About 208,000 properties across Wales are at risk of flooding from the sea or rivers, a report by the public spending watchdog has found.

The Wales Audit Office report examined the Welsh Government's performance in tackling the issues since 2011.
It said investment had improved coastal protection but more needed to be done to "plan for the long term".
The Welsh Government said it was "committed to actively reducing future risks".
In 2011, the Welsh Government published its national flood strategy and coastal erosion risk management along with four shoreline management plans.
The Wales Audit Office said the Welsh Government has since made progress and has allocated £120m to coastal projects - including £25m from European Union funds.
But it said severe coastal flooding in the winter of 2013-14 highlighted "the vulnerability to flooding and erosion of some coastal communities, business and infrastructure".
This flooding has given "fresh impetus" to protect areas at risk, the report said.
It also raised concerns that no firm funding plans for capital investment are in place beyond 2020-21 when the coastal risk management programme ends.
In Fairbourne, Gwynedd, sea defences protecting coastal homes in the village are only being maintained for 40 more years.
This has led villagers to threaten legal action.
The report acknowledged that the Welsh Government had pledged a new £150m programme from 2018-19 to 2020-21 to deliver projects in line with its shoreline management plan.
Auditor general Huw Vaughan Thomas said: "Coastal flood and erosion risk management is a serious concern for many in Wales and the Welsh Government has taken some positive steps to improve safety.
"However, with climate changes, the scale of the challenge ahead is considerable and needs both significant investment over the long term and for the Welsh Government and its partners to provide more support and leadership to communities that are already directly threatened by these risks."
A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "We invested £240m in flood and coastal erosion risk management over the life of the last government and have committed to investing almost £55m in flood defences this year, which will protect homes, businesses and motorists across Wales."


Wales rugby fans coming home by train following the Six Nations win over France in Paris could face long delays.

First Great Western services between London Paddington and south Wales have been disrupted after a person was hit by a train at Ealing Broadway.
Services may be cancelled or delayed by up to 45 minutes at short notice, said the train operator.
Fans returning to west Wales by train on Sunday already faced up to 75 minutes added to journey times.
Engineering work meant First Great Western and Arriva Trains Wales services were suspended between Cardiff and west Wales with buses running instead.
Wales beat France 16-6 on Saturday, their first win in this year's Six Nations.


Labour leadership contender Andy Burnham has told supporters he has an "outside but realistic chance" of winning the contest.

In an email thanking his campaign team after voting closed, Mr Burnham said getting this far was "a real achievement".
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said this was seen by some of his supporters as a concession of defeat.
But a campaign source said this was "categorically not" the case.
The winner of the leadership election will be announced on Saturday.
Mr Burnham is up against Jeremy Corbyn, Liz Kendall and Yvette Cooper in the contest.
In his email, he told supporters the campaign had "tested us all on every level".
He said: "But we have coped with the inevitable ups and downs with good humour and run a strong, positive and professional campaign of which you can all be very proud.
"Most importantly, we have stayed true to our values and competitive right to the end of the race.
"We end it with an outside but realistic chance of winning. That is a real achievement."
Mr Burnham added that "thousands of ordinary, decent party members are now worried about where we are heading".
Mr Corbyn only made it on to the ballot paper at the last minute when nominations were finalised in June but has become the bookies' favourite.
On Twitter, he said it had been "an inspiring summer" regardless of the outcome of the election.
This is it. The last minute phone banks, panics over missing ballots, final pleas from the candidates are done.
The vote is over and now Labour's wait begins. Before the result though it seems that already the party has been changed, possibly forever by these extraordinary last few months.
An unexpected candidate has done the unexpected and Jeremy Corbyn has put himself into the most likely position to win the contest. Strikingly, that is against the better judgement of nearly every single senior figure in the Labour Party, and crucially nearly all of its MPs.

One of Mr Corbyn's supporters, Leeds East MP Richard Burgon, said many people would be "pleasantly surprised" at his leadership style if he won.
"It will be a more collegiate and a more collectivist leadership which will include people," he said. "It will include MPs who don't agree with some of Jeremy's politics."
Speaking to the BBC at Mr Corbyn's final rally in his Islington North constituency, Unite General Secretary Len McCluskey said the left-wing MP had already won in his eyes.
He said Mr Corbyn had "lit up our movement in a way that I didn't think was possible" after the general election, adding: "That's a victory in itself."
"Jeremy, in that calm fashion seems to have touched a pulse, and that pulse is about people rejecting the constant downbeat austerity message that's been coming out of politics for thirty five years," Mr McCluskey added.
Angela Eagle, who is running for the deputy Labour leadership, told the BBC she would serve whichever leader is elected, adding that the party needed to capitalise on the "enthusiasm for politics" and "hope" the contest had generated.
The contest has been plagued by internal rows over Labour's direction and concerns that non-party supporters have tried to influence the outcome.
Labour has said efforts to weed out non-party supporters would continue up until results day.
In the closing speech of her campaign, Ms Kendall - who has stressed the need for Labour to appeal to a broader section of the electorate - said she may have been "too blunt" at times.
She added: "But my view is that in politics, as in life, you cannot deal with problems by ignoring or avoiding them."
There have also been claims from some people that they did not receive their ballot papers in time to vote.
London mayor hopeful David Lammy said 20% of supporters who his team spoke to had received nothing.
Labour said ballots had been emailed and posted out correctly to everyone entitled to vote.
The party said everyone who had not voted or said they did not have a ballot had received a final email reminder on Tuesday.
Labour's new deputy leader will also be unveiled at the leadership conference on Saturday, and its London mayoral candidate will be announced on Friday.


Class A drugs and a machete were seized after more than 100 police officers carried out dawn raids.

Nine people aged between 18 and 53 were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply - or intent to supply - Class A drugs in Reading.
Tuesday's raids at 12 addresses were targeted at individuals suspected of supplying drugs in the town and taking part in activity "across county lines".
Thames Valley Police said it was part of a campaign against organised crime.
The raids were "the result of a short, pro-active investigation" into drug dealing, the force said.
Three men were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, and a further five men and a woman are in custody on suspicion of intent to supply Class A drugs.


For Mr Berezovsky, this case at the commercial court here in London was about betrayal - a father and son relationship soured, a beautiful business partnership severed.

For Mr Abramovich, the case was simply about greed - a well paid political fixer who got well above his station and who treated the Chelsea Football Club owner like a cash cow.
It took four months to get through the acrid testimonies of both oligarchs, and a further five to get a ruling.
The evidence was so complex that, had the documents not been digitised, it is estimated the courtroom would have been awash with more than five million sheets of paper.
Above everything, says costs lawyer Jim Diamond, this was a case that smacked of money.
"It is - according to the grapevine of the legal profession - the most expensive legal case involving individuals in the history of the world," says Mr Diamond.
"You have got two very, very wealthy people who are really throwing every single resource at the particular exercise.
"If you look at a combination of rates of the lawyers - anywhere between £200-250 to £600 or £700 an hour - in the city. And if you have teams of 40 or 50 people, you can understand how these cases can become very, very expensive.
"So it wouldn't surprise me if the cost reached £150m."
At the heart of the case was a longstanding dispute.
Boris Berezovsky claimed he held a sizeable stake in the younger oligarch's oil and aluminium companies, and was bullied into selling those shares at a knock-down price after Roman Abramovich threatened that the Kremlin - with which Mr Berezovsky had fallen out - would seize them.
The Chelsea Football Club owner maintained that Mr Berezovsky had never owned a formal stake in his companies, and had simply been employed as a political fixer to help him make the necessary connections to build up his business empire.
Russian media was transfixed by the case, but not necessarily in a good way, according to Russian journalist Alexei Kovalev.
"It's a matter of washing one's dirty linen in public, which is the reason it's so embarrassing for Russians."
Both of the men are, or have been, closely associated with the Russian government, which also "by association means its reputation is far from clean", the journalist said.
He added: "You see, the absolute majority of Russians believe these two people took what didn't belong to them and sold it for their own profit."
The trial has shone a spotlight on what Mr Abramovich's QC called the lawless and medieval state of post-Soviet Russia, when state assets were swooped upon by a few opportunistic businessmen.
Murky business practices came to light during the trial.
Mr Abramovich admitted to setting up companies staffed almost entirely by disabled people in order to win tax breaks, and in turn accused Mr Berezovsky of having links with Chechnyan terrorists.
Russian journalist Viktor Balagadde, who writes for the newspaper Kommersant UK, notes that neither man shied away from certain accusations of skulduggery.
"I'm just surprised that they talked so openly and so - I don't know whether you can call it sincerely - but they were so open about the way things were working in the 1990s.
"In this court case they are trying to use this chance to admit the way they acquired enormous sums of money. And by doing that, probably they are trying to legalise them and find a way how they can be kept."
The case did not make any major revelations, but the steady stream of gossip certainly made some good headlines.
Mr Abramovich was described by his rival as being not very smart.
It was revealed Mr Berezovsky attended a meeting at a London hotel attired in nothing more than his bathrobe.
And while the older oligarch treated his legal team to sushi at lunchtime, Mr Abramovich was regularly spotted alone at the local Pret A Manger with a hummus wrap and a £1 carrot cake.
Mr Balagadde says his readers have cared only for the gossip, and nothing for the outcome of the case.
"People are just fishing for this little detail which will be turned later into jokes... I don't think there is anticipation for either Berezovsky or Abramovich winning from Russian society."
The case has revealed a bitter feud over massive wealth, but Mr Diamond warns it is not finished yet.
"As night follows day, I doubt that either side is going to accept the lower court's decision.
"This is probably going to go to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. So you could be looking at a price of anywhere between £200m-£250m for this to end."


