The 23-year-old back will leave Bristol at the end of the season in May.
"I had a number of offers from England, France and Japan, but moving back to Wales was the correct decision at this point in my career," said Morgan.
"I feel I can test myself and develop the skills I need to keep knocking on the door for Wales."
Newport Gwent Dragons were also keen to sign Morgan, who can play at full-back or fly-half, and started against Fiji in last year's World Cup.
He is in his second season at Bristol and has scored 167 points in 28 appearances for the Championship side he joined from Ospreys in May 2014.
Morgan was named Championship player of the season in his debut campaign in England.
Blues head coach Danny Wilson worked with the player at Bristol and with Wales under-20s and expects Morgan to play most of the time at full-back.
"He has the ability to cover other positions but it's primarily full-back that we have recruited him for," said Wilson.
"It dovetails in with what Wales have done with Matthew recently. Matthew on our (artificial) surface (at the Arms Park) will be a real threat with his footwork and his ability to beat defenders."
Morgan played 66 games for the Ospreys but found his game-time at fly-half limited by Dan Biggar and the emerging Sam Davies, prompting his move to Bristol. | Matthew Morgan says he turned down offers from around the world to join Cardiff Blues in the pursuit of adding to his five Wales caps. | 35248374 | [

The 54-year-old was convicted of two counts of common assault against the boys, aged 14 and 15, in a food store in north London, in October 2014.
One boy had been trying to pass Joyce in a narrow aisle and after an exchange of words was knocked to the floor.
Joyce will be sentenced at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 27 May.
The former Labour MP had claimed he was performing a "citizen's arrest" at News & Food Express in Chalk Farm and asked the shopkeeper to call police.
The attack happened close to the drinks fridge at about 21:40 BST on 17 October and was filmed on the store's CCTV.
Joyce "flung" the 14-year-old boy to the floor and held him down by the throat, the court heard.
"He started shouting in my face. I remember begging him to leave me alone," the boy said.
His 15-year-old friend was elbowed and winded while trying to help and both boys then fled the shop, the court was told.
Shopkeeper Ali Fahan said: "I told the man to let him go because he was crying."
Giving evidence, Joyce insisted he had overcome his battle with alcohol after a string of previous convictions.
The court heard that he assaulted politicians in the House of Commons bar in 2012, which led to his resignation from the Labour Party.
He said: "I have a background as a judo player. I was conscious I didn't want to over-act."
The former army major told the court he felt threatened when the boys walked by because one was shouting and swearing and had taken an "aggressive" stance.
Joyce said he put his hand out to stop the teenager knocking over a supermarket shelf but it fell anyway.
Delivering his verdict, District Judge John Zani said: "In my view, you underplayed the violence you meted out to these young men and wanted the police called so as to justify your actions.
"You readily told police, incorrectly, that [one boy] head-butted you for no reason."
He said all sentencing options including imprisonment would be considered.
Joyce is not standing in the general election and has been released on conditional bail until sentencing. | Former Falkirk MP Eric Joyce has been found guilty of assaulting two teenage boys in an "unjustified and unprovoked" attack in a shop. | 32557123 | [

Speaking in Vienna, US Secretary of State John Kerry said world powers would back Libya in seeking exemption from a UN arms embargo.
He said IS was a "new threat" to Libya and it was "imperative" it was stopped.
Last month, the Libyan government warned that IS could seize most of the country if it was not halted soon.
After holding talks with international partners, Mr Kerry said: "The GNA [Government of National Accord] is the only entity that can unify the country. It is the only way to ensure that vital institutions... fall under representative and acknowledged authority.
"It is the only way to generate the cohesion necessary to defeat Daesh [IS]."
The requested arms embargo "exemption" for Libya will need to be approved by the UN Sanctions Committee before it comes into force.
But the Libyan government's formal request for it signals that they have been given assurances that it would soon be approved.
Libya remains a country where multiple administrations are still bickering over who is in charge. Armed groups in western Libya, reputed for their shifting allegiances, only loosely back the new government, and there is no clear chain of command.
There is a risk that future arms shipments will either fall into the wrong hands, or exacerbate the civil conflict there between rival militias.
Mr Kerry said support for arming the government was part of a package of measures agreed at the meeting, which included accelerating non-military aid to Libya.
He said that as well as countering IS, the GNA should take full control of Libyan ministries, backed by the international community.
A joint statement from the countries attending drew attention to Libya's role as a major transit point for migrants trying to reach Europe.
"We look forward to partnering with the GNA and neighbouring countries to tackle the threat posed throughout the Mediterranean and on its land borders by criminal organisations engaged in all forms of smuggling and trafficking, including in human beings," it said.
"We are ready to respond to the Libyan government's requests for training and equipping the presidential guard and vetted forces from throughout Libya."
But the prime minister of Libya's unity government, Fayez Sarraj, warned major challenges lay ahead, saying taking on IS would require further outside help.
"We urge the international community to assist us," he said.
"We are not talking about international intervention, we are talking about international assistance in training, equipping our troops and training our youths."
The North African country has been in chaos since Nato-backed forces overthrew long-time ruler Col Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011.
Until recently it had two rival governments competing for power, and there are still hundreds of militias, some allied to IS.
Western nations hope the unity government will take on IS, which has a foothold in Sirte - the home town of Gaddafi.
The militant group has launched a series of suicide bombings and attacks on oil facilities in the country. | The US and other world powers have said they are ready to arm Libya's UN-backed unity government to help it fight the self-styled Islamic State (IS) group. | 36300525 | [

The 25-year-old, who suffered an ankle injury in January which ruled him out for the remainder of the season, has been linked with a move away from St Mary's.
Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have all been reported to be interested in the Dutch international.
"He has a long contract and the directors want to keep him," Puel said.
"He has authority, the leadership of the team, he is a fantastic player.
"It's important for us, of course, to wait until the beginning of the season to see him on the pitch with Southampton."

There could be "serious implications" for Gloucestershire Police, the police and crime commissioner has warned.
Cotswold District Council's proposal to form a unity authority with West Oxfordshire has proved controversial.
But CDC says the plans - dubbed 'Coxit' - are at an early stage but aim to improve accountability.
CDC leader Lynden Stowe has said Gloucestershire's "historic borders" would remain under the proposals, which aim to improve the "administration and the delivery of council services".
He told BBC Radio Gloucestershire a few weeks ago: "We would expect the police to patrol up to the existing county borders, exactly as now, so if there's a crime in Cirencester, Gloucestershire Police attend and if there's a burglary in Burford, Thames Valley Police attend."
But Gloucestershire's PCC Martin Surl said he had taken legal advice on the "Coxit" proposal, and warned it could "signal the end of Gloucestershire Police as we know it".
Under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007, he said the Cotswolds could become part of Thames Valley Police District.
"If they break away to a new district, we can't continue policing just half a district," he told the BBC.
"So, either we start taking some of Thames Valley's area in Oxfordshire, or they start policing parts of Gloucestershire. Neither want that ."
A spokesman for Cotswold District Council said they "fully understand the initial concerns" but they were "best addressed through the detailed studies that will now take place to assess the feasibility of the unitary proposal".
Mr Surl, an independent, is standing for re-election as Gloucestershire PCC on 5 May, alongside Labour's Barry Kirby and the Conservatives' Will Windsor Clive. | The Cotswolds could be policed by the Thames Valley force if plans to "break away" from Gloucestershire County Council go ahead, it is claimed. | 35874789 | [

Scotland's early lead had gone, the sides were level at 1-1 and the frailties at the heart of their defence were evident again. "It was a crisis," said the Scotland manager, earnestly.
Crisis was a strong word to use, but it was Strachan's word and it was a revealing one. It spoke not just to the predicament his team were in against a nation ranked 176th in the world but also to Scotland's previous opening days in major championship qualification.
The 0-0 draw against Lithuania that got the Euro 2000 campaign off to a grim start. The 2-2 draw against the Faroes in the first round of matches for Euro 2004. The 0-0 draw with Slovenia in week one of the qualifiers for World Cup 2006.
The loss to Macedonia on the first day of the campaign to make the World Cup in 2010. The draw with Lithuania that put Scotland on the back foot straight away in the Euro 2012 qualifiers. The draw with Serbia that did the same for World Cup 2014.
Scotland failed to qualify for all those tournaments, as if anybody needs reminding.
"Everybody was concerned," said Strachan, about half-time in Malta. "But we had a bunch of lads who could deal with the stress."
Scotland had enjoyed 72.5% possession in that opening half and their dominance of the ball wasn't reflected in a dominance on the scoreboard.
This is not unusual when teams play Malta, but it's still unsettling at the time. Lots of possession doesn't always mean lots of goals. Malta can be slapstick but, on their very best days, they can also be stuffy.
Strachan would have known that. Maybe that's where the mention of a "crisis" came from, a realisation that while the minnows don't win matches, they do have the capacity, from time to time, to frustrate.
In the qualifiers for Euro 2016, Italy had 71% possession (and a one-man advantage for 46 minutes) against Malta and yet only scored once against them. In the return match, they had 70% possession and again they broke down their opponents only once.
In the same group, Croatia had their issues with the Maltese. They, like Italy, had a one-man advantage, for 59 minutes, and enjoyed 70% of the ball but only scored twice, the second coming nine minutes from the end. In their second game with Malta, they had 64% possession and only won 1-0. Strachan had mentioned their stuffiness in the preamble. At half-time, that fear wouldn't have been far from his mind.
In fairness to them, Scotland picked up the banana skin and flung it out of their road. At 2-1, they had retaken control of the game, then they benefited from a horrific refereeing error that gave them a penalty they didn't deserve, a decision that also unjustly reduced Malta to 10 men with half-an-hour left.
In the Euro qualifiers, 10-man Malta managed to batten down the hatches against the 11 men of Italy and Croatia but they couldn't repeat the trick against Scotland. Strachan's team got seriously lucky with the penalty and the red card, but they made the most of it. Five goals is a hell of a return when so many would have settled for one, as long as it was decisive.
What did Sunday night tell us? It told us that Strachan's favoured centre-halves, Russell Martin and Grant Hanley, had better start playing games for their clubs - they're out of the picture at Norwich and Newcastle - before the next round of qualifiers in October. In a worrying opening half the pair of them were rusty and vulnerable, even to the pea-shooters of Malta.
It told us that Ollie Burke has a lot to offer, that in James McArthur's absence, Barry Bannan's surprise selection was justified and that in Leigh Griffiths' absence - and the increasingly perplexing omission of Ross McCormack - Chris Martin scored an important goal to make it 2-1.
It also told us that Matt Ritchie's delivery from out wide could be invaluable. Above all, it reminded us that Robert Snodgrass is not just a terrific footballer, but he's also a fine leader - and if there was luck involved in his hat-trick then it was not before time. Injury robbed him of 16 months of his career. The man is due some payback.
Scotland's record on the opening day of major championship qualifying campaigns is lamentable, but this team has spared itself the misery of its predecessors. They can look to Lithuania at Hampden on 8 October with a bit of confidence.
Like the Malta game, that's a must-win. Lithuania drew 2-2 with Slovenia on Sunday having led 2-0 after 34 minutes. They're already weakened by that result. Scotland can deal them a major blow by beating them next month. Prepare to forget about qualification if they don't.
We can only talk in ball-park numbers when trying to figure out how many points Scotland may need to make the play-offs - presuming that England, though hugely uninspired in victory against Slovakia, go on and win the group.
Media playback is not supported on this device
For the 2014 World Cup, Croatia, Iceland and France made the play-offs with 17 points. All the other nations that made the play-offs could have got there with 18, although some ended up with more than 18.
Four years earlier, and because Scotland's group was so lamentably bad - Norway finished second with a feeble 10 points, 11 points would have got a team to the play-offs. That was a highly unusual campaign, though.
Over those past two World Cup qualifying campaigns the 16 teams that advanced to the play-offs had an average of 20 points each. That's why home and away victories against Malta and Lithuania are vital. It's why Slovakia and Slovenia need to be beaten at some stage, home or away. Even then, Scotland may need to garner some draws to top up their total.
Scotland have been a mile off that standard. In the last three World Cup qualifying series they finished on 11 points (2014), 10 points (2010) and 13 points (2006).
Scotland being Scotland, even when they got off to a flier (Euro 2008 campaign) and had nine points out of nine (including a win over France) and 12 points from a possible 15 at the start, they still didn't make it. None of this will be easy, but it's not supposed to be.
The encouraging thing is that, on Sunday, they leaped over the first hurdle, an obstacle they usually thunder into before crashing to the floor. The barriers only get bigger from here. But, then, the prize, is pretty huge, too. | The ghosts of failures past must have been swirling around Gordon Strachan's ears at half-time in Malta on Sunday night. | 37276421 | [

Eileen Maguire, 69, died after the three-car crash on the Belfast Road in Fivemiletown in November 2013.
Her family told BBC News NI that they were disappointed with the sentence.
Damien Maguire, 43, from Knockonny Road, Ballygawley, pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving.
He also admitted causing grievous bodily injury to Mrs Maguire's husband and son, as well as his own wife.
The judge told Mrs Maguire's family "nothing I can say or do can bring back Eileen Maguire".
In all of the circumstances the Dungannon Crown Court judge said he was "left with the firm view" that justice could not be served by a custodial sentence.
The court had also heard that Mrs Maguire, the owner of a restaurant from Lisnarick, was being driven home by her husband and son after attending her brother-in-law's funeral in Belfast.
Earlier, the judge told Maguire that while he had no "visual cue" in the eight to ten seconds before the crash, he had seriously failed to appreciate that the cars in front "were getting closer and closer and closer" regardless of "whether or not brake lights were illuminated".
The judge said that as a result, "there was a serious head-on collision" and such were the injuries of Mrs Maguire, she "unfortunately passed away".
Prior to the tragedy, said the judge, Maguire "lived an absolutely blameless life, he has succeeded in business, and contributed to the community, engaged in charitable work".
Reading from a statement written by Maguire, his lawyer acknowledged he could "never turn back the clock", and accepted there was nothing he could do to mitigate the loss of Mrs Maguire.
"I am deeply sorry for the pain and anguish I have caused that family," read the statement. | A County Tyrone car dealer, whose driving caused the death of a pensioner, has been given a community service order and a three-year driving ban. | 39117214 | [

The emergency services were called to the property in the Sangomore area of Durness at about 02:00.
Police Scotland said it was not known if she was in the house at the time. Her relatives have been informed.
Det Insp Richard Baird said the fire was not thought to be suspicious, but the damage caused had prevented entry to the property.
He said: "A joint investigation with the fire service will be carried out.

The Potters' record signing, who arrived in January, powered home to give the visitors a half-time lead.
Ibrahim Afellay struck a sweet second for Stoke, and substitute Joselu made it 3-0 two minutes later.
Matt Ritchie responded immediately for the Cherries, but his left-footed strike proved to be a mere consolation.

It was Stoke's first away win in 2016 and only their second league victory in seven attempts.
Mark Hughes's side move up to ninth in the table, five points off the European places, while Bournemouth remain 15th and four points above the relegation zone.

Stoke had been on the end of three consecutive 3-0 defeats in the league, and had failed to get on the score sheet for a month.
But they looked clinical from the outset at the Vitality Stadium, even without Marko Arnautovic and Bojan in the side.
Frenchman Imbula, who signed from Marseille for £18.3m on transfer deadline day, opened his Stoke account in only his second appearance by racing onto the ball and thrashing home.
A superb counter-attack led to their second, as the impressive Jon Walters held the ball up before feeding to Afellay, who swept home his first ever Premier League goal.
And only moments after coming on for the injured Glen Johnson, Joselu grabbed a third with a rising header after a pinpoint ball from Xherdan Shaqiri.
Bournemouth enjoyed 62% of the possession in the first-half but failed to really test Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland - bar a looping effort from Charlie Daniels.
Benik Afobe had scored three in five games since joining from Wolves in January but looked out of his depth at times, and only managed two touches in the box during the first 45 minutes.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe brought on Scotland international Ritchie for the second half, along with Josh King, and the wide pair made a huge difference going forward.
Ritchie scored with a clinical effort from the edge of the box, and he almost grabbed a second from King's ball in, as Stoke struggled to cope without injured defenders Johnson and Marc Muniesa.
But eventually the Cherries faded and they were unable to pull off an unlikely comeback, leaving them with back-to-back league defeats.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "They were quite compact and deep and I thought they were very respectful of how we played and the first moments of the game I was expecting us to have a really good afternoon but the goal seemed to change the game.

"I think the quality of their goals was really high and their first goal was a great strike, their third goal was very well worked but their second goal was the one I think we are really disappointed with."
Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "It was a really pleasing away performance, we came here with a good game plan.
"We conceded a bit of possession, more than we usually do but we felt we could get good opportunities on the break. With the personnel that we have got we could cause Bournemouth a problem."
Bournemouth welcome Everton in the FA Cup fifth round before travelling to Watford in the league the following week.
Stoke have a week off before hosting bottom club Aston Villa on 27 February.

Raymond Russell, 34, was charged with being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug to another person and also drug possession.
He appeared in private at Jedburgh Sheriff Court where he made no plea or declaration and his case was continued.
Russell was released on bail pending his next court appearance.
He was one of two men arrested and charged following Operation Archerfish on Thursday.
Eight houses in Galashiels, Hawick, Kelso and Selkirk were searched during the investigation of people suspected of being involved in the sale of drugs.
A total of £1,200 was seized, as well as drugs with a street value in the region of £3,750.
Police Scotland say they are also looking for another man in connection with a cannabis cultivation. | A Galashiels man has appeared in court following a major drugs operation involving 100 police officers in the Borders. | 30453434 | [

With his side already 3-0 up, 36-year-old Terry slid and brought down Posh striker Lee Angol - and referee Kevin Friend decided he was the last man.
"You have to respect the decision, but in this case maybe we will do an appeal for this situation," said Conte.
The Blues' 4-1 third-round win was Terry's first start since October.
The defender, in his 19th season at Stamford Bridge, has played just six minutes since that 2-1 defeat by West Ham in the EFL Cup.
Terry's foul brought a straight red card, but as it was not violent conduct and he has not been dismissed before this season, he faces a one-game ban.
Should any Chelsea appeal not be successful, he will be suspended for their Premier League trip to champions Leicester on 14 January.

An "environmentally friendly" building with a cafe, gallery and shop is planned for the park near Wakefield.
Peter Murray, executive of the YSP, said it would provide an "important new element" of the park's infrastructure and increase its income.
Arts Council England has given £1.7m to the park and the remainder is to come from fundraising.
A planning application for a second visitor centre has been submitted to Wakefield Council and it is due for completion in late 2017.
The new building has been designed to make the minimum impact on the site, YSP said.
The latest project on the 500-acre estate follows the development of the main visitor centre in 2002, the underground gallery in 2006 and refurbishment of the estate chapel in 2011.
The park attracted more than 400,000 visitors in 2014 the highest number since it opened in 1977, it said.
The development plans were revealed as the park's latest sculpture Wave is being installed.
It is part of the installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red that was seen at the Tower of London in 2014 where 888,246 poppies honoured every death in the British and Colonial forces of World War One. | Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) has unveiled plans for a new £3.8m visitor centre at its Bretton Park entrance. | 34063212 | [

Trinity led 16-10 at the break after tries from former Cas centre Joe Arundel (2) and stand-off Jacob Miller.
Cas had mustered two first-half scores by Greg Minikin and Oliver Holmes
But they added six more after the break through Andre Savelio, Luke Gale, who also kicked seven goals, Junior Moors, Ryan Hampshire, Minikin and Holmes.
It was a debut try for forward Savelio, who only joined the Tigers on loan from St Helens on Wednesday, but Cas lost Rangi Chase with a back problem while Super League's leading try scorer winger Denny Solomona pulled out with food poisoning..
Wakefield, who lost centre Bill Tupou, second rower Jonny Molloy and loose forward Mickey Sio with injuries, managed just one score in the second half, from winger Reece Lyne, while Liam Finn failied to add to his two first-half kicks.
The Tigers' storming finish, in which they scored five tries in 22 minutes, secured a fourth successive derby win to climb a place into sixth above Wakefield.
Trinity drop to eighth thanks to Widnes beating fifth-placed Catalans, although they were all already guaranteed a top-eight finish ahead of the Super 8s split.
But for Salford's six-point deduction, the injury-hit Wildcats would have ended up in the Qualifiers.
Instead, they can now turn their attention to next Saturday's Challenge Cup semi-final against Warrington at Leigh Sports Village - and their bid to reach a first Wembley final for 37 years.
Wakefield coach Chris Chester:
"We had one guy fit on the bench for the last 35 minutes and that really hurt us. We had a front-rower (David Fifita) who played 65 minutes in the middle which was a great achievement.
"It was a good even contest for 50 minutes then we get a penalty, miss touch and we give a penalty away and concede. It took it away from us.
"I'm not overly disappointed because there was bags of effort out there but we just ran out of troops, and Castleford were too good for us.
"Bill came off with a hamstring injury, Jonny Molloy has got a pectoral issue and Mickey Sio got a sternum injury so those three couldn't come back."
Castleford coach Daryl Powell:
"It's been an incredible effort for us over 23 rounds. 14 players couldn't play today. It's been really tough.
"So for us to end up finishing sixth is an awesome achievement. I'm really proud of the players. We'll reap the rewards in the long run from what's happened this year."
"We were a bit helter-skelter at times but it was really pleasing how we grabbed the game in the second half.
"Savelio did really well. He's trained with us a couple of times and he handled himself really well. He's a good player. I've always rated him - and he fitted into our team really well."
Wakefield: Jowitt; Lyne, B Tupou, Arundel, Hall; Miller, Finn; Scruton, Sio, Fifita, Walton, Ashurst, Molloy.
Replacements: Crowther, Arona, Moules, A Tupou.
Castleford: Hampshire; Flynn, Crooks, O Holmes, Minikin; McShane, Gale; Springer, Milner, Patrick, Mariano, Millington, Moors.
Replacements: Savelio, T Holmes, Cook, Maher.

