Spinners Leach (6-78) and Dom Bess (3-45) ran through the visiting team's line-up as they were all out for 162, with only George Bailey (49) and Kyle Abbott (49) resisting.
Dean Elgar (60) and Tom Abell (40) started well, but Liam Dawson (3-48) struck to give Hampshire hope.
But Somerset still ended the day on top at 157-5, trailing by just five runs.
Leach was brought on in the ninth over of the day and quickly made the difference, having Dawson (13) caught at mid-wicket by Bess before the off-spinner dismissed Michael Carberry (17) caught behind.
James Vince, Rilee Rossouw, Sean Ervine and Lewis McManus then all fell within seven overs, with Leach and Bess taking advantage of turn off the pitch and some poor shots.
Australian Bailey used the reverse sweep well and Abbott struck four sixes, but Leach sent both back to the pavilion to end the innings.
Abbott removed Marcus Trescothick early before Elgar and Abell looked to be putting Somerset well on top with a partnership of 75.
However, Dawson followed Leach's earlier example, dismissing both run-scorers and the dangerous Peter Trego to leave things more balanced and take the tally to 15 wickets on day one.
Somerset spinner Jack Leach:
"Maybe the day has finished slightly in our favour. It was certainly a wicket that helped the spinners. Bessie bowled brilliantly and Dawson too. It's always nice when you get a few wickets.
"As far as the wicket is concerned, it's important not to presume anything. It could get worse or it could improve over the next couple of days.
"We are closing in on their total and the remaining batsmen should take heart from some of the innings they played last year when the tail wagged."
Hampshire coach Craig White:
"It was an amazing day's cricket. There was certainly a fair bit of spin out there, but we are a little disappointed with the total we posted.
"Having said that, to get them five wickets down at the close, was excellent on our part. Had things have gone our way, it could have been seven or eight down.
"It's pretty tough to bat on it, but tomorrow is a new day. We need to have a good first hour and take sure that we are out there batting again as quickly as possible." | Jack Leach took six wickets to help Somerset gain the upper hand against Hampshire on day one at Taunton. | 0.878622 | 1 |
Dyfed-Powys Police said the collision occurred just north of Welshpool at about 14:50 GMT on Friday, leaving the road closed for several hours.

Public Health England (PHE) wants widespread vaccination to stop flu spreading to "at risk" people.
These include pregnant women, young children, over 65s and those with conditions such as asthma and diabetes.
Last winter 904 people were admitted to intensive care with flu and 98 of them died.
Children up to the age of three were eligible for free vaccination last year, and four-year-olds have now been included.
For those aged two, three and four, this is given as a nasal spray rather than an injection.
Flu viruses constantly mutate so a new vaccine is devised each year and annual jabs are needed to stay protected.
Flu has been comparatively mild in recent years, and health officials are concerned this could lead to complacency.
Prof Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer for England, said: "Flu is a really unpleasant illness, particularly for our most vulnerable patients, and it is essential that people take steps to protect themselves during the winter months.
"I would urge those who are offered the free flu vaccination to visit their GP early in the flu season.
"I also urge all health care workers to make they are vaccinated to protect themselves, their patients and their families".
Dr Paul Cosford, director for health protection and medical director at PHE, said about 40% of pregnant women were vaccinated last year - a figure he hoped would be higher this year.
"Women can safely have the vaccine at any point during pregnancy and it can reduce the risk of complications such as pneumonia and premature birth, that can arise as a result of flu," he said.
The government's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation has advised offering free flu jabs to all two to 17-year-olds.
PHE is in the process of extending the coverage.
Similar vaccination schemes operate in Scotland, where two million people are to be offered free vaccination this year, Wales and Northern Ireland. | Four-year-olds in England are to be offered free flu vaccinations for the first time as part of the annual drive to get people protected before winter. | 2.892306 | 3 |
The camera on Cardiff's southbound North Road was the busiest in both the South Wales Police area and Wales.
The total offences captured across Wales' force areas rose from 169,000 in 2015 to 171,000 (1.1%) last year.
Road safety partnership Go Safe said the locations with the highest numbers reflect the level of traffic.
Operations manager Teresa Healy said: "The proportion of drivers exceeding the speed limit represents a small percentage of the overall traffic flow and should not be considered the usual speed of traffic on these roads."
Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said there should be no perception that cameras are more about raising revenue than they are about safety.
He added: "We have made repeated calls for camera site accident data to be made public so we can all see the facts.
"The best camera would be one which detected no one speeding. Where hundreds if not thousands of people are being caught then that very fact is telling us that the presence of the camera isn't working and it's time to ask why."
He said it could be because speed limits are not being clearly displayed, the road layout may need looking at or additional measures may be needed.
North Wales Police's busiest speed camera - on the A483 dual carriageway at junction 7, Rossett, in Wrexham - recorded about 4,500 offences.
There were about 4,400 offences recorded by the speed camera between junction 23a to junction 24 on the westbound M4, near Newport - the busiest in the Gwent Police area.
The top-recording camera in the Dyfed-Powys Police area - on the A44 at Ponterwyd, in Ceredigion - registered about 650 offences in 2016.
The figures were obtained via an Freedom of Information request made by BBC Radio Wales' Dot Davies programme.
Drivers penalised for a speeding offence in the UK now face minimum fines of £100 and three penalty points.
If all the offences recorded across Wales in 2016 were upheld, the total fines would be worth at least £17.1m.
In April, it was revealed more than 13,000 people were caught speeding on the M4 around Newport since enforcement was introduced six months earlier - an average of 84 a day. | Wales' most prolific speed camera recorded more than 8,400 offences last year - potentially generating £840,000, new figures have revealed. | 1.238773 | 1 |
Blood was seen dripping from the South Africa-bound cargo plane during a refuelling stop, the Herald paper said.
Zimbabwe's Civil Aviation Authority said the matter had been handed over to the police to investigate.
Its chief, David Chawota, said the cargo on the US-owned plane belonged to the South African Reserve Bank.
A senior official at the bank, Pradeep Maharaj, said: "The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) is aware of an aircraft carrying a SARB consignment that stopped in Harare and was detained following the discovery of an unidentified body that is presumed to be a stowaway on the aircraft."
The bank was working with authorities to ensure that the cargo was released and transported to South Africa, he told the BBC.
The plane had been travelling from Germany to South Africa and belonged to Florida-based Western Global Airlines, Zimbabwean officials said.
It had made a request to land at Zimbabwe's Harare International Airport to refuel, they said.
An airport source told the Zimbabwe Herald that after seeing the blood on Sunday airport attendants "discovered a suspended dead body in the plane". | A plane with a cargo of millions of South African rand has been impounded in Zimbabwe after a dead body was found on board, state-run media report. | 1.724541 | 2 |

Liz Page's mother, Phyllis Lilley, 94, was admitted to Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester after a stroke last year.
The hospital, which has apologised, called to say she had passed away during the night.
Mrs Page told The Sun it did not enter her mind that the body would not have been her mother.
Speaking to BBC News, she said: "I last saw my mum on a trolley with an oxygen mask over her mouth in A&E, [her death] was the news I was expecting.
"My husband took me about an hour or so later. We were shown a lady in a cubicle, she looked like my mum looked when she'd been asleep in her chair, with her mouth open and her nose in the air, and her hair stuck to her forehead.
"I just said simply 'goodbye' and kissed her forehead."
Mrs Page returned home with her husband to Charminster, near Dorchester, and began making funeral arrangements until the hospital rang up later that day to say there had been a mistake and her mother was still alive.
"The gist was that my mum wasn't dead, they found her in another part of the ward," Mrs Page said.
"Nobody should receive news that someone has died, be shown the wrong body in a state of grief and then find out they're alive."
Mrs Page said staff told her the woman who died had a similar name.
She has never revealed the ordeal to her mother, who is now in a care home. Mrs Page said she decided to speak out to help prevent future mix-ups.
Dorset County Hospitals NHS Trust said it was an "unacceptable situation" and it had fully investigated the March 2014 incident.
A spokesman added: "Mrs Page made a complaint to the trust and received a full explanation and apology from the chief executive.
"We are extremely sorry for the distress caused to Mrs Page and her family. The staff involved were also very upset by what happened and lessons have been learnt. Nothing of this nature has happened since this incident 18 months ago."

