She said that she thought "farmers, certainly in my very early discussions with them, are perhaps not the best people to run a business".
"They haven't that kind of business perspective also, and they want to work with us in relation to that," she said.
"This is just some of the farmers I've spoken to early in the portfolio. I'm not saying all farmers at all." | Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths has sparked criticism after she suggested in the assembly that some farmers are not the best people to run a business. | 36728203 |
The thief, who was wearing a flat cap, struck as he drank at the bar in Wagley's in Aberdeen's Exchange Street on Sunday night.
The tin was in aid of Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) and the bar is now planning a fundraising night to replace the money.
Police Scotland confirmed it was investigating.
The bar has turned to social media in the hope of tracking down the culprit.
One post states: "We have contacted the police but want your help to catch this disgusting excuse for a human being.
"Do you know him? Can you help us point the police in the right direction? We are willing to give a reward for the person who helps us get him caught." | A man has been caught on CCTV stealing a charity tin containing up to £100 to help sick children. | 34973812 |
The short piece was performed 840 times in a row as part of the Cheltenham Music Festival to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth.
Visitors to St Paul's Church in the town even brought along sleeping bags for the feat of musical endurance.
The marathon began at midday on Friday and finished on Saturday morning.
The single page of music was written by a distraught Satie in 1893 following a split from his one and only girlfriend.
The instructions for the performance, were that it should be played 840 times non-stop, extremely slowly.
But festival director, Meurig Bowen, said Satie "probably never intended that it should be performed".
"It wasn't performed in his lifetime," he said.
"It was performed in New York the first time in 1963. It was organised by John Cage and Andy Warhol was in the audience."
Among the pianists who took part at the keyboard in Cheltenham was Florian Kaplick, who flew in from Scotland especially.
"I could never play Vexations in a full cycle and when I heard that this was going to happen - I wanted to be part of it," he said.
Another of the 35 pianists, who took part in the marathon musical relay was actor and comedian Alastair McGowan.
"You're aware you're doing the same thing for half an hour and sometimes you're doing them and you're thinking have I gone back to the first bit or the second bit - you really cannot remember where you are," he said.
"But if you can't remember you hope the audience can't remember either." | Dozens of pianists have completed a 22-hour musical marathon by playing a rare, full-length performance of French composer Erik Satie's Vexations. | 36814394 |
The firm will be an official partner of the games, the second level of domestic sponsorship support.
The 2020 organising committee says the firm will provide lifts, escalators and moving walkways at sporting venues.
The move gives Mitsubishi Electric the right to use Olympic logos, mascots and slogans in its marketing campaigns.
The move brings the total number of Tokyo 2020 Partners to 28, including 13 in the official partners criteria.
The Olympic sponsor programme is divided into four separate categories, with the IOC's Olympic Partner (TOP) programme constituting the very highest level of Olympic sponsorship.
The three remaining categories are designated for domestic sponsors. The highest domestic tier comprises gold partners, the second tier consists of official partners and the third tier is made up of official supporters. | Japanese industrial giant Mitsubishi Electric has signed up as a sponsor of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo. | 35687893 |
Unison, the health service union, said the walkout was suspended to allow more talks with the Northern Health Trust.
The dispute is over the rotation of nurses from the paediatric ward to the hospital's emergency department.
Unison's Brian Ferguson said the suspension would "allow for urgent meaningful negotiations to take place to try and resolve this trade dispute". | Planned strike action by paediatric nurses at the Antrim Area Hospital on Thursday has been called off. | 34864647 |
The Historical Abuse Inquiry is examining claims of abuse at 13 homes and training centres in Northern Ireland from 1922 to 1995.
The nun, whose identity cannot be revealed, worked at the former St Joseph's home in Termonbacca, Derry.
She said she and another nun were responsible for looking after 60 boys.
"In the first five years, I don't remember any holidays" she said.
She was asked by inquiry chairman, Sir Anthony Hart: "Was it 24/7, 365 days a year?"
"It was, mostly," she replied.
The HIA is examining abuse claims in Northern Ireland's children's homes and juvenile justice institutions.
It is investigating claims of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as childhood neglect.
It began hearing evidence in January.
The public hearings stage of the inquiry is being held in Banbridge, County Down, and is expected to last for 18 months.
During that time, it is due to hear evidence from more than 300 witnesses, including former residents who claim they were abused as children, the people who ran the institutions, health and social care officials and government representatives. | A nun has told an inquiry she did not get any holidays during her first five years working at a former residential home in Londonderry in the 1960s. | 27323083 |
Marouani and his lawyer were held at a bank where they said they hoped to meet the singer, Philipp Kirkorov, to settle a copyright issue out of court.
Instead they were met by police, after Kirkorov filed a complaint alleging Marouani, a founder of the band Space, tried to extort €1m ($1.1m) from him.
Marouani claims that Kirkorov - a huge star in Russia - plagiarised his work.
In a Facebook post on 1 November, the French composer complained that Kirkorov and composer Oleg Popkov had a huge hit with Cruel Love, a 2002 song that he said had partly been copied from his own composition Symphonic Space Dream.
Why Philipp Kirkorov admires Donald Trump
Marouani's lawyer Igor Trunov said on Monday that Kirkorov had agreed to sign an agreement to pay compensation for use of his song.
But Kirkorov's lawyer Alexandre Dobrovinski denied that there had been any agreement and accused Marouani of extortion and slander.
Russian media reported that Marouani and Mr Trunov were released on Wednesday morning after being held overnight in a police cell.
Tass news agency quoted a law enforcement source as saying that police currently saw no reason to bring charges against the two, though no final decision had been taken.
However, Mr Trunov told Interfax news agency that they would now sue Kirkorov in a US court and that under US law the Russian singer was facing a minimum $10m payout.

The ozone layer is the part of the Earth's upper atmosphere where ozone, a form of oxygen gas, is found.
It absorbs UV radiation, preventing most of it from reaching us on the ground. This is important as UV radiation can lead to skin cancer.
The largest hole in the ozone layer appears over Antarctica.
But this hole has also stopped getting bigger, suggesting the ozone layer is beginning to recover.
But researchers says it will take around 10 years before the hole starts to shrink.
Scientists say it's getting better due to the efforts to stop man-made CFC gases destroying ozone.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are gases that were used in aerosol cans and refrigerators during the 20th century.
But in the 1970s scientists found that CFCs were destroying ozone in the atmosphere, and they were banned in America, Canada and Scandinavian countries. In 1990 93 countries got together and agreed to ban the use of CFCs by the year 2000.
Dr Ken Jucks from the US space agency Nasa told the BBC that humans "have started to do the right thing in order to convert the atmosphere back towards what it was before the industrial revolution started".
Scientists cannot be absolutely certain yet that the hole will get smaller. Prof David Vaughan from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) said: "We have to be a bit cautious, but this does look on the face of it like some very good news."
"Our own data from the Antarctic will take a few weeks to process but we hope to confirm the findings," he added.
The findings have been published by researchers from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). | The ozone layer that shields the Earth from the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays is showing signs of thickening, after years of getting thinner. | 29159047 |
Plans being considered by Gwent Police could see a non-residential area of Pill specified for use by prostitutes.
This follows a similar pilot scheme in the north of England.
A police spokeswoman said: "Local officers and councillors are realistic about the fact that prostitution will always exist and it has been shown that enforcement alone is not an effective solution."
The force said the plans were in the early stages and no decision would be made until officers looked at evidence from other initiatives and consulted with residents, businesses and the council.
"The number of prostitutes in Gwent is small but the small number that operate do so mostly in the Pill area of Newport, which is impacting the lives of local residents," the spokeswoman added.
"While we closely monitor and work with individuals involved in off-street prostitution, on-street prostitution has proven more difficult."
Gwent Police said similar schemes had increased the reporting of offences against prostitutes and allowed other agencies to work with women to help them leave the sex industry. | A part of Newport could be made a designated area for prostitution. | 33667829 |
Murtagh has joined Wood after making 113 appearances for Woking, having joined the Surrey side on a permanent deal from Mansfield in 2014.
He has also previously played for Cambridge, Wycombe and Macclesfield.
Wells, 32, made 97 appearances for Stevenage after joining from Braintree, before being released this summer.
"It all fitted in nicely and I will be doing a bit of coaching in the academy as well which helped," said Wells, who also has the option to extend his contract by a further year.
"I will also be able to start the college course that I wanted to with the days off that I will get, so I will be doing something that I love, while still playing football." | Boreham Wood have signed Woking midfielder Keiran Murtagh on a two-year deal and former Stevenage defender Dean Wells on a one-year contract. | 40219181 |
Nicholas Reeves said on Egyptian TV that two extra rooms had been found hidden in the walls of the tomb.
Egyptian officials say they hope to give the go-ahead to use radar scans to test Mr Reeves' theory that Nefertiti's remains are hidden in one of them.
She was queen of Egypt during the 14th Century BC.
Mr Reeves believes the remains of Tutankhamun, who died 3,000 years ago aged 19, may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Nefertiti's tomb.
The remains of Tutankhamun, who may have been Nefertiti's son, were found in 1922.
Dr Reeves developed his theory after a Spanish company of artistic and preservation specialists, Factum Arte, were commissioned to produce detailed scans of Tutankhamun's tomb.
The scans were then used to produce a facsimile of the 3,300-year-old tomb near the site of the original Valley of the Kings in Luxor.
While assessing the scans last February, Dr Reeves spotted what he believed were marks indicating where two doorways used to be. The archaeologist from the University of Arizona says he believes Nefertiti may lie inside.
Tutankhamun's tomb was the most intact ever discovered in Egypt. Close to 2,000 objects were found inside.
But its layout has been a puzzle for some time - in particular, why it was smaller than those of other kings' tombs.
Dr Reeves believes there are clues in the design of the tomb that indicate it was designed to store the remains of a queen, not a king. His theory has yet to be peer-reviewed and leading Egyptologists have urged caution over the conclusion. | The Egyptian pharaoh queen Nefertiti could be buried in two newly-discovered rooms in King Tutankhamun's tomb, according to a British archaeologist. | 34410720 |
A briefcase containing the jewellery was stolen on Tuesday while the star was performing in Phoenix, Arizona.
The bus had been used by the rapper and his official DJ, Future the Prince, on their Summer Sixteen tour.
The jewellery did not belong to Drake, but police did not confirm who owns it. Travion King, 21, was arrested on a burglary charge on Wednesday.
Mr King has worked as a stagehand at local entertainment venues in the past, but was not known to have been working at that particular show, police spokesman Vince Lewis said.
Mr King was initially arrested on a separate trespassing charge by campus police at Arizona State University in the early hours of Wednesday.
Police investigating the jewellery theft studied surveillance footage and then discovered their suspect was already in custody.
Drake is one of hip-hop's biggest stars, known for hits including Hotline Bling and One Dance.

