Sam Ward also found the net but two goals from Matias Paredes and Gonzalo Peillat's penalty corner sealed victory for the visitors at Bisham Abbey.
"We fell right into their trap as we were sloppy at times in possession which allowed them to counter-attack," said GB head coach Bobby Crutchley.
"That's what they're looking for and that's why it's frustrating."
The series is helping Britain prepare for the World League Final, which starts on 27 November in India.

The men, aged 23 and 27, were on a bridge between Durham Street and Cullingtree Road in the Westlink area of the city when they were attacked by an armed man at about 07:00 GMT.

Harrop plans to appeal against a High Court winding-up order, issued on Monday, to push ahead with a deal with All Eight Sports Management.
"If this is enforced and A8 pull out, creditors stand no chance of getting their money," he told BBC Radio Derby.
However, Ilkeston FC Supporters Group has indicated it will try to set up a new club.
An hour before the hearing at the High Court in Liverpool began, Harrop announced an "agreement in principle" had been reached with All Eight Sports Management.
However, his plea for more time to settle a £14,438 debt owed to an office equipment hire firm was rejected by the court.
"Should this [the takeover] go through, all the creditors will get sorted out," Harrop said after the ruling.
"I tried to make the judge see that but the barrister from the other side argued that if a judgement wasn't made, it wouldn't get sorted out.
"I think it's a case of the proposed new owners of the club making some representation to the other side's lawyers."
Harrop, who bought the Robins in March 2015, believes the current club can avoid a similar fate to predecessors Ilkeston Town, who were liquidated in 2010.
"The new owners have realised the creditors out there need to be satisfied and that actually is the cost of the club to them," he added.
"They clearly stated that as soon as they take over they will meet the existing creditors and come to an arrangement with them."
Duncan Payne, chairman of the Ilkeston FC Supporters Group, told BBC Radio Derby they would discuss taking over the lease of the New Manor Ground.
He said: "We believe passionately that, given what has happened twice in the past seven years, the football club is best left in the hands of people who really care about Ilkeston, the community and its football.
"Any town of this size, with the supporter base that we've got and the facilities the New Manor Ground has, is going to attract a lot of interest.
"The future is, in my opinion, going to be bright." | Ilkeston chairman Nigel Harrop insists a pending takeover could yet save the Northern League club from liquidation. | 0.649153 | 1 |
Schools will follow a series of measures introduced by the country's ministry of education.
Two different versions - one for schools within the Ile-de-France region around Paris and another for those outside - have been implemented.
They include introducing special "smoking areas" within school grounds.
The ministry says it has placed "special attention" on areas immediately outside establishments, to avoid crowds "detrimental to school safety".
It added that special outdoor spaces will be arranged within secondary schools to prevent students leaving the premises - especially for smoking.
Other measures include bag checks and a ban on parking outside schools.
In Ile-de-France, school trips within the region will be banned until 29 November. Trips outside the region - including those abroad - must be reported to authorities, which may choose to forbid them.
Schools must also carry out two safety drills by the Christmas holidays - a fire drill and shelter evacuation.
Suzanne, a 17-year-old student from Paris, said: "I don't have to be left terrorised because I don't want to play the terrorists' game. But I am not relaxed. Not in school, not outside. The measures are useful but symbolic." | France has stepped up security in schools as the country continues to enforce its anti-terrorism system, Vigipirate. | 1.542806 | 2 |
King, 21, had a medical in Glasgow on Thursday and Hearts are keen for the player to get first-team games as he continues his recovery from injury.
The winger has made over 90 appearances, including 20 this season, for the Tynecastle side since 2013.
He helped Hearts win the Championship last season - the division Rangers currently lead - and the Edinburgh outfit sit third in the Premiership.
The Ibrox side host Falkirk on Saturday, when Scotland Under-21 cap King could make his Rangers debut.
Rangers have had bids rejected for St Johnstone forward Michael O'Halloran during the January transfer window.
And Hearts have so far been unsuccessful in their attempts to sign Dundee United central defender and midfielder John Souttar.

The 24-year-old German left-back previously tasted life in the English Premier League and the Bundesliga but has joined Accies until January.
"A lot of people who play at that level and come down the way have trouble adjusting and still see themselves as a big player," Canning told BBC Scotland.
"But Lennard's a good boy and his attitude is a different class."
Sowah, whose parents are from Ghana, made his full Portsmouth debut in 2010 and in doing so became the first player born after the launch of English Premier League in 1992 to start a match in it.
Since leaving Portsmouth the former Arsenal youth player has spent most of his time in Hamburg's first and second teams.
"He is a talented player and you don't play at the level he's played at if you don't have talent," said Canning.
"The most important thing for me with guys like Lennard that are coming from those types of clubs is that their attitude is right. That they don't see themselves as a big player, they see themselves as where they are now and work hard to get back to that level.
"He gets forward well and reads the game very well. He's very quick; a good athlete and strong with good use of the ball."
Hamilton, in ninth place, visit bottom side Partick Thistle - who are two points behind them - on Saturday, with both sides looking for their second league victory of the season.
Accies beat Ross County 1-0 on 27 August and Thistle got the better of Inverness on the opening day of the season.
"Every game is a hard game," added Canning. "There is so little between six, seven or maybe eight teams with such fine margins.
"We know that if we approach it properly and perform the way we can, we know we can get the three points and it's something we've got to start doing.
"I read a statistic the other day that we've lost 14 points from a winning position this season, which is a lot of points. Games like Kilmarnock here, Dundee away and Inverness here we were 1-0 up with good opportunities to score a second and have not taken it.
"There's not a whole lot wrong with what we're doing on the pitch, but maybe just being a little bit more ruthless to go and get the second goal that puts the game to bed." | Hamilton Academical boss Martin Canning believes Lennard Sowah's humility helps make him a "good fit" for club. | 1.007408 | 1 |
Currently, women are requested to attend for a smear test every three years when they reach 20, but this will change to 25.
The tests currently stop at age 60 but will now continue to 64.
The Scottish government said the changes followed recommendations from the UK National Screening Committee.
The committee has said testing under-25s is not effective at preventing cervical cancer, but the over-60s remain at risk of developing the condition.
Women over 50 years old will be invited for screening every five years.
Chief medical officer Catherine Calderwood said the changes brought Scotland into line with the rest of the UK.
She said: "The previous age range was 20 to 60 years, however we now know that cervical screening in young women is more likely to pick up normal cell changes which may result in unnecessary treatment while not changing the number of cases of cancer.
"Meanwhile, older women remain at risk of cervical cancer beyond the age of 60 when screening previously stopped."
Ms Calderwood added that cervical screening saved about 5,000 lives in the UK every year. The UK government raised the screening age from 20 to 25 in 2004.
Robert Music, chief executive of Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, said: "Screening saves lives, yet the number of women attending this test in Scotland is falling year on year and in 2014/15 only 70.4% of eligible women took up their invitation.
"This downward trend is extremely concerning as cervical cancer is one of the only cancers that can be prevented.
"We urge all women aged 25-64 to join the cervical screening programme when invited. It is a five minute test that could quite simply save a life." | The age at which women in Scotland are asked to attend their first screening test for the signs of cervical cancer is to increase from Monday. | 2.357491 | 2 |
The 26-year-old made 71 appearances for the Scottish Premiership side over two seasons, but was released at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.
Former Liverpool youngster Amoo moved to Scotland after playing 70 league matches for Carlisle United.
"I'm looking forward to moving back to England and showing my stuff here," said Amoo.
"I know how competitive this level is with a lot of games to be played, so I want to chip in with as much as I can to help the team.
"They finished just outside the play-offs last season and it's clear there is a strong group of talented players, who I am keen to get to work with."

The 26-year-old tested positive for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, after Thistle's Premiership match against Celtic on 3 December last year.
He was banned for two years in April by the National Anti-Doping Panel.
Following an appeal by McMillan, the NADP reconvened in Glasgow in July and upheld the original decision.
McMillan's suspension runs from 18 December 2014 to 17 December 2016.
The player does not deny the validity of the test but has always said he consumed the cocaine without knowing he had done so.
McMillan says that, while at the home of his partner's parents, he drank from the wrong glass, not realising the drink had been mixed with cocaine by a friend of his partner's family, who had tried to hide his drug consumption.
McMillan's agent, Tony Asghar, told Ukad: "He was oblivious to the fact that it contained any other substance [than alcohol] and thought nothing of it."
Ukad chief executive Nicole Sapstead stressed the importance to all athletes of "strict liability".
She said: "They are solely responsible for any banned substance that is found in their system, regardless of how it got there or whether there was an intention to cheat or not.
"The principle of strict liability can be challenging for athletes. They have to ensure that they understand the anti-doping rules and that their family, friends, coaches and athlete support personnel understand them too.
"They need to be aware of the risks their career faces if they test positive, and ensure they manage that risk at all times."
McMillan began his career at Rangers and had loan spells at Hamilton, Queen of the South and Wrexham before joining Dunfermline in January 2012.
He joined Partick Thistle the following March and was sacked by the Jags on 28 February this year following an investigation by the club. | Former Partick Thistle defender Jordan McMillan has been banned from all sport for two years by UK Anti-Doping (Ukad). | 1.248831 | 1 |

"Frank Lampard is a Man City player," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"When he decided to go to a direct competitor then love stories are over."
The Portuguese coach added: "I don't believe in stories of passion and heart, maybe I am too pragmatic in football. He did his job as a professional."

Lampard's goal came on his home debut for City, having joined the club on loan from Major League Soccer side New York City.
It cancelled out Andre Schurrle's opener for Chelsea, which had come minutes after the hosts had Pablo Zabaleta sent off for a second bookable offence after fouling Diego Costa.
The equaliser denied Chelsea the chance to move five points clear at the top of the Premier League.
"I feel that when a player leaves another club and plays for a direct opponent, he is not going there for a holiday, he is going there to try and beat his club - the one everyone considers the club of his heart, but not any more," Mourinho told BBC Sport.
"Maybe again [Chelsea will be in his heart] when he leaves City, but while at City he wants to beat Chelsea. That is the nature of football."
Lampard was applauded by both Manchester City and Chelsea fans when he came on with 12 minutes remaining.
"The reception I got when I came on was amazing, I can't speak highly enough of the fans," he said.
"I came here to do a job and it was a special and weird day. It was a difficult day for me at the end because what do you do? You're caught in the middle.
"What was a win for me today?

