Back when this presidential campaign started what seems like a lifetime ago, there was ample speculation that an unconventional candidate like Donald Trump could shake up the electoral playing field.

Maybe his anti-trade rhetoric could put large swathes of the Midwest in play. Maybe he could be competitive in his home state of New York, or with the white, working-class portions of New England.
The wild-eyed optimists even cast furtive glances at blue-state bastion California.
Instead, as the months passed, the race appeared to be boiling down to the same old battleground states that had dominated recent contests - Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Virginia and Colorado moved a little more firmly into Hillary Clinton's camp, while Iowa tilted Republican.
So what, exactly, was Mr Trump doing in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, on Tuesday night? And why on earth was he in thought-to-be-firmly-blue Michigan and New Mexico earlier in the week?
Call it his Blue State Gambit. A last-minute push to see if Mrs Clinton is weak in any of her supposedly "safe states". Or maybe it's better termed a spaghetti-against-the-wall strategy - throwing everything out there, and seeing what sticks.
The electoral map presents a cold, hard reality that the Trump team surely recognises.
If you give the Republican every consensus toss-up state on the map right now - Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, Iowa, Arizona and half of Maine, that only gets Mr Trump to 268 electoral votes - two shy of the 270 necessary to put him in the White House.
That's the "Clinton firewall" staring Mr Trump in the face. He either has to win Pennsylvania or New Hampshire - which haven't budged from Mrs Clinton's column despite heavy efforts on both sides - or find a new way around the electoral blockade.
And so the Trump campaign is unrolling a $25m television advertising campaign that includes Wisconsin, New Mexico and Michigan. And the man himself travelled to western Wisconsin for the first time since April, giving a closing-argument stump speech to a packed crowd of around 3,000, with at least 1,000 more left outside.
He offered the usual condemnations of "crooked" Hillary Clinton, along with blistering attacks on Obamacare and current US trade policy.
In a new twist, he ended on an optimistic note - the kind of positive pitch that might play well with the disaffected Democrats and political independents who could help him carry purportedly pro-Clinton "blue" states.
"All we have to do is stop believing in our failed politicians and start believing in each other and our great country," he told the cheering crowd.

"There is no dream out of our reach. Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. The future lies with the dreamers, not the cynics."
If Mr Trump sounded re-energised, it was because just over a week ago, pundits and prognosticators were writing his campaign's epitaph.
He was sagging in the polls, and talk turned to how many congressional candidates he would drag down with him.
That was before a week of good news (or rather, bad news for Mrs Clinton). Some Obamacare-managed health insurance rates were going up, her campaign was beset by more embarrassing hacked emails and, the week's capstone, FBI Director James Comey sent his cryptic letter to Congress about a renewed investigation into the Democrat's private email server.
Now, if polls are to be trusted, the Trump campaign is showing signs of life. He's narrowing the gap in major national preference surveys and has pulled ahead in several of battleground state polls.
In Eau Claire, Mr Trump shared the stage with a who's who of Wisconsin politicians - Governor Scott Walker, Senator Ron Johnson (who is in a tight re-election race against former Senator Russ Feingold), Congressman Sean Duffy and Republican Party Chair Reince Priebus.
That should just about end talk of the Republican establishment turning its back on their presidential nominee in the dying days of the campaign.
It's looking more and more like the election is going to go down to the wire.
Although the latest Wisconsin poll shows Mrs Clinton with a six-point lead, outside the arena in Eau Claire Mr Trump's supporters were practically bubbling over with the possibility that Wisconsin could be in play.
"I think there's a lot more support than maybe we've probably been seeing," said Shannon Olson, who came to the rally with his young son, both wearing Trump-esque dark suit and red ties.
Mr Olson said Mr Walker's multiple victories in the state's gubernatorial races were evidence that Mr Trump could carry Wisconsin next week.
"There are Republican voters here," he said.  "And in an important election, we may see a different turnout this time."
He added that Mr Trump's talk about trade and bringing back manufacturing jobs would appeal to Wisconsin voters.
On the other side of a police cordon from the rally-goers, Beth Mule - one of about 50 anti-Trump protesters - painted a different picture.
"Scott Walker is an aberration," she said. "People are going to come to their senses, and I think we'll prevail on election day."
As she stared across at the Trump faithful streaming into the arena, she hoisted a sign over her head that read: "Some of you can't help it, but many of you should know better!"
A few yards away, Steve Unmus - another local schoolteacher - was a bit more cautious. He said that if Mr Trump was relying on Wisconsin, which hasn't been won by a Republican presidential candidate since 1984, as part of his path to the White House, he's in trouble.
"But ..." he added, followed by a long pause.
"Friday kind of freaked me out," he said, referring to the re-emergence of the Clinton emails story. "It's going to be close."
Is he worried?
"I've been nervous for about a year now," he said. "Literally."


Jenson Button says McLaren's current form is "embarrassing" after another difficult weekend, this time at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 2009 world champion dropped from 14th to 17th at the start before finishing in eighth place, one place ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It's a little bit embarrassing because we're not doing a very good job at the moment," said the Englishman.
"We are doing everything we can. Thanks for the support from the fans."
McLaren are enduring one of their worst starts to the season in their recent history, with hopes of a first constructors' title since 1998 fading by the race.
The team are sixth in the standings, 102 points behind leader Red Bull after five races. Their best finish so far came in China in April, when Button was fifth.
In the drivers' championship, Button and Perez are 72 and 77 points respectively behind leader Sebastian Vettel in his Red Bull.
McLaren made major design changes to their car for 2013, while most of their rivals took a more evolutionary approach, but the new car has suffered from a lack of aerodynamic downforce.
I got a bad start, dropping back to 17th, and I was in a whole world of pain right then
"We've got a lot of work to do," added Button, 33, after the race in Barcelona, won by Fernando Alonso. "There's a lot of useful information to go through from the new parts on the car and we've got some other parts coming for Monaco, too."
Although Button was unable to challenge for the big points, he took some consolation from the way the team's strategy helped him rise from 17th after the first corner to eighth at the finish.
"I got a bad start, dropping back to 17th, and I was in a whole world of pain right then," he said. "I just couldn't get any tyre temperature.
"It was a slow lap to grid for some reason. The leader can dictate pace and, when a Mercedes is dictating, it's very slow. It works for them but not for us.
"When we moved to the harder of the two tyre compounds after the first stop, the balance was much better. I overtook a Mercedes and beat some cars we didn't think we would.
"It's not fantastic, but to get through to eighth shows a good job by the team in terms of strategy."
This time last year, McLaren were second in the constructors' championship with 98 points. That compares to sixth place and 29 points in 2013
Perez, 23, rued the decision to go out in the final part of qualifying rather tactically not set a time to save tyres.
"I'm a bit disappointed," said the Mexican. "We didn't maximise the full potential of the car. I think we paid for what we did in qualifying by going out in Q3. We lost laps on the tyres there - and that really affected us.
"Our car is still improving, and I think we can do a slightly better job at Monaco. After that, I hope we'll be able to gradually close the gap to the cars in front of us over the next few races."
Team principal Martin Whitmarsh added: "We scored six points today and we aren't satisfied with that.
"Nonetheless, to score points with both cars in what was a decidedly technical race is a very creditable achievement and constitutes a solid platform from which to move forwards from here on in."


Portuguese authorities have granted permission for one site in the town of Praia da Luz to be examined as part the investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance, the BBC understands.

Permission has been granted for a "field operation" to begin on a section of private land, sources have said.
The Met Police, which is leading the investigation, declined to comment.
Met detectives are understood to have left Portugal after spending two days with Portuguese police in the Algarve.
BBC reporter Richard Bilton, in Praia da Luz, said Portuguese authorities had so far granted permission to begin a search on the land, which could begin in "days" or "weeks".
He said he had been told him that British teams want to conduct more searches, but have yet to make an official request, which could take "weeks" to process.
It is thought that Metropolitan Police detectives have discussed a timetable for investigative work that Portuguese police will carry out for the British team, he added.
The development comes after reports suggested search teams were expected to start excavating sites in the Praia da Luz resort where Madeleine - then aged three - went missing on 3 May 2007.
Met Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley this week said "activity" was expected to begin in Portugal "in the coming weeks".
It also comes after Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, posted a statement on the Find Madeleine website on Thursday criticising "media interference" over newspaper speculation in the case.
They warned they were "dismayed" at speculation which could "potentially damage and destroy the investigation altogether".
They added: "There is an on-going, already challenging, police investigation taking place and media interference in this way not only makes the work of the police more difficult."
"As Madeleine's parents, this just compounds our distress," they added.
The seventh anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance was marked on Saturday.
Scotland Yard launched a fresh investigation - codenamed Operation Grange - into Madeleine's disappearance last July.
In March, British police then said they were seeking an intruder who sexually abused five girls in Portugal between 2004 and 2006.
Detectives said the attacks happened in holiday villas occupied by UK families in the Algarve.

Tony Blair told Muammar Gaddafi to "step aside" and accept a "peaceful" change of government to prevent violent protests, phone transcripts reveal.

