Peter Fury tweeted the news on Friday, and a further announcement is expected after 12:00 BST.
Manchester-born Fury, 27, defeated 40-year-old Ukrainian Klitschko on points in Dusseldorf last November to secure the WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
Victory meant he became Britain's fifth bona fide heavyweight world champion.
Fury was stripped of his IBF belt two weeks after winning it as his rematch with Klitschko meant he would not fight the body's mandatory challenger, Vyacheslav Glazkov.
That title is at stake on Saturday, when British Olympic gold medallist Anthony Joshua fights defending champion Charles Martin at the O2 Arena in London.
Fury's fight with Klitschko will take place on the same weekend as the Wimbledon singles finals, the British Grand Prix and the Euro 2016 final. | Tyson Fury's rematch against Wladimir Klitschko will take place in Manchester on 9 July, according to the British fighter's trainer and uncle. | 35995004 |
The US government wants more privacy protections in the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act (Cispa).
After failing to pass through the Senate last year, the bill has already had several amendments.
Intended to protect corporate networks from cyber-attacks, it allows private companies to share cybersecurity information with government agencies.
Opponents say that this is creating a backdoor for governments to snoop on individuals' data, a point taken on board by the government.
A White House statement said: "The administration remains concerned that the bill does not require private entities to take reasonable steps to remove irrelevant personal information when sending cybersecurity data to the government or other private sector entities."
Despite this, the bill has found many friends including large technology firms such as AT&T, Comcast, Intel and Oracle.
This week IBM has sent 200 executives to Washington to lobby for the bill.
In a statement the firm said: "IBM believes we can build stronger, more efficient defences against cyber-threats by enabling better information sharing and providing clear authority for the private sector to defend its own networks, as proposed in the Cybersecurity Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (Cispa)."
But opponents remain concerned the bill allows a wide range of data to be shared with government. Last month a petition with 100,000 signatures was submitted to the White House.
Opposition has been particularly vocal from privacy groups, with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) describing the latest iteration of the bill as "fatally flawed".
The bill's sponsor, Republican Mike Rogers, caused anger on Twitter when he suggested in a speech that the typical opponent of the bill was "a 14-year-old tweeter in the basement". | The White House has threatened to veto a controversial act due to go before the House of Representatives this week. | 22182117 |
It is a repeat of the 2015 final in which Reid and Hewett both won their singles rubbers to lift the trophy for the first time for Britain.

"Getting to the final and winning every match gives us a lot of confidence," said Reid.
"We expect a much tougher challenge tomorrow but we are ready to step up our level and do our best to achieve what we came here for - to win the title." | Great Britain will play top seeds France in Saturday's World Team Cup final after Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett beat Poland 2-0 in Sardinia. | 39826355 |
The 53-year-old died at the junction of Cradley Road and Marriott Road in Netherton, Dudley at about 23:30 GMT on Friday.
Police have released images of a grey Seat Ibiza found crashed into a billboard in a bid to trace the driver.
A man, 19, is being held on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Sgt Paul Hughes, from West Midlands Police, said the dead man was thought to be a pedestrian, but he would "consider every possibility".
He appealed to the driver of the three-door silver grey car and witnesses to come forward.
The car, which was uninsured and unregistered, had large black alloys and a black roof with the registration number LR08 BGE.
Mr Hughes said: "It's vital that anyone who has recently used the car but wasn't involved in the fatal crash to get in touch." | A teenager has been arrested after a car was found abandoned near an injured man who later died at the scene. | 34759829 |
The powerful ball-carrying number eight, 27, who has been capped 13 times by his country, will move from South African Super Rugby side the Bulls.

Chris Neville, head of licensing, said the club had ceased trading. Its Sexual Entertainment Venue (SEV) licence was revoked earlier this month.
"We were really shocked at what was happening on those premises," he added.
Supt Andy Parsons, of West Midlands Police, called for the licence review saying the club was "associated with serious crime".
In the committee's report, he said two men had claimed they were drugged, with one testing positive for methadone with a home testing kit.
The club was being investigated over 17 fraud-related allegations since 2013, police said.
Some customers paid for dances "in a private area" but additional transactions were taking place that they had not authorised, Supt Parsons added.
One victim claimed he had lost as much as £19,417.
Mrs Dring said councillors saw "deeply concerning" CCTV footage in the meeting, which was closed to the public, including of sales of alcohol to "clearly inebriated" patrons.
They heard evidence customers had lost "significant sums of money" through unauthorised transactions, while others were "routinely overcharged" by the venue which turned over £1.6m in one six-month period, she said.
The committee heard one patron was offered sex in exchange for money, contravening the rules of the licence.
Mr Neville said the next step was to see what criminal proceedings would follow and the council would also check other lap dancing clubs in the city were being run appropriately. | A lap dancing club which allegedly drugged customers and took more than £90,000 in credit card overpayments has had its alcohol licence revoked. | 40777799 |
The remains of the girl, believed to be Megan Louise Bills, 17, were found in a double wardrobe which was "wrapped in cling film", Dudley magistrates heard.

The body was found in Highgate Road, Brierley Hill, on Thursday.
Maxine Jarrousse-Jones, prosecuting, said: "The wardrobe was opened and a young female was found inside, deceased, and had been there a considerable amount of time - at least a couple of weeks."
Megan's family said they were "devastated by the loss".
In a statement released by police, Megan's family said: "Whilst nothing can fill the huge gap in our family life that Megan's passing has left, we trust that in time we will have answers that will help us understand why this dreadful event has occurred."

Activists were brought in to campaign from the Conservatives' battle bus, the expenses for which were not declared locally.
Ms Hernandez has always denied any wrongdoing.

Police watchdog the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is to send the case file to the Crown Prosecution Service, the BBC has learnt.
Detectives from West Mercia Police investigated and produced a file for the IPCC.
Andrew White, chief executive for the office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, said: "This referral does not prevent the commissioner from holding the position of PCC.
"If a charge is brought this remains the case - it would not prevent her from remaining in office.

The Blues drew with Swansea and lost to Liverpool in their last two league games before coming back from 2-0 to beat Leicester City 4-2 in the EFL Cup.
"It is normal when you start work in a new team and you bring a new idea and method of football you need time," said the 47-year-old Italian.
"But I'm confident about this and trust in the work. We can improve a lot."
Chelsea face London rivals Arsenal on Saturday at 17:30 BST and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will celebrate 20 years in charge of the Emirates outfit on 1 October.
Conte will be the 12th Chelsea manager Wenger has faced in the Premier League.
"It is fantastic if someone is able to stay for 20 years in the same club," added Conte. "There is satisfaction in both sides.
"Sometimes I think it is important to value a manager not only if he wins, loses or draws.
"Sometimes if you judge only if they win you make a big mistake and you pay for this in the future."
Chelsea, who let in 53 league goals last season, have kept just one clean sheet in seven games this campaign.
"When we concede a goal, all the team concede a goal, not only the defenders," said Conte, who will be without injured centre-back John Terry against Arsenal.
"It means we must work together to improve the defensive situation. This problem was already there last season.
"We must work a lot on this aspect because if you want a great championship you mustn't concede so many goals."

Among those freed is Rasul Jafarov, who was detained in 2014 while compiling a list of political prisoners.
Rights groups welcomed the pardoning, but said that many other leading government critics remained in jail.
The move is seen by some analysts as a concession ahead of Mr Aliyev's visit to the US later this month.
Azerbaijan is often described by international rights groups as one of the most repressive countries in the south Caucasus, an allegation denied by the government.
Among those still in prison are prominent journalist Khadija Ismaylova and human rights lawyer Intigam Aliyev.
Also on Thursday, the appeals court in the capital Baku ordered the release of journalist Rauf Mirkadyrov, changing his six-and-half-year prison term to a five-year suspended sentence.
He spent 23 months in jail in solitary confinement after being convicted of spying for neighbouring Armenia, Azerbaijan's historic enemy.
The news of the release of prominent activists has come as a surprise.
There could be several reasons: Azerbaijan's economy has been hit by falling oil prices and the collapse of the national currency.
Perhaps, the country cannot afford to remain unpopular with the international community. Much of the criticism over its human rights record has come from the West.
It could also be a concession from President Aliyev ahead of his scheduled visit to the US where Congress has been considering sanctioning senior Azeri officials.
But most notably, journalist Khadija Ismaylova is not on the list. Her investigative reporting focused on links between the Aliyev family's fortunes and state assets. | Azerbaijan's President, Ilham Aliyev, has pardoned 148 inmates, including 14 activists seen as political prisoners by human rights groups. | 35835086 |
The 35-year-old, who last week announced her engagement, defeated France's Pauline Parmentier 6-3 6-4.
Williams had been on the sidelines with shoulder and knee problems since the US Open semi-finals in September.
"You always feel rusty for your first match," she said. "But mentally I knew how to get it back and get in there."
Williams had to wait an extra day to make her first appearance of 2017 after rain forced the postponement of her first-round match on Monday.
She took 74 minutes to beat the world number 69, serving eight aces, including one on match point, but also four double-faults in the swirling wind.
"It was so windy out there," she added. "You really have to be ready to move your feet, so I went to what my coach told me and I was like 'you know how to play in the wind, you've done it many times before' so I just tried to adjust to it.''