Norma Bell, who cared for more than 50 children, died prior to a blaze at her home on Westbourne Road on 2 April.
She had lived at the house for 27 years and was due to celebrate her 80th birthday next month.
Gareth Dack, 32, made a brief appearance at Teesside Magistrates' Court and was remanded in custody.
Mr Dack, of Windermere Road in Hartlepool, was arrested earlier this week.

The city council considered a hire scheme in 2007, but it was shelved because of the cost.
Since then, London launched a scheme in 2010 and Glasgow followed suit with its own version before the Commonwealth Games in 2014, which is to be doubled in size.
Transport for Edinburgh is behind the latest move.
Lesley Hinds, City of Edinburgh Council's transport convener, said: "I'm absolutely delighted that we're going to have a pilot public cycle hire scheme in Edinburgh.
"Many cities now have successful bike hire schemes, which help encourage residents and visitors keep active while exploring their surroundings on two wheels.
"Thanks to the funding available as part of the local government finance settlement, we'll have more resources to devote to cycling projects (supplementing the 10% of the overall transport budget investment already allocated to cycling for 2017/18) and we plan to use some of this extra money for a pilot cycle hire scheme." | A cycle hire scheme is to be trialled in Edinburgh in a £150,000 project later this year. | 39293123 |
They blamed government corruption for a lack of investment in infrastructure.
On Thursday, the government declared a four-day public holiday after temperatures broke 50C (122F), with appeals for people to save power.
Blackouts are common during the summer as Iraq's electricity grid struggles to deal with the extreme temperatures.
Analysts say that the country's grid was severely damaged by US bombing during the 2003 invasion. The infrastructure has also been repeatedly targeted by insurgents.
In some areas of the country it is common to have only a few hours of electricity each day.
The government has admitted that at peak times during the summer it will only be able to provide half the country's required power.
On Wednesday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered electricity to be cut at state institutions and the homes of all government officials.
However, the protestors on the streets of Baghdad remain angry.
"We are demonstrating against a failed government, a government that has disappointed the hopes of the people," protestor Nahida Ahmad told AFP.
Earlier this month a man was killed at a protest about shortages near the southern city of Basra. | Hundreds of Iraqi protesters have taken to the streets of Baghdad to protest against power shortages as the country experiences a heatwave. | 33743746 |
The colt, trained in France by Jean-Claude Rouget, won the French Derby,Irish Champion Stakes and Champion Stakes at Ascot in 2016.
He had been training as a four-year-old with the aim of running in October's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, but finished only fifth at Deauville last Tuesday.
"It was not an easy decision to take," said Sylvain Vidal, racing manager for part-owner Gerard Augustin-Normand.
"But everyone was in 100% agreement that it was the right thing to do.
"The plan was to go to the Arc, but after his performance last week we could not have gone there expecting to win.
"He was a very good horse and was the best three-year-old in Europe. He has done everything he needs to do on a racecourse."

The new centre would replace the 42-year-old River Park Leisure Centre which needs at least £3m of repairs.
Winchester City Council has agreed to develop plans to build a new out-of-town centre at Bar End.
If it goes ahead, it is expected to take three years to complete.
The council said it would now develop a business case and finalise designs for the new complex which would include a 50m swimming pool.
The authority said it planned to borrow the money needed and also hoped to secure additional partnership funding from the University of Winchester.
The existing building at North Walls will be knocked down and the site then offered for reuse.
In 2013, the council sparked protests when it announced plans to rebuild the existing centre and expand it into what campaigners called "Winchester's only park". | A new £25m sports complex with an Olympic-sized swimming pool has been floated by council bosses as the solution to ageing leisure facilities in Winchester. | 36849353 |
Dominic Bernard, 18, from Epsom in Surrey, arrived in Guyana last October but went missing soon after landing.
His badly decomposed body was discovered on 8 January in a shallow grave in the Berbice region.
Two men face a murder charge, while a man and two women are accused of helping bury the body.
Post-mortem examinations revealed Mr Bernard had suffered a fractured skull and a broken neck.
Police were reported to have recovered a hammer, thought to have been one of the murder weapons.
The investigation has been led by the Guyana Police Force but Surrey Police has been liaising "with all relevant agencies as inquiries continue".
Mr Bernard's parents Andrew and Linda said their son had travelled to pursue a dream of studying film-making.
They said he was "chasing his dreams, exploring his heritage and doing the things that brought joy to his heart."
He "tragically encountered those who do not share his values", they added. | Five people have been charged in connection with the killing of an aspiring British film-maker in South America. | 35337758 |
Matthew Kennerley, director of Associated British Ports (ABP) in south Wales is "concerned" about the route.
The Welsh government plans to address M4 traffic problems with a new 14 mile road from Magor to Castleton, including a bridge over the docks.
Mr Kennerley believes if the bridge is not high enough it will cost Wales' busiest commercial port "huge sums".
Currently the port handles 1.85 million tonnes of goods a year, said to be worth £186m annually to the Welsh economy.
But Mr Kennerley thinks a bridge could potentially prevent about 60% of ships from entering the north docks, making a kilometre of quayside redundant.
He also believes a bridge would stop larger cranes from moving around the docks, with companies then tempted to use Bristol docks instead.
First Minister Carwyn Jones addressed concerns in the assembly recently and said officials have met ABP officials a number of times.
He said the height of the bridge will be examined to allow the docks to carry on working as normal.
"The M4 project will vastly improve motorway capacity and resilience across the south of Wales, benefitting not only the port of Newport but also the ABP operations in Swansea, Port Talbot, Barry and Cardiff," Mr Jones added.
The road could be built by 2022 and the latest projections indicate it will cost less than the £1bn initial estimates.
It will cross five sites of special scientific interest and Friends of the Earth Cymru failed in a legal challenge to force Welsh ministers to reconsider the route. | The controversial M4 relief road could cost Newport docks £30 million in investment, the port's boss claims. | 32757813 |

