The firm regularly gives away free toys via the paper, but said there would be no more "in the foreseeable future".
Lego did not say why the tie-up had ended - but said it had listened carefully to parents and grandparents.
Stop Funding Hate has lobbied firms to stop advertising with some newspapers.
The group, formed in the summer, has criticised several national newspapers for "portraying migrants in overwhelmingly negative terms" and whipping up hatred before and after the EU referendum.
It has urged companies including John Lewis, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer to stop advertising with the Daily Mail, the Sun and Daily Express.
Responding to a tweet from Stop Funding Hate, Lego confirmed its promotional agreement with the Mail had ended.
A spokesman said: "We don't comment about dialogues with 3rd parties. But our main purpose is to create Lego experiences for kids.
"The agreement with the Daily Mail has finished and we have no plans to run any promotional activity with the newspaper in the foreseeable future."
Lego told the BBC it spends "a lot of time listening to what children have to say. And when parents and grandparents take the time to let us know how they feel, we always listen just as carefully."
It added: "We are both humbled and honoured to see how much consumers all over the world express their care for our company and our brand.
"And we will continuously do our very best to live up to the trust and faith that people all around the world show us every day."
The Mail has not commented on Lego's announcement, other than to say: "Our agreement with Lego has ended and we have no plans to run any promotional activity with Lego in the foreseeable future."
Lego's Daily Mail promotions - in which readers are offered a coupon with which they can claim a free Lego toy at a specific retailer - have been run at regular periods dating back to at least 2013.
Before that, the Danish firm ran similar giveaways with the Sun.
The Mail is the UK's second most-read daily newspaper and boasts almost 15m readers a day online - the biggest of any British newspaper.
Last week, a letter from a British father to Lego was shared online, in which he criticised the toy manufacturer for advertising with the Mail.
Bob Jones said the newspaper had "gone too far" and said he believed Lego's links with the Mail were "wrong".
He wrote: "Lego, to me has always been an inclusive product. Breaking barriers between gender, building children's imagination and confidence to do their own thing. Something adults and children can and do, bond over."
"Your links to the Daily Mail are wrong. And a company like yours shouldn't be supporting them.
The news was announced a week after the Daily Mail and Daily Express faced criticism for their headlines reporting the High Court ruling that Parliament must be given a vote before the government can trigger Article 50 to formally start the process of the UK's exit from the EU.
The Daily Mail branded judges "Enemies of the people", while the Daily Express said it was "the day democracy died".
The Bar Council demanded that the Lord Chancellor, Liz Truss, defend the judges who made the ruling, saying that they were coming under an "unprecedented" attack just for "doing their job". | Lego has announced its promotional giveaways with the Daily Mail have ended - amid a campaign to stop firms advertising with some newspapers over "divisive" coverage of migrants. | 37962425 | [

The Argentina forward, 28, is serving a three-match ban for his violent conduct in City's 3-1 win against West Ham.
Aguero has scored three goals in three Premier League matches this season, but Mourinho says his absence makes Pep Guardiola's side "unpredictable".
"He doesn't play and they have amazing options," said Mourinho.
"It is more difficult. When Sergio Aguero is available he plays, we know their formation."
Mourinho suggested any one of Kelechi Iheanacho, Raheem Sterling or David Silva could start as a "false nine" in the derby at Old Trafford.
"We have to reduce the unpredictability," added the Portuguese.

The west African nation branded the 54-member grouping, which includes the UK and most of its former colonies, a "neo-colonial institution".
The withdrawal was announced on state TV but no other reasons were given.
Two years ago President Yahya Jammeh accused the UK of backing his political opposition ahead of elections.
Commonwealth officials said they only heard about the move through the media and had not yet been contacted by The Gambia.
A spokesman said Secretary-General Kamalesh Sharma had seen the reports with "dismay and disappointment" and had asked for "clarification" from the country.
There is a history of tension between President Jammeh, who came to power in a 1994 coup, and the UK.
Earlier this year, a Foreign Office report singled out The Gambia for its human rights record, citing cases of unlawful detentions, illegal closures of newspapers and discrimination against minority groups.
On Thursday a Foreign Office spokesman said: "Decisions on Commonwealth membership are a matter for each member government. We would very much regret Gambia, or any other country, deciding to leave the Commonwealth."
In August last year The Gambia was criticised by Amnesty International and others for executing nine prisoners by firing squad.
The Commonwealth was founded in 1931 but acquired its modern shape after 1949 as former British colonies and protectorates, including The Gambia, started to achieve self-government and varying degrees of independence.
According to the Commonwealth's charter, member states should communicate and co-operate "in the common interests of our peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace".
In its statement, The Gambian government said it had "withdrawn its membership of the British Commonwealth".
It said it had "decided that The Gambia will never be a member of any neo-colonial institution and will never be a party to any institution that represents an extension of colonialism".
But Bakary Dabo, former vice president of The Gambia and chairman of the country's campaign for democratic change, said people there are generally "very happy" to be part of the Commonwealth.
He said the government had recently begun "picking up war against poorly specified enemies called 'western powers'".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Dabo said this rhetoric had "accelerated" in recent years and been used when President Jammeh gave a "rambling" speech at the United Nations General Assembly last month
Also at the UN, President Jammeh said homosexuality was one of the three "biggest threats to human existence".
He has also drawn international criticism for claiming he can cure Aids with a herbal body rub and bananas.
BBC Africa analyst Farouk Chothia said despite its image as an idyllic holiday destination, The Gambia, and its population of less than two million, were kept under tight control by its eccentric leader.
The latest decision was bound to come from him, our analyst added.
The Royal Commonwealth Society, an education charity which works in Commonwealth countries, said The Gambia's announcement was unexpected and appeared to be undemocratic.
Society director Michael Lake said President Jammeh had made the decision "without consulting The Gambia's people" and the country's withdrawal would be "a loss felt by both its people and the wider Commonwealth network".
He added: "Far from being a 'neo-colonial institution', the modern Commonwealth operates on a consensus model and its voluntary membership is predicated primarily on a country's commitment to upholding shared values and principles."
The last time a nation left the Commonwealth was in 2003, when Zimbabwe withdrew.
The Queen, who is 87, is the head of the Commonwealth, which holds its next heads of government meeting in Colombo, Sri Lanka, next month.
However, the gathering will be the first that the Queen has not attended since 1971. She will send her son, the Prince of Wales instead. Buckingham Palace said she would make fewer overseas trips because of her age.
Three African countries have joined the Commonwealth in recent years. Rwanda was admitted in 2009 after applying for membership the previous year, while Cameroon and Mozambique became members in 1995. | The Gambia's decision to withdraw from the Commonwealth 48 years after joining is something to "very much regret", the UK Foreign Office has said. | 24376127 | [

Wenger, whose club contract runs to the summer, has been linked with the job.
Southgate succeeded Sam Allardyce in September and oversaw England's 2-0 win against Malta as well the disappointing 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Tuesday.
Wenger said Southgate "has accumulated experiences and is a good observer of what's going on in the national team."
Of his own links to the role, the 66-year-old Frenchman added: "I focus on my job, that's what it is about."
Former England international Southgate, 46, has a World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Wembley on 11 November and a friendly against Spain four days later to persuade the Football Association to give him the job on a permanent basis.
Wenger continued: "We're in a job where you get questioned, especially if you have less experience, and the only answer he can give is by showing the decisions he makes are right.
"There's always a demand for big names but the most important thing is the person's competency. He has a good opportunity and I'm happy he has a chance to show he has the quality."
Speaking before his side's game against Swansea on Saturday, Wenger added that 21-year-old defender Hector Bellerin would be offered a new contract by the club.
The Arsenal right-back has been linked with a move, with both Barcelona and Manchester City said to be interested, but Wenger said he was "surprised" by the speculation surrounding the Spain international, who progressed through Barcelona's La Masia academy before joining Arsenal in 2011.
"He has nearly three years to go and we always try get the players to the level where we think they deserve to be. So we try to extend, certainly, his contract," said Wenger.
"For me, his long-term future is here."
Wenger added that midfielder Aaron Ramsey, 25, will miss "one or two" more games, having injured a hamstring during Arsenal's opening-day Premier League defeat by Liverpool on 14 August.

Kelso, Galashiels, Peebles, Hawick, Selkirk and Eyemouth saw increases but numbers fell in Duns and Jedburgh.
Figures in Melrose also rose sharply compared with 2014 but exceptionally low levels were recorded that year due to "atrocious weather".
Councillor Stuart Bell said it was "pleasing" to see numbers rising.
A survey has been carried out across the region since 2007.
The latest figures were collected during September and October 2015 with the rise in the region higher than the Scottish average of 2%.
Last year numbers fell by 11% but this was largely blamed on the very low levels recorded in Melrose.
Mr Bell said: "These figures are only ever going to give us a snapshot of a short period of time and can fluctuate depending on weather, however it is pleasing to see that overall average footfall has increased and the figures for several towns are particularly encouraging.
"We need to build on these increases in footfall and the council, partner and community organisations and businesses can all play their part in that, making our town centres as attractive as possible to local shoppers and visitors to the Borders.
"This study started in 2007 and has in effect charted the impact of the recession and increase in internet shopping on our town centres, which largely accounts for the 23% reduction in footfall over that period."
He said the issues were not unique to the Borders and would remain challenges in the longer term. | A town centre footfall study in the Borders has recorded a 6% rise across eight main towns in the region in 2015 compared with the previous year. | 35233119 | [

The allegations relate to Mr Olmert's time as Jerusalem mayor in the 1990s.
Mr Olmert, who resigned as prime minister in 2009, has already been charged in three unrelated corruption cases. He denies any wrongdoing.
The latest charges concern the construction of a luxury residential complex in Jerusalem called Holyland which is built on a prominent hilltop.
Prosecutors claim that millions of dollars changed hands illegally to facilitate a series of property deals.
Jerusalem's planning laws were altered to enable the complex to be built. The project's developers have also been charged in the case.
Haaretz newspaper describes the case as one of the largest corruption scandals in Israel's history.
The former prime minister denies any wrongdoing and has called the investigation a "witch hunt".
Mr Olmert was mayor of Jerusalem from 1993 - 2003, then became a minister in the Israeli cabinet. He took over as prime minister in 2006 after Ariel Sharon suffered a stroke.
His three-year premiership was dogged by corruption allegations, and he eventually agreed to stand down.
Mr Olmert has pleaded not guilty in the separate proceedings against him, in which he is accused of taking cash for favours and double-billing for overseas trips. | The former Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, has been charged with taking bribes in a property scandal. | 16425054 | [

Racism in football has hit the headlines at Premiership level recently, but a BBC Wales investigation indicates it's also a feature of the amateur and grassroots game in Wales.
Teams from black and ethnic minority communities have told Radio Wales' Eye on Wales programme of the comments, abuse and hostility they say they encounter at some matches, from players, spectators and even match officials.
There have been a number of racial incidents at football matches in Wales over the past year, including last April when a linesman at a Welsh League game between Cwmbran Town FC and Grange Harlequins FC, from Cardiff, was disciplined by the Football Association of Wales for a comment made to a player.
He was fined £750 and banned from the Cwmbran Town ground for five months.
And last August, Pontypridd team Graig FC were disciplined by the South Wales Football Association for misconduct after supporters of the side were racially abusive towards visiting STM Sports FC, from Llanrumney, Cardiff.
Mohamed Dualeh, secretary and manager of Tiger Bay FC, made up of predominantly Somali players from south Cardiff, told the programme of an incident in a game in which his team played.
"The team that we were playing, one of our players was involved in a rough challenge. The referee decided that was worth a red card," he said.
"The referee pulled his red card and issued to the wrong player. The team captain approached the referee and said 'ref, you are sending off the wrong player.'
"He looked at the player and said 'you all look like the same.'
"The wrong player walked off the pitch and served a three-match ban when he's not the one who was involved."
Sunil Patel, campaigns manager for Show Racism the Red Card in Wales, who provide anti-racism education and awareness training, said the organisation would be launching a campaign later this year to encourage players to report incidents of racism, in the hope of obtaining a clearer picture of the extent of the problem.
"We've had reports for about five years, since we were established," said Mr Patel.
"Things that players and clubs tell us is about the racism that's coming from the fans, specifically in areas that are not that diverse, reports of referee bias maybe towards the other team, also players being racist towards other players on the pitch as well.
"We are hearing this on a regular basis, really."
A recent online survey by Staffordshire University, of 2,000 football fans and players, concluded that around 60% had witnessed or experienced racism in football since 2000.
Professor Ellis Cashmore, who led the study, told the programme: "It's almost like a knee jerk response, that it's part of football culture that you give the black player a hard time through hissing and booing and racial abuse, and it's just gone either unnoticed or, my own suspicion, is that it's been deliberately ignored.
"You would assume it would have disappeared completely but it hasn't, its still there, it's been there consistently, and in recent months we've seen it flare up in the most dramatic fashion."
The regional football associations and Football Association of Wales are responsible for dealing with complaints and disciplinary issues.
FAW spokesman Ian Gwyn Hughes told Eye on Wales the governing body took a "zero tolerance" approach to racism and supported the work of Show Racism the Red Card.
Eye on Wales is broadcast at 13:04 GMT on Sunday 11 March on BBC Radio Wales. | It's the ugly side of the beautiful game. | 17324855 | [

The 22-year-old former Wales Under-20 international made his Dragons debut at 17, making him the youngest player to ever represent the region.
He will fill the gap left by Micky Young and Peter Stringer, who will leave the club in the summer.
Evans will compete for a place in Bath's side with Chris Cook, Will Homer and new arrival Niko Matawalu.
"Having known Jonny since he was a youngster and seen his development for myself, I know he'll fit right in here," said Bath coach Darren Edwards, who worked with Evans at Dragons and with Wales U20s.
"He brings a spark to the game and he's very much at an exciting stage of his career. He's joining a club that has a fantastic forward pack and he'll thrive on playing off such a strong platform." | Bath have agreed a deal for Newport Gwent Dragons scrum-half Jonathan Evans for next season. | 31603031 | [

John Leathem, 32, will now serve at least 23 years in prison. He had originally been sentenced to a minimum of 27 years in jail.
Leathem stabbed the 15-year-old 61 times after she stopped at his delicatessen in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, in March.
Paige's family said there were no words to describe their feelings.
The teenager's body was found in woods in March last year.
Leathem admitted her murder and claimed to have "panicked" after Paige threatened to report him for sexual assault after she applied for a job.
His car was filmed on CCTV at the site where her body was dumped - a wooded area close to Glasgow's Great Western Road, less than a mile from the deli.
Lawyers for Leatham told the court that he had no previous convictions and had shown genuine remorse.
His original life sentence, with a minimum term of 27 years, had been fixed because of the brutality of the killing and because he had hidden her body.
However, his lawyers argued that Leathem had actually left the body where it could easily be discovered, unlike in the case of Alexander Pacteau, who had murdered student Karen Buckley and attempted to dispose of her body in an acid bath.
Pacteau was also sentenced to a minimum of 27 years. The judges in Edinburgh agreed, and reduced Leatham's minimum term to 23 years.
A statement posted on the Justice For Paige Facebook page said: "The man who brutally murdered a 15-year-old defenceless child has been given more time off his sentence.
"He will only have to serve 23 years. There is no words to describe how we feel.
"It's heartbreaking and serves no justice to Paige and her family. She had her whole life ahead of her and it's been ripped apart. In 23 years her killer will walk the streets."
In delivering his ruling, appeal judge Lord Turnbull said of Leathem: "The appellant in the present case engaged in a brutal, savage and frenzied attack on a young defenceless child before attempting to cover up his actions.
"In the course of that attack, he appears to have struck her in the region of 146 times.
"Each case must be determined upon its own facts and those just identified demonstrate that the appellant committed a most appalling murder.
"Even in such cases though, all of the relevant circumstances require to be given proper weight before the appropriate sentence can be identified.
"The appellant was a family man of previous good character who had not offended before and who had expressed remorse. The murder was not premeditated."
He added: "When these circumstances are all taken account of, we think it can be said that the length of the punishment part selected in this case was inconsistent with current sentencing practice and was excessive." | A shop owner who murdered schoolgirl Paige Doherty in a frenzied knife attack has had his sentence reduced. | 39001788 | [

The Muslim Brotherhood's political wing, the Islamic Action Front, called for broader political representation and a more democratic parliament.
People at the protest chanted: "The people want to reform the regime."
On Thursday evening, the king dissolved parliament and called early elections, though he did not specify a date.
He has said he wants polls to be held by the end of the year.
The IAF said it expected 50,000 people to take part in the protest outside the capital's al-Husseini mosque after Friday prayers. But the BBC's Wyre Davies put the turnout at 10,000 people, which he said was the biggest protest seen in Jordan for several years.
Video footage showed protesters chanting slogans and waving flags. The AFP news agency quoted people as shouting: "We demand constitutional reform before the people revolt. The people want to reform the regime."
A counter-rally, in support of King Abdullah, which organisers had predicted would attract 200,000 supporters, was cancelled late on Thursday in order to prevent clashes between the two groups.
Earlier, police said they had detained eight people travelling towards the rally and had seized three vehicles containing sticks, knives and guns.
Friday's protest in the capital and the dissolution of parliament come amid mounting opposition anger at the electoral law passed in July by the government of the conservative Prime Minister Fayez al-Tarawneh.
The electoral law increased the number of seats in the House of Representatives from 120 to 150 seats and gave the electorate two votes - one for a district representative and one for national level lists that include political parties - replacing the single non-transferable vote.
The IAF's leader, Hamza Mansour, dismissed the legislation as "just a cosmetic change meant to buy time and insufficient for real reforms".
Opposition parties demanded that 50% of seats be allocated to party lists, but the new electoral law gave them just 27 seats, or 18%.
They also complained that the new law would strengthen supporters of the king by allocating three more seats for women from Bedouin districts.
This, they argued, would continue to marginalise Jordanians of Palestinian origin - who make up 60% of the population but have little political power - in favour of those descended from Jordan's original Bedouin inhabitants - whose tribes dominate the government and security forces and are the bedrock of the Hashemite monarchy.
Traditionally, many of the IAF's supporters have been Jordanians of Palestinian origin.
The opposition also demanded that parliament, rather than the king, should have the right to appoint and dismiss the prime minister.
Despite the call for reforms, Jordan has so far avoided the unrest and political upheaval that rocked much of the Arab world last year. Protests have been relatively small and have not gained the same level of political momentum as those in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria.

The woman was taken to hospital after the incident involving a male inmate at Maghaberry Prison, near Lisburn, on Monday.
Adrian Smith from the Prison Officers Association (POA) told BBC News NI the woman was one of the newer prison officers.
He said he believed she was attacked with a weapon "made from a razor".

The US network said it was "not an easy decision" and had "enormous respect" for its creators and cast.
Set in the 1970s, the series told of a charismatic record executive trying to revive his struggling label.
Its ensemble cast included Bobby Cannavale in the lead role, Olivia Wilde as his wife and Sir Mick's son James as a rebellious British singer.
Sir Mick and Scorsese were among the show's executive producers, with the latter directing its pilot episode.
The series premiere in February was watched by 764,000 viewers, though the average audience subsequently dipped to 650,000.
"After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with a second season of Vinyl," HBO said in a statement.
"We have enormous respect for the creative team and cast for their hard work and passion on this project."
Ray Romano, another actor in the cast, told an Australian newspaper on Thursday the cancellation felt like "a knife in the guts".
Wilde, meanwhile, thanked her Twitter followers for their "kind words" and said she had been part of "something special". | Sir Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese's music business-based drama Vinyl has been cancelled by HBO after one season. | 36604532 | [

British Transport Police said officers were called by paramedics to Marston Road level crossing near Lidlington, Bedfordshire, at 10:00 GMT.
The car had been hit by the Bedford to Bletchley London Midland Service. Eleven passengers and two members of staff were on board but no-one was injured.
Disruption on the line was expected until 15:00 GMT, Network Rail said.
Police said the death of the man, who was believed to be middle-aged, was not being treated as suspicious "at present".
"However officers continue to examine exactly how the car came to be on the tracks," a spokesman said.

