Constance Briscoe, who has been found guilty of lying to police, faces a fresh investigation into an allegation of fraud, Scotland Yard has said.

A BBC investigation has learned Briscoe is facing a criminal inquiry about her actions during a libel case brought against her by her mother.
Carmen Briscoe-Mitchell unsuccessfully tried to sue her daughter over claims made in her memoir, Ugly.
The Met is also reviewing further information provided by the BBC.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "We were contacted in September last year regarding an allegation of fraud, which relates to documents that were allegedly fraudulently obtained from Southwark Council. The matter is being investigated by Lewisham CID."
She added: "In April this year, we received information from the BBC in relation to that investigation and that's being reviewed."
Mrs Briscoe-Mitchell had brought the libel case against her daughter and publishers Hodder & Stoughton Ltd in 2008.
She said claims, made in the 2006 memoir, that she had physically and verbally abused Briscoe when she was a child were a "piece of fiction".
Doctors' letters seen by the BBC were said by Briscoe to back up her claim that she had been physically abused.
Police are now investigating whether or not those documents were falsified - as a doctor whose signatures appears on four of the letters said he did not write two of them.
On Thursday, barrister and part-time judge Briscoe was convicted of three counts of intending to pervert the course of justice at the Old Bailey.
Her mother had sat in court throughout the trial, during which the jury heard the defendant had lied to police probing former cabinet minister Chris Huhne's speeding points case.


Championship side Hull beat League Two Accrington Stanley on penalties to reach the League Cup second round.

Hull's Arsenal loanee Chuba Akpom broke the deadlock shortly into extra time but Matt Crooks equalised.
Greg Luer's header put Hull back in front three minutes later, but Terry Gornell took the game to penalties.
Both sides missed two of their first five penalties to send the spot-kicks into sudden death before Crooks fired over after Curtis Davies scored.
Hull City boss Steve Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside:

"I thought they were well organised, well drilled and have got some good players as well.
"We were lackadaisical and we weren't playing as quick as we should do. We played like it was a pre-season friendly and sometimes that happens when you come to places like this and that's what it looked like tonight.
"We've got a lot of young players and the experience of tonight will do them well."


Crofters in Sutherland could become involved in the space industry, according to a new report.

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has commissioned a study into whether launches of small commercial satellites could be done at The Moine.
The area of land forms part of the Melness Crofting Estate near Tongue on the north Highland coast.
HIE said it has also held talks with local residents about the idea of launching satellites into orbit.
Roy Kirk, Caithness and Sutherland Area Manager for HIE, said: "The satellite launch market is growing and we believe there will be an opportunity in the coming years for one location in Europe to establish a vertical launch centre.
"The Moine appears to meet many, if not all, of the requirement to become that location and we've commissioned this study to gather and weigh up the evidence."
He added: "While HIE recognises that a satellite launch site could provide an economic boon for Sutherland, we also care deeply that any potential environmental impacts are fully understood and evaluated as well."


The Scottish Liberal Democrats are to back a presumption against prison sentences of under a year in their manifesto for the Holyrood election.

Scottish judges are currently encouraged to avoid handing out sentences of three months or less.
The Lib Dems say this should be extended to 12 months in a bid to reduce re-offending, save money and cut the prison population.
The Scottish government has been holding consultations on the matter.
A presumption against sentences of three months or less was first introduced in 2010, meaning courts must publicly state reasons for imposing a short sentence when alternatives such as community payback orders are available.
Extending the existing system is backed by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons in Scotland, the Howard League for Penal Reform and some councils and social work organisations.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said such a move could reduce the "churn" of short-term prisoners through the penal system.
Figures show 4,126 people were given a custodial sentence of up to three months in the 2013/14 year, with 5,214 more given terms of between three and six months. Up to 60% of those sentenced to less than three months are reconvicted within a year.
The Scottish government has been considering extending the presumption system to sentences of six months or less.
As part of their 2016 election manifesto, the Scottish Liberal Democrats are to formally back doubling that, by extending the presumption to 12 months.
Justice spokeswoman Alison McInnes said prison sentences for more serious offenders should be complemented by "tough" community service programmes.
"One of the main priorities for Scottish Liberal Democrats is having a criminal justice system where if someone breaks the law, they are swiftly brought to justice," she said. "But we also believe offenders deserve a chance to get back on track and community rehabilitation is a fundamental part of that.
"A prison place costs Â£37,000 a year - much more than effective community-based sentences like Community Payback Orders which cost on average Â£1,900.
"That means this policy will also enable the Scottish Prison Service to really focus on engaging with more serious long-term offenders, not those who experts have deemed more troubling than dangerous."


Southend's League One play-off ambitions took a blow after a defeat by struggling Charlton at The Valley.

An Adam Thompson own goal for the Addicks in the 74th minute leaves Phil Brown's side a point behind sixth-placed Millwall.
Karl Robinson's men had only won one out of their previous 14 matches heading into the contest but got off to a great start after six minutes when Ricky Holmes managed to fire his shot past Christian Walton.
Brown's side quickly responded when John White headed home from Michael Timlin's pinpoint corner with 11 minutes played.
After the break, an Addicks corner caused chaos in the Shrimpers' penalty area as Josh Magennis' overhead kick deflected off a Southend player which had to be cleared off the line.
After 61 minutes, Stephen McLaughlin was put through by Simon Cox but Declan Rudd did well to deny the midfielder.
Charlton then took the lead after 74 minutes when Nathan Byrne's cross was flicked on by substitute Jake Forster-Caskey before the ball came off Southend defender Thompson to concede an unfortunate own-goal.
The Addicks survived a late onslaught including a Franck Nouble header to seal all three points.

Sunderland moved off the bottom of the table by beating reigning Premier League champions Leicester - their third win in four matches.

The Black Cats took the lead when Robert Huth turned a corner into his own net midway through the second half.
And before Leicester could mount a response, David Moyes' side added a second when Jermain Defoe drove in after Duncan Watmore's shot was blocked.
Substitute Shinji Okazaki flicked Demarai Gray's cross in at the near post to set up a tense finish, but Sunderland held on.
The result moves them up to 18th and within two points of the Foxes, who are yet to win away in the league this season.
Leicester are in real danger of becoming involved in a relegation battle and their return of 13 points is the worst record after 14 games of any defending champions in Premier League history.
Two wins from their three games prior to the visit of Leicester had given Sunderland fans some hope that their side have turned the corner under Moyes.
They lost in their previous outing - a 2-0 defeat at Liverpool after which Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said the Black Cats were the most defensive team he had ever seen.
However, they looked nothing of the sort against Leicester, attacking with pace and intent. Victor Anichebe - reborn under Moyes - has forged an impressive partnership with Defoe and the continuation of that will be crucial to Sunderland's hopes of climbing out of the relegation zone.
And the club's players also appear to have developed a strong team spirit, something that was exemplified in the final few seconds of the game as they threw themselves in front of the ball in a tense scramble before Jordan Pickford superbly punched away Wes Morgan's goal-bound shot.
This time last year, Vardy was being congratulated on social media by Ruud van Nistelrooy for breaking the Dutchman's record of scoring in 10 consecutive Premier League games.
Fast forward to today and the striker's form has dipped dramatically - his blank against Sunderland was his 16th game for Leicester without scoring.
Vardy got into good positions against the Black Cats. He was unlucky with a clever cushioned header that landed on the roof of the net and also nodded just wide from dangerous Marc Albrighton cross. However, the England international is not getting the service he enjoyed in an electric 2015-16 campaign.
During Leicester's title-winning season he linked up superbly with Riyad Mahrez, but the pair have rarely been on the same wavelength this season. Mahrez has found Vardy with just three passes in their past nine games and only once did the two combine against Sunderland.
There were suggestions that Ranieri was considering dropping Vardy for the Sunderland game and another match without scoring may increase the threat to his place in the side.
Sunderland boss David Moyes: "If we can win another three out of four we will be in a really good position. We are playing better and the team is getting better.
"We're much more of an attacking looking side now. We have got more options to attack and we have actually started to defend better."

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "We did our best today, but it wasn't enough. We have to keep working hard in training and trust the bad moment will turn.
"From the own goal you can see the luck is not with us - but we have to stay compact, stay together and react strongly."

A West African migrant entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco curled up next to a car engine and another was hidden behind the back seat of the Mercedes-300 car.

Spanish police found the pair late on Sunday during a customs check at El Tarajal, near the Moroccan border.
The two men from Guinea got first aid, having suffered from a lack of oxygen, Spain's Guardia Civil police said.
Sub-Saharan Africans often try to enter Ceuta, as a gateway to the EU.
The Mercedes 300 was found to have false number plates. Police detained two Moroccan men who were in the car when it was stopped.
It is not clear how long the man in the engine compartment had been inhaling noxious fumes for.
The two illegal migrants did not have any papers, and were identified in the statement only as "TD and AB from Guinea Conakry". They are also under official investigation now.
Ceuta and Melilla are tiny Spanish enclaves on the North African coast, which have erected formidable border fences to keep out illegal migrants.
The fences have led some migrants to resort to extreme methods to get into Spain, such as swimming into the ports or even hiding in suitcases.
Last month, a Moroccan man suffocated to death in a suitcase after his brother tried to smuggle him to mainland Spain aboard a ferry from Melilla.

