Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said a new charter arrangement would end the long-running row over seafarers' pay.
The RMT union had claimed some workers on board two freight boats were paid less than £4 an hour.
The charter change will see contracted out services return to operator Serco Northlink from next month.
The freight vessels Hellier and Hildasay have been operated by Seatruck, which is contracted to run the service by Serco Northlink.
Seatruck argued the national minimum wage was not applicable to the crew, many of whom are non-UK residents.
Serco Northlink said it had repeatedly offered to bridge the pay gap and backdate it, but Seatruck declined to accept.
Mr Yousaf said the new arrangements would come into force early next month subject to some financial and regulatory details being finalised.
He said: "I'm very pleased to see an agreement in principle now in place to end this long running issue around the freight vessels serving the Northern Isles.
"The new charter basis will allow the wage issue to be resolved. Going forward, I can confirm that all crew members will be paid at least the minimum wage."
Serco Northlink was awarded the six-year £243m Northern Isles contract in 2012.
It operates three ferries and two cargo boats to the Northern Isles on a route which is heavily subsidised by the Scottish government. | An agreement has been reached to ensure foreign workers on freight boats serving Orkney and Shetland are paid at least the minimum wage. | 38591554 | [

Michelle Carter is charged with involuntary manslaughter for her role in the suicide of Conrad Roy III.
Prosecutors allege Ms Carter drove the Massachusetts 18-year-old to his death to attract sympathy.
She has asked a judge to rule on the case, rather than a jury of her peers.
"You need to do it, Conrad," Ms Carter texted him on the morning of 12 July, according to records presented by the Bristol County District Attorney's Office.
"You're ready and prepared. All you have to do is turn the generator on and you will be free and happy," she wrote.
She told him in another message: "You're finally going to be happy in heaven. No more pain. It's okay to be scared and it's normal. I mean, you're about to die."
As he expressed doubts, she kept pushing.
"I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you're ready … just do it babe," she said.
"No more pushing it off. No more waiting," she went on.
Mr Roy was found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning in his vehicle at a Kmart car park in Fairhavens, Massachusetts, on 13 July 2014.
Texts show he wavered in his plan to follow through with the suicide, at one point getting out of his pick-up truck.
Ms Carter replied in a message: "Get back in."
After his death, she fundraised for mental health awareness and led a charity softball event in his honour.
Mr Roy's mother, Lynn Roy, told the court on Tuesday she had no warning of her son's suicide.
She said: "I thought he was a little depressed."
On the day of his death, Mr Roy went to the seaside in Westport, Massachusetts, with his mother and sisters, according to prosecutors.
He bought his sisters ice cream, joked about bathing suits and spoke of a scholarship he had just won, while making other plans for the future.
As arguments began on Tuesday, images of his text exchanges with Ms Carter were broadcast on the courtroom wall.
"She used Conrad as a pawn," said Assistant District Attorney Maryclare Flynn, adding that the accused had wanted to gain attention as the "grieving girlfriend".
"She talked him out of his doubts point-by-point, assured him that his family would understand why he did it, researched logistics and reassured him that he was likely to succeed, and pushed him to stop procrastinating and get on with it, mocking his hesitation," said the prosecutor.
Lawyers had requested the case be dismissed on the grounds of right to free speech.
But a juvenile court judge ruled that encouraging suicide was not protected under the US constitution.
Defence lawyer Joseph Cataldo argued that Mr Roy had been motivated to kill himself for some time, and that his depression was spurred by family troubles.
He told the court that Ms Carter had previously talked her boyfriend out of suicide attempts.
Recently unsealed documents show Mr Roy attempted to take his own life several times before, and had spent time researching methods online.
Defence lawyer Mr Cataldo said in court: "My heart goes out to the family, but this was a young man who planned this for months and months".
According to local media reports, Ms Carter had also texted Mr Roy that his parents would "get over" his suicide.
"You've hit that point and I think your parents know you've hit that point," the accused texted. "You said your mom saw a suicide thing on your computer and she didn't say anything. I think she knows it's on your mind and she's prepared for it.
"Everyone will be sad for a while but they will get over it and move on. They won't be in depression. I won't let that happen. They know how sad you are, and they know that you are doing this to be happy and I think they will understand and accept it.
"They will always carry you in their hearts."
Mr Roy replied: "Aww. Thank you, Michelle."

But, if the venerable founding father had lived in Northern Ireland over the last few months he could have changed it to "death, taxes and another RHI story every day".
The News Letter continues firing journalistic wood pellets on the ever-burning fire. Its political editor Sam McBride reports on two leaked documents that reveal the names of two civil servants who told figures in the renewable heat industry in July 2015 the scheme was soon to end.
The paper has received business emails appearing to indicate that information was circulating about the scheme's imminent end.
It's been claimed that a spike in RHI applications in the two months before the scheme's October 2015 closure was due to details of its ending being widely known.
However, the News Letter points out that the department have not confirmed or commented on the latest revelation, and adds that there is no suggestion that the civil servants named acted improperly.
Sam McBride also sets out, across eight lengthy bullet points, the newspaper's justification for publishing the names of the civil servants and stresses that it is "not alleging corruption". Watch this space.
Elsewhere on Planet RHI, the Irish News reports that a charity watchdog is investigating after a green energy group said it would be "ethically improper" to warn Stormont about flaws in the scheme.
The managing director of Action Renewables, a group paid to process RHI applications, made the comments to the Irish News last week. Now the Charities Commissions says it has "opened a concern" on Action Renewables.
Meanwhile, the Irish News' front page is dedicated to the naming of a soldier who shot dead a man in Belfast 45 years ago, a move welcomed by the man's widow.
Mary Thornton, speaking outside court on Wednesday, said: "The way I look at it is, he shot him, so why not?"
She added that the inquest had helped her family answer questions about the death of an "ordinary father who lived for myself and the children".
Elsewhere, Thursday's papers firmly put Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in the firing line after he wrongly told Westminster that a PSNI officer shot on Sunday had died.
"Apologise!" says the News Letter's front page, reflecting a call by Police Federation chairman Mark Lindsay who called it a "jaw-dropping gaffe".
It's understood Mr Corbyn has written to the PSNI's chief constable to say sorry, but the Belfast Telegraph says it's only the latest in a line of "blunders from the Labour leader".
If the Labour leader is feeling sheepish today, spare a thought for the chap caught taking a naked jog over Londonderry's Craigavon Bridge.
The Daily Mirror reports that the man pleaded guilty at Derry Magistrates' Court on Wednesday after his Tuesday night run was caught on CCTV.
A defence lawyer said he had "given no reason for the jogging naked across the Craigavon Bridge, but he is not in the habit of doing this type of thing". The man received a conditional discharge for a year.
January is nearly at a close so that means it's nearly February - aka Six Nations mania time. After beating New Zealand last November, and confirming their rightful place as rugby's greatest team, Ireland are seen as the dark horses.
So the mind games have started, reports the Daily Mirror. Joe Schmidt's side take on Scotland in the opening fixture on Saturday week, and Scotland coach Vern Cotter says Ireland and England will win the title.
The paper reports that Schmidt is having none of it: "I'm sure VC said that. A little more expectation on my shoulders and a little off his shoulders maybe. He has got bigger shoulders than me."
And finally from shoulders to Leo Santa Cruz, Carl Frampton's opponent for this weekend's highly anticipated WBA World Featherweight Championship rematch.
Santa Cruz lost to Frampton last summer but, the Belfast Telegraph reports, he's more focused this time after his father's all-clear from cancer.
"Frampton is going to face the real Leo Santa Cruz this time. In that first fight, I didn't come in as ready as I've been for past fights."

Should Scotland be an independent country?
And for some those six words printed on four million ballot papers did not allow for any kind of doubt.
For the true believers it was simple, Scotland was a nation.
Not for these purists the distraction of debate, obsessing over the price of oil and the return on government gilts.
No. They took a long, if not particularly fashionable view which conjured up battles and spirits of old, ghosts of men who fought for Scotland's freedom in the 13th and 14th centuries: William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Andrew de Moray.
Some who thirsted for independence drew inspiration from the Jacobite risings which attempted to restore the House of Stuart to the British throne in the 18th century.
Others remembered the short-lived 1820 insurrection by the Lanarkshire weaver James Wilson and his fellow radicals who were hanged for rising up to demand parliamentary reform.
And yet such undiluted historical nationalism was a largely private affair.
Wilson's slogan "Scotland Free, or a Desert", which in the 1980s you would see daubed on Scottish motorway bridges in sloppy white paint, did not feature in 2014.
Those days are past now. And in the past, it seems, they must remain.
"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose," said the late governor of New York, Mario Cuomo. Not in Scotland.
The independence campaign of 2014 was almost entirely prosaic, with advocates focusing on what the late Professor Sir Neil McCormick called a "utilitarian nationalism" which desired independence as "the best means to the well-being of the Scottish people."
This was a battle not in memory of Stirling Bridge or Bannockburn nor to avenge Flodden or Culloden but for Scotland's wallets.
"Yes" lost, of course.
Scotland awoke on a damp, drizzly autumn morning in 2014 to a decisive, if not overwhelming, endorsement of the Union: 44.7% had said yes to independence, 55.3% had said no.
Why?
A feeling has taken hold among some of "the 45", as the losers quickly became styled, that Scotland was cheated; that a powerful cabal of business, media and even the security apparatus of the British state combined to bully and frighten folk into voting no.
Scottish referendum results in detail
And certainly the establishment message about independence, as promulgated by an almost entirely hostile press, was strikingly negative, despite many "No" voters holding a positive, even romantic view of the union.
During the campaign, supporters of the UK often said they felt sadness and dismay at the prospect of a 300-year-old relationship ending in divorce.
Many Scottish citizens were born south of the border — census data put the number eligible to vote in the referendum at 422,386 — and many more Scots had personal connections, or simply an affinity with England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
There were plenty of Scots for whom a commitment to the union was not a pragmatic calculation. It was simply about being British, feeling at home in London and Edinburgh, in Glasgow and Liverpool, in Aberdeen and Newcastle; about having close friends, family and colleagues north and south of the Cheviots.
And yet with rare exceptions, such as a passionate speech by the former Labour prime minister Gordon Brown, "Better Together" campaigners for Britain were as prosaic as their opponents.
Commonality of language; three centuries and more of shared history; the creation of the welfare state; the bond of standing together to defeat fascism: all were drowned out by a message of economic and even geopolitical doom.
Scotland, it was suggested, would be impoverished by going it alone, interest rates would soar, businesses would flee. In short, Scots would suffer.
The former secretary general of NATO, Lord George Robertson, who once predicted that the revival of the old Scots Parliament as a devolved legislature would "kill nationalism stone dead", even warned that independence would be "cataclysmic" for the western world. It would be welcomed by the global "forces of darkness," he intoned.
Many supporters of independence were stunned by the range and ferocity of the attacks and were shocked at how robustly their proposition was scrutinised.
If only every second news story ended with a line about how wonderful everything would be in an independent Scotland they suggested, absurdly, then the people would see the light.
At least one prominent critic of the "Yes Scotland" campaign has a rather different take.
"In the September 2014 referendum, Yes failed to win the economic arguments," he wrote in a critique six months after the vote, because it "failed to present a case on the currency, a central bank and fiscal policy that was credible."
The critic is no cheerleader for the union. He is Gordon Wilson, leader of the Scottish National Party from 1979 to 1990.
Jim Sillars, a former deputy leader of the party, has also criticised its strategy, writing that the campaign was "handicapped by an SNP White Paper that, on at least two counts (a currency union and 10 per cent cut in corporation tax), was a gift to the No side."
Since Mr Wilson's review of the referendum six months ago, the economic argument has not become any easier for those who say Scotland would be better off by seceding from the UK.
The figures and the arguments are, by now, wearily familiar to Scots: in 2013/14, Scotland paid £400 more per head in tax than the UK as a whole. This includes revenue from oil and gas in Scottish waters, in other words the lion's share of tax from Britain's North Sea operations.
So far so good for a nationalist.
But with £400 more per head in contributions, Scots received £1,200 more per head than the UK average in spending.
£400
Scots pay more per head in tax than the UK average
£1,200
Scots receive more per head than UK average
Campaigners against independence call this hefty £800 per head a "union dividend", warning that if Scotland had control of all taxation and domestic spending, even in an arrangement that stopped short of full independence, it would face deep cuts to public services or big tax rises.
Nationalists retort that Scotland, like practically all nations including the UK, could borrow money and run a deficit while it designed policies better suited to improving growth and productivity.
But right now the starting point for such an ambitious project looks tough. The latest official figures for borrowing as a share of economic output - a sensible measure of how much debt a country can sustain - show that Scotland was performing considerably worse than the UK average in 2013/14, with a deficit of 8.1% of GDP compared to the UK's 5.6%.
Not only that but assuming a future independent Scotland wanted to use sterling, a currency union would be likely to face the same objections raised during the referendum campaign.
And, for all the recent insistence of nationalists that oil is nothing more than a bonus for Scotland, the slump in price to a value way below even the Scottish government's most pessimistic forecast, along with thousands of job losses in and around Aberdeen, can hardly be regarded as inconsequential.
And so nationalism remains in danger of being ensnared by Catch-22. If Scotland is struggling so badly in the union, how can it afford to go it alone? If it is thriving, why bother?
Either way, having chosen to campaign on utilitarian ground, and having trumpeted the very same official figures on previous occasions when they were more favourable to independence, the SNP can hardly complain that a majority of voters weighed up the risks and decided not to take them.
Nonetheless the very fact that many who voted "No" said they might have voted "Yes" had the economic outlook been more favourable suggests that something was afoot, a feeling that has only increased in the year following the poll.
Not so long ago Scottish nationalism felt like a fringe activity, pursued by the kind of man who wore a kilt on a Tuesday afternoon.
Then, with the opening of the devolved parliament in 1999, the centre of Scotland's political life shifted to Edinburgh and within a decade everything had changed.
In 2007 the SNP won control of the devolved government and this May, just seven months after its raison d'être was rejected in a supposed "once-in-a-generation" vote, it swept the board at the general election, taking 56 of Scotland's 59 seats in the House of Commons.
Nationalism was not "stone dead" but alive and thriving. The country, it seemed, had heard something that it liked after all, a positive message about a brighter future.
This thirst for change was in tune with other European countries where anger about out-of-touch politicians and arrogant bankers following the financial crisis of 2007/8 was transformed, for a time at least, into a rebellion against The System.
Like voters in Greece, Spain, Italy and elsewhere, Scottish citizens have found somewhere to channel a previously inchoate feeling that 21st century capitalist democracies are "gamed" in favour of a wealthy elite.
Whether or not this feeling is accurate — and whether or not nationalism is the answer — are of course questions open to debate. But whether or not the feeling is real is surely not in doubt; indeed the same forces are now having an extraordinary effect on the Labour Party.
You might call it a "Paisley Pattern" after the rejection by that town of the polished and precise Douglas Alexander, who ran Labour's general election campaign and was preparing to take up the post of foreign secretary, in favour of the passionate 20-year-old Mhairi Black of the SNP, now the youngest MP of the democratic era.
Bright, optimistic and raw, with her insistence that the Labour party left her, rather than the other way around, Ms Black personifies the shift to the SNP.
On a bright spring day a fortnight before the general election, we watched her bounce up the street, blonde hair pulled tight in a ponytail, a messenger's bag slung over her shoulder, charming voters with a sympathetic ear and a smile.
She looked like the anti-politician's politician.
"We triumphed on a wave of hope" she said later in a powerful maiden speech which became an internet sensation, "something different, something better".
We triumphed on a wave of hope - something different, something better."
It is this kind of vague optimism which is proving hard for the SNP's challengers to oppose and which now makes the strategy of economic doom from supporters of the union look short-sighted.
After all, when Glasgow has voted to leave the UK, something is up. Glasgow! The second city of the British Empire; bombed in the Blitz when Britain stood together against the Nazis; cradle of the pan-British Labour movement — a majority in Glasgow said they wanted independence for Scotland.
And while only Dundee, West Dunbartonshire and North Lanarkshire followed suit last September, there was evidence even in the "No" vote of a loosening of ties.
Research carried out immediately after the referendum suggested that far more "No" voters across Scotland rejected independence primarily because the economic risks were too great than did so because of a strong attachment to the UK and its shared history, culture and traditions.
Since then every plan to devolve further power from Westminster to Holyrood seems only to encourage greater support for the SNP and its calls for even more devolution, while attempts to design a stable federal solution for the UK have stalled not least because the Liberal Democrats, who should by rights be inking the blueprints, are in disarray.
And so the question for supporters of the United Kingdom is this: if the message that money is all that matters continues to be the dominant one in the minds of voters, then what actually binds the country together?
If it is nothing more than coins, notes and loans then perhaps the UK is fraying at the edges after all.
A perception, encouraged by all three major UK parties before the referendum, that the union relies on relatively poor Scotland being dependent in perpetuity on English subsidy might have looked like the best way to win last September's referendum but even if it was accurate, how durable, popular and attractive is such a downbeat, even cynical, message in the longer run?
The SNP's stunning general election landslide hints at one answer - and these days the question is being asked south as well as north of the border with a rise in English nationalism and proposals to reduce the influence of Scottish MPs at Westminster prompting Gordon Brown to warn that "the union is in mortal danger."
There may yet come a day when England wants Scotland to leave the UK.
Meanwhile the SNP leader, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon continues to walk on water and the party's electoral lustre remains apparently undimmed as it skilfully keeps the focus on "Westminster austerity" and the Conservative Party's mission to slim the state by slashing public spending, a political philosophy which happens to be rather unpopular in Scotland.
The devolved SNP government's popularity by contrast is all the more remarkable when you consider the serious difficulties it faces after eight years in power in the areas it does control, including;
Perhaps the party has become a victim of its own success as well as its opponents' weaknesses. Perhaps slick professionalism, clever marketing and unflinching loyalty from supporters and parliamentarians do not make for effective scrutiny of government policies.
And there are big problems ahead for the SNP as it poses as a radical socialist party while embracing the neo-liberal economic consensus which has prevailed since Margaret Thatcher was prime minister, problems that will only become thornier with Jeremy Corbyn leading the Labour Party on to genuinely Left-wing ground.
How many of the SNP's policies, apart from unilateral nuclear disarmament and arguably land reform could be regarded as genuinely radical?
The conundrum for the nationalists has not changed, how can they convince Middle Scotland that independence is a benign project while at the same time presenting it to those who rarely or never vote as something close to a revolution?
Well, not by insulting people for a start.
While the "Better Together" campaign preferred to do its hectoring in private last year - with one senior figure from the Labour Party literally slamming the door as he stormed out of a meeting with the BBC for example - the SNP leader Alex Salmond appeared content to allow certain online supporters, dubbed "cybernats", to take a far more public approach to rubbishing anyone who dared question them.
Thus Scotland's most successful modern author JK Rowling and its greatest Olympian Sir Chris Hoy were both abused online, as were thoughtful pro-Union commentators such as David Torrance, Chris Deerin and Alex Massie, painted not just as political opponents or sceptical journalists but as enemies of Scotland, traitors, Quislings and so on.
Such language appeared designed to delegitimise anyone who asked difficult questions rather than to engage them in meaningful debate.
Whereas Mr Salmond was fond of dealing with such criticism by pointing out instances of unionists abusing nationalists online, Ms Sturgeon has taken a more robust approach, slapping down social media users who make offensive remarks in the name of the nationalist movement.
This First Minister appears to understand that hectoring and harassing voters does not tend to win them over.
Still, there are many people in Scotland for whom 2014 remains a year to forget, a divisive, unnecessary distraction from the challenges of the 21st century. Some felt uncomfortable in their own country and keep quiet still about their "Britishness" and support for the United Kingdom.
But there are many others who regard last year as a turning of the tide, a beginning rather than an end, an opportunity for change.
And with a utilitarian narrative firmly embedded in the minds of Scottish voters it is not too difficult to imagine a shift that puts the union under pressure again.
Consider these questions;
Perhaps these particular scenarios are unrealistic but the point is that with the SNP so strong, discontent with the status quo bubbling over, and most of the debate reduced to practicalities alone, it is not difficult to conjure up situations where Scottish independence is suddenly thrust back to the top of the agenda.
It is as clear as the water in that Angus burn that the debate about Scotland's future is far from over. | It was an elegant question, as clear as the chill water in an Angus burn. | 34263130 | [

He made the comments at a news briefing in his home city, Davao, on Tuesday, where he also unveiled his new cabinet.
Since 1986, 176 journalists have been killed in the Philippines, one of the most dangerous countries for reporters.
But Mr Duterte said many of them had "done something wrong".
The former mayor of Davao was formally declared the next leader on Monday, after a landslide victory in May's election. He will be sworn in on 30 June.
When asked about the high number of attacks on journalists, Mr Duterte said that "you won't be killed if you don't do anything wrong".
Citing Jun Pala, a journalist, politician and critic of Duterte who was murdered in 2003, he said: "I do not want to diminish his memory but he was a rotten son of a bitch. He deserved it."
"That can't be just freedom of speech. The constitution can no longer help you if you disrespect a person."
The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines said the comments were "appalling".
"Mr Duterte's crass pronouncement not only sullies the names and memories of all 176 of our colleagues who have been murdered since 1986, he has also, in effect, declared open season to silence the media."
The US-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said the remarks "give security officials the right to kill for acts that they consider defamation".
"This is one of the most outrageous statements we have ever heard from a president in the Philippines," said CPJ's Shawn Crispin in Bangkok.
The news conference was a typically strident appearance by the man nicknamed "The Punisher" for his strict criminal policies in Davao.
Here are some of the other main points:
Mr Duterte's popularity rests on his reputation as a crime-fighter.
During his time as mayor of Davao crime fell sharply, but it also saw the rise of death squads and, according to rights-groups, at least tacit official approval of the murder of more than 1,000 people.
Saying the new crackdown started "now", Mr Duterte promised to pay 3m pesos ($64,000; £44,000) to officials who capture suspected drug lords,
If any law enforcement agent was "messing around with drugs and it comes to a fight, I want you to kill him personally", he said.
Mr Duterte's new cabinet is mostly male - only two so far are women - and they were broadly seen as conservative choices.
Perfecto Yasay, who has said talks are the only way to resolve the country's South China Sea disputes, was named foreign secretary.
Mr Duterte's former schoolmate, Carlos Dominguez, was named finance minister, and economics professor Ernesto Pernia will be economic planning minister.
More controversially, former marine Nicanor Faeldon was chosen to be head of the customs bureau.
He led a coup attempt in 2003 and in December took a group of protesters to a disputed island held by the Philippines, to a furious response from Beijing.
"We have this pact with the West, but I want everybody to know that we will be charting a course of our own."
Currently a staunch ally of the US and recipient of its protection, if not formal backing, in territorial disputes with China, Mr Duterte said the Philippines would no longer rely as much on Washington.
The US State Department responded by saying it had "no problem whatsoever" with bilateral talks among parties to South China Sea disputes, but that most would not be solved that way.
Mr Duterte said he was waiting for the results of the case The Philippines has before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, over disputed islands in the South China Sea.
"Then, with the advice of the cabinet, I might be able to proceed," he said. "But you know, I am not ready to go to war. It will just result in a massacre." | Philippine President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has been condemned by media groups for saying some of the many journalists killed in the country had deserved to die. | 36423329 | [

