The 25-year-old's towering nine-iron at the 177-yard 15th pitched a foot from the flag before trickling in, and he birdied the last to finish on 11 under.
Leader Martin Kaymer did not drop a shot in adding a 67 to his opening 64.
It was the third ace of the week after Tom Lewis at the seventh and Miguel Angel Jimenez at the 15th.
Big-hitting Belgian Thomas Pieters, the 6ft 5in 22-year-old who was runner-up to Jimenez after a play-off at last year's Spanish Open, also reached 13 under before dropping a shot at the ninth, his final hole.
McIlroy's playing partner Rickie Fowler, who was level with the Northern Irishman three shots back after day one, carded a triple-bogey eight at the eighth in a 75 and dropped to two under, making the cut by just a single stroke.
Commenting on his hole-in-one, McIlroy said: "It was a perfect number, straight downwind 177 yards, and it took a nice little hop to the right, so obviously the beers are on me tonight.
"It wasn't one of my goals for the year but it's a nice little bonus." | World number one Rory McIlroy recorded his first professional hole-in-one and is only two shots off the lead after day two of the Abu Dhabi Championship. | 30851623 |
The 29-year-old man suffered serious head injuries in the collision with a purple Mazda on the B9016 Keith to Buckie road, near Aultmore, shortly after 20:00 on Sunday.
He was flown to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment.
The road was closed for several hours for accident investigators to examine the scene. It later reopened.
Sgt Jon Barron of Police Scotland said: "Detailed enquiries are under way in order to establish the full circumstances of this serious collision.
"I would like to take this opportunity to urge any potential witnesses to come forward and speak to us."
"In particular, the enquiry team are interested in speaking to anyone who witnessed the actual collision and anyone who saw either of the vehicles prior to the incident or who may have been driving in the immediate area around the time."

Farah established a new British record of seven minutes 32.62 seconds, with Butchart, 24, running 7:45:00.
Butchart ran the fastest Scottish 5,000m last month in what was a second Olympic qualifying standard.
He also managed a personal best over 10,000m in May, with the Olympic trials to come in Birmingham on 24-26 June.
Eilidh Doyle continued her fine start to the season with a second place in the 400m hurdles, finishing with the same time [54.57 secs] as USA's Cassandra Tate but missing out on the photo finish.
Doyle, 29, had won the Diamond League opener in Doha and then taken third in Rome, and she led to the line here before Tate's late surge and dip.

"It's a brilliant class of athletes out there, so to be that close, I can't complain," Doyle told BBC Sport.
Lynsey Sharp ran under two minutes for the 800m but that was only good enough for fourth place, with Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi clocking an impressive 1:56.92 to win. | Andrew Butchart set a new Scottish record over 3,000m, finishing fourth behind Mo Farah at the Diamond League meeting in Birmingham. | 36456177 |

About 70 school children and commuters face a 32-mile round-trip instead of a three-minute ride on the Hayling Island Ferry to Eastney.
The Hayling Island Ferry company said it had filed a notice at court to appoint administrators.
Last year, the firm was fined ??6,000 for carrying too many passengers.
Earlier, it tweeted "closed" on its account.
The Tina Marie vessel is certified to carry 12 passengers and two crew, but landed between 16 and 27 passengers at Hayling Island, during four crossings in January and February last year.
It was also put out of action for months after technical problems and safety breaches.
A spokesman for the ferry company said chartered accountants Baker Tilly had been approached to assist the directors of the company.
The service has been running for more than 200 years.
Boats can travel up to 30 times a day during the week. | The only ferry linking an island off Hampshire to Portsmouth has stopped operating, with the company set to appoint administrators. | 32131350 |
Neil Taylor and Gylfi Sigurdsson will also miss the Premier League run-in with injuries, but the Euro-bound pair are not doubts for the tournament.
The Swans play West Ham on Saturday before facing Manchester City on the final day of the Premier League season.
"For us it's better to rest and prepare for next season," boss Francesco Guidolin told BBC Wales Sport.
"Ashley is very tired, he played a lot of games in this season. Jefferson Montero is not 100% and Gylfi and Neil Taylor need treatment and they are not available. "
Williams has played in every minute of Swansea's 2015-16 Premier League campaign, while Taylor has missed just one league game.
"He [Williams] needs a break. He is our skipper, he is a good player, a leader and very important for our team," Guidolin said.
Swansea confirmed their Premier League status and a sixth-straight top flight season with a 3-1 win against Liverpool.
But the Swans head coach hopes his side can finish on a high and relax in the knowledge they are not in a relegation fight.
"Manchester City can compete for the top four and West Ham as well. It's difficult for us, but I am confident because we have a good group," Guidolin added.
"Freedom is a dangerous word for football because it is important to play focused and concentrate as the Premier League is very difficult.
"We will play against clubs with an important target, but I think it is better to have this problem than the problem of [Sunderland manager] Sam Allardyce or [Newcastle manager] Rafa Benitez." | Wales have been given a Euro 2016 boost as captain Ashley Williams will be rested for Swansea's last two games. | 36216907 |
Five police officers were killed on 8 July when a gunman opened fire at officers during a peaceful protest.
The Shooter, which stars Ryan Phillippe as an expert marksman, was due to start on 19 July.
Co-star EddieMcClintock tweeted that the show had been delayed until 26 July "as a show of respect, and to honour the fallen officers of Dallas, Texas".
The 10-part series is based on the best-selling novel Point of Impact, by Stephen Hunter, and the 2007 film starring Mark Wahlberg.
It follows an expert marksman living in exile who is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president.
A spokesperson for the USA Network told the Hollywood Reporter: "In light of recent tragic events and out of respect for the victims, their families and our viewers, we have decided to postpone the premiere date for the upcoming USA Network series Shooter to July 26."
Phillippe, who is also a producer of the show, plays Bob Lee Swagger, an expert marksman, who is persuaded to return to work for a clandestine operation by his former commanding officer played by Omar Epps.
Wahlberg is an executive producer on the show.
When the series was announced Jackie de Crinis, Executive Vice President of Original Programming at the USA Network said the show was "an uncompromising exploration of the definition and evolution of a hero."

Scott Ellis, "brutally executed" Jane Bartholomew at her house in Martlesham Heath, Ipswich Crown Court heard.
Her body was found by their daughter when she returned home from school.
Ellis, who had a personality disorder which was said to make him lose control, will serve a minimum of 22 years.
Ms Bartholomew, 39, who had three children with Ellis, died as a result of receiving 20 blows from a hammer.
They had lived together in Melton but sold their flat 10 years ago and then lived apart while their relationship continued, the court was told.
The jury heard Ellis, 42, of Tunstall, had been told by Ms Bartholomew earlier in the year that unless he got a job and started to be a "proper dad" then the relationship would be over.
Their relationship ended shortly before Ms Bartholomew was killed in June, the court heard.
The prosecution said Ellis had told friends he had thought about killing her and went on to buy a "killing kit" containing a hammer, a spade, nylon ropes and plastic bags.
He let himself into her home while she was taking their two youngest daughters to primary school, and then waited for her.
After killing Ms Bartholomew, Ellis tied her up, put plastic bags over her feet and head and then left.
Her body was found by their oldest daughter.
Speaking after the sentencing, Det Insp Kevin Hayward said it was a "terrible tragedy".
"Jane had been hit around the head around 20 times and she had also sustained injuries to her arms and hands, suggesting that she had put up a defensive fight against Ellis," he said.
"It would appear that this was a murder fuelled by rejection and jealousy that Jane wanted to move on with her life." | A man who bought a "killing kit" containing a hammer, spade, ropes and plastic bags and bludgeoned his ex-girlfriend to death has been jailed. | 30412527 |
Mr Bird, 78, from Barnsley, was regarded as one of the game's most popular and consistent umpires.
A guard of honour by the players and a standing ovation from the crowd marked his final Test, between England and India, at Lord's in 1996.
After retiring in 1998, he set up the Dickie Bird Foundation which gives grants to under-privileged children.
Speaking about the award, Mr Bird told the BBC: "It came as quite a surprise... but I'm tremendously delighted and honoured to get this great honour, this OBE.
"It's a marvellous and wonderful honour and I never expected it, really.
"It came out of the blue, because I got the MBE in 1986 which is a long time ago, and so when this came along I was completely stunned, shocked."
Talking about his foundation, Mr Bird said: "It's for under-privileged kids, who the mothers and parents can't afford to buy them sports equipment... and if we think they are a worthy cause then we send them a grant.
"And my aim is to get them off street corners, away from television, doing exercises and giving them a start in life."

