A motorcylist was killed when his bike was involved in a collision with a van in Angus.

The crash happened in Ferryden, near Montrose, at about 13:45 on Monday.
The rider of the Honda bike died at the scene. The driver and passenger of a white Peugeot van were uninjured.
Police said Craig Road would be closed for some time while an investigation was carried out and drivers were urged to find alternative routes.
Officers urged witnesses to contact them using the 101 number.
The name of the dead man will not be released until relatives have been informed and a formal identification has been made.
A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.


At least 44 people in China have been killed in an explosion after a leaking oil pipeline caught fire in the city of Qingdao, state media has reported.

Xinhua quoted officials who said workers were trying to repair the pipeline at the time of Friday's blast.
Pictures of the scene showed shattered concrete slabs and black smoke rising. More than 100 firefighters were involved in putting out the fire.
The pipeline is owned by Sinopec, China's largest oil refiner.
The leak was spotted early on Friday, and the explosion happened several hours later, the Qingdao government said on its official microblog.
"We will investigate the incident with responsibility and give timely reports," Sinopec said in a statement quoted by the Associated Press news agency.
A man quoted by Xinhua said he had only seen something similar to the blast "in a disaster film".
The authorities have ruled out terrorism but say the incident remains under investigation.
Correspondents say that the blast ripped roads apart, turned cars over and sent thick black smoke billowing over the eastern coastal city.
Reports say that the number of dead could rise - at least 136 people were injured.
Because the scene of Friday morning's explosion was close to the coast, barriers were been erected to stop oil leaking into the sea, reports said.


Three youths have been arrested over the stabbing of four teenagers in Clydebank.

The attack happened in a lane between Great Western Road and the Auchentoshan Estate at about 01:30 on Saturday 21 November.
Three of the victims were 15 and two were left with life-threatening injuries. The other victim was 18.
Two 16-year-old boys and a 15-year-old boy are expected to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Tuesday.


A former US undercover agent involved in an investigation into the dark web marketplace Silk Road has admitted a series of crimes.

Carl Force, 46, faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of extortion, money-laundering and obstruction of justice.
He stole more than $700,000 (Â£448,000) in the digital currency Bitcoin.
Force also secretly solicited payment from the marketplace's operator for information about the US investigation.
During the course of the investigation, the former US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent posed as a drug dealer with connections to hit-men using the alias Nob.
He was given the task of communicating with Ross Ulbricht, the man who was subsequently jailed for life for running Silk Road, prosecutors said.
According to a government document, Force convinced Ulbricht, who went by the alias Dread Pirate Roberts, to pay him $50,000 in Bitcoin by pretending he had information about the investigation in August 2013.
While Force reported the discussion to the DEA, he falsely claimed no payment had been made, while diverting the funds to a personal account, prosecutors said.
Force, also without the authorities' knowledge, used another online moniker French Maid and offered Ulbricht information on the investigation for about $98,000 in Bitcoin in September that year.
He appeared in a San Francisco federal court on Wednesday wearing an orange jumpsuit and leg shackles.
Among the crimes he confessed to, Force said he had agreed to a contract with 21st Century Fox last year to help make a film about the Silk Road investigation, without the permission of his supervisors. That deal called for him to be paid up to $240,000.
The firm has not responded to a request for comment.
Force also invested in a company that brokered Bitcoin and served as its chief compliance officer while still with the DEA.
During his time with the company, Force used his position to seize $300,000 from a customer and transfer it to his private account, authorities said.
US district judge Richard Seeborg accepted Force's guilty plea on Wednesday and scheduled his sentencing for October.
Speaking outside court, Force's lawyer Ivan Bates said: "He had a stellar, 15-year career with the DEA except for this one blip." Inside the court, Bates said his client suffered from anxiety and depression.
Silk Road operated for more than two years until it was shut down in October 2013, generating more than $214m in sales of drugs and other illicit goods using Bitcoin, prosecutors said.
Ulbricht was himself sentenced in May after a federal jury in Manhattan found him guilty of several charges, including distributing drugs using the internet.
Prosecutors have also reached a plea agreement with Shaun Bridges, a former Secret Service agent who was charged along with Force in March with stealing Bitcoin during the investigation. He is scheduled to enter his plea in August.
A lawyer for Ulbricht has said those charges removed "any question about the corruption that pervaded the investigation of Silk Road".
Force and Bridges belonged to the same Baltimore-based federal task force that investigated Silk Road.


A 20-year-old woman injured in the Alton Towers rollercoaster crash has had her leg amputated, her lawyer says.

Vicky Balch, from Lancashire, had her right leg amputated below the knee following seven rounds of surgery.
She was injured when the theme park's Smiler ride crashed into an empty carriage in front of it on 2 June.
Days after the crash, it emerged that Leah Washington, 17, had to have a leg amputated above the knee. Other riders sustained serious leg injuries.
Miss Balch's lawyer Paul Paxton said: "Vicky has had a long and incredibly painful fight to retain her leg. Regrettably, her bravery has not been rewarded.
"The step was taken to remove the leg following seven bouts of surgery. Further surgery will be required in the immediate future, which may involve a more acute amputation."
Miss Balch, from Leyland, was sitting in the front of the ride alongside Miss Washington, Joe Pugh and Daniel Thorpe, when it hit an empty carriage.
Miss Balch has spoken of her ordeal, saying she thought she was going to die.
"It felt like slow motion. We banged into the car in front. I felt the bars go into my knees; we moved backwards and the car went into us again," she told the BBC.
"I passed out. I was awoken by Dan shouting my name. Everyone was screaming and I was in excruciating pain. I looked down and I could see blood all over. The bars were in my right knee...
"The only thought that was going through my mind for the hours and hours that we were stuck was that we were going to die. If I was going to survive I would never walk again, that was certain.
"I thought it was never going to end. I just wanted to die."
A total of 16 people were injured in the collision.
Eight of the victims have received interim payments to help with their rehabilitation, according to the law firm representing them.
Merlin Entertainment, which owns Alton Towers, has said it has contacted those injured and all 16 will receive compensation.


The film industry and fans around the world have been paying tribute to the US actress and author Carrie Fisher, who has died aged 60 after a cardiac arrest.

She was best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars series.
Stars Wars' creator George Lucas said: "She was our great and powerful princess. She will be missed by all."
"Thank you Carrie Fisher for all that you've given us," tweeted the US Academy of Motion Picture Arts.
Her fellow Star Wars actor Mark Hamill called the news "downright heartbreaking," adding "Carrie was one-of-a-kind who belonged to us all - whether she liked it or not".
In New York, fans Eric and Elizabeth McCabe spoke of their shock at the news.
"She's a hero and will always be remembered as such," said Elizabeth McCabe.
"We grew up watching Star Wars and actually she looked pretty good in the last movie. We didn't realise that her health was so bad. It's really upsetting," added Eric.
Carrie Fisher's mother, the actress Debbie Reynolds, wrote on her Facebook page: "Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop."
Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford described Fisher as "brilliant, original, funny and emotionally fearless".
Fisher's ex-husband, singer Paul Simon added: "Yesterday was a horrible day. Carrie was a special, wonderful girl. It's too soon."
Writer and actress Sharon Horgan, who cast Fisher as a cantankerous mother-in-law in the hit comedy series Catastrophe also expressed her sorrow at Fisher's death, calling her "fun, gifted, smart, kind, funny, funny, funny".
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, actor Warwick Davis - who played Wicket the Ewok opposite Fisher in Return of the Jedi - called her "a funny, warm person... who was very unaffected by fame".
Davis, who was just 12 when he played the role, added Fisher "had no airs and graces, I never saw her wanting to be treated like a celebrity."
Fans of the actress have been sharing stories with the BBC about meeting her, including John Moore, who remembers discussing mental health problems which she has admitted suffering.
"She has inspired me by teaching me that just because you're a little broken or a little different you can still be an inspiration and shine like she did.  She was honest about her health issues and was just herself.
"She taught me to not feel embarrassed or a lesser person just because you sometimes struggle to get through the day.  Her death has hit me hard but it also makes me feel so proud to have been like her, different."
The fans' princess
Fisher had been on tour promoting her latest book, The Princess Diarist, when she was taken ill as her flight back from London neared Los Angeles last Friday.
In a statement released on behalf of Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd, spokesman Simon Halls said: "It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8.55 (16:55 GMT) this morning [Tuesday]."
The daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher made her film debut opposite Warren Beatty in 1975's Shampoo.
She also appeared in The Blues Brothers, When Harry Met Sally and Hannah and Her Sisters, and provided the voice of Peter Griffin's boss Angela in the adult animated sitcom Family Guy.
But her enduring fame is thanks to her role as Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, a part she reprised in last year's reboot The Force Awakens.
Discussing the part, she told the Daily Mail in 2011 that when she got the role in a "little science-fiction film", she just thought of it as a bit of fun.
"It exploded across the firmament of pop culture, taking all of us along with it. It tricked me into becoming a star all on my own."
She was also a successful writer, publishing several novels and memoirs, and working on the scripts for films like The Wedding Singer and Sister Act.
Her latest memoir, The Princess Diarist, contained revelations of an affair with Harrison Ford while the pair were shooting the first Star Wars film in 1976.
Fisher endured a difficult private life, and discussed her years of mental illness and drug addiction in interviews and writing. An early memoir was called Wishful Drinking.