The bank said the aim was to speed up the adoption of new technology and "continue to lead in digital banking".
It said 3,500 jobs would go in Belgium and 2,300 in the Netherlands. It expects to make savings of €900m (£780m; $1bn) a year.
ING said it was setting aside €1.1bn to pay for redundancies.
The bank currently employs 51,833 people.
ING chief executive Ralph Hamers said that all in all, over the coming five years, about 7,000 jobs might be "impacted", including 950 positions employed by external suppliers.
"Customers are increasingly digital and bank with us more and more through mobile devices," said Mr Hamers.
"Their needs and expectations are the same, all over the world, and they expect us to adopt new technology as fast as companies in other sectors.
"In order to continue to lead in digital banking, we need to offer a better customer experience, that's instant, personal, frictionless and relevant."
He added: "From 2016 to 2021, we intend to invest €800m in our digital transformation, building a scalable platform to cater for continued commercial growth, an improved customer experience and a quicker delivery of new products."
Last week, Germany's second-biggest lender, Commerzbank, said it was planning to cut 9,600 jobs over the next four years and end dividend payments for the first time.
Big banks in general are facing challenges from new competition and the higher cost of new regulations, while at the same time, ultra-low interest rates are hitting profits. | Dutch bank ING says it intends to cut about 5,800 jobs in Belgium and the Netherlands over the next five years as part of a cost-cutting plan. | 37538722 |

Adam Elliott, 26, had been convicted for driving with his head poking out of a Ford Ka car roof, in Gateshead.
Elliott, of Newcastle, got a suspended jail term after he admitted dangerous driving but denied he was standing up.
But 6ft 7in (2m) tall Elliott, has now been jailed for 18 months over the collision with two vehicles that happened as police pursued him.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that while he was being sentenced for the driving-while-standing-up offence, in December 2016, the judge was unaware that days earlier he had been involved in the crash.
He was not arrested for the crash offence until May this year.
The court was told that during the crash, he smashed his Ford Galaxy into a stationary bus and an oncoming car as he tried to get away from police.
The crash happened in Gateshead before he was due to be sentenced for driving the convertible Ford Ka near the Tyne Bridge while sitting on the headrest, steering with his knees and waving to other motorists.
He had initially claimed he was too tall for the small car.
In relation to the crash, he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.
The court was told Judge Robert Adams was unaware of the crash when he gave Elliott, of Aldwick Road, Newcastle, a suspended sentence in March.
In a statement via prison video link, Elliott, said: "My love and passion for cars has now dwindled - they have caused me nothing but trouble." | A man who drove a car while standing up has been jailed for other offences that involved him fleeing a crash scene. | 40305657 |
A campaign group has presented a 1,200-strong petition to Cardiff council against a planning application to bring Creigiau quarry back to life.
Firm Tarmac says its plan balances the need to extract 12.75m tonnes of limestone with "mitigating the impacts of developing the quarry".
The meeting took place at 19:00 BST on Sunday at Creigiau Church Hall.
The Stop Creigiau Quarry group claims country roads will become "no-go zones" with lorries taking up access routes, while environmental concerns have also been raised.
Residents are also worried that dust and noise from the quarry will affect children at Pentyrch Primary School, which is just two fields away from the quarry site. | About 140 people attended a meeting to voice their concerns over plans to reopen and expand a quarry in Cardiff. | 34499684 |
The treatment, known as TKM-Ebola-Guinea, targets the Makona strain of the virus, which caused the current deadly outbreak in West Africa.
All three monkeys receiving the treatment were healthy when the trial ended after 28 days; three untreated monkeys died within nine days.
Scientists cautioned that the drug's efficacy has not been proven in humans.
At present, there are no treatments or vaccines for Ebola that have been proven to work in humans.
University of Texas scientist Thomas Geisbert, who was the senior author of the study published in the journal Nature, said: "This is the first study to show post-exposure protection... against the new Makona outbreak strain of Ebola-Zaire virus."
Results from human trials with the drug are expected in the second half of this year.
Mr Geisbert said the drug, produced by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals, could be adapted to target any strain of Ebola and could be manufactured in as little as eight weeks.
It works by blocking particular genes, which stops the virus replicating.
The two-month production time compares with the several months needed to make ZMapp - another experimental drug, which cured monkeys with a different strain of Ebola than the one in the current outbreak.
Since March 2014, more than 10,602 people have been reported as having died from the disease in six countries - Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, the US and Mali.
The total number of reported cases is more than 25,556.

The Spring 2015 forecast has been published by the Ulster University Economic Policy Centre.
It says the NI economy had a relatively strong 2014, with increasing employment levels supporting high levels of consumer and business confidence.
Lower oil prices had a positive impact for consumers and businesses.
The report says that as a result, 2015 should also deliver relatively strong economic growth.
However, it adds: "Given the surprising Conservative Party majority (albeit slender) in the general election, the key trajectory of government spending over the period of this new Westminster parliament remains on a downward trend.
"Therefore the central theme of the UUEPC Spring 2015 forecast is one of austerity and its likely impact on growth.
"In contrast to many other forecasts, UUEPC expect economic growth in the medium term to slow in Northern Ireland (a feature of our forecasts for some time) as the private sector moves to take up the slack created by lower government spending."
The forecast predicts that gross value added (GVA), the preferred measure of economic activity, will drop from 1.9% in 2015 to 1.3% in 2018.
It also says that the growth in house prices will slow from 7.1% in 2015 to 5.5% in 2018.
The report also predicts a slight rise in unemployment between 2015 and 2018. | Northern Ireland will see relatively strong economic growth in 2015, but it is likely to slow in the following years, a new report says. | 32927050 |
Brian Matthew McKibben, 28, from Tonagh Gardens in the city, is accused of stealing cash and cigarettes from a woman in the Old Warren area last Wednesday.
It was also alleged that he robbed a takeaway restaurant at knifepoint on Thursday before stealing cash from a service station two hours later.
He was remanded in custody.
Lisburn Magistrates' Court heard that he stole £70 from the Chinese takeaway and an undisclosed sum of cash from a till the service station in Lagan Valley.
A PSNI detective constable told the court he believed he could connect Mr McKibben to each of the charges.
It was alleged that when he was cautioned for each offence, he told officers: "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, I'm very, very sorry".
No bail application was lodged and he was remanded to appear again on 28 May.

The authority considered the 4,000-signature petition against the project but decided to take no further action.
The planning application for the scheme will now be considered next week.
The Scottish government has pledged £2.5m towards the project but the council voted last year to allocate up to £3.5m.
Opponents raised concerns about the location of the facility and the amount being spent at a time when other services were being cut.
The local authority examined their concerns at a meeting but decided to proceed with the plans for the centre.
Brian McCrow, who helped lead a petition against the plans, said the decision was "not a surprise".
He added: "I am disappointed - I hoped they would have listened to the rational argument that was put forward."
He said he hoped the planning committee might still look at another site.
Council leader David Parker said elected members had considered the petition "very carefully".
"We had a very long debate about the evidence as to why we are supporting this project," he said.
"We were able to discuss all of the arguments of the petitioner.
"At the end of the day the majority of elected members felt that the project should still be supported because the evidence that underpins it is sound."

