Crime in Kent increased despite the introduction of a new police computer system designed to predict where it was likely to happen, a report has found.

Some officers did not understand how the software worked while others did not have enough time to use the technology properly, Kent Police said.
It was introduced across the county in April 2013 after a four-month trial in Medway saw street violence fall by 6%.
Kent Police said it has now changed the way the Â£130,000 system is used.
The "predictive policing" project, based on software pioneered in Los Angeles, was approved by the now-abolished Kent Police Authority.
It uses past trends and current information to predict when and where crime is likely to happen.
In the first year of its operation, ending in April 2014, overall rates of recorded crime actually went up in the county.
Deputy Chief Constable Paul Brandon said "predictive policing" had been introduced at the same time as a study by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Police Constabulary (HMIC) found only 90% of crime was accurately recorded by Kent Police.
"We invested a lot of time to increase that up to 96% and by doing so we saw a lot more crime on the books," he explained.
Mr Brandon did acknowledge that the new computer system had not been used as efficiently as it could have been.
"We weren't perhaps getting as many officers and staff and other agencies into the areas that were identified as the zones to police as we had hoped.
"We have narrowed the numbers of areas to patrol and increased the number of patrol hours in those areas.
"Where we have done that, some of the early results are all positive."


A military jury has sentenced a former US Army psychiatrist to die by lethal injection for killing 13 soldiers and wounding 32 at a Texas Army base.

Maj Nidal Hasan, 42, was convicted last week of the November 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
The defendant had tried to admit his guilt but military law bans guilty pleas in death penalty cases.
The Virginia-born Muslim said he opened fire to protect Taliban insurgents from troops about to deploy to Afghanistan.
By Alastair LeitheadBBC News, Los Angeles
Maj Nidal Hasan sat in his wheelchair and gave no reaction to the death sentence.
The Army psychiatrist had listened to the prosecutor go through the personal stories of each of the 13 people he killed.
He had seen their photographs as the jury heard about the impact his actions had on the parents, widows and children left behind.
The prosecutor described the way each family member of each soldier killed was visited by "two soldiers in Class A uniforms" knocking on the front door with death notifications.
Hasan shut his eyes occasionally, rubbed his unkempt and greying beard, and held his head in the one hand he is still able to use after being paralysed by the shots which stopped his shooting rampage.
And he again declined his final opportunity to offer an explanation for what he did.
The jury handed down its sentence after two hours of deliberations on Wednesday.
But it could be years, possibly decades, before Maj Hasan is executed because of the long appeals process in the military justice system.
His execution must eventually be authorised by the president.
On Wednesday before the sentence was handed down, prosecutor Col Mike Mulligan urged jurors to opt for a rare military death penalty.
"He will not now and he will never be a martyr," Col Mulligan said of Maj Hasan. "He is a criminal. He is a cold-blooded murderer."
"This is not his gift to God. This is his debt to society. This is the cost of his murderous rampage."
"He will never be a martyr because he has nothing to give," Col Mulligan added. "He will not be giving his life, we will be taking it."
Maj Hasan, who represented himself, declined to speak on his own behalf, saying only: "I have no closing statement."
The 13-member jury had to reach unanimous agreement in order to sentence Maj Hasan to death, otherwise he would have faced life in prison.
The US military has not executed a service member since 1961. There are five inmates on the US military's death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, all at various stages of the appeals process.
Maj Hasan opened fire at a medical facility on the Fort Hood base where soldiers were being evaluated before deploying overseas.
The jury heard he had prepared carefully for the attack, during which he fired 146 bullets.
The shooting spree ended when he was shot by a civilian police officer.
He was paralysed from the waist down and now uses a wheelchair.


South African businessman and former political prisoner Tokyo Sexwale is to run for the presidency of world football's governing body Fifa, a spokesman said on Saturday.

Sexwale, who confirmed his candidacy two days before the deadline for registrations, is the third African candidate to declare his bid to replace the outgoing Sepp Blatter.
Former Nigeria international Segun Odegbami has also declared an interest, as has Musa Bility, the head of Liberia's Football Association.
"He is South Africa's candidate and we hope he will be all of Africa's candidate," spokesman Peter Paul Ngwenya told the Reuters news agency.
A close friend of the late former South African president Nelson Mandela, the pair having spent 13 years together at the Robben Island prison, Sexwale was a member of the African National Congress and a post-apartheid government minister before moving into business.
The South African Football Association (Safa) said it fully supported Sexwale's bid.
"It was a unanimous decision and we will now move to engage Caf [Confederation of African Football] on our decision and see how we can coordinate our decisions going forward," said Safa President, Dr Danny Jordaan.
"We will also engage various other federations together with Mr Sexwale to enlist their support because his victory will usher in a new era not only for the continent but the entire world," Dr Jordaan added.
Four other candidates say they have submitted nominations for the election which will take place on 26 February 2016.
Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan, former Trinidad and Tobago midfielder David Nakhid, ex-Fifa official Jerome Champagne and Michel Platini, president of European Football's ruling body UEFA, also say they have submitted their papers.
Platini is currently suspended, along with Sepp Blatter, pending a Fifa ethics investigation.
Their suspensions earlier this month were the latest twists in Fifa's worst crisis in its 111-year history.
Swiss authorities are also investigating the decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively while the U.S. Department of Justice has indicted 14 football officials and sports marketing executives on a series of corruption charges.

The on-loan Motherwell midfielder's left-foot shot from outside the box gave Queens the lead.
Christian Nade struck to bring the Sons level, following in after Andy Stirling hit the goal frame.
But Thomas netted his third goal in two games, firing in on the rebound after Joe Thomson's shot had come back off the crossbar.

Print sales have been declining for several years as readers find their content online - but now, something unusual is happening.

When was the last time you bought a magazine?
The answer is likely to depend on whether you prefer reading about Theresa May or Taylor Swift.
Magazine sales have generally been falling since the day the inventor of the internet said: "Hey, why don't I invent the internet?"
But the latest ABC figures, released this week, show that sales of certain titles are actually going up.
News and current affairs magazines are becoming more popular - but celebrity, gossip and fashion publications are still struggling.
It's a trend that Sarah Penny, editor of Fashion Monitor, puts down to the news agenda.
"I think that we can all agree that the past 18 months have been pretty tumultuous within current affairs," she says.
"With the likes of Brexit and Trump's election, the unsettled nature of society drives readers to seek out factual news and understand the effects on the economy for themselves from reputable titles that have an authoritative voice."
The titles that seem to be benefiting from this Trump bump include The Economist and The Spectator.
Between January and June this year both sold more per issue than they did in the same period in 2016.
Take a look at some celebrity, gossip and fashion titles, and the opposite is true.
Also losing sales: Star (down 14.3%) Vanity Fair (10%), Marie Claire (6%), OK! (3.5%) and Vogue (3%).
In the early noughties Heat magazine was an absolute bible for showbiz news junkies looking for their fix of Big Brother and Britney Spears.
But these days it's more about Kylie and Kendall - and they tend to use Instagram rather than ink to connect with their fans.
"Gossip and celebrity tittle-tattle is rarely something that requires detailed analysis - so it's best suited to bite-sized content that zips around on social media," says Ian Burrell, media columnist for the i paper and The Drum.
"Once it's out there, it's quickly shared and readers move on to the next morsel. No-one wants to wait a week to read about it in a print magazine."
Penny adds: "With the competition from digital media, vlogs, blogs and podcasts, readers are finding that their thirst for the content covered in the celebrity weeklies can be satisfied elsewhere for free and with ease online."
The way some quality newspapers and magazines have been able to survive in recent years is by introducing paywalls on their online content.
Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, wrote this week: "A big change is taking place in the market. There's now too much writing online, and in an era of fake news, where you get your analysis from has never been more important."
"As newspapers and magazines are finding out, if you can publish writing that is consistently and significantly better than what can be found online, people will pay."
But many editors are struggling to strike the right balance between physical and digital content.
They are faced with the choice of either posting all their articles online for free so the magazine stays relevant, or charging readers money to protect the financial future of the brand.
Earlier this week - Vogue marked its 125th anniversary issue with a new interview and photo shoot with Jennifer Lawrence - one of the top film stars in the world.
Sounds like a good read, right? But the whole interview was also posted online by the magazine, removing any incentive for a fan to buy a paper copy.
"When you have major free news sites - such as Mail Online, The Sun and the Daily Mirror - pumping out celebrity and entertainment words, video and entire photo shoots around the clock, it's hard to see how a magazine is going to find it easy to charge readers for something that's likely to be offering stale news and limited pictures," Burrell says.
"At best, a celeb mag will be bought as a treat for the reader, which makes it a dispensable purchase in comparison to the high-quality news analysis publication providing information that its readers regard as valuable and essential."
Both Private Eye and The Spectator are seeing their circulation levels reach record highs - albeit aided by the way subscribers of both formats are counted twice - a trend they probably didn't predict when they launched their websites.
But as Burrell points out: "Many readers are hungry for a deeper understanding of the fast-moving changes in global news and politics rather than seeking to escape from it by burying their heads in celebrity gossip and entertainment stories."
Serious times call for serious journalism, and an extraordinarily frantic news agenda over the past year - with Brexit, Trump, a snap election, terror attacks and Grenfell Tower - has driven sales boosts for upmarket titles.
This is because their intelligent take on events is a unique selling point. Whereas general-interest daily news has been turned into an almost universally available commodity by the internet, specialist journalism - from the unforgiving wit of Private Eye to the proud wonkery of Prospect - is still a service people value and think they can't get elsewhere.
The internet is full of celebrity drivel, so print magazines who focus on the rich and famous will need to find something unique if they are to retain paying audiences.
That something is what editors are paid to conjure up.