Home Secretary Theresa May said the change - from April 2016 - would help cut the number of non-Europeans and their dependants granted settlement each year from 60,000 to 20,000.
The pay threshold will apply to people wanting to remain permanently after more than five years working in the UK.
Those who don't qualify will be ordered to leave the UK after six years.
The pay threshold is the first time that a British government has imposed an economic test on the right to settlement in the UK. For decades, settlement has been granted on the basis of length of time living in - and ties to - the UK, recognising that people who have been living in the country for five years have made it their permanent home.
Prime Minister David Cameron says he wants to reduce annual net migration to "tens of thousands" from the current level of around 250,000.
It is aiming to bring the figure, which includes students and the families of visa holders, to below 100,000 by 2015 - a year before the latest restriction is due to come into force.
In a written statement to Parliament, Mrs May said: "Until now, settlement has been a virtually automatic consequence of five years' residence in the UK as a skilled worker. Those who have settled have tended to be less well paid and lower-skilled than those who have not.
"And the volumes of migrant workers settling have reached record levels in recent years."
According to official figures, in 1997 fewer than 10,000 migrant workers and their dependants were granted settlement, but by 2010 this had risen to 84,000.
Mrs May said: "So in future, we will exercise control to ensure that only the brightest and best remain permanently."
The £35,000 earnings threshold will be waived for any "shortage occupations" if official advisers tell ministers that the UK needs more workers with skills or training.
Scientists and researchers in PhD level jobs will also be exempt from the earnings test.
Nicola Dandridge of Universities UK, said: "The government has responded to the concerns... by exempting PhD-level jobs from the new pay threshold for settlement.
"We argued strongly that such international academics and researchers should be made exempt from any pay threshold on the basis that their salaries are not comparable to those of highly skilled migrants working in other sectors.
"If we are to continue to produce Nobel Prize-winning research and groundbreaking work, we must offer a welcoming environment to the best academics from around the world."
The government says it will also restrict the arrival of foreign domestic workers to those who are travelling with their employers, such as diplomats or business people temporarily working in the UK.
Mrs May said: "We recognise that the ODW (overseas domestic worker) routes can at times result in the import of abusive employer/employee relationships to the UK.
"It is important that those who use these routes to bring their staff here understand what is and is not acceptable. So we will be strengthening pre-entry measures to ensure that domestic workers and their employers understand their respective rights and responsibilities."
Under the new rules, overseas domestic workers who come to the UK with their employer must leave after six months. Those working in diplomats' households can stay for up to five years. The workers will not be able to extend their stay, switch employer, sponsor dependants or seek settlement.
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said of the new salary cap: "People should only be allowed to settle in this country under these rules if they can pay their way, live by our rules and contribute value to our country. We need strict controls, properly enforced, and all of the mainstream parties should agree on that.
"However, there is still a massive gap between the Tory-led Government's rhetoric and reality. New rules will have no impact if they are not properly enforced."
Migration 'bounce' warning
UK Independence Party home affairs spokesman, Gerard Batten MEP, said the government was "posturing" on immigration because any measures cannot apply to EU citizens.
He said: "The solution is for Britain to take back control of its immigration policy so that we can decide who we admit, for how long, and under what conditions. We can only do that we leave the EU and repudiate the European Court of Justice."
The government says it is making progress towards its plan to cut net migration to tens of thousands a year - the balance between those arriving and those leaving.
But on WednesdayOxford University experts predictedthat even if ministers hit the target by the end of the Parliament, net migration could very quickly "bounce" up again.
Researchers at the Migration Observatory said current cuts were affecting groups of migrants who were less likely to stay in the UK for the long-term, such as students.
In turn, that meant that the UK would start receiving proportionally more migrants who would want to settle for the long-term than leave. If that happened, said the report, migration cuts would "essentially evaporate" following 2015. | Migrant workers will need to earn at least £35,000 to qualify for settlement in the UK, says the Home Office. | 17204297 | [

The star is up for the main prize, album of the year, for her ambitious visual album, Lemonade, which tackles themes of race and female identity.
Her single Formation is also up for song and record of the year.
In all three categories, she is up against Adele - who previously won the ceremony's top three prizes in 2012.
Beyonce now has 62 Grammy nominations across her work as a solo artist and as part of Destiny's Child, making her the fourth most-nominated artist ever.
She has won 20 trophies altogether, although she has yet to clinch the album of the year prize, having been beaten to the title by Beck in 2015 - much to the disgust of Kanye West, who stormed the stage in protest.
West receives eight nominations this year for his album The Life Of Pablo - all in the rap categories.
Drake and Rihanna also have eight nominations, including three for their hit collaboration, Work.
Making Grammy history is Chicago-born musician Chance The Rapper, whose album Coloring Book is the first streaming-only record to be recognised by the Recording Academy.
He achieves seven nominations, including best new artist, without ever releasing a physical album or digital download.
Beyonce and Adele go head to head with Justin Bieber, Drake and country star Sturgill Simpson in the best album category.
If Adele wins, she will become only the second woman to receive the best album prize twice, after Taylor Swift.
Notably absent from the shortlist is David Bowie, who was tipped to win for his critically-acclaimed Blackstar album.
The record does make an appearance in the best alternative album category, as does Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool.
Coldplay have also fared badly, receiving just one nomination - best music video - despite selling millions of copies of their latest album, A Head Full Of Dreams.
Prince receives a posthumous nomination for his final album, Hit N Run Phase Two, in the best engineered, non-classical category, where Blackstar also makes the shortlist.
British star James Corden will host the 2017 Grammy Awards, which take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, 12 February.

George Osborne's stated aim was to create what he called a "new settlement". That's politician's code for re-writing the rules of politics to suit your side.
So it is that he did something rather surprising - slowing and softening spending and welfare cuts now having promised faster and deeper cuts in the run up to the election.
So it is that he adopted a series of Labour policies - a higher re-badged minimum wage, a levy on firms to pay for apprentices, an assault on the tax privilege of so-called non doms.
This in addition to delivering Tory promises to cut income tax, corporation tax and inheritance tax.
But hold on - below those headlines are some potentially eye-watering cuts to benefits - the cuts to tax credits for families will dwarf the pay rise many will get.
There are cuts too to Whitehall budgets on the same scale as seen over the past five years - though where they'll hit is as yet unspelt out.
And there are tax rises - on buying insurance, on buying a car, on pensions - which dwarf the headline tax cuts.
So, yes, it was a "big Budget" - whether it's a big game-changer, a big mess or a big outrage is a judgement for you. | It was indeed a "big" Budget - just as the chancellor said it would be. | 33454266 | [

Duchenne muscular dystrophy affects around 120 families in Wales but the only UK centres are in England.
Charity Action Duchenne said a new facility could improve the quality of life and lifespan of sufferers.
The Welsh government has said it is working to improve services and support for those with muscular dystrophy.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most severe of the muscular dystrophies, according to the Action Duchenne charity.
The charity said the disease, which affects mainly boys, was 100% fatal.
Sufferers are diagnosed usually by the age of five and without good medical intervention they rarely live beyond their late teens and twenties, it said.
Wales was the only country in the UK to screen newborn children for the condition, but screening was withdrawn at the end of November.
The Welsh government said the test was no longer reliable.
Around 100 parents and campaigners gathering at the Welsh assembly on Tuesday are also seeking matched funding to support new research that could deliver a cure for the disease in the next few years.
Nick Catlin, of Action Duchenne, said advances in medicine made a longer lifespan and improved quality of life for all young men living with Duchenne "a real possibility".
"It is a critical time to invest in research for treatments that will see the condition stabilised to enable our young people to live longer," said Mr Catlin.
He added: "Without further funding and government support we cannot achieve our goal of providing personalised care and support into adulthood to improve the quality of life for those living with Duchenne."
John Burke, who lives in Cardiff and whose three-year-old son, Seth, has the disease, is among those taking part in a lobby at the Welsh assembly.
He told BBC Radio Wales that from the outside Seth looked just like a normal, happy, healthy little boy.
But he added: "Unfortunately for me and his mum it's just a waiting and watching game.
"It's a progressive illness. We know that things will get worse in time. Boys start to lose their mobility, they start to fall over. Quite early on boys are in wheelchairs before they reach their teenage years.
"It then starts to affect the rest of their muscles and that particularly includes their respiratory muscles, their heart, the major muscles of the body and that all needs lots of attention, lots of specialist care to look at."
Mr Burke said a specialist centre in Wales would give Seth access to all the help he needed, all under one roof.
"You get to see respiratory physicians, cardiac physicians," he said. "You get to see experts in neuro-muscular conditions."
Mr Burke said Wales should follow the Danish model of treatement, where men were living into their 30s and 40s as opposed to the average life expectancy of 19 to 21 in the UK.
In May, Welsh health minister Lesley Griffiths said the Welsh government was working to improve services and support for individuals and their families who are living with muscular dystrophy.
Ms Griffiths said she was committed to ensuring that all patients with conditions such as muscular dystrophy had personal care plans.
She added that clinical staff had said further investment should be used for specialist occupational therapists and psychology staff. | Parents of children with a muscle wasting disease have called on ministers to create a specialist centre to help sufferers in Wales. | 18867223 | [

The Labour Ministry said the number of people filing for unemployment benefits fell by 98,853, or 2.1%, compared with the previous month.
June is generally a good month for employment as it marks the beginning of the tourist season.
Despite the fall, the unemployment rate in Spain is still the highest in the eurozone.
According to EU figures published on Monday, one in four of the Spanish workforce is out of a job, compared with an overall rate of unemployment for the 17-member bloc of 11.1%.
"June is traditionally good for the unemployment queue but we have never reached a decline of nearly 100,000 people," said Spain's state secretary for labour, Engracia Hidalgo.
"We will have to follow the development of the unemployment figures after this good data for June to verify whether we are turning towards a positive trend."
June is the third month in a row that the number of unemployed has fallen in Spain. In March, the number of jobseekers hit a record high of 4.75 million.
The Spanish government is implementing a number of labour market reforms to try to reduce unemployment, including cutting back on severance pay and restricting inflation-linked salary increases. These have proved very unpopular with unions and workers.
However, it has been forced to approve billions of euros of spending cuts and tax increases in an effort to reduce its debt levels, which have had a negative impact on employment within the economy. | The number of people looking for work in Spain fell almost 100,000 in June, a record for the month, to 4.62 million. | 18686210 | [

The price of Brent crude fell to $27.67 a barrel at one point, its lowest since 2003, while US crude fell as low as $28.36.
Many analysts have slashed their 2016 oil price forecasts, with Morgan Stanley analysts saying that "oil in the $20s is possible", if China devalues its currency further.
Economists at the Royal Bank of Scotland say that oil could fall to $16, while Standard Chartered predicts that prices could hit just $10 a barrel.
What are the factors have caused the price to sink below $30 a barrel - and what could spark a recovery?
In a nutshell, it's down to too much supply and too little demand.
China's economic slowdown has curbed appetite for commodities in general, while Saudi Arabia, which produces a third of the Opec cartel's output, is keener on preserving its market share than it is on cutting production to boost prices.
At the same time, the rise of the US as a shale oil producer means it now imports less oil, adding to the glut on world markets.
This makes life harder for other non-US, non-Opec producers, who are facing cutbacks, particularly in the North Sea.
Big oil companies such as BP, Shell, Total and Exxon Mobil have weathered the storm by cutting back on billions of pounds of investment, and thousands of jobs have been cut.
However, Jeremy Batstone-Carr, chief economist at Charles Stanley, warns that further price falls could really start hurting the big firms.
The first clue that they are starting to suffer, he suggests, will be cutting dividend payments to investors - something they have avoided so far.
Meanwhile, Alan Gelder, of oil analysts Wood Mackenzie, says many North Sea oil operators are "beginning to really feel the pain" at current prices.
He says firms can just about survive as many North Sea operators have already cut costs. But Mr Gelder warns that "there is no money left for future investment".
Paul Stevens, professor emeritus at the University of Dundee, and a Middle East specialist, says the price of oil could theoretically fall to as little as $20 to $25 per barrel.
Why? It may be an unusual view but he thinks most US shale oil producers can tolerate current oil prices.
They may make a small loss - he estimates the cost of production at about $40 a barrel for shale producers - but until the price falls to around $25 a barrel they will keep producing, Prof Stevens says.
Mr Gelder, however, does not think many US shale operators can continue production with prices below $50.
"There are some sweet spots in the US where some operators are able to keep production going at lower levels, but it's not economic at under $30," he says.
There is also another much bigger problem than the future of fracking in the US.
"An awful lot of oil producers can't survive at these levels," Mr Gelder says. "Venezuela, Algeria, Nigeria are facing serious financial problems and political unrest with people out of work and prices rising."
There is so much oversupply globally that countries are running out of storage. The US, which is thought to have among the largest storage facilities in the world, has nowhere left to keep it, says Prof Stevens. And it's not the only country.
"Storage is pretty much full and people are already talking about buying tankers as floating storage," he says. "But if supply continues to outstrip demand, then the only thing that you can do with the oil is sell it, which inevitably pushes the price down."
Mr Gelder takes a different view, suggesting it is not entirely clear whether US storage is completely full. "We know about US and European storage levels, but India and China are strategically storing oil for supply disruptions."
Mr Batstone-Carr adds: "Without a marked reduction in output nothing will change, and we have to wait until June for the next Opec meeting before we might see a reduction in quotas. And all of this comes at a time when economic activity is on the back foot, signalling there's not a lot of demand out there."
Professor Stevens warns that the collapse in prices is the result of oil being "freely traded for the first time since 1928".
That, he says, is because Saudi Arabia has decided not to cut production to support prices - unlike during previous oil gluts.
It is just over four years since the US imposed sanctions on oil imports from Iran, helping to bolster prices and allowing Saudi Arabia to grab market share that it is now very reluctant to surrender.
A report from Wood Mackenzie says that the Saudis would not cut output to make room for Iran, which could begin exporting oil in the next few weeks, according to some sources.
"Unless other producers such as Russia, Iran and Iraq agree to reduce their oil production, Saudi Arabia has consistently stated since the November 2014 Opec meeting, it has no intention of cutting its supply to support oil prices," the report says.
"The current ramping up in tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran only further confirms our view that Saudi Arabia is unlikely to cut its output to help Iran regain market share."
Prof Stevens says tensions in the Middle East are "as high as you could have them without having outright war. I don't think things have been as bad since 1918 and the fall of the Ottoman Empire."
Such uncertainty normally sparks an oil price spike. But apart from a rise over the New Year, prices have continued to slide.
Mr Gelder says most oil traders shrugged off the possibility of Saudi Arabia and Iran squaring up to one another in a way that could seriously affect supplies.
And with demand for oil weakening, especially in China and emerging markets, there seems little reason to expect that prices are set to rise any time soon.
It means lower petrol prices, although what you pay at the pump may not fully reflect the oil price drop. Bear in mind that excise duty and VAT make up nearly 60% of the price of a litre, and that isn't coming down any time soon.
Obviously if people are spending less at the forecourt, they have more money to allocate elsewhere, and that is a potential boost to the economy.
However, if petrol-driven cars cost less to run, that means there's less incentive to invest in alternatives, such as electric vehicles, so in the long run, low petrol prices could be bad for the environment.

A further 70 people are reported to have been injured in the blaze at an industrial complex in Tongi, north of the capital Dhaka.
Police said about 100 people were in the four-storey building at the time, including machine operators and guards.
The blast was caused by an explosion in the boiler room, at the start of the working day, officials say.
Firefighters are struggling to bring the blaze under control.
Local fire and civil defence chief Anis Ahamed said there were now 20 fire trucks working to extinguish the fire.
"We have removed eight bodies to the hospital and are trying to retrieve a further two. Once the fire is out we will be able to enter the damaged structure to see if there are more bodies," he said.
Relatives have been gathering outside the local hospital for news.
One man, Wridoy Barua, said he was looking for his brother. "I haven't heard from him since this morning. There is no news of him."
Low-cost manufacturing is a mainstay of Bangladesh's economy, but a series of industrial disasters in recent years have raised concerns about safety standards, the BBC's South Asia Editor Jill McGivering reports.
Tighter controls have been introduced, but dozens of workers still die every year, she notes.
Bangladesh factories: 'About 40% have major safety issues'
Can Bangladesh safety accord bring change?
At least 13 people died in a fire at a plastics factory Dhaka last year.
In 2012, 112 workers died in a fire at a factory just outside the capital.
The country suffered an even greater tragedy in 2013 when the Rana Plaza garment complex collapsed on the outskirts of Dhaka, killing 1,135 people. | At least 20 people have been killed in a huge fire that broke out at a packaging factory in Bangladesh. | 37327033 | [

The woman, in her 30s, and the child were abducted two men in Redcar, Teesside, at lunchtime on Friday.
They were taken about four miles to Longbeck Lane, near Yearby, where the woman was raped. They were made to get out of the car six hours later in another area of Redcar.
Police are investigating whether the attackers knew the victim.
Temporary Det Ch Insp Matt Murphy-King said it had been a "very traumatic ordeal for the victim and her child".
"Although we are investigating that the attackers may have known the victim, as a precaution I would encourage anyone in the local area to be extra vigilant," he said.
"There are a team of detectives working on this investigation and we have increased patrols in the local area."
Cleveland Police want to speak to anyone who saw a woman with a child and "in a distressed state" running across the road towards a wooded area near Kirkleatham Lane, where she got out of the car.
The force is also appealing for information about the two men in a dark-coloured saloon.
The driver, in his late 20s or early 30s, was white, with short, brown hair and a large build, police said. He had the word "love" tattooed across his knuckles.
The other man was white, in his early 20s, of shorter height and medium build, with brown hair. | A woman was raped in the middle of the day after being forced into a car with her toddler as they walked by the sea. | 39173159 | [

Thousands of children have been examined every 10 years since 1973.
A third of children in Wales were said to have good oral health overall, which compares to 39% in England.
Decay was found in 52% of 12 year olds and 63% of 15 year olds, a slight improvement on the 2003 survey.
But around 70% of them reported problems with their teeth.
Decay was found in 41% of five-year-old children in their primary teeth and in 55% of eight-year-old pupils, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre report.
Severe dental problems were worse among children from poorer backgrounds.
Around a half (47%) of five year olds could be said to have good oral health.
But that declined with age, to around a quarter of 15 year old children.
Other findings:
The last results in 2003 showed that oral health had improved greatly since the 1970s and 1980s.
This time, 12 and 15-year-olds were also asked to fill in a questionnaire on how they looked after their teeth.
In 2009 the Welsh government launched a national scheme to encourage better dental health amongst young children. Since then it has invested over £12m in the programme.
It also suggested the programme had led to a recent 6% drop in the proportion of five-year-olds experiencing dental decay.
Experts point out there could be several reason the health of children's teeth in Wales was still lagging behind those from other UK nations including socio-economic conditions.
That survey 10 years ago also showed a big drop in 15-year-olds with obvious decay from 94% in 1983 to 58%.
Scottish children are not included in the 2013 survey but Wales has better results than Northern Ireland, where 31% were judged to be in good oral health.
The Welsh Government said its own most recent monitoring survey showed a 6% drop in the proportion of five-year-olds with dental decay.
"However, there is more to do to improve the dental health of children in Wales especially since the vast majority of tooth decay is avoidable," said a spokesperson.
"Parents can help their children by reducing sugar intake and encouraging them to brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. "
It has also published its own survey of dental health to identify how much decay among five-years-olds is already present at the age of three. | Only a third of children in Wales have healthy teeth overall and this is lagging behind England, a major survey suggests. | 31911938 | [

A 2-1 defeat at Monaco sealed their exit from the competition as they paid the price for their woeful home form.
Consecutive defeats at their temporary Wembley home had left Spurs with no margin for error and they duly came up short against a classy Monaco side.
"We need to improve our mentality and be ready every game," Pochettino said.
"From the beginning of the season, I said our challenge was not physical, it was tactical - to manage your mind and to play on Saturday and then Tuesday or Wednesday."
Pochettino added he may need to add "more quality" to his squad.
"Our objective is to be competitive in the Premier League and Champions League but we need to show more," he said. "Maybe after today, we see we struggle a bit."
Tottenham were outclassed by Monaco at Stade Louis II, and only an inspired performance by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris prevented a bigger margin of defeat.
Djibril Sidibe's header early in the second half sparked a stunning sequence of three goals in just five minutes, with Harry Kane levelling from the penalty spot only for Monaco to score the winner just 39 seconds later through Thomas Lemar.
It was Spurs' third defeat in five Group E games, following reverses at Wembley against Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen, who have both now reached the last 16.
By Phil McNulty, BBC Sport chief football writer
All last season's hard work in the Premier League was carelessly tossed away in Tottenham's abysmal Champions League campaign, and the whole group phase has been a nightmare for manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs made Wembley their home as White Hart Lane's capacity is reduced by a rebuild, but the tenants have never settled. The curse of Wembley - the loss to Leverkusen was their sixth there in succession - was perhaps a convenient excuse, though, as the more uncomfortable truth was revealed in Monaco.
Pochettino took a huge share of the blame from Spurs fans on Tuesday, and rightly so after a mystifying team selection. The Argentine knew Monaco were dangerous. He knew defeat would be fatal to their hopes. Yet still chose to gamble recklessly.
Jan Vertonghen's presence was surely crucial, even more so with Toby Alderweireld injured, and yet he chose to leave the Belgian on the bench, pairing Kevin Wimmer with Eric Dier in central defence and picking Kieran Trippier ahead of Kyle Walker at right-back.
Spurs were hopelessly exposed defensively. Any hope of setting up a final Wembley hurrah against CSKA Moscow by getting a good result in France went up in smoke as they produced a display lacking in intensity, quality and resilience. It summed up neatly their efforts in the Champions League.
They have not been good enough and were not helped by a bad misjudgement from Pochettino.
Former England international Phil Neville, part of the BBC Radio 5 live commentary team, described Spurs' display as "the worst I've seen them play all season".
He added: "They were wide open at the back, disorganised in midfield. The Champions League has been a real learning curve and they've been found out.
"They've made naive decisions in the Champions League and Tottenham are being punished. Positions you take in the Premier League don't get punished. Here they do." | Tottenham's players lacked the quality and mentality required to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League, says boss Mauricio Pochettino. | 38073381 | [

