US President Barack Obama has told the BBC he will continue to deliver his "blunt message" to African leaders about gay rights and discrimination.

"I am not a fan of discrimination and bullying of anybody on the basis of race... religion... sexual orientation or gender," he said.
Mr Obama is on his way to visit his ancestral home of Kenya and he will also go to Ethiopia.
He said the trip showed US commitment to fighting terror in East Africa.
In the wide-ranging interview with the BBC's North America editor Jon Sopel before he left Washington, President Obama also said:
Read the full transcript of his interview
It will be Mr Obama's first visit to Kenya since becoming president.
He will also become the first US leader to address the African Union when he travels on to Ethiopia on Sunday.
With hours to go till Mr Obama lands in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi is in lockdown with many streets closed and people opting to stay at home.
At the scene - Milton Nkosi, BBC News, Nairobi
Nairobi's streets - notorious for their long traffic jams - are empty. This is because of one of the largest security clampdowns the Kenyan capital has ever seen.
There is visible policing almost everywhere and security convoy sirens have been booming across the city all day.
President Obama is seen as Kenya's son - and this is a homecoming. But while Kenyans are happy and excited about his first visit as US president, they are paying the price of having their movements restricted.
Mosques have had to open and close early to avoid many road closures. Some businesses have had to shut early to avoid being trapped.
But it is a price they are happy to pay to host the most powerful man in the world.
This is Mr Obama's fifth trip to Africa as president, but despite his close family links to Kenya, he has faced criticism in some African countries over the legalisation of gay marriage in the US.
However, the president told the BBC he would not fall silent on the issue.
The US leader also agreed that some African governments, including Kenya's, needed to improve their records on human rights and democracy.
However, he defended his decision to engage with and visit those governments.
"Well, they're not ideal institutions. But what we found is, that when we combined blunt talk with engagement, that gives us the best opportunity to influence and open up space for civil society."
Obama on Africa:
"I'll be the first US president to not only visit Kenya and Ethiopia, but also to address the continent as a whole, building off the African summit that we did here which was historic and has, I think, deepened the kinds of already strong relationships that we have across the continent."
"A while back, when we started looking at strategies to reach out to the Muslim world, to reach out to developed countries, a common theme emerged, which was people are not interested in just being... patronised. And being given aid. They're interested in building capacity."
"We welcome Chinese aid into Africa. I think we think that's a good thing. We don't want to discourage it. As I've said before, what I also want to make sure though is that trade is benefiting the ordinary Kenyan and the ordinary Ethiopian and the ordinary Guinean and not just a few elites."
"As somebody who has family in Kenya and knows the history of how the country so often is held back because women and girls are not treated fairly, I think those same values apply when it comes to different sexual orientations."
The presidential body swerve
Five things we learned from Obama interview
President Obama said the US would continue to co-operate with Kenya and other East African nations to counter the threats from Islamist extremists groups.
He is due to address a global entrepreneurship summit in the capital, Nairobi this weekend, which the US state department said could provide "a target for terrorists".
But Mr Obama told the BBC that there is a link between security and entrepreneurship.
"When [people] have a sense of control of their own destiny, then they're less vulnerable to the propaganda and twisted ideologies that have been attracting young people - particularly now being turbocharged through social media."
Kenya is one of the top recipients of US military aid and in recent years has suffered attacks from Somalia's Islamist al-Shabab militants.
Away from human rights and security, there is also the issue of trade. In 2014, trade between the two countries reached $2.2bn (Â£1.4bn).


The family of a boy seriously injured in the Pakistan school massacre claim their lives will be put in danger if they return home.

Ahmad Nawaz was flown to Birmingham for surgery after he was shot in the arm in Peshawar last December, but his family's visas run out on 4 August.
Taliban gunmen killed Haris, Ahmad's brother, among 141 children and staff.
Mohammad Nawaz, father of 14-year-old Ahmad, said he hoped the family could remain longer in the UK.
However the family has yet to make a formal application to extend their visas, the BBC understands.
The Home Office said it did not routinely comment on individual cases.
Mr Nawaz said: "If we go back, they are not human beings, I think they will kill me and also kill all my family."
Mr Nawaz claims he received two death threats from the Taliban before the family travelled from Pakistan with Ahmad in February.
He claimed one call was found to have come from Torkham - a border crossing area - and the other threatened to target the ambulance carrying Ahmad from Peshawar to the airport in Islamabad before he was flown for surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
Ahmad has now been discharged as an inpatient from the hospital, which overlooks the semi-detached home where the family has been living.
But the family says he and his brother Umar, seven, remain traumatised.
Ahmad said: "Every time I'm sleeping or thinking of something, that same thoughts [of the massacre] are in my mind therefore I'm very stressed and depressed."
In February, his mother Samina Nawaz, described how her son "has nightmares of Kalashnikovs and the Taliban chasing him" after he "played dead" as he lay injured while Taliban gunmen stalked his school.
The attackers had scaled the walls of the school's compound before conducting a shooting spree, in one of the worst assaults in the country's recent history.
At the time, a Taliban spokesman told the BBC militants had attacked the army-run school in response to military operations in North Waziristan and the Khyber area.
The High Commission for Pakistan in London said: "The request of the family for extended treatment of Ahmad Nawaz in the UK is under active consideration of the government of Pakistan."
The Pakistani authorities agreed to pay for Ahmad's medical treatment in Birmingham after a high-profile campaign in Pakistan.


A judicial review has begun over the decision to exclude the former Kincora boys' home in east Belfast from a child abuse inquiry being held at Westminster.

A victim is taking legal action to force an independent inquiry with power to compel witnesses and the security services to hand over documents.
Gary Hoy was abused by two men who were subsequently convicted.
There have been allegations that a paedophile ring at Kincora was linked to the British intelligence services.
The government has so far refused calls for the abuse scandal at the Belfast home to be included within the scope of the inquiry established by Home Secretary Theresa May and headed by New Zealand judge Lowell Goddard.
The government has said that as child protection is a devolved matter, the right place for the Kincora allegations to be examined is Northern Ireland's Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry, which has been sitting in Banbridge.
The victims of Kincora claim the Northern Ireland inquiry lacks the powers to compel evidence or witnesses from government agencies.
Amnesty International, which is supporting the victims' legal challenge, says two military intelligence officers have alleged that the security services blocked police investigations into the child abuse at Kincora in the 1970s.
The judicial review is expected to last several days.
Three senior care staff at Kincora were jailed in 1981 for abusing 11 boys.
At least 29 boys were abused at the home between the late 1950s and the early 1980s.
One of the men who was later convicted, William McGrath, is believed to have been an MI5 agent.


A suicide attacker has killed at least 18 people at a Shia mosque in Iraq, the latest in a spate of similar bombings.

The attacker blew himself up in a crowd gathered for a funeral in western Baghdad's affluent Harthiyah area.
Dozens have been killed in similar attacks in recent weeks that have been widely blamed on Islamic State (IS).
IS militants, who control territory straddling Syria and Iraq, were engaged in battles with Kurdish fighters around the Syrian town of Kobane all weekend.
Earlier this week, the Kurds in Kobane said they had beaten back the Islamists.
But IS apparently launched a renewed effort to retake the town over the weekend.
Kurdish commanders said they had again repulsed the Islamists, thanks to help from US air strikes.
And Reuters news agency reported that the Iraqi army had launched an operation to retake the city of Baiji, near Iraq's biggest oil refinery.
However, the operation had to be aborted after a military vehicle reportedly exploded as part of an ambush by IS that killed four soldiers.
"The attacker surprised our forces as he was driving a military armoured vehicle. We thought it was our vehicle," an army officer told Reuters.
IS has caused chaos across the region, forcing many thousands to flee from their homes and cracking down on anyone who disagrees with their interpretation of Islam.
The US is leading a coalition of countries providing air power and technical support to Iraq's forces.
Australia, one of the biggest contributors to the coalition, announced earlier that a 200-strong special forces group could now be deployed in Iraq after a legal wrangle was resolved.
In addition, the US is also carrying out air strikes over Syria - although this is controversial because the Syrian government has not given permission.


A recycling plant where a 2,000-tonne rubbish fire has been burning for four days has had its licence suspended.

Residents are being advised to keep their windows closed after acrid smoke spread from the blaze at Llandow Industrial Estate.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said it had suspended the licence of site operators SiteServ Recycling.
On Monday, three fire crews remained at the scene of the fire which started on Thursday.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the risk to health is thought to be low but the smoke could cause nose and eye irritation, and coughing.
Nadia De Longhi, operations manager for NRW, said the suspension notice would prevent more waste being brought into the site.

A man has been killed and nine others injured in a shooting in the historic French Quarter of the US city of New Orleans.

Police said the shooter opened fire shortly before 01:40 local time (07:40 GMT) on Sunday at the corner of Bourbon and Iberville streets.
Police Superintendent Michael Harrison told a news conference the victims were eight men and two women, aged 20 to 37.
He said two men had been arrested on firearms charges.
Supt Harrison said police do not know what motivated the shooting, and that investigations were ongoing.
He added that the Bourbon Street area, which is full of bars and popular with tourists, had an increased police presence at the time due to the Bayou Classic, an annual college football game taking place the night before at a nearby stadium.

