The political crisis means that the Northern Ireland Executive still has not agreed a budget for the 2017/18 financial year.

So what happens next?
If the politicians are not in a position to produce a budget, the civil service could take over.
Legislation allows the permanent secretary in the Department of Finance to take control if a budget act has not been passed at least three working days before the end of the financial year.
The official can access a sum of money not exceeding 75% of this year's budget and direct how it is spent.
If we get to the end of July and there is still no deal that official then has the right to spend an amount equivalent to 95% of this year's budget.
So that implies significant in-year cuts at Stormont unless a budget is produced by either an Executive or a direct rule minister.
This contingency plan was mooted during a previous budget crisis but was described by the then Finance Minister Arlene Foster as "dramatic and draconian."
The current finance minister, MÃ¡irtÃn Ã“ Muilleoir, has emphasised that the legislation means "monies will continue to flow".
However the TUV leader Jim Allister, who is also a senior barrister, said his reading of the law suggests it will not be so straightforward.
He believes that the Executive must at least issue a draft budget before the permanent secretary is empowered to take control.
Short of that, he thinks it could require emergency amending legislation at Westminster.
Whoever is correct, the budget uncertainty will have an impact.
Voluntary and community groups which rely on Executive will shortly have to put staff on notice of redundancy as they cannot be sure what funding they will get in the coming financial year.


Former singer Gary Glitter sexually assaulted a teenage girl after she had been taken to meet him backstage after a show, a court has heard.

The woman sobbed as she told Southwark Crown Court how she was assaulted in his dressing room at a nightclub in Watford, when she was aged 13 or 14.
Mr Glitter said the assault would be their "secret", she told the jury.
Gary Glitter, 70, - whose real name is Paul Gadd - denies 10 charges relating to three girls.
Giving evidence, the woman, now aged 48, said she had been taken to meet him by her mother and her mother's partner - who worked in the music industry.
The singer then asked if the girl could be left alone with him, she said.
The glam rock artist, who was still wearing a silver sequinned jumpsuit, then asked her to sit on his lap. He asked her for a kiss, before sexually assaulting her, she said.
The ordeal lasted for about 10 minutes and only stopped when there was a knock on the dressing room door, she added.
When asked if the singer had said anything to her during the incident, the woman replied: "He asked if I liked it."
She told the court she did not tell anyone about the alleged assault until 2013, when she confided in a counsellor, who advised her to contact the police.
Gary Glitter is accused of two counts of indecent assault in relation to the woman.
Under cross-examination, Sallie Bennett-Jenkins QC - representing Mr Glitter - put it to the woman that she had made up the allegations.
She said the singer had stopped wearing platform shoes by the time of the alleged offences, because of "the damage done over time to his feet".
"I am going to suggest that you are wrong on those points of detail," Ms Bennett-Jenkins added.
However, the alleged victim said: "No, he had his platform shoes on."
Earlier, the court heard how a girl who allegedly had sex with Mr Glitter when she was 12 had told her brother she was "going out" with the singer.
The alleged victim - now aged 50 - says the singer had sex with her at a hotel after a show in Leicester, in 1977, after giving her champagne.
In a statement, the brother of the alleged victim said their father had got tickets for his sister and their mother to see the singer perform and to meet him.
He said they were "all very excited about the fact that they got to meet him backstage".
His sister, who he said had posters of the entertainer plastered across her bedroom walls and ceiling, had been "ecstatic" at meeting him.
"It was after this that (she) went on to see Gary Glitter - I never went with her," he said in a statement, read out in court.
"I remember her spending nights away and I also remember her telling me that she was going out with Gary Glitter," he added.
Years later the alleged victim told her daughter how Gary Glitter had been "bigger than Elvis" and described the first time she slept with him, the jury heard.
In her statement, the daughter of the alleged victim said she had been told about a time her mother found herself alone in a hotel suite with him.
"Mum didn't go into detail of what went on, other than to say this was the first time she had sex with Gary," she said in the statement.
In another statement read out to the jury, a family friend said she discovered dried up red roses in the alleged victim's bedroom with a note signed "love Gary".


Google is to begin rolling out version 5.0 of its Android operating system, codenamed Lollipop, on Friday.

The company describes the update as a "quantum leap forward", thanks to its revamped design and new features.
Android already has an 84.7% share of global smartphone shipments, according to research company IDC.
But engineering chief, Hiroshi Lockheimer, told the BBC that among his team's goals was making Android more appealing to the business sector.
"We've made a concerted effort around focusing on the enterprise-use case," he said.
"If you think about it most people only carry one device.
"The one device that they carry [should] work for various scenarios in their life -obviously for personal use, but also if they want to use it for corporate purposes.
"We wanted to make sure that Lollipop is designed in such way that corporations are happy to endorse it."
One example of this, he said, was the ability for a user to have both a personal and work "personality" on a single device - and the ability to switch "seamlessly" between them.
The two personalities would let apps access different sets of stored data, allowing the user's employer to monitor the contents of one partition but not the other.
Blackberry 10 and Samsung's Knox add-on for Android had previously pioneered this idea.
Mr Lockheimer added that making encryption of stored data the default setting would increase security.
And a new facility allowing Android to be put in "do not disturb" mode for a pre-determined period of time should minimise the risk of missing important calls or notifications after a meeting was over because the user forgot to switch off the setting.
"Given the decrease in market share of Blackberry, there is a big opportunity to gain enterprise customers," said Jack Kent, from the IHS consultancy.
"Apple has also been making a big play for that with the iPhone and iPad.
"Samsung had previously taken the lead with Android with its Knox security product, but it makes sense for Google to try to take the lead itself with what it's doing with Android Lollipop."
For most users, the stand-out change in Android Lollipop will be its new look.
Google calls its new paradigm "material design", and it places fresh emphasis on graphical animations and colour changes in response to the device owner's actions.
"The animations and ripples and things like that are eye candy, but at the same time there's a purpose to them. They give feedback to the customer that you've tapped here, and the software got it, and is doing something about it," said Mr Lockheimer.
"And when one thing moves from one side of the screen to the other it gives you a sense of place and that you're moving forwards in the screens, or up or down.
"These are very interesting visual cues to help the user understand what is happening in the software."
The card-based interface, introduced in the anticipatory search app Google Now, now plays a greater role.
Notifications adopt a card-like appearance on the lock screen, and the design is also used to deliver Google Search results and to switch from one app to another when multitasking.
Another change with notifications is that device owners can customise which types should rise to the top of the list presented to the user or conversely be prevented from appearing on the lock screen, to help device owners prevent information overload.
Furthermore, new notifications now appear at the top of a device's screen rather than covering its centre to avoid the interruption of other activities such as playing a video game.
Android Lollipop also introduces a new feature called "smart lock".
This allows users to set a location - such as their home, car or office desk - or Bluetooth device - such as a smart watch or work keyboard - as a trigger to disable the need to type in a password
Behind the scenes, Android Lollipop uses a different process to execute and compile code than before.
The switch, from Dalvik runtime to Art runtime, should mean that apps work slightly quicker and use less battery power if they are optimised for the new code.
It also means Android becomes capable of taking advantage of 64-bit processors, which have the potential of supporting more RAM memory than before.
Mr Lockheimer added that users should notice fewer glitches as a result of the move.
"There's this notion of what we call garbage collection - the system is managing the memory for you and once in a while it has to collect unused memory and free it up for applications," he explained.
"In the past, with Dalvik, garbage collection could actually take longer than it should have - I'm talking milliseconds, but in terms of a CPU [central processing unit] that's a long time.
"What that would result in were temporary glitches, like an animation jumping and not being quite as fluid as it needed to be.
"In Art we've optimised the runtime to make garbage collection very quick and the glitches much less common than before."
Google will release the software development kit and system images for Nexus 5 phones and Nexus 7 tablets on Friday via the Android developers site- allowing app creators to test their software.
On 3 November, Android Lollipop will become available to the public when the Nexus 9 and Nexus Player go on sale.
Other manufacturers and networks will have to test the software before they release it alongside updates of their own software for their machines.