Swindon Town have signed former Aston Villa striker Nathan Delfouneso on a contract until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old was a free agent after leaving Championship side Blackburn Rovers at the end of last season.
On Wednesday, Swindon head coach Luke Williams revealed the former England Under-21 forward was considering a deal at the League One club.
Delfouneso has also played for Burnley, Blackpool, Coventry City and Leicester City.

An airline passenger has won his case at at the Court of Appeal over flight delays, despite waiting six years to bring a case against the airline.

The court rejected an appeal by Thomson Airways against an earlier county court decision to award James Dawson Â£1,488.73.
Thomson argued Mr Dawson's claim fell outside a two-year time limit.
Legal experts said the ruling could lead to more than 11 million passenger claims and cost airlines up to Â£4bn.
Mr Dawson's solicitors said the judgment meant that airline passengers now had six years to bring a flight delay claim in England and Wales.
In a statement, the firm said it had "hundreds of litigated cases which have been stayed pending the outcome of the Dawson case, and thousands more ready to issue proceedings".
The claim by Mr Dawson, from Peterborough, was brought over a delay to a flight from London's Gatwick airport to the Dominican Republic in December 2006.
His flight was held up by a crew shortage caused by sickness and the flight eventually arrived at its destination more than six hours late.
Mr Dawson sought to recover 600 euros per person from the airline, which is payable as compensation for a flight of that length under European Union regulations.
The EU regulation does not stipulate a time limit for compensation to be claimed, leaving it up to national governments to set time limits.  In the case of the UK, the courts have interpreted this to mean that the six-year statute of limitations rule applies.
But the airline argued that a separate regulation known as the Montreal Convention applied.
The convention, which is also law in the UK, sets a two-year time limit for compensation claims, but crucially does not limit the amount of compensation that can be awarded.
As a result, the legal argument centred on whether Mr Dawson's claim had to be brought within the two-year Montreal Convention set limit or the six-year limit statute of limitations.
Mr Dawson began proceedings in December 2012,  just before the six-year period elapsed.
Thomson accepted it would have been liable to pay Mr Dawson compensation, but argued his claim was "out of time".
It is the second court case in a week over flight delays, after the Court of Appeal found in favour of a passenger over a flight delay.
Ronald Huzar, whose flight arrived 27 hours late, won a compensation fight with an airline which said the delay was caused by "extraordinary circumstances".
Mr Huzar said he was entitled to compensation under EU regulations after suffering "no little inconvenience" when his flight from Malaga, Spain, to Manchester left a day late in October 2011.
But Jet2.com bosses claimed an exemption, claiming the problem which caused the delay - a technical fault on an airliner - was unforeseeable and amounted to an "extraordinary circumstance".

Firefighters in London have been called to assist people who have become stuck in objects such as handcuffs and toilet seats more than 1,300 times in the last three years.

London Fire Brigade said each instance cost taxpayers some Â£290, meaning the mishaps have cost at least Â£377,000.
Emergency callouts included incidents where men had their genitals stuck in a toaster and a vacuum cleaner.
The brigade urged people to think carefully before calling 999.
In 2010-11, crews attended 416 incidents in which people became trapped or stuck in objects.
In 2011-12 this rose to 441 and in 2012-13 it rose again, to 453.
The most common object people needed help to escape from was handcuffs, with 79 callouts since 2010.
Third Officer, Dave Brown, said: "Some of the incidents our firefighters are called out could be prevented with a little common sense.
"I don't know whether it's the Fifty Shades effect, but the number of incidents involving items like handcuffs seems to have gone up.
"I'm sure most people will be Fifty Shades of red by the time our crews arrive to free them."
The brigade advised people to always keep the keys handy if they used handcuffs.
Some 18 incidents involved children with their heads stuck in potties or toilet seats.
And children got their fingers stuck in toys 17 times - including one boy with a piece of lego stuck on his finger and another with his head in a tambourine.


Cornwall scrum-half Matt Shepherd has signed a new contract with National One side Plymouth Albion.

The 26-year-old joined the Devon side last summer and scored 188 points this season, including 13 tries.
"I know some of the other teams have recruited well but my aim is to get Albion promoted back to the Championship," he said.
"I was shocked to get as many starts last season but the Albion squad pulled together and achieved great things."
Shepherd is the fourth player to commit to the club for next season, following Herbie Stupple, Dan Pullinger and Nile Dacres.


The 2016 Budget will be held on Wednesday 16 March, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has told MPs.

A week after unveiling his Autumn Statement, Mr Osborne must now prepare for this annual speech outlining fiscal forecasts and tax changes for the following financial year.
Last year there was a Budget on 18 March, the Chancellor's sixth.
However, following the General Election two months later, Mr Osborne held another Budget on 8 July.
This summer Budget was the first all-Tory presentation of Conservative plans to balance the books and raise revenue following the ending of the Coalition government.
On that occasion, the date of the summer Budget was announced in an article for the Sun newspaper, rather than the more conventional statement to Parliament, because MPs were not sitting.


Train fares in Britain will go up by an average of 2.3% from 2 January, the rail industry has announced.

The increase covers both regulated fares, which includes season tickets, and unregulated fares, such as off-peak leisure tickets.
The rise in regulated fares had already been capped at July's Retail Prices Index inflation rate of 1.9%. Unregulated fares face no cap.
Campaigners said passengers would be disappointed by the increase.
"Passengers will now want to see the industry's investment deliver a more reliable day-to-day railway," said Anthony Smith, chief executive of the watchdog Transport Focus.
"The government should consider setting rail fare rises around the Consumer Prices Index instead to bring rail fares into line with other recognised measures of inflation."
Lizzie Green, a London commuter, said: "Given that the trains are so irregular and the delays are so often it seems like a bit of a cheeky increase."
Some unregulated fares are likely to rise by considerably more than 2.3%.
That far outstrips the inflation rate, which is currently running at 0.9%, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index.
The pace of fare increases has slowed a little in recent years, but it follows a decade's worth of steeper rises which began in 2004.
It's all because successive governments have changed the way they split the bill for running the service, so that passengers pay more and other taxpayers pay less.
About 70% of the total network cost is met from ticket sales now. It used to be about 50%.
Ministers are spending record amounts upgrading the service, which is creaking under huge demand for train travel that no-one saw coming.
But it hasn't stopped punctuality levels falling well below target.
The Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators and Network Rail, said the industry was working to simplify fares and improve services.
"We understand how passengers feel when fares go up, and we know that in some places they haven't always got the service they pay for," said Paul Plummer, chief executive of the Rail Delivery Group.
"Around 97p in every pound passengers pay goes back into running and improving services."
The overall 2.3% increase covers fares in England and Wales and Scottish policy as expected at the moment. Northern Ireland is treated separately.
Authorities in Scotland can set their own fare increases.
A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "No final decision has been taken on next year's fares in Scotland and we are looking at options before the end of the year."
She added that the government would consider a fare freeze if it could "enable us to reduce costs to passengers while still delivering our ambitious infrastructure programme".
Meanwhile, more than 84,000 passengers on Southern Rail are to receive compensation for the disruption they have experienced during 2016.
The government said the delays were caused by "Network Rail track failures, engineering works, unacceptably poor performance by the operator and the actions of the RMT union."
It has set aside Â£15m to pay commuters.
Season ticket holders will be able to claim a month's compensation, directly into their bank account.
To qualify, customers must have paid for at least 12 weeks of travel, between 24 April and 31 December 2016.
From 11 December passengers on Southern Rail will additionally be able to claim compensation if their train is more than 15 minutes late.


Diets which cut out dairy food could be a "ticking time bomb" for young people's bone health, a charity is warning.