But the Frenchman's situation remains "challenging" and the 25-year-old is in a critical but stable condition.
Earlier, Bianchi's father Philippe had described the situation as "desperate".
"Every time the telephone goes, we know it could be the hospital to tell us that Jules is dead," he said.
"He will not give up, I'm sure of that. I can see it. I believe it."
He added in an interview with Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport: "I speak to him. I know he can hear me.
"His doctors have told us that this is already a miracle, no-one has ever survived such a serious accident. But Jules won't give up.
"His trainer Andrea says that if there is one person who can make it happen with his will, it's Jules."
Philippe said the family had been touched by the show of support from other Formula 1 drivers, who gathered at the front of the grid before the Russian Grand Prix, arms around each other's shoulders, forming a 'circle of solidarity' for Jules.
"I've never seen anything like that," Philippe said. "It touched us very deeply. We thank every one of them. So many of them have been in touch, written to me; [Fernando] Alonso, [Jean-Eric] Vergne, [Felipe] Massa have given strong messages.
"[Lewis] Hamilton wrote me a beautiful email in which he says that if there is anything he can do, he's there. [Valentino] Rossi and [Marc] Marquez from Moto GP too."
Philippe also said he is using the accident of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, who continues his recovery at home after suffering a head injury in a skiing accident in December, as a reference point.
"I was very sad when he got hurt," Philippe said. "I kept wondering, like every one else 'Why don't they tell us more about how he is?'.
"But now I'm in the same position I understand. Everyone keeps asking me how Jules is but I can't reply, there is no answer. It's very serious but he's stable.
"One day he seems a bit better, other days a bit worse. The doctors don't say. The damage from the accident is very bad but we don't know how it will evolve.
"Even with Schumacher it took months to come out of the coma. [FIA president] Jean Todt said he hopes Michael will one day be able to have a normal life. One day I hope we can say the same about Jules."
He added: "It's tough. In a week the life of this family has been destroyed. What are we doing here? Living a nightmare in a place very far from home.
"But when Jules gets a bit better we can transfer him, maybe to Tokyo and things will be a bit easier. But who knows when that will happen. If it will happen. We have no certainties, we just have to wait." | Marussia's Jules Bianchi has faced "a number of medical challenges" after sustaining severe head injuries in a crash at the Japanese Grand Prix, his team and family said in a statement. | 29610752 | [

The Island's Conservative executive council voted against a motion of no confidence in Andrew Turner.
Opponents said Mr Turner caused "turmoil" over his personal arrangements and past expenses.
Mr Turner, who has been the island's MP for 14 years, said he was "very pleased" at the vote.
The Isle of Wight's Conservative Association Executive Council met for over three hours on Friday evening to debate whether they should "rescind" their choice of Mr Turner as the parliamentary candidate.
Mr Turner, who had a stroke in 2006 and now suffers from the speech disability known as aphasia, said he won over members of the executive by "telling the truth, as I always do."
"The truth is that we're busy working towards the election and we're very pleased about that," he said.
The motion which had been submitted by an association member, proposed: "The executive council can no longer have confidence in Mr Turner's candidature and requests him to stand down as the candidate with immediate effect."
Two Conservative Association trustees had written to Mr Turner saying he was "in thrall" and "totally dominated" by his parliamentary aide and former partner Carole Dennett. Concerns have also been raised over his past expenses claims.
Earlier this month, Mr Turner told the BBC: "In the end, I make the decisions".
By designating his home in Newport as a second home, Mr Turner was able to claim £103,000 in allowances in 2004.
The MP has said he "can't remember" what happened around that time, in terms of why he was spending more time in London.
After Friday night's meeting Chairman Allan Wells said party rules prevented him giving a breakdown of the vote about Mr Turner, but said it had "secured his future".
"It wasn't an easy meeting, there were lots of different opinions. There was no unpleasantness. The party will move forward in a united manner," he added. | The Isle of Wight's Conservative MP has survived an attempt by his own party to force him to stand down as a general election candidate. | 30965138 | [

Reports in the journal Nature show infusions of so-called broadly neutralising antibodies could suppress the amount of HIV in a patient's blood.
The approach uses clones of immune proteins taken from a rare individual who has natural control of the disease.
Scientists hope with further work this could bolster current treatments.
People naturally mount a defence against the virus by producing an army of protein based weapons - antibodies. But in most cases these are not powerful enough to defeat it.
The international research team harvested copies of unusually potent ones, capable of neutralising many different strains of HIV.
Patients given the highest concentrations were able to fight the virus for some time, dampening the replication of HIV in their blood.
The strength of this protection varied - in some it lasted more than four weeks.
In the journal the authors said: "Our data establish that passive infusion of single broadly neutralising antibodies can have profound effects on HIV viraemia in humans."
But because of the virus's ability to mutate rapidly, in some patients it was able to outwit the therapy by changing structure over time.
To overcome this scientists suggest using this treatment alongside current drugs or together with other antibodies.
Prof Michel Nussenzweig of the Rockefeller University in New York, told BBC News: "This is different to treatment out there already on two counts.
"First because it comes from a human - so it is natural in that respect.
"And secondly it opens up the possibility of giving the patient's own weakened immune system a jolt.
"One part of the antibody could act as a red flag - pointing out to the body where the virus is hiding and sending signals to kill it."
They are now exploring whether the infusion could shield people from getting the disease in the first place.
But he cautioned that studies into the antibody are still small and at an early stage.
"We have shown the approach is safe and effective.
"What this trial is telling us is that it is now time to look at the possibilities - from prevention and treatment to even cure," he said.
Commenting on the findings, Prof Vincent Piguet from Cardiff University, said: "This exciting novel study shows for the first time that antibodies may have a place in the line of therapies directed against HIV."
He described it as an "important development in the fight against HIV" but said the costs of antibody therapy and the emergence of resistance must be taken into account. | The first human trial of a new type of HIV therapy suggests it could be a promising weapon in the fight against the virus. | 32206951 | [

"I have been smoking three or four joints a day since I was 13," he says.
"But last year I decided to grow my own cannabis because the quality of the marijuana at the boca (hotspots where illegal drugs are sold) is too low, or it comes mixed with hard and dangerous drugs, like cocaine paste," he says.
Every morning Cristian checks his plants have the appropriate amount of light, fertiliser and insecticide.
But above all, he always makes sure they are well hidden from the police and out of the neighbours' sight.
For decades, smoking cannabis has been legal in this South American country.
Seeing a group of youngsters sharing a joint in the park has become a familiar scene, but growing and buying the drug have remained illegal.
But that is about to change.
Uruguay is set to become the first nation in the world to regulate the production, sale and consumption of cannabis after a new law was passed by the country's senate on Tuesday.
Once the president signs the bill, the state will control the production and sale of cannabis.
For Cristian, this will mean that instead of hiding his plants from the police, the authorities will supervise them to make sure he complies with the new rules.
A central body, the National Institute for Cannabis Regulation, will provide those who want to grow marijuana with seeds and ensure that their crop does not exceed the legal limit of 480g (1lb 1oz) per year.
Cristian welcomes the change.
"I think it was about time that cannabis became legal. Police should worry about fighting crime and drug trafficking, not me," he says.
The man behind the law is 78-year-old former guerrilla fighter turned President Jose Mujica.
The president says he opposes drug consumption but wants to take the multi-million-dollar cannabis business away from the drug cartels.
"This won't be a weed-for-all country," Mr Mujica assured critics.
Under the new law, buyers will have to officially register - something only residents can do, not tourists.
There will also be a strict 40g/month limit on those who grow the drug or buy it at licensed pharmacies.
"What I am doing is offering consumers a legal amount," President Mujica explains.
The bill goes several steps further than existing legislation in the Netherlands, where growing cannabis is not legal, although the authorities turn a blind eye to those who grow some plants at home.
It bears some similarities to drug laws in the US states of Colorado and Washington, where the sale of cannabis for medicinal or recreational use was made legal in 2012.
But Uruguay is the first nation state to regulate the production, distribution and sale of the drug.
The country, which has a population of fewer than 3.5 million people, has so far been spared much of the drug-related violence that other Latin American countries have suffered from, but officials say it is time to tackle drug gangs before they get too strong.
"Last year, 82 people were killed in drug-related violence in Uruguay. We are starting to see episodes of criminal score-settling, groups of hitmen ... but we are not aware of anybody who died because of marijuana consumption," explains the head of the National Drug Agency, Julio Calzada.
Other Latin American countries are watching Uruguay's experiment with interest.
Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina, whose country is suffering from a wave of violence blamed on drug cartels, has described his Uruguayan counterpart as "a visionary".
Others view Mr Mujica's experiment with scepticism.
Mexican Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Meade recently warned that "unilateral policies" would not solve the problem, and asked for a global discussion about drug policy.
Uruguay's neighbour Brazil sent a delegation to Montevideo earlier this year to express its concern about the potential impact of the new law.
But Mr Calzada insists Uruguay's neighbours will benefit as well as its own citizens.
"Our commitment to other countries is that our legal marijuana will not end up smuggled into their territory. This will not happen," he assures foreign sceptics.
But the law is also facing criticism at home. According to recent polls, 60% of Uruguayans oppose the bill.
Congresswoman Veronica Alonso of the National Party is one of them.
"This law does not solve the real problems. If the government really wants to fight insecurity it should tackle the places where illegal drugs are sold," she told the BBC.
"If it is a matter of public health, then it should work to prevent the consumption of other drugs, like tobacco or alcohol," she argues.
Ms Alonso fears that the law will encourage drug consumption, especially among young Uruguayans.
"There will be a higher availability of marijuana and at the same time the perception of marijuana as a dangerous drug will be lower. Therefore consumption will grow," she says.
"This is going to cause us a lot of problems, especially from a social and medical point of view, and the State is not ready to face them."
Whether good or bad, the effects of the government's pioneering move are certain to be scrutinised and analysed by both opponents and supporters of cannabis legalisation not just in Uruguay but across the world. | Cristian, a 32-year-old blacksmith from Uruguay, grows five cannabis plants with care and dedication in the back yard of his workshop on the outskirts of Montevideo. | 25315215 | [

Prof Les Mayhew said the difference between the sexes peaked at nearly six years in the 1970s.
Life expectancy is going up all round, but the rates for men are increasing faster.
Plummeting smoking rates in men are thought to explain a lot of the change.
Prof Mayhew, a professor of statistics at Cass Business School, analysed life expectancy data in England and Wales. He was working out how long 30-year-olds could expect to live.
His findings show men languishing far behind for decades, but now starting to get closer to women. If current trends continue, Prof Mayhew predicts, both sexes could, on average, be living to the age of 87 in 2030.
He said: "What's interesting at the moment is that in the last 20 years or so, male life expectancy at 30 has jumped by about six years and if it jumps by the same amount in the next 20 years it will converge with female life expectancy."
The reason could be down to men living a healthier lifestyle. "One of the main reasons, I think, is the trend in the prevalence of smoking. Smoking took off after 1920 in the male population and at its high about 80% of males smoked.
"This was reflected in more divergence in the life expectancy, so by the time you get to about 1970 it was at its peak - the difference in life expectancy was about 5.7 years."
Other factors are thought to be safer, more office-based, jobs. Millions of men used to work in hazardous occupations such as coal mining. Healthcare has meant more men live longer as well. People with heart disease, which is more common in men, can expect to live much longer than they did a few decades ago.
By contrast, women started smoking later than men.
, but are falling fast in men.
A boy and a girl born on the same day will still not have the same life expectancies, as the study looked only at people who had already reached 30. Boys are more likely to die in their first year of life and are more likely to take up dangerous sports or be involved in fatal accidents.
It means that women could still have the edge for some time to come.
Prof David Leon, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "In virtually all countries in the world, women do have a slight advantage."
However, he said the gap was definitely closing in some countries.
Countries with lower levels of life expectancy, such as in sub-Saharan Africa, showed very little difference between the genders. This was due to the prevalence of infectious diseases which "are not picky about men and women", he said.
In countries that had defeated most infectious diseases, such as in Eastern Europe, "there is a much bigger difference, mostly dominated by lifestyle factors".
At one point in the 1990s, the gap between life expectancies in Russia reached 13 years. Prof Leon said it was an "absolutely massive" difference in a "very gendered society".
In his third class of countries, such as the UK, the gap in life expectancies is starting to narrow.
He said: "Men are getting a bit better behaved and women are adopting male life expectancies." | The gap between male and female life expectancy is closing and men could catch up by 2030, according to an adviser for the Office for National Statistics. | 17811732 | [

The company said Lancaster's Caton Road substation went offline at 11:00 BST, leaving parts of the city and nearby Morecambe and Carnforth without power.
Power supplies resumed at 16:30 BST in the remaining 10,000 properties after 53,000 had theirs restored earlier.
The firm said it was not yet known what caused the outage and thanked customers for their "support".
A flood at the facility during Storm Desmond in 2015 left 55,000 without power.
The outage resulted in travel problems, with many traffic lights not working, and caused disruption to schools, universities and businesses.
Lancaster town hall closed while the outage was dealt with. It later reopened but Lancaster City Council tweeted it "can only deal with basic enquiries".
Salt Ayre Leisure Centre in Lancaster was closed and it only accepted cash payments when it reopened.
Lancaster University was affected and tweeted wi-fi is available outside the chaplaincy centre, security lodge and information systems services.
The university's student union sent a tweet telling students who were facing exams to turn up as usual.
St John's Hospice and Lancaster Cathedral both tweeted that power had returned. | An estimated 63,000 properties in north Lancashire were hit by a power cut, Electricity North West has said. | 40354917 | [

No official announcement has yet been made by either club.
As part of the deal to sell 24-year-old De Gea to Real, United were planning to bring Costa Rica keeper Keylor Navas, 28, in the opposite direction.
There is no precedent for Spanish clubs being given additional time to conclude transfers as there is in England.
Blame for the failure to complete the deal is already being apportioned.
Reports in Spain claim United were responsible for the deal collapsing.
The line is they did not get their paperwork to Spanish Football Federation headquarters until a minute after the 23:00 BST deadline.
United say they have a receipt that proves they submitted the relevant documents in time.
It remains to be seen whether Real will appeal to world governing body Fifa, which is responsible for sanctioning international transfers.
The internet naturally had its say...
And the tweets only intensified once stories of a technical glitch at the Madrid end began to surface...
If Real Madrid don't appeal, or do appeal and fail to push the transfer through, he'll be back at Old Trafford competing for a place in the United starting line-up.
Sergio Romero, the Argentina number one, has started all six of United's games so far this season, with Sam Johnstone on the substitutes' bench.
The Red Devils still have Victor Valdes after his move to Besiktas collapsed, but he has fallen out with manager Louis van Gaal.
De Gea, who has not played for United this season, must first turn his attention to international duty with Spain.
They have two Euro 2016 qualifying matches to negotiate, at home to Slovakia on 5 September and in Macedonia on 8 September.
They seem pretty relaxed about it all.
If De Gea stays, they have a world-class keeper to call on. If he goes, the Navas deal could still happen.
Unlike Real, United have a few more hours to do their business.
The transfer window may be shut in Spain, but it remains open until 18:00 BST on Tuesday for Premier League clubs.
Monday was mostly about letting players leave...
But the move that caught a lot of people by surprise involved a French teenager named Anthony Martial.
It appears United are willing to pay as much as £36m to get him.
A 19-year-old Monaco striker with plenty of potential. He has even been likened to Thierry Henry.
Nevertheless, £36m is a lot to pay for a teenager.
According to French football journalist Philippe Auclair, the size of the transfer fee has left "people speechless in France".
"He's got good technique, good skills, he's a good finisher, but he is still a raw product," added Auclair. "We don't know how far he can go." | David De Gea's £29m move from Manchester United to Real Madrid has collapsed because the necessary paperwork was not submitted in time. | 34108093 | [

The hosts declared on their overnight score of 244-5, setting Notts a victory target of 386 in 96 overs at The Oval.
Notts were 102-2 at lunch but collapsed spectacularly during the afternoon session, losing their final eight wickets in 53 minutes for just 38 runs.
Surrey spinner Zafar Ansari, who removed Jake Libby and Riki Wessels with successive balls, ended with 6-36.
Ansari's devastating spell meant Brendan Taylor's 68 from 79 deliveries was in vain for Notts, who are now level on points with Surrey in Division One.
The win also lifted Surrey off the bottom of the table above Hampshire.
Notts had looked in a good position while Taylor and opener Jake Libby, who made a patient 33 from 115 balls, were at the crease sharing a third-wicket stand of 90.
But the swift departures of Libby and Wessels started the procession of Notts wickets, with only Dan Christian (11) reaching double figures among their final seven batsmen.
Surrey captain Gareth Batty told BBC Radio London: "We've missed key moments in games at times, and we didn't miss them in this game.
"Everybody contributed and it ended up being a very good win against a very good Notts team.
"Traditionally, we're a better team in the second half of the season than in the first half. Hopefully we go back to type, play good cricket for the rest of the season and get a few more wins under the belt." | Surrey wrapped up their first Championship win of 2016, beating Nottinghamshire by 228 runs. | 36592110 | [

Mr Trump called off a rally on Friday night in Chicago after clashes between protesters and supporters.
The Republican who has won a string of primary contests has blamed the supporters of Democrat Bernie Sanders and denied responsibility for the violence. On Sunday, he said his campaign is "not provoking" and "wants peace".
He said no one gets hurt at his "love-fest" rallies.
A Quinnipiac University poll shows that Mr Trump is leading the way in Florida and tied with Ohio Governor John Kasich in Ohio ahead of crucial state primaries on Tuesday.
Here's what people are saying about Mr Trump and the violence at his rallies:
What Trump says about protesters at his rallies
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders: Called Mr Trump a "pathological liar" after he said he had sent protesters to disrupt his rallies.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio: Said it is "harder every day to justify" backing Mr Trump should he win the Republican nomination and said conservatism is not about "how angry can you get, how offensive you can be, how loud you can speak".
Ohio Governor John Kasich: Asked his staff to make a list of Mr Trump's quotes promoting violence at his rallies and that Mr Trump's "toxic" tone makes it even more important for him to win his home state in the primary election on Tuesday.
Senator Ted Cruz: Said that the culture of violence is Mr Trump's fault, telling reporters that "any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign".
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio: Tweeted that there is no question Mr Trump a racist.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton: Said Mr Trump's campaign consists of "hate" and "fear".
President Barack Obama: Said over the weekend: "Our leaders - those who aspire to be our leaders - should be trying to bring us together and not turning us against one another and speak out against violence and reject efforts to spread fear or turn us against one another. And if they refuse to do that, they don't deserve our support."
House Speaker Paul Ryan: Said the violence at Mr Trump's rallies is "very concerning" and that candidates must take "responsibility for the environment" at their events
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Republican candidate: Told NBC's Today programme that the violence could get worse, placing blame on the protesters, saying "I think certainly if the protesters continue with their... tactics, there is a real possibility of escalation".
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee: Defended Mr Trump, condemning the Chicago protesters. "I think it's ridiculous to blame Trump for a bunch of thugs out on the street," he told the Huffington Post.
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter:Tweeted that "left-wing fascists violently shut down a peaceful Trump rally last night & Cruz + the entire media took the animals' side" | Presidential candidates for the 2016 race and other politicians are speaking out against Donald Trump after a string of violence at his rallies. | 35790460 | [

Ms Suu Kyi failed to persuade the military to allow a clause barring her from the presidency to be overruled.
Under the clause she cannot be leader as her sons are British, not Burmese.
But she has vowed to lead from the sidelines instead. The candidate thought most likely to become president, Htin Kyaw, is a close aide.
The NLD, which won a landslide in November, has named Htin Kyaw as its lower house nominee for vice president, and Henry Van Thio, an MP from the Chin ethnic minority, as its upper house nominee.
Both houses will choose between the NLD's candidates and those from other parties, but because the NLD holds a majority in both houses, its candidates are likely to be chosen.
The winner from each house will then enter a second vote to decide the president of the country. A military nominated candidate will also compete in this vote.
The two losing candidates will become vice-presidents. It is not clear when the votes will take place.
Correspondents say Htin Kyaw is almost certain to be elected president by the NLD-controlled parliament.

She tried right to the last. But there was no deal. Despite a huge win in the election, Aung San Suu Kyi failed to convince the army that her destiny was the presidency.
Clause 59F of the constitution which bars her because her sons have British not Burmese passports remains in place, and she has now chosen someone else.
It's Htin Kyaw, who she's known all her life. He's a committed member of the party and was by her side when Ms Suu Kyi was released from house arrest in 2010.
His most important quality may be the ability to take orders. Aung San Suu Kyi has made it clear that though she does not have the title - she will still be in charge.
The NLD won the majority of non-military seats available in parliament in last year's historic general election, although the army - which still controls a quarter of all parliamentary seats and key security ministries - remains a significant force in Burmese politics.
The new government will take power on 1 April - the first freely elected government after more than 50 years of military rule and then five years of military-backed civilian government. | Myanmar's National League for Democracy (NLD) has named its candidates to be president, confirming that its leader Aung San Suu Kyi is not a contender. | 35770535 | [

Sam Gould said the proportional representation element of the assembly electoral system would give UKIP "six or seven" seats, if it repeated its general election performance.
But he told BBC Wales the party was "definitely" capable of winning more.
UKIP got more than 200,000 votes in Wales in May, more than both Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats.
It came second in six of the 40 Welsh seats but, under the first past the post system, did not win any.
The closest it came was Mr Gould in Caerphilly, who was beaten by Labour's Wayne David by around 10,000 votes.
UKIP's campaign in Wales also had several problems, including one of its candidates threatening to sue the party for libel, and its regional organiser stepping down.
The party believes the regional list system - whereby 20 of the 60 AMs are elected under a form of proportional representation - gives it a strong chance at the assembly election.
Former Conservative and UKIP MP Mark Reckless has been given the job of developing the manifesto and it is planning to appoint spokespeople on each of the main devolved policy areas.
Local branches will select the 40 constituency candidates by the autumn, while regional list candidates will be picked by a central committee.
Mr Gould said: "The (general election) performance was absolutely fantastic and we are so pleased with this foundation ready for next year's assembly election.
"If we were to run the same number of votes across Wales we would get seven AMs under the list system.
"So we're very confident of breaking through next year in the assembly election.