Bromley ended their six-match winless run with victory against 10-man North Ferriby.

Taron Hare was shown a straight red for a challenge on Alan Dunne in the 18th minute and Bromley took full advantage.
The hosts took the lead 11 minutes before half-time when Bradley Goldberg headed in after being left unmarked from a corner.
They had to wait until the 78th minute for a second which came when North Ferriby failed to deal with another corner and George Porter forced the ball home.
Jordan Wynter fired in from 25 yards three minutes into stoppage time to round off a comfortable victory.

Prime Minister David Cameron has issued a direct appeal to car makers Aston Martin to consider building their new luxury SUVs in Wales.

He said that a large MoD hangar could be made available to the company at St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan in what he described as a "great offer".
BBC Wales understands the firm is considering sites in St Athan and another in Coventry.
An assembly plant for Aston Martin could create hundreds of jobs.
The Welsh government has been in talks with Aston Martin for many months.
But earlier the car maker said no decision has been taken on the location of a new manufacturing plant.
A spokesperson said: "No decision has been taken on a location of a new manufacturing plant; we are considering a wide variety of domestic and international options."
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said it was "brilliant" that Mr Cameron had made a direct pitch to Aston Martin to "bring the James Bond brand to Wales".
He said it was an excellent potential development and the Welsh government had been working hard, alongside the UK government.
Mr Crabb said bringing the jobs to St Athan would be a "tremendous achievement".
The plea from Mr Cameron came hours after he announced a deal which would create 250 highly-skilled jobs servicing armoured vehicles in Merthyr Tydfil.
Mr Cameron told BBC Wales he was "delighted" the new plant would be created in Wales.
The prime minister has been visiting the Royal Welsh show in Powys.
This could be seen as a dangerous game being played by David Cameron.
It seems he is trying to bounce Aston Martin into a major investment at the Ministry of Defence base at St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan.
I understand the final decision by the company is a matter of months away. It is hugely sensitive and behind the scenes the Welsh government is nervous about it being made public in this way.
If the firm decides to start production in Coventry, which is said to be the other main UK rival to St Athan, or abroad, then inevitably Mr Cameron will face criticism.
But you could say that if someone is going to try to publicly bounce a world-famous car firm into making a decision then it might as well be the prime minister.
If the investment goes ahead, it would be a spectacular chapter for St Athan, which has largely proved to be a graveyard for ambitious schemes in the past such as a defence military training academy.


Two men have said they are "very grateful" to beach patrol staff who rescued them when their kayak capsized off the Essex coast.

The pair were fishing when their boat overturned in wind three-quarters of a mile off Walton-on-the-Naze.
Lee Holt, 67, said there had been a "strong offshore wind" which had not been so noticeable on shore.
Beach patrol staff sent a jet ski out to right the boat and bring them back in on Tuesday lunchtime.
Mr Holt, from Frinton, had been out with Jim West, 72, from Holland-on-Sea, at their "normal spot" near Walton Pier when they flipped over at about 11:30 BST.
Mr Holt said: "We started drifting towards the Naze and the anchor was not holding, so we decided to pick it up and turn back and as we were doing that we turned over, lost our paddles and rods and ended up in the water."
Harry Castle, from Tendring District Council's beach patrol team, rode out to get them back in the kayak and tow them to dry land, where Luke Hood helped look after them.
Once they warmed up, they did not require medical treatment.
Mr Holt said: "The way they continued to care for us was fantastic and we cannot thank them enough.
"One of them even went out again to try to salvage our equipment."


Two men were detained after police recovered drugs with an estimated street value of about £20,000 from a property in Dingwall in the Highlands.

Police Scotland said substances, suspected to be cocaine, heroin and diazepam, were seized during an intelligence led operation on Friday.
Thousands of pounds of cash were also recovered.
A spokesman said: "Two men, aged 54 and 33, have been detained and will be reported to the procurator fiscal."


Tributes have been paid to the man who set up Clearwell Caves in the Forest of Dean as a tourist attraction.

Ray Wright, who reopened the mine as a working museum, has died aged 85 after a long battle with bone cancer, his family said.
The caverns near Coleford attract about 50,000 visitors each year.
They were mined for iron ore and red ochre for more than 4,000 years until the mine closed in 1945. They were reopened by Mr Wright in 1968.
Jonathan Wright said people "thought he was crazy" when his father first suggested opening up the underground caves.
"He wanted to show people the work the miners had done. People just thought he was mad.
"He stuck at it and worked away at it and gradually opened up the caverns, and people came.
"Gradually, people began to realise these were fascinating workings, that Ray was making something quite unusual and interesting.
"The caves are a tribute to his vision."
David Broadbent, of the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean Tourism Association, said Mr Wright had been "a font of knowledge about the forest's history".
Mr Wright was secretary of the Forest of Dean Freeminers Association for more than 30 years, and was one of four current Verderers of the Forest of Dean.