The Malaysian Grand Prix will be the country's last after 19 years on the Formula 1 calendar.

The decision, announced by F1 commercial boss Sean Bratches, comes after the country's government questioned the value of the race.
The American said that the F1 calendar would have 21 races in 2018, despite the loss of the south-east Asian event.
The French Grand Prix returns after a 10-year absence and Germany is back on after dropping off in 2017.
Malaysia was in the vanguard of the new races that came to define Bernie Ecclestone's final years in charge of the sport.
A state-of-the-art facility was built and the race funded with government money as the country sought to make a name for itself on the global stage.
Similar events followed the same pattern in Bahrain, China, Abu Dhabi, Russia and Azerbaijan.
Malaysia had struggled in recent years to attract a significant crowd, its appeal damaged by the more glamorous night-time event on a street track in Singapore, which made its debut in 2008.
It was confirmed in November that the race would end after the 2018 staging, but that decision has now been brought forward.
The country's prime minister, Najib Razak, said: "The Cabinet has agreed to end the contract after considering lowering returns to the country compared to the cost of hosting the championships."


A man has been assaulted and robbed in an overnight raid on his home in Dumfries and Galloway.

The 46-year-old was attacked at about 01:00 on Friday in his house in Hoddom Court in Ecclefechan. The two men who assaulted him escaped with cash.
Their victim sustained minor injuries but was released after treatment at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.
Police have been carrying out door-to-door inquiries in the village and are CCTV images.
The suspects are described as being white. One is 5'9" to 5'10" tall, of stocky build and was wearing a dark jacket. The other man was slightly taller, of heavier build and was wearing a fluorescent yellow jacket.
Det Insp Scott Young said: "Officers are currently in the process of carrying out door to door inquiries as well as retrieving CCTV from a number of different locations throughout the village with a view of identifying who is responsible for this crime.
"This was a cowardly act which was made even worse due to the fact the victim's 11-year-old son was in the house at the time. He was not injured.
"Thankfully, incidents such as this are extremely rare in Annandale and Eskdale and we are determined to catch those who are responsible."
He added: "From our inquiries, we know that around 0100 hours on the Friday morning, three men were seen in a dark coloured vehicle in nearby Hoddom Road. We are keen to identify the make of this vehicle and those who were using it at the time."


Ghana withstood intense second-half pressure to beat Mali 1-0 and reach the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals.

Andre Ayew fired wide from six yards before Asamoah Gyan headed in the opener as Ghana started well.
Mali's Moussa Marega missed two good chances with a header and a shot, and Razak Brimah superbly saved Kalifa Coulibaly's volley late on.
The win puts Ghana into the last-eight with a game to spare, while Mali must beat Uganda to keep their hopes alive.
Egypt need a point against Ghana in the last round of Group D games to join them in the quarter-finals, after the Pharaohs knocked out Uganda.
It could have been very different for Mali had they taken some of the chances they created in the second half.
As well as those misses from Marega and Coulibaly, Mali threatened with efforts from Salif Coulibaly, who drove just wide, and Hamari Traore, whose 20-yard volley was not far away from the top corner.
They also had a last-gasp appeal for a penalty turned down.
Ghana, who were in total control in the first half, were run ragged after the interval - and their split-personality performance will be a major concern for coach Avram Grant.
Mali must find a way to finish off their opportunities - they have yet to score at the tournament - if they are to have any chance of avoiding a group-stage exit.
The Ghana skipper became his country's all-time top scorer in the competition with eight goals, overtaking Osei Kofi. He is also the first player to score at six consecutive Nations Cup finals.
Gyan and his team-mates celebrated his goal with a choreographed dance routine and the striker then held up a t-shirt which carried on it a get well message for Baba Rahman, who is out of the tournament because of injury.

Crewe Alexandra manager Steve Davis says any players who are not prepared to battle to keep their side in League One can leave, reports BBC Radio Stoke.

The Alex remain bottom of the table, now 12 points adrift of safety with six matches left, following Saturday's 3-0 loss at Peterborough - their fifth straight defeat.
And Davis admits some players have begun to "throw in the towel".
"We want people who are prepared to fight for the shirt," he said.
"If they're not, they can go. The one thing I want them to do is fight and for the first time this season there was a lack of that.
"Players were being allowed to run through unchallenged, and they were not winning their tackles. It's the first time I've seen some of them throw in the towel.
"We saw the first signs of that from quite a few of them, and that will never happen while I'm here."
Crewe's survival hopes have hinged for a while on the fact that they remain in their own hands, with their final four matches all against the four sides immediately above them.
But that would count for nothing if they fail to get anything from their next two matches, away to local rivals Port Vale and at home to Scunthorpe.
"Mathematically, we've still got a chance," added Davis. "But it's going to take a hell of a turn round on performance as what we did at Peterborough was not good enough.
"There are not many playing anywhere near to their potential."
Davis took the Alex up to League Two via the play-offs in 2012 - just six months after taking over when Dario Gradi retired as manager for the third and final time.


BBC Northern Ireland has won five awards at the Celtic Media Festival.

In the history category, the film Eoin Mac Néill: Fear Dearmadta 1916, was first and also won gold in the Spirit of the Festival Award.
The film was made by DoubleBand Films for BBC Northern Ireland and TG4, with support from Northern Ireland Screen's Irish Language Broadcast Fund.
It tells the story of scholar and politician Eoin Mac Néill who co-founded the Gaelic League in 1893.
The documentary examines Mac Néill's most controversial decision - when he tried to stop the Easter Rising by issuing a countermanding order.
Crash And Burn was named best sports documentary. The film, made by Dot Television for the BBC and RTÉ, charts the rise and fall of racing driver Tommy Byrne, who in the 1980s was, for a fleeting moment, considered one of the greats in his field.
Voices 16, an ambitious BBC Northern Ireland project marking the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme across BBC online, television and social media, won the Kieran Hegarty Award For Innovation.
Blas Ceoil, presented by Lynette Fay, won best Radio Music Programme (Live) for a broadcast from the Millennium Forum in Derry.
Line of Duty, written by Jed Mercurio and starring Adrian Dunbar, Vicky McClure and Martin Compton, was awarded best Drama Series for its third series.
BBC Northern Ireland director Peter Johnston said: "Last year was eventful and ambitious and the accolades awarded to BBC Northern Ireland content are testament to the hard work, talent and dedication of the teams responsible."
The festival was held in Douglas, Isle of Man, from Wednesday 3 May to Friday 5 May.


The sister of a woman killed in the Birmingham pub bombings has called for the arrest of Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.

Julie Hambleton, whose sister Maxine died in the 1974 attack, said she was "outraged" the ex-IRA commander was part of the first ever Irish state visit to the UK.
"He's got so much blood on his hands... he should be arrested," she said.
Mr McGuinness was unavailable for comment.
Ms Hambleton was part of a group of protestors who were demonstrating outside Windsor Castle ahead of a state banquet which is being attended by Mr McGuinness.
She said his attendance was "the epitome of hypocrisy" and she was angry that the British establishment had given him "permission to come on to the mainland".
Ms Hambleton said she did not believe it was the Queen's own decision to invite Mr McGuinness.
Mr McGuinness's visit comes after it was announced on Monday that no new inquiry would be launched into the pub bombings after a re-examination of the evidence.
West Midlands Police said it had found "no new evidence that would assist us in bringing anyone to justice".
Twenty-one people were killed and 182 injured when two bombs exploded at the Mulberry Bush and the Tavern in the Town in November 1974.
Six men were jailed in 1975 but their convictions were quashed in 1991.


Leon Clarke scored twice against his former club as Bury moved up to fifth in League One with victory over Coventry City at Gigg Lane.

Clarke sidefooted home to give the Shakers a 19th-minute lead before doubling it with a 51st-minute penalty.
Sky Blues defender Reda Johnson pulled one back 11 minutes later when he headed home Tom Armstrong's corner.
However, Bury held on for their fourth straight win to go level on points with the Sky Blues.
Bury manager David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester:
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I'm sick of hearing people tell me that 'we're getting outplayed but we keep losing'.
"We're doing something at this football club that's creating a new future.
"Winning football matches is something that takes a hell of a lot of work."
Sky Blues boss Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:
"It would be churlish of me to comment on a referee after a defeat.  It would have been nice if we'd have won and I could talk about the referee, but we didn't so I don't think it's the right time for me to comment on the referee's performance.
"The penalty? It was a really poor decision, and they change games. And I was unhappy with the first goal. The naivety was ridiculous.
"I'm not sure I could have asked more of us in the second half in terms of chances created, but we probably lacked the quality to finish them off."