The match will be played at the SSE Arena in Belfast on Tuesday, 21 November 2017 and will see the Giants play a Colin Shields All Star select.
Glaswegian Shields, 37, first signed for the Giants in 2005 but had brief spells with Sheffield Steelers and the now defunct Newcastle Vipers.
The Great Britain international is Belfast's all-time leading goal scorer.
He has netted 208 goals in 517 games for the Giants.
Shields was selected 195th overall in the 2000 NHL draft by the Philadelphia Flyers and the Team GB regular has won two Elite League titles, the Challenge Cup and Play-offs with Belfast.
Last season Shields was named by the Elite League as the Best British Player thanks to 29 goals and 27 assists in 67 games played.
"Colin has played a part of some of the most famous moments in Giants history, including the 2010 Playoff championship as well as the Elite League titles in 2006 and 2014," said Steve Thornton, Head of Hockey Operations at the Belfast Giants.
Meanwhile the Giants have moved up 10 places from last year in the International Ice Hockey Federation's (IIHF) annual attendance study of European league ice hockey.
The Giants' average home gate was 4603 this season and they have now moved up to 70th in Europe, joining two other Elite League teams, the Nottingham Panthers (38th) and Sheffield Steelers (64th), in the top 100 of home gates for European clubs.
The Elite League (uk) has also moved up to the seventh best attended league in Europe, overtaking the Austrian EBEL. | The Belfast Giants have awarded a testimonial game to long-serving forward Colin Shields. | 39572746 | [

United, who registered only one shot on target, fell behind when Alejandro Dominguez diverted home Giannis Maniatis's effort before the break.
Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell's precise shot doubled the lead and the visitors only came to life late on.
Robin van Persie blazed over the top when they finally opened up the Greeks.
It would have been an injustice to the hosts had the Dutchman converted his late chance, however, after United's current limitations were exposed on a chastening night.
Olympiakos lead the Greek Super League by 20 points, having won 24 of 26 games, in sharp contrast to their opponents' increasingly forlorn Premier League title defence.
And, after reverses for Manchester City and Arsenal last week, the Greeks inflicted the third defeat of the round for English sides.
Olympiakos manager Michel had suggested before kick-off that United, whose best hope of passage into next year's Champions League appeared to be winning this season's competition, could fold under the pressure of knockout football.
The visitors, who were famously eliminated by Galatasaray in a similarly white-hot atmosphere in Istanbul in 1993, certainly fuelled the noisy home fans' enthusiasm with some early defensive wobbles.
Media playback is not supported on this device
After Rio Ferdinand had misplaced a couple of passes, a last-ditch challenge from Nemanja Vidic only just ended Dominguez's run after he had advanced into the area unchallenged.
Dominguez continued to orchestrate Olympiakos's attacks from an advanced midfield role and with Juan Mata cup-tied, Adnan Januzaj left out of the match-day squad and Rooney frustrated by the referee and his own performance, the visitors lacked a similarly commanding figure.
So it was fitting that it was the Argentine who opened the scoring.
Maniatis's trundling low shot posed little danger to United goalkeeper David De Gea, but Dominguez's outstretched foot cleverly diverted the ball into the opposite corner giving the Spaniard too much ground to make up.
United, who had lacked energy and invention, showed slightly more purpose before the break, but could not create any clear-cut chances, goalkeeper Roberto dealing competently with the visitors' crosses.
The last time that Manchester United overturned a two-goal deficit in Europe was when they beat Diego Maradona's Barcelona 3-0 at Old Trafford in March 1984 in the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup.
David Moyes's half-time team-talk needed to focus players' minds and change their tactics but neither was in evidence as Tom Cleverley knocked the ball out of play under no pressure soon after kick-off.
A goal down, the visitors had no room for further error and Campbell's superb curling effort, after he slipped Michael Carrick's flimsy challenge, threatened to cut them adrift in the tie.
Moyes introduced Shinji Kagawa and Danny Welbeck at the expense of Antonio Valencia and Cleverley, but it did little to change the momentum.
Michael Olaitan sent a shot fizzing just over as the hosts revelled in the space and uncertainty in United's defence.
Only in the final 10 minutes were United able to bring any pressure to bear, but, after two measured touches had given him a clear sight of goal, Van Persie crashed over the top with his weaker right foot from Chris Smalling's cross.
It summed up a miserable new episode in Moyes's faltering first season in charge. | Manchester United's Champions League campaign is in serious peril after they were comfortably beaten by Olympiakos in the last-16 first leg in Athens. | 26327283 | [

Two 16-year-olds, three men aged 19, 20 and 21, and a 15-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs.
Their arrests follow a week long crackdown on drug dealing in Gloucestershire.
Police have charged six people with drug offences following earlier raids in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Crawley.
Supt Richard Cooper says the operation was aimed at disrupting some of the major supply lines into the county: "It will come as no surprise that many of the drugs sold in Gloucestershire are brought in by dealers from places like London.
"It's the culmination of months of work by officers and we hope it will reassure local residents that police are taking the issue seriously". | Six people have been arrested in Cheltenham as part of a large-scale police operation into drug dealing in the county. | 37256291 | [

Profits fell to £14m compared with £32m a year earlier.
That fall is partly due to the costs of last year's serious cyber attack, which cost the company £42m.
Dido Harding, TalkTalk chief executive told the BBC: "We have significantly increased our spending on security. We take this extremely seriously."
Talktalk lost 101,000 subscribers in its third quarter after the attack, which resulted in the personal data of nearly 160,000 people being accessed.
The data haul netted email addresses, names and phone numbers. 21,000 unique bank account numbers and sort codes were accessed in the attack.
There have been six arrests in the UK connected with the hacking, all of them of individuals under 21 years old.
Ms Harding said: "I am actually very encouraged by the way the business has bounced back so strongly in the last quarter.
"The customer base has really stabilised and this is testimony to the fact that our customers really appreciated our open and honest approach and how we tried to look after them through the cyber attack."
She added that Talktalk's customer "churn" - the turnover of customers - has been the lowest in TalkTalk's history, suggesting customers are satisfied with the company's service.
TalkTalk says total revenues grew 2.4% to £1.83bn in the 12 months to 31 March. | Telephone and broadband provider Talktalk saw profits more than halve following a hack attack on its systems last October. | 36273449 | [

PC Gavin Smith, who appeared on Channel 5's Police Interceptors, died from cancer aged 34 on 15 February.
Mr Smith, who lived in Bishop Auckland with his wife Kezi and daughter Tilly, four, joined Durham Police in 2004.
Officers formed a guard of honour to accompany his cortege from Durham Market Square to the cathedral.
Insp Ed Turner of the roads policing unit said: "Gav was one of those characters who just put everybody at ease, no matter who was in his company.
"The station was always a more lively place when he was there. He had one of those infectious personalities.
"He would always put others before himself and right to the end he was focused on ensuring that Kezi and Tilly were OK and they would be provided for.
"In Gav we have not only lost a dedicated police officer, but a true friend."
He died at home surrounded by his family.
At the time, his widow Kezi said: "It has been a real comfort to both me and Tilly that he was so well regarded by so many.
"We will both miss him so very much." | The funeral of a police officer who appeared in a TV documentary series has been held at Durham Cathedral. | 39152150 | [

Chisako Kakehi was arrested in 2014 and went on trial in Kyoto late last month.
Her lawyers have pleaded not guilty on her behalf, and when her trial began she said only that she would "leave everything" to her defence team.
But in court, asked if she killed her husband, she said there was "no mistake", the Mainichi reported.
The 70-year-old said she committed the crime because her husband was not treating her well financially, and that she obtained the cyanide from a business associate.
"I wasn't given any money after I married him," the Japan Times quoted Ms Kakehi as telling the court on Monday. "I have no intention of hiding the guilt. I will laugh it off and die if I am sentenced to death tomorrow."
Prosecutors say Ms Kakehi targeted the men for their money and poisoned them all with cyanide.
The investigation began when Isao Kakehi, her fourth husband who she reportedly met via a match-making site, died on 28 December 2013, a month after they got married.
A post mortem examination subsequently found traces of cyanide in his body, and investigators then began examining the deaths of other men linked to the pensioner.
She is now on trial for murdering him and two other boyfriends, and the attempted murder and robbery of another boyfriend who later died of cancer.
The men were all aged between 70 and 80 when the alleged crimes took place between 2007-2013.
Ms Kakehi's three other husbands also all died, but she has not been charged in connection with their deaths.
Lawyers for Ms Kakehi say her testimony cannot be trusted, because she has mild dementia.
"Since she is suffering from dementia, she barely remembers things that happened recently let alone the incidents," her team was quoted as saying at the start of the trial, which is expected to continue until November.
Japanese press have dubbed Ms Kakehi a "black widow" - a term derived from the female spider that eats its partner after mating.
In April another Japanese woman, Kanae Kajima, who was convicted of killing three lovers, lost a final appeal against her death sentence at the Supreme Court. | A Japanese pensioner accused of killing three partners and attempting to murder a fourth has told a court that she fatally poisoned her husband. | 40568607 | [

The Princeton Review survey also placed Abertay ninth in the world for its postgraduate gaming courses.
The university was the first in the world in 1997 to offer degree level qualifications in computer games development.
The Princeton Review surveyed 150 institutions offering game design.
The University of Malta was the only other European institution to make either list, coming in at 23rd for postgraduate courses.
Prof Gregor White, head of Abertay's school of arts, media and computer games, said: "To be featured so highly in this prestigious ranking for a third consecutive year is testament to the hard work, dedication and excellence of my colleagues in the school and across the university.
"To make advances in both lists is an incredible achievement and is particularly pleasing in this anniversary year."
The survey included questions about academic offerings and faculty credentials to their graduates' starting salaries and employment experience.
Princeton Review editor in chief Robert Franek said: "Game design is an exciting field and programmes are springing up in colleges all over the world.
"As we continue to help students find the best programme for their needs and interests, we strongly recommend Abertay and each of the other schools that made our 2017 ranking lists." | Abertay University's computer gaming courses have been ranked the best in Europe for the third consecutive year in an annual college admissions survey. | 39368095 | [

Elias Kachunga had put Huddersfield ahead just four minutes earlier with his fifth goal of the season when he combined with Tommy Smith to fire home.
Nahki Wells then struck the bar before Jutkiewicz netted the equaliser after the hosts failed to clear David Cotterill's dangerous free-kick.
The draw kept Huddersfield third, while Birmingham moved up to seventh.
Huddersfield started much the brighter side and Birmingham goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak was forced to save long-range shots from Wells and Chris Lowe.
Kuszczak also held onto Jonathan Hogg's 30-yard effort before Smith skimmed the bar with a rising shot as Town dominated possession.
But the Blues came to life after Kachunga's opener with Jutkiewicz heading in after Jonathan Grounds kept the ball alive, and they could have won it when Ryan Shotton headed wide late on.
Huddersfield's second draw of the season means they have not won in nine home league meetings against Birmingham - a run stretching back to October 1996.
Huddersfield manager David Wagner: "I always feel we are able to score and we had some good opportunities.
"There was a clear penalty and the free-kick for the goal was not a foul in my opinion, but we have to accept that. Overall the performance was good.
"We know that if we stick together and show our identity on the pitch in every game we are competitive in this league."
Birmingham manager Gary Rowett: "I would certainly have taken a point after the first half. In the first half we didn't do enough and didn't show Championship quality.
"In the second half I thought we grew into the game and we made two brave attacking substitutions. That looked like a very good decision when we scored, but not so good afterwards.
"It was a good point gained and another point to build on after the Aston Villa result last week."

He made the pledge to the UN General Assembly in New York in 2012, saying Myanmar (also known as Burma) was on a path from which it would not backtrack. His visit to the United States was the first by a Burmese leader in 46 years.
Thein Sein, 67, took office in March 2011, after the country's first election in 20 years in November 2010. Since then, he has led a process of reform in Myanmar, ruled for decades by a military junta of which he was a key member.
Under his administration the government has freed hundreds of prisoners, including political detainees, embarked on peace deals with ethnic minority groups and relaxed media censorship.
He has been welcomed cautiously onto the world stage, despite warnings from critics that many key tests remain for Myanmar's reform process.
This warning was echoed in November 2014 by opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who said that the pace of reform had stalled.
Born in a small village in the delta of the Irrawaddy river, in an area now known as Ngapudaw township, Thein Sein was from a humble background. His parents were farmers, he said.
He graduated with an arts degree from Burma's military academy in 1968 and rose steadily through the ranks in his 40-year career.
He reached the leadership circle in the 1990s when he became a member of the State Peace and Development Council, as the junta called itself at the time.
He was made first secretary of the council after the downfall of former intelligence chief General Khin Nyunt in 2004. Thein Sein also chaired the National Convention, which drafted the country's new constitution.
When the previous prime minister, Soe Win, fell ill, Thein Sein was made acting prime minister in May 2007.
Confirmed in the post in October that year, he became the public face of the regime, representing it at Asean and UN meetings. He served as prime minister for four years.
In April 2010, like many other top junta officials, he swapped military uniform for civilian garb to form a political party.
It was Thein Sein who applied to register the United Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), which dominated the elections in November 2010 and has sweeping control of the parliament.
Analysts said at the time that his appointment was orchestrated by junta leader Than Shwe, who needed an acceptable face to front the country's transition.
"He won't rock the boat," said Aung Zaw, editor of the Thailand-based Irrawaddy magazine, speaking when he took office.
"He is not a fire-breathing dragon, so he doesn't pose any threat to Than Shwe, who will continue to exercise absolute power."
But once he took office, Thein Sein's government began a process of change that surprised his critics.
He met freed pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who subsequently chose to bring her NLD party back into the political process, having boycotted the November polls.
The NLD contested by-elections which were deemed by observers to be largely free and fair.
Over the years since her release Thein Sein appears to have developed a good working relationship with Ms Suu Kyi. Media reports made much of the fact that he met her, congratulated her on receiving the US Congressional Medal of Honor and referred to her as a Nobel laureate publicly.
Known to be quiet by nature, Thein Sein has engaged more with international media. He began a steady push for the West to lift sanctions, something he said was a necessity for democracy to thrive and the lives of Myanmar's people to improve.
"There is a quiet determination to him, he is quiet and soft-spoken but will not flinch from a question posed to him," Vijay Nambiar, the UN's top adviser on Myanmar, told Bloomberg.
Asked in a BBC interview whether he was afraid he would be swept away by the winds of change like Mikhail Gorbachev after the fall of the Soviet Union, Thein Sein answered: "I would like to say that Gorbachev and I are not alike, I tell you that.
''We are not making reforms because I want to. We are merely responding to the people's desire for reform. Therefore my future depends on the people and their wishes."
But he was clear that the military would always have a key role in politics. He also made no apology for its past actions, such as imprisoning dissidents and activists.
"They were acting on their beliefs and we were acting on our beliefs," he said. "Everyone was working for the country in their own way." | Myanmar's President Thein Sein, a former general, may go down in history as the man who led "irreversible change". | 12358204 | [

Sullay Kaikai opened the scoring for Shrewsbury with a low strike before Cody McDonald levelled from 20 yards.
Shrewsbury regained the lead through Andy Mangan's acrobatic finish before the Gills equalised again through Jake Hessenthaler's strike from distance.
The visitors' winner came when Jean-Louis Akpa Apro's fortuitous 81st-minute deflected effort found the net.
Gillingham sixth game without a win caused them to slip out of League One's top six, leapfrogged by Barnsley.
At the other end of the table, Shrewsbury ended their run of seven games without a win to go four points clear of the relegation zone with a game in hand. | Shrewsbury gave their survival hopes a huge boost with victory at Gillingham, who drop out of the play-off places. | 36060779 | [

Smith was named captain of the Red Rose for the 2015 season, but only skippered the team in one game after being told he needed back surgery.
The injury kept him out for 13 months but he came back to feature in the final months of last season, only for back problems to return.
"It's very sad and a tough decision to come to," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"Following some medical advice from the specialist and thinking about the long term future it has come because of injury.
"The highs of lows of the past two years from captain to not playing, to surgery, to back playing, to retiring but ultimately it has taken its toll. My long-term health has taken priority."
The club have announced that Smith will stay at Old Trafford to assist academy director Gary Yates in helping bring young players through their system.
BBC Radio Lancashire cricket reporter Scott Read:
"Tom Smith can look back on his career with a great deal of pride for both his performances on the field Lancashire and for the courage he showed off it.
"He fought hard to return from injury last season, an injury which robbed him of the captaincy in 2015.
"A genuine all-rounder, who consistency with the bowl and skill with the bat saw him named the club's player of the year after a stellar 2014.
"He'll be admired and respected at Old Trafford in equal measure both as a player and a person." | Lancashire all-rounder Tom Smith has announced his retirement at the age of 31 after a series of injury problems. | 38736359 | [

This time the poll was held under a new constitution, designed to prevent a repeat of that violence when more than 1,000 people died when supporters of rival candidates clashed.
They have been choosing a president, members of parliament and senators, the new posts of county governors and members of county assemblies. The presidential contest is seen as a two-horse race between Prime Minister Raila Odinga against Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta.
BBC correspondents around the country sum up how the voting went.
The queues in some places stretched for more than a kilometre, as voters in Kibera stood patiently in line.
The neighbourhood is one of Nairobi's largest slums. It is the constituency of Raila Odinga, one of the favourites for the presidential contest and the scene of some of the worst violence following the last election in 2007.
Today, many had arrived before dawn, waiting patiently in line, sometimes for hours.
Voters cast their ballots into colour-coded boxes - six each - for a variety of different representatives, local and national.
The memories of five years ago are still fresh and, as the campaign drew to a close, a sense of apprehension was palpable.
Police talked of conspiracies to cause chaos and warned that violence would be met in kind.
But, in Kibera at least, as the sun grew hotter and the umbrellas came out, the mood was up-beat.
"Peace, peace," one crowd shouted as a truck of paramilitary police trundled past.
We came across a man with dreadlocks and a pot of white paint. His message, "Peace wanted alive", can be seen daubed on walls and roads around the neighbourhood.
The real test of peace, though, is likely to come once all the ballots have been cast, and the results start coming in.
As the sun begins to set, the heat is easing and some polling stations are still open after the official closing time of 17:00, with queues of people determined to cast their vote.
Tensions have been running high in this insecure and arid region near the Somali border and there has been a heavy security presence at the polling stations - with between five and 10 armed police officers on guard.
On Sunday night one people died in an explosion and another person was shot dead in what is believed to be election-related violence.
Some people began queuing at 05:00 - an hour before the polls opened.
But there has been frustration in the long queues, with some buying water to pour over their heads to cool themselves down and others sitting under umbrellas.
The biometric voter ID systems have not worked at the polling stations in this north-eastern town so electoral officials have had to resort to the manual voters registers. The computerised fingerprint and facial identification was introduced after the last election to prevent fraud.
This slowed the whole process down, as has the fact that about 60% of voters have needed assistance to cast their ballot as they are illiterate.
One woman with a baby on her back told me that after waiting until she got to the front of the queue, she found her name was not on the roll, even though she had a voter registration card.
Hundreds of people ended up giving up.
One man who could not find his name after lining up in three queues over 12 hours told me he was going home without voting.
In the centre of Mombasa many people lined up from 05:00 to ensure their place in the queue and avoid the sweltering temperatures that characterise the coast.
A cluster of white gazebos went some way to protect the early voters from the sun and the six colour-coded ballot boxes that sheltered beneath.
Nearly half a million voters are registered in Kenya's second city, with another half a million making up the surrounding counties.
This is historically "opposition" territory but under the complex arithmetic of the presidential vote, the candidates cannot afford to ignore this part of the country.
Many voters queuing patiently described it as an "historic day" - the first time Kenyans are voting under a new constitution.
But further along the coast, election day was marred by technical hitches and sporadic violence in a handful of flashpoints.
Faulty biometric voting kits caused delays in Mombasa West.
In Changamwe, half an hour's drive from the city, four police officers were hacked to death with machetes by a gang, who the authorities claim were members of the separatist Mombasa Revolutionary Council (MRC).
The group had urged voters to boycott the polls in protest at what they see as the marginalisation of Mombasa, but few seemed to heed that call.
The crowds outside Changamwe's main polling station had swollen to several hundred by midafternoon: Women with their babies strapped to their backs and men with beads of sweat running down their brow, seemingly undeterred by the attack that took place shortly before polls opened.
Many people in the crowd outside Changamwe Social Hall which was turned into the local polling station seemed unconvinced that the group was to blame.
Kenya has had a long history of violent elections and areas deemed to be opposition strongholds like this, are used to what people describe as "powerful forces" seeking to scare people away from the polls. But this time there is a palpable determination to prove to the world that Kenya is on a new democratic path.
A whistle stop tour by the new Inspector General of police to the "scene of the crime" helped to provide reassurance in what has otherwise been a peaceful poll.
Too busy tweeting to vote?

