Welsh Secretary David Jones is to be replaced in David Cameron's cabinet following a reshuffle.

After less than two years, the Clwyd West MP was told he will return to the backbenches.
Mr Jones said: "I fully understand. I told the prime minister he has my total support. I am not unhappy. It is right he should refresh his team."
His deputy, Preseli Pembrokeshire MP Stephen Crabb, is expected to replace him.
Mr Jones said anyone appointed to the cabinet knew that one day they would have this sort of conversation with the prime minister.
By David CornockBBC Wales Parliamentary correspondent
David Jones was as cheerful as anyone who had just been sacked could be...
He said he expected the reshuffle to be bigger than anticipated with a lot of departures from government.
The leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, has declined to comment on the departure until a replacement has been officially announced.
Mr Jones succeeded his former Wales Office boss, Cheryl Gillan, in September 2012, and was the 16th secretary of state and the first to have been an AM, having sat in the Welsh assembly from 2002 to 2003.
A Welsh speaker, who lives with his family in Rhos-on-Sea, Mr Jones has always described himself as a "proud Welshman".
Analysis by BBC political correspondent Dan Davies
Shortly after he was appointed as Welsh Secretary, David Jones said the UK and Welsh governments had to work together for the good of Wales.
Did he achieve that ambition?
Whether you blame him or not, the two administrations have had a combustible relationship of late.
There have been furious rows about the state of public services, in particular the NHS.
They have been to the Supreme Court to sort out legal disagreements about the extent of the Welsh assembly's law-making powers.
And there is a bitter and ongoing disagreement about who will pay to upgrade south Wales' railway lines.
Such rows are probably not what David Jones had in mind when he delivered his mission statement about setting aside political differences.
Born in London to Welsh parents in 1952, Mr Jones has lived in north Wales most of his life.
He studied law and as a solicitor worked alongside Ieuan Wyn Jones, who went on to become Plaid Cymru's leader and the deputy first minister.
David Jones became a Conservative Welsh AM in 2002, filling a seat vacated by Rod Richards. He stood down at the following year's elections.
In 2005, he was elected as the MP for Clwyd West. He was a shadow minister for Wales and then a junior minister at the Wales Office, before succeeding Cheryl Gillan as Secretary of State in September 2012.
A Liverpool FC fan, he is an avid user of Twitter - except during Lent, when he abstains from social media.

David Jones pulled no punches when it came to the performance of the Welsh government...
As Welsh Secretary, he threw his weight behind proposals to build a new nuclear power plant at Wylfa on Anglesey, and supported calls to electrify the rail network in north Wales.
Mr Jones voted against UK government legislation on gay marriage and later had to clarify comments he made on the subject in an interview.
He has not always seen eye-to-eye with members of his own party in Cardiff Bay.
On devolving income tax powers to Wales, for example, he had a public disagreement with the Welsh Conservatives' leader in the assembly, Andrew RT Davies.
Before David Jones's departure was confirmed, First Minister Carwyn Jones said he wanted a "businesslike" relationship with the UK government going forward, describing Mr Crabb as "someone we can do business with".


A man who climbed into roof space above a supermarket's women's toilets is being sought by police.

The man walked into the men's toilets at Tesco in Crowborough before climbing into the roof space above.
He then entered the space above the women's toilets, Sussex Police said. He is believed to have entered the store twice, once on Saturday and also on Easter Sunday.
Police have released a CCTV image as part of the voyeurism investigation.
The man is described as white, 6ft 1in (1.85m) tall and in his early 30s.
He is of slim build and was wearing a blue and white striped shirt and dark blue denim jeans, a police spokesman said.


More than 4,500 people have signed a petition calling for a rethink on plans to charge for car parking at a Surrey beauty spot.

Surrey County Council's cabinet voted to charge £1 an hour from next year to park at Newlands Corner near Guildford.
The site is visited by 550,000 people annually but the council wants to spend £400,000 introducing a family play trail and improving the toilets.
The council said it wanted to make countryside sites "self-financing".
The parking charges would pay for the first phase of upgrading work to be completed.
A second phase would involve work to the current cafe and providing shopping and educational space in a new visitor centre.
Richard Harrold, who started the online petition, said it was "utterly unacceptable" to introduce the charges.
Vivianne Norris, from Chilsworth, who signed it, said: "There is no need to change what is already a successful amenity for all, especially for retired or disadvantaged people often with limited means."
Charlotte Haibrock, from Guildford, said: "It's a disgrace to charge people to enjoy nature.  We do not want the place commercialised as proposed."
A spokesman for the council said the cabinet's decision was likely to be "called in" and looked at again by the Economic Prosperity, Environment and Highways Scrutiny Board. No date has yet been set.
"Our ultimate aim is to make countryside sites become self-financing due to the heavy strain on our budgets from falling roads funding and rising demand for adult social care and school places," he said.

A new approach to combating poverty which has been piloted across Wales is effective and saves money from the public purse, Oxfam Cymru has said.

The charity has called on the new Welsh Government to learn from the outcomes of its nine projects across Wales.
Building Livelihoods tackles the nearly one in four households in poverty.
But instead of targeting poorer geographical areas, it looks to provide tailor-made support to individuals and build on their skills and needs.
Official figures show that 23% of households in Wales are living in poverty - counted as having less than 60% median income.
Despite three ministers and one deputy minister tasked with reducing poverty in Wales, the proportion of households living below the threshold remains similar to 1999.
Up until now, Welsh Government policy has focused its attention on the 10% of most deprived communities in Wales.
But Building Livelihoods has targeted the individual rather than a particular area.
Oxfam Cymru claims its nine pilots have saved Â£4.43 from health and social services budgets for each Â£1 spent.
Since 2012, the charity has worked with more than 1,000 people in different parts of Wales.
These range from refugees in Swansea, people with disabilities in Wrexham to young families in Duffryn in Newport.
90
jobs created
93% received intensive support
57% reported new skills and confidence
185% More involved in community
53% Measurably improved their livelihood
Rather than going into a neighbourhood classed as deprived, this approach concentrates on what individuals can achieve and builds on that.
Each person is offered one-on-one help, training and courses.
Some also became mentors to others joining the project.
In all, 90 people involved across the pilots found full-time work and more than 600 said they felt they had more skills and confidence afterwards.
The programme, supported by the Big Lottery and Unilever, has been independently evaluated by economic consultants Arad.
It concluded Oxfam Cymru's approach increased individuals' confidence and well being and made them much more likely to be able to get out of poverty.
It recommends that the approach should be taken on by other service providers.
CASE STUDY- BANWEN, NEATH PORT TALBOT
Banwen is a village in the Dulais valley, bordering the old coalfield and the Brecon Beacons.
There are still some jobs at the Onllwyn washery but the pits have gone and now the area is trying to attract tourism with walks and mountain bike trails.
A third of people in the area are classed as economically inactive - with three times the proportion of people long term sick or disabled than the Wales and England average.
More than a quarter do not have qualifications.
The Dove workshop in this Neath Port Talbot village works with long-term unemployed people.
"This area is one of the forgotten parts of Wales, it's very isolated from other areas," said Oxfam Cymru campaign manager Matthew Hemsley.
"Our approach is very individually focused.
"People's experiences of poverty are all very different and unique. We work with people to give them the individual and intensive support they need. As the challenges are all different, the responses have to be different and work for them."
Oxfam said it is not just looking at what people do not have but what they have - from community and family to education and qualifications so they can "tailor an approach".
Although only 12 jobs have been created by the Dove project so far, Mr Hemsley said they faced tackling issues of long term unemployment, sometimes with poor health or basic education issues in the background.
He said the projects were a step towards transforming people.
"It helps restore people's confidence," he said.
"If you're constantly concentrating on their negatives, people can get stuck in those ruts, so we believe this can make a difference and help people with how they see themselves as individuals."
Tim Ashill is studying English, maths and IT at the Dove.
He now helps out two days a week at a woodworking project making products by up cycling wood - from benches to puppets for schools and nursing homes.
"It's to give me confidence; it's helped with depression, especially the woodwork - it's nice to work with wood, it's peaceful doing it, it's therapeutic. The courses are also there for future employment when the time's right.
"I'd like to do something with the community and whatever work I get I'd like to be doing some kind of community work because by doing this project I've met so many people I wouldn't have met otherwise."


Enrique Pena Nieto has been confirmed as the winner of Mexico's presidential election, following a final recount.

Final results showed that Mr Pena Nieto achieved 38.21%, with second placed Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador 31.59%.
While third-placed Josefina Vazquez Mota admitted defeat, Mr Lopez Obrador said he would challenge the result in Mexico's electoral tribunal.
Accusations of irregularities led to a re-check of about 50% of votes after the result was announced on Monday.
Mr Lopez Obrador, of the left-wing Party of the Democratic Revolution, said the election had been fraudulent and that he would file an appeal next week.
A protests march is planed in Mexico City on Saturday. Mr Lopez Obrador promised to keep protests peaceful and "act responsibly."
Mr Pena Nieto, of the PRI party, told the BBC he had done nothing wrong and said he may sue his opponents over the allegations.
The president of Mexico's electoral body said following the recount there was no reason not to accept the result.
The BBC's Will Grant, in Mexico City, said the election had been a tortuous process, and that Mr Pena Nieto was unlikely to see a quiet acceptance of the result.
Six years ago, after losing the presidential election by a narrow margin, Mr Lopez Obrador led weeks of protests that caused disruption in central areas of Mexico City.
Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute has until early September to address complaints and formally announce a winner in the presidential election.


