The Crimestoppers charity is offering a £10,000 reward for information about the 1996 murder of Scottish schoolgirl Caroline Glachan.

The 14-year-old was found dead on the banks of the River Leven in Dunbartonshire on 25 August 1996.
Her mother, Margaret McKeich, recently led appeals as the inquiry reached 20 years without the killer being found.
Crimestoppers said the reward would be paid for information which leads to an arrest and conviction.
Information passed directly to the police will not qualify for the reward.
Angela Parker, national manager for Crimestoppers in Scotland, said: "Twenty years on, and Caroline's family are still left with unanswered questions as to what happened to her.
"I am asking for people who might have any information, no matter how insignificant they think it might be, to contact Crimestoppers anonymously, because you could be the person that provides the missing pieces to the puzzle.
"We never ask who you are or any of your details. You'll never speak to anyone from the police or ever go to court. Please do the right thing, and tell us who is responsible for taking a young girl's life."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or through an anonymous online form.
Last week police said they were following up more than 20 calls after the murder inquiry featured on the BBC's Crimewatch programme.
Some calls related to the identity of a hooded man seen near Caroline before she died.
Video contributions to the programme were also made by Mrs McKeich and the schoolgirl's friend, Joanne Menzies, who was one of the last people to have seen her alive.
Police Scotland's Homicide Governance and Review team recently started a fresh investigation and forensic scientists are re-examining more than 300 items collected at the time of Caroline's death.


Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri accepted the blame for Wednesday's 5-0 defeat by Porto in the Champions League but felt some of his fringe players missed an opportunity to impress him.

With the Foxes already through to the last 16, Ranieri made 10 changes.
Those he selected struggled to compete with Porto as Leicester suffered the heaviest defeat by an English side in Champions League history.
"I decided to change the team - the result is my fault," said Ranieri.
"My players lost a very great chance to show me their best.
"I have no regrets because I wanted to give an opportunity to all my players."
Leicester had sealed first place in Group G with a game to spare after winning four and drawing one of their previous five games.
It gave Ranieri the luxury of being able to give first-team regulars like Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez a rest, especially ahead of a tough game against Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Foxes are two points above the relegation zone and Ranieri said facing Pep Guardiola's side was on his mind when he chose his team to face Porto.
"If I needed to win or draw, I would bring all my first team to fight," he added.
"But when you know there is another difficult match Saturday against Manchester City and you are top of the group, why not give a chance to players who say 'why don't I play? We are losing in the Premier League, give me a chance'.
"For this reason, I give a chance to them. That's it. Then, the result is my fault but they missed a great chance."
Leicester will find out who they will face in the Champions League last 16 on Monday.


A disabled man has become the victim of a violent car hijacking in Sixmilecross, County Tyrone.

Police said he was flagged down by two men, who dragged him out of his black Nissan Qashqai, before assaulting him, removing his glasses and stealing the car.
It happened on the Shane Road at about 03:00 BST on Monday.
Sgt Gerry Kelly said: "The victim, who uses crutches, made his way with some difficulty to a neighbouring house."
The car was found crashed into a bridge, a short distance away.
The police have appealed for witnesses.


A human rights lawyer who brought murder and torture claims against UK troops has admitted misconduct charges.

Phil Shiner, from the now-defunct law firm Public Interest Lawyers, faces being struck off after paying thousands of pounds to a fixer to find clients, a disciplinary tribunal heard.
He admitted he also acted recklessly by publicly claiming UK troops unlawfully killed, tortured and mistreated Iraqis.
Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon called on Mr Shiner to apologise.
The disciplinary tribunal heard Mr Shiner admitted nine allegations of acting without integrity, including making "unsolicited direct approaches" to potential clients through a fixer.
It heard he paid thousands of pounds to a man - referred to in court papers as "Z", but who is understood to be called Abu Jamal - for the client referrals, which is prohibited.
He also admitted a further nine charges in part, accepting he acted without integrity but denying he did so dishonestly.
One allegation concerned his claims at a press conference in February 2008, when he said British troops had killed and tortured Iraqi civilians at the 2004 so-called "Battle of Danny Boy", in southern Iraq.
The tribunal heard Mr Shiner accepted he acted recklessly in saying Iraqis were taken alive and later murdered after the gun-fight.
The aftermath of the battle became a central point of the Al-Sweady public inquiry.
The five-year investigation, which cost £31m, ruled in 2014 that allegations of murder and torture made against British soldiers by Iraqi detainees were "deliberate lies".
Mr Shiner admitted failing to keep clients properly informed during the inquiry - but denied the claims he made were dishonest.
He also denied a further six allegations, including misleading the inquiry and the Legal Services Commission over legal aid grants.
His former colleague at PIL, John Dickinson, denied a single charge of failing to keep clients properly informed during the Al-Sweady inquiry.
The pair will face a three-week trial in January.
Putting the case against Mr Shiner, Andrew Tabachnik, for the Solicitors Regulation Authority, said: "Even on the basis of his own admissions, Professor Shiner accepts this tribunal must strike him off at the end of this case."
The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) heard his lawyer had submitted a letter making the admissions on the eve of a case management hearing on Thursday.
Mr Tabachnik said Mr Shiner was yet to outline his defence to the charges he has denied or only admitted in part.
Jayne Willetts, acting for Mr Shiner, said he was in "ill health" and would "in all likelihood" be unrepresented at the date of the hearing.
Mr Shiner came to public attention when he represented the Iraqi family of Baha Mousa, who was beaten to death by British soldiers.
He launched many other high-profile legal actions against the Ministry of Defence relating to alleged human rights abuses involving UK armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
His firm, PIL brought forward the majority of allegations, more than 2,000 cases, that were to be considered by the Iraq Historic Allegations Team (Ihat).
The firm closed down in August this year after being stripped of legal aid funding for breaching contractual requirements and was criticised by the Al-Sweady Inquiry for making allegations of war crimes based on "deliberate lies, reckless speculation and ingrained hostility".
Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said Mr Shiner had made the lives of soldiers "a misery by pursuing false allegations of torture and murder".
He said: "It was on behalf of those soldiers that we complained about Mr Shiner's actions and finally he has admitted he was reckless and acted without integrity.
"He should now apologise to the soldiers whose reputations he attempted to traduce."
The Ministry of Defence has spent more than £100m on Iraq-related claims since 2004.


Derby County boss Darren Wassall has defended his team selection for the Championship play-off semi-final first-leg defeat against Hull City.

Bradley Johnson replaced George Thorne, with Will Hughes in a deeper role.
Asked following the 3-0 loss if he regretted that decision, Wassall told BBC Radio Derby: "No, not at all.
"Bradley played against Hull a few weeks ago and scored two goals in that position and Will played very well against Sheffield Wednesday."
Midfielder Johnson was brought in after Thorne suffered a broken leg during the recent defeat by Ipswich.
He struggled against Hull, giving the ball away in the build up to the opening goal, and was substituted in the second half.
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I don't think the selections caused that result," said Wassall. "We haven't performed as we have been doing over the past six or seven weeks when it matters."
Wassall also defended his decision not to make attacking changes earlier in the game.
Nick Blackman came on in the 71st minute and was eventually followed by fellow striker Darren Bent, whose late introduction was quickly followed by Hull's injury-time third goal.
"We were conscious that it's half-time in the tie and the one thing we didn't want to do was to go and concede a third goal," said Wassall.


Cate Blanchett has said there's a "swathe of great roles for women" in film.

The Australian star was speaking ahead of a screening of romantic period drama Carol at the BFI London Film Festival.
Adapted from Patricia Highsmith novel The Price of Salt, the film tells the story of two women who fall in love in 1950s New York.
Both Blanchett and co-star Rooney Mara have been widely tipped for Oscar nominations for their roles.
Speaking before the screening, Blanchett said: "Every time there are interesting complex roles played by actresses on screen someone asks, 'does this mean there's going to be more of the same?'
"We seem to every year find ourselves in the same conversation, that somehow it's remarkable.
"I think there's a swathe of great roles for women and swathe of wonderful female performers. I think it's just time to get on with it."
Blanchett plays alluring married woman Carol Aird, who meets young department store clerk Therese Belivet, played by Mara.
The couple form an instant connection and fall in love. Carol faces losing custody of her daughter in a bitter divorce battle because of her affair with a woman.
Blanchett said Carol's storyline might have been deemed "more political" had it been made a few years ago.
"I think the landscape around the conversation around same-sex relationships has advanced in a lot of countries.
"The universality of the love story comes to the fore, rather than any sort of political agenda."
Blanchett said the film, directed by Todd Haynes, focused on the "timeless nature" of falling in love.
"There's a sense that people who fall in love in the '50s - because they are wearing girdles - don't feel the same things that we feel."
She said falling in love felt like something that "no-one else has experienced".
"It's dangerous, you're out of control. It's akin to panic and fear. Your heart literally beats faster.
"That doesn't change whether you are wearing a corset or a G-string."


Newport County midfielder Mitchell Rose has been handed a five-match ban after a charge of misconduct was upheld by the Football Association.

Rose was charged for knocking a red card out of referee Trevor Kettle's hand in Newport's 3-2 loss at Cambridge United in February.
The 22-year-old was initially sent off for giving away a late penalty, but the dismissal was overturned.
Rose, the brother of Tottenham's Danny Rose, was also fined £1,000.
County received a £2,500 fine after admitting a charge of failing to control their players.
The matter was heard by an independent regulatory commission.


A car salesman with debt and gambling problems was caught with cocaine and heroin with an estimated street value of £330,000, a court has heard.