There were also disturbances in the town of Kilifi, where two civilians were among six shot dead.
Although the violence that flared up was in isolated areas, it got Khalef Kalifa from Muslims for Human Rights anxious.As an election observer he said police seemed "ill prepared" for any clashes and that in some polling stations computers were not working and "in one polling station a voter had to come and show the presiding offer how to use the computer".
But election officials promised voters they would keep the polling stations open to compensate for earlier delays.
By the time the evening call to prayer could bear heard echoing out from the mosques of Mombasa, Festus Mwanzia was number 27 in the queue. He had waited patiently in line for nearly 12 hours.
"I'll be home by 10," he chirped confidently. "Just in time to catch the results on TV."
Many people here know the biggest test is yet to come once the tallying gets under way.
In the western town of Eldoret, the provincial capital of the Rift Valley where much of the post-election violence occurred following the December 2007 election, voting started early in the morning with enthusiastic voters arriving as early as 05:00.
There were long queues, some stretching for a kilometre.
At the MV Patel polling station which has the highest number of registered voters in the region, people complained that the process was too slow.
In Shinyalu, in the rural Kakamega district - between Eldoret and Kisumu - the area's former member of parliament, Justus Kizito, was ambushed in the early hours of the morning and his Range Rover was burnt to ashes.
He says the attack was political and forced to flee for fear of his life before the mob set the vehicle on fire.
At Kosachei Primary School near Eldoret, William Ruto, a suspect at the International Criminal Court from the Kalenjin community and running mate to presidential candidate and fellow indictee Uhuru Kenyatta, a Kikuyu, cast his vote at 07:30.
Afterwards he told me that should their Jubilee coalition win, they would co-operate with the ICC in the hope of clearing their names. The two, who were rivals during the last poll, both deny charges of orchestrating the violence following the 2007 vote.
At the Kiambaa polling station - just a stone's throw from the ill-fated church where more than 40 Kikuyu people who had sought shelter there were burnt alive on 1 January 2008, when it was set ablaze by a mob of armed Kalenjin youth - most voters were happy to have cast their ballots in peace.
Paty Chelegat, a Kalenjin mother of two, told the BBC: "There is peace in Kiambaa area and indeed the entire Uasin Gishu county and my joy is that I have voted peacefully and [I am] hoping that all will be well even after the results are announced."
Peter Kariuki, a father of four, said despite losing his relatives in the Kiambaa church fire, he is encouraged with the prevailing peace existing among the various communities that used not to see eye to eye.
"I am very happy because this vote is a new beginning to residents of Kiambaa and Eldoret," he said.
I was awoken in this lakeside city, a stronghold of presidential candidate Raila Odinga, at 02:15 by people blowing vuvuzelas - their alarm call to get people down to the polling stations early.
By 04:00 - two hours before the polls opened - thousands of people were already queuing.
There was a little tension at one polling station when it did not open on time and voters forced the gate open, but officials restored order and voting began.
Women with babies or who were pregnant were able to get to the front on the winding line.
At one polling station a woman stuffed a baby blanket under her dress so that she could pass for pregnant and be given priority to vote, but her belly ruse did not work.
After that women in the slum of Kondele were asked to breastfeed their children to prove the offspring are theirs in order to jump the queues.
Kondele, where there are high rates of unemployment, has a history of electoral violence with rival local politicians often using youths to cause trouble.
A 56-year-old man in Kondele told me it was the first time he had ever witnessed a peaceful election in the slum.
Mr Odinga's Cord alliance has been urging people not to drink alcohol and on the eve of the vote most bars in Kisumu were closed.
The majority of businesses have also been shut today and after voting people followed advice to go home instead of hanging around in groups to watch the proceedings.
It is hard to believe given the huge crowds earlier on but electoral officials in Kondele were already tallying the votes just an hour after the polls were due to close at 17:00.
After being counted, the ballots will be taken to a central place in the city before being transferred to Nairobi.
People came out in huge numbers to vote, some queuing in the chilly morning from 03:00.
There were complaints about the slow process of casting the six ballots, but voters remained jovial.
"I've waited five hours - I can wait 50 more," one man told me.
"I will not leave before voting, come rain, sun, hunger or sleep."
Nakuru is a cosmopolitan area, though it turned into an ethnic battle field between two rival communities, the Kalenjins and Kikuyus, after the last election.
"We will redeem the image of Nakuru, what happened in 2007 will not happen again. We have learnt our lesson," a 29-year-old woman told me.
Some people travelled long distances to vote, one man at the Afraha stadium - where the line was twice the length of a football pitch - had returned home from Uganda where he works.
The biometric ID systems malfunctioned at most polling stations, which caused delays.
One person, who joined a queue at 03:00 eventually voted at 11:00 because he was searching for his name on the paper voters' register - it was only at the front of the third queue that he was eventually successful.
Despite the delays, everyone got a chance to vote and polling stations closed as planned at 17:00 local time (14:00 GMT).
Most people have returned home, to follow the counting process on TV or radio.
The usually busy city centre is deserted, with no cars or pedestrians.
Even the curio stalls popular with tourists coming to see the flamingos at nearby Lake Nakuru are closed.
I came across only one restaurant that is open.
Trucks full of police can be seen patrolling everywhere in this town - an agricultural centre in the Rift Valley.
But people I spoke to say they do not expect any violence once results come out, as efforts to achieve reconciliation between communities that were pitted against each other after the 2007 election have been successful. | Kenyans have been voting in a key election - the first since the disputed contest of December 2007 that triggered weeks of bloodshed. | 21652947 | [

Spending on the NHS should also be paid for by a dedicated tax marked on every payslip, the former health minister suggested.
Under Mr Lamb's plan, taxes would not be increased as the new levy would be offset by deductions to income tax or national insurance.
He has warned the NHS faces collapse without an urgent cash injection.
The plans are not yet party policy and will not be put to this year's conference in Bournemouth.
But Mr Lamb, the party's health spokesman, told party members he was "very interested in the idea of a dedicated NHS and care contribution - separating it out from the rest of taxation, clearly identified on your payslip.
"And I am really interested in the idea of the right for local areas to raise additional funds for the NHS and care if they choose."
The Lib Dems say he would like to implement the ideas across the UK, although, as health and social care are devolved, it is unclear how this would be enforced.
Mr Lamb - who lost out to Tim Farron in a leadership election in July - proposes a cross-party commission to explore the ideas. He intends to consult health bodies and professionals, patients, trade unions and academics.
Ministers have pledged £2bn in this financial year for the NHS, and an extra £8bn by 2020.
But Mr Lamb told the BBC that this was insufficient and, having "seen the books" as a minister in the last government, he feared the NHS could face a funding shortfall of £30bn by 2020.
"The bottom line is with rising demand because of an ageing population we need more investment," he said.
Mr Lamb also warned that the social care system was "on its knees" and could collapse without a cash injection of £5bn.
"I've been in the department. I have seen the books and I am deeply concerned. If we carry on regardless, the system will crash."
Taxpayers are already shown how much they have contributed to the health service in annual personal tax statements.
An attempt to establish a cross-party commission on social care before the 2010 election - led in part by Mr Lamb - collapsed in acrimony. | English councils should be allowed to put up taxes to fund the NHS, Norman Lamb has told the Lib Dem conference. | 34320419 | [

Wales wing Hallam Amos scored two fine tries in the second half while Dorian Jones kicked five points for the hosts.
But Hamish Watson's touchdown, plus eight points from Sam Hidalgo-Clyne and a penalty from Blair Kinghorn, proved enough for the visitors.
Edinburgh move to within four points of rivals Glasgow in sixth, though the Warriors have a game in hand.
The Dragons had 20-year-old Wales centre Tyler Morgan and fly-half Dorian Jones back from long-term injuries, while Taulupe Faletau returned from Wales duties.
Edinburgh scrum-half Hidalgo-Clyne was making his 50th appearance while the visitors also paraded their Scotland front row.
On a muddy surface, the first half produced only penalties, with two from Hidalgo-Clyne and one from Kinghorn on target for the visitors, while Jones kicked one for the Dragons.
Flanker Watson wasted a golden chance for the Scots after 24 minutes as he went for the line rather than using the men free outside.
The Dragons started the second half at a higher tempo and after barely a minute, Amos sprinted through a gap to score with Jones' conversion giving them the lead.
But Edinburgh struck back in their next attack as Watson wrestled his way over from a line-out drive and Hidalgo-Clyne put over the angled kick.
Amos then produced a superb finish from 30 metres out when given an overlap from man-of-the-match Faletau's pass.
But that unconverted score after 53 minutes proved to be the last of the match.
Edinburgh kept the Dragons pinned in their own half in the final quarter but Hidalgo-Clyne was off target with two more penalty attempts as they failed to make their pressure pay.
It was the Welsh side's ninth losing bonus point of the season, including five in the last six matches.
Dragons host Ospreys on Friday in their final game at Rodney Parade this season, before their European Challenge Cup quarter-final at Gloucester on 9 April, while Edinburgh host Zebre on Friday.

Washing his own training kit and playing on sloping pitches is a world away from the life to which he had become accustomed during his career, much of which was spent in England's top two divisions.
As recently as March, the 32-year-old was scoring goals in the Championship in front of thousands, but on Saturday he could take to the pitch in front of hundreds as Conference South side Maidenhead host Gosport Borough in the FA Cup third qualifying round.
But Campbell will not be turning out for a team that plays in the sixth tier of English football because his career is on a downward spiral.
The former Birmingham and Queens Park Rangers player is at Maidenhead to rediscover his love for the game, having come close to retiring after being wrongly implicated in a match-fixing scandal.
The toughest period of his career began one December morning last year, when a knock at the door at Campbell's home preceded a dramatic arrest in front of his family, and did not end until nine months later when he was finally cleared of any wrongdoing.
"The whole situation was a joke and obviously depressing," says Campbell.
"It was difficult because after all I had worked for, it tarnished my name and even now you still have managers saying this and that.
"But I can't change any of that, all I can do is focus on getting back to where I was. Hopefully I can do that."
Campbell was one of six people arrested in connection with allegations of fixing in football matches, which came after ex-Portsmouth defender Sam Sodje allegedly told an undercover newspaper reporter he could arrange yellow and red cards in exchange for cash. Sodje was later cleared.
Released on bail following his arrest, Campbell tried to focus on his football, but he was loaned by Blackburn to Millwall in January before leaving the Ewood Park club by mutual consent in July.
It was the culmination of a difficult time in Campbell's life.
Having climbed from non-league to the Premier League with Birmingham, QPR and Blackpool, an increasing number of injuries in recent years - coupled with the spectre of the match-fixing allegations hanging over him - almost became too much for Campbell.
"It was all new things to deal with and my dad passed at the same time while the match-fixing rubbish came up, so it was a lot to handle," he says.
"I got to the point where I thought 'what is the point?' I didn't need all these problems and for what?
"But at the same time I reflected on my career.
"I had done a lot to come from nothing and really make something of myself, why would I throw it all away because of this?
"There were plenty of people in a worse position than me who would love to play football, so I just decided to get on with it and do what I love."
After leaving Blackburn, Campbell hired a personal trainer and took to training on his own in a park.
It was during that time he received a call from current Maidenhead boss Johnson Hippolyte - Campbell's friend, mentor and former manager at non-league Yeading, one of the striker's first clubs, over a decade ago.
Campbell credits Hippolyte, "Drax" to those who know him, as the man who kick-started his career, having convinced him not to quit football as a teenager after being released by Aston Villa.
Consequently, when Hippolyte made a tongue-in-cheek comment about joining Maidenhead, Campbell took it more seriously.
"I was waiting for the right club to come along," continues Campbell. "But as time went by I thought about it more and more, and in the end thought 'why not?'
"The move will have surprised a lot of people but if there was anyone I was going to play for at this level it would be Drax, we have a lot of history together."
There was, though, the issue of wages. Maidenhead clearly had no chance of offering Campbell the kind of money he had been accustomed to during his Premier League and Championship days.
But the discussion never came up.
"It is not all about the money," Campbell says. "It is about being happy and I have not been happy the last few years with all that has gone on.
"It is easy to think all footballers are motivated by money, and I could have signed for a club and just sat on the bench and taken a wage but I decided not to do that.
"I've decided to play for Drax and get back to doing what I love doing."
Hippolyte adds: "He is not getting paid at all.
"The players were really keen for him to stay and play for Maidenhead when he was initially just training with us, so much so that they offered a whip-round for him.
"But it was never about the money for DJ, he just wants to play and enjoy himself again, and we want for him to show that he is still hungry and still has the ability."
That ability is clearly still there.
In front of a crowd of about 400, Campbell scored on his debut last month as Maidenhead beat Faversham Town 4-0 to progress to the FA Cup third qualifying round.
To grab a goal in the competition, with Hippolyte watching on from the dugout, will reignite memories of the famous FA Cup run the pair enjoyed at Yeading back in the 2004-05 season.
Campbell scored seven goals in the competition to help Yeading reach the third round, where they lost 2-0 to Newcastle.
But, having held out impressively for 50 minutes against the Premier League side, with the game broadcast to millions on BBC One, Campbell caught the eye, with Brentford giving the then 24-year-old his first chance in professional football.
From then on he flourished, scoring 12 goals in six months - including a double in a 2-1 win against Sunderland in the FA Cup which earned him a move to Birmingham City, then playing in the Premier League.
"The FA Cup really put me in the shop window," remembers Campbell.
"It made me get noticed because in those days it was tough for non-league players, not many got the chance they seem to do now.
"My form in the competition helped get me my move to Brentford. I continued to score lots there and Birmingham manager Steve Bruce was in the crowd when we played Sunderland in the FA Cup.
"I think he was looking at another player, but I scored twice and caught his eye, so that was a blessing."
With just two qualifying rounds remaining in this season's competition before the first round proper, Campbell hopes to be able to score the goals that could help Maidenhead replicate Yeading's famous FA Cup run from a decade ago.
But regardless of whether the Magpies can achieve that, Hippolyte, remembering the talented 16-year-old he first spotted playing in a park near his home, hopes Campbell will not be around long enough to be part of it.
"I really wish Saturday is his last game," he says.
"In a perfect world he will play for us, score in the FA Cup and get us through and get his move on Monday.
"As much as I would love to keep him here, as a father figure he should not be playing anywhere near this level."
Considering the FA Cup arguably made his career in professional football, it would only be fitting if the competition now resurrected it. | When DJ Campbell stepped out onto the Ewood Park pitch for Blackburn in October 2013, the striker - then earning a reported £25,000 a week - did not expect he would be playing for free at non-league side Maidenhead United barely 12 months later. | 29546542 | [

The 22-year-old midfielder returns to his native Denmark, having been unable to establish himself as a first-team regular since his arrival from FC Midtjylland in January 2012.
He made his Fulham debut in 2014 and played a total of 68 games for the club, scoring seven goals.
Christensen ended last season on loan at Burton Albion, along with Fulham forward Cauley Woodrow.
He featured for Denmark in this summer's European Under-21 Championship.

The 33-year-old was injured at Colchester police station in Essex during a struggle when he grabbed hold of a toilet bowl in his cell.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has started an investigation into the incident.
It is believed seven Essex Police officers will be questioned. The force has not commented.
It is thought the IPCC will investigate claims the man was handcuffed after his fingers were severed, and allegations of a significant time delay in taking him to hospital.
The prisoner, who lost part of three fingers on his left hand, was taken to hospital following the incident on 1 May.
He had been taken into custody in connection with a public order incident.
A spokesman for the IPCC said: "The Independent Police Complaints Commission is to independently investigate an incident at Colchester Police Station on May 1, 2015 where a man suffered serious hand injuries while in custody.
"Further information is likely to be published in due course." | A police force is being investigated after a prisoner had three fingers severed while in custody. | 32896655 | [

Sylvia Blackburn, 72, suffered serious head injuries outside Bedford Road Lower School, Kempston, on 19 December 2014.
Luton Crown Court heard Brian Wright, 55, of Kempston, said he was unable to see at the point of impact.
He denies causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Prosecutor Sally Mealing-McLeod said Mrs Blackburn, a lollipop lady for 20 years, had been on duty in Bedford Road as pupils were leaving school on the last day of term.
She was wearing a long-sleeved high-visibility orange and yellow coat which had reflective strips and "school crossing patrol" written on the back.
When the traffic lights turned red, she stepped out to escort a woman and her six-year-old daughter across the road.
Traffic travelling in the opposite direction stopped, but Mr Wright's VW Golf failed to stop and hit her at 14mph, the jury heard.
Witnesses described Mrs Blackburn's head hitting the screen pillar of the windscreen before she struck the wing mirror and then the road.
The married mother of three was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
She was later transferred to Bedford Hospital and is now at a residential care home for people with an acquired brain injury.
Mr Wright, of The Dell, declined to comment in police interview but in a statement said he was blinded by the setting sun and lowered his visor but was unable to see when the collision happened.
The court heard the sun was 10 minutes from setting and could have been shining into Mr Wright's eyes.
Ms Mealing-McLeod told the jury that if his vision had been affected he should have stopped.
The trial continues. | A driver "blinded" by the sun drove through a red light at a pedestrian crossing and knocked down a lollipop lady, a jury has heard. | 35031554 | [

Duffy, 57, was charged with misconduct for entering the Hibs technical area at Easter Road on 29 March and adopting an aggressive attitude towards Lennon.
The same complaint against assistant Craig McPherson was withdrawn.
Duffy faces an additional one-game ban if he transgresses again in 2017, while Morton were fined £500 for the stoppage-time fracas.
The Greenock club will need to pay another £250 in the event of a further breach of disciplinary rule 204, with the charge stating, "three or more players and/or members of staff" were "involved in a confrontation with opposing players and/or staff".
Lennon postponed his hearing due to the non-availability of Hibernian's solicitor. His case will be heard on 25 April.
The Hibs boss faces three charges of "adopting an aggressive attitude" to Morton striker Kudus Oyenuga, Duffy and the match officials.
Tempers flared during the Championship 0-0 draw after Oyenuga was dismissed for a foul on Hibs defender Jordon Forster right in front of the home dugout.
Hibs' Darren McGregor was also red carded for confronting Oyenuga, who fell to the ground, but that was later reduced to a booking after an appeal against referee Nick Walsh's decision. | Morton manager Jim Duffy will serve a two-match ban following his touchline altercation with Hibs boss Neil Lennon. | 39656698 | [

The Whitesands project would see the creation of a raised walkway along the waterfront area.
The scheme has been revised a number of times to address public concerns about the river view and loss of car parking.
Last year an estimate of project costs put the overall bill at between £15m and £17.8m.
The Scottish government would provide 80% of the funding for the scheme with the remainder coming from Dumfries and Galloway Council.
It has already approved nearly £4.5m towards the project which means it has a maximum of about £500,000 to find.
A report to the local authority will ask it to agree that the project be officially published and adopted as a flood protections scheme.
It cites a range of reasons for the increased costs which include:
The council has spent nearly a year refining the scheme which it said had produced a range of "positive developments".
Those actions include:
Councillor Colin Smyth said: "I am pleased that we are now at the stage to seek committee agreement to commence the formal process of publishing the Whitesands project as a flood protection scheme.
"It is unacceptable that the largest town in our region continues to flood.
"That is why all councillors agreed for a flood protection and regeneration scheme to be progressed for the Whitesands, demonstrating the need for change and putting an end to the regular flooding that has plagued our regional capital for too long."
He added that it was more than a flood protection scheme and could create a "high quality public open space" to encourage the use of the Whitesands. | A major flood protection scheme in Dumfries is set to make a step forward but has seen its cost estimate rise significantly to £25m. | 38306162 | [

His rival Yvette Cooper has called the war "wrong" while Andy Burnham has referred to it as "an incredibly difficult period" but said respect should be given to those who made difficult decisions. Liz Kendall was not an MP at the time Parliament voted to take action but has been quoted as saying the "ghost of Iraq has haunted politicians in this country" across the political spectrum.
But what have the political leaders with direct involvement in the conflict had to say about their decisions?
Tony Blair
Tony Blair has been dogged by his decision to take the UK to war in Iraq but has not apologised for his decision to go to war or said he made a mistake.
While giving evidence at the Iraq inquiry in 2011 the former prime minister said he "regretted deeply and profoundly the loss of life" during and after the 2003 conflict.
But his sentiment was not well received at the time as members of the public gallery heckled him with cries of "too late".
A year earlier, he had said the Iraq war made the world a safer place and although he was "sorry" it had been "divisive" he believed it had been right to remove Saddam Hussein.
In his memoir The Journey, Mr Blair wrote: "I can't say sorry in words. I can only hope to redeem something from the tragedy of death, in the actions of a life, my life, that continues still."
Gordon Brown
At the start of Gordon Brown's tenure in 2007 British troops were still in Iraq. Mr Brown said he would learn lessons from mistakes made in Iraq but he did not make any formal apologies during his time as leader.
He has also said he empathises with those who lost family members in the conflict but he told the Iraq inquiry he believed the war had been "right" and said he had been convinced by intelligence services that Iraq was a threat that "had to be dealt with".
Ed Miliband
Ed Miliband has gone the furthest in apologising on behalf of the Labour party.
At the 2010 party conference, in his first speech as Labour leader he said it had been "wrong" to go to war.
Mr Miliband, who was not an MP in 2003 when Parliament voted to approve British involvement in Iraq, said: "I criticise nobody faced with making the toughest of decisions and I honour our troops who fought and died there. But I do believe that we were wrong. Wrong to take Britain to war and we need to be honest about that."
George W Bush
President George W Bush has never apologised for his decision to take the US into war with Iraq.
Ten years on from the conflict the former US president told a US newspaper "I am comfortable with what I did".
"I'm confident the decisions were made the right way," Mr Bush said. "It's easy to forget what life was like when the decision was made."
His brother Jeb Bush who is a prospective Republican presidential candidate has recently raised some eyebrows when he responded "yes" to a question about whether he would have approved the 2003 invasion of Iraq "knowing what we know now".
Colin Powell
Colin Powell, the former US Secretary of State, supported the decision to invade Iraq despite having reservations. But he has repeatedly come under fire for his role in building the case for conflict.
"I wanted to avoid a war," he said in an interview in 2008. "The president agreed with me. We tried to do that. We couldn't get it through the UN and when the president made the decision, I supported that decision. And I've never blinked from that. I've never said I didn't support a decision to go to war."
He has never publically apologised for the decision but he has said he regrets providing misleading evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, calling it "a failure" and "a blot on his record". | Jeremy Corbyn has vowed to make a formal apology for the Iraq war if he becomes the next leader of the Labour party. | 34015478 | [

The 21-year-old, who has appeared 82 times for Brighton, played five games on loan at Karl Robinson's Championship strugglers earlier this campaign.
The England Under-21 international is eligible for Saturday's FA Cup third-round match against Northampton Town.
"I've been here before, I know what the club is all about and I just can't wait to get started," he said.
Robinson added to the club website: "I felt he was a real success in his first spell with us earlier this season and this was highlighted when we looked back and saw he was the top of our attacking stats for a midfield player.
"When he was here before, Darren Potter wasn't fit and Samir Carruthers wasn't playing in central midfield and, as a group, this time around I'm sure they will offer good balance."