The calls were made a week after Libyan forces reacted violently to protests in Libyan cities in 2011.
In two calls, the ex-UK prime minister offered to help the dictator work with the US and EU to resolve the crisis.
But Gaddafi, who was overthrown in 2011, insisted the protests were a plot by al-Qaeda sleeper cells.
The transcripts were provided by Mr Blair's office to the Commons foreign affairs committee after he gave evidence at its inquiry last month into UK foreign policy towards Libya.
'Ready to fight'
In the calls, made on 25 February 2011, Mr Blair warned Gaddafi if he did not show he would "stand aside and go somewhere safe", it could result in "bloodshed for a lot of Libyan people".
He added that the situation could go "past the point [of no return]" within days.
But Gaddafi said his forces did not inflict violence on ordinary Libyan people and that the protests were an attempt by armed Islamic extremists to "control the Mediterranean... and then attack Europe".
He likened the protests to extremist violence in Afghanistan, Algeria, Nigeria and Pakistan and said Mr Blair's suggestions for ways forward sounded like "colonisation".
"If you want to reap Libya, we are ready to fight. It will be like Iraq," Gaddafi said, ending the conversation by telling Mr Blair to "leave us alone".
Foreign affairs committee chairman Crispin Blunt said evidence submitted to the Commons inquiry so far showed Western policy-makers were "less perceptive than Gaddafi about the risks of intervention for both the Libyan people and the Western interests".
He added the committee may consider whether Gaddafi's warnings about extremist groups were "wrongly ignored" because of the dictator's "otherwise delusional take on international affairs".
Mr Blair met Gaddafi on several occasions while prime minister, including at his desert base in Libya in 2004 and 2007.


Any plans to introduce a test for Down's syndrome within NHS maternity services in Wales need to be "carefully considered", a charity has said.

Public Health Wales (PHW) has confirmed a project has been set up to "scope" non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
The Down's Syndrome Association in Wales stressed that, although the elective test could better inform pregnant women, it is not diagnostic.
The Welsh Government said it would make an announcement "in due course".
NIPT is considered a safer, more accurate test for Down's syndrome, which reduces the risk of miscarriage.
It will be rolled out in England from 2018 following a recommendation by the UK National Screening Committee.
Calls have previously been made for the NHS in Wales to fund the test.
Julian Hallett, from the Down's Syndrome Association in Wales, said that, in order for women to obtain a confirmed pre-natal diagnosis, they would still need to undergo an invasive procedure.
He said there should be no rush to implement NIPT in Wales until NHS staff were ready to support women and explain the new choices for screening.
"The fact England are going ahead and Wales hasn't as yet, I don't see as problematic," he said.
"In some ways, I think if Wales looked to see how it's implemented in England, we can then reflect on what has been learnt.
"The Welsh Government will need to look at how health boards across Wales collect samples, where they will be tested and, crucially, midwifes and screening coordinators will need to be trained about the system and have up-to-date, balanced and accurate information about the conditions being tested for."
Mr Hallett also stressed the importance of health professionals, such as midwives and screening coordinators, being properly trained about the genetic condition.
"Those women who receive NIPT results will be placed in a position which may lead some to make a decision on whether they continue with their pregnancy. It's a life-changing decision," he said.
"Many parents report the information they get from health professionals is too negative.
"We want to be able to ensure they balance that by giving positive information about the condition and explain the increased opportunities for children and adults with Down's syndrome today."
He said it was also vital women have "rapid access" to appropriate counselling, so they can make an informed decision which is right for them.
Dr Sharon Hillier, acting director of PHW's screening division, said: "A project has been set up to scope and take this work forward for Wales, which has been led by Public Health Wales.
"The Wales Screening Committee recently considered options for the implementation of NIPT in Wales and advice for ministers is currently being prepared.
"The Welsh Government will make an announcement in due course and this will inform how this work will be taken forward in Wales."


Taliban leader Mullah Omar died two years ago in Pakistan, a spokesman for Afghanistan's security services says.

Abdul Hassib Seddiqi told the BBC's Afghan Service that Mullah Omar had died of health problems at a hospital in Pakistan.
Afghanistan's government says information on his death is "credible".
The latest reports of Mullah Omar's death are being taken more seriously than previous such reports. The Taliban are expected to issue a statement soon.
Sources at the Taliban's two main councils in Quetta and Peshawar in Pakistan told the BBC they were in intensive talks to agree on a replacement for Mullah Omar.
A statement from the office of Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani said that it believed, "based on credible information", that Mullah Omar died in April 2013 in Pakistan.
The Afghan government, elected last year, has embarked on a peace process with the Taliban. In its statement, the government called on "all armed opposition groups to seize the opportunity and join the peace process".
A security official in Pakistan, the country hosting the talks, told AP news agency that the claims of Mullah Omar's death were mere "speculation", designed to destabilise the negotiations.
Pakistan has always denied that Mullah Omar was in the country.
The White House says it believes reports of his death are credible.
Who is Mullah Omar?
Lyse Doucet: What is the future for the Taliban?
The Taliban leaders and members of their religious council (shura) have been locked in talks since Tuesday to elect the new supreme leader.
Who they choose is crucial. The selection of his successor will have a big impact on the war and peace in Afghanistan as well as on the future of the Taliban movement itself. The decision will affect the peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban.
Mullah Omar's death and the choice of his successor will also have an impact on the unity and cohesiveness of the Taliban.
Mullah Omar was the glue that held the movement together since it was launched in 1994. He had become a mythical figure within the group and was "religiously" obeyed by the ranks and files all along.
The selection of a weak person or someone with a questionable legitimacy could result in the fragmentation of the Taliban and possible defections to the Islamic State.
Mullah Omar led the Taliban to victory over rival Afghan militias in the civil war that followed the withdrawal of Soviet troops.
His alliance with al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden prompted the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
Mullah Omar has since been in hiding, with a $10m (Â£6.4m) US state department bounty on his head.
Over the years, the Taliban have released several messages purported to be from the fugitive leader.
The latest of these statements, from mid-July, expressed support for the peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government.
However, the message was in the form of a text published on a Taliban website, rather than an audio or video recording - fuelling rumours that the leader was dead or incapacitated.
The failure to prove that Mullah Omar was alive was a major factor behind the defection of several senior Taliban commanders to the so-called Islamic State group, according to the BBC's former Kabul correspondent, David Loyn.


Four justices wrote dissents from the Supreme Court's decision legalising same-sex marriage throughout the US, but the ones by Justice Antonin Scalia and Chief Justice John Roberts were stylistic counterpoints.

Mr Scalia flashed anger, railing against an elitist majority on the Supreme Court who were imposing their values on "320 million Americans coast-to-coast".
"They are willing to say that any citizen who does not agree with that, who adheres to what was, until 15 years ago, the unanimous judgment of all generations and all societies, stands against the Constitution," he writes.
He called the decision a "judicial Putsch" and "a threat to democracy", in which the majority discovered a right to marriage that all the US legal minds before them had overlooked.
By broadening its interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment equal protection of the law guarantee to include a universal right of same-sex marriage, he argued, the Court has given itself unlimited power. "It stands for nothing whatever, except those freedoms and entitlements this Court really likes," he writes.
Mr Roberts's dissent was more restrained, akin to a resigned shake of the head. He cloaked his opinion in warm words for the gay rights activists he knew would cheer the court's action.
"Many people will rejoice at this decision, and I begrudge none their celebration," he writes. "But for those who believe in a government of laws, not of men, the majority's approach is deeply disheartening."
He warns, however, that there is a dark side to achieving their objective by judicial fiat.
"However heartened the proponents of same-sex marriage might be on this day, it is worth acknowledging what they have lost, and lost forever: the opportunity to win the true acceptance that comes from persuading their fellow citizens of the justice of their cause," he writes.
It is the role of legislatures to determine social policy, he concluded, not judges.
Outside the court chambers, conservative commentators echoed these feelings of both anger and foreboding in their response to the decision.
The chief justice's opinion "blows the majority's opinion out of the water", say the editors of the Federalist.
"The majority opinion, as one might expect given the scant evidence that the plain text of the Constitution explicitly guarantees a right to gay marriage, is a total mess," they write. "It's tough to make a solid legal argument when you start with a conclusion - X is a good idea, therefore X is constitutional; Y is a bad idea, therefore Y is unconstitutional - and then reason backwards."
The Heritage Foundation's Ryan T  Anderson tweets that the court's decision is a "significant setback for all Americans who believe in the Constitution, the rule of law, democratic self-government".
The National Review's David French leans more toward Mr Scalia's logic, as he contends that by making the case for marriage equality in terms of dignity and personal fulfilment, the court endorses a "secular theology of self-actualisation" that is incompatible with Christian faith.
"This is the era of sexual liberty - the marriage of hedonism to meaning - and the establishment of a new civic religion," he writes. "The black-robed priesthood has spoken. Will the church bow before their new masters?"
"Gay marriage isn't a game or a mere wedge issue," tweets Breitbart's John Nolte. "It's the camel nose in the tent in the left's ultimate goal of destroying the church."
Much of the media and corporate world hailed court's decision on Friday. Websites like the Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and Mediate added rainbow colours to their logos, as did companies like American Airlines and Chipotle.
Many conservatives are vowing to push back against the tide, however. According to RedState's Niel Stevens, conservatives need to take action.
"It's time to defy the court on this," he writes. "It's time to fight back. Nonviolent civil disobedience is the only option we have been left under this terrible ruling."