Christopher McAuley, 35, admitted being concerned in the supply of the drugs at his home in Glasgow in September 2016.
Defence advocate Sarah Livingstone said the father of two had been holding the drugs for others and he had no idea of the value or purity.
At the High Court in Glasgow, he was remanded in custody pending sentence.
Prosecutor Keith O'Mahony said: "He was employed as a sales manager for the Arnold Clark motor group, but lost his job as a result of this case."
Police with a search warrant found two white blocks of powder, later forensically confirmed to be cocaine, on top of the fridge in the kitchen.
A further block, which contained heroin, was found in a shoebox in a wardrobe in a bedroom.
The blocks of cocaine were more than 60% pure and the heroin was 28% pure.
Mr O'Mahony said "If adulterated to street level purity of 16% and sold in one gram deals the cocaine had the potential to realise approximately £320,000."
The court was told the heroin would have the potential to realise £12,840.
Ms Livingstone said McAuley had a background of depression, gambling and debt.


Google has hurriedly rushed out a link to D-Day material after failing to honour the 70th anniversary in its famous daily doodle.

Initially the UK homepage of the search engine had a doodle honouring a Japanese Go player.
It admitted to the Daily Telegraph that that had been uploaded in error, and quickly removed it.
Beneath its logo there is a now a link to letters, photos and maps of the Normandy landings.
There was anger on Twitter about the goof.
"What were you thinking #Google?" asked one.
In response Google's director of communication Peter Barron said:  "We always intended to highlight a new exhibition of imagery and archive material commemorating D-Day on our homepage.
"Unfortunately a technical error crept in and for a short period this morning an international doodle also appeared. We're sorry for the mistake, and we're proud to honour those who took part in D-Day"
The link to D-Day material takes users to the Google Cultural Institute, which has content on the Normandy landings and access to more than 400 records, some of them published for the first time.
The idea of marking cultural moments via the Google logo was born in 1998 when Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google's founders, placed a stick figure drawing behind the second 'o' in Google as a message to users that they were out of the office.
Later in the year a turkey was added on Thanksgiving Day, and two pumpkins were made out of the o's in October 1999.
Since 1998 there have been over 2,000 doodles on its home pages around the world, honouring major anniversaries and the birthdays of famous people including Albert Einstein and Michelangelo.
Google now has a full time doodle team of illustrators, animators and artists.


Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has launched a review into the use of firearms on land it manages, following animal welfare and safety concerns.

The organisation has called for evidence on whether guns are used "for the right reasons, in the right circumstances."
It will also look at how others - including some pheasant shoots - use NRW-managed land.
NRW itself uses firearms to "limit pest damage and help protected species."
Ceri Davies, NRW's director of evidence, policy and permitting said: "We know there will be differing opinions about the use of firearms.
"This is why we want to collect as much evidence as we can, from the widest range of stakeholders possible."
The organisation added that the review was created due to a combination of "implications from the new Environment (Wales) Act" and "following concerns from stakeholders."
Animal welfare group Animal Aid has said pheasant shoots on public land are a risk to animal welfare, protected species and safety.
According to the Wrexham-based British Association for Shooting and Conservation, the shooting industry is worth £64m to Wales and supports the equivalent of almost 2,500 full-time jobs.
Evidence needs to be submitted by 30 April 2017, and will be used to develop proposals for the use of firearms, which will then be opened to further consultation.


Comedian Frankie Boyle has strongly defended his tax arrangements after it was alleged he could have avoided paying nearly £900,000 tax last year.

Boyle said on Twitter
 that he had paid £2.7m in tax since 2007, which amounted to just under 40% of his income.
He said he was certain he paid more tax than most people in showbusiness and the cabinet.
The Daily Mail said
the tax could have been saved when he put his production company into voluntary liquidation.
It comes after fellow comic Jimmy Carr was criticised for using a complex scheme to reduce his tax payments.
The newspaper said Boyle, who mocked Carr after he hit the headlines, might also have been the beneficiary of sharp but legal accountancy methods to save tax on the millions of pounds he has earned through TV shows, tours, DVDs and book sales.
By closing Traskor Productions Limited, of which he was sole director and shareholder, the paper said he might have been able to pay a tax rate of 10%, rather than 50% if he had taken money out as dividends or income.
This is because he could have been entitled to "entrepreneur" tax relief, saving him £880,762, it said.
On Twitter Boyle wrote: "From 2007 I have paid £2.7m in tax and this equates to just under 40% of my income.
"There's a lot of things people do to avoid paying tax and I don't do any of them.
"I wound my company up for legal reasons separate from tax and my accountant applied for tax relief on this. This tax relief is approximately half of the tax saving the Mail quoted in its article today.
"I am certain I pay more tax than most people in show business and the cabinet."
Prime Minister David Cameron called Carr's use of the K2 tax scheme, which can lower the amount of tax paid as "morally wrong".
It is legal and Mr Carr made clear in his statement it was fully disclosed to HMRC.
He said he had "made a terrible error of judgement".
More than 1,000 people, including Carr, are thought to be using the Jersey-based K2 scheme, which is said to be sheltering £168m a year from the Treasury.


Jailed former Olympian Oscar Pistorius has been taken to hospital, authorities have confirmed.

Pistorius was jailed for six years in 2016 for murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.
An official statement confirmed that Pistorius "was this morning taken to an outside hospital establishment for medical examination".
Details of Pistorius' condition were not released, but he is expected to remain in hospital overnight.
A spokesman for South Africa's correctional services told broadcaster SABC that there was "nothing out of the ordinary" in Pistorius' hospitalisation.
The corrections service also played down earlier media reports that Pistorius had been suffering from "chest pains".
"I am not aware of [that report] or what he suffered from," a spokesman told Reuters news agency.
Pistorius has previously received hospital treatment in August 2016, after slipping in his cell and injuring his wrists.
The former athlete quickly rose to fame in the Paralympics, and made headlines when he became the first track and field athlete to compete in both the Paralympic and Olympic Games - racing against non-disabled athletes.
But in February 2013, he shot and killed Reeva Steenkamp at his home, alleging that he had mistaken her for an intruder.
His trial became the subject of widespread international attention, as he was initially cleared of murder in favour of a manslaughter charge - then convicted of murder on appeal in 2016.


The singer Lily Allen has spoken to BBC Newsnight about her experience of being stalked and how she believed the police response was to "victim-shame".

Speaking to presenter Kirsty Wark, an emotional Allen described how she was stalked by Alex Gray intermittently for seven years, although she was unaware of his identity for much of that time.
She tells how she gave the police letters which he had sent to her, and how police refused her request for a photograph of her stalker so she could have some idea of what he looked like.
Eventually she was shown one, albeit briefly. In October 2015, he finally broke into her house while she and her children were in bed.
The Metropolitan Police said it took stalking "extremely seriously" and sought to put victims at the heart of any inquiry.
You can hear Allen's abridged story here. Below, we print more extracts from her 25-minute interview with Wark.
Early in 2009 I played a concert at Koko which is a relatively small venue in Camden. I was on stage singing and during the concert I saw - often people hold banners up or messages for me - and I saw this banner that said "I wrote The Fear, where's my money" and I immediately knew that it was him and that was quite terrifying because I didn't know if he had a weapon on him ... Also I was the only person in the building that knew who he was and that was a really isolating moment for me, knowing that he knew that I knew but nobody else knew. I finished the song and then ran to the side of the stage where my assistant, who had been there, was on the side of the stage and said "Vicky, that's him. Can you call the police."
They came and installed a panic alarm at my flat. (She had no cause to use it). They came back and took it after six months - I didn't think there was much point in my objections. I knew what the answer would be - which was "it's been six months, there hasn't been any contact, we're going to take the alarms away now".
I believe it was in 2012. They [the police] said "no" at first and we pushed them for a photograph and they came over and showed us a photograph and then took it away.
I assumed that they would call me into the police station and there would be a line up but they didn't. I knew the outcome of the bail hearing might be that he's out on bail so I wanted to be there for that bail hearing on the off-chance he was released. I didn't quite trust the system to call me and find me if he was released so I wanted to make sure for myself that a) it was the right person and b) that he wasn't going to be released and, if he was, that I knew about it straight away.
I kept asking the police where are these letters, were they adding them to the indictment because, as far as I was concerned, that built our case for stalking but it didn't really seem like they were very interested in making it a stalking case. I assumed they would be adding them to the investigation but it turns out the letters were destroyed. I did have to take it upon myself to get the stalking charge added, which cost me a lot of money.
I felt like every time I went to court it provoked something in him that alerted the judge to how serious this thing was because I didn't really feel like the police or the Crown Prosecution Service were taking that seriously so I kept wanting to be there so that the judge or whoever was dealing with him could see what his feelings towards me were and deal with it appropriately. Police weren't aware that I was going to these court sessions - they didn't tell me about them, I found out about them myself.
I have felt more closure speaking to the Observer and speaking to you about this subject than I have about this whole investigation. I feel more strength now than I did on the day he was convicted. I feel like it's my duty to do this. There are women suffering who are terrified. It's life changing. It's life stealing is what it is. It's living in fear and it's really important to me to help other people in that position.
Earlier this month, Alex Gray, 30, from Perth, was convicted of harassment and burglary. He is awaiting sentencing.


A woman who was almost lured to Syria by so-called Islamic State after seeking help over domestic violence has said the experience was "scary".