Malaysia's attorney general cleared Mr Najib of allegations of corruption on Tuesday after ruling that the money was a donation from the Saudi royal family.
Mr Najib had denied that the money came from state investment fund 1MDB.
The Saudi source said the donation was made amid concern in Riyadh about the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood.
At the time, Malaysia's opposition alliance included the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS). Its founders were inspired by the Brotherhood, although there is little evidence the Brotherhood actually has much support in Malaysia.
Mr Najib's coalition went on to win the election, but with one of its poorest showings in more than 50 years in power.
Malaysia's 'mysterious millions' - case solved?
1MDB: The case riveting Malaysia
Profile: Najib Razak
The secretive donation to Mr Najib was allegedly paid over in several wire transfers between late March 2013 and early April 2013, just ahead of the election on 5 May.
The well-placed Saudi source, who has asked not to be named, told the BBC the payment was authorised from the very top - from Saudi Arabia's late King Abdullah - with funds coming from both his personal finances and state funds.
Prince Turki bin Abdullah, one of the king's sons, is reported to have had extensive business dealings in Malaysia.
The purpose of the donation was simple, said the Saudi source - it was to help Mr Najib and his coalition win the election, employing a strategic communications team with international experience, focusing on the province of Sarawak, and funding social programmes through party campaigning.
But why should the Saudis care about an election in a non-Arab country more than 6,000 km (3,700 miles) away? The answer, the source said, lay in their concerns over the rising power of the Muslim Brotherhood, which they consider a terrorist organisation.
The Saudis were already upset at events in Egypt, where President Mohammed Morsi was busy consolidating the Brotherhood's hold on the country.
It would be another three months before Mr Morsi was to be deposed by the army, and the Saudis were convinced that the opposition was being supported by the Brotherhood and Qatar, which backed the Brotherhood and other Islamist groups in the Middle East.
So how unusual is it for the Saudi royal family to hand over this amount of cash in a personal donation? Not at all, said the Saudi insider, adding that Jordan, Morocco, Egypt and Sudan have all been beneficiaries of multi-$100m donations from the Saudi royal purse.
"There is nothing unusual about this donation to Malaysia," he said. "It is very similar to how the Saudis operate in a number of countries."
Saudi Arabia was quick to support the overthrow of Mr Morsi in Egypt, providing the military-backed government with billions of dollars in aid and loans.
Jordan has been the beneficiary of more than $1bn in Saudi development funding, while Riyadh has deposited more than $1bn in Sudan's central bank and signed deals to finance dams on the Nile. Morocco has been provided with oil, financing, investments and jobs in recent years.
However, questions are still being asked about the secretive and convoluted nature of the money transfer, and the fact that Malaysia's prime minister returned 91% of it just four months later. The remaining $61m has not been accounted for.
A British corporate investigator with extensive experience of the Middle East told the BBC that the $681m was paid through the Singapore branch of a Swiss bank owned by the rulers of Abu Dhabi.
"It is very murky", he said. "This case will never be fully cleared up until the Saudis and the Malaysians release all the transaction data, and that has not happened."
There has been growing outrage in some circles in Malaysia that the attorney-general has closed the file on this case and cleared the prime minister of any offences.
Clare Rewcastle Brown, who has reported extensively on the issue for the Sarawak Report, said the claim that the payment to Mr Najib was a Saudi royal donation for political purposes needed to be treated "with considerable caution".
She told the BBC that the $681m was far more likely to be connected to money raised by 1MDB, much of which is reported to have gone missing. | The $681m (£479m) deposited in the bank account of Malaysian PM Najib Razak by Saudi Arabia was to help him win the 2013 elections, a Saudi source says. | 35409424 | [

Officers from Police Scotland alerted Benbecula Community Council to the scam at a meeting of the council earlier this week.
Sent from Italy, the email involves a fake story about an African man trying to transfer his inheritance to a new account after his father was poisoned.
The use of Gaelic in the email is poor, according to speakers on the isles.
Benbecula Community Council believed the email may have been written using online tool, Google Translate.
Scots Gaelic was added to the service in February this year. | What is believed to be the first email scam using Gaelic has been targeted at residents of the Western Isles. | 36286053 | [

Imran Khawaja tried to sneak back into the UK last year - and while his exact activity in Syria remains a mystery, police say he is one of the most dangerous British jihadists to return from conflict.
He was one of the most public British fighters in Syria - always online, but always masked.
But now, Imran Khawaja, 27, from Southall, west London is facing a possible prison term up to life imprisonment for his role in life and death on Syria's battlefields.
Khawaja left the UK last January. He called himself Abu Daigham al-Britani. And after reaching the warzone via Kurdish territory, he began posting videos and pictures of his personal jihad.
In one video he explains how a fellow fighter was shot through the side - but "thanks to Allah's will" was soon back on the front line. In another - masked again - he is showing off his amateur weight-lifting skills as his brothers-in-arms cheer him on.
Khawaja was a member of Rayat al Tawheed - which means Flag of Unity. The group of fighters affiliated to Islamic State includes many British men, and they have spent more than a year selling a message to their supporters and would-be recruits back home.
Khawaja was involved in appeals for donations, video diaries of their lives and "through the keyhole" tours of fighters' quarters.
Shiraz Maher, of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR), at Kings College London, has been tracking foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq.
He says: "The group that Khawaja was with in Syria was really quite dynamic," he says. "They clearly had people with programming skills - they were able to put together very slick, well produced propaganda videos and posters that appealed to young British Muslims.
"They were able to play on the same cultural anchors and mores that those people recognised and know. They could speak to them as peers.
"Rayat al Tawheed helped a great deal in the early stages of this conflict with portraying the idea of volunteering as a jihadist as quite a glamorous adventurous thing - and a noble thing."
But Rayat's war was neither noble nor glamorous. Some of its material online showed gruesome scenes of death. One image showed a man's bloodied-hands with the caption "my first time".
And another shocking image included Imran Khawaja. In this gruesome picture, the Londoner - masked yet again - is holding a bag that contains a head.
The only thing we know about the victim is that he was supposedly a Syrian army soldier. But we do know that the British security service MI5 was watching - and waiting.
And last June, its opportunity came.
Imran Khawaja decided to come home. It's not clear why because he hasn't told the police.
His cousin Tahir Bhatti, a taxi driver from Watford, agreed to help him return because the family wanted him back safely. Khawaja's own intentions are unclear. He had originally asked his cousin for money for a new gun - something Bhatti did not help him with. And then the fighter began trying to cover his tracks.
As Bhatti, who has admitted assisting an offender, drove to Bulgaria to pick him up, Khawaja faked his own death with an online obituary that said he had died in battle. The announcement asked that Allah grant him the highest position in heaven. He then tried to slip back into Britain unnoticed.
As the pair arrived at Dover, the police were waiting - and they ended up facing prosecution at the Old Bailey.
Cdr Richard Walton, the head of the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command, says: "Imran Khawaja is not a vulnerable teenager who has been enticed to travel to Syria.
"This is a man who chosen the path of terrorism, who has chosen to go out to Syria to be trained and engage in a terrorist training camp.
"We don't know why he came back, we don't know what he was planning - but we know he concealed his entry and faked his own death. This is a dangerous man."
Imran Khawaja was considered so dangerous that while he was on remand, he was held in the special unit for high risk terrorism suspects at London's maximum security Belmarsh prison.
He has admitted four offences:
Tahir Bhatti has pleaded guilty to assisting an offender.
Khawaja had originally faced an additional charge of soliciting to murder. That allegation, the most serious to be made yet against a Syrian fighter, will lie on file. | A British man who went to fight in Syria - and then faked his own death in order to secretly return - has pleaded guilty to four major terrorism offences at the Old Bailey. | 30891145 | [

The South American country will be the first in the world to legally sell the drug over the counter for recreational use.
The move was set in motion in 2013 with a law that fully legalised the cannabis trade.
However, it has been a slow process to put the law into practice.
"Cannabis will be dispensed in pharmacies starting in the month of July," presidential aide Juan Andres Roballo told a press conference.
The law requires buyers to sign up to a national registry, which Mr Roballo said would be up and running by 2 May. The price will be US$1.30 (£1) per gram.
Registrants - who must be Uruguayan citizens or permanent residents - can purchase up to a maximum of 40 grams (1.4 ounces) per month.
The marijuana sold will come from state-supervised fields.
The law also allows users to grow their own at home, or join cooperative clubs that farm it.
Many pharmacists have doubted the financial benefits of selling a cost-controlled product.
Some Uruguayan buyers were also reluctant to sign up to a national registry, complaining of the invasion of their privacy and of having to keep to the monthly limits.
The government has now done a deal with 16 pharmacies, but it hopes to sign up more.
Mr Roballo said there would be a public health campaign before the registry was opened.
He also said the government was not close to covering the predicted demand, but it does not believe there will be "an avalanche of users" signing up, | Uruguay will begin selling cannabis in pharmacies from July, the final stage in the country's pioneering regularisation of the drug. | 39522345 | [

With darkness falling, and your parents calling you in for tea, you squeeze in one last penalty to win the FA Cup, one last drop-kick to win the Rugby World Cup, one last putt to win The Masters.
Two Yorkshiremen had those same moments growing up around Sheffield in the early part of the century. This time last year, they made one a reality.
Danny Willett may have hit the drives and holed the putts that made him the first Englishman since Nick Faldo in 1996 to win the Masters and don the famous Green Jacket, but his caddie Jonathan Smart is claiming a bit of the credit.
In a documentary - When Danny Won The Masters, to be shown on BBC Two at 15:00 BST on Sunday, 2 April - the friends share their memories of an unforgettable Sunday afternoon playing the back nine at Augusta National.
Willett, playing with fellow Englishman and friend Lee Westwood, began the final round three shots adrift of defending champion Jordan Spieth, who was four groups behind him on the course.
The 29-year-old, who was only playing in the tournament because his son Zachariah was born a week early, takes up the tale on the 10th tee...
Danny: We were two under through the first nine but we were still three shots behind Jordan.
Jonny: We made an unbelievable par save on the ninth; it was the smelliest nine-footer down the hill and it kept us going. Then we had our funniest moment of the week walking down the 10th fairway. Danny said: "We're in contention on Sunday at the Masters." We were like little kids. We were laughing, not in disbelief, but at realising the situation we were in.
Danny: I hit two lovely shots on 10 and made par.
Danny: Everyone knows how difficult 11, 12 and 13 are with the wind swirling between the trees. I hit two lovely shots on 11 and made par, found the front edge on the par-three 12th and made par. We stepped on to the 13th tee and Jordan had birdied the eighth and ninth and stretched out to a five-shot lead.
The tee shot on the par-five 13th is really difficult for me because I hit a fade and it needs a draw. We hit three wood all week and almost played it as a three-shotter, but on Sunday Jonny and I said, 'If we're going to do anything we need to try and force it a little bit'. So I stepped up and gunned it. A little five-yard draw with the driver round the corner.
Jonny: Dan is adamant that was his best shot of the week.
Danny: I then hit five iron to the middle of the green and had a two-putt birdie but while I was doing that, Jordan had bogeyed 10.
Danny: I hit a nice drive down the right on 14 and a wedge to four feet and made birdie again. Jordan bogeyed 11.
Jonny: It was a four-footer that was straight downhill but I wasn't sure if it was going to break, it wasn't obvious. Nothing is said, we both know we've got to keep pushing. Those two holes were massive for us.
Willett improves to -4, Spieth drops to -5
Danny: The next time we see the leaderboard, Lee Westwood has just chipped in for eagle from the back of the 15th green to get within one of us.
Jonny: Everything went ballistic. We had another birdie chance but that shot from Westy brought another player into it. I had goosebumps because the fans on the 16th can also see everything and the sound was ridiculous.
Danny: I had a 10-12-footer from the back edge. I thought that was to tie the lead. I missed it but tapped in for par. John put the flag in, walked back, said 'that was a good effort' and then we heard all the oohs and aahs from the gallery.

Jonny: I'll never forget walking to the 16th tee. I saw people in the gallery putting their head in their hands and we turned around and saw they were changing the big scoreboard.
Danny: It's just off the back right of 15 and Jordan had gone from five under to one under on the par-three 12th and we were at four under. So we looked at each other and waited for them to change the score because we thought they've got it wrong. After five or 10 steps, we realised we were at four, Westwood at three and Jordan at one.
Jonny: That's when things got a little bit more interesting.
Danny: I'd been dying for the bathroom so I ran down past the 16th tee and everyone's saying 'look at the leaderboard, you're leading the Masters'. I'm in the bathroom and my hands are shaking and I'm nervous but thinking 'this is what you practise for'.
I kept telling myself, five good swings, see if you can hole a couple of putts and we'll see what happens. When I came out, I was in the best frame of mind I'd been in for a long time. Mentally I was seeing everything as it happened and I wasn't getting too far ahead.
Jonny: There was no discussion. If we acknowledge the position we're in, we're admitting we're nervous, so how is that going to help? We stick to our routine. We had 181 yards to the flag. An eight iron. We created a picture, just like we do on every shot.

Danny: I hit a lovely eight iron to about 10 feet.
Jonny: I walked off ahead as soon as he hit it. I'm pretty excitable and I didn't want him to see any emotion I'm giving off. Walking to the green there was no discussion. Everyone's telling Danny 'this is yours' but he probably didn't hear any of it. He was ridiculously focused.
Danny: We rolled in our birdie putt.
Jonny: The putt on 16 was all him. When he has a good line, why would he call me in? It only creates doubt.
Danny: Westy hit it to 35 feet and three-whacked, so all of a sudden we've opened a bit more of a gap. In the past 45 minutes, we'd gone from five behind to two in front. It was bonkers.
Jonny: On the 17th tee, I consciously said to Dan that these guys behind us are good and capable of making four birdies in a row.
Danny: I hit not a bad tee shot but was a bit hindered by a tree for the second and I hit eight iron long left. Looking back, I left myself a really tricky chip.
Jonny: I was thinking 'there's loads of green to work with' and it was a bog-standard chip shot. It got to the top of the hill and I thought 'he's not hit that hard enough' but it rolled over and then I thought 'that's quick' but it finished stiff and I thought that wasn't an easy chip shot!
Danny: I chipped it pretty much stone dead, which, round Augusta, you don't do. I'm going to go back this year and put a ball down and just see how difficult it is.
Danny: We'd hit a little cut driver off the 18th tee all week but we were pretty pumped with adrenaline and Jonny called three wood.
Jonny: My book said 296 yards to reach the bunker, so it's not hard to hit a good drive straight into it. He's got a low ball flight so he couldn't have done what Sandy Lyle did out of that bunker and reach the green.
Danny: He said: 'You can hit three wood as good as you like and you're never ever going to reach those bunkers.'
Jonny: Everyone was hustling to get a place to stand.
Danny: There was a lot of commotion. I stepped off the tee twice because people are moving up the sides, through the leaves, through the trees.
Jonny: That tee shot to me looks like hitting down a hotel corridor and I'm thinking it's getting narrower. Third time he's pulled the trigger.
Danny: I hit it 295 yards, straight down the middle of the fairway. Again, the hands were shaking, everything was shaking, but the walk up to the second shot was pretty enjoyable.
Jonny: There's a dip down before you walk up the hill to the green. As we got to the bottom, he took a massive deep breath. I knew he was nervous so I just said to him: 'You don't need to take that deep a breath, it's not that big a hill.'
Danny: I'd done 80% of the job I told myself I had to do - to make five good swings. One more to go. I think we had 183 yards, Jonny will still know. Can't miss the green left, can't miss it short, can't miss it long. I've seen it millions of times on the television, where it's impossible to get up and down from, and where you can give yourself a bit more margin. I pushed the seven iron a bit but it pitched on the collar of the green and worked off the bank back down exactly as I'd seen it before.
Jonny: The walk up to the green was an unbelievable experience. We were having a little giggle to ourselves, saying 'this is pretty cool'. I wish I'd taken it in more.
Danny: It was almost job done. We've got a 13-footer to get to six under, which I thought would be a difficult number for anyone to get to. But we get up on the green and look at the putt and you think it would be nice to get to six but I don't want to drop to four. So I cosied it down there and tapped in for par.
Jonny: The walk from the green to the clubhouse was bonkers. It was bizarre, surreal. It's stuff you watch on television and don't do yourself. We're walking off 18 and half-thinking we've won the Masters.
Danny: My father-in-law was at the back of the green, giving me a hug. You walk up to the cabin, sign your card [a bogey-free five-under-par 67], making sure you've got all that right and then it's a waiting game. We had 45, 50 minutes of waiting.
Jonny: I didn't know what to do with myself. I was half-watching, half-wondering if we should go the practice range in case there's a play-off.
Danny: We sat outside the recorders' hut and I'm trying to call [wife] Nic. The signal's not great, I'm just trying to get through to her. And I'm texting my mum and dad and brothers. But I'm constantly looking at the television to see what Jordan does.
Spieth birdies the par-five 15th to go three under with three to play.
Danny: You're going over all the scenarios where you can get beat. And then he made bogey on 17. He dropped back to two under and it's a physical impossibility to tie.
Jonny: I didn't realise the cameras were there and I just jumped on him.
Danny: I was on the phone to Nic, and Jonny jumped on me on the sofa. Everyone's seen that on the TV. That was the moment you realise that's what you've worked for and what you've just achieved. It isn't a dream. It's come true.
Danny: Every major trophy is significant in its own way but the Green Jacket is special. It's having your locker in the champions' locker room. It's your jacket being in there for the rest of your life. It's being able to go back to Augusta forever, until you don't want to play any more. The ceremony in Butler Cabin. You don't get to go inside the places I got to see at Augusta unless you win at Augusta. I'm honoured to be part of that now.
Jonny: We were whisked round the back of the clubhouse to Butler Cabin. That was cool. You've watched it on TV and then we're doing it. Dan's putting a Green Jacket on. I remember them fitting it because they've got them all lined up. Before he went in the room he looked across at me, just laughing. It was nuts. We've all had putts as juniors to win the Masters. I always dreamt about doing it but it was mega to be as close as I was to it and have some sort of contribution to Dan winning it.
Danny: When you walk through the door at home, you're not Masters champion any more. You're dad, or Dan. You're straight back to changing nappies and you take the jacket off so you don't get anything on it. The only time I've watched it back was that evening. I opened a beer and sat on the sofa with Nic. Watched it for an hour and a half. Highlights of what we'd done two days before. Just a crazy old few days really. | We've all done it. | 39420176 | [

Aamir Siddiqi, 17, was stabbed at his home in Roath in 2010 and two men, Jason Richards and Ben Hope, were jailed for life in 2013.
Mohammed Ali Ege, originally from Cardiff, was arrested in India in 2011 accused of conspiracy to commit murder.
But he escaped police custody in India last week.
Mr Ege, who is also accused of passport and identity forgery, was awaiting extradition but escaped after being taken to a court hearing.
Authorities confirmed he escaped from a railway station washroom in New Delhi.
Det Ch Insp Ceri Hughes said Mr Siddiqi's family "remain resilient and continue to receive our full support".
Mr Ege is from the Riverside area of Cardiff, but he also has connections with people in surrounding areas.
DCI Hughes added: "We believe someone in this country knows something about Mohammed Ali Ege's whereabouts, and urge such people to contact us". | South Wales Police are appealing for information over the whereabouts of a man wanted in connection with the murder of a Cardiff teenager. | 39670019 | [

