Sir Peter Bazalgette, the man credited with bringing Big Brother to Britain, has been appointed as chairman of ITV.

He replaces Archie Norman, who has chaired the broadcaster since January 2010.
The former Endemol UK chairman is already a non-executive director at ITV and will take over from Mr Norman on 12 May.
In January, Sir Peter said he would step down as chairman of the Arts Council England in 2017.
The announcement sparked speculation that he may move to ITV after the FTSE 100 company said last month that Mr Norman would be leaving.
Sir Peter is also president of the Royal Television Society and has enjoyed a long career in broadcasting.
He began as a researcher on That's Life in the 1970s before establishing his own production company that was responsible for programmes including Ready Steady Cook and Ground Force. It was later sold to Endemol.
While at Endemol, Sir Peter brought the formats including Big Brother and Deal or No Deal to UK vierwers. He stepped down as its UK chairman in 2007.
Sir Peter said: "ITV has gone through a remarkable resurgence during Archie's chairmanship and there is still so much more that we can achieve.
"This is an incredibly exciting time for everyone in the media sector with change happening at an unprecedented rate, and I'm absolutely delighted to be working with Adam [Crozier] and the management team. TV is my first love."
Mr Norman said: "The last six years has been undoubtedly challenging but also extremely rewarding and enjoyable, and an experience I would not have missed for the world."
Shares in ITV fell 0.7% to 241.9p in morning trading in London. The stock has risen 180% over the past five years following Mr Crozier's appointment as chief executive.


Israel secretly imprisoned an Australian man who worked for its Mossad spy agency because it believed he had divulged details of his work, an Australian news programme has reported.

ABC News said Ben Zygier was suspected by Israel of informing Australia's security agency of Mossad operations.
Last week, ABC identified Mr Zygier as Israel's so-called Prisoner X, whose existence Israel never acknowledged.
He was reported to have hanged himself, months after his case surfaced in 2010.
The report on ABC's Foreign Correspondent programme, which named Mr Zygier, has been the subject of intense media debate in Israel, after Israel issued a gagging order preventing publication of details of the story.
Restrictions were later eased and some Israeli members of parliament have called for an end to the practise of media censorship in the country.
According to the latest Foreign Correspondent report, Mr Zygier met Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (Asio) agents and told them about secret operations he was involved in.
The programme said one of the operations was a top-secret mission in Italy, for where Mr Zygier had applied for a work visa.
Foreign Correspondent said Mr Zygier changed his name several times and obtained numerous passports, which he used for Mossad work in Europe and the Middle East.
It said he set up a communications company in Europe for Mossad, which exported electronic components to Arab countries and Iran.
Israel, along with Western and other powers, has accused Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies.
The ABC programme said Mossad discovered that Mr Zygier had had contact with the Asio agents during one of his stays in Australia.
He is believed to have been arrested in 2010 and held in secret in Israel's maximum security Ayalon prison. His case came to light when an Israeli newspaper website broke the story that year, but the reports were removed after a gagging order was imposed.
Mr Zygier is reported to have hanged himself, aged 34, in the prison in December 2010.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the necessity of keeping some information out of the public domain.
"We are not like all other countries,'' he said. "We are more threatened, more challenged, and therefore we have to ensure the proper activity of our security forces.''
"Allow the security forces to work quietly so we can continue to live securely and safely," he added.


A man with a sleep disorder who knocked over a cyclist causing him fatal injuries, was warned by a medic the day before not to drive, a court has heard.

Neil Urwin who suffers from obstructive sleep apnoea, "should not have been on the road" when he struck Andy Charlton in Northumberland on 9 August 2014.
The experienced cyclist, 43, from North Shields, suffered "catastrophic brain injuries" and died in hospital.
Newcastle Crown Court heard Mr Urwin's condition was interrupting his sleep.
The 56-year-old fork lift truck driver, from East Acres, Barrasford, sought advice from his GP months before the collision due to his night-time breathing from his sleep apnoea waking him up.
A specialist at the sleep clinic at Hexham General Hospital on 8 August, the day before the crash, told him he should not drive, the court heard.
The jury heard Mr Urwin was driving his Ford Fiesta on a straight section of the A6079 near Chollerford at 50-55mph when he hit the back of Mr Charlton's bike, sending him onto the bonnet, hitting the windscreen and over the back of the car.
Richard Bennett, prosecuting, said: "He should not have been on the road at all... the defendant was dangerously close for no good reason."
The section of the road gave the driver a 327m unrestricted view before the point of impact, and there were no skid marks on the road or signs of emergency braking before the crash, the court heard.
Mr Urwin told police he saw Mr Charlton two to three car lengths ahead of him. He could not explain why he had not spotted him before that moment, the court heard.
Mr Urwin has admitted causing death by careless driving but denies a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
The trial continues.


Anne Enright, the Irish Fiction Laureate, has won the Independent Bookshop Week award voted for by independent booksellers.

Her novel The Green Road won in the adult fiction category, beating works by Bill Bryson and Kate Atkinson.
Enright said it was "such an honour to be selected for this award by my favourite people - booksellers".
The author also took the opportunity to praise independent bookshops, saying: "Long may they remain."
"Four or five years ago, we were all in a panic that the internet would eat booksellers and paper. But they've battled on and they're starting to flourish," she said, speaking ahead of Independent Bookshop Week.
The Green Road will now be entered into a "best of the best" competition, which will pit previous winners of the award - from Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall to Sarah Waters' The Paying Guests - against each other in a public vote.
'Tastes and passions'
Official figures for the number of UK independent bookshops show they fell by 3% last year to 894, down on the previous year.
However, Meryl Halls, head of membership services at the Booksellers Association, said the mood had been "cautiously optimistic" in the sector for the last two years, and that shops "are starting to feel properly confident now".
Independent Bookshop Week, which begins on Friday, is a seven-day celebration of independent retailers and will see events taking place across the UK and Ireland.
"I am a big fan of independent bookshops," said Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson. "I like the way each have their own character... with stock reflecting the tastes and passions of their owners and customers."
Other winners at this year's awards include Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre's victory in the children's category for Pugs of the Frozen North, while the best picture book was won by Stanley the Amazing Knitting Cat by Emily MacKenzie.


Imagine a world in which Sir Alex Ferguson never became an Old Trafford legend?

Or one where Arsene Wenger was released by Arsenal before people stopped asking "Arsene who?"
This all could have been a reality had managers been hired on only six-month deals. According to Barcelona boss Luis Enrique it would make financial sense for clubs to offer short-term deals, thereby avoiding the need for massive pay-offs for sacked managers.
So if we were to judge managers purely after a six-month stint, would football really look that different?
It famously took Ferguson a while to get going at Manchester United. Surely he wouldn't have got a new deal with a win percentage of 42.9% after his first six months.
By the time his trophy-laden dynasty was at an end, that winning record had risen to 60.4%. Maybe a youthful Louis van Gaal would have arrived at Old Trafford earlier in his career, and David Moyes would definitely have known he was on the clock.
Likewise with Wenger, his current win stats after 20 seasons at the Gunners is 57.7%.
But roll back to the Frenchman's first six months and a 45.5% win percentage might mean there would be a very different Arsenal in 2016.
And if the urban legend of the Premier League is correct, players would still be eating steak and chips 10 minutes before games and drinking all week between matches.
Tim Sherwood still England's best young manager?
The former White Hart Lane midfielder found himself in the hot-seat after Andre Villas-Boas was given the boot. He was handed a 18-month contract in December 2013, but was eventually sacked in May 2014.
But why? The club finished sixth and qualified for the Europa League. And Sherwood had managed a top-flight win percentage of 59% - the best of any Tottenham boss in Premier League history.
Former England defender Paul Parker recently said Sherwood should take over from Louis van Gaal at Manchester United until the end of the season.
Parker must have read February's interview when the 47-year-old stated he wanted to be a pioneer for English managers, rather than look at Sherwood's 29.1% win percentage at Aston Villa.
Chelsea's recent record might be exactly the same, except for maybe a third and fourth stint for serial title winner Jose Mourinho. And 15 trophies while changing the man in charge 10 times suggests they might be on to something.
Roman Abramovich's current short-term Mr Fix-it Guus Hiddink has an impressive six-month win percentage of 66.7% covering two stints at Chelsea. And with an FA Cup in the bag in his first spell, it's a wonder he hasn't been given longer deals.
Perhaps Chelsea are always trying to re-create those heady first six months of Mourinho. His 78.3% win percentage at the start of his first Stamford Bridge spell blitzes anyone else on our list. But by the time his second spell ended in acrimony his total win percentage was down to 52.2%.
While Roberto Di Matteo won 61.1% of his league games in his first six months, it was the FA Cup and Champions League double that makes him arguably one of the most successful managers in the club's history.
Then there's Rafael Benitez. Called an 'interim' by his own club and lukewarm Blues supporters, he also brought Europa League silverware in his short spell at the club, but had only enjoyed a win percentage of 57.7% by the end of his turbulent tenure.
Enrique's comments would appear to be only a slight exaggeration on the Madrid model, where Benitez found to his cost that even a 61.1% win percentage isn't enough if you get spanked 4-0 by your arch-rivals in your first few months.
But expectations are notoriously high at a club which has parted company with eight coaches in 10 years.
Maybe former Liverpool manager Benitez will enjoy more success at Newcastle - another side looking for the instant impact of a new gaffer. Although he has a relegation break clause should the worst happen...
Unfashionable managers still unfashionable
Everybody loves Pep Guardiola, right? The incoming Manchester City boss loves a good three-year project at a big club, guarantees trophies and plays beautiful football while doing it.
But if managers had to be judged by instant impact, would Sam Allardyce and Harry Redknapp finally get the wider recognition they both claim to deserve?
Sunderland manager Allardyce is regarded as the man to parachute into a crisis-club and get a quick response.
Yet the stats show that only at West Ham - playing in the Championship - was his win percentage higher than 50% in the first six months.
Maybe Iain Dowie, who famously steered Crystal Palace from 19th in the Championship to the Premier League in six months, would still be in vogue. Or would Tony Pulis be managing Barcelona and Neil Warnock in charge of the national side?
Maybe not.

