They had until the end of November to submit an environmental report.
But now they have asked for an extra 11 months to supply it.
If the order was to be granted it would extend the appeals process.
The firms can continue extracting sand while the outcome is being decided.
The companies were ordered to stop taking sand from the bed of the lough in May.
The Department of the Environment (DoE) issued an enforcement notice because the work did not have planning permission.
About 1.7m tonnes a year are taken out using barges.
Environmentalists have said the extraction could affect bird habitats on the lough, which is an internationally recognised sanctuary with EU protection.
Solicitors for the sand companies said they have been unable to find out exactly what information the DoE wants in the environmental report.
They also said that bird surveys and food availability checks should be done over a full season, which includes next summer.
Green Party leader Steven Agnew is opposing an extension of the deadline and said sand traders had "known for many years that their activities need to be regularised".
"Little progress has been made in stopping unauthorised sand dredging on Lough Neagh to date and any further delay is unacceptable," he added.
The Planning Appeals Commission will decide whether to grant an extension.
It is expected to do so by late-October.
The extraction of sand from the lough has proven to be hugely controversial.
Earlier this month the environmental group Friends of the Earth said it was taking the DoE to court over Environment Minister Mark H Durkan's refusal to issue stop notices to the sand traders.
Unlike an enforcement notice, a stop notice cannot be appealed and can only be challenged in the courts.
The consumer gadget and computer maker has now surpassed Microsoft's record of $620.58bn set in 1999. However, that figure is not adjusted for inflation.

Apple shares hit $664.74 in New York midday trading, and closed at $665.15.
That was $17, or 2.6%, higher than Friday's close.
There is also speculation that Apple plans to make a TV set.
However, despite its market valuation, Apple, like many US companies, faces a number of challenges.
The strength of the US dollar against the euro and other currencies makes US-made goods more expensive overseas.Added to that, the faltering economic recovery in the United States, combined with recession in major markets such as Europe, is also making it more difficult to sell consumer electronics.

Sixth seed Nishikori won 1-6 6-4 4-6 6-1 7-5 to inflict an earliest Grand Slam defeat of the season on Murray.
The Scot, 29, finished runner-up at the Australian and French Opens before winning Wimbledon and Olympic gold.
"I tried my best. I fought as hard as I could with what I had today," said the world number two.
"I pushed myself as hard as I could over the last few months and I'm very proud of how I've done."
The defeat was only the second in 28 matches for Murray, who had reached the final of his previous seven tournaments, stretching back to the Madrid Open in May.
That run brought him his first Italian Open, fifth Queen's Club, second Wimbledon and second Olympic titles.
"If someone had offered me the summer that I have had before Wimbledon, I probably would have signed for that," said Murray.
"After a few days away, I would imagine I'd be very happy with how I've done and learn from this match and the summer as a whole, because it's been tough.
"I'm happy how it's gone. There's just a few things I could do differently next time."
Murray let a two-sets-to-one lead slip against Nishikori and became embroiled in an argument with the umpire and tournament referee after play was halted when the stadium sound system emitted a loud noise, with the Scot holding break point.
"They stopped the point and I was just curious why that was and that was it," said Murray, who went on to lose seven games in a row.
"Did it affect me? Definitely I would say to 4-1.
"I didn't play a good game after I got out of the change of ends and then he held pretty comfortably the next game. But after that I don't think so."
Murray's form dipped after an impressive first set, with conditions changing when rain prompted the roof to be closed in the second set.
The roof remained shut despite the weather improving at Flushing Meadows.
"We were told at the beginning of the event and also today that if the forecast's good they will open the roof during the match if that's the case," said Murray.
"Why that didn't happen today I don't know. It's not really for me to say."
Murray will next head to Glasgow for Britain's Davis Cup semi-final against Argentina, which begins on 16 September.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller:
"Early in the fourth set, with Murray leading by two sets to one and a break point up - and in control of the rally - a let was called as a sound like a gong was heard under the closed roof. Murray allowed himself to be distracted for too long as Nishikori ran away with the set to take the match the distance.
"A hugely successful summer started to take its toll on Murray here in New York. But having already won Wimbledon and Olympic gold, this may be a disappointment that is not that hard to swallow."

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | After about six years of courtship, the political marriage between Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto has finally been solemnised and consummated.
The couple now has a healthy, bouncing baby known as Jubilee.
It was born on Saturday, weighing an incredible 12kg (the number of political parties that merged to create Jubilee).
In Mr Kenyatta's Kikuyu culture, the birth of a baby boy is welcomed with five loud ululations by the women present.
Some of Kenya's leading gospel and secular artistes and comedians were on hand to raise the decibel metre, as they led the crowds of thousands in celebrating the birth.
And in Mr Ruto's Kalenjin customs, a baby boy is sprinkled with traditional beer by the elders as a sign of blessing.
The Jubilee launch did not spare a coin in its sprinkle.
The well-fed boy was floating on the millions of shillings spent on the lavish ceremony; from high-end vehicles with comprehensive branding, to extensive catering for the masses and cash allowances for the thousands of delegates who attended.
But now the hard work begins - to ensure baby Jubilee lives up to expectation and delivers political victory for its parents.
Prior to Saturday, Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto were living in what Kenyans call a "come-we-stay" relationship - an unofficial marriage that has not been endorsed by the parents.
The pair came together informally in early 2011 when the rival communities they represent decided to bury their differences, which were at their most destructive when hundreds of people died and thousands others were displaced following the disputed elections of 2007.
The two men went on joint rallies across the country to preach peace and heal the bitter rift between their two communities.
The rallies then took on an urgent stride as both men faced charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The cases were later dropped.
Mr Kenyatta's political parent is The National Alliance (TNA), which he used to secure the presidency in 2013, while Mr Ruto became his deputy running under his own United Republican Party (URP).
TNA and URP are now dead and Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto are one - assuming the roles of Jubilee party leader and deputy respectively.
Now Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto have to attend to the duties every parent faces - ensuring baby Jubilee is vaccinated against all forms of political threats and gets a good education to attain the grades needed to secure victory in the 2017 election.
On the face it, Jubilee appears to be a platform to simply retain power in a convincing win next year.
To do this Jubilee needed to have more national outlook beyond its mainly Kikuyu and Kalenjin core support.
And so Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto have been on a sustained charm offensive to parts of the country and communities that tend to support the opposition such as the Coastal region.
Joseph Warungu:
"The new party is really about one man and one issue: William Ruto and the 2022 general election."
The harvest was plentiful.
Twelve parties folded up, gave up their identity and turned red - the colour of Jubilee.
More than 40 opposition legislators suddenly found reason to reject the parties that sent them to parliament or the Senate and decided that east or west Jubilee was best.
The Jubilee party is now confident that it is ready to take on the opposition in next year's election.
They are so confident that in his party launch address, President Kenyatta told the main opposition Cord coalition, led by Raila Odinga, that they should "get their act together so that we can face one another in a peaceful manner [during the election]".
Cord is yet to name its presidential candidate.
But at a deeper level the new party is really about one man and one issue: William Ruto and the 2022 general election.
He, more than President Kenyatta, will need this new platform the most.
Many observers argue that although the real brutal and unpredictable competition will be at the local county level, at national level President Kenyatta himself is in a strong position to win re-election in 2017 for several reasons.
His Jubilee party has very deep pockets and continues to command wide support from the Kikuyu and Kalenjin - the two communities that have been the only ones to occupy the presidency since the country's independence in 1963.
Jubilee is in government and that comes with its advantages.
Jubilee has also made some inroads into parts of the opposition territory to woo other communities, and is working round the clock to try and deliver some of the commitments it made in its 2013 election manifesto.
But most importantly, the opposition has not taken political advantage of some of Jubilee's failures including its poor record in fighting corruption, weak rule of law and the continued growth of nepotism and tribalism in public appointments.
Mr Kenyatta has one more thing going for him - very few African incumbents lose elections. When they do, it's out of carelessness or empty pockets.
So Mr Ruto is looking beyond 2017 to the 2022 election, when he is meant to replace Mr Kenyatta as the Jubilee presidential candidate.
He needs the new binding Jubilee platform because he cannot fully trust his Kikuyu political "in-laws" to back him the way he's backed them up to now.
In the recent past there were prominent Kikuyu politicians who openly said Mr Ruto should not count on automatic Kikuyu support when his turn comes.
Secondly Kenyan politicians can be restless grasshoppers - jumping from party to party depending on where the grass is greenest.
The new Jubilee platform and a new law that prevents such party political hopping means those inside Jubilee will be locked in.
Thirdly, Mr Ruto is a bold politician who has a single focus on the big picture ahead.
His fearless march tends to leave bruised souls who would jump at any opportunity to oppose him.
His planning therefore is meticulous and does not leave things to chance.
In addition to the Jubilee platform, there is widespread talk in Kenya that he has placed his allies in key public institutions.
So with the birth of baby Jubilee, Mr Ruto and Mr Kenyatta are now in the business of changing diapers and buying lots of toys for the baby to ensure they themselves don't see red at the next election.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Research by the CIPD found a jump in the number of firms planning to hire more apprentices and school-leavers.
A survey of more than 1,000 companies found that half were taking measures to boost the skills of their workforce in response to recruitment difficulties.
A third were looking to take on more apprentices, the survey indicated.
Gerwyn Davies, labour market analyst for the CIPD, told Today: "The underlying factor is that the jobs market is very strong, that's forcing more employers to look at a wider range of applicants."
He added that young people had fared worse than other age groups over the past decade, so there was an element of catch-up, but also that employers wanted to address their future skills needs.
In a statement, he said: "After a long, dark decade, the prospects for young people are finally looking brighter." | Job prospects for young people are improving as firms try to fill skills gaps, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development suggests. |
Summarize the passage below. | Wednesday night's episode saw Nathan Curtis imply he would soon be making his much younger girlfriend Bethany Platt available to his friends for sex.
Ofcom confirmed it had received one complaint about the storyline.
But children's charity Barnardo's praised the soap for "shining a light on this serious but little discussed issue".
Nathan and Bethany: The story so far
Viewers have been watching the relationship between 35-year-old Nathan and 17-year-old Bethany develop over recent weeks.
Nathan has bought her alcohol and gifts including a mobile phone and Bethany has introduced him to her mother and partner, who were shocked to discover their age gap.
On Wednesday, Nathan was seen taking Bethany to a party at his flat where he introduced her to his male friends.
One of them said he would "like to see a bit more" of Bethany but Nathan replied: "I told you mate, it's not the right time."
Nathan tells his friend he would be "the first to know" when Bethany was "ready".
A spokesman for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) told the BBC: "Soaps play an important part in highlighting abuse and in giving victims the courage to speak out.
"We hope it will raise awareness of the signs of grooming and encourage more victims to come forward and seek help."
The NSPCC has been working with Coronation Street producers on the storyline and had put the show's writers in touch with a survivor of child grooming.
"We are very grateful to the bravery of Lucie, a victim of child sexual exploitation, who shared her experiences with the writers and actors involved as part of their research for this sensitive storyline," the spokesman said.
After Wednesday evening's episode aired, some viewers took to social media to express their discomfort about the scenes.
Laura tweeted: "That storyline with the blonde on Coronation Street is grim. No need for that before 8pm on a weekday."
Beth said the storyline "literally makes me feel sick," while Lauren added the scenes made her "uncomfortable".
Javed Khan, chief executive of Barnardo's, acknowledged some viewers would be uneasy but said it would raise awareness about the issue.
"This storyline makes for difficult watching but it's important as many people as possible are aware of the signs of grooming, so we can prevent this abuse happening," he said.
"Like Bethany's character, the young victims of this crime mistakenly think these child sex abusers care for them because they're often showered with presents and attention."
Coronation Street producer Kate Oates told the BBC: "Bethany's story has been crafted over many months, to create an awareness for viewers about the dangers of grooming.
"Bethany's story is a challenging watch, but we hope it will encourage open discussion amongst friends and families about self-esteem, confidence and most importantly, safety."
Last month, Fallon told Lorraine Kelly the scenes had been "uncomfortable" to film.
But, she added: "It's so important for it to be on, especially at this time, because we're targeting young viewers watching before watershed - it's so important to target those people."

Summarize the following piece. | Sudan is hosting Mr Machar on "purely humanitarian grounds", it said.
Mr Machar has not been seen in public since July's clashes between his supporters and those of President Salva Kiir which killed some 300 people.
South Sudan has suffered more than two years of civil war, since gaining independence from Sudan in 2011.
Riek Machar's condition was now "stable" and he would "stay in Khartoum under full medical supervision until he leaves... for a destination of his choice," the Sudan News Agency (Suna) said.
Analysis: Mohanad Hashim, BBC News
The governments of both Sudan and South Sudan have accused each other of backing rebels in a bid to destabilise their countries.
Mr Machar's presence in Khartoum will give Sudan influence. It is likely to try and present itself as a mediator in the conflict, although many South Sudanese will be suspicious of its intentions.
Taban Deng Gai, Mr Machar's successor as vice-president, has also been in Khartoum this week.
He is likely to have sought assurances that Sudan is not planning on siding with Mr Machar, as well as requesting help to overcome his country's economic crisis.
Mr Machar demanded a neutral force be deployed in July to keep peace and guarantee his safety after his bodyguards and President Kiir's presidential guards fought each other, sparking days of violence.
Political differences between Mr Machar and Mr Kiir ignited the civil war in December 2013 - and they only agreed to settle their differences under intense international pressure, signing a peace deal last August.
Mr Machar returned to Juba in April to take up the post of vice-president, but President Kiir dismissed him in the wake of the latest violence.
More on South Sudan's crisis:
This month, the UN authorised a 4,000-strong African protection force for Juba with a more robust mandate than the 12,000 UN soldiers already in the country.
But South Sudan's government said it opposed the deployment and it is not clear how the mission can go ahead without its co-operation.

The Wales skipper left after eight seasons with the club to join Everton for a fee approaching £12 million.
Francesco Guidolin's side kept a clean sheet in his absence as they won their Premier League opener 1-0 at Burnley.
"Ash was such a massive part of this club and was the captain," Cork told BBC Wales Sport. "We're trying to move on now."
Swansea are seeking to replace Williams, who was signed following the sale of John Stones, now the world's second most expensive defender.
Last season's top scorer Andre Ayew also left the Liberty Stadium in a £20.5 million switch to West Ham United along with strikers Eder, Alberto Paloschi and Bafetimbi Gomis.
Spanish striker Fernando Llorente and his compatriot, record signing Borja, have arrived to bolster the attack along with midfielder Leroy Fer, who scored the winner at Turf Moor.
Cork admits preparations for the new campaign have been difficult in the absence of Williams, who was given extra time off after helping Wales to the semi final of Euro 2016.
"It's been tough. Ash was amazing - he was amazing with me since I came to the club," Cork said.
"I was close to him and my family was close to him.
"It's been a strange six weeks, really without him in pre-season and especially in the first game.
"When that goes it leaves a big void and everyone needs to step up and help each other and all of us try to be leaders because he was a big leader."

President Rousseff believes the footage is not suitable for youngsters.
The education packs contain gay and lesbian video scenes and are supposed to combat homophobia.
However, evangelical church groups and their allies in Congress threatened to block any upcoming legislation unless President Rousseff halted the films.

The council inspector said she had to rush home and shower straight afterwards.
Perth and Kinross Council is seeking to recover the property from Ms McVie.
Council inspector Lynne Selbie told a civil hearing at Perth Sheriff Court she had worked in housing and gone into properties for about 20 years.
Ms Selbie said: "I honestly have to say that in my opinion that is the worst I have ever seen.
"It was uninhabitable. It was a clear health hazard. It was sad that somebody was living in those conditions."
Ms Selbie told the court that, as an animal lover, she found the experience "really traumatic."
She said: "I went into the property and discovered there was a huge amount of cats - more than we had thought.
"They were quite feral. It was quite alarming for me because I had never seen so many cats. There were babies (kittens), and a cat having kittens.
"We went upstairs. There was lots and lots of clutter, bags and cardboard boxes. The bathroom and toilet were really dirty and I retched and ran outside."
Ms Selbie told the court that the carpets were soggy underfoot and the cats were so frightened and distressed they were jumping over banisters and up the wall.
She said: "The cats had been scratching up the walls. My opinion was that the damage to the property was significant.
"She had stated she only had one dog and one cat but then openly admitted at a later date that she had been hiding them."

The decision could "jeopardize the functioning of the judiciary and law enforcement in BiH [Bosnia-Herzegovina]", the EU warned.
The Bosnian Serb move follows raids by officers investigating war crimes.
Most Bosnian Serbs live in one of two entities set up by the Dayton agreement that ended the 1992-1995 Bosnian war.
Tensions have been rising for several months after lawmakers in the Bosnian Serb Republic, or Republika Srpska, voted to hold a referendum on the authority of Bosnia's national court in their entity.
Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik, who proposed the referendum, said the country's prosecutors had been more lenient towards "the few Bosniaks" charged with war crimes compared with Serbs.
On Thursday Bosnian Serb Interior Minister Dragan Lukac decried raids by state investigators looking for Bosnian Serb suspects in the town of Novi Grad as "inappropriate and provocative".
Supporting the move to suspend law-enforcement co-operation, Mr Dodik said the operation constituted an attack "that could even have provoked armed conflict".
But in a statement, the EU called on authorities in Bosnia-Herzegovina to "maintain mutual co-operation and dialogue".
It underlined "the need to respect the rule of law throughout the whole territory of the country".
Bosnia became an independent state after the war, but half its population - around two million people - had been displaced, and its infrastructure and economy was left in tatters.
Its political set-up is complicated, with the two regions having their own governments, parliament, police and other bodies - linked to a central Bosnian government and rotating presidency.

He said she had been refused bail, so could spend five months in the prison near Lisbon waiting for her trial, which starts on 22 September.
Monmouth MP David Davies has asked UK officials to look into the case.
Roger Grey, the woman's father, said: "Five months in prison is long time for a minor crime."
He said he found his daughter accommodation in Portugal but as there was not a family member living there, police feared she could abscond.
"Despite her situation she is coping quite well, but we are all very concerned about her," he added.
Mr Davies said: "In the UK this sort of crime wouldn't have been dealt with like this, one of the charges appears to be for shouting at an officer, so I am concerned.
"I have made my concerns known to the Portuguese ambassador and [Foreign Secretary] Boris Johnson and his office are looking into this."

The prosecutor, Harald Range, had earlier accused the minister, Heiko Maas, of interfering in the inquiry.
Prosecutors are investigating whether Netzpolitik.org revealed state secrets in articles about plans to step up state surveillance.
The case sparked street protests over press freedom.
The outcry put the government on the back foot, with senior officials stressing that Germany was committed to press freedom.
Earlier on Tuesday, in a rare clash between the German judiciary and the state, Mr Range said the government had asked him to drop an independent investigator from the inquiry, who concluded that one of the articles published did amount to a disclosure of a state secret.
The request, said Mr Range, amounted to "an intolerable encroachment on the independence of the judiciary".
He said that while the freedom of press was valuable it was not "limitless".

Summarize this article briefly. | The South Wales Evening Post website has been scrapped, with its journalists now publishing on Wales Online.
But the Evening Post's editor said the change would offer a "much-improved" experience for audiences and advertisers.
Both brands are owned by the publisher Trinity Mirror.
The media group operates many of Wales' newspapers and their websites.
Llanelli AM Mr Waters sits on the assembly's culture committee, which will investigate the news industry later this year.
"I think there's a real danger that we are trashing well-established, trusted brands," he said.
"The Evening Post has spent generations building up credibility. I am a former Evening Post newspaper boy and people trust what they read.
"There is a real danger, in trying to shift this into a different setting which is a Wales Online site, that they will lose audiences and they will lose credibility with those audiences, all in search of clicks."
Stories generated by the South Wales Evening Post news team will now appear on the Wales Online website, while the Post's social media presence has been re-branded Swansea Online.
The Evening Post newspaper is not affected by the changes.
Editor Jonathan Roberts said the online merger would be better for its audiences.
"The South Wales Evening Post news team is now going to join with our colleagues at Wales Online and will become one editorial team serving the whole of Wales.
"The Swansea site will now merge into Wales Online, which is a bigger and better website and will provide a much-improved user experience for our audience. So we are pretty excited about it."
Mr Waters sits on the assembly's culture committee, which will investigate the print and digital news industry later this year.
He said: "I think it's right that politicians do get involved, because this is ultimately about accountability and power. But we also need to recognise that we don't have any easy answers to this."
What the Evening Post are doing was "understandable", he said, but added he was concerned about the "quality" of the news and journalism.
But Mr Roberts said Wales Online's "phenomenal growth" meant audiences in south west Wales would be better served by the changes.
"I think if you look at Wales Online, it is a success story in its own right. Its growth over the last decade has been phenomenal, really.
"What you have is a digital brand for a digital audience. Its print products that are produced in Cardiff - the Western Mail, the South Wales Echo, the Wales on Sunday - those brands continue to retain a strong profile within the industry, within the country and within the minds of readers. So no, I don't see any dilution of the brand necessarily.
"It's a digital brand for a modern-day audience."
Trinity Mirror said the merger decision was designed to create a "thriving digital Welsh news brand" and "will have no negative impact on any of our print titles".
A spokesman for the media company said it would protect the quality of its journalism and added: "The regular audience figures we have for Wales Online shows that this is a trusted brand, and people are going there time and time again because it is a reputable source for news in Wales.
"We are investing heavily in journalism in Wales and the transition of the site into Wales Online will free up more resources for capturing the stories that matter to people.
"There's going to be an increase in our coverage of the region, not less." | The merger of two of Wales' commercial news websites risks "trashing" well-established brands, according to Labour assembly member Lee Waters. |

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | In a game of few clear-cut chances, Charlie Walker scored the winner shortly after half-time when his left-footed strike beat keeper Dean Snedker.
Walker twice had further goals ruled out, first for a foul by team-mate Alfie Pavey and then after the 25-year-old striker was caught offside.
But Harriers were unable to avoid slipping to a seventh successive loss.
The visitors, making only their second appearance of 2016 after a succession of postponements, had new signing Evan Garnett making his debut as a 73rd-minute substitute following his arrival from Evo-stik Southern Division side Belper Town
Harriers, still under the control of chief executive Colin Gordon, are now six points adrift at the foot of the table, 16 points from safety, while Aldershot move up a place to 13th.
Aldershot Town boss Barry Smith told BBC Surrey:

"We are pleased with the result. When you are not playing well and the other team are dominating for certain spells, you have to grind out results like that.
"We've played in games when we've been the better team and not get results. Today we didn't play as well and got three points.
"We dropped our standards in the first half and we didn't organise the way we should have. We sorted it out at half-time and the players reacted in the right way but getting that early goal.
"Charlie Walker has scored 11 goals this season. His work-rate is great for the team and he deserved that goal on his performance."