The artwork was commissioned by the chairman of the Matthew of Bristol Trust, Alderman Royston Griffey.
Located on the prow of the ship, the greyhound figure is the work of carver Michael Henderson who has created a number of other pieces in the city.
The Matthew is a replica medieval caravel built in 1997 to mark the 500th anniversary of John Cabot's voyage from Bristol to the New World in 1497.
The ship is permanently moored on Princes Wharf on Bristol Harbour.
Mr Griffey said the new figurehead depicts the White Greyhound of Richmond with a Tudor Rose badge.
"It is the emblem of King Henry VII. This is a Tudor ship, he was the first Tudor king, and as Duke of Richmond that was his symbol." Mr Griffey added.
Mr Griffey said for inspiration, the monarch granted Cabot Letters Patent for his groundbreaking voyage.
The Matthew decided to officially unveil the figurehead on 2 May, the anniversary of the original Matthew's - and the replica's - voyage to Newfoundland.
Mr Henderson has designed and carved a number of works around Bristol, including the signpost in the grounds of The Mansion House.
It points to the seven cities that are linked with Bristol and includes a medieval ship on top - the Matthew of Bristol. | Tall ship the Matthew of Bristol has officially unveiled a new figurehead. | 32553359 |
Tepco said xenon had been found in reactor two, which was previously thought to be near a stable shutdown.
There has been no increase in temperature or pressure, but the discovery may indicate a problem with the reactor.
Boric acid - used to suppress nuclear reactions - has been injected as a precaution.
Ever since the meltdowns in March triggered by the huge earthquake and tsunami, engineers have been working to bring the Fukushima reactors under control.
The government and Tepco - the Tokyo Electric Power Company - have said they are on track to achieve a stable shutdown by the end of the year.
But now they have found what could be a problem - radioactive xenon gas detected in a filter in reactor two.
Since it has a short half-life, it indicates a possibility of resumed nuclear fission in recent days.
Tepco says the temperature of the reactor, which has been below boiling point, has not increased, indicating any reaction would be small.
It is not ruling out a false reading but boric acid, which suppresses fission, was injected into the reactor overnight.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Japan a reactor has been switched on for the first time since the disaster.
Safety fears mean local authorities have been refusing permission for restarts after routine maintenance.
Dozens of facilities are offline amid concern about electricity shortages. | A radioactive gas has been detected at Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, the facility's operator says. | 15550270 |
Highways England is consulting on five options for the A27 at Chichester, which include new slip roads and improved signalling at junctions.
Spokesman Ken Simmonds said the £100m improvements would "definitely ease the congestion".
But campaign group Best4Chichester said the city needed a proper bypass.
"It's another sticking plaster job," said campaigner Chris Page.
"Originally we were told the budget would be up to £250m which might have allowed some proper improvements to the road system," he said.
"Now we're told it's about £100m so it's another penny-pinching job.
"They are going to have to come back in a couple of years and produce a proper solution to the traffic problems around Chichester.
"A city on a main road which is part of the strategic road network needs a bypass."
Chris Todd from the Campaign for Better Transport said he agreed that throwing money at A27 would not solve the problems of how people travel.
He said the authorities needed to look at increasing the use of buses, trains and encourage more people to walk and cycle.
"Overall in West Sussex, traffic levels have fallen on the major roads since 2000 so should we really be investing in big new roads?
"That swallows so much money and all it ever does is shift the problem from one place to another.
"People aren't necessarily wedded to just using cars."
The consultation runs for 10 weeks until 22 September and includes 14 exhibitions in Chichester and the surrounding area. | Plans to improve a bottleneck on the A27 in West Sussex have been dismissed as a "sticking plaster" that will not reduce traffic jams in the long term. | 36791497 |
The 30-year-old Spain international suffered a knee injury in the Gunners' 1-1 draw at Norwich last Sunday.
The club are already without midfield colleague Francis Coquelin for about three months following a knee ligament injury.
However, defender Laurent Koscielny and forward Theo Walcott could return to face Sunderland on Saturday.
Alexis Sanchez is out with a hamstring injury he suffered at Norwich, with Wenger defending his decision to play the Chile international against Norwich last weekend.
Sanchez had suffered a minor hamstring problem against Dinamo Zagreb in their previous game but had said he was fit to play.
Wenger told Arsenal's pre-match press conference on Friday: "Sanchez had four weeks' holiday [after the Copa America]. He was tested in some games, had all the sports science to play.
"No-one suggested he could injure a hamstring or back when he was pushed into a camera [pit]. That shocked everyone.

The title was formerly held by the Amstrad PCW, which is believed to have sold a total of eight million units.
Sales of the Raspberry Pi will go past that figure this month, said the Raspberry Pi project founder Eben Upton.
The milestone comes as the Raspberry Pi 3 is unveiled featuring new updates, including wi-fi and Bluetooth.
"We're calling it," said Mr Upton. "We're the best-selling UK computer ever."
The updated device also has a 64-bit processor onboard that gives the Pi 3 a 50% performance improvement on the Pi 2.

An official from China's National Earthquake Network told the BBC that scientists were "alarmed" at the scale of the explosions. The official confirmed that:
The force of the blast was felt many kilometres away from the warehouse where the explosion took place in the port city and residents registered their horror at the scale of the explosions.
"The impact alone woke me and my sister up last night, we were so scared. We hid under our blankets and were wondering if it was an earthquake or atomic bomb. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the deceased," one Weibo user said.
"I was sleeping when our windows and doors suddenly shook as we heard explosions outside. I first thought it was an earthquake," Reuters news agency quoted one resident Guan Xiang, who lives 7km (four miles) away from the explosion site, told the Reuters news agency.
According to the China Earthquake Administration's official account on Weibo, the first explosion was registered at a magnitude of 2.3 and the second at 2.9.
Even the United States Geological Survey registered the explosions as seismic events. The Guardian newspaper quotes USGS geophysicist John Bellini as saying that it is rare to detect seismological activity from events such as the Tianjin explosion.

The 57-year-old guided the Seagulls to third in his first full season as boss, missing out on automatic promotion to the Premier League on goal difference.
Albion were then beaten by Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 on aggregate in their play-off semi-final tie.
"Chris thoroughly deserves this new contract after such an outstanding season," said chairman Tony Bloom.
"He has done an exceptional job since he took over as manager."
Former Newcastle and Norwich manager Hughton was appointed Brighton boss on 31 December 2014 and helped the Sussex club avoid relegation from the second tier last season.
The Seagulls started the 2015-16 campaign with a club-record 21-match unbeaten run and finished the season on 89 points - the club's highest points total in the second tier.
Brighton's third-placed finish - their highest in the league since the club were relegated from the top flight in 1982-83 - prompted Hughton to be named Championship manager of the year by the League Managers' Association on Monday.
"He has instigated an outstanding turnaround in our fortunes on the pitch," added Bloom. "There is no doubt he is one of the best and most skilful managers in the country.

The BBC is required by electoral law to adopt a code of practice, ensuring fairness between candidates and that is particularly important on polling day.
The code of practice is contained in more detailed election guidelines which are written and published for each election - and they include guidance on polling day, here.
On polling day specifically, the BBC doesn't report on any of the election campaigns from 00:30 BST until polls close at 22:00 BST on TV, radio or bbc.co.uk or on social media and other channels.
However, online sites do not have to remove archived reports, including, for instance, programmes on iPlayer.
Coverage on the day is usually restricted to uncontroversial factual accounts, such as the appearance of politicians at polling stations, or the weather.
It tends to focus on giving information which will help voters with the process of going to polling stations.
Subjects which have been at issue or part of the campaign - or other controversial matters relating to the election - must not be covered on polling day itself; it's important that the BBC's output cannot be seen to be influencing the ballot while the polls are open.
No opinion poll on any issue relating to politics or the election can be published until after the polls have closed.
Whilst the polls are open, it is a criminal offence to publish anything about the way in which people have voted in that election.
From 22:00 BST normal reporting of the general election resumes, with rolling online BBC coverage overnight, Election 2017 on BBC One with David Dimbleby, Vote 2017 with Carolyn Quinn and James Naughtie on BBC Radio 4 and an election night special on Radio 5live broadcast from London and Salford. | The BBC, like other broadcasters, isn't allowed to report details of campaigning while the polls are open. | 40192490 |
They have renewed their appeal for information about Thomas Clark.
He was seen on CCTV leaving Hairmyres Hospital at about 10:45. Officers now understand he got on the 201 First Bus at Whitemoss Avenue at about 11:30. The bus was travelling towards Airdrie.
Anyone with information has been urged to contact police.
It is thought Mr Clark returned to his home in Kirkton Park in the town after leaving the hospital.
Mr Clark is about 5ft 6in, of slim build with white hair.
When he was last seen he was wearing a long brown puffer jacket and brown leather shoes.
He also wore a checked grey jumper with blue and green diamonds on the front, a black beanie hat and grey padded gloves with leather palms.
Sgt Nicola Hope from Police Scotland said: "Our enquiries have determined that Mr Clark did board the 201 First Bus travelling in the direction of Airdrie.
"We would ask anyone who was on that bus on Thursday at around 11:30 to think back.
"You may have seen Thomas Clark, or witnessed the stop that he got off the bus.

The Austin race was in doubt because of a 20% cut in Texas state funding but has now been confirmed for 2016.
Circuit of the Americas chairman Bobby Epstein said signing up Swift was crucial to keeping the race on the calendar for a fifth year.
"How do we expand our audience? That's what this headliner does," he said.
Swift, a 10-time Grammy award winner whose fifth album 1989 sold almost 1.3m copies in its debut week last year, will be the headline act after qualifying on Saturday, 22 October.
"In the past, we have chosen headliners that are a great match with our existing demographic," added Epstein.
"But I don't need our existing demographic alone. We need the future.
"We think we will sell every ticket that we have got and it is because of the combination of both Formula 1 and Taylor Swift."
Bad weather hit the race's revenues significantly last season.
Saturday's final practice was held behind closed doors due to flooding and, when fans were admitted, qualifying was postponed until Sunday.
But Epstein is confident last year's weather was a freak event.
"They say it was a once in 2,500 year event," he said. "So we've got a few years of good weather ahead. We've got 2,499 years to go." | United States Grand Prix organisers have turned to singer Taylor Swift in an attempt to attract new fans and sell out the October race. | 35768573 |

Podemos was launched nearly two years ago, based on mass anti-austerity protests. It came third, with 69 seats.
Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias rebuffed the PP leader and acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, as did the Socialist (PSOE) leader Pedro Sanchez last week.
New elections might have to be held.
The PP came top with 123 seats in the 350-seat lower house of parliament - far short of a majority. In second place was the PSOE with 90, and the new liberal Ciudadanos (Citizens) party was fourth with 40.
Speaking after talks with Mr Rajoy, Mr Iglesias his priority was "social emergency" legislation to help families threatened with eviction and other socially vulnerable groups, such as poor pensioners.
He refused to support Mr Rajoy "whether actively or passively" - ruling out a coalition partnership or abstention in a confidence vote.
Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera also told Mr Rajoy he would not back him. But Ciudadanos would abstain in the confidence vote if Mr Rajoy managed to put together a coalition, he said.
The PSOE says it will only consider a leftist coalition with Podemos if the latter drops its support for an independence referendum in Catalonia.
Many Catalans want such a referendum, but Podemos is the only one of Spain's major parties to back the idea.
Mr Sanchez called on Podemos to "renounce any position that implies the rupture of co-existence between Spaniards".