One of the passengers on board the train, Kieran Sargent, said he "heard this sound that wasn't right".
"I was standing up next to the train driver," he said. "All of a sudden there was an almighty bang. The driver tried to brake but there was nothing she could do".
He said he saw the car and it was "absolutely obliterated".
"There was nothing left," he added.
Mr Sargent said the other passengers and the driver were all "shocked" by the incident.
"I've been shaking since I got off."
Bedfordshire Police advised drivers to avoid the area, while London Midland said taxis and minibuses replaced cancelled services between Bedford and Bletchley.
BBC Three Counties Radio reporter Usman Azad said the driver of the Bedford to Bletchley London Midland train looked "visibly distraught".
The crossing features what Network Rail described as a "half barrier", where only part of the road is blocked off.
A nearby resident, who did not wish to be named, said "people try to dodge the barriers".
"People always try to jump it because they can't wait for the train to come through," he said.
The crossing is used by about 36 trains and 1,200 vehicles each day. Trains can pass through at up to 60mph (96kmph). | A man died when the car he was in was hit by a train at a level crossing. | 38497315 | [

Wenger, 67, was charged with verbally abusing and pushing fourth official Anthony Taylor after being sent off.
Wenger reacted angrily to Burnley being awarded a 93rd-minute penalty.
He misses Saturday's FA Cup tie against Southampton and Premier League games against Watford, Chelsea and Hull.
Burnley scored the penalty at Emirates Stadium on Sunday to level the scores at 1-1.
After being sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss, Wenger moved away from the pitch but stood at the tunnel entrance and refused to move as he tried to watch the remaining few minutes of Sunday's match.
As Taylor encouraged him to move away, Wenger was seen to push back against him.
Arsenal were then given a penalty of their own, which was converted by Alexis Sanchez.
Immediately after the match, Wenger apologised, saying: "I should have shut up - I apologise for not having done that.
"It was nothing malicious. I should have kept my control, even if it was in a hectic time."

Bevan, 18, who won team silver at the World Championships in Glasgow last month, has had surgery.
He broke his left tibia and fibia after landing on a concrete floor in what he described as a "freak accident".
He wrote on Instagram that the injury was heartbreaking and the "lowest low" after "such a high of the Worlds".
British Gymnastics' medical team is expected to issue more information on the teenager's injury on Tuesday.
It is yet unclear whether the Essex-based gymnast has a chance of returning to fitness to secure one of three individual spots available on the British team, as well as a place in the team event, at next summer's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
"All my emotions just erupted and I've found myself constantly in tears," Bevan said.
"This may be a big stepping stone to overcome but most, if not all, successful athletes have had to overcome adversity to reach their goals.
"That moment at the World Championships I will never forget and it's something I want to feel again." | British gymnast Brinn Bevan suffered a double leg break while vaulting on Saturday, putting in doubt his hopes of competing at next year's Olympics. | 34908055 | [

England lost three wickets before tea but Moeen made a 93-ball 84 to help his side declare on 490-8, a lead of 321.
Joe Root (72), Dawid Malan (61), Ben Stokes (58) and Chris Woakes (61 not out) also helped England, who started the day just two ahead, take control.
West Indies' openers survived a six-over spell to reach 5-0 at the close.
That leaves the tourists needing an unlikely 317 runs for victory, despite them dominating the first three days at Headingley.
England, who lead the three-match series 1-0, trailed by 169 after the first innings but have moved into a position from which they need 10 wickets on the final day to win.
It would be only the 20th time in Test history a team has won having conceded a first-innings lead of 150 or more.

With Stokes and Malan at the crease, England were cruising in the afternoon session, but three quick wickets for spinner Roston Chase put the match back in balance.
Stokes was caught at long-off from the first ball after a drinks break, Malan was bowled two overs later, and Jonny Bairstow followed soon after as he was bowled playing a reverse sweep.
That brought Moeen and Woakes together, and they survived until tea, when England were seven wickets down with a lead of 188.
At that point the match could have gone either way, but it was England who took control as they added 133 in just 28 overs.
Moeen was his typical attacking self, hitting a series of flowing boundaries through the off side in a 117-run partnership.
Woakes contributed just 31 to that stand but was the perfect foil for Moeen, and took the upper hand alongside Stuart Broad when Moeen was caught in the deep.
Shortly after Woakes became the sixth player to score a half-century in the innings, Root boldly declared, his side having reached their highest ever score without a player hitting a century.
Having missed chances earlier in the day, West Indies were run ragged, but could at least take solace from surviving overs from James Anderson, Broad and Moeen before the close.
Malan started the day alongside Root, with questions still to be answered over his place in the side in the build-up to this winter's Ashes.
He was by no means fluent in his five-hour innings, hitting just seven fours in 186 balls, but battled and scrapped his way to a second Test half-century.
It was his slowest first-class fifty but allowed Root, Stokes and Moeen to express themselves as they hit 15, 10 and 14 boundaries respectively.
"Malan tired out the bowlers," said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott.
"West Indies bowled at him for so long that later in the day they bowled off line and then the middle order kill you, they just give it a whack.
"He was gritty, determined and sewed up one end so West Indies couldn't get early wickets."
England have long been looking for a batsman to score 'ugly runs', and here Malan showed his ability to do that.
But his knock was not chanceless. Having escaped on day three when feathering an edge behind only for it not to be given, he was dropped at slip on 32.
He shared a 118-run stand with Root, who continued his remarkable consistency with his 32nd Test half-century but again fell short of 100 when he cut to gully off Shannon Gabriel.
England all-rounder Moeen Ali to TMS: "It was a nice time to go out and bat. They were tired and we counter-attacked a little bit and tried not to let them settle. There was a bit of spin but it was nice and I play spin all right.
"I felt good before tea and thought to keep playing the same and when the bad balls come try and put them away. Me and Chris Woakes tried to build five-run partnerships.
"Hopefully we can win the game in two sessions."
England bowler Chris Woakes: "We were just trying to creep up to a score. Moeen was going pretty well. It was nice to watch at the other end. I try and bat like a batsman and I work hard on my batting.
"I got to 50 and there was a signal from the dressing room saying 'get on with it'. We didn't get too much of as heads up but sometimes it is good like that. The way we were playing we were picking up runs anyway." | Moeen Ali's fine counter-attacking innings laid the foundation for England to push for a final-day victory in the second Test against West Indies. | 41075120 | [

Initial plans to bridge the River Wharfe in Tadcaster resulted in a stalemate after a local landowner refused permission.
The county council said an alternative option had been found using land owned by the town and district councils.
The authority said it hoped the bridge would be in place "within weeks".
The 18th Century road bridge is expected to take up to 12-months to repair at a cost of £3m.
The government had offered the county council an additional £300,000 towards the cost of a temporary footbridge to help reunite the town whilst the repairs are carried out.
Samuel Smiths' brewery, which owned the site originally chosen, refused permission over concerns pressure might be exerted for the temporary bridge to remain after the road bridge was reopened.
The county council said a new agreement had been reached between it, the town council, Selby district council and the town's football club, Tadcaster Albion.
The bridge will be accessed from Selby District Council's car park on the east side of the river and lead on to land owned by the town council on the west side.
The access path will lead through Tadcaster Albion's car park, which will provide a disabled access route.
There is an alternative route directly onto Bridge Street for the more able bodied.
The authority said it was grateful to the football club for its' help and would be making "every effort to get the footbridge installed as quickly as possible."
The town's MP, Nigel Adams, who had raised the issue with the prime minister on Tuesday, said he was delighted a solution had been found. | A footbridge is to be constructed to reunite a North Yorkshire town divided after its main road bridge collapsed during flooding. | 35322014 | [

It is thought the body was dumped some time between 21:00 BST and midnight on Sunday, just off the A628 at Tintwistle, near Glossop, Derbyshire.
Police are liaising with Europol, as the unidentified victim could be a foreign national.
A member of the public discovered the remains on Monday.
At a press conference, a police spokesman said a witness saw a fire close to the road on Sunday.
Live updates and more from Derbyshire.
Assistant Chief Constable Bill McWilliam told reporters he was "pretty satisfied this poor individual" was not murdered in the lay-by.
Mr McWilliam said: "We are working with other forces to ascertain whether our victim may have been reported missing in a neighbouring county but we recognise he might not have been reported missing at all.
"I recognise this must be a very shocking incident for either people who live in the area or frequent the area for recreation."
Post-mortem examinations revealed the body belonged to a white man under the age of 50, but no DNA matches have been found on the national database.
The cause of death is still unknown.
Police have urged anyone who may have information about the man's identity to contact them.
Officers would also like to hear from anyone who was in the area on Sunday night or who travels regularly along the A628 between Tintwistle and the Flounch roundabout.
A murder inquiry began on Tuesday after the man's remains were found, led by officers from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit. | The badly burned body of a man found in a lay-by near the Peak District had its head and limbs missing and was stuffed in a suitcase, police have said. | 37647291 | [

The incident happened after the vehicle left the A68 in Jedburgh at about 09:40.
Police said a "small number of passengers" on board had been left shaken and were checked over by paramedics at the scene.
Investigations are continuing to determine what caused the bus to leave the road.
It hit a car and also struck a roadside wall a number of times before travelling across a grassy area and finally coming to rest against a metal barrier overhanging the Jed Water.
The route was closed for about an hour while the vehicle was safely removed from the scene. | A metal barrier has blocked a bus from ending up in a river after a crash in the Scottish Borders. | 37642598 | [

Artist Spencer Tunick photographed 3,200 people at locations around Hull on 9 July for the Sea of Hull project.
The photos will be displayed alongside major works by Lucien Freud and Ron Mueck in the Ferens Art Gallery's SKIN exhibition from 22 April.
Sea of Hull featured people from around the world and is said to be the largest nude installation in the UK.
The models were painted blue to represent water.
New York-based Mr Tunick said he noted shades of blue from various maritime paintings at the Ferens gallery during a scouting trip in 2015 and made them into body paint.
He said: "By bringing the colours of the Ferens' canvases into the streets and on to the bodies, I was able to successfully realize my vision of recreating the lost waterways of Hull with the brilliant and vibrant colours of the water."
Ferens' art curator Kirsten Simister said the SKIN exhibition examines how the nude continues to fascinate and inspire artists.
She said it was a "very exciting, long-awaited moment" which had been planned for four years.
"The idea for SKIN was developed at the time of the bid for UK City of Culture and it's incredibly exciting to see this vision now becoming a reality," Ms Simister said.
"SKIN acts as a major centrepiece for the year and through a variety of partnerships we have secured works of the very highest quality.
Since reopening following refurbishment in January, Ms Simister said footfall at the Ferens had risen from 10,000 to 92,000 when compared to January and February 2016.
Hull City Council said visitor numbers at the city's other attractions had also increased.

Carnival had said in March that the sinking of its Costa Concordia cruises ship in January could wipe out profits this year as people shunned cruises.
However, on Tuesday the firm reported that profits were $1.33bn (£819m) in the third quarter, compared with $1.34bn in the same period last year.
Shares in the firm in New York rose more than 3%.
Thirty-two people died in the shipwreck in January, which an official report blamed the captain of the Costa Concordia for causing, as well as assigning some responsibility to Costa, which is owned by Carnival.
The Costa Concordia still lies next to the rocky outcrops off Giglio Island in Italy's Tuscan coast.
Carnival said it had managed to generate more money from its cruise passengers.
"The significant efforts of our brand management teams were successful in partially mitigating the decline in cruise ticket prices," said chairman and chief executive Micky Arison.
The company also plans to focus on emerging markets.
"For 2013, the company will capitalise on the increasing popularity of cruising in Asia with the deployment of a second Costa ship in China and the launch of a new Princess Cruises program for the Japanese market," it said.
Costa Cruises is a subsidiary of Carnival and runs some of the company's total fleet of 100 ships. Other brands include Carnival, P&O, Cunard, Holland America, Princess and Seabourn. | Cruise ship operator Carnival has reported profits that beat analysts' expectations, sending shares higher. | 19719550 | [

The Saints boss had been linked with Rangers and Aberdeen in recent months.
And the Perth club's chairman, Steve Brown, has spoken of his surprise that no other club has come in for Wright.
"I think he's worried about me coming into the last two years of my contract, that he's not going to get any compensation for me and that would panic him a bit," joked Wright, 53.
"I'm happy here. It is nice that you are linked with other jobs and so-called bigger clubs because that really means people realise the job you're doing here.
"That's the most important thing for me. I'm looking forward to this season, playing in Europe and doing well for St Johnstone."
As it turned out, Pedro Caixinha took over from Mark Warburton at Ibrox and Derek McInnes has chosen to remain at Pittodrie, despite having discussions about the Sunderland vacancy, leaving Wright in charge at McDiarmid Park.
In his four years at St Johnstone, and on a modest budget, he has guided them to the Scottish Cup, in 2014, and secured top-six finishes every season in the Premiership.
Asked if he was surprised that his record had not led to approaches from other clubs, Wright told BBC Scotland: "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, but it's not something that keeps me awake at night.
"It's not something that, if I see someone else getting a job, puts me in a bad mood. It's just the way it is and all I can do is keep doing my job here.
"I'm quite happy for the chairman to come and extend my contract at St Johnstone if he wants, but by the look of his comments he'd rather sell me and get a few quid in.
"I just have a simple way of looking at things - do the job to the best of your ability, do it well and whatever will happen will happen."
Wright has been preparing his squad at Inverclyde Sports Centre in Largs for another crack at the Europa League, their reward for finishing fourth last term.
Having lost Danny Swanson to newly promoted Hibernian and now defender Tam Scobbie to Scottish Championship club Dundee United, Wright is looking to strengthen his squad.
He's in the process of clinching a deal to replace Swanson in time for the European signing deadline but the Scobbie departure has been a bit of a shock and it comes at a time when fellow defender Brian Easton is being treated for a groin problem.
"There is a risk Brian may miss Europe and that certainly leaves us short in terms of a left-back," said the Northern Irishman.
"I wanted Thomas {Scobbie} re-signed. I know he was more than happy to stay, but something's happened that it's fallen through so I've got to deal with that.
"It's part of management, you don't always get what you want and now we've got to move on and do the best for the club. I'm now putting all my efforts in to get a left-back to be cover for losing Thomas."
Wright drew praise for his handling of the infamous New Douglas Park brawl between Swanson and team-mate Richard Foster as they left the pitch at half-time in the match with Hamilton.
But the manager says that incident on 1 April was one of the toughest tests of his managerial career.
"I didn't see it and still haven't seen it because there's no footage of it, which is a miracle these days," he said.
"Immediately after the game, when I'm hearing what's allegedly happened, there was one thought in my head: that the two of them can go, they're out, they're sacked.
"But then it was time for calm heads and leadership from the club and myself. The lads very quickly helped the situation by admitting they were wrong, they were remorseful.
"So come the Saturday night they definitely weren't going to be sacked, but the chairman and I felt that for the image of the club we'd deal with this as severely and as quickly as we could (with a fine and reprimand).
"We were honest with the players, in terms of how we felt they had let not only themselves down, but the club and Scottish football as a whole.
"The timing of it could have derailed our season. We actually lost the game 1-0, losing a goal in the 91st minute after doing brilliantly with nine men and that was gut-wrenching for the players."
Wright feels that by beating Hearts with a weakened squad and then Inverness in Saints' next two games, it showed the benefit of "having good people and a good squad".
On Monday, St Johnstone will find out who they will face in the first qualifying round of the Europa League. | Tommy Wright is ready for a new season in charge of St Johnstone despite his chairman fearing he would leave. | 40307705 | [

A host of stars joined him for the final show, including the singer Bruce Springsteen.
There were also video messages from US Secretary of State John Kerry and Republican Senator John McCain.
Stewart took over the show in 1999 and established himself as one of the most influential satirists in the US and the voice of liberal America.
He is being replaced by the South African comedian Trevor Noah.
The Daily Show, broadcast on Comedy Central, has often been cited as a leading news source for young people, with an average audience of one million viewers.
In his final monologue, Stewart thanked colleagues, fans and family.
"Nothing ends. It's just a continuation. It's a pause in the conversation," he said.
"So rather than saying goodbye or good night, I'm just going to say I'm gonna go get a drink," he said.
The Daily Show has also helped to launch several well-known comic performers, including Steve Carell and John Oliver, as well as Stephen Colbert who is to be David Letterman's replacement on CBS's Late Show.
The hashtag #JonVoyage was trending on Twitter as Stewart bid farewell to the Daily Show, with famous fans paying tribute.
For John McCain, it was a chance for a spot of gentle revenge. Stewart had once mocked him using a puppet resembling the Republican senator. | Comedian Jon Stewart has hosted his final broadcast of the satirical US news programme The Daily Show. | 33815974 | [

China's consumer price index (CPI) rose 1.6% in September compared with a year earlier, China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said.
That was lower than analysts' forecasts of 1.8%, and down from the rate of 2% recorded in August.
Producer prices fell for a 43rd straight month as manufacturers cut prices to win business.
The latest inflation figures added to fears of a rapid slowdown in the world's second largest economy.
Asian markets were all lower in response to the inflation figures, which came a day after data that showed imports fell for an 11th straight month in September.
China's producer price index (PPI) fell 5.9% in September from a year earlier, matching the rate of decline in August, which marked the biggest fall since the financial crisis.
Non-food consumer inflation was even lower with an annual growth rate of just 1% in September, the NBS data showed.
The easing CPI was mainly due to a high comparison base last year, Yu Qiumei, a senior NBS statistician, said.
CPI rose 0.5% month-on-month in September 2014, compared to a 0.1% growth last month.
Reflecting growing strains on Chinese companies from persistently weak demand and overcapacity, manufacturers continued to cut selling prices to win business.
Economists at Nomura said the lacklustre growth outlook led them to expect moderate fiscal stimulus from the central government and continued monetary easing.
Nomura said it expected another cut to the Chinese central banks' reserve requirement ratio (RRR) late this year and another four in 2016, each by 50 basis points, together with two more interest rate cuts of 25 basis points each next year.
China has already launched a wave of economic stimulus measures since late 2014, including cutting benchmark interest rates five times since November, But some analysts believe the moves have been less effective than when the economy was more tightly controlled, exports were strong and debt levels were much lower.
Weak producer prices are also threatening to erode the profits of Chinese firms and add to their debts, something analysts expect to continue for the remainder of the year.
The inflation figures come as trade data on Tuesday showed imports tumbled for the 11th month in a row in September, as result of weaker global commodity prices and lower demand,. Exports also fell for a third month, although by less than expected.
Other surveys showed activity in China's factory sector shrank in September on fewer new orders, sparking fears the Chinese economy may be slowing down more rapidly than expected.
China will release gross domestic product (GDP) data for the third quarter on Monday. Many economists expect the three months to September to show economic growth fell below the government's target of 7% for the first time since the financial crisis. | Consumer price inflation in China eased by more than expected in September, official figures have revealed. | 34525432 | [

Military officials said 50m naira ($317,000; £197,709) was offered for help in tracking down the group's suspected leader Abubakar Shekau.
Other alleged commanders have around 10m naira on their head.
Boko Haram has been waging an insurgency since 2009 to impose strict Sharia law across Nigeria.
The group has claimed responsibility for a number of attacks against churches and other establishments since 2009. More than 640 people have died so far this year in attacks blamed on the group.
"They are wanted in connection with terrorist activities particularly in the north-east zone of Nigeria that led to the killings, bombings and assassination of some civilians, religious leaders, traditional rulers, businessmen, politicians, civil servants and security personnel amongst others," a military statement said.
"They are also wanted for arson and destruction of properties worth millions of naira."
Abubakar Shekau was one of three Boko Haram leaders designated terrorists by the United States in June. The other two, Abubakar Adam Kambar and Khalid al-Barnawi, are thought to have ties with a branch of al-Qaeda.
A reward was offered by the Nigerian military for Khalid Barnawi on Friday but not Abubakar Kambar, AFP news agency reports.
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is a sacrilege" in the Hausa language, is based in the dominantly Muslim north of Nigeria.