Up to 50 jobs could be lost at Reading Borough Council as its budget is reduced by £39m until 2019.

The voluntary sector could face reductions of 45%, libraries could be closed and charges for parking permits will be increased as part of the cuts, the Labour-run council said.
It said it would have made £110m worth of savings since 2011.
Council leader Tony Page said local government had trimmed the fat and now faced having "its limbs amputated".
No details have been released about which departments could cut jobs.
Adult social care also faces being cut.
Reading Borough Council said residents' first parking permit would remain free but the cost of a household's second permit would increase from £80 to £120 and the cost of the third would go up from £160 to £240.
The authority's net annual budget for the year 2019 will be £83 million.


A 22-year-old man has been seriously injured after he was abducted in Strabane, County Tyrone.

The man was walking in Carlton Drive at about 23:00 BST on Thursday when he was pulled into a grey van.
A hood was placed over his head, and his hands and feet were tied. The van was driven out of the town and the man was assaulted by a number of men.
Paramilitary involvement is one line of enquiry, according to the police.
Det Sgt Brian Reid said the man sustained serious injuries including "a large gash to the head and a suspected broken arm".
"While the injuries are not life threatening, this was a horrifying attack that will have had a major impact on the victim and his loved ones," he said.
"There can be no justification for criminal groups carrying out such brutal attacks, attempting to control communities through fear and violence."
Police said that after the incident, the victim was driven back to the town and left in Bradley Way.
SDLP MLA Daniel McCrossan said: ""Strabane has witnessed a spate of attacks on individuals and families in recent months, which is completely unacceptable.
"The message must be put out there, and it must be clear, that these attacks have no place in our society."


Officials in Wisconsin are preparing to conduct a full recount of the votes from the US election in the state, which was narrowly won by Donald Trump.

A formal request for the recount was filed by the Green Party's Jill Stein.
Dr Stein, the Green Party's candidate, has also pledged to file for recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Lawyers for Hillary Clinton's campaign say they will participate in the Wisconsin recount, though it is thought highly unlikely the result will change.
The result would need to be overturned in all three states to change the outcome of the election.
The Clinton campaign's general counsel, Marc Elias, said there was no evidence to conclude the election was sabotaged, but "we have an obligation to the more than 64 million Americans who cast ballots for Hillary Clinton to participate in ongoing proceedings to ensure that an accurate vote count will be reported".
Dr Stein reportedly wants to make sure computer hackers did not skew the poll in favour of Mr Trump.
US election results
In statement, the Wisconsin Elections Commission said it had received two recount petitions from the Jill Stein campaign and from Rocky Roque De La Fuente, a businessman who ran unsuccessfully to be the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.
"The Commission is preparing to move forward with a statewide recount of votes for President of the United States, as requested by these candidates," said Wisconsin election commission administrator Michael Haas.
He said the recount would begin in the week after Dr Stein's campaign has paid the fee, which the commission was still calculating.
Dr Stein's campaign needs to raise millions of dollars to cover the fees for the vote recount in all three states.
Dr Stein's website says nearly $5.3m (Â£4.2m) has already been raised toward a $7m target. It says this is enough to fund the recounts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Concerns over possible Russian interference had been expressed in the run-up to the vote.
Voting rights lawyers who urged candidates to request recounts, John Bonifaz and J Alex Halderman, have said the results need to be closely analysed.
However, the fact that the results in the three states were different from what polls predicted was "probably not" down to hacking, Mr Halderman said.
"The only way to know whether a cyber-attack changed the result is to closely examine the available physical evidenceâ€Š," he wrote.
The deadline for the petition for the recount in Wisconsin was Friday, while Pennsylvania's deadline is Monday, and Michigan's is Wednesday.
Wisconsin provides only 10 votes in the crucial electoral college that gave Mr Trump victory in the 8 November election.
Wins there for Mrs Clinton, as well as in Michigan (16 electoral votes) and Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), would have clinched the presidency for the Democrat.
US officials have said there was no evidence of election tampering in the three states where Republican candidate Donald Trump had razor-thin victories over his Democratic rival.
Mr Trump's camp has made no public comments on the recounts issue.
Mr Trump won 290 electoral votes in the November election, while Mrs Clinton had 232 votes.
Michigan is yet to declare final results.


A man has appeared in court charged with murdering his six-month-old daughter on Christmas Day.

Aya Parker died in the early hours of Sunday morning despite the efforts of police and paramedics at a property in Britton Gardens in Kingswood, Bristol.
Lee Parker, 33, of Britton Gardens, appeared before Bristol Magistrates' Court on Thursday to face the murder charge.
He was remanded in custody to appear before the court again on Friday.
Mr Parker was charged on Wednesday.
At the short hearing, no details about the case were given and he was not asked to enter a plea.
Chair of the bench Louise Perkins told Mr Parker that his case would now be dealt with by the crown court.


Wakefield held off a Leigh fightback to move up to sixth in Super League.

The visitors raced into a 20-0 lead with tries from Jacob Miller, Danny Kirmond and Reece Lyne but Curtis Naughton, Jamie Acton and Matty Dawson had Leigh back in it at the break.
Dawson got his second before Naughton completed his double to give Centurions a 26-22 lead.
However, Joe Arundel and Mason Caton-Brown ran in and Kirmond touched down again to give Trinity the win.
Leigh will take heart from their performance but defeat means they have now lost eight consecutive games in all competitions and they will slip to the bottom if Widnes beat Hull FC on Sunday.
The hosts looked like they would be blown away after Wakefield built a 20-0 lead in 14 minutes after Miller had crossed inside just three and Kirmond grabbed his first try before they had touched the ball again.
After Lyne completed their early blitz Centurions coach Neil Jukes saw his side score five unanswered tries before Danny Tickle was sent to the sin-bin shortly after Arundel's try had handed the advantage back to Wakefield.
Trinity made the most of their extra man, with Caton-Brown darting over and Kirmond wrapping up the win under the posts.
Leigh coach Neil Jukes:
"I wasn't pleased with effort in the first eight minutes when all we did was defend.
"We were soft defensively but when we started to get a grip on things we gave ourselves a chance.
"We showed great character to fight back from 20-0 down and then be in front. But again it was a case of not having the quality to make the right calls at the right time and we are missing that bit of quality."
Wakefield coach Chris Chester:
"It was a bizarre game. We controlled the ball really well and for about 10-15 minutes I don't think Leigh touched the ball.
"We deserved the two points but we allowed Leigh back into the game with some poor discipline. Leigh are a good side and we knew they were going to challenge us.
"We are pleased to get a win because this is a tough place to come and the crowd got behind them."
Leigh: McNally, Dawson, Crooks, Brown, Naughton, Hampshire, Drinkwater, Hock, Pelissier, Green, Tickle, Hansen, Stewart.
Replacements: Hood, Burr, Acton, Weston.
Wakefield: Grix, Jones-Bishop, Lyne, Arundel, Caton-Brown, Miller, Finn, Huby, Wood, Fifita, Ashurst, Kirmond, Hadley.
Replacements: B. Tupou, Sio, Arona, Hirst.

Northern Ireland Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill has met Environment Secretary Liz Truss in London to seek support in lobbying the European Union over the dairy crisis.

Ms O'Neill said she had asked Ms Truss to press the EU for an "increase in its intervention threshold".
It follows farmers' protests over the milk price slump.
"We had a frank and constructive discussion with Liz Truss today," Ms O'Neill said.
"It was very important for her to understand the difficulties facing farmers in the north.
"Farm gate milk prices are now below the cost of production and I asked the Secretary of State to support me in pressing for more effective EU support.
"This cannot be solved at local level. It needs concerted action. That is why we are working with the banks and representatives of the dairy and retail sectors."
Ms O'Neill said Ms Truss had acknowledged that there was a "unique and extreme set of circumstances facing dairy farmers" in Northern Ireland.
"She said that she was committed to taking action and I will meet her again next week - along with Scottish and Welsh ministers - to continue to press her to take that action," Ms O'Neill added.
"There was also recognition at the meeting that volatility of prices affected other sectors too."
Ms O'Neill said she had also raised the issue of prices and the need for proper EU support with EU agriculture commissioner Phil Hogan.
She said she planned to attend the EU ministers of agriculture meeting in Brussels on 7 September to "press for a review of the current intervention price, which was last reviewed in 2008".
"Today, I asked the Secretary of State to support me with ensuring that this vital safety net for our farmers is set at a realistic level," she added.
Ms O'Neill was joined at the meeting in London on Tuesday  by Ulster Farmers Union president Ian Marshall and Northern Ireland Director of Dairy UK, Mike Johnston.


Norman Baker, the former Lib Dem Home Office minister, has said his political career is over after he lost his Lewes seat to the Conservatives.