He added: "Mark Reckless will be coming to Wales to work with a Wales-based policy team to help us turn the ideas we have from our local grassroots Welsh representatives into a reality in our manifesto."

The 58-year-old school principal from Dublin won 144 out of a possible 278 votes and was 98 ahead of his nearest rivals Sean Walsh and Frank Burke.
Horan will take over from current president Aogan O Fearghail in 2018.
"Aogan is the president for the next 12 months so I'll support him and learn from him as best I can," said Horan at Croke Park.
The other candidates for the post were Martin Skelly with 22 votes while 20 went to Robert Frost.
This weekend's annual congress will be dominated by new championship proposals in football and hurling.
The plans put forward by GAA director general Paraic Duffy include completing the All-Ireland Senior Championships by the end of August.
Also included is a new round-robin format for the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals, which would mean more games.
This proposal has proved particularly controversial in recent weeks.
Both the Gaelic Players' Association and recently formed Club Players' Association have come out against Duffy's plans, although not necessarily for the same reasons.
Ostensibly, the main reason for these mooted changes is to try and ensure more regular games for club players but there is a certain amount of bafflement as to how this can be squared with the motion to have a round-robin stage in the All-Ireland Football quarter-finals.
The new club players' body has been angered after the GAA's top brass refused to grant it a speaking platform at the Croke Park gathering.
However, that may change at further annual gatherings of GAA delegates if a motion for the club players' body to be officially recognised is passed in Dublin.
All the indications are that the votes on both the so-called new 'Super Eight football round' and the proposal to bring forward the All-Ireland finals will be exceptionally close, with a two-thirds' majority required for the format changes to be tried for a three-year period.
To make matters even complicated, congress will also hear a number of motions calls from the two-thirds majority to be scrapped, with one call suggestion a simple majority and another calling for the figure to be lowered to 60%.
Inevitably, those motions will require a two-thirds majority to be passed.
Going into the weekend, Croke Park's desire for replays to be scrapped - in favour of extra-time - in all championship games bar provincial and All-Ireland finals looks likely to be comfortably passed.
At last year's congress, motions to move All-Ireland Finals to earlier in the year and scrap replays were both defeated, although the finals proposal fell narrowly short after getting support from 60.8% of delegates. | John Horan easily won the vote at Congress on Friday night to become the GAA president-elect. | 39084080 | [

Alan Wright and his wife visited Sissinghurst Castle Garden in Cranbrook in September 2015.
He said a man they spoke to took their photo in the gardens. Mrs Wright, from Kent, died three months later.
A tweet by the National Trust, which runs the site, has been shared more than 600 times. A trust spokesman said it was a "heartbreaking story".
He added: "With luck the [person] who took the photograph at Sissinghurst Castle Garden will see Alan's letter and come forward."
Mr Wright wrote to the trust's magazine for help in tracking down the mystery photographer.
He wrote: "I have realised this would have been the last photo ever taken of her. I would dearly love to obtain a copy." | A widower is appealing to help find the stranger who took the last photo of him and his wife together before she died. | 39938168 | [

Noel Conway, 67, who was diagnosed in November 2014 and is not expected to live beyond 12 months, said he should be free to determine his own death.
Mr Conway, from Shrewsbury, attended court in a wheelchair and on a ventilator.
The case is the first heard since the law was challenged in 2014 and 2015.
Right-to-die campaigners lost an appeal to the Supreme Court in 2014 and this was followed by a debate in Parliament which concluded with MPs rejecting an attempt to introduce assisted dying in 2015.
The campaign group Dignity in Dying is supporting the legal bid.
Mr Conway wants permission to bring a judicial review which could result in terminally ill adults who meet strict criteria making their own decisions about ending their lives.
Richard Gordon QC, who is representing Mr Conway, said: "He wishes to die in the country in which he was born and has lived for his whole adult life.
"The choices facing him therefore are stark: to seek to bring about his own death now whilst he is physically able to do but before he is ready; or await death with no control over when and how it comes."
He said that Mr Conway contended that these choices, forced upon him by the provisions of the criminal law, violated his human rights.
He wants a declaration that the Suicide Act 1961 is incompatible with Article 8, of the Human Rights Act 1998 which relates to respect for private and family life, and Article 14, which protects from discrimination.
If the judges rule that Mr Conway has an arguable case, they will be asked to direct that it is heard as quickly as possible.
Lord Justice Burnett, sitting in London with Mr Justice Charles and Mr Justice Jay, said at the start of the hearing, which is due to last half a day, that they were minded to reserve their decision "only for a relatively short time".
Before his illness, Mr Conway, who is married, with a son, daughter, stepson and grandchild, was fit and active, enjoying hiking, cycling and travelling.
His condition means that whilst he retains full mental capacity, his ability to move, dress, eat and deal with personal care independently has diminished considerably.
At present there is a blanket prohibition on providing a person with assistance to die.
Mr Conway has said: "I feel very strongly that it is a dying person's right to determine how they die and when they die. The current law denies me this right.
"Instead, I am being condemned to unbearable suffering in my final months. I may die by suffocation or choking, or I could become completely unable to move or communicate.
"The only way for me to have some control is to refuse use of my ventilator, but there is no telling how long it would take for me to die, or whether my suffering could be managed.
"I'm going to die anyway. It's a question of whether I die with or without suffering and on my own terms or not.
"I'm bringing this case not just for me, but for all others facing terminal illness who want and deserve to have the option of a safe, dignified assisted death."
But a spokesman for the Care Not Killing Alliance said that changing the law would send out the wrong message.
"Changing the law would send out a negative message about those who are terminally ill, disabled or old and might pressure some into ending their lives because they feel that they have become either a financial or care burden.
"The current law exists to protect those who have no voice against exploitation and coercion.
"It acts as a powerful deterrent to would-be abusers and does not need changing."
A case brought by Tony Nicklinson - who suffered from paralysis after a stroke - was ultimately dismissed in 2014 by the Supreme Court, which stated it was important that Parliament debated the issues before any decision was made by the courts.
Mr Conway's case is different in that he has a terminal illness and his legal team are setting out a strict criteria and clear potential safeguards to protect vulnerable people from any abuse of the system. | A man with terminal motor neurone disease has told the High Court he faces an "unbearable death" because of the law on assisted dying. | 39341410 | [

Police now believe that the 26-year-old man from Rochdale took a crystallised and unrefined version of the drug Spice.
Ch Supt Neil Evans, described the development as "extremely worrying".
Ten people were admitted to hospital after taking the drug over the weekend, with four kept in intensive care.
A police spokesman said they were hospitalised after taking what was thought to be a new form of MDMA, known as "pink champagne".
But he added: "It is now believed that this substance was in fact a synthetic cannabinoid, like 'Spice', however it was sold as MDMA."
Ch Supt Neil Evans said: "This is the first time we have seen 'Spice' in crystallised, and much more potent and unrefined form and it's now being mistakenly taken as MDMA."
He added: "Anyone thinking of taking MDMA must seriously consider what they are doing.
"You may feel that you know and accept the risks of taking MDMA, but you never know what you are actually taking and the reaction your body could have to it."
A 26-year-old man, held on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs, was released while inquiries continue. | A man thought to have been killed by the drug MDMA had taken a "much more potent version" of Spice, Greater Manchester Police has said. | 40446685 | [

Amy Pope and Sam Paterson are the first recruits to the Holywell monastic community on an estate in Abergavenny.
Father Mark Soady, vicar of St Mary's Priory Church, will be their prior, leading outreach work in the town.
He said there had been "amazement" that young people were prepared to give up their lives to carry out good works.
The two recruits will initially spend a year living in a house on the estate being supported by the church while they take part in daily services and work with local people.
By day they will arrange activities such as bingo for pensioners, and by night they will take to the streets to talk to young people hanging out in groups.
Father Mark said the inspiration for a modern-day monastic order came from the history of St Mary's, which is on the site of a Benedictine priory which stood from 1087 until 1537 when the monasteries were dissolved.
"When I arrived here two and a half years ago I looked at ways that the Benedictine Rule of Life could pervade the life of the parish on a day-to-day basis," he said.
"My colleagues and I came up with the idea of a new monastic community in the spirit of St Benedict."
Father Mark added: "Abergavenny is a pretty rich town but we have some of the poorest wards in Monmouthshire.
"This juxtaposition of wealth and poverty makes the social divisions more marked.
"We're hoping our work will reduce these divisions."
Unlike the monks of old, the young recruits will not be expected to join the monastic order long-term, but will be given the opportunity to sign up for a second year or seek similar duties elsewhere.
Mr Paterson, 21, is from the Abergavenny area, while Ms Pope, 23, from Watford, Hertfordshire, came to south Wales after answering an advert in the Church Times.
Ms Pope said the role was "a great honour and privilege".
"It's been really exciting so far - Sam and I are just finding our feet," she said.
"We've got involved in a drop-in centre for young people, a parent-and-toddler group and we're hoping to do some work with elderly people.
"I'm hoping that if it all goes well I'll be part of the Holywell community for two years and then go onto ordination training - I'd like to work in mental health." | A new breed of modern-day monks is reviving a 1,000-year-old tradition by setting up a Church in Wales "monastery" in a Monmouthshire town. | 29210082 | [

Lewis Hamilton was the fastest of the silver cars, despite a mistake-strewn final lap on a weekend when penalties mean he will start from the back.
Team-mate Nico Rosberg, who has a golden opportunity to close the title race deficit, was 0.107secs slower.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was second fastest, followed by Sebastian Vettel.
Mercedes have so far not shown their true pace on an unusual weekend that has been dominated by Hamilton's engine penalties - which amount to 55 places following three engine changes, meaning he will start right at the back - and problems with tyre choices caused by the unexpected heat.
Spa-Francorchamps is more usually associated with unpredictable and often wet weather, even in August, but this weekend has been baking, with temperatures in the low 30Cs.
That means the tyres are suffering - a problem exacerbated by the fact that greater freedom for the teams in tyre choices than previously this year has meant they have leaned towards softer tyres.
The super-soft tyre has never been brought to Spa before, because of the demands of its many long, high-speed corners.
But Ferrari picked seven sets of the tyre out of their available 13, and only one of the more durable medium.
Mercedes have gone the other way, splitting their choices much more evenly between the super-soft, soft and medium.
That meant, with only four sets of the super-soft available, Mercedes did not use it at all until the final minutes of the session.
It was not immediately clear why Rosberg was 0.768secs off Raikkonen's pace, but Hamilton had a lift in the fast double-left hander at Pouhon and then made mistakes at flat-out Blanchimont and on the entry to the final chicane.
Mercedes executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe told BBC Sport that the team were likely to give Hamilton only the least possible running in qualifying - probably meaning only one run in the first session - because of his penalties.
"We'll probably just run the minimum necessary in qualifying," Lowe said. "We want to give Lewis the strongest possible race from the back and with the maximum number of tyres."
Rosberg, despite his lack of headline pace in the final practice session, is expected to take pole, and there will be a tight battle between Red Bull and Ferrari for best of the rest.
Ricciardo's team-mate Max Verstappen, who was fastest on Friday afternoon, did only two laps on Saturday before being hit by a gearbox problem.
Hamilton is not the only driver with engine penalties.
McLaren's Fernando Alonso, who was 11th fastest and two places ahead of team-mate Jenson Button in the session, has a 35-place penalty and Sauber's Marcus Ericsson 10 places.

A photo was posted by BBC Scotland's North East Twitter account on Sunday evening after the sight was spotted in Aberdeen, and followers joined in.
One, taken at Rickarton, looked like something from a sci-fi film.
BBC Scotland weather presenter Judith Ralston said they were lens-shaped lenticular clouds.
She added that rain or light snow above the atmosphere would have added the rainbow reflections.
She said: "There are some lovely colours. Lenticular clouds can be mistaken for UFOs. These are great pictures."
One response to Trish Macfarlane's image on Twitter taken at Rickarton, from Althea Tindell, said: "UFO or not those pics are fantastic!"
They are properly known as Altocumulus Lenticularis.

Glamorgan were beaten in under two-and-a-half days against Worcestershire having failed to last two days in their opening loss at Northamptonshire.
Rudolph says discussions have been held with the senior players and head coach Robert Croft.
"We've had some good, strong conversations," Rudolph said.
"I think it's important for the senior players in the team to stand up.
"We have a good blend of senior players and a lot of young Welsh talent in the likes of Aneurin Donald and Kiran Carlson.
"We've refocused and we're ready for Friday's game against Leicestershire and it will be nice to start off with a win.
"I've always been of the belief that in County Cricket as soon as you can gather some momentum you've got to try and carry it on for a long time."
Glamorgan were beaten by an innings and 22 runs by Northants in their opening game of the season before an eight-wicket loss at home to Worcestershire.
Despite his side's poor start to the season, South African Rudolph still believes Glamorgan can make an impression in Division Two of the County Championship.
"If you look at last season we started with three losses and during the season there were about three or four games where we just missed out on winning opportunities," Rudolph told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"If that had happened we would still have finished in the top three or four so it's not all doom and gloom at the moment." | Captain Jacques Rudolph has said Glamorgan's senior players need to "stand up" after the county's poor start to the Championship season. | 39640021 | [

Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) visited the Stranraer site in November last year and again in January.
Despite an action plan being put in place, they said they failed to find "significant improvements".
NHS Dumfries and Galloway has apologised for being "unable to demonstrate best standards of care".
The inspections were carried out as part of a programme to check on standards of care for older people requiring acute treatment in Scotland.
Jacqui Macrae, head of quality of care with HIS, said inspectors had identified issues where patient documentation had not been completed or had not been completed correctly.
"Therefore, we were not assured that the care being given was appropriate," she added.
"We were also concerned about leadership and management, and found a lack of willingness from medical staff to ensure that patients had the capacity to consent to treatment."
She said they had asked NHS Dumfries and Galloway to conduct an internal review of all patients in one of the hospital's wards.
"We also asked NHS Dumfries and Galloway to produce an action plan, detailing how immediate improvements would be made to address to issues identified," she said.
However, a return visit failed to identify the improvements hoped for.
"As such, we escalated our concerns to senior management within NHS Dumfries and Galloway," said Ms Macrae.
"We also escalated our concerns to the Scottish government.
"This inspection resulted in 26 areas for improvement which NHS Dumfries and Galloway must address as a matter of priority."
NHS Dumfries and Galloway's Chief Executive Jeff Ace apologised for the situation.
"Whilst it is reassuring that the inspectors witnessed compassionate and skilled interactions between staff and patients, it is clear that we have much work to do to improve the consistency of record keeping, care planning and delivery of best care practice to patients with degrees of confusion or dementia," he said.
"NHS Dumfries and Galloway has accepted all the recommendations contained within the report.
"Of these recommendations 15 were prioritised and had actions taken immediately with the remainder aiming for completion before the end of March 2015.
"We have taken this report extremely seriously and are committed to continuing to work both with local staff and with Scottish government advisors to ensure that we can demonstrate rapid and sustained improvement."
Dumfries and Galloway MP Russell Brown said the report was "utterly damning".
"I think what is so frustrating is the fact that even when the inspectorate carried out a follow up visit a couple of months later there didn't appear to be any significant improvement," he said.
"I am pleased the NHS have apologised and immediately accepted the findings.
"But what patients and their families want to see is action and improvements."

Some of those residents had only just returned to their homes after last week's eruptions.
The latest eruption was less powerful, but sent a large plume of dark grey smoke and ash rising from the crater.
Calbuco surprised residents of the Los Lagos region last week by bursting into life after decades of inactivity.
The National Geology and Mines Service issued a red alert after Thursday's eruption, warning that the volcano remained unstable.
On Friday, residents were warned that heavy rain could mix with ash and rock to produce deadly volcanic mudflows.
These "lahars" can slide down volcanoes like avalanches.
The BBC's Gideon Long in Santiago says that whereas the ash last week was blown in a north-easterly direction, this time it is drifting south-east over the town of Cochamo.
The town has been blanketed in a cloud of smoke and ash.
Calbuco is one of the most active volcanoes in Chile, having erupted in 1961 and 1972, and many times before that.
Last week's eruptions caused the cancellation of flights to and within Chile, and forced farmers in the area to evacuate their livestock. | Chile's Calbuco volcano has erupted for the third time in eight days, leading the government to order the evacuation of 2,500 people. | 32544075 | [

The clashes came hours after Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc apologised for the violent police response to initial protests last week.
Mr Arinc is due to hold a meeting with activists later on Wednesday.
Protests over the demolition of a park in Istanbul have grown into days of unrest across the country.
Mr Arinc apologised to protesters injured in demonstrations opposing the redevelopment of Gezi Park.
He said the original protests were "just and legitimate" and the "excessive use of force" by police was wrong.
By Jeremy BowenBBC Middle East editor, Istanbul
Could protests be Erdogan's undoing?
Ahead of a proposed meeting in Istanbul, activists issued a list of demands, including the end of plans to demolish the park, a ban on tear gas, the release of arrested protesters and the resignation of top officials blamed for the protest crackdown, the BBC's Mark Lowen in Istanbul reports.
The atmosphere on Istanbul's Taksim Square on Tuesday evening was almost celebratory as a huge crowd of people ranging from football fans to well-heeled professionals gathered, the BBC's Paul Mason reported.
People have been chanting "Have you heard us?" in the hope the government is listening to their demands.
But later, police fired tear gas, water cannon and smoke grenades as they tried to disperse protesters.
In the city of Izmir, there was a festive atmosphere and police kept their distance, though some young protesters earlier smashed security cameras and threw bricks, the BBC's Quentin Sommerville reports.
Also in Izmir, state-run Anatolia news agency reported that police had arrested 25 people for tweeting "misinformation".
An official from the opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Ali Engin, told Anatolia they were being held for "calling on people to protest".
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that Twitter was a "menace" being used to spread "lies".
In his comments Mr Arinc called for the demonstrations to end, saying they had been taken over by "terrorist elements".
Mr Arinc's conciliatory remarks contrast with the tougher line taken by Mr Erdogan, who says the protests are undemocratic.
Speaking during a trip to Morocco, Mr Erdogan told reporters: "On my return from this visit, the problems will be solved."
Meanwhile Turkish television station NTV has apologised for failing to cover the initial protests.
The chief executive of the conglomerate that owns NTV, Cem Aydin of Dogus, said criticism of the channel was "fair to a large extent".
"Our audience feels like they were betrayed," he said after a meeting with staff, some of whom resigned in protest at the lack of coverage.
Social media plays major role
Protesters have turned to social media to spread their message and coordinate demonstrations, the BBC's Sophie Hutchinson reports from Istanbul.
Earlier on Tuesday the left-wing Kesk trade union confederation, representing some 240,000 public sector workers, began a two-day strike in support of the protests and accused the government of committing "state terror".
Another trade union confederation, Disk, has said it will join the strike on Wednesday.
The protests began on 28 May over plans to redevelop Gezi Park near Taksim Square in Istanbul.
They soon mushroomed, engulfing several cities and including political demands.
Plans for Gezi Park in detail
Chaos and camaraderie
Officials have confirmed two deaths in the protests. One man died after being shot by an unidentified gunman in the southern city of Antakya.
Another died after being hit by a car that ploughed into a crowd in Istanbul.
The Turkish Human Rights Association, an NGO, said more than 2,800 protesters had been injured across the country, many of them seriously, and that 791 had been detained, of whom "around 500" have since been released.
Mr Arinc said that 244 police officers and 64 protesters had been injured, and more than 70m Turkish lira (£24m; $37m) worth of public damage had been caused.
Protesters accuse the Turkish government of becoming increasingly authoritarian.
Mr Erdogan is still the most popular politician in the country, but he is discovering that a ruling style that his opponents say is autocratic has its limits, the BBC's Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen reports from Istanbul.
Mr Erdogan's Turkey was seen as a runaway success by many in Europe and the Middle East; now it is looking tarnished, with deeper problems than its allies - and enemies - realised, he adds. | Police in the Turkish city of Istanbul have used tear gas and water cannon against protesters in a fifth night of anti-government demonstrations. | 22776946 | [

A new website has been launched for farmers to find practical advice on dealing with the disease on their land.
A five-point biosecurity action plan and poster campaign are also included in the initiative.
The measures are being promoted by organisations such as Defra, the Animal and Plant Health Agency and the National Farmers' Union.
Recommended actions include asking for a herd's TB history before buying cattle, and taking steps to minimise wildlife access to cattle, their feed and housing.
Speaking at the launch of the campaign at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire, Farming Minister George Eustice said "good progress" is being made to eradicate TB in England.
However, he said reducing the risk of disease entering a farm is a "crucial element" to end the "devastation" it causes for farmers and rural communities.
"There are simple and practical ways for farmers to reduce risk to their herds and neighbouring businesses from bovine TB which are set out in this new action plan approved by vets and farming experts," he added.
Mr Eustice encouraged all cattle farmers to visit the new website and "think about the actions they could take to make a difference to improving the security of their herd".
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease of cattle and is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), which can also infect and cause TB in badgers, deer and other mammals.
Badgers, which some claim transmit TB to cattle, have been subjected to culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire for three years running. A pilot cull in Dorset is also being held this year.
According to Defra, about 30,000 cattle were slaughtered in Great Britain in 2014 because of bovine TB. | The government has unveiled new tools and advice for farmers as part of a fresh campaign to tackle bovine TB. | 34797385 | [

Under-strength Pau offered stubborn early resistance matching Blaine Scully's try with one by Daniel Ramsey.
Two scores by Cory Allen after the break, assisted by Steven Shingler, put Blues in the driving seat.
But the home team could not claim the bonus point score in the final 20 minutes, with centre Pierre Dupouy claiming a consolation try.
Blues will face second-placed Bath twice in December, with both teams unbeaten going into the first of those games in Cardiff on 10 December.
Blues coach Danny Wilson said: "I thought the boys played really well. We talked about the bonus point, but we had a good nine minutes I think it was of defending on our line.
"But you know what, that's probably better for us and where we are to have that real good shift of defence. Granted they they got over at the end but I think it shows some improvements in that area.
"And it showed boys fighting until the game was finished.
"It's nice when you can go out there and backs score three fantastic tries off first-phase, off solid set-pieces plays which is important and shows a mixture to our game."