Russia says it will bar Americans guilty of human rights violations, in response to a US bill that targets Russians guilty of such offences.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he had informed his US counterpart Hillary Clinton of Moscow's decision.
"We will bar entry to Americans who are in fact guilty of human rights violations," he said.
The US bill, adopted by Congress on Thursday, normalises trade with Russia, but blacklists Russian rights abusers.
The legislation passed by large majorities in the House and Senate, and President Barack Obama is expected to sign it into law.
Under the bill, the US would withhold visas and freeze financial assets of Russian officials thought to have been involved with human rights violations.
The Russian foreign ministry called the bill "a performance in the theatre of the absurd".
It warned that the measure would have a "very negative impact on the prospects for bilateral co-operation".
"It's strange and wild to hear such claims about human rights addressed to us by politicians of the very state where in the 21st Century torture and the kidnapping of people all over the world were officially legalised," the ministry said.
Mr Lavrov announced Moscow's retaliation following talks on the Syria conflict with Mrs Clinton and special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi in Dublin on Thursday.
The US trade measure eliminates a long-obsolete 1974 provision, called the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, that tied trade relations with the former Soviet Union to the emigration of Jews and other Soviet minorities.
Russia joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in August, and must open its market and reduce tariffs under the terms of its membership.
With the old trade restrictions in place, the US was the only WTO member that could not take advantage of Russia's market reform.
However, lingering congressional anger about human rights abuses and anti-American policies helped attach the Magnitsky Act to the larger trade bill.
The measure is named after Russian lawyer and whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky, who died in a Russian prison three years ago after allegedly being tortured.
Under the Magnitsky sanctions,  the US must release a list of Russian officials thought to have been involved with human rights violations, and deny them visas and freeze their assets.
Leading Russian opposition blogger Alexei Navalny, who has long campaigned for transparency, welcomed the proposed US blacklist as a piece of "pro-Russian" legislation.
"Our foreign ministry has called this 'a performance in the theatre of the absurd'," he wrote on his blog.
"To use another metaphor, I'd call this kind of behaviour by our ministry and officials, who are in horror of these sanctions, 'a fire in a brothel'.
"The Magnitsky Act is totally pro-Russian. It aims to punish the scum who stole 5.4bn roubles [Â£108m; $175m] from Russian taxpayers, transferred the money abroad and then tortured and killed a Russian citizen..."
"It's a shame and an outrage that the USA imposes sanctions on these bandits and butchers, while Russia hides and protects them," the Russian blogger added.


If you're looking for an aerospace executive or military high-up this week, try Farnborough, a small town in Hampshire, some 20 miles west of London.

At the nearby airfield is the biggest event in the aerospace-defence calendar, the biennial Farnborough International Airshow.
It is a must-do for decision-makers in the industry, no matter how much they may tell you in private that it's a chore.
"To have to be there might well be a pain in the butt, but the more important point is that not to be there can be both costly and potentially embarrassing," says analyst Howard Wheeldon, who is about to attend his 23rd Farnborough.
It is where Boeing and Airbus, and their airline customers, announce with great fanfare multi-billion-dollar aircraft orders.
And it is where official defence delegations, preferring a rather lower profile, come to observe the latest military hardware.
Farnborough is also a place where hundreds of small sub-contractors showcase cutting-edge technology or their latest widgets.
The event has a critical mass of customers, decision-makers and the world's media, says Ben Jensen, chief technology officer at Surrey NanoSystems.
The firm, a small Surrey University spin-off, is using Farnborough to unveil a special coating used on sensors, cameras or telescopes. The material protects against distortions from light and radiation, enhancing visibility on the battlefield or in deep space.
"Our potential customers are quite specialised and spread around the world, but at Farnborough they will all be in one place at the same time," Mr Jensen says.
At the top end of the corporate food chain is Lockheed Martin, the titan of the defence-aerospace-security industry.
The US company is due to display its new all-singing, all-dancing F-35 Lightning II fighter jet, which will be used on the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers.
But an engine fire in the US grounded the entire F-35 fleet earlier this month, so there is a question mark over when, or if, the $60m-plus jet will make an appearance.
Yet, even if the F-35 is a no-show, Lockheed will still be displaying its missile defence shields, cyber-security and communications technologies, and air traffic management systems.
With some 90 government delegations due to visit the show, it was important for Lockheed to be out in force, according to the company's UK chief executive, Stephen Ball.
"Farnborough gives us a great opportunity to showcase our business to an international audience," he told the BBC.
For decades, Lockheed relied on defence spending in the US and Europe. But with budgets being cut, the firm is looking for more commercial opportunities as it diversifies into new areas.
That's why Lockheed, along with several major US contractors, has taken more space at Farnborough than in previous years. The competition to win the hearts and minds of potential customers is as intense as it has ever been.
"We are taking advantage of our participation to highlight the strength of our portfolio and ability to respond to the new reality," Mr Ball says.
And the US contingent will be supported by a big turn-out of top brass from the Pentagon and the US Defense Department.
Having largely ignored last year's Paris Airshow due to US budget cuts, there is a long list of senior officials making the journey to Farnborough.
It is a surprise, perhaps, that Farnborough retains this pulling power.
Years ago, the event was a showcase for the UK's once mighty domestic aerospace and defence industries to advertise their wares to the world.
But the industry's centre of gravity is moving eastwards as booming commercial airlines in the Gulf and Asia drive demand for aircraft.
Defence contractors, too, are looking to these regions for new business to offset military budget cuts in their domestic markets.
That is why rival, and much-respected, international airshows have sprung up in Dubai and Singapore.
And yet they still all come to Farnborough.
Qatar Airways is planning to show off three of its airliners at the show, including its brand new A350. Qatar was a launch customer of the all-new Airbus aircraft. Meanhwile, both Boeing and Airbus will be out in force, as usual. The Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault's Rafale, and the Saab Gripen NG jets will be hoping to woo customers.
Interested in drones, military or civil? There will be plenty to see. There is also talk that the UK and France will use the show to announce further co-operation on drone development.
Russian companies, despite reports of executives facing visa problems because of Ukraine tensions, are planning a series of announcements and press conferences to promote deals and developments.
Perhaps the only major absence will be a significant Chinese presence, possibly due to the slow progress of its ambitions to create a domestic aircraft industry to break the Boeing-Airbus duopoly.
There have been complaints that the show is starting to look tired, set against some of the competition.
But Shaun Ormrod, chief executive of the organisers, Farnborough International Limited (FIL), insists that the figures speak for themselves.
Some 68% of the exhibitors are from overseas, against more more than 50% two years ago. In addition to companies exhibiting, almost 20 countries have taken their own stands, including some, such as Norway and Malaysia, for the first time.
"We've earned the right to call ourselves a truly international show," Mr Ormrod says.
There are also more UK small and medium-sized firms at the show, helped by a new government subsidy that contributes to the exhibition costs.
With support for UK manufacturing moving up the political agenda, the government is keener than ever to help.
It's worth remembering that the airshow is a money-making enterprise. FIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of ADS Group Limited, the trade body for the UK aerospace and defence sector.
The company must keep the trade and the public coming back for more. So there has been investment in new exhibition space and long-term deals have been agreed - including with the UK's GKN - to ensure companies return in the future.
It can cost several million pounds for a global aerospace contractor or airline to put on a big show at Farnborough, so FIL's customers want a big bang for their buck.
"As long as you can command the most senior players and military delegations then you will attract people and companies to Farnborough," says Mr Ormrod.


A doctor who was found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence after the death of a six-year-old boy has been suspended for a year.

Jack Adcock, who had a heart condition, died at Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011 hours after being admitted with sickness and vomiting.
In November 2015, Hadiza Bawa-Garba was convicted of Jack's manslaughter.
A tribunal has found it in the public interest for her to be suspended immediately from the medical register.
Following the two-day hearing before the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS), in Manchester, she has been suspended for 12 months.
A review hearing will then be held before that period expires.
The tribunal heard evidence from the General Medical Council (GMC) and the doctor's lawyers.
A report from the MPTS following the hearing, said: "Having considered the submissions and in the light of all the circumstances of your case, the seriousness of the tribunal's findings and the fact that you have not practised since November 2015, the tribunal is satisfied that it is necessary to protect patients and members of the public and is otherwise in the public interest for your registration to be suspended immediately."
Jack, of Glen Parva, died from a cardiac arrest caused by sepsis after he was admitted to the Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2011.
Bawa-Garba, was given a two year suspended prison sentence after her conviction.
She appealed against the conviction, but her bid failed in December.