What do you do when you're the reigning world champion in your beloved sport, are recently-retired and have millions in the bank at the age of 31.

Perhaps you'd be doing much of what Nico Rosberg has been doing and watching a lot of F1!
The German seems to be having trouble letting go of the sport, judging by his regular attendance at events and social media commentary on paddock goings-on.
You are, after all, a long time retired....
Of the perks of being the retired champion, surely not having to participate in pre-season testing is one of them?
For the fans it is the chance to see the new beasts in action, for the drivers it often means lots and lots of driving around, analysing data and time away from home before the season has even started.
Rosberg, though, just could not stay away. He was in Barcelona for the first test...
...and then, come the first race of the season, he was a keen observer.
He settled in for a bit of qualifying for the Australian GP very early in the morning in his Monaco pad...
... and then got the family involved for the race itself.
It's got to be more fun than shopping for baby clothes, mind..
It's not all nights in front of the television and clothes shopping, however.
The German has attended a number of award ceremonies, allowing for the chance to work on his Salt Bae game...
...or the opportunity to star in one of the greatest sporting selfies of all time...
... or to produce artistic photos while he hangs off a rock in Monaco. Naturally...
For Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, the answer is simple.
"No. As the reigning world champion it would have been nice to see him defend his title," Horner told BBC Sport.
"He went to the first test and he is coming to races, why not be behind the wheel if you are making all that effort when you were desperate to leave the sport.
"I can't understand why he chose to jump out but it his decision and you have to respect that."
No, he's not missing F1. Not yet. Although travelling to Spain in February while it is still cold for seemingly no reason is nuts.
But, given Mercedes were beaten to victory in the first race of the season by Ferrari, maybe they are missing Rosberg...

Two new councillors have been elected in a by-election in the City of Edinburgh.

It was the first time the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system had been used to select two members in the same ward in a by-election.
The SNP topped the vote in the Leith Walk by-election, while Scottish Labour won the second seat from the Greens.
The by-election was called after Deidre Brock of the SNP and Maggie Chapman of the Scottish Greens stood down.
The SNP's John Lewis Ritchie topped the Leith Walk poll with 2,290 votes. He was elected at stage one in the STV process with a swing in first-preference votes of 7.6% from Labour.
Labour's Marion Donaldson received 1,623 votes, ahead of Susan Jane Rae of the Scottish Greens on 1,381.
Ms Donaldson was elected at stage 10 of the voting process after other preferences had been considered.
The by-election was called after Ms Brock stood down when she was elected as the SNP MP for Edinburgh North and Leith in May.
Ms Chapman, of the Scottish Greens, resigned from her post to concentrate on standing for the Scottish Parliament in next May's election.
The turnout for the by-election was 25.1%.
The SNP also held the Midlothian West seat on Midlothian Council with a swing of 6.3% from Labour.
The party's Kelly Parry secured 1,540 votes, ahead of Labour's Ian Miller on 945 votes.
The by-election was called after Owen Thompson was elected as SNP MP for the Midlothian constituency.


Ministers have said they will not oppose calls to scrap the so-called "tampon tax" when the issue comes to a vote in the House of Commons.

The government was facing a rebellion from Eurosceptic MPs over the 5% VAT rate on women's sanitary products.
It is at the lowest rate allowed by EU law but rebels unhappy with EU say over tax rates were set to join forces with Labour to insist on VAT being removed.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said it was "another Labour victory" on the Budget.
The government has also conceded ground over the issue of VAT on solar panels and other domestic energy saving and insulation products, amid a threatened Conservative rebellion over a potential tax rise.
VAT is currently charged at the reduced rate of 5% on sanitary products - but more than 300,000 people have signed a petition calling for sanitary items to be exempted from tax altogether.
In Wednesday's Budget, Mr Osborne said he recognised public feelings about the issue and said the EU had agreed to give the UK the leeway under EU law to set a zero rate.
Hailing what he said was a tax concession from Brussels that "no British government has even tried to achieve", he pledged to spend the proceeds of the tax on women's charities.
The government has now confirmed it will not oppose a Labour amendment to the Finance Bill calling for a zero rate of VAT. A number of Conservative MPs had threatened to vote with Labour on Tuesday to highlight the role of Brussels in setting VAT rates.
Some of those say they still intend to do so, arguing they think implementation of the reduced VAT rate will be delayed while all other 27 EU countries agree to the changes.
Labour MP Paula Sheriff, who tabled the amendment, welcomed the news. She tweeted: "Wow, thank you. Happy being the MP for Dewsbury." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn described it as "another Labour victory".
At last week's European Council summit in Brussels, the 28 leaders agreed a statement welcoming "the intention of the Commission to include proposals for increased flexibility for member states with respect to reduced rates of VAT, which will provide the option to member states of  VAT zero-rating sanitary products".
The European Commission has said it is working on two options that would allow member states more flexibility over setting VAT rates and will set out proposals on Wednesday.


Twins claim world record title as the first pair to be born in different countries - nearly 40 years later.

Heidi Gannon was born in Wales and her sister Jo Baines was born in England about two hours afterwards.
Their mum didn't know she was having twins.
A set of twins were born in England and Scotland in 2012 and were thought to be the first to be born in different countries but Heidi and Jo were born much earlier, in 1976.
The family has been in touch with Guinness World Records which has confirmed they will update their records.
A spokesperson said: "We were made aware of Ms Baines and Ms Gannon's claim for this record last week and after some research involving our twins consultant we have been able to verify that they are indeed the first twins born in different countries."


A champagne reception hosted by the DUP at the Conservative Party conference has been hailed as a success and "all good PR" by DUP leader Arlene Foster.

It was the first alcoholic drinks reception the DUP had ever organised at a party conference and it attracted widespread interest on social media.
Under the late Ian Paisley's leadership the DUP had a tee-total reputation.
Mrs Foster brushed off suggestions the event had embarrassed the party, saying she was pleased with the large turnout.
The lunchtime reception was held in an art gallery at the International Conference Centre in Birmingham.
It was packed and it proved so popular there were long queues to get inside.
Mrs Foster was joined at the reception by DUP MPs Nigel Dodds, Gavin Robinson, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, Ian Paisley - the party founder's son - and many party activists.
A number of senior Conservative MPs also attended the event.
The DUP leader told the BBC the event was not originally meant to be billed as a champagne reception but something had been "lost in translation" during the booking.
She said she was pleased with the amount of people who attended and said it "was all good PR".


The Alliance Party leader, David Ford, has predicted his party will gain at least three new seats in the assembly election.

Speaking at the launch of the party's manifesto, in Belfast, Mr Ford said they would return enough MLAs to qualify for a ministerial seat.
But he said they won't take on the role of justice minister without a commitment to reform.
The Alliance manifesto makes five main commitments:
The party also backs the introduction of what it calls "fair" water charges, claiming that to avoid them would mean deeper cuts to public services.
Mr Ford said: "I believe we will certainly win the numbers we need, which will be something like eleven, to guarantee that will be in the D'Hondt lucky dip (to qualify for a ministry)."
The party's deputy leader, Naomi Long,  said they would build on a clear vision of an "inclusive, fair, progressive society, where everyone is treated with respect and with dignity".
She added: "We share the frustration of many in Northern Ireland at the pace of change.
"The assembly has, of course, delivered much and we have been at the forefront of delivering that change.
"However, it would be fair to say that for many their perception of the assembly is something that is much poorer than we would like to see, one that is typified by deadlock , by delay and by division."


Panama has agreed to transfer 3,800 Cubans hoping to reach the United States to a town in northern Mexico.

The Cubans have been stranded in Panama for months, hoping to reach the US under a decades-old law which gives them privileged entry and a fast-track to residency.
Officials in Panama said daily flights to Ciudad Juarez would begin on Monday.
Panama had organised some flights in March but had insisted the operation would not be repeated.
The migrants have been told they have to pay for the flights themselves.
Panamanian newspaper reports said long queues had formed at banks and money transfer shops near government migrant shelters in Chiriqui province as Cubans waited to withdraw cash sent by relatives in the United States to buy their tickets.
Last year Costa Rica and Nicaragua, which lie to the north of Panama, closed their borders to Cubans trying to head north overland.
The move created a new bottleneck in Panama for the migrants who fly to South American countries, and then walk or take buses through Central America north towards the US.
Between January and March, Costa Rica provided flights for thousands of Cubans to El Salvador and Mexico to clear a backlog of migrants who had become stuck by Nicaragua's border closure.
Panama followed suit by organising flights in March to Ciudad Juarez for 1,300 Cubans. Officials at the time insisted the operation would not be repeated.
But since then thousands more have arrived in Panama.
The exodus was prompted by President Obama's announcement in December 2014 that the US and Cuba would move towards restoring diplomatic ties.
It sparked a wave of rumours in Cuba that US immigration policy regarding Cubans would change soon - leading many migrants to risk the journey through Central America.
For decades, Cuban migrants have enjoyed special privileges.
The so-called "wet foot, dry foot" policy allows Cubans preferential treatment when they reach US soil.