Ireland look unlikely to appeal against CJ Stander's ban from Saturday's second Test against South Africa.

The Irish are unhappy they have yet to receive the written judgement of disciplinary officer Terry Willis after Stander's first Test red card.
"It's probably a situation where it's probably a little bit too late already [to appeal]," said Ireland skills coach Richie Murphy on Tuesday.
"We're in a situation where we're halfway through the training week."
Stander was sent off midway through the first half in Cape Town after he collided with Pat Lambie and caught the fly-half's head with his hip.
However, Joe Schmidt's Irish side regrouped from the setback to earn their first ever win over the Springboks on South African soil as they clinched a 26-20 victory.
"CJ obviously hasn't been training with the team," added Murphy.
"The process that he's gone through over the last three days has just taken forever. It's been very slow. So that's something that's probably gone against CJ at this stage."
The Irish also have to weigh up the risk of an unsuccessful appeal potentially resulting in an increased ban for the South African-born flanker.
Murphy hinted that Leinster's Rhys Ruddock is likely to be Stander's replacement at Ellis Park this weekend.
"Rhys Ruddock has had a really good season this year," said the Ireland skills coach.
Murphy is expecting the Springboks to significantly improve their display in Johannesburg after their error-ridden performance at Newlands.
"At times we were a little bit lucky at the weekend. South Africa knocked one or two balls on, got stripped once or twice in our 22," said Murphy.
"I think we need to park that now and move on to this week's challenge."
Ireland will clinch the series if they win in Johannesburg on Saturday ahead of the final Test in Port Elizabeth on 25 June.


A statuette which Greek archaeologists are calling a "7,000-year-old enigma" has gone on show in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.

The bird-like object was carved from granite - without the benefit of metal tools, as it dates from the Final Neolithic period.
The 36cm (14in) statuette has a pointed nose, round belly and cylindrical legs.
But it has mystified archaeologists, who do not know exactly what it is or where it came from.
The museum says the figure is asexual, with no sign of breasts or genitals.
But it says it is difficult to say whether that is a result of the challenge of carving granite without metal tools, or whether it was deliberate and could tell us something about the place of gender in Neolithic society.
The piece is on display until 26 March as part of the Unseen Museum display, a temporary exhibition of some 200,000 antiquities held in the museum vaults and not on permanent show.


Leicester's universities are hoping that Leicester City's fairytale success in football could also bring them a happy ending, in terms of raising their global profile and attracting overseas students.

Will it mean being able to stop explaining to non-English speakers how to pronounce "Leicester"?
And could top-scoring Jamie Vardy find himself sitting next to a vice chancellor on a flight to a Champions League match next season?
The Premier League has few rivals in terms of a global following, with matches televised to an audience of three billion people.
Even in the most remote village in China or sub-Saharan Africa, you can see children in a Chelsea or Manchester United football shirt.
And Leicester's two universities - the University of Leicester and De Montfort University - will want to tap into the Premier League's global fanbase.
The manner in which Leicester won the league - against all expectations - makes it even more likely that global fans will be aware of their triumph.
This name recognition makes it easier for universities to start conversations with prospective students and donors.
"It doesn't matter where in the world I go, whenever people see my name badge you can guarantee they will be desperately keen to speak about the team," says Leicester University's president and vice chancellor Paul Boyle.
Professor Boyle expects an increase in applications this year and De Montfort University is already claiming a 60% rise.

At the other end of the premiership table, the University East Anglia is concerned that Norwich City's possible relegation might hit their student recruitment for next year.
Vice chancellor David Richardson says the football team's premiership status has helped the "international profile" of the university and the city.
The Premier League is very popular in China, home to the biggest number of international students at Leicester University and the world's biggest market for overseas students.
This gives universities which share a name with a popular Premier League club an edge in the competition for Chinese students.
"In the past, I had to tell people we were 45 miles south of Sherwood Forest which they knew because of Robin Hood," says Christopher Shaw, Leicester's assistant director of fundraising and alumni relations. "Now we have to do less work to explain who and where we are."
Professor Boyle says images of his students celebrating the team's success have been shared around the world on social media and give a positive impression of student life at the university.
The university held a "back the Blues" event in which a conga line of excited students and staff snaked around the campus and the football club's logo was painted onto the car park.
This week, De Montfort University students will celebrate with Leicester's players as the trophy is paraded on campus.
These scenes are reminiscent of the "game day" phenomenon at colleges in the US, where crowds of students celebrate the university team in the quad, accompanied by marching bands and cheerleaders.
These are major events on colleges' social calendars, and are used for recruitment and fundraising.
Professor Boyle, who studied in Colorado for a year, says he recognises the comparison but notes UK universities have a long way to go to match the role of sport in US higher education.
"The sporting culture there is much more advanced and that is not something we are going to be able to recreate overnight, but there is no question that sports teams and facilities can be an asset for universities," he says.
Other universities have forged links with their local clubs.
In Germany, the Technical University of Munich says Bayern Munich's international profile has helped to "export the brand of Munich into China" and the university provides medical support for the club's junior players.
Leicester's universities are now looking to strengthen their links with the Foxes.
De Montfort University teaches English to Leicester's international players - Japanese player Shinji Okazaki passed an English exam three weeks before Leicester sealed the title.
The university now plans to send 100 students to intern at the club and open a recruiting office in Thailand with the help of the owner's company King Power Group.
The university's student football teams will even accompany the club on its pre-season tours of Barcelona and Los Angeles.
Leicester University gave the club's owner an honorary degree in January and hopes to develop its relationship with the club over the next year.
Dr Tim Westlake, director of student experience at Manchester University, says his university has benefited from accompanying Manchester United on pre-season tours in south-east Asia, where they hold alumni and recruitment events.
But he warns the football connection should only be the start of universities' conversations with prospective students - and that choosing the right course is more important.
So as Leicester City's management makes plans for next season, university administrators will also be hard at work over the summer.
They might be in a race against time, if Leicester University's fundraiser Christopher Shaw is to be believed.
Looking out at the King Power Stadium from his desk, the 49-year-long fan of Leicester City says he has been through "a lot of suffering" following the team.
"This is Leicester City, it would not surprise me if we were relegated next year," he says.


Tributes have been paid to a police officer from Saintfield who died after she came off her horse.

Constable Claire Lowe, 39, died on Wednesday on the Moss Road near Ballygowan.
She is believed to have been riding with a local hunt.
The incident has been described as a "freak hunting accident", although the cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
Lisburn and Castlereagh City District Commander Supt Sean Wright paid tribute to an experienced and professional police officer with six years' service, who "was in the prime of her life".
"We all knew of her love for horses and for her sport but we also knew her for being a committed police officer who found challenge and reward in serving the local community and in keeping people safe," he said.
"She will be very much missed by all of us and her loss will be deeply felt for a long time to come.
"Our thoughts are with Claire's family and friends at this tragic and difficult time," he added.


A 12-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl in Stirling have been taken to hospital after taking an "illicit substance", police have said.

Officers were called to the Cornton area of the city at about 21:45 on Friday after reports that two children had become unwell.
The pair were both taken to hospital where they are being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
A man has been arrested and charged over the incident.
Police Scotland has now issued a drugs warning as officers believe they suffered an "adverse reaction".
Chief Inspector Damian Armstrong said: "This incident is very concerning and highlights the dangers of taking illegal drugs.
"I would urge members of the public to be aware of the dangers of illegal drug use and advise anyone who has taken drugs and feels unwell to seek urgent medical advice.
"Additionally I would ask anyone with information that can assist us with our ongoing investigation to please get in touch."


The number of abortion pills being bought online in Britain is increasing, data shown to the Victoria Derbyshire programme suggests.

