Humberside Police has been rated "inadequate" at keeping people safe and reducing crime.

Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) said the force had a "limited understanding" of demand for its services and raised "serious concerns" over the way it is organised.
Humberside was the only force to be rated inadequate in a review of police efficiency across England and Wales.
Chief Constable Justine Curran said the force had "moved on" since the report.
HM Inspector of Constabulary Mike Cunningham said: "Humberside Police has a limited understanding of the current and future demand for its services and, as it is unable to fully match resources to demand in some important areas, this affects its ability to provide a good service to the public.
"[It] is working to provide a quality and timely service to the public, something which has been compromised this year by problems with the introduction of a new operating model but its current workforce model is not sustainable."
However, he said the force had met its savings requirement of Â£34m since 2010/11 and balanced its budget.
In April, Humberside Police introduced a "one force" model that did away with separate divisions and led to officers being deployed anywhere instead of working in traditional geographical areas.
It also made changes to shift patterns to try to match the number of officers on duty to the number of emergency calls.
But HMIC said the new timetable had not achieved its aim and "in some areas of the force over half the available staff work at different times to the set shift pattern".
The report said the force would need to cut its budget by 23% - Â£44m - by 2018/19 and was expected to cut a fifth of its 3,178-strong total workforce in the same period. The national average is a 6% percent cut in staff.
Mrs Curran, who was appointed chief constable in April 2013, said she was "really, really disappointed" at the rating but said the inspection was "just a snapshot" and since the HMIC visit in June the force had been working to with Humberside's Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Grove and HMIC to "close any gaps".
She said the restructuring had been undertaken to ensure the force had "people where and when they are most needed" and had encountered some "initial problems" but that "positive results are starting to emerge".
Mr Grove said "a significant amount of work" had taken place since June.


Plans for a multimillion-pound revamp of a Hampshire leisure centre have been given the go-ahead.

The £28m scheme, which will include a larger pool and expanded gym facilities at Fleming Park leisure centre, was approved by Eastleigh Borough Council on Wednesday.
It is hoped the replacement centre will open near Passfield Avenue, Eastleigh in 2017.
The current centre - built in the 1970s - will be demolished.
Grant funding of up to £2m from Sport England and New Homes Bonus funding of £3.8m will support the project with the remainder coming from Eastleigh Borough Council.
Keith House, Liberal Democrat leader of the authority, said the new centre "would underpin our ambitions for a healthy Eastleigh Borough and will allow us to develop our young talent while delivering sports and leisure opportunities for people of all abilities".

Rafael Nadal continued his superb form with a dominant 6-1 6-2 6-2 win over Roberto Bautista Agut to move easily into the French Open quarter-finals.

Second seed Novak Djokovic remains on course to face Nadal in the semi-finals after a 7-6 (7-5) 6-1 6-3 win against 19th seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
Nadal, 31, is looking to become the first man to win 10 titles at a single Grand Slam event.
He will face another Spaniard, Pablo Carreno Busta, in the last eight.
Margaret Court is the only player to have won 10 or more titles at one Grand Slam event, winning the Australian Open on 11 occasions between 1960 and 1973.
Nadal now has a 76-2 win-loss record at Roland Garros with his only defeats coming against Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009 and Djokovic in the 2015 quarter-finals.
Nadal's victory was not quite as simple as Friday's incredible 6-0 6-1 6-0 defeat of Nikoloz Basilashvili but the fourth seed has not dropped a set yet.
It is the 11th time he has reached the quarter-finals at the French Open - a record shared with Roger Federer.
Carreno Busta, 25, reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final with a 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-7 (6-8) 6-4 8-6 win over Canadian fifth seed Milos Raonic.
Carreno Busta, seeded 20th, failed to convert six match points in the deciding set before eventually grinding down last year's Wimbledon runner-up.
And a first career win against a top-10 ranked opponent will be rewarded with a meeting against nine-time champion Nadal.
Twelve-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, 30, has not found his way through the draw as easily as old rival Nadal - especially during a gruelling five-set win against unseeded Argentine Diego Schwartzman in the previous round.
Ramos-Vinolas' resistance in a 73-minute opening set, where Djokovic had his serve broken twice to trail 4-2 before fighting back to win the tie-breaker, indicated it could be another battle for the Serb.
But any fears he might have had were unfounded.
Djokovic won the first four games on his way to wrapping up the second set in 28 minutes, then broke again in the sixth game of the third set - after Ramos-Vinolas saved a break point two games earlier following a thrilling 41-shot rally - before serving out to victory.
Before thinking about the prospect of facing Nadal in the last four, Djokovic's first task is to overcome sixth seed Dominic Thiem.
The 23-year-old Austrian - like Nadal and third seed Stan Wawrinka - has not dropped a set on his way to the last eight, needing little over an hour and a half to win 6-1 6-3 6-1 against unseeded Argentine Horacio Zeballos.
Japan's eighth seed Kei Nishikori survived a scare to beat unseeded South Korean Hyeon Chung in five sets.
Nishikori, 27, needed almost four hours to win 7-5 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 0-6 6-4 in a third-round match finished on Sunday after the previous day's rain delay.
"I think the rain helped me a lot, because I was really down in the fourth set and mentally I wasn't ready," said Nishikori, whose only Grand Slam final appearance came when he lost at the 2014 US Open.
"I knew I had to change something to beat him, so I think I made some adjustments to make it a little better than yesterday."
Big-serving American John Isner, seeded 21, was knocked out in his third-round match by Karen Khachanov of Russia, who won 7-6 (7-1) 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (7-3).
The 21-year-old will now face British world number one Andy Murray in the fourth round on Monday.
French 15th seed Gael Monfils reached the fourth round for a seventh time when compatriot Richard Gasquet withdrew from their rain-delayed match with a thigh injury.
Monfils, 30, was leading 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 4-3 when his opponent withdrew, setting up a last-16 meeting with Wawrinka.


Wales wing Alex Cuthbert could miss the rest of the season with a leg injury.

The Cardiff Blues say Cuthbert suffered a grade two hamstring strain in the first half of Wales' record 30-3 win over England in Cardiff on Saturday.
The 22-year-old's two second half tries were decisive as Wales retained the Six Nations title, and reinforced his claim for a place on the Lions tour of Australia this summer.
He is expected to be out of action for between four and six weeks.
The Blues have five matches left in the Pro 12 championship, finishing with a visit to Ulster on 3 May.
Cuthbert was the leading try scorer in the Six Nations with four, and has now scored nine tries in 18 international appearances for Wales.


Work has begun to dismantle a wall at a north Belfast interface, 30 years after it was erected.

The barrier on the Crumlin Road encloses part of the Ardoyne area.
The Northern Ireland Housing Executive, the housing authority, said it owns 21 recognised "peace wall" locations and this is the first to be transformed.
Contractors moved in on Wednesday to start removing the 8ft high brick structure.
It will be replaced by railings and decorative panels.
The Housing Executive said the wall was erected on the Crumlin Road in the mid-1980s at the same time as new social family homes were built.
It was designed to give protection to residents living at the interface during the Troubles.
The Housing Executive said the "community-led decision" to transform the barrier followed "years of relationship building and talks within and between communities in north Belfast".
Its head of communities, Jennifer Hawthorne, said it was an important moment in the Housing Executive's history.
"It's a community led project, which was initiated by the community," she said.
"The Housing Executive's role has been to enable the community to take this positive step and remove this physical and psychological barrier.
"The transformation of this wall will help to regenerate the area for everyone in the community, it will change the physical environment and the lives of those people who live behind it."
The work is expected to be completed in June.


Woking's winless run in the league extended to 13 games after Gateshead came from behind to earn a point.

The Cardinals took the lead through Matt Robinson's third goal of the season, a fine long-range effort.
Gateshead levelled just before half time though, Ryan Bowman converting a penalty after James Curtis was fouled by Brian Saah.
Robinson was denied by Gateshead goalkeeper Sam Russell late on as neither side could find a winner.
The result leaves both sides near the middle of the table, with Gateshead eight points from the play-offs with three games to play and Woking safe from relegation despite a winless run that stretches back to January.
Woking boss Garry Hill told BBC Surrey:

"You are always happy with a point but you want to win games and I felt over the 90 minutes if any team was going to win or deserved to win it was going to be us.
"The frustrating part was in the last five games we have been 1-0 up and 2-0 up in those ones. We are giving away cheap goals and we've invited teams back in the match from experienced players."


A policeman who was seen dancing with young fans at One Love Manchester has said his phone "hasn't stopped ringing" since he went viral.