Extremists targeted the woman, whose identity is being kept secret, after she said she appealed on Facebook for help after being abused by her husband.
She said they offered her protection, gifts and a house if she went to Syria.
But Derby-based project, Tackling Terrorism Through Women, intervened and persuaded her to stay.
The woman, known as Sophia, said: "I was upset and miserable at the time, I was confused and did not know where to go."
After seeing publicity which mentioned the targeting of vulnerable women, Sophia asked about the course.
"The centre talked to me about women's rights in Islam and how this country can offer your rights," she said.
"I learnt about vulnerability and how isolated I was and I realised IS were painting a wrong picture.
"They [the extremists] would say to me come to Syria, come and get married...There won't be any domestic violence.
"It was convincing at the time. They were trying to lure me in to go abroad. They offered me gifts and money to go...I did consider going.
"But then I came to the centre and realised I'd been misled," she said.
Sophia, who is no longer with her husband but still lives in Derby, added: "I had a lucky escape.
"If I hadn't had the advice and direction from (the anti-extremism group), I would have been in a big mess.... It's really scary."
Tazim Fayaz, one of the women heading the scheme, said: "People are more aware now what's happening online, how people are groomed and lured into travelling.
"And women know we'd be able to guide them to the relevant agencies - if needed and if they wanted to go."
The project, which is part of the controversial Prevent programme, claims to have stopped several Derby people from travelling to Syria.


A 38-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop after an accident.

The body of a woman was found in Hill Street, Kingswood, near Bristol, at about 00:45 GMT on Sunday.
Police said the 43-year-old's injuries were "consistent with her being involved in a road traffic collision".
A post-mortem examination and formal identification is due to take place later.
The death is still being treated as "unexplained" and police continue to appeal for information.
On Sunday Avon and Somerset Constabulary said about an hour before the woman was found dead, it received a call about a woman who was walking in the carriageway of the road.
Det Insp Louise Boyce said the incident had been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) as there had been police involvement before the woman's body was found.


Former Scotland captain Preston Mommsen has come out of retirement for the Saltires' June World Cricket League fixtures against Namibia.

The batsman, 29, stood down from the national team last year to pursue a career in property investment.
But Mommsen has agreed to use his annual leave entitlement to take part in the matches on 11 and 13 June.
Scotland also face Namibia in the four-day Intercontinental Cup match on 6 June, but Mommsen will not feature.
Cricket Scotland said in a statement: "After announcing his retirement from international cricket in late 2016, Preston Mommsen's inclusion for the WCL fixtures confirms the selectors' view that he is still considered one of Scotland's leading international batsmen.
"Mommsen, who still holds a burning ambition to be part of the Scotland set-up, is now working full-time but has taken leave to represent his country once more. Mommsen has been in fine early-season form for his club side Grange and has been training regularly with the national coaches."
Kyle Coetzer, who succeeded Mommsen as skipper, will lead the side with Con de Lange named as vice-captain.
The I-Cup meeting takes place at Ayr Cricket Club, while Edinburgh's Grange hosts the two WCL matches.
Scotland head coach Grant Bradburn added: "The team are looking forward to this block of international cricket at home throughout June.
"Preparation over the winter and early part of the summer has been excellent and the players are now itching to play. The I-Cup is a format we value highly, however we have had limited actual game time as 11 of our 16 days of I-Cup cricket during this three-year cycle have been washed out.
"We look forward to our opening contest against Namibia in Ayr, where the conditions normally offer something for every skill-set."
Scotland I-Cup squad: Kyle Coetzer (captain), Con de Lange (vice-captain), Richie Berrington, Matthew Cross, Alasdair Evans, Safyaan Sharif, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, Mark Watt, George Munsey, Craig Wallace, Chris Sole, Stuart Whittingham.
Scotland WCL squad: Kyle Coetzer (captain), Con de Lange (vice-captain), Richie Berrington, Matthew Cross, Alasdair Evans, Safyaan Sharif, Michael Leask, Preston Mommsen, Calum MacLeod, Mark Watt, George Munsey, Craig Wallace, Chris Sole, Stuart Whittingham.


Two men suspected of being involved in a spate of knifepoint robberies on taxi drivers in Portsmouth are being sought by police.

Police said the first taxi driver was robbed of his phone, cash and his taxi at about 22:30 GMT on Friday in Deerhurst Crescent, Paulsgrove.
About an hour later a second driver was robbed by two men in Tunstall Road.
A third taxi driver was then robbed by two men in the Almondsbury Road area shortly after 05:00.
Det Insp James Stewart said: "We are carrying out inquiries today to identify these people.
"We are working with local taxi companies in the Portsmouth area to ensure drivers feel safe, remain vigilant and report anyone suspicious to us."
Police described the two men as white. One of them is slim, about 6ft tall and in his early 40s. The other man is slightly younger with a larger build and is about 5ft 7in tall.
Police said the stolen taxi had since been recovered for forensic examination.


Fashion Sakala has set his sights on promotion to the senior national team following Zambia's elimination from the Fifa Under-20 World Cup in South Korea.

The African champions are back home after their 3-2 quarter-final defeat to Italy in Suwon on Monday.
Despite the Junior Chipolopolo's elimination, hopes are high that Sakala will kick on and justify all the hype around him.
"I know they [Zambians] expected us to win the trophy but  I'm not going to get frustrated or discouraged by this," Sakala told the BBC.
"I just have to stay focused and make the future beautiful. I know I can do well if I believe in myself.
"I think there will be lots of games for me to prove what I can contribute in football."
While football fans generally tend to hyperbolise, the excitement around Sakala is not without foundation.
I know I can do well if I believe in myself
Technically gifted and comfortable in possession, he scored four goals in the five matches that Zambia played in South Korea.
He was on target against Portugal, Iran, Germany and Italy.
Zambians are now hoping that the 20-year-old can develop into the kind of potent forward their national team can rely upon for years to come.
Sakala is yet to make his senior Chipolopolo debut but the fact that he has already sampled life in the first team at Spartak Moscow points to a promising future.
He made the big move to Russia's top flight from Zambian Super Division side Zanaco after helping his country win the African U-20 title early this year.
Possessing a fine first touch, bags of skill and an accurate finish, Sakala can play anywhere along the frontline but prefers the No.10 role.
"There are a lot of games for me; there are games for the senior national team ahead," he said with an eye on Zambia's upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations campaign.
Having proved that he is a lethal finisher, it seems a matter of time before he breaks into the senior national first team.
With Zambia looking to put the disappointment of missing out on the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations behind them, the emergence of the exciting 19-year-old forward is most convenient.
With a name like Fashion, expectations that he will turn the art of scoring into a show are perhaps inevitable.


The Scottish Conservatives have accused the Scottish government of wasting money on women's prisons before changing its plans.

The Tories said it was "sheer bad planning" to spend more than ??11m on a women's prison which will not be built and another which is to be closed.
Scotland's main female prison, Cornton Vale, is to be replaced by a series of units around the country.
The Scottish Prison Service said it was required to ensure decent conditions.
The Scottish Conservatives discovered through a freedom of information request that more than ??4m had been spent on renovations at Cornton Vale.
It also said a further ??7m was wasted in Inverclyde on a site earmarked for a prison - a plan which has since been scrapped.
MSP Alex Johnstone said: "Everyone accepts conditions for prisoners have to be of an acceptable standard, and from time to time money will have to be spent on renovations.
"But people will think it is sheer bad planning for the Scottish government to spend ??4m on a prison it knew was going to close within a few years.
"There must have been a more cost-effective solution that would ensure conditions were up to standard and the taxpayer got value for money.
"But if you add that to the ??7m wasted on the axed plans for a new super prison, it paints the SNP in an extremely incompetent light."
He added: "This is potentially reckless spending by the Scottish government, only for it to settle on a plan to build a brand new prison on the current Cornton Vale site."
A Scottish Prison Service spokesman said: "The SPS is required to spend money renovating its estate to ensure everyone held in prison is in decent conditions.
"The money spent in Inverclyde went on the site acquisition and ground works for the site.
"The original plan for the site was to build a replacement for Greenock Prison."
Previous justice secretary Kenny MacAskill wanted to build a new 300-inmate jail in Inverclyde.
But current justice secretary Michael Matheson dropped the plan, saying Scotland needed a new, radical approach for female offenders.
The new prison, to be built near the Cornton Vale facility, will house 80 of the most serious offenders.
There will be another five regional units to house 20 female prisoners each.
They will offer help over drugs, alcohol and domestic abuse and will allow offenders to be held close to their families.
A Scottish government spokesman said: "Investment in Cornton Vale is necessary as the prison will continue to be used for several years.
"The Scottish government is keen to transform prison services to help women break the cycle of reoffending and make a positive contribution to society, and we are engaging with partners with a view to investing in smaller regional and community-based custodial facilities, in line with the recommendations of an expert group headed by Dame Elish Angiolini QC."


Lebanon's health minister has warned that the country is facing a major health disaster because of the failure to collect huge amounts of rubbish.

Piles of rubbish have been mounting across Beirut for the last month following the closing down of the capital's main landfill site.
Arguments have since raged over the best way to tackle the problem.
The crisis has now become so acute that some residents have resorted to burning rubbish on the streets.
That in turn has resulted in toxic fumes enveloping parts of Beirut.
Health Minister Wael Abu Faour warned that Lebanon will suffer a "major health catastrophe" if the cabinet does not act immediately to address the problem. He was quoted in the as saying in the Lebanon Daily Star that "drastic measures" needed to be taken.
The minister said that Lebanon's environment - including water, sea and air - was threatened with contamination. He called for emergency measures to be speedily implemented.
Correspondents say that political wrangling in recent weeks has prevented the government from finding a consensus over the problem.
Residents of Beirut have had to contend with the stench of 20,000 tonnes of rubbish on the streets during the hottest time of the year.
Some have worn masks in an attempt to protect themselves from the foul smell, and thousands have vented their anger on social media.


Remarkable progress has been made in reducing the rate of growth in new HIV infections - the virus that causes Aids.

20 July 2016 Last updated at 08:43 BST
Better education, the availability of drugs that fight the spread of the virus and the prevention of HIV transmission to newborn babies have all played a role.
But it is proving stubborn to get rid of.
As South Africa hosts a major HIV-Aids conference, the BBC's Karen Allen has been to one of the country's HIV hot spots in KwaZulu-Natal.


