Set 119 in Adelaide, Perth began well through Elyse Villani (23) and England captain Charlotte Edwards (18).
But Brunt was trapped lbw for 18 from 20 balls in the last over as they ended on 110-9, losing by eight runs.
Hobart Hurricanes face Sydney Sixers on Friday for a place in Sunday's final.
Hurricanes skipper Heather Knight and Sixers all-rounder Laura Marsh are the only England players left in the competition, although Marsh is not in the Sixers' 13-strong squad for Friday.
Thunder - the only Women's Big Bash team without any England internationals - were indebted to captain Alex Blackwell (39) and West Indies opener Stafanie Taylor (24), who helped them post 118-6 in 20 overs.
Thunder's Australia seamer Rene Farrell held her nerve to take two wickets in the final over of the match - Brunt and ex-England all-rounder Nicky Shaw - to finish with 3-20.
Meanwhile, Thunder's male counterparts also reached the final of the men's Big Bash League, beating Adelaide Strikers by eight wickets. | A late rally from England's Katherine Brunt could not prevent Sydney Thunder from beating Perth Scorchers to reach the final of the inaugural Women's Big Bash League. | 35369188 | [

They will be able to end tenancies, sometimes without a court order, when asylum requests fail, ministers say.
Landlords will also be required to check a migrant's status in advance of agreeing a lease. Repeat offenders could face up to five years in prison.
But critics have said it may lead to UK citizens being refused accommodation.
The proposals - to be included in the upcoming Immigration Bill - come as the British and French governments struggle to deal with a migrant crisis in Calais, where large numbers of people are making nightly bids to cross the Channel to reach the UK.
Under the proposals for landlords in England, the Home Office would issue a notice when an asylum application fails that confirms the tenant no longer has the right to rent property.
Analysis by legal correspondent Clive Coleman
It is currently a criminal offence to remove tenants without a court order. Obtaining that order enables bailiffs to evict tenants. That all takes time. The new measure may cut out court orders, but it is unclear:
This will trigger a power for landlords to end the tenancy, without a court order in some circumstances.
Landlords will also be required to carry out "right to rent" checks on each tenant's immigration status before allowing them to move in, expanding a pilot that has been running for a year in the west Midlands.
Repeatedly failing to do either would be a new offence carrying maximum penalties of five years' imprisonment or a fine.
A blacklist of "rogue" landlords and letting agents will allow councils to keep track of those who have been convicted of housing offences and ban them from renting out properties if they are repeat offenders.
Communities Secretary Greg Clark acknowledged that cases in which tenants refused to move out would still end up in court but that the process would be quicker because landlords would have official "evidence" to present to the courts of their tenant's status.
"You have saved the landlord having to spend money establishing something that is clear and that the Home Office can provide - which is a clear statement of whether they should be there or not," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Asked whether evicting migrants simply increased the risk of people disappearing altogether, unless immediately detained by the police, Mr Clark said the initiative was part of a "joined-up system to send people home".
Analysis, by Alicia McCarthy
The streets of the UK are not paved with gold. That's the clear message the government wants to send to those tempted to come to Britain illegally.
Ministers say the tightening of the demands on private landlords in England is simply the enactment of a manifesto promise to make them carry out the same checks as employers and that migrants need to know there is no right to work or rent a home if you are in the UK illegally.
It's not clear yet how the scheme will work or what impact it will have other than moving illegal immigrants from where they are living.
And some may suspect the timing of the announcement is a response to the nightly television news pictures showing scores of desperate migrants trying to cross the channel - and to criticism from some that ministers have failed to get a grip on the situation swiftly enough.
For Labour, shadow immigration minister David Hanson said he backed tougher checks but said ministers appeared to be "offloading" the problem on to landlords and it was up to the authorities to decide whether people should be allowed to remain or deported.
Since August 2014, private landlords in five councils - Dudley, Sandwell, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Birmingham - have been required to conduct checks to establish new tenants have the right to rent in the UK or face face a penalty of up to £3,000.
Mr Clark said the pilot - introduced as part of the 2014 Immigration Act - had been a success and would be extended across more of the UK, although he could not say how many people had been deported as a direct result.
But the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants said the pilot - which has yet to be officially evaluated - had serious shortcomings.
"We have heard that British people with foreign accents are finding it difficult to get tenancies from some of the, you might say, unscrupulous landlords," its chief executive Habib Rahman told Radio 4's World at One.
And David Smith, from the Residential Landlords Association, said there was evidence of "document discrimination" with some landlords reluctant to rent their properties to anyone who could not produce a valid passport. | Landlords in England will be expected to evict tenants who lose the right to live in the UK under new measures to clamp down on illegal immigration. | 33754595 | [

Overturning a 2013 ruling, the judges did not, however, halt the programme but urged Congress to take action.
The NSA's spying was leaked by Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor who has since fled to Russia.
The NSA has collected data about numbers called and times, but not the content of conversations. It also allegedly spied on European firms.
Among individuals targeted was German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Germany has "drastically reduced" internet surveillance for the NSA, reports say, after the US agency failed to provide "clear justification" for each search.
Members of Congress could "help reinforce the court's decision" next week, American University's Gordon Adams tells me. That's when House members are expected to vote on a bill, the USA Freedom Act, that would end the NSA's collection of bulk data.
Some senators, however, want things to remain the same. They've pushed for an extension of a provision, Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act that allows the NSA to collect the data.
Section 215 expires in June, and an extension would allow the NSA to carry on with its work.
US spy leaks: How intelligence is gathered
How vulnerable is the internet?
US states take aim at NSA facilities
The latest verdict, by the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, came after New York District Judge William Pauley had dismissed a legal challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) which argued that the way the NSA tracked million of calls contravened the US constitution.
The 97-page ruling says that "a provision of the USA Patriot Act permitting the Federal Bureau of Investigation to collect business records deemed relevant to a counterterrorism investigation cannot be legitimately interpreted to permit the systematic bulk collection of domestic calling records".
However, the appeals court stopped short of ruling on the constitutionality of the programme, launched after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US.
The Snowden revelations in June 2013 caused an international outcry, despite US administrations insisting the programme has been fully authorised.
The measures - repeatedly approved in secret by a national security court since 2006 - are set to expire on 1 June.
Leaders of the lower US House of Representatives would prefer to pass a bill to end the government's bulk collection of phone records and replace it with legislation that supporters say protects civil liberties. But Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated he wants to extend the Patriot Act and retain the bulk collection programme.
The White House supports "an alternative mechanism to preserve the program's essential capabilities without the government holding the bulk data", said Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council.
But the ACLU's deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer said: "The appeals court's careful ruling should end any debate about whether the NSA's phone-records program is lawful." | A US appeals court has ruled that bulk collection of phone records by the National Security Agency is illegal. | 32620742 | [

The fountain commemorates those who took part in Operation Anthropoid, a successful mission to assassinate Nazi police chief Reinhard Heydrich.
The Czech and Slovak soldiers who took part were based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, where the fountain is.
Their story was recently made into a film.
The fountain, with the names of the seven soldiers who took park carved around it, is in Leamington Spa's Jephson Gardens.
Fundraiser Carrie Saint said it had been commissioned and funded by former Czech and Slovak soldiers, but now was in urgent need of restoration.
During the war a refugee camp for Czech and Slovak solders had been set up in nearby Moreton Paddox, which is where the soldiers who took part in the mission had been based before the raid. The Free Czechoslovak Army had also been based in the town.
An exhibition telling the story of the parachutists is being held at the Leamington Pump rooms and a film, Operation Anthropoid starring Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan as soldiers Jozef Gabcik and Jan Kubis, was released in September. | Campaigners are hoping to raise £25,000 to help restore a fountain put up in memory of men who died during a World War II mission. | 37883684 | [

59-year-old Vivian Gabb, a pilates and tennis coach from London, was in the final stages of buying a house when the scammers struck.
She was unaware that her email had been hacked and every email she wrote and received was being monitored by criminals.
They sent her a message disguised as a follow-up email from her solicitor, asking for nearly £50,000 to be paid into their account.
The internet safety advice website Get Safe Online says more than half (51%) of people in the UK have been a victim of an online crime, and 15% of people have been victims of either attempted or successful hacks of their email account.

Welshman Davies won his second gold in Italy with an F42 discus world record after his shot success on Sunday.
Hermitage also won gold number two with a world record in the T37 200m.
Weir claimed his third gold, again leading home team-mate Richard Chiassaro, this time in the T54 800m.
There was also a superb silver for London 2012 double bronze medallist David Devine in the T13 1500m after over three years out injured and for veteran Graeme Ballard (T36 100m), while Stephen Miller (F32 club) and Isaac Towers (T34 200m) took bronzes.
Davies had a best throw of 54.14m, beating his previous record of 49.59 and his winning margin in the event, which is not part of the Rio programme, was more than eight metres.
"I am absolutely delighted with that result," said the 25-year-old. "To throw a personal best on the main stage is something every athlete wants to do. For me, I was even more shocked because I haven't been doing too much discus this year as I have been focusing on the shot put for Rio, but I know there is a lot more in the tank.
"I know I can throw a long way but the fact that I am surprised myself is very exciting."
Hermitage followed up her T37 400m success with another superb performance, clocking 27.21 to beat France's Marie-Francois Elie's 28.35 set at the 2013 Worlds in Lyon.
"I'm just so happy to get the world record and win a second European gold medal," she said. "The 400m on Monday was very pressurised but the 200m isn't a Rio event for me, however it is something I still really enjoy. I went into it a lot calmer and more relaxed so maybe that helped."
Devine was overhauled late on in his race by Poland's Lucasz Wietecki but the 24-year-old Liverpudlian, who only returned to training in December, had mixed feelings on his comeback.
"It is obviously great to win a medal again but I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't strong enough to hold on for the gold," he said.
"I've only only raced three times since London so it is bound to take some time to get race fit. Give me a couple of months and I'll be able to hold them off.
"There have been so many times when I have wanted to quit but my mum and dad told me I couldn't because I had too much talent and was too good to give in." | Aled Davies, Georgie Hermitage and David Weir all added to their gold medal tallies as Great Britain enjoyed another successful day at the IPC Athletics European Championships. | 36532094 | [

An IoD report, Ultrafast Britain, says the UK is lagging behind many European nations when installing fibre optic cables that enable the fastest broadband connections.
It is calling for faster broadband access for homes and business.
A government spokesperson said most UK homes can get "superfast" broadband.
"Almost nine out of ten UK properties has access to superfast speeds and 95% of the UK will be reached by 2017," a spokesperson for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport told the BBC.
But the IoD believes the target should be higher and is calling for speeds of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) by 2030, 1,000 times faster than the current official aim of 10 megabits per second (Mbps) by 2020.
"Now is the time to set a bold new target for genuinely world-beating broadband," said Dan Lewis, senior advisor on Infrastructure Policy at the IoD, and author of the report.
"We have the leading internet economy in the G20, and yet download speeds are mediocre and the coverage of fibre optic cable is woeful."
He added: "Unfortunately, the Government's current target displays a distinct poverty of ambition."
Mr Lewis said the government needed to look at how the UK could provide the physical infrastructure needed to maintain a position "at the forefront of digital innovation in business".
IoD members interviewed for the report said that better broadband speeds could increase their company's productivity, make them more competitive, and enable them to offer more flexible working to their staff.
The IoD report comes just days after communications watchdog Ofcom said BT must open up its cable network and allow competition to improve UK internet connections.
Ofcom also said there was a digital divide in the UK between those with the latest technologies, and those without.
It has proposed that decent, affordable broadband should be a universal right.
Rivals had called for a split between BT and its Openreach operation, which runs its cables, fibre and network infrastructure.
Companies such as Sky, Vodafone and TalkTalk, who pay to use the network, had claimed that BT underinvested in Openreach, leading to a poor service with interruptions and slow speeds. | Business leaders' group the Institute of Directors (IoD) has accused the UK government of a "poverty of ambition" on broadband speeds. | 35681475 | [

Andrew Apperley, 38, from Eastbourne, was reported missing after failing to return to his hotel four days after going to a Full Moon party.
Richard Apperley said the situation was "just heartbreaking".
"My mum lost her husband and now she's lost her youngest son... it's created a big loss in our lives," he said.
"He leaves a young daughter as well."
Mr Apperley, who was raised in Gloucestershire, flew to Bangkok before travelling onto the resort island of Koh Samui.
On 12 February he headed by boat for a party on the island of Koh Phangan.
His brothers found a series of text messages sent to friends on 13 February appearing to suggest he may be in danger, including one mentioning a "scary guy with the face mask".
His body was found four days after he was reported missing on 17 February.
Richard Apperley said he owed it to his brother to press the Thai authorities to investigate, adding he suspected foul play.
"I can't sleep at night, I've been up for days and days sat at the computer running a social media campaign which has gone global.
"I'm not go to go away and they need to deal with this."
He added the family plan to fly out to Thailand in the next few days. | The brother of a British tourist found dead after a beach party in Thailand says he suspects foul play and want answers from the authorities. | 39107070 | [

But are there limits to how far authenticity can take a politician?
During the course of his campaign Donald Trump has made statements that mainstream politicians would consider disastrous gaffes, alienating important parts of the electorate.
"When Mexico sends its people," Trump told an audience in Arizona, "they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists..."
It was a remark bound to alienate Hispanic voters. But others liked Trump for saying what he thinks.
One recent poll shows him having 24% support for the Republican nomination - well ahead of second-placed Jeb Bush's 11%.
One of Trump's key messages is that he is so rich that no one can buy him.
Jeremy Corbyn, who has a record as one of the Labour Party's most rebellious MPs, argues that while many of his colleagues duck and weave, he is an honourable man committed to core principles on which he will not compromise.
His ability to pack halls with huge crowds suggest it's a message that has great resonance.
In Europe - especially in southern countries hit hard by the financial crisis - some insurgent politicians have broken through.
Historically most European populist parties - which generally pit the people against a self-serving elite - have been on the right.
But in recent years the left too has produced Spain's Podemas and in Greece, Syriza, which went from a protest party to forming the government, taking on the bureaucrats in Brussels.
In the last UK general election Nigel Farage's UKIP won support by arguing that it was prepared to confront issues that the Westminster politicians were trying to dodge.
And in Scotland the SNP swept to power, partly by running against what the party portrayed as a privileged and remote political establishment in London.
There are a number of explanations for the increasing number of people who resent mainstream politicians.
As well as a long-term fall in the levels of deference, sceptics point to spin doctors, focus groups, heavily managed public appearances and mainstream politicians' use of vacuous, scripted language.
Campaign finance scandals also create mistrust.
It is estimated that to run a successful re-election campaign a US senator needs to raise over $14,000 (£8,900) every day that he or she is in office.
Aware that they are distrusted, some politicians try to connect with voters by emoting in public.
When Hilary Clinton was performing worse that expected in the 2008 New Hampshire Democratic Party primary contest, she broke down in tears on TV.
Analysts at the time said that moment helped her to secure victory in the state.
But even if many mainstream politicians cast an envious glance at colleagues perceived to be authentic, there are limits to conviction politics.
On both sides of the Atlantic the current phases of the electoral cycles means Trump and Corbyn are appealing for support from active party members.
If either win they will face the daunting challenge of broadening their appeal to less politically committed voters.
And even then authenticity does not always produce the results voters are hoping for.
Jose Mujica of Uruguay is generally considered to have been one of the most authentic politicians of modern times.
Having won the presidency in 2010 he turned down the chance to live in the presidential palace, staying instead in his modest home on the outskirts of Montevideo.
A revolutionary fighter who spent over a decade in prison, Mujica stayed true to many of his ideals, giving away 90% of his presidential salary.
Jose Mujica: The world's 'poorest' president
But even some of President Mujica's allies said that their leader's undimmed idealism did not turn into as many practical reforms as they had hoped for.
And for all Mujica's impassioned and heartfelt denunciations of consumerism, most Uruguayans were just as materialistic at the end of his term in office as they were at the start.
Many admire authentic politicians. But those who stay true to their beliefs and manage to win power still face the challenge of turning their ideas into implementable policy.

Guinea have arguably the toughest group of the African contenders, being drawn in Group A alongside hosts South Korea, six-times winners Argentina and their old rivals England.
South Africa will be in Group D and will take on Japan, Italy and Uruguay whilst Senegal will take on Ecuador, USA and Saudi Arabia in Group F in the tournament which runs from 20 May to 11 June.
The head coach of South Africa's Under-20 team, Thabo Senong, admitted the Amajita have a challenging task ahead of them.
"We have a difficult assignment but I believe once we have completed our preparation we will be up for the task" said Senong.
"I am, however, looking forward to this great football spectacle and I can assure the nation that we are not going there to make the numbers, we are going to compete," he added.
The 24 participants were seeded into four pots for Wednesday's draw.
The teams were drawn by Argentine stars Diego Maradona (pictured) - who was on the winning team in 1979 and kissed the trophy as he brought it on stage in Suwon - and Pablo Aimar, a winner in 1997. | The African champions Zambia have been handed a tough opening match at the Fifa Under-20 World Cup in May, following Wednesday's draw in South Korea. | 39280810 | [

The firm said there were waiting times of up to three and a half hours at the terminal in Folkestone and an hour in Calais.
It tweeted the delays were "due to increased security measures" and said it was working hard to minimise them.
On Thursday, a teenager thought to be from east Africa was killed by freight train near the tunnel in Calais.
The boy is the 11th person to have died in or near the tunnel while trying to reach Britain, since late June.
In a statement, Eurotunnel said: "There is a waiting time of approximately three and a half hours on the terminal.
"We regret that we are currently unable to sell tickets to non-reserved customers.
"We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause to your journey."
The rail operator also tweeted earlier that services had been affected by a power problem on the national French network but issues were later resolved.
It said security systems would be checked within the Channel Tunnel before any trains were allowed to enter.
There has been a fall in intrusion attempts at Eurotunnel's terminal in Calais after extra security measures were introduced in Europe.
The situation in Calais is part of a wider crisis across Europe, with migrants and refugees heading north from the Mediterranean. | Eurotunnel passengers have faced fresh delays after "migrant activity" led to extra security measures in France. | 34361389 | [

The opposition Socialists struck a deal with two smaller far-left parties over the weekend, all but guaranteeing Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho will fall.
Mr Passos Coelho's party emerged as the largest in October's election, but has no absolute majority.
Government bond yields hit a five-month high, while shares fell 1.9%.
"The scenario of a left-wing government and the ousting of the centre-right is about to become reality, which the markets obviously don't like," said Joao Lampreia, an analyst at Banco BiG.
Portugal's benchmark 10-year bond yields jumped over 20 basis points to 2.87%, the highest since July, as investors anticipated higher borrowing costs.
Socialist Party leader Antonio Costa sealed the so-called "Triple Left" pact with the Communist Party and Left Bloc over the weekend.
Together they will have 122 seats, enough to out-vote the centre-right coalition government, which was left with only 107 after October's inconclusive elections.
A vote on the government's programme is likely to take place on Tuesday, when the leftist parties are set to use their parliamentary advantage to topple the minority administration.
Matt Cairns, a strategist at Rabobank, said there were fears a change in government "could end up in some wind-back of austerity measures".
Another analyst, Rainer Guntermann at Commerzbank, warned "rating jitters are also on the rise for Portugal".
Amid the political uncertainty, Portugal's only investment grade credit rating will be assessed on Friday by credit agency DBRS.
The loss of that rating would bar Portugal from the European Central Bank's quantitative easing (QE) programme, Commerzbank warns. | Portuguese bonds and stocks were hit on Monday as a coalition of left-of-centre anti-austerity parties looked set to form the country's next government. | 34763755 | [

The report was commissioned by former PM David Cameron in the wake of the Tower Hamlets election fraud scandal in 2015.
He said the review had heard evidence that in a London borough at the general election someone arrived at the polling station with 500 postal votes.
"I'm very worried - I don't believe political parties should touch or handle in any way a completed ballot paper," he said. | Former communities secretary Sir Eric Pickles has told the BBC about his concerns over the findings of his report on tackling electoral fraud. | 37059188 | [

Unconfirmed media reports say that Chinese troops have entered what India says is its territory near the disputed border.
"Chumar sector in eastern Ladakh remained active with Chinese Peoples' Liberation Army (PLA) troops involved in tactical manoeuvre with the Indian army to exercise dominance by transgressing the Line of Actual Control (the de facto border)," reports the Hindustan Times.
Papers also report that the army chief, General Dalbir Singh Suhag, has cancelled his Bhutan visit due to the tensions on the border.
"The decision to put off the trip has been taken at a time when, for the last more than 10 days, Chinese troops have been sitting on this side of the Indian boundary in Chumar area of Ladakh," says a report on the First Post website.
Some media outlets say the tensions are likely to "undo" the progress made during Chinese President Xi Jinping's India visit last week.
Mr Xi and PM Narendra Modi had shown a keen interest in improving bilateral ties.
"The great bonhomie generated between Asia's giants at Ahmedabad and New Delhi is withering away in the windswept cold desert of Ladakh," says the India Today website.
Moving on to other stories, Abhinav Bindra, one of India's top Indian shooters, on Tuesday won two bronze medals in the ongoing Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, The Times of India reports.
His good performance comes a day after he announced his retirement from the sport. Bindra on Monday tweeted that the ongoing Asian Games could be his last competitive event.
"Tomorrow will mark the end of my professional shooting life! I will however still shoot, compete as a hobby shooter training twice a week," he tweeted.
And finally, papers are praising India's space agency after the country's maiden mission to Mars "entered the Martian neighbourhood" on Monday.
Launched last November, the spacecraft - known as Mangalyaan - will complete a 300-day journey to reach the orbit on Wednesday.
"If successful, India will become the first country to make it to Mars in its maiden attempt, propelling it to an elite club of space race leaders," the Hindustan Times reports.