A Chinese firm is in talks with Russia about renting up to 115,000 hectares (284,050 acres) of land to grow crops and rear livestock in eastern Siberia.

Trans-Baikal regional officials say the deal with investment firm Huae Sinban could be worth up to $448m (Â£282m).
Local government leaders have signed a "letter of intent" with the company, Russia's Tass news agency reports.
Huae Sinban plans to rent the land for 49 years. China has made similar farming investments in other countries.
The timeframe and cost of the lease will be finalised "within a year", Trans-Baikal governor Konstantin Ilkovsky said.
Prof Natalya Zubarevich, an economist at Moscow State University, told BBC Russian that it would be "impractical" to lease such a huge area for farming, as the soil would require much work in a harsh climate.
"The investors will give it a go, and see what comes of it," she said.
Vegetable oil cultivation was being mentioned, she said, "but sunflowers don't grow in that region". "There's little pasture, because of the harsh continental climate. The Chinese are very capable, but can they cope with that climate? Apparently they'll use greenhouses."
However, a successful deal could further boost growing business ties between Moscow and Beijing, once bitter enemies.

Governor Ilkovsky said the plan was to employ about 1,000 people - locals and Chinese - on the leased farmland.
Vladimir Korsun, a China specialist at the Moscow International Relations Institute MGIMO, said that for Russia "there is no way to attract Chinese investment other than leasing land".
He told BBC Russian that the Chinese "require a government security and special favours, special conditions, such as giving them some territory".
In May 2014 Russia agreed to a 30-year gas deal worth $400bn with fuel-hungry China. A framework agreement for a second gas pipeline between western Siberia and north-west China has also been signed.
Russia has been looking east for investment following the imposition of economic sanctions by the West over Moscow's role in the Ukraine conflict.
President Vladimir Putin has met Chinese President Xi Jinping at least five times in the last year and the two have described themselves as "good friends".


More than 100 Manx runners will wear a red bow while competing in the London Marathon, in memory of Murray Lambden who died last week.

The 60-year-old died suddenly on 17 April, collapsing while walking his dog on the Isle of Man.
Mr Lambden represented the island at the 1982 Commonwealth Games and had a personal best at the London Marathon of two hours 43 minutes.
He has been descried as a "true ambassador for Manx athletics".
A spokesman for the Manx Harriers Athletics Club said he was "not only a fabulous athlete but... a giant of Manx athletics".
His sister Margaid Gosschalk is planning to stand with a Manx flag at the five-mile point, where he would have been standing to cheer his fellow athletes on.
She said: "As he won't be there, we have ordered a Manx flag and I will be there. It's the least we can do in Murray's memory.
"He was proud to represent both the Isle of Man and GB and the incredible tributes I have been reading on so many sites from athletes and friends shows just how much people appreciated all he did to support and encourage others."
The married father of two's achievements included winning the 85-mile Parish Walk.
In recent years he was an ever-present at sporting events with his camera and administered the Parish Walk website.


Rory Donnelly's equaliser 19 minutes from time preserved Gillingham's unbeaten League One record after a 1-1 draw with Swindon at the Priestfield Stadium.

Substitute Donnelly fired home clinically from Ryan Jackson's low cross to cancel out Michael Doughty's earlier penalty.
Gills' Max Ehmer smashed a strike against the crossbar with just five minutes left, after Swindon were reduced to 10 men after Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill received a second booking.
In a game of few clear-cut opportunities, the visitors went ahead in the 55th minute after Darnell Furlong had been upended by Paul Konchesky.
QPR loanee Doughty confidently despatched the spot-kick to give Swindon the advantage against the run of play.
The home side shaded the opening 45 minutes and were unfortunate to not go into the break in front, with Emmanuel Osadebe and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas going close.
Jackson almost equalised for the Gills on the hour but his left-footed strike narrowly missed the target.
But the hosts grabbed a deserved equaliser in the 71st minute when Donnelly fired past Lawrence Vigouroux.

"The good of football, the bad of football, I've seen all of it."

You'd expect such a statement from a player who had played for 11 different clubs in three different countries, but how many players have done that at the age of 23?
Meet Jake Jervis, one of Plymouth Argyle's five summer signings, who is preparing for a campaign in League Two having played in Turkey, Scotland and all three tiers of the Football League.
"It's made me a better player to have played in different leagues and different places," he tells BBC Sport as he settles into the final week of pre-season at his new club.
Jervis began his career as a promising youngster at Birmingham City - he once played against Didier Drogba, David Luiz and Frank Lampard as the Championship club held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup in 2012.
After three years of trying to make the Blues first team, he left St Andrew's in January 2013 for Turkey, where he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with top-flight side Elazigspor.
But it was a move that did not go according to plan.
Jervis said: "Teams like Fenerbahce and Galatasaray have a crazy atmosphere and it was definitely something that helped me in terms of my football.
"But after three games, having started so well, I broke my foot."
The Turkish club stopped paying Jervis, but when he tried to leave they held on to his registration and he could not join another club until January 2014, a period of six months where he was not able to play the game he loves.
"It was the most difficult thing I've had in my life," he says.
"I was at Sheffield United and I was going to sign there, and I trained with a few other teams as well, but I couldn't get it through because of international clearance due to the old club.
"I was a handful to be around with my girlfriend and my family because I wasn't happy at all not being able to play football."
It was eventually sorted out and Jervis signed a six-month deal at Portsmouth, before moving to Ross County that summer, where he linked up with current Argyle boss Derek Adams for the first time.
"He's 23 and he's only at the start of his career, but he's had a lot of experience," Adams told BBC Sport.
"We're hopeful of progressing him. He did very well for me at my last club and, although I was only there for a short space of time with him, you could see the potential."
Jervis signed a one-year deal at Plymouth in June, so is now the time to try and settle with one club?
"You always look to do that," he said.
"But it's got to be right and you've got to be able to enjoy it. Hopefully we can settle here and go on and do well."


The length of GP consultations in the NHS is "crazy" and risks undermining care if more patients are pushed out of hospitals, doctor leaders are warning.

Average consultation length is 10 minutes in the UK - thought to be the shortest in the developed world.
GP leaders said this was already too short and the extra workload from the hospital closures proposed by local leaders would destabilise care.
The proposals are being made by local health leaders to "modernise" the NHS.
There are 44 plans in England - many of which involve reducing hospital care and pushing more services into the community to save money and make the NHS more efficient. Similar measures are being taken in the rest of the UK.
Meanwhile, polling by Ipsos Mori for the BBC of 1,033 UK adults has suggested the public would be open to a tougher approach on people who abuse the GP system.
Seven in 10 said charging people for missed appointments would be acceptable.
A majority - 51% - said they were against paying to have a guaranteed appointment within 24 hours, although 20% said they would be willing to pay more than £10.
Both the Royal College of GPs and the British Medical Association are against the idea of charging.
Instead, they said, the attention should be given to the impact of the local plans.
The RCGP and BMA said they would result in even more complex cases being passed on to GPs once they start being introduced later this year.
The number of consultations carried out has already risen by nearly a quarter in the past five years, and GPs argue the ageing population means growing numbers of patients have complex conditions that cannot be dealt with in the normal 10-minute consultation.
Research by the Health Foundation - based on information provided by GPs from 11 countries, including Germany, France, Australia and the US - has suggested the amount of time spent by UK GPs with patients is the lowest in the developed world.
The data showed 92% of consultations in the UK are completed in under 15 minutes, compared with 27% in other countries.
RCGP president Dr Helen Stokes-Lampard said: "We have the shortest consultations in Europe. It is a crazy situation.
"They want to push more care out of hospitals, but we do not have the resources or infrastructure in the community to cope."
She acknowledged funding was increasing - by 2020 the amount spent on GPs will increase by 14% - but said this would not be fully in the system by the time the local plans were introduced.
"We will need to provide more complex care," said Dr Stokes-Lampard. "That takes time - longer than the 10 minutes we get now. I really worry what will happen.
"The typical patient has a range of multiple conditions. They can have diabetes and heart disease and some moderate depression. Patients can be on 10 medicines. You can't possibly provide good care in 10 minutes to these sort of patients.
"If we had longer, you could do so much more to reduce hospital admissions and repeat attendances."

Dr Chaand Nagpaul, of the BMA, said he agreed.
"We spend less than other European countries. We have fewer doctors than other European nations," he said.
"We have one third of the hospital beds per head compared to Germany for example, GPs spend less time per patient than any other European nations.
"We need to be addressing these issues as a priority."
Dr Olivia Hum has been a GP since 2007. She works in a surgery in Lewes, east Sussex.
"The intensity of the work in 2017 is really bad. We work 10 to 12 hours a day without a break," she says.
She says the pressures are compounded by crowded A&Es and long hospital waiting lists for operations, which means GPs are dealing with deteriorating symptoms as people wait for their treatment.
"GPs are burning out, they are overworked and many are retiring early. The system is unsustainable now.
"It is not safe - the brain can't make these decisions properly in less than 10 minutes. Quality of care and patient safety is compromised."
A Department of Health spokeswoman said the GP investment programme in England would make a real difference to doctors.
She said the it would "help cut red tape, pay some of GPs' high insurance costs, and deliver innovative new schemes to retain more GPs".
The government is aiming to increase the GP workforce by 5,000 by 2020 - a rise of 16%.
Meanwhile, the governments in Scotland and Wales also said they were investing in general practice to give doctors more time to spend with patients.