A National Osteoporosis Society survey found a fifth of under-25s are cutting out or reducing dairy in their diet.
It said it was concerned many young adults were putting their health at risk by following eating fads.
Cutting out dairy can be healthy if enough calcium is consumed from other sources, such as nuts, seeds and fish.
The charity surveyed 2,000 adults, including 239 under the age of 25 and 339 aged 25-35.
Milk and dairy food, such as cheese and yoghurt, are important sources of calcium for strong bones.
The charity's survey suggests that many young people seek dietary advice from bloggers and vloggers on the internet.
Although some of this advice can be good, the charity is concerned some people become too restrictive about what they eat.
A recent Food Standards Agency survey found that nearly half of 16-24 year olds said they had an intolerance to cow's milk and dairy products, compared to just 8% of over-75s.
Yet only 24% had actually had their condition diagnosed by a doctor.
Prof Susan Lanham-New, head of nutritional sciences at the University of Surrey and clinical advisor to the National Osteoporosis Society, said: "Diet in early adulthood is so important because by the time we get into our late 20s it is too late to reverse the damage caused by poor diet and nutrient deficiencies and the opportunity to build strong bones has passed."
For adults, 700mg of calcium per day is recommended but boys and girls between 11 and 18 need up to 1000mg.
However, a quarter of teenagers in the UK are thought to consume less than the minimum 400mg of calcium every day, dietary surveys suggest.
Recommended levels can be achieved by eating three portions of dairy a day, such as cereal with milk, a yoghurt and a small chunk of cheddar cheese, experts say.
Consuming foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as dairy products, green leafy vegetables, salmon, sardines, broccoli and baked beans, is particularly important before the age of 25, the osteoporosis charity said.
It is urging parents to talk to their children about their diet.
After the age of 50, half of all women and one in five men develop osteoporosis, a fragile bone condition that causes painful fractures of the hip, wrist and spine.
Smoking, lack of exercise and fizzy drinks high in acid are all detrimental to healthy bones.
A spokeswoman from the British Nutrition Foundation said: "While it's not necessarily dangerous to cut out dairy from your diet it's important to ensure you get enough calcium from other sources.
"Dairy tends to make the biggest contribution to our calcium intakes and so this needs to be replaced by other sources such as bread, cereal, canned fish, nuts, seeds and leafy green vegetables as well as choosing dairy alternatives that are fortified with calcium."


The solar-powered aeroplane, Solar Impulse, has completed a three-day flight over the Pacific Ocean.

It flew over San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge on Saturday evening as it prepared to land in California.
The plane took off from Hawaii on Thursday, where it underwent repairs for the past eight months after its batteries were damaged during the flight from Japan.
This is the ninth leg of its attempt to fly round the world.
"I crossed the bridge. I am officially in America," said pilot Bertrand Piccard as he flew above San Francisco Bay.
Solar Impulse started the journey last March in Abu Dhabi. The trip has involved two different pilots flying separate legs.
Piccard will land the plane later on Saturday evening at Moffett Airfield, located in Mountain View in Silicon Valley.
The landing is being delayed until winds drop.
Solar Impulse gets all its energy from the sun - through the 17,000 photovoltaic cells that cover the top surfaces of the craft.
These power propellers during the day, but also charge batteries that the vehicle's motors can then call on during the night.
The distance on this leg was 4,000km or 2,200 nautical miles.
Starting in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in March, Solar Impulse crossed Oman, India, Myanmar, and China.
It then flew to Japan, before undertaking a 8,924km passage to Hawaii.
That five-day, five-night crossing set a record for the longest ever non-stop solo aeroplane journey.
But the vehicle's batteries overheated during the trip, forcing the project to stop on the Pacific archipelago while repairs were conducted.
A further 20m euros (Â£16m; $23m) had to be raised from supporters during the winter to keep the project going for another year.
Piccard shares flying duties with his business partner, Andre Borschberg.
It was Borschberg who flew into Kalaeloa last July, and he will next take the controls on the next leg across the US mainland.
The pair's intention is to reach New York by the start of June, to begin preparations for an Atlantic crossing.
Assuming this is completed successfully, it should then be a relatively straightforward run back to the "finish line" in Abu Dhabi.
Piccard and Borschberg have been working on the Solar Impulse project for more than a decade.
They first trialled a smaller plane, taking it on a trans-America crossing in 2013.
The version of the vehicle they currently fly is considerably bigger.
Its wingspan is wider than a 747 jumbo jet, and, yet, it weighs only 2.3 tonnes.
Because the prop-driven craft moves so slowly, mission legs can take several days and nights of continuous flight.
This means Piccard and Borschberg - whoever is at the controls - have to stay alert for nearly all of the time they are airborne.
They are permitted only catnaps of up to 20 minutes - in the same way a single-handed, round-the-world yachtsman would catch small periods of sleep.
They also have to endure the physical discomfort of being confined in a cockpit that measures just 3.8 cubic metres in volume - not a lot bigger than a public telephone box.
But Borschberg says the experience so far has been exhilarating.
"An experimental plane is a living creation," he told BBC News.

Do you feel any pressure to appear 'perfect' on social media?

5 November 2015 Last updated at 13:20 GMT
Jenny has been speaking to an expert about how some people may feel pressured by sites such as Instagram.
Grace Barrett set up the Self Esteem Team, to help school children with their confidence, and how they can deal with the pressures of looking 'perfect'.
Take a look at her chat with Jenny here.


A "lethal mix" of failures at a Cumbrian hospital led to the unnecessary deaths of 11 babies and one mother, an investigation has ruled.

The inquiry into the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust found 20 major failures from 2004 to 2013 at Furness General Hospital.
It called the avoidable incidents "serious and shocking".
And it criticised the wider NHS for the way it had monitored and regulated events at the hospital.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said in the House of Commons that the tragedy was "a second Mid Staffs", albeit on a smaller scale.
In an echo of the inquiries in the Stafford Hospital scandal, the independent report said the problems found represented a "simultaneous failure of a great many systems at almost every level, from labour ward to the headquarters of national bodies".
Mr Hunt made number of recommendations, saying that the tragedy "must strengthen our resolve to deliver real and lasting culture change so these mistakes are never repeated."
He has appointed Dr Mike Durkin, National Director of Patient Safety at NHS England, to draw up new guidelines about reporting serious incidents as well as establish an independent national team that can go on rapid fact finding missions on a "no blames basis" as soon as issues arise.
And he's asked Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, Medical Director of NHS England, to review the professional codes of conduct for doctors and nurses to ensure mistakes are reported, not covered up.
The investigation - led by Dr Bill Kirkup, a former senior Department of Health official - found:
Despite the failures starting in 2004 and continuing throughout the period, including a cluster of five major incidents in 2008, it was only in 2011 that the issues at Furness General came to wider attention.
This was after strong criticism from a coroner who looked into the death of newborn Joshua Titcombe. The coroner ruled Joshua had died of natural causes in 2008 but midwives had repeatedly missed opportunities to spot and treat a serious infection.
Around this time, a report came to light that the trust itself had commissioned. It was produced in early 2010 but "suppressed" by the trust.
But before that, the trust had failed to act on earlier incidents and even distorted the way information was presented to inquests.
Who was failed at Furness?
The CQC, regional health authority and ombudsman had not acted properly on what they knew either.  There was knowledge of five major incidents in 2009 as the trust had revealed them as part of its application for foundation trust status, which is reserved for elite trusts.
But the regulators did not take the necessary action to fully investigate what had happened, and the trust gained foundation status in September 2010.
Dr Kirkup said: "This was a disturbing catalogue of missed opportunities."
His inquiry makes 44 recommendations, including:
Six midwives are already due before the NMC later this year - and a seventh is being investigated.
Meanwhile, a police investigation into the death of Joshua Titcombe is continuing, and the Health and Safety Executive is looking into the case.
Pearse Butler, chair of the Morecambe Bay Trust, said: "The trust has made some very serious mistakes.
"More than that the same mistakes were repeated. For these reasons, on behalf of the trust, I apologise unreservedly to the families concerned. I am deeply sorry that so many people have suffered."
She said the trust would look to learn the lessons of what went wrong. She said there was a new leadership team in place and extra staff had already been taken on.
Parent power prompted midwife review
James Titcombe's son Joshua was nine days old when he died of sepsis. He was born at Furness General Hospital and was transferred to two other hospitals before dying in Newcastle.
"We asked repeatedly if Joshua should have antibiotics and we were told 'No, he didn't [need any]'," said Mr Titcombe.
"He was wheezing, and he wasn't feeding properly, and my wife called the emergency bell because he was grunting.
"And every time, we were told Joshua was fine and that there was nothing to worry about. At no stage was a doctor ever called."
Afterwards Joshua's progress chart went missing, never to re-emerge, and the coroner later said there was a suspicion that it may have been deliberately destroyed.
On the report's publication, Mr Titcombe said: "I think I feel deeply sad, angry as well, and vindicated, all at the same time.
"For me this report really lays out how preventable Joshua's death was. I really recognise now when we talk about missed opportunities in this report, that for me means not having a six-year-old."


Farc rebels in Colombia say they have handed over 30% of their arms to United Nations (UN) monitors, under the terms of last year's peace agreement.