Jordan Clark produced career-best List A performances with both bat and ball as Lancashire sent Worcestershire to their first defeat in the One-Day Cup.

An unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 160 in 18.5 overs between Clark (79 not out) and Dane Vilas (100 not out) led the hosts to 313-5 at Old Trafford.
Clark (4-34) then starred with the ball as Worcestershire's middle-order collapsed from 70-2 to 82-6.
They were eventually bowled out for 161 in 34.5 overs and lost by 152 runs.
Worcestershire began one point behind North Group leaders Yorkshire with a game in hand and had looked in a good position when, despite Lancashire opener Karl Brown making 63, the home side were struggling on 153-5.
However, Vilas and Clark lifted Lancashire to an impressive total and not even England all-rounder Moeen Ali could halt the onslaught, ending with 1-75 from his 10 overs.
Clark struck four fours and three sixes, while South African Vilas reached his first century for Lancashire off 83 balls in the final over of the innings.
Opening for the visitors, Moeen was caught behind off the bowling of England team-mate James Anderson for just five and only four Worcestershire batsmen passed 20, Joe Clarke top-scoring with 36.


Football was the bedrock of the relationship between Jim Jefferies and Billy Brown.

They met playing at primary school level and ended up with one of the most enduring and solidly successful managerial partnerships in Scottish football.
From schoolmates at Musselburgh Grammar, through their respective playing careers, they joined forces at Berwick Rangers. Jefferies' appointment as manager at Shielfield Park might have been the end rather than the beginning, since his initial instinct was to appoint another friend, Lindsay Muir, as his assistant.
Muir, a former Hibernian player, was not ready to stop playing, though, and when Brown phoned to congratulate Jefferies and offer help if he ever needed it, a managerial team was established.
There was little time to become accustomed to the demands of the job. Berwick were Scotland's bottom club and needed to be revived. "We went 22 games without defeat," Brown recalls, "and still finished second bottom."
The catalyst for the team's run was John 'Yogi' Hughes. The management team decided to adopt Wimbledon-style tactics, and move the centre-back up front.
"We went to Cowdenbeath and we drew 3-3," Jefferies said. "Yogi got a hat-trick and two centre-halves were taken to hospital.
"We played the league leaders on the Saturday at Berwick and we drew 4-4. The two centre-halves were taken to the hospital there and Yogi scored another hat-trick. He was a hardy boy."
Strong individuals were important to Jefferies and Brown. They were never afraid to take on challenging personalities, as they showed when they moved to Falkirk and signed the likes of Ian McCall and Simon Stainrod, as well as bringing Hughes back to Scotland from Swansea and also capturing Maurice Johnston and Frank McAvennie.
When Hearts came calling in 1995, though, Jefferies could not resist. The job that he took on turned out to be one of drastic rebuilding, although he understood that was required.
"The players had a terrific career at Hearts, but in 10 years they had five managers, good managers, people who had been successful," Jefferies said.
"It needed someone strong enough to go in and change it."
Hearts fell to the bottom of the league following a defeat at Falkirk - a result gleefully celebrated by the home support - and Jefferies and Brown, standing in the toilet off the away dressing room at Brockville, decided the time was right to blood some of the club's promising young players and sign some fresh talent, including French goalkeeper Gilles Rousset and Italian defender Pasquale Bruno.
"I said, 'that's it, I've had enough, I'm going to make changes'," Jefferies said.
"[The young players] had five years of winning the reserve league twice and winning the reserve cup. I said, 'let's see if they're good enough or not', and we never looked back."
The mood at the club instantly changed and Hearts ended the season fourth in the league and in the Scottish Cup final, which they lost 5-1 to Rangers.
The progress continued, although there was another defeat by Rangers in the Scottish League Cup final. Those defeats, and a series in the league the following season, all contributed to Jefferies and Brown's greatest triumph, though - the 1998 Scottish Cup final against the Ibrox side.
"I gave [the players] a fact: we'd played Rangers four times in the league and had a lot of plaudits for the way we'd played but they'd scored 13 goals against us in four matches," Jefferies said.
"So we needed to change the way we played. Our plan was to let them attack us."
A defensive mindset turned out to be ideal. Hearts scored in the opening two minutes and went on to lift the cup, sparking memorable scenes of celebration back in Edinburgh that night and the following day when the team paraded the trophy in an open-top bus.
"When I got up the next morning I was pretty rough," Jefferies said. "So when I came down, [the hotel had] a little shop and I said, 'you've not got a Resolve have you'?
"This was about half-eight in the morning, and they said, 'no, but Boots in Shandwick Place is open'.
"The place was dead, nobody about, then one person coming along the road, head down.
"He'd be about in his 60s or something, long coat on, long scarf, and I said, 'you've had a good night then'.
"He just half-looked up and said, 'have I had a good night? God bless that Jim Jefferies'. And he walked past me."
There was a frustrating spell at Bradford, seven-and-a-half mostly happy years at Kilmarnock, then a second spell at Tynecastle.
Their careers were underpinned by a sense of sound management and team building, even if their ferocious presences on the touchline left the impression that every instruction was hollered in anger.
"Everybody just thinks we shouted all the time," Brown said. "We did it for a purpose, not just because we had lost the rag.
"Every day I worked with Jim was a pleasure. Jim was one of the best man-managers you could meet.
"I did my part at the club and he did his. I regret not one single day, and I miss it like anything."


President Donald Trump's announcement that the US is withdrawing from the 2015 Paris climate agreement has drawn strong reaction from supporters and opponents inside America and around the world.

"The nations that remain in the Paris Agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created.  I believe the United States of America should be at the front of the pack.  But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I'm confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we've got."
"I tell you firmly tonight: We will not renegotiate a less ambitious accord. There is no way.  Don't be mistaken on climate; there is no plan B because there is no planet B."
"I would not want to condemn President Trump now, because President Obama took the relevant decision... In my view, it was not necessary to pull out of the Paris agreements... [But] we still have time for this if we work constructively, we have time to agree something. Don't worry - be happy!"
"Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world,"
@elonmusk
"At this moment, when climate change is already causing devastating harm around the world, we do not have the moral right to turn our backs on efforts to preserve this planet for future generations."
"President Trump can turn his back on the world, but the world cannot ignore the very real threat of climate change. This decision is an immoral assault on the public health, safety and security of everyone on this planet. On behalf of the people of New York City, and alongside mayors across the country, I am committing to honour the goals of the Paris agreement with an executive order in the coming days, so our city can remain a home for generations to come."
"The president who promised "America First" has taken a self-destructive step that puts our nation last. This is an unprecedented forfeiture of American leadership which will cost us influence, cost us jobs, and invite other countries to walk away from solving humanity's most existential crisis. It isolates the United States after we had united the world."
"The Paris climate agreement was simply a raw deal for America. Signed by President Obama without Senate ratification, it would have driven up the cost of energy, hitting middle-class and low-income Americans the hardest.
"I commend President Trump for fulfilling his commitment to the American people and withdrawing from this bad deal."
"President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement is a devastating failure of historic proportions. Future generations will look back on President Trump's decision as one of the worst policy moves made in the 21st century because of the huge damage to our economy, our environment and our geopolitical standing."
"I applaud President Trump and his administration for dealing yet another significant blow to the Obama administration's assault on domestic energy production and jobs. President Obama made commitments in this deal based off a costly power plan that we knew at the time was on shaky legal ground. By withdrawing from this unattainable mandate, President Trump has reiterated his commitment to protecting middle class families across the country and workers throughout coal country from higher energy prices and potential job loss."
"Peabody supports the administration's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.  We believe that abiding by the accord, without significant changes, would have substantially impacted the US economy, increased electricity costs and required the power sector to rely on less diverse and more intermittent energy.  Peabody continues to advocate for greater use of technology to meet the world's need for energy security, economic growth and energy solutions through high efficiency low emissions coal-fuelled power plants and research and development funding for carbon capture."
"We support President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement. The previous administration volunteered to meet one of the most stringent goals of any country in the world, while many other countries do far less to reduce their emissions. Meeting President Obama's goal would have led to more regulations, higher energy prices, and dependence on less reliable energy sources."
"The Prime Minister expressed her disappointment with the decision and stressed that the UK remained committed to the Paris Agreement.
"The Paris Agreement provides the right global framework for protecting the prosperity and security of future generations, while keeping energy affordable and secure for our citizens and businesses."
"We need the Paris agreement to protect all of creation. Nothing can and nothing will stop us... To everyone who cares about the future of our planet, I say let's continue on this path together to succeed in protecting Mother Earth."
"The decision by the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change is a major disappointment for global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote global security. It is crucial that the United States remains a leader on environmental issues."
"We are deeply disappointed that the United States federal government has decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Canada is unwavering in our commitment to fight climate change and support clean economic growth."
"Today is a sad day for the global community, as a key partner turns its back on the fight against climate change. The EU deeply regrets the unilateral decision by the Trump administration to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement."
"No matter what decision is made by the White House, cities are honouring their responsibilities to implement the Paris Agreement. There is no alternative for the future of our planet."
"The decision by the Trump Administration to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change is deeply disappointing, especially for the citizens of vulnerable nations throughout the world.
"As incoming President of COP23, I did what I could - along with many leaders around the world - to try to persuade President Trump to remain standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us as, together, we tackle the greatest challenge our planet has ever faced. While the loss of America's leadership is unfortunate, this is a struggle that is far from over."
"Today's decision is not only disappointing but also highly concerning for those of us who live on the front line of climate change.
"The rest of the world remains firmly committed to the Paris Agreement and our own commitment to it, and that of our wider Pacific family, will never waiver."