It means the 21-year-old will not play for the Cranes in Saturday's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Botswana.
"Decision time [for Lorenzen] will be after the match against Botswana," Uganda FA communications manager Ahmed Hussein said.
He impressed for Uganda in a friendly 2-0 loss to Zimbabwe on Tuesday.
Lorenzen was born in London and qualifies to play for Uganda through his father, he also has German citizenship thanks to his mother.
Uganda coach Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic praised the contribution Lorenzen had made during his time with the squad.
"We shall definitely miss the extra impetus he would have brought to the team as we saw in the friendly match against Zimbabwe," the coach said.
"So for now we shall concentrate on the able players we have in the team to accomplish our mission."
The coach will be worried about the fitness of striker Faruku Miya, who plays in Belgium for Standard Leige, after he missed the loss to Zimbabwe with concussion.
The Cranes will also be without US-based midfielder Mike Azira, who has chosen not to join the squad citing fatigue after a busy MLS season with Colorado Rapids.
Moses Oloya also misses out having stayed in Vietnam in order to recover from injury.

Saunders, who twice had his first title defence postponed because of injury, looked second best in the early stages and struggled to let off his shots.
However, the Englishman picked up the pace in the second half of the fight to win on all three judges' cards.
The undefeated 27-year-old is targeting a fight with Gennady Golovkin in 2017.
"I should be embarrassed to talk about Golovkin after that performance, but I want that big fight in 2017 to put that terrible fight right," he said of the WBC, WBA and IBF champion.
Saunders extended his record to 24 wins, with 12 knockouts, after the judges called it 116-113, 116-112, and 115-113 in his favour. | Billy Joe Saunders put in a sluggish performance to retain his WBO world middleweight title by beating Russia's Artur Akavov on points. | 38198724 |

The group accuses the lawyers of cheating them out of money.
The lawyers negotiated the rights relating to films, TV series and books based on the miners' ordeal.
The plaintiffs allege that they were badly advised by the lawyers, who they say conned them into signing away their rights.
The plaintiffs said that lawyers Remberto Rodrigo Valdes and Fernando Garcia "misled the 33, making them believe they would manage their own company, only to harm them and appropriate monies that rightfully belonged to them".
Luis Urzua, who was the shift leader when the rockfall happened, said at the courthouse that "today we're being rescued for a second time".
"The contracts we signed were not what the lawyers said they would be, for example of the $150m [£97m] paid to our company, we only received 17%," Mr Urzua said.
He also said that he hoped that by bringing the lawsuit the remaining 24 miners would be convinced of the validity of the plaintiffs' claim.
"Now they'll see that we're not acting on a whim."
But Mario Sepulveda, one of the miners who has not joined the lawsuit, said the plaintiffs were "letting themselves be led astray by people who haven't read the contracts properly".
A Hollywood film about the miners' rescue starring Antonio Banderas as Mr Sepulveda is currently on release.
The miners became celebrities when their rescue was transmitted live by TV stations around the world.
They had hoped their financial future would be secured, but five years on many say they still suffer from the psychological scars left by their ordeal. | Nine of the 33 miners who in 2010 were trapped by a rockfall in a mine in Chile for 69 days before being rescued are suing their lawyers. | 34709094 |
Negotiations are continuing between the former Celtic boss and the Scottish Championship club with a view to him succeeding Alan Stubbs.
Stubbs left for Rotherham United last week after two seasons in charge and having just won the Scottish Cup.
Lennon is believed to want Garry Parker as his number two at Hibs, who missed out promotion to the Premiership after a play-off defeat by Falkirk.
The pair played together at Leicester City and Lennon had Parker as part of his coaching team at Celtic and Bolton Wanderers.
Former Northern Ireland midfielder Lennon, who won the League Cup twice as a player with Leicester, served Celtic as a player for six-and-a-half years, winning five Scottish titles and six domestic cups.
After a spell back in English football, Lennon rejoined Celtic as a coach in 2008 and eventually became manager in 2010.
He enjoyed further success in the dugout at Celtic Park with three successive top-flight titles and two Scottish Cup triumphs before leaving in 2014.
A move to Bolton followed later that year and, although Wanderers initially improved under Lennon, they were bottom of the Championship by the time he left in March, with the side eventually relegated.
Hibs have spent the last two seasons in Scotland's second tier, having also lost out in the promotion play-offs in 2015.
However, having ended their 114-year wait to win the Scottish Cup, the Edinburgh club will enter the Europa League qualifying rounds, with their first match on 14 July.
On Sunday, Stubbs told BBC Scotland he thought that Lennon, his former Celtic team-mate, would be a "a good choice" for the Easter Road vacancy. | Neil Lennon could be appointed Hibernian manager later this week. | 36474718 |

The club are bottom of the top Premier League and 10 points from safety.
"In football terms, this is a crisis," Hollis told BBC Sport's Pat Murphy. "This is the worst position this club has been in for many a decade."
Hollis said the "chequebook hasn't been locked away" should boss Remi Garde want to sign players and also defended club owner Randy Lerner.
United States-based Lerner, who bought Villa in 2006, announced at the end of last season he was looking to sell the club.
"Randy has actually put more than £200m in player signings, new money, coming into this over the last 10 years," said Hollis.
However, he said "spending big cheques" was not going to help ease the club's predicament and instead believes stability is the key.
"Five different managers in five seasons," he said.
"How can new players coming in or existing players hired by the previous manager know what the game plan is?"
Villa are bottom of the table after collecting just two wins and 12 points from 22 games and look destined for relegation to the Championship.
Garde was appointed at the start of November following the sacking of Tim Sherwood, who guided Villa to the FA Cup final last season. | Aston Villa are in their worst "crisis" for decades, according to the club's new chairman Steven Hollis. | 35378292 |
The Australian, 27, felt unwell on the coach following the 37-22 defeat and was taken to Leeds General Infirmary.
Bulls football manager Stuart Duffy said: "Adrian had an immediate primary angioplasty to remove the blockage in his artery.
"But both the club and the player wish to point out that at no time did he suffer a cardiac arrest."
Duffy continued: "His heart did not stop beating and he was conscious throughout the journey to hospital.
"Adrian is feeling much better today but will remain in hospital for the next few days for further tests."
Purtell, who joined from from Penrith Panthers in 2011, added: "I have read all the messages and would like to thank everyone for their concern.

It has emerged Infantino co-signed a television rights contract in 2006 with two businessmen who have since been accused of bribery.
Infantino has denied any wrongdoing.
Uefa says it is providing police with all relevant documents in its possession and "will co-operate fully".
Cross Trading, owned by Hugo Jinkis and his son, Mariano, bought TV rights for Uefa Champions League football in 2006 and immediately sold them on to Ecuadorian TV broadcaster Teleamazonas for almost three times the price.
News of the contract came to light after 11 million documents were leaked from Mossack Fonseca.
Uefa initially denied doing business with any of the 14 people who have been indicted by the FBI in its investigation into corruption in world football.
It has now told the BBC the TV rights were sold to the highest bidder in an open and competitive tender process.
A senior Fifa source has told the BBC the deal should be examined by the governing body's ethics committee in the interests of transparency.

Many of those killed in the incident in the state capital of Patna were women and children, Bihar chief secretary Anjani Kumar Singh told the BBC.
He said 24 others were taken to the state hospital with injuries.
The stampede broke out in Patna's Gandhi Maidan, as celebrations for the festival of Dussehra were being held.
It is not yet clear what caused the incident, with reports suggesting it occurred in a narrow road as crowds dispersed from the outdoor venue.
Eyewitnesses quoted by India's NDTV say the stampede started after word spread through the crowd that an electrical wire had snapped off and fallen down.
Local journalist Niraj Sahay, who was at the scene, says an eyewitness told him that only one of the exits was opened for people to leave.
The stampede started when some wires fell on the crowd, which people thought were electricity wires, he tells BBC Hindi.
Hindu festivals in India are notorious for deadly stampedes, with large crowds often gathering in confined spaces.
Crowd control is sometimes poor, with casualties from stampedes in some cases running into hundreds, BBC South Asia editor Jill McGivering says.
In August 10 people were killed in another stampede at the Hindu festival of Somvati Amavasya in central India.
In October 2013 some 91 pilgrims, mostly women and children, were killed in a stampede at a Hindu festival near the Ratangarh temple in Madhya Pradesh state. | At least 32 people have died in a stampede at a Hindu religious festival in Bihar in northern India, officials say. | 29479618 |
The 36-year-old former Leeds, Manchester United, Newcastle and MK Dons midfielder took over after John Sheridan was sacked on Monday.
Smith told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I couldn't tell you how long this will happen, but I am caretaker manager and I believe it will just be for Saturday.
"I believe someone will come in and they will be an experienced manager."
The Magpies, who face Morecambe on Saturday, are on a nine-game losing streak in League Two and are only one place and one point clear of the relegation zone.
"I will enjoy it (being in charge), although I won't enjoy it if we get beat," continued Smith.
"I'm not going to play, I'm going to watch and try to help the lads as much as possible.
"The main thing is to build confidence and install some belief we can get a result, as there's no reason why we can't.
"It has been tinged with disappointment obviously, losing someone I respect a lot in John.
"The strange thing about it is being in this situation, he's (Sheridan) the one person you'd probably turn to." | Notts County caretaker manager Alan Smith says he expects to be in charge of the club for only one game. | 38530293 |

McIlroy is going for his third career win at the tournament, having also won it for his maiden Tour win in 2009.
"I have some great memories and I get a lot of support here," said McIlroy.
The Northern Irishman will face some stiff competition from the likes of former Dubai resident Henrik Stenson, who won the Desert Classic in 2007.
Martin Kaymer, Louis Oosthuizen and Graeme McDowell are also in the field at the Emirates Club.
"Leaving any tournament without a win is sort of disappointing, but you try to put a positive spin on it," said McIlroy, who is a combined 81 under par for his last six appearances in this event.
"I think golfers, that is what we usually do. We are disappointed for a bit and then we try to put positive spins on it, and the nice thing is there's always a next week in golf.
"I'm sort of going for three in a row in Dubai with winning here last year and then winning the DP World Tour Championship at the end of last season, so it seems to bring out my best golf.
"There are a couple of little things that I took from Abu Dhabi (where he finished third) and worked on last week.