The tail of a feathered dinosaur has been found perfectly preserved in amber from Myanmar.

The one-of-a-kind discovery helps put flesh on the bones of these extinct creatures, opening a new window on the biology of a group that dominated Earth for more than 160 million years.
Examination of the specimen suggests the tail was chestnut brown on top and white on its underside.
The tail is described in the journal Current Biology.
"This is the first time we've found dinosaur material preserved in amber," co-author Ryan McKellar, of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Canada, told the BBC News website.
The study's first author, Lida Xing from the China University of Geosciences in Beijing, discovered the remarkable fossil at an amber market in Myitkina, Myanmar.
The 99-million-year-old amber had already been polished for jewellery and the seller had thought it was plant material. On closer inspection, however, it turned out to be the tail of a feathered dinosaur about the size of a sparrow.
Lida Xing was able to establish where it had come from by tracking down the amber miner who had originally dug out the specimen.
Dr McKellar said examination of the tail's anatomy showed it definitely belonged to a feathered dinosaur and not an ancient bird.
"We can be sure of the source because the vertebrae are not fused into a rod or pygostyle as in modern birds and their closest relatives," he explained.
"Instead, the tail is long and flexible, with keels of feathers running down each side."
Dr McKellar said there are signs the dinosaur still contained fluids when it was incorporated into the tree resin that eventually formed the amber. This indicates that it could even have become trapped in the sticky substance while it was still alive.
Co-author Prof Mike Benton, from the University of Bristol, added: "It's amazing to see all the details of a dinosaur tail - the bones, flesh, skin, and feathers - and to imagine how this little fellow got his tail caught in the resin, and then presumably died because he could not wrestle free."
Examination of the chemistry of the tail where it was exposed at the surface of the amber even shows up traces of ferrous iron, a relic of the blood that was once in the sample.
The findings also shed light on how feathers were arranged on these dinosaurs, because 3D features are often lost due to the compression that occurs when corpses become fossils in sedimentary rocks.
The feathers lack the well-developed central shaft - a rachis - known from modern birds. Their structure suggests that the two finest tiers of branching in modern feathers, known as barbs and barbules, arose before the rachis formed.
Kachin State, in north-eastern Myanmar, where the specimen was found, has been producing amber for 2,000 years. But because of the large quantity of insects preserved in the deposits, over the last 20 years it has become a focus for scientists who study ancient arthropods.
"The larger amber pieces often get broken up in the mining process. By the time we see them they have often been turned into things like jewellery. We never know how much of the specimen has been missed," said Dr McKellar.
"If you had a complete specimen, for example, you could look at how feathers were arranged across the whole body. Or you could look at other soft tissue features that don't usually get preserved."
Other preserved parts of a feathered dinosaur might also reveal whether it was a flying or gliding animal.
"There have been other, anecdotal reports of similar specimens coming from the region. But if they disappear into private collections, then they're lost to science," Dr McKellar explained.
Dr Paul Barrett, from London's Natural History Museum, called the specimen a "beautiful fossil", describing it as a "really rare occurrence of vertebrate material in amber".
He told BBC News: "Feathers have been recovered in amber before, so that aspect isn't new, but what this new specimen shows is the 3D arrangement of feathers in a Mesozoic dinosaur/bird for the first time, as almost all of the other feathered dinosaur fossils and Mesozoic bird skeletons that we have are flattened and 2D only, which has obscured some important features of their anatomy.
"The new amber specimen confirms ideas from developmental biologists about the order in which some of the detailed features of modern feathers, such as barbs and barbules (the little hooks that hold the barbs together so that the feather can form a nice neat vane), would have appeared also."
Earlier this year, scientists also described ancient bird wings that had been discovered in amber from the same area of Myanmar.

A shirt worn by a footballer who scored the winning goal in one of Liverpool FC's most epic European Cup ties has sold for £10,000 at auction.

The number 12 shirt was worn by David Fairclough in his team's victory over French side St Etienne 40 years ago, on their way to a European Cup triumph.
Fairclough earned the nickname supersub for his knack of scoring when he came off the bench.
The shirt, which was kept in a bread box, was listed to reach up to £6,000.
Fairclough, 60, said he would give the money raised from the sale at London-based Graham Budd Auctions to his children.
In March 1977, Liverpool were six minutes away from an exit in the second leg of the quarter-final tie at a packed Anfield when the Liverpool-born striker changed the match.
Fairclough controlled a long pass from Ray Kennedy on his chest, shrugged off a heavy challenge and with two touches slotted the ball home from just inside the penalty area to give his side the 3-1 win they needed for an aggregate victory.
It sent fans wild and prompted a TV commentator to scream: "Supersub strikes again!"


The UN's human rights chief has launched a scathing attack on Western populist politicians, branding them "demagogues and political fantasists".

Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein singled out Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders, saying he used bigotry as a political weapon.
He said he and others, including US Republican Donald Trump and Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage, used the same tactics as so-called Islamic State.
Mr Hussein was addressing a security conference in The Hague.
In an election manifesto published last month, Mr Wilders said that if elected he would close all mosques and ban the Koran and Muslim immigrants.
His Freedom Party (PVV) is leading opinion polls in the Netherlands before the 2017 election.

Guide to nationalist parties challenging Europe
Mr Wilders also addressed the US Republican Party National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, last month.  Mr Trump's campaign has been marked by hardline rhetoric on immigration and social issues.
Mr Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, told the inauguration of the Peace, Justice and Security Foundation, that he wanted to address his statement to "Geert Wilders, his acolytes, indeed to all those like him - the populists, demagogues and political fantasists".
"I am a Muslim, who is, confusingly to racists, also white-skinned; whose mother is European and father, Arab.  And I am angry, too, because of Mr Wilders' lies and half-truths, manipulations and peddling of fear," Mr Hussein said.
He described the PVV manifesto as "grotesque" and said Mr Wilders had much in common with presidential hopeful Donald Trump, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, France's National Front leader Marine Le Pen, and former UKIP party leader Nigel Farage.
He said all had similarities to the ideology espoused by the Islamic State (IS) group.
"All seek in varying degrees to recover a past, halcyon and so pure in form, where sunlit fields are settled by peoples united by ethnicity or religion. A past that most certainly, in reality, did not exist anywhere, ever."
He added: "Make no mistake, I certainly do not equate the actions of nationalist demagogues with those of Daesh (IS). But in its mode of communication, its use of half-truths and oversimplification, the propaganda of Daesh uses tactics similar to those of the populists."
Mr Hussein said that the "humiliating racial and religious prejudice fanned by the likes of Mr Wilders" had become official policy in some countries.
"We hear of accelerating discrimination in workplaces. Children are being shamed and shunned for their ethnic and religious origins - whatever their passports, they are told they are not "really" European, not "really" French, or British, or Hungarian.  Entire communities are being smeared with suspicion of collusion with terrorists," he said.
Mr Hussein warned that an atmosphere "thick with hate" could quickly descend into "colossal violence".
"A decade ago, Geert Wilders' manifesto and Cleveland speech would have created a worldwide furore.  Now?  Now, they are met with little more than a shrug, and, outside the Netherlands, his words and pernicious plans were barely noticed," he said.
"Are we going to continue to stand by and watch this banalisation of bigotry, until it reaches its logical conclusion?"
In the latest opinion survey by Dutch pollster Maurice de Hond, the PVV is projected to win the most seats, 37, in the 150-seat parliament, with Prime Minister Mark Rutte's Liberal Party (VVD) second on 23 seats.
In March, Geert Wilders appeared in court charged with inciting hatred against Moroccans.
His full trial is due to start on 31 October.


The son of a woman allegedly killed by her alcoholic partner has told a court how he sent him to check on the dead body of his mother.

Jordan McKenna, who was 14 at the time, told Lewes Crown Court that on 26 March 2006 he tried to wake Caroline Devlin, 35, who was cold and had turned blue.
He said Robert Trigg remained seated on the stairs of their Worthing home.
Mr Trigg, 52, denies the manslaughter of Ms Devlin, and the murder of Susan Nicholson, 52, in 2011.
Mr McKenna said Mr Trigg left him to get a neighbour to phone the emergency services.
Live: More news from Sussex
The jury also heard that Ms Nicholson, a mother of two, had been living with Mr Trigg in her flat in Rowlands Road, Worthing, West Sussex, for two months before her death on 17 April 2011.
Her neighbour, Hannah Cooper, described their relationship as volatile and violent and said they regularly drank to excess, sometimes up to four times a week.
Ms Cooper said on the night that she died Ms Nicholson has been so drunk Mr Trigg had to help her walk to the shops to buy more vodka.
She told the court that he had phoned her on the morning of 17 April and told her that he thought Ms Nicholson was dead.
She asked him how he thought she had died and he replied: "She suffocated."
Ms Cooper said she phoned an ambulance as Mr Trigg had not done so.
The trial continues.