Last week, it was revealed that Fifa paid the FAI 5m euros (£3.6m) after France controversially beat Ireland in a World Cup play-off.
FAI boss John Delaney said a deal was made to drop a claim against Fifa.
TDs are due to decide on Wednesday whether to call Mr Delaney to answer questions before the committee.
Mr Delaney sent his letter to members of the transport and communications committee.
The FAI believed it had a case against Fifa after French striker Thierry Henry's handball in the build-up to a decisive goal in the 2009 match in Paris which caused Ireland to miss the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The payment from Fifa to the IFA was agreed in 2010.

City are third in the table, six points behind leaders Leicester after Monday's 2-1 defeat at Arsenal.
Captain Vincent Kompany, 29, is set to return after eight matches out. Striker Sergio Aguero has missed 11 games.
"We are in all the competitions and we did that without a lot of important players," said Pellegrini.
"But, of course, with all the players fit and playing every game, we are the strongest team."
Defender Pablo Zabaleta and midfielder Fernando are also back in the frame after injuries, but Kompany's absence has been the most notable.
City have had seven clean sheets in the eight Premier League games featuring the Belgium centre-half and kept just one in the nine matches without him.
"It seems that we have a crisis but we don't have a crisis," said Pellegrini, whose side are at home to second-from-bottom Sunderland on Saturday.
"Vincent is the captain of the team - you cannot be the captain of an important team if you are not an important player.
"We need Vincent, but this team doesn't depend on one player.

The attorneys and researchers say he is receiving payments from foreign governments via guests at his hotels and leases on his buildings.
They argue that a clause in the constitution bans such payments.
Mr Trump described the lawsuit as "totally without merit".
His son, Eric Trump, who is an executive vice-president of the Trump Organization, said the company had taken greater steps than the law required to avoid legal exposure, the New York Times reported.
He said it had agreed to donate any hotel profits that come from foreign government guests to the US treasury.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (Crew) filed the lawsuit in a Manhattan federal court on Monday morning.
"We did not want to get to this point," Crew executive director Noah Bookbinder said in a statement.
"It was our hope that President Trump would take the necessary steps to avoid violating the Constitution before he took office. We were forced to take legal action."
The US constitution says no federal official should receive a gift or "emolument" - a fee - from a foreign government.
"President Trump has made his slogan America First so you would think he would want to strictly follow the constitution's foreign emoluments clause, since it was written to ensure our government officials are thinking of Americans first, and not foreign governments," Mr Bookbinder said.
Mr Trump's lawyers argue that the clause is intended only to stop federal officials from accepting a special consideration or gift from a foreign power and does not apply to payments such as a bill for a hotel room. | A group of US ethics lawyers have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump, alleging he is violating a constitutional ban on accepting payments from foreign governments. | 38714446 |

Leeds United head coach Steve Evans:
"I thought the second half was quite stunning. This is a Wolves team that are very well organised under a top manager. They don't concede chances let alone goals, yet if we'd scored seven in the second half it might have been deserved.

There is clearly something there, and if it doesn't happen in this transfer window the speculation is not going to go away in the next window.
Fifa World Player of the Year is an absolute obsession in Brazil. Between 1994 and 2007, five Brazilians won it on eight different occasions.
That set the bar for the subsequent generations. Neymar had seen the degree of difficulty in European club football was going to be strong. So that was the idea of going to Barcelona and being in Messi's shadow - great, pressure off.
But after a while, that shadow stops being refreshing and starts being cold, because you can't be Fifa World Player of the Year if you're not even the outstanding player in your own team.
I think it's absolutely no coincidence that this speculation has emerged shortly after the news that Messi has signed a new contract with Barcelona. | Neymar will not be leaving Barcelona despite reports that Paris St-Germain have triggered his £195m release clause, club president Josep Maria Bartomeu has told BBC Sport. | 40652803 |
Middlewich station closed 55 years ago, leaving the Sandbach to Northwich line as freight only.
Campaigners claim reopening the passenger service would "link communities in Cheshire back together".
Cheshire East Council will begin consulting on which area to allocate a new station. Network Rail said a "solid business case" was needed.
Middlewich railway station closed to passengers in 1960 and was subsequently demolished.
The 8.5 mile (16.7 km) line remained open for freight services.
In 1999, a council-backed feasibility study estimated 750 passengers per day would use the route and claimed the cost of reopening it could range from £970,000 to £2.2m.
Samantha Moss, from the Middlewich Rail Link Campaign, said: "Our train line is there, it's a viable train line.
"If people all over Cheshire got to use it, the benefits it would see to the education of our children and the economic community would be huge."
Cheshire East Council said it "supports the aspiration" of reopening the line but warned "as the line is a freight line, a new station is not straight forward".
The Department for Transport said: "We are aware of the aspirations to open up the Middlewich freight line to regular passenger services and build a station at Middlewich.
"We would look to local authorities in Cheshire and the rail industry to judge whether there is a business case for reopening the route."
The council is launching the consultation as part of its future Local Plan so the area can be protected from planning applications for other developments. | Land for a new railway station in Cheshire is being earmarked by a council following a campaign. | 34537991 |
The World War Two Mustang "Miss Velma" was taking part in the Flying Legends show at Duxford when it ran into difficulties on Sunday afternoon.
Cambridgeshire Police closed part of the M11 at Duxford while it dealt with the incident.
The pilot managed to land the aircraft upright in the field and was unharmed.

The incident happened towards the end of the show at about 17:30 BST, as the restored P51d Mustang was coming in to land.
Witnesses reported seeing the plane suddenly change course to the right, which was followed by a loud bang.
In a statement, a spokesman for IWM Duxford said the pilot was safe and no members of the public were harmed.
Paul Tolliday, an aerial photographer, captured the Mustang in flight during the show, and later after it landed in the field.
He said: "All we heard was a very solid bang, and my son just shouted 'he has crashed'.
"There was a huge dust cloud and looking through my camera I could see the pilot had got out.
"It was very scary."

Edmund Echukwu, 35, entered the pool at a private property in Radlett, Hertfordshire, with a woman before he got into difficulties.
The inquest heard how he went under the water and did not come up again. It emerged later that he could not swim.
County coroner Geoffrey Sullivan concluded his death was accidental.
The inquest in Hatfield heard how Mr Echukwu, who was born in Nigeria and lived in Edgware, Middlesex, attended the party at the £3m house in Theobald Street on 27 March 2015.
The woman with whom he was dancing was referred to only as Rachael at the hearing.
Giving evidence, she said: "I said 'I am going to the pool, do you want to come with me?'"
The pair entered the pool and gradually got closer to the deep end, the inquest heard.
She said: "He was by my side and this part of the pool is very deep. I couldn't touch the bottom. He just grabbed my neck and pulled me under the water. I had to push him away because I feared he would drown me and pull me under."
She said she wriggled free and swam to the side of the pool. When she looked back, she said his head and body were submerged.
Mr Echukwu, a father-of-three, was pulled from the water and attempts were made by party-goers and emergency services to resuscitate him. He was taken to Watford General Hospital where he died on 28 March 2015.

Lots of sparklers and fireworks were set off to celebrate the Hindu festival but the smoke caused heavy smog.
Air pollution is now around 30 times higher than the World Health Organisation's recommended level.
On Monday morning, visibility across the city was very low and people there were advised to stay indoors.
Delhi is home to 16 million people and is the 11th most polluted city in the world, according to a report released by the WHO.