Lawyers for the child claim the picture was blackmailed from her and repeatedly published online as a form of revenge.
The girl is taking legal action against Facebook and the man who posted the photo in what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the world.
A judge in Belfast refused Facebook's bid to end proceedings.
The case will now advance to full trial at a later date.
The girl's photograph was said to have been posted on a so-called "shame" page on Facebook several times between November 2014 and January 2016.
A lawyer for the teenager likened it to a method of child abuse.
It was contended that Facebook had the power to block any republication by using a DNA process to identify the image.
The court heard it should have been a "red-line" issue for the company.
The girl, who cannot be identified, is seeking damages for misuse of private information, negligence and breach of the Data Protection Act.
A lawyer for Facebook argued the claim for damages should be dismissed, saying the company always took down the picture when it was notified.
Facebook's lawyers relied on a European directive, claiming it provides protection from having to monitor a vast amount of online material for what is posted on one page. | Facebook has failed in a bid to halt legal action over a naked photograph of a 14-year-old Northern Ireland girl being posted on the site. | 37340157 |

The news comes as frustrated Berkshire residents hit by the 2014 floods say "not a lot has happened" so far to stop the river from overflowing again.
The section from Datchet in Berkshire to Teddington in London needs £300m for a flood channel and weir improvements.
The Environment Agency said a lot of work had been done since last year.
East Berkshire was one of the areas worst hit in the UK by the flooding in February 2014.
Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead councillor for Wraysbury, Colin Rayner, said in 18 months "not a lot has happened apart from lots of talk, paperwork and lots of schemes".
He said: "I believe not one bit of the River Thames has been dredged since the floods, and no improvements made to the weirs.
"My fear is that we might be in the same place again if we have heavy rains again."
David Murphy, who heads up the flood alleviation project at the Environment Agency, said the scheme was actually "progressing really well".
He said, as well as repairing all the affected flood defences, the agency had "carried out site and ground investigation works along the proposed route of the flood channel".
He said funding had been found for the first phase of the scheme, which looks at development and design of the flood channel.
But he added that another "£45m to £50m" was needed for the construction phase of the scheme.
"We're looking at a number of sources from European funds to local levies," he said.
The River Thames scheme includes work to construct a flood channel and improve three of the existing Thames weirs.
Construction of the flood channel is expected to start in 2020 and is expected to take about five years to complete. | Up to £50m is still needed to fund a flood alleviation scheme on the lower part of the River Thames, the Environment Agency has said. | 33593637 |
The bronze statue, which was installed at Our Lady Immaculate and St Philip Neri Church, Uckfield, Sussex, in 2009, had become a popular nesting place.
Droppings from pigeons were spoiling the look of the statue and making the area underneath very slippery.
Parts have now been covered with small pots of an ultraviolet gel which has a flame-like appearance to birds.
The creatures are also disgusted by the smell and taste of the substance.
Alan Duncan, who looks after maintenance at the church, said he was delighted that the gel pots appeared to have deterred the birds.
"We were at a loss as to what to do next. At one point we put anti-bird spikes on various resting places, painting them gold to match the halo.
"Unfortunately, the pigeons were most comfortable with the additions," he added.
The £35,000 statue, by Lewes sculptor Marcus Cornish, was commissioned to mark the church's 50th anniversary.

The eight-year-old leopard strayed into a closed school in Bangalore on 7 February, injuring several people before being tranquilised.
It was taken to Bannerghatta National Park for medical treatment but on Sunday broke out of its cage.
But officials said there was no cause for public alarm.
"It is a myth that a leopard can turn into a man-eater. It's a very remote exception to the rule. On this count, there is no need for worry," Ravi Ralph, chief wildlife warden in the south Indian state of Karnataka, told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.
However, as a precautionary measure, forest officials have started visiting villages located along the periphery of the park to advise people not to panic.
Officials said the leopard escaped when attendants opened the cage to feed it, possibly when the cage door was not properly shut.
"They say that it could have got out through a gap in the railing. There is a lot of incongruity in the statements made by the staff there. So, we have ordered an inquiry. We should know the details in the next two or three days," Mr Ralph said.
The escape came one week after the leopard broke into the school in the Kundalahalli area.
A scientist and a forestry employee were among those mauled as it was cornered close to a swimming pool.
It took forest and police officials 12 hours to capture the animal.
A recent wildlife census estimates that India has a leopard population of between 12,000 and 14,000.
Leopards and other big cats have been known to stray into populated areas, and conservationists have warned that such confrontations may increase as humans encroach on animal habitats. | A male leopard that mauled six people at a school in India before it was captured has escaped its enclosure, officials said. | 35584909 |
The Glasgow-born presenter insisted that he was not retiring, saying: "I'm not stopping doing it, I'm stopping doing this."
The 52-year-old's role will be filled by British actor and presenter James Corden from 23 March.
Ferguson's final guest was Jay Leno, who bowed out of hosting The Tonight Show earlier this year.
The pair spoke about the pitfalls of presenting chat shows, while Leno said that it was "fun being a comedian again instead of a talk show host".
According to reports from Hollywood, Ferguson, who fronted the late night show on CBS for 2,058 episodes, is expected to present a new early evening programme.
But he remained tight-lipped about the precise nature of his future plans during his final appearance.
Corden, known for presenting the Brit Awards and starring in sitcom Gavin and Stacey, was confirmed as the new Late Late Show presenter in September and made an appearance on the programme on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old said he was "hugely excited" to host the programme and would do his best "to make a show that America will enjoy".
The actor's profile in the US was boosted in 2012 when he won a Tony for his role in the Broadway transfer of stage hit One Man, Two Guvnors.
He was recently seen alongside Keira Knightley in the musical romance Begin Again and has a role in big-screen musical Into the Woods, released in the US on Christmas Day. | Craig Ferguson has hosted his last edition of US TV programme The Late Late Show after a run of 10 years. | 30562709 |
The Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union said members voted for Wednesday's 24 hour walkout at Allied Bakeries after changes to holiday entitlements and shift patterns.
Union representative John James said he hoped the issue could be resolved.
The company said it was in discussions with unions.
Mr James said 56 out of 70 workers who cast ballots voted for industrial action, timed to coincide with the lead-up to Easter.
Mike Auden, general manager at Allied Bakeries Wales, said: "We can confirm that we are in discussions with unions at our Cardiff bakery regarding a wage related matter.
"We are listening to employees and working hard to maintain open and constructive dialogue with our workforce.
"On that basis we hope that the strike action called for next week will not go ahead." | Workers at a Cardiff bakery plan to strike, affecting the production of some of the 900,000 hot cross buns produced there in the run-up to Easter. | 35846098 |
After a first lap of 133.37mph on his Hawk Racing BMW, Dunlop bettered that with 133.39mph on lap two, in a time of 16 minutes 58.25 seconds.
For the Ballymoney rider, it was his 12th success at the event and his third in the Superbike race.
Dunlop, 27, beat Ian Hutchinson by 19 seconds, with John McGuinness in third.
McGuinness was 54 seconds behind Yorkshireman Hutchinson.
"The bike never missed a beat and it's great to be a winner again," said Dunlop, who becomes the fourth most successful solo rider at the annual races.
"After two laps, I just got into a groove and kept it steady. It was all about bringing the bike home.
"This wasn't a big factory set-up with a big budget, it was a bike built in a small workshop, but the guys did a brilliant job."
Dunlop set the pace from the start and had built up a 3.5-second lead over Tyco BMW-mounted Hutchinson by the end of the opening lap - that despite Hutchinson also being inside John McGuinness' year-old course lap record with a speed of 132.89mph.
The Northern Ireland rider continued to extend his advantage and was more than one minute inside the race record when he took the chequered flag.
English trio Peter Hickman, Dean Harrison and Michael Rutter made up the top-six leaderboard, with Australian David Johnson seventh, riding a Norton, and New Zealand's Bruce Anstey eighth.

