The South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project has secured more than £1m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and has Scottish government backing.
It aims to increase bird numbers in Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders to possibly 16 nesting pairs.
Public meetings are being staged in Peebles, Selkirk and Moffat to discuss the proposals.
The project could see eagle chicks raised and released in the Moffat hills and various locations in the Scottish Borders.
An online survey has already been launched.
"We'd like to hear from as many people as possible," said Cat Barlow, project manager at the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project.
"We think this project is incredibly exciting.
"A revived population of golden eagles offers great opportunities for tourism and wider benefits for people and nature in the south of Scotland."
Presentations at the public events will explain what is proposed and look at the successes of similar schemes elsewhere in the country.
The events are being co-ordinated by the Southern Uplands Partnership which specialises in developing and implementing community and environmental projects across the south of Scotland.
Their project manager Pip Tabor said: "There will be a number of speakers and presentations at the evening events, whilst the drop-ins are for those who are unable to attend the main meetings.
"We plan to have a range of information to hand out.
"We really would encourage anyone with an interest to come along."
The venues for the public meetings are:
Drop-in sessions at each meeting are from 15:00 to 18:00 followed by the main meeting from 19:00 to 21:00. | A project aiming to boost the number of golden eagles in southern Scotland is seeking views on the scheme. | 37443903 |
Both were already through to Finals Day on 21 August, but Vipers' bonus-point win means that Lightning now contest the semi-final with Western Storm.
Spinner Linsey Smith's 3-16 helped bowl out Lightning, chasing 157, for 97.
Meanwhile, Anya Shrubsole's five-wicket haul helped Storm beat Yorkshire Diamonds by six wickets at Headingley.
Little-known 21-year-old spinner Smith again continued to look at home at Southampton, bowling against some of the best players in the women's game.
Smith bowled internationals Dane van Niekerk and Sophie Devine in her first over before trapping the well-set Evelyn Jones lbw in her second to dismantle Lightning's top order.
Former England all-rounder Arran Brindle continued to impress as her 3-24 finished Lightning off with seven balls remaining.
England strike bowler Shrubsole's superb four-wicket final-over maiden blew the Diamonds away at Headingley, as the 24-year-old claimed the first five-wicket Super League haul.
Having earlier bowled Holly Armitage for an eight-ball duck in the third over, Shrubsole then dismantled Jenny Gunn and Katie Levick's stumps, had Shabnim Ismail caught behind and Danielle Hazell caught, to bowl the hosts out for 118.
Rachel Priest's half-century, which came off 35 balls and included six fours and two maximums, eased Storm home with 21 balls spare, to give Heather Knight's side momentum going into Finals Day. | Southern Vipers finished top of the inaugural Super League table, beating Loughborough Lightning by 59 runs to automatically qualify for the final. | 37077763 |
News Group Newspapers (NGN), which has previously settled a large number of cases brought against the now-defunct News of the World, has always said there was no hacking activity at its sister tabloid.
But on Thursday in London, Mr Justice Mann allowed the claims to proceed.
More than 1,000 phone hacking claims have been settled by NGN - now News UK.
The judge said four claimants could amend their cases to include the daily newspaper for the first time in the proceedings against NGN.
Two of those claims are among a number scheduled for a trial in July.
Chris Hutchings, one of the lead solicitors for those claiming their private voicemail messages were hacked, said: "Today's ruling brings the Sun squarely into the civil litigation being brought against News Group."
"The court has now allowed claimants, for the first time, to include claims of phone hacking by the newspaper.
"The decision will also affect up to 50 further cases which are about to be commenced against the Defendant and will widen the disclosure of documentation it will have to provide going forward." | Claims against the Sun newspaper by phone-hacking victims can go ahead, a High Court judge has ruled. | 36159107 |
It is thought they had been in a dinghy and returning to their yacht after visiting the Hotel Eilean Iarmain in Isleornsay.
An emergency call was made at 01:20 when they failed to arrive.
Coastguard rescue teams from Kyle of Lochalsh, Portree and Broadford were called out. The Mallaig lifeboat was launched as part of the search.
A coastguard spokesman said: "We recovered two casualties from the water.
"It appears to be two males and we suspect they had capsized."
The men were taken by lifeboat to Mallaig where they were transferred to an ambulance and transported to Belford Hospital in Fort William. | Two men have been rescued from the sea after their boat capsized off the Isle of Skye. | 36408082 |
In a TV interview with the public broadcaster ARD, she said Germany wanted internet companies "to tell us in Europe who they are giving data to".
Her comments follow revelations about a US spying operation that collects users' data from internet companies.
Mrs Merkel also said she expected the US to abide by German law.
Tensions have been running high between the two countries following reports that the US has been eavesdropping on EU and German officials.
"I expect a clear commitment from the US government that in future they will stick to German law," she said.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Berlin says the chancellor is under pressure to disclose how much her government knew about the activities of the American National Security Agency (NSA), and to ensure that Germans' closely-guarded privacy is not compromised.
In her Sunday evening interview, she pledged that her government would take a "very strict position" in ongoing talks on European Union-wide data rules.
She noted that the different systems in place across the EU make it difficult to control who has access to internet users' data:.
"We have a great data protection law. But if Facebook is registered in Ireland, then Irish law is valid, and therefore we need unified European rules," she said.
Chancellor Merkel sent her interior minister to Washington last week to meet Attorney General Eric Holder and Vice President Joe Biden to to find out how much spying there has been and on whom.
The opposition has accused her government of failing to get answers from its allies in the US. | German Chancellor Angela Merkel has vowed to push for tougher European laws to protect personal information on the internet. | 23309624 |
Weekly food waste collections are also planned but the garden refuse uplift service will come to an end.
At the moment people from the Kelso area have to travel to recycling sites in Duns, Selkirk or Galashiels.
After the Kelso facility opens there will be few settlements in the region more than 10 miles from such a service.
Meanwhile, a food waste collection service will be introduced in Galashiels, Tweedbank, Hawick, Selkirk, Jedburgh and Peebles in the spring or summer of 2015.
Households will be issued with kitchen "caddies" and an outdoor caddy which can be put out at the kerbside for a weekly uplift.
The garden waste uplift in Borders towns, which currently costs £450,000 a year to operate, will cease at the end of March next year.
The council said it had no legal obligation to provide the service and could not afford to continue it.
Householders will be offered a free composting unit or they can take their garden refuse to a recycling centre. | A £750,000 community recycling centre for Kelso is among the proposals for a new waste strategy unveiled for the Scottish Borders. | 25234923 |
Mr Ganatra has been awarded the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award for "rescuing people whenever there is fire, often putting himself in danger".
He told the BBC that he "just wanted to continue doing my work" in the eastern city of Kolkata.