The so-called tampon tax is a sales tax on feminine hygiene products which are used to absorb menstrual blood.
Necessities such as food and medicine are exempt from the tax, but some states do not include tampons and pads.
Advocates have decried the tax as an unfair burden on women since tampons are not considered a luxury.
The Democratic governor cited fiscal concerns over his decision to block the bipartisan bill.
Tampon tax paid around the world
"Each of these bills creates a new tax break or expands an existing tax break," Mr Brown said in a statement.
The governor also vetoed several similar bills, including one to end tax on nappies, arguing the measures would reduce state revenue by $300m (£227m) in the coming year.
Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, who authored the bill, lambasted the veto, vowing to "keep pushing until we get it done".
There is no "tampon tax" which specifically is pointed at feminine products, but many US states do not exempt the product from the regular state sales tax.
The average statewide sales tax is 6.25%, but in some cases, can run as high as 10.25% like in Chicago, due to city and county surcharges.
The tampon tax debate has gained momentum as a global movement in part due to a social media push to end the stigma surrounding menstruation through hashtag campaigns such as #HappyToBleed and #FreeTheTampons.
In 2015, a London woman went viral after she ran the marathon without using feminine hygiene products to draw attention to the issue.
'Tampon tax': How much do women pay for periods?
The same year, Republican Donald Trump stirred controversy after he referred to Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly as having had "blood coming out of her wherever," prompting the hashtag #PeriodsAreNotAnInsult.
President Barack Obama also underscored the issue when he said he had "no idea" why tampons were taxed as a luxury item in some states earlier this year.
Just 13 of the 50 US states have no tax on feminine hygiene products.
In 2016 alone, 15 states introduced legislation or proposed debate to eliminate the tampon tax.
Last month a Florida woman filed a class-action lawsuit against several state agencies and major retailers with the aim of repealing Florida's sales tax on tampons and reimbursing consumers with millions of dollars.
American consumers spent $3.1bn (£2.3bn) on tampons and other feminine hygiene products last year, according to market research firm Euromonitor.
The average woman menstruates from the ages of 12 to 50 and tampons in the US cost roughly $7 (£5.30) for a box of 36.
New York officials estimate that by exempting feminine hygiene products from its sales tax, consumers save about $10m (£7.5m) a year in purchasing tampons, pads and other similar products.
Meanwhile, the California tax brings in upwards of $20m (£15m) annually, according to Ms Garcia.
Last July, Canada eliminated its national goods and services tax on menstrual products while several countries have cut the tax.
Online petitions prompted countries such as Britain, Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands to end the practice while French lawmakers voted to reduce its tax on sanitary products from 20% to 5.5% following protests last year.
Australia also launched a campaign to end a 10% Goods and Services (GST) tax, but the country's states and territories decided to keep the tax on feminine products in 2015. | California Governor Jerry Brown has vetoed a bill to end a sales tax on feminine hygiene products, a levy that has sparked worldwide debate. | 37365286 | [

Richard Parks had been attempting to become the first person to take blood and muscle samples at the summit to investigate the effects of altitude.
But Parks, 38, who was climbing without using supplemental oxygen, has returned to Wales after becoming at "high risk of life-threatening complications".
He has previously climbed Everest and trekked solo to the South Pole.
The former Wales rugby international, originally from Pontypridd, had reached Camp Two, which is 6,400m (21,000ft) above sea level - the summit is 8,848m (29,029ft).
But he ended the expedition after results over the weekend showed he had abnormal blood readings, putting him at greater risk of a stroke or heart attack.
The climb had been 18 months in the planning and was part of the collaborative British research expedition called Project Everest Cynllun.
It was hoped data from the project would allow researchers to explore the mechanisms underpinning dementia and resilience.
On ending the world-first bid, Parks said it had "been a bitter pill to swallow".
"I am confident of my process to make the decision. It's the right one. I'm at peace, but it's been a brutal few days," he said.
"I am not prepared to risk my life over and above the risks I have considered, trained and prepared for, or risk the lives of those around me."
Parks was a back-row forward who played for Pontypridd, Leeds, Perpignan and Newport Gwent Dragons and won four caps for Wales. | A Welsh adventurer has been forced to end his expedition on Mount Everest due to "medical complications". | 36215556 | [

The Czech-born American helped Murray win Olympic gold, the US Open and Wimbledon before they parted in March.
Lendl, 54, could not commit to the amount of travelling required but sees himself returning at some stage.
"I've had a lot of enquiries," he told BBC Sport. "Eventually, when the time and situation are right, I enjoyed it enough that I will do it again."
Lendl, a former world number one and eight-time Grand Slam champion, admitted the travelling issue was the main drawback to taking up another role.
"There are so many things to coaching which I don't enjoy: the travel, the airports, being on the road for so long," he said.
"I don't like doing anything in half-measures, so in order to do it properly it takes a lot of time. That's the hardest part."
Tomas Berdych, the world number seven from the Czech Republic, spoke last week about his wish to work with Lendl.
"I think it's something which I was thinking about, definitely," said Berdych.
"I think it just needs probably the right time and timing to make it happen. Let's see. I hope for the time it's going to come up. Fingers crossed."
Lendl met Murray and his team in New York a few days before the start of the US Open, in which the Briton went on to reach the quarter-finals before losing to top seed Novak Djokovic.
"I think Andy needs to win some matches to get some confidence, that's the key there," said Lendl.
Asked about his time with the Scot, he added: "I enjoyed it. It obviously was difficult at times in terms of travel, which I don't like doing, but I'm really glad that we got together and that Andy had the success he had.

"I'm very proud to be a little part of that."
The success of their partnership sparked a trend in men's tennis for famous names of the past to return as coaches.
Saturday's US Open semi-finals saw Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Michael Chang and Goran Ivanisevic in the four coaching corners.
"I don't think that it's a coincidence, I really don't," said Lendl.
"I always felt that one of the biggest attributes of Tony Roche coaching me for 10 years, what he was giving me was the knowledge of what it feels like to be on that Centre Court on Sunday afternoon.
"He has done all four of them, been in all four finals. I don't care how good a coach you are, it's very difficult without having done it yourself.
"It's so different walking out there on Sunday or Monday for the finals, and even the semi-finals, if you have someone you can talk to about your feelings." | Ivan Lendl says he is "proud" of his work with Andy Murray and expects to return to coaching in the future. | 29104281 | [

Yvonne Mosquito, the West Midlands Deputy PCC, was suspended after visiting a murder victim's family without informing officers.
Following a disciplinary in May 2016, Ms Mosquito had an employment tribunal listed to take place in May 2017.
A joint statement said "all outstanding matters" were resolved.
A BBC source said Ms Mosquito had received a payout. The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner said it would not comment on whether money had exchanged hands.
Allegations against Ms Mosquito related to a visit she paid to the family of Kenichi Phillips, 18, who was shot dead in a car in Birmingham, on 17 March 2016.
Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson said her actions "caused ongoing upset and distress" and "damaged the relationship" between the family and police "in the middle of a complex and sensitive murder investigation".
Her supporters insisted she visited as an ordained minister who wanted to offer condolences to relatives.
Her union Unite rejected the allegations, saying it was "deplorable" the hearing went ahead in Ms Mosquito's absence.
She was issued with a final written warning and her contract was never renewed.
The BBC previously reported Ms Mosquito wrote a letter of complaint about the PCC's behaviour towards her, of which the PCC was aware, four weeks before her suspension.
A joint statement issued by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) and Ms Mosquito said they were "happy to announce that they have amicably settled all outstanding matters between them".
"Litigation is a stressful business and the parties acknowledge and regret the effects that inevitably follow from that," it added.
The former colleagues thanked each other for their work around issues of equality, the statement added. | A row between a Police and Crime Commissioner and his deputy, who was found guilty of serious misconduct, has been resolved following a payout. | 38743285 | [

Dilapidated windows at HMP Pentonville are worsening a drug problem at the London jail, its Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said in a report.
It found blocked toilets and leaking sewage, and said the escapes and the killing of an inmate demonstrated "serious shortcomings".
The Ministry of Justice said more resources were being put in place.
Members of the IMB visit the jail several days a week throughout the year and said "aspects of the physical environment of Pentonville are inhumane".
It said: "Confining two men in a cell measuring 12ft by 8ft is not humane treatment.
"One has to eat his meal in the cell while the other may be sitting on a badly-screened toilet a few feet away."
It added: "The prison struggles to ensure the basics of decency largely due to the outsourced provider responsible for maintenance - Carillion."
It concluded: "The contract is working neither for Pentonville nor the taxpayer".
A Carillion spokesman said: "The age and condition of Pentonville prison presents maintenance challenges which our people work hard to overcome.
"Although the level of reactive maintenance jobs has increased we have continued to improve our performance against the agreed targets."
The Category B prison is holding 380 more men than the Prison Service deems it suitable for, the IMB said.
The report raised concerns about the risk to safety from the prison's old windows, whose replacement was recommended by the National Offender Management Service following the fatal stabbing of Jamal Mahmoud, 21, in October 2016.
It said: "Less than a month later two prisoners escaped through a cell window."
Matthew Baker, 29, and James Whitlock, 32, went on the run after sawing through a metal bar, clambering over roofs and swinging round a CCTV pole on a sheet.
"Until all the windows are replaced contraband received by drone or from throw-overs will continue to put the safety of staff and prisoners at risk," the report added.
"If cells cannot contain prisoners, then the safety of the public is also at risk."
A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: "Pentonville has been through a very challenging period. While the Board notes progress has been made in improving staff safety with body worn cameras for all uniformed staff, and new CCTV to tackle the flow of contraband into prisons, it is also clear there remains much more to be done.
"We are boosting the frontline by recruiting more staff at HMP Pentonville and for prisons across the estate.
"With these additional resources in places, Pentonville will be better able to address the concerns raised in the report and improve progress as a matter of urgency." | A prison where two cellmates made an escape bid has been labelled "squalid" and "inhumane". | 40749895 | [

Eight people were found dead in the vehicle in a Walmart car park in San Antonio, Texas, and 31 others were treated. Two later died in hospital.
The driver, named as James Mathew Bradley, 60, could face the death penalty.
He says the immigrants were placed in his trailer while he was distracted.
They were inside the trailer without access to air conditioning or water while outside temperatures hit 38C (100F).
Police say they believe the incident is linked to people smuggling.
Video footage from the store reportedly showed a number of vehicles arriving to pick up some of the survivors. Several others may have managed to escape on foot into the woods nearby.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting head Thomas Homan said more than 100 people could have been in the truck at one point.
Mexico's government said it was working closely with US authorities to identify the nationalities of the victims.
San Antonio is a few hours' drive from the border with Mexico, and the US immigration department is trying to establish the victims' legal status.
Officials were brought to the trailer by a man who had approached an employee of the Walmart store and asked for water.
San Antonio police chief William McManus said in a press briefing that the people ranged from school age to in their 30s.
Local fire chief Charles Hood said the survivors had heart rates of over 130 beats per minute and were very hot to touch.
The fire chief confirmed at least two of the victims were school-age children. Their condition is not clear.
The US attorney for the Western District of Texas, Richard Durbin, said the people were helpless victims of "ruthless human smugglers indifferent to the wellbeing of their fragile cargo".
Experts say people smuggling is a serious issue in southern Texas, and there have been a number of similar cases in the area just in this past month.
On 7 July, US Border Patrol agents found 72 undocumented immigrants from Central American countries locked inside a trailer "with no means of escape".
The next day 33 people were found locked inside a trailer at a checkpoint on the road to San Antonio. | A truck driver has been charged with illegally transporting immigrants after dozens of people were discovered in the back of his trailer. | 40710223 | [

Cook made an unbeaten half-century against the tourists for South Africa A in a warm-up match before the series.
The 33-year-old is the son of former Proteas Test batsman Jimmy Cook.
England have already won the four-match series and lead it 2-0 after beating South Africa by seven wickets in Johannesburg on Saturday.
"Stephen has been in excellent form this season and gives us another option at the top of the order," said chief selector Linda Zondi.
He looks set to replace the out-of-form Stiaan van Zyl, who has made just 69 runs in five innings at the top of the order.
Cook has scored two centuries and a 76 in his past three matches for the Highveld Lions.
Dale Steyn retains his place in a 17-man squad for the match, but is thought to be struggling with the shoulder injury that has kept him out of the past two Tests.
Quinton de Kock is also set to return as wicketkeeper. He was ruled out of the third Test after injuring his knee while walking his dogs, but his replacement Dane Vilas has not been included this time.
South Africa squad: AB de Villiers (c), Kyle Abbott, Hashim Amla, Temba Bavuma, Stephen Cook, Quinton de Kock (wkt), JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Dean Elgar, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris, Dane Piedt, Kagiso Rabada, Rilee Rossouw, Dale Steyn, Stiaan van Zyl, Hardus Viljoen. | Uncapped opener Stephen Cook has been added to the South Africa squad for the final Test against England, which starts in Pretoria on Friday. | 35340791 | [

The new measure could lead to delays of up to three years before new drugs are made available to give NHS bosses the chance to try to renegotiate the price with drug firms.
The plan was agreed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence amid mounting pressure on NHS funds.
It will be introduced from next month.
NICE chief executive Sir Andrew Dillon said the move was needed given the "significant financial challenge facing the NHS".
Patient groups and the drug industry have already objected to the plan - a consultation has been run over the past three months.
Currently, drugs that are assessed as being cost-effective by NICE are automatically recommend for use in the NHS.
Once that happens, the health service has 90 days to start offering the drugs.
But crucially that process just assesses the cost versus benefit of the drug on the basis of the impact to an individual.
It does not take into account how many people may take the drug and therefore the total cost to the NHS.
Under the new plan, widely used drugs and expensive but effective drugs that breach the £20m a year threshold will face a secondary process.
NHS England, which pushed for the change, will be able to halt the 90-day deadline and begin talks with the drug manufacturer to try to get the price down.
They will be able to apply for an extension of up to three years. At that point, NICE will review what is happening.
During this period, NICE will have the power to allow restricted use to patients deemed most in need.
The move comes as the drugs bill is on the rise. Last year £16.8bn was spent on drugs by the NHS, up from £13bn in 2011.
There is concern a breakthrough in fields such as dementia could end up costing the NHS billions of pounds.
Last year NHS bosses capped the number of patients that could be given a new drug for hepatitis C, to keep the annual cost at £200m.
The new arrangements will be applied only to new drugs.
Information provided by the industry suggested that if they had been in place they would have affected the rollout of drugs such as Ezetimibe, used by 159,000 people with heart disease, and Lucentis, which is used by 1,200 people with diabetes to prevent sight loss.
As well as introducing the cap, NICE has also agreed to a fast-track process for cheaper drugs. | A new £20m-a-year cap on the cost of new drugs will be introduced in the NHS in England in an attempt to save money, health chiefs have announced. | 39285449 | [

It says it has received more than 1,000 complaints about calls and texts this year.
The consumer group Which? also believes unsolicited calls have increased with the arrival of pension freedom.
Both organisations have urged people of pension age to be on their guard against fraud attempts.
In the past, fraudsters trying to access savings have needed to set up fake pension schemes, before persuading victims to transfer their money.
But since pension freedom changes came into force on 6 April, anyone over 55 has been able to withdraw their pension savings and put them where they like, subject to certain conditions.
Steve Eckersley, head of enforcement at the Information Commissioner's Office, told Radio 4's Money Box that fraudsters are always looking for new opportunities.
"We always thought it could lead to an increase in the number of unlawful calls which are made. We're hoping it won't match the scale of the calls made in relation to PPI."
He believes part of the problem is people giving permission to be contacted to a firm with no obvious financial services connection.
It may then sell it onto a firm offering to help invest your pension money.
"They're saying they'll share information with affiliated members or third parties. We say they should be clear about which organisations they share their information with."
The consumer group Which? estimates that over the last two years, one in every three people over 55 has been contacted about their pension without having requested it.
Gareth Shaw, editor of Which? Money, believes the problem has increased dramatically since the start of the year.
"Two in five of the people who had been contacted had been contacted in the first three months of this year and that's actually double the whole of 2014."
He said people were being tempted by a range of services.
"Things like investment opportunities, free pension reviews, legal loopholes and early access to their pension cash. All the well-worn phrases and the warning signs that many of the industry bodies have said that people need to look out for.
"If you get a call about transferring a pension or an investment opportunity, it's not going to be from a genuine company."
Steve Eckersley, head of enforcement at the Information Commissioner's Office, warned fraudsters that his organisation has stronger powers since last month.
"Prior to April 6, we had to show that consumers had suffered substantial damage or distress.
"But since the change in the law, all we have to show is there has been a serious contravention . We can issue fines up to £500,000. "

US markets had finished higher on expectations that job figures for February, due out later on Friday, will show a strong pace of growth.
Asia's biggest market, Japan's Nikkei 225 closed 0.3% higher at 17,014.78.
Shares in the embattled electronics firm Sharp rose 9.4% on new reports it was close to a deal with Taiwan's Foxconn.
The jump came after the Nikkei business daily reported that Sharp and Foxconn parent company Hon Hai Precision Industry were continuing talks, with both sides seeking to conclude a takeover deal by Monday.
Earlier talks had been delayed when Foxconn said it had received new information from Sharp which needed to be clarified.
In Australia, the ASX 200 index finished the day up 0.2% at 5,090.02.
Shares of commodity giant BHP Billiton rose 2.4%, with investors unfazed by a downgrade by credit ratings agency Moody's.
Moody's cut its ratings of the Anglo-Australian firm to "A3" from "A1", citing the deterioration in the company's earnings and cash flow as reasons.
The ratings agency also said it expected low commodity prices and softer demand to continue to affect BHP.
In China, the mainland benchmark Shanghai Composite index closed up 0.5% at 2,874.15. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended up 1.2% at 20,176.70.
Samsonite shares rose 1.3% as the company confirmed that it was taking over US luxury rival Tumi.