The 27-year-old will join with a further one-year option when the international transfer window opens next month.
The former Lazio forward scored four goals while on loan for Birmingham in the Premier League in 2008.
He said: "I hope I will bring goals to the squad. I will also bring dribbling skills and other attacking qualities."
Zarate was top scorer in Argentina last season with 20 goals in 35 matches in all competitions.
However, this second stint at Velez Sarsfield followed a controversial four-year spell at Lazio.
In 2010, while serving a two-match suspension at the Biancocelesti for insulting a referee, he was photographed giving a fascist salute amid the 'Ultras' section of fans. Zarate's spokesperson later claimed the player was unaware of the significance of his actions.
In April last year, Zarate was spotted on holiday in the Maldives when he was supposed to be in Argentina receiving medical treatment. At the time, he was not training with Lazio's first team because of disciplinary issues. | West Ham have signed Argentine forward Mauro Zarate on a three-year contract from Velez Sarsfield. | 27613830 |
The prank involves people dressing up as clowns to deliberately scare or intimidate members of the public.
It is thought that the fad began in America and has now spread to the UK.
But police in Northern Ireland have said that encouraging behaviour which deliberately "generates fear" or posting threatening messages can lead to a criminal record.
Clowns have been spotted in Belfast and there are reports that a school in Coleraine closed its doors for a short time on Friday because of fears that people dressed as clowns were on their way.
Police say they have received several reports of posts on social media from individuals who have suggested dressing in clown costumes and going to schools to scare students and teachers.
Ass Chief Const Stephen Martin said: "I would advise anyone who may be considering posting information on social media platforms to consider what they're saying.
"Crime is crime, whether in the virtual world or the real world and there are consequences. Please don't get caught up in something that could jeopardise your future." | Police have issued a warning to anyone considering taking part in the so-called 'killer clown' craze. | 37591036 |
The draft National Park Partnership Plan 2018-2023 aims to widen the park's "social, environmental, cultural and economic benefits".
The 12-week public consultation on the draft plan will run until 3 July.
The plan's three priorities cover conservation and land management, visitor experience and rural development.
This includes attracting and retaining more skilled working age and young people and encouraging people of all abilities and backgrounds to enjoy the outdoors.
The park's new convener, James Stuart, said: "The national park is a truly special place and this plan proposes how we along with a wide range of other organisations, can work together over the next five years to look after, enhance and make the most of it.
"By working collaboratively with all of our partners we can achieve a much greater impact."
Chief executive Gordon Watson said work was already underway in the park to provide young people with opportunities to gain skills and experience to support future employment.
He said: "We want to build on that by working closely with our partners to broaden that range of opportunities, whether it's through training, volunteering, modern apprenticeships and employment so that young people growing up in the national park aren't missing out on the opportunities that those living in more urban areas have access to.
"We are confident that this along with measures to address the lack of affordable housing options and efforts to protect and enhance local services and infrastructure, will ensure a bright future for young people living and working within the national park." | Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park has launched a public consultation on its priorities for the next five years. | 39553611 |

The team from Keen Security Lab remotely manipulated the brake system on a Tesla while it was on the move, from a distance of 12 miles (19km).
Using a laptop, the hackers also managed to open a car door without using a key.
Tesla has updated its software to prevent anyone else from manipulating its cars.
The hack took place after months of research and the team from Keen Security Lab posted a video of their efforts earlier this week on YouTube.
During the experiment a hacker took control of a vehicle from the passenger seat, while someone else was behind the wheel.
Using a laptop, he was able to adjust the rear-view mirror while the driver was changing lanes. The hacker also managed to open the trunk remotely, while the car was on the move.
This hack is notable for two reasons.
One, it was conducted far away - as far as 12 miles, researchers said. And two, the sheer amount of control it can wrest from the driver is remarkable - brakes, windscreen wipers, all sorts.
The good news is the security community is so far rising to the challenge of protecting cars from hackers. This hack was discovered by researchers who, as they should, went straight to Tesla before going public.
Tesla's cars are able to get over-the-air updates, meaning Tesla's engineers can automatically rectify the vulnerability in its cars without drivers needing to visit a dealership.
And that's precisely what the company has done.

The 0-0 draw means O'Neill's side stay second in Group F and on course to reach next summer's finals in France.
"It probably strengthens our chances of being in the top three as we are nine points ahead of Finland with four games left," said O'Neill.
"The aim has to be keep ahead of the team immediately below us, Hungary."
O'Neill admitted it was not a sparkling display at a Windsor Park ground where only two stands were in operation because of major redevelopment.
But the points leave Northern Ireland on 13 from six games, one behind Romania and two ahead of Hungary in what is a three-team scrap for the two automatic qualification places.
O'Neill's men next face the Faroe Islands away on 4 September, followed three days later by Hungary at home.
"That will be an interesting double header but I think we are well equipped for it," added O'Neill.
"Hungary have to go to Romania first in Budapest and that is going to be a huge game.
"You always want to just keep some distance between you and the team beneath you, which is Hungary.
"Our focus has to be on winning the match away to the Faroe Islands and that is no easy task because we saw Greece went there tonight and were beaten.

Miracle Mattress faced strong criticism after its "twin tower sale" offered every mattress sold on the anniversary of the attacks for the price of a smaller twin mattress.
In the clip, staff fall into two towers of mattress, knocking them over.
"We'll never forget," the presenter of the clip says in the now withdrawn advert.
Miracle Mattress owner Mike Bonanno said that "effective immediately, our Miracle Mattress store will be closed indefinitely", in a statement released on Friday.
"We will be silent through the 9/11 Anniversary to avoid any further distractions from a day of recognition and remembrance for the victims and their families."
In a letter published earlier, Mr Bonanno apologised, saying the video had been produced at the company's San Antonio office without permission from management.
"The video is tasteless and an affront to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11. Furthermore, it disrespects the families who lost their loved ones and continue to struggle with the pain of this tragedy every day of their lives."
Twitter users criticised the company over the video. "This is absolutely sickening," said one. "You deserve to be out of business. End of story," said another.

Mr Mckeague, 23, based at RAF Honington in Suffolk, went missing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds on 23 September.
He was last spotted on CCTV walking alone in Brentgovel Street at 03:25 BST the next day.
Suffolk Police closed one lane of the eastbound A14 between the Moreton Hall and Rougham junctions.
It remained coned-off from 10:00 until just after lunchtime.
Their search was due to cover a mile-and-a-half stretch of the road.
Over the past few weeks officers have been carrying out extensive work to locate Mr Mckeague, originally from Dunfermline in Fife.
Detectives believe he stopped for a brief nap in a doorway before setting off to walk the nine miles (15km) back to the RAF Honington base alone.
Police said dozens of people have been spoken to and hundreds of lines of inquiry followed up but are still urging anyone with information to come forward.
A trace on his mobile phone, which has not been found, showed it was in Bury St Edmunds early on 24 September but then moved to the Barton Mills area.
Facebook and Twitter pages have been set up appealing for information to help the police inquiry.
A police spokeswoman said today's lane closure was a follow-up to a "potential line of inquiry", but it had provided no new information to the missing person inquiry. | One lane of a dual carriageway was closed by police investigating the disappearance of airman Corrie Mckeague. | 37987587 |
The Bluebirds won 3-0 at promotion-chasing Huddersfield Town on Sunday as they finished the season 12th in the Championship table.
Kenneth Zohore and a Joe Bennett brace gave them the win against the Terriers.
"I've agreed a couple of fringe players but I'm looking to sign three or four players to add to that squad in the next few weeks," Warnock said.
Speaking to BBC Radio Wales, Warnock continued: "It might be the beginning of June because you can't really move that quick nowadays but it won't be for lack of trying.
"I think we could get three or four players in that squad in the team, I think the future is very bright."
The Bluebirds has been in 23rd place in the Championship when Warnock arrived but they ended the season in 12th place as their fortunes were turned around.
Warnock said Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers' loss was Cardiff's gain after he interviewed for both the Championship strugglers this season.
Forest survived on the final day of the season while former Premier League winners Blackburn will begin next season in League One.
"When you go to a club that were second from bottom, it's fair to say when I arrived, it wasn't a very good situation," he added.
"I had interviews at Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers so today I just wonder what they're thinking because I had good interviews but they went elsewhere.
"That is Cardiff's gain, really. I'm enjoying every minute of it. The fans have been fabulous and I think I've turned the club around." | Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock says he is close to bringing "three or four" players in by the start of June. | 39837455 |