Mr Baker, an MP since 1997, resigned as a minister in November after a public spat with the Home Secretary Theresa May over UK drugs laws.
Fellow Lib Dem Stephen Lloyd has lost his Eastbourne seat to the Tories.
Caroline Lucas held on to Brighton Pavilion for the Green Party while Labour won Hove back from the Tories.
Peter Kyle took the seat with a majority of 1,236 over the Conservatives. The Lib Dems came fifth, behind the Greens and UKIP.
Ms Lucas, who won with a majority of almost 8,000, said: "We've shown we can represent the people."
Amber Rudd retained Hastings and Rye seat for the Conservatives. The seat was one of Labour's target seats.
Maria Caulfield, who won the Lewes seat for the Conservatives, said: "I'm over the moon - it was a very close election.
"The incumbent MP had been here for 18 years and certain things hadn't happened which people feel strongly about, including improvements to the A27, the rail service and Newhaven town."
She said people were also concerned about health services moving from Eastbourne District General Hospital to Hastings.
"The national scene probably takes precedence and people were choosing their next prime minister," she said, adding Mr Baker had been a hard working MP.
Mr Baker said: "I don't think it was about anything which happened here. We ran a good campaign.
"This is about the national picture and fear of the SNP.
"My political career is finished as far as I'm concerned. I shall now do something else. I will not be standing for Parliament again."
Defeated Mr Lloyd, who had won Eastbourne from the Tories in 2010, said: "To serve a town like Eastbourne and the people of Eastbourne is such an enormous privilege, I've just loved it.

Al-Shabab Islamist militants have attacked a hotel in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, killing at least 15 people.

Gunmen used two car bombs to blast their way into the Sahafi hotel compound before storming the building, police said.
Victims included at least one MP and the general who led the 2011 offensive that drove al-Shabab out of Mogadishu.
African Union troops and government forces say they have regained control of the hotel after a fierce gun battle.
The hotel is popular with Somalia's members of parliament.
A website associated with al-Shabab said it was responsible for the attack, which it said was carried out early in the morning to avoid civilian casualties.
This is a clear change in strategy, says BBC World Service Africa editor Mary Harper. Until now, attacks in Mogadishu have been carried out during the day and evening, killing civilians who happen to be in the targeted area.
The owner of the hotel and Gen Abdikarim Dhagabadan, who commanded the operation against al-Shabab in 2011, were among the victims.
The attack comes a day after deadly clashes between jihadist fighters and African Union (AU) troops in the Bakool region near the border with Ethiopia.
The AU is helping the government battle al-Shabab.
Security in Somalia has improved, but the al-Qaeda linked group still attacks Mogadishu regularly.
The militants have also targeted neighbouring countries, killing almost 150 people in an assault on Garissa University College in Kenya in April.


Saido Berahino has faced West Brom dressing room "banter" about his threat to go on strike on deadline day, says his captain Darren Fletcher.

The Baggies turned down four bids from Tottenham for the 22-year-old striker, including two on 1 September.
He went on Twitter to indicate he would never play for Albion again but he came on against Southampton on Saturday.
"The lads have given him some stick. Sometimes it's the best way because it takes away the tension," Fletcher said.
"When somebody comes in and there is a little bit of banter, I'm sure he feels like one of the lads again."
Scotland midfielder Fletcher, who is not on Twitter, said: "It's about emotions really.
"You can do silly things and when you're on Twitter it allows you to voice your opinions. If he had sat quietly for 48 hours he wouldn't have done it."


The FBI investigated threats against Manchester United's late owner Malcolm Glazer and his family, newly released documents have revealed.

Threatening calls and emails were made to the billionaire, whose 2005 takeover of the club was fiercely opposed, according to Associated Press.
One threat involved a man with a British accent who made menacing calls saying he wished Mr Glazer was "dead".
No-one was charged as the source of the threats could not be identified.
The FBI released more than 120 pages of records, including details of the threats, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Associated Press news agency.
The papers show that on 12 May 2005 - the day Mr Glazer became the majority shareholder at Old Trafford - a man with a British accent called the headquarters of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the American football franchise also owned by the Glazer family.
He ended the call by saying he wished Mr Glazer was dead.
A second call, made by a man identifying himself as a member of a supporters' group, warned that Mr Glazer's family would be in danger unless he backed down from his takeover bid.
In a third call, a man claiming to be the same caller said he knew people who "were ready to take action against Glazer".
The caller said: "I am giving you another warning" and set a deadline for Mr Glazer to abandon his takeover bid.
Glazer, who never actually set foot inside Old Trafford, gradually bought out United shareholders between 2003 and 2005 before launching a £790m takeover largely funded by loans secured against the club's assets.
At the time, many Manchester United supporters opposed foreign ownership, and launched protests, fearing the businessman could sell off the stadium, raise prices and saddle the club with debt.
Greater Manchester Police also investigated alleged threats made against the American, who died in May aged 85, but no-one was charged.


Alan Solomons hailed the impact of John Hardie after Edinburgh's impressive 23-11 victory over Glasgow Warriors.

New Zealand-born flanker Hardie joined the club after a fine Rugby World Cup campaign with Scotland, and scored a crucial late try at Murrayfield in a brilliant all-action display.
"He is a terrific player," head coach Solomons told BBC Scotland.
"And it's only when you're involved with him and coach him that you appreciate just how good he is."
While deflecting any personal plaudits, Solomons stressed the importance of the 1872 Cup derby fixtures, concluding with the second leg at Scotstoun next Saturday.
"I think the league points are critical, but the 1872 Cup is equally critical," he said. "It's a fantastic derby.
"I've been involved in some big derbies over the years, and this is one of the best. It serves a dual purpose: the league points are critical, but the 1872 Cup is a big, big thing.
"We've put ourselves in a decent position, but we are aware we've got a big task ahead of us at Scotstoun."
Hardie, 27, paid tribute to retiring team-mate, and fellow flanker, Roddy Grant, as well as veteran hooker Ross Ford, who made his 150th Edinburgh appearance.
"To get that win on Fordy's 150th and Roddy's retirement, I thought I owed something in that number seven jersey to Roddy," said Hardie. "He's been really great to me."
Hardie's try was his third in six games for the club, and while relishing the collisions on the field, off it he was taken by the atmosphere created by the 23,642-strong crowd.
"It was an awesome crowd; the atmosphere was unreal," he said. "It was up there with some Test match-level rugby - parts of it were that intense.
"When you're playing against your mates, you don't want them to get one-up on you, so I really enjoyed playing against some of them - they're class players."
Team-mate Matt Scott, the Scotland centre who also crossed the whitewash, admitted that "there is still a lot to come from Glasgow".
"Tonight I thought our tenacity in defence was great, we were hitting them back in the tackles," he said.
"Of course it's nice to get the points, but you don't look at it as a Pro12 game from a player's point of view, you're definitely looking at it as two legs.
"It's nice to get he four points tonight but we'd love it even more if we could back it up next week and retain the cup."


A group of sailors who were held hostage by Somali pirates for nearly five years survived in part by eating rats, one survivor has told the BBC.

Filipino sailor Arnel Balbero said they were also only given small amounts of water and felt like "the walking dead" by the end of their ordeal.
The 26 sailors were seized on board their ship in 2012 and were eventually taken to Somalia.
They were freed on Saturday, reportedly after a ransom was paid.
The sailors were from China, the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Taiwan.
Mr Balbero was among the crew of the FV Naham 3 when it was captured by Somali pirates south of the Seychelles. One crew member was killed during the capture, according to non-governmental organisation Oceans Beyond Piracy.
A year later, the ship sank and the crew were brought onshore in Somalia. Two sailors subsequently died of illnesses.
Mr Balbero told the BBC that the last four and a half years had left him and his compatriots "like walking dead".
Asked how the pirates treated them, he said: "They give us small amount of water only... We eat rat. Yes, we cook it in the forest."
"[We] just eat anything, anything. You feel hungry, you eat."
He also spoke of their difficulties adjusting to life after their ordeal, saying: "I don't know what is... outside of this world when this finish, so it's very hard to start again."
The group are believed to be some of the last remaining captives held by Somali pirates, after a wave of hijackings in the mid-2000s.
Piracy off the coast of Somalia, usually for ransom, has reduced significantly in recent years, in part because of extensive international military patrols of the most vulnerable areas.
Separately a clip has emerged of the survivors, which appeared to have been taken in 2014 by the pirates amid negotiations as proof that the hostages were still alive.
The clip, released by a Taiwanese lawmaker who took part in the negotiations, shows the group of men looking thin and haggard and surrounded by masked gunmen.
It then cuts to a man identified by Taiwanese media as Shen Jui-chang, the Taiwanese chief engineer of the hijacked ship.
In the clip, Mr Shen says in Mandarin that the men were only given a litre of water a day to drink despite the heat. "There is no water, there is no food," he said, adding that "every one of us has some kind of illness".
"The pirates won't get medicine for you, they say that they don't have money to buy medicine. That's how two young men have already died for nothing," he says.
Taiwan's foreign affairs ministry said the men were freed after a ransom was paid by the ship's owner as well as groups contracted to negotiate with the pirates, Taiwanese media reported.
The ship was Omani-flagged but owned by a Taiwanese company.


Two people have been taken to hospital suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation after a house fire in Merthyr Tydfil.

Firefighters were called to the property in Ynysfach just before 04:00 GMT.

The Welsh Ambulance Service said two male casualties were taken to Prince Charles Hospital.


The Afghan government and its US and Nato allies have been fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan for the past 14 years.