Pan gyhoeddwyd canlyniad y bleidlais gyhoeddus ym Mrwsel nos Fawrth, fe ddaeth Derwen Brimmon - coeden tua 500 mlwydd oed ger Y Drenewydd - yn ail i goeden 650 oed yn Wisniowa yng Ngwlad Pwyl.
Cafodd y goeden Bwylaidd 1,400 yn fwy o bleidleisiau.
Yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd fe gafodd y goeden honno - Derwen Josef - ei defnyddio fel lloches gan deulu o Iddewon oedd yn cuddio rhag y Natsïaid.
Daeth Derwen Brimmon yn amlwg yn y newyddion pan gafodd llwybr ffordd osgoi'r Drenewydd ei newid er mwyn gwarchod y goeden hynafol yn dilyn ymgyrch gan bobl yr ardal a thu hwnt.
Cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru ar y pryd y byddai'r llwybr yn symud 15 metr o fonyn y goeden er mwyn peidio aflonyddu ar y gwreiddiau. | Mae coeden dderw hynafol wedi dod yn ail yng nghystadleuaeth Coeden Ewropeaidd y Flwyddyn 2017. | 39343993 | [

Lon Snowden told journalists in Moscow he felt "extreme gratitude that my son is safe and secure and he's free". He later met his son, local media say.
Edward Snowden was granted asylum in Russia in August after weeks spent in a transit zone at Moscow airport when the US revoked his travel documents.
The 30-year-old leaked many thousands of US intelligence documents.
The information, published in The Guardian and Washington Post newspapers, revealed extensive internet and phone surveillance by both US and British intelligence.
In the US, Edward Snowden faces charges of theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information and wilful communication of classified intelligence.
Each of the charges carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
Meanwhile, Edward Snowden met four former US security officials in Russia late on Wednesday, it has emerged.
The officials - who now campaign against what they describe as the misuse of state secrecy - said they had presented Mr Snowden with the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence award. The award is given annually by a group of retired CIA officers.
The officials told Russian media Mr Snowden had no regrets about leaking the classified files and was convinced he had done the right thing.
"He's remarkably centred," ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley told state-funded RT television.
'Legal options'
Lon Snowden, arriving at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on Thursday, was met by his son's Russian lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena.
"I'm here to learn more about my son's situation," Mr Snowden told reporters. "My hope is to learn more about his circumstances and his health and to discuss legal options."
"If the opportunity presents itself, I certainly hope that I have the opportunity to see my son," he said in televised remarks.
"I'm not sure that my son will be returning to the US. That's his decision, he's an adult."
Lon Snowden later visited his son, but the place and time of the meeting "are not being been revealed for security reasons", said Russia's state-run TV channels Rossiya 24 and Channel One.
Lon Snowden has in the past praised his son for speaking "the truth" and making great sacrifices, and has spoken of his concern that he would not face a fair trial if he returned to the US.
Edward Snowden accessed many of the documents while working for the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton in Hawaii, where he had been living with his girlfriend.
As the revelations became public, Mr Snowden fled to Hong Kong where, with his consent, The Guardian revealed his identity in June.
To escape US attempts to extradite him, Mr Snowden moved on to Russia where he remained in the transit zone of Sheremetyevo airport until Russia granted him asylum.
Russia's move added to already tense relations with the US. Washington cancelled a bilateral summit in September. | The father of fugitive former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden is in Russia to visit his son. | 24470942 | [

The incident began on Tuesday morning when border agents encountered two men carrying backpacks five miles (8km) east of Sumas, Washington, in the US.
Authorities say agents interrupted an attempt to smuggle a load of MDMA, or ecstasy, from Canada to San Francisco.
Two others were arrested and accused of planning to transport the drugs.
On Tuesday morning, US border agents ordered the two men they encountered near the border to halt, officials said.
One of the men dropped his backpack, fired a weapon at the agents, and ran, according to a criminal complaint filed in US federal court in Washington on Wednesday.
The officers took the other man, identified as Jeffrey Laviolette, into custody immediately.
Canadian and US police searched for the fugitive on foot and by helicopter, putting up road blocks.
Nathan Hall, a Canadian citizen, was arrested by the Abbotsford Police Department in British Columbia early on Wednesday morning.
According to border patrol agents, the backpacks Mr Hall and Mr Laviolette were carrying contained a total of 58lb (26kg) of ecstasy.
Also inside one backpack was a California driver's licence with the name of William Nickerson but a picture of Nathan Hall, the complaint alleges.
Investigators later arrested a Bellingham, Washington woman, Kali Henifin, who they say planned to pick the two men up at the border. They also arrested her boyfriend, Ryan Lambert, who allegedly told officers he was to be paid $11,000 (£7,270) to drive the drugs to San Francisco.
Ms Henifin told agents they had been monitoring police radio communication on a mobile phone when they heard a report of a shooting and left the area, according to the complaint.
The three defendants in US custody face conspiracy as well as drug possession and distribution charges.
The wooded area a few miles east of a highway border crossing is a well-known smuggling route for drugs and firearms, and a spokeswoman for the US attorney for the Western District of Washington told the BBC smuggling prosecutions are "a large part of our practice". | Four people are in custody in the US and Canada after a suspected drug smuggler fired on US border agents and fled, sparking a day-long manhunt. | 22021705 | [

It is the second successive time the area has been at the bottom of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), which is published every four years.
Statisticians rate almost 7,000 areas in Scotland by standards including income, employability and health.
Lower Whitecraigs in East Renfrewshire is classed as the least deprived.
Glasgow has 56 of the 100 most deprived areas, down five on 2012.
Edinburgh has six, up two on four years ago.

The 10 least deprived areas in Scotland:
Renfrewshire Council, which covers the area including Ferguslie Park, said a long-term plan to change the area's fortunes was already under way.
Council leader Mark Macmillan said: "The council has adopted an innovative approach to tackling poverty, recognised as leading the way in Scotland - and the SIMD stats are based on data from last year which does not fully capture the impact of that.
"The figures show the overall picture for Renfrewshire has improved and we believe we are making a difference on the ground.
"In the four years since the last SIMD figures were released, Renfrewshire has seen a 10% real-terms drop in the cash coming our way from Holyrood.
"The deprivation issues affecting Ferguslie and similar areas are long-term and deep-rooted - there are no easy solutions but through our unique approach, we believe we are on the right track."
The Scottish government said the figures showed "why Scotland needs a government committed to tackling deep-seated deprivation, poverty and inequalities".
Communities Secretary Angela Constance said: "This will not be an easy job while we do not have the full levers of power, but I am determined we take on the challenge of making a generational change for those areas that have been in poverty for too long.
"In the face of continuing UK government welfare cuts, an austerity agenda and attempts to take Scotland out of Europe, this will continue to be a long-term challenge."
She added: "We are spending £100m protecting people against the worst effects of welfare reform and every pound spent on mitigation measures is a pound less that can be spent on lifting people out of poverty."
The Scottish Conservatives said the figures should be a "wake-up call" to the SNP government.
Equalities spokeswoman Annie Wells said: "There are many causes of deprivation - poverty, family breakdown, drug and alcohol abuse, low educational standards and poor health and we now need a new approach.
"Powers need to be devolved from the Scottish government to enable cities and city-regions to work more closely together to regenerate and redevelop their local economies."
Scottish Labour's deputy leader Alex Rowley said: "If we are serious about cutting the gap between the richest and the rest we need to fully understand the picture of poverty in Scotland.
"These numbers are an important start - and they show a Scotland which remains too unequal, and further SNP cuts will only make it worse.
"The most deprived communities in Scotland will suffer more because of hundreds of millions of pounds of cuts to schools and local services, whilst our health boards are faced with millions of pounds of cuts because the SNP aren't giving our NHS the resources it needs."
Scottish Greens spokeswoman Alison Johnstone MSP said: "If we're to boost incomes, employment chances and health, we need to see greater ambition from Scottish ministers and local authorities. Yes, the Westminster government's continuing agenda of cuts plays a part, but we cannot let that stop us.
"We can push further on a real Living Wage across our economy, and we can boost people's health by committing to a major programme of housebuilding and energy efficiency measures, along with better public transport and cycling and walking infrastructure."
Analysis by Reevel Alderson, BBC Scotland Home affairs correspondent
The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is published every four years.
It provides the government and local authorities with a considerable amount of information aimed at helping them tackle the problem.
The index breaks Scotland down into 6,976 "datazones", effectively small postcode areas, and ranks levels of deprivation there on seven criteria.
These are: income, employment, health, education, housing, access to services and crime.
Overall scores are then provided for each datazone.
But that is not the full picture.
The statisticians say "deprived" does not just mean "poor" or "low income".
It can also mean people have fewer resources and opportunities, for example in health and education.
One area may score well on educational outcomes for example, but have poor health and access to services.
The Scottish government says this "allows effective analysis for targeting of policies and funding where the aim is to wholly or partly tackle or take account of area concentrations of multiple deprivation." | Ferguslie Park in Paisley has been identified as the area of Scotland with the greatest level of deprivation. | 37230405 | [

Michal Konrad Herba, 36, was held on a European Arrest Warrant at an address in Tividale, West Midlands.
He is the brother of suspect Lukasz Pawel Herba, who is being held by Italian police after Ms Ayling was allegedly kidnapped in Milan.
Ms Ayling, 20, was allegedly abducted and held by a group calling itself "Black Death" for five days.
Michal Herba was arrested in a joint operation by West Midlands Police and East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on 17 August.
It is alleged that kidnappers attempted to sell Ms Ayling online for £230,000.
Ms Ayling, from Coulsdon, south London, arrived in Milan on 10 July for a photo shoot.
There, Italian police say she was attacked by two men, drugged with ketamine and abducted, apparently to be sold in an online auction.
She is believed to have been transported in a bag to an isolated village near Turin, Italy, but was released on July 17.
Ms Ayling's lawyer Francesco Pesce has said she was told she would be sold in the Middle East "for sex".
Speaking after the alleged abduction, Ms Ayling said she feared for her life throughout the "terrifying experience".
"I'm incredibly grateful to the Italian and UK authorities for all they have done to secure my safe release," she said.
Italian police documents revealed that suspect Lukasz Herba said he had got involved in order to raise money for cancer treatment.
A Polish national, who lives in Oldbury in the West Midlands, he told investigators he drove her to the British consulate in Milan and released her before the sale went ahead.
The National Crime Agency and EMSOU said it was providing specialist support to the Italian police as part of the investigation. | The brother of the alleged captor of British model Chloe Ayling has been arrested, police have said. | 40951691 | [

It's a type of battery called lithium-sulphur, which - in theory - could have five times the energy density of the lithium-ion forms in wide use today.
But the prototype developed by a UK-Chinese team overcomes a key hurdle to their commercial development by taking inspiration from the gut.
Details appear in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.
Scientists are tackling the challenge of improving battery technology using a variety of different approaches; this is one of them.
One of the problems hindering the commercial development of lithium-sulphur-based devices has been the degradation of the batteries caused by the loss of active materials within.
To overcome this problem, the researchers developed a lightweight layer with nano-scale structure which resembles the villi - finger-like protrusions which line the small intestine.
In humans, villi are used to absorb the products of digestion and increase the surface area across which this process can take place.
In the new lithium-sulphur battery, a layer of material with a villi-like structure, made from tiny zinc oxide wires, is placed on the surface of one of the battery's electrodes.
This can trap fragments of the active material when they break off, keeping them accessible for ongoing reactions and allowing the material to be reused.
"It's a tiny thing, this layer, but it's important," said study co-author Dr Paul Coxon from the University of Cambridge's department of materials science and metallurgy.
"This gets us a long way through the bottleneck which is preventing the development of better batteries."
The researchers say that, if hurdles to commercial development can be overcome, lithium-sulphur batteries could have five times the energy density of the lithium-ion batteries used in smartphones and other electronics.
But as lithium-sulphur batteries discharge, sulphur molecules transform into chain-like structures known as poly-sulphides.
As the devices undergo several charge-discharge cycles, bits of the poly-sulphide go into the battery's electrolyte (the electrically-conducting solution), so that over time the battery loses active material.
"This is the first time a chemically functional layer with a well-organised nano-architecture has been proposed to trap and reuse the dissolved active materials during battery charging and discharging," said lead author Teng Zhao, a PhD student from Cambridge.
"By taking our inspiration from the natural world, we were able to come up with a solution that we hope will accelerate the development of next-generation batteries."
The device is currently a proof of principle; commercially-available lithium-sulphur batteries are still some years away.
Additionally, while the number of times the battery can be charged and discharged has been improved, it is still not able to go through as many charge cycles as a lithium-ion battery.
But the researchers point out that, given a lithium-sulphur battery does not need to be charged as often as a lithium-ion battery, it may be the case that the increase in energy density cancels out the lower total number of charge-discharge cycles. | Scientists have designed a new prototype battery that mimics the structure of the human intestines. | 37788436 | [

Coronation Street, which celebrates 50 years on the screen in December, picked up a special honorary award.
Doctor Who won best family drama prize - with actress Karen Gillan, who made her debut this year as assistant Amy Pond, on hand to accept the award.
The awards were hosted by Alexander Armstrong at London's Dorchester Hotel.
The BBC 1980s cop drama Ashes To Ashes was named best drama while best new drama went to hit US musical comedy Glee.
Philip Glenister, who played DCI Gene Hunt in Ashes to Ashes, admitted that the show had ended at the right time.
"All good things come to an end. I think that was enough, the danger is you start repeating yourself. There's only so much you can have him talking, shouting and nicking people," he said.
ITV1 show Emmerdale took the titles for best soap actor, Danny Miller, who plays mechanic Aaron Livesy, and best soap newcomer Adam Thomas who plays Adam Barton.
It also collected the prize for best soap storyline over Aaron Livesy's sexual confusion.
Coronation Street stars on the red carpet were both nervous and excited about the prospect of a "live" episode to mark the soap's 50th anniversary.
William Roache, who plays Ken Barlow, said: "We'll get through. We're used to working in short spurts, so to do an hour live is frightening."
Earlier this year it was revealed that key characters will be killed off in a tram crash which occurs in Weatherfield in December.
Anthony Cotton, who plays Sean Tulley, said: "We don't know who's going to be on the receiving end of any of the disasters. I'm hoping it might be back like the days when we didn't know who shot JR."
EastEnders took the top soap prize in a year that saw its first live episode. Lacey Turner won best soap actress for her portrayal of teen mother Stacey Branning.
Later this week the show sees a blaze at the Queen Vic and the departure of landlady Peggy Mitchell, played by Barbara Windsor.
Scott Maslen, who plays Jack Branning, said Windsor leaving was a "massive loss" to the programme.
"Barbara is very small, but a massive personality and she's going to be sorely missed," he said.
Britain's Got Talent triumphed over Dancing On Ice, Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor to land the best TV talent show prize. Assault course show Total Wipeout was named best gameshow.
James Corden and Ruth Jones's BBC series Gavin and Stacey was named best comedy.
Denise Welch was named best actress for Waterloo Road while Jack O'Connell from Skins was best actor.

The film, written by JK Rowling and starring Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, took a total of £15.3m.
It is the third highest opening weekend from the JK Rowling series, behind the two final Harry Potter films.
Warner Bros executive Josh Berger said: "We are thrilled with the huge response from British and Irish audiences."
The film also worked its magic at North American cinemas, taking an estimated $75m (£61m) over the weekend - more than the rest of the US box office top 10 combined.
Harry Potter creator Rowling has planned scripts for a total of five films in the series.
The first instalment is set in New York, and tells the story of a fictional author mentioned in the Potter stories.
Redmayne plays the part of the animal-loving magizoologist Newt Scamander, who visits New York's secret community of witches and wizards.
The film is set 70 years before Harry Potter reads his book at his school, Hogwarts.
It has received broadly positive reviews from critics.
The opening weekend haul in the US and Canada was lower than for any of the Harry Potter films, however.
Elsewhere in the box office charts, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange fell to second with $17.7m (£14.3m), with Trolls third on $17.5m (£14.1m).
Sci-fi movie Arrival, starring Amy Adams, took fourth spot with $11.8m (£9.5m), while the comedy Almost Christmas, starring Danny Glover and Gabrielle Union, rounded out the top five with $7m (£5.7m).

The women were serving as medics at a field hospital in western Aleppo. A mortar struck the hospital on Monday.
A Russian paediatrician seriously wounded in that attack also received the medal.
A fifth Order of Courage went to a Russian colonel wounded elsewhere.
Russia is helping Syrian state forces.
The Kremlin named the five decorated with the Order of Courage for their service in Syria as:
Russia's Tass news agency lists Russia's combat losses so far in the Syria conflict as: 21 military personnel, three helicopters and an Su-24 bomber.
A special forces officer - Senior Lt Alexander Prokhorenko - "died heroically" in March near Palmyra, the Russian government said. He was decorated as a national hero for having called in an air strike against so-called Islamic State (IS) militants, who had surrounded him.
Russia's "anti-terrorism" operation in support of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria began on 30 September 2015.
Russia has mostly carried out intensive air strikes in Syria - including with cruise missiles fired from warships. But Russian special forces and military advisers are also helping Syrian government troops on the ground.
According to a Reuters investigation, Russian private contractors or mercenaries are also fighting in Syria, in support of the official military contingent. | Five Russian soldiers have received the "Order of Courage" from President Vladimir Putin, including a colonel and two women sergeants killed by Syrian rebel shelling of Aleppo. | 38254979 | [

It was originally thought 60 people died when a government-allied militia tried to take over the Brak al-Shati base on Thursday.
The UN-backed government's defence minister and the commander of the militia have both been suspended pending an investigation.
The prime minister's office has denied ordering the attack.
A militia spokesman said they had "liberated the base and destroyed all the forces inside".
The town's mayor said some aircraft had been set ablaze.
Most of the dead were soldiers of the self-proclaimed Libyan National Army (LNA), an alliance in the east of the country which does not recognise the government in the capital, Tripoli. That force has been in control of the airbase since December.
Its spokesman gave the new death toll of 140.
"The soldiers were returning from a military parade. They weren't armed. Most of them were executed," he said.
The UN's envoy to Libya, Martin Kobler, said he was "outraged" by reports of summary executions.
The attack breached an informal truce between the rival forces that was reached earlier this month when the LNA's commander, General Khalifa Haftar, met the UN-backed Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj.
The Tripoli government has set up an investigative committee to present its findings to the prime minister within 15 days. | Reports suggest as many as 140 people, including civilians, may have died in an attack on an airbase in Libya. | 39983806 | [

The Tykes were knocked out of the FA Cup in the first round on Saturday by National League side Altrincham.
They have also lost their last seven league games, and 34-year-old Johnson admitted it had been a "shocking run."

He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I understand people want me gone. If I do stay - and I want to and believe I will - I know what we require."
Johnson continued: "I have to take full responsibility and I do. It's my place to make changes, whether that be changing personnel or rallying the troops.
"We have to put people out there that we believe will play for the badge on the front and not the name on the back."
The former Oldham boss joined Barnsley in February on a three-and-a-half year contract, but the Reds have struggled to make an impact this season.
They have won just four of their 16 matches, leaving them in 22nd place in League One.
"The whole club has to assess the way to move forward because there's too many losing mentality characters around the place," he added.
"The Under-18s rarely get a win, the Under-21s haven't got enough wins and we haven't got enough wins. Something has to have a clean sweep of the mindset and change." | Barnsley manager Lee Johnson has asked for time to change a "losing mentality" at the struggling League One club. | 34766093 | [

The Coronation Street actor is accused of using racist language and being sexist.
The show's bosses have already formally warned him about "offensive" language during chats with R&B singer Alexander O'Neal.
He was also called out over "unacceptable" sexually suggestive comments directed at female housemates.
The 71-year-old's son, Roger, apparently posted an apology on behalf of his son on Facebook.
He said he would like to apologise to anyone "offended by my dad's behaviour".
Separately, Ofcom has received two complaints about the use of an offensive word by Katie Hopkins and four complaints over the incident in which former Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson pulled open Chloe Goodman's dressing gown.
The actor has since been chucked out of the house, also for "wholly unacceptable" behaviour.
The broadcasting watchdog will assess the complaints before deciding whether to investigate.
Channel 5 has not said if it has received new complaints but said it will be making an announcement regarding Ken Morley.

Mr Trump's transition team said he and Tsai Ing-wen noted "close economic, political, and security ties" in a phone call.
The move risks angering China, which sees Taiwan as a breakaway province.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi dismissed the call as a "petty trick" by Taiwan, Chinese state media said.
Mr Trump tweeted on Friday that Ms Tsai had called him to congratulate him on winning the US election.
His team said that the US president-elect had also congratulated Ms Tsai on becoming the president of Taiwan last January.
It is highly unusual for a US president or president-elect to speak to a Taiwanese leader directly.
Following media reports pointing out the risks of angering China, Mr Trump tweeted: "Interesting how the US sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call."
The White House has said Mr Trump's conversation does not signal any change in US policy.
Mr Trump's spokeswoman said he was "well aware" of US policy towards Taiwan.
Read more: What's behind the China-Taiwan divide?
The split between China and Taiwan goes back to 1949, when the Republic of China (ROC) government fled the mainland to Taiwan. After 1945, it held China's seat on the UN Security Council and was, for a while, recognised by many Western nations as the only Chinese government.
But in 1971, the UN switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing and the ROC government was forced out. Only a handful of countries now recognise Taiwan's government.
Washington cut formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan in 1979, expressing its support for Beijing's "One China" concept, which states that Taiwan is part of China.
China has hundreds of missiles pointing towards Taiwan, and has threatened to use force if it seeks independence.
President Tsai, Taiwan's first female leader, led the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to a landslide victory in the January 2016 election.
The DPP has traditionally leaned towards independence from China. President Tsai's administration does not accept the One China policy.