He was identified by Durham Police as PC Paul Taylor from Darlington.
PC Taylor was seen linking arms with a group of fans and dancing in a circle during Justin Bieber's performance.
"I had posed for a picture with these two young girls who were with their mum, and they asked if I'd like to dance," he explained.
"I can't remember what was playing at the time, I think it may have been Justin Bieber. Since the clip went viral my phone hasn't stopped ringing!"
One Love Manchester was praised for bringing the city together at a time of immense grief.
The benefit concert was described invariably - and correctly - as a night of joy, unity, solidarity and defiance.
Those in attendance, including some of the artists, struggled to hold back tears - the emotion still raw from the suicide bombing that killed 22 people last month.
For viewers at home who'd just about managed to hold it together, the moment that many said tipped them over the edge involved seeing PC Taylor dancing with the six fans.
It was a glorious sight.
BBC music reporter Mark Savage described it as the point he "broke" while others said it was their "favourite moment" of the show, with others adding that they were "weeping".
PC Taylor, who has 20 years in service, got back home at 03:30 BST after working at the concert.
He said: "One Love Manchester was an amazing experience and it made such a change to have people coming up to us saying they were glad we were there and how reassured they felt.
"We were just there to play our part helping our Greater Manchester Police colleagues after such an enormous and tragic event."
It may only have lasted for a few seconds on screen, but it was seized upon by fans as a symbol of Manchester's spirit of resilience.
And it's fair to say the city feels a certain bond with Ariana, as many of the tweets on Sunday night proved.
"So impressed with Ariana Grande's strength and love for her fans. Seems they have an unbreakable bond in Manchester now," said fan Graeme Shield.
The concert was watched by an average of 10.9 million viewers, peaking at 14.5 million as the gig drew to a close - making it the most watched TV show of the year so far.
It also broke iPlayer records for the most watched non-sporting live event in the catch-up service's history.
The BBC said more than 1.07 million viewers requested to watch the gig live via iPlayer on Sunday evening.
The dancing policeman was one of several moments which made concertgoers and viewers emotional.
Katy Perry's performance was one of the highlights of the evening.
She perfectly captured the mood of the night by performing Part of Me and Roar - probably the two most lyrically poignant songs from her back catalogue she could choose to sing.
But music aside, there was one other seriously classy touch which went unnoticed by many.
When she took off her white-feathered gown, it became apparent the singer was wearing a dress which had photographs printed on it - which appeared to include some of the victims of the Manchester attack.
Taking to social media, fans described it as a "beautiful gesture".
Joan Grande, the singer's mother, was spotted in the crowd, supporting her daughter and meeting members of the audience.
She was seen walking around the edge of the crowd, stopping for selfies and hugs with several fans on the way and telling one: "Do not be afraid."
She had previously tweeted: "I stand with you all in the face of evil and we stand together to never let it ruin our lives."
Viewers certainly noticed the love flowing between Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande as they took to the stage to perform Don't Dream its Over as a duet.
The pair exchanged looks of pure love, shared hugs and got the whole audience to wave their hands in unison to the Crowded House song.
Speaking afterwards, Miley said she wanted to turn such events into a regular occurrence.
She told Nick Grimshaw: "I plan on making music for the rest of my life, and I think that's [Ariana's] plan too, and I think we can be this team until we're old, continue to do things like this, let's not stop today.
"I spoke to her about whether this is going to become an annual thing, let's make it a plan that her and I always do it, so we're always going to make sure that we keep doing this for the rest of our lives."
Crowded House front man Neil Finn tweeted his approval of the them joining forces.
Ariana Grande's manager Scooter Braun introduced the singer on stage at the show, and took the opportunity to pay a graceful and emotional tribute to those who were caught up in the attack.
He made reference to the terrorist attack on London Bridge on Saturday evening, in which seven people were killed and 48 injured.
Speaking from the stage at One Love Manchester, Braun said: "Last night this nation was challenged, and you had a decision to make if you were going to come out here tonight.
"And this is so beautiful. You guys made that decision, you looked fear right in the face and said: 'No, we are Manchester and the world is watching'."
Braun also told the audience about a 15-year-old boy named Adam, who was injured in the Manchester Arena attack, whom he met on Friday in hospital.
He explained: "After surgery we met him, and just as I was about to leave the room, Adam looked at me and he said, 'Hey Scooter, make sure you tell them, don't go forward in anger, love spreads'. Adam - if you're watching, you're our hero tonight.
"This tragedy has made us throw away our divides, or politics, and look to our children. Manchester, your bravery is our hope."

The "time is right" for cricket to apply for a place at the Olympics, according to International Cricket Council chief Dave Richardson.

Cricket has not been played at the Summer Games since Great Britain beat France to win gold in 1900.
But the ICC believes an Olympic Twenty20 tournament is the key to growing the game.
"I think the majority of the members - and certainly myself - think the time is right," said Richardson.
"We've come to the conclusion that the overall benefit to the game, in terms of globalising and growing it, outweighs any negatives.
"We need to make a decision by July so we can make an application in time for September, when, as I understand it, the (International Olympic Committee) will consider new sports for 2024."
The 2024 Games will be hosted by either Paris or Los Angeles, with a decision due in September 2017.
Find out how to get into cricket with our inclusive guide.
With growing concerns about the cost of staging the Games, the IOC has been reluctant to go much beyond 11,000 athletes at an Olympics, although it did add five new sports to the programme for Tokyo 2020 without removing any.
Richardson, who made 164 appearances for South Africa in Tests and one-day internationals, said preliminary talks with the IOC have already taken place and the discipline to be included for consideration must be a format played at international level.
"They haven't said [an existing] sport would have to go [to make room], but they said when taking any decision on a new sport they've got an overall limit on the number of athletes," he said.
"So as a team sport we would only fit six to eight teams. T20 is the ideal format and we'd say even better than rugby sevens as it's actually one of the mainstream formats of cricket."
He said that he did not think there would be any opposition from ICC members England or West Indies due to the fact that they would not be able to compete at a Games under those banners.
He suggested England would be relaxed about playing along with other home nations as Great Britain.


Warrenpoint Town's appeal against their Premiership relegation has been rejected after an arbitration hearing.

The club appealed the IFA's decision not to impose a penalty on Carrick Rangers after then manager Gary Haveron incorrectly served a ban.
A successful appeal would have left Carrick relegated and Warrenpoint in a promotion/relegation play-off.
The decision means Ballinamallard and Institute will meet in the play-off second leg on Wednesday (19:45 BST).
An IFA Disciplinary Committee opted not to punish Carrick, despite finding that their former manager Haveron had not properly served a touchline ban.
The committee said it was exercising its discretion in the matter.
Haveron sat out a three-game ban handed out by the IFA, but was in the dugout for his club's match against Dungannon Swifts on 23 April when he should not have been.
Carrick faced a possible three-point deduction and relegation from the top flight, plus a possible fine of at least £350, if the outcome of the hearing had not gone in their favour.
The play-off first leg, which Ballinamallard won 2-1 at the Riverside Stadium, took place on 6 May with the second leg delayed until the relegation controversy was resolved.


The Royal Mint has unveiled a new coinage portrait of the Queen.

It shows a side profile of the 88-year-old monarch wearing a crown and drop earrings.
It is only the fifth definitive coin portrait to have been created during her 63-year reign.
Coins featuring the new image will go into production from Monday but will only appear in circulation later this year.
The portrait was designed by engraver Jody Clark, whose design was selected in a competition organised by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee, a consultative panel to HM Treasury.
Mr Clark, 34, said: "I hope that I've done Her Majesty justice and captured her as I intended, in a fitting representation.
"The news that my design had been chosen was quite overwhelming, and I still can't quite believe that my royal portrait will be featured on millions of coins."
Adam Lawrence, chief executive of the Royal Mint, said the change of royal portrait made 2015 a "vintage year" for UK coins.
He added: "Capturing a portrait on the surface of a coin demands the utmost skill, and is one of the most challenging disciplines of the coin designer's art."
The winning art work was recommended to the Chancellor, and then the Queen, for final approval.


A car-free day to curb pollution in Madrid has been cursed by Spanish drivers who got stuck in traffic jams, described as the worst for months.

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


Celtic showed they are up for a title fight after a 1-1 draw with Glasgow City at the K Park Training Academy.

Natalie Ross' close-range finish gave Celtic a deserved lead, but SWPL champions City fought back and an own goal gave them a share of the points.
That result allowed Hibernian to go top with a thumping 6-0 win over Aberdeen.
Rangers are still looking for their first point after a 5-3 loss to Stirling University, while Spartans beat Hamilton Accies 1-0.
It was only the second game of the season, but it was a chance to see if Celtic have what it takes to be the ones to end City's 10-year stranglehold on the league championship.
In the early stages, they looked like they had spent the whole of pre-season waiting to get a crack at the champions.
City had to dig deep against a Celtic side who dominated the first half and they could have been more than a goal behind at the break.
Ross gave the hosts a 17th minute lead when she drifted in between the City defence to knock Sarah Ewens' cross past goalkeeper Lee Alexander.
Lauren Silver had a firm shot held by the goalkeeper in a rare City attack, but they were being pinned back for long spells and Jaclyn Poucel, one of two new American signings who joined Celtic on Friday, was unfortunate to miss the target with a header from Heather Richards' corner.
Ruesha Littlejohn's dipping shot was just over, but for all their pressure, Celtic were not testing the goalkeeper and Nicola Docherty hit the side netting for City just before the half-time whistle.
The champions were on the ropes, but it was a different City that emerged after the break.
Celtic goalkeeper Megan Cunningham pulled off the save of the match to tip Savannah Jordan's stabbed shot wide.
Leanne Ross' long free-kick was then pushed past the post and, from the resulting corner, City pulled level with the ball hitting off Celtic's Kerry Montgomery and into the net.
After controlling so much of the game, the hosts were now hanging on.
Keeva Keenan headed just wide with five minutes to go and, as the late onslaught continued, Megan Foley scraped the bar with a long-range effort.
Glasgow City captain Leanne Ross said they were disappointed not to claim all three points as they relinquished top spot to Hibs.
"Towards the end of the game, we were coming more and more into it and we were looking more likely to get the winner, but we're disappointed in the performance today and the result," Ross told BBC Scotland.
"It's the result that counts in the end. We've not got the result that we wanted, so it's disappointing.
"We had to be more competitive, be more composed, keep the ball.
"We were giving the ball away under little or no pressure. It's just about trying to pass the ball and create chances for ourselves."
City head coach Scott Booth echoed his captain's comments and said it was a "frustrating" afternoon for his side.
"We improved the longer the game went on, but we know we can play much better," he said.

The Bishop of Truro is to be appointed to a top job in the Church of England.