A spokesman said the missiles would help counter the threat from large IS car bombs in the city, west of Baghdad.
Iraqi forces are regrouping and are expected to retake the city in the "near term", Col Pat Ryder said.
More than 40,000 people have fled their homes since IS militants seized the Ramadi last Friday.
On Wednesday, thousands displaced by the violence in the western province of Anbar were finally allowed to enter Baghdad.
Many had been stranded on open land for several days amid government fears that IS might have infiltrated them.
Residents still left in Ramadi told the Associated Press news agency that IS fighters were urging them over loudspeakers not to be afraid and to stay in the city.
According to Anbar provincial officials, at least 500 people were killed in three days of fighting in Ramadi last week.
Col Ryder described the waves of "vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices" (VBIEDs) used by IS in their offensive as "devastating".
"These enormous suicide VBIEDs is something that we have to help the Iraqis, and our partners in Syria, defeat," he said.
Iraqi troops in the area are expected to launch an attack on IS soon and they could be joined by about 3,000 Shia militia fighters.
But the BBC's Gary O'Donoghue in Washington says the US insists it will only provide air cover to fighters under the control of the Iraqi government - reflecting concerns that some of the groups are controlled by Iran.
Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi flew to Russia on Wednesday, seeking closer military co-operation.
Mr Abadi, who is travelling with a large number of ministers and advisers, is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.

Eloise Dixon, 46, from Gravesend, was in a car with her husband and children in Angra dos Reis on Sunday when the attack happened, according to reports.
Ms Dixon, 46, was shot twice, once in the abdomen, and is now recovering.
Max Dixon, 46, a Bromley firefighter and former paratrooper "dealt with the situation calmly," Hazel Dixon said.
"He just wanted to get out of it as quickly as possible - to the nearest hospital.
"He told me the car was riddled with bullets," she added.
The attack occurred in the first week of their family holiday.
The couple had been travelling in the car with their three children Isabella, 13, Holly, eight, and seven-year-old Alice.
It is believed a language mix-up led the family, from Hayes, south-east London, into the Agua Santa neighbourhood - a coastal resort about 90 miles (145 km) from Rio de Janeiro.
Authorities said a group approached the car and told the family to get out, but the Dixons did not understand the request.
The group then reportedly opened fire.
Ms Dixon said her daughter-in-law, a part-time classroom assistant at a primary school in Hayes, was lucky to be alive.
She said the family, who travelled a lot and liked to go to adventurous places, were just one week into a three week holiday when the attack happened.

Falloon will join the treble winners on a one-year deal after Gold Coast Titans opted to release him.
The 28-year-old was among a group of players involved in a drug-trafficking case earlier this year, but the charges against him were later dropped.
"Leeds has a proud history and it will be special to play for them," he said.
"Being a hooker, Leeds have got a great forward pack who like to go forward and that excites me."
Gold Coast's 2014 player of the year Falloon played 12 games in 2015. taking his NRL tally to 85 and also appeared for the New South Wales City Origin side in 2014.
"We are pleased to have signed a player with the experience that Beau has," Leeds head coach Brian McDermott said.
"He has been playing in the NRL for eight seasons and, having spoken to him, I know he is very excited about the challenge of coming to England and playing with the Rhinos." | Leeds Rhinos have signed Australian hooker Beau Falloon as a replacement for Paul Aiton, who is moving to Catalans Dragons for 2016. | 34617458 |
The 29-year-old hit his country's fastest one-day international 50, reaching the milestone off 17 balls to beat Brendon McCullum's record of 18.
He fell short of AB de Villiers' world record of 16 but went on to hit eight sixes and seal victory in 8.2 overs.
Sri Lanka were bowled out for 117 from 27.4 overs earlier in the day.
"It was a superb innings. You can't describe it," said captain McCullum. "It's something you witness only once or twice in your life.
"There are very few guys in the world who can play like that."
The tourists opted to bat first but struggled almost from the off, with Matt Henry (4-33) and Mitchell McClenaghan (3-32) doing the main damage. Nuwan Kulasekara, batting at eight, was Sri Lanka's highest scorer with 19.
Guptill smashed the first ball he faced towards leg gully but, despite getting two hands on the ball, a diving Milinda Siriwardana could not prevent it going for four.
And Sri Lanka were made to pay a heavy price as the hosts cruised to their victory target.
Guptill was partnered by Tom Latham, who made 17 not out, as a back injury prevented McCullum from opening the batting.
The 34-year-old was injured when he collided with an advertising hoarding while diving to stop the ball.

Under the deal, Wood Group PSN (WGPSN) will provide engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services to four offshore assets and two onshore facilities.
The five-year contract includes an option for two one-year extensions.
It is the second major oil sector deal Wood Group has picked up this month.
In mid-March, the Aberdeen-based company won a contract from Statoil worth more than £40m to expand and upgrade a Norwegian gas processing plant.
Under the Total deal, WGPSN will continue to provide services for Total's Alywn, Dunbar, Elgin and Franklin platforms and the St Fergus Gas Terminal.
It will also support the Shetland Gas Plant, the onshore receiving facility for Laggan/Tormore, which will start production later this year.

The quadcopter carrying 3kg (6.6lb) of methamphetamine was found in pieces in a supermarket car park near San Ysidro.
Mexican police said the drone had probably crashed because the drugs onboard had been too heavy for it.
They added that drones were increasingly being used to ferry illicit items across the border with the US.
In a statement, the Tijuana police said the drugs had been divided into six packets crudely taped to the body of the drone.
After receiving an anonymous call about the crashed craft, Tijuana police recovered the drone and are now examining it to see if they can trace who set it flying and where it began its journey.
The statement said the drone was a prototype that could be given GPS co-ordinates and would then travel to that location autonomously. No pilot was needed to guide it.
The Tijuana police said drones were just one of the many innovative ways drug-smugglers were using to ferry illicit substances across the border. Other methods included catapults, tunnels and ultra-light aircraft.
Last year, the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) said drones were becoming so popular as a method of drug transport that some gangs were manufacturing their own.
Engineers were hired to make the devices for the drug cartels so they could carry more weight than those that were commercially available, it said.
The drones were making more than 150 trips a year, suggested figures from the DEA. | A drone carrying illegal drugs has crashed near a US border crossing in Mexico. | 30932395 |
BBC London has learned that 823 staff took redundancy while 54 left for other reasons such as retirement when the offices closed in 2015.
The TSSA union said it was a waste of money as 325 jobs were reintroduced following a review.
The cost was "significantly less" than the savings that were made, TfL said.
The plan, announced in 2013 by then mayor Boris Johnson, has prompted numerous strikes.
TfL wanted to close the offices to help pay for the 24-hour Night Tube service which is marking one year in operation this Saturday.
When Sadiq Khan became mayor, he ordered London Travelwatch to carry out a review which found that staff were not visible enough and more were needed.
Ben Stevenson from the TSSA, said: "As a union we didn't want anyone to be made redundant as it is one of the most stressful situations anyone can go through."
He said it was right staff were paid what they were legally entitled to but that too many people left the company.
"Our objective was to get as many jobs back as possible to ensure the safety of the public and the service," he added.
TfL said it had always planned to review staffing levels following the ticket office closures.
A TfL spokesperson said: "The one-off voluntary severance costs associated with the closure of ticket offices in 2016 are significantly lower than the hundreds of millions of pounds we will be saving across our business plan from these changes.
"We are now undertaking the biggest overhaul in our history which will save £4bn over the next few years and enable us to deliver a modern, affordable and accessible transport network for all Londoners." | About £45m was spent by Transport for London (TfL) making more than 800 people redundant over the controversial plan to close Tube ticket offices. | 40951271 |
Brookes will be joined by fellow Australian David Johnson, with both riders using the all-new SG6 in both the Superbike and Senior TT.
The bike is undergoing development in the hands of two-time TT winner Steve Plater.
Brookes said: "I couldn't ride at the TT over the last two years and I've been desperate to get back and race."
He added: "It's always hard to predict results, especially around the island so I think it's important that I let it come to me.
"I like the history of the Norton and it will be so great to be a little part of the Norton story."
Brookes was the fastest newcomer at the 2013 TT and finished seventh in the Senior the following year.
The 2015 British Superbike champion and his Norton team are also in discussions with North West 200 organisers with a view to possibly competing at that event in May.