Mr Trump's decision to turn his back on four decades of US protocol on Taiwan and speak directly to a president of Taiwan will stun policymakers in Beijing.
Since his election last month, they have struggled to understand who is advising Donald Trump on Asia and what his China policy will look like.
This move will turn concern into alarm and anger.
Beijing sees Taiwan as a province. Denying it any of the trappings of an independent state is one of the key priorities of Chinese foreign policy.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it opposed any official interaction or military contact between the US and Taiwan, according to the People's Daily, a Communist Party mouthpiece.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the conversation between Mr Trump and Ms Tsai was "just a petty trick by Taiwan" that he believed would not change US policy toward China, state media reported.
"The One China policy is the cornerstone of the healthy development of China-US relations and we hope this political foundation will not be interfered with or damaged," he was quoted as saying.
Despite the cut in formal ties nearly four decades ago, the US has still maintained friendly non-official relations with Taiwan.
Following Mr Trump's telephone conversation, the White House said the US remained firmly committed to its "One China" policy.
"Our fundamental interest is in peaceful and stable cross-strait relations," said Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council. | US President-elect Donald Trump has spoken directly with the president of Taiwan - breaking with US policy set in 1979, when formal relations were cut. | 38191711 | [

The 30-year-old joined Wanderers for a second loan stint in January from Cardiff City and helped the club to promotion from League One.
He was out of contract at Cardiff this summer and moves on a free transfer.
"It's not going to be a shock that I've signed and it's been a long time coming," he told the club website.
"Bolton is my spiritual home at the moment and I'm really looking forward to putting in a lot of hard work and get going."

Peter Halliday accused the councillors who prompted a scrutiny meeting next Tuesday about the Holland Haven-to-Clacton defences of "scaremongering".
Councillor Pierre Oxley, who called in the meeting, said Mr Halliday's accusation was "garbage".
"We're not against the project because we want it to happen," he said.
Mr Oxley claimed the council had been unclear about how much of the beach would be sand, and how much would be shingle.
"We want to know what the mix is," he said.
"Residents are saying they want to be able to lay on the beach and play on it, but if it's all stone or shingle that will be an issue."
The Conservative-run council last week submitted its application to the Environment Agency, which it hopes will contribute £22m towards the project.
If successful, 25 groynes will be installed and the beach will be recharged.
Mr Oxley said the council could have avoided the scrutiny meeting if they had "put all the percentages in the report".
Mr Halliday said: "We have been completely open and transparent throughout the entire process.
"Samples of the sand and shingle mix were available to all councillors at last Tuesday's council meeting and the report clearly stakes the composition of the material being proposed for the beach recharge."
The council will discuss the concerns at the council chamber, Weeley, on Tuesday evening. | A £30m sea defence project in Essex is being jeopardised by questions over the materials being used, the leader of Tendring District Council has said. | 22706324 | [

Portugal international centre-back Alves became Caixinha's first signing as Rangers boss last week.
And McCarthy, who was at Porto when Alves was breaking through, insists he will prove a shrewd capture.
"He'll bring something different to Rangers and beef up their defence, so he's the right defender to bring in," McCarthy told BBC Scotland.
"Bruno has a wealth of experience, he's played at the highest level and he's a winner.
"He'll give them a bit more stability at the back, more bite, he's a leader and he'll organise that defence. His communication won't be a problem because his English is very good.
"Bruno is very composed and calm on the ball so he will help the way the manager wants to play things from the back. Bruno is the perfect fit for what the manager is trying to bring to Rangers right now."
As impressed as McCarthy is by the signing of Alves, he reckons Rangers will have to bring in a few more players of a similar calibre before they will be in a position to seriously challenge Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers' side finished 39 points ahead of the Ibrox outfit as they won the Premiership and went on to secure an unbeaten domestic treble.
"I'm not too sure he'll be able to change that because Celtic are so strong," McCarthy said. "It's going to take more than one Bruno Alves in that Rangers side to take the title from Celtic, but if they sign a couple more players like Bruno, then I think Rangers are in with a shout of giving Celtic a run for their money."
Alves began his career at Porto and had various loan spells before becoming a first-team regular, winning nine major honour with the Dragons.
He joined Zenit Saint Petersburg for £18m in 2010, with whom he won two league titles and the Russian Super Cup before joining Turkish giants Fenerbahce for £4.5m in 2013.
There he won one league title and the Turkish Super Cup and then in 2016 he moved to Italian Serie A side Cagliari, from whom he joined Rangers.
Part of the Portugal squad that won the European Championships in 2016, Alves has 89 caps for his national side, and McCarthy is convinced the defender has a lot more football left in him, despite being 35 years old.
"He's a fitness fanatic and looks after himself exceptionally well so that will keep him going for a few years," he added. "The experience that he'll bring, Rangers really need it from what I've seen last season."
And the South African has assured Rangers fans that while Alves is the type of robust defender they need, he will not be a regular in the notebooks of Scotland's referees.
"Everybody has a bit of temper in him but Bruno will choose his moments wisely, he's a senior player in that squad and he has to be an example," McCarthy added.
"He can't do silly things that leave the team hanging because they will depend on his experience and to guide the young players. I don't think he'll end up in hot water too many times but he'll bring some fight to that Rangers defence." | Benni McCarthy says his former Porto team-mate Bruno Alves is the perfect fit for Pedro Caixinha's Rangers. | 40143695 | [

The 32-year-old knows Coleman's side will be tough to beat having improved hugely since two defeats by Serbia in the last World Cup qualifying campaign.
The Chelsea defender, who has led Serbia to the top of Group D, says they face a difficult match ahead of them.
"This is the hardest game since we started qualification," he said.
Ivanovic scored in the 6-1 thrashing of Wales in 2014 World Cup qualifying at Novi Sad, in September 2012 - the heaviest defeat in Coleman's reign.
A year later he was part of the side which won 3-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium - the last time Wales lost a home qualifier.
Set to earn his 91st cap for his country on Saturday, Ivanovic believes the scars of the past will provide extra motivation for Wales.
"We know that and we have to be careful with that. We have to play much much better than last time to get something from the game because Wales is a completely different team from that moment," he continued.
"Those kind of games happen may be once in 100 years. It's very difficult to win against one team three times in a row even when the opponent is not that strong and you cannot say that about Wales."
Serbia go into the game topping the group as they edge the Republic of Ireland on goal difference while Wales are two points adrift in third.
The visitors will be without the suspended Manchester City defender Aleksander Kolarov, who is suspended after collecting two bookings in the group.
Wales will welcome the return of Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey for the first time in this campaign after his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Ivanovic believes they will be stronger for his inclusion, but inevitably the major threat will be Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.
"I think he is the biggest name and biggest star in the Wales team. But I think Wales as a group have improved," Ivanovic said.
"The team have played a couple of years together to bring results and will, of course, be very difficult to stop Gareth Bale and the rest of the guys."
"Most important for us is we have a lot of new things - new coach, new shape of the team. We are still building. We have improved a lot from last summer and we are going in the right direction.
"But the way to Russia is so long we have to be careful and we have to play every single game like a final. We know this is our hardest game so far." | Branislav Ivanovic says Wales will want to avenge their previous two defeats against Serbia when they meet in Saturday's World Cup qualifier. | 37957431 | [

The Electoral Reform Society attacked both sides of the referendum campaign, saying people felt "ill-informed" by the "dire" debate.
The society said the impact of political leaders had been "minimal".
It called for a "root and branch" review of the way referendums are run.
Recommendations made by the society in its report include having a public body intervene when "misleading" claims are made by campaigns, reviewing broadcasters' role and publishing a "rule book" to govern conduct by campaigns.
They also propose that future referendums have a guaranteed six month official campaign, and citizenship education be extended in schools with the voting age reduced to 16.
The UK voted to leave the EU on 23 June by 51.9% to 48.1%.
The then prime minister David Cameron and the government backed a Remain vote, while the Leave campaign was fronted by ex-mayor of London Boris Johnson, who is now foreign secretary.
The Electoral Reform Society, which campaigns for "democratic reform", said its polling showed Mr Cameron and other political "big beasts" had failed to convince the public.
When asked about eight prominent politicians, most people said they had had no effect on the way they voted.
The only high-profile figures who, according to the poll, persuaded more voters of their position than drove them to vote the other way were Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and US presidential candidate Donald Trump, who backed Brexit.
"Above all, what these numbers tell us is that people had by and large lost faith in established political figures as opinion-leaders - except where those figures might be said to be kicking against the establishment," the society said.
It said voters had viewed both sides as increasingly negative, and many "simply did not trust" their key claims. These included Remain saying households would be on average £4,300 a year worse off outside the EU and Leave claiming an extra £350m a week could be spent on the NHS.
The government's controversial mail-shot to every household in the UK had "little effect on people's levels of informedness", it said, and towards the end of the campaign nearly half of voters thought politicians were "mostly telling lies".
The society said the EU debate was in "stark contrast" to the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence, which it said had featured a "vibrant, well-informed, grassroots conversation that left a lasting legacy of on-going public participation in politics and public life".
The society's chief executive Katie Ghose said: "This report shows without a shadow of a doubt just how dire the EU referendum debate really was.
"There were glaring democratic deficiencies in the run-up to the vote, with the public feeling totally ill-informed. Both sides were viewed as highly negative by voters, while the top-down, personality-based nature of the debate failed to address major policies and issues, leaving the public in the dark."
On the plus side, the society said it had heard "time and again" from people who felt the referendum was the first time their vote "had truly counted".
But it said there were "serious questions" to be asked about the place of referendums in politics, including how they sit alongside the parliamentary system and how to ensure a "high quality" debate.
Ms Ghose added: "Now that the dust is starting to settle after the EU referendum, we need a complete rethink about the role of referendums in the UK. They are becoming more common, but the piecemeal nature of the how, when and why they're done means we could simply end up jumping from referendum to referendum at the whim of politicians."
BMG Research polled over 1,000 UK-based adults every month from February until the end of the campaign for the Electoral Reform Society's report.
The Cabinet Office said: "The British people spoke decisively at the referendum, with one of the highest turnouts of any vote seen in a UK-wide poll in a generation.
"They voted to leave the European Union - and this government will deliver on the people's verdict." | The EU referendum campaign was dogged by "glaring democratic deficiencies" with voters turned off by big name politicians and negative campaigning, a report says. | 37238641 | [

Inger Shah, a 38-year-old single parent, stood at the front of the terrace and was one of 96 fans fatally injured at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final.
While her son, Daniel, also attended the match, he stood with friends at the back of the Leppings Lane terrace.
Both Daniel and his sister Becky, 17, were taken into care after the tragedy.
The new inquests focused on the final moments of Mrs Shah and her friend Marian McCabe, 21, who also died in the crush. Both were members of the London branch of the Liverpool Supporters Club.
They travelled to Sheffield together on 15 April 1989 to watch their team play against Nottingham Forest.
Christina Lambert QC, who represents the coroner, said: "Following the crush, Daniel tried to find his mother. He was taken to a police station and was later taken to the gymnasium with [two of his friends] Philip Goodman and Stephen Oates.
"Daniel then picked his mother out from a Polaroid photograph and Stephen went to formally identify Daniel's mum."
Naomi Ditchfield, who was with Ms McCabe in the same pen at the 1988 semi-final - which featured the same teams playing at the same stadium - said in a statement: "The pen was so full that at one point during the game the gate burst open with the pressure of the crowd and Marian fell forwards through the gate and out on to the pitch."
She said Ms McCabe was then quickly ushered back into the pen by a police officer standing on the track perimeter and the gate closed.
A year later, she told her friend she wanted to move from the same area. "I said to Marian: 'I'm not standing here, do you remember what happened last year?'
"I said to her, 'I'm moving up here, are you coming with us?' Both Inger and Marian wanted to stay where they were."
By 14:50 BST in her new location, it was "uncomfortably full" in the pen.
Her statement said: "I saw a policeman stood in front of the pen and people were shouting to him that it was getting packed in there. We were asking him for help and he ignored us."
Another fan and a police officer described how Martin Malone, who was standing behind Ms McCabe, appeared to be trying to protect her from the crush by bracing his arms against the fence either side of her and pushing backwards. He eventually passed out.
Witnesses say both women were "lifeless" before police stopped the match at 15:06.
The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, have been adjourned and will resume on Tuesday when evidence about Ms McCabe and Mrs Shah will conclude.

The four are now in police custody, after a crime spree that included raids on hotels, small shops and amusement arcades, Italian media report.
On one occasion they allegedly raced off in a Porsche Cayenne after pointing a pistol in the driver's face.
The gang reportedly boasted of their crimes in video clips on social media.
They stole cash, smartphones, tablets and even on one occasion a youth's luxury shoes worth €530 (£465; $601), according to police. The crimes took place in Milan's Quarto Oggiaro district.
Two of the young suspects are Italians aged 14 and 16, the others are of foreign origin, aged 15 and 17.
They came from broken homes and are thought to have been controlled by an Egyptian man, aged 23. He is under arrest on a drugs charge and was convicted for previous offences.
Police found that the youths - dubbed a "baby gang" in Italian media - possessed several firearms, including a pump-action shotgun.
Italy's Rai news website said investigators "stressed that the baby gang used brutal violence on their victims in the style of A Clockwork Orange".
One victim, a young man attacked in the street, was pistol-whipped and needed 10 stitches for a deep wound.
The 1971 film A Clockwork Orange, directed by Stanley Kubrick, was a box-office hit. Based on a futuristic novel by Anthony Burgess, it portrayed a gang of juvenile delinquents who made a cult of gratuitous violence. | Italian police say four teenagers accused of 12 robberies in Milan gloried in violence like the notorious gang in the film A Clockwork Orange. | 40499534 | [

Howe, 37, has overseen three of the club's six promotions since he was first appointed manager in 2008-09.
The new deal is believed to take Howe through until 2020. He had two-and-a-half years left on his previous contract with the Cherries.
"We've been in discussions since gaining promotion. I'm very pleased to have committed my future to here," he told the club's website.
Following a short spell as manager of Burnley, Howe returned to manage the club at the end of 2012, leading them to promotions from League One and the Championship within three seasons.
"I'm delighted Eddie has committed his future to the club," owner Maxim Demin said. | Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has signed an extension to his contract. | 34543002 | [

The group that did it has revealed scripts from upcoming movies as well as the salaries of some of the biggest stars and personal emails between employees.
Some details are harmless, others have triggered FBI investigations and put jobs at risk.
A group calling itself Guardians of Peace claimed responsibility although their reasons and demands remain unclear.
Sony's new film The Interview, a comedy that features a plot to assassinate North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, is the reason for all this chaos.
North Korea denied being involved in the hack attack but has described it as a "righteous deed" that may have been carried out by its "supporters and sympathisers".
Sony Pictures has contacted some US news outlets in an attempt to limit the damage.
They've asked various media sites not to publish what has been leaked by the group.
So let's look at what we've found out so far:
The Interview was meant to be Sony's big Christmas release but is now at the centre of a terror threat.
The hackers, calling themselves Guardians Of Peace, says US cinemas which show the film can expect a "bitter fate".
But America's department for homeland security said there "was no credible intelligence to indicate an active plot against movie theatres."
As a result, the New York premiere of the film was cancelled and James Franco and Seth Rogen stopped doing publicity for the movie.
Sony Pictures has now cancelled the planned release of the film. It says the majority of cinemas had decided not to show the comedy.
So what do we know so far?
George Clooney's personal emails revealed he was personally stung by the critical reaction to his film The Monuments Men.
It's claimed he was completely mortified by the poor take-up of the movie, which he co-wrote.
In an email to the co-chairman of Sony's Motion Pictures Amy Pascal, Clooney spoke about not being able to sleep over the reviews of the film.
It's also claimed he asked for "protection from all the reviews" after its initial release.
Women sometimes get paid less than men at Sony.
Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams didn't get the same fee as their male co-stars in American Hustle, according to another leak.
The Daily Beast went through thousands of emails, but to summarise, the male stars received 9% of back-end compensation, which is essentially an amount based on the success of the movie in the box office, not an upfront fee.
J-Law, apparently, picked up just 7%.
Emails reveal Sony executives made joking references to black-themed films that President Barack Obama might like.
The exchanges, reported by Buzzfeed, were between Amy Pascal (yes, remember her name - we'll be mentioning her again) and top producer Scott Rudin.
"What should I ask the president at this stupid Jeffrey breakfast?" Ms Pascal said to Mr Rudin.
It's then reported that she speculated about whether President Obama might like Django Unchained, a movie about a former slave.
Mr Rudin suggested 12 Years a Slave might be preferred.
They have both since apologised.
Comments about Barack Obama weren't the only ones flying between this duo, according to the leaks.
Mr Rudin reportedly labelled Angelina Jolie a "minimally talented spoilt brat".
It's claimed the comment was in reference to the actress being upset about director David Fincher working on the film Jobs, about the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs, when Jolie wanted Fincher to direct her in Cleopatra.
Jolie later came face-to-face with chairman Pascal at a party where photographers pictured them sharing an uncomfortable stare.
It's fairly well-known that Leonardo DiCaprio was originally supposed to play Steve Jobs but later passed on the upcoming Aaron Sorkin movie, but what isn't common knowledge is Ms Pascal and a film producer's apparent reaction to the news.
"Horrible behaviour," producer Mark Gordon wrote. "Actually despicable," Pascal corrected him in emails leaked by the Daily Beast.
Sony declined to comment on this story.
It's thought Sony executives also made fun of Willow and Jaden Smith - that's despite his success for Sony with the Karate Kid remake and dad Will's long-standing relationship with the studio.
An email from Tom Rothman, head of TriStar productions, to, yes you guessed it, Pascal, saw the exec forwarding a link to the Smith kids' out-there interview with The New York Times, along with the note: "1. Read this. 2. they r home schooled: don't let this family date your movies!!!"
An early version of the script for the new James Bond film has been stolen by hackers.
Spectre's producers confirmed the screenplay was taken as part of an attack on Sony Pictures in November.
In a statement on the film's official website, Eon Productions said they were concerned the script may at some point be published online.
Spectre is due to be released in November 2015.
It's Channing Tatum to Amy Pascal's rescue.
Another email for her, but fear not, it is everything Tatum and caps lock fans could want.
"F YOU TED !!!! SECOND OF ALLLL TIMMMMME" he writes, after 22 Jump Street's opening weekend box office numbers were released.
The film beat Ted, Seth McFarlane's foul-mouthed bear, which they had been competing with.
"COME ON JUMPSTREETERS WE GOT CATE BLANCHETT WIT DIS BOX OFFICE".
"AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAH" he continues for 14,553 characters.

Grant Clarke was left in urine-soaked sheets and had his emergency buzzer taken away from him, the Nursing and Midwifery Council tribunal heard.
The NHS trust responsible said it "remains appalled" by the events and apologised to Mr Clarke and his family.
But his partner Binny Moore criticised the ruling, which allows two of the three nurses to continue working.
Secret camera
Ms Moore said: "It sends a message to staff that choose to abuse patients in their care that it is fine, it's just a slap on the wrist - you can carry on doing what you are doing."
In May 2012, 43-year-old Mr Clarke, of West Kingsdown, Kent, suffered a devastating brain haemorrhage, leaving him paralysed down his left side, doubly incontinent and unable to swallow or communicate.
He was admitted to the West Kent Neuro Rehabilitation unit, run by the Kent & Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust.
But Ms Moore was so worried about him, she set up a secret camera next to his bed to monitor his treatment.
Footage showing Mr Clarke's mistreatment was subsequently broadcast by the BBC.
It showed his feeding tube being cleaned with a ballpoint pen and his emergency buzzer being taken away.
'Doesn't care'
The Nursing and Midwifery Council suspended staff nurse Vanessa Kennard from practice for 12 months.
In its last communication with Ms Kennard, the tribunal heard she was not interested in the case and "doesn't care what happens".
The case against her on 10 counts, including the removal of Mr Clarke's buzzer, continued in her absence.
Deputy ward manager Marie Banwell received a caution order for 18 months. She had admitted 13 charges but denied nine others.
Ward manager Sarah Coulter admitted 13 charges but denied four others. She has been given a caution order for 12 months.
The order will not restrict Ms Banwell or Ms Coulter from practice.
The trust said both two had undergone extensive training and performance management and had shown genuine remorse for what happened.
Mr Clarke's family said they would now pursue a case for civil damages. | Three nurses have been found guilty of professional misconduct for mistreating a man at a Kent brain injury unit. | 33389476 | [

Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak was handed over to a delegation of tribal leaders.
He was meant to be released last week as part of a deal agreed with President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi to end a violent stand-off in the capital, Sanaa.
Mr Hadi and his government have since offered their resignations, saying they could not continue in their posts under such pressure from the rebels.
Their decision came after the Houthis seized the presidential palace complex and shelled the president's private home.
In a televised speech following the release of Mr Hadi's chief of staff, rebel leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi dismissed the president's resignation as a "manoeuvre".
He said Yemeni political parties, with UN support, had been holding consultations.
"We are seeking a peaceful transfer of power on the basis of partnership," he was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying.
The resolutions of the National Dialogue Conference (NDC), held after an uprising forced longtime President Ali Abdullah Saleh from power, and the peace deal signed by Mr Hadi after the rebels overran Sanaa in September, would be the basis for any agreement, he added.
"Let everyone go towards co-operation instead of clashing, arguing and wrestling."
A week ago, Mr Houthi accused the president and those around him of failing to implement political deals which he said should have ushered in a new era in Yemen.
He listed as his main demand the shake-up of the commission tasked with writing a review of a new constitution to ensure more representation for his group.
The rebels have rejected a draft of the charter that would create a federal state of six regions, even though the plan was a recommendation of the NDC, which they backed.
They seized Mr Bin Mubarak on 17 January to stop him attending a meeting to discuss the draft, saying they had become aware of "irregularities" in the text. | Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen have freed a senior presidential aide who they abducted 10 days ago. | 31009354 | [

The 26-year-old British number one is taking a short break before preparing for the US Open in August.
"I've got a massive amount of room to grow in all areas of my game to be quite honest," she told BBC Sport.
Australia-born Konta said she is proud to represent Great Britain after her nationality was questioned.
Konta became the first British woman since Virginia Wade 39 years earlier to reach the Wimbledon last four.
But she is determined to make further progress towards her goals of becoming world number one and winning Grand Slams.
"I know there's a lot of work to be done between now and achieving such things," she said.
"I definitely feel I can physically improve. I'd like to get stronger, move even better on the court - maximise my movement."
Konta, who was ranked 150 at the start of 2015, often speaks of the mental "process" she relies upon during her rise up the rankings and believes experience will improve her tactical game.
"I'm constantly looking to be more mentally strong and technically sound. I'm trying to leave no stone unturned," she said.
Konta said she was proud to represent Great Britain after her nationality was questioned by BBC presenter John Humphrys on Radio 4's Today programme.
The veteran interviewer said: "We talk about you as being British, but you were born in Hungary, Australian citizenship, and I seem to remember that the Australian high commissioner, when you won the quarter-final, said: 'Great to see an Aussie win', and we were saying: 'Great to see a Brit win' - so, what are you?"
She laughed before replying: "I was actually born in Australia to Hungarian parents, but I have lived half my life here now, almost. So, I'm a British citizen, and I'm incredibly proud to represent Great Britain. I have done so officially since 2012."
Konta, who came to the UK aged 14, later told BBC Sport of her bond with Britain.
"This is my home, where I consider to be from and where I come back to. This is the place I miss when I am away," she said.
"People are entitled to their opinion, but this is the only place I've truly represented and will continue to do so.
"I'm a British citizen and representing Great Britain at the 2016 Olympics was one of the proudest moments of my career."
Some newspaper reports during Wimbledon referenced the fact that five years ago Konta did not know the words to the national anthem.
"Seeing as I've sung the national anthem at both the Olympics and many Fed Cup ties, I do know the words to my national anthem, yes," she said.

