A Swansea factory worker has been ordered to compensate a colleague after secretly slipping a laxative into his soup as a "silly joke".

Krystof Jedizejczyk, 40, admitted dropping a tablet into a soup bowl during a night shift, but his victim spotted it and reported it.
Swansea Crown Court heard the pair worked together at ready meal makers Fei Foods, but had fallen out.
Jedizejczyk of Swansea was ordered to pay Â£400 compensation.
He was also handed a 12-month community order and 150 hours of community service.
Jedizejczyk told police it was a "silly joke" - but later admitted it was a serious offence.


Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said he was "not influenced at all" by a banner flown above the Bet365 Stadium saying 'Wenger - out means out'.

The Gunners beat Stoke 4-1 on Saturday to move one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
Sections of the club's support have called for Wenger, who is yet to announce his future plans, to leave.
The 67-year-old said: "I want to focus on football and all the rest is, for me, less important."
Wenger, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has been in charge of Arsenal since 1996.

He led the club to two league and cup Doubles within the first six years, but they have not won the Premier League since 2004 and have only won two trophies - the FA Cup twice - in the past 12 years.
Olivier Giroud scored twice in the victory at Stoke, with Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez also on target.
Wenger said: "I am paid to do my job for a club I love. I will do that as long as I am here, with full commitment, and I am not influenced by that at all.
"I am not in politics, I am in sport. I love sport, I give 24 hours a day for what I love and all the rest - I am in a public job, some agree with me, some do not."
When told about reports in France suggesting he will sign a new one-year deal, he said: "There is no information about that, nothing."
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright: "People are saying that when the pressure is on Arsenal don't react. But in the last few games they have reacted to being out of the Champions League places.
"I believe if they win the FA Cup that's got to be a good season. You've got to take silverware."


A former police officer has been found guilty of misconduct in public office over "inappropriate" behaviour towards two teenage girls.

PC Keith Burgess, who was a Southampton neighbourhood officer, sent "flirtatious" messages and acted inappropriately towards the girls in 2014 and 2015.
The 42-year-old was cleared of sending sexually explicit messages, three counts of sexual assault, a child grooming offence and two child pornography charges.
Judge Jonathan Black warned him he faces jail when sentenced on 30 June.

Married Burgess closed his eyes as the jury returned its verdicts at Guildford Crown Court.
The former officer, who was dismissed from Hampshire Constabulary in 2016, was released on conditional bail ahead of sentencing.
Judge Black ordered the jury to find him not guilty due to insufficient evidence of the explicit messages, sexual assault, child grooming and child pornography charges.
But the jury was left to consider three counts of misconduct in public office, of which he was found guilty of two relating to two girls.
The judge said: "You have been convicted of two matters, you are a man of previous good character and you must realise you face a prison sentence for these matters."
Burgess was cleared of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old in the kitchen of her home while her mother sat in the next room.
But he was found guilty of misconduct in relation to his behaviour towards her.
He was also found guilty of misconduct for sending "flirtatious" messages to a 17-year-old girl and asking for pictures of her in return.
Burgess denied any sexual motive behind sending money to a third girl, aged 15, and said it had been to "help her out" financially.
He was cleared of misconduct and grooming in relation to her.
Deputy Chief Constable Sara Glen, of Hampshire Police, said: "There is no place in policing for those who ignore their professional duty and moral responsibility."


The EU is moving to prop up peach and nectarine growers who are in financial trouble because of bad weather and Russian sanctions introduced last week.

The European Commission plans to pay growers for 10% of their crop, which will be withdrawn from sale and distributed free to schools, hospitals and prisons, a spokesman told the BBC.
Reducing the supply on sale should push prices up. Normally the volume of fruit eligible for withdrawal is 5%.
Russia has shut out many EU food items.
EU fruit exports to Russia last year were worth 1.07bn euros (Â£855m; $1.4bn) - the biggest agricultural export sector, ahead of dairy produce and meat.
Russia gave details of the embargo on 7 August, linking it directly to EU sanctions imposed earlier on Russia. The food import ban also applies to the US, Canada, Australia and Norway.
EU and US sanctions are targeting top Russian officials and key economic sectors, such as energy and finance, as Western leaders accuse the Kremlin of destabilising eastern Ukraine by supporting the pro-Russian separatists there.
"Following the recent decline in prices on the peach and nectarine markets, urgent action is needed to prop up the market," EU Agriculture Commissioner Dacian Ciolos said.
"We are monitoring markets closely and I will not hesitate to do likewise to assist other sectors dependent on exports to Russia, should it be necessary."
The emergency aid for fruit growers will come from a new 420m-euro fund set up under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). It is expected to cost the EU about 30m euros.
"We shave off 1% from the direct payments for all farmers and hold it in this reserve, for market crises," the Commission's agriculture spokesman Roger Waite said.
France, Greece, Italy and Spain are the main EU peach and nectarine producers.
Special support for them had already been under discussion before the Russian sanctions, Mr Waite said, because fine weather had produced a glut early in the season, then a cold snap in June caused a sudden drop in demand.
Agriculture experts from the 28 EU member states will meet on Thursday to assess the impact of the Russian one-year import embargo and consider alternative markets for affected EU food exports.
Poland has asked the EU to compensate its apple growers, hit hard by the Russian embargo, Reuters news agency reports. Russia imposed a ban on fruit and vegetables from Poland on 1 August, before announcing the EU-wide ban.


A group of food takeaway couriers working for Deliveroo are taking legal steps in the UK to gain union recognition and workers' rights.

It comes after two drivers for Uber won a tribunal case in which they argued they were workers not contractors.
If the couriers win, it could encourage thousands of those working in the so-called gig economy to seek to unionise and receive rights such as paid leave.
Deliveroo said it was committed to providing "great opportunities".
The company, which provides a delivery service on behalf of thousands of restaurants across the country, classes its riders as self-employed "independent contractors". This means they have no workers' rights such as paid holiday and the right to the minimum wage.
Billy Shannon, a rider who works for Deliveroo in Camden, north London, said riders receive Â£3.75 per delivery.
He added: "We don't get an hourly fee, so that means at times when there aren't that many deliveries and it is not that busy, we can be waiting for up to an hour for a delivery without getting paid a penny."
The BBC has seen a letter from the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB), on behalf of riders in north London, asking Deliveroo for recognition for the union to bargain on behalf of the group.
Collective bargaining laws in the UK apply to those classed as workers and employees, but not independent contractors.
IWGB general secretary Dr Jason Moyer-Lee said it was seeking a collective bargaining agreement to allow the union to negotiate pay and terms and conditions with Deliveroo managers.
He added: "If Deliveroo ignores or rejects our request, then we will take them to tribunal and ask for a declaration that Deliveroo must engage in collective bargaining with us.
"To do this the tribunal will also have to decide that the Deliveroo drivers are workers and not independent contractors, which means they will also be entitled to paid holiday, minimum wage, and all the other rights associated with this employment status."
In October, two drivers for Uber, the company behind a taxi-hailing app, won a case at a London employment tribunal which gave them the right to be classed as workers rather than self-employed independent contractors.
The ruling said: "The notion that Uber in London is a mosaic of 30,000 small businesses linked by a common 'platform' is to our mind faintly ridiculous."
The action being taken by IWGB is another, and potentially faster, way of achieving worker status for riders than a full employment tribunal.
If it succeeds it could benefit the 8,000 riders working with Deliveroo in the UK.
Dr Moyer-Lee said the legal action being taken by IWGB was challenging the basis of the so-called gig economy.
"Gig economy employers like Uber and Deliveroo claim their workers don't work for them but are rather independent contractors running their own businesses," he added.
"We say they do work for them and as such should be entitled to paid holidays, minimum wage, and collective bargaining rights."
They way people work is changing and the Uber and Deliveroo model does suit some who want to work flexible hours, but there are concerns.
Shadow business secretary Clive Lewis MP said: "If Deliveroo and Uber want to bring forward these new technological platforms, then they have to ask themselves is their business model sustainable if they have to exploit their workers to be able to make themselves viable."
In a statement, Deliveroo told the BBC that it was "committed to providing great opportunities for UK riders, with the flexible work riders value, and a payment model which is fair, rewarding and better matches riders' time with customers' orders."
Meanwhile, Uber has said it will appeal against the London tribunal ruling that it had acted unlawfully.
The Department for Business said it had launched a review of working practices.
The inquiry by Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the RSA (Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) will look at job security, pay and workers' rights.
A spokesman said: "The government is committed to building an economy that works for all. We want to ensure our employment rules are up to date to reflect new ways of working."


Former prime minister Tony Blair has said leaving the EU would create "an enormous economic problem" following any Brexit vote on 23 June.

