Eleven more high-rise buildings in Manchester have failed fire tests following the Grenfell Tower disaster.

A total of 16 properties owned by housing association One Manchester will have cladding removed following tests prompted by the fatal London fire.
The city council in Salford has also confirmed nine blocks in Pendleton have failed safety tests.
The council opted to remove cladding on Friday before the test results were known.
Dave Power, group chief executive at One Manchester said: "We will act on the advice of the fire service to ensure that all necessary safety measures are in place to avoid the need for homes to be evacuated for any period."
In Manchester, the Village 135 development in Wythenshawe also failed the government tests last week.
In Salford, three high-rise buildings failed and work has already begun to remove cladding from nine tower blocks in Pendleton over safety concerns.
City Mayor of Salford Paul Dennett said the Pendleton test results vindicated the council's decision to start removing the cladding.
"We decided not to wait around and now the test results have come back it has just confirmed that this was definitely the right call to make," he said.
The Grenfell Tower fire in north Kensington on 14 June started in a fridge-freezer and outside cladding and insulation failed safety tests, police have said.
One Manchester said the type of cladding used on its flats is Alucobond, which is non combustible, differs from that used on Grenfell - Reynobond PE - because it uses a mineral rock wool insulation.
The latest One Manchester blocks affected are:


Linus Torvalds may have created one of the world's most collaborative tools with his open-source operating system Linux - but he actually prefers to work alone.

The software creator gave a rare interview at the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Vancouver.
He revealed that he did not originally intend to make Linux open-source.
He also admitted that sharing his work was not an easy decision.
"I did not start Linux as a collaborative project, I started it for myself. I needed the end result but I also enjoyed programming," he said.
"I made it publicly available but I had no intention to use the open-source methodology, I just wanted to have comments on the work."
Mr Torvalds was surprisingly open as he was interviewed on the TED stage, revealing that he works at home in an office devoid of noise or distraction.
"It is the most boring office you'll ever see," he said.
"I often work in my bathrobe, and I have to have complete silence."
It may seem surprising for someone credited with kick-starting the open-source movement and running a software empire, but for Mr Torvalds it comes down to personality.
"I am not a people person," he revealed.
Asked what he was like as a child, he said that he had always been a "nerd".
"My sister had to brief me about who family members were. I was more interested in my Rubik's Cube than my younger brother."
He has, he explained, come to learn that having different people involved in a project is important.
"We need the 'people people' who are warm and friendly. I just care about the technology and there are things that I can't do.
"I am not a visionary. I'm an engineer. I'm happy with the people who are wandering around looking at the stars but I am looking at the ground and I want to fix the pothole before I fall in."
Just don't ask him to design a user interface (UI).
"I can't do it to save my life. If I was stranded on a desert island and the only way to get off was to create a pretty UI I would die there," he joked.


There has been a widespread welcome for news that a new therapy involving stem cell transplants has halted or reversed the symptoms of advanced multiple sclerosis in a small number of patients.

Scientists have hailed the new research in Canada as exciting and remarkable. But one patient died, and the decision on whether to have the treatment can be a difficult and costly one for MS patients.
Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating condition and for patients in the advanced stages, known as "progressive" MS, there is no cure or drug which even delays its development.
MS occurs when there is a fault with the immune system which mistakenly attacks the protective layer surrounding nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord, known as myelin.
A therapy known as HSCT has been developed under which a patient's stem cells are harvested followed by chemotherapy to wipe out the immune system.
The stem cells are then transplanted back into the body to reboot the immune system. It has proved effective on some patients in the early stages of MS.
But the latest study, published in The Lancet, is the first to suggest sustained improvement among some patients in the progressive phase, specifically people with highly active MS who had a poor prognosis and risk of significant rapid progression.
But one of the 24 patients being monitored died, and experts have warned that the aggressive form of chemotherapy creates significant risks for patients.
The scientists who welcomed the Canadian findings were quick to point out that there were safety concerns and that further studies with a larger sample size and control group were needed.
The MS Society is currently focusing its funding on finding disease-modifying treatments that can slow or stop disability progression by repairing myelin and protecting the nervous system against future damage.
Work on repurposing of existing drugs for other conditions such as depression and motor neurone disease, in a trial known as MS-SMART, is said to offer exciting potential. But translating this research into tested and approved drugs could take a few years yet.
Dr Emma Gray, head of clinical trials at the society, hailed the Canadian findings but noted that the treatment was "an aggressive procedure with substantial risks and requires specialist aftercare".
She urged patients considering the HSCT to consult their neurologist.
And here's the dilemma. HSCT is not widely available in the UK and many neurologists won't recommend it. They regard it as unproven and with known risks which are not balanced by predictable benefits.
So patients with progressive MS have tough choices to make.
They can go to foreign clinics, for example in Israel, Mexico and Russia and take their chances with a risky therapy which does not come cheap and in clinics which may be unregulated. But for someone with progressive MS it at least offers the only chance of stabilising their condition.
The alternative to going down the HSCT route is to wait and hope that new treatments will emerge and that the potential now being discussed is realised.  But this could take years and the wait will inevitably see continuing debilitation with worsening symptoms.
Much will depend now on funding for more extensive trials, and obtaining that will not be straightforward.
There are hopes that the government may provide more finance for research in the UK.
For those patients with progressive MS, who never had the chance to take drugs recently made available for those in the early stages of the condition, any sort of breakthrough can't come a moment too soon.


Top seed Gordon Reid says wonderful memories from last year's triumph can inspire him to retain his wheelchair singles title at Wimbledon.

The 25-year-old Scot won the inaugural title with a 6-1 6-4 success against Stefan Olsson and begins his defence against the Swede on Thursday.
Reid is also the reigning doubles champion and again pairs up with England's Alfie Hewett.
"It feels great to be back, it gets the excitement flowing," said Reid.
"To be the first person to win the trophy was special and to retain it would be even better.
"I've got great memories but now it's about focusing on trying to do the same this year. I'll take it one match at a time.
"Stefan is in good form and enjoys playing on the grass, so it's not going to be an easy match at all."

Reid, who collected an MBE from the Queen in Edinburgh last week, added the first Wimbledon singles title to his Australian Open victory last year.
He began 2017 by collecting the doubles prize in Australia, completing the set of majors, with two previous French Open wins and US Open success in 2015.
"Singles-wise, this year has not been ideal but the doubles has been good," Reid told BBC Scotland.
"Hopefully, I can use this tournament to get some confidence for the second half of the season."
Reid, who also won Paralympic singles gold last year, recalls "drinking champagne with the Murray team" last year following Andy Murray's second Wimbledon title.
Murray has reached the last eight as he attempts to defend his title and Reid is aiming for another Scottish double, with the help of some superstition.
"I'm trying to get the same lucky number 13 locker as last year," he laughed.
"There's someone else in there, so I've reserved it for when they leave."


The Russians have reacted with a mixture of contempt and fury to the cancellation of the foreign secretary's trip to Moscow.

It suggests they do, perhaps surprisingly, care quite a lot about it.
In a series of tweets, the Russian embassy in London mocked the foreign secretary, calling his decision "deplorable" and "absurd" and linking to an image of the Charge of the Light Brigade and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
That was the year that a minor war between Britain and Russia, provoked by a Russian alliance with France, came to an end, when Napoleon invaded Russia. The US was on the French side. The message is a little hard to decode, beyond poking fun at Boris.
The Kremlin is less mischievous, and more straightforward.
It "doubts in the presence of added value in speaking to the UK, which does not have its own position on the majority of present-day issues, nor does it have real influence on the course of international affairs, as it remains 'in the shadow' of its strategic partners. We do not feel that we need dialogue with London any more than it does."
This has both the whiff of wounded pride and the smell of an unpalatable truth. Both interpretations have something in them, but disguise a more profound method in their mockery.
Russia's intervention in Syria had many fathers, but no doubt part of President Putin's purpose was to establish that modern Russia, just as much as the old Soviet Union, matters on the world stage - a force to be reckoned with, on a par with China and the US.
So a snub from Britain, definitely lower down the league table of powerful nations, stings a little bit. It is also easy to take a tilt at the UK and Boris Johnson.
We do, in military, intelligence and diplomatic terms, in that old cliche, punch above our weight. We matter more, in those terms, than Sweden or Brazil, Spain or Italy. But the weight of our history makes many of us think we matter more than we do.
We have lost an empire and don't particularly like finding ourselves in a subordinate role, perhaps not always as important as France and Germany. Absurdly, our media and politicians sometimes like to pretend we are almost on a par with the United States, nearly equal partners rather than occasionally useful allies.
The Russians are deeply aware of how much power they have lost. We in Britain simply pretend it's not the case. So the Kremlin prodding a finger in this wound makes us shiver a little bit.
I have no idea whether US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asked tentatively and politely that Boris should call off his visit, virtually ordered it, or whether the proposal came from the Foreign Office. But there's no doubt we are doing what the Americans want, and waiting for them to explain what they want to happen next.
This is what the Russians really hate. Like the Chinese, they would rather have one-on-one, bilateral relations, with other smaller nations. It is why they would love to see the European Union collapse, and support parties which wish to see that too. They don't like other countries acting against them in concord, matching their mass.
If they don't like the EU, they feel even more strongly about European nations acting together with the US. Bundle in the G7 nations of Japan and Canada, and you have something that amounts to '"the West" - the Soviet Union's old adversary.
If they had hoped the US would turn inward, not even leading from behind, but wandering off in a disinterested daze, then recent developments seem to suggest they won't get their wish.
So Boris Johnson's cancelled trip to Moscow makes diplomatic sense and shows a due sense of proportion about our nation's power. But it is still not great for the man himself. Hanging over all this is the feeling that he's not to be trusted, that he'd somehow make a mess of it all.
The Russians keep using the term "clown" and hinting that he is out of his depth. Some in the Foreign Office seem to agree. So do opposition politicians.
It may be desperately unfair, based on the fact he makes a few broad jokes in a world where many others have carefully crafted pokers inserted somewhere about their person.
But Boris has become a politician it is easy not to take seriously, a doddle to ridicule. President Trump's example suggests that's not entirely a bad place to be, but at the moment it has made it easier for people at home and abroad to deride an entirely standard diplomatic response.


