Most media outlets across the globe say that Hillary Clinton won the third and final US presidential candidates' televised debate with Donald Trump.

Several express concern at Mr Trump's claim that the election will be rigged and at his threat that he may refuse to accept the outcome if he loses.
These concerns are summed up succinctly by a headline in France's Le Point: "Trump can no longer win, but can refuse to admit defeat".
Spain's El Mundo says that Mr Trump's aggressive attitude during the debate "once again made Clinton a winner 'by default' over her rival".
The paper adds that Mr Trump's suggestion that he could refuse to accept the election result is likely to overshadow the remaining days of the campaign, and predicts that his remark will not help his cause.
Massimo Gaggi comments in Italy's Corriere Della Sera that Mr Trump is now "one step away from the abyss".
Mr Gaggi writes that it had earlier seemed that Mr Trump could not do his campaign any more harm. However, "on Wednesday night Trump managed it, openly threatening to provoke an institutional crisis without precedent by refusing to accept defeat if Hillary beats him".
In Germany, Christoph von Marschall writes in Berlin's Tagesspiegel that "We are used to such things... from states with authoritarian governments. But not from western democracies!"
He is in no doubt over who emerged as the winner of the debate: "Trump is not an equal partner when it comes to objective argument. He can only curse and rant - and dole out insults."
The pattern is repeated in the Middle Eastern press, with many papers seeing Mrs Clinton as now having a clear lead over her rival.
The UAE's Al-Bayan daily says that "Clinton surpasses Trump", while the Libyan news website Al-Mostakbal declares: "Clinton ahead of Trump three weeks before elections".
A commentary by Hesham Melhom in Lebanon's Al-Nahar focuses on Trump's "unfounded" allegations that elections will be rigged against him: "Trump is trying to prepare himself for losing, intimidate the Democrats and spread a climate of tension to dissuade voters from going to the polls".
Boaz Bismuth writes in the Israeli daily Yisrael Hayom: "There is no doubt that the road to the White House today seems easier for Hillary Clinton."
However, a gloomy analysis in the left-of-centre Israeli broadsheet Ha'aretz says that even if Trump is heavily defeated in the election, "the darkness is already here... liberal democracy is under attack."
The Russian business channel RBC TV says the debate "was again won by Hillary Clinton", an opinion shared by the Gazeta.ru news website.
"Clinton demonstrated her iron self-control", it writes. "Trump... lost all his energy. He kept silent more often and attacked less."
The pro-Kremlin business website Expert Online thinks the two candidates fought a draw: "A great majority of polls still show that Clinton is beating Trump... But Trump is obviously winning on social networks."
Russian TV station, Rossiya 24, focuses on the mention of President Putin: "It took Hillary Clinton less than 30 minutes to once again accuse Russia of committing cyber attacks against the USA and Donald Trump of liking the Russian leader", it reports.
China's Global Times says that the candidates' final encounter "looked more like a fight than a debate" .

Teenagers injured in the Smiler crash at Alton Towers have described students who apparently dressed up as the victims as "disgusting".

The University of Nottingham students made their fancy dress outfits for a bar crawl then posed for photos for student news site The Tab.
Victim Joe Pugh tweeted a link to the article and his girlfriend Leah Washington, who had her leg amputated, also tweeted in reference to it.
The students have since apologised.
The University of Nottingham Students' Union claimed the costume was "in no way intended to reference the tragedy" at Alton Towers.
However, the reporter who wrote the article said some of the students were wearing fake amputated legs.
The university itself said it "expects to receive a full report" from the students' union.
The Tab reporter Joseph Archer, who wrote the article with colleague Claire Anderson, said the students were happy to pose for photos.
"They wanted their pictures taken; they wanted to be in The Tab," he said.
"They got into the formation of The Smiler ride and on the back row they had limbs hanging off."
Joe Pugh, from Barnsley in South Yorkshire, tweeted a link to the story and said: "How awful and disrespectful can people get? Disgusting."
Mr Archer and his colleague were taking photos of several groups of students on a bar crawl called the "7 Legged" on Monday night.
The students called themselves the "7 Legless".
Mr Archer said they had stuffed some old jeans to make fake amputated legs.
In a statement, the University of Nottingham Students' Union, said: "The costume was in no way intended to reference the tragedy that occurred on the Smiler roller coaster at Alton Towers.
"Its design was based on a traditional concept that has existed for several years and no reference was made to the Smiler by the students involved.
"The students involved further wish to apologise unreservedly to those affected by the Smiler incident for any offence or distress they may have unwittingly caused."
The University of Nottingham said it had "liaised closely" with the students' union since it became aware of the conduct of those attending the event.
"The university is aware of the SU's initial investigations regarding this matter and its media statement issued today," it said.
"The university expects to receive a full report from the SU on the conduct of the event on 17 October and the future of the event itself."
Sixteen people were injured in the crash in June 2015, including Ms Washington and Vicky Balch, who both needed leg amputations.
Alton Towers operator Merlin was fined Â£5m after admitting breaching the Health and Safety Act.
Mr Archer has spoken to the students since the photos were published, but said they did not want to comment.


Russia's Vladimir Putin has called for the resumption of talks with North Korea as tensions on the peninsula continue to escalate.

Speaking in Moscow, where he met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, he urged those involved to "refrain from using belligerent rhetoric".
Mr Putin said both wanted to see "peaceful, constructive dialogue" between the opposing parties.
Relations between North Korea and the US have plunged in recent weeks.
The two countries have traded angry words and threats as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un persists with missile tests, despite repeated warnings to stop.
This week, the US announced it was set to activate a missile defence system in South Korea "within days", and tighten sanctions against the secretive state.
It came after President Donald Trump announced the US was sending a naval carrier group to patrol the Korean peninsula.
North Korea, meanwhile, threatened to launch a "super-mighty pre-emptive strike" against what it called US aggression.
North Korea is also believed to be on the verge of conducting another nuclear bomb test.
Washington fears it could develop a nuclear device small enough to fit on a long-range missile which could reach the US, though some experts say this is some way off.
But if North Korea did decide to launch a missile attack, neighbours South Korea and Japan could be targeted.
Mr Abe is keen to ensure the situation does not deteriorate further.
Speaking on Thursday, Mr Putin said:  "In my opinion, and in the opinion of the prime minister, the situation on the Korean peninsula has unfortunately got a lot worse.
"We call on all governments involved in regional matters to refrain from using belligerent rhetoric and to strive for peaceful constructive dialogue."


General Electric's financing arm - GE Capital- has asked regulators to remove it from the list of institutions deemed "too big to fail" after having shrunk the size of its business.

GE said it no longer posed "any conceivable threat to US financial stability".
US regulators labelled GE Capital a systemically important financial institution (SIFI) in 2013.
SIFIs fall under stricter regulations to protect the financial system.
The label is given by a group of US regulators - known as the Financial Stability Oversight Council- which includes the US Treasury Department and Federal Reserve.
Most SIFIs are banks such as JP Morgan and Citigroup, but the FSOC has labelled a number of institutions in this category, including insurance firms and non-bank lenders.
A spokesperson from the US Treasury Department said in a statement, "The council's authority to designate nonbank financial companies is a critical tool to address potential threats to financial stability."
The spokesperson said there was a "clear process for de-designation" but gave no timeline for addressing GE's application.
The SIFI designation was developed as part of the 2010 Wall Street reforms, after the US public was forced to bailout Wall Street banks and insurer AIG.
The label is given to institutions whose collapse could have a significant impact on the financial system and the economy.  It requires them to hold excess funds to protect against a collapse.
The government argued that because insurance firms and non-bank lenders have ties to many other financial institutions and hold large amounts of financial obligations, their collapse could be detrimental to the US economy.
GE announced in April 2015 that it would be reducing the size of GE Capital and focusing on industrial and manufacturing financing.
"Our plan to change our business model, shrink the company and reduce our risk profile has been successful," said GE Capital chief executive, Keith Sherin.
"We believe GE Capital no longer meets the criteria to be designated as a SIFI and we look forward to working co-operatively and constructively with the FSOC through the rescission process," he said.
On Wednesday, US insurance firm MetLife won a court battle to remove its "too big to fail" label.
MetLife filed a lawsuit in 2015 arguing the regulators had violated their own rules when it placed the insurer in the same category as large banks.
"From the beginning, MetLife has said that its business model does not pose a threat to the financial stability of the United States. This decision is a win for MetLife's customers, employees and shareholders," Steven Kandarian, MetLife's chief executive said in a statement.
The decision was a blow to regulators and could mean more non-bank SIFIs appeal against the "too big to fail" tag in court, rather than reducing their size like GE.
The Treasury Department said on Wednesday that it "strongly disagreed" with the judges decision.
"We are confident that FSOC's determination was lawful and will continue to defend the Council's designations process vigorously," a spokesperson said.


A man with a machete has been arrested in Cardiff city centre after a row between two motorists.

Two people are in custody after the row on the corner of Saunders Road, Penarth Road and St Mary Street at 15:00 BST.
A 27-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of affray and a 19-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of using threatening behaviour.
There were no injuries and police said it was not linked to Justin Bieber's concert at the Principality Stadium.
The arrests were made about 400 metres (1312ft) from the stadium, where about 40,000 people are expected for the Canadian singer's Purpose World Tour.
Chf Insp Justin Evans tweeted: "Man arrested in Cardiff in possession of a machete. To be clear - a dispute between 2 people and is not linked to the Justin Bieber concert."
South Wales Police said it was an isolated incident that had been resolved.