The Anglian Sovereign covers Orkney and Shetland but was sent to shadow the escort of a cargo ship to Lewis after it ran aground on Monday night.
The incident came just days after the Western Isles' tug, Anglian Monarch, was withdrawn from coastguard duties.
Other UK emergency towing vessels were withdrawn last year.
In October, the UK government agreed to short extensions to the contracts for the hire of two vessels for Scotland following a campaign by local authorities and politicians.
The funding package for the Anglian Monarch ended at the weekend and at midnight for the Anglian Sovereign.
Talks are still going on between the UK government and the oil and gas industry about how future cover for the Northern Isles might be provided and funded.
Shetland Islands Council convener Sandy Cluness had described the withdrawal of the Anglian Sovereign without a deal being finalised as a "disgrace".
However, MP Alistair Carmichael has told BBC Scotland that the vessel will stay on duty to allow an agreement to be reached. | The contract for the UK's last coastguard tug has been extended after earlier plans to withdraw it from duties at midnight were abandoned. | 17457235 |
Hernanes and Simone Zaza scored the goals as Juventus extended their club record for successive home clean sheets to 10.
They were crowned champions for the fifth season in a row on Monday when Napoli, their closest challengers, lost to Roma.
And their players celebrated with fans after maintaining their stunning form.
Hernanes' first-half strike and Simone Zaza's late header helped Massimiliano Allegri's men brush aside relegation-threatened Carpi.
They can complete a double by beating AC Milan in the Italian cup final on 21 May.
"I am happy with the win," Allegri said. "It was a good one to get because the crowd was smaller than usual, after the celebrations and such.
"It pleased me that we did not concede a goal. Now we are thinking about the last two games and then the Coppa Italia final, which we are all looking forward to." | Juventus celebrated the Serie A title in style with a 10th successive league win. | 36125996 |
Lead panels were stolen from the roof of West Monmouth School in Pontypool on 31 December causing the ceilings to collapse on the IT suite and art rooms and damaging student's exam work.
Henllys Church in Wales School and Croesyceiliog Comprehensive, both in Cwmbran, were targeted in November.
Torfaen said it was a "massive waste of council resources".
Council leader Anthony Hunt said the latest attack was "devastating for pupils" who returned after the Christmas break to find their hard work ruined.
The council has CCTV footage of the most recent incident which they have passed to the Gwent Police.
Mr Hunt said: "This is not the first time we have faced this problem in Torfaen and the roofs have all been treated with SmartWater, which has previously helped the police to trace and prosecute individuals.
"We have also replaced a lot of lead with substitutes, so thieves could end up with something that is worthless to them." | Metal thefts from schools in Torfaen have left the county council facing an £86,000 repair bill. | 38519059 |
Last year, Barnardo's helped 3,200 vulnerable children, compared with 1,190 in 2010.
The charity says it needs to raise an extra £500,000 to cope with the UK-wide increase in demand for its experts.
Chief executive Javed Khan said recent high-profile sexual abuse cases had encouraged more children to speak out.
Mr Khan said: "Everywhere we go, we find more young people needing our services.
"We all need to be aware any child can become a victim of this horrific form of abuse, regardless of where they live or their background."
Barnardo's has opened 11 new services in the past year, bringing the total to 59, but a spokesman said it was still not enough to meet demand.
"Reports to police about child sexual abuse are at record levels, but current services do not reflect this surge," said the spokesman.
"We also know recorded abuse is just scratching the surface of the total number of victims out there.
"As more and more children bravely speak out against their abusers it's vital therapeutic services are there to help them move forward positively from their horrendous experiences."
The charity calculates:
It adds that relieving the trauma of sexual abuse in victims can take years of intensive therapy and counselling. | A surge in children as young as 10 seeking help after sex abuse has seen demand for services more than double in five years, says a leading charity. | 35430006 |
Karen James took on at the role at Tameside General Hospital last July after former chief executive Christine Green quit.
The hospital was one of 14 placed under scrutiny for its high death rates last year.
An inspection in January also found "serious shortfalls" at the site.
Now Ms James has been given the job permanently at the Ashton-under-Lyne hospital after a successful interview.
She said: "The hospital has made huge steps over the last 12 months.
"We still have a long way to go on our path, but I am delighted to have the opportunity to play a role in getting this hospital firmly back on its feet and delivering the kind of healthcare the local community deserve."
Denton and Reddish MP Andrew Gwynne praised the appointment, and said Ms James had made "a significant difference to the staff and patients."

It is understood the Liberal MP, who died in 2010, was stopped on the M1 in Northamptonshire during the 1980s.
But he was released from police custody after making a telephone call to an unidentified third party in London, it has been claimed.
Northamptonshire Police is probing the circumstances around the arrest.
Labour MP Simon Danczuk first made the claim in his book about Smith, published last year.
He alleged Smith was stopped on suspicion of a driving offence, but quickly released after he made the phone call.
Despite being taken into the police station, the material said to have been found in his boot disappeared, Mr Danczuk said.
Northamptonshire Police has launched an investigation into the claims, the BBC has learned.
Lead officer Supt Steve Lingley said: "We're investigating it as an historic report and we want to make sure that we get the facts using the right resources.
"If Cyril Smith was stopped on the M1, and was arrested by Northamptonshire Police, I want to know who those officers are.
"We want to understand why they released him.
"We want to know if they came under any pressure, who that person was that gave the instruction to be released."
The force's Police and Crime Commissioner Adam Simmonds said the suspicion was officers were "brought under pressure from somebody in London to release Smith".
"What worries me the most about that is, if we had reason to hold onto him, this man was released back into the community and continued to perpetrate heinous crimes," he said.
Earlier this week, it was claimed an undercover investigation gathering evidence of child abuse claims in the 1980s against Smith was 'scrapped' shortly after he was arrested on a separate occasion. | A cold case unit is to investigate claims police released MP Cyril Smith after images of child abuse were found in the boot of his car. | 31964255 |
Davies has spent seven years with the club but will leave at the end of the season because of budget cuts.
Coaches Alan Paver and Gavin Cattle will take joint charge at the Mennaye Field for the 2016/17 campaign.
"It's helped them having me here and it's certainly energised me having those guys," Davies told BBC Cornwall.
"They're still learning their trade and they're going to make mistakes, but then everybody makes mistakes - you don't improve unless you make a few errors.
"They are fantastic individuals and they're going to be fantastic coaches. Hopefully they've seen me as a good mentor who's helped them in some way."
The match itself is a dead rubber, with both teams safely in mid-table, although Pirates have the incentive of possibly above the Exiles.
Davies will take up a new post as head of rugby at Christ's Hospital School in Sussex.
"I suppose post-match on Sunday will be quite emotional, but at the moment we're determined to try and get that win," he added to BBC Radio Cornwall.

The state-owned Aero-Engine Group of China was created by combining a group of existing aircraft-engine companies, according to local media reports.
It has about 50bn yuan ($7.5bn) in registered capital and will develop both military and commercial engines.
China already makes its own planes, but has struggled for decades to develop engines that meet global requirements.
China currently buys its commercial aircraft engines from General Electric and United Technologies' Pratt & Whitney. China's military jets uses Russian-made engines.
President Xi Jinping called the new creation of the new company a "strategic move" aimed at developing China's reputation as a global aviation power, Xinhua news agency said.