Legal experts had warned that inventors and designers based in Scotland could lose out as a result of planned changes to the law.
In future a unified patent court will hear patent cases.
There will be up to four divisional courts in the UK - but there were originally no plans to have one in Scotland.
The Law Society of Scotland and the Faculty of Advocates had urged UK ministers to step in and change the law.
That has now happened, with Scotland's Court of Session being appointed as a venue for these claims, provided there is enough demand.
Gill Grassie, a member of the Law Society of Scotland's intellectual property law committee said: "We are delighted that the UK government has listened to our concerns.
"This is an important and very welcome step towards the goal that we have been aiming to achieve for the benefit of Scotland's IP rich business community.
"If we can secure the ultimate realisation of this goal sooner rather than later this will give businesses in Scotland, which rely upon patents to protect valuable technologies and innovation, assurance that they will be able to enforce and defend their rights in future in a local court.
"Thus they will be enabled to secure the benefits this will give in terms of costs savings, convenience and certainty."
The SNP's Pete Wishart, who had campaigned for the change, said it means inventors in Scotland will no longer have to go to a more distant court in London or Europe to enforce their rights.
He said: "This is a fantastic victory for the legal establishment in Scotland. I raised these concerns through all stages of the intellectual Property Bill and am very pleased that in response to my amendments today the UK government have said that we can secure a divisional court if we can demonstrate demand.
"Not only is there demand in Scotland but there is also centuries of experience, skills and expertise in dealing with patent case in Scotland.
"It would have been patently absurd for Scotland to be denied a divisional patent court with our tradition of invention and creativity and this is great news for all businesses associated with developing our creative economy in Scotland."
Last year, countries across Europe backed the changes to patent laws designed to help inventors protect their ideas right across the continent. | The UK government has announced that Scotland's Court of Session will now be able to hear new patent cases. | 26557306 | [

Martin Shkreli's drug company Turing Pharmaceuticals bought the rights to 62-year old drug Daraprim and increased the price per pill from $13.50 to $750.
Turing said it will cut the price by 50% for hospitals and offer financial assistance to individuals.
However, the company will keep its list price at the new higher level.
In September Turing promised to reduce the price.
The pill costs around $1 for patients in Europe.
In statement Turing's chief commercial officer Nancy Retzlaff defended the company's move. She said that reducing the listing price would not have translated into saving for patients.
"Drug pricing is one of the most complex parts of the healthcare industry. A drug's list price is not the primary factor in determining patient affordability and access," Ms Retzlaff said.
Doctors though worry keeping the price so high will make it impossible for hospitals to stock the drug for the few patients who need it.
"The decision not to lower the price leaves patients in the same boat," said Dr Joel Gallant, medical director of special service at Southwest Care centre.
Though Turing is offering payment assistance for some patients, Dr Gallant said this could still leave patients waiting for treatment.
"Patients start the drug in the hospital, but then they need to be discharged with the drug. While they wait for patient assistance to be approved they could be re-hospitalised," said Dr Gallant.
The original increase sparked outrage on social media and among politicians.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called the increase "price gouging".
Turing's chief executive Martin Shkreli- who had been labelled the most hated man in America-fought back saying politicians did not understand Pharmaceutical pricing.
He later backed down and promised to lower the price of the drug, though never said by how much.
Mr Shkreli told ABC news in September, "'We've agreed to lower the price of Daraprim to a point that is more affordable and is able to allow the company to make a profit, but a very small profit." | The company that sparked an outcry by raising the price of its HIV drug in the US by 5,000% says it will cut its price for some users. | 34917918 | [

Saturday's incident involved an MV-22 Osprey belonging to the US Marines based in Okinawa, Japan.
The third Marine Expeditionary Force said they had shifted their operations to recovery efforts, which could last several months.
Families of the three marines have been notified. Teams rescued 23 people.
The circumstances of the incident off the east coast of Australia are still under investigation, a statement said.
"As the sea state permits, recovery efforts will be conducted to further search, assess and survey the area, in coordination and with assistance from the Australian Defence Force," it added.
The MV-22 Osprey is a tilt-rotor aircraft similar to a conventional plane but has helicopter-like rotor blades which allow it to take off vertically, without a runway.
There were 26 people on board including the crew.
Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper quoted military sources as saying the aircraft had been trying to land on the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier.
US military forces have been operating in the area as part of a joint training exercise called Talisman Sabre. It involved some 30,000 personnel from both countries. | US officials say they have suspended a search and rescue operation for three marines missing after their aircraft crashed off the Australian coast. | 40841484 | [

Mr Musk tweeted that the explosion of Falcon 9 during a routine filling operation was the most complicated in the space travel firm's history.
He said that the engines weren't on and there was "no apparent heat source".
The rocket's payload, a satellite on which Facebook had leased capacity, was destroyed in the explosion last week.
"Still working on the Falcon fireball investigation. Turning out to be the most difficult and complex failure we have ever had in 14 years," Mr Musk tweeted.
Facebook, with Eutelsat Communications, had been due to use the Amos-6 satellite for broadband internet coverage for parts of sub-Saharan Africa as part of Facebook's Internet.org initiative.
The force of the blast at Cape Canaveral shook buildings several miles away.
Mr Musk tweeted that support for the SpaceX investigation by Nasa, the US Federal Aviation Administration, and the US Air Force was "much appreciated".
The technology entrepreneur owns and leads SpaceX. Mr Musk is also chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors and chairman of solar energy firm SolarCity. | An investigation into how a SpaceX rocket exploded is uncovering a "difficult and complex failure", the firm's founder Elon Musk has said. | 37316836 | [

The Football Association, known simply as the FA, is the organisation that looks after all football in England. Similar organisations play the same role for football in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
It was formed in 1863 and is the oldest football association in the world. As the first ever football association, it does not need to call itself the "English" FA. The FA is based at Wembley Stadium in London.
It controls many different competitions, the most famous of which is the FA Cup. It is also responsible for appointing the manager of the men's, women's, and youth England football teams.
Although it does not run the day-to-day operations of the Premier League, it does have some say in English football's biggest league.
The FA has been accused of being old fashioned and out of date in the way it is run, and the people it has in power.
The government has repeatedly called for the FA to be more of a reflection of modern society, and those who play the game. It also wants the organisation to change the way it makes decisions.
The FA is run by a group of people called the FA Council, which has 122 members. Just eight of these members are women and only four are from ethnic minorities. More than 90 of the 122 members are aged over 60.
This is a big area where some people believe the FA needs to change. The government wants more women and people from ethnic minorities to have a say in how the FA is run.
Other areas that the government wants to change are for fans to have more input, and changes to limit the power and influence of the Premier League.
On 9 February, MPs in the House of Commons, had a debate about whether they believed the FA can change itself, or whether the government needs to step in to force changes.
They voted that they had "no confidence" in the Football Association to make the changes.
The vote itself does not have any powers or immediate effect on the FA, but it will be seen as a warning to the organisation that the government could force them to change if they don't act soon.
The FA faces losing getting money from the government, but is confident they can make the changes themselves to keep the government happy. | MPs have voted to say that they don't believe the biggest organisation in English football, the FA, can make the changes needed to keep it modern and relevant. | 38928755 | [

The 400-member Santee Sioux tribe already runs a casino, hotel and ranch and hopes the resort will be a new revenue generator.
Marijuana is not legal in South Dakota but the tribe has been permitted to grow and sell pot since June.
It will open on New Year's Eve and only be sold on the reservation.
Sioux leaders would grow the marijuana to be offered in a smoking lounge.
The lounge would have games, food and a bar, and eventually slot machines and a music venue.
"We want it to be an adult playground," tribal president Anthony Reider told the AP news agency.
"There's nowhere else in America that has something like this."
Tribe leaders predict the resort would make up to $2m (£1.3m) per month.
Marijuana is growing at a facility on the reservation now and they hope to sell it for the first time on 31 December at a New Year's Eve party.
The Justice Department put out a new policy allowing Native American tribes to grow and sell marijuana in a similar way to some US states like Colorado in 2014.
The strict provision does not allow tribes to sell marijuana to minors or grow it on public land.
Marijuana will be sold in sealed one-gram packages for $12.50 (£8.27) to $15, and people will only be able to buy one gram at a time.
"[The tribe] must look at these opportunities because in order to preserve the past we do have to advance in the present," said Mr Reider. | A Native American tribe in the US state of South Dakota has said it plans to open what would be the first marijuana resort in the US. | 34405977 | [

But the overall national picture for GCSE grades is very similar to last year. The proportion getting A* to C grades has nudged up from 68.8% to 69%.
That represents an improvement for more than 10,000 exam entries. But the overall message - and the even smaller decline in the proportion of top A* and A grades - is that there is "stability".
This isn't an accident. The annual exam results are not like going outside and measuring the temperature as a natural phenomenon which might fluctuate.
It's more like setting the central heating to an agreed level and then holding up a thermometer to see if the temperature is where it should be.
Well, perhaps that's not a complete analogy, but the national exam statistics, with their neat similarity to last year, are a work of design rather than nature.
The huge annual challenge for the exam system is to balance a number of competing demands. There has to be room for some slight ups and downs, but there mustn't be grade inflation, standards have to be maintained over time and - at the very heart of the process - it has to be a fair reward for the hard work of individual pupils.
Add to this complex equation the need to adjust grades between different exam boards.
Head teachers' leader Brian Lightman has complained that below the smooth surface of the national statistics, there can be doubts about the reliability of individual results.
He has warned of "volatility", with heads unable to explain sudden dips and spikes, problems that remain unnoticed from a national perspective.
"It is devastating for a student who has been on course for a certain grade to miss what they were expected to achieve and it is mystifying to their teachers," said Mr Lightman.
The lingering question is if one year's results are reverse engineered to be very similar to the year before, does this mean distorting some of the results to make sure that they fit? Are there winners and losers in some subjects and at some grades?
Ofqual has always argued that fairness for individual students is not compromised by the demands of the wider results system.
But it's a massively complicated challenge for exam boards and regulator - made even more difficult by the conflicting legacies of previous grading systems.
Once there was a system of fixed quotas which prevented any rise in grades and then a system which allowed grades to rise every single year. Now there is a system which holds out the possibility of change, but which manages to keep things the same.
Another factor that gets overlooked in the headlines, is that the results can be changed by who is taking the exam.
This year's nudge upwards in the pass rate has come alongside an older cohort.
There are fewer 14 and 15 year olds taking the GCSEs early, because the league tables now only recognise the first attempt.
And another change in government policy means that pupils who missed out on GCSE maths and English last year are having to re-sit the exam this year. This means that more than 300,000 exam entries were from 17 year olds.
But if the changes at the overall level are measured in fractions of a percentage point, there are some very striking differences between England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Northern Ireland's pupils are stretching their lead over everyone else, jumping by 0.7% to 78.7%. It raises the question how such results can be achieved when only 66% make the grade in Wales.
Not only is the Northern Ireland figure far ahead of England, it is ahead of the highest-achieving part of England, which was London with 72%.
England's education system has been in a state of almost constant reform since the late 1980s, but the latest results show it is Northern Ireland that is stretching further ahead.
When these regional differences are overlaid with the gender gap, it means that young women in Northern Ireland are doing much better than anyone else.
The scores from the GCSE top grades show the gap. Among entries from female pupils in Northern Ireland, 11.4% achieve A* grades. Among male pupils in Wales, the figure is 4.5%.
In England, 5.2% of entries from male pupils and 7.9% of female achieve these highest A* grades.
This sets a pattern for A-levels and university entry, with Northern Irish women the most likely in the UK to get university places.
Whether or not it is going to be consolation for England's school leaders, such comparisons are soon going to be impossible.
Because in a couple of years England's GCSEs will begin to be graded from 9 to 1 rather than A to G, ending a common system with Wales and Northern Ireland.
Another curious aside is that many of the pupils taking GCSEs this year in England did not take their Sats tests five years ago, because of a primary school teachers' boycott. What difference did it make in the long term?
It would take another exam to answer that one. | The results have been published for more than five million GCSE entries - which will be five million different stories of exam dreams, dramas and disasters. | 34007864 | [

The event represents the final opportunity for GB to attain a maximum of two berths (one male and one female) for August's Rio Olympics.
The UK Sport-funded GB women's team will need to rank in the top six from nations who have not already qualified.
"We'll give it our all to qualify for the Olympics in Rio this summer," Smith told BBC Sport.
"It's going to be a tough competition but I'm confident in my preparations."
Commonwealth champion Smith is the lead candidate to represent Team GB should the GB women claim a berth, but rising star Rebekah Tiler is expected to rival her.
Ex-England lifter Hannah Powell - who now aims to represent Wales - will line up at her first major international since the 2011 World Championships.
The unfunded British men's team need a top-seven place at the European Championships in Forde, which run from 10 to 16 April.
They are boosted by Welsh lifter Darius Jokarzadeh's first appearance in the sport since finishing fourth at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The US-based athlete, who wants to be an American footballer, is joined by Olympian Gareth Evans and British champion Sonny Webster in the squad.
"Qualification for this summer's Olympic Games remains extremely competitive," British Weight Lifting performance director Tommy Yule said.
"Our elite lifters have proven themselves more than up to the challenge, however, and have a terrific opportunity in Norway to seal Olympic qualification."
Should GB attain a place or places at the Rio Olympics then athletes will bid to represent Team GB through performances at the British Championships in June. | London Olympian Zoe Smith will lead a 14-strong British team at April's European Championships in Norway. | 35817376 | [

Ibrahimovic is a free agent at the end of the season and has announced he is likely to leave Paris St-Germain.
The 34-year-old scored four goals on Sunday as PSG beat Troyes 9-0 to win a fourth successive French league title.
"Look, at the moment, no," Wenger said when asked if he was interested in a deal for Ibrahimovic.
The Swede has also played for Barcelona, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Ajax and Malmo in his 17-year career, winning league titles in four countries.
This season he has scored 31 goals as PSG clinched the Ligue 1 trophy with eight games to spare.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are 11 points behind Premier League leaders Leicester and face Everton on Saturday at 12:45 GMT.
Wenger said: "We have other worries at the moment. It's short-term. We are not on Zlatan's case. Even at 34, he's had a great season at PSG."
He added: "I'm just surprised by the name you've thrown at me."
In 2000, Ibrahimovic turned down a move to Arsenal, refusing to take a trial for Wenger.
"I couldn't believe it. I was like 'No way. Zlatan doesn't do auditions'," said the striker. | Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he is "surprised" the club has been linked with a summer move to sign Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. | 35842214 | [

Ceredigion-based Lewis Coaches, which runs buses from Aberystwyth to Cardiff via Carmarthen, is to shut on Friday.
The Confederation of Passenger Transport Cymru said 40 jobs were at risk.
Ceredigion council said it was working to continue some services.
The authority said plans were already in place to see the on-demand Bwcabus service and the 588 and 585 routes from Aberystwyth University to Lampeter taken over by other firms by Saturday.
But the council said it understood the 701 Aberystwyth - Carmarthen - Cardiff service would end on Friday and it did not know if another operator would take it on.
Lewis Coaches is the third bus company in Wales to collapse in the past two months, with 300 jobs lost when Wrexham-based GHA Coaches went into administration in July and Pembrokeshire firm Silcox Coaches, ceasing trading after 134 years in June. | Some bus services in mid Wales facing the axe because the firm which runs them went into administration could be maintained, a council has said. | 37047659 | [

Those were the days, by the way, when phones were for making calls but all that was about to change.
“Have you got your hands on this new Apple phone for a piece to camera?” shouted a producer in London. “If not, why not?”
This appeared to be an impossible demand.
Steve Jobs had just unveiled the iPhone before an adoring crowd but it was not available for grubby hacks to manhandle.
Then I remembered that we had been offered - and turned down for lack of time - an interview with Apple’s marketing chief Phil Schiller. I turned around and headed back to the Moscone Centre. Having located Mr Schiller I asked whether before our interview I might just have a look at the iPhone.
He graciously handed his over - and rather than trying to ring Jony Ive or order 5,000 lattes as Steve Jobs had on stage, I brandished it at the camera for my Ten O’Clock News piece.
The following weekend a Sunday newspaper columnist described me as having clutched the phone as if it were “a fragment of the true cross”, and some viewers complained that the BBC had given undue prominence to a product launch.
I appeared on the Newswatch programme to defend our reporting and said that some products did merit coverage because they promised a step change in the way we lived - and I mused on whether the Model T Ford would have been a story if we’d had a TV news bulletin back then.
Afterwards, I rather regretted saying that - who knew whether the iPhone would really prove as revolutionary as the arrival of mass car ownership?
But today that comparison does not look so outlandish. The smartphone has been the key transformative technology of the last decade, putting powerful computers in the hands of more than two billion people and disrupting all sorts of industries.
One example is in the photograph at the top of this article. It’s not very good - but then again it was taken by me on a digital SLR camera. In difficult lighting conditions, I struggled to get Steve Jobs in focus on stage.
Compare and contrast with a photo taken 10 years later in Las Vegas last week - it was shot on an iPhone but could just as well been captured on any high-end smartphone such as a Google Pixel, and was the work of the same incompetent photographer.
This 2017 photo could be instantly shared on social media - the Steve Jobs one stayed in my SLR for days.
My point is that the iPhone radically changed the way we thought about photography and a whole range of other activities we could now do on the move.
Of course, there were cameras on phones before 2007, just as there were mobile devices that allowed you to roam the internet or send an email. But the genius of Steve Jobs was to realise that without an attractive user interface many people just couldn’t be bothered to do more with their phones than talk and text.
So, despite my rather British distaste for the hyperbole surrounding the iPhone launch - expressed at the time in a blog - I now look back and feel grateful to have witnessed a moment in history.
Other firms, notably Amazon and Google, are now taking us forward with innovative products imbued with artificial intelligence. But it was on a sunny January morning in San Francisco that the mobile connected era began. | Ten years ago I was running from San Francisco’s Moscone Centre to a nearby hotel to edit a piece for the Ten O’Clock News when my phone rang. | 38550016 | [

Uefa's executive will not allow their congress to discuss Jersey's bid as the island is not recognised by the United Nations as an independent nation.
Representatives from Uefa visited the island, which is a crown dependency of Great Britain, in September to meet with Jersey football officials.
"This was the response we expected," said Jersey FA president Phil Austin.
"From a footballing perspective we more than meet the criteria.
"In rejecting our application, the executive of Uefa have said that they're not putting our application forward to the congress. We don't think the executive have the authority to do that, we think it should go to congress," Austin told BBC Sport.
Jersey submitted a bid to leave the English FA and join Uefa in December 2015, following the acceptance of Gibraltar and Kosovo, who are not independent nations.
But Gibraltar's initial application in 2007 came before the rules were changed, while Kosovo, who joined Uefa in May and played in their first World Cup qualifier in September declared independence from Serbia in 2008.
"I have no idea how long it's going to take, we are waiting for a court date hopefully within the next six months, but I don't know," added Austin.
"We are watching the costs very carefully and we will take it each step at a time and managed our budget accordingly.
"One or two people have stepped forward who believe in what we're doing and will help us with our funding." | Jersey are to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after their bid to join Uefa was turned down. | 37543139 | [

Invisible Edinburgh said the aim was to reveal a different side to Scotland's capital city.
The tours start in the Grassmarket, Castle Terrace and Middle Meadow Walk and each has a different theme and is tailored to the guide's individual experience.
The venture has funding from the Edinburgh Airport Community Fund.
The themes are powerful women of Edinburgh, crimes and punishment, community sport and food and charity.
Zakia Moulaoui, 28, from France, set up the tours after getting the idea from a project in Greece where street vendors take people on walks.
She told the BBC Scotland news website: "We have four guides at the moment but will be training up more in September.
"There is a homeless point to all the walks, which is personal to the guide, so for example the crime and punishment tour will tell you about Burke and Hare but the guide will also tell you about his own relevant problems with the court across the road with funny stories.
"The tours are a mix of old and new.
"In the powerful women of Edinburgh you will hear about Maggie Dickson but then also about JK Rowling."
The £8 tours run on a Saturday and tickets must be bought online. | Walking tours led by people who have been homeless have been launched in Edinburgh. | 36303093 | [

Three others were injured, one seriously, in the incident at Downsview Park, medical officials said.
The collapse happened an hour before the gates were due to open for the concert, with queues already beginning to form outside.
UK rock band Radiohead tweeted that the performance had been cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances".
Emergency crews went to the scene and the area was evacuated.
Toronto police said the stage collapsed at 16:00 local time (20:00).
Police said the person who died was a man in his 30s, but did not reveal his identity.
The victims were all part of a team involved with setting up the stage, officials said.
Alexandra Halbert, who was working in a beer tent at the show, said she was about 200-300 yards away from the stage, with her back to it, when she heard "something that sounded like fireworks".
"I turned around and the whole top part of the stage had collapsed, as well as the scaffolding," she told the BBC.
"It seemed like there were a couple of minutes of hesitation and no one knew quite what to do. It was only afterwards that we all realised how serious it was."
Jason Ip, a food vendor, said there was "chaos" as people waited for the emergency services to arrive.
"A few people started running towards the stage. No one knew exactly what had happened, but it was clear that people were underneath the stage," he said.
"It was like witnessing a car accident. In a situation like that, you just aren't sure how to react."
Some 40,000 people were expected for the sold-out gig, which was also due to feature Canadian musician Caribou. | One person has died in a stage collapse before a Radiohead concert in the Canadian city of Toronto. | 18474835 | [

Simone Sorensen scored the crucial spot-kick after Austria missed their first three penalties.
The Austrians will rue wasting the best chance of the match when Sarah Puntigam fired over a first-half penalty.
Denmark also went close in normal time through Sanne Troelsgaard, whose strike came off the crossbar.
The Danes will face the hosts in the final after their 3-0 win over England in the second semi-final.
It was a tight and tense semi-final between Denmark, the two-time semi-finalists, and tournament debutants Austria.
Denmark, beaten at the last-four stage four years ago, were second best to the unfancied Austrian side during the first 45 minutes.
Dominik Thalhammer's side should have taken the lead when they were awarded a penalty in the 13th minute. Maja Kildemoes was the unlucky Dane when she was judged to have intentionally moved her arm to block Verena Aschauer's effort.
Freiburg midfielder Puntigam stepped up, but blazed her penalty over the bar.
Denmark's best effort of the opening half fell to Rosengard's Troelsgaard, whose angled left-foot strike struck the bar.
It was not until extra-time that either goal was seriously threatened again. First, Katrine Veje's effort cleared the Austria bar with a strike from eight yards. And then Pernille Harder, arguably the player of the match, headed over in the final few seconds before the spot-kicks.

