The BBC has learned that European meat suppliers are using a loophole in the law to sell a banned low quality material to UK sausage makers.

Emails indicate that suppliers are selling a form of mechanically recovered residue under different names so that it can be legally termed meat in Britain.
One of the UK's biggest sausage suppliers admitted that some of this meat is in their products but where used it is always declared.
Another manufacturer told the BBC he believes the product is being widely used in Britain.
In April 2012 the European Union told the British government that a type of mechanically separated meat (MSM) used across the UK could no longer count towards the meat content of a product.
Called desinewed meat (DSM), it had been introduced into the UK in the 1990s and supporters argued that it was a higher form of recovered meat, retrieved from animal bones using low pressure water. Visually it is said to be similar to a fine mince, and closer to meat than the more liquid MSM "slurry".
The EU said DSM could still be used in UK meat products but could not be considered part of the meat content. This ban should also apply to desinewed meat across every member state.
But the BBC has learned that across Europe many suppliers continue to produce desinewed meat using different names including "Baader meat" and "3mm mince".
Baader meat is made using a machine from the Baader company in Germany and according to a spokesman, the device removes the membrane and the sinew and in the end "it is meat!"
Suppliers that use the Baader system in Germany, the Netherlands, France and Spain all stated they believed their desinewed products are outside the EU ban and can count towards the meat content of sausages and other foods.
In e-mails seen by the BBC, some of these companies say they are very keen to supply it to the UK.
"My information is that you only have to declare MSM, and Baader no," said one German based supplier.
"I know it is very strange but I didn't invent these laws," he writes.
A supplier of chicken meat made a similar point in another email: "Declarable MSM is derived from chickens with all the meat and skin in its original format and minced via the Baader machine, all the bones are separated mechanically. This format can be declared as meat in the ingredients."
Mark Fiddy is the managing director of Poultex, a UK based international meat and poultry trading firm. I asked him if his company sold Baader meat in the UK.
"Well we supply that product, I can't say who we supply it to or what they do with it, but we supply that product," he said.
I asked him if that Baader meat can count towards the actual meat content of a sausage in the UK.
He replied: "Well we buy and sell it, we're not responsible for the end labelling and what goes on meat contents and things like that."
Freshlink Foods is the largest private label frozen sausage supplier in the UK retail market. When contacted by BBC News they admitted that they did use Baader meat.
"Some Baader meat is used in our own branded product that goes into the foodservice market. Where used, this is clearly declared," they said in a statement.
Freshlink is a subsidiary of ABP Food Group, the company that owns Silvercrest Foods where the first products with equine DNA were discovered in January.
Other people close to the food processing industry in the UK suggest that the use of Baader meat is widespread.
Kevin McWhinney is a sausage maker in Northern Ireland who has been campaigning against the use of these types of meat residues for years.
"The UK should not be using this Baader meat but as far as I am aware it is coming into the country and is being used," he said.
This perspective is supported by Matt Starling, a lawyer with the firm Geldards who specialises in regulatory issues.
"We know that there are significant (EU) exports of Baader meat, and it is fair to assume, and that's the government's view, that it is being used to replace DSM," he told BBC News.
"And that view of the government was strongly made by the minister last year and is shared, as I understand, by the FSA."
He said there was a legal inconsistency between the UK and the EU because the Commission hadn't specifically banned the Baader meat process.
"The matter hasn't been tested, but as things stand there appears to be no clear legal redress if a company does export Baader and it is used to replace the products that we were producing ourselves until they were banned last year."
When contacted by the BBC, a spokesman for the EU said that as far as the Union is concerned Baader meat is MSM.
Sausage maker Kevin McWhinney's family have been in the business for five generations - he agrees wholeheartedly with the position taken by the EU. Whether the process is called Baader meat or DSM or 3mm mince, to him it was all the same.
"The powers that be would have you think its different because it uses a low pressure - but it is the same bones, same scraps off the bones, the same machines, just with different pressure. Someone's just trying to invent a new product," he said.
Many people connected to the meat industry in Britain say the EU has "used a sledgehammer" against the UK on this issue, while letting other European countries effectively get away with continuing to sell similar products without restrictions.
Dr Duncan Campbell is one of Britain's most senior food inspectors and head of West Yorkshire Analytical Services.
"What is clear is that there is a lack of uniformity of enforcement of EU regulation - and that is the loophole that is allowing material to be counted as meat in another European member state - the same product would not be considered meat in the UK," he said.
But there is also the sense that the intense downward pressure on prices driven by supermarkets is pushing manufacturers to find the cheapest ingredients.
One EU based meat supplier pointed out that a half kilo of sausages was selling in one supermarket for less than a euro.
It was impossible, he said, to produce meat at that price without cutting corners.
Bottled water is more expensive than this, he added.

During January, millions of people will be attempting to curtail their vices by keeping to new year resolutions.

Stopping smoking or reducing excess drinking will be on the wish list for many, but you are unlikely to hear friends and family announce they have decided to quit a gambling habit.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average household in the UK spent £166 last year on having a flutter, a fairly large sum when budgets are squeezed.
That is up 50 pence on the previous year. It is 60 pence more a week than the average household spent on going to the cinema, theatre or museums combined (but still £1.40 a week less than they spent on their pets).
The vast majority of betting is well within the limits of the amount people can afford to lose, and the thrill of the game is sufficient reward. So when does this financial fun become expensive excess?
About two-thirds of adults will have a bet in the course of the year.
Sources: Health and Social Care Information Centre; ONS
That includes 68% of men and 61% of women, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre's (HSCIC) 2012 Health Survey for England.
If that seems quite high, the explanation is a gambling game that was launched in the UK 20 years ago.
For a stake of £1, the main National Lottery draw gave players a long-shot chance of becoming a millionaire. The price of a ticket has recently risen to £2.
This is by far the most popular form of gambling in the country, ahead of scratch cards and betting on horse racing, according to the HSCIC report.
Excluding those who only played the lottery, 46% of men and 40% of women had gambled in the previous 12 months, the survey suggested.
Two other developments, in addition to the lottery, have arguably brought gambling further into the mainstream.
The first is the opportunity for operators of casinos and bookmakers to advertise on television and radio since the market was liberalised in 2007.
Research for communications regulator Ofcom found that the total number of gambling advertisement spots shown on television increased from 152,000 in 2006 to 1.39 million in 2012.
The largest number of adverts were about bingo, which research suggests is more popular among women than many other forms of gambling.
The second development is the advance of online gambling. Smartphones and tablet computers have allowed people to gamble at any time of day without having to leave their own homes.
Many of these websites and apps have also developed chat rooms or communities to allow players to interact, with some listing the acronyms for players to use in text-message-style language.
"Younger people are trying out new things. They are comfortable with the technology, but they do not understand the risks," says Dirk Hansen, chief executive of GamCare, which runs a helpline and forums for those who are getting into difficulty.
Fewer than one in 100 people in England are "problem gamblers", according to the HSCIC survey.
Problem gambling is defined as "gambling to a degree which compromises, disrupts or damages family, personal or recreational pursuits". Among the symptoms they can face are insomnia and depression.
GamCare, which receives 35,000 calls and messages a year from gamblers, says the effects impact on the lives of those around problem gamblers, at home and at work.
That was certainly the case for Justyn Larcombe, 44, a former major in the Army, who seemed to have it all, then lost it.
"I was at the peak of my career [in financial services]. I had a lovely house, I drove a Porsche, we had lovely holidays with our two young children. We had everything we wanted," he says.
His first bet was a £5 wager on the outcome of a rugby match he was watching at home, "which unfortunately I won", he says.
It did not take long for him to become a compulsive gambler, first on sports bets and later on online roulette. He admits he had the personality that meant he hated to lose, so he started to chase his losses, but he also had time to fill.
He found he did not have money for the grocery bills, he was juggling 12 payday loans and had heavy borrowing on credit cards.
That meant a rush on payday to transfer funds before they disappeared on repaying debts.
"I would be standing outside in the freezing cold in my dressing gown at two o'clock in the morning ringing my bank asking them to transfer money into my betting account, rather than payday lenders getting it, or it going out on direct debits," he says.
The only release when he was in that emotional spiral, he says, was another bet.
His lowest point came when his wife left having found his bank statement. He owed five months' rent and was about to be evicted. He sold wedding gifts and the rings she left and blew it almost instantly.
"I just had a black bin liner of clothes left to my name after 43 years of my life. Over the course of three years, I probably lost £750,000, I lost my house, my job, but most of all I had lost the trust my wife had in me," he says.
He turned his life around after feeling humiliated in front of his mother, whom he went to stay with.
GamCare says that those at risk of developing a problem are those who have a history of gambling in the family or those who start at a young age.
One in 20 men aged between 16 and 24 are at moderate risk or are already considered to be problem gamblers, according to the HSCIC report.
Mr Larcombe believes that the abundance of advertising is one of the reasons that people get drawn into a gambling problem, as well as the access to online websites day and night. However, the industry says advertising is still regulated carefully.
GamCare suggests that anyone who finds themselves in trouble should always talk to somebody.
Each website has a page about gambling responsibly and, when registering, players can set limits on the amount of time and money they spend on the site.
For those going into bookmakers, staff are trained to spot and assist anyone who is showing signs of going over the top, according to Peter Craske, of the Association of British Bookmakers.
He says the industry is also introducing a new code of practice to ensure people are betting responsibly.
"We can do more and we will do more," he says.
With eight million people visiting a betting shop every year, including an increasing number of women, it is clear that everyone needs to keep their head and not bet beyond their means.