The 28-year-old has won two titles with Chiefs since joining the club in 2012.
Fitzgerald is Leicester's second signing this week, following the arrival of Peter Betham from Waratahs.
"He's a really good workhorse - he's probably a younger, slightly fitter version of Louis Deacon," Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester.
"He makes a lot of tackles and does a lot of the graft but also he's a very good footballer as well.
"He catches passes really well, he runs with the ball and carries the ball really well and has played a lot at six.
"If you've played at six for the Chiefs, you're clearly a good player and a good footballer."

Worcester lock forward Will Spencer will be up against two former team-mates, Exeter backs Olly Woodburn and Ollie Devoto, who both played alongside him at Bath under Gary Gold, now Warriors director of rugby.
Exeter have the best away record in the Premiership, having picked up 22 points from seven outings this season, and have won all nine previous Premiership meetings between the two sides. Worcester's most recent success over Exeter came at the old County Ground in Division One in March 2004.
Warriors go into the game on the back of their best run of form this campaign, having won three of their last four matches.
The Chiefs have drawn their last two Premiership games, but no side has ever drawn three in succession.

The 45-year-old American was taken from the water at Jeffreys Bay and rushed to hospital after he was struck by his board prior to his second-round heat.
Slater said the incident was "like smashing my foot with a big hammer".
Writing on Instagram, he said he is likely to need between four and six months to recover.
In an earlier post, which included an X-ray of his foot, he wrote: "You ever folded your entire foot backwards? If you try it sometime, this is what it might look like.
"Sorta feels like I'm giving birth out of my foot right now.
"It sucks but so many people deal with such horrible things around this world every day that a broken foot is pretty minor in the scheme of things. Sometimes a bad thing is a good thing."
Meanwhile, Australia's Mick Fanning and Brazilian Gabriel Medina were pulled from the water in Jeffreys Bay after a shark was spotted swimming into the competition zone.
Fanning, 36, escaped a shark attack while competing in the same event two years ago.

The Welsh government has said it has yet to confirm the budgets for Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire Coast and Brecon Beacons national parks.
But John Harold from the Snowdonia Society said an anticipated 5% reduction represented "serious cuts" to the organisations running the parks.
They have said jobs could be at risk.
The society believes the cuts could make the parks more vulnerable to calls for local councils to take over some of their work, including planning policy.
Funding for national parks in England has been protected for five years by Chancellor George Osborne in his Autumn Statement.
But as well as a 5% cut for next financial year, Welsh national parks have been warned they could face another similar cut the following year.
Snowdonia National Park chief executive Emyr Williams said the cuts mean services and jobs could be at risk.
And last week Brecon Beacons National Park Authority said it faced cutting jobs as it stood to lose £200,000 from its budget.
A Welsh government spokesperson said: "It is essential we get the best outcome from the funds available in order to keep delivering for the people of Wales, and our national parks are at the heart of that delivery.
"We have to take difficult decisions in terms of spending priorities, but have informed partners of our spending plans throughout the process, to ensure they are able to continue to plan effectively." | A conservation charity director has raised concerns about Wales' three national parks amid possible 5% budget cuts. | 35376419 |

Er i Bale beidio dechrau'r gêm fe ddaeth ar y cae gyda 13 o funudau yn weddill o'r gêm i wynebu Juventus.
Cristiano Ronaldo oedd seren y gêm wrth iddo sgorio dwy allan o'r bedair gôl i Real Madrid.
Real aeth ar y blaen yn gyntaf gydag ergyd gan Ronaldo cyn i Mario Mandzukic sgorio gôl wych i Juventus gyda chic dros ei ben.

George Osborne, together with the former Labour Chancellor Alistair Darling, vows today that the hit to the economy would be so great if we vote to leave the EU that he'd hold a Budget with cuts and tax rises almost immediately.
But in retaliation, in a direct challenge to George Osborne's authority, 57 Tory MPs, including former cabinet ministers, have issued a statement, incredulous at the chancellor's behaviour - saying it is absurd to make a political promise to punish voters in this way - to break Conservative manifesto promises.
Most seriously for a government with a tiny majority, they say they would vote to block such a Budget, making Mr Osborne's position untenable.
As the chancellor threatens drastic action - so too, by suggesting an open coup against him, his internal opponents threaten him.

Paul Bowers, 47, died when several tonnes of metal fell on him in 2013 while working at the warehouse of CAV Cambridge at Cambridge Airport.
A jury heard CAV had failed to act on requests for a new stacking system.
After investigating, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) described his death as "entirely preventable".
CAV Aerospace, based in Consett, County Durham, was also found guilty of failing to discharge its duty by a trial jury at the Old Bailey last week, for which it was given a concurrent £400,000 fine, meaning it was fined £600,000 in total.
The company was also ordered to pay £125,000 in costs.
The trial heard warnings about dangerous working conditions were ignored by CAV bosses.
The jury was told an unstable stack of aircraft components had toppled on to Mr Bowers, trapping him up to his chest and crushing him.
HSE inspector Graham Tompkins said the CAV Aerospace board had failed to act on requests from local managers and a health and safety consultant's advice that a new stacking system be installed.
"Paul Bowers paid the ultimate price for the company's senior managers ignoring that advice and his death was entirely preventable," he said.
Speaking after the guilty verdict, Mr Bowers' wife, Jose, told of her "unbearable sadness" and "insurmountable hurdles to carry on living without my husband and soulmate".
"This has taken from me an amazing and unique husband and our children have lost a very special father and stepfather," she said. | An aerospace firm found guilty of corporate manslaughter after a worker was crushed to death under aeroplane parts has been fined £600,000. | 33731432 |
Michael Payne, 43, struck his brother Stephen with a glass after they had both drunk a large amount of alcohol.
Payne developed a drink problem after the murder of his eight-year-old daughter by Roy Whiting 11 years ago, Maidstone Crown Court heard.
The attack happened after the brothers consumed about three litres of cider and a bottle of vodka each.
The court heard the attack happened at Payne's brother's home on 24 August.
Judge Jeremy Carey said he had the "deepest sympathy" for the loss of his daughter but the offence warranted a jail sentence.
Payne, of Brishing Lane, Maidstone, who has previous convictions for common assault and criminal damage, will serve eight months behind bars and the remainder on licence.
Defence counsel Oliver Saxby urged the judge not to follow a "formulaic exercise" when deciding sentencing because of Payne's "exceptional" background.
"The assorted aftermath had a life-changing effect on him and his then wife and his family," he said.
"It's desperately sad. He never sought nor was offered assistance with bereavement counselling."
He added that Payne split from his wife Sara in 2003 and began drinking but was aiming to make a recovery from his addiction.
Stephen Payne suffered injuries to his the back of his head, arm and hand but they were not life-threatening.
He fled from his home to a nearby property where an ambulance was called.
Mr Saxby said Stephen Payne had offered a retraction statement, which the judge described as a "merciful" act.