A man has been charged after police recovered £10,000 worth of cannabis from a property in Grangemouth.

Police Scotland said the Class B drug was seized from an address in Hawthorn Street on 27 February following an "intelligence-led operation."
A 63-year-old man was arrested and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Insp Christopher Stewart said information from the local community played a "crucial role" in the raid.
He said: "This latest recovery again demonstrates our ongoing commitment to tackling drug crime in Forth Valley."


Wales has hit its first annual statutory waste target by recycling more than 50% of rubbish collected by councils, the Welsh government has confirmed.

Local authorities recycled or composted 52% of waste they gathered between April 2012 and March this year.
By March 2013 Denbighshire had the highest recycling rate with 58%, while Bridgend and Caerphilly had hit 57%.
A second statutory recycling target of 58% is set for 2015-16.
Natural Resources Minister Alun Davies said black bin waste had been cut by more than half over the last decade.
"As a government we will continue to support local authorities as they work with us towards zero waste by 2050," he said.
"In particular, we will be working proactively with those councils that need more support to increase their recycling rates."
He added Wales was leading the way on recycling.
"Our aim of zero waste to landfill by 2050 is a bold one, and there is more work to be done, but I'm very encouraged and proud of the progress we are making," Mr Davies said.


An aid ship intercepted by the Israeli military while trying to break the blockade of Gaza has arrived in the Israeli port of Ashdod.

Israel says its soldiers boarded the Irish-owned Rachel Corrie from the sea and did not meet any resistance.
There has been no word from those on board, who include several activists.
The incident comes five days after nine people were killed in clashes when troops boarded a Turkish aid ship, prompting international criticism.
Turkish officials have released details of autopsies carried out on the nine dead activists, saying a total of 30 bullets had been found in their bodies.
One of the activists was shot four times in the head, the officials said.
The BBC's Jonathan Head in Istanbul says some of the details seem to contradict the Israeli assertion that their commandos used minimum lethal force.
The crew and activists from the Rachel Corrie are being questioned at Ben Gurion airport while Israeli officials try to organise their deportation.
Israel said it would transfer the aid to the Gaza Strip by land after checking the cargo for banned items.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the peaceful outcome to the operation.
"We saw today the difference between a ship of peace activists, with whom we don't agree but respect their right to a different opinion from ours, and between a ship of hate organised by violent Turkish terror extremists," Mr Netanyahu's office quoted him as saying.
Mary Hughes Thompson, a co-founder of the Free Gaza Movement which organised the shipment, told the BBC she was "outraged" by the latest Israeli action.
"They [the Israelis] once again went into international water and violently boarded a boat and forced people against their will to go to Israel, when all we wanted was to be left to go to Gaza, which is our goal," she said.
She added that further aid shipments to Gaza would be organised.
There are five Irish and six Malaysian pro-Palestinian activists, plus several crew, on the boat.
The Rachel Corrie is named after a US college student who was crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer as she protested over house demolitions in Gaza in 2003.
Israel has blockaded Gaza since 2007, when the Islamist Hamas movement took control of the territory.
The 1,200 tonne cargo ship was boarded about 16 nautical miles (30km) off the Israeli coast.

Your say: Was interception right?
Hague 'glad' of peaceful boarding
Israeli military spokeswoman Lt Col Avital Leibovich said the takeover took minutes, and the ship's captain had gathered the passengers in one area of the vessel.
Footage taken by the Israeli military from a helicopter above the Rachel Corrie showed the activists sitting in the middle of the top deck.
The Cyprus-based Free Gaza Movement is a coalition of pro-Palestinian groups and human rights organisations.
The Rachel Corrie is carrying hundreds of tonnes of aid, including wheelchairs, medical supplies and cement. Construction materials are banned from entering Gaza by Israel, which says they could be used for military purposes by Hamas.
Israel came under fierce criticism after its troops shot dead nine people during a violent confrontation with those on board the Turkish Mavi Marmara in the early hours of Monday
Israel says its commandos were attacked with weapons, including knives, and opened fire in self-defence. Activists on the ship say troops shot at them without provocation.
Israel says its policies towards Gaza will not change while Hamas remains in power and while rockets continue to be fired from Gaza into Israel.
Protests over Israeli action against Gaza aid shipments were held in several cities around the world on Saturday, including Dublin, London, Istanbul, Paris and Cairo.
There were also clashes in Tel Aviv between government supporters and protesters angry at the flotilla attack.


Lions coach Warren Gatland says Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray must play a game for Munster to make the tour of New Zealand this summer.

The 27-year-old has been sidelined since sustaining a neck/shoulder injury against Wales last month.
Gatland named Murray in his squad on Wednesday but revealed the player had suffered a setback in his recovery.
"He's going to need to play before he gets on the plane - that's important for us," said Gatland.
Gatland added that Murray has met with a neurologist over a nerve issue and is ruled out of Munster's European Champions Cup semi-final against Saracens on Saturday.
Munster also have a maximum of four Pro12 games remaining for Murray to get back in action.
"He's got a nerve issue and it is a concern. I spoke to the doctor. He was hoping to be fit this week but he had a setback a couple of weeks ago," said Gatland.
"I would be reluctant to take someone to New Zealand with a neck injury who hasn't played.
"He's incredibly fit. It's causing him a bit of discomfort and a bit of weakness in his arm, and hopefully he's going to be right in a couple of weeks - the neurologist is confident he is going to be okay."

Leading former judges and lawyers have criticised the government's "slow and narrow" response to the migrant crisis.

Lord Phillips, former UK Supreme Court head, and Lord Macdonald, ex-director of public prosecutions, are among 300 to sign an open letter on the issue.
They say the offer to accept 20,000 refugees over five years is not enough. One retired judge said the UK could cope with taking in 75,000 a year.
The government said it had been at the forefront of the global response.
In addition to offering to accept 20,000 refugees from camps bordering war-torn Syria, it has provided Â£1bn in aid to Syria, with an extra Â£100m given to charities to help thousands of people displaced by the conflict.
Among others to put their name to the open letter to the press is former president of the European Court of Human Rights, Sir Nicolas Bratza.
Signatory Catriona Jarvis, a retired judge, told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme the government's response to the refugee crisis had been "too low, too slow and too narrow".
She said Britain could accept many more refugees.

Migrant crisis: Why is it erupting now?
"Around the Balkan crisis we were receiving around 75,000 a year. It was within our capability. We managed it well," she said.
"We are the sixth or seventh richest country in the world, it is not beyond our capabilities to make the necessary changes to receive our share.
"International protection, it is a shared duty, a shared responsibility."
BBC legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman says it is "highly unusual" for former judges to publicly criticise government policy in such a way.
He said: "Today's statement is weighty and blunt. Blunt in calling the government's response to the refugee crisis 'deeply inadequate' and the offer of 20,000 resettlement places for Syrian refugees over five years 'too low, too slow and too narrow'.
"And weighty because of the signatories. Four former Law Lords, five retired Court of Appeal judges, a former president of the European Court of Human Rights, an ex-director of public prosecutions and 100 QCs who regularly represent the government."

The lawyers and judges are calling for the establishment of safe, legal routes into the EU.
One way of doing this would be to create a system of "humanitarian visas" so that refugees did not have to undertake dangerous journeys to reach Europe.
They claimed that people with a moral right to protection were being driven into the hands of people smugglers.
Pushpinder Saini QC, who regularly advises and represents the government, said: "The letter reflects profound concern in the legal profession... that the government lacks a coherent, just or humane response to the refugee crisis.
"As a nation which once had the foremost reputation as a safe haven for refugees, we have lost our way."
Sir Stephen Sedley, former Lord Justice of the Court of Appeal, said: "As a stable and prosperous country, we can do better than this."
The letter also calls for the suspension of the so-called Dublin system, which means asylum seekers must claim asylum in the first EU country in which they arrive.
The lawyers said "in certain member states, particularly at the EU's periphery, reception conditions have collapsed and determination procedures are rudimentary".
The first of the Syrian refugees arrived in the UK at the end of September.
Eventually the UK will have to take about 400 refugees a month in order to meet its 20,000 target by 2020.
The refugees will be brought to the UK from camps in countries neighbouring Syria, with those being resettled selected by the UN on the basis of need.


France employees are getting the legal right to avoid work emails outside working hours.

The new law, which has been dubbed the "right to disconnect", comes into force on 1 January.
Companies with more than 50 workers will be obliged to draw up a charter of good conduct, setting out the hours when staff are not supposed to send or answer emails.
France has a working week of 35 hours, in place since 2000.
Supporters of the new law say that employees who are expected to check and reply to their work emails out of hours are not being paid fairly for their overtime, and that the practice carries a risk of stress, burnout, sleep problems and relationship difficulties.
The measure is part of a set of labour laws introduced in May.
It was the only one of the laws - which also made it easier for firms to hire and fire employees - that did not generate widespread protest and strikes.
Some private companies have previously tried to put limits on their employees' use of work email outside working hours.
For instance, in 2014, the German vehicle-maker Daimler set up an optional service for workers going on holiday; instead of sending an out-of-office reply, they could opt to have all new emails automatically deleted while they were away.


Wasps comfortably defeated Northampton Saints in difficult conditions to win at Franklin's Gardens for the first time since 2005.