Ireland moved closer to a World Cup finals spot after fighting back to beat India 2-1 in the World League 7th-8th place play-off in Johannesburg.

Gurjit Kaur drilled in the opener for India before Grace O'Flanagan saved a penalty stroke from Rani.
Ireland hit back with Katie Mullan's defected finish and Lizzie Colvin fired home the winner.
Seventh place could be enough to earn Ireland a place in next year's World Cup finals in London.
Ireland become the third reserve for a place in the tournament behind Italy and Spain so need three of the 10 countries already qualified to also win their continental championships to gain a place.
The earliest this could happen would be after the Oceania Cup final in October.
Kaur netted from a penalty corner on 15 minutes and the penalty stroke was awarded when goalkeeper Ayeisha McFerran received a 10-minute yellow card for charging out of her goal and obstructing the striker.
O'Flanagan stepped onto the field and with her first piece of the action saved Rani's penalty stroke with a superb dive to her right.
India had a goal disallowed for a back stick and Ireland went into the half-time break one down.
From a penalty corner Elena Tice swept the ball to the waiting Mullan, who deflected in the equaliser in the 47th minute.
Mullan won her side another penalty corner and Colvin scored Ireland's second goal in two minutes.
"I thought the performance was superb. We just didn't get results out of the dominance we had in the first half," said Ireland head coach Graham Shaw.
"But this team has shown incredible character to go down to 10 players and have that resilience.
"We're over the moon to score two great goals. This team deserve it, they work incredibly hard and deserve everything they get."
Ireland: K Mullan (Captain), S McCay, E Tice, G Pinder, R Upton, A McFerran, C Watkins, N Daly, A O'Flanagan, Z Wilson, D Duke.
Subs: G O'Flanagan, Y O'Byrne, N Evans, E Beatty, S Loughran, L Colvin, H Matthews.
India: D Ekka, Monkia, N Pradhan, Savita, V Katariya, N Toppo, A Barla, S Lakra, S Pukhrambam, Rani (Captain), L Minz

A mine, which has been made popular again by the recent BBC series Poldark, is to get a "facelift".

Machinery that used to be "the heart" of Poldark Mine is to be restored by Cornwall College engineering students.
The tin mine, which is open to the public, is one of the oldest industrial structures in the UK, its owner said.
It is believed that the renovation project on the mine at Wendron near Helston could take several years to complete.
David Edwards, who bought it last year, said the machinery on site "has suffered after 14 years of little or no investment" but that the recent BBC television series has prompted the need for it to be rejuvenated.
"Poldark definitely had an impact for us, it brought more people in buying bookmarks and taking a tour of the mine," he said.
"The challenge now is to restore the machinery we have on display and get it back in order so that it is more interesting to the public.
"This has been a place of industry since the 1400s, one of the oldest industrial structures in the UK, so keeping it going is vital for Cornwall's heritage."
Luke Bazeley, an engineering lecturer at Cornwall College, said: "We always try to give the students work experience and this is the perfect live project to work on - they've loved visiting the site and finding out more about Cornwall's heritage."
He added the students will need to do some research to find replacement parts for the machinery.


Gozie Ugwu's stoppage-time penalty rounded off a stunning late fightback as Woking boosted their National League survival hopes with a 3-2 win at Chester.

Chester took the lead with eight minutes left but Connor Hall's equaliser was followed by Ugwu's winner from the spot.
Brian Saah had given the visitors the lead with an opportunist strike after 54 minutes, but a minute later Liam Davies, older brother of rising Everton star Tom Davies, equalised with a bullet header.
Elliott Durrell then nudged the hosts in front after 82 minutes, but substitute Hall fired home with his first touch three minutes later.
The visitors, who started the day outside the drop zone on goal difference, were awarded a penalty in stoppage time and Ugwu scored.
Woking climb to 17th, within a point of 16th-placed Chester, leaving both sides possibly still having to win one of their final two games to be certain of avoiding the drop.

Police say they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths of a 51-year-old woman and 55-year-old man near Maguiresbridge, County Fermanagh.

They said the deaths were reported at a house in the Abbey Road area.
It is understood detectives are not looking for anyone in relation to the incident.
There are no more details at this stage.


A man has been injured in a paramilitary-style shooting in west Belfast.

The attack happened in Beechmount Crescent at about 20:00 BST on Tuesday.
The man, who is in his 30s, was shot once in the right leg. He was treated in hospital for non life threatening injuries and has since been discharged.
West Belfast SDLP councillor, Colin Keenan, condemned the attack and said vigilantism and violence were never justified.
He said: "People need to put their faith in the rule of law and not take believe they have the right to judge people and administer violence.
"History has shown us paramilitary-style shootings did not solve social issues in the past and will not solve them now."
Police have appealed to anyone with information about the attack to contact them or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously.


A man has been arrested after an 18-year-old girl was sexually assaulted on a bus from London Victoria to Glasgow more than four years ago.

The incident is alleged to have happened on 31 October 2012.
Police said a 47-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
The man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Thursday and a report has been sent to the procurator fiscal's office.


Russia's opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been sentenced to 30 days' administrative arrest for repeatedly violating the law on staging rallies.

He was detained at his home in Moscow earlier on Monday, ahead of anti-corruption demonstrations in Russia.
Hundreds of people were held during the gatherings across the country.
Riot police in central Moscow were picking protesters out of the crowd at random, a BBC correspondent at the demonstration has said.
A court in Moscow announced its verdict late on Monday, rejecting demands by Alexei Navalny's defence lawyers to drop the case.
The 41-year-old opposition leader later confirmed this in a tweet on his Twitter page (in Russian).
Mr Navalny, who intends to stand for the Russian presidency next year, had been due to attend the unauthorised rally in the capital earlier on Monday.
OVD-Info, an independent NGO, said that 825 people had been detained at the protest in the capital.
Police in Moscow say about 5,000 took part in the demonstration there, Interfax news agency reports.
OVD-Info also said that hundreds of people were held in St Petersburg.
Russia's interior ministry says about 3,500 people attended the protest in the north-western city, and 500 were detained.
This was a peculiar protest.
At first it was hard to tell who was taking part. Tverskaya Street was full of families marking Russia Day with entertainers in historical costumes.
Then thousands of protesters turned up. Huge numbers of riot police were right behind them.
First they announced that the rally was illegal then the arrests began. We saw dozens of people plucked from the crowd - many of them young - and dragged roughly towards police buses.
By calling people to an unauthorised rally, Alexei Navalny knew he was risking a confrontation. The police duly obliged.
But people I spoke to said they knew the risk and still wanted their voices to be heard. Among other things, those voices chanted loudly: "Putin, thief!" and "Russia will be free".
In a live broadcast by the Russian liberal TV channel, Dozhd, protesters in St Petersburg could be heard shouting "shame" as they were detained by police. Among those arrested was Maxim Reznik, the city's legislative assembly deputy.
Prominent activist Daniil Ken said he was arrested as he left his home in St Petersburg. He urged people to join the rally at the city's Champ de Mars square. "Go for me, please!" he tweeted. He has since been released.
Police had earlier detained several people at demonstrations in the cities of Vladivostok, Blagoveshchensk and Kazan.
Mr Navalny called on Russians to take to the streets on Monday - Russia Day - to express their anger at alleged corruption at the highest levels.
The anti-corruption campaigner uses YouTube, tweets and blogs to reach new audiences.
A video posted in March accuses Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of accumulating a vast private fortune. Mr Medvedev denies the claims. The video, which includes the accusation that the PM has a duck house on one of his properties, has been viewed nearly 23 million times.
In a call for people to join him on Monday, Mr Navalny wrote: "I want changes. I want to live in a modern democratic state and I want our taxes to be converted into roads, schools and hospitals, not into yachts, palaces and vineyards."
Mr Navalny was earlier granted permission to hold a rally at Sakharova Avenue but changed the location - without permission -  on the eve of the demonstration to Tverskaya Street, near the Kremlin.
The protest was called over government plans to demolish Soviet-era apartment blocks in the city.
Permission was granted for demonstrations in 169 locations across the country, some of which were broadcast live on the Navalny Live YouTube channel.
The protests coincided with a series of official events - including festivals, concerts and military enactments - taking place across the country to mark Russia Day, the national holiday dedicated to the 1990 declaration of sovereignty.
Similar rallies led by Mr Navalny in March led to hundreds of arrests.
Those protests were the largest since 2012, drawing thousands of people - including many teenagers - to rallies nationwide, angered by a report published by Mr Navalny that accused Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of corruption.