Djokovic won 6-3 7-5 in a largely commanding performance.
The 29-year-old, who has now won seven titles this year, has beaten the Japanese on nine successive occasions.
Djokovic, who was beaten in the third round at Wimbledon by Sam Querrey, will represent Serbia at the Rio Olympics.
"I don't need to explain that every athlete dreams of being a part of the Olympic Games," he said. "I'm competing in singles and doubles.
"Hopefully I'll get at least one medal." | World number one Novak Djokovic won his first title since his surprise exit from Wimbledon with a straight-sets win over Japan's Kei Nishikori in the final of the Rogers Cup in Toronto. | 36938031 | [

He says small companies are not receiving the funding required to grow.
"We have been appallingly bad at giving those minnows the long-term capital they need," said Mr Woodford.
On the BBC, Tech Talent coverage is asking whether the UK can compete in the global tech industry.
The UK is a magnet for entrepreneurs - around a third of them come from abroad.
But according to Mr Woodford and others, home-grown tech entrepreneurs are not turning promising starts into leading global companies.
Rory Cellan-Jones: Has the UK got Tech Talent?
Mapping the UK's digital clusters
On Monday, the BBC will look at the vibrant and growing UK tech scene and ask why it has failed to find a Google or Facebook.
A variety of reasons have been put forward, including a digital skills shortage, a lack of leadership experience and difficulties in raising finance.
Rohan Silva, a tech entrepreneur and former adviser to David Cameron when he was prime minister, says funding for start-ups has "long been seen as a big problem in the UK".
"There's two types of funding," he told the BBC. "There's the funding that comes from friends, family and fools: the start-up money - £50,000, £100,000 - to get going. There we've really made a big difference in the UK. We've created the world's most generous tax breaks for that kind of investment."
The second type is "scale-up cash" to help companies grow, which is still proving "a big challenge".
"There is a big role for government in providing a bunch of that funding, particularly when it comes to research in the laboratory and helping that go to market," he says.
Mr Woodford agrees that financing is a major constraint.
"We have four of the top 10 universities in the world, 29 of the top 200. We do science and research really, really well in the UK and we're generating lots of little companies," Mr Woodford said.
According to him, it is after this stage that the problems emerge.
Mr Woodford argues that UK investors are too short-term and do not have the scale to support small technology firms.
Hussein Kanji, co-founder of Hoxton Ventures, agrees: "It would still be hard for something like an Uber to be born out of the UK because I don't think there's a financing community that would give Uber the billions of dollars that it has consumed to get to global stage."
Others point out that Silicon Valley has had longer to perfect the process.
Eileen Burbidge has worked at Apple and Yahoo and is now a venture capitalist based in London.
"They [Silicon Valley] did have an ecosystem that was cultivated in the 1940s and 1950s frankly by the US government and the defence industry that were originally in that part of California."
One problem, Mr Silva says, is the UK's entrepreneur relief which gives a lower capital gains tax when businessmen and women sell their company.
"The problem is this relief perversely encourages you to sell out early. If you did decide to try and build a Google or an Uber in this country, you'd actually pay a much higher tax rate than if you'd sold out and decided to live in a country mansion after a few years."
Mr Woodford also believes that UK entrepreneurs have been too quick to sell out once the business gets going.
But this is not a path that Taavet Hinrikus, chief executive and co-founder of London based peer-to-peer money transfer service TransferWise, is intending to follow.
His company has become what is known as a unicorn - a company set up since 2000 which is now valued at more than $1bn (£770 mn). There are fewer than 20 in the UK.
He said he would not sell-up at the moment.
"We're just getting started with the company so why should we stop now? What would I do? I'd go on the beach for a day and then I would become incredibly bored and I would have the same urge to change the world for the better. I think starting over would be going backwards," Mr Hinrikus said.
Another theory is that universities aren't being supportive enough.
"We haven't been as opportunistic, adventurous and entrepreneurial as others," said Annalisa Jenkins, boss of Dimension Therapeutics, a gene therapy innovator.
"In the past academics have traditionally viewed success, quite rightly, as their ability to publish their research in leading journals... the notion of turning their inventions into innovations that really drive value for people hasn't really been rewarded and recognised in terms of the culture of our country in the last 20 to 30 years," Ms Jenkins said.

Technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, economics editor Kamal Ahmed and North America technology reporter Dave Lee will all be involved in the coverage of why the UK seemingly cannot match Silicon Valley. | Investors need to take a long-term view when backing new tech start-ups in the UK according to leading fund manager Neil Woodford, speaking as part of the BBC's Tech Talent coverage. | 37402344 | [

Kirklees Council said the plan was to "target properties with poor thermal efficiency and households at risk of fuel poverty".
The solar panels will be installed on 50 homes this year, 1,000 next year and 950 in 2016/2017.
Councillor Cathy Scott said the authority expected the panels to reduce household bills by £100 each year.
"A reduction in fuel poverty is the key driver for the project rather than maximising income and the intention would be to target properties with poor thermal efficiency," she said.
The council hoped the project would be self-financing with "a future feed in tariff income of £14m overall based on the electricity generated".
It also expects 50% of the electricity generated by the solar panels to be used by tenants. | A £9.2m scheme for 2,000 solar panels to be installed on council houses in Kirklees has been given the go ahead. | 29343896 | [

The train firm said it would refund the difference in cost between mainline and high speed fares - to compensate for the loss of direct high speed trains.
Southeastern will also give season ticket-holders from five stations a backdated 20% refund on mainline fares.
Dover MP Charlie Elphicke, said the line still needed repairing quickly.
He said it had been a difficult time for rail users and it was right passengers should be compensated after the problems were caused when cracks appeared in the sea wall.
Mr Elphicke said an emergency peak-time high-speed rail service between Dover and St Pancras to help commuters had made a difference.
"We now need Network Rail to confirm how long it will take to repair the sea wall," he said.
Steve Kilby, from Network Rail, said the team was working hard to get a final design in place for repairs.
But, he said: "This week has been very stormy on the beach and our guys have been working through tough conditions."
He said 15,000 tonnes of rock had been placed on the shingle to protect the railway from heavy seas and eventually more than 70,000 tonnes would be in place.
The stations where passengers will be compensated are Sandwich, Deal, Walmer, Martin Mill and Dover Priory.
Compensation claim forms are available for people at the station. | Passengers affected by the collapse of a railway line during storms in Dover are to be compensated, rail operator Southeastern has said. | 35462011 | [

Under the agreement, a national unity government will be installed and a presidential poll will be held by the end of the year.
The deal, reached after mediation by EU foreign ministers, also sees electoral reform and constitutional changes.
Ukraine's parliament has voted to reduce the president's powers.
It also approved laws which could see the release of jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko.
The deal follows hours of talks and months of demonstrations on the streets of Kiev and other cities.
Dozens of protesters were killed by security forces on Thursday.
The deal has been met with scepticism by some of the thousands of protesters who remain on Independence Square in Kiev, with some saying they still did not trust President Yanukovych.
The opposition leaders who signed the deal were booed and called traitors by a crowd in Independence Square, the focal point of the protests, the BBC's Gavin Hewitt reports from Kiev.
The agreement, published by the German foreign ministry, includes the following:

The primary aim of any new government - which could be in place with a week or two - will be to restore peace and political stability to a country that has been on the brink of civil war.
Alongside the political changes is the challenging task of reforming the police and dismantling the whole apparatus of repression. Corrupt prosecutors and judges will have to be replaced.
And then there's the economy. The Ukrainian currency, the hryvnya, has tumbled in value. There have been reports of some shortages of petrol, bread and even cash. International ratings agencies have warned of the country defaulting on its debts.
Ukraine cannot survive without help - but where should it come from? Russia has promised a $15bn (??9.2bn; 10.9bn euros) loan, lent in dribs and drabs. Now the EU has woken up to the importance of Ukraine, the question is whether it will commit to a multibillion-pound bailout package of its own for just a single country - one which may join the EU one day, but not soon.
The agreement was later signed by Mr Yanukovych and opposition leaders Vitali Klitschko, Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Oleh Tyahnibok at the presidential administration headquarters in Kiev.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski tweeted that the deal was a "good compromise for Ukraine" which would open the way "to reform and to Europe".
Mr Sikorski told reporters on his return to Warsaw that Russia had played a constructive role in reaching the agreement.
The White House has welcomed Friday's deal, praising "the courageous opposition leaders who recognised the need for compromise".
President Barack Obama is due to speak to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, later on Friday.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron also welcomed the agreement and called on all sides in Ukraine to "get behind this deal and deliver it according to the timetable set out".
Shortly after the deal was signed, Ukraine's parliament approved the restoration of the 2004 constitution, with all but one of the 387 MPs present voting in favour.
By Mark LowenBBC News, Lviv
Any political deal between President Yanukovych and the opposition movement will have to pass the test here in Lviv. It is a city that has been at the forefront of the protests, sending busloads of demonstrators 500km east to Kiev on a nightly basis.
Lviv has always looked west rather than east: a city for centuries under Polish and Austrian rule, it only fell to the Soviets during World War Two and has remained fiercely proud of its Ukrainian identity ever since.
The writ of the Kiev government does not extend here. Every regional administration building is now under the control of the protest movement. I visited the police headquarters, taken on Tuesday night by the opposition and ransacked. At the security service office, burnt out cars lie in the courtyard. The mood here is one of defiance: that President Yanukovych must step down now.
Mr Yatsenyuk said the vote was "the first step to restore order in Ukraine".
Parliament also approved an amnesty for protesters accused of involvement in violence and voted for the dismissal of Interior Minister Vitaliy Zakharchenko.
MPs voted for a change in the law which could lead to the release of Tymoshenko, an arch-rival of Mr Yanukovych.
She was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2011 for abuse of power. Her supporters say this was simply Mr Yanukovych taking out his most prominent opponent.
"I think what we're witnessing is the collapse of this absolutely bizarre and terrible dictatorship which was building up in the country," opposition politician Andriy Shevchenko told the BBC from the floor of parliament.
Dozens of MPs from Mr Yanukovych's own Party of Regions voted for the motions, in what correspondents say will be a humiliation for the president.
Despite the agreement, isolated outbursts of violence were reported in central Kiev on Friday morning.
It remains to be seen whether the deal will be enough to placate more radical elements of the opposition, including many in the west of Ukraine, who have been demanding Mr Yanukovych's resignation.
The protests first erupted in late November when President Yanukovych rejected a landmark association and trade deal with the EU in favour of closer ties with Russia.
The deal comes after the bloodiest day since the unrest began.
Police opened fire early on Thursday after protesters tried to push them away from the makeshift camps they have been occupying in central Kiev.
The health ministry said 77 people had been killed since Tuesday, and another 577 were injured. | Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leaders have signed a deal to try to end the political crisis in the country. | 26289318 | [

The current 56 day waiting time target for treatment is to be halved to 28 days, Health Minister Mark Drakeford said.
Health boards have until next March to hit the new target and Mr Drakeford said there has already been "significant progress" in services.
Charities have warned of the growing mental health problem in Wales.
Under the old arrangements, patients had to be seen for an initial assessment within four weeks - and then there was another wait of up to eight weeks for treatment.
Now that wait for treatment time after being first evaluated has been cut to four weeks too.
The Welsh government said its waiting times for mental health assessment and treatment were are already more stringent than those in England.
£587m
spending, 2015-16
11.4%
of NHS budget
Women treated for mental illness 14%
Adults being treated for depression 9%
Rise in child and adolescent referrals since 2011 100%
NHS England has a target that 75% of adults should expect treatment within six weeks and 95% within 18 weeks.
Mr Drakeford said: "This announcement will help ensure timely access to treatment, ensuring people who need expert care and support receive the right services in the right place at the right time."
Sara Moseley, director of Mind Cymru, the mental health charity, said the new target was "welcome" but more needed to be done, including improving the type of treatment offered to people.
"I think the minister is making it very clear that mental health is a priority and we welcome that but we think this is a journey," she added.
Under the old measure, 85.5% of patients in Wales were treated within the eight weeks of being assessed in June 2015. Cwm Taf health board had the best record with 97.7% meeting the target compared to only 67.4% in the Aneurin Bevan area.
But Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams said hundreds of young people would be"left behind" as they will still be subject to a longer 16 week target - one that is met only 50% of the time. | People with mental health problems are being promised faster access to treatment by the Welsh government. | 34678407 | [

The England Knights player made his Tigers debut as a 16-year-old in 2008, and went on to make 44 first-team appearances for them, scoring 16 tries.
"I'm looking forward to a new challenge and something a bit different," Arundel told Hull's club website.
"I'm really excited and also a little nervous as it's a big club and that will put a bit more pressure on me."
Hull FC's director of rugby Shaun McRae added: "We have said since day one that we're trying to build a culture and winning mentality at this club, one that isn't only about now but also about the future.
"That's why we're looking at players of Joe's calibre that are not just showing immense promise now but look to have ever greater years ahead of them in their career, not just with Hull FC but England too." | Hull FC have signed 20-year-old centre Joe Arundel from Castleford Tigers on a four-year contract from 2013. | 18249156 | [

About seven miles (11km) of shoreline, including beaches at Great Yarmouth, Gorleston and from Scratby to North Denes, were affected by the flooding.
On Scratby beach alone, it is believed there are about 6,000 sq metres (65,000 sq ft) of waste, 3ft deep (1 metre).
The operation is expected to take several weeks.
Before Christmas, staff from Great Yarmouth Borough Council took away any potentially hazardous material, including gas bottles, fridges and freezers.
Now workers are left with glass, wire and wood to dispose of.
George Jarvis, from Great Yarmouth Borough Services, said a lot of manpower was being used to sift through the debris.
"We did consider burning on the beach, but looking at the weather forecast we're due to have quite a lot of wet weather this week," he said.
"Also the prevailing winds coming in from the sea would have blown quite a lot of thick, black smoke into public areas."
There is no estimate for the total cost of the clear-up, as it is not yet known how long it will take.
The council hopes to recoup the money spent through the government's Bellwin Scheme.
The Bellwin Scheme was introduced in the 1980s to provide some government support for flood-hit areas, but only provides funds for temporary flood measures and the work must be undertaken within two months of the flood. | Work has begun to clear up hundreds of tonnes of waste washed up on Norfolk beaches during last month's North Sea tidal surge. | 25724628 | [

IS and other jihadist groups appear to be exploiting new functionality introduced by the app last month, which allows users to broadcast their messages to an unlimited number of members via their own Telegram "channel".
On 26 September, just four days after Telegram trumpeted the launch of its new "Channels" tool, IS media operatives on Twitter started advertising the group's own channel dubbed Nashir, which translates as "Distributor" in English.
It has already amassed more than 4,500 subscribers.
Since then, IS propaganda has started appearing first via Telegram, often several minutes before being posted to Twitter.
The group's claim for an attack on Saudi and Emirati forces at a hotel in the Yemeni city of Aden on Tuesday was posted first on Telegram, for example, although Twitter remains a key platform for IS to spread its message.
IS appears to be hoping the Berlin-based Telegram will offer it a more stable and resilient platform for its propaganda, faced with a sustained clampdown on its Twitter presence.
But Telegram itself suggests it will take down illegal material that is made publicly available via the app - including posts related to IS, according to its website.
IS has not had an official presence on Twitter since July 2014, when its last branded accounts were shut down.
It then experimented with a series of less well-known social media platforms, such as the privacy-focused Diaspora as well as VKontakte, Russia's largest social network, whose co-founders the Durov brothers went on to set up Telegram in 2013.
But IS was soon kicked off those platforms too.
Since then, Twitter has remained the group's preferred platform. But it has been caught up in a cat-and-mouse game with the Twitter administration, which has also led to its quasi-official, non-branded accounts routinely suspended.
Even before IS launched its latest propaganda channel via Telegram, there had been evidence that the group and its members were using the app.
Earlier in September, IS had advertised an Iraqi mobile phone number, which people could use to get in touch with the group via the Telegram app in order to pay a ransom for two hostages being held by the group.
And jihadists inspired by IS, including a British teenager convicted recently, have used the app's secure encrypted messaging to conduct attack planning.
Jihadists have been drawn by Telegram's boast to provide a "secret chat" facility, which heavily encrypts messages user-to-user with a unique key to avoid interception by hackers or government agencies.
Telegram is so confident of its security that it twice offered a $300,000 reward to the first person who could crack its encryption.
But it is the app's new public broadcast function that jihadists have been quick to latch on to and it is not just IS that has started exploiting it.
Al-Qaeda's Yemen branch (AQAP) launched its own Telegram "channel" on 25 September, although its material is still coming out first via Twitter, where the group has its own official accounts. And the Libyan Ansar al-Shari'ah group created its channel the following day.
A raft of other pro-IS and pro-al-Qaeda media groups have also set up shop there.

More than 1,000 people packed into the city's Anglican Cathedral for his funeral on Friday, with a bevy of famous Merseysiders in attendance, including comedian Ken Dodd, model Danielle Lloyd and actress Jennifer Ellison.
Howe's flamboyance, lust for life and penchant for self-promotion earned him near celebrity status in the city - what you might call a "Scousehold name".
But who was Howe and what was his story?
It began almost 50 years ago, when the talented snipper stated his vision of creating "The Harrods of hairdressing".
Born in 1944 in the Old Swan area of the city, he became a hairdressing apprentice in Bold Street before using the princely sum of £100 to open his first salon on West Derby Road.
Howe showed a keen talent from the outset, becoming the youngest-ever Guild master hairdresser at the age of 28.
His business grew gradually, and before long he was running Merseyside's largest hairdressing training school.
He would later be presented with a "Scouseology" special award for services to Liverpool.
Previous winners of the award include Paul McCartney, the late Cilla Black and Liverpool FC stalwart Kenny Dalglish.
At home mingling with the rich and famous, Howe loved showbusiness and featured on ITV docu-soap Shampoo and Channel 5's Celebrity Super Spa.
Later in life he took to the stage as a pantomime dame, for which theatre producer Jane Joseph said he was "an absolute natural".
"He was as much an entertainer as a hairdresser, so it was only natural that he could entertain on stage as well," she said.
He also chose to regularly spend his Friday night contributing to BBC Radio Merseyside's late show - an association that lasted nearly 10 years.
At his funeral, presenter Linda McDermott described Howe as "irreplaceable", and said he "radiated love of people and of life, and of great kindness".
He loved the bright and colourful - particularly pink, the colour he painted his house.
So it was no surprise that in 2006 he named his landmark £3m salon the Bling Bling building.
The Hanover Street salon was designed by architect Piers Gough as a place to match his vibrant and theatrical personality - and was soon frequented by the great and good on the city.
Herbert even tried his hand at politics - if only briefly.
He stood for Mayor of Liverpool in 2012, launching his campaign with a champagne reception and promising to give his mayor's salary to youth groups, but quickly withdrew because of what he described as the "viperous attitude" of local politics.
But friends say his greatest legacy will be his charity work.
Ms McDermott remembered how he took hundreds of young carers to Blackpool and Gulliver's World theme park and was moved to tears by a letter from a young boy thanking him.
She said Howe once brought 40 children from Chernobyl into his salon to treat them to cakes and haircuts.
He set up Queenie's Christmas Charity in 2007 in memory of his mother, who died of Parkinson's Disease.
It provides Christmas dinner at the city's famous Adelphi Hotel, for people who would be alone on Christmas day, as well as supporting Barnardo's young carers by providing food and gifts.
Howe had said he wanted to be remembered as "Liverpool's Father Christmas".
Fellow hairdresser Andrew Collinge said he was "a great man - as we know a much loved part of Liverpool - and a great hairdresser" whose "work for good causes was unparalleled".
Actor Ricky Tomlinson called Howe "a champion of the underdog", who "cared about people who weren't as lucky or fortunate as himself".
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson earlier said on Twitter he was an ambassador for the city and that there was "less glitter" now he has gone. | Mayoral candidate, friend to the stars, charity fundraiser, lover of pink and hairdresser extraordinaire - Liverpool has been saying goodbye to the much loved Herbert Howe. | 37879710 | [

The 1 mile (1.5km) park between Alum Chine and Southbourne in Bournemouth is due to open on 13 April.
The ??700,000 attraction will include a multi-sports arena, sporting events site and a dinghy park.
The work on the park will also see repairs made to a ??3.2m artificial surf reef at Boscombe, which was closed in 2011 after a boat propeller damaged it.
Local traders, hoteliers and businesses attended a series of events in January to give their feedback on the park's designs and potential benefits.
Funding for the park has been assisted by a ??254,000 grant from the government's Coastal Communities Fund. | Designs for a dedicated activity park along the Dorset coast have been unveiled. | 26052812 | [

He remains the world's richest person, despite giving away 64 million shares in Microsoft.
The shares are equivalent to 5% of his total fortune, currently estimated to be $89.9bn.
Since 1994 Mr Gates, 61, and his wife Melinda have given away a total of $35bn in cash and stocks to a range of charitable causes.
The donation was made in June but became public on Monday following the filing of a document with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mr Gates' share in Microsoft is now just 1.3%. Prior to this, Mr Gates gave away $16bn in Microsoft shares in 1999 and $5.1bn in 2000.
The majority of all previous donations have been made to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is primarily focused on reducing world poverty, combating infectious diseases and providing universal access to computers.
It is not known who the recipient of this latest donation is, however when federal documents are filed, it usually means new money is being given to a foundation, the Chronicle of Philanthropy reports.
In 2010, Mr and Mrs Gates and the well-known investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett created the Giving Pledge, and as of May 2017, 158 individuals or couples have agreed to contribute at least half of their wealth to charity.
This latest donation is the biggest charitable gift to have been made anywhere in the world so far this year.
The second largest was made by Mr Buffett, who donated almost $3.2bn to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation last month.
And the third biggest came from Dell Computer Corporation founder Michael Dell and his wife Susan.
In May the couple gave more than $1bn to their foundation, which focuses on children's issues and community initiatives. | Bill Gates has given away $4.6bn (£3.6bn) to charity in his largest donation since 2000. | 40934211 | [

A review for the Commission on Local Tax Reform said there was no "magic bullet" to cure defects in the system.
It said the council tax had built-in problems "from day one" but a failure to modify it had stored up more difficulties for policy makers.
The commission, set up by the Scottish government and council body Cosla, will report back later this year.
Prof Kenneth Gibb, from the University of Glasgow, was asked to review different systems of local taxation across the world.
He found that a tax on property was used by almost all OECD countries and was seen by academics as a "good tax" because it was stable, difficult to avoid and could have a desirable impact on housing markets.
But it also generated confusion with taxpayers unclear whether it was a tax on wealth or a charge for services such as refuse collection.
Some felt it was unfair because it was not linked to current income.
Prof Gibb noted that a local income tax, used by many countries, was generally perceived as fairer.
But he found such a system created difficulties for local authorities because it meant their income fluctuated. There was also little opportunity to vary tax rates to reflect local priorities.
He said: "It is clear there is no magic bullet.
"Past experience from the UK and across the world shows that reform is always going to be difficult and will inevitably be bound up with the previous experiences and traumas of past reform.
"So whilst the current council tax has many deficiencies, change and reform is a major undertaking."
The commission now intends to hold a public consultation across Scotland before publishing its report in the autumn.
A Scottish government spokesman said ministers consider the current council tax system "as a whole to be unfair".
He added: "That is why, along with our local government partners, we have established the cross-party Commission on Local Tax Reform to examine fairer alternatives.
"The Scottish government awaits the commission's report, which is due in the Autumn." | Replacing or reforming the council tax in Scotland could prove challenging, according to a study. | 33811105 | [