The merger, between the City of Bath College and Norton Radstock College, will bring together more than 3,000 full time and 1,000 part time students.
Norton Radstock College was given the poor rating after Ofsted said leaders had not carried out suggested improvements "with sufficient urgency".
Bath College will run from the Avon Street and Somer Valley campuses.
Principal Matt Atkinson said the merger would allow it to offer a wider range of vocational and academic courses.
The Ofsted report followed an inspection at Norton Radstock College in May 2014.
It said the leadership team had "not acted with sufficient determination to ensure that targets, actions and sharing of best practice have secured consistent improvement across the college".
It added since its last full inspection in March 2010 the college had "not improved significantly" and that the principal, senior leaders and managers have "been too slow to ensure planned improvements have enough impact".
Then the education watchdog described Norton Radstock College as a "satisfactory college with a good capacity to improve". | Two Somerset colleges have merged after one of them received an inadequate Ofsted rating. | 32202187 |

Research by Project MinE, published in Nature Genetics, is the largest-ever study of inherited ALS, also known as motor neurone disease (MND).
More than 80 researchers in 11 countries searched for ALS risk genes in families affected by the disease.
"The sophisticated gene analysis that led to this finding was only possible because of the large number of ALS samples available," Lucie Bruijn of the ALS Association says.
The identification of gene NEK1 means scientists can now develop a gene therapy treating it.
Although only 10% of ALS patients have the inherited form, researchers believe that genetics contribute to a much larger percentage of cases.
Social media was awash with videos of people pouring cold water over their heads to raise money for ALS in the summer of 2014.
More than 17 million people uploaded videos to Facebook, including many celebrities who rose to the challenge, which were then watched by 440 million people worldwide. | The Ice Bucket Challenge that went viral in 2014 has funded an important scientific gene discovery in the progressive neurodegenerative disease ALS, the ALS Association says. | 36901867 |
Nathan Hughes scored the only goal of the game in front of a crowd of almost 4,250 at Hereford's Edgar Street ground.
The club was formed in the wake of the collapse of Hereford United, which was wound up in December 2014.
Chairman Jon Hale said there was a "lot of love" for the "phoenix club" in Hereford.
The goal came midway through the second half.
Nathan Hughes will write his name in Hereford FC history as the player who scored the first goal at the new ground.
The new club has negotiated a five-year tenancy at Edgar Street - the former Hereford United ground.
Mr Hale said the match against FC United - which was founded by Manchester United fans in response to the Glazer family's takeover - was particularly special because Hereford had drawn on that club's experience.
FC United have risen through the non-league ranks over the past decade and will start the new season in The National League North - previously the Conference North - after promotion from the Northern League.
"They have had a fantastic journey and have been really helpful and given us lots of advice," Mr Hale said.
Hereford United was wound up by a High Court judge after a petition brought by HM Revenue and Customs, which is thought to be owed £116,000.
The club was expelled from the Football Conference in June 2014 after failing to pay creditors.

Cook, who led his country to a 3-1 Ashes Test win the summer, is one of three England players in the side.
Bowler Stuart Broad, who took career-best figures of 8-15 during the fourth Test against Australia in August, was also selected, as was Joe Root.
Batsman Root was named as 12th man in the ICC's one-day team of the year, with no England player making the 11.
It was the fifth time in seven years that Broad has been selected for the ICC Test team.
Both teams were chosen by a selection panel chaired by former India captain Anil Kumble.
David Warner - one of three Australia players selected - was picked to open the batting with Cook in the Test side, while his national captain Steve Smith was included in both teams.
South Africa's AB de Villiers was chosen as captain of the one-day team of the year.

"Our bowling performance in the last 10 overs was fantastic," Taylor told BBC Sport. "We limited what South Africa could do and were really smart with what we did."
The tourists made a slow start and were stuttering at 41-3 after the cheap dismissals of captain Charlotte Edwards, Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones.
However, they were boosted by wicketkeeper Taylor's 51-ball effort, in which she struck 11 fours, with Shrubsole arriving to help take 18 from Shabnim Ismail's final over.
Van Niekerk and Chetty made 52 and 46 respectively, but struggled to keep pace with the run rate on a playing area with long boundaries.
Once they were dismissed within four balls of each other, South Africa's middle order found themselves with too much to do.
England play another two Twenty20 internationals against South Africa - in Cape Town on Friday and Johannesburg on Sunday - before travelling to India to prepare for the World Twenty20.

Fell, 22, was diagnosed at the end of last summer and missed the start of this season after undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
He has now returned to action and is playing in Worcestershire's 2nd XI.
"We very much want him back," Rhodes told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
Fell was the youngest batsman in the country to pass 1,000 runs in 2015 as he hit three centuries and averaged 41.69, despite Worcestershire's relegation from Division One.
"He's a quality cricketer and one of our best bats," Rhodes added. "He's recovered from a serious illness and we're all delighted to have him back playing.
"I spoke to him the other day and he's desperate to get back into the first team, so he'll be pushing and making sure everyone else is on their toes."
Fell is not the only player in the Second XI trying to nudge Rhodes for a crack at first-team cricket.
Rhodes' son George made his debut in Worcestershire's One-Day Cup win at Yorkshire, with the all-rounder taking 2-34 from 10 overs.
Batsman Alex Hepburn was also in the squad for that game, after playing two matches in the competition last season.
Opening batsman Ollie Westbury and middle-order player Zen Malik have also struck second-team hundreds and Rhodes is delighted with the progress they are making.
"Our academy is showing there's another crop coming through," Rhodes said.
"George gets it tough because you don't want to be seen to be giving your son favouritism, but he's very professional and I was very pleased to see him start so well."

The city of Hamburg had rejected Juergen Roemer's plea to be put in a more favourable tax category.
But that decision may amount to sex discrimination, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled.
Mr Roemer claimed he was entitled to 302 euros (£265) a month more.
The judges said that under German law same-sex partnerships - called "registered life partnerships" - are now comparable to marriage.
Mr Roemer had worked for the Hamburg city authorities for 40 years. He retired in 1990 and in October 2001 told his former employer that he had established a registered life partnership with his male partner.
Mr Roemer had been living with his companion since 1969 and German same-sex partnerships were given legal status in February 2001.
While many European states recognise homosexual civil unions, only Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, Norway and Iceland legally acknowledge same-sex marriage.
The ECJ ruling on Tuesday may give legal weight to similar claims in other EU countries.
The judges said individuals could claim against a local authority for the right to equal treatment under EU law, even if national law contained no provision relevant to their case. | The EU's top court has ruled that a retired German man in a same-sex civil partnership should enjoy the same tax status as a married man when his pension is calculated. | 13352986 |
The star is up for best actress for her role as a demonic fairy in The Skriker at the Royal Exchange theatre.
It is the second year in a row she has been up for best actress, after being nominated for playing Hamlet last year.
This year, she is also nominated for best new play for writing Beryl, about cycling champion Beryl Burton, which was staged at The Lowry in Salford.
Peake, known for TV dramas like Shameless, Silk and The Village, wrote Beryl but did not appear in it.
The play, which started life as a BBC Radio 4 drama, told the story of the woman who won seven world titles and held the UK women's all-round title for 25 consecutive years.
The Manchester Evening News' City Life supplement, meanwhile, has named The Skriker the best play of 2015 in its own annual awards.
In her review, the paper's Dianne Bourne described Peake as overseeing "her debauched band of zombie fiends like a cross between Vivienne Westwood and the Virgin Queen".
The production of Caryl Churchill's play was part of last summer's Manchester International Festival.
The Manchester Theatre Awards winners will be announced on 4 March.
Bolton's Octagon theatre leads the main acting and production categories, followed closely by the Royal Exchange and Oldham Coliseum. The Lowry dominates the shortlists for visiting productions.

The 15-year-old, who injured a teacher and three other students in the attack, was said to have been suffering from depression.
The nationalities of those shot at the Colegio Americano del Noreste were not clear.
School shootings are rare in Mexico.
Reports said the injured were in a serious condition.
Nuevo Leon state Governor Jaime Rodriguez named the teenager as Federico Guevara and said that his motive was being investigated, Reuters news agency reports.
Aldo Fasci, a security spokesman of Nuevo Leon state, called the incident unprecedented. He said the motive was under investigation.
A video showed the gunman shooting the 24-year-old teacher and the students, two aged 14 and one 15, the spokesman said. He then shot himself.
"[This] is result of a situation that is happening everywhere. The children have access to the internet. This has happened in other countries," he said.
Mr Fasci said it was not clear how the student got the gun into the private bilingual school, which includes pre-school, elementary and high school classes.
He added that Mexico once had a system in place to check student bags but it ended after parents complained.
Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto posted a message on the social media site Twitter, saying that his thoughts were with the local community and the families affected.

The men were held after early morning raids at a hotel in the city of Zurich.
They're charged with corruption, which means being dishonest in a position of power. They're suspected of taking millions of US dollars in bribes.
They include vice-president Jeffrey Webb - who runs football in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
The Fifa members have been charged by authorities in America and could be flown to the US to face trial.
Some of the corruption charges relate to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, as well as the 2011 Fifa presidential election.
The Swiss authorities have also started a separate criminal investigation into the how the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in Russia and Qatar were chosen.
The Fifa presidential election will still take place on Friday despite the arrests.
Current Fifa boss Sepp Blatter faces Prince Ali bin al-Hussein; Blatter is looking to win a fifth term as Fifa president.

