The pages from a 13th Century text of the holy book of Islam were purchased by the council in 1951.
Conservator Richard Hawkes said: "This is the earliest example of paper that I have worked on."
Leeds City Council said the paper's age and origin were confirmed by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2014.
The pages mainly show surahs (or chapters) 29 and 30, said the council.
Councillor Brian Selby said: "The painstaking work of the museum team has ensured the pages can be displayed in a way which fully captures their significance as well as how ornate and beautiful they are."
Leeds City Museum's display starts on Saturday and is to run for a year. | Two pages from an 800-year-old copy of the Koran decorated with gold leaf are to go on show in a Leeds museum display looking at Islam. | 33595191 | [

John Biggadike died when he fell while in the hoist and was impaled on a metal post at Boston Pilgrim Hospital.
At Lincoln Crown Court, the prosecution alleged hospital staff were not adequately trained and had wrongly removed a knee support pad.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust denies breaching health and safety regulations.
Mr Biggadike was receiving physiotherapy at the hospital ahead of being discharged in April 2012 when the incident happened.
More stories from around Lincolnshire
The defence suggest Mr Biggadike's death was not caused by failings in training, but by a failure to act after a previous "serious incident" with a hoist at a hospital in Leicester in 2007.
Jurors heard evidence from Sarah Vincent, representing the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Mrs Vincent admitted the Leicester incident was "serious" but conceded the subsequent MHRA investigation was limited to questioning the hoist manufacturer's own investigation and making sure the hospital trust had instructions for using the hoist.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust denies breach of health and safety regulations by exposing non-employees to risk by failing to train, supervise and monitor its employees in relation to the safe use of the lifting hoist on dates between July 2001 and April 2012.
The trial continues. | Instructions for a hoist involved in the death of a hospital patient were not comprehensive, a court has heard. | 39818586 | [

Adriano Guedes, 63, who was paralysed by a stroke in 2008, was admitted to the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston, Norfolk, in 2014.
He was evicted two weeks ago after the hospital obtained a court order and is now in a council flat in Suffolk.
It was granted as Mr Guedes repeatedly turned down offers of care and housing.
In a statement, Suffolk County Council - which is responsible for his care since he left hospital - said it had worked "extensively" with the patient, along with other agencies.
"We explored all options available, but they were declined by him," it said.
"We will continue to work with our partners and Mr Guedes to ensure he continues to receive appropriate levels of care and support."
On Tuesday, Mr Guedes told the BBC the hospital had "forced" him to to stay.
He said: "It's very bad to occupy a place which should be used by someone in need, but I didn't cause the situation. On the contrary - I tried to get out of there.
"I wanted to leave but they always offered what they knew I would refuse."
Mr Guedes said he had been admitted to hospital on mental health grounds.
He said he has been on a hunger strike since he left on 10 January.
It is understood he is visited by carers four times a day in his new home. | A patient evicted from hospital after spending more than two years in a bed "declined" all options offered, a council has said. | 38747927 | [

Hamilton struggled to fourth behind the Ferraris of title leader Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen while team-mate Valtteri Bottas took a maiden win.
Hamilton said: "Big congratulations to Valtteri. Fantastic job and he deserves the win. He has been fast all weekend.
"For me, just a very, very odd weekend. I am just hopeful in the next races I will be able to pick up the pace."
Bottas' win ensured the damage to Hamilton in the championship was limited as much as possible - Vettel now leads by 13 points but it would have been 20 had the German won the race.
"It's great we are ahead of the Ferraris," the Briton said. "It has stopped Sebastian pulling away too far."
Hamilton was more than half a second slower than Bottas in qualifying and as the Finn made a blistering start from third and took the lead at the first corner, Hamilton did not make ground from fourth on the grid.
The 32-year-old suffered overheating problems as he chased Raikkonen in the first stint of the race and dropped back over the pit-stop period to finish 25 seconds behind the Finn and 36 behind Bottas.
"I don't remember the last time we had that [overheating]," Hamilton said. "It meant I was out of the race from the get-go.
"I think I had the pace to fight with Kimi but the car was just overheating the whole the time. I'm sure we will go back to the drawing board and figure it out."
Bottas joined Mercedes over the winter following the retirement of world champion Nico Rosberg.
Bottas said his first win felt "surreal", but added: "It's a good feeling and I am happy."
He added: "I always knew I could get good results if everything goes right and I always trust in my ability. But it's nice to get confirmation that the results are possible.
"It took quite a while, more than 80 races for me, but it's definitely worth the wait. This strange opportunity came to me in the winter to join the team and they made it possible, so I want to thank them."
Bottas moves into third place in the championship, 23 points behind Vettel and 10 behind Hamilton.
He said: "[Winning the title] has always been the only goal for me in my career but I have not had the chance to prove it. Now I have the chance to prove I can win races and titles. Two weeks ago people were saying I am the number two driver but today it looks very different." | Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton said he was mystified by his lack of pace in the Russian Grand Prix. | 39765906 | [

The General Court of the European Union said there were "internal inconsistencies" in the Commission's 2010 decision.
Of the firms, Air France was fined the largest amount - €182.9m - while KLM was fined €127.2m.
The two carriers merged to form Air France-KLM in 2004.
Other carriers involved were Air Canada, Martinair, British Airways, Cargolux, Cathay Pacific Airways, Japan Airlines, LAN Chile, Qantas, SAS and Singapore Airlines.
Lufthansa escaped a sanction after providing information to the Commission.
The court said that the European Commission had not been clear enough in demonstrating an unambiguous "single and continuous infringement" by the carriers.
Instead, the Commission had found four infringements which it had attributed directly to the carriers on particular routes, the court said.
"Internal inconsistencies" in the decision could infringe the airline's rights of defence, the court added.
Some of the carriers had said that the decision "did not allow them to determine the nature and scope of the infringement or infringements that they were alleged to have committed". | Europe's second-highest court has backed a challenge by 11 airlines against an €800m (£583m) European Commission freight cartel fine. | 35111824 | [

Scientists found that even the lowest expected levels of warming could decimate populations.
However the researchers found that restoring connections between butterfly habitats could help modify the worst impacts.
The research has been published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Although many people believe that butterflies are creatures that love the warmth, periods of extremely hot and dry weather can significantly reduce populations.
In this study, British researchers looked at the impact of an extreme drought event in 1995 on butterfly species. This was the most arid summer since records began in 1776.
They identified six species, including the Cabbage White and the Speckled Wood butterflies, that were particularly sensitive to heat.
They then looked at what might happen to these creatures under different levels of warming up to 2100.
If emissions of carbon dioxide continue on a "business as usual" model, and warming is more extreme, then extinctions of some of these species could begin in England as early as 2050.
"We looked at the extent to which populations crashed from the drought and how long it takes them to recover," said lead author Dr Tom Oliver from Nerc Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
"What we're asking is, as droughts become more frequent whether the return time of the drought was more frequent than the recovery of the butterflies."
"And when that was the case you'd get this gradual population erosion and in those places you'd get local extinctions."
The researchers say that areas of the south east of England would be worst affected.
However they argue that under less extreme warming conditions, changes to butterfly habitats could ameliorate the worst impacts.
The team found that restoring connections between habitats that have been fragmented by human activities such as agriculture, was capable of making a big difference.
Under a low emissions scenario, bridging these connections could improve the probability of butterfly survival by 50%.
"If our habitats are very fragmented, the impacts will be much more severe. In places where it isn't those populations might persist," said Dr Oliver.
"It allows us to buy time until we get those global emission cuts in place."
The researchers believe their study is a conservative estimation of how warming might impact these fragile species.
They are concerned that, because of landscape changes in the UK throughout the 20th century, populations of some of the threatened species might be too low for them to recover from frequent droughts.
The authors say that even people who are not impressed by the aesthetic appeal of butterflies should still be concerned about their demise.
"Butterflies are important culturally as part of our natural heritage, but there are other functions that could be impacted by their extinction including pollution, pest control and decomposition of waste," said Dr Oliver.
"Those un-swayed by the beauty and importance of having butterflies in the countryside ought to be concerned about the disruption to these functions provided by these species."

British Transport Police said there had been a 19% rise, from 108 incidents in 2014 to 128 last year.
The organisation said longer evenings and the summer holidays "spell danger" for young people, who are twice as likely to trespass this time of year than in winter.
Almost 170 young people have died in 10 years in the UK after trespassing.
Lynsey Slawson's sister Victoria Swift was killed by a train in Wrexham when she was 14.
She told BBC News: "I think a lot more needs doing because you're seeing it all the time.
"Kids need to realise it's not a place to be playing, at all.
"They think 'we've got time', they don't realise it's not like a car. They can't slam the brakes on like a car, it takes time for the train to stop.
"On that patch [where Victoria was killed] there's a bend, trains come round there, she's gone to run but it's too late. By the time she's realised it's there, it's there."
Tracey Young, of Network Rail Wales, said: "We are urging parents to remind their children that if they are on the railway, they are on dangerous ground.
"It may seem like a good idea to take a shortcut, or like fun to play on the tracks, but this is not only illegal, it is also dangerous.
Of those who died in the past decade, 72% were hit by a train, 17% were electrocuted and others fell from structures or trains. | A warning has been issued after figures showed rail trespass incidents in Wales have risen. | 36896331 | [

The Dutchman, 25, led 6-5 before racing to victory and the £60,000 first prize with five consecutive legs.
"This is a really big tournament to win and a difficult tournament too, so I'll enjoy this," said the world number one.
Wright defeated Phil Taylor at the quarter-final stage and whitewashed Stephen Bunting in the last four.
But the colourful 44-year-old from Mendham in Suffolk was unable to clinch his first major Professional Darts Corporation title, losing to van Gerwen, who also beat him in the 2014 World Championship final.
"It's been a long weekend and I think I ran out of energy in the final, and Michael was too good," said Scotland-born Wright.
"I'm really pleased to have got to the final though and I'm getting closer to a big TV title." | Michael van Gerwen has won the UK Open title for the first time in his career, beating Peter Wright 11-5 in the final in Minehead. | 31797288 | [

On Tuesday, the firm said that it would close the Ballymena factory by 2018, with the loss of 860 jobs.
The business support agency, Invest NI, has also said it will work with the company and others to help the staff.
Workers have been given time off after Tuesday's announcement and are due back in the factory on Thursday.
The Ballymena factory has been in operation since 1969 and is a major employer in the area.
Staff, union representatives and politicians have described the planned run-down of the plant as "devastating".
David Thompson from the union, Unite, said he was still waiting to hear from the Enterprise Minister, Jonathan Bell, after meeting him in July in relation to concerns around the future of the plant.
In response, Mr Bell said: "I've been speaking with people that are badly affected and what they're telling me is they're not interested in 'he said, she said' nonsense.
"I accept what David has said, it was a generalised meeting, we both accepted there is a major problem here, and we both accept that nothing we could have done from that meeting in July would have saved the Michelin plant. I want to meet with David, I want to meet with Unite, I want to meet with them constructively."
Stephen Kelly, from Manufacturing Northern Ireland, said the main factor for the closure is energy costs.
He said it was time for the executive to commit to a manufacturing strategy.
"Michelin made it really clear, the local management have not been behind the door in telling our local assembly and others that the energy issue was something that was hurting them enormously and what we've seen yesterday, unfortunately, is too little and too late, for Michelin to secure that plant for the next 20 years," he said.
Speaking in the Commons, Prime Minister David Cameron said companies deemed to be energy intensive should qualify for reductions in power bills due to his policies.
He was responding to a question from the DUP MP Nigel Dodds about the role energy prices played in the closure of the Michelin plant.
Mr Cameron also reminded MPs that legislation had been passed to enable Northern Ireland to set its own rate of corporation tax and that the sooner there was a political deal the sooner action could be taken to build a stronger private sector. | Politicians have said they will meet Michelin management within days to see how they can reduce the impact of the tyre factory closure in County Antrim. | 34718954 | [

Meanwhile, the big four of Djokovic, Federer, Nadal and Murray show no signs yet of retiring, while others such as Wawrinka, Berdych, and Nishikori also provide competition and excitement for fans and backers of the sport.
So it may come as something of a surprise to learn that ATP chief executive Chris Kermode, the man behind the continued upwards trajectory, is about to launch a major review looking ahead to what direction men's tennis should take from 2018 onwards.
"We will start the process in 2016, taking a hard look at the long term, and what the ATP stands for," he tells me.
"Can we offer a better service to players and tournaments? Can we do better in our marketing and promotion, and use social media and digital better?
"We will look at how we connect with our audiences, at our TV coverage, our structure of tournaments. Also how many should be in the calendar, and where they should be based? It will be a major work."
He says there are "five tennis stakeholders" to consider - players, tournaments, fans, sponsors and the media.
The ATP's review comes after another successful sell-out World Tour Finals at London's O2 Arena, where close to 263,000 fans watched the top eight players compete. It brought the overall attendance on the 2015 ATP World Tour season to an all-time record of 4.5 million fans (excluding Grand Slams).
Mr Kermode says some 15% to 20% of the ATP's annual revenue's annual revenues come from the end of year finals, so as an event it is "financially very important".
Now, the finals will stay in London until 2018, beyond the original 2016 deadline.
And Mr Kermode says that while other cities offered more money, they did not provide the profile - or "statement for tennis" - he says they currently enjoy at the O2.
The 50-year-old also says he has made a conscious effort to present the ATP finals in a different way to other London tournaments, Wimbledon and the Aegon at Queen's (where he used to be tournament director).
"We have made it an entertainment event as much as a sports event," says Mr Kermode.
World Tour Finals sponsor Barclays will pull out after the end of 2016, as it cuts back its sport sponsorship, but Mr Kermode says the ATP is confident of finding another big backer.
"The issue for us at present is whether we go for a two year sponsor deal around London, or a longer deal that is linked to London and another venue somewhere else," says the keen Neil Young music fan.
"We are talking to five companies as potential sponsors, and want to be quick in securing a deal."
The ATP has been boosted by the fact that in the past six months it has secured deals worth $160m (£106m) over the next five years.
These include a deal with Emirates, reportedly worth $50m, to replace beer brand Corona as an ATP World Tour sponsor. The airline's logo will replace those of the Mexican beverage on nets at events.
New deals have also been signed with Peugeot, Maui Jim Sunglasses, Indian IT services group Infosys, and Chinese online video business Letv.
Infosys has been given the task of crunching numbers and stats for tennis fans, and sports media, in the same way that IBM does at Wimbledon and SAP does for the WTA women's tour.
"In the US sports stats are of huge interest, historically less so in Europe," says Mr Kermode. "But many new-generation fans are interested in player statistics, and it is an area we want to focus on.
"The more knowledge we acquire about our sport, the more fans want it."
With the sponsorship tank nearly full, he says that there is still room to sign other player-focussed deals with firms providing things like medical services and applications, and fitness products.
Mr Kermode, who is approaching the last 12 months of his current three year term, says he is keen to stay on for another period in office, but that the final decision lies with the ATP board, not him.
One projected development he still wants to get off the ground is an end-of-year finals event for the top eight under-21 players in the world. Originally envisaged for the 2016 calendar, he now says that deadline may be looking tight.
"A final decision has still to be made," he says, but - whenever launched - it is envisaged the event will slot in between the Paris Masters in late October and ATP finals in London in mid-November.
As well as giving young players experience of high-level, pressurised, competition in the global spotlight, and thus increasing their ability to compete at the top ends of ATP events and Grand Slams, he also plans to use the event to innovate.
One of these proposed changes might be to the player warm-up, he says.
"We currently bring the players dramatically on court at the O2, as though they are coming out for a boxing match, which everyone finds very exciting, " he says.
"But then you get the player warm up, and things cool off for about 10 minutes. It does not matter if you are in the stadium, there is still that buzz, but it can be bit of a dampener for TV viewers."
Meanwhile, he remains sanguine about the day when the "Big Four" male players start retiring.
"Genuinely, I am not worried about it all," says Mr Kermode.
"It is like when you had the Borg and McEnroe era, then they retired and you had players like Becker, Agassi, and Edberg, coming through."
He points to players such as Nishikori ("huge in Asia") , Roanic ("that North American presence"), and Dimitrov ("still to fulfil his potential"), as well as youngsters such as Kyrgios and Coric.
"There is a great contrast in styles, and good geographical spread," he says. "Sport is a very simple business model, basically it is about caring about someone winning against someone else, and that will continue." | Men's professional tennis has enjoyed another high-powered year, with record attendances at the Association of Tennis Professionals' (ATP) World Finals in London last month, as well as a number of major new sponsor deals signed. | 34972475 | [

Fresh from Australia's success at Eurovision - when contestant Dami Im came in second - many Australian residents are about to cast a much more important vote on Europe and its future.
Anyone with a British passport who lives Down Under is eligible to participate in the UK's referendum on exiting the EU if they have registered to vote in the past 15 years.
With 1.2 million British nationals in Australia, and 250,000 in New Zealand, both the stay and leave camps are in full campaign mode half a world away from the UK. Southern hemisphere votes have the potential to swing the knife-edge referendum.
Posters supporting both sides have sprouted in areas popular with UK residents. In some locations, such as Perth, up to 15% of the population was born in England.
The referendum vote is optional. As a result there has been a strong campaign just urging voters to post their ballot slips back from Australia.
"Expat conversations swirl around it," says the Guardian's cartoonist David Squires. He is a household name in Britain, even though he migrated to Australia several years ago. "I'm just overloaded trying to work out the issues and the timing is woeful - the vote comes right after Eurovision, just before the Australian general election - and with all the noise of the US election too."
He feels that it's odd to have a postal vote when he has essentially left the UK behind. "I really shouldn't have a vote. I'm an ex-pat who has migrated - almost the opposite as to what the vote is about. It's great for comedy though."
Some expats have been incorrectly told they need to pay to return their postal vote, which uses the free International Business Reply Service (IBRS).
Post offices have asked for up to A$68 (£32) to courier votes. The UK's Electoral Commission told the BBC in a statement it was working closely with postal operators to correct misunderstandings.
Expats are also closely watching the sterling and the Australian dollar, among the world's most-traded and most-volatile currency pairs. The value of the pound has recently veered between A$1.50 and A$3. At its last meeting the Reserve Bank of Australia deferred changing interest rates ahead of the Brexit vote, calling it a "near-term risk" with considerable implications for the Australian dollar.
"Sterling could take a pounding with a Brexit," confirms Australian business commentator Ross Greenwood. He has spoken to many business leaders in the UK about the impact of a Brexit.
"Mind you, the pound dropping would make the UK's exports more competitive, giving a boon to UK tourism. Aussies would queue at Kingsford Smith [Sydney's airport] keen to get a cheap trip back," he says.
"Hundreds of Australian companies are champing at the bit to get access to Britain. They want a UK Free Trade Agreement on much better terms than Europe.
"Many farmers have been enviously eyeing up their traditional British market for Australian milk, beef and wool. It would build an economic relationship that used to be the cornerstone of the Australian and British partnership."
However, he thinks Australian banks would be very cautious. "Australia's NAB had an ill-fated adventure into UK regional banking, losing millions on Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank. Once bitten, they'd fight shy of jumping in feet-first again."
Although the UK might eye-up Australia, he says, "Down Under is linked now to Korea, Japan and the US. But make no mistake; a newly independent UK would be welcomed with open arms by trade delegations from Canberra."
However, Annmarie Elijah, from the ANU Centre for European Studies, urges caution. "The UK and Australia cannot dig the UK-Australia Trade Agreement [UKATA] out of the bottom drawer, dust it off and carry on."
Creating a new trade agreement would take time. "There is no reason to think that Australia would be top of the UK's prospective trade partners."
Far more British expats live Down Under than elsewhere in the world. Only Spain, with 760,000, and the United States at 600,000 come close. As such they will wield considerable influence over whether the UK stays in the EU.
And Ross Greenwood, whose parents are from the UK, says one other thing might change with a Brexit - the EU passport queues. "It might also heal the small hurt that Aussies of British parentage feel, when they have to queue in the non-UK, non-EU passport line at Heathrow." | Australians sending in postal votes for the upcoming UK referendum on European Union membership could have considerable influence on the result, writes Julian Lorkin. | 36573622 | [