They will hand over another third next Wednesday, with the remainder due to be surrendered in a fortnight's time.
The weapons are to be stored at 26 locations around the country.
After five decades of war and years of negotiations, the government and the country's biggest rebel group sealed the agreement last year.
There are 7,000 rifles and pistols to be handed over before the Farc - the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - can become a political party.
Farc leader Rodrigo LondoÃ±o Echeverri, who is better known as Timochenko, announced the handover on social media on Wednesday.
Government sources and the UN confirmed that the weapons had been surrendered.
Farc rebels have until 20 June to hand over all their weapons - a deadline that was extended from an original date of 30 May.
This has been one of the most awaited moments of the implementation of the peace process in Colombia.
So far no photograph or video of a fighter handing over a weapon to a UN mission member has been seen. It is uncertain if there will be such picture. Still, with the verification of the UN, the disarmament of the largest guerrilla group in Colombia is finally taking place.
They need to get it over and done with so they can focus on the next step for their organisation: entering Colombia's political life, as civilians, with their own political party that they plan to launch by August this year.
How will they fare and how much support will they have from the Colombian people? Many do not like the Farc, even without arms. But most will value the fact that they will not use them any more to push for their political goals.
The decades-long conflict between rebel groups, state forces, paramilitaries and drug gangs killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced more than seven million.
The peace deal was initially rejected in a referendum, then reworked and implemented. Since it came in to force the national army has been granted access to areas that were once occupied by the Farc and former rebels have been rejoining civilian life.
But in a move that threatened the process, a rebel was arrested in contravention of the deal's terms. President Juan Manuel Santos put the arrest down to "confusion" and the man was released.
For his efforts to reach peace with the Farc, Mr Santos was awarded last year's Nobel Peace Prize.


Harry Potter author JK Rowling has said she has planned scripts for a total of five Fantastic Beasts films.

The first movie, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - which marks Rowling's debut as a screenwriter - is released on 17 November.
A sequel had already been confirmed by Warner Bros, but Rowling made her new announcement at a promotional event in London's Leicester Square.
She said that she was "pretty sure" the story would unfold over five films.
The Fantastic Beasts film is set in New York, and tells the story of a fictional author mentioned in the Harry Potter stories.
Eddie Redmayne plays the part of the animal-loving Newt Scamander, who visits New York's secret community of witches and wizards. The film is set 70 years before Harry Potter reads his book in the Hogwarts school.
Rowling, 51, said: "We always knew it was going to be more than one movie, and we said a trilogy as a place holder.
"But I've done the plotting properly and I'm pretty sure it's going to be five movies."
Redmayne, 34, said the author "has the most extraordinary imagination of our generation and she has created something entirely different.
"That world is spilling out of her head in a unique way."
David Yates - who directed the final four Harry Potter films - directed the first film and is due to return for the confirmed sequel.
The eight Harry Potter films have taken more than $7bn (Â£5.7bn) worldwide.

A restricted patient who went on the run while on escorted leave in Glasgow has handed himself in to police.

Owen Bonner, 47, who held two women hostage in Coatbridge in 1994, absconded from Stobhill Hospital's Rowanbank Clinic on 9 January.
He was sent to Carstairs Hospital without limit of time after the siege in the Marshall's Chunky Chicken factory.
He was on escorted leave to Rowanbank when he absconded.
The clinic is a medium-secure care centre near Stobhill hospital in Springburn.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said: "Owen Bonner, a restricted patient, has voluntarily returned and is in police custody before being returned to a secure establishment."


Riyad Mahrez has been allowed to leave the Algeria squad to "formalise" his move from Leicester City, according to the Algerian Football Federation (FAF).

The 26-year-old has been the subject of three bids from Italian club Roma since expressing his desire to leave the 2015-16 Premier League champions.
The FAF said he had been given permission to miss training to agree a deal before the transfer deadline.
Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea are also said to be interested.
But Arsenal are not in contention to sign the winger.
Roma's third bid was reported to be £32m and the club have said they are now looking at other options.
A statement from the FAF said Mahrez "was authorised by the national coach Lucas Alcaraz and the Algerian Football Federation to make an express trip to Europe to formalise on Thursday his transfer to his new club. The national team will fly without him on Thursday morning to Lusaka to face Zambia on Saturday."
Mahrez was named the PFA Player of the Year after playing a key part in Leicester's title-winning season.
He has featured in all three of the Foxes' Premier League fixtures so far this term.


Jockey James Doyle responded to being given a 15-day whip ban by the British Horseracing Authority by winning both feature races at Newmarket.

Doyle rode Cardsharp to victory in the Arqana July Stakes, before also taking the Princess Of Wales' Arqana Racing Club Stakes on Hawkbill.
Earlier on Thursday, the 29-year-old was given a 15-day suspension for using his whip above the permitted level during a race at Sandown last Saturday.
It was his fifth offence in six months.
"The rules are very fair. They are in place for a reason and I think we have the best whip rules," Doyle, who will see five days of his ban deferred for 42 days, told ITV Racing.
BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
Perhaps it was karma for James Doyle.
Having received a lengthy whip ban at a British Horseracing Authority morning hearing, instead of stamping a foot and saying how unfair everything was, he put up his hands, accepted his penalty with contrition and said he'd endeavour to learn from it all.
And his day turned into one of the down-and-then-up variety as he took both features, the Princess of Wales' Stakes on Hawkbill, a thorough pro, and the July Stakes on Cardsharp, who messed about a bit beforehand, but showed plenty of ability.


Bermuda's Flora Duffy won the final event of the ITU World Triathlon Series in Mexico to become world champion.

Fifty years ago, Ford launched an experiment in the electric cars market.

It unveiled its Comuta model in June 1967, built at the car giant's Dunton Technical Centre, near Laindon in Essex.
Using technology similar to that used in a milk float, it could travel 40 miles (64km) at a speed of 25mph (40km/h).
At the time of its unveiling, Ford said: "We regard this as a step in our programme to develop a commercially practical electric car."
A Ford spokesman said: "There was never an intention to put it into production. It was an experimental car, with just two Comutas built - one is now in the Science Museum."
Now, the company has seven electric vehicles it plans to introduce over the next five years.
Registrations of new ultra-low emissions vehicles, such as plug-in electric cars, are rising sharply. Between April and June 2016, there were nearly 10,000 electric vehicles registered.
Here is a look back at the Ford Comuta in pictures:


Voting is being held in India to elect a new president.

The front-runner is a former state governor and Dalit (formerly untouchable) leader, Ram Nath Kovind.
He is being challenged by opposition candidate and India's first woman speaker Meira Kumar who is also a Dalit.
Indian presidents are not elected directly by the people but by an electoral college made up of members of parliament and state assemblies.
The results of the poll are expected to be announced on 20 July.
The winner will replace Pranab Mukherjee, a political veteran of the main opposition Congress party, who has held the post from 2012.
Polling began in parliament in the capital, Delhi, and state capitals, at 1000 (04:30GMT). Voting is expected to end at 1700 hours.
A total of 4,896 lawmakers - parliamentarians and legislators - are expected to vote in Monday's election.
Mr Kovind, 71, a trained lawyer, has been a two-time BJP MP and governor of the Bihar state. If elected he will be India's second Dalit president.
Congress veteran Meira Kumar, 72, a former lawyer and diplomat, is also from the Dalit community. She has been elected to parliament five times and holds a seat in the state of Bihar.
She is the daughter of the late Babu Jagjivan Ram, a prominent Dalit leader and former deputy prime minister of India.
The Indian president's position is largely ceremonial, but presidents do play decisive roles in in determining who forms the government when national elections do not produce clear results.


Hundreds of people joined a dog owner when he took his beloved but poorly whippet Walnut on a final walk.

Mark Woods encouraged people on social media under #walkwithwalnut to share the last outing on a beach in Cornwall.
Walnut the whippet, who was 18-years-old, has now been put down because of his ill health.
Mr Woods said the reaction from people around the world who had heard about Walnut on social media had been "incredible".
Writing on Facebook, Mr Woods confirmed Walnut had died.
He said: "Walnut passed away this morning at 11.56am. The family and our three whippets, Monty, Nelson and Charlie were also in the room.
"He went very quickly and in my arms. I am writing this post because I owe it to everyone who has supported myself, my family and most importantly Walnut.
"Thank you to the hundreds of people that attended the walk this morning and to all those that had their own walks with their beloved pets at 9.30am all around the world.
"I also want to thank the wonderful people of Newquay for their support which I will never forget as long as I live. God bless you all."
Mr Woods said the pair been through an "awful lot together", including two marriages, three engagements and a move from London to Cornwall.
He said Porth Beach, which is closed to dogs during the summer months, was Walnut's favourite beach.
A Kennel Club spokesman said whippets tended to live until they were thirteen to fourteen years old, so Walnut's age was "impressive" and "certainly unusual for the breed".
"The walk for Walnut is a lovely idea and will no doubt give him the send-off he deserves."


Mae arweinydd UKIP yn y Cynulliad, Neil Hamilton yn mynnu na fydd "gorfodi'r iaith Gymraeg i lawr cyrn gwddf plant" yn help i sicrhau Cymru ddwyieithog.