The government is considering a ban on unpaid internships, amid concerns they give richer candidates an unfair boost in the race to get top jobs.

Work and Pensions Minister Damian Hinds said "sought-after" roles in popular industries such as media and fashion were not available to everybody.
On Friday, MPs will debate plans to pay interns at least the minimum wage.
The bill's sponsor, Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke, called unpaid work a "scourge on social mobility".
The proposed National Minimum Wage (Workplace Internships) Bill would require companies to pay interns at least the minimum wage for their work.
Any adult hired as an intern would have to be paid, but the bill excludes school-age children, apprentices and full-time university and college students completing work experience as part of their studies.
Government minister Damian Hinds told ITV's Peston on Sunday programme unpaid internships were not an option for many poorer young people.
Mr Hinds said: "In the media, in fashion, in these very sought-after occupations, these unpaid internships aren't actually accessible to everybody.
"It's important for social mobility that everybody has a crack at getting into the particularly competitive industries."
Mr Hinds's comments echo concerns that unpaid work disadvantages poorer people, who may not be able to rely on family support to cover their living costs.
Mr Shelbrooke said: "Unpaid internships are a scourge on social mobility.
"I'm confident that this government is serious about building a Britain that works for everyone and not just the privileged few so I look forward to government support for my bill."
Responding to the suggestion that having to pay interns might stop employers taking them on, Mr Shelbrooke said: "There are a number of businesses such as KMPG, Ernst & Young and Pimlico Plumbers that already offer paid internships, showing that there really is no excuse for profit-making companies not to pay their workforce."


Business Secretary Sajid Javid has ruled out returning to proposals to make it easier for firms to sack staff using "no fault" dismissals.

The Beecroft report on employment law in 2012 suggested small firms be able to dismiss people without a reason, in return for paid compensation.
But the plan, which would have cut unfair dismissal cases, was blocked in the coalition by the Lib Dems.
Mr Javid told the Andrew Marr Show: "I won't be looking at that again."
The newly appointed business secretary, whose job was held by Lib Dem Vince Cable in the last parliament, said the Enterprise Bill in Wednesday's Queen's Speech would propose a series of measures to cut red tape.
"What we will be doing, though, is looking at deregulation, taking it even further.
"During the last Parliament we have saved businesses from about £10bn of costs collectively in regulation and I think we can do at least that again."
"The other thing I want to do is help more small businesses with some of the challenges they face, not just red tape but especially the issue of late payments.
"Small businesses in our country are owed, I think, about £30bn - that's a record high in late payments so we're going to set up a small business conciliation service to help deal with that."
Mr Javid said "all sorts of issues" would be looked at, with businesses and others asked to bring forward ideas on deregulation.
He added: "I also want to take a look at regulators to see if... [they] can be made part of a system to help cut regulation on businesses."


Grammar schools in England may ask parents for hundreds of pounds a year to cope with funding cuts, their head teachers' association has warned.

A majority of grammars will be left worse off by proposed funding changes, according to analysis by the Grammar School Heads' Association.
A number of Conservative MPs are urging the government to change its plans.
But the Department for Education said it was ending a postcode lottery in school funding.
The new system is designed to support deprived areas by reallocating existing funding.
But the Grammar School Heads' Association has said that while 60 grammar schools will gain, 103 are set to lose money, 62 of which will receive cuts as deep as any in England.
Grammar schools: What are they?
Grammar schools: Check your area
The head of Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, Tim Gartside, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he and his governors were considering asking for voluntary contributions of Â£30 or Â£40 a month from parents if the cuts took place.
Mr Gartside, who also speaks for the Grammar School Heads' Association, said "many other" grammars were considering a similar move.
"What we're looking at here is funding which is fundamentally going to change the nature of grammar schools," he said.
Some grammars already use parental contributions to help cover spending.
Southend High School has folded parental contributions into its main accounts for two years and is increasingly using it to contribute to spending on salaries and library books.
Latymer School in north London has asked parents for contributions to help cover a funding shortfall, and expects more schools to do likewise.
Schools are not allowed to charge for education in school hours, but no law prevents them from asking for voluntary contributions for the benefit of the school or any school activities.
The existing funding system for grammar schools was criticised for being arbitrary and tending to give more money to city schools than those in suburbs and shire counties.
The co-chair of the F40 campaign for fairer funding, Conservative MP Alex Chalk, said there was concern about the risk of replacing one geographical injustice with another.
The campaign spent years pushing for funding reform.
He welcomed the fact the funding rules were being rewritten, but said: "The bottom line is that it's created some distorted outcomes which we think require some significant remodelling."
Ministers face pressure from other Conservative MPs concerned about proposed cuts affecting schools of all kinds in their constituencies.
Some of them privately expect the government to change its plans.
A number of Tories are backing heads' demands for a minimum per pupil funding guarantee that teachers and MPs proposed to the schools minister Nick Gibb in a meeting at the start of the year.
One head who attended the meeting - Sarah Burns of the Sandbach Boys School free school, Cheshire - said she would have to consider running her school on a four-day week, scrapping the sixth form or cutting arts subjects from the syllabus.
She said: "They are absolutely realistic possibilities given the level of cuts and the fact that we've already cut to the bone.
"Given those levels of cuts we will have to take some really hard decisions like those."
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: "We are going to end the historic postcode lottery in school funding.
"Under the proposed national schools funding formula, more than half of England's schools will receive a cash boost in 2018-19."
A consultation on the proposed new funding formula is to run until March.


The British and Irish Lions took a major step towards a first series victory in 16 years with a pulsating opening-Test win over Australia in Brisbane.

A dramatic conclusion to a compelling encounter saw Wallabies replacement Kurtley Beale miss a penalty with the last kick of the game that would have snatched victory.
The Lions led 13-12 at half-time via George North's stunning try and two Leigh Halfpenny penalties after a brace of tries for Australia wing debutant Israel Folau.
Alex Cuthbert's try stretched the Lions' lead, but two penalties from Beale brought the hosts to within two points.

He had two opportunities to steal victory, but sliced the first wide with five minutes left and then slipped as he connected with his last-minute effort amid unbearable tension.
That meant 14 points had gone begging in missed kicks for Australia, with James O'Connor also failing with two penalties and a conversion.
The Lions' relief at their good fortune was palpable, but they will head to Melbourne for the next instalment mindful that the team which won the first Test in each of the last two series between the sides, in 1989 and 2001, ended up losing it.
The match had barely started when Wallabies centre Christian Leali'ifano got his head in the wrong position trying to tackle Jonathan Davies and appeared to knock himself out.
Halfpenny immediately alerted referee Chris Pollock and the centre was taken off on a cart only 52 seconds into his debut.
A second player, full-back Berrick Barnes, departed in the same fashion two minutes before half-time after smashing into a retreating Folau.
The ex-rugby league international and Aussie Rules footballer had already marked his own debut in stunning style by then, however.
After O'Connor had missed two early shots at goal as the Lions struggled to come to terms with Pollock's interpretation at the breakdown, Folau made an explosive entry to Test rugby in the 13th minute.
The Lions had spent several minutes hammering away at the Wallabies defence before the hosts won a penalty on their own 22.
The ever-dangerous Will Genia took a quick tap and raced away to halfway, waited for Halfpenny to commit himself before sending a delicate chip into the path of Folau, who picked up and sprinted over. This time O'Connor couldn't miss from in front of the posts.
The momentum was all with the hosts, Cuthbert fumbling a Genia box-kick under no pressure, Genia sending prop Benn Robinson through a gap.
But after strong charges from Jamie Heaslip and Mike Phillips, Wallabies captain James Horwill was pinged for coming in at the side and Halfpenny made it 7-3 with a confident swing of his right boot.
North then made his own explosive entrance to this series. Collecting a Barnes clearance 10m inside his own half, the giant Welsh wing eluded Pat McCabe's initial attempted tackle and O'Connor's ankle tap, then scorched away in an arcing run to the left corner, leaving Barnes in his wake in a manner reminiscent of the way his predecessor in the Lions number 11 shirt, Jason Robinson, undid Chris Latham 12 years ago.
Halfpenny nailed the touchline conversion and minutes later North was over in at the left corner again, barging through Genia and Folau's tackles to dot down. But television match official Vinny Munro ruled North's left elbow was fractionally in touch as he grounded the ball.
But Pollock had already blown for offside in the build-up and Halfpenny stretched the Lions' lead.
Australia hit back immediately when the supremely athletic Folau was released into space, stepping inside Sexton and beating Halfpenny to score his second.
But O'Connor's third miss of the night from the tee meant the Lions remained in front.
Beale, on for the unfortunate Barnes, received an immediate welcome from Tom Croft on the charge - after a pick-up and break from the impressive Alex Corbisiero - as the Lions threatened again.
Australia cynically went off their feet to concede a penalty rather than seven points, but this time Halfpenny's radar failed him for only the second time in 27 shots at goal on tour.
When McCabe became the third Wallaby to be taken off on a stretcher within six minutes of the resumption, the hosts were forced to switch flanker Michael Hooper to centre, with Liam Gill taking over at open-side.
Their problems deepened when Cuthbert, coming in off his right wing, hit a perfect angle onto Sexton's pass and powered his way over, Halfpenny's conversion taking the Lions 20-12 clear.
O'Connor's penalty reduced the deficit, but the Lions might have added to their tally after a thrilling break-out, only for referee Pollock to adjudge O'Driscoll's delicate offload marginally forward.
Instead Beale landed a long-range penalty to cut the Lions' lead to two, Halfpenny responded in kind, before Beale again made it a two-point game with 12 minutes left after his own thrilling counter-attack had forced the Lions to infringe in their own 22.
The Lions wasted a golden opportunity when they lost a scrum on their own put-in five metres from the Australia line. But Beale, returning to action after receiving counselling for alcohol-related issues, could not make them pay.