The new bill, which would affect digital maps from Google, Apple, and Uber, is facing stiff opposition from campaign groups.
It also bans "wrong" information, including disputed international borders.
The government said the rules would not create barriers to business if the bill became law.
The bill bans all types of geospatial information, maps, raw data or photographs, acquired by any means, including satellite photography.
Offenders could be fined up to 1bn rupees (£10.4m).
It also requires anyone who has already gathered such information to apply for a licence to keep it.
It was designed to regulate both the creation and distribution of geospatial information in India "which is likely to affect the security, sovereignty and integrity" of the country, the Ministry of Home Affairs said.
Critics say the definition of geospatial data is so wide it could include printed maps, world atlases, or depictions of the country in international magazines imported to India.
The proposed law is likely to cause problems for Apple and Google's map products, as well as services offering "value added" geolocation services, such as taxi-hailing app Uber.
It is also unclear if companies such as Google would have to go through a separate vetting process every time they updated their satellite imagery - a process that takes up to three months.
There is an exemption for government agencies and departments.
Google already offers slightly altered versions of its maps inside India, eliminating the Line of Control that divides Indian-controlled and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir and locating the whole disputed region within India's borders.
Both Google and Uber declined to comment.
The laws extend beyond large international companies.
Anyone creating, distributing, or owning unsanctioned maps must apply to a government agency for a licence, and submit the material for inspection.
The geospatial data will then be considered by a security vetting committee, which will decide if the applicant is granted a licence.
Once the material is cleared, it must be watermarked with the insignia of the vetting authority.
"It's only a draft proposal before the country," the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju, said in a tweet. "I would appeal not to pass hasty judgment, but put up your suggestions."
Speaking to the Economic Times, he said: "It is a general concern being raised that India as a responsible country must have provisions to secure its boundary and territory.
"That is why the bill is necessary.
"It is not a question of sending a message to any firm or company - but it is a question of addressing our own security concern."
In a country where the number of people owning a mobile phone is rocketing, providing online maps is a big and growing business.
If this bill goes through, no-one, from Google to the smallest business, will be able to run their map services in India without a licence.
The government will control how anyone uses online maps.
When I want to book a cab using a taxi app service, I'm sharing my location with the service to find a cab.
The driver uses a map to navigate.
When I take a picture and upload it with metadata, I'm creating mapping information that would require a licence.
A growing protest online, with the hashtag "#savethemap", claims the bill won't just hurt individuals, but also small businesses.
Campaigner Sumandro Chattapadhyay says companies such as Uber and Google will survive by getting all their maps vetted by the government.
"But smaller companies have no means to know what kind of geospatial information they can store and what they cannot," she says.
"Moreover, if a start-up requires three months to get approvals for your data before you can use it, it'll be as good as dead."
The bill also bans the publication of such material outside the country, and is designed to apply to citizens of India living and working in other countries, explicitly stating offenders outside India will be subject to the same penalties.
"This act needs to be dropped," said managing editor Arup Dasgupta, in a post on Geospatial World magazine's website.
"This act does not, in fact cannot, even begin to comprehend the paradigm shift in geospatial technologies which makes it a non-starter.
"India does need a geospatial information act, but it has to be an enabling and encouraging act that makes for faster and better implementation of programmes, not a regressive and punitive act as the proposed one," he said.
The bill is still in the draft stage, and government is inviting submissions on it until 4 June. | India is introducing legislation to ban maps or satellite images of the country unless they are approved by government. | 36276754 | [

Researchers followed nearly 240,000 Swedish men for 35 years.
The analysis, published in the journal Gut, showed overweight teenagers went on to have twice the risk of bowel cancer. The figures were even higher in obese teens.
The World Cancer Research Fund said the link between obesity and cancer was "strong".
Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the world, with nearly 1.4 million new cases each year.
Processed red meat and abdominal fat have been linked to the disease.
The participants in the study were aged between 16 and 20 at the start.
The overwhelming majority were a normal weight, but 6.5% were overweight and 1% were obese.
There were 855 cases of colorectal cancer in the study.
However, the results showed not all weights were affected equally.
Those who were obese were 2.38 times more likely to have developed a bowel tumour.
The study, led by Orebro University Hospital in Sweden and Harvard University, said: "Late adolescence marks the transition from childhood to adulthood and is a period of accelerated growth, especially among men, thus this period may represent a critical window."
"It is important that we understand the role of exposures in childhood and adolescence in the development of colorectal cancer.
"In fact, the strong association observed between adolescent obesity and early-to-mid-life colorectal cancer, coupled with the increasing prevalence of adolescent obesity, may shed light on the increase in colorectal cancer incidence among young adults," he added.
Rachel Thompson, from the World Cancer Research Fund, said the evidence suggested that obesity was a risk factor for bowel cancer.
"This finding is interesting because it gives an indication that bowel cancer risk might be affected by our lifestyle habits throughout the life course," she said.
"In some ways, research into the relationship between factors like obesity and cancer risk is still in its infancy.
"It will be interesting to see if further research emerges in the future to back up the apparent relationship between body fatness in youth and later-life cancer risk." | Being overweight in adolescence is linked to a greater risk of bowel cancer later in life, a study suggests. | 32849977 | [

He told a memorial service in the city the US must "try to find some meaning amidst our sorrow" and could unite.
His trip came amid mounting racial tensions across the country.
Micah Johnson killed the Dallas officers at a protest held over the recent police shootings of African Americans in Minnesota and Louisiana.
Before he was killed by police, he said he was angry about the shootings.
Meanwhile, protests over excessive police force against black Americans have been held in cities across the US.
But speaking at Morton H Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas on Tuesday, Mr Obama urged the country not to despair.
Americans are struggling with what has happened in the past week, he said, and events appeared to have revealed "the deepest fault line of our democracy".
"I'm here to say we must reject such despair. I'm here to insist that we are not as divided as we seem."
He honoured the bravery of police officers and said fewer people were being mourned at the service because of the courage of the officers killed.

The service featured five portraits of the officers and five empty chairs.
Ex-President George W Bush, a Texan, praised the police: "Their courage is our protection and shield."
And Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, who spoke first, said: "The soul of our city was pierced."
First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, will also hold a private meeting with the families of the victims on Wednesday.
The US has been on edge in the wake of the recent string of violence, with protests over police reform and race relations roiling across the country.
And Mr Obama has been criticised for not doing enough to support the police, many of whom say they feel under attack because of the protests and criticism.
Mr Obama and Mr Biden on Monday met with law enforcement officials to discuss police reform and how to repair relations between police officers and the communities they protect.
The president, who cut short a trip to Europe over the recent violence, is expected to host a similar meeting on Wednesday in Dallas with law enforcement as well as local leaders and activists. | President Barack Obama has urged the US to "reject despair" as he paid tribute to five police officers killed during a deadly sniper attack in Dallas. | 36776349 | [

Parling, 31, has won 21 international caps, and played all three Tests for the British & Irish Lions in 2013.
Woodburn, 23, has scored 11 tries since making his Bath debut four years ago.
"We've slowly looked to add quality and experience to the squad since coming into the Premiership and that's what Geoff does," said coach Rob Baxter.
"There's no secret that this season we have looked a bit light in the second-row department and Geoff is a proven international performer."
Parling started his career with Newcastle Falcons before joining Leicester in 2009.
He has been part of a Tigers squad that won the Premiership in 2010 and 2013, as well as the Anglo-Welsh Cup in 2012.
"He adds great experience in running things like the line-out, has good leadership experience and all those things add up to it being a very good signing for us," added Baxter.
"I'm expecting him to have a very positive influence on and off the pitch in how he helps the team prepare for big games."
Woodburn, meanwhile, is on the less experienced end of the scale, having spent some of last season out on loan at Championship side Nottingham.
"With we knew we had to recruit some players in the back three and Olly is a good age with decent Premiership experience," said Baxter. | Exeter Chiefs have signed England lock Geoff Parling from Leicester Tigers and Bath wing Olly Woodburn for next season on two-year contracts. | 31024577 | [

On Saturday, James Brokenshire became the first secretary of state to attend a gaelic football match in Northern Ireland.
It is understood he was in the stadium's control room when the anthem was played.
The Northern Ireland Office said he attended "in the spirit of friendship".
However, A County Armagh Labour MP said Mr Brokenshire had "snubbed" the anthem.
"I think that's quite a regressive step," Conor McGinn told BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"I'm confused and bemused by it and I've asked him to clarify why he did it."
Mr McGinn said he understood Mr Brokenshire arranged it so "he wouldn't be present to take his seat" when the anthem was played before the McKenna Cup final.
"Four years ago Her Majesty The Queen visited Dublin and Croke Park, we've since had a reciprocal visit from the Irish president where both anthems were played with mutual respect, were attended by the taoiseach (Irish prime minister), the prime minister, other ministers.
"So what I want to find out is: Is this a change of protocol and why Mr Brokenshire didn't observe the normal courtesies and protocols around the playing of the national anthem?"
In 2012, then first minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson attended the McKenna Cup final, his first GAA match.
Mr Robinson also took his seat just before the game began after the anthem was played.
In 2011, then sports minister Carál Ní Chuilín became the first senior Sinn Féin member to attend a Northern Ireland international football match. She also did not take her seat until after God Save the Queen was played.
Mr McGinn said he was "not naive" about the feelings of unionist or nationalist politicians, but that Mr Brokenshire is a "UK government minister".
"James Brokenshire should be there as the secretary of state for Northern Ireland, a co-guarantor of the (Good Friday) agreement and someone who is above the fray, in a sense.
"He should observe proper respect and protocols for the Irish national anthem, in the way that I would expect the Irish foreign minister to observe the protocols of the UK national anthem."
A spokesperson for the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) said Mr Brokenshire was "delighted" to attend the match and he "did so in the spirit of friendship".
"Saturday night was about sport, not politics," the spokesperson added.
Speaking about the match on Saturday, Mr Brokenshire said he had received an "absolutely incredible" welcome. | The Secretary of State has been criticised after it emerged he took his seat at a GAA game after the playing of the Irish national anthem. | 38796711 | [

Gen Christophe Gomart told a parliamentary commission in May that a "partner agency" warned of the plot by a Brazilian Islamist militant.
No further details were given.
Gen Gomart made his comments at a commission hearing into last year's attacks in Paris. The transcript of the hearing has just been made public.
Brazil's institutional security cabinet - which oversees the country's information services - told the AFP news agency it had received no information about the threat from the French authorities.
"We were not the source of information and the Brazilian intelligence agency (ABIN) was not officially informed either of this matter," a spokesman said.
In July, Brazilian Justice Minister Alexandre Moraes said a jihadist attack in Rio during the Olympics was a "possibility" but "not a probability".
About 85,000 security force members including 47,000 policemen and 38,000 soldiers will be on duty to ensure the safety of 10,500 athletes and officials, journalists and tourists from around the world who will be expected to attend the 5-21 August Games.
A spokesman for a special secretariat at Brazil's Justice Ministry - which is spearheading security efforts for the Olympics - said that Brazilian officials and their foreign partners have increasingly been monitoring communications between suspected sympathisers of radical groups.
They have said that the biggest worry is not a co-ordinated attack but a lone actor or group targeting the event.
On Tuesday the federal government said it was releasing additional funding to beef up security ahead of the Olympics.
Brazil's Sports Minister Leonardo Picciani said the armed forces would get an extra $24m (£18m) to help them meet security needs. | France was informed of a planned terror attack on its team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the head of French military intelligence has said. | 36791664 | [

The 34-year-old finished the gruelling 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run in nine hours, 15 minutes and 54 seconds.
She was just over a minute clear of Switzerland's Caroline Steffen.
It was Cave's second world title of the year after victory in the Half Ironman World Championship last month.
"I'm kind of speechless," said Cave, who finished third behind fellow Briton Chrissie Wellington and Australian Mirinda Carfrae in 2011.
"I just hope they don't come out with another distance. I'm getting too old for this."
Britain's Rachel Joyce finished 11th in 9:40:16, while double Olympic medallist Rebecca Romero, who took up Ironman after retiring from cycling, came home in 11:39:08.
Cave was always in contention at the front of the field, exiting the swim in fourth and the bike in third, then pulling clear of Australian rival Carfrae on the run before overhauling Steffen.
Australia's Pete Jacobs won the men's event, beating Germany's Andreas Raelert by more than four minutes. | Britain's Leanda Cave pulled away in the last three miles of the run to win the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. | 19940336 | [

Landlords who let properties to more than three unrelated people need to apply for a licence for a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO).
But many are put off - because a licence can cost ??1,000 - despite facing a fine of up to ??20,000, Southampton City Council said.
The authority estimated a total of 1,500 unlicensed HMOs in the area.
Shelter helpline adviser Nadeem Khan said fear of eviction and living in poorly maintained properties are frequent concerns raised by HMO tenants.
"Because of the huge shortage of affordable homes people are being forced into rented homes which are unregulated. We receive about five or six calls a day about this," he said.
Nationally, mandatory licensing for HMOs is aimed at houses of three storeys or more and occupied by five or more unrelated people.
In Southampton, the licences affect properties in Bargate, Bevois, Portswood, Swaythling (Designation 1 - introduced in 2013) and in Shirley Freemantle, Millbrook, and Bassett (Designation 2 - introduced in 2015).
A council spokesman said: "Landlords have generally co-operated with the regime, but a small minority have resisted applying for their licence."
The council said it had so far gained prosecutions against one firm and 13 individuals. | Tenants in Southampton may face eviction because landlords are holding incorrect paperwork, Shelter claims. | 36964876 | [

Monitor said the probe into the Christie NHS Foundation Trust was over concerns about governance and was not over allegations relating to suspended chief executive Caroline Shaw.
Chairman Lord Bradley announced he was resigning from the trust on Friday.
The Christie Hospital said in a statement: "There will be no further comment or interviews."
Monitor said it was examining whether the trust had breached its licence to provide healthcare services by failing "the principles of good governance".
It said there were concerns the board of the trust had "not adhered to the required corporate governance standards".
John Leech, Liberal Democrat MP for Manchester Withington, described the management situation at the hospital as "a mess" following Lord Bradley's resignation.
Lord Bradley said he would leave the trust as soon as a replacement could be found.
Ms Shaw was suspended in November as part of a disciplinary investigation.
Monitor said it will announce the outcome of its regulatory investigation "in due course".
The Christie in Withington said it is the largest cancer centre in Europe and treats more than 40,000 patients a year. | A cancer treatment hospital in Greater Manchester is being investigated by the health regulator. | 26490670 | [

In a leaked letter, Mr Skates said he was informed this was because of the current level of investment.
He meets Network Rail officials on Thursday after describing conditions for rail passengers as "unacceptable".
Network Rail said it was committed to working with the Welsh Government to get value for taxpayers' money.
Mr Skates has accused the company - which maintains tracks across the UK - of a lack of investment in clearing leaves this autumn, which cause damage to train wheels because of the extra braking pressure required.
He believes this has led to over-crowding and reduced punctuality of services as it forces more rolling stock to be removed from routes.
Arriva Trains Wales said 54 out of its fleet of 127 have had to be taken away for repairs this autumn - an increase of 54% on the same period last year.
In the letter seen by BBC Wales, sent last month to Network Rail's route managing director Andy Thomas, Mr Skates said Arriva Trains Wales raised concerns about the level of work being carried out to clear leaves from the lines.
He wrote: "I have been informed that Network Rail responded that this was due to budgetary reasons and that at the current level of investment it would take 28 years to get the Welsh network up to the prescribed standard."
A Network Rail spokesman said: "We have jointly concluded with Arriva Trains Wales that the reduction in fleet availability cannot be solely related to Network Rail's autumn plan as we are increasing spend and activity.
"We are committed to working jointly with Arriva Trains Wales and the Welsh Government to ensure maximum value for taxpayers' money."
In a debate at the Senedd on Wednesday, Plaid Cymru's economy spokesman Adam Price described current conditions for Welsh rail passengers as a "national crisis".
He referred to three examples on social media yesterday in which one passenger told of his experience of a train catching fire, one had been on an overcrowded service where a passenger fainted, and another claimed to have a seat for the first time in 11 months.
An Arriva Trains Wales spokesman denied one of its trains had caught fire, instead saying there was a problem with an exhaust.
He said: "We understand and apologise for the frustrations around the capacity issues faced by commuters which has been made worse recently by the additional maintenance required on damaged train wheels caused by the autumn leaf-fall.
"We continue to work hard with our partners in Network Rail to reduce the impact of this issue." | Network Rail believes it will take 28 years to get the Welsh rail system up to standard, Economy Secretary Ken Skates has been told. | 38225995 | [

The robot sucked the air into its big Sample Analysis at Mars (Sam) instrument to reveal the concentration of different gases.
The Sam analysis is ongoing but no major surprises are expected at this stage - carbon dioxide will dominate.
CO2 is the chief component of the Martian air, as found by the Viking probes in the 1970s and the Phoenix lander in 2008.
Of keener interest will be whether a signal for methane has been detected by Curiosity.
The gas has recently been observed by satellite and by Earth telescopes, and its presence on the Red Planet is intriguing.
Methane should be short-lived and its persistence suggests a replenishing source of some kind - either biological or geochemical. It is hoped Sam can shed light on the issue.
The results from this first test could be announced next week, said Curiosity deputy principal scientist Joy Crisp, but she cautioned that it would be some time before definitive statements could be made about the status of methane on Mars.
"When Sam is at its best it can measure various parts per trillion of methane, and the expected amounts based on measurements taken from orbit around Mars and from Earth telescopes should be in the 10 to a few 10s of parts per billion," she told reporters.
"But it's so early in the use of Sam, which is a complicated instrument, and we have to sort through the data."
Curiosity - also known as the Mars Science Laboratory, MSL - has now driven more than 100m from the location on the floor of Gale Crater where it landed a month ago.
A new picture from the overflying Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft shows its progress.
"You can see the rover with the white deck on top and the black wheels, and you can see our tracks behind us," explained mission manager Mike Watkins.
"We're about a football field or so away from the touch-down point - from Bradbury Landing."
Curiosity is heading to a point dubbed Glenelg by scientists.
This is about 300m further to the east from its current position. Satellite pictures point to Glenelg being an intersection of three distinct types of rock terrain. Researchers think it will be a good place to start to characterise the geology of Gale Crater.
The rover's arrival at the junction is still some weeks away, however.
Engineers have parked the vehicle for a few days to practise using the 2m-long robotic arm. This carries a 30kg tool turret on its end and the mission team needs to learn how to move the device in the weaker gravity conditions that exist on Mars.
"Mars has about 38% of Earth gravity," said Matt Robinson, the lead engineer on Curiosity's arm.
"Under Earth gravity, the arm sags to a certain position. On Mars, if you were to command the arm to the exact same joint angles, the turret would be at a higher position than it was on Earth.
"To compensate, we have flight software that does the mathematics to position the arm lower to recreate the exact same pose of the turret with respect to the hardware on the rover.
"So a big part of this exercise is to verify that flight software is doing that compensation properly," he told BBC News.
Once the arm check-out is done, Curiosity will pick up the pace to get to Glenelg.
En route, the rover will watch for an early opportunity to test its turret instruments on a rock.
This will involve putting the "hand lens" known as Mahli (Mars Hand Lens Imager) close to the test object.
Mahli is essentially a close-up camera that can resolve rock minerals down to the size of a grain of talcum powder.
The other turret instrument engineers want to see in action is APXS, an X-ray spectrometer that can determine the abundance of chemical elements in rocks.
Also in line to make its debut soon is the turret's scoop mechanism (Collection and Handling for Interior Martian Rock Analysis, or Chimra). The robot arm will pick up a sample of soil and deliver it to the labs inside the rover body for analysis.