The Right Reverend Tim Thornton has been announced as the new Bishop at Lambeth.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said Bishop Tim was known for his work helping people "on the margins of society".
His duties will include supporting the Archbishop's work in the House of Bishops, General Synod and the Archbishop's Council.
For more on Rt Revd Tim Thornton and other news
The Archbishop said he was "delighted" to welcome Bishop Thornton to Lambeth Palace.
"His work on Feeding Britain demonstrates his range of ability and skill in bringing people together," he said.
The Bishop of St Germans, the Rt Rev Dr Chris Goldsmith, said Bishop Thornton would be missed in Cornwall.
"Not only has he been tireless in inspiring people to look for new ways to meet the challenges of ensuring the church remains relevant, engaged and engaging in the 21st Century, he has also been a keen advocate for the county, and particularly some of its least privileged members," he said.


Andy Murray outplayed defending champion Stan Wawrinka to become the first British man to reach a French Open final since 1937.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Scot, seeded second, won 6-4 6-2 4-6 6-2 and will face world number one Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final.
Djokovic beat Austrian 13th seed Dominic Thiem 6-2 6-1 6-4.
Murray, 29, matches the achievement of Britain's last finalist Bunny Austin - and will now hope to equal Fred Perry's victory of 1935.
He also becomes one of only 10 men since the open era began in 1968 to have reached the final of all four Grand Slam tournaments.
"I'm extremely proud," said Murray. "I never expected to reach the final here, I always struggled on the clay. I hope I can put on a good match on Sunday."
Wawrinka, 31, had won their last three matches and came out firing on all cylinders, but once Murray had saved a break point in a lengthy opening service game he steadily assumed control.
A backhand smash gave Murray the break in game three and he served superbly under pressure to fend off three break points before sealing the set after 50 minutes.
The brilliant shot-making that had helped Wawrinka upset Djokovic in last year's final was increasingly matched by errors as Murray's terrific movement made winners hard to come by.
Wawrinka looked a forlorn figure when Murray broke to love early in the second set, and a second break soon followed as the Briton buzzed with energy on a dank afternoon in Paris.
Murray closed it out with another winning first serve and looked on the verge of victory with a break point in the third, but Wawrinka hit a big serve down the middle and raised his level as the set progressed.
It still appeared that Murray was the man in control but from 5-4, 40-15 he lost four straight points and Wawrinka roared in delight as he clinched the set.
There was no sustained comeback from the champion, however, as Murray regained the initiative in the fourth set with an immediate break.
An unplayable drop shot followed by a stunning lob showed the confidence of the former Wimbledon and US Open champion, and he broke serve for a fifth time on his way to a comprehensive victory.
"To play at that level in the semis of the French Open is very pleasing," added Murray. "There was a lot of pressure there today."
Wawrinka said: "I think that Andy played really so well today. He was the strongest on the court."
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
"This was a pitch perfect performance from Murray, who has turned himself into the complete modern clay-court player. He was not the only one who thought a place in the French Open final might be one of the few career goals to escape him.
"Wawrinka's opening salvo was ferocious and yet crucially it was Murray who had the break of serve by the first change of ends. The drop shot was used expertly, and judiciously, and more than often he found just the right moment to steal into the net. Murray's serve was commanding, and Wawrinka's chipped returns ineffectual.
"Knocking out the champion has allowed Murray to dominate the headlines, but Djokovic tuned up perfectly for Sunday, too. He has played on each of the last four days, but offered his opponents very few crumbs of comfort."
Top seed Djokovic looked in superb form as he saw off Thiem in straight sets to reach a fourth French Open final.
The Serb, 29, dominated against a player in his first Grand Slam semi-final to move within one victory of completing the set of all four major titles.
Their semi-final was played on the second show court as organisers looked to get the schedule back on track after persistent rain in Paris.
"The atmosphere was fantastic," said Djokovic. "It's the first time I have played a semi-final on the Suzanne Lenglen court.
"I played the best tennis of the tournament so far. I am now in the situation where I always dream of being each season, in the final of Roland Garros."
Djokovic has now reached six consecutive Grand Slam finals and will try to win his 12th title on Sunday.

Pupils at two Glasgow primaries look set to lose the right to attend one of Scotland's top performing secondaries.

St Ninian's High, in Giffnock, covers three local and two Glasgow primaries.
East Renfrewshire Council wants to limit automatic entry to its own area with Glasgow pupils only gaining access through placing requests.
It looks set to back the move after a consultation showed most local parents supported plans. Glasgow respondents and most pupils were strongly opposed.
The recommendation to proceed is contained in a report detailing the results of the consultation which ran from September to December last year.
East Renfrewshire Council is seeking to change the current St Ninian's catchment area as it says the Roman Catholic-denominational school is at capacity and cannot cope with higher numbers.
The cross-border arrangement between East Renfrewshire Council and Glasgow City Council over the school was born out of local government reorganisation in the mid-1990s.
It was agreed that pupils from St Angela's and the former St Louise's primary schools in Glasgow would attend St Ninian's.
When St Louise's was closed during a merger with St Vincent's Primary, a portion of its pupils who stayed in certain postcode areas, retained the right to transfer to St Ninian's.
New housing developments in the St Angela's catchment area also saw more children from Glasgow qualify for transfer to St Ninian's.
East Renfrewshire now wants to limit automatic admission to St Ninian's to its three local schools - St Cadoc's, St Joseph's, and Our Lady of the Missions.
Under the new proposals, the authority would only accept pupils from the Glasgow schools under placing requests, with no guarantee given as to admission.
In the case of these placing requests, priority would be given to pupils who were baptised Catholics.
More than 4,000 people - including parents and pupils - responded to the consultation on the proposals.
A majority of parents from East Renfrewshire who responded backed the moves with a majority in Glasgow opposed.
Most of the pupils from East Renfrewshire who responded to the consultation disagreed with the proposals, as did all of the parent councils that responded.
A council report on the consultation has now recommended "that the education committee adopts the proposals to change the admissions arrangements to St Ninian's High School for the start of the school session 2012-13 and beyond".
To see a more detailed breakdown of responses, including from parents, unions, staff and parent councils go to pages 7 to 10 of the consultation document.


County Championship leaders Middlesex dominated Lancashire on day two to move closer to a first title since 1993.

Lancashire were reduced to 6-4 and 32-5 before recovering to 102-5, still 225 behind, when rain and bad light ended play 28 overs early at Old Trafford.
Middlesex earlier lost seven wickets for 65 runs to be bowled out for 327.
If Middlesex win and Somerset beat Yorkshire at Headingley, Middlesex will need four points from their final game against Yorkshire to become champions.
Whereas the visiting batsmen benefited from some loose Lancashire bowling on the first day, the Middlesex attack made perfect use of the new ball and the movement offered from the surface to rip through the home top order.
Toby Roland-Jones, constantly asking questions with a full length, had England prospect Haseeb Hameed caught at second slip without scoring, before Tim Murtagh induced an edge to gully from Luke Procter.
Roland-Jones then had Alviro Petersen held down the leg side, despite the batsman's protests, and yorked Steven Croft two balls later to leave the hosts in disarray at 6-4.
Jos Buttler briefly sparkled, but when he was brilliantly caught down the leg side by John Simpson to give Roland-Jones a fourth wicket, Lancashire were 32-5.
It was left to Rob Jones, in only his third first-class match, and Liam Livingstone to rebuild in an unbroken stand of 70, occasionally aided by light only good enough for Middlesex to bowl their spinners.
When the weather intervened for the final time, Jones, solid in defence, was unbeaten on 42 and Livingstone 31 not out.
The collapse came after an improved bowling display by Lancashire, with Kyle Jarvis and Tom Bailey making inroads with the second new ball and spinner Simon Kerrigan running through the lower order.
Overnight pair Dawid Malan (53) and Stevie Eskinazi were bowled by Bailey and Jarvis respectively before Bailey had Simpson caught at second slip.
Kerrigan, who struggled on the first day, showed a greater consistency of length to find turn and some uneven bounce, removing Ollie Rayner, Roland-Jones and Steven Finn in figures of 4-80.


A Ukrainian man has been arrested after he was found to be posing as a high school student in the US state of Pennsylvania for four years.

Artur Samarin, 23, enrolled at Harrisburg High under the name "Asher Potts" after his visa expired in 2012.
Police say he now faces charges of theft, identity theft and tampering with public records.
Mr Samarin, who was pretending to be 18, was said to be an active member of the school community.
Police said he was in possession of a driver's license using the Potts name at the time of his arrest, as well as a Social Security card obtained using a false birth date. They suspect his identity was fabricated, and not stolen.
Harrisburg School district official Kirsten Keys said her department was cooperating with the police.
Local news outlets say he was an active student at the school.
He was seen in May 2014 posing with state lawmaker Patty Kim, who tweeted a photo after presenting "Asher Potts" with a certificate introducing him as "a new member of the National Honor Society".
Marcel McCaskill, who joined Mr Samarin on a seven-week science and maths programme at Penn State told AP it was "totally mind-blowing" to find out about his real identity.
"Honestly, he was a very respectable guy. He was the perfect role model, someone you would want your son to look up to."
He was involved in food banks and cadet programmes, according to one report, and was even on the panel of a forum discussing youth violence in the greater Harrisburg area at the start of the year.


An inventory of items which survived last year's fire at Glasgow School of Art has been produced following work by a team of forensic archaeologists.

The Grade A-listed art nouveau Mackintosh building was badly damaged in the blaze on 23 May.
The majority of the paper artworks in the library, including 100 by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, were unharmed.
Two of his oil paintings were among 90 works by artists including Newbery and Joan Eardley that were lost.
The art school confirmed that the majority of intricate pieces that made up the library's central light fitting had been found.
The three-month sifting operation also recovered parts of the original library chairs and periodicals desk.
About 8,000 rare books and journals were destroyed when flames engulfed the library.
However, the bulk of the rare book collection is housed in another building and was undamaged.
All of the salvaged material will now be carefully stored and reviewed by expert conservators as part of a recovery programme over the next three years.
An investigation by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service concluded the blaze was caused by flammable gases from a canister of expanding foam.
The report, released in November, said the gases ignited as they came into contact with the hot surface of a projector in Studio 19.
Glasgow School of Art is continuing with efforts to raise £20m towards the eventual cost of restoring the Mackintosh building and its contents.