Three people were convicted of child abuse which took place at the homes in the 1970s and 80s.
Abuse survivors believe there are other offenders who were never prosecuted.
They have compiled testimony which will be handed to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse.
Fifty-two houses on the 70-acre Shirley Oaks site, near Croydon, looked after children in care between the ages of eight and 14 from the 1950s to 80s.
The Shirley Oaks Survivors' Association launched a campaign video on Wednesday featuring accounts of adults who were brought up there.
Former resident Raymond Stevenson said the video "will enable victims to tell their story through a medium that cannot be tampered with or edited".
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, chaired by Justice Lowell Goddard, announced in November that child abuse in Lambeth children's homes, including Shirley Oaks, will be among the first investigations it will carry out.
But Labour MP Chuka Umunna, a member of the Home Affairs Committee whose constituency is home to several survivors, called for the government to allocate specific funding for the police to investigate child abuse and for councils to be given money to pay compensation to victims.
Mr Umunna said he was concerned the inquiry could generate up to 30,000 cases, putting pressure on police resources.
Former residents said they were preyed upon, sexually abused and tortured for decades, some committing suicide.
They have called Shirley Oaks the "largest children's home in the world, with the largest paedophile ring".
There have been long-running accusations of a cover-up and survivors recently called for an investigation into a boy's death in 1977 to be reopened. | Campaigners on behalf of victims of child sexual abuse at the Shirley Oaks children's homes in south London have said they received allegations that 32 paedophiles were involved. | 35058827 |
The double world champion had already been banned for doping by the IAAF, athletics' governing body, in April.
The 33-year old previously tested positive in 2007 and served a two-year ban that saw her miss the 2007 World Championships and 2008 Olympic Games.
Lysenko, who now competes under her married name Beloborodova, faces a lifetime suspension from the sport.
"Re-analysis resulted in a positive test for the prohibited substance turinabol," a statement from the International Olympic Committee said.

The 23-year-old had a host of clubs chasing his signature five years ago.
"I had a choice of a few," Hardaker said. "Warrington wanted to sign me, Wigan had words about me, Hull FC and then Leeds came in for me.
"They (Leeds) were one of the last clubs to come in, but once I heard they wanted me, I jumped at the chance."
Hardaker is aiming to help Leeds to the Grand Slam this weekend as the Rhinos face Wigan in the Grand Final at Old Trafford.
Leeds secured the League Leaders' Shield last month having already thumped Hull KR 50-0 to win the Challenge Cup in August.
The full-back said he could not believe the interest the bigger clubs showed after Featherstone agreed he could take the step up from part-time rugby.
He added: "My agent had a little chat with Wigan. The teams that came in for me at the time I just thought 'wow, why are they interested in a lad from Fev?'
"Fev played a massive part. The relationship between (chairman) Mark Campbell and (Leeds chief executive) Gary Hetherington was special and they wanted my career to kick on and not for me to disappear.
"They knew I had something special to offer. They both talked about it and, looking back, when I thought Leeds was the right choice, doing the things I've done has proved that decision to be right." | The 2015 Super League Man of Steel Zak Hardaker has revealed he nearly slipped through Leeds Rhinos' hands, before signing from Featherstone in 2010. | 34455673 |
Court papers reveal that Peter Romar offered to aid the SEA after it carried out hack attacks on US firms and organisations.
He helped run a campaign of extortion, seeking cash from firms for the return of stolen documents.
Mr Romar faces a maximum penalty of five years in jail.
"Cybercriminals cannot hide from justice," said Dana Boente, US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia where Romar appeared in court.
Romar is believed to have played his part in the SEA extortion and hacking campaign from Germany where he had emigrated after leaving Syria. His location helped funnel extorted cash to the SEA, which could not receive money directly from victims because of financial sanctions imposed on Syria because of the continuing conflict.
Not all of the money taken was passed on to the SEA, said the FBI in a statement adding that the conspirators also used it to enrich themselves.
The campaign of extortion lasted about six months before German police arrested Romar in mid-2014. He was extradited to the US soon afterwards.
Firas Dardar, the SEA insider with whom Romar worked, remains at large and is believed to currently live in the Syrian city of Homs. He, and another SEA hacker Amad Umar Agha, were put on the FBI's most wanted cybercriminals list in early 2016. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 (£77,100) for information about their whereabouts.
The SEA said it was acting in support of President Bashar al-Assad saying it sought to counter "fabricated news" broadcast by Arab and Western media.

Viktor Krasnov was reported to police by two young men who objected to his language in the dispute, on the Russian social network VKontakte in 2014.
He was charged in Stavropol for having "insulted the feelings of worshippers".
Such "insults" were outlawed in 2013 after the Pussy Riot case, in which two punk performers were jailed.
There was international condemnation in 2012 when Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina of Pussy Riot were sent to labour camps for having performed a crude protest song in Moscow's main cathedral.
VKontakte is a Facebook-style networking site popular among Russians. In the exchange Mr Krasnov also dismissed the Bible as a "collection of Jewish fairy tales".
Linguistic experts supported the plaintiffs' allegation that Mr Krasnov's remarks were "insulting to worshippers".
The relevant Russian law provides several alternatives to a one-year prison term in such cases, including a fine of up to 300,000 roubles (£2,900; $4,083) or up to 240 hours' forced labour. | A man on trial in southern Russia faces a possible one-year prison sentence for having written "there is no God" during an internet exchange. | 35715325 |

John Young completes the backroom team as assistant coach, Steven Hislop having left as assistant manager with Lumsden.

The man from Croydon, south London, was arrested in the early hours after he was seen by officers who were monitoring CCTV cameras.
He was arrested at 04:15 BST within a security perimeter. He did not gain access to the palace.
The Met said the suspected intruder had been drinking and that the incident was not thought to be terrorism related.
The force added the man was not armed and no Taser was deployed by officers.
He is currently being held in a central London police station.
No member of the royal family was in residence.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson declined to comment.
There have been several breaches at the Palace, including in May when a 41-year-old man was arrested in the grounds after an alarm went off.
Last year two men got on to the roof of the Queen's Gallery, close to the palace, as part of a protest over fathers' rights while in 2013, a man scaled a fence and was arrested inside a room which was open to the public during the day.
A more notable breach was in 1982 when Michael Fagan got into the Queen's bedroom and spent 10 minutes talking to her before she managed to raise the alarm when he asked for a cigarette. | A 22-year-old man has been arrested after he climbed over a security fence at Buckingham Palace, police have said. | 37024767 |

Korean, Japanese and European shipping companies that carry vehicles were found to have coordinated bids and routes in order to keep prices high.
The fines are equivalent to 4% to 9% of the firm's international shipping sales to and from China, the regulator said.
Authorities have been penalising firms under China's 2008 anti-monopoly law.
Several sectors have been affected by the crackdown including automakers, dairy and technology suppliers in an attempt to keep prices down for Chinese consumers.
In February, US chipmaker Qualcomm was fined $975m on charges that it abused its dominance in wireless technology to charge high licensing fees.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said executives from the firms met over a period of four years to share information and create deals to avoid competition on routes linking China with Europe, North America and Latin America.
The companies fined include Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha and Eastern Car Liner, South Korea's Eukor Car Carriers, Norway's Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, and Chile's Cia. Sud Americana de Vapores.
Japan's Nippon Yusen was exempted from paying penalties, because the firm said it cooperated with investigators.
The biggest fine of $45m went to Eurkor and the company responded by saying they were glad to see the investigation had come to an end.
"We will do everything possible to avoid similar situations going forward," it said in a statement on its website. | Chinese regulators have fined seven major international shipping companies 407m yuan ($65m; £42m) for fixing prices after a year-long investigation. | 35188120 |
Livingston and Brechin City also preserved their 100% records in the division with wins over Airdrieonians and Albion Rovers, respectively.
East Fife remain unbeaten in the league after a comfortable 3-0 away victory against Peterhead.
And Queen's Park got their first win, 2-1 away to Stenhousemuir.
Though Alloa would go on to win comfortably, it was Stranraer who took the lead through Craig Malcolm.
Doubles by Greig Spence and Jordan Kirkpatrick and an Iain Flannigan goal before half-time put the Wasps firmly in charge with Malcolm's second of the game after the break proving only to be consolation for the hosts.
In Airdrie, Danny Mullen put Livi ahead and Liam Buchanan got their second. The Diamonds' Andy Ryan netted either side of team-mate Daniel Boateng's own goal and Josh Mullin completed the scoring for the visitors at 4-2.
Alan Trouten's first-half penalty and Andy Jackson's effort shortly after the break gave Brechin a 2-0 away win against Albion Rovers.
East Fife moved on to four points with their first league win of the season - Jason Kerr, Kevin Smith and Mark Lamont netting without reply for the Fifers against Peterhead.

