Doncaster's League Two invincibility at the Keepmoat Stadium continued as they came from behind to beat Notts County.

Goals from James Coppinger and Mathieu Baudry either side of half-time, and Andy Williams' late effort, made it a 19th home game of the season without defeat as the leaders coast towards promotion.
Notts County threatened an upset when they took the lead after 19 minutes, as Rovers failed to clear a corner and Richard Duffy was on hand to slide the ball home from close range.
But from then on it was all Doncaster, and the leveller eventually came two minutes before the break as Coppinger was the right man in the right place to finish Matty Blair's low cross for his ninth goal of the campaign.
The turnaround was complete two minutes after the restart when Coppinger turned provider, whipping in a cross that Baudry headed into the top corner.
The Magpies, still not out of relegation danger, thought they had rescued a point but Haydn Hollis had a goal disallowed for an apparent foul at a corner and then, deep in added time, Williams converted into an empty net with goalkeeper Adam Collin up for a corner.

A girl's pet Chihuahua was attacked and killed by four Staffordshire Bull Terriers which were not thought to have been on leads, police said.

The 11-year-old girl's dog was attacked on the King George V playing fields in Brickfields Road, Worcester.
Police appealed for information following the incident between 14:30 and 15:00 BST on 23 September.
They are trying to trace the owner, who is in his 30s, tall, with a large build and bald head.


A woman accused of murdering her seven-year-old niece now faces charges of cruelty to other children.

Kay-Ann Morris, 24, is charged with killing Shanay Walker, who was found dead at a house in Nottingham's Bestwood Park area, in July.
Ms Morris, of Beckhampton Road, is now accused of cruelty to Shanay, in 2012, along with the same charge against two other children, in 2011.
Shanay had suffered a fatal head injury, post-mortem tests showed.
A second woman, Juanila Smikle, 53, has also been charged with cruelty towards the girl, between 2012 and this year.
Both women were charged by Nottinghamshire Police, on Thursday.
Ms Smikle, 53, has also been charged with cruelty to four other children, dating back to 2011.
Ms Smikle, of Easegill Court in Top Valley, Nottingham, is due to appear before Nottingham Magistrates' Court later.
Ms Morris is due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 19 December.


Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff has been added to this year's Wickerman Festival, along with the likes of Neneh Cherry, Stereo MCs and Julian Cope.

He joins Lulu, Squeeze, Tom Odell and a string of other acts in the Dumfries and Galloway event.
Cliff is best known for chart-topping hits like Wonderful World,  Beautiful People and You Can Get It If You Really Want.
The festival takes place at Dundrennan on 24 and 25 July.
The Wickerman Festival's Brian Reynolds said: "This year's Wickerman Festival is shaping up to be an epic weekend and we know that fans will be blown away by the fantastic live performances that our latest batch of artists will deliver.
"Jimmy Cliff, The Sonics and The Sugarhill Gang are legendary, genre-defining artists who will ensure that this year's festival will be a brilliant celebration of music."


Mercedes have won their second consecutive constructors' title following Lewis Hamilton's victory in the Russian Grand Prix.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The team initially fell just short of the points required but the title was sealed when Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was demoted from fifth to eighth.
The Finn was given a 30-second penalty for causing a last-lap collision with Williams driver Valtteri Bottas.
That saw Mercedes seal the championship with four races still to go.
Mercedes also clinched the title in Russia last year. Although there were three races to go in 2014, it is effectively the same stage of the season because double points were awarded at the final race of last year.

The triumph confirms Mercedes' domination of the turbo hybrid engine formula that was introduced into F1 in 2014.
The team have lost only six of the 34 races that have been held since the start of the 2014 season.
Hamilton's victory means he can seal a second consecutive drivers' title at the next race in Austin, Texas on 25 October, if he out-scores Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel by nine points and his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg by two in the US.

JB Holmes and Kyle Stanley will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Players Championship at Sawgrass.

Holmes carded a 70 to reach nine under par at the end of a tough third round and fellow American Stanley shot a 72.
They lead South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen by one, while South Korea's Si Woo Kim is a further shot back.
Ian Poulter made a bogey-free 71 and is on six under alongside Emiliano Grillo, while Masters champion Sergio Garcia fired a superb 67 to reach five under.
In-form American Pat Perez produced the day's best round of 66 to climb more than 50 places up the leaderboard. The world number 42 made seven birdies before a bogey on the 18th left him on four under.
Rory McIlroy is one under after a 71 and will play alongside defending champion Jason Day on Sunday after the Australian recorded a 73.
World number one Dustin Johnson is two over after a 74 which included five dropped shots in the last six holes.
Defying the early windy conditions, Poulter birdied the second hole and from there on did not drop a shot in the day's only bogey-free round.
The Englishman is looking to capitalise on retaining his PGA Tour card after a discrepancy was spotted in the points structure used for players competing on medical extensions.
The 41-year-old only played 13 tournaments last season because of a foot injury and slipped to 197th in the world.
"It was a relief to get the call to say you're good, you did enough to secure your card," Poulter said.
"It was extremely difficult today. It was very gusty. But I was patient and told myself not to go pin hunting because it was a day that would catch people out.
"I said to myself before teeing off 'be smart and don't take on silly positions'.
"I had a lot of opportunities over the closing holes. I didn't take them but I am in a great position."
Garcia carded a hat-trick of birdies from the 11th and an eagle on the par-five 16th to surge into contention.
A three-putt bogey on the 18th took some of the gloss off a superb round but the Spaniard is in a strong position.
Afterwards the 37-year-old revealed he brought his Masters Green Jacket with him to Sawgrass and admitted that thoughts of Augusta hampered his first two rounds.
"I felt rusty probably head-wise," said the 2008 Players champion. "There were lots of thoughts going through my head, and the first day I was still thinking about the Masters.
"I was thinking, come on, you have to play well after winning the Masters, you have to, you have to, you have to, and I probably put too much pressure on myself."
McIlroy, who will have an MRI scan on Monday after suffering a recurrence of the back problem which ruled him out for seven weeks earlier this season, could not find any consistency during his round.
The Northern Irishman made the ideal start with a birdie on the first, but the four-time major winner then bogeyed the fifth.
And although he did birdie the ninth for the third day running, birdies on the 16th and 17th were cancelled out by bogeys on the 14th and 18th.

Ian Poulter's bogey-free 71 was an exceptional round. The only player not to drop a shot, the Englishman displayed his huge experience by dealing with hostile winds that swept the course for most of his round.
His putter was relatively cold, but Poulter patiently aimed for the middle of greens rather than chasing pins. This eliminated the prospect of being short-sided which can be ruinous on the firm greens of Sawgrass.
Converting this promising position into the biggest win of his career remains a huge challenge but at least he has given himself a chance.
This is all the more remarkable given that it took an unexpected recalculation of FedEx Cup points before he became eligible for this championship.


Michelle Payne, the only female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup, has been banned for a month for taking a banned substance.

The 31-year-old took the weight suppressant Phentermine after returning from a life-threatening fall in which she split her pancreas.
Payne, who rode at Royal Ascot last week, failed a drugs test at the 11 June Swan Hill Cup meeting in Victoria.
She is banned until 21 July following a Racing Victoria inquiry.
Payney is likely to return to Ascot for the Shergar Cup, racing's team event, on 12 August.
She pleaded guilty to taking Phentermine and said she took "full responsibility" for her actions, saying she was "disappointed and embarrassed".
"The onus is 100% with me as a rider to know what I am taking and the rules around it regardless of whether it has been prescribed to me or not," she said following Thursday's inquiry.
"Going forward, I'm very much looking forward to finding a solution in working with my surgeon."
Payne only returned to Australia after she rode Kaspersky into fifth place in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot on 20 June.


Gillingham missed the opportunity to go top of League One as Jack Redshaw's penalty earned Blackpool victory.

With Burton losing 2-1 at Rochdale the Gils would have gone top, but instead Redshaw moved Blackpool five points clear of the relegation zone.
The only goal came when Mark Yeates was fouled by Max Ehmer in the area and Redshaw slotted home from the spot.
Tom Aldred cleared an Ehmer strike off the line as Blackpool held on to record a third consecutive home clean sheet.
The result means Gillingham stay second, three points behind Burton, while Blackpool move up to 18th.


The oil industry, trade unions and government must work closely to get the most out of the North Sea before decommissioning, MSPs have said.