A £13m Robin Hood attraction in Nottinghamshire will go ahead, despite delays, the company behind the scheme has promised.

Concerns have been raised about the scheme to build a new medieval-themed park in Sherwood Forest.
But Discovery Attractions, the company behind the venture, said the attraction will open in 2015, as planned.
On Thursday, a bid to create a Robin Hood attraction at Nottingham Castle was rejected for lottery funding.
Rob Gray, marketing director for Discovery Attractions, said the park, named Discover Robin Hood, was the company's first such project.
It will include a medieval-style village fair, a wildlife dome, an open-air theatre, a torture chamber, a 4D show and an adventure play area.
The current Sherwood Forest visitor centre, which dates from the 1970s, will be demolished. The development will take place on a site on Swinecote Road.
The Cambridge-based company initially aimed to submit a planning application by the end of 2012, with construction due to begin in autumn 2013.
However Nottinghamshire County Council, which is helping to manage the project, said negotiations had taken longer than expected because the new site is an area of Special Scientific Importance (SSI).
Mr Gray said the company now planned to submit an application in the summer and start work on the visitor centre in spring 2014.
He said the Discover Robin Hood attraction will then open in spring 2015, as planned.
The scheme is being funded privately by a consortium of investors.
"Discover Robin Hood will be the first in a number of attractions based around English heritage we are opening across the country," said Mr Gray.
"We have a very strong team working on this. There have been some delays but we will open as planned."
Previous plans to bring a Robin Hood attraction to Nottingham and Nottinghamshire have stalled.
Mr Gray said: "It's going to be a resounding success and the curse that seems to have plagued other Robin Hood attractions will be broken."


England batsman Tom Westley has been "worked out" at Test match level according to former England captain Michael Vaughan.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Westley was dismissed for three as England were all out for 258 on day one of the second Test against West Indies.
He has scored 133 runs in his six Test match innings having made his debut last month.
Test Match Special's Jonathan Agnew said he believes Westley is "one innings away" from being dropped.
England's number three was out lbw to Roach in a fashion similar to other dismissals in his short international career.
"In two innings against West Indies he has played across the line twice," Vaughan said. "It is a real issue for him. Batting at number three you can't have that fragility of a technique.
"[If you] bowl a channel his head falls over to the off side and he finds it difficult to get a stride in.
"That front foot has to be flat on the ground when you are playing a drive or forward defensive. For his wicket he is on his tip toes with his front foot. He has no balance at all.
"Only a few Test matches into his career so far, I think he has been worked out."
England began the day with question marks over the selection of Westley and fellow batsmen Mark Stoneman and Dawid Malan with the Ashes series in Australia to come this winter.
All three failed, with Stoneman making only 19 in his second Test and Malan, playing in his fourth match, out for eight.
"These players have got an opportunity to get on the trip to Australia and all three have made mental or technical mistakes," Vaughan said.
"The selectors will be concerned. They will be supportive to the public and in the media but privately will have real concern.
"You have got to give Stoneman longer as he has only played two innings. At times he played nice strokes and played the ball late.
"Malan made 65 last week and maybe he was too confident. His wicket was a poor stroke."


A car parts firm has gone into administration with the loss of 1,244 jobs, including 78 in Wales.

Unipart Automotive staff in Cardiff, Newport, Trealaw, Swansea, Lllanelli, Bangor, Llandudno, Porthmadog and Wrexham are all affected.
The Carmarthen branch has been bought by The Parts Alliance Ltd.
The company, based in Solihull, West Midlands, has gone into administration with the loss of 1,244 jobs following "financial stress" in recent years.
A total of 33 sites around the country have been sold as ongoing concerns.
Joint administrator Mark Orton, of KPMG, said: "Despite intensive efforts over recent weeks, a sale of the whole Unipart Automotive business could not be reached, and a buyer could only be found for 33 of the sites on a going concern basis.
"Unfortunately, the business had been experiencing financial stress for a number of years, so the level of cash and further operational restructuring required to rescue a more substantial part of the business posed too much risk for most interested parties."
He said they would be reviewing the options for the remainder of the business and assisting staff with redundancy and job seeker services.


West Indies set up a semi-final with Australia or India despite suffering a shock six-run defeat by Afghanistan.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Batting first, Afghanistan recovered from 56-5 to post 123-7, with Najib Zadran hitting a composed unbeaten 48.
West Indies, who had won their first three matches, slumped from 79-3 to 117-8 to hand Afghanistan their biggest ever win, but still top Group 1.
The result confirms that England will play New Zealand in Delhi on Wednesday in their semi-final.
West Indies - who rested Chris Gayle for this game - will play their semi-final in Mumbai on Thursday.
Afghanistan return home having lost their first three games at this stage, but they will be buoyed by their first ever victory over a Test-playing side other than Bangladesh or Zimbabwe.

It was a fully deserved win for Asghar Stanikzai's side, who had given South Africa and England major scares in their two previous matches.
They had failed to capitalise on reducing England to 56-6, but this was initially a much less promising performance as they lost early wickets to the spin of Samuel Badree and Sulieman Benn.
However, from 76-5 after 15 overs, they came to life, with Zadran swatting four fours and a six to give them something to bowl at.
On the same Nagpur pitch where New Zealand defended 126 against India, Afghanistan - playing four spinners - were always in the game.
After three early wickets, a partnership of 41 between Dwayne Bravo and Denesh Ramdin seemed to have rescued West Indies, but when Ramdin was out stumped, Afghanistan seized their chances, with Mohammed Nabi taking two wickets and bowling a nerveless final over to seal victory.
However, with only 10 teams due to participate at the 2019 World Cup, this could be the last we see of Afghanistan in a major tournament for some time.
The West Indies advance to the last four for the third World Twenty20 in a row, but they will have major concerns after another brittle performance by their batting line-up.
Having only narrowly chased 123 against South Africa, this time they came unstuck, with only Dwayne Bravo (26) and Johnson Charles (22) passing 20 as five wickets fell to spin.
Carlos Brathwaite hit two sixes to give them hope, but with 10 required off the final over, he was brilliantly caught by Najib at cow corner.
To add to the West Indies' worries, Andre Fletcher - who hit 84 not out against Sri Lanka - retired hurt and would seem to be a major fitness doubt for the semi-final.
But Darren Sammy's side will be confident in their bowling, which was once again excellent, with Badree's 3-14 the standout performance.
Afghanistan captain Asghar Stanikzai: "Winning this match is very important. We needed one win in this tournament after missing two good chances to get one.
"Today the guys played really well. We thought we might be short 15 runs or so, but we still bowled very well and fielded very well, Najib especially."
West Indies captain Darren Sammy: "We're disappointed, but we're not going to let it dampen our spirits. They played well and we need to find a way to chase down those small totals.
"We have a semi-final and we're looking forward to that. We've done the most important part, which is getting through to the last four.
"We were just looking to win the match. It would have been good to win all four, but we understand that this was the only one we could afford to lose in terms of winning the trophy."


The Welsh NHS will fund abortions for women from Northern Ireland, the first minister has said.

It follows a UK government decision for the NHS in England to do so after MPs threatened to rebel on the issue.
The MPs were concerned because of the Tories' deal with the Democratic Unionists who back the tighter abortion restrictions in Northern Ireland.
Carwyn Jones told the Senedd that Wales should offer the same service as England and Scotland.
Last week, more than 50 MPs from the major parties backed a Labour-led call for women from Northern Ireland to have access to free NHS abortions in England during the debate on the Queen's Speech - the UK government's programme for legislation.
UK ministers agreed to the move as it appeared that some Tory MPs might back the call, risking a possible defeat for Theresa May whose minority government is being supported by Democratic Unionist MPs in the Commons.
Northern Ireland's abortion laws are much stricter than those in the rest of the UK.
Abortions are only allowed in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or there is a permanent or serious risk to her physical or mental health.
Rape, incest and fatal foetal abnormalities are not circumstances in which they can be performed legally.
Prior to the announcement, women from Northern Ireland seeking an abortion could travel to England to pay for a private procedure, but were not allowed to have them free on the NHS.
Labour MP Stella Creasy had told the Commons that women were having to spend Â£1,400 to get an abortion in England.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood raised the issue during First Minister's Questions on Tuesday, asking if such a service would be provided and funded in Wales.
In response, Mr Jones said: "We are looking at the detail of how that can be done, but we want to make sure that the same service is on offer in Wales as it is in England and Scotland.
"There are issues, for example, such as travel costs and how you provide ongoing care following a procedure instead of people just going home, but these are issues being considered."
Ms Wood said she was "pleased" with the commitment, saying it was a matter of "equality of treatment".
"Women in the north of Ireland do not have access to legal, safe abortion there," she said.
"They are not able to decide what happens to their bodies. That isn't right.
"Plaid Cymru supports this move and I am pleased that the Welsh Government has taken this important step."