Fe wnaeth ei sylwadau ar ôl teithio i Langennech i gwrdd â rhieni sy'n gwrthwynebu'r cam i droi'r ysgol yn un cyfrwng Gymraeg.
Ym mis Ionawr, pleidleisiodd mwyafrif cynghorwyr Sir Gâr o blaid y newid.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran y cyngor bod y camau statudol wedi'u dilyn a'u bod wedi ymgynghori'n eang cyn dod i'r penderfyniad.
Dywedodd Mr Hamilton ei fod yn cefnogi bwriad Llywodraeth Cymru i gael miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050, ond bod y penderfyniad ar Ysgol Llangennech yn mynd yn erbyn "dymuniadau rhieni".
"Y bobl anoddefgar yn fan hyn yw'r aelodau Plaid Cymru sy'n gorfodi hyn ar bentref sydd ddim am ei weld," meddai Mr Hamilton.
"Fel arweinydd UKIP yn y Senedd dwi wedi bod yn flaenllaw wrth gefnogi camau i hyrwyddo diddordebau'r iaith Gymraeg."
Mynnodd hefyd ei fod yn amddiffyn diddordebau rhieni oedd wedi gweld polisi addysg yn cael ei "osod" arnyn nhw gan gynghorwyr, er bod ymgynghoriad wedi derbyn tua'r un nifer o sylwadau o blaid ac yn erbyn y syniad.
"Os ydyn ni'n ceisio gorfodi'r iaith Gymraeg lawr cyrn gwddf pobl fyddai fel arall am ei gwarchod, ond dydyn nhw ddim ei eisiau ar gyfer eu plant, fyddwn ni ddim yn ennill y frwydr dros feddyliau pobl er mwyn sicrhau bod Cymru'n dod yn wlad ddwyieithog o fewn fy mywyd i," meddai.
Wrth ymateb i sylwadau Mr Hamilton, dywedodd Aelod Cynulliad Plaid Cymru Simon Thomas fod y penderfyniad wedi bod yn un democrataidd.
"Dwi'n meddwl ei bod hi'n anffodus iawn bod UKIP yn trio achosi cynnen rhwng pobl sy'n siarad Cymraeg a Saesneg - mae'r penderfyniad yn Llangennech yn un i'r gymuned leol, yr ysgol, y llywodraethwyr, ac yn y pen draw, i'r cyngor sir," meddai.
"Mae'r broses sydd wedi bod yn digwydd dros y tair blynedd diwethaf wedi bod yn glir a thryloyw i bawb, ac mewn ffordd ddemocrataidd."
Dywedodd y cynghorydd Gareth Jones, aelod cabinet Cyngor Sir Gâr ar addysg: "Mae'r penderfyniad ar y cynnig i newid darpariaeth ysgol gynradd yn Llangennech wedi dilyn proses hir, ac rydyn ni'n fodlon bod y camau statudol wedi eu dilyn a'n bod ni wedi ymgynghori'n eang."
Dywedodd cadeirydd rhanbarth Caerfyrddin Cymdeithas yr Iaith, Sioned Elin: "Mae newid ysgol Llangennech i fod yn ysgol Gymraeg yn bwysig i'r sir gyfan yn ogystal â Llangennech.
"Dim ond addysg Gymraeg fydd yn sicrhau bod plant yn rhugl yn y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg ac yn sicrhau cyfleoedd gwaith a chymdeithasol iddynt yn y dyfodol.
"Roedd yn rhagweladwy y byddai Neil Hamilton yn achub ar y cyfle i wneud safiad gwrth-Gymraeg fel hyn, fyddai'n amddifadu cenhedlaeth arall o blant o'r gallu i fyw a gweithio yn Gymraeg.
"Beth sydd i'w ddisgwyl gan rywun nad yw'n trafferthu byw yn yr etholaeth na'r wlad y mae'n gwasanaethu?"


A musical version of the 1993 film that marked Robert De Niro's directorial debut is to come to Broadway later this year, with De Niro as its co-director.

A Bronx Tale, which began its life as a one-man stage play before being filmed, will run at the Longacre Theatre in New York from 3 November.
The show was first staged at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey last year.
De Niro, 72, said he was "very excited" to "bring this special story to new audiences".
"A Bronx Tale has always had a very special meaning to me and I always thought it had great potential to be a musical," he said.
Co-directed by Jerry Zaks, the show tells of an Italian-American teenager who finds himself torn between the contrasting examples set by his father and a mob-boss father figure.
Zaks, whose Broadway credits include Guys and Dolls and La Cage aux Folles, previously directed Chazz Palminteri's one-man show when it ran on Broadway in 2007.
De Niro, who played the "good" father role in the 1993 film, described Zaks as "a great person" from whom he had "already learned a lot".
The musical features a score by Aladdin composer Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, who previously worked together on Disney's Tangled and the stage version of The Little Mermaid.
A Bronx Tale is one of two films De Niro has directed to date, the other being 2006 espionage drama The Good Shepherd.


Ofcom has launched an investigation launched into comments about bisexuality made by Christopher Biggins on Celebrity Big Brother.

The broadcasting watchdog said it had received 20 complaints about the housemate's remarks, aired on Channel 5 on 1 August.
The actor was removed from the Big Brother house a few days later.
The show's producers said they took the decision because he had made "comments capable of causing great offence".
During a conversation about homosexuality, the openly gay star had said: "The worst type though is, I'm afraid to say, the bisexuals... what it is is people not wanting to admit they are gay."
The 67-year-old was warned three times by Big Brother for comments which could cause "widespread offence".
The final one involved a conversation where he said Aids was "a bisexual disease".
After he was removed from the house, Biggins said he was he was "very sorry and very sad".
An Ofcom spokesperson said: "We're investigating whether a contestant's comments about bisexual people were offensive and breached generally accepted standards."

Former rugby star Scott Hastings and his wife Jenny have talked about how she disappeared from their Edinburgh home for 36 hours earlier this year.

Mrs Hastings walked for miles from her home in Trinity to the Pentland Hills during a period when she was suffering from depression.
The couple are now spearheading a charity campaign to keep people active and improve their mental wellbeing.
The 100 Streets challenge encourages people to get out with friends.
Hastings, who won 65 caps for Scotland, said: "It's asking people to go out and either walk, jog or cycle 100 streets in support of Support in Mind Scotland, who do some marvellous work within the communities across Scotland to promote physical wellbeing, mental health and wellness."
The 52-year-old said his wife had suffered from mental health problems for many years.
"The way she gets out of the low periods within her life is actually to get out and get fresh air," he said.
Hastings said the idea of the 100 Street challenge was for people to get out and exercise with support groups of friends and families, rather than being alone.
"They can do it over one day or they can do 10 streets a day or one street for 100 days on the trot," he said.
"But it is all about raising awareness of mental health and, in fact, speaking to people and getting out and exercising is really important."
Jenny Hasting told the John Beattie programme that she hopes she can change her behaviour to avoid a repeat of the incident in March during which she wandered alone for hours.
She said: "I just had to get away from everyone. I felt I was in everybody's way and I needed to have some time away myself without telling anyone. I didn't want to be in contact with anyone."
Mrs Hastings ended up at the Harlaw reservoir in the Pentland hills.
"I walked all that way and then lay by the reservoir and contemplated on what was going on," she said.
She later got frightened because she had no way to contact anyone, having left her phone at home.
Scott Hastings says: "This pattern of behaviour is almost like a self-harm.
"There are self-harmers out there who abuse themselves, who cut themselves, who turn to alcohol for example.
"For Jenny it was all about taking herself out of a scenario."
The rugby star said his wife had gone missing before but there had always been a phone call before nightfall.
"This was actually rather worrying because she found herself in the middle of the night alone, unable to speak to anybody and with troubled thoughts," he said.
"It is very difficult to understand and contemplate what she is going through at the time.
"You have got to appreciate it is an illness and when people are ill they don't make correct decisions."
He said people who were suffering needed to understand they could speak to medical people, family or one of the phone helplines such as SAMH or Support in Mind Scotland.
He said he hoped this could stop someone leaving home and walking aimlessly in a mentally disturbed state.
When Jenny went missing she got help by going into a police station.
She said: "The police were fantastic. They don't wish people to be disappearing. They want to be there to be a support and safe place for the likes of myself to be able to go and ask them for help.
"Not just a helpline, I can walk to the station and say 'I need help'.
"They offered that."
Jenny said the Support in Mind challenge was just the latest attempt to break the stigma of mental health and offer support.
She says: "I know I can talk with people and maybe that's one of the messages we are trying to get out.
"We all can talk with people. The stigma is definitely breaking down - even the Royals are talking about mental health."


Asian shares were mixed on Wednesday as traders mulled chances of a US interest rate rise as soon as next month.

Atlanta Federal Reserve president Dennis Lockhart told the Wall Street Journal that it would take significant deterioration in the economy for him not to support a rise in September.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei index closed up 0.5% at 20,614.06 points.
The market was bolstered by construction shares after a rise in earnings at Kajima Corp.
However, shares in carmaker Toyota fell 2.4%, despite the carmaker reporting a 10% rise in quarterly profits.
In China, the Shanghai Composite closed 1.7% lower at 3,694.57, despite a survey indicating that activity in China's services sector expanded at its fastest pace in 11 months in July.
The Caixin/Markit services purchasing managers' index rose to 53.8 from June's 51.8 - also marking its 12th consecutive month of expansion. A reading above 50 indicates growth in the sector.
Hong Kong did not follow the downward lead from the mainland, though, and finished 0.5% higher at 24,522.29 points.
In South Korea, the Kospi index closed up 0.1% at 2,029.76, while in Australia the S&P/ASX 200 index ended down 0.4% at 5,674.