Members of the Scottish Parliament's economy committee were responding to huge challenges in the sector caused by the drop in the price of oil.
The committee made a number of recommendations aimed at protecting North Sea jobs.
It said it hoped a sustainable industry could emerge from the downturn.
In recent months, oil has plunged to its lowest price in 12 years, with a barrel of international benchmark Brent crude dropping below $28 in Monday's trading.
Six thousand jobs have been lost offshore - 30,000 in support industries and 30,000 in the service sector, according to one union estimate.
In a bid to protect the industry and the skilled workforce, the MSPs said there should be no rush to begin decommissioning.
Committee convener Murdo Fraser MSP, said Scotland's oil industry had a "vital status" within the Scottish and UK economy.
He said: "The challenges the industry is facing as a consequence of the significant and sustained fall in the price of crude oil represent a serious threat to our economic wellbeing, especially to the livelihoods of those employed in the industry and those communities who depend on it.
"In our evidence sessions, we heard from the trade unions, industry representatives and Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce about the impact and what needs to be done.
"What was clear to the committee is that there is a shared determination to protect and promote the industry, to secure a sustainable future in the face of current challenges.
"We call on all those involved to continue to work together to maximise the economic recovery of oil and gas rather than rush to decommissioning."
Deputy convener Dennis Robertson MSP, who was criticised for claiming the industry was "booming" earlier this month, said: "In light of recent job losses, there is also a real fear that many highly-skilled workers may be lost to the sector.
"It is important that the industry reflects on this point to ensure that essential skills are retained in the workforce when the downturn stabilises with the possibility of recovery in the future."
Scottish Labour said the government should undertake an "urgent assessment of the oil jobs crisis on the wider economy" in light of the report.
Public services spokesman Lewis Macdonald said: "The jobs crisis in the North Sea has seen thousands of jobs lost not just in the North East but across Scotland and the whole of the UK in the supply chain.
"How many more reports does the Scottish government need to see before it understands how serious the situation is, and acts accordingly?"


Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac says the region are "immensely proud" of Olympic silver medallist James Davies.

Flanker Davies, 25, was a key player as Team GB claimed a silver medal in the rugby sevens in Rio.
New Zealander Pivac credited Davies with a key moment in helping GB beat Argentina in a tense quarter-final, and expects him to be pressing for a first Wales 15-a-side cap.
"He's always been knocking on the door, he's there or thereabouts," said Pivac.
"There are three or four good sevens (openside flankers) in Wales - it would depend on the style of game that you play.
"James suits an open style of game with a lot of running and a lot of ball movement.
"So if that's the way Wales are going, he's suited. But he's not the only one in that position that can do that."
Davies was selected for the Olympics after being omitted from Wales' squad for the summer tour of New Zealand.
After receiving his medal in Rio, the player jokingly thanked Wales coach Warren Gatland for not selecting him.

Pivac has coached at World-level sevens but says he has not dealt with an Olympic medallist in the past.
He said Davies would be given a break before returning to training, but was looking forward to seeing him "because he's a character at the best of times."
Team-mate Scott Williams expects the flanker - younger brother of Scarlets and Wales centre Jonathan Davies - to turn up for his first training session wearing the medal.
Asked the region were proud of Davies' achievement, Pivac replied: "Immensely so."
"It's the first rugby sevens at the Olympics, the biggest stage.
"When you listen to all the successful GB athletes each night, talking about how proud they are and how their families are so proud of them - they want to make their country proud and James is no exception.
"He played a big part in that."
Pivac added Davies' strengths as a 15-a-side player had made him a key player for GB sevens team particularly in their nail-biting 5-0 sudden death win against Argentina.
"I think it's his 15-a-side skills, the ones that he's very good at, transferred well into sevens," Pivac said.
"His work at the breakdown is what he's known for in 15s and he was exceptional in gaining turnovers for his team in Rio - either straight turnovers or holding-on penalties against the opposition.
"His defence under the goal-posts against Argentina in the quarter-final allowed the side to get into the medals."


England completed their first series victory in India for 27 years as Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell both hit centuries on the final day in Nagpur.

Trott scored 143 and Bell 116 not out as the tourists - who lost in Ahmedabad before winning in Mumbai and Kolkata - earned the draw they needed to secure an historic achievement.
Media playback is not supported on this device
India took just one wicket all day as debutant Joe Root added an unbeaten 20.
England finished 356 runs ahead on 352-4 when stumps were drawn early.
Their final-day dominance was fitting because, since being beaten by nine wickets in the first Test, England have outplayed their hosts in every department.
While recent Ashes victories will rank as some of England's finest displays in recent years, former captain Michael Vaughan put the accomplishment into context by describing winning a Test series in India as the hardest thing to do in cricket.
It is only the fourth time in history England have won there, and it is the first time since David Gower's tourists were triumphant in 1984-85.
"There were handshakes, hugs, embraces and slaps on the back all round in the England dressing room. They have worked so hard in this series. What odds were there on us witnessing that? It's quite remarkable. They have done it the hard way, through outstanding leadership on and off the pitch."
England also inflicted India's first series loss on home soil since the legendary Australia team of Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Ricky Ponting won in 2004 - a series which became billed as "The Last Step To Greatness".
Cook's team may not be "great" yet, but they certainly gave players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Mahendra Dhoni plenty to think about with their dominant performances.
Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar outbowled India's spinners, James Anderson underlined his status as one of the best seamers in the world, while - led by the insatiable run-scoring feats of captain Cook - all of England's batsmen scored runs.
Trott and Bell were the two players most in need of a good score on the final day of the match - and both delivered emphatically.
James Anderson: "A truly amazing all round effort to win out here. Everyone has been brilliant."
Tim Bresnan: "That is a monumental win for us. First time in India during my lifetime. Proud to play a small part in it."
Joe Root: "First Test tour, Test debut, first series win - doesn't get any better than this!"
Jonny Bairstow: "A day and tour I shall never forget! Absolutely brilliant!"
Matt Prior: "Where's that tweet predicting 4-0 win to India Michael Vaughan? The boys can't seem to find it? #turnsroundquickly"
The Warwickshire pair posted their highest Test scores of the year, with a century particularly welcome for Bell who averaged just 18 in India before he came to the crease when England were stuttering slightly at  94-3 on the fourth day.
Scoring may have been slow, with Trott facing 310 balls and Bell 306, but it is a measure of England's progress that they suffered so few alarms on the final day after such a chastening start to the year.
Both Trott and Bell were part of the side in January which was bowled out for 72 against Pakistan, on their way to a series whitewash in the United Arab Emirates.
But there was no way Trott was going to allow the year to end on a sour note. He continued in a defiant manner on the fifth morning - timing the ball to perfection - as he eased a four through the leg side to bring up his eighth Test century.
It appeared he might bat throughout the final day until his dismissal just before tea. The 31-year-old chased a Ravichandran Ashwin delivery and chipped the ball into the hands of Virat Kohli at leg-slip.
Bell batted similarly serenely, but did enjoy a let-off on 75 when he slashed hard outside off stump and was dropped at slip by Sehwag.
1984-85: India 1-2 England (5 Tests)
1992-93: India 3-0 England (3 Tests)
2001-02: India 1-0 England (3 Tests)
2005-06: India 1-1 England (3 Tests)
2008-09: India 1-0 England (2 Tests)
2012: India 1-2 England (4 Tests)
The series in numbers
He capitalised on his fortune late in the day when he completed his 17th Test century - the slowest of his international career - as he and Root, who swept Ashwin for six to compound the off-spinner's misery, closed out the historic and memorable series victory.
England, who consolidated their second-placed position behind South Africa in the ICC Test rankings, travel to New Zealand for a three-Test series in March before hosting the Kiwis in the summer ahead of back-to-back Ashes contests.

Derry dual champions Slaughtneil will play their All-Ireland club hurling and football semi-finals at Ulster venues.

The football match against Dublin side St Vincent's takes place in Pairc Esler in Newry on Saturday 11 February.
The hurlers will get the chance to continue the club's good record in the Athletic Grounds in Armagh.
Due to the large number of dual players in both squads, the hurling semi-final against Cuala (Dublin) has been moved to Saturday 25 February.
Should Slaughtneil advance to both All-Ireland club finals, the GAA will be forced to scrap the traditional double bill in Croke Park on St Patrick's Day.


Two men arrested over the attempted murder of a police officer in Belfast have been released unconditionally.

The men, aged 18 and 33, were arrested in the west Belfast area on Wednesday.
At about 19:30 BST on 22 January, a police officer was hit twice in the arm after a number of shots were fired at him at a filling station on the Crumlin Road.
At the time, police said their main line of inquiry was "violent dissident republicans".
The men were taken to Musgrave Police Station for questioning and released later on Wednesday.
Detectives have appealed to anyone who has any information to contact detectives by calling 101.


UKIP's Neil Hamilton could have some of his living costs paid by the taxpayer, despite not living in Wales.