After photographs of her West Highland Terrier received more "likes" on social media than even the most stunning Glencoe landscapes she could capture, Sam Grant conceded that "the wee white dug" should star in her Scottish travel blog.
"Casper is my unique selling point," says Sam Grant, an Edinburgh-based VisitScotland ambassador who spends her spare time travelling the country with her pet.
She adds: "There are lots of travel bloggers out there who are very good writers, but they don't have the wee white dug."
Her eccentric website details places of interest in areas including Orkney, Loch Lomond and the Scottish Borders.
It was launched in 2015 after an Instagram account written from Casper's perspective proved popular with followers.
The social media profile has nearly 4,000 followers, who Sam says "can't get enough" of the wee white dug's quirky anecdotes about his travels.
Sam says travelling with Casper has given her lots of insight into Scotland's best pet-friendly tourist attractions and holiday accommodation.
She says: "There are loads of good places that you can visit nowadays where you can bring along your four-legged friends."
Sam hopes the blog could encourage more Scots to look around their own country, as well as attracting other visitors.
She says: "If you visit the beaches in the Outer Hebrides, you'll see there's really no need to go to the Caribbean - unless you're a sun worshipper.
"Scotland's a country with a rich history and heritage. A country full of stories just waiting to be told."
Sam says most traffic to her website comes from the UK and US but she has had visitors from more than 100 countries - including China.
"When I see that I've had visitors from far-flung countries, I imagine them on the other side of the world reading about Scotland and the wee white dug," the writer adds.
Asked if she thinks some people could say her pictures are a bit twee, Sam replied: "I did worry about that at first, so I try to make a joke of it.
"But if people like my pictures and they bring a bit of happiness to someone's day, then why not?" | . | 1.167338 | 1 |

He beat Novak Djokovic, Katie Ledecky, Usain Bolt, Jordan Spieth and Serena Williams after the award was decided by a public vote for the first time.
Carter, 33, was an integral part of the New Zealand team that beat Australia 34-17 to win the World Cup in October.
The highest ever points scorer in Test rugby, he won the World Player of the Year award for a third time in 2015.
"I'm thrilled to have been voted BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year by the UK public," said Carter.
"It's been an incredible year for me on British soil and the support has been phenomenal.
"It was an incredibly competitive shortlist and I'm honoured to have been recognised alongside these great sportsmen and women from around the world."
Fly-half Carter, who joined French side Racing 92 after the World Cup, missed the All Blacks' win in the 2011 final through injury but fought back to regain the number 10 shirt for the 2015 edition.
He went into the tournament, which took place in England in September and October, acknowledged as one of the greats of the game but with some doubts over his form and whether his body could still withstand the rigours of international rugby.
However, the longer the World Cup went on the better he played and, after landing a vital drop-goal in the edgy win over South Africa in the last four, a sublime performance in the final against the Wallabies saw him win the man of the match award.
In total he kicked 19 points, made 11 tackles and was an unruffled decision-making presence as New Zealand became the first team to defend the World Cup.
Carter, who retired from international rugby after the World Cup final, won 112 caps for the All Blacks in a Test career that started with victory over Wales in 2003.
He was born and raised in the town of Leeston, 30 miles south west of Christchurch in New Zealand's South Island.
The fly-half made his debut for the Christchurch-based Crusaders Super Rugby team in 2003 and, bar a brief injury-hit spell with Catalan side Perpignan, remained with them until his move to Parisians Racing 92, for whom he made his debut in the recent 33-3 European Champions Cup win over Northampton. | Rugby World Cup-winning fly-half Dan Carter has been named 2015 BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year. | 1.036799 | 1 |
Hudson's arrival on a one-year contract can help counter balance the potential loss of Ian Sharps and Ben Heneghan.
Hudson, 24, was released after helping Wrexham finish eighth in the National League, nine places above Chester.
Chester have also confirmed that former Wrexham left-back Johnny Hunt, 25, has agreed a new one-year deal.
Hunt follows the lead of Luke George, Kane Richards,James Alabi and Jordan Chapell in signing new contracts.
Chester suffered a blow earlier this month when John Rooney, brother of England captain Wayne Rooney, turned down the offer of a new contract to move the other way across the Welsh border and join Wrexham.
New manager Jon McCarthy, who was appointed as Steve Burr's successor in May, has also lost 22-goal top scorer Ross Hannah to Barrow,
But two more signings are expected to be announced at Bumpers Lane in the next week.

Thirteen local authority areas are set to benefit from the latest planned rollout of services.
Some places will be able to access high speed technology for the first time.
Others will see an expansion of existing fibre broadband provision.
Digital Scotland is a publicly-funded initiative made up of two projects, one covering the Highlands and Islands and the other the rest of Scotland.
The first locations in the Highlands and Islands, in Inverness-shire and Moray, were announced in October 2013.
The latest announcement includes the first locations to have their networks upgraded, as well as places such as Bridge of Allan, Castle Douglas, Findhorn, Fochabers, Kintore, Melrose, Scone and Taynuilt, which will receive superfast broadband for the first time.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "The scale of the challenge of delivering fibre broadband into rural Scotland is greater than any other part of the UK and indeed, much of Europe.
"It's fantastic news that many rural communities and businesses, from the Highlands to the Borders, will soon begin to see the benefits of high quality digital connectivity, making them more economically viable in the long term."
The Scottish government is involved in the Digital Scotland partnership along with local government organisation Cosla, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and other public bodies and businesses.
Cosla spokesman Stephen Hagan said the announcement was "the start of the narrowing of the digital divide between rural and urban areas across Scotland".
He added: "Local communities across Scotland, especially in rural areas, have been loud and clear that better speed broadband services were a top priority for them and for that reason all 32 Scottish Councils agreed last year to pool over £90m to deliver this project alongside European Union funding of more than £20m."
Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael said: "It is good to see progress being made by Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the Scottish Government to deliver on the UK Government's commitment to achieve a transformation in broadband across the country by 2015."
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport's Broadband Delivery UK project aims to provide superfast broadband access to "to at least 90% of premises in the UK". | About 39,000 more homes and businesses across Scotland are to get fibre optic broadband as part of the Digital Scotland partnership, it has been announced. | 1.862751 | 2 |
The men, who were sporting underpants bearing the Malaysian flag, are being investigated for "intentional insult" and a possible breach of the peace.
Photographs of the men parading the country's national colours were widely shared on social media.
The incident has been criticised in the majority Muslim country.
Twitter users have accused the men, aged between 25 and 29, of causing offence and insulting Malaysia.
"A bit of respect for the country you're visiting?" writes @johnqgoh, with others referring to their actions as "embarrassingly stupid".
The Australian men were detained at 17:00 on Sunday and will be held for four days at a facility outside the capital, Kuala Lumpur, Sepang police chief Abdul Aziz Ali told local media.
They are being investigated for public indecency and disrespecting the national flag.
Malaysia has strict rules on any display of public indecency and foreign offenders are typically issued a fine before being deported.

Both clubs had leads from last weekend's first leg matches at home in the second round of the African Confederation Cup, the continent's second tier club competition.
Djoliba were 2-0 up over Egypt's Al Masry and Onze Createurs had a 1-0 advantage over Rwanda's Rayon Sports.
The two clubs had already set off for their return matches in Ismaili and Kigali but were barred from playing after Fifa banned the west African country on Friday, the Confederation of African Football (Caf) confirmed in a letter to the Mali Football Federation.
The ban comes after Mali's sports minister Housseini Amion Guindo sacked the executive committee of the country's football federation, in violation of Fifa regulations that member FAs must be able to manage their affairs independently without government interference.
The decision means that Mali, placed 61st in the world rankings, cannot be involved in any international activity of any kind until the dispute is resolved to Fifa's satisfaction. | Bamako-based clubs Djoliba and Onze Createurs became the first casualties of Fifa's suspension on Mali after they were stopped from playing in African club competition on Saturday and effectively disqualified. | 1.064827 | 1 |

Mrs White's letter, dated Thursday 3 December, read: "Your daughters and sons may have told you about a serious incident that happened yesterday lunchtime in school."
"Three teenage female intruders came on to our site to find a particular year 11 Notre Dame student. One of the intruders physically assaulted that student just outside the basketball courts."
Mrs White said the school was "investigating the involvement of any Notre Dame student who may have instigated this recent aggression."
In a statement she told the BBC: "We have increased security measures for the protection of our pupils; in the short term this means locked gates with staff in attendance. We will be taking advice on further long term security measures this week."
"Our community was deeply shocked by the incident and we have taken serious and immediate action."
Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said officers were called to a report of an assault at the school, at about 14:30 GMT on Wednesday.

William Beaton, 73, from Devon, admitted wildlife crimes carried out in late May and early June this year.
Beaton was spotted collecting an arctic tern egg on a beach at Furrowend, Shapinsay.
He was later found to be in possession of eggs, including those of rock doves and great skuas, and an extending spoon, used to collect eggs.
'Serious implications'
Beaton was fined at Kirkwall Sheriff Court under Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 legislation.
Gary Aitken, procurator fiscal for wildlife and environment, said: "Scotland is home to a wide range of wild bird species, both rare and common, and all are protected by law.
"It is an offence to intentionally take the egg of any wild bird as it can have serious implications for their conservation and habitat.
"We hope this prosecution will serve as a clear message to others who participate in the illegal practice of collecting wild bird eggs that this type of offending will not be tolerated." | A retired solicitor who took wild bird eggs from a nest in Orkney has been fined £4,200. | 2.092344 | 2 |

The Foxes say they received "numerous complaints" and "will not accept the safety of our supporters, players, and staff being compromised".
Lions fans ran on the pitch after the League One side's 1-0 FA Cup victory.
Millwall said they were "disappointed" the complaint was not made on Saturday.
Mounted police were deployed after the game to keep the home fans away from the Leicester enclosure.
The FA says it intends to speak with the Premier League champions over the issue.
A Leicester City spokesman said: "We have personally congratulated Millwall on a merited victory and wish them every success in the sixth round.
"However, following receipt of numerous complaints relating to the constant abuse, provocation and intimidation of our players, staff and supporters from our arrival at the stadium, throughout the match and in its immediate aftermath, we have registered our dissatisfaction with the FA. We are awaiting their response."