Dan Draghici attacked Elena Draghici, 31, during an argument at the house they shared in Smethwick, in the West Midlands, police said.
Mrs Draghici fled and hailed a passing taxi after her sister intervened.
Her husband, who had denied attempted murder, was found in his car having stabbed himself in the leg. He was jailed at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
Draghici, who admitted a charge of assault by beating, was jailed at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Wednesday.
Police said 42-year-old Draghici, of Fenton Road, attacked his wife while their daughter was upstairs with his sister-in-law in March.
"After hearing the screams her sister came downstairs and jumped on Draghici's back, managing to pull him off Elena who then managed to escape," a West Midlands Police spokesman said.
Det Insp Jason McMahon, said: "This has been a truly horrific time for Elena and her family, who are trying to come to terms with what has happened to them.
"Elena sustained serious injuries during the assault which she is still recovering from, I hope that the sentence will be of some comfort to them and help them rebuild their lives." | A man has been jailed for 20 years for trying to kill his wife in a "horrific" knife attack at their family home. | 37299336 |
The battle in 1461 during the Wars of the Roses is reputed to have been the largest and bloodiest fought in England, said Historic England.
The Battle of Towton saw up to 28,000 soldiers killed on a single day.
A larger area around Towton and Saxton, in North Yorkshire, will now be in the Historic England registered battlefield.
Live updates and more stories from Yorkshire
Historic England's register identifies 46 important English battlefields to give protection through the planning system and a better understanding of their significance.
The battlefield lies broadly across a plateau defined by the lower ground of the River Wharfe valley to the east, thought to have been woodlands in the 15th Century, and the Cock Beck to the west.
In 1996 a mass grave of more than 40 bodies killed in the battle was discovered at Towton Hall, which is now within the new protected area.
The Battle of Towton, which was fought on 29 March 1461, saw the Lancastrian forces of Henry VI defeated by those of Edward of York who became King Edward IV.
He died in 1483 and his brother Richard III took the throne.
The site of the fighting, near Tadcaster and nine miles (14km) from York, was included on the Historic England Battlefields Register because:
The move for a larger area to be registered comes after campaigning by local history groups.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said Milner had injured his heel, with the Reds' Premier League campaign starting away at Arsenal on Sunday, 14 August.
"It is not too good," said Klopp. "He will have a scan and then we will know more."

More than 300 people lost their jobs when the Vaux Brewery closed in 1999 after 162 years.
Several proposals for the five-acre site failed to win planning permission.
But a £20m bid to build homes, an office and retail block and leisure complex was approved by Sunderland City Council planners in April.
Paul Watson, leader of Sunderland City Council, said: "This is a momentous day for Sunderland as work begins on this major redevelopment, on a prime site which has stood idle for far too long.

The 21-year-old won SM8 200m individual medley gold, 400m freestyle silver and 100m backstroke bronze at London 2012.
Hynd clinched three golds at the IPC Swimming European Championships earlier this month and twice topped the podium at the World Championships last year.
"It's frustrating to have been so close to a world record twice and it's a prize dangling there for Rio," he said.
"A lifetime best performance is the big target. If you go on to the biggest stage and deliver that then you can't complain, whatever medals come."
Kirkby-in-Ashfield swimmer Hynd qualified for Brazil after impressive performances at the British Para-Swimming International Meet in Glasgow last month, which doubled as the Paralympic trials.
The Nova Centurion athlete will be joined by a host of other medal winners from London, including Ellie Simmonds, Sascha Kindred, James Crisp and Charlotte Henshaw.
He added: "With a big training block coming up, if I'm swimming this fast now, it's quite exciting to think what I can do in a couple of months time."

The 23-year old striker, who missed the entire 2015 season, has signed from Orebro on a three-year deal.
Kamara returned to action in the 2016 season, making nine league appearances for Orebro and scoring one goal.
"I'm delighted to join Hacken. It's a big opportunity for me to start another chapter in my career," Kamara said.
Hacken sporting director Sonny Karlsson told the Gothenburg-based club's website: "We have got a really good centre-forward who is strong, fast and a good finisher.
"We think he will fit in perfectly with our game."
Kamara, who is also known by his nickname 'Crespo', could make his debut for Hacken in Sunday's league match against Helsingborg.
He will be eager to recapture his form of 2014, when he was scored 14 goals in 19 matches in the Swedish league Allsvenskan to finish among the top scorers.

Paul Clarke, from Middlesbrough, was in a restaurant with his wife and two children when the trio burst in on Saturday night.
Mr Clarke said one of the knife-wielding attackers looked directly at him before carrying out the attack.
He said the "horrible" images were still "playing around in his head".
Mr Clarke, his wife Wendy and 14-year-old son Miles were meeting their daughter and her fiancé in the Black and Blue Steakhouse in Borough Market, London.
The family escaped injury but were near the spot where police shot and killed the three suspects.
Mr Clarke said one of the attackers pinned a member of the restaurant staff to the ground.
"He stood there and looked at me. He had a long weapon in his hand and had a guy on the floor who was in his kitchen whites," he added.

There was an 89% increase in traffic jams during the morning rush hour, the daily newspaper El Pais reported.
Thousands of commuters got stuck on the capital's approach roads. There were also jams in Barcelona and Zaragoza.
Cars were diverted away from city centres. But one Madrid official blamed car accidents for the traffic queues.
The car-free day ("dia sin coches" in Spanish) initiative was part of "European Mobility Week", an annual campaign by the EU to promote clean, safe and sustainable transport in cities.
In Barcelona the authorities reported 90,000 fewer cars on the streets - a 4.3% decrease compared with normal working days.
In central Madrid, hundreds of school students went on a bike ride through traffic-free city streets.
Greenpeace environmental activists painted symbols of pedestrians, bikes, buses and electric cars on a main road - Bravo Murillo.
But on Twitter there were protests from drivers about the morning traffic jams in Madrid. The hashtag #DiaSinCoches was trending in Spain.
Alona Fdez Larrechi tweeted that "on the A1 they must have understood the #DiaSinCoches back-to-front, because the jam today is considerably bigger than the jam on other days".
Alberto Roldan tweeted that "we don't deserve such mediocre politicians". He called the "car-free day" a "day of stupidity".

Shrek came to prominence in 2004 after evading capture for six years by hiding in caves on the South Island.
The cunning Merino lost his giant 27kg (60lb) fleece in a televised shearing.
The 16-year-old sheep had a high-profile career. He met then Prime Minister Helen Clark, became the subject of several children's books and made regular charity appearances.
Shrek's owner, John Perriam, of Bendigo Hill station, said the famous sheep had to be put down over the weekend because of age-related illnesses.
"He was just an ordinary sheep, went Awol and hid, and when he was found he became the darling of the nation," Mr Perriam told local broadcaster TVNZ.
"He had an unbelievable personality. He loved children and he was really good with the elderly in retirement homes."
Shrek's giant fleece - enough to make 20 large men's suits - was auctioned off in 2004 for children's medical charities.
Josie Spillane of Cure Kids said over the years Shrek had raised more than $150,000 (£75,000) for the charity, which funded research into life-threatening illnesses.
"At the end of the day, it is the death of an iconic Kiwi. He just happens to be a sheep," she told the Southland Times.
Local reports said a memorial service would be held for Shrek at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Tekapo, and that his owner planned to place a bronze statue of the sheep in the local town.

Wednesday's event was held in the state capital, Raipur, and was attended by Chief Minister Raman Singh and the federal Health Minister JP Nadda.
After the reptilian discovery, all the water bottles distributed at the function were recalled.

The plaque will read: "Dolly the Sheep, 1996-2003. First mammal to be cloned from an adult cell."
Organised by the Society of Biology, Dolly's plaque is one of ten to be put up around the UK during February and March "celebrating the eminent and sometimes unsung heroes of biology".
There are hundreds of blue plaques around the country.
Notable names to receive the honour include the actor Charlie Chaplin, the writer Agatha Christie and the creator of the Tube map, Harry Beck.
Dolly is not the first animal to receive a blue plaque. Nipper the HMV dog has one in Bristol.
The unveiling of Dolly's plaque, which will be installed at the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh, will take place on Wednesday 25 February.
Sir Ian Wilmut, who was the lead researcher on the Dolly project, will be making a short speech.
Scientists aimed to let Dolly live as normal a life as possible and she was allowed to breed, giving birth to six lambs.
In 2001 she was shown to have arthritis. She died in 2003 having also developed lung disease.
Sheep of her breed, Finn Dorset, usually have an average life expectancy of 11 to 12 years.