But now, with the 5,000-1 outsiders crowned with two games to spare, bookies have turned their attention to Lineker's pants - and they reckon they'll be blue.
The former England striker and Match of the Day presenter tweeted in December that he'd present the programme in his underwear if the Foxes won the Premier League.
But speaking to the Radio Times at the weekend he admitted he had thought he'd be safe: "When I sent the tweet in December I categorically knew there was zero chance that they would win."
As the 2015-16 season unfolded, Leicester fans became aware that something special was happening. And Gary still seemed to be keen to get his kit off, as he tweeted in March:
And when Spurs drew 2-2 with Chelsea on Monday night, Leicester knew the title was theirs - and that all eyes would be on Gary's undies.
Not too much of a surprise, then, if some people want to hold him to his word.
Twitter users made some suggestions as to what Gary should wear.
Comedian, writer and football fan Matt Lucas suggested a rather cheeky pair of pants, while others were a bit more generous with the material.
In a recent interview with the Independent, Lineker denied ever promising to do the entirety of the programme in his briefs. "I certainly never said anywhere in that tweet that I would do the whole show," he said.
So will the presenter keep his word? We'll have to wait for the start of the new season to see, but we have asked the question...

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | For some, the memories of the France '98 World Cup remain vivid.
But there is now a generation of Scotland fans who fear they may never see their team appear on one of international football's greatest stages.
One of the contributing factors has been the steady decline in the production of young Scottish talent. There was a time when Scotland's kids could not just mix it with the top countries, but beat them.
It was 35 years ago that Scotland won the Uefa European Under-18 Championship, the country's only piece of major international silverware at any level.
"Scotland at that stage were always quite competitive in the under-age national teams," said Andy Roxburgh, who coached the side at the tournament in Finland in 1982, with Walter Smith as his assistant.
"I don't think we went there thinking, 'we're going to win the trophy'. This was to expose the players to international competition."
Roxburgh may not have had ideas of lifting the trophy, but despite being without Aberdeen's Neale Cooper and Eric Black, the likes of Gary Mackay, Dave Bowman, Paul McStay and Pat Nevin ensured the squad was not short on quality.
"I said I couldn't go because my finals [exams] were at roughly the same time," said Nevin, who was playing for Craig Brown's Clyde at the time.
"Then we worked out that if we got to the final - which we probably wouldn't - my first exam was the next morning. So I said, 'It'll probably be ok, we'll never reach the final'."
Any raised expectations following wins over Albania and Turkey were tempered by the identity of Scotland's final group opponents.
"I sent Walter Smith to watch Holland in their second match so we knew what we were facing," Roxburgh said.
"When Walter came back he said: 'We've no chance.'
"They had Marco van Basten up front and we all know what happened with him.
"We thought there's only one thing for it - usual Scottish mentality, we'll just have to fight. We go a goal down but we fight back in a positive way, we equalised and in fact we finished really strongly.
"We only needed a draw and on we went."
A 1-1 draw with the Dutch was followed by a 2-0 win over Poland that took the Scots into the final against Czechoslovakia.
"It was a really difficult game," said Nevin. "I can't remember the other goals but I remember mine.
"We had a free-kick outside the box and the idea was someone was to pass to someone else who was to lay it off for someone else to shoot. The lads got utterly confused by it.
"The ball landed at my feet with four defenders just sprinting straight at me. I dribbled through and put the ball away to score. Anybody watching would have thought it was a technically organised piece of football but it was nothing of the sort."
Goals from John Philliben and Gary Mackay either side of Nevin's strike earned Scotland a 3-1 win and the title of under-18 champions of Europe.
"It got massive publicity back here in Scotland," said Nevin, who was named player of the tournament.
"We knew nothing about the buzz back home. I probably should have told my girlfriend I was going. I told her I was away studying and there I am on the back page of the papers.
"We had a lot of right good players. It was damned obvious that Paul McStay was going to make it and do well."
Fresh from defeating Europe's finest, the Scots geared up for a tilt at a global title the following year.
"This team, having won the Euros, then went to Mexico for the youth World Cup," said Roxburgh who, as manager, led the senior international team to qualification for the 1990 World Cup in Italy and the 1992 European Championship in Sweden.
"We had all our players back and we added the likes of Steve Clarke and Brian McClair.
"We play in front of 87,000 in the decisive group match against Mexico and win 1-0. Stevie Clarke scored the only goal and he told me much later on, 'That was the night I realised I could be a top professional player'.
"A large number of the group, in fact more than you would normally get, went on to have top professional careers and played for the national team. That to me was the success," added Roxburgh, whose side lost 1-0 to Poland in the quarter-finals in '83.
One player from the '82 squad who Roxburgh felt should have achieved more in the game was Stirling-born midfielder Ally Dick.
"Ally Dick was a very gifted schoolboy player," said Roxburgh. "He played for Tottenham in the Uefa Cup final and then Johan Cruyff, no less, signs him for Ajax.
"He does really when but then gets injured and he never really realises his full potential, although if you look at his record it's quite remarkable. But he never made the national team or anything like that and I think that's mainly down to injury."
Even in the immediate aftermath of the '82 Euros victory and a creditable run in the youth World Cup the following year, Roxburgh was already fearing this moment represented a high watermark rather than a precursor to more success.
"At that time we were really beginning to see the end of street football," he said. "Brazilian kids play with the ball all day long. In Scotland there was a history of that too, particularly through street football.
"The next thing was the opportunity to play. Schools football was a key. In the mid-1980s the teachers went on strike and I remember the schools FA telling me the numbers playing went from 45,000 to down to something like 10,000. It took them years to try to build it back up. I don't know if they ever did.
"I know in the '90s the idea of youth development academies, many of the top Scottish clubs didn't really embrace that. They learned later on that maybe they should."
Nevin agrees with Roxburgh - who he says was "ahead of the curve" in his coaching - that the decline of street football has mirrored the downturn in the Scottish national team's fortunes.
He also wonders whether Scotland missed an opportunity to build on the 1982 success, given the Dutch side they knocked out in the group stage featured several players - including Van Basten - who won the 1988 European Championship.

"I remember at the time thinking we were a good group and if some of us make it then that's good enough," said Nevin, who would go on to play for Chelsea and Everton and win 28 caps for Scotland.
"And then you look at what the Dutch did. They went miles ahead of where we went.
"A lot of us made it to the top level in England, in Scotland, and made it to international football, which is good. But we seemed to hit this ceiling at under-18s, under-21s. We used to get to the semi-finals and finals of top international tournaments then we hit this ceiling.
"I'm kind of saddened because we had a wee opportunity to push on a little bit further. But we qualified for Worlds Cups and Euros all through that period and maybe for the size of our nation, that's where we should have been." | When next summer rolls around it will be 20 years since Scotland's last participation in a major tournament and, barring an upsurge in fortunes in World Cup qualifying, that wait is likely to continue. |
Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | They will link up again on Saturday night when they join another legendary goalscorer, Gary Lineker, in the studio for Match of the Day at 22:20 GMT on BBC One and the BBC Sport website.
How do they see the weekend action panning out? Shearer and Sutton tackle some of the big issues that will affect the key matches at both ends of the table, and give their verdict on some star strikers who are in and out of form.
Man City v Chelsea, 12:30 GMT, Saturday
Alan Shearer: "City have drawn their last three home league games against Everton, Southampton and Middlesbrough so what better way to bounce back than to beat a high-flying Chelsea side who will be full of confidence after coming from 1-0 down to beat Tottenham last weekend.
"Doing that will be far from easy, obviously. Chelsea have looked solid and dominated sides since they switched to playing three at the back at the start of their winning run.
"Victor Moses is a completely different player in their 3-4-3 system and their whole team looks comfortable playing it. In attack, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are excelling, which will give them hope of breaking down a City side who have only had one clean sheet in their last 14 games.
"But if there is a game where I would expect City to get it right and raise their levels it would be in a fixture like this one.
"Both sides have come into it fresh with no midweek fixtures and it is a mouth-watering prospect to see City's Sergio Aguero and Chelsea's Diego Costa, two of the best forwards in the league, going head-to-head.
"Chelsea have only conceded one goal during their seven-game winning run. For me, the key to them extending it is how - and if - they can handle Aguero."
Chris Sutton: "If I was picking one of them, I would still go with Aguero but Costa is back to his best after being written off by many last season.
"Costa leads the line so well, always brings other players into the game and has got his hunger and sharpness back, but Aguero on his day is still the outstanding striker in the Premier League.
"In terms of the game, I just have a feeling City will nick it.
"We know how good Chelsea are at the back and there is no doubt they are serious title contenders now, but City have got home advantage and more quality than Antonio Conte's side have come up against in this winning run.
"If City's attacking players click, even Conte will not be able to keep them out.
Sunderland v Leicester (15:00 GMT, Saturday)
Shearer: "Vardy's confidence must have taken a battering in the last few weeks.
"Last season every time he touched the ball, he seemed to score. Last weekend he didn't even have a shot. But there is only so long you can blame a lack of confidence - only he can put it right.
"That means getting back to doing everything he did last season and hoping his luck in front of goal changes.
"Last season he was aggressive in his running, stretched teams and ran in behind defences. His energy and running seemed to inspire his whole team. We just haven't seen enough of that from him this season.
Sutton: "Vardy has gone far too long without a goal for Leicester but he has scored for England during that time, so there should not be too much panic over his form.
"He is reliant on being given chances and that has not happened in the Premier League - just look at that statistic about how few passes Riyad Mahrez has made to him recently.
"Mahrez found Vardy with one ball against Boro, but that was only the second time it had happened in eight league games since 17 September.
"Leicester just need to find a supply line for him again and, if Sunderland take the initiative on Saturday, that could play into the Foxes' hands and let them play balls over the top for Vardy to run on to.
"That is exactly how he got one of the two goals he scored at the Stadium of Light in April. It will be very interesting to see if the Black Cats can deal with his pace this time."
Shearer and Sutton's Blackburn team did not win an away league game until January in 1995-96, the season after they won the title. After seven defeats and four draws on the road, they ended their wait at the 12th attempt when Shearer's goal gave them a 1-0 win at struggling QPR.
Sutton: "Like Leicester, we made a poor start to our title defence but we turned it around and eventually finished seventh.
"I think Claudio Ranieri's side have too much quality to go down, but it would be particularly damaging if they were to lose again on Saturday.
"Sunderland are still not very convincing going forward but they have got a bit of spirit and fight about them and their players and fans will think they have got a real chance of winning this game."
Shearer: "Although Sunderland were beaten in their last outing at Anfield their two wins before that, against Bournemouth and Hull, suggest they can cause Leicester problems at home, particularly with Jermain Defoe and Victor Anichebe starting to form some kind of understanding and threat as a pairing.
"I didn't have to work at it with Chris at Blackburn. It has taken them a bit longer but Defoe has always functioned best with a big man playing alongside him and it seems like he and Anichebe are building on that.
"This is a big game for Leicester. To perform so well in their first season in the Champions League is another fantastic achievement when we see so many other sides take time to adjust.
"But they now have to apply the same focus and determination to get results in the Premier league or they will be back in a relegation battle, like they were in the 2014-15 season."
Crystal Palace v Southampton (15:00 GMT, Saturday)
Media playback is not supported on this device
Shearer: "Alan Pardew is about to find out if his players want him in the job or not. They cannot defend in their next two games like they have done recently or he won't be their manager for much longer.
"As well as losing their last six league games, Crystal Palace have gone 18 games without a clean sheet, which tells you what has gone wrong for them.
"Why are they conceding so many goals? Well, Christian Benteke was at fault on more than occasion against Swansea last week and did the same against Manchester City the week before. Clearly sides have spotted his weaknesses at defensive set-pieces.
"At Newcastle, Sir Bobby Robson always used to say 'there is always one dope who falls asleep' in those situations and as players you target that.
"So what Palace need to do is put Benteke in the middle of the goal, on the six-yard box and take the responsibility away of marking someone. Just tell him to attack the ball.
"Palace have the advantage that they are at home and face a Southampton side who will have played last Sunday and on Wednesday in the EFL Cup too.
"Saints could be suffering from their European and midweek exertions and Palace have to get a win because they have a tricky run of fixtures ahead of them.
Sutton: "Pardew has got a strong relationship with Palace chairman Steve Parish but things are looking ominous for him - he clearly cannot keep losing games.
"I saw after the Swansea game that Phil Neville had said the players had let Pardew down, but this is a guy who has spent almost £75m in his two years in charge.
"If you are the Palace owners, over in the United States, then you must be thinking we should be doing much better than we are.
"This is almost a must-win game for Pardew, and it will be the same against Hull too."
Everton v Man Utd (16:00 GMT, Sunday)
Shearer: "Having watched United in the last three or four league games, they are creating chances.
"But if their strikers don't start taking them, then Jose Mourinho will have to look at bringing someone in during the January transfer window - you can only give your forwards so many chances.
"Wayne Rooney isn't the striker he was. Zlatan is scoring but you can't rely on a 35-year-old all season.
"There have been calls to give Marcus Rashford a go down the middle but when he was put through the middle against West Ham last weekend, he snatched at it.
"He's young, his time will come but at the moment I wouldn't put him in on current form.
"Anthony Martial has also also not been firing in the Premier League and has looked uninterested at times but he got two goals against the Hammers in Wednesday's EFL Cup win. Maybe that might give him a bit of confidence he desperately needs."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Sutton: "United's biggest problem at the moment is their manager, and the way he is behaving.
"I thought they were unfortunate not to beat Arsenal on 19 November but they were still not convincing against West Ham in the league and we are still waiting - and waiting - for them to turn the corner.
"Some people think they can still win the league but I am not one of them. They are not title contenders at all.
"It does not matter if you are playing with a single striker or a partnership up front, you have to find a way of creating chances.
"That is actually more of a problem for Everton than United at the moment, although neither team have scored many goals.
"Playing with two strikers is not necessarily the answer to that but, for United, Ibrahimovic is not going to run away from defenders any more.
"However United play, they need to get bodies around him because he is clever with his touches and his link-up play, but he can appear isolated.
"When United play him up front on his own, you notice his lack of pace. They have to get that from someone else who can stretch the game - otherwise, you become predictable."
Shearer: "With more sides playing a three-man attack, you do see fewer partnerships than we maybe saw when I was playing with Chris at Blackburn, Les Ferdinand at Newcastle or Teddy Sheringham with England.
"But in all those sides it wasn't a case of playing two out-and-out strikers - we were always able to drop in and help the midfield when we didn't have the ball.
Sutton: "If Alan and I were playing together in the Premier League now, we could have done some damage and I will tell you why.
"As he says, people would say we played a 4-4-2 the season we won the title but actually, out of possession, one of us would drop on to their holding midfielder.
"The game has not been reinvented - you can still play with two strikers. It is no big deal, just about players being adaptable.
"It suited me as a player because I liked to have people who were clever and quick to play off me. Is there still a place for it? Absolutely."

The actress had been out of the show for almost two months due to stress and exhaustion.
Her part had been taken over by understudy Natasha J Barnes to great acclaim.
"If she's still tired and frayed, she showed not a jot of fatigue for two hours on Saturday night," wrote the Telegraph's theatre critic Dominic Cavendish after seeing Smith's performance.
He said her return had been "greeted by protracted applause from the audience at the start and a standing ovation at the end - a tsunami of affection which she gamely took in her stride, beaming, and jabbing a thumbs-up in thanks".
Audience members tweeted that Smith got an "ecstatic" reception and that the cast received a "much-deserved standing ovation".
Fellow cast member Matthew Goodgame tweeted that it had been an "honour" to play the role of Nick opposite Smith.
The producers announced Smith's return as she took to the stage on Friday night.
"We are delighted to welcome Sheridan Smith back to Funny Girl this evening," said a statement.
"It is currently planned that Sheridan will also play this Saturday evening (not matinee), and Monday to Saturday next week (excluding the Wednesday matinee and Thursday evening performances at which Natasha J Barnes will perform).
"From the week commencing 18 July, Sheridan is scheduled to perform Tuesday through Saturday, with Natasha playing Fanny Brice on Monday evenings. This schedule is subject to change, but we look forward to continuing to entertain audiences at the Savoy Theatre until our run ends on 8 October."
When Smith took time off from the role in May the producers said she would get "the rest and support she needs".

Please summarize the following text. | Shanay Walker was found dead in her bed in Nottingham in July 2014.
She was living with her aunt, Kay-Ann Morris, 24, who denies murder.
Shanay's mother Leann Walker told Nottingham Crown Court she had struggled to cope after the birth of Shanay's sister.
She told how she developed depression and anxiety in the year after her second child's birth and eventually agreed to Shanay being put into care.
Ms Walker said she was unhappy when Ms Morris was granted guardianship in 2011.
She said Shanay's father nominated his sister Kay-Ann Morris, of Beckhampton Road, Nottingham, as guardian - which was eventually made official.
The court heard in subsequent visits Shanay showed signs of bruising and "seemed distant".
She told the jury she received a phone message on the morning of Shanay's death from Ms Morris saying: "I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough."
A post-mortem report showed Shanay had more than 50 injuries on her body and had died of a brain injury.
The court has heard Ms Morris told police officers Shanay had accidently fallen down the stairs.
The prosecution said the aunt was "covering up the truth" that she had subjected her niece to a "sustained, vicious and brutal beating".
Shanay's grandmother Juanila Smikle, 53, of Easegill Court in Top Valley, also denies cruelty charges relating to Shanay and four other children.
Ms Morris is also charged with cruelty against two other children in 2011.
The trial continues.
Since the first major appeal in 1980, more than £840m has been raised to help children in the UK.
Pyjama parties, leg waxing and carwash karaoke were among the many fundraisers which took place across Wales on Friday to raise money for this year's event.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | A Daily Telegraph investigation says Allardyce, 61, used his role to negotiate a £400,000 deal and also offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.
Allardyce is yet to respond to the allegations and was due to meet with Football Association chairman Greg Clarke and chief executive Martin Glenn on Tuesday.
The former Bolton, Newcastle and West Ham manager also appears to criticise the FA, his international predecessor Roy Hodgson and ex-England assistant Gary Neville.
"You have to let Sam Allardyce defend himself and I just hope he will clear his name," said Wenger.

The Telegraph says it will pass transcripts from its investigation to the FA, although they run to "to many hundreds of pages" and "will take some time to collate."
Allardyce, who has only been in charge for one game and 67 days, was named England boss in July, succeeding Hodgson after a disastrous European Championship campaign.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright said it would be a "terrible shame" for Allardyce to lose his job for "non-footballing reasons".
"When you look at Sam and his career, he was never ever going to get the opportunity to manage a top-four club," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"He got the England job and for him to now stand on the brink of losing that job is a crying shame."
Karren Brady, chief executive of Allardyce's former club West Ham, said she is "both saddened and disappointed" by the developments.
"This is a man who spent his whole life trying to get that job, and got it in his 60s. What a great shame if he loses that job through non-footballing reasons," she told Radio 1 Newsbeat.
Former FA communications director Julian Eccles has said Allardyce's actions are "at the very least bad judgement", and said he will have to justify his claims that third-party ownership is still prevalent.