But they have also had three points deducted after the game on 14 October was disrupted when a drone flew over the stadium with a political message.
The drone carried a pro-Albania flag. Crowd disturbance and a brawl between players followed at Partizan Stadium.
Both countries have confirmed they will appeal against the rulings.
Uefa's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) deemed that Albania had forfeited the match and in doing so lost 3-0. But it also decided to penalise Serbia over the crowd trouble.
It ruled Serbia must also play two home qualifying games behind closed doors and fined both FAs 100,000 euros each.
A statement from the Serbian FA confirmed it will submit an appeal within five days of receiving Uefa's full written decisions.
The Albanian FA earlier released a similar response.
Bardhyl Minxhozi, a senior member of the Albanian Football Federation's executive committee, told BBC Sport it was "a very sad day for European football".
Media playback is not supported on this device
He added: "It's a very disappointing decision, not only for Albanian fans from a football point of view, but it's a decision which is unacceptable from a legal and a technical point of view.
"We have a very dangerous precedent from this decision."
Serbia will have to play their Group I Euro 2016 qualifiers against Denmark and Armenia in an empty stadium.
The match between the Balkan sides earlier this month, at which no away fans were permitted, was interrupted late in the first half when a flag depicting a notional 'Greater Albania', was flown over the terraces and pitch by what appeared to be a remote-controlled drone.
Serbia's Stefan Mitrovic grabbed the flag, prompting an angry reaction from Albanian players.
A brawl between the players followed after several Albanian players snatched the flag from Mitrovic and they then had to run into the tunnel for cover as some home fans invaded the pitch and attacked them.
Premier League referee Martin Atkinson suspended play in the 41st minute with the score at 0-0 and Uefa confirmed the match had been abandoned after a delay of about 30 minutes.
Albanian fans had been banned from entering the stadium by Uefa on safety grounds and the match was set against a backdrop of tight security.
There are long-standing tensions between the nations over Kosovo, the province with which both share a disputed border, and which is recognised as independent by the United States and major European Union countries.
It is not recognised as independent by Serbia - a bone of contention with Albania.
The two sides are due to meet in their return fixture next October. | Serbia have been awarded a 3-0 walkover against Albania after their Euro 2016 qualifier in Belgrade was abandoned, Uefa has confirmed. | 29753007 | [

The medal - won as a teenager at his first World Cup - was estimated to be worth between £70,000 and £140,000.
The three-time World Cup winner is selling all three of his winner's medals at auction, along with more than 2,000 items of personal memorabilia.
His winning medal from the 1962 World Cup in Chile was sold for £140,800.
The memorabilia, which includes shirts and trophies, is being sold over three days and his winner's medal from the 1970 World Cup, where he was part of the Brazilian team regarded as one of the greatest in history, has yet to go under the hammer.
A one-off Jules Rimet trophy made for the former striker after Brazil's triumph in Mexico in 1970 is the most expensive item being auctioned, with an estimated price tag of £281,000 to £420,000.
On the first day of auction, the boots worn by Pele in the classic football film Escape to Victory sold for £8,025.
Other items sold include L'Equipe athlete of the century trophy with book (£20,480), his 2007 Fifa presidential award (£30,720) and a 1,000th goal tribute crown with book (£162,500).
Pele is the only player to have won the World Cup three times and is regarded by many as being the greatest footballer in history, scoring 1,281 goals in 1,363 matches and appearing 91 times for Brazil. | Pele's 1958 World Cup winner's medal has been sold at auction in London for £200,000 - at least £60,000 more than its estimated price tag. | 36482970 | [

In May, Mr Joyce vowed to press charges against a man who struck him with a pie over his support for same-sex marriage, which is not legal in Australia.
Mr Joyce has also faced criticism from some politicians who say he should not take a political stance on behalf of the airline.
However, he said his company "would be active out there" in campaigning.
"I believe we have to get behind it and make sure that we have a 'yes' vote and certainly I will be out there strongly campaigning for a 'yes' vote," he said.
"We believe the social issues are very important of all of your [company] stakeholders and are very important for this country."
Australians will be asked their views on same-sex marriage through a voluntary, non-binding ballot to begin next month.
If it shows support for changing Australia's Marriage Act, it is expected that a vote in parliament will follow. However, MPs would not be bound to vote in line with the public.
Mr Joyce was one of 20 company chief executives who signed a petition in March calling on Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to legalise same-sex marriage.
It led to criticism by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, who said it was "unacceptable that people would use companies and the money of publicly-listed companies to throw their weight around".
"If Alan Joyce and any other CEO wants to campaign on this or any other issue in their own time and on their own dime, good luck to them," Mr Dutton said at the time.
Two months later, Mr Joyce was giving a speech in Perth when an intruder shoved him in the face with a meringue pie.
"From my reading, it would appear that Alan Joyce is very much part of a network trying to subvert the federal parliamentary process around the issue of marriage equality," the intruder, Tony Overheu, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Mr Joyce later said he would press charges against Mr Overheu.

The Stornoway-registered Louisa sank on 9 April as it lay at anchor in calm seas off Mingulay in the Western Isles.
An investigation by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) found the lifejackets the men were wearing did not function as they should have done.
The probe also highlighted a delay in the rescue effort.
The bodies of Chris Morrison, 27, from Harris, and Martin Johnstone, 29, from Halkirk, Caithness, were recovered following the sinking.
The body of skipper Paul Alliston, 42, from Lewis, was lost during a lifeboat crew's attempts to recover him and remains missing.
Only Lachlann Armstrong, 27, from Stornoway, Lewis, survived after swimming ashore.
The MAIB said the men who died in the incident were wearing approved lifejackets, but the survival aids did not work as would have been expected.
An urgent review of lifejacket testing protocols by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has been recommended by the MAIB in a newly-published report of its investigation.
Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents Steve Clinch said: "A lifejacket should turn an unconscious person onto their back and keep their airway clear of the water.
"It is therefore of concern that the skipper and two crew were tragically found unresponsive and face down in their lifejackets when the rescue services arrived on scene.
"The results of lifejacket trials undertaken by the MAIB and of lifejacket testing commissioned by the MCA following the accident strengthen that concern.
"Therefore, as a matter of urgency, I am recommending the MCA to conduct further research to confirm or otherwise the suitability of historical and extant lifejacket water performance test protocols."
The Louisa had been anchored close to shore in Mingulay Bay.
The skipper and crew, who had been working long hours before anchoring late the previous evening, were asleep onboard, said the MAIB.
Investigators believe the boat's deck wash hose flooded the hold and the crew were woken by the Louisa "sinking rapidly".
The four men escaped to the aft deck, activated the boat's emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) and put on lifejackets.
However, they were unable to inflate the liferaft as they abandoned the vessel.
Louisa's EPIRB was detected and the coastguard was alerted.
But the MAIB said "confusion over terminology resulted in delays before search and rescue units were sent to the scene".
The investigation of the incident involved raising the wreck of the crab boat and taking it to Clydebank.
A spokeswoman for the MCA said: "This is a deeply tragic incident and our thoughts remain with the families of these fishermen, who've suffered a terrible loss.
"Saving lives at sea is our highest priority, and we strive to ensure that our search and rescue techniques are continually reviewed in order to deliver an effective and efficient emergency response."
She added: "The MCA is continuing to collaborate with the MAIB on the contents of this report in order to address the recommendations put forward."
A spokesman for Louisa fishing vessel owners, Duncan and Murdo Kennedy, said: "The tragic events of 9 April 2016 resulted in the loss of three fine fisherman and our thoughts remain with the families of Martin Johnstone, Chris Morrison, Paul Alliston and surviving crew member, Lachlan Armstrong.
"We have fully cooperated with the MAIB inquiry and are committed to implementing the report's recommendations. We hope the wider issues raised in the report will lead to improved safety for all those working at sea and prevent any similar incident from happening." | An urgent review of how lifejackets are tested has been recommended following the deaths of the skipper and two crew of a crab boat that sank last year. | 40730264 | [

Nineteen sailors were killed and a further 30 injured when the Type 42 destroyer took a direct hit during the Falklands War on 25 May 1982.
As the ship sank in just 20 minutes, it took with it many documents and equipment which were of "importance to the security of the United Kingdom", said Clive Gale.
He was part of a 39-strong Royal Navy team which carried out a number of dives on sunken ships, including HMS Coventry, over a four-month period beginning in the autumn of 1982.
Recalling the HMS Coventry search, he said: "We were very conscious that we were diving on a war grave and the casualties that went down with the ship.
"We actually visited their grave and that stays with you."
Carrying out Operation Blackleg was a physically demanding and dangerous mission for those involved, with some dives lasting for up to eight hours.
"We were 8,000 miles from any kind of rescue facility," Mr Gale added.
"There was still hostilities with Argentina and to cap it all there was a 500lb (227kg) unexploded bomb in the wreck somewhere.
"The whole mission was fraught with near misses.
"Cutting into a steel structure underwater traps oxygen and if you hit it with a spark it explodes quite violently.
"One chap lost the front plate out of his helmet and nearly drowned.
"I was knocked unconscious and had to be pulled back into the bell by a colleague of mine."
Mr Gale admits the mission, 300ft (91m) under the ocean's surface, was to "recover or destroy certain items".
But some things brought back from HMS Coventry, like the cross of nails, were not on the official list.
"I took off the big brass plaque while somebody else recovered the bell and the cross of nails was found," he continued.
"All these things that were really personal to the ship's company were then presented to Coventry Cathedral after we'd finished the job." | A naval diver who searched the wreck of HMS Coventry after it was sunk during the Falklands has described how he was told to ensure secret information from the ship did not get into the wrong hands. | 18195170 | [

All 26 are accused of evading tests but say there was an administrative error.
The list includes Fabrizio Donato, triple jump bronze medallist at London 2012, and Andrew Howe, who took silver in the long jump at the 2007 World Championships.
They will face trials at the Italian Olympic Committee's anti-doping court, with rulings expected next year.
Five of the 26 athletes have already qualified for next year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. | Italy's Olympic chiefs want 26 of the country's athletes banned for two years over alleged doping offences. | 34990174 | [

More than 100 people have been arrested as officers were attacked, police vehicles damaged and shops looted.
Disorder spread to Enfield, Walthamstow and Waltham Forest in north London and to Brixton in the south of the city.
Home Secretary Teresa May has cut short her holiday to return to the UK following the disorder.
Some 35 officers have been injured over the two nights of rioting.
Three officers were hurt when a vehicle hit them as they tried to make an arrest in Waltham Forest, east London.
Clashes broke out in Enfield, north London, on Sunday evening where shop windows were smashed and a police car damaged.
There have been reports of a gang of up to 200 youths looting shops and charging police in Coldharbour Lane and the High Street in Brixton, south London.
Metropolitan Police Commander Adrian Hanstock said: "This is not groups of people acting on behalf of communities or with any consent.
"This is individuals who are actually attacking communities, businesses, properties and houses and actually causing a huge amount of upset and criminality."
The Met said it had dealt with several incidents of "copycat criminal activity" across the city.
These included:
Kit Malthouse, Deputy Mayor of London and Chair of the Metropolitan Police Authority, described the scenes of the last two nights as "disgusting and shocking" and said the police did a good job.
He added: "Obviously there are people in this city, sadly, who are intent on violence, who are looking for the opportunity to steal and set fire to buildings and create a sense of mayhem, whether they're anarchists or part of organised gangs or just feral youth frankly, who fancy a new pair of trainers."
Talking about the impact on the capital's image, one year ahead of the Olympic Games, he said: "It's pretty rotten for London, it does not look good.
"What we need to do over the next few months is to underline to people the fundamental truth about London which is that it is one of the safest, great big cities on earth.
"We have a low murder rate and this kind of violence is very rare."
The Home Secretary, Theresa May said: "Last night, police officers again put themselves in harm's way to protect Londoners and their property.
"Londoners have made clear that there are no excuses for violence, and I call on all members of local communities to work constructively with the police to help them bring these criminals to justice."
BBC London's Paraic O'Brien said he had witnessed widespread looting in Brixton.
He said: "They smashed a William Hill, they set bins on fire.
"And now what we're seeing as the night progresses is that replicated, sort of flashpoints all along Brixton High Street.
By Andy MooreBBC News
I saw the rioting in Tottenham on Saturday and I saw the rioting last night and it was certainly different in character.
What might have been started in Tottenham by youngsters aggrieved about what they saw as police persecution has become something very different in nature.
Last night there was a sense that the looting, and violence and disorder across London was being co-ordinated on social media.
There were people in their cars, youngsters on bicycles, moving very rapidly, leaving a trail of destruction behind them. As soon as you moved to one location they would move on to the next one.
The police were doing their best to catch up with them. You had police vehicles going backwards and forwards, blue lights flashing, riot police coming out of their vehicles.
Ten minutes later they'd get back in again and go off to the next location - essentially trying to fight the fires, metaphorically, that were spreading all over London.
"I'm standing outside Halfords on the other side of the road and they've just smashed through the doors of Halfords. They're taking bikes out the front entrance.
"I have to say, what really struck me was the small number of police officers that there actually seem to be on Brixton High Street responding to this."
Press Association photographer Lewis Whyld saw looters battle police at a Currys store in Brixton.
He said: "A couple of hundred youths were rioting and looting. Riot police went in to get them out and there was a big fight in the street.
"Youths were throwing rocks and bottles and there was a bin on fire. They used a fire extinguisher to push the police back so they could get back into Currys and continue taking things out."
Met Police Commander Christine Jones said: "Officers are shocked at the outrageous level of violence directed against them.
"At least nine officers were injured overnight in addition to the 26 injured on Saturday night."
London Fire Brigade said it had been called to a number of fires in Enfield, Brixton and Walthamstow, including a fire at a shop on Brixton Road, which is now under control.
The disorder follows rioting in Tottenham which broke out on Saturday night and continued into Sunday morning.
A peaceful protest over the fatal shooting by police on Thursday of 29-year-old Mark Duggan descended into violence later in the evening.
The unrest spread into nearby Wood Green and Tottenham Hale.
Shops were attacked and looted, 26 police officers and three others were injured and buildings and vehicles were set alight.
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club's ticket office was also damaged during the violence.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Kavanagh told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme that there were too few officers in Tottenham on Saturday night, but blamed Twitter for fuelling looting and violence, saying: "Social media and other methods have been used to organise these levels of greed and criminality."
Mr Kavanagh pledged that more officers would be on London's streets on Monday night to prevent or tackle further outbreaks.
Parts of Tottenham are still cordoned off, as officers and forensic specialists continue to examine the riot scene.
A total of 61 arrests have been made in connection with the first night of rioting. The majority were for burglary, and other offences including violent disorder, robbery, theft and handling stolen goods.
Sixteen people have been charged for offences including burglary, violent disorder and possession of a pointed or bladed weapon following the Tottenham riots.
As well as Mr Duggan, a police officer was also shot in Thursday's incident, which happened in what was called a "pre-planned" event, under Operation Trident, which investigates gun crime in London's African and Caribbean communities.
Police had stopped a minicab which Mr Duggan had been travelling in.
The violence has also affected public transport and the roads. This includes: | Police have condemned a wave of "copycat criminal activity" across London in a second night of looting and disorder following riots in Tottenham. | 14439970 | [

The home side finished on 151-7 in reply to Glamorgan's 176-5, despite Michael Klinger's 52 off 34 balls.
Miller struck his 50 off 33 including three sixes, as the Welsh County moved to the top of the south group table.
Rudolph's 51 off 46 was a more measured effort, while Sri Lankan seamer Thisara Perera bowled tightly for his 2-25.
Glamorgan moved ahead of Surrey on net run-rate at the top as Miller showed his international class despite a patchy wicket which benefitted the medium-pacers.
Klinger threatened for a while to get Gloucestershire in the chase in front of a packed home crowd, but Colin Ingram took 1-18 in a mean four overs while Graham Wagg claimed his 100th T20 wicket and the home side fell short.
Man of the match David Miller told BBC Wales Sport:
"I'm very happy to be one (win) from one, and looking forward to the next four games. I was a bit nervous for a couple of balls, it took me six or seven to get going but it's nice batting with Jacques Rudolph who has a lot of experience.
"It's always good to hit the pavilion, the one I got out I was trying to hit over the top of the apartments, but it's nice to hit a few sixes and get the run-rate up.
"Every single game I get nervous, but it's what you do with the nerves and where you take it - it's a short stint to make an impression but I'm just trying to play my game and enjoy it, which has been really easy with this changing-room." | Fifties for Glamorgan debutant David Miller and captain Jacques Rudolph proved key as they beat Gloucestershire by 25 runs in Bristol. | 40709964 | [

Special Report: The Technology of Business
The workplaces that build Africa's future
Is teleworking driving us crazy?
The tech getting disabled people into work
Recruitment robots need impressing
Is technology killing the lure of company heritage?
If you're not at work catching up when you think the boss isn't looking, you're quite likely to be on the sofa in front of the television.
If so then you're not alone.
According to research by Nielsen 88% of US tablet owners use them while watching TV at least once a month, with 45% using them several times a day. In the UK, that figure is 80%, with 24% using it daily.
These countries may be at the top of the list - but the figures point to a growing trend.
Rather than resign themselves to audiences watching with half an eye, while posting pictures of kittens on Facebook, broadcasters are looking for ways to harness this trend to keep viewers engaged.
No verifiable eyeballs on your content leads to dwindling advertising income.
At IBC, the annual gathering of the broadcast industry in Amsterdam, the rise of the second screen, or companion device (that's a tablet or smartphone to you and me) was the topic of the moment.
If the idea of a coming zombie apocalypse keeps you up at night, you may have found yourself watching The Walking Dead for tips.
So many of us tuned in that its broadcaster, FX UK, decided to create a companion app for series two that would appeal to viewers, but that would keep those precious eyeballs glued to the screen during the important bits.
"It was fascinating to tie [the app] with the idea of gamification with that particular programme, with that fanbase, which seemed to make sense," says Steve Plunkett, chief technology officer at broadcast technology and service provider Red Bee.
"But we had no idea how it was going to play out with the public. So we were delighted to see the take-up rates which were great."
As well as being popular with audiences, it has also won an IBC innovation award.
A bit like Cluedo for the undead, the app lets you predict how many zombies will bite the dust during each episode, who will despatch them, and the most common weapon of choice.
As each member of the undead hordes meets their maker, the app notes the kill, who was responsible and how they did it. At the end of the episode viewers discover how close they got, and can then share the results on Facebook and Twitter.
"What's interesting is that we can now accurately tie together the two screens," says Mr Plunkett.
"We knew exactly what episode you were watching, you just switched on and it figured everything out, and knew exactly where you were in the programme."
It uses technology known as audio watermarking, which lets the app work whether you watch live, time-shifted or recorded on your DVR.
Tiny chunks of data that are inaudible to humans are embedded in the soundtrack of the show. The device running the app then "listens" as the episode starts, works out which one you are watching and synchronises with it.
For content where it's not possible or practical to embed data, audio fingerprinting can be used, where specific audio triggers the synchronisation of an app. For devices that don't have microphones, signals sent via the internet can also be used.
Another show with a cult following that has its own companion app is US biker gang saga Sons of Anarchy.
The app has evolved over two seasons, according to Magic Ruby's Robert Gekchyan.
"[In our proof of concept app] you see a character you like, you want his hat, you want his jacket. They had all the items already on the website, but by presenting it on this app they really saw a huge uptake of sales.
"This year we have a full application that has trivia that gets people really engaged in the show, exclusive on-set photos and some of the writers on the show have contributed to the content in the application."
The app also synchronises with each episode, letting viewers track the conversation about episodes on social media - regardless of when they're watching.
"We built something called the social timeline so you can actually follow the show through tweets that are happening as things happen specifically in the show.
"This really works well in times-shifted environments - different time zones, catch-up TV situations where you still want to follow along the conversation."
The next step for Magic Ruby is looking at new ways of making money from these apps.
"It would probably be difficult to do the traditional or banner advertising in this space," he says.
"So it's how do we get advertisers to do interactive advertising, get involved in the show, it's not just your watching the show and this car commercial that has zero context comes up."
John Stoneman of mobile advertising specialists InMobi agrees.
"For it to be effective, it needs to be complementary to the user's experience and not obtrusive... and that's one of the great things about the second screen. The consumer has the option to engage if they want to, but it's not forcing them to sit through something they don't want."
Mr Stoneman believes broadcasters need to come to terms with second screen devices, and how they're being used.
The chief executive of online video platform Brightcove, Jeremy Allaire, believes there's a more radical shift taking place.
The company recently launched their app creation platform AppCloud, aimed at letting broadcasters and other content creators build companion apps.
"In my mind I think that the current effort is sort of a band-aid or a hack, and the real opportunity is when the full content experience and the applications that interact with that content are all delivered over the internet to tablets or smart TVs." he says.
The company is also creating full screen TV apps aimed at content far beyond regular programming.
"Dual screen TV apps are about really using the TV set as the second screen.
"The tablet becomes the primary screen you interact with, you make choices on, and discover on and the large display is where you have rich media and consume content and information."
Perhaps unsurprisingly he has strong views on the future of television.
"Linear television is not going to be saved by companion second-screen applications, that's for sure. I think you know more likely 90% of the content that's on linear television should really just be content that's published on demand."
Not everyone agrees. Magic Ruby's Robert Gekchyan sees things differently.
"I think people still love TV, they love the content, and now they can have the interactivity and the interactivity with their friends.
"You're by yourself on the couch and you're watching with multiple people. It's perfect for live events, for sports, for reality shows, water-cooler-type TV shows."
No knows what lies ahead - but maybe there's room for something in between.
One of the most popular demonstrations at IBC is broadcast software experts NDS' video wall.
In their conception of the future the walls of our home become a giant television screen, that integrates with the wallpaper.
Content selection is done from a tablet device, and is "thrown" to the wall you want to view it on.
This can be anything from movies, television, radio, social media and news to the family calendar, the view from your nannycam, or family photos and videos.
It can be any size you want, with as much or as little content on display. Audio is directional, and advertising and other broadcast furniture can be arranged around the picture, leaving the image clean.
At the moment screen technology means the bevels are clearly visible between panels.
But it doesn't take much imagination to picture technology like Sony's new 4k ultra-high definition television, also on show at the exhibition, or NHK's 8k super hi vision, or even Dolby's glasses-free 3D making the experience even more immersive.
Whatever the future holds, one thing is clear. As a species we are likely to become ever more addicted to vast amounts of content - wherever it comes from.