Pensions Minister Baroness Altmann has told the BBC she considered helping women who have had the start date of their state pension put back twice, but could not find a way to do so.

Some 500,000 women in their late 50s were affected by the decision of the coalition government.
It added up to 18 months onto the start date of their state pension.
Speaking to the BBC's Money Box programme, she said her job was to implement the past government's policy.
Many of the women affected say it has left them trying to bridge the gap at an age where re-entering the labour market is very difficult.
One of those affected was Wendy, who started work in her teens in Manchester and who expected her pension at 60.
"I intended to stay in employment, but that came to an end at 61. I claimed Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) and so far have applied for almost 4,000 jobs," she said.
She gets £65 a week JSA and has to find £25 from that to go towards her rent.
"Gas and electric take up most of the rest of the money. I am dependent on the generosity of neighbours for food. It is not a position I expected to find myself in," she said.
Baroness Altmann said: "I have so much sympathy for people whose pension age was increased at relatively short notice by up to 18 months.
"I don't have billions of pounds to spend on keeping state pension age unequal for longer.
"My job is to implement the laws that have been properly passed."
The minister claimed that when these women do get their pension they will be on average £8 a week better off on the new state pension.
Campaigners argue that these women will still lose money.
Lin Phillips, who helped found Women Against State Pension Inequality, said: "She's missing the point. We are losing just over £5,000 a year from the pension we have not had. If we had have known we could have prepared for that."
The pressure group wants a transitional payment to tide women like Wendy over the gap between what they expected and what they got.
Baroness Altmann said that was not possible.
"I have been looking at ways in which we might be able to help. I have been looking at it but I can't see any way of doing it," she said.
When asked if she had rejected the idea, she replied: "I haven't rejected anything. I have been looking and I will continue to look but I haven't been able to find anything."

Downsizing has been the name of the game for most clubs in the Scottish Championship now that Hibernian have taken their delayed exit back to the top flight along with their sizeable support.

Thanks to the sale of Stevie Mallan to Barnsley, St Mirren have been able to afford significant changes for a second transfer window running, while Dundee United have done likewise despite continued question marks about the finances at Tannadice.
Scott McDonald's move to United from Motherwell was the most headline-grabbing signing made by a Championship club this summer, albeit the Australia striker is in the twilight of his career. After topping a League Cup group containing Premiership city rivals Dundee, Ray McKinnon's side should be strong favourites for the title.
Falkirk, who ended up as Hibs' main challengers last season, have not been as active, but they romped their League Cup group and could be involved in a two-horse race at the top of the table.
St Mirren could mount their own challenge if they start the new league season off the way they finished the last as Jack Ross steered them clear of relegation, while hard-up Dunfermline Athletic could be dark horses after beating Premiership Hearts to the top of their League Cup section.
Relegated Inverness Caledonian Thistle could be too busy rebuilding via the bargain basement under returned manager John Robertson to mount any more than a challenge for a play-off place, but David Hopkin's Livingston are shaping up well to build on their romp to the League One title.
Greenock Morton have done little in the summer market to suggest they can arrest an alarming late-season slump to again secure a play-off place, while Queen of the South are likely to have to rely again on golden oldie goal machine Stephen Dobbie to spearhead their season.
Poor League Cup results suggest that Dumbarton's turnaround in staff is unlikely to save them from another struggle against the drop, with fellow part-timers Brechin City are strong favourites to fill bottom spot after sneaking through the play-offs with two penalty shoot-out victories.
Darren Dods' part-timers probably surprised even themselves by winning promotion through the play-offs after finishing fourth in League One and securing their first visit to the second tier in 11 years.
They have lost some experienced campaigners, like midfielder Alan Trouten, and recruited from players previously operating in the leagues below. Former Alloa Athletic striker Isaac Layne is probably the best known, but Ryan McGeever could be the most astute signing considering his nine goals out of defence in two seasons with Queen's Park.
In: Euan Spark, defender (Dunfermline Athletic); Jordan Sinclair, midfielder (Livingston); Sean Crighton, defender (Livingston); Kalvin Orsi, midfielder (St Mirren); Isaac Layne, forward (Grays Athletic); Ryan McGeever, defender (Queen's Park).
Out: Dougie Hill, defender (Dumbarton); Alan Trouten, midfielder (Albion Rovers); Gareth Rodgers, defender (Edinburgh City); Ross Caldwell, forward; Darren McCormack, defender.
Manager: Darren Dods (appointed June 2015)
Last season: 4th, League One.
Prediction: 10th.
The Sons have been confounding the critics for five seasons now since winning promotion to the Championship. Despite continuing to be part-time, they have steered clear of even the relegation play-off spot and, in Stevie Aitken, have a manager who might have been pinched by a top-tier club by now did it not suit him financially to have a job outside football.
They have lost some experience, such as former Scotland Under-21 goalkeeper Alan Martin, but in Craig Johnston, Tom Walsh and Kyle Hutton they have added midfielders with top-flight experience who will add quality if Aitken can inspire them to rekindle their early-career promise.
In: David Wilson, midfielder (Partick Thistle); Danny Handling, forward (Hibernian); Scott Gallacher, goalkeeper (Hibernian); Chris Johnston, midfielder (Raith Rovers); Andy Dowie, defender (Queen of the South); Mark Stewart, forward (Raith Rovers); Kyle Hutton, midfielder (St Mirren); Chris McLaughlin, defender (Ross County); Dougie Hill, defender (Brechin City); Tom Walsh, midfielder (Limerick); Craig Barr, defender (Raith Rovers). Loan: Ally Roy, forward (Hearts); Sam Wardrop, defender (Celtic).
Out: Alan Martin, goalkeeper (Queen of the South); Gregor Buchanan, defender (St Mirren); Andy Stirling, midfielder (Queen of the South); Darren Barr, defender (retired); Garry Fleming, forward (Alloa Athletic); Mark Docherty, defender (East Fife); Tom Lang, defender (Stranraer). Loan ended: Ross McCrorie, defender (Rangers).