The Scottish Salmon Company has lowered its forecast for the amount of fish it expects to harvest this year, after facing "challenging conditions" in the second quarter.

The firm had previously expected to harvest 30,000 tonnes in 2015.
But it said a combination of "market factors and biological challenges" meant the annual total could be 10% less than envisaged.
However, it added export levels reached 49% of output for the first time.
The second quarter saw revenues fall year-on-year from Â£33.8m to Â£31.2m, while harvested volumes stood at 7,349 tonnes - down from just over 8,000 tonnes in the first quarter.
The Edinburgh-based company said the results reflected the impact of "unprecedented price volatility, fluctuating exchange rates and lower harvest volumes".
It added that spot prices were high at the start of the year but "fluctuated significantly" in the second period.
Managing director Craig Anderson said: "In the face of challenging conditions, which are being felt across the wider industry, these results reflect a stable performance in the second quarter of 2015.
"With greatly increased supply, fluctuating prices, a strong pound and biological challenges, Q2 (second quarter) proved to be a testing period, but our harvest volumes remain on a par with last year and we are confident about long-term future growth."


Devolved government leaders are pushing for more say in Brexit talks as Prime Minister Theresa May visits Cardiff.

The joint ministerial committee (JMC) includes the leaders from Westminster, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast.
Both Wales and Scotland's governments have proposals which would let them keep full access to the single market.
Mrs May said while they would not agree on all matters, she hoped the discussions would be "constructive".
Downing Street said the meeting showed Mrs May's "commitment to engage with the devolved administrations and to seek a Brexit that works for the whole of the UK".
This is the first time the JMC has met outside London.
Ahead of the visit, Mrs May said: "We will not agree on everything, but that doesn't mean we will shy away from the necessary conversations and I hope we will have further constructive discussions today.
"We have also had the Supreme Court judgement which made clear beyond doubt that relations with the EU are a matter for the UK Government and UK Parliament.
"We should not forget that means MPs representing every community in the UK will be fully involved in the passage of Article 50 through Parliament."
The JMC last met in London in October, when the leaders of the devolved governments were told they must not "undermine" Brexit negotiations and First Minister Carwyn Jones said there was "certainly a great deal of uncertainty" about the UK's position.
Mrs May has offered the Welsh Government a formal seat in talks to shape the UK's EU exit strategy.
Mr Jones said: "Today's meeting is an important opportunity for open and frank discussions about the UK's future post-Brexit.
"While we know that the UK will leave the EU we don't yet know how that will happen or what form our relationship with the EU will look like beyond that point."
Mr Jones has published a plan for Brexit, calling for freedom of movement rules to be linked to whether migrants have a job.
The white paper, launched by Mr Jones and Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood in London, also demanded full single market access.
But Monday's event could be overshadowed by the continuing controversy over President Donald Trump's decision to introduce a 90-day travel ban for nationals from seven mainly-Muslim countries.
On Sunday, Mr Jones criticised what he called Mrs May's slow response to the move, saying "silence and evasion are not the hallmarks of leadership".
Mrs May initially said the USA's immigration policies were a matter for America, not her.
But late on Saturday night, Downing Street clarified the statement to: "Immigration policy in the United States is a matter for the government of the United States. But we do not agree with this kind of approach and it is not one we will be taking."
Mr Jones said he would raise the issue with the prime minister during Monday's meeting.
A small group of anti-Trump protestors, unfurled a banner outside the meeting reading "Deals with the Devil".


The last time Kosovo held a presidential inauguration, in 2011, many of its people found themselves scrambling for information about their new head of state.

A high-ranking but low-profile police official, Afitete Jahjaga was picked when a political crisis led to the need for a non-party, consensus candidate.
In contrast, the new president, Hashim Thaci, needs no introduction in Kosovo on the day of his inauguration. He has been one of the key figures in its recent history.
In the 1990s, he was a leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which fought a guerrilla war against Serbia from 1998-99.

Kosovo profile
Hashim Thaci told the BBC he welcomed the establishment of a tribunal in The Hague to investigate allegations against the KLA - and personally led the process to establish a special court.
"We have nothing to hide. It's an opportunity to deal with the past and move forward, and also a chance to explain that the war was a just struggle."
Ahead of his inauguration, Mr Thaci told the BBC that he was committed to tackling Kosovo's biggest problems.
"My focus will be on the rule of law, fighting organised crime and corruption." To that he added improving regional co-operation and "moving Kosovo towards EU and Nato membership".
But Mr Thaci's history counts against him, as far as his critics are concerned. And those dissenting voices have been particularly prominent in recent months - with opposition politicians repeatedly releasing teargas in parliament in protest at an agreement the new president negotiated with Serbia. That deal would allow majority ethnic-Serb areas of Kosovo a degree of autonomy.
The new president's inauguration will be far from universally acclaimed, according to Besa Shahini, a policy analyst based in the capital, Pristina, who argues that Mr Thaci
"Now he's president, which doesn't have too many executive functions, but it does have a representative function abroad," says Ms Shahini. "To have a man who's failed as a foreign minister, representing the country as president is very problematic."
Kosovo's opposition has pledged to continue to make life in parliament uncomfortable for as long as there is no debate on the agreement with Serbia.
The National Assembly has installed powerful extractor fans to clear tear gas more quickly, but a gas mask is still an essential accessory in the debating chamber.
"Tear gas clarified things in Kosovo; now everyone can see better," says opposition MP Albin Kurti, former leader of the Vetevendosje party. He believes the new president is part of a political elite with authoritarian tendencies.
"The separation of powers is not there in Kosovo at all; the judiciary, executive and legislature are all mixed up. We need a new republic. The path we are on now is illogical."
Mr Thaci disagrees. Stressing that Kosovo is a "normal country", he has promised, to rise above party politics in his new role. Indeed, he hopes to position himself as a unifying figure.
"I will do my best to reach out to all and work in the interests of Kosovo," he says.
For a man like Hashim Thaci that seems a formidable challenge. Kosovo is again in political crisis, but unlike his predecessor, he was not a consensus candidate.


Four cases of norovirus have been confirmed at the World Championships, with 50 people affected by illness.

The virus has affected athletes and officials at the London event.
Dr Deborah Turbitt of Public Health England (PHE) said: "PHE has been working to provide infection control advice to limit the spread of illness."
Botswana's Isaac Makwala was denied entry in Tuesday's 400m final and placed under quarantine for 48 hours as officials tried to contain the virus.


An Argentine ex-police chief and ex-interior minister have both been given life sentences for running a detention and torture centre in the 1970s.

They were among 19 people charged with the kidnap, murder and torture of 128 prisoners in the city of La Plata.
The detention centre also functioned as a maternity unit for pregnant prisoners who gave birth before being executed.
Tens of thousands of Argentines were kidnapped or killed by the military junta between 1976 and 1983.
The former police chief of the province of Buenos Aires, Miguel Etchecolatz, and ex-Interior Minister Jaime Lamont Smart were part of a group of 21 army, navy, police and prison service officers and members of the Buenos Aires provincial government, who ran the centre from 1976 to 1978.
Fifteen of them - including Etchecolatz and Smart- were sentenced to life, with four others receiving sentences ranging from 12 to 13 years.
One suspect was cleared, while another had his sentence suspended for health reasons.
The judge said those convicted were accomplices in a genocide against mostly young, left-wing activists in Argentina between 1976 and 1978.
The detention centre was in an old radio station building on the outskirts of La Plata nicknamed La Cacha after a cartoon witch who abducted small children.
The men were accused of crimes ranging from murder, kidnapping and illegal detention to holding and hiding a child under 10 years of age.
Among the prisoners was the daughter of the head of a leading campaign group, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
Their victims were mostly young, left-wing opponents of Argentina's military junta and also included the father of the present Argentine ambassador to Spain.
The judges heard 130 witnesses over the 10 months of the trial.
Some of the survivors who testified during the trial said they were treated "like dogs".
"We were given sleeping pills, we were held hooded and naked at a warehouse," one of the witnesses, Alberto Alfio Cavalie, said during the trial.
"They used to tie a wire to our toes, it was connected to a machine that gave us electric shocks."
"We could hear the screams of the men and women that were being tortured. I weighed 30 kilos when I was able to leave the centre," he added.
The trial was part of a continuing series of actions against Argentine officers and other officials associated with the military dictatorship.
Legal action began once democracy returned to Argentina in 1983, but President Raul Alfonsin brought an end to the trials in 1986, arguing the country needed to look to the future and not the past.
Three laws granting amnesty for crimes committed during the so-called Dirty War were passed in 1986 and 1987 but were later overturned in 2003.
Since then, a number of high-profile figures from the military regime have been convicted, including the de facto Presidents Jorge Videla and Reynaldo Bignone.
General Videla had already been convicted of homicide, torture and kidnap amongst other crimes in 1985, but he was granted amnesty by President Carlos Menem in 1990.
About 250 convictions have been secured, including that of Alfredo Astiz, who in 2011 was given a life sentence for the part he played in infiltrating left-wing groups and betraying their members to the junta.