Dominic Grieve said the right to report proceedings in the Commons and Lords without fear of legal recourse did not "necessarily extend" to all media.
Remarks repeated "out of context" might not be covered, he suggested.
He also warned MPs against revealing details of court orders in Parliament.
When court proceedings were active, parliamentarians should only refer to them in Parliament in "the most exceptional of circumstances", he said in a speech in London.
MPs are protected from prosecution over statements made in Parliament under what is known as parliamentary privilege - one of the oldest rights enshrined in British law.
But there was controversy earlier this year when Lib Dem MP John Hemming use it to name footballer Ryan Giggs in Parliament as someone who had been granted an injunction preventing reporting of his private life.
Mr Hemming justified the move - criticised by many other MPs at the time - by arguing that the information was already widely known to the public and he was not abusing the privilege as he could have named the footballer outside the Commons without being accused of contempt of court.
Parliamentary privilege was also used by Lord Stoneham to disclose a privacy order obtained by former chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Sir Fred Goodwin.
Referring to the issue of parliamentary privilege, Mr Grieve said that while - as an MP himself - he defended the right of Parliament to determine its own affairs it was "important to remember these are the privileges of Parliament as a whole and not that of the individual member".
"It ill serves the parliamentary process if court orders are openly flouted for no good reason," he added.
"It is not for a parliamentarian to ignore the careful and measured approach of a judge when deciding if an injunction should be granted.
"The House of Commons has resolved that the sub judice rule applies to proceedings which are active and they shall not be referred to in any motion, debate or question.
"Parliament and the Courts should each be left to do their work without interference by the other - save in the most exceptional of circumstances."
Mr Grieve, the government's senior law officer, also suggested the media must "beware" reporting anything said in Parliament which flouted court orders.
The extent of legal protection available to them in such cases had yet to be "authoritatively decided", he said.
"It is still an open question as to whether something said in Parliament in breach of a court order may be repeated in the press," he added.
"The privilege to report parliamentary proceedings, which is provided by the parliamentary papers act and covers Hansard, does not necessarily extend to all publications which are not published by order of Parliament.
"It is likely that it does extend to a fair and accurate report of proceedings in Parliament. But just because something has been said does not mean it can be repeated out of context."
A joint committee of Parliament is currently looking into whether there should be a change in the law relating to privacy injunctions, something many MPs think is necessary.
Next week it will take evidence from public figures such as Max Mosley, Steve Coogan and Hugh Grant. | The media must be careful about using parliamentary privilege as a defence for reporting remarks by MPs and peers which breach court injunctions, the attorney general has said. | 15999191 | [

In a tweet, Eastleigh candidate Patricia Culligan claimed a Liberal Democrat standing in another seat "deliberately became HIV positive yet free NHS care v costly".
She was referring to Paul Childs who is standing in Liverpool Riverside. He revealed he was HIV positive last week.
In appearing to question the cost of treating British patients Ms Culligan went further than Nigel Farage, who has controversially said foreigners with HIV should not be treated for free by the NHS.
The UKIP leader's comments during last week's TV debate were greeted with heavy criticism from some of the other leaders. He insisted it was right to "put our own people first".
Patricia Culligan removed her tweet and apologised after UKIP was contacted by the BBC on Thursday evening.
In a statement, the party said: "We wholeheartedly support the NHS being free at the point of access and kept publicly-funded.
"We have spoken to Ms Culligan and advised her to retract the comment which seems to conflate two very separate issues."
In a follow-up tweet she said she "sincerely" apologised for "any totally unintended offence" , saying she had misread a Mail Online article about Mr Childs.
She added: "I have nothing but sympathy for sufferers."
It is not clear though if she believes the NHS should ration or reduce treatment of British HIV sufferers.
UKIP almost won the Hampshire seat of Eastleigh in a by-election in 2013.
Ms Culligan was selected last September to fight it for UKIP.
The Liberal Democrats said her comment was "disgusting and deeply offensive".
A party spokeswoman said: "The Liberal Democrats will always stand up for the liberal British values of tolerance, generosity and decency."

FirstGroup takes over on Sunday amid ongoing disputes over driver-operated doors and the role of train guards.
The company said it would be "retaining a second person" on board trains.
The RMT union said in talks the firm refused to provide a guarantee "despite what they have been telling the press".
FirstGroup and Hong Kong company MTR will provide 90 new trains by December 2020 with doors that can be operated by the driver.
Franchise managing director Andy Mellors said: "Our commitment with the 750 new carriages for the suburban routes out of Waterloo is that we will be retaining a second person on board those trains."
But following talks the RMT said FirstGroup altered the wording to say it was "planning" to keep a second person.
General secretary Mick Cash said: "The company refused to give a guarantee that there will be a second person ‎on their trains despite what they have been telling the press.
"They also failed to clarify what safety competencies and role a second member of staff would have on their services."
The union sees a second member of staff on board its trains as "critical" to passenger safety.
In an earlier BBC interview, Mr Mellors said the new trains would "retain a second person" on board, but could not say what that person's role would be.
A company statement said: "We know that a second member of staff provides assurance to our passengers on trains and ensures we have capable colleagues on board to deliver assistance during the journey for anyone that needs help or advice while travelling on our trains."
Disputes over driver-only operated trains on other rail services have led to 16 months of industrial action by the RMT.
The South Western rail service currently operates routes between London Waterloo, Reading, Bristol, Exeter, Weymouth, and Portsmouth, as well as Island Line on the Isle of Wight. | The new South Western rail franchise holder has been criticised by a union for allegedly refusing to guarantee a second staff member on board its forthcoming trains. | 40965413 | [

The state department's John Kirby said Pakistan must target militant groups.
The United Jihad Council - a coalition of militant groups fighting Indian rule in Kashmir - has claimed responsibility.
The attack on the Pathankot base near the Pakistani border is seen as an attempt to derail recent peace moves by Pakistan and India.
"The government of Pakistan has spoken very powerfully on this and it's our expectation that they'll treat this exactly the way they've said they would. We have been clear with the highest levels of the government of Pakistan that it must continue to target all militant groups," Mr Kirby said.
Five militants and seven Indian soldiers have so far been killed during four days of fighting.
The army is still conducting clearing operations inside the 2,000 acre base.
The United Jihad Council was formed in 1994 to co-ordinate resources and plans to hit military targets in Indian Kashmir among more than a dozen groups based in Pakistani-administered Kashmir. Those groups were widely seen as being brought together by Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency.
The UJC is led by Mohammad Salahuddin, the leader of the pro-Pakistan Hezbul Mujahideen group, the largest in the alliance. The leadership of most of these groups is based in Pakistan, and they have been largely dormant since the 2003 ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto boundary dividing Kashmir.
So the claim by the UJC to have carried out this latest attack is likely to strengthen the view that it was authorised by the Pakistani army to undermine Mr Modi's recent peace overtures to Pakistan's civilian government. The Pakistani military has been accused of sabotaging the civilian-led normalisation process with India on several occasions in the past.
The UJC could also be trying to remain relevant even after India strengthened the LoC to stop infiltration of militants from the Pakistani side.
On Monday evening, a senior security official told a press conference that all families living on the base were safe and "all strategic assets [helicopters, aircraft and other military hardware] were secured".
Maj-Gen Dushyant Singh, from India's elite National Security Guard, said it would take a "long time" to declare the base completely secure, because of its size and geography.
Meanwhile, police in Punjab's Mohali district said they had arrested three men with illegal arms and recovered a Pakistani "SIM card" from them. It is not yet clear whether the men had any connection with the attack, police said.
The Pathankot assault started before dawn on Saturday when a group of gunmen - wearing Indian army uniforms - entered the residential quarters on the base.
Hours of heavy gunfire followed and a helicopter was seen firing at the facility on Sunday.
The attack is being seen as a blow to an apparent Indo-Pakistani peace initiative launched just days ago.
Hopes for a thaw in relations were raised after Mr Modi paid an unexpected visit to his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif.
Pakistan's foreign ministry and the US state department have condemned the attack.
Pathankot air force base is about 430km (270 miles) north of the Indian capital, Delhi, and is on the road linking Indian-administered Kashmir with the rest of the country.
Indian-administered Kashmir has seen a long-running insurgency against rule from Delhi, and Kashmir has been a flashpoint in relations between Pakistan and India for nearly 70 years since independence. | The US said it "expects" Pakistan to act against perpetrators of a deadly attack on an Indian air force base. | 35230184 | [

Councils approved 1,584 applications from people with convictions.
Data obtained by the BBC also shows that councils received more than 1,200 taxi-related complaints in 2014 - a small rise on the previous year.
But the Scottish Taxi Federation said the public should not be concerned.
Bill McIntosh, general secretary of the body which represents the taxi trade, played down the conviction and complaint figures.
He said: "All Scottish licensing authorities are required to ensure that in granting a licence to drive a taxi or a private hire car, the applicant meets with their interpretation of being a fit and proper person.
"[And] taking into account that there are approximately 36,500 licensed taxi and private hire car drivers throughout Scotland, and the many millions of journeys undertaken, it could be argued that the number of complaints made were in real terms relatively small."
However, he added: "This is not to suggest that we should be dismissive of the numbers."
The new figures - obtained through a series of co-ordinated freedom of information requests - come in the wake of Glasgow taxi driver Arshad Mohammed being found guilty of raping a female passenger.
And an East Renfrewshire taxi driver is currently awaiting sentence after admitting placing female passengers in a state of fear or alarm and lying on his licence application.
Michael Boyd, who had previously surrendered his East Ayrshire licence after a series of complaints, said on his application form that he had never previously held a taxi driver's licence.
Police Scotland said the relevant checks had been carried out at the time of Mr Boyd's application to East Renfrewshire, with a negative result.
The force said it was now developing a national IT system which would act as a "single point of reference for licences that had been granted or revoked by the relevant local authority".
A recent amendment to the 1974 Rehabilitation of Offenders Act currently stipulates that applicants for taxi and private hire car licences must declare all previous spent and unspent convictions.
Each council's licensing committee then typically consults with Police Scotland on all submitted taxi licence applications.
The committee then meets to discuss individual applications where objections have been raised, or inconsistencies have been detected, by the police.
The figures obtained by BBC Scotland show that the highest number of drivers with criminal histories have been issued licences by Glasgow (290), Edinburgh (257) and Falkirk (184) councils.
Many of the convictions are related to common traffic offences such as speeding or running a red light.
But other convictions included assault, breach of the peace, car theft, drink-driving, indecent exposure and possession of an offensive weapon.
Two licensed drivers in the Borders had charges dating back to the 1970s related to unlawful carnal knowledge of girls under 17.
In East Ayrshire, a licence was issued to an individual who had carried out 49 offences, including assault and theft, as well as repeatedly driving while disqualified and without any insurance.
In that particular case, the council said a panel had fully considered all previous convictions - the last of which was from 2006.
Guidance from the Scottish government suggests "local licensing authorities will want to consider each case on its merits, but they will doubtless take a particularly cautious view of any offences involving violence, and especially sexual attack".
The report was guided by a concern that "the industry is protected from infiltration and targeting by organised crime groups".
A spokesperson for Highland Council said there were "no hard and fast rules" about who should be granted a licence.
"An applicant with a series of recent convictions, for example, is more likely to be considered not to be a fit and proper person than an applicant with older convictions whose record shows that he or she has not re-offended for a considerable time," it said.
The BBC Scotland investigation revealed that taxi-related complaints had doubled, and even trebled, in some council areas.
Aberdeen City Council received 144 complaints in 2014 - up from 51 the previous year.
And the reporting of grievances doubled in East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, Highland and South Lanarkshire.
The most complaints were received by Edinburgh (340), North Lanarkshire (210), and Aberdeen (144).
The bulk of complaints were related to the personal behaviour of drivers, and dangerous driving.
But Highland Council also received complaints including tailgating, money laundering and the sale of drugs and alcohol from licensed vehicles.
The complaint data also revealed that an East Ayrshire driver had his licence suspended in February 2014 after allegedly "placing a lone female in a state of fear and distress".
Assault and racial abuse were among the grievances filed to West Dunbartonshire council since 2010.
There were also complaints regarding public urination, fare disputes, vehicle conditions, drivers electing to take longer routes and refusals to take guide dogs.
However, grievances were not only filed by passengers but also by other by other cabbies for infractions by drivers of private hire vehicles.
Only Hackney carriages may pick up passengers from authorised taxi ranks or if hailed in the street.
A spokesperson for Falkirk Council said it was "impossible" to make any correlation between a driver's criminal history and the complaints.
The council said: "Once a driver is licensed they are subject to an annual renewal process which enables both the police and the licensing authority to undertake checks on the continuing fitness of the driver."
Complaints across Scotland rose marginally between 2013 and 2014, from 1,167 to 1,201.
However, a number of councils refused to release their complaint data, or only released a portion of it, so the actual number of annual grievances is likely to be higher.
Most councils in Scotland have enforcement units, empowered by the 1982 Civic Government Act, to investigate any alleged wrongdoing.
But the data obtained by BBC Scotland reveals that often many of the complaints are not upheld.
No action was taken in nearly 90% of the complaints submitted to Falkirk Council in 2014.
In South Ayrshire, two-thirds of complaints were not upheld.
The spokesperson for Falkirk Council said disciplinary action was often not taken due to a lack of evidence or corroboration of events.
They said: "This is particularly the case when taxi drivers complain about each other and the licensing authority finds itself in a position of having to deal with 'tit for tat' complaints.
"Other types of complaints are not of the nature where formal action would be suitable, for example in relation to personal hygiene and appearance issues.
"There are, of course, a number of complaints where the complainant does not wish to pursue the matter beyond the driver being made aware of their complaint." | Drivers with convictions for offences such as assault, housebreaking and drink-driving were issued taxi licences last year, a BBC Scotland investigation has revealed. | 32478871 | [

Government sources told the BBC that the tribal fighters set fire to a building used by the militants.
The source said 10 IS militants and five tribesmen had died in the clashes that followed.
Issa al-Issawi, the exiled mayor of Fallujah, said that more tribesmen were joining the fight against IS.
Reports said the violence involved men from multiple tribes and IS members known as al-Hisba, who are responsible for enforcing religious strictures in the city.
"Clashes took place between sons of the al-Mahamda and al-Juraisat tribes against the al-Hisba group," Mr Issawi told AFP news agency.
He said the violence stemmed from tensions over increasingly difficult living conditions while Fallujah is besieged by Iraqi security forces.
Sheikh Majeed al-Juraisi, a leader in the al-Juraisat tribe, told AFP the clashes were part of an uprising against IS fighters in the city and called on the government and security forces to help.
Reports suggested the tribesmen had seized parts of the north of the city, but later ceded the ground back to IS jihadists.
Fallujah, which is about 50km (30 miles) west of Baghdad, has been held by anti-government forces since the beginning of 2014 and is now one of two Iraqi cities still under the IS group's control.
IS militants launched a sweeping offensive in June 2014 that overran large areas north and west of Baghdad, but security forces and allied fighters have pushed the jihadists back with support from US-led air strikes. | Local tribesmen have reportedly clashed with fighters from the so-called Islamic State (IS) in the IS stronghold of Fallujah in western Iraq. | 35616264 | [

Foster's time of 11.62 seconds earned automatic qualification as she finished second in her first-round heat.
However, Smyth exited from the men's 100m as he finished fifth in his heat in 10.66 - .44 secs outside his best.
Reid, meanwhile, false started in his heat and was disqualified.
Paralympic star Smyth, 27, appeared to start well in heat four but faded after 50m as he finished fifth in 10.66 seconds.
"I got out of the blocks really well and was in a good position in the early stages, however, I then tightened up and people started to pass me," explained Smyth.
"I was hoping to do better but I still haven't fully recovered from my hamstring injury.
"[But] It has been an incredible experience for me to represent Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games as I missed out on Delhi because of injury."
London-born Reid's first Northern Ireland outing proved a brief affair as he false started in heat three.
Reid, 20, switched allegiance to Northern Ireland in February as his mother hails from the province.
Birchfield Harrier Reid won European Junior Championship 200m silver last year and his main focus in Glasgow will be the longer sprint.
Smyth is also scheduled to run the 200m at these championships but the Londonderry man's 2014 season has been badly affected by hamstring trouble and the 100m is regarded as his stronger event.
A time of 10.45secs would have secured a fastest loser's progression to Monday's semi-finals.
Foster looked to be in a tricky heat but her time of 11.62 - despite being .22secs outside her best - earned her second spot behind Australia's Melissa Breen [11.54].
On the opening date of athletics action at the Games, Northern Ireland hopeful Gladys Ganiel produced a gutsy run to take 12th in the women's marathon with her finishing time of 2 hours 40.29 minutes, only 57 seconds outside her personal best set in Berlin last September.
The American-born runner was making her first appearance at a major championship at the age of 37.
Ganiel is not a full-time athlete and her day job is working as an assistant professor in conflict resolution and reconciliation at Trinity College, Dublin.

It hopes to attract both foreign tourists and domestic visitors as part of efforts to diversify the Saudi economy, as oil prices have fallen.
Visa restrictions on foreigners are to be eased in the tourist zone.
However, it is not clear whether dress codes and other restrictions in the conservative kingdom will be relaxed.
Alcohol, cinemas and theatres are prohibited in Saudi Arabia.
Women must wear loose-fitting, full-length robes known as "abayas" in public, as well as a headscarf if they are Muslim. They are not allowed to drive and often require a male guardian's permission to study or travel abroad.
Construction of the new resorts is due to start in 2019. The first phase will include developing a new airport as well as luxury hotels and housing, and is expected to be complete in 2022.
Sebastian Usher, BBC News Arab affairs editor
Saudi Arabia already plays host to millions of foreigners - for work and for the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.
But its austere religious and social codes, reflected in the ruggedness of the landscape, have hardly proved enticing to tourists - and until recently, that's how the Saudis liked it.
Now, with oil revenues falling, fresh ways of earning income and providing jobs for Saudis have been urgently sought.
Tourism has been earmarked as a key element of a new economic and social vision.
The tourism project is part of a plan, known as Vision 2030, spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who was elevated to become the first in line to the Saudi throne in June.
The Red Sea development will be built along 125 miles (200km) of Saudi's western coastline, according to the Vision 2030 fund.
Among the attractions will be protected coral reefs, dormant volcanoes, and a nature reserve inhabited by rare wildlife like Arabian leopards and falcons.
Visitors will also be able to take trips to the ancient ruins of Madain Saleh, classified as a Unesco World Heritage site, and take part in activities such as parachuting, trekking and rock climbing. | Saudi Arabia has launched a massive tourism development project that will turn 50 islands and other sites on the Red Sea into luxury resorts. | 40795570 | [

Mark Thompson wrote in a blog that the BBC had seen "disturbing new tactics", including the targeting of family members of those working outside Iran.
Last week, the sister of a BBC Persian staff member was detained and held in solitary confinement at a Tehran jail.
Iran accused the BBC of inciting unrest after the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009.
BBC Persian broadcast online videos and interviewed protesters, who described deaths, injuries and arbitrary arrests carried out by security forces.
In his blog, Mr Thompson wrote that for BBC Persian staff, "interference and harassment from the Iranian authorities has become a challenging fact of life".
"In recent months, we have witnessed increased levels of intimidation alongside disturbing new tactics," he added.
"This includes an attempt to put pressure on those who work for BBC Persian outside Iran, by targeting family members who still live inside the country."
Mr Thompson revealed that last week the sister of a BBC Persian member of staff was arrested and held in solitary confinement on unspecified charges at Evin Prison in the capital, Tehran.
"Although she has now been released on bail, her treatment was utterly deplorable and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms."
Human Rights Watch said that at one point, a man claiming to be the relative's interrogator at Evin telephoned the staff member in London and offered to release her in return for information about the BBC.
Mr Thompson said staff had also faced false accusations of sexual assault, drug trafficking and financial crimes.
In recent months, a number of relatives of BBC Persian staff had been detained for short periods of time by the Iranian authorities and urged to get their relatives in London to either stop working for the BBC, or to "co-operate" with Iranian intelligence officials, Mr Thompson said.
In other instances, passports of family members have been confiscated, preventing them from leaving Iran, he added.
"This has left many BBC Persian staff too afraid to return to the country, even to visit sick or elderly relatives."
He said some had also had their Facebook and email accounts hacked, and been subjected to a "consistent stream of false and slanderous accusations... in the official Iranian media, ranging from allegations of serious sexual assault, drug trafficking, and criminal financial behaviour".
Some reports claimed they had converted from Islam to Christianity or Bahai faith - potentially a capital offence in Iran as it is considered to be apostasy.
Human Rights Watch's Middle East director, Sarah Leah Whitson, said the actions of the Iranian authorities suggested they were attempting to silence reporters and the BBC, and were sending "a message that the government's long arm of repression can extend well beyond borders".
UK Middle East Minister Alistair Burt said Iranian officials' "deplorable tactics illustrate again the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran, and the desperation of the Iranian regime to silence any independent voices". | The BBC's director general has accused the Iranian authorities of intimidating those working for its Persian service. | 16874177 | [

The newly-designed form, used to apply for a divorce in England and Wales, asks for the name "of the person your spouse has committed adultery with".
Family lawyers say that, in most cases, involving a third party adds "conflict and complexity".
The Ministry of Justice said there was "no obligation" to name people.
Lawyer Margaret Heathcote, vice-chairwoman of family law group Resolution, is one of those concerned about the form.
"Generally speaking, we don't name the third party. It increases the conflict from day one," she said.
"There's no need. But because the box is there, the indication will be to fill it in."
The online form has been updated to make the legal process more user-friendly - especially as some complete the process without seeking legal advice.
The guidance on the form highlights that it is "not normally necessary" to name the person your spouse committed adultery with.
But Georgina Hamblin, director at divorce lawyers, Vardags, said people are "unlikely to read the much smaller print or choose to ignore it".
The older version of the form left a space for so-called "co-respondents" to be named where appropriate.
"The new form flatly asks for 'the name of the person your spouse has committed adultery with'," Ms Hamblin explained.
"This is an invitation which I fear most broken hearts will not be able to refuse."
If you name the person your husband or wife committed adultery with, they become part of the court case.
They will be sent copies of the paperwork and given a chance to respond. If they don't respond, proceedings may be delayed and could incur more costs.
According to the latest statistics, there were just over 100,000 divorces granted in England and Wales in 2015.
Adultery was the reason for 12,148 of them. "Unreasonable behaviour" accounted for 46,815.
Ms Hamblin said 80% of the new clients she deals with in matters of adultery "want to get the new partner involved and to have their chance to say what they think of them".
"But it puts the petitioner in a bad light. We have to talk clients down from doing that," she said.
"Judges take a very dim view of petitioners trying to bring in new partners and embroil them in proceedings."
When you apply for a divorce you must prove your marriage has broken down and give one of the following reasons:

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "It has always been possible for a petitioner to name the person they believe their spouse has committed adultery with on divorce application forms.
"As set out in the previous form, and more clearly in the new form, there is obviously no obligation to do so. This is a relevant part of divorce proceedings." | The government's new divorce form - which invites the writer to "name and shame" - could lead to more people being accused of adultery, lawyers say. | 40899859 | [

Burials were held for 33 of the 84 people whose bodies have been recovered. Several local people are still missing.
Thousands of people gathered in the square outside the town's main church to pay their respects in front of a long row of coffins.
Rescue workers are still searching the local river for victims.
One resident of Salgar particularly hard hit is the city's cemetery worker who has prepared 15 graves for members of his own family - mostly cousins who died in the flood.
A spokesman for the national emergency authorities said he expected to end the search for victims on Thursday or Friday.
He said between 20 and 25 local people caught in the flood had not been accounted for.
Locals and firefighters have been searching a 40km-long (25 mile) stretch of land on the banks of the Liboriana river.
Most of the residents were asleep when the landslide hit at 03:00 local time (08:00 GMT) on Monday.
The landslide was triggered by heavy rains that sent torrents of water and mud crashing into the La Liboriana ravine, causing an overflow that destroyed the neighbourhood below. | A mass funeral has taken place in the Colombian town of Salgar for victims of a devastating mudslide on Monday. | 32840652 | [

America Luke Richardson sent about 4,000 messages to a 14-year-old girl from Essex and met her in a hotel, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
The 22-year-old had previously been dismissed by the force after he stole uniform and visited schools without authorisation.
Richardson, of Salford, was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court.
He was also given a sexual harm prevention order and will be on the sex offenders' register for life.
He admitted six counts of sexual activity with a child, one of grooming and one of taking indecent photographs of a child.
GMP suspended Richardson in January 2014 after finding he had "used his role inappropriately" while entering a school without authorisation on an independent patrol.
But, after removing his uniform and warrant card from him, Richardson was again found to have gone to a sixth form college while wearing police uniform.
On searching his home, officers found a large quantity of police uniform to the value of £970 and arrested him on suspicion of theft.
Subsequent allegations of inappropriate contact with children prompted a new investigation in September 2015.
Richardson's confiscated phone and computer revealed 4,000 messages had been sent to a 14-year-old girl in Essex.
She revealed they had met up in a hotel booked by Richardson.
He was then charged with a number of sexual offences and remanded in custody before being formally dismissed in April.
Supt Mark Kenny said: "I am pleased that America Luke Richardson is now off the streets and unable to harm any more young girls.
"We are continuing to investigate the possibility that Richardson may have more victims and we are appealing for anyone who may have been approached inappropriately by him online, or in person, to come and speak to police." | A former special constable who groomed and engaged in sexual activity with a child has been jailed for five years. | 37025160 | [

The firm announced it had agreed a deal with the board of California-based Anacor Pharmaceuticals.
Anacor's flagship product is crisaborole, a cream for eczema which is awaiting approval by US regulators.
The deal comes just weeks after Pfizer scrapped a planned $160bn merger with Irish drugmaker Allergan for tax reasons.
"We believe the acquisition of Anacor represents an attractive opportunity to address a significant unmet medical need for a large patient population," said Albert Bourla, head of Pfizer's global innovative pharma unit.
Crisaborole can achieve $2bn (£1.4bn) in annual sales if approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, according to Pfizer.
Some 18 million to 25 million people suffer from eczema in the US, but currently there are few safe appropriate treatments, Pfizer said.
Anacor shares jumped 57%, rising above the $99.25 a share agreed with Pfizer. | US drugs giant Pfizer will acquire the maker of a new eczema treatment in a deal worth $5.2bn (£3.6bn). | 36303578 | [

The move comes after Mexico drew their opening Confederations Cup game 2-2 with Portugal in Russia.
Fifa has since warned the FMF about "insulting and discriminatory chants" and said it could take further action if it happens again.
Mexico have already been fined eight times during World Cup qualifying because of homophobic chanting.
Some fans of Mexico shout an insult at keepers when they take a goal-kick which is argued to be homophobic.
"As you know, Fifa is very serious about the chanting that we do when the goalkeeper takes a kick, and the possible sanctions are serious," said a statement from the FMF.
"Our efforts on the pitch will come to nothing if, because of this (behaviour), we lose the match, the game is suspended or you are expelled from the stadium.
"We lose, you lose, everyone loses." | Mexico's football federation (FMF) has asked a "small group" of its fans to stop a chant Fifa says is homophobic. | 40352853 | [

The EU "crisis management concept" is the first step towards sending a force.
Fighting between Muslims and Christians in CAR has driven nearly a million people from their homes.
Currently about 4,000 African troops and 1,600 French troops are trying to prevent more bloodshed in CAR. The cost of an EU mission is not yet clear.
Correspondents say an EU force of up to 1,000 troops is likely.
A European diplomat close to the talks said the EU foreign ministers in Brussels had made "a commitment to kick off operational planning".
This week the EU will seek a mandate at the United Nations for such an operation, and EU experts will go to the CAR capital Bangui to assess the cost, the diplomat told the BBC.
At the moment "it is unclear what exactly will be needed", the diplomat explained, requesting anonymity.
Greece has offered to host a mission headquarters and Estonia is prepared to send up to 55 troops, the diplomat said.
Several other countries are considering troop contributions, including Lithuania, Romania, Austria and Finland.
The EU operation would provide "temporary support, for a period of up to six months, to establish a secure environment in the Bangui region, with a view to handing over to the African Union (AU)", the ministers said in an official statement after their Brussels talks.
The plan is to turn the current AU deployment in CAR into a UN peacekeeping operation, the statement said.
The aim is also to stabilise the situation so that urgently needed humanitarian aid can reach the many suffering civilians. | EU foreign ministers have agreed on a blueprint for sending hundreds of European troops to the Central African Republic to help quell violence there. | 25810730 | [

In May, 14 Fifa officials and sports marketing executives were indicted in the US on racketeering charges involving more than $150m (£97m).
"Substantial evidence" has been gathered so far, according to Lynch.
Properties in the Alps have been seized in a separate Swiss investigation.
The US authorities are working closely with their Swiss counterparts, and held a joint news conference in Zurich to provide updates on their respective investigations into world football's governing body.
"The scope of our investigation is not limited, and we are following the evidence where it leads," said Lynch.
"I am grateful for the significant co-operation and substantial evidence that we have received from all quarters."
In June, Fifa president Sepp Blatter announced he would resign less than a week after he was re-elected, saying "his mandate did not appear to be supported by everyone".
Lynch would not say whether Blatter, 79, is a target of the US investigation.
The Swiss investigation is looking into bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, to be held in Russia and Qatar respectively.
Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber said 11 terabytes of information had been seized "so far".
He added that 121 different bank accounts had been brought to the attention of the investigating task force, and said they were "not even at half-time" in their investigation.
Lauber confirmed that Swiss prosecutors will also investigate a Fifa contract for media rights to the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. | More charges against "individuals and entities" are being considered as investigations into allegations of corruption within Fifa have expanded, says US attorney general Loretta Lynch. | 34246154 | [

Lucio Barani was said to have gestured in the direction of Barbara Lezzi from the opposition Five Star Movement (M5S) on Friday.
Vincenzo D'Anna is thought to have repeated the gesture.
Female senators from various parties responded, demanding that Mr Barani apologise.
The Senate speaker suspended Friday's debate on Italy's constitutional reform bill in the subsequent pandemonium.
The two centre-right senators insisted their actions were misunderstood, but were nonetheless suspended by the speaker's council on Monday.
The speaker said the incidents were "so serious they offended persons and senators, and undermined the credibility of the institutions," news agency Ansa reported.
M5S Senator Alberto Airola was also suspended for a day for insulting members of government. | Two Italian senators have been suspended for five days after allegedly making obscene gestures at female colleagues during a senate debate. | 34453376 | [

It says something for the way the team have fallen from past greatness that the result they are talking about is the fourth row of the grid - or the third if things go especially well - and some decent points.
This, from a team that has won 182 grands prix, at a win rate of 23.18%, 12 drivers' world championships, and eight constructors' titles. And which still, despite its dire current results, has two world champions in the cockpit - one of them, Fernando Alonso, arguably the best on the grid.
Listen: Dennis on Alonso, loyalty & mentality
The slump started in 2013, when McLaren lost its way on chassis design, but still had the best engine.
Now, the team seem to have got their mojo back with the car but the problems lie with the Honda power-unit.
This is a far cry from the previous era of one of the most famous partnerships in F1 - it is with Honda that McLaren achieved their greatest successes of an illustrious history.
In 1988, they swept a season like no-one has since, even Mercedes. With the two best drivers in the world in their cars, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, they won 15 of the 16 races.
They dominated the next four years, before spending several years in the doldrums - a dip at times as bad as the latest one - before more resounding success, with Mika Hakkinen and Mercedes engines in 1998-99.
Amazingly, the team's last constructors' title was in the first of those two years of victories with the 'flying Finn'.
They should have won it again, in 2007, when Alonso and Lewis Hamilton were team-mates and finished agonisingly tied in the championship, a single point behind the winner, Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari.
But although the team scored more points than any other, McLaren were kicked out of the constructors' championship that year - and fined $100m - after being found guilty of benefitting from their illegal possession of reams of Ferrari technical information.
There was another scandal two years later - this time dubbed 'lie-gate' - after Hamilton and sporting director Dave Ryan were found to have misled the stewards at the Australian Grand Prix. This led to a humiliating public apology from Hamilton, and the sack for Ryan.
Until 2012, when Hamilton and team-mate Jenson Button won seven races between them, the victories kept coming, but other than Hamilton's in 2008, the titles dried up - and now the wins have, too.
In many ways, their current predicament is nothing surprising. McLaren's F1 history has, like those of many long-term participants, been a cycle of triumph and decline.
Their first decade, following the team's establishment by the New Zealand F1 driver Bruce McLaren was spent building up the team into an increasingly powerful force, a process that continued despite the founder's death in a testing crash in 1970.
Their maiden title came in 1974, with the Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi. Another followed two years later, courtesy of James Hunt in his now-famous battle with Ferrari's Niki Lauda.
But then the team began to slip backwards, left behind by the technology of the time. Rather like now.
So alarming was the dip in form that main sponsor Marlboro engineered a coup, bringing on board Ron Dennis, first as co-team boss. He took complete control shortly afterwards and has held it ever since, in one role or another.
Dennis built the team up to its first period of real domination in 1984-5, followed by the Honda era, then a partnership with Mercedes, before stepping back in 2009, only to take back control after the team's disastrous 2013 season.
So far, his return has not had its intended effect. But is McLaren in a period of slow - some would even say terminal - decline? Or are the good times around the corner again?
Dennis insists it is only a matter of time before success will return.
It is McLaren, he told BBC Sport in an interview to mark the team's golden anniversary, who will break Mercedes' hegemony in F1, and become the next team after the German giants to win the title.
This, after all, is why Alonso returned to the team in 2015 - a decision widely questioned at the time because of the difficult relationship he had with Dennis when they worked together in 2007.
The Spanish two-time champion left Ferrari because he felt they would never get there; joined McLaren partly because there was nowhere else to go, but also because he felt the renewed Honda partnership was his best chance to win an elusive third title in the end.
Dennis and his lieutenants believe they are in the process of arresting the slide, that the car is among the very best this year, and that next year Honda - who last year re-entered F1 too soon - will ensure their engine is, too.
They can see the progress, they say, and it is only a matter of time before they again deliver "championships, plural", as Dennis puts it.
But right now, belief is all they have. And on it rests not only a successful end to the career of one of the sport's greatest ever drivers, but also the reputation of one of its greatest names.

Michelle O'Neill hosted a departmental breakfast at the Balmoral Show on Thursday morning.
In attendance was the Chinese consul general Madam Wang Shuying.
Chinese inspectors visited Northern Ireland pork plants in April as part of a process to approve local pork for export.
Ms O'Neill said she was also hoping to agree access to Chinese markets for beef and chicken.
US consul general Greg Burton was also at the event.
Northern Ireland is hoping to sell beef into the United States.
Ms O'Neill said she was also working with Irish agriculture minister Simon Coveney to resolve labelling issues that have hit Northern Ireland lamb sales to meat plants in the Republic of Ireland.
She told guests that the quality of Northern Ireland food was "something that carries our reputation around the world."
She said it was "safe, traceable and sustainably produced" and she would seek to use that reputation to open doors.
It is the second day of the Balmoral Show, the biggest showcase for Northern Ireland's farming and food industries. | The agriculture minister is to return to China next month as attempts to access markets there continue. | 32736400 | [

But the Uruguay striker, 27, can now train and play in friendly matches, with new club Barcelona confirming: "He will join the first team's training session, scheduled for Friday.
"The public presentation of Suarez as a new Barcelona player will be held on Monday at the Camp Nou."
It is not known if he will play in Monday's game with Mexico's Club Leon.
A full explanation of the Cas ruling, which still prevents him from playing "organised" matches but now allows him to take part in all "football-related activities", will be published at a later date.
He will still have to serve the remaining eight games of his record nine-match ban in competitive international games, while his competitive Barcelona debut is likely to be at Real Madrid on 26 October in El Clasico.
But Suarez will now be available for Uruguay's friendlies against Japan and South Korea in September and Saudi Arabia the following month.
Suarez's lawyers argued that world governing body Fifa's decision to suspend him from all football-related activity for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 2014 World Cup group match in Brazil in June was too strong a punishment.
Switzerland-based Cas - an independent body whose rulings are accepted by most sporting organisations - said: "The sanctions imposed on the player by Fifa have been generally confirmed."
But it said preventing Suarez from taking part in any football activity was "excessive", as not allowing him to train would have an impact on the player after the suspension had ended.
World players' union Fifpro said it was "disappointed that the court had decided not to strongly diminish the sanctions" and "remain of the view they are disproportionate in relation to his violation of the Fifa disciplinary code".
It added: "We regret Cas not deciding to reduce the length of Suarez's bans in exchange for an obligation for him to receive treatment."
In addition to being allowed to train and play in friendlies, the former Liverpool player - who moved to Barcelona last month for £75m - can also attend matches and take part in promotional activities.
His legal team said the appeal was a success, arguing Fifa had "misapplied its own rules when considering the case and the sanction it imposed was disproportionate".
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker tweeted: "Luis Suarez's appeal against a four-month ban has failed. He is though, sensibly I think, now allowed to train with the team."
"By allowing Suarez to train, Cas appears to have taken into account the club's interests and has emphasised any appropriate sanction for such incidents should be proportionate," said Hannah Clipston, a lawyer specialising in resolving disputes.
"What is proportionate for a repeat offender is different to what is proportionate for a first time offender."
Suarez apologised nearly a week after the incident, despite initially claiming to have lost his balance.
He was previously suspended for biting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal and Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
In 2011, he was also given an eight-match suspension and fined £40,000 for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra. | Luis Suarez's four-month ban for biting an opponent has been upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). | 28783667 | [

No, we all watch the show to see the mess-ups, the catastrophes, the all-out disasters.
After all, there's nothing more rewarding than thinking, "I could have definitely done better than THAT!"
So let's count down some of the best (worst) moments from the last series.
The hypnotherapist made a solid impression in the first week of the competition when she told her team of female contestants that they had to wear make-up and short skirts to help them stand out.
She was met with blank stares as competitors and viewers alike wondered if she had come straight out of the 1950s.
Another contestant to blaze a trail for feminism was Daniel Lassman, who created questions for his team's board game that included: "Men think women should... a) iron, b) smile more or c) always be happy."
As one game reviewer on the show said: "The game itself feels pretty sexist to me."
It's hard to pick which bit of the coach tours was the worst, but we're plumping for Sanjay getting his group lost.
But we must also mention the sing-song organised by James, and those awful-looking lunches.
Note to self: Never, ever try to outsmart Lord Sugar.
Felipe Alviar-Baquero came unstuck when his paper skeleton replica didn't quite cut the mustard in the purchasing challenge - and yet again, Daniel managed to escape being sacked.
Because HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You're about to walk into the biggest job interview of your life. And oh yeah, it's being filmed for prime time television.
So for your presentation you bring in some illustrations and logos - but absolutely no figures... Soloman - you're fired.
There's nothing like watching a smug so-and-so getting his comeuppance - and so it was hard not to rub your hands with glee when Mark Wright spluttered his way through a big pitch to the supermarkets.
"Cough-hello-cough-cough-cough-trifle-cough-yum-cough-cough-pudding-cough."

His comments, made during a closed-session meeting in the Hungarian capital Budapest, were accidentally broadcast to reporters.
He said the EU was the only major power to attach "political" conditions to its relationship with Israel.
This, he said, was damaging to the bloc's security and economic interests.
The EU has repeatedly condemned Israel's building of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank.
In comments picked up on the headphones of reporters waiting outside the meeting, Mr Netanyahu told the prime ministers of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia: "The European Union is the only association of countries in the world that conditions the relations with Israel... on political conditions. The only ones."
He was referring to the EU's insistence on terms relating to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process being included in its Association Agreement with Israel, signed in 2000 and not subsequently updated.
"It's crazy. It's actually crazy," he said. "It's not about my interest. I'm talking about Europe's interest.
"We have a special relationship with China. And they don't care. They don't care about the political issues."
He added that India and Russia had a similar approach, and urged the four prime ministers to push for a deal on a new Association Agreement.
"There is no logic here. The EU is undermining its security by undermining Israel. Europe is undermining its progress by undermining its connection with Israeli innovation by a crazy attempt to create conditions."
He added: "I think Europe has to decide if it wants to live and thrive or if it wants to shrivel and disappear.
"I am not very politically correct. I know that's a shock to some of you. It's a joke. But the truth is the truth. Both about Europe's security and Europe's economic future. Both of these concerns mandate a different policy toward Israel."
Mr Netanyahu also criticised the policies of former US President Barack Obama's administration, saying things had improved since Donald Trump took office.
"We had a big problem. I think its different now. Vis-a-vis Iran, there is a stronger position. The US is more engaged in the region and conducting more bombings."
He also admitted that Israel had carried out dozens of attacks against Iranian-backed militia group Hezbollah's arms convoys in Syria.
"I told [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, when we see them transferring weapons to Hezbollah, we will hurt them. We did it dozens of times," he said.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has been an outspoken opponent of Muslim immigration to Europe, later told reporters: "We share Israel's notion of protecting external borders. If Europe does not co-operate with Israel, it is punishing itself." | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the European Union's "crazy" approach to dealing with his country. | 40661203 | [

The site has been largely inaccessible for the last 24 hours, and the service is intermittent in the UK.
The Pirate Bay has confirmed the attack on its Facebook page, saying that it did not know who was behind it, although it "had its suspicions".
A provider of DDoS defence systems said that it was unlikely that the attack came from hacking group Anonymous.
"There will be further attacks, but what's significant about this whole story is that people think that it is the Anonymous attacking a site which is typically a type of site that they defend," said Andre Stewart of Corero Network Security.
"It could be the record labels, or a government somewhere that has had enough of not being able to catch The Pirate Bay, it could be just one person who had rented some cloud power from Amazon and is sitting in a cafe, and is able to launch an attack."
Although some users may have attempted to access the site using proxies, TPB itself warned them against doing so.
"Use proxies at own risk. Don't login unless you trust the proxy supplier. Don't freak out. You'll get your TPB fix tomorrow," said the site.
TPB allows users to illegally obtain copyrighted songs, films and other content for free.
Copyright holders argue this causes a significant loss in revenue.
However, others say that it is very difficult to assess the impact of downloading on sales.
"If they're losing money and seeing that the government is not being able to stop it, there's a real monetary value reason for them to try and bring it down," said Mr Stewart.
"And if they can do it in the name of Anonymous then it's great for them.
"Equally the governments that protect these industries are frustrated as well because they haven't been able to see it close down, unlike a number of other torrent sites."
Virgin Media began preventing access to the file-sharing site following a High Court order last week.
Some time later the Virgin Media website suffered a hack attack that many thought was organised to protest against efforts to block access to TPB.
Twitter feeds associated with the Anonymous collective wrote: "Virgin Media - Tango Down #OpTPB".
But TPB criticised Anonymous for the attack, writing on its Facebook page that it did not "encourage these actions".
"We believe in the open and free internets, where anyone can express their views," wrote TPB.
"Even if we strongly disagree with them and even if they hate us. So don't fight them using their ugly methods. DDoS and blocks are both forms of censorship." | File-sharing website The Pirate Bay (TPB) has been hit by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. | 18095370 | [

A 24-hour walkout by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, in protest at the introduction of driver-only trains, ended at 11:00 BST on Wednesday.
Southern warned passengers to expect "difficult and frustrating" journeys throughout the day.
Two further strikes have been announced for 10 May and 12 May.
Latest updates here
The RMT confirmed it would attend talks with Southern "over the guards jobs and safety dispute" on Friday.
Dyan Crowther, chief operating officer for Southern owner Govia Thameslink Railway, told BBC Sussex: "We are very pleased to hear that and we look forward to meeting the RMT".
Southern said some routes were again suspended or reduced with 700 fewer services across Sussex and east Surrey.
Ms Crowther said the timetable would not return to normal until Thursday as they needed to get rolling stock and staff into the right position.
Paul Barker, a commuter from Rye, normally catches a Southern train to Ashford then a high-speed service to St Pancras.
He said he worked from home on Tuesday but went to Robertsbridge on Wednesday to catch a Southeastern service to London.
He said: "It was standing room only from Frant, but you cannot take two days off work".
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "This dispute is about safety. The company, with an eye on ever-fatter profits, is prepared to axe the guards on some of the most overcrowded and potentially-dangerous services."
The company said there would be no job or pay cuts but the planned changes would make conductors more visible while drivers would operate doors.
It accused the RMT of "scaremongering" and said "driver-only operation is a safe, proven way of working" which had been used "on 40% of trains across the Southern network for 25 years". | Talks to prevent a further strike by Southern rail conductors are to be held on Friday. | 36147615 | [