The veteran star's latest release, Partners, topped the Billboard rundown after selling 196,000 copies.
The 72-year-old's first number one album, People, was achieved almost 50 years ago in October 1964.
Streisand's latest hit also makes her the only female singer to clock up 10 number one albums in the US.
The musician now stands at number four in the all-time list of album chart-topping acts in the US, behind The Beatles, who lead the hall of fame with 19 number ones.
Jay Z is second with 13, while Bruce Springsteen is in third place with 11 best-selling albums.
Streisand ties for fourth with Elvis Presley, who is featured on her latest work.
The album is a collection of classic songs with high profile singing partners, including Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban and Billy Joel, with whom she performs New York State of Mind.
She outsold Chris Brown and country star Tim McGraw to take the number one spot.
Streisand's albums which have reached the pinnacle of the US chart in previous decades include The Way We Were in 1974 and two other '70s releases.
Two of her records made the grade in the 1980s including Guilty, spawning a hit title track performed by Barry Gibb and the US number one single Woman In Love.
She had two number ones in the 1990s, while her most recent chart-topper was Love Is The Answer in 2009.
In the UK, Streisand's latest album was beaten into second place by Irish band The Script's new release.
The singer has amassed a total of six chart-topping albums in the UK across three decades - the 1970s, '80s and the first decade of this century. | Singer Barbra Streisand has created US chart history by becoming the first artist to score number one albums in each of the last six decades. | 29359117 |
Véronique Robert was wounded in the blast, which killed two colleagues, on Monday, and was returned to France for treatment, France Télévisions reports.
She later died of her injuries, the broadcaster said in a statement.
The mine blast occurred in the Ras al-Jadah district, west of the Old City. Iraq is one of the world's deadliest countries for journalists.
Stephan Villeneuve, a French video journalist, and Bakhtiyar Haddad, his Iraqi fixer, were also killed in the explosion while on assignment for France 2 TV, reporting on an advance by Iraqi forces against Islamic State militants.
Haddad was killed immediately by the blast, while Villeneuve and Robert were seriously wounded and were taken to a US military hospital in Qayyara, south of Mosul.
Villeneuve subsequently succumbed to his wounds, France Télévisions said in a statement posted on Twitter early on Tuesday.

The state of Bavaria, which owns the copyright to the book, had threatened legal action if publisher Peter McGee sold pamphlets containing the extracts.
Mr McGee sells reproductions of Nazi-era newspapers along with historians' analysis of their content.
He will now render Hitler's text illegible when his pamphlets are sold.
Mr McGee publishes newspapers from 1933-45 in the form of a magazine called Zeitungszeugen (which roughly translates as "newspaper witnesses").
He had planned to include a supplement entitled The Unreadable Book, containing extracts from Mein Kampf along with a commentary from journalism professor Horst Poettker.
The publisher said that an explanation of the "abyss of Hitler's crude ideas" and an "unmasking" of his central work was needed now, 70 years after the Nazis' crimes.
A supplement with readable extracts will now be available by mail order only.
The BBC's Berlin correspondent, Stephen Evans, says the publication of Nazi works is obviously contentious in Germany, even though they are easily available on the internet.
In a separate development, police have raided the homes of four people suspected of being supporters of a neo-Nazi group believed to be behind the killings of 10 people.
The existence of the neo-Nazi cell came to light in November when two of its members died in an apparent joint suicide and the third gave herself up to authorities in the eastern state of Saxony.
The office of Germany's federal prosecutor said that 110 police officers had been involved in today's raids, on apartments lived in by the four suspects, two business premises associated with one of them, as well as three flats in Thuringia and Baden-Wuerttenberg.

Police say a man from the remote town of Derby forced his way into a tradesman's car and took the Hungry Jack's Whopper burger.
The tradesman had asked a friend to fly the food from Darwin, 1,700km (1,055 miles) away, local media report.
When confronted by the tradesman, the alleged offender reportedly stripped off his clothes and walked away.
It is unclear why the man removed his clothes.
"It's hot up here but that's no excuse! #eyesburning," Derby police tweeted.
Officers reportedly detained the man a short time later and charged him with disorderly behaviour and stealing.

The company said it would close all operations this year as there was "no reasonable path to profitability" in the two countries.
The move comes after rival US car firm General Motors last year said it would pull out of Indonesia.
In 2015, Ford sales accounted for just 0.1% of the Japanese market and only 0.6% in Indonesia.
In a statement, Ford spokesman Neal McCarthy said: "Japan is the most closed, developed auto economy in the world, with all imported brands accounting for less than 6% of Japan's annual new car market."
The 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement in its current form would not improve Ford's ability to compete there, he added.
"It's another step in the global defeat of the US car industry," analyst Simon Littlewood of Asia Now told the BBC.
"It never really made sense for them to be in either Japan or Indonesia, selling only around 5 to 6,000 vehicles in each of those markets - that's a tiny proportion of what you need to sell to have any kind of scale."
"With Indonesia you could argue that it is a substantial market with 300 million people but the problem is that the Indonesian government has a policy of insisting on local assembly," said Mr Littlewood.
"So Ford either had to get in in a big way and actually start manufacturing or to get out altogether - which is what they've done."
Neither market is large for the carmaker. Last year, Ford sold just 6,100 cars and trucks in Indonesia and 5,000 in Japan, partly blaming the government for protective policies that favour domestic brands over imported cars.

The January festival of music and culture in Glasgow features concerts, ceilidhs and talks over 18 days.
Those taking part include Rickie Lee Jones, Lucinda Williams, The Unthanks, Karine Polwart and Robert Plant.
Speaking as the programme was launched, Ian Smith of Creative Scotland said Celtic Connections was "one of Scotland's creative treasures".
Artistic Director Donald Shaw said: "For 2016, we are bringing superstars and cult heroes, new talent, and artists who were legends long before the first Celtic Connections was staged.
"This year we weave stories of pilgrimage, of crossing continents, we celebrate anniversaries and the Auld Alliance."
Ian Smith of Creative Scotland added: "Celtic Connections is one of the world's great music festivals and to have established such a global presence in a comparatively short time underlines its place as one of Scotland's creative treasures.
"Every January we gather in Glasgow in mid-winter to be thrilled and inspired by great music from around the world, but with its roots and traditions firmly in Scotland.
"With Showcase Scotland at its core, Celtic Connections represents all that is great about Scotland's cultural identity expressed so brilliantly through its music."

But one of them, Donald Trump, has landed himself in some big trouble after comments he made about women 11 years ago were released.
In the past Donald Trump has used words like "pig", "fat" and "ugly" to describe women he disagreed with.
Now a 2005 video has come out, in which he said even worse things about women.
Since the recording was made public, Donald Trump has released a video statement where he apologised for the comments.
But Hillary Clinton has said that Trump should not be president after what he has said.
She says that his words will have a negative effect on women and girls.
People in Donald Trump's own party have said they strongly disagree with the things he has said. Some of them have said they will no longer be supporting him in the election.

Warren, 35, reached halfway in 30 shots, with four birdies and an eagle, and a nine-under total put him two clear of Thai Phachara Khongwatmai.
Khongwatmai, 17, playing in only his seventh European Tour event shot a 65 at Saujana Golf and Country Club.
The teenager is one stroke ahead of a group of six which includes England's US Masters champion Danny Willett.
Warren, a three-time winner on the European Tour, nearly lost his playing card last year but a fifth-place finish at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in October set up a strong end to 2016.
He overcame a missed cut at last week's Dubai Desert Classic to card four birdies and an eagle on his opening nine holes, before adding back-nine birdies on 12, 14 and 17 in his bogey-free round.
"I got off to a really nice start, six under for the first nine holes," said Warren. "Once the wind picked up on the back nine it was just a case of staying solid and hitting the greens.
"More of the same tomorrow. My iron play was very good today and recently I have been making a lot of birdies but a lot of mistakes as well. It was nice to get around without a bogey.
"Last week I made 11 birdies in two days and missed the cut so it's just a matter of trying to keep the positive stuff going, making the birdies, and cutting out the slack stuff which was good today." | Scotland's Marc Warren compiled a fine 63 to seize an early lead in the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur. | 38916293 |

Crowds gathered outside St Michael's Roman Catholic Church in Elswick, to catch a glimpse of celebrities arriving at the star-studded Geordie wedding.
The TV presenter's brother, Father Dermott Donnelly, conducted the ceremony, and Dec's TV partner Ant McPartlin was the best man.
Wearing matching blue suits, the pair posed for fans outside the church.
In a tweet to fans earlier, the groom joked: "Morning! I know I've got somewhere to be today but I can't for the life of me remember where....D".
Guests at the 39-year-old's Saturday Night Takeaway presenter's big day included some of the Geordie glitterati, among them ex-Newcastle United footballers Peter Beardsley and Alan Shearer.
Presenters Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton and comedian Keith Lemon were also guests at the wedding.
Donnelly and Astall got engaged in November on an island off the coast of Australia, before travelling to the set of I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! for the latest series.
In an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show earlier this year, Donnelly said he proposed as the sun set.
He admitted it was "a little strange" when the couple first got together because they had been colleagues for so long, but added: "It's going good. Everything's hunky-dory."