South Africa have named three uncapped players in the squad for the four-match Test series in England, with Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers absent.

Steyn has not recovered from a shoulder injury, while De Villiers is continuing to take a break from Test cricket.
Heino Kuhn, Aiden Markram and Andile Phehlukwayo are the uncapped Test players named in the squad.
All-rounder Wayne Parnell, spinner Dane Piedt and Durham opener Stephen Cook have not been picked.
Kuhn has played seven Twenty20 internationals and replaces Cook after making centuries for South Africa A against Hampshire and England Lions recently.
Seamer Phehlukwayo, 21, was part of South Africa's squad for the recent Champions Trophy and the T20 series defeat by England.
Linda Zondi, Cricket South Africa's selection convener. said Kuhn was in "outstanding form" while "Andile's selection is a continuation of our drive to develop bowling all-rounders for the Test team".
He added: "He [Phehlukwayo] and Chris Morris will fill this role in support of Vernon Philander. At the age of 21, he is certainly one for the future."
Markram will provide batting cover for captain Faf du Plessis, who could miss the first Test at Lord's because his wife is set to give birth in early July.
Dean Elgar will captain the side in a warm-up match against England Lions and, if required, will stand in for Du Plessis in the first Test.
South Africa squad: Faf du Plessis (captain), Hashim Amla, Temba Bavuma, Theunis de Bruyn, Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Dean Elgar, Heino Kuhn, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris, Duanne Olivier, Andile Phehlukwayo, Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada.


Stuart Armstrong is being strongly tipped for a Scotland call-up on Monday and underlined his fine form by scoring in Celtic's 1-1 draw with Rangers.

Media playback is not supported on this device
It will be a major surprise if the uncapped 24-year-old midfielder is not named in Gordon Strachan's squad to face Canada and Slovenia.
Armstrong was a dominant presence for Brendan Rodgers' side and opened the scoring with a 35th-minute strike.
Rangers' reply came after he went off with tight calf muscles.
But it is unlikely to be a problem that would force his withdrawal should he be called up by the national head coach.
Scotland host Canada on 22 March in a warm-up friendly at Easter Road before facing Slovenia at Hampden Park four days later in a World Cup qualifier they must win to rekindle their hopes of qualifying for the 2018 finals.
Strachan's side lie fifth in Group F after successive 3-0 defeats away to Slovakia and England.
The national coach, who was at Celtic Park for Sunday's Old Firm derby, faces selection dilemmas created by a plethora of similar talent in midfield and a dearth of options in defence and up front.
Craig Gordon has not only bounced back from being dropped by Rodgers to reclaim his place at Celtic but has cemented his status as Scotland's number one with some impressive performances.
David Marshall is likely to retain his squad place despite having lost his starting place at Hull City, while Jack Hamilton could be along for the journey again even though his form has been inconsistent at Hearts.
Right-back is a new problem area for Strachan following a long-term injury picked up by Hearts' Callum Paterson.
Ikechi Anya was a surprise choice in that position against England and performed competently.
However, Phil Bardsley should surely be in the head coach's thoughts after reclaiming a regular place with a Stoke City side who held Manchester City to a 0-0 draw away from home in their last outing.
Left-back is, of course, where Scotland have immense strength in depth and Celtic's Kieran Tierney and Hull City's Andrew Robertson are certainties to return to the squad, having missed the England game through injury, probably at the expense of Swansea City's Stephen Kingsley.
Central defence has long been Scotland's Achilles heel and there seems no light at the end of a tunnel bereft of quality alternatives.
Grant Hanley and Christophe Berra started against England and the former has dropped back to the Newcastle United bench in recent weeks, while Russell Martin has been part of a Norwich City side whose dip in form led to the sacking of manager Alex Neil.
Veteran Gordon Greer is on the way to recovering from a calf injury that has kept him out of the Blackburn Rovers side.
Team-mate Charlie Mulgrew was pushing for an international recall but missed out on Saturday against Norwich with a hamstring injury.
Partick Thistle's Liam Lindsay has shown some promise, but the 21-year-old has yet to even feature in the national set-up at any level.
Midfield is another area where Scotland have been spoiled for choice and it could again work against the prospects of in-form Aberdeen 25-year-old Graeme Shinnie's chances of winning a first cap - never mind a call-up.
Regular starting places will secure the places of Celtic's Scott Brown, who came out of international retirement to face England, and James Forrest, West Brom's Darren Fletcher, Newcastle's Matt Ritchie and Sheffield Wednesday's Barry Bannan.
The same could be said of Robert Snodgrass and James Morrison, who found themselves dropped to the bench for West Ham United and West Brom respectively on Saturday.
However, Oliver Burke has been used sparingly by Bundesliga outfit Leipzig and James McArthur is now having a similar experience at Crystal Palace.
Strachan will surely find room in his squad for Armstrong, whose 11th goal of the season in Sunday's derby with Rangers again emphasised his improvement under Rodgers this season.
Winger Ryan Fraser must also be pushing for a place in the squad after becoming a regular starter for Bournemouth following some scintillating form in the Premier League.
Tom Cairney, who scored his fourth goal in seven games on Saturday as Fulham beat English Championship leaders Newcastle, is another uncapped midfielder who would consider himself unlucky to be overlooked.
Strachan would surely trade a couple of midfielders for more choice of striker.
Leigh Griffiths started against England but has found himself out of the Celtic side thanks to the class of Moussa Dembele.
Chris Martin, who has been in dispute with Fulham after he wanted to end his loan from Derby County, was dropped to the bench on Saturday, while Steven Naismith has failed to secure a regular place with Norwich.
Steven Fletcher has often been the go-to man for Strachan, but the 29-year-old has been on the Sheffield Wednesday bench for seven games in a row - behind compatriot Jordan Rhodes.
Rhodes' failure to win a regular place at Middlesbrough had paused the constant questioning of Strachan's reluctance to pick a striker who has had a prolific career.
However, Rhodes will probably need more than three goals in eight games since his loan move to the Owls for the Scotland boss to reassess what appears to be his opinion that the 27-year-old is not suited to an international starting place.


A group of parents have formed a "vigilante" group to confront paedophiles by posing as young girls online.

The four parents, calling themselves Letzgo Hunting, said they had challenged seven men in person after chatting with them on the internet.
Four men have been arrested based on evidence gathered by the group.
But police said their tactics could have a "negative effect" on child abuse victims and their success in court.
Leicestershire Police said that last month they arrested a 54-year-old man in Warwickshire, a 24-year-old man in Loughborough, and a 33-year-old man in Hinckley.
A 45-year-old man was arrested in the West Midlands last week. All are currently on police bail pending further enquiries.
One member of Letzgo Hunting, who calls himself Scumm Buster online, defended the group's activities.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Victoria Derbyshire, he explained: "We are vigilantes, definitely. We're not working within the law. But we're not a vigilante lynch mob.
"We're not there to hurt anybody. We are there to get an explanation."
He said the group - three men and one woman - posed online as girls aged between 12 and 15. They chatted to men online, some of whom wanted to have intimate conversations of a sexual nature.
"We try to get them to say, in as much detail as possible, exactly what they want to do," Scumm Buster said.
Some online exchanges are held "over a month or two, because the more they say, the more can go into their prosecution", he added.
The men then suggest a meeting, local to where the "girl" lives. They are asked to bring condoms and alcohol.
The meeting sometimes involves the female member of the group waiting in an open, public area to encourage the man to get out of his car.
"Once out of the car, we make it very clear that we're not there to be offensive to them, we're not there to hurt him, and we're only there to have a talk to them about what they're doing," Scumm Buster said.
He also stressed the purpose of the encounters was "to show their intent", and to demonstrate that the men were breaking the law under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 by inciting a child to participate in a sexual act.
"While they are on the internet - in a fantasy world - saying they are going to do this and that, there are no particular laws broken.
"Once they show up and make it very clear that their intent is to meet the person for sex, that's the bit where the law is actually broken."
Of the nine people the group say they have met since January, seven were spoken to while being filmed, and the other two drove away from the meeting place.
The group said they had given car registration numbers to the police.
Asked how he felt at the meetings, Scumm Buster said: "Anger, of course. It would be unnatural if I wasn't feeling angry.
"We're angry, we're upset. The things we see them say, I wouldn't normally say to my partner. It's too offensive - it isn't right the things they are saying."
However, Leicestershire Police said it did not endorse such tactics and urged people with suspicions of child abuse to contact police, Crimestoppers or the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP).
"Unfortunately, these kinds of public 'naming and shaming' activities can actually have a negative effect on victims of child abuse.
"While we understand the strong feelings that motivate this kind of activity, it can seriously affect the chances of success in court, preventing victims from getting justice and increasing the chances of offenders walking free.
"It also fails to take into account that many victims of child abuse are children or family of the offenders, thus bringing extra distress to innocent people and affecting our ability to safeguard victims."
CEOP also warned of the consequences of unlawful activity by vigilante groups.
"While we understand the public's desire to protect their children from online abuse, we do not encourage vigilante investigations of this nature as they can compromise ongoing investigations into paedophile networks, and could spark an abuser to harm a child if they feel threatened.
"Identifying alleged paedophiles is best left to the police and suspected incidences of online grooming can be reported to CEOP."


The bodies of an elderly couple have lain in a public mortuary for the past 10 years because of a legal wrangle, BBC Scotland can reveal.