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

"It is out of our control," he said. "To win the title, it will depend on us to improve the results but also on other clubs who are above us to lose matches.
"Even if we win every game between now and the end of season, we still depend on other results.
But he added: "Next year people can be sure Chelsea won't be playing in the Championship."
The Chelsea boss said he felt things were going against his side and his players "deserved more" from a game decided by Steven Naismith's hat-trick.
"From the first game of the season until now, they deserve better than what they have got," he said.
"Today the game was completely under control and every mistake we made we were punished. Every shot is a goal, every mistake is a goal.
"The moment is so negative that everything goes against us. At the tactical meeting we had this morning, even the computer broke. But of course it was not because of that that we did not win."
Chelsea play Maccabi Tel Aviv in the group stages of the Champions League in midweek and Mourinho believes it is the perfect opportunity for a response from his players.
He added: "I know that a lot of people are happy that after so many years to see me in a situation like this.

The move, which will become law on 1 October, follows a similar ban in Wales and aims to protect young people under 18 from second-hand smoke. Scotland is also considering introducing a ban.
Anyone found flouting the law in England could be fined £50.
The British Lung Foundation welcomed the ban as a victory, but smokers' group Forest said it was unenforceable.
It will not apply to anyone driving alone or driving in a convertible car with the top down.
The regulations were passed in the Commons after 342 MPs voted in favour of legislation while just 74 voted against.
More than 430,000 children are exposed to second-hand smoke in cars each week, according to the British Lung Foundation,
Passive smoke in children can increase the risk of asthma, meningitis and cot death, say public health experts.
While many support a ban, some say it is an unnecessary intrusion.
Public Health Minister, Jane Ellison, said: "Three million children are exposed to second hand smoke in cars, putting their health at risk.
"We know that many of them feel embarrassed or frightened to ask adults to stop smoking which is why the regulations are an important step in protecting children from the harms of secondhand smoke."
Dr Penny Woods, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation, said: "This is a tremendous victory.
"We urge the Government to show the same commitment to introduce standardised packaging for all tobacco products, in order to protect the 200,000 children taking up smoking every year in this country.
"We are certain that these measures together will prove to be two of the most significant milestones for public health since the smoke-free legislation of 2007."
But Simon Clark, director of the smokers' group Forest, said the legislation was excessive.
"The overwhelming majority of smokers know it's inconsiderate to smoke in a car with children and they don't do it. They don't need the state micro-managing their lives," he said.
"The police won't be able to enforce the law on their own so the government will need a small army of snoopers to report people." | Drivers in England will be banned from smoking in their cars if they are carrying children as passengers. | 2.232268 | 2 |
The university has upped its standard entry offer so that anyone aiming for a science-based degree will need two A*s and an A at A-level or equivalent.
The current offer is one A* and two A grades.
For other subjects, the standard entrance offer will remain A*AA, the university said.
Cambridge insisted that the change was not "raising the bar" for would-be students, as more than nine in 10 (92%) successful science applicants had already scored A*A*A or better at A-level.
In a statement, the institution said: "The university believes that the revised offer gives applicants a clearer indication of the level of attainment realistically required to compete for a place, and to thrive on science courses.
"The university will continue to make non-standard offers where appropriate, based on consideration of relevant contextual data including any extenuating circumstances which may have adversely affected an applicant's academic attainment."
The A* grade was first awarded in the summer of 2010 as part of a bid to distinguish between the best students.
To receive the grade, students must score at least 90% on their papers in the second year of their A-levels and obtain an A overall.
Figures published last summer show that 7.6% of exams were awarded an A* in 2013 compared with 7.9% in 2012.
Cambridge was among the first universities to adopt the A* grade - its standard conditional offer to students in 2010 was A*AA.
Oxford University did not use the A* grade for the first two years, but has used it as an admissions requirement since 2012.
The standard minimum entry requirement for Oxford varies by course - from AAA for history, to A*AA for medicine and A*A*A for mathematics. Most science courses require A*AA. | Students who hope to take up a place on a science degree course at Cambridge University will need to score higher grades in their A-levels from 2015. | 2.116488 | 2 |
The Conservative MP told the Newark Advertiser he would probably be the only UK MP at the event next week.
Mr Jenrick, 35, who has represented the Nottinghamshire constituency since 2014, said he would also be meeting trade representative Bob Lighthizer.
Critics on Twitter said the trip was "horrifying" and "disgusting".
In a tweet, Mr Jenrick, a ministerial aide to Justice Secretary Liz Truss, said: "Fascinating to be in DC next week & pleased to be meeting Bob Lighthizer, incoming Trade Representative to push for a UK-US free trade deal."

Twitter user Zapsi replied: "it's honestly disgusting that you think the best way to represent your constituents is to cosy up to trump and pence".
While another, called Mr Smith, wrote: "i think the word you require is 'horrifying' not 'fascinating'."
Robert Jenrick is the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on international trade and said he would be the first British MP to meet the incoming US Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer.
As part of the visit to Washington DC, the Newark MP has accepted an invitation to the inauguration ceremony.
This has prompted criticism on social media, with some people accusing him up of "cosying up" to the President-elect.
Mr Jenrick has told me, however, that his presence at the inauguration isn't an "endorsement" of Donald Trump.
He said he's always believed in the importance of the "special relationship" and the need to build bridges with the new American administration, particularly post-Brexit.
Mr Jenrick told his local paper, the Newark Advertiser, that while Mr Trump might not be everyone's first choice as president, "we have to work with his administration".
"I hope to persuade Mr Lighthizer that the UK should be at the front of the queue for a free trade deal rather than at the back of it as President Obama threatened on the eve of the (Brexit) referendum," Mr Jenrick added.
Mr Jenrick was elected as MP for Newark in a by-election in June 2014 after Patrick Mercer resigned in disgrace, and won the seat with an increased majority at the general election of 2015. | Newark MP Robert Jenrick has been criticised after he announced he will be attending Donald Trump's inauguration as US President. | 1.098232 | 1 |
Kumar Lama, 49, from St Leonards, East Sussex, had faced an Old Bailey retrial after being cleared by a jury earlier this year of one charge of torture.
The Crown told the court it believed there was no realistic prospect of conviction on a second charge.
Mr Justice Sweeney formally acquitted Col Lama.
The decision not to go ahead with the retrial was made because of inconsistencies in evidence, the court heard.
It had been alleged Col Lama ordered the torture of two detainees held at the Nepalese Army barracks.
He was arrested in January 2013 while on leave in the UK from his posting as a UN peacekeeper in South Sudan.
Charges were brought under section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act, which allows suspects to face trial before a British court even if their alleged offences are committed abroad and they are not UK citizens.
The original trial last year had to be abandoned because of difficulty finding Nepalese interpreters.
Col Lama's solicitor Jonathan Grimes, said his client had always maintained he never ordered or was complicit in torture.
"The past three-and-a-half years has been an extremely frustrating and stressful period for Colonel Lama and his family," he said.
"There have been unacceptable delays in bringing this case to a conclusion.
"I hope that the CPS will reflect carefully on its selection and management of this case and will learn lessons for the future."
A CPS spokesman said: "This was an unusual and challenging case and we respect the decision of the jury.
"We will not be seeking a retrial having considered the developments at the trial." | The case of a UK-based Nepalese colonel accused of torture in his home country 11 years ago has collapsed after costing an estimated £1m. | 1.198251 | 1 |
The incident was reported at about 08:05 BST on Wednesday night. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said the man was taken to Altnagelvin Hospital.
Sean McGlinchey, a Sinn Féin councillor, said he spoke to the victim who told him he was from Londonderry.
He said the man told him that he had been taken from his Derry home by three men.
"He said he was going to his see his father who is in Altnagelvin Hospital on life support.
"He said he couldn't understand why he was taken out and shot. He didn't know where he was, he was that confused."
Mr McGlinchey added that the victim "must have crawled about 20 or 30 yards down the road" to find help after being shot.
"A local resident spotted him, phoned an ambulance and stayed with him until an ambulance came so I have to commend him.

Solicitors acting for Smech Properties Limited, which owns the Longcross Estate, have served papers on Runnymede Council.
Crest Nicholson was granted permission for the "village" on a site in Longcross, near Chertsey, in July.
Smech Properties is owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.
Sheikh Mohammed is also vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates.
Smech Properties is applying for a judicial review relating to the process the council followed in granting planning permission for the former Defence Evaluation and Research Agency site.
A council spokesman said the authority was currently drafting and submitting its summary grounds of defence.
Mario Leo, the council's corporate head of governance and assets, said: "This judicial review has been brought on a number of technical legal grounds relating to the process the council followed in making its decision to grant planning permission.
"It is the view of the council that it has fully complied with its legal obligations and it will defend this claim vigorously."
A spokeswoman from Allen & Overy solicitors, who are acting on behalf of Smech Properties, said she could not comment because the case was ongoing.