The Mexican government has approved the extradition of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman to the US to face charges including smuggling and murder.

His lawyers have 30 days to appeal and even if it proceeds it could be months before he is sent north.
Guzman was recaptured in January, six months after escaping through a tunnel from his maximum-security prison cell.
Earlier in May the Mexican authorities transferred Guzman to a prison near the US border.
But they denied the move to Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas, was a precursor to extradition.
Guzman faces charges from seven US federal prosecutors. He is also accused of money-laundering, and arms and drugs possession.
His lawyer, Juan Pablo Badillo, told Reuters news agency he would file "many" legal challenges in the coming days.
Mexico's foreign ministry has said the US has guaranteed Guzman will not face the death penalty if the extradition goes ahead.
Born to a farming family, Guzman went on to become head of the Sinaloa cartel, at one point thought to be responsible for a quarter of all drugs entering the US via Mexico.
Before his escape last year Guzman had already fled prison, going on the run for more than a decade.


Dundee Stars head coach Marc LeFebvre has called for more of the same after watching his side set up as play-off quarter-final showdown with Braehead Clan.

Stars sealed a seventh-place finish and an Elite League play-off berth courtesy of a 7-5 victory at Fife Flyers on Saturday night, ensuring the 4-3 defeat on Sunday against Flyers was meaningless.
The winners of the all-Scottish play-off progress to the finals weekend in Nottingham in two weeks.
"The big thing for us is to stay the same in terms of our routine and change as little as possible in preparing for the games with Braehead," LeFebvre said.
"But I can definitely smile. The guys put everything on the line to get seventh place.
"Braehead's been a great rival for us this season and we've had some great results against them, but they've also had some great scores against us.
"They have a great team and showed that by winning the Conference, but in the play-offs, anything can happen."
Stars went into Saturday's match in Kirkcaldy needing a point to ensure their play-off place.
Justin Faryna gave them the lead but Chase Schaber replied, before Felix Poulin nudged Dundee ahead only for Carlo Finucci to square it.
Stars kicked on with Joey Sides, Poulin and Scott Brannon sending them 5-2 up, but Matt Sisca and Ryan Dingle pulled Flyers to within one.
Cale Tanaka settled Dundee's nerves late on with a sixth and although Chris Wands pulled another back for Fife, Faryna bookended the scoring to seal the crucial win.
Flyers gained revenge in Sunday night's meaningless fixture, with Phil Paquet (2), Kyle Haines and Dingle on target in a 4-3 triumph.
Fife face Belfast Giants in their play-off quarter final next week.
Braehead go into the quarter-finals on the back of two victories over Edinburgh Capitals, whose play-off hopes ended in the process.
Ryan Finnerty's men won 8-5 on Saturday. Alex Leavitt's opener for Clan was cancelled out by Sean Beattie, but Corey Cowick and Leavitt made it 3-1 after the first period.
Caps turned the game around and were leading 4-3 after the second session through two goals from Karel Hromas and one from Matt Tipoff.
However, Braehead squared it through Stefan Della Rovere before Matt Haywood's hat-trick and Leavitt's third gave them an 8-4 advantage, with Garrett Milan scoring Edinburgh's fifth late on.
It was back to Murrayfield on Sunday and the Capitals signed off their season with a point, but went down 4-3 after penalty shots as Braehead made it a four point weekend.
Ian Schultz fired Edinburgh in front but Matt Beca equalised before Tipoff put the home side ahead late in the third period.
Beca added his and Braehead's second early in the third period with Jay Rosehill putting the Clan in front shortly after before Mason Wilgosh took the game into overtime with Caps' equaliser.
Penalty shots were needed to decide the game and it was Beca with two of them that secured the win as attention now turns to the play-offs next week.

British planes are now in action in Syria, after Prime Minister David Cameron won the backing of MPs for air strikes against so-called Islamic State extremists in the country.

The UK has been bombing IS targets in Iraq since September 2014, as part of the US-led coalition.
Here we look at some of the aircraft and weaponry that has been used in the fight against the IS group.
The UK has eight Tornado GR-4 jets in Cyprus at the RAF Akrotiri base.
The Tornado has been one of the mainstays of the RAF since first entering service in 1980. It is an all-weather, day or night aircraft, capable of operating at a low-level.
It is primarily a strike or attack aircraft, with an ability to deploy specialised precision-guided munitions, but it also has sophisticated targeting and imaging tools, which have proved very useful for surveillance missions.
Raptor - the Reconnaissance Airborne Pod for Tornado, is a stand-off electro-optical and infrared long-range photography pod, which can create hundreds of images during a single sortie.
The Litening III Laser targeting and reconnaissance pod provides a vital air-to-ground targeting capability.
Tornado jets carried out their first strike mission in Iraq in September 2014 using Paveway IV guided bombs.
The GR4 typically carries up to five Paveway IV smart weapons or two Stormshadow cruise missiles, but it can be configured with various weapons.
The Paveway IV is the most modern and accurate precision-guided munition in the RAF inventory. It carries a smaller warhead than earlier versions of the weapon allowing aircraft to carry more bombs, which the RAF says can be delivered with greater accuracy and less risk of unintended collateral damage.
Subsequent missions have also involved dual-mode Brimstone - a highly accurate weapon against vehicles and multiple targets. This is a development of what was originally an anti-armour weapon. Dual-mode Brimstone is both radar and laser-guided.
The MoD said 93 Brimstone missiles - each costing more than Â£100,000 - were fired in the year to September in military operations in Iraq.
The weapon has what is known as a "fire and forget" capability, which uses a wave radar seeker to lock onto a moving target. It has two warheads, the first smaller warhead is designed to knock out any reactive armour on the target, so the second warhead can penetrate the target before detonating.
It has been reported that the UK is likely to send a mixture of Tornados and Typhoons to boost the number of RAF aircraft already based in Cyprus.
The Typhoon was originally designed as an air-to-air combat fighter, rather than for ground attacks. After modifications, the jets were upgraded to carry Paveway guided bombs in 2008, but they are not yet capable of carrying the Brimstone missiles.
The reconnaissance operation in Iraq has been bolstered by one of the Royal Air Force's Boeing RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft, which has been deployed alongside the Tornados. It has been based at the al-Udeid air base in Qatar.
The RAF took delivery of its first Rivet Joint aircraft in 2013. It is based on a US reconnaissance aircraft, which first came into service in the 1960s.
The Ministry of Defence said the aircraft, flown by 51 Squadron, was helping "build an understanding of the humanitarian situation in northern Iraq and the associated [Islamic State] threat".
The first Reaper drones were used by the RAF in Afghanistan in October 2007. They are operated by a crew consisting of a pilot, sensor operator and a mission co-ordinator from ground control stations.
Two cameras in the nose of the aircraft provide the crew with the view of what is in front of the drone. A satellite communications system gives the crew control of the aircraft once it has disappeared from view.
Each Reaper is normally armed with two 500lb laser-guided bombs and four Hellfire missiles.
In September, the prime minister announced that an RAF-operated drone had killed two Britons linked to IS in Syria, describing the action as an "act of self defence".
The Sentinel R1 is the RAF's only long-range battlefield surveillance plane. The aircraft's powerful radar can identify and track numerous targets over great distances.
An on-board team of intelligence analysts help make sense of the data collected by the aircraft, which is passed back to commanders and decision-makers on the ground.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the RAF has carried out more than 30% of all the coalition's Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions over Iraq and Syria.
In September 2015 he announced that the UK would continue to provide surveillance aircraft in Iraq and Syria into 2016.
RAF Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport planes - based at Brize Norton in Oxfordshire - were originally sent to Iraq to drop emergency supplies, including water, food and solar lanterns, to civilians left stranded by the conflict.
But they have also been providing support to British military training teams helping to train Iraqi and Kurdish forces in the region.
The Voyager is used for air-to-air refuelling, as well as air transport. It can carry up to 291 personnel, as well as cargo. A single aircraft is capable of refuelling four Tornados and still carry 11,000lb (5,000kg) of freight on a trip across the Atlantic.
It is based on the design of a modern Airbus A330 and can also be adapted to carry up to 40 stretchers and three critical care patients.
This stealth fighter jet flew its first combat mission against IS in Syria. It carries air-to-ground missiles and guided bombs, capable of hitting precise targets, as well as air-to-air missiles and radar-evading stealth equipment.
It entered active service in 2007, but due to technical problems has not flown any previous combat missions.
The F-22 can operate at high altitudes and is also capable of sustained supersonic flight without using fuel-hungry afterburners.
It is likely the Raptors were used to enter Syrian airspace undetected and send back information about the targets to the ships in The Gulf and Red Sea.
The US F-18 Hornet, is a multi-role combat aircraft, used for battlefield surveillance and strikes. They have been based on a US aircraft carrier in the Gulf.
In October 2015 the USS Theodore Roosevelt left the region and will be replaced the the USS Harry Truman. The Truman will be accompanied by its carrier strike group, which includes three Arleigh-Burke class destroyers and a cruiser.
In the meantime, US aircraft have been flying out of Incirlik airbase in Turkey and other airbases in the region.
The aircraft is equipped with a sophisticated radar system that can track targets in all weather and from great distances. A Sniper Advanced Targeting pod, which contains an infra-red (heat-sensitive) camera and TV camera, allows pilots to see targets at night and in low visibility conditions.
The pod also has a laser designator to guide precision bombing, and a laser spot tracker. The newly acquired Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) allows the pilot to effectively designate targets in any direction.
The Royal Australian Air Force has also deployed F-18 Super Hornets to the Middle East to support the air strikes, along with refuelling tanker and airborne early warning aircraft.
F-16 Fighting Falcon
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter. Its extremely manoeuvrable, can locate targets in all weather conditions and can fly long distances without refuelling.
F-16s were used in Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and later in Operation Iraqi Freedom and in 2011 in the intervention in Libya.
As well as the US, a number of coalition countries have also sent F-16s. Washington has also agreed to sell 36 F16s to the Iraqis to help them combat IS. The first four jets arrived in July.
The Growler is a high tech version of the F-18 Super Hornet.
It can counter enemy air defences using jamming techniques. The Growler can also be effective as an escort for other attack aircraft.
The aircraft can operate from land or aircraft carriers.
The F-15E Strike Eagle can perform air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
The aircraft - used in the strikes against IS - can fly at low altitude, day or night, and in all weather.
The jets are based at al-Udeid in Qatar - along with the US B-1B bombers.
The B-1 Lancer is the US Air Force long-range strategic bomber and has been used in the strikes against Islamic State targets in northern Syria.
The bomber can deliver huge quantities of precision and non-precision weapons and can track and target moving vehicles.
Predator drones have been used by the US both for surveillance and strike missions in the region. They are being joined by two Italian Predators, which will be used solely for surveillance.
France was the second country to take part in air strikes against IS targets in Iraq and in September 2015 it began air strikes on Syria.
The first French attack was launched on 19 September against an IS depot in the north-east of the country was carried out by Rafale fighters, based at Dhafra near Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
The Dassault Rafale is a multi-role, twin-engined delta wing aircraft capable of mounting air defence, ground attack, and reconnaissance missions.
The Rafale is equipped with technology which allows it to detect and track up to eight targets simultaneously and generate 3D maps for navigation and targeting.
France announced on 5 November 2015 it was sending the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to the Gulf. The carrier has 26 strike aircraft on board, which will add to the 12 French fighters which have been operating from bases in Jordan and UAE.
The carrier was in operation against IS targets in Iraq earlier this year following the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.
Atlantic 2 maritime patrol aircraft
France has one long-range maritime patrol aircraft in the region.
The first production model was delivered to the French Navy in 1989. The aircraft are currently being upgraded to extend their operational life into the 2030s.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is favoured by a number of nations who are supporting the US-led strikes.
Jordan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium have all deployed F-16s to support the operation. Aircraft from the Arab partners were used in the first wave of attacks against IS in Syria.
Denmark, which is sending seven F-16s, the Netherlands, which is sending six and Belgium, which is also sending six F-16s, say their aircraft will only be used against targets in Iraq - not Syria.
The F-16 is capable of deploying a range of weapons, including air-to-air Sidewinders and air-to-ground Maverick missiles, plus a range of bombs and rockets. It can also carry electronic countermeasure pods to jam radar.
Italy announced in November 2014 that it would send four Tornado jets to carry out reconnaissance flights from Ahmed Al Jaber air force base in Kuwait.
The UAE also has the French Mirage 2000 which has similar capabilities to the F-16.
The multi-role fighter is the descendant of the famous Mirage III of the 1960s - the first European aircraft to exceed Mach 2 in level flight.
The Royal Saudi Air Force is perhaps the strongest Arab strike force in the Gulf. The kingdom has a large fleet of American-built F-15s, as well as the European Tornado strike bomber and the multi-role Typhoon air attack and strike aircraft - which can be used in air-to-air combat, and can also attack targets on the ground.
All these fleets carry a similar mix of Western-made precision guided munitions such as GPS and laser-guided bombs and anti-tank missiles.
Tomahawk cruise missile
Tomahawk missile
The Tomahawk Cruise missile is 20ft (6.1m) long and flies at more than 700 mph for a range of about 1,000 miles, close enough to the ground to take enemy air defences by surprise.
It was originally developed to deliver a nuclear payload, but proved its use in the two Allied wars against Saddam Hussein's Iraq, and against Serbian targets in Bosnia as a means of delivering conventional explosives.
Each missile usually carries a 1,000lb charge, specially shaped to penetrate hardened concrete buildings.
The US fired dozens of Tomahawk missiles during the first wave of  strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria on 22 September 2014. The missiles, fired from US ships were used to target the IS stronghold of Raqqa.