So who are the other six?
Carolyn McCall joined the budget airline from Guardian Media Group in 2010. She was made a Dame in the New Year Honours list this year for her work in the aviation industry. Under her, the company entered the FTSE 100 for the first time.
Profits at the airline rose for five years in a row and last September it made a record £681m. This year, however, has been more turbulent, with the company posting a half-year loss of £24m, hurt by the fall in the pound.
Veronique Laury was considered a surprise choice to head the home improvement chain when she took over from Ian Cheshire in December 2014. She had been at the business 11 years and led the French DIY chain Castorama.
According to an interview in the Financial Times, she has renovated at least two houses and is a keen gardener and painter.
Liv Garfield was just 38 when she became chief executive of the water firm Severn Trent in 2014. Before that she was head of BT Openreach, where, according to her online biography, she spearheaded and oversaw the commercial roll-out of fibre broadband to two thirds of the country.
Alison Cooper has been head of the Bristol-based cigarette firm Imperial Brands for more than six years, having first joined in 1999.
Last year she oversaw a $7.1bn expansion into the US with the purchase of brands including Winston, Maverick, Kool, Salem and e-cigarette brand blu. According to an interview in the Evening Standard, she is a cigar smoker and also a keen singer.
Moya Greene was named as chief executive of Royal Mail in 2010 - coming from the top job at Canada Post. She oversaw the company's £3.3bn privatisation in 2013 and has been described as "relentless, a force of nature, a tough lady".
She'll need that to help get Royal Mail back on track - earlier this year it reported a 33% fall in annual profits as it faces increasing competition.
Alison joined Whitbread - owner of Premier Inns and Costa Coffee - in January this year, having forged her career in banking - most recently at from Lloyds Banking Group, where she was head of their retail division.
She told the Daily Mail earlier this year that she stays in Premier Inns when she travels and that "we are definitely short of female CEOs. Clearly there is work to do there". | GSK has just announced Emma Walmsley will be its next chief executive taking the total of women running FTSE 100 companies to seven. | 37419896 | [

Juventus face Real Madrid in Saturday's sell-out game at Cardiff's renamed National Stadium of Wales.
Grange Gardens in Grangetown was chosen for the pitch by UEFA, Cardiff council and the Football Association of Wales.
Wales legend Ian Rush praised the facility, saying it would help get more kids into football.
The 2017 UEFA Champions League final ambassador said it was important to have facilities in the inner city to give young people the "best chance possible".
He added: "Somewhere like this you go in with a positive, but where you've got muddy pitches and all that, you go in with a negative."
Rush said the next big football superstar could come from the area, adding: "We all came from places like this but unfortunately we didn't have these facilities." | A new five-a-side pitch has been unveiled in Cardiff to create a "lasting legacy" after the Champions League Final. | 40133216 | [

Danny Rose scored twice for the Stags to inflict a sixth successive defeat on the home side.
Rose gave the Stags the lead after four minutes when he drilled a low shot past Barry Roche from 12 yards.
The Shrimps were level three minutes later after a mistake in the Mansfield defence. Roche's long clearance was not dealt with by Rhys Bennett and Paul Mullin took advantage to run on goal and stroke the ball calmly past the helpless Jake Kean.
The visitors then took advantage of some sloppy defending at the other end to regain the lead after 33 minutes when Rose profited from a mistake from Michael Rose to beat Roche from 12 yards as the ball somehow squirmed under the keeper's body.
The Stags then added a third after 39 minutes through another swift counter attack.
Shaquile Coulthirst did well to hold the ball up and delivered the perfect pass for Ben Whiteman to slide the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the goal from the edge of the area.
The Shrimps started the second half sharply with Aaron Wildig forcing Kean into a good save just seconds after the restart.
From there Mansfield were happy to soak up pressure and hit Morecambe on the break, with Danny Rose denied his hat-trick by a superb save from Roche with 51 minutes gone.

The scoring began in the fourth minute when Darren Carter's dummy set up Keanu Marsh-Brown to put Rovers ahead but Dan Sparkes then netted twice in seven minutes for the visitors, with David Fitzpatrick providing both assists.
Rovers quickly levelled through Marsh-Brown's second of the game but Torquay, 4-3 winners on Boxing Day, were back in front at half-time after Aman Verma headed in Fitzpatrick's free-kick.
Another Fitzpatrick cross then resulted in Ethan Pinnock putting into his own net to double Torquay's lead five minutes into the second half.
Christian Doidge gave Rovers hope in the 62nd minute after Torquay failed to deal with Dale Bennett's cross but Fitzpatrick then grabbed the goal he deserved with a stunning free-kick from 25 yards to seemingly seal the win.
Rovers stormed back in the closing stages though, with Doidge pouncing from close range after Elliott Frear's shot was parried before Torquay goalkeeper Brendan Moore pushed the ball into his own goal to gift Rovers an 88th-minute equaliser. The hosts almost snatched a dramatic winner in stoppage time as Doidge headed a corner against the crossbar.

Cycling's governing body the UCI found the 19-year-old's spare bike contained a motor at January's Cyclo-cross World Championships in Belgium.
Van den Driessche has also been fined 20,000 Swiss francs (£14,000) and been ordered to pay legal costs.
The former European Under-23 champion must also return all her medals.
The result of the World Championship race, the women's under-23 race won by Great Britain's Evie Richards, is not affected.
Scanning of bikes in UCI competitions has been introduced in recent years, but Van den Driessche's was the first found to contain a concealed motor.
There were 274 bikes scanned at the Track Cycling World Championships in London in March.

UCI regulations, which were recently strengthened, state that a rider is given a minimum suspension of six months and a fine of up to 200,000 Swiss francs (£141,000) for an offence of "technological fraud", while coaches, mechanics and other officials could also be sanctioned.
Van den Driessche was competing during the women's under-23 race at the Cyclo-cross World Championships. The motor was hidden, along with a battery, in the tube below the saddle. It was controlled by a Bluetooth switch installed underneath the handlebar tape.
She has denied suggestions she deliberately cheated, saying the bike was not hers.
"It was my friend's and was identical to mine. This friend went around the course Saturday before dropping off the bike in the truck. A mechanic, thinking it was my bike, cleaned it and prepared it for my race," she told Belgian television in January. | Belgian rider Femke van den Driessche has been suspended for six years in the first proven case of mechanical doping in cycling. | 36142963 | [

Fly-half Sexton and flanker O'Brien have both recovered from calf injuries and should be available at Murrayfield.
Sexton was injured against Castres on 20 January but is said to be "feeling very positive" about his recovery.
However, uncapped Munster wing Andrew Conway has been ruled out after aggravating an existing groin problem.
Ireland playmaker Sexton has the chance to cement his starting spot, provided he comes through Tuesday's session.
Ulster's Paddy Jackson will start for Joe Schmidt's side if the Leinster star is ruled out while Munster's Ian Keatley has joined the squad as cover for the time being.
"Johnny's making good progress and he's back on track to train on Tuesday," said Ireland team manager Paul Dean.
"I think everything is fine, he's being very positive about it."
O'Brien has completed the rehabilitation on his calf issue and was expected to take full part in Monday afternoon's training session.
Full-back Rob Kearney says Ireland remain unfazed by his Leinster team-mate Sexton's latest quest for full fitness.
Sexton battled hamstring trouble before the turn of the year, with this calf problem proving yet another unwanted hurdle.
Kearney labelled injury doubts "par for the course" in any Test week, then tipped Sexton's understudy Jackson to thrive if pressed into service from the start in Scotland.
"We're all so used to it now," said Kearney, of general battles for fitness.
"On a weekly basis, more often than not, there's someone going in or out.
"Someone picks up a niggle or they're not fully fit, so the coach doesn't risk them. The way Test rugby is now, it's par for the course.
"Paddy [Jackson] has been there all last week running the plays. He's more than equipped and he's got a week head-start." | Ireland pair Jonathan Sexton and Sean O'Brien are set to resume full training after injury before Saturday's Six Nations opener against Scotland. | 38800280 | [

Murray accused Glasgow of targeting him in Munster's recent European game and Scotland skipper Greig Laidlaw has promised more of the same on Saturday.
But Stander, 26, believes an effective Irish display will negate the issue.
"We know what we have to do. Make the ball available for him. He's a big man. Conor can look after himself," he said.
Asked whether Ireland will plan extra protection for his Munster colleague, Stander replied: "No. No. He is a player that looks after himself. We just need to get the ball back from the ruck and make it easier for him to get the ball and let him play his game.
Scrum-half Murray, 27, claimed the Scottish club had put him at risk of injury in the European Champions Cup game at Scotstoun on 14 January.
Murray took a blow to the head during the contest and Munster were later cleared of any wrongdoing by Champions Cup organisers after the scrum-half had initially returned to the field following the incident before undergoing a head injury assessment.
In response, the Warriors' coaching staff and players were adamant that their tactics, while robust, were firmly within the laws of the game.
Scotland scrum-half Laidlaw stuck firmly to this line at a news conference on Tuesday.
Laidlaw said: "Glasgow did everything within the rules of the game. As a nine you are always going to get teams putting pressure on you.

"In that game, Glasgow got a charge down on him but they were trying to get the ball back - they weren't trying to deliberately injure the player.
"Will we be putting pressure on him? For sure we will. He's not going to come to Murrayfield and get an armchair ride.
"We need to do that to every Irish player but we can expect the same back, I'm sure."
For his part, Stander believes the Munster pack "let down" Murray at Scotstoun but he appears confident that there will not be a repetition at Murrayfield.
"We didn't look after him as much as we could [at Scotstoun]. This weekend, we all have to concentrate on our job. We know what we have to do." | Ireland flanker CJ Stander says scrum-half Conor Murray will not need special protection in Saturday's Six Nations opener against Scotland at Murrayfield. | 38826384 | [

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, is charged with 30 counts related to the bombings, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 in April 2013.
As part of the prosecution's summing up, medical examiners gave graphic details of the injuries suffered by those who died in the attack.
Mr Tsarnaev could face the death penalty if found guilty.
Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner Henry Nields testified that the youngest victim of the attacks, eight-year-old Martin Richard, received injuries to every part of his body.
The testimony was illustrated by autopsy photos and the child's bloody, torn clothing.
Mr Nields said one piece of shrapnel appeared to have gone straight through Richard's body.
"It would be difficult to say the precise location due to the size of the openings in the abdomen," he testified, according to Reuters.
The defence began calling its own witnesses later on Monday.
Earlier in the trial, the defence made the surprise admission that Mr Tsarnaev had participated in the attacks.
But defence lawyers argue that his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, had been the driving force behind the attacks. By doing so they hope to spare their client the death penalty.
Mr Tsarnaev is charged with 30 counts related to the bombings. The brothers set off a pair of homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the race's crowded finish line.
Mr Tsarnaev is also accused of fatally shooting a police officer three days later.
The prosecution says Mr Tsarnaev, who emigrated with his family from Chechnya, had extremist views and wanted to hit back at the US in revenge for military action in Muslim countries. | The prosecution has rested its case in the trial of a man accused of carrying out the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. | 32116410 | [

The company saw gross bookings of $11.2bn, up 49% on 2014, with visitors to the website up 48%. On average, 50m people used the website each month.
Company founder and chief executive Gareth Williams said the company had seen "excellent growth".
He said: "2015 was another strong year for Skyscanner, showing solid progress in our strategy of expansion beyond our home market, into mobile and beyond flights.
"Our first-half focus on investing in our product drove momentum for the business in the second half. We also saw excellent growth in travellers planning their trips on Skyscanner all around the world, especially on mobile and in the important regions of Asia Pacific and the Americas."
The Edinburgh-based company saw a rise in the number of people using its mobile app, with 40m downloads and an increase of 24% in mobile bookings.
Particular growth was recorded in the Asia-Pacific region, while visits in China were up 67% after Skyscanner bought a Chinese search firm in 2014.

The hosts saw left-back Alex Telles dismissed after two bookings in a 74-second spell, the second after a wild sliding tackle on Stephan Lichtsteiner on 27 minutes.
His side spent long spells in their own half and survived a Paulo Dybala strike against the post before the interval.
But Juve - who had 77% possession - broke through when Pjaca drove low into the net five minutes after coming on and Alves finished from six yards 80 seconds after his own introduction.
The goals ensured Juve's fourth successive 2-0 win on the road in all competitions and their advantage now looks huge ahead of the return on 14 March. Other than a penalty shootout defeat to Inter Milan in December, the last time the Old Lady lost on home soil was in August 2015.
In Porto the Italian side were bettering possession when Telles lost control, first fouling Juan Cuadrado before hacking Lichtsteiner down with no apparent danger. The left-back was clearly emotional as he walked to the tunnel with his shirt covering much of his face.
It allowed Juve to totally dominate, though Nuno Espírito Santo's side improved after the break and looked like they may hold out, deploying a compact 4-4-1 formation to stifle the Serie A leaders.
But with the game in its final quarter, Pjaca benefited from a ricochet off Miguel Layun - who came on at left-back after Telles' dismissal - to slam his first goal since joining the club in July past Iker Casillas.
Alves chested down Alex Sandro's delivery and hooked in on 74 minutes to tighten Juve's grip. Massimiliano Allegri's side hold a seven-point lead at the summit of Italy's top tier and remain undefeated in the Champions League, increasing their hopes of a first win in the competition since 1996.
Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira: "I think we can be happy tonight. It's a really good result. After the red card we had to win this game. We played 90 minutes with control and patience.
"We are happy for tonight but in three weeks we have to be very careful for the game because now they are angry. We know football is crazy, anything can happen.
"Sometimes you have a feeling and this year I have a really good feeling."
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri: "This team still has plenty of room for improvement but the lads showed great maturity tonight. "We're entering a crucial period of the season and we need to approach it with enthusiasm, determination and be as clinical as possible.
"But we can't believe 2-0 is enough to see us through. We have to broach the return as if it's still nil-nil."

The Alabama Securities Commission led the investigation, which helps prevent financial fraud against the elderly.
After an agent interviewed Lee, the commission's head said he was satisfied she wanted a second book published.
The new work - Go Set a Watchman - will be the 88-year-old American author's first release since the 1960s.
The surprise move prompted some suggestions Lee was manipulated into publishing the decades-old manuscript, which was discovered by her lawyer in the author's possessions last year.
"We closed the file. Let's just say that she was able to answer questions we asked to our satisfaction from our point of view,'' said Joseph Borg, Alabama Securities Commission director.
The New York Times reported that the investigation was sparked by requests from a doctor that the state investigate whether Lee was capable to have consented to the release of the work.
Lee herself was "extremely hurt" by allegations she was manipulated, her lawyer Tonja Carter said.
To Kill a Mockingbird was published in July 1960 and has sold more than 40 million copies around the world.
Go Set a Watchman was written before To Kill A Mockingbird, and features many of the same characters, with an adult Scout Finch returning to her native Alabama from New York to visit her father. | US investigators have closed an inquiry into whether To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee was pressured into publishing a sequel. | 31864223 | [

Earlier this month, a series of character posters and the film's trailer provoked uproar on social media for their predominantly white cast.
Last week both the film's director, Alex Proyas, and studio, Lionsgate, apologised for the offence.
Proyas said it was clear "casting choices should have been more diverse".
The action movie - due to be released early next year - sees white actors such as Gerard Butler, Rufus Sewell and Geoffrey Rush take centre stage in a film about warring Egyptian gods.
The publicity material prompted actress Bette Midler to tweet: "Movie, #GodsOfEgypt in which everyone is white? Egyptians, in history and today, have NEVER been white. BRING BACK GEOGRAPHY!! It's Africa!"
'Failure'
"We recognise that it is our responsibility to help ensure that casting decisions reflect the diversity and culture of the time periods portrayed," wrote Lionsgate in an official statement, released on Friday.
"In this instance we failed to live up to our own standards of sensitivity and diversity, for which we sincerely apologise.
"Lionsgate is deeply committed to making films that reflect the diversity of our audiences. We have, can and will continue to do better.​​"
A statement released by I, Robot director Proyas read: "The process of casting a movie has many complicated variables, but it is clear that our casting choices should have been more diverse. I sincerely apologise to those who are offended by the decisions we made."
DuVernay, who became the first black female director to receive a Golden Globe nomination for the civil rights movie Selma in 2014, applauded the film-makers' honesty.
"This kind of apology never happens - for something that happens all the time. An unusual occurrence worth noting," she tweeted.
"GODS OF EGYPT makes me value [JJ] Abrams' STAR WARS choices more. Makes me cheer more for [Ryan] Coogler's CREED. We all deserve icons in our own image," she added, in a further tweet.
The criticism follows similar complaints about Ridley Scott's 2014 movie Exodus: Gods and Kings, which saw Christian Bale cast as Moses - and more recently, Joe Wright's casting of Rooney Mara as Tiger Lilly in Pan.
Gods of Egypt has a reported budget of $140m (£92m). It is scheduled for release on 26 February. | Selma director Ava DuVernay has welcomed an apology by film-makers accused of "whitewashing" forthcoming adventure movie Gods of Egypt. | 34957426 | [

Charlene Walker, 36, suffered a single stab wound at the Darlington home of Julie Gowling in December.
The 44-year-old tried to cover up the killing and dispose of the weapon, a kitchen knife, by burying it in a garden, Teesside Crown Court heard.
Judge Mrs Justice Jefford told the mother-of-four she must serve a minimum of 14 years in prison.
The court heard Gowling, who had denied murder, got into a heated argument with Ms Walker - a known drug user - over the missing cash on 6 December.
It ended when Gowling lost her temper and stabbed Ms Walker in the chest. She then fled the house and tried to dispose of the knife.
The court was told Ms Walker died as a result of massive blood loss.
After the hearing, Det Supt Dave Ashton, of Durham Police, said: "Our condolences go to the family of Charlie Walker who, since her death have shown nothing but dignity and courage.
"Ms Walker had a difficult life in many ways but the extreme act of violence which ended her life was not justified during an argument over a relatively trivial matter." | A woman who stabbed her lodger during a row over a missing £21 has been jailed for her murder. | 40027397 | [

A 10ft (3m) scrub python was battling to retain its grip on the wing as a plane made its way between the Australian town of Cairns and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.
It held on the whole 1hr 50 min flight.
But on arrival in Port Moresby, ground crew found the snake had died.
Passengers first became aware of the reptile 20 minutes after take-off. A woman pointed out the python to fellow passengers and cabin crew.
At first only its head was visible, but as it tried to manoeuvre itself back to safety, its whole body was exposed. Time and again it tried to pull itself back into the shelter of the wing, but the wind was relentless.
The wind speed was 250mph (400km/h) and the temperature -12C.
The snake's body was hammered against the engine, leaving blood stains on the white paint.
One passenger, Robert Weber, a website designer in Cairns, told the Sydney Morning Herald: ''The people at the front were oblivious to what was going on but the passengers at the back were all totally focused on the snake and how it might have got on to the aircraft.
''There was no panic. At no time did anyone stop to consider that there might be others on board.''
The president of the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association, Paul Cousins, said: ''It appears as though the snake has initially crawled up inside the landing bay, maybe housed himself in there, and then crawled into the trailing ledge flap assembly.''
Scrub pythons are Australia's longest snakes. They feed on rodents and often conceal themselves in enclosed space to ambush their prey. The wing of a stationary aircraft may have appeared a likely place to this particular snake. | For excitement it may not have matched the Samuel L Jackson film, Snakes On A Plane, but passengers on a Qantas flight watched with fascination as one snake fought out its own drama. | 20975601 | [

MI6 and and GCHQ advertised on the Mumsnet website for the first time this year, and MI5 has raised its target for women employees to 45% by 2021.
Flexible working and the importance of "high emotional intelligence" are also being stressed in recruitment.
The agencies were responding to calls from MPs to recruit more women.
Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee reported in March 2015 that 37% of intelligence agency staff were women and women only make up 19% of senior civil servants in the agencies.
One year on, the government says that it and the agencies - internal security service MI5, external spy agency MI6 and the government listening post GCHQ - "agree wholeheartedly" with the need for "diversity" in agency staff.
It says action has been taken since the report was published to "increase their focus" on "all aspects of diversity", including recruiting more women.
Recruitment targets, "diversity champions", events such as a recent "Women in Cyber" event and more career support for female officers are part of efforts to employ more women and encourage talented existing women to apply for promotion.
They also say they are doing more to "promote a flexible working culture" for men and women with childcare commitments and to allow women returning from maternity leave to take up their old jobs - including in intelligence roles.
The three agencies also said they were always looking for "new and innovative ways to recruit those with the right skills, mind-set and diversity of approach".
MI5 had already used Mumsnet as well as local newspapers to target women "not currently in work" while the other two agencies did so for the first time this year.
GCHQ has also removed a requirement of a 2:1 university degree from its "fast-stream" recruitment to encourage women who had followed a "non-traditional graduate route".
The government said the initiatives were having an effect as MI5 had recently been placed in the Times Top 50 employers for women and had increased its number of new female employees by 5% to 46% of new recruits. GCHQ had seen applications from women rise to 40%. MI6 had increased its female recruitment targets for 2016/17 after seeing a 4% drop in women - to 41% of new recruits.
The government also said career support for female staff was having a "real impact" with increased numbers of women applying for senior roles in MI5. | UK intelligence agencies say they are recruiting more female staff - and are targeting middle-age and "mid-career" women for jobs. | 36396069 | [