Scrum-half Dan Robson scored Wasps' first try when he found a gap and touched down on the post before Rob Miller crossed from close in.
Josh Bassett's score helped make it 24-3 to the visitors at the break.
Sam Dickinson scored in the corner for Saints in the second half, but Wasps go above them in the Premiership table.
Both sides came into the match on the back of reaching the European Champions Cup quarter-finals thanks to impressive victories last weekend.
But Saints, who made seven changes from their win over Scarlets, struggled to cope with a Wasps team who dealt with the wet conditions better to climb to fifth.
After Robson's impressive score, the visitors increased their lead to 17-0 on 25 minutes when Miller evaded Harry Mallinder's challenge to cross.
Wasps' decision not to pick international quartet Matt Mullan, Elliot Daly, Bradley Davies and Lorenzo Cittadini, despite all having been made available by their countries, looked to have paid dividends when full-back Miller turned provider for Bassett to score a try in just his second appearance of the season.
Stephen Myler kicked Saints' only points of the half, and he was on the scoreboard again after an infringement by Nathan Hughes which led to him being sin-binned.
But Saints failed to score with the numerical advantage, and in a scrappy second half only went over late on when Dickinson finished in the left-hand corner.
Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder:
"We were hoping we'd turned a bit of a corner in Europe. We'd put in two good performances, scored some good tries and we needed to back it up.
"But that first half was unacceptable. Our defence was poor, we had no line speed whatsoever, we couldn't get our set-piece functioning at all, and so we gave our backs nothing to work from.
"Just generally, we looked flat as a team. We made a couple of changes, as did they. You come off a couple of games in Europe and you look to freshen things up, but clearly their changes worked better than ours.
"We've had losses before, as every team does, and you really have to look at yourselves."
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young:
"I couldn't be happier. We spoke about backing it (the Leinster win) up and there were a lot of players out there who haven't had as much rugby as they would have liked.
"But you're only as good as your squad and it's important that when boys get a chance, they stand up and take it. They certainly did that tonight.
"I thought we were excellent and, from the word go, we really came out of the blocks. We thoroughly deserved our win."
Northampton Saints: Mallinder; Elliott, Pisi, Burrell, Collins; Myler, Kessell; Waller, Haywood, Brookes, Paterson, Matfield, Wood (capt), Harrison, Dickinson.
Replacements: Williams, Waller, Denman, Craig, Day, Dickson, Hanrahan, Wilson.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has said he will talk all parties including his party's biggest rival, Fianna Fáil, in a bid to form a new government.

No party won enough seats in Friday's general election to govern alone.
The final two seats in the 158-member parliament (Dáil) have yet to be won, but Mr Kenny's Fine Gael remains the biggest party with at least 49 seats.
It has a very narrow lead over its former civil war enemy, Fianna Fáil, which will have at least 44 seats.
The two largest parties in the Republic of Ireland both have their roots in the bitter 11-month conflict that broke out in June 1922, just months after the island of Ireland was partitioned.
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have dominated Irish politics since the early 1930s but they have never been in a formal coalition.
At present, any new government will needs the support of nearly 80 elected members (called Teachtaí Dála or TDs) and both of the biggest parties are more than 30 seats short of the target.
Mr Kenny remains as prime minister (taoiseach) in a caretaker capacity until he or other party leaders gain enough support to form a ruling coalition.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Mr Kenny said it had been a "bruising election" for his party but he would continue to seek to provide a new government in the interests of the Irish people.
"The numbers in the Dail (parliament) in the way that they're now falling through make it difficult to put forward a proposition for government," he said.
"As the leader of the largest party, and as the taoiseach it's my responsibility to work to see that that process is put in place, and that includes talking to the Fianna Fáil party."
The prime minister also added: "No one wants a second election."


High Street retail giant Marks and Spencer has reported its first rise in annual profits for four years, saying it has made "good progress".

Underlying profit before tax rose 6.1% to £661.2m for the year to 28 March, better than analysts' forecasts.
Its food business had an "outstanding year", M&S said, but sales of general merchandise - which includes clothing - were below expectations.
However, sales of womenswear rose in the final quarter.
Chief executive Marc Bolland told the BBC's Today Programme that the improved results came despite the most difficult retail market in 15 years.
He also said that the company was confident in the strength of its clothing range.
"We've never had more design capability," Mr Bolland said.
Profits are up at Marks and Spencer - but at a cost.
Capital expenditure on modernising shops and an online revamp has fallen to £526m for the year compared to £710m last year. But it still totals over £3bn in the last five years.
Compare that to £700m at Next over the same period.
M&S investors will be pleased that gross margins are improving, meaning that M&S is resorting to fewer money-off promotions to drive sales. Dividends are also up.
But there are still major question marks over the vital womenswear department. Yes, the final quarter of the year saw sales up, but online problems over Christmas and the third warmest autumn on record all weighed heavily on sales over the year, which were down.
The chief executive, Marc Bolland, knows that he has to show consistent growth in womenswear before he can pronounce "job done".
Like-for-like sales - which strip out changes in store space - of general merchandise fell 3.1% over the year.
M&S said it had suffered from the mild weather last autumn - the third warmest on record - which had hit sales of knitwear and coats.
However, it said sales had returned to growth in the January-to-March period. It also said profit margins had seen "strong improvement".
Food sales rose 0.6% on a like-for-like basis, and despite intense competition, M&S said it had outperformed the market.
Online sales were down 2% over the year, with M&S being hit by problems at its distribution centre over the key Christmas trading period. However, sales increased in the fourth quarter.
M&S said it was raising its dividend by 5.9% and also announced a £150m share buyback programme.
Analysts broadly welcomed the news.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, said: "The increase in the dividend and the announcement of a share buyback programme are both supportive and indicative of future confidence in prospects, whilst the company also continues to bear down on costs."
Shares in Marks and Spencer were up 2p, or .34%, at 587.50p in afternoon trade.

The West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Bob Jones has died "in his sleep" aged 59.

Mr Jones, from Wolverhampton, was elected to the role as a Labour candidate in November 2012.
He courted controversy when he called for PCCs to be scrapped, but also lent his support to several campaigns while occupying the role.
An election to fill the vacancy left by Mr Jones' death is expected to be held in the coming weeks.
His widow Sarah said her husband was a "warm and wonderful man".
"Nothing was more important to Bob than his family which he loved with a passion," she said.
"He was a very special man who will terribly missed by his loved ones and I'm sure by the many people whose lives he touched in public service."
Mr Jones's deputy Yvonne Mosquito confirmed he died on Tuesday morning, describing his death as a "huge loss" to policing.
"Bob was a dear friend and a deeply committed public servant," she said.
"All our thoughts are with Bob's wife Sarah and his family at this sad time."
Mr Jones served as a Labour councillor in Wolverhampton for 33 years and was also a member of the West Midlands Police Authority.
By Patrick BurnsPolitical editor, Midlands
"The untimely death at the age of 59 of the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Bob Jones, has brought about the first departure from office of any of the commissioners who were elected in November 2012.
The government's big idea in triggering PCC elections was to replace the old police authorities (considered by ministers to be invisible and ineffective) with high-profile figures, who would be directly accountable to local communities.
During his relatively brief time in office, Bob Jones nevertheless put his own distinctive stamp on the job, not least through the increased police precept added to council tax bills, to help fund a police recruitment initiative which reversed years of declining numbers in the West Midlands force."
In 2010 he was awarded a CBE for services to policing.
Wolverhampton City Council leader Roger Lawrence said Mr Jones "was a great public servant to Wolverhampton".
"He will be greatly missed," he said.
Flags outside Wolverhampton Civic Centre were flown at half-mast in remembrance of Mr Jones.
Staffordshire's Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Ellis, said Mr Jones had succeeded in "fundamentally changing and improving the way the police engaged with local people".
"Although we didn't share the same philosophies, I liked Bob very much as a person and will miss the banter we had on so many occasions," he said.
"He was never afraid to speak his mind, even if this sometimes caused him to be in a minority of one among PCCs."
At one point "Bob Jones" was trending on Twitter UK as people posted tributes.
Labour MP for Erdington Jack Dromey tweeted: "Deeply saddened to hear the death of West Mids PCC, Bob Jones, a great champion of all that is best in British Policing & a very decent man."
Former mayor of Wolverhampton Phil Bateman added: "Bob Jones A Great loss, truly shocked, a man of huge integrity, and taken before his time. Making a job he didn't want successful!"
John McNicholas, chairman of transport authority Centro, said he was "shocked and saddened" at this news and added: "Bob Jones was totally committed to the communities of the West Midlands and he will be greatly missed."
A book of condolence has been opened at West Midlands Police's Lloyd House headquarters.
The first signatories were Bob Jones' deputy Yvonne Mosquito and West Midlands Police Chief Constable Chris Sims.
Mr Sims described Mr Jones as an "outstanding politician" and praised his "unrivalled" knowledge of policy.
"I shall miss his counsel, his obdurate commitment and sense of service to the people of the West Midlands," he said.
An online book of condolences was also available on the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner website.
In his spare time Mr Jones was campaigning strategy director for the Campaign for Real Ale.


Technology firms will get "exclusive access" to details of the CIA's cyber-warfare programme, Wikileaks has said.