The wood boat capsized in high waves as it tried to cross from Turkey's Izmir province to the Greek island of Lesbos. Twenty-one people were rescued.
At least 24 people have died in two similar sinkings this week.
More than one million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe by sea and land this year, new figures show.
In the German region of Bavaria, fires broke out at two hostels housing refugees overnight, including 12 people. Arson is suspected.
The overcrowded boat was about two miles off the Turkish coast en route to Lesbos when it ran into trouble, Turkey's private Dogan news agency reports.
Coastguards managed to rescue 21 people, including a baby, but were unable to save 18 people, including at least six children.
At least one person is still reported missing.
Divers were called to the scene amid reports that some migrants were stuck in the cabin of the sinking boat, Dogan reports.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said earlier this week that the number of migrants and refugees crossing illegally into Europe by sea and land in 2015 represented a fourfold rise on last year's total.
Nearly 3,700 of those did not survive the journey, the IOM said.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. | Several children are among at least 18 people who drowned when their boat capsized trying to cross from Turkey to Greece, officials say. | 35174442 |

The blaze in the Aberdeenshire town's High Street in May in 1998 claimed the life of 43-year-old Gordon Graham.
Barry Henderson, 42, denies killing Mr Graham and attempting to murder his wife Anne.
The prosecution at the High Court in Glasgow claims Mr Henderson wilfully set fire to materials in the ground floor and the blaze spread.
Jurors were read out a joint minute of agreed facts in the case.
They were told that two flats at 74 High Street were occupied by Mr Graham, his wife, and family members, and that the Graham family were known locally as "the family from hell".
The jury also heard that Mr Graham died of smoke inhalation and his body was scorched by fire.
At the time of his death he was said to be "substantially under the influence of alcohol and cannabis".
Mr Henderson is also accused of assaulting a woman in a nightclub in Fraserburgh in 1998.
He faces another charge that he behaved in a threatening manner on a bus between Crimond and Fraserburgh last November.
Mr Henderson, who is represented by defence QC Brian McConnachie, denies all the charges against him and has lodged special defences of alibi and incrimination.
Judge Lord Ericht told the jurors: "It is estimated this trial will last for five weeks."

The 68-year-old Netherlands great and three-time Ballon d'Or winner was told of his illness this week after tests.
"Thank you for all your support," said the former Ajax player on Twitter.
Cruyff's son, former Manchester United midfielder Jordi, also said: "Thanks a lot for your supportive messages. Much appreciated."
Cruyff helped his country reach the World Cup final in 1974, where they lost to West Germany.
He also won three consecutive European Cups with Ajax and went on to play and manage at Barcelona, with both clubs sending out messages of support.
Former Ajax, Manchester United, Juventus and Fulham goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, now a director at the Dutch club, said: "On behalf of the club, I wish Johan and his family a lot of strength and a speedy recovery."
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu tweeted: "Johan, you'll win this one too. The whole club is behind you."
While in charge at the Spanish club, he led them to their first European Cup win in 1992 and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1989.
They also won four consecutive La Liga titles from 1990-91 to 1993-94.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Cruyff had a double heart bypass surgery in 1991.
Having been a smoker, he gave up immediately after the operation and took to sucking lollipops in the dugout.
He featured in a Catalan health department advert, saying: "Football has given me everything in life, tobacco almost took it all away."

A blessing is taking place for the five 17th Century bells at All Saints Church at Liddington, which were sent away for restoration last year.
Project manager Tony Pullan said he was "pleased to see them back".
A new set of six bells is due to be installed in the belfry in July, which will allow bells at the church to be rung for the first time since 1979.
"They'll be installed back in the tower on Monday, and they'll be on view for anyone who's interested - it'll be a museum piece," said Mr Pullan.
"They're being brought back for preservation, not for use."
Once the old bells have been re-hung in the tower a new belfry floor and ringing chamber will be installed, as part of the ??200,000 project.
The casting of the new peal of six bells will take place in May, and they are due to be hung below the original set. | A set of bells have been returned to a church near Swindon, where they will go on show as a "museum piece". | 35621834 |

The band were playing a gig at the Bataclan concert hall when gunmen stormed the building killing 90 people.
The band returned to Paris last week to play a song with U2 and will play the city's Olympia Theatre in February.
Singer Jesse Hughes said: "The people of Paris have always been incredible to us... not returning to finish our set was never an option."
Fans who were at the Bataclan show on 13 November will be entitled to a free ticket for the rescheduled date at the Olympia on 16 February.
The Bataclan will not be open again in time for the band's return.
In his statement, Hughes - who paid his respects outside the venue on his return to Paris earlier this month - said: "Our feeling of love towards this beautiful city and its people has been reinforced a million times over this past month.
"Hearing the stories of the survivors, the injured and those who have lost loved ones has been overwhelming. Not returning to finish our set was never an option.
"We look forward to coming back in February and continuing our mission to bring rock 'n' roll to the world."