One of the senior UKIP figures who was forced to resign after in-fighting in the party following the general election has returned to his job as party secretary.

Matt Richardson has been reinstated to the role after UKIP's national executive committee approved it.
The move is likely to be greeted with criticism from some in the party who attacked him and a circle of advisers around Nigel Farage in the wake of UKIP's failure to win more seats in the election.
In a brief statement to the BBC, UKIP said: "Matt has resumed the role... by law any constituted political party must have a party secretary who is a qualified lawyer."
The decision has echoes of Nigel Farage's resignation - and swift reversal of that decision - after he failed to become an MP in South Thanet.
Mr Richardson was one of two key advisers who left in May.
The other adviser who was forced to leave, Raheem Kassam, has returned to his job as a journalist at the Breitbart blog.
But he continues to meet Nigel Farage and speak out publicly on his behalf.
'Dragging him down'
The pair of advisers were at the centre of internal fighting in UKIP after the party's election chief and economy spokesman Patrick O'Flynn launched a very personal attack on Nigel Farage.
He told The Times newspaper that during the election UKIP's leader had appeared to be turning into a "snarling, thin-skinned, aggressive" man.
Mr O'Flynn subsequently resigned.
Some senior figures, including Mr O'Flynn, blamed Mr Richardson and Mr Kassam for persuading Nigel Farage to adopt a more outspoken tone during the election campaign, with similarities to the Republican-linked Tea Party in the US.
One told the BBC that they were "dragging him down".
The party's only MP was also critical of Mr Richardson's role in a row over whether the party should take Â£650,000 a year in "short money", which opposition parties are entitled to.
Douglas Carswell said Matt Richardson had come to him with a plan to recruit more than a dozen staff in his parliamentary office, something which the Clacton MP rejected.
Nigel Farage has since replaced another prominent figure from the election campaign, Suzanne Evans, as UKIP policy chief. The former MP Mark Reckless is now in that role.
She had defended Patrick O'Flynn as "brave" following his comments and her future in the party is still unclear.
There was also a shake-up in the party's press operation, with the director of communications departing and a new senior press spokesman appointed.
The former BBC producer Paul Lambert left the communications role after the election and no replacement has been announced.
Mr Farage also appointed a new senior press spokesman, elevating Michael Heaver to the job over his long-term aide Alex Philips.
The BBC has approached several senior figures in UKIP for comment on the re-appointment but none of them responded.


Afghanistan's spy agency has confirmed that Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour has been killed, after the US targeted him in a drone strike.

The drone targeted his vehicle in a remote area of south-west Pakistan, near the Afghan border, on Saturday.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said Mansour had posed "a continuing, imminent threat to US personnel".
Mansour assumed the leadership in July 2015, replacing Taliban founder and spiritual head Mullah Mohammad Omar.
The Afghan National Security Directorate (NDS) said on Sunday that Mansour had been killed in the Dalbandi area of Balochistan province - the first official confirmation of the killing of the Taliban leader.
Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and defence ministry spokesman Daulat Waziri also said that Mansour had been killed.
Pakistan's government said on Sunday the drone strike was a violation of its sovereignty.
The passenger thought to be Mansour had a passport under the name Wali Muhammad and was returning from Iran, it said. He had yet to be formally identified, Pakistan said.
Profile: Mullah Akhtar Mansour
Why the Taliban face a leadership crisis
The Pentagon announced on Saturday that an operation had taken place near the town of Ahmad Wal at around 15:00 (10:00 GMT) and had been authorised by President Barack Obama.
It said the strike had "probably" killed Mansour and an armed male combatant travelling with him.
There have been conflicting reports from the Taliban.
Senior commander Mullah Abdul Rauf told Associated Press that Mansour had been killed, but that the strike happened late on Friday.
Other reports denied his death. One unnamed Taliban commander told Reuters: "We heard about these baseless reports, but this not first time. Just wanted to share with you my own information that Mullah Mansour has not been killed."
False rumours have often surrounded Taliban leaders.
The death of Mullah Mansour would be a big blow for the Taliban.
He was gradually tightening his grip on the movement by bringing into his fold other leading Taliban members, including a son and a brother of his predecessor Mullah Mohammed Omar, and by launching large scale attacks on Afghan security forces.
Under his leadership, the Taliban managed to capture an important city last year for the first time in 15 years.
Mansour also managed to silence the splinter Taliban group under Mullah Muhammad Rasool, which challenged his leadership, and is credited by his followers for containing so-called Islamic State in Taliban areas.
A vacuum created by his death would once again trigger a leadership struggle.
Mr Kerry, on a visit to Myanmar, said: "This action sends a clear message to the world that we will continue to stand with our Afghan partners as they work to build a more stable, united, secure and prosperous Afghanistan.
"Peace is what we want. Mansour was a threat to that effort."
A spokesman for Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said: "Our hope in the wake of the strike is for the Afghan-led peace process to bring lasting peace and stability."
Mr Abdullah said Mansour had been "the main figure preventing the Taliban joining the peace process".


A novel written in a single unbroken sentence has won the Goldsmiths Prize 2016.

Solar Bones by Mike McCormack was named the winner of the £10,000 award, which recognises fiction  "that breaks the mould".
Published by Tramp Press, the novel follows the recollections of an engineer named Marcus Conway briefly returned from the dead.
McCormack is the third Irish writer to win since the prize began in 2013.
Chairman of judges Professor Blake Morrison said: "Set over a few hours in a single day, and told in the first-person voice of a middle-aged engineer, Mike McCormack's Solar Bones transcends these seeming limits magnificently.
"Politics, family, art, marriage, health, civic duty and the environment are just a few of the themes it touches on, in a prose that's lyrical yet firmly rooted.
"Its subject may be an ordinary working life but it is itself an extraordinary work."
McCormack, 51,  called on more publishers to take risks with experimental authors.
"Readers are smart. They're up for it," he said.
"That was what the people at Tramp Press taught me. There are readers out there and they have been proved right."
The six shortlisted works were:
The prize was founded in 2013 by Goldsmiths, University of London, and is held in partnership with the New Statesman.
Last year's winner was Beatlebone by Kevin Barry.

Torquay United player-manger Kevin Nicholson says he understands why on-loan winger David Fitzpatrick is keen to return to parent club AFC Wimbledon.

The 21-year-old will go back to the League One side after the Gulls' match against Macclesfield on 11 January.
"It's just the legalities of it really, if you do short term loans you can only do 93 days," Nicholson told BBC Devon.
"He wants to go back and show Neal Ardley [AFC Wimbledon boss] he's worth a shot in their team."
Nicholson continued: "He's in his last year at Wimbledon so if he signed on here for the rest of the season, which we were pushing for, he was worried he might be out of sight out of mind."
Torquay are 17th in the National League and already short of players, with Aarran Racine injured, Paul Rooney's loan also coming to an end and Shaun Harrad missing for personal reasons.
"You've got people like Jamie Reid who can play that (Fitzpatrick's) position, where it's not really a winger, it's more of an attacker," Nicholson added.
"We're a very small squad, even with everybody available, but we'll work on that and see what we've got for Saturday."


After keeping quiet for more than 40 years, Carly Simon has admitted that her song You're So Vain is about Warren Beatty, but only one verse of it.

She told People magazine: "I have confirmed that the second verse is Warren", but she said the other verses refer to two other men.
The 70-year-old star, who is releasing her autobiography, said she doubts she will ever name the other men.
"I don't think so, at least until they know it's about them."
Asked if Beatty knew about his role in the song, she said "Warren thinks the whole thing is about him!".
The song about a self assured man who has women falling at his feet was a hit around the world when it was released in 1972.
The lyrics in the chorus accuse him of being "so vain I bet you think this song is about you".
But the mystery of who the man the song was based on has been the subject of speculation ever since.
They included Simon's first husband James Taylor, or one of her ex-boyfriends, such as Warren Beatty, Cat Stevens or Kris Kristofferson.
In 2010 there was speculation it was about record company boss David Geffen after she re-recorded the song for her album Never Been Gone and fans thought they heard her whisper David in the song.
However, she denied it was about David Geffen, saying she had whispered Ovid - because the album was a metamorphosis for her most famous songs.
She has also denied the song was about Mick Jagger in the past.
Over the years she has admitted she has told a few people, including DJ Howard Stern.


The president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, has said that any new independent country would have to apply to join the EU.