Dr Hugh Blaise O'Neill, 61, from Tasburgh, Norfolk, has been charged with two counts of rape and four of gross indecency.
The offences date between the early 1990s and early 2000s and do not relate to his professional role, police said.
Dr O'Neill is due to appear at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
An NHS England spokesperson said: "We are aware that Dr Hugh Blaise O'Neill, who was a GP in Horsford, has been charged with a number of sexual offences against girls.

The number of corncrakes dropped by almost a fifth, RSPB Scotland said.
The birds are counted by listening for the call of males. This year 1,069 were counted, while last year there were 1,289 - the highest total in 45 years.
Corncrakes migrate from Africa to the Hebrides, with largest number of the birds flying to Tiree to breed.
There were 333 calling males counted in Tiree this year.
In Orkney, there were 16 calling males recorded - down from 36 last year.
RSPB Scotland said Islay and Iona had a slight increase in corncrakes, but there were fewer in almost every other part of the Highlands and Islands where they are found. | Wet and cold spring and summer weather has been blamed for one of Scotland's rarest breeding birds having a poor season this year. | 34832770 |
Derby Cathedral dates back to the mid-10th century but has twice been demolished and knowledge of its history is limited.
Now the 1930s floor will be lifted and allow a study of its origins as well as the tomb of Bess of Hardwick - an aristocrat who rivalled Elizabeth I.
The work will also allow events and concerts of "a far larger scale".
A church was first built on the site in 943, but the building seems to have been flattened twice before it was rebuilt in 1723 by architect James Gibb.
Describing the work as "a unique opportunity", Adam Buss, Chief Executive of Derby QUAD arts centre said: "The Cathedral's most famous monument is Bess of Hardwick's tomb.
"We will be able to develop cutting-edge apps and interpretative technology which will allow Bess and others commemorated in the cathedral to tell their own stories.'
The wider project will see new seating, flooring and an upgraded organ.
Reverend Dr Elizabeth Thomson said: "At the moment it is a very inflexible space.
"It is a glorious space and it was designed by the original architect to be a big open space in the centre with some fixed seating to the side. What he envisaged is what we think the city of Derby needs."
An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund for £1.6m has been submitted and fund raising is under way.

Since coming in on 24 October, Hurst has already offloaded Antoni Sarcevic, and opted not to extend the loans of George Waring, Ivan Toney and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
Having led his team out of the bottom four for the first time in three months, the former Grimsby Town boss knows the importance of staying together as a squad if they are to avoid the drop.
He has already made three signings, in defender Aristote Nsiala, winger Alex Rodman and striker Freddie Ladapo. But, while he continues to chase new faces, he has told his players, especially the ones whose contracts expire in June, that they have to prove to him why they should be kept on.
Goalkeeper Mark Halstead, defender Mat Sadler and midfielders Abu Ogogo, Shaun Whalley and Ian Black are all out of contract at the end of the season.

They ran the so-called "boiler room" scam from Majorca to call potential UK investors, City of London Police said.
More than 100 people, many elderly or vulnerable, were conned, with one man handing over £74,000, the force said.
The five men, from Nottingham, were jailed at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday after admitting conspiracy to defraud and money laundering offences.
Det Con Toby Larkin said the jailing of the "callous" gang sends a clear message to like-minded scammers.
People had handed over cash believing they were buying shares in genuine gold mining or pharmaceutical firms - but, both did not exist.
Once their liquid assets were exhausted, some victims were convinced to borrow against their homes, leaving them saddled with debt, police said.
While investors were sent gifts including champagne and chocolates, the gang spent millions on Ferraris, Lamborghinis, a Range Rover, property and trips abroad.
Police started tracking the gang in 2009 as they travelled between the Midlands and Spain, after receiving complaints from concerned investors.
Khan and Wasim Karim were arrested in 2010 as they prepared to take laptops to Palma.

Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) accused Aslef members of refusing to drive a new, longer train.
GTR said it went to the High Court with "great reluctance".
Earlier this month a new train was driven empty, with Aslef members not prepared to work "driver-only" services.
A spokesman for GTR said it was pleased Aslef "must not induce" its drivers to refuse to operate the new 12-car trains.
He said: "Gatwick Express services have operated without conductors operating the doors for 17 years, so we were never able to understand why the Aslef union objected to the operation of these new trains in the same way.
"The new trains will offer significant benefits to passengers, including a much better travelling environment."

Finbarr O'Connell, from Smith & Williamson, said Caterham F1 operator 1MRT had made an "inadequate" offer to continue using the Leafield site.
Administrators have taken control of the building, where F1 cars were made.
Mr O'Connell said he was trying to resolve the situation with 1MRT but until then had locked staff out.
Employees from Caterham Sports Limited - which manufactures cars for the F1 team and is run as a separate company - were transferred to 1MRT when the company was placed into administration on Friday.
Mr O'Connell said 200 jobs were at risk and up to £20m was owed to external suppliers.
One employee at the site said: "We've just been given a letter saying we're not allowed in today - it seems to be a very confused situation.
"People are confused and disillusioned by it all.
"It's a shame that it's ended so abruptly. It's not looking good - I think it could be the end."

Parts of the plane were excavated from Holme Fen in Cambridgeshire in October, where it crashed 75 years ago.
Lead archaeologist Anthony Haskins said a new technique called "photogrammetry" was being used to create the models.
He believes it is the first time in the world such technology has been used in aviation excavation.
The technique involves taking lots of photos of the hole and crater and, using software to stitch them together into a complex image, eventually creating a three-dimensional model.
Archaeologists are also hoping to make a model of the plane's engine and its components.
Mr Haskins, field work project officer for Oxford Archaeology East, said the models would enable the team to answer some of the questions about why and how the plane crashed.
"One of the things about creating a crater is trying to work out the angle of plane impact, at least to study it, and get a better understanding of how he crashed," Mr Haskins said.
"We're tying to understand the story behind what happened."
Although the models will be helpful, Mr Haskins said he does not think they will provide definitive proof of what caused the crash.
"Unfortunately I don't think we're going to be completely able to prove why it crashed but we'll have a better understanding.
"We won't be able to understand the original impact as we only have a partial record - in the 1940s their focus was recovering the pilot's body rather than investigating.
"We've done the only aviation excavation using this technology in the UK for definite and as far as I'm aware in the world." | An ill-fated Spitfire and the crater formed when it crashed are to be recreated as 3D models to help archaeologists study what happened. | 35155321 |
The unofficial event was organised by rebel cheese rollers, after plans for an official contest were axed in 2010.
Several thousand spectators turned out to watch thrill-seekers chase an 8lb (3.5kg) wheel of double Gloucester cheese down the 1:2 gradient hill.
All four races were won by cheese-chasers from the Brockworth area, who once again chased real cheese.
In 2013, in a bid to make the race safer, revellers had to chase a foam imitation of a double Gloucester 656ft (200m) down the hill at Brockworth.
The fake fromage was then binned again in favour of a real wheel of cheese.
In total, four 8lb (3.5kg) and three smaller 3lb (1.5kg) cheeses were used - made by Smarts Cheese, which has been producing them for the event for more than 25 years.
The winner of the first race was Chris Anderson, from Brockworth, who won a second double Gloucester cheese bringing his tally to 15 cheeses in ten years.
The second men's race was won for the third year running by local veteran cheese chaser, Ryan Fairley, 25, from Brockworth.
"I took a bit of a tumble... I had a plan where I was going to go but it didn't happen."
The women's race was won by first timer Keavy Morgan, 16, also from Brockworth.
Cheese rolling dates back to at least the early 19th Century.
In 2009, the official event was scrapped after more than 15,000 people turned up, sparking safety fears over numbers at the site.

The County Tyrone motorcycle racer, 40, was involved in a high-speed accident during the opening Supertwins race of the meeting on Thursday night.
The Belfast Trust had initially described Farquhar as "seriously ill".
The five-time winner suffered chest and pelvic injuries in the crash.
The Dungannon rider, who resumed road racing in 2014 after retiring in 2012, and Dan Cooper, came off their bikes on the the Black Hill section of the course.