New Orleans Police Department had made eight other firearms arrests over the past 24 hours, Supt Harrison said.
The man killed in the shooting died in hospital, where the other nine victims remain in various conditions.
This is the second mass shooting on Bourbon Street in less than three years.
In June 2014, a young nursing student died and nine others were seriously injured after being caught up in a gunfight, around five blocks away from the present incident.


Gary Neville enjoyed a third successive win as Valencia's revival continued with a fortunate 2-1 victory over La Liga strugglers Granada.

After a first league win last weekend, Neville's side won away in La Liga for the first time since November.
Daniel Parejo, who scored in Valencia's 6-0 midweek Europa League win over Rapid Vienna, got the opening goal.
Santiago Mina then made it 2-0 on the break in the last minute before Edgar Mendez headed one back in injury time.
Andre Gomes twice went close to giving Valencia a first-half lead but both times he was denied by fine saves from Andres Fernandez.
The visitors finally went in front 10 minutes into the second half when Paco Alcacer laid the ball off for Parejo to stroke home his eighth goal of the season.
But Valencia, who moved up to 11th in the table, then rode their luck as David Barral hit the bar from a couple of yards out and substitute Youssef El-Arabi headed wide.
Former England and Manchester United full-back Neville must have been alarmed at his side's defending before Mendez tapped in their second goal, after Fernandez had saved Alcacer's attempted chip.
Mendez still had time to head in from a free-kick but could not prevent bottom club Granada slumping to a sixth defeat in their last seven games.
Elsewhere, Rayo Vallecano edged away from the relegation places with a point from a 2-2 draw with fifth-placed Seville.
Real Sociedad won 1-0 at Athletic Bilbao to secure a fourth successive league victory.


When Sinn Fein held its last Ard Fheis (party conference) in Londonderry in March 2015, its president, Gerry Adams, declared that his party would "not prop up either a Fine Gael or a Fianna Fáil government".

Instead, he insisted "Sinn Féin wants to lead the next government".
You could have put that aspiration down to party conference bravado, were it not for a series of opinion polls last year that suggested Sinn Féin was vying with Enda Kenny's Fine Gael as the Republic of Ireland's most popular party.
Now the results are in, Sinn Féin is still insisting it will not back Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil, but its talk of being in government on both sides of the Irish border has been put on hold.
Instead, it appears poised to play an influential role in opposition.
Some commentators are blaming Gerry Adams, suggesting Sinn Féin could have done better if it had entrusted its leadership to younger, southern stars such as Mary-Lou McDonald or Pearse Doherty.
During the election TV debates, Gerry Adams appeared to be grasping for details, a politician better at providing broad vision rather than economic acumen.
Then there was his defence of alleged IRA chief Thomas 'Slab' Murphy, convicted of tax evasion, as a "good republican".
It's something that probably didn't do much to help Sinn Féin candidates attract transfers from those still suspicious of the party's historic links.
However, Sinn Féin activists point out that the party has just increased its vote by four percentage points and will return with a greatly strengthened Dáil (Irish parliament) team.
Its level of support may not have matched some opinion polls, but it's in line with the party's showing in the Irish local elections in 2014.
Moreover, reporters who followed Gerry Adams on the campaign trail testify that if he wasn't at his best in the TV studios, he retained his celebrity value on the streets.
With a degree of justification, Adams' supporters say no one asks similar questions about other leaders who have presided over steady increases in their party's vote.
They put it down to wishful thinking by Sinn Féin's critics in the media and political world.
So, you can make the argument that Gerry Adams remains either an asset or a liability with equal vigour.
What is undoubtedly the case is that Sinn Féin has carved out a role for itself on the left of Irish politics, occupying territory lost by the likes of the Irish Labour Party.
Employing the same tactics it uses in Northern Ireland, with full-time activists engaging in assiduous constituency work, the party will dig in and not relinquish its current support easily.
Moreover, should Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil eventually reach some kind of deal, the waves could part for Gerry Adams as opposition leader.
Back in January, Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness told me he had the energy of a 20-year-old and was not considering stepping down as Northern Ireland's deputy first minister.
However, he also acknowledged that Sinn Féin had been looking seriously at what he referred to as "the whole issue of transition".
Once he has crossed this year's centenary of the Easter Rising off his bucket list, it's not inconceivable that, at the age of 67, Gerry Adams could decide the time is right to pass the baton on to a new party president from Dublin or Donegal.
But, after more than 30 years in charge of Sinn Féin, only Gerry Adams himself will decide when that time has come.


New Aberdeen loan signing Ryan Christie says manager Derek McInnes made him "desperate" to move to the club.

Christie, 21, has joined until the end of the season having made just 13 appearances for Celtic since his transfer from Inverness CT in 2015.
"I look at Aberdeen as the second biggest team in Scotland right now," said attacking midfielder Christie.
"In terms of all the other clubs in Scotland, Aberdeen were probably the only other one I would have joined."
Christie could make his debut for his new side at Pittodrie in Friday's Scottish Premiership meeting with Dundee, where a win would move the Dons above Rangers into second place.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers also helped sell Christie on a move to the north-east.

The Scotland Under-21 international said: "He [Rodgers] told me about Aberdeen and he didn't so much as say that he was forcing me out the door, but he gave me his opinion and said he thought it was a good idea, and to be fair I agreed with him completely.
"It was good to get his thoughts on it and he heard my thoughts, and after speaking to the manager [McInnes] as well, all of a sudden I was really excited and desperate to be here.
"It's been almost a full year without a proper run of game time, so it will be a nice feeling to have that back.
"Also I want to prove to myself as well that I can still fit in and show people I'm a good player.
"I can't say anything bad about it because I have had such an enjoyable year at Celtic in every aspect of it. Training is brilliant. Every player wants to play as much as they can so I was always going to get frustrated.
"But at the same time I knew I was going to have to stay patient when I first signed for Celtic. It's been about a year now and I think it was just about time to not go too long without game time and that's one of the reasons why I had to come here."
Celtic manager Rodgers revealed he had rejected an approach from McInnes in summer to take Christie to Pittodrie.
"I said Ryan was a player I wanted to see at close hand, I didn't want to see him go out," he told BBC Scotland. "He's contributed well in the first part of the season, but I felt in the second part of the season, with a few less games to play in, he might not be used so much and I don't want to hold back a young players' development.
"He can go to another big club with expectancy and under a good manager. I'm confident he'll come back as a better player."
McInnes is still hopeful of having Norwich midfielder James Maddison back for the second half of the season, while he wants "at least one more" signing before the end of the transfer window on Tuesday.
"There were other clubs asking about a potential loan move and he [Christie] has chosen us, and I think that says a lot about us and how he views Aberdeen.
"We haven't heard from Norwich, it was indicated we would hear from them at the start of the week.
"James did very well and I made no secret of the fact I wanted to keep him but I can't sit back and hope."


Over half of accusations made against teachers and teaching assistants by pupils in Wales turned out to be false, malicious or unfounded.

Figures for the last five years obtained by BBC Wales found 55% of 312 allegations were later dropped.
Teaching unions say that to try to deal with the problem, more action should be taken against those who make false or malicious claims.
The Welsh government said it is updating its guidance on the issue.
It said it will include advice on what consideration governing bodies should give to taking action against accusers.
But it added that it was important to take children's claims seriously and not deter pupils with genuine complaints from coming forward.
The Children's Commissioner for Wales Keith Towler said he wanted the Welsh government to publish their new guidance "as a matter of urgency".
The figures, obtained by BBC Wales under the Freedom of Information Act, show that between 2006 and 2011, 312 allegations were made against teachers and teaching assistants at Welsh schools.
But 174 of those, or 55.7%, were later found to be either false, unfounded or malicious.
A total of 103 cases were investigated by police and two teachers or assistants were convicted of a crime.
Of those facing accusations, 121 were suspended while the allegations were investigated.
The NUT and NASUWT both say the problem could be even bigger than the figures suggest.
Three councils - Swansea, Ceredigion and Caerphilly - were not able to provide figures on the issue and some were only able to provide statistics for the past few years.
Unions insisted more needs to be done to protect teachers from false accusations, while balancing the right of pupils to make genuine complaints.
They also suggested the complaints procedure should be reviewed so that teachers can be treated more fairly. They say they are often treated as guilty until they can prove themselves innocent.
"This is a matter of extreme concern for us and I know it's something that teachers are worried about," said Rex Phillips, Wales organiser for the NASUWT.
"It's every teacher's worst nightmare to have a false allegation made against them. Their reputation is damaged and they often find it hard to go back to work, even though they've been completely exonerated.
"We just want teachers to be treated fairly. Once an allegation is made, a teacher is often suspended immediately without even a bit of consideration given to if it can be true or not.
"There's no 'innocent until proven guilty'."
He said he would like to see police using their powers more to deal with pupils who have been proven to have made a false or malicious allegation.
"We would like a system where pupils can't make false allegations with impunity," he said.
"The police can issue a caution to the individual but I'm only aware of one case where this happened. I think it would send out a message to others that this will not be tolerated."
David Evans, Wales secretary of the NUT, said: "You have to realise that once an allegation is made, the rumour mill starts in schools and even if a teacher is later exonerated, there's the 'no smoke without fire' situation.
"Something needs to be done about it. There should be a complete overhaul of procedures and more should be done against those making false allegations."
Newport Council, where 71% of allegations were unfounded, said it followed guidelines when dealing with claims.
"Newport City Council and our schools take allegations against teachers and teaching assistants seriously and ensure swift action is taken in the interests of all parties concerned," a spokesperson said.
If an allegation is made and if it involves an issue of child protection (which can range from physical assault to mental or sexual abuse), the school must alert the local authority.
The teacher is usually suspended as soon as an allegation is reported.
A strategy meeting is set up that looks at the nature of the allegation. This involves social services, the police, representatives of the school and possibly of the local authority. The accused or their representatives do not have a right to be there.
The people in the meeting can then refer the matter to the police or back to the school to investigate.
If it goes back to the school, it is obliged to launch an independent investigation. Most schools use an independent company appointed by the Welsh government.
If an allegation goes to the police, they investigate and may pass the case onto the Crown Prosecution Service who will decide if it goes to court.
If a teacher is found guilty, sacked or resigns as a result of the process, they have to appear before the General Teaching Council for Wales.