During the meeting with undercover reporters posing as businessmen, it is alleged Allardyce said it was "not a problem" to bypass the rules and he knew of agents who were "doing it all the time".
"I think if he is to keep his job at the very least he has to provide the evidence where he says that agents are still involved in this and he has to apologise for stating that these rules are 'ridiculous'," Eccles told BBC News.
"We cannot have such a senior figure in our game being so disrespectful of such important rules."
That view was supported by Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker, who tweeted saying Allardyce "advising on getting around third-party rules" was the "biggest problem".
Third-party ownership of players was banned by the FA in 2008.
It is further alleged by the paper that a deal was struck with the England boss worth £400,000 for him to represent the company to Far East investors and to be a keynote speaker at events.
However, Allardyce told the undercover reporters that any arrangement would have to be cleared by the FA.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Bodo Ramelow of the socialist Die Linke (Left party) is set to become state premier of Thuringia next month.
Die Linke, rooted in the old East German state Communist party, has never led a state government.
But all three coalition parties said they saw East Germany as a state that did not operate within the rule of law.
What is now Thuringia was part of East Germany during the Cold War but is at the heart of the reunified country.
Broken taboos - by Damien McGuinness, BBC News, Berlin
The region's new political leaders were clear that coalition negotiations were difficult - mainly because until now Die Linke has had pariah status in the eyes of many mainstream politicians.
The party is often accused of being a successor to oppressive East German communism, unwilling to confront the crimes of the past. But alongside a radical programme of radical left-wing policies to please each party - from a ban on fracking to free kindergarten places for the first year - a commitment to addressing the region's controversial communist history was also announced.
The real significance of this new left-wing government is not a sign of a rise of the radical left. Overall support for Die Linke has not risen dramatically over the past few years. Rather, it is proof that the long-fragmented left is getting its act together, and is able to break taboos to co-operate.
Meanwhile Chancellor Angela Merkel finds that her centre-right party is being undermined by the new anti-euro Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD). Now the rest of the country will be watching closely to see if Thuringia can deliver such left-wing policies affordably.
Presenting the unprecedented "red-red-green" coalition, which includes the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens, the parties emphasised that dealing with the past had been a major issue in their talks.
Die Linke chairwoman Susanne Hennig-Wellsow told reporters in Erfurt, Thuringia's state capital, that recognition of the German Democratic Republic (DDR) as an "Unrechtsstaat" - a state operating beyond the rule of law - had been included in the preamble to the coalition document.
The Thuringia deal comes barely a week after celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall and has angered senior German figures, including President Joachim Gauck, a former dissident pastor in communist East Germany.
People who had lived under communism would "find it quite hard to accept" a socialist-led state government, Mr Gauck said.
In an indication of the party's socialist heritage, Bodo Ramelow delivered campaign speeches ahead of the Thuringia election in September alongside a red bust of Karl Marx.
The Greens said on Thursday that without the agreed declaration on East Germany, they would never have signed up to the coalition deal.
Mr Ramelow has said that a Linke-led coalition government will pursue "pragmatic policies" and will be a "project of reconciliation".
His appointment is still subject to a vote in the state assembly due on 5 December.
Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats, who rule at national level in coalition with the SPD, are expected to form the opposition in Thuringia. Germany's chancellor also grew up in East Germany.
A spokesman for her CDU party in Thuringia said the coalition could threaten everything that had been achieved there in the past 25 years.
However, Die Linke believe the coalition could send a signal to other states in Germany ahead of the next federal elections in 2017. | Leftist parties in Germany have agreed a historic coalition deal which will see the first far-left regional president since the fall of communism. |
Summarize the information in the following document. | The Little Sisters of the Poor announced last year that they were unable continue their mission at the Wellburn Care Home after 152 years.
However, the Little Sisters have verbally accepted an offer from the Diocese of Dunkeld to take over the home, ensuring it stays open.
The practical side of the transfer will be worked out in the coming months.
The Little Sisters of the Poor has seen dwindling membership worldwide, with the number of nuns falling 50% from 4,000 to 2,000 over the last 10 years.
When they announced they were leaving the Wellburn Care Home, there were only two sisters remaining in Dundee under the age of 70.
Sister Joseph Christine, mother provincial of the Little Sisters, on behalf of the congregation said she was "delighted" to entrust the future of the home to the diocese.
Bishop Stephen Robson said: "The Catholic Church believes that the continued operation of Wellburn will best serve the infirm and elderly and protect their rights, interests and dignity, by continuing the loving service and care of those in need.
"I have known the Little Sisters since I was a child and have always had a great love and respect for their work. We will be happily blessed indeed if we can achieve their level of service and love and dedication."
Commons, who scored in the 3-1 defeat at the Aker Stadion, said the incident was "something that should never be shown publicly on the field".
The 32-year-old's outburst seemed to be directed at assistant manager John Collins and coach John Kennedy.
"I was very frustrated at how the night had gone," said Commons on the Celtic website.

"However, I did not handle this in the right way. My frustration at losing games and my desire to win will never change.
"I know we are all part of a team at Celtic and I am proud to be part of this team. I want this team to win and I am sure we can come together, work hard and get the results needed to qualify from this group.
"I still have every confidence we can do this and in a fortnight we have the chance to make amends [against Molde at Celtic Park]. That's the motivation now for us all.
"I'd like to apologise for my reaction last night, something that should never be shown publicly on the field."
Striker Leigh Griffiths revealed on Friday that Commons had apologised to the rest of the squad.
Manager Ronnie Deila would not confirm if the former Scotland player would be disciplined but, when asked if Commons would be available for selection against Dundee United on Sunday, the Norwegian said: "Yeah, of course.
"It's very important [that Commons apologised] and I'm happy for that," said Deila. "He came to me and did it at once and that's very good. We have dealt with it and now we have to move on.
"We have to have discipline and stay together and he really understands that.
"I've had many of these situations before - it's not the first time. Different sorts of situations as well.
"I'm confident that I have a good relationship with the players. Everybody's disappointed. We have to speak through things and get better."
Deila was also asked about the supporters' frustrations following the loss in Norway, which left Celtic bottom of Europa League Group A on two points - five behind leaders Molde.
"I understand they're angry," he said
"I really understand and I know a lot of people are travelling around with Celtic and have big expectations. We are very, very sorry and disappointed.
"We have to move on and make it good again and that starts on Sunday.
"You will lose football games. This time it was a bad performance, that's why it's even worse to lose. We have to get back on a good performance and the only thing we can do is look forward and do it on Sunday.
"I really believe in what we're doing. The situation is not unbelievably bad. We are top of the league, we are still in both cups, we still have a chance in Europe so there are some positive things." | A Dundee care home which faced closure due to a shortage of nuns to run it has been saved.

Summarize the following piece. | The nine were all born after Nato's 1999 military campaign, strongly backed by the former UK prime minister, which ousted Serbian forces from the region.
Mr Blair is credited with playing a decisive role in ending former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic regime's persecution of ethnic Albanians.
One of those named after the former prime minister, Tonibler Sahiti, said he was a "very great man".
Mr Blair, paying only his second visit to Kosovan capital Pristina since 1999, was greeted by a crowd of several thousand people, some carrying British flags, and posters describing him as a "leader, friend and hero".
He and his wife Cherie appeared on stage with nine children named after him in the aftermath of Nato's air campaign against Serbia.
Before he was introduced to the crowd, Mr Blair was told that his name was "quite common" in the country.
Speaking to Kosovo TV, the father of one of the children named after him remembered when Mr Blair visited a camp in neighbouring Albania where refugees had fled from the violence in their homeland.
"They ask me what the name is," Jahir Sahiti said on his son Tonibler.
"I tell them that the name is Tonibler and I hope that he carries it in good health."
His mother Shukrija said she was very "proud" he was named after Mr Blair, adding: "I hope to God that he grows up to be like Tony Blair or just a fraction like him."
After Nato's action in 1999, it established a UN protectorate over the territory. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008.
Mr Blair told the audience that he did not regret his actions in supporting the attacks on Serbian troops in what is now Kosovo and targets in Serbia itself.
"I did what was right. I did not regret it then. I do not regret it now," he said.
Ilir Nishku, head of the BBC World Service's Albanian Department, said Mr Blair was regarded as something of a hero in Kosovo due to his championing of the war.

The five-year-old was killed by paedophile Mark Bridger after being snatched from outside her home in Machynlleth, Powys, on 1 October, 2012.
April's parents Paul and Coral Jones are hoping the petition will prompt a change in the law.
"The more signatures we get the more fight we have," said Mrs Jones.
The new petition follows April's Law petition which was set up in 2013, which attracted 70,000 signatures.
Mrs Jones said she hoped it would attract 100,000 signatures which would allow for it to be discussed in Parliament.
Unable to track down the author of the original petition, the family launched a new one hoping for the following three key aspects:
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Mrs Jones said: "It's three simple things, but we're hoping a new law will help other families.
"It's nearly four years on and we're still affected by it, and we don't want any other family to go through what we have."
April's sister Jazmin said April's death had a huge impact on her life.
"I shared a bedroom with her and me and my brother were always together with her," she said.
"We didn't really know what to do with ourselves.
"It took me two years to go and get help because I didn't want to admit that I was struggling and seem like the weak one in the family."
Mark Bridger was given a whole life jail term in 2013 after being found guilty of April's murder.
He was not on the sex offenders list, but indecent images of young children were found on his computer.
Jazmin said a year before April's death, he had attempted to approach her when she was 14-years-old.
"He contacted me on Facebook and tried to add me as a friend," she said.
"He was trying to say that he was friends with my mum and dad just to get me to accept."
Employees may be liable for a tax charge if their bosses spend more than £150 per head during the year on entertaining staff, tax rules state.
The £150 allowance had not changed since June 2003, said tax partner Andy Sanford, of Blick Rothenberg.
He said that firms should monitor expenditure or face affecting morale.
Entertainment of staff is considered by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as a benefit in kind which is taxable. So after the £150 allowance, a tax bill could be levied on individual employees.
However, firms could enter a settlement agreement that would ensure employers covered the cost, rather than employees.
"[That] would be a nice Christmas present," Mr Sanford said.
"Matters could be simplified by there being no taxable benefit on individuals, with the company bearing the tax on parties and celebrations."
Meanwhile, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has highlighted the difference between some items seen at Christmas in terms of VAT.
VAT - a sales tax of 20% - is generally levied on "luxuries", but many "essentials" are VAT-free.
This means that children's clothes are not subject to VAT, but adults' clothes are.
The ICAEW also points out that shelled and salted nuts are considered to be luxuries and are subject to VAT, but unshelled nuts are free from VAT. | Four weeks on from the Grenfell Tower fire, piecing together the events of the night - in the words of victims and survivors.

What is the summary of the provided article? | But there's one group of people who would actively welcome rain and cold: TV producers.
Ratings tend to drop off a cliff whenever the weather hits scorching proportions, as viewers head to the park or have a BBQ in their garden.
This weekend was no exception - and some of the major TV shows lost out as a result.
On Saturday night, all the major networks were punting their big shows, with a few newcomers on the block.
BBC One launched its latest music show, Pitch Battle, which saw Kelis and Gareth Malone on the judging panel of the new talent contest which pits choirs and a capella groups against each other.
But the show, which aired at 19:30 BST, only attracted an average audience of two million viewers, around 800,000 fewer than watched quiz show Who Dares Wins in the same timeslot last week.
Channel 5 also aired the first episode of the reincarnated Blind Date at 19:00 BST, which saw Paul O'Grady taking over the presenting reins from Cilla Black, who fronted the original series.
The show performed extremely well for the channel, with an average of 1.5m viewers watching it live and peaking at 1.9m, according to overnight figures.
A Channel 5 spokeswoman said Blind Date more than doubled their average number of viewers for its primetime Saturday night slot.
There was lots of love for O'Grady on social media:
Adam Salkie tweeted: "Never an easy job taking over a TV classic from an incredible hostess. However, Paul O'Grady is brilliant. Enjoyable show #BlindDate."
But not everyone was a fan.
Pitch Battle also had a mixed response.
But some viewers loved it.
The BBC showed a different instalment of Pitch Battle than the one originally scheduled due to the recent Grenfell fire tragedy.
"Due to song lyrics and themes, the decision has been taken to replace the original opening episode," the corporation said in a statement.
The top show of the night was ITV's talent show The Voice Kids, which aired at the same time as Pitch Battle.
The singing contest, judged by Will.i.am, Pixie Lott and Danny Jones, averaged 2.9m live viewers and peaked at 3.5m.
But it was down on last week's episode, which saw four million tune in live, peaking at 4.3m.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Ervin, who is now the oldest Olympic swimming champion at 35, quit the sport after winning gold in Sydney 2000 and returned years later, for London 2012.
"Maybe a piece of me wanted to see if I could get that medal back," Ervin, who had battled depression, alcoholism and drug addiction, told NBC.
"I got it," the veteran added.
Ervin won Friday's 50m freestyle race in 21.40 seconds, beating France's Florent Manaudou, by just 0.01 seconds.
"I feel the overwhelming support of all my people," he said after the event.
The heavily-tattooed Californian had already claimed gold in the 4x100m freestyle earlier this week.
When asked before Friday's race what he would do if he won another gold, Ervin was bluntly honest: "I don't know. I'm living in the moment, man."
It remains to be seen, though, how long Ervin will keep his medals in his cabinet, as he sold his Sydney trophy to raise money in aid of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami victims.
Few had expected that Ervin would be able to return triumphantly in the pool after his abrupt decision to quit the sport in 2003 - at the age of only 22.
During his prolonged "swimmer's burnout" period he tried many things, from learning guitar to immersing himself in Buddhism.
He even stopped telling people he had used to be an Olympic swimming champion, Ervin admitted in his biography Chasing Water: Elegy of an Olympian, published earlier this year.
"The oppression of my former swimming identity loses its hold on me," Ervin wrote.
"I am no longer Anthony Ervin the Swimmer, but Tony, just another guy in a band."
Ervin reached an "absolute low" when after years of abusing himself on drugs he was hardly able to rise from a a sofa for days, his friend told people.com website.
But he started to train again in 2011, finishing fifth at the 50m freestyle at the London Olympics.
"It's fair to say nobody has been through what he has," US swimming coach David Marsh told people.com.
"But Anthony's got the most efficient freestyle I've ever seen. That's been the case since he was young. He's just a barracuda in the water."
Ervin - who has Jewish, African-American and Native American roots - was raised in Valencia, California.
The visitors led 21-9 at the end of the first quarter and were 45-18 at the break.

The authorities blamed unknown assailants for firing on the march.
But the Muslim Brotherhood said the deaths occurred when the police broke up the protest.
Supporters of the Brotherhood have faced a crackdown since mid-2013, with thousands jailed and hundreds, including Morsi, sentenced to death.
Demonstrations have dwindled under a law that requires a police permit.
But there were street rallies on Friday following morning prayers for Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fasting month.
They followed a Brotherhood call for protests, saying "your Eid is your revolution", says the BBC's Claire Read in Cairo.
On Thursday night, Morsi released a message from his jail cell calling on his supporters to "save Egypt from the oppressive military officials".
Friday's clashes happened in Talbiya district, near the Giza pyramids, and Nahya, near Cairo.

The two Koreas are scheduled to hold rare talks on Thursday aimed at improving relations.
The meeting would be the first between the two sides since August when tensions bubbled over into a brief exchange of fire at the heavily guarded border.
On Tuesday North Korea criticised the South for staging a live-fire drill near their disputed sea border saying it might respond to the "confrontation".
Mr Ban, who is a former South Korean foreign minister, has repeatedly said he is willing to "play any constructive role" to work for peace, stability and dialogue on the Korean Peninsula.
A planned visit by him to North Korea in May was abruptly cancelled.
But then last week, South Korea's Yonhap news agency cited an unnamed official saying a visit had been scheduled. The media reports sparked a denial from the United Nations.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Mr Ban said there had been "positive signs" about a future visit.
"We are discussing when would be the good time for me to visit the North, but so far nothing has been decided," he said, adding that he was working to make the trip "at the earliest time".

He said he would be knocking on doors in his constituency over the Easter weekend and described being MP for Sheffield Hallam as "one of the greatest pleasures of my public life".
This election issue includes funding for schools, university tuition fees and early years education.
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
The party acknowledged its plans to extend paternity leave entitlement to six weeks would not be welcomed by all businesses, but said there would be benefits for some employers through better staff retention.
The policy, which the Lib Dems said would cost £58m a year, would apply to fathers in all parts of the UK except Northern Ireland, which has separate employment laws.
It would entitle fathers to paternity pay at the statutory rate, currently £138.18 a week.
The party also highlighted rules to allow some couples to share their parental leave which come into force for babies due on or after 5 April.
Lib Dem Equalities Minister Jo Swinson said: "Shared parental leave is my proudest achievement as a minister and I'm delighted that it finally becomes a reality this week.
"It will help drive a cultural change that champions the role of dads, but we can go further to challenge the gender stereotypes that all too often write fathers off as hapless or bumbling."
Meanwhile, BBC chief political correspondent Vicki Young said the Lib Dems were keen to get some of the credit for the economic recovery after over 100 business leaders signed a letter to the Daily Telegraph supporting the Conservatives.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said the bosses should be "careful what they wish for".
He told BBC Radio 4's The World at One: "If we do get the Conservatives in government, what they have promised to do is take action that could potentially take us out of Europe with all the threat to the jobs and the future in the single market, and these deep ideological cuts which will affect things like education and skills and science and our industrial strategy."

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Lee Dent, 42, said he thought Alex Peguero Sosa, 17, had a knife before the late-night attack at a taxi rank in Kingsbridge, Devon.
He also told Plymouth Crown Court he did not know he had a bottle in his hand before striking Mr Peguero Sosa.
Mr Dent, from East Portlemouth, Devon, denies murdering Mr Peguero Sosa.
The former Plymouth Argyle youth squad player from Aveton Gifford, near Kingsbridge, was killed in the early hours of 6 July last year.
Mr Dent and Mr Peguero Sosa had been out socialising with friends before the attack in which Mr Dent stabbed Mr Peguero Sosa in the neck, the court heard.
Mr Dent told the court: "I thought he had a knife. He said he was going to stab me up."
Martin Meeke, defending, asked him if he had seen a knife and Mr Dent said he saw a "glint".
"He put me a position where I had no option but to defend myself," he said.
He also said that he had been more drunk than ever before.
The trial continues.
A report into the attack on the Heights Bar in Loughinisland by the ombudsman last week said the killers had been protected from investigation.
But Michael Maguire did not use powers to have any officers involved arrested.
He also did not send files to the Public Prosecution Service.
The ombudsman has said there was insufficient evidence to support criminal charges.
Families of the victims of the Loughinisland attack said they had been vindicated by the report's findings, and called for all of those involved to be brought to justice.
It is the responsibility of the police ombudsman to investigate alleged criminal behaviour by current and former police officers.
His investigators also have the power to arrest suspects, and can recommend that they face charges.
Mr Maguire was highly critical of some of former members of RUC Special Branch.
He said police informers involved in the Loughinisland attack, and the importation of a huge consignment of weapons from South Africa, had been protected.
"Some police officers appeared to place more value on gathering information and protecting their sources than on the prevention and detection of crime," he said.
But he did not have any of the former officers arrested, and did not recommend to the Public Prosecution Service that they should face charges.
In an interview for Tuesday night's BBC Spotlight programme, the chief constable has expressed surprise.
"There does seem to be some sort of distance between the strength of the language in the report, in the fact that we're not having police officers even reported to the PPS," he said.
"If I got to a point where I was convinced in a very clear way that collusion was a key element of the Loughinisland murders then I'd be looking to take that conclusion into evidence through arrests, interviews, charges."
A former police ombudsman, Nuala O'Loan, told Spotlight that bringing charges would be extremely difficult because of the relationship between police informants and their handlers.
"The problem that you have when you do these investigations as a police ombudsman is that the paramilitaries with whom the police officers were colluding are the witnesses for the police ombudsman, and the police officers whom the police ombudsman is investigating are the witnesses for the police investigating the paramilitaries," she said.
The current ombudsman has said that while there was sufficient evidence for him to say some police officers had been involved in collusion, there was not enough evidence to support criminal charges.
In a statement to the BBC, Michael Maguire said that as a result of the passage of time some witnesses were no longer available, some documentation was missing and it was not always possible to get a detailed picture of the role of certain individuals.
He said a number of related issues referred to in the Loughinisland report are still under investigation.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | Fees were due to start last Monday, but a delay to install the new system and train staff meant charging had to be postponed.
The council said reintroducing charges was necessary to fund a new ferry and support the service.
But it has angered residents who formed a Facebook group to oppose the charges.
The 38-year-old chain ferry, which links Cowes and East Cowes, is being replaced by Isle of Wight Council next summer.
The chain ferry, which takes about two to three minutes to cross the river and means users avoid a 20-mile round trip, has provided free river crossings for pedestrians and cyclists since 1992.
An estimated one million foot passengers and cyclists use it each year.
Tolls for drivers currently range from £2.20 for cars to £7.60 for lorries. Pedestrians and cyclists will have to pay 40p return.
Once a smartcard system is introduced, non-smartcard holders will pay 70p. Travel is free for under-19s or bus pass holders.

"I've just looked at some of the stats. I think they had one shot on target so defensively that shows you how good we were, especially with a really young back four.
"And I thought going forward, some of the breaks, we kept the ball, we moved the ball at pace and I'm delighted for the boys."
Watford head coach Beppe Sannino: "For me tonight, this was a night I was disappointed for a lot of people, the fans here at Vicarage Road and they deserve another show.
"Doncaster played better than us and they deserved it."

Mrs Jackson said she was by his side on Tuesday night when he died in hospital in Memphis.
The Memphis Horns were a staple of much of the music made at Stax Records, one of the most important R&B and soul labels of the 1960s.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Race Council Cymru, who conducted the survey, said people feared not being believed or taken seriously.
It concluded police need to do more to reach ethnic groups in rural areas.
The 10-month study, funded by Gwent's police and crime commissioner, looked at ways of working with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities.
Findings will be discussed by 80 representatives of Gwent BAME groups at an event in Newport on Monday.
The project collected views of people in emerging or so-called "hard to reach" communities around the five Gwent local authority areas, to help gain a better understanding of them.
These included Turkish and African communities in Torfaen; Nepalese, Syrian and Gypsy and travellers in Caerphilly; Sudanese in Newport and Ahmadiyya Muslim women.
The key findings included that people felt they should have more engagement with police - with a number of refugee women highlighting issues like vulnerability and lack of awareness of available services.
There was also a fear that miscommunication occurs because of things like language and cultural differences.
Some people interviewed in Cwmbran said they regularly experience hate incidents and crime, including verbal abuse, bullying and physical assault.
But they do not report these as they fear not being believed or taken seriously.
Gwent's Police and Crime Commissioner Jeff Cuthbert said he hoped the study could be a "catalyst" for "breaking down barriers".
Race Council Cymru chief executive Uzo Iwobi said progress had been made but more work needed to be done to reach ethnic minority communities in rural parts of the force area.