And an online survey of economists for The Observer showed 88% of those who responded believed that EU withdrawal would be damaging for the UK economy.
There was a 17% response rate to the survey, from 639 economists.
The Vote Leave campaign said economists had been wrong in the past about whether the UK should join the euro.
"There was a cosy consensus among economists supporting Britain scrapping the pound 15 years ago... they were wrong then and they are wrong now," Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Vote Leave,  said in a statement.
Speaking on the BBC One Marr Show, former Labour leader Mr Blair, a Remain supporter, said "if we vote to leave we will suffer an immediate shock to our economy" and "years of uncertainty".
He said this was not a hypothetical risk but "something you will see directly in people's jobs and living standards" and in the confidence of business to trade.
"What is now clear... is that if we did vote to leave, the economic aftershock would be severe," he added.
Meanwhile, according to those economists who replied to the Ipsos-Mori poll for The Observer, leaving the EU single market would harm the UK's growth prospects over the next five years.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
Those who took part and responded are members of the Royal Economic Society and the Society of Business Economists.
Major reasons given by the economists as to why the UK would suffer were "loss of access to the single market" and "increased uncertainty leading to reduced investment".
Britain Stronger in Europe campaign director Will Straw said: "This is the final nail in the coffin of the Leave campaign's economic credibility.
"It is becoming clear that leaving is a risk we simply cannot afford to take."
Labour's shadow home secretary Andy Burnham also told Sky News that the UK would be damaged by leaving the EU.
However, Leave campaigners argue the UK would be freed from the cost of regulation and red tape imposed by Brussels if it left the EU.
They also say it would able to negotiate its own trade deals.
In The Sun newspaper on Saturday pro-Brexit government minister Priti Patel criticised Treasury forecasting of what would happen after a withdrawal from the EU, calling it "doom-laden propaganda".


A patient lay dead for up to four-and-a-half hours before being spotted at one of the busiest's A&E departments in the country, inspectors have revealed.

On one occasion there was only one commode available for more than 100 patients at North Middlesex University Hospital, a report by the watchdog said.
Emergency services at the London hospital have been rated "inadequate".
The hospital said it was "extremely sorry" for the problems in the unit.
Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission said there were too few competent doctors who were able to assess and treat patients at night when they inspected the department in April and May.
The unit - which sees 500 hundred patients a day - logged 22 serious incidents in the past year, including the dead patient not being found for hours.
Others included a patient being left sitting on a bedpan for more than an hour.
And nurse to patient ratios were rarely achieved because they frequently had 20 patients being treated in the corridor.
The report also said staff were afraid to speak up for fear of retribution.
The inspection of the emergency department and two of the hospital's medical wards was in response to concerns about the standards of care.
The hospital has apologised to patients and says the A&E department now has five additional doctors and consultants on loan from other London trusts, a new nursing lead and new clinical director.
Chief Inspector of Hospitals Sir Mike Richards said the hospital has already "turned a corner" since the inspection.
He said: "A new leadership team is in place in the emergency department, there are moves to appoint more senior doctors - and I note that the trust is calling on consultants from other departments within the hospital to provide the routine daily support to A and E which is so badly needed.
"There is still much more that needs to be done. We will be watching their progress very closely."
David Burrowes, MP for Enfield Southgate, said he was left to wait for 12 hours on a trolley with a ruptured appendix in the emergency department in 2014.
He said "urgent action" was needed.
"The important question is why the warning signals from at least two years ago were not heeded," he added
Tottenham MP David Lammy said the "damning" report is "even worse than I feared" and demanded answers from Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
He said: "It shocks and appals me that this situation has been left for so long without an intervention from the Health Secretary, and the way that this has been covered up is nothing short of a scandal."
During the same inspection, medical care services were rated as requiring improvement.
The trust is now required to improve the care of patients in the emergency department by 26 August 2016 following a warning from the CQC.
A full inspection of the trust will take place in September.


Steven MacLean netted a hat-trick as St Johnstone made it back-to-back home wins with a comfortable demolition of Hamilton at McDiarmid Park.

MacLean set up Liam Craig to slam in the opener and added a penalty after a Darian Mackinnon hand ball.
The striker then met a Graham Cummins cross to slot home from eight yards.
MacLean stabbed home from a Michael O'Halloran knock-down in the second half before Lucas Tagliapietra headed in a consolation goal for Accies.
Hamilton had started more impressively on the back of their 3-2 win against Hearts last time out, knocking the ball around effectively going forward.
Unfortunately for player-manager Martin Canning, they looked vulnerable to the hosts' counter-attacking and that proved their undoing.
Cummins should have given Tommy Wright's side the lead as early as the seventh minute when he broke clear of a square back line.
But Michael McGovern was in the sort of form that got him the nod ahead of Alan Mannus in the Northern Ireland side as he raced out to block the forward's shot.
There was nothing he could do to prevent Saints surging into a two-goal lead in the space of just a couple of minutes midway through the opening period though.
So often troubled by injury, Murray Davidson limped off on 19 minutes and his replacement Liam Craig made an instant impact.
The midfielder got on the end of a MacLean cross to guide in his first goal since returning to McDiarmid Park after two seasons with Hibs.
Hamilton had no time to regain their composure before they found themselves two down when MacKinnon handled a Darnell Fisher free kick in his own penalty area.
MacLean sent McGovern the wrong way with the resulting kick after MacKinnon had picked up his fifth booking in five league games to add to the 14 from last season.
It looked a case of how many Saints would score after that and MacLean collected his second of the afternoon by forcing in a Michael O'Halloran cross from the right.
He completed an impressive hat-trick on 54 minutes as Hamilton were once again shredded at the back with Craig causing chaos with a cross from the left.
O'Halloran nodded it down into the path of MacLean who prodded it behind McGovern to make sure he would be heading home with the match ball while the visitor's were going home with nothing.
That made it six for the season for the big striker who only managed three in an injury hit campaign last time and it will be a major boost to Saints' chances if he stays fit.
At least Hamilton could not be faulted for effort and that was rewarded when the St Johnstone defence failed to deal with a corner.
Central defender Tagliapietra forced the ball home and Accies made another couple of half chances but they will have to sharpen up at the back if they are to get back on track at Pittodrie on Tuesday.

A man brandishing an axe and pepper spray has been killed by police after attacking people in a cinema in suburban Nashville, Tennessee.

With a rucksack on his chest and wearing a surgical mask, the man was shot dead by officers while trying to escape after carrying out the attack.
One person suffered a "superficial" hatchet wound and three people were treated for exposure to pepper spray.
The man was later named as a 29-year-old local, Vincente David Montano.
Police spokesman Don Aaron said Montano had "significant" psychological issues and had been committed to psychiatric care four times.
He had also been arrested in 2004 for assault and resisting arrest.
Police had at first believed the attacker was 51. They also mistakenly said he had a firearm but later clarified it was a pellet gun.
Officers were called at 13:13 local time (17:13 GMT) on Wednesday to the Carmike Hickory 8 cinema in Antioch, where a screening of Mad Max: Fury Road 2D was just starting.
Witnesses were running out as the police arrived, and one officer entered the auditorium through the projection room, only to be shot at by the gunman.
The assailant tried to escape out of a rear door but was shot dead.
His rucksack, still strapped to him when he died, was detonated by authorities and "nothing of danger" was found, police said.
Nearby businesses were placed on temporary lockdown.
The latest attack comes about two weeks after a shooting at a cinema in Lafayette, Louisiana.
And jurors in Colorado are currently deciding whether the man who killed 12 and injured 70 during a Batman film in 2012 should receive the death penalty.


A woman whose pet dog died after she left the abandoned animal trapped in a flat without food or water has been given a suspended jail sentence.

The black Labrador was found dead by animal welfare officers who called to a flat in the Greystone estate in Antrim.
The starved dog died entangled in a window blind, probably in a failed attempt to escape, the court heard.
Its owner, Aleshia McLaverty, pleaded guilty to permitting unnecessary pain or distress to a dog under her control.
The 23-year-old, who no longer lives at or has any connection to the flat at Firmount Drive, was given a two month jail term, suspended for two years.
The judge at Antrim Magistrates' Court also banned her from keeping animals for five years.
The case against her was taken by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, after its staff responded to a report of a dead animal at the property last April.
A prosecution lawyer described how the animal welfare officers were met with distressing sights and smells when they entered the flat.
He said the toilet bowl was dry, suggesting the dog had drank from it and there were scratch marks on packets of food consistent with the dog trying to find something to eat.
A post-mortem examination revealed the Labrador had died of dehydration and starvation, and that it was likely it had tried to jump through a window to escape but then became entangled on a blind.
During a previous hearing in the case, a judge said pictures taken at the scene were "the worst photos I have ever seen of cruelty to an animal".
A defence barrister said it was a "tragic case of passive neglect" and said the dog was trapped in the house when his client became pregnant and went to live with her mother.
He said the defendant was "very emotional and distressed" and came to the court with a "good character" and a clear record.
The judge said he had to give McLaverty credit for her guilty plea and her clear record and he suspended the jail term.
McLaverty, who also admitted being the keeper of a dog without a valid licence, was ordered to pay costs of Â£119.