The president's comments came despite Scottish ministers insisting an independent Scotland would negotiate its position "from within".
Mr Barroso told the BBC's Hardtalk programme the position was set out in clear legal terms.
The Scottish government is holding an independence referendum in autumn 2014.
Ministers have said that, in the event of a "yes" vote, Scotland would "quite clearly" remain part of the European Union and negotiations would take place "from within that context".
Responding to Mr Barroso's intervention - described by Prime Minister David Cameron as "significant" - Scottish Deputy First minister Nicola Sturgeon said the SNP government did not agree that an independent Scotland would have to reapply for European Union membership.
She said early talks were now being sought with the European Commission to discuss the specific process of Scotland becoming independent.
A letter from Mr Barosso to the House of Lords economic committee, which is examining the independence question, also confirmed his position that a new independent state would "become a third country with respect to the EU".
Mr Barroso, when asked by the BBC whether Scotland's membership would be "nodded through", responded: "I did not comment on specific situations of member states because I very much respect that it is their right, their sovereign right to decide about their organisation.

"What I said, and it is our doctrine and it is clear since 2004 in legal terms, if one part of a country - I am not referring now to any specific one - wants to become an independent state, of course as an independent state it has to apply to the European membership according to the rules - that is obvious."
Asked whether an independent country would have to renegotiate its terms, Mr Barroso said: "Yes.".
When further asked whether that negotiation would be from "inside" the EU, the president responded: "We are a union of states, so if there is a new state, of course, that state has to apply for membership and negotiate the conditions with other member states.
"For European Union purposes, from a legal point of view, it is certainly a new state. If a country becomes independent it is a new state and has to negotiate with the EU."
Mr Barroso also said that, if Scotland became independent, the rest of the UK would not have to negotiate a new position, because of the "principle of the continuity of the state".
In response, Ms Sturgeon said: "We do not agree that an independent Scotland will be in the position of having to reapply for European Union membership, because there is no provision for removing EU treaties from any part of EU territory, or for removing European citizenship from the people of a country which has been in the EU for 40 years.
"We have always said that the specific terms of Scotland's continued EU membership as an independent nation will be negotiated - but the crucial point is that these negotiations will take place from within the EU, because in the period immediately following a 'Yes' vote in the referendum, Scotland will still be part of the UK and the EU.
"No serious person can argue that it is anything other than in the interests of the EU to keep Scotland in continuous membership, given this country's huge natural resources in energy and other aspects which make us such a valuable European partner.
If Scots voters vote 'Yes' in the referendum, Scottish ministers will seek to negotiate the terms of independence with Westminster between 2014 and 2016, negotiating their terms of EU membership at the same time.
The SNP says the Edinburgh Agreement between the Scottish and UK governments, which set out the framework for the referendum, commits both sides to work in the best interests of Scotland and the UK, including remaining inside the EU.
Following Mr Barroso's comments, the prime minister told a lunch meeting of journalists he was "not a legal expert' but "it seems as if you leave the UK you have to re-apply".
Mr Cameron went on to say Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, "wanted to have his cake and eat it", by claiming you could remain in the UK following any vote to leave, and from that position negotiate membership of the EU.
Officials from the House of Lords later released correspondence from Mr Barroso regarding the position of an independent Scotland.
It states: "The EU is founded on the Treaties which apply only to the Member States who have agreed and ratified them. If part of the territory of a Member State would cease to be part of that state because it were to become a new independent state, the Treaties would no longer apply to that territory.
"In other words, a new independent state would, by the fact of its independence, become a third country with respect to the EU and the Treaties would no longer apply on its territory."
Scotland's opposition parties have argued that Mr Salmond's position on EU membership under Scottish independence was based on "meaningless assertion".
Labour, the Tories and the Liberal Democrats said the consequences of an independent Scotland having to reapply to join the EU could mean having to adopt the Euro and set up border controls with England.
Interviewer: The Commission has made it clear that any country, a country like Scotland, that would choose to be independent, would need to reapply for EU membership. When you think about how that would work, would it just be nodded through, do you think?
Jose Manuel Barroso: "Look, I did not comment on specific situations of member states because I very much respect that it is their right, their sovereign right to decide about their organisation.
"Now, what I said, and it is our doctrine and it is clear since 2004 in legal terms, if one part of a country - I am not referring now to any specific one - wants to become an independent state, of course as an independent state it has to apply to the European membership according to the rules - that is obvious."
Interviewer: "So, it has to renegotiate its terms?"
Jose Manuel Barroso: "Yes."
Interviewer: "And is it renegotiating those terms from inside, as a member of the EU, or is it effectively reapplying from outside the EU?"
Jose Manuel Barroso: "We are a union of states, so if there is a new state, of course, that state has to apply for membership and negotiate the conditions with other member states......
Interviewer: "So if, and I am using the example of Scotland, and I appreciate you are not talking about specifics, but say a country like Scotland, it, say, chooses independence, it is then like a new state applying to the EU?"
Jose Manuel Barroso: "For European Union purposes, from a legal point of view, it is certainly a new state. If a country becomes independent it is a new state and has to negotiate with the EU.
Interviewer: "What about the rest of the UK that is effectively left behind by Scotland's independence...."
Jose Manuel Barroso: "That is the principle of the continuity of the state, in that case if a....
Interviewer: "Would it have to renegotiate its terms?"
Jose Manuel Barroso: "No, no in principle no."


Worlds End murderer Angus Sinclair is to drop his appeal against his conviction.

But he will continue to appeal against the minimum of 37 years he was ordered to serve in prison
The sentence was the longest ever passed by a Scottish court.
Sinclair was convicted last year of raping and murdering Christine Eadie and Helen Scott in 1977. The teenagers disappeared after being in the World's End pub in Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
Their naked bodies were later found in a field in East Lothian.
Police believe Sinclair has also killed at least six other women and girls.
The sentence given to Sinclair, who will turn 70 this year, means he would be aged 106 before he was eligible to apply for parole.
His conviction brought one of Scotland's most infamous unsolved cases to a conclusion, and marked the first prosecution since changes to Scotland's double jeopardy law.
Sinclair, a violent offender who has already spent more than half of his life in prison, had intended to appeal against the World's End conviction.
But a procedural hearing at the Appeal Court in Edinburgh was told that he no longer intends to appeal against the conviction, a spokesman for the Judicial Office for Scotland confirmed.
A formal abandonment is expected to be lodged in due course and his appeal against sentence will be heard in November.


The use of camera drones has been made illegal in Sweden unless they are granted a special surveillance permit.

Under new rules set down by the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden, camera drones qualify as surveillance cameras and require a licence.
Permits can be expensive and paying to apply for one does not guarantee it will eventually be granted.
There are no exceptions made for journalists, and critics have said the ruling could mean job losses.
In what some are describing as a "huge blow" to the aerial photography and camera drone industry, the court ruled that drone-mounted cameras are "regarded as surveillance cameras".
Industry group UAS Sweden (Unmanned Aerial System) has argued that the court ruling could put 5,000 jobs in danger.
"It is a bad decision for Sweden as an entrepreneur country and ominous for the Swedish labour market that is constantly affected by new obscure and complicated regulations from the state and its agencies," said Gustav Gerdes, president of UAS.
A lower district court in Sweden had previously ruled that camera drones did not constitute camera surveillance but that decision has now been overruled.
According to photography website PetaPixel, more than 20,000 drones were sold in Sweden in 2014 with more than 1,000 permits issued for using camera drones for commercial purposes.
In the UK, people wishing to operate a drone must follow some basic safety rules such as keeping it within line of sight, no more than 400ft above and 500m ahead, according to the Civil Aviation Authority's drone code.
They will need to obtain permission from the CAA if they are flying a device over a congested area or within 50m of a building.
Drone operators must also "respect the privacy of people" around them and anyone with concerns about drones being used in their area are advised to contact the police.


Michael Dunlop set the pace in Monday's opening practice session at this week's Southern 100 road races.

The Ballymoney racer posted a lap of 110.899mph on his 1000cc Suzuki to head the timesheets on the opening evening.
He is aiming to secure a fourth Solo Championship title at the event, held over the 4.25-mile Billown circuit.
Manx racer Dan Kneen was second quickest (110.488 mph), with Bradford's Dean Harrison also topping 110 mph before the session was red flagged.
Organisers said one rider, who has not been named, was taken to Nobles Hospital with suspected fractures following an incident at Church Bends.
Earlier in the session, James Cowton was fastest in 600cc practice with 108.365 mph, and local pair Dave Molyneux and Dan Sayle led the way in the sidecars with 100.288 mph.
Fourteen solo races and two sidecar events make up a busy schedule, which begins later on Tuesday with three races, followed by four on Wednesday evening and nine on Thursday morning and afternoon.
A prize fund of £36,015 is on offer, including £3,400 for the winner of the feature Solo Championship.


Coach Stuart Lancaster insists England are "not far away" from New Zealand despite a 24-21 defeat by the world champions at Twickenham on Saturday.