In an eagerly-awaited showdown between two unbeaten fighters, Smith floored Fielding within the first 30 seconds.
When Fielding was felled for a third time, referee Phil Edwards stopped the bout at the Echo Arena.
Smith is the fourth brother from his family to hold a British title, an unprecedented feat.
The 25-year-old, who had won 12 of his previous 17 bouts by knockout, stunned his opponent with a flurry of punishing body shots.
Fielding, 28, had 21 victories under his belt going into the fight and briefly rallied before being caught again and sent to the canvas.
Smith swarmed all over his former amateur team-mate who was unable to hold out for the bell.
The win could now move Smith into the mandatory challenger position for the WBC super-middleweight title held by Sweden's Badou Jack - who recently claimed a unanimous decision against Briton George Groves. | Callum Smith stopped Rocky Fielding in the first round to claim the vacant British super-middleweight title in the all-Liverpool contest in the city. | 34758799 |

Celtic Energy said it followed an announcement by RWE that Aberthaw power station was unlikely to require large volumes of coal beyond March 2017.
A consultation on the plan for the Nant Helen opencast site has begun with trade unions and other parties.
The company said the state of the coal industry meant "difficult decisions are inevitable".
In October, Celtic Energy announced its decision to mothball its opencast coal site Selar, near Glynneath, for three years, resulting in 70 people losing their jobs.
When that decision was taken, the company said it could not keep the site running along with Nant Helen and the expanded East Pit. | A Powys opencast mine could be mothballed, resulting in 90 redundancies. | 36599294 |
The Hive, a 55ft (17m) high and 40 tonne work which incorporates lights and music, was originally created for the 2015 Milan Expo.
The lattice installation, which is made up of 170,000 parts, was designed by Nottingham artist Wolfgang Buttress.
It opens to the public on Saturday.
The designer said the piece was "a multi-sensory experience that integrates art, science and landscape architecture".
A Kew spokesman said the work was "inspired by scientific research into the health of honeybee and has become a visual symbol of the challenges facing bees today".
Buttress's daughter Camille worked with the bands Spiritualized and Amiina and sounds from nature, such queen bees buzzing and ducks quaking, to create a soundscape for the installation, while the light and sound intensity is controlled by instruments measuring the activity of bees in one of Kew's real hives.

Plaid Cymru's Arfon MP Hywel Williams made his calls ahead of the second reading of the EU Referendum Bill in the House of Commons on 9 June.
Mr Williams said contingencies must be put in place for common agricultural policy and structural funds payments in the event of a vote to leave.
The loss of these funds would be "catastrophic", he said.
Mr Williams, Plaid's foreign affairs spokesman at Westminster, said the government must "urgently" set out their intentions.
"To suddenly cut off vital funds to our farming communities would also potentially decimate the agricultural industry here - a cornerstone of the Welsh economy," he added. | An MP has called on the UK government to set out contingency plans on "vital" EU farm funding to Wales. | 33034651 |
The 14-time major championship winner has had three operations to fix back problems and last played a tournament in August 2015.
Woods' exempt status means he is free to play if he wishes, but his registration is no guarantee that he will compete at Oakmont on 16 June.
His agent Mark Steinberg told ESPN the paperwork was "simply procedural".

The singer made a much-trumpeted return to the limelight last week when she released the first track from her forthcoming album, 25.
Hello had combined sales of 330,000, the biggest opening week since X Factor winner James Arthur's Impossible in 2012, which sold 490,000 copies.
Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer landed their first number one album with Sounds Good Feels Good.
Aside from the young band, the top five album chart is made up of music veterans - with Bryan Adams, Andrea Bocelli, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott and Daniel O'Donnell all scoring high new entries.
Adele is no stranger to breaking records. Her last album, 21, went on to become the biggest selling record of the 21st Century, shifting more than 30 million copies worldwide.
Her first two albums have also returned to the top 40 this week following promotion for her single.
This is only Adele's second number one single, after 2011's Someone Like You.

Michael Currer, 59, died from chest and facial injuries after being assaulted.
He phoned police on 9 November, but when officers arrived at Saffron Square they were told "police assistance was no longer needed".
The case has been referred to the police watchdog due to Mr Currer's contact with officers before his death.
Norfolk Police said the IPCC had authorised a local investigation which would take place in due course.
A man in his 50s and a woman in her 40s were arrested in connection with the murder and have since been released on bail.
Officers have been in the Saffron Square area two weeks on from the murder "to speak to people who use the area regularly as a route to work or in their social life that might have seen something which could progress the investigation," said Det Ch Insp Andy Guy.
"No matter how insignificant the information may seem to you, it could be key to our enquiries." | Police investigating the murder of a man in Norwich say he called officers "requesting assistance" a few days before he was found dead. | 38079982 |
Susan Benstead, 72, was given a two-year suspended jail term for money laundering in June 2015 for her part in the Crown Currency fraud.
She has now been ordered to pay £868,580 in a proceeds of crime hearing at Southwark Crown Court.
A hearing is under way for the former mayor of Glastonbury, Edward James.

Crown Currency collapsed in October 2010, owing clients a total of £20m.
Up to 12,500 people are believed to have lost money, the court heard.
Benstead's trial at the same court in 2015 heard she used £900,000 of customers' money to buy a luxury home in Cornwall.
Her husband Peter, 72, killed himself during the trial.
She and James were two of five people found guilty of offences connected to Crown Currency's collapse.