The Assembly's independent Remuneration Board is considering a change in the rules to allow AMs to claim more than Â£8,000 for Cardiff accommodation expenses if they live in England.
The idea has been criticised by Plaid Cymru AM Bethan Jenkins.
But the board said it is required by law to put in place financial resources to allow AMs to carry out their duties.
Mr Hamilton, the leader of the seven-strong UKIP group in Cardiff Bay and is AM for Mid and West Wales, lives in Wiltshire.
A consultation on the proposal is underway until 16 September.
Under existing rules, AMs who live in the "outer area" of Mid and West Wales and North Wales can claim up to Â£8,820 per year.
AMs are allowed several options which include claiming the cost of renting a furnished property in Cardiff, reimbursing expenses relating to a property in Cardiff used by a member, or claiming the cost of overnight stays in Cardiff.
Under the proposal, outlined in a letter to AMs from board chairwoman Dame Dawn Primarolo, this rule would be amended so those who live outside Wales would be eligible - extending the outer area.
The letter said the existing rules were based on the assumption all AMs live in Wales.
There is nothing in current legislation that says AMs should reside in any particular location "either when they are elected or subsequently", Dame Dawn said.
It is understood rules which reduce the expenses allowed if you live nearer Cardiff would remain under the proposals - effectively extending the outer area to England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Currently, members who live in the "intermediate area" of Gower, Neath, Swansea East and Swansea West constituencies can get Â£3,420 for overnight stays.
Those in the inner areas of South Wales West, Central and East can get "overnight stays in exceptional circumstances".
But Bethan Jenkins, Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales West, criticised the proposals.
She said: "I genuinely believe that AMs should live and work in Wales if they are serious about representing their constituents.
"If you live outside Wales how can you possibly be as in touch and as close to your community?
"If there were interim proposals in place to help AMs who live outside Wales to move here then I would be relaxed about that, but I am worried immensely about the precedent this sets - that it will say to people, become an AM for Wales and live elsewhere."
Labour's Llanelli AM Lee Waters said on Twitter: "Remuneration Board plans to let AMs who don't live in Wales to claim for [a second] home in Cardiff.
"Shouldn't be allowed to stand, let alone claim."
Dame Dawn said: "The independent Remuneration Board is required by law to put in place financial resources that enable assembly members to carry out their duties as elected representatives."
She said: "No member should be impeded from undertaking the role they have been elected to do.
"The people of Wales decided who they wanted to elect on 5 May and they expect the board to ensure that those 60 members have appropriate and reasonable resource in place to represent them to the best of their ability."
She said she would welcome "any comments" the public and AMs may have.
At the time Mr Hamilton became group leader he said he lived "less than an hour from Cardiff".
"For the time being I'm living where I lived for the last ten years," he said, adding there was a "big logistical problem to solve" about where he based himself.
A spokesman for Mr Hamilton has been approached for comment.


A 37-year-old man has been remanded in custody charged over an international investigation into the supply of cannabis to Northern Ireland.

I Wenjie He, from Solihull in the West Midlands, was arrested in England on Wednesday.
He was then brought to Northern Ireland for questioning.
It follows the seizure of more than Â£800,000 of 'skunk' cannabis and cash during searches across Northern Ireland in recent days.
At Newtownards Magistrates Court on Saturday, a detective said the police investigation is still ongoing and that they fear the man might flee if released on bail.
Mr He was among 15 people arrested in the UK and Italy during the investigation.
Four men have already appeared in court charged with similar offences.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland carried out searches in Belfast, Greenisland, Bangor, Newtownards and Ballywalter.
They have also been co-operating with police in Italy, where officers uncovered a cannabis factory.
It is believed the total value of the 'skunk' seized in Northern Ireland and Italy was Â£4.25m and was destined for Northern Ireland.
The four other men who have already been charged - Jian Wen Chen, 29, of Belfast, Jiazhu Cia, 30, of Ballywalter, Yong He, 33, from Belfast and Wei Zou, 32, from Bangor - all appeared in Newtownards Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
The men were among six people, including two women, arrested in Northern Ireland on Tuesday.
The women, aged 29 and 26, have since been released on police bail pending further inquiries.
Eight people were also arrested in Italy and remain in custody.


Spain's Sergio Garcia ended his long wait for a first major title with a thrilling play-off win over England's Justin Rose at the Masters.

Both players finished on nine under par after 72 holes, setting up a sudden-death play-off on the 18th.
Garcia, 37, holed a birdie putt for victory after his European Ryder Cup team-mate could only manage a bogey.
Charl Schwartzel was three shots back, with England's Paul Casey and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy in the top 10.
Jordan Spieth, one of the pre-tournament favourites, and fellow American Rickie Fowler both capitulated on the final day to finish tied 11th on one-under.
Garcia finally won one of golf's four majors - the Masters, the Open Championship, the US Open and the US PGA - after 22 previous top-10 finishes.
He became the third Spaniard to win the Masters - after Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal - on what would have been the 60th birthday of Ballesteros, who died in 2011.
"To join Seve and Jose - my two idols - is something amazing," said Garcia.
Shot one: Rose teed off first, pushing his drive right into the trees, only for his ball to bounce back towards play and reappear in the pine needles.
Garcia thumped his drive almost 300 yards down the fairway.
Shot two: Rose could only punch his way out of trouble onto the fairway, while Garcia to land his approach on the green.
Shot three: The Englishman responded by landing his ball about 10 foot to the right of the hole - on a similar line to his putt in regulation play about 15 minutes earlier.
After Rose pushed it left, Garcia had two shots for victory - making no mistake with his first attempt and his ball rounded the lip before dropping in.

For many victims of rape and sexual assault, giving birth can trigger frightening, graphic memories of their attack.

As the UK's first maternity clinic for rape and sexual assault victims opens, BBC News speaks to three victims - two of whom helped design the clinic.
Kim, 28, had her first child in a Birmingham hospital last year. She helped design how the clinic would operate.
Kim said: "During labour, I couldn't stand being physically out of control and I wouldn't let the contractions come. I couldn't give into the process of labour, because I felt that I needed to fight back this time, now that something else was in control of my body. The midwife was shouting at me about why I was stopping my contractions and that I wasn't normal and it wasn't natural to be doing that. But I couldn't help it.
"Eventually I started crying and shouted back at her about what had happened. I cried and cried hysterically, forever, and after I'd got it out of my system and let out what had happened from my mouth, like magic, my whole body began to open up.
"The rest of the labour went smoothly. I needed to open up mentally to open up physically. If only this clinic had been around when I had my baby. It would have saved us both so much agony.
"At one point I kept trying to close my legs because I was reacting to the flashbacks of the rape I was experiencing. Three midwives had to prise them apart because they said my baby only had a quarter of the space he needed to come out into the world. I cared about his first few hours in the world and I wanted to open my legs so he'd have more space, but I couldn't do it.
"I desperately needed a clinic where people understood that, and where we could both be looked after before, during, and after. I can't believe this hasn't existed before. I am so glad that My Body Back project's maternity clinic is starting. It will mean that countless more women will not go through what I went through in future."
Melanie (name changed for confidentiality), aged 37, had her baby two years ago.
She said: "I was slow to bond with my daughter because I was in such an emotional state for weeks after she was born. I had nightmares for months and I was grateful she wouldn't let me sleep at night. I still wonder how this affected her early emotional development. I feel angry that my rapist was allowed to do that to her and there was nothing to protect us from that.
"I was given gas and air whilst in labour and I started hallucinating, seeing the man who had attacked me in the room. I managed to articulate what was happening to my husband, but he didn't know what to do. He wasn't equipped to deal with it at all, and there was no-one else in the room who was either. I was terrified and screaming. Nobody asked me; I wish I'd had some control.
"I feel my rapist was allowed to hijack the birth of my child because no-one stopped enough to care. I had to explain to every different staff member that I had been attacked. I was also not coping well with strangers touching me and I felt that the staff were blaming me for being oversensitive. I wish that they were equipped to deal with what I would experience, that my body was respected and I didn't have to debate it.
"For the last year I have been thinking that I would love one more baby but that I couldn't have one because I didn't want to risk this happening again. I am so over the moon that this clinic is happening, this allows me and my husband to have another child in safety."
Jessica, 34, had her first child two years ago in a London hospital. She also helped design how the new clinic would operate.
She said: "Once you become pregnant, there is this assumption that everyone has access to your body. If you say no to that, you are considered a bad mother who puts herself before her baby. But I know I have to look after myself if I am to be mentally able enough to look after my child when she is born.
"Pregnancy meant I was no longer asked for consent, because they assumed I already consented to everything anyway and that's how I got pregnant. The thinking is so patriarchal. It's no surprise, because our hospitals and the health system have been set up by men. There's this idea that because they have a qualification they have access to you and your body, and it doesn't matter about you or your life.
"At 12 weeks I was told I had to have a transvaginal scan. I didn't want it because I was raped when I was 13 years old. I said I didn't want it but no-one listened to that, and I was talked to like I was a really terrible mother for not having this scan. Then when I experienced flashbacks as they did it, someone said: 'Why are you becoming hysterical? You need to calm down.'
"It was as if the entire thing was my fault. The whole thing was based on victim blaming. I felt it was another way I was being blamed, again, for having been raped. It turned out that the scan wasn't required at all for my baby, and it was to do with research to do with the length of cervixes."

Conchita Wurst believes there's still a long way to go for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) equality.

The 26-year-old won the Eurovision song contest last year with Rise Like A Phoenix.
She says: "The most important thing will be when we actually stop talking about sexual orientation.
"The moment we reach that point when that is not important any more, we've reached a big goal which is a long way in front of us."
Conchita, whose real name is Tom Neuwirth, won Eurovision with her drag act and has since gone on to champion LGBT rights.
In the past she's said she's not transgender and describes herself as a gay man.
In the past year she's been invited to the United Nations and gave a speech at the European Parliament where she said: "As I always say, you don't have to love me, but you have to respect that I'm here."
She says there's still work to be done though.
Speaking at Eurovision's Greatest Hits gig she tells Newsbeat: "You have to be respectful. Don't ask for respect if you are not respectful.
"It's not depending on your sexuality, your gender or the colour of your skin.
"It should be in the focus to live a respectful life."
In January Conchita was invited to the Golden Globes.
"I was in the toilet minding my own business and all of a sudden Felicity Huffman turned to me and congratulated me on my win.
"She said she thinks the work I do is very important and I just looked at her.
"I said it should be the other way around. I just wanted to thank her for Transamerica which was such an important movie.
"We just had a little chat on the toilet and that was really very nice."
Conchita will be playing a part in this year's Eurovision. She's hosting the green room backstage as part of the show.
"I'm very excited about that but also nervous so hopefully it will turn out quite well. It's going to be fun."