Nicola Sturgeon has defended her government's record on education after a report raised concerns about the attainment gap in Scottish schools.

The new analysis by the Sutton Trust identified "major weaknesses" in performance in sciences in particular.
Opposition leaders described the report as "shameful" and blamed "catastrophic failures" by the SNP.
But Ms Sturgeon insisted her reforms were "narrowing" the gap between pupils from different backgrounds.
She said the report illustrated the importance of initiatives like the attainment fund, which gives money directly to head teachers.
Researchers from the Sutton Trust think tank found a gap equivalent to more than two years in schooling for science, reading and maths between pupils from less well-off backgrounds in the top 10% of achievers nationally, compared to their equally clever but better-off peers.
The analysis used figures from the latest international Pisa tests - which Ms Sturgeon observed were actually carried out almost two years ago.
The report said Scotland had "few stand-out strengths" when it comes to the performance of the most able pupils, but added that "the gap between able advantaged and disadvantaged children does not stand out as particularly large or small relative to other countries".
It said: "There is no specific area where able children in Scotland really excel. The major weaknesses include a pronounced and sustained decline in able pupils' performance in science, equivalent to around a year of schooling, over the last decade.
"It is also below the median OECD country in reading and mathematics, while trailing behind the performance of able pupils in England in most subject areas."
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said the report had revealed "particularly shameful" findings on attainment and science.
She said: "We now see the consequences of 10 wasted years of this SNP government and the harm it has done to the life chances of our pupils."
Ms Davidson described the government's legacy as a "generation of Scottish children who are being left behind in the race for qualifications and for future jobs".
In response, the Ms Sturgeon acknowledged the report as an "important" one, but said the data it was using pre-dates her latest reforms.
To be absolutely clear, this is not new data. The Sutton Trust has taken the international Pisa findings, published in December, and matched pupil performance to household income.
They confirmed that there was a significant gap in attainment between the offspring of poorer and wealthier households. Again to be clear, the gap was greater in England.
However, unlike in England, they discerned that the brightest Scottish school pupils were scoring below the average in developed countries. There had been a notable decline in science.
Now it is possible to challenge the Pisa findings, to question their methodology, their sampling, their interpretation. It is equally possible to challenge today's analysis by the Sutton Trust, an organisation which campaigns on behalf of disadvantaged children.
Would the Scottish government follow that route? John Swinney's solemn demeanour during the opening question from Ruth Davidson made clear: they would not.

Ms Sturgeon said said: "It is an important report. It is one that aids our understanding of the challenges we need to address in order to tackle the attainment gap.
"I think it is important to note, though, that the Sutton Trust does not present new data. It is analysis of the Pisa scores that were published in December. Of course, the Pisa scores are based on a survey that was carried out two years ago.
"A survey that pre-dates the attainment challenge and pre-dates the reforms to our education system that are under way."
Ms Sturgeon said there are signs of a "narrowing of the attainment gap".
She added: "I want to see it narrow further and I want to see it narrow faster, which is why we are taking the action that we are doing."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale also challenged the first minister on the report, saying it exposed "catastrophic failures" by the government.
She said: "Time and time again I have come here and argued that the SNP are leaving the poorest children behind. Now this report shows they are also holding the brightest children back."
Ms Dugdale recalled the first minister had said education would be the "defining priority" of her administration, but claimed that in power she is "failing a whole generation of children".
Ms Sturgeon pointed to additional cash going to schools as part of the attainment fund, which will see Â£120m given directly to head teachers.
The first minister said: "That is the kind of investment we need to see in our schools, the kind of investment that this government is delivering in our schools."
While she said politicians were right to ask questions about education, Ms Sturgeon also insisted they have "an obligation to get behind the reforms we are introducing".
She added: "Some of these reforms we see members on the Labour benches having initially backed them, but when they come under some pressure on them decide they don't back them at all.
"This Sutton Trust report underlines the importance and necessity of those reforms to education."


The family of Michael Brown, the black teenager shot dead by a policeman, say they are "crushed" by the grand jury's decision not to charge Darren Wilson.

Mr Brown's father told NBC news his son's character had been "crucified". Separately, Mr Brown's mother said Mr Wilson had been "disrespectful".
Mr Wilson, who shot dead Mr Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August, has told US media he has a "clean conscience".
There were protests over the ruling in 13 US cities on Tuesday night.
In Ferguson, there was some unrest as protesters scuffled with police, and a police car outside the town hall was set alight.
However, police said security was "much better" than Monday, when there was widespread rioting and looting, and more than a dozen buildings were set alight.
About 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed in the city on Tuesday night, up from 700 on Monday. Forty-four people were arrested.
Missouri governor Jay Nixon said the "ramped up presence" of the National Guard had been "helpful", and that he would monitor the situation to see if more resources were needed.
Rallies in the area continued on Wednesday, as at least 200 protesters gathered outside St Louis City Hall, holding a mock trial for Mr Wilson.
Some demonstrators stormed the hall, shouting "shame, shame", and forcing police to lockdown the building, AP news agency reported. Two people were reportedly arrested.
Anger at the ruling has spread to cities across the US.
Protests were reported on Tuesday night in 12 cities, in addition to Ferguson: Philadelphia, Seattle, Albuquerque, New York, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Oakland, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Portland, Chicago and Boston.
Those demonstrations were mostly peaceful, but rioting broke out in Oakland, California, where protesters started a street fire.
In Los Angeles, 130 protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct, the LA Times reported.
Police also arrested several demonstrators in Boston, Atlanta and New York, Reuters said.
Michael Brown was shot by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, on 9 August, sparking protests.
Speaking out after the verdict on Monday, Mr Wilson told US broadcaster ABC that he had a "clean conscience".
He said that before the shooting, Mr Brown had pushed him back into his car, hit him and grabbed at his drawn gun, and said that he felt "like a five-year-old holding on to [US wrestler] Hulk Hogan".
On Wednesday, Mr Brown's parents said that they did not believe Mr Wilson's account of events.
Mr Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, told NBC that Mr Wilson's remarks added "insult after injury" and were "disrespectful".
In a separate interview with CBS, she added: "I don't believe a word of it. I know my son far too well... Our son doesn't have a history of violence."
Meanwhile, Mr Brown's father, Michael Brown Sr, said that he felt "hurt" and "crushed" following the verdict.
He said that "terrible" things had been said about his son, and prosecutors had "crucified his character".
He also urged protesters to avoid violence, saying: "My son was a good guy, a quiet guy. So in his name, I want to keep it on a positive note."
Mr Brown's supporters said he was attempting to surrender to Mr Wilson when he was shot.
However, the state prosecutor said physical evidence had contradicted some of the witness statements.
Many in Ferguson's predominantly African-American community had called for Mr Wilson to be charged with murder, but the grand jury - of nine white and three black members - decided not to charge him.
The decision means Mr Wilson will not face state criminal charges over the shooting. However, the US Justice Department has also launched a federal investigation into whether Mr Wilson violated Mr Brown's civil rights.
Speaking from Chicago on Tuesday, President Barack Obama said there was "no excuse" for destructive behaviour and criminal acts of rioting.
However, he added that "many communities of colour" had a sense that laws were not being enforced "uniformly or fairly", and said he had ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to look at what steps could be taken to build trust.


Plans to spend thousands of pounds regenerating a run-down shopping area are to go before councillors.

Durham County Council proposes to buy and then demolish part of Festival Walk in Spennymoor town centre to replace it with a car park and new retail unit.
Remaining shops would be refurbished.
Council cabinet member for economic regeneration, Neil Foster, said the revitalisation would be "another big step forward in the regeneration of Spennymoor".
"By taking direct action, not only do we unlock a development that will be of huge benefit to Festival Walk but in a way that increases the parking to support the businesses and residents of the whole town, as well as making it more attractive to visitors," he said.
The centre's pervious owners, Castlemore, went into administration in 2009 and nearly two thirds of its capacity is now vacant, the council said.
Councillors are recommended to approve the plans and Â£600,000 council investment on Wednesday.


A health watchdog is concerned that people having beauty treatments like Botox could be at risk of infection from dirty needles.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says growing numbers of people are injecting tanning agents, dermal fillers and Botox at home and in salons, and some are lax about hygiene.
Sharing needles can spread blood-borne diseases like HIV and hepatitis C.
Nice is updating its advice for England and Wales accordingly.
The guidelines, which are out for public consultation, aim to encourage people to use sterile needle and syringe programmes to stem the spread of infections.
Most blood-borne diseases occur among people who inject drugs like heroin and anabolic steroids.
But NICE says people seeking out cosmetic fixes are also at risk.
A spokeswoman said: "We are seeing an increasing issue with drugs that are used for vanity purposes."
This includes the anti-wrinkle treatment Botox, dermal fillers and tanning agents.
Prof Mike Kelly, Director of the NICE Centre for Public Health Excellence, said: "Since we last published our guidance on needle and syringe programmes in 2009, we've seen an increase in the use of performance-and-image-enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids, Botox, tanning agents and the use of dermal fillers like collagen.
"We've also heard anecdotal evidence that more teenagers are injecting these performance-and-image-enhancing drugs too.
"We're updating our guidance - and our public consultation on the draft update is an important part of this process - to make sure all of these groups of people are considered in the planning and delivery of needle and syringe programmes."
One of the recommendations proposed in the new guidelines is that local councils consider providing sharps boxes for people to dispose of used needles and syringes.
Rajiv Grover, consultant plastic surgeon and president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), said: "Due to the lack of regulation in the cosmetic sector it is impossible to know how many patients could be at risk of blood borne diseases from needle sharing with either Botox or fillers.
"These should be considered medical procedures and BAAPS has campaigned for over a decade to have this field of non-surgical cosmetic treatments tightly regulated. The dangers of sharing needles in cosmetic injectables are so great that any practitioner who does this should be considered guilty of a criminal offence and nothing less."
Allergan, a healthcare company that provides Botox, said that Botox is a prescription-only medicine which should only be administered by a trained and qualified medical healthcare professional.
"These treatments should be carried out by appropriately trained and qualified medical practitioners, who have high levels of expertise in full-face anatomy and can provide sufficient aftercare and redress for the patient in the event of an adverse event," said a spokesman.