Nominations for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year 2015 award have now closed.
The winner will be revealed during this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year, which will come from Belfast's SSE Arena on Sunday, 20 December.
Last year's winner was gymnast Claudia Fragapane, who won four gold medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Previous winners include diver Tom Daley, tennis player Andy Murray, footballer Wayne Rooney, Paralympian Ellie Simmonds and golfer Lauren Taylor, but who will be celebrating this year?
Nominations for the Young Sports Personality of the Year were made to the BBC and by sports governing bodies via the Youth Sport Trust and a panel will decide the winner from the shortlisted nominees.
Nominees must have been 17 or under on 1 January 2015. Full terms and conditions can be found here.
BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year has again joined forces with Blue Peter to offer one young viewer the chance to join the panel - sitting alongside some of our leading sports stars to decide this year's shortlist.
The lucky viewer will be selected from those who have applied for a Blue Peter Sport Badge - that is also now closed. The panel for this year's BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year will be announced at a later date.

Summarize the following piece. | Officers were called to Vallis Vale on the outskirts of Frome, where the unlicensed music event was under way.
Avon and Somerset Police said it had started to receive complaints at about 01:30 BST but decided to let the event continue.
It took a further eight hours before officers "managed to turn the music off" and got people to disperse.
Ch Supt Ian Smith defended the force's decision of just "containing those that were already there in the area" rather than shutting the event down.
"If we are aware in advance about a potential event, the law allows us to take action to close it down," he said.
"However, if it has already started... an assessment has to be made.
"There were a large number of people in attendance and we needed to have the right number of resources in place to make sure they could leave without putting themselves or others at risk."
He apologised to local residents for the disruption but added a full investigation would be carried out to "establish the full circumstances and to ensure all criminal offences are pursued".
Residents wrote on the force's Facebook page appealing for the event to be stopped.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Dudu Mazibuko told the BBC that the scheme was intended to "reduce HIV, Aids and unwanted pregnancy" among young girls in the Uthukela district of eastern KwaZulu-Natal province.
Those receiving the bursary would have to provide proof from regular virginity tests, the mayor added.
Rights groups have condemned the move.
An estimated 6.3 million people in South Africa are HIV-positive, with more than one in 10 people living with the virus.
The conditions of the scholarship were "a violation of the rights and dignity of the girl child", a spokesperson for the South African group People Opposing Women Abuse (Powa) told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio.
"Virginity testing will never stop the spread of HIV and Aids," Idumeleng Muloko said.
Kwazulu-Natal is one of the provinces worst affected in a country which already has the highest number of people living HIV in the world.
Mayor Mazibuko said that neither district nor university authorities would be the ones carrying out the virginity tests.
According to the mayor, those who received the scholarship would already have been tested as part of an annual Zulu ceremony, where virgin girls and women are pre-selected to perform a reed dance for King Goodwill Zwelithini.
Asked whether she would be comfortable submitting her own daughters to the practice, Ms Mazibuko told the BBC that she would be, and that her own granddaughter was hoping to take part in this year's ceremony.
The government-backed Commission for Gender Equality has also criticised the initiative:
"I think the intentions of the mayor are great but what we don't agree with is giving bursaries for virginity," chairman Mfanozelwe Shozi told AP news agency.
"There is an issue around discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, virginity and even against boys. This is going too far." | A South African mayor has defended the decision to award scholarships to 16 female university students, which are conditional on them remaining virgins. |

Now, it can be a reality after two teachers and the FAW Trust compiled an education pack.
It covers years 3-6, includes literacy, numeracy and physical education and is available for teachers to download.
CEO of the FAW Trust, Neil Ward, said: "We were really keen to use football and the Euros in engaging pupils."
The education pack, containing 24 lesson plans, was written by Adam Raymond and Jonathan Davies, assistant head teacher and physical literacy teacher respectively at Pencoed Primary School, Bridgend.
They cover the new six areas of education proposed in the review of education in Wales carried out by Prof Graham Donaldson.
Mr Raymond said: "The resource is bespoke package of planned, rich learning tasks that teachers can use and adapt to fit their pupils' needs."
Tasks include using iMovie to create a motivational film, creating a budget, writing a report on the history of Paris' buildings, cultural diversity and tourist attractions and making a graph based on statistics of Wales players' performances.
The plans have been uploaded to the Welsh Government's hub for digital learning tools and resources.

Can you provide a summary of this content? | Michael McFaul said the ban was "because of my close affiliation with [President Barack] Obama".
Mr McFaul said he was preparing to visit Russia "to do [Hillary] Clinton transition work" before Donald Trump won the US election.
Russia's foreign ministry confirmed the ban, Russian news agencies reported.
In a public post on Facebook, Mr McFaul said: "Was told that I am on the Kremlin's sanctions list because of my close affiliation with Obama. I will take that as a compliment! The US sanctioned Russians close to Putin.
"To the best of my knowledge, George Kennan was the last US ambassador to USSR/Russia to be banned from traveling there. Good company! Hope that I am not on the Russia travel ban list forever. Since 1983, I've been living in and traveling to that country."
Mr McFaul is a professor at Stanford University and was US ambassador to Russia from 2012-14.
George Kennan, whom he mentioned, held the post in the then Soviet Union in 1952. He lost the job abruptly after comparing the conditions at the ambassador's residence in Moscow to his time under Nazi internment during World War Two.
In a series of posts on Twitter, Mr McFaul said his travel ban was probably imposed in 2014 "in response to US sanctions".
The US and the EU both heaped sanctions on Russia in 2014 after it annexed the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine. They included travel bans on senior Russian officials and the freezing of their US assets.

What sanctions is Russia facing?
The European Union is likely to extend its economic sanctions against Russia in December. However, many diplomats fear President-elect Donald Trump will pursue a cosier relationship with the country that could make them harder to maintain.
Mr McFaul said he was not opposed to the mutual lifting of bans "under the right conditions".
He said he was "extremely disappointed" by the decision, adding that he had travelled to Russia hundreds of times, had many friends there and had spent most of his career studying the country.
Russia has sanctions against a number of nations, including a total ban on importing food from the EU, US, Canada, Norway and Australia.

Mr Tymon suffered swelling and a split lip in the assault on 4 March and visited a hospital A&E department for his injuries.
Following an internal investigation, the BBC announced on 25 March Clarkson's contract on Top Gear would not be renewed.
More than a million fans signed a petition to reinstate the presenter, but BBC director general Tony Hall said "a line has been crossed" and "there cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another".

But Nugent headed in Anthony Knockaert's late free-kick to secure the win ahead of Sunday's second leg.
It was the striker's 15th goal of the season and, although it is his first since January, it could prove to be well worth the wait for a side whose play-off dream seemed to be over less than a week ago.
The Foxes were second in the table in February but a dismal end-of-season run saw them win just once in their final 12 games before last Saturday.
However, having played with such freedom and imagination in the thrilling play-off clinching victory over East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest, Leicester started brimming with confidence.
And once again the tremendous pace, direct running and trickery of Lloyd Dyer and Saturday's match-winner Knockaert was the standout feature of their attacking play.
Watford, the Football League's second-highest top scorers this season with 85 goals, were rattled, uncharacteristically sloppy, and barely got out of their half in the opening 15 minutes.
Nugent tested fit-again Hornets goalkeeper Manuel Almunia with a cheeky back-heel and had a decent strike blocked, and Ritchie De Laet headed straight at the former Arsenal man from point-blank range.
Leicester have the advantage and rightly so. They were the better team on the day. Watford will be disappointed with what they created. But the tie is far from over and both teams have everything to play for in the return leg on Sunday
Watford's incredible season was in danger of being forgotten as they struggled to cope with the onslaught and, seemingly, the crushing disappointment of Saturday's failure to secure automatic promotion.
But having weathered the storm in blustery, rainy conditions at a heaving King Power Stadium they nearly went ahead.
A terrible defensive slip-up by Manchester United trialist Jeffrey Schlupp allowed Ikechi Anya to run through and Kasper Schmeichel had to be alert to block his strike and an even better follow-up effort from Almen Abdi.
Marco Cassetti also shot over from distance but Leicester remained the dominant side and responded again.
Nugent should have scored but side-footed wide from 12 yards after more great work by the jet-heeled Dyer and Knockaert went close after a lightning break and some smart footwork on the right flank.
The chances slowed up after the interval and the quality and excitement also dropped off. But the frantic pace remained.
Watford began to show the measure of control they had previously lacked and looked more comfortable in defence against Leicester's pace.
And they had two glorious chances to go ahead.
Watford, who finished third in the Championship table, may be trailing but they will be heartened by the fact that in each of the last two seasons the team finishing third has won promotion via the play-offs - West Ham and Swansea
Football League player of the year Vydra should have scored but completely fluffed his kick when through one-on-one and Geijo headed over from six yards at the back post when he seemed to completely mistime his leap.
The Foxes made Watford pay when Knockaert swung over a teasing cross and Nugent rose to head in from close range and send the home fans into raptures and earn a vital lead prior to Sunday's second leg at Vicarage Road.
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson:
"It's half-time, it was a tight game with two good sides. We were able to take a chance towards the end when it looked as though it was going to end 0-0 and it's all to play for.
"We've got to be positive and try and win the next game as well.
"The play-offs are always a bit difficult to negotiate in terms of anything can happen and both sides will feel they can win."
Watford manager Gianfranco Zola:
"I didn't expect them to score, I didn't see that coming at any time because it looked like we were in control of it.
"We had a few chances when we should have scored.
"But it's only half-time. We are looking forward to playing on Sunday.
"We have to win the game - that is what we want. It is going to be tough but we have a lot of confidence too."

Please summarize the following text. | CCTV systems, routers, digital video recorders and other internet-of-things (IoT) devices are now believed to be harbouring the Hajime worm.
The fast-moving worm is currently outpacing malicious equivalents seeking the same vulnerable gear.
Security researchers say they do not know who created Hajime or how it might ultimately be used.
Hajime was first discovered in October 2016 and, said security researchers, had been hunting down IoT devices with security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a different worm, called Mirai.
Earlier the same month, a network of devices compromised by Mirai was responsible for knocking offline high-profile websites including Twitter, Spotify and Reddit.
Modest estimates suggested Hajime was now present on "tens of thousands" of devices, wrote Symantec researcher Waylon Grange in a blog.
Programs such as Hajime and Mirai must keep scouring the net for victims, because switching off a vulnerable device generally cleans out the infection.
Mr Grange noted that Hajime currently had no attack code built in so could not be used to mount the kinds of attacks Mirai had been implicated in.
The only action taken by Hajime is to regularly display a message from the worm's author on the internal interface for each device.
The message says, among other things: "Just a white hat, securing some systems."
The term "white hat" is typically applied to those hackers seeking to secure rather than exploit vulnerabilities.
Malicious or criminal hackers are known as "black hats".
"There is a question around trusting that the author is a true white hat and is only trying to secure these systems, as they are still installing their own backdoor on the system," wrote Mr Grange.
He added if the author's intentions changed they could "potentially" turn the infected devices into a "massive" attack network.
The report by UNESCO and the International Council on Monuments and Sites recognised the benefits the 1.8m (2.9km) project.
In 2014 the government announced it would commit to building a tunnel, removing the A303 from the landscape.
Historic England, the National Trust and English Heritage also support the plans.
The report highlighted the scheme's potential to become a "best practice case" for a World Heritage Site.
It said the scheme must "both protect the outstanding universal value" of the site and also "benefit road users".
At the moment the congested A303 cuts through the middle of the area.
Helen Ghosh, director general of the National Trust, said the report "recognises the unmissable opportunity" the government's road improvement scheme offers to address "the blight of the existing A303".
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, welcomed the report but said "sensitive design" would be needed.
Kate Mavor, chief executive of English Heritage, added: "Provided that it is designed and built in the right way, a tunnel would reunite the wider landscape around the ancient stones, helping people to better understand and enjoy them." | A "benign" worm is scouring the net seeking out poorly protected smart gadgets.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Ricky Miller's deflected goal had drawn an improved Dover level on aggregate.
But Keanu Marsh-Brown's curler for Forest Green, who sacked manager Ady Pennock on 27 April, sent them through.
Mark Cooper was at the New Lawn to watch Forest Green after resigning as Notts County boss earlier on Saturday and BBC Radio Nottingham reports he is set to become Rovers' new manager.
Caretaker boss Scott Bartlett has taken charge of the Gloucestershire's club's last three games - all against Dover - since Pennock was dismissed to "boost the club's chances in the play-offs".
A spirited Dover created enough chances on the night to at least force extra-time but Miller blazed wide from close range and Sam Magri struck the underside of the crossbar.
Marsh-Brown's goal was a near-replica of the quality, curling effort into the top corner from Brett Williams that had won the first leg for Forest Green, who finished second in the table in the regular season.
After the match, Rovers owner Dale Vince told BBC Radio Gloucestershire that Bartlett would take charge of the side for the final at Wembley on 15 May.
Braintree host Grimsby in the second leg of their semi-final on Sunday, leading the Mariners 1-0 from the first leg.
Forest Green Rovers caretaker boss Scott Bartlett: "The boys have been fantastic. Our preparation has been spot on all week.
"I'm calm because I know they are going to give me everything. It would take a good side to beat us.
"Dover pushed us and pushed us and pushed us. It was never comfortable. They've done well. Full credit to them."
Dover boss Chris Kinnear: "I thought we deserved something. We had so many chances. I'm just very, very disappointed, but you've got to look at the positives.
"The club is moving on steadily. I'm proud of the lads. You can't ask any more.
"Today they gave everything. But somebody has got to lose and good luck to Forest Green."
Somerset were all out for 438 as James Hildreth fell lbw to Keith Barker (4-94) for 118 and Luke Ronchi made 51.
But the visitors collapsed from 105-1 to 105-6 in the space of five overs, with 24-year-old spinner Leach claiming four of those wickets as Somerset's bowling bonus points guaranteed safety.
Warwickshire closed on 180-7.
After Hildreth failed to add to his overnight score, Leach shared a 61-run last-wicket stand with Jamie Overton (40) to ensure Somerset picked up maximum batting points, finishing unbeaten on 21.
Warwickshire captain Varun Chopra then hit an assured half-century and shared an 88-run first-wicket partnership with Ian Westwood before the latter was bowled by Leach (34).
When England batsman Ian Bell was trapped lbw by Alfonso Thomas for 12, it triggered the collapse as Leach had Chopra caught for 54 before removing Freddie Coleman, Tim Ambrose and Rikki Clarke for ducks in the space of 13 balls.
Somerset spinner Jack Leach:
"My main thoughts were on winning the match, so it was a while before I realised that taking my fifth wicket meant we were safe from relegation.
"It was quite surreal when all those wickets fell without a run being scored. The pitch was helping me a bit, but not turning a great deal.
"I also enjoyed contributing some runs to the last-wicket stand with Jamie Overton because reaching 400 was one of our main aims going into the match."
Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown:
"It was the second time this season we have lost five wickets for no runs. We did the same against Yorkshire at Edgbaston, so it was pretty disappointing for it to happen again.
"We bowled and fielded really well at the start of the day before that last-wicket partnership. Then to get to 88 for none and 105-1, to find ourselves 105-6 was very frustrating.
"It's very dry and the ball is spinning from straight. But we have a partnership between Jeetan Patel and Laurie Evans to build on and we have to learn from the way they have played." | Forest Green Rovers reached the National League promotion final with a 2-1 aggregate win over Dover Athletic.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Mr Duggan, 29, was shot by officers in Tottenham, north London, on 4 August 2011 and a gun was found nearby, a trial at the Old Bailey heard.
Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, 30, had denied selling or transferring a prohibited firearm to Mr Duggan.
Mr Duggan's death sparked riots in Tottenham, which led to disorder in a number of English cities and towns.
During the trial the jury heard Mr Duggan collected the BBM Bruni Model 92 handgun in a shoebox just 15 minutes before he was killed.
Prosecutor Edward Brown QC told the court: "The death of Mr Duggan has been regarded as the event that sparked the riots in north London, which then spread across London and then to other cities and which attracted widespread publicity in the United Kingdom and abroad."
He told the jury it was not their task to decide the "rights and wrongs" of Mr Duggan's shooting, which will be examined at the inquest into his death, set to take place in September.
Hutchinson-Foster has admitted using the same gun to beat barber Peter Osadebay at a barber's shop in Dalston, east London, just six days before Mr Duggan's death.
The defendant, a cannabis user with convictions for possession of cocaine and heroin with intent to supply, claimed Mr Duggan had wanted his help to sell some cannabis.
He said that was why his DNA was found on the gun when it was retrieved from Ferry Lane, along with traces of Mr Osadebay's blood.
According to the BBC's Danny Shaw the case has helped clarify events leading up to the shooting of Mr Duggan and the inquest into his death can now go ahead.
Armed police, who gave evidence anonymously, described how they had opened fire on Mr Duggan because they saw him get out of a taxi holding a loaded gun.
The officer responsible for the two shots that fatally wounded Mr Duggan said: "I had an honest-held belief that Mark Duggan was going to shoot me or one of my colleagues, so I brought my MP5 (sub-machine gun) up to the shooting position."
The officer, known only as V53, shot Mr Duggan in the chest and arm.
He told the jury: "Mark Duggan then fell to the floor. I then closed the suspect down."
The court heard Mr Duggan had been under police surveillance before the shooting.
A taxi driver, who also gave evidence anonymously, collected Mr Duggan from Hoxton, east London, and took him to an address in Leyton, where he saw his passenger collect a box from another man.
Asked if he could remember the events clearly, the taxi driver said: "It was such an incident that a person cannot forget about these things, even at night."
He detailed the "hard stop" carried out by police, who surrounded the cab, forcing it to halt.
Police descended on the halted minicab and the driver said he saw his passenger get out and run, followed by the gun shots.
The court heard the driver was was pulled from his cab and and forced to lie face-down on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, where he saw Mr Duggan's body lying nearby.
The driver said: "His mouth was open.
"He was bleeding from the front. They were trying to remove his clothes."
An Independent Police Complaints Commission inquiry into the shooting is on-going.
Chief Supt Dean Haydon, from the Metropolitan Police's Trident Gang Crime Command which tackles gang and gun crime, said: "The Kevin Hutchinson-Foster trial has primarily been about the supply of an illegal firearm and I welcome the verdict of the jury in this case today."
Hutchinson-Foster will be sentenced on 26 February. | A man has been found guilty of supplying a gun to Mark Duggan, who was shot dead by police. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | It begins with a question - where is the next generation of curry chefs going to come from - and ends in with another - would leaving the EU save your local Indian from closing?
Currently two or three curry restaurants are shutting every week.
Now, you may think you know the answer to where Indian chefs come from. If so think again.
For decades your "Indian" - whether a chicken tikka masala or late night vindaloo - was almost certainly cooked by a chef from Bangladesh or, perhaps, someone whose father was.
Not any more though. The voices you hear in a growing number of kitchens above the noise of the chopping and the sizzling are the voices of East Europeans - in particular Romanians.
The reason is that tougher immigration rules mean it simply costs too much for most restaurants to bring new chefs over here.
White thug poster aimed at ethnic minority voters
Polls reveal divided nation
Ethnic minorities could be key, says UKIP
A decade or so ago a curry chef would earn around £15,000 a year. Now, a restaurant has to pay almost double that as well as jumping a series of complex bureaucratic hurdles to persuade the Home Office to allow them to bring in a chef from abroad.
"Abroad" means, of course, not from outside the UK but outside the EU.
Pasha Khandakar, the president of the Bangladesh Caterers Association, told me that this was an "immigration double standard".
"We've been told by British ministers to import European Union people," he said, pointing to a "language problem, a culture problem and a smell problem." He contends that Eastern European workers dislike the smell of curries.
"We have to give chance for everyone in this world who's fit for these jobs - not for their colour, not for their geographical identity."
"Why should it be easier and cheaper to hire a Romanian to work in a curry house than a Bangladeshi?" many British Asians ask.
Why, indeed, should it be so easy for Eastern Europeans to bring their families to live with them when it is now so much harder than it once was for the families of British people with Commonwealth roots to do the same?
It is the widespread feeling that immigration rules now discriminate against them and their families which Brexit campaigners have sought to tap into.
Indeed, the employment minister and prominent Leave campaigner, Priti Patel, has claimed that a vote to quit the EU is the only way to save the curry industry.
That depends on a very big assumption. That following Brexit the British public would become so relaxed about immigration that politicians felt able to relax the immigration rules that stop low paid and low skilled workers coming here from elsewhere.
At Le Raj in Epsom - an upmarket restaurant in Surrey which is a favourite of Chris Tarrant and Heston Blumenthal - that's not how they see things.
The head chef here is a Bangladeshi. Recently he's had to brush up on his language skills - to learn not English but Romanian.
His kitchen is manned now by people who had never smelt a curry never mind cooked one before coming to work under his tutelage.
The boss of the Raj, Jeffrey Ali, is as frustrated as anyone in his industry with the current immigration rules but he tells me that he simply does not believe any politician will want "to touch relaxing the rules with a 10 foot pole".
"If immigration were to be brought down, even by half, there would still be no onus from any politician to say, 'Ok now because we have less people coming from the EU, let's bring in more people from the Commonwealth,'" said Mr Ali, who plans to vote Remain in the referendum.
Not least when unemployment is high amongst the British Bangladeshi community whose children choose, he argues, to claim benefit rather than to take the relatively low pay and long hours that their parents once worked as waiters or chefs.
Brexit, he believes, offers a false dawn for an industry that needs to do more to raise its status and to train the next generation of chefs.
Jeffrey Ali is helping to sponsor a new academy down the road to teach cooking to young British born people in the hope that one day he will not be forced to choose between immigrants he cannot afford and those who know as much about curry as he knows about Romanian cuisine.
Immigration is the main reason people who plan to Vote Leave give for their choice.
What's clear, though, is that even if we do vote to quit the EU on the 23rd June the debate about how much immigration we need and want and can afford as a country will stay firmly on the menu alongside the question - who will cook and serve my Indian in the future? | A pinch of cardamom, a little coriander and a smattering of cinnamon - all ingredients not just in a great British curry but in a political row that's been bubbling up in the kitchens of Indian restaurants up and down the country. |
Summarize the content given in the passage. | The 73-year old author of I Dreamed of Africa was injured in an ambush at her conservation park on Sunday.
Ms Gallmann's family said she was in intensive care at a Nairobi hospital.
She endured a seven-hour operation after being airlifted there for treatment.
"We have recovered a gun which is now undergoing ballistic tests to confirm whether it was the gun used to shoot Kuki," Joseph Nkaissery, Kenya's interior minister, told a news conference.
He did not say how many suspects had been detained.
While Mr Nkaissery described the attack as an "isolated" act of banditry, the Laikipia region where it happened has seen a wave of violence in recent weeks.
As well as the Laikipia Nature Conservancy, Ms Gallman ran a luxury safari lodge that was burned down last month by suspected cattle herders.
Herders have been invading private property in the drought-hit area in search of fresh grazing land.
British rancher Tristan Voorspuy, who also ran a safari company, was shot dead in early March while inspecting his lodges in Laikipia.
The region, which covers about 10,000 sq km in Kenya's central highlands, is home to some of the country's largest white landowners.
At least a dozen civilians and police officers have died in the violence there, and tens of thousands of head of cattle are thought to have been driven on to private land.
The BBC's Alastair Leithead tried to approach herders last month to ask about their grievances, but was forced to retreat when they shot at him.
Are Kenya ranch invasions driven by drought or politics?
There is no confirmation of who carried out the attack on Ms Gallmann, who was reportedly shot in the stomach.
Ms Gallmann owns about 360 sq km in Laikipia. Her organisation also runs community, education, arts and sports projects.
Born in Italy, she moved to Kenya in 1972 with her husband and son, who both subsequently died in separate accidents. She later became a Kenyan citizen.