They belong to an elderly couple who died in 1987 and 1994. Edinburgh City Council has been unable to gain family consent to bury or cremate the bodies.
The authority believes it is powerless to act without appropriate permission.
Eugenois Marcel died of prostate cancer in 1994 at the age of 91. His wife Hilda died seven years earlier in 1987.
She was 68 and suffered lung failure.
They lie in an Edinburgh mortuary, in the Cowgate.
The pair were moved to Edinburgh City Mortuary after being found mummified in the basement of a shop on Gilmore Place in 2002.
It is understood they were kept there by a son who visited them regularly.
When they were discovered, the father had already been dead for eight years and the mother for 15 years.
An Edinburgh City Council spokesman said: "This is a unique case with very unusual circumstances which has obviously been very difficult for those involved.
"However, we are hopeful that this matter can be resolved in the near future."
Both deaths had been registered under law and death certificates issued.
After an initial police investigation into the find, no charges were brought and the case was dropped.
But Professor Roderick Paisley, a law lecturer from Aberdeen University who specialises in mortality, told BBC Scotland there are laws which give the local authority the power to act.
He said: "It's simply the case, if no-one else is dealing with it, that the council have a right (to cremate).
"They also have a statutory duty imposed by an act of parliament requiring them to attend to the proper disposal of the bodies."
He added: "The family have no veto on that at all."
It is not unusual for bodies to be stored for long periods but only if they cannot be identified.
That situation led to a high profile mix up in Hull earlier this year when the body of ex-paratrooper Christopher Alder was found in a mortuary 10 years after his burial.
The body of an unidentified woman had been released by mistake.
BBC Scotland tried to contact the next of kin of the dead couple without success.
The city council have been in regular communication with them trying to resolve this situation, as recently as this year.
They now plan to make contact again in the hope of bringing this long running dispute to an end.


For a school that is in "special measures", it doesn't feel like Carlton Bolling College is failing.

Exam results are good, improving and, if headteacher Adrian Kneeshaw and his team have got it right, they will be ahead of comparable schools within a year.
But it is not the GCSE results that were the problem here. It was the school's ability to govern itself and, critically in Ofsted's view, protect its predominantly Muslim students from extremism.
On Monday, we visited Carlton Bolling for a BBC Radio 5 Live three-hour special looking at how a school in special measures turns itself around.
Last year, Bradford City Council sacked the governors at the overwhelmingly Muslim school after a devastating Ofsted report.
It found the school had inadequate measures in place to protect children from harm - in particular a failure to educate children about the risks of extremism.
A former headteacher had quit amid pressure from a minority of governors to shift the school on to a conservative Islamic footing, including segregating the sexes and restricting the curriculum.
Sounds familiar? These are the kind of problems that had already been played out in schools in Birmingham in the so-called "Trojan Horse" affair.
The well-reported crisis over Carlton Bolling's governance and direction felt to some like a "told you so" moment.
In the 1980s, one of Bradford's headteachers, the late Ray Honeyford, was at the centre of a national media storm after he warned about cultural segregation.
Thirty years later, the debate over the role of our schools in preventing extremism and fostering strong cohesive communities has rarely been louder.
Carlton Bolling students tell 5Live what they've learned about radicalisation
As of July, schools in England, Scotland and Wales are under a duty to do what they can to prevent people being drawn into terrorism.
The new law has many critics - but they are not at Carlton Bolling.
If anything, the Ofsted special measures regime - and the public debate over extremism - looks like it has been a blessing in disguise.
Staff believe their new approach to tackling extremism head-on, and getting students to respect each other's backgrounds, has lessons for teachers who fear where to tread.
Adrian Kneeshaw says that when the school began developing its counter-extremism strategy, they didn't just take government guidance off the shelf and read it out to students.
Instead, his deputy Jane Girt assembled a tight-knit team to look at how they could devise materials that spoke the same language as their own students - and taught them to think for themselves.
The official policy says: "Our definition of radical or extreme ideology is 'a set of ideas which could justify vilification or violence against individuals, groups or self'.
"Carlton Bolling College recognises its duty to protect our students from indoctrination into any form of extreme ideology."
The school's counter-extremism curriculum is focused on getting the students to think about it in all its forms, wherever it takes place, rather than lecturing them merely about jihadist groups.
It begins with some general ideas relating to extremism and animal rights - and then widens the debate over time to more complex themes about identity, terrorism and political violence.
When it comes to al-Qaeda style extremism, the school doesn't  flash up pictures of the twin towers coming down on 9/11.
Ray Honeyford was the head teacher of a school in inner-city Bradford where more than 90% of pupils were non-white.
In 1984 he wrote an article for the right-leaning Salisbury Review in which he argued there were a "growing number of Asians whose aim is to preserve as intact as possible the values and attitudes of the Indian sub-continent within a framework of British social and political privilege, ie to produce Asian ghettoes".
He also criticised "an influential group of black intellectuals of aggressive disposition, who know little of the British traditions of understatement, civilised discourse and respect for reason".
In other words, multiculturalism - by Mr Honeyford's definition, allowing different cultures to remain separate within the same country - was wrong.
In April 1985 he was suspended from duty, but he appealed to the High Court and was allowed to go back to work in September.
However, disgruntled parents and others formed an action group, with large-scale protests taking place outside the school. About half the pupils ceased to attend lessons.
In December 1985 he agreed to retire early, with a pay-off of more than £160,000 from the council.
Instead, it tries to foster critical thinking about the nature of citizenship, belonging and violence.
"We're not the experts on the Quran and Islam," says Adrian Kneeshaw.
"We need to use the people with the right knowledge to help us get the message right."
One of the school's English teachers, Hafiz Rahman, is also a local imam - and he has become a key figure in making sure the language and tone is right for the audience.
"We're very fortunate -  we have the right pieces of the jigsaw in the right places," says Mr Rahman.
"The kids respected what we talked about because we were talking about contemporary issues - about travelling to Syria.
"We were asking them [to debate] why these people are travelling, should they really be travelling - do they understand the root causes of Syria itself?"
When Ofsted recently came back to Carlton Bolling to assess its progress on safeguarding, the inspectors commended an assembly led by Mr Rahman because of his "uncompromising" approach to getting the students to think through the dangers of Syria.
Many critics of the government's agenda to prevent violent extremism say security-driven political rhetoric around Syria is making it harder for young people who are angry to speak honestly because they fear being labelled potential terrorists.
Yet the students we met were quite prepared for some robust debate about Syria, Israel, the Palestinians and the West.
All of them were very conscious of the threat of extremism in their own community and, what they could each do to help marginalise it.
Students discuss radicalisation on 5Live
"Radicalisation is when you want to go and join ISIS," one year seven student told me.
"Debating isn't radicalisation - it's voicing your opinion - and we've got to debate why some people believe something can be solved by becoming violent."
Looming large over the debate in Bradford is the story of the family of 12 from the city who disappeared to Syria.
Carlton Bolling hasn't had to face the same tragedy - so what would Adrian Kneeshaw do if he uncovered extremism in his school?
"We'd go to the police, the local authority, follow the guidelines - and take advice and go from there."
And what would he say to other schools worried about educating their kids about extremism?
"We could offer them help and we'd charge them a lot of money," he jokes.
"Know your kids. Don't just lift something off the shelf - do it for the proper reasons - keeping them safe and preventing harm."


A man who was murdered in a late night car shooting in Glasgow was targeted in a pre-planned attack, police have said.

Euan Johnston, 26, was in the driver's seat of a black Audi RS4 estate when he was shot, on Shields Road, near Scotland Street, at 23:45 on Tuesday.
He died a short time later at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. A passenger in the car was not injured.
Police said Mr Johnston was shot at multiple times by the occupant of a dark-coloured Audi Q5.
Det Supt Jim Kerr, from Police Scotland's major investigations team, said Mr Johnston, from the Maryhill area of Glasgow, had been for a meal and was travelling home, with one other person in the car, when he was shot at multiple times in a pre-planned attack.
The other person in the car, who was not injured, was being treated as "a significant witness", the detective said.
He also revealed that an Audi Q5 that had been found in the city's Possil area. The officer said the investigation team was "interested" because it was the same kind of vehicle that had been seen driving from the scene.
The lead detective said Mr Johnston, who would have turned 27 next week, was "known to police" and when asked to elaborate, said: "It would be unfair really but we have had dealings with him in the past.
"At the end of the day this is a man going about his night-time business with his friend in the car and he's been shot, and nobody expects something like that."
When asked if the shooting was linked to gangs or drugs, Mr Kerr said: "There could be an association or particular motive but we're keeping our options open at the moment in relation to that."
Describing the shooting, Det Supt Kerr said: "The man had just stopped at a pedestrian crossing on Shields Road, just south of its junction with Scotland Street, when he was approached by the Audi Q5.
"Someone from that vehicle shot him and then the car sped off in a northerly direction on Shields Road and turned east into Scotland Street towards the Kingston Bridge.
"This was obviously a targeted attack. Although it was quite late at night, this can be a busy area and there could have been a number of people walking by or in vehicles."
Det Supt Kerr said no-one else was injured but the shooting had been witnessed by members of the public.
"This is a shocking incident and something that no one should have to witness," he said.
"At this time there is no description of anyone in the suspect car, however, officers are currently checking CCTV in the area in an effort to trace its movements and specialist officers will carry out forensic tests on the car."
The detective said that additional officers were on patrol in the Tradeston and Kinning Park areas of the city, close to where the shooting happened.
He added: "I would urge anyone with information or any concerns at all, to speak to them there.
"A major inquiry has been set up by Greater Glasgow Division and the major investigations team and other specialist resources from across the country."
Police closed Shields Road between St Andrews Drive and Scotland Street for much of Wednesday, and also closed Scotland Street between Shields Road and Carnoustie Street.
Passengers for the subway were not allowed access to the Shields Road station but were permitted to exit the station.
Operators SPT advised passengers to use the West Street, Kinning Park or Bridge Street stations instead.
The multi-storey car park near the station was also closed.