Jonathan Toews, Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz scored as Canada became the first team to retain the Olympic title since the Soviet Union in 1988.
The Canadians are also the first team in 30 years to go through a Games unbeaten, inspired by the energetic Toews and Crosby's breakaway goal.
Sweden were without Washington Capitals centre Nicklas Backstrom who failed a drug test prior to the game.
The 26-year-old was dropped from the team after testing positive for what Swedish Olympic Committee spokesman Bjorn Folin said was a substance found in an allergy medication that the player had taken for the past seven years.
"It was a shocking message to get," said goaltender Jhonas Enroth after the final. "We found out two hours before the match."
Canada finished with 10 gold medals and 25 in total for third place on the medal table behind Russia and Norway.
At their home Games in Vancouver four years ago, the Canadians won 14 gold medals and topped the table, an achievement capped off by Crosby's famous overtime winner against the United States but this year's final proved nowhere near as close a contest.
In Backstrom's absence, a depleted Sweden lacked the creativity to match Canada.
Sweden's Gustav Nyquist hit the post early in the first period but his side subsequently faded.
Once Toews had opened the scoring from close range in the first period, converting Jeff Carter's assist, Canada only ever looked destined to increase their lead.
Crosby's sublime second-period finish beat goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who had impressed during Sweden's run to the final.

Kobe is the son of a former NBA player and signed up to the league straight out of high school.
Nicknamed Black Mamba he is more than two metres tall.
He has just retired from the game after a record breaking 20 years with the same team - The Los Angeles Lakers.
It's the longest any player has stayed with one team.
In two separate Olympic Games Kobe has won gold medals as a member of the US Basketball team.
He is the highest scoring player in Lakers History and at 34-years-old he became the youngest player in league history to reach 30,000 points.
Kobe was given the most valuable player award for the 2008 season.
Bryant announced his retirement last year by putting out a poem called Dear Basketball.
It explained how he fell in love with the game at aged six after practising his shots by dunking his dad's rolled up socks in a bin.
He's suffered a few injuries in the last couple of years he says: "My heart can take the pounding, my mind can handle the grind but my body know's it's time to say goodbye."
The Staples Centre, in Los Angeles, where the Lakers play all their home games was filled with fans who paid thousands of dollars to watch the Black Mamba play his final game.
Videos of old games were played, his friends got to wish him well and he was even awarded a special ring for his years of services.

Striker Jordan Larsson - who had scored a goal eight minutes from time that looked set to keep them up - went over to supporters after they lost the home leg of their play-off to Halmstads.
Fans ran onto the Olympia pitch and ripped the shirt off the 19-year-old.
Fans also attempted to confront Henrik Larsson, the club's head coach.
The former Celtic striker, who had two spells as a Helsingborgs player, has been in charge since January 2015 and plans to remain in the job.
Larsson, who was not aware his son had been confronted, says he will "not walk alone" in his hometown now and plans to send Jordan away on holiday.
"I didn't see that they attacked Jordan but if I had, I would have gone in there towards him. I was not going to run from there," he said. "If they turn on me, they turn on me. I had been beaten."
If any hooligans come to his house, he added he "has many dogs at home".
Larsson Jr had put them ahead on aggregate in the 82nd minute before Marcus Mathisen scored in the 87th and 90th minute.

Colin Smyth said there had been a "very robust discussion" between police, organisers and the council.
He said it was clear charging policies had changed since the introduction of a national police force.
However, he said it was "encouraging" the importance of the music festivals had been recognised.
"There was a commitment by everyone to work together to find a way forward," he said.
"The police will meet event organisers at as early a stage in the planning process as possible for next year's events to thrash out a policing plan.
"That could allow organisers for example to tweak stewarding plans with advice from the police to possibly minimise police costs, so from that point of view the meeting was constructive."
Ch Supt Gary Ritchie also said he felt the talks had been worthwhile.
"I'm pleased that event organisers acknowledge and accept that the policing necessary to ensure public safety at events cannot be provided to the detriment of policing our local communities," he said.
"I look forward to positive and constructive partnerships with event organisers for the forthcoming year which I'm sure will enhance the region's reputation for hosting attractive, exciting and, above all, safe events." | A south of Scotland MSP has said talks over the impact of rising policing costs on music festivals in Dumfries and Galloway proved constructive. | 38143690 |
Robert Buzalski drank vodka liqueur before setting off for Edzell with Krysztof Birula and another man.
A court heard Buzalski's hire car left the road during bad weather conditions and plunged down an embankment into a river bed.
Mr Birula suffered a broken back in the crash and had to be cut free from the vehicle by firefighters.
Buzalski had denied causing serious injury to Mr Birula by dangerous driving.
A jury at Forfar Sheriff Court found the 36-year-old of Ruthvenfield Road, Perth, guilty of the charge.
The crash took place on 24 August 2013 on a farm road from Cornes Cottage to Dalbog Farm, near Edzell.
Mr Birula was unable to travel to court to give evidence but a statement taken from him recounting the events was read to the court.
The statement read: "Buzalski was driving normally, he did not drive fast.
"Suddenly Marcin Kopij told Buzalski: 'Watch out, we're being drawn off the road'.
"I fell off the seat and I think I hit my head. I said to Buzalski that I could not move an arm or leg.
"The next thing I remember is waking up in hospital."
Giving evidence in his own defence Buzalski, who suffered four broken ribs in the incident, said: "I think about it every day, it's very hard.
"I ask myself every evening, why did it have to happen?"

The 26-year-old joined Rangers in January 2016 from Doncaster and went on to make 44 appearances, half of which came in the Scottish Premiership.
"Harry brings a quality going forward that we need a little bit more of," said assistant manager Neil Cox.
"His goalscoring record is good, he's played at a higher level and he just wants to get started."
Forrester was on the books of Northampton, Watford and Aston Villa as a junior but made his breakthrough in senior football during a loan spell at Kilmarnock.

Hardy, who thwarted a "fleeing thief" recently, wrote on his fundraising site: "There is no bringing back those who have been lost, pointlessly, in such a cowardly and brutal fashion.
"I am truly saddened by what I have witnessed and there is no doubt that terrorism is an evil thing."

Most of those killed are said to have belonged to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, which is excluded from the current ceasefire.
It is not clear whether US-led coalition, Syrian or Russian planes carried out the attack.
Meanwhile the UN Security Council is to discuss preparations for peace talks between the Syrian government and rebels due in Kazakhstan on Monday.
The UN said on Thursday that its Syrian envoy Staffan de Mistura would attend the meeting in Astana, which has been convened by Russia, Turkey and Iran.
It will mark the first time the two warring sides have met since UN-brokered talks broke up amid acrimony in Geneva in April 2016.
An intense wave of air strikes is reported to have hit the Sheikh Sulaiman camp, previously headquarters of the now-defunct US-backed Hazm Movement.
Unconfirmed reports say three members of members of Nour al-Din al-Zinki group were also killed.
The group and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS) have become increasingly allied in recent months. Nour al-Din al-Zinki said early on that they would not be attending the talks in Astana.
JFS, known as al-Nusra Front until it broke off formal ties with al-Qaeda in July, along with the so-called Islamic State (IS) group are not covered by the nationwide ceasefire, which was declared at the end of last year.
The ceasefire is largely holding, although air strikes and clashes have been reported on several battlefronts, particularly in the Wadi Barada region north-west of Damascus.
More than 300,000 people have been killed and 11 million others displaced in almost six years of conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war. | At least 40 jihadists have been killed in air strikes on a training camp in western Aleppo, reports say. | 38689671 |
Officers say every year they receive complaints about callers who post flyers offering services such as household repairs or garden clearance.
They warn that these traders often use misleading or intimidating practices to obtain large amounts of money.
Vulnerable consumers, particularly the elderly, are most often targeted.
The guidance issued by Moray trading standards advises householders to never agree to employ a trader who cold calls at their home.
It warned: "Doorstep sellers are often trained in pressure sales techniques and they can be very persuasive. The best protection course of action is to say, 'No thank you' and close the door.
"Common complaints include poor quality of work, quoting a low initial price which goes up significantly because of 'extra work' needed, or exaggerating the risks that consumers face if they do not get repairs carried out.
"Householders who think that work is needed to their property should get quotes from two or three traders or ask someone trustworthy for a recommendation."
The organisation also appealed to the public to report any suspected rogue traders.
The guidance said: "Many instances of doorstep crime remain unreported because victims are embarrassed, they don't know who to report it to, or they do not even realise they have been the victim of a crime." | Moray Council's trading standards team has issued a warning to householders to be on the alert for unscrupulous doorstep traders. | 32232223 |

Defender Poole joined from Newport County in September 2015, debuting in a Europa League tie in February 2016.
The 18-year-old did not make a first team appearance during the 2016-17 season but says senior players have told him to be patient for his chance.
"I made the breakthrough last year so I did want it again this year," he said.
"That's all you want as a footballer, more and more of it."
Poole says Pogba, the world's most expensive player, has been one of those to offer advice.
"People like Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba came through the youth team and they are the ones that help us as they know exactly what we're going through," he explained.
"They're all nice people and really genuine guys.
"They know it takes time. I get a bit ahead of myself sometimes and they tell me 'take your time' and 'slow down.'
"I'm 18 but some of them are 21 in the reserves now and had a little bit of a taste at the end of the season against Crystal Palace and did really well."
Poole's senior Manchester United debut was a late substitute in a Europa League game against FC Midtjylland, a game in which Rashford made his Red Devils bow.
Rashford, 19 scored twice in the 5-1 win and is now part of the first team squad as well as an England international.
Cardiff-born Poole has represented Wales at various youth levels including Under-21 and is included in the squad for the Toulon Under-20 tournament in France.