The announcement reignited a long-running debate about Hermione's race with many pointing out that the character's skin colour is never specified by author JK Rowling.
In the books, she is described more often by her personality traits than her physical appearance. She's clever and loyal and a valued friend.
Many people associate Hermione with Emma Watson who played her in the films. But some argue that it makes sense for Hermione to be black because of the challenges she goes through.
The character fights a constant battle against prejudice because she was born to non-wizarding parents. This casts her as an outsider in a world where wizards of "pure" blood are seen by some to be superior, and "mudbloods" like Hermione are looked down upon.
Online, Art by Harry Potter fans depicting Hermione as black or non-white has been circulating on sites like Tumblr for a while.
Representations of other well known characters in film and literature as a race they are not typically associated with are also popular. It's known as "racebending".
Marianne Khalil is one artist who decided to draw Hermione as black. She says she originally did it as a gift for a friend but "because Hermione is never explicitly stated to be white in the text, there's an opportunity to create representation where there wasn't previously."
"It's important that Hermione can be read as a woman of colour, and all of these artworks depicting her as such are reclaiming that for the people who lost representation to the films."
Writer Chantell Monique describes herself as a dedicated enthusiast of Harry Potter. She says it wasn't a surprise to see Hermione cast as a black actress.
"I was just like 'of course she'd be black'."
But she says challenging the norm is important. "Seeing the actress for me is like coming home. There's a comfort to it that I didn't even realise."
"I've always connected to Hermione but having her look like me, or my mother, or my aunt is amazing."
Cousins Robyn Jordan and Bayana Davis run a website called Black Girls Nerd Out. It centres on identity in fan culture and explores how identity is portrayed.
They say this announcement is definitely something to be celebrated.
They've both been Harry Potter fans since they were children. While they both could, and did, identify with Hermione, they always saw her as white.
Bayana says it's great now to literally be able to see herself in the character.
"So much media out there that reinforces the idea that white people can be anything and do anything and we don't get that as much for black characters and black people."
Robyn added "Moving away from the fact that a character default is white is important. Representation in general is a big deal."
Ebony Elizabeth Thomas is an assistant professor specializing in children's literature at the University of Pennsylvania. In the past, she has written some of her own Potter fan fiction.
She says she cried when she saw the casting. For her, this is revolutionary.
"What this signals is that race doesn't necessarily have to be the defining characteristic of a human being. What is essential about Hermione is not her skin tone, what's essential about her is that she's smart."
Thomas says she's noticing a definite shift towards what she calls colour blind casting.
The Broadway musical Hamilton, based on the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton, is a great example, says Thomas.
Actor Lin-Manuel Miranda currently plays the lead role. He is of Puerto Rican descent.
Thomas says depicting one of America's founding fathers as anything other than white would have been difficult until recently.

The 29-year-old terminated his contract with the O's after the transfer window closed, and cannot join another EFL side until January.
"I wouldn't say I'm in a predicament, but I have never been in this position before," Cox told BBC Radio London.
"It is not a nice thing for a footballer. I'm not able to do my job."
The former Brighton man continued: "I am going to have to sit it out again for four months before I can kick a ball in the League again.
"I'll try to make the best of it. It is hard to train on your own and keep yourself motivated but it is something which has got to be done."
Cox left Orient on 1 September after turning down a move to League One Northampton Town.
Having spent six years with the O's, scoring 59 times in 275 appearances, Cox said he was "an emotional wreck" on his departure from Brisbane Road.
"I didn't really want to leave but, circumstances being what they were, I felt like I had no choice," he said.
"We had come to our conclusion that we were going to go our separate ways. I can't really elaborate on it for legal reasons.
"It is a club I will always love. When I finish playing I want to be a manager and if I can go back there and manage one day that would be great."
Cox, who has only just recovered from a long-term knee injury, is aiming to agree a contract with an EFL club which will commence in January before seeking a short-term deal with a non-league side to keep up his match fitness.
"I was just getting back in the groove," he said. "If I can get something sorted sooner rather than later League-wise, then great.
"Hopefully the clubs I speak to will understand my situation. I'm not too proud to play in lower divisions as I need to play.
"Come January, I need to be ready to kick on."
Cox has already held initial negotiations with League Two side Crawley Town.
"It interests me because they are local to where I am," he said.
"It ticks the boxes and I used to play with the captain Jimmy Smith at Orient. The manager [Dermot Drummy] wants attractive attacking football, which is great for me because that is the way I like to play.
"By no means is it a done deal. We have had talks and we'll see how that goes."

Knox, 30, has arranged a practice round at Augusta with the 1988 winner.
"It's not every tournament you have a fellow Scot and past champion to show you around," Knox told BBC Scotland.
"I'm looking forward to it and hopefully he'll give me some great insider tips that he's learned over the years that might help me."
Lyle, 58, qualifies as a winner of the Green Jacket, and US-based Knox is the only other Scotsman in the field.
Inverness-born Knox leapt up the rankings in November with victory at WGC-HSBC Champions event in Shanghai and is currently No.34 in the world.
"I still can't quite believe I'm playing at the Masters," he enthused.
"Growing up watching it on TV, now it's my turn to play. It's truly an amazing honour."
Knox has had a taste of the other majors, finishing in a tie for 45th at the US Open in 2013, featuring at the US PGA Championship in 2014 and 2015 and making his Open debut as a reserve at St Andrews last year.
"I've only been to Augusta once before," explained Knox, one of British golf's most promising players.
"It's the most famous course in the world pretty much. Obviously, St Andrews is right up there too.
"Being the first major of the year and with all the history, Augusta just has this hype around it and golf is in a great place right now with so many young, amazing players.
"There's such a buzz around the tournament. The crowds seem amazing and then there's the condition of the course.
"The whole thing is magical, a golfer's dream, and I can't wait to be a part of it." | Russell Knox aims to tap into the experience of former champion Sandy Lyle as he prepares to make his Masters debut next week. | 35939518 | [

She was hurt when the MR-01 race car she was driving hit a support truck at Duxford airfield in Cambridgeshire on Tuesday.
It was the first time the 32-year-old Spaniard had driven the car for the Oxfordshire-based Marussia team.
Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) visited the test track on Wednesday.
Marussia said surgeons at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge "embarked on a lengthy procedure to address the serious head and facial injuries sustained by Maria in the accident".
It said: "The operation began yesterday afternoon and she was in theatre until this morning.
"Maria remains in a critical but stable condition."
John Booth, team principal of the Marussia F1 Team, said: "Maria emerged from theatre at Addenbrooke's Hospital this morning after a lengthy operation to address the serious head and facial injuries she received in the accident at Duxford Airfield yesterday.
"We are grateful for the medical attention that Maria has been receiving and her family would like to thank the Neurological and Plastics surgical teams.
"However, it is with great sadness that I must report that, due to the injuries she sustained, Maria has lost her right eye.
"Maria's care and the wellbeing of her family remain our priority at this time. Her family are at the hospital and we are doing everything possible to support them."
De Villota sustained her injuries after her car "suddenly accelerated" into the back of the support lorry, according to witnesses.
BBC Radio Cambridgeshire presenter Chris Mann, who saw the accident, said: "The top of her car and her helmet seemed to take the brunt of it.
"She didn't move for about 15 minutes."
He said De Villota had been driving at up to 200mph during the testing, but the car was travelling considerably slower at the time of the crash.
Mr Booth said: "With regard to the accident, we have embarked on a very comprehensive analysis of what happened and this work continues for the moment."
Messages of support have come in from the motor racing world, including ones from Ferrari driver and fellow Spaniard Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button.
Formula 1 driver and BBC analyst Jaime Alguersari said in his weekly column
: "I was shocked to hear of the accident suffered by Maria de Villota. I know her and her family very well. I still don't know the cause of the accident. There are so many rumours but I want to wait to see what really happened.
"It's terribly sad. Maria is a fantastic person, as are her brothers and her father Emilio, who was one of Spain's first F1 drivers.
"She is a role model, especially for all the females who want to get into F1. So this is a very sad situation.
"Thankfully, she is not in a life-threatening situation so we have to look at the positive side. We will see Maria again."
Lewis Hamilton tweeted: "Just heard about Maria's terrible accident at Duxford. I hope she pulls through. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time."
The McLaren driver said later: "I don't understand how it happened or how it was able to happen." | Formula 1 driver Maria de Villota has lost her right eye following a test track crash. | 18711127 | [

McAnuff, 31, joined the Royals in 2009 and has made 172 appearances since his arrival from Watford.
He began his career at Wimbledon in 2001 and having played for West Ham, Cardiff and Crystal Palace, McAnuff is keen to finish at the Madejski Stadium.
"From my point of view of course I would," McAnuff told BBC Radio Berkshire.
The squad is so strong we have competition in every position and it is something we have to get on with and deal with
"I've been on record numerous time saying how much I've enjoyed my time here and some of my best moments as a professional have been with this club.
"But it's not my decision. All I can do is do as well as I can on the pitch, it is not solely down to me."
McAnuff, who captained Reading in the Premier League last season, was on the substitutes' bench for their Championship opener against Ipswich but started at Bolton last weekend.
Despite being disappointed at missing out on on a starting spot on the first day of the season, McAnuff is confident he can be a regular in the team.
"In pre-season you come in and work hard and it is all geared up for that first game," he added.
"So it's disappointing (not being selected) but that is football. The squad is so strong we have competition in every position and it is something we have to get on with and deal with.
"The manager makes a point of saying it bears no meaning on the season, it is just a team to get the job done, and as you get older you see the bigger picture and for us this year it is going to be about every single player.
"It is healthy (to have competition), I don't think any player should be guaranteed a place." | Reading winger Jobi McAnuff says he hopes to end his playing career at the Championship club. | 23728002 | [

Glen Johnson said he was stepping down from Cadwgan Building Preservation Trust (CBPT) due to the harassment from a small number of unnamed people.
He said some had taken exception to the way the castle project was being run. It reopened in April.
The trust, made up of 250 people, secured revamp funds, with more than £6m from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Volunteers raised more than £200,000 to save the 900-year-old site.
Mr Johnson said: "The main reason for my resignation is to protect my family from the virtual persecution currently being dealt out by a small number of individuals who have taken exception to the castle and its trustees because the project is not precisely as they would like it."
He will continue to work as a volunteer with the group.
CBPT chairwoman Jann Tucker said: "Glen's remarkable knowledge of the castle and the history of Cardigan has played a huge part in making the site what it is today and we are pleased that he will continue to support us in the capacity of a volunteer - a role he first took up 30 years ago." | A trustee of a group which secured the £12m restoration of Cardigan Castle has quit due to online "persecution". | 33974722 | [

She will become the new Bishop of Stockport.
The Church's ruling body, the general synod, voted to allow women to become bishops in July.
The appointment will end centuries of male leadership of the Church and comes 20 years after women became priests.
Mrs Lane said: "It is a remarkable day for me and an historic day for the Church.
"This is unexpected and very exciting. On this historic day as the Church of England announces the first woman nominated to be bishop, I am very conscious of all those who have gone before me, women and men, who for decades have looked forward to this moment. But most of all I am thankful to God."
While priests are normally in charge of a church, a bishop is in charge of a large area like a county - called a diocese - with hundreds of churches.
Some people within the church are against the change because they say tradition dictates that only men should hold the most senior positions.
But supporters say there is no reason that women shouldn't be in the Church's positions of power.
Churches in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland already allow women as bishops, but haven't appointed one yet. | The Reverend Libby Lane has been announced as the first female bishop for the Church of England, just a month after a historic change to church law. | 30515438 | [

On Monday, Mr Robinson, who now advises the economy minister, denied any family links to the Renewable Heat Incentive.
MLA Jonathan Bell said he was told he could not challenge the scheme because two DUP special advisers had "extensive interests in the poultry industry".
Mr Bell made the allegation on Monday, speaking under parliamentary privilege.
The DUP said the claims were "outrageous".
But on Tuesday, Mr Robinson told the Press Association his father-in-law applied to the scheme in August 2015, before he was married in October.
"I have never had any personal financial interest in the RHI Scheme," he said in a statement.
"At no point have I ever advised anyone to join the Scheme or sought to benefit in any way from it.
"Neither my wife nor I have ever had any role in the business nor have we received any benefit, financial or otherwise, from the business.
"I was appointed as an adviser in the Department for the Economy in June 2016. I was not involved in any aspect of the RHI Scheme prior to taking up the post."
The other adviser named by Mr Bell, Timothy Johnston, also denied his claims.
MLAs were debating the RHI scheme at Stormont.
The RHI scheme was set up by former first minister Arlene Foster in 2012 when she was enterprise minister.
Its aim was to increase consumption of heat from renewable sources.
However, businesses received more in subsidies than they paid for fuel, and the scheme became heavily oversubscribed.
It could lead to an overspend of £490m over the next 20 years.
Mr Bell said when he was enterprise minister his special adviser, Timothy Cairns, told him "he will not be allowed to reduce the tariff on (the RHI) scheme" because of Mr Johnston and Mr Robinson's "extensive interests in the poultry industry".
He added that he has "kept the records in many, many formats" and that he had been suspended from the party for "telling the truth".
He also claimed that Mr Robinson and Dr Andrew Crawford, a DUP party adviser, had issued instructions to "try not to get Arlene called to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC)" and "under no circumstance allow Jonathan Bell to be called" over their roles in the RHI scheme.
On Monday the DUP said that neither Mr Johnston nor Mr Robinson have interests in the poultry industry, and added that Mr Robinson's "family home farm have chicken houses but are not part of the RHI scheme and never have been recipients or applicants".
Mr Johnston, the special adviser to Arlene Foster when she was first minister, said: "I have no family connections to the poultry industry and I have no connection to the RHI scheme.
"These are unsubstantiated allegations. I have two brothers-in-law in the poultry industry. They have no connection to RHI."
Mr Robinson, special adviser to Economy Minister Simon Hamilton, said: "I have no personal interest in the poultry industry. Two of my brothers are poultry farmers but they have no connections to RHI."
Dr Crawford, a former special adviser to the Department of Finance, told the BBC last month that his brother is the director of a company which successfully applied to the RHI scheme.
He said: "I never sought to keep the RHI scheme open at the original higher tariff against the wishes of the minister."
Mr Bell broke ranks with his party and made serious allegations against the DUP over the scheme's operation in a BBC interview in December.
He claimed that DUP advisers had attempted to remove Mrs Foster's name from documents linked to RHI.
Mr Bell was later suspended from the DUP. | The father-in-law of former DUP director of communications John Robinson runs two green energy boilers under a botched energy scheme. | 38659135 | [

A team from Cardiff University has spent the last month excavating Caerau hill fort near Ely.
It is smaller than its contemporaries at Pentyrch and Pontprennau and had been thought to be inferior in status.
But structures and artefacts so far unearthed suggest the fort remained important well into the Roman era.
Until now it has been thought that the fort was purely a stronghold of the Silurian tribe who inhabited this part of Wales from around the 5th Century BC, falling into disuse once they were finally defeated by the Romans, circa 75 AD.
However the initial dig this summer has uncovered a considerable amount of new information, including three Iron Age roundhouses and a stone-built pathway that runs around the edge of the hill fort, suggesting to the experts a possible domestic and/or political dimension.
Also, the mix of Silurian and Roman artefacts may indicate that the fort was occupied much later than had been thought, and that the two groups might have mingled there.
Dr Oliver Davis, from the university's School of History, Archaeology and Religion, said: "People think of these sites as defensive structures, but our attention is turning to whether the people who lived there were actually developing a community or collective identity for themselves.
"Our community excavations show that occupation at the site continued until at least the third century AD, well into the Roman period.
"Domestic life is indicated by the discovery of simple tools and ceramics from all periods.
"A glimpse of the personality of the inhabitants is provided by the discovery of a glass bead of Iron Age date and an enamelled disc brooch of Roman date.
"Both these objects indicate that individuals were concerned with their appearance, and that life in the past was a little more colourful than we sometimes think.
"Over the past month the team has also examined the inner of the three ramparts that surround the hill fort. These ramparts and their associated ditches were unlikely to have been built just for defence."
But as well as colour from the past, Dave Horton, of the community organisation Action in Caerau and Ely, said the way local residents have had a hand in the discoveries has also lent a little colour to the present.
"The last few weeks have seen a whirlwind of activity in Ely and Caerau focused around our beautiful iron-age hill fort," he said.
"Literally hundreds of local people have visited the site and have dug together, learned new skills, shared local knowledge, and have celebrated together with a fantastic Iron Age hog roast."
"We have all walked down the hill to our homes with a different perspective. We have found new pride in the history of our community." | Early results from an archaeological dig at an Iron Age fort in Cardiff suggest it may have been the region's centre of power, experts have said. | 23384979 | [

People decried the perceived death of open communication, the potential rising costs of access, and perhaps, most importantly, how they would access streaming episodes of favourite programmes like Breaking Bad and House of Cards.
The insatiable demand for streaming content has choked US networks, causing internet service providers (ISPs) to attempt to spread the cost of upgraded service to content providers like Netflix.
According to reports, the FCC will allow a fast lane for data-heavy services when new rules are published in May. Critics say this violates the so-called "net neutrality" principle that all internet traffic should be treated equally.
If such growing costs trickle down to consumers, experts believe a life of internet piracy may seem appealing for those accustomed to cheaper access.
There's "a real possibility that you will price some people out of the market for legitimate programming and into a market for ill-gotten programming because it will just cost too much or it will become clear they can pay a lot less for it," says Allen Hammond, director of the Broadband Institute of California.
Already more than 11% of all internet traffic is believed to be illegally shared, copyrighted content such as films and television episodes, according to a report commissioned by NBC Universal.
ISPs like Verizon have acknowledged that video streaming demand has grown exponentially in recent years, eating up to half of bandwidth. And upgrades to current networks can prove very costly.
"Other companies want us to spend our money to help supplement what they may be doing," Verizon spokeswoman Linda Laughlin says.
As ISPs negotiate with content providers like Netflix, service has sometimes slowed to a near unusable speed for certain customers.
In short, some people are paying for streaming services they are not always receiving.
For ethicist Irina Raicu, it presents an unusual dilemma in which turning to pirating of content may not be, technically, wrong.
"If you are actually paying and using [piracy sites] in desperation, I don't think it's unethical," she says, but adds that content creators may be hurt more than ISPs in the bargain.
Film studios concur, arguing internet piracy costs them millions of dollars in lost revenue every year.
"I think it just speaks to the way consumers are just pushed to the limit here," Ms Raicu says. "In a world where people feel like the big companies are allowed to act unethically and without any kind of regulations, I think it's more likely to prompt people to respond the same way."
Ms Raicu says the argument is part of the ongoing net neutrality debate in the US. Is the internet a human right, or a business to be controlled by market forces?
Many have argued the US government should treat the internet as a public utility rather than the oligopoly it is today.
A low number of ISPs control the bulk of the market, and in some areas of the nation there is only one ISP available.
And if you don't like their practices, well… tough.
Under such a system, customers don't have the ability to modify contracts or hold their ISP accountable, says Mr Hammond.
"Businesses are providing service based on a contract that is written from their point of view," he says. "We have [no room] to negotiate."
If no statutes are written to protect consumer rights, then customers are bound to the terms of the contract. It becomes a take-it-or-leave-it system.
And right now the US government appears less than eager to enter into the fray.
"If Congress wants to impose net neutrality, it can," says Aaron Schwabach, professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
But "I doubt that Congress could agree to adopt a national pancake right now", he says, referencing the recent paralysing political polarisation in the US House of Representatives and Senate.
Mr Schwabach also notes that those same politicians are beholden to the ISPs - often part of larger media conglomerates - for access to constituents come voting season.
"These corporations are pretty large and pretty well-versed and [also] have their people up on Capitol Hill" lobbying, echoes Mr Hammond. "And they have long memories and deep pockets."
When individual consumer Davids are up against corporate and government Goliaths, turning to piracy may some day become a form of social protest, experts argue.
"We have anti-monopoly laws, we have regulation because we don't want to have too much concentration of power in too few hands," says Stuart Green, a professor at Rutgers School of Law.
"I think people feel like at a certain point they have to correct what the government or the market won't correct," he adds. "When a government or oligopoly controls all of the wealth, then sometimes people have to break the law in order to change the status quo as an agent of social change."
Even if such internet piracy is a self-serving desire for free access to the Iron Man films and not pure altruism, if enough people do it, it may render the illegality of it moot.
"If people feel like this has gotten out of hand and power is controlled by too small a group of people [who think], 'My bills keep going up and up, I'm not going to tolerate that, I'm going to violate the law', the aggregate result is the law becomes unstable," Mr Green says.
"[If] most people believe that the law is not consistent with their intuitions and beliefs about what's right and wrong, the law isn't really going to be effective," he adds. "You can't have the FCC coming into people's homes and suing everybody. People just won't tolerate that."
But, if internet rules continue to change, ISPs may be able to block access to illegal content download sites for fear of being sued by content creators.
Basically, just as people may be turning more to piracy, pirate sites will be driven to extinction.
"That should reduce the incidents of illegal downloading because it won't be technologically possible," says Mr Green.
"Or people will find new ways to get around it."
Mr Schwabach notes that, when he was in college, other people would take turns purchasing a vinyl record each week and allowed their classmates to re-record and distribute the music on cassettes.
The same is likely to hold true for the internet.
"Some people always find a way," he concludes. | Many consumers were outraged with the news that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was possibly considering new rules allowing net providers to charge more for access to an online fast lane. | 27161270 | [