But the music in the air is understated these days. Birdsong and the chatter of children have replaced the loud clang and clatter of heavy industry.
It is not the hush of contentment, but the quiet of an industrial graveyard.
A council leader warns of history repeating itself. A local activist urges the people of Wales to show heart and spirit and fight back.
The message to Port Talbot from Ravenscraig is blunt: don't let this happen to you.
Ravenscraig steelworks in central Scotland closed in 1992 after a bitter 12-year fight.
There is still a numbness here, the pain of a phantom limb still nearly unbearable almost a quarter of a century after amputation.
The questions it raises - about the UK's industrial strategy and the way areas are treated when their main source of employment disappears - are still raw.
Listen to Mark Mardell's full report from Ravenscraig on BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend.
Workers were given generous compensation and retrained, according to one union leader, but the promised regeneration never came.
The 'Craig, as everyone around here calls it with familiar affection, covered an area twice the size of Monaco. Today it is largely a wasteland, the biggest brownfield site in Europe.
Very brown it is too. Sure there is a gleaming glass-fronted further education college, a sports centre of dramatic design, a pub and some new homes. But there are also swathes of churned up mud, puddles and scrubby grass.
There were ambitious plans for the biggest new town in Europe and an immense shopping centre that would pull in people from all over Scotland. But other retailers didn't like the idea and there was a lengthy court battle that went to the House of Lords.
By the time it was over, the recession and the new enthusiasm for shopping online put paid to those dreams.
Everyone I talk to speaks as if with one mind. If regeneration is to happen it should be well-funded and immediate. But it is not the answer. The answer is "save our steel".
What happened to the people of Ravenscraig - what they fear awaits families in Port Talbot - goes to the heart of a problem that haunts the West and reverberates in its politics.
It is one part of the reason for the success of Donald Trump in the US and parties of the hard right and hard left in Europe, as well as the plight of the Labour Party in many parts of the UK.
While globalisation may boost the world economy, while its masters feel as at home in Beijing, Birmingham and Berlin, it leaves a remnant floundering in a changing landscape, searching for more secure national identities rooted in a tried and tested past.
It explains why we are hearing calls for trade tariffs when once protectionism seemed as old-fashioned as the intense battle over the Corn Laws.
Steelworks, like coal mining and shipbuilding, were the source of jobs for generations and decent money. But my visit to Ravenscraig reminded me that it was about more than just cash.
I started my life as a journalist on Teesside in the north east of England at the time when closures were always in the air. It seemed each week the Labour MPs would come up with a new "dossier of despair" chronicling decline.
Not much has changed - Redcar's steelworks finally shut down last autumn.
Later as an industrial reporter I covered the long and bitter miners' strike.
The sector, hit by multiple mass extinctions, not only underpinned a region's economy but was a source of pride and purpose. The sort of feeling that people have for their country or their football team, people had for their industry, their plant, their pit.
Maybe that's an overly romantic generalisation but there's a truth in it.
You don't get that sense of self worth from a call centre or a food court. Nor do you get the power of the unions or a solid commitment to one political party.
This is a phenomenon all over Europe and the US. The Rust Belt in the US goes on for mile after mile, rows of corroding chimneys and towers, inspiring Bruce Springsteen's despairing nostalgia for blue collar America.
You can see similar discarded husks of heavy industry all over Eastern Europe.
But there is a particularly British twist to this story. I remember going to see the heartland of German industry, the Ruhr, six or seven years ago.
Mining is dead but steel is very much alive. Standing high up in a steelworks command centre, like the bridge of a ship, you can look down on an area much bigger than Ravenscraig, pumping out smoke and steam.
Germany has a strategy that values manufacturing.
The SNP government in Scotland would say it does too. When Tata announced the planned closure of the last remaining steelworks, they acted. Details of the deal are sketchy, but it appears the plants were nationalised for a few brief hours and then sold on.
It is not just industrial giants Germany and the US who produce more steel than the UK. So do France, Italy and Spain.
Perhaps, some would argue, that is because they are behind the times. But the question is obvious - if I have been covering the decline of British steel all my working life, what have successive British governments been doing about it?
At Ravenscraig you'll hear mutterings about "Maggie" and "the Conservatives". But it is arguable that all recent governments have seen heavy industry as the past, and banking and services as the bright future - the market embraced with an enthusiasm not matched on the continent.
This current steel crisis will pass, one way or another. But it provokes big questions, not only about whether steel is a strategic resource, but about the future of work. That does not mean it will result in a new strategy or new thinking.
But this leaves a sense of bitterness in its wake. As one man who worked at the 'Craig for 30 years put it: "You still need steel. You can't make the Forth Bridge out of plastic." | The sports centre at Ravenscraig is a homage, a "symphony in steel", say the architects. | 35972298 | [

From her early days as a prodigious youngster, the career-threatening injury, the comeback and first world title to the iconic gold at London 2012.
Then came Ennis-Hill the mum, a second world title and her final act, a silver at Rio.
Minichiello has seen it all and tells BBC Sport why the "hard-working mum" deserves her place as Britain's greatest ever athlete.
"How would I describe Jess in three words? A hard-working mum.
"Leading into London she was an athlete first and foremost. But after her son Reggie was born she was a mum who did athletics. That is a lovely example, look at her, how she changed, she became just a mum with a hobby.
"The World Championship medal in 2015 and the Olympic medal at Rio was more about doing something for her son; her son would see that and have an affinity with it. He is very sporty, and can throw a broom handle thinking it's a javelin.
"He has seen his mum, whatever memory he may or may not have, he will have experienced what his mum's reputation will always be."

"I met Jess when she was nine. I was teaching on summer camps at the time and I saw this kid who stood out from her peers because she was just that bit quicker.
"She only came down because her friend came down but she stuck with it and the friend went in a different direction.
"Jess kept exceeding and exceeding expectations, people criticised her for being too small, said she'd never make it. They said my coaching was no good. But I was like 'no, come and see this kid, what she does, she is tenacious, a highly-competitive individual'.
"She can be a pain, she is always ultra competitive. She gets it from her mum, even lobbing a drinks bottle into a bin from five metres.
"Her best quality is her ability to be ultra competitive but be incredibly grounded and modest. She is critical of herself. She does not say 'look at me, the great I am'. She is modest and strives to be better and has an incredible work ethic. You could not ask for any more. She got her physicality from her parents and add that to the work ethic and competitive bit; bring all that together and you have lightning in a bottle.
"She has always been sassy and was a cheeky little kid. But she has that determination to do better and never be satisfied with her performance."

"For me, the highlight of her career wasn't London 2012, but coming back from pregnancy and winning the World Championship in Beijing in 2015.
"Number two would coming back from three stress fractures in her foot and winning her first World Championship in 2009 because that was potentially a career-threatening injury. The home Olympics was big but in my perspective overcoming adversity was better.
"London was superb, but a bit surreal because the crowd were so supportive. It wasn't quite the same pressurised environment. Normally on the first day of a heptathlon it is three men a dog, but it was packed.
"I have two great memories from London. The first was when she was introduced in the last heat of the 800m. They went down the line and when the announcer got to lane eight - Jess' lane - he was drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
"The second was so many people staying in the stadium for the medal ceremony and singing the national anthem. It was the first gold medal and the first time the stadium heard the anthem."

"After Rio, I said 'go and take two or three months and make sure you're happy with the decision'. There will be no comeback, no Frank Sinatra moment, it won't be that, even though you get good odds for her to compete at Tokyo... the bookies were offering 10-1.
"She had the shortest competitive preparation for Rio with injuries and it was not the most sensible competitive programme to try and retain an Olympic title. It had been a struggle, three injuries to get over and her body was not as forgiving as it was. She had this in mind when she made a judgement call about competing at the World Championships in London in 2017.
Find out how to get into athletics with our special guide.
"It was time. In fairness there is a new generation of British athletes coming through and the hope is they can step up and succeed. It's their moment, no need to dwell on the past, her time has been.
"I will miss it, I like going to major championships, I like the buzz. But I have a whole new crop and hopefully have one or two who can make it."
"If you look at somebody who in a career has won a medal at the youngest stage and gone all the way through to winning an Olympic medal, the changes that you had in that lifetime, that defines a career.
"To come back from three injuries and to win a world title, again that would define a career. To win a home Olympics, again that would define you, To come back after pregnancy as a mum and how organise time and win a world title and Olympic medal, anyone of those individually would all define a career. To have done all four, that is staggering.
"She is better than Daley Thompson, he never gave birth and came back and won, he trained and trained. To balance her home life and do that makes her the best British athlete ever."

Police were called to the Bristol Road South branch, in Northfield, at 11:45 GMT to reports a female member of staff was being held hostage in an interview room.
West Midlands Police said it is understood a firearm was produced, but no threats or demands were made.
They said the man, aged 60, surrendered to police at about 12:50 GMT.
Police said the suspect, who is believed to be from the local area and a customer at the branch, was taken to hospital for an assessment.
He is expected to be questioned later on suspicion of firearms offences.

Officers, including armed police, contained the building and negotiators were sent to the scene as a cordon was put in place.
Samantha Lacey, 32, from Northfield, said she arrived at the bank to make a deposit but found the door was shut.
She said: "There were about six people outside. When I asked what happened they said a man walked in, pulled a gun out and told all customers to get out."
Ch Insp Shaun Phillips said: "Officers quickly surrounded the bank, set-up a street cordon and established phone contact with some staff members who were hiding in a back room.
"It's understood the man was with one female staff member, while other staff were lying low in another back room.
"No customers were caught up in the incident and no-one was hurt." | A man was arrested on suspicion of holding a staff member at gunpoint at a NatWest bank in Birmingham. | 39304992 | [

She met with pupils and staff at Burnfoot Community School in Hawick on the first day of their new term.
It is one of two primaries in the region benefiting from the Scottish Attainment Challenge programme.
The latest allocation of £2.8m is being distributed to 46 primaries across 12 local authorities.
It is part of the £750m that the Scottish government said it intended to invest in the Attainment Scotland Fund over the course of this parliament.
"As a new school year begins today, pupils and parents here at Burnfoot Community School are looking ahead to an exciting and stimulating year of learning," said Ms Sturgeon.
"I am determined that every child must have the same opportunities and an equal chance to succeed.
"That's why our top priority is raising attainment overall and closing the gap in achievement between young people in our most and least deprived areas."
She said that in areas of deprivation across the country, teachers were already developing innovative approaches to improving literacy, numeracy, health and wellbeing.
"At Burnfoot, for example, there has been a significant focus on family support, family learning programmes and links with the wider community," she added.
Scottish Borders Council's executive member for education, councillor Sandy Aitchison, said Burnfoot was an "excellent example" of schools working to "close the attainment gap".
"The school has initiated a range of interventions aimed at closing the gap and since joining the Scottish Attainment Challenge this work has intensified," he said.
"This has had a tremendous impact on children and their families including improved attainment in reading, writing and numeracy, as well as improved attendance of pupils."
Liz Smith of the Scottish Conservatives said everyone agreed tackling the attainment gap should be the "first priority" for schools.
"The ambition should be about ensuring young people have good quality early years provision, and that they get access to top class local schools, teachers and support staff with a wide range of subject choice and extra-curricular activities," she said.
"None of these things can happen with the SNP's current approach.
"We need radical reform in our schools which allows headteachers to have more control and which allows parents both more involvement in and more choice over their child's schooling."
Scottish Labour education spokesman Iain Gray said his party had outlined a "series of positive policies" to cut the gap between "the richest and the rest".
"We would scrap unfair charges for exam appeals, which favour private school pupils over those educated in state schools, and we would introduce a Scottish Graduation Certificate to replace the failing baccalaureate," he said.
"Whilst the First Minister poses for photo ops in the Borders, her government is only delivering attainment funding to two schools out of 63 in the area.
"If the SNP were serious about cutting the gap between the richest and the rest in our classrooms they would deliver more investment by stopping the cuts to education and backing Labour's plan for a 50p top rate of tax for those earning over £150,000 per year to invest in our schools."

Inspectors criticised teaching and leadership at the Phoenix Academy and Lakeside Academy following visits in February, rating both schools inadequate in all areas.
Wrockwardine Wood and Sutherland academies, also run by the Telford Co-operative Multi-Academy Trust, were put in special measures earlier this week.
The trust has not commented.
Ofsted criticised the trust's lack of support to the schools and said each was now considering an alternative sponsor.
Inspectors said pupils' achievement at the Phoenix Academy had dropped since it became an academy in 2013 and their latest report rated it inadequate in all areas.
A report in 2013, before it converted, rated the secondary school as "requiring improvement", while Lakeside was rated "good" in 2012 under its former name the Lord Silkin School.
In the latest report, inspectors said the curriculum at Phoenix Academy was "inadequate", while "weak teaching" meant pupils were not sufficiently challenged and were often "disengaged and disruptive".
There was particular criticism of standards in English and maths which the watchdog said were limiting pupils' achievements in other areas.
Ofsted's report said governors, managers and teachers had developed a "culture of low expectations", while leaders had failed to act decisively to halt the decline in pupils' achievement.
There was, however, some praise for the acting head teacher. Inspectors said he had introduced a number of improvement measures and some were "beginning to have an impact".
A report on Lakeside School highlighted similar concerns, criticising teachers for not sufficiently challenging pupils and for having "over generous" predictions of their achievement.
Inspectors said many pupils, whether high achievers or those with special educational needs, were "not making the progress they should" and achievements at GCSE were well below the national average.
Governors were also criticised for not holding leaders to account, while the report said management had failed to effectively monitor either pupils or teachers.
Inspectors, did however highlight new initiatives to improve literacy which they said were "beginning to have a positive impact". | All four schools run by a Telford academy trust have been put in special measures within a week. | 32331510 | [

The US Navy said on 8 April that the Carl Vinson strike group was travelling to the Korean peninsula amid tensions over Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions.
Last week President Trump said an "armada" was being sent.
But the group was actually farther away over the weekend, moving through the Sunda Strait into the Indian Ocean.
The US military's Pacific Command said on Tuesday that it had cancelled a port visit to Perth, but had completed previously scheduled training with Australia off its northwest coast after departing Singapore on 8 April.
The strike group was now "proceeding to the Western Pacific as ordered".
It is not clear whether the failure to arrive was a deliberate deception, perhaps designed to frighten North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, a change of plan or simple miscommunication, the BBC's Korea correspondent Stephen Evans says.
Either way, US Vice-President Mike Pence was undeterred as he spoke aboard the USS Ronald Reagan - an aircraft carrier docked in Japan - during his tour of the region, vowing to "defeat any attack and meet any use of conventional or nuclear weapons with an overwhelming and effective American response".
North Korea and the US have ratcheted up tensions in recent weeks and the movement of the strike group had raised the question of a pre-emptive strike by the US.
On Wednesday, Mr Pence described the country as the "most dangerous and urgent threat to peace and security" in the Asia-Pacific.
His words came after the North held a show of military might in a parade over the weekend and tested another missile on Sunday, which blew up almost immediately after launch, the Pentagon said.
The US also accused North Korea of trying to "provoke something", with US Defence Secretary James Mattis calling the test a reckless move on Tuesday.
He said the US was "working closely" with China to engage North Korea.
Pyongyang said it may test missiles on a weekly basis, and warned of "all-out war" if the US takes military action.
"If the US is planning a military attack against us, we will react with a nuclear pre-emptive strike by our own style and method," Vice-Foreign Minister Han Song-ryol told the BBC on Monday.

The proposals, by Leighton Andrews, to bring back bigger councils are broadly similar to pre-1996 arrangements.
Mr Andrews called the case for fewer local authorities "compelling".
However, the plans have been criticised by the body representing local authorities, some Labour council leaders and an ex-Labour minister.
Mr Andrews's blueprint envisages the return of historical counties such as Dyfed and West Glamorgan.
Dyfed would be brought back by re-merging Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion, and West Glamorgan would return by joining Swansea once more with Neath Port Talbot.
Cardiff would merge with the Vale of Glamorgan, while a merger between Caerphilly, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Newport and Monmouthshire would create Wales' biggest council, with a population of nearly 600,000.
Bridgend would join Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil.
The minister will consult further on whether to move to two or three councils in north Wales.
In the eight-council model, Anglesey, Gwynedd and Conwy would merge, as would Denbighshire, Wrexham and Flintshire.
The alternative would see Conwy and Denbighshire merging.
The cross-party Williams Commission advised against an eight-council structure, in January 2014, warning many gains from mergers would be "jeopardised or lost".
The report stated: "Such proposals would mean creating local authority areas like the whole of Gwent or the whole of north Wales. It would be very difficult to meet multiple diverse local needs effectively, or to maintain fair democratic representation within such areas."
Mr Andrews has dropped plans to place "term-limits" on councillors, whereby an individual would only be able to serve for 25 years.
He is also proposing the current cap of 75 members per council be raised to a higher level.
In a written statement, Mr Andrews added: "I want to emphasise this is not a final decision. It is the next phase in discussions."
A draft bill will be published in the autumn but no changes will be made before next spring's assembly election.
Mr Andrews is confident his plans are on the right side of the political argument, despite criticism from senior Labour council figures.
He told BBC Wales: "Welsh Labour will be happy to go into the election next year campaigning to reduce the cost of politics and administration in local government."
But the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) dismissed the proposals, saying there was "no political consensus" on the future shape of councils, either across political parties in the assembly or between Welsh ministers and local authorities.
The WLGA called for an "urgent summit" of council leaders and the Welsh government.
Association leader Bob Wellington, also the Labour leader of Torfaen council, said: "This summit could debate the way forward in terms of structures, but more importantly set in place a new vision for local government which is currently at the epicentre of public sector funding cuts and is having to carry a disproportionate share of the huge austerity burden."
There was fierce criticism of Blaenau Gwent's proposed merger with Caerphilly, Newport, Monmouthshire and Torfaen from its local Labour AM, a former environment minister.
Alun Davies said such changes would "only distract from the important issue of focusing on the challenges facing us as a borough".
Urging Welsh ministers to "listen and to reach out with meaningful discussions", he added: "Simply issuing diktats is the worst way to promote debate and discussion."
Dominic MacAskill, from public services union Unison, said it would be "demanding that staff, our members, are put at the heart of considerations and that Welsh government commits to providing adequate funding for the transition costs of any restructuring".
Mr Andrew's proposals came under immediate fire from assembly opposition parties.
Conservative shadow local government minister Janet Finch-Saunders condemned what she called an "uninspiring map" chosen to "best serve the tribal party political interests of the Labour Party instead of ensuring proper local representation for families across Wales or delivering efficient local services".
Plaid Cymru's Rhodri Glyn Thomas welcomed the fact the Welsh government had "made clear its preferred map", but criticised the plans for not integrating health and social care.
Liberal Democrat AM Peter Black said "shoving together existing councils in a botched party-political stitch-up serves no-one aside from the Labour party".
* There could be further consultation on merging Conwy and Denbighshire to create an additional council in north Wales.
COUNCIL LEADERS' REACTION
Blaenau Gwent: Labour leader Hedley McCarthy said it appeared "we are to be the periphery of a new mega-council which will be distant and remote from the people it is supposed to serve".
Denbighshire: Independent council leader Hugh Evans said the authority was "unclear about what, if any, review has led to the current proposed map".
But he said a possible consultation on combining Denbighshire with Conwy, rather than with Flintshire and Wrexham, deserved "serious consideration".
Gwynedd: Dyfed Edwards, a Plaid Cymru councillor, told BBC Radio Wales: "I do think in the north, dividing along north east and north west is right. I think two authorities is enough for the north."
Monmouthshire: Conservative Peter Fox accepted the need for some reform but expressed disappointment.
He said: "We're back to the future it looks like. I believe in local identity and local decision making, I believe that's really important to people."
Pembrokeshire: Independent council leader Jamie Adams said he was worried about the "obvious loss of local decision-making and accountability" and the "real damage reorganisation could do to a very successful brand".
"I am referring to the Pembrokeshire name, which is instantly recognisable to those living far outside our county and even beyond Wales," he said.
Rhondda Cynon Taf: Labour council leader Andrew Morgan said: "All council leaders will now need to consider the detail of the Welsh government's proposed map; I personally will want to remain focused on protecting the interests of services we provide to the communities we represent currently and the staff we employ to deliver them."
Swansea: Labour council leader Rob Stewart said he did not think the planned merger with Neath Port Talbot held "any fear" for the two authorities.
He said: "We already work as a city region. Swansea is undoubtedly the capital of that region but it doesn't mean people in other parts of the region should worry."
Vale of Glamorgan: Labour council leader Neil Moore said a plan for a voluntary merger involving his authority and Bridgend was turned down in January because it would cross a local health board boundary.
He called it "bizarre" and "galling" for Mr Andrews to now want Bridgend to join Merthyr and Rhondda Cynon Taf across another local health board boundary.
ANALYSIS BY VAUGHAN RODERICK
The third shake up in Welsh local government in 40 years would see the return of some familiar borders and names, the new all-purpose authorities roughly matching the eight counties which formed the upper tier of Welsh councils until 1996.
While some will welcome the return of historical names like Gwent and Dyfed - others would mourn the passing of the equally historic names like Pembrokeshire and Monmouthshire.
While sentiment may fire opposition to the changes in some areas, other will claim that the new authorities could prove remote and that any change would be a distraction at a time when local government is under severe financial pressure.
Meanwhile the issue is likely to figure heavily in next year's assembly election, with all three opposition parties opposing the government's map.