Singer Lady Gaga has been the victim of a targeted attack on her Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Multiple messages, seemingly from the singer, offered "free iPad2's to each one of you".
Attached links directed more than 100,000 of her followers to a site requesting personal details, possibly as part of a phishing scam.
The 25-year-old, Twitter's most followed user, later tweeted: "Phew. The hacking is over!"
Her Facebook page, which is "liked" by more than 45 million fans, had earlier posted the message: "Lady Gaga's new iPad comes out in 3 days!
"So for the next 72 hours we will be hosting a massive giveaway to all the Mother Monster fans. Sign up and receive your special Lady Gaga edition iPad in time for the Holidays! For contest rules and registration visit the link below."
This was followed later by a tweet saying: "Monsters, I'm giving away FREE ipad2's to each one of you in the spirit of the holidays :)"
The singer often refers to her fans as "monsters", suggesting the hack was specifically targeted at the singer - rather than a more general phishing attack often seen on social networking sites.
Phishing attacks typically trick users into believing they are signing in to a legitimate website, but instead illegally gather personal data which can then be used to gain access to private accounts such as email and banking.
The offending messages have now been removed, but web statistics show more than 100,000 of her fans followed the links.
The Grammy award winner's management would not comment on the attack.
Security researcher Graham Cluley notedthat other artists, such as Nelly Furtado and Maroon 5, seemed to have come under similar targeting.
"It is, of course, particularly important that the administrators of popular Facebook pages - which can have many millions of fans - take security seriously to minimise the possibilities of passing a scam on," Mr Cluley wrote.
"If nothing else, it's not terribly good for the brand to annoy your fans or to put them at risk."


A Rotherham councillor who was convicted of sexually assaulting a colleague has said he will resign.

Andrew Roddison, 41, of Flatts Lane in Treeton, was accused of sexually assaulting a female councillor following a parade in Rotherham in May.
The Labour councillor for the Brinsworth and Catcliffe ward denied the charges, but he was found guilty at Leeds Magistrates' Court.
At the court hearing, he was given an indefinite restraining order.
He was also sentenced to a six-month curfew order, told to pay Â£500 in legal costs and given an Â£85 victim surcharge, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
In a statement, his solicitor Steve Smith said: "Having considered the financial options open to Mr Roddison it has been decided with great reluctance not to appeal.
"His income has been taken from him, and consequently he is resigning his position as a councillor."
Roddison, who was elected as a councillor in May 2011, had "given very good service to the council hitherto", Mr Smith added.
No official letter of resignation had been received from Roddison, said Rotherham Council.
A statement from the council said: "The leader of the council has already written to Councillor Roddison, making it clear that his behaviour has been unacceptable and urging him to stand down from his seat with immediate effect in the best interest of the community and the council."


More than £100m is to be spent on improving Wales' stock of social housing, the Welsh government has announced.

The money will be available for councils and housing associations to improve homes, as well as creating jobs and training opportunities.
There is a five year target for bringing 200,000 social homes up to quality and safety standards.
But Plaid Cymru said there was no "additional money" in the announcement.
Improvement work could include replacing boilers to new kitchens and bathrooms.
More than two thirds of social housing in Wales - nearly 150,000 homes - meet the 2020 quality target.
Housing minister Lesley Griffiths has already signalled her intention to end right to buy in Wales to prevent the loss of local authority housing stock.
Ms Griffiths said: "Investment in people's homes has a far reaching impact - it is vital in improving the nation's health and creating jobs and training opportunities."
She added the Welsh government was also investing more than £400m in affordable homes.
However, Plaid Cymru housing spokesperson Jocelyn Davies said the £100m  cash announced on Tuesday was simply "money that is distributed every year to bring social housing up to standard".


"Tea is like a beautiful woman," says Nirmal Sethia.

"You look for the deep characteristics. There's no need to concentrate on the appearance."
For someone who has worked in the tea industry for more than 50 years, Anglo-Indian businessman Nirmal Sethia has lost none of his passion for the drink.
Now in his 70s, he also still takes tea very seriously. "Tea is life," he says. "Tea is religion, tea is music."
The co-founder and boss of upmarket brand Newby Teas, Mr Sethia's relationship with tea started in London after the end of World War Two.
However, Mr Sethia, the son of a successful third-generation Indian businessman, initially just wanted to have fun in life.
Looking back on his teenage years, he says: "I was a rebel.
"I used to see all the boys smoking in London and wanted some of that. Smoking, and drinking, and girls looked exciting to me, even at 13."
It was then that he told his father that he didn't want to go to school any more.
"I knew that route wasn't for me. I didn't want to do exams, and wanted something more exciting."
A chance encounter one day with someone who worked in a tea supplier led to Mr Sethia becoming an apprentice tea taster for one of the biggest tea merchants in London, something he believes was the hand of God guiding him.
"It was my first lucky break," he says. "Divine intervention I suppose.
"Someone I knew saw me smoking outside the tea offices, and seemed to see something in me. He worked there and introduced me to the boss."
That first encounter on a London street in the late 1950s started a lifelong love affair with tea for Mr Sethia.
He was soon working for one of biggest tea importers in the Republic of Ireland as a buyer in India, tasked with buying tea at auctions in Kolkata (formerly called Calcutta).
His father was impressed with how his son had taken to working in the tea industry, and encouraged him to do more.
So with his dad's support, the young Nirmal Sethia started his own business - Sethia Tea Estates - from the family's home in Kolkata, buying and selling teas from all over the world, for tea merchants the length and breadth of the UK and Republic of Ireland.
By then tea had really taken over his life, and Mr Sethia bought a tea plantation in the north eastern Indian state of Assam.
"I didn't have any money [left over]... I used to sleep on the veranda of one of the buildings in the tea garden and drink tea," he says.
"I taught myself about the different characteristics and subtleties in flavour.
I seemed to have a gift for tasting tea. I was able to distinguish and discern teas from different parts of India and beyond, something that impressed the buyers I met."
Having made a success of his tea business, Mr Sethia's destiny took a different path in 1965 when he started his own company dealing in jute, a vegetable fibre used to make rope and bags.
He says: "My uncle was running the family business, but I didn't think he was doing a very good job of it.
"I thought I could do better. The arrogance of youth, I suppose.
"I went to my father who loved the idea of me thinking I could do better than his brother. The sparkle in his eye assured me I had to make this business a success, which I did."
This new company, N Sethia Group, became Mr Sethia's main interest and over the years has expanded across a number of business sectors, including banking and property.
However, his love of tea remained. Fast forward a few decades, and tea was once again to come knocking at his door.
Mr Sethia says: "My nephews wanted to start a tea business in early 2000."
"They knew I still had contacts in the tea business and asked me for help, something I was willing to give them."
And so Mr Sethia became a co-founder of Newby Teas.
However, the business struggled in its early years, and lost money.
Mr Sethia was going to quit, but his late wife Chitra Devi Sethia persuaded him not to.
He says: "She said one thing to me. If anyone can make it work you can.
"That's when I knew she was right. With her support I could do anything. She was my rock, always there to stop me from falling."
So Mr Sethia knuckled down, and turned around the business.
Today it has a turnover of around $15m a year (Â£10m) a year.
While its teas are for sale in the UK, Russia is its largest market, and it is expanding into the US.
Mr Sethia says he is on a mission to teach people about tea, and struggles to think about the cheap tea that many people drink.
Yet he concedes that Newby's prices - nearly 40 pence per teabag, compared with around 2p for a regular - might be seen by some as too expensive.
Whatever tea you drink, he says you shouldn't add anything to it.
"Tea shouldn't have sugar, or milk, or rose water, or anything else added to it," he says. "The subtle flavours should be obvious.
"You don't slurp tea, you sip it. It's not supposed to be drunk quickly, it's to be savoured and enjoyed."
He adds: "A good cup of tea is like a journey to the heavens. It's there to delight in."


The vice-chair of Labour's general election campaign, Lucy Powell, has denied suggesting Ed Miliband could break his election pledges.