One hundred days into the job, there is one thing Andy Burnham is sure of - a metro mayor can have more impact on the North than an MP.

"I am totally convinced it is the right move. I was frustrated with Westminster and its London-centric, dysfunctional thinking," he says.
"If they can ignore us, they do."
But is it not better to change a system from within, rather than give up on Parliament?
"I tried. I really did, but I decided it wasn't where I can make a difference," he replies.
"Here I can. One hundred days in, I feel that even stronger."
There is no doubt he believes in the potential of devolution and the metropolitan mayoral system.
His inaugural address promised the "dawn of a new era, giving power and purpose to the voice of the North".
Since then, Brexit Secretary David Davis has failed to keep a promise to meet the metro mayors, while Transport Secretary Chris Grayling called him a "mischief maker" after he pitched into the row about the approval of London's Crossrail 2 after electrification in the North was cancelled.
He says that is frustrating but "I will continue to be a voice for the North".
He has also had to deal with claims of a rift with Labour - not least because he appeared to refuse to meet leader Jeremy Corbyn on the day he became mayor.
He says that has been wrongly portrayed and there is no pulling away from Labour.
"I told Jeremy it wasn't possible to meet him that day," he says.
"It's frustrating, because we worked together on the general election.
"It was me who told him to engage young people and it worked - for him and for me."
Since becoming mayor though, he says he and his team have tried to "do things our way".
Later in August, he will meet business leaders in Leeds to strategise about how to make HS3 a reality.
He has also kickstarted a homelessness fund by donating 15% of his salary, with the aim of eradicating homelessness in Manchester by 2020.
However, he recognises that is a massive challenge.
"Over the past 100 days, homelessness has got worse, not better - but I refuse to revise the date.
"By 2020, every person in Manchester should have a roof over their heads."
He says to succeed, there is a need to use "bottom-up politics, where we raise money voluntarily [and] involve the volunteers".
He admits that does not sit comfortably with his Labour principles, but adds: "Is it right to leave people out on the cold streets? There is more we can and should do."
Professor Jon Tonge, an expert in the region's politics, says "in terms of agenda setting, it's nine or even 10 out of 10" for Mr Burnham.
"He had given up a lot coming from Westminster, [but] even his biggest critics will acknowledge he has made a big commitment in becoming mayor," he says.
For Bolton West's Conservative MP Chris Green though, the mayor's preoccupation with the North-South divide is an issue.
"If the only comments someone has that cut through are negative, then that does the area down," he says.
"It damages people's desire to invest in the North West and Greater Manchester.
"We need the mayor to be promoting first and foremost."
The mayor's first 100 days have not all been about proaction, as he also had to react to the Manchester Arena attack.
He had been mayor for just two weeks and was playing five-a-side on 22 May when Salman Abedi detonated a bomb outside an Ariana Grande gig at the venue.
Shortly after, Greater Manchester's chief constable called and confirmed it was a suicide attack.
"I will never ever forget that conversation - I stayed up all night, shocked to the core, and thought, 'where do we go from here?'" he says.
In the aftermath, he was the first public figure to address Greater Manchester's population.
It was a presidential moment which he pitched well, as he paid tribute to the city's spirit of unity and flatly refused to point the finger at Muslims.
He says he has been "taken aback by the incredible warmth and strength of our people".
"We have a unique spirit."
For Prof Tonge, the mayor's response "set the tone" of what came next.
"Many people copied his words and there wasn't the backlash that some people feared.
"Frankly, the city displayed great tolerance and Andy can take some of the credit for that."
Those are pleasing words, but in many ways, the first 100 days are the easiest.
The mayor has done well, but as Prof Tonge puts it, "we will have to wait a few years before he can be measured on his success".

A biopic of Falklands War veteran Simon Weston is to be made by a London-based company whose recent output includes a drama about Winston Churchill.

Jonathan Teplitzky, director of that film and 2013's The Railway Man, is attached to direct the $13m (Â£10m) project, according to Screen Daily.
Weston, a former Welsh Guard, suffered horrific burn injuries when the Sir Galahad ship came under fire in 1982.
The 55-year-old was made a CBE for his charity work last year.
Salon Pictures, the company behind the project, previously produced a 2015 documentary about footballer Paul Gascoigne.
Churchill, to be released next year, stars Brian Cox as the famous leader and Miranda Richardson as his wife Clemmie.
Shooting on the as-yet-untitled film is reportedly due to begin in Wales in spring 2017.
A spokesman for Weston confirmed to the BBC that a film about his life was in the works.

An ancient scheduled monument is going up for auction in East Yorkshire.

Moot Hill, in Driffield, is being marketed more for the surrounding grazing land than the remains of the motte and bailey castle it may contain.
Archaeologists believe a castle, which is now just a large mound, was built in about 1071.
Excavations in the 19th Century by local archaeologist JR Mortimer revealed Saxon relics, including bits of swords, spears and a bronze axe.
Owner James Hood, a retired farmer who bought the land in 1973, disputes archaeologists' theories and claims an excavation in the mid-70s revealed nothing.
Mr Hood said: "It was supposed to be a burial mound, then they decided it was a motte and bailey castle.
"You wouldn't build a castle without foundations whatsoever."
The auctioneers describe the two acre site as a "a large parcel" of land suitable for grazing horses and other livestock.
It has a guide price of Â£30,000.
The site is protected by an English Heritage listing which states that the site is of national importance.
If it was a castle then on the mound, or motte, there would once have been a wooden defensive wall and a tower.
The large enclosure was known as a bailey.
Documents from the early 13th Century refer to an abandoned bailey at Driffield.
Mr Mortimer was a local anthologist who excavated many burial mounds and other features.
He died in 1911 but left more than 66,000 artefacts and his collection is now at the Hull and East Riding Museum in Hull.


Labour is to call for the United Nations to set up safe havens in Syria that could be maintained by no-fly zones and peacekeeping troops.

Party sources, though, insist that no British troops would be involved.
Sources near shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn say they are not ruling out backing an extension of UK air strikes against Islamic State to Syria.
Leader Jeremy Corbyn is opposed to such action, but some Labour MPs have told the BBC they would defy him in a vote.
The government is expected to draw up proposals within the next few weeks for missile attacks in Syria.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said parliament needs to "rethink the absurdity" of RAF jets being able to bomb IS targets in Iraq but not Syria.
In July, acting Labour leader Harriet said Islamic State had to be "stopped" and Labour would look "very seriously" at any proposals brought forward by the government.
She said the situation was different from that in 2013, when Labour voted against air strikes against the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad, because IS was a terrorist organisation.
New leader and veteran anti-war campaigner Mr Corbyn has made clear his opposition to the move - but the BBC understands the party has not changed its position since his election.
Sources close to Mr Benn say they will examine any proposals from the government that have a clear legal basis and objectives.
More than 200,000 Syrians have been killed since civil war broke out in 2011. The conflict between rebel forces and the Assad government has been compounded by the rise of terror group Islamic State, which took control of swathes of the country in 2014.
Millions of people have been displaced - some are living as refugees in the region, while many others are attempting to reach Europe.
Prime Minister David Cameron is meeting world leaders at the UN in New York to discuss the Syrian crisis.
The BBC understands that on Monday, Mr Benn and Mr Corbyn will urge him to push for a UN Chapter 7 Resolution.
That could see Western troops on the ground in Syria but only in a peacekeeping capacity.
The plan is similar to an idea put forward by the Conservative former International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell, and backed by Boris Johnson last week.
Mr Mitchell told the BBC that creating "humanitarian safe enclaves" was the best way to protect the Syrian people and stop the refugee crisis that stemmed from the conflict there.
He said "ideally" Britain would not be required to put troops on the ground, and instead personnel from the UN, EU, Arab League and others should be involved.
Mr Cameron is expected to call for a renewed diplomatic drive to end Syria's civil war during his UN meetings.
UK officials have signalled that he will drop his opposition to Mr Assad playing a role in any transitional government, but the prime minister has insisted Syria's president "can't be part of Syria's future".
Meanwhile, France has carried out its first air strikes against IS militants in Syria.


Wigan have beaten West Ham to the signing of Real Mallorca defender Ivan Ramis for an undisclosed fee.

The Hammers agreed a fee with the Spanish club for the 27-year-old at the weekend but he has instead joined their Premier League rivals Wigan on a three-year deal.
Ramis was wanted by Celtic in 2010 but a deal was never completed.
He becomes the Latics' second summer signing after the arrival of Aberdeen midfielder Fraser Fyvie.


Martin McGuinness has said he will resign as Northern Ireland's deputy first minister in protest against the handling of a botched heating scheme.

The Sinn FÃ©in MLA's resignation will take effect from 17:00 GMT.
He cited the Democratic Unionist Party's (DUP) conduct over the scandal surrounding the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme as the reason.
He said First Minister Arlene Foster has a "clear conflict of interest" in the scandal.

Terminally-ill Charlie Gard will be moved to a hospice and have his life support withdrawn soon after, a High Court judge has said.