Work is set to start on one of the UK's largest NHS specialist heart and lung hospitals in Cambridge after it was confirmed finances are now in place.

Papworth Hospital acquired seven acres (2.83 hectares) for its new base on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus near Addenbrooke's Hospital in December.
Work will begin shortly enabling it to move from Papworth Everard, 13 miles (20km) west of Cambridge, by 2018.
The hospital said its new base would "revolutionise cardiothoracic care".
The project will cost Â£165m, partly paid through a 30-year Private Finance Initiative (PFI) deal, and partly through the public sector.
The 310-bed hospital will replace the current 276-bed facility, which in 1979 carried out the UK's first successful heart transplant.
Prof John Wallwork, chairman of Papworth Hospital and former consultant cardiac surgeon, said: "This move will allow Papworth to revolutionise cardiothoracic care and treatment in the UK whilst allowing the hospital to offer the best possible care and treatment to our patients and future generations."


The Bank of England has cut its forecast for economic growth.

In its latest Inflation Report, it cut its forecast for growth this year to 2.2%. In November it had predicted growth of 2.5%.
The central bank also released the minutes of the latest meeting of its interest rate-setting committee.
It voted 9-0 to keep interest rates at 0.5%. Ian McCafferty, who had been voting for an increase since August, unexpectedly voted for no change.
The report downgraded the Bank of England's expectations about what is going to happen to wages.
The Bank now expects average weekly earnings to increase by 3% this year, down from the 3.75% it predicted three months ago.
The Bank said that persistent low inflation, increases in population and therefore labour supply and changes in taxes meant that it was unlikely that incomes would increase at the rate suggested last autumn.
It said that wage growth had "eased significantly more" than anticipated.
It will be 2018 before average weekly earnings are increasing at the rate experienced before the financial crisis, the Inflation Report suggested.
Nearly a decade after the start of the financial crisis, the feelgood factor is still pretty muted.

The Bank of England also cut its forecast for growth in 2017 to 2.3% from the 2.6% it was expecting in November.
Paul Diggle, an economist from Aberdeen Asset Management, said: "That prodigal first interest rate rise isn't coming any time soon.
"The Bank of England has made clear that they don't think growth or inflation is going to do much for a while, so there's no need to put rates up any time soon."
The minutes of the rate-setting meeting said it was "more likely than not" that its key interest rate would need to increase within two years.
But there were signals that it might not increase rates for the first time until late next year.
Interest rates have been at 0.5% since March 2009. There has not been a member of the rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) who has experienced a change in rates since Paul Fisher left in July 2014.
With inflation still more than one percentage point off the Bank of England's 2% target, Governor Mark Carney has had to write another letter to Chancellor George Osborne.
He only has to write once every three months and this is his fifth letter.
In it, he explained that low inflation was mostly due to falling commodity prices, with the oil price down by another one-third since November.
At a news conference, Mr Carney said that there were some positive signs for the UK economy, including that "sterling has fallen 3.5% since November. It's the largest decline between inflation reports since the crisis."
A weaker pound makes exported UK goods cheaper for customers overseas.
Mr Carney also highlighted that the UK financial system was resilient and in a position to cope with shocks.
He added that all nine members of the MPC believed that the next movement in UK interest rates would be upwards.
Asked about last year's comment that the decision over whether to raise interest rates would "come into sharper relief" at the beginning of this year, Mr Carney said the decision not to raise rates was an "easy one".
"Now is not the time to raise interest rates... the economy is using up slack but there is still a bit more to be done there and core inflation, while it's picked up, hasn't picked up quite enough," he said.


Japan's Crown Princess has attended a banquet for visiting Dutch royals, her first such appearance in 11 years.

Princess Masako, 50, is the wife of Crown Prince Naruhito, the heir to the Japanese imperial throne.
She began to suffer from a stress-related illness after joining the imperial family in 1993.
Since the birth of their daughter in 2001, she has made rare public appearances but has largely stayed away from royal duties.
Princess Masako also attended a welcoming ceremony for King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and his wife Queen Maxima, at the Imperial Palace earlier on Wednesday. It was her first welcome ceremony appearance in five years.
The event was hosted by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko.
Princess Masako and the family did travel to the Netherlands last year to attend the king's inauguration in what was seen as a sign of her recovery.
Before marrying the Crown Prince, who is the eldest son of the Emperor and Empress, Princess Masako was a successful diplomat who spoke several languages and travelled extensively.
Observers say she had an abrupt transition from her cosmopolitan lifestyle to the rigidity of royal life in Japan.
She was diagnosed with "adjustment disorder", which is linked with symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Many blame her ill health on the pressure to produce a male heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne as the royal family went through a succession crisis.
The crisis was resolved when Crown Prince Naruhito's younger brother, Prince Akishino and his wife, had a son in 2006.


A lawyer for six Baltimore police officers says they "did nothing wrong", after criminal charges were announced against them in the case of Freddie Gray who died in police custody.

Lawyer Michael Davey said the officers "at all times acted reasonably and in accordance with their training".
State attorney for Baltimore Marilyn Mosby earlier said the death of the 25-year-old black man was a homicide and his arrest had been illegal.
Gray's death sparked violent protests.
But after the charges were announced on Friday afternoon, celebrations broke out across Baltimore. Drivers honked their car horns as people took to the streets with fists raised in triumph.
"These charges are an important step in getting justice for Freddie," said Gray's stepfather Richard Shipley.
The spontaneous street celebrations turned into a small protest march in the evening, calling for an amnesty for those detained after Monday's rioting.
Police said that 53 people were detained on Friday, some for breaking the 22:00 curfew which is still in force in the city.
Speaking to reporters, Mr Davey accused Ms Mosby of an "egregious rush to judgement".
"As all of the facts surrounding this case come out in the appropriate form, the officers' lack of wrongdoing will be made abundantly clear."
In Baltimore, change in the way racial issues are being handled is under way - at a lightning-quick pace.
For the first time since 1968, the year that Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated, National Guard troops were deployed. That was earlier this week.
On Friday, the city - or at least a section of the city, West North Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, an area that had been torched - was starting to heal.
The National Guard troops, the same men who were sent here to stop would-be rioters, played with children in front of a burned-out CVS.
Someone has drawn a peace sign in white and pink chalk on its brick wall. Plywood has been bolted over the smashed-up doors. A Harriet Tubman poster, commemorating a woman who once helped free slaves, is hung on the wood, fastened with gaffer tape.
Is Baltimore starting to heal?
How did Freddie Gray die?
Who is prosecutor Marilyn Mosby?
Mr Davey insisted that Gray's injuries "did not occur as a result of any action or inaction on the part of these officers."
He also said that the defence team had "grave concerns about the fairness and integrity of the prosecution of our officers".
All six officers have been suspended and were charged after they voluntarily presented themselves at the city jail. They have now been released from detention on bail.
Ms Mosby earlier rejected a police union request to step aside and appoint a special prosecutor to handle the case.
The prosecutor said the findings of an independent investigation, coupled with the medical examiner's view that the death was a homicide, had "led us to believe that we have probable cause to file criminal charges".
Ms Mosby said Gray died as a result of injuries suffered while he was shackled inside a Baltimore police van, but not restrained by a seat belt - as he was legally required to be.
She said the officers failed to provide medical aid to Gray after he repeatedly pleaded for help.
The driver of the van, Caesar Goodson, 45, faces the most serious charge, second-degree murder. Mr Goodson faces more than 30 years in prison if convicted.
The other officers face charges including involuntary manslaughter, assault and misconduct.
Ms Mosby said that Gray was not carrying an illegal switchblade as reported earlier by police, but a legal pocketknife.
After Gray's funeral on Monday, riots broke out in sections of West Baltimore. About 200 people were arrested as more than 100 cars were set alight and 15 buildings destroyed.
Since then, the city and state officials deployed thousands of extra law enforcement officers and National Guard troops to keep the peace and enacted a citywide curfew.
Gray's death is the latest in a string of high-profile cases where black men have died after contact with the police.


England batsman Michael Carberry has the character to beat cancer, Hampshire director of cricket Giles White says.

The left-hander, who has played six Tests for England, is yet to learn the full extent of the cancerous tumour which tests revealed this week.
White told BBC Radio Solent: "He has got to wait for more tests to discover the severity of the condition.
"When he knows that, he might have a battle on his hands. I back him to pull through."
Carberry told team-mates of his condition before Hampshire's T20 Blast match against Glamorgan on Thursday.
"He sat with the team before tonight's game [against Glamorgan] and wanted to tell them in person," White said.
"It was quite an emotional changing room and I think everyone was in shock and our thoughts are with Michael and his family."
The 35-year-old missed eight months of cricket when diagnosed with blood clot on his lung in November 2010.
"Michael's a guy with immense character who has been in these situations before," White said. "He is quite a pragmatic chap."
There have been numerous messages of support from around the cricket world for Carberry, who has also played at county level for Surrey and Kent as well as for Perth Scorchers in Australia's Big Bash T20 competition.


Iranians will not make the Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia this year after talks failed to break an impasse, an Iranian minister has said.

Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Ali Jannati said the Saudis had played a "destructive" role in negotiations, Iranian news agency Irna reported.
Saudi Arabia has not commented on Mr Jannati's remarks.
Iranian-Saudi tensions soared earlier this year after Saudi Arabia executed a dissident Shia cleric.
Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic ties and halted flights to and from Iran after Iranians stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran over the death of the cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr
Last year, more than 460 Iranians were killed in a stampede at the Hajj, which Iran blamed on Saudi "mismanagement".
Sticking points in the talks centre around the issuing of visas and security arrangements for the Hajj.
"The sabotage is coming from the Saudis. Their attitude was cold and inappropriate," Mr Jannati said.
Because Saudi Arabia does not have a diplomatic mission in Tehran any longer, it wants Iranian pilgrims to travel to a third country to obtain a visa.
But Iran wants Saudi Arabia to issue visas through the Swiss embassy in Tehran, which has looked after Saudi interests since Riyadh broke off ties.
Mr Janati also said Saudi Arabia had not accepted Iranian proposals for the security and transportation of the Iranian pilgrims.
Majority-Shia Iran and leading Sunni power Saudi Arabia are at loggerheads over a number regional issues, including support for opposing sides in the conflicts in Syria and Yemen.

The liquid substance hardens as soon as a bullet hits it. This not only stops the bullet but absorbs a lot of the impact too.
It could be used to make liquid body armour, protecting the person wearing it.
Researchers think this substance could be used in many other applications, like protective sports equipment or as crash protection in car bumpers and road barriers.
Watch Hayley's report to see the extraordinary liquid in action.

A Soviet monument in Sofia, Bulgaria has been painted in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, sparking protest from Russia.

Unknown artists painted the Monument to the Soviet Army on Saturday night, local media reported.
Russia has since demanded an explanation of the "vandal incident", the Itar-Tass agency reported.
It is the latest in a series of modifications of the monument which have tried to make political points.


Four residents of TV's Benefits Street ran a drugs operation, a jury in Birmingham has been told.

Tina Thomas, 47, Charlene Wilson, 31, Samora Roberts, 33, who was known as Black Dee in the Channel 4 show, and Ian Wright, 39, were charged after raids in Birmingham in June 2013.
The four, from James Turner Street, Winson Green, deny charges of conspiracy to supply drugs.
Two other men also deny charges relating to the supply of drugs.
Omari George, 22, of Dora Road, Handsworth, and Marvin Scott, 38, of City Road, Edgbaston, pleaded not guilty to three charges of conspiracy to supply crack cocaine, cannabis and heroin.
The court heard officers raided homes in the street and found "quite significant quantities of drugs".
Ms Roberts and Ms Thomas deny two further charges of illegally having ammunition.
The jury was told officers found a pink shoe containing 13 bullets inside Ms Roberts' home, while in a neighbour's home a sock with her DNA on it was found to contain a further five shells.
Under her bed, officers found a key to a Ford Focus parked in the street, inside which a bag of crack cocaine with a street value of Â£5,000 was recovered.
Samantha Forsyth, opening the case for the prosecution at Birmingham Crown Court, said the street had "gained a degree of publicity because there was a TV programme based on some of the residents."
She said: "The police secretly filmed the defendants going about what we say was their unlawful business: the selling of drugs.
"Each and every one, to a lesser or greater extent, were involved in selling drugs from that street."
When arrested and searched, Ms Roberts had Â£200 in her waistband, and a further two bags of cannabis, the court was told.
The jury heard she told officers: "You didn't even get the guy or four others involved - this makes me laugh".
Roberts denied the drugs were hers while the cash "had come from her grandmother".
Ms Forsyth said Ms Roberts "described her house as an open house, and items such as the car keys" were nothing to do with her.
The car was found to be insured in the name of Ms Roberts' co-accused, Mr George.
The case continues.


Nearly 200,000 security personnel are being deployed in northern India ahead of a court ruling on the long-running Ayodhya religious dispute.

Helicopters are keeping watch overhead and authorities have urged calm amid fears the ruling could spark unrest.
The Allahabad High Court will decide who owns land where Hindu mobs tore down a 16th Century mosque in 1992.
Hindus claim the site of the Babri Masjid is the birthplace of their God, Rama, and want to build a temple there.
The destruction of the mosque led to widespread rioting between Hindus and Muslims in which some 2,000 people died.
It was some of the worst religious violence since the partition of India in 1947.
The high court ruling in the Ayodhya case is due to be announced in the city of Lucknow, in Uttar Pradesh state, on Thursday at 1530 local time (1000 GMT).
Of the three judges who will give the verdict, two are Hindu and one is Muslim.
The BBC's Soutik Biswas in Delhi says whichever way the ruling goes, it will be a test for India's secular identity.
Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said on Wednesday that there would be 190,000 security personnel on duty in the state for the ruling.
Group mobile phone text messages have been blocked in an attempt to prevent anyone from inciting violence, and a media watchdog has appealed to broadcasters to avoid showing inflammatory images.
"The central government has taken adequate measures and has deployed adequate forces to assist state governments in maintaining peace," Mr Chidambaram told a press conference in Delhi.
"I once again appeal to the people to maintain peace."
Timeline: Ayodhya holy site crisis
Mr Chidambaram said all state governments had been "advised to be firm and maintain public peace and order and I'm sure they will do it".
Correspondents say the authorities are anxious as the legal decision could have potentially explosive consequences.
An appeal for peace, signed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, has appeared in several Indian newspapers urging people to respect the rule of law and abide by the court order.
Correspondents say the Ayodhya ruling could not have come at a worse time for the authorities - they already have their hands full dealing with security preparations for the Delhi Commonwealth Games which begin on Sunday.
Moreover, many troops are engaged in fighting Maoist rebels across vast tracts of India and the worsening situation in Indian-administered Kashmir has added to security problems.
The court ruling was due last Friday but the Supreme Court deferred the decision, saying it wanted to give Hindus and Muslims more time to resolve the dispute amicably. On Tuesday it said the high court could proceed.
Correspondents say Thursday's ruling is unlikely to be final and it is expected that the judgement will be appealed.
In neighbouring Bangladesh, which also saw sectarian riots in 1992, police have deployed additional forces around temples and in Hindu areas of Dhaka.


A roadside bomb has killed five civilians in southern Afghanistan, government officials have said.

Those killed include two children. All the victims were passengers in a  minivan.
The attack took place in Sangin district in Helmand province.
It is not known who carried out the attack, but the area on Pakistan's border is a stronghold of the Taliban and al-Qaeda militants.
Helmand provincial spokesman Daud Ahmadi told the AFP news agency that the minivan "struck a Taliban-planted mine".
Correspondents say says roads are increasingly in the front line of the war in Afghanistan.
Civilian and military casualties are at levels not seen for a decade - last year more than 2,400 civilians died, with roadside bombs the biggest source of casualties.


A man accused of plotting a terror knife attack has appeared in court alongside his sister.

Ummariyat Mirza, 21, of St Agathas Road, Birmingham, is charged with preparing for a terrorist attack in the UK by buying a knife and other items.
His sister, Zainub Mirza, 23, from Eastfield Road, Bordesley Green, is charged with sending Islamic State propaganda videos to others.
They were remanded in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

The siblings were ordered to appear on 28 April at the Old Bailey for a preliminary hearing.
It is alleged Ms Mirza sent the extremist material, including a picture of a man holding two severed heads, to encourage terror attacks.
Mr Mirza was arrested by counter-terror police in Alum Rock Road, Birmingham, as part of a series of raids on homes on 29 March.
He is also charged with possessing the bomb-making guide the Anarchist Cookbook and an extremist document called the Mujahideen Poisons handbook.


Rolls-Royce, the engine and turbine maker, is to invest up to £60m in its Renfrewshire manufacturing plant.

The company is to make Inchinnan, near Glasgow Airport, a Centre of Competence for making aerofoils and engine shafts.
The specialist unit will provide parts for aero-engines which have gone out of volume production, meaning it requires flexible skills in making bespoke items.
It is expected that 130 roles will be created.
The company said this would partly offset the loss of almost 190 jobs announced in March.
While Rolls-Royce has faced big challenges in adjusting to market changes, with repeated profit warnings, it is consolidating its operations.
It currently has 54,000 employees in more than 50 countries, making and servicing aero-engines for airlines, ships and military use. Last year, it had turnover of more than £14bn.
Mike Mosley, chief operating officer for the supply chain division at the Derby-based firm, said: "Our investment in Inchinnan demonstrates our commitment to innovative technology and world-class facilities which will improve performance and drive profitable growth for our business.
"We recognise the dedication and flexibility of the Inchinnan workforce who continue to play a key role in the success of Rolls-Royce."
Rolls-Royce initially invested £85m in the Inchinnan plant.
In a statement, the company said the investment would "potentially" offset the impact of job reductions announced earlier this year as part of the restructuring of its aerospace division.
Renfrewshire Council said the investment was a "vote of confidence" in the Inchinnan plant.
Council leader Mark Macmillan added: "For a world-leading manufacturer to choose Renfrewshire as a focus for further investment is also a tremendous boost for the Renfrewshire economy.
"Renfrewshire has a proud engineering and manufacturing heritage and Rolls-Royce has been at the forefront of that."
In March, Rolls-Royce announced that it was going to shed 187 of the 700 jobs at Inchinnan.
More jobs were to go at its East Kilbride plant, where it services and repairs small and medium-scale engines.
That older plant is to close by the end of the year, as 630 staff are moved, in phases, to the Inchinnan site.


The UK inflation rate registered a surprise fall in October, although there were signs that the pressure on consumer prices is starting to build.

Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation fell to 0.9%, from 1% in September, the Office for National Statistics said.
That was below the 1.1% predicted by economists, who said sterling's fall would push October's CPI higher.
However, the ONS said factory gate prices and the costs of raw materials rose much faster in October.
The price of goods leaving factories rose by 2.1%, faster than expected and the biggest increase since April 2012. And costs faced by producers for raw materials and oil showed a record monthly jump in October, up by 4.6%.
"After initially pushing up the prices of raw materials, the recent fall in the value of the pound is now starting to boost the price of goods leaving factories as well," ONS statistician Mike Prestwood said.
"However, aside from fuel, there is no clear evidence that these pressures have so far fed through to the prices in shops," he said.
The cost of clothing and university tuition fees rose more slowly than in 2015, however, helping to keep inflation in check.  The ONS said certain games and toys, overnight hotel stays and non-alcoholic beverages fell in price.
But there is an expectation among economists that inflation is set to rise, fuelled by the fall in the value of sterling since the Brexit referendum in June, which has pushed up the cost of imports.
On Tuesday, Bank of England governor Mark Carney told the Treasury Committee that "the thinking now is that inflation is going to go above target... We see more inflation coming through in 2017-18, and then a tail in 2019."
Inflation has been below the Bank's 2% target for nearly three years. Last year it was zero, the lowest since comparable records began in 1950.
The pound has fallen about 16% against the dollar and about 11% against the euro since June.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at IHS Markit said that despite October's CPI fall, the trend over the coming months would be upwards as rising factory costs feed through to consumers.
"It's therefore likely to be only a matter of time before price hikes in retailers' supply chains start feeding through to the customer, as retailers seek to protect margins," he said.
"The concern is that consumers are driving the economy at the moment, and higher inflation is starting to eat into people's spending power, subduing consumer spending."
Nick Dixon, investment director at Aegon, said the trajectory for interest rates was also upwards.
"While slowing price growth may have come as a surprise to the markets, the days of low interest rates are numbered," he said.
"We're likely to see hawkish calls intensify among Bank of England officials in coming months. Despite the sluggish pace of inflation, the next 12 months are likely to see interest rates rise faster and higher than expected."
Earlier this month, the Bank of England forecast that inflation would rise to about 2.7% by this time next year.
The Retail Prices Index (RPI) - a separate measure of inflation, which includes housing costs - was 2% in October, unchanged from September, the ONS said.
Earlier this month, the ONS announced that from March 2017, there would be a new measure of inflation that would include the cost of owning a home.


A Newport man who ran a failed £8.5m spread-betting scheme has been hit with lengthy bankruptcy restrictions.

Stuart Mudge, 61, took money from investors from 2009-12, but later admitted breaking the law by operating without Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) authorisation.
He failed to pay £7m to the FCA and was declared bankrupt in 2014.
Mr Mudge will now face "severe financial restrictions" for 12 years, the Insolvency Service said.
Ken Beasley, Official Receiver at the Insolvency Service, added: "This case is a prime example of the losses that can be incurred via an investment scheme that looks too good to be true."
The Insolvency Service said Mr Mudge took the money from investors for his scheme, the Churchgate Trading Syndicate, over a three-year period.
An investigation found investors were promised "guaranteed returns" of 15% every quarter.
However, Mr Mudge's assets were frozen and he was blocked from operating the syndicate after the FCA obtained an injunction in February 2012.
The Insolvency Service said Mr Mudge acknowledged operating the syndicate without FCA authorisation and breaking the law. A High Court judge subsequently ordered him to pay £7m to the FCA to distribute to the investors.
He was declared bankrupt in December 2014, after failing to pay any money to the FCA.
Other sums recovered funded a "small, pro-rata return" to the investors but they have suffered "substantial losses", the Insolvency Service said.
After further investigation by the Official Receiver, Mr Mudge was made subject to a bankruptcy restrictions order at Cardiff County Court in February.
He cannot promote, manage or be a director of a limited company until February 2029 and he must disclose his status to a credit provider if he wishes to borrow £500 or more, among other constraints.
Mark Steward, of the FCA, said: "Investors are often lured by false promises of high returns without the high risks being disclosed to them.
"Spread betting on securities or currencies is typically risky and investors in Mr Mudge's scheme ended up losing substantial amounts of money."


Notts County have completed the signing of experienced goalkeeper Adam Collin on a two-year contract.

The 31-year-old joins on a free transfer after leaving Championship side Rotherham United.
Collin has played more than 200 league games in the past four seasons, one with Carlisle and three at Rotherham.
But he only played twice for the Millers last term, with a further three appearances during a loan spell with Scottish club Aberdeen.
League Two side Notts released veteran keeper Roy Carroll at the end of last season.

Charity fundraiser "Run Geordie Run" has set off for Europe on the next leg of his around the world challenge.

Mark Allison has already run across across the USA and Australia, and is now taking on the 3,400 miles from Lisbon to Istanbul.
The software developer from Bedlington, Northumberland, aims to complete the route across 14 countries in 100 days.
Money raised will go to two charities: the Children's Foundation and the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
Mr Allison set off from Tynemouth in the motor home that will be his support base for the duration of the challenge, and will take the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander in Spain on Tuesday.
"This run is a big step up for me in terms of distance and especially elevation," he said.
"I'm looking forward to actually getting started and putting all the preparation into effect.
"But knowing there are 9,000ft climbs like the Stelvio Pass and 15 Tour de France climbs ahead of me is daunting."


Britain's Mark Stewart captured his first senior gold medal with victory in the scratch race on day two of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in New Zealand.

The 20-year-old Scotsman overhauled Colombian rider Brayan Stiven Sanchez Vergara on the line to snatch gold.
Jason Kenny was fifth in the keirin, having been fourth in the team sprint with Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner.
Katy Marchant fought back through the repechages to make the sprint semi-finals before finishing sixth.


We bandy these words about: debt, deficit, duty, fiscal drag, especially at the time of the chancellor's Budget, but what do they actually mean?

Strikingly obvious, really. Think of your own budgeting. The chancellor, though, only lays out how he's going to raise money - generally through tax but also borrowing - and what he's going to spend it on, once a year (usually). In the past few decades this has also involved commitments to future years. Many of us, of course, don't bother laying out our budgets, the salary and bills seem to take care of themselves. He has to make a Budget by law as certain taxes have to be approved each year by parliament.
We've already had one this year, but after a new government is elected, the chancellor, even if it is the same one, traditionally announces another one. This year, because the Conservatives no longer have to worry about what their former Liberal Democrat coalition partners think, they are free to spend the nation's money how they want. Like after divorce. Except they get to keep all the assets, the income, and, oh yes, the debts.
Other countries call them finance ministers. Thomas Cromwell, Sir Robert Peel, creator of the police, and Sir Winston Churchill are former holders of the post. Chancellor just means official in Latin, roughly speaking. So that's boring. Exchequer is better. It refers to a special cloth that was used to place counters on. It looked like a chess board.
There have been arguments about this. Is it rising or falling? National debt - household and governments - in total, is rising. There's also debt as a percentage of the whole economy. That falls when the economy grows faster than that pile of debt. Like you've increased your mortgage but your property's value has gone up by more. In 2014-15, net UK debt stood at almost £1.5 trillion.
The gap between income and spending. Simply, shrinking the deficit means either raising taxes or cutting spending. It is sometimes called the country's overdraft. A concept some think is fatuous as unlike households, governments can keep rolling over the debt for years, and inflation, still a usually occurring phenomenon, erodes it. The next generation does not have to wipe out the previous one's debts, as it does in a family.
Excise duty. Like VAT it is an indirect tax applied within a country to goods or services. Unlike VAT, which is charged at 20% of the sale price, it is often a flat amount levied to each item. It is applied commonly to tobacco, alcohol, gambling - and fuel. The fuel duty is the reason why motorists fume when oil prices fall yet petrol prices do not. That and VAT make up 65% of the price. It has been as much as 80%. Governments raise most excise duties in line with inflation. Fuel price rises though tend to annoy the electorate more than just about anything. Most Budgets have either cancelled or deferred increasing it in line with inflation.
The rate of income tax people pay depends on how much they earn: the higher their income, the higher rate of tax. In expanding economies, people's earnings are more likely to increase. In some cases, those people will cross an earnings threshold and find themselves paying a higher rate of tax. If this is widespread, it can act as a brake on how the economy expands, as people have less money to spend. However, it can also be seen as something that stops inflation rising too quickly.
Different rates of income tax are paid on different parts of incomes. People pay nothing on the first £10,600 that they earn. They pay 20% on anything between that and the next £31,785. After that it is 40% on anything higher until you get to an income of more than £150,000. Earnings above £150,000 are taxed at 45%. The "threshold" refers to the barrier between the tax rates. So once someone edges over a threshold, they pay tax at a higher rate on anything they earn above that level. Not, as some think, suddenly on the whole amount, meaning if you're approaching a pay rise that takes you into a higher tax band, you needn't worry you will actually take home less.
Bank levy. Effectively another tax; introduced in 2011 it is charged on the amount of debt held by all UK banks. Initially brought in at the sliver rate of 0.05% it has been quadrupled in that short time to 0.21%. That is too much for some. Analysts cite it as one of the reasons HSBC, which makes the bulk of its profits abroad but is based here and taxed here, wants to move its business base elsewhere. The levy raised more than £2bn last year, of which about a third came from HSBC alone.
The OBR was created in 2010 to provide independent and authoritative analysis of the UK's public finances. It has five main roles: producing five year forecasts; judging the government's performance against fiscal targets; scrutinising the Treasury's costing of tax; assessing sustainability of public finances; and assessing the government's performance against the welfare cap.
The government allows every taxpayer to earn a certain amount before they start paying tax - the personal allowance. It sets a threshold below which people don't pay income tax. Bear in mind that people may earn below this threshold and still pay other types of tax (for instance, national insurance contributions, which raise a lot of the total tax take). In 2015-16, the UK personal allowance is £10,600.
The structural deficit is a relatively new concept. It is basically the current budget deficit adjusted to strip out the cyclical nature of the economy. You would expect, for example, the budget deficit to get smaller when the economy grows.  In other words, it's the underlying deficit that is not directly affected by general economic conditions.
Possibly the biggest political potato of this Budget. There are two types: Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. They are paid to more than four million people who may be eligible if they earn less than £33,000 a year. The taxpayer spends some £30bn a year on them. Formerly barely mentioned, now that the government is planning to cut another £12bn from welfare spending, they are firmly in the spotlight. They were designed to make it worthwhile for people to come off unemployment benefits - even for more low-paid jobs. One argument in favour is that it is better to have people in work, even if that is subsidised to some extent. But some argue that they subsidise low wages, and therefore business profits. The government has begun saying that if these were cut, business would pay more to make up the shortfall.
This is a term used to describe protections for increases in the state pension. Under the triple-lock scheme, the government promises to lift pensions by whatever is the highest out of: inflation, increases in average earnings or 2.5%. It guarantees that pensioners would see their pensions go up even if inflation is low.