At the weekend, the Labour leader unveiled a stone tablet with the party's key pledges chiselled into it.
Asked on BBC 5 live if carving them in stone made them more believable, Ms Powell said: "I don't think anyone is suggesting that the fact that he's carved them into stone means that he is absolutely not going to break them or anything like that."
She went on to say Mr Miliband "stands by his promises", adding: "It was just another way of highlighting that, which is that he's a guy of principle, of decency, a guy who is tough and he is going to deliver on his promises he set out, unlike some of this opponents."
The 8ft (2.4m) stone was unveiled on Sunday and quickly prompted its own hashtag #EdStone and was mocked by David Cameron and Nick Clegg.
Criticism of the idea was put to Mr Miliband on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday.
But he said: "Our pledges are carved in stone. I think trust is a huge issue in this election - the difference with our pledges is they are not going to expire on 8 May.
"Nick Clegg went into the last election saying he'd cut tuition fees - he trebled them. David Cameron went into the last election, saying 'no ifs no buts - net migration into the tens of thousands' - it's 298,000.
"We're setting out promises - they don't expire on 8 May. They don't disappear."
Mr Miliband said the stone was "to remind the British people, to remind working people in this country that I'm absolutely serious about changing the way this country works".
'SNP chisels'
In response to Ms Powell's 5 live comments, Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said: "Labour know Ed Miliband has no intention of keeping the promises he makes during the election campaign - his sums simply don't add up.
"Â£30,000 worth of limestone doesn't change the fact that Ed Miliband will say one thing and do another.'
"Labour's campaign is crumbling thanks to Ed Miliband and bungling Lucy Powell - they're just not up to the job."
Ms Powell later responded, tweeting: "Honestly Tories and others desperately mis-quoting what I said. Anyone who heard the whole interview knows I said the opposite."
Mr Miliband was later asked in a BBC television interview if he might break his policies even though they were carved into stone.
"No, I'm absolutely clear, we are going to deliver our policies, we are going to deliver our pledges and that is the reason we carved them in stone," he said.
The introduction of a pledge stone had sparked a spate of social media jokes, with Photoshoppers working overtime to turn Mr Miliband into Moses and more than a few comparisons on Sunday with the BBC political comedy-drama The Thick of It.
Mr Clegg also mocked the stone tablet, telling Lib Dem activists in Bermondsey, south London there was "nothing attractive about the instability of a hapless Labour minority administration, regardless of these great gravestones they are apparently going to erect".

The oldest weir on the River Thames has become automated as part of a programme designed to reduce flooding.

The Â£2.8m works to Rushey Weir near Faringdon, Oxfordshire, marked the completion of an Environment Agency project to update weirs on the river following widespread floods in 2007.
Steven Drennan, from consultants Bruton Knowles, called it a "modern flood defence ready for the next 200 years".
The Grade II listed weir was built in 1790 and reconstructed in 1887.
Its paddle and rymer systems were described by the Environment Agency as "outdated" and "heavy and awkward to move", and could cause injury to staff.
They have been upgraded to three automated gates, with a small section of the existing system kept as a heritage feature.
Mr Drennan added: "Contractors have also installed a fish pass channel on neighbouring farmland which... allows migration upstream past the fast-flowing weir of various species of fish."


League Two club Yeovil Town have signed Leicester City goalkeeper Jonny Maddison on a one-year contract.

The former Sunderland trainee, 21, is yet to play a senior first-team match.
He spent two years at Leicester after arriving on a free transfer, having previously played for Crawley and had a loan spell with non-league Leamington.
"Jonny has shown fantastic attitude and is a player with all the capabilities to play first-team football," Yeovil boss Darren Way told the club website.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made a direct appeal to African-American voters, saying "What do you have to lose?"

Mr Trump told a nearly all-white audience in Michigan that black voters "are living in poverty" and their "schools are no good".
He promised to "produce" for African-Americans where Democrats had failed.
"If you keep voting for the same people, you will keep getting exactly the same result," he said.
He said his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, "would rather provide a job to a refugee" than to unemployed black youths, "who have become refugees in their own country".
Mrs Clinton called Mr Trump's remarks "so ignorant it's staggering".
Mr Trump also predicted he would receive 95% of the African-American vote if he went to on to run for a second term in 2020.
President Barack Obama, historically the most popular president among African-Americans in US history, received 93% of the black vote in 2012.
Mr Trump has suffered from dismal support among African-Americans.
Current polls show about 2% of black voters say they will vote for the New York real estate developer.
The Trump campaign relationship with the black voters thus far can be described as rocky at best.
The billionaire businessman has seen strong support among white supremacist groups.
Mr Trump came under heavy criticism after he took days to distance himself from a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan who endorsed him.
On several occasions, African-American protesters have been assaulted by Trump supporters at rallies. A New York Times investigation found supporters frequently use racist language at rallies.
The Friday speech was the third time this week that Mr Trump sought to appeal to African-American voters.
Some analysts say Mr Trump, trailing badly in national polls for weeks, desperately needs to broaden his appeal beyond his base of white working-class voters.
However, many commentators on Twitter were perplexed by Mr Trump's approach in courting these voters.
"This is Trump's SALES PITCH to black voters, ostensibly. Telling us we're dumb, broke suckers who have no jobs is the best he could do," Jamil Smith, a black reporter for MTV News, wrote on Twitter.
Ana Navarro, a Latina Republican strategist, wrote: "Trump's 'Black outreach' so tone-deaf & condescending, his 'Hispanic outreach', (eating a taco bowl), suddenly not that bad & stupid."
Earlier on Friday, Mr Trump announced that Paul Manafort, a seasoned political operative who led his campaign for the past three months, had stepped down.
On Wednesday, Mr Trump promoted pollster Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager and hired conservative media executive Stephen Bannon as his campaign's CEO.
The moves effectively demoted Mr Manafort, whose links to the pro-Russian former Ukrainian government of Viktor Yanukovych have drawn scrutiny in recent days.


European ministers have reached an agreement over a bail-out for the Irish Republic worth about 85bn euros ($113bn; £72bn).

The deal will see 35bn euros go towards propping up the Irish banking system with the remaining 50bn euros to help the government's day-to-day spending.
An average interest rate of 5.8% will be payable on the loans, above the 5.2% paid by Greece for its bail-out.
Irish PM Brian Cowen said it was the "best available deal for Ireland".
It provides "vital time and space to successfully and conclusively address the problems we've been dealing with since the financial crisis began", the prime minister said.
Details of the 85bn euro plan include:
The Irish government has also said that interest payments on all state debt will account for more than 20% of tax revenues in 2014.
The deal does not require the Irish Republic to change its low 12.5% corporation tax.
The rescue package is the second to be approved in the eurozone this year following Greece's bail-out in May.
There had been much negotiating between European ministers over the interest rate the Irish Republic must pay on the loans.

Peston: What the UK is putting in
A report from Irish state broadcaster on Saturday suggested the rate would be set at 6.7%, and the BBC's business editor Robert Peston said that Germany had been pushing for a higher interest rate of about 7% so that any rescue loans would not look like cheap money.
The Irish government had believed it would pay 5%, and the agreed rate of 5.8% is still higher than many in Ireland had hoped for, especially as it is higher than the agreed rate for Greece.
But Mr Cowen said the loans were necessary.
"These loans will provide money that we had already planned to borrow on the international markets. That funding will now be available to Ireland at a cheaper interest rate than if we'd borrowed on those markets," he said.
The details of the IMF and EU bail-out were discussed at a meeting in Brussels.
Ministers had been keen to reach an outline agreement before the financial markets reopen on Monday.
The Irish government applied for aid last Sunday when it conceded the banking crisis was too big for the country.
Eurozone finance ministers' chairman Jean-Claude Juncker said ministers had "unanimously endorsed" the measures.
"Ministers concur with the [European] Commission and the European Central Bank that providing a loan to Ireland is warranted to safeguard financial stability in the euro area and in the European Union as a whole," Mr Juncker said.
The crisis in the Irish Republic has been brought on by the global recession and the almost total collapse of the country's debt-ridden banks.
The rescue programme rests on the Irish Republic meeting three conditions.
Firstly, it must immediately strengthen and overhaul its banking system.
Secondly, it must implement an ambitious fiscal adjustment to reduce its "excessive" deficit by 2015.
Finally, it must introduce growth-enhancing reforms in particular on the labour market.
The EU also agreed the outline of a new European Stability Mechanism for resolving debt crises in the eurozone.
The mechanism should force losses on private investors "only on a case by case basis", and will replace an existing rescue fund which runs out in 2013.
BBC business editor Robert Peston said UK Chancellor George Osborne believes he has won an important concession from other EU countries in return for providing a direct loan of 3.84bn euros (£3.2bn) to Ireland.
Mr Osborne has secured an agreement that the UK will not be part of the new rescue fund for eurozone countries to be launched in 2013, he said.
The announcement on the permanent mechanism may have been rushed through to try to allay concerns about the debt crisis in Europe spreading.
Earlier, French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office "categorically" denied that France was threatened by the crisis in the eurozone.
The comments came as concerns mount that Portugal may also need a bail-out, while fears over Spain, Italy and Belgium also increase.


Israel has approved the construction of 285 new homes at Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, according to the settlement watchdog Peace Now.