Current accounts have become the number one target for financial fraudsters in the UK, according to data company Experian.

In the first quarter of 2015, it said that 0.89% of applications for current accounts came from criminals.
The figures mean that bank accounts have overtaken mortgages as the biggest source of attempted fraud.
In comparison, 0.83% of mortgage applications were fraudulent over the same period.
The main reason for the rise was "an exponential increase" in identity fraud, when criminals use somebody else's personal details to set up an account.
Of those trying to open accounts fraudulently, 49% used a stolen identity. That was up from 32% in the first three months of 2014, said Experian.
The firm is employed by many High Street banks to detect criminal activity.
Criminals opening current accounts are then able to access other financial products, such as credit cards, which are also used to steal money.
Many will have obtained personal details through phishing emails, which trick account holders into revealing numbers and passwords.
"Knowing what your bank can and cannot ask you for will help you avoid phishing scams," said Nick Mothershaw, a director of identity and fraud at Experian.
"Making sure sensitive mail is shredded is also important."
Customers who are the innocent victims of fraud are usually reimbursed by their bank. Nevertheless account holders are being warned to be vigilant.
"It's important to be alert, so if you get a call, text or email out of the blue, don't reveal any information unless you are absolutely sure who you are dealing with," said Jon Sacker, of Financial Fraud Action UK.
Action Fraud, which works alongside the Police, recently said that a third of people fail to take sufficient measures to protect their online details.


Hull City midfielder Markus Henriksen's loan move from AZ Alkmaar has been made permanent.

The Norwegian joined initially on 1 September and has now signed a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The 24-year-old has made 11 Premier League and three EFL Cup appearances for the Premier League's bottom club.
"It feels very good," said Henriksen. "My form has been up and down so far, but hopefully I can show everybody my best."
He joins a day after the Premier League's bottom club appointed Marco Silva as their new manager.
"The training was very good, done at high intensity and he is very clear on how he wants us to play," added Henriksen.
"He wants us to work as a unit and he has made it clear that we are all in this together. We're all fighting towards achieving the same goal."


Marcus Mumford says there was a conscious decision from Mumford & Sons to go for a new sound on their third studio album, Wilder Mind.

The singer says the guitar-led feel to their latest music came naturally.
"There wasn't some sort of big burning of banjos meeting," he told Annie Mac on her new Radio 1 evening show.
"It was just the noise we wanted to make and we've always followed our noses on that. The first rule of rock 'n' roll is, do what you want."
The band's first single from Wilder Mind, Believe, had its first play on Radio 1 on Monday night.
Marcus Mumford says it was written after a friend's wedding in America last year.
"The boys wrote it in Texas," he says. "We were all at a wedding and we were on this ranch.
"One of our best mates got married and the parents of the bride kindly let us stay on in this little outhouse for a week.
"I left a day early and by the time we'd met up again in London the boys had written this song, Believe.
And then I got in and started singing it and it was just great because normally there's a guitar in my hands.
"This is the first time in the band that I've just got to sing without having to worry about faffing with instruments. I really enjoyed it."
Following the success of the band's 2012 release, Babel, Marcus Mumford and bandmates Winston Marshall, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane took some time off.
Marcus says they got back together at the beginning of last year in America to write new material.
"We started doing demos at Aaron Dessner's garage [from The National] in Brooklyn, New York, about a year ago and started getting some songs together.
"And then when we were ready we went ahead in the autumn of last year and smashed it out.
"And now we're running around trying to learn how to play it live."
Last week the band revealed they will be headlining this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals as well as announcing their own Stopover Festival, a two-day music and arts event which will take place near Aviemore.
Marcus Mumford says fans are in for something a little bit different with that one.
"That's going to be a lot of music," he says. "We're putting on these festivals. It's kind of our favourite thing that we get to do as a band actually, to curate our own festivals, put together the line-ups.
"And it's not a headline Mumford & Sons show. It's a festival in small, out of the way towns.
"It's cool, because it's a destination gig, you will travel somewhere interesting and watch music for the weekend. It's great fun."

Students in Durham say they are angry at plans being brought in by the local police, council and university to make the river safer.

They've told Newsbeat they are being blamed for drinking too much but say that not enough is being done to make the River Wear safer.
They want more fences to stop people falling in.
Police say that students need to take more responsibility for themselves when they go out drinking.
The warning comes after three student deaths in the River Wear in the past year and a half.
Sope Peters drowned in October 2013, Luke Pearce in May 2014, and Euan Coulthard died in January of this year.
Toby Dickinson, a 19-year-old first year student, is unhappy with the way the measures are being brought in.
"I think what's going on here is victim blaming, you died and it's your fault because you drank," he said.
Plans include breathalysing people at clubs if bouncers think they've had too much to drink.
An area where drunk people can be taken to sober up before being sent on their way home is also being suggested. They will be looked after in these areas by volunteers.
Newsbeat saw a number of people being helped by "street angels" after being kicked out of the clubs and bars.
A lot of the students we spoke to said tackling drunks was the wrong approach and ignores the real problem.
"There are no lights by the river and the fences don't cover the whole path," says Lauren Maine, a third-year student.
"The path does go to some colleges on the hill so if you were heading that way you would have to get to a bit where there isn't any fence."
She is not alone in being angry with the plans.
A lot of the students Newsbeat spoke to were unhappy, felt they were being targeted and that local residents weren't facing the same treatment.
The local police say that they aren't singling out students and point out that locals aren't dying in the river.
They say in the past 15 months four students went into the water after drinking too much and three of those died.
Chief Superintendent Ivan Wood is working with the council and university to try to stop more accidents happening.
"There have been three tragic accidents in the past 14 months, all involving students, all on a Wednesday night, all having consumed alcohol," he said.
"What we're saying is take responsibility for your own actions."
The fear of another death in the city is very high at the moment.
When Newsbeat was speaking to students outside the main club there was a moment of panic when a friend of one of the above group went missing after drinking too much.
He turned up after a few frantic phone calls and there was a collective sigh of relief.
One of those trying to track down the missing student was Ivan Jones, 21, who said: "It highlights a point, after these things happen then everyone is worried and you'd expect that."
The council, police and university have told students to "look after your friends and stick together walking home".
This is a message that Jackie Roberts wants people to take on. Her daughter Megan died in another university city, York, which is also dominated by a river running through it.
Megan fell into the River Ouse after a night out drinking with friends.
Jackie told Newsbeat that she has relived what could have happened to her in the water over and over in her head and doesn't want anyone else to go through what she has.
"I'm never going to preach to anyone and say don't go out and have a drink and don't have fun, but just realise there is this huge danger if you're not careful," she said.
She also agreed with the students Newsbeat has spoken to who say more needs to be done to physically stop people falling in.
Some changes are being made and since meeting with Newsbeat, Jackie has been in touch to say that York Council will receive a gate in March to install over the steps where Megan died.
"Good news in that it helps prevent the same tragedy in that area and it is also a mark of respect to Megan," said Jackie.

The UK is set to spend its first full day without generating electricity from coal on Friday, the National Grid says.

It said the previous longest continuous period without coal-generation was 19 hours, achieved last May.
It comes after years of moving to less-polluting natural gas and renewables - though demand for power also tends to be lower on Fridays.
Although National Grid said a coal-free day looked likely, it would only know for sure very late on Friday.
Britain opened its first coal-fired power station in 1882 and coal remained a dominant part of the energy mix until the 1990s.
However, its use has fallen in recent years, as plants closed or switched to burning biomass, and it accounted for just 9% of electricity generation in 2016 - down from 23% the year before.
Last year, the government said it wanted to phase out Britain's last plants by 2025 as part of efforts to cut carbon emissions.
Coal has powered Britain for more than a century. But today's landmark moment - the first 24 hour period without any coal powered generation - is a sign of how the once mighty fuel is being consigned to history.
Part of the reason is that solar panels and wind turbines now provide much more electricity to factories and homes. Lower power demand is a factor too - that's normal on a Friday.
And as older, uneconomic coal fired plants have closed in recent years, the fossil fuel has been playing a much smaller role in our energy system.
Paul Ekin, professor of resources and environment policy at University College London, said a full day day without coal would be "enormously significant".
"As recently as the late 1980s coal was supplying as much as 70% of UK electricity," he told the BBC.
"We then had the dash for gas in the 1990s, with nuclear roughly contributing around 25%, and coal dropped below 50%."
He said the current thrust was to replace coal with gas but that renewables like wind and solar were also playing a bigger role - accounting for 25% of supply in 2015.
Hannah Martin, head of energy at Greenpeace UK, said the first day without coal in Britain since the Industrial Revolution "would mark a watershed in the energy transition".
However, Cordi O'Hara of the National Grid said coal still had a role to play as the UK transitioned to a low carbon system.
"Our energy mix continues to change and National Grid adapts system operation to embrace these changes."
Key moments for coal-fired power


A new Â£1.5m study aimed at improving care for premature babies is being launched by Sarah Brown, wife of former prime minister Gordon Brown.