Barcelona have "two or three players who transform normal life into art", says Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners went out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage for the sixth straight season after a 5-1 aggregate loss against Barcelona.
The La Liga side's front three of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez were all on target.
"In the final third, Barcelona's passing accuracy and creativity is exceptional," said Wenger.

Match report: Classy Barca too good for Barca
Arsenal missed numerous chances in the game, with Danny Welbeck hitting the woodwork and Alexis Sanchez twice coming close.
Having also gone out of the FA Cup in a shock defeat against Watford last weekend, the Premier League is Arsenal's only hope of a trophy this season. They are currently 11 points behind leaders Leicester with a game in hand.
Wenger feels the result could have been different if they managed to add to Mohamed Elneny's crisp effort in the second half.
"I felt at 1-1 they were wobbling and insecure," said Wenger. "We could not take our chance to score the second goal to put ourselves in a good position.
"We created plenty of dangerous situations and the quality of our game was good.
"When we lost the second goal, we lost the edge. They are an exceptional side."
Messi's delightful dinked finish took his tally to 37 for the season in all competitions, while Neymar netted his 28th and Suarez's superb volley was his 46th goal this term.
"We played against a team who has the best strikers I have seen," added Wenger. "The three together are absolutely exceptional.
"From nothing, they can create a chance, especially Messi. He didn't miss a first touch, no matter where the ball came from.
"At some stage in our sport, we must admire art and they have two or three players who transform normal life into art. I respect that and I believe it is pleasure as well. For me, is it suffering."
Back in early January, Arsenal fans were dreaming of a trophy-laden season.
The Gunners were top of the Premier League, safely into the Champions League last 16 - albeit with Barcelona looming - and making progress into the FA Cup fourth round.
But conceding a late leveller at Liverpool on 13 January proved the catalyst for a dreadful run of form.
Wenger's men have managed to win just two of their nine Premier League matches since, leaving them well adrift of leaders Leicester.
If falling away in the title race is not hard enough for Gunners fans to take, their misery has been compounded by a double cup exit in the space of four days.
Failing to overcome a two-goal deficit against Barcelona may not have been a surprise. But, following Sunday's home quarter-final defeat against Watford, it has done little to ease mounting pressure on Wenger.


People have been using Your Questions to ask us what they want to know about the West Midlands mayor.

You wanted to know what budgetary powers the successful candidate would have.
You asked how much the new role would cost and where the funding originated.
And you wondered which areas would be voting in the elections on 4 May and what would now happen to Lord and borough mayors. Here are some answers to your questions.
The mayor is going to head a West Midlands Combined Authority made up of seven constituent member councils - Birmingham, Coventry, Solihull and all four Black Country boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
If you are resident in a ward within those seven council areas, there will be mayoral elections in your area on 4 May.
There will be no change here - Birmingham's Lord Mayor and the other constituent councils in the West Midlands combined authority will retain their own mayors.
The Lord Mayor, or the borough mayors, usually serve a one-year term of office during which they are designated the first citizen of their borough or city.
They will continue to perform their roles as civic dignitaries, but the difference between their jobs and that of the West Midlands Mayor is the newly-elected candidate has his or her own budget to control across the region.
The board of the West Midlands Combined Authority - which will scrutinise the mayor's decisions once elected - decided at a meeting in March the mayor's office costs would be £388,000.
Included in that is £250,000 to meet costs of four staff, including the mayor's own £79,000 salary.
It is estimated the election on 4 May will cost £4m and that expense and the office costs will be met from the £36m funding from government which is being put under the mayor's control.
The reason the figure is so high and that it's being met from that single funding source is because this is a so-called standalone election, without council ballots being held at the same time.
The mayor's first term, unusually, will run for three years until 2020, so subsequent elections for the role will coincide with council elections to keep costs down.
The mayor will control a £1.1bn investment fund over 30 years, or £36m a year.
That money is handed down from government.
They will have powers over economic development, education and skills, housing and transport - including compulsory purchase powers.
The costs of the mayor's office - for the first 11 months of their tenure - will be covered from the £36m fund, but from April 2018 onwards the office will need to fund itself.
In theory the mayor would have the power to add a mayoral precept to council tax to cover those future costs.

An Ohio woman has been charged with raping a cab driver at knifepoint before she and another man robbed him, according to police.

Brittany Carter, 23, is accused of performing a sex act on the 29-year-old driver while Corey Jackson, 20, allegedly held a knife to his throat.
Police said the pair then stole $32 (Â£26) from the victim before fleeing the scene in the city of Findlay.
"We don't know why she did it," police Lt Robert Ring said.
"Maybe it was a distraction because they took money from him."
The assault unfolded after Ms Carter called the Trinity Express Cab Service in the early hours of 28 January, according to police.
She was arrested after the driver reported the incident.
Ms Carter faces first-degree felony rape and aggravated robbery charges in Hancock County.
She was indicted twice on drug charges in 2016 and is accused of heroin possession.
Mr Jackson remains at large and a warrant has been issued for his arrest, say police.
He is charged with aggravated robbery and complicity to commit rape, both first-degree felonies.


A man being hunted by police after he was suspected of killing two people in their own homes has been arrested.

James Allen, 36, was arrested in south Leeds at 07:20 BST and is being held on suspicion of murder.
Colin Dunford, 81, was found dead in Middlesbrough on Monday and the body of Julie Davison, 50, was found in Whitby on Wednesday.
Cleveland Police and North Yorkshire Police had issued an urgent appeal to find Mr Allen following the killings.
Mr Allen was arrested on his birthday after an off-duty officer saw a man fitting his description.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Milsom, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "An off-duty officer travelling to work this morning saw a man fitting the description of James Allen on Crown Point Road in Leeds.
"They called for colleagues in support who arrived quickly and an arrest was made.
"We would like to thank all members of the community who have been contacting us to assist in this matter."
Mr Dunford, who was last seen alive at around 17:00 BST on Sunday, had suffered serious head injuries as a result of a significant assault according to a post-mortem examination.
He was found dead at his terrace house in Leven Street, Middlesbrough, on Monday.
Detectives said there was no sign of forced entry at the house.
Ms Davison, who lived alone, was found dead by her sister at her rented flat in Church Square, in Whitby, on Wednesday.
She had also suffered serious head injuries, police said.
Mr Allen, who is originally from Blackpool, is believed to have known Mr Dunford when he lived next door to him in Leven Street about a year ago but is not thought to have known Ms Davison.
Police linked the two deaths on Thursday and, after sightings of the suspect were reported in Leeds on Friday, three forces joined the search, with more than 100 detectives working on the case.


Justine Thornton and Marina Wheeler, whose husbands are Ed Miliband and Boris Johnson, have been appointed QCs.

Ms Thornton, an environmental barrister, and Ms Wheeler, a human rights lawyer, are part of 107 new appointments - 25 of whom are women.
Ms Wheeler said she would celebrate with family on the weekend, her husband Mr Johnson is said be to "delighted".
Ms Thornton, whose husband led Labour in the 2015 election, said she was "absolutely delighted" to be appointed.
Each year candidates from the law profession are considered by an independent panel and chosen on merit for their "excellence in advocacy in the higher courts".
A formal ceremony will be held to officially give those selected their new rank in Parliament next month.
Michael Gove, the justice secretary, commended them for demonstrating "their excellence as advocates in practice".
Lawyers who become QCs are often said to be "taking silk" as they get the right to wear special robes in court.
BBC Law in Action presenter Joshua Rozenberg was among eight people made an "Honorary QC" to recognise "the major contribution each has made to the law of England and Wales outside of practice in the courts".


WhatsApp is becoming one of the prevailing ways people discover and discuss news, according to a study.