The 65-year-old was found dead in the garden of his gated home in South Weald in June 2015.
Although Essex Police originally thought he died of natural causes, it emerged he had been shot six times.
Police said they had questioned a man originally from Tyneside but currently living in southern Spain.
The force says the man was not arrested but volunteered to be interviewed at a police station in the UK. The force did not specify which police station he was interviewed at.
The interview took place on Saturday morning.
An inquest into Palmer's death concluded he was unlawfully killed. Police have said his shooting had "all the hallmarks of a professional hit".
Palmer, once described as Britain's richest criminal and thought to have been worth £300m, got his nickname after he was arrested on suspicion of melting down gold from the Brink's-Mat robbery, although he was never convicted.
The robbery in 1983 took place at Heathrow Airport when £25m worth of gold was stolen. At the time it was the biggest robbery to have ever taken place in the UK.
The former scrap metal dealer, from Olton, near Birmingham, who was one of seven children, was said to have melted the metal down in the back garden of his mansion at Lansdown near Bath.
However, he denied knowing it was stolen and was acquitted in 1987, blowing kisses to the jury from the dock when the verdict was delivered.
Worth about £500m in today's prices, most of the gold has never been recovered and the case remains open.
In 1997 Palmer was arrested in Tenerife, and returned to the UK to face charges related to a large-scale timeshare fraud.
In May 2001 he was sentenced to eight years in prison and ordered to pay a record confiscation order of £33m. | A 50-year-old man has been questioned on suspicion of the murder of notorious criminal John "Goldfinger" Palmer, detectives have said. | 38866984 | [

In his election campaign for a second term in office, he promised a moderate modern and outward looking Iran, in sharp contrast to the vision his main rival Ebrahim Raisi, a hardline senior cleric and judge, had put forward.
He warned Iranians that a single wrong decision by the future president could engulf the country in war. This was a reference to Mr Raisi, who is not overly impressed by the nuclear deal President Rouhani reached with world powers - a deal which removed a serious threat of war hanging over the country.
President Rouhani is keen to see the nuclear deal survive - even though US President Donald Trump and opponents of the deal in the United States Congress are looking for ways to put further pressure on Iran, or even scrap the deal.
Mr Rouhani also promised to revive the sluggish economy, to extend individual and political freedoms, to steer the country away from the extremist ideas of the hardliners, to ensure equality for men and women, to extend access to internet and generally work for moderations and an outward-looking Iran.
Time and again, he praised the reform movement in Iran and its leaders - something that is likely to bring him into constant clashes with the hardliners in his second term. He was re-elected in May 2017 with an emphatic margin of victory.
Hassan Rouhani has been a key player in Iran's political life since the revolution in 1979.
He was an influential figure in Iran's defence establishment during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War and subsequently held several important political posts.
From 1989 to 2005, Mr Rouhani was secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), the top decision-making body in Iran, appointed by and answerable to the Supreme Leader.
He served as deputy speaker of parliament between 1996 and 2000 (while simultaneously completing a thesis on Sharia - Islamic law - as a post-graduate student at Glasgow Caledonian University) and in 1997 became a member of the Expediency Council, the highest arbitration body on issues of legislation.
Mr Rouhani was Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, from 2003 to 2005, earning the moniker "the diplomat sheikh", when he agreed to suspend uranium enrichment.
He resigned from the SNSC and from his role leading the nuclear talks just weeks after the election of the combative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, amid sharp differences with the new president.
When Mr Rouhani stood as a presidential candidate in 2013, he knew he was up against an establishment stacked with hardliners who were highly suspicious of him.
His campaign slogan "moderation and prudence" resonated with many Iranians who had seen their living standards, and their country's reputation, plummet under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Although he was seen as part of the establishment, Mr Rouhani promised to relieve sanctions, improve civil rights and restore "the dignity of the nation" - and drew large crowds on the campaign trail.
Many believe he was not the first choice of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But seeing that he might offer a way to end the nuclear confrontation with big world powers without destabilising the whole system, Mr Khamenei backed Mr Rouhani.
Within weeks of taking office in 2013, Mr Rouhani spoke on the phone to US President Barack Obama - the first direct contact at the highest level between Iran and the US since the 1979 revolution.
The conversation paved the way for historic open and direct talks between Iran and the US, as well as with other world powers.
After assuming office himself in 2013, Mr Rouhani got the Supreme Leader to allow the foreign ministry, rather than the SNSC, to take charge of nuclear negotiations with the West, and appointed his Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, to lead the talks.
The sight of Mr Zarif and US Secretary of State John Kerry taking a stroll around Lake Geneva just outside the venue of nuclear talks, chatting and joking together, would once have seemed extraordinary.
But as the negotiations progressed, it became almost commonplace.
From the outset Mr Rouhani had cautioned that there would be "no overnight solutions" to Iran's many problems.
The nuclear deal ensured that many sanctions against Iran were lifted, but the benefits of this have been slow in coming for many Iranians. Ordinary Iranians say they have not felt it in their day-to-day lives. The economy remains sluggish, and desperately needed foreign investment has been far slower than had been expected.
Mr Rouhani had pledged to help free reformist opposition leaders, held without trial since 2011, but the hardliners have stood firm and they remain under house arrest.
He also promised to usher in an era of more freedoms in a country where human rights abuses are rife. However, few believe there has been much improvement here, and in some areas the situation may have worsened.
There are still many journalists and opposition activists in jail, and the number of executions carried out in Iran has soared.
Censorship in the media has not eased under Mr Rouhani, although in one of his key speeches as president he told state media chiefs that Islam could tolerate a lot more than state TV allows its viewers.
Iran's internet also remains tightly controlled, forcing many to use proxy servers to circumvent the restrictions in a country whose internet speeds rank among the lowest in the world. | For a president who began his first term in the centre of the Islamic political spectrum, Hassan Fereydoun Rouhani, 68, has now moved firmly to the left, placing himself with the reformists. | 22886729 | [

Warner, 26, was also fined £7,000 (AU $11,500) after the incident, which took place in Birmingham on Sunday morning.
"A kid from the back blocks with a strong personality, Warner is outgoing, likes talking to people and always has an opinion. He is popular with his team-mates and respected in the dressing room. He has that lively and nocturnal side to his personality. But he is 26 now, and off the field he needs to change."
He will now miss the remainder of his country's Champions Trophy campaign.
Warner will also be absent for tour matches against Somerset and Worcestershire, but can play in the first Ashes Test on 10 July.
England and Australia players were in the Walkabout pub in the early hours of Sunday when opening batsman Warner is alleged to have struck England batsman Root.
BBC Radio 5 live's Pat Murphy said: "I believe it happened around 02:00 (BST) at the bar in the centre of Birmingham.
"There was a private VIP area and some of the Australia players were in there. The three England players, Joe Root, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes, were some way away and were larking around - wearing silly wigs and that.
"I understand Warner took umbrage and went over to Root and glanced him on the chin.
"Broad put his arm around Root as soon as it happened and said 'time to go back to the hotel' and I am also told that they were not worse for wear."
Warner, who has played in 19 Test matches for his country, was dropped for Australia's Champions Trophy game against New Zealand on Wednesday as a punishment.
He could have been sent home from the tour after pleading guilty to a charge of "unbecoming behaviour".
Media playback is not supported on this device
His suspension means he will not be allowed to play until the five-Test Ashes series begins at Trent Bridge.
But Warner is in a poor run of form, with seven single-figure scores in his last nine innings while playing for Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League and one-day internationals for Australia.
Cricket Australia's behaviour commissioner, The Hon Justice Gordon Lewis, heard the disciplinary case in Melbourne via a teleconference.
In a statement, the England and Wales Cricket Board cleared their players of any blame.
"Following a full investigation, the England team management has concluded that the England player was in no way responsible for, nor retaliated to, the attack," said the ECB statement.
England bowler Broad told Sky Sports: "We were within our rights to be out, and we did nothing wrong. We are obviously on show as England cricketers and we need to be aware of that."

The 30-year-old is to remain there following the completion of a psychiatric report.
Belfast Magistrates' Court was told she would not be able to leave without the hospital's permission.
The woman cannot be named amid claims that identifying her would increase the risk of her taking her own life.
A press challenge to the temporary reporting restrictions is due to be heard next month.
The woman was arrested by detectives investigating the child's death following an incident in Belfast in March.
She was charged with murder and then held under the Mental Health Act.
Her barrister revealed on Wednesday that a medical report had now been prepared.
Based on its contents he sought a termination of the current arrangements for keeping his client at the facility.
"The application is that she be remanded on bail, subject to the condition that she continues to reside (there)," he said.
A doctor who assessed the accused confirmed that the health trust consented to the proposal, provided the accused was there as a detained person.
The judge was informed that under those arrangements the woman would not be able to leave.
Granting the application, she listed the criminal proceedings for a further update in eight weeks time. | A woman accused of murdering her baby son has been remanded on bail at a mental health facility. | 28129488 | [

The 26-year-old, who has been at the KCOM Stadium since 2015, was out of contract at the end of this season.
In 2016, the ex-Salford Red Devils and Castleford Tigers man had the highest kick-conversion rate in Super League.
"He's a big part of the group and really seems to have found a home here," said head coach Lee Radford.
"He's tasted some success last season and I know along with the rest of the group he's desperate for some more."
Oldham-born Sneyd came through Salford's academy before spending the 2014 season on loan at Castleford. | Half-back Marc Sneyd has extended his contract at Hull FC until the end of 2019 after the club took up a two-year option on his existing deal. | 39033879 | [

The birds caused "extensive damage" by making holes in parts of the spire made of cedar at St Mary's Church in Headley near Epsom.
A grant of £78,000 was awarded from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The money will enable the cedar parts to be replaced with oak, which will be treated to stop the infestation of the insects sought after by woodpeckers.
The Rector, Rev Linda Harknett, said: "We are delighted that the vital repair work can now proceed, enabling St Mary's magnificent spire to endure as an important feature of the local landscape, visible for miles around."
The church has close links with nearby Headley Court rehabilitation centre for wounded service personnel. | Work has started to repair a spire on a Surrey church after it was badly damaged by woodpeckers. | 29300149 | [

Police fired tear gas to disperse protesters angered at their handling of Sunday's event, witnesses told the BBC.
Protesters say violence by the security forces led to the stampede, but the PM denied security forces had opened fire.
The government has declared three days of national mourning.
A doctor at a local hospital which received many of the dead told AFP news agency that he had seen no evidence of bullet wounds on the bodies.
At the funeral of one of the victims in the town of Dankaka earlier, Tadese Biru, speaking to Reuters news agency, described his anger at his son's death.
"The government is playing God's role... Could this have happened if there were a so-called democratic system in place?
"I saw bodies of people being loaded into trucks to be transported to the regions, just like aid wheat and maize. These are humans!"
The town of Bishoftu, where the stampede took place, saw further unrest on Monday morning, according to an Ethiopian government official, quoted by the Associated Press news agency.
Crowds took to the streets in Ambo, Guder, Bule Hora and other towns in the Oromia region in response to the deaths, witnesses told Reuters.
In Ambo, 120km (75 miles) west of the capital, Addis Ababa, a local student said that everything was closed and gunshots could be heard, Reuters adds.
Online, some Ethiopians have replaced their Facebook profile pictures with a black square, in solidarity with the victims.
In a national address on state TV, Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn praised the security forces' "great efforts" to protect the public and blamed "evil forces" for the deaths on Sunday, vowing to bring to justice those responsible.
Thousands had gathered for the religious festival in Bishoftu, 40km (25 miles) from Addis Ababa.
The annual Irecha celebration is an important festival at which the Oromo people welcome spring.
But the crowds were chanting, "We need freedom" and "We need justice", witnesses said.
Police say they fired tear gas after anti-government protesters threw stones and bottles, but others said demonstrators were entirely peaceful.
The national flag is flying at half-mast at all government buildings while regular programmes on state radio have been replaced with music, AFP reports.
Witnesses said the stampede started after police fired tear gas.
One protester told Associated Press he almost died after falling into a deep ditch as he was trying to flee. He was pulled out but the first people who fell into it had suffocated, he said.
An Oromo activist, Jawar Mohamed, was quoted as saying that nearly 300 people had been killed and many more injured.
He said troops and a helicopter gunship had opened fire, driving people off a cliff and into a lake.
The government-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC) reported that people died falling from the cliff around the lake but it made no mention of a helicopter opening fire.
There has been a series of deadly clashes in Ethiopia in recent months.
People in Oromia and Amhara, two of Ethiopia's most populous regions, have complained about political and economic marginalisation.
The US has expressed concern about what it termed the excessive use of force against protesters.
The unrest was sparked last November by a plan to expand the capital into Oromia. This led to fears that farmers from the Oromo ethnic group, the largest in Ethiopia, would be displaced.
The plan was later dropped but protests continued, highlighting issues such as marginalisation and human rights. | Renewed protests have hit Ethiopia's Oromia region, a day after at least 55 people were killed in a stampede triggered by clashes between police and demonstrators at a religious festival. | 37539975 | [

The Garfield Weston Foundation made the award to the Mackintosh Campus Appeal, which aims to raise £32m.
The Mackintosh building was badly damaged by fire on 23 May 2014.
Contractors who are restoring the iconic Grade A-listed art nouveau building hope to have completed their work by the end of February 2019.
Philippa Charles, director of the Garfield Weston Foundation, said: "The Garfield Weston Foundation supports organisations and activities that share a commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of the communities in which they work, and that are driven by a desire to achieve excellence.
"The Glasgow School of Art sits at the heart of the Garnethill community and the people of Glasgow hold the Mackintosh building dear.
"We are delighted to be able to support the Mackintosh Campus Appeal which will enable the GSA to bring this iconic building back as part an extended campus and enable the internationally-renowned Glasgow School of Art to recover fully from the impact of the fire."
The art school announced earlier this year plans to purchase the former Stow College building in nearby West Campbell Street for its expanded Garnethill campus.
The aim is to provide additional space to accommodate a 25% increase in student numbers by 2018.
News of the £500,000 donation emerged as the Secretary of State for Scotland, David Mundell, prepared to host an event for the Mackintosh Campus Project at Dover House in London.
Mr Mundell said: "It is a real pleasure to host tonight's fundraising event for the Mackintosh Campus, and to support the rebuilding of an iconic British institution which has produced so many leading architects, designers and artists."
Professor Tom Inns, director of GSA, added: "It is an important opportunity for us to share our ambitious plans for the campus redevelopment, including bringing together all pathways of the School of Fine Art for the first time in many years in a refurbished Stow Building, and to give an update on the restoration of the Mackintosh Building."
After the Mackintosh building blaze, an investigation by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service concluded it was caused by flammable gases from a canister of expanding foam.
The report said the gases ignited as they came into contact with the hot surface of a projector. | A charity has donated £500,000 to help Glasgow School of Art (GSA) expand its Garnethill campus and repair the fire-damaged Mackintosh building. | 37839562 | [

The body was found near Heanor Memorial Park in Derbyshire.
Derbyshire Police originally thought the man was 17-year-old Han Lan, but now believe it might be a 21-year-old man named Trung Thanh Hoang.
The inquest also heard police think he may not have died at the park but that his body was dropped off there.
Police officers are working with Vietnamese authorities to confirm his identity and to find relatives either in the UK or in Vietnam.
The inquest at Derby Coroner's Court heard it was believed the man visited a nightclub in Birmingham on Christmas Eve before returning to an address in Derby after feeling unwell.
The cause of death is yet to be established but a toxicology report showed high levels of a number of drugs in his system.
Police are still treating his death as suspicious.
The inquest was adjourned until the end of March. | The identity of a man found dead in a car park on Christmas Day is still not clear, an inquest into his death has heard. | 38750768 | [

The dress, studded with 6,000 natural white pearls, was taken from the London Hotel in West Hollywood while Nyong'o was out of the room.
Nyong'o won best supporting actress in 2014 for 12 Years a Slave and was a presenter at Sunday's ceremony.
A statement from the hotel said they were "working with law enforcement".
Lieutenant William Nash, of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said officers were checking CCTV footage.
Conflicting reports suggested the dress was stolen either on Tuesday night or during the day on Wednesday.
"Ms Nyong'o was not in the room at the time of the theft," Deputy John Mitchell told Reuters.
'Homage'
The dress, designed by Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein, took 25 people 10 weeks to hand-sew the 6,000 Akoya pearls.
On the red carpet on Sunday, the actress told Associated Press she was "just wearing my diamonds and pearls. My homage to (musician) Prince".
Speaking about the dress's design, the 31-year-old said: "We talked about it being fluid and liquid. I wanted it to be an homage to the sea."
No arrests have been made.
Representatives for Calvin Klein declined to comment. | A $150,000 (£97,000) custom-made Calvin Klein dress, worn by actress Lupita Nyong'o at this year's Oscars, has been stolen in Hollywood. | 31653827 | [