Government figures show 375 doses, sent to addresses in England, Wales, and Scotland, were seized in 2016, compared with just five in 2013.
Taking the pills while pregnant without medical approval is illegal in the UK.
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service said as awareness of the online pills increased, more women were using them.
The figures, from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) - which regulates medicines in the UK - show there were 375 pills seized last year, up from 270 in 2015 and 180 in 2014.
The seizures were made during the MHRA's annual week-long raids, known as Operation Pangea, at places like postal hubs where foreign post is kept before being distributed to local post offices.
NHS abortion treatment is free and widely available in Britain, but remains mostly illegal in Northern Ireland.
However, the UK currently has the harshest punishment for self-induced abortion of any country in Europe, bar the Republic of Ireland.
Under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, anyone taking the pills could, in theory, be punished with a life sentence - no matter what the gestational period.
Two women have been jailed for using the abortion pill bought online in the UK.
In 2012, 40-year-old Sarah Catt was jailed for eight years for terminating her pregnancy with pills she had bought online when she was 39 weeks pregnant.
Natalie Towers, 26, was sentenced to two-and-a half-years in 2015 after using the pill to terminate her pregnancy while she was between 32 and 34 weeks pregnant.
Bpas and other women's groups are supporting a bill, proposed by Labour MP Diana Johnson, to be debated in the House of Commons next month, which seeks to decriminalise abortion.
Some women have revealed why they were driven to using abortion pills purchased online.
"I was hoping to have a termination in the comfort of my own home without judgmental eyes and without worrying about my husband knowing. I fear what would happen if he did," one woman said.
"I have three children and my third is 11 months old. I considered an abortion when he was conceived and had a terrible pregnancy and [I am] still suffering from post natal depression."
Another, a foreign student living in the UK, said she felt "desperate".
"I cannot afford this country's prices of procedure, and the place in line for supported abortions is just too long and not guaranteed.
"I feel absolutely horrible and desperate."
Clara Watson, education officer for the charity Life, said the promotion of buying abortion pills online was dangerous.
"Some women aren't suitable for the abortion pill and may suffer from blood clots, there may be other underlying health issues, they may not know how far along they are. It's too risky," she said.
Ann Furedi, Bpas chief executive, said women who bought the pills were often "desperate" and in "difficult circumstances".
"At Bpas, we do all that we can to make abortion services as accessible as possible. However, it is clear that for some women the barriers to clinic-based treatment feel insurmountable," she said.
"They are not criminals deserving of life imprisonment. Evidence suggests that as awareness of online abortion pills is increasing, so too are the numbers of women using these methods."
She said women should not face criminal punishment.
"Fifty years after the 1967 Act was passed, it is time to bring women's reproductive healthcare into the 21st Century and remove abortion from the criminal law," she added.
"By doing so we would remove the clinically unnecessary legal barriers to treatment."
She also urged women in need of advice or help to contact Bpas.

On 13 March, Labour MP Ms Johnson is proposing a Ten Minute Rule Bill that would repeal the relevant sections of the Offences Against the Person Act and decriminalise abortion.
This is the first piece of pro-choice legislation to be debated in the House of Commons since the 1967 Abortion Act and if it became law, it would protect women who use online abortion pills from criminal sanction.
The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 GMT on BBC Two and the BBC News channel.


The UK's only female polar bear has been allowed into her new enclosure for the first time.

Victoria has been introduced to the Highland Wildlife Park as a potential mate for Arktos, who lives there with fellow male Walker.
Her presence at the Kingussie park has sparked hopes it may see the birth of a polar bear cub in the future.
Her custom-built enclosure features a pond and soft areas of ground, as well as space for her to explore.
Victoria's enclosure is completely separate from that of the males, mimicking the behaviour of polar bears in the wild who only come together to mate.
The female bear arrived from Aalborg Zoo in Denmark on 25 March. She was born in December 1996 at Rostock Zoo in Germany.


Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, famed for their legal dispute with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, have unveiled plans to float a Bitcoin trust.

The Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust will initially sell $20m (Â£13m) worth of shares to investors, according to a filing with the US regulators.
The twins are among the key backers of Bitcoin, a virtual currency traded independently of monetary authorities.
Its value jumped earlier this year, but has been highly volatile.
In January its value surged from $15 for each Bitcoin, to a high of $260 on 10 April, before crashing.
Bitcoins are now trading at a price of about $90 each.
Like other currencies, Bitcoins are used to buy goods and services, with companies selling anything from software to online dating accepting it as payment.
The currency is created by the application of a mathematical formula in a process known as "Bitcoin mining".
A key feature of Bitcoins is that their supply can never exceed a certain number - 21 million - which has led some to speculate that their value may rise further.
In their filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the twins said that shares in the trust were "designed for investors seeking a cost-effective and convenient means to gain exposure to Bitcoins with minimal credit risk".
The trust fund is to be listed on an as-yet-undetermined exchange - such as Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange.
The value of the fund is expected to track closely the value of the underlying Bitcoins in which it will be invested.
But - unlike with Bitcoins - the intention is that investors will be able to sell shares in the trust fund short, in effect allowing them to speculate that the value of Bitcoins will fall.
Earlier this year, the Winklevoss twins had told the New York Times that they owned about $11m of the virtual coins - about 1% of the global supply.
They have set up Math-Based Asset Services LLC which will be the sponsor of the trust.
The SEC filing warned that as "the sponsor and its management have no history of operating an investment vehicle like the Trust, their experience may be inadequate or unsuitable to manage the Trust".


A vicar has resigned after an investigation found he had 'sexual contact' with a schoolgirl.

Simon Sayers, of the Warblington with Emsworth parish, Hampshire, was arrested over an allegation of indecent assault, in London in the 1990s.
Police did not charge him, but an internal church investigation found his behaviour with the 16-year-old abused his position of trust.
He has been banned from ministry for five years by the Church of England.
The Metropolitan Police arrested the vicar in January 2015 after it was informed of alleged offences that took place in the Islington area when he was in parish ministry there in 1995.
Because of the 2015 police investigation he was suspended from the Church of England, but in April 2015 he was told by police he would face no further action.
However, a complaint was made to the Church that same month, prompting it to carry out its own investigation.
At its conclusion, the Bishop of London, the Right Reverend Richard Chartres, found the vicar "engaged in conduct unbecoming a clergy person and inappropriate for a married man" and prohibited him from ministry for five years.
Mr Sayers resigned from his post in London in 1995 after what he described as a "brief 'above the waist' incident of a sexual nature, with someone over the age of consent, and a brief kiss two days later".
He later became rector at the churches of Warblington with Emsworth where he served for 12 years.
In a statement, Mr Sayers said: "I have always believed that my behaviour in 1995 was wrong and fell below the high standards required of a Christian leader, and I am deeply sorry for the sadness the incident and its investigation has caused."
A spokesman from the Church of England Diocese of Portsmouth said Mr Sayers had admitted "his part in initiating that sexual contact".
It added: "The bishop's penalty reflects both the seriousness of the Rev Simon Sayers' behaviour on those occasions and of breaching the trust of a young person who had been in his pastoral care for some years.ã€€
"During the legal process, the Bishop of Portsmouth has visited the parish several times to offer his support to parishioners.
"The bishop and his staff have given practical help to the parish, its clergy and officers through this difficult period and will continue to do so."
Parishioners and residents of Emsworth have shown support for Mr Sayers.
When the resignation announcement was made in church on Sunday, several members of the congregation and choir walked out.
Parishioner Norman Peers said: "Yes, the Church has standards but the Church also preaches a message of grace, forgiveness and pastoral care.
"These things seem to be sorely lacking in the heavy-handed response by Church authorities. The hierarchy has turned its back on a much-loved man after years of sacrificial service."


Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to introduce legislation that would give broad legal protection to transgender people across Canada.

The legislation would expand the Canadian Human Rights Act to cover transgender people.
The proposal would also amend the Criminal Code hate speech provisions to include transgender.
"I sincerely believe that in Canada we can and we should do more," Mr Trudeau said on Monday.
The Liberal government said the details of the legislation would be made public on Tuesday.
A similar measure was proposed in the House of Commons in 2011, but failed to pass the Senate.
Amanda Ryan, a transgender activist, told CTV that the move was welcome but largely symbolic because most Canadian provinces have enacted similar protection.
"It will have a strong psychological impact," Ms Ryan said.
The move comes as the issue of transgender rights has risen to prominence in the US.
On Friday in the US, President Barack Obama issued a sweeping order, saying transgender school pupils should be allowed to use toilets or changing rooms that match their gender identity.
A few US states have recently passed laws requiring transgender people to use public toilets that correspond to the sex listed on their birth certificate.
Mr Trudeau made the announcement after receiving the Laurent-McCutcheon Award, which honours advocates for gay rights.
His father, former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, posthumously received the same award in 2005 for de-criminalising homosexuality in 1969.
Mr Trudeau and his Liberal government have campaigned on a platform of expanding gay rights.
He plans to march in the Toronto Gay Pride parade in July, becoming one of the first world leaders to take part in such an event.
On Monday, Mr Trudeau said he would march in Montreal's parade as well.