Konta reached the Wimbledon semi-finals with a thrilling defeat of Romanian second seed Simona Halep which was watched by a peak of 7.4 million viewers, the BBC's best TV figures for the 2017 tournament.
"It's a massive compliment and a brilliant thing for tennis. It's great that so many people got invested and involved in my match and were living the moment with me," she said.
"I've definitely noticed that I've been recognised on the street more but it's always positive. People have only said good things and congratulated me on my run and said I've inspired them or their children."
She went out with a 6-4 6-2 defeat by five-time champion Venus Williams.
"I digested the match quite quickly and understood the things I could have done better, and acknowledge how well she played," said Konta.
A higher profile has led to greater analysis of Konta by tennis pundits - but she tries to keep her focus.
"I employ the team around me to bring the most out of myself, and leave it to them to listen to lot of external things," she said.
"I limit the amount I open my ears to because it can be a little bit overwhelming and confusing. Within my career, the simpler I've kept it, the better. I don't listen too much to what's going on outside."
Away from the court, Konta has been enjoying her new-found love of baking, although admits it brought her to tears during Wimbledon.
"It was very random, I forgot to buy some chocolate chips (for muffins) in the supermarket and I only realised when I got home. I think I was a bit tired that day," she said.
"I'm a massive fan of food. I like exploring new restaurants and cuisines. I've only just started baking so the only thing I can make is muffins - I've been making blueberry ones, chocolate and banana, white chocolate and raspberry."
She also lists live music and the cinema as two other interests in her downtime.
"I'm going to see U2 soon and I'm very excited about that, and then I'm going to see Celine Dion with my mum," she said.
Konta is next due on court at the Rogers Cup, which starts in Toronto on 7 August, having chosen not to defend her title at the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford, California.
Another tilt at a Grand Slam title will begin on 28 August at the US Open, where Konta has reached the fourth round for the past two years.
"I only finished Wimbledon on Thursday and haven't played since. I'm resting for the rest of this week and start training again on Monday. This is the only chance in the year when I can take more than two or three days off at one time," she said.

"We play a lot of tennis in the season and the season is very long. So to be able to find those moments where you can remove yourself from it and take care of your body goes towards ensuring the longevity and you being able to play many years.
"I need to remind myself to do that because I am a bit of a busybody. I like lists and ticking things off lists, so I need to make sure I do chill out and relax and try to get a day on the sofa here and there."
Longer term she hopes to play again for Britain in the Fed Cup team event after this year's controversy which led to Romania captain Ilie Nastase being suspended by the International Tennis Federation after swearing at the umpire and abusing Konta and her captain Anne Keothavong.
"It is not something that anyone should experience. It's not something I think about or look to revisit. My life has moved on from it," she said.
"One of the biggest honours you get as an athlete is to represent your country, especially in a team event. I would definitely love to keep participating."

The 85 children had to eat peanut protein every day - initially in small doses, but ramped up during the study.
The findings, published in the Lancet, suggest 84% of allergic children could eat the equivalent of five peanuts a day after six months.
Experts have warned that the therapy is not yet ready for widespread use.
Peanuts are the most common cause of fatal allergic reactions to food.
There is no treatment so the only option for patients is to avoid them completely, leading to a lifetime of checking every food label before a meal.
The trial, at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, tried to train the children's immune systems to tolerate peanut protein.
Every day they were given a peanut protein powder - starting off on a dose equivalent to one 70th of a peanut.
The theory was that patients started at the extremely low dose, well below the threshold for an allergic response.
Once a fortnight the dose was increased while the children were in hospital, in case there was any reaction, and then they continued taking the higher dose at home.
The majority of patients learned to tolerate the peanut.
Claire Rooney describes the daily anxieties of having a daughter with multiple food allergies.
'Niamh's allergies have changed our lives'
Lena Barden, 11, from Histon in Cambridgeshire, said: "It meant a trip to the hospital every two weeks.
"A year later I could eat five whole peanuts with no reaction at all.
"The trial has been an experience and adventure that has changed my life and I've had so much fun, but I still hate peanuts!"
One of the researchers, Dr Andrew Clark, told the BBC: "It really transformed their lives dramatically; this really comes across during the trial.
"It's a potential treatment and the next step is to make it available to patients, but there will be significant costs in providing the treatment - in the specialist centres and staff and producing the peanut to a sufficiently high standard."
Fellow researcher Dr Pamela Ewan added: "This large study is the first of its kind in the world to have had such a positive outcome, and is an important advance in peanut allergy research."
But she said further studies would be needed and that people should not try this on their own as this "should only be done by medical professionals in specialist settings".
The research has been broadly welcomed by other researchers in the field, but some concerns about how any therapy could be introduced have been raised.
Prof Gideon Lack, who is running a peanut allergy trial at the Evelina Children's Hospital in London, told the BBC: "This is a really important research step in trying to improve our management of peanut allergy, but is not yet ready for use in clinical practice.
"We need a proper risk assessment needs to be done to ensure we will not make life more dangerous for these children.
He warned that 60% of people with a peanut allergy were also allergic to other nuts so a carefree lifestyle would rarely be an option.
Prof Barry Kay, from the department of allergy and clinical immunology at Imperial College London, said: "The real issues that still remain include how long the results will last, and whether the positive effects might lead affected individuals to have a false sense of security.
"Another issue to address is whether there will be long term side-effects of repeated peanut exposure even where full allergic reaction does not occur, such as inflammation of the oesophagus.
"So, this study shows encouraging results that add to the current literature, but more studies are needed to pin down these issues before the current advice to peanut allergy sufferers, which is to avoid eating peanuts, is changed."
Maureen Jenkins, director of clinical services at Allergy UK, said: "The fantastic results of this study exceed expectation.
"Peanut allergy is a particularly frightening food allergy, causing constant anxiety of a reaction from peanut traces.
"This is a major step forward in the global quest to manage it."
Prof Simon Murch, an allergy expert at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "This is clearly a promising paper but it certainly isn't a cure.
"Nevertheless this study does point towards a promising new direction of therapy and once further testing has been carried out, and techniques refined, it may prove to be a therapy with widespread use in hospitals in future."
But he added: " This is not something that should be undertaken at home, or indeed outside specialist centres." | Doctors say a potential treatment for peanut allergy has transformed the lives of children taking part in a large clinical trial. | 25917272 | [

The labour peer, who died in December, was accused of sex offences against children - which his family deny.
The hearings, part of the Goddard Inquiry into child sexual abuse, were due to start in September but have been put back because of other inquiries.
Leicestershire Police and the IPCC are investigating people allegedly linked to the case.
The Goddard Inquiry, chaired by Dame Lowell Goddard, set to be the biggest public inquiry in British history, held a preliminary hearing earlier for its investigation into the former Leicester MP, one of 13 cases it has announced so far.
On Monday, the IPCC announced 11 people are to be investigated over their handling of allegations against the peer.
Announcing the delay Ben Emmerson QC, counsel to the inquiry, said there are "good reasons to reconsider on timing and structure of the hearings."
He said the Leicestershire force and the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) will soon interview complainants and witnesses who are also scheduled to give evidence.
Postponement was "only responsible" in the circumstances, meaning the public hearings will now commence on 7 March 2017 and conclude by the end of May.
Mr Emmerson revealed 33 alleged victims of Lord Janner have now been granted core participant status in the inquiry, meaning they have the right to make statements, see documents and seek permission to ask questions.
Seven organisations and institutions, including the Labour Party, have previously been given the same status, which has also been granted to two individual police officers, including current Derbyshire chief constable Mick Creedon, who investigated Lord Janner for the Leicestershire force in the early 1990s.
The inquiry has not received an application for core participant status from Lord Janner's family, but Mr Emmerson said there was "ongoing correspondence with their legal representatives".
There have been suggestions from the family, Mr Emmerson said, that it would be "unfair" for the inquiry to make findings of fact because Lord Janner is unable to defend himself and alleged victims will not be subject to cross-examination.
He said that in some cases it will be necessary to make findings of fact but only if it was fair to do based on the evidence.
On the issue of cross-examination, Mr Emmerson said the inquiry is an inquisitorial process rather an adversarial one, but that he, as counsel, could still nevertheless explore the credibility of witnesses.
In a statement, the peer's lawyer said: "Lord Janner was an honourable man, entirely innocent and never convicted of any crime."
The hearing, at the Royal Courts of Justice, was also told the Goddard Inquiry as a whole has so far received disclosure of 35,000 documents and is receiving up to 100 communications from the public each week. | Public hearings into allegations of abuse relating to Lord Janner have been delayed by six months. | 36895750 | [

Finney, who earned 76 caps for his country, is considered one of the greatest players England ever produced.
"The likes of Bill Shankly and Tommy Docherty idolised him," said former England defender Jimmy Armfield.
Docherty, who played with Finney, said: "He was the best player I've ever seen, alongside Lionel Messi."
"I watch a lot of Barcelona and when I watch Messi, I close my eyes and can see Tom. I'm serious when I say that Messi is the Tom Finney of today.
"Just like Finney, Messi is always getting fouled, but doesn't complain and just gets up and gets on with the game."
Finney played in three World Cups between 1950 and 1958, and is joint sixth on England's all-time scoring list with 30 goals, alongside Nat Lofthouse and Alan Shearer.
"I was lucky enough to have met him when I was on loan at Preston and he was not just an England great but a true gentleman," said former England captain David Beckham.
Away from the international spotlight, Finney's humble nature and reputation as one-club man endeared him to supporters everywhere.
Preston born, he spent his entire 14-year career with his home-town club and wore their famous white strip over 400 times.
"The two words always went together - Preston and Finney," added BBC Radio 5 live pundit Armfield.
"I remember taking the FA team out to the Far East. We were out in Hong Kong and somebody asked me where I lived. I said Blackpool and they asked how do you get to Blackpool? I said, you get a train and change at Preston. As soon as I said Preston, he said 'ah, Tom Finney'.
"When he finished playing, he did some reporting for a Sunday newspaper and he used to cover matches. I was playing for England at Cardiff against Wales and I got injured.
"I remember [former England manager] Walter Winterbottom asking me, 'how are you going to get home?' I was hobbling and, just at that moment, Tom knocked on the door of the dressing room, came in and asked me if I'd like him to drop me off.
"It hit me then. He didn't have to do that but he'd been a player and I'd played against him. No more than that."
"Preston has lost its favourite son, a man who gave Prestonians pride in the place they come from. It was as though a little of the esteem and respect in which Finney was held rubbed off on all of them.
"My dad always insisted that he knew him. Everyone of his generation did and so I took his words lightly. One day I was walking through the centre of town with my old man when I noticed Finney walking towards us. He looked up as our paths crossed and, with what I am sure to this day was a hint of recognition, looked my dad square in the face and wished him good morning.
"Sir Tom, you will be missed."
Read Paul Fletcher's tribute
Finney scored 187 league goals for North End and was comfortable occupying any position across the forward line.
Although team silverware eluded him as he finished as a league runner-up in 1953 and 1958, as well as a losing FA Cup finalist in 1954, he was twice named Football Writers' Player of the Year.
"If Tom was injured and couldn't play, Preston would delay naming the team until after 2pm on a Saturday because the gates would halve if he wasn't on the teamsheet," added Docherty, who himself played over 300 times for the club.
"If Gareth Bale is worth £100m, then Sir Tom would be worth far in excess of that in today's market. In fact, there is not enough money in football to buy him."
To mark his passing, Preston's players wore black armbands and shirts with the name 'Finney' on the back - as well as their respective squad numbers - for their home draw with Leyton Orient on Saturday.
"In my time as Preston manager, he used to come in on a Friday morning and he would sit there and spend the whole morning signing autographs and books," said Craig Brown, who managed the club between 2002 and 2004.
"I know he cared for his late wife Elsie when she was ill and he diligently wouldn't bring in help - he wanted to do it all himself. This was a man of the utmost calibre and dignity."
Howard Kendall, who would later manage Everton, joined Preston as a schoolboy shortly after Finney's retirement in 1960 and recalls guidance offered to him by the club legend.
"He was so important to the Preston team that he played despite carrying injuries," said Kendall, who in 1964 became the youngest player to play in a Wembley FA Cup final at the age of 17.
"One very important piece of advice he gave me was to never to do the same. He said 'it is not the number of games you play in a season that counts, it is the number of seasons you play'.
"Bill Shankly once said that when it came to comparing Sir Tom with Sir Stanley Matthews, he would choose Sir Tom. When 'Shanks' said that, you had to listen."
Finney was knighted in 1998 and, according to Armfield, continued to love the game.
Sir Bobby Charlton, England's record goalscorer, describes Finney's contribution to English football as "immeasurable", but many former players reflect on his demeanour off the pitch as a defining characteristic.
Former England midfielder Rodney Marsh, who played for Fulham, QPR and Manchester City during the 1960s and 70s, said Finney represented a different era.
"He came from a time of gentleman footballers where they were always properly dressed, wore a jacket and tie and acted accordingly," he said.
"They would go to the games with the fans, and we'll never see the like of that again.
"I've always had the highest possible respect and esteem for Tom Finney. It was like being in the company of greatness." | Tributes have been paid to former Preston North End and England winger Tom Finney, following his death at the age of 91. | 26201636 | [

The 25-year-old full-back moved to New Zealand Warriors for a world-record fee last year after helping Wigan to a league and Challenge Cup double.
"It's somewhere where I'd never say I'd never want to go back to, so at some point in the future it's very possible," Tomkins said.
"I'll never say never. I'll always be a Wigan fan even if I'm not playing there. I love the people, the town."
After announcing his move to the NRL, Tomkins said he could not picture himself playing for another Super League club should he return to England.
After his spell in rugby union, Tomkins' brother Joel returned to Warriors this season from Saracens.
"As soon as Joel signed they were saying 'oh that must mean you're coming back', but for the time being I'm happy playing at the (New Zealand) Warriors," Tomkins told BBC Radio Manchester's Rugby League Extra.
"Watching it as a fan, I'm waiting on results and seeing where it puts Wigan in the league - I've been much more interested in Super League than I have been watching the NRL.
"When you're playing you're concentrating so much on your own game and who you're playing you're not to bothered about other results."
Tomkins scored 13 tries in his 21 appearances in his first season at this new club but they finished outside the play-off places in 11th. | Sam Tomkins says he is still open to a return to Wigan Warriors in the future. | 29375160 | [

"I wouldn't say I'm tough...just lucky", said Reg Foggerdy who disappeared last month while hunting a feral camel in Western Australia.
Police trackers found him sitting under a tree on 12 October, around 15km (9 miles) from where he went missing.
A diabetic who recently had a heart attack, he said he had given up hope.
"I've heard of people dying after three days with no water, I don't know why I survived six days," he told 7News.
"There was a piece of me that wanted to lie there and pass away. I was thinking of my family who would see me laying there."
Wearing only a T-shirt, shorts, a cap and flip-flops, Mr Foggerdy became disorientated in the fierce heat of the desert after chasing the camel.
He said he poked a stick into an ants nest and ate the insects for nutrition, a tactic he said he learnt from British survival expert Bear Grylls.
"They tasted quite good. On the first day I had about 12 and on the second day about 18. If they want to call me ant man I don't care," he said.
The retired miner said he spotted police search helicopters several times, mustered all his energy to wave his hat at the sky, but rescuers could not see him.
In the end, a local Aboriginal man provided police with the vital clue - Mr Foggerdy's slipper print.
After coming so close to death, he says that he has a new lease on life.
But asked whether he would return to the site of his ordeal he replied: "I might go back and look for me gun". | A 62-year-old Australian man, who says he survived without water by eating ants while lost in the Outback for six days, has spoken of his ordeal. | 34654812 | [

The death of Virgil Runnels, which was his real name, was announced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
His long and glittering career, which began in the late 1960s, earned him a place in the WWE Hall of Fame.
"Runnels became a hero to fans around the world thanks to his work ethic, his impassioned interviews and his indomitable spirit," said WWE.
The statement went on to describe him as a "creative visionary who helped shape the landscape of WWE" long after his retirement from the ring.
Tributes poured in for the Texan-born fighter, who won several world titles and became famous during the height of wrestling's popularity in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Saddened to hear the passing of Dusty Rhodes. Legend, teacher, mentor, friend ... Love you Dream," said professional wrestler Paul Levesque, also known as Triple H.
"My mentor," tweeted Ric Flair. "Much love to your family and more respect than can ever be measured. Love you Dream."
A WWE spokesman declined to give a cause of death or any details on where he died. | One of wrestling's most colourful stars, Dusty Rhodes, the self-styled "American Dream", has died aged 69. | 33104825 | [

Matthew Williams was found attacking Cerys Yemm, 22, at the Sirhowy Arms Hotel in Argoed on 6 November 2014.
He was Tasered four times by police and arrested but later died.
The Newport hearing was told he had previously made death and violence threats to his ex-girlfriend, probation service staff and a police officer.
PC Jake Silver, who deals with prolific offenders through Gwent Police's Integrated Offender Management section, said Williams' former partner received seven letters from him while he was locked up.
They contained threats of violence to her as well as threats towards a serving Detective Constable and the officer's wife and his children.
In the letters, Williams described sending a car "up in smoke" and described one person as a "dead man walking".
He described intending to serve his entire sentence - to negate the need to be on licence when released - so he could go "under the radar" when he was let out.
PC Silver said he believed Williams was "very capable of carrying out the threats" but said the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was not enough evidence to peruse the matter as Williams' ex girlfriend was not willing to be a witness.
PC Silver agreed there was a "lack of urgency" surrounding the letters because of an assumption Williams would remain in prison due to a pending court case, which later collapsed.
The inquest continues. | A man who killed woman at a hostel had sent letters threatening to kill others while in prison, an inquest has heard. | 39382643 | [