But use of the messaging app appears to vary widely between countries.
In Malaysia, more than 50% of those surveyed said they used WhatsApp for news at least once a week. But in the US, the figure was only 3%, and in the UK it was 5%.
The Digital News Report also indicates the Brexit debate has led to growing mistrust of the UK's media.
It said only 43% of respondents declared that the news could be trusted - down from 50% last year - with the BBC in particular criticised for having both a pro-EU bias and failing to expose the "distortions" of the leave campaign.
The research was carried out by the Reuters Institute For The Study of Journalism and covered 34 countries in Europe, the Americas and Asia, in addition to Taiwan and Hong Kong. It was sponsored by the BBC and Google among others.
A total of 71,805 people were questioned by YouGov in January and February to generate its data.
The results indicate that Facebook remains the most popular social media and messaging service for news engagement in all but two countries - Japan and South Korea -  where, respectively, YouTube and Kakao Talk dominate.
But it adds that use of Facebook for news had dipped in more than half of all the territories where a year-on-year comparison was possible.
By contrast, sharing news stories and chatting about them appears to be on the rise within private instant messaging apps, and WhatsApp in particular.
According to the report, WhatsApp is now the second most popular social service for news in nine of the 36 locations, and the third most popular platform in a further five countries.
The authors provide several potential explanations for WhatsApp's rise.
Its use of end-to-end encryption means messages can only be seen by their senders and recipients, offering users protection against being monitored by the authorities.
"Some of the biggest growth we've seen is in places like Turkey, where it's positively dangerous for people to express anti-government preferences on open networks like Facebook," explained one of the study's authors, Nic Newman.
"As a result people are using closed groups where they are more confident of expressing their views."
WhatsApp has also benefited from the fact that in much of Latin America and elsewhere mobile networks are offering unlimited data use within the program, so encouraging its use.
Furthermore, several Spanish and Chilean media outlets have embraced the app. Radio stations commonly ask listeners to send in short voice recordings via the service, and local news sites have added share-to-WhatsApp buttons to their pages.
However, Mr Newman said beyond that, it was difficult for the media to take advantage of the app's popularity beyond publishing stories that people want to share.
"You can set up branded areas or groups of people on your own, but it's incredibly clunky and time consuming, and there are few tools to help," he explained.
"And part of WhatsApp's appeal is that users don't get interrupted by brands, making it a very pure form of messaging. That's something [its developers] will really try to hold to."
The report also highlights widespread concerns about so-called "fake news".
It highlights users' suspicions that social media's lack of rules and use of viral algorithms have helped low-quality false stories spread quickly.
But it says there is also strong distrust of the mainstream media, in particular in Asian and central, southern and eastern European  countries, where the industry is perceived as being too close to government.
This year's Digital News Report is even more sobering than usual.
Many of the institutions that contribute to democracy in the West are undergoing a crisis of trust. News providers are no exception. UK citizens' trust in news "in general" has fallen by 7% since the Brexit referendum, the report suggests.
That is a worrying drop. Combine it with Reuters' revelation that the proportion of people paying for online news in the UK remains "among the lowest of all countries" surveyed, and alarm bells should ring.
One reason for this could be the BBC, whose dominance in our news ecosystem might mean fewer people feel the need to pay for good information.
There is currently a problem with an interactive element on this page.  Please try loading this page again in a little while.
For a new generation, the link between high-quality general news and payment for that news might be breaking.
The internet has made general, daily news a very common commodity. With tech giants like Facebook and Google eating ever more of the advertising pie, news providers may find they have to specialise if they are to get audiences to part with cash. And those audiences won't pay for content they don't trust.
Rebuilding that trust, in an era of digital echo chambers and fake news, is going to be tough. But it must be done.
Yahoo News remains the most popular online news brand, in terms of the numbers of people using it at least once a week, across the 36 markets as a whole.
It also ranked as the top online source of online news in the US, Japan and Taiwan.
Its success may have been driven in part by the fact many users said it was better at delivering "amusing and entertaining" content than the competition.
Other findings reported include:
Making money from online news remains problematic.
The study said 84% of respondents had not paid for content in the past year.
However, it highlighted that there had been a "Trump bump" in the US, where several newspapers had attracted hundreds of thousands of new digital subscribers, many of whom have left-wing views and are under 35.
Another development that will be welcomed by the industry is that the use of ad blockers on desktop PCs appears to have stalled and remains low on smartphones, with only 7% of respondents saying they had installed advert removing software on their handset.
Moreover, a "tough love" approach taken by some publishers - whereby they block access to their content if an ad blocker is in use - appears to have convinced many users to at least temporarily suspend the plug-in's use.


Online card company Moonpig has disabled its mobile app "as a precaution" over claims the firm's online security is "vulnerable".

The company insists "password and payments information is and has always been safe" but says it is investigating the claims.
A web developer who says he uncovered the vulnerabilities says information belonging to millions of customers, including some credit card details, could be stolen.
Paul Price claims he first alerted Moonpig to the issues back in August 2013.
He says the "vulnerability still exists" despite "ample" time for a fix.
"Given the timeframes I've decided to publish this post to force Moonpig to fix the issue and protect the privacy of their customers," he said.
"Seventeen months is more than enough time to fix an issue like this. It appears customer privacy is not a priority to Moonpig."
There is currently no clear way to close an existing Moonpig account - and no advice to customers regarding the protection of their data.
Users of the site can only contact customer services via telephone or email.
One customer, James Murphy, told Newsbeat he feels "disappointed and a little let down".
"I emailed Moonpig customer services and I asked them to remove my personal details from the website", he said.
"I also went on and removed my credit card details just to be sure".
He added: "These are the sort of basic things companies should get right".
As the app is still available for download, Newsbeat asked for clarification about the security measures which have been put in place.
"Although you can download the app you cannot use it or pay for products - the API function [which was the source of the problem in the claims] has been disabled," a spokesperson for Moonpig confirmed.
An API is a tool for transferring data, such as payment information, between software.
"With just a small amount of computer knowledge, you would be able to interrogate Moonpig's database remotely. It would spit back names, email addresses, dates of birth, real addresses and partial credit card information.
"There is an API call, which allows the app to speak to the Moonpig database on its website. When you use it, you just send a numerical value. You should only be able to do that for your own account but, if you just edit it, Moonpig presumes you mean another customer and returns their details.
"It is not full credit card details but these are all pieces of the jigsaw and can be pieced together for ID theft."
The vulnerability Mr Price describes involves using and manipulating existing customers' usernames and passwords.
"There's no authentication at all and you can pass in any customer ID to impersonate them," he claims.
"An attacker could easily place orders on other customers' accounts, add/retrieve card information, view saved addresses, view orders and much more."
A spokesman for the Information Commissioner's Office said: "We are aware of the incident at Moonpig.com and are looking into the details."
In its official statement, Moonpig said: "We are aware of the claims made this morning regarding the security of customer data within our apps.
"We can assure our customers that all password and payment information is and has always been safe.
"The security of your shopping experience at Moonpig is extremely important to us and we are investigating the detail behind today's report as a priority.
"As a precaution, our apps will be unavailable for a time whilst we conduct these investigations and we will work to resume a normal service as soon as possible.
"The desktop and mobile websites are unaffected."
Parent company Photobox is currently recruiting for an Android developer for Moonpig.
The business allows customers to create and personalise greetings cards online, which are then printed and posted.
It was launched in 2000 before being bought by Photobox in 2011.
According to the company website there are more than 3.6m active customers in the UK, Australia and USA and has sent more than 60m cards across the globe.

Ultimate Fighting Championship boss Dana White says he will pay Floyd Mayweather and UFC champion Conor McGregor $25m (£20.5m) each to fight.

Mayweather, 39, who retired from boxing in 2015, said on Wednesday talks about a fight had taken place and claimed he had offered the Irishman $15m.
But UFC president White said: "He hasn't made offers to anybody.
"Floyd, here's a real offer - and I'm the guy who can make the offer - we'll pay you $25m and Conor $25m."
Speaking to a Fox radio broadcast, White said that the two would be likely to meet in a boxing ring, not the UFC octagon.
Each fighter would also get a cut of pay-per-view revenue, he said.
"If they're going to box, Floyd looks at this as an easy boxing match for him," White added. "Conor McGregor is his money fight."
Mayweather, who retired with a perfect 49-0 record, told ESPN's First Take programme that a McGregor bout was the only thing that could tempt him to end his exile from the ring.
McGregor, 28, became the UFC's first dual-division champion in November and has previously challenged Mayweather to a fight under mixed martial arts rules.
His boxing licence has been granted by the California State Athletic Commission, allowing him to box in the US state.
However, he is under contract with the UFC and any potential fight against Mayweather would have to involve a co-promotion or the UFC's blessing.


The government has said it will look into heart screening programmes in sport after the death of Tonbridge Angels footballer Junior Dian.

The 24 year old collapsed on the pitch on Tuesday night during a pre-season friendly. He was pronounced dead in hospital on Wednesday.
Speaking in Parliament, sports minister Tracey Crouch, praised Italy's system of screening athletes.
Mr Dian had been was on trial at the Ryman Premier League club.
Ms Crouch said: "I know in Italy, for example, they screen all athletes, amateur and professionals, for heart conditions and this has resulted in a drop in the death rate of 89% since it was introduced.
"It's an important area and one that I'll be looking at in some detail in the forthcoming sports strategy."
A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Dian's heart stopped while he was playing football. Further tests on his heart are due to be carried out.
His brother, Prince, said the death had still "not sunk in".
He said: "[In] days to come... where it's just going to be me and my mum in the house and I'm going in his room and not seeing my brother - that's when it's actually going to hit me."