At least 15 people have been killed in a suicide car bomb attack on a police checkpoint in Iraq's capital Baghdad, officials say.

They say more than 40 people were injured when the bomber detonated the vehicle - an oil tanker laden with explosives - at the checkpoint in the south of the capital.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
So-called Islamic State has recently carried out similar attacks in Iraq.
Wednesday's attack comes as Iraq forces are continuing a major offensive to recapture the city of Mosul - the last IS urban stronghold in the country.
Supported by US-led coalition air strikes and military advisers, the Iraqi army has managed to retake large parts of the northern city and its surrounding area.


Robert Kubica's comeback to Formula 1 from life-changing injuries moved a step closer after a second test for Renault on Wednesday.

The test at France's Paul Ricard track was aimed at evaluating whether the Pole can make a comeback despite having only partial movement in his right arm.
The 32-year-old completed 90 trouble-free laps, with a Renault spokesman saying that he performed "completely".
Kubica told L'Equipe newspaper a return would present "physically, no problem".
He added that it was too early to say whether he could make a full comeback from the injuries suffered in a rallying accident in February 2011.
Kubica's run at the track in the south of France was his second test for Renault in two months.
An initial test in Valencia last month was said to be a "one off" but he impressed sufficiently that the team scheduled a second run "to assess his capabilities to return to the highest level of competition".
Kubica, who won the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix for BMW Sauber, was regarded as one of the fastest drivers in F1 before his career was cut short before his second season with Renault.
"It is necessary to go step by step," he told L'Equipe, the only media outlet allowed into the test.
"I have come a long way. Don't forget that. My doubts about my capacities have disappeared with these two days of tests. I am no longer afraid of not being at the level but there remains a way to go."
Media playback is not supported on this device
The main questions over Kubica's ability to make a comeback surround whether he has sufficient movement in his right arm and hand.
Can he negotiate the tightest corners? Do the atrophied muscles in the limb have enough strength?
Kubica insisted his left hand could "compensate" for the weakness in his right and that his "physical limitations do not influence my driving".
He added: "I am doing everything to maximise my chances. But I don't know what will happen in the future. I don't want to come back for nothing. I want to return at a high level.
"I have not yet driven a current F1 car. I could not be ready for Silverstone [this weekend's British Grand Prix]. It would take me two days of tests in a current car. That would accelerate my chances 1,000%."
Renault F1 managing director Cyril Abiteboul said it was "too early to say" and that plenty more testing would need to be done to assess Kubica's fitness.
A run in a 2017 car could come in the official F1 two-day test at the Hungaroring on 1-2 August - the Tuesday and Wednesday after the Hungarian Grand Prix - but Abiteboul said it was "too early to say if Robert will be with us in Budapest".
He added: "He has so far only driven an old car, with a detuned engine, with demonstration tyres. He has not been submitted to the stresses of a race nor run with other cars."


There has been a mixed reaction to Facebook's changes to its Messenger service, announced this week.

In the next few days it will phase out the Other inbox, where members currently receive messages from people they are not Facebook friends with.
Some members have expressed concern about harassment and spam gaining increased visibility.
Facebook users who run groups are also affected as they often communicate with group members who are not friends.
Once the phasing is complete, all messages from people outside of a member's friend network will arrive as "requests" which the recipient can accept or reject.
The messages will however arrive automatically if the sender is not a Facebook friend but stored as a contact in the recipient's mobile device - as long as the service is synced.
Many of the platform's 1.5 billion users weren't even aware of the extra inbox, which is currently only accessible by logging on to Facebook via a browser.
Rebecca Smith from St Albans in the UK is one of the owners of a group for British bloggers, which has over 3,000 members.
She said often members don't see admin messages because they fall into the 'other' folder.
"We message everyone that requests to join. As it's a group for UK bloggers, we have to make sure they're from the UK and also that they aren't going to spam the group," she said.
Ms Smith thinks the Message Requests service will mean more potential members will see this initial correspondence.
"It means our messages won't be missed and people can't claim that they haven't been spoken to," she added.
"Some people keep doing the same things over and over again that we've asked them not to because the messages we send go into their "others" inbox that they don't check."
However, some responses to the announcement about Messenger Requests, made by David Marcus, Facebook's vice president of messaging products, on the social network, have been more cautious.
"This means women will get creepy messages directly in their inbox. They used to be able to ignore them as they went to the others folder," wrote one commenter.
"We truly want to make Messenger the place where you can find and privately connect with anyone you need to reach, but only be reached by the people you want to communicate with," said Mr Marcus.
"Now, the only thing you need to talk to virtually anyone in the world, is their name."
He added that the sender will not be able to see whether their message has been ignored.
In the interests of research I decided to have a quick look at mine.
The majority of messages were ancient event invitations, although nobody has ever berated me for my lack of RSVP.
A few unsolicited comments about my appearance, some kinder than others, then there was the obvious spam and one obligatory request to put $20m in my bank account via Nigeria.
Farewell Other Inbox... I'm not sure I will miss you.


India has set rates for its new Goods and Services Tax (GST) system, its biggest tax reform since independence.

The new rates will range between 5% and 28% depending on the product, with 12% and 18% as the standard.
The long-awaited changes aim to streamline the country's fragmented tax system and transform it into a single market.
Currently, everything sold in India is subject to a multitude of taxes varying from state to state.
Indian businesses have been lobbying for the countrywide tax rates as the reform is expected to reduce costs, particularly for shipping goods across state borders.
The country's finance minister Arun Jaitley described the tax reform as "transformative", telling the BBC it would increase efficiency and tax compliance as well as bringing in additional revenue.
It would also allow a "seamless transfer of goods and services across the country," Mr Jaitley said.
The changes mark a "significant development", said Santosh Dalvi of KPMG in India.
There has been no announcement yet, though, of which products fall into which of the tax categories.
"While one can have some guesswork around the GST rate for some of the products, the devil is in the detail when the final classification list will be released which is the most challenging task for the policy makers," said Mr Dalvi.
According to Mr Jaitley, half of the items in the consumer price index would not be taxed at all to protect the poor.
The index is a basket of consumer goods and services used to measure changing prices and inflation.
A central plank of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's economic agenda, the centralised tax is intended to cut through the red tape and corruption generated by the swathe of state taxes currently in force.
Currently, goods brought for example from the northern city of Haryana to Chennai are taxed in six different states.
With every state deciding its own taxes, it also encourages local protectionism.
Optimistic estimates suggest the changes could bring more than 2% of added economic growth.
India already has overtaken China as the world's fastest growing economy.


A Lanarkshire mobile telecom firm has secured new investment which values the whole company at £300m and opens up funding for a major expansion plan.

Wireless Infrastructure Group (WIG) has agreed to take on board a new shareholder.
Venture capital firm 3i Infrastructure has committed £75m to take a 25% stake in the Bellshill-based firm.
The company builds and operates telecom masts in suburban and rural areas.
Being independent of the major mobile phone operators, it provides capacity which they can pay to share.
Earlier this year, Bellshill-based WIG announced plans to invest £1bn in new UK infrastructure.
That is to be focussed on new, mainly rural locations for masts, as the telecoms regulator requires providers to reduce the 'not-spots' in coverage.
The expansion includes installation of small cells and fibre-optic wiring to boost mobile connections in big buildings and on city streets.
The company also plans to expand in meeting mobile communications demand from rail passengers.
WIG was founded 10 years ago, and now operates 2,000 masts. It has expanded into Ireland and the Netherlands, and plans to expand further into western Europe.
The investment by 3i Infrastructure adds to the shareholding by US-based Wood Creek Capital Management, and the Lanarkshire management team.
Scott Coates, chief executive of WIG, said: "Bringing an established European infrastructure investor on board, alongside our existing North American partner, provides us with the financial capabilities needed to scale up our business through investment in up to £1bn of new infrastructure.
"This will transform our ability to support our customers as they extend network coverage in rural areas and improve capacity in urban centres.
"Independent infrastructure companies like WIG provide a conduit for long term infrastructure investors to support the telecoms industry as it takes on the challenges of expanding the quality and reach of connectivity."


The man hailed as the Jim Morrison of French rock returns to the music scene this week with his first record release since murdering his girlfriend in 2003.