The Theirworld Edinburgh Birth Cohort will track the development of 400 babies who are born before 32 weeks, following them to adulthood.
The research is being funded by the Theirworld global children's charity, which Mrs Brown founded.
Mrs Brown's first child Jennifer Jane lived for just 10 days.
She said: "This is a unique project which will help give babies the chance of the best start in life and Theirworld is proud to fund it."
About 15 million babies across the world are born prematurely, before 37 weeks, making them more at risk of suffering conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders and learning difficulties.
Researchers at Edinburgh University will follow 400 premature newborns, who are more at risk of suffering brain damage, collecting biological samples and brain scans as well as information on their educational attainment.
They will use this to help identify the causes and consequences of brain injury at birth but researchers also hope their work will help speed the development of new treatments that could improve the youngsters' health.
By following them over the course of their lives, the team also hopes to gain further understanding of how being born prematurely can affect health in later years.
Following the death of their first child in 2002, Mr and Mrs Brown set up a research fund to investigate the causes of premature births.
Mrs Brown was also one of the driving forces behind the establishment, in 2004, of the Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory, which is based at the University of Edinburgh.
She said: "Since the formation of the Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory 12 years ago, we have been strong supporters of the groundbreaking work of the brilliant young scientists there.
"Now, this new Theirworld project opens up the opportunity to really study the long-term effects of early birth to enhance learning and develop new approaches to help babies with a vulnerable start in life.
"We are so grateful to the families generously giving their time with their precious babies to share information and contribute to this study over the coming years."
Dr James Boardman, leading researcher at the Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory, said: "Every year around 15 million babies are born prematurely.
"In recent years survival rates for these children have improved but they often live with serious consequences of early brain injury, which limits their potential.
"Following children from birth to adulthood will help us understand the most important determinants of risk and resilience for long-term outcome after premature birth, and by studying biological samples we hope to develop treatments to improve their lifelong health."


A man has admitted murdering a couple found stabbed on a street near the Cardiff city centre Matalan shop where they worked.

Zoe Morgan, 21, and Lee Simmons, 33, were found dead near the Queen Street store on 28 September at 5:50 BST.
They had been in a relationship since July.
Andrew Saunders, 20, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to murder at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday. He will be sentenced in the New Year.
The discovery of the bodies of the couple led to the street being closed as police began their investigation.
Saunders was arrested later that day and then charged with their murder.
Miss Morgan, who worked as a window dresser, had recently graduated from the University of South Wales with an honours degree in fashion marketing and retail design.
It is believed the couple struck up a romance while working together.
In a tribute following the deaths, Miss Morgan's family said she was a "beautiful daughter, sister, granddaughter and auntie who had a heart of gold and would do anything for anybody."
Mr Simmons was a described as a genuine and lovely young man by a childhood friend, who added: "he always had a smile on his face and he was well loved".
Hundreds also attended vigils in memory of the couple around the city.
Judge Eleri Rees, the Recorder of Cardiff, remanded Saunders into custody.
The defendant, who had short brown hair and a beard and wore a blue hooded top, spoke only to confirm his name before entering guilty pleas.
He will be sentenced next year by Mrs Justice Nicola Davies.
Prosecutor Michael Jones said she would have to watch "disturbing" CCTV footage.


More than 100 English council leaders have backed government plans to devolve powers over Sunday trading hours ahead of a key Commons vote over the issue.

The Tory officials said councils were "best placed" to decide opening hours in the interests of communities.
Labour say the plans, which could see large stores open for more than the maximum six hours, are "pernicious".
The SNP has also said it will oppose the shake-up even though there are no trading restrictions in Scotland.
With more than 20 Conservative MPs threatening to rebel over the issue, there is a growing prospect of the government being defeated over the biggest proposed shake-up of Sunday trading laws for 20 years.
Since 1994, small shops - those up to 280 sq m, or 3,000 sq ft in size - in England and Wales can open when they want to on Sundays but larger stores are restricted to six hours between 10:00 and 18:00. Retailers can be fined up to Â£50,000 if they break the rules.
Ministers want to give English and Welsh councils the freedom to determine opening hours in their area, arguing this will benefit High Streets struggling to compete against online retailers. The move, they argue, is also in line with changing leisure and working patterns.
Ahead of Wednesday's vote on the Enterprise Bill, 102 Conservative councillors voiced their support for the move urging the government to "continue with proposals to localise these decisions and help us deliver what is best for our local communities".
"We want the government to put its trust in councils," they wrote in a letter to planning minister Brandon Lewis, stressing that councils wanted the flexibility to take into account a wide range of economic circumstances.
"We are best placed to make decisions about Sunday trading."
But the proposals face considerable opposition from across the political spectrum, with critics challenging the economic rationale for relaxing the laws and arguing that Sunday should be "kept special" for family time and other pursuits, including religious observance.
Conservative MP David Burrowes, one of 21 Tories backing an amendment to the legislation calling for any changes to be restricted to tourist locations, told the BBC that the government needed to quickly find a way out of "the mess" it was in.
"With the government looking down the barrel of a defeat, they have to listen hard to the concerns, particularly of Conservatives," he said. "Now I am confident that the government are very much listening to ways to negotiate this very difficult situation they have brought upon themselves."
Quirks of Sunday shopping
To make the most of their six hours, retailers invented the idea of "browsing time". The doors of the shop open 30 minutes or so before the tills open. Shoppers could find themselves queuing inside a store with a full trolley at 09:58, waiting for the cash register to start whirring.

The arguments over Sunday trading
Labour said a "sweeping deregulation" of Sunday trading laws - not mentioned in the Conservative election manifesto - was not acceptable.
"Defeating the government will be a victory for all of those who support the current arrangements which work well and mean retailers can trade, customers can shop, and shop workers can spend time with their families," said shadow business secretary Angela Eagle.
"I now urge the government to admit defeat and even at this late hour drop these pernicious plans."
The proposed changes will not apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland, which have their own arrangement in place.
Although there have never been any general trading restrictions in place in Scotland, and stores can theoretically open for as long as they like on a Sunday, the SNP said it could not support the relaxation of existing rules elsewhere in the UK.
Its deputy leader Stewart Hosie said Scottish workers were paid extra for working on Sundays and there were no guarantees these "premium pay" rates, worth thousands of pounds a year, would be protected if hours were extended elsewhere.
"Our primary concern throughout this entire debacle has been the protection of premium pay for workers in Scotland who work on a Sunday," he said.
"There are no protections and we believe if this turns into a seven-day-a week working operation on a UK-wide basis, those premium payments would be eroded. We are relying on guarantees or not from private businesses and that simply doesn't wash when we are talking about the incomes of perhaps a third of retail employees in Scotland."
But the government has rounded on the SNP over the issue.
"It's disappointing and hypocritical of the SNP to be trying to deny people the freedoms to shop that are already available to those they represent in Scotland," a source said.
"It's a particularly extraordinary position for a party that supposedly believes in devolution of powers from Whitehall to be seeking to stand in the way of local leaders in the rest of the UK being able to choose what's right for their communities and their economies."


The Republic of Ireland's Cabinet meeting to discuss the European Commission's decision that Ireland granted undue tax benefits of up to €13bn (£11bn) to Apple has been adjourned.