About 70 mourners gathered at Mexborough Cemetery in Doncaster for the funeral of 92-year-old Royal Navy veteran Douglas Barratt on Wednesday, but were locked out for 40 minutes.
The digger, used for graves, then forced open the doors of the chapel.
A Doncaster Council spokesman said they were "very sorry" for what happened.
Mr Barratt's family said he died on 15 December, with members of the British Legion coming from "all over" to attend his service but were left stood in the cold and "chilled to the bone".
Arrangements had been made for someone to come an hour before the funeral to open the building and put the heating on, but no-one arrived.
Mr Barratt's son-in-law said the door was "pushed and shoved" by several people but it wouldn't open.
Stuart Venables, from Mexborough, said: "Eventually the decision was made to bring in a small JCB which was used for digging the grave to try and ease the door open.
"It didn't take long, just one push and the doors opened. A rousing cheer went up and we took Doug into the chapel."
Mr Venables said attendees thought it was "very disrespectful", but added they also thought it would be a "funeral to be remembered for years".
Dave Wilkinson, from the council, said: "We are very sorry for what has happened and will be making contact with the family to apologise in person.
"We are looking into this and will be learning lessons so this does not happen again."
A new lock has since been installed on the chapel doors.
Mr Venables added: "If Doug had been stood outside, he would have been splitting his sides with laughter." | A council has apologised after a digger had to be used to prise open a chapel's doors for a funeral when an employee failed to turn up with the keys. | 35213688 |
The SoloSnack-branded products, which are produced by Eat & Go Co in Kirkcaldy, issued the voluntary recall on Saturday.
However, on Monday, Food Standards Scotland officials found the shelf life of the food was still being extended.
People have been told to return them to the shop they bought them from.
The products are thought to have reached shops in Edinburgh, Fife and Dundee.
The SoloSnack range includes Scotch pies, curry pies, steak pies, sausage rolls, steak bridies, mince bridies, Cornish pasties and mixed vegetable pies.
It also includes sandwiches with fillings such as chicken mayo, egg mayonnaise, tuna mayonnaise and ham and cheese.
Further SoloSnack products include broccoli and lentil slices, chilli bean slices, tuna pasta salads, pasta bakes, cheese burgers and microwavable ready meals.
Eat & Go Co managing director Naji Yassen said he was told for the first time on Friday the products should have a three-day shelf life, lower than the shelf life he has been operating under over several years.
He said such a shelf life would, in effect, mean the products are in the shops for one day only - a situation he said would mean there is "no way" his business could survive.
Mr Yassen said he had called in microbiologists to carry out testing on Wednesday and is hopeful the longer six-day shelf life will be reinstated following the results of those tests.
He claimed the health authorities were wrong to issue the notice, and added: "I feel absolutely upset and angry because I have been doing this for 20 years.
"We've had no problem whatsoever with anybody. How come all of a sudden the six days is too long?" | Pastries, pies and sandwiches produced by a shop supplier in Fife have been recalled after inspectors found the sell- by dates had been extended. | 38304807 |
The figure was up 0.1% from October despite 42,700 jobs being added to the economy, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) said.
Only 1,800 of those roles were full-time work, but the overall figure was higher than the 15,000 forecasted.
A higher participation rate - people in work or looking for it - offset the job gains, raising the jobless rate.
In reaction to the mixed data, Australian shares headed lower with the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 down 0.5% to 5,231 points.
Economists said the country's central bank was under pressure to cut interest rates further from their record low of 2.5%.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has not moved on interest rates for 16 consecutive months.
Australia has avoided recession for more than 20 years, but the economy is struggling to shift to non-mining led growth.

Claire Riley, 23, was due to be sentenced at Northampton Crown Court over the death of six-month-old Molly-Mae Wotherspoon, killed by an illegal American pit bull in Daventry in 2014.
Earlier her family clashed with media as she arrived under an umbrella.
The child's grandmother, Susan Aucott, 55, remains at court, with sentencing due to take place later.
The pair have admitted being in charge of an out of control dog.

The court previously heard Aucott was looking after her granddaughter at Riley's former home in Morning Star Road, Daventry, when dog Bruiser attacked her.
Molly-Mae suffered severe blood loss from head wounds. The dog was put down at the scene.
Aucott, 55, of Alfred Street, Northampton, admitted being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog resulting in death in June, as did Riley, of Merrydale Square, Northampton, on the first day of her trial the same month.
Claire Riley's pregnancy halted sentencing last month after she was too unwell to attend court.

A number of officers in Gilford, Banbridge and Portadown had their vehicles and homes set on fire and, in some cases, destroyed between April and July last year.
Det Insp Keith Gawley described the attacks on the officers as "serious and life-endangering".
He appealed for information.
The arrests on Tuesday followed searches at houses in Larne, Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon.
A number of items were taken away for examination.
The chairman of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland, Mark Lindsay, condemned the attacks.
"We've seen far too many attacks on the homes of officers. Families have been left traumatised," he said.
"Fortunately, no-one was injured. They are a clear attempt to bully, intimidate and terrorise, but they won't succeed."
The six men and three women are being questioned at Musgrave police station.
They have been arrested on suspicion of a range of offences, including arson with intent to endanger lives, theft, conspiracy to cause an explosion and possession of controlled drugs.
Det Insp Gawley said the police investigation was also focused on "offences involving drugs". | Nine people have been arrested by police investigating a number of arson attacks on the homes of serving police officers. | 39046544 |
Successful applicants will be granted one of 100 new licences to perform at designated locations on the network.
Only soloists and duos will be allowed to audition to access the 1,800 bookable slots each week shared by the current crop of 250 buskers.
"Busking has become an essential part of London Underground's identity," said LU managing director Mark Wild.

The hives and bees, worth about £2,000, were taken on 26 April from the Hooton Pagnell Hall estate, near Doncaster.
Beekeeper Amanda Clayton said she was heartbroken by the theft.
South Yorkshire Police said it was investigating the incident, which is reported to be the first case of bee rustling in the UK this year.
More on this and other local stories from across Yorkshire
Ms Clayton said: "It takes a lot of hard work and money to keep bees - and to turn up and find they were all gone is heartbreaking."
"The bees were active, and the hives were full."
She believes the theft of her entire stock was carried out by someone who knew how to handle and transport them without being stung.
A bee smoker was left at the scene, possibly used to calm the bees before they were taken, she added.
Ms Clayton, who only started keeping bees about a year ago, said she intended to start again, and had taken advice about branding equipment to deter thieves, and to make it easier to find if it is stolen.
Diane Roberts, from the British Bee Keeping Association, said it was the first case she had heard of this year.
She concurred with Ms Clayton that the culprits would have had a knowledge of beekeeping.
"For a start you couldn't just load a hive into the back of a car", she said.
"People would be stung from head to foot."
She said the thieves would have probably sedated the bees using a smoker, before blocking up the entrances to the hives.
It is thought the bees are being divided up and resold by unscrupulous keepers, she added. | The owner of 24,000 bees stolen from a private estate in South Yorkshire said the theft must have been carried out by someone with expertise in beekeeping. | 39816267 |
Jack Lew was speaking in Beijing ahead of an annual meeting between the US and China to discuss trade and security.
China is the world's biggest steel producer and has been accused of selling products below market prices.
Mr Lew said the overcapacity could have a "corrosive" impact on the Chinese economy.
US officials will discuss the issue with their Chinese counterparts at the annual US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue on Monday and Tuesday.
What's behind China's cheap steel?
"Excess capacity ultimately is corrosive of an economy's efficiency," Mr Lew said.
"It means you have misallocation of resources, it means that ultimately, the only way to clear the market is to sell things at a price that is below what the world market price would otherwise be."
Mr Lew said excess capacity was not just a domestic issue in China, which produces more than half of the world's steel.
"The question of excess capacity is one that literally has an enormous effect on global markets for things like steel and aluminium, and we're seeing distortions in global markets because of excess capacity," he said.
Steel producers in Europe are concerned about low-cost Chinese imports flooding their markets, saying this has led to a collapse in prices.
Earlier this year, India's Tata Steel announced plans to sell its loss-making UK business, putting thousands of jobs at risk. It cited global oversupply of steel and imports to Europe as two of the factors that had "significantly impacted the long-term competitive position of the UK operation".
UK imports of Chinese steel increased from 303,000 tonnes in 2013 to 687,000 tonnes in 2014. | The US Treasury Secretary has urged China to reduce its excess steel capacity, which he says is distorting global markets. | 36457781 |