Officers were called to Salford Royal Hospital at about 23:45 GMT on Friday by staff who reported a 28-year-old had been admitted with stab wounds to his neck, shoulder and chest.
He had been helped to the hospital by friends after being attacked on Edward Street.
Det Sgt Julie Connor said it was a "brutal attack" with an unknown motive.
"What we do know from the doctors is that the victim is lucky to by alive and if his friends had not intervened, he would probably have died from blood loss," she said.
The man's attacker was described as being white, in his early 20s, and of average height and slim build, with brown hair cut in a 1960s style and a scruffy beard or moustache.
He was said to be wearing a blue top with a circle emblem on the front and blue jeans, and was carrying a large carving knife.
Det Sgt Connor said anyone with information about the attack should contact police. | A man who suffered "numerous stab wounds" in an attack in Salford is "lucky to be alive", police have said. | 32001667 | [

The Kings, who play in Port Elizabeth, and the Bloemfontein-based Cheetahs are expected to join the league after losing their Super Rugby status.
The Pro12 comprises teams from Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Italy.
"A lot of the players at South African teams would prefer playing in the Pro12," van Rooyen told BBC Scotland.
"Most of the guys are really excited to play in the northern hemisphere - it's a new challenge, a new type of game, playing new opposition that you don't know at all."
Van Rooyen, 25, says the players have not been informed of their immediate future after the Kings' exit from Super Rugby was confirmed by the national governing body on Friday.
He hopes a berth in the Pro12 would create opportunities for him to impress Springboks selectors - and carve out a more lucrative career path in Europe.
"Most of the South Africans want to earn their pounds or their Euros and I think playing in Europe, playing against Munster or Ulster, the big teams from Ireland or Scotland or Wales can certainly put your foot in the door a bit," Van Rooyen said.
"The only way people in Europe can see you play is clips and games that you send them, but once you start playing against them week in, week out, they can know more about you as a person and how you play.
"I've got only about four, five, six years left - you have to make your pounds or your Euros. Playing against the European teams week in, week out, should hopefully make a way for us to get overseas just by playing against the teams there.
"We're going to play more of a kicking game against the northern hemisphere teams because it is wet most of the time - maybe that's what the Springboks selectors want for certain games.
"So I think it can really help us to become Boks or to get that big contract in Europe to help you get financial stability for after rugby.
"It can be a huge door to be opened for South Africans wanting to make a few bucks before their time runs out with rugby."
An ankle injury limited Van Rooyen to two Super Rugby appearances this season, with the Kings' campaign coming to a close against the Cheetahs on 14 July.
They have won six of their 14 matches and sit bottom of the Africa 2 conference.
Deon Davids' side are expected to join the Pro12 for the coming season, which should begin in September, and their scrum-half believes that, with a deeper player pool, his team can be very competitive.
"The bodies have taken a few shots now, but the type of game is totally different," he said.
"It's a slower game, so you can manage the bodies a bit better. You just have to get the right squad, with enough guys in specific positions for depth, because it is such a long competition.
"But I think the excitement of the new competition could really boost that. Tiring bodies is one thing, but if you know you can tour Ireland or Scotland, that's a big motivator.
"The first season might get a bit long, but our depth was tested in Super Rugby and we did exceptionally well.
"We've shown this year we're a great running side - I think we can bring something new to the Pro12, more running than kicking, and I think that will be good for the Pro12.
"Talent-wise we've really stepped up and I think we can be a threat. I don't see why we'd have to stand back for big teams like Munster.
"I really think we can make our stamp in the first year and build on that. I think, if you just get through the first year and see how things work, you can build on that. I think we can really be contenders growing into the Pro12."
Van Rooyen insists "there will be big crowds" for Pro12 opposition at the Kings' Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium and admits playing against Munster at Thomond Park would be "a dream come true".
"I watch European rugby week in, week out, and I think a lot of players here do," he added. "For me, the Pro12 is an awesome competition and it's a long competition, so you need a big group.
"The Pro12 has good talent - it's not a watered-down competition, it's very fierce and competitive and that's exactly what you want. I'd love to be part of it." | South African players are excited by the prospect of competing in the Pro12, according to Southern Kings scrum-half Rudi van Rooyen. | 40562458 | [

It was announced on the 70th anniversary of D-Day that the Legion d'honneur would be awarded to all veterans who took part in the invasion.
A deterioration in the health of Howard Francis, 92, prompted his family to chase his up.
He was presented with his medal in Glangwili Hospital, Carmarthen, on Monday.
Fighting for the Worcestershire Regiment, Mr Francis was shot in the shoulder near Rouen on 27 August 1944.
He received a letter which said he would be awarded the Legion d'honneur, but there was a delay due to a backlog in applications.
After he was taken ill two weeks ago, Mr Francis's family was helped by Links, a Llanelli-based charity helping ex-service personnel.
Links contacted Carmarthen East and Dinefwr MP Jonathan Edwards, who made urgent representations to Defence Secretary Michael Fallon and the French Ambassador Sylvie Bermann.
Within hours, the French embassy confirmed the medal would be fast-tracked.
Susie Hamill, manager at Links, said it had been a "quick turnaround."
"The French have been really supportive and it shows the respect they have for someone like Mr Francis and the service he gave to their country."
Mr Edwards said it was an "absolute honour" to present the medal to Mr Francis.
The medal cannot be awarded posthumously and Michael Francis, Mr Francis's eldest son, said it meant the world to his family to be given the honour.
"We're over the moon. We're so proud of him. It's hard to put into words, but I'm so happy he's got it." | A Carmarthenshire D-Day veteran has been presented with France's highest military honour at his hospital bed. | 37013924 | [

The 34-year-old England international, who scored 15 league goals last season, has signed a three-year deal.
"It's great to be back," said Defoe, who as a teenager spent the 2000-01 season on loan at Bournemouth from West Ham, scoring in 10 successive matches.
"It was an easy decision, joining a top team with a top manager. The one thing I can guarantee is goals."
The former Tottenham, Portsmouth, West Ham and Charlton player is seventh on the Premier League all-time goals list with 158 in 468 appearances.
Cherries manager Eddie Howe said Defoe's signing is a "huge moment for the club".
Defoe moved to Sunderland in January 2015 after a brief spell at MLS side Toronto and, after saving the club from relegation in the 2015-16 season with 15 goals, signed a contract extension until 2019.
There was a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave on a free transfer if Sunderland were relegated, which he was able to trigger when the Black Cats finished bottom last season.
Defoe made his England debut in 2004 and played at the 2010 World Cup, but did not feature for the national side between 2013 and 2017.
His excellent form last season earned him a recall to Gareth Southgate's side, and he scored his 20th international goal against Lithuania in a World Cup qualifier in March.
Defoe is Bournemouth's second signing of the summer, following the arrival of goalkeeper Asmir Begovic from Chelsea.
"We want to bring players here who can have a big impact on our continued rise and we believe Jermain fits that as a natural, proven goalscorer," added Howe.
The Cherries finished ninth in the Premier League last term - their second season in the top flight.

Coventry University's Scarborough campus has been built on the town's former Weaponness Park and Ride site.
About 200 students have begun courses at the site, though it is expected to eventually be home to more than 2,000 students.
The building, which includes engineering and science labs, a mock law court and a library, is part of a £50m sports and education facility.
Professor Craig Gaskell said: "Launching our new state-of-the-art building is a huge milestone for us and demonstrates our commitment to Scarborough and the Yorkshire coast area."
A new University Technical College has been built nearby and Scarborough Athletic FC's new 2,000-seater stadium is also under construction on the site.
Coventry University also has a campus near London's Liverpool Street Station and recently announced it will open a campus in Dagenham in September 2017. | A new £14m university campus has opened in Scarborough. | 37407074 | [

The biologist and entrepreneur turned the effort to map the human genome into a competitive race and, in so doing, was vilified by the scientific community.
Dr Venter has certainly not gained a reputation for modesty about his achievements. "Is my science of a level consistent with other people who have gotten the Nobel? Yes," he was once quoted as saying.
And he is a very wealthy user of Lear Jets and private yachts.
But his efforts in the field of human genomics have undeniably helped speed up the entire process.
After the publication of the human genome, Dr Venter turned his attention to another grand project: the creation of a synthetic life form.
Scientists at the US-based J Craig Venter Institute have been busily working on the endeavour for more than a decade. They have now published details of the result, an organism called Synthia, in the prestigious journal Science.
Born in 1946, as a boy, Dr Venter did not exemplify good scholarship and at 18 he chose to devote his life to the surfing pleasures of the beaches in Southern California. Three years later, in 1967, he was drafted into the Vietnam conflict.
As an orderly in the naval field hospital at Da Nang, he tended to thousands of soldiers wounded during the Tet offensive.
This inspired two important changes in him: a determination to become a doctor and a conviction that time should never be wasted.
"Life was so cheap in Vietnam. That is where my sense of urgency comes from," he said.
During his medical training he excelled in research rather than practice. By the 1980s, the early days of the revolution in molecular biology, he was working at the government-funded US National Institute of Health and soon realised the importance of decoding genes.
But the work was messy, tedious and agonisingly slow. So, in 1987, when he read reports of an automated decoding machine, he soon had the first one in his lab. This speeded things up - but not enough.
Then came Dr Venter's real breakthrough. He realised that he did not need to trawl the entire genome to find the active parts, because cells already use those parts naturally.
He switched his attention from the DNA blueprint to the messenger molecules (called RNA) that a cell makes from that blueprint. He was then able to churn out gene sequences at unprecedented rates.
His success shocked some, most notably the co-discoverer of DNA, James Watson, who famously dismissed the relatively crude results obtained as work "any monkey" could do.
The criticism, and the failure to secure further public research funding, prompted Dr Venter to leave the NIH in 1992 and set up a private research institute, The Institute for Genomic Research.
And, in 1995, he again stunned the scientific establishment by unveiling the first, complete genome of a free-living organism, Haemophilus influenzae, a major cause of childhood ear infections and meningitis.
His greatest challenge to the establishment came in May 1998, when he announced the formation of a commercial company, Celera Genomics, to crack the entire human genetic code in just three years. At that point, the public project was three years into a 10-year programme.
Both efforts published their results in 2001. What some saw as Dr Venter's disregard for scientific conventions such as open access to data brought him opprobrium in some circles.
Nevertheless, the financial rewards were enough to leave him in a highly unusual position for a scientist - with enough money and resources to do the science he wanted without having to tap the usual bureaucratic sources for funding and infrastructure.
In 2006, he formed the J Craig Venter Institute which would spearhead the labour to create the world's first synthetic life form. Dr Venter kept the scientific journals and the media abreast of developments, trumpeting several key advances as he edged closer to his goal.
But he has pursued other projects in the meantime. Dr Venter has roamed the oceans in his yacht, Sorcerer II, collecting life forms in an unprecedented genetic treasure hunt.
The project aims to sequence genomes from the vast range of microbes living in the sea, to provide scientists with a better understanding of the evolution and function of genes and proteins.
The synthetic life breakthrough, when it was announced, was not without controversy. But Dr Venter will have come to expect that.
"I think they're going to potentially create a new industrial revolution," he said of the synthetic microbes.
"If we can really get cells to do the production that we want, they could help wean us off oil and reverse some of the damage to the environment by capturing carbon dioxide." | "Maverick" is a word that seems to follow Craig Venter around. | 10138849 | [

Yanis Varoufakis last week confirmed that he worked on a contingency plan in case emergency funding to the Greek financial system was cut off.
He has been accused of secretly planning a Greek exit from the euro.
But Mr Tsipras said on Friday that he had ordered the plan, adding it would have been "irresponsible" not to do so.
"Of course I issued personal instructions to the finance minister to create a team that would work on a plan of defence in the event of a national emergency,'' Mr Tsipras told parliament, according to AP.
"It would have been politically naive... not to do so. Does that mean... that I was seeking an emergency?" he asked.
Mr Tsipras did not directly address the reported details of the plan, which was to have allowed the government to introduce a parallel payment system if the banking system was closed down and the drachma had to be re-introduced.
A small team in the governing Syriza party was charged with investigating how to secretly copy online tax codes and use them to issue new pin numbers for every taxpayer, to be used in transactions with the state.
"That would have created a parallel banking system while the banks were shut as a result of the ECB's aggressive action to deny us some breathing space," Mr Varoufakis said in a leaked phone conversation.
Mr Varoufakis later confirmed the existence of the plan, but denied claims that he had wanted to engineer a Greek exit from the euro.
Earlier this month eurozone leaders agreed to offer Greece a third bailout of €86bn, after marathon talks in Brussels.
However the details of the bailout remain to be negotiated between Greece and its creditors. | Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has defended his former finance minister in a row over an "emergency plan" drawn up in case of Greece's exit from the euro. | 33735454 | [

American Hoffman, 40, carded a three-over 75 to drop to four under overall, before Spain's Garcia, 37, shot a 69.
Belgium's Pieters hit a 68, while American Fowler shot a day's best 67.
Rory McIlroy (73) is one over as he seeks a career Grand Slam but defending champion Danny Willett missed the cut.
Englishman Willett ended one over the cut line on seven over after shooting 78 in blustery winds that made conditions tricky at the Georgia course, although most players did find scoring easier than on the opening day.
Only two players - Hoffman and compatriot William McGirt - shot under 70 on Thursday, but seven men managed the same feat in the second round - including Garcia, Fowler and Pieters.
"I felt like I played great, I felt like I hit the ball better than the first day," said Garcia, the world number 11.
"The course is still very difficult, and I made a couple of stupid mistakes but I can be happy because of the way the course is playing," he added.
Garcia has been one of the game's leading players since bursting onto the European Tour scene as a teenager, consistently hovering in and around the world's top 10 and challenging for leading honours.
But his failure to win one of the four majors, after several near misses in 22 top-10 finishes, is a blemish on an otherwise stellar career.
Two impressive rounds at a blustery Augusta have left him well-placed to shake off the unwanted tag of being one of golf's most famous 'nearly men'.
Garcia made a flying start to his second round with birdies on the first three holes before dropping his first shot of the tournament on the fourth.
Then came total confusion after a mistake on the Masters scoring system.
Garcia scored a bogey on the par-four 10th, but it was changed on the scoring system to a triple-bogey seven - dropping him down the leaderboard.
The mistake was eventually rectified by tournament officials about an hour later, moving him back into tied second and two behind Hoffman.
Two more birdies at the 15th and 17th wiped out Hoffman's lead, although the Ryder Cup stalwart missed a six-foot birdie putt on the last to take the outright clubhouse lead.
"I've shown myself many times that I can contend and I truly feel I can not only win one major, but more than one," said Garcia.
On the scorecard mix-up, he added: "I saw it on the leaderboard on the 13th but the main thing was I knew where I stood."
Hoffman, 40, caused a shock when he shot a stunning seven-under 65 to lead on Thursday but, unsurprisingly, the Californian was unable to replicate this remarkable feat.
His round was ruined by five bogeys in six holes around the turn, although he recovered to birdie the 13th and stay in the hunt.
"Any time this place firms up, it plays its hardest just because it's hard to control your golf ball," said Hoffman, who has only previously claimed one top-25 finish at a major.
Belgium's Pieters - considered one of the rising stars on the European Tour - moved into contention with another impressive showing on his Augusta debut.
The 25-year-old began the day level and, after bogeying the first, stormed back with three birdies and an eagle on the 15th.

Fowler, two groups behind Pieters, set the tone by holing his bunker shot for an eagle on the par-five second and adding a birdie on the next. He rolled in three more birdies to record the day's lowest round.
Two-time major winner Jordan Spieth birdied three of his last six holes to finish level par alongside two other former Masters champions, Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson.
In three appearances at the Masters, American Spieth has finished second, first, tied for second.
World number two McIlroy, 27, is aiming to become only the sixth man to win all four majors - at his third time of trying at Augusta.
McIlroy, who has three consecutive top-10 finishes in Georgia, is seeking a first Masters title following victories at the US Open and the Open Championship and two US PGA Championship titles.

He shot a scrappy level-par 72 on Thursday and followed up with a similarly-scruffy round on Friday.
He struggled to find rhythm in a card littered with five bogeys, salvaging four birdies to keep him within touching distance.
However, McIlroy felt aggrieved to walk off the 18th with a bogey after his approach shot hit the flagstick and bounced off the green.
"The shot at the last looked like a tap-in birdie and I made five. I got two bad breaks with hitting the pin and the wind then caught me out on the putt as well," he said.
"It was another day where you had to battle, make a lot of pars and pick off the odd birdie here and there.
"I feel I can put a 31 or 32 together a couple of times over the weekend and get closer to the leaders.
"Hopefully these are the toughest conditions we have played in and hopefully I can go a lot lower over the weekend."
England's Danny Willett became the first Briton to win the Masters in 20 years when he claimed his first major 12 months ago - this time there was no cause to celebrate ending another barren run.
The Yorkshireman, 29, is the first defending champion to miss the cut since Canada's Mike Weir in 2004.
Willett began the day at one over par, but his second round got off to a shocking start when he recorded a quadruple-bogey eight on the first.
Two more bogeys arrived at the fourth and 11th holes, in addition to a solitary birdie at the 10th, leaving him perilously close to missing the projected cut of six over.
And a bogey on the 18th pushed him to seven over par.
"We've had two fabulous years and then you have a little bit of a downturn and it feels like the world is coming to an end," Willett said.
"Playing Augusta at the weekend would be nice with the good weather coming in, but we had that in our own hands and unfortunately we let that slip."
Other big names who missed the cut include reigning Open champion Henrik Stenson, plus former Masters winners Bubba Watson and Zach Johnson.
Seven other Britons - Chris Wood, Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Knox, Ian Woosnam, Tyrrell Hatton, Sandy Lyle and amateur Scott Gregory, plus Ireland's Shane Lowry - also failed to make the weekend.

Twelve months after Bernhard Langer rolled back the years at Augusta, another veteran former champion is dreaming of a fairytale finish.
Fred Couples, who won the Masters in 1992, is three shots behind the leading group after shooting a two-under-par 70.
The 57-year-old former world number one is now ranked 1,893, but showed that experience counts for everything at Augusta.
The American carded six birdies during a round punctured by a double bogey and two bogeys, and almost holed his approach on the 18th but walked off with a tap-in birdie.