The anti-secrecy website has published thousands of the US spy agency's secret documents, including what it says are the CIA's hacking tools.
Founder Julian Assange said that, after some thought, he had decided to give the tech community further leaks first.
"Once the material is effectively disarmed, we will publish additional details," Mr Assange said.
US federal agencies have launched a criminal investigation into the release of the documents.
In response to the revelations, CIA spokeswoman Heather Fritz Horniak told the BBC: "As we've said previously, Julian Assange is not exactly a bastion of truth and integrity.
"Despite the efforts of Assange and his ilk, CIA continues to aggressively collect foreign intelligence overseas to protect America from terrorists, hostile nation states and other adversaries."
Microsoft told the BBC: "We've seen Julian Assange's statement and have not yet been contacted.
"Our preferred method for anyone with knowledge of security issues, including the CIA or Wikileaks, is to submit details to us at secure@microsoft.com so we can review information and take any necessary steps to protect customers."

CIA faces huge problem over malware claims
In the first tranche of leaks, Wikileaks alleged that the CIA had developed what Mr Assange called "a giant arsenal" of malware to attack "all the systems that average people use".
Tech firms, including Google and Apple, have said that they are developing counter-measures to combat any malware that the CIA may have developed.
Mr Assange said that his organisation had "a lot more information on the cyber-weapons programme".
He added that while Wikileaks maintained a neutral position on most of its leaks, in this case it did take a strong stance.
"We want to secure communications technology because, without it, journalists aren't able to hold the state to account," he said.
Mr Assange also claimed that the intelligence service had known for weeks that Wikileaks had access to the material and done nothing about it.
He also spoke more about the Umbrage programme, revealed in the first leaked documents.
He said that a whole section of the CIA is working on Umbrage, a system that attempts to trick people into thinking that they had been hacked by other groups or countries by collecting malware from other nation states, such as Russia.
"The technology is designed to be unaccountable," he said.
He claimed that an anti-virus expert, who was not named, had come forward to say that he believed sophisticated malware that he had previously attributed to Iran, Russia and China, now looked like something that the CIA had developed.
"The type of attack system corresponds to a description we published of that attack system unless of course China has already got hold of these parts of the CIA arsenal and is using it to pretend to be the CIA," said Mr Assange.
He said that the intelligence agency could potentially be causing the tech industry "billions of dollars of damage".


Port Vale have signed midfielder Danny Pugh on a permanent deal and Celtic goalkeeper Leonardo Fasan on loan until the end of the season.

Former Stoke City, Preston and Leeds man Pugh, 34, has moved to Vale Park after his deal at League Two Blackpool was terminated by mutual consent.
He has played 23 times this season and has signed until the end of the term.
Italian Fasan, 23, has yet to make a senior appearance for Celtic, but has regularly played for the Under-23 side.
He comes in after keeper Jak Alnwick left Vale to join Scottish Premiership side Rangers on Monday.

Openers Sam Robson and Nick Gubbins hit centuries as county champions Middlesex made the Essex bowlers toil at Lord's.

Robson (144 not out) and Gubbins (101) shared a 241-run first-wicket stand after an uncontested toss saw the hosts bat first in overcast conditions.
Seamers Jamie Porter and Neil Wagner struggled with the ball, as Robson reached his hundred off 140 balls.
Aaron Beard had Gubbins caught behind on the stroke of tea but bad light saw play end early with Middlesex 255-1.
Under seemingly good bowling conditions, Robson and Gubbins batted flawlessly, as Essex's pace bowlers failed to make the ball swing.
Visiting captain Ryan ten Doeschate turned to spinner Simon Harmer after just nine overs but the move failed to disrupt the batsmen as they ploughed on untroubled.
Robson reached three figures as he edged Ravi Bopara through the vacant second slip position, hitting his 19th four in the process.
The opening stand passed 200 from just 51 overs and Gubbins reached his own milestone off 192 balls before the 23-year-old played back and was caught off an outside edge.
Just a further 24 balls were possible after tea as bad light brought about a premature end with Middlesex firmly in control.


Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson will not attend a European special meeting called to discuss Donald Trump's US election victory.

Mr Johnson has told his EU counterparts to end the "whinge-o-rama" over the result of the presidential race.
A Foreign Office spokesman said he would not go to the meeting on Sunday but would attend a regular Foreign Affairs Council meeting on Monday.
The BBC understands a senior UK official will be sent in his place.
The Foreign Office spokesman said: "The foreign secretary will not attend the meeting convened for Sunday. There is a regular Foreign Affairs Council meeting on Monday where a range of issues can be discussed in the normal way.
"We do not see the need for an additional meeting on Sunday because the US election timetable is long established. An act of democracy has taken place, there is a transition period and we will work with the current and future administrations to ensure the best outcomes for Britain."
What will Trump's foreign policy look like?
Five ways the world could change
The hotel developer who became president
On Friday Mr Johnson said: "With respect to my beloved EU friends and colleagues, I think it is time we snapped out of the general doom and gloom about the result of this election and the collective whinge-o-rama that seems to be going on in some places".
Mr Johnson's remarks are in stark contrast to those of EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
He said Mr Trump's election risked upsetting EU ties with the US "fundamentally and structurally".
He said: "We will need to teach the president-elect what Europe is and how it works", adding that two years would be wasted while Mr Trump "tours a world he doesn't know".
Meanwhile, UKIP interim leader Nigel Farage reportedly met Mr Trump's team when he visited New York's Trump Tower on Saturday, warning there were some "some fences to be mended" between Britain and the president-elect.
He told Fox News Mr Trump would have to deal with Prime Minister Theresa May, despite her top team being "rude" about him.
"Trump is an Anglophile, he understands and recognises what our two great nations have done together between us. And, thank goodness, we are coming towards the end of an American president who loathed Britain," he said.
"One of the things we can do, we can have between us a sensible trade relationship, cut tariffs, we are massive investors in each other's countries. There's a bright future."
Tom Brake, Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesman, accused Mr Johnson of being an "artless diplomat" whose decision to snub the meeting would further damage the UK's relationship with other EU leaders.
He said Mr Trump's election raised "a huge number of questions" for Britain, Europe and the rest of the world, including concerns over potential US protectionism, Nato, Russian president Vladimir Putin and Syria.
"We face a difficult period for UK foreign relations and having this artless diplomat in charge of proceedings puts us on the back foot," he added.
Following his victory Mr Trump spoke with Mrs May. A Downing Street spokesman said they agreed that "the US-UK relationship was very important and very special and that building on this would be a priority for them both".
But a senior member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Social Democrat coalition partner, Axel Schafer, said the PM's hope that Mr Trump will look favourably on the UK would come to nothing.
Mr Schafer told The Times: "What changed is the likelihood of a speedy and preferential trade deal between the UK and US. Even before Tuesday the chances were rather low, now the hope for this kind of deal seems delusional."


Spain has attracted arguably the three brightest lights of world football, with Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid and Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Neymar all plying their skills in La Liga.

Over the past year, football fans have become used to seeing the trio caught up in accusations of tax fraud and other financial crimes by the Spanish courts.
And they are not the only players in the crosshairs of the Spanish judiciary. In 2016, Lionel Messi's Argentina and Barcelona team-mate, Javier Mascherano, received a one-year suspended prison sentence for tax fraud.
Lionel Messi and father Jorge were last year convicted of defrauding the Spanish state of €4.1m (£3.6m; $4.6m) in unpaid taxes on the striker's image rights, controlled by offshore companies in Belize and Uruguay.
The pair were both handed 21-month jail terms in a ruling recently confirmed by Spain's supreme court.
Now the original Barcelona trial court must decide whether the sentences should be suspended in accordance with Spanish custom for first-time offenders whose prison terms do not exceed two years.
Prosecutors have asked for a two-year sentence and a €10m fine for Neymar, who was cleared of fraud but ordered to stand trial over alleged corruption in his 2013 move from Brazilian club Santos to Barcelona.
Now Ronaldo has become the third and final member of the elite La Liga trio to face criminal accusations, after prosecutors announced they were pursuing the 32-year-old former Manchester United man on four counts of tax fraud.
A source close to Ronaldo told the BBC that "he's very sad and really upset" about the allegations. "He doesn't want to stay in Spain. At this moment, he wants to leave," the source said.
Soon after David Beckham joined Real Madrid in 2003, he was able to enjoy a new tax-exemption scheme aimed at attracting foreign talent to Spain across all sectors. That scheme became known as the Beckham Law, when he became one of the first players to sign up to a six-year-long tax ceiling of 24%, roughly half what Spaniards paid on six-figure-plus incomes.
Spain was in the midst of an unprecedented economic boom, a perfect playground for "galacticos" of the likes  of Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo, before the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and the emergence of Barcelona prodigy Lionel Messi.
But in 2010 the Beckham Law was scrapped for salaries of more than €600,000, and since then tax inspectors have begun to wise up to the use of complex financial operations using offshore shell companies to get around  tax laws.
"The line between avoidance and evasion is very fine in these cases. In the past few years Spain's tax agency has intensified its control over footballers and their companies, checking to see if they are mere fronts or whether they are really active economically," explains Carlos Cruzado, president of tax inspectors' union Gestha.
Neymar is the odd one out. His case involves alleged wrongdoing towards a contractual party regarding his transfer fee, but the forward has been found guilty in his native Brazil for tax fraud on money earned while playing for Santos.
$93m
Cristiano Ronaldo: $58m salary, $35m endorsements
$80m Lionel Messi: $53m salary, $27m endorsements
$37m Neymar: $15m salary, $22m endorsements
The Messi and Ronaldo cases are similar. Both are accused of avoiding tax on sale of image rights by using offshore companies. However, the Portuguese was registered as a non-resident taxpayer under the Beckham Law, while the Argentine has spent his entire adult life registered in Spain.
Prosecutors accuse the Real Madrid star of evading tax of €14.7m between 2011 and 2014 via an alleged shell company called Tollin Associates, registered in the British Virgin Islands.
Spanish investigators say the company, owned by Ronaldo, is a "screen" and has no economic activity apart from having bought and then ceded the player's image rights to a firm based in Ireland that "genuinely manages [his] rights sales".
Prosecutors also claim that money earned from image rights was incorrectly described as capital gains, to benefit from a lower tax rate.
Lionel Messi was informed by the judge in his case it was no defence to plead ignorance and argue that his father was the only person who knew how his money was being managed.
Neymar has denied any wrongdoing and told the court investigating his case that his father and associates dealt with off-field business matters.
Cristiano Ronaldo's representatives and legal team say the only dispute can be about quantity and that there has been no intention to commit fraud. "There is no tax evasion scheme... There has never been any hiding nor any intention to hide anything," they say.
They argue he has paid tax to the Spanish treasury on 20% of his total image rights when, in fact, more than 90% of these are generated outside Spain as he is such a global name.
"The tax agency clearly thinks that if he is being paid for wearing certain boots, shirts or caps in Spain, then he cannot claim this money is being earned abroad," explains Mr Cruzado.
Neymar and Lionel Messi look set to be spared prison due to Spain's unwritten two-year-sentence rule, even if Neymar is eventually found guilty.
Cristiano Ronaldo may be a different matter. Three of the four accusations of tax fraud are considered by prosecutors to be "aggravated", so they carry a minimum sentence of two years each. Four guilty verdicts and he could face as many as seven years.
However, an investigating judge needs to ratify the prosecutors' accusations, and that could take many months or even years.
Even if the investigating magistrate does take up the case, the Portuguese will have several options and a guilty verdict would not necessarily mean jail.
He could admit guilt, pay taxes and fines in advance and reduce any eventual jail term to a half or quarter of the statutory minimum. That way he would slip under the standard two-year bar for first-time offenders and see his sentence suspended.