Having missed out on promotion in his first season as Tannadice boss, the pressure is on Ray McKinnon this time as, without Hibs in the division, they have by far the biggest playing budget. With another transfer window behind him, yet more familiar faces have gone and the squad is barely recognisable compared to what he inherited from Mixu Paatelainen.
This summer, he has brought in players who have proven they can perform at this level, or higher, and Scott McDonald, in particular, should be an astute replacement for Hibs-bound Simon Murray despite the Australian striker's advancing years.
James Keatings could be their lucky charm as the striker seeks his fourth promotion in a row with four different clubs after leaving Hibs.
In: Scott McDonald, forward (Motherwell); Tam Scobbie, defender (St Johnstone); Billy King, midfielder (Hearts); Paul Quinn, defender (Ross County); James Keatings, forward (Hibernian); Fraser Fyvie, midfielder (Hibernian); Paul McMullan, midfielder (Celtic); Patrick N'Koyi, forward (Maastricht); Jordie Briels, midfielder (Fortuna Sittard); Deniz Mehmet, goalkeeper (Port Vale). Loan: Harry Lewis, goalkeeper (Southampton); Sam Stanton, midfielder (Hibernian).
Out: Simon Murray, forward (Hibernian); Blair Spittal, midfielder (Partick Thistle); Cammy Bell, goalkeeper (Kilmarnock); Luis Zwick, goalkeeper (Hansa Rostock); Coll Donaldson, defender (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Sean Dillon, defender (Montrose); Aaron Murrell, forward (Berwick Rangers); Brad Smith, midfielder (Cowdenbeath); Paul Dixon, defender; Charlie Telfer, midfielder; Frank van der Struijk, defender; Wato Kuate, midfielder; Jordan Garden, forward. Loan ended: Tony Andreu, midfielder (Norwich City); Thomas Mikkelsen, forward (Odense); Alex Nicholls, midfielder (Barnet); Brett Long, goalkeeper (Motherwell). Loan: Cammy Ballantyne, defender (Montrose).

Money is tight at East End Park and the Pars are one of the clubs that have ditched their development squad this season.
They have lost the fleet-of-foot of loan men Paul McMullan and Gavin Reilly, who have ended up at Championship rivals Dundee United and St Mirren respectively. However, striker Declan McManus and midfielder Dean Shiels have both impressed at this level previously and the latter could provide the midfield creativity that the Pars lacked last season.
In: Andy Ryan, forward (Airdrieonians, undisclosed); Dean Shiels, midfielder (Edmonton); Declan McManus, forward (Fleetwood Town); Jean-Yves M'Voto, defender (Raith Rovers); Fraser Aird, midfielder (Falkirk); Aaron Splaine, midfielder (Kilmarnock).
Out: Lewis Spence, midfielder (Dundee); Rhys McCabe, midfielder (Sligo Rovers); Callum Fordyce, defender (Queen of the South); Euan Spark, defender (Brechin City); Michael Moffat, forward (Ayr United); Andy Geggan, midfielder (Ayr United); David Hutton, goalkeeper (Arbroath); Ben Richards-Everton, defender; Reece Duncan, defender; Evan Horne, midfielder; Johnny Galloway, midfielder; Robbie Crawford, midfielder. Loan ended: Paul McMullan, forward (Celtic); Gavin Reilly, forward (Hearts). Loan: Stuart Morrison, defender (Edinburgh City); Brandon Luke, midfielder (Annan Athletic).

Prediction: 5th
Bairns boss Peter Houston will again be asked to sustain a title challenge with minimal additions to his squad.
Rory Loy, who was on loan to league rivals St Mirren last season, has come in to replace strikers John Baird and Bob McHugh, who will be in opposition with Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Greenock Morton respectively.
Perhaps more crucially, Houston has lost quality on the left in the shape of Luke Leahy, who has joined Walsall. However, Craig Sibbald signed a new contract after a trial with Luton Town but with no club willing to pay a compensation fee for the young midfielder.
In: Rory Loy, forward (Dundee); Alex Harris, midfielder (Hibernian); David Mitchell, goalkeeper (Dundee); Robbie Mutch, goalkeeper (Aberdeen).
Out: John Baird, forward (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Bob McHugh, forward (Greenock Morton); Luke Leahy, midfielder (Walsall); Fraser Aird, midfielder (Dunfermline Athletic); David McCracken, defender (Peterhead); Lewis McMinn, goalkeeper (Stenhousemuir); Cameron Eadie, defender (Elgin City); Kyle Johnson, defender; Cameron Eadie, defender. Loan ended: Danny Rogers, goalkeeper (Aberdeen).
Manager: Peter Houston (appointed June 2014)

Prediction: 2nd
Jim Duffy has worked wonders on a limited budget and Morton were up challenging for promotion until fading late last season because of a lack of strength in depth.
Young players from the Premiership on loan have this summer been replaced with tried and trusted Championship performers and Duffy will be hoping that former Falkirk striker Bob McHugh can sustain his League Cup scoring form into the league campaign.
In: Bob McHugh, forward (Falkirk); Gary Harkins, midfielder (Ayr United); Connor McManus, midfielder (Celtic); Jack Iredale, defender (ECU Joondalup). Loan: Ross Doohan, goalkeeper (Celtic).
Out: Kudus Oyenuga, forward (Chelmsford City); Conor Pepper, midfielder; Jon Scullion, midfielder; Jamie McDonagh, forward. Loan ended: Aidan Nesbitt, midfielder (Celtic); Jamie Lindsay, midfielder (Celtic); Lawrence Shankland, forward (Aberdeen); Luke Donnelly, forward (Alloa Athletic); Bryn Halliwell, goalkeeper (Gartcairn).