The Pro12 side are to switch from Murrayfield from January to May with a view to playing the 2017-18 campaign at the George Watson's College ground.
Myreside's capacity is to be increased to around 6,000 with temporary stands.
Edinburgh used the venue in the early years of professionalism and last played a match there during the 2015 Six Nations.
"This is about building a strong future for the club at a home ground in the city that better suits our needs and improves the match day experience for fans and players alike," said Edinburgh managing director Jonny Petrie.
Work will now start on bringing the facilities at the home of Premiership club Watsonians up to pro-level standards.
Edinburgh have been playing at Murrayfield since 2004, with room for 67,500 spectators at the national stadium.
"Having a smaller venue, with the crowds we are getting just now - and being able to grow that, will be much better for us," Petrie told BBC Scotland.
"That's been a challenge at Murrayfield when sometimes the crowd gets lost.
"We'll have a home venue the players can really indentify with, they can become closer to the supporters, and it becomes a more intimidating place for teams to come as well."
Edinburgh will have the option of returning to Murrayfield for bigger matches, such as the 1872 Cup encounters with Glasgow Warriors.
Alan Solomons' side finished a disappointing ninth in the Pro12, having won just three out of 10 matches since their back-to-back successes against defending champions Warriors over the festive season.
"The season has been frustrating in many respects," admitted Petrie. "We've ended up behind where we hoped we would.
"But we've been investing in the squad and we're comfortable with where we are going."
Former Watsonians and Scotland centre Scott Hastings hailed the move as "innovative", and believes Myreside could develop into an Edinburgh stronghold in years to come.
"At Murrayfield, Edinburgh were rattling round in a huge stadium," he told BBC Scotland. "For me, the beauty of Edinburgh rugby is it's all about passion, all about creating an atmosphere.
"Ultimately, it's up to the players to respond by playing attractive, dynamic rugby, but also for the crowd to get behind the team and to be more intimate and vocal within creating an atmosphere.
"It's a stepping stone process. The pipeline dream is to have a 3G pitch in there so there's not any debate over the surface. The floodlights need a little bit of improvement; the facilities certainly need an overhaul.
"I've commentated across European and world rugby, and really Edinburgh should be punching at least a minimum of 10,000 supporters. You just have to look at our neighbours in the Pro12, someone like Ulster, who play at an 18,000-seater stadium. Ultimately, I think that will be Edinburgh's objective, but this is the stepping stone process to get them there." | Edinburgh will play their home matches at Myreside for the second half of next season. | 36255369 | [

Lilliard Gin is based at the Born in the Borders visitor centre in Jedburgh.
It comes ahead of a number proposals, which are at various stages of the planning process, to open the region's first whisky distillery since 1837.
Lead distiller Kate Macinnes said the potential to make the Scottish Borders a "region of distilling excellence" was "really exciting".
"Our gin production is on a completely different scale to the other distilleries in development," she said.
"Our still is one of the smallest production stills in the UK, and our entire operation fits into a cowshed, but if people like our gin, that's all that matters.
"We have a rich abundance of wild food on our doorstep in the Teviot valley, and Lilliard Gin aims to capture that and convey a true sense of the local flavour palette and our Borders 'terroir'."
John Henderson, of Born in the Borders, said the gin distillery was a natural companion to the Scottish Borders Brewery on the site.
"To be able to play host to the first new distillery in the Borders in nearly 200 years is incredible," he said.
"And the fact that Lilliard Gin are looking to use Borders botanicals means they are completely in tune with our own ethos of local sourcing.
"We just can't wait for them to get started, and to taste their gin."
The gin takes its name from a legendary Borders figure.
"Lilliard was the heroine of the Battle of Ancrum Moor in 1545, fought just north of the distillery," explained Ms Macinnes.
"Lilliard reputedly fought to avenge the death of her lover at the hands of the English. The battle site is also known as Lilliard's Edge.
"We wanted a name that reflected our landscape, and our strong female production team, and Lilliard seemed like a natural choice." | A new gin distillery in the Borders - built in a converted cowshed - is to start production early in the new year. | 38248599 | [

People currently get antiretroviral therapy only when their white blood cell levels drop.
But a US-led study has now been cut short as early treatment was so beneficial for patients.
The United Nations Aids agency has called for everyone to get immediate access to the drugs.
Around 35 million people are living with HIV and more than 2 million start antiretroviral therapy each year.
The discovery of drugs to attack the virus has profoundly changed the way the disease is treated.
But there has been fierce debate about when treatment should start.
World Health Organization guidelines say treatment should start when there are fewer than 500 white blood cells in every cubic millimetre of blood.
The trial on 4,685 people in 35 countries, organised by the US National Institutes of Health, compared this approach with immediate treatment.
The trial started in 2011 and was due to run until the end of 2016.
But an interim analysis of the data showed that cases of Aids, deaths and complications, such as kidney or liver disease, had already been halved by early treatment.
All patients on the trial are now being offered antiretroviral drugs.
The director of NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, said: "We now have clear-cut proof that it is of significantly greater health benefit to an HIV-infected person to start antiretroviral therapy sooner rather than later.
"Moreover, early therapy conveys a double benefit, not only improving the health of individuals but at the same time, by lowering their viral load, reducing the risk they will transmit HIV to others.
"These findings have global implications for the treatment of HIV."
Michel Sidibe, executive director of at UNAids, argued: "Every person living with HIV should have immediate access to life-saving antiretroviral therapy.
"Delaying access to HIV treatment under any pretext is denying the right to health."
Dr Steve Taylor, the lead HIV Consultant at the Birmingham Heartlands HIV Service, told the BBC the trial was hugely important.
"Not least that they will they will change the way HIV treatment is prescribed in the UK and around the world.
"Based on this study, people will be able to access treatment much earlier than currently, which is good for their own health and will reduce HIV transmission."
Deborah Gold, chief executive of the National Aids Trust, said: "These exciting results should dramatically change the approach to treatment for people living with HIV, both in the UK and internationally." | HIV drugs should be given at the moment of diagnosis, according to a major trial that could change the way millions of people are treated. | 32914219 | [

Hilda Gaddum, the mayor of Cheshire East, said her fellow Conservative Michael Jones's position had become "untenable".
The council waived its own financial rules three times when granting Core Fit Ltd contracts totalling £156,000.
Mr Jones said he was "clear" that he had "not misled council".
The fitness company runs classes in schools and is owned by Mr Jones's personal physiotherapist, Amanda Morris. Neither Ms Morris nor her company have commented on the claims.
Mr Jones has previously said he had publicly declared his interest in the firm, while a council spokesman said there had been no "unlawful expenditure or any breach of EU procurement rules".
However, Ms Gaddum said Mr Jones had "misled" councillors at a meeting in October, where he questioned why his link with the company was "being brought up", and had lobbied for it to receive help.
The BBC has seen a letter written by Mr Jones to local MP George Osborne - whose Tatton constituency is included within Cheshire East - in which work carried out by Ms Morris's company is praised.
Emails released following a BBC Freedom of Information Act request show Mr Jones helped Ms Morris write a positive assessment of how Core Fit had fulfilled one of the council's contracts.

March 2015
Ms Gaddum said she had written to Mr Jones asking for his resignation, which led to "a very, very difficult meeting with him".
In a statement, Mr Jones said he would "not be resigning but thank the mayor for recognising the many good things I have achieved".
"I am disappointed, given that I vigorously sponsored her mayoralty to my group, at the comments made. But that is Hilda for you."
The council has not responded to requests for a comment. | The leader of Cheshire East Council has rejected a call to resign over claims he "misled" councillors about contracts awarded to his physiotherapist's firm. | 34988751 | [

The 27-year-old Israeli international joins from Ashdod for an undisclosed fee, after spending last season on loan at Easter Road.
"It was not so easy, but I'm happy to get it done finally," Marciano told Hibs TV.
"My first season was hard and I didn't really know what Hibs means, but it was an amazing experience."
Marciano made 28 appearances for Hibs last season as the Edinburgh club secured their return to the top-flight by winning the Championship.
He is the club's fourth signing of the summer - after Efe Ambrose, Danny Swanson and Simon Murray - and will compete with Ross Laidlaw for the starting goalkeeper slot in the Premiership this season.
"I wanted to become a better player when I came here and I think I did that," Marciano said.
"That's why I wanted to come back to Hibs - because I have everything here to be a better player.
"And of course the fans are amazing and it's a privilege to play in front of them every week." | Hibernian have completed the permanent signing of goalkeeper Ofir Marciano on a four-year contract. | 40445278 | [

Cavendish, who has won 30 stages at the Tour de France, came sixth in the first of six events - the scratch race.
He was second fastest in the individual pursuit and seventh in the elimination race with three more events on Monday.
Becky James broke the women's sprint Olympic record in qualification and is in Monday's quarter-finals along with fellow Briton Katy Marchant.
Cavendish, 31, began his campaign with a hard-fought sixth-placed finish in the scratch race, after Denmark's Lasse Norman Hansen, the London 2012 Olympic champion and Roger Kluge took the top two spots by gaining a lap on the field.
In the individual pursuit, Cavendish recorded a time of four minutes 16.878 seconds and caught reigning world champion Colombian Fernando Gaviria Rendon in the process.
That temporarily gave the Manxman the outright lead, before Hansen set a new Olympic record of 4:14:982, beating Sir Bradley Wiggins' time set in 2008, to win his second event in a row.
However, Hansen dropped from first to sixth overall after he was the first rider to fall out of the elimination race which sees the rider in last position at the end of every second lap ejected from the race.
Cavendish was looking comfortable as other riders dropped out but he was ejected, despite not being the last rider over the line, when he overtook a rider while off the inside of the track, and was awarded seventh place.
France's Thomas Boudat, the 2014 world champion, leads on 106 points, two more than Italy's Elia Viviani who won the elimination race, with Cavendish third on 96 points.
The fourth event - the time trial - starts at 14:21 BST on Monday, before the flying lap and points race events.
Wales' James won a silver medal in the keirin on Saturday and maintained her good form on Sunday as she set a new Olympic record during the sprint qualification.
James recorded a time of 10.721 seconds to beat the 10.724 set by fellow Briton Victoria Pendleton at the 2012 Olympics in London.
That saw James become the fastest qualifier and she comfortably beat Olga Ismayilova of Azerbaijan by a margin of 0.165 secs to move into the quarter-finals, which take place from 14:00 BST on Monday.
Marchant also advanced in style as she defeated Canada's Monique Sullivan after posting the second fastest qualification time.
Australia's defending champion Anna Meares was beaten by Lithuania's Simona Krupeckaite but won a repechage race to reach the last eight.

The cases involve 165 suspects and more than 100 victims.
A police spokesperson said many cases had "multiple suspects and multiple victims" but there was also a large number involving single suspects.
Last year, 12 men were jailed for their part in the abuse of a single victim in Keighley.
Eleven were jailed at Bradford Crown Court after being convicted of raping the girl from the age of 13 and another man was sentenced for sexual activity with her.
The CSE figures, which were given to the Keighley News and confirmed to the BBC by police, compare with last year's figure of 220 cases.
There were 261 suspects under investigation at the same time in 2016.
A police spokesperson said: "West Yorkshire Police and partners have been proactive in their approach to encourage victims to come forward and reassure them that all reports will be taken seriously.
"We have developed a far greater understanding of CSE than in the past and this has led to rapid action to prioritise resources to improve the identification and prosecution of perpetrators of this abhorrent crime." | A total of 179 cases of child sexual exploitation (CSE) are being investigated in Keighley and Bradford, West Yorkshire Police has said. | 40143450 | [

The Good Fight star said: "The reason I'm doing so well is our training, our work ethic... we learn our lines.
"Why are we not trying to keep that here... and tell the whole world that we are the best rather than letting people slip through the net?"
Jumbo was speaking to a Labour Party inquiry into access and diversity.
She said she would love to find a job in Britain, but has had to take roles in the USA because there is more work on offer across the pond.
"I would like nothing more than to be working on television and in film in this country," said the 31-year-old.
Jumbo compared her experience with US drama The Good Fight and its predecessor The Good Wife with her role in ITV drama Vera.
She said she stuck out "like a sore thumb" on the set of Vera and added: "I was the only person of colour.
"You take the cast picture at the end of the season and you look back at it and you're the one sticking out brown face in a group of people and it hurts."
Jumbo said Britain was "pulling the plug" on its talent.
She told Labour MPs Gloria de Piero and Tracy Brabin: "I didn't go to America, I didn't run to America, I didn't even ask for America, I just took a plane there and suddenly everyone was telling me you're so talented, would you like 52 jobs?"
The London-born actress said: "I'm just going to go over to Amazon because they will (cast me in a lead role) and they pay for it. Then they offer you another one and another one and, because I write as well, there's opportunities to write there as well.
"And it becomes less and less attractive to come back because you're coming back to nothing.
She also said that students from diverse backgrounds were quitting drama school "because of how they are being treated".
Samuel L Jackson criticised Hollywood for casting black British actors in films about US race relations earlier this year.
British actor David Oyelowo said last year that he moved to the US because of the lack of opportunity for black actors in the UK.

Two separate US teams have found success with an approach that homes in on a stable part of the flu virus.
That should remove the problem with current flu vaccines which must be given anew each year because they focus on the mutating part of the virus.
The proof-of-concept work is published in Science journal and Nature Medicine.
Studies are now needed in humans to confirm that the method will work in man.
In the meantime, experts say people should continue to receive an annual flu jab because vaccination is still the best way to protect yourself against infection.
Conventional flu jabs target molecules on the surface of the flu virus, but these are constantly changing.
Imagine the flu virus as a ball with lots of lollipops on stems sticking out.
The lollipops change year to year, but the stems remain the same.
It is the stems that scientists are now focusing on as a target for a universal flu jab.
Many different research teams have been testing potential candidates, but it has been a technical challenge to make something that can be used in a vaccine without involving the lollipop 'head' of the hemagglutinin molecule.
This latest work seems particularly promising, according to Prof John Oxford, a flu expert at the University of London.
He called the results a "red letter day" for science.
"This is a leap forward compared to anything done recently. They have good animal data, not just in mice but in ferrets and monkeys too. And they've done it with the bird flu virus H5N1," he said.
"It's a very good stepping stone. Ultimately, the hope is to get a vaccine that will cover a pandemic virus."
Prof Sarah Gilbert, Professor of Vaccinology at University of Oxford, said: "This is an exciting development, but the new vaccines now need to be tested in clinical trials to see how well they work in humans."
"This will be the next stage of research, which will take several years. So we are still some way from having better flu vaccines for humans," she added. | Researchers say they are closer to developing a vaccine to give life-long protection against any type of flu, after promising trials in animals. | 34038808 | [

Investing Solutions received those benefit payments over the past two years by finding properties for single homeless men.
The charity, Fresh Start Housing, finds clients from London homeless charities.
Neither the charity nor the company act illegally, but a homeless group says the relationship is "a new low".
Investing Solutions said "the bulk" of their rents get passed to private landlords, while Fresh Start said they referred clients to both Investing Solutions and private landlords.
The letting agent makes money by putting several unrelated people in one house and charging housing benefit for each person, rather than the property. Therefore, the total benefit payout is higher than the rent fee passed on to the property's landlord.
Both Investing Solutions and Fresh Start are based in the same building, a storage unit in south London.
Records held at Companies House show Investing Solutions was set up in 2002 by Samir Patel, who then set up Fresh Start Housing in 2010.
The documents say the charity would help "the needs of current and ex-offenders with a wider goal to reduce poverty, sickness and distress".
Operating across seven London boroughs, Investing Solutions is one of the largest recipients of housing benefit in the UK, making the venture hugely profitable.
In one property we visited, Investing Solutions was claiming £2,114 per month in housing benefit for two tenants.
The owner of the house was getting £1,150 per month, giving the agency an annual gross profit of £11,568 on the one property.
The company focuses on providing housing to single homeless men over the age of 35, saying that is because this is the group facing "the greatest challenges in accessing accommodation".
But housing benefit legislation allows people aged 35 and over to be housed in private rather than shared accommodation. In the boroughs in which Investing Solutions operates, that means they can charge up to £260 per week for each private room.
One of the tenants, Nigel McCann, was living in a homeless shelter when he was referred to Fresh Start Housing. They passed him to Investing Solutions who housed him in several properties that he describes as wholly unsuitable - various problems included lack of heating and hot water, rats and damp.
He says he had to remove 28 bags of rubbish from one house to begin to make it habitable.
Mr McCann said he became aware of how profitable Investing Solutions was after he did some work for them in 2014.
"It's all about the money, it's not about the people," he added. "I thought inspections would be made."
Nearly half the money that Investing Solutions has received over the past two years has been paid by Wandsworth Council in south London, which has paid the lettings agency more than £2.1m.
The council said it has a "dedicated Private Sector Housing Team who provide specialist advice to both landlords and tenants to ensure the private rented sector in the borough is safe, secure and affordable".
Matt Downie, of homeless charity Crisis, said: "We've heard many examples of poor practice amongst letting agents as well as good practice. But this idea of having a charity tacked on to poor practice is a new low."
Samir Patel said in a statement that Fresh Start Housing was an independent charity with its own board of trustees.
He also said the majority of the properties used were sourced from private sector landlords "who, to make exceedingly clear, own the properties. The simple point being, the bulk of the rents gets passed to our private sector landlord clients".
He also said his company was "genuinely concerned by some of your allegations concerning the state of one of our landlord client's property".
Fresh Start Housing told us it had housed 788 homeless people since it was founded and 222 homeless people in the last 12 months, including re-housed tenants.
It also said it did not have "authority from the relevant parties" to reveal how many were housed with Investing Solutions.
A spokeswoman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said local authorities were responsible for "rigorously safe-guarding taxpayers' money, with dedicated investigations and inspection teams for private sector housing". | A letting agency has been paid more than £5.5m in housing benefit after its owner set up a charity to help the homeless, the BBC has learned. | 34743526 | [

A yellow "be aware" warning has been issued for late Thursday into Friday for the Western and Northern Isles, Highlands and Argyll.
The warning also applies to parts of Moray and Aberdeenshire.
Earlier this year the Met Office asked the public for suggestions for names for storms.
Storm Abigail could bring gusts of 60 to 70mph, potentially rising to speeds of up to 80mph in exposed areas.
The warning is in place from 18:00 on Thursday until 14:00 on Friday.
In its warning, the Met Office said: "The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to transport. In addition, large waves may give rise to local over-topping along some coasts.
"A vigorous depression is expected to pass just to the northwest of Scotland on Thursday night bringing a swathe of very strong winds on its eastern and southern flanks.
"There remains some uncertainty regarding the exact extent and timing of strongest winds and the extent of impacts and this warning will be kept under review."
Sea swell charts produced by South Devon-based surfing website Magicseaweed.com suggest swell reaching heights of 10-11.5m (36-38ft) on Friday.
Meteorologist Dr Eddy Graham, who lectures at Lews Castle College UHI in Stornoway in Lewis, said people should stay indoors if the weather deteriorates.
He said: "The Met Office have issued the first high wind warning of the season for this Thursday and Friday for most of northern and western Scotland.
"Winds are expected to reach over 70mph, possibly touching 80mph in the strongest gusts. Winds of these speeds are dangerous when outdoors - stay safely indoors when conditions deteriorate." | Storm Abigail, the first storm to be officially named by the Met Office, is set to bring winds of up to 80mph to parts of Scotland later this week. | 34777673 | [

Barbara and Colin Sellins, from Southborough in Kent, do not have any immediate family and wanted to make sure their funerals were paid for.
They have been told it is unlikely they will get back the £4,000 they spent.
A Kent Police spokeswoman said they were reviewing the Sellins' case and enquiries were ongoing.
"We are also in contact with both the liquidators and official receivers who are also investigating this company," added the spokeswoman.
Mrs Sellins said she found out Banham Funeral Services had gone out of business when she attempted to make contact to change a detail about her ceremony.
"We have worked hard all our lives. We don't owe anybody anything. We don't even have credit cards," she said.
"We have been left completely penniless. Who is going to bury us?"
The former management of Banham Funeral Services were contacted by the BBC but declined to comment. According to Companies House, the business was liquidated in May 2014.
Insolvency firm MHA MacIntyre Hudson, which was appointed to wind up the company's affairs, said "to date there have not been any assets realised and therefore no distribution to creditors".
Graeme McAusland, from the Funeral Planning Authority, said: "What should happen in a proper arrangement is, if a customer pays money over, that money is put aside in a trust or an insurance policy that is separate from the company that is selling the plan.
"That means it is ring fenced so if the company gets into trouble or goes out of business those assets are still there and therefore the funeral can still happen." | A couple who paid for their funerals in advance claim to have lost their life savings after their funeral director went out of business. | 33076871 | [