Children's Commissioner for Wales Keith Towler said: "Classrooms should be safe places for both teachers and pupils.
"What we need to be doing is fostering a culture of respect between teachers and their pupils instead of pitching them against each other.
"I am particularly concerned by the statement about the proposed criminalisation of children found to have made false accusations - this could act as a considerable disincentive for those children who do have an allegation to make.
"We have waited for new guidance from the Welsh government for quite some time and I press them to publish as a matter of urgency."
The Welsh government said it did not want to see teachers being falsely accused, but added: "We must not do anything that might undermine the child's right to be heard or deter children with genuine complaints from coming forward.
"There is provision within the Education Act 2011 that provides anonymity to teachers facing accusations of criminal behaviour against pupils at school.
"The provision, which applies to both England and Wales, is not applicable to the General Teaching Council for Wales investigations, hearings or outcomes.
"We have a range of policies in place that set out clearly how allegations against a teacher should be handled within the school, and a process for independent external investigation where this is required.
"The Welsh government is currently working with stakeholders, including teaching unions, to update its guidance on handling of staff disciplinary cases.
"In the guidance, which sets out a fair and transparent process for the handling of disciplinary cases against teachers, we intend to make provision relating to the handling of malicious or false accusations and what consideration governing bodies should give to taking action against accusers."


England back Elliot Daly has the potential to tour with the British and Irish Lions in the summer, according to his Wasps team-mate Danny Cipriani.

Daly, 24, has emerged as a key player for England this season, scoring the winning try in Saturday's 21-16 victory over Wales in the Six Nations.
"He's got the ability," Cipriani told the Rugby Union Weekly podcast.
"He's extremely quick, with a good skill-set, and his left foot is underrated," added the fly-half.
The pair went to school together in Croydon, and Cipriani says Daly "was one of the reasons" why he chose to rejoin Wasps from Sale last year.
Cipriani also feels Daly's ascension to the international arena shows skill is more valuable than size in the modern game.
"The size myth is a thing of the past now," added Cipriani, who made the last of his 14 appearances for England in August 2015.
"All big men are having to actually learn to use their skills. Players like Elliot and George Ford aren't blessed with size but have footballing ability."

Despite not being part of Eddie Jones' England set-up, Cipriani has been mentioned by Lions boss Warren Gatland as a possible wildcard for the squad to tour New Zealand.
The 29-year-old was influential as Wasps drew 35-35 with Exeter on Sunday to extend their lead at the top of the Premiership, and Cipriani believes winning silverware with Wasps could put him in the frame for selection.
"I've got an opportunity to do everything I can to make sure Wasps get into the big games at the end of the season," Cipriani said.
"If by playing well in those games Warren feels I could unlock those defences [in New Zealand], then it would be a dream come true and would make my career."


The African Confederation Cup holders, TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo, booked their place in the group phase of this year's tournament with a 0-0 draw away to JS Kabylie in Algeria on Sunday.

Mazembe - who won the home leg of their play-off 2-0 last weekend - held off Kabylie's challenge to continue the defence of their crown.
There was a big shock in Abidjan as former African Champions League winners, Asec Mimosas, were knocked out by CF Mounana of Gabon.
Mimosas went into their home leg needing to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg, but despite fielding a side including the likes of Burkina Faso star Aristide Bancé, the match ended 0-0 with Mounana going through 2-1 on aggregate.
Also on Sunday, Platinum Stars of South Africa squeezed past another Ivorian side AS Tanda to progress 5-4 on penalties after their tie had ended 2-2 on aggregate.
The South Africans went into their home leg in Rustenburg trailing 2-0 overall, but fought back to take the tie to spot-kicks and book their place in the group phase.
It was much more straightforward for another South African side, SuperSport United, who overwhelmed Liberia's Barrack Young Controllers 5-0 in Pretoria.
A hat-trick from Jeremy Brockie helped SuperSport United take the tie 6-1 on aggregate.
Sudan's Al Hilal Obeid defeated Ports Authority of the Gambia 3-0 at home to progress 4-1 on aggregate.

Also on Sunday, Nigerian side Rivers United secured a 2-0 home win over Rwanda's Rayon Sports in the only remaining first leg of the play-offs.
The match had been delayed due to the commemoration of the Rwanda genocide.
On Saturday, nine teams booked their place in the newly expanded group phase of the Confederation Cup, including Mbabane Swallows, whose 4-3 aggregate win over Congolese side AC Leopards made them the first club from Swaziland to reach the group stage.
CS Sfaxien of Tunisia became the first side to reach this year's Confederation Cup group phase with a victory over Rail Kadiogo on Friday.
The draw for the group phase will be held on will be on 26 April 2017 in Cairo.


Manchester United have replaced Bayern Munich as the most popular team online in China, according to a new report.

The sixth edition of the Red Card, which analyses the influence of 53 European clubs on China's social media platforms, has Arsenal and Liverpool joint third with Manchester City fifth.
The German Bundesliga remains the most influential league online.
Arsenal's Mesut Ozil is the second most popular player behind Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
United forward Wayne Rooney, who has been linked with a move to China, also features in the top five, along with Old Trafford team-mate Anthony Martial.
Real's Wales international Gareth Bale is third, but Lionel Messi is a notable absentee. The Barcelona forward does not have a social media presence in China.
The study took its data from Chinese social media platforms WeChat and Weibo, the latter a cross between Twitter and Facebook, as well as audience figures from live streams of games and how the respective club websites perform in the country.
David Hornby, head of sport at Mailman which produced the annual report, told BBC Sport: "The Premier League is complacent. Its clubs have decent numbers of followers on Weibo, but not as high engagement.
"The Bundesliga clubs are far more active. The German league tells its clubs what to do, whereas the respective Premier League clubs are in control of what they do."
Regarding United's ascent to the top for the first time since the report began, Hornby said: "There was a gap between following and engagement.
"United were the most followed, but Bayern were a country mile ahead regarding activity online. But United have taken big strides with fan events and a tour last year."


A "remarkably high" number of painkilling injections were prescribed to patients by doctors at a Hampshire hospital, a report has concluded.

The Department of Health investigated death rates at Gosport War Memorial Hospital between 1988 and 2001.
The Baker Report was held back 10 years to allow inquests to be held.
It found death rates at the hospital and the amounts of morphine and diamorphine prescribed may have "shortened life" in some cases.
Professor Richard Baker's report concluded there was an "almost routine use of opiates" at the hospital, but from the evidence studied it was not possible to establish how the practice originated.
Several police investigations, NHS inquiries and, latterly, inquests were conducted into the deaths of elderly patients at the hospital.
Despite a police investigation into the deaths of 92 patients, no criminal prosecutions were brought.
At a previous General Medical Council (GMC) hearing, Dr Jane Barton was found guilty of multiple instances of professional misconduct.
Dr Barton was found to have prescribed "potentially hazardous" levels of drugs to patients who later died at the hospital in the 1990s.
Despite the GMC hearing's findings, the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was insufficient evidence for a prosecution on gross negligence manslaughter charges.
Reacting to the report's publication, Health Minister Norman Lamb said: "The death of a loved one has a devastating impact on the whole family.
"The families of those who died at Gosport hospital have waited a long time to see this report and I know they will want to consider it carefully and that it is likely to raise more questions for them.
"I am more than happy to meet with families to discuss concerns raised by the report."


Glasgow Warriors scrum-half Ali Price has signed a new two-year deal at the club, which will expire in May 2018.

The Scotland under-20 international signed his first professional contract with the Warriors in December, and has made nine appearances this season.
"The last few months have been great, as I've played regularly and feel I've made a positive impact," Price said.
"Being able to train and play with quality players at Scotstoun has also allowed me to improve my game."
Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: "Ali is continually developing as a scrum-half and it's great news that he's staying with us for the next couple of years.
"He's worked hard on his game over the past 12 months, and you can see the confidence he now has in his kicking game and taking on the defence with ball in hand.
"The most important attributes of a scrum-half are a fast and accurate pass, as well as a high fitness level and Ali has done well in these areas this season, seizing the opportunity to play for us in some important games."


A public consultation into plans for a controversial shake-up of hospital services in Huddersfield and Halifax has revealed its results.