Finance Minister Michael Noonan said the Irish government will appeal the ruling.
Independent ministers have sought the recall of the Irish parliament if they are to back an appeal.
The meeting was adjourned until Friday.
After Wednesday's meeting, the Irish government said it had a "thorough discussion" on the European Commission's decision based on Mr Noonan's proposal that an appeal be lodged.
It said the cabinet had received a "detailed briefing" from Mr Noonan.
"Following the discussion, it was agreed to adjourn the meeting to allow further time to reflect on the issues and to clarify a number of legal and technical issues with the Attorney General's Office and with officials," the statement added.
"The government meeting will resume on Friday at 11am to make a decision on the matter."
Irish broadcaster RTÉ reports that independent ministers also sought a strong statement on tax policy if they are to back any government appeal.
Independent minister Katherine Zappone welcomed the adjournment and said it was important to allow time for the issues to be further explored.
Another independent minister Shane Ross said there had been a frank exchange of views at the meeting.
He said they had difficulties with taking any of the courses proposed at the meeting and did not know if those concerns would be met. He confirmed that the recall of the Irish parliament had been discussed.
The Irish government has said it "disagrees profoundly with the commission's analysis".
"Ireland did not give favourable tax treatment to Apple," it added.
"Ireland does not do deals with taxpayers. No fine or penalty has been levied against the Irish State.
"This decision has no effect on the 12.5% rate of corporation tax and is not about Ireland's wider corporation tax regime."
Speaking ahead of the meeting, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny said time was needed to absorb the European Commission's decision, which runs to 150 pages.
He said the decision created an "unprecedented situation" and it was important people had the opportunity to have any anxieties addressed and to raise questions that they may have.
"The government has made its position very clear as outlined by Mr Noonan so we will have a good discussion with our colleagues around the table about it," he said.
Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe rejected appeals for an early recall of the Irish parliament to discuss the Apple case.
The Independent Alliance said it is reviewing the commission's decision.
The European Commission said Ireland's tax rulings had allowed Apple to pay substantially less tax than other businesses.
The Irish system had allowed profits to be attributed to a head office that "only existed on paper", said Margrethe Vestager, the European Commissioner for Competition.
It all comes down to Ireland's reputation.
The Irish government has been criticised, particularly in the US, for almost being a tax haven similar to the Cayman Islands, something it strongly denies.
But €13bn is a huge amount of money:  It would go a long way towards solving the housing crisis in the Republic for example.
Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Labour are more or less of the view that the government should appeal against the ruling.
But Sinn Féin are calling for an independent assessment of whether or not Apple did get unfair treatment, whether it was human error or whether the system colluded to create this situation as the European Commission seems to believe.
It believes the government should not appeal and should spend the money.
The left-wing parties also believe the money should be spend in citizens' interests.
For them, it is a moral issue as to whether or not Apple are being getting unfair treatment given the amount of money ordinary people pay in their taxes.
Thirteen billion euros is approximately equivalent to a quarter of what the Irish government spends per year, and what it spends on health in total.
The Republic of Ireland's government is a minority one, with Fine Gael being propped up by independents.
It is not clear whether the Independent Alliance cabinet members will vote to appeal the decision.
Apple itself is appealing against the decision, saying: "The European Commission has launched an effort to rewrite Apple's history in Europe, ignore Ireland's tax laws and upend the international tax system in the process.
"The commission's case is not about how much Apple pays in taxes, it's about which government collects the money. It will have a profound and harmful effect on investment and job creation in Europe.
"Apple follows the law and pays all of the taxes we owe wherever we operate. We will appeal and we are confident the decision will be overturned."
The appeal will be made first to the General Court of the European Union in Luxembourg and then to European Court of Justice.
€13bn
demanded in back taxes. Equal to:
ALL of Ireland's  healthcare budget
66% of its social welfare bill
15 million iPhones
27% of Apple's 2015 profit
Apple chief executive Tim Cook has said the company is committed to Ireland and plans to continue investing.
Mr Cook has published a message on the company's website reiterating the organisation's commitment to Ireland.


Disney has become the first film studio to take $7bn (Â£5.7bn) in global ticket sales for 2016.

30 December 2016 Last updated at 17:39 GMT
In the last decade alone they've bought up Pixar, Marvel and Lucas Films which owned The Star Wars empire - leading to suggestions that they are now so powerful that they have colonised childhoods.
Children's author Michael Rosen says Disney can reinvent itself "like the Royal Family".
He told Radio 4's The World at One that Disney has been successful at selling itself by doing things "in an ambivalent way".


A motorist has admitted causing the death of a cycling safety campaigner who was knocked off his bike in a road rage incident.

John Radford was left in a coma after the dispute in Huddersfield in 2013. He died 16 months later.
Michael Gledhill, who was found guilty of dangerous driving last October, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving after Mr Radford died.
Mr Radford was the chairman of Huddersfield and District Cyclists.
He had been involved in a campaign calling for better investigation of road accidents.
Gledhill, 24, of Bramble Bank, Holmfirth, appeared at Leeds Crown Court and was told he would be sentenced on 12 January.
The court had previously heard how words were exchanged between Mr Radford and Gledhill through the driver's side window as they travelled on the A616 on 31 July, 2013.
Contact was made between the car and bike, which resulted in Mr Radford falling into the road and suffering brain damage.
Speaking after Mr Radford was injured, his friend and fellow cyclist Martyn Bolt said: "There was nobody more experienced and knowledgeable about cycling.
"He was cycling in the right part of the road, just at the wrong time."


Inside a long, poorly lit room several old men are lying on a row of bunk beds.

Many of them are so old they have to be carried out to the lunch room, where they are served a frugal meal of rice, lentils and vegetables.
This is a shelter run by Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in the Indian capital, Delhi.
The men have been abandoned by their families, who can no longer support them financially, and so are dropped off here.
Among them is Hira Lal, who has not got much time to live.
"My two sons brought me here - I've become so old and sick that they can't look after me anymore. I would have preferred to die at home with my family - but it's God's will that I spend my last days here," he says.
The nuns at the shelter tell me his family has never been back to see him. It's the case with almost everyone here.
It's also a situation that most of India's elderly are being increasingly forced to confront.
Only the rich or privileged have access to proper health care - the rest are increasingly forced to battle alone.
But 2,000km (1,242 miles) away, in Kerala, there is a ray of hope.
At the Institute of Palliative Medicine in Calicut, Dr Suresh Kumar checks on a patient, a poor fisherman who is suffering from lung cancer.
Moved by the pain and suffering of terminally ill patients, the doctor gave up his job as an anaesthetist to set up a ground-breaking palliative care system that has now spread across the state.
"Most of the problems faced by elderly people are not medical. A lot of the issues are social, emotional, issues of loneliness and a lack of money," he explains.
"Since it's not practical or even ideal for many of the patients to come to a medical facility, the idea is to go to them."
It is particularly necessary, he adds, because most Indians prefer to stay at home with their families in the final stages of their lives.
Just outside Calicut is the village of Nadery - lush green coconut trees surround the small, mud huts where most residents live.
One of them belongs to Tirumala, who is terminally ill.
She is lying on a bed laid out on the floor. Painfully thin, she moans occasionally and her back is covered with bed sores.
Today she is being visited by a group of volunteers - all college students.
They carefully tend to her, cleaning her wounds. She is too weak to go to hospital so this is the only kind of treatment she can receive.
The head of the group of volunteers is Mohammad Yunus, a management graduate who spends most of his time organising the palliative care programme.
"We are taking care of 1,330 patients and we have 500 dedicated volunteers, all from college campuses," he says.
"We have a strong presence in every village and the moment a person registers with us, our volunteers pay a visit within 24 hours."
Apart from offering medical attention, the focus is on involving the community - the family or, if there is not one, the neighbourhood.
"Since most people find it difficult to cope, financially or emotionally, with a terminally ill patient, it's important that we train them and also support them," Mr Yunus says.
Their operations run round the clock and the service is free - funded entirely by voluntary donations from ordinary members of the community - students, pensioners, businessmen and even the police.
As Dr Kumar says, the involvement of the community is critical to the programme's success.
"We're trying to build a safety net around the patient enabling the family to look after the patient and also offering medical support from our side," he says.
It is a model that many believe can - and should - be emulated elsewhere.
But Kerala has high literacy rates and a strong sense of community - a natural advantage over other parts of India where the vast majority of the country's elderly still find themselves cast out and forgotten as they near the end of their lives.


The pilots and paramedics of Scotland's only charity-funded air ambulance team have been voted Rural Heroes 2017.

Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) team were given the title at the Scottish Rural Awards in Edinburgh.
Judges described the service as "a crucial lifeline that Scotland simply could not do without".
SCAA has responded to more than 1,330 emergencies throughout the Scottish mainland and islands since its launch in 2013.
The competition judges said the Perth Airport-based pool of two pilots and five paramedics was the "unanimous choice" for the Rural Heroes Award.
Their citation said: "They are true heroes of remote communities, providing fast-response life-saving skills when they are most needed."
The judges said the team's "selfless and dedicated service" saw them operating in "difficult, stressful and highly demanding situations."
It added that the SCAA had saved "countless lives in the process."
SCAA Chief Executive David Craig said: "They claim they are just doing their job.
"But when that job involves the level of skill, dedication and physical and mental endurance they display every day of the year to bring their outstanding level of care to those most in need, wherever they are in Scotland, then it's not overstating the case to call them heroes.
"SCAA is extremely proud of our amazing crew who always go the extra mile and this Rural Heroes Award shows that this sentiment is echoed by the people of Scotland."


Spanish fashion giant Inditex has reported a 5% rise in annual net profit to €2.5bn (£1.8bn), thanks to a recovery in consumer spending.

The owner of the Zara fashion chain said like-for-like sales, which compare sales at stores open for at least a year, also rose 5%.
The retailer plans to open new stores in London, Barcelona and several US cities, including three in New York.
The company said it expected to open 420 to 480 new stores this year.
Inditex also said it would invest about €1.35bn this year, compared with €1.24bn in 2014.
It said the bulk of this investment continued to be earmarked for new store openings and the refurbishment and expansion of existing stores.
It confirmed a strategy of closing small stores and concentrating on larger flagship stores, such as the recent purchase of a building in New York's SoHo, which will house a new flagship Zara store.
The firm said up to 100 smaller stores would close this year.
Inditex's biggest challenge at present is to keep up with online-only fashion websites, including Germany's Zalando and the UK's Asos.
When it published half-year results in September, Inditex said Zara would be selling direct over the internet in 27 markets by the end of the month.


The integration of immigrants in Britain should "not be a two-way street", the author of a government report told MPs.

9 January 2017 Last updated at 18:36 GMT
Dame Louise Casey told the Commons Communities and Local Government Committee that the "host community" should not have to "give as much" as immigrants.
Questioned by Labour's Rushanara Ali, she compared integration to drivers entering a motorway via a slip road, saying: "People in the middle of the motorway need to accommodate and be gentle and kind to people coming in from the outside lane but we're all heading in the same direction."
Last month Dame Louise's report warned segregation and social exclusion were at "worrying levels" and fuelling inequality in some areas of Britain.