A man has been charged with murder and a firearms offence following the death of Lee Pettite in Eston.

Christopher Stubbs, 20, from South Bank, appeared at Teesside Magistrates' Court. He was remanded to appear at Teesside Crown Court on 7 March.
Two men, aged 21 and 22, arrested on suspicion of the murder, have been bailed. A third man, aged 22, has been released without charge.
Mr Pettite was found with serious chest injuries in Oakley Walk on Tuesday.
Police said he had staggered a short way.
He died later at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.


A judge has been asked to decide whether life support treatment for a policeman in a coma should be stopped.

Paul Briggs, 43, suffered a brain injury in a crash while he was working at Merseyside Police in July 2015.
His wife Lindsey said treatment should be stopped "given his previously expressed wishes" but doctors treating him suggested a "further period of rehabilitation".
The Court of Protection in London is due to decide in November.
In July, Chelsea Rowe was jailed for a year for hitting Mr Briggs in a head-on collision in Birkenhead as he was riding his motorcycle to a nightshift.
On Tuesday, the Court of Protection - where judges consider issues concerning people lacking mental capacity to take decisions - was told Mr Briggs had been diagnosed as being "in a minimally conscious state" by his doctors at The Walton Centre in Liverpool, and an independent doctor.
In a written statement, a barrister representing the hospital said it believed Mr Briggs required "transfer to a specialist rehabilitation placement" and that he "would benefit from a more socially stimulating environment".
The court also heard from barrister Victoria Butler-Cole, representing Mrs Briggs, that another independent doctor had diagnosed Mr Briggs as "being in a permanent vegetative state".
The policeman, who was an army veteran, had not made any advance decision in writing about what should happen in such circumstances, the court heard.
Solicitor Mathieu Culverhouse, who is also representing Mrs Briggs, said after the hearing that his client believed the withdrawal of treatment was in "Paul's best interests given his previously expressed wishes, his injuries and his current condition and prognosis".
Mrs Briggs, who was not at the hearing, said in a statement: "It is much worse than if he had died at the scene; being unable to grieve as he is still alive, yet with each day becoming less optimistic of his recovery."


Four men have gone on trial in absentia at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) at The Hague, accused of murdering former Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri and 21 others in a huge suicide car bombing in Beirut on 14 February 2005.

The defendants are all linked to the Lebanese Shia Islamist movement, Hezbollah, which has denied any involvement in the attack.
A fifth man has been indicted and his case may be joined to the trial.
Mr Badreddine is the most prominent of the four men charged by the STL in 2011 and is described in the indictment as "overall controller of the operation" to assassinate Hariri. He faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and committing a terrorist act of international homicide with premeditation.
Born in 1961, he is believed to have been a senior figure in Hezbollah's military wing, the Islamic Resistance. He was a cousin and brother-in-law of Imad Mughniyeh, who was chief of the Islamic Resistance until his assassination by car bomb in Damascus in 2008.
Mr Badreddine is reported to have sat on Hezbollah's Shura Council and served as an adviser to the group's secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah. According to one report, a Hezbollah member interrogated by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), is reported to have described Mr Badreddine, an explosives expert, as "more dangerous" than Mughniyeh, who was "his teacher in terrorism". They are alleged to have worked together on the October 1983 bombing of the US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut that killed 241 personnel.
In 1984, a court in Kuwait sentenced a 23-year-old man named Elias Fouad Saab to death after convicting him in connection with the December 1983 suicide car bomb attacks on the US and French embassies there. Mughniyeh is alleged to have organised the hijackings of Kuwaiti airliners, a kidnapping and an attempted assassination of the emir of Kuwait to free Saab and the 16 other Lebanese and Iraqis convicted alongside him. Saab eventually escaped from prison when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. According to STL prosecutors, Elias Fouad Saab is a known alias of Mr Badreddine.
In 2010, STL prosecutors were reported to have been investigating Mr Badreddine. However, then Prime Minister Saad Hariri - the son of Rafik Hariri - is said to have requested that the STL postpone the public identification of Mr Badreddine as a suspect lest it spark unrest.
The STL indictment says analysis of mobile phone records shows that between 1 January 2005 and 14 February 2005, Mr Badreddine was in contact 59 times with Salim Jamil Ayyash. He is alleged to have issued the final authorisation for the attack just under an hour before it happened.
A pre-trial brief submitted by lawyers allocated by the STL says the evidence thus far disclosed does not support a conclusion that Mr Badreddine is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
STL prosecutors allege that Mr Ayyash co-ordinated the assassination team, which conducted surveillance and physically carried out the attack. Like Mr Badreddine, he faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and committing a terrorist act of international homicide with premeditation.
Born in 1963, Mr Ayyash is related to Mr Badreddine through marriage and was also a brother-in-law of Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah's late military chief, according to the indictment. Like the other defendants, Mr Ayyash is described as a Hezbollah "supporter", as prosecutors cannot prove he is a member of the group.
STL prosecutors say communications analysis shows that Mr Ayyash used at least eight phones to communicate with Mr Badreddine, the assassination team and the team behind the false claim of responsibility. The indictment says evidence shows Mr Ayyash and the assassination team observed Hariri on a number of days prior to the attack to learn the routes and movements of his convoy, were involved in the purchase of the van used in the bombing, and were positioned close to the St Georges Hotel shortly before the suicide bomber blew up the van as Hariri's convoy passed by.
The initial pre-trial brief submitted by Mr Ayyash's defence team says it disputes each and every factual and legal allegation made by STL prosecutors, and that they cannot prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Born in 1974 and a former resident of the Hezbollah stronghold  of South Beirut, Mr Oneissi faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and being an accomplice to the felony of international homicide with premeditation.
The STL indictment says Mr Oneissi and his co-defendant, Assad Hassan Sabra, "had the task of preparing the false claim of responsibility" for Hariri's assassination, "which served to identify the wrong people to investigate, in order to shield the conspirators from justice". They are alleged to have joined the conspiracy in December 2004.
Shortly after the bombing, al-Jazeera received a video with a letter attached on which a man named Ahmad Abu Adass falsely claimed to be the suicide bomber on behalf of a fictional Sunni fundamentalist group called "Victory and Jihad in Greater Syria". STL prosecutors say Mr Oneissi and Mr Sabra identified Mr Abu Adass, a Palestinian man they found at a mosque in Beirut, as a suitable stranger to appear in the video. They are alleged to have delivered the video for broadcast and been in regular contact with an intermediary - Hassan Habib Merhi - who spoke to Mr Ayyash several times. Mr Abu Adass has been missing since 16 January 2005, when he allegedly left home to meet Mr Oneissi.
Mr Oneissi's defence team says the case is based on circumstantial evidence and inferences drawn from it.
Born in 1976 and a former resident of South Beirut, Mr Sabra is accused, along with Mr Oneissi, of preparing the false claim of responsibility. Like his co-defendant, he faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and being an accomplice to the felony of international homicide with premeditation.
In their pre-trial brief, Mr Sabra's lawyers took issue with "every legal and factual assertion" contained in the indictment, and said none of the evidence appeared to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.
Born in 1965 and a former South Beirut resident, Mr Merhi was indicted by the STL in June 2013. He faces five charges, including conspiracy aimed at committing a terrorist act and being an accomplice to the felony of international homicide with premeditation.
Mr Merhi is accused of co-ordinating, along with Mr Badreddine, the preparation of the false claim of responsibility and of being in contact with Mr Ayyash in relation to the preparations for the attack.  He is alleged to have co-ordinated the activities of Mr Oneissi and Mr Sabra in order to identify a suitable individual, Ahmad Abu Adass, who would be used to make a false claim for the assassination.


Britain's exit from the European Union could hamper the fight against child poverty, the children's commissioner for Wales has said.

Child poverty has fallen in Wales but Sally Holland said the potential loss of European money could have "negative consequences" on that.
She has called on the Welsh and UK governments to pledge to replace any shortfall.
The UK Government said it was committed to tackling the root causes of poverty.
A person is said to be living in poverty if the household they are in has an income of 60% or less of the median income.
For several years the rate of child poverty in Wales remained at about a third of all children, but last year it fell from 31% to 29%.
Prof Holland believes that work could be undone if the "substantial" amount of European money that goes towards tackling child poverty here is not replaced.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "The first minister has sought a cast iron commitment from the UK government that Wales will not lose a penny of the Â£600m of invaluable funding we currently receive from the EU after the UK's exit takes place."
A UK Government spokesman said: "We're committed to creating a Britain that works for everyone and that means tackling the root causes of poverty."


A French-Vietnamese dissident blogger has been jailed in Vietnam for three years for attempted subversion.