Out of 7,500 respondents, 60% said they would be negatively hit by the proposals, which include closing Huddersfield's A&E department.
The 40,000 comments received included concerns about the increased distance for travel and hospital waiting times.
A decision on the plan, which could save the NHS Â£31m, is due in October.
Demonstrations against the closure have been staged and a petition has been signed by more than 63,000 supporters.
Under the proposals, all emergency acute and high-risk planned care would be brought together at Calderdale Royal Hospital in neighbouring Halifax.
A new site in Acre Mills, Huddersfield, would be developed as a hospital for planned care, but with no A&E.
People in Huddersfield would have to be taken to Halifax, Wakefield or Barnsley for emergency treatment, or across the Peak District to Oldham or east Manchester.
The 14-week consultation was organised by the NHS Calderdale and Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Groups.
In Huddersfield, 80% of people feared they would be negatively affected, with 33% feeling the same in Calderdale.


Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini said his side were suffering "a crisis of confidence" after their 2-1 home Champions League defeat by CSKA Moscow.

Media playback is not supported on this device
City could still be eliminated even if they win their final group games - against Bayern Munich and Roma.
Pellegrini will be without Fernandinho and Yaya Toure against Bayern after they were sent off in the second half.
"It is a crisis of confidence and we must find out why by talking to the players every day," said Pellegrini.
"We must try to find out what happens with this team in the Champions League. These players are important players so I don't understand why they cannot play in the Champions League.
"You can never imagine you are out when the maths says you are still in. We must try to work hard and get back to our normal style of play."
Pellegrini refused to blame the performance of Greek referee Tasos Sidiropolous, who infuriated City by refusing late penalty appeals by Sergio Aguero, and also spared CSKA's Pontus Wernbloom - who had already been booked - a red card by mistakenly cautioning Sergei Ignashevich.
The Chilean said: "The difference was not just the referee. I don't want to have any excuses about the way we played. I don't want to link the referee with the result.
"The referee must decide if they are red cards or not red cards or whether it is a penalty or not. It is more important for me to analyse why we are not playing in the way we normally play."
Toure also seemed to accept the official's decision to issue him with a straight red card for a shove in the face of Roman Eremenko. The Ivorian said sorry to City's fans via his Twitter account, adding that it was "important to apologise".
City will be out before the final round of matches if they fail to beat Bayern and there is a winner in the match between CSKA and Roma.


A record number of people in the UK, some 14,570, are surviving to the age of 100, the latest official data shows.

The number of people aged 100, or over, has quadrupled over the last two decades, according to Office for National Statistics figures for 2015.
In the last decade alone, the number of centenarians has risen by 65% or 5,720
There has also been a dramatic increase in the number of people aged over 105. Last year there were 850 reaching the age of 105, up from 130 in 1985.
The figures come as statisticians publish information on the life expectancy of the UK population.
Those born between 2013 and 2015 can expect to live to the age of 79 if they are a boy and 82 if they are a girl.
This was working on the assumption that mortality rates remain the same as they are now, the ONS said.
Life expectancy had increased by 13 weeks a year since the 1980 to 1982 period for males and by 9.5 weeks a year on average for females, the ONS said.
There are half a million people aged 90 or over in the UK.
The size of this age group has increased over time, and seven out of 10 of them are women.
Responding to the figures, minister for pensions Richard Harrington said: "It is fantastic news that more people are living longer lives.
"I want everyone to be able to enjoy their retirement, but as people live longer it's even more important that they have a pension to help provide financial security in later life."
He added that saving into a workplace pension was one of the best ways for this to be achieved.


Barcelona stretched their La Liga lead to nine points, despite throwing away a two-goal advantage at Villarreal.

Barca moved ahead when Ivan Rakitic fired a low shot past several home defenders, pouncing on a loose ball after Lionel Messi's free-kick.
Neymar calmly converted a controversial penalty after he was adjudged to be fouled by home keeper Sergio Asenjo.
But fourth-placed Villarreal fought back through Cedric Bakambu's neat finish and Jeremy Mathieu's own goal.
Relive all the drama from El Madrigal
Barca, who saw nearest rivals Atletico Madrid suffer a shock loss at Sporting Gijon on Saturday, had to settle for a point as they extended their Spanish record unbeaten run to 39 matches in all competitions.
The Catalan side are 10 points ahead of third-placed Real Madrid, who thrashed Sevilla 4-0 later on Sunday.
Villarreal look unlikely to pip Madrid to an automatic Champions League place, but are well equipped to reach the competition's qualifying round after a deserved point against the reigning champions.
They are 12 points adrift of Zinedine Zidane's side, but have a six-point cushion over fifth-placed Celta Vigo.
Both home goals came after Barca boss Luis Enrique reshuffled his defence with the introduction of Mathieu, who replaced the booked Gerard Pique, and right-back Dani Alves.
The visitors appeared vulnerable to further punishment, but regained their composure to see out the final half hour.
However, there were few chances for either side to nick an action-packed game, which saw referee Jose Sanchez infuriate the home crowd with a series of bizarre decisions.
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique:
"The best teams in the league have lost here, we've drawn. We were close to winning, but also could have lost.
"It is a positive round of fixtures for us. One less to go and one point closer to our objectives.
"It is a positive result for us."


On his 14th birthday, Aleksos sits quietly on the edge of his bed in a bare Athens hospital room.

He is not sick and he is not here to visit anyone, but for the past two months the Agia Sofia Children's Hospital has been his home.
He was brought here after reporting his mother to the police for abuse and neglect.
Aleksos, originally from Albania, told social workers that a mixture of alcoholism and mental health problems had made his mother physically and verbally violent.
He isn't allowed to leave the hospital for safety reasons - not even to go to school. He has his lessons inside Agia Sofia.
Greek tragedy for education opportunities
Latest Greece bailout deal with eurozone
When children in Greece are taken into care, the current system requires them to spend a few days in hospital while they receive health checks and wait to be placed in a residential institution or foster home.
But with the country's institutions full and because of an underdeveloped foster care system, children are spending months at a time living in hospitals.
According to the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Social Solidarity, there are currently 27 babies and 33 children living in Greek hospitals.
2,825
Children living in institutional care
60 Children living in Greek hospitals
36% Greeks at risk of poverty and social exclusion
â‚¬5.7bn Further public spending cuts due in 2016
24% Unemployment
Greek children's charity Smile of the Child says Aleksos is one of 13 minors staying in the Agia Sofia Hospital, where the average time for children waiting to be moved to a foster home or institution is between one and four months.
The charity's chairman and co-founder, Kostas Yannopoulos says an increasing number of children are now spending a long time in an environment that he considers "inadequate for children with social problems".
Staying in the hospital for a long period of time can affect minors both physically and mentally, he says.
"First of all, they get viruses from the other children who are ill. Then [psychologically] it creates huge problems for them. They think: 'Why am I here? I was better off in the abusive environment. All the other children here have parents.'"
Not all the children living in the Agia Sofia hospital are teenagers.
Lida is just 18 months old and has been living there since her parents were brought to hospital with psychiatric problems last month.
It has been more than six years since the start of Greece's financial crisis and since then it has seen a rapid decline in social spending.
"The welfare state, or what is left of it, is struggling to cope with demand," says Alexander Kentikelenis, a sociologist at the University of Oxford who has done extensive research on the impacts of the crisis.
"There is an increase in demand, and a decrease of supply of such services, which inevitably means that social groups that need welfare services are left without, having a tremendous impact on children," he says.
Charities are trying to fill the gaps in social support left by the state.
According to Opening Doors, an organisation that campaigns to put a stop to children growing up in institutionalised care in Europe, 22% of Greece's children's homes are run by charities or churches.
In one of Smile of the Child's 11 residential children's homes, in the sun-bleached neighbourhood of Marousi in north-east Athens, six-year-old Milos plays the piano with one hand as he eats a slice of cake with the other.
Beside him, a toddler uses the bars of her cot to pull herself upright, eager to see.
While the two of them are guaranteed a space here until they're 18, many charities say they are full to capacity and do not have the money to care for more children.
International charity SOS Children's Villages houses 275 children in Greece and has no space for more.
But Stergios Sifinios, its director of social work, says even if they had the money, they would not want to open more institutions. Instead, the charity is trying to raise funds for social centres that support families to stay together.
"This is much more important than having more and more institutions," he says. "Taking children out of the family is very bad for them."
Mr Sifinios says that on average children spend three months in hospitals, but the longest he has heard of is three years.
Theano Fotiou, deputy minister for Labour, Social Security and Social Solidarity, agrees that moving children out of hospitals "may take longer than it should".
But the government says it is trying to improve child protection services and hopes no children under three will be living either in hospitals or institutions by 2020.
Among Ms Fotiou's top priorities are promoting foster care and developing alternatives to institutional placements.
For Georgette Mulheir, who runs the charity Lumos, the real issue is ending reliance on institutions, whether hospitals, state institutions or charity-run children's homes.
In her opinion, children should not be entering hospitals at all, but having medical check-ups with a GP before being integrated into a family environment.
"The development of emergency foster care is absolutely what needs to happen," she says.

Parents are being warned that children are almost twice as likely to trespass on the railway in summer than winter.