All payments to MLAs should be limited to a three-month period if direct rule becomes necessary, according to a body that used to set their pay.

The Independent Financial Review Panel (IFRP) left their post last June when their appointments expired.
In law it still exists, though the posts are vacant.
Members of the independent body have now written to Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire about MLAs' pay.
Pat McCartan, Alan McQuillan, and Etta Campbell said they understand the reason they have not been replaced is because Sinn Féin and the DUP are unable to agree a new system for overseeing expenses and pay.
In their letter, they told Mr Brokenshire: "Given our work and the general public disquiet expressed to the IFRP in every public consultation the panel undertook, we must strongly suggest that payments to MLAs in the absence of a functioning assembly and executive would be publicly regarded as unjustifiable.
"Also, that any future system for payments to MLAs needs strong and independent administration, supervision, and audit.
"If the government is therefore forced to suspend the assembly by Order in Council we strongly recommend that you consider strictly limiting the period for which members may draw salaries and expenses - perhaps to a period of three months to allow completion of any negotiations.
"We do not even see why expenses should be paid for this period as these are supposed to relate to the management of MLAs' constituency offices and without a functioning assembly the work that can be done in these is very limited."
Mr Brokenshire has said the primary responsibility lies with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin to use the "limited window" now open to form a new power-sharing executive.
It follows Thursday's election which ended a unionist majority at Stormont.
The parties have just three weeks to overcome their differences and form an executive.
If a government cannot be formed within that time then, under law, another election could be called.
Ultimately, if no power-sharing government is formed, power could return to the UK Parliament at Westminster for the first time in a decade.


Simon Andrews will ride for the German Penz13.com BMW Racing team at the Isle of Man TT races, which start on 24 May.

The 29-year-old from Evesham is currently recovering from injuries sustained while competing in the World Endurance at Le Mans.
"I'm looking forward to meeting all the team and really seeing what we can do together," Andrews said.
I believe the team will give me a good competitive bike
Andrews will also compete for the team at the North West 200 earlier in May and November's Macau Grand Prix.
The Worcestershire man has almost completely recovered from the serious leg injuries he sustained during the 24-hour race last September.
His career has been blighted by a series of horrendous injuries following crashes at Thruxton, in the 2012 Superbike TT, and then at Le Mans.
Team principal Rico Penzkofer, a former Isle of Man TT and North West 200 competitor, said: "We've been in negotiations with Simon for a while.
"He was scheduled to ride for us at last year's Macau Grand Prix before his accident - so I'm really pleased that we've now signed him."
Andrews' TT record includes four top-15 finishes, including 11th place in last year's Superstock race. His fastest lap of the Mountain Course to date is 126.001 mph.
He added: "I've raced against Rico and know his bikes are well built.
"I've had some success with BMW already when I started on the roads earlier in my career. With the help and support of BMW I believe the team will give me a good competitive bike."


Sam Davies came off the bench to guide Ospreys to a comeback win over Clermont Auvergne that puts them top of Pool Two in the European Champions Cup.

The replacement fly-half kicked 15 points after the break to put the Welsh region within touching distance of the quarter-finals.
Clermont, who drop to second with one game left, looked in full control after a dominant first half put them 13-6 up.
But the French side's grip loosened and Davies was faultless with the boot.
Clermont left without even a losing bonus-point, and Ospreys will now head to the final game at Exeter on 24 January with their destiny in their own hands as they seek to reach the last eight for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
The match lacked the flair, verve and drama of the previous meeting in November, where Ospreys scored two tries in the final two minutes to secure two losing bonus points in an eight-try thriller.
But the Welsh region displayed admirable grit - with captain Alun Wyn Jones leading by example and flanker Justin Tipuric again outstanding - and Davies showed maturity beyond his 22 years to steer them to victory.
Wesley Fofana's try after six minutes set the tone for an enterprising first half for the visitors, who looked far more comfortable and threatening while building pressure through possession.
They also won the forward battle with ease as the home pack found themselves on the back foot at almost every set-piece.
Ospreys kept in touch through Dan Biggar's two penalties, with the second successful penalty awarded after a bizarre push by Clermont flanker Viktor Koleishvili on referee Wayne Barnes.
The Georgian was fortunate to escape without seeing a card - yellow or red - but the indiscretion contributed to his sin-binning midway through the half after a tame scuffle with home lock Jones.
Ospreys failed to capitalise, and even found themselves under more pressure, although Eli Walker wasted a clear try-scoring opportunity by kicking ahead rather than feeding the on-rushing Brendon Leonard.
Clermont's dominance slowly began to evaporate after the break and the home side's confidence grew, despite losing Biggar to a dead leg.
Davies proved to be a trusted replacement, and his two penalties and a drop-goal in a purple 10 minutes suddenly put the home side two points ahead going into the final 10 minutes.
Clermont were rattled and jaded, and two further indiscretions allowed Davies to add another six points, with the last-minute penalty ensuring the French side returned home without even a losing bonus point.
Ospreys coach Steve Tandy said: "I'm extremely proud of the players and I think they got what they deserved.
"To come back from 13-6 down against a really experienced Clermont team was a real team effort.
"We haven't got many glittering individuals as other European teams but we've got a massive team ethic and spirit."

The Pakistani Supreme Court has set up its own inquiry into the death of an official who was investigating corruption allegations against Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf.

The chief justice said there were concerns an inquiry ordered by the government would not be free and fair.
The official, Kamran Faisal, was found hanged on Friday in the government hostel in Islamabad where he lived.
Police say he may have taken his own life, but his family allege foul play.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says the court's move is likely to be welcomed by Mr Faisal's family and by colleagues at the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) where he worked.
Many NAB officials have been on strike as part of a campaign to demand a separate inquiry into what they see as his mysterious death.
Speaking in court, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry described Mr Faisal's death as "shocking".
"His family members, colleagues, friends and the public at large have shown annoyance and grievances," Justice Chaudhry said.
"And according to them, they are not expecting a free, fair and honest investigation because of the involvement of highly influential political and executive authorities."
Two Supreme Court judges will hold their first hearing into Mr Faisal's death on Thursday. Their investigation will operate in parallel to the judicial inquiry ordered by the interior ministry on Sunday.
Some police investigators say Mr Faisal may have been on anti-depressants at the time he died, which might support claims he took his life. But his family say his body bore marks of torture, suggesting he was murdered.
Mr Faisal had been helping lead the investigation into alleged bribes paid by power firms when Mr Ashraf was minister for water and power in 2010. The prime minister denies wrongdoing.
Last week, the Supreme Court ordered his arrest along with 15 officials also accused in the so-called Rental Power Projects case.
But the prime minister appears unlikely to be detained soon - the head of the NAB has said there is not enough evidence to justify such a move.
The bureau has suspended its investigation into the case, pending the outcome of the inquiries into the death of Mr Faisal.


Worcestershire have become the latest county to back the England and Wales Cricket Board's proposed new eight-team city-based T20 competition.

County chairman Stephen Taylor revealed that they took their decision following a vote by the club's board.
Each county is guaranteed revenue of £1.3m from the competition, which is planned to get under way in 2020.
The only two counties who have so far not backed the ECB proposal are Essex and Middlesex.
"The new competition will provide much-needed revenue to all clubs," said Taylor. "With significant additional investment in recreational cricket - something we are very keen to develop.
"The preservation of all formats of cricket at New Road is fundamentally important. This will go a long way to protecting the four-day game, 50-over competition's and the T20 Blast."
The changes require the support of 31 out of 41 of the ECB's voting members, which comprise the 18 first-class counties, 21 recreational boards, the Minor Counties Cricket Association, and the MCC - owners of Lord's and Middlesex's landlord.
A number of counties have come out in support of the proposals for the new tournament.
Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Somerset, Sussex, Yorkshire and Durham have all announced that they will back the ECB rule change, while Kent have abstaned.
Others, including Glamorgan, Hampshire and Warwickshire - the only county who already play their T20 cricket under a city banner as Birmingham Bears - have been vocal in their support for a city-based competition, while Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart has expressed concern over the details of the new event.


Detailed designs for the £500m redevelopment of Oxford's Westgate Centre will be unveiled at a public exhibition.

Site owner Westgate Oxford Alliance will showcase the plans at the Westgate Consultation suite in the centre from 10:00 to 17:30 BST until Wednesday.
The revamp includes 100 shops and 122 homes, as well as a cinema, eateries and a basement car park.
Permission to transform the 1973-built centre was granted in March.
Residents can also comment on the plans online and a further exhibition is planned for the summer to show how the designs have progressed.
The detailed designs will form part of a planning application due for submission later this year.
BDP Architects is co-ordinating the work of Allies & Morrison Architects, Dixon Jones Architects, Glenn Howells Architects, Panter Hudspith Architects and landscape architects Gillespies.
The redevelopment is expected to be completed by 2017.
Plans to redevelop the area have been considered since 1988, but various concerns delayed any progress.


Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray says he is ready to resume playing and prove his fitness for the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand.