Nathan Dyer would welcome Leonardo Ulloa joining Swansea City from Leicester City.

The Swans have enquired about the Argentine striker who is valued at £15m, but Fox's boss Claudio Ranieri has dismissed the transfer speculation.
Dyer spent last season on loan with the Premier League champions and compared Ulloa with former Swans scorer Michu.
"He's a great player. I loved playing with him we had a good relationship he's a good guy," he said.
"He has the same attributes as Michu had. He's calm on the ball, has great presence and he's a great finisher.
"If he does decide to make the trip to Wales I'd more than welcome him. He'd be a great addition to the squad and he'll fit in nicely."
Michu scored 22 goals for Swansea in 2012-13 including one in the League Cup final when Dyer scored twice.
Dyer has returned to Swansea with a Premier League winners' medal after his spell at Leicester.
He says Ulloa impressed him although neither player featured regularly in the starting XI as Leicester upset the odds by winning the title.
"Obviously he was frustrated at the few chances he got - everyone was who was on the sideline really because the team didn't change," added Dyer.
"And why not, they were doing so well I wouldn't have changed the team either.
"It was great to be part of that team that went on to win the title and they were a great bunch of lads as well."

A remembrance service has been held at an abandoned church in a derelict village in Wiltshire.

The Army took over Imber on Salisbury Plain during World War Two to use the area for training. Residents had to move out and were never allowed back.
Imber has been used by the military ever since. It allows access to the village a few times each year.
About 100 people attended the service at St Giles Church, one of the only buildings remaining standing.
The Rev Mark Jones, the rector of Bratton, who took the service, said: "All Imber services have a special poignancy because of the evacuation and the fact it doesn't have a population living in the village.
"This is an active military range, so people have to be escorted by the Army over to Imber.
"Having said that, whenever services take place at Imber the church is absolutely packed out."


Substitute Divock Origi scored twice as Liverpool made short work of Stoke to leapfrog their opponents and go eighth in the Premier League.

A long-range shot from Alberto Moreno put the Reds ahead before Bojan escaped his marker to nod in Stoke's equaliser.
Daniel Sturridge put away Sheyi Ojo's cross to regain the lead and Origi then headed in, before his attempted cross drifted in after the break.
Stoke rarely threatened apart from a late run from Mame Biram Diouf.
Relive Liverpool's comfortable win
By making seven changes to his starting line-up, including first Premier League starts for Ojo and Kevin Stewart, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp revealed his priorities for the season's run-in.
The lure of European silverware -  and the resulting Champions League place - means their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Borussia Dortmund on Thursday now takes precedent over their vanishingly slim chances of gate-crashing the Premier League top four.
Klopp opted to play Origi as a lone striker in the first-leg draw in Germany and Sturridge looked lively in the first half as he attempted to win back his place for the return against Dortmund.
After Moreno's opener, the England international rattled the advertising hoardings with a powerful low shot and showed excellent instincts to get on the end of Ojo's cross to score.
But Origi also took his chance to shine, adding muscular movement to the Liverpool attack after coming on at the break. The Belgian might have had a hat-trick had he managed to keep a header on target from a Moreno cross.
The two worked well in tandem as Sturridge completed 90 minutes for the first time since 28 February, but surely it is a case of either or against Dortmund on Thursday.
Stoke have now won just three times in 61 league meetings at Liverpool.
Before the match, Potters' manager Mark Hughes had noted, rather hopefully, that that win - like this match - was on Grand National weekend,
But his side were relegated to rank outsiders as soon as Liverpool moved two goals clear early in the second half.
Hughes instead will have to take the long-term view. His side are in the same ninth place that they managed in in his previous two seasons at the club, seven points off last season's total of 54 with five games remaining.
Record signing Giannelli Imbula showed he can provide a platform for Stoke's attack to shine, but his good work went to waste as the likes of Ibrahim Afellay and Xherdan Shaqiri faded from the game.

Klopp's fourth home league win since taking charge in October took the Reds to within nine points of fourth-placed Manchester City, but perhaps more valuable were the lessons he will have learned about some of his fringe players.
Joe Allen, who is likely to step up from understudy to first-team regular after Jordan Henderson's injury, used the ball intelligently while Ojo showed electric pace to beat Shaqiri and set up Sturridge's goal.
Klopp also got several reminders of his side's weak points though as Ryan Shawcross and Philipp Wollscheid won headers in dangerous areas just as 5ft 7in Bojan did to score his goal.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "Today, I'm really proud. We made changes and it was a completely new formation. I'm sure the players have never played together before in this line-up.
"Stoke played 70 to 80% long balls to Peter Crouch, and you have to be tuned into that. It was a smart performance.
"Divock is still a young lad. We have to be patient. He can play together with Daniel.
"There's absolutely no doubt about that. We hope it stays like this that we have two strikers available like this because we have a big number of games to go."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "Once goals go in, it becomes difficult. It could have become embarrassing for us. It was damage limitation in the end.
"I was reasonably happy with the first-half performance, even though we were behind. But we kept on letting ourselves down by not switching on when the ball went dead.
"It was a difficult day, where we didn't acquit ourselves well enough.
"Today's result has hurt us obviously. We allowed Liverpool to go above us and teams around us are picking up points. But when we have a setback, we almost always bounce back, and we need to do that."

The DUP will have a new leader in just over two weeks time.

The replacement for Peter Robinson will be chosen by the party's 46 most senior elected representatives.
Last month, Mr Robinson confirmed that his seven-year term as DUP leader and first minister was coming to an end.
Now the party has said his successor will be chosen on 17 December, at a hotel in Mr Robinson's east Belfast constituency.
The decision is in the hands of the party's MLAs, MPs and single MEP.
Nominations open immediately and will close on 9 December.
However, it will be a surprise if more than one name is put forward, that of the current DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds.
Mr Robinson is expected to remain as first minister until the new year when his replacement will be announced. It is expected to be the current finance minister Arlene Foster.


New Birmingham City boss Harry Redknapp takes charge of his first game with an away Championship derby against Blues' fierce rivals Aston Villa.

The hosts are without suspended top scorer Jonathan Kodjia, whose ban for kicking an opponent in Monday's defeat at Fulham has been reduced to one game.
Blues may have to give goalkeeper Adam Legzdins a first start in three months.
He came on at half-time in Monday's home defeat by Burton to deputise for the injured Tomasz Kuszczak.
Legzdins will continue in goal if Blues' first-choice keeper fails to recover from the knock which forced him off against the Brewers.
Top scorer Lukas Jutkiewicz recovered from a hamstring injury to play 90 minutes in Gianfranco Zola's final game in charge on Monday, and should keep his place.
Although Villa are without their talismanic top scorer Kodjia, they do have a dangerous potential replacement in fit-again Gabby Agbonlahor, who has not scored in 14 months but has a prolific derby record against Blues. They also have January signing Scott Hogan who, although having so far netted just once for Villa, did score in both this season's meetings with Birmingham for previous club Brentford.
While Agbonlahor has been sidelined for three months with a torn hamstring, boss Steve Bruce - up against his old club - will also monitor the fitness of Wales international full-back Neil Taylor, who has missed the last two games with a groin strain.
Redknapp starts with a derby, just as Bruce finished his Blues career with a derby, in November 2007 - a game that ended in a 2-1 Villa away victory, thanks to Agbonlahor's late winner.
Villa manager Steve Bruce told BBC WM:
"I did think Kodia's red card was harsh. The fourth official got involved and he was the one who made the decision. But it was pretty obvious there was no real malice. It should have been two yellow cards and get on with the game. It's a shame we haven't got him but at least he's now available for the last two games.
"Just when Gabby had got himself in good physical nick, he did his hamstring. But he's got a good record in derby games and is desperate to do something.
"Scott Hogan has not had the best of starts with us, but he has been a bit hampered with injury."
Birmingham City manager Harry Redknapp:
"I've got what I've got here. You can blame who you want. You can blame Zola - and I wouldn't blame Franco because he's a fantastic guy - but it comes down to the players.
"I knew it was three points (above the relegation zone) and saw the goal difference and thought 'that's not good either'. It's a risk but what can happen? No one has a magic wand in football.
"You could put (Sir Alex) Ferguson in the same position and he's not going to walk in the door and make them play like Manchester United."
Villa will hold a minute's silence before the game in honour of their former defender Ugo Ehiogu, whose death at the age of 44 was announced on Friday.
"It's a tragedy," Villa boss Bruce told BBC Sport. "And it puts a game of football into perspective. All fans will show their respect to a really good player, whether you're claret and blue, or a blue.
"It's just unthinkable that he's passed away. Shocking news. He was so young, so fit and so athletic. And I believe he was turning into a very good coach too. The word on the grapevine was that he'd gone along very quietly working with Tottenham's academy and their Under-23s, and that he was making a very big name for himself.
"I played against him many times. The 1994 League Cup final springs to mind. He was a big, huge colossus of a man who took no nonsense. A very good player. He and Gareth Southgate were the cornerstone of this club for a lot of years and the envy of a lot of clubs. Two top-class players. And, when they left and went to Middlesbrough, they did very well there too."