Gillespie, who is a vegan, made the comments in an interview with the Yorkshire Post.
Wensleydale Creamery signed a two-year extension to its sponsorship of the Headingley side in April.
"I hope one day the dairy industry can be shut down. I think it's disgusting and wrong on so many levels," he said.
The former Australia pace bowler added: "It's out of my control, just like the fact that cricket balls are made of leather.
"I'll have it out with people, I don't care. There's nothing wrong with standing up for what you believe in."
A spokesman for the sponsor said it would seek more clarity on Gillespie's comments.
"That's a very bold statement, and I need to understand a bit more about what he's actually trying to say there," he said.
"We are very proud sponsors. Our milk comes from over 40 local farms with very high standards of welfare." | Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie has risked upsetting one of the club's main sponsors after saying he "hopes one day the dairy industry can be shut down". | 0.838526 | 1 |
On Tuesday, a 34-year-old former kick boxer from Londonderry was jailed for 16 months after an incident which left a man with serious head injuries.
Ch Insp Alan Hutton told the BBC that the number of deaths is alarming.
"That figure does not even include the people who have been injured as a result of an attack and survived," he said.
"As soon as you strike somebody, you don't know what the impact is going to be, either that physical strike could cause injury in itself or the very nature of a fall, against a piece of furniture or the kerb or the road."
The number of people who died from such attacks in 2011 was 18.
Ch Insp Hutton was raising awareness following the conviction of Andrew McLaughlin at Londonderry Magistrates' Court.
The father-of-two, from Shanreagh Park, admitted punching a man during a row at a birthday party earlier this year.
His victim hit his head on a table and suffered a fractured skull. He is still under the care of the brain injury unit at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital.
"The vast majority of the cases we see are simply people reacting to something," Ch Insp Hutton said.
"I don't think many people go out with the intention of causing such injuries.
"Whether fuelled by alcohol, other substances, aggression or anger, whenever you strike someone there is a real potential for that happening." | Twenty-three people have died in Northern Ireland from "one-punch attacks" since 2004, police have said. | 1.327843 | 1 |
The Southampton sailor, who turns 40 on Wednesday, is the first confirmed athlete on either the Olympic or Paralympic team.
It will be a third Games for Lucas, who competes in the one-person 2.4mR keelboat event.
"It's amazing that I'm the first athlete to be selected," she said.
Lucas, who was born without thumbs and has limited movement in her arms, beat Megan Pascoe to the sole GB slot in the class.
In 2012, she won gold in London to become the first GB sailor to win a Paralympic medal since the sport became a full part of the Games programme in 2000.
"It's a massive relief to know I'm going to Rio and have the opportunity to defend my gold medal," she added.
"It's a huge privilege, but also it means we can really focus on preparing for Rio and the specifics of the venue.
"London was an amazing experience but no sailor has yet managed to defend their Paralympic title. It would be amazing to be the first sailor to be able to do that, so that's the drive and the goal for Rio."
Lucas has been in superb form this year and is the only GB athlete in her class to have secured podium places in the Royal Yachting Association's (RYA) four qualification events, including silver at the 2014 IFDS World Championships and bronze in the 2.4mR Open World Championships.
Her selection comes with sailing missing out on being part of the programme for the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo.
Sailing team leader and RYA Olympic manager Stephen Park said: "By selecting at this early stage it allows us to focus our attentions on optimising Helena's performance and the specific challenges of Rio itself, which is a very difficult venue in sailing terms, while at the same time harnessing Megan's undoubted talent to aid the British team's medal-winning prospects across the Paralympic classes."
GB has qualified a further five slots for athletes to compete in the Skud-18 and the Sonar class in Rio and competition for places in those classes will continue over the coming months. | Paralympic sailing champion Helena Lucas has been named as the first member of the Great Britain team for Rio 2016. | 1.197317 | 1 |
Ruihai Logistics chairman Yu Xuewei was also fined more than 700,000 yuan (about $100,000) over the disaster in the eastern port city of Tianjin.
He is among 49 staff and government officials jailed for their role in the firm's illegal operations.
Most of the dead were firefighters and police. Eight bodies were never found.

Others sentenced were found guilty on charges ranging from abuse of power to storing dangerous substances illegally.

The permit, given by his predecessor, allowed a coastal area to be reclaimed for the Futenma airbase relocation.
But a central government spokesman said there is "no change" in plans to proceed.
Tokyo has been engaged in a long-running stand-off with local authorities on the issue.
The government wants to move the Futenma airbase, which is in a densely populated area, to a more remote area of Okinawa on reclaimed land.
Japan's public broadcaster NHK reported that the regional bureau of the defence ministry is expected to file a legal challenge against Gov Takeshi Onaga's decision.
Many Okinawans want the US base moved away permanently from the island.
They believe the relocation will damage the environment and associate US bases with accidents and crime.

Sydney's Daily Telegraph reported the investigation concerns two games involving the north Sydney-based Manly Sea Eagles last year.
It said the games were against South Sydney Rabbitohs and Parramatta Eels.
"The organised crime squad is in the early stage of examining information relating to alleged match-fixing in the NRL," said New South Wales police.
Manly's media department was unavailable for comment, while the NRL said it was co-operating with authorities.
"The possibility of the existence of match-fixing within our sport cuts to the core of our sport and our values," said NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg.
"We will take any action necessary to protect the integrity of the game."
In 2011, Ryan Tandy was banned for life after being convicted of match-fixing while playing for Canterbury Bulldogs against North Queensland in 2010.

Paul Sutton said that Mr Chappell, who bought BHS from Sir Philip's retail empire, had initially been his driver.
Mr Sutton had been interested in buying BHS, but abandoned the plan after a dossier was passed to Sir Philip.
Mr Sutton told MPs investigating the BHS collapse the material was part of an alleged attempt to blackmail him.
He said a campaign was being waged against him, and agreed to stand down from the BHS deal.
Mr Chappell then emerged as a potential buyer, and bought BHS last year for £1. The business collapsed this year with the loss of up to 11,000 jobs and a big hole the pension fund.
Mr Sutton said he did not know who had recommended to Sir Philip that Mr Chappell take the purchase forward.
"It certainly wasn't me", Mr Sutton said. "It baffles me... I just don't know."
Mr Sutton claimed that Mr Chappell had owed him £160,000 from a failed property development on the Isle of Wight.
As to why he got involved with Mr Chappell some years later, Mr Sutton said he had received a call from Mr Chappell who appeared to be "down on his uppers" and he decided to give him some work, initially as a driver and paid on an ad hoc basis.
"Involving him was the only way I could get my money back," Mr Sutton told MPs.
He said he was completely unaware of what Mr Chappell was doing behind the scenes, as he had hired his own team of advisers to complete the deal.
The BHS pension scheme, and who would take on the liabilities, is a big part of the MPs' investigation.
Mr Sutton said that Sir Philip told him that he would take care of the pension and that there had never been any plan to offload it as part of the sale.
MPs asked if Mr Sutton would have bought BHS without the pension deficit? "Yes", he replied.
He never had a chance to discuss things with the BHS Pension Trustees and the Pensions Regulator as his attempt to buy the business didn't get that far down the road, he said. | A businessmen who introduced Dominic Chappell to Sir Philip Green said he "never thought in a million years" that he would end up running BHS. | 0.95064 | 1 |
Dovizioso, 30, started from pole after the race in Sepang had been delayed by rain, but dropped to third early on.
He overhauled fellow Italian Valentino Rossi for the lead with five laps left after Rossi ran wide and pushed home his advantage.
It was only his second MotoGP victory in 159 races.
"It's really nice to come to this moment," said Dovizioso. "In these conditions I struggled a lot in the race and had some problems, but I really wanted it."
Rossi finished second ahead of Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo to secure runners-up spot in the championship, while Spanish world champion Marc Marquez, who had been hampered by illness over the past few days, crashed out of fourth place during the race and eventually finished 11th.

UN-backed Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj and Khalifa Haftar, the rival military commander who controls the east, met in Paris on Tuesday.
They are aiming to end the conflict which has engulfed the country since Col Muammar Gaddafi was ousted in 2011.
French President Emmanuel Macron said the rivals could soon be seen as symbols of Libya's reconciliation.
"We commit to a ceasefire and to refrain from any use of armed force for any purpose that does not strictly constitute counter-terrorism," they said in a joint, 10-point statement.
The document also pledged to move towards holding elections - which could take place as early as 2018 - and "building the rule of law" in a country struggling to control the armed groups which have stepped into the power vacuum left by the Gaddafi regime.
Mr Sarraj's Government of National Accord (GNA), which is backed by the UN and based in the capital Tripoli, has tried to win the support of the various militias and politicians since coming to power in 2016.
But Gen Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), based in Tobruk, 1,000km (620 miles) to the east, refuses to recognise the GNA. Gen Haftar is leading the battle against Islamist militants, and recently declared victory in Benghazi, the country's second city.
Talks earlier this year failed to result in a joint statement. However, the two men shook each others' hands following this latest round, which was chaired by the UN's envoy to Libya, Ghassan Salame.
"The cause of peace has made a lot of progress today," Mr Macron told reporters gathered at the chateau outside of Paris, praising the leaders' "historic courage". "The Mediterranean [region] needs this peace."
Mr Macron and other European leaders had been hoping for some sort of agreement today, as Libya has become a key route for migrants making their way to Europe.
Tens of thousands of people have set off from its coast in hope of reaching Europe this year alone, with many men, women and children drowning in the attempt.
Mr Macron said he hoped this agreement would be a blow to the human traffickers who work in the region. | Libya's opposing governments have committed to a conditional ceasefire following talks in France. | 1.773883 | 2 |
It will become one of 10 "sound preservation centres" that will work with the British Library to protect rare and unique recordings as part of a £18.8m project.
In Wales alone, 5,000 items will be digitised.
Lona Mason, visual images librarian at the library, said it was "a race against time" to save the recordings.
"They're all on various formats, from old wax cylinder recordings, vinyl, tape recordings and cassettes, and they're vulnerable because they're decaying," she told the Newyddion 9 programme.
"Also, we don't have the machines to play these type of formats anymore."
The Welsh material will include interviews with Welsh migrants to North America and Patagonia, dialect recordings, interviews with industry workers, their families and the community, archives of Welsh traditional music and political speeches by national politicians.
Linda Tomos, The National Library of Wales' chief executive, said: "This is great news for sound collections in Wales. The National Library is delighted to be part of this important project and is grateful to the Heritage Lottery Fund for their support in making this project possible.
"This project will significantly contribute towards developing skills, providing training and preserving our sound heritage."