A prehistoric monument has been given a stargazing award in recognition of its views of the Milky Way.

The Rollright Stones is made up of three Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monuments, high on the Oxfordshire - Warwickshire border.
Rollright Trust head George Lambrick accepted the Dark Sky Discovery award at Long Compton Village Hall.
The award recognises places that provide good views of the stars, which are accessible to everyone.
Chairman of Chipping Norton Amateur Astronomy Group, Robin Smitten, who is also a trustee of the stones, said: "It is a fitting end to seven or eight months of work."
The Rollright Stones has featured in TV's Stargazing Live and The Sky at Night.
Mr Smitten said the group would now turn its focus to improving views of the night sky in other areas of the Cotswolds.


A woman who took her dog for a late-night joyride around a golf course in a buggy is being hunted by police.

Officers have released CCTV of the woman driving her dog around Willingdon Golf Course in Eastbourne, Sussex.
One or more buggies were driven around the course, causing significant damage, police said, while one vehicle sustained up to Â£1,000-worth of damage.
PC James Gillies said it was "rather strange", not least because the buggies were later returned.
Not only was the dog taken for a spin, he said, but the buggies were driven back to their container about 90 minutes later - and plugged back in to charge up.
"It appears that a key to the container may have been stolen unnoticed from the club prior to Sunday night, but the locks have now been changed," he said.
PC Gillies said the woman was accompanied by another person, thought to be a man, at about 22:35 GMT.
Anyone who recognised the woman or her dog is urged to contact the force.


The Welsh culture and sports minister has written to the UK Government to call for rugby's Six Nations to be protected as a free-to-air TV event.

Ken Skates AM has written to new Culture Secretary John Whittingdale to press for the tournament to remain on terrestrial TV.
The current deal with the BBC lasts until the end of the 2017 competition.
The UK government says it currently has no plans to review the list of protected sporting events.
But Mr Skates said rugby's future could be damaged if fewer young people had access to matches on pay-TV.
"Suddenly you're reducing the number of people watching the event, particularly young people who get inspired by watching the sport," said Mr Skates.
"Short term financial gain could cause longer term pain for those rugby clubs right across Wales who could see a drop-off in membership."
He warned it could be "very dangerous and damaging" if  Six Nations rugby coverage was lost to satellite channels.
For the Wales v England opening match earlier this year, the in-home audience peaked at 1.12m, with an additional 150,000 people watching the match in a pub or club.
The same match two years before was the third highest TV audience in Wales this century.
Back in January, the Six Nations' chief executive John Feehan told the Daily Telegraph he was prepared to consider all options for the tournament's broadcasting deal, with BT Sport joining Sky Sports as a rival player in the pay-TV market.
There have been reports that the next TV deal could be worth Â£50m a season - a 25% rise on the existing four-year contract.
In recent years, the BBC has relinquished its exclusive rights to a number of sporting events, after failing to match the large sums offered by subscription TV services.
From 2017 live coverage of the Open Golf championship will be shown exclusively by Sky, while the BBC has shared coverage of Formula 1 with Sky since the 2012 season.
Both Sky and BT Sport currently broadcast some or all of the games in other major rugby competitions including the Pro 12, the Lions tours and the European Champions Cup.
Meanwhile the BBC has undertaken a period of cost-cutting, leaving it unlikely to be able to match the large sums that rival broadcasters may offer for the Six Nations, and diminishing the prospects of the BBC's current agreement surviving from 2018 onwards.
Mr Skates said he would continue to make representations to the UK government, although it was not a devolved matter.
"There's careful consideration to be given to the balance between raising revenue for the sport and  making sure the vast majority of people in Wales are able to watch the events live. I do believe it should remain free-to-air on terrestrial television.
"It's important for the UK Government to recognise that rugby in Wales along with football are the two national games.
"The ball is firmly in the court of the UK Government and we will be pressing them to do the right thing."
An official for the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport said the list of 'crown jewel' events given free-to-air protection is not about to be reviewed.
"Negotiations on television rights for the 6 Nations are a matter for the rugby authorities and broadcasters," said a spokesperson.
But William Field, founder of Prospero, a sports and media consultancy, said: "There's a big difference between the Six Nations entertaining bids from pay-TV and accepting bids from pay-TV.
"It would be failing in its duty to maximise the value of the event if it did not start reminding people, particularly the BBC, that if they don't pay enough for the rights next time then there is a pay-TV broadcaster who would be very, very glad to have this tournament on its channels."
A BBC spokesperson said: "We have no comment to make at this stage and in any case, the BBC does not provide a running commentary on commercially sensitive rights related negotiations and discussions."
Six Nations tournament officials would not comment.


A tree which stood at the time of Magna Carta and another with links to the time of Christ have been shortlisted in the Tree of the Year competition.

The Woodland Trust's annual contest will decide which specimen represents the country in the Europe-wide event.
The final winner of the England heat will be decided by public vote.
This year's list includes yew trees, ancient oaks, hawthornes and the sycamore under which the Tolpuddle Martyrs first met.
Experts at the Trust whittled down 200 public nominations to four shortlists for each country in the UK, with the winner from each region competing in the European event.
The Scottish list includes an oak said to have been visited separately by both William Wallace and Rob Roy, while Northern Ireland's list includes an avenue of trees used in Game of Thrones.
Meanwhile the Welsh list includes two of the oldest trees in the UK, reputed to be almost 5,000 years old.
Calke Park is a haven for ancient trees with the oldest an oak called The Old Man of Calke, thought to be between 1,000 and 1,200 years old. The average age of a large oak in the UK is about 200 years.
This ancient yew could be 2,500 years old and is close to the site where King John sealed Magna Carta at Runnymede - although some argue it was under the Ankerwycke tree's shadow.
It is also said to be the spot where Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn.
This tree in St Martin's Church, Martindale, Cumbria is believed to be at least 800 years old. The nearby church has a bell with an untranslated Nordic rune cast into it and an altar apparently made from meteorite.
According to legend Joseph of Arimathea, an uncle of Jesus, thrust his staff into the ground at Wearyall Hill in Somerset where it took root as a hawthorn tree.
It was chopped down in the Civil War but descendants survive at Glastonbury Abbey from where a flowering spray has been sent to the Monarch each Christmas since the 17th Century.
A recent survey revealed many of the trees in Linford Manor Park are more than 300 years old and are considered significant because of their relationship to the design of the 18th Century grounds.
This venerable oak is a descendent of the tree the future King Charles II hid in following his defeat at the final battle of the English Civil War in 1651 at Worcester.
The young Charles attempted to flee to Wales but had to seek refuge in Boscobel where he hid first in a tree and then in a priest hole.
In 1834, six farm labourers were sentenced to seven years in an Australian penal colony after a meeting under a large sycamore in Tolpuddle to talk about falling wages.
There was a public outcry and their actions laid the foundations for trade unions. The large hollow tree - estimated to be 330 years old - is now a place of pilgrimage for trade unionists.
The black poplar is one of the rarest native trees in the UK, with only 2,500 thought to be left.
This fine example is in the grounds of Acklington School and is estimated to be between 250 and 300 years old. It was saved from felling in 2010.
Believed to be over 250 years old, this is thought to be the largest wild pear tree in Warwickshire and the second largest in the UK. The tree sits on the proposed HS2 route.
The tree has grown outside the house of Judith Clark in Litherland for 27 years. Ms Clark is housebound and said it had enriched her life greatly as she watched the changing seasons.