This summer, the world's fastest athletes are taking to the stage in Rio for the Olympics.

To mark this great sporting occasion, BBC 6 Music is celebrating the motivational power of music.
From 5-19 August, BBC 6 Music will be playing tunes that help propel members of the Great Britain squad to victory; from young athletes like Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Adam Gemili to the double Olympic rowing champion James Cracknell.
There will be additional contributions from sporty stars of the BBC, including 6 Music's own dance beat devotee Nemone, who used to run the 400m competitively.
And 6 Music is putting together a playlist of tunes to help listeners get out there and run - from seasoned sprinters seeking personal bests to armchair athletes who've not run in a while.
They've got the tunes, if you're willing to clock up the kilometres in a collective running challenge.
The first 16 tracks on the playlist are the motivational and running favourites of Dr Costas Karageorghis, a sports psychologist at Brunel University and the author of Applying Music in Exercise and Sport.
According to Dr Costas Karageorghis, if you pick music with your activity and preferences in mind the reduction in perceived effort can be as big as 12%
Steve Lamacq launched this playlist on his show on Friday, 5 August.
It is designed to motivate you from mental preparation, through low, medium and high intensity activity, to cool down and recuperation - and Dr Karageorghis' recommendations will be boosted by tracks that 6 Music listeners say really work for them.
Dr Karageorghis has been examining the effects of music on exercise and sport for over 20 years and his research has led him to describe music as a 'legal drug', which can stimulate or sedate an anxious, pre-competition athlete.
He explains that one of the main ways in which music can enhance performance is through 'auditory-motor synchronisation', the synching of movements to the beat.
If you analyse an athlete's stride rate and find music which is one or two beats per minute faster, it can increase their endurance, or their speed, but the increased effort is imperceptible. In other words, music makes you work harder but it reduces your perception of effort.
His research shows that music can also help by influencing arousal levels, or how 'psyched up' a runner feels.  A loud, upbeat piece of music can help generate a winning mind-set, while a slow, sedative piece can have the opposite effect. It also also blocks fatigue-related signals that go from your muscles and vital organs to the brain.
Therefore, according Dr Karageorghis' research, if you pick music with your activity and preferences in mind, the reduction in perceived effort can be as big as 12%.

So which tracks should you be running to?
Musical preferences are very subjective, and Dr Krageorghis hasn't identified one, champion-making genre. But he says that a powerful track will have a strong bass line, a steady and driving rhythm, affirming lyrics and uplifting harmonies.
And you needn't worry about matching your feet to the beats because music used 'asynchronously' will also be effective. Indeed, researchers have identified a rhythmic sweet spot: a tempo range of between 120 and 140 beats per minute.
One of the consequences of the work conducted by Dr Karageorghis and his peers is that governing bodies like USA Track & Field have banned the use of music in competition!
But the use of music, where safe to do so, is actively encouraged in 6 Music's Running Challenge. Select your soundtrack, lace up those trainers - and let us know which tunes work for you.

A former Chelsea footballer claims the club paid him £50,000 to keep quiet about allegations of sexual abuse by a former chief scout.

Gary Johnson told the Mirror he had been abused as a youth player in the 1970s by Eddie Heath, who is now dead.
According to the Mirror, in 2015 Mr Johnson signed a confidentiality agreement and accepted £50,000 from the club, but they did not accept blame.
Chelsea said they had appointed a law firm to investigate a former employee.
The NSPCC children's charity said more than 860 people had called its dedicated football hotline, set up a week ago after several former players alleged past abuse by coaches.
The National Police Chiefs' Council said 55 amateur and professional clubs had been linked to police investigations in 17 force areas.
Mr Johnson, 57, was a member of Chelsea's first team from 1978 to 1981.
He joined the club as an 11-year-old in 1970 and said he had been groomed from the age of 13 by Heath.
He said once the abuse had begun, Heath would attack him at "every opportunity", adding: "He would get me naked in bed, try more adventurous things."
He said: "During the course of this three to four years, he got me to perform in threesomes with other boys, so I know there are other victims out there - it is now up to them if they come forward."
Mr Johnson said he had kept the abuse a secret for decades, until the Jimmy Savile scandal had encouraged him to speak out.
He claimed the Professional Footballers' Association did not return his calls, but the PFA told the BBC it had spoken to Mr Johnson in May and August 2013, and had advised him to go to the police.
Mr Johnson told the Mirror that in 2014 he was advised by police - who have not commented on the claims - to "go back to Chelsea".
He went to a law firm who approached Chelsea for compensation.
"[Chelsea] basically said 'prove it'," said Mr Johnson. "It made me feel like they thought I was faking it."
The BBC understands that the confidentiality clause was lifted on Wednesday.
Mr Johnson said: "Chelsea are one of the biggest and richest clubs in the world.
"All their fans deserve to know the truth. I know they asked me to sign a gagging order. How many others are there out there?
"I hope and pray no clubs are allowed to cover this up - no-one should escape justice."
Mirror editor Lloyd Embley told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Chelsea had been right to lift the confidentiality clause, but there were still questions as to why the money had been paid.
He said: "Premier League rules would seem to suggest that a club would need to come forward and say if they had evidence of child abuse."
Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn said: "We have clear rules in the game and if there's any evidence of a breach of those - and hushing up would be one - when it's our turn to apply the rules, we absolutely will, regardless of size of club."
In a statement, Chelsea said: "Chelsea Football Club has retained an external law firm to carry out an investigation concerning an individual employed by the club in the 1970s, who is now deceased.
"The club has also contacted the FA to ensure that all possible assistance is provided as part of their wider investigation."
On Thursday, a number of former Southampton players alleged that they were subjected to years of grooming and sexual abuse by a former club employee.
Southampton FC said they would co-operate fully with any police investigation.
A former Newcastle United player, David Eatock, also came forward on Thursday, to say he had been abused by coach George Ormond.
Sir John Hall, chairman of Newcastle United at that time, said he had not been made aware of any allegations or rumours of abuse when in charge.
The sexual abuse charity Safeline said the abuse extended "way beyond" football, into other sports.
Neil Henderson, its chief executive, said the football revelations had prompted a 91-year-old man to call in.
He said: "He's lived with abuse for 80 years, and the courage of the footballers made him want to speak.
"We're getting people from schools, from scouts, from ice hockey, from different walks of life... we need to recognise that there are a lot more victims."
The FA is supporting the hotline set up by the NSPCC. It is available 24 hours a day on 0800 0232642.


A Galatasaray player who endorsed a set of knives as Leeds United paid tribute to fans fatally stabbed before a game against his club has apologised.

Wesley Sneijder, a Dutch international who plays for the Turkish side, tweeted a promotional picture of the set.
Earlier, Leeds United paid tribute to fans Christopher Loftus, 35, and Kevin Speight, 40 who died in Turkey.
They were stabbed in disturbances on 5 April 2000 before Leeds' Uefa Cup semi-final match against Galatasaray.
Sneijder's tweet was met with an angry response from Leeds fans and was soon deleted and he apologised.
A minute's silence was held before Leeds United's match with Blackburn at Elland Road and tributes were laid in the centre circle.
A Leeds spokesman said: "It would be disappointing to see this on any day, but especially this weekend when we have a number of tributes planned out of respect for the fans who went to watch their team and never came home."
Ali Umit Demur was jailed for 15 years for the deaths of Mr Loftus and Mr Speight.
Four other men were also jailed for their part in the attack.


The cause of a fire that destroyed a prehistoric settlement dubbed Britain's "Pompeii" was unlikely ever to be known, a forensic archaeologist said.

A "dramatic" blaze ripped through the roundhouses about 3,000 years ago at Must Farm quarry in Cambridgeshire.
River silt helped preserve the timbers and contents.
But Dr Karl Harrison, who has been brought in to investigate the cause,  said a definitive explanation was unlikely to be established.
The Whittlesey site has been described as the "best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found" in the country.
Dr Harrison said char patterns suggested the fire started within one of the houses and could "assist " in building up a picture of what the site would have looked like.
The forensic archaeologist, from Cranfield University's Wiltshire campus, specialises in the archaeology of fires within structures.
"Must Farm gives us a particularly dramatic burnt building to look at," he said.
"Normally when we get an opportunity to study prehistoric fires it's because they're preserved in mud brick buildings in the Near East, not in Cambridgeshire - so having this material preserved is absolutely incredible."
Evidence suggests the fire probably started within the largest roundhouse, but the cause is likely to remain unknown.
"It could have been a deliberate fire to clear the site for a new house, or set as a ritual closure of a site, perhaps if the family died," Dr Harrison said.
However, as many of the contents were still inside, he said: "It's looks like they just ran out the door - but that might not tell the whole story."