Pham Minh Hoang had written articles that "blackened the image of the country", according to the judge at the trial in Ho Chi Minh City.
Hoang, 56, admitted having joined an opposition group but said his writings were not aimed at overthrowing anyone.
Human rights activists say dozens of government critics in Vietnam have been given long jail terms in recent years.
France's foreign ministry had earlier voiced "serious concern" about Hoang's case.
His family has said he will appeal against the sentence.
His wife, Le Thi Kieu Oanh, said she was "utterly shocked" by the court's decision.
"I am losing hope... but as a wife, I will fight until the very end," she told the BBC's Newshour programme.
Hoang, who was said to have written 33 articles under the pen name Phan Kien Quoc, asked for leniency, saying he did not know he was breaking the law.
"My writings were not aimed at overthrowing anyone," he told the court. "I only pointed out the negative things in society, and I think the country needs to be more democratic."
His lawyer said Hoang was only exercising his right to free speech, and drew from his experience in France "where there is a civilised education environment".
Subversion has become an increasingly common charge brought against democracy activists in Vietnam - resulting in sentences of up to 15 years in prison, says Nga Pham of the BBC's Vietnamese service.
But Hoang received the more lenient jail term of three years for a number of reasons; he is a French citizen, and although he confessed to belonging to the banned opposition group Viet Tan, he said he was not acting under its instruction.
Viet Tan is a California-based pro-democracy group that Vietnam considers a terrorist organisation. The US has said there is no evidence to suggest that Viet Tan is a terrorist group.


A competition to find the world's best teacher is to be launched next year, with a prize of $1m (Â£620,000).

It has been announced by the Varkey Gems Foundation and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, United Arab Emirates vice-president and ruler of Dubai.
The foundation is the charitable arm of an international chain of private schools, which recently published a report into teacher status.
Teachers are the "real agents of change" said Sheikh Al Maktoum.
Details of the competition are expected to be announced early next year - with nominations to be opened at the Global Education and Skills Forum to be held in Dubai in March.
There will be nominations from individual countries and then an international judging process.
The panel of judges will include "former leaders from around the world and prominent members of the community" along with education experts and students.
Former US president Bill Clinton is honorary chairman of the foundation.
The prize, funded by the Varkey Gems Foundation, is intended to recognise the importance of the teaching profession in the same way as the Nobel prize recognises achievement in other fields.
A research project commissioned by the foundation found wide variations in the amount of respect accorded to teachers in different countries.
This index of teacher status found that China held teachers in the highest esteem.
The prize will be intended to raise the profile and public appreciation of teaching.
"We want to promote teachers as stars and to support the quality of education to highlight the enormous impact teachers have on our lives," said Sunny Varkey, founder of the Varkey GEMS Foundation.
"To support education is to support human progress and valuing teachers is to value the real agents of change in society," said  Sheikh Al Maktoum.


A crowd of up to 1,000 people has watched the world's oldest clipper ship leave Scotland for the last time.

A pontoon barge supporting The City of Adelaide was towed from the Scottish Maritime Museum at Irvine on Friday.
The ship has been there since it was salvaged in 1992, after sinking the previous year in Glasgow's River Clyde.
The Adelaide was built in Sunderland in 1864. Its new Australian owners are having it towed to London, where a cargo ship will take it to Adelaide.
The planned start of the journey had been delayed from last week following adverse weather conditions in Ayrshire.
The pontoon supporting The Adelaide is now being towed out into the Irish Sea.
Over the next seven to 10 days, it will travel round the tip of Cornwall and up into the River Thames.
The historic clipper will then be loaded onto a cargo ship for its final journey to Australia.
The City of Adelaide was built on the River Wear to carry people emigrating to southern Australia.
In 1893 it became a hospital ship, but in 1924 was converted into a training ship at Irvine, and renamed HMS Carrick.
In 1991 the ship sank at the Princes Dock, Glasgow, and lay on the bottom of the River Clyde for a year before being raised and taken to Irvine.
For years, it lay rotting on a slipway at the Scottish Maritime Museum, with the cost of repairs put in excess of ??10m.
A rescue campaign mounted by rival consortiums from Adelaide and Sunderland saw the Australian group win the bid for ownership.
It formally took control of the Adelaide two weeks ago.


An alpaca which was seriously injured in a dog attack has been put down, its owner has said.

Oberon was one of three animals mauled by a dog in their field in the eastern part of the New Forest on 22 December.
Owner Susan Sears said she was "devastated" Oberon's wounds had not healed, and, despite further surgery, he was found to be "beyond recovery".
The two other injured animals have received further treatment for their wounds.
Mrs Sears said: "After nearly two weeks of round the clock monitoring and nursing, poor Oberon's wounds were not healing as well as hoped and, despite further surgery, were found to be beyond recovery.
"As alpha male, it is likely that Oberon would have put himself between his herd mates and the attacking dog,"
Another alpaca had also been the victim of a dog attack in the same field earlier last year.
Oberon was part of a herd of about 80 animals which Mrs Sears and her husband have bred for their wool for the past six years.
A crowdfunding appeal to help pay for the animals' treatment raised more than Â£1,900.


Scientists are "very worried" that the melting of the Greenland ice sheet could accelerate and raise sea levels more than expected.

They say warmer conditions are encouraging algae to grow and darken the surface.
Dark ice absorbs more solar radiation than clean white ice so warms up and melts more rapidly.
Currently the Greenland ice sheet is adding up to 1mm a year to the rise in the global average level of the oceans.
It is the largest mass of ice in the northern hemisphere covering an area about seven times the size of the United Kingdom and reaching up to 3km (2 miles) in thickness.
This means that the average sea level would rise around the world by about seven metres, more than 20ft, if it all melted.
That is why Greenland, though remote, is a focus of research which has direct relevance to major coastal cities as far apart as Miami, London and Shanghai and low-lying areas in Bangladesh and parts of Britain.
Algae were first observed on the Greenland ice sheet more than a century ago but until recently its potential impact was ignored. Only in the last few years have researchers started to explore how the microscopically small plants could affect future melting.
A five-year UK research project known as Black and Bloom is under way to investigate the different species of algae and how they might spread, and then to use this knowledge to improve computer projections of future sea level rise.
The possibility of biologically inspired melting was not included in the estimates for sea level rise published by the UN's climate panel, the IPCC, in its latest report in 2013.
That study said the worst-case scenario was a rise of 98cm by the end of the century.
One concern now is that rising temperatures will allow algae to flourish not only on the slopes of the narrow margins of the ice-sheet but also on the flat areas in the far larger interior where melting could happen on a much bigger scale.
We joined the latest phase of research in which scientists set up camp on the ice-sheet to gather accurate measurements of the "albedo" or the amount of solar radiation reflected by the surface.
White snow reflects up to 90% of solar radiation while dark patches of algae will only reflect about 35% or even as little as 1% in the blackest spots.
When we flew by helicopter onto the ice sheet, the rolling landscape seemed surprisingly grey - my first impression was that it looked dirty.
Much of the surface was covered with what looked like patches of soot and it was pockmarked with countless holes at the bottom of which were pitch-black layers of a mix of algae, bacteria and minerals known as cryoconite.
Prof Martyn Tranter of Bristol University, who is leading the project, told me:
"People are very worried about the possibility that the ice sheet might be melting faster and faster in the future.
"We suspect that in a warming climate these dark algae will grow over larger and larger parts of the Greenland ice sheet and it might well be that they will cause more melting and an acceleration of sea level rise.
"Our project is trying to understand just how much melting might occur."
Over the last 20 years, Greenland has been losing more ice than it gains through snowfall in winter - a change in a natural balance that normally keeps the ice-sheet stable.
And one of the project scientists, Dr Andrew Tedstone, a glaciologist and also of Bristol University, said that over much of the same period, images from the MODIS satellite showed a darkening trend with the years of greatest dark producing most meltwater.
He said: "We still don't think we've reached a point where we've seen the maximum darkness that we're going to see in this area so the fieldwork we're doing is to try to find out in a warming climate 'do we think the area is going to get any darker than we've already seen in the last 15 years?'"
Earlier research had found that the ice sheet is covered with a range of contaminants carried on the winds including dust and soot from as far away as Canadian prairie fires and the industrial heartlands of China, America and Europe.
But studies over the past five years have shown that the majority of the dark material may be biological with different kinds of algae turning the ice black, brown, green and even mauve.
"This is a living landscape," according to Dr Joe Cook, a glacial microbiologist at Sheffield University.
"This is an extremely difficult place for anything to live but, as we look around us, all this darkness we can see on the ice surface is living - algae, microbes, living and reproducing in the ice sheet and changing its colour."
"We know they're very widespread and we know that they're very dark and we know that that's accelerating melt but that's not something that's built into any of our climate projections - and that's something that needs to change."
The final phase of the Black and Bloom project involves weaving the new factor of biological darkening into climate models to come up with revised estimates for future sea level rise.
And, as Dr Cook explained, the retreat of the Greenland ice sheet does not need to be total to have a widespread and damaging impact.
"When we say the ice sheet is melting faster, no one saying it's all going to melt in next decade or the next 100 years or even the next 1,000 years but it doesn't all have to melt for more people to be in danger - only a small amount has to melt to threaten millions in coastal communities around world."
Meanwhile, another factor that may be driving the melting has been identified by an Austrian member of the team, Stefan Hofer, a PhD student at Bristol.
In a paper recently published in Science Advances, he analysed satellite imagery and found that over the past 20 years there has been a 15% decrease in cloud cover over Greenland in the summer months.
"It was definitely a 'wow' moment," he told me.
Although temperature is an obvious driver of melting, the paper estimated that two-thirds of additional melting, above the long-term average, was attributable to clearer skies.
What is not known is how this might affect the algae. Their darker pigments are believed to be a protection from ultra violet light - so more sunshine might encourage that process of darkening or prove to be damaging to them.
The Black and Bloom project, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc), aims to publish its new projections for sea level rise in two years' time.