But, despite the killing of thousands of militants, the insurgent group has retaken big chunks of the country.
There are three main reasons for this resurgence.
First, the end, in 2014, of the US and Nato combat mission and the withdrawal of most foreign forces from Afghanistan reduced the risk the Taliban faced of being bombed and raided.
The group was further emboldened by the comparative lack of interest from the international community and the diversion of its attention to crisis in other parts of the world, such as Syria, Iraq and Ukraine.
As the Taliban have overrun military bases, district centres and security check-points in different parts of Afghanistan, they have seized more weapons and have been using them in their fight against Afghan government forces. They have also captured dozens of Humvees and police vehicles, which they now drive in areas under their control.
Secondly, the Pakistani military's Operation Zarb-e-Azb, launched in the North Waziristan tribal area in June 2014, dislodged thousands of mainly Uzbek, Arab and Pakistani militants, who flooded into Afghanistan and swelled the Taliban's ranks.
The Taliban also reportedly moved a big number of their own fighters from Pakistan.
And finally, although the Afghan security forces have fought well against the insurgents over the past year, they lack certain capabilities and equipment especially air power and reconnaissance.
The political infighting in the central government in Kabul and the apparent weakness in governance at different levels is also exploited by the Taliban.
The presence of several thousand foreign fighters has further complicated the situation.
Afghan government officials said in June 2015 there were more than 7,000 foreign militants in Afghanistan. The Taliban have been bolstered by militants from the Middle East, Central Asian countries and Pakistan.
About a dozen militant groups, having different goals and agendas, are fighting in Afghanistan. A few of them have challenged the Taliban's supremacy, but most of them are directly or indirectly supporting the Afghan Taliban with money and/or manpower.
The emergence of so-called Islamic State (IS) also brought the Taliban and al-Qaeda closer, as never before, by challenging the legitimacy of both groups.
Although the priorities and strategies of the Taliban and al-Qaeda are different, the two groups have been helping each other in Afghanistan, while IS has tried to undermine both groups.
The al-Qaeda leader, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, renewed his pledge of allegiance to the Taliban's new leadership and accepted the authority of the Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour, in August 2015 and called on all jihadists (Islamist militant groups) to do the same.
Why Taliban special forces are fighting Islamic State
The Taliban - who remain the main insurgent group in Afghanistan - are now fighting on three fronts:
In effect, the group has been engaged in a continuous war against the US and Nato, and Afghan forces since 2001.
It has also been fighting IS since January 2015, when IS formed its so-called Khorasan Province branch, which is active across the whole of Afghanistan plus the adjacent parts of Pakistan, Iran and Central Asian countries.
The number of IS-inspired militants in Afghanistan is still low, and the group is not in a position to pose an existential threat to the Taliban in the near future, but it has created a headache nonetheless.
The third - and newest - front for the Taliban is the infighting with its own splinter group, which has diverted resources and attention.
The Taliban are very territorial and cannot tolerate the existence of other groups that challenge their supremacy and legitimacy.
In the past, they also fought against an older and comparatively minor Afghan insurgent group, Hizb-e Islami (HIG).
Since its launch in 1994, the Taliban have taken pride in their cohesiveness.
The group's unity and a devotional obedience to its founding leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, played a key role in its resilience and successes on the battlefield.
But this solidarity shattered in July 2015 when Mullah Akhtar Mansour was appointed new leader in a hasty transition after Mullah Omar's death was made public.
Some of the Taliban's political leaders and military commanders challenged Mullah Mansour's right to succeed and accused him of "hijacking the movement because of personal greed".
In early November 2015, a breakaway Afghan Taliban faction appointed its own leader, Mullah Mohammad Rasool (the governor of Nimroz during the Taliban regime), at a meeting of fighters in Afghanistan's western Farah province.
But the faction still hopes to reach a settlement with the main group - on the condition that Mullah Mansour is removed from leadership.
The head of the splinter group does not call himself the Amir ul-Mumineen (leader of the faithful) - the official title of the Taliban leader that makes him the political and military head and demands following his orders is a religious duty.
Soon after the splinter group was established, clashes erupted between the two sides, mainly in Zabul, Farah and Herat provinces, where the splinter group had established bases.
Fighters were killed and injured, mainly from the splinter group.
The casualties included Mansour Dadullah, the most powerful commander in the splinter group.
It is not established whether he was killed or seriously injured.
The split further entrenched when religious scholars on either side issued fatwas (Islamic religious edicts) against each other, justifying their positions on religious grounds.
At present, most Taliban leaders accept Mullah Mansour as leader.
He controls vast financial and military resources and, through recent victories on the battlefield, including the temporary capture of Kunduz in late September 2015 and the seizure of other areas in the south and north of the country, has further strengthened his position as the overall leader of insurgency.
But there are still a few Taliban heavyweights who have not publically endorsed him.
Meanwhile, both sides are lobbying to enlist the support of those prominent Taliban who have so far remained "neutral" as well as encourage others to dissent and join their ranks.
The Taliban launched their annual spring offensive in 2015, with a clear strategy to seize more territory, establish permanent bases in "secure" areas, where the leadership can live and operate in safety, and thus strengthen their bargaining position and gain maximum advantage at the negotiation table.
It is a strategy that reflects that of IS, which has established strongholds in Raqqa in Syria and Mosul in Iraq, where the group has a governance structure and a functional administrative system.
The Taliban now hold more territory than in any year since 2001. But they could not manage to capture and hold towns and provincial capitals - an objective they had planned to achieve before this winter.
And anyway the expansion of the Taliban's territorial gains doesn't automatically mean the collapse of the government in Kabul.
The stalled peace process is scheduled to restart soon. A meeting involving officials from Afghanistan, Pakistan, the US and China is due to take place in Islamabad next week to discuss the Afghan reconciliation process and draw a roadmap for talks with the Taliban.
But fighting between the Afghan government and the Taliban will probably continue, as the talks are unlikely to result in a quick political settlement.
The two sides are likely to remain in a "mutually hurting stalemate" until they reach a political settlement.
In addition to local dynamics, the war in Afghanistan has several regional and international dimensions.
There are four main parties in the Afghan peace process - the Afghan government, the Taliban, the US and Pakistan. (Many Afghan officials have long accused Pakistan of sponsoring the Afghan Taliban insurgency. Pakistan says it has contacts with the Taliban but doesn't control them).
Unless they are all on the same page and serious about reaching a political settlement, achieving a meaningful progress is unlikely.
The resolution of the problem and the ending of the conflict needs an internal consensus in Afghanistan and a multi-faceted and multinational approach involving the US and regional players.


JP Morgan Chase, the largest bank in the US, has revealed it is under investigation over currency trading.

The firm said the US Department of Justice (DoJ) had launched a criminal investigation, while other regulators are running civil investigations.
It added that possible losses from all its the legal proceedings could total $5.9bn (Â£3.7bn).
A number of other banks, including HSBC, RBS and Barclays, have recently set aside sums to cover similar probes.
Global lenders, such as Citigroup and UBS, are also being investigated over the alleged rigging of foreign-exchange rates.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, JP Morgan said that it was co-operating with authorities, and currently engaged in discussions aimed at "resolving their respective investigations".
But, the firm added, "there is no assurance that such discussions will result in settlements".
As well as the criminal investigation by the DoJ, JP Morgan revealed it also faces civil investigations by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and "other foreign government authorities".
Last year, JP Morgan Chase agreed to a record $13bn settlement with US authorities for misleading investors during the housing crisis.


The new Austrian owners of a Scottish manufacturing company are to close its factory in Falkirk with the loss of up to 53 jobs.

Green Machines Sweepers UK Ltd, which was founded by two brothers, is set to close its premises in Bankside before Christmas.
Production will move to a "third-party supplier" in Macedonia in the Balkans.
The company, formerly Applied Sweepers, said a decline in sales and a serious fire, were factors in the decision.
The fire, which happened in July, badly damaged the company's assembly hall.
The street-sweeping machines, famous for their quiet efficiency, have been used in locations across the world.
Founder Allan Galashan, who died in 2007, built the first sweeper in 1965 and was later joined by his brother Francis.
In the mid-2000s, Francis Galashan said: "We've supplied the machines from Broadway to Buckingham Palace, where we have royal assent from the Queen to clean up outside the palace.
"In America they can be found from San Francisco to Times Square.
"We even had the voice of actor Tony Randall installed in one of our machines telling people to 'Keep New York Tidy'."
In 2008, the Galashan family sold the firm to the Minnesota-based Tennant Commercial Cleaning Company for $68m (Â£54m).
Then at the end of February this year it was sold on again to Austria-based M and F Management and Financing, which had formerly acted as Tennant's distributors in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
M and F Management and Financing chief executive Otto Rainer said the company planned "to close their manufacturing facility in Falkirk and manufacture through a third-party supplier based in Macedonia".
Mr Rainer said: "The company has suffered from declining sales and suffered a fire in July 2016. Although a short-term solution was found, the disruption to the business of either relocating to new premises or the rebuild of the existing one, is substantial and unsustainable.
"The company sees the move as a viable solution to ensure continuation of the Scottish-born brand and ensure it can effectively compete in the marketplace.
"The company is in consultation with its employees but, should the solution be implemented, it may result in up to 53 redundancies."
M and F Management and Financing promised it would "engage" with Skills Development Scotland and government redeployment agency Pace (Partnership Action for Continuing Employment) as part of its "support to employees".
Falkirk Council leader Craig Martin said the local authority was "seeking a dialogue" with Green Machines.
He said: "This will allow us to better understand the reasons for the closure, consider any options, and at the very least lessen its impact for the workers involved.
"The company is a great example of an innovative product, developed locally and taken to a worldwide market.
"It has been based in the Falkirk area for more than 50 years, and is a big loss to our local economy."