The study saw hundreds of mammal fossil teeth analysed by the Universities of Southampton and Chicago.
The findings showed those with varied diets began to adapt 10 to 20 million years before the dinosaurs died out.
Researchers said it contradicted the traditional view that the extinction of dinosaurs around 66 million years ago allowed mammals to evolve and thrive.
Co-author Elis Newham, a PhD student at the University of Southampton, said: "The traditional view is that mammals were suppressed by the dinosaurs' success, and that they didn't really take off until after the dinosaurs went extinct."
But the report, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, said that more and more early mammal fossils, including some hoofed animal predecessors the size of dogs, had been discovered in recent years showing greater diversity than first thought.
And far from benefitting from the demise of dinosaurs, mammals also appeared to have suffered greatly from the asteroid impact which wiped out more than half of all life on Earth.
Lead author David Grossnickle, a PHD candidate at the University of Chicago, said the study was particularly relevant in light of the mass extinction the earth was currently undergoing.
He said: "The types of survivors that made it across the mass extinction 66 million years ago, mostly generalists, might be indicative of what will survive in the next hundred years, the next thousand." | Mammals began to flourish well before the end of the dinosaur age, a new study has found. | 36471746 |

The Tokyo Shimbun, one of the country's biggest daily titles, has worked with advertising firm Dentsu to create the AR News software.
It allows children to hold a smartphone over the newspaper to see a child-friendly version of the text.
In a promotional video, Dentsu said the app could "create a future for the old media newspaper".
"Newspapers were not made for children," the clip said.
"If newspapers became readable to children, they will contribute to family communication and child's education."
The demo video shows a father laying a newspaper out on a table as the child holds his smartphone over the page. Cartoon characters appear on the screen, explaining stories and drawing attention to important words.
"Difficult articles and social problems, economy and politics became interesting subjects for children," Dentsu said.
"The newspapers became a media read by both parent and child. And also an educational tool for children."
Paul Bradshaw, university lecturer and blogger on new technology in journalism, told the BBC he was impressed with the idea.

The Championship football match between Blackburn and Middlesbrough and League One games Blackpool v Oldham and Wigan v Sheffield United were called off.
More than 200 flood warnings and alerts have been issued, with seven severe warnings in place for Lancashire.
Sunday's Welsh Grand National meeting at Chepstow is also off, as is the two-day fixture at Wetherby.
Other football matches which fell foul of the weather were Bury v Barnsley, Accrington Stanley v Carlisle, Morecambe v Mansfield, Hartlepool v Notts County and Rochdale v Crewe.
Carlisle - who were due to face Accrington at 15:00 GMT - played their last home game at Preston North End's Deepdale stadium after Storm Desmond left their Brunton Park ground under water.
Stanley manager John Coleman criticised the decision - before later apologising - saying it was not "fair". Accrington's last two home matches have also been called off.
Dundee United's Premiership match against Motherwell is one of several Scottish fixtures postponed on Saturday because of waterlogged pitches.

What are your memories of the Battle of Britain? Were you involved in the campaign? Or do you know someone who was?
The Battle of Britain was the German air force's attempt to gain air superiority over the RAF.
The battle lasted throughout the summer of 1940. It was the first major battle in history fought entirely in the air and was the first significant strategic defeat for the Nazis during World War Two.
Their ultimate failure was one of the turning points of the Second World War and prevented Germany from invading Britain.
To mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain we would like to hear stories and memories from the time. If you are happy to share your family stories please get in touch.

The "clarification" came after its oil discovery in Horse Hill last week.
UKOG's chief executive told the BBC at the time that the Weald area, including the new discovery, could have "between 50 and 100 billion barrels of oil in place in the ground".
But the company now says it has "not undertaken work... sufficient to comment" on the Weald Basin potential.
A spokesman told the BBC that the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) - on which the company is listed - wanted UKOG to "clarify and reinforce the numbers".
UKOG announced: "The company has not undertaken work outside of its licence areas sufficient to comment on the possible OIP [oil in place] in either the approximate 1,100 sq miles or the whole of the Weald Basin."
It added that "further well testing and assessment of recovery factors will be required to seek to quantify net resources in relation to the... areas and to prove its commerciality".
When the Horse Hill oil discovery was announced, the oil exploration company's chief executive Stephen Sanderson said: "We believe we can recover between 5% and 15% of the oil in the ground, which by 2030 could mean that we produce 10% to 30% of the UK's oil demand from within the Weald area."
UKOG maintains its estimation of the new Horse Hill discovery at 158 million barrels of oil per sq mile.

National Grid reported that, on Wednesday lunchtime, power from wind, solar, hydro and wood pellet burning supplied 50.7% of UK energy.
Add in nuclear, and by 2pm low carbon sources were producing 72.1% of electricity in Great Britain.
Wednesday lunchtime was perfect for renewables being both sunny and windy.
Records for wind power are being set across Northern Europe.
The National Grid, the body that owns and manages the power supply around the UK, said in a tweet: "For the first time ever this lunchtime wind, nuclear and solar were all generating more than both gas and coal combined."
On Tuesday, a tenth of the UK's power was coming from offshore wind farms - a newcomer on the energy scene whose costs have plummeted far faster than expected.
So much power was being generated by wind turbines, in fact, that prices fell to a tenth of their normal level.
Environmentalists will salute this new record as a milestone towards the low carbon economy.
Critics of renewable energy sources will point to the disruption renewables cause to the established energy system.
At the time of Wednesday's record, 1% of demand was met by storage; this will have to increase hugely as Great Britain moves towards a low-carbon electricity system.