Charlie's parents wanted a private medical team to care for their son in a hospice so they could have more time with him.
But Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) said it was not in his best interests.
Mr Justice Francis approved a plan which will see Charlie "inevitably" die shortly after being moved.
The judge added that no details about when he would be moved and where could be made public.
The story of Charlie Gard
Parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, and GOSH had until 12:00 BST to agree Charlie's end-of-life care. However, an agreement was not reached by the noon deadline.
The parents' lawyer, Grant Armstrong said they wanted to spend days with Charlie at a hospice before his death.
But hospital bosses said they could not agree to the arrangement as his parents had not found a hospice or a paediatric intensive care specialist.
The High Court order says Charlie will continue to be treated in hospital for a "period" of time before being moved to the hospice, which cannot be named for legal reasons.
It says doctors can then withdraw "artificial ventilation" after a period of time.
Everyone involved has agreed that the "arrangements" will "inevitably result in Charlie's death within a short period thereafter", the order adds.
GOSH said it deeply regretted "that profound and heartfelt differences between" Charlie's doctors and parents "have had to be played out in court over such a protracted period".


Everton midfielder James McCarthy is out of the Republic of Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Austria on Saturday because of a hamstring injury.

McCarthy has missed most of his club's season because of injury but played in the Republic's qualifier wins over Georgia and Moldova last month.
That angered Everton boss Ronald Koeman, who criticised Republic manager Martin O'Neill over the issue.
Stephen Ward, Stephen Quinn and Cyrus Christie will also miss the qualifier.
McCarthy, 25, played against Georgia and Moldova after recovering from groin surgery but then suffered a hamstring injury.
Dundalk pair Daryl Horgan and Andy Boyle have retained their place in the squad after it was whittled down from 35 to 28 for the journey to Vienna.
Defender Christie faces at least three months on the sidelines after breaking a bone in his foot in Derby's win over Wolves on Saturday, while Burnley full-back Ward and Reading midfielder Quinn have also been ruled out of the contest by injury.
Sunderland defender John O'Shea is another injury concern for O'Neill because of a hamstring injury but remains in the squad.
The Republic's main striker Shane Long has already been ruled out of the Austria game through injury, while Daryl Murphy, who headed the late equaliser against group leaders Serbia in September, will also miss Saturday's game (17:00 GMT).
The Irish are level on points with Serbia after their opening draw in Belgrade was followed by the wins over Georgia and Moldova.


Plaid Cymru's Elin Jones has been chosen by Welsh Assembly members as their new presiding officer.

The Ceredigion AM beat party colleague Lord Elis-Thomas by 34 votes to 25, with Labour's Ann Jones elected to be her deputy.
The vote came after former presiding officer Dame Rosemary Butler stood down from the assembly at the election.
However, there was deadlock in the vote for first minister, with a tie between Carwyn Jones and Plaid's Leanne Wood.
Mr Jones was expected to be re-appointed, with Labour likely to form a minority government after the party lost a seat at the assembly election.
A Labour source said: "It was felt we came back with 29 seats, not 31.
"It would feel wrong to us, and a little presumptuous, to be both going for presiding officer and first minister."
Ms Jones said it was "an honour and a privilege" to be elected presiding officer, telling AMs as she took the chair: "You all look very different from up here!"
Ann Jones won the election for deputy presiding officer, beating Labour colleague John Griffiths by 30 votes to 29.
That position was formerly held by Conservative AM David Melding, who has ruled himself out for the presiding officer job.
The presiding officer acts as the figurehead of the National Assembly for Wales, chairing meetings in the Senedd chamber that are known as plenary.
The post is the second-highest paid job in the assembly, behind the first minister.
He or she receives a yearly salary of £105,000 - more than ministers, who earn £100,000, and more than opposition party leaders who can be paid up to £100,000.
The deputy presiding officer receives £85,000 a year.
The first minister is paid £140,000.
Dame Rosemary, former Labour AM for Newport West, said it had been an "absolute privilege to do the job".
"The point is you're there as a figurehead to make sure the assembly runs for the benefit of the members and people of Wales.
"There's a lot of passion in the chamber and you have to make sure people don't go overboard or don't insult somebody else.
"The main thing is to make sure that backbenchers do have the opportunity to speak - both the opposition parties and the government party - because that is their place to represent the people of Wales."
She said her successor should "enjoy it".


EU ministers have failed to agree on a plan to distribute asylum seekers more equally across all 28 EU states.

"There was no common view," Latvian Interior Minister Rihards Kozlovskis said, referring to a plan to transfer 60,000 migrants on a quota system.
Efforts to reach agreement over the Mediterranean migrant crisis will continue at an EU summit next week.
Separately on Tuesday, Italian police removed dozens of migrants camping at the French border.
Police in riot gear forcibly shoved some of them onto buses and took them away from Ventimiglia, not far from resorts in the French Riviera.
The migrants, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, had been prevented from entering France.
The European Commissioner for Migration, Dimitris Avramopoulos, insisted that only a compulsory mechanism - not voluntary - would work to redistribute 40,000 migrants among the EU states.
The other 20,000 - many of them Syrian refugees - would be moved to Europe from UN refugee camps under a voluntary scheme, once their claims to asylum were proven to be genuine.
The Commission says the emergency resettlement scheme is for people "in clear need of international protection" - not economic migrants. Syrians and Eritreans are in that emergency category, it says.
"Solidarity does not come in pieces," Mr Avramopoulos said after the interior ministers' talks in Luxembourg. "We made progress today, but we are not there yet.
"It's time we looked beyond national interests and avoided the lowest common denominator, the bargaining and finger-pointing."
He said the EU "tried a voluntary approach in the past and it didn't work" - referring to an attempt to ease Malta's migrant burden.
Earlier Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi warned that without agreement Italy would adopt a "Plan B" that would "hurt" Europe.
While some EU states including Germany and Austria back the quota idea, others argue that migrants should not be forced to move to countries where they do not want to settle. The UK, Denmark and Ireland have exemptions from the quota plan.
More than 1,800 migrants have died in the Mediterranean so far this year - a 20-fold increase on the same period in 2014. The majority had set sail aboard rickety, overcrowded boats from strife-torn Libya.
In recent weeks naval vessels, including the UK's HMS Bulwark, have rescued thousands of people at risk of drowning.
For the past few days, Italy has been involved in a row with France over the presence of more than 200 African migrants in Ventimiglia.
France has accused Italy of failing to respect EU asylum rules, but the Rome government has argued the migrants see Italy only as a transit country.
The Dublin Regulation says the EU country where migrants first arrive should deal with their asylum claims.
Going into the Luxembourg talks, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said "we have to build solidarity for our Italian friends, and they have to build responsibility". Responsibility, he explained, must include "organising the return of irregular migrants".
Another priority for the EU is to send home many more migrants who have managed to stay in the EU illegally. Mr Avramopoulos complained that in 2013 the migrant return rate was just 33%.
Italy's Angelino Alfano: We are working to avoid Europe's political bankruptcy... The scene in Ventimiglia is a punch in Europe's face.  It's the proof that migrants don't come to Italy to stay in Italy, but to go to Europe.
UK's Theresa May: We need to go after the criminal gangs who are plying this terrible, callous trade in human lives. We also need to break the link between people getting into the boats and reaching Europe. That means returning people to North Africa or elsewhere, to their home countries so they see there is no merit in this journey.
Ireland's Frances Fitzgerald: We want to act in solidarity with other countries to deal with this humanitarian crisis. So we'll be considering the range of alternatives today very seriously.
Katya Adler: EU solidarity damaged by splits on migrants and Greece
Italy and Greece - which have already seen more than 100,000 boat people arrive on their shores this year - insist other EU nations must share some of the burden.
Mr Renzi is reported to have warned that, without a fair deal, Italy would start issuing temporary visas to enable migrants to travel beyond Italy under Schengen rules.
Although details of Italy's Plan B have not been given, reports suggest that Italy would refuse to allow migrants rescued by foreign navies to disembark on its shores.
The Schengen system removed compulsory passport controls at most of the EU's internal borders, to encourage free movement.
German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said that "we're not looking to change Schengen, we're not for systematic border controls".
Migrants: What can Europe achieve?
Who are the Med's migrants?
The European Commission has proposed a "distribution key" for relocating migrants across the EU, taking account of factors such as population, gross domestic product and unemployment.
But the crisis has opened up fissures in the EU, the BBC's Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas reports. Eastern nations like the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary say they are adamantly opposed to quotas requiring them to take in thousands.
The UK says it is opting out of the plan, as it can under EU rules. Ireland also has an opt-out, but has pledged to "do its fair share" and take part in the EU's migrant distribution scheme.


Experienced Edinburgh flanker Roddy Grant has been forced to retire after failing to recover from a knee injury suffered at the end of last season.

The 28-year-old played 138 times for the club and represented Scotland Sevens between 2006 and 2014, including last year's Commonwealth Games.
"A difficult time has been made easier as it's not been a decision," said Grant.
"You just have to get on with it, accept things and move on."
Grant joined Edinburgh in 2009 after beginning his Scottish rugby career as an apprentice with Border Reivers.
A recipient of the John Macphail Scholarship in 2008, he broadened his experience playing with Auckland University in New Zealand, having played through Scotland's age grades, and went on to be part of the Scotland A team that secured a 35-0 victory over England Saxons in 2012.
"It's been a pretty emotional time, having to come to terms with the fact I have to stop playing due to injury but I have no regrets," added Grant.
"I'm really proud of what I've done, what I've achieved and what I've contributed."
Head coach Alan Solomons said: "Roddy's retirement is a sad day for both the club and Scottish rugby.
"I've been fortunate, over the years, to coach some terrific young men; Roddy is right up there with the best of the best. His contribution to the club has been immense, both on and off the field. He is a leader of men and the ultimate pro.
"He has the heart of a lion, an unbelievable work-rate and he knew our systems and his role within them to perfection. Roddy never had a bad game. He is certainly one of the most consistent players I have ever coached.
"We will miss him - he is one of a kind."