The United States Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker has arrived in Cuba for two days of talks focusing on the US embargo on the communist-run island.

Ms Pritzker will discuss recent measures approved by the US to mitigate the impact of the embargo.
Since the US and Cuba announced last year they were restoring relations, President Barack Obama has pushed for the restrictions to be scrapped.
But he faces opposition from the Republican majority in the US Congress.
Ms Pritzker is the most senior American official to visit Cuba since Secretary of State John Kerry reopened the embassy in Havana in July.
Shortly after landing in Havana, she visited the Special Enterprise Zone, an area developed near the Mariel port to encourage foreign investment.
On Wednesday, she is due to meet the Cuban trade and foreign ministers for discussions on the embargo.
The US announced in recent weeks a number of measures to encourage trade even with the embargo still in place.
American companies will no longer be breaking US law for setting up premises in Cuba, the US authorities announced.
But the Cuban government needs to lift some of its own bureaucratic and legal obstacles for the measures to work, says the BBC's Will Grant in Havana.
There may be some reluctance from the Cuban authorities to allow a faster pace of change while there are other issues pending, such as new civil aviation rules, ferry services between Florida and Cuba and greater internet access.
President Barack Obama met Cuban leader Raul Castro on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last week.
Mr Castro told the UN that normal relations would only be possible if the US abolished its trade embargo.
The first American economic sanctions against Cuba were imposed in 1960.


Aldershot made their way into the top five of the National League with an excellent win at Dover.

Shamir Fenelon broke the deadlock for the Shots midway through the first half with a crisp finish past Steve Arnold.
Liam Bellamy made it 2-0 four minutes before the break, cushioning a neat header back across the sprawling keeper.
Ross Lafayette still had time in first-half stoppage-time to pull one back with a sweetly struck 25-yard free-kick.
In a high-tempo second period, Aldershot had to work hard to hold on, but Matt McClure was unlucky not to extend the winning margin when he headed an effort against the underside of the bar.

Groups of children are arriving in the UK from a migrant camp in France, where some of them will be reunited with members of their family.

The children have come from a French town called Calais, where there is a very big camp where as many as 10,000 migrants and refugees currently live in temporary homes.
Many have arrived at the camp from all over the world in order to try to reach the UK, where they want to live.
This is often because their home countries are no longer safe to live in because of war and poverty, or they want to find a better life.
There is a problem at the moment because the camp - which is known as the Calais Jungle - is due to be closed down next week but thousands of people are still living there.
One of the biggest worries is that there are many children who are living there on their own. They are called 'unaccompanied minors'.
The UK Government say about 100 children will be brought over to the UK before the Jungle camp is dismantled.
Millions of people all over the world have left their own countries to find a better life or a safer place to live.
Some children are able to travel with their families. 11-year-old Manar told Newsround how she was moved to the UK with her family from a refugee camp in Lebanon.
However, there are many children who travel on their own.
Some had to leave their parents behind in the countries where they're from, or others may have got separated from them on the long journey.
One girl called Ruth told Newsround her story of how she travelled without her parents from Eritrea in Africa to the UK, because she didn't want to join the army or marry someone she didn't know, which she would have been forced to do.
Another 11-year-old boy called Safid told Newsround how he travelled to the UK from Afghanistan - a journey which took him a whole year.
He started the journey with his father, but they became separated so he and his brother were living on their own in the Calais camp.
Child refugees who have family members in the UK are allowed to come to this country to live with them. The process can take a long time as there is a lot of paperwork.
Under the law, claims to stay in a European country must be made in the first safe place a person reaches, but children can have their claim transferred to another country if they have family members living there.
However, there are children in camps who do not have family in the UK, and European leaders are trying to work out what to do with them. Some of them have already come to the UK.
As one young boy called Omar told Newsround: "There is no way out of the Calais jungle unless somebody helps you."
When the unaccompanied children come over to the UK from Calais today, they will need to be registered at a special office in London.
This is so that the authorities know that they are here and who they are living with.
Once they've done this, they can be reunited with their family members who will be waiting for them in nearby churches.
Politicians have said they are also trying to find homes for children who don't have relatives in the UK and it has been reported that councils are working to create space for refugees.
But some people say not enough is being done to make sure that all of the children who have been living in the Calais refugee camp will be safe.
Other European countries are also working to help give refugees and asylum seekers a home. Eight-year-old Karim told Newsround that Germany had been extremely welcoming when he moved there.
In the past year millions of people from countries like Syria have made long and dangerous journeys to get to Europe or have fled to refugee camps in other Middle Eastern countries.
However, European leaders have still not decided how many people should be allowed to come to Europe.
Children need to go to school and the adults will need to find jobs, so many countries are worried that they cannot cope with so many extra people.
Some don't think any migrants or refugees should be allowed to come at all.
Earlier this year Newsround spoke to some UK schoolchildren about the issue:

Two security guards have been jailed for the kidnap of a music festival-goer who was run over and killed after they dumped him by the roadside in Essex.

Paul Wickerson, 32, was hit by several vehicles after being taken from the Brownstock Festival in August 2013.
Gregory Maxwell, 32, of Romford, was given a three-year sentence and Brian Atkins, 49, of Ilford, three years and nine months at Chelmsford Crown Court.
The judge said there had been a "woeful failure" to protect Mr Wickerson.
The geologist, from Sydney, Australia, had been at the festival near South Woodham Ferrers when he was handcuffed, bundled into a Land Rover by Maxwell and Atkins, and driven to a remote spot, the court heard.
The victim, who had taken cocaine, ketamine and LSD, was then released to see if he could make it back to the festival.
He died after being hit by several vehicles within minutes of being dumped.
During the trial one of the defendants was overheard describing Mr Wickerson's ordeal as a "four-mile bush tucker trial" - referring to challenges in the reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here".
Judge Karen Walden-Smith told Maxwell and Atkins: "I don't sentence you for Paul Wickerson's death, but your breach of trust and woeful failure to protect those you had the responsibility to protect.
"This is a truly tragic case. Your actions during an approximate half-hour period had the result that one much-loved and talented young man unnecessarily lost his life."
Atkins was given a longer sentence as the judge decided he had "greater culpability".
"I'm satisfied you shackled him by the ankles, drove him to the place he was left and physically left him there," she said.
Atkins was given an additional six-month sentence on an unrelated charge of possessing a prohibited weapon, which he had admitted previously.
A spokesman for Brownstock Festival said: "We are pleased that the case has reached a conclusion and that the offenders have been held to account.
"It has been frustrating for us to not be able to comment on the case until now and our deepest sympathies remain with the family of the victim."


Ben Ainslie's Great Britain team won one and lost one of their opening two races as the America's Cup Qualifiers got under way on Saturday.

After Friday's opening day in Bermuda was postponed due to strong winds, Ainslie's Land Rover BAR beat Sweden's Artemis Racing in their opening race.
But they were then defeated by SoftBank Team Japan after helmsman Ainslie was penalised for a start-line collision.
With damage to one hull, GB finished 48 seconds behind the Japanese.
BAR - whose crew includes tactician Giles Scott, who won Olympic gold in Rio last summer - still finished the day top of the table with defending champions Oracle Team USA, who await the top challenger in the 35th America's Cup starting on 17 June.
Oracle won both of their races on Saturday, leaving the two teams level on three points.
*Land Rover BAR started the qualifiers with two points and Oracle Team USA with one point after finishing first and second respectively in the 2015-16 America's Cup World Series.
"We had a bit of an up-and-down day," said Ainslie. "We had a fantastic first race, we took down Artemis who were the form team coming into this America's Cup.
"It was fantastic for the team, we silenced a lot of doubters out there.
"We've then got to back that up with a win in the second race - unfortunately we had a big collision with Softbank Team Japan. We suffered a big hole in the side of our boat.
"It was all we could do to get round the course and, frankly given the damage to the boat, it was pretty amazing that we did that.
"Now the shore team have got to work their magic to fix the damage and get us out for racing tomorrow."
Ainslie was penalised for not taking evasive action when Japan had right of way before the two crossed the starting line.
There were signs of damage to the outer skin of his boat's high-tech carbon fibre hull, which appeared to narrowly miss several of SoftBank's six-man crew as it lurched dramatically in the air as the two boats came together.
"There's a couple of bruises," SoftBank Team Japan's tactician Chris Draper said. "It got pretty ugly, pretty quick."
Oracle, the defending champions, beat France's Groupama team before taking on New Zealand in a rematch of the 2013 America's Cup - when the US outfit won eight straight races to seal one of the biggest comebacks in sport.
Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill caught New Zealand as they rounded the mark into the penultimate leg and went on to win by six seconds.
Ainslie steered his Portsmouth-based team to victory in the 2015-16 America's Cup World Series, a result which earned two points for the qualifying series.
Each team will race each other twice in the qualifiers, scoring one point per win, with the top four teams progressing to the challenger round.
Land Rover BAR start the qualifiers with two points and Oracle Team USA with one point after finishing first and second respectively in the 2015-16 America's Cup World Series.
The top four challengers are split into two best-of-five semi-finals from 4 June, with the winners competing in the final for the right to take on holders Oracle Team USA - who are also taking part in the qualifiers - in the actual America's Cup matches.
The first to seven points wins the America's Cup, or the Auld Mug as the trophy is known, with a possible 13 races to be sailed on 17-18 and 24-27 June.
The America's Cup, the oldest competition in international sport, was first raced in 1851 around the Isle of Wight and has only been won by four nations.
Six races take place on Sunday, with the British team involved in two - against the US and New Zealand. Racing runs from 18:00-21:00 BST.
Race 7 - Sweden v France, Race 8 - United States v Great Britain, Race 9 - Japan v New Zealand, Race 10 - USA v Sweden, Race 11 - New Zealand v Great Britain, Race 12 - Japan v United States