Native oysters are being introduced into the waters around Scotland for the first time in more than 100 years.

The European flat became extinct in most areas around the coast in the 18th Century due to overfishing.
Varieties of mainly non-native molluscs are currently farmed around the country for the food industry.
But now a team from Heriot-Watt University has returned 300 natives to the Dornoch Firth as part of a water-purifcation project.
If the oysters survive, the plan is to create a reef covering four hectares.
On their first inspection, the university team have seen a 90% survival rate which they say is encouraging.
The oysters perform a valuable function in marine life by filtering the water that passes through them.
Dr Bill Sanderson is one of the scientists working on the scheme, which is believed to be the only one of its kind in the UK.
He says restoring the mollusc population will take time.
Dr Sanderson said: "The aim is about four hectares of oyster reef at a density of about 10 per square metre.
"To achieve that, we will have to put quite a lot of oysters in here and we have to grow them first.
"So there is a bit of work ahead to do this."
The project is being funded by the Glenmorangie distillery which pumps cleaned waste water into the firth.
Hamish Torrie, the company's director of corporate social responsibility, said: "Oysters are biofiltration geniuses. They can really clean up the water and are perfect for marine life.
"Basically, they will store carbon and that sort of thing so they are hugely important for the eco-system of the sea."


Gary Fraser scored the only goal as Montrose ended their League Two campaign by beating Berwick Rangers to end a seven-game winless run.

Neither team had anything to play for and Fraser's 19th goal of the campaign settled a low-key affair.
The striker collected Christopher Templeman's pass and slotted past Kevin Walker two minutes before the break.
Blair Henderson had an effort blocked in front of goal as Berwick's five-game unbeaten streak came to an end.


A nurse caring for a four-year-old boy recovering from heart surgery has admitted making mistakes in his care, an inquest has heard.

Diane Barlow was caring for Sean Turner when he suffered a cardiac arrest at Bristol Children's Hospital.
Sean, from Warminster in Wiltshire, died in March 2012 from a brain haemorrhage - six weeks after he underwent corrective heart surgery.
His parents say they begged doctors and nurses on the ward to help.
Giving evidence at Avon Coroner's Court, Mrs Barlow said she had made a mistake when changing Sean's chest drains.
She said she had not created an underwater seal, but insisted she noticed it immediately and quickly rectified it.
She then failed to make a note of the error in Sean's patient records.
She said her mistake in the changing the fluid drains could have led to a condition which could have caused part or all of a lung to collapse.
But a chest X-ray showed that had not happened in Sean's case.
"I think in the stress of the day I didn't put it down on the nursing notes," she told the hearing.
"I think I had alerted my nurse in charge, the outreach nurse and the medical staff."
She added that she "should have recorded it and didn't".
Mrs Barlow said her role as a cardiac nurse specialist also included non-clinical work and she worked one shift a month on Ward 32 caring for sick children.
She said that because of Sean's parents' concerns and after observing his deterioration she asked for him to be examined by other nurses and doctors.
Mrs Barlow said Sean had a swollen leg, was pale in colour, had a restless night and had also vomited.
The hearing was told Sean suffered the cardiac arrest shortly after his femoral line, which was inserted in his groin, was removed by a nurse.
The boy's parents, Steve and Yolande Turner, maintain that Mrs Barlow removed the femoral line on her own while Sean was being cradled in his father's arms.
Hospital protocols say the procedure should be carried out by two nurses while the patient is lying horizontal.
But Mrs Barlow rejected Mr and Mrs Turner's evidence and said she assisted as the nurse in charge of the ward, Sue Conner, removed Sean's femoral line.
Also present, she said, was outreach nurse John Daly, and Dr Guido Pieles, a cardiac registrar.
When asked if she was mistaken about her recollection, Mrs Barlow she said Sean was lying on the bed being comforted by his father.
"My recollection is that Sue Conner removed the femoral line and I assisted her and dad was comforting Sean and John Daly went to get a dressing from the dressing room," she said.
Adam Korn, the barrister representing the Turner family, asked if it was possible she was mistaken.
Mrs Barlow shrugged her shoulders in reply.
Sue Conner, the nurse in charge, said she could not remember whether she was present when the femoral line was removed from Sean.
The inquest continues.


Poet Owen Sheers has won Wales Book of the Year at a ceremony in Caernarfon for his work about three young soldiers.