West Sussex County Council has proposed changing the entry age for several schools in the Storrington area.
Currently students in the area leave primary at 10 then transfer to a middle school until they are 13, before joining a secondary school.
The council may bring the schools in line with the rest of the county where pupils start secondary school at 11.
Jeremy Hunt, the council's cabinet member for education, said: "Ofsted advised us some time ago that we needed to develop a consistent approach to education across the whole county.
"The aim of this is to ensure children are given the best opportunities to learn and prepare for adult life, while at the same time retaining the first-class system of education in the area."
The consultation will be opened on Monday, with a view to any changes being implemented in September 2017. | The age at which pupils enter secondary school in a part of Sussex may be changed under plans being considered. | 1.52533 | 2 |
The Barnsley defender is close to a switch to the Liberty Stadium.
"I don't think there will be more new signings. Obviously the plan was to bring another centre back in," Curtis told BBC Wales Sport.
"If there was a bonus of getting another forward, great, but as far as I know, that is all of the deals concluded."
Mawson will have big shoes to fill after Swansea reluctantly sold captain Ashley Williams to Everton after eight years with the club.
However, Curtis thinks the 22-year old can be an instant success for the Swans despite never having played in the top flight.
"What he lacks is the experience of playing in the Premier League, but he has all the attributes and qualities to suggest he can make the step up," he said.
"Alfie came come in now during the international break and get his feet under the table, so to speak."
Curtis offered no excuses for the Swans after they were defeated 2-1 at Leicester City and like boss Francesco Guidolin conceded that the Premier League champions deserved their victory.
"It was 2-1, we could have got something at the end, but we certainly wouldn't have deserved it," Curtis explained.
"All credit to Leicester, for the way they played, they didn't allow us to play at all and they bossed the game in many ways.
"No complaints from us, Leicester deserved to win and we were fortunate maybe to come out with a 2-1 result."

Extensive work, including construction of a new roof, will be carried out.
The total cost has yet to be be confirmed by the royal household but it will be published next week.
A spokeswoman said there had previously been no running water and the couple had paid for all internal furnishings.
She added asbestos was removed and an overhaul of the electrics was carried out.
Prince William and Catherine's London apartment was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and was the home of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon.
The princess remained there after their divorce and lived there until her death in 2002.
The living space was last refurbished in 1963.
A spokeswoman for the couple said: "This is the duke and duchess's one and only official residence. It is here that they plan to stay for many, many years to come.
"We also had to take into account the fact that Kensington Palace is a scheduled ancient monument, and all elements of the refurbishment had to be agreed with English Heritage.
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid privately for all the internal furnishings, including carpets and curtains.

Most of the deaths resulted from a stampede as hundreds of students rushed to escape the blaze through two exits, the Kano state officials said.
Twenty-five others were injured in the fire which broke out as students were sleeping at the government-run girls school in Jogana village, they added.

Fire-fighters spent seven hours trying to put out the blaze, an eyewitness told the BBC's Hausa service.

Sex worker Laura Lee was granted leave to seek a judicial review of the Stormont legislation.
A date for a full hearing of the unprecedented legal action will be set later this year.
Northern Ireland is currently the only UK region to make the purchase of sex a criminal offence.
A judge ruled she has established an arguable case that amendments to the Human Trafficking and Exploitation Act breach her human rights to privacy and freedom from discrimination.
The amended law was introduced last year after a private member's bill brought before the assembly by the Democratic Unionist Party MLA Lord Morrow.
Although the law shifts the burden from sex workers to their clients, workers believe it could leave them more vulnerable to violence.
They fear it will drive the trade underground and expose them to increased danger by making it increasingly difficult to screen customers who may use fake names and disposable phones.
Ms Lee's legal challenge is directed against the Department of Justice - even though former Minister David Ford opposed the new legislative clause.
However, Northern Ireland's Attorney General, John Larkin, representing the First and Deputy First Ministers, claimed proceedings should be thrown out at the first stage.
He insisted no unlawful act had been identified, and suggested the Act brought in by Lord Morrow provided Ms Lee, 38, with greater protection from any abusive behaviour.
Mr Larkin also submitted that protections under the European Convention on Human Rights do not cover sex for hire.
Ruling on the application for leave to seek a judicial review, the judge acknowledged the Attorney General's points had "considerable force".
But he held that the arguments advanced by Ms Lee's legal team were strong enough to meet the "modest threshold" of securing the right to progress their case.
The judge stressed his verdict was no indication that she will ultimately succeed. | A woman has been given the go-ahead to challenge a new law making it illegal for men to pay for sex in Northern Ireland | 1.436962 | 1 |
Save Sekhmeka Group Egypt said the statue of a court official was a symbol of its ancient civilisation, and "belongs to the Egyptian people".
The group wants the Egyptian government to step in and claim the statue.
Spencer Compton, the second Marquis of Northampton, acquired the figure during a trip to Egypt in 1850.
The statue was presented to Northampton museum by his son some years later.
The statue was sold by Christie's of London in July last year to an unknown buyer. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) then imposed an export bar which expires on 29 July.
A DCMS spokesman said: "The temporary export bar may be extended to 29 March 2016 if a serious intention to raise funds to purchase the statue is made.
"Anyone interested should contact the Arts Council before the current deferral period expires."
Northampton Borough Council said any challenge to the export was a matter between the government department and the buyer as it had received the money for the sale.
The group in Egypt said: "Selling a statue owned by the Egyptian people is a crime against all international norms and standards.
"The British government need to act fast and abide by international law. We call on... David Cameron to intervene to reserve (retain) Sekhemka in the UK and to extend the deadline of release so that the Egyptian government can recover the statue."
Christie's said that any challenge to the sale was "a matter between the owner and the export licence committee". | A campaign group in Egypt has joined the fight over the £15.76m sale of a 4,000-year-old statue by Northampton Borough Council. | 2.154127 | 2 |
The pair, along with third-placed Dani Pedrosa, wore T-shirts that read "always in our hearts" on the podium in memory of Moto2 rider Luis Salom, who died during practice on Friday.
Marquez moved into the championship lead on 125 points, 10 ahead of Jorge Lorenzo, who did not finish.
Rossi is now third on 103 points after seven rounds.
The Yamaha rider started fifth and dropped to seventh before taking the lead on lap seven.
Rossi traded first place with Honda's Marquez in the closing stages but made a move with two laps to go for his second win of the season.
"It's a great victory, one of the best of my career," said the 37-year-old.
Rossi accused Marquez of "making me lose the championship" last season but the pair shook hands after the race.
"The important thing is that we had a great battle with Valentino and I think the people enjoyed it," said Marquez.
Lorenzo came off his Yamaha bike after a clash with Ducati's Andrea Iannone, who he will replace next year, on lap 17.
"I am appalled by Iannone's move," said Yamaha team boss Lin Jarvis.
"He hasn't learned his lesson from what he did earlier this season where he took out his own team mate.

Former organiser The British Heart Foundation announced last week it was pulling out due to the £40,000 event no longer being viable.
However the council says it is "pulling out the stops" to ensure the fundraiser goes ahead as planned on 11 October.
The Save the Children charity has also announced it could "take up the baton", but only with financial support.

Transport for London (TfL) said 23 London bus routes along Europe's busiest shopping street will cut or re-routed.
TfL said the changes would reduce congestion and improve reliability.
But it also admitted some customers would need to change buses to complete their journeys.
The changes to the routes followed a wide-ranging consultation to ensure services were more closely matched to changing demand.
Buses will be re-routed away from Oxford Street, with some terminating at Park Lane, Trafalgar Square and Tottenham Court Road.
Other bus routes will be extended to maintain connections.
The bus routes affected include the numbers: 3, 6, 8, 15, 22, 23, 25, 46, 73, 137, 172, 242, 332, 390, 425, 452, C2, N2, N3, N8, N15, N22 and N73.
Tfl said it would start to implement the changes to these routes in the summer.
In his election manifesto last year, London Mayor Sadiq Khan promised to remove traffic from Oxford Street by 2020.
A further consultation, likely to include plans to pedestrianise the road, will launch later this month.
Leon Daniels, TfL's director of surface transport, said: "As our city changes around us, we need to ensure the bus network changes too.
"Making sure we have the right level of buses in central London is key to keeping our city moving."
Jace Tyrrell, chief executive of New West End Company, added: "We welcome Transport for London's proposal to reduce the number of buses across the West End, which will greatly help reduce congestion and improve air quality in London's retail heartland." | The number of bus routes on London's Oxford Street has been cut by 40% ahead of its potential pedestrianisation. | 1.565435 | 2 |

"I will be remembered as the coach to lose 7-1 but I knew that risk when I took the job," said Scolari, who guided Brazil to the 2002 World Cup trophy.
"The person who decided the line-up, the tactics, was me. It was my choice."
Scolari described the result, which surpassed the 3-0 defeat by France in the 1998 final as Brazil's heaviest World Cup loss, as "catastrophic".
"My message for the Brazilian people is please excuse us for this performance," added the former Chelsea manager.
"I'm sorry that we weren't able to get to the final and we're going to try to win the third-place match. We still have something to play for."
Brazil, the first team to concede seven goals in a World Cup semi-final, will play either Netherlands or Argentina in Brasilia on Saturday.