Three potential sites in south-west Wales have been shortlisted for the 100,000 sq ft facility by project developers Tidal Lagoon Power.
General Electric and Andritz Hydro have been appointed as preferred bidders if the £1bn project goes ahead.
The companies have committed to supply 16 turbines to the tidal lagoon and to the operation of the assembly plant.
Initially employing 100 people, the plant will be able to ship one 7.35m diameter runner turbine a month.
It then hopes to scale up its operations, shipping at least one turbine a week by 2018 as the UK moves to moves to construct more full-scale tidal lagoons. | Up to 100 jobs could be created at a turbine assembly plant in Wales for the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon project. | 1.347653 | 1 |
The CIPS/Markit Construction Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 55.9, from 54.2 a month earlier, as confidence levels hit a nine-year high. Any reading above 50 indicates growth.
The Conservative majority in May's general election boosted the sector.
Markit's Tim Moore said that result meant a "period of policy uncertainty was no longer on the horizon".
"Additionally, construction firms experienced an upturn in new business growth from April's near two-year low and job creation was the fastest recorded so far in 2015," he added.
"However, it is far from certain whether the relief rally in construction confidence will usher in a lasting turnaround in output volumes on the ground."
Sterling hit an intra-day high of $1.5248 after the construction figures came out, before slipping back slightly, to stand 0.22% ahead for the day.
The PMI also showed construction firms took on staff at the fastest rate in five months during May.
"Greater workloads and efforts to guard against worsening sub-contractor availability were factors supporting sustained job creation, according to survey respondents," said Markit. | UK construction rebounded in May from a near two-year low in April, a closely watched survey has indicated. | 1.061443 | 1 |
The Grantham Canal runs from the Lincolnshire town of Grantham, through Leicestershire, before joining the River Trent in Nottinghamshire.
The Canal & River Trust is dredging silt from a 6km (3.7 miles) stretch designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The trust said the £179,000 project should help a rare pondweed to thrive.
Lucie Hoelmer, from the Canal & River Trust, said; "The Grantham Canal is a really special place for wildlife making it one of the nation's most cherished waterways.
"However, whilst it looks idyllic we do have to give a helping hand from time to time to make sure particular species, such as reeds, don't dominate and harm the overall ecology of the canal."
The dredging, taking place between Harby, in Nottinghamshire, and Redmile, in Leicestershire, will reduce silt on the canal bed and help slow the flow of water to encourage grasswrack pondweed to grow, the trust said.
Students from Brooksby Melton College have been propagating the plants ready for growing in the spring.
The work is due to be completed by Christmas.

Kevin Small and Declan Cassidy starred for Mary's as they held off a second-half fightback to pull clear again.
St Mary's led 0-8 to 0-6 at half-time and extended their advantage to five points after the resumption.
Colman's cut the margin to three and had a strong 55th-minute penalty claim turned down when three in arrears.
Instead, the referee awarded a 13-metre free after Rian O'Neill looked to have been hauled down in the large square.
After O'Neill got up to point the placed ball to reduce the margin to 0-15 to 0-13, Magherafelt hit back with the final four points to seal a deserved victory after losing two previous finals.
Goalkeeper Odhran Lynch performed heroics for St Mary's as he made three great saves, in addition to delivering a series of accurate kickouts.
St Mary's full-forward Small showed a portent of what was to come as he slotted the opening score after soaring to win possession.
However after lead 0-3 to 0-1, St Mary's were held scoreless for 15 minutes as a Matthew McCreesh point nudged Colman's into a 0-4 to 0-3 lead.
But a superb Conall Devlin point from a tight angle got St Mary's back on track as they hit five out of the remaining seven scores before the break to take a 0-8 to 0-6 lead.
Despite playing against the wind, St Mary's hit three unanswered points on the resumption to move five ahead as Small continued to wreak havoc in the Colman's defence.
Magherafelt still looked in comparative control at 0-14 to 0-9 ahead after 48 minutes points but points from Crossmaglen duo Rian O'Neill and Cian McConville quickly had only a kick of the ball between the teams again.
As Colman's began to rain in wind-assisted high balls into the Mary's defence, the game threatened to turn and the Newry school will feel extremely hard done about the 55th-minute penalty call.
But nonetheless, St Mary's were the better side for most of the game and substitute, Tiernan McAteer and the influential Small were among the late scorers as Magherafelt hit the final four points. | St Mary's Magherafelt clinched their first MacRory Cup title as they beat 19-times winners St Colman's Newry 0-19 to 0-13 in the final at Armagh. | 0.894851 | 1 |
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius greeted them at the airport and said several hundred more Iraqi Christians would be flown to France in the coming weeks.
They fled the swift advance of Islamic State militants, who now control big swathes of Iraq and Syria.
French officials say Iraqi Christians who already have links with France will be considered more favourably.
Mr Fabius said those who arrived on Thursday had faced "threats to their lives".
"Some of the people here have relatives (in France), even if they haven't seen them for 10 or 15 years," he said at the airport.
Later he said the number of Iraqi Christians who could get asylum in France might reach "several thousand".
The plane that picked up the group in Irbil had gone there with a cargo of humanitarian aid.
The IS campaign has displaced an estimated 1.2 million people in Iraq, many of them minority Christians and Yazidis.
Refugees say the hardline Islamists have demanded that Christians and Yazidis convert to Islam, threatening them with death if they refuse.

The group trotted through the streets after escaping from a local ranch, but were soon captured following an unlikely police chase.
Meanwhile a raccoon climbed a crane in Toronto and a lorry full of honeybees overturned in Washington state.
And all this as the internet recovers from the great llama escape of 2015.
Bernard Luyckx, a friend of the zebras' owner, said the animals were apparently upset by the sale of some of their stable-mates.
"Some of the horses got sold and the other zebras got mad and trampled the gates and fled into the streets. Luckily there were no injuries, nobody got hurt, the zebras too."
He said locals got "a free safari" on Friday.
And the dazzle of zebras, to everyone's delight, did at one point appear to cross a zebra crossing.
The raccoon, who was on his own so does not get a collective noun, was photographed by a crane operator more than 200 metres up a skyscraper.
Rob MacFarlane told the Toronto Star the raccoon safely made it back to the ground again.

The Scot, who is grouped with England's Luke Donald and Australian Marc Leishman, was invited to hit the opening tee shot at his home course, and where his father James was club secretary for more than 20 years.
"It is a great honour. I hit my first shot of golf when I was six years old on the children's course, which is now the TV compound, I believe," said Montgomerie.
"This is where I started playing and this is home. There's not many pros here that have the opportunity to play an Open on their own course where they're members of."

Pictures of the incident, in Aberystwyth last August, were published before Saturday's Wales v England match by the Sun newspaper.
They appear to show Mr Davies holding a shoe and chasing a man during the late-night incident.
The player apologised, saying he "reacted wrongly to the situation".
Dyfed-Powys Police said no further action was taken at the time due to insufficient evidence, but "as a result of new video evidence" the force was reviewing the incident.

The group of migrant workers were kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic State (IS) militants in February.
The archbishop will be meeting religious and political leaders leaders on his visit, including the Coptic Christian Pope and the Grand Imam.
He has called for more support for Christians facing persecution.
His comments came as IS released another video, purportedly showing the killing of up to 30 Ethiopian Christians in Libya.
During his visit, the archbishop is also hoping to meet Egypt's president Abdul-Fattah al-Sisi, says BBC religious affairs reporter Alex Strangwayes-Booth.
Mr Sisi has publicly supported the Coptic Christian communities in his country.
In his Easter message, the archbishop highlighted the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and Africa, including the 148 victims of a Kenyan university attack earlier this month.
He said those living in peaceful societies should "stand as witness" to what was happening to Christians elsewhere.

The 5m (16ft) wide, 3m (10ft) deep crater appeared on Saturday night under the northbound carriageway near the Gateshead MetroCentre.
The road, which carries about 90,000 vehicles a day, will be closed between junctions 67 and 68 until Wednesday.
The hole is thought to be related to former mine workings.
Although extra measures are being put in place to minimise disruption, including a contraflow on the southbound carriageway, lifting toll barriers for the Tyne Tunnel, and the suspension of roadworks on other key routes, road users travelling north or southbound are advised to allow extra time for travelling.
The hole is being filled with a specialist concrete mixture before the road is resurfaced.
It was discovered when a slight dip in the road surface became apparent.
Rob Beckitt, duty operations manager at Highways England, asked people to avoid the A1 if possible
He said: "Safety is our top priority. We have to ensure the carriageway is totally safe before drivers use it.
"We and our contractors have been working hard with partners since the hole was discovered and will continue to do so to make the carriageway safe as quickly as possible."
A Northumbria Police spokesman added: "The A1 is a vital artery and we appreciate all the work Highways England is doing to keep traffic flowing as best as possible.
"We also have extra officers on duty, working hard to help manage the congestion and keep disruption to a minimum."