Pink Mist also took the Roland Mathias poetry award.
Francesca Rhydderch won the fiction prize with The Rice Paper Diaries and Meic Stephens took the creative factual award for Rhys Davies: A Writer's Life.
In Welsh, Ioan Kidd won the book prize and people's choice award with his work, Dewis.
Literature Wales chief executive Lleucu Siencyn said: "This is a book-loving town and local support has ensured the success of this evening.
"From Japan to New Quay, Afghanistan to Bristol, Fitzrovia to Blaenclydach the 2014 winners have guided readers to near and distant lands.
"Many congratulations to Meic Stephens, Francesca Rhydderch and, of course, to second time winner Owen Sheers."
Sheers won the book of the year title in 2005 for his work The Dust Diaries.
This year's winning book Pink Mist is about three young soldiers from Bristol who are deployed to Afghanistan.
The poem looks at the effect of war on the men and those closest to them when they return from service.
Sheers told BBC Radio Wales it was a "fantastic surprise" to win.
"It's a book that started with around 30 interviews I did with recently wounded service personnel and their families," he said.
"I actually did those interviews for a stage project called The Two Worlds of Charlie F, but when that finished I found that I still had so much more that I wanted to say and there were so many stories I hadn't been able to tell on stage, so that's when Pink Mist was born.
"It was Radio 4 that approached me about writing a verse drama - sort of, I suppose, a play for voices if you like - and I asked them if I could go back to this same territory."
The theme of war continued in the fiction category where Rhydderch's winning novel is set both in wartime Hong Kong and in west Wales.
Stephens won the creative non-fiction category with the first full biography of one of Wales' most prolific writers, Rhys Davies.
In Welsh, Kidd enjoyed a successful night with his novel Dewis, which looks at the trials and tribulations of contemporary family life.
Each category winner was awarded Â£2,000, and the main award winner in each language received an additional Â£6,000.


Inter Milan have appointed former Roma boss Luciano Spalletti as their new first-team coach.

Spalletti led Roma to the runners-up spot in 2016-17 before leaving on 30 May after 16 months in charge.
The 58-year-old has signed a two-year contract with Inter, who dismissed Stefano Piolo on 9 May.
An Inter statement said Spalletti will take first-team training from 3 July with the three-time champions of Europe.
Inter's ambitious Chinese owners, the Suning Group, are keen to restore the club's fortunes. They missed out on a place in Europe after finishing seventh in the season just finished, 29 points behind champions Juventus.
Last month, Inter Milan refused to comment on reports they were planning to offer Chelsea boss Antonio Conte a deal to replace Pioli.


Venezuela is facing the prospect of a national beer shortage because of striking workers at two breweries.

Unions linked to President Nicolas Maduro have forced the closure over a pay dispute with the brewer Polar.
The company makes up to 80% of Venezuela's beer. Half of their breweries are now shut, with others already running at reduced capacity.
For the past years there have been shortages of milk, toilet paper and medicines in Venezuela.
In previous disputes, the government has threatened to nationalise Polar.
Workers are striking at Polar's breweries in Caracas and Anzoategui state, as well as at 16 distribution centres.
The striking unions say that pay is at the heart of the dispute.
"They've delayed our collective contract for over 20 months, and the company refuses to recognise our union," spokesman Jose Rojas told Reuters news agency.
Venezuela has strict controls on the cost of food and hygiene products to guarantee that the poor can afford basic goods. However, some analysts say that these controls contribute to food and material shortages.


In our series of letters from African journalists, film-maker and columnist Farai Sevenzo considers if colonial heritage should be forgotten.

"Rhodes has fallen" - so declared the students at the University of Cape Town when a statue of one of the most influential white men to set foot in Africa was removed with the tacit agreement of the University Council last week.
Since 1934, it had enjoyed pride of place on land bequeathed for the campus in Cecil Rhodes's will.
Rhodes left more than land as part of his legacy - there are scholarships, a prominent diamond mining company, a Rhodes University and more memorial structures than were ever granted to Alexander the Great.
A couple of sizeable African nations were given his name and biographers and filmmakers have for a century and more fed us his life of daring and glory for empire with sycophantic zeal.
Farai Sevenzo:
How more pertinent it would be to erect a statue of the Mozambican man caught by the world's press burning to death as a victim of xenophobic violence in 2008
And if you really feel like bonding with his bones, you can visit the Matobo Hills south of the city of Bulawayo in what used to be called Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, and see a grave hewn from solid granite and read the words: "Here lies the remains of Cecil John Rhodes".
His name is as common in these parts as dust.
But the anger directed towards the bronze statue of the dead imperialist is more about the slow pace of transformation in this young democracy, where jobs are scarce for non-whites even after university education, where higher learning is dominated by white academics and where the everyday struggles of the poor are as infinite as Cecil Rhodes's fortune.
Cecil Rhodes, imperialist diamond magnate: 1853-1902
Controversial figure
Travelling around South Africa at the moment it is difficult to escape a perceptible air of uncertainty. The headlines are about power cuts and clean water, xenophobia, rape and the lack of opportunities for the young.
Those Africans who want to bring their skills here are treated with suspicion and the struggle to survive has been picking at the scars of reconciliation that have never truly healed.
All over the world there are graveyards full of statues which no longer chime with changed times.
But old Rhodes' legacy is stitched into the fabric of this half of the continent.
The custodians of that legacy have joined the names of "a 19th Century imperialist and a 20th Century liberator" to create the Mandela Rhodes Foundation.
Africa's most fervent "anti-imperialist", Zimbabwe's leader Robert Mugabe took an eraser to many old names around his country. He changed Cecil Square, named after Robert Cecil the British prime minister at the time of Rhodes' expansionism, into Africa Unity Square.
Yet even he has said will not dig up the gold digger.
"We are looking after his corpse, you have his statue. I say to my people let's leave him down, down, down there," President Mugabe said on a state visit to South Africa last week.
Meanwhile, the Cape Town university students' protest has started a spree of statue vandalism - paint has been thrown on Queen Victoria's solid frame, on Afrikaner leader Paul Kruger's statue in Pretoria and even the figure of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian independence hero, has been painted white for his alleged support of race separation during his two-decade stay in South Africa.
Politicians are now throwing firm words around about "white arrogance" and "no master race", clearly trying hard to make the most of the students' mood.
But do Africans need to be reminded daily of what they once were?
Pastor Xola Skosana told students at the removal of Rhodes's statue: "If we and our children cannot see ourselves in the architectural design around us, then we remain visitors to the only corner of the world God gave us. Europe, we visit, Africa we live in."
Some countries quietly removed their colonial statues - General Charles Gordon's statute was placed in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, in 1904 but was moved in 1959 to Lightwater in Surrey, to a school that still bears his name.
Samora Machel packed all his Portuguese imperialists into a museum as soon as he took charge in 1975, including the horse-riding figure of Mouzinho de Abuquerque, known in Portugal as "the pacifier of Mozambique", which once stood in front of Maputo's City Hall.
And French colonialist Louis Faidherbe no longer stands outside the Senegalese parliament.
Perhaps this illustrates that it is the setting of these colonial statues that is the problem in South Africa.
Rhodes's bronze was flanked by the majesty of the Cape landscape - it seemed to revere him and condone his imperialism.
The symbolism of these statues is heavy with the weight of a history that was at most times brutal to the Africans in whose lands they stand; yet is a complicated relationship.
Should the Victoria Falls still be named after a dead English queen? Should the statue of the man who claimed the falls for her - David Livingstone - still be looking over it in 2015?
The graves and statues of old colonial folk still attract the tourists and everywhere you look there are more pressing problems than the removal of colonial relics.
How more pertinent it would be to erect a statue of Ernesto Alfabeto Nhamuave in a prominent South African square. He was the Mozambican man caught by the world's press burning to death as a victim of xenophobic violence in 2008.
Correction 21 April 2015: This article has been changed to clarify that Cecil Square, now Africa Unity Square, in Zimbabwe was named after Robert Cecil, a 19th Century British prime minster.


Should the city of Gloucester become Royal Gloucester?