Scolari has suffered a notable defeat before, when his Portugal side were unexpectedly beaten on home soil by Greece in the final of Euro 2004.
Brazil were unbeaten in 14 games ahead of the meeting with Germany and Scolari played down the absence of striker Neymar, who fractured a vertebra during the quarter-final victory over Colombia.
He said: "Let's not try to find an excuse in Neymar."
Thomas Muller's opener was the first of five goals in 18 first-half minutes, with strikes from Miroslav Klose and Sami Khedira sandwiching a Toni Kroos double.
Klose, 36, became the record scorer in World Cup history by netting his 16th finals goal - beating the record of Brazil legend Ronaldo.
Substitute Andre Schurrle added two more after the break before Chelsea team-mate Oscar netted a late consolation.
Scolari, who also had captain Thiago Silva suspended for the match, said: "We did our best - but we came up against a great German team.
"We couldn't react to going behind. Not even the Germans can tell you how this happened - but it's because of their skills and you have to respect that." | Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari described Brazil's 7-1 World Cup semi-final loss to Germany as "the worst day" of his life, and said he took responsibility. | 1.158544 | 1 |
Efe Ambrose was sent off and Leigh Griffiths missed a penalty as Celtic lost 3-1 to Jim McIntyre's men.
"People will see that we were very good at the start of the game and we have been very good lately," Deila told BBC Scotland.
"It was a day when small things went against us."
The Scottish Premiership leaders face Aberdeen on Wednesday, when they will defend a six-point lead over the second-placed side.
"We need to go on and we have three days to bounce back and win against Aberdeen," said Deila.
Celtic were in control of the semi-final after only 30 seconds, when Gary Mackay-Steven prodded Griffith's cut-back into the net.
But, 13 minutes later, the game was turned on its head when Ambrose fouled Alex Schalk in the box and Martin Woods scored after the Nigeria defender was sent off.
Paul Quinn headed County ahead and Schalk made it three before Griffiths had a penalty saved after Brian Graham was adjudged to have handled in the box.
"I think we started very well and the first 15 minutes was fantastic football," said Deila.
"Then the red card comes and it changes the game, but we controlled the game after that until the break."
The Norwegian thought referee Craig Thomson got it wrong in awarding County's second goal, before which goalkeeper Craig Gordon appeared to be fouled.
"It is a clear free-kick," he said. "It should never be a goal. They just pushed him out of the goal."
Asked if it was a penalty when Ambrose challenged Schalk, Deila said: "He touched him, but I don't think he would have reached the ball.
"I think Craig Gordon would have saved it. It was a very hard decision for the referee."
Deila said he was "disappointed" by the defeat but added: "We are in a good position in the league and still in the Scottish Cup, so we still have things to fight for." | Manager Ronny Deila asked Celtic fans to recognise the positives in his team after they lost their League Cup semi-final to Ross County at Hampden. | 1.021157 | 1 |
Rahm Emanuel says every patrol car in Chicago would be equipped with a Taser gun, which is usually non-lethal.
He said police must learn when they can use a gun and when not to do so.
Protesters have urged Mr Emanuel to step down over a case in which an officer fatally shot a black teenager.
Laquan McDonald's death led to the city's police chief being fired and days of protests,
"Just because you train that you can use force doesn't mean you should," said Mr Emanuel. "Helping officers make that distinction - and the training that goes with it - is essential."
Mr Emanuel said the department would make 1,400 Tasers available to officers, up from 700.
On the night Mr McDonald was killed, several officers were heard asking for a Taser before officer Jason Van Dyke opened fire, shooting the teenager 16 times.
Mr Van Dyke has since been charged with murder.
However, the shootings have continued.
Just after Christmas, Chicago police shot and killed two people.
Bettie Jones, a 55-year-old mother-of-five was shot "accidentally", police said, as officers opened fire on, and killed, 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier, who they said was being "combative" toward officers.

Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union will vote on whether to launch campaigns of action.
The disputes involve this year's pay deal for directly employed staff and a row over wages for employees at facilities company Interserve.
Transport for London (TfL) urged the parties involved to resolve the issues.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said the union planned to send a "clear message to management".
The union said the results of the ballot were due on 12 May.
TfL director Rory O'Neill, said: "This is a dispute between the RMT leadership and KeolisAmey Docklands and Interserve who employ the staff concerned.
"We urge all parties to sit down and talk through the issues to try and resolve them as soon as possible."
KeolisAmey Docklands, who operate and maintain the DLR, said the strike action was "unnecessary".
Kevin Thomas, managing director of KeolisAmey Docklands, said: "We are disappointed that the RMT union are balloting our employees, particularly as the pay offer reflects the requests received from the RMT."
A spokesman for Interserve said: "We have been in discussion with the union and employees so we are disappointed that strike action is being considered.

Oxfordshire County Council said out of 39 contracts supposed to be completed since 2013, 19 were finished on time.
This led to some schools using temporary classrooms and two had to postpone increases in pupil numbers until the following year.
Contractor Carillion blamed design changes and sub-contractors going bust.
At a recent cabinet meeting, Lorraine Lindsay-Gale, the councillor in charge of property, said: "Council is extremely concerned. We're working really hard with Carillion to try and improve matters".
In a statement the council added it: "Continues to be able to offer around nine out of 10 families in Oxfordshire a place at their first choice school, whether primary or secondary."

The agency was particularly critical of the Saudi defence minister.
Officials in Berlin reacted after the Saudi government reportedly complained about the BND's frank assessment.
"The published assessment does not reflect the position of the German government," a spokesman said.
Saudi Arabia was an important partner "in a crisis-ridden world" and had great significance "especially on the way to peace in Syria", the spokesman insisted.
Anyone seeking a regional solution needed constructive relations with the Saudis, who were supporting rebel groups in the fight against the militant Islamist State (IS) group, he added.
The BND briefing, which emerged in German media, assessed changes in Saudi foreign policy since King Salman took power in January, including its military intervention in neighbouring Yemen and its decision to ramp up support for rebels in Syria. Saudi policies in Lebanon, Bahrain, Iraq were also cited.
"What was previously a cautious diplomatic stance of the elder leaders in the royal family is being replaced by an impulsive policy of intervention," the briefing said, adding that the Saudis were losing faith in the United States as a guarantor of regional peace.
It also singled out the king's son and defence minister, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom it suspected of holding ambitions of securing the royal succession.
Relations between Germany and the Saudis have become tense in recent years, analysts say, because of Berlin's decision to tighten restrictions on arms contracts and to speak out on human rights.
The German coalition government agreed this week to take part in a supporting role in the fight against IS militants in Syria.

Its members voted 4-1 for action after rejecting pay offers from Network Rail, which owns and maintains most of Britain's railway infrastructure.
Union bosses rejected the offer of a one-off £500 payment to staff and three years of rises in line with inflation.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said the result showed "the anger" of staff.
"It is now down to Network Rail to start taking this issue seriously, to understand the deep-seated grievance felt by their staff and to come forward with a renewed offer which protects pay and jobs," Mr Cash said.
"The union executive will now consider this overwhelming mandate for action and decide on our next steps aimed at securing pay and workplace justice."

Hadrian's Wall of Sound will feature hundreds of musicians from the North East and Cumbria performing along its 73 mile (117km) length.
Here's a look at what people can expect.
The event will start at daybreak on 5 June in Bowness on Solway, West Cumbria, and finish about 14 hours later in Wallsend, North Tyneside.
A baton will be passed between performers, who will use various modes of transport, including horses, motorbikes, unicycles, and an open-top vintage bus.
There will be a diverse range of acts including a pianist performing on a white grand piano in a field, teenage rap artists, Morris Dancers, a Northumbrian piper, and a ukulele band.
Durham-born operatic bass Graeme Danby, who will be performing on top of Cawfield's Crag, said: "I am a lucky man - I get to sing opera in the world's best opera houses but occasionally I get to do something different.
"This year it is singing my own special translation to a favourite aria from Mozart's opera Magic Flute in one of the world's most beautiful spots whilst being filmed by a drone helicopter."
He will then pass the baton on the Royal Northern Sinfonia Wind Quintet.
BBC Music Day will feature programmes, events and concerts across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
More than ten UK towns and cities will host events, with a number of star names, such as Tom Jones, Lulu, producer Mark Ronson and Bollywood singer Kanika Kapoor acting as BBC Music Day Ambassadors.
The aim is to bring people together through their love of music, and the public has been asked to nominate unsung heroes - people who have made a contribution to the local music scene.

Ex-Blackburn midfielder Dunn replaced Darren Kelly on a temporary basis in September and was confirmed in his first management role after a month.
Assistant manager Dean Holden and first team coach Keith Brown have also left.
BBC Radio Manchester reports that a replacement has been chosen, but terms have yet to be agreed with his current club.
A club statement said they hoped to confirm an appointment by Wednesday afternoon at the latest.
"I would like to place on record my thanks and gratitude to David for his tireless efforts over the past four months under what have been extremely difficult circumstances," chairman Simon Corney told the club website.
Oldham were 19th in League One when Dunn first took charge, but they have since slumped to 22nd, five points adrift of safety.

Cafodd y milwr Americanaidd, fu'n gwasanaethu yn Irac, ei dedfrydu i 35 mlynedd yn y carchar yn 2013 am ryddhau gwybodaeth gyfrinachol i wefan Wikileaks.
Roedd rhyddhau Ms Manning yn gynnar yn un o benderfyniadau olaf Barack Obama fel arlywydd. Cafodd hynny ei feirniadu gan y darpar arlywydd ar y pryd, Donald Trump.

Tra'n cyfaddef ei bod wedi rhyddhau'r wybodaeth tra'n gwasanaethu yn Irac, mynnodd wneud hynny er mwyn codi ymwybyddiaeth am effaith gweithredu milwrol yr Unol Daleithiau ar ddinasyddion diniwed.

Philae, the first spacecraft to land on a comet, was dropped on to the surface of Comet 67P by its mothership, Rosetta, last November.
It worked for 60 hours before its solar-powered battery ran flat.
The comet has moved nearer to the sun since and Philae has enough power to work again, says the BBC's science correspondent Jonathan Amos.
The Philae craft made three short contacts of about 10 seconds each at roughly 9.30pm on Sunday.
The probe sent the message: 'Hello Earth! Can you hear me?"
Scientists say they now waiting for the next contact.
What is the Philae lander?
Philae is designed to analyse ice and rock on the comet.
The Rosetta probe took 10 years to reach the comet, and the lander - about the size of a washing-machine - bounced at least a kilometre when it touched down.
Before it lost power, Philae sent images of its surroundings which showed it was in a type of ditch with high walls blocking sunlight from its solar panels.
Its exact location on the comet has since been a mystery. | The European Space Agency (ESA) says its comet lander, Philae, has woken up and contacted Earth. | 3.576494 | 4 |

It can now be taken off the list of countries where the disease is endemic, if the World Health Organization (WHO) confirms the results.
Nigeria had struggled to contain polio since some northern states imposed a ban on vaccinations in 2003.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only countries to record cases in 2015.
Global health experts are hoping polio can become only the second human infectious disease to be eradicated, after smallpox.
Nigeria will still have to wait a further two years without a recorded case to be certified as polio free.