A 234-unit nursing home in Elkana, 30 houses in Beit Arye and 20 in Givat Zeev got the go-ahead on Tuesday.
Retrospective permits were also issued for 179 existing homes in Ofarim.
The US said it was "deeply concerned" and warned that settlement expansion posed a "very serious and growing threat" to peace with the Palestinians.
About 570,000 Israelis live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
Peace Now reported that the latest planning decision by the Israeli military-run Civil Administration in the West Bank meant 2,623 housing units at settlements had been approved so far this year. The figure includes 756 illegally-built homes that have been retrospectively "legalised".
A senior US official told the AFP news agency that settlement expansion - as well as continuing demolitions of Palestinian homes - "fundamentally undermines the prospects for a two-state solution and risks entrenching a one-state reality of perpetual occupation and conflict".
"We are particularly troubled by the policy of retroactively approving illegal outposts and unauthorised settlement units," the official said.
"These policies have effectively given the government's green light for the pervasive advancement of settlement activity in a new and potentially unlimited way."
On Tuesday, Israel reacted angrily to similar criticism of its settlement activities by the UN special co-ordinator for the Middle East peace process, Nickolay Mladenov.
"It is difficult to read in these actions a genuine intention to work towards a viable two-state solution. This appears to reinforce a policy, carried out over decades, that has enabled over half a million Israelis to settle in territory that was occupied militarily in 1967," he told the UN Security Council.
A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Mr Mladenov of distorting history.
"Jews have been in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria for thousands of years and their presence there is not an obstacle to peace," David Keyes said, using the biblical names for the West Bank.
There have been numerous rounds of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians since the early 1990s, with the last collapsing in acrimony in 2014.


A special ceremony has been held in the Tunisian resort of Sousse to remember the 38 people killed in an Islamist attack a week ago.

Tunisia's prime minister, diplomats, Tunisians and tourists gathered on the beach to pay their respects.
A one-minute silence was held simultaneously in Sousse and across the UK, home to 30 of those killed.
Authorities say they have uncovered the network behind the attack and are holding eight suspects.
Security has been stepped up at the beach and many people are still devastated by what happened a week ago, says the BBC's Ben Brown in Sousse.
Hotels and beaches are empty as thousands of tourists have already left the country following the attack, he says.
The Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid and the British ambassador Hamish Cowell laid wreaths on the beach.
The Tunis government fears the attack, which jihadist group Islamic State (IS) has claimed, will destroy its tourism industry, the country's biggest foreign currency earner.
Authorities have identified 28-year-old student Seifeddine Rezgui as the gunman who carried out the attack.
They have also deployed 1,377 armed security agents at hotels and on beaches to guarantee the safety of people, AFP reports.
In March, IS killed 22 people at the famous Bardo museum in Tunisia's capital, Tunis.
At the scene: Thomas Fessy, BBC News, Sousse
The Tunisian prime minister and several government ministers came, along with ambassadors from the UK, the US, France, Portugal, Ireland and the Netherlands.
Representatives from Belgium, Canada and Libya also attended the brief commemorative gathering.
They all arrived in silence, lay wreaths of flowers in front of the plaque erected at the scene of the attack, before two trumpets gave a solemn salute.
Dozens of tourists had come to pay their respects too. Most of them attended in their swimsuits and beach towels wrapped around their waist.
The smell of sun cream floating around was a strange reminder of the 38 people who were killed here, most of them lying on sun beds, enjoying some relaxing holiday time.
Dignitaries left without a word while tourists and Tunisians - some of whom were hotel staff - formed a human chain holding hands around the flowers that were laid in the sand throughout the morning.


A consortium of Northern Ireland technology employers is launching a recruitment drive across Europe in an attempt to tackle skills shortages.

Major firms like Deloitte and Citi are continuing to grow their technology operations in Belfast.
Queen's University in Belfast and the Ulster University are producing more IT graduates.
But employers say there are shortages of people with five or more years' experience.
The IT3Sixty consortium is targeting professionals in Madrid, Helsinki, Krakow and Athens.
IT3Sixty includes firms like Liberty IT, Citi, Equiniti ICS, Deloitte, Total Mobile, Iconi, Version 1, Intel and Civica.
Spokeswoman Clair Gheel said that while the the longer-term pipeline of skills "looks quite healthy", there is "an immediate shortage" of experienced professionals.
Some local IT employers have begun to outsource work to overseas locations, such is their difficulty in finding the right staff.


Two men and a six-year-old girl have been injured after a private hire cab and a car collided in Hamilton.

The Vauxhall Vectra cab and the Ford Focus collided on Hamilton Road, near the entrance of Strathclyde Park, at about 20:40 on Thursday.
The cab driver and two passengers were taken to hospital. The driver was later released and the girl was detained overnight. A man, 23, is in a serious condition with head and neck injuries.
The driver of the Focus was uninjured.
PC Stephanie Boyle, of Police Scotland, said: "Inquiries are at an early stage to establish the exact circumstances of the incident and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and witnessed the collision to get in touch."
Police said the 23-year-old male passenger in the cab was taken to Wishaw General Hospital and later transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.


The possibility that the Voyager-1 spacecraft may have left the Solar System is being hotly debated.

Launched in September 1977, the probe was sent initially to study the outer planets, but then just kept on going.
Researchers studying its data say the craft appears now to be in a realm of space beyond the influence of our Sun.
But the US space agency (Nasa), which manages Voyager, says that it regards the probe as still being inside the Solar System.
The mission is currently moving more than 18 billion km from Earth, or 123 times the distance between our planet and the Sun.
By David ShukmanScience editor, BBC News
No human artefact has ever reached so deep into the cosmos.
A measure of the distance travelled is that it takes a staggering 16 hours for Voyager 1's radio messages to arrive on Earth.
Standing in Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California two years ago, I watched as data from the lonely craft flickered across giant screens.
The scientist behind the mission, Ed Stone, talked in adoring terms of the 70s technology that has survived decades of hurtling through space to become mankind's most distant emissary.
Nasa has speculated for years about the actual moment of crossing from our Solar System into the void; and now this may finally have happened.
The next time the craft will come even remotely close to another star? About 40,000 years.
The latest research is published online in the journal Geophysical Research Letters (GRL).
It concerns data the spacecraft has been gathering about changes in its environment which for some time now have suggested it is about to cross over the Solar System's border - the so-called heliopause.
It has been detecting a rise in the number of high-energy particles, or cosmic rays, coming towards it from interstellar space, while at the same time recording a decline in the intensity of energetic particles coming from behind, from our Sun.
A big change occurred on 25 August last year, which the GRL paper's authors say was like a "heliocliff".
"Within just a few days, the heliospheric intensity of trapped radiation decreased, and the cosmic ray intensity went up as you would expect if it exited the heliosphere," explained Prof Bill Webber from New Mexico State University in Las Cruces.
Nasa funded the study but said any assessment that Voyager might be in interstellar space did not reflect the view of everyone working on the project, and Prof Weber acknowledges there is an ongoing debate about the probe's status.
Many researchers would like a long period with the data all pointing in one direction before calling the exit definitive.
"It's outside the normal heliosphere, I would say that," Prof Webber said in a release from the American Geophysical Union, publishers of GRL.
"We're in a new region. And everything we're measuring is different and exciting."
The Voyager project scientist at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Ed Stone, said he wanted to see a reorientation of the magnetic fields around the probe before declaring it to be in interstellar space.  This was a "critical marker", he added. "…that change of direction has not yet been observed."
Voyager-1 was launched on 5 September 1977, and its sister spacecraft, Voyager-2, on 20 August 1977.
The probes' initial goal was to survey the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - a task they completed in 1989.
They were then despatched towards deep space, in the general direction of the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy.
Their plutonium power sources will stop generating electricity in about 10-15 years, at which point their instruments and transmitters will die.
Voyager-1 is on course to approach a star called AC +793888, but it will only get to within two light-years of it and it will be tens of thousands of years before it does so.

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, celebrated for his prolific and often unpredictable compositions, has died aged 81.