It is likely to include a scrappage scheme for older diesel cars in areas with high levels of dirty air.
Speed bumps could be removed in some cities to cut pollution from cars slowing down and speeding up.
Environmental lawyers ClientEarth said they would "thoroughly analyse" the proposals.
According to the Royal College of Physicians, air pollution across the UK is linked to around 40,000 premature deaths every year.
The UK has struggled to keep within EU limits on some pollutants, particularly nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is produced by diesel engines and is linked to a range of respiratory diseases including asthma. Some 37 of the 43 regions of the UK are in breach of NO2 limits.
Under earlier government plans, some parts of the UK would not have met EU NO2 standards until 2030. The original deadline to achieve these limits was 2010.
Exasperated by what they believed was government foot-dragging on the question of cleaner air, ClientEarth mounted a legal challenge to force faster action.
In April 2015, the UK Supreme Court ruled the government had to take immediate steps on the issue.
Unhappy with the timescales in the plan that was then produced, ClientEarth went to the High Court last November for a judicial review.
Once again the court supported the lawyers, telling the government that its scheme was "woefully inadequate" and giving ministers until 24 April this year to produce a new draft.
With a general election in the offing, the government last week asked the judge for permission to delay the draft plan. But Mr Justice Garnham disagreed and ordered publication by 9 May.
"These steps are necessary in order to safeguard public health," he said.
Earlier this week, the government said it would not appeal against the ruling and would publish.
In their previous plans, ministers wanted to create "clean air zones" in five cities outside London with high levels of NO2.
Only the most polluting vehicles would have to pay a charge to enter the zone under that scheme. The new draft plan is expected to create many more such zones.
Councils will be given the power to impose fines or restrictions on all polluting vehicles in these areas.
In the worst cities, so called "toxin taxes" could range up to £20 a day but the government is said to be keen not to punish drivers who bought diesels as a result of incentives brought in by a previous Labour administration. This is something that the lawyers at ClientEarth support.
"Successive governments have encouraged people to buy diesel. We don't want to see diesel drivers vilified, and we think the plans should also include properly funded incentives to help people move to cleaner forms of transport," said ClientEarth CEO James Thornton.
"We will thoroughly analyse the government's draft plans when they are produced. If we do not think they are in line with the court order, to deal with illegal levels of pollution as soon as possible, then we will consider our next steps."
According to newspaper reports, the government has agreed to back a "targeted" scrappage scheme for older diesel cars, but limited to vehicles in areas of high pollution. There may also be funding for a retrofitting scheme to help existing diesel car and van owners cut their emissions of NO2.
The government is also said to be pushing for councils to use alternatives to charging, including the removal of speed bumps in some places and the better sequencing of traffic lights in others. Both of these measures could limit cars having to slow down and speed up repeatedly, actions that can almost double the amount of NO2 produced.
However, the idea that speed bumps which slow down traffic would be sacrificed to help clean up the air we breathe is not a welcome concept according to road safety charity Brake.
"We ought not to be made to choose between having cleaner air and safer roads," a spokesman said.
"The evidence shows that air pollution is contributing to the early deaths of thousands of people. It's now clear that there's more than one way a car can kill you."
The new proposals will be out for consultation for six weeks before the government produces a final plan at the end of July.

The private Caixin/Markit manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) dropped to 47.8 in July from 49.4 in the previous month.
It is worse than a preliminary reading of 48.2 and is the fifth consecutive month of contraction in the sector.
A figure below 50 shows contraction in the sector and one above means growth.
The reading was the lowest since July 2013, when it fell to 47.7.
The disappointing results, which focus on small to mid-sized companies, come after the official survey over the weekend also showed signs of a slowing Chinese economy.
The official PMI, which focuses on larger companies, fell to 50 in July from 50.2 in June as growth stalled unexpectedly.
Bernard Aw, market strategist at trading firm IG said the data was not surprising and reinforced the view that there will be further weakness in the economy.
"I feel that the macro outlook of China - which is probably slowing further - has already been considered by the market," he said in a note on Monday.
The deterioration in China's vast manufacturing industry comes despite the government recently intervening heavily to boost the economy and stock market.
The central bank has already cut interest rates four times since November. It has also continuously eased lending rules for banks in aggressive measures to spur spending.
But manufacturers continued to cut production levels, with July seeing the fastest rate of contraction since November 2011.
Factory production - which contributes to the overall manufacturing activity reading- was at 47.1 in July, shrinking for the third month in a row. | Factory activity in the world's second largest economy, China, shrank the most in two years in July as new orders fell more than expected. | 33754851 | [

People will be able to subscribe to popular channels such as Discovery and Eurosport individually, without paying for a bundle of channels.
Until now, Prime Video has offered only on-demand films and TV shows in the UK.
But one analyst said the launch line-up of channels was "not immediately desirable" and would struggle to attract satellite TV customers.
"Amazon launched a similar thing in the US, and the big selling point was that you could get HBO and Showtime programmes, all under one umbrella," said Tom Harrington, an analyst at Enders.
"That's not going to happen here. Sky have HBO and Showtime locked down, at least for now, and will hold on to them aggressively.
"When you look at what's available in the UK, it does lack the wow factor."
Discovery Communications is providing the best-known pay-TV channels to the service, offering Eurosport for £6.99 a month and Discovery Channel for £4.99 a month.
Viewers must also pay for an Amazon Prime membership at £79 a year.
ITV will offer an ad-free version of its streaming service and access to its free channels - such ITV 2 and ITV Be - for a monthly fee of £3.99.
"This is a starting point," said Alex Green, managing director of Amazon Video.
"We're offering linear TV channels where it makes sense. We have a good spread of big partners and I'm sure that will only grow."
As well as the traditional television channels, viewers will be able to pay for curated "channels" of programmes to stream on-demand, such as the Yoga Anytime Channel, and Horse & Country Play, which is billed as the "home of equestrianism".
"The core of the experience on Prime Video is on-demand streaming, and that will still be the core of the experience," said Mr Green.
Mr Harrington said it would be difficult for streaming services to offer traditional television services at a competitive price.
"In the US, YouTube, Amazon, Apple and Facebook have been vocal about getting TV bundles together, but YouTube is the only one to have done it so far," he told the BBC.
"It's very hard to build from all these different suppliers and put these channels together at a price that is compatible to a cable offering."
Mr Green said Amazon wanted to offer customers more flexibility, by letting them subscribe to individual channels.
"Often people say they are subscribed to a big TV package but don't watch a lot of the channels," he told the BBC.
"Now people can try it out, pick and choose, and cancel at any time." | Amazon has announced it will offer live television channels via its Prime Video service, for an extra fee. | 39979009 | [

Moises Henriques hit 18 runs as the Sixers scored 22 in their extra over, while the Heat made 15 in reply.
Brendon McCullum had earlier scored 46 as the Heat compiled 167-9.
The Sixers looked well set after Henriques' 64, but Ben Dwarshuis had to score two runs off the final ball to tie the game at the Gabba.
Henriques then hit two sixes and a four in the super over.

Saturday's anti-fascist march in Brighton was held on the same day that a Great Skinhead Reunion also took place on the seafront.
The protest was initially organised to oppose an anti-immigration march that failed to materialise.
Police arrested 14 anti-fascists after an attack on three bald men.
Ch Supt Nev Kemp said some anti-fascists were "intent on violence".
He said the planned anti-immigration protest did not take place because protesters went to an event in Bristol instead.
"My understanding is that most of the protesters that said they might be coming to Brighton actually went up to Bristol, so they didn't appear," he said.
But he said the anti-fascist counter-protest did go ahead and he added: "There were a significant number who took part who were intent on violence and criminality."
The 14 anti-fascist campaigners - arrested on suspicion of violent disorder - were held after masked protesters were seen attacking three bald men, he said.
Sussex Police said 10 men and four women - most from Brighton, but two of no fixed address - had been bailed to dates in July pending further inquiries.
Mr Kemp said: "There were a number of people in the protest who showed they were actually - ironically, bearing in mind the protest is about tolerance - some of the most intolerant people you could come across.
"They were determined to cause damage and attack anybody really, any man with a bald head who looked like he might be from the right-wing."
Siriol Hugh-Jones, who took part in the protest, said: "Where I was there was very little sign of violence."
She added: "It was much more a carnival atmosphere.
"We were trying to be nice and fluffy and show how tolerant Brighton and Hove is and what a liberal society it is and celebrating that."
She said she marched behind some of the masked men but didn't know who they were. | A police chief has accused anti-fascist protesters of turning up at a demo prepared to attack "any bald men who looked right-wing". | 36458632 | [

At least 290 people were killed and hundreds more injured when the 6.2-magnitude quake struck in the early hours of Wednesday, 100km (65 miles) north-east of Rome.
The town of Amatrice was among the worst affected areas.
The service at St Andrew's Cathedral was led by the Archbishop of Glasgow, Philip Tartaglia.
It follows a similar event in Edinburgh on Sunday.
Ronnie Convery, director of communications for the Archdiocese of Glasgow, said there had been wide interest in the service from Scotland's Italian community.
"We are looking at something like 400 new arrivals from Italy every month at the moment in Glasgow and Edinburgh," he said.
"It's those people I notice on social media who have really taken up the information about the mass today.
"It's also interesting that in many cases people are not necessarily practicing Catholics but they just want to have that opportunity to be together, to meet, to do something." | A mass has been held in Glasgow to remember the victims of last week's earthquake in central Italy. | 37213052 | [

The 96-year-old announced his retirement in May, after decades of supporting the Queen, as well as attending events for his own charities and organisations.
Prince Philip is also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, but who is he and why is he so important?
The Duke of Edinburgh is the Queen's husband - they've been married for nearly 70 years.
They met while Prince Philip was an officer in the Navy during World War Two.
He and the Queen have four children: Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne.
Prince Philip is also the grandfather of Princes William and Harry, and the great-grandfather of Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Although he isn't the king, his job title is pretty special. He's the Queen's 'consort' - and his role is to support Queen Elizabeth II.
He now holds the record for the longest-serving consort in British history!
Prince Philip was born in 1921 on the Greek island of Corfu.
His family left Greece when Philip was just a one-year-old baby.
He spent his childhood in France, Germany and then here in Britain.
He celebrated his 96th birthday in June 2017.
Philip gave up his job in the Navy after Queen Elizabeth II's father died and she became Queen.
He has always thrown himself into his role of supporting her and has found a real passion in doing charity work.
One issue he cares about a lot is wildlife conservation - something he spoke to Newsround about back in 1986.
You may also have heard of one of his most important and famous charities: The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
It offers challenges and adventure to thousands of young people in the UK.
Since the Duke of Edinburgh's Award was launched in 1956, millions of young people have taken part in the scheme.
Philip also has a reputation for speaking his mind, and sometimes his comments have caused some people embarrassment.
However, he is also praised by many for his dedication and his unique way of doing things.
The Queen is not only the head of state of the UK but she's also Head of the Commonwealth - an association of 52 countries, many of which used to be part of the British Empire.
As well as visiting parts of the UK, part of the Queen's job involves visiting these other countries, meeting people and doing lots of charity work, which Prince Philip often helps her with.
Since 1952, Prince Philip has completed 22,219 royal engagements on his own.
Every year the Royal Family carry out over 2,000 official visits throughout the UK and worldwide.
As the Queen and the Duke have become older more of these royal duties have been passed to the younger members of the family.
While Prince Philip's diary of events will come to an end in August, Buckingham Palace has said he may still decide to attend certain events alongside the Queen in the future.
The Queen's public schedule will continue as normal. | The Queen's husband Prince Philip will take part in his final public meeting before he officially retires from royal duties. | 39802253 | [

A UN panel will now try to determine if the Syrian government was responsible, as the US has alleged.
The attack on Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province was the most deadly in Syria in more than three years.
It prompted a retaliatory US missile strike against a Syrian air base.
The fact-finding mission for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is based in The Hague, concluded that, after interviewing witnesses and examining samples, "a large number of people, some of whom died, were exposed to Sarin or a Sarin-like substance".
"It is the conclusion of the FFM (fact-finding mission) that such a release can only be determined as the use of Sarin, as a chemical weapon," a summary said.
The new report has been circulated among OPCW members but has not been made public.
A joint UN and OPCW investigation will now investigate who was to blame for the attack.
US President Donald Trump ordered a cruise missile strike on Shayrat air base after US officials concluded that the facility was where a Syrian Air Force jet had been armed with a Sarin-filled bomb.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has previously said that the incident was fabricated. | A fact-finding mission by chemical weapons watchdog the OPCW has concluded that the banned nerve agent Sarin was used in an attack in northern Syria in April that killed dozens of people. | 40453048 | [

Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the two sides "disagree on the facts, the narrative and the responsibilities" on Ukraine.
Relations between Russia and the West have been tense since Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in 2014.
Russia's envoy also criticised Nato for a military exercise in the Baltic.
Wednesday's talks in Brussels ran more than 90 minutes over schedule.
"Many allies disagree when Russia tries to portray [the Ukraine conflict] as a civil war," Mr Stoltenberg told a new conference.
"This is Russia destabilising eastern Ukraine, providing support for the separatists, munitions, funding, equipment and also command and control."
He added: "Nato and Russia have profound and persistent differences. Today's meeting did not change that."
Mr Stoltenberg said it was important to keep channels of communication open "to discuss our differences and to reduce the risk of military incidents".
He also said that the two sides had agreed on the importance of implementing the Minsk peace agreement, which has produced a fragile truce in eastern Ukraine.
Russia's envoy to Nato, Alexander Grushko, said a US guided-missile destroyer had sailed near the Russian port of Kaliningrad last week in an attempt "to exercise military pressure on Russia".
"We will take all necessary measures, precautions to compensate these attempts to use military force," he said.
In last week's incident, two Russian warplanes flew close to the US destroyer almost a dozen times in international waters in the Baltic Sea.
US officials described it as "an aggressive act".
The Nato-Russia Council was established in 2002. Although meetings at ambassadorial level have not taken place since June 2014, there has been other political dialogue.
Ukraine and the West accuse Russia of covertly backing the rebels who now control much of eastern Ukraine. Russia strongly denies the claims.
Nato has since moved to bolster its forces in its east European member states to counter what it says is a Russian military build-up.
Russia has described Nato's increasing presence in eastern Europe as a threat to its national security. | Differences over the conflict in eastern Ukraine have marked the first formal meeting of the Nato-Russia Council in almost two years. | 36094412 | [

In the other semi-final Salford Red Devils play Wigan Warriors, the only side outside of Super League's top four left in the competition.
Hull were the final side to confirm their place in the final four, after defeating Super League leaders Castleford 32-24 on Sunday.
The semi-finals will take place at neutral venues on the 28 and 29 July.
Hull FC are just one place and one point behind Rhinos in the Super League table, and Hull forward Mark Minichiello told the Rugby League Forum: "It's a tough game. It's at a neutral ground.
"They're playing really well at the moment, they're above us in the table, and they've got their mojo back.
"It's going to be a great outing and I can't wait for it. It's two form teams going at it in the semi-final."
Meanwhile, last season's Super League champions Wigan are down in eighth, while Salford, who only maintained their top-flight status with a Million Pound Game win last season, are second in the table.
Warriors full-back Sam Tomkins told BBC Sport: "I wouldn't say Salford have surprised me this season, they've got talented players.
"With (brother) Logan Tomkins being there, I speak to him about what they do, they've got a good set up.
"It's taken a bit of time for Salford to really get some consistent form and they've got it at the moment." | Defending champions Hull FC will play Leeds Rhinos in the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup. | 40319878 | [

The 22-year-old fractured her neck and back, dislocated her pelvis and slipped a disc in her neck after colliding with Elis Ligtlee during the omnium final.
Norfolk's Williamson spent four weeks in hospital after January's accident.
"They were pretty sure paralysis was going to be the outcome while I was in Rotterdam, but luckily I pulled through," she told BBC Look East.
"Being an athlete, I think they said because my neck and back were so strong I was able to withstand the force.
"Although I did break a few bones, my spinal cord stayed intact and I'm here to live another day."
Racing at the event was cancelled after the 2013 World Championships bronze medallist's crash, with fans asked to leave the velodrome.
"I have no memories, which is probably pretty good," she said. "It's not going to put me off in the future," she said.
"I remember holding onto the fence getting ready to roll up to the final and then next thing I know I was in hospital and someone was telling me I'd had an accident. I just responded with 'did I win?'. That was all I was worried about."
Williamson hopes to be back "easy riding" on a bike by the end of the summer and says she has the right support around her to make a full recovery.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I'm going to get back on a bike eventually," she added. "I've got no timescale yet, but I don't know what level I'll be able to get to. I'll give it a good go.
"I've got the full support team behind me, I've got physios, doctors. We've got the world's best. At the end of the day, we're a great programme, so I've got every chance of getting back to where I was." | Britain's Victoria Williamson says she is lucky not to be paralysed after her serious crash at Rotterdam's Zesdaagse. | 35764147 | [

A report into claims of bullying said British Cycling "lacked good governance" at board level.
Cookson, who led the organisation for 17 years before becoming UCI president, said: "If there was a lacking, I think we all share in that responsibility."
He added British Cycling had been scrutinised by UK Sport.
Asked if he was "pinning the blame" on the funding agency, he said: "As I understand it, they were closely involved in how things were managed and monitored.
"I'm not trying to dodge any of my responsibility. What I'm saying is there were other people with responsibilities as well."
The Phelps report into the culture of Britain's cycling team criticised former technical director Shane Sutton and UK Sport, and noted a "culture of fear" existed within the team, according to many staff members.
"I don't accept there was a culture of fear and I spent a lot of time at the National Cycling Centre," said Cookson, who is seeking re-election after joining the UCI in 2013.
However, he said Sutton should have been moved following recommendations from the King Review in 2012.
"One of the recommendations was that Shane be moved out of direct coaching with athletes," he said.
"As far as I understood in the first half of 2013, that was one of those action-plan elements that was implemented and it was after that in the middle of 2013 I became a candidate and then was elected to the UCI presidency."
Australian Sutton stayed on before resigning last year amid claims of sexism and was later found to have used sexist language towards cyclist Jess Varnish, though he was cleared of eight of the nine charges against him.

Cookson defended his record at British Cycling, saying: "I'm not making any excuses for my behaviour. I think we made incredible progress and some great achievements.
"The idea we had no respect for athlete welfare is wrong. The relationship between athletes and coaches was something we were concerned about from time to time. Action was taken."
And he disagrees with MP Damian Collins, who has called for board members from the period covered in the investigation to resign.
"My former colleagues at British Cycling have been committed to their sport over many years. Many of them are good people who have worked very hard," Cookson said.
UK Anti-Doping is also investigating allegations of wrongdoing against Team Sky and British Cycling, which both deny.
"The reputational problems that have been around that team in the past few months have not been helpful. I want to wait for the outcome of UK Anti-Doping's enquiries," he said.
Cookson said cycling had made significant progress in the battle against cheating during his tenure at the UCI.
"We were previously considered pariahs in the anti-doping world. Now we have one of he best reputations in sport, I believe," he added.
BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway
Brian Cookson wants to be re-elected later this year for a second term as president of cycling's world governing body, and sees a fresh mandate as his future.
However, his past is catching up with him.
After a 17-year period as the president of British Cycling many believe it's under his tenure that the rot set in within the organisation, a fact addressed and criticised in the recent Phelps review.
Cookson doesn't shirk responsibility for some of the major welfare issues that have occurred within British Cycling. But what is striking is that he refuses to accept wholesale blame.
In my interview with him, he points the finger firmly at UK Sport, saying one of their officials was embedded within the world-class cycling programme at the Manchester velodrome and was involved in management and monitoring.
Any "lacking" must be shared, he believes. His message is, in effect: 'Why should the blame fall only on my shoulders?'
Shane Sutton, according to the 2012 King report, should have been moved away from direct coaching with athletes. We now know he referred to disabled cyclists as "gimps and wobblies" in addition to his role in Jess Varnish's departure from the British team.
But Cookson points to the fact he moved in 2013 to be president of the UCI and, in his absence, Sutton carried on working with cyclists unimpeded and with serious consequences.
Again, Cookson's overarching message is clear: nothing to do with me, guv. | Brian Cookson, the head of cycling's world governing body, says blame for British Cycling's failings should not rest solely with him. | 40447597 | [

Real scored three goals in the first 16 minutes, with Karim Benzema heading the first from a James Rodriguez cross.
Ronaldo then added a penalty before Rodriguez scored with a deflected shot.
Ronaldo made it 4-0 by half-time with a fizzing effort before completing his hat-trick with a header, which was followed by a Oscar Duarte own goal.
With Rodriguez filling in for the injured Gareth Bale in Real's front three, Espanyol were ripped apart.
Ronaldo was the star as he moved level with Barcelona's Luis Suarez - on 19 goals - in the race to be La Liga's leading scorer.
It was a testing debut for Espanyol's new goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis, signed on loan from Watford during the week.
The Lithuania international faced England in a Euro 2016 qualifier in October, but his only previous start at club level this season was for the Hornets in a Capital One Cup defeat at Preston in August.
Arlauskis saved well from Ronaldo's early free-kick and could not be blamed for Real's three quick goals.
He also got a hand to Ronaldo's shot for his second goal, but the Portugal international's dazzling footwork deserved reward as he bamboozled the visiting defence to create space to score.
The goal rout ended when Costa Rica international Duarte turned Jese's low cross into his own net.