A man has been charged with attempted murder after a police officer was slashed with a knife during a routine vehicle check.

The officer was attacked after stopping a Peugeot van in Westmorland Avenue, Cleveleys on 2 November last year, Lancashire Constabulary said.
He suffered injuries to his torso and face.
William Ashton, 39, of Briarwood Drive, Blackpool, is due to appear before Blackpool Magistrates' Court.
He has also been charged with two counts of possession of an offensive weapon and affray.
The injured officer, 47, from the Immediate Response Team based in Fleetwood, has "recovered physically" and is expected to return to work soon, police said.


Delhi's "house of horrors", as the Indian media call it, is now hidden behind an overgrown bougainvillea covered in pretty flowers.

But house D5 will forever be remembered as the place where at least 19 young women and children were raped, killed and dismembered.
The two men living there were accused of the dreadful crimes; one of them, Surinder Koli, has since been sentenced to death. He was due to be executed this week, but the date has been put off while India's president considers a mercy plea.
Its gate is blocked by police barriers, and life in the street outside carries on as normal.
There is a man selling water melons, another herding cattle. Signs on the gates of the neighbouring mansions show that lawyers, doctors and other professionals live there.
The deaths were discovered in December 2006 after body parts and children's clothing were found blocking the sewer running in front of the house.
Koli worked in D5 as a servant for the owner, Monindher Pandher, who was a businessman. In the five cases which have so far gone to trial, Pandher has been let off due to a lack of evidence, but is still in jail facing other charges. He says he is innocent.
The murders caused an outcry because they seemed to exemplify the divisions that still exist in India despite its economic miracle.
The killings took place in a wealthy Delhi suburb but the victims came from families that had migrated from the countryside. The families accused the police of ignoring their pleas for help in tracking down their missing children because they were poor.
They lived in a slum, Nithari, which backed onto the house. The children were allegedly lured to their deaths by Koli, who offered them sweets and chocolate.
He confessed in court to cannibalism and necrophilia.
When the crimes emerged, these details were not known and when I first visited Nithari what struck me most was the community's anger at the authorities.
Four years on, it is still strong.
"We haven't seen justice yet, they should have let us deal with the two men," Seema, a tea seller, said.
One of the first girls to disappear was Rachna, an eight year old. Her father Pappu Lal is the caretaker of a house three doors up from D5. Every day he walks past the scene of his child's murder.
"Yes today we're still angry. Whenever I think about my child I feel so sorry, I feel like crying. And whenever I see D5 I feel like burning it down," he said.
"Justice hasn't yet been done and the truth still hasn't come out."
Pappu Lal shares the widely held view in Nithari that the police and courts are covering up a conspiracy.
"We don't believe that one man can have done it all by himself. Evidence has been destroyed. But we are poor. How can we influence the courts?"
When the children started disappearing, the families asked a local social activist, Ushaa Thakur, to help them with the police.
But she says they were just not interested.
"The police said the girls had just run off with some boy, or gone to some village. They asked me why I was bothering with such matters."
After the first corpses were discovered the residents became so furious that they attacked the police. A senior officer denied to me at the time that they had ignored the complaints, but later six policemen were suspended.
According to Ushaa Thakur, the case reflects extremely badly on her country.
"India is in a very miserable state. People are just not bothered, and even if they are, they don't want to waste time on such things, on poor people, on the people who are crying," she said.
But at least the killings forced politicians and the police to promise to do more about the scandal of India's missing children.
A recent report found that about 60,000 disappear across the country every year. In the capital the number is five a day. Most are forced into illegal work.
According to Kailash Satyarthi of Global March, a child rights NGO, nothing has yet improved.
"As we all know, the mass memory, the public memory, is very short. For a few months after Nithari there was a lot of hue and cry but then it slowed down," he told me.
"We have warned the government that children might be taken away and their organs could be sold or they could be killed, and that this could happen with many, many children."
The Nithari killings were especially gruesome but they highlighted issues that are all too common in India - the inequality, the failings of the police and the sad fate of so many its children.


Prince Harry has launched a sporting championship for injured members of the armed forces.

The Paralympic-style Invictus Games will see servicemen and women take part in sports like wheelchair basketball, indoor rowing and sitting volleyball.
The prince said the competition would recognise the sacrifice made by those who fought for their country.
He has been working to bring the event to the UK after seeing something similar in the US - the Warrior Games.
"I have witnessed first hand how the power of sport can positively impact the lives of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women in their journey of recovery," Prince Harry said.
"The Invictus Games will focus on what they can achieve post-injury and celebrate their fighting spirit through an inclusive sporting competition that recognises the sacrifice they have made."
The prince said he believed the competition would have a "long-lasting impact" on the well-being of those who have "served their nations so bravely".
Harry officially launched the Invictus Games at the former Olympic Park's Cooper Box arena - where events including handball, modern pentathlon and fencing took place during the 2012 Games - in Stratford, east London.


A Christmas tree festival has again broken its own record for the number of trees in a church.

St Mary's in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire hosted 1,378 specimens, 124 more than last year - thought to be the then largest in the country.
The festival, which raised Â£20,000 for charity in 2015, started with 100 trees 14 years ago.
Not all the trees are real with one made of miniature beds and another of a rotating ladder and twisted metal.
This year's festival will raise money for Home-Start and for the restoration of the church which will take most of 2017.
Organiser Ian Neal said: "We've got a lot more artificial trees [than previously] but there's a lot of intrigue really. A roofing company made a tree totally out of their materials."
Each tree is made by schools, community groups, organisations and companies from around Melton and further afield including one from the USA.
From January, the church will be closed while the floor is raised, heating installed, a new sound system built and the organ - once played by Sir Malcolm Sargent - is getting a Â£150,000 overhaul.


The vicar of a church where a 200-year-old tombstone was used for a barbecue has called it "disgraceful".

Up to 14 people, many of whom are homeless, were seen barbecuing in St John's in Devizes at the weekend.
They claim they had permission from the church and were not being disrespectful as it was not a "recent grave".
But Revd Canon Paul Richardson, said permission was "categorically" not given and it was "disgraceful" graves were "being shown such disrespect".
On Saturday night the group used the top of a tombstone in the Wiltshire churchyard to cook sausages on two disposable barbecues.
When details of the graveyard barbecue appeared on social media, opinions were divided.
One person said: "I'm so shocked, it makes me sad.  I really don't understand how anybody has the audacity to do this".
Another said: "I know this is an old grave but this is still someone's resting place - it's so disrespectful."
By contrast, another posted on Facebook that she would be "quite happy to think someone was having a party on my grave one day".
The individuals involved in the barbecue said the churchyard was "where we live" and they would be doing it again.
"Pretty much everyone who was down here at the time was homeless," they said.
"Where else are we going to have a barbecue, it don't burn the graves and no way is it disrespectful because nobody has visited this grave."
But Revd Canon Richardson, said the individuals "do not have permission to be in the churchyard".
"It is disgraceful that the graves of our local ancestors are being shown such disrespect," he said.
"The church has been active in working with Wiltshire Council in trying to home the individuals involved but we are told that they have been reluctant to accept any provision offered."


F1 test driver Maria de Villota, who suffered head injuries and lost an eye in a crash on Tuesday, is improving after surgery and responding well to treatment, her team has said.

De Villota, 32, lost her right eye after extensive surgery following a crash in testing for Marussia at the Cambridgeshire track.
She was in a critical condition but is now described as serious but stable.
She has undergone successful surgery at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.
A statement issued by the Marussia Technical Centre, in Banbury, said: "Since the operation today (Friday), Maria's condition in relation to the head trauma she received has further improved, to the extent that she is now 'serious but stable'.
"Whilst Maria remains acutely ill, this confirms that she has been responding well to the treatment she has received since her accident."
Ms De Villota was hurt when the MR-01 race car she was driving hit a support truck.
She had been driving at up to 200mph but the car was travelling considerably slower at the time of the crash.
It was the first time the Spaniard had driven the car for the Oxfordshire-based Marussia team.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Isabel De Villota, Maria's sister, said earlier: "We, the family, are supporting each other here at Maria's side and we take great comfort from the remarkable medical care she has been receiving.
"We remain positive and this is due, in no small part, to the overwhelming expression of love for Maria from every corner of the world."
Messages of support for De Villota have come in from the motor racing world, including Ferrari driver and fellow Spaniard Fernando Alonso and top British racers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton.
Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) visited the test track on Wednesday.


A pensioner has claimed she was denied surgery after being automatically deemed "unfit" because she was over 70.