But the long-awaited comeback of Noir Desir frontman Bertrand Cantat, 49, has been overshadowed by fresh allegations over the suicide of another woman in his life.
Kristina Rady, a respected Hungarian arts director and Cantat's wife, hanged herself in 2010 - two-and-a-half years after the singer's release from jail for killing the actress Marie Trintignant in Lithuania.
In a telephone message to her parents left six months earlier, Rady spoke of the psychological and physical violence to which she said Cantat was subjecting her.
She said that "a series of events worse than those of 2003" was taking place; that on several occasions she had narrowly "escaped the very worst"; and that "if anything happened... there would be witnesses to testify".
The couple married in 1997 and had two children. But they separated in 2002 after Cantat started his affair with Marie Trintignant.
After Cantat beat the actress to death in a Vilnius hotel room, Rady stuck by him and gave evidence in court on his behalf. When he was granted conditional release in 2007, they tried to resume their relationship.
But in January 2010, Rady told her parents that she was suffering mental and physical abuse, and feared for her life.
"Everyone thinks he's an icon, and everyone wants the best for him, but then he comes home and does these terrible things to me in front of the family," she said.
Revelations about the telephone recording have led magistrates in Bordeaux to re-open the investigation into Rady's suicide.
Campaigners on behalf of victims of marital violence say there is a clear legal case to answer, and that a prosecution could be brought against Cantat for indirectly causing Rady's suicide.
Further questions over Cantat's return to the spotlight have been raised as a result of a sympathetic interview in Les Inrockuptibles magazine - the first time the singer has spoken in public since the murder.
In the interview Cantat complains of how the "media circus" twisted the events of Vilnius; how "my own story was stolen from me"; and how "my view of events, my testimony was given no space".
"My remorse, my suffering, my sensitivity - it didn't count for anything in the story. I became a caricature. The fact that I love Marie so much - it was wiped. All they wanted was what was sordid.  What was beautiful was hidden," he said.
Asked about the Rady suicide, he said: "My God, it's the same soap opera... the assumptions and the delusional accusations concerning me are unacceptable. It's appalling, disgraceful to have become the symbol of violence against women."
He said he was in touch with Rady's parents, who "recently spent a week with us. It was very warm... People tried to tell them I was a murderer, but they came to see they'd been manipulated."
Yael Mellul, a feminist lawyer who is pushing to have Cantat questioned about Rady's death, said the interview was "unspeakably indecent".
"This is a man who beat a women to death with his bare hands. But in the interview he dares to talk of his love for Marie. He says it's terrible to have been turned into the symbol of violence against women.
"He positions himself as the victim - so it's our fault that his life is so painful. It's a moral inversion that is classic for this kind of perverted personality," she said.
In Le Point news magazine, editor-in-chief Franz-Olivier Giesbert was equally scathing.
"This is not a tale of forgiveness and redemption. It's the story of a narcissistic killer, a master of self-pity.
"Most murderers, after they're released, just want to be forgotten. Not Bertrand Cantat. He needs to show his wounds to the people. He's made a career of it," he wrote.
And Giesbert went further - accusing the "alternative left" establishment of being "incredibly indulgent" towards the singer.
"It's normal. He's a card-carrying member of the politically correct," he said.
Noir Desir was the most influential French band of the late 1980s and 1990s, combining high-pace rock with a strong anti-capitalist message.
"The 1992 album Tostaky was a landmark album in French music. They were the only French group remotely able to capture the energy of bands like Nirvana," said Olivier Nuc, music critic of Le Figaro.
"Cantat was incredibly good-looking. Every girl at university was in love with him. And now he has this terrible image with women. It's the opposite of what he represented before.
"But you can see from the interview that in some ways he still does not understand why people are offended by what he did. Clearly his is a highly narcissistic personality."
The new album - called Horizons - is, according to Nuc, a difficult and painful listen.
"Personally I have no problem with his making music. That's his job. The problem is all the promotion that goes with it. He should have released the record and shut up.
"But on its own terms the record is a success. It's dark, harrowing and depressing. Quite clearly it is translating his feelings into music - which after all is the job of art."


Football Association chairman Greg Clarke's views on gay footballers coming out are "negative and old-fashioned", says Britain's first openly gay rugby league player Keegan Hirst.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Clarke said he "wouldn't recommend" a player coming out "at the moment".
He added they would be "taking a risk" of "vile abuse" and could not yet be offered the "required protection".
A BBC Radio 5 live survey found 8% of football fans would stop watching their team if they signed a gay player.
Clarke told 5 live on Wednesday he stood by his "personal view" that abuse from a "small minority on the terraces" must be solved before any gay footballers come out.
He said the FA needs to "redouble its efforts to provide that safe space", which he hoped to achieve in a "year or two".
But Hirst, 28, who has signed for Super League side Wakefield, told the BBC: "What he said was that he didn't think it was the right time for a footballer to come out, which begs the question: when is the right time?

Hirst's previous club Batley Bulldogs banned a fan in September, for sending homophobic tweets to Hirst and his friend, Coronation Street actor Anthony Cotton.
He added: "Eventually someone is going to take the plunge and I think there are lots of things in place for footballers to get the support they need from the club, supporters' bodies and social media.
"So what he is saying is pretty negative and a bit old-fashioned.
"Maybe if he got out on terraces a bit more and saw what was really going on, he wouldn't make comments like that. "
Last week Clarke told MPs he was "cautious" of encouraging a player to come out because they may suffer "significant abuse" from fans.
He said he was "personally ashamed" that players do not feel safe to come out.
Ex-England winger Chris Waddle agreed with Clarke's view. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live sport, he said: "It's ignorance. You can go to any ground - whether it is 75,000 or 700 - and there are going to be idiots in football. We always know that, so unfortunately, I totally agree, it's not right yet to come out.
"It is just the mentality of the game. I'm not saying it is everyone - it's just a small minority - but until they clean football up, which I don't think will happen, does that player need that sort of abuse? No. I think it will be the last sport where it comes out."
In an online survey of more than 4,000 people commissioned by 5 live's Afternoon Edition and carried out by ComRes, 82% of sports fans said they would have no issue with a gay player playing for their club.
And 47% of all sports fans - 50% of football supporters - say they have heard homophobic abuse at matches, while 71% of football fans said clubs should do more to educate fans about homophobia.
An FA spokesman said it "welcomed the statistics" as a "sense check" on homophobia.
It said it takes "strong action" against anyone found guilty of homophobic, biphobic or transphobic abuse.
Keegan Hirst, who was guest editor on BBC Radio 5 live's Afternoon Edition on Wednesday.
There are 4,000 members of the Professional Footballers' Association. Apparently one in 10 people are gay, so maths dictates that 400 footballers are gay. To have not one come out is a big question. It is the last taboo.
You can get away with homophobia. For racism we have campaigns, such as Kick It Out. Racism is zero tolerance. Homophobia needs to be tackled with the same verve. Prejudice is prejudice.
The by-product of having an openly gay sportsman and woman is becoming a role model for younger people. It is about breaking down stereotypes - all things that leads towards equality in society, not just in sport. You have to remember sport mirrors society.
It is down to the FA. In 2010, the Rugby Football League fined Castleford £40,000 for homophobic abuse at Crusaders winger Gareth Thomas. In rugby league, that money can pay a player's wage for a year.
In football, you are talking millions in relative terms. Suddenly there is a zero-tolerance policy. Money is a big issue and it's a business at the end of the day.

Police made "major failings" while investigating electoral fraud in Tower Hamlets, a London Assembly committee chairman has said.

Steve O'Connell said there was concern the Met Police had not charged former Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur Rahman.
Mr Rahman was forced to step down after an Election Court found him guilty of corrupt and illegal practices.
Police had investigated claims of electoral fraud and malpractice during the local elections of 2014.
Mr Rahman, who became Tower Hamlets' first directly elected mayor in 2010 and was re-elected four years later, has faced no criminal prosecution.
The Met has been contacted for a comment.
Mr O'Connell, chairman of the Assembly's Police and Crime Committee, said: "During our investigation, we, as a committee, have been shocked to uncover major failings by the Metropolitan Police in its ability to investigate allegations of electoral fraud and malpractice."
He said failings included missed files of evidence, missed opportunities to gather witness statements and witnesses who were prepared to give evidence in the election court but were unwilling to do so in criminal proceedings.
He also said a bundle of 27 files sent to the Director of Public Prosecution was not reviewed by the force.
"This is not what we expect from a supposedly world-leading police force," he said.
Mr O'Connell has written to Sophie Linden, deputy mayor for policing and crime, urging her to use her powers to call on Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to look into the activities of officers investigating the election.
He said it was time for "a fresh pair of eyes" to review the activities of the Met.


South Africa opener Stephen Cook scored a career-best 117 as the home side dominated Sri Lanka to reach 351-5 on the third day in Port Elizabeth.

Sri Lanka were bowled out early in the morning for 205, with seamer Vernon Philander finishing with 5-45.
Cook put on century partnerships with Dean Elgar (52) and Hashim Amla (48) as Sri Lanka's bowlers struggled.
Quinton de Kock and Faf du Plessis hit 42 and 41 not out respectively as South Africa closed with a 432-run lead.
Cook and Elgar began South Africa's reply in positive fashion before a lightning storm delayed play for 90 minutes. They put on 116 before Elgar top-edged a delivery to Angelo Matthew at mid-on.
Amla's knock lasted 53 deliveries before he became the 10,000th player in Test history to be dismissed lbw when he was trapped in front by Nuwan Pradeep.


Police are investigating after two cars were set on fire in West Dunbartonshire.

The incident happened in Westwood Quadrant in the Linnvale area of Clydebank at about 23:00 on Wednesday.
Police said a joint investigation with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service had found that the fire was started deliberately.
They described it as a "deliberate and dangerous act", adding that inquiries were at an early stage.


Contentious decisions on African football's television rights and tournament hosting agreements will be reviewed in the coming months, new Confederation of African Football president Ahmad said on Friday.

The possibility of changing the timing of Africa Cup of Nations finals is also on the cards, as well as the qualification process for junior tournaments.
"I will be discussing with as many stake holders as there around African football to come up with the best solution for the problems," Ahmad, who uses only one name, told a media conference in Johannesburg after meeting with presidents of southern Africa's football associations.
The new Caf president, who comes from Madagascar, pulled off an upset triumph over long-term incumbent Issa Hayatou in last month's elections.
Ahmad said he was concerned about a 12-year television deal that Caf signed last year with French-based Lagardere Sports.
"This contract is the subject of a judicial challenge in the Egyptian courts at the moment and it was to protect the integrity of Caf in this issue that the general secretary Hicham (El Amrani) submitted his resignation, which we accepted," he said.
"We will investigate but I am concerned about the length of the contract. I would never sign anything for longer than three years."
Lagardere Sports hold the television and marketing rights over all Caf's major properties and have guaranteed African football a minimum of $1bn (£807m) in income over the next 12 years. Last month's Caf Congress was told this could be more in the region of $1.5bn (£1.2bn).
Ahmad said he would also consider switching the hosting of the Nations Cup from January to mid-year and also look at its two-year frequency.
"It is the big stars who make this tournament and I will be talking to them to see how they feel. This is something where we need to consider many different points of view," he said.
African footballers at European clubs are under increasing pressure to forego the tournament because it falls in the middle of their club season.
Ahead of January's finals in Gabon, nine players took the unprecedented step of turning down call-ups to play for the country in order to stay at their clubs.
Ahmad said Caf would also look at regionalising qualification for its Under-20 and Under-17 Championship.