Kumar Sangakkara and Scott Borthwick shared a 256-run third-wicket partnership, batting for most of the final day together, to help Surrey escape with a draw against Lancashire.

Resuming on 55-1 in their follow-on and needing 100 runs to make Lancashire bat again, the hosts began badly.
Mark Stoneman (27) was removed in Stephen Parry's second over of the day.
But left-handers Sangakkara (136) and Borthwick (108*) joined forces to help Surrey reach safety on 323-3.
Sangakkara, dropped at slip when he was on 72, raced to a 154-ball century, while his old Durham team-mate Borthwick, who came south to Surrey over the winter, by comparison played second-fiddle.
But he remained unbeaten at the end, having completed his first century for Surrey, after Sangakkara's eventual removal, bowled by Simon Kerrigan just before hands were shaken.
Lancashire take 13 points from a second successive County Championship Division One draw from another game in which they had the upper hand, having also been unable to see out victory last week against Essex at Chelmsford.
Apart from their two match-saving centurions, they owed most to another excellent effort from fast bowler Mark Footitt, who has now claimed a haul of five wickets in an innings in five successive Championship matches for Surrey.
Having ended last season with 21 wickets in three matches, he has already taken 13 in two games this season.
Surrey centurion Scott Borthwick told BBC Radio London:
"This was something I've dreamt of for the past five months. It was a good feeling.
"We needed it as a team to bounce back from day three. Batting with Sanga and watching him go about his business in building an innings was unbelievable.
"It was the best seat in the house with him batting at the other end."
Lancashire coach Glen Chapple told BBC Radio Manchester:
"We had a very tough first hour in the game but, from that point on, have fought hard for four days and I'm really pleased with the performance.
"To make 470 on there after losing those five early wickets was a great effort thanks to that fantastic partnership between Jordan and Shiv Chanderpaul.
"We can take good confidence from here and the fact we've taken 12 bonus points from our first couple of games."


The Duchess of Cambridge will visit Malta later this year in her first official overseas trip without Prince William, Kensington Palace has said.

She will represent the Queen during a visit to the Mediterranean island on 20 and 21 September.
The trip has been planned to mark 50 years of Maltese independence.
The duchess will only spend one night away from home and Prince George, who will be one year old on Tuesday, will not go with her.
Earlier this year the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Australia and New Zealand with Prince George.
After the announcement of the duchess's solo trip, the official British Monarchy Twitter account tweeted: "The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh lived in Malta when they were just married, while the duke was on naval service."


Lawyers representing a group of people who claim they were sexually abused by the former Labour MP Lord Janner say they are to seek a review of the decision not to prosecute him.

The Director of Public Prosecutions announced Lord Janner, 86, would not be charged, despite sufficient evidence to bring a case, because of his dementia.
The ex-MP has denied any wrongdoing.
The CPS Victims' Right to Review Scheme allows a complainant to request a charging decision be reconsidered.
Guidelines suggest a review, to be conducted by a prosecutor unconnected to the original case, would normally take six weeks.
Slater and Gordon has confirmed it has written to the CPS on behalf of its clients, formally requesting a review.
Another firm, Quality Solicitors Abney Garsden, which is representing three clients in a civil child abuse claim against Lord Janner, has written to Ms Saunders.
Peter Garsden, a leading child abuse lawyer at the firm, said he wants Ms Saunders to clarify the reasons for her decision by disclosing reports which supported it.
He has also requested documents relating to historical investigations relating to Lord Janner, including an investigation into several children's homes in Leicestershire during the 1990s.
Mr Garsden, who is president of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers, has asked for CPS agreement to obtain his own report on Lord Janner's mental capacity.
"My clients are outraged that, after co-operating with a two-year police investigation into the abuse by Lord Janner, they will not now have their chance of justice through the courts," he said.
The firm is also considering the possibility of seeking a judicial review.
Liz Dux, a solicitor from Slater and Gordon, told the BBC that the alleged victims wanted a "chance to be heard".
"Even if a judge deems that Lord Janner is mentally unfit to enter a plea they could still have a hearing of facts actually in his absence," she said.
"I think everyone is sceptical as to the chances of this review being successful, but we've got to try because this is their last hope."
The CPS has confirmed it has received at least one request for a review of its decision.
Announcing her decision on 16 April, DPP Alison Saunders said there was enough evidence to prosecute Lord Janner for 22 offences against nine children.
But she said the CPS also has to decide if a prosecution is in the public interest. Four medical experts concluded Lord Janner was not healthy enough to enter a plea, instruct a solicitor or take part in a trial after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2009.
BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds says it is likely the review will centre on this medical assessment, along with the question of whether the DPP was wrong to rule out a so-called trial of the facts.
This would have involved a jury hearing details of the alleged abuse, and deciding whether it happened, without there being a possibility of Lord Janner entering a plea or facing conviction.
Ms Saunders decided such a trial should not take place because under law it could only result an order that Lord Janner be confined to hospital, a supervision order or an "absolute discharge", a decision by the court that no further action should be taken.
She said Lord Janner was not a risk to the public because of his condition, and therefore it was not in the public interest to begin criminal proceedings.


A village in the Vale of Glamorgan is in a celebratory mood.

Aston Martin has announced it is to build its new luxury car, the DBX, in St Athan, creating 750 highly-skilled jobs.
The village was chosen over 20 global locations and will be the only place in Wales to build a complete car.
The coup has been hailed as proof of the area's resurgence. But what will it really mean for local people and how will it change the area?
In the words of Aston Martin chief executive Dr Andrew Palmer, St Athan will turn "from a military base to a luxury vehicle manufacturing plant... and frankly, the sooner the better".
Mr Palmer wants to build the workforce from within Wales. When asked about sourcing staff he said: "They're here, they're in Wales.
"You've got some wonderful universities, Cardiff University for example, you train great people. I believe this will retain youngsters in Wales and in Cardiff. "
And he said he was keen to utilise the area's existing skills: "We have a wealth of craftsmanship here - it takes 200 hours to make a car and to do that we need skilled labour.
"We have got that skilled labour in Wales... and that played a big part in our decision [to come to Wales]."
Cardiff and Vale College, which has sites in Cardiff and Barry, said it saw the news as an "opportunity" for students.
Principal Mike James said: "We are very excited by this investment... it represents a fantastic opportunity for our learners to gain employment with a world-renowned, prestige company."
The college said it was working closely with the Welsh government and employers.
Motor industry economist Prof Garel Rhys, who is chair of the Cardiff airport and St Athan enterprise zone advisory board, said colleges have a big role to play: "Colleges need to make sure that they speak to Aston Martin and they will.
"Aston Martin were attracted to the location for the skills required so colleges are doing the right thing already... [they're] doing a sterling job."
Prof Rhys said Wednesday's announcement was just the start of investment in the area: "The car came around in 1888, we've got a car company for the first time ever...
"When you're waiting for a bus for a long time, damn it, if one comes along a second one turns up. So possibly we might now get a second or third car maker."
His hopes were shared by First Minister Carwyn Jones, who told the assembled press at the unveiling that any development would "not just help Aston Martin but open up the site to further development as well".
And according to Prof Rhys, the 750 Aston Martin jobs can only lead to more jobs: "Every job Aston Martin creates will create 0.8 of a job elsewhere.
"There will be more businesses, leisure and retail services. Then they'll get to the point where they'll employ more people.
"You'll see a new school, the reopening of a post office. The knock-on effects don't happen overnight but it can take up to about six years for the whole thing to work through. "
He said Nissan's investment in Sunderland led to the creation of 27 separate companies: "And the north east of England had virtually no history in the industry."
The development will not have a big impact on  the appearance of St Athan as the Aston Martin plant is going into an existing building, the super hanger, Prof Rhys said.
But a proposed northern access road from the B4265 between Boverton and Llanmaes traffic signal junctions was "essential" to the enterprise zone, Vale of Glamorgan council said.
New homes could also be on the cards, according to Prof Rees: "There'll be a lot of people moving into Wales from elsewhere... there will be a need for housing quite clearly and that will come down to housing authorities if the local area wants to benefit from this as much as possible.
"It'll be high quality housing as well."
Wednesday's optimism and excitement follows a spell of economic disappointment for the area.
In October 2010, a Â£14bn defence training academy which would have created 2,000 jobs at St Athan was scrapped as part of 8% of cuts by the UK government to the defence budget.
Then in 2012 the last RAF aircraft was repaired by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) at its St Athan base, ending 75 years of maintenance at the site.
But for today the future is looking bright for the people of St Athan.
Vale of Glamorgan council leader councillor Neil Moore described the announcement as a "vote of confidence" in the area.
He added: "It marks a very significant point in the ongoing resurgence of the Vale of Glamorgan."
"It's an enormous number of jobs, " said Prof Rees.
"They're very well paid jobs. And what a fantastic brand to work for."


Workers were evacuated from a coffee factory in Oxfordshire and production was halted after a large fire broke out.