Abdulkadir Masharipov is suspected of killing 39 people of different nationalities only two hours into the New Year in the Reina nightclub in Istanbul.

Since being detained by Turkish security forces in a raid on an apartment in Istanbul on 16 January, more information has emerged on who he is and where he came from.
Officials questioning him hope to find out more about cells of so-called Islamic State (IS) in Turkey. The militant group has said it was behind the attack.
According to Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin, Abdulkadir Masharipov is a 34-year-old Uzbek who speaks four foreign languages - Chinese, Russian, Arabic and Turkish.
Mr Sahin said he had been "very well trained". Officials believe he trained as a militant both in Afghanistan and Pakistan and has contacts inside Syria with IS.
It is believed that Masharipov entered Turkey in January 2016, crossing the Iranian border illegally.
The same route has been used by human traffickers as well as smugglers, especially after the war in Afghanistan.
Radicalisation of young people from Central Asia is not unusual and about 4,000 people are believed to have travelled from the region to Syria in recent years.
A security analyst told the BBC that the suspect might have been hired by IS instead of being radicalised by the group.
Police raided a flat in the Istanbul suburb of Esenyurt and detained him and four other people - a man of Iraqi origin and three women from Senegal, Egypt and  Somali.
They also found weapons, ammunition, two drones and nearly $200,000 (Â£164,000).
Masharipov is alleged to have moved to the flat after carrying out the nightclub attack.
It is not yet clear what links, if any, the other people in the flat have to IS.


A Mexican red rump tarantula has been found wandering around in grass in Maesteg.

The spider - which is not generally harmful to humans - was spotted at the Garth Park ball court and reported to Bridgend County Borough Council.
After it had been collected, the council called in wildlife expert Dr Rhys Jones, from Cardiff University, for advice.
The council is now appealing for the spider's owner to come forward.
Dr Jones - best known as the star of the BBC One Wales series Rhys Jones's Wildlife Patrol - said: "It is unlikely that the spider would have travelled from distance, given the cold spring temperatures and the proximity of local houses.
"The surrounding habitat offered little interest or cover for that species of spider, given that it mainly consists of large open fields which are patrolled by many aerial predators, including gulls and crows.
"These birds would have easily spotted this tropical spider and - given half a chance - would have eaten her.
"All things considered, the spider had a very lucky escape before a bird or cat killed it."
The spider is not aggressive, and is currently being looked after by Dr Jones at Cardiff University.


A 16-year-old boy is being questioned over the murders of two British holidaymakers in Florida.

Shawn Tyson was arrested in connection with the deaths of James Kouzaris, 24, from Northampton, and James Cooper, 25, of Warwick.
The friends, ex-Sheffield University students, were found shot dead in the city of Sarasota on Saturday.
Police said the boy had previously been arrested for aggravated assault with a handgun on 7 April.
Officers said there was no known link between him and the two victims.
Police said they were called to the Newtown area of northern Sarasota at about 0300 local time.
A search revealed the bodies of Mr Kouzaris and Mr Cooper lying about 50ft apart on the street.
Sarasota police said the 16-year-old, who lives close to where the bodies were found, was arrested about 24 hours later.
Local officers said it was "very unusual" to find tourists in the area, several miles from recognised tourist zones.
The two friends had been staying with Mr Cooper's parents on the island city of Longboat Key, about 12 miles from where they were found.
Sarasota police chief Mikel Hollaway said detectives had their "suspicions (about what the two men were doing there) but at this time it would be unfair to state those".
Capt Paul Sutton, of Sarasota's police department, said detectives were "examining all theories" and "keeping an open mind" as to how and why the friends came to be in the "no-go" area.
He said the Britons may have befriended someone who gave them a lift, could have got a cab which detectives have not yet traced, or may have walked.
"Anything you could imagine is a possibility," he said.
Mr Sutton said there was no known link between the suspect and the victims.
"It is very unusual to find tourists or visitors in this area. It is a residential neighbourhood with no shops and no bars. We do not know what brought them here at 3am," he said.
Asked whether there could be more arrests in the case, Mr Sutton said: "We're looking at the possibility. More than one person ran when the shots were fired.
"Are other people involved or is it people who just happened to be there?"
Police confirmed the two Britons were not carrying any drugs but would not say whether they had any weapons or an unusually large amount of money.
Friends and family have paid tribute to the victims, describing them as role models who lived life to the full.
Mr Kouzaris' sister, Emily, posted a tribute to him on Facebook that read: "My brother was a legend and he will be missed and loved by many, many people."
His cousin Lynn Hucker wrote: "To a beautiful cousin who I will never forget. Always happy and full of life."
Ed Ferrari, research fellow from the University of Sheffield's Department of Town and Regional Planning, said Mr Kouzaris was committed to his studies and "his positive outlook and humour were infectious".
The tutor said: "He was just the sort of student any lecturer would hope to have in their class."
Mr Kouzaris, who was known as Jam, spent several months travelling in South America before his death, visiting Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Bolivia.
Mr Cooper worked as a tennis coach for inspire2coach, a company based at the University of Warwick and was due to become head coach when he returned from his holiday. He also played tennis for Warwickshire as a child.
James Roe, his friend and former coach, said Mr Cooper's claim to fame was that he had played against Andy Murray in a junior tournament.
"He was an only child and the apple of his mum and dad's eye.
"He was a model student and a cracking tennis player," the coach added.
Mr Cooper was also a Coventry City season ticket holder, he said.
Dr Jon Burchell, Senior Lecturer from the University of Sheffield's Management School, said Mr Cooper was hard-working and "popular among his peers".
The tutor said: "He had a good sense of humour and a range of plans for what he wanted to do after graduation."


Asian markets have had a mixed reaction to the nuclear test carried out by North Korea, its third since 2006.

South Korea's Kospi index dipped 0.3%. Analysts said the test was widely anticipated and was unlikely to have a major impact on investor sentiment.
Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei 225 index held on its earlier gains of nearly 2%
Japanese shares were boosted after the yen continued to dip, raising hopes of a profit boost for the country's leading exporters.
"This is kind of a known - unknown event," Jasper Kim, founder of Seoul-based Asia-Pacific Global Research Group told the BBC.
"Everyone knew that North Korea would conduct a nuclear test, the only questions were when, and how successful it would be.
"The markets have already factored in the test." he added.
Markets in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan were closed for Lunar New Year holidays.
The yen fell after a US official voiced support for Japan's recent policy moves to try and spur economic growth.
The moves have seen the yen slide more than 15% since November, leading to concerns that some countries may oppose Japan's aggressive stance.
The fear was that such criticism might prompt Japan to tone down its policy and the currency could rise again.
Analysts said that the support from US Treasury Under Secretary Lael Brainard, especially ahead of the meeting of the G20 group of nations later this week, had helped allay those fears.
The finance ministers and central bank officials from the G20 nations are scheduled to meet in Moscow and currency policies are expected to be a key topic of discussion.
"Investors were worried that finance ministers would criticise the recent weakness in the yen," said Hiroichi Nishi of SMBC Nikko Securities.
"While currency moves have been sensitive to officials' comments in general, people thought any comment from the G20 would trigger yen buying.
"But such worries are receding as she (Ms Brainard) said she supports Japan's efforts to end deflation," he added.
The Japanese currency fell nearly 2% to 94.25 yen against the US dollar and to 126.4 yen versus the euro in early Asian trade on Tuesday.
A weak yen bodes well for Japan's exporters as it not only makes their goods less expensive to foreign buyers but also boosts profits when they repatriate their foreign earnings back home.


Votes for assembly elections could be cast online if Plaid Cymru wins power, the party's leader has said.

Leanne Wood suggested a trial run of digital voting as part of a "democratic renewal", in a speech in Aberystwyth.
It follows the example of Estonia, where voting over the internet was introduced for elections in 2005.
Ms Wood has also pledged to lower the voting age for assembly elections to 16 under new powers promised to Wales.
Speaking at an event organised by the Electoral Reform Society, she added that Plaid Cymru would hold cabinet meetings outside Cardiff where the public could ask ministers questions.
Ms Wood said such openness would serve as a break with the "bunker mentality" of Labour.
"We will be accessible. We will be answerable. We will do our best to make Wales the best it can be," she said.
"We will doubtless get things wrong along the way. But we will not shy away from scrutiny or accountability."
Ms Wood also pledged to set up a National Youth Parliament, and promised that petitions attracting 10,000 signatures would be debated in the Senedd chamber.


Officials in India and Pakistan have agreed to re-schedule diplomatic talks which were postponed after a militant attack on an Indian air base.