The mother-in-law of ex England rugby union player and Strictly Come Dancing star Ben Cohen bombarded him with e-mails and calls, a court has heard.

Felicity Bassouls, 67, of the Scottish Highlands, is said to have harassed the ex-Northampton Saints player after he separated from her daughter, last year.
She appeared at Northampton Magistrates' Court on two counts of harassment without violence.
The case was adjourned for trial at Corby Magistrates' Court on 12 August.
The harassment is alleged to have taken place in Northampton and elsewhere between 1 September and 29 October last year, against Cohen and Ms Bassouls' own son, Austen Blaney.
Cohen, 36, had denied rumours that his marriage ended after his appearances on the BBC One celebrity show.
He starred in the 2013 series with dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff but denied they had a relationship.
In a statement issued at the time of their break-up, the couple said: "Ben and Abby Cohen have agreed to take time apart to deal with some marital issues but remain fully committed to the welfare of their children.
"There is no third party involved and Ben and Abby now ask that their privacy and that of their family be respected at this difficult time."


Pop star Adele enjoyed a rapturous reception as she opened her world tour with an intimate arena show in Belfast.

The star played 18 songs over two hours, in what was her first UK concert in four-and-a-half years.
Dedicated fans had travelled from Japan and South Africa to see her perform, but Adele also had a message for anyone attending under duress.
"I know some of you have been dragged along," she joked, "but I'm going to win you over."
"Although some of my songs get a bit depressing."
By the end of the night, however, even the steeliest of hearts would have been forced to concede she had brought the goods.
Adele: The full story
Even if they weren't moved by the songs - Set Fire To The Rain, Make You Feel My Love, Rolling In The Deep - there was always Adele's disarming and bawdy humour.
She first addressed the audience 15 minutes into the show, explaining: "They told me not to talk for three songs so my nerves could calm a little."
After that the floodgates opened. She discussed perspiration ("I need to wipe the puddle off me face"); Bob Dylan ("I couldn't understand what he was saying"); and being a working mum ("you should have seen me in the dressing room - I had to do an emergency shave on my legs").
The 27-year-old, who openly admits to suffering stage fright, also talked about her toilet habits for the day.
But for many fans, this no-frills honesty is what makes Adele so endearing - and sets her apart from contemporaries like Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Rihanna.
"She's just so down to earth. She's not a superstar, she's normal," said Rosemary Shield, who attended the show from Belfast.
"She talked about her wee boy and she talked about going to the zoo. Just normal things that we all do."
"I love how she acts on and off stage," agreed Melissa Gordan, who had travelled from Johannesburg for the opening night.
"She's just human. I think she's a phenomenal person."
Hiroki Takahashi, who had flown 18 hours from Saitama, near Tokyo, to attend the concert, added: "She has a powerful energy and an amazing voice.
"My dream has come true."
The concert began simply enough, with a moody black and white projection of Adele's eyes on two gigantic silk screens, as the refrain from Hello echoed around the arena.
Then, to the audience's surprise, the star rose out of a satellite stage in the middle of the auditorium (she had been smuggled underneath it, inside a black box, 10 minutes earlier).
It was one of a small handful of production flourishes in what turned out to be a simple, stripped-back stage show.
For the most part, Adele stood, or sat, at the front of Belfast's SSE Arena, belting out the hits with a large grin plastered across her face.
There were no pyrotechnics, no video interludes and no costume changes. She wore a black sequinned custom Burberry dress all night, exuding an old school glamour.
"It's not a Beyonce show," she noted, drily at one point.
Despite a few jitters at the Grammy Awards two weeks ago, her voice was flawless throughout.
It's no secret that Adele possesses a powerful set of lungs (a high note on When We Were Young made some people around me gasp) but she refrains from the showboating that ruins many divas' performances, instead aiming directly for the emotional core of her songs.
The show also highlighted the subtlety of her phrasing, particularly when she dipped into her low register on Million Years Ago - although that may have been helped by the fact she "woke up sounding like Arnold Schwarzenegger" after leaving the air conditioning on in her hotel room.
Further highlights included her Oscar-winning Bond theme, Skyfall, during which searchlights dramatically swept over the arena; and a warm-hearted audience singalong to Someone Like You.
Musically, the songs stayed true to the recordings - except for a playful acoustic take on Send My Love (To Your New Lover) - aided by a 21-piece backing band that included an eight-strong string section.
In the tour programme, Adele said the production was guided by two big questions: "How do I make an arena show feel intimate?" and "how do I put my stamp on a big industrial room?"
The answer turned out to be deceptively simple: Play the hits and have a chinwag.
No doubt the show will develop over the coming months - there are more than 100 dates pencilled into Adele's diary before November - but the pacing, flow and sound design have already been meticulously and thoughtfully honed.
"This was the best way to kick off our world tour," Adele declared as she left the stage.
"I could get used to this."


The inaugural 'Boyne Day' at the Museum of Orange Heritage in Belfast is being held on Saturday.

Museum curator Dr Jonathan Mattison said it was an initiative to "educate and inform" more people about the legacy of the Orange Order.
Visitors are being treated to a dramatisation of a period camp, weapon displays, and a fife and drum workshop.
One of the museum's prized possessions is a 17th century musket which was once carried by a Jacobite Dragoon.
It is believed the musket was used in the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
Dr Mattison said the day was to set the historical context of the Glorious Revolution of 1688-1689, and highlight Northern Ireland's shared history with the Republic of Ireland.
"The occasion will highlight the growing cultural and tourism product associated with the Williamite trail in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland," he said.
King William's saddlecloth will also be on display at the event.
The Museum of Orange Heritage on the Cregagh Road in Belfast was officially opened in 2015.
It allows visitors to learn more about the roots and history of Orangeism in Ireland and around the world.


A supposed gas smell at a Newport shopping centre which caused several people to feel ill was in fact resin used by workmen, the ambulance service has said.

Three people were sent to the city's Royal Gwent Hospital and seven were treated at Friars Walk on Wednesday.
People said they felt unwell after reportedly smelling gas.
The Welsh Ambulance Service said it was actually caused by a "completely harmless" strong glue.
An ambulance was called at 15:35 GMT after a number of people reported feeling unwell at a restaurant in the centre.
Matthew Cann, the service's control manager, said: "Following an update, it was apparently an epoxy resin which was being used by workmen on site.
"It's not a gas leak, it is a resin, a strong glue, and completely harmless apart from dizziness and headaches in some people.
"The seven patients we are holding at the scene are going to be discharged and I would imagine the three patients sent to the Royal Gwent Hospital will be discharged when we update the hospital."
A Wales and West Utilities spokesman said: "Working closely with the fire and rescue service, our engineer found that the smell was not caused by mains gas and left the situation in the hands of the fire and rescue service.
"However, our engineer will remain on site while the fire and rescue service continues its investigations."

Since its first appearance in 2002, the gossip column has consistently ranked as one of the most-read pages on the BBC website.