Nigeria polio: Immunising the vaccine fears
Nigeria's battle to contain polio
Polio can only be prevented by vaccination as there is no cure.
The 2003 immunisation ban in some northern states followed allegations by some state governors and religious leaders in the mainly Muslim north that vaccines were contaminated by Western powers to spread sterility and HIV among Muslims.
Independent tests ordered by the Nigerian government in 2004 declared that the vaccines were safe.
But there was still some hostility in a few areas to vaccination drives, with violent attacks against health workers.
The last attack was in 2013 when nine polio vaccinators were shot dead at health centres in the northern Nigerian city of Kano. | Nigeria has made a vital step towards being declared polio free, after marking a year without a recorded case. | 2.892479 | 3 |

It would cost about £9,000 to buy the temporary urinals.
There would be further ongoing costs for servicing, installation and removal.
They may also be trialled at taxi ranks, where there is usually a marshal.
An Edinburgh City Council spokeswoman, said: "Urinating in the street accounts for a third of all fixed penalty notices for anti-social behaviour and a large amount of residents' complaints.
"We are keen to address this issue with temporary urinals at some of the 'hotspots' around the city." | Portable urinals are set to be trialled in Edinburgh in a bid to cut down on late-night revellers urinating in the street. | 0.953591 | 1 |
The former business secretary said the offer to take a 25% stake in the firm's UK operations is "quite close" to what he would have offered.
He said it showed a commitment to south Wales after Tata announced it would sell its loss-making UK operations.
But he said it was only a first step, with the steel market "awful".
"The 25% offer is quite close to what I would have done," said Sir Vince, who served in the coalition government between 2010 and 2015.
"It sends the right message the government is committed to south Wales and the steel industry and it is within the rules we have to operate."
However, speaking to BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales, he said there were still "a lot of hurdles to overcome".
"We don't know who the buyer is and if there is a buyer, if they will succeed because the economics of the situation at the moment are pretty awful with the low world prices [for steel] and ferocious competition," he said.
This makes a management buyout "risky", Sir Vince said, adding that, long-term, habits in British industry must be changed, with a proper strategy drawn up and more products used that are made in the UK.
Responding to suggestions his successor as business secretary, Sajid Javid, had been slow to intervene, he said the government was "reasonably cautious" because of the "economics of the industry".
He said: "They haven't done a complete U-turn, but they have acknowledged reality that government has an absolutely key role working alongside private business and I'm encouraged by that.
"As a starter it is a good move and we should applaud it. Let's hope there is a good buyer and they can turn it around". | A Tata Steel management buyout is "risky" but the UK government's offer of help is a good one, Sir Vince Cable has said. | 1.027742 | 1 |
The singer is scheduled to go on tour in Australia in December, and tickets are due to go on sale on Monday.
He now has 28 days to appeal.
In 2009, Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend, the pop star Rihanna. He has toured Australia twice since, but the government is under pressure to refuse him this time.
Australia's immigration department has issued a "notice of intention to consider refusal", Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said.
The singer has 28 days to present a case as to why he should be granted a visa, after which a final decision will be made.
Minister for Women Michaelia Cash, who was until recently assistant immigration minister, had urged Mr Dutton to take a stand on the issue.
"People need to understand, if you are going to commit domestic violence and you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, 'You cannot come in because you are not of the character that we expect in Australia'", Senator Cash said.
The decision about Brown's visa follows the government's decision earlier this year to refuse a visa for world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather on similar grounds.
Mayweather had been booked for dinner and nightclub appearances in Sydney and Melbourne in January.
New Zealand has already ruled that Brown is unsuitable for entry into the country. | The US singer Chris Brown has been told he is unlikely to be given a visa to perform in Australia because of his record of domestic violence. | 1.196784 | 1 |
The German, who beat Dominika Cibulkova in Monday's opener, swept past world number four Halep in 82 minutes.
"I'm feeling very, very good here," said Kerber.
American Madison Keys recovered from losing to Halep in her opening match to see off Cibulkova 6-1 6-4 and stay in the hunt for the semi-finals.
Two players will progress from each of the tournament's two groups to contest the semi-finals. Defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Karolina Pliskova and Garbine Muguruza are in the other.
Kerber ended Serena Williams' 186-week stay at world number one in the wake of winning the US Open in September and her trademark precise forehand, which also helped her to the Australian Open title in January, proved too potent as Halep was forced out wide and out of contention.
Kerber played the big points especially well, converting four of five break points, compared with Halep's return of just one break from six opportunities.
She has won only twice on her three previous appearances at the season finale and has never been beyond the group stages. | World number one Angelique Kerber beat Romania's Simona Halep 6-4 6-2 to all but book her place in the last four of the WTA Finals in Singapore. | 0.912963 | 1 |
The deal, announced in 2014, would have seen a $34.6bn takeover by Halliburton of Baker Hughes, creating a powerful rival to global leader Schlumberger.
Halliburton and Baker Hughes are the second and third biggest oil services companies.
That raised concerns about higher prices and reduced competition.
Baker Hughes stands to receive a $3.5bn break-up fee as a result of the deal falling through.
Failure to satisfy regulatory concerns was not the only reason for abandoning the merger.
The fall in the oil price since the proposal was announced changed the financial attractiveness of the cash and shares deal.
The US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to stop the merger last month, arguing it would leave only two dominant suppliers in the well drilling and oil construction services industry.
The European Commission also expressed concerns that the deal might reduce competition and innovation.
Both companies have been hit by a fall in business as oil and gas giants rein back on projects and investments.

Each of them wanted a ticket to the concert.
But for some, the venue, a stadium in a suburban area of Mumbai, was too far to travel, and for others tickets were too expensive, the best reportedly priced at 75,000 rupees (£905; $1,165).
But that did not dampen the spirits of the fans, popularly known as Beliebers, who chose to follow the concert on TV and social media.
And then local media reported about an exhaustive list of things Bieber wanted in Mumbai. Some described the list - which included a washing machine, glass-door refrigerators and a jacuzzi - as bizarre.
But this too did not deter his diehard Indians fans from supporting him.
So it seemed nothing could go wrong for Bieber in India... at least not until he performed.
Looking at the euphoria before his concert, nobody expected any negative feedback.
But some felt that the singer lip-synced some of his songs, and that did not go down well with his fans. Many have taken to Twitter to express their feelings about the singer's performance. Justin Bieber has not made any comment.
Some fans, however, chose to defend Bieber, saying Indians should not feel offended because they are used to Bollywood stars lip-syncing songs recorded by professional playback singers.
And some are also upset about the choice of his casual clothes on stage.
And finally, Bieber reportedly left India shirtless, and it didn't go unnoticed in the media... or maybe he was just changing his shirt? | When pop star Justin Bieber's Mumbai concert was announced, his Indian fans went into a tizzy. | 0.832486 | 1 |

A survey by the Metropolitan Police Federation will consult all its members on their views about equipping officers with weapons.
An extra 600 firearms officers in London have been pledged following the Paris terrorist attacks.
Scotland Yard said it did not support the routine arming of officers.
Does the presence of armed police reassure people?
Ken Marsh, chairman of the Federation, which represents 32,000 officers in London, said it was "only fair" to ask police what they wanted amid a "constant" terror threat.
Questions being put to officers in the survey include:
"We're not an armed force, we never have been" said Mr Marsh.
"But the terrorism threat in London is constant and our officers must be vigilant and be able to deal swiftly with any scenarios we face.
The threat level for international terrorism in the UK has been severe - meaning an attack is highly likely - since August 2014.
Mr Marsh added arming officers could have a "lot of implications" - including harder fitness tests for officers.
"This is not about just giving someone a gun and saying 'get out there'" he said "there's a huge amount of work that would need to be done".
Nationally, the number of armed police is being increased by 1,500.
Unlike most other countries most officers in the UK are unarmed.
2,139
authorised firearms officers
6.7%

An "administrative error" was blamed when the Trust claimed former director Leigh Dineen had been reappointed to the board without its consultation.
The club's new American owners had previously apologised to the Trust for a lack of communication.
Bradley hopes fans get behind the side for Saturday's visit of Crystal Palace.
"Supporters speak up and voice their opinions," he said. "It's all fair. They are the heart and soul of the club.
"But supporters also know that when that team steps on the field, for that 95 minutes, the only thing that matters is what happens with the result."
The Swans are bottom of the Premier League and five points from safety, having failed to win since the opening day of the season.
Bradley has not won in five games since succeeding Francesco Guidolin as manager while Palace have lost their past five games - conceding 13 goals - and are 16th.
"We're just focusing on making sure we put a bad stretch behind us and it's going to happen this week," added Bradley.
"There will be plenty of time for the other things to work themselves out. But let's make sure that the relationship between the team and the supporters carries us through this stretch.
"I want the players to feel that support and the supporters to know the players are going to give everything for them."
Swansea signed Borja Baston, Fernando Llorente, Alfie Mawson, Leroy Fer and Mike van der Hoorn in the summer, but Bradley will look to the January transfer window in order to turn his side's fortunes around.
"The discussions have been positive about identifying ways we can improve the team. The idea is that we are going to look to improve our squad," Bradley said.
"We have a road ahead that will require looking at all the possibilities and fighting like crazy.
"You can make cases for different parts of the field [where we need to strengthen]. Just before January we will make a decision."

The Lincolnshire rider saw off the challenge of early leader James Hillier to win by 12.5 seconds and take the second win of his TT career.
The 31-year-old assumed the lead at the Bungalow on lap two of four and steadily increased his advantage until the chequered flag.
Martin Jessopp from Hampshire secured his first TT podium by finishing third.
Riders Motorcycles pilot Jessopp, also 31, edged out compatriot Gary Johnson by 2.3 seconds after a race-long battle.
Lap record holder Hillier, winner of the race in 2013 and runner-up on three previous occasions, led by two seconds after the opening circuit, thanks to a lap of 118.864mph.
Meanwhile, any chance of Michael Rutter or Danny Webb clinching a win for injured team boss Ryan Farquhar's KMR Kawasaki outfit was quickly extinguished as they retired at Brandywell and Crosby respectively.
RC Express Kawasaki rider Lintin set the fastest lap of the race at 119.80 next time round, and an efficient pitstop saw this year's double North West 200 winner extend his lead.
"I saw that I was two seconds behind so I knuckled down, dug deep on the second lap, and the boys did a great job in the pits," said Lintin.
"I made a couple of mistakes and saw a couple of yellow flags but I pushed on in between those and obviously did enough."

The so-called Internal Ball Camera drone was sent to take pictures and video of the work of the astronauts.
The drone can float in a zero-gravity environment and is operated from earth.

Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said the drone was delivered to the ISS in early June. But only now have the first images and videos that it captured been released.
According to the space agency, it can move "anywhere at any time via autonomous flight and record images from any angle".
Its purpose is quite simply to take pictures and videos - which until now had been done by the astronauts themselves as they document their work and experiments.
According to JAXA this currently "amounts to about 10% of their working hours".

Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Vincent Uzomah said he prayed "God, don't let me die" as he ran to look for help after being stabbed in the stomach.
The boy - who cannot be named - has been sentenced to 11 years detention for the attack at Dixons Kings Academy in Bradford on 11 June.
Mr Uzomah, 50, said he was still too traumatised to return to teaching.
"I was just thinking is it my time to die? Is this my last hour? I didn't say goodbye to my wife, my little kids," he said.
The boy racially abused the father-of-three before stabbing him with a kitchen knife he had brought to school.
Mr Uzomah said he did not realise what had happened until he saw the knife being pulled out from his stomach.
"I looked around for help and there was nobody around. I felt if I stayed in the classroom probably the worst would happen and I started feeling cold inside so I held it tightly and started running towards the reception.
"I just prayed 'God, don't let me die'. I was really frightened."
At the boy's sentencing, Bradford Crown Court heard how the teenager had discussed the attack with a friend beforehand and later made "sick" boasts about his actions on Facebook.
Mr Uzomah later criticised those people who had "liked" a status update from his attacker on the social networking site, which contained the line, "I stick a blade straight in his tummy".
He said: "It makes me feel like the society is drifting away from the normal way of life and if things are not really put into place to correct this, it will keep on getting worse."
But Mr Uzomah said although the attack had caused him and his family pain, he still felt some sympathy for the boy and had forgiven him.
He admitted that he was still too frightened to return to work, despite his passion for teaching.
"The way I'm feeling at the moment, I don't think I could step into the classroom. But I believe with time I will get over it," he said.
"If I go to the park and see some kids who look similar to the boy that stabbed me, for sure it's there. I feel the need to protect myself. It is really not a good feeling."

Dean Carl Evans, 22, from Reading, died in July in the city of Manbij after joining a Kurdish military group.
His father revealed his will states he wished to be buried with his "brothers and sisters" in the war-torn country.
The Foreign Office has told him his body may still be in Syria despite reports it was moved to Iraq.
John Carl Evans, from Wallingford, Oxfordshire, said his son was shot and then killed in a rocket attack.
He added that the will sounded as if "Dean knew he would pass away there".
"He was shot, and a Kurdish woman tried to help him. But they were fired on by a rocket-propelled grenade round and both lost their lives," he said.
"I was told his body was moved to the Iraqi border and then to Erbil, but now I am told it is still in Syria," he said.
The former soldier said he had no idea his son was in Syria, only learning of his whereabouts when the Foreign Office contacted him to tell him about Dean's death.
"The last time I spoke to him was just before his 21st birthday, but it was hard to get hold of him after that," he said.
"I thought he was a farmer in Wiltshire, living with his stepfather.
"The news still hasn't sunk in, I haven't had any time for my own grieving. But I am proud of him and his family is proud of him."
Dean travelled to Syria to join the People's Defence Units (YPG) - a Kurdish military force fighting in northern Syria.
The YPG described Mr Evans as a "man with the noblest of intentions who planted a seed of love into the hearts of [his] friends and all the peoples of Rojava [Western Kurdistan]".
The Foreign Office said it had advised for some time against all travel to Syria.

The high jumper showed perfect technique to bring India its first gold since 2004.
Thangavelu's win also means that India's paralympians have already outperformed India's Olympic contingent of more than 100 athletes.
The athlete has received cash rewards from the government and praise from celebrities like legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
But the celebrations and rewards around Saturday's win pale in comparison to the adulation India showered on badminton player PV Sindhu and wrestler Sakshi Malik who won silver and bronze respectively at the Rio Olympics.
Speaking to the Indian Express, Thangavelu, who lost his right foot in a road accident when he was five, said he won the medal for his mother who had always supported him.
He said his mother motivated him to participate in sports and helped him retain his confidence whenever he didn't perform well.
"We were already poor, and she was the only earning member. The accident made my mother's life more difficult. She had to take care of a disabled son," he told the newspaper.

Eman Abd El Aty, said to have weighed around 500kg (1,102lb), left an Indian hospital on Thursday after doctors said she lost more than 250kg.
She flew business class to the United Arab Emirates. Doctors say she will undergo a year of physiotherapy there.
Recent weeks saw a row erupt between her doctors in India and her family.
It began when her sister, Shaimaa Selim, released a short video on social media alleging that her sister was still unable to speak or move, and had not lost as much weight as the hospital was claiming.
The hospital strongly denied the allegations.
The surgeon, Dr Muffi Lakdawala, told an Indian news channel that Ms Selim had wanted her sister to stay in hospital until she was able to walk again, but orthopaedic specialists had told her Ms Abd El Aty would never walk again.
Doctors, paramedics and nurses accompanied her on the passenger flight to Abu Dhabi, according to reports.
She had arrived in India on a specially-modified Airbus plane in February and was put on a special liquid diet to reduce her weight so that doctors could perform bariatric surgery.
The AFP news agency quoted newspapers in United Arab Emirates as saying that Ms Selim has disagreed with how the Indian doctors had treated her sister.
"I asked for help (in the Emirates) after noticing the lack of progress," she said on Thursday.
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese and carrying an excessive amount of body fat.
The two most common types of weight loss surgery are:
Gastric band, where a band is used to reduce the size of the stomach so a smaller amount of food is required to make someone feel full

The company said details, including names and addresses, had been accessed by using a login to its database of customers eligible for a phone upgrade.
It said the breach then allowed upgrade devices to be "unlawfully intercepted".
On Wednesday the National Crime Agency (NCA) said it had arrested two men from Manchester and one man from Kent as part of its inquiries.
A 48-year-old man from Orpington, Kent, and a 39-year old man from Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, were arrested on suspicion of computer misuse offences, the NCA said.
The third man, a 35-year old from Moston, Greater Manchester, was arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
All three have been released on bail pending further enquiries, an NCA spokeswoman said.
Three, which has nine million customers, is investigating how many accounts were accessed, but said the database did not contain payment, card or bank details.
A spokesman for the company said: "Over the last four weeks Three has seen an increasing level of attempted handset fraud.
"This has been visible through higher levels of burglaries of retail stores and attempts to unlawfully intercept upgrade devices.
"We've been working closely with the police and relevant authorities.
"To date, we have confirmed approximately 400 high value handsets have been stolen through burglaries and eight devices have been illegally obtained through the upgrade activity."
He added: "In order to commit this type of upgrade handset fraud, the perpetrators used authorised logins to Three's upgrade system.
"This upgrade system does not include any customer payment, card information or bank account information."
The company said it has since strengthened its data controls and is contacting the eight handset fraud victims.
The use of a login to access the Three database marks it out from a hacking attack on Talk Talk, which led to the theft of the personal data of nearly 157,000 customers.

Jerome Mullen, who is NI Honorary Polish Consul, said leadership "must come from the top to have this stamped out once and for all".
He was speaking after a spate of attacks on the homes of Polish people in north Belfast.
"It's quite shocking what's happening," he said.
"Clearly there is a lawless disaffected group of young people wandering around this particular area taking their vengeance out on this community.
"The police have only made one arrest - that clearly is because they haven't got sufficient information to identify the people perpetrating these crimes.
"Why is this information not coming forward?"
Mr Mullen called for politicians in north Belfast to "step up and condemn what is happening to this community and offering whatever support they can provide".

Mr Bouterse won the necessary 36 votes out of 50 after weeks of negotiations with political factions following a narrow election victory in May.
Mr Bouterse, 64, first led Suriname after taking power in a coup in 1980.
He has been accused of killing political opponents and convicted of drug trafficking in the Netherlands.
His supporters waved flags and cheered outside parliament in the capital Paramaribo, after he secured enough votes for the presidency.
But opponents voiced dismay that the former coup leader had been elected.
"We have gone totally mad in this country," government employee Michael Charles told the Associated Press news agency.
Mr Bouterse's Mega Combination coalition won won 23 out of 51 seats in May's parliamentary election, so he had to get the backing of other parties to secure the two-thirds majority he needed to be elected president by parliament.
Desi Bouterse first seized power in a coup in 1980, five years after Suriname won independence from the Netherlands.
He stepped down under international pressure in 1987, then briefly seized power again in 1991.
In 1999 a Dutch court sentenced him in absentia to 11 years in prison for cocaine trafficking, but the two countries do not have an extradition treaty.
He is also facing a long-delayed trial in Suriname for his alleged role in the murder of political opponents in 1982.

Ireland suffered an early blow when opener Paul Stirling was dismissed for a duck and with just one run on the board.
Thompson and Porterfield steadied the innings before Wilson helped the Irish to a competitive total.
Shahzad and Najeeb Tarakai (27) put on an opening stand of 51 as Afghanistan cruised to their victory target.
Afghan spinner Amir Hamza (2-23) was the only bowler to take more than one wicket on a day when the bat dominated.
"We fell a little bit short of potentially a very big score. We could have added another 15 and gotten up to the 180 we were looking for," said Porterfield.
"As well as we played I thought we just came up short with the ball. We didn't quite execute things as well as we would have liked."
The loss of paceman Boyd Rankin for the T20s, because of a back problem, was another setback for the Irish on Wednesday.

Allegra Stratton's departure follows that of the BBC's economics editor Robert Peston, who was poached by the rival broadcaster last month.
Stratton has been with Newsnight for almost four years. Before that she was The Guardian's political correspondent.
The former BBC producer, who will take up her new role in the new year, said she was "thrilled" to join ITV News.
"It will be a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside such a strong team and I can't wait to get started," he said.
Geoff Hill, the editor of ITV News, said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Allegra will be joining our newsroom.
"She is one of the most talented and knowledgeable journalists in the business, with a long and impressive track record."
Ian Katz, editor of BBC Two's Newsnight, said: "We'll miss her greatly but wish her the very best in her new role."
Stratton's new role will see her reunited with Peston, whose appointment as ITV's new political editor was confirmed in October.
ITV News's Rohit Kachroo will move from UK Editor to the newly created role of Security Editor.