Media playback is not supported on this device
England led 14-11 at half-time, but the visitors dominated after the break despite having Dane Coles sin-binned.
Lancaster said: "We haven't got the right result, but we don't feel we're far away. In the first half we were pretty close if not level."
It is New Zealand's fifth win over England in 12 months.
The losing run suggests England have some way to go if they are to triumph at next year's World Cup, but Lancaster remains optimistic.
He added: "We've got some good players watching the game, so we'll keep our confidence and maintain the direction in which we're going.
"The All Blacks have played eight games and two-and-a-half months together since we last played them and I thought we put them under pressure.
"We created opportunities in attack but obviously there's a period of play they constructed that shows why they have the experience to close out a game like that.
"That's what we've got to get."
Jonny May's first try for England had given Lancaster's side the perfect start but they squandered a handful of excellent opportunities to turn their early domination into points.
England were left to rue those missed chances as the All Blacks began to dominate and they were rewarded with second-half tries from captain Richie McCaw and replacement Charlie Faumuina.
"We've had one-and-a-half week's preparation and we've got young lads who are 20 and 21 years old making their debuts at Twickenham against the All Blacks - that's a positive," Lancaster continued.
"The performance of the pack was excellent - it couldn't have been far off 100% line-out. We put a lot of pressure on their ball and there was some good rugby on show in the first half.
"We missed one opportunity in the first half which could have made a difference.
"We need to work on the accuracy of our kicking, the pressure we put on ourselves playing in and around our halfway line.
"When the weather turned New Zealand maximised that opportunity well and when the hooker was in the sin-bin they managed that well as well.
"We couldn't get the territory to get close to them in the second half."
New Zealand's match-day squad had 1,023 caps compared to England's total of 437 before kick-off, but Lancaster's counterpart Steve Hansen does not believe his side's greater experience was the decisive factor.
"If your team has more caps than the other and you lose they tell you they are too old and should retire - it's just an excuse," he said.
"The big thing that changed in the second half was that we got a wee bit urgent.
"In that first half England were probably half a click in front of us the whole time, showed a bit more desperation and urgency to get to places."
May will recall his first England try with relish as he fizzed through a narrow gap down the left and then skinned full-back Israel Dagg on the outside.
The Gloucester wing said: "That has been coming for a while. I have kept going and getting opportunities, and that try put us in a good position. I will remember it forever."


A new business hub for the Scottish government and development agencies has been opened in London.

The investment and innovation centre is similar to one opened in Dublin, with others planned for Brussels and Berlin.
Scotland House is located at Victoria Embankment, near the Houses of Parliament at Westminster.
It is intended as a centre for business membership to showcase products and meet customers and investors from the UK market and beyond.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon performed the official opening on Tuesday evening, saying 450 companies have expressed an interest in becoming members.
The hub will also be a base for Scottish government officials, and for staff of Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and VisitScotland.
The first minister said: "London is a very important trading market and a meeting place for the world's business leaders, but for Scottish businesses it can be challenging and costly to try and break into these markets.
"The new hub will play a critical role in attracting investment to Scotland, helping businesses trade internationally and raising Scotland's international profile.
"Scotland House will provide Scottish companies with a base to build new partnerships and a low-cost place to trade. I am pleased that more than 450 businesses are interested in becoming members of the hub."
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said: "London remains our most important trading partner.
"However, if Scottish tourism is to continue punching above its weight on the world stage, we need to keep attracting new investment, events, airlines and ultimately, visitors.
"Scotland House is a platform on which we can do that - utilising our business strengths in a city renowned for its global business links - to show the world that Scotland is the perfect place to visit and invest in."
Lena Wilson, chief executive of Scottish Enterprise, said the opening of Scotland House "marks the start of an exciting new phase of growth and collaboration between Scotland and London".
She added: "Together, Scotland and the city are a formidable force for tourism, trade, investment and collaboration and this new facility will provide the ideal platform to help take our partnership to the next level.
"We've had a phenomenal initial response to the launch with hundreds of ambitious businesses looking to maximise what Scotland House has to offer."


Heidi the famous cross-eyed opossum has died in the German zoo where she lived, aged three-and-a-half.

She was really ill because of her old age and was put to sleep by vets at the zoo.
Heidi became a global megastar when photos of her appeared in a German newspaper.
A song was written about her, she appeared on TV shows and a stuffed Heidi toy was made.
Heidi was found abandoned outside an animal shelter in America in 2010 and was moved to Leipzig Zoo in Germany.
The problem with her eyes was caused by a poor diet and excess fat behind her eyeballs.
Her death is sad news for her huge number of fans. More than 300,000 people had become friends with her online.


Crocodiles can sleep with one eye open, according to a study from Australia.

In doing so they join a list of animals with this ability, which includes some birds, dolphins and other reptiles.
Writing in the Journal of Experimental Biology, the researchers say the crocs are probably sleeping with one brain hemisphere at a time, leaving one half of the brain active and on the lookout.
Consistent with this idea, the crocs in the study were more likely to leave one eye open in the presence of a human.
They also kept that single eye trained directly on the interloper, said senior author John Lesku.
"They definitely monitored the human when they were in the room. But even after the human left the room, the animal still kept its open eyeâ€¦ directed towards the location where the human had been - suggesting that they were keeping an eye out for potential threats."
The experiments were done in an aquarium lined with infrared cameras, to monitor juvenile crocodiles day and night.
"These animals are not particularly amenable to handling; they are a little snippy. So we had to limit all of our work to juvenile crocodiles, about 40-50cm long," said Dr Lesku, from La Trobe University in Melbourne.
As well as placing a human in the room for certain periods, the team tested the effect of having other young crocs around. Sure enough, these also tended to attract the gaze of any reptiles dozing with only one eye.
This matches what is known of "unihemispheric sleep" in aquatic mammals, such as walruses and dolphins, which seem to use one eye to make sure they stick together in a group.
By contrast, birds use this strategy to watch out for predators. "In threatening situations, birds will increase their use of unihemispheric sleep and maintain their open eye on any potential threat," Dr Lesku explained.
"It seems to be a bit of both, in the case of these juvenile saltwater crocodiles."
The next step will be to confirm that, as well as simply opening one eye, the crocs are indeed only - physiologically - half asleep.
"Ultimately we would require electrophysiological recordings - so you'd have to look at brain waves in both hemispheres of a sleeping crocodile, to say: is one hemisphere awake while the other is asleep."
Dr Lesku is already preparing those experiments, working with colleagues in Germany to stick electrodes - carefully - on the heads of Nile crocodiles.
Meanwhile, the discovery of one-eyed sleep in crocodiles firmly fixes this capacity to yet another branch of the evolutionary tree.
We and our fellow land mammals, it seems, are running out of company in our all-consuming slumber.
"To me, the most exciting thing about these results is they provide some evidence to think that the way we sleep might be novel, in an evolutionary sense," Dr Lesku said.
Half-brain sleeping, he explained, may have evolved in a shared ancestor of reptiles and birds, and separately in the aquatic mammals - or perhaps in an even more distant ancestor, shared by birds, reptiles and mammals, before ancient land mammals somehow lost the knack.
"We tend to think of our sleep as the norm: a behavioural shutdown that is a whole-brain affair. And yet if birds sleep unihemispherically, and if crocodiles and other reptiles that engage in unilateral eye closure - if it turns out that they are also also sleeping unihemispherically, then suddenly our sleep becomes unusual.
"Then, pretty much the only things that aren't sleeping this way are the terrestrial mammals."

Chelsea Ladies thrashed Sunderland Ladies to move two points behind Women's Super League One leaders Manchester City Women.

Left-back Claire Rafferty's crisp, far-post volley put Chelsea ahead, before she poked in to double the lead.
Gemma Davison's low finish made it 3-0, Millie Bright added a long-range fourth after half-time and Ji So-Yun tucked in the fifth for the defending champions.
Sunderland have now conceded 16 goals in the past four league matches.
Wednesday's WSL 1 action
The Lady Black Cats, who beat Chelsea 4-0 at home in the league last year, were second best throughout.
They have now lost four consecutive games, including a 5-1 loss defeat at Arsenal on Saturday.
Carlton Fairweather's side have not won a league match since July and remain three points above bottom club Doncaster Rovers Belles, who have four games in hand.
Chelsea could have increased their winning margin, but England winger Karen Carney struck the post in the first half.
Chelsea winger Gemma Davison: "We always knew we were going to be in the title race. There are some good teams involved here with Man City and Arsenal. You never know what will happen in this league.
We've been putting a lot of hard work on the training ground and it's paid off. We could have had more and we just want to build on it.
"We knew it was going to be tough coming up to Sunderland. They perform well at their home ground and they have a really good crowd that get behind them so we knew we had to take it seriously and come and produce a result and we did that."
Sunderland defender Stephanie Bannon: "Going into the game we were quite confident. On our home ground we thought we could get something but Chelsea have some fantastic players, full of internationals.
"I think we competed for the first 20-25 minutes and we matched them across the park. But once the first one went in, two and three came in quite quick succession and at half-time, we'd given ourselves a mountain to climb.
"We didn't feel sorry for ourselves. We believed in ourselves, we tried to play a bit of football, we tried to compete first and foremost."

Hospital radio in Gwynedd is celebrating 40 years of broadcasting.

Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd was launched in April 1976 in the hospital lecture theatre next to an assortment of specimen jars and a fake skeleton.
Its first programme included an introduction from the chairman of Gwynedd Health Authority, followed by "Spotlight on the Staff", "Down Your Ward" interviews and record requests.
It now broadcasts 24 hours a day from a studio in the main corridor.


Lawyers representing victims of a cholera epidemic in Haiti have filed a lawsuit against the United Nations at a court in New York.

They say UN peacekeepers introduced cholera to Haiti in 2010. The disease killed more than 8,000 people and made hundreds of thousands sick.
The lawyers are demanding compensation of $100,000 (Â£62,000) for every person who died and $50,000 for each of those who became ill.
The UN says it has legal immunity.
Lawyers filed the suit at the US District Court in New York. They said they were left with no other option after the UN had rejected previous claims for compensation.
By Mark DoyleBBC International Development Correspondent
I have rarely covered a story where the facts are so clear. Here are some.
Cholera is spread through human waste. A camp for UN soldiers dumped raw sewage near a river used for drinking water. The soldiers came from Nepal. Cholera is endemic there. Haiti did not have cholera for a century before late 2010 - when  cases of the Nepali strain of the disease occurred near the camp.
But this story is not just about facts. It is about over 8,000 families in one of the poorest countries in the world who have lost loved ones. It is about a United Nations that tries to do good around the world but has, in Haiti, committed  terrible errors.
And, yes, it is also about legal immunity for the UN - a body that says it has to be above "normal" laws or might not be able to operate as it does. But that immunity was surely never designed for a case like this. This story is no longer about facts. It is about moral choices.
"The UN refused to even consider them. We then felt we had no choice but to file in a national court," Brian Concannon, director of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, which is bringing the case, told the BBC.
BBC international development correspondent Mark Doyle says investigations have pointed strongly to leaking sewage at a camp for UN soldiers from Nepal, where cholera is endemic, as the origin of the outbreak in Haiti.
No cases of the bacterial infection, which causes diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and muscle cramps, had been recorded in Haiti for a century until the outbreak in late 2010.
Then cases mounted quickly in an area near the camp.
Leading cholera expert Danielle Lantagne, who once worked for the UN, said in the past that the outbreak's "most likely source" was the UN camp.
In February, a spokesman for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the petition for compensation was "not receivable" under a 1947 convention which grants the UN immunity for its actions.
Our correspondent says the UN's position is unlikely to change.


Reece Thompson's second-half goal handed North Ferriby their first ever away win in the fifth tier as they beat struggling Gateshead.

Although it was goalless at the break, the Villagers responded to four defeats in-a-row by taking the game to the hosts.
Thompson shot just wide from Taron Hare's cross, and Danny Clarke forced Sam Johnson into a good save.
It was no surprise when Thompson gave North Ferriby the advantage in the 49th minute. The deadline-day signing marked his first goal for the Grange Lane club by rounding the goalkeeper and slotting in from a tight angle.
Gus Mafuta's late strike almost levelled the scores, but North Ferriby held on for the win.

Hundreds of families in Cornwall, who spent money on care they say the NHS should have paid for, may have to wait up to two years to get refunded.

NHS Kernow said it was dealing with large numbers of claims for continuing healthcare (CHC) payments.
It said the NHS in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly had spent Â£42m funding the payments in 2012 alone.
NHS Kernow said it had set itself a target to deal with all historic cases within two years.
Matilda Hibbert, 90, is being looked after in a Newquay nursing home with dementia.
Her family have argued her primary needs are health related so the NHS should be paying the Â£30,000 a year cost of her care.
Charlie Hibbert, Mrs Hibbert's grandson, said: "She has to pay out a massive amount of money that she has worked hard all her life for.
"She put into the system and now the system has let her down."
CHC covers the full costs of long-term care, if the primary need is judged to be a "health need."
In Cornwall, 456 individuals or families have made retrospective claims for the funding.
Andrew Abbott, the director of operations at NHS Kernow, said: "We've invested nearly half a million pounds in the team to deal with CHC.
"We are doing our level best to get through it as quickly as we can. These things are quite admin intensive and can take a little time, for which I apologise."
Lisa Morgan, from Hugh James solicitors, said: "We've overturned a number of decisions [in Cornwall] where families should never have been paying in the first case."
Joy Youart, NHS Kernow's managing director, said: "There were 456 claims submitted to the former PCT to cover the two nationally-set deadlines. The review of these cases is being managed alongside on-going continuing healthcare applications.
"Since 1 April to the end of October 2013, 775 referrals have been made to NHS Kernow."


A former Canadian nursing home worker accused of eight counts of murder is facing six new charges.

Ontario Police Provincial charged Elizabeth Wettlauffer with four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
Ms Wettlauffer already faces first-degree murder charges for patients under her care in two southwestern Ontario nursing homes.
The new offences alleged took place between 2007 and 2016.
Police say the latest charges involve four residents of Caressant Care in the town of Woodstock, one resident of Telfer Place in nearby Paris, and one resident who lived in a private residence in Oxford County, Ontario.
Four of the six victims have since died, though police did not link Ms Wettlauffer to their deaths.
In a statement, Revera Living, which owns Telfer Place, said the case had been "disturbing and heart-breaking" but that the elderly resident involved in the alleged September 2015 assault "is doing well".
A Caressant Care Woodstock representative said the care home continues to co-operate fully with the police investigation.
Last fall, the former nurse was charged by police in the deaths of seniors between 75 and 96 years old.
Police said seven of the victims were given a fatal dose of a drug.
The victims were five women and three men and were all residents of Caressant Care and Meadow Park in London, Ontario.
Sandra Zisckind, a lawyer representing two of the victims' families, said on Friday that they plan to file a civil lawsuit against the care homes involved.
The 49-year-old made her first in-person court appearance in Woodstock, Ontario on Friday to answer the new charges.
Ms Wettlauffer registered as a nurse in June 1995 but resigned on 30 September 2016, shortly before police announced the charges against her.
Police identified the murder victims as:


The US is to deploy heavy weapons - including tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery - in a number of European nations, amid Nato concerns over Russia's role in Ukraine.

US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter said the equipment would be placed in Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania.
Nato has vowed to boost defences in the east as ties with Russia have soured.
Russia has condemned the new Nato and US moves.
Responding earlier to reports of the planned deployment, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Nato of "coming to our borders".
On a visit to the Estonian capital, Tallinn, Mr Carter said each set of equipment would be enough either for a military company, or about 150 soldiers, or a battalion - roughly 750 soldiers.
Much of the equipment was already in Europe, officials said.
In addition to the six nations, Germany will also take part in the expanded military effort, but already has the US materiel.
Mr Carter said the equipment would be moved around the region to help forces in Europe train better and be more mobile.
"We intend to move those equipment sets around as exercises move around,'' he said. "They're not static."
According to a fact-sheet provided by the US military, the deployment would include 250 tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles and self-propelled howitzer artillery guns.

Mr Carter's announcement is the latest in a battery of measures intended to reassure Nato allies in the face of a resurgent Russia.
In 2013, the last US tanks left Europe - part of the draw-down at the end of the Cold War. About a year later, small numbers were sent back to a training range in Germany, but now much more significant numbers of armoured vehicles are being deployed.
In an effort to spread the reassurance as widely as possible, the tanks and other combat vehicles will go to seven countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania. This may be intended to send a signal to Moscow as well; penny packets of vehicles dispersed to a number of countries may look less threatening than a full armoured brigade in a single location.
The US has also pledged intelligence, logistical and a range of other support to Nato's new very-high-readiness reaction force. But the message from Washington is clear. It still expects its Nato allies to take on their share of bolstering the alliance's defences.
A Russian defence ministry official, quoted by Reuters news agency, said the placement of weapons in Nato states along the border would be the most aggressive US act since the Cold War.
Earlier this week, Mr Carter said the US would contribute weapons, aircraft and personnel to a new Nato rapid-reaction force.
Nato announced the formation of the force last year, amid concern over the potential threat from Russia and from Islamic State rebels in the Middle East.
Ties between Nato and Russia have been strained since conflict erupted in Ukraine last year.
The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia is aiding the rebels in eastern Ukraine with heavy weapons and soldiers. Independent experts echo that accusation.
Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers".


Nepal's authorities have ruled out finding more survivors of last week's earthquake under the rubble, as the death toll rises to 6,621.