Pat Kelso from County Fermanagh said she needed a hip operation in 2012 but there was a 68-week waiting list within the Western Health Trust area.
The trust used the independent sector to treat NHS patients within 30 weeks, but Mrs Kelso said she was told over-70s were not allowed on that list.
The trust has denied using age as a discriminatory factor for surgery.
Mrs Kelso, who is now 81, said when her daughter inquired about a place on the trust's shorter waiting list in 2012, she was told patients aged over 70 were automatically deemed clinically unfit and excluded from the 30-week list.
"It was just that, if you are old, you are clinically unfit - one box fits all - and it doesn't, we're individuals," the pensioner told the BBC.
The Enniskillen resident said she was in agony and could not wait more than a year for a hip operation, so she used her own savings to pay for a private operation.
However, Mrs Kelso said she felt discriminated against, believing that doctors only took her age and not her personal circumstances or medical fitness into account.
She said she was speaking out in a bid to protect other pensioners who are clinically fit for surgery but who do not have the money to pay for private operations.
"I really felt that they were not looking at me. They only considered my age, they didn't consider Pat Kelso," she told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme.
"I'm lucky, I had sufficient savings, I had a supportive family, but there are other elderly people who are as fit and indeed, in one case, a lady of 89 I know who is fitter than I am, and has had to go through the same procedure," Mrs Kelso said.
"There are some people who may not have that money and I think it is very unfair that they are not given the opportunity to at least see if they are properly clinically fit."
The pensioner's call to end automatic age discrimination in surgery is being supported by Age NI.
The charity's director of policy, Duane Farrell, said Age NI receives regular reports from elderly patients who say their doctors have treated them like "second class citizens".
"Pat's daughter said 'they treated my mother's age, not my mother' and that's what is at the heart of this," Mr Farrell told Good Morning Ulster.
"The really worrying thing is that it is still perfectly legal in Northern Ireland to discriminate in that way.
"We have outlawed discrimination on the grounds of race, on the grounds of gender, on the grounds of sexual orientation - that is quite right - but we have not outlawed discrimination on the grounds of age," he added.
Mr Farrell said the Northern Ireland Executive had failed to fulfil its commitment to ending age discrimination for access to goods and services.
He said some pensioners were being denied more aggressive cancer treatments on grounds of their age, and many with severe depression were not getting help on the NHS.
"Older people tell us on a day and daily basis that when they go to their doctor they are being told 'that's just the symptoms of getting older'.
Mr Farrell said age discrimination legislation had been promised in 2011 in Stormont's Programme for Government but added that three years on, the Northern Ireland Executive had missed "every milestone".
"That legislation will drive somebody to look at the individual and see if frailty is a consideration, not just look at it on the basis of a number and say 'because you're 80 you are frail, therefore you do not receive this service'.
"At the moment, administrators, doctors can operate in pretty much whatever way they see fit because it's legal to so, Mr Farrell added.
"Actually the key decision is a political decision to say 'this is not acceptable, we're not going to allow this type of discrimination' and provide a framework within which clinicians, within which hospitals administrators, can then make those decisions."
A spokesperson for the Western Health and Social Care Trust said: "All patients requiring surgery are assessed through good practice regionally set guidelines to determine their medical fitness for the surgery required.
"The Western Trust does not use age as a discriminatory factor during the assessment.  Due to patient/client confidentiality the trust will not be commenting further."


Britain's Adam Hall and Peter Mills have reached the semi-finals of the Scottish Open Grand Prix in Glasgow.

Scotsman Hall and English partner Mills, the 2010 winner, beat Englishman Oliver Leydon-Davis and Denmark's Lasse Moelhede 21-17 21-18.
The latter were off the back of winning last week's Norwegian International.
But Scottish number one Kieran Merrilees lost to Mark Caljouw in the last 16 of the singles, the Dutchman winning the deciding game 21-16.
Scotland's other quarter-final hopes, Rebekka Findlay and Caitlin Pringle, in the women's doubles bowed out 21-5 21-14 against Malaysia's Amelia Alicia Anscelly and Mei Xing Teoh.
Hall and Mills face Dutch pair Jelle Maas and Robin Tabeling in Saturday's semi-finals at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.
Hall said: "I have been coming to this tournament as a spectator, line judge and player since I was 17 and now we believe we can go on and win it.
"We want to win it - that's why we enter tournaments - and this is my home tournament and the crowd are great here."
Denmark remain in contention for all five titles, with 2014 champions Mathias Christiansen and David Daugaard facing Liao Kuan Hao and Lu Chia Pin of Chinese Taipei.
Having beaten Merrilees, Caljouw fell to Joo Ven Soong 21-19 9-21 21-11 and the Malaysian now faces Germany's Fabian Roth.
In the other semi-final, Anders Antonsen, at number two the highest ranked player left in the men's singles, meets Sweden's fourth seed Henri Hurskainen.
Women's top seed Natalia Koch Rohde lost to sixth seed Sabrina Jaquet 21-6 13-21 21-10 as the Swiss player prevented an all-Danish semi-final line-up.
She now faces fifth seed Mia Blichfeldt, while third seed Mette Poulsen and eighth seed Julie Finne-Ipsen will meet in the other semi-final.
Finne-Ipsen is also through to the last four of the women's doubles with Rikke Soby and Christiansen is still on course for two titles as he and Sara Thygesen are through to the mixed doubles semi-finals.


On 15 April 1989, two fans from north Wales went to a football match and never came home.

John McBrien, from Flintshire, and David Steven Brown, from Wrexham, died along with 94 others at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough football stadium, Sheffield.
An inquest into the deaths of the 96 fans, killed as a result of a crush in the central pens of the Leppings Lane terrace that day, found they were unlawfully killed.
Jurors found police failures led to the deaths and the behaviour of Liverpool fans did not contribute to the dangerous situation at the turnstiles.
Police delayed declaring a major incident and the emergency response including the ambulance service was therefore delayed.
Jurors found there were defects at the stadium which caused the disaster. There was also an error in the safety certification of the Hillsborough stadium.
Eighteen-year-old student Mr McBrien, from Flint, had travelled to Sheffield on a coach organised by the Deeside Supporters' Club from Flint.
Machine operator Steven Brown, as he was known to family and friends, went to the match with his brother, Andrew Brown, who survived.
The inquest concluded both men died of compression asphyxia. Mr McBrien's time of death was between 15:00 BST and 16:35, while Mr Brown died was between 15:00 and 15:58.

The first of two sections of a high-voltage subsea cable has been laid in the Moray Firth as part of the £1.1bn Caithness-Moray transmission project.
A new ship purpose-built for the work, the NKT Victoria, laid the cable from Noss Head in Caithness to a midpoint in the firth.
The vessel has sailed to Sweden to reload the remaining cable to be laid from Portgordon in Moray to the end of the previously-laid cable later this month.
The cable will have capacity to carry up to 1,200MW of electricity generated by renewable energy projects in the north of Scotland to other parts of the country to power homes and businesses.
Led by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the £1.1bn Caithness-Moray Project is to be completed next year.
NKT Victoria, described by SSEN as "state-of-the-art", is being used for the first time.
It has capacity to hold 10,000 tonnes of cable and has remotely-operated vehicles for checking the laying of the cable in a trench ploughed by another ship in March.
In total, NKT Victoria will lay more than 70 miles (113km) of subsea cables.


Scotland's 800m runner Lynsey Sharp is targeting a gold medal at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Sharp, who has been named scottishathletics Athlete of the Year, believes her European silver medal this year is a sign of her ability.
But she admits poor training facilities could see her leave Scotland.
"Unfortunately, I have to fight a bit of a battle to use the track at Meadowbank and we only have one in Edinburgh," she told BBC Scotland.
Sharp, who failed to qualify for the women's 800m Olympic final, said that in terms of training facilities she felt the country was split in two.
"I  feel like the country is split into two: Glasgow is great. The've got the new indoor arena and the've done up Scotstoun. Then there's the Scottish Institute in Stirling but, apart from that, there's not much in Edinburgh.
"So, it's not always easy but I love being based in Scotland and hopefully can continue to be."
Sharp said she had enjoyed a "whirlwind" time on the track with silver at the European Championships and featuring at the London Olympics.
The Olympics was still an amazing experience
On the Olympics, she said: "It was an unbelievable experience and I'm so glad I was part of it.
"I didn't perform as well as I wanted to in my semi-final but it was still an amazing experience and I'll use that experience at other major championships in future."
Sharp's selection in the 800m for Team GB's athletics squad for the Olympics proved controversial, as she was chosen ahead of four women who had recorded faster times.
"At the time I didn't let it bother me but looking back on it it took a lot out of me," she said. "Followng my heat (at the Olympics) I had to do a lot of media interviews and a lot of the questions were "do you think you've justified your selection".
"Without realising it, I was quite mentally tired from my semi-final and a huge weight had been removed from my shoulders by getting through.
"Maybe I didn't realise how tired I was."
Sharp aims to clock a time below two minutes for the 800m, adding: "Everyone says that if you keep that number in your head then it's not going to happen.
"If you just forget about it and run, then it'll come. I thought I would've done it this year but unfortunately, I had six weeks out in January so I was a wee bit behind in my training.
"But I've still had a great year; I've got half a second to go."