The February 2011 quake damaged the only factory in the country that produces Marmite, forcing it to close.
Stocks then dwindled, leading to shortages dubbed "marmageddon" by media, from early 2012.
The factory has since reopened, with food company Sanitarium thanking consumers for "not freaking out".
Sanitarium Marmite uses a different recipe than the English version of Marmite, manufactured by a different company.
It was first brought to New Zealand in the 1900s but the country came up with its own version, which has its own distinctive taste. Australia also has a similar product called Vegemite.
The shortage led to complaints from many New Zealanders, including Prime Minister John Key.
"You've rationed, you've scraped, you've survived marmaggedon - and now the wait is over!" Sanitarium said on its website.
"Thanks for not freaking out and for waiting patiently for the black gold's return."
The Marmite factory was scheduled to re-open by middle of last year but faced unexpected delays.
Even with its return, some supermarkets in New Zealand were rationing supplies to two jars per customer in the face of high demand.
Kelly Moddy, a supermarket store manager, told Fairfax they had limited supply. "All other supermarkets in the country are in the same boat," she said.
But customers said they were happy with the spread's return.
"I've tried the alternatives but they're just not the same, so I've had to have jam or peanut butter on my toast," consumer Robyn Lonergan told Agence-France Presse news agency. | Marmite has returned to supermarket shelves in New Zealand for the first time in over a year, after shortages caused by the Christchurch quake. | 21855045 |
Friend, who cut his face, was treated in the tunnel before being taken to hospital, where he stayed overnight.
The incident happened as the first half came to an end at the Vitality Stadium.
The start of the second half was delayed by five minutes as Friend was replaced by Dean Treleaven, a qualified referee who was watching the match.
"I was on the bench and he came to us and he fell against the dugout, with his nose, and then fell to the ground," said Saints boss Ronald Koeman.
"For maybe five seconds, he was out of everything."

Leach followed his unbeaten 82 from the first innings, which had been his best career score, with 103 not out as the visitors reached 296-8 to lead by 152.
He shared a fifth-wicket stand of 109 with Thilan Samaraweera in his innings which has so far lasted 234 minutes.
Leach survived a hard caught and bowled chance to Benny Howell on 91 before reaching his ton in the last over.
BBC Gloucestershire's Ian Randall :
"Advantage Gloucestershire after a long day in the field despite Joe Leach's maiden century.
"Openers Mitchell and Pardoe provided stoic resistance and Samaraweera looked well set when he was given out lbw to Will Gidman, but Leach gave only one difficult chance on 91 when Howell dropped a sharp catch off his own bowling.
"Four wickets with the second new ball left Graeme Cessford to keep Leach company until stumps.
"Worcestershire's lead is 152, but they probably need another 50 runs to give themselves something to bowl at and extend their run of Championship wins at Cheltenham to four in a row."
BBC Hereford & Worcester's Dave Bradley:
"Worcestershire showed some fight for the second day running, and the first session of the game looks as if it could still be the deciding factor.
"Leach's century was almost faultless and a young batsman who has worked at his game deserved his rewards.
"Worcestershire were a little peeved at one or two decisions, Samaraeewa's lbw looking doubtful, but credit to the Gloucestershire attack who stuck to the task on another boiling hot day.
"To get 200 in the last innings could be difficult."

In the men's marathon Derek Hawkins is included alongside younger brother Callum and Tsegai Tewelde, both of whom qualified at the London Marathon.
Alyson Dixon and Sonia Samuels also guaranteed their marathon spots in Sunday's race in London.
Dominic King has also been selected for the 50km men's race walk.
Callum Hawkins and Tewelde, who claimed asylum in Britain after competing for Eritrea at the 2008 World Cross Country Championships in Edinburgh, qualified as the first two Britons to cross the line in Sunday's marathon.
Hawkins clocked a personal best time of two hours 10 minutes 52 seconds to finish eighth, while Tewelde was 12th in a time of 2:12:57 - both within the 2:14:00 qualifying time.
His brother Derek ran within the qualifying mark by clocking 2:12:57 to finish 14th and has now been awarded a discretionary place.

Louise Haigh, a former corporate governance officer at an investment bank, said "excessive risk taking" and short termism are back in the City.
The markets are "wilder, less transparent and more importantly faster than they were before," she said.
And without urgent reform another crash is likely, she added.
Speaking at a Unite fringe meeting at the Labour Party conference, she said Britain's financial regulators cannot keep up with the rapid pace of change in the City and had been "captured" by the institutions they were meant to be policing.
But the shadow civil service and digital minister cautioned against piling more regulation on the markets.

Finnish electricity company TVO says the Olkiluoto 3 plant will not be ready by the latest deadline of 2014 and a new timetable has not yet been set.
The plant will be powered by a new generation of nuclear technology called the European Pressurised Reactor (EPR).
China looks set to be the first country to operate an EPR reactor with one due to enter service in 2013.
Olkiluoto 3, originally due to be ready by 2009, is being built by French nuclear company Areva and German engineering giant Siemens.
In a statement, TVO said it was "not pleased with the situation" although solutions to various problems were being found one by one and work was "progressing".
It said it was waiting for a new launch date from Areva and Siemens.
Work on the site in south-west Finland began in 2005 but has been hit by repeated delays and has run way over budget.
Correspondents say that the French designed EPR is the big hope for a so-called third generation of reactors, said to offer increased safety and better economic competitiveness.

But republicans needed to persuade unionists that they would have a better future in a united Ireland, he added.
Mr Adams was speaking a week on from what he called a "watershed" election.
The 2 March poll brought an end to Stormont's unionist majority, with nationalists holding an equal number of seats for the first time.
The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) won the most seats, but saw its lead over Sinn Féin cut from 10 seats to one.
Mr Adams said that despite the result, unionists still had a majority among the population in Northern Ireland.
"There is still a big onus on us to persuade them that this is how their future would best be developed," he added.
"I don't want to see the unionists in the place that nationalists used to be in.
"We need an entirely new Ireland, we need an Ireland which unionism is comfortable with, that they have an ownership of and that they agree to."
The Sinn Féin leader said last year's Brexit vote had begun to shift opinions on Irish unity.
The UK voted to leave the European Union but, in Northern Ireland, a majority (56%) voted to remain.
"It's not exactly tangible, it's a sense of expectation, a sense of hope, a sense of 'doabilty'," said Mr Adams.
"Ten years ago Scottish independence was a minority occupation for men in kilts.
"Most people in Scotland hadn't really bought into it, but now they have. The same thing is going to happen, in my opinion, for those of us who want Irish unity."
When asked if he now envisaged seeing a united Ireland within his lifetime, the 68-year-old said: "It depends how long I live, but my hope is - yes." | The Northern Ireland Assembly election result has shown nationalists that a goal of Irish unity is achievable, Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has said. | 39226859 |

"It's a real honour to be asked to become chairman of Plymouth Albion," said Hannaford.
"I'm very excited to be joining the board who have a great vision for the future development of the club."
Albion were taken over by former players Bruce Priday and Dave Venables in April and appointed Dan Parkes as their new head coach earlier this month, having sacked long-serving boss Graham Dawe.
"Ali is a very experienced business woman who has had a lot of success with a number of enterprises," said Priday.
"Ali has huge experience chairing of a number of organisations and her input into Plymouth Albion will be invaluable.
"Ali is a massive rugby fan but she will be concentrating on the governance and commercial aspects of the club.
"She is the best person I know to lead those of us involved in creating a big future for our great club."
Meanwhile Albion have agreed a new contract with lock Dan Collier and signed former London Scottish prop Sam Nixon.