The passenger was pronounced dead at the scene following the incident at about 03:30 BST on Monday.
It happened on Bryn Terrace, Aberdare, and the 25-year-old driver of the red LDV Maxus van, from Aberdare, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Those injured were taken to hospitals in Llantrisant and Merthyr Tydfil.

One of the latest drone prototypes on show looks a bit like a helicopter and allows a passenger to sit inside.
It's controlled by a tablet and the passenger can choose their destination on it.
The drone, which has 8 propellers, takes between 2-4 hours to charge and would last for around 23 minutes flying time.
This drone is said to be one of the safest drones on show at the exhibition, because the propellers aren't exposed.
Instead, they are encased in plastic, meaning owners can actually take hold of the drone.
It can even be switched off by turning it on its side. | Tech companies have been unveiling their newest gadgets at a massive tech show called CES in Las Vegas, America. | 35260214 |
Five parks have already been closed and the public will also be barred from the Champ de Mars, by the Eiffel Tower. Officials say rat numbers have grown because of abundant litter.
But Paris is not threatened by plague.
The "coup de poing" (punch) campaign involves setting new rat traps - said to be environment-friendly - and urging the public not to feed pigeons or rats.
Rat traps are being set in some Paris squares - including Cambronne and Garibaldi in the 15th district - and the Saint-Jacques Tower, a famous monument on the upmarket Rue de Rivoli, has also been closed.
A blog called Vivre le Marais, for residents of the Fourth district where the tower stands, complains about the rat problem.
"Yesterday evening at around 18:00 we counted roughly 200 of them, just by the railings on the Rue de Rivoli, and massing in the garden of the Saint-Jacques Tower," the blog said.
Litter bins are also being redesigned to prevent rats from crawling in.
The Fourth district council says the anti-rat operation is a joint effort by the authorities responsible for road-cleaning, parks and sewers.
In 2014, startling video and photos showing rats at a picnic spot by the Louvre Museum in Paris got wide media coverage.

Norfolk Police were called to the Thickthorn roundabout on the A11 near Norwich on Monday after reports the 30-tonne truck was missing.
Two police cars were written-off and a third damaged in the £50,000 wrecking spree that followed.
A 39-year-old man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and dangerous driving has been bailed.
He was also accused of taking a vehicle without consent, failing to stop for police and driving under the influence of drugs.

Wright beat Daryl Gurney 11-5 to seal his place in his third straight UK Open final after losing in 2015 and 2016.
The 46-year-old Scotsman finished on the bull in an 85 checkout to beat Price and take the £70,000 prize money.
Despite Price throwing four 180s and the highest checkout (117), Wright won the final three legs to seal victory.

"The fans have given me fantastic support, not just this year but also for the last two years," said Suffolk-based Wright.
"I don't want to put a downer on it, we had no Michael van Gerwen here and no Phil Taylor, but I still had the pressure of being favourite when you had Gary Anderson, Adrian Lewis and all the other fantastic players in the tournament.
"It was a lot of pressure and I was happy just to get to the final, three years on the trot in one of the hardest tournaments. To win it is brilliant."
Former Cross Keys hooker Price reached his first major televised PDC final since leaving his career as a professional rugby player in 2014 and pulled from 8-3 down to 8-6 to put the pressure on Wright before the final interval.
The colourful Scot's victory was the first time that a player has won their first major PDC televised tournament since Michael van Gerwen clinched the 2012 World Grand Prix.

Members of the EIS Further Education Lecturers' Association want to see more action taken to end differences in pay between colleges.
The union said lecturers had waited with "great patience" for colleges to honour a deal agreed a year ago.
Colleges Scotland said the action was "hugely disappointing" at a "critical time" for students.
The union has threatened to strike three days every week if the dispute is not settled.
Further proposed strike dates are:
EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said: "Lecturers have shown great patience in waiting for colleges to honour the deal that was agreed last year.
"However, after more than a year of waiting and watching college managers talk down the agreement that they freely signed up to, Scotland's FE lecturers have simply had enough.
"All that lecturers are asking is for the deal that was agreed by both sides to be honoured."
Mr Flanagan also accused college management of attempting to "rewrite history" and "airbrush" a binding agreement.
Colleges Scotland Employers' Association said it was doing what it could to minimise disruption to students currently preparing for exams and submitting coursework.
A spokeswoman said: "The strike is completely unnecessary and inappropriate at a time when we are currently engaged in Acas talks with the EIS to try and resolve this dispute.
"Harmonisation of pay and conditions is a complex process that requires compromise, not strikes and disruption.
"We are, however, pleased that the EIS now recognises the agreement reached in March 2016 is a 'deal on pay and conditions', because that is the simple reality."
The organisation added that it had already agreed to an average pay rise of 9% over the next two years. | Scottish college lecturers have gone on strike in a dispute over pay and conditions. | 39717733 |
Hundreds of gay rights activists picketed outside his meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in Amsterdam.
Earlier, three topless members of Ukrainian women's group Femen briefly interrupted his visit to a German trade fair with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Mr Putin joked about the incident, saying he "liked this performance".
The female activists had bared their torsos, covered in anti-Putin slogans, and shouted "Putin dictator", while he was touring the business fair with Ms Merkel in the German city of Hanover on Thursday morning.
Femen have staged several protests around Europe against Russia's detention of feminist punk band Pussy Riot.
"We knew it was coming," Mr Putin quipped at a press conference with Mrs Merkel. "You should thank the Ukrainian girls for helping you promote the fair."
After his short stay in Germany, the president then flew to Amsterdam where he faced further protests, this time from gay rights activists accusing Russia of discriminating against homosexuals.
In particular, demonstrators were angry about a new Russian bill aimed at outlawing "gay propaganda".
If passed, it would mean that across Russia events promoting gay rights would be banned and the organisers fined.
Protesters booed and whistled at Mr Putin's arrival at the Hermitage Museum, while human rights group Amnesty International had put up fake police tape proclaiming the area a "human rights-free zone".
Meanwhile houses and bridges in Amsterdam's historic canal district were draped with banners and the rainbow flag of the gay movement.
But the Russian leader remained unfazed by the demonstrations.
"Thank god, the gays didn't strip naked here," he joked at a press conference in Amsterdam.
Mr Putin also deflected criticism over Russia's treatment of gay rights, saying: "They're people, just like everyone else, and they enjoy full rights and freedoms." | Russian President Vladimir Putin has been greeted by protests in Germany and the Netherlands as he met the leaders of both nations for trade talks. | 22072994 |

They also uncovered cocaine disguised as charcoal as part of the same shipment from Colombia to Valencia.
The authorities have arrested at least 11 people in Spain, Britain and Dubai.
Spanish customs officials say in recent years they have found cocaine in breast implants, a wig and even a plaster cast encasing a man's broken leg.
Police suspect that smugglers used a charcoal company in Spain as a front to import the cocaine.
The drugs were then extracted from pallets and charcoal, processed and distributed around Europe.
Spain is seen as the main entry point in Europe for drug smugglers from South America.
The UK National Crime Agency said 11 people had been arrested: six men from Liverpool held in the UK and Dubai, and another five - two Colombians, two Peruvians and a Spaniard - in the Spanish region of Valencia.

The Galloway Dee was one of a series of paintings of the region by Charles Oppenheimer while he lived in Kirkcudbright.
It became symbolic of south-west Scotland when it featured in the cult advertisements during the 1950s.
Now the original watercolour has been donated to Kirkcudbright's Stewartry Museum.
The donation follows the purchase of an authentic Galloway Dee British Rail poster by the museum several years ago.
Both works will be displayed side-by-side in Kirkcudbright later this year.
Anne Ramsbottom, Dumfries and Galloway Council's museum curator for the west, said they are important additions to the museum's collection.
"Charles Oppenheimer painted some beautiful landscapes, of which we have a few, but he was also part of the British Rail campaign where he painted landscapes of certain areas British Rail wanted to publicise and they turned them into posters," she added.
"The Galloway Dee is a very significant piece because it's a good example of his work.
"It's also that link between the artistic element and the commercial element that all professional artists have to show. He produced this work especially for British Rail posters yet it's a standalone piece of work in itself.
"It's a lovely piece to have."
Charles Oppenheimer was born in 1875 and he lived in Manchester, before moving to Kirkcudbright in 1908.
He was one of a number of artists who lived in the town, who became known as part of the "Kirkcudbright School" of painters.
The Galloway Dee, which is on display at the Tolbooth Art Centre in Kirkcudbright, is thought to be worth several thousand pounds.
In 2013 an Oppenheimer oil painting sold at auction for £17,500.