The first of six boxes was unveiled on Tottenham Court Road this week.
The service is free to use although users will be shown adverts as they wait for their phone to charge.
Many of the UK's red telephone boxes have largely fallen into disuse although some are being revived as libraries or being fitted with medical equipment.
The boxes have had a makeover for the project - painted green and fitted with a roof-mounted 86cm solar panel.
Inside there are a variety of charging stations for different models of phone and a screen which shows adverts.
The advertising screen is reinforced to deter vandals and the boxes are maintained daily and locked overnight.
The project was the brainchild of two geography students turned entrepreneurs Harold Craston and Kirsty Kenny.
Both studied at the London School of Economics (LSE) and were interested in finding new ways to use public spaces.
"I lived next to a phone box in my second year at uni and walked past it every day. I thought, 'There are 8,000 of these lying unused in London and we must be able to find a use for them,'" explained Mr Craston.
The solarbox can charge up to 100 phones a day, offering a 20% battery boost in 10 minutes.
Since launch, about six people per hour use the booth, according to the founder.
Running out of battery is a perennial problem for smartphone users as they become ever more powerful without an equivalent technology leap in battery life.
"On launch day, my phone ran out of battery and I genuinely had to use the box," said Mr Craston.
Solarbox won second place in the Mayor of London's Low Carbon Entrepreneur of the Year Award earlier this year and also won the LSE's Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year award.
Five more boxes will be rolled out by April 2015.
Funded by advertising, the founders are keen to make sure users are engaged by "short, fun and exciting ads showing exclusive content".
Firms signed up include Tinder and Uber, and 30% of advertising space is reserved for community projects. | Disused phone boxes in London are being put to a novel use - as solar-powered charging stations for mobile phones. | 29455992 | [

Rochus Misch was the last survivor from Hitler's bunker in Berlin.
The former SS man had operated the telephones in the bunker and had proudly reminisced about his wartime duties for the "boss".
He had called Hitler "a very normal man... he was no brute, he was no monster", according to the Associated Press news agency.
For five years, Misch was part of the Fuehrer's inner circle, as a bodyguard, a courier and telephone operator.
AP said that in his interview he stayed away from the central questions of guilt and responsibility, saying he knew nothing of the murder of six million Jews and that Hitler never brought up the Final Solution in his presence.
"I knew about Dachau camp and about concentration camps in general," he told the BBC in 2009.
"But I had no idea of the scale. It wasn't part of our conversations. The Nuremberg Trial dealt with crimes committed by the Germans.
"But you must remember there was never a war when crimes weren't committed, and there never will be."
Born in 1917 in the village of Alt Schalkowitz in what is today Poland, Misch was orphaned at an early age and grew up with his grandparents.
He trained as a painter before joining the SS at the age of 20. He served in Poland in 1939 before being appointed to Hitler's personal entourage.
His first task for the Fuehrer was to deliver a letter his sister in Vienna.
"In the Fuehrer's entourage, strictly speaking, we were bodyguards," Misch told the BBC.
"When Hitler was travelling, between four and six of us would accompany him in a second car. But when we were at Hitler's apartment in the Chancellery we also had other duties.
"Two of us would always work as telephone operators. With a boss like Hitler, there were always plenty of phone calls."
With the Allies advancing and the Nazis on the brink of defeat, Hitler retreated to his Berlin bunker and Misch became the final witness of the drama that took place there on 30 April 1945.
He said he was on the telephone when Hitler killed himself, so did not hear the gunshots.
But others in the bunker did hear them and Hitler's private secretary asked everyone to be silent and ordered that the door to the Fuehrer's room to be opened.
"I saw Hitler slumped with his head on the table. [Hitler's wife] Eva Braun was lying on the sofa, with her head towards him," Misch said.
"Her knees were drawn tightly up to her chest. She was wearing a dark blue dress with white frills. I will never forget it."
The next day, the six children of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels were killed in the bunker, by drugging them with morphine and administering cyanide - a plan organised by their mother Magda.
Misch said she came to the bunker to do it as no-one was allowed in and she would have been stopped by others above ground.
Hitler's doctor Ludwig Stumpfegger helped her, he said.
"All of us knew what was going on. An hour or two later, Mrs Goebbels came out crying. She sat down at a table and began playing patience."
Later that evening she and her husband died in the Chancellery gardens.
On 2 May 1945, Misch fled the bunker and was captured by Soviet forces shortly afterwards.
He spent nearly nine years in a Soviet prisoner of war camp, returning home to his family in Berlin on New Year's Eve 1953.
He set up a home decorating business, which he ran until he retired in the mid-1980s. His wife, Gerda, whom he married in 1942, died in 1997.
Together they had one daughter, Brigitta Jacob-Engelken, who told the BBC in 2009 that her maternal grandmother had told her that her mother was Jewish, something Misch refused to accept.
When she was younger Ms Jacob-Engelken learnt Hebrew and spent time on a kibbutz in Israel.
As an architect she has worked on a project to restoration of local synagogues in Germany.
"I don't blame my father for the work he did because it was harmless work," she said in 2009.
But she added she could not understand why her father, who remained loyal to Hitler to the end, was not more critical in his reflections of Nazi history.
With the death of Hitler's adjutant Otto Gunsche in 2003, Misch became the last witness to the end of the Third Reich in the bunker.
Misch's memoir, The Last Witness, was published in German five years later and became a bestseller. Some critics said it exaggerated his role in Hitler's entourage.
The opening quote on his website about the book says: "My name is Rochus Misch. I am an insignificant man, but I have experienced significant things." | A former bodyguard of Adolf Hitler who witnessed the Nazi dictator's final hours has died in Germany aged 96. | 23989454 | [

There are also rumours that Mokhtar Belmokhtar, the leader of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), has also been killed in a separate drone strike in Libya although the group has denied this.
Meanwhile, the United States deployed a special forces team deep inside Syrian territory last month which killed Abu Sayyaf, a senior figure within Islamic State.
Killing jihadist leaders is an established policy, although its efficacy as a strategy is not always clear. The most famous example of this approach, of course, came with the raid to kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.
A few months later the wildly popular al-Qaeda ideologue, Anwar al-Awlaki, was killed in a drone strike in Yemen. The appeal of both men declined sharply afterwards prompting the view that killing terrorist leaders might be enough to force the global jihad movement into terminal decline.
That belief has pervaded parts of US President Barack Obama's administration, which has pursued an aggressive drone strategy aimed at decimating much of al-Qaeda's leadership. The overwhelming majority of its most important figureheads have now been killed in this way, severely impacting the group's operations.
For a moment it seemed as if the so-called "War on Terror" was won.
Al-Qaeda hit back. When the group announced Osama Bin Laden's death, it asked: "Are the Americans able to kill what Sheikh Osama lived and fought for, even with all their soldiers, intelligence, and agencies? Never! Never! Sheikh Osama did not build an organisation that would die with him, nor would end with him."
A similar message of defiance followed the death of Awlaki when the group declared: "America has killed Sheikh Anwar, but they can never kill his ideology."
Indeed, the global jihadist current has not ended with the death of Osama bin Laden. Instead it has spread into something much more potent, particularly in Syria and Iraq where fighters of the Islamic State (IS) group run rampant.
They are, ironically, the inheritors of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's legacy - the former leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq who was himself killed by the US in 2006.
When Islamic State detached itself from the central leadership of al-Qaeda to pursue an even more aggressive policy in Syria and Iraq, it claimed to be following the true spirit of Bin Laden's vision.
They defied his successor, Ayman al-Zawahiri, who had ordered IS to confine its operations to Iraq while leaving Jabhat al-Nusra to fight as the official representatives of al-Qaeda in Syria.
The dispute between al-Qaeda and Islamic State has now given way to fratricidal conflict between the two groups and demonstrates both the limits and unintended consequences of killing terrorist leaders.
Herein lies the dilemma. There is obvious utility in killing terrorist leaders. Their deaths offer huge psychological blows to the groups they lead and impairs their operational capacity.
But there are clear drawbacks too. The vacuum left by the absence of terrorist leaders can also fracture the movements they leave behind, spawning even more violent and nihilistic offshoots.

The display in Block 27 places the former camp in the broader context of Nazi Germany's systematic attempt to wipe out Europe's Jewish population.
It is being overseen by Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust institute.
Earlier in Warsaw, Mr Netanyahu accused Iran, one of Israel's strongest foes, of planning a new Holocaust.
By Adam EastonBBC News, Warsaw
The new permanent Shoah exhibition has replaced the dilapidated one that was installed in 1960s communist-era Poland.
It is an impressive, powerful exhibition. Upon entering a darkened room a prayer can be heard. The next room displays a panorama of slides and video of pre-war Jewish life in Europe. One room is devoted to Nazi ideology, showing video of speeches by Hitler and Goebbels. A map points out the numerous Jewish extermination sites across Europe. One of the most moving displays highlights the 1.5 million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. An art installation reproduces their pencil drawings made during the Holocaust on stark white walls.
There is also a Book of Names, running to 58 volumes, which aims to list all the names of the six million Holocaust victims. Finally, there is a room for visitors to sit and reflect upon the horrors they have just seen.
On Thursday, he was taken around the exhibition at the former camp before making a speech at the opening ceremony, Yad Vashem reported on its Twitter account.
The original Jewish exhibition at Auschwitz dated back to the 1960s and had fallen into neglect, prompting the Israeli government to decide recently on a revamp.
An estimated one million Jews, together with some 100,000 people of other ethnicities and backgrounds, died in Auschwitz and the adjacent Birkenau camp, in gas chambers or from starvation, disease and forced labour.
The new display features:
Mr Netanyahu used a visit to the Polish capital on Wednesday to warn that Iran was now a major threat to the Jews.
Iranians are going to the polls on Friday to elect a new president, with the hard-line incumbent, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, not eligible for a third term.
Mr Netanyahu said the Iranian election on Friday would "change nothing" in the Islamic republic's alleged quest for nuclear weapons.
"This is a regime that is building nuclear weapons with the expressed purpose to annihilate Israel's six million Jews," he said. "We will not allow this to happen. We will never allow another Holocaust."
Tehran denies seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.
Iran is viewed as a threat in Israel because of its aggressive rhetoric, its support for militant groups in the region, its arsenal of long-range missiles and its nuclear work.
However, critics of the Israeli prime minister have accused him of citing the Holocaust too frequently in the context of Iran.
Aluf Benn, editor of liberal Israeli newspaper Haaretz, wrote in an editorial last week: "Shoah [Holocaust] warnings have taken over the political and military discourse." | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has opened a Holocaust exhibition at the Auschwitz Nazi death camp site in southern Poland. | 22886415 | [

Mr Abe will be accompanied by US President Barack Obama, making the visit the first by the leaders of both countries since the attack.
Mr Abe will pray for the dead but will not issue an apology, his aides said.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour killed 2,300 US servicemen and propelled the US into World War Two.
After landing, the Japanese prime minister first headed to National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, and laid down a wreath.
He stood for a moment of silence at the cemetery near downtown Honolulu, a memorial to those who died.
All eight battleships at the base were damaged and four were sunk. But the key US aircraft carriers were at sea at the time.
On Tuesday, Mr Abe and Mr Obama will pray for the dead at the site of the attack before holding a summit meeting in Hawaii, their last before Mr Obama steps down in January.
Mr Abe's visit, three weeks after the 75th anniversary of the attack, follows a visit earlier this year to Hiroshima by Mr Obama.
He became the first serving US president to visit the Japanese city, where about 150,000 people are believed to have been killed in 1945 by a US atomic bomb.

Japanese aircraft attacked the US Naval Base in Hawaii at 07:55
2,403
US personnel were killed in the attack
19 US Navy ships, including 8 battleships, were damaged or destroyed
328 US aircraft were damaged or destroyed in the attack, which lasted for one hour and 15 minutes
The first Japanese leader to visit Pearl Harbor was Shigeru Yoshida who in 1951 stopped over in Hawaii both on the way to and from the signing of the peace treaty with the US in San Francisco.
His visit on the way home included a meeting with the commander of the US Pacific fleet, Admiral Arthur Radford. The office where the two men met offered a direct view of the site of the Japanese attack.
"I could almost see the wreck of Arizona" out of the window, Mr Radford later wrote in his memoir, referring to a battleship that sank in the attack.
He recalled the meeting as having been initially rather awkward until his dog walked over to the Japanese visitor to be patted, breaking the ice between the two former enemies. | Japanese PM Shinzo Abe has visited several memorials in Hawaii, ahead of a visit to Pearl Harbor, the US naval base attacked by the Japanese in 1941. | 38438714 | [

Lyth hit two sixes and 13 fours in his 116 not out and shared a third-wicket stand of 150 with skipper Andrew Gale.
Gale's 61 was his highest score of the season, but he fell to Tom Curran as his side closed on 207-3, 60 behind.
Earlier on day three, Sam Curran (59*) and Steven Davies (56) helped Surrey add 103 to their overnight 164-5.
With the best part of four sessions lost to rain on the first two days, a draw is now the most likely result, but having begun the game in fifth place, Yorkshire will have set their sights on reaching 400 to ensure they leave the Oval with maximum bonus points.
After Davies and the younger Curran added 75 for the seventh wicket, Surrey lost their last four for 28 in the space of 10 overs.
Alex Lees departed in the eighth over of Yorkshire's innings and Jack Leaning followed for a duck when he chopped Stuart Meaker's first delivery into his stumps.
Lyth, though, was unperturbed as he progressed to three figures off 159 balls and partner Gale, who started the match averaging only 17.93, grew in confidence to reach his first half-century of the summer before he was caught behind.
Surrey all-rounder Sam Curran told BBC Radio London:
"It was nice to finally get back into the side after school and stuff, to get some time in the middle.

"It's been frustrating. Both teams wanted four days (of play) because we're both looking for wins.

The motoring organisation also called for extra funding for road repairs in the chancellor's Budget next week.
The Local Government Association (LGA) said there was a £12bn backlog in road repairs that would take councils "more than a decade" to clear.
The UK government said it was providing "unprecedented levels of investment".
In an AA survey of 25,208 drivers, 39% said their tyres, bodywork or other parts of their vehicles had been affected after hitting a pothole in the past two years.
AA president Edmund King called on local authorities to "get to grips with fundamental road maintenance" such as poor drainage and crumbling surfaces.
He also said Chancellor George Osborne should allocate extra funding for road repairs to "reverse the toll on vehicles and their owners' pockets".
LGA transport spokesman Peter Box said current funding levels and the repairs backlog meant councils "can only keep pace with patching up our roads and filling potholes".
"Long-term and consistent investment in local road maintenance is desperately needed," he added.
Road maintenance is devolved to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Transport Minister Andrew Jones said the government had allocated a "record £6bn to councils in England to improve local roads over the next five years".
"We topped this up with £250m last year specifically to tackle the blight of potholes," he said.
A Scottish Government spokesman said in the last financial year more than £220m was allocated for the maintenance of motorways and trunk roads, which it said was 20% more than five years ago.
The Welsh and Northern Irish authorities have been approached for comment. | The AA is calling on councils to "get to grips" with road maintenance after a survey found 39% of UK drivers reported pothole damage in the past two years. | 35770425 | [

Last week Mr Cameron told the BBC he would not serve a third term as PM.
Asked by Andrew Marr if that meant Mr Cameron would have to "stand down at some point during the next Parliament", Mr Duncan Smith replied: "He does."
Downing Street said the PM would serve "every single day" of a second term.
In his BBC interview on Monday, the prime minister said that, if re-elected this May, he would serve the full five years of another Parliament and then leave Number 10 - leading Labour to accuse him of arrogance.
Mr Duncan Smith told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show the "way that all comes about will have to be discussed" adding that Mr Cameron would "serve what essentially is a full term" - but there would "of course" be a leadership contest at some point.
"You've had to literally rap the knuckles of people like Gordon Brown and previous prime ministers to get them to think of going," he said.
"[Mr Cameron] is actually very keen to say 'there is a limit, there's an amount of time a prime minister should serve before they get stale,' and he is right about that."
Mr Cameron has tipped Home Secretary Theresa May, Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson as potential successors.
But Mr Duncan Smith said that, having been Conservative leader at a time when the party "was quite interested in having a fight in an empty room", he would not make predictions.
He said he expected the next Conservative leader would already have been "in the public sphere for some time".
Following Sunday's interview, a Downing Street source told the BBC: "David is very clear he will serve a full five-year second term, every single day of that as prime minister.
"In terms of what happens in five years' time, we'll sort that out in five years' time."
A YouGov poll for the Sunday Times has suggested Labour has a four-point lead over the Conservatives, putting Labour on 36% with the Tories on 32% - while an Opinium poll for The Observer suggests the Tories are on 34% and Labour are on 33%. | The Conservatives would have to choose a new leader before the end of the next Parliament if David Cameron wins a second term as prime minister, Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has said. | 32106879 | [

The High Court granted the adjournment after hearing a share purchase agreement was due to be completed, which meant HMRC would receive £1.4m.
HMRC had applied to put the Formula 1 team, based in Enstone, Oxfordshire, in administration over unpaid tax.
On Thursday, Renault confirmed it would take over Lotus.
The adjournment was granted by Mr Justice Birss until 21 December, with the completion of the purchase agreement due on 16 December.
He approved Lotus' application for the adjournment, which was backed by Renault Sport and not resisted, because the proposed deal was the result most likely to be of benefit to the creditors and the best chance of rescuing the business as a going concern.
Other creditors, owed in excess of £2m, would be paid by 31 December, counsel Jeremy Bamford told the court.
Renault first announced its intention to take over the cash-strapped team in September.