India accused Pakistan-based group Jaish-e-Mohammad of carrying out the assault in which seven Indian troops and six militants were killed.
On Wednesday, Pakistan said it had arrested several members of the group.
On Thursday, India said arrangements were being made for a meeting between foreign secretaries of both countries.
Hopes for Delhi-Islamabad detente were raised in late December after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi  paid an unexpected visit to his counterpart Nawaz Sharif  on his way back from Afghanistan, and the two sides announced plans to resume peace talks. The attack has set back the peace initiative.
But on Thursday, officials from both sides said the talks remained on the agenda.
Pakistan foreign office spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah said talks would not be held on Friday and that a new date was being considered.
His Indian counterpart Vikas Swarup said "both foreign secretaries [have] agreed to meet in the very near future".
Mr Swarup said India was happy with the steps Pakistan had taken so far to arrest some Jaish-e-Mohammad members.
"The action against members of Jaish-e-Mohammed is a positive step. We welcome the step," he said.
India has also agreed to host a team from Pakistan to investigate the Pathankot attacks.
"We look forward to the visit of Pakistan SIT [Special Investigation Team] and our investigative agencies will extend all necessary cooperation," he said.
Both Mr Swarup and Mr Khalilullah did not confirm the arrest of Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Maulana Masood Azhar - a key demand from India.
Although Pakistan did not name those arrested on Wednesday, Indian and Pakistani media reports said Masood Azhar was among those detained.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says Mr Khalilullah's announcement suggests that India may not have found the arrests announced by Pakistan adequate enough.
But, continued engagement between the two sides indicates that India this time is willing to give time to Pakistan, instead of providing it with a chance to close its file on the matter, our correspondent adds.
The assault on the Pathankot air force base in Punjab, close to the Pakistan border, started on 2 January, when a group of gunmen - wearing Indian army uniforms - entered residential quarters on the air base.
The United Jihad Council - a coalition of more than a dozen militant groups fighting against Indian rule in Kashmir - claimed the attack.
The claim was met with scepticism - the UJC's core members are not known to have mounted attacks outside Indian-administered Kashmir.
Indian security officials instead blamed Jaish-e-Mohammed, an Islamist militant group based in Pakistan.
Started by Masood Azhar, Jaish-e-Mohammed has been blamed for attacks on Indian soil in the past, including one in 2001 on parliament in Delhi which took the nuclear-armed rivals to the brink of war.


The head of Greece's biggest bank has said it would be "insane" not to reach an agreement at emergency talks on Monday on the country's debt crisis.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will meet the leaders of the 18 other eurozone nations at a Brussels summit.
Louka Katseli, chair of the National Bank of Greece, told the BBC that banks were not under immediate threat of running out of money.
But she said the situation was serious, and without a deal would become severe.
Meanwhile, the Greek cabinet is holding an emergency meeting ahead of the crucial summit.
As part of a weekend of fevered activity,  European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras were reported to have held talks on Saturday, and were due to speak again on Sunday.
It comes amid attempts to prevent Greece defaulting on a €1.6bn (£1.1bn) IMF loan repayment.
Greece has until the end of June to make the payment or risk crashing out of the single currency and possibly the EU.
The European Commission, the IMF and the European Central Bank (ECB) are unwilling to unlock bailout funds until Greece agrees to economic reforms they want to see introduced.
They want Greece to implement a series of economic changes in areas such as pensions, VAT and on the budget surplus before releasing €7.2bn of funds, which have been delayed since February.
However, Mrs Katseli told BBC Radio 4's World At One programme that negotiations had been badly handled with "a lack of leadership" from the European Union side.
She also said that there could not be an agreement that deepened inequality and poverty in Greece.
In addition she predicted that Greece would not be forced to leave the euro because  "the cost for the eurozone, which they are down-playing, is really serious."
She added:  "If the markets decided the eurozone is not an irrevocable decision and a government can be declared insolvent, then the first thing that would happen is that there will be a speculative attack by the markets on the next weakest participant in the eurozone or the euro."
It has been reported that withdrawals by Greek savers between last Monday and Friday reached about €4.2bn, representing about 3% of household and corporate deposits held by Greek banks at the end of April.
But Greek banks are expected to open as normal on Monday following a loan from the ECB on Friday.
Earlier, Greek State Minister Alekos Flambouraris had said that new proposals would be put to creditors ahead of Monday's summit but he did not give details.
He also told Greek media he believed the ECB would not allow Greece's banks to collapse.
Mr Tsipras has said he believes "there will be a solution based on respecting EU rules and democracy which would allow Greece to return to growth in the euro".

Veteran broadcaster Robbie Shepherd is leaving BBC Radio Scotland's Take the Floor after 35 years this weekend.

The 80-year-old, a champion of the Doric dialect, was a compere and producer of variety shows before branching out into broadcasting.
He has presented the Scottish dance music show Take the Floor since the early 1980s.
BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie said: "Robbie is one of Scotland's most recognisable voices."
Robbie, explaining his broadcasting philosophy, said: "I like to think that I am broadcasting to a lady in the top tenement in Glasgow at the same time as I am chatting to a lady in a croft."
Thousands of listeners tune in to Take the Floor on Saturday evenings.
But Robbie has decided it is now time to step down from the show - and this weekend will be his final programme as permanent host.
Born in Dunecht in Aberdeenshire in 1936, he admits that when he first entered broadcasting he was initially "slated" for his accent in some quarters, and was just a "rough and ready country loon".
Since then his work has been recognised with an MBE, and he was also inducted into a hall of fame by the Trad Music Awards.
His career has included stints on BBC Scotland's Beechgrove Garden and presenting televised sheepdog trials.
As well as his broadcast work, Robbie has been a regular commentator on the Highland Games circuit - including the famous Braemar Gathering which is attended by The Queen and members of the royal family - and a much-travelled concert compere.
He has written books on Scottish dance music and Scottish country dancing, and has written a newspaper column in Doric.
Robbie, who turned 80 in May this year, prepares for Take the Floor at BBC Scotland's Beechgrove Terrace base.
Robbie said of the future: "I am taking a break, that is for sure."
He added with a smile: "But, as they say, I am a wanted man. I hope sincerely you have not heard the last of this Doric voice."
Mr MacQuarrie said: "Robbie is one Scotland's most recognisable voices and, over the years, he has been like a close family friend for many of our listeners.
"A passionate supporter of traditional Scottish music, Robbie has, over more than three decades, shared his in-depth knowledge and his infectious enthusiasm with generations of Radio Scotland audiences.
"I'd like to thank him personally, both for his work with Radio Scotland and also for his passionate commitment, championing Scottish traditional music across the country.
"Although we're grateful that he'll continue to work for us on one-off broadcasts in future, we wish him well as he prepares to Take the Floor for the final time."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she was "sad" the "broadcasting legend" was stepping down from Take the Floor and wished him the best.
Robbie said: "It has been 35 years of top-class music. From the great masters of the past to present-day performers, Scottish dance music continues to be a vibrant scene.
"So the time has come for me to hand over to a younger presenter (Gary Innes) and wish the Take the Floor team aw the best."
He added: "I would also like to thank the many hundreds of musicians, whose music we've featured, and the audiences in halls at our recordings across the country who have provided a great atmosphere for the show.
"I'll be looking fur ye all and aw the best."
Robbie, who is married to Esma, concluded: "It's been 35 years of sheer pleasure."
Robbie's final Take the Floor will be broadcast on Saturday 17 September at 19:00.


Suspected human remains have been found in a reservoir near Newport, police have said.

Gwent Police is investigating after a member of the public reported the discovery in Wentwood Reservoir.
There is a "possibility" they could be Sandie Bowen, whose husband murdered her in 1997 but never revealed where he hid her body, her daughter said.
The remains have been recovered and are being examined for identification purposes.
Mrs Bowen's daughter Anita Giles said police contacted her and told her they were carrying out examinations to establish if the remains were of her mother.
Forestry worker Mike Bowen was jailed for life in 1998 after his wife's blood and false teeth were found at their home in Llandogo, Monmouthshire.
Throughout his murder trial, he denied any involvement in her disappearance.
While Bowen finally admitted the killing in 2003, he refused to tell police where the body was, with police believing it had been buried in Wentwood forest.
Following the discovery, Ms Giles said police had been in touch with her.
She said: "They've contacted me because there is a possibility it may be my mother, but they won't know until the autopsy has been done - which could take up to two months."


A Palestinian has rammed his car into a group of Israeli pedestrians in Jerusalem, injuring six policewomen, police say.

It happened on the seam of East and West Jerusalem, on the same junction as a previous attack last year.
Police say the driver tried to stab people before he was shot and seriously wounded by a security guard.
The incident came shortly after Palestinian officials voted to halt security co-operation with Israel.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld described it as a "terrorist attack", adding that the injured officers are in a "light, moderate condition" in hospital.
Local media have identified the attacker as Mohammed Salaymeh and there are reports of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces around his home in East Jerusalem.
The attack took place as the streets were busy with people celebrating the Jewish holiday of Purim.
The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) voted to suspend co-operation, part of 1993 peace accords with Israel, at a meeting on Thursday night. The move requires the stamp of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in order to be put into effect.
It follows Israel's decision to suspend the transfer of taxes to the Palestinians after they applied to join the International Criminal Court to pursue war crimes allegations against Israel.
Last year, Palestinian militants killed three Israelis and an Ecuadorian woman in attacks using vehicles in Jerusalem as tensions soared between Israel and the Palestinians.
Israel has occupied East Jerusalem since the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it in a move not recognised internationally.
It regards the whole of Jerusalem as its "eternal and indivisible" capital, while the Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
Correction 13 March 2015: The article has been amended to make clear that a suspension of security co-operation with Israel is not automatic.


The archaeological ruins of a medieval city in Monmouthshire could be turned into a tourist attraction, under new plans.

For 10 years, amateur archaeologists have been digging up the 13th Century "Lost City" of Trellech, which has appeared on several TV programmes, including Digging for Britain.
Owner Stuart Wilson hopes to submit plans to Monmouthshire council to build a research centre and camp site there.
He said it could boost tourism.
Mr Wilson, 37, of Chepstow, is waiting for the council to remove a restrictive covenant on his 4.6 acre (1.86-hectare) plot, before he submits plans for a camp site with up to 200 places, amenities and an exhibition centre
"It would be adding a heritage site and a boost to tourism in the area," he said.
"It's an opportunity to come along to dig and get experience."
Mr Wilson, who used his Â£32,000 life savings to buy the site in 2004, has uncovered eight buildings which he believes form part of the footprint of an iron boom town dating to the mid-1200s.
He hopes that, if his forthcoming planning application goes through without much delay, the new attraction may be open by the summer of 2018.