The medical helpline NHS 24 has shelved a new £117m phone system over fears for patient safety.

Delays in answering calls have resulted in the helpline resorting to using its previous system after just 10 days.
Once a solution to the problems is found, the programme will be re-launched - expected to be early 2016.
The call-handling and IT system - called the Future Programme - "has proved extremely challenging", according to an NHS statement.
This is despite "a huge amount of planning, system testing and staff training".
NHS 24 chief executive Ian Crichton warned that keeping the Future Programme in service at this level of operation would be unsafe for patients.
He said he expected the volume of calls the helpline receives over the weekend to "significantly increase" as winter approaches, which indicates that the service "would fall below acceptable tolerances".
"This is not a decision that we have taken lightly, given the significant investment to date, but one that will ensure we can continue to deliver vital and safe out-of-hours support to patients when they need it most during the coming winter",  he said.
The NHS will continue to develop the new system offline before rolling it out again early in the new year.
Scottish Labour's public services spokeswoman Jackie Baillie accused the Scottish government of having a "short-term, sticking plaster approach to the NHS".
Scottish Conservative health spokesman Jackson Carlaw called the project "a mismanaged shambles" which had cost the taxpayer a fortune.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said that while NHS 24 remained fully operational, she was disappointed that it had to revert to the previous system.
However, she said patient safety was the priority and "it is right that NHS 24 take the time necessary to understand and fix any outstanding problems completely".
Theresa Fyffe, Royal College of Nursing Scotland director, said it was "regrettable" but "the right decision" for patients and staff.
The announcement follows an incident in October, when the same system crashed and staff had to resort to pen and paper.
An Audit Scotland report had also previously raised concerns over the cost and delivery of the system.
Initially due to be ready for October 2013, it was delayed for two years and cost about £117m - almost £40m above the expected cost.


A North Korean defector is reported to have sought asylum at the South Korean consulate in Hong Kong.

Details remain unclear, but the South China Morning Post reported that he is believed to have come to Hong Kong to take part in an academic competition two weeks ago.
Police patrols around the area have been boosted and security stepped up.
China, which has authority over Hong Kong's diplomatic issues, has reportedly been notified.
A police spokeswoman told BBC Chinese that police were aware of the reports, and confirmed that officers were on guard outside the entrance of the consulate. She said journalists would be stopped from filming.
South Korea's foreign ministry said the government's position was not to make any comments related to defectors from Pyongyang.
The defector will probably have to spend a few months at the South Korean consulate, according to North Korean Defectors Concern, a Hong Kong-based NGO.
Co-founder Lau Kwun-hang told the BBC that the Chinese government could not arrest or repatriate the asylum seeker because he had already entered the consulate. "But if he wants to leave [Hong Kong] and head to South Korea, this needs the permission of the Chinese government."
Something similar happened in 2012, when Beijing finally allowed five North Korean defectors to leave for South Korea after they had spent three years in China.
Given the publicity and security concerns, Lau Kwun-hang does not believe the defector will need to wait for years before departing for South Korea.
Under Hong Kong's Basic Law, the constitutional document of the territory, China has authority over diplomatic issues.
China usually sends back North Koreans found entering its territory illegally. South Korea usually takes in and rehabilitates North Koreans who escape.
The South Korean Unification Ministry's website says more than 29,000 North Koreans have defected to the South since the end of the Korean War.
In April, 13 North Koreans working at an overseas restaurant defected to South Korea, the first mass escape from a single location. A second group reportedly defected in May.
There were also reports in April that a senior North Korean official had defected.


Former Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis is to play at the Aegon Open in Nottingham next month.

World number 38 Baghdatis had to pull out of last season's tournament in the semi-finals because of injury, but will return for the pre-Wimbledon grass-court event, which starts on 18 June.
South Africa's world number 19 Kevin Anderson is the highest-ranked entrant.
Great Britain Davis Cup trio Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans and James Ward will also be in the draw.
They were all part of the Great Britain squad that won the Davis Cup in 2015 - Britain's first title in 79 years.


Brooke McCarter, best known for playing a vampire in The Lost Boys, has died at the age of 52, his family has said.

The US actor played Paul, a member of Kiefer Sutherland's blood-sucking gang, in the 1987 horror comedy film.
In a statement, his "heartbroken" family said he died on Tuesday "from the genetic liver condition alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT)".
The message describes McCarter as a "loving son, brother, father, uncle, cousin, nephew and friend".
The Facebook statement added: "We appreciate your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
Born in 1963 in Philadelphia, McCarter was a high school athlete and model before landing his best-known screen role.
As blond-haired "lost boy" Paul, he met a grisly end after being knocked by a dog into a bath full of garlic-infused holy water.
Unlike some of his co-stars, who included Jason Patric, Corey Feldman and the late Corey Haim, McCarter did not go on to pursue a full-time acting career.
Instead he worked in the telecommunications industry while also making music and occasionally appearing at horror conventions.
According to People magazine, the father-of-one died from liver failure at his home in Tampa, Florida, after having been admitted to hospital earlier this year.
Actor Alex Winter, who played vampire Marko in The Lost Boys, paid tribute to his former co-star on Twitter.
"RIP Brooke McCarter and condolences to the family," he wrote. "We had some very very good times together back in the day."


Dozens of migrants on the Greek island of Kos have begun registering on a passenger ship which will be their temporary shelter as they seek asylum.

The first to board was a group of Syrian refugees, who have been living rough on Kos since they arrived.
It is hoped the ship will help the island to cope with a recent influx of migrants, many of whom have come in small boats from neighbouring Turkey.
The vessel could provide temporary shelter for up to 2,500 people.
The first migrants were allowed to board the Eleftherios Venizelos car ferry early on Sunday morning, after a delay of more than a day in preparing the ship.
'Coming here for peace': Migrants' stories on Kos
The Syrians will be processed as refugees as they are fleeing the country's civil war.
Correspondents say the Greek government is calling the ferry a reception facility, but critics view it as a detention centre.
At night the lights of Kos can be seen from the shores near Bodrum in Turkey. They make the island appear tantalisingly close for those wanting to head to Europe.
Early every morning groups head out into the darkness from beaches here - often in dinghies designed for tourists.
There are families among them. Parents carefully fit life jackets on their children in the hope that they can give them a better future in Europe.
But it is obvious that for some - both young and old - setting off into the ocean is terrifying.
This morning we saw real moments of panic when people fell in the water because the boat was overloaded.
It is immediately clear that many have little experience of being in a dinghy, never mind controlling one.
Coastguard ships from both Europe and Turkey patrol this stretch of sea and they are picking up people who have got into trouble daily.
This water remains a dangerous divide even if it is proving to be an ineffective border.
It will be the place where migrants can apply for the documents they need to travel to other parts of Europe.
Meanwhile, migrants continued to make the short crossing to Kos from the Turkish town of Bodrum.
The Associated Press reported scuffles on Saturday night as people tried to board a small dinghy, while others were forced to bail water out of a small overcrowded boat which seemed to be sinking.
Until now, the several thousand migrants who have made the journey to Kos have been sleeping in tents, abandoned buildings or in the open.
Clashes broke out this week as police tried to contain people being held inside a football stadium.
And on Saturday, there were scuffles as different groups vied for a place at the front of the queue onto the ferry.
Thousands of migrants have arrived this year on Kos, an island with a population of 33,000.
The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) says at least 124,000 people reached Greece's shores by sea in the first seven months of 2015 - more than seven times as many as during the same period in 2014.
Nearly all the new arrivals in Greece are refugees fleeing the wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, it says.
UNHCR European Director, Vincent Cochetel, has said facilities on the Greek islands are "totally inadequate".


Monkeys have been trained to control a virtual arm on a computer screen using only their brain waves.