In his second spell as Caley Thistle boss, John Robertson has been to some obscure corners of England and the European mainland to reshape the squad inherited from Richie Foran.
Collin Seedorf is the best known - but only because the defender last with Waalwijk is the nephew of former Dutch international Clarence. Midfielder Riccardo Calder had a previous spell in Scotland with Dundee on loan from Aston Villa, but his last port of call was with Lincoln City in the National League.
Latest signing Connor Bell is an Englishman who has spent the last year in Servette's Under-21 squad after nine goals in 26 games for Rhyl in the Welsh Premier. Meanwhile, it's going to be fun listening to the BBC commentary team get their tongues round the name of fellow striker Felitciano Zschusschen, a Dutch-born Curacao international who was with Saarbrucken in the German third tier.
It may take time for Caley Thistle's coat of many colours to weave its magic in the Scottish Championship, if it ever does.
In: John Robertson, manager; Charlie Trafford, midfielder (RoPS); Zachary Elbouzedi, midfielder (West Bromwich Albion); John Baird, forward (Falkirk); Mark Ridgers, goalkeeper (Partick Thistle); Joe Chalmers, defender (Motherwell); Riccardo Calder, midfielder (Aston Villa); Collin Seedorf, defender (Waalwijk); Coll Donaldson, defender (Dundee United); George Oakley, forward (AFC Wimbledon); Felitciano Zschusschen, forward (Saarbrucken); Connor Bell, forward (Servette); Alex Cooper, midfielder (East Fife). Loan: Matthew Elsdon, defender (Middlesbrough).
Out: Richie Foran, manager; Ross Draper, midfielder (Ross County, £100,000); Greg Tansey, midfielder (Aberdeen); Alex Fisher, forward (Motherwell); Josh Meekings, defender (Dundee); Henri Anier, forward (Lahti); Kevin McNaughton, defender (retired); Louis Laing, defender (Hartlepool United); Scott Boden, forward (Wrexham); Jason Brown, defender (Peterhead); Lewis Horner, defender; Dean Ebbe, forward. Loan ended: Billy Mckay, forward (Wigan Athletic); Billy King, midfielder (Hearts); Larnell Cole, forward (Fulham). Loan: Daniel Hoban, goalkeeper (Brora Rangers); Stephen Foster, goalkeeper (Nairn County); Aidan Wilson, forward (Wick Academy); Alasdair Stark, defender (Wick Academy).
Manager: John Robertson (appointed June 2017)
Last season: 10th, Premiership
Prediction: 3rd
Livingston have added former Motherwell youth Dylan Mackin and Josh Peters, who had a spell with Hibs, as they look to ensure they compensate for the loss of Liam Buchanan, whose 27 strikes last season helped the West Lothian side win League One but who himself stayed in the division with relegated Raith Rovers.
But former Hearts forward Dale Carrick topped the scoring charts as Livi won their League Cup group ahead of Premiership outfit Partick Thistle and Peters, still only 20, was sent back on loan to former club Forfar Athletic, where he scored 16 goals to help the Loons win promotion from League Two last season.
However, the return of veteran former Rangers and Hearts goalkeeper Neil Alexander could be the most significant addition.
In: Neil Alexander, goalkeeper (Aberdeen); Dylan Mackin, forward (Motherwell); Scott Robinson, midfielder (East Fife); Ross Brown, midfielder (East Fife); Josh Peters, forward (Forfar Athletic). Loan: Nikolay Todorov, forward (Hearts). Loan: Joe Thomson, midfielder (Celtic); James Penrice, defender (Partick Thistle).
Out: Sean Crighton, defender (Brechin City); Jordan Sinclair, midfielder (Brechin City); Liam Buchanan, forward (Raith Rovers); Morgyn Neill, defender (Stranraer). Loan ended: Charlie Telfer, midfielder (Dundee United); Craig Halkett, defender (Rangers); Liam Kelly, goalkeeper (Rangers). Loan: Josh Peters, forward (Forfar Athletic).

Last season: 1st, League One
Prediction: 7th
Queens have lost some experienced players, as well as speedy wing man Dom Thomas, who was on loan from Motherwell and has moved to Kilmarnock.
The additions have been mainly young, inexperienced and limited - and new signing Alan Martin, the former Scotland Under-21 goalkeeper, could have another season battling to keep a side clear of relegation trouble rather than realising the Palmerston side's promotion play-off ambitions after his move from league rivals Dumbarton.
In: Alan Martin, goalkeeper (Dumbarton); Callum Fordyce, defender (Dunfermline Athletic); Andy Stirling, midfielder (Dumbarton); Shaun Rooney, defender (York City). Loan: Chris Kane, forward (St Johnstone); Jason Kerr, defender (St Johnstone).
Out: Andy Dowie, defender (Dumbarton); Dale Hilson, forward (St Mirren); Jamie Hamill, midfielder (Stranraer); Chris Higgins, defender (Ayr United); Scott Hooper, defender (Annan Athletic); Aidan Smith, forward (Annan Athletic); Jim Atkinson, goalkeeper (Annan Athletic); Owen Moxon, midfielder (Annan Athletic); Ayrton Sonkur, midfielder (Annan Athletic); Steven Rigg, midfielder; Dean Brotherston, forward; Richard Murray, defender; Jay McInally, defender; Shane Glean, defender; Cameron Copeland, goalkeeper; Sam Henderson, goalkeeper.

Prediction: 8th
Jack Ross' massive January overhaul finally dragged St Mirren clear of relegation trouble last season and it is not just the recruitment of two Ross Stewarts, both from Albion Rovers, that will have caused more confusion in the dressing room after another summer of personnel changes.
Despite the sale of midfield maestro Stevie Mallan to Barnsley, the Saints will be looking to join the battle at the other end of the table this time and central defender Gregor Buchanan, formerly of league rivals Dumbarton, could be one to blossom from the chance of full-time football.
In: Darryl Duffy, forward (Mohun Bagan); Craig Samson, goalkeeper (Motherwell); Ian McShane, midfielder (Ross County); Gavin Reilly, forward (Hearts); Cammy Smith, forward (Aberdeen); Gregor Buchanan, defender (Dumbarton); Lewis Morrison, forward (Kilmarnock); Harry Davis, defender (Crewe Alexandra, loan to permanent); Dale Hilson, forward (Queen of the South); Jordan Kirkpatrick, midfielder (Alloa Athletic); Ross Stewart, forward (Albion Rovers, undisclosed); Ross Stewart, goalkeeper (Albion Rovers, undisclosed). Loan: Liam Smith, defender (Hearts).
Out: Stephen Mallan, midfielder (Barnsley, undisclosed); Kyle Hutton, midfielder (Dumbarton); Kalvin Orsi, midfielder (Brechin City); Ben Gordon, defender (East Fife); Jordan Stewart, defender (Clyde).

Worcestershire's Daryl Mitchell has been elected as the new chairman of the Professional Cricketers' Association.