A large amount of cash has been stolen in a daylight bank robbery in Cardiff.

South Wales Police are investigating the robbery at Lloyds Bank on Cowbridge Road East in the Canton area of the city at 12:30 BST on Tuesday.
Officers are trying to trace a suspect captured on CCTV cameras within the bank.
The man is described as 50-60 years of age, 5ft 9ins (1.75m) to 6ft (1.82m) tall with black hair that is greying. He was wearing black clothing.
Detective Sergeant Andy Miles from Fairwater CID said: "The CCTV is clear and I am confident that members of the public will know his identity.
"I can confirm there have been no reports of any injuries as a result of the incident."


Dagenham and Redbridge have signed midfielder Matt Robinson on a two-year deal following his release by Luton.

Robinson left the Hatters in May by mutual consent after agreement to terminate his contract a year early.
The 22-year-old will be reunited with former manager John Still at the Daggers after the pair helped Luton to the National League title in 2014.
Robinson played 30 National League games and scored three goals while on loan at Woking and Grimsby last season.

Oscar-nominated drama The White Ribbon has been named the winner of this year's BBC Four World Cinema award.

Directed by Austria's Michael Haneke, the film tells of mysterious events that befall a rural German village in the years preceding World War I.
Jonathan Ross hosted the event, which saw veteran Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci receive a special award.
Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton was among the audience at the BFI Southbank in London at Thursday's ceremony.
Her film I Am Love was one of the five foreign language films shortlisted for this year's honour.
The others nominated were Swedish vampire thriller Let the Right One In, French crime drama A Prophet and Israeli animation Waltz with Bashir.
Haneke did not travel to London to receive his prize, which was accepted on his behalf by White Ribbon cast member Leonie Benesch.
This year's winner was decided by a panel comprising director Sophie Fiennes, screenwriter Christopher Hampton, Bollywood star Aamir Kahn and novelist Bidisha.
The ceremony will be broadcast on BBC Four on Saturday at 2100 BST.
Speaking after the event, Hampton said he had been impressed by The White Ribbon's "precision" and sense of mystery.
"The real sign for me was that the second time I saw it was more extraordinary than the first time," he told the BBC News website.
Attending the ceremony in a wheelchair, the 70-year-old Bertolucci received a rousing reception as he collected his accolade.
"I'm very grateful and honoured," said the director of Last Tango in Paris and The Last Emperor.
"It is very important for me to collect this quite heavy award," he added, going on to praise the "state of the art ramp" that had enabled him to ascend the podium.


Volvo has announced it is releasing a cyclist detection facility which should prevent fatal accidents.

The auto firm says vehicles fitted with the system will be able to detect threats including a cyclist suddenly swerving out into a car's path.
It said that if a collision risk was detected an alarm would sound and the car's brakes would be fully deployed.
However, safety campaigners say the tech is no replacement for caution behind the wheel.
The Chinese-owned company introduced the feature at the Geneva Motor Show.
The technology is an enhanced version of Volvo's pedestrian detection system which it launched in 2010.
Like the earlier release the innovation uses a radar in the car's grille and a camera located between its windscreen and back view mirror to detect collision threats.
The code which acts as the brains for the equipment has been rewritten to add the new feature, and its added complexity has meant a more powerful processor is now needed.
As a consequence Volvo cars fitted with prior versions of the product cannot simply install a software upgrade.
The firm added that the new system also needed to be installed while cars were being built in the factory - meaning it would have to be ordered up front - and it would be limited to seven out of 11 models in the company's current line-up.
Motorists wanting the feature face an added bill of at least Â£1,850 to buy it as a part of a package of added features.
A Volvo Car UK spokesman told the BBC that the firm's engineers were now working on a fresh version as part of its 2020 programme which would also detect animals.
They have already spent an evening at a safari park where they laid out dried food to attract the creatures which they filmed to study their various behaviours.
"The aim is to avoid collisions with horses and deer for example," said Chris Mullord. "But there's no firm release date yet."
This is not the firm's only effort to protect people outside its vehicles from accidents. In May it will release its first car fitted with an airbag beneath its bonnet which will inflate if sensors in the front bumper detect they have come into contact with a cyclist or pedestrian.
The airbag covers approximately a third of the windscreen and is designed to minimise injury to the victim's head.
According to the UK's Department for Transport, 6,040 pedestrians, 3,270 cyclists and 5,440 motorcyclists were killed or seriously injured on the UK's roads between October 2011 and September 2012.
It said the figures for each category had increased by between 4-8% over the previous year.
British Cycling - the UK's governing body for cycling - said it appreciated Volvo's efforts, but added that they only addressed part of the problem.
"While we obviously welcome any safety measures that can be built into vehicles, people shouldn't be relying on technology to keep them and other road users safe," said a spokeswoman.
"What would make much more of a difference is making cyclist awareness a mandatory part of the driving test. British Cycling will continue to campaign for this as well as the establishment of a prominent, national cyclist awareness campaign similar to that we've seen for motorcyclists."


The science team on the American New Horizons mission to Pluto has released two colour views of the dwarf planet and its biggest moon, Charon.

They were made by combining pictures from the probe’s high-resolution, “black and white” camera, Lorri, and its lower-resolution, colour imager known as Ralph.
The difference in hue between Pluto and Charon is clear.
But what catches the eye are four dark spots on the 2,300km-wide dwarf planet.
Each spot is about 500km across. Quite why they should be so similar in size and spacing is not clear.
Their dominant placing is on the hemisphere that New Horizons will not see during its close flyby on 14 July.
However, there should be ample opportunity to study them in the days leading up to the encounter.
“It’s a real puzzle - we don’t know what the spots are, and we can’t wait to find out,” said New Horizons principal investigator, Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute.
“Also puzzling is the longstanding and dramatic difference in the colours and appearance of Pluto compared to its darker and greyer moon Charon.”
If, as scientists think, Pluto and Charon are the products of a collision between two primitive bodies in the early Solar System, one might expect them to look more similar.
New Horizon’s flyby data will hopefully provide the answer.
The US space agency (Nasa) mission is now closing in on Pluto and its five moons.
The moment of closest approach on the 14th will take place at 11:49 GMT, when the probe is just 12,500km above the surface.
It is moving too fast - at 13.7km/s - to go into orbit, and it will simply scream past the dwarf and its satellites, gathering as much data as it can.
No pictures will be sent back to Earth on the day itself; the spacecraft will be too busy executing its pre-programmed observation campaign.
Instead, the first images from the flyby should be presented on the following day, on 15 July.
Controllers have decided not to alter the course of the probe.
They had been looking for icy debris in the vicinity of Pluto that might pose a collision hazard, but could find nothing obvious.
New Horizons was commanded to make a thruster burn earlier this week, to speed it up ever so slightly.
This will ensure the spacecraft reaches a precise point in space and time to carry out the pre-programmed observation sequence.
The probe must spin around to take pictures of all the different targets, and if its navigation is off by even a small amount it will be looking in the wrong direction at the critical moment.
On Thursday, New Horizons was just under 15 million km from Pluto, but 4.7 billion km from Earth.
The vast distance to the probe's home world means a radio signal takes about 4.5 hours from sending to receipt.
The BBC will be screening a special Sky At Night programme about Pluto on Monday 20 July, which will recap all the big moments from the New Horizons flyby.

Mountain rescue teams have made a fresh effort to trace two hillwalkers who were reported missing after separately heading off for treks in Lochaber.

Kilmarnock-born Eric Cyl, 62, was last seen heading off into the Mamore mountain range near Fort William at the end of May.
Tom Brown, 65, was last seen leaving his Lanarkshire home on 1 July.
RAF and Lochaber mountain rescue teams made searches of Meall Cumhann over the weekend.
Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team said: "We have now covered all potential routes that either of these missing persons could have taken from their last known locations.
"We would ask any walkers in Glen Nevis, Mamores, Grey Corries, Aonach Beag and Carn Dearg areas to keep their eyes open for items of gear and clothing.
"We will keep looking."
The team added: "The family also wish us to pass on their thanks to all the teams/dogs/people who have contributed to the massive effort so far."
Mr Cyl, who was walking alone, was last seen wearing a light grey jacket and dark trousers and was carrying two walking poles.
A rucksack belonging to Mr Brown was found less than a mile east of Steall Falls in the Glen Nevis area on 9 July.
Mr Brown is 5ft 10in and has grey/brown hair.


Blenheim Palace closed early to visitors to facilitate the wedding of celebrities Marvin Humes from JLS and Rochelle Wiseman from The Saturdays.

The couple tied the knot at the Oxfordshire palace on Friday.
The building, courtyards and formal gardens at the palace, classed as a World Heritage Site, had to close early ahead of the wedding.
The couple got engaged in December 2010 during a holiday on the Caribbean island of Antigua.
A notice warned visitors of the closure saying it was due to a "large private event".
"The park, the new east courtyard facility and the pleasure gardens will be open until 6.00pm as normal" it stated.
Mr Humes, 27, found fame in JLS when they came second on The X Factor in 2008. They have had five UK number one singles, including Everybody in Love.
They also performed the 2012 BBC Sport Relief song, Proud.
The Saturdays' hits include Just Can't Get Enough, a cover of the Depeche Mode song.
Miss Wiseman, 23, was previously a member of S Club Juniors.
Blenheim Palace was a gift from Queen Anne to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, following his victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704.
It was also the birthplace of Winston Churchill in 1874.