An "external platform" at Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE) in Banbury caught fire at about 23:50 BST on Saturday.
Fire crews from Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire brought it under control overnight and there were no injuries to staff.
The cause is currently unknown and an investigation is under way.
Police cordons were put in place along Ruscote Avenue, with a large road closure in place between Tesco Extra and The Musketeer pub. They were removed at 01:45.
A JDE spokesman said: "The onsite team made a decision to proactively evacuate the relevant section of the site in accordance with strict safety procedures.
"The production process on site was shut down but is being restarted following the action and guidance of the fire service and the onsite JDE incident management team.
"JDE would like to thank the local fire service for their fast actions and for how they worked closely with our incident team to minimise the fire and disruption to the site."
Incident commander Simon Sumners, from Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue, said: "Crews quickly got firefighting jets on to the fire, and working closely with the site engineers the fire damage to the building was limited."
A Thames Valley Police spokeswoman said: "We received a report from the fire service that a factory in Ruscote Avenue, Banbury, was on fire.
"Officers attended the scene to assist the fire service with road closures... the fire service will carry out the initial investigation then advise police if arson is suspected or not."


Fresh rules for the cosmetic procedures industry in England are "appalling" and pay "only lip service" to patient safety, warn plastic surgeons.

Ministers said it will become illegal to offer dermal fillers without training.
But surgeons said the decision not to classify them as prescription only has been labelled a "missed opportunity".
The whole industry has been accused of acting like "cowboys" and selling products "like double glazing".
The Â£2.3bn cosmetic procedures industry is dominated by the non-surgical end of the market such as fillers, laser hair removal and Botox.
They account for nine in 10 interventions and are worth 75% of the market.
Dermal fillers, used to plump up lips and get rid of wrinkles, are one major area of contention.
A review of the industry in 2013 by the medical director of the NHS in England, Sir Bruce Keogh, warned fillers could cause lasting harm, but were covered by only the same level of regulation as ballpoint pens and toothbrushes.
He said they were a crisis waiting to happen and should become prescription only.
However, this will not take place - a move criticised by plastic surgeons.
Rajiv Grover, a consultant plastic surgeon and president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), told the BBC: "Frankly, we are no less than appalled at the lack of action taken.
"Legislators have clearly been paying only lip service to the sector's dire warnings that dermal fillers are a crisis waiting to happen.
"The ability to classify fillers as prescription only would have allowed three birds to be killed with one stone.
"It would effectively have controlled the marketing and sale of these fillers, it would have regulated who can perform these injections and it would have provided an automatic ban on advertising.
"This is an opportunity missed."
Ministers have announced that Health Education England will review training for dermal fillers and Botox injections and legislation will be introduced to make it illegal to offer such procedures without training.
Anyone offering fillers will have to so under a named doctor or nurse, whose reputation will be on the line.
The government said it was working at an EU level to as part of a review of medical devices to change the rules on fillers.
Health minister for England, Dr Dan Poulter, said: "This package is the biggest reform the industry has seen and it is completely misleading to suggest surgeons won't be part of the consent process.
"Patients will meet the surgeon operating on them to discuss treatment and they will now have to sign the consent form in the presence of a doctor, not a sales person as has been the case in the past.
"EU legislation states fillers are not a medicine, so we cannot reclassify them.
"Instead we want to protect patients with new laws so anyone injecting fillers must be qualified and overseen by a doctor or other appropriate health professional who must see the patient to discuss treatment."
However, surgeons are still concerned that anybody will still be able to offer fillers and there will be no central register of who is qualified.
Mr Grover said the message was "roll up and feel free to have a stab".
Cosmetic surgery and interventions became an issue during one of the biggest health scares to face the industry - surrounding substandard breast implants made by the French company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) - when a lack of records kept by surgeons meant women did not know if they were affected.
At the time there was also criticism of "win a boob job" competitions, mother-daughter offers and time restricted deals on surgery.
Ministers say other measures being announced will improve the whole industry including:
Ministers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will decide separately if they want to introduce any of the measures.
In a statement, Sir Bruce Keogh said: "This is the beginning of a journey, not the end, but I am confident these changes will create a much safer and skilled cosmetic industry which should reassure both consumers and practitioners."


As Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe travels to the US for a state visit, one Japanese island is pushing back against a new American military base.

This week in Washington, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will sit down with President Barack Obama and tell him the US-Japan military alliance is stronger than ever.
In many ways this peculiar love affair between the US and Japan, which began after one country dropped atom bombs on the other, does look pretty solid.
But while Japanese people may like the protection that the US alliance brings, they don't much like the US bases and tens of thousands of personnel that come with it.
Most will never get to see the 50,000 US military personnel stationed in their country. That's because most of the Americans are far away on the island of Okinawa.
Okinawa makes up just 0.6% of Japan's land mass but, as the locals will never tire of telling you, it hosts over 70% of the US bases in Japan.
The people of Okinawa are weary of the 70 years of "semi-occupation". They have long complained of the noise and danger from US planes and helicopters flying day and night.
Most of all they complain of the young men of the US Marine Corps, who are seen as drunken, violent and a threat to Okinawan women.
In fact the statistics speak otherwise - the incidence of rape, murder and other crimes by American personnel in Okinawa is low.
But a small number of horrific cases have done huge harm - in particular the 1995 gang rape of a 13-year-old Okinawan schoolgirl by four US Marines changed attitudes here dramatically.
It's a big reason why the US government wants to move Futenma, the largest Marine base in Okinawa, out of the densely populated south of the island to a remote spot 60km away.
It sounds like a good idea. The city of Ginowan will get a big chunk of land back. Its people will get to sleep at night and its daughters will no longer have to fear.
But for most Okinawans, 60km is not nearly far enough. They want to see the US Marines moved much further - say Guam for instance, or even better, Australia.
As plans for building the new base at Camp Schwab have moved forward, attitudes here have hardened. Tokyo insists there is no other choice.
Okinawans have responded by kicking out the pro-Tokyo governor and electing a new one who has promised to block any construction. Tokyo has simply over-ruled him.
It is, say many in Okinawa, the behaviour of a colonial regime, and it is making people here mad.
At 6:30 on a chilly morning I find myself outside the gates of Camp Schwab with around 100 elderly, but determined, protesters.
At first it is noisy but pretty docile. But then as the construction crews start to arrive the elderly protesters roll in to action.
En masse they rush out in to the road and lie down in front of one of the vehicles. The police struggle to pull them away, four policemen for each protester. They kick and scream.
"Why are you betraying your own people?", they shout. "Why are you helping the Americans?"
Through it all, blaring away on his megaphone, is protest leader Satoru Oshiro.
"It is 70 years since the end of the war, but still we have to bear the overwhelming burden of US bases here in Okinawa."
"In a democratic country that is not right," he says. "Now they want to build a new base here, we cannot allow that to happen."
The emotions here are complex. Okinawans feel semi-occupied by the US military, but their feelings towards Tokyo are also deeply ambivalent.
There is deep bitterness here, in particular about how their overlords from the "mainland" sacrificed them at the end of World War 2.
"Okinawa is the only place in Japan that experienced battle on the ground," says Satoru Oshiro "We cannot forget the tragedy, the horrible past."
And it was unspeakably horrible.
On a hilltop just outside the capital Naha, I find Takamatsu Gushiken digging for human remains.
He and a small team of volunteers have been doing this for over 30 years. All they have is some old trowels, a few buckets and one yellow metal detector. Each year they uncover the remains of around 100 people - most are civilians, many are women and children.
"When I find the bones of child and woman together, I cannot help but think that must be a mother and child and think about which died first," Gushiken says.
"I heard of lots of babies sucking their mother's breast after she has died. Was it like that or did the child go first and the mother hung on to the baby? It makes it very hard for us to see sights like that."
All the more so when you realise that many of the victims he unearths did not die in battle but killed themselves on the orders of Japanese military commanders.
"The Japanese military was the only military that ordered soldiers and people to take their own lives, rather than surrender.
"People were taught that killing themselves was a noble act. When I see those remains, it is very hard for me to forgive teaching in Japan at that time."
The carnage wrought by this policy is terrible to think about.
Perhaps a quarter of a million people died here in three months of slaughter from April to June 1945. No-one has ever apologised to the people of Okinawa for what they were put through, not the US, certainly not Tokyo.
Back at Camp Schwab the protesters have now taken to the water.
Much of the new marine base will be built by landfilling a pristine reef with millions of tonnes of rock and soil and building two long runways in Henoko Bay.
The protesters are now in small sea kayaks. They can slip in to the shallowest water and dodge between rocks.
For an hour there is a game of cat and mouse as the tiny kayaks try to slip into the construction zone. But the coastguards, in their powerful speedboats, outflank them and round them up like a dog herding wayward sheep.
It is an unequal contest - but the sentiment of people here in Okinawa is clear. They don't want the new base.
When Prime Minister Abe tells President Obama everything here is under control, he should not be reassured.


Nigeria have lined up international friendlies against Senegal and Burkina Faso in London in March.