Alain and Dafroza Gauthier have spent the last 13 years hunting down people living in France suspected of participating in the Rwanda's 1994 genocide.

Mrs Gauthier's mother and dozens of other relatives were among some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus who were killed in 100 days.
Living and working in the French city of Reims, the couple have dedicated all their spare time to putting together evidence.
They were inspired by the cases brought in Belgium against Rwandan fugitives and in 2001 set up an association - the Collective of Civil Plaintiffs for Rwanda.
My wife is Rwandan and many of her relatives were killed during the genocide. It's true that fact was a determining factor in our mission.
We are simply citizens with a conscience, as the presence of Rwandan genocide suspects in France is intolerable for the families of victims.
So without any [legal] knowledge we started this work and research.
Once we discovered a suspect in France, we were obliged to go to Rwanda to find witnesses - in order to make a case.
Those witnesses were either survivors or the killers themselves - those freed having served their terms and those who were still in prison gave us the best information.
Money has been a problem. In the beginning, we paid for our own travel, then the Collective of Civil Plaintiffs for Rwanda, which has about 150 members, helped us go. We have received some donations - but right now there is no real financial support.
To find suspects, we have followed up leads from those who have told us that they suspected people in their area or university may have taken part in the genocide - this information arrived from different sources. Then it was up to us to verify it and if we had the means we'd go to Rwanda to investigate.
It was a lot of work. For each case we have to go four or five times, staying often for two to four weeks.
I'd go to Rwanda in all my holidays - I was a teacher until I recently retired.
It required a lot of translation work, which my wife mostly did, and then we would give the information to our lawyers who would take several months to prepare documents to be accepted by the justice system.
Amongst the suspects we have discovered are three doctors, a priest, a former governor - most of them are respected members of society.
It's very difficult to know the true number of genocide suspects currently living in France - but so far we have filed complaints against about 25.
Without the work of our organisation, the Collective of Civil Plaintiffs for Rwanda, and others who have helped us there would be no investigation of genocide suspects in France.
There has been no help from the government. Then there's the work of the  French justice system, which for a long time has dragged its feet and didn't have the means to pursue and investigate these people. That changed two years ago... but from the government there has been no help.
Trying genocide suspects is an occasion to remember the French government's role in Rwanda in 1994.
We think that there was on the part of that government, a diplomatic, financial and military complicity... so bringing that all up on French soil makes those formerly responsible uncomfortable - and some of them are still quite powerful.
So it doesn't bring pleasure to anyone, and it's clear that until now we've received no support at all from the French political world.
Pascal Simbikangwa is the first trial, which has come far too late. We just hope that it acts as a kind of incentive in French justice and that many others will soon be brought to trial.
What we do, we do because we believe it is only justice that can give the victims who are no more the dignity that was taken away from them.
We aim to do this "without hate or vengeance", to take the expression of the Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal.
What motivates us is essentially giving victims back their dignity.


The legacy of Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel is being explored by one of his descendants.

Great-great-great grandson, Isambard Thomas will be mainly walking from Bristol to London, to discover how Brunel's Great Western Railway (GWR), shaped towns and cities.
Mr Thomas said: "Engineering is the thing that fascinates me and its relevance today."
The trip is part of history project by railway firm First Great Western (FGW).
Mr Thomas said: "I've never had the opportunity to visit every station to stop and to look at pieces of the line and the environment.
"It's also to find out about how the Great Western Railway changed local business and how towns grew into cities and the development of Bristol, Bath, Swindon and Reading."
Brunel was born in Portsmouth and his most well-known work includes Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol and the near two-mile long Box Tunnel in Box, Wiltshire.
Brunel also designed the SS Great Britain, which served between Bristol and New York. It has now been restored as a museum ship.
Mr Thomas will make a map of his route, covering various aspects of Brunel's life, starting with visiting the solicitor's firm which Brunel used in the 1830s when he was generating interest for the GWR.
Operations director at FGW, Ben Rule, said: "Great Western Railway started building nearly 200 years ago and we see our role as custodians of that railway as really, really important."


Northern Ireland has had the largest proportional increase in new cases of HIV in the UK since 2000.

In its annual report the Public Health Agency (PHA) said more than 700 people in Northern Ireland received care for the infection last year.
The PHA's Dr Gillian Armstrong said they would like to see more people come forward for testing.
"There will be people in Northern Ireland who are living with HIV who do not know," she said.
"We'd really like to stress the importance of coming to get tested if you think you've put yourself at risk.
"Early testing and getting a diagnosis helps you get treatment that you need and the treatments are very good these days and also help you to protect your loved ones and your sexual partners."
The annual number of new diagnoses of HIV made in Northern Ireland was 95 in 2012 and 94 in 2013.
However, compared with the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland had the largest proportional increase in new HIV diagnoses between 2000 and 2013.
Of the new diagnoses of HIV in Northern Ireland in 2013, 57% occurred in men who have sex with men.
Seven hundred and forty-nine HIV-infected residents of Northern Ireland received care for the virus during 2013.
HIV/AIDS can be transmitted through sexual contact, sharing  needles and syringes, and transmission from mother to child before, during, or shortly after birth.


A battle is under way to save the apartment in New York's Hotel Chelsea where Dylan Thomas slipped into a coma just four days before he died.

Poet Thomas was staying in Apartment 205 in the renowned hotel before his death aged 39 on 9 November, 1953.
Now developers are about to refurbish the building which will affect the layout of the apartment.
Geoff Haden, who restored the poet's Swansea birthplace, is now appealing for help to stop the work going ahead.
Mr Haden is asking for people to show "financial and emotional support" to the apartment's current tenant Artie Nash.
He said Mr Nash has been battling against developers refurbishing the building for nearly a decade, but work is now due to start on the entrance to the apartment.
Mr Haden said: "Time is of the essence as the developers of Hotel Chelsea have told Artie that they are blocking up the doorway and tearing up parts of the apartment to make way for a maintenance stairwell.
"Not only is Artie desperately trying to preserve his own home, but also a small piece of literary heritage which is why we are taking on the campaign on both sides of the Atlantic."


The snow, a shooting in west Belfast and sinister threats against DUP leader Arlene Foster are among the headlines in Friday's newspapers.

The Irish News front page has a photograph of the scene following the gun attack at a house in Norglen Parade in the Turf Lodge area on Thursday evening.
The Belfast Telegraph says the couple are in a stable condition in hospital after two men forced their way into the property and shot them in the legs.
Its main story is a report that the PSNI have launched an investigation after Arlene Foster said she had received several threats against her life on social media.
Mrs Foster said the threats included one that "wanted to see me beheaded".
In The Irish News, Sinn Fein dismisses as "too little, too late" Communities Minister Paul Givan's revelation that an Irish language bursary scheme could have its funding restored.
Mr Givan said he made the U-turn on the Líofa Gaeltacht Bursary Scheme to prevent Sinn Féin from using it as a "political weapon".
The newspaper also reports on the protest outside the headquarters of the Department for Communities demanding an Irish Language Act for Northern Ireland.
The News Letter has its own take on the subject, with a Fermanagh Church of Ireland cleric, Rev Alan Irwin, claiming Irish speakers he knows in the Republic of Ireland cannot understand Sinn Féin members when they use the language.  However, Linda Ervine believes "gaelic is a language of the British Isles that unites us".
Its front page focuses on a fraudster from Toome in County Antrim who has been jailed for a year for selling fake fire safety glass that was later installed at schools, universities and hospitals.
Seamus James Laverty, 58, sold ordinary glass as fire safety glass between 2010 and 2013 when he worked on the factory floor of Glassworks Ireland.
A judge said it was "by the grace of God" that the fake glass had not been put to the test.
The Daily Mirror's front page reports on a five-year-old boy being taken to hospital after he was knocked down by a car in the County Down village of Magheralin on Thursday.
The boy is said to be in a "critical but stable" condition. Meanwhile, a nine-year-old-boy is said to be in intensive care in hospital after he was hit by a car near Ballymoney, County Antrim, on Tuesday.
There are plenty of pictures of snow in the newspapers and on a warmer note, the Mirror also carries the story of the diner who surprised staff at an Indian restaurant in Portadown by leaving a £1,000 tip on a £79 bill.


Glamorgan have announced new deals for fast bowler Michael Hogan and spinner Kieran Bull until the end of the 2018 season.