Apple has released a new photo storage app for Macs, which can automatically store full-resolution images online.

The iCloud Photo Library syncs photos across devices while managing storage.
Users can opt to keep original high-res photos in the cloud with lower-res version on a Mac, PC or iOS device.
But critics highlight recent online photo security breaches and say Apple's storage fees are much higher than some of its competitors.
The iCloud Photo Library app responds to how much storage is left on each device.
It automatically downgrades the resolution of images held on a device as its storage space starts to run out - starting with the oldest images first - while ensuring they are still of suitable quality to be viewed full-screen.
If the user has a data connection and has chosen the online storage option for their full-res images, the app will download the larger original file as and when they need it. This could be for editing, zooming into the photo or for printing, for example.
Some experts wonder whether Apple's users are ready to trust the company with their photos after about 500 private pictures, mainly of celebrities, were stolen from the iCloud platform by hackers last year.
Apple later explained that this had happened as the result of a targeted attack in which the intruders had successfully obtained or guessed users passwords to its service, rather than hacked the platform.
Last October, Apple issued another security warning to its iCloud users, saying: "We're aware of intermittent organised network attacks using insecure certificates to obtain user information." It said its own servers had not been compromised.
Martin Garner, mobile services expert at CCS Insight, said: "People are sharing enormous trust when they use services like these. It's not just Apple - many other providers have also suffered breaches recently. But users will need to think about security and accessibility."
Many online storage providers offer cheaper plans for the same or more data to be stored online than Apple's iCloud.
However, each offers different functionality regarding how it syncs with devices, and whether it works automatically or needs user intervention
Apple iCloud compared with other online storage providers
The iCloud Photo Library is the first to keep a lower-res image on the device while sending the original full-res image to the cloud.
Unlike a simple back-up or copying of photos, this means users can keep the images on their devices while maximising storage space.
However, many consumers may still prefer deals such as Amazon's "Unlimited Photos plan", which would cost a fraction of the price to maintain a large library.
"Apple will have to keep an eye on prices as the market in online storage is extremely competitive," said Mr Garner.
"Many of its competitors, like Dropbox, have apps available on the iPhone, so it needs to be wary that users do have a good amount of choice.
"Some services like Microsoft and Amazon also bundle online storage with other services like software subscriptions or movie streaming, so Apple may need to consider doing likewise."

Australia's PM Tony Abbott says there has been "contact" between Australia and European officials over the Mediterranean migrant crisis.

Mr Abbott said contact was at an "official level", however an EU spokeswoman said she was unaware of it.
Europe has recently seen a sharp increase in deaths among migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean.
Mr Abbott has said Europe should follow the Australian example and stop boats before they reach European waters.
Under Australia's controversial Operation Sovereign Borders any migrant boat approaching its territory is intercepted and sent back.
Migrants who reach Australian waters are detained offshore in centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea. No-one is given asylum in Australia.
After touring a maritime security operations centre in Canberra, Mr Abbott was asked by reporters on Monday if Europe had approached Australia for advice.
He said that "there has been some contact at official level between Australian people and Europeans," without giving further details.
European Commission spokeswoman Natasha Bertaud told reporters in Brussels that EU officials had not contacted Australia's authorities and had no intention of following its example.
As the EU applied a principle of not sending back victims of persecution to countries where they might be threatened, "the Australian method can thus never be an example for us", she said.
At least 1,750 people have died this year trying to reach Europe across the Mediterranean, a 20-fold increase on the same period in 2014 when 96 people died.
Over the weekend, more than 5,800 migrants were rescued and 10 bodies recovered off the Libyan coast, the Italian coastguard says.
In April more than 800 people died when their boat from Libya sank while crossing over to Italy.
That prompted an emergency meeting among European Union officials, who have since promised increased funding for rescue operations and tougher action on smugglers' boats.
Australia argues its policy saves lives at sea by deterring people smugglers, but critics say it is unethical.
In 2013 some 300 boats carrying illegal migrants reached Australia. In 2014, after the operation was launched, the number was just one.
Australia's policy was "an object lesson in how to do the right thing by everyone", including Australians and migrants, Mr Abbott said.
"If you want to keep life safe, you've got to keep the boats stopped."


A petition to allow gamers to run their own servers for the original World of Warcraft (WoW) game has attracted more than 100,000 signatures online.

Games studio Blizzard Entertainment no longer operates servers for the original WoW, which was first released in 2004, so some fans run their own.
On 10 April, a popular fan server known as Nostalrius, with 150,000 active members, was closed after the threat of legal action by Blizzard Entertainment.
Blizzard has not responded to the BBC.
World of Warcraft is an online multi-player game in which players explore a vast landscape, complete quests and interact with other gamers.
The original game from 2004 has since been updated with new instalments that some players say have materially changed the experience of the game, so some fans have set up their own servers to play the original, "vanilla" WoW.
Blizzard has previously said it had no plans to reopen access to the "classic" game.
"We realise that some of you feel that World of Warcraft was more fun in the past than it is today, and we also know that some of you would like nothing more than to go back and play the game as it was back then," wrote a Blizzard community manager in 2011.
"The developers however prefer to see the game continuously evolve and progress, and as such we have no plans to open classic realms or limited expansion content realms."
The decision to close fan-run server Nostalrius, which had attracted 800,000 players during its year online, has prompted anger from parts of the online gaming community.
Many who commented on the closure acknowledged the fact that running servers such as Nostalrius was technically illegal but said Blizzard should support non-profit fan-driven projects to keep the game going.
"World of Warcraft meant a lot, to a lot of people," said YouTube gamer Jon Jafari in a widely-shared video.
"It might seem silly because it's just a game... but this game was a big part of my life and a lot of people's lives. All these people want to do is go back and play it.
"If the server is making a profit, I can see them taking down something like that - but a lot of these are just for the love of the old game."
Commenting on its closure, the team behind Nostalrius posted: "We never saw our community as a threat for Blizzard. It sounds more like a transverse place where players can continue to enjoy old World of Warcraft's games no longer available."


Watford midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah says he decided to leave Chelsea as he would have "got frustrated" at being sent out on loan again.

The 22-year-old came through the youth system at Stamford Bridge but spent time on loan at six different clubs.
Chalobah joined Watford for a reported £5m fee on a five-year deal last month, having made 15 appearances for Chelsea - all last season.
"I wanted to come out and play," Chalobah told BBC Three Counties Radio.
Chalobah signed professional terms with Chelsea in 2012 and regularly captained both the reserve and youth sides.
He found a path to the first team difficult, instead making temporary moves to Watford, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Burnley, Reading and Serie A side Napoli.
Many Chelsea players are sent out elsewhere; the club have 25 players on loan at clubs around England and Europe.
Chalobah added: "Being at Chelsea, I would have signed a new deal and gone out on loan again and got frustrated. That was the choice I had to make, but it was emotional leaving Chelsea.
"The conversation I had with the manager Antonio Conte was positive but it was a decision I had to make after being on loan six times."
Chalobah spoke highly about his loan spell at Vicarage Road in 2012-13, when he made 42 appearances.
He said: "Watford was my first loan and things went well. It was my best loan and positive when I was here.  I was looking forward to coming back."
Chalobah was part of the England Under-21 side who reached the semi-finals of the European Championships in Poland in June.
He is aiming to break into the senior England side, who face Malta and Slovakia in their next World Cup qualifiers in September.
"It is an opportunity for me," he said. "England manager Gareth Southgate has always said that if I am doing well at my club, he likes what he sees, then there is a definite chance of getting in his team. I have got to grasp it with both hands and put the performances forward.
"He has had this conversation with the whole of the Under-21s and made it clear. He has drafted in Southampton's Nathan Redmond and James Ward-Prowse who are the same age as me.
"That is positive because it shows if you are doing well at your club, there is no reason why you won't get your chance."


A Conwy county crematorium has started offering mourners the chance to watch funerals online if they cannot make a service.

Colwyn Bay crematorium will run a webcast for absent family and friends so they can still pay their respects.
Conwy council said the move will make services more accessible and "give people the opportunity to pay their respects, wherever they may be".
CD and DVD recordings of services are also going to be available to buy.


Scott Kashket's hat-trick helped League Two side Wycombe cruise into the third round of the FA Cup with a 5-0 win over 10-man League One side Chesterfield.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Paul Hayes headed the Chairboys in front before Kashket slotted in a second to make it 2-0 before half-time.
Chesterfield's Jon Nolan was sent off for a late tackle on Dominic Gape, and Kashket scored his second soon after.
Anthony Stuart volleyed in to make it 4-0, before Kashket's placed shot completed the rout late on.
The result caps a good week for Wanderers, who were able to pay off their debts to previous owner Steve Hayes on Thursday, thanks to money received from a sell-on clause triggered when Jordan Ibe moved to Bournemouth from Liverpool.
Gareth Ainsworth's side, who are seventh in the League Two table, have now won five straight games in all competitions,
The Chairboys also reached the third round of the FA Cup last season, taking then-Premier League side Aston Villa to a replay before losing 2-0 at Villa Park.