The Munster man has not played since the penultimate round of the Six Nations in March because of a shoulder-related nerve injury.
Murray needs to play for his club in the Pro12 to show Lions head coach Warren Gatland he is OK to travel.
"Hopefully I will be playing really soon," said the 28-year-old.
"Potentially, I will be involved this weekend, we will wait and see how we go. It is pretty positive.
"I would put a good bet on being back for the semi-final. With the way I have been progressing over the last couple of weeks, it would suggest that I am ready to play."
Munster host Connacht on Saturday and then play in the Pro12 semi-final on 20 May, again at Thomond Park.
Murray added: "I have been training with the lads for the last couple of weeks and on Wednesday did full contact, tackling people and taking proper hits, getting tackled myself and feeling pretty good."


The wife of a passenger on flight MH370 has called on the Malaysian authorities to "put more effort" into finding out why the plane disappeared.

Mingfei Ma married Yuchen Li a few weeks before he boarded the airliner.
He had just received his engineering doctorate from Cambridge University, where she is still a student.
His widow said the discovery of debris believed to be from the Malaysian Airways plane had not brought families any closer to knowing what happened.
She told BBC Look East: "I strongly disagree with the Malaysian authorities who said the discovery of debris is 'closure' for the families.
"It's not even the beginning of closure - it is just the beginning."
The aircraft, which had 239 people onboard, was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March 2014 when air traffic control staff lost contact.
For more than a year Dr Li's widow continued to hope the man she married in February 2014 was still alive, but on 29 July airliner debris was found washed up on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion.
The Malaysian authorities believe it is from the missing aeroplane, but French experts examining the finds have stopped short of confirming the link.
Dr Li's wife, who returned to Churchill College in Cambridge in October to continue her doctorate in architecture, said: "It's not only about finding the plane, it's about why it was there.
"I do want to find a reason for the crash and the authorities need to put more effort into the investigation."
She paid tribute to her "amazing" husband, who received his engineering doctorate from Churchill College in January 2014.
Dr Li was flying to Beijing to begin a new job and to support his wife's family, with the intention that she would join him in China following her graduation.
She said she was "so grateful" but she would "always regret" the decision.

Andy Carter, Tom Knight and Scott Elstone have all left Derbyshire after their contracts with the county were cancelled by mutual consent.

Seam bowler Carter, 27, joined from neighbours Nottinghamshire last September on a two-year deal.
He took 20 wickets for Derbyshire in 16 appearances across all formats.
Neither Knight, 23, nor Elstone, 26, who are both all-rounders, have made a first-team appearance for Derbyshire this season.
Meanwhile, former Derbyshire and England all-rounder Dominic Cork is to work with the current squad as a bowling consultant as they try to secure quarter-final places in the T20 Blast and One-Day Cup.
"Dominic is an experienced cricketer who knows how to win, claiming silverware with both Derbyshire and Hampshire during his playing career," cricket advisory director Kevin Dean told the club website.
Derbyshire are fifth in the T20 Blast North Group with one game to play, with only the top four progressing to the knockout stage.
They began Sunday's One-Day Cup match against Notts on top of their group in that competition.


Mansfield Town have signed Nottingham Forest defender Alex Iacovitti on a season-long loan.

Iacovitti, 18, made his senior debut for Forest in their 4-3 opening day victory over Burton Albion.
Stags manager Adam Murray bolstered his defensive options after Kyle Howkins suffered an hamstring injury in Tuesday's loss to Doncaster Rovers.
"He's an old-school centre half who can play and has good pace," Murray told the club website.

Virgin East Coast rail workers have voted to go out on strike in a dispute over job cuts, working conditions and safety, the RMT union has said.

Five out of six (84%) of those who voted in the ballot backed walkouts and the union said its leaders will now consider their next move.
Destinations on the line include London, Aberdeen, Inverness and Hull.
Virgin Trains responded to the result by saying it would run a full timetable during any RMT strike action.
The two sides are in dispute over staffing changes, which the company says would have no impact on safety and no compulsory job losses.
The union's general secretary Mick Cash said: "RMT will not sit back while nearly 200 members' jobs are under threat and also conditions and safety are put at risk."
David Horne, managing director for Virgin Trains on the east coast, said: "With our guarantees that there will be no compulsory redundancies, no impact on safety and a full timetable in place during any action, we urge the RMT not to call a strike which will cost its members pay for no reason, and to rejoin us around the negotiating table."


Coach Antonio Conte will miss Juventus's defence of their Italian title after the 10-month suspension he was handed following a match-fixing investigation was upheld.

He was banned for not reporting alleged match-fixing in two games involving ex-club Siena in the 2010-11 season.
He has now been acquitted over the Novara game, but the 10-month ban remains for the Albinoleffe match.
Conte is expected to launch a second appeal, to be heard in September.
Last season the 43-year-old former Italy international led unbeaten Juventus to the Serie A title in his first season in charge.
Juventus, who will begin the defence of their league title against Parma on 25 August with technical director Massimo Carrera in charge, have said they will stand by Conte.
Conte's assistant at Siena and Juventus, Angelo Alessio, has had his original eight month ban reduced to six months on appeal.
The tribunal also confirmed that Juventus players Leonardo Bonucci and Simone Pepe have been cleared.
Marco Di Vaio and Daniele Portanova had each been suspended for six months for their alleged failure to report match-fixing in the Bologna v Bari match of May 2011, but former Italy international Di Vaio has been acquitted.
Lecce's demotion to the Lega Pro - the third tier of Italian football - was confirmed, but the decision to hand Grosetto the same fate has been overturned.
The three-year suspension of former Siena defender Emanuele Pesoli, who chained himself to the gates of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for four days in protest at the call, was upheld.
The FIGC's disciplinary tribunal has been investigating 13 clubs - mainly from the second division - in the latest match-fixing scandal to hit Italian football.
The investigation comes six years after a similar scandal deprived Juventus of two titles.


Five-time champion Rafael Nadal proved too strong for Andy Murray as he battled past the Briton in straight sets to reach the French Open final.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Spaniard, celebrating his 25th birthday, refused to be blown off course by the gusting wind as he sealed a 6-4 7-5 6-4 victory on Court Philippe Chatrier, and he now awaits the winner of the second semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
Nadal might well have lost his grip on the world number one ranking by Sunday's final, with Djokovic poised to replace him next week should he win his semi-final, but he will still have the huge incentive of potentially matching Bjorn Borg's record six French Open titles.
For Murray, a best-ever run at Roland Garros ended with a defeat that was widely predicted against a man who has now won 44 matches, and lost only one, in seven trips to the French Open.
Britain's 75-year wait for a men's Grand Slam singles champion to follow Fred Perry goes on, and Paris always seemed the least likely venue for Murray to make the breakthrough, but he had his chances to extend Nadal further than the three sets they played.
Nadal once saved 16 of 17 break points against Federer in a Roland Garros final and his powers of recovery were similarly evident as he saw off 15 of 18 against Murray, while taking six of 13 earned.
It was a close match. I didn't feel like I played poorly when it was close. I had a chance in the end of the first set to get back on level terms and didn't quite take it, but I had a lot of break-point opportunities
After breaking for 2-1 with a forehand whipped down the line, the Spaniard then saw off four break-back chances in a gripping fourth game thanks in part to one stunning defensive backhand, as well as a slice of fortune when a mishit forehand dropped on the baseline.
The first four games had taken 28 minutes but it looked like the set would be over within another 10 when Nadal broke once again and moved 5-1 clear, only for the top seed to hand one of the breaks back with a surprisingly poor eighth game.
Murray has played his best tennis when behind this fortnight and he did so once again, winning two punishing rallies on set points for Nadal and looking ready to level at 5-5, but two more break points went begging when the Scot was caught out by some vicious topspin and a superb Nadal serve-volley.
The Spaniard took the set but Murray had let him know he was a real threat and the world number four was the first to make a move in the second, only for a huge gust of wind to disrupt him on break point of game two, before Nadal saved a second with a blistering forehand and a cry of "Vamos!"
When Murray played a disastrous game that included a double fault and a poor drop shot to slip 3-2 behind, there seemed to be an inevitability about where the match was heading, but incredibly Nadal gifted him the break back with a double fault for 3-3.
Two more breaks followed in quick succession, Nadal taking his chance with a quite brilliant rally of huge hitting and sharp angles before Murray levelled once again with a return right at the champion's toes.
A tie-break loomed large but Nadal had other ideas at 5-5, ignoring the sight of a spectator's hat blowing across the court to recover from 40-15 down and convert his third break point of the game with another spectacular off-forehand.
This time he did not let his opponent back into the set and, with dark clouds moving across the stadium court and the wind continuing to interject, a break at the start of the third proved enough, despite another six break points coming and going for Murray.
A time of three hours and 17 minutes for three sets spoke of a real contest, but for the 44th time at Roland Garros it was always Nadal who looked like prevailing.

"It was a close match, a lot of close games," said Murray. "I didn't feel like I played poorly when it was close.
"I had a chance in the end of the first set to get back on level terms and didn't quite take it, but I had a lot of break-point opportunities.
"Rafa played well on a lot of them. He served well and was able to dictate a lot of the points with his forehand. Some of them I didn't play that well."
Asked about the effect of the gusting wind, the BBC Sport columnist added: "It was difficult. It happened a few times at crucial moments for me but probably wouldn't have changed the outcome of the match.
"It was the same for both of us - I'm sure he had some points that he would have liked to have done things a bit better. For the most part, it was a good match."