"We are trying our best in rescue and relief work but now I don't think that there is any possibility of survivors," Home Ministry spokesman Laxmi Prasad Dhakal told AFP.
Nepal said 14,021 people were injured in the 7.8-magnitude quake on Saturday.
The fate of thousands of people in remote areas remains unknown.
The death toll could go up, as search and rescue efforts are still continuing in several hill districts including Dhading, Rasuwa and Sindhupalchok, relief co-ordinator Hemanta Pal said.
While the vast majority of casualties were in Nepal, about 100 people are reported to have died in neighbouring India, Tibet, and Bangladesh.
The EU envoy to Nepal, Rensje Teerink, said on Friday that the whereabouts of 1,000 EU citizens was still unknown.
Nepal has repeatedly called for more foreign help and humanitarian aid, admitting it was ill-prepared for the disaster.
Landslides and poor weather have hampered efforts to deliver aid to isolated districts, and there are only about 20 helicopters available for the rescue and relief operations.
Krishna Devi Sreshta is carefully picking her way through the rubble of what was her home. It's one of about 25 houses in Sankhu, just an hour's drive from Kathmandu, that was completely destroyed by the earthquake.
She's here to see if she can salvage anything. "We were in the field when the earthquake hit," she says. "That's why we were saved."
Not everyone was so lucky. About 50 members of this community died. She points to the clothes that she's wearing. "This is what I was wearing last Saturday. It's all I have left."
Through a narrow doorway I can see the inside of her house, but it's too dangerous to go in. Everything has been removed from the house. "That was my fridge," Krishna says, pointing at some twisted remains outside. "And over there my television."
A group of volunteers arrive with shovels and spades and walk past. They are here to help. No-one else is.
Justin Rowlatt: Mountain to climb for relief work
The country's Information Minister, Minendra Rijal told the Associated Press news agency that Nepal needed 400,000 tents but so far had only been able to hand out 29,000.
Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat said the country needed better food aid. "We have received things like tuna fish and mayonnaise. What good are those things for us? We need grains, salt and sugar," Mr Mahat told AP.
Nepal is also yet to receive tens of millions of dollars pledged by foreign donors, Mr Mahat said.
"Not a single dollar has been deposited into government accounts," he said.
"So, I don't say that it will not come. It will take some time but as of now the government's entire operation is entirely funded by the government's own internal resources."

Unicef has also warned that children in the worst-affected areas have been left "homeless, in deep shock and with no access to basic care", with monsoon season just weeks away.
"Hospitals are overflowing, water is scarce, bodies are still buried under the rubble and people are still sleeping in the open. This is a perfect breeding ground for diseases," Rownak Khan, Unicef's deputy representative in Nepal, said.
Nepalese authorities have temporarily banned the slaughter of animals and sale of meat and fish in parts of Kathmandu in an attempt to prevent disease outbreaks.


Motherwell midfielder Stephen Pearson has left the club to join Indian Super League side Atletico de Kolkata.

Pearson, 33, began his career at Motherwell before leaving to join Celtic in 2004.
He returned for a second stint at Fir Park in 2015 after spells in England with Derby, Stoke and Bristol City.
"This was something I was really keen to do and I want to thank everyone at Motherwell for the way they've handled this," Pearson said.
"It's with a heavy heart that I go, but at the same time, I am confident the club is in decent shape, with a very good manager and some exciting young talent bubbling under the surface waiting to get their chance, alongside the excellent senior professionals already there.
"I've enjoyed my second spell at Fir Park. I want to thank the fans for all their support and who knows, one day I may be back for another go at it."
Pearson was under contract with Motherwell until October and the Lanarkshire club have received compensation from Atletico de Kolkata.
Motherwell manager Mark McGhee said: "We are desperately disappointed to lose Stephen, but we've known for some time now that this move was on the cards.
"There was absolutely no fall out, it was all extremely amicable, and we understand his personal circumstances. He leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Motherwell FC.
"However, it was then incumbent upon us to try and recoup something to help us find someone else, and that's what we've done. We have been and are engaged in trying to secure a replacement and the midfield area is our priority."
Meanwhile, defender Steven Hammell, Motherwell's post-war record league appearance holder with 530 games, has agreed a new two-year contract.
He said: "I've never made any secret of my feelings for this club, so there is no one happier that my future is sorted out and I can get on with my football."


Nigeria's former national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has been arrested for allegedly stealing $2bn (Â£1.3bn), his representatives say.

Mr Dasuki is accused of awarding phantom contracts to buy 12 helicopters, four fighter jets and ammunition. He denies the allegations.
The equipment was meant for the fight against Boko Haram Islamist militants.
Mr Dasuki was picked up early in the morning by security agents, a PR firm representing him said.
Two weeks ago, President Muhammadu Buhari ordered Mr Dasuki's arrest after he was indicted by a panel investigating the procurement of arm under the last administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
PRNigeria said he was picked up by intelligence agents from his home in the capital, Abuja, where he was already under house arrest facing separate charges.
Later on Tuesday, the former governor of Sokoto state, Attahiru Bafarawa and owner of a Lagos-based private TV station, Raymond Dokpesi, were detained separately by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in connection with the alleged fraud.
Both men, who are political allies of the former president, have denied any involvement in the arms deal.
Their arrest follows those of some of Mr Dasuki's associates by EFCC on Monday.
The anti-corruption body said they included former Minister of State for Finance Bashir Yuguda and the sons of some prominent politicians of the former ruling party over allegations of impropriety in relation to the arm deal.
Earlier, Mr Dasuki said he had not been given a chance to defend himself before the investigative panel and described its recommendation as "politically motivated".
The former army colonel is already facing a trial for allegedly possessing illegal firearms.
He is the first senior official of the former government to be charged under the rule of President Muhammadu Buhari, who took in office in May.
The BBC's Martin Patience in Lagos says Mr Dasuki's arrest will reinforce President Buhari's message that he will not tolerate corruption no matter how senior the official.
The president was elected partly on a promise to clean up Nigeria's notoriously corrupt politics, our correspondent says.
Boko Haram has killed thousands in north-eastern Nigeria in its six-year campaign to create an Islamic state.


Landowners and developers are examining the potential for a wind farm site hosting up to 140 turbines in the Lowther Hills in Dumfries and Galloway.

Buccleuch and 2020 Renewables said the project could "transform the area".
Preliminary talks have been held with other landowners, Dumfries and Galloway Council, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Scottish government.
It has been stressed that "no decision to proceed" has been taken and a range of options are being considered.
John Glen, chief executive of Buccleuch, said: "We have a structured approach to land management that involves looking at land use from an economic delivery and environment perspective and what it can deliver for the local, regional and sometimes national interest.
"It appears to us that this area of land could potentially deliver more both economically and environmentally and provide more benefit to local and regional communities.
"At present, we are undertaking feasibility work into a number of proposals and will discuss the results of our work with consultees and the communities."
He said the range of options for the site "under active consideration" included the potential to build up to 140 turbines.
"At that scale the project would be one of Scotland's largest wind farms, making a significant contribution to the Scottish government's renewable energy targets," he added.
Mr Glen said the wind farm could create 300 to 400 construction jobs over a four-year period with 20 to 30 operational jobs on completion.
Consultation is scheduled to begin soon with Wanlockhead and other local communities.
The proposed site is near the Muirkirk and North Lowther Uplands Special Protection Area.
Alan Baker, managing director of 2020 Renewables, said: "We are still in the early stages of this process and continue to develop our thinking.
"However, it is apparent that the site in question has tremendous potential to deliver economic and environmental benefit on a very significant scale."


Shares in arts and crafts marketplace Etsy surged 88% in their US market debut, valuing the 10-year-old Brooklyn firm at nearly $3.3bn (£2.2bn).

Late on Wednesday, the firm priced its shares at $16, higher than expected due to investor interest.
Etsy customers bought nearly $2bn worth of goods last year.
However, the firm has yet to turn a profit - and warns it may never do so, due to its commitment to social responsibility.
In a blog post, boss Chad Dickerson said that the investors who decide to buy shares in the firm understood that the company was focused on more than just profits.
"The investors we met on the roadshow understand that the key to Etsy's long-term success is building on and extending what has made Etsy successful to date: an inspired community of creative entrepreneurs, buyers who want to buy unique merchandise that they can't find anywhere else, and a values-led community-based business that focuses on the long term," he wrote.
Investors were keen to get a share of the offering despite the firm's ethos.
Etsy reserved 15% of the shares it sold to smaller buyers, such as its sellers, who could purchase up to $2,500 worth of stock.
The shares trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbol ETSY.


In the third of a week-long series by guest bloggers, photographer Matt Dunham looks back at his year covering the biggest news stories for the Associated Press news agency(AP).