Hogan, 34, who was already under contract for 2016, has agreed a two-year extension with the club.
The Australian has been Glamorgan's leading wicket-taker for the last three seasons since joining in 2012.
Bull, 20, has been handed his first senior professional contract.
Hogan, who is currently preparing for the four-day campaign with Western Australia, did not play first-class cricket until the age of 28.
He has spoken of playing until the age of 40 if his form is good enough.
"I'm really pleased to commit my future to Glamorgan, my family and I are enjoying living in Wales and I have been able to put some performances on the board over the last three years," Hogan said.
"We are determined to build on some encouraging performances in all forms of the game in recent years and hopefully we can kick on again in 2016 and bring some success to the club."
Haverfordwest-born Bull played two Championship and two One-Day Cup matches in August 2015.
But had his season curtailed by a stress fracture of the back but is looking forward to the new season.
"There's a good balance in the team, with a mix of experience and some younger players, with the senior players always on hand to provide tips and support," Bull said.
Batsmen Chris Cooke and Aneurin Donald also signed until the end of the 2018 season in recent contract extensions.
In addition to the contract renewals, Glamorgan chief executive Hugh Morris has highlighted the need to recruit seam bowlers and a top order batsman for the 2016 season.


The founder of a now defunct football club says the stadium could only return to use if a major benefactor is found.

East Northamptonshire District Council said a developer was due to submit an application to redevelop Rushden and Diamonds' Nene Park ground "in weeks".
But Max Griggs, who led the club to the Football League, said "a lot of money would need to be thrown at it" for a club to start at the site again.
The owner of the land has declined to comment on what is being proposed.
Rushden and Diamonds started in 1992 by the amalgamation of Rushden Town and Irthlingborough Diamonds.
After building a state-of-the-art stadium in Irthlingborough, the club was half way up the third tier of football when Mr Griggs pulled out in 2005 for financial reasons.
The club was sold to a supporters' trust but it eventually folded in 2011. Shortly afterwards, Kettering Town played at the ground for 18 months but could not afford its long-term upkeep.
New club AFC Rushden and Diamonds now play in the United Counties Premier League at a ground in Wellingborough about five miles away.
Mr Griggs, who is retired, said he would not envy anyone who took on the 6,500-capacity stadium.
"I don't think anybody could run the stadium and resurrect the football club again unless they're prepared to throw a lot of money at it like I did," he said.
"It costs a lot of money to run a football club and whatever money you put into football, in my experience, you don't really get back. You're really paying for your fun at the end of the day."
Site owner Keith Cousins said he hoped football would return, but he had a number of options to consider and declined to comment further.
East Northamptonshire District Council said the site must contain a leisure facility as part of its remit, but has not specified further what that could be.


David Cameron has apologised for "any misunderstanding" after describing a former imam as a supporter of the Islamic State group.

He accused Suliman Gani in Parliament of backing the militant group as he questioned Sadiq Khan's judgement in sharing a platform with him.
Mr Gani has said claims he backs IS are defamatory and must be retracted.
Earlier on Wednesday, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon apologised for making similar claims.
At Prime Minister's Questions in April, Mr Cameron said Mr Khan had appeared on a platform nine times with Mr Gani, whom the prime minister alleged "supports IS".
Mr Gani said at the time that he wanted to take legal action against Mr Cameron but was unable to do so because of Parliamentary privilege rules, which protect MPs' freedom of speech in the Commons.
In a statement, Downing Street said Mr Cameron was referring to reports that Mr Gani supports "an" Islamic state.
A Number 10 spokesman said: "The prime minister is clear this does not mean Mr Gani supports the organisation Daesh and he apologises to him for any misunderstanding."
Several senior Conservatives attacked Mr Gani at the height of the London mayoral race and accused Mr Khan - who was elected London Mayor last week - of associating with extremists, an approach which Labour said was illustrative of a "divisive, dog-whistle campaign".
Mr Fallon apologised for an "inadvertent error" in labelling Mr Gani an IS sympathiser. He made the claim about the Tooting preacher during a BBC interview, as he defended the Conservatives' London mayoral election campaign.
In a message on social media last month, Mr Gani said he had "condemned IS wholeheartedly" since its inception and that it in no way represented his beliefs. He wrote: "Saying I support Islamic State is untrue and highly damaging to my reputation.
"I am totally opposed to so-called Islamic State which I view as a terrorist and inhumane organisation. Indeed as an imam and community leader, I have campaigned against the evils of Islamic State to my fellow Muslims and to others in the community."
Dr Shuja Shafi of the Muslim Council of Britain welcomed the "long overdue apology", but said "such smear-by-association has become all too common for Muslims and Muslim organisations".
"For the real extremists we are all opposed to, such tactics will only provide fresh new examples of a society not willing to accept Muslims for who they are," he said.
He called for the prime minister and the defence secretary to repeat their apologies in Parliament, and for an "urgent review" of Islamophobia in the Conservative party.


Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio has been suspended for six games and fined 5,000 Swiss francs (£4,024) for using "insulting words" towards match officials, says Fifa.

Osorio reacted during his country's Confederations Cup third-place play-off defeat by Portugal in Russia on 2 July.
Football's world governing body said the Colombian displayed an "aggressive attitude" towards match officials.
"The decision comes into force immediately," added a Fifa statement.
Mexico lost the game 2-1 in extra time in Moscow, with Adrien Silva scoring the winning goal from the penalty spot.
Osorio's ban will impact on Mexico's Concacaf Gold Cup campaign, which starts against El Salvador in San Diego, USA, on 10 July.
Mexico's other group opponents in the tournament are Jamaica in Denver on 13 July and Curacao in San Antonio on 16 July.


A landlocked, mountainous country, Switzerland's geographical position in central Europe and studied neutrality have given it the access and political stability to become one of the world's wealthiest countries.

Switzerland has for centuries been a neutral state, which means that it cannot take part in armed conflict unless it is attacked. Its forces can only be used for self-defence and internal security.
It joined the United Nations only in 2002. Surrounded by the European Union, it has vacillated between seeking closer engagement with its powerful neighbour and other international organisations, and preferring a more isolationist course.
The people are given a direct say in their own affairs under Switzerland's system of direct democracy, which has no parallel in any other country.
They are invited to the polls several times a year to vote in national or regional referendums and people's initiatives.
Population 7.7 million
Area 41,284 sq km (15,940 sq miles)
Major languages German, French, Italian, Romansch
Major religion Christianity
Life expectancy 80 years (men), 85 years (women)
Currency Swiss Franc
Federal President (rotating): Doris Leuthard
Switzerland is unusual in having a collective head of state, the seven-member Federal Council, which doubles up as the country's cabinet.
The council was set up by the constitution of 1848, which is still in force today.
Members are elected for four-year terms by a joint session of both houses of parliament, although in practice changes in membership are rare, making the Federal Council one of the world's most stable governments.
The election of a new female minister to the Federal Council in September 2010 gave the cabinet a majority of women for the first time in the country's history.
Each year, by tradition, a different member of the council fills the largely ceremonial post of federal president on a rotating basis. The office does not confer the status of head of state, which is held jointly by all the councillors.
Doris Leuthard - the president for 2017 - has been energy and transport minister since 2010, during which year she held the post of president. Trained as a lawyer, she is a member of the Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland (PDC/CVP).
Broadcasting is dominated by the public Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG/SSR). Most of its funding comes from licence fee revenues; a smaller proportion comes from TV advertising.
About 87% of the population was online by the end of 2015.
Some key dates in the history of Switzerland:
1291 - Origin of the Swiss confederation when three cantons form an alliance to resist outside control.
1815 - In the wake of the Napoleonic wars, the borders of Switzerland - and the territory's neutrality - are established at the Congress of Vienna.
1939-45 - Switzerland declares neutrality at start of Second World War.
1971 - Women granted right to vote in federal elections.
1998 - Swiss banks agree $1.25bn compensation deal with Holocaust survivors and families.
2002 - Switzerland becomes a member of the UN.
2009 - Switzerland says it will relax its rules on banking secrecy to allow financial institutions to co-operate with international investigations into tax evasion.


All MPs are to be automatically offered additional security in their constituency offices and homes.

The move comes amid increased security concerns, particularly following the death of the Labour MP Jo Cox.
Until now, MPs who wanted to install security had to apply through the parliamentary expenses watchdog Ipsa.
But the BBC's Norman Smith said MPs had decided to strip the watchdog of its authority over security decisions amid concerns over delays to MPs' requests.
Following a decision by the Estimates Committee of MPs on Tuesday, all MPs will automatically be offered extra security - such as panic buttons, extra lighting, additional locks and emergency fobs - and will not have to apply to have them installed.
Previously, MPs wanting enhanced security arrangements had to have to a risk assessment carried out by the police and written estimates before any work could be carried out.
Jo Cox died last month after being attacked in her West Yorkshire constituency, the first MP to be killed for more than 25 years.
The safety of MPs outside the Houses of Parliament is the responsibility of local police forces but Ipsa has responsibility for approving funding for security procedures and dealing with requests from individual MPs.
The watchdog's chairman wrote to MPs in the aftermath of Ms Cox's death to say the way in which it handled applications would be "reviewed and accelerated" in response to concerns about its role.
In January, the security measures available to MPs at their constituency offices and homes were "standardised" - to try to speed up the process and ensure all 650 members of the Commons receive a consistent service.
They were divided into two packages: routine and enhanced claims.
The former is based on MPs filling in self-assessment forms although MPs must obtain two separate quotes from locksmiths. Those seeking additional protection in response to a specific threat must consult local police commanders who are expected to make recommendations based on a security and intelligence review.
In 2014-15, Â£77,000 was spent on additional security measures designed to enable MPs to fulfil their duties following police recommendations.
The Estimates Committee, responsible for financial and logistical support to MPs that has not been outsourced to Ipsa, is chaired by Commons Speaker John Bercow and its members include the Leader of the House of Commons and representatives from the main parties.
A spokesperson for the House of Commons Commission, which supervises the overall running of the Houses of Parliament, said it did not publicly discuss the details of security arrangements and "in the event that arrangements to MPs security are revised further, this information will be communicated privately to them".
An Ipsa spokesperson said: "We have been working in partnership with the police and the House of Commons since last year to improve the security support available to MPs and their staff. We have recently streamlined the way we provide this support, responding to the security needs of MPs as defined by the police, while continuing to provide assurance about the public money spent."