Between 2012 and 2015, cases of syphilis increased by 76%, from 3,001 to 5,288, while gonorrhoea infections rose by 53%, from 26,880 to 41,193, Public Health England data reveals.
The rise was notable among men who have sex with men.
At the same time, rates of genital warts decreased, thanks to a vaccination campaign.
Rates of sexually transmitted infections as a group also went down slightly, totalling 434,456. But experts say this could be because fewer people came forward for testing.
Chlamydia was the most commonly diagnosed STI, accounting for nearly half of the cases diagnosed in 2015.
Young people are routinely offered chlamydia screening, but only 13% of young men and 32% of young women were tested in 2015.
The large fall in genital warts - a 7% drop - was seen in young women, and experts say this was probably because of the national human papilloma virus vaccination programme.
All girls aged 12 to 13 are offered the jab as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.
The FPA charity's chief executive, Natika Halil, said boys should be offered the vaccine too, which is something ministers are considering.
Genevieve Edwards, of Marie Stopes UK, said the statistics should "set alarm bells ringing" about the availability of sexual health services for young people and men who have sex with men.
"We have to keep a focus on preventing sexual ill health, and providing prompt diagnosis and treatment to those who need it," she added.
The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV said the continued rise of gonorrhoea was extremely disturbing, given the further spread of drug-resistant infections.
Dr Gwenda Hughes, head of STI surveillance at PHE, said: "We need to do more to raise awareness about STIs and how they can be prevented, especially the effectiveness of using condoms.
"We recommend that anyone having sex with a new or casual partner uses condoms and tests regularly for HIV and STIs." | Syphilis and gonorrhoea sexually transmitted infections are continuing to rise in England, new figures show. | 36711903 | [

A total of 387 people were arrested between February 2016 and February 2017 - up from 255 the previous year.
Meanwhile more than half of cabin crew who responded to a survey said they had witnessed disruptive drunken passenger behaviour at UK airports.
The Home Office is "considering" calls for tougher rules on alcohol.
The arrest figures obtained by Panorama came from 18 out of the 20 police forces with a major airport in their area.
Trade body Airlines UK said it should be made illegal for people to drink their own alcohol on board a plane.
A total of 19,000 of the Unite union's cabin crew members were surveyed and 4,000 responded, with one in five saying they had suffered physical abuse.
A former cabin crew manager with Virgin, Ally Murphy, quit her job last October after 14 years and told Panorama: "People just see us as barmaids in the sky.
"They would touch your breasts, or they'd touch your bum or your legs. I've had hands going up my skirt before."
In July 2016 the aviation industry introduced a voluntary code of conduct on disruptive passengers, which most of the big airlines and airports signed up to.
The code's advice included asking retailers to warn passengers not to consume duty-free purchases on the plane, while staff are also asked not to sell alcohol to passengers who appear drunk.
Panorama found more than a quarter of cabin crew surveyed were unaware of the code of practice and, of those who had heard of it, only 23% thought it was working.
One anonymous crew member told Panorama: "The code of conduct isn't working… We're seeing these incidents on a daily, a weekly, a monthly basis. It's the alcohol mainly in the duty free that is the significant problem."
Sources: Airlines UK* and UK Travel Retail Forum**
Manchester Airport is one of the signatories but when Panorama's undercover reporter asked at World Duty Free whether she could open alcohol bought at a duty-free shop to consume on the plane, she was told "officially probably not, unofficially I think you'll get away with it". Another shop in the airport did give the right advice.
World Duty Free said it was committed to dealing with the issue and that it displays "clear advisory notices at till points, on till receipts and on carrier bags that remind customers that alcohol purchases cannot be opened until their final destination is reached".
Airlines UK, which represents carriers such as Virgin, British Airways and EasyJet, wants the government to amend the law to make consumption of a passenger's own alcohol on board an aircraft a criminal offence.
Airlines can limit the amount of alcohol sold to passengers on board flights.
Low-cost airline Jet2 has already banned alcohol sales on flights before 08:00 and managing director Phil Ward agreed further action was needed.
"I think they [airports] could do more. I think the retailers could do more as well.
"Two litre steins of beer in bars, mixes and miniatures in duty free shops, which can only be there for one reason - you know, they're items that are not sold on the high street.
"We can't allow it not to change."
A House of Lords committee report earlier this year called for tougher rules on the sale of alcohol at airports.
Committee chair Baroness McIntosh of Pickering said: "We didn't hear one shred of evidence to show the voluntary code was either working now or had any possible vestige of success in working any time soon."
The Home Office said it was considering the report's recommendations, which include revoking the airports' exemption from the Licensing Act, "and will respond in due course".
Karen Dee, chief executive of the Airport Operators Association, said: "I don't accept that the airports don't sell alcohol responsibly. The sale of alcohol per se is not a problem. It's the misuse of it and drinking to excess and then behaving badly."
She said they were working with retailers and staff to make sure they understand the rules. | Arrests of passengers suspected of being drunk at UK airports and on flights have risen by 50% in a year, a Panorama investigation has revealed. | 40877229 | [

Mole Valley Council will get £21m from the developer Barratt Homes if the proposals go ahead.
Nearly 2,800 people have signed a petition against the sale of the allotments. Campaigners say schools and doctors surgeries are "already full".
Council leader Chris Townsend said the plans would provide more housing and financial support for council services.
There are more than 100 plots at the Barnett Wood Lane allotments.
The authority has said more than 100 allotment holders would get new plots and is suggesting a split site with allotments on both the Leatherhead and Ashtead sides of the M25.
Linda Weller, from the Leatherhead Poors' Allotment Society, who organised the petition, said the council had tried to address most of the issues the society had raised.
"We do still have issues with what we're being offered, " she said.
"We need time to go and assess both sites but we're slightly relieved that we're not going to the awful site that they originally dumped us on."
She said wildlife, including at least one badger sett, would be disturbed.
Allotment holder David Wells said local schools and doctors surgeries were already "rammed full" and that the roads were "a nightmare at the moment".
He added: "As a resident for over 60 years I've looked out at the allotments and now to be faced with 500 houses and the development prior to that, well it's not good news."
The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) Surrey said it would continue to campaign to protect green belt land and open spaces.
"We are extremely disappointed by Mole Valley Council's determination to dispose of a vital community asset and to allow building on adjacent green belt fields," the spokesman said.
"[The council's] approach to the Barnett Wood Lane site indicates a failure to think strategically about the role of Mole Valley's countryside and green belt.
"It also shows a woeful disregard for the needs of local people." | Five hundred homes could be built on allotments and green belt land next to the Leatherhead bypass in Surrey. | 23751750 | [

Figures indicate that 15% of people were very concerned while 37% were fairly concerned, about their spending.
The average cost in the area is expected to be £497.23, the highest after North Yorkshire at £508.82.
The figures also suggest 13% of people could resort to borrowing, more than twice the level in other areas.
Across the county, North Derbyshire and Lincolnshire, 50% of people surveyed for the BBC said they were concerned about their festive spending.
Concern is highest amongst those aged 18-34 and those with children under 18.
Jane Symonds, money expert at the Money Advice Service, said: "Christmas can be an expensive time of year, but it's important to know that you don't have to live beyond your means to make it a fun time. A big financial hangover is the last thing anyone wants to start the new year with.
"Planning ahead by looking carefully at costs will help you to take control of your spending and reduce some of the pressure. It's best to avoid credit if you can, but if you need to borrow there are more options if you think ahead."
Across all the areas surveyed, of those planning to borrow 68% said they would use their credit card, 18% plan to ask friends and family for help, 18% will use their overdraft, 6% will go to a pay day lender, 6% will take out a loan, and 2% say they will go to a credit union.
On average people said they expected to borrow about £180.
On average, men said they were likely to borrow £214.76 while women said they expected to borrow about £146.36.
More than half of all borrowers said it would take them between a few weeks to a year to repay their debt.
Kevin Peachey, personal finance reporter, BBC News
Financial advisers say it is never too late to draw up a budget for your Christmas spending.
Those who get into trouble often forget to factor in those little extras that add to the festive bill.
So, as well as presents, food and travel, advisers urge families not to ignore the cost of replacing decorations, calling relatives and even taking the children to Santa's grotto.
They suggest shopping around on the internet for all these things to get the best deal.
Those who turn to credit may be deferring the pain, but missing repayments in the new year could start or continue a debt spiral that may be difficult to pull out of.
Instead, advisers say, keep things under control this year, and start saving now to bring some Christmas 2015 cheer to your family and your finances.
Market research agency ComRes interviewed 1,270 people across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, of which 501 were in West Yorkshire, 305 were in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire, 335 in North Yorkshire, 179 in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire and 189 in Lincolnshire.
The online survey was carried out for BBC Radio Sheffield between 27 November and 1 December. | More than half of people in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire are worried about the cost of Christmas, a survey suggests. | 30325415 | [

The Cambridge University Library has housed the Codex Zacynthius since 1984.
It was offered first refusal to buy the New Testament manuscript and had until the end of August to find the funds.
The fate of the historical text had been in doubt after the Bible Society in Swindon, which owned it for almost 200 years, decided to sell it off to raise money.
The society, which was presented with the 176-page volume in 1821, wanted to shore up funds for a new £1m visitor centre inside a deconsecrated church in North Wales.
Dr Rowan Williams, the former archbishop of Canterbury who supported the Cambridge University Library's fundraising campaign, said securing the text would allow further study.
The bible features an early seventh century script which has been partially scraped away and written over to make way for a 13th century entry.
It is regarded as an important text in studying the development of the New Testament.
"The discovery and identification of the under-text represents a fascinating detective story," Dr Williams said.
"By securing the manuscript, we hope that multispectral imaging techniques will enable scholars to recover fully the hidden text." | Scholars have hit their target of raising £1.1m to secure the future of an early Biblical manuscript. | 29170020 | [

The Communist Party and military-run newspapers, such as the People's Daily and the Liberation Army Daily, are mostly carrying Xinhua news agency's round-up on the first day of the trial tucked away on the inside pages and make no mention of the case on their front pages.
"The accused, Bo Xilai, gave a statement on the bribery charges and denied the charges... The defendants and their counsel fully expressed their views. The defendant Bo Xilai was emotionally stable and his physical condition was normal during the hearing. The courtroom was orderly," says the terse Xinhua report without mentioning Mr Bo's defiant statements.
Official online media websites, however, attacked Mr Bo's personal character and his rejection of bribery charges after the first day of the trial closed.
"One never expected that a corrupt element could be so composed when standing in the dock and that a criminal could be so glib when faced with various crimes... Faced with the solemnity of the court and the law and faced with irrefutable facts and evidence of criminal acts, Bo Xilai was not overawed in the slightest and had no repentance whatsoever!" says a commentary on the state-run China Central Television website.
"Obviously, the legitimate rights of the defendant were fully guaranteed, and fairness, impartiality and transparency were a major feature of the trial. However, Bo's attitude towards the facts was to display cunningness and to deny them by every means possible," said one commentary in Communist Party-affiliated website Guangming Net.
The mainland media are carrying fewer updates today from the Jinan court's official microblog, except video testimony from Mr Bo's estranged wife Gu Kailai about alleged payments received by the Bo family from tycoon Xu Ming.
Over in Hong Kong, Beijing-backed newspapers praise the trial as a sign of the Communist Party's resolve to stamp out corruption, but independent press feels the party may find it tough to prosecute Mr Bo.
"The most sensitive and most watched case is being conducted with a most public and open attitude. The degree of openness of the Bo Xilai case has exceeded the expectations of the outside world," comments the Ta Kung Pao.
"The overseas media are interpreting the Bo Xilai case as a Chinese Communist Party power struggle which is indeed deliberately misleading and even bears ulterior motives," says the Wen Wei Po, another Hong Kong daily with close links to Beijing.
Meanwhile, the independent Hong Kong press feel the trial ended up becoming the disgraced politician's "individual show".
"Unexpectedly, Bo Xilai retracted his testimony in court, and his rebuttal left the prosecution speechless. The entire trial was like Bo Xilai's individual show. The authorities face the embarrassment of an irredeemable situation on the Bo case... The authorities' investigation into Bo Xilai seems to lack sufficient evidence, and big gaps exist in their logic," concludes the Oriental Daily News.
"The shrewd and astute Bo is well aware that this is his last appearance in public and also his last public occasion to make statements and make his voice heard through the media. So despite his haggard appearance, he is as mentally agile as ever," notes the Hong Kong Economic Journal.
Other Hong Kong newspapers question whether Mr Bo's defiance in court signals a looming power struggle within the ruling Communist Party.
"Regardless of whether this is a power struggle or a factional struggle, it was never going to be easy to prove Bo Xilai's corruption charges, but now aren't they riding a tiger and unable to get off? Will it be even harder to quell the political turmoil?.. Obviously, the public trial of the Bo case is a political show," says the Apple Daily .

The 25-year-old from Plymouth, who also dived at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and 2009 World Championship, has quit after a
"I just feel like my body is telling me to give up," the 10m platform diver told BBC South West Sport.
"I'm 25-years-old and knowing there's another four years until Rio, I just don't think my body will hold out."
My dream, even as a little girl, was to make an Olympic Games. Not making London was heartbreaking and my dreams were shattered
Graddon, who won a bronze medal at the 2009 European Diving Championship in Turin, cites 2008 as the best year of her career as a diver.
She said: "I'd come back from injury and illness and that year I was British champion and qualified for the Olympic place for Great Britain, although I didn't make Beijing."
Graddon, who trained alongside Tom Daley and Tonia Couch in Plymouth, says her biggest regret is never being selected for an Olympics, after also missing out on a place at London 2012.
"My dream, even as a little girl, was to make an Olympic Games," she added.
"Not making Beijing was sad and I was gutted not to make it, but I thought 'head down, London's in four years'.
"But not making London was heartbreaking and my dreams were shattered.
"I knew I probably wouldn't make Rio, so it was horrible and the worst feeling not getting what I wanted, but that's sport." | European bronze-medal winning diver Brooke Graddon has announced her retirement from the sport. | 19729161 | [

He said he was to blame for the team's season, in which they narrowly avoided Premier League relegation on Sunday.
Asked of his intentions, he said: "To win something. By the way, I shan't be selling until I do. Not at any price."
Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer told Match of the Day that Ashley must "stop selling their best players".
Shearer added: "There was a time when they didn't sign anyone for 18 months, which is not acceptable.
"I know the city and I know the football club and I haven't got a clue what Mike Ashley is going to do. Actions speak louder than words.
"Fans are going to games out of habit, not out of hope. That has to change."
Interim manager John Carver said he hoped to remain in charge.
"From day one I've wanted this job and I still want it," he said.
After the 2-0 win over West Ham, Carver added: "The fact Mike's saying he wants to win something is fantastic.
"We've seen how good our fans are, we've seen what kind of performances we put in altogether and we all have to be together.
"If Mike's come forward then fair play to him because he wants this club to be united. It's a big, big summer for this club, we have to invest and hopefully we will."
Sunday's victory at St James' Park, which guaranteed the Magpies safety, was their first in 11 league games. They experienced a dramatic slump after ex-boss Alan Pardew left the club to manage Crystal Palace when Newcastle were 10th in the table, at the start of 2015.
"I didn't envisage us being in this position at Christmas," added Ashley, in the pre-match interview with Sky Sports.
Earlier on Sunday, former Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan told Sportsweek that Ashley "runs the club from another planet".
But the Newcastle owner on Sunday promised to "continue the policy of investing in the football club", arguing that they are on a "very sound financial footing" after a fourth consecutive year of making a profit.
Ashley added: "We may have the cart, financially, but we now need to bolt the horse on, and we are going to."
A number of fans stayed behind after the match in a protest planned by the AshleyOut.com group. It follows other demonstrations against the owner in recent weeks, which included a fans' boycott of the home game against Tottenham in April.
Meanwhile, Carver said he was proud of how his side reacted to the pressure of the occasion on Sunday at St James' Park. Second-half goals from Moussa Sissoko and Jonas Gutierrez saw the Magpies finish the season in 15th. Hull were relegated following their 0-0 draw against Manchester United.
"I think the adrenalin is still pumping, but I have to say I think we dealt with our emotions and the game very well," he said.
"In the first half there weren't too many chances and we knew it might take the last five minutes of the game before we could break them down.
"Sam [West Ham boss Allardyce] put his strongest team out and they came and were resolute, but it was all about what we were going to do and I think we put in a performance that was worthy of the victory." | Newcastle owner Mike Ashley said he will be staying at the club until they win a trophy or qualify for the Champions League. | 32866700 | [

The constitutional court will now decide whether he has violated the constitution and can be dismissed.
The BBC's Martin Vogl in the capital, Antananarivo, says the late night vote came as a surprise to many.
Mr Rajaonarimampianina has been in office for 16 months and it was hoped his election would end years of political unrest on the island nation.
Madagascar suffered five years of political turmoil beginning in 2009 when Andry Rajoelina ousted Marc Ravalomanana from power.
The coup left the country isolated in the international community and deprived of foreign aid.
Ahead of the parliamentary vote, the US embassy in Antananarivo urged the MPs to put the stability of the country first. | Parliamentarians in Madagascar have voted to impeach President Hery Rajaonarimampianina. | 32897313 | [

Lady Mary Soames, who died last year at 91, was the the last survivor of Sir Winston's five children.
All but two of the paintings she owned have been allocated to the National Trust and will remain at Chartwell, Churchill's family home in Kent.
The others will stay in the Houses of Parliament and the Churchill War Rooms.
Lady Soames wanted Coast Scene near Cannes (1935) to stay in the Commons and View From a Bathing Hut at the Miami Surf Club, 1946 at the war rooms off Whitehall in central London.
The paintings have been accepted in lieu of inheritance tax.
Churchill produced more than 500 artworks, many of them at Chartwell, and continued his hobby well into his 80s.
Lady Soames previously wrote that "painting literally grabbed" her father in 1915, when he was 41, "thereafter playing an increasing and abiding role in his life, renewing the source of his great inner strength and enabling him to face storms, ride out depressions and rise above the tough passages in his political life".
The 50th anniversary of the World War Two leader's death in 1965 was commemorated in January.
As well as 37 of Churchill's works, the collection accepted for the nation also includes a painting by Sir John Lavery of the politician standing at his easel and the Aly Khan Gold Cup, which was won by Churchill's horse, High Hat.
Culture Minister Ed Vaizey said: "It is fitting that in the 50th year since his death these paintings by the great war-time leader Sir Winston Churchill will be displayed in three very significant locations that helped shape his life and gives us an opportunity to appreciate the artistic talent of a man who was a colossal figure in world politics."
Chairman of the Acceptance in Lieu panel, Edward Harley, said Churchill remained one of the UK's greatest figures.
"His paintings let us see the man in the round and not just as a great politician," he said. | A collection of 37 paintings by Sir Winston Churchill have been given to the nation in lieu of £9,404,990 tax, following his daughter's death. | 31816849 | [

Speaking about the 1948 contract Nye Bevan, the founding father of the NHS, offered consultants, he said he had "stuffed their mouths with gold".
That gold was the ability to continue private practice - something senior doctors have carefully guarded since.
Down the years, several ministers have had a look at the issue, but concluded it was simply too tricky to tackle.
One former health secretary told me they thought consultants would simply walk away en masse if the government got tough.
There has been some movement. In fact, the current contract had a little nibble at restricting private practice, by insisting that any doctor doing fewer than 11 shifts (of four hours each) a week offers any extra work to the NHS first before accepting private work.
It has probably had some impact, but only a little. A full-time contract is 10 shifts, so it ties them to only an extra four hours a week before they are free to work in the private sector.
But after years of shying away from the issue, the government looks like it wants to tackle this head on. It is not being explicit in coming out and saying it wants curbs on private practice.
But the implications of the move by NHS England to publish earnings is clear: there is a suspicion that some doctors are raking it in and that affects their motivation when it comes to the NHS - both in terms of working extra hours for the health service and how productive they really want to be - and by publishing the details there is a hope it will make doctors think twice about how much they do.
Longer NHS waiting lists means more private work as either people will pay to go private or, and this is more common, the NHS has to pay for patients to be seen privately.
The private market is worth £4.6bn a year, according to market analysts Laing Buisson, with a quarter coming via NHS referrals.
At a time when money is tight and ministers want to get more seven-day services, tackling this is clearly an attractive proposition.
Although with the consultant contract currently in the process of being renegotiated (talks have slowed because of the junior doctor dispute), expect consultants to be hopping mad that their pay is once again in the headlines.
It promises to be the mother of all battles.
But if the register of private work is published, what will it show? What is known about the extent of private work is pretty sketchy.
A British Medical Association survey from 2009 suggested about half of doctors in the UK (it's not limited to England) did private work - but this was a fall from six in 10 when it was done several years before that.
Of those that did private work, a quarter earn under £10,000 a year, while one in six made in excess of £100,000.
This included private hospital work, alongside earnings from other sources such as providing advice to pharmaceutical companies and assessments for insurance companies.
But it must be said this was a self-selecting poll - doctors were not compelled to take part, so it is hard to gauge whether it was truly representative.
There are plenty of specialities where private work is not so easy to come by.
But there are others - orthopaedic surgery, urology, ophthalmology and anaesthetics to name just four - where there is plenty of work. It means for some, earnings can be extremely high.
Average basic salary for NHS work is £89,000 in England. But this ignores a number of ways doctors can make much more.
There are bonuses - called clinical excellence awards - which can be worth tens of thousands of pounds a year. Once awarded, they are difficult to take away.
And then there is overtime work. For some, this can be pretty lucrative - a BBC investigation earlier this year found one made £375,000 in a year.
Now that figure is very revealing. That consultant was thought to be on a special deal as they worked in an area where there is a shortage of consultants.
It meant the NHS was prepared to pay them close to what they could have got on the private market. All in all, it suggests there are consultants out there earning in excess of £500,000.