Hughes was sent to the stand for reacting angrily to two incidents during the 4-0 defeat by Tottenham.
The 52-year-old said the FA charge "rubbed salt into the wounds".
"There is no point appealing because if you appeal and lose then it costs you more money," he said.
"I would prefer to give that to my grandchildren."
The Welshman, who was upset by the decision to book Marko Arnautovic for diving during Saturday's game, was charged on Tuesday and could face a touchline ban.
Stoke said they would speak to the FA about a "potentially inconsistent approach" from match officials to managers leaving their technical areas.
The Potters, who travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday (14:15 BST), are bottom of the Premier League with one point from four games.
However, Hughes is confident his squad will turn things around

Mark Bullock, 50, from Stoke-on-Trent, died after he was badly scalded when steam from elsewhere in the system fed into the area where he was working.
John Pointon and Sons was fined £660,000 at Stafford Crown Court after admitting health and safety breaches.
The firm was also ordered to pay £187,000 in costs following Mr Bullock's death in 2011.

Four local fire services have been working with the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) since January to respond to life-threatening emergencies.
The firefighters are equipped with a medical kit so they can treat people when they are first on the scene.
The pilot has now been widened to include Redcar on Teesside.
Further stations are set to follow the brigades in Cleveland, County Durham and Darlington, Tyne and Wear and Northumberland who have been working as part of the Emergency Medical Response scheme.
NEAS director Caroline Thurlbeck said: "Our ambition for this trial is to improve the survival rate for those people who suffer from a life-threatening illness or injury in the community."

Less than five minutes into the match, Daly took out Leonardo Senatore in mid-air, becoming only the fifth England player to be sent off in a Test.
A statement issued by World Rugby said the disciplinary committee had found that the Wasps wing "acted recklessly".
Daly, 24, will miss Saturday's international against Australia.
He was initially given a six-week ban, but the punishment was halved after the player acknowledged wrongdoing.
He also apologised to Senatore, who took no further part in the match after the incident.
England went on to win their 13th match in a row by beating Argentina 27-14, despite Daly's red card. Victory over Australia on Saturday would equal England's record of 14 consecutive wins, set under Sir Clive Woodward in 2003.

"In my book I wrote, 'There's a fine line between being selfish and being driven,' and I crossed that line a lot when I was younger," he said.
"And I didn't get a chance to spend a lot of time with my older boys and I regret that now."
But Rogers, 77, will sign off with a final farewell world tour next year.
Cities and dates have yet to be announced.
In a video message to fans on his website, Rogers said: "I love all of you, I love the way you've treated me. You've always been respectful and I will miss you dearly but I must go be with my boys. Goodbye."

Ronan Costello, of Huddersfield Giants Under-19s, died three days after he suffered a severe traumatic brain injury against Salford Red Devils on June 11.
Bradford Coroner's Court heard Mr Costello slipped during a tackle and hit his head on the ground.
Assistant coroner Philip Holden said: "This was a tragic death of a really promising young rugby player."
He added that the teenager was "doing what he loved".
Live updates on this and other stories from West Yorkshire
Mr Costello, who started playing rugby league at the age of six and signed professionally in 2015, suffered the brain injury after being tackled by Salford's Adam Jones and Aaron Moore.
The inquest was told the tackle was not malicious.
Mr Jones described his tackle as "perfectly good", but said he had considered giving up rugby after the "extremely traumatic" incident.
The inquest heard Mr Costello had the ball and appeared to "slip or stumble" as he was tackled before his head or chin came into contact with Mr Jones's shoulder, causing him to fall backwards.
The back of his head hit the ground and he lost consciousness and began fitting.
After medical treatment on the Huddersfield's Dram Centre pitch, Mr Costello was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary for brain surgery but was pronounced dead on 14 June.
A police investigation found the death was not suspicious.
Ronan's father, Martin, said he did not hold Salford players responsible for "a tragic accident".

The loch's volunteer lifeboat crew was called to the aid of an exhausted kayaker on Sunday and two capsized canoeists on Tuesday.
High winds were a feature of the weather conditions on both days.
A spokeswoman for RNLI Loch Ness said: "Loch Ness often takes people by surprise."
She added: "We always advise people to be prepared and check the weather conditions before setting out."
The first of the incidents involved a holidaymaker who got into difficulty in a kayak.
Loch Ness' lifeboat was launched at about 16:40 and one of the crew helped the man to swim with the aid of a rope line to the rescue boat.
The spokeswoman said: "The man, who was very shaken by his experience, was returned safely to the campsite at Foyers by the lifeboat crew before they returned to base."
The second call-out came at about 14:15 on Tuesday after two canoeists had capsized but managed to reach shore at the north of Invermoriston.
The spokeswoman said: "Cold and wet and hampered by waves and wind, they were soon picked up by the Loch Ness lifeboat."

Lt Col Benedict Tomkins, 49, of Defence, Equipment and Support, based at Abbey Wood, near Bristol, denies rape.
The alleged attack happened after a UN event in Uganda in January 2015.
She told the court Col Tomkins came into her room under the pretence of working on a joint presentation.
The attack is said to have taken place at the Sheraton Hotel in Kampala after a drink-fuelled function.
The woman told the court that although her memory was hazy, she remembered he approached her and "instantly" unzipped her dress and forced her on to the bed after she spurned his advances.
Col Tomkins maintains the sex was consensual and that it followed kissing and intimate touching.
"I know I was too drunk to consent to any of that, if any of that happened," she added.
Defending, Peter Glesner accused her of "exaggerating" her drunkenness.
He said: "You were sober enough to collaborate with a senior British officer on a presentation but too drunk to consent to sex?"

Georgina Callander was among 22 people killed when Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb following an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May.
Her mum Lesley said the 18-year-old had been awarded an unconditional place at Edge Hill University in Lancashire.
Georgina was interested in paediatrics from the age of 11, she said.
The student, from Chorley, was in her second year of studying health and social care at Runshaw College in Leyland and had recently passed her driving test when she was killed.
Speaking as students across the country received their exam results, her mother Lesley said: "It made her very happy - the thought that she was off to uni to do what she loved.