Go-Ahead, which owns 65% of Southern's operator Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), said half-year profits from its rail business had fallen 35%.
GTR has been in dispute with unions over driver-only operated trains, leading to a series of strikes.
Go-Ahead said it was talking to unions to try to resolve the issues.
Group chief executive David Brown said: "We have faced lengthy and significant industrial relations issues related to the modernisation of working practices.
"Our customers have suffered months of disrupted travel, impacting work and family lives and we are sorry that such inconvenience and hardship has been caused. Discussions with trade unions are ongoing as we strive to reach a full resolution of these issues," he added.
Go-Ahead said profits at its rail division had fallen to £26.9m in the six months to 31 December, although its Southeastern and London Midland rail franchises had "delivered good results".
Across the group as a whole profits dropped 11.7% to £67m.
The company added that "the long-running industrial relations issues in GTR have introduced additional costs and delays to expected efficiencies which will result in lower than anticipated profits in the full-year".
Go-Ahead also said profits at its bus operations, which saw a "robust financial performance" in the first half of its financial year, would be hit by a slowdown in the number of passengers, particularly in the northeast of England and Oxford. | Shares in transport group Go-Ahead have dived 15% after it warned full-year profits would be lower than expected because of strikes at Southern rail. | 39112957 |
By the end of November, the stock of eurozone government bonds that carried negative yields had risen to more than €1.9 trillion (£1.36tn; $2.05tn).
The bond prices are so high that investors will not get their money back on maturity, and the interest rates are not high enough to make up for it.
The BIS blames the European Central Bank's recent comments.
It said that other major government bond markets, including Japan and the UK, had not gone down this path.
Some economists believe quantitative easing (QE) by the European Central Bank (ECB), a programme by which it purchases bonds in secondary markets, has triggered the move by so many euro area bonds into negative territory.
The BIS said in its latest quarterly review that speeches by ECB officials from late October onwards were interpreted "as signals for an expansion in monetary accommodation in early December" and that subsequently "yields continued to fall".
In early December, ECB chairman Mario Draghi did in fact extend the bank's monthly €60bn stimulus programme by six months to March 2017.
He said the QE programme was working, but that an extension was needed to tackle prolonged low inflation. | A third of bonds from eurozone states are losing investors money, the Bank for International Settlements says. | 35029253 |
A urine test revealed a mixture of strong painkillers, sleep and anxiety drugs and THC, which is a chemical component of marijuana.
The former world number one, 41, sought "professional help" after his arrest.
The 14-time major winner pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge last week.
Woods, who is recovering from a fourth back operation, is now expected to admit a lesser charge of reckless driving and enter a 12-month probation programme.
"As I previously said, I received professional help to manage my medications," said Woods on Monday.
"Recently, I had been trying on my own to treat my back pain and a sleep disorder, including insomnia, but I realise now it was a mistake to do this without medical assistance."
American Woods was arrested near his Florida home on 29 May, after police found him asleep in his car on the side of the road.
He denied alcohol was involved and said it was down to "an unexpected reaction to prescribed medication".

Mexico City and the southern state of Quintana Roo allow gay marriages, while Coahuila allows same-sex civil unions.
Congress in Yucatan on the other hand banned same-sex marriage in 2009.
Seven out of ten authorities in Colima approved the constitutional change, which had been passed by the state's congress earlier this month.
Only two Congressmen voted against the change, arguing the state should legalise gay marriages rather than restricting same-sex couples to civil unions.
News of the change in the law in Colima came on the same day as Pope Francis told reporters that gay people should not be marginalised but integrated into society.
Speaking to reporters on a flight back from Brazil, the Pope reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church's position that homosexual acts were sinful, but homosexual orientation was not.
Gay marriage was legalised in Uruguay earlier this year, and in Argentina in 2010.
In Brazil, the Supreme Court in May voted overwhelmingly in favour of allowing same-sex couples the same legal rights as married heterosexuals, effectively authorising gay marriage.
However, full legalisation of gay marriage in Brazil still depends on the passage of a law in Congress. | Colima has become the latest Mexican state to allow same-sex couples to enter into civil unions after a majority of local authorities passed a change in the state's constitution. | 23502039 |
The man was airlifted to the city's Morriston Hospital where a boy, nine, was also taken by ambulance following the incident at 15:40 BST on Tuesday.
South Wales Police confirmed the man had died after being pulled from the water in the Three Cliffs Bay area.
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called to reports that a young male had drifted out to sea."
The condition of the boy is unknown.
Two people in wetsuits had managed to drag them to the beach and lifeboat volunteers searched for an hour for a third person reported to be in the water.
No one was found and the lifeboat was stood down.
Matt Horton, RNLI senior lifeguard manager, said the thoughts and prayers of the RNLI team were with the man's family "at this difficult time".
He issued a warning to other people about the rip currents in the area, adding: "A rip is a strong current of water running out to sea that can quickly drag you out beyond your depth.
"They can sometimes be identified by a channel of churning, choppy water or debris on the sea's surface." | A man has died after getting into difficulty in the sea on Gower, near Swansea. | 33694000 |
Four people had already been eating the caramel pecan ice cream when one bit into a piece of the medical device.
The ice cream manufacturer says it has requested a full investigation by Canada's food inspection agency.
Quebec health authorities told the family they must undergo blood tests for Hepatitis A, B, and C and for HIV.
They will have to be tested for the next six months.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed it is investigating the incident, and told the BBC that no threats to health were identified at the ice cream production facility after an initial inspection.
The family was celebrating the birth of a baby, and it was the new grandfather who bit down on the syringe. At first, he thought it was just a pecan.
"He put it in his mouth and found the tip of syringe," family member Carole-Anne Christofferson told Radio-Canada.
"He is the worst off, the most affected. He's not even able to speak about it."
The ice cream manufacturer, Laiterie de Coaticook, based in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, says the container tells them the exact date the ice cream was made and they are looking through surveillance footage.
"We have so many internal controls here and in food production in general that having something like that show up in a food item, it is not normal," a Coaticook spokesperson told the CBC. | A Canadian family who found an intravenous catheter in a tub of ice cream will need to undergo medical tests for the next six months. | 40651178 |
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said it would manage Pen Y Maes surgery in Summerhill if another team of GPs does not take it over in October.
No reasons have been given for the contract termination.
The Pendyffryn Medical Group in Prestatyn terminated its contract in September citing a failure to recruit new doctors.
In December, a GP in nearby Rhuddlan terminated her contract, blaming the challenges and pressures of growing demands.
The health board will run the practices from April.

SATS results for all Year 6 students at Wentworth Primary Church of England School were annulled following an investigation by the Standards and Testing Agency (STA).
The chair of governors maintained pupils' education was unaffected.
The STA said "maladministration" of the tests was "completely unacceptable".
In a letter to parents Jane Collier, chair of governors, said: "Allegations were made to the STA that children had been over-aided during the test and the findings from the review of test papers showed amendments to answers had been made which were in line with the allegations.
"This means your child will not receive any results for the examinations taken this term."
Ms Collier stated the school's management and governing body were "very disappointed by this and share your frustrations in this matter".
She reassured parents all pupils would transfer to secondary school "without any prejudice".
"We have been assured by Rotherham Council that the secondary schools this school feeds into do their own assessments for children anyway when they enter year seven in September."
An investigator will be appointed "from outside of the borough" to lead a joint independent review with the council and Diocese of Sheffield.
One parent, who did not wish to be named, said she had "lost faith" in the school's management team.
"I'm absolutely appalled and disgusted," she said.
"Our children have worked really hard all year and have got nothing to show for it."
A STA spokesperson said: "Following an investigation into the administration of the 2016 Key Stage 2 tests at Wentworth Church of England Junior and Infant School, ‎all results have been annulled."

The Indian businessman said both drivers were under contract for 2017.
Mallya added: "They are a fine pair, both absolutely top class. I always try to hire the best drivers we can afford. I am very happy with 'Checo' and Nico."
Perez had been linked with Ferrari, who announced on Friday they had re-signed Kimi Raikkonen as Sebastian Vettel's team-mate for 2017.
Mallya, who cannot travel as a result of his passport being suspended because of a financial dispute with Indian authorities, said: "Of course today's announcement by Ferrari put to rest a lot of speculation that had been taking place over the last few weeks."

Briton Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson's yet-to-be titled film will focus on Jamie Vardy and his journey from factory worker to top scoring striker.
Leicester City club beat 5000/1 odds to win the Premier League earlier this year.
"The story represents everything we love in a movie," Tamasy told Deadline.
Johnson added: "This is more than a sports film, it's a once-in-a-lifetime story about the fulfilment of impossible dreams and the strength of the human spirit.
"It's also a hell of a lot of fun. I'm extremely excited and proud to be a part of it."
The pair were nominated for the best original screenplay Oscar for David O Russell's 2010 biographical sports drama.
They lost out to David Seidler who wrote The King's Speech, which was coincidentally produced by Bedlam Productions - the same company behind the Leicester City film.
"We saw and heard first hand how highly respected and talented they both are - we very much wanted to find a way we might work together," Bedlam's Simon Egan said.
It is not known when the film will start production, nor when casting will begin.