Official numbers showed revenues down 32.2% for the period to 16.4bn Macau patacas ($2.05bn; £1.36bn).
Expectations were for a fall in revenues of just over 31%.
Macau is the world's largest gaming centre - ahead of Las Vegas - and the only place in China where casinos are allowed.
A special administrative region of China, Macau's economy relies heavily on gambling and shopping - especially by big spending tourists from the mainland.
But Chinese President Xi Jinping's campaign against corruption and luxury spending, which began in December 2012, has seen officials and others from the mainland more wary of gaming and spending in the city.
China's Communist Party prohibits officials from gambling, but until the 2012 crackdown, officials had reportedly visited Macau's casinos to gamble and spend.
China has emphasised Macau's need to diversify its economy away from gambling. The city's build up of new resorts and hotels is expected to help drive general tourism, however, analysts have said Macau will be hard-pressed to build up non-gaming streams of revenue in the near future.
Official numbers released on Monday showed the city's economy shrank by 24.2% year-on-year during three months to September, the city's Statistics and Census Service said.
"Economic contraction in the third quarter was attributable to the continuous decline in exports of services, of which exports of gaming services decreased by 37.4% year-on-year and exports of other tourism services dropped by 15.3%," it added.
Once a Portuguese colony, gaming has taken place in Macau for more than 300 years. For many years it was referred to as the Monte Carlo of the Orient. The city was returned to Chinese rule in 1999. | Revenue in Macau's casinos fell by more than a third in November from a year earlier as China's corruption crackdown continued to drive away some punters. | 34971770 | [

The Welsh side lost their Challenge Cup crown after a 1-0 overtime loss to Nottingham Panthers in Sunday's final.
The Devils have also been leapfrogged by Sheffield Steelers at the top of the Elite League after three consecutive defeats, but Bowns remains confident of silverware.
"We are the best team in the league, so why not?," he said.
"If we play like we can, stick to these systems [then] we are going to do it.
"There is not one player in this league that I would swap for anyone in our dressing room," added Bowns, who turned away an impressive 47 of the 48 shots he faced on Sunday.
Andrew Lord's side can still win three trophies this season - the Devils are second in the Elite League and have a game in hand on the Steelers, who are two points ahead with four games to play before the play-offs begin.
The Welsh side, who have five games left, are also top of the Erhardt Conference.
Despite Evan Mosey's late winner for Nottingham at the Sheffield Arena, which came just two days after the Panthers had beaten the Devils 6-1 in the league, Bowns is backing his side to return to their best.
"The commitment is there, the effort levels are there," Bowns told BBC Wales Sport.
"Maybe we need to be a little more clinical in the defensive zone and offensive zone, but that is about it.
"If everyone just does what they can, then we are not going to have a problem."
Devils player-coach Lord says he was "very proud" of his side's performance, but admits they struggled in overtime, as the Panthers looked fresher with the teams playing four-on-four during sudden-death.
"[I] should have had the boys better prepared for the four-on-four, we are not used to that format. They kind of just hemmed us in.
"For whatever reason, we have lost our legs a little bit the last 10 days, two weeks.
"Maybe I need to look at our training a little bit, evaluate that, because we need to get our legs back." | Cardiff Devils are still the best team in ice hockey's Elite League, says netminder Ben Bowns. | 35741537 | [

Victory in Toulouse on Monday would secure Wales' spot in the knockout phase, in their first major international tournament since 1958.
"This team has got the potential to go on and on. They've got everything to look forward to," said Coleman.
"We are in a fantastic position. Nevertheless, there's more to come."
Wales, who beat Slovakia 2-1 in their opening game before losing 2-1 to England, could still qualify for the last 16 with a draw against Russia.
Coleman added: "Whilst everybody will look at this game as the be all and end all, whether we progress or not it's not the end of the journey for this team.
"Our players have done unbelievably well. It's been an eye-opener and hard, of course. It's really intense but it's been enjoyable."
Coleman said that, however far Wales progress in France, the players will "learn from this tournament".
He said: "This group, this team, they can't lose because whenever we go home, whenever that time is, we have gained so much experience.
"Normally we get to a certain level and in June we are playing a friendly game - we are playing the Netherlands, who are already qualified and who are planning for a tournament.
"Now we are at a tournament ourselves and this group gets all the praise and accolades they deserve. And it is not over for us."
Joe Allen has welcomed Wales' Euro 2016 day of destiny by saying the squad are determined to have no regrets over the tournament.
"You don't want it to be the be all and end all in the sense that you take your foot off the pedal at any time in the future," said Allen.
"You want to make sure that this is something that we get to experience again, but playing at this stage as a footballer is the highest level - and we certainly want to make sure that there are no regrets on our part.
"I think coming off the pitch no matter what happens, we're confident we'll do the business.
"We want to make sure that we throw absolutely everything at it.
"We're confident that we can get ourselves into the knock-out rounds and, after that, who knows what could happen?"
Allen says Wales will shut out what is happening in the England game with Slovakia as qualification is in their own hands.
The two matches will be played simultaneously as Group B draws to a conclusion.
And the Liverpool midfielder promises a positive approach against Russian opponents who need to win to keep their own last 16 hopes alive.
"It's a difficult one," he said. "It's one where people think if you set up just to cling on to that point it can often be the downfall of teams.
"That won't be our approach, but it is one where we want to make sure we are more in control of how we go about our performance.
"Performing well is first and foremost what we want to do, because we know when the focus is on doing that then the results come with it."
Wales assistant boss Osian Roberts confirmed Wales have a fully-fit squad to choose from for the Russia game.

The BBC's James Landale says he is going voluntarily at the age of 52, while he still has time to pursue a second career in business.
His departure, which was discussed with David Cameron over the festive break, came as a surprise after 25 years on the front bench for the Conservatives.
He will be replaced by Lord Hill of Oareford, a former John Major aide, who entered the Lords in 2010.
Prime Minister David Cameron praised Lord Strathclyde's contribution, describing him as a "brilliant public servant".
Speaking at the launch of the coalition government's mid-term review, Mr Cameron said he was "sad to see him go" as he "knew the House of Lords inside out" and had done a great job on behalf of both the government and his party.
The then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher gave Lord Strathclyde his first job as a whip in the 1980s and he has been on the front bench in the Lords ever since.
He has served six party leaders, including three prime ministers.
The BBC's James Landale says his friends insist there is absolutely no political reason for his departure. It is just, they say, that he feels he has done his time.
The peer has been the Tory leader in the Lords for 14 years since his predecessor Lord Cranborne was sacked by William Hague in 1998 for "running in like an ill-trained spaniel" and negotiating secretly with Tony Blair over Lords' reform.
By James LandaleDeputy political editor
He was also a minister of state at the Department of Trade and Industry during the 1990s and his various junior ministerial jobs covered tourism, Scotland, the environment, and consumer affairs.
In his resignation letter to Mr Cameron, Lord Strathclyde says: "When I was invited to join the government by Margaret Thatcher in 1988, I never believed it was a career for life. I didn't expect it would consume me for as long as it has or that I would one day lead the Lords and sit in a cabinet.
"The Lords is an extraordinary and vigorous place, but recently I've been considering a change of direction.
"I started my working life in the private sector and at some stage always hoped to return, I would now like to do so... I do not see a political career as the cap of everything and would like, while there is still time, to take up other threads of my life and other interests."
He added: "I always promised myself that when I did leave I would do so when I could make a smooth handover to a strong successor. Whatever my feelings on the matter, reform of the Lords is effectively over and now is a good time to manage that handover."
In his letter of reply, the PM said that "after a quarter of a century on the front bench I entirely understand your desire to pursue other interests".
He added: "You have been an outstanding Leader of the Lords. Under your leadership the Lords has enhanced its role as our second legislative chamber. Your assured handling of business of the House and your understanding of its traditions and practices have earned you the deep respect of Peers across the House.
"You have ensured the House has continued to play its unique role in the governance of the United Kingdom with great distinction."
Lord Strathclyde will be replaced by education minister Lord Hill of Oareford, who was most recently in the news after Mr Cameron apparently missed his attempt to resign during a meeting in the most recent cabinet reshuffle.
Lord Hill - the same age as his predecessor - faces a difficult job in which he will have to guide legislation through an Upper House where tensions have been on the rise.
The coalition has suffered more than 50 defeats since 2010 in the Lords and Lord Strathclyde raised eyebrows in July when he accused veteran Labour peer Lord Barnett of "gross discourtesy".
There were also disputes in the Lords before Christmas over his handling of a change in business which avoided a vote in the Lords on plans to change parliamentary boundaries - a vote which the Conservatives were thought likely to lose.
Lord Hill, who was political secretary to John Major in the 1990s and a special adviser to Ken Clarke in the 1980s, was made a peer and became an education minister after the coalition came to power in May 2010. | Lord Strathclyde has resigned from his cabinet role as Leader of the Lords. | 20932061 | [

Cerys Yemm, 22, was killed by Matthew Williams, 34, in November 2014 at the Sirhowy Arms in Argoed, Caerphilly county.
Williams was Tasered by police and later died.
PC Kelda Griffiths, who was the second officer into the bedroom, said Williams "didn't seem human".
She told the Newport inquest: "It was like something you see on TV, not something you expect to see in real life."
The inquest was told PC Griffiths knew Williams had a history of drug abuse, mental health problems and of previous violence towards the police.
She said she had refused to enter the hostel without back-up.
"I just believed that maybe he had staged an incident because it was so unreal, as that he wanted to get so many police officers there and attack the police," she said.
"It was such an unbelievable, surreal call. He had murdered someone and I have no doubts that he didn't like police and we would have been next - definitely."
Lawyers for Ms Yemm's mother quizzed the officer over the wait to enter the Sirhowy Arms, telling her: "Mrs Yemm is tormented by the idea that your delayed attendance may have resulted in her daughter's death."
But answering questions from Gwent Police's legal team, she confirmed she had been instructed to meet another Taser-armed officer before entering the hostel, which she said led to a wait of "no more than a minute".
The officer said Ms Yemm was dead when she entered Williams' room - where the killer had already been Tasered.
"As I stepped into the room I recall seeing Cerys's face, which was horrific," said PC Griffiths.
Despite being hit with the stun-gun, PC Griffiths said Williams continued to struggle.
"He was lashing round and banging his head on the floor. There was no stopping him. He had unbelievable strength," she said.
She told the inquest fellow officer Alan Cotterell used his Taser again after urging Williams to calm down.
"Even with four of us there he was lashing around," said PC Griffiths.
She said PC Cotterell fired his Taser into Williams' back or side.
The inquest on Thursday heard another officer say Williams was Tasered "four times".
PC Griffiths said after each time the weapon was used, Williams would stop struggling, but added: "After a few seconds he would start struggling and biting."
She said after the final Taser shot "he did start to go calm", was put in a recovery position and monitored.
"He was breathing," she added.
The inquest continues. | A police officer thought she was going to die as she confronted a "demonic" ex-convict who had brutally murdered a young woman, an inquest has heard. | 39304638 | [

A senior executive at the Wall Street giant, Daniel Pinto, said that "hundreds" of staff may move to Dublin, Frankfurt and Luxembourg.
However, it is understood that the number of people who would be relocated involves between 500 and 1,000 jobs.
Earlier, Standard Chartered bank said it was in talks with German regulators about making Frankfurt its Europe base.
However, Standard said the impact on UK staff would be "minimal".
Several global banks have announced in recent weeks that they will move some jobs out of London as part of contingency plans for when the UK leaves the EU.
Speaking to Bloomberg News, Mr Pinto, head of investment banking at JP Morgan, said: "We are going to use the three banks we already have in Europe as the anchors for our operations.
"We will have to move hundreds of people in the short term to be ready for day one, when negotiations finish, and then we will look at the longer-term numbers."
JP Morgan's main offices in continental Europe are in Dublin, Frankfurt and Luxembourg, but it also has operations in Paris, Milan, Madrid and Stockholm.
JP Morgan is widely reported to be in talks to buy a Dublin office big enough to hold more than 1,000 workers.
Since the Brexit referendum last year, European cities have lined up to try and woo financial services companies to move operations there to continue serving European clients.
Standard Chartered chairman Jose Vinals said on Wednesday: "We are looking at setting up a subsidiary in the EU to ensure we are prepared.
"The choice of Frankfurt is very natural as we have a branch there and we do euro clearing there."
However, a spokeswoman for the bank, which only has a small amount of business in Europe, said the impact on UK staff would be "minimal".
Other financial services companies have announced plans to move workers out of London in case the UK fails to secure "passporting" rights for them to operate across EU borders after Brexit.
Deutsche Bank said last week it could move up to 4,000 jobs out of the UK as a result of Brexit - nearly half its UK workforce.
Barclays told the BBC the bank was preparing to add hundreds of staff to offices in Dublin, Frankfurt and Milan to counter Brexit risks to its European business.
Goldman Sachs has confirmed it will move jobs away from London and bulk up its European presence by "hundreds of people" before a Brexit deal is struck.
Insurers Lloyd's of London and Royal London are also setting up subsidiaries outside the UK.
JP Morgan's Mr Pinto told Bloomberg: "We have to plan for a scenario where there is no UK-EU passporting deal, and we have to move a substantial portion of our business to continue serving our European clients.
"We'll have to wait to see what kind of deal can be achieved and see what we need to do from there."
He was speaking on the sidelines of a conference in Saudi Arabia. A JP Morgan spokesman confirmed Mr Pinto's remarks, but did not elaborate on the story.
A report commissioned by the City UK industry group warned in October that as many as 75,000 financial services jobs could be lost from London if operations into the EU are severely disrupted after Brexit. | US bank JP Morgan could move up to 1,000 jobs out of London ahead of the UK's exit from the European Union. | 39789915 | [

The visitors shaded a first half which ended with a spectacular save from Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall to deny Jonathan Kodjia.
A second half of scarce quality came to life late on, as Elliott Bennett hit the post for Bristol City and Cardiff's Sammy Ameobi shot wide from four yards.
Cardiff are eighth in the Championship while Bristol City climb up to 20th.
Although Cardiff had shown promise earlier in the season, dwindling crowds had tempered any optimism the team's early form may have generated.
Their preceding 1-0 win against Middlesbrough was watched by the lowest league attendance of 13,371 since the Bluebirds moved to their new ground in 2009.
But a derby match and an attendance of 15,287, boosted by a vociferous travelling contingent, lifted the Cardiff City Stadium atmosphere.
Set up in a 5-3-2 formation to counter Cardiff's rigid 4-4-2, Bristol City looked to stretch the game at every opportunity.
They did so effectively and a sixth-minute cross from Marlon Pack almost led to the opening goal but Aaron Wilbraham's header was well held by Marshall.
Matt Connolly had Cardiff's best chance of the first half as he nodded wide from Peter Whittingham's corner, before Marshall was called into action again moments before the break.
Bennett's inviting cross found the unmarked Kodjia, and the striker's firm header was tipped over by Cardiff's Scotland international keeper.
Marshall was kept busy after the interval as Bristol City went close with a Luke Freeman shot from the edge of the area which was palmed away.
Neither side played with much fluency as the match became disjointed, but there was a flurry of chances in the closing moments.
Kodjia had a goal disallowed as he tapped in from an offside position, before a frantic exchange in the Cardiff box ended with Bennett blasting the ball into the post.
The Bluebirds countered and could have snatched an unlikely win, but an unmarked Ameobi rushed his shot and missed the target from inside the six yard box at the front post.
Cardiff City manager Russell Slade said: "We were below par in the first half, we didn't have a creative edge.
"We are tight and organised, but we need to be doing more, particularly at home, to be creating more opportunities.
"Sometimes in football you cannot always find the level you've set yourself, but there's no need for doom and gloom."
Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill said: "I'm disappointed for the boys not disappointed in them, had that last chance gone in from Ameobi it would have been a catastrophe.
"We did enough to win the game, some of our football was excellent and we had some great efforts on goal.
"We've got a very young team, our boys are doing a lot of learning and the Championship is a tough learning curve for them, but they are coming through it with flying colours.
"We've played like we did here all season, that was not a one-off. Things will turn around for us during the season and it will come back to us."

As many readers of this blog like to point out, a virtual reality environment will never be a substitute for actually experiencing something.
No-one, even in the corridors of Oculus Connect, a conference for the virtual reality industry, would suggest otherwise.
Owned by Facebook, Oculus is credited with breathing new life into the virtual reality industry which had faded out after an almost cringe-worthy first-go in the nineties. Its headset, the Oculus Rift, hits shelves next year. Anticipation is huge.
But today we had a reminder of just how far we are from enjoying anything that comes even close to producing an fully-immersive world - one that can recreate common human feelings and emotions; the sense of being somewhere else, with other people, feeling different sensations.
Oculus and Facebook made a range of announcements relating to VR today. Here are the most significant:
To hammer this home, Oculus' chief scientist Michael Abrash took a refreshing approach to his keynote - outlining all the things Oculus could not yet do.
The problems are so great the team is not even trying to solve them - something for the next generation to tackle.
One is providing a sense of smell, a sensation so integral to experiencing, and later remembering, a new place.
Another challenge is the ability to taste something, or hear realistically in a way that does not feel as if we're just wearing headphones. Perhaps the biggest barrier is a sense of touch.
Haptic technology is only just beginning to recreate basic touch sensations - but it remains that in VR, it's going to be years before you'll stop putting your hand through virtual tables, killing the illusion in an instant.
But virtual reality enthusiasts shouldn't feel disheartened.
Right now, VR is what Space Invaders is to Call of Duty. They're both games, sure, but they're worlds apart. The now-primitive blip-blip-blip of 1970s arcade games were the building blocks needed to get us to where we are now.
And so the feeling among Oculus Connect is that this is just the beginning, and there's still a long way to go.
Gamers and the wider public may take a while to reach the same level of excitement felt within the industry.
Mr Abrash told delegates that they're living in the "good old days" of VR - a time that will be looked back upon as the start of something significant.
Except it's not quite the start. We've been here before. Journalists in the 1990s were writing about VR as the next big thing just as I am now. But the technology wasn't ready then.
Is it now? There are a few veterans prowling the halls here, enticed back to the action after some time away. One was Greg Panos, who has been studying virtual and augmented reality for over two decades.
I asked him if this latest wave of VR was any different to what happened in the 90s.
Yes, he said - the difference now is that VR is good enough, and cheap enough, for companies to start making some serious money. And so it starts.
The first battleground for VR will be gaming. Therefore the best games will win - in theory - so efforts from HTC Vive headset could disrupt Facebook's ambition. HTC has partnered with legendary games maker Valve, and so the games should be terrific. And the Vive goes on sale first.
Sony is jostling in, too. Its Morpheus headset has two things going for it. One, it's tied to the already immensely successful PlayStation 4, and so will likely be bundled with the console.
But with the announcements made today, Facebook is giving itself a huge headstart in a new, exciting world of entertainment.
Deals with Netflix and Minecraft could give Oculus the edge, even if other competitors have better hardware, as has been the suggestion. Content, as always, is king. Vive and Morpheus will need to compete with that.
The possibilities are mind-blowingly enormous - from gaming to tele-presence, education to blockbuster movies, Facebook is trying to nurture a platform that one day could rival the mobile app ecosystem in its scale.
But - and it's a big but - Facebook still needs to pull it off. One year on from Facebook's purchase of Oculus VR, we've still not seen the technology really hit the market in any meaningful way. That means Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg's $2bn bet in VR bet is still wide-open.
Will that purchase be seen as a shrewd move on par with Google's bargain-tactic $1.65bn purchase of YouTube in 2006?
Or will Oculus be Mr Zuckerberg's MySpace - a service with great early momentum, bought by NewsCorp for $580m, only to be later offloaded for $35m? It was a newcomer that took what MySpace started and made it much much better, killing the business in the process.
That newcomer being Facebook, of course, Mr Zuckerberg certainly knows how this game works.
It's presumably why he appeared, unannounced, at Thursday's event, seemingly with one key purpose - to manage the expectations of developers, the press and the public.
"All of you are inventing the next major platform," he told delegates. "This is going to go very slowly.
"Facebook is committed to this for the long term."
He doesn't expect "millions" of units to be sold - at least not for a while.
He was there to reassure developers that even if things don't pick up and make millionaires straight away, he's committed to sticking with it.
But he's not the only one - and it could be competitors that take what Oculus has started and does things better - giving Mr Zuckerberg the MySpace treatment.