Matt Dunham is a 33-year-old British photographer who studied Documentary Photography at the University of Wales in Newport and has worked on the staff at AP since 2005. He is best known for his picture of Prince Charles and his wife Camilla when their car was attacked during the student protests in London in December 2010.
Here's Matt's selection, starting with a series from Japan following the earthquake and tsunami that struck the country in March.
People residing in the earthquake-prone regions of the world live day-to-day with the reality that one could hit at any time.  The earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan on 11 March was the biggest to hit the country since modern records began and killed more than 15,000 people.
I was covering an ice skating event in Sheffield when I received a call from my regional boss at AP, Tony Hicks. The Department for International Development were organising a flight for British search and rescue teams to deploy to Japan and they had room for a number of media to go with them. The flight was due to leave fours hours later from Manchester Airport.
I wasn't exactly kitted out with the necessary equipment for such an assignment as all my camping stuff was at home in London.  However my text colleague David Stringer was making his way to the airport from London with a Bgan (Broadband Global Area Network), a satellite internet connection device, which would enable us to transmit our pictures and copy, and I eventually managed to get us some gear at a camping shop.
We landed at a US military base in northern Japan and along with the rescue teams we were driven to the tsunami affected area so we could co-ordinate with the Japanese emergency services.
We set up camp in a gymnasium that was absolutely freezing.  We asked ourselves how anybody trapped in the remains of a building could survive the freezing temperatures at night.
The rescue workers were desperate to find survivors. But after three days of finding nothing but bodies, the decision was made that they would leave Japan as they deemed the chances of finding anyone still alive extremely low.
This was not the end for me though as I was assigned to join AP's team of Japanese staffers. My photographic colleague Shizuo Kambayashi and reporter Foster Klug picked me up and we drove to Kesennuma where a giant vessel had been washed ashore.  It was unbelievable seeing the strange places where cars and boats had ended up, coming to rest on some of the concrete buildings that remained on their foundations. It was a way of indicating just how high the tsunami waters rose.
I've purposefully chosen to reflect on this image of Kate looking back rather than the kiss picture, as that was something everyone was expecting to happen, drawing the inevitable comparisons with the kiss Charles and Diana shared on the same balcony 30 years earlier.
I like this frame as it is an unexpected moment where Kate gives the assembled masses a conspiratorial look of happiness and confidence as she turns away with William to walk into her new life as a future queen.
The picture was taken from a tiered platform put up on the Queen Victoria memorial, where 64 positions had been carefully marked up for photographers directly opposite the balcony where the royal couple were expected to share their first public kiss as husband and wife. We were asked to arrive at the memorial at 6am with the royals expected to make their balcony appearance just under seven and a half hours later.  One relief was that a toilet had been put in our media enclosure which meant we could take drinks and snacks to last the day.
This picture was shot on a Canon 1D MkIV camera with an 800mm long lens to give a close-up view of the couple, from what I'd guess was the 70-or-so metre distance between us.  One problem with taking photographs on such a long lens from a distance like that is having to deal with atmospheric heat haze. This makes the images appear less sharp than if you were standing much closer.  The heat haze was also intensified by the crowds that were standing between our elevated platform and the forecourt of Buckingham Palace.
I had also set up three other remotely triggered cameras with different lenses to give a wide, medium and another tight view of the balcony scene. They were all connected with cables so that when I took a picture with the main 800mm camera all the others would fire at the same time, capturing the same moment.
When working for an international news agency on an event with such a global interest the images need to arrive at the picture desks of AP's subscribers as quickly as possible. This was particularly important for countries in different time zones where the timing of the kiss meant that it needed to make their late night printing deadlines.
To make our delivery as timely as possible, AP and the other large news agencies paid to have broadband speed internet lines installed beside our platform.  Trying to send pictures using the mobile phone network would have been virtually impossible. When crowds of thousands assemble it tends to overload the nearest mobile phone masts, but by plugging the internet cable into a module attached to my main camera I was able to transmit pictures directly to our office in Camden where a team of editors were waiting to crop, edit and caption before transmitting the pictures to our clients.
I'm pleased to say everything went well with the photography that day, which was a huge relief for me. Text journalists can reflect on things after they have happened but as a news photographer if you miss an historic moment there is no second chance to capture it again, which is why it was very kind of William and Kate to kiss twice that day. We still needed to capture both kisses, and it turned out the second kiss made a better picture as it had the little bridesmaid covering her ears.
In Britain we have a genre of photography that is regularly practiced by news and celebrity photographers alike, the car shot.  When waiting for a person in the news agenda sometimes the only way to take a photograph of them is through the window of the vehicle they are travelling in.
Car shots are not the kind of pictures individuals would hang on their walls as they often capture people at a low-point or time of crisis in their lives. In many other countries, photographers are given access to take pictures inside courts, parliaments and committee hearings but in Britain this is not the case.
If people choose to drive away from gated entrances or underground car parks the only visual possibility left by that stage is a car shot for the photographers, and footage of photographers taking the pictures for the broadcasters.  Stories need visuals as readers and viewers want to see what's happening.
The two most important technical aspects to get a good result in these situations are the flash settings you need to penetrate the window, and the focus of the lens.
When word came through of the News of the World's closure amidst the phone-hacking scandal, the media descended on the Wapping site to report on it.  As a photographer you need to think of everything you can use to illustrate it as effectively as possible.  Images of the building, News of the World signs, the multitude of television sat' trucks, television correspondents speaking on live broadcasts, News of the World employees hugging and drinking outside the pub next door and ideally you'd capture the main protagonists, Rebekah Brooks and James Murdoch (Rupert Murdoch was at a conference in the US on that day).
On this day a number of photographers were standing on a street corner with a view of the building's underground car park exit as we suspected Brooks and Murdoch would depart from there.  Members of the Sunday tabloid's staff had told us they were still in the building so we had to wait it out.  It took a fair while for them to leave and it was getting later into the evening by which time some of our group had left.
James Murdoch was the first to leave and then a little while later Brooks came out.  Her departure caught us by surprise as word got out that she had already left and so with British newspaper deadlines approaching we were sitting on the pavement with heads in laptops sending the photos we'd taken of Murdoch.  One observant member of our group spotted a vehicle pull out from the car park and shouted to the rest of us, something it's always nice to do for one another.
The focus of my picture is off, it's a muzzy, but that doesn't lessen the fact that her gaze comes from a time of crisis in the history of British newspapers.
I'd been in Norway for three days covering the aftermath of Anders Behring Breivik's attack in Norway. Breivik had set off a bomb in Oslo before heading to the island of Utoeya where he killed at least 68 people at an island youth camp run by the ruling Labour Party.
This campsite jetty across the water from the island had become a place people came to lay floral tributes in memory of the victims.  The beautiful scenery and calm sound of the water were so at odds with the horror that took place on the island.
By the time I took this picture AP had flown in four photographers to Oslo so we could spread ourselves around, each one covering different aspects of the story.  On this day when Breivik was due to appear in court for the first time, a minute's silence was planned across Norway and thousands of people were expected to attend an Oslo 'Rose March' memorial in the afternoon. Utoeya was an hour or so drive from Oslo where we were all staying.  I'd taken our shared hire car down to the mainland area opposite the island and had spent most of the morning using a 500mm lens with a 1.4x converter to watch the police who were still carrying out investigations on the island.
As the time for the silence approached another British photographer Jeff Mitchell and I went down to the jetty to see what would happen for the minute's silence.  Various people were gathering at the water's edge, a mixture of campers, relatives and members of the media.
Photographing a solemn scene like this is emotionally tough.  We are very aware of how people are feeling and have to find a balance for how close to stand when taking our pictures.   How can you do anything else but empathise with their loss, or reflect on how you would feel if one of your loved ones had lost their lives on that island?
The one track and field competitor even non-athletics fans have heard of is Usain Bolt.  The men's 100m final is billed as the showpiece of any high-profile athletics meeting, and at the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea, it was reigning Olympic champion and world-record holder Bolt who was the man the spectators came to see.
Sports are interesting to photograph in the sense that there is always the potential for something unexpected to happen, even with an event that lasts less than 10 seconds.
We covered this race with a team of photographers, all from different parts of the globe, and each taking a different vantage point dotted around the track.  The prime photographer position, and number one pressure spot, is sitting head-on to the finish line where you will get the clean picture of the winner crossing the line towards you.  My colleague Anja Niedringhaus, who's also a hugely talented and experienced conflict photographer, was doing the job for AP on this occasion.
My job that night was to be at the start, to shoot the competitors coming out the blocks and to keep an eye on Bolt as he likes to showboat for the fans and cameras alike.  It was, I felt, the least pressured position to be given and one I was very happy with.  My Texan colleague David Phillip, who is a top-notch sports photographer and technical whiz, was waiting on the infield beside the finish line to trigger his set of remote controlled cameras on the line, and then do the celebration lap of honour run-round with the winner.
We'd talked about the fact that the rule change meant that one false start and the athlete is disqualified.  However slim, there was always a chance that it could be Bolt in that unfortunate position, and on this occasion that is what happened.
The photo here shows Bolt, disqualified, running vest thrown off in frustration, and gesturing as he watches the race on the stadium's big screen by the start.  He later overcame the disappointment to take the gold medal in the 200m race and helped set a new world record for the Jamaican men in the 4x100m relay on the last day of the competition.  It's not hard to guess where all eyes will be pointing next summer when the Olympics comes to London, and I hope to be by the start for the 100m again, this time not seeing anyone disqualified.
Britain's Met Office said maximum temperatures were around ten degrees above normal for September and Londoners flocked outdoors to soak up the sun.  The swimming ponds on Hampstead Heath are not heated, and though the temperatures were fine to sunbathe in, the water was incredibly cold.  I stayed at the pond for a while chatting to different people and becoming part of the landscape so they were comfortable with my being there.
The longer you spend photographing a scene, the more people become immune to a camera pointing at or around them.  To begin with people are usually curious as to why you are taking pictures and ask questions, like who you work for, or how much your cameras are worth. Once satisfied they sometimes pose in a snapshot manner asking you take a picture of them, and finally the novelty of being photographed wears off and they go back to acting naturally again.
The best unposed pictures of daily life happen either when people don't notice your camera or because their attention is focused elsewhere, in this case her attention was on the cold water.