One hundred years since his birth on 3 October 1916, his family and former colleagues have been talking about the private side of the famous doctor.
Victoria Jordan, his great-niece, remembers him with fondness.
"In our family, Frank is remembered as a big personality who was completely dedicated to his work, but who would take centre stage at family gatherings at which he would invariably arrive at least an hour late", she said.
"He was great company, had a mischievous streak and a low opinion of those in authority - and in particular, politicians!"
This lack of respect for authority was a common theme and is the reason, some believe, that he has not received the credit in the UK that his achievements deserve.
While Pantridge would go on to save many lives because of his invention - including the high-profile case of former footballer Fabrice Muamba, who collapsed on the pitch in 2012 and was saved by a portable defibrillator - his early life was somewhat troubled.
He grew up on a farm on the outskirts of Hillsborough, County Down, his father died when he was 10 and he was expelled from school several times.
But he completed his secondary education at Friends School, Lisburn, and went on to study medicine at Queen's University, Belfast, qualifying in 1939.
When World War Two broke out, he was posted to the Far East as medical officer to an infantry battalion.
He was captured during the fall of Singapore in 1942 and, as a prisoner of war, spent much of his time as a slave labourer on the Burma Railway.
Pantridge survived the usually fatal cardiac beriberi - where protein deficiency damages the heart - which may have sparked his interest in heart disease.
He was later awarded the Military Cross for his service, with the citation reading: "This officer worked unceasingly under the most adverse conditions of continuous bombing and shelling and was an inspiring example to all with whom he came into contact. He was absolutely cool under the heaviest fire."
In 1950, he was appointed as a physician at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. At that time, coronary heart disease had reached epidemic proportions,
Doctors knew that most coronary deaths resulted from a disturbance of the heart rhythm which could be corrected with a brief electric shock to the chest.
Prof Pantridge suggested such disturbances should be corrected where they occurred, whether it be in the workplace, at home or on the street. But this meant a portable defibrillator.
In 1965, with the help of John Geddes, a senior house officer, and technician Alfred Mawhinney, Prof Pantridge invented the world's first portable defibrillator, using car batteries for the current.
He installed it in an ambulance and the device was first used in January 1966. That first model weighed 70 kilos, the modern devices weigh just 3kg.
The so-called "Pantridge plan" was taken up in America where mobile units were swiftly put into operation.
But in the UK, his invention was met with ridicule in some medical circles. It would be 1990 before all front-line ambulances in the UK were fitted with the device.
The mobile defibrillator was used to treat US President Lyndon Johnson when he suffered a heart attack in Virginia in 1972.
It was said that Frank Pantridge became so well known in America that he could have run for Congress.
As a result of his invention, the process emergency departments use to treat cardiac arrest is known as "The Belfast Protocol".
Pantridge, the individual, was regarded as both complex and outspoken.
He died in 2004. In his obituary in the Guardian newspaper observed: "Unquestionably focused and brilliant, he brought about unique advances in cardiology.
"He could be cantankerous, gruff, even rude, and yet witty and generous. For him to like someone he had to respect them and he could then be a very loyal friend."
Many in the medical field believe it was his outspoken nature and problems with authority that meant he did not receive a knighthood.
Ronnie Kelly has happy memories of his time working with the cardiologist.
"Frank was a very talented man," he said. "I was part of the design team at the Royal that put the portable defibrillator into production," he said.
"He made the cardiac defibrillator more accessible and, in turn, saved many lives. I am very proud that I had the opportunity to play a small part in making this happen."
Victoria Jordan said her family are very proud of her great-uncle's achievements. "I think he would be pleased to be remembered as a pioneer in his branch of medicine and as someone who was proud of his roots in the countryside outside Hillsborough," she said. | Professor Frank Pantridge is remembered as the cardiologist who invented the portable defibrillator - a device that has helped save millions of lives over the past 50 years. | 37540915 | [

BBC Sport takes a look at five things you might have missed in the EFL on the last full match day before the festive season.
There were six late winning goals in the Championship on Saturday, all with ramifications in the race for promotion and the bid to avoid relegation.
Brighton's Glenn Murray headed home in the fifth minute of stoppage time against Birmingham City to ensure the Seagulls will spend Christmas eight points clear of third-placed Reading.
Jaap Stam's men had looked like having to settle for a point at Blackburn before George Evans hit an injury-time winner to move them back up to third.
Yorkshire rivals Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday ensured they would spend Christmas in the top six thanks to winners in the 89th minute and stoppage time against Brentford and Rotherham respectively.
Meanwhile, 23rd-placed Wigan were set to take a point from their home game against Ipswich before David McGoldrick popped up with an 88th-minute winner for Mick McCarthy's men.
Match of the day in the second tier must go to Barnsley's 4-3 win at Cardiff. The Bluebirds led in the third minute before trailing 3-1 at half-time.
Peter Whittingham and Antony Pilkington's 89th-minute strike seemed to have given Neil Warnock's side an unlikely point but Ryan Williams scored in the fifth minute of injury time to make it a happy journey back to South Yorkshire for the Tykes.
Well, maybe not quite miracles but it's probably fair to say neither Wes Brown nor Isaiah Osbourne would have been fancied by many to get on the scoresheet today.
Former Manchester United and Sunderland man Brown, 37, scored on his Blackburn Rovers debut to level the match against the Royals.
It counted for nothing in the end thanks to Reading's late winner but it was Brown's first goal since netting for Sunderland in December 2011.
Walsall midfielder Osbourne only had to wait a shade over three years to end his scoring drought.
The ex-Aston Villa player opened his account for the Saddlers to give them a point against Bradford City.
He'll probably be pleased this goal meant a little more than his last one which opened the scoring for Blackpool against Derby in December 2013. The Rams went on to win 5-1.
Yeovil boss Darren Way, assistant Terry Skiverton and the 18-strong match-day squad put £300 behind the bar at Carlisle as a 'thank you' to fans for making the long trek north.
"Special mention must go to the supporters because how far they've travelled to watch this game is unbelievable commitment," Way told BBC Somerset.
"This is beyond the end of the Earth. I just hope they feel that the players gave everything and they can be proud of their team."
Travelling Glovers fans certainly seemed appreciative as they tweeted the club with pictures of pies and pints.
Sadly for the 96 Yeovil fans who made the 660-mile round trip to Brunton Park, the hosts were not in such a generous mood, with the Cumbrians claiming a 2-1 win.
Roll the clock back to 27 September and Bury are celebrating their sixth league win of the season and sit second in League One.
The following 16 games have brought a sum total of zero victories and the Shakers have slumped into the relegation zone.
David Flitcroft was sacked after presiding over seven consecutive league defeats but replacement Chris Brass, given the job until the end of the season on Thursday, has fared little better, losing his first five matches.
Bury twice took the lead at home to Oxford on Saturday but were pegged back on each occasion by a Chris Maguire free-kick before a Greg Leigh own goal gave the U's victory.
"We've got to dig in and fight a little bit harder than we are right now to keep the ball out of the net," Brass told BBC Radio Manchester.
It's been a tough start to the season for Exeter City and their match-going regulars.
Going into today's game against Mansfield, the Grecians had claimed a healthy seven wins away from home but were the only team in the EFL yet to taste success on their own turf.
Paul Tisdale's side ended their wait for a win at St James Park, which dated back to April, with a 2-0 win over the Stags thanks to a double from Ollie Watkins.
"I'm delighted," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon. "It had to come at some point and we did it today. It was hard work and the boys have deserved it against a really strong team.
"They put us under pressure in the second half and in many respects outplayed us but we stuck to it and 2-0 is a great feeling."

The Tower Blocks - Our Blocks project has been described as a "Domesday Book" of the UK's post-war reconstruction.
It will include images of towers which have been demolished over the past 30 years, as well as those which are still standing.
It has been created by social and architectural historians from Edinburgh College of Art.
The project is to receive a £52,900 grant of Heritage Lottery funding.
This money will go towards digitising the 3,500 photographs, as well as supporting local outreach initiatives which the team hope will encourage high-rise residents to tell their stories.
Glasgow's Red Road flats and Gorbals housing schemes will be among the multi-storey housing projects on show in the publically accessible digital catalogue.
Other well know high rises to feature in the archive include the Everton flats in Liverpool, Birmingham's Chelmsley Wood, Manchester's Hulme redevelopment, and London estates such as Broadwater Farm, Thamesmead and Roehampton.
The project is due to be completed by late 2017.
Prof Miles Glendinning, head of the Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies at the college of art, said: "We hope this project will help contribute to the ongoing shift in public attitudes towards the post-war Modernist housing heritage, which is fast turning from an object of dislike and alienation into a force for potential community empowerment.
"Council tower blocks were once the most prominent and dramatic legacy of the post-1945 reconstruction drive, but mass demolitions over the past 35 years, still continuing today, have depleted this vast heritage, leaving it obscured or incomprehensible to the public at a time when popular interest in post-war Modernist heritage is sharply increasing."
Colin McLean, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in Scotland, said: "Without archives, vast segments of our nation's history would be missing.
"As the high rise towers that have dominated many towns' and city's skylines begin to disappear, it is important for us to capture this heritage and give voice to the experiences of those who live in these flats and communities."
Glasgow 2014 chiefs faced criticism when they planned to demolish the Red Road flats as part of last summer's Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.
They eventually ditched the proposal to blow down five of the six remaining 1960s blocks live on television amid fears of a public protest.
Critics said it was insensitive to former residents and to the asylum seekers who still occupied the sixth block.
When they were built between 1964 and 1969, the Red Road flats were the highest in Europe at 292ft (89 metres). | Images of every tower block built in the UK are to be catalogued in a fully searchable digital archive. | 31415007 | [

"I am seriously considering emigrating to Australia, Jamaica or the US," says Faye Jones.
The 32-year-old PA from Wokingham jumps every time there's a knock at the door and tiptoes around neighbours who might call the police.
Her crime? Five years ago, Faye was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and after suffering from the side effects of prescribed drugs, she now uses cannabis to ease her pain, nausea and inflammation.
In the UK, where cannabis is a Class B drug, police can issue warnings or on-the-spot fines for possession of a small amount, while courts can impose sentences of up to five years for possession of larger amounts and up to 14 years for those who supply or produce it.
Faye - a campaigner for United Patients Alliance (UPA), which is calling for cannabis to be legally accessed by patients - has a raft of places she could start a new life.
Medicinal cannabis is legal - or being legalised - in 25 US states, and in countries from Canada to Italy.
"But I'd rather not leave the country I was born in," she says. "Mum would be devastated."
Perhaps now she won't have to. A group of MPs has called on the government to legalise medical cannabis after publishing the results of a seven-month inquiry into medicinal use of the drug.
The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Drug Policy Reform took evidence from 623 patients, professionals and experts and more than 20,000 scientific and medical reports were reviewed.
"The results are clear. Cannabis has a medical benefit for a wide range of conditions," says Mike Barnes, a professor of neurological rehabilitation.
However, the NHS warns that cannabis use carries a number of risks, such as impairing the ability to drive, as well as causing harm to lungs if smoked and harm to mental health, fertility or unborn babies.
It can also have other serious consequences, with users potentially vulnerable to developing psychotic illnesses, the Royal College of Psychiatrists says.
A Home Office spokesman said the government had no plan to legalise cannabis, adding: "There is a substantial body of scientific and medical evidence to show that cannabis is a harmful drug which can damage people's mental and physical health."
Yet the End Our Pain campaign, which supports the legalisation of medical cannabis, estimates that one million people across the UK rely on the drug for medical reasons.
By Michelle Roberts, health editor, BBC News online
After weighing the evidence, experts say there is a clear therapeutic role for medical cannabis.
There is good evidence that it helps alleviate the symptoms of chronic pain, MS and nausea associated with chemotherapy, as well as anxiety.
But for treating other conditions, such as depression, headaches and epilepsy, there is limited or no convincing evidence that it works.
Like any drug, cannabis can cause side effects.
Smoking cannabis in a joint rolled with tobacco can make asthma worse and probably increases the risk of lung cancer.
Regular cannabis use puts some people at increased risk of psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, and can also reduce fertility.
Cannabis is addictive and you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, difficulty sleeping, sweating and shaking.
Cannabis affects how the brain works. It can make users feel very anxious and even paranoid, it can make it difficult to concentrate and learn.

The United Patients Alliance says 30% of cannabis patients surveyed by the APPG cited depression as a reason for self-medication - though patients reported multiple conditions and depression often accompanies other primary conditions.
About a quarter of patients said they used the drug to combat anxiety and a quarter mentioned pain.
Almost 70% of the patients surveyed said they had tried conventional medicines first, before turning to cannabis.
Doctors told Faye she would have to take low dosages of cancer drugs for the rest of her life to deal with her rheumatoid arthritis.
But after suffering hair loss, frequent sickness and "brain fog", her job became untenable and her boss took her aside.
"I'd just bought a house and had a mortgage - I couldn't afford to lose my job," she says.
Inspired by MS patients, she tried cannabis and now spends about £250 a month making her own capsules and creams, mixing cannabis oil and coconut oil.
Faye says she takes the pills "like I would ibuprofen, when I need them", claiming that the low dosage is not enough to make her high.
Along with 38% of users surveyed by the APPG, she also uses a vaporiser to consume the drug.
Fewer than a third smoke it with tobacco; one in five smokes it without tobacco. Others eat it, take capsules or use creams.
MS patient Penny Fitzlyon, from London, said she was prescribed a variety of opiates which "switched off all interest in the outside world".
She said they left her "feeling grotty and miserable", took away her sense of humour and made her constipated.
"Then after a second MRI scan, I overheard a nurse saying it wouldn't be long before I'd be in a wheelchair," she says. "So I started doing my own research. Cannabis was the only thing I could find that hadn't killed anyone."
Penny, 52, says she tracked down a herbalist who, unlike street sellers, knew how to mix different strains of cannabis for different patients.
"We want to get rid of street dealers," she says. "Backstreet cannabis is not good - they mix it with sand or glass to make it look all sparkly and heavy."
Some 72% of cannabis bought for medicinal use is purchased on the street or from friends, but 20% of users grow their own, in groups or by themselves. The remainder is sourced on the internet or abroad, according to those surveyed by the APPG.
Penny, who has been cautioned by the police twice, estimates that she spends £5,000 a year on cannabis - a fraction of the £30,000 annual cost of MS prescription drugs, she says.
Though she avoids "getting stoned", without small doses of the drug Penny finds simple tasks such as walking to the shops "incredibly painful".
For Jon Liebling, from Reading, brushes with the law have only made him more determined to fight for the right to use cannabis as a medicine.
A traumatic childhood, with a mother who attempted suicide and an absent father, left Jon anxious, depressed and struggling to concentrate at school. But after trying cannabis at university, he didn't look back.
"I knew it was illegal", he says, "But it just worked. All the pain and stress I'd carried in my back, shoulders and neck for years just went."
But the 48-year-old's use of cannabis would see him arrested by the police three times - forcing him to leave university, drop out of a nurses' training course and finally land him in court for growing his own.
Though the arrests led to no more than a slap on the wrist and a fine, he said they left him feeling "angry and disenfranchised".
"My life has been ruined by the law," he says. Now, as political director of the UPA, Jon says the conclusions of the parliamentary group are "incredibly exciting".
"I don't think judges really want to put people away for it," he says. "I was really honest with the judge about my medical history and he was really sympathetic."
Though Faye fears the police "taking away her medicine" or indeed sending her to prison, she says most people are "very understanding" - even potential employers.
She says she has mentioned her End Our Pain campaigning in numerous job interviews "and it never stopped me getting a second interview".
"I'm cannabis proud," she says. | Cannabis should be legalised for medical use, a cross-party group of MPs has said, but there are thousands of people already using the Class B drug for this purpose. | 37318935 | [

The 24-year-old Tunisia international, who initially joined Lille on a season-long loan last summer, has agreed a three-year contract with Les Dogues.
Sliti has made just five appearances since his return from the 2017 African Cup of Nations - where he played all four matches as Tunisia exited the tournament in the quarter-finals.
He has played 16 games for Lille, scoring once - during November's 4-2 home victory against Caen.
Sliti, who began his career with Sedan before moving to Paris FC in 2013, has won 11 caps for his country and scored three goals.
Lille are 11th in the table going into Saturday's fixture against Metz. | French side Lille have exercised their option to sign Naim Sliti on a permanent deal when his loan move from second-tier side Red Star expires this summer. | 39831337 | [

The glasses enhance images of nearby people and objects on to the lenses, providing a much clearer sense of surroundings.
They have allowed some people to see their guide dogs for the first time.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People says they could be "incredibly important".
Lyn Oliver has a progressive eye disease which means she has very limited vision. Now 70, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa in her early twenties. She can spot movement but describes her sight as "smudged and splattered".
Her guide dog Jess helps her find her way around - avoiding most obstacles and hazards - but can't convey other information about her surroundings.
Lyn is one of nearly two million people in the UK with a sight problem which seriously affects their daily lives.
Most though have at least some residual sight.
Researchers at Oxford University have developed a way to enhance this - using smart glasses. They are fitted with a specially adapted 3D camera.
The images are processed by computer and projected in real-time on to the lenses - so people and objects nearby become bright and clearly defined.
Lyn Oliver has tried some of the early prototypes, but the latest model marks a key stage in the project, offering greater clarity and detail than ever before.
Dr Stephen Hicks, from the University of Oxford, who has led the project, says they are now ready to be taken from the research setting to be used in the home.
"If you're walking around you're able to navigate doorways, and see hazards on the floor that might trip you up. So you can become more independent and walk around with greater ease."
He says there has been a great response from people who have worn them.
"People have loved them. They remark how much they can see now. They can see details in faces, they can see their own hands. People have commented how they've seen their guide dog for the first time. It's a real enabler."
We took Lyn Oliver to try the latest glasses in Oxford's covered market, a busy enclosed space with lots of potential obstacles.
Soon she found her surroundings coming into focus. Her first response was to turn to our cameraman and exclaim: "You've been spotted!"
Later, after navigating the passageways, corners and shopfronts she expressed her delight.
"I can see you! So I'm just standing here talking and not thinking. I'm looking!"
She said the glasses could help in many different settings.
"This way I could find my way to a door, around tables and out. Find the stairs and up the stairs."
She was taken aback when the glasses came off.
"Oh you've gone! You're not there any more. You've disappeared!"
The headset is still substantial, and connected by cable to a laptop in a backpack. But the researchers are confident in time they can be made the size of normal glasses.
Eventually, they say, they could be available for the cost of a mobile phone, saving the NHS millions of pounds by preventing falls.
They will start making an initial batch of 100 sets later this year, which will be offered to blind and partially sighted people to use in their daily lives. If that goes well they will start to produce larger numbers over the next couple of years.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People has followed the project closely. John Worsfold from the RNIB says they could make a massive difference to people's lives.
"I think these could be incredibly important. From what we've seen so far they could offer some great independence for blind and partially sighted people to get out and about and carry on normal lives." | Researchers from Oxford University say they've made a breakthrough in developing smart glasses for people with severe sight loss. | 27768890 | [

The 27-year-old's career, which started at French club Montpellier, has taken him to Ukraine and Germany and he spent last season on loan at Ligue 1 side Nice.
"I've joined the biggest club in Turkey and after two years without the title I hope my coming will change that," Belhanda told the club's official website.
He becomes Galatasaray's third signing of the season after Brazilian defender Maicon and French forward Bafetimbi Gomis.
The 2012 BBC African Footballer of the Year nominee made his debut for Montpellier in 2009 and went on to make 144 appearances, scoring 29 goals for the club.
A member of the Montpellier side that won the French Ligue 1 title in 2012, he joined Dynamo Kiev from Montpellier on a five-year deal in July 2013.
He scored 11 goals in 88 appearances for the capital side, winning the Ukrainian League and Cup titles twice.
Belhanda spent the last two seasons on loan with German side Schalke and French outfit Nice.
A former French youth international, Belhanda chose to represent the country of his parents Morocco in 2010 and has two goals in 30 appearances for the Atlas Lions. | Moroccan international Younes Belhanda has joined Turkish giants Galatasaray from Ukranian side Dynamo Kiev on a four-year deal. | 40468591 | [

The pledges are included in the party's five-year plan for government.
Increased free child care and more apprenticeships are promised, along with an M4 relief road and a South Wales Metro public transport network.
Plaid Cymru said the programme was "lacklustre", while the Conservatives said Labour had let Wales down.
The most expensive commitments cover 30 hours of free childcare a week over 48 weeks for parents of three and four-year-olds, and 100,000 apprenticeships open to people of all ages.
The programme covers what the Welsh Government will try to achieve, while the first indication of what will be cut will emerge when its draft budget is published in October.
The main pledges include:
A Welsh Government source said there had been a "full and frank assessment of every pound, shilling and pence that we spend" in light of the financial uncertainty surrounding Brexit.
He added: "Some tough decisions will have to be made in the first year.
"Salami slicing is not going to get the job done this time round. There will be areas and programmes that will be cut."
Responding to the claims on BBC Radio Wales, the first minister said: "There are going to be cuts... I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
"Of course, our budget is shrinking, it has been for many years and that means very difficult decisions have to be taken.
"We are going to have to look at some of the schemes we have delivered for many, many years and make a judgement."
A programme, called Taking Wales Forward, reflects many of the pledges outlined in Labour's manifesto for the Welsh Assembly election in May.
Mr Jones said Labour would see through its election promises, including building an M4 relief road and a South Wales Metro.
He said: "The UK's withdrawal from the European Union creates some uncertainty and challenges, but our mandate is clear.
"The Welsh Government's relentless focus will be on driving improvement in our economy and public services, which are together the bedrock of people's daily lives.
On local government reform, Mr Jones said many services would have to be delivered "on a wider basis" in future, but he would not say whether this meant council mergers were still on the cards.
Plaid Cymru AM Rhun ap Iorwerth said the programme for government portrayed the "gulf" between the two parties.
That was despite pledges that were part of a deal struck in return for allowing Carwyn Jones to be re-elected as first minister back in May.
"It should come as no surprise that a lacklustre manifesto has led to a lacklustre programme for government," said Mr ap Iorwerth.
"Yes, it's good to see the elements that Plaid Cymru drove through in our post-election one-off agreement, including a pledge to create 100,000 new apprenticeships and a new drugs and treatments fund, but Labour's lack of innovative ideas shines through again."
As the official opposition in the assembly, Plaid said it would be "challenging Labour to do better".
The Conservatives said it was "difficult to disagree" with the plans but said Labour had "let Wales down" since devolution.
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said: "As usual we are left with little by way of detail, and Carwyn Jones's claim that Wales is punching above its weight is delusional.
"In spite of our many and varied talents, the evidence suggests that the exact opposite is true.
"Under Labour, the Welsh education system ranks behind Vietnam; large swathes of Wales are poorer than parts of Bulgaria, Romania and Poland; and Welsh NHS waiting times are the longest in the UK.
"If the Labour Party thinks that Wales punching above its weight, then they have a very low opinion of our country indeed."
Janet Jones, Wales policy chair for the Federation of Small Businesses, said: "We welcome the commitment in the Programme for Government to supporting innovation and providing additional support for businesses.
"Key to that commitment must be a new economic development strategy which meets the challenges facing the Welsh economy in the coming five years.
"That strategy needs to contain fresh thinking and should place a focus on growing small firms into the successful and grounded medium-sized businesses that Wales needs to put our economy on a stronger footing."
Brexit will cast uncertainty over the next five years, says Carwyn Jones.
But as someone who campaigned for a Remain vote, he is bound to talk up the risks - as he sees them - of leaving the EU.
Whatever comes from Brexit, we know for certain there are plenty of hurdles that will make life difficult for Mr Jones if he is to deliver this five-year programme.
Labour has no majority in the Senedd. Today's statement is a chance for him to explain how he will make Labour's manifesto a reality. But in doing so, he must keep other parties on side to maintain his grip on power.
And we know there will be growing pressure on the Welsh Government budget. More cuts loom and sources close to the first minister say they have already had to wield the axe to raise the funds necessary to pay for expensive manifesto pledges. | Labour will keep its election promises despite uncertainty over Brexit, but cuts to some services are inevitable, the first minister has warned. | 37407084 | [