An FSF statement read: "Diouf is banned from performing any football-related activity for a period of five years."
Diouf reacted angrily to the FSF's claims that he had failed to appear for a disciplinary hearing last week.
The committee wanted to ask the Blackburn striker about comments he had made on Radio France International, claiming that "the whole system of African football is corrupt".
The federation claimed Diouf had been called to a hearing on 20 July, but the Blackburn forward insisted he had heard nothing of it.
Diouf is banned from performing any football-related activity for a period of five years
He subsequently told French magazine Stade he would "go to war" with the FSF if they took further action.
It remains possible, according to the FSF, that the decision could be reversed if Diouf were to appear before the disciplinary committee.
The news comes as Diouf's club career hangs in the balance.
He has been fined by Blackburn for failing to report on time for pre-season training, and was left out for their pre-season tour to Hong Kong.
Manager Steve Kean said in an interview this week that he thought it was time for Diouf to leave the club, indicating that enquiries have been made by other clubs.

In a security advisory, the internet hardware maker said whoever wrote the code would be able to use it to spy on encrypted conversations.
Juniper has released patches to strip the code out of its firewall software and urged customers to apply them.
The code was found in Juniper's ScreenOS software with which many large firms using its hardware keep an eye on data traffic entering and exiting their networks.
Juniper's routers and network switches are widely used in ISPs and by many large corporates.
An internal code review revealed that ScreenOS was harbouring the unwanted passenger, said the firm. No information was given about where the code came from or how it found its way into the firewall's core software.
The range of products affected suggests that the extra software has been lurking inside different versions of ScreenOS since 2012.
Juniper added that it had no evidence that the loopholes the code opened were being actively exploited.
It said it took the matter "very seriously" and had quickly produced software patches to remove the rogue code.
"We strongly recommend that all customers update their systems and apply these patched releases as soon as possible," said Bob Worrall, Juniper's chief information officer.
In a separate notice, Juniper provided more details about what was possible if the unauthorised code was used. One section gives attackers remote administrative access to a device and would let them hide any evidence of tampering.

But few of those tales have been more remarkable than that of Brighton & Hove Albion, whose promotion to the top flight was confirmed with victory over Wigan on Monday.
BBC Sport speaks to pundits, players and manager Chris Hughton about the Premier League newcomers who, just 20 years ago, were battling to stay in the Football League.
It took until the very last day of the 1996-97 season before Brighton could breathe easy, as a 1-1 draw with Hereford secured their league status.
Despite the result, Brighton's former owners went ahead with the sale of their old Goldstone Ground, leaving the club to share Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium for two seasons.
The club then moved back to Brighton, playing at the Withdean Stadium - a site not originally built for football - before finally switching to their current Amex Stadium home in 2011 under the ownership of Tony Bloom.
"What happened on Monday is just the sensational fulfilment of so many people's dreams," said BBC pundit Mark Clemmit.
"The one name I keep thinking about is Dick Knight, who sort of galvanised everybody in 1997, because don't forget not only did they nearly go out of the league, but they lost their stadium then as well.
"The owners at the time kind of pulled it from under the club, and have never ever been forgiven by the supporters.
"It was Dick Knight who picked it up by the bootstraps, plus several others that accompanied him - but he was the majority shareholder."
Brighton had looked destined to complete their journey from bottom to top 12 months ago, but a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough on the final day of the regular season meant they missed out on goal difference.
Further disappointment was to follow, as their hopes of reaching the Premier League were dashed with a 3-1 aggregate loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the play-off semi-finals.
It was not an unfamiliar feeling for Seagulls fans, who had suffered defeat at the same stage in both 2013 and 2014.
"I'm incredibly proud of the way they've bounced back - but there are no surprises," Hughton, 58, told BBC Sussex. "We've got a group of lads that are capable of doing it, but being capable of doing it and doing it are two different things.
"They've been good all season. They've bounced back, they've shown a really good determination and a real desire to want to win as many games as possible."
Brighton captain Bruno added: "It's been five years now for me and it's been hard because we were really close to getting promoted for three seasons.
"Last season was tough for us and we were really close - but this season we've been outstanding."
Hughton is no stranger to the Premier League, having guided Newcastle to Championship promotion in 2010, then led Norwich to an 11th-place finish in the top flight in the 2012-13 season.
The former Republic of Ireland defender has turned Brighton into one of the defensively strongest sides in the Championship since taking over in December 2014, keeping 47 clean sheets in 111 league games in charge.
"When you look at where Chris has been, he's done really well everywhere he's gone," said former Republic team-mate pundit Mark Lawrenson, now a BBC pundit.
"Because he's quiet, people sort of assume that he's a nice bloke and that people can ride roughshod over him - but you can't.
"There's a real steely determination in there and I think as he's gone from job to job he's embraced the way football's changed."
Hughton's success comes despite only taking his first managerial role in 2009, when he replaced Alan Shearer as Newcastle boss.
"I think a lot of people, for a long time, had him marked down as an assistant or a coach," added Clemmit.
"He's already won one title with Newcastle United, he's got another team promoted, and then in his other two full seasons in the Championship he took Birmingham to the play-offs and he took Brighton to the play-offs.
"Even during the celebrations yesterday, you could see he was containing it. He was modest enough not to get involved in the players' celebrations, one eye on getting the title over the line.
"There'd be some justice as well in that, wouldn't there? Norwich, one of the teams that dismissed him, that didn't see the merits of letting him have a proper long-term go, is where he could secure the title on Friday."
The bond Hughton has helped to create at Brighton this year has been tested by adversity off the field.
In November, French winger Anthony Knockaert's father died, prompting at least 10 of his team-mates and Hughton to travel to France to offer support at the funeral.
The 25-year-old has responded in sterling fashion on the field, contributing 15 goals on his way to being crowned Championship Player of the Year.
"It has been the best thing I have seen in football, to come all the way from England to the funeral," he said in December.
"It means a lot for me and my family and I will never forget it."
Brighton have also dealt with the absence of defender Connor Goldson, who had heart surgery after routine cardiac screening discovered a defect in December.
"Obviously there have been things the whole season that have brought us even closer together, but we're a close group anyway no matter what happens," the 24-year-old told BBC Sussex.
"That's why we're always here for each other. Obviously things happen in life, and what happened with Anthony's dad was a sad moment for him.
"With me this year, obviously I wasn't needed, but we all pulled together, we're all a team.
"We're all a team of friends and that's what gets us to where we are."
While securing the Championship title with victory at Carrow Road on Friday is the immediate aim, Hughton and Bloom can now start preparing for life in the top tier.
While some teams might look to splash the cash in pursuit of Premier League survival, Hughton appears to favour a more cautious approach.
"The only way to do it is to recruit sensibly, to not put the club in a position where you're going well above your means," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"There is a huge gap between what you need to pay for players in the Championship and the fees that are demanded for Premier League players.
"What we've got to do is to try to make sure that we get that balance right."
Now, only four months from starting their Premier League campaign, 20 years on from being on the brink of disaster, where do the club go from here?
"The great thing for them is that because of the new training ground, and because of the actual ground, they are ready and set up for the Premier League," said Lawrenson, a former Brighton player.
"So if they can just survive, in inverted commas, that first season in the Premier League, I do think they're a club that will push on from there." | The story of a team rising from the bottom tier of England's Football League to the top is an increasingly familiar one, with Hull, Swansea and Bournemouth among the most recent examples. |
Summarize the content provided below. | Thomas Conington, 29, started a fire at the Central Mosque last September, causing minor damage. No one was hurt.
He earlier pleaded guilty to a string of crimes including wilful fire-raising aggravated by religious prejudice.
At the High Court in Glasgow, Lord Burns imposed an Order for Lifelong Restriction. Conington must serve at least three years and nine months.
Conington had already started a fire at the mosque a year earlier.
Lord Burns said he appeared to be someone who "relishes violence".
He said: "As stated, you are a bigot and have a long history of behaviour of that nature.
"The risk assessment gives a chilling insight to your attitude towards ethnic minorities.
"You appear to be someone who relishes violence and may attack strangers randomly and without reason.
"The risk is a high one and the public require protection from you for a very long time."
He also said it was "fortunate" no one was hurt during the incident at the mosque in the capital's Potterow.
However, Lord Burns added the courts will do what they can to "protect" those who attend places of worship.
Shaven-headed Conington raised a middle-finger to those seated in the public gallery as he was led to the cells.
The court earlier heard Conington described as a "racist individual".
Matthew Auchincloss, defending, added: "He was acting alone. He was not trying to further any cause or was part of any wider philosophy.
"He was not acting on instruction. This is a very disturbed young man."
Det Insp Grant Johnston, of Police Scotland, said: "Conington specifically targeted Edinburgh's Islamic community by attacking the mosque.

When Mr Buhari took office in May, he vowed to tackle the six-year Islamist insurgency "head on".
He has made a boosted multinational force of 8,700 central to his strategy in tackling the crisis.
BBC Africa Live: News updates
At least 17,000 people have been killed since Boko Haram launched its insurgency in northern Nigeria 2009, according to Amnesty International.
Although the militants have lost their strongholds, they are still active and there has been an upsurge in suicide attacks since Mr Buhari took office.
There have also been more attacks in neighbouring states.
The BBC's Randy Joe Sa'ah in Cameroon says suspected Boko Haram militants killed five villagers and a soldier on Wednesday night.
The militants entered the village of Lame, near the town of Fotokol in the Far North region, almost silently using horses and bicycles, a military source said.
They burnt down homes and schools and managed to escape before army commanders arrived at the scene.
President Buhari - a former army general - reiterated that the new military chiefs would be expected to work closely with neighbours Chad, Cameroon and Niger in fighting Boko Haram.
He said he would give troops the necessary resources to achieve the "feat".
But the president urged the armed forces to abide by the law when fighting the militants.
"In particular you must protect innocent civilians and respect the rights of combatants," he said.
The US has refused to sell arms to Nigeria, citing human rights abuses.
Two of the commanders Mr Buhari has appointed - Maj Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai, and the National Security Adviser, Maj Gen Babagana Monguno - are from north-eastern Borno state, which is at the heart of the conflict.
Analysts say the president hopes this will enable them to have a good handle on what is needed to end the violence.

He had raced in a cycling time trial event at 07:30 BST but was ready at the triathlon start line for 11:00 BST.
Halksworth's time of one hour, 58 minutes and 34 seconds was easily enough to win it.
"It was pretty painful," he told BBC Radio Jersey.
"I'm not exactly in the best triathlon shape I've ever been in, but I had a good swim, the bike was strong and I kind of held on in the run.
"I managed to swallow a bit of seaweed, which was a bit weird and pretty disgusting."
Halksworth was convinced by organisers to defend his title despite officially retiring from triathlons last year to focus on cycling and making the Commonwealth Games.
Fellow Jersey-man Tom Perchard was second, while Jo Gorrod retained the women's title as the race reached its climax in heavy rain.
"It keeps conditions cool but you have to be a bit careful on the bike," said Gorrod.
"It's a great atmosphere down here, lots of people have come out to watch despite the poor conditions. It wasn't much fun on the bike and it was getting quite cold."

Please summarize the passage below. | Suzanne Williams' husband Brian died in 2007 when a barrier swung into his van.
She contacted MPs after hearing of the case of William Page, who died in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, last year when a barrier smashed on to his windscreen.
An MP told Mrs Williams the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) did not see a need for the barriers to be banned.
Mr Page's inquest heard he was driving out of an industrial estate when a barrier swung into his van. He had not inserted a pin into the barrier to keep it open.
The 22-year-old had told his family he was going to be a father the day before the accident.
In 2007, university professor Mr Williams had stepped in for Mrs Williams, who was pregnant with their third child, to help a local girl guides group on a night hike in Darley Dale.
Mrs Williams, from Holloway, said someone else had gone past the car park's swing barrier - which was not fixed in an open position - just before Mr Williams went to drive through.
"It was a windy night...the wind had obviously picked up and he just didn't see it," she said. "It went straight up the bonnet, through the windscreen and impaled him."
The case was never investigated by the HSE due to the accident occurring on private land, according to Mrs Williams.
Mrs Williams contacted Transport Secretary and local MP Patrick McLoughlin, and again after Mr Page's death, but was told through a letter from Local Government Minister Marcus Jones MP in December that the HSE "does not see a need for this type of barrier to be banned".
After finding out about Mr Page's death, Mrs Williams, who cited similar deaths in south Wales, Scunthorpe and America, said: "It felt like Brian had died in vain.
"How many deaths is it going to take? There are alternative means of securing car parks.
"They're dangerous and they're killing people."
An HSE spokeswoman said the location of the swing barrier determines who investigates a case.
The watchdog regulates barriers on the likes of construction sites and industrial estates, whereas other locations - such as barriers on supermarket car parks - are the responsibility of the local authority, she added.
Seven people were arrested after a demonstration and march to the Eastern Docks and a separate protest in the town centre on 30 January.

The road was named after Clough in 2005 as it links Nottingham and Derby, where he managed two football teams.
Clough fan Kal Singh Dhindsa pleaded for the signs to be returned, adding Cloughie would not have been happy.
Mr Singh Dhindsa , who previously campaigned for a statue of Clough and his assistant Peter Taylor at Pride Park Stadium in Derby, said the signs were part of the region's history and heritage.
"As much of a fan of Brian Clough as I am, I would never consider stealing them," he said.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | The Claim: The downward pressure on wages is a trend that will only get worse if we continue to have open borders with the EU.
Reality Check verdict: Migration does appear to have put pressure on wages, but there is some evidence that leaving the EU would reduce them even more.
His assertion that immigration has put pressure on wages is supported by a paper from the Bank of England last year.
It found that the area in which there had been the greatest effect on wages had been for semi-skilled and unskilled workers in the services sector, where a 10 percentage point increase in the proportion of immigrants working in the sector would be associated with a 1.88% reduction in pay.
A 10 percentage point increase in immigrants working in a sector is a lot. The latest labour market figures from the Office for National Statistics estimated that between 1997 and 2015, the proportion of non-UK nationals working in the UK rose from 3.8% to 10.2%, an increase of 6.4 percentage points over 18 years.
But a report from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) came out on the same day as Mr Duncan Smith's speech.
It tried to forecast what would happen to real wages if the UK left the EU.
In a central scenario, involving reverting to World Trade Organization rules but with no impact on productivity, it predicted that by 2030, real wages would be between 4.6% and 6.3% lower than they would be if we stayed in.
We have warned in the past about the problems with economic modelling in general, and a particular problem with this model is that, as in the Treasury's model, it does not take into account any impact that leaving the EU would have on levels of migration.
Even so, it suggests that the amount that wages would be reduced by the loss of economic growth predicted by the model would dwarf the effect of falling migration if the Bank of England's model is correct.

A crocodile of youngsters on an excursion is accompanied by two teachers. The teachers have walkie-talkies. At pick-up time, six soldiers with machine guns stand by.
These are Israeli levels of security. At the nearby office of the CRIF (the official non-religious Jewish representation), a Jewish security team mans the entrance. More soldiers patrol outside the synagogue around the corner.
No-one thinks this is overkill. It is simply what life is like now for a Jew in urban France.
In Marseille, security antennae are especially sensitive after a knife attack two weeks ago on a Jewish teacher.
Benjamin Amsellem said he was able to look into his attacker's eyes - it was a 15-year-old Muslim boy of Kurdish origin - and "I have no doubt at all that he wanted to kill me. His look was one of hate."
The boy subsequently told investigators that he was proud of what he had done, but ashamed that he had failed to kill.
The attack sparked a nationwide debate after Zvi Ammar, the senior Jewish religious figure in Marseille, said maybe it was time Jewish men stopped wearing skullcaps - or kippas - on the street. Simply as a measure of self-preservation.
Some Jewish leaders in Paris said this was tantamount to surrender.
But in Marseille I was told that the question of the kippa has long since been settled. And the answer is quite clear: better discreet than dead.
Outside the Gan Ami school, three 14-year-olds showed me the kippas which - once out on the street - they keep in the pockets of their backpacks.
They all had clear instructions from their parents to go bare-headed when in public, or to wear a baseball cap.
At the Ougat patisserie - where mothers gather ahead of pick-up - Stephanie, Corinne and Deborah shared their anxieties.
"Every day I have the same gut fear," said Corinne. "It was never like this before. But now when I wave to the children on their way to school with their father, I feel the wrench in my stomach."
"In the last two years, the situation has deteriorated very badly," according to Deborah. "In my own country, I feel more and more unsafe.
"When I go to Auchan (supermarket), my kid sees these women covered head to foot in veils - and he's scared.
"We used to say it's just a tiny minority of Muslims. I am not so sure any more. The new generation are steeped in it. They are brought up to hate us. It's social media, I suppose."
Corinne says that "a few years ago - do you remember? - you used to be able to go around showing the Magen David (Star of David). No-one even noticed. Now who would dare?
"We all know Muslims. Of course we do. When I was a girl I had a Muslim friend who came on sleepovers. But now I look at the woman who helps in my house - who I have known for years - and I say to myself, 'What is she really thinking?'"

Lunch in the CRIF (it stands for Representative Council of Jewish Institutions) brings a hearty helping of chicken, and a hearty helping of Jewish chat.
"Do you know that in the really dodgy neighbourhoods of Marseille - in the 14th and 15th districts where there are all these drugs murders - there is no problem of extremist Islam," says CRIF president Michele Teboul.
"Why? Because the drugs lords make sure any radical preacher is sent packing. They know that where the preachers go, French intelligence follows - and they don't want French intelligence snooping around on their patch.
"So Arab drugs gangs are stopping Arab jihadis. It is not exactly reassuring."
Today talk is of the successful Holocaust Day event which has just been held, in which children (of all denominations) staged an evening of readings and dance.
According to Michele Teboul's friend Edith, it was a very moving occasion - only marred by a young Muslim child whose text "had to include a reference to what the Israelis are doing in Gaza. Why?"
Michele tells the tale of how she led a delegation to Israel, and after months of work had a deal ready to be signed twinning a Marseille lycee with a secondary school in Haifa - only for the scheme to be nixed by the teaching body at the French school.
She says it is hard to reach out to the Muslim community in Marseille. "Sometimes an imam comes for a meeting, to talk about Jewish-Muslim relations. But they always refuse to be photographed with a Jew. They are afraid of their own extremists."
For all of Marseille's 70,000 Jews, the question of whether or not to make "aliyah" (emigrate to Israel) is more and more acute. Everyone knows families who have gone.
But many Marseille Jews have been in France for generations. Those who came from North Africa in the 1960s do not particularly want to pick up and leave again.
For Michele Teboul, all the recent violence is encouraging a "repli sur soi".
The French expression means "falling back on one self" and is generally held to be a bad thing. The French ideal is a society without communities.
But against a growing physical threat, Marseille Jews feel the need to assert their identity. Maybe not in public - the kippa makes them a target - but privately.
"You know when I go to Israel, I let it all hang out. I drive on Saturdays, I don't keep kosher," says Michele Teboul. "It's because in Israel there is no need to say - look, I'm Jewish."
"But back here in Marseille, it is the opposite. Here we need to remember who we are." | No photographs of the Gan Ami Jewish school in the sixth district of Marseille will accompany this article. |

His brother Perry, 21, and father Paul, 55, were also allegedly confronted by Tommy Roome and Tarrell Hinds.
Both deny Mr Hayden's murder and the attempted murder of his father.
Old Bailey jurors were told the minder confronted the defendants, then aged 19, while dressed only in a pair of boxers outside his home on 13 September last year.