The classic adaptation, which opened on Wednesday, is presented on a set designed like a Victorian toy theatre.
Broadbent plays his role with an undercurrent of his well-known affability, according to the critics.
Yet he said his Scrooge had been partly inspired by modern bankers and the issue of pay-day loans.
"There are an awful lot of echoes of what's going on today. We don't mention pay day loans but it's implied," he said.
"It's not a faithful view of Victorian London. It's a subtle piece of writing that allows all sorts of elements in to make it more relevant.
"At the beginning of the play Scrooge presents himself as someone who's rather smooth and into marketing. He presents a benevolent front to the world so he can carry out his financial activities. "
The play is written by Patrick Barlow, with whom Broadbent performed for many years in the cult comedy troupe The National Theatre of Brent.
And the small cast - including actors Adeel Akhtar, Amelia Bullmore, Keir Charles and Samantha Spiro - play multiples roles alongside some ingenious and heart-rending puppetry.
Playwright Barlow said it had been a joy to bring Broadbent back to the stage.
"It was the clown in him that I first worked with and the clown in him that I wanted to work with again. I said it had to be Jim to play Scrooge because he can be tragic and terrible - and also hilarious."
The critics seemed largely to be won over by Broadbent's take on one of the meanest men in literature, despite concerns that the actor is just too nice to be convincing.
Dominic Cavendish of the Telegraph was among those won over: "The spirit is one of send-up; and Scrooge is, perhaps for the first time ever, having a laugh - albeit at the expense of the poor.... This is Dickens retained in cod-period yet nodding to our own banking age.
"All told, this is a surprising, quirky reading which traditionalists may find hard to stomach, but Dickens' hardy perennial is robust enough to take the knockabout."
Tiffany Pritchard of the Londonist said: "Furthering to the overall lighthearted, and equally over-the-top, tone is the wonderfully charismatic Jim Broadbent whose animated grumblings and comedic gestures make the otherwise cantankerous Ebenezer Scrooge almost endearing.
"With a few 'tickety-boos' and the occasional song and dance number, the show at times feels more panto than stage play — but judging from the finale's standing ovation — that's not a bad thing."
While Lyn Gardner of the Guardian described Broadbent's Scrooge as "genial and cuddly".
But she concludes: "All this is quite fun, warm and silly... Broadbent's Scrooge... is lovable and baby faced even when supposedly at his most curmudgeonly.
"The danger is that amid all this, bonhomie is lost. Scrooge's apparent change of heart is oddly sudden, and there's no sense that he has been on a real emotional journey - rather than simply a jokey one."
A Christmas Carol is at the Noel Coward Theatre until 30 January. | Jim Broadbent has returned to the stage for the first time in a decade to play Scrooge in a new West End version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. | 35059642 | [

But what really strikes you, especially in those initial developmental stages, is how familiar the forms look. How like an early human foetus, they appear.
"This is something you see time and time again in vertebrates, not just with mammals," says Richard Sabin, the Natural History Museum's top whale expert.
"You see these similarities in the early developmental stages and it's really not until you're halfway through the gestation - which for a humpback whale is around 11 months - that you start to see the things that make that foetus characteristically the species that it is."
Richard has a remarkable sequence of seven humpback foetuses that he's going to put on display for the NHM's major summer exhibition on cetaceans.
They go from what is essentially just a ball of cells that's perhaps only a few weeks old, all the way through to a specimen that appears to be a perfect humpback in miniature.
This larger foetus, about half a metre in length, is probably seven to eight months into the gestation period. It has everything you would expect to see in a humpback, including those long, tell-tale pectoral flippers with their nobbly tubercles.
The specimens were collected at the beginning of the 20th Century by scientists who had been sent to the Antarctic to gather data on the activities of the whaling fleets.
Their role was to understand the biology, the movements, and the ecology of whales - to appreciate the status of stocks so that the commercial returns could be maximised. It's an awkward feeling knowing that these foetuses were taken from harpooned pregnant humpbacks.
Somehow you have to console yourself with the recognition that the acquired data was ultimately what shut down that bloody industry.
"There is a story with every specimen and it may not be a very comfortable story, but it is something we have to acknowledge," says Richard.
"The thing to remember is that the data we get from these specimens we actively use for marine conservation purposes now."
Just this past week, a Swiss-led team used old whaling data to show how species had shrunk in size in the 40 years prior to the stocks collapsing. This trend signal, the team said, could be used to warn of imminent disaster in other hunted wildlife groups.
What have we learned from foetuses, specifically? A lot it seems about evolutionary biology.
"One thing we see in these humpbacks is the development of tooth buds at around four-to-five months into gestation. They're then reabsorbed to allow the baleen to start to develop," explains Richard. The baleen are the keratin plates that hang from the upper-jaw and filter the humpbacks' prey.
"So, we know from the study of these foetuses, from an evolutionary developmental perspective, that there was a time when all cetaceans were toothed and that baleen are a relatively recent development. And we've only just found the fossils that back that up."
The whales exhibition is due to open on 14 July, the day after the NHM re-opens its front entrance. The Hintze Hall has been remodelled. Its emblematic diplodocus ("Dippy") dinosaur is being replaced by a blue whale skeleton that will hang from the ceiling (Plot spoiler: I've had a sneak peek already and it looks spectacular).
So, it's certainly a timely moment to highlight the contribution of cetaceans to life on Earth.
More than 100 specimens from the London museum's collections are being set up in the institution's Waterhouse Gallery.
The exhibition will impress upon visitors the huge diversity of whales, dolphins and porpoises. It will explain their relatively short evolutionary journey, from being land animals 50 million years ago to becoming the well-adapted ocean-dwellers we know today.
And it will describe how they move, how they breathe, and how some echolocate to find their prey. It still astounds me that whales can communicate over many hundreds of kilometres.
"We want people to realise that as well as being mammals like us, they also have complex culture like us," says Richard. "This is a very new area of study that has accelerated in just the past 10 years through observations, through genetic information and the data coming from museum specimens."

Crews were called to the blaze at a building in Stewartville Street, in Partick, at about 12:15.
The fire broke out in a communal area of the block. Four people were treated at the scene for the effects of smoke inhalation.
The blaze triggered a large response from the emergency services.
A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "On arrival crews found a well-developed fire on the third floor of a six-storey residential block of flats with residents unable to leave the building.
"Firefighters quickly brought the fire under control, whilst at the same time rescuing 17 people from the property, some of whom were suffering from slight smoke inhalation and minor injuries."
Crews worked through the night to deal with any fire spread and make the scene safe.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "About 25 to 30 persons were evacuated."
The Scottish Ambulance Service sent four resources from their special operations response team, two A&E ambulances and an ambulance car.
A spokesman said: "We did not transport anyone to hospital. We dealt with smoke inhalation." | Firefighters have rescued 17 people from a six-storey block of flats in Glasgow's west end after a serious fire left them trapped in the building. | 36123749 | [

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (UOGB) said their reputation could be tarnished by the German-based United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra (UKUO).
The UOGB had sought a High Court injunction against the rival group of British players ahead of the UKUO's upcoming UK tour.
But the judge ruled in favour of the UKUO, saying it was not in competition.
Judge Richard Hacon agreed that, as the group had been performing in Germany for some years, the UOGB should have acted sooner.
Both orchestras perform their take on contemporary pop songs.
The UOGB, whose members dress like a traditional orchestra and sing and tell jokes on stage, have been performing for more than 25 years, released records and have appeared on television.
The British group took action ahead of the UKUO's first UK tour, which begins on 15 October in Lincoln.
"We have issued proceedings against a German-based musical group for registered trademark infringement. However the court didn't grant the injunction," UOGB founder George Hinchliffe told the BBC at the London court.
He added: "It's really not a policy of ours to comment upon litigation while it's still going through the courts. And we're a bit busy at the moment as we're just about to start a tour of China."
The court heard the UKUO performed in English and had a "certain English humour" which was aimed at the continental market and Germany in particular.
"We are very pleased with the outcome," said Peter Moss, UKUO musical director.
"Our view has always been that we never, ever wanted to have competition with the other side. We wish them well. We hope people will now come to see us play."
The UOGB said they was considering further legal action to protect their "name and reputation". | A British ukulele group has lost its trademark infringement battle against a rival band over its name. | 29342269 | [

The 24-year-old ex-Manchester United forward will stay at the City Ground until the end of the season.
Macheda has not started a Championship match this season, with all but one of his eight appearances for the Bluebirds coming as a substitute.
Meanwhile, Forest midfielder David Vaughan has signed a one-year contract until the summer of 2017.
But Andre Moritz, who Forest were chasing, will not be joining the club.
The deal for midfielder Moritz fell through because of complications getting him released from his contract with Thai Premier League side Buriram United.
Macheda began his career at Old Trafford and played for QPR, Stuttgart, Doncaster Rovers and Birmingham City on loan before joining Cardiff in May 2014.
He has only started 13 league games for the Welsh side and boss Russell Slade said they wanted him to "go and get a few games" - but confirmed there would be a 24-hour recall clause in any deal.

Routine monitoring by Argyll and Bute Council discovered raised levels of algal toxins in Loch Melfort and Seil Sound.
The naturally-occurring toxins were above the "legally-permitted levels for harvest".
Members of the public have been asked not to gather them.
The toxins accumulate in molluscs such as mussels, oysters, cockles and razor clams, and when levels breach statutory limits, harvesting of affected species is prohibited.
Elsewhere, raised levels of Escheria coli (E.coli) bacteria have been identified in Oitir Mhor Bay.
It follows the discovery of raised levels at Kerrera West, Loch Craignish, Kilfinichen Bay and Castle Stalker.
They were discovered by the council's environmental health team as part of their work to maintain the quality of shellfish.
Potential raised levels of E.coli were also found at Dunstaffnage, Kerrera East, Loch na Cille and Loch Riddon.
A council spokesman said: "Eating shellfish such as cockles, mussels, oysters and razor fish from affected areas can pose a risk to human health.
"Notices to warn the public and casual gatherers have been posted along the shore. Commercial shellfish harvesters in these areas have been contacted by the council and steps taken to postpone harvesting until bacterial levels subside.
"People are advised to avoid eating shellfish from these areas until further notice as a precaution. When levels subside, the warning notices will be removed." | People have been warned not to eat shellfish in parts of Argyll and Bute after raised levels of toxins were found. | 40463402 | [

Many of the elements that make up the foundation of the modern world originated in China, including paper, gunpowder, credit banking, the compass and paper money.
China stagnated for more than two decades under the rigid Communist rule of the founder of the People's Republic, Mao Zedong.
But China now has the world's fastest-growing economy and is undergoing what has been described as a second industrial revolution.
It has also launched an ambitious space exploration programme, involving plans to set up a space station by 2020.
The People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded in 1949 after the Communist Party defeated the previously dominant nationalist Kuomintang in a civil war.
The Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, creating two rival Chinese states - the PRC on the mainland and the Republic of China based on Taiwan.

Beijing says the island of Taiwan is a part of Chinese territory that must be reunited with the mainland.
The claim has in the past led to tension and threats of invasion, but since 2008 the two governments have moved towards a more cooperative atmosphere.
The leadership of Mao Zedong oversaw the often brutal implementation of a Communist vision of society.
Millions died in the Great Leap Forward - a programme of state control over agriculture and rapid industrialisation - and the Cultural Revolution, a chaotic attempt to root out elements seen as hostile to Communist rule.
However, Mao's death in 1976 ushered in a new leadership and economic reform. In the early 1980s the government dismantled collective farming and again allowed private enterprise.
The rate of economic change has not been matched by political reform, with the Communist Party - the world's largest political party - retaining its monopoly on power and maintaining strict control over the people.
The authorities still crack down on any signs of opposition and send outspoken dissidents to labour camps.
Nowadays China is one of the world's top exporters and is attracting record amounts of foreign investment. In turn, it is investing billions of dollars abroad.
The collapse in international export markets that accompanied the global financial crisis of 2009 initially hit China hard, but its economy was among the first in the world to rebound, quickly returning to growth.
In February 2011 it formally overtook Japan to become the world's second-largest economy, though by early 2012 the debt crisis in the eurozone - one of the biggest markets for Chinese goods - was beginning to act as a drag on China's growth.
As a member of the World Trade Organisation, China benefits from access to foreign markets. But relations with trading partners have been strained over China's huge trade surplus and the piracy of goods.
The former has led to demands for Beijing to raise the value of its currency, the renminbi, which would make Chinese goods more expensive for foreign buyers and possibly hold back exports. Beijing has responded with a gradual easing of restrictions on trading in the currency.
Some Chinese fear that the rise of private enterprise and the demise of state-run industries carries heavy social costs such as unemployment and instability.
Moreover, the fast-growing economy has fuelled the demand for energy. China is the largest oil consumer after the US, and the world's biggest producer and consumer of coal. It spends billions of dollars in pursuit of foreign energy supplies. There has been a massive investment in hydro-power, including the $25bn Three Gorges Dam project.
The economic disparity between urban China and the rural hinterlands is among the largest in the world. In recent decades many impoverished rural dwellers have flocked to the country's eastern cities, which have enjoyed a construction boom.
By the beginning of 2012, city dwellers appeared to outnumber the rural population for the first time, according to official figures.
Social discontent manifests itself in protests by farmers and workers. Tens of thousands of people travel to Beijing each year to lodge petitions with the authorities in the hope of finding redress for alleged corruption, land seizures and evictions.
Other pressing problems include corruption, which affects every level of society, and the growing rate of HIV infection. A downside of the economic boom has been environmental degradation; China is home to many of the world's most-polluted cities.
Human rights campaigners continue to criticise China for executing hundreds of people every year and for failing to stop torture, as well as for continuing to censor political and artistic expression.
The country is keen to stamp down on what it sees as dissent among its ethnic minorities, including Muslim Uighurs in the north-west.
Chinese rule over Tibet is controversial. Human rights groups accuse the authorities of the systematic destruction of Tibetan Buddhist culture and the persecution of monks loyal to the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader who is campaigning for autonomy within China. | China is the world's most populous country, with a continuous culture stretching back nearly 4,000 years. | 13017879 | [

The Grade II-listed market cross in Ilchester was knocked down after being hit by a car on Friday.
A 28-year-old man was arrested by police in the early hours on suspicion of drink driving.
Town trustee Graham Mottram, said: "Our major challenge is to put the monument back together again using as much of the original material as we can."
The cross is a Grade II-listed building, which dates from about 1795.
Mr Mottram said they will need to find a stonemason and "some pretty big lumps of ham stone" to replace the column.
"The base has been dismantled by the impact and we're going to have a structural survey as to what needs to be done to stabilise the base," he said.
"I certainly expect it will cost us a five-figure sum, running into six." | Repair work to a Somerset monument destroyed in a crash will run into five figures, the town trust has said. | 40836654 | [

The biggest is a $47.5bn (£38.6bn) civil claim brought by Brazil's federal prosecutors, the companies said.
Under the deal, the firms will provide an initial $681m in compensation.
The collapse of the dam, containing waste from an iron ore mine, killed 19 people and created a river of millions of tonnes of toxic waste.
It killed 19 people and is Brazil's worst ever mine disaster.
The agreement, between the companies and prosecutors, will see experts appointed to advise the federal prosecutors on the impacts of the dam disaster and any changes that might be needed to social and environmental remediation programs agreed last May.
It does not cover the potential size of the final liabilities to be agreed by the end of June.
BHP spokesman, Paul Hitchins, said the settlement simplified matters: "This spells out how and when we are going to settle this with the prosecutors.
"Up until this time we had all these different courts hearing the case. This consolidates all that."
The companies said they still had not agreed how and when the mine would be able to re-open.
They said any restart was subject to separate negotiations and would only happen once it was safe to do so and economically viable.
It also needed the support of the devastated local community. | BHP Billiton and Vale have agreed a deadline of 30 June to consolidate and settle claims resulting from Brazil's Samarco dam disaster in 2015. | 38675117 | [

He also cancelled an investigation into claims of abuse of power revealed by covert recordings, saying he wanted to "put an end to the agony" ahead of early elections in June.
But his move was condemned both by the opposition and by EU officials.
Macedonia has been in turmoil since the recordings were released in 2015.
In a televised address on Tuesday, President Ivanov said he acted to "defend national interests".
"I've decided to put an end to the agony and, metaphorically speaking, to cut a knot,'' he said, without referring to any politicians by name.
Opposition leader Zoran Zaev said the move was illegal, urging protesters to gather in the capital Skopje. A crowd of several hundred people later gathered outside the prosecutor's office.
Meanwhile, EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn said: "Today's actions of President Ivanov are not in line with my understanding of rule of law."
Mr Hahn added that the move put Macedonia's EU membership ambitions at risk.
The crisis was sparked by covert recordings which appear to show ministers plotting vote-rigging and the cover-up of a murder.
Mr Zaev has been releasing a steady stream of recordings since February 2015, accusing the government of wiretapping 20,000 people, including politicians, journalists and religious leaders.
He says that scores of leaked recordings reveal corruption at the highest levels of government, including the mismanagement of funds, dubious criminal prosecutions of opponents and even cover-ups of killings.
The government denies the accusations, and in return has accused Mr Zaev of trying to "destabilise" the Balkan nation.
He rejects the claim. | Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov has issued a pardon to all politicians embroiled in a big corruption scandal that sparked a major political crisis. | 36031417 | [

Carrick, 34, suffered the injury late on in Alicante on Friday evening and left the pitch on a stretcher.
England boss Hodgson said: "Michael has got a severely twisted ankle which normally means ligament damage.
"We won't know that of course until he's had an X-ray or a scan, but it doesn't look good."
Carrick will definitely miss Tuesday's scheduled friendly with France at Wembley.

The England and Wales Cricket Board made the move in an attempt to improve the standard of pitches and Rhodes says it has already made a difference.
"I think it has," he told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"If you look back, there have been some very poor wickets - maybe this was the only way they could do it."
The 51-year-old former England wicketkeeper added: "I think, to a certain extent, it's worked.
"There have been some criticisms about wickets being too flat but if you're prepared to bat for a long period of time and concentrate, you'll get runs."
Worcestershire's two Championship matches so far - which have both been draws - have produced eight centuries, with five coming in the match against Gloucestershire and three more in their last game with Essex.
England all-rounder Moeen Ali, Joe Clarke, Brett D'Oliveira and Tom Kohler-Cadmore have all reached three figures for the New Road side and Rhodes says better pitches will help sort out the best players.
"Too many good players were playing forward defensive shots and getting out to average bowlers - that's what was happing before with the wickets," he added.
"Now those bowlers are struggling a little bit - which I think is a good thing." | Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes says the decision to scrap the toss in the County Championship this season looks like it is working. | 36213054 | [

The Office for National Statistics said the quantity of goods bought between April and May fell by 1.2%, which was worse than economists had expected.
Compared with a year earlier, sales volumes were up by 0.9% - the weakest annual growth rate since April 2013.
The ONS said that higher prices across all sectors "seem to be a significant factor in slowing growth".
Data showed that average store prices rose by 2.8% over the year, which the ONS said was the largest increase since March 2012.
One of the key factors behind the rise in prices has been the fall in the value of the pound since last year's Brexit referendum, which has increased the cost of imports.
Non-food stores were the main contributor to the slowdown after reporting an annual sales fall of 1.2%. However, food retailers reported growth of just 0.1% - the slowest since July 2013.
Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said: "It's hard to see the trend in retail sales improving soon. Retailers have not finished yet passing on higher import prices to consumers, wage growth looks set to remain depressed and banks are reporting that they intend to restrict the supply of unsecured credit."
Keith Richardson, head of retail at Lloyds Bank, said: "Shoppers are actually tightening their belts, switching to supermarkets' own-brand products, while the discounters are also enjoying renewed growth.
"They're also prioritising their spending, with non-food sales suffering so that consumers can still afford to put a treat in the trolley when buying their groceries."
The gap between wages and inflation is continuing to widen.
Data released on Wednesday revealed that average earnings fell in real terms by 0.6% in April compared with same month last year.
Inflation stands at 2.9% - far above the Bank of England's 2% target. The Bank is due to announce its latest interest rate decision at midday.
While it is not expected to make any change to rates, investors will scrutinise the minutes from the most recent meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee for clues about inflation. | Retail sales fell in May as shoppers began to feel the effect of higher inflation. | 40285281 | [