"I feel like I can play the course well but in conditions like this I feel I have a better chance than if it was sunny and less windy," he said.
"It would be hard for me to shoot a 68 like some of the better players. In bad weather I feel I could battle.
"The only real disappointment was my second on 17 which led to a bad bogey."
Another former winner, 58-year-old Larry Mize, became the oldest player to make the cut at six over par on the 30th anniversary of his 1987 victory. | Charley Hoffman's overnight advantage was wiped out as Sergio Garcia, Rickie Fowler and Thomas Pieters pegged him back for a four-way tie at the halfway stage of the Masters at Augusta. | 39535566 | [

All 12,000 pupils are offered milk, fruit juice, cereal and toast in a bid to benefit their performance in school.
Blackpool Council will decide on 17 June whether to extend its £1.3m scheme, which began in January, until the end of March 2014.
Northumbria University researchers have examined the scheme's benefits.
Dr Margaret Anne Defreyter, director of healthy living at Northumbria University, said: "Blackpool's free school breakfast scheme is one of the largest schemes operating within the UK.

Teachers say school meals leave pupils hungry
"The overall findings of the evaluation of the Blackpool scheme are very positive and based on these findings I strongly recommend that the scheme continues."
Simon Blackburn, the Labour leader of Blackpool Council, said: "It was clear from that first day that the scheme would be a success. Across Blackpool children were coming to school hungry and struggling to concentrate.
"I am proud of the bold decision we made to trial this scheme, a move that no other council has made, and I've even prouder today to see the results of the research."
Neil Hodgkins, head teacher of Devonshire Primary School, said: "Children who had previously had nothing, or very little, to eat first thing are now enjoying a nutritious start to the day and presenting themselves as being livelier, more alert and ready to perform better in class.
"Although it is still early days to be quantifying this in terms of academic results or attainment value, we are seeing other benefits such as improved punctuality and attendance."
The researchers from Northumbria University have recommended that the council should continue to evaluate the "long term educational attainment and short term cognitive performance" of pupils. | A pilot scheme offering free breakfasts to primary school children in Blackpool has improved their health and punctuality, say researchers. | 22810432 | [

Councillors are unhappy Ordnance Survey (OS) maps only refer to Black Rock Sands near Porthmadog by that name.
But it is also know locally as Traeth Morfa Bychan - after the village next to the shoreline.
OS told the authority the name was adopted after consultation with the council, and they had been told the English version was most commonly used.
"During the council's Language Committee, members declared their commitment to protecting indigenous Welsh names and places in Gwynedd," said a council spokesperson.
They said they would continue to collaborate with agencies such as OS to "ensure that the correct names are used wherever possible".
"In this case, the discussion with the OS will continue regarding the possibilities for changing the name that appears on their maps," added the Gwynedd official.
"In the meantime Gwynedd council will consult with community councils in the specific area, to gather evidence that will enable the council to submit robust evidence to the OS for changing the name that appears on their maps." | Officials have said they will push to get the Welsh name of a Gwynedd beach on maps. | 36116022 | [

Josh Vela fired Bolton in front from eight yards after Emile Heskey laid Dean Moxey's long throw into his path.
But Boro equalised when Rhodes, who was about to be replaced by David Nugent, drilled home from close range.
Rhodes then headed in Middlesbrough's second stoppage-time winner this week from three yards.
Minutes earlier, Boro's big-money transfer deadline day signing from Blackburn had hit the post and headed wide from six yards as the Teessiders sought a winner, while substitute Gaston Ramirez also scooped a shot over from close range.
Relive Middlesbrough's win at Bolton
But Rhodes was in the right place at the right time to nod in Nugent's cross in the first minute of injury time and leave Boro two points clear at the top after promotion rivals Burnley, who they face on Tuesday, won 2-1 at Birmingham.
Boro, who have now won six successive games, also scored an injury-time winner to beat Reading in midweek and this late show secured only their second victory at Bolton's current home.
Middlesbrough face promotion rivals Burnley and Brighton in their closing four games and, as such, have their fate in their own hands as they bid to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2009.
Aitor Karanka's side dominated the first half in terms of chances as Stewart Downing hit the bar from 25 yards, while Adam Forshaw, Daniel Ayala, Albert Adomah and Ritchie de Laet all failed to hit to target.
Mark Davies' backheel forced Boro keeper Dimi Konstantopoulos into a save from Bolton's best first-half opening.
Wanderers looked set for only their fifth win of the season after Vela put them in front but Rhodes had the final say to the delight of Boro's 4,302 travelling fans.
Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka:
"I told him [Rhodes] after the game that a goalscorer can't forget to score goals in two months.
"Always one day it would arrive that he would score goals and it was today - two important goals.
"I don't think it's been easy for him. He's not a strong character, you can see it in his face. The reason I am pleased for him is because sometimes when you do your best and you're unlucky you are going down. He was always trusting himself.
"Today, the most important day, he arrived and he was there to help the team."
Bolton interim manager Jimmy Phillips:
"That's [the level of performance] got to be the case from now until the end of the season.
"We encourage players to get on the ball, show as much in possession as they could, to be confident with it, because our league fate has been decided but also retaining a real competitive edge and defensive shape.
"There's still areas to work on, definitely, hopefully if we can achieve better ball retention, become harder to beat and still work hard that will set the players up for next season for those that are going to be here."

She became Kenya's first high-profile athlete to fail a test, when she tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in September.
Jeptoo, 33, says she may have been prescribed some banned substances at a local hospital after a road accident.
She has become the 45th Kenyan athlete to have failed a doping test.
David Rudisha, the Olympic 800 metres champion, said he fears for Kenya's hard-won reputation after repeat allegations of doping.
"Athletics Kenya followed due process in her matter and it was appropriate that she serves a two-year ban," said the governing body's chief executive Isaac Kamande.
The ban comes only a few days after Athletics Kenya announced that eight more Kenyan athletes have been suspended for between one to four years for taking performance-enhancing drugs.
Over the last two years Kenya has been in the spotlight after a German television programme claimed that many Kenyan athletes are doping.
Jeptoo, one of most successful runners in Kenyan history, was due to be crowned world Marathon Major Champion for the year 2014 but the ceremony was called off soon after news of her failed test.
She has won the previous three Boston and two Chicago marathons and also previously won the Stockholm, Paris, Milan and Lisbon marathons. | Kenya's Rita Jeptoo, winner of the Boston and Chicago marathons, has been banned for two years after failing a drugs test. | 31062211 | [

Killie thumped Falkirk 4-0 to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit in the Premiership play-off final second leg at Rugby Park.
But after only a third win in 14 games since he took charge in February, Clark said changes are needed by next season.
"It is a celebration but tinged with a warning," he said.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"This club has been loitering in this position for four or five years before I got here. This warning needs to be heeded. We need to change the mentality.
"The boys have bought into my methods and we haven't got what we deserved in some games. But the position we are in tells me there needs to be a freshness to the group, and that is what we will do."
Clark, who ran down the touchline in celebration after the third and fourth goals, grabbing a scarf from a fan on the first occasion, endured an emotional afternoon in the home dugout.
"When the goals were going in, it was like what we did when we stayed up with Birmingham City [in 2014] and I never thought that would be repeated," he told BBC Scotland.
"I knew what was at stake if we didn't get the result.
"We couldn't have dreamed of a better start and that settled us a bit, but you know it is never over with Falkirk."
Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd, who scored the final goal, admitted a sense of relief at having come through the ordeal of a play-off decider.
"It is a great occasion at the moment, but it is one you don't want to be involved with, and hopefully never again," he said.
"It has been a tough season, but we have shown today we have got some good players and we are a team. We think we can be a match for everybody in this division."
His fellow forward Josh Magennis - who could be in the Northern Ireland squad heading to Euro 2016 - played an influential role on his return from injury, setting up two goals and causing Falkirk havoc.
"To do it on the last day of the season was not what we wanted, but sometimes that's what it takes," he said.
"Everything fell into place. We didn't let them breathe at all and we were all over them from the first whistle."
Falkirk manager Peter Houston admitted his side failed to cope with the early intensity of the hosts, as their brave promotion bid came up short.
"When you are two down after seven or so minutes, the occasion certainly got to us," he told BBC Scotland.
"There are a lot of players in tears in there feeling like they have let the fans down. But they have been magnificent all season and it is not a day to criticise the players.
"We were involved in a cup final at the end of last season and a play-off at the end of this one.
"We need to learn when we are in a position like that how to get it over the line.
"We have to look at it in the close season. We need more quality and maybe more physicality in certain areas if you look at us compared to Kilmarnock.
"We will re-group and see what kind of budget we have to bring players in." | Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark has warned the club needs to change personnel and mentality to avoid further brushes with relegation from the top flight. | 36354778 | [

The pop legend lost his cool during his performance at Gloucester's Kingsholm Stadium on Sunday.
The steward incurred John's wrath for trying to stop people with cheaper tickets blocking the view of concert-goers at the front who had paid more.
But sorry turned out not to be the hardest word, with John later getting her on stage and apologising.
Stewards at the stadium, which is the home of Gloucester Rugby, were faced with the problem of some people moving to the front and blocking the view of others at the gig, which was supposed to be seated.
The lack of crowd control has been criticised by fans, but promoter Marshall Arts, which was responsible for the stewarding, refused to comment about it.
During the concert, the legendary singer-songwriter told the stewards to "lighten up".
He told them: "These people have come here to hear music so if they want to put their hands in the air, let them."
In an expletive-laden rant, John went to say it was "not China" and he picked out a female steward, telling her: "You put a uniform on and you think you're Hitler - well you're not."
Moments later the woman could be seen on the big screen walking away from the stage area, while people cheered the Rocket Man writer's outburst.
Steven Ward, from Tewkesbury, who attended the event, said: "This [concert] was seated, there were disabled people who were sat on our aisle who couldn't see, obviously they couldn't stand up to see the stage.
"There were people fighting to get a view of what they were trying to look at and, for some reason, the stewards brought out barriers to try and stop people, but that made them worse because they congregated by the barrier."
Gloucester Rugby's commercial manager, Mike Turner, said: "The Elton John concert is a stadium hire so Elton brings on his own stewards.
"Our stewards man the corporate areas and everything else is manned by the production company Elton uses.
"The stewards did their best to bring the concert back to how it should be."
A spokesman for Marshall Arts said the concert had been a great success but she would not comment on any aspect of the stewarding, which she said was subcontracted to another company. | Sir Elton John likened a steward to Hitler as she tried to stop crowds from surging forward during a gig. | 33049263 | [

For the past six weeks or so, he has driven his green Lamborghini to the UFC's new performance institute on a daily basis.
At this hub, located about four miles from the city's famous strip, you can mimic conditions at 10,000ft of altitude, clock miles on an underwater treadmill, or analyse the density of specific muscles.
If an athlete is to be built rather than born, this is the place. The attention to detail is stunningly intricate and it was Manchester City's own training complex which offered key elements of the blueprint.
A group of journalists are led through the $14m development by Forrest Griffin, a retired UFC light-heavyweight champion and now a vice-president with focus on athlete development.
He paints details around what we see at the 30,000 square feet facility, which opened in May. Some 23 years have passed since UFC was formed but this building is seen as a game changer which will take the welfare and performance of athletes to new levels.
It is far removed from the spit and sawdust gyms which shaped some of boxing's greatest names. Some 24 hours earlier, I visited the Mayweather Boxing Gym, a world-renowned facility which inside is straightforward, humble and brilliantly effective.
But the UFC institute cuts with tradition in pursuit of gains. Measurability, science and mapped progress shape the mantra.
Griffin explains how recovery is meticulously plotted. He points to one of his own injuries and a subsequent substantial difference in mass between his two quad muscles, detected after his retirement. A UFC fighter at the Institute would be scanned during rehabilitation to highlight which muscles have suffered during their lay-off so targeted rebuilding can be done.
Any fighter competing under the UFC banner can train here at no cost.
Tailored workout programmes appear on screens next to weight stations. If an athlete is only here for a short spell, their data and subsequent training plan will be sent to an app to use at their traditional base.
Whatever the goal - recovery, strength, mobility, technique - there is a desire to offer a menu of ways to work on it. As Griffin stresses, what works for one individual will do nothing for another.
In the recovery area, for example, athletes can opt for use of a cryotherapy chamber or laser-light therapy. Both will stimulate circulation, flushing away lactic acid and easing aches and pains.
Facilities are purposely placed one room apart to ease access. We pass through a door and Griffin fires up the underwater treadmill McGregor has been filmed using in recent weeks.
"Conor has had a knee injury in the past so he doesn't like to do roadwork," says Griffin, 38. "So he does a lot of bike work and he uses this as it has no impact on your body and you can work hard."
Two pools next to the underwater treadmill offer temperatures of 105F and 50F respectively to again offer variety in recovery.
Griffin explains why McGregor's typical routine of sleeping in until midday makes perfect sense.
"He's been here once or twice a day for six weeks," adds Griffin. "Training at the time you fight is under appreciated. When do you work out the best, after being up for 12 hours or three or four hours? He primes his body to do that, which is intelligent."
We are taken to meet UFC flyweight Joe Benevidez, who is receiving treatment from director of physical therapy Heather Linden.
Linden left a role at the USA's Olympic Training Centre in Colorado Springs to be here. She jokes when explaining how even the toughest UFC fighters can struggle on a pilates ball when she isolates their weakest muscles in order to highlight where work is needed.
"What's been a shock is how little access to services these athletes have had in the past," she says. "It's amazing how some of them have never had medical guidance for preventative measures.
"I've had to build trust. I had a guy come in here and tell me he couldn't feel his left arm but he was going to fight. He was scared of telling people in the event he was pulled from competing but with work we restored him to full functionality in two weeks."
Former UFC welterweight Dan Hardy is part of the tour. The Nottingham-born 35-year-old describes the facilities as "night and day" to what he used.
"My life would be different now," he tells the group. "I used to work with friends for treatment, driving around for different things I needed."
Despite all the technology in what feels like the slickest of finishing schools, MMA critics still exist. Perhaps blighted by images of the ground and pound or blood-stained faces they question the morality of the sport.
But UFC's growth shows no sign of relenting. The company was sold for $4.2bn in 2016 and listening to Griffin it is obvious this is a sport with vision.
Mapping the layout of the Institute saw the UFC research facilities at the likes of Man City, the Phoenix Suns basketball team and the USA Olympic team base.
Habits were observed, such as an athlete's occasional tendency to neglect post-workout nutrition if access to it was not made easy. Consequently, UFC athletes can only exit the building by passing a nutritional team.
"We learned from mistakes people had made in the past," adds Griffin. "A facility and its staff may be too spread out. Manchester City have a great layout. The locker room is the centre of the building. The athletes start and end in the locker room so you build every service around that.
"Every sport taxes the human body a certain way. The needs and demands change but the impact on the body and the recovery needed is very similar."

Elsewhere on the ground floor we see anti-gravity treadmills which take away impact, a 50m outdoor track and walls with numbered targets for medicine balls to be thrown at.
The altitude chamber McGregor sometimes cycled is in use. This transparent box lets people look in at the world of pain it can serve up. Griffin proudly states UFC stars can now create conditions to prime them to fight anywhere on earth.
In a gym packed with contraptions, he points to pressure plates in the floor. Squatting and lifting weights while planted on these will deliver data on which limbs are offering the greater power. Once more, it offers a way to drill down and improve weaknesses.

We are led up stairs boasting the slogan "legends become champions and champions become contenders". These take us away from a ground floor focused on welfare and strength and to an upper tier which measures 17,000 square ft and is MMA specific.
Bags of varying shape and size hang there, an octagon dominates the room and of course, there is McGregor's boxing ring, home of those now infamous spars with Paulie Malignaggi.
He is of course a fighter obsessed with detail. This desert treasure chest caters for that intricacy in abundance.
And if all of the facilities have somehow polished him to a point where he can shock Mayweather at the T-Mobile Arena, UFC's main draw will achieve a status which will shine new focus on the company.
Its Performance Institute tells us the organisation is nothing but ready to thrive and what is more, it now boasts a factory primed to build the next McGregor.

The scandal, known as "uranium-gate", resulted from a 2011 transaction between French nuclear giant Areva and companies both in Niger and abroad.
There is also a French investigation into some of Areva's business dealings, with aspects related to this deal.
Areva has not commented on the legal case in Niger, but says it is cooperating in the French enquiry.
Niger is one of the biggest uranium producers in the world and the metal is the country's largest export.
Many people turned up on Friday morning outside the court in the capital, Niamey, as representatives of civil society movements arrived to register the court action, the BBC's Himadou Hamadou said.
Their complaint alleges embezzlement of public funds, money laundering, forgery and conspiracy to defraud.
The legal action centres on the allegation that Areva in 2011 bought a stock of uranium from Niger at a discounted price.
Niger has two significant uranium mines that provides 7.5% of the world mining output from Africa's highest-grade uranium ores, according to the World Nuclear Association, the international organisation that represents the global nuclear industry.
Niger's first commercial uranium mine began operating in 1971, with a strong government support for expanding uranium mining. | Activists in Niger have started legal action into a uranium deal in which the country is said to have lost $3.25m. | 39456878 | [

Leonie Granger from Gillingham, Kent, was sentenced at the Old Bailey having been found guilty of manslaughter.
Her boyfriend Kyrron Jackson, 28, and his friend Nicholas Chandler, 29, were found guilty of murder and jailed for life with a minimum term of 36 years.
Granger targeted Mehmet Hassan, 56, in a Mayfair casino in March last year.
Judge William Kennedy described the attack as "pitiless and wicked", adding: "It was quite simply an act of brutality which defies reason and compassion."
Granger's lawyer Orlando Pownall said she only took part in the plot as she was in love with Jackson and "fell in with his desires" and now "deeply regretted" her actions.
"Her head was turned by Jackson, who she loved, and to some extent by Chandler who was persuasive and superficially charming," he said.
But Judge Kennedy said she had been "deceitful from the outset" and had "lost her sense and compassion" when she got involved.
He added that she clearly cared more for Jackson than he cared for her.
Granger, who posed under the name of Rachel, was wined and dined by the divorced father of three who boasted to friends he was not paying her to be with him, the court heard earlier.
On the night he was killed, Mr Hassan had taken Granger to the upmarket Nobu restaurant before giving her £1,000 to gamble with at the nearby Palm Beach Casino.
The two were seen kissing passionately by a poker supervisor, before leaving the casino together for Mr Hassan's flat in Islington.
Granger then let Jackson and Chandler into the poker player's flat before leaving in a taxi.
Both men tied up Mr Hassan with parcel tape and a neck tie before kicking and stamping him to death, the trial was told.
Afterwards, while he lay dead in a pool of blood, all three were filmed on Granger's mobile phone throwing £50 notes around a room and even stuffing them in their underpants.
Commenting on the footage, Judge Kennedy told the three defendants: "The eloquence with which it speaks about you is deafening." | A woman who set a "honey trap" for a professional gambler who was kicked to death for his winnings has been jailed for 16 years. | 32495927 | [

They include a new water sports park, railway station and a sliproad from the M77.
The City Deal scheme will see eight council areas around Glasgow receive about £1bn from the UK and Scottish governments.
The councils also have the power to borrow extra cash.
The Glasgow and Clyde Valley City Deal involved massive investment by both the Scottish and UK governments last year.
Eight councils - Glasgow, East Renfrewshire, Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, North and South Lanarkshire and East and West Dunbartonshire - are involved.
The City Deal scheme will see Westminster and Holyrood give £500m each in additional grant funding to the eight council areas.
The councils will supplement this by borrowing £130m.
Councillors from across all eight areas will meet to discuss some of the schemes.
Several of the projects being discussed later are in East Renfrewshire, where £44m is expected to be invested over the next few years, with much of the money coming from the City Deal funding.
One is a water sports park at the Dams to Darnley Country Park. It would open in 2017 and include a centre offering wakeboarding, the fastest-growing extreme sport in the world.
A new railway station in Barrhead and sliproad from the M77 would serve an area which could become one of East Renfrewshire's fastest growth areas. The council expects 1,000 new homes to be built there.
Another project would transform the Levern Works site in Barrhead. A site formerly occupied by Nestle, where pet food was once made, would be cleared. The site will then be marketed for development for a range of uses that will bring new jobs to Barrhead.
A wide range of other infrastructure projects across the eight council areas will also be discussed. | Some of the first projects to be funded by the City Deal programme for the west of Scotland are to be discussed by councillors. | 33966126 | [