Jurors heard the defendants had gone to Gibbfield Close to look for two other brothers - Carter and Latham Jordan - with whom Mr Roome was involved in an ongoing dispute.
"As it turned out, their trip to Gibbfield Close resulted in a violent confrontation, not with the Jordans but with a different pair of brothers, Ricky and Perry Hayden and their father Paul," Mr Rees said.
"It appears that confrontation came about because the Haydens believed that Tommy Roome and Tarrell Hinds had designs on Perry Hayden's moped which was parked directly outside the front door of the Haydens' home address."
Mr Roome, also known as Aaron and from Chadwell Heath, and Mr Hinds, who is nicknamed Ghost and from Chigwell, also face an alternative charge of wounding Mr Hayden's father with intent.
Both deny all charges.
A third defendant, Kevin Malamba, 20, of Southwark, south London, has previously admitted perverting the course of justice, jurors were told.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | Jones missed March's Dutch Open and the Presidents Cup in Germany earlier this month due to a knee injury.
The 22-year-old will return to action in the German Open on Sunday.
"I can't wait to get stuck in the competition," Jones told BBC Wales Sport.
"I am really glad to be back in full time training and injury free now.
"In the whole scheme of injuries it is not that big a deal, it is only a little niggle, but it was my first ever injury and the fact that if I carried on training I could have made it worse.
"It was not worth risking for the Olympics so it was better to get it strong and get it back to normal, for the sake of missing a couple of competition."
The German Open is preparation for the European Taekwondo Championships in Switzerland in May and Jones hopes she will get up to six fights in her -57kg category over the weekend.
"I just need as many fights as I can really, because the team have already been to two competitions and have had lots of fights," Jones said.
"They have also had two training camps and had loads of sparring so I have literally have done no sparring so I just need to get as much as I can."
Jones won gold in the 2015 European Games in Baku after beating Croatia's Ana Zaninovic, and now hopes to be selected to defend her Olympic title in Rio this summer.
"I am really confident I think I have done enough to prove that it is my place and my spot and I just need to keep fit and in form now," Jones added.
"Every competition I go in I only going for gold and it will be a disappointment for anything less.
"I really believe I can do it again so it is just about doing it on the day and going for it."

Can you write a short summary of this section? | Defence technology company QinetiQ has signed a contract to use Llanbedr, near Harlech, Gwynedd, for drone tests.
Llanbedr Airfield Estates (LAE) said its 2,300m runway can handle larger drones than Aberporth, Ceredigion.
The base employed 130 people before it closed in 2004 and currently has limited use for private landings.
Built in 1938 and used during World War Two, the airfield was used for drone testing by the military before it closed.
In 2011 the Welsh government as owner of the site was granted new permission to test and develop unmanned aerial vehicles.
LAE partner Lee Paul said the deal signed with QinetiQ this month is expected to bring jobs to the site from next year.
He said: "We are in discussions with a number of potential operators at the moment and hope to bring the first ones in in early 2014.
"You have to have people on site to operate them. This could be temporarily for testing and evaluation or if may be longer term if they wish to develop and test them here.
"It's really just an extension of its historical uses and current activity."
When this month's deal was announced, Economy Minister Edwina Hart said: "Llanbedr Airfield has the capacity to significantly increase Wales' capability in the [unmanned aerial systems] arena and its strategic importance was acknowledged by the Welsh government when it was included within the boundaries of Snowdonia Enterprise Zone."
QinetiQ operates the military range radars in Aberporth where the National Aeronautical Centre (NAC) conducts drone research and testing at West Wales Airport.
In the last decade Aberporth has become a centre of excellence for the latest drone technology.
The Labor Department said its core Consumer Price Index increased 2% last month. It was the third month that the core CPI increased by that much.
US prices including fuel and food were up 0.5% annually in November.
The US central bank's Federal Open Market Committee will on Tuesday begin a two day meeting to set rates.
It targets 2% inflation but uses the price index for personal consumption expenditures, or PCE index, which is running below the core CPI.
Still, the Fed is expected to raise its benchmark overnight interest rate from near zero at the end of the meeting on Wednesday, encouraged by a strengthening labour market.
CPI data showed that rent, airline fares, new motor vehicles and medical care all increased in price. Those gains were weighed down by low prices for petrol.
Earlier this month data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggested that US jobs growth remained solid in November as the economy added 211,000 jobs, slightly above expectations.
The data also showed the jobless rate held at its seven-and-a-half year low of 5%.
Those jobs stats showed that the construction, food services and retail sectors all saw healthy job increases.
Bury's Quigg will put his WBA belt on the line against Belfast's Frampton, the IBF champion, at Manchester Arena.
Both men are unbeaten, making it the most eagerly-anticipated domestic match-up for some time.
"I've got the better skills, I'm the better fighter and nobody lives like I do," Quigg, 27, told BBC Sport.
"People can say they are dedicated and focused - and they might be. But they don't come close to the way I live.
"I rate him very highly as a fighter. There are good things he does - he can punch, he can box, he didn't become world champion for nothing.
"But he has many flaws. Some of them he showed in his last fight against Alejandro Gonzalez. And there are many more I can capitalise on."
Rivalry adds spice to fight - Frampton
Frampton, 29, was heavily favoured to beat Quigg before being knocked down twice by unheralded Mexican Gonzalez last July.
On the same day, Quigg demolished Kiko Martinez, who took Frampton the distance when they met the previous September.
"Me knocking out Kiko Martinez and him having a below-par performance against Gonzalez has built it even more," said Quigg, who has 31 wins and two draws from 33 pro fights.
"It's been talked about since I became British champion, building for four-and-a-half years.
"This is the biggest fight that either of us will ever be in and it is the perfect time for it to happen."
Frampton, who has 21 wins from as many fights, is a narrow favourite with the bookmakers.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | The coalition says 800 militants were killed in the first hours of a joint operation across the south of Yemen.
But Mukalla residents said there had been little fighting in the city, with the militants apparently withdrawing.
Al-Qaeda's local offshoot has taken advantage of Yemen's civil war to seize territory, weapons and money.
Over the past 13 months, pro-government and coalition forces have focused on battling Houthi rebels and military units loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
More than 6,400 people, half of them civilians, have been killed in the conflict, while almost 2.8 million others have been displaced, according to the UN.
On Monday, the coalition command announced that the Yemeni army and Saudi and UAE special forces had launched an operation against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

They aimed to clear cities and towns controlled by AQAP, the most of important of which was Mukalla, and bring them under the government's control, it said.
The operation "resulted in its first hours in the killing of more than 800 elements of al-Qaeda and a number of their leaders and that the rest of them fled", SPA added.
Residents and local officials said about 2,000 Yemeni and Emirati troops had advanced into Mukalla on Sunday, swiftly taking control of its seaport, oil terminal and airport, and setting up checkpoints.
AQAP militants initially asked people to support them as they confronted "the invaders", but by nightfall they had quietly withdrawn from the city, the New York Times reported.
A local security official told the Wall Street Journal the militants had decided to pull out of Mukalla and flee westwards towards Shabwa province following mediation by Muslim clerics.
Mukalla, which is home to as many as 500,000 people, was AQAP's stronghold in Yemen and some 1,000 militants were based there.
Earlier this month, the Reuters news agency cited two senior Yemeni security officials as saying that when AQAP captured the city last April it seized $100m (£69m) from the local branch of the central bank.
Over the next year, the jihadist group reportedly extorted a further $1.4m from the national oil company and earned up to $2m a day by imposing customs duties on goods coming into Mukalla's port and smuggling fuel.
A tribal leader and two senior officials told Reuters AQAP had even sought permission from the government to export oil in October and collect a share of the profits. However, the government rejected the deal, they said.
AQAP and the rival jihadist group, Islamic State, are excluded from the ceasefire between the government and Houthi movement that took effect on 10 April and paved the way for UN-brokered peace talks in Kuwait.
The US considers AQAP as one of the deadliest offshoots of the jihadist network founded by Osama Bin Laden. The group attempted to bomb a US-bound airliner in 2009 and said it was behind the attack on the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris last year that left 12 people dead. | The Yemeni port city of Mukalla, controlled by al-Qaeda militants for a year, has been recaptured by Yemeni and Saudi-led coalition forces. |
Summarize the following content briefly. | The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) said the vote "was neither inclusive nor representative".
The October election for president of the semi-autonomous archipelago was cancelled half way through the count.
The opposition boycotted the re-run in March which incumbent President Mohamed Ali Shein won with 91% of the vote.
The money was intended to be spent on improving the availability and reliability of electricity in rural areas.
This was in addition to $700m the US had given to the Tanzanian government in 2008 to improve transport, energy and water.
Last year, the Africa Development Bank said that as few as 11% of people in rural Tanzania were connected to electricity, and noted that women were disproportionately affected as they tended to be responsible for getting household food, fuel and water.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Augustine Mahiga told the BBC that he was surprised that the MCC had not taken into account the huge strides Tanzania had taken in democracy.
It was people in villages with no electricity who would suffer most from their cut in funds, he added.
In the statement announcing the cancellation, the MCC said the Tanzanian government had gone ahead with the re-run of the election "despite the repeated concerns of the US government and the international community".
The opposition Civic United Front (CUF) said the annulment was because it had won, but the electoral commission said there had been widespread fraud.
The MCC also said Tanzania's government had failed to guarantee that the newly passed Cybercrimes Act "would not be used to limit freedom of expression and association, in light of arrests made during the elections".
One of the people arrested ahead of the election was the CUF's director of mass communication and publicity, Hamad Masoud Hamad, although it is unclear what he was charged with.
The Cybercrimes Act makes spreading lies, sedition and pornographic material online illegal.
Critics say it is intended to silence voice critical of the government and ruling party.
Mr Mahiga said the act was necessary to fight terrorism.
This is a blow to President John Magufuli's efforts on development as he was expecting this money to bring electricity to more people.
However, he has used this as opportunity to criticise foreign aid.
"We need to stand on our own. Work hard so that Tanzanians can get rid of donor dependence," he told a rally on Tuesday.
President Magufuli has won praise for his anti-corruption crusade since coming to office in November.
Whenever he talks about this, he points out that Tanzania is capable of running projects without any foreign aid if only corruption could be eliminated and public funds used for their intended purposes.
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) said the MDA Products Ltd items had been repackaged in unapproved premises.
It also said they may have "best before" or "use by" dates that had been extended beyond those set by the manufacturers and should not be eaten.
Home Bargains and Factory Foods are among the shops known to sell them.
They have also been sold by Frozen Value Ltd, trading as Fultons Foods and Jack Fultons.
FSS said it had issued a Food Alert for Action (Fafa) to the heads of environmental health services at Scottish councils.
In a statement, the agency said the products, mostly chicken and fish, were the subject of "a number of labelling and traceability contraventions".
It added: "They may have 'best before' or 'use by' dates that have been extended beyond those set by the manufacturers and without authorisation. They are not compliant with food law requirements and should be withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers.
"Despite investigations by the enforcement authorities, it has not been possible to obtain the full distribution details or product traceability record for these products."

Can you provide a summary of this content? | Newly released documents show the ex-prime minister lobbied officials for recognition of Savile's charity work.
But mandarins rebuffed her requests, citing Savile's "manner of life" and fears he might exploit the honour.
Savile, a friend of the former PM, was ultimately knighted in 1990.
The previously secret documents were obtained by the Sun newspaper following a Freedom of Information request.
The Cabinet Office said there was no indication in them that the prime minister or any officials know about the allegations of sexual abuse and paedophilia against Savile - which emerged in full after his death in 2011.
The heavily redacted papers show that Lady Thatcher first wrote to Sir Robert Armstrong, the most senior civil servant in the country at the time and chair of the honours committee, about the issue of a knighthood for Savile in 1983.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Sir Robert vetoed the idea, saying it was too soon after "unfortunate revelations" in which the entertainer had boasted to the media of having sex with women he met while running charity marathons.
The prime minister raised the matter again just months later but Sir Robert said "lurid details" were unlikely to be have been forgotten and it "would be best if Mr Savile were to wait a little longer".
"We remain worried," he added. "Fears have been expressed that Mr Savile might not be able to refrain from exploiting a knighthood in a way which brought the honours system into disrepute."
After further requests were also turned down, the prime minister's private secretary Nigel Wicks wrote to Sir Robert in 1986 saying that she was "most disappointed that Mr Savile's name has not been recommended".
He added: "She [Thatcher] wonders how many more times his name is to be pushed aside, especially in view of all the great work he had done for Stoke Mandeville [hospital]."
At the time, the government was leading a high-profile promotional campaign warning about the dangers of Aids and Sir Robert wrote back stating that Savile's acknowledged "sexual promiscuity" should not be encouraged.
"The case of Jimmy Savile is difficult. Mr Savile is a strange and complex man. He deserves high praise for the lead he offers in giving quiet background help to the sick. But he has made no attempt to deny the accounts in the press about his private life."
Sir Robert's successor, Sir Robin Butler, refused another request from No 10 in 1987, suggesting that to honour Savile would "not benefit the honours system in the eyes of the public".
He wrote: "My committee and I still fear that his manner of life - on his own confession - has been such that a high award for him would be an unhelpful signal when we are still grappling with an Aids problem which threatens to intensify."
The documents released cover all correspondence between ministers and civil servants on the issue.
They do not shed any light on why, after repeated refusals, Savile was finally awarded a knighthood in 1990 - weeks after Lady Thatcher stood down as PM.
The Cabinet Office initially refused the FOI request, citing concerns about the potential impact of publication on continuing investigations into alleged abuse by Savile at hospitals, care homes and on BBC premises.
The Sun appealed against the decision and the Information Commissioner ruled that there was a "compelling public interest" to release the files.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "There is no indication in the papers that anything was known then about the allegations that have subsequently come to light about Jimmy Savile. The honours process was followed in accordance with the system at the time."
A report earlier this year detailed 214 crimes recorded against Savile across 28 police force areas spanning several decades.
More than 90 people - who are among 450 alleged victims of abuse - are pursuing legal action against the broadcaster's estate and his former employers in the wake of the revelations.
Previously released correspondence showed that Savile wrote to Lady Thatcher in 1980 and she subsequently invited him to Chequers. The PM regularly attended New Year's Eve parties thrown by the broadcaster.
Savile raised £30m for good causes and was awarded an OBE in 1971. | Senior civil servants repeatedly warned Margaret Thatcher about the risks of giving Jimmy Savile a knighthood in the 1980s, one describing the broadcaster as a "strange and complex man". |
Summarize this article briefly. | They will play five Tests against India - the world's number one ranked team - in hot, stifling conditions and on pitches which are sure to suit the home side's spin bowlers.
It's been suggested by some that England face a 5-0 whitewash. That's an easy thing to say but there's no doubt they will have it tough.
Hopefully they will show enough to change the opinion of the doomsayers. For that to happen, however, they need a number of factors to go their way...
England's top order must produce and find a way of scoring first-innings runs, which didn't happen in Bangladesh.
Debutant Haseeb Hameed will open the batting and Ben Duckett move to four in place of Gary Ballance, who has been dropped.
Ballance averaged just six in the two Tests in Bangladesh and, such is the importance of the number four spot in the team, England need somebody who is contributing.
This tour is a notch up from the previous one to Bangladesh, and it's going to be harder.
Only those who can find their own way through it are going to survive. Those who can't do it will fall by the wayside.
James Anderson is back with the squad after recovering from injury, but he will not play in the first Test.
Instead, England will probably play three seamers (Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes) and three spinners (Moeen, Adil Rashid and Gareth Batty).
I had my first look at the pitch on Monday and it had more grass than I expected. It's a fresh pitch which hasn't been used before, and it's not as worn as I expected either.
Everything about the stadium in Rajkot is impressive - the nets and facilities are outstanding.
However it's 15 miles out of town and that will mean people won't come to watch it - how are they supposed to get out here? That aside, it's a well-appointed stadium.
I hope it will host a pitch which is typical of this part of the world, but one which will last five days.
If that's the case, England's bowling attack must bowl with control. Both the spinners and seamers must bowl maidens and build pressure.
That would help England take advantage of any complacency and mistakes by the Indian batsmen, who may try to make a statement by going after Moeen or Rashid.
The toss is very important and, unfortunately for England, Alastair Cook doesn't have a great record of winning them. By contrast, India captain Virat Kohli seems to win them all.
That isn't really something England can control, however. It makes no difference to the fact England must score runs in their first innings.
They have to go out there and fight harder than they've ever done before for each and every session.
There are some things which England can point to as positives: the fact India are missing one or two players through injury, that the hosts are not as experienced in Test cricket as you might expect, and that it might take them time to get used to using the Decision Review System (DRS) effectively.
But India are determined to cement their place as number one in the world and desperately want the ranking points England hold by virtue of their success in the last series played between the two sides.
Broad will play in his 100th Test here, which is a phenomenal achievement for a man who only started bowling fast when he was 17.
I have known Stuart for a long time and, on a personal note, I am chuffed for him and his family.
As he showed in the first Test in Bangladesh, he still produces incredible spells of bowling - whether it's because his dander is up, because he's cross, or purely because he is needed to stand up by the team. He just knows how to find that extra gear.
He also knows how to have a joke with the travelling press corps.
Stuart was one of the England team who revelled in Alastair Cook catching me having a pedicure.
I had only nipped in for a haircut so my heart sank when I saw Cook coming through the door. The players have enjoyed a good laugh at my expense but that's all part of the fun of touring.
I've yet to catch any of the players having a pedicure, but Stuart would be near the top of my list if I had to predict!