Network Rail, which manages Britain's track system, said the longer evenings and extended school holidays "spell danger" for young people.
Over the past 10 years almost 170 young people have been killed after trespassing on the railway.
Figures show there were almost 600 incidents of under-25s trespassing in August 2015; twice as many as December.
Some 72% of all trespassers killed over the past 10 years were hit by a train.
A further 17% were electrocuted, while others fell from structures or trains.
'The electric shock that transformed my life'
Taking a short cut was the motivation for 42% of trespass incidents, with 19% due to thrill-seeking.
Graham Hopkins, of Network Rail, urged parents to warn children against taking a short cut over rail lines or playing on the tracks, saying it was "not only illegal. It is also dangerous."
British Transport Police said its officers patrolled areas of track prone to trespassers and put up safety posters.
But it warned that its staff had to cover 10,000 miles of track country-wide and "cannot tackle this issue alone".
Network Rail has also contacted Nintendo and app developers over "safety concerns" regarding Pokemon Go being playable close to live train tracks.
The BBC understands gamers have been walking onto the tracks at Birmingham New Street station.


A nurse has told a murder trial that she was warned by police about the man she planned to marry.

Simone Banarjee, 41, told the High Court in Glasgow that two CID officers gave her a letter alerting her about her fiance Malcolm Webster's past.
The 51-year-old is accused of murdering his first wife in Aberdeenshire in 1994 and trying to kill his second wife in New Zealand in 1999.
Mr Webster, from Guildford in Surrey, denies the charges.
Ms Banarjee told the court that the two detectives arrived at the Lorn and Islands Hospital in Oban in January 2008, with the letter, which was signed by the assistant chief constable.
She was asked by prosecutor Derek Ogg: "Did it relate to matters in New Zealand and Scotland?" and she replied: "It did."
She said: "It all seemed so unbelievable."
Referring to the contents of the letter, Mr Ogg then said: "Did this seem to be the Malcolm Webster you knew?" and she said: "No."
Ms Banarjee said when she first met Mr Webster in 2005 he had told her that his first wife Claire Morris had died in a car crash and that he had not remarried.
The court was told that the letter given to Ms Banarjee by the CID officers revealed that Mr Webster had married another woman, Felicity Drumm, in New Zealand and had a son.
Ms Banarjee said that she was in shock but eventually confronted Mr Webster.
She said: "Initially he asked who told me. I said the police.
"He went white and very, very quiet and at that point I wished I wasn't in the room."
Ms Banarjee, who had known Mr Webster for four years and had been in a relationship with him for two years, added: "I've never seen him like that before."
When asked by Mr Ogg: "How long was he like that?" she replied: "For five second maximum, then back to the Malcolm I knew."
Mr Ogg added: "That was a place you didn't want to be?" and she said: "No, I was terrified."
She was asked if Webster had said anything about the allegations and she replied: "He denied all the allegations it contained."
Earlier, in evidence, Ms Banarjee told the jury that Mr Webster had taken her to see his first wife Claire's grave and had also spoken about the car crash in which she died.
She said Mr Webster told her a motor cyclist came round a corner or the brow of a hill on the wrong side, he swerved off the road and the car caught fire.
Ms Banarjee added that Mr Webster said he could not get Claire out the car and he was trapped for a while and the soles of his feet were burned before he managed to crawl out.
She added: "I was told he was in intensive care for about a week after the accident."
Mr Ogg told her: "Mr Webster did not sustain any injury to his feet in the course of this crash, are you certain he said this?" She replied: "I'm 100% positive."
Ms Banarjee said that Mr Webster also told her that his first wife was screaming as the car burned.
She added: "He didn't like things on the television where there was screams and fires because it reminded him of the accident."
Earlier the witness had also said that Mr Webster had told her his first wife was pregnant when she died.
She also said that Mr Webster told her he was suffering from chronic lymphatic leukaemia.
Ms Banarjee said: "I never met anyone who had been so unlucky in their life. To be bereaved and have a terminal illness."
Mr Ogg said: "It seems almost incredible." She replied: "Yes it does."
She said that Mr Webster told her he had to go to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London for chemotherapy, and shaved his hair and eyebrows off.
The court has heard Mr Webster, a qualified nurse, had not received treatment for cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital, the Beatson Clinic or the Nuffield Health Glasgow Hospital.
In January 2008, after splitting with Mr Webster, Ms Banarjee instructed her lawyer to destroy her will.
Mr Webster is accused of drugging his first wife, putting her in a car, driving it off the road and setting fire to it.
He also stands accused of fraudulently obtaining more than Â£200,000 after cashing in a series of insurance policies following the death of his first wife, who was from Oldmeldrum.
He is further charged with deliberately crashing his car in Auckland in February 1999, in a bid to kill his second wife while she was a passenger.
Mr Webster did so as part of an attempt to fraudulently obtain hundreds of thousands of pounds in separate insurance payouts, it is alleged.
It is also alleged he intended to bigamously marry Ms Banarjee to gain access to her estate and told her he was terminally ill with leukaemia when he was actually in good health.
The trial, before Lord Bannatyne, continues. It is expected to last about four months.


Calvin Harris is reported to be taking legal action over naked photos which were apparently leaked online.

According to TMZ, which claims it's seen the pictures, the images have been uploaded to several porn sites.
The entertainment website alleges they were originally sent by the DJ to a number of women.
Newsbeat hasn't seen any naked photos of the 31-year-old and Calvin's people told us they aren't commenting.
The DJ, who's the new face of Armani underwear, recently posed for a photo shoot wearing nothing except a pair of tight pants.
Newsbeat has seen black and white pixelated pictures posted online, in which it is claimed the star is naked.
But it's not clear if these are genuine or if they are professional pictures edited to suggest he's not wearing underwear.
Last year, Forbes magazine estimated the DJ, who is the richest in the world, earned around Â£40m.
In January he signed a three-year deal to hold residencies at three of their Las Vegas venues and become their music consultant.

Hewlett-Packard (HP) is suing Oracle over a chip dispute in the latest clash between the two former allies.

The lawsuit accuses Oracle of behaving illegally in deciding that future versions of its database software will not support one line of HP servers.
The servers use an Itanium chip that Oracle insists is being phased out.
HP claim that Oracle's decision to stop the support will hurt its clients - Oracle has denied the claims, calling the lawsuit "malicious and meritless".
Relations between the two companies have deteriorated in the past year.
HP's former boss, Mark Hurd, joined Oracle almost a year ago.
HP had then threatened court action, claiming that Oracle would "exploit the knowledge of HP's strengths and weaknesses" as a result of hiring Mr Hurd.
The current dispute is the result of a combination of factors.
It centres around the future of the Itanium chip manufactured by Intel and the growing rivalry between the two companies in the field of server hardware market.
In March, Oracle announced that upcoming versions of its database software would no longer support HP servers that use the chip.
It said it had evidence that Intel was planning to phase out the product, hence it did not plan to provide software that supports the processor - something Intel has denied.
But Oracle said in a statement that: "Intel's plans to end-of-life Itanium will be revealed in court".
HP says Oracle's real concern is to try to force customers to buy the Sun Microsystems servers manufactured by it.
The company claimed Oracle was using "strong-arm tactics to coerce customers into replacing their HP servers with Sun servers they do not want".
HP said it had sent a legal notice to Oracle last week, but a lack of response from Oracle had left it with no choice but to take legal action against its former ally.
"The silence from Oracle is deafening. We are very disappointed it has come to this," said Bill Wohl of HP.


A third night of protests has rocked the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, after a black man was shot dead by a black police officer on Tuesday.

Thursday's protest was largely peaceful after violence a day earlier during which one person was fatally shot.
Keith Lamont Scott's family dispute police allegations he was armed and want video recording to be released.
Excessive police force used against black men has been the subject of protests for two years across the US.
On Tuesday, Mr Scott was killed in Charlotte after police say he refused to drop a gun he was carrying. His family say he was unarmed and holding a book.
Police have released a video of the shooting to the family, but have refused to make it public.
The family's lawyer, Justin Bamberg, said no gun was visible in the video and Mr Scott appeared to be "acting calm".
"You do see something in his hand, but it's impossible to make out from the video what it is."
Police chief Kerr Putney said the video proved the shooting was justified, telling Fox news: "The officer perceived his failure to comply with commands, failure to drop the weapon and facing the officers as an imminent threat."
On Thursday, demonstrators protesting against Mr Scott's death defied a curfew put into force by the city's mayor on Thursday - running from midnight to 06:00.
According to Cpt Mike Campagna, officers did not enforce the curfew as protests were largely peaceful, with some on the street singing gospel songs.
However Charlotte police reported two officers were injured.
Hundreds of National Guard troops were deployed on the streets to protect the city against further violence and property damage.
It followed Wednesday's protest during which protesters smashed windows of hotels and restaurants, set fires, and attacked reporters.
Peaceful demonstrations took place in the aftermath of last week's shooting in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
On Thursday, officer Betty Shelby was charged with manslaughter for shooting an unarmed man.
Prosecutors said her decision to shoot Terence Crutcher was "unreasonable".
Video of the incident shows Mr Crutcher with his hands up, leaning against the car.
Officer Shelby said Mr Crutcher had not followed her commands and she had opened fire when he began to reach into his car window.
As well as being shot, Mr Crutcher was also struck with a stun gun by another officer.
Ms Shelby's lawyer, Scott Wood, has said she believed Mr Crutcher was under the influence of the synthetic drug PCP. A vial of the drug was found in the car.
His family have disputed Ms Shelby's claim, arguing that his window was closed at the time of the incident.
Police have said no gun was found on Mr Crutcher or inside his vehicle.
The US justice department has also opened a separate investigation to see if Mr Crutcher's civil rights were violated.
If convicted, Ms Shelby faces a minimum of four years in prison.
After the charge, a small group of demonstrators gathered to demand a harsher sentence.
Just four days before the first presidential debate, Republican Donald Trump said the violence from the Charlotte protests was largely due to drugs.
"If you're not aware, drugs are a very, very big factor in what you're watching on television at night," he said.
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine said the list of black men fatally shot by police had "grown too long" and the country needed to confront the issue of racial tensions.
Republican Congressman Robert Pittenger, of North Carolina, told the BBC the protesters hated white people because white people were successful, but he later apologised for his comments in an interview with CNN.