Scientists say the animals were also able use the arm to sense the texture of different virtual objects.
Writing in the journal Nature, the researchers say their work could speed up the development of wearable exoskeletons.
This technology could help quadriplegic patients not only regain movement but a sense of touch as well.
In the experiments, a pair of rhesus monkeys was trained to control a virtual arm on a screen solely by the electrical activity generated in their brains.
Thanks to feedback from the experimental setup, the monkeys were also able to feel texture differences of objects on the screen.
The researchers involved say that just like a normal functioning limb, the monkeys were able to do both actions at the same time, sending out signals to control the arm while simultaneously getting electrical feedback to understand the texture of the objects that were touched.
Prof Miguel Nicolelis from the Duke University Centre for Neuroengineering in North Carolina was the senior author of the study. He believes it is a significant step in this field.
"It provides us with the demonstration that we can establish a bi-directional link between the brain and an artificial device without any interference from the subject's body," he said.
The researchers trained the monkeys, Mango and Tangerine, to play a video game using a joystick to move the virtual arm and capture three identical targets. Each target was associated with a different vibration of the joystick.
Multiple electrodes were implanted in the brains of the monkeys and connected to the computer screen. The joystick was removed and motor signals from the monkey's brains then controlled the arm.
At the same time, signals from the virtual fingers as they touched the targets were transmitted directly back into the brain.
The monkeys had to search for a target with a specific texture to gain a reward of fruit juice.  It only took four attempts for one of the monkeys to figure out how to make the system work.
According to Prof Nicolelis, the system has now been developed so the monkeys can control the arm wirelessly.
"We have an interface for 600 channels of brain signal transmission, so we can transmit 600 channels of brain activity wirelessly as if you had 600 cell phones broadcasting this activity.
"For patients this will be very important because there will be no cables whatsoever connecting the patient to any equipment."
The scientists say that this work represents a major step on the road to developing robotic exoskeletons - wearable technology would allow patients afflicted by paralysis to regain some movement.
Prof Nicolelis and his colleagues are already working with a team in Munich to develop a whole body exoskeleton, a device that can be controlled by the brain activity of the patient.
"When the patient commands this vest to move, it will not only carry their body it will provide the sensory feedback so that they know if they are stepping or walking or grabbing objects," he explained.
"In terms of rehabilitation of patients that suffer from severe neurological disorders this is a major step forward, I think."
The Duke University team is leading the Walk Again project, which hopes to carry out a public demonstration of a wearable exoskeleton at the opening game of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.


Barclays has said US regulators' proposed fines of $470m (£291m) for the bank's alleged manipulation of energy markets are "unjustified" and the allegations will not stand up in court.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) has accused four Barclays traders of manipulating power prices in the US from 2006-2008.
Barclays denies the charges.
In a filing on Friday, the bank said Ferc's allegations were "based on an economically irrational theory".
The Office of Enforcement (OE), a branch of Ferc, allege the team of four traders exchanged messages explaining how they would use certain trades in one market to profit in another.
The traders are alleged to have manipulated power prices to make money with their financial swap positions, causing losses for rival power traders of $139m and winning the bank $34.9m.
But Barclays said: "The underlying allegations are inconsistent with the facts and incorrectly rely on erroneous inferences drawn from mere fragments of documents.
"The investigative record, when read carefully and objectively, is plainly insufficient to establish each element of a violation of the Anti-Manipulation Rule by a preponderance of the evidence - the evidentiary standard the Commission will be required to meet in federal district court."
The bank went on: "OE's claims ring even more hollow because they are not accompanied by any explanation as to how OE arrived at its overstated and unjustified claims of disgorgement and civil penalties for Barclays.
"For these reasons, the Commission should terminate this proceeding without any further action."
Barclays' reputation has been hit by a series of scandals in recent months.
In June, it was fined £290m by UK and US regulators for attempting to manipulate Libor, an interbank lending rate which affects mortgages and loans.
In August, the Serious Fraud Office started an investigation into payments between Barclays' bank and Qatar Holding in 2008 when the bank was raising money in the Middle East during the banking crisis.
In the UK Barclays has also been part of the industry wide mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI) to individuals and the mis-selling of specialist insurance - called interest rate swaps - to small businesses.


Ground penetrating radar is to be used to uncover the secrets of a 900-year-old abbey, where King Henry I and his Queen Adeliza were buried.

It will be the first comprehensive archaeological investigation at Reading Abbey for more than 150 years.
The Hidden Abbey Project aims to discover the significance of the site, founded by Henry in 1121.
The scheme will run alongside an ongoing conservation project that will see the abbey reopened to the public.
The first phase of the investigations will focus on the abbey church, land around St James' Church, Forbury Gardens and Reading Gaol car park.
The area will also be surveyed to locate possible sites for future investigation, including the high altar where the king was buried.
Reading mayor Sarah Hacker, who is on the project steering group, said: "We hope to show the lavish scale of what in the Middle Ages was one of the major Benedictine Abbeys in western Europe, and a regular place for royal visits and events."
Reading Abbey closed in the summer of 2009 after a survey highlighted the "poor and rapidly deteriorating condition of the walls".
Heritage Lottery Fund money is supporting Reading Borough Council's Reading Abbey Revealed conservation and education project.
Buildings in the quarter include Jane Austen's former school and Reading Gaol, where Oscar Wilde was incarcerated.


The Scottish economy is expected to slow down next year as employment growth continues to be negative, according to business advisers PwC.

They predict economic growth will fall from 1.8% in 2016 to 0.9% in 2017.
Growth for the UK is also forecast to fall, from 2.1% this year to 1.2%.
PwC's latest UK Economic Outlook report blamed the UK-wide slowdown on "the drag on investment from increased political and economic uncertainty following the Brexit vote".
However, it predicted that both Scotland and the UK should manage to avoid recession.
Scotland is expected to be the only part of the UK to see continued negative figures for employment growth.
The report said more people would be "economically inactive" in the coming year.
PwC partner Paul Brewer said official job figures for June to August showed the economic inactivity rate for working-age adults fell UK-wide compared with the previous year.
But he pointed out that the trend had moved in the other direction for Scotland.
Mr Brewer said: "When you break down the Scottish figures, you see that the inactivity rate for men has only increased very slightly over this period from 17.9% to 18%, but the female rate has risen much more markedly from 24.5% to 26.5%.
"Our recent work...suggests that the health of the working age population is one factor but there is a challenge here to identify why this is happening and what - if anything - can be done to address it."
PwC said it expected UK inflation to rise to about 2.7% by the end of 2017 as the effects of a weaker pound fed through to consumers, squeezing real spending power.


In the early hours of 1 October 1965, seven military units moved through the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, heading to the homes of seven of the most senior generals in the army.

Three were killed, three captured, and one, armed forces commander Abdul Haris Nasution, escaped, although his five-year-old daughter was fatally wounded by gunfire.
The three captured generals were taken to the main airbase in south Jakarta and killed, their mutilated bodies stuffed down a well.
This incident profoundly changed the course of Indonesian modern history, leading to one of the worst mass killings of the 20th Century, wiping out the world's third largest Communist Party, and bringing to power a general who ruled for three decades and brought the country firmly into the US orbit during the Cold War.
Yet 50 years later, these events remain poorly understood in Indonesia, with the real actors behind the move against the generals and their motives still unclear.
The shadow of what followed hangs over Indonesian society even today, with millions of families scarred by the trauma of massacres and brutal imprisonment, or by the guilt of having taken part.
I was based in Jakarta as the BBC correspondent in the last two-and-a-half years of the long rule of President Suharto, the general who emerged as the victor of the 1965 events.
Every year, TV channels would show films depicting the official version of those events, and ceremonies would be held by the well on the airbase, now known as lubang buaya or crocodile hole.
This narrative had the attempted coup led by the Indonesian Communist Party, or PKI. It portrays the party cadres as depraved and vicious, inflicting dreadful suffering on the six generals and one lieutenant who were killed.
But more than that, this Suharto doctrine painted communism as an evil, atheistic force that could sweep back over Indonesia if people were insufficiently vigilant - and of course, it justified the continued rule by his authoritarian New Order.
I knew quite a lot about those events, having worked for years for an Indonesian human rights group in London.
But under Suharto it was impossible to talk freely about them. In rural villages in Java I would occasionally be shown where the killings of suspected communists had taken place.
Younger Indonesians would ask their parents for me, but get only silence in response.
Rivalries between the Indonesian military and the Communist Party came to a head when six generals were killed in an overnight attack by soldiers allegedly sympathetic to the communists
A group of officers led by a colonel in President Sukarno's palace guard was accused of trying to launch a coup
General Suharto led bloody anti-communist purges in which hundreds of thousands of suspected leftists were killed
Many more were detained and imprisoned without trial
Gen Suharto was handed emergency powers by President Sukarno in 1966 and took over as president the following year, ruling Indonesia for 31 years