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Activists are angry about a decision by China to screen candidates for Hong Kong's 2017 leadership election. They want direct talks with Beijing.
Government supporters also took to the streets and confronted the protesters outside the representative's office.
Activists tied yellow ribbons, a symbol of their demand for more democracy, on the gates of the China liaison office.
The march on Sunday follows almost six weeks of sit-ins and road blockades in a number of central districts.
Hong Kong Chief executive CY Leung - who is in Beijing - received the full support of President Xi Jinping in his dealings with the protesters.
Mr Xi said that he firmly supported Hong Kong in "driving forward the development of democracy according to the law, and in safeguarding the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong".
The BBC's John Sudworth in Hong Kong says that there is no sign that the Hong Kong government is prepared to make any concessions.
Protesters say that attempts to negotiate with the Hong Kong government have failed and now appear to be directing their grievances towards China's national leaders, our correspondent says.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | I've also noticed that a bad night's sleep affects my memory. The link between sleep and memory has been around for a long time and one plausible theory is that during deep sleep your brain moves short-term memories, collected that day, into long-term storage, freeing up space in your brain for more memories.
So if you don't get enough deep sleep those memories will be lost.
Whether this theory is right or not, getting a good night's sleep (rather than staying up late and cramming) is particularly important for students who are currently revising for exams.
But what really surprised me, while making the Truth about Sleep for BBC One, was discovering how much a bad night's sleep can affect blood sugar control and hunger, even in healthy volunteers.
To find out more we asked Dr Eleanor Scott, who works at the University of Leeds, to help us.
We recruited a group of healthy volunteers and, under her supervision, fitted them with activity monitors and continuous glucose monitors, so we could see what was happening to their blood sugar levels, every five minutes or so.
Then we asked our volunteers to sleep normally for two nights (so we had a baseline), have two nights where they went to bed three hours later than normal, followed by two nights where they could sleep as long as they liked.
Naturally enough, being an avid self-experimenter, I joined in. Staying awake when you really don't want to, and everyone else in your house has gone to bed, was not enjoyable.
I was also unpleasantly surprised by just how much my blood sugar levels rose on the days when I was sleep deprived, and how hungry that made me.
The same was true of my fellow volunteers. When we met to get our results from Dr Scott everyone complained about having the munchies.
As one volunteer put it, "I wanted lots of biscuits and I didn't just have one. I'd go for 10. I wrote it down on my diary - 10 custard creams"
"Is that unusual?" I asked him.
"Well that certainly unusual for breakfast!" he replied.
All of us, whether we had feasted on biscuits or managed to stick to our normal diet, saw marked increases in our blood sugar levels, to the point where some previously healthy individuals had levels you might expect to see in borderline type 2 diabetics. These problems resolved after a couple of good nights' sleep.
As Dr Scott pointed out, there is now a lot of evidence from big studies which suggests that people who sleep for less than seven hours a night are more likely to become obese and also develop type 2 diabetes.
So why does this happen?
Dr Scott said: "We know that when you are sleep-deprived this alters your appetite hormones, making you more likely to feel hungry and less likely to feel full. We also know that when people are sleep-deprived they often crave sweet foods, which could explain the custard cream cravings.
"Also, if you're awake when you're not meant to be, you produce more of the stress hormone, cortisol, and that can influence your glucose level, as well, the next day"
A recent meta-analysis, carried out by researchers at King's College London, found that sleep-deprived people consume, on average, an extra 385 kcal per day, which over time could certainly add up.
It's not just that your blood sugar levels soar and your hunger hormones go into overdrive when you are sleep-restricted.
Researchers have also found that areas of your brain associated with reward also become more active when you're tired. In other words you become more motivated to seek out food.
Getting enough sleep is particularly important, not just for adults but also for children.
In another recent study researchers took a small group of pre-school children, aged three-to-four, all regular afternoon nappers, and not only deprived them of their afternoon nap but also kept them up for about two hours past their normal bedtime.
The following day the children ate 20% more calories than usual, particularly more sugar and carbohydrates. They were then allowed to sleep as much as they wanted. The following day they still consumed 14 per cent more calories than normal.
All of which points to the importance of getting a good night's sleep.
A few weeks ago, we kicked off the BBC Sleep Challenge and 367 of you chose to test out options to help you sleep and report back.
This was not a proper scientific survey, because it was self-selecting, but it was revealing nonetheless.
Of those taking the Sleep Challenge, the most common complaint was waking up in the night (half), followed by difficulty falling asleep in first place (a quarter).
The most popular option was the controlled breathing technique which 146 people tried.
The results were fairly evenly spread, with around 50 people choosing to cut out alcohol; do morning exercise; take a warm bath or avoid social media at least an hour before bedtime.
The least popular option was eating two kiwi fruit before bed, which only attracted 27 people.
It was also the option that people who did it found the least effective - only a third said it helped, some said it made their sleep worse!
The other options produced surprisingly similar results, with around half of each group saying they had got benefit from doing the technique they'd chosen, while half did not.
It appears the techniques with the most science behind them were the most effective, but clearly nothing works for everyone.
So shop around and see what works for you. I now do most of them (I enjoy kiwi, just not every evening, and I prefer an evening shower to a bath).
I've also committed myself to eating more fibre, which was not on our original list because we thought the effect would be too slow to show up.
I'm not entirely sure which is the 'best' but the combination has certainly helped me get a better night's sleep.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | Amber Rudd called the president's move "divisive" and "wrong".
Meanwhile, MPs are to hold a debate on the government's offer of a full UK state visit for Mr Trump.
This comes after a petition calling for the invitation to be revoked gained more than 1.7 million signatures.
A rival petition, arguing that Mr Trump's trip should go ahead, has attracted more than 150,000 supporters.
The president's temporary ban on nationals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen entering the US has prompted strong criticism from many UK politicians.
Appearing before the Home Affairs Committee, Ms Rudd said the order did not equate to a "Muslim ban", but she added that Islamic State (IS) would "use any opportunity they can to make difficulties, to create the environment they want to radicalise people, to bring them over to their side. So it is a propaganda opportunity for them, potentially."
She said: "I think the important thing is for this government to state that we disagree with the ban and we have said that it is divisive, it is wrong. I will continue to say that."
Demonstrations against Mr Trump took place in cities around the UK on Monday and Ms Rudd said she had told US Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly of the "difficulties and the response that was taking place in London and across the country".
Asked about Ms Rudd's comments, a Downing Street spokesperson said: "We have been very clear that we believe this policy is divisive and wrong."
It was "clear" that IS would "twist any policy from any government for their own propaganda purposes", they added.
Prime Minister Theresa May, who met Mr Trump last week, has invited the president for a state visit - the highest honour accorded to foreign leaders - with no date yet announced for it.
But support for a petition calling for Mr Trump's visit to be downgraded from a state visit, which usually includes a ceremonial welcome and a state banquet, soared after the president announced his travel ban on Friday.
The Commons debate on this, on 20 February, will also take in the second petition, saying "the leader of a free world" should not be "gagged".
By James Landale, BBC diplomatic correspondent
A state visit is the ultimate weapon of British diplomacy, the bunker buster of soft power that can break down the hardest of tyrannical hearts.
Few world leaders can resist the siren lure of all that royal bling: horse-drawn coaches, state banquets, processions down the Mall, the sheer scale of all that gold leaf and pomp and flummery that allows them a brief window into a royal fantasy that many countries envy but can rarely match.
This weapon is deployed sparingly, normally no more than twice a year. But it does get used.
State visits are not merely ceremonial affairs, they are political and purposeful. They are used by the British government of the day to further what they see as Britain's national interests.

Earlier on Tuesday, Lord Ricketts, permanent secretary at the Foreign Office from 2006 to 2010, said it was unprecedented for a US president to be invited for a state visit in their first year in the White House.
In a letter to the Times he added: "It would have been far wiser to wait to see what sort of president he would turn out to be before advising the Queen to invite him. Now the Queen is put in a very difficult position."
Richard Nixon: 1969 Visited one month after inauguration; no state visit
Barack Obama: 2009 Visited two months after inauguration; state visit after 28 months
George Bush: 1989 Visited four months after inauguration; no state visit
John F Kennedy: 1961 Visited five months after inauguration; no state visit
George W Bush: 2001 Visited six months after inauguration; state visit after 32 months
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has called for the state visit to be postponed.
But Downing Street has insisted the visit will go ahead, saying the "special relationship" between the UK and the US allows for "frank conversations at all times".
The Trump administration denies its travel ban amounts to a ban on Muslims entering the US.
Once a petition gains the backing of 100,000 names, Parliament's Petitions Committee must consider debating the issue.
The anti-state visit petition is the second most supported since the online system was set up, behind one calling for a second referendum on EU membership, which received the backing of 4,150,260 people.

New MPs for Witney, in Oxfordshire, and Batley and Spen, in West Yorkshire, will be chosen on Thursday.
Former Prime Minister David Cameron, who stood down as an MP after quitting Downing Street, is being replaced in Witney.
The by-election in Batley and Spen was prompted by the death of Labour MP Jo Cox, who was shot and stabbed in Birstall in June.
Mrs Cox won the seat with a majority of 6,057 in 2015, while in Witney, the Conservatives are defending a majority of 25,155.
Polls in both constituencies opened at 07:00 BST and will close at 22:00 BST.

The unnamed woman was held on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm by officers probing allegations of abuse at Rosecroft Residential Home in Bromley.
Five other women have been arrested in connection with the allegations.
All six, aged between late-20s and mid-50s, were bailed until February.
The residential home cares for elderly people who need nursing care, including those with dementia, physical disabilities and sensory impairment.
The Metropolitan Police said the investigation involved a number of alleged victims whose ages ranged from their mid-70s to mid-90s.
Det Con Vicki Thomson said: "Although the incidents we are investigating are alleged to have taken place this year, I am keen to hear from former employees of the care home including agency staff who were employed as far back as 2007."
Olivia Colman and David Tennant are back as DS Ellie Miller and DI Alec Hardy, this time investigating the rape of a woman in the fictional Dorset town.
She's played by former Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh.
Jodie Whittaker and Andrew Buchan return to play Beth and Mark Latimer, along with Arthur Darvill as local vicar Paul Coates.
Other cast members include Lenny Henry, Georgina Campbell, Sarah Parish, Charlie Higson and Mark Bazeley.
The first episode, shown on Monday night, drew 7.5 million viewers.
That fell slightly short of the first episode of series two, which launched in 2015 to 7.6 million.

Give a concise summary of the following information. | Kingsley Omiogate, 40, of Newton Abbot, had sex with the girl twice in 2014 after arranging to meet her via text messages.
He had denied two counts of sexual activity with a child but was found guilty at Exeter Crown Court in June.
A judge said Omiogate had groomed the girl, who can not be named, in a "systematic and planned way".

Sentencing, Ignatius Hughes QC said: "You took advantage of a child and the electronic traffic shows there were requests for pictures of her private parts, although she did not fully comply".
"There was pressure brought by you for her not to tell her family. It did not amount to blackmail but was plainly a feature of this case. There is a degree of targeting a vulnerable child", Mr Hughes said.
Exeter Crown Court heard Omiogate had groomed the girl via text messages and on Facebook and told her to keep their relationship secret.
He denied any contact had taken place but the girl's mother found the texts and online conversations.
Mary Miles, defending, said Omiogate was a devoted and dutiful father of a young daughter who he had continued to support despite being banned from seeing her since his arrest. | A man who had sex with a teenage girl after grooming her via texts and Facebook has been jailed for six years. |
Summarize the provided information. | The pair charged with the murder of Kepari Leniata, 20, are related to a six-year-old boy they accused her of using sorcery to kill, police said in a statement.
Ms Leniata was doused in petrol and set on fire in Mount Hagen on 6 February.
The case has drawn public condemnation, including from Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, who called it "barbaric".
Cecile Pouilly, spokesperson for the UN's human rights office, on 8 February expressed "great concern" over the incident.
"We urge the government to put an end to these crimes and to bring perpetrators of attacks and killings to justice through thorough, prompt and impartial investigations in accordance with international law," she said.
In parts of the Pacific nation deaths and mysterious illnesses are sometimes blamed on suspected sorcerers. Several reports have emerged in recent years of accused people, usually women, being killed.
In 2009, after a string of such killings, the chairman of Papua New Guinea's Constitutional Review and Law Reform Commission said defendants were using accusations of witchcraft as an excuse to kill people, and called for tougher legislation to tackle the issue.
The police have interviewed at least 40 people in connection with the incident.
The two who have been charged, from a village in the Laiagam district, are the boy's mother and uncle, according to a report in The National newspaper on Monday.
"We are not finished," provincial police commander Martin Lakari was quoted by paper as saying.
"If any evidence or reports come in later saying other people involved are still at large, we will also arrest them."
Police and fire-fighters were unable to intervene at the time because they were outnumbered by the crowd and chased away.
Passengers in south east London, Kent and East Sussex are being asked to give their views on the next franchise blueprint for Southeastern.
The operator's contract to run the service expires in December 2018.
The proposals by Transport Secretary Chris Grayling also include options for new routes.
Among those proposed are a "London orbital service" connecting Ashford, Tonbridge, Redhill and Reading, to take pressure away from the M20 and M25.
High Speed services to Hastings, Bexhill and Rye could also be extended "to speed up links between Hastings and London and support the development of the town".
About 640,000 journeys are made on 1,900 Southeastern trains every week day.
Under the new franchise agreement for routes currently operated by network, trains could be made fully standard class.
The Department for Transport (DfT) consultation said although first class tickets were popular on certain routes, removing them would "create more room for passengers, which would be important during peak hours".
The new franchise could also see the introduction of high capacity, metro-style carriages on the busiest lines, giving a "better balance" of seating and room for standing passengers, space for wheelchairs and pushchairs on shorter journeys and quicker boarding and alighting at stations.
However, there could also be a reduction in the number of trains that call at some less well-used stations to cut journey times to key locations, and a limit in the choice of central London destinations from some stations.
Mr Grayling said services on the network had been "unacceptably poor for far too long", and passengers "deserve better".
The DfT consultation closes on 23 May.
The Call to Mind: Wales report highlights that while much has been done in recent years, further improvement is required.
Progress includes the establishment of the only national veterans' service in the UK.
The report was commissioned by the Forces in Mind Trust and forms part of a wider review.
It is based on a series of interviews with veterans and their families, stakeholders and people working in the voluntary and independent sectors.
The aim is to find the most effective ways to assess the mental and related health needs of veterans, to support the development of those services, and ensure valuable resources are spent wisely.
Priorities include:
There could be up to 250,000 veterans in Wales, and 4% of ex-military personnel will suffer some kind of mental illness.
Ray Lock, chief executive of Forces in Mind Trust, said serving men and women deserve consistent and effective support.
He said: "Unfortunately, mental health is an area where there continues to be a lot of stigma and, as this report shows, it is incumbent on commissioners, providers and practitioners to work together to ensure that needs are adequately assessed, and that money is spent and targeted wisely." | Two people have been charged in Papua New Guinea with burning alive a woman they accused of sorcery, officials say.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Ms Kelly will host her own daytime news and discussion program at NBC, as well as presenting an in-depth Sunday night news show.
The move deprives Fox News of its second most-popular host after Bill O'Reilly.
Ms Kelly's contract with Fox was due to end later this year.
She was pushed into the international spotlight in 2015 when she accused Donald Trump of misogyny during a Republican presidential debate.
She later said that she would "not apologise for doing good journalism", following criticism from Mr Trump's supporters.
NBC News chairman Andrew Lack called Ms Kelly "an exceptional journalist" who has "demonstrated tremendous skill and poise".
"We're lucky to have her," he said.
Further details of Ms Kelly's news programmes will be unveiled by NBC in the coming months, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
Ms Kelly, a lawyer-turned-journalist, joined Fox News' Washington bureau as a correspondent before being given her own prime-time show, the Kelly File.
The mother-of-three, from New York, began her career as a local news reporter in 2003, after nine years in law.
During the US election campaign, Ms Kelly challenged now President-elect Donald Trump on his statements about women.
Her accusation of misogyny against the New York billionaire made her a target for his supporters and the subject of attacks from Mr Trump himself.
He accused the presenter of having "blood coming out of her wherever", later denying he was referring to menstruation.
In a move described by Fox News as "unprecedented", Mr Trump later refused to participate in shows hosted by Ms Kelly. | Fox News presenter Megyn Kelly, who has worked at the channel for 12 years, is leaving the network to join NBC, her publicist has confirmed. |
Can you summarize this passage? | Over 65s made up 35% of 39,272 fraud referrals to the charity in England and Wales in the year to September, despite making up just 18% of the population.
And 22% of victims were aged 75 or over despite making up just 8% of the population, the analysis showed.
Victim Support's director said the targeting of older people was "disturbing and despicable".
Lucy Hastings added that many other cases were not being reported.
"We need to take away the stigma, so that victims of fraud have the confidence to report it, knowing that they are not alone and will be taken seriously," she said.
Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said elderly people could be scammed on the doorstep, by phone, online or by post.
"Figures like this aren't surprising to us as time and time again we're seeing stats that highlight this horrible problem and as scams become more sophisticated the risks they pose to older people are growing," she said.
"To most of us it's unbelievable that anyone would target an older person to defraud them but unfortunately it happens and we know that older people can be especially vulnerable if they are lonely and isolated or suffer with dementia."
Case study: "I was totally drawn in"
Pat Bottomley from Hull lost her £8,500 life savings after falling victim to fraudsters posing as police officers.
One fake officer called the widow, 76, and said a teenager with the same name as her son had been arrested in possession of her bank card.
"The police officer assured me he was genuine and needed my assistance," Pat said. "He even gave me the name and phone number of a real policeman, which I looked up - so I thought he was being honest."
A second fraudster then called and talked her into transferring money into a savings account to help the "police" catch international criminals withdrawing stolen money.
When her son returned home later, she realised it had been a scam.
"I was totally drawn in and I felt absolutely gutted," Mrs Bottomley said.
"The experience made me totally lose my confidence. I felt very stupid. It wasn't about the money - it was about how I was made to feel. I didn't want to answer the phone to anyone or go out anymore."
Last month, it was revealed fraudsters posing as bank staff had tricked 65-year-old Nargess Sadjady, from west London, into handing over her £12,000 savings.
In March, a man who stole more than £17,000 from a pensioner to pay his gambling and wedding debts was sent to prison.
Cormac McGuckin, 29, from County Londonderry, was given a 20-month jail sentence after a court heard he had befriended an elderly man and persuaded him to write blank cheques.
Concerns have also been raised about the vulnerability of those approaching retirement under new pension rules, which make it easier to access money in pension pots.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Officers found the body at a house in St George's Avenue in Yeovil, Somerset, after receiving a tip-off.
A 29-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of infanticide has since been released on bail. Officers said the discovery was not connected to the property's current tenant.
Avon and Somerset Police said it could not confirm whether the arrested woman was related to the baby.
"As our inquiries are continuing, we would ask the public not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding this incident," a spokesman said.
"We are continuing to work closely with the family concerned and helping them through this difficult time."
Officers said they launched an investigation last week after police were tipped off that a child may be buried there.
Their funding was cut by a quarter from 2011 to 2016, according to an investigation by the agency.
The government is committed to raising parks' budgets between now and 2020.
However, funding in 2020 will be as much as a fifth below 2010 levels, said the study, even before inflation is taken into account.
Among the parks affected were the Peak District, with annual funding cut from £8.3m to £6.3m, and the Lake District from £6.9m to £5.2m.
The investigation found that once inflation was taken into account cuts over the five years were even more severe, at 40% in real terms.
In 2015, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) pledged to increase the direct grant for National Parks by 1.72% a year for most parks up to 2020.
The figures exclude South Downs National Park which did not become fully operational until April 2011.
The park saw funding fall from £11.4m in 2011-12 to £9.8m in the last financial year.
The Yorkshire Dales will see a bigger boost in its grant in the next two years as a result of the extension of the park area by almost a quarter in 2016.
The Campaign for National Parks said that since 2010, the Norfolk Broads had closed three out of six information centres, Dartmoor had reduced staff by 35% and various parks had cut bus services transporting people to the attractions.
Chief executive Fiona Howie said the charity welcomed the government's desire for more people to benefit from National Parks.
"If we want the parks to inspire current and future generations we need to make sure they receive the resources necessary for them to be maintained and, ideally, enhanced," she said.
A Defra spokeswoman said: "National Parks are treasured landscapes and an important part of our country's identity, attracting 90 million visitors and generating £4bn a year.
"We are committed to helping them thrive, which is why we have protected their budgets to 2020, committing over £350m for English National Parks, AONBs (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and public forests."
National Parks in England are funded by central government.
They also get some money from other sources such as the European Union and earning money themselves.
McCarthy, 26, missed Everton's win over West Brom on Saturday after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury.
Toffees boss Ronald Koeman said after the game that the midfielder is "one or two weeks" away from fitness.
Koeman and Republic boss Martin O'Neill became involved in a row about McCarthy's fitness in November and the player missed the 1-0 win in Austria.
McCarthy's hamstring issues have restricted him to only seven Premier League starts this term and Koeman is keen to get to the bottom of it.
"He played 30-35 minutes last week and then we need to put him in the recovery group after the game," said the Everton boss.
"It's not a big hamstring injury. He will be out for one or two weeks.
"It's another step back for the boy and that's really disappointing. We need to find a solution."
O'Neill will announce the Republic's squad for the Wales game on Monday and the expectation is that the Everton midfielder will be an inclusion.
Asked if he expected O'Neill to select McCarthy, Koeman replied: "I don't know. We know it will be another nine, 10 days [before the game] and the Fifa rule is that they have the possibility to call the player.
"If they call the player the player will go and they will see how his fitness is at that time."

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Division Two leaders Essex started the day on 16-1 and required just another 197 for victory.
But seam bowlers Liam Norwell (4-65), Craig Miles (3-26) and David Payne (3-40) never let the batsmen settle, and by lunch they had slipped to 124-8.
When Norwell bowled Essex's top scorer Ashar Zaidi for 37, the hosts won.
The match swung in the hosts' favour when Tom Westley, Nick Browne and Ravi Bopara were sent back to the pavilion in the space of five overs to leave Essex on 59-5.
Miles' dismissal of Bopara for three saw him claim a split-innings hat-trick, having also struck with his final two deliveries of the first innings.
He then saw off the potentially dangerous duo of Dan Lawrence and captain Ryan ten Doeschate before James Foster fell with the last ball before lunch for just seven.
Third-placed Gloucestershire then wrapped up victory in the afternoon with little trouble as they aided their promotion bid as they move to just four points behind Worcestershire.
Netherlands boss Van Gaal, who replaced David Moyes at United, is preparing for Wednesday's semi-final with Argentina.
Assistant manager Giggs will be helped by Marcel Bout and new assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg.