Why America remains segregated


India head coach Anil Kumble has stepped down after only a year in charge.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India invited applications for the role in May but subsequently "endorsed an extension" to his one-year contract.
Captain Virat Kohli denied reports of a row with former India skipper Kumble, 46, before the start of this month's Champions Trophy.
India were beaten by rivals Pakistan in the final on Sunday.
Former leg-spinner Kumble, who played 132 Tests and 271 one-day internationals was appointed coach in June 2016 on a contract that expired after the Champions Trophy.
During his time in charge, India won 12 and lost one of the 17 Tests they played, and claimed ODI series win over New Zealand and England.
India play a five-match ODI series and a T20 in the West Indies starting on Friday.


The restoration of a Surrey canal has taken a step forward with the signing of a lease for a stretch of land.

The Wey & Arun Canal Trust said it can now restore 400m of the waterway's Bramley Link section, south of Guildford.
The trust has so far carried out work on more than half of the 23-mile canal route.
It has fully restored three-and-a-half miles in the Loxwood area where it runs public excursion boats.
The new lease is for farmland owned by trust supporters Susan and Malcolm Brenton.
It will enable a stretch of the canal from Shalford down to the Tannery Lane Bridge near Bramley to be restored.
A year-long environmental impact assessment, a civil engineering design study and a full flood study are being carried out.
The trust said the studies will support a planning application in summer 2016.
The first fully restored section in Surrey, on the Summit Level between Alfold and Dunsfold, is due to open in September 2016.


Victims of child sex abuse are being turned away from support services that are being overwhelmed by a large rise in cases.

Charity Twelves Company, based in Devon, said it had turned away 112 people seeking support in 2015.
A BBC investigation revealed that in Devon and Cornwall police have seen a 55% rise in reports of sexual abuse in the past four years.
Police urged victims to come forward and said they would be protected.
Updates on this story and more from Devon and Cornwall
Between January and November 2015, 1,326 reports of sexual abuse were made to the force, compared with 853 in 2011.
The figures show more than 380 historic allegations - in which the offence was committed before 1 May 2004 - of rape involving a child have been reported to the force since 2011.
Jon Brown, head of development and impact at the NSPCC, said: "Unfortunately there is a significant gap between the number of people who need help and therapy as a result of the abuse, and the availability of services."
He said the rise in reports was a result of historic cases of child sex abuse in the news, which had encouraged more people to come forward.
853 - 2011
888 - 2012
979 - 2013
1,221 - 2014
1,326 - 2015
Mr Brown said the prime minister had highlighted child sexual abuse as a priority along with dealing with terrorism which was "encouraging".
However, Mr Brown said there needed to be a "more joined up approach [between authorities] to provide the provision of help for victims" including "greater treatment and help" and working with schools and families to prevent abuse.
He said local authorities, health services and the police, as well as charities such as the NSPCC, had a duty to protect and care for victims.
Tom Dingwall, chief executive of Twelves Company, which supports sexual and domestic abuse victims in the South West, said it provided services to almost 300 victims in 2015.
"Last year, demand outstripped our capacity to deliver services and we turned away 112 adults from receiving specialist support."
Across Devon and Cornwall there are four Local Safeguarding Children's Boards - which aim to protect those at risk.
Andy Bickley, chair for Plymouth, said investments, including training courses for those who come into contact with children, have been made.
David Taylor, the chair for Devon and Torbay, said authorities were "getting better at identifying abuse".
He said: "It is an extremely complex and challenging area of work, and authorities in the region are learning from best practice in other parts of the country."
Source: Devon and Cornwall Police
Det Ch Insp Neil Ralph said the rise in reports of abuse was a "challenge for the police service, locally and nationally", but the force had made a "huge investment" by creating a dedicated unit and was working with other forces.
"It is a large increase and we've increased our digital and online footprint as these things can be really difficult to report over the phone so it enables them to report abuse [online] much easier.
"People have a high level of trust in the police and the Operation Yewtree impact [means] they have felt more compelled to report abuse to police.
He said a high number of the reports, which were released in response to a freedom of information request by BBC News, related to historical crimes and the force "would do everything it can to investigate them and bring the offenders to justice".
- Local authorities have the statutory responsibility for safeguarding children.
- The safeguarding is overseen by Local Safeguarding Childrenâ€™s Boards.
- These Boards are made up of a number of agencies such as local authorities, police, education & health providers.
- Police will lead on criminal investigations with social care services leading on the safeguarding.


Maldives candidate Mohamed Nasheed has urged President Mohamed Waheed to step down, a day after police stopped the latest attempt to hold an election.

Mr Nasheed was the clear frontrunner in last month's vote but he did not get an outright majority and the election was later annulled by the Supreme Court.
He has called for another election to take place under a caretaker leader.
Mr Nasheed is pushing for a second spell as president 18 months after he was forced to resign.
"We believe that the only prudent way forward and the solution is for Waheed to resign and the speaker of parliament to take over the government until elections are over," Mr Nasheed said on Sunday.
He accused the current leader of trying to obstruct the elections "to take this country into a constitutional void and then capture power".
Last month, he gained 45% of votes in a first-round election that was annulled because the electoral lists included made-up names and dead people .
On Saturday police prevented ballot papers from being sent out because two candidates had failed to approve the registry of voters.
The electoral commission said the police had exceeded their mandate.
Mr Nasheed has been heading peaceful protests in the capital, Male. His supporters blocked a main road, drinking tea and eating snacks in a display of civil disobedience.
The current president, who had already pulled out of the leadership race after performing badly in the annulled first round, has proposed that the re-run vote be held on 26 October.
"I hope that over that week, any outstanding problems will be ironed out," Mr Waheed told the Associated Press, saying he wanted to ensure a new president was installed before the end of his term on 11 November.
The two remaining presidential candidates - Gasim Ibrahim and Abdulla Yameen - have been fighting for the re-run not to take place.
On Friday, they had sought an injunction against the election at the Supreme Court.
They complained that they had not had time to endorse the registry of voters, a newly introduced requirement.
The court did not issue an injunction nor did it give a clear instruction for the election to go ahead.
On Saturday, electoral commission head Fuwad Thowfeek said police had entered his offices and were stopped officials from distributing election materials.
Police spokesman Abdulla Nawaz said the election was stopped because the commission did not comply with a court order to have the voters' list endorsed by all candidates.
But Mr Thowfeek accused them of exceeding their mandate.
The cancellation caused alarm among the country's international partners.
India's foreign ministry said it was "seriously concerned at attempts to stall the democratic process", while a US embassy official in Sri Lanka said the delay "represents a real threat to democracy in the Maldives".
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said he was "deeply dismayed" and called for the democratic process to be allowed to proceed.
Commonwealth observers in the country also issued an angry statement denying suggestions by the police that they had sought Commonwealth advice before stopping the election.


Seven Philippine safety officers have been sentenced to jail for corruption over a fire at a night club that killed 162 people in Quezon City in 1996.

The officials gave safety permits to the Ozone Disco Club without carrying out checks, the court found.
They were sentenced to between six and 10 years, but will not go to jail until after appeals are heard. Two managers of the club also received jail terms.
The fire is one of the most deadly blazes ever to hit a night club.
Some campaigners for survivors of the fire expressed anger that the verdicts had taken so long.
Dante Jimenez told the AFP news agency some of the survivors had died in the time it had taken to hear the case.
"This reflects how rotten the justice system is," he said.
A court official told AFP that those convicted had 15 days to appeal, and added that she did not know where any of the nine were.
Those who died in the fire were mostly students celebrating the end of the academic year.
They could not escape the fire because emergency exits were blocked by other buildings.
Officials at the time described it as the deadliest fire in Philippine history.
The Philippines has poor safety standards and large fires are relatively common - particularly in slum areas.

People who become seriously ill overnight in North Somerset could be sent to hospital in Bristol or Taunton.

It is one of the ideas put out for public consultation by the area's clinical commissioning group because of funding and staffing problems.
The plan would affect people who suffer major trauma, heart attacks and strokes between 22:00 and 08:00.
Those with broken bones, or needing stitches, would still be seen and treated in Weston General.
The overnight A&E plan will mean those needing urgent care in a specialist unit would be sent to Southmead Hospital, Bristol Royal Infirmary, or Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital.
An alternative plan is to expand Weston's critical care unit to make it more efficient by investing in more staffing and resources.
The consultation will run for eight weeks before any decisions are made.
Dr Mary Backhouse, chief clinical officer at NHS North Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group, said it was also looking at increasing other operations provided in Weston.
"Weston has four really good operating theatres - they've got all the technical facilities that we need for a whole range of operations.
"At the moment people go to a variety of places and we want to make sure as many people can have surgery there," she said.
The commissioning group said by offering more capacity for non-complex surgery, it could boost its share of NHS funding and enable more people to be treated closer to home.
The group wants feedback by 6 April.