An academy school that has recently seen two of its board members resign has been rated inadequate by Ofsted.

The latest report for Isle of Portland Aldridge Community Academy (IPACA) said the achievement of pupils was "significantly below average".
It also said senior leaders had not received adequate support from the academy co-sponsors Aldridge Foundation and Dorset County Council.
The school has pledged to "improve outcomes as soon as possible".
The inspection in November also found too many teachers had failed to set work that matched pupils' needs and governors had "failed to challenge leaders over the achievement of pupils".
Inspectors also said pupils' absences and exclusions were "too high" and students with special educational needs and disabilities had not received the "necessary support".
Parent Jo O'Dowd said IPACA had "great potential with the right support" and hoped it would "overcome teething problems".
Laurie Schneider, who has three children at the school which opened in 2012, described the report as "heartbreaking".
She added her children had "gone from children who were enthused with learning to children that don't want to go and come home saying they haven't learnt anything".
The school had been due to join multi-academy trust Aldridge Education from January.
However, in November Aldridge said the move would longer go ahead and it would not continue to sponsor the school.
The previous month saw the the chairman and vice-chairman of IPACA board of governors resign, and the school was also issued with a government warning over its finances.
IPACA principal Joss Hayes described the Ofsted report as "disappointing but not a surprise, as it confirms the view of the governing body that the academy has not fulfilled its core purpose of giving the children of Portland an excellent education".
Aldridge Foundation said the report highlighted IPACA's need for support from a multi-academy trust.
Dorset County Council said as a "minority sponsor represented by just one governor" it did "everything we could to support the academy".
Ms Hayes said the school was now working with the council and regional schools commissioner "to improve outcomes as soon as possible".


Three Pontypridd shops bought by the Welsh Government have been sold on for about £980,000 less than the purchase price.

The units were bought in 2008 for £1.25m as part of regeneration plans.
But proposals for a new shopping centre never came to fruition, and this year they were sold for £271,000.
Plaid Cymru AM Neil McEvoy said the sales were "staggering", but the Welsh Government said they were done on professional advice.
Mr McEvoy said he had referred the matter to the Auditor General Huw Vaughan Thomas, with the Welsh Audit Office saying the concerns were "being considered" and it would "deem if further investigation is required".
Details of the transactions came to light following a request under the Freedom of Information Act by Mr McEvoy's office.
The Welsh Government bought one shop unit at 54/55 Taff Street for £800,000 and another unit, comprised of two shops, at 69 and 69a Taff Street for £450,000.
Both properties were leased - 54/55 until January 2012 and 69 and 69a to July 2014 - with a combined annual rent of £64,500.
But in May the former property was sold for £150,000 - £650,000 less than purchased - while the latter was taken off the government's hands for £121,000 - £329,000 less than was originally paid.
The Welsh Government said the shops were bought in 2008 as part of a proposed regeneration scheme.
"The acquisitions took place near the height of the property market," a spokeswoman said.
"Both properties were tenanted and planning consent had recently been granted for a major redevelopment scheme."
This is understood to have been the Taff Vale Shopping Centre, which was not built.
"Regrettably, as a result of the financial downturn, the proposed redevelopment did not take place and the properties were sold earlier this year following professional third-party property advice," the spokeswoman added.
The Welsh Government later added that the shops "had been identified as surplus stock and we proceeded to sell them".
An assessment by Alder King property consultations for the Welsh Government said the two shops at 69 and 69a attracted a total rent of £28,500 a year, while 54/55 was let for £36,000 a year.
Alder King blamed "market conditions" as the primary reason for the difference in sale price, saying retail investment markets in south Wales, outside of Cardiff, had been slow to recover from the downturn.
Other factors cited included the vacancy of the properties by the time of the sale, as well as the fact the Taff Vale Shopping Centre did not proceed.
Mr McEvoy, Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales Central, said: "The losses the Welsh Government has made on these two properties is truly staggering."
He said this and other examples, including £3.4m economic aid for a steel firm that went bust and the £21m sale of land thought by auditors to have been undervalued by £15m, cannot "be considered as individual mistakes".
A Labour assembly source pointed out that the party was in coalition with Plaid Cymru at the time the decision was taken to buy the properties in Pontypridd.
"Not for the first time Neil has scored an own goal criticising these purchases," the source claimed.
"A Plaid minister was in charge when decision was made", the source added, referring to Ieuan Wyn Jones, who was deputy first minister and economy minister at the time.
In response, Mr McEvoy said he was criticising the Welsh Government's sale of the sites, not their purchase.
A Plaid spokeswoman said: "Plaid Cymru in government did some excellent work in regenerating town centres in places like Pontypridd.
"Serious questions now have to be asked about the Labour government's decision to sell these properties at such a loss."


North Korea has conducted four underground nuclear tests so far.

Each one has taken it closer to what decades of international talks have tried to prevent - a nuclear weapon in the hands of one of the world's most unpredictable states.
9 October 2006 - a weapon for 'peace'
Years of posturing - and attempts at negotiation by foreign powers - culminated in October 2006 with an announcement by Pyongyang that it had carried out its first nuclear explosion.
Like all tests that would follow, it took place underground, in tunnels dug into a remote mountainous site called Punggye-ri, in the north-east.
The device is assumed to have used plutonium, sourced from the North's nuclear facility at Yongbyon.
International observers estimated the blast had an energy discharge of about a kiloton, less than a tenth of the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.
Many believed this indicated a nuclear "fizzle" rather than a fully effective blast.
But the North said it had joined the nuclear club and that its bomb would contribute to peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.
The second test was bigger, with an estimated yield of 2-8 kilotons.
North Korea said it had achieved a "higher level in terms of its explosive power and technology".
While the international consensus was that a nuclear test had happened, no radiation was detected. The ability to contain a nuclear test would in itself be a big advance for the North.
It also followed hard on the heels of a test of a missile with a long enough range to reach the US.
Both were seen as an attempt by ailing leader Kim Jong-il to prove the North's nuclear capacity before he died.
In the early hours of 12 February 2013, unusual seismic activity was again detected around Punggye-ri.
The North said it had tested "a miniaturised and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force than previously".
The as-yet unproven reference to "miniaturised" stoked fears that Pyongyang was closer to producing a device small enough to fit on a long-range missile.
Speculation was rife that the test involved a uranium device, though this has never been confirmed beyond doubt.
A successful uranium test would mark a significant leap forward in North Korea's nuclear programme. The North's plutonium stocks are finite, but if it could enrich uranium it could build up a nuclear stockpile.
Plutonium enrichment also has to happen in large, easy-to-spot facilities, whereas uranium enrichment can more easily be carried out in secrecy.
The first indication was again report of an "artificial quake" in North Korea, registering about magnitude 5.1, close to Punggye-ri.
North Korea later announced it had conducted its first successful test of a hydrogen bomb.
H-bombs, also known as thermonuclear warheads, are massively more powerful than atomic bombs, using fusion - the merging of atoms - rather than fission to unleash enormous amounts of energy.
Though again it has never been confirmed, that claim alarmed the international community.
Observations from afar suggested the blast detected was not large enough to have been a full thermonuclear device, but may have involved some nuclear fusion.
Again, North Korea said the device had been miniaturised.
A few months later, Kim Jong-un announced that North Korea scientists had been able to do what had long been feared, and make a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on a warhead.
It came after days of threats to carry out "indiscriminate" attacks on the US and South Korea. But analysts said it was impossible to confirm.


A flood victim went without financial help for 10 months because he forgot to hit "send" on an e-mail, it has emerged.

Postman Martin Noble had to flee his home in Carlisle in the early hours of 5 December when Storm Desmond hit.
He thought he had contacted to Cumbria Community Foundation for help, but only realised three weeks ago he had forgotten to press send.
The family has now received help and Mr Noble said "despair" had been lifted.
Postman Mr Noble, who had been living in the city's Warwick Road, said: "We thought that we didn't qualify and that's why we hadn't heard anything.
"I re-sent the application when I realised I hadn't sent it in the first place and I got a phone call the next morning offering a grant.
"On that Saturday in December, a policeman knocked just after midnight and said we had to evacuate immediately. We lost everything - all our white goods and furniture."
The Community Foundation said almost 1,000 families out of the 5,300 made homeless by Storm Desmond were still in temporary accommodation.
It has now re-launched its appeal to raise money for its relief fund.
Andy Beeforth, chief executive, said: "We know that there are people out there who were flooded and still haven't come forward for help.
"We think this is partly because some people still think they are not eligible for a grant or that someone else is in greater need."
Mr Noble, his wife Selina and daughter Daisy are in temporary accommodation in Wigton and friends rallied round donating furniture.
He added: "We had maxed out our credit cards.
"There were so many times we were in tears and wondered how we were going to get through. For so long it was so bleak.
"You can't believe the happiness we feel now."