I knew a few people whose lives had been blighted by the 1965 upheavals - unable to study at university, because a grandmother had been tainted by association with a communist group; unable to get a proper job because of once being imprisoned as a tapol, or political detainee.
Until 1995, former prisoners - and there had been 100,000 of them, held in appalling conditions, without trial, between 1965 and 1979 - had their national identity cards marked with the letters ET for ex-tapol.
To this day in Indonesia, ex-tapols complain about discrimination.
The fall of Suharto in a sudden burst of people power in 1998 lifted the pervasive fear, which had silenced all discussion of the 1965 events until then.
It has allowed survivors of the killing fields to learn for the first time that the official version they were fed was, in fact, largely propaganda.
Back in 1965, Indonesia was in a state of high tension. Its embryonic parliamentary system had been replaced in 1959 by the single leadership of the country's mercurial founding president Sukarno.
Rebellions and attempted coups had been put down; the country was in a constant state of near conflict; it had fought for, and won control of Dutch-administered New Guinea. Its troops were fighting British forces protecting the newly created federation of Malaysia.
Sukarno railed against US-led imperialism, and took Indonesia out of the UN. The economy was near to collapse.
In this ferment, the PKI, with three million members and perhaps 20 million sympathisers, pushed for more influence, while increasing its power in populous Java by promoting land redistribution, sometimes violently, usually at the expense of orthodox Muslim landowners.
The army, by then enjoying US training and a prominent role in state industry, saw the party as a threat, especially its efforts to win converts in the ranks. With Sukarno's health failing, a showdown seemed inevitable.
But the attempted putsch against the top generals was feeble and poorly planned.
Led by middle-ranking leftist officers, it had the support of only a few military units. The PKI leader, DN Aidit, was  involved in the planning, but the most important role was played by a mysterious agent called Sjam Kamaruzaman, who headed a little-known PKI unit, the Special Bureau, which aimed to infiltrate the ranks of the armed forces.
But most of the party was ignorant of the plot, and unprepared to take advantage of it.
Inexplicably, the plotters ignored Gen Suharto, who commanded the important Kostrad strategic reserve unit.
After Suharto's resignation in 1998, the only surviving plotter, Colonel Latief, explained that he had informed Suharto of their plans days before, and understood him to be on their side. It was a disastrous miscalculation.
Suharto led a swift and efficient counter-coup, dispersing the plotters within 24 hours. The PKI leaders were rounded up, some of them, like Aidit, summarily executed, others put through tribunals that saw many more executed later.
The army took control of the media, whipping up anger against the PKI.
And then the killings began. Within four months, at least 500,000 had died.
In 2001, I interviewed a man in the East Java town of Pasuruan, who took part in the killings.
We would march them down to the pier, he said, club them to death, and roll their bodies into the sea. They did not resist, and he spoke of  hundreds dying at that spot.
Like most of the inhabitants of that part of Java, he was a devout supporter of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), a traditionalist Muslim movement with tens of millions of followers.
They saw the PKI as godless rivals and were easily prompted to violence against its supporters. Later the charismatic leader of NU, Abdurrahman Wahid, a reformist Muslim who became president in 1999, used to tell me his knowledge of the terrible bloodshed carried out by NU followers in 1965 was the main reason he dared not back moves to unseat Suharto, for fear of further communal violence.
But we also now know that the mass killings usually started only after the arrival of military special forces, dispatched by Suharto to enforce his regime's authority. The army played a central role.
Those forces were lead by Colonel Sarwo Edhie, who happened to be the father-in-law of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the fourth president after Suharto, who stepped down only in 2014.
All of which helps to explain why, 17 years after the fall of Suharto, there is still no real debate about the events of 1965.
The military, which remains a powerful institution, has much to lose by having its murky role publicly discussed.
Millions of people who took part in the killings do not want to talk about them.
And the decades of intense demonisation of the PKI make it very hard for its sympathisers to speak out.
The astonishing twin films made recently by American director Joshua Oppenheimer, in which perpetrators and victims re-live their roles and their memories of the 1965 killings, have for the first time brought those events wider global attention.
They have been shown in Indonesia, and provoked reactions ranging from anger to bewilderment and, among a few Indonesians, curiosity to know more.
In some areas, family members have started excavating known mass graves in search of human remains.
A "people's tribunal" has been set up by activists in the Netherlands to document the human rights abuses of that period.
Indonesia's president, Joko Widodo, has promised a state-sponsored inquest, but has so far done little, and has refused to apologise to the victims on behalf of the state.
With every year, fewer of those who witnessed the terrible massacres are alive and able to testify.
Time is running out for a full accounting of the horrors of that time, and a chance to settle the ghosts of Indonesia's unhappy history.


Tranmere Rovers have agreed to sign striker Ben Burgess on a free transfer.

The 30-year-old had been available since his release from Notts County earlier this month and has signed a two-year deal at Rovers.
Burgess joined County in 2010, but ended last season at Cheltenham on loan, where he helped the Robins to the League Two play-off final.
He will join Rovers ahead of the new season, with his contract coming into effect on 1 July.
Rovers manager Ronnie Moore told the club website: "I'm delighted that Ben will be signing for us, we beat off several other clubs to secure his signature.
"Ben is the first of many new faces we'll have this summer and hopefully we'll have some more over the next few days and weeks."


Dundee United have signed defender Kyle Knoyle on loan from West Ham until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old England youth international is a full-back and arrives at Tannadice with Ryan McGowan preparing to join Henan Jianye.
Knoyle joined the Hammers as a 13-year-old and is under contract with the east London club until the summer of 2017.
He will not be included in the home squad for Saturday's visit of Kilmarnock.
"He's a very bright prospect," said manager Mixu Paatelainen. "He doesn't have too much experience but he is a good player.
"He can play in a couple of positions, so he'll be a good addition to the squad."
United are bottom of the Premiership, 14 points adrift of Killie, Hamilton and Partick Thistle.


A man has been arrested for disrupting a vigil to the victims of the Manchester suicide bombing.

A service was being held in Wrexham on Friday evening when a 49-year-old was arrested for public order offences.
The vigil was being held on Llwyn Isaf in the town.
Bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 people when he blew himself up as the victims left an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena on Monday.
Nine men - aged between 18 and 44 - are in custody on suspicion of terror offences in connection with the attack.
A total of 11 people have been arrested in the UK, including Abedi's 24-year-old brother Ismail, but two were later released.
A total of 66 people remain in hospital, with 23 in critical care.
Meanwhile, US singer Grande has said she will return to the "incredibly brave city" for a benefit concert.


More than 750 protesters in an Oxford suburb formed a human chain around a site earmarked for a £100m shopping and student residential complex.

Botley residents staged a red balloon Mexican wave to show "anger" at plans to demolish the existing precinct.
Oxford West and Abingdon MP Nicola Blackwood joined the protest and said the complex would increase congestion.
Developer Doric and Mace said it had continued to receive support from the "self-described silent majority".
Campaigners from West Way Community Concern do not want the development, that includes a supermarket, a six-screen cinema, 525 student homes, over-55 residential accommodation, and a Baptist church.
Campaign leader Chris Church said: "It will turn an area with a good mix of small independent businesses into a faceless shopping mall."
Huw Griffiths from Mace said: "It is widely accepted that the regeneration of Botley District Centre is much needed and overdue.
"Doric/Mace has answered calls made by the Vale of White Horse District Council and local residents to propose an exciting and vibrant development that will bring great benefits to those living and working in the area."


Thriller No Good Deed, starring British actor Idris Elba, has ended the four-week reign of Guardians of the Galaxy at the top of the US box office.

The film, in which Elba plays an escaped convict, made $24.5m (£15m) on its debut, almost double its budget.
Feel-good release Dolphin Tale 2 entered the chart at two, while sci-fi caper Guardians slipped to third.
Guardians is the biggest film of the year so far in North America, taking more than $300m (£184.7m).
The Marvel release becomes the first film of the year to pass that milestone, while its box office takings around the world have reached the $600m (£370m) mark.
Another notable new entry in the rundown is The Drop, starring the late James Gandolfini and British actor Tom Hardy, which landed in sixth spot after opening in a limited number of cinemas.
No Good Deed, which co-stars Taraji P Henson as a woman terrorised by Elba's character, was hailed as a success by makers Sony, who marketed the film heavily prior to release.
"It's a movie that we really loved and felt that it was going to win," said Rory Bauer, the company's head of distribution.
He praised the leading pair's fantastic chemistry for making it a box office draw.
Box office analyst Paul Degaradebian said the film is the first post-summer release to make an impression, just a week after the slowest weekend of the year so far.
Overall ticket receipts were down 23% on the same weekend of 2013.
The film chart is rejuvenated after last weekend, when there was no new release inside the top 10.
Elba is best known for his portrayal of Nelson Mandela in Long Walk to Freedom, and playing the lead role as maverick police detective John Luther on BBC TV, which earned him a Golden Globe award in 2010.


A man who spent more than 30 hours on the roof of a house has been brought down safely by police.

The 21-year-old went on to the rooftop on Cholmley Street, Hull, at about 03:55 GMT on Monday after police were called to a disturbance on Sunday.
He was later arrested on suspicion of assault and was questioned in custody.
Three men - two 19-year-olds and an 18-year-old - were held for the same offence and have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Police said officers would be carrying out "additional patrols in the area to reassure the public".
According to media reports, the man had asked for "a helicopter and a packet of digestives" during the stand-off.
Police were called at about 18:15 GMT on Sunday to the disturbance, which involved a number of men in the street and resulted in a 33-year-old man sustaining serious head injuries.
The victim was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary where he remains in a serious condition.


Surrey's hopes of boosting their promotion hopes with victory over Gloucestershire were dented by rain, with no play possible on day three.

The visitors were set to resume their first innings on 349-6, a lead of 116, with Ben Foakes on 140 not out.
But the weather in Bristol kept the players off the field throughout the morning session at Nevil Road.
And umpires Russell Evans and Graham Lloyd decided at 14:45 BST that there was no realistic prospect of play.
With only one day's play remaining, a draw is now the most likely result, barring a Gloucestershire collapse in their second innings.
Surrey began the game in second place in Division Two, 54 points clear of Glamorgan, with Gloucestershire fourth, a further nine points adrift.