Labour's shadow equality minister Kate Osamor has withdrawn an advert for an unpaid intern blaming a "misunderstanding" in her office.

The position, in her Edmonton constituency office, will now be re-advertised with a Â£9.40 an hour salary.
"Kate does not believe in paying anyone less than the London Living Wage," a spokeswoman said.
Ms Osamor, who was promoted to Labour's front bench in Jeremy Corbyn's reshuffle, campaigns against low pay.
The original advertisement, on the W4MP jobs board, for a constituency intern, listed responsibilities including " community-based projects relating to the constituency", gathering and evaluating data and "general administrative support".
It asked for degree-level qualifications, "enthusiasm" and "commitment to the full duration of the role". The salary was listed as "expenses" and it was described as a "voluntary role".
The advert was withdrawn after Ms Osamor, who entered Parliament in May's general election, came under fire from campaigners in an International Business Times article. Tanya De Grunwald, a campaigner for fair internships and founder of careers website Graduate Fog it was "astonishing" that MPs were still failing to connect the dots between their political principles and their own hiring practices.
Ms De Grunwald said it was "great" that the ad had been taken down but she said it was "disappointing that mistakes like this are still happening when surely everyone is aware of how unfair unpaid internships are by now. When you post an ad for an unpaid role you should know in your gut that it's wrong."
She said MPs needed to "sort out proper processes for hiring these roles so errors and misunderstandings like this can't happen".


A man stabbed to death in what police described as a "brutal attack" involving a fight between two men has been identified.

Jakub Gorski, 19, was found with a stab wound to the chest in Hope Street, Higher Broughton, at about 19:45 BST on Friday evening.
He was taken to hospital where he later died.
On Sunday Greater Manchester Police arrested a fourth man on suspicion of murder.
Three other men, aged 26, 26 and 49, who were also questioned over the killing have been bailed.
Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
He said: "Jakub's death has left a gaping hole in his family, who are understandably devastated by the loss of their young son and brother.
"To lose a child in such violent circumstances must be incredibly difficult to come to terms with, and my officers and I offer our most sincere condolences to the Gorski family at this time.
"We are doing everything we can to ensure we bring those responsible for his untimely death to justice, and the public can assist us in this task."


Iraqi forces are securing their foothold in the city of Mosul, moving from house to house to clear areas of Islamic State (IS) militants.

Soldiers and special forces paused their advance on Wednesday, a day after pushing into the eastern outskirts.
A BBC journalist says they are moving with caution, amid fears of ambushes, secret tunnels and booby traps.
Meanwhile, an aid agency has warned that the lives of civilians in Mosul are "in grave danger".
Wolfgang Gressmann of the Norwegian Refugee Council said its staff were "now bracing... for the worst" as the battle for the city intensified.
"The lives of 1.2 million civilians are in grave danger, and the future of all of Iraq is now in the balance," he added.
Elite Counter-Terrorism Service troops retook the eastern Kukjali area and reached the more built-up Karama district, on Tuesday, having entered the city for the first time since it was overrun by IS in June 2014.
The BBC's Ian Pannell, who was travelling with them, says those militants who chose to stand and fight were killed while others fled deeper into the city.
The Iraqi military said that units from the army's ninth armoured division and first division had also entered the Judaydat al-Mufti district, to the south-east, after capturing several outlying villages.
On Wednesday, a senior CTS officer, Brig Gen Haider Fadhil, told the Associated Press that they had paused their advance because poor weather was hampering visibility.
They are also waiting for reinforcements before attempting to push into the city centre, our correspondent says.
For now, troops are now moving from house to house, making the ground secure for the civilians who are still there, he adds.
Families who spoke to the BBC said they had been living in a state of fear under IS. For the women, in particular, there was a tentative sense of relief.
One said she had left her home only twice in the last two years and that she would have been beaten for even hanging her washing out on the roof.
Some 50,000 Iraqi security forces, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, Sunni Arab tribesmen and Shia militiamen are involved in the operation to take back Mosul, which began on 17 October.
The operation is receiving air and ground support from the US-led multinational coalition against IS.


Sligo's Showgrounds is emerging as the most likely venue to stage Derry City's Europa League games next summer.

With the Brandywell being redeveloped in 2017, Derry City's home domestic games will be played at Maginn Park in the Inishowen town of Buncrana.
However, with Maginn Park not equipped to stage European ties, Derry will have to find another Europa League venue.
Derry have made overtures about staging Europa ties in the GAA venue Celtic Park but this is highly unlikely.
While Croke Park staged rugby and football internationals between 2007 and 2010 on a temporary basis as the new Aviva Stadium was being built at Lansdowne Road, GAA rules still forbid other of the association's grounds being used for sports other than gaelic games.
Clare club St Joseph's Milton Malbay attempted to change this rule at this year's GAA Congress but their proposal was overwhelmingly rejected.
Derry's first home League game at Maginn Park will take place on Sunday, 5 March.
Sunday is Derry's prepared choice for home fixtures and in all, they will play nine Sunday home fixtures.
The Candystripes will open their season with an away game against Bohemians at Dalymount Park on Friday, 24 February.


Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill has said she wants an election if talks to form an executive fail by Friday.

She said discussions have entered a critical period, and there was little prospect of achieving agreement if fundamental issues are not addressed.
Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire has given the parties until 18 April to reach a deal.
Snap elections on 2 March resulted in Sinn Féin coming within one seat of the Democratic Unionist Party.
Mr Brokenshire recently stated that there was "no appetite for another election".
The current round of talks has entered its second week with little sign of progress towards achieving a deal between the main parties.
Speaking at Stormont, Mrs O'Neill said that "post-Friday, I think it's over to the electorate to have their say".
Mrs O'Neill, Sinn Féin's northern leader, said they needed to see "a different approach from the DUP and, indeed, from the British government".
However, DUP leader Arlene Foster said: "There does not seem to be a coming together between the two parties."
The former first minister said  Sinn Féin was "continuing to put forward party political demands".
She said she was "an optimist" but having seen some of the articles in the press recently "we doubted that they wanted a deal".
"It is they who have decided that they want to pursue their narrow political agenda," Mrs Foster added.
The SDLP leader, Colum Eastwood, called for "a recommitment to the Good Friday Agreement" on its 19th anniversary.
He said he "got the feeling that some people are going through the motions".
Singling out the DUP for criticism, Mr Eastwood said that the party "haven't quite got the fact that things have changed" since last month's elections, and he called for respect for other people's identities.
The new Ulster Unionist leader, Robin Swann, said fresh elections would "actually be an insult to the people who voted".
Mr Swann said he was "a born optimist, and at this minute even I'm finding it difficult to keep up that positive vibe".
He said he thought an agreement was "still achievable", but if it were to be a deal between two parties for the benefit of two parties, "let it be an executive of two parties".
As the parties continued talking on Monday the mood music remained downbeat.
There is little sign of agreement, and the atmosphere between the two larger parties, Sinn Féin and the DUP, does not seem to be very good.
Of the smaller parties, Alliance says another election will solve nothing, and the SDLP says that, while it does not fear an election, a deal could, and should be done this week.
The talks will continue on Tuesday, but, as we move towards the Friday deadline, the signs are that this process is in trouble and there is little indication that the talking will lead to a deal.
Mr Brokenshire told MPs in Westminster last month that he did not want to see a return of direct rule from London, but that he had to keep all options open.
He added that he would legislate on Northern Ireland's future when Westminster returns after Easter.
Northern Ireland's two biggest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin, blamed each other for the failure of initial talks.
The political deadlock came after a snap election on 2 March brought an end to Stormont's unionist majority and the DUP's lead over Sinn Féin was cut from 10 seats to one.
Under Northern Ireland's power-sharing agreement, the executive must be jointly run by unionists and nationalists, with the largest party putting forward a candidate for first minister.
Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness quit as deputy first minister in January in protest against the DUP's handling of a botched green energy scheme.
The party said it would not share power with Mrs Foster as first minister until the conclusion of a public inquiry into the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.
Mr McGuinness died last month at the age of 66.


Two 14-year-olds are due in court accused of murdering a woman and her daughter in Lincolnshire.

They were detained after the bodies were found at a house in Dawson Avenue in Spalding on Friday.
Elizabeth Edwards, 49, and daughter Katie, 13, are understood to have died but they have not been formally named.
The teenagers are due before Lincoln Magistrates' Court. They are believed to be a boy and a girl, but police have not confirmed this.
Post-mortem examinations on the victims are due to be carried out shortly.
Det Ch Insp Martin Holvey, who is leading the inquiry, has appealed for anyone who was in the Dawson Avenue area from about midday on Wednesday 13 April to the same time on Friday to contact the police.
He added: "Our officers will continue to carry out inquiries in the locality and local uniformed officers will also be in the area.
"If you have any concerns please don't hesitate to talk to them."
Neighbours said that they had last seen Ms Edwards, a dinner lady at a local primary school, on Tuesday.
Posting on Facebook, Ms Edwards' partner Graham Green wrote: "My babe has gone but you will always be in my heart forever and ever and ever.
"The lady meant the world to me, she was my rock. Katie, so young, lots of good times in front of us been taken away r.i.p."
A friend of Katie's described her as being "like a sister" and Ms Edwards as a second mother.