The wild child of contemporary music, he delighted in pushing the boundaries to the extent that some of his earlier works were described as unplayable.
But he later became an establishment figure and was appointed as Master of the Queen's Music from 2004 to 2014 - the musical equivalent of poet laureate.
Maxwell Davies, later known simply as Max, was born in Salford on 8 Sep 1934, the son of a factory worker.
He became an authentic musical prodigy as a child. One of his earliest musical experiences was being taken to see a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliers when he was just four. Shortly afterwards he began taking piano lessons.
He was 12 when his first composition was broadcast by the BBC's Children's Hour.  At Leigh Grammar School his interest in music wasn't encouraged, but Davies didn't let that hold him back.
He studied independently, taught himself A-level music and reputedly astonished his examiners by demonstrating that he had memorised not only Beethoven's violin concerto but the composer's symphonies as well.
He duly won places at both the Royal Manchester College of Music and Manchester University, where he teamed up with three other future composers, Harrison Birtwistle, Elgar Howarth and Alexander Goehr.
They were known as "the Manchester School" and set out to frighten the horses.  One of Maxwell Davies's earliest compositions, a String Quartet, was submitted to the Society for the Promotion of New Music but rejected as unplayable.
In due course he became immensely prolific as a composer, and rarely predictable.  Many of his early works were lurid, noisy, brutal and cacophonous.
They were first performed by the Pierrot Players, later renamed Fires of London, an ensemble he founded with Harrison Birtwistle though the pair later fell out.
His music parodied and distorted medieval and Renaissance music or popular dance tunes, especially foxtrots.
In one work a soprano singer dressed in a red nun's habit screamed through a loudhailer.  Another work featured a dancer and a solo cello.
Some people hated them and the composer found the criticism deeply hurtful. Performances of his work were sometimes punctuated by cries of "rubbish" and "shut up" from the audience.
Many walked out of the premiere of Worldes Blis at a BBC Prom in 1969 although Sir Peter had his revenge.  Before the second performance he put it about, "mischievously" he said, that he had revised the work, though in fact he had not.  The critics said how much better the revised version was.
Another controversial early work, Eight Songs for a Mad King, combined monologues spoken, shrieked and gabbled by the mad George III with fragments of Handel's Messiah.
Madness was a frequent theme in his early work, along with religion (or at least the religious music of the past) and the rejection of authority.
Yet these uncompromisingly modern works went hand in hand with something more approachable.
Between 1959 and 1962 Sir Peter was head of music at Cirencester Grammar School, and began writing the first of many works for children.  Throughout his life he remained interested in music education and in composing works for the young.
Some time around 1970 he began to mellow.  He made his first visit to Orkney, where he eventually went to live in 1971, first in a remote cliffside house on the island of Hoy and then on the even more remote island of Sanday.  The islands had a profound effect on his music.
"There is a wonderful soundscape of sea and gull noises and the wind in the heather, which has always stayed with me," he once said.  "I didn't consciously set out to mirror them but they got in there."
" I remember when I was writing the first symphony these extraordinary flute chords came through, and I didn't realise at the time but yes, those were the seagulls that I was hearing all the time."
He discovered the work of the Orcadian poet and novelist George Mackay Brown.  Soon he was writing a series of symphonies, incorporating Scottish tunes in his works, setting Mackay Brown's poems to music and developing one of the author's novels into an opera.
He established long-term relationships as composer and conductor with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic, writing many pieces with individual players in mind.
And while some of his work was as jagged as ever much of it became more conventionally melodic and so more popular.
This more approachable music included his scores for two films directed by Ken Russell, The Devils and The Boyfriend, in 1971,  the Violin Concerto of 1985, and one of his best-known works, An Orkney Wedding with Sunrise, which features Scottish and Orcadian folk tunes and bagpipes and was written in 1985.
His most frequently-heard piece is probably Farewell to Stromness, a haunting lament for solo piano which is part of a musical "protest work", The Yellowcake Revue, first performed in 1980 when a uranium mine was planned in Orkney.
In all he wrote ten symphonies, several operas (including Taverner, Resurrection, The Lighthouse and The Doctor of Myddfai as well as The Martyrdom of St Magnus), two full-length ballets (Salome and Caroline Mathilde), 14 concertos and a cycle of string quartets.
There were religious and semi-religious works like Ave Maris Stella and a setting of the Roman Catholic Mass for Westminster Cathedral, many of which use the medieval plainchant which had fascinated Sir Peter since his student days.
And there were several lighter works like Mavis in Las Vegas, inspired by his visit to the city and his detestation of the commercialisation of modern society.
In 1986 he was knighted and in 2004 he was appointed Master of the Queen's Music.
In 2008 his financial affairs made the news when his long standing business managers, Michael and Judith Arnold, were charged with stealing almost Â£450,000 from him over a period of more than 15 years.
Critics did not always like much of the music Peter Maxwell Davies wrote after 1970, decrying it as unadventurous and "safe".  He claimed the criticism did not worry him.
"I have been criticised a lot for writing in different styles and different kinds of music," he said.  "I've been called a prostitute.  Fine.  In that case, so was Mozart."
He used to say he felt driven to compose, however difficult his music sometimes was to listen to.  "When you have a creative urge, you can't stop writing," he told the Guardian.
"I feel that I want to tell people how it is to be PMD, and I do hope my music reflects something of the spiritual values and helps people to understand their own musicality, their own spiritual development, and that it means something to people's spiritual lives.
"This is terribly important to me.  I would hate not to have my pieces played.  I would hate not to be able to communicate: it's a love of people, I think, as basic as that."
And to the question, did he know who he was? he replied: "Every piece of music that I write, whatever its style, is a step on the way to finding out.  No, I don't know, but when I've written the next quartet or the next choral piece or whatever it is I'll be that much closer to finding out."
"And I hope in a way that I can never give you an answer in words, because I might stop writing music."


Evidence that Australia's Great Barrier Reef is experiencing its worst coral bleaching on record has renewed calls for the UN to list it as "in-danger".

The National Coral Bleaching Taskforce says 95% of reefs from Cairns to Papua New Guinea are now severely bleached.
It says only four reefs out of 520 have no evidence of bleaching.
Unesco voted not to put the reef on its World Heritage in Danger list last year, but green groups want the decision reassessed.
Coral taskforce convener Prof Terry Hughes told the BBC his team was yet to find the southern border where the bleaching ended.
"Tomorrow we will continue further south from Cairns to Townsville about 400km (250 miles) and spend the day scoring another 150 reefs," he said.
Experts say it is too early to tell whether the corals will recover, but scientists "in the water" are already reporting up to 50% mortality of bleached corals.
Climate change and the effects of El Nino are being blamed for the rise in sea temperatures that causes coral bleaching.
"What we're seeing now is unequivocally to do with climate change," Prof Justin Martin University of Queensland told the ABC.
"[At] the Paris climate change meeting, essentially the whole world has agreed this is climate change, and we're seeing climate change play out across our reefs".
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) spokesperson Nick Heath said the unspoiled northern section of the reef had acted as a vital bank of genetic material to reseed areas further to the south.
"We have been working to save the reef in [recent] years, and we always took for granted that we had the bank in the northern quarter that was safe, and seemed resilient in previous bleaching episodes, but now it's cooked to an inch of its life," Mr Heath told the BBC.
The Department of the Environment said state and federal governments were investing a projected A$2bn ($1.5bn; Â£1bn) over the next decade to protect the reef.


Sheffield United were crowned League One champions as 10-man Oldham beat second-placed Bolton thanks to Lee Erwin's second-half goal.

Wanderers' own promotion bid is faltering after back-to-back losses, though they still hold a four-point lead over third-placed Fleetwood.
The home side created the first chance as Erwin beat two defenders before pulling his shot a yard off target.
Darren Pratley twice fired over for Bolton in a dour opening half which was dominated by well-drilled defences.
Oldham almost scored when visiting goalkeeper Mark Howard palmed out Peter Clarke's shot before also saving from Paul Green, but they went down to 10 men in the 64th minute as striker Michael Ngoo picked up his second yellow card for a foul on Dean Moxey.
Despite his dismissal, the Latics broke through after 76 minutes when Howard parried a low cross against team-mate Jay Spearing and Erwin helped the ball over the line for his 10th goal of the season.
Bolton were denied when Dorian Dervite's effort was cleared off the line by Ryan McLaughlin, while Adam Le Fondre and Chris Long both hit the crossbar in a frantic finish.
Oldham's win saw them move six points above the relegation zone.

The PMDB, the largest party in Brazil's ruling coalition, has voted for an "immediate exit" from President Dilma Rousseff's government.

The move could hasten impeachment proceedings against President Rousseff, correspondents say.
Opposition lawmakers want to remove Ms Rousseff over claims she manipulated accounts to hide a growing deficit.
Following Tuesday's vote, the embattled president cancelled a trip to attend a summit in Washington this week.
At its leadership meeting on Tuesday, the PMDB [Brazilian Democratic Movement Party] decided that its six remaining ministers in President Rousseff's cabinet must resign or face ethics proceedings.
Brazil tumbles like 'House of Cards'
Rousseff faces perfect storm
Brazil's bigger threats
What's gone wrong?
"The decision was taken by acclaim in a historical meeting marking the withdrawal from Dilma (Rousseff's) government," Senator Romero Juca tweeted [in Portuguese].
The announcement came a day after tourism minister Henrique Eduardo Alves from the PMDB stood down.
The BBC's Laura Bicker in Sao Paulo says President Rousseff could now be temporarily suspended from office by Congress as early as May.
She would be replaced by Vice-President Michel Temer, leader of the PMDB, while the Senate decides if she should permanently leave her post, our correspondent adds.
Speaking before the vote, Osmar Terra, a lawmaker from the PMDB, said he had little doubt which way it would go.
"It will be a goodbye to the government," he said.
Analysts say a considerable number of lawmakers from the PMDB have felt uneasy about their alliance with the left-wing Workers' Party for a while.
The impeachment process centres on the question of whether Dilma Rousseff used illegal accounting manoeuvres or not.
But in practical terms, MPs and senators are looking mostly on whether she has the strength and legitimacy to rule Brazil, as the country faces a severe economic crisis as well as a political one.
The PMDB was the first major coalition partner to jump ship. It is also the group that has most to gain should Ms Rousseff be impeached. Mr Temer has reportedly been talking to opposition leaders and working on forming a cabinet.
But despite her weakened stance, Ms Rousseff and her Workers' Party still have support from many in Congress and in the streets. There will be a lot to play for in the coming days.
Critical month for Rousseff
Their unease has been compounded by calls for Ms Rousseff's impeachment and a widening corruption scandal involving senior members in the Workers' Party.
The president needs one third of the members of the lower house of Congress to vote against her impeachment for the proceedings to be shelved.
Without the PMDB, she could lose as many as 69 votes at once in the 513-member Chamber of Deputies.
Another of Ms Rousseff's coalition partners, the centre-left Social Democratic Party (PSD) said it had given its lawmakers a free vote in any possible impeachment proceedings.
On Monday, Ms Rousseff's mentor and predecessor in office, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, likened the moves to impeach her to a coup.
But Lula himself is under pressure.
The Supreme Court suspended his appointment as Ms Rousseff's chief of staff earlier this month and is due to take a final decision on the matter next week.
Opponents of the government said the president had given Lula the post so he could escape investigation and possible proceedings over allegations of money laundering.
Under Brazilian law, cabinet members can only be investigated by the Supreme Court, not by lower courts.
There have been mass protests demanding the impeachment of President Rousseff in cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
But there have also been rallies in support of the government by those who say the president is the victim of a campaign to drive the Workers' Party from government.