An inquest into the death of Arlene Arkinson has been told by a sister of the teenager that she would never have gone anywhere without telling her.

The 15-year-old went missing after a night out in Donegal in 1994.
Her body has never been found. Child killer Robert Howard, who died in prison last year, was the main suspect.
Arlene's sister Anita McGale appeared for the first time at her inquest at Omagh Courthouse on Monday.
Timeline: child killer Robert Howard
Ms McGale said the Castlederg schoolgirl always told her where she was.
She also told the inquest that Arlene had never told her she was pregnant or had had a miscarriage.
The inquest heard in February that Arlene was from a troubled background and that she may have been pregnant when she went missing.
Asked by counsel for the coroner why Arlene would have told such a story to other people, Ms McGale said she did not know.
Arlene lived with her sister Anita for one and half years after her mother died.
Social services said she could not live with her father who had started drinking heavily after his wife's death.
The arrangement ended after Anita's then husband Seamus McGale was accused and subsequently jailed for sexually abusing Arlene in 1993.


Cern scientists reporting from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have claimed the discovery of a new particle consistent with the Higgs boson.

The particle has been the subject of a 45-year hunt to explain how matter attains its mass.
Both of the Higgs boson-hunting experiments at the LHC (Atlas and CMS) see a level of certainty in their data worthy of a "discovery".
More work will be needed to be certain that what they see is a Higgs, however.
The results announced at Cern (European Organization for Nuclear Research), home of the LHC in Geneva, were met with loud applause and cheering.
Prof Peter Higgs, after whom the particle is named, wiped a tear from his eye as the teams finished their presentations in the Cern auditorium.
"I would like to add my congratulations to everyone involved in this achievement," he added later.
"It's really an incredible thing that it's happened in my lifetime."
Prof Stephen Hawking joined in with an opinion on a topic often discussed in hushed tones.
"This is an important result and should earn Peter Higgs the Nobel Prize," he told BBC News.
"But it is a pity in a way because the great advances in physics have come from experiments that gave results we didn't expect."
The CMS experiment team claimed they had seen a "bump" in their data corresponding to a particle weighing in at 125.3 gigaelectronvolts (GeV) - about 133 times heavier than the protons that lie at the heart of every atom.
They claimed that by combining two data sets, they had attained a confidence level just at the "five-sigma" point - about a one-in-3.5 million chance that the signal they see would appear if there were no Higgs particle.
However, a full combination of the CMS data brings that number just back to 4.9 sigma - a one-in-two million chance.
Prof Joe Incandela, spokesman for CMS, was unequivocal: "The results are preliminary but the five-sigma signal at around 125 GeV we're seeing is dramatic. This is indeed a new particle," he told the Geneva meeting.
The Atlas experiment results were even more promising, at a slightly higher mass: "We observe in our data clear signs of a new particle, at the level of five sigma, in the mass region around 126 GeV," said Dr Fabiola Gianotti, spokeswoman for the Atlas experiment at the LHC.
Prof Rolf Heuer, director-general of Cern, commented: "As a layman I would now say I think we have it."
"We have a discovery - we have observed a new particle consistent with a Higgs boson. But which one? That remains open.
"It is a historic milestone but it is only the beginning."
Commenting on the emotions of the scientists involved in the discovery, Prof Incandela said: "It didn't really hit me emotionally until today because we have to be so focussed… but I'm super-proud."
Dr Gianotti echoed Prof Incandela's thoughts, adding: "The last few days have been extremely intense, full of work, lots of emotions."
A confirmation that this is the Higgs boson would be one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the century; the hunt for the Higgs has been compared by some physicists to the Apollo programme that reached the Moon in the 1960s.
Scientists would then have to assess whether the particle they see behaves like the version of the Higgs particle predicted by the Standard Model, the current best theory to explain how the Universe works. However, it might also be something more exotic.
All the matter we can see appears to comprise just 4% of the Universe, the rest being made up by mysterious dark matter and dark energy.
A more exotic version of the Higgs could be a bridge to understanding the 96% of the Universe that remains obscure.
Scientists will have to look at how the Higgs decays - or transforms - into other, more stable particles after being produced in collisions at the LHC.
Dr Pippa Wells, a member of the Atlas experiment, said that several of the decay paths already showed deviations from what one would expect of the Standard Model Higgs.
For example, a decay path where the Higgs transforms into two photon particles was "a bit on the high side", she explained.
These could get back into line as more statistics are added, but on the other hand, they may not.
"We're reaching into the fabric of the Universe at a level we've never done before," said Prof Incandela.
"We're on the frontier now, on the edge of a new exploration. This could be the only part of the story that's left, or we could open a whole new realm of discovery."
• The Standard Model is the simplest set of ingredients - elementary particles - needed to make up the world we see in the heavens and in the laboratory
• Quarks combine together to make, for example, the proton and neutron - which make up the nuclei of atoms today - though more exotic combinations were around in the Universe's early days
• Leptons come in charged and uncharged versions; electrons - the most familiar charged lepton - together with quarks make up all the matter we can see; the uncharged leptons are neutrinos, which rarely interact with matter
• The "force carriers" are particles whose movements are observed as familiar forces such as those behind electricity and light (electromagnetism) and radioactive decay (the weak nuclear force)
• The Higgs boson came about because although the Standard Model holds together neatly, nothing requires the particles to have mass; for a fuller theory, the Higgs - or something else - must fill in that gap

Luis Suarez's four-month ban for biting an opponent has been upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).

Media playback is not supported on this device
But the Uruguay striker, 27, can now train and play in friendly matches, with new club Barcelona confirming: "He will join the first team's training session, scheduled for Friday.
"The public presentation of Suarez as a new Barcelona player will be held on Monday at the Camp Nou."
It is not known if he will play in Monday's game with Mexico's Club Leon.
A full explanation of the Cas ruling, which still prevents him from playing "organised" matches but now allows him to take part in all "football-related activities", will be published at a later date.
He will still have to serve the remaining eight games of his record nine-match ban in competitive international games, while his competitive Barcelona debut is likely to be at Real Madrid on 26 October in El Clasico.
But Suarez will now be available for Uruguay's friendlies against Japan and South Korea in September and Saudi Arabia the following month.
Suarez's lawyers argued that world governing body Fifa's decision to suspend him from all football-related activity for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 2014 World Cup group match in Brazil in June was too strong a punishment.
Switzerland-based Cas - an independent body whose rulings are accepted by most sporting organisations - said: "The sanctions imposed on the player by Fifa have been generally confirmed."
But it said preventing Suarez from taking part in any football activity was "excessive", as not allowing him to train would have an impact on the player after the suspension had ended.
World players' union Fifpro said it was "disappointed that the court had decided not to strongly diminish the sanctions" and "remain of the view they are disproportionate in relation to his violation of the Fifa disciplinary code".
It added: "We regret Cas not deciding to reduce the length of Suarez's bans in exchange for an obligation for him to receive treatment."
In addition to being allowed to train and play in friendlies, the former Liverpool player - who moved to Barcelona last month for £75m - can also attend matches and take part in promotional activities.
His legal team said the appeal was a success, arguing Fifa had "misapplied its own rules when considering the case and the sanction it imposed was disproportionate".
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker tweeted: "Luis Suarez's appeal against a four-month ban has failed. He is though, sensibly I think, now allowed to train with the team."
"By allowing Suarez to train, Cas appears to have taken into account the club's interests and has emphasised any appropriate sanction for such incidents should be proportionate," said Hannah Clipston, a lawyer specialising in resolving disputes.
"What is proportionate for a repeat offender is different to what is proportionate for a first time offender."
Suarez apologised nearly a week after the incident, despite initially claiming to have lost his balance.
He was previously suspended for biting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal and Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
In 2011, he was also given an eight-match suspension and fined £40,000 for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.


The smallest and rarest marine dolphin in the world could be extinct within 15 years if protection is not stepped up, experts have warned.

Conservation organisation Nabu say there are fewer than 50 Maui's dolphins left on the planet now.
The organisation said fishing should be banned in the waters off New Zealand, where the species live.
Dolphins are often caught in fishing nets which can harm and even kill them.
"New Zealand has to abandon its current stance, which places the interests of the fishing industry above conservation," said Dr Barbara Maas from Nabu.
A spokesperson for the New Zealand minister for conservation said no comment would be made until after the scientific committee reported its findings and recommendations in June.
The number of dolphins has declined since the 1970s.
Scientists say the main threat is fishing using trawling nets. It's thought the nets kill five Maui's dolphins each year.


Masters champion Danny Willett believes the current depth of talent in golf means "anyone" could win this week's US PGA Championship at Baltusrol.