A woman unwittingly wore an engagement ring hidden inside a necklace by her partner for a year and a half.
Anna only found out her boyfriend Terry had hidden the ring in the piece of jewellery when he broke it open to propose to her at Smoo Cave in the Scottish Highlands.
The large coastal cave complex near Durness in Sutherland had been on a "bucket list" of places the Australian couple wanted to visit.
Anna and Terry have asked for their surnames to be kept out of the public domain because of the media attention their engagement has attracted since telling family and friends.
While Terry proposed to his girlfriend back in November last year, it has only now started to gain worldwide interest from news websites and magazines.
Terry made the necklace from Tasmanian Huon pine and the inside of a sea shell. It was hollow inside and this was where the ring was hidden.
He gave the necklace to Anna as a gift to mark the first anniversary of their relationship.
Terry said: "She wore it every day and everywhere we went, and pretty much never took it off.
"There were some occasions where I was really worried.
"At one point, I thought she was going to trade it with a blacksmith at a market - the blacksmith loved the necklace, and she loved the blacksmith's work - but luckily I didn't need to crash tackle her.
"My biggest moment of panic was when we went through airport security the first time. I hadn't thought about the fact that she might be asked to put it through the x-ray, which could have very quickly turned into an airport security proposal."
When they finally visited Smoo Cave, Terry came up with a story to get Anna to take the necklace off and break the pendant open to reveal the ring.
Terry said: "She stood there dazed for a second, trying to work out what was going on, and then it dawned and she said 'yes' with all the excitement in the world.
"After she calmed down she suddenly stopped moving, stared at me and said: 'Wait... it's been in there the entire time?!! I could have lost it you idiot'.
"She was quite a hilarious mix of happy and angry."


More people are coming forward to report allegations of rape and sexual crime to the police, according to new figures.

Figures from Police Scotland show that the overall level of crime has fallen by 10%
Despite this fall, there were rises in the number of sexual crimes and rapes reported.
Reports of violent crime and anti-social behaviour also fell over the past year.
Police Scotland said the rise in reported rapes and sexual crimes did not necessarily mean more of these types of crimes were being committed, but that people were becoming more confident at speaking out.
In the first full year of Scotland's single police force the number of alleged rapes being reported to the authorities increased by more than a fifth to almost 1,700 while the level of sexual crimes recorded rose by 11.8%.
A quarter of all sexual crime reported to police was historic and almost a quarter of rape victims were under 15 years of age at the time the crime was alleged to have happened.
Det Supt Louise Raphael, lead officer for the National Rape Task Force, said: "Our assessment is that people are becoming more confident in speaking out, often regarding incidents which happened some time prior to contact being made with the police or other organisations.
"Changes to the legal definition of rape, the way we work with partners and improvements in the way we now investigate these crimes has influenced the number and type of cases we are seeing."
The data also showed that police had become more efficient in investigating these crimes with more than 75% of these cases being detected by officers.
Scotland's Chief Constable Sir Stephen House said: "The data clearly shows rises in sexual crime including the number of rape cases reported to us and investigated.
"We said from the outset of the single service that such crimes were under-reported and that we wanted to instil confidence in those who suffer at the hands of sexual offenders or domestic abusers.
"Police Scotland will continue to work strongly with partners to provide a united approach to addressing the issue of rape and domestic abuse."
He added: "We must tackle the offenders to reduce the number of victims we see day in, day out coming to us to report some horrendous crimes.
"These are crimes which occur across Scotland, in every community, with victims and offenders from all backgrounds. "
The statistics also showed that while the number of domestic abuse incidents fell by 1.8% to 58,976, the proportion of these resulting in a crime report rose to 57.6%.
Violent crime, including assault, robbery and attempted murder decreased by a total of 10%, although the number of murders remained the same as the previous year at 56.
Domestic abuse also continued to make up almost a quarter of violent crime recorded with one in four common assaults related to domestic abuse.
The amount of anti-social behaviour, vandalism and disorder also fell over the past 12 months.
The figures also showed that there were fewer road collisions and fewer people injured on Scotland's road network.
However, there was an increase in the number of people killed in collisions, with 191 people killed, an increase of 24 from the previous year.
The report also showed that efforts to tackle to tackle organised crime in Scotland had resulted in 2,677 arrests linked to serious organised crime with the Proceeds of Crime Act recoveries totalling Â£82m in cash and restraints.
Sir Stephen House concluded: "The publication of our management information today provides a 12 month profile of crime, offences and incidents across the country.
"Regardless of where or when a crime has taken place Police Scotland is committed to keeping people safe and will continue with every effort to provide routes for victims to come forward and ensure there are no hiding places for offenders."


A romantic drama about Barack Obama's first date with future wife Michelle is among the titles set to be screened at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.

Southside With You recreates the summer afternoon in 1989 when the future US president wooed his future First Lady, then Michelle Robinson, in Chicago.
Other films in the line-up include Swiss Army Man, a road movie in which Daniel Radcliffe plays a corpse.
Sundance's 2016 edition runs from 21 to 31 January in Park City, Utah.
The annual cinema showcase was founded by actor Robert Redford to promote independent movie-making.
Ellen Page, Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss and pop singer Nick Jonas are among the established names who appear in other films featured in the programme.
The event will open on 21 January with Other People, a film about a struggling comedy writer who returns to his childhood home to care for his sick mother.
This year's festival will see US actors Nate Parker and Clea DuVall unveil their feature directorial debuts, respectively entitled The Birth of a Nation and The Intervention.
The former is a biopic of Nat Turner, the leader of an 1831 slave revolt in Virginia, while the latter tells of friends who join forces to "save" a couple's marriage.
Documentaries included in the line-up include films about James Foley, the US journalist killed by the so-called Islamic State in 2014, and another about the Sandy Hook shootings of December 2012.
The world documentary strand, meanwhile, will host the premiere of The Lovers and the Despot, a British film about a South Korean director and actress who claimed to have been kidnapped by North Korean dictator and cinephile Kim Jong-il.
"From diverse backgrounds, places and perspectives, these independent artists are united by the power of their stories and vision," said Redford in a statement.
"Their films will soon launch onto the global stage, beginning their journeys through our culture. A new year in independent film will start right here - on the mountain - in January."
Recent success stories to have made their debuts at Sundance include Beasts of the Southern Wild, Fruitvale Station and 2015 Oscar-winner Whiplash.


A tycoon has been ordered to pay almost £1m for damage caused to ancient woodland in Cumbria.

Philip Day, owner of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill chain, tried to use the "power of his wealth to avoid responsibility", a court heard.
He was fined £450,000 and ordered to pay prosecution costs of about £457,000 after admitting two counts of damaging Gelt Woods on his land near Brampton.
Day, 47, will appeal against the sentence, a spokesman said.
Trees were felled and land excavated in order to build an access track.
Day, whose firm has a turnover of £240m, had claimed the work was being carried out to make a riverbank safe after a landslip.
The Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is protected due its age and the form of gorge woodland, a type peculiar to north Cumbria and parts of Scotland.
Natural England brought the prosecution.
The woodland has become an important habitat for flora, fauna, insects and birds on the slopes around the banks of the River Gelt where the water has cut a rocky gorge through the sandstone.
Prosecutors at Carlisle Crown Court said the track was created in November 2010 to provide access for shooting.
Presiding Judge Peter Hughes QC, who gave his judgment at Carlisle Crown Court on Wednesday, said Day had been "grossly negligent" in relation to the works.
Janette Ward, Natural England's regulation director, said: "Legal action is always regrettable, and we were disappointed that a woodland of such ecological importance, and one that was very special to the local community, was so severely damaged."
A spokesman for Day said: "As acknowledged by the judge in this case, Philip Day did not deliberately set out to damage a SSSI.
"Mr Day is passionate about the countryside and committed to conservation. He was shocked to find that damage had been caused to the site by contractors."
The spokesman added that a full restoration programme had been completed over two years ago and the fine was "nine times the amount imposed for previous similar offences".


Former Manchester United and Northern Ireland footballer George Best died in hospital at the age of 59 after suffering multiple organ failure on 25 November 2005.

He is remembered for his dazzling skill on the pitch and for his champagne lifestyle away from it.
Best once said: "I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one."
Ten years on from his death we look back at his life.


An investigation into complaints of abuse at a former Suffolk boarding school has reopened, 20 years after the initial inquiry.

Suffolk police has recovered the original case files relating to Kesgrave Hall and is contacting people who claimed to have been abused.
No charges were brought as a result of the investigation in 1992.
Kesgrave Hall, a privately-owned school near Ipswich for pupils with behavioural problems, closed in 1993.
Children were placed there by local education authorities.
An allegation of mistreatment at the school was made to police earlier this month.
"Suffolk Police have now begun an investigation into other complaints of abuse," a police spokesperson said.
"We are now in the process of contacting those who alleged abuse as part of the original investigation to ensure that we have captured all relevant complaints and a full and thorough investigation can be carried out."
The allegations dated back to the 1980s and 1990s.