In the most recent transfer window, it averaged almost one million browsers per day. But can you believe a word you read in it?
To mark the 15th anniversary of its introduction, we have looked back at every gossip column from the summer transfer window to see how accurate the rumours were, whether stories about some clubs proved more reliable than others and to discover which sources were the most trustworthy.
Of the almost 800 rumours reported in the gossip column throughout July and August, just over one in three of them materialised as a transfer.
How do you judge whether a rumour is accurate or not?
Plenty of stories will have been rooted in fact at the time of reporting, only to fall through for any number of unforeseeable reasons.
But taking an accurate rumour as being one where that transfer actually went through, stories about Manchester City were more accurate than ones about any other side (counting only teams who were mentioned at least 10 times).
And while one in three rumours are accurate overall, the success rate varies wildly by club.
When you include every Premier League team regardless of the number of times they featured, Bournemouth come out on top.
Of course, the sources we use tend to focus mainly on the bigger clubs, meaning they are mentioned more regularly. And it is worth pointing out the gossip column is manually curated each day by a BBC journalist, so choices are made about which stories to include and which ones to leave out.
One reason why Bournemouth and Burnley come out on top is that they are rarely mentioned, so the quality of the rumours when they do appear tend to be high.
There were only three entries about the Cherries, linking them with Brad Smith, Jordon Ibe and Lewis Cook. All of those deals came off.
Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea, three of the bottom four when it comes to the number of accurate rumours written about them, are three of the five most-featured clubs.
And while it is no surprise the biggest teams generate the most stories, there is also another factor that drives the rumour mill - the presence of a new manager.
The top four most-mentioned clubs all had new bosses last summer.
There's good news if you're a midfielder...
...who is aged 23...
...and English.
Or, in other words, if your name is Ross Barkley.
Despite extensive global scouting networks, Premier League to Premier League transfers are reported significantly more than deals between clubs in the Premier League and those in any other league.
Outside of Britain and mainland Europe, Brazilian players were the most sought after according to the gossip column, while Senegal just edged out Ivory Coast as the leading African nation.
In the two months of the summer window, 41 different media outlets featured in the 62 gossip columns.
And based on whether a deal that was reported actually went through, the most reliable transfer source was the Guardian.
But while the Guardian comes out on top, newspapers - the traditional bedrock of the gossip column - were not the most reliable source.
Non-newspaper websites - the likes of Sky Sports, Goal and ESPN, among others - actually proved to be the best place to go for accurate transfer stories.
Non-newspaper websites would not have featured in the early days of the gossip column - back then it consisted entirely of newspaper stories. However, they are now among the most popular - and trusted - news outlets around.
When looking only at newspapers, it is the broadsheets that dominate.
So what can we expect to see in the January transfer window?
Thankfully, there is unlikely to be much speculation about Paul Pogba, whose 27 gossip column appearances made him the most talked about player of last summer before his protracted world record £89m transfer to Manchester United was finally completed.
Everton striker Romelu Lukaku was rumoured as being on his way to Chelsea 14 times - the most frequently mentioned deal of the last window that did not happen. If there is no smoke without fire, could it be the one to watch this January?
And what about other players who could be on the move? Here's our XI of the most talked about players of the last window who, ultimately, stayed where they were.
You can keep up to date with all the latest rumours by reading the gossip column every day.


An 88-year-old woman suffered a "brutal and sustained assault" by a man as she slept in her bed, police have said.

She was woken up at about 00:30 BST on Saturday at her home in Chorley, Lancashire, to find the man assaulting her and demanding money.
The attacker pulled her from the bed and continued the assault before ransacking her house.
A 35-year-old man from Chorley has been arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary.
The victim is being treated at Wigan Hospital for non life-threatening injuries, police said.
After her attacker ran off, she managed to crawl to a neighbour's house in Aspen Gardens and police were called.
Det Insp Warren Atkinson, of Lancashire Police, said: "This was a brutal and sustained assault on an elderly lady in her own home.
"The level of gratuitous violence used on this vulnerable woman simply beggars belief and it is a miracle she was not more seriously injured."
Police arrested the man following an "incredible response" from the public to an appeal for information.
"As a result of their help and through police inquiries we now have a man in custody and he will be questioned in due course," Det Insp Atkinson added.


Prosecutors in El Salvador have opened an inquiry following the suspicious deaths this week of a puma and a young monkey at the National Zoo.

Prosecutors suspect the animals became ill through neglect.
The investigation will also look into the death of a zebra at the same location earlier this month.
Those deaths follow that of a hippo called Gustavito at the National Zoo in February, which caused outrage in El Salvador and beyond.
Staff initially said that the hippo had been stabbed and beaten by unknown assailants.
Following the death, zoo director Vladlen Hernandez said he did not believe employees were involved in any attack and added that the zoo had received no threats from any of the street gangs that terrorise the Central American nation.
Police later questioned employees of the zoo to try to establish who could have entered the premises to carry out such an attack.
But investigators later concluded that the animal had died as a result of poor care.
A detailed examination showed that the hippo had apparently died of a pulmonary haemorrhage, or bleeding from the lung, state prosecutor Mario Salazar said.
The animal had been ill for 17 days before dying.
The latest deaths at the zoo happened on Thursday night.
The authorities say puma Soberana (Sovereign) was old and ill, and being treated for a gut problem.
Reports say the baby monkey died in an accident.
But prosecutors decided to look into the circumstances of the deaths.
On Friday, El Salvador's Culture Ministry also announced it will revamp the National Zoo.
"The traditional zoo concept is already obsolete," said the ministry in a statement.
El Salvador's National Zoo will be transformed into a wildlife park, it added.


Clive Palmer, one of Australia's richest men, has commissioned a Chinese state-owned company to build a 21st Century version of the Titanic.

The mining billionaire told Australian media that construction would start at the end of next year.
It would be ready to set sail in 2016.
The plan, he added, was for the vessel to be as similar as possible to the original Titanic in design and specifications, but with modern technology.
Mr Palmer told Australian media that he had signed a memorandum of understanding with CSC Jinling Shipyard to construct the ship.
"It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic but of course it will have state-of-the-art 21st Century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems," he said in a statement.
The announcement comes just weeks after the centenary of the sinking of the ill-fated Titanic.
The vessel, the largest luxury ship in its time, struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. It went down on 15 April 1912, leaving more than 1,500 people dead.
"Of course it will sink if you put a hole in it,'' Mr Palmer said in response to questions from reporters on whether the Titanic replica would sink.
The new vessel is scheduled to sail from London to New York in late 2016, if all goes as planned.
"It is going to be designed so it won't sink,'' he added. ''But, of course, if you are superstitious like you are, you never know what could happen.''
The cost of the construction is not known, a spokesman for Mr Palmer told Australian media.
The mining magnate from Queensland, who has strong business relations with China, has expanded into tourism. He owns a luxury resort on the Sunshine Coast and has plans to build a fleet of luxury liners.
His plan to build the Titanic replica was announced on the same day that he revealed plans, in a separate news conference, to contest the next federal election in Queensland.
He told reporters that he has expressed interest in standing for Queensland's Liberal National Party (LNP), part of the conservative opposition at federal level, in the Brisbane seat of Lilley - currently held by Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer Wayne Swan.


A 29-year-old skier has been seriously injured after falling from a ski lift in the French Pyrenees, reports say.

He suffered multiple fractures to his legs and pelvis and was taken by helicopter to hospital in Toulouse.
The accident happened at the Ax 3 Domaines resort on Saturday as his leg became trapped at the start of a six-person "bubble" lift, officials said.
The skier then fell into netting before sliding underneath and falling four metres (12ft), French media report.
Police in Savignac-les-Ormeaux are quoted as saying the accident was triggered as the skier tried to retrieve his gloves as the cabin pulled away.
His leg then became trapped in the lift cabin and he fell from it shortly afterwards.
Police have begun an investigation.


Prime Minister David Cameron's father Ian has died after suffering a stroke and heart complications while on holiday in France.