The 33-year-old former captain takes over from Glamorgan wicketkeeper Mark Wallace, who retired on 10 February.
Mitchell, replaced by Joe Leach as captain for 2017, becomes the 14th PCA chairman since its creation in 1967.
"For Daryl to go through the process of being elected by over 400 of his peers show the regard he's held in," said PCA chief executive David Leatherdale.
"There were some strong candidates. But Daryl's been around for 13 or 14 years now. The players know him and what he stands for. He's trusted and respected.
"It's ironic that, having been his boss when I was chief executive of Worcestershire, he's now effectively my boss as chairman of the PCA."
Worcestershire opener Mitchell is scheduled to be in office for the next four years - also the length of the new contract he signed at New Road in December.
He won a closely-contested election ahead of four other candidates - Durham's former England fast bowler Graham Onions, Leicestershire opening batsman Paul Horton, Somerset middle-order batsman James Hildreth and Northamptonshire all-rounder Steven Crook.
Subject to approval at the PCA's AGM on 21 February, Mitchell will be the third Worcestershire captain to fulfil the role, following Tim Curtis (1989-96) and Vikram Solanki (2009-13).
"It's well known now that I wanted to continue as captain," Mitchell told BBC Sport. "I'm not going to lie. It was difficult for me in October but as soon as I made the decision to sign the new contract, that drew a line in the sand.
"Standing for election for this is something I'd have done anyway. I like being busy. But, looking back now, with a bit of water under the bridge, maybe not being captain as well will relieve a little bit of pressure and give me more time to focus on my batting next season.
"It's great to have this new role but I've still got be focused. And it might prove a blessing in disguise in that way."
The other 10 cricketers to have held the role of PCA chairman are Roger Prideaux (1967-68), Jack Bannister (1968-70), Mike Edwards (1970-73), Peter Walker (1973-75), David Brown (1975-80), Chris Balderstone (1980-84), Geoff Cook (1984-89), Matthew Fleming (1996-2003), Martyn Ball (2003-07) and Dougie Brown (2007-09).


The Northern Ireland housing market remains "dysfunctional" and poses a risk to economic recovery, a Stormont-backed taskforce has concluded.

The taskforce was appointed by the Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland.
It was asked to examine the impact of negative equity and repossessions.
The taskforce has warned that the number of people falling behind on their mortgage payments could increase as interest rates begin to rise.
The taskforce is now undertaking further work aimed at developing policy recommendations.
Northern Ireland suffered a huge housing bubble followed by a crash that saw prices fall by almost 50%.
As a consequence, rates of negative equity are much worse than elsewhere in the UK and repossessions have also increased.
A major "at risk" group identified by the taskforce are households who undertook "equity release" remortgages at the height of the market.
They are people who increased their mortgages to release cash for other purposes, such as home improvements or to finance buy-to-let properties.
In 2007, 74% of remortgaging in Northern Ireland was for equity release.
The taskforce said this category of "credit hungry" borrower was disproportionately active in Northern Ireland.
Lower income groups who took out "second charge" mortgages with subprime lenders are also at high-risk.
The taskforce said those lenders have shown "a more tenacious approach to arrears management".
However, it said, in general, lenders have shown "forbearance" and if they had not done so rates of repossessions would be higher.
The taskforce warned that, despite a gradual recovery in the Northern Ireland economy and the housing market, major risks remain.
It said that the Northern Ireland economy "remains some distance from reaching escape velocity"' and that borrowers are "poorly equipped to absorb future income shocks".


A suspicious package left outside an Alliance Party office in east Belfast has been declared a hoax.

Army explosives experts were called out to deal with a suspect package at the offices on the Newtownards Road on Friday night.
Roads were sealed off and traffic diverted as a controlled explosion was carried out.
The premises, used by East Belfast MP Naomi Long, have been targeted a number of times.
Most recently, petrol bomb attacks were carried out on the offices on consecutive nights in April and May.
The attacks began following a Belfast City Council vote in December 2012 restricting the flying of the union flag at the City Hall.
Condemning the latest hoax, Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle said: "It is a serious incident for the local area, it causes serious disruption, it puts people's lives at risk, it can prevent emergency services reaching the area.
"Ultimately we need people with information to share that with the police in order for them to do their job and bring these people to justice."

Mobile phone footage captured Calista, a female rescue llama, fleeing the field in Littleborough after being scared by a dog on Monday evening.
The terrified creature was then spotted running amok in the town's streets.
Calista was eventually tracked down by her owner near Hollingworth Lake several hours later, before being led back home.


Space drama Gravity and 12 Years a Slave have tied for the top prize at the Producer's Guild of America (PGA) awards.

It is the first time the guild has declared a tie for best film in its 25-year history, another indicator that this year's Oscars race is wide open.
The PGA has correctly picked the film that has gone on to win best picture at the Oscars for the last six years.
Disney's Frozen won best animation and Behind the Candelabra won best TV film.
ABC's Modern Family picked up the best episodic comedy award, while Breaking Bad won for best episodic TV drama.
James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson were among those given special honours for their contribution to film.
We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks, scooped best documentary, while The Voice won best competitive TV series.
Other winners included Sesame Street, which won outstanding children's programme.
The PGA awards followed hot on the tails of the Screen Actors Guild awards, which also took place this weekend - SAG voters eschewed both Gravity and 12 Years a Slave, choosing instead 1970s crime caper American Hustle for its top honour.
The Oscars take place on 2 March.
Voting among the 6,000 members runs from 14 to 25 February.


It's a Friday night and I'm about to meet a hot date I hooked up with on a dating app.