Summarize the following piece. | Some schools "unlawfully" interviewed children before deciding on in-year places, said Shan Scott in a report.
Others made background checks on would-be pupils, said Ms Scott, who became chief adjudicator in April.
The government said the report would help ensure fairer school admissions.
Delays to in-year admissions were a matter of concern, said Ms Scott, in her first annual report on the admissions system in England.
In particular, there were safeguarding concerns about children in vulnerable families who could not quickly find school places, said the report.
"Parents may be at a loss to know where or how they should apply for an in-year place."
Some local authorities have suggested that parents looking for school places during the academic year "may typically approach three or four schools, occasionally as many as five or six, before receiving the offer of a place".
Under rules brought in by the Coalition government, schools that managed their own admissions, including academies and some faith schools, sometimes had "time-consuming" procedures for admitting pupils in the middle of the school year, which could result in "a child being out of school longer than should be necessary", said the report.
"If a school has available places in the relevant year group, they should be offered to applicants freely and without condition," it added.
But schools could be unwilling to admit children part-way through examination courses and some "do not wish to admit pupils who, it is felt, may have an adverse effect" on published performance tables.
"A few local authorities continue to report that parents are strongly encouraged by some schools to consider education at home for a child when such factors come into play," said the report.
Schools that managed their own admissions were meant to keep the local authority informed about mid-year applications and outcomes and to tell parents of their right to appeal if they were told there was not a place for their child, said the report.
But about a third of local councils told the authors that they were not kept up to date and it could, therefore, be difficult "to advise parents effectively of where vacancies may exist".
The Local Government Association, which represents councils in England, supports calls for councils to resume responsibility for in-year admissions.
"Councils have a statutory duty to ensure that all children have a school place and are receiving a good education," said Richard Watts, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board.
"There are far stronger safeguards in place to ensure maintained schools do not cherry-pick their pupils and the same measures should be in place for all state-funded schools."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "This annual report will help us to identify how we can continue to improve the admissions framework to ensure fair access to school places for all children." | Vulnerable children can struggle to find a school place if they apply mid-year, with some schools "cherry-picking" pupils, according to the chief schools adjudicator for England. |
Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Catherine Campbell was giving evidence in the trial of Gail O'Rorke.
Ms O'Rorke, 43, of Kilclare Gardens, Tallaght, denies assisting the suicide of 51-year-old Bernadette Forde between 10 March and 6 June 2011.
Ms Campbell said her sister, Ms Forde, told her in 2010 that she was going to travel to Zurich to end her life.
She said she "could not be convinced otherwise" once she had made her decision.
She said that she and others, including Ms O'Rorke, had tried to talk to her about other options for her care.
Ms Forde died at her home in Dublin on 6 June 2011 after being denied travel to a clinic in Switzerland.
She was diagnosed in 2001 with progressive multiple sclerosis and her condition was compounded by a car accident in 2008 that left her using a wheelchair.
Ireland decriminalised suicide in 1993 but the jury was told assisting a suicide remains an offence.
Ms Forde's sister said when the plan to go to Zurich was abandoned she was glad but Ms Forde was not happy.
Ms Campbell said Ms Forde later told her she had got something to end her life but did not say when she was planning to use it.
She said she did not know when her sister planned to take her own life, but had obtained some anti-sickness medication for her from a pharmacy as she had told her that her new medication for MS was making her ill.
She last saw her alive on 5 June 2011, the day before her body was found in her Dublin apartment.
Earlier, a consultant pathologist told the court that a lethal amount of a medication was found in blood tests carried out on the dead woman.
The court heard that the medication, a barbiturate that is no longer sold in Ireland and has limited therapeutic use, was also found in Ms Forde's apartment when her body was found.
Consultant pathologist Dr Muna Sabah said the level of the drug found in Ms Forde's tests was 53 micrograms per millilitre of blood, which is well above the lethal level.
She said this led her to conclude that the cause of death was from the depressant effects of pentobarbitol on the central nervous system.
Dr Sabah said the drug, a short acting barbiturate, is only used in limited circumstances in the US and is no longer used in Europe due to the high potential for abuse and limited therapeutic abilities.
The case is expected to last for two weeks.
Dr Weatherhead died early on Saturday morning a few hours before the 2017 General Assembly was due to meet. He was 86.
He was born in Dundee in 1931 and appointed as moderator in 1993.
The Church of Scotland said he was a "wise and faithful servant of Christ and his church".
Dr Weatherhead was educated at Dundee High School before going to the University of Edinburgh where he graduated in arts and law.
His ministry began in 1960 when he became assistant minister at the Auld Kirk of Ayr.
In 1985 he succeeded Donald Macdonald in the office of Principal Clerk to the General Assembly, a role the Church of Scotland said he held with "great distinction" until his retirement in 1996.
Dr Weatherhead was also appointed a Chaplain to the Queen in 1991 and awarded the CBE for ecumenical work and public service in 1997.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | The league is the first female domestic competition in the country in five years and also the first time teams outside Freetown are taking part.
But there are concerns about how the league will be sustained in Sierra Leone, which like many African countries, struggles to promote women's football.
The newest executive member of the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) Foday Turay believes a lot needs to be done to continue the female league in the west African country.
"We can only sustain the league and save the women's game from a total collapse if there is proper planning which is lacking at the moment," Turay told BBC Sport.
"We need to have a well structured league system and a proper calendar.
"We lack the structure at the moment with no proper calendar and because of all these shortfalls we can't attract sponsors.
"And there won't be a good league without money and it comes from sponsorship. So we need to have a well structured league system."
Turay is also offering some tips on where to look at first in the structuring process of the women's game in his country.
"The first step to structure our women's game is to start from the grass roots and also have effective competitions in schools."
An owner of one of the teams participating in the league, Ansu Kassay, expressed similar sentiments.
"The SLFA also need to support the teams financially to help the game grow," said Kassay.
The league is currently being played at regional level and also serves as qualifiers for the national team finals.
But the league is not without a problem as teams in the Western Area have refused to take part in the competition until certain conditions are met relating to the governance of the SLFA.

Experimental musician Caro C is one of the Darlings. She said listening to Derbyshire's work was both "humbling and enchanting".
"On some of the tapes you can actually hear a piece progressing, which was a lovely insight into her working methods.
"It was also very entertaining, as there is humour in her music at times."
She said that while the recordings were the most interesting part of the archive, she was "also rather captivated by her school books, which she kept and I think someone found in their attic and donated".
"There were some classic lines in her school books that with hindsight you can see her career and character there already."
She said that the archive revealed Derbyshire as "a most interesting character who really did dare to be rare and do her thing".
"She was obviously a clever lass with her maths and music degree at Cambridge and she was renowned for carrying around her tables of algorithms for making music and analysing overtones."
Ultimately though, she said what struck her most about the archive was the quality of Derbyshire's work and its avant-garde style.
"Listening to only a small part of her 267 audio tapes, I was humbled by the grace and finesse of her sound and mixes," she said.
"[What strikes you is] the sheer genre defying and variety of pieces she came up with, from minimal techno, to synth pop in 1971 via sublime ambient pieces and industrial rhythms."
That variety is what led her to work with fellow Manchester-based composer Ailis Ni Riain and artist Naomi Kashiwagi on Delia Derbyshire Day.
She said the trio "settled upon a day dedicated to honouring Delia's wonderful work" after listening to the archive.
"We felt increasing the visibility of her amazing work as a pioneer in the UK was still of relevance today," she said.
It will see experts discuss Derbyshire's "psycho-acoustics", the sound experiments she created at the BBC, and include a screening of Kara Blake's award-winning film, The Delian Mode.
There will also be a performance by Delia Darlings of the work they have created from Derbyshire's recordings.
For Caro C though, the day is "ultimately" about one thing.
"It is an opportunity to find out more and celebrate Delia's work and legacy with real humans - not online".
Delia Derbyshire Day will take place at Band On The Wall in Manchester on Saturday 12 January 2013.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | The League wants ISPs to cut off access to FirstRow1.eu, which operates from Sweden.
The BBC understands none of the ISPs plans to challenge the court order.
If successful, the action will be the first sport-related site block in the UK.
The Premier League's move follows a precedent set by the BPI music industry body, which has been successful in having several piracy websites blocked in the UK, most notably the Pirate Bay.
In those cases, ISPs have stood firm and insisted they would only take action if ordered to do so by the courts.
The UK's major ISPs each received a letter from the Premier League outlining a possible court order, and were given a deadline of Friday to signal any intent to challenge the action.
When approached by the BBC, none of the ISPs would comment specifically on the Premier League's planned action, but all reiterated that blocking of sites would not be done voluntarily.
The situation raises additional issues for BT, as from next season it will be a major distributor of Premier League football through its new sports TV channels.
BT has paid £246m for rights to show Premier League football, while Sky paid £760m for its portion of the coverage.
Sky's ISP operation has historically been seen as taking a more sympathetic stance with copyright holders requesting the blocking of sites, whereas BT has in the past taken such battles to court on behalf of the ISP industry as a whole.
Jim Killock, of the Open Rights Group, said he worried that conflicted interests might lead to the blocking process becoming less transparent.
"All of the major ISPs now have differing degrees of conflicts of interest," he told the BBC.
"Sky, BT, Virgin and TalkTalk all supply televisions services now, so we have to expect that there will be more reluctance to be as transparent as they have been in the past."
Mr Killock also expressed concern that as the process for granting court orders gets quicker, it may lead to sites being wrongly blocked out.
"It's possible that very legitimate services will at some point be attacked by one of these orders.
"Our main concern here is that these orders should be considered slowly, and they should be subject to much more public review."
FirstRow1.eu did not respond to the BBC's request for comment. | The Premier League is to request a court order forcing internet service providers to block a popular football streaming website before the next season. |
Can you summarize the given article? | It presents a detailed picture of torture, forced abortions and public executions in a vast network of secret political camps.
The research backs previous evidence that more than 150,000 political prisoners are being held in North Korea.
The authors are calling for an international commission of inquiry to investigate.
The report - by the Washington-based Committee for Human Rights in North Korea - uses detailed satellite photographs to identify barracks, work sites and execution grounds
in forced labour camps hidden in remote mountain areas.
"An entire system of political repression in North Korea needs to be eliminated," said the committee's chairwoman, Roberta Cohen.
The researchers relied for their information on some 60 former prisoners and camp guards, who have escaped to South Korea.
They describe a complex web of prisons and work camps built to punish those seen as resistant to North Korea's system of total state control, including those who try to escape to South Korea.
They say that many inmates die from malnutrition and harsh working conditions as they labour in mines, factories and on farms.
The researchers also document witness accounts of public executions - mainly of prisoners who try to escape or are caught stealing extra food rations.
They also present fresh evidence of routine torture, beatings and forced abortions - mainly for women who are repatriated from China and are thought to have conceived children by Chinese men.
Former inmates say they were sent to the camps - sometimes for decades - without any judicial process or often without hearing the charges against them.
Children and other family members of the accused can also be incarcerated in an effort to eradicate all criticism of North Korea's political system.
One woman said she was imprisoned for singing a South Korean song, and others for having relatives with South Korean or Japanese connections.
The report's author, David Hawk, first documented the extent of the North Korean camp system in his report "Hidden Gulag" in 2003.
He says he was able to update his research because many more North Korean refugees have since escaped from the country with fresh evidence. There are currently about 30,000 refugees in Seoul compared to just a few thousand a decade ago, hundreds of whom have experienced life in the camps.
North Korean officials have told the United Nations in the past that there are no political prisons in the country.
The force is asking for people to surrender unlawfully held guns and ammunition to help avoid them "getting into the wrong hands".
Officers said many firearms were held in innocence and ignorance of their illegality or were overlooked and forgotten in people's homes.
Ch Insp Chris Brown said there had only been one death this year from a firearm but it was still "one death too many".
"We want as many weapons off the street as possible and would encourage people to hand them in," he said.
"It has been 10 years since we have run a firearms amnesty and it is really to give people who may have illegal firearms in their homes an opportunity to safely bring them in to police without fear of prosecution."
Collection points will be placed at police stations across Leicestershire. The amnesty runs until 6 October. | A new report has shed fresh light on life in North Korean labour camps.

What is the summary of the following document? | The Crown Office initially decided there was insufficient evidence against John Carignani, 41.
The child's mother then contacted Carignani and kept a letter, text messages and recordings of phone calls in which he admitted his guilt.
At the High Court in Edinburgh, he was jailed for four-and-a-half years.
Judge Lord Boyd of Duncansby told Carignani, formerly of Cuthelton Street in the Tollcross area of Glasgow, he would have faced a six-year sentence for his crimes had it not been for his guilty pleas.
The judge had been told the mother contacted Carignani after the Crown Office decision not to prosecute last year.
After first denying the allegations that he had raped her child, he texted: "I can only say I'm sorry for everything."
He then sent a further text stating: "I'll be dead by the morning. I'm sorry."
Carignani also sent her a letter saying: "I lost control of myself and I tried to hide that. Please don't think of me as some kind of a monster, because I am not. Not really."
He then contacted the woman by phone and she recorded their conversations.
During one call, he said that he was not in control of himself.
The court heard that the content of the letter, text messages and what was said by Carignani in his phone calls provided the necessary supporting evidence after the girl revealed the abuse she had suffered to her mother.
Lord Boyd told him: "I take into account your expressions of remorse which I accept are genuine."
Unemployed Carignani earlier admitted the rape and sexual assault on the girl at two houses in Glasgow in December 2014 and April the following year.
Defence solicitor advocate Ann Ogg said Carignani had committed the offences when he was intoxicated, but added: "He recognises that that is no excuse."
Her client was placed on the sex offenders' register.
The Batley & Spen MP becomes a shadow education minister, with responsibility for early years provision.
Chris Williamson gets the key role of shadow fire services minister while former Manchester police commissioner Tony Lloyd becomes housing spokesman.
Three shadow ministers were sacked last week after they defied the leadership in a Commons vote over Brexit.
Ruth Cadbury, Catherine West and Andy Slaughter were dismissed after they backed a motion calling for the UK to remain in the single market - having been instructed to abstain.
Mr Corbyn already had some long-standing gaps to fill after a wave of resignations in the wake of last year's EU referendum, which prompted a challenge to his leadership, and February's Commons vote on Article 50.
Since the party's better-than-expected performance in the general election, Mr Corbyn's authority has been enhanced and deputy leader Tom Watson said over the weekend he would lead the party "for years".

Among those returning to the frontbench after quitting in the past are Rachael Maskell and Gloria De Piero, who will speak on transport and justice respectively.
Mr Corbyn has bolstered his home affairs team with four appointments.
Mr Williamson, a close ally of the leader's, has been given the sensitive fire services brief, which he held under Ed Miliband between 2010 and 2013.
He said his immediate priority would be to secure justice for the victims and survivors of the Grenfell fire and that he would be pushing, as a bare minimum, for the retrofitting of sprinkler system in tower blocks.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | The assault took place outside the Explore Library in Museum Street at about 14:15 BST.
North Yorkshire Police said they did not know the condition of the victim, who is believed to be in his 20s.
However, a force spokesman said a man had been arrested on suspicion of assault.
Emrys Hughes, 65, worked as a tractor driver in Llanidloes when he suffered near fatal and life-changing injuries on 16 November, 2015.
Mold Crown Court heard he would never walk again.
Sundorne Products (Llanidloes) Ltd admitted a health and safety charge and was fined £180,000 and £7,650 costs.
The court heard Mr Hughes was walking in the yard but was in the blind spot of the mechanical shovel driver.
He was struck with force as the vehicle was being driven at some pace to get a momentum to load refuse.
It was described as "an accident waiting to happen" because the yard had no system to separate pedestrians and moving vehicles and no pedestrian walk ways.
Mr Hughes was in intensive care for weeks afterwards, and stayed in hospital until April last year.
His partner had to give up work to care for him, and they moved to a specially adapted bungalow.
"My life has changed considerably since I lost my legs," he said in a victim impact statement.
Prosecutor Craig Morris said the company fell well below the required standard and failed to implement practises recognised in the industry to keep pedestrians and vehicles apart.
An investigator viewed CCTV footage from the yard for the previous two weeks and saw about 90 instances where there were moving vehicles close to pedestrians in the yard, with nothing to stop them being there at the same time.
Judge Niclas Parry said that the financial penalty was not intended to reflect "the devastating injuries" he had suffered, and said the events were "truly shocking".
The court was told Sundorne Products cooperated with the Health and Safety Executive, pleaded guilty at an early stage and was "truly remorseful", continuing to support Mr Hughes.
It installed pedestrian fencing and had appointed a health and safety manager following an audit.
Yoweri Museveni has been in office for more than a quarter of a century, having seized power at the head of a rebel army.
He won fresh terms in office in presidential elections in February 2011 and 2016, having amended the constitution in 2006 to remove the previous limit on the number of terms a president could serve.
The opposition, along with Commonwealth, US and European Union observers, complained about the fairness and transparency of these elections.
Mr Museveni has been credited with restoring relative stability and economic growth to Uganda following years of civil war and repression under Milton Obote and Idi Amin before him.
Mr Museveni co-founded one of the rebel groups which, with the help of Tanzanian troops, ousted Idi Amin in 1979. He then formed a new rebel army which eventually seized power in 1986.
His National Resistance Movement (NRM) ran Uganda as a one-party state until a referendum brought back multi-party politics in 2005. He won presidential elections in 1996, and again in 2001, 2006 and 2011.
He has faced UN criticism his role in the conflict in DR Congo between 1998 and 2003. More recently Uganda has been accused of aiding rebels there.
The government has also faced growing criticism for failing to take action against senior officials implicated in corruption scandals.
There is speculation that Mr Museveni is grooming his son Muhoozi Kainerugaba to succeed him.

Write a brief summary of the document. | It says cuts to police budgets of 20% since 2010 have already hit officer numbers and police visibility.
With further savings set to be made over the next five years, is the bobby on the beat - as the Police Federation of England and Wales has claimed - really now an "endangered species"?
Home Secretary Theresa May says that suggestion is wrong and has accused the federation - which represents rank and file police officers - of "scaremongering".
She told its annual conference that although more savings needed to be made over the next five years, cuts could be made without affecting neighbourhood policing.
The prospect of future cuts comes as the police workforce in England and Wales - including both officers and staff - has already reduced by 14% since 2010.
According to the latest Home Office statistics, the total in March 2010 was 244,497.
Last year, that figure had fallen to 209,362.
The number of police constables in England and Wales fell by more than 16,000 (11.5%), while police community support officers (PCSOs) reduced by more than 4,000 (almost 25%).
Ch Supt John Sutherland, from London's Metropolitan Police, said the current climate was "as challenging as I've ever known it".
He said the Met had already cut about £600m and may have to save "at least the same again".
Potential savings were "eye watering", he said, adding that there were some things the force would "unequivocally" have to do differently.
Yet, despite the cut, according to official figures recorded crime has continued to fall.
John Graham, director of the Police Foundation think tank, stressed the importance of neighbour police teams in building "trust and confidence" with local residents.
Reducing the visibility of local officers could quickly erode that trust, he warned.
A report he co-authored - which was published this week - suggested that if neighbourhood policing reduced then "policing by consent may well go with it."
"If you lose the trust and confidence of the public you are policing then why should they give you their consent?" Mr Graham said.
He said the idea that neighbourhood policing would disappear altogether was "nonsense", but said the concept might have to change.
"There will be fewer people available to patrol local neighbourhoods, but I think one has to bear in mind that as the nature of crime is changing the requirements of local patrols is also changing," he said.
Solutions vary between forces.
A survey by the Police Federation suggests 33 out of the 43 forces have scrapped, reduced or merged their neighbourhood policing teams since 2010.
Many chief constables have been trying to recruit more volunteer special constables.
In Leicestershire, remaining neighbourhood officers will no longer investigate crimes or respond to emergencies.
Instead, they will only deal with "core community activities", such as patrol, dealing with anti-social behaviour and engaging with people, Mr Graham added.
Richard Garside, director of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, argued there should be fewer - not more - police officers.
He said police budgets in 2010 - when police officers were at "record numbers" - had grown by around 50% over the previous decade.
At the same time, he argued, there was a "mission creep" in the functions police forces carried out - notably, he said, acting as probation officers and dealing with the mentally ill.
"One of the reasons I think the police feel a lot of pressure now is they are being asked to do a lot more than historically could or should be the role of the police."
Mr Garside said the key question was about how police officers were deployed.
"What we've had from the government over the last five years this notion that you can get more for less", he said.
"I think one of the things we need to be talking about in the next five years is how do we get less for less.
"We just accept that if we reduce budgets - which I think is a good thing in relation to the police - we have to also accept that police aren't going to do as much."
Policing Minister Mike Penning said decisions on neighbourhood policing should be made locally by chief constable and police and crime commissioners - not by the government.
He added: "The reduction in crime seen nationwide demonstrates there is no simple link between officer numbers and crime levels, the visibility of the police in the community and the quality of service provided." | The sight of police officers pounding the streets of England and Wales could soon be a distant memory, the Police Federation has warned. |
Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | The South Douglas MHK was unanimously chosen to succeed Mr Karran, who has led the party he founded since 2006.
He said it "was time for a change" and that Mrs Beecroft was the "right choice for the future."
Mrs Beecroft and Mr Karran are currently the party's two elected MHK's.
She said she was "honoured to accept the role" having been proposed by Mr Karran at the party's annual general meeting on Sunday.
He said: "There is no question she is the right woman for the job. She has the intelligence and the values to be our leader and help bring about the much needed changes in government."
"She will continue our work to scrutinise every decision the Manx government makes."

The Liberal Vannin Party has said it pledges "politics to the people".
The defendant, named by prosecutors as Ali Qazimaj, 43, denies killing Peter and Sylvia Stuart, from Weybread, Suffolk.
He also claims he is not the man wanted by police, and his real name is Vital Dapi, Ipswich Crown Court heard.
Mr Stuart, 75, was stabbed to death last June. The body of Mrs Stuart, 69, has never been found.
Prosecutor Kharim Khalil QC told jurors a dispute about identification was "at the heart of this case".
"We say Ali Qazimaj killed these two people," he said.
"The defendant claims he's not Ali Qazimaj. He claims to be called Vital Dapi. We say it's a lie.
"You have to decide whether Ali Qazimaj is the murderer, and whether the defendant is Ali Qazimaj."
The Stuarts were last seen alive at Goodies Farm Shop in Pulham Market, Norfolk, on 29 May last year. They were reported missing five days later.
Mr Stuart was found in a river with nine stab wounds near his home on 3 June. Police are still looking for the body of his wife.
The defendant, formerly of Tilbury, Essex, was arrested in Luxembourg on 17 June before being extradited back to the UK.
The court heard a relative of the Stuarts by marriage, Sidney Paxman, was cared for by Mr Qazimaj near Grays, Essex.
Mr Khalil told the court Mr Paxman had given the defendant "the best part of £10,000" over two years.
"Mr Paxman will say he had told Ali Qazimaj about the Stuarts, describing them as millionaires," he said.
The prosecutor also said Mr Paxman claimed the defendant told him "he had been to Serbia and on his return he said he had carried out a contract killing".