The Super Eagles will face the Teranga Lions on 23 March and the Stallions four days later as part of their build-up for the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa in June.
Nigeria have won eight, drawn five and lost three times in 16 previous matches against Senegal.
They have never lost to Burkina Faso in 13 previous games.
Both friendlies will take place at the Hive stadium in Canons Park - home of English fourth-tier side Barnet FC.
Three-time African champions Nigeria have failed to qualify for the last two editions of the Africa Cup of Nations.
But under new manager Gernot Rohr, who took charge in August, the Super Eagles got off to a flying start in their 2018 World Cup qualifiers, recording a 2-1 win in Zambia and a 3-1 victory at home against Algeria.
"We are not thinking too far ahead of the World Cup games against Cameroon later in the year," Rohr told BBC Sport.
"These two friendly matches in England will help us prepare for South Africa in June.
"We have to take it one step at a time, first we focus on South Africa then we start to look at Cameroon."
Nigeria's six points, coupled with some surprising results in the other games, leaves them with an early four-point lead in their 2018 World Cup qualifying group ahead of Cameroon and Zambia.


Plans to put pedestrians first in the heart of Edinburgh city centre are set to be approved by councillors.

The blueprint for the next five years includes taking away street furniture, making areas "more people friendly" and having less traffic.
The proposals target Princes Street, George Street and Rose Street.
A report, going before the council's policy and strategy committee, details the results of a review by urban design consultants, Gehl Architects.
The council-commissioned review said temporary projects, such as increasing footway space on the north side of George Street and increasing the opening hours of kiosks, along with longer-term projects, such as creating pedestrian spaces in the centre of George Street, could transform the city centre.
There are also proposals to review the city's bus networks and bus provision for the centre.
An Edinburgh City Council spokesman said: "Gehl's approach, which focuses heavily on people and how they use places, was used successfully in New York and Melbourne, where their work has been instrumental to bringing bold changes to public spaces in these cities."
Jenny Dawe, Edinburgh City Council leader, said: "Edinburgh is a world class city and a magnet for visitors but, equally, there is a consensus that the quality of public space in some parts of the city centre lets us down.
"I am determined that this action plan be implemented. The starting point is the delivery of temporary short-term projects, which can be done quickly and cheaply to bring much needed changes to the dynamic of the city centre.
"Gehl's findings reinforce the clear correlation between good public places and good economic performance, as already demonstrated by the success of the recent redevelopments of St Andrew Square and the Grassmarket."


Former Honduran President Rafael Callejas has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit racketeering and wire fraud in connection with the Fifa corruption scandal.

Callejas, 72, who is also a former head of Honduran football, made his guilty plea in a federal court in New York.
Each count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Callejas, who was president of Honduras from 1990 to 1994, flew to the US in December to face the indictments.
At a court appearance in December, he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
But in court on Monday, he told the judge that he had accepted bribes and distributed some of the money to others, AP news agency reported.
"I knew it was wrong," he told the court.
In a statement, the US Department of Justice said Callejas had negotiated and accepted bribes in exchange for exercising his influence as the president of the Honduran football federation to award contracts for media and marketing rights to World Cup qualifier matches.
Callejas will be sentenced in August.
The US is investigating 42 people and organisations suspected of involvement in seeking bribes in return for lucrative marketing rights.


Preparatory work on the proposed Garden Bridge across the River Thames has been halted to allow City Hall to review how it is being financed, it has emerged.

London mayor Sadiq Khan has voiced support for the Garden Bridge, which was first proposed in 2012 and is expected to open in 2018.
But he also said he will not provide any further public money towards its construction.
Building work on the bridge between the South Bank and Temple has yet to begin.
The amount of public money being provided by the Department of Transport and City Hall to help finance construction of the bridge already stands Â£60m.
However, the mayor now wants to review the financial position of the bridge after Â£3m of additional funding was sought from Transport for London (TfL).
The money will be used to help make improvements to, and strengthen, the Tube station at Temple on the north bank of the Thames so the bridge structure can sit on top of the station roof.
The additional funding was due to be approved at a TfL finance and policy committee hearing on Friday.
The Garden Bridge Trust, which is behind construction of the bridge, said it would ultimately provide the finance for the additional costs to make the improvements to the Tube station.
A Garden Bridge Trust spokesperson confirmed it had signed a costs agreement with TfL which included a repayment schedule. They added the first payment on that schedule was made in June.
The spokesperson said: "This requires the trust to meet the costs against an agreed payment schedule which will be funded by the trust's overall project costs. There is no requirement for extra public funds for this work."
The trust said it was now working on securing planning permission ahead of construction work which is expected to begin in July.
During the mayoral election Mr Khan expressed concerns about the financing arrangements for the bridge.
A spokesperson for mayor said: "The previous mayor first approved plans for enabling work to prepare Temple Tube station for the arrival of the Garden Bridge two years ago in the summer of 2014, but final authorisation was only provided in March this year, two months before the mayoral election.
"This enabling work has since been suspended and that was reported to the finance and policy committee last Friday."
"Sadiq Khan has been clear that no new public funds should be committed to the Garden Bridge and he has pledged to make the project more open and transparent - standards that were not always met under the previous administration."


Last Christmas 11 year-old Charlie's mum, Jolene, was cooking dinner when she found a live gecko in a pack of broccoli.

8 December 2015 Last updated at 06:56 GMT
The little reptile had travelled from Spain to a supermarket in Powys, Wales, hidden amongst the green vegetables.
Before the surprise discovery Charlie had wanted a gecko as a pet and had been asking his parents for one.
The family decided to keep the stowaway pet and have now named him 'Broc'.
So how has Broc's first year gone in his new home? Martin has been finding out.


A former hotel owner has been jailed for three years for human trafficking.

Shamsul Arefin brought four people from his native Bangladesh to work at the Stewart Hotel near Appin in Argyll over a three year period.
His victims took out loans to pay him substantial sums for employment at the hotel. One was threatened with having his kidney removed by money lenders back home if he didn't pay his debt.
Arefin's crimes were  described as a "clear case of modern day slavery".
At Fort William Sheriff Court, he was found guilty of breaches of the Asylum and Immigration Act.
He carried out the crimes between 2008 and 2010. He recruited his victims by offering them jobs as chefs at his hotel.
They were told to pay him substantial sums of money which he described as a "deposit" in exchange for employment and a salary.
On their arrival at the hotel, their wages were reduced to a fraction of the contracted amount and they were required to work far longer hours with their duties extended beyond the kitchen.
The men told how they had to paint the hotel, clean rooms and cut and move logs in the hotel grounds in freezing winter temperatures.
Arefin threatened his victims with termination of their employment when they complained and refused to return the money they had paid him.
In one case the victim described how money lenders in Bangladesh had threatened to remove his kidney as a result of his inability to pay back what he owed.
The crimes came to light following an investigation by the UK Border Agency and the then Northern Constabulary.
Responding to Arefin's sentencing, Kath Harper, the Crown's national lead prosecutor for human trafficking, said: "Arefin's greed had life-changing implications not just for his victims, but for their families and others who supported them.
"Human trafficking can come in many forms and as prosecutors we are committed to doing all we can do eradicate it from Scotland."
Kevin Hyland, independent anti-slavery commissioner, added: "The victims of these particular crimes endured exploitation and abuse many thought was a distant memory of the past.
"This is a clear case of 'modern day slavery' and I commend the bravery of the four men who gave evidence at the trial. I hope that receiving justice in the courts assists in their journey of recovery."
Det Insp Richard Baird from Police Scotland said: "Shamsul Arefin was driven by financial greed and held no regard for the working conditions of those in his employment.
"This was apparent by the poor condition that his victims were subject to through working long hours at no extra pay and often with substandard equipment and working supplies.
"In bringing this individual to justice we have disrupted, if not dismantled, one more illegal enterprise and hopefully saved other potential victims from inevitable suffering."


Schools across Northern Ireland can now apply for funding to set up shared education campuses.

The first and deputy first minister revealed plans last May for 10 campuses where Protestant and Catholic children would be educated on the same site.
Letters have now been sent to primary and secondary schools, informing them of what criteria must be met.
Campuses must be cross-community and be supported by both local people and the education authorities.
Schools that can prove they have already been sharing across the sectors will be preferred.
Work has already begun on the Lisanelly shared campus for six schools in Omagh, but the Department of Education acknowledges that this project is probably unique.
Instead the most likely plans will be for smaller schemes, and for shared facilities to be built or expanded for the joint use of at least two schools.
Applications must be submitted by the end of March, and the first round of decisions will be made by June.
The programme is part of the Northern Ireland Executive's Together: Building a United Community strategy,
Stormont Education Minister John O'Dowd said: "The programme will complement the work already under way on shared education and area planning and will be targeted at infrastructure projects aimed at improving or facilitating sharing initiatives within local schools.
"It will have the potential to bring together a range of schools and aid shared participation in classes, sports and extra-curricular activities."


Yeovil and Portsmouth ended the year by playing out a goalless draw.

But the game will be remembered more for the atrocious fog that engulfed Huish Park and rendered most of the pitch invisible throughout.
Yeovil had an early chance when Ben Whitfield tried his luck from 30 yards, but the ball sailed harmlessly wide.
As the fog worsened, Portsmouth climbed into the ascendancy.
Kal Naismith had a speculative effort well saved by Artur Krysiak, before Michael Smith headed wide from six yards out.
Pompey continued to threaten as Noel Hunt forced Krysiak to save another shot from distance.
Yeovil grew back into the game towards the end of the first half, with Otis Khan and Tahvon Campbell both creating chances.
Portsmouth began to resort to long shots in the second half as Danny Rose and Carl Baker both missed from distance.
Noel Hunt then had a half-volley from the edge of the box which Krysiak was equal to.
Otis Khan had a golden chance to win it for Yeovil at the end but his shot cannoned off the crossbar with David Forde well beaten.