Mr Cameron missed the weekly prime minister's questions to fly to be with his father in hospital.
Downing Street said his father died shortly after the PM arrived at the hospital in the South of France.
He told ITV in March his father was a "huge hero figure for me" who had a great sense of optimism.
It is understood the prime minister will remain in France overnight.
Mr Cameron was told on Wednesday morning his father was seriously ill after suffering a stroke and heart complications. After talking to doctors at the hospital, the PM decided to fly to be with his father and mother Mary.
Downing Street said French President Nicolas Sarkozy had arranged a helicopter to take Mr Cameron to the hospital so he could see his father.
Sources told the Press Association he was "incredibly grateful" as he may not otherwise have been able to get there in time and was "relieved" to have been at his bedside.
By Ross HawkinsPolitical correspondent, BBC News
To David Cameron his father was a hero, a man who never complained about his disability and a key inspiration behind the 'Big Society' theme that characterised the Conservative election campaign.
In a newspaper interview he reflected: "I've never really heard him whinge about anything."
After the election Ian Cameron said he always thought David had the capability to be prime minister, but added unlike his son, he was not a politician. He spent his professional life as a stockbroker, and sat on parish and church councils.
David Cameron said his father and mother - who worked as a magistrate -  "wore their public service so lightly".
David Cameron said he almost gave up politics after his six-year-old son Ivan died last year. Last week the Camerons brought their new-born daughter Florence home to Downing Street. Ian Cameron did not see his grand-daughter before he died.
Nick Robinson: Painful times
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who stood in for Mr Cameron at the first PMQs after the summer recess, sent his thoughts and condolences to Mr Cameron's family and said he was glad the PM was "able to be at his father's side at the end".
Chancellor George Osborne told the BBC: "It's a very difficult day for David Cameron and his family.
"I know David was very, very close to his father, and his father hasn't been well over recent years, but he's always been a really strong presence I know in David's life, and I'm sure he'll be missed by David and missed by all of us who knew him."
BBC political correspondent Laura Kuenssberg said Mr Cameron had often spoken of the close bond between him and his parents, who lived in Peasemore, Berkshire.
Ian Cameron, 77, was born with both legs deformed, and endured repeated operations in an attempt to straighten them and ease his pain.
Despite his disability he forged a successful career as a stockbroker and is a former director of estate agent John D Wood.
The prime minister said before the general election that his father was a "glass half-full" person with a "sense of optimism".
He told ITV 1's Trevor McDonald: "My father is a huge hero figure for me, because he's an amazingly brave man....
"To have a disability in the 1930s and 1940s, a different age, was really tough, but  he never let it affect him in any way. "
Giles Andreae, a friend of Mr Cameron's, told the BBC: "David adored his father and his mother. I think they both have a really seminal influence in the man he is now and in his politics actually."
Mr Cameron's wife Samantha gave birth to their fourth child, Florence, last month.
The couple's first child Ivan, who was born profoundly disabled and needed round the clock care, died in February 2009.
Mr Cameron's biographer James Hanning told the BBC family was "hugely important" to the prime minister: "They are a very strong family but they have been through it."
Labour leadership contender David Miliband said he was "very sorry" to hear the news: "My thoughts are with David and his family." A spokesman for Gordon Brown said the former prime minister had written to Mr Cameron to express his condolences.


There are 124 drivers in Northern Ireland that have 12 or more points on their licence and have not been disqualified.

Figures obtained by The Nolan Show reveal at least one driver accumulated 20 points without losing their licence.
By law, a driver who accumulates 12 or more penalty points within a three-year period must be disqualified.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVA) said a disqualification can "only be ordered by the court".
The PSNI also said that disqualifying motorists from driving is a matter for the courts.
While a court is required to disqualify drivers with 12 or more points the DVA said "if a court is satisfied that there are grounds for mitigating the normal consequences of a conviction, the court may decide not to order such disqualification".
Under Article 40 of the Road Traffic Offenders (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 a court does not have to reveal the reasons why some drivers with the maximum points on their licence are not disqualified.
Insp Rosie Leech said: "It worth noting that the majority of motorists who receive 12 penalty points or more are disqualified from driving. Any number of points on your licence can affect the amount you have to pay for vehicle insurance.
"No one should take a chance with their safety on the roads".
Nick Freeman, a specialist traffic defence lawyer, told the Nolan Show cases involving "exceptional hardship" meant the court has discretion.


In Nandigama, a small town in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, many families have been frequenting a government  hospital and a local office to seek death certificates.

Among them is 23-year-old Dhan Lakshmi, who lives in the town with her three children and an old mother-in-law.
She is seeking a certificate for her husband, Gopu Chandraiyah, who died last month.
Dhan Lakshmi says Mr Chandraiyah worked as a daily wage earner who went door-to-door repairing broken umbrellas.
As the massive heat wave gripped Nandigama and large parts of India in recent weeks and temperatures crossed 48C (118F), the authorities advised people to stay indoors.
But, Mr Chandraiyah had to set out for work in the scorching sun because the family was too poor for him to miss work even for a day.
"One afternoon, he returned home and fell unconscious from the heat. He was running very high fever and began vomiting," Dhan Lakshmi said.
"Some villagers helped me take him to the local hospital in Nandigama. The doctors treated him there. He was administered saline and medicines. But his condition deteriorated and he died in the hospital."
Dhan Lakshmi said she approached the local authorities for compensation, but was told that the family would not get any since an autopsy was not done after Mr Chandraiyah's death which could conclusively prove that he died from heat.
"They say an autopsy is mandatory now. But no-one told us then and we cremated the body. The government had announced that all those who have died due to a heat stroke will be given 100,000 rupees ($1,560; Â£1,010) as compensation. But I am running from one office to another. No-one is ready to help me," she said.
In Andhra Pradesh, authorities earlier said the heatwave had killed more than 3,000 people - that figure has now been revised down to 1,761.
Similarly, the toll in the neighbouring state of Telangana that recorded temperatures up to 48.5C (119F), is now 575 - earlier, it was estimated to be more than 1,000. The state pays 50,000 rupees as compensation for a heatwave death.
Andhra Pradesh Disaster Management and Relief department official Jagdish Chander Sharma told the BBC that the earlier figures were compiled on the basis of reports being sent from villages to the district headquarters.
"But these figures were without proper verification. We did not know whether they were natural deaths or due to the heat wave. Later, after the verification process, the numbers have come down."
M Suresh Babu, a doctor at the Nandigama Government Hospital, says for a heatwave death to be recognised, it has to be certified by a three-member committee that includes a local government official, a police official and the government doctor. Moreover, anyone over 70 years of age is not counted.
Authorities say many deaths are reported as heatwave deaths by families because they want to claim compensation.
But families of the dead say the official process to certify a heatwave related death has become so complicated that even genuine cases are often difficult to prove.
And the authorities are hiding behind rules to deny them compensation, they say.


Bakery delivery drivers in Denbighshire are helping to improve the area's mobile phone coverage by flagging up so-called "not spots".

Staff at Denbigh's Henllan Bakery have downloaded an app which assesses mobile signal quality to identify areas with poor coverage.
The app for Android phones by Ofcom then automatically reports the information back to the regulator.
So far, it has identified signal issues around Chirk and Oswestry.
The app works by automatically measuring voice-call reliability, signal strength and data speeds without the user having to do anything and without any personal data being collected.
Ed Moore, a director at the bakery, said: "We need to be able to reach our delivery staff wherever they are and a lack of reception can make this impossible.
"The situation seems particularly bad towards the Chirk and Oswestry area but there are 'not spots' scattered around everywhere. It isn't just in rural areas."
Denbighshire council has been working with mobile operators to improve signal quality in the county and said more data would help it make the case for improved infrastructure.
Council leader Hugh Evans said the council was aware of the frustration felt by people when they cannot get a good signal and said Ofcom had made a "positive move by exploiting technology which most of [us] carry around all the time".
The council is now asking staff to download the app, claiming that with 700 employee handsets, it was in a "strong position" to help gather the data needed.
Ofcom said publication of data collected by the app would encourage mobile network operators to improve their networks.


Just two out of 48 general dental practices in Cardiff are accepting new NHS patients.

Two others can see new patients - but only for a one-off course of treatment and for emergency appointments.
British Dental Association Wales said the problem lies with capped dental budgets for treatment.
Both Cardiff and Vale health board and the Welsh government said extra resources have been made available to improve patient access.
According to the health board's website, only one practice in Cyncoed and one dental surgery in Pentwyn have spaces for new NHS patients.
A surgery in Rhiwbina says it will see new patients for a one-off course of treatment, while another in Roath said it only had emergency appointments.
Richard Birkin, national director for BDA Wales, claimed NHS dentists' ability to take on new patients are limited by the "target-driven" contract they have with NHS commissioners.
"We believe a better way of delivering care to patients is to have a contract that is based on prevention, rather than targets, with an in-built flexibility to allow dentists to take on more new patients," he said.
"Work has been underway for several years to road-test this preventive approach. It's now time that Welsh government has prevention at the core of the dental contract."
David Oliver, the health board's dental and optometry primary care support manager, said it would be improving new patient access following Â£200,000 of additional funding from the Welsh government.
He added: "The majority of practices do however accept patients onto a waiting list and will select patients from this waiting list as places become available.
"This means that over 2,700 new patients were treated in the Cardiff and Vale UHB area in May 2015 alone with up to 4,400 new patients being treated in March 2015."
A Welsh government spokesman said the number of people accessing NHS dental services in the health board area had increased in recent years and "additional resources" had been made available to the health board.
"We are currently examining changes to the dental contract and have been piloting new arrangements, which build in greater equity for patients and contractors, while ensuring improvements are made around quality and prevention," the spokesman added.


Northampton extended their unbeaten league run to 27 matches after a hard-fought goalless draw at Oldham.