The Dons thought they had triggered a release clause for the 27-year-old midfielder with a £200,000 offer.
"Greg's agent told us about the clause weeks ago and we met that clause," explained McInnes.
"It's unclear why he's not here and we feel he should be. We understand their desire to keep him but we are surprised that clause wasn't met."
The Highlanders are thought to have argued that the wording of the clause in Tansey's contract was ambiguous.
McInnes said that he had discussed the issue with his opposite number at Caley Thistle, John Hughes.
"We acted professionally and with integrity," he said. "John agrees with that, he has no problem with that.
"The only thing we are maybe guilty of is maybe not going in a bit earlier.
"When I found out on Friday that we could make the offer, it was my call not to disrupt their preparations for Saturday and when their game was called off in the morning that's when we put the bid in.
"£200,000 isn't easy for us to put together. I had to try and generate that through bits and pieces.
"We thought the offer would have triggered a clause in the player's contract that would allow him to be here."
McInnes did manage to add to his squad, with the deadline day signing of Wales striker Simon Church, on loan from MK Dons.
"In light of the injuries to Ryan Jack and Willo Flood, we targeted two players - a midfielder and a different option at centre forward.
"We got one, we didn't get the other.
"Simon brings real pedigree and he has a great enthusiasm to be here.
"He's a real team player, he works extremely hard and likes to put himself about. If we get good service into, he'll enjoy his time here.
"There were lots of names being thrown at us but I thought the two players we were after could come in and really help us now.

He was discovered at about 04:50 BST at Emerson Court in Horden, near Peterlee, and taken to the University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton.
The baby, who was less than 12 hours old, was named Jack by hospital staff. He is "fit and well", Durham Police said.
At a press conference, officers confirmed his mother had come forward.
She has been medically examined and will be interviewed.
Police are working with the county council's children's services unit.
The baby was found by a pet dog who was being taken for a walk.
Mary Cartwright, mayor of Peterlee, saw what happened as she was returning from Newcastle Airport.
She said: "I saw the policeman with a bundle in his arms and I could see the baby's head and it was in a blanket.
"He ran across the road and round to the side of the ambulance and the crew took the baby.

He said Tory conference announcements on immigration had been "disturbing, sinister and beneath contempt".
Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said new curbs on foreign workers and students may be needed to "change the tide" of public opinion on immigration.
Mr Jones urged Welsh Labour to "fight for the soul of post-Brexit Britain".
In an email to party members, the first minister condemned the Conservatives, saying: "This isn't just dog-whistle politics, it is politics of the gutter."
He said Welsh Labour members should aim to be a "roadblock" to Tory plans to restrict immigration, and show there was "a better way".
"When senior Tories said yesterday that foreign doctors and their families were only welcome here whilst they were needed, I said they are welcome, full stop," he wrote.
"We must reject the Tories' terrible insult to people who work day in, day out to save and improve lives across Wales."
Mr Jones described Brexit as "a seismic and unsettling event in our country's history, and how we react to it will be the measure of this generation of politicians and political parties".
"I have made absolutely clear my belief that Wales must accept the referendum result, we cannot refight that battle, but we can fight for our vision of the future," he said.
"A bright future for our children and grandchildren, based on our values of fairness, internationalism and prosperity for all."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies described Mr Jones's comments as "ludicrous".
"Ultimately, if there is a poisonous atmosphere surrounding the politics of immigration it's because successive Labour governments over 13 years ruthlessly stifled moderate discussion and left millions of people feeling frustrated and ignored," he said.
Meanwhile SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon and Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood have joined forces with Green Party leaders across the UK to condemn "the most toxic rhetoric on immigration seen from any government in living memory". | Foreign doctors in Wales will not be told to "go home", Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones has said, accusing the Conservatives of "gutter" politics. | 1.181934 | 1 |

The festival, which has been given Big Lottery funding, is being organised by Iolanda Viegas who moved to Wrexham from Portugal 15 years ago.
"The main aim is integration," Ms Viegas, a representative of the Portuguese Council of Great Britain, said.
"We try for the Portuguese community to engage in the local community.
"It's by going to these events that we realise we are all the same.
"It's just one big community," said Ms Viegas who is also a representative on the Race Council Cymru and is director of the Portuguese Speaking Community Group in Wrexham.
Wrexham council has been working to develop close relationships across its diverse communities since 2008 when it launched its Together in Wrexham strategy.
Earlier this month, it signed a friendship agreement with the Portuguese government, reinforcing principles of "integration and collaboration", according to Councillor Hugh Jones, Wrexham's lead member for communities.
"We readily agreed and we saw that as recognition that out community cohesion team has a really successful link with the Portuguese community.
"We'd more than welcome similar protocols, if the Polish community came forward, we'd look at that in a favourable way."
In spite of the work being done by community leaders, the local authority and the police, there were some hate crime incidents in Wrexham in the aftermath of the EU referendum result.
Mr Jones said he felt confident such issues had now died down. | A folk music festival aimed at promoting community cohesion among people from different nationalities is being held in Wrexham on Saturday. | 1.479218 | 1 |
Professional hunter Lee Lightsey said the 15 ft (4.5m) beast was one of the biggest he had come across in 18 years and required a tractor to move it.
Mr Lightsey and hunting guide Blake Godwin discovered the alligator in cattle ponds while supervising a guided hunt on Saturday.
When the creature surfaced about 20ft (6m) away from them, they shot it.
"Although this animal is huge I was not that surprised it existed," Mr Lightsey said. "We have come across lots over the last 20 years that have been only a little smaller.
"But what really drew our attention to this animal was the fact that it seems to have been feasting on the cattle on my farm, because mutilated body parts were found in the water. It was a monster which needed to be removed."
Mr Lightsey's company arranges hunts for alligators, wild boar and turkey on the farm he owns for hunting trips. The largest alligator previously killed was just over 13ft (4m) long.
He charges $10,000 (£7,060; €8,780) to kill an alligator larger than 13ft (4m) and $4,500 (£3,180; €3,955) to kill an alligator between 10ft and 12ft. The animals are mostly killed with a high-powered rifle.
"But always we kill them with the minimum of suffering without allowing them to be injured before they die," he said.
There are hundreds of alligators for hunters between 10ft and 13ft, he says, while animals longer than 13ft are only encountered about once a year.
Mr Lightsey has been commercially hunting alligators since he began "harvesting" them in 1988 and more than 5,000 alligators bigger than 1.5m have been killed since then.
American alligators inhabit the south-east of the US with Florida and Louisiana each reported to have a population of more than one million alligators each.
Southern Florida is reputed to be one of the only places in the world where both alligators and crocodiles live alongside each other in freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes and swamps.
Mr Lightsey says he plans to get the alligator stuffed while the meat will be donated to charity. | A hunter in the US has told the BBC how he shot an 800lb (360kg) alligator that was feasting on his farm's cattle. | 1.892391 | 2 |

Councillors backed plans for the £43m development after a controversial proposal for a casino was shelved.
About 200 jobs are set to be created as part of the project at Bournemouth Pavilion Gardens, in Westover Road.
The new building will also feature rooftop gardens with sea views, subject to planning permission.
The pavilion currently houses a dance centre, ballroom and theatre and culture chiefs are also looking at proposals to create a drama centre for the Arts University College within another vacant part of the building.
Councillor Ian Lancashire, from Bournemouth Borough Council, said he hoped the development would "kick-start" further investment.
"We welcome the decision not to include a casino within this project - the new plans fit much more closely with our aspirations of providing family-friendly attractions and will generate higher footfall in this part of town.
"Making better use of town centre land will be a major driver in improving our economy and profits from this landmark scheme will move forward restoration of our historic pavilion."
It is expected that the two Odeon cinemas already operating close to the site will relocate into the building, opening up further redevelopment in the town.
Developer Trevor Osborne said: "The cinemas in Westover Road are keen to relocate to our new development and we hope to continue our commitment to the town by regenerating the buildings they leave behind."

Vidar, a four-year-old Belgian Malinois, sniffed out a haul of enemy weapons while army medic Angie McDonnell was posted there.
But Vidar faced being put down after being diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
So Ms McDonnell, a reservist, made it her mission to adopt Vidar and bring him back to her home in south Wales.
And the dog is now living a happy retirement at her home in Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan.
During their time in Afghanistan, Vidar was on routine patrol near Camp Bastion when he located a haul of guns and grenades.
He alerted his handler and explosives experts were able to disable the weapons which were thought to have been hidden by the enemy to be used against British troops.
But on her return to the UK, Ms McDonnell heard that Vidar, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan, was facing retirement.
He had become too nervous to carry out the job he had been trained to do and his vision was failing. He was under threat of being put down.
Ms McDonnell, who works as a paramedic, began a search to find Vidar to help save his life.
"He saved my life so it's only fair that I did what I could to save his," she explained.
"When I heard he had been retired after starting to get scared, I knew I had to track him down to help him.
"I would have done anything to make sure he had a loving home."
Ms McDonnell added: "The dogs out there are heroes and I knew from the first moment I saw him that he was a one-in-a-million. He looked like he needed a cuddle so I went into his kennel and rubbed his belly.
"We became best friends out there and I was sad to leave him when I returned home.