Prop Vadim Cobilas will leave Sale Sharks at the end of the season after he agreed a three-year deal with Bordeaux-Begles.

The 32-year-old joined Sale in 2011 and became the first Moldova international to play in the Premiership.
Cobilas is out of contract in the summer and has decided to move to France's Top 14.
"Vadim's got a great opportunity at his age, so it's a no-brainer for him," said Sale boss Steve Diamond.
President Laurent Marti announced the signing of the forward on their website and he joins Ireland fly-half Ian Madigan in moving to Bordeaux for next season.
Other players who are out of contract this summer have been free to speak to other clubs from 1 January, but Diamond has confirmed he is in advanced talks with David Seymour, Will Addison and Mark Jennings over new deals.
Scrum-half Chris Cusiter is understood to be considering his future, while hooker Tommy Taylor is reportedly a target for Wasps.
"There's no decision made on Tommy at the moment, he's not made his mind up," added Diamond.
Asked about recruitment for next season, he said: "We're actively out there now.
"I'm not in too much of a rush for it as we need to continue what we're doing here and if we lose three or four then we've got to replace them."


The new medical director at NHS Borders has outlined the "huge challenges" facing health services in the region.

Dr Cliff Sharp has replaced Dr Andrew Murray who moved to NHS Forth Valley after about a year in the post.
He said that spending was one of the most difficult areas facing the health board as it looked to deliver about Â£11m in savings this year.
Recruiting and retaining staff was another issue Dr Sharp highlighted as one which needed to be tackled.
"I think there are several huge challenges facing all parts of the health service at the minute," he said.
"One is the financial picture - obviously it is tight - we need to do absolutely the best we possibly can with the money we have got.
"We can't spend money we don't have so we need to work within that - that's just a fact of life as any householder will know."
He said that recruiting and retaining staff was an "ongoing battle" for every health board around the country but the Borders should have advantages over some parts of Scotland.
"It is very much a sellers' market - we have to make the Borders a lovely, attractive place to live and work," he said.
"I think the size and scale that the Borders has - well, if we can't do it, no-one can."


The funeral for a south Wales grandmother killed in a crash along with three teenagers will take place on Tuesday afternoon.

The service for Margaret Elizabeth Challis, 66, from Merthyr Tydfil, is being held at Georgetown Chapel, in the town.
She died in a collision on the A470 near Storey Arms, Brecon, on 6 March.
Her service follows last week's funerals for Alesha O'Connor and Rhodri Miller, both 17 and from Barry.
A funeral for Corey Price, 17,  also from the Vale of Glamorgan town, is on 25 March.


An American man accused of acting in a manner that could have endangered an aircraft after he asked for pre-flight snacks has been found not guilty by a jury at Antrim Crown Court.

Jeremiah Mathis Thede, 42, was on an 11-hour United Airlines flight from Italy to the US on 20 June last year when he asked for crackers before the plane took off.
The United Airlines transatlantic service diverted to Belfast after flight attendants became worried by the behaviour of Mr Thede.
Speaking after the verdict, Mr Thede's solicitor Patrick Madden said: "The prosecution case and the decision to divert the flight was all based on information which is inaccurate from the cabin crew, it was based on speculation, misunderstanding and misinterpretation.
"In fact, there was simply no credible evidence in this case to suggest that Mr Thede had acted in any way to endanger this flight."
The Californian had denied being aggressive towards cabin crew after they refused him pre-flight crackers.
The court had heard that after asking for crackers, the crew claimed he had alarmed passengers with his erratic actions.
But, Mr Thede said it was fair to complain after he was refused the snacks.
The Californian claimed he had never before been denied the free snacks in years of frequent flying.
He said he was down to his last dollars and had eaten only an apple during a delay of several hours at Rome airport at the end of a lengthy trip through Europe.
Mr Thede, from the Alameda in Berkeley, had travelled from London to Rome to meet family and was going home.
When he boarded the aircraft he wanted to sleep but was unable to do so because of hunger, he said.
A senior cabin crew member had warned Mr Thede about his actions before the captain decided to abort the flight.
Mr Thede said he felt the warning "was unnecessary and unwarranted".
The plane had to dump thousands of litres of fuel before making the unscheduled stop at Belfast International Airport.
The 264 passengers had to wait almost 24 hours before the plane could take off again.


India is resisting the push towards driverless cars in order to protect jobs, its transport minister has said.

Nitin Gadkari said the government would "not allow any technology that takes away jobs".
He said India needed to recruit about 22,000 more commercial drivers and would be opening 100 training facilities to address the need.
India's road system and sometimes chaotic traffic makes it a difficult place to develop the technology.
The Hindustan Times reports Mr Gadkari as saying: "We won't allow driverless cars in India. I am very clear on this.
"In a country where you have unemployment, you can't have a technology that ends up taking people's jobs."
However, he did not rule out the idea of a future change of policy.
"Maybe some years down the line we won't be able to ignore it, but as of now, we shouldn't allow it," he added.
Inderpreet Kaur, an analyst at research firm Ovum said: "The ministry has cited job losses as a reason behind banning autonomous cars in India, a bigger challenge would be to have ready infrastructure for these self-driving cars."
Google, BMW, Tesla, Audi and Uber are among businesses working hard to be the first to bring truly autonomous cars on to roads.
Self-drive technology trials, both for private cars and commercial vehicles, are being carried out around the world.
Google has been testing self-drive cars in California and other states since 2012.
Paris began a three-month test of self-driving buses at the beginning of the year, and in the UK a consortium of companies plans to test driverless cars on motorways in 2019, while others are testing cars in off-road sites, including in London.
Commenting on the decision on Twitter, Indian congressman Gaurav Pandhi tweeted: "The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) said the same when Rajiv Gandhi talked about introducing computers to India. They haven't really changed."


Anyone who thought the devolution of corporation tax was mainly a business issue, rather than an intensely political one, can think again.

By linking any move on corporation tax to achieving progress in the inter-party talks, George Osborne has given his cabinet colleague Theresa Villiers something Richard Haass never had when he was talks chair.
In a word, that's leverage. Instead of appealing to the politicians' consciences, Ms Villiers has a rather large carrot to dangle in front of their noses.
Or if they fail to do a deal, the carrot may magically transform into a stick as some parties blame others for passing up on the potential chance of creating 50,000 jobs.
The Osborne test for the local politicians is to show they are "able to manage the financial implications" of devolving corporation tax.
A subsequent question and answer session between Sammy Wilson and the chancellor leaves little doubt that this is code for agreement on welfare reform and balancing next year's budget.
So the parties could do a deal on cutting the number of departments or creating new bodies to deal with the past without reaching the threshold set by the chancellor.
If the politicians do meet the Osborne test, the Westminster government says it will "introduce" legislation before next May's general election.
But with time so tight, introducing a bill does not necessarily mean it will pass into law.
On the face of it, the chancellor's words appear to fall short of the pact agreed by the Northern Ireland Executive and the Westminster government in June 2013 that committed to a "final decision" on corporation tax in the 2014 Autumn Statement and, in the event of a positive decision, a standalone bill "with the aim of it becoming law before the prorogation of Parliament prior to the 2015 General Election".
George Osborne's conditional approach does not seem "unreasonable" so far as First Minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson is concerned.
His statement has also been welcomed by the Ulster Unionists and Alliance.
But the SDLP has objected to being "strong-armed" by the Treasury and Sinn Féin has accused Mr Osborne of demonstrating "breathtaking arrogance".
Sinn Féin says it won't implement Tory welfare policies just to get the power over corporation tax.
If nationalists stick to that line it looks like there won't be a comprehensive deal in the Stormont talks, and the politicians won't get to take a bite out of the chancellor's carrot.