Rob Page's side started the better and almost went ahead after seven minutes as Matthew Taylor's free-kick - swung in from the left - was beaten away by goalkeeper Connor Ripley into the path of Alex Revell, who could only direct a first-time effort well over the crossbar.
Lee Erwin went closest for Latics in the first half. Left-back Charles Dunne made a raid into the 18-yard box and, as his shot was blocked into Lee Croft's path, he teed up Erwin, whose right-footed attempt from the edge of the area was cleared off the line by Aaron Phillips.
The second half was a drab affair with few scoring chances.
Kenji Gorre poked tamely wide from a promising break in the 88th minute as the hosts looked to break the deadlock, while Oldham substitute Calaum Jahraldo-Martin fired just over from the edge of the penalty area in added time as Stephen Robinson's hosts were left still searching for a first league goal of the campaign.

Former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are to be granted the Freedom of the City of Dublin.

Dublin City councillors voted to award the honour in recognition of Mr Obama's "moderating and progressive" influence on the world stage.
They also acknowledged Mrs Obama's work for the education of girls around the world and on behalf of refugees.
Lord Mayor Cllr Brendan Carr confirmed the couple had indicated through contacts their happiness to accept.
A meeting will be held with US Embassy officials within days and a visit could be organised by the end of the year, he added.
He also said the couple saw it as an opportunity for another visit. President Obama and his wife visited the Republic of Ireland in 2011 as part of a tour of Europe.
During their stay, the Obamas went to Moneygall, a small village in County Offaly which was home to one of President Obama's ancestors who emigrated to the US in 1850.
The motion to grant the honour was carried by 30 votes in favour with 23 against.
Cllr Carr, who proposed the motion, told councillors there was precedent for a couple receiving the honour as it was granted to the Crown Prince and Princess of Japan in 1985 for their diplomatic activities.
He said Mr Obama had regretted some US actions in the Middle East and the honour was not a "canonisation" of the couple.
Other international figures to receive the honour include former US President Bill Clinton, former South African President Nelson Mandela and Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

It involves tapping with fingers on acupuncture pressure points whilst giving a positive message.
Tony Stewart, a specialist in public health, became interested in tapping and persuaded doctors in Sandwell in the West Midlands to pilot the technique.
BBC Midlands Today health correspondent Michele Paduano reports.


Members of the public not going to the Scottish Open should try to find alternative routes and avoid the A198 through Gullane, organisers have said.

This year's Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open runs between 8 - 12 July.
Spectators are also being urged to make travel plans in advance and stick to organised routes as they make their way to Gullane Golf Club in East Lothian.
More than 50,000 people are expected to flock to the event. There will be no public parking at the course.
Free park and ride services will be available to get to the event.
There is a regular train service from Edinburgh to North Berwick and a free shuttle bus will run from North Berwick Railway Station.
Tournament director Peter Adams said: "Every effort has been made to minimise travel disruption, both for spectators and local residents.
"The event is amongst the most prestigious in world golf and increasingly popular, attracting some of the biggest names in the sport to Scotland."
John McMillan, East Lothian Council's spokesman for economic development and tourism, said: "The village and surrounding area are very much open for business and I'm sure if everyone follows the traffic advice, spectators will be able to get to the course easily and local businesses can benefit from the influx of visitors."


Campaigners have applied for a judicial review into the government's handling of the Southern rail crisis.

Govia Thameslink (GTR) took over the Southern rail franchise in 2015 and its contract with the Department for Transport (DfT) runs until 2021.
Southern has been locked in industrial disputes with its staff.
The Transport for All campaign group said the government should have done more to ease disruption. The DfT said it could not comment.
A DfT spokesman said it was unable to do so while legal proceedings were ongoing.
Non-profit group Transport for All, which campaigns for travellers with disabilities and older travellers, has joined the Association of British Commuters (ABC) in requesting a judicial review into the DfT's handling of the Southern disputes, particularly in respect of the impact on older travellers and travellers with disabilities.
ABC applied for the review in January and is awaiting a decision from the Royal Court of Justice about whether it may proceed.
A spokesman for the campaigners said: "Accessible public transport is a lifeline to inclusion for many disabled people who disproportionally rely on it to go about their everyday lives.
"The Southern rail crisis caused disruption and misery to disabled and older people, leaving many unable to travel to work and increasingly isolated. Yet throughout the strikes the DfT has remained silent."
Christopher Stapleton commutes from Balham in south London to Victoria in his wheelchair.
He said: "On roughly two-thirds of my journeys, when I arrive at Victoria there is no one there to assist me with a ramp, even though the staff at my home station have phoned ahead to let Southern Rail staff at Victoria know.
"So I end up stuck on the train.
"The effect of Southern's unreliable assistance is that every train journey becomes horribly stressful, and every time I arrive at my destination I have a tight knot of anxiety in my stomach - will there be someone with a ramp to assist me?"
A spokesman for Southern said: "We aim to give excellent assistance and are very sorry to hear about these passenger experiences.
"Over 440,000 journeys were made on Southern with disability railcards last year and only a tiny fraction resulted in a complaint that assistance was not provided.
"We regularly carry out call-back surveys with disabled passengers and 'mystery shop' so that we can look at what we can change to improve."


Botox-maker Allergan has confirmed it has held preliminary talks about a takeover by drugs giant Pfizer.

Dublin-based Allergan said no agreement had been reached and there was "no certainty that these discussions will lead to a transaction".
Allergan shares were up more than 6% in afternoon trading in New York.
Analysts said Pfizer needed to boost profits and may be looking to escape relatively high US corporate tax rates by moving its headquarters to Dublin.
"Allergan today confirmed that it has been approached by Pfizer Inc. and is in preliminary friendly discussions regarding a potential business combination transaction," the company said in a statement.
"The company will not comment on speculation regarding the terms of a potential transaction."
The talks were first reported in the media late on Wednesday.
"Pfizer desperately needs a large acquisition and the resulting synergies to reinvigorate its tepid earnings growth rate," said Maxim Jacobs at Edison Investment Research.
"Also, Allergan would help Pfizer escape the uncompetitive US corporate tax rate, which has led company after company to domicile away from its shores."
Last year, Pfizer made an offer to buy UK drugs group AstraZeneca, but Astra rejected the offer, arguing it undervalued the company.


There has been a backlash on social media against a judge in Mexico who has ordered that a suspect in a sexual assault case should not be jailed.

Judge Anuar González said that the suspect, Diego Cruz, had penetrated a 17-year-old girl with his fingers but had done so "without carnal intent".
The district judge said there was not enough evidence to jail Mr Cruz on charges of sexual assault.
The girl's father said the judge's arguments were "abominable".
He said that "if this is approved, then any adult can touch a minor and by simply arguing that it wasn't done lasciviously, that he didn't have any intention to copulate, he's going to get off," the father argued.
The prosecutor's office in the state of Veracruz said it would appeal against Judge González's decision.
Mr Cruz is currently still in detention. He was arrested in June 2016 in the Spanish capital, Madrid, to where he had fled after being accused of sexually abusing the 17-year old.
Mr Cruz was one of four young men suspected of forcing the 17-year-old girl into a car after a New Year's Eve party on 1 January 2015 in the port city of Veracruz.
Three of the four - Mr Cruz, Enrique Capitaine and Jorge Cotaita - have been charged with sexually abusing a minor.
Mr Capitaine is in prison awaiting trial and Mr Cotaita is on the run.
Judge González's ruling in Mr Cruz's case was made public on Monday.
He said that while Mr Cruz had touched the girl's breasts and "introduced his fingers in her vagina" he did not have a "lascivious" intent nor the intention to "copulate".
Judge González ruled that Mr Cruz was therefore not guilty of sexual abuse but of "incidental touching and rubbing" and should not be jailed.
Mexicans have expressed their outrage on social media after news of the ruling spread.
The case, which has been dubbed "Porkys" in reference to a 1981 film featuring a group of high-school students out to lose their virginity, had already received much media coverage after the girl and her father denounced the fact that for months no arrests had been made.
All three of the young men charged in connection with the case come from wealthy and influential families in Veracruz, a fact which many blame for the slow progress of the cases against them.
But Judge González's ruling has caused indignation well beyond the state of Veracruz.
Many expressed their outrage under the hashtag #JuezPorky (#JudgePorky), asking if he would have come to the same conclusion if the alleged victim had been a member of his family.
Others asked how much he had been paid to reach his verdict.
Twitter user Jorge Arturo demanded that he be replaced and imprisoned "as an accomplice" in what he called "the most evident case of corruption in Mexico".
Juan Carlos Altamirano said he shared the indignation about the judge's decision but was opposed to the publication of pictures and threats made against the judge's family.
Eréndira Derbez said the judge had sent a clear message: "that the desire of a man is more important than the integrity of a woman, her body is not hers".
The father of the 17-year-old at the centre of the case said he remained confident that Mr Cruz would not be released.