The NRL said the ban relates to Norman's conviction for drug possession and a police warning for consorting with known criminals at a casino.
The Parramatta Eels stand-off was also reprimanded for filming incidents involving apparent drug use and sexual activity and distributing video of those incidents to other NRL players. He was also fined $20,000 (£11,300).
Last week, Norman was stood down by the Eels for one game after he pleaded guilty to drug possession at the Star Casino in Sydney in May.
But the 25-year-old will now miss the rest of the season.
NRL head of integrity Nick Weeks said: "The message is clear... players cannot put themselves in a position where they may damage their own reputations and that of the game.
"Whether it is drug possession, criminal associations or social media use, players understand the consequences that can flow from illegal or other unacceptable conduct."

The Financial Assistance for Political Parties scheme distributes funding to parties to help assembly members perform their duties.
It includes payments to help run whips' offices and employ party staff.
MLAs have approved the assembly commission's proposals to reduce the payments by 3%.
It forms part of an overall cut in the assembly's budget of 5% this financial year.
Under the new arrangements, parties will be able to claim about £25,600 if they have one MLA.
Parties with two or more MLAs will be able to claim about £51,100, plus about £3,300 for each MLA who is not a minister or junior minister.
Parties with between three and 10 MLAs will be able to claim about £16,000 for their whips' office.

The Turkish foreign minister said it had summoned the US ambassador, John Bass, and asked for an investigation.
During the key visit, a brawl erupted between protesters and Turkish security personnel, injuring 11 people.
Police called it a "brutal attack" on protesters, but Turkey blamed the violence on pro-Kurdish demonstrators.
Meanwhile, US State Department spokesman Heather Nauert said "the conduct of Turkish security personnel... was deeply disturbing".
"The State Department has raised its concerns about those events at the highest levels," she added.
The incident happened on Tuesday outside the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington, hours after Mr Erdogan met US President Donald Trump.
Video footage of the clash showed men in suits charging past police to kick and punch protesters.
"A written and verbal protest was delivered due to the aggressive and unprofessional actions taken, contrary to diplomatic rules and practices, by US security personnel," the Turkish foreign minister said in a statement.
The "lapses of security", it added, "were caused by the inability of US authorities to take sufficient precautions at every stage of the official programme".
US officials have already summoned the Turkish ambassador over the violence, which was described by Washington police as a "brutal attack on peaceful protesters".
But the Turkish embassy said the demonstrators were linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and had aggressively provoked Turkish-Americans gathering to greet the president. They in turn had acted in self-defence.
The incident drew an outcry among US lawmakers, and Senator John McCain called for the Turkish envoy to be expelled. | Turkey has blamed US officials for "aggressive and unprofessional actions" and "security lapses" during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit last week. | 1.395949 | 1 |
The Police Ombudsman's Office found that she had not worked hard enough to identify the man.
She had been told by bar staff that the man had been drinking and that he had recently been released from prison. But she did not ask who he was.
The collision happened in County Antrim in June 2014.
The suspect drove into the back of a woman's car. She said that he had appeared drunk, and when she told him she was calling the police, he jumped back into his car and drove off through a red light.
The woman and her brother went to a nearby bar and looked at CCTV footage.
She was able to identify the man and said the barman told them his name, that he was just out of prison and that he had been drinking.
The woman said she passed the information to the police officer, but complained that the officer did not seize the CCTV footage and did not respond to her phone calls.
The officer said she had not received messages as her police phone had been left in for repair. This was later confirmed to be true.
She said she had gone to the bar to get the CCTV film, but was told that an engineer would have to download it.
She left her contact details, but later discovered that by the time the engineer called, the footage had been recorded over.
The officer said she had circulated a possible car registration number to police patrols, but had found no useful information.
It emerged that the woman driver had not recorded the correct registration number.
The officer accepted that she should have asked the barman for the name of the person in the CCTV footage, but said she believed that she would not have been able to progress the case without that footage.
The Police Ombudsman's investigator said that by not asking for a name for the suspect, she had failed to progress an important line of inquiry.

Ardress House near Portadown in County Armagh was built in the 1700s and developed over the years into one of the finest examples of a gentleman's farmhouse on the island of Ireland.
But in the 1960s a cement render was put on the building that stopped it breathing and it started to sweat.
Trapped moisture over the decades since had begun to cause damage inside.
It was left susceptible to damp, cracking and flaking paint.
Now, in order to preserve the building, the trust has removed the cement plaster and is replacing it with a more traditional finish.
The lime-based render, which is less dense, will allow the building to breathe and in time should sort out the damp.
"What happened in the mid-1900s was there was a departure from traditional building methods," said Edward Mason of the National Trust.
"What we've discovered over the last 20 to 30 years is damp that is starting to grow in parts of the structure of the house."
A team of specialist plasterers is working on the job that is expected to take about a year to complete.
Ivor Condy, who is in charge of the operation, says lime render is "challenging" to work with.
It dries quickly and needs a lot of preparation to prevent cracking. In the worst case scenario it can just fall off the wall.
"You have to live with it when you start the job, you can't go away and leave it," he added.
"Generally when you speak to normal plasterers about lime render, they'll run a mile. They're just not used to it.
"It's like everything involved in conservation work, it takes a lot of patience."
About 8,000 people a year visit Ardress House.
When the work is finished it won't look a lot different, but the building will feel a whole lot better. | An 18th Century farmhouse owned by the National Trust is getting a £120,000 facelift to stop it sweating. | 2.591092 | 3 |

Human rights violations carried out by armed groups battling for control of the country could amount to war crimes, the report says.
Victims include detainees, journalists and human rights activists. Scores of people have been tortured and killed.
Libya, fragmented since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, now has rival militia-backed parliaments.
There are hundreds of different armed groups and the chaos has allowed so-called Islamic State to gain a foothold.
The report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Libya describes a country descending into violent chaos.
Other tactics documented in the report include indiscriminate attacks on civilians, rape and other sexual violence.
This is all happening in a climate of "complete impunity", the report says, made worse because Libya's justice system has collapsed.
The crimes are committed by "a multitude of actors - both state and non-state".
The UN says the report is the most comprehensive to be carried out in Libya in recent years.
Interviews were carried with hundreds of people inside the country and with Libyans forced to flee to Italy, Tunisia and Egypt.
The report lists in detail:
The report says that evidence of sexual violence is difficult to document because of fear of retaliation, stigma, family pressure or trauma.
It says that the plight of children, migrants, human rights defenders and journalists has been made worse by "the systemic failures of the justice system".
The UN says the international criminal court should be able to carry out investigations and prosecutions, and protection programmes should be set up for victims and witnesses.
It also calls on the UN Security Council to consider economic sanctions against Libyans found responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity. | Killings and torture are being committed with impunity by all sides in Libya, according to a UN report. | 2.380408 | 2 |
In a match of high drama and immense quality between the two Englishmen, three-time champion Adams prevailed 6-5 to knock out seventh seed Durrant.
Adams, 58, also missed a shot at double 12 for a nine-dart finish.
A 6-0 win over Canadian qualifier Jeff Smith sent Mitchell, 44, through to his first world final.
While their encounter was a one-sided affair, the match between Middlesbrough's Durrant and Lincolnshire-based Adams was one that will live long in the memories of a captivated sell-out crowd at Lakeside.
In the first leg of the seventh set, with the match finely poised at 3-3, number three seed Adams came within millimetres of the second nine-darter in BDO World Championship history.

His effort at double 12 landed just inside the wire and, to add to Adams' disappointment, Durrant won the leg to go in front for the first time.
It would have been the first perfect leg since Paul Lim achieved the feat in 1990.
The exceptional standard continued all the way to a nervy 11th set.
Durrant missed three darts to win the match, while Adams failed with an attempt at double nine, before the latter eventually came through by five legs to three in the decider.
Adams - the champion in 2007, 2010 and 2011 - will now appear in his fifth World Championship final.
"It's all a bit of a blur apart from the nine-darter I missed," he told BT Sport. "The title means everything to me. I've had a couple of bad years, but 'Wolfie' is back."
In contrast, fourth seed Mitchell's progression was rarely in doubt after he won a tight opening set against Smith.

Karen Buckley, 24, had been at Sanctuary nightclub on Dumbarton Road from about 23.45 on Saturday night.
At 01:00 she told friends she was going to the toilet but did not return or take her jacket.
She was then seen on CCTV talking to a man outside the club, before leaving and walking towards Church Street.
Police say the direction she was heading in was westwards along Dumbarton Road, away from the city centre.
Police are particularly keen to speak to the man seen in conversation with the 24-year-old, who they believe may be able to help with their inquiries.
He is described as being of a stocky build with dark hair and was wearing a white shirt and dark trousers.
Friends of the Glasgow Caledonian University student raised the alarm yesterday, saying it was "very out of character" for her not to return home.
Her parents have flown over from Cork in Ireland as they also believe her behaviour is unusual.
Inspector Gavin Smith said: "Karen had been drinking alcohol with her friends but they say she was not drunk and they are very worried about her.
"Her friends say she would always contact them by text or phone to let them know where she was and she doesn't appear to have contacted anyone.