The Labour leader said his party would invest in infrastructure but expected action on low wages and workers' rights in return, while there would also be an increase in corporation tax.
He told the CBI that Labour's planned "national investment bank" would boost lending to small and medium-size firms.
The Tories said Labour only offered "spending, borrowing and taxing".
Mr Corbyn told delegates at the CBI's conference he would not tell them how to run their organisations but would not "stand back when there is injustice in the workplace or the boardroom".
He warned of "real problems" in today's jobs market, citing low wages, insecure temporary contracts and the gender pay gap.
"For too many families in Britain increasingly insecure work means they cannot plan for their future, or how to pay the bills, mortgage or rent," he said.
"There are far, far too many people struggling to make ends meet".
Mr Corbyn joked he and the CBI would both have been "shocked" if they had been told two years ago he would be addressing the conference.
But he said Labour had "plenty of common ground" with the organisation.
He vowed Labour would be "on the side of the innovators, entrepreneurs and investors", saying its investment bank plans would "unleash the creativity and potential of entrepreneurial Britain".
He said both the Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump in the United States represented "an unmistakable rejection of a political establishment and an economic system which hasn't been working for most people.
"It's a system that's delivered ballooning inequality along with falling or stagnating living standards for the majority."
Labour says it would increase borrowing to invest in infrastructure, and Mr Corbyn urged Chancellor Philip Hammond to "change course and take the bold action necessary to support our economy".
He said Labour would increase investment in green technology and boost house building.
Labour's "settlement for business", he said, "will mean some increase in corporation tax while maintaining one of the lowest rates in the world".
He added: "But see it as a sound investment not only in your own business's long-term future but for the common good of the country."
Mr Corbyn also warned of a "chaotic" Brexit and said Labour would campaign for Britain to "retain full access to the single market".
Conservative Party chairman Sir Patrick McLoughlin said: "Jeremy Corbyn has shown once again that all Labour offer is a recipe for economic ruin, while they're totally out of touch with the public's concerns on immigration as we leave the EU."
Prime Minister Theresa May addressed the CBI earlier, announcing £2bn of annual investment in research and development by 2020 and an industrial strategy aimed at spreading economic growth across the UK. | Jeremy Corbyn has promised Labour will work with business leaders if they "live up to their side of the deal". | 38056905 | [

Mr Poots made the comments on the BBC's Nolan Live on Wednesday night.
Speaking to Sinn Féin's Alex Maskey, Mr Poots said: "We'll do business with you because it's in the interests of Northern Ireland.
"We have peace in Northern Ireland, so we'll hold our noses and do business with you."
He added: "I do not like doing business with Sinn Féin. I hold my nose about what has gone on in the past, about the activities of the IRA over 25 years, of the murders that took place and there's a stench that still rises from that in many homes across Northern Ireland."
Mr Maskey said the comments had shown Mr Poots in his "true colours"
However, speaking on the BBC's Good Morning Ulster on Thursday, Mr Poots said "many people across Northern Ireland find it appalling that Sinn Féin are in government".
"They have an association with the IRA, who committed over 2,000 murders in Northern Ireland, and that's something that's very hard for all of us to accept, but we do it because we want to ensure there aren't thousands more people lose their lives as the result of Troubles in Northern Ireland in the years to come," he said.
"Whenever I look across the benches at Stormont, I see people who have been charged and convicted and served lengthy prison sentences for the most heinous of crimes, and that is not the case for republicans.
"I work with those people because they have got a mandate, but that doesn't mean I have to like it."
Speaking on the Nolan Show, the DUP's Simon Hamilton said he "understood entirely" what Mr Poots had meant.
"I think my generation maybe didn't suffer as much as others did during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, but that doesn't mean that I don't forget what the IRA did," he said.
"But I have a family of my own now and I don't want them to grow up into the sort of Northern Ireland that many people had to live through in the 70s and 80s and because of that I'm prepared to work with, and my party is prepared to work with, Sinn Féin who have a mandate from the electorate.
"I know what Edwin meant when he talked about a stench and it is that legacy of violence, IRA violence, down through the 70s and 80s and into the 90s that left a lot of people dead, left a lot of people injured."
Mr Hamilton, the health minister, has come under criticism recently over the DUP's policy of keeping its ministers in office for only a few hours each week while talks continue to resolve the current Stormont crisis.
Asked about his position, he said he would resume his duties for one day next week. | The DUP's Edwin Poots has defended comments he made that party members have to hold their noses when doing business with Sinn Féin. | 34473477 | [

Southgate, 46, stepped up from his role as England Under-21s manager in September following Sam Allardyce's departure after only 67 days in charge.
He oversaw two wins and two draws as interim boss and has signed a contract reportedly worth up to £2m a year.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the players over these past four games and I think there is huge potential," said Southgate.
"I am extremely proud to be appointed England manager. However, I am also conscious getting the job is one thing, now I want to do the job successfully.
"I'm determined to give everything I have to give the country a team that they're proud of and one that they're going to enjoy watching play and develop."

Former defender Southgate, who made 57 appearances for England as a player, becomes the fourth permanent manager of the national team in as many years.
The ex-Middlesbrough boss oversaw a comfortable World Cup qualifying win against minnows Malta, before his team laboured to a goalless draw in Slovenia.
He took a significant step towards being appointed full-time manager with a 3-0 win against Scotland in qualifying earlier this month, before his team squandered a 2-0 friendly lead against Spain at Wembley to draw 2-2 four days later.
Before becoming part of the international set-up, Southgate's only managerial experience was his three-year spell at Boro, who were relegated under him in 2009.
Southgate's understanding of international football and the development set-up at St George's Park has proved important, according to Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn.
"Gareth is a great ambassador for what the FA stands for, he's a very good football tactician and a leader, but beneath that he's a winner and that's an important part of the job," he added.
Southgate's first competitive match in charge as permanent manager will be a friendly against Germany in Dortmund on 22 March.

England defender Gary Cahill: "He's been there. He's been an England player at major tournaments, has the experience and knows how the players are feeling and the pressure you're under in an England shirt. He can relate."
England midfielder Jordan Henderson: "The manager has been brilliant. The players have got on really well with him. He gives responsibility to players and he listens."
Former England defender Danny Mills: "The job he's done is impeccable. He's made big decisions. A lot of people say he's too nice. Yes, he's an absolute gentleman, and very articulate, intelligent, but he's got an edge."
Former Scotland international Pat Nevin after England's win over Scotland: "Why do you have to give him the job now? There is no reason to do it. Wait until the summer and you have all sorts of options, one being Gareth still. England are going through anyway but you might be turning down the opportunity to get Arsene Wenger or someone of that ilk."
Former senior FA executive Adrian Bevington: "I think he is suited to the ebb and flow, the rhythm of international football. The players want to play for him and he is suited to that job and deserves the opportunity."
Southgate was given his first managerial job at Middlesbrough in 2006, when the then 35-year-old defender quit playing to take charge of his former side.
He led the Teesside club for 151 matches between 2006 and 2009, presiding over their relegation from the Premier League before being sacked with the team fourth in the Championship.
And his 28.4% win percentage in the league means he starts the England job with an unwanted record...
After leaving Boro, Southgate joined the Football Association in January 2011 as head of elite development, becoming England Under-21 boss on a three-year contract in August 2013.
Despite breezing through qualifying, the Young Lions failed to progress past the group stage at the 2015 European Championship.
When Hodgson quit in the summer, Southgate ruled himself out of the running to replace him, with Steve Bruce and Allardyce among the interviewees.
This time around it is not known whether anyone else was on the shortlist or even spoken to.
Southgate was interviewed at St George's Park last Monday by a panel including FA chairman Greg Clarke, chief executive Martin Glenn, technical director Dan Ashworth, League Managers' Association chairman Howard Wilkinson and former England defender Graeme le Saux.
Glenn said Southgate "performed extremely well" during the four games he was in temporary charge and "impressed us during a tough interview process".
The only mark against Southgate's time as interim manager was the FA banning England players from having nights out on international duty after captain Wayne Rooney was pictured drinking at a wedding.
Rooney apologised for the "inappropriate" images - taken on the evening after the Scotland game at the team hotel - while the FA was looking into reports that other squad members were out late three days before the Spain friendly.

Former England midfielder John Salako, who played with Southgate at Crystal Palace, speaking to the BBC.
Gareth had an inner steel, an inner confidence. Captain Sensible we called him. First out to training, last off the training pitch. He was a bright, intelligent lad. Not the most gifted of players but he worked on everything so hard.
Gareth was a real student of the game - he always had that aura about him that he could go on to be whatever he wanted to be.
Getting arguably the biggest job in football, I perhaps didn't see that coming. But the opportunity has come along. We're in turmoil a little bit. Gareth's a safe pair of hands and I'm thinking why not? He's won the Toulon tournament, he knows the crop of youngsters coming through, he knows what English football is about.
We want an Englishman in charge who was proud to put on that shirt, who knew what it was about, who had the passion to go and play for England. And he'll do that as England manager.
Ok he hasn't managed at the top Premier League level, Champions League level, but I don't think that matters. Get behind him, give him the opportunity to go and be a great English manager.
It is the perfect time for Gareth to step in. He'll do it from the heart, will use his head. No ego in it. He's not in it for the money, it's more about the prize of being England manager.
Phil McNulty, chief football writer
Southgate has rebuilt his managerial career since taking over as England Under-21 coach in August 2013. He endured a miserable Euros in 2015 when England's youngsters went out at the group stage but he was hampered by the FA's decision to omit players such as Raheem Sterling, Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley.
He saw the other side as England won this summer's prestigious Toulon tournament in France - but is this enough to warrant the top job?
Southgate is steeped in FA tradition, having had an 18-month spell as its head of elite development between January 2011 and July 2012 before his return as England Under-21 boss.
He knows what the England job entails after close contact with the likes of Roy Hodgson and Sam Allardyce and has clearly developed a taste for the pressures after his time in interim charge.

The paper ran a front page headline calling the comedian a "hypocrite" because he campaigns for economic and political "revolution" to help poorer people, yet he lives in a luxury home.
It's an accusation often made against the star.
How can such a rich man claim to speak up for the poor?
Viewers of Brand's vlogs - The Trews - are familiar with the inside of his spacious London home. It looks lovely and airy. It has wooden floors and exposed brickwork.
When the St Trinian's star was outside the prime minister's Downing Street home - supporting a campaign by residents of an east London estate who fear they will be turfed out of their homes to allow richer renters to move in - Brand was asked about his own accommodation by a TV reporter.
"Part of the problem is the super-rich buying property in London, isn't it? What kind of rent are you paying?"
Brand wasn't very happy with the question. He called the Channel 4 News journalist "a snide", before walking off.
Newsbeat contacted Brand to see if he was really going to take legal action against The Sun and its owner Rupert Murdoch.
He didn't reply, though he has been tweeting about The Sun and it's accusations of hypocrisy - using the hashtag #TheSunLogic.
The star's been condemned as a hypocrite plenty of times before. Here's how he's explained it in the past.
"Don't think I'm unaware of the inevitability of such a charge. I know, I know. I'm rich, I'm famous, I have money... There is no doubt that I as much as anyone have to change.
"Revolution is change. I believe in change, personal change most of all. Know, too that I have seen what fame and fortune have to offer and I know it's not the answer.
"Of course I have to change as an individual and part of that will be sharing wealth, though without systemic change, that will be a sweet, futile gesture."
"I can't deny that I've done a lot of daft things while I was under the capitalist fugue, some silly telly, soppy scandals, movies better left unmade.
"It's easy to attack me, I'm a right twerp, I'm a junkie and a cheeky monkey, I accept it, but that doesn't detract from the incontrovertible fact that we are living in a time of huge economic disparity and confronting ecological disaster."
"Now I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want inequality on the agenda because it is a real problem that needs to be addressed."
"A system that has posited me on a lilo made of thighs in an ocean filled with honey and foie gras'd my Essex arse with undue praise and money.
"The hypocrisy ... is a problem that can be taken care of incrementally."

"I'm really looking forward to it - the home of Scottish football," said Rodgers ahead of his maiden visit.
"I hear the pitch is good, a nice big pitch suits the speed in our team and our intensity.
"The technical area goes right out to the end of the pitch, but you might need a taxi to get back to your staff."
This will be Rodgers' second taste of the Old Firm derby and his experience of the fixture got off to a great start with a 5-1 league victory at Celtic Park last month.
"It was a brilliant performance by the players in every aspect," he recalled. "Obviously this one is on a neutral ground, but we'll be looking to have a similar performance.
"We'll be prepared and focused. We know it's going to be a tough game. We anticipated that the last time."
Rodgers is also aware Celtic's visit to Hampden last season in the Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers ended in defeat.
"The last experience there wasn't so good for Celtic," he said. "But it's a different team with a different mentality and we'll look to take that mentality into the game."
Rodgers lost two semi-finals in his time at Liverpool and is aiming to make it third time lucky at the club he joined in the summer.
"You have to perform - that's what's important and if you get little bit of luck along the way then hopefully you'll get the result that you want." said the Northern Irishman.
"So, for us, it's really looking at our performance level, which in the main has been at a really high level.
"My focus is always on my own team and, if we impose our style of play, it can give a lot of problems to opponents."
Unlike predecessor Ronny Deila, Rodgers would not be drawn on this semi-final being a step on the way to a potential domestic treble.
"It's very, very difficult to achieve," he said. "There's been great managers here in the past that haven't achieved that.
"But it's the first competition where we've a chance to win a trophy and I've always said that it's a priority for us because it's the first one.
"Our idea was to qualify for the Champions League, which we did, to make a good start in the league, which we've done, and then look to get to the League Cup final.
"Unless you can do that then you don't have the chance to win the trophies." | Manager Brendan Rodgers is sure Celtic can exploit the wide open spaces of Hampden when they meet Rangers in Sunday's League Cup semi-final. | 37732028 | [

The 80 signatories include leading figures in the Asian hospitality industry and award-winning gospel singer Rachel Kerr.
The PM is expected to recommend Britain remains in a reformed EU.
Remain campaigners said several Commonwealth leaders, including India's PM, had urged Britain to stay in.
The 80 figures from Britain's Commonwealth community criticised Mr Cameron for a lack of ambition in his EU reform demands, which he hopes to put to the public in a referendum in June.
They claimed the UK government's immigration policy discriminates against non-EU citizens.
In their letter to Mr Cameron, published by the Vote Leave campaign, they say: "As patriotic Britons of Commonwealth backgrounds, we saw the EU renegotiation as an opportunity to rediscover Britain's global vocation.
"As long as Britain's trade policy is controlled by the EU, we cannot sign bilateral free trade agreements with Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Australia, New Zealand or for that matter any other non-EU state.
"Vested interests on the Continent sustain a relatively protectionist policy. We have to apply the EU's common external tariff to exports from Commonwealth countries - hurting consumers here as well as producers there.
"At the same time, our immigration policy forces us, in effect, to turn away qualified workers from the Commonwealth so as to free up unlimited space for migrants from the EU.
"The descendants of the men who volunteered to fight for Britain in two world wars must stand aside in favour of people with no connection to the United Kingdom."
One of the signatories, Pasha Khandaker, president of the UK Bangladesh Caterers Association UK, said the 12,000 curry houses his organisation represents "have been struggling to recruit the talent that they need because of the difficulties associated with employing people from outside of the EU".
"If the UK had a fairer immigration system it would be easier for businesses to recruit skilled workers regardless of their nationality," he added.
Other signatories include Rachel Kerr, who won a Mobo award in 2012, in the gospel music category, and Moni Verma, founder of Veetee Rice, a UK-based food business with a turnover of £80m a year.
A spokesman for Britain Stronger in Europe said: "Several Commonwealth leaders have been very clear that Britain is stronger, safer and better off in Europe.
"Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Britain is the entry point for trade right across Europe; while Australia's former deputy prime minister said the Commonwealth could never replace the trade Britain does with the EU.
"We get the best of both worlds in Europe, trading freely with the world's largest market, as well as accessing free trade deals with over 50 countries around the globe.
"While Leave campaigners may look back with rose-tinted spectacles, they have no plan for what Britain outside the EU would look like, and no guarantee that trade, jobs and prices wouldn't be hit."
In a separate development, 63% of business people polled by the British Chambers of Commerce said David Cameron's EU negotiations would not change the way they will vote in the referendum.
The internet survey of 2,133 BCC members found 60% would vote to remain, down slightly from 63% in a previous poll in September, with 30% saying they would vote to leave, a 3% increase.
Those representing large firms were significantly more likely to vote 'remain' than small-business people.
BCC director general John Longworth said: "Our findings suggest that for business people, this is a question of in or out - not renegotiation." | Community and business leaders with Commonwealth links have written to David Cameron to urge him to back Britain's exit from the EU. | 35598038 | [

Police in Arkansas wish to unlock an iPhone and iPod belonging to two teenagers accused of killing a couple, according to the Associated Press (AP).
Less than a day after its San Bernardino announcement, the FBI agreed to help in the homicide case.
Syed Farook and his wife were shot dead after killing 14 people in December.
A judge agreed to postpone the Arkansas case on 28 March to allow prosecutors to ask the FBI for help.
Hunter Drexler, 18, and Justin Staton, 15, are accused of killing Robert and Patricia Cogdell at their home in Conway, Arkansas last July.
Staton had been raised as a grandson by the Cogdells.
"We always appreciate [the FBI's] cooperation and willingness to help their local law enforcement partners," Faulkner County prosecuting attorney Cody Hilland told the AP.
An attorney for Mr Drexler told the AP he was "not concerned" about any data on the phone.
Previously, the FBI had asked Apple to write new software that would allow it to gain access to Farook's iPhone.
However, the company refused, arguing it would be wrong to compromise the security of one of its devices since that might lead to vulnerabilities in many other iPhones. | The FBI has offered to unlock another iPhone for police after revealing it could access the handset used by San Bernardino killer Syed Farook. | 35933239 | [

The Iron have lost three of their last six league games, but are still second in League One.
The home defeat by Shrewsbury on 11 February ended a run of 26 league games without losing at Glanford Park.
"Let's get real, we are second in the league and that is after playing probably our worst football of the season," Swann told the club website.
"Do you honestly believe that when a player doesn't control the ball with his first touch of the game we should be on his back?"
He added: "The rumours of contract disputes, unrest in the team, a not-bothered attitude, is so far from the truth it hurts when I read it and certain people just want to derail our success whether knowingly, or not, which is even more annoying.
"We ask passionately that you all get behind them and give them that chance to recapture their form and yes, do not panic, because we can do it, we can get promoted and we can be proud of them."
The Iron were top of the table when they last won, against Port Vale on 28 January, but are now seven points behind leaders Sheffield United and level on points with third-placed Fleetwood.