Manchester City Women have signed Republic of Ireland defender Megan Campbell.

The 22-year-old has spent the past three years playing for Florida State University on a sports scholarship.
Campbell, who has won 33 international caps, has previously featured for Irish clubs St Francis and Raheny United.
"Once I got word City were interested, I came straight over and once I did, it was something I knew I'd love to be part of," she told the club website.

Chesterfield set an unwanted club record after being beaten at home by Charlton.

The already-relegated club slumped to a 26th League One defeat of the season through goals from Jake Forster-Caskey and Ricky Holmes.
Reece Mitchell replied in stoppage time for bottom-placed Chesterfield before Forster-Caskey had a penalty saved.
Chesterfield needed a fine save by Thorsten Stuckmann in the 16th minute to keep out a Holmes free-kick from just outside the box.
Joe Rowley almost gave Chesterfield the lead in the 35th minute but two minutes later, Charlton scored when Forster-Caskey was given too much time to fire a 20-yard shot into the bottom-left corner.
Chesterfield should have equalised in the 47th minute when Kristian Dennis robbed Ezri Konsa but blazed over from 12 yards and Charlton took advantage when Holmes' free-kick was deflected past Stuckmann in the 57th minute.
Dennis rattled the bar in the 74th minute and Mitchell converted a rebound before Forster-Caskey's last-gasp penalty was saved after he was fouled by Jon Nolan.
Match report supplied by the Press Association.
Match ends, Chesterfield 1, Charlton Athletic 2.
Second Half ends, Chesterfield 1, Charlton Athletic 2.

A best-selling American author who was stalked by a wedding photographer for seven years after meeting on a flight has said she "forgives him".

Mark Jury, 40, of Llangattock, Powys, "relentlessly" plagued Kristine Carlson and her teenage daughter, Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard.
He admitted two counts of stalking and was jailed for four and a half years.
Widow Mrs Carlson, 52, said: "I hold only forgiveness for Mark Jury and his obsession."
The court heard the California-based author of the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff books began a "living nightmare" when she sat next to Jury on a transatlantic flight from Los Angeles to Heathrow.
The court heard she "showed sympathy for the odd little man" during the ten-hour flight from LAX to London - even giving him one of her books.
But her kindness started a stalking campaign, with Jury bombarding her in California with flowers, chocolates, tweets and thousands of emails.
A court heard Jury targeted the self-help author after a psychic told him he would meet his future mother-in-law on a plane.
But after his advances were shunned, he started to attack her over the internet.
He hacked into Mrs Carlson's social media accounts, downloaded hundreds of pictures of her and her teenage daughter Kenna and even travelled to America in a bid to meet her face-to-face.
Jury then demanded Â£150,000 from Mrs Carlson to stop his campaign.
He was eventually stopped after FBI investigators passed on a file to police in Britain.
Speaking of the sentence, Mrs Carlson said: "We receive no joy that comes in the form of vengeance towards this person.
"It was a peek into the dark side of insanity but it all has a way of working out as I stay in tune to my heart - letting go of fear and filling up with love."
She added: "I kept telling myself over and over I was living with a parasite attached to me and my girls."
Prosecutor Laurence Jones described it as "a relentless campaign" and said Jury was "obsessed and infatuated", attacking "her work, her role as a mother and her business".
After he made it clear he was planning to visit the author and her family, she took her daughter out of school for 10 days and left her home until she was sure Jury had left the country, Mr Jones added.
Judge Richard Twomlow said: "This was a protracted campaign of cyber stalking.
"It caused a deterioration in Kristine Carlson's life and her daughter said she felt like she had been emotionally raped."


Thousands of parents in England plan to keep their children off school for a day next week in protest at tough new national tests, campaigners say.

Parents from the Let Our Kids Be Kids campaign said children as young as six were labelling themselves failures.
In a letter to Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, they said primary pupils were being asked to learn concepts that may be beyond their capability.
The government said the tests should not cause pupils stress.
These new tests, known as Sats, have been drawn up to assess children's grasp of the recently introduced primary school national curriculum, which is widely considered to be harder than the previous one.
The letter from the campaign, which says it represents parents of six and seven-year-olds across the country, says children are crying about going to school.
It also says pupils' mental health is at risk because of the increased pressure they face.
"There are tens of thousands of us, and we have reached the point when it is time for us to speak," the letter to Mrs Morgan says. "We need you to listen."
But it adds: "We're not convinced, based on your track record, that you'll listen to just words so, to make it very clear how strongly we feel, we are also planning a day of action with a Kids' Strike on 3 May, which will see thousands of primary school children staying off school... in protest at the Department for Education's testing policies.
"We want an end to Sats now."
The campaign's website says: "In May, children in Year 2 sit a whole weeks' worth of exams.
"These children are six or seven years old.
"All year, their curriculum has been centred around comprehension and arithmetic in order to pass these tests.
"Outdoor learning has decreased, childhood anxiety has increased, games have been replaced with grammar, playing with punctuation."
Tuesday, May 3, was chosen specifically because it is a non-testing day.
The letter comes a week after the government cancelled its spelling and grammar tests for seven-year-olds, after the BBC News website reported this year's test paper had been accidentally published on a government website.
Let Our Kids Be Kids, being led anonymously to avoid the focus being put on certain localities or schools, says it expects thousands of children to be kept off school as part of the strike.
More than 10,000 people have posted details on Facebook of events they are organising on the day of the boycott, it says.
These include picnics in parks, woodland trails in forests and arts activities in places of local interest.
And a petition on the campaign's website calling for the tests to be scrapped has been signed by 26,000 people.
A DfE spokesman said: "We know mastering the basics of literacy and numeracy at primary school has a huge impact on how well children do at GCSE, which is why we are determined to raise standards.
"We have updated the Key Stage 2 tests to reflect our new, more rigorous curriculum, which will help every child fulfil their potential regardless of their circumstances.
"Tests help teachers identify and provide the support pupils need as well as giving parents a picture of how their child is doing."
Parents can face fines for taking their children out of school without permission.
The campaign has prepared a template letter for those wishing to protest to send to head teachers.


A Dumfries-based Red Cross worker who died in Pakistan was unlawfully killed, a coroner has ruled.

Khalil Dale, 60, was abducted in Quetta in January 2012 and was found dead on a roadside a few months later.
He had been beheaded. A note next to his body said he was killed because a ransom had not been paid.
Mr Dale was born in York but lived in Dumfries. He spent 30 years working in countries including Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
An inquest into his death was held at Chesterfield Coroners Court because he is buried in Derbyshire.
The court heard that the Muslim convert, who was formerly known as Kenneth, worked as a humanitarian assistance relief worker.
Following his abduction, negotiations were undertaken by the International Committee of the Red Cross with the help of the UK government.
His body was found on 29 April 2012.
The inquest was told that he died as a result of decapitation.
Senior coroner Dr Robert Hunter concluded that Mr Dale was unlawfully killed while providing international humanitarian assistance.


A British woman says she is being forced to go to court to get an apology after she was questioned by counter-terrorism police for reading a Syrian art book on a plane.

Faizah Shaheen was reported to authorities by Thomson cabin crew on a honeymoon flight to Turkey in 2016.
Her lawyers told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme she believes she was singled out because of her race.
Thomson said its crew were "trained to report any concerns" as a precaution.
Ms Shaheen - a Muslim, whose work in mental health care in part involves looking for the signs of radicalisation in young people - was reading Syria Speaks: Art and Culture from the Frontline on the outbound flight.
The book is a collection of literature, photos, songs and cartoons from Syrian artists and writers.
She was stopped by police when she returned to the UK two weeks later.
Ms Shaheen and her husband were taken to a room at Doncaster Airport for questioning under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act.
She said the interrogation lasted around 30 minutes, during which she was asked about the book, her work and the number of languages she spoke.
"I felt upset and distressed, followed by anger. I struggled to accept that I was being singled out for reading a book on art and culture," she explained.
"One year on, Thomson Airways has failed to provide an explanation or apology despite legal involvement.
"This attitude has left me with no option but to seek a declaration from the court under the Equality Act."
Ms Shaheen's legal team said it had written to Thomson telling the company it believed she had been a victim of discrimination.
It argued she believes she was singled out because of her race.
Ravi Naik, of ITN solicitors, said that while Thomson had acknowledged its initial communication, it had not responded to its correspondence since January.
"The Equality Act contains strong protections against discriminatory treatment on the basis of someone's race and religion and for good reason," he said.
"We have asked the airline to apologise, to which we have never received a meaningful reply."
Ms Shaheen said she does not desire compensation, but "an apology and explanation from Thomson Airways to ensure that it never happens again".
Jo Glanville, director of English PEN - a British free speech organisation who helped fund the book Ms Shaheen was reading - said Thomson's actions amounted to "a fundamental violation of our liberty, undermining our freedom to read any text we like in a public place".
She added: "Thomson should review its staff training procedures so that such an error never happens again. Reading a book should never be viewed as grounds for suspicious behaviour."
Thomson said in a statement: "We're really sorry if Ms Shaheen remains unhappy with how she feels she was treated.
"We wrote to her to explain that our crew undergo general safety and security awareness training on a regular basis.
"As part of this they are encouraged to be vigilant and share any information or questions with the relevant authorities, who would then act as appropriate."