The fee is in the region of £25-30m with the deal believed to be until 2019, with the option of another year.
Subject to the 21-year-old passing his medical next week, he will join United once the transfer window opens in June.
Depay, who has scored 21 goals as PSV won this season's Dutch title, tweeted: "Time to set my goals again on winning trophies with Manchester United."
He added: "I always say; dream, believe, achieve. I was dreaming and believing of becoming the champions of the Eredivisie with PSV and we achieved it.
"I'm extremely grateful towards PSV and all the fans for believing in me."
Depay, who played under United manager Louis van Gaal during his time as Netherlands boss, had attracted interest from a number of clubs across Europe, with Paris St-Germain and Liverpool reportedly keen to sign him.
Tottenham reportedly had a bid for the player turned down last year.
He has spent his entire career to date with PSV, for whom he has scored 42 goals in 104 appearances.
"We are very proud of this upcoming transfer, which came in a huge momentum," PSV's sporting director Marcel Brands told the Dutch club's official website.

Australians and New Zealanders in the UK traditionally observe the occasion, which takes place on 25 April each year, by holding services in Westminster and Hyde Park in central London.
Met Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said: "Following counter-terrorism arrests in Australia this weekend and allegations of attack planning against Anzac Day commemorations and police officers in Australia, we are reviewing security plans at related events in the UK.
"We already have protective security plans in place for major Anzac events in the UK but as a sensible precaution all forces have been asked to review security arrangements at related events to ensure they are safe and secure for the public and officers.
"While there is no information to suggest a specific threat to related events in the UK - and the current UK threat level remains unchanged - the public should remain vigilant."
The current UK threat level for international terrorism, set by the government, is "severe" - meaning an attack is "highly likely".

Gerald Sunnie received cheques worth tens of thousands of pounds from three pensioners.
He then forwarded the money to "individuals across Europe" while keeping a share of the cash.
He was convicted of a £33,000 money laundering charge under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard that Sunnie initially became involved after being "deluded" into thinking that he had won a £200,000 American lottery prize that had not turned up.
Sunnie started taking in cheques that he was told were to cover "European tax liabilities" on his winnings, passing the money on after taking his portion of it.
The 58-year-old's bank accounts were closed down due to "fraudulent activity" and he was twice told by Trading Standards officers that he was helping to facilitate an international fraud.
But he started up his activity again in August 2013, taking in dozens of cheques from three elderly victims over the course of the next year.
He told his trial that a man from the fraudsters he was passing the money to had called him two weeks earlier saying his £200,000 winnings were still on the way, and that he still expected a cheque to come through his door.
Sunnie's lawyer Gary McIlravey admitted that his client was "deluded".
Depute fiscal Muhammad Sadiq, prosecuting, said: "It's clear he may have been a victim at first, but he did then benefit by processing payments on numerous occasions after being told it was a scam."
Sheriff Simon Collins QC convicted Sunnie of money laundering, saying a large number of vulnerable people had been defrauded out of a large sum of money.
The sheriff added: "By any standard the arrangement he entered, even from the outset, was obviously a scam.
"He was told it was a scam and that he was taking part in a fraud and his bank accounts were closed.
"He processed nearly £52,000 but claimed not to have made even inquiries of those involved in these arrangements. This stretches credulity."
He said Sunnie's role had been "key" to the scam, that his motivation was "clearly personal gain" and that he had shown "little or no remorse". | A "deluded" money launderer who helped run a lottery scam that targeted elderly victims has been jailed for six months. | 1.18468 | 1 |
Some 25 pensioners had to be rescued from Peebles Nursing Home as the River Tweed overflowed into the streets.
They had to be re-housed about 18 miles away at the Waverley Care Home in Galashiels.
It has been confirmed that is where they will stay for six months while structural and interior overhauls take place on the building in Tweed Green.
The entire ground floor was damaged when water poured into the care home on the afternoon of 30 December.
Mountain Rescue volunteers along with fire and rescue teams took part in the rescue operation to get the residents to safety.
Nine of the 24 bedrooms are on the bottom floor as well as two lounges, a dining room, a kitchen and a laundry room.
Peebles Nursing Home manager Jane Rogers said she had experienced nothing like it in her 10 years in charge.
She said: "The water rose very quickly and there was a sudden surge of water which breached walls and our usually effective defences in a matter of minutes."
The residents were having lunch when the flood waters hit.
"By about 2.20pm a lot of water had come in but luckily by that time we had moved everyone upstairs," said Ms Rogers.
"All of the rooms on the ground floor are completely condemned.
"But before any of the restoration work even begins the building has to be completely emptied and then we have to leave it to dry out substantially which is going to take a while.
"So the residents won't be back in for approximately another six months."
Ms Rogers said the residents were happy and nobody had been upset by the move.
She added: "Our residents are still seeing the same staff which is comforting for them.
"And the families can be reassured that the level of care their relatives are receiving has not been affected."
Meanwhile, Borders Sport and Leisure Trust is unable to say when Peebles Swimming Pool will re-open - 10 days after the flooding.
Both boilers were seriously damaged and due to the heating being off there has been movement in the wooden ceiling above the pool. | Residents evacuated from a flooded Borders nursing home have been told it will be six months before they return. | 1.396711 | 1 |
Benjamin Smith, 33, will run the 26.2 mile distance every day for just over 13 months to raise funds for anti-bullying and equality causes in the UK.
Mr Smith, from Bristol was "badly bullied for years at school" but after coming out as gay two years ago, has "never been happier".
He hopes to raise £250,000 for Stonewall and Kidscape.
The account manager, said the two charities are "close to my heart".
'Get people involved'
After becoming "hooked" on marathon running Mr Smith said he got his confidence and self-esteem back.
The preparation for this challenge began two years ago and he tested his limits by running 18 marathons in 2014.
"I looked at running a marathon every single day for a year - so 365 marathons," he said.
"But I liked the idea of rounding it up and adding the last one as a victory lap."
The challenge will see him take in 309 locations throughout the UK with the vast majority being organised by UK running clubs.
Nine will be official marathons, of which Bournemouth will be the only event he runs twice.
"My other half is doing his PhD at Bournemouth University so we have an affiliation with it," he said.
He will be encouraging people to join him for anything from one mile to the full distance.

The man suffered serious leg injuries after being struck by a Skoda Octavia, behind shops in Kyle Square, Croftfoot, at about 15:45 on 13 November 2015.
The car was later found burnt-out in nearby Croftmont Avenue.
Police have asked anyone who recognises any of the three men in the CCTV images to get in touch.
Det Insp David Scott said: "This was a targeted attack which left the victim with life-changing injuries and it is critical that we find whoever is responsible.
"A dedicated team of officers have been working on this inquiry over the last six months, however, we still need assistance from members of the public.
"If you recognise any of the men in the images I would ask you to get in touch with officers because we need to speak to them as part of our inquiries."
Police said in the aftermath of the incident that the man had been "deliberately struck" by the car.

He scored 17 goals in 43 league games for Woking in 2016-17 but was a free agent after leaving the National League side at the end of the season.
Ugwu, 24, told the club website: "There was interest from other clubs as well but Chesterfield stood out."
Manager Gary Caldwell added: "I have been very impressed with his physical attributes and ability to score goals."
Ugwu, who came through the youth ranks at Reading, has also played for Yeovil, Plymouth, Shrewsbury, Dunfermline and Wycombe.
Caldwell, who will lead the relegated side in League Two next season, added: "It's a big challenge for him now, but he's played in the Football League before so he understands what it takes to succeed. He is someone I can see making a real impact."

A senior member of opposition party the Movement for the Liberation of Congo has been named a vice prime minister.
Several other former opponents have also been given posts.
The unity government comes amid speculation that Mr Kabila, in power since 2001, may try to change the constitution to run for a third term.
Analysts say the inclusion of opposition members and former opponents in his latest administration may be an attempt to broaden his support and divide an already weakened opposition.
They say this may be in preparation for constitutional changes or a delay to elections due in 2016.
Evariste Boshab, leader of the governing People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy and an outspoken advocate of constitutional change, has also been named a vice prime minister.
The new government is made up of 47 ministers and vice ministers, replacing the previous 36-strong administration.
Prime Minister Augustin Matata Ponyo, who has headed the outgoing government since April 2012, retains his post.
Mr Kabila promised to form a unity government last year after a national dialogue with opposition and civil society groups.
Donors and investors say the delay has fostered uncertainty and stalled reform in the vast country which is rich in minerals, Reuters news agency reports.
Last month, 15 men accused of plotting to assassinate Mr Kabila were acquitted by a South African court.
Prosecutors dropped the case because of a lack of evidence against the men, all Congolese nationals.
Five more suspects are still facing trial.
They include the plot's alleged ringleader, Etienne Kabila, who says he is the son of former President Laurent Kabila, who was killed in 2001, and that Joseph Kabila is not the former leader's real son.
Meanwhile insecurity continues in the east of the country where more than 30 people were killed in attacks on Saturday.
The raids took place in villages near the town of Beni, where more than 250 people have died since October.
A journalist in the region told the BBC the dead included women and children who had been dragged from their houses and killed with machetes.
She said it was not clear who carried out the attacks.

City of Lincoln Council put up notices for the South Common after five unregistered horses were found grazing.
The authority is asking owners to either remove their animals, or get them registered.
It said all horses needed to undergo a series of checks to ensure their welfare.