The colour of a liquid changes to give either a positive or negative result.
The designers from Imperial College London say the device could lead to more widespread testing for HIV and other diseases in parts of the world where other methods are unaffordable.
The prototype, which needs wider testing, is described in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
The test can be configured to a unique signature of a disease or virus - such as a protein found on the surface of HIV.
If that marker is present it changes the course of a chemical reaction. The final result is blue if the marker is there, red if the marker is not.
The researchers say this allows the results to be detected with "the naked eye".
Prof Molly Stevens told the BBC: "This method should be used when the presence of a target molecule at ultra-low concentration could improve the diagnosis of disease.
"For example, it is important to detect some molecules at ultra-low concentrations to test cancer recurrence after tumour removal.
"It can also help with diagnosing HIV-infected patients whose viral load is too low to be detected with current methods."
Early testing showed the presence of markers of HIV and prostate cancer could be detected. However, trials on a much larger scale will be needed before it could be used clinically.
The researchers expect their design will cost 10 times less than current tests. They say this will be important in countries where the only options are unaffordable.
Fellow researcher Dr Roberto de la Rica said: "This test could be significantly cheaper to administer, which could pave the way for more widespread use of HIV testing in poorer parts of the world." | A cheap test which could detect even low levels of viruses and some cancers has been developed by UK researchers. | 20084303 |
Leston Lawrence stole $127,116 (CA$165,451; £100,000) of gold in 22 pieces.
The 35-year-old, who was found guilty last November, was caught after he had successfully sold 17 of the gold pieces through Ottawa Gold Buyers.
Ontario Court Judge Peter Doody ordered Lawrence to pay a $145,900 fine.
Passing sentence on Thursday, he ruled that Lawrence should serve another 30 months in prison if he fails to pay the penalty within three years of his release.
Investigators found vaseline and latex gloves in the mint employee's locker.
Judge Doody said these items "could have been used to facilitate insertion of gold items inside his rectum", reports the Toronto Star.
The 17 laundered pucks weighed as much as 264g apiece and were sold for sums up to $7,300 each between 2014 and 2015.
Lawrence was convicted of conveying gold out of the mint, breach of trust by a public official and possession of property obtained by crime.
He used the money to buy a boat in Florida and build a house in Jamaica, the court heard.
Lawrence's job was to purify gold and he occasionally worked alone in an area not covered by security cameras.

The global drug firm is offering nearly $30bn (£20bn; €28bn) for Ireland-based Perrigo, which makes medications including nasal sprays.
Mylan said the businesses would complement each other, and the deal would produce a company with critical mass in speciality brands.
Perrigo confirmed the approach.
"This combination would result in meaningful immediate and long-term value creation, and our proposal is designed to deliver that value to shareholders and other stakeholders of both companies," said Mylan's executive chairman Robert J. Coury.
Mylan says it wants to buy Perrigo for $205 a share, or $28.86bn.
This potential mega deal could create a company with a stock market value of nearly $60bn.
Both companies have already been on the acquisition trail.
Last year, Mylan bought part of Abbott Laboratories' generic drugs business for $5.3bn, and Perrigo spent $4.5bn buying Omega Pharma.
News of the potential deal pushed Perrigo's shares up nearly 20% in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange, while Mylan's share price leapt 14%. | Generic drug firm Mylan has offered to buy over-the-counter rival Perrigo in a cash and stock deal that would create a pharmaceutical powerhouse. | 32220406 |

The welterweight rivals, both 30, had been in talks to fight for Brook's IBF title in May but could not agree on financial terms.
Hearn said he offered a 50-50 split but added Khan called for 70-30 because "he feels he is the bigger name".
"When someone puts 70-30 on the table, it puts up boundaries," added Hearn.
"The communication lines are open but it's just the perception of what the split should be between the two camps is too wide."
Khan, who has fought in nine world title bouts, wrote on Twitter: "Eddie I'm the A side. Don't you agree?"
The former light-welterweight world champion added: "70/30. You both will make a lot of money."
Bolton's Khan stepped up two weight classes to challenge Mexican Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and suffered a heavy knockout defeat in May 2016, while Brook met the same fate when he stepped up two weights against middleweight king Gennady Golovkin in September.
"I think Amir Khan is a bigger name than Kell Brook but Kell Brook is the world champion," said Hearn.
"Kell is coming off the back of a loss and Amir Khan got knocked out badly in his last fight so I think 45 or 55 percent one way is a reasonable range but he might take the fight later in the year."
If the two fighters do come to an agreement, Hearn suggested that the match-up has the potential to make a great trilogy.
"I think Amir Khan has got three or four fights left," he said.
"Three of them could be a trilogy against Kell Brook because I think they would all be fantastic fights. They are 50-50 fights so the purse should be too." | Negotiations for an all-British super-fight between Amir Khan and Kell Brook were halted by a purse split, says promoter Eddie Hearn. | 38742971 |
Mr Obama said after the meeting that much of the discussion had focused on the upcoming climate conference in Paris.
Mr Modi added that the two sides had set "ambitious national agendas" to tackle climate change.
Experts say India's position is key if a climate change deal is to be signed in Paris later this year.
India is the world's third largest carbon emitter, after China and the US.
This is the fifth meeting between Mr Obama and Mr Modi since the latter swept to power in India in May 2014.
"What I indicated to the prime minister is that I really think that India's leadership in this upcoming conference will set the tone not just for today but for decades to come", Mr Obama said in a statement after the meeting.
Mr Modi's statement said that while both leaders shared "an uncompromising commitment on climate change", he was careful to mention that this was "without affecting our ability to meet the development aspirations of humanity".
India argues that more than 20% of its population has no access to electricity and they have a right to development.
Earlier this year, India's Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar told the BBC that India would not follow China's lead to announce a target year for its carbon emissions to peak.
However, Mr Modi reiterated his commitment to "clean and sustainable energy" and announced plans to include "not just a plan to add 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, but a development strategy that will enable us to transition to a more sustainable energy mix".
The statement from the Indian side added that Mr Modi had sought US help to bring about "UN reform" under which India is seeking a permanent seat on the security council. | Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met US President Barack Obama before concluding his visit to the country. | 34387986 |