The dispute has been going on for some time and previous strikes have caused disruption for thousands of passengers.
Thursday's cancelled strike would have inconvenienced thousands more who are expected to travel into the city to celebrate the national holiday.
Broadcaster RTÉ said staff from three out of four grades accepted pay offers.
Luas workers will be balloted on the latest proposals next week, but sufficient agreement was reached to avoid the 17 March strike.
The breakthrough followed lengthy, overnight talks between Transdev - the private company that operates the Luas - and workers' representatives from the Services, Industrial, Professional and Technical Union (Siptu).
It was reported last month that some workers were seeking pay rises of up to 53%, which Transdev described as unsustainable.

The 18-month-old girl fell from a window on Ryland House in Great Hampton Row in Hockley, Birmingham, on Monday.
"Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save her," said West Midlands Ambulance Service.
The death is being treated as unexplained and a post-mortem examination is due to take place, said West Midlands Police.

Birmingham City Council confirmed the tower block is owned by the authority and the girl was not known to social services.
A spokesman declined to comment further while police investigate.
A shop owner, who wanted to remain anonymous, said he heard screaming and at first thought it was a fight, until he came out and learnt of the tragedy.
"People are very, very sad - they are feeling it very bad. I don't know the family, they might have been new to the area," he said.
He described the area as a mix of Jamaican and Somali communities and added they were "close" and had "a good relationship with each other".

Andrew RT Davies was speaking to BBC Wales, following a meeting of the 11 Conservative AMs on Monday.
He said it was the "unanimous view of the group" that he should stay, and he had the backing of MPs and activists.
Tory sources had raised concerns about the leadership, after the party lost three AMs in Cardiff Bay on 5 May.
The Conservatives made gains in every previous assembly poll and enjoyed a successful general election in 2015.
Mr Davies said the decision had been "made for me".
"The unanimous view of the group is for me to continue, the MPs have given their view that I should continue, the activists have given their view that I should continue," he said.
"The party chairman has given his view that I should continue.
"I shall continue in the role as long as I feel that there is a role for me to play, but don't be under any illusions if I believe that there is a better alternative who can take can take us forward into other areas, I will hand the baton on."
A former challenger to Mr Davies has said he would have resigned after the party's election result if he had been in charge.
Nick Ramsay said he was happy to back Mr Davies as leader, but if it had been him he would have acted differently.

Three men were hurt in the "targeted attack" in Cardowan, near Glasgow, when vehicles were set alight and a village street left resembling a "war zone".
Detectives now believe an incident an hour earlier, in which men in two other vehicles tried to block in a Ford Transit van, could be connected.
The van was later stolen and used in Sunday's Cardowan attack.
Det Insp David Reilly said: "What we know now is that around 12:30 on Sunday 5 June 2016, a 46-year-old man was driving his silver Transit van on Cumbernauld Road, Riddrie, when two cars, a blue BMW X6 4x4 and a white saloon car, each with three male occupants, tried to block him in.
"He managed to turn his vehicle around and speed off north along Cumbernauld Road over the motorway and towards Gartloch Road in Ruchazie where he lost the two other cars who had been pursuing him."
The van was later stolen from a street in Ruchazie.
The 46-year-old was one of the three men later attacked in Cardowan when his van was used to ram another Ford Transit van before its occupants were assaulted.
Det Inp Reilly added: "I am pretty sure, especially at this time of day and the fact that the van, which had ladders on the roof, crossed over on to the wrong side of Cumbernauld Road to get away, that someone would have either have had to swerve to avoid the van or would have at least seen the incident happen.
"If you did, then please contact police.
"The BMW and its owner have since been traced and inquiries are continuing in that regard, however, we still need information about the white saloon car." | Police have said an attack on three men in North Lanarkshire may be linked to an earlier road rage incident. | 36508086 |
Jason Gates, 39, from Portsmouth, was reported missing on 17 March after his pet dog was found on farmland close to Drumnadrochit, near Loch Ness.
Portsmouth Coroner's Court was told Mr Gates died as a result of "paradoxical undressing" which caused him to strip off his clothes thinking he was hot.
Coroner David Horsley recorded a verdict of accidental death,
He said: "When people start to develop hypothermia they are actually cold but they feel hot and take their clothes off.
"I am entirely satisfied that Jason has died due to an accident."
Described by his family as a "gentle giant" he had gone on the walking holiday after suffering from stress at work.

The 31-year-old made his first Gunners appearance since November 2015 in a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, but a hamstring injury forced him off after 16 minutes.
"I have to speak to medical people, but you can only assess it really after 48 hours," said Wenger.
"You have to let it bleed and usually they have an MRI scan 48 hours later to see how big the damage is."
Two goals from Alexis Sanchez and one from Theo Walcott gave Wenger's men victory over the Cherries.

Debuchy's previous outing for Arsenal came when he was a late substitute in a Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb before he went on loan to French club Bordeaux.
He played 70 minutes for the Arsenal Under-23s before Sunday's game.
"When I picked the squad, I imagined that something could happen to Debuchy because he's had many setbacks," said Wenger.
"He is devastated. He is such a great guy and puts such a commitment into his daily preparation.
"He started very well and was sharp. He did it on a backheel pass that is quite dangerous for the hamstring."
Arsenal had drawn against Tottenham, Manchester United and Paris St-Germain - the first two of those results in the Premier League - before the win over Bournemouth.
"We are happy," said Wenger. "To win for us was vital because it was after the Champions League and as well because we didn't win for a few games.

Financial consultant Bhavita Patel, 33, died on Monday night, 10 days after the incident in the city's centre.
Police allege Dimitrious Gargasoulas, 26, drove his car into pedestrians in Bourke St Mall, killing six people and injuring 36 others.
"My parents and I are broken," Ms Patel's brother, Mitesh, told the Herald Sun newspaper on Wednesday.
"But we all appreciate the love we're getting from people."
Four of those killed have been named as three-month-old Zachary Bryant, Thalia Hakin, 10, Matthew Si, 33, and Jess Mudie, 22. Another victim, a 25-year-old man, has not been identified.
Police said the incident was not terror-related.
Mr Patel told the newspaper his sister had a successful career with the accountancy firm Deloitte.
He said he spoke to her regularly, including on the day of the incident.
"She was cherished by so many people and we have been overwhelmed by the love and support from family and friends," Mr Patel said.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said grave concerns were held for one of the seven survivors still in hospital.

Patients will now be taken to the £430m Southmead Hospital after Frenchay's A&E - some four miles away - closed overnight.
Frenchay first opened in the 1920s and was used by American troops during the Second World War.
Juliette Hughes, a matron at the department, said it was "emotional" to leave but "like moving house".
"You've got all those happy memories and things that you are leaving behind," she said.
"When you walk out of your old home it feels really sad. And yet we've come [to Southmead] and I feel really excited to be in my new home."
Work on the Brunel building at Southmead Hospital - alongside the current hospital - was completed in March.
Since then departments have gradually been moving from the old buildings nearby and from Frenchay.
The hospital in due be be fully operational at the end of May.
Frenchay will then fully close and will be replaced by a community facility.

Gayle Newland was jailed for eight years on 12 November after being convicted of three sexual assaults.
The 25-year-old, of Willaston, Cheshire, demanded her victim wear a blindfold when they met and used a prosthetic penis during the assaults.
Newland previously applied for leave to appeal against her conviction.
That appeal will be heard before judges at London's Court of Appeal and, if successful will make her sentence appeal redundant.
However, if the second appeal is heard it could result in her jail term being raised or lowered.
During Newland's four-day trial, Chester Crown Court heard she and her victim spent more than 100 hours with each other, in hotels and the victim's flat.
The deception was only uncovered when the victim ripped off her blindfold to see Newland.
Newland had fooled her victim by posing as a man called Kye Fortune, using a bogus Facebook account, wearing an elaborate disguise and insisting the blindfold was worn throughout meetings.
In mitigation, Newland told the court her accuser was fully aware she was a woman and that they both struggled with their sexuality.
She maintained the pair were engaged in consensual "role play" and "fantasy". | A woman who was jailed after posing as a man to dupe a friend into having sex with her has lodged an appeal against her sentence. | 34901925 |