Any resident in Lincoln is allowed to keep horses on common land in the city, but must comply with the regulations, the authority said.
These include having their animals micro-chipped and linked to a horse passport.
Horses must also be examined by a vet to make sure they are free of disease, and cannot be used for commercial purposes.
There are also strict rules on breeding and giving birth.
It was not known if any of the horses involved had been abandoned, a council spokesperson said.

The singer, actress and former X Factor judge has been cast as Penny, the dance partner of lead character Jonny Castle, the Hollywood Reporter said.
Dancer and actor Colt Prattes is to play Jonny, with Oscar-nominee Abigail Breslin playing opposite him as Baby Houseman in the show by US network ABC.
Scherzinger tweeted she was "so excited" to join the cast.
The three-hour remake, which will be directed by The Sapphires director Wayne Blair, has yet to get a transmission date.
Set in the summer of 1963, Dirty Dancing is the song-and-dance love story about 17-year-old Baby, originally played by Jennifer Grey, who falls for her working-class dance instructor, Johnny Castle - played by Patrick Swayze.
The role of Penny was played by Cynthia Rhodes in the 1987 film.

The bank was held in contempt of court in Manhattan last week for refusing to turn over the records.
The state-owned lender is appealing the civil contempt order and fine of $50,000 a day starting on 8 December.
It said it would be violating China's privacy law if it gave the information.
The records stem from a 2010 lawsuit by a group of luxury retailers including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent that sued a group of Chinese companies for allegedly selling counterfeits goods like handbags.
The luxury brands had asked US district judge Richard Sullivan to order the Bank of China (BOC) to pay $12m (£8m) to cover their losses from counterfeiting or impose a fine.
The judge had initially ordered the bank to provide the customer information in 2011 and then renewed the order in September.
"BOC's refusal to comply with US law, while it continues to receive the benefits attendant to its banking activity in the US, has inflicted a significant harm on plaintiffs and the general public," Mr Sullivan said.
"Only a large fine will have a coercive effect on BOC at this stage."
The judge has also ordered the top-four Chinese lender to cover the retailers' legal costs.
But the bank said the judge lacked the jurisdiction to force its compliance.

Aiden Webb, 22, from Norwich, was climbing Fansipan mountain alone on Friday when he fell, injuring himself.
Girlfriend Bluebell Baughan last heard from him on Saturday morning.
Rescuers think he may have wandered into a valley with a large waterfall and fallen in.
Mr Webb, an experienced climber, began his ascent of the 3,100m (10,300ft) high mountain in the northwest of Vietnam at about 06:00 on Friday.
More on the search and other news from Norfolk
Miss Baughan, 24, from White Notley, near Braintree, remained in contact with him by phone from the nearby town of Sa Pa.
During the trek Mr Webb fell into a ravine, injured his arm and leg, and lost his way. She last heard from him in the early hours of Saturday, when he agreed she should call in a rescue team.
Mr Webb's phone went dead at about 06:20 local time.
Rescue teams spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday on the mountain looking for him. About 60 people including military police, rangers and local people were involved in Monday's search.
Mr Webb's father Trever Webb, and uncle Michael Webb left the UK on Sunday and arrived in Sa Pa early on Tuesday where they met with the authorities and rescue teams, Miss Baughan said.
"They [the authorities] now fear the reason they haven't found Aiden is because he may have made his way to a valley that has a large waterfall in and has perhaps fallen," she said.
"They are trying to contact capable team members from another town that have the skills and equipment to search down the waterfall."
The family was "pretty distraught, but doing our best to brainstorm and push for as much help as possible" Miss Baughan added.

OLAF, the European anti-fraud body, is looking into the claims, although North Wales Police has said it is no longer investigating the matter.
It relates to alleged use of European parliamentary funds for party political purposes, such as election campaigning.
Mr Gill said he was "well aware of who are behind this latest poisonous and deeply malicious attack".
In a statement on Friday, he said: "Having spoken to the police, I am in no doubt whatsoever that these claims - which are entirely bogus - have been made against me as part of an ongoing strategy to harry me out of position and to damage my reputation."
Mr Gill announced on Wednesday he would sit as an independent member of the Welsh Assembly, following an acrimonious row with other UKIP members over whether he should he remain both an MEP and AM.
He said OLAF was obliged to investigate any allegations made to it.
"Such cases are commonplace but sadly can drag on for a long time," Mr Gill said.
"I will co-operate fully with that investigation to ensure it is brought to a close as soon as possible."
An OLAF spokeswoman said: "OLAF can confirm that it is looking into allegations it has received in relation to Member of the European Parliament Nathan Gill.
"Please note that the fact that OLAF assesses the information received does not mean that any individual in question is guilty of wrongdoing.
"OLAF fully respects the presumption of innocence."
North Wales Police said on Friday that "correspondence from [UK national fraud reporting centre] Action Fraud received on 11th August concerning allegations of fraud against an Anglesey man are being reviewed by OLAF, the European Antifraud Office of the European Union".
"As such North Wales Police will not be investigating the matter further," the force added.

Gabbiadini scored twice to bring Saints level at 2-2, but had what would have been the opener incorrectly ruled out.
"Gabbiadini's first was a good goal, it should have stood. He scored three good goals," Puel said.
"It's a lot of disappointment. We deserved better," the Frenchman added.
"I would like the video for the future for this situation, but at the moment we are without. Sometimes there is a bad decision against us, it is important to accept this.
"The memories are always for the winner. It's football and congratulations for Manchester. I'm proud of my players because we played very well."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic collected the 32nd trophy of his career after heading an 87th-minute winner at Wembley on Sunday, having earlier given United the lead with a brilliant 19th-minute free-kick.
Jesse Lingard put United 2-0 in front before Gabbiadini struck twice - his fourth and fifth goals in three games since joining from Napoli for £14m.

Economy Minister Simon Hamilton has produced amending legislation which would reduce tariffs paid to about 1,800 people who got into the scheme before November 2015.
The legislation has not been yet been approved by the Department of Finance.
It is understood that departmental officials will continue to assess the plan over the weekend.
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 Hamilton's plan requires an assembly vote to change the tariffs from the new financial year starting in April.
It also proposes a public consultation on a longer-term solution.
But there remains an acceptance within the Department for the Economy that any moves on tariffs could face a legal challenge.
Earlier this week, Mr Hamilton formally submitted the plan to the Department of Finance for approval.
At that time the Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said he had tasked "my top economists, legal advisors and accountants to conduct a thorough and professional assessment of the proposals before reporting back to me with their recommendations".
"I have told them that they should apply themselves expeditiously to the task at hand. The operation of RHI has been botched, the solution must not be botched."

The 4.9-magnitude quake hit the Cusco region in the early hours of Sunday.
Worst affected was the remote Andean village of Misca, where 45 homes collapsed killing four children and four adults, emergency workers said.
The authorities have declared a state of emergency and President Ollanta Humala has said his government will help rebuild the village.
President Humala said the village, 90% of which was damaged, had been erected on a geological fault line and should be reconstructed elsewhere following a thorough study of the area.
Many of the homes in the village were made of adobe, a mixture of mud and straw.
Among the buildings that collapsed was an 18th-Century church.
President Humala said emergency workers had managed to clear the road leading to the village and a plane had been able to land in the area to drop off tents and blankets.
A nearby copper mine was not affected, a spokesperson for the company running it said.
Earthquakes are common in Peru, with the Nazca and South American tectonic plates located near its coast.

According to the United States Geological Survey, the epicentre of Sunday's quake was 19km (12 miles) southwest of the town of Urcos at a depth of 42km. | At least eight people have died in an earthquake in southern Peru, officials announced on Sunday. | 2.605977 | 3 |
Forest Enterprise Scotland (FES) said the picea omorika trees had no commercial value, but were a "priceless component" of a conservation project.
Genetic material from the trees was being used in an international programme to conserve conifers.
The thieves took the trees from Kinnoull Woodland Park last week. Police Scotland are investigating.
FES said the trees were part of Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust's work with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to help conserve conifer species at risk of extinction in their native habitat.
The trust's Tom Christian said: "The climate and landscape of Perthshire are ideal for growing conifers and the area provides a very important safe haven for rare and endangered species from around the world.
"Each Conifer Conservation Programme tree is grown from seed that has been specially collected from its native habitat.
"Each tree represents years of work organising expeditions, processing the collected seeds, growing them on and then planting them in Perthshire."
Mr Christian said the trees were "irreplaceable" as there was no way to recover the missing genetic material.
Robin Lofthouse, the FES forester who looks after Kinnoull Hill, said: "At a time when biodiversity around the world is increasingly under pressure, projects such as this play an invaluable part in conserving genetic material.
"This pointless theft is extremely frustrating not just because of the loss but because the trees are likely to have been killed. The thief had tried to dig them up but left most of the roots in the ground."
Mr Lofthouse said the FES were now considering the installation of wildlife cameras to protect other trees in the woods.
Anyone with information about the theft is urged to contact Police Scotland or a local FES office. | Thieves have stolen five "extremely rare" Serbian trees from woodland near Perth. | 2.50309 | 3 |