Crystal Palace manager Frank de Boer said his side need to show more courage after Swansea picked up their first Premier League win of the season with a deserved victory at Selhurst Park.

Tammy Abraham put the away side ahead just before half-time with a low finish after beating Martin Kelly to Leroy Fer's cross, having earlier seen a close-range effort stopped by Wayne Hennessey following Timothy Fosu-Mensah's slip.
Kelly then tamely headed Palace's first effort on target from a corner after the break, before his mistake let Swansea in for their second.
The defender was robbed on the halfway line by Kyle Naughton, whose through ball was finished off by Jordan Ayew.
Yohan Cabaye came off the Palace bench for his first league appearance of the season and might have converted from a one-two with Jason Puncheon had it not been for Mike van der Hoorn's saving challenge, while Andros Townsend shot just wide after Alfie Mawson's sliced clearance with five minutes to go.
Palace have now lost their opening three matches of the Premier League season under new boss Frank de Boer. They have failed to score a single goal, conceding five in two home matches.
Speaking to BBC Sport, De Boer said: "It wasn't until after we were 2-0 down that we showed we really can play.
"It is a very hard lesson for us. We have to show some balls from the first second of the game. If you do not show courage then you get punished," he added.
"In the second half you saw a different Palace - one who creates chances - and with a bit of luck you make one of those. It just wasn't the day for us. Hopefully you will see a different Palace after the international window."
"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes," Mark Twain, author of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is supposed to have said.
Last November Swansea beat Palace 5-4, with an astonishing seven goals scored after the break.
Both teams went into Saturday's game without a goal from their opening two matches of the new league season, but there was only really one side who looked like providing goals and entertainment.
Swansea's front pair of Abraham and Ayew combined dangerously as early as the fourth minute when Ayew headed wide from Abraham's cross, and the away side controlled the entire first half, dominating possession and opening Palace up on several occasions.
After the break Palace did improve slightly and there were a few errors at the back from defender Mawson, but once Ayew punished the home side for Kelly's mistake, the result never looked in doubt.
Swansea manager Paul Clement watched his side beat Palace at Selhurst Park here in January, on the day he was appointed, and this was certainly a happy return.
After James Tomkins was forced off injured in the first half - he appeared to suffer a muscle injury when striking a shot over the bar - Kelly came on to replace him.
It would be harsh to focus too much on one player in a toothless team performance, but the defender found himself at the heart of two key moments that ultimately may have settled the match.

Kelly will rue his missed header, directed straight towards Fabianksi after rising well above the static Mawson at a corner, and moments later the 27-year-old rashly tried to knock the ball past Naughton on the halfway line, a move the Swansea defender easily read.
Ayew was perhaps slightly lucky with his finish - Hennessey rushed out to block with his legs and the rebound fell kindly - but more worrying was the lack of confidence Palace displayed in the few chances they did create when trying to find a way back into the match.
After the game, De Boer spoke of "a lack of courage" from his players, perhaps with the largely anonymous Christian Benteke in mind.
The Chelsea loanee scored Swansea's first goal of the season and looked a real threat up front in combination with Ayew. He had the strength to hold up play, the invention to find others, and displayed a clinical touch to find the net.
Swansea boss Paul Clement, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is hard coming away from home in the Premier League, so four points out of two away games is very positive.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Tammy Abraham and Jordan Ayew took their goals well, they both scored midweek, it's what you want from the strikers. But our offensive play in the second half needed to be much better. We will not get carried away, we have got to get better and improve.
"We played two games away from home and won four points, our home game was against Manchester United. To also go through in the EFL Cup, we can say it has been a decent start to the season.
"For someone who has only been with us only a couple of days, Sam Clucas has settled in well, we are very happy he is here. We have our eye on a couple of transfer targets, we will try and bring in some quality players to be competitive this year."
Palace's next match is in the Premier League on Sunday, 10 September when they travel to Burnley (13:30 BST) after the international break.
Swansea next play at home to Newcastle, also on 10 September (16:00).
Match ends, Crystal Palace 0, Swansea City 2.

Terry Yorath says the Football Association of Wales would be "foolish" not to secure Chris Coleman's future as national team manager.

Coleman's Wales contract ends after Euro 2016 in France in June, their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.
Coleman has said he and the FAW were "apart" during recent talks
Yorath said: "If they got rid of Chris or Chris happened to leave, where would they go?"
The former Swansea and Bradford boss fears the situation between Coleman and the FAW could mirror events surrounding the end of his time as Wales manager.
The FAW and Yorath did not come to an agreement during Wales' 1994 World Cup qualification campaign, and he left the role.
"Chris has done very, very well. He's handled himself and the team very well," added Yorath.
"I don't know really what they hope for.
"Chris is Welsh. I know for a fact that he likes the job - he loves the job, I've spoken to him many times.
"And I think the Welsh FA would be foolish not come to some kind of agreement with him."
Wales just missed out on qualification to the 1994 World Cup when they were beaten 2-1 by Romania in the final qualifying match in Cardiff.
Yorath says Coleman has experienced players to call on, but not to the same extent of his team which included Ian Rush, Mark Hughes and Neville Southall.
"The Welsh squad at the moment is quite young," said Yorath.
"Those players obviously need leaders. They've got them in Ashley Williams, they've got it in (Gareth) Bale, (Aaron) Ramsey - people who have played at the highest level.
"But you always need that one figure and Chris Coleman is that figure at the moment.
"From what I read and what I've heard the players all admire him.
"They all think he's doing a great job and I think it would be really, really sad if he left the job."


HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has begun a compensation scheme for parents unable to apply for government-funded childcare schemes due to IT glitches.

Since the Childcare Service launched in April, many parents have struggled to complete applications.
Parents may be eligible for a one-off payment if they were unable to log into their account, or did not receive a decision 20 days after applying.
To make a claim, parents need to fill in a form online.
Parents need to send the HMRC their full name, address, National Insurance number, bank details, copies of childcare provider receipts, and a brief description of the issues they faced when trying to apply for the childcare schemes.
Parents were required to log onto the Childcare Service website to sign up for two new government-funded childcare schemes.
They were for tax-free childcare, and the scheme for 30 hours' free childcare a week for all three and four year olds.
Under the tax-free childcare scheme, the government pays Â£2 for every Â£8 parents pay their approved childcare provider, via an online account.
The 30 hours' free childcare (1,140 hours per year) scheme is eligible to parents who are either in work or earning at least the minimum wage. The Department for Education says it is not eligible for families where "either parent has an income of more than Â£100,000".
However, since the site's inception it has been plagued by technical issues, prompting Nicky Morgan, chair of the Treasury committee and former education secretary, to demand answers from HMRC in early August.
Ms Morgan wrote to permanent secretary Jon Thompson, asking him to clarify:
HRMC apologised for the problems, saying it had now improved its service.
"We've now made significant improvements based on customer feedback, and on average more than 2,000 parents are applying successfully every single day," a spokesperson said.
The childcare service helpline is 0300 123 4097.


Louise Wilson, a leading figure in the fashion world who influenced top designers including Alexander McQueen, has died aged 52.

The head of Central Saint Martins college, where Prof Wilson was director of the prestigious MA Fashion course, said she had been "inspirational".
Fashion industry figures called her a "legend" and a "genius".
Prof Wilson was appointed OBE in 2008 for services to education and the fashion industry.
She became course director at London's Central Saint Martins in 1992, teaching students including Christopher Kane and Roksanda Ilincic who went on to become renowned designers.
Prof Jeremy Till, head of the college, said she had taught "a huge proportion of the world's leading fashion designers".
He said: "Her commitment to her students and passion for creative excellence are legendary. Her deep understanding of fashion and her drive for funding for bursaries, facilities and opportunities are part of what made her such an extraordinary educator."
Prof Wilson's legacy would live on through her former students and colleagues, he added.
Caroline Rush, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, wrote on Twitter: "Prof Louise Wilson, I can't believe you have gone. You were much loved and respected. A legend and an inspiration. RIP".
Fashion journalist Hilary Alexander also paid tribute, saying Prof Wilson was a "genius" who would be missed.
Alexandra Shulman, the UK editor of Vogue magazine, said Prof Wilson had "played a remarkable role in making the British fashion scene as successful and relevant as it is today".
She added: "Her teaching and influence made a mark on so many of our leading designers. I will miss her outspoken views and her clever and often very funny observations."