Pastor Maldonado - the professional racing driver more famous for not being able to drive - is leaving F1.

The 30-year-old Venezuelan clocked up 29 retirements, endless on-track incidents and that memorable 2012 Spanish Grand Prix win in five seasons. So why will we miss him?
He was nicknamed 'Crashtor' by his critics and became a cult figure for, well, just crashing.
In a sport that can sometimes lack drama and excitement, Maldonado was on a one-man mission to reverse F1's image.
Out of 96 grands prix, there were 29 retirements, and he incurred 39 penalties in his colourful F1 career, that's one every 2.4 races and 12 were for causing a collision.
"Woah, what was what?" asked Sauber's Mexican driver Esteban Gutierrez after Maldonado smashed into his car sending it into a barrel-roll at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2014.
Maldonado was given a warning and handed a five-place grid penalty for the next race in China.
Maldonado won the Spanish Grand Prix in 2012 in an unfancied Williams car - beating Ferrari's two-time world champion Fernando Alonso.
Maldonado won a career high 45 points that season, but his maiden win remains the only time he reached the podium.
BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson recalls "that one amazing afternoon in 2012, when the stars aligned and Maldonado won a grand prix.
"How that happened, no-one has ever satisfactorily been able to explain. Some thought it might mark a breakthrough - only for Maldonado to spend the rest of that season routinely bouncing off things as usual."
You're driving a 200mph car, you keep your eyes on the road right? Not if you're Maldonado.
In 2014 during the first practice for the Chinese Grand Prix he veered off the road and nearly crashed after getting distracted making adjustments on his steering wheel.
Mark Webber won't.
Asked in a recent interview who was the worst F1 racer, the Australian former Red Bull driver replied: "Probably Maldonado, he's out of his depth and just shouldn't be there."
The Venezuelan earned his seat with the size of his chequebook, rather than his talent and Andrew Benson says that's a strong reason why his departure "will not be widely mourned".
"He was quite quick. Unpredictable only in so far as you were never quite sure when the next embarrassing cock-up would happen. So wild he became a laughing stock. And, fundamentally, not really good enough."
"They can say whatever they want. I'm here to do my best, and to work," Maldonado told the Telegraph last year.
"When Pastor crashes, it's big news, When the other people crash, there is no news. It's like this.
"To find the limit, you need to cross the limit. I think I have the big balls to cross the limit every time."
So adios Pastor, make sure you come back soon.


Judges have rejected a legal bid to force Scotland's senior law officer to publish guidance over prosecution in cases of assisted suicide.

Gordon Ross, 67, from Glasgow, had degenerative Parkinson's disease and was concerned anyone who helped him end his life would face prosecution.
Mr Ross died in January from pneumonia and other medical issues..
Judges at the Court of Session in Edinburgh said criminal law in Scotland on assisted suicide was clear.
They said it would only be a crime if the act of assistance was the immediate and direct cause of a person's death.
Mr Ross's case was heard by the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Carloway, sitting with Lady Dorrian and Lord Drummond Young.
Delivering the ruling, Scotland's senior judge, Lord Carloway, said: "The criminal law in relation to assisted suicide in Scotland is clear. It is not a crime 'to assist' another to commit suicide.
"However, if a person does something which he knows will cause the death of another person, he will be guilty of homicide if his act is the immediate and direct cause of the person's death."
The judge said the crime may be treated as murder or culpable homicide depending on the individual circumstances of the case.
For example, injecting someone with a lethal substance may amount to homicide.
But when an adult "with full capacity freely and voluntarily consumes a drug with the intention of ending his life", it "breaks the causal link between any act of supply and the death", the judge added.
He said: "In the same way, other acts which do not amount to an immediate and direct cause are not criminal. Such acts, including taking persons to places where they may commit, or seek assistance to commit, suicide, fall firmly on the other side of the line of criminality."
"They do not, in a legal sense, cause the death, even if that death was predicted as the likely outcome of the visit.
"Driving a person of sound mind to a location where he can jump off a cliff, or leap in front of a train, does not constitute a crime.
"The act does not in any real sense amount to an immediate and direct cause of the death," he said.
Lord Carloway added: "There is no difficulty in understanding these concepts in legal terms, even if, as is often the case in many areas of the law, there may be grey areas worthy of debate in unusual circumstances.
"There is no need for the respondent to set these concepts out in offence specific guidelines. They are clearly defined matters of law upon which, if necessary, an individual can seek legal advice."
Lady Dorrian pointed out that it seemed suicide had never been a crime in Scots law, whereas the position had been different in England when it was only decriminalised by legislation in 1961.
Mr Ross, a retired TV producer, was a member of Friends At The End (Fate), an organisation campaigning for a change in the law on assisted dying in Scotland.
He brought his case for a judicial review to the Court of Session in Edinburgh in May last year.
He wanted Scotland's most senior prosecutor, the Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland QC, to set out guidance on what circumstances he would take into account before deciding whether to prosecute somebody who had helped another person end their life.
Similar guidance has been issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions for England.
In a written judgement issued in September, Lord Doherty ruled that the current Crown policy was legal and did not breach the European Convention on Human Rights.
Mr Ross launched an appeal against this decision in December but died the following month.
Reacting to the latest decision, Bob Scott, of Fate, said: "This is a real slap in the face for those who wish to have a choice at the end of their lives and particularly to Gordon who fought long and hard to have the guidelines clarified.
"At the moment anyone helping a friend or loved one, who is suffering intolerably, to die faces a charge of murder or manslaughter."
Dr Peter Bennie, chair of the British Medical Association (BMA) Scotland, said: "While the issues surrounding assisted dying are complex and challenging, it is BMA policy to oppose physician assisted suicide and euthanasia.
"Our focus must be on the provision of resources to ensure that all patients, irrespective of diagnosis, have access to first class palliative care in order to ensure that terminal suffering is properly managed."


Thousands of people gathered at Stonehenge to witness the sunrise on the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Crowds arrived at the Wiltshire landmark before dawn with many others travelling to the Avebury stone circle, which is also in the county.
The winter solstice marks the point when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun.
The solstice occurred at 04:49 GMT, with the sun rising at 08:04.
Senior Druid, King Arthur Pendragon said the solstice celebrates the coming of the new sun.
"This is the dawn we've been waiting for, this is the dawn the ancients cared about so much," he said.
"After this they knew the days were going to get longer and the return of hope and renewal."
The ceremony took place on what may have been the mildest 22 December since records began.
The Met Office said it was "finely balanced", but sunshine in the afternoon could put the heat on the 105-year record for the warmest 22 December.
A spokesman said: "Generally speaking there's been quite a bit of cloud, but if the sun peeps through the clouds in early afternoon, it could just push the temperature up to 16C or something like that."
England Heritage said people travel to Stonehenge because of its alignment with the sun on the winter solstice.
"One of the most important and well-known features of Stonehenge is its alignment on the midwinter sunset-midsummer sunrise solstitial axis," a spokesman for the organisation said.
"The midwinter sun sets between the two upright stones of the great trilithon.
"We do not know which solstice was more important to the users of Stonehenge, but several pieces of evidence suggest that midwinter was very important."
The shortest day of the year often falls on 21 December but this year the druid and pagan community marked the first day of winter on 22 December.
That is because the Gregorian calendar of 365 days a year - with an extra day every four years - does not correspond exactly to the solar year of 365.2422 days.


A mother has given birth to conjoined twins in a part of Syria that has seen some of the war's heaviest fighting.

Nawras and Moaz, who are joined at the chest with protruding intestines, were born in the city of Douma in July.
They have now been safely transferred by ambulance to a children's hospital in nearby Damascus.
Syrian doctors had appealed for help from the World Health Organization, saying the twins would die if they were unable to undergo surgery.
The twins travelled with their mother and aunt and are said to be in good health.
People have have offered their prayers on a Syrian Red Crescent Facebook post, with one saying "God bless you and protect you".
Douma is just north of Damascus and has seen heavy fighting and prolonged shelling since the war began, making it hard for humanitarian aid to reach it.
The local branch of Syrian Arab Red Crescent (one of 82 across the country) however, has continued working in the area and managed in the last 18 months to get supplies through to needy people.
They also provide an ambulance service, general first aid, social support and even food for the residents of the area.
They shared these images on their Twitter and Facebook accounts to raise awareness of the ongoing war in Syria and their appeal to raise funds to continue their work there.

Councillors will reconsider plans to demolish a run-down school in Wrexham after the decision was called in.

The former Groves High School shut in 2003 following a shake-up of secondary school education in the town centre.
Wrexham council's executive board had voted to clear the site in preparation for a new school.
A request by Liberal Democrat councillors to call in the decision has been accepted, the party said.
The decision will be considered by the council's customer and performance scrutiny committee, it added.