Council leaders have been discussing whether or not to endorse a campaign for the city to get official royal status.
Some people say the city's historical links with royalty mean the petition is well placed to succeed, and it would deserve the title.
Others say parts of the city are "a dump" with lots of empty shops, and the campaign would be a waste of time and money.
So what real chance does the campaign have? Here are some opinions on whether or not Gloucester should win the royal seal of approval.
Jason Smith, from "Marketing Gloucester" which is leading the bid, said the city was in "a unique position" to apply for royal status.
"This year is the 800th anniversary of King Henry III's coronation in the city. That's something that no other city except London can claim to have - the coronation of a monarch of England - since the Battle of Hastings.
"Maybe we do have a good case."
Gloucester City Council leader Paul James, who put forward the motion, said it was "right to ask the public what they think".
"There are many royal connections going back over the centuries, from the coronation of Henry III to Edward II being buried at Gloucester Cathedral, to Edward the Confessor holding his Christmas court here, to King Edgar saying that Gloucester was the royal city in 964.
"We've had the badge before and we could have it again if there's a groundswell of support for it.
"I think it is worthy of debate. Ultimately, the people of Gloucester will make the decision on whether we decide to apply for the title of 'Royal Gloucester'."
The Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, Dame Janet Trotter, who is the Queen's representative in the county, said she would welcome the designation, but did not think the campaign would succeed.
"If you look historically there are very particular reasons why places become royal.
"There's got to be a very compelling reason why there would be a royal designation, and I'm not quite sure what the case is [for Gloucester].
"If it was just about bones from the past, probably Leicester would have [applied for royal designation], and we might have got there before now.
"There's got to be a compelling reason that links it to something that we're doing today."
Reaction to the idea on social media has been varied. Tom Bubb posted on BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Facebook page: "Gloucester is no way near royal. Unless they knock the whole city centre down and rebuild it."
Bev Isherwood is in favour of the idea. She said: "The county as a whole is home to a lot of royals with connections and the future king lives here."
Stephen Cullis said: "I can't see what sticking a royal plaster on the city name will actually achieve. As a city, Gloucester is a bit of a disappointment - it always looks so grubby and uncared for.
"I'd almost feel embarrassed to be asking for it to be named a royal city unless the place is seriously cleaned up."
Jeffery Smith said: "Parts of Gloucester are not fit to be royal. Some parts of the city are a dump."
Alison Murphy thought it was good idea. She said: "We have many royals living here and we have the cathedral king crowning incident. Plus, we are a thoroughly decent city."
Adrian Mitchell said: "Changing the name won't stop the disappointment tourists will experience when they actually visit."
If a petition was launched and it gained enough popularity, the government would be asked to make the case to the Queen.


Ban Ki-moon is the eighth secretary-general of the United Nations.

He was re-elected for a second term by the UN General Assembly, unopposed and unanimously, on 21 June 2011, with effect from 1 January 2012.
Mr Ban describes his priorities as mobilising world leaders to deal with climate change, economic upheaval, pandemics and increasing pressures involving food, energy and water.
In style, he prefers quiet diplomacy and sees himself as a bridge-builder, aiming to give voice to the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, and to strengthen the UN itself, which was dented when he took office by scandals over the UN oil-for-food programme in Iraq, and corrupt procurement.
The South Korean diplomat took over from Kofi Annan at the UN in 2007.
At that time he promised to push for peace in the Middle East and Sudan's Darfur region, and he prioritised climate change.
The consensus on his first term was largely positive, despite the elusiveness of many of his goals.
He wants to be remembered as the UN leader who presided over a global agreement on climate change.
Born on 13 June 1944 in Chungju, Mr Ban served as South Korea's minister of foreign affairs and trade immediately before moving to the UN, at the culmination of a 37-year career as a diplomat.
That career included the tough, high-wire act of negotiations with North Korea over its development of nuclear weapons.
He is married with three children and three grandchildren.
In the past, UN leaders have normally served two terms, although Egypt's Boutros Boutros-Ghali was ousted after just one term in 1996 by the United States, which felt he had performed poorly over the Balkan wars.
Mr Ban is the second Asian to lead the UN. He has enjoyed broad support, but he has his critics, who point to his low-key style, lack of charisma, and failure to criticise human rights abuses in powerful countries, like China and Russia.
At the end of his first term, however, he won praise for his commitment to climate change, nuclear disarmament and women's issues, as well as his strong backing of pro-democracy movements in North Africa and the Middle East.
Mr Ban says he first dreamed of becoming a diplomat when as an 18-year-old student in 1962, he met US President John F Kennedy at the White House on an American Red Cross programme.
When he was first vying for the top job at the UN, he said of himself: "I may look soft from the outside, but I have inner strength when it's really necessary."


All the schools in a small Canadian province have been evacuated due to a bomb threat that police now believe may have been a hoax.

More than 19,000 students were cleared out of 60 schools on Prince Edward Island after a threat was sent by fax.
Officers searched the schools, but no device was found.
Universities in Nova Scotia were also evacuated. One suspicious package found near a library in Halifax, Nova Scotia, turned out to be rubbish.
The remote Prince Edward Island is Canada's smallest province, with a population of 146,000.
Speaking in Ontario, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that "all children are safe".
"As a parent I know how worrisome this type of situation can be," Mr Trudeau said after receiving an update from the minister of public security.
Police in Ottawa received an anonymous fax warning that a bomb would be detonated and threatening unspecified schools.
Sgt Kevin Bailey from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police told reporters: "To my knowledge there's been no injuries, there's been no threat found.
"I would feel safe for my child to go back to school. If nothing suspicious is found I'll be satisfied that the threat is a hoax."
Students were taken to safe locations where their parents could collect them later, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement.
Schools will open as normal on Thursday on the normally sleepy island, which is famous as the setting for LM Montgomery's classic 1908 novel Anne Of Green Gables.
Cape Breton University was also evacuated due to an unspecified threat, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
Schools in Winnipeg also received a faxed threat but the city's police service said they believed the threat was "unfounded".
"It appears the threats were very similar in nature," said Winnipeg Police Services PC Rob Carver, though it's unclear the events are linked.
Last year, 640,000 students were kept away from school after a threat was sent in by email.
In New York City, officials received a similar threat but said it was so "outlandish" they ignored it.
Winnipeg School Division spokeswoman Radean Carter said all schools were contacted and staff were told to be vigilant, though the schools remained open.
The city's police service later said they believed the threat was "unfounded" but are continuing to investigate the threat in collaboration with other police services.
In May this year, students at seven primary schools in Northern Ireland, five schools in England, two schools in Wales and multiple schools in Scotland were disrupted when hoax bomb alerts were phoned in to their schools.
A teenage boy was later arrested in connection with the threats made in Scotland.


Chelsea's terrible start to the season continued as Southampton came from behind to record a stunning victory at Stamford Bridge.

The Premier League champions took an early lead through Willian's free-kick.
Steven Davis drove in an equaliser before Sadio Mane ran through after a defensive error to put Saints ahead.
Graziano Pelle's angled finish sealed victory for Southampton, who climb to ninth in the table. Chelsea's fourth defeat of the season leaves them 16th.
The Blues have taken only eight points from a possible 24 this season and are only four above the relegation zone.
Relive the action from Stamford Bridge as it unfolded
All the reaction from Saturday's games
Chelsea's struggles this season have been exacerbated by an uncharacteristically poor defence. They have now conceded 17 league goals - two more than they did in the whole of Mourinho's first season with the club in 2004-05.
Following Chelsea's defeat by Porto in the Champions League on Tuesday, fans called for the return of captain John Terry, and they got their wish on Saturday as the 34-year-old was restored to the centre of defence alongside Gary Cahill.
However, Terry's presence did not solve Chelsea's problems. Branislav Ivanovic and Ramires were fortunate to avoid giving away penalties with clumsy challenges, while Davis was allowed to run unchallenged to score the equaliser from Pelle's chested pass.
After the break, Cahill gave the ball away to Dusan Tadic and Terry failed to cut out his pass, enabling Mane to put Saints in front.
Mane was a constant menace to the Blues defence, which backed off to allow the forward to set up Pelle for Southampton's third.
With Diego Costa serving the last game of a three-match suspension, the visit of Southampton provided Radamel Falcao with a chance to make a case for a regular starting place.
He has scored only one goal since joining on loan from Monaco in July and, based on his showing against Southampton, it is unlikely he will be threatening Costa any time soon.
Although Falcao had a strong claim for a penalty when he fell under a challenge by Saints goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, he did not trouble the visitors enough and managed a solitary shot in 90 minutes.
Mourinho was incensed that no penalty was given for the incident involving Falcao, claiming that officials are "afraid" to give decisions for Chelsea.

He said: "It was a big penalty for us. Not small, not doubtful. Big. Huge.
"That was a penalty. We don't get decisions and I think referees are afraid to give decisions to us.
"When we are top I understand everyone wants to push you down, but when you are down give us a break."

Southampton performed beyond expectations to finish seventh in the Premier League last season, but they had won only two of their first seven games this term before the trip to Chelsea.
However, the manner of this victory - their first at Stamford Bridge since 2002 - will give them confidence of challenging for a top-seven finish again.
They rarely looked troubled by the Blues, with Mane and Pelle combining to devastating effect in attack. One or both of them played a part in all three goals.
Southampton are also a tough side to break down - only Everton have beaten them by more than one goal in the Premier League this season.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman: "If we can show this against Chelsea we can show it much more.
"We had a difficult start to the game but we came back and we made it 1-1 with a great goal. The difference was how we came out of the dressing room, pressed Chelsea and had fantastic movement.
"We totally deserve three points today."

A £35m bypass which aims to cut congestion in North Yorkshire has opened two months ahead of schedule.

The three-mile (5k) road is designed to reduce traffic flow through Bedale, Leeming Bar and Aiskew.
The road is a single carriageway between the A684 north of Bedale and east of Leeming Bar, crossing the A1(M) where there is a new junction.
Work had been due to be completed in the autumn.

About 14,000 vehicles a day use the existing road causing considerable congestion, said North Yorkshire County Council.
A Roman villa uncovered during the scheme has been designated as an ancient monument.