The last four majors have gone to first-time winners, including Willett's triumph at Augusta National in April.
Henrik Stenson's Open win a fortnight ago followed major breakthroughs by Willett, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day.
"Anyone who pitches up with their 'A' game has a good chance of winning," said Englishman Willett, 28.
World number one and defending champion Day, American Jordan Spieth and Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy had been expected by some to establish themselves as 'the big three' in the sport, after winning five of eight majors in 2014 and 2015 between them.
As a result of his maiden major at the US Open, Johnson has now been catapulted into a 'big four' - but Sheffield-born Willett believes this year's results prove there is a wide spectrum of players who can compete with the elite.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Rickie Fowler, Patrick Reed, Branden Grace and Brooks Koepka are four talented players who could very easily keep the run of maiden major winners going at the historic New Jersey venue.
"The winners that you've got this year just go to show that it's been so varied. It shows the strength and depth throughout golf at the moment," world number nine Willett added.
Meanwhile, McIlroy is targeting a win this weekend to prevent him from going two years without a major, having won his fourth title at the 2014 PGA Championship.
The 27-year-old said doing so would turn a "B-" campaign into an "A+" one.
"I'd love to sit here and say I'm going to win a major every year," he said. "I could retire at 40 and be very happy.
"There's no reason to think I can't do that for the foreseeable future. I have to play my best golf, but I definitely think it's attainable."

Sweden's Stenson said his Open victory was the "icing on the cake" of his career but he now intends to "focus on what's ahead".
He added: "If I look at my career, a major championship was pretty much the only thing I had not managed to achieve and now I have that.
"But then at the same time, you can look ahead and then try and win another one."

Phil Mickelson, the man Stenson pipped to the title on a thrilling final day at Royal Troon, said he did not want "to let the effects or disappointment linger".
The 46-year-old American, who won the last time the US PGA was staged at Baltusrol in 2005, said: "I think there's a really big window of opportunity to add to my resume, to continue to compete in big events."
World number three Spieth wants to add to his major triumphs at last year's Masters and US Open and will adopt an aggressive approach as he attempts to do so.
"My goal has changed now to trying to win a career Grand Slam, and this would be a fantastic time to grab a third leg," said the American, who turns 23 on Wednesday.
"I've been getting a bit too frustrated at times but recently I've gotten back to kind of the gunslinger, the way that I grew up playing, which is just step up and hit it.
"I have more confidence in my mid-to-long-iron play than I did last year. Short game has gone down just a bit. I'm working hard on it."


Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson is suing the police and city of Baton Rouge over mass arrests during protests against police killings.

He said police acted in a "militarised and aggressive manner" in detaining him and nearly 200 other people last month.
The protests were against the killing of Alton Sterling, a black man, in the Louisiana city.
State governor John Bel Edwards has previously said the police's response was appropriate.
Mr McKesson was held on 9 July on a charge of obstructing a highway.
In the lawsuit, he and two other fellow protesters claimed that police were unnecessarily aggressive during the arrests.
It said that "defendants used excessive force in attacking, battering, beating and assaulting plaintiffs and class members without provocation or the need for defence".
The three arrested protesters said they wanted the lawsuit to have class action status.
The shooting of Alton Sterling was one of a string of police killings of black people by white police officers in recent years that triggered mass protests and rekindled debates about race relations in the US.


Pupils and teachers at astronaut Tim Peake's old school gathered excitedly to watch televised coverage of their ex-student heading into space.

About 100 pupils saw the live launch, shown at the Tim Peake Conference Centre at Chichester High School, as others watched around the school.
Physics teacher Mike Gouldstone, who taught Mr Peake, said pupils were "jumping up and down with excitement".
"It's a great day for the school and a great day for Tim," he said.
Speaking about "Major Tim's" time at the school - between 1982 and 1988 - Mr Gouldstone said: "Tim was very engaging and very interested in getting involved with experiments."
He added: "I know the school is proud. Personally, I feel quite humble, having had the privilege of teaching such a great star as Tim.
"I put a lot down to his parents and those around him. I just shared a bit about the laws of physics with him."
Phil Trowl, who was a school friend of 43-year-old Mr Peake, said the astronaut's home town of Westbourne was "buzzing with excitement" at the prospect of him reaching the International Space Station.
Eight-year-old Rufus Knight, a pupil at Oakwood School near Chichester, met Tim Peake at the Science Museum in London.
Rufus asked him: "... Have you thought about whether Father Christmas will deliver your presents?"
Mr Peake said he thought it was unlikely his presents would be delivered by reindeer, but he said he would "look out the window for any activity".

The authorities in Saudi Arabia are investigating a young woman who posted a video of herself wearing a miniskirt and crop-top in public.

The woman, a model called "Khulood", shared the clip of her walking around a historic fort in Ushayqir.
The footage sparked a heated debate on social media, with some calling for her arrest for breaking the conservative Muslim country's strict dress code.
Other Saudis came to the woman's defence, praising her "bravery".
Women in Saudi Arabia must wear loose-fitting, full-length robes known as "abayas" in public, as well as a headscarf. They are also banned from driving and are separated from unrelated men.
In the video initially shared on Snapchat over the weekend, Khulood is seen walking along an empty street in a fort at Ushayqir Heritage Village, about 155km (96 miles) north of the capital Riyadh, in Najd province.
Najd is one of the most conservative regions in Saudi Arabia. It was where the founder of Wahhabism - the austere form of Sunni Islam that is practised by the Saudi royal family and religious establishment - was born in the late 18th Century.
The video was quickly picked up by Saudis on Twitter, where opinion was divided between those who believe Khulood should be punished and others who insisted she should be allowed to wear what she wanted.

Journalist Khaled Zidan wrote: "The return of the Haia [religious police] here is a must."
Another user argued: "We should respect the laws of the country. In France, the niqab [face-covering veil] is banned and women are fined if they wear it. In Saudi Arabia, wearing abayas and modest clothing is part of the kingdom's laws."
The writer and philosopher, Wael al-Gassim, said he was "shocked to see those angry, scary tweets".
"I thought she had bombed or killed somebody. The story turned out to be about her skirt, which they did not like. I am wondering how Vision 2030 can succeed if she is arrested," he added, referring to the reform programme unveiled last year by Saudi Arabia's newly-appointed 31-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Some defended Khulood by noting that US President Donald Trump's wife, Melania, and daughter, Ivanka, had chosen not to wear abayas or headscarves during a visit to Saudi Arabia in May.
Others wrote that had the woman been a foreigner, people would be talking about her beauty, but because she is Saudi, they are calling for her arrest.
Fatima al-Issa wrote: "If she was a foreigner, they would sing about the beauty of her waist and the enchantment of her eyes... But because she is Saudi they are calling for her arrest."
On Monday, the Okaz newspaper reported that officials in Ushayqar had called on the provincial governor and police to take action against the woman.
The religious police, the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, meanwhile wrote on Twitter that it had been made aware of the video and was in contact with the relevant authorities.


Harrison Ford won't face any penalties for mistakenly landing his single-engine plane on a US airport taxiway.

The US actor, who admitted to air traffic control he'd been a "schmuck", will retain his pilot's certificate "without restriction", his lawyer said.
The incident in February saw Ford fly low over an American Airlines plane with 110 passengers and crew on board at California's John Wayne airport.
But the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) won't be taking any action.
"The FAA conducted a full investigation into the matter... and determined that no administrative or enforcement action was warranted," his lawyer said.
"The agency acknowledged Mr Ford's long history of compliance with the Federal Aviation Regulations, and his cooperative attitude during the investigation," Stephen Hofer continued.
It's not the first time the accident-prone Raiders of the Lost Ark star has had a bumpy landing.
In 2015 he crash-landed on a golf course in Santa Monica, suffering a broken arm and minor head injuries.
According to Mr Hofer, the actor is "very happy" not to be facing censure over his latest mishap.

A child monitoring phone app funded by the South Korean government has major security flaws, a new report says.

The popular Smart Sheriff app has vulnerabilities that could leak children's personal details or allow the phone to be hacked, the study says.
The app's developer says it has since addressed some of the issues raised in the report, although this has not been independently verified.
South Korea mandated in April that all children's phones must be monitored.
Anyone under 19 who buys a smartphone must install an app that can filter and block harmful content.
The University of Toronto report is based on two separate security audits, one conducted by researchers at the Citizen Lab with the university's Munk School of Global Affairs, and the other by auditing firm Cure53.
Smart Sheriff was developed by a consortium of telecommunications companies known as the Korean Mobile Internet Business Association (Moiba). It has been downloaded by hundreds of thousands of users in South Korea.
The app allows parents to control the apps on their child's mobile phone, as well as schedule when the phone can be used. It can also alert parents when it detects trigger words such as "kill", "rape", and "suicide", according to earlier news reports.
However, the new report found that children's personal details and browsing activity were not secure on the app, parental limits could be easily disabled and Smart Sheriff's design and infrastructure were insufficiently protected.
The report said this could "allow children to bypass parental protections, allow malicious attackers to disrupt access to every user's device, and interfere with the operations of the service".
"This case shows precisely how good intentions can end up seriously wrong â€” in this case, a government-promoted parental monitoring application actually putting children at greater, rather than less, risk of harm," said Citizen Lab's director Ron Deibert.
News agency AP quoted independent researcher Collin Anderson, who worked with Citizen Lab on the report, as saying: "Smart Sheriff is the kind of baby sitter that leaves the doors unlocked and throws a party where everyone is invited."
Citizen Lab said it had informed Moiba of the vulnerabilities. Moiba has since released updates, the latest on 25 August, to fix the issues raised. However, researchers said they had yet to independently verify if all vulnerabilities had been addressed.
The BBC's calls to Moiba on Monday were not answered.
The introduction of the child monitoring law in April sparked some controversy, with critics raising privacy concerns.