But how do I know he's really who he says he is?
After all, online dating fraud is on the rise and it seems easy for people to adopt false identities, stealing photos from other websites and concocting plausible back stories.
Luckily, my date seemed legit, but if I'd been concerned I could have used a service like Circle 6.
You can let six of your closest friends know where you are at all times, and with just one tap you can contact them should you feel in danger while out on a date.
Online dating is a big and growing business - dating apps are worth $2.5bn (Â£2bn) in the US alone, according to Marketdata Enterprises.
New stats from campaign Get Safe Online reveal that seven reports of dating fraud are received by the UK's Action Fraud every day - an increase of 32% over two years.
So what are these companies doing to keep their members safe?
A few of the smaller apps are using technology such as Jumio, a digital identification service, to filter out scammers. Dating app TrueView, for example, uses it and has adopted a trust score verification system.
"We didn't want to create just another dating app, there are tonnes of those," says co-founder Matt Verity.
"We wanted to create one where people felt confident about who they're talking to. The more social media accounts you link to it, the more your trust score goes up," says Mr Verity.
But social media accounts can be bogus, too, and set up in a matter of minutes, so as well as using Jumio to delve into these accounts, they adopt another layer of identification.
"An added level of this trust score is getting users to scan in driving licences and passports - allowing you to verify who you say you are," says Mr Verity.
"The more your trust score goes up, the more trustworthy you'll look on the site."
Users can then choose to filter out anyone who doesn't have the same level of trust verification as themselves. But, he insists, anyone with a very low level trust score for a long period would be looked into further.
Yoti may be useful to check out the credentials of someone you're interested in dating.
The app gives anyone the ability to check the name, photo and age of people they meet online.
Once you've made contact with someone you can simply send them a text via the app, asking them to verify themselves using a selfie, mobile number and ID, such as a passport.
A handful of other small dating sites and apps - Mai Tai for example - use similar verification systems. But VieLoco believes video is also a useful tool.
"Live video chat is the best way to discover if someone doesn't look like their photos or behaves how you might expect them to, which may be a sign that you should proceed with caution," says co-founder Nora Lee Notzon.
But what are the bigger dating companies doing to ensure our safety?
Many issue guidelines, such as never to give out personal information and to watch out for odd language in messages or personal profiles, for example.
Many insist they apply security measures, but won't reveal what systems they use.
A spokesman for Match.com told the BBC: "We have a dedicated team who monitor security on the site, through both up-to-date technology and human checks.
"But, like many companies, we do not disclose details of our security and fraud prevention tools as this provides valuable information to those with criminal intentions."
So we just have to trust them?
"Bigger organisations will use a variety of datasets as part of their counter-fraud solutions," says Andrew McClelland, chief executive of the Online Dating Association (ODA).
"They are able to automate much of this using feeds from data sources such as DVLA [the UK's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency]."
While the ODA does provide a code of practice on how dating websites should be run and how they should keep members safe, he admits that it does "require members to carry out checks, but doesn't prescribe how these checks are done".
"They definitely have systems in place. However, if revealed, they can easily be mirrored by competitors," says Tom Bourlet, a former digital marketing consultant at a dating website.
"Most use photo-recognition software. If the image is a duplicate from another website, it is instantly deleted. We also built an algorithm to read the content for duplication or syndication."
Some experts believe dating sites could be doing more to analyse the language people use.
Last year Tom van Laer and a group of researchers at London's City University compared tens of thousands of emails pre-identified as lies with those known to be truthful. The algorithm analysed their word use, structure and context for linguistic differences.
"Liars cannot generate deceptive emails from actual memory so they avoid spontaneity to evade detection," says Mr van Laer.
Algorithms can pick up on these traits, he says.
A recent investigation by Wired magazine revealed just how cavalier some of these dating sites services can be with our personal data.
And with many dating companies not being transparent about what systems they use to protect us, are we in danger of losing faith in them?
A recent YouGov survey revealed that only half of UK consumers are confident that the personal details on someone's dating profile are true.
But that doesn't seem to be stopping hundreds of millions of people around the world from using online dating sites and apps. And many have found love through them.
But until there is a bulletproof way of weeding out the fraudsters, the advice must be: proceed with caution.

A "significant" fire has broken out at a furniture shop in Ballymena, County Antrim and spread to adjoining shops.

It has already affected five units on Broughshane Street and the fire service are currently trying to stop the fire from spreading further.
One firefighter has been slightly injured while tackling the blaze which began at 17:00 BST at the Woodgreen furniture store.
Police have said that Brougshane Street will stay closed overnight on Tuesday.
Traffic is being diverted at Chapel Roundabout.
Motorists are being asked to avoid the Broughshane Street, William Street and Broadway Avenue areas of the town.
Eyewitness Emma Hamilton had been shopping in Broughshane Street just minutes before the fire was spotted.
She filmed the flames from a car park on the roof of a nearby shopping centre.
"We could see a large plume of black smoke and straight away ran over to see what it was", she told BBC Radio Ulster.
"We could see, over into Broughshane Street, two buildings heavily ablaze, with the roofs of the adjoining properties on either side starting to disintegrate, and flames coming through those as well."
Houston Bell, who works in Ballymena, was driving home when he spotted the blaze and stopped his car to film the incident on his mobile phone.
He told BBC News NI that several shoppers walked past the shop just as the fire was taking hold, unaware of the flames above them.
Mr Bell said warnings were shouted at people on the street to get back from the shop front, and he described hearing the sound of breaking glass as he drove away from the scene.
An estate agents, whose premises was damaged in the blaze, has said that all its diaries and contact details for clients have been destroyed.
Writing on Facebook, Rainey & Gregg thanked "everyone for their kind words and offers of help".
Group Commander Brian Stanfield said there were five fire engines and two aerial appliances at the scene.


No new laws are needed to deal with social media - just a better understanding of the existing ones, a leading barrister has told peers.

John Cooper QC said stalking, threats to kill, sending obscene material and harassment were "age old" offences.
The fact that they were being committed on Twitter did not make any difference, he told the Lords communication committee.
It comes as ministers consider new laws to combat so-called "revenge porn".
Mr Cooper hit the headlines in 2010 when he represented a man put on trial for posting a joke bomb threat on Twitter.
His client, Paul Chambers, was found guilty in May 2010, but his conviction was quashed on appeal.
The QC told the committee he had been surprised at the poor understanding of the law among some Crown Prosecution Service lawyers, who had decided to press ahead with the case even though the police and others involved could see the offending tweet had been nothing more than a "crass joke".
He said social media was a "positive, inspiring arena" which was self-policing to a "high degree", but like society in general there were those who spoiled it for the rest.
But that did not mean new laws were needed to deal with it, he argued.
"The issue for me is not not so much the faulty nature of the existing law but the fact it's coming at us from all angles," he said, adding that it all needed to brought together in one "basket".
He also called for a campaign to educate the police and public on what constitutes "anti-social behaviour" on social media.
Police were being inundated with complaints from members of the public about comments posted on Twitter and other social media sites, which clearly were not in breach of the law, he told the peers.
On the subject of "revenge porn," where people upload sexually explicit content of ex-partners without their permission, he said it was already against the law to "send any form of obscene picture".
Gabrielle Guillemin, legal officer of international free speech campaign Article 19, also cautioned against "revenge porn" legislation.
She told peers: "We have seen a lot of legislation, for example in the United States, to address this particular issue, but you would question whether it is for the criminal law to get involved in what is very often, ultimately the fallout of failed relationships.
"And if civil remedies are not more appropriate to deal with these kinds of issues."
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has said the government is "very open" to changing the law to deal with "revenge porn".
He told MPs uploading sexually explicit material to the internet without the subject's consent is becoming a bigger issue in the UK.


TV viewers of new BBC drama Trust Me, in which a nurse fakes it as a doctor, have been left wondering whether it could happen in real life.