Anatoly Kucherena told reporters his client would remain in the transit zone at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, where he has been for the past month.
Earlier, airport officials said that Mr Kucherena had given Mr Snowden the travel documents.
The US wants him extradited for leaking details of surveillance programmes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has refused to hand him to the American authorities, but said he could stay in Russia only if he stopped leaking US secrets.
Mr Snowden, whose passport has been cancelled by the US, has stayed in the airport's transit area since arriving from Hong Kong on 23 June.
Who is Edward Snowden?
Where will Snowden end up?
Q&A: Prism
He has requested temporary asylum in Russia, and said recently his favoured final destination was Latin America.
Mr Kucherena visited his client at the airport on Wednesday and told a news conference later that the 30-year-old would not yet be leaving the airport.
He said the application for temporary asylum had not been processed, and no travel documents had been received.
"He is not planning to leave for now. He asked for temporary asylum, which in the case of a positive decision is granted for a term of one year," said Mr Kucherena.
The lawyer said Mr Snowden wanted to study Russian culture, adding that he had given the American books including Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment.
Mr Kucherena said Mr Snowden was "anxious" about leaving the airport.
"I hope that this situation will be resolved in the nearest future," he said. "This is the first time Russia is facing such a situation, and this issue of course requires time for the immigration workers."
The lawyer's account contradicted that of airport officials, who earlier told local media that the lawyer had handed Mr Snowden the documents he needed to leave the airport.
It was unclear whether there had been last-minute political intervention or some other problem.
The Interfax news agency quoted unnamed officials saying the American would be provided with new clothes before leaving the airport.
After the lawyer's news conference, the White House said it wanted clarity from Russia on his status.
Spokesman Jay Carney said Washington had already made it clear to Moscow that Mr Snowden should be handed over to face espionage charges.
The Snowden affair has caused diplomatic ructions around the world, upsetting America's close allies and traditional enemies.
Leaks by the former CIA worker have led to revelations that the US National Security Agency (NSA) is collecting Americans' phone records.
On Wednesday evening, an attempt to block funding for the programme narrowly failed in a 205-217 vote in the US House of Representatives.
The White House had lobbied Congress to support the surveillance.
Opponents of the US, including Bolivia, Venezuela and Nicaragua, have all offered Mr Snowden asylum. | Fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden has not been given Russian travel documents, his lawyer has said, contradicting earlier reports. | 23437059 | [

Mr Navalny could now be barred from running in the Moscow mayoral election set for September. He also joins a growing list of opponents of President Vladimir Putin who have ended up on the wrong side of the law or in exile, or have met their deaths in suspicious circumstances.
When Mr Putin first became president in 2000, he immediately set about curbing the power of the oligarchs - the group of billionaires who exerted huge influence over Russia's political system and media.
His first victim was media magnate, Vladimir Gusinsky, the owner of NTV, a station that at the time was highly critical of Moscow's war in the breakaway republic of Chechnya and was home to the satirical puppet show Kukly, which mercilessly mocked the new president.
When Mr Gusinsky refused to allow the Kremlin to influence NTV's editorial policy he quickly found himself charged with fraud in June 2000, and fled the country shortly afterwards.
Within months, he was joined by his fellow media magnate and political fixer Boris Berezovsky.
Mr Berezovsky is believed to have played a key role in helping Mr Putin into power in 2000. But he quickly fell out of favour with the new regime and sought refuge in the UK.
Mr Berezovsky continued to plot against Mr Putin and to be held up as a bogeyman by the Russian media until he was found dead in the bathroom of his Berkshire home in March this year. Police have said that there is no evidence of anybody else being involved in his death.
Perhaps most famously Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former head of the now defunct oil company, Yukos, was targeted when (like Mr Navalny) he accused Mr Putin and his associates of conniving in massive corruption.
He has subsequently been convicted in two trials of tax evasion and fraud. Following his second trial in 2010, Amnesty International recognised Mr Khodorkovsky and his co-defendant, Platon Lebedev, as "prisoners of conscience".
Mr Khodorkovsky is due for release in 2014, but there are signs that he could face further charges.
Political opposition to Mr Putin is becoming an increasingly risky business, with numerous activists facing charges or in jail.
Two members of feminist band Pussy Riot are serving two-year prison sentences for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" after performing an "anti-Putin punk prayer" in Moscow's main Orthodox cathedral in February 2012. A third member of the band had her sentence suspended on appeal.
Meanwhile, criminal charges of affray, incitement to violence and assaulting police officers are pending against more than 20 activists involved in disturbances at a demonstration in Moscow on the eve of Mr Putin's inauguration as president for a third term in May 2012.
Sergei Udaltsov, a left-wing leader of the protest movement, is under house arrest after being charged with incitement to mass disorder on the basis of video evidence shown on Russian TV. If found guilty, Mr Udaltsov (like Mr Navalny) could face a substantial prison sentence.
Some members of the Russian opposition, such as former Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov, continue to defy Mr Putin despite regular harassment and detention for public order offences.
Like Mr Navalny, Mr Nemtsov is a member of the opposition's alternative parliament, the Coordination Council. He is also co-author of a report accusing Mr Putin of leading Russia to ruin.
Another member of the Coordination Council, former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, has joined the growing list of Russia's political emigres.
But, as the fate of former FSB (Federal Security Service) officer Alexander Litvinenko showed, even exile carries risks for Mr Putin's opponents.
Mr Litvinenko died in London in 2006 after being poisoned by radioactive polonium.
It is not just oligarchs and politicians who have to fear Putin's disfavour. Journalists and TV presenters, too, have to be wary of offending the Kremlin.
Ksenia Sobchak, whose father Anatoly was Mr Putin's political mentor, was a familiar face on light entertainment shows on Russia TV until she joined the protest movement following the disputed parliamentary election in 2011.
Since then, her lucrative contracts on mainstream TV have dried up and her appearances have been confined to the niche liberal channel Dozhd - a refuge for several dissident journalists.
Mr Putin makes little secret of his hostility to journalists who challenge his authority.
Shortly after the murder in 2006 of Anna Politkovskaya, a reporter with opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta and fierce critic of the Kremlin's policies in Chechnya, Mr Putin dismissed her political influence as "negligible".
Ms Politkovskaya is one of five Novaya Gazeta journalists who have been murdered or died in suspicious circumstances since 2000.

The 27-year-old Commonwealth Games silver medallist was badly injured in a motorbike taxi accident in Vietnam.
Earlier this week she was flown back to Scotland and is in hospital in Edinburgh.
In a Facebook message posted by a friend, Stephanie also said "can't wait to get home and have a Nando's".
On Thursday, her parents said she had opened and her eyes and said "Hi".
In a further update, on the SaveSteph facebook page, a friend said the judo star had made "outstanding progress" and was eating and drinking small amounts by herself and fully able to communicate.
"Hopefully next week she will be moved to a rehab centre and continue her progress," the statement said.
In her message dictated to her friend, Stephanie said: "Tell everyone thank you for all their support and well wishes, I am going to be up and about before you know it and come and see everyone and can't wait to get home and have a Nando's.
"Thanks everyone for the cards flowers and trinkets that you have sent."
The 27-year-old, who grew up in the Highlands but has been living in Dunfermline, was flown back to Scotland from Thailand after being treated in a Bangkok hospital for a serious head injury and also infections, including pneumonia.
Doctors in Vietnam had given her a 1% chance of surviving her injuries.
Her parents, who live in Daviot, near Inverness, flew to south-east Asia to be with their daughter.
Stephanie, who won her Commonwealth Games medal at Glasgow 2014, had been in Vietnam for about four months, teaching underprivileged children, when the motorcycle accident happened last month.
Her skirt is believed to have become unravelled and caught in the wheel.
Friends and family set up a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her medical costs after it emerged her travel insurance was not valid because she had been in the country more than 31 days. | Scots judo star Stephanie Inglis has thanked her supporters and said she hopes to be "up and about" soon. | 36565386 | [

Connor Hamer, 22, said he had been refused service at the restaurant in Pilsworth on Sunday and would be protesting until the matter was sorted.
The firm said it "respected his right to protest" but the drive-thru was "for roadworthy motor vehicles only".
"To me a horse is like a car, I use them in everyday life," Mr Hammer said.
"I will be staying on McDonald's car park until it is sorted out," he added.
"It could take six days, it could take six months it doesn't matter, I won't be going nowhere."
He said he had lived in a horse-drawn vehicle for three years. | A man is protesting outside a McDonald's after staff refused to serve him at the drive-thru on a horse and cart. | 36276562 | [

Police officers and veterinarians had chased the animal around the course near Toki city in the central Gifu prefecture for hours.
It ran into the lake shortly after it was shot with a tranquiliser dart.
The animal died despite being pulled out within minutes. Officers said it had likely drowned and that its heart had stopped.
The two-year-old male zebra was owned by a mobile zoo, reported the newspaper Mainichi Shimbun, but was being housed at the Mikuni West Farm, a local stable and riding club.
On Tuesday evening, farm managers were bringing in the zebra for the night when it became agitated, trampled the paddock fence, and escaped, fleeing towards a nearby mountain.
By early Wednesday morning police were receiving reports of a zebra running along a highway.
They quickly tracked it to the Toki International Golf Course, where veterinarians and police tried to catch it.
It ran into a lake shortly after being darted.
"We pulled it out, but its heart had stopped," said police spokesman Takahiro Taniguchi, saying it had likely drowned.
The unusual story quickly became a talking point among Japanese netizens who expressed shock and sadness on Wednesday, with the Japanese word for zebra "shimauma" trending on Twitter.
Many retweeted a photo by a girl who said she had spotted the animal galloping down a road on Tuesday night and expressed surprise at spotting "a zebra in the forest". | A zebra that ran away from a horse riding club in Japan has died in a golf course lake after it was tranquilised. | 35878778 | [

Camilla bought a box of mangoes with a Brixton £10 note, introduced last year to try to keep the money of local people within the community.
The couple were surrounded by shoppers as they walked along Electric Avenue.
They came to Brixton to see work which has started to revitalise the borough.
It was Charles' first visit to the area since 1996, when he was accompanied by the former South African president Nelson Mandela.
Greengrocer Derek Chong, who has run a stall on Electric Avenue for 20 years, said Camilla had been "nice and pleasant" when she purchased the fruit.
"She asked me what was nice, what would I recommend, and I said we've got some nice mangoes.
"She asked me were they ripe and I said yes - they're from the Dominican Republic."
Mr Chong is one of 170 local retailers who accept the Brixton Pound.
Customers exchange traditional pound coins for Brixton Pounds and then spend them at the market or in participating shops.
During the visit, Prince Charles spent time talking to youth worker Marcus West, who works with children nearby on an estate off Coldharbour Lane.
Mr West said: "He's on the level, really down-to-earth. They were very cheery. The prince is a lovely man."
He added: "I told him I was working with young kids and he said, 'Keep up all the good work.'"
Prince Charles also visited the Railway Hotel, at the invitation of his charity The Prince's Regeneration Trust.
The trust hopes to restore and refurbish the building, where once Jimi Hendrix and The Clash played, as a new community and business centre. | The Duchess of Cornwall has used some of the currency accepted by businesses in south London - known as Brixton Pounds - on a visit to a local market with the Prince of Wales. | 10711119 | [

An effort to raise cash for a role-playing video game was exposed as a fraud by users of Reddit, Something Awful and other sites.
The project
had $4,739 (£2,922) in pledges
out of a target of $80,000 at the point it was pulled by its creator.
Kickstarter could not provide comment at this time. The site has successfully funded
nearly 22,000 schemes
since it was created in 2009.
Mythic: The Story of Gods and Men had promised "gameplay characteristics will be similar to that of World of Warcraft and the graphics quality should be up there with Skyrim".
The commitment to compete on an equal footing with big budget titles and a claim that "animations will be done via motion capture thanks to some friends at Disney/Pixar" raised suspicions.
The scheme also offered supporters the chance of being motion captured so that they could appear as a "god" in the game, a life-sized sword and a copy of the soundtrack recorded "at the Disney Studios" if they gave enough money.
Internet users subsequently reported that teaser screenshots had been copied from unrelated concept art and graphic design tutorial websites.
No money transferred hands as Kickstarter only charges backers' credit cards if a project attracts enough support before a time limit expires.
However, some users have raised concerns about whether the site was doing enough to vet applicants.
"What worried me the most is how Kickstarter allowed this to be posted in the first place," wrote David Kononen on the site's comments page.
"A simple Google search, and I found out for myself this was very shady."
The person responsible for the scam may have been trying to capitalise on the success of another video game.
The studio Double Fine recently raised over $3.3m from more than 87,000 backers to develop a new point-and-click adventure.
That sum has since been eclipsed by Pebble, an effort to build an e-paper based watch which has raised close to $7.7m in pledges, smashing its $100,000 goal with more than a fortnight to go before its deadline. | Crowdsourced funding site Kickstarter has suffered its first publicised scam. | 17915305 | [

She had just given birth to their first son Dylan.
But rather than congratulations, she was told: "We're sorry, your son has Down's syndrome."
With her background in nursing and her husband's as a doctor, the couple had some knowledge of the condition.
But it still did not prepare them for the negative information that came flooding their way.
"No-one spells out all the things that could possibly go wrong for a child when they're born," she said.
"But when you have a child with a disability, with Down's syndrome, they tell you the average life expectancy is 50; they won't go to mainstream school; they won't do this and that.
"They just say all the negatives."
Fourteen years later and Dylan has defied those initial expectations.
He is flourishing in year 9 at mainstream school and has made the Down's Syndrome GB swimming squad.
But that initial lack of support led to his mother and two other mothers of children with Down's syndrome to take matters into their own hands.
When Dylan was a toddler, a health visitor introduced his mother to Katharina Barker and Nicky Williams.
Both women also had babies with Down's syndrome.
And all three discovered they had shared similar experiences in terms of a lack of support for people with Down's syndrome and their families.
Katharina said although she had had a "very positive, supportive" experience with the birth of her daughter Amelie, she quickly struggled to find specialist support.
"One of the things I found hugely frustrating, unless you are pointed in the right direction you are not going to find services, they are not coming to you," she said.
They decided to host a coffee morning for parents with children with Down's syndrome to make friends and share experiences.
The success of it led to the trio setting up a charity and the support it offers includes speech and language therapy, school help and annual education conferences.
Although Nicky has since stepped down from the Monmouth-based 21 Plus charity, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, Victoria and Katharina are determined to expand its reach as much as possible.
And their hard work and dedication led to them becoming finalists in the national St David Awards citizenship category.
They want to continue helping children with Down's syndrome "achieve their potential and increase access to opportunities".
"One of the mums said to me yesterday that one thing she loves is being able to ask any question, even if it sounds daft and she wouldn't have the nerve to ask anyone else, she can ask us," Victoria said.
"I guess that's why I do it. I don't want any of our families to think, 'I wish I'd known about…' or 'I wish I'd known that earlier'."
"I believe in expert parents and I want to make it possible for our families to become experts if that's what they want."
Katharina added: "We want to give children the chance to access schooling, to access learning and to access the world.
"The greatest thing is to see the children grow up, to see them developing and how well they're doing.
"It makes it so worthwhile, it's wonderful." | It was the look between the midwife and her husband that Victoria Hughes remembers. | 40441972 | [

The midfielder tried his luck from 40 yards out after seeing Lawrence Vigouroux off his line to score his sixth goal of the season before grabbing his seventh in the second half.
Swindon's Darnell Furlong gave the ball away to Oztumer in the 17th minute and the 25-year-old seized the initiative and sailed the ball over a helpless Vigouroux.
The home side could have equalised on the stroke of half-time after Yaser Kasim's perfectly weighted pass found Nathan Delfouneso in the area but he failed to get a shot away.
Andreas Makris should have made it 2-0 to Walsall in the 46th minute after he was presented with an empty goal but he hit the crossbar from close range.
Oztumer claimed his second in the 51st minute, controlling a long ball over the top before volleying into the back of the net to secure the points for the Saddlers.

The party's NEC said it had voted by a "clear majority" to exclude Mr Woolfe - previously seen as the frontrunner.
The MEP said he was "extremely disappointed" by the decision, and three NEC members have quit in protest.
Jonathan Arnott, Bill Etheridge, Diane James, Lisa Duffy, Phillip Broughton and Elizabeth Jones are on the ballot.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Woolfe said he believed the NEC had "their own reasons" for excluding him from the ballot, but implied it could have been linked to the fact he was committed to abolishing the executive.
Asked if he would consider taking legal action, or calling a vote of no confidence in the NEC, Mr Woolfe said it was a matter for the party membership but he thought the contest should continue without him.
Announcing their resignations from the NEC, Victoria Ayling, Raymond Finch and Michael McGough said in a joint statement that the party's governing body "is no longer fit for purpose" and called for a vote of no confidence in the NEC.
They accused it of "deliberately obstructing" Mr Woolfe and some of its members of putting personal ambitions ahead of the interests of the party - which polled more than four million votes at the last general election and got 12% of the vote.
"Steven Woolfe is a popular candidate among UKIP's members and should be permitted to represent those that wish to vote for him," they wrote.
"To purposefully trawl for technicalities upon which to base a decision to deny his inclusion is not in the best interests of the membership and truly injurious to UKIP."
The winner of the leadership contest - sparked by Mr Farage's decision to stand down after the UK voted to leave the EU - is scheduled to be announced on 15 September.
In a statement announcing the final line-up, the party said: "By a clear majority of NEC members Steven Woolfe MEP's application was considered to be ineligible as a result of a late submission and as such he did not meet the eligibility criteria."
Mr Woolfe, the party's immigration spokesman, submitted his nomination papers 17 minutes late on Sunday, blaming the delay on technical issues with the registration site.
He submitted his application at 11:35 BST - before the noon deadline - but it did not successfully go through until 12:17 BST.
He said he had been in contact with party officials prior to the deadline passing to alert them to the problems, and had sent pictures, upon request, to prove it.
The party's chairman, Paul Oakden, said Mr Woolfe's exclusion was "regrettable" but the rules for prospective candidates, as for all elections, were "very clear".
He told BBC Radio 4's World at One that the NEC was put in the position of having "to bend and flex the rules" to accommodate a single candidate and "I think they did not feel comfortable in doing that".
Mr Woolfe said he was "extremely disappointed" not to be on the final ballot as he had wanted to "inject my ideas, plans and passion into the party".
And he criticised the NEC as "not fit for purpose" and said its conduct during the leadership election had "confirmed many member's fears that it is neither effective nor professional in the way it governs the party".
"They have failed to accept that there were serious issues with the application system despite providing evidence that attempts of submission were made before the deadline. The NEC deny this is the fault of the UKIP system.
"Furthermore, highly confidential information about me held in party documents has been leaked to the press and the NEC has not sought to investigate this gross breach of privacy," he added.
Mr McGough - who has resigned from the NEC - said Mr Woolfe's exclusion from the contest was "unfair" and called into the question the party's future.
Unless the party elected a "competent leader who was comfortable with the media, it was finished", he told World at One. "This is a fight for survival. It is life or death."
BBC political correspondent Tom Bateman said the NEC's decision "opens up a whole new schism in UKIP" and he understood that Mr Farage could call an emergency meeting of the party membership to put pressure on the body to reconsider.
Mr Oakden, who only took over as party chairman this week, said the party was perfectly entitled to call an EGM if 25% of its branches backed the move but said talk of a potential split was over-exaggerated and the remaining contenders were a diverse and exciting group.
MEP Ms James - now regarded as the favourite in the contest - has launched her own campaign website while Mr Arnott, an MEP for the north east of England, has said he was won the backing of the party's deputy leader Paul Nuttall.
Of the other candidates, Mr Etheridge is also a member of European Parliament while Lisa Duffy is a councillor in Cambridgeshire. Both Ms Jones and Mr Broughton have stood as candidates in recent parliamentary elections. | UKIP leadership hopeful Steven Woolfe has been ruled "ineligible" to stand in the contest to replace Nigel Farage - after he submitted his papers late. | 36962266 | [

Winger Young won the last of his 30 caps against Ukraine in September 2013.
But his form under Van Gaal has led to suggestions England coach Roy Hodgson might end that exile when he names his squad on 19 March for the games against Lithuania and Italy.
"The manager has been fantastic," said Young. "He gives you the confidence to play and confidence helps massively."
He added: "I can only repay him with my performances on the pitch. That is what I have shown this season."
Young has been used as a full-back and at wing-back this season.
Van Gaal picked the 29-year-old former Watford and Aston Villa player in a more orthodox wide position in the 3-0 win over Tottenham.
Hodgson was at Old Trafford to watch one of United's best performances of the season - and a player who was an ever present at Euro 2012.
"Fingers crossed I can get myself back into the England team," said Young, speaking at a bwin event.
"I have always said I want to represent my country. It is an honour to play for England and hopefully I have done enough to get myself back into the squad.
"But I am concentrating on events at my club and we will just have to wait and see." | Ashley Young says Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has helped revive his hopes of an England recall. | 31913519 | [

Margaret Aspinall and Trevor Hicks campaigned for more than 20 years to secure fresh inquests into the deaths of 96 people in the disaster.
Mr Hicks' daughters Sarah, 19, and Victoria, 15, and Mrs Aspinall's son James, 18, were among those who died at the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989.
Mrs Aspinall, chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said she would accept it on behalf of the families.
A jury is currently hearing the new inquests in Warrington before coroner Lord Justice Goldring.
Mrs Aspinall said: "It's not just about Trevor Hicks and Margaret Aspinall, it's about everybody involved in this. It's all about the people who stood by us.
"From the beginning, when you are fighting against everything, nearly 26 years ago, you had this stigma against you all the time, fighting against that, I feel we have turned it all around now and the stigma is going away.
"People are seeing now, the real people, what the genuine people are like, and the people who stood by the families and stayed with them all these years, so it's for them as well."
Mr Hicks, president of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said: "On a personal level, obviously I'm very flattered. I know it's a bit cheesy but I'm also a bit humbled as well.
"It's not just for me. As it says in the citation, it's for services to the bereaved families.
"It's been a hard slog. We've been accused many times of being vindictive - and lots worse than that. But we've always tried, as a family support group, to play fair."
Fellow campaigner Anne Williams, who died in April 2013, was honoured with the Helen Rollason Award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Ceremony in 2013.
Ms Williams, 60, fought for a new inquest into her son Kevin's death.
Two investigations are being carried out into the aftermath of the disaster - one led by police and one headed by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