If you recognise that lyric, you're not alone... because The Killers' Mr Brightside, has become one of the UK's most popular songs.
The 2004 single was streamed 26 million times last year, beating any other song released before 2010, according to music industry body the BPI.
That's worth $150,000 (£115,000) in royalties. So it's fair to say The Killers are making a killing on streaming.
However, the most-streamed song overall last year was Drake's One Dance, which his fans played 141 million times.
It was the only song to break the 100 million barrier, but 35 other tracks, including Sia's Cheap Thrills and Justin Bieber's Love Yourself, were streamed more than 50 million times.
According to the BPI, classic songs accounted for more than half of all the streams served by Spotify, Apple Music and their competitors last year.
Christmas songs, in particular, attracted a huge number of plays.
The figures were revealed in the BPI's annual All About The Music report.
Other discoveries included in its analysis of the UK music market included:
Britain is now the third-biggest music market in the world; but the BPI warned that Brexit could pose challenges for the industry in the coming years.
"Brexit risks new EU barriers for UK acts, who also face stiff competition from overseas artists on global streaming platforms," said chief executive Geoff Taylor.
"Our business will only reach its full potential if the government makes the creative sector a high priority in trade negotiations and offers the same kind of support to investment into music, such as through tax credits, as it has to the film and games industries."

Rangers used the scheme from 2001 until 2010 to give millions of pounds of tax-free loans to players and other staff.
HM Revenue and Customs said these were salary payments and subject to tax.
HMRC lost two tax tribunals before winning its case at the Court of Session earlier this month. Any appeal will be heard by the Supreme Court.
Announcing its decision, BDO said: "Following discussions with the company's legal advisers and the liquidation committee, the joint liquidators have filed an application seeking leave to appeal the Inner House of the Court of Session decision in respect of the EBT case.
"If the company successfully obtains leave to appeal, the appeal will be heard in the Supreme Court in London.
"The joint liquidators are not in a position at this stage to make any further comment in respect of the appeal."
Rangers' use of EBTs and the subsequent appeals by HMRC have become known as the "big tax case".
HMRC lost its initial appeal that tax was due on EBTs at a First Tier Tax Tribunal on 2012.
The decision was upheld at an Upper Tier Tribunal in 2014.
HMRC's third appeal, made earlier this year, was upheld in a decision issued earlier this month by Lord Carloway, sitting with Lord Menzies and Lord Drummond Young.
The judges ruled that if income was derived from an employee's services, in their capacity as an employee, it was an emolument or earnings and "thus assessable to income tax".
The decision was in relation to Murray Group companies, including the liquidated company RFC 2012 - formerly The Rangers Football Club PLC.

Mental tasks are impaired at high altitude, so dealing with key emails is best avoided, says David Gradwell.
Passengers should follow health advice to avoid side-effects such as jet lag and dehydration, he says.
"Flying is safe," he told a news conference. "Millions of people do it every year without any issues at all."
Prof Gradwell, of King's College, London, said most people could tolerate cabin pressurisation quite well.
But he said learning was a little impaired at a higher altitude, as was performance of recently learned tasks.
"It's perhaps not where you want to make the most important decision of your life," he said.
"Those of you who are looking forward to having emails in flight might want to think twice about sending that email to your bank manager."
Prof Gradwell said more research was needed to improve the advice given to air passengers.
There was still no conclusive evidence on the wearing of compression stockings to prevent blood clots, he said, and whether these should be of a medical grade rather than bought over the counter.
The professor said few people should be excluded from flying because of potential medical problems.
They include those with active tuberculosis, people who have been coughing up blood, those with severe anaemia or individuals experiencing a recent acute psychotic event.
A research group at King's College will assess advice given to passengers before travel and look at whether GPs are providing appropriate guidance.
Prof Gradwell said most aircraft were now better equipped to deal with medical emergencies, carrying devices such as defibrillators.
Cabin crews were trained to deal with a passenger being taken ill and could also take advice from trained staff on the ground, he added. | Passengers should stick to puzzles or books during a flight rather than making big decisions, the first UK professor of aerospace medicine says. | 22357419 |

Retiming deliveries outside the peak hours of 07:00 and 13:00 could reduce journey times and lower exhaust emissions, it said.
Freight industry representatives and businesses are meeting TfL bosses to discuss what changes could be made.
Annually, up to £200bn of goods are moved on London's roads.
Population growth and changes to the road network, such as the expansion of the Cycle Superhighway, are expected to cause more disruption to the capital's roads in the future.
London's Transport Commissioner Sir Peter Hendy said the need for businesses to adapt has "never been more pressing".
"We must build on all the work we did together during the London 2012 Games to make further progress on retiming outside the busiest times, rerouting and consolidating deliveries," he said. | The time of business deliveries in London could be changed in order to ease congestion, Transport for London (TfL) has suggested. | 32510884 |
In a leaked letter, the local NHS Clinical Commissioning Group warned of delays due to "high levels of demand".
Clinical chair Dr Peter Green said it could affect both emergency and non-emergency calls to the South East Coast Ambulance Service (Secamb).
Secamb said it was facing higher demand than usual for the time of year.
In the letter seen by BBC South East, Dr Green said "there may be delays in the provision of the service, especially the less urgent conveyances".

A spokesman for Secamb said, along with the NHS, it continued "to be extremely busy" across the whole of the south east region.
He said the trust had responded to more than 500,000 incidents in the last calendar year, which equated to an increase of nearly 10% in call-outs on the previous year.
"We continue to face higher demand than we would usually expect at this time of year, meaning it is taking us longer than we would like to attend some calls.

The Royal Engineers regiment sappers, of Grangemouth, Falkirk, were on night-time exercise when the vessel capsized at Cromwell Weir, on the River Trent.
One man survived, in what remains the 131 Independent Parachute Squadron's largest peacetime tragedy.
About 100 people attended the memorial service at the lock, near Newark.
The sappers were taking part in the Trent Chase, an 80-mile night exercise from Stoke to Hull, on 28 September 1975.
They unwittingly went over the weir, known locally as the Devil's Cauldron, when conditions were also worsened by a high tide.
John Lee, president of the Airborne Engineers' Association, organised the service to remember the soldiers.
The former Lt Col, who took part in the exercise that evening, said he knew some of the men who died.
He said: "[My memories] are one of complete shock and sadness. Half of the troop had been wiped out overnight."
He said the only survivor, Sapper Pat Harkin, was a "strong swimmer" who managed to hold on to the upturned boat.
A retired police officer, who did not want to be named, arrived at the scene after electricity board staff, who were fixing navigation lights on the weir, raised the alarm.
By the time he arrived, the officer said it was pitch black and he could hear just one man shouting from the water.
The officer, then aged 20, along with another member of the force, managed to save him after they rowed out in a small boat.
The men were from the 300 Troop 131 Independent Parachute Squadron of the Royal Engineers (Territorial Army) | Ten soldiers, who died when their boat went over a river weir in bad weather 40 years ago, have been commemorated at a service. | 34347337 |
Rykiel, nicknamed the Queen of Knitwear, had been suffering from Parkinson's disease for some time before her death on Thursday.
Nathalie Rykiel, managing artistic director of the Sonia Rykiel fashion label, said: "My mother died at 05:00 this morning at her home in Paris from the effects of Parkinson's."
In 2012, Rykiel revealed she had been diagnosed 15 years earlier.
She had initially kept the condition private but wrote about her diagnosis in a book when her symptoms became too difficult to disguise, fashion site WWD said.

The ex-Nottingham Forest and Leicester City midfielder left Gateshead to succeed Kevin Wilkin in April 2015.
Wrexham missed out on the play-offs during his first season in charge and are currently 15th, having lost four of their last six games.
"We have therefore made the difficult decision that a change is needed," the club said in a statement.
"This was a difficult decision but despite some exciting and entertaining football last season, our main priority is promotion back to the Football League.
"We have not made the progress expected towards that aim, falling short of the play off places last season, and currently out of touch with the table leaders with a third of the season already gone."
Reserve team manager Joey Jones, head of youth Andy Davies and former club captain Dean Keates will be in charge for Saturday's FA Cup fourth qualifying round tie at Stamford.

The buyer is Huhtamaki, a Finnish-based packaging company which already has a factory in Lurgan.
Delta Print was owned by the west Belfast man Terry Cross, who founded the business in 1981.
Its major customers include the McDonalds fast food chain. Mr Cross will act as an advisor to Huhtamaki.
He paid tribute to the "innovation, dedication and hard work" of his staff in Belfast and Poland saying they had helped "capture the attention" of a global company such as Huhtamaki.
Huhtamaki operates in 34 countries and in 2015 had sales of 2.7bn euro (£2.07bn).
The two companies already had a relationship, as both are major suppliers to McDonalds.
Rosemary Mason, managing director of Huhtamaki Foodservice Western Europe and UK, said the deal allowed the firm to expand its range of products.
Huhtamaki already employs more than 200 people at its moulded fibre plant in Lurgan and paper recycling unit in Lisburn.