England coach Stuart Lancaster has added Exeter Chiefs trio Dave Ewers, Henry Slade and Thomas Waldrom to his squad for the autumn internationals.

Lancaster has called up a total of nine additional players in case of injuries.
Northampton pair Ben Foden and Alex Waller are included along with Bath duo Henry Thomas and Anthony Watson.
Matt Kvesic (Gloucester) and Richard Wigglesworth (Saracens) are also in the 41-man party for the matches, which begin with New Zealand on 8 November.
Tom Wood has remained in Northampton with his wife pending the birth of their third child and will join the squad later in the week.
Lancaster said: "We always anticipated bringing in additional players following the European games, either to cover injuries or for training.
"Injuries are inevitable but we are excited about the group we have in camp. We are raring to go and looking forward to getting out on the training pitch."
Billy Vunipola was concussed in Saracens' Champions Cup defeat by Munster on Friday and will follow return-to-play protocols in training over the next week.
Luther Burrell was also withdrawn shortly after half-time of Northampton's victory over the Ospreys with an injury to his right hand.
He is to remain at Saints rather than join up with England's squad at Pennyhill Park with the extent of the damage expected to be known by midweek.
James Haskell continues to be monitored after a virus resulted in his hospitalisation 10 days ago, forcing him to miss Wasps' last two games.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Luther will be assessed by a specialist over the next 48 hours and our medics are in close contact with Saints so we'll know more in a few days, but it's great to be able to bring in Henry," Lancaster added.
England captain Chris Robshaw says his team-mates will not struggle to motivate themselves for the matches.
"The guys can't wait - the best teams in the world are coming into town, and that's who you want to play, especially at Twickenham," he said.
On being reappointed captain Robshaw added: "It's always a huge honour, something you grab with both hands, and something you are extremely privileged to be doing.
"But it wouldn't be the same if I didn't have the great support around me, the great leaders around me who help me - the character of the squad is second to none."

An 89-year-old Gloucestershire man has been honoured for his efforts in the World War II Arctic convoys.

Canon Bill Brassell from Gloucester served in the Royal Navy in the 1940s, and battled storms, bombers and U-boats to ferry war supplies to Russia.
He has been awarded the Arctic Star medal for the maritime missions, which Winston Churchill said were the most dangerous of the war.
"I'm very, very grateful to receive this," he told the BBC.
"It's only 70 years I suppose, and at last it's happened. Not just because it's a nice thing for me, but because of all those who served with me and they paid the supreme sacrifice.
"Of all the bits that one served during the war, this was the effort that was made by so many.
"I take it [medal] very much in memory of all those who didn't come back, all my shipmates, and that's something that I will very much treasure".
The medal presentation took place at the headquarters of Gloucester-based A Company 6 Rifles.
In 2005, an Arctic badge was awarded to the veterans of the convoys but they felt that it did not go far enough.
They lobbied the government for a specific medal to recognise the service of those involved in the mission.
The Arctic Star medal was created this year.
"This is a medal that we've introduced to honour those people who served on the Arctic convoys in World War II," said Conservative MP Mark Francois, the minister of state for defence personnel, welfare and veterans.
"I'm privileged to present this to Canon Brassell."
The Arctic convoys brought crucial supplies and weapons to Russia, to help fight off Hitler's armies.
The icy voyages claimed over 3,000 lives and Winston Churchill described them as the worst journey in the world.
The supply ships were under constant threat of attack by German U-boats and aircraft and also had to negotiate severe cold, storms, and ice floes.
The voyages began in 1941 and by May 1945, the Arctic route had claimed 104 merchant ships and 16 military vessels.


Part of a giant platypus fossil has been unearthed in Queensland, Australia.

Scientists have dubbed the beast "platypus-zilla" and believe it would have measured more than 1m long (3ft).
Writing in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, the researchers say the creature lived between five and 15 million years ago.
The discovery suggests the evolutionary back-story of today's platypus is more complicated than was thought.
Prof Mike Archer, from the University of New South Wales, said: "Suddenly up pops 'playtpus-zilla' - this gigantic monstrosity that you would have been afraid to swim with.
"It indicates there are branches in the platypus family tree that we hadn't suspected before."
Today, all that survives of this platypus is a single fossilised tooth, which was unearthed in the Riversleigh fossil beds in northwest Queensland.
Based on its size, the researchers have estimated that the new species (Obdurodon tharalkooschild) would have been at least twice as large as today's platypus.
Bumps on its teeth and other fossil finds nearby suggest that the creature feasted on crustaceans, turtles, frogs and fish.
Although the area where the molar was found is a desert, millions of years ago it would have been covered in forest. The researchers think the beast would have spent its time in and around freshwater ponds.
Prof Archer said that with just one tooth, it was difficult to work out exactly what this species would have looked like.
However other fossils suggest that it could have shared the same bizarre appearance as today's platypuses, with their duck-like bills, large webbed feet and poisonous spurs. But this would have been on a much larger scale.
"I guess it probably would have looked like a platypus on steroids," said Prof Archer.
Fossil platypus finds are in short supply, with just a few fragments found throughout the southern hemisphere.
As a result, there are many gaps in our understanding of the creature's past.
Prof Archer said: "We have been naively led to suspect that maybe it was just one lineage of strange animals bumbling its way through time and space at least for the last 60 million years.
"The discovery of this new one was a bit of a shock to us. It was a wake-up call that the platypus's story, the more we know about it, is increasingly more complicated than we thought."
The researchers are now hoping to find more platypus fossils in the same area to try to shed more light these enigmatic Australian animals.

A police crackdown on drivers under the influence of drink and drugs is launched on Friday to coincide with the start of the Euro 2016 football finals.

Officers expect to stop thousands of motorists in Wales as part of the campaign which runs until 10 July.
Meanwhile, Welsh castles and landmarks are being illuminated red from Friday to mark Wales playing in their first major tournament for 58 years.
Wales' first game is on Saturday against Slovakia in Bordeaux.
About 24,000 Welsh fans have tickets for the game.
A Cardiff fanzone with a giant screen for supporters to watch Wales compete will be set up in the city's Bute Park for 6,000 fans.
Swansea council announced last week fans would be able to watch matches on the big screen in Castle Square.
And people across Wales are expected to host their own parties to watch the games which include a match between Wales and England next Thursday.
Dyfed Powys Police Assistant Chief Constable Pam Kelly advised people to plan ahead, saying there was "no excuse" to drive under the influence.
She said: "We absolutely want people to have a great time and to support Wales.
"But there's a really important message that we want people to remember and that is that during the next two months, all four Welsh forces are going to be committed to the summer anti drink and drug campaign.
"What am I asking people to do is make a choice; they should either drink or drive, they should never do both."
During a similar safety campaign in Wales in 2015, more than 12,000 breath tests were carried out with almost 8,000 people arrested for drug driving in England and Wales last year.
Supt Andrew Morgan, Wales commander for the British Transport Police, told BBC Wales that his force was "not going to over-egg the pudding" but added they would crack down on anti-social behaviour.
"We have a very low tolerance threshold for people that overstep the mark. Passengers and staff deserve that."
The Welsh Government has announced it is lighting up landmarks across Wales, including Cardiff's Millennium Centre and the Senedd.
Welsh castles being lit up include Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Caerphilly, Conwy, Criccieth, Denbigh, Harlech, Kidwelly and Llansteffan.
The lights will stay on throughout the group stages and for as long as Wales remains in the tournament.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said: "This is a fantastic time to be a Welsh football fan.
"The European Championships is one of the world's highest profile sporting events, attracting almost two billion global viewers and we are so proud that Wales is finally part of it."


A 26-year-old woman has died after her car was involved in a collision with a Ford Transit pick-up on the A1 near Dunbar in East Lothian.

It happened on the northbound carriageway at about 07:50.
The 54-year-old man driving the pick-up was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. His injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
The road was closed in both directions while investigations were carried out. Police have appealed for witnesses.
The woman was driving a Kia Cerato.
Sgt Gary Taylor from Police Scotland said: "Sadly, a young woman has lost her life as a result of this collision and our thoughts are with her family and loved ones at this difficult time.
"I'd urge anyone who was travelling in the area and who witnessed this incident or the movements of either vehicle prior to the collision to contact police immediately if they haven't already done so."