Wayne Rooney's return to his first club Everton has ended a 13-year association with Manchester United.

During that time, he has captained the club, made 559 appearances, scored 253 goals, including a volley against Newcastle and an overhead kick against Manchester City that will surely go down as two of the greatest United have ever scored.
He won five league titles, an FA Cup, three League Cups, the Champions League, the Europa League and a Club World Cup.
He was named PFA Player of the Year in 2010, was twice the Young Player of the Year, and three times was named in the team of the year.
But how will he be remembered at Old Trafford? And how does that fit with his achievements on the field?
BBC Sport's Simon Stone: Day after day, in season or out, tourists and fans have their pictures taken next to the 'Holy Trinity' statue outside Old Trafford.
During games, supporters still sing regularly in homage to famous past players.
Wayne Rooney won more trophies at Manchester United than Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best, Denis Law, Eric Cantona or Cristiano Ronaldo. He scored more goals. Apart from Charlton, he played more times than any of them.
But genuine affection has, largely, proved elusive - and a precise reason is difficult to pinpoint.
Those two highly public attempts to leave - especially the first time in October 2010, when he accused United of "lacking ambition" - left a stain, even though Rooney was articulating what many fans felt about perceived financial restrictions placed on the club by the Glazer family ownership.

Maybe it is the sense of unfulfilled potential. After all, between his arrival in 2004 and that ill-fated 2006 World Cup, Rooney was the senior youngster to Cristiano Ronaldo, the player more likely to achieve the staggering heights the Portuguese has gone on to reach.
Maybe it is his accent. Maybe a Liverpudlian could not truly be accepted by the Old Trafford faithful.
Whatever the reason, it is unbelievably harsh.
Maybe, as with David Beckham, the passing of time will allow Rooney's United career to be judged more favourably.
Certainly, if recent history is any guide, it may be a while before any newcomer arrives at Old Trafford and creates the legacy Rooney is leaving behind.
Michael Cox is the editor of Zonal Marking and has recently published a book called The Mixer, which studies the tactical history of the Premier League.
Cox: Rooney is an interesting player in a tactical sense because he has struggled to find his best position.
He broke through as a number 10, a bit like Paul Gascoigne. He was determined and had a powerful running style but he did not have the tactical discipline like others would in that position.
And yet his best season was the 2009-10 campaign, when he played as an out-and-out striker and scored lots of goals - 35 in all competitions.
In recent years, he has lost his acceleration and has had to drop into midfield. However, he has not taken to that role because he does not have the mobility to play there.
He has been very consistent in his goalscoring returns but sometimes former manager Sir Alex Ferguson and his successors were not able to fit him into one particular role.
Nonetheless, becoming the club's top scorer is an astonishing achievement. The same at international level too.
In terms of the record books, he will be remembered very fondly by both United and England fans - but at any one point there has always been an uncertainty about him, whether it was his physical fitness, mental wellbeing or tactical role in the side. He has had a peculiar career, consistent yet inconsistent within seasons.
Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo would be in the top tier of the best Premier League players of all time. Then we have Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and David Beckham.
Rooney would be on the fringes of the top 10. He did not dominate the league like the other players and I don't think there was one particular season where Rooney won United the title.
Rooney's peak is hard to nail down. At international level it was 2004 and that was when United were not challenging for the title. His peak did not coincide with United's.

The signs were there from the very start that Rooney's could be a stellar Old Trafford career.
In his first game following a £27m move from Everton in 2004, he scored a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in a 6-2 Champions League win.
He did not look back, reaching double figures in every season that followed apart from 2016-17, including a career-high 34 in all competitions in 2009-10 and 2011-12.


A man who ran naked through a women's anti-violence rally has been sentenced.

Peter Barker, 45, had been drinking on a stag do for eight hours when he stripped off in Nottingham's Old Market Square on October 24 and ran through a Reclaim the Night demonstration.
During an earlier hearing at the city's magistrates' court, Barker, of Beeston, admitted committing a public nuisance by indecently exposing himself.
He has been fined £325 and must undertake 80 hours of unpaid work.
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
Mark Kennedy, prosecuting, said Barker had started drinking at lunchtime that day.
At about 20:00 BST, he removed all his clothes and ran through the middle of the group of demonstrators, which included around 100 women and "children as young as eight", in just his boots.
A police officer gave chase as he ran through the square, apprehending him a few seconds later.
The police officer reported that Barker had said "it was only a laugh".
"He was not aware of the demonstration... and regretted the bad timing of his decision," Mr Kennedy said.
"It was not meant to trouble any of the ladies or children present."
Defending, Katherine Macmillan said Barker had regretted the incident "as soon as he was sober".
"He described it as the actions of a silly, drunk man," she said, adding that he had thought it was the early hours of the morning.
"It is quite clear that this was a stupid prank, ill-thought through," she said.
Chloe Cheeseman, from anti-domestic violence charity Equation, who was at the march, has called for Mr Barker to make a donation to a local anti-violence charity.
She said the women were "not easily deterred" from the focus of the rally and were "pleased" to see how quickly the police apprehended him.
"That said, this was a woman-only event celebrating women's self-organised actions against violence, and Mr Barker interrupted a powerful speech by a local woman in a grossly offensive way," she added.
"I personally welcome his apology and the fact he has been prosecuted."
He was sentenced to 80 hours' unpaid work and ordered to pay a £180 criminal court charge, a £60 victim surcharge and £85 costs.


US President Barack Obama has led tributes to astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon, who died on Saturday at the age of 82.

Mr Obama said on his Twitter feed: "Neil Armstrong was a hero not just of his time, but of all time."
Hundreds of millions watched Armstrong land on the Moon on 20 July 1969 and describe it as: "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
The line became one of the most famous quotes of the 20th Century.
Armstrong's family confirmed his death in a statement on Saturday, saying he had died from complications after surgery to relieve four blocked coronary arteries.
The family statement praised him as a "reluctant American hero" and urged his fans to honour his example of "service, accomplishment and modesty".
Life in pictures: Neil Armstrong

'Diffident' emissary of mankind
"The next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink," the family said.
Mr Obama thanked Armstrong for showing the world "the power of one small step".
Last November he received the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest US civilian award.
Many of Armstrong's colleagues and friends paid tribute to him as a modest, private man who never sought the limelight.
Michael Collins, a pilot on the Apollo 11 Moon mission, said: "He was the best, and I will miss him terribly."
Armstrong famously refused most public appearances and interviews.
In a rare interview with Australian TV this year, he reflected on a moment during his three hours on the Moon when he stopped to commemorate US astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts who had died in action.
"It was special and memorable, but it was only instantaneous because there was work to do," he said.
More than 500 million TV viewers around the world watched its touchdown on the lunar surface.
Armstrong and fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin collected samples, conducted experiments and took photographs during their moonwalk.
Mr Aldrin told the BBC he would remember his colleague as a "very capable commander and leader of a world achievement".
"We're missing a great spokesman and leader in the space programme," he said.
Apollo 11 was Armstrong's last space mission. In 1971, he left the US space agency Nasa to teach aerospace engineering.
Born in 1930 and raised in Ohio, Armstrong took his first flight aged six with his father and formed a lifelong passion for flying.
He flew Navy fighter jets during the Korean War in the 1950s, and joined the US space programme in 1962.
Correspondents say Armstrong remained modest and never allowed himself to be caught up in the glamour of space exploration.
"I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer," he said in February 2000 in a rare public appearance.
Nasa chief Charles Bolden paid tribute to him as "one of America's great explorers".
"As long as there are history books, Neil Armstrong will be included in them, remembered for taking humankind's first small step on a world beyond our own."


The political focus of attention has been on cabinet splits recently, not on shadow cabinet unease.