Through the long, hot summer of 1976 Hunt's attempt to claw back a huge points deficit to reigning champion Lauda was big news in Britain.
The season was so dramatic it inspired director Ron Howard to make the 2013 film Rush.
However, almost the entire season - including the British Grand Prix - was not broadcast on television in the UK because one of the cars was sponsored by a condom manufacturer.
BBC Sport tells the story of how a forward-thinking contraception company led to an F1 blackout, as the sport draped itself in cigarette advertising.
Forty years ago, moral standards and sensitivities were different in Britain, while levels of advertising on TV, particularly in sporting events, would often be a source of angst.
Jonathan Martin, who was a producer on BBC's Sportsnight in '76 and would go on to create the Grand Prix programme two years later, says that F1 "already had a special place" because "broadcasters had to tolerate" on-car advertising, while "in many other sports it was invisible".
After all, on-shirt advertising was not allowed in televised league football matches in England until 1983.
In '76 not all F1 races were televised in the UK, with coverage generally focused on glamour events such as Britain, Monaco, Germany and Italy.
But these would all be blacked out when John Surtees signed a sponsorship deal with the London Rubber Company, which would see his team's main F1 car emblazoned with the Durex brand.
The tipping point came at the non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch in March, which the BBC was due to televise with Murray Walker commentating.
In his autobiography, Walker recalled: "As far as the BBC was concerned a visible Durex logo was totally unacceptable for family viewing.
"I arrived at Brands Hatch to be greeted by producer Ricky Tilling with the words: 'Hi Murray, we'll know by 11am whether we're going to be on air or not.'
"'What are you talking about, Ricky?'
"'Durex. We're not going to transmit the race unless Surtees agree to take it off their cars.'"
They did not, so the BBC packed up their cameras and left.
Surtees, the only man to win the world championship in F1 (1964) and on 500cc motorbikes (1956, '58, '59, '60), had set up his own team in 1970 but they struggled at the top level.
Finance, or the lack of it, was always an issue so it was almost a lifeline when the team was approached by the London Rubber Company with a sponsorship proposal "offering a decent sum of money".
Surtees recalls: "I said to them we would have to sit down and do it in a very wholesome and presentable way.
"I thought it would cause a stir but the fact remains that there was nothing sleazy about it and we weren't breaking any rules.
"It revitalised the team and gave it a second chance."
According to Martin, the Surtees sponsorship "caused a flurry at management level" at the BBC and ITV, who also broadcast occasional F1 races at the time.
"Grand prix racing already had a special place and then when Durex appeared on the side of a car, there were certain apoplectic people around," he said.
F1 in 1976 was all about Hunt and Lauda, the flamboyant British playboy and the methodical but brilliant Austrian. Although the two men got on well, conflict and argument was never far away.
Lauda had a 26-point lead when the cars went to Brands Hatch for the British Grand Prix in July but Hunt had won the previous race in France and had his points for finishing first in Spain reinstated after he had initially been disqualified.
A record crowd descended on the Kent circuit on a scorching day to roar Hunt on, but it appeared that his race was over when his McLaren was damaged in a first-lap crash that caused the race to be stopped.
Stewards looked to set stop Hunt from taking part in the restart because he had not completed a full lap of the track when the original race was red-flagged.
However, they soon changed their minds when the restless, sun-burned crowd began to slow-handclap, chant "we want Hunt" and throw missiles onto the circuit.
Cheers erupted when Hunt appeared on the grid and they were even louder when he won from Lauda to cut the Austrian's lead to 23 points.
The only TV coverage of the race in Britain was a short film shown on ITV's World of Sport a week after the event.
Two weeks on from Hunt's home win, Lauda almost died when his Ferrari exploded into flames in a crash at the notorious Nurburgring in the German Grand Prix. He suffered horrific burns, damage to his lungs and was given the last rites.
The Austrian survived and incredibly was back racing six weeks later at the Italian Grand Prix, by which time his championship lead was only two points over Hunt.
The press and the public were rapt. But, the short Brands Hatch film aside, British TV continued with its unofficial boycott of F1.
Lauda extended his championship lead to five points when Hunt spun off in Italy and the game appeared up when Ferrari's protest against Hunt's Brands Hatch win was upheld and the Briton was disqualified. The gap was now 17 points with three races to go.
But Hunt won in Canada and the United States, collecting 18 points while Lauda only managed two. It set up a showdown at the final race in Japan with the Austrian's lead down to three points.
At the BBC, it was time for a rethink.
"The Hunt-Lauda battle captured the public imagination," recalls Martin, who went on to become the BBC's head of sport.
"Especially when it went down to the last race in Japan, the management climbed down very rapidly off their social engineering stance.
"I was in the forefront of saying: 'Come on, we've got to go and do this' but I was helped in that by the fact that ITV were starting to think in the same way."
ITV had shown highlights of the penultimate race in the US and both broadcasters scheduled highlights of the Japanese GP.
Torrential rain in Fuji delayed the start and when it did eventually get under way, Lauda decided to retire after two laps as he considered the conditions too dangerous. Hunt splashed around the soaked circuit to finish third and take the title by a single point.
And, finally, British viewers were able to enjoy the drama.
Surtees, now 82 and still a keen follower of F1, says he was disappointed that the Durex sponsorship proved so unpalatable.
"It was purely a question of the BBC making their decision. From the point of view of the sport, I was very unhappy," he said.
"It was very important for the sport to be able to give a good platform for people to support it. It didn't make me happy that the BBC took that position.
"I thought it was ill-advised considering so many government agencies were out there pushing these products."
Martin, who says the interest generated by the Hunt-Lauda battle was the reason he suggested to BBC management that they should cover every F1 race from 1978, can see both sides of the argument.
"With hindsight, it was a fairly provocative thing to do. He was within his rights to do it just as the broadcasters were within their rights," he said.
"I think it pushed the broadcasters to the limit because F1 already had special dispensation compared with many, many other sports."

The announcement comes days after Russia and Turkey negotiated a ceasefire in Syria which is largely holding, according to the UN.
Russia has carried out air strikes on anti-government rebels since 2015.
Moscow's involvement is credited with turning the war in favour of its ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"In accordance with the decision of the supreme commander of the Russian armed forces Vladimir Putin, the Russian defence ministry is beginning the reduction of the armed deployment to Syria," Gen Valery Gerasimov was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies.
Tasks set for the carrier group, led by the Admiral Kuznetsov vessel, had been completed, the commander of the Russian force in Syria Col-Gen Andrei Kartapolov was quoted as saying.
Col-Gen Kartapolov said Russia still had sufficient air defence capabilities in its S-300 and S-400 surface-to-air missile systems deployed in Syria, AFP news agency reported.
The force reduction follows an order from President Putin on 29 December, days after Syrian government troops finally ousted rebels from the key battleground city of Aleppo in their biggest victory since the uprising against President Assad began in 2011.
Russia, along with Turkey and Iran, is now pushing for peace talks to be held later this month in the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana.
Russia first launched air strikes in Syria in September 2015, saying they were targeting the fighters of so-called Islamic State.
Last March, Russia announced it was withdrawing forces but continued air strikes.
This is not Russia's first "withdrawal" from Syria. In March 2016 President Putin announced the start of a pull-out. Some warplanes were flown out.
But Russia's military role continued and its air power remained decisive. Russia has aircraft, air defences and artillery deployed in Syria, along with many advisers working with Syrian government forces. But we have never been able to ascertain the exact scale of the Russian forces involved.
The initial phase of the Russian "draw-down" involves the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov and its naval group, which has hardly played a major role in the fighting. Russia's stated intention is to build up its bases in Syria for the long-term, but Mr Putin may be signalling that in Moscow's view, with the fall of Aleppo and the entrenchment of the Assad regime, one important phase of the fighting is over. | Russia is starting to withdraw forces from Syria and its aircraft carrier group will be the first to leave, the Russian armed forces chief says. | 38528654 | [

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs found the number had gone up by 200 million since 2013.
There has been a big problem with plastic carrier bags in the last few years, many of them can't be recycled and are often thrown away after they have been used.
The bags end up in rubbish dumps and even rivers causing big problems for the environment.
From October people in England will have to pay 5p for their plastic bags in a bid to encourage them to reuse the ones that they already have.
Supermarkets in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, where people are charged for carrier bags, have all seen a decrease in bags used.
Campaigners are hoping the charge in England will lessen the amount of bags being thrown away, helping the environment. | The number of plastic bags given out by UK supermarkets has increased for the fifth year in a row, rising to 8.5 billion. | 33652722 | [

Dai Young, boss of Premiership leaders Wasps, expects a number of his in-form players to make the cut.
"I'd like to think, the way we've played, we'll have a few in there," Young told BBC Sport.
"I know [Jones has] had contact with some of the players on a regular basis - we have got a number in the mix."
Jones will also name a trimmed down party of approximately 35 for a training camp in Brighton next week.
The final squad before the autumn Tests will be named on 26 October, and with injuries to Wasps' James Haskell and Harlequins' Jack Clifford, England currently have a void at open-side flanker.
Northampton's Teimana Harrison started there in England's last match - against Australia in Sydney as Jones' men wrapped up a series whitewash - and is set to be named in Friday's squad.
But the Wasps' pair of Guy Thompson and Sam Jones have impressed so far this campaign.
"There has been a lot of talk about Guy with his form at the start of the season," added Young.
"And everyone knows what a big fan I am of Sam Jones - his work-rate is phenomenal."
Hooker Tommy Taylor has been "excellent" according to Young, while Wasps number eight Nathan Hughes is likely to be involved having qualified on residency in the summer.
Scrum-halves Joe Simpson and Dan Robson have also both stood out in partnership with fly-half Danny Cipriani.
Meanwhile, Leicester flanker Will Evans has been touted as a possible solution to England's number seven conundrum.
Evans starred for the Junior World Championship-winning Under-20s in the summer, and followed that by being named in an England training squad in August.
It is understood Evans is set be named in the EPS on Friday, but his director of rugby at the Tigers, Richard Cockerill, says the 19-year-old should not yet be thrust into the international arena.
"Will is not ready to play international rugby," Cockerill told BBC Sport.
"The reality is he has started one game for Leicester, and before that he was playing for Ampthill in National One.
"Eddie sees him as a project player and is keen to get the transfer from 20s to the senior group - and his potential is huge.
"He is a great young player, who is going to be very, very good. But at the moment but he is not ready yet [for Test rugby]."
However, Cockerill feels differently about Mike Williams, the Zimbabwe-born Tigers forward, who is a firm part of Jones' plans, and could even make his England debut come November.
"Mike Williams has a little bit more experience," Cockerill said of the 24-year-old.
"Given the opportunity he is ready to step up to Test match level today." | England coach Eddie Jones will name his 45-man Elite Player Squad squad ahead of the autumn Tests at 10:00 BST on Friday. | 37512857 | [

Shots were fired from a car near St Brendan's Primary School and the victim was hit a number of times.
The shooting happened shortly after 15:00 GMT.
Ch Insp Jon Burrows said: "There are no words to describe the foolhardiness and complete disregard for the safety of the children and parents who were in the area at the time."
BBC News NI's home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney said the victim is a well-known criminal.
The man is receiving treatment for his injuries.

The eight-day race, a precursor to the Tour which begins on 2 July, starts with a 4km time trial on Sunday.
"There will be many challengers [in the Tour]. But if I must pick two, I would say Froome and Nairo Quintana," said Contador, also a two-time Tour winner.
"The Criterium will allow me to test myself against my rivals."
Team Sky rider Froome has won the Criterium in each of the two years he has won the Tour - 2013 and 2015 - but Contador, who rides for Tinkoff, has never won the Criterium.
"My primary objective is to finish [the Criterium] in good physical condition with respect to the Tour - to be ready," said the Spaniard.
"I'm not thinking about the overall victory but, obviously, if the chance is there..."
Astana's Fabio Aru and FDJ's Thibaut Pinot will also contest the Criterium, but Movistar's Quintana is not competing in the race. | Alberto Contador believes the Criterium du Dauphine is the perfect stage to renew his rivalry with two-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome. | 36453669 | [

The 19-year-old striker has appeared three times for Newcastle's first team.
"It was my first time away from home. My mum's not there to do everything for me, so I've got to be a big man for myself," he told BBC Radio Northampton.
"The football's obviously a bit different tempo-wise but I've managed to adapt to it and I'm enjoying it."
He continued: "A little bit (of homesickness), missing my family a lot but other than that it's alright."
Toney came through the Cobblers' youth ranks and scored 13 goals in 60 senior games, and is also the youngest player to represent Northampton.
He was named the Under-21 Premier League's player of the month for September after two goals in three appearances for Newcastle legend Peter Beardsley's side.
He also appeared in the Premier League as a substitute in September's 2-2 draw with Chelsea, and says that he is working on physical strength to compete in the top flight.
"If you're not sharp, you're not involved," he said. "I wouldn't try to disrespect the League Two standard, but they are sharper (mentally) and know what they are doing a lot more.
"You're trying to get stronger every day, especially at that level you need to be strong and fit, and that's the main thing I'm working on." | Ivan Toney has admitted he struggled with homesickness following his summer move from home-town club Northampton Town to Newcastle United. | 34505862 | [

Four buzzard nests and one goshawk nest were found abandoned in Moy Forest at Tomatin late last month.
The adult birds have disappeared and police said some of the sites appeared to have been deliberately disturbed by illegal activity.
Moy Forest is managed by Forestry Enterprise Scotland and the nests were being monitored by its staff.
Insp Mike Middlehurst, a wildlife crime officer at Police Scotland, said: "Raptor persecution is an ongoing issue for the Highlands and we need the public to come forward and work with us to try and eradicate this blight on the Highlands.
"Police Scotland with partners in the Highland Partnership for Action Against Wildlife Crime has worked to increase public confidence in reporting wildlife offences which has resulted in increased reporting.
"In this case a partner agency has a clearly documented history of birds being at this location."
He added: "I appeal to the public to come forward with information which may assist us in detection of wildlife crime which either relates to this incident or any other."
Giles Brockman, environment manager for Forest Enterprise Scotland, said: "I am really disappointed to see this case of deliberate persecution on the National Forest Estate.
"Forest Enterprise Scotland will work closely with partners to stop this unacceptable practice." | Police are investigating the disturbance of bird of prey nests in a forest south of Inverness. | 36467194 | [

Gerry, who died last year after a long battle with illness, was a household name who won acclaim for his unique style of radio broadcasting.
He was honoured at a ceremony in Dublin on Friday night.
His wife Christine accepted the award and said he would have been "so, so proud".
Gerry's career with the BBC spanned almost 30 years.
He began at BBC Radio Foyle in 1985, based in his home city Londonderry - or Stroke City, as he famously preferred to call it.
His popular mid-morning programme, in which he shared his often distinctive take on life, was then broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster.
He stopped broadcasting in 2012 due to illness.
He had previously won Radio Academy awards and Royal Television Society awards and became the first Northern Ireland broadcaster to be inducted into the Radio Academy hall of fame.
Inductees in the PPI hall of fame are chosen by a group of their peers in the Irish radio industry.
"When I heard about this, I knew this would mean so much - it would've been what Gerry would've loved," Mrs Anderson told BBC Radio Ulster's Stephen Nolan Show.
"Of all the things he's had in the past, all deserving, this would've been a biggie for him.
"I'm so proud of him for that and he'll never be forgotten."
Peter Johnston, the director of BBC Northern Ireland, said Gerry had "great wit and mischief" but also brought "real wisdom and insight" to his work.
"This recognition from the PPI is a fitting tribute to a true legend of our industry, something which is often said lightly but is genuinely true of Gerry." | BBC Northern Ireland broadcaster Gerry Anderson has been posthumously inducted into the Phonographic Performance Ireland (PPI) Radio Hall of Fame. | 34297867 | [

Like-for-like sales were up by 4.9% during the quarter compared with a year earlier, in part due to the continued success of meal deals.
The company said it would continue to benefit from "low cost pressures and a stronger consumer environment".
But it warned that wage pressures could drive costs up next year.
Chief executive Roger Whiteside told the BBC that the chain already paid staff more than the national minimum wage, but that rising labour costs would lead to "longer term inflationary pressure".
He said the business would "look for cost efficiencies to offset" any rising costs, but added that labour costs "held no fear for us".
Shares in Greggs opened sharply higher and continued to climb in afternoon trading.
"The good times continue to roll for Greggs, with the bakery chain posting an impressive third quarter performance, following on from a dynamic 51.3% increase in first half pre-tax profits," said George Scott at retail analyst Conlumino.
The chain said meal deals, where customers can buy a drink together with food at a discount, were proving popular, particularly at breakfast time.
Greggs has refitted 158 stores this year, while opening 65 and closing 47. The company now has 1,668 outlets.
"We have the High Street pretty well covered," Mr Whiteside said, so most new openings would be in other areas, such as motorway services and garage forecourts. | Shares in Greggs have jumped more than 10% after the bakery chain reported stronger than expected sales for the July-to-September period. | 34451796 | [

The 25-year-old forward has been signed for the second half of the Womens Super League season, which will resume for Blues on 29 June at home to Arsenal.
"It further outlines our intentions and vision of what we want to achieve at the club," said manager David Parker.
Blues fought off competition from some major European sides to sign Linden.
"It's a signal of the development the club is making not just in England but also in Europe that we are now attracting the top European players," added Parker.
She is the third German to join this season following the signing of Corina Schroder from Liverpool and the arrival in April of defender Marisa Ewers from Bayer Leverkusen.
On the back of two wins in three matches, Blues have climbed to third in WSL 1, seven points behind leaders Manchester City.
Linden said: "The conversations with David, (assistant manager) Marcus Bignot and (chief executive) Tim Andrews convinced me about the project and ambitions at the club.
"I'm looking forward to the new challenge to play in another country. I have always wanted to play in England."
Linden, who played at SGS Essen and Bayer Leverkusen before joining Frankfurt for the 2015-16 season, has represented Germany at every level. | Birmingham City Ladies have signed Germany international Isabelle Linden from Champions League holders FFC Frankfurt. | 36360286 | [

The study says girls as young as 10 are forced to marry much older men in countries including Afghanistan, Yemen, India and Somalia.
Save the Children says early marriage can trigger a cycle of disadvantage across every part of a girl's life.
Conflict, poverty and humanitarian crises are seen as major factors that leave girls exposed to child marriage.
"Child marriage starts a cycle of disadvantage that denies girls the most basic rights to learn, develop and be children," said Save the Children International CEO Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
"Girls who marry too early often can't attend school, and are more likely to face domestic violence, abuse and rape. They fall pregnant and are exposed to STIs (sexually transmitted infections) including HIV."

Europe struggles with migrant child brides
Gambia and Tanzania ban child marriages
Big money for Niger's child brides
The report, called Every Last Girl, ranks countries based on the hardest place to be a girl based on schooling, child marriage, teen pregnancy, maternal deaths and the number of women in parliament.
Chad, Niger, Central African Republic, Mali and Somalia were ranked at the bottom of the index.
The report says girls affected by conflict are more likely to become child brides.
It says many refugee families marry off their daughters as a way to protect them against poverty or sexual exploitation.
The charity used the example of a 13-year-old Syrian refugee in Lebanon it called Sahar - not her real name - who was married to a 20-year-old man. Now 14, she is two months pregnant.
"The wedding day, I was imagining it would be a great day but it wasn't. It was all misery. It was full of sadness," Save the Children quoted her as saying.
"I feel really blessed that I am having a baby. But I am a child raising a child."
The report says girls also suffer during humanitarian crises such as the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone where the shutting down of schools led to an estimated 14,000 teen pregnancies.
The UN children's agency, Unicef, estimates that the number of women married in childhood will grow from 700 million today to around 950 million by 2030.

It is hoped models of three soldiers - each depicting one of the old regiments - will be cast in bronze and displayed at the Arboretum in Staffordshire.
The Devonshire and Dorset Regimental Association said a "substantial amount" of the £140,000 cost had been raised.
A fundraising appeal has now been launched to raise the remaining money.
Mike Richardson, of the Devonshire and Dorset Regimental Association, said the sculptures would also be a "salute" to the families of those people who served in the three disbanded regiments, "not only in the small operations during so-called peace time but in the two devastating world wars".
Paddy King-Fretts, who served in the 2nd Battalion Dorset Regiment, completing three tours in Northern Ireland, said the statues "mean a lot".
"I've been to the National Memorial Arboretum three times and the names of my soldiers that fell are engraved on the walls there, but it's nice to have something to compliment that and for the rest of the nation to see and ponder about," he said.
The sculptures will be created in Andover, Hampshire, before moving to the Arboretum in Alrewas - the UK's national site of remembrance. | Three statues honouring the Devonshire, Dorset and combined Devon and Dorset Army regiments are being planned for the National Memorial Arboretum. | 36357323 | [

Hoilett joined on a free transfer on 10 October and was Warnock's first signing as Bluebirds boss.
The 26-year-old Canadian, who worked with Warnock at previous club QPR, made his Cardiff debut in Friday's 2-1 Championship win over Bristol City.
"It's great when you have a manager who believes in you," said Hoilett.
"I was 100% ready to go. I worked with him at QPR and he gave me an extra boost. I love working under Neil Warnock, so it was a no-brainer to come here to Cardiff," he added.
Warnock's first game in charge attracted the biggest crowd of the season so far at Cardiff City Stadium, 22,776, and Canada player Hoilett loved the experience.
"You could see everyone was giving their all. Everyone was running that extra yard for each other, putting tackles in," he added.
"We got the result, which is great for getting the bragging rights in a local derby. The atmosphere was magnificent." | Winger Junior Hoilett says the opportunity to be reunited with manager Neil Warnock made his decision to join Cardiff City a "no-brainer". | 37666670 | [