Screen grabs showing the website with messages from gay activists are being circulated on social media sites.
In one, the prime minister apologises to all homosexuals living in Uganda and gives his support to a gay pride march.
Homosexual acts are illegal in Uganda and gay people have faced physical attacks and social rejection.
Earlier this year, a controversial anti-gay bill, which proposes to increase the penalties for homosexual acts from 14 years in jail to life, was re-tabled in the Ugandan parliament.
The bill was first introduced in 2009 but never debated - and the MP backing the legislation says a clause proposing the death penalty will be dropped.
It originally said those found guilty of "aggravated homosexuality" - defined as when one of the participants is a minor, HIV-positive, disabled or a "serial offender" - would face the death penalty.
The Uganda Justice Law and Order Sector website was also reportedly taken over by hackers this week.
Ambrose Ruyooka, commissioner for the Information Communications Technology ministry, told the BBC the problem had now been rectified.
The government has created a directorate of security for all government websites and tightened cyber laws to counter rising cyber crime, he said.
An activist named @DramaSett3r on Twitter is said to be behind the attacks.
The operations were carried out by a group known as The Elite Society and the Anonymous hacktivist community, the activist said.
On Wednesday, the official website of Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi quoted him as saying: "We have got to expel the narrow mindedness from this country, and begin afresh, starting with a full and formal apology to all homosexuals living in Uganda today," screen grabs on Twitter and Facebook show.
A message allegedly posted by the hackers on the prime minister's site on Tuesday said: "Your violations of the rights of LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] people have disgusted us.
"All people have the right to live in dignity free from the repression of someone else's political and religious beliefs."
The East African nation is a largely conservative society and many people condemn homosexuality both as unAfrican and unChristian.
Western donors have recently said they could withdraw aid from those countries, including many in Africa, which do not recognise gay rights. | The Ugandan prime minister's website was attacked by hackers on Tuesday and Wednesday, a government official has confirmed to the BBC. | 19281664 | [

Paul Heatley was sent-off in the 41st minute following an off-the-ball incident with Lyndon Kane.
James McLaughlin turned the ball home from six yards midway through the second half after Sean O'Neill had parried Ruairi Harkin's initial shot.
Jordan Forsythe was dismissed for a crude two-footed challenge on Kane.
The precious point keeps Stephen Baxter's champions within four points of Premiership pacesetters Linfield.
Crusaders went into the game on the back of five straight league wins while the Bannsiders' record of just two wins in their previous 21 matches against their visitors suggested they faced an uphill task.
Rodney Brown directed a header straight at O'Neill and then Forsythe headed wide and saw a close-range effort cleared off the line by Steven Douglas.
Heatley had a low shot parried by Coleraine stopper Michael Doherty, while Jamie McGonigle raced clear and found himself one-on-one with O'Neill, who blocked the Coleraine player's shot with his legs.
Heatley was shown the red card by referee Keith Kennedy and when McLaughlin broke the deadlock, Oran Kearney's side looked to be in control.
Forsythe's 71st-minute sending-off appeared to seal the Crues' fate but O'Flynn's late intervention after a Craig McClean free-kick earned a last-gasp draw. | Substitute Stephen O'Flynn's final minute diving header salvaged an unlikely point for nine-man Crusaders against Coleraine at Ballycastle Road. | 34302754 | [

The building, opposite the High Court, houses the Belfast office of law firm Pinsent Masons.
It was developed by the property company William Ewart, which has been selling assets as part of an agreement with the Cerberus investment fund.
Land Registry filings show the building has been bought by a London-registered firm, CL 10 Ltd.
The price was understood to be about £14.5m.
Other companies associated with CL 10 have bought other commercial properties in Belfast.
Construction of the Soloist, designed by Norwegian firm Niels Torp, started during the worst of the property crash.
The loans connected with the building were moved into the Irish National Assets Management Agency (Nama), and the agency provided funding which allowed it to be completed in 2014. | The Soloist, one of Belfast's most distinctive office developments, has been sold. | 35600499 | [

Reports suggest Chinese buyers are acquiring the clothing retailer, which started in London in the 1850s.
Its illustrious fans have included the Queen Mother, Margaret Thatcher and actors such as Cary Grant.
But after the British firm was saved from administration in 2012, it has mainly focused on China and last year saw its UK sales fall 16%.
Hong Kong-based YGM Trading, which bought it for £15m four years ago, said Aquascutum is due to be sold in March 2017 to two buyers.
The unnamed acquirers have made a $5m down payment for exclusive rights to the deal, YGM said in its annual report this week.
Chinese textile firm Shandong Ruyi Group is understood to be one of the buyers, according to Bloomberg.
Aquascutum started as a Mayfair tailors in 1851, rising to prominence after its founder, John Emary, patented the first waterproof textile.
Its trench coats were worn by British soldiers during the First World War, while in 1953 its wyncol fabric - designed to withstand 100 mph winds - was used by explorer Edmund Hillary in the first confirmed ascent of Mount Everest.
The coats were also a regular feature on the silver screen, with Sean Connery wearing one in Another Time, Another Place in 1958 and Sophia Loren in The Key.
However, the retailer has struggled in recent years, closing its Nottinghamshire factory in 2012 and then falling into administration.
Under YGM's ownership, the company's primary focus has been China, with 135 of its 146 outlets located in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Last year it closed 14 stores in China amid declining sales, but opened one in Europe.
In the UK, its three remaining standalone stores are in Westfield London, Great Marlborough Street and Jermyn Street. | Aquascutum, whose luxury raincoats have been worn by royalty and film stars, is being sold for $120m (£97m). | 38404407 | [

The North East Counter Terrorism Unit confirmed the Dewsbury teenager was questioned in April under section 5 of the Terrorism Act and later bailed.
Hassan Munshi and Talha Asmal, both 17, are feared to have travelled to Syria to join Islamic State in March.
West Yorkshire Police and counter-terrorism officers are investigating.
Speaking at the time of their disappearance, the boys' families said they were praying for the safe return of the "ordinary Yorkshire lads".
Hassan's brother, Hammaad Munshi, was arrested in 2006 at the age of 16 after police found a guide to making napalm on his computer.
He became the youngest person to be convicted under the Terrorism Act. | A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts as part of a search for two teenagers from Dewsbury thought to be in Syria. | 32907372 | [

In a 2005 letter, the prince referred to "the most pressing and urgent problem" of tuberculosis (TB) in cattle, which was "caused and spread" by badgers.
He wrote: "I do urge you to look again at introducing a proper cull of badgers where it is necessary.
The Labour government later rejected a cull in the English countryside.
The revelations come from private letters sent by the Prince of Wales to Labour ministers a decade ago, which have been published after a lengthy legal battle.
Prince Charles wrote: "I, for one, cannot understand how the 'badger lobby' seem to mind not at all about the slaughter of thousands of expensive cattle, and yet object to a managed cull of an over-population of badgers - to me, this is intellectually dishonest."
In reply, Mr Blair said he could "personally see the case for culling badgers" but did not want to prejudge a decision by environment ministers".
The coalition led by David Cameron gave the go-ahead for pilot culls in England in 2013.
These are expected to resume for a third year in the Southwest this year and may be rolled out to other areas of England.
Other letters written by the prince reveal more details of his interest in agriculture.
He appealed for support for farmers and British-grown produce, and raised his "anxiety" about the country's lack of self-sufficiency in foods such as meat and vegetables.
He also mentioned "the enormous problem of climate change", praising "the remarkable leadership role" the government was taking in this area. | Prince Charles asked the Blair government to consider the culling of badgers, historic documents reveal. | 32731604 | [

Marco Goncalves, 34, assaulted the referee after being sent off in last month's game against Rio Tinto, and was escorted off the pitch by police.
Images of the attack went viral, with the referee suffering a broken nose.
Goncalves plays for Canelas, a club made up of FC Porto ultras who have been branded "thugs" for their aggressive style of play.
Three members of their squad, including the captain, hail from the 'Super Dragons' ultras, a well-known fan group of Porto.
Other clubs in the fourth-tier amateur league would rather pay a 750-euro fine and forfeit the match than play Canelas.
As a result, they are top of the league after a string of default wins, but no official complaints have yet been filed against the club.
A spokesman for the Porto regional league told AFP Gonclaves has been banned for four years for the attack on the referee, three months for assaulting an opposition players and two months for "insults". | An amateur footballer in Portugal has been banned for more than four years after kneeing a referee in the face. | 39786257 | [

JAB is offering $92 a share. While more than Friday's price, it's a discount to the $157 share price high the company enjoyed in November 2014.
The deal will make JAB the biggest player in the North American single-serve coffee pod market.
"Keurig Green Mountain represents a major step forward in the creation of our global coffee platform," said JAB chairman Bart Becht, in a statement.
JAB has invested heavily in the US coffee market. It bought Caribou Coffee Co and Peet's Coffee & Tea in 2012 and formed a joint venture between coffeemakers DE Master Blenders and Mondelez International in July.
Keurig will continue to operate as an independent company after the purchase.
Coca-Cola - Keurig's biggest investors- voiced its support for the deal in a statement. Coca-Cola will take a 17.4% stake in the new private company.
"We have enjoyed a strong partnership with Keurig Green Mountain, and will continue our collaboration with JAB in order to capitalize on the growth opportunities in the single-serve, pod-based segment of the cold beverage industry," said Muhtar Kent, Coca-Cola's chief executive.
Despite the higher cost of a single-serve coffee pod compared to a cup of filter coffee, the popularity of the machines continues to grow globally.
According to Euromonitor International over the next three to five years, sales of single serve coffee pods are expected to grow by 5% in the US, 10% in Canada and 8% in Mexico. The research firm said the coffee pod business already accounts for 40% of the $15bn global coffee market.
The business is not without its critics. The plastic pods have been criticised for increasing the amount of waste in landfills
In March the creator of the K-cups, John Sylvan, told The Atlantic magazine he did not use the machine and acknowledged their cost and impact on the environment.
"I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it," Sylvan told the magazine. | Keurig Green Mountain, which makes K-cups single-serve coffee pods, said it has accepted a $13.9bn (£9.2bn) bid. | 35034099 | [

The American band had been set to perform in Bellahouston Park on Tuesday.
However, promoters PCL said the show had been cancelled because "adverse weather conditions" meant it was "no longer safe" for the bands to perform.
In a statement on their website Green Day said they were "very distraught".
They said the stage was deemed "unsafe for the fans and everyone involved".
The band added: "We are very distraught about this as we are in Glasgow now and were very much looking forward to this show as one the highlights of our tour.
"We have been playing in extreme weather conditions throughout this European tour, and the last thing we want to do is see a show cancelled.
"We love our Scottish fans and we don't care if it's raining... sideways, although the safety of our fans and our crew is always our top priority.
"We love you Scotland, we love the city of Glasgow and it goes without saying that we will be back."
In a strongly worded post on Instagram, the band's bassist Mike Dirnt posted a video of himself next to a Saltire.
He said: "We are devastated and it... sucks that the show today has been cancelled due to safety issues.
"I know today's show would have been insane! I'm at a loss for words and so disappointed right now, but please know we will be back ASAP! Rage & Love."
Disappointed fans have also voiced their anger at the last-minute announcement.
Charlotte Durcan, from Lincolnshire, said she and her family had travelled nearly four hours to attend the concert.
"We arrived safely, paid for parking, paid for our hotel, and at 13:45 received an e-mail to say that the concert has been cancelled," she said.
"We could have saved our money," she added.
"The hotel won't reimburse us as there is a 72-hour notice period. We will be staying there for one night only as we just came for the concert. We're not really sure how to pass the time now.
"It's my first time in Glasgow and it has ruined my Glasgow experience."
Many ticket holders took to social media to express their disappointment.
One said she was "absolutely devastated" by the decision, after waiting seven years to see the band perform in Scotland.
Others raised questions over the weather conditions, claiming that T in the Park and Glastonbury often go ahead in heavy rain.
It also led to queries about how well prepared the organisers were for the sell-out concert.
Glasgow City Council, which operates Bellahouston Park, said they did not tell the promoters to cancel the gig.
They said the decision was taken by the promoters and the band's management, who informed the council of the move.
The promoters announced the cancellation on Twitter shortly before 13:30. The gates were due to open at 14:00. They said fans would receive refunds.
In a statement, they said: "Adverse weather conditions overnight and throughout the morning, during the bands scheduled load in, led to issues on stage.
"A meeting between the on site health and safety, event management, the artists representatives and promoters concluded that it would be unsafe in the timescale to proceed with the event."
Police Scotland said they had officers at the park advising fans that the gig was cancelled and ensuring that they got home safely.
Green Day were due to be supported by Rancid, Slaves and Skids.
Slaves hastily arranged a replacement gig, announcing on Twitter that the "good people of Glasgow still need a gig". It quickly sold out. | Promoters have blamed bad weather for the decision to cancel a concert by Green Day in Glasgow, only hours before it was due to begin. | 40491878 | [

Amber Rudd told the BBC the manifesto was "not going to be identical to the last one" and said things had changed since 2015 because of Brexit.
The target, set by David Cameron in 2010, has never been met and recent figures put net migration at 273,000.
The PM indicated in April that she would stick with the aim.
Speaking on a campaign visit last month, Theresa May, who was Ms Rudd's predecessor as home secretary, told the BBC: "We want to see sustainable net migration in this country."
"I believe that sustainable net migration is in the tens of thousands."
Questions had been raised about whether the commitment would feature in the Conservative manifesto after Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said that immigration was "not about putting numbers on it" but about ensuring Britain had the skilled workers it needed.
Asked whether she agreed with her colleague, Ms Rudd told BBC Radio 5live's Pienaar's Politics: "It's too early to say. I appreciate you want to push me on this but we are going to have to wait until the manifesto comes out."
Pressed on the issue again, she added: "That's why we're having a new manifesto. It's not going to be identical to the last one.
"We're setting it out for hopefully for a five year term, we've got a lot to think through to work out what's the best way to deliver on our priorities."
She added: "My personal view is, we need to continue to bring immigration down. I want to make sure that we do it in a way that supports businesses, you know we're ending freedom of movement when we leaving the European Union.
"So the situation from that time the [2015] manifesto... has changed because we're leaving the European Union, so it's right that we look at it again."
Ms Rudd also played down the potential impact of excluding students from net migration figures, saying: "It's a complete red herring to talk about taking students out of those numbers and it making a big impact."
This was because, in theory, roughly the same numbers of students should be leaving the UK at the end of their courses as are arriving each year.
Official figures out last month show EU migrants make up more than one in 10 manufacturing sector workers in the UK.
The government has promised new migration controls after the UK leaves the EU, when freedom of movement rules will no longer apply, but it has yet to set out the precise model it will adopt.
Labour says it accepts that the principle of the free movement of people - which EU leaders say goes hand-in-hand with single market membership - would have to end after Brexit.
But shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has said new immigration controls should not be the "overarching priority" as the UK leaves.
UKIP has said that Mrs May's failure to reduce net migration to less than 100,000 while she was home secretary suggests that she could yet "back slide" on delivering Brexit. | The home secretary has refused to say whether the Conservative manifesto will repeat their 2015 pledge to cut net migration to the "tens of thousands". | 39837199 | [

Observations with Japan's Subaru telescope reveal the likely icy body to be some 15.5 billion km from the Sun - about three times further away than even far-flung Pluto.
Scientists say their initial studies suggest that the object - catalogued as V774104 - is some 500-1,000km across.
It will need to be tracked over time to learn the shape and extent of its orbit through the Solar System.
The discovery was announced at the 47th annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences, taking place in National Harbor near Washington DC.
The team behind the find is led by Scott Sheppard, from the Carnegie Institution for Science, and Chad Trujillo, from the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii.
They specialise in detecting Solar System outliers.
The previously recognised most distant object is the dwarf planet Eris.
This body, which has a moon, Dysnomia, moves between 5.7 billion km and 14.6 billion km from the Sun.
To put some of these numbers in context: Earth is 149 million km from the Sun, and even the most distant major planet - Neptune - seems close at 4.5 billion km, by these standards.
That said, the Voyager 1 probe is further away - just. The epic robotic explorer has now ventured 20 billion km from home.
The big question is whether V774104 sweeps inwards from its present location, like Eris, or outwards, like the objects known as 2012 VP113 and Sedna.
These bodies are currently slightly closer in than Eris, but investigations of their orbits show they will reach far deeper into space, out to 66 billion km and 140 billion km, respectively.
Models for Solar System formation suggest that such objects were probably not created in these weird, eccentric orbits.
One explanation is that they have been perturbed gravitationally and pulled on to their strange trajectories by a passing planet - perhaps one that was expelled from our Solar System early in its history.
Some scientists even speculate that such objects could have been stolen from a star that formed from the same "nursery" of gas and dust as our Sun 4.6 billion years ago.

The force backed down from its policy of arming some officers for routine duties following a backlash last year.
Giving evidence at Holyrood, Assistant Chief Constable Bernie Higgins said armed officers were among the best trained in the force.
But he accepted police intelligence could sometimes get it wrong.
Assistant Chief Constable Higgins told Holyrood's justice sub-committee that during a recent incident in Edinburgh two armed officers were confronted with a man wielding a knife.
One was stabbed four times, he said, but the officers did not shoot the attacker because they feared it would put members of the public standing nearby at risk.
Assistant Chief Constable Higgins said in another instance armed officers had comforted an injured pensioner in the street and intervened to prevent street brawls developing further.
But he also confirmed that they had issued fixed penalties for public urination, drinking in the street and breach of the peace.
In October, following pressure from politicians and civic society, Police Scotland said specialist armed police officers in Scotland would in future only be deployed to firearms incidents or where there is a threat to life.
Earlier this month, in front of the same committee, Assistant Chief Constable Higgins said since October 2014 armed officers had "engaged with the public" on 1,644 occasions, including stopping drink-drivers and helping find missing people.
He told MSPs then a review of the policy was currently being undertaken and was close to being finalised.
During Thursday's session, Assistant Chief Constable Higgins also accepted criticism of police intelligence which led to a 91-year-old driver being ordered from his car at gunpoint by four armed officers.
Mr Higgins said: "Based on the information the firearms officers had that time, their actions were entirely appropriate.
"There was criticism of Police Scotland in terms of the intelligence that was held, the information that was held, and how quickly or otherwise that was passed to firearms officers."
Some MSPs raised concerns about armed police seen shopping in supermarkets.
Police Scotland received more than 5,000 complaints since May in total, said Assistant Chief Constable Higgins, ranging from incivility to use of excessive force. | Police Scotland has received 27 complaints from members of the public since May about its controversial armed policing policy, MSPs heard. | 31970403 | [

The firm has reported a net profit of $471m (£294m) in the three months to 8 September.
China contributed more than half of Yum's $3.6bn revenue during the period.
US-based Yum is the biggest Western restaurant operator in China and fears about growth in the country had pushed Yum shares lower in recent weeks.
Profits in Yum's Chinese business had dropped in the second quarter because of higher costs but rebounded in the third quarter, rising by 22%.
Since June, the group has opened 394 new restaurants, of which 192 new units were in China, which contributed to its sales growth.
Globally, profits for the group grew 18% during the period.
The company beat its earnings targets and has raised its full-year outlook. | Yum Brands, which runs the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurant chains, has seen third quarter profits soar 23%, boosted by strong sales in China. | 19893323 | [

Ms Glass, MP for North West Durham, has been shadow minister for Europe and a shadow junior education minister.
But her appointment has come during a wave of resignations by Labour MPs seeking a change in leadership.
Ms Powell, in stepping down, said that Mr Corbyn's position has become "untenable" as Labour party leader.
Ms Glass has had a background in education, serving as a member of the education select committee during the coalition government between 2010 and 2015.
Before entering Parliament she worked with local education authorities on improving their education services.
She now enters a shadow cabinet facing calls for a leadership election, with her predecessor Ms Powell joining calls for another leader.
Ms Powell said Mr Corbyn had shown himself to be "decent, principled and kind" but that his position as head of the party had become "untenable" and that she did not have confidence that he could provide an effective opposition.
In her resignation letter Ms Powell highlighted that during her time as shadow education secretary the government had been forced to abandon plans to make it compulsory for all schools to become academies. | Pat Glass has been announced as Labour's shadow education secretary, after Lucy Powell resigned from Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet. | 36641282 | [