Wales coach Rob Howley insists enough players are being tried out despite using only 26 in the 2017 Six Nations.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Wales have capped just three new players since the 2015 World Cup, fewer than all their main rivals.
Howley has named an unchanged squad for the second match running against France following the 22-9 win over Ireland.
But Howley said: "We have blooded youngsters along the way. There's a queue coming behind that now and they'll be given the opportunity."
Howley continued: "Over the last eight or nine years, a lot have been blooded at a very young age.
"They've taken their opportunity and they're still very young."
Seven uncapped players were named in the 2017 Six Nations squad, but none have made it to a match-day 23.
Only Sam Davies, Cory Hill and Ellis Jenkins have made debuts since the 2015 World Cup.
Wales have consistently pointed to the June Tests against Samoa and Tonga as the chance to try out new options for the 2019 World Cup,  while some senior players will be on the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand.
"Canada in 2009, Japan in 2013, players were also blooded against the Chiefs on a Tuesday [in New Zealand 2016], so players have had exposure," added Howled.

Meanwhile, the chance of finishing the Six Nations campaign ranked fourth in the world, and among the top tier of seeds for the 2019 World Cup draw in May is a major incentive being used for the Paris match.
"We're all aware of May, and Rugby World Cup draw is pretty important," said Howley.
"That's been something in the back of our minds, things motivate us in different ways whether it's through fear or through ambition, they [the players] will use it.
"But ultimately they've got a chance to go into the Rugby World Cup ranked fourth."
Captain Alun Wyn Jones will make his 100th start for Wales at the Stade de France, with 6ft 8in Clermont lock Sebastien Vahaamahina as one of his direct opponents after recovering from a back injury.
"There's quite a few large men in their pack, to bring Vahaamahina in shows the strength in depth in their forwards" Jones said.
"Add that to the off-loading game and the physicality they have, it's a French team of old if you like. Physicality, go-forward, an off-loading game with a heavy set-piece.
"Coming off the back of a positive display [against Ireland], we need to back it up."


A man has been extradited from Pakistan and charged with the murders of two men who were discovered dead near Bradford five years ago.

The badly beaten bodies of Imran Khan, 27, and Ahmedin Khyel, 35, were found on the side of the road in New Lane, Tong, in May 2011.
Mohammed Zubair, 36, has been held in custody in Pakistan since 2013.
It was the first time in more than 10 years a suspect had been extradited to the UK from the country, police said.
Mr Zubair appeared at Bradford Magistrates' Court earlier where he was remanded in custody to appear before the city's crown court on Friday.
Live updates on this story and others from around West Yorkshire
A man was convicted of manslaughter in 2012 over the deaths and jailed for 10 years.
Sabir Hussain, of Wensleydale Road, Bradford, went on trial accused of murder but was cleared of those charges.
Det Supt Simon Atkinson said: "After five years, West Yorkshire Police has managed to arrange the extradition of Mohammed Zubair, who has been held in custody in Pakistan since November 2013.
"I would like to praise the Pakistani authorities for their assistance and endeavours in not only securing his arrest, but also ensuring his extradition back to the UK."


Two security guards were injured as a prisoner jumped from a private security firm's van in West Lothian.

Anthony Ferrie was being taken back to jail in a G4S vehicle following a visit to Livingston's St John's Hospital.
One officer was knocked unconscious and another suffered an arm injury during the escape at about 14:15.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Prison Service said: "We are aware that an individual has escaped from the custody of G4S while on a hospital escort."
She added: "We are assisting Police Scotland to apprehend them."
Willie Galloway, head of operations for G4S's custody transport in Scotland, said: "Two members of our crew were injured during the incident which left one unconscious and the other with an injury to their arm.
"While they both remain in hospital, their injuries do not at this stage appear to be life-threatening and we are supporting them and their families.
"We are assisting Police Scotland's inquiry to recapture this prisoner and are working with the Scottish Prison Service to understand the events leading up to this escape."
Ferrie, 33, was being held at Addiewell Prison in West Lothian.
He is described as white, 6ft tall and of slim build. He was wearing a blue sweater, jeans and trainers.
Ferrie, who police said should not be approached by members of the public, is believed to have links to Bellshill, Motherwell and Grangemouth.


Reading made it five Championship games without a win as they played out a goalless draw against Wolves at the Madejski Stadium.

The hosts had an early opening when Garath McCleary teed up Hal Robson-Kanu but Danny Batth was on hand to block.
James Henry almost gave Wolves the lead against his former club, only for his 20-yard effort to fly wide.
Paul McShane stopped Wolves stealing a late winner with a fine tackle to prevent Bjorn Sigurdarson shooting.
Wolves boss Kenny Jackett dropped £3m January signing Joe Mason - who scored within three minutes of his debut against Bolton - from his starting line-up.
But the result meant that the visitors, who won 1-0 against Reading on Boxing Day at Molineux, moved up a place to 11th in the table, but ended their league-leading streak of scoring in 11 consecutive games.
Reading also improved a place to 15th by virtue of goal difference after Leeds United lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest.

Wolves manager Kenny Jackett:
"We need a really good run. It's not impossible and we have keep driving forward.
"We won four games on the trot not so long ago, going from mid-table to floating around the edge of the play-offs. We're close to being a very good side.
"It was a hard battle today but it was a good performance from us. We controlled long spells of the game but couldn't quite get that goal."

Reading boss Brian McDermott:
"It was a tough battle in horrible conditions.
"Sometimes you get a clean sheet and a point, you take it and you move on.
"Wolves got a lot of men behind the ball but I didn't expect them to come here, play an open game and take us on."


The Church of England's investment success has pushed it into the top ranks of the world's best performing funds of its type last year.

The fund made a 17.1% return on its 2016 investments, more than double the 8.2% it made in 2016, according to the Church Commissioners annual report.
The Church Commissioners described it as a "stellar outturn".
The body is charged with managing the Church's assets in order to produce money to support its work.
Last year's performance means the fund has returned 9.6% a year for the past 30 years on average.
This puts it ahead of the top-rated Yale University endowment fund, according to the Financial Times.
The Church Commissioners said the performance had been partly driven by the drop in the pound following the Brexit vote, but said strong returns from its investments in global equities, private equity and timber had been "equally helpful".
The Church Commissioners secretary and chief executive Andrew Brown said in all it had contributed Â£230.7m to the Church of England last year.
"While this is only around 15% of the Church's overall income - most funding comes from the extraordinary generosity of parishioners - we are delighted to be able to play our part."
The Church's ethical investment policy dictates that all investments should be compatible with Christian values and "recommends against investment" in companies which make more than 3% of their income from pornography, 10% from military products and services, or 25% from other industries such as gambling, alcohol and high interest rate lenders.
However, in 2013 it emerged that the Church had invested indirectly in payday loan firm Wonga.
It was a particular embarrassment for the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, who had pledged to try to put Wonga out of business by helping credit unions compete with it.
Payday firms offer short-term loans, often at high interest rates, and have been accused of leading people into more debt.
The Church subsequently ended its investment in the firm.
Responding to the 2016 report, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said: "In a year which saw  considerable political turbulence, the Church Commissioners continued to provide effective stewardship of investments matched by ethical and responsible investment."

Thousands of rescuers have searched through the night for survivors following Wednesday's earthquake in a mountainous area of central Italy.

More than 240 people have died and at least 368 were injured, officials said.
Many people are still believed to be buried under rubble and more than 4,300 rescuers are using heavy lifting equipment and bare hands to find them.
Many of the victims were children, the health minister said, and there were warnings the toll could rise further.
Early on Thursday, Italy's civil protection authorities said a total of 247 people were now known to have died, with 190 deaths reported in Rieti province and 57 in neighbouring Ascoli Piceno province.
Rescuers said they had pulled five bodies from the ruins of the Hotel Roma in the historic town of Amatrice. Officials said about 35 people had been staying at the hotel and most had managed to get out. About 10 people were still unaccounted for, a local fire official said.
Late on Wednesday there were cheers in the village of Pescara del Tronto when a young girl was pulled alive from the rubble after being trapped for 17 hours. Almost all the houses there had collapsed, the mayor said.
The 6.2-magnitude quake hit at 03:36 (01:36 GMT) on Wednesday 100km (65 miles) north-east of Rome.
Hardest hit were the small towns and villages in the mountainous area where the regions of Umbria, Lazio and Le Marche meet.
People there spent the night outside or in tents provided by the emergency services.
Among the victims was an 18-month-old toddler, Marisol Piermarini, whose mother Martina Turco survived the deadly 2009 earthquake in L'Aquila and moved away from there after the experience, Italian news agency Ansa reported.
Ms Turco was being treated in hospital after being pulled from the rubble in the village of Arquata del Tronto, Ansa said.
The area has also been shaken by strong aftershocks, including a 4.7-magnitude tremor with its epicentre about 7km east of Norcia, according to the US Geological Survey.
The mayor of Amatrice said three-quarters of the town had been destroyed and no building was safe for habitation.
Many of those affected were on holiday in the region. Some were in Amatrice for a festival to celebrate a famous local speciality - amatriciana bacon and tomato sauce.
The country is no stranger to earthquakes: the 2009 L'Aquila tremor killed more than 300 people and in May 2012 two tremors nine days apart killed more than 20 people in the northern Emilia Romagna region.
Earthquakes are an ever-present danger for those who live along the Apennine mountain range in Italy.
Through the centuries thousands have died as a result of tremors equal to, or not much bigger than, the event that struck in the early hours of Wednesday. The modern response, thankfully, has been more robust building and better preparation.
Mediterranean seismicity is driven by the great collision between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates; but when it comes down to the specifics of this latest quake, the details are far more complicated.
The Tyrrhenian Basin, or Sea, which lies to the west of Italy, between the mainland and Sardinia/Corsica, is slowly opening up.
Scientists say this is contributing to extension, or "pull-apart", along the Apennines.  This stress is compounded by movement in the east, in the Adriatic.
The result is a major fault system that runs the length of the mountain range with a series of smaller faults that fan off to the sides. The foundations of cities like Perugia and L'Aquila stand on top of it all.


Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says David Cameron's veto of EU treaty changes was "bad for Britain" and could leave it "isolated and marginalised".

But he blamed French and German "intransigence" and pressure from Eurosceptic Conservatives for putting the PM in "a very difficult position".
Initially Mr Clegg said the coalition was united over the use of the veto.
But he told the BBC he had "made it clear" to Mr Cameron it was "untenable" for him to welcome the move.
Sources close to Mr Clegg have told the BBC he "couldn't believe it" when he was told the summit in Brussels had "spectacularly unravelled".
The prime minister blocked changes to the EU's Lisbon Treaty at an EU summit, arguing that the proposed changes were not in the UK's interest.
It now looks likely that all 26 other members of theEuropean Union will agree to a new "accord"setting out tougher budget rules aimed at preventing a repeat of the current eurozone crisis.
As leader of the Liberal Democrats, Mr Clegg is far more pro-European than his Conservative coalition colleagues.

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr programme: "I'm bitterly disappointed by the outcome of last week's summit, precisely because I think now there is a danger that the UK will be isolated and marginalised within the European Union.
"I don't think that's good for jobs, in the City or elsewhere, I don't think it's good for growth or for families up and down the country."
He said he would now be doing "everything I can to ensure this setback does not become a permanent divide".
The deputy PM said he had learned of the veto in a phone call from the prime minister at 0400 GMT, shortly before Mr Cameron gave a press conference announcing it publicly.
Asked what his reaction had been, the Lib Dem leader said: "I said this was bad for Britain.
"I made it clear that it was untenable for me to welcome it."

But French President Nicolas Sarkozy called those demands "unacceptable".
Mr Clegg said unwillingness to negotiate from France and Germany, combined with "outright antagonism to all things European" from parts of the Conservative Party, had left Mr Cameron in a difficult position.
"He couldn't come back to London empty-handed because self evidently, if he'd done so, he wouldn't have been able to get whatever had been agreed through the House of Commons so all we would have had would have been a delayed crisis."
On Friday, a spokesman for Mr Clegg said he had been "consulted throughout" the 10 hours of unsuccessful negotiations in Brussels - a claim backed up by Foreign Secretary William Hague.
He told the BBC the Lib Dem leader was fully "signed up" to the decision to veto the proposed treaty.
Mr Cameron will make a statement in the House of Commons on his decision on Monday - and the Labour leader called on him to use it to "explain why he did something that was so bad for Britain and bad for British jobs".
"He did this because the Eurosceptic wing of the Conservative Party has effectively taken over and that isn't good for the national interest," Ed Miliband said.
"What I say to Liberal Democrats and others is that we will work with anybody who thinks this position cannot stand. We must find a better way forward for Britain."
Mr Hague insisted Britain was "not marginalised", and told Sky News that while "everybody knows" that the Tories and Lib Dems had different views on Europe, the negotiating position taken by Mr Cameron "was agreed in advance" with Mr Clegg's party.
But Lib Dem peer Lord Oakeshott said his party's Business Secretary Vince Cable had "given a very serious warning last Monday in the cabinet against elevating these financial regulation points into a make or break deal".
Asked about Labour's allegation that Mr Cameron did not genuinely want to reach a deal in Brussels, Lord Oakeshott told the BBC's Politics Show he believed "a walk-out quite suited him".
Mr Cameron and his Chancellor George Osborne have insisted the veto was in part to protect the City of London from excessive intervention by Europe, but Labour and the UK Independence Party have both warned that actually no additional safeguards for it were achieved.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the City was "under very serious threat" of "retribution", adding: "Every time the bond markets twitch I can see the finger being pointed at those awful Anglo Saxons in the City of London."
The BBC's business correspondent Joe Lynam said it was not yet clear whether the City would be better or worse off in the long term.
But he said there was a risk that British banks could be affected by deals done by the remaining 26 EU member states which cannot be blocked as unanimity is no longer required except in the case of taxation.


Northern Ireland's universities have warned that they will have to cut 1,100 student places in the fall-out from last week's executive draft budget.

The Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) is to lose almost £81m.
As a result, Queen's University Belfast and the University of Ulster said student places would be cut from next September.
The vice chancellors of the universities said their talented people were "one of NI's greatest resources".
In a joint statement, they said those lost to Northern Ireland universities would probably go to England or Scotland and pay £9,000 fees.
Prof Patrick Johnston, Queen's University Belfast (QUB), and Prof Richard Barnett, Ulster University (UU), said the Northern Ireland economy would suffer as a result of the cuts.
They described their students as "the lifeblood of local and international businesses, the research base and ultimately, our economy".
"Higher education contributes £1.5bn annually to the local economy and is a key economic driver providing 8,000 high-quality graduates each year who are sought after by investors and indigenous businesses," they said.
"The budget agreed by the executive has imposed one of the biggest cuts on the Department for Employment and Learning and, in consequence, the budget to higher education could potentially be cut by at least 10.8%."
The leaders of the university said past experience suggested that the majority of those who left Northern Ireland would never return.
"In effect, the executive will be encouraging local talent to leave Northern Ireland whilst subsidising universities in England and Scotland," they said.
The chancellors said the "devastating impact" on skills levels was clear but it was harder to predict the consequence of the cuts on the world-class research carried out at both universities.
"From improving survival rates for cancer patients to engineering new materials that aim to revolutionize the global aerospace industry, our universities are at the heart of internationally leading research," they said.
"Some of the world's greatest advances have been pioneered by our universities and Northern Ireland has the second fastest growing knowledge economy in the UK. The decision to cut the higher education budget places this achievement, and our future, at risk."
The president of the NUS-USI union, Rebecca Hall, called on the executive to act to overturn the proposed cut, saying it could be catastrophic for students and for the economy.
"Students must not be targeted within this budget. Students are Northern Ireland's future leaders, and the proposed budget could have massive ramifications for them.
"It would be horrific if the cut proposed leads to a decrease in the number of student places at universities and colleges in Northern Ireland," she said.
Meanwhile, Gerry Campbell, from Colleges Northern Ireland, which represents six regional colleges, said thousands of their student places were also at risk.
He said two out of five students came to their colleges without essential GCSE qualifications.
"The further education colleges come in and pick up the pieces, providing them with essential skills in literacy and numeracy," he said.
"About 43% of our students come from deprived and disadvantaged backgrounds, with care and support, they progress on to positive pathways."
In October,  DEL Minister Stephen Farry said he had warned both universities about the impending drop in funding.
In common with other government departments at Stormont, DEL had its  budget cut by 2% during the summer.
In September, the UU told its staff it was making an immediate £3.15m budget cut due to financial pressures at Stormont.

A London council will be charging residents with diesel cars an extra £96 for their parking permits.

Islington Council said the move was necessary to improve air quality in the borough.
The authority said pollutants in diesel exhausts had been linked to heart and lung disease.
But a motoring group said drivers were confused by the penalising of one fuel over another as today's diesel cars were the "cleanest ever".
Mike Hawes, from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said: "Bans and parking taxes on diesel vehicles therefore make no sense from an environmental point of view.
"The allegations against diesel cars made in recent months threaten to misguide policy-making and undermine public confidence in diesel. It's time to put the record straight."
The surcharge, which will be imposed by Islington Council from Monday, coincides with an increase in its parking permits.
The cost of an Islington resident's permit depends on the emission or engine size of their vehicle with the highest priced at £444 for a year from Monday. This was found to be the highest charge for some drivers in the capital, according to a recent survey carried out by Churchill Car Insurance.
Claudia Webbe, the council's executive member for transport and environment, said diesel fumes were the "major cause of pollution."
She added: "Pollutants in diesel exhausts have been linked to heart and lung diseases, which are major causes of serious and long-term health issues and even death in Islington, and the surcharge will encourage a move away from diesel."
In 2014 the council threatened to hand out £20 fines to drivers who refused to switch off their diesel engines while parked.