The economy grew a seasonally adjusted 0.4% in the October to December period from the previous quarter when growth hit 0.9%.
Fourth quarter growth of 2.7% from a year ago also missed market forecasts.
Economists said a slump in infrastructure spending and exports had a big impact on the country's growth.
Construction investment fell by a seasonally adjusted 9.2%, the worst since 1998 as weaker tax revenue led the government to cut back spending on projects.
Barclays economist Wai Ho Leong said that annual growth of 3.3% in 2014 had fallen below the bank's forecast of 3.5%.
"[Growth will] remain soft in the first quarter of 2015 before reaccelerating from the second quarter as the pass-through of lower oil prices rekindles global external demand," he said in a note.
The disappointing data could lead the country's central bank to cut interest rates again to boost the economy, according to economists.
The Bank of Korea has cut the interest rate in three steps since the current easing cycle began in May 2013.
The most recent move came in October when it cut the base rate to a record low of 2%.
However, last week the central bank did cut its growth forecast for this year to 3.4% from an earlier forecast of 3.9%, anticipating the slowdown in the economy.

Cheers broke out as a court dropped charges against the 69 students, who had been in detention for over a year.
However, an estimated 400 political prisoners are still behind bars.
Ms Suu Kyi, Myanmar's de facto leader, said the release of the remaining prisoners had been delayed by the legal process required.
The delay means they will not be freed until after the end of the Burmese New Year holiday, in 10 days time.
There were emotional scenes as the student activists were released - many were met by tearful parents, and singing and dancing supporters who presented them with flowers.
The students were arrested during protests against educational reforms in March last year.
The families of Myanmar's political prisoners gathered outside prisons and courts on Friday, hoping their loved ones would be freed.
Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy won 80% of contested seats in the elections last year, ending decades of military rule.
However, a quarter of parliamentary seats are automatically held by the military, meaning it remains hugely influential.
Ms Suu Kyi was once a political prisoner herself, as were many members of her NLD party. | Dozens of student activists have been freed from prison in Myanmar, a day after Aung San Suu Kyi pledged to work to free all political prisoners. | 36000342 |
John O'Neill, 45, from York, was cleared of rape at a retrial last year but was made the subject of an interim sexual risk order (SRO).
An order prohibiting his identity from being made public has been lifted at York Magistrates Court.
North Yorkshire Police has applied for the SRO to be made permanent after Mr O'Neill allegedly breached it.
The single father-of-two has said he had an interest in sado-masochism and used to visit a fetish club.
He said the order violated his human rights and meant he could not have an intimate relationship.
"It's absolutely devastating. I don't have a life," he said.
SROs were introduced in England and Wales last year and can be applied to any individual who the police believe poses a risk of sexual harm - even if they have never been convicted of a crime.
The order requires Mr O'Neill to disclose any planned sexual activity to the police or face up to five years in prison.
Mr O'Neill is accused of breaching one of the conditions of the order by not giving police the Pin number to his mobile phone.
He has threatened to go on hunger strike in protest of the SRO.

Opposition politicians, journalists and activists live in a "climate of fear" ahead of December's polls, it said.
President Yahya Jammeh seized power in a bloodless coup in 1994 and is accused of ruling with an iron fist ever since.
He has since won four elections marred by allegations of rigging.
Amnesty says dozens of peaceful protesters and bystanders were beaten by police and arrested in April and May - and 51 people are now awaiting trial.
Solo Sandeng, national organising secretary of the opposition United Democratic Party (UDP), died in custody in April.
In an interview last month, President Jammeh said it was "common" for people to die in detention or while under interrogation.
He said UN chief Ban Ki-moon and Amnesty International could "go to hell" for asking for an investigation.
"Gambia has a long and brutal history of repression of critical voices and demonstrators such as Solo Sandeng have paid a high price for peaceful protest," Alioune Tine, Amnesty's regional director for West and Central Africa, said.
Amnesty's report also highlighted the death of a union leader in custody in February, the "enforced disappearance" of an imam in October and the arrest and trial of a journalist who shared a photo of Mr Jammeh on messaging service WhatsApp in July last year.
It accused the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) of unlawful surveillance and using threats of torture and ill-treatment to obtain passwords to detainee' email and social media accounts and phones.
The NIA has recently been accused of torture by Human Rights Watch.

Rovers had the better of the first-half chances, Andy Cook and Lois Maynard going close early on before Jeff Hughes had a close-range effort well saved by Kyle Letheren in the closing stages.
The game swung in York's favour after Hughes was sent off for a challenge on Richard Brodie in the opening minutes of the second half but Tranmere threatened again when James Norwood headed the ball against the crossbar.

Reports in the manager's home country - quoting an agent, Federico Pastorello - had suggested he was considering a move, with Inter Milan the most likely destination.
"I'm very happy to stay," Conte said.
"I read this interview about Pastorello. I don't know him and I don't know why this person has spoken about me."
He added: "I worked in Italy. They want to come back for me in Italy. It's normal. I have two more years of contract with Chelsea.
"This is the truth. This is the most important thing. I don't like when I listen to other persons talking about me."
Conte, 47, also addressed speculation linking the Blues with New York City midfielder Andrea Pirlo - who played under Conte at Juventus.
Ray Wilkins, a former Chelsea player and assistant manager, told Talksport he had seen the 37-year-old at Stamford Bridge "on a number of occasions this year".
"He's the one that Antonio Conte would like to come in and replace assistant manager Steve Holland," he added.
But Conte said: "Andrea Pirlo is playing and he wants to continue to play. I don't know why someone wants to put this type of situation for me." | Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has dismissed stories linking him with a return to Italy this summer. | 39527040 |

Prices rose by 6.9% in the year to October, down from 7% in September.
The average price remains at £217,000, according to the index, which includes data from the Land Registry and Registers of Scotland.
Areas near London saw the fastest price rises, but the City of London and Aberdeen saw the biggest falls.
Basildon saw house prices rise by 19.9% over the past year, while in Slough they were up by 19.6%.
Prices fell by 8.8% in the City of London, by 8.7% in Aberdeen, and by 4.9% in Kensington and Chelsea.
Howard Archer, chief European and UK economist at IHS Markit, said he expected house prices to slow further next year.
"We suspect that house prices will come under increasing pressure as 2017 progresses, and will likely be essentially flat over the year. Indeed, we would not rule out a marginal drop."
However, in July, shortly after the EU referendum vote, Mr Archer said that house prices could fall by up to 7% next year.

The 27-year-old scrum-half, who has also played as a winger, joined Exeter from Bath earlier this month.
He has linked up with his new teammates for the first time this week following international duty with Fiji where he played against England and Japan.
"I'll play any position in the back line as long as I'm playing," he told BBC Radio Devon.
"There's lots of talent in here and I'm looking forward to playing with the boys for this season and hopefully we're going to be in a good spot for the end of the season."

"We're going to have to monitor him for a little while, he's desperate to get onto the pitch for every minute that he can.

Mr Maduro said the UN had the expertise to normalise the supply and distribution of drugs in the country.
Venezuela's Medical Federation said recently that hospitals had less than 5% of the medicines they needed.
The president blames the problems on an economic war against his government and the sharp fall in oil prices.
``I've asked for support from the United Nations to help treat the economic and social injuries that have hit our people,'' he said Friday on television.
The opposition says Mr Maduro's mismanagement is to blame for the country's worsening economic crisis.
Shortages of food and many other essential items mean Venezuelans have to face long queues almost daily to buy basic goods.
Medicines are no exception.

Stephen Powell, 47, from Guiseley, pleaded guilty at Leeds Crown Court to conspiracy to import the class A drug.
Powell was charged after about a tonne of cocaine was found on the Makayabella yacht off the coast of Ireland.
He was told by Judge Peter Collier he faced a "significant custodial sentence" and was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing on 5 December.
The Makayabella was intercepted about 200 miles of the south west coast of Ireland on 23 September following a covert surveillance operation to track it from Venezuela.
Intelligence sources said it was understood the drugs were heading for the north Wales coast.
Investigators also seized a second vessel, the motorboat Sea Breeze, at Pwllheli in Gwynedd, on 26 September.
Three other men have been charged in connection with the plot following an international operation involving the Irish Naval Service and the National Crime Agency.
Powell's father John Powell, 70, of Silsden, West Yorkshire, Benjamin Mellor, 35, of Bradford, West Yorkshire, and Thomas Britteon, 28, of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, have been charged with possessing cocaine with intent to import after they were detained on board the yacht.

Bavaria's police say their colleagues in Bergen found a gate with the Nazi slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei" ("Work sets you free") after an anonymous tip-off.
After receiving photos from Norway, the police say it is "highly likely" to be the infamous gate.
More than 40,000 people were murdered by the Nazis in Dachau, near Munich.
Built in 1933, the camp at Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp and it initially housed political prisoners.
Thousands of Jews, foreigners and other groups persecuted by the Nazis were later held at Dachau. Many inmates were shot or gassed, with thousands others dying through disease or overwork.
The camp was liberated by US troops in 1945.