The Pakistani, widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, went five and a half years without losing between 1981 and 1986.
Rod Gilmour, co-author of 'Jahangir Khan: 555', said: "We believe that it could be significantly lower."
However, ex-world number one Jahangir, 52, reckons the tally "could be more".
He added: "The 555 figure should only be my tournament matches. I played invitational, exhibition and challenge matches.
"It could be between 600 to 700 matches if you include the others. Because I wasn't losing those either."
Jahangir won the World Open six times and the British Open Championship 10 times in succession between 1982 and 1991.
Gilmour and Alan Thatcher have researched record books, annuals, magazines and newspaper reports in writing their book.
"I grew up reading reports of Jahangir Khan and even then he seemed a mythical, magical figure to me," said Gilmour.
"There were no statisticians at the time chronicling his matches and not once has the figure been highlighted in press reports of the time."
Jahangir, whose winning run was ended by Ross Norman in the 1986 World Championship, retired in 1993.
The authors do not dispute the timeframe, but Thatcher said they "wanted to solve for accuracy's sake" the final tally.
He added: "The real figure? It's hard to say.
"But it could be lower than 500, which would mean that Dutch wheelchair tennis great Esther Vergeer could lay claim to the record."
Vergeer, who won her fourth consecutive Paralympic singles gold in London in 2012, went unbeaten for 10 years, winning 470 matches before retiring in 2013. | Squash legend Jahangir Khan's winning run of 555 matches - a record in any sport - has been questioned in a new book. | 1.496438 | 1 |
His name was on a list of five candidates in the running to become the party's candidate for the seat of South Basildon and East Thurrock.
But before hustings began at a meeting in Pitsea, Mr Hamilton announced he was withdrawing from the process.
He said he supported another candidate, Kerry Smith, who was later selected.
Mr Smith had been deselected as the party's prospective parliamentary candidate for the same seat in October.
"He should never have been deselected in the first place, in my opinion, and he will make an excellent member of Parliament for Basildon," said Mr Hamilton.
"I would not have put my hat into the ring if I'd known that Kerry was going to be a candidate.
"I didn't know until I got here that his name was included in the ballot paper."
Channel 4 reported seeing a letter from UKIP's finance committee querying expenses claims made by Mr Hamilton.
Mr Hamilton, UKIP's deputy chairman, said his decision to withdraw from the Basildon selection process was nothing to do with expenses, but that it was a UKIP "dirty trick" to stitch him up.
Last month he withdrew from the process to become the party's UKIP's parliamentary candidate for the Boston and Skegness constituency.

The Championship leaders revealed they had spoken to the 34-year-old last week but said any move would depend on them winning promotion back to Super League.
McGuire has spent 15 years with Leeds, helping them to seven Grand Final wins.
"I feel I could have easily stuck around at Leeds and finished my career here but I feel like I've still got a lot to give," he told the club website.
"I'm still playing well, so I'm looking forward to starting afresh and putting a marker down at Hull KR. Hopefully, we can have a good season and create some good times there."
England and Great Britain half-back McGuire is the leading try-scorer in Super League history with 233, and is fourth on the Rhinos' all-time list.
Since making his Leeds debut as a teenager in 2002, McGuire has scored 262 tries in all competitions in more than 400 appearances and in addition to their Grand Final triumphs has also helped them to three World Club Challenge titles and two Challenge Cup wins.
McGuire will team up again with former Leeds team-mate Jamie Peacock, who is now the Robins' head of rugby, at KCOM Craven Park, while he will get the chance to play under World Cup-winning former Australia coach Tim Sheens.
"Danny will really add to our squad for next year," said Sheens. "He's had a few clubs looking at him but I think he liked what he heard about us and the things we spoke about. We've had a good chat about how we see things and we were totally honest regarding our situation for next year, which wasn't an issue for him."

Darco Sangermano, 28, had been taken to hospital in Naples for emergency treatment after being hit by a stray bullet during New Year's Eve celebrations.
The bullet passed behind his right eye and lodged in his nostril, but miraculously did no serious damage.
He is expected to make a full recovery, doctors say.
Mr Sangermano had spent New Year's Eve with his girlfriend in Naples.
As the city sky exploded in a traditional celebration of fireworks, firecrackers - and the occasional high-spirited blast of firearms - he was wandering the streets when a stray .22 calibre bullet struck him on the side of the head, behind his right eye.
Bleeding heavily, he was rushed to hospital.
But while he was waiting for doctors he sneezed - and the bullet popped out of his right nostril.
Doctors say it had been slowed down when it hit his skull - which almost certainly saved his sight, as well as his life.

The breach happened 10 days ago when the council's website service provider, which is based in England, was targeted by hackers.
The City of Edinburgh Council assured those affected no other personal details were accessed.
Officials have warned of a potential increase in spam or phishing emails.
They said the incident had been reported to both the Information Commissioner and the UK Government's Computer Emergency Response Team and that extra security measures had been put in place.
A council spokeswoman said: "This was a malicious cyber attack on the council's website which is hosted in a UK data centre. It was dealt with swiftly and at no point were any council services affected.
"We are contacting everyone who has been affected to inform them of the incident and offer them advice and support. We have reassured individuals that the only details that have been accessed are their email addresses.

Police said they stopped the man on the hard shoulder of the motorway near Watford, at 13:12 GMT on Sunday.
"The M25 is not Hertfordshire's new velodrome," they wrote on Twitter.
The man was reported for illegally cycling on the motorway. One person who read the tweet described the cyclist as a "noodle".
The Highway Code lists bicycles as one of a number of modes of transport prohibited from using motorways.

The force said 300 officers carried out 14 simultaneous warrants in Newport at 05:00 GMT on Tuesday, after three hours of briefings.
Eleven men appeared at Newport Magistrates' Court on Wednesday charged with possessing class A drugs with the intent to supply.
A further six were bailed pending a court date.
Two men were released on police bail ahead of further enquiries, and nine others were being questioned.
Gwent Police is still hoping to speak to two men, Curtis Hooper, 40, and Christopher Mears, 18.
The raid followed information from the community about the supply of drugs.

Essex Police's public financial records also list "a brace of pheasants" and washing-up liquid among donations.
The force said, while it was "flattering", all gifts were recorded and many donated to charities.
It is not known what happened to the cat, but the force confirmed it does not use Chihuahuas in its dog unit.
The records cover gratuities and hospitality gifts given to the force over the past four years.
"We don't encourage it, but neither do we want to cause offence by refusing gifts," a police spokesman said.
While gifts included more than 100 of bottles of wine and numerous boxes of chocolates and bunches of flowers, some of the more bizarre gifts remain a mystery to Steve Taylor, from the Essex Police Federation.
"No-one's ever offered me two Chihuahua harnesses, but what a fantastic gift," he said.
"You'd be completely stumped by a gift like that."
It is not known whether officers were allowed to keep smaller gifts such as a bottle of chilli sauce, an anti-fog cloth for spectacles and fridge magnets from Slovakia.
Nor is it known whether an officer took up the offer of a personalised foot analysis session.
However, Mr Taylor said: "There are very strict rules. We must never accept anything that calls into question our impartiality.
"At the same time we have to balance the need not to be rude. In some cultures it's deeply insulting to return a gift."
The force spokesman added: "We provide clear advice to officers and ensure they know how to correctly record all offers, regardless of whether they are accepted or declined. We also donate items to charity." | A live black and white cat, two Chihuahua harnesses and a feather duster are among the gifts given to a police force by the public. | 1.461193 | 1 |
Radio Beca had planned to broadcast mainly in Welsh to Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and north Pembrokeshire.
But it delayed its proposed launch date in April 2014.
Euros Lewis, from Radio Beca, said it had taken three years for the station to be able to "stand on its own to feet".
Ofcom told Newyddion 9 the station was given two extensions before the decision to withdraw its licence was taken.
Elinor Williams, from Ofcom, said: "We issued the licence in May 2012 and they had two years to come on air from that specific date."
The station has failed to obtain Welsh government grant funding and there was uncertainty about a permanent home for it.
There was also concern Radio Beca had only managed to raise £20,000 when it was required to raise £320,000, although the station has submitted a bid for £100,000 in grant funding from the Big Lottery Fund.
Mr Lewis said: "Unfortunately, it's only during the past few months that Radio Beca has been able to raise money through sponsorship and adverts.
"What's disappointing is that it's only now that we have been able to put forward a prospectus that shows that Radio Beca can stand on its own two feet." | Media regulator Ofcom has revoked a community licence given to a new radio station. | 1.428356 | 1 |

The 23-year-old received a five-year ban from all cricket and served three months in prison.
He has been selected to tour New Zealand this month for three Twenty20 and three one-day internationals.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board said it is dependent on him receiving a visa from the New Zealand government.
Amir was one of three Pakistan players jailed in November 2011 for his part in a conspiracy to bowl deliberate no-balls against England the previous year, when he was only 18.
He was released from Portland Prison in Dorset in February 2012 after serving half of a six-month sentence.
His suspension originally covered all forms of the game but in January last year he was cleared to play domestic cricket in Pakistan.
Amir was selected for a Pakistan training session last month, which Pakistan one-day captain Azhar Ali and former skipper Mohammad Hafeez refused to join in protest at his inclusion.
Ali and Hafeez later reversed their decision and the PCB said Ali would remain as one-day captain after they rejected his offer to resign over Amir's presence. | Fast bowler Mohammad Amir has been named in the Pakistan squad for the first time since his conviction for spot fixing in the Lord's Test in 2010. | 0.946842 | 1 |
The wing section, known as a flaperon, had been examined in France by international aviation experts.
French authorities launched searches on and around Reunion for more debris but none was found.
The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off its course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
The Malaysian government had previously said it believed that the flaperon belonged to MH370.
French investigators had until now been more cautious on the provenance of the debris.
But on Thursday they said a technician from Airbus Defense and Space (ADS-SAU) in Spain, which had made the part for Boeing, had formally identified one of three numbers found on the flaperon as being the same as the serial number on MH370.
The magistrate charged with conducting the investigation and an aviation expert had gone to ADS-SAU headquarters on Thursday.
The families of those aboard - who were mostly Chinese - have been angered by the apparent discrepancies in statements by French and Malaysian officials, and have accused the authorities of hiding the truth.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has been co-ordinating the deep-sea search in the southern Indian Ocean, where the plane is believed to have gone down, thousands of miles east of Reunion.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said that the search would continue as "we owe it to the hundreds of millions of people who use our skies".