Backed by nearly 60% of Labour members and supporters and presiding over a growing party, Jeremy Corbyn's position should be unassailable.
It isn't, of course, because overwhelmingly his MPs still don't believe he will lead Labour to success at the general election.
The expected wave of criticism after the English local elections was in the end a mere trickle, as a lacklustre performance in many areas was overshadowed by victory in London, and in some councils in southern England.
The need to refocus on the referendum also stemmed the flow of denunciations.
Talk of leadership challenges hasn't evaporated, though.
Mr Corbyn has moved swiftly following the local elections to deprive critics of a stick with which to beat him - failure to campaign with any vigour to stay in the EU.
Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour leadership
Who's who: Labour's Shadow Cabinet
He has featured in a glossy pro-EU Labour leaflet and delivered speeches around the country on the "progressive case" for continued membership.
Sotto voce critics in the shadow cabinet believe now isn't the time to try to depose him, and that many new members attracted to Labour by his anti-austerity platform would see this as a parliamentary coup and rally to his defence.
Some senior shadow cabinet members had been keen to commission polling to see if new members were becoming any more sceptical about Corbyn's leadership - and last month the Times obliged.
A YouGov survey suggested that nearly two-thirds of party members would either definitely or probably vote for him again - confirming the cautious approach taken by some of his critics to an early attempt to oust him.
So the assumption is that, if challenged, Mr Corbyn would get enough MPs to re-nominate him and enough party members would support him - so why strengthen his position?
That's not to say others outside the shadow cabinet won't move to try to undermine him.
They fear Mr Corbyn's supporters will change Labour's rules at this autumn's annual conference to make a challenge more difficult, and to make it easier to nominate another left-winger should he stand down before the next election.
But at the grass-roots level there has been plenty of activity in the undergrowth.
Self-styled moderates say activists from Momentum - the organisation set up to keep alive the spirit of the Corbyn leadership campaign - tend to be concentrated in certain areas.
There have been battles to win delegates to Labour's annual conference and some on the centre and right are confident they will win enough positions to see off any rule changes beneficial to the leadership.
That would give them longer to think and plan a leadership challenge.
Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn has been doing what he can to avoid further open division.
Jeremy Corbyn is nothing if not consistent. In the mid-1980s he campaigned against what he saw as a "witch hunt" against members of the Militant Tendency, as Neil Kinnock denounced them and had them purged from his party.
These members, though, were indeed "witches" in the sense that they actually belonged to a different political party, the Revolutionary Socialist League - a Trotskyite organisation which aimed (with some success) to infiltrate Labour.
Mr Corbyn was never a member of any such group, but he always favoured keeping the door on the left of Labour's broad church open.
More than that - unlike some of his close allies - he isn't a natural knife-wielder.
When he was selected as the candidate for Islington North, his local Labour party was bitterly divided.
What helped gain him the nomination wasn't a purge of those to his right, it was the departure of "self-purging" members who left to join the new SDP.
But Mr Corbyn to this day believes that it was the division of the left - rather than Labour's pro-CND, anti-EU, pro-nationalisation manifesto - which cost his party the subsequent 1983 election and he isn't keen to cause a formal split again.
So while he hasn't compromised on his views - hence the review of his party's defence policy - he has signalled he wants to lead a broad movement from the left rather than a narrower but purer sect.
By putting the mainstream chief whip Rosie Winterton in charge of Labour's response to the boundary reviews - which some on the left wanted to use as a means of deselecting MPs whose views they didn't like - he has signalled he isn't ready to launch an all-out assault on internal critics.
This despite calls from delegates at the GMB union conference this week to unseat disloyal members of the parliamentary party.
He also spoke recently at the annual conference of Progress, the modernising group in the party set up by, among others, Peter Mandelson - an organisation which, according to shadow chancellor John McDonnell has a "hard-right" agenda.
Even Mr Corbyn's much-trailed "revenge reshuffle" at the start of the year left in place shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn, who had publicly dissented from his line on Syria.
That was nonetheless seen as a sign of weakness, not magnanimity, as Benn's departure would probably have been followed by others.
There is little doubt, however, Mr Corbyn has a greater interest in defending those to his left from expulsion.
During the leadership contest last summer, various people suspected of not sharing Labour's aims and values were weeded out of participating.
But those who suffered most from what was a relatively modest political purge were members, or recent members, of the Green Party.
It was fairly easy to establish if they had previously stood as candidates against Labour.
But many Trotskyist groupings don't often stand candidates against official Labour representatives, and relatively few - with some high-profile exceptions - were stopped from signing up as supporters and voting for the man who became party leader.
Mr Corbyn certainly wouldn't favour throwing out those who might have to come to his aid in another contest.
Nonetheless, beneath the surface, Labour's HQ-based Compliance Unit has diligently gone about its work of implementing and overseeing adherence to the party's rules - much to the chagrin, for example, of Trotskyite group Socialist Appeal.
They have circulated a draft motion to supporters in Labour Party branches which states:
"This branch notes that there has been a wave of expulsions across the country of Jeremy supporters and socialist activists... carried through by the shadowy and unaccountable Compliance Unit.
"We call for the abolition of the Compliance Unit, which is acting in the manner of a vigilante as a law unto itself."
Note that they say the unit is "a law unto itself" - that is, this is not being done at the beck and call of the leader.
But what has bolstered the spirits of some of Mr Corbyn's internal opponents has been his response to the recent spate of allegations of anti-Semitism among a small number of party members.
He was initially criticised for acting too slowly but in the end, defended the use of the party machinery to suspend, investigate, and ultimately expel members who were alleged to have made anti-Semitic pronouncements - long-standing ally Ken Livingstone among them.
The row has made it likely that the Compliance Unit will, if anything, be beefed up and not abolished.
And all this, in turn, is beginning - just beginning - to draw criticism from the left.
The Trotskyist Socialist Worker opined recently: "It's essential to defend the right of socialists to criticise Israel and oppose Zionism.
"There's a real danger that, in their seemingly endless adjustments to pressure from the right, Mr Corbyn - and especially John McDonnell - may lose sight of this."
And a Labour-supporting contributor to the Morning Star - once the organ of the Communist Party - called for the Labour leadership to do more to face down its critics and make clear: "Anti-Zionism has nothing to do with anti-Semitism."
Those on the left are also pushing for the rules in selecting Labour mayoral candidates to be brought in to line with the rules for selecting a Labour leader - giving newer members a say.
There will be disappointment if the leadership isn't able to bring this about.
The hope of some long-standing Labour members and MPs is that many of the newer members from the far left get disillusioned with either Mr Corbyn or with what the party machine is apparently doing to him and simply clear off, leaving behind those on the soft-left who will genuinely worry whether he is the right person to lead Labour to victory.
They take heart from that recent Times poll which suggested that while around two-thirds of members would back Mr Corbyn now, fewer than half (45%) regarded him as competent. With more time, they hope more people will come to the view that his leadership is a lost cause.
But that's for the future. While some MPs report little activity at election time from the more recent members there is little evidence to suggest these armchair radicals won't still be in the driving seat when the next leadership contest comes.


Patients could get innovative cancer drugs more quickly under plans to overhaul England's controversial Cancer Drugs Fund.

It currently pays for drugs the NHS has decided are unaffordable, but the health service says the fund is "no longer sustainable".
A consultation document proposes giving patients drugs "with genuine promise" while they are being assessed.
The NHS would then decide whether they should be funded.
Simon Stevens, chief executive of NHS England, said: "Over the next five years we're likely to see many new cancer drugs coming on to the worldwide market, some of which will be major therapeutic breakthroughs and some of which will turn out to offer little extra patient benefit but at enormous cost.
"The new Cancer Drugs Fund offers a route for sorting out the wheat from the chaff, so that patients in England get faster access to the genuinely most promising new treatments."
At present, the Cancer Drugs Fund can choose to pay for innovative drugs which the health watchdog, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), has rejected for widespread use on the NHS.
But under the plans NICE would make all the decisions.
When a drug comes on to the market, NICE will give it the go-ahead for the whole NHS, reject it entirely or put it on the CDF while more data is collected.
A drug can be on the fund for up to two years before NICE must make a final decision to accept or reject the therapy.
The fund, which was established in 2011 and covers England, has seen its costs rise to Â£340m in 2015-16 from an initial budget of Â£200m a year.
Prof Paul Workman, chief executive of The Institute of Cancer Research, said it made sense for the Cancer Drugs Fund to pay for new drugs only after a provisional green light from NICE.
This would avoid duplicating the process for deciding whether drugs should be made available on the NHS, he said.
He added: "There are also promising signs of a desire to address the bottleneck we have in cancer drugs being approved for use on the NHS.
"The proposals could speed up the drug evaluation system - which is good news for everyone - and would increase the number of drugs which would be available for consideration under end-of-life criteria."
He also said he welcomed the move to allow new patients access to promising treatments while further evidence on them was collected.
In the past decade only one new drug has been approved by NICE for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
Annwen Jones, chief executive of Target Ovarian Cancer, said: "Any new appraisal system must maintain access to those drugs already available and find ways to improve access to the few new drugs that are being developed for ovarian cancer."
She said it was important that the new CDF represented and addressed patient needs.


A teenager has made a documentary to help save a hospital unit where she had open heart surgery aged 10.

Ellie Kemp, 18, from Keyworth, created the film at college to support the children's heart unit at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester.
The student said she owed her life to medical staff.
Plans to end children's heart surgery in Leicester and divert patients to Birmingham were announced in July 2016, as part of a national review.
Live updates from the East Midlands
Ellie, a film student at Confetti Institute, Nottingham, made the documentary exploring what it is like to live with congenital heart disease and to highlight the work of medical staff at the unit.
She said: "If it wasn't for Glenfield and if they didn't pick up my heart condition when they did, who knows where I would be in the next 10 or so years.
"The kind of heart condition I had, if it wasn't picked up and treated it would have just got worse and worse until it would have been too late.
"[Glenfield] is the only heart unit in the East Midlands so surely that would be putting more pressure on these bigger centres which will have their own patients.
"They've saved me, they've saved so many other people and it just seems unnecessary to close it."
Ellie's mum Sharon Kemp said: "I'm so proud of her and to highlight this.
"A lot of people need to hear the story because if you've not been down that road you don't know anything about it."
In 2016, NHS England said surgery for children with heart defects should stop at Glenfield.
The hospital was told it did not meet new standards set by the NHS following a national review in 2015.
However, a final decision has yet to be made and the public consultation is due to end on 17 July.


Two former top Bosnian Serb officials have been convicted by the war crimes tribunal in The Hague over atrocities committed during the Bosnian conflict of the 1990s.

Both Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin were sentenced to 22 years in jail.
Stanisic was interior minister of the Bosnian Serb republic and Zupljanin a senior security official.
The court said both took part in a campaign to remove Muslims, Croats and other non-Serbs from the region.
They were convicted of crimes against humanity including acts of murder, torture, unlawful detention, deportation and plunder in various parts of Bosnia in 1992.
In its ruling, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) said the two had taken part in a "joint criminal enterprise with the objective to permanently remove non-Serbs from the territory of a planned Serbian state".
Stanisic, 58, gave himself up in 2005.  Zupljanin, a former police chief in the north-western Bosanska Krajina region was arrested in 2008 after more than nine years on the run.
Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic and his military commander Ratko Mladic are still on trial at the ICTY over atrocities committed during the conflict, including the Srebrenica massacre of 1995.
About 100,000 people were killed during the Bosnian conflict.