A computer technician at Mossack Fonseca has been arrested on suspicion of removing large amounts of data from the company, the BBC understands.

The employee was arrested at the law firm's Geneva offices after the company provided information to prosecutors.
The employee is accused by the firm of theft of data, unauthorised access and breach of trust.
Thousands of documents were leaked from Mossack Fonseca in April, revealing systematic offshore tax evasion.
Mossack Fonseca says it has not broken any laws or destroyed any documents, and says all its operations were legal.
It is not known at this stage whether the alleged data theft cited by prosecutors this week is linked to the leak in April, dubbed the "Panama Papers".
The Panama Papers were investigated for months by hundreds of investigative journalists, including staff from the BBC.
The Geneva prosecutor's office began a criminal inquiry in April into the Panama revelations.
The anonymous source behind the Panama Papers spoke out in May, offering to help law authorities make prosecutions in return for immunity.
In a 1,800-word statement, "John Doe" said he had never worked for a spy agency or a government and cited "income equality" as a motive for the leak.
It is not known whether the source had any contact with law enforcement officials after his statement.
Eleven million documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca were passed to German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which then shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. BBC Panorama and UK newspaper The Guardian were among 107 media organisations in 76 countries which analysed the documents. The BBC does not know the identity of the source


A County Down company is making a major TV series with a difference - its central character and cast are all on the autistic spectrum.

'Pablo' is an animated 52-part series about a five-year-old boy who creates an entire world from his imagination.
Paper Owl Films in Holywood are in the process of making it for the BBC's CBeebies channel and RTÃ‰.
All of the local cast are autistic and many have been involved in writing scripts for the programme too.
Grainne McGuinness from Paper Owl said that their input was vital to ensure Pablo's experiences were authentic.
"Pablo sees the world in different ways because he's on the autism spectrum," she said.
"It should be the authentic voice of young people on the spectrum, and we've got lots of young people writing for the show and doing the acting.
"Every single script is based on the experience of a real person."
10-year-old Jake Williamson plays Pablo and has spent many days after school recording his lines in the Paper Owl studio.
"Pablo is non-verbal, and that means you don't really speak that much," he said.
"When he goes into his art-world I think he feels a bit more happy that he's communicating with other people."
In the imaginary world Pablo draws, he creates a number of friends, the book animals.
Rachael Dickson plays one of them, a character called Mouse.
"Mouse likes to get advance warnings about things, and she likes to collect things," she said.
"She's quite grown up, an honest person and very friendly."
"She's also very cute, but the right kind of cute!"
Like Rachael, Tony Finnegan has written some scripts for the series.
He also plays one of the book animals - a dinosaur called Noah - and he said that he and Noah share some traits.
"I saw a lot of myself in him," he told me.
"He's very warm and friendly, but he also lacks certain social skills."
"That doesn't mean he's dumb in any way, it just means he doesn't quite know how to respond to people."
"That was pretty much me in my childhood."
Grainne McGuinness said the series will be fun for young children, but also has an important message.
"Pablo puts the traits of autism on the screen for a mainstream audience."
"The hope is that through exposure to those traits people gain understanding of what it might feel like to be on the autism spectrum."
"We have found huge levels of creativity, focus and preparation in the people we have worked with."
"It's been a very inspirational process."
'Pablo' is due to be broadcast in late 2017.


Tourists enjoying an apartment in Barcelona may not know it, but the terms of their lease are, so to speak, in dispute.

There are people in Spain's prime city-break destination who want visitors out of the apartments they source on home rental websites, and back into the city's hotels, because local people cannot keep up with rising rents.
The campaign to keep rents affordable is one strand in the strategy pursued by the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages (PAH), a grassroots group which has branches across Spain but began in Barcelona six years ago.
On Wednesday evening, I watched 50 or so people attend a PAH meeting in its office in downtown Barcelona.
They discussed the progress of their work to prevent house repossessions, and held a heated debate on how best to pressurise political parties fighting Spain's general election on 20 December.
Spain's voters call for shake-up in classroom
Spain election: Resisting change in a dying Spanish village
Pressure is the word because the PAH professes to keep out of party politics - a challenge when one of its founders is now mayor of Barcelona.
She stepped down to fight the local election in May, but Ada Colau has continued to push the PAH's vision of social justice, seeking to legislate for a safety net for people evicted from their homes.
More controversially, she froze new hotel licences pending a review of the tourism sector, and is threatening to block rental websites which advertise unlicensed apartments.
Monika rests her hand on the balcony rail of the flat, happy to nip back home for my visit this mild afternoon.
Her pride in the arrangement of the combined living room and kitchen is clear. Just about every piece of furniture and appliance was a gift, she explains.
Then we take the stairs down to the ground floor - the lift has not been working for some time - and she lets me and her friends out into the street.
Before we can exit, she has to roll back a metal grill - home security takes on a new meaning when you squat.
Monika, 31, moved in this year after the PAH seized the empty apartment building from a bank.
Her furnishings, she says, were donated by members of the PAH and people in the district.
"We do not recuperate buildings because we like it," she says. "We occupy out of need."
She would not otherwise have anywhere to live on her earnings from telesales work and pizza delivery, she explains.
Cesar Llerins also works in the catering industry but at the higher end, as a waiter in a restaurant popular with tourists.
Having recently become a father, the 43-year-old has his future carefully mapped out. It revolves around a monthly salary of 2,500 euros (Â£1,809; $2,745), of which 476 euros goes on his mortgage, which has 15 years remaining.
"Ada Colau is good for unemployed people but no good for the rest," he tells me when I meet him out walking in the mountains on his day off.
"The normal thing is if you like a house, you pay for it. Maybe a small amount, but you pay."
Asked how he will vote, he says either Ciudadanos or Podemos, the new parties of the right and left respectively.
The key issue for this mortgage-payer is the 20% tax he pays, which he would like to see lowered to 15%.
PAH supporters cannot say publicly how they will vote though it is a fair bet that many will back Barcelona en Comu, an umbrella group that includes Podemos.
Santi Mas de Xaxas Faus, a current spokesman for PAH, described its work to me:
Seven evictions took place on Wednesday, Santi says, but the PAH cannot act if people do not approach them.
A businessman who does not own a house himself, he believes that sooner or later everyone will be affected by the debt "scam" organised by financial institutions and politicians.
"It's a strong word but when you realise it is a scam, you realise you have to fight back because nobody is going to come and do it for you," he says.
He tells me the organisation needs to keep mobilising as its work provides the justification for Mayor Colau's reforms.
Her stunning victory in May saw Catalan nationalists ejected from power in their own capital city, in a critical year for the cause of independence.
But whatever the result for her party and Podemos this month, the PAH's cause remains.
"Without the PAH, I would have to occupy a building myself," Monika says.


Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to speak to in connection with a "terrifying" assault on a young woman in Glasgow city centre.

The 20-year-old was attacked near the Revolution Bar in Renfield Street at about 00:25 on Saturday 18 March.
She was approached by the male attacker while she was sitting in a doorway, waiting for a taxi.
Detectives believe the man in the photographs may have information that will help them with their inquiries.
Det Con Paul Houston, of Police Scotland, said the streets were busy with people celebrating St Patrick's Day when the incident happened.
"A young female has been left in a state of shock and distress having been assaulted following a night out with friends," he said.
"This was a terrifying attack that took place in Glasgow city centre which left her deeply upset.
"The city centre was busy with St Patrick's Day revellers and I'm appealing for the identification of this male as we believe he may be able to assist with the ongoing investigation."
He urged anyone who recognised the man to contact police.
The man in the images is white, aged between 20 and 30, and about 5ft 8in tall. He is of slim build and has brown hair.
He was wearing a light-coloured jacket with a black cardigan or waistcoat and a white shirt underneath.
He was also wearing dark trousers and distinctive trainers, with a white rim and white toe, possibly Converse.
He was last seen walking north on Renfield Street at its junction with Bath Street.


England prop Joe Marler has been given a formal warning for posting an obscene tweet about former Australia coach Bob Dwyer.

The Rugby Football Union said Marler - who immediately deleted the remark - was "extremely apologetic".
Dwyer had claimed England were scrummaged illegally during the win over the Wallabies on Saturday.
Marler asked to miss the tour to Australia to "recharge his batteries" after a difficult season.
In April, the Harlequins prop was fined £20,000 and given a two-week ban for calling Wales prop Samson Lee "Gypsy boy" during the Six Nations.
He was suspended for a further two weeks for kicking Grenoble hooker Arnaud Heguy in his first game back.
The RFU said the warning would remain on Marler's disciplinary record for five years and could be used in any future proceedings.
Eddie Jones' side will seal England's first series win in Australia if they win the second Test in Melbourne on Saturday.