Ecila Henderson chased 69-year-old Rosemary Armstrong from her flat in Pokesdown, Bournemouth, in August 2010 and stabbed her 22 times.
Ms Henderson, now 45, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and is detained in a mental health unit.
An inquiry later criticised the care she received from her health trust.
Ms Henderson had been under the care of Southbourne Community Mental Health Team, part of Dorset Healthcare University Foundation Trust.
One of the core criticisms of the trust was its failure to act quickly when a health worker reported Ms Henderson's condition had deteriorated significantly. The trust admitted liability for negligence.
Ms Henderson is seeking damages for the psychiatric harm suffered because of the killing and her loss of liberty.
The case, being heard in the High Court, must decide whether the claim contravenes the law which prohibits a person from recovering damages for the consequences of their own illegality.
Ms Henderson's counsel, Nicholas Bowen QC, said his client had an acute sense of loss which went beyond feelings stemming from ordinary bereavement and any efforts to address the grief was likely to cause further deterioration in her condition. | A woman with paranoid schizophrenia who killed her mother is suing a health authority for more than £300,000. | 1.306169 | 1 |
Forest are above the Championship relegation zone on goal difference heading into their final game.
Former Rangers manager Warburton arrived at the City Ground on a two-and-a-half-year contract in March.
"You can't go to a group of players and say 'be committed' and not commit yourself," Warburton said.
The 54-year-old said he was in "utter disbelief" when he read media reports about his position at Forest being in doubt if the club was relegated to the third tier.
When asked by BBC Radio Nottingham if he would be at the City Ground next season, Warburton replied: "Absolutely 100%."
Forest's on field struggles this season have been compounded by uncertainty off the pitch, with two takeovers failing to come to fruition this season, while owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi is again in the advanced stages of trying to sell to Evangelos Marinakis - the owner of Greek champions Olympiakos.
Blackburn will survive if they better Nottingham Forest's result, which would send Forest down.

Christopher Carter, 51, of Caerphilly, Wales; David Taylor, 28, of Stoke-on-Trent; and Daniel Saville, 40, of Bradford, died in the crash near Kabul in 2010.
Accidental death verdicts were recorded for all three.
Bradford coroner Neil Cameron said each of the men suffered multiple injuries.
The inquest heard that crew on the plane contacted air traffic control to ask for permission to descend shortly before the crash.
The air traffic controller asked the crew to maintain their current altitude but the plane began its descent in bad weather into a mountainous area about 12 miles (19km) from Kabul.
The coroner said the air traffic controller could have warned the crew they were descending too quickly and "into danger".
Mr Cameron said an early ground proximity warning system was misunderstood by the crew, either due to language or because of previous false alerts.
The families of the three men attended the inquest, which was held at Bradford Crown Court.
Jim Morris, a barrister representing the families, applied to the coroner to adjourn the inquest to allow evidence from the air traffic controller to be made available, but Mr Cameron declined to adjourn.
The families said they were "disappointed" and "angry" that the coroner would not adjourn the inquest.
Kim Taylor, Mr Taylor's mother, said: "We are angry that the coroner would not adjourn the inquest for the evidence of the air traffic controller.
"We cannot fully come to terms with losing David."
Chioma Ibe, Mr Saville's partner, said: "We are disappointed that five years on we have no closure, no answers and no apology.
"I feel let down by the coroner who did not assist in including important evidence."
Mr Morris, who is a partner in at a legal firm's aviation law team and a former RAF pilot, said the families would continue their search for answers. | Three men died in a plane crash in Afghanistan after misunderstandings between air traffic control and the aircraft's crew, an inquest has heard. | 1.153694 | 1 |
Jeffrey Okafor, 24, is accused of murdering Carl Beatson Asiedu outside a nightclub in Vauxhall in 2009.
The prosecution said three people were targeted in the attack and Mr Beatson Asiedu, who appeared in the CBBC series M.I. High, "wasn't so fortunate".
Mr Okafor of East Dulwich, south east London, denies murder.
Sarah Whitehouse QC, prosecuting, told Woolwich Crown Court the stabbing took place after a crowd of people left Club Life near Vauxhall station.
The prosecution said Mr Okafor was part of a larger group who attacked a smaller group on 1 August 2009.
Two of the three people attacked survived, but Ms Whitehouse said: "Carl Beatson wasn't so fortunate."
As well as appearing in the CBBC show, Mr Beatson Asiedu also helped to form a music group called Kidnplay and was known as Charmz.
He was often booked to play at nightclubs in London and Leicester and had performed with his friend at the club on the night of his murder.
A post-mortem examination concluded the cause of Mr Beatson Asiedu's death was a single stab wound to the front of the chest.
"After the attack, Jeffrey Okafor actually confessed to a girlfriend that he had stabbed Carl Beatson," Ms Whitehouse said.
Mr Okafor confessed in a phone call within an hour of the attack and days later he told the same woman that he had stabbed Charmz in the stomach and gave her a pair of black gloves to look after, the prosecution said.
Ms Whitehouse said those gloves were passed to police and DNA which may have come from the victim was found on one of the gloves.
At the time Mr Okafor also seemed agitated saying: "The Feds are going to be on to me", the jury heard.
Police arrived at the defendant's address on 13 August to arrest Mr Okafor, but he had fled, the court heard.
The prosecution said four days later he boarded a flight from Heathrow Airport to Lagos using his brother's passport.
He was extradited from Nigeria in November 2014.

Australian Robertson, 34, had won the first two frames of the best-of-17 final and extended his lead to 5-2 during the first session in Cardiff.
But O'Sullivan, 40, won the next seven frames, sealing victory with a break of 141 to move level with John Higgins on four Welsh Open titles.
"I feel shattered, I need a month of just relaxing," said the Englishman.
O'Sullivan caused controversy earlier in the week when he turned down the opportunity of a 147 break, making 146 instead.
He also spoke about his boredom at tournaments.
But he said he had enjoyed a "fantastic week" and would now be resting before the World Championships in April.
"That is the one that everyone wants," he told BBC Sport.
"I am not eligible for any other tournaments as I did not qualify, so my cue will be chilling out for a month or so."
The 2007 champion Robertson, who was described by O'Sullivan as "the best player in the world", pinpointed the ninth frame as the key moment.
"Once he got his tail up and the momentum it was hard to wrestle it back from him," said the world number three.
"Everyone knows he is a terrific front runner and he pulled away and finished the match off in style. I made mistakes and that is what happens when you are put under pressure."

Ten-month-old Aramis collapsed "twitching and unable to stand" after he was found chewing on a packet believed to contain a substance designed to imitate a Class-A drug.
The incident occurred on Kinnaber Beach, Angus.
Within 30 minutes of ingesting it Aramis was described as "spaced out."
Like in humans, "legal highs" can cause dangerously high heart rate and temperature rises in dogs.
Experts at animal rescue charity the Scottish SPCA said they had never heard of a previous case.
Aramis's owners rushed him to the Robson Veterinary Hospital in Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire, where he was detained overnight and given intravenous fluids.
Vet Ian Anderson said it was the first time he had seen a dog consume a new psychoactive substance (NPS), which will be banned under draft UK-wide legislation.
Mr Anderson, 51, said Aramis suffered "no long-term damage or effects".
He said: "He was spaced out - he wasn't able to sit down or stand up.
"He was twisting and turning and his heart rate was very fast.
"Quite a lot of the time we get dogs who eat things they shouldn't, but this is the first time I have ever seen a dog eat a legal high."
He added: "Fortunately, our client's fast action to get him medical attention meant we were able to treat Aramis effectively and he is now recovering at home but the experience was extremely traumatic both for Aramis and his owners who spent a sleepless night worrying he would never come home."
A spokesman for the Robson Veterinary Hospital added that there had also been reports that another dog owner had come across needles while walking their pet on the coast at nearby Inverbervie, also in Kincardineshire.
Scottish SPCA Ch Supt Mike Flynn said: "This is not an issue we have come across before and we are glad this dog was not seriously harmed."
In June last year, a police investigation was sparked when potentially lethal blue poison was found on the coastline nearby.

It was Ormerod's second World Cup podium of the season and Morgan's first.
Ormerod put down solid runs in the final but was beaten into second place by Austria's Anna Gasser, who has won all three World Cups so far.
Morgan claimed a bronze medal and a third top 10 finish this season.
Ormerod she took bronze at the Olympic test event in South Korea last week, and she said she was "extremely happy" with her performance in Germany.
"It's so awesome that two Brits were on the podium at this event with Billy grabbing third place in the men's event as well," she said
Morgan agreed with his compatriot, saying it was "epic" to win a medal alongside Ormerod.
"I had an epic day riding, it was a lot of fun and getting a podium is the icing on the cake," he said.
With only six women and 10 men reaching the final, Aimee Fuller missed out after coming ninth in qualifying, while Rowan Coultas was 12th and Jamie Nicholls was 20th.

Samantha Baldwin, 42, from Newark, has not been seen since Monday and is believed to be with Louis Madge, 9, and Dylan Madge, 6.
Police say they are treating the case as an abduction.
In a statement, Nottingham Family Court said Ms Baldwin was "considered to pose a risk of harm" to the boys.
It said the children had been removed from her care at a hearing on Monday and had been made wards of court in light of the disappearance.
CCTV images from the same day as the hearing showed Ms Baldwin alone at two locations in Nottingham city centre.
Police have urged B&B operators, hotel owners and those in charge of other holiday properties to be on the lookout for the trio.
Supt Rich Fretwell from Nottinghamshire Police said Ms Baldwin may have altered her appearance.
"Our investigation team are exploring a number of lines of enquiry. There's always the possibility that Samantha could be being harboured by someone," supt Fretwell said.
"We would urge that person to come forward and let us know where the boys are.
"We would also like to appeal to anyone who owns or runs a guest house, B&B or hotel to check your registers and be mindful that the group may be staying under a different name.
"We would also ask caravan park operators and holiday let properties to think about any groups that have joined them since Monday.
"We cannot stress enough the likelihood that Samantha may have changed her appearance and we would like you to keep an open mind."

The 19-year-old made his Championship debut against Hampshire in May and scored his first half-century against Warwickshire in his next match.
"It is really pleasing to get asked to sign a long-term contract. I'm absolutely thrilled," said Clarke.
"I see Worcestershire as a good place to develop my career," said the Shropshire-born wicketkeeper/batsman.
Clarke, from Trefonen, learned his formative cricket with his native county before graduating from the Worcestershire academy.
He has blossomed since being given his first-team chance, hitting three more half-centuries - against Hampshire, champions Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.
He also struck an unbeaten 131 - his maiden century - against Gloucestershire in the One-Day Cup in August.
"I feel, as a youngster, there are a lot of opportunities at Worcestershire to play first-team cricket," added Clarke.
"It is a massive opportunity in these next three years for me to push myself and become a first-team regular, do well and push for international honours in the future."
Although he is concentrating on his batting at the moment, with Ben Cox the first-choice wicket-keeper, Clarke says having former England keeper Steve Rhodes as the county's director of cricket is helping him to develop his skills behind the stumps.
"He's been really assuring and made it a lot easier for me to have no hesitation in signing," said Clarke. "He has helped a lot with my keeping and is good to speak to about my batting as well. I see him really improving my cricket in the years to come." | Worcestershire's England Under-19 international Joe Clarke has signed a new three-year contract at New Road. | 1.012486 | 1 |