Witnesses said after the attack, at Forest Hill station at about 13:20 GMT, a man then chased other people outside the station.
People said they saw a man attack another on the train then run out of the station shouting "he wanted to kill Muslims".
A 38-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and remains in police custody.
Train services were temporarily stopped on the line.
Police said they were not treating the attack as terrorism, but as a hate crime.
Ambulance officials said the victim, who is in his 40s, was treated at the scene for a stab injury and taken to a south London hospital.
He remains in hospital in a serious, but not life-threatening, condition.
Emma Pinder, who was at the station, said a man had "chased other people outside the station with a knife".
Shellby Curry, 24, from Forest Hill, said she saw a man "waving what looked to be a knife in his hand" near the station and screaming words like "Muslims... kill them all".
She described the attacker as a black man with short hair, who she thought appeared to be in his late 30s or early 40s.
Several people phoned the police, who arrived about 10 minutes later and restrained him, Miss Curry said.
"I was walking along and someone stopped and said, 'be careful, he's got a knife'. As I looked around there he was.
"I just grabbed my baby and ran across the road. Looking back I saw him marching up and down waving his arm about."
Appealing for witnesses senior investigating officer Det Ch Insp, Paul Langley, said: "This was a serious assault on a man in broad daylight and we are aware that other passengers may have seen what happened or been threatened themselves.
"We have spoken with many witnesses from the train but if you saw what happened and haven't yet contacted police, please do so as soon as you can."
Services were stopped on the rail line but have since reopened with severe delays, London Overground said. Roads around the station were also shut for a while. | A man has been stabbed on an Overground train in south-east London. | 38290932 | [

Fuel pods were left at the junction of Cumsons Road and Tullygeasy Road.
The Northern Ireland Environment Agency said the waste will be removed with no harm to the environment.
Ulster Unionist Councillor David Taylor said there was despair and palpable anger within the local community over the incident.
"This problem is now of epidemic proportion within the south Armagh area and the locations chosen by those individuals carrying out this crime, who I have no doubt have clear links to republican paramilitary elements, are very sinister indeed," he said.
"The incident in question at Cumsons Road saw the perpetrators of this crime visit the scene twice overnight to dump the fuel pods highlighting their clear disregard for those living nearby or indeed to the lawful authorities.
"As I have stated previously there is a clear desire for a co-ordinated effort to be initiated between all the relevant legal agencies to stamp out this illegal activity." | Five tonnes of waste from laundered fuel has been dumped at Newtownhamilton in south Armagh. | 32177252 | [

Michal Podlaszczyk had already served 12 and a half years for the equivalent of manslaughter in his native Poland in 2003 when he was 18.
A year after his release he came to the UK and in October raped and robbed a woman in a Leicester park.
Podlaszczyk, 33, was jailed again on Wednesday for a minimum of seven and a half years.
He had previously admitted nine different charges including rape, sexual assault and robbery.
Leicester Crown Court heard Podlaszczyk attacked a 55-year-old woman as she walked to the bus station through Bede Park shortly after 07:00.
He punched her to the ground, dragged her to a secluded part and raped her.
During the attack he took her bank card and demanded her Pin number in order to steal £20 from her account.
He also took her mobile phone and £1.15 from her purse saying he needed money for beer.
Prosecuting, Jim Thomas said the woman was left with injuries to her knees and face, including a denture being knocked out.
Reading a statement from the victim, Mr Thomas said: "She is frightened to go out and is constantly worried when there's a knock at the door."
Podlaszczyk had been released from prison in Poland in July 2015 and settled in the UK last August.
Judge Philip Head called the attack "sadistic" and described the defendant as a "damaged and dangerous" killer.
He said the defendant took "great pleasure from it [the attack] by humiliating her by some disgusting actions".
"This was motivated by sex and he thought he could profit at the same time." | A killer has been jailed for a "sadistic" sexual attack a year after his release. | 39571392 | [

Lucas failed to complete the first of the 10-race series but recovered to win seven of the next nine.
The 40-year-old is the only confirmed member of the British Paralympic team for the Rio Games.
"It's been a really good regatta and great to start 2016 off with a win," she said.
"We have had some great winds and some good conditions in different directions which has made it a good regatta."
The Sonar crew of John Robertson, Hannah Stodel and Stephen Thomas missed out on a medal by finishing fourth.
The trio were second behind Canada going into the final day but three fifth places ended their medal hopes. | Britain's Helena Lucas finished with three wins out of three to secure overall victory in the 2.4mR event at the Sailing World Cup in Miami. | 35446962 | [

Carlsen sealed victory following three weeks of play and a series of tiebreakers in New York.
Karjakin tied against Carlsen in 12 regular rounds but was beaten in the final phase of four quickfire games.
Organisers said the event was followed by about six million chess fans around the world.
Hundreds of spectators paid between $100 and $500 to watch the games at a former fish market in Manhattan, separated from the two grandmasters by soundproof glass.
After his victory, Carlsen's supporters greeted him by cheering and singing "Happy Birthday", to mark his 26th birthday.
The boy who conquered the chess world
The prize of $1.1m (£879,000) is divided between the two players with the winner taking 60%.
Chess reached the height of its popularity in the 1970s, when the game was overshadowed by Cold War rivalry.
In 1972, the victory of American Bobby Fischer over Russian defender Boris Spassky at the World Chess Championship in Iceland was dubbed the "match of the century".
Commentators mentioned current geopolitical tensions in connection with this year's match when Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the Russian president of the World Chess Federation, was accused by the US of collaborating with the Syrian government and barred from travelling to New York. | Magnus Carlsen of Norway has won the World Chess Championship for the third consecutive time after defeating challenger Sergey Karjakin of Russia. | 38165491 | [

The 69-year-old also managed the Blues on a temporary basis for the final three months of the 2008-09 campaign.
"I am excited to return," said the Dutchman. "Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world but is not where it should be at the moment.
"However, I am sure we can all turn this season around."
Mourinho was sacked on Thursday with champions Chelsea 16th in the Premier League table, one point above the relegation zone.
Hiddink watched Saturday's visit of Sunderland from the stands, sat next to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and former Blues striker Didier Drogba.
Coaches Steve Holland and Eddie Newton were in charge of the team for the game against the Black Cats.
"It's a fantastic appointment. I'm very happy about it. This club needs an experienced manager at the helm and Guus Hiddink is clearly that," said Holland.
Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo said a "palpable discord between manager and players" had contributed to Mourinho's dismissal, the second time he has been sacked by the club.
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola, who is set to reveal on Saturday if he will stay at the German club beyond the end of the season, is among the possible permanent replacements.
Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone and out-of-work Carlo Ancelotti, who managed Chelsea for two seasons from June 2009, have also been suggested as potential candidates for the full-time role.
A statement on the Chelsea website read: "The owner and the board welcome back a coach with a wealth of top-level experience and success, including his previous spell with the club in 2009 when we lifted the FA Cup.
"Mr Abramovich and the board believe that Guus has what it takes to get the best out of our talented squad."
Hiddink won six Dutch league titles and the European Cup in two spells as PSV Eindhoven manager. He has also coached South Korea, Australia and Russia.
He took over at Stamford Bridge in February 2009, replacing Luiz Felipe Scolari, and shared the role with his job as Russia manager.
Since then, he has endured unsuccessful spells as manager of Turkey, Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala and the Netherlands.
He stood down as Netherlands boss in June, during a miserable Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.
The Dutch failed to reach the finals, finishing fourth in their group behind Czech Republic, Iceland and Turkey. | Former Netherlands boss Guus Hiddink has been appointed interim Chelsea manager until the end of the season following the sacking of Jose Mourinho. | 35130191 | [

The city centre road was made pedestrians only from June to November during the redevelopment of the Westgate Shopping Centre.
Now Oxfordshire County Council has agreed to continue the policy when the centre reopens because of the predicted increase in pedestrians.
The "experimental traffic order" still has to be signed off by the government.
The closure has also been blamed for increasing pressure on other city centre roads.
When the shopping centre is finished next year there are expected to be 11 million more people using it.
Council officers have estimated the number of pedestrians using the road will increase by 145% from 4,000 per hour up to 9,800 per hour.
They have also calculated that at present, 48 buses per hour use the road.
Officers said in their report that assurances from the bus companies "do not remove our concern over pedestrian safety".
But transport boss David Nimmo Smith said he was worried it would cause increased bus traffic in other roads such as St Aldates, which he described as an "architectural gem".
The Secretary of State for Transport will now have to approve the plan before it comes into effect. | Councillors have voted to ban buses and taxis from Queen Street in Oxford for six months because of safety concerns. | 38384761 | [

The IXV resembles a smaller, robotically controlled version of the US space shuttle, and could provide Europe with a re-useable orbital transportation system of its own
It blasted off on a Vega rocket from South America just after 13:40 GMT.
The test data could also inform future Mars landing technologies.
The demonstrator flew east around the globe, before coming down in the water west of the Galapagos Islands at about 15:20 GMT.
The wedge-shaped IXV (Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle) was designed to gather information on how space objects fall back to Earth.
Commenting on the flight, Esa director-general Jean-Jacques Dordain said: "It couldn't have gone better.
"But the mission itself is not over because now it is necessary to analyse all the data gathered during the flight."
At the time the craft re-entered the atmosphere, it was moving at 7.5km/s. As it pushed against the air, the temperatures on its leading surfaces would have soared to 1,700C.
Flaps and thrusters controlled the trajectory, ensuring the IXV came down close to a recovery ship.
A parachute system deployed in the very late stages of the flight and put the two-tonne vehicle gently in the ocean. Floatation balloons came out to stop it from sinking.
Europe's expertise on re-entry technologies is more limited than, say, the US's or Russia's - something it wants to change with the help of the IXV.
Esa's project manager Giorgio Tumino told BBC News: "Europe is excellent at going to orbit; we have all the launchers, for example. We also have great knowhow in operating complex systems in orbit. But where we are a bit behind is in the knowledge of how to come back from orbit.
"So, if we are to close the circle - go to orbit, stay in orbit, come back from orbit - we need to master this third leg as well as other spacefaring nations."
Esa has already approved a follow-on spacecraft, called Pride, which looks very similar in design to the X-37B, a robotic craft operated by the American military.
No-one is quite sure what missions are flown by the X-37B, but they are likely to include the early testing of new technologies for future satellites.
This could be a role also for Europe's Pride vehicle. In-orbit servicing of satellites is a capability often discussed in this context as well.
Esa nations will meet shortly to define these roles.
"We need still to agree with all the member states all the different types of operations in orbit. But whatever the payload, it will always be in the perimeter space of civilian applications," stresses Mr Tumino. | A prototype for a versatile mini-spaceplane has successfully completed its first test flight, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. | 31421200 | [

The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission says these firms draw from a small pool of graduates, who probably went to private or selective schools.
This version of talent can be "mapped to middle-class status", it adds.
The report was based on interviews with staff from 13 elite accountancy, law and financial services firms.
The study by Royal Holloway, University of London, on behalf of the commission, examined barriers to entry for people from less privileged backgrounds to these elite firms.
It found that despite attempts to improve social inclusion over the past 10 to 15 years, such elite firms continue to be heavily dominated at entry level by people from privileged social backgrounds.
The study concluded that elite firms are "systematically excluding bright working-class applicants" from their workforce.
To break into top jobs, state school candidates needed higher qualifications than privately educated peers, it added.
This can be mainly attributed to recruitment methods which targets the Russell Group, which represents 24 UK universities.
Some 40% to 50% of job applications to the case study firms were made by applicants who had attended these universities. They received 60% to 70% of all job offers.
Candidates from fee-paying and selective schools, which tend to dominate Russell Group universities, made up 70% of graduate trainees at case study firms, despite being only 7% and 4% of the UK population respectively.
Firms also used nuanced criteria to help find "talented" applicants, the report said.
This included factors like the candidate's accent and experiences of travelling.
The report said: "Elite firms define 'talent' according to a number of factors such as drive resilience, string communication skills and above all confidence and 'polish', which participants in the research acknowledge can be mapped to middle-class status and socialisation."
Commission chairman Alan Milburn, the former Labour health secretary, said: "This research shows that young people with working-class backgrounds are being systematically locked out of top jobs. Elite firms seem to require applicants to pass a 'poshness test' to gain entry.
"Inevitably that ends up excluding youngsters who have the right sort of grades and abilities but whose parents do not have the right sort of bank balances.
"Thankfully some of our country's leading firms are making a big commitment to recruit the brightest and best, regardless of background. They should be applauded. But for the rest, this is a wake up and smell the coffee moment."
David Johnston, chief executive of The Social Mobility Foundation, said the report showed there was "still a pervasive attitude in some of our professions that all the best people can be found in a very small segment of the country's population".
Prof Les Ebdon, director of Fair Access to Higher Education, said: "Access to graduate careers should be about your skills and ability to do the job, not about the places you've been, the school you went to or the contacts you have.
"That's why I am encouraging universities to consider how they can best support disadvantaged students as they prepare for life after university." | Elite firms are sidelining the UK's bright working-class applicants in favour of privileged, "polished" candidates, a report says. | 33109052 | [

The council plans to build at least 830 new homes in the Ancoats area of the city and neighbouring New Islington.
The plan will need to raise £1bn in the next 10 years and may need further investors to build the homes.
It is the first phase of the Manchester Life initiative and the homes will be rented out privately once built.
The plan will help the city meet its target to build tens of thousands of homes by 2027, according to Manchester City Council.
"The planned transformation of the eastern edge of the city centre is the single biggest residential investment Manchester has seen for a generation," said Sir Richard Leese, leader of Manchester City Council.
Abu Dhabi United Group is an investment company owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Nahyan and was formed to enable him to buy Manchester City Football Club in 2008.
It has also invested in other sporting assets including New York City Football Club, Melbourne City Football Club and Manchester City Women's FC. | Abu Dhabi United Group, which owns Manchester City football club, will invest in a plan by Manchester City Council to build new homes. | 27987676 | [

A 'Time To Go, Massimo' poster appeared on an advertising board outside the East Stand on Thursday.
The poster was paid for by supporters angry that Cellino has not sold his 75% share in the Championship club.
"He has been very positive even through the dark days and bad performances," Raynor told BBC Radio Leeds.
"People will do what they want - they'll protest or they won't protest. If we win some football matches there will be less people protesting."
Cellino agreed in principle to sell his majority share to supporters' group Leeds Fans United in at the end of last October, but changed his mind a week later.
Fans have also been left angry about a 'pie tax,' which saw the club raise the price of Championship tickets in the South Stand by £5.
Cellino is currently appealing a ban from the Football League that would prevent him running the club.
"(Cellino) has talked about the future. He has been supportive in bringing in the three players we've already brought in," Raynor added.
"The biggest frustration for us is that we haven't been winning as many games as we should and that doesn't help matters."
Leeds, who are currently 16th in the Championship, have won just one of their last eight league games. | Leeds United's assistant head coach Paul Raynor has said that chairman Massimo Cellino is still positive, despite fan protests at Elland Road. | 35552599 | [

Steve Davies told AMs officials were "concerned" about the volume of early entry.
It follows criticism from Education Secretary Kirsty Williams that children were being "banked" at lower qualifications.
Mr Davies said the government wants to take action on the issue in the autumn.
Ms Williams expressed concerns earlier in May that the focus on raising GCSE attainment to C grade has led to "unintended consequences", with some children put in for early entry to bank a lower qualification instead of potentially reaching higher.
The senior civil servant - asked about the issue of "early entry as a way of gaming the system" by Labour AM Lee Waters - said the Welsh Government advice was that decisions around early entry were made "in the interests of an individual child".
He told the assembly's public accounts committee that this year that some schools have conducted early entry "almost to test the system".
But he added: "I do believe... there are also those out there who are gaming."
Mr Davies acknowledged: "Sometimes that's the pressure that the system we have puts on them.
"I'm not in any way justifying it, but I can understand that people will resort to that."
Mr Davies said the government was working with Qualifications Wales (QW) to identify "the scale of the problem" with a report from the body due in September.
He added Ms Williams is "very aware of it" adding that action will be taken in the "early part of the autumn term" following the review. | Some schools are "gaming" the exam system by entering children early, the Welsh Government director of education has said. | 39926741 | [

Northumbria Police said the pair were arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images.
A spokesman said investigations were ongoing to "ensure the safeguarding of those involved" and to check that there was no ongoing risk of exploitation.
Both boys have been bailed pending further inquiries.
Supt Sarah Pitt said the force was working with schools across South Tyneside to make children "aware of the risks around sharing images of themselves and others via text and social network sites".
She said: "The internet is an essential tool and social networking sites are a popular way for children to communicate with their friends, but we need to make sure they stay safe online and know how to use it responsibly.
"It's very important that we make sure young people stay safe online and are aware of the risks and what they can do to avoid them.
"Anyone who may have concerns about images they have shared or received should speak with a trusted adult or the police straight away." | Two schoolboys aged 12 and 13 have been arrested after concerns were raised about children sharing inappropriate images on social media. | 36089362 | [

A two-hour walkout on Friday by the examiners will be followed by a week of short strikes in the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
The Public and Commercial Services union said more will be held throughout June at the Department for Transport (DfT) head office and several agencies.
The DfT said contingency plans were in place to keep vital services running.
The PCS union said the planned closure of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) offices would "wipe out the high quality face-to-face services these offices provide to the public and motor traders".
The closure of eight of the UK's 18 coastguard stations would mean "the loss of life-saving local knowledge", it added.
But the government said the changes to its coastguard provision would modernise the service.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "With unemployment high and our communities suffering as a result of the government's cuts, ministers should be providing all the help they can to local economies that are crying out for support and investment.
"Instead they're ploughing on with entirely unnecessary and unpopular cuts to vital transport services.
"These strikes across the whole range of transport services form a major part of our ongoing fight against cuts to pensions, jobs and pay."
The PCS said more than half of its members had backed walkouts with four out of five supporting industrial action short of a strike.
Mark Peacock, head of BSM driving school, said: "Taking your driving test is a big day and can be nerve-wracking enough without the thought of strike disruption.
"However, candidates who have chosen to keep their test booking for the afternoon of 8 June should still attend their test so it can go ahead if possible."
The DfT said it was "disappointed" at the decision to strike while it was still in discussions with the union.
The MCA said those striking would be staff responsible for co-ordinating rescues and "the rescuers themselves will continue to operate as normal".
Helicopters would continue to fly and the RNLI would still send out its lifeboats, a spokeswoman added.
Last week, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) staff voted to take industrial action over jobs and privatisation after a third of workers took part in the ballot.
The PCS represents 55,000 members in HMRC, including tax advisers and call centre staff.
The union says thousands of jobs face the axe over the next few years on top of 30,000 posts already lost since 2005.
PCS members were involved in a 24-hour UK-wide strike by public sector workers last month over government changes to pensions.
The union is one of the largest in the UK with around 250,000 public sector members. | Driving examiners and coastguards are to hold several strikes against plans they say will hit jobs and pensions. | 18320190 | [