If you didn't catch it, Cath Hardacre, played by Jodie Whittaker, is sacked as a nurse so steals her best friend's identity to become a senior doctor.
The psychological thriller shows her attempt to fake it as an experienced emergency doctor, relying only on her nursing knowledge and medical textbooks.
The show's writer Dan Sefton - a real-life A&E doctor - says it's not that hard to do if you have some qualifications.
"I think there are loads of people who aren't real doctors," Sefton told the BBC.
There was once a bogus doctor working at his own hospital, he said, who was "actually pretty competent".
"Often these doctors are very professional and get along very well with their colleagues. The only flaw is that they aren't real doctors," he added.
Since 2006, 12 people have been charged under the Medical Act 1983 with pretending to be registered as a doctor, Crown Prosecution Service figures show.
It's not known how many of them went on to be prosecuted.
It is possible that other bogus doctors have been apprehended too, but were charged under the broader offence in the Fraud Act 2006 of impersonation and giving false or misleading information.
This makes it harder to extract figures for doctors.
Rachel Power, chief executive of the Patients Association, has some reassuring words for anxious TV viewers.
"It's incredibly rare for people to masquerade as doctors in the NHS.
"The numbers involved are negligible, so patients should not feel concerned that there's any substantial prospect of being seen by someone falsely claiming to be a doctor."
However, it has happened occasionally, as these examples show.
Stethoscopes and scrubs
Last year, mother-of-four Sarah Caine twice posed as a doctor and stole medical equipment from Lister Hospital in Stevenage, the Telegraph reported.
She even posted photos on Facebook, one of herself dressed in surgical scrubs and another with a stethoscope draped around her neck.
On Twitter in 2014, she pondered which direction her medical ambitions might take her.
NHS staff caught her out the second time round, and the police were called.
Magistrates banned her from every hospital in the UK - except in "genuine medical emergencies" - until sentencing.
She was given a Â£440 fine after she admitted impersonating a doctor and stealing medical equipment.
His CV was 'a work of fiction'
Abdul Pirzada, an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, invented a glittering medical career history that allowed him to work as a practice nurse in Birmingham for seven years, as a locum GP and a physician's assistant.
Within months of arriving in the UK in 2001, he joined the doctors' union BMA as a refugee member, claiming to be a qualified doctor.
This meant he could access online courses, which gave him a superficial air of legitimacy, the CPS said.
His CV, which prosecutors described as "almost entirely a work of fiction", claimed he had worked as a doctor in Bosnia and Glasgow, and was registered as a doctor in Pakistan.
Pirzada gained work at three medical practices in Birmingham between 2004 and 2011, where he performed blood tests on patients and even prescribed medication.
His deception came to light when a pharmacist spotted that his name on a prescription did not appear on the NHS-approved list, the CPS said.
In 2012, he was jailed for 15 months after admitting two counts of fraud and one of obtaining a financial advantage by deception.
Forged documents
Two years ago Levon Mkhitarian pleaded guilty to fraud after impersonating a doctor.
Mkhitarian, originally from Georgia, had failed to complete his medical training but continued to apply for doctors' jobs.
In 2014, he was struck off the GMC register after being caught sending an email pretending to be the GMC.
With no job to go to, Mkhitarian forged documents so he could apply for locum positions through agencies.
He assumed the identity of another doctor, who was practising at the time, and made up a CV, bank statements, a medical degree and training certificates.
Under his false identity, Mkhitarian treated 3,000 patients on cancer, transplant, general surgery, cardiology and elderly wards, and was on call in A&E.
That was until HR staff at the William Harvey Hospital, in Ashford, tried to create a personal smart card for him.
A database showed one had already been issued in his assumed name, but with a different photograph.
One investigating police officer told Canterbury Crown Court the risk of harm to patients was "not high but nevertheless his actions were selfish and reckless".
Mkhitarian was jailed for six years.
The General Medical Council says the onus is on employers to thoroughly check a doctor's identity and qualifications before recruiting them.
There are currently 270,000 doctors named on its UK medical register, which carries details of where the doctor studied, when they registered and whether they hold a licence.
The GMC carries out its own checks before allowing a doctor to register, including on their identity and qualifications, as well as checks with the doctor's medical school and previous employers.
Staff at the GMC also help employers by taking photos of doctors during a face-to-face identity check when they apply to register. These can then be sent on to hospitals to confirm the new recruit's identity.
NHS Employers says there are six checks which must be made before giving a doctor a job:

Newport County will travel to take on Stevenage in their opening League Two game of the 2017-18 season on 5 August.

The Exiles should then have hosted Crewe Alexandra the following Saturday, but because of work on the Rodney Parade pitch that contest will now be played at Crewe's Gresty Road.
The first home game is set for Saturday 26 August against Chesterfield.
Mike Flynn's side are at Wycombe Wanderers on Boxing Day and home against Exeter City on New Year's Day.
They will now host Crewe on Saturday 24 March.
Newport finish the regular league season at Carlisle United on Saturday, 5 May, hoping that they will not need a repeat of last season's dramatic last-day win to avoid relegation.

A Nobel laureate who failed his school exams before going on to pioneer body scanning technology has died aged 83.

Sir Peter Mansfield led a team in the 1970s that developed Magnetic Resonance Imaging, one of the most important breakthroughs in modern medicine.
The son of a gas fitter, he left school at the age of 15 before embarking on a career at the University of Nottingham.
Vice-chancellor Professor Sir David Greenaway said his work "changed our world for the better".
MRI scans generate 3D images of the body's internal organs without potentially harmful X-rays by utilising strong magnetic fields and radio waves.
Sir Peter shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2003 with the inventor of the technique, US chemist Professor Paul Lauterbur.
He is credited with further developing the technology, showing it can be mathematically analysed and interpreted, creating scans that take seconds rather than hours and generating much clearer images.
In his own biography on the Nobel Prize website, Sir Peter recalls growing up in Lambeth, south London, and being evacuated during World War Two.
He failed his 11-plus exam and attended a central school and a secondary modern school.
Sir Peter then worked as a printer's assistant until an interest in rocketry helped him secure a job at the government's rocket propulsion department in Westcott, Buckinghamshire.
He completed national service and at the age of 21, studied for A-levels part time and obtained a degree in physics at Queen Mary College, University of London.
He joined the University of Nottingham as a physics lecturer in 1964 and remained there until his retirement 30 years later.
In a statement issued through the university, Sir Peter's family said: "As well as being an eminent scientist and pioneer in his field, he was also a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather who will be hugely missed."
In 1978, Sir Peter ignored warnings he could be putting himself in danger and became the first person to step inside a whole-body MRI scanner so that it could be tested on a human subject.
And only last month, he joined former colleagues to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the opening of the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre at the University of Nottingham.
Sir David said: "Few people can look back on a career and conclude that they have changed the world. In pioneering MRI, that is exactly what Sir Peter Mansfield has done."
There was also a tribute from Sir Peter's friend, Prof Peter Morris, who was a young PhD student when he first worked with Sir Peter in the 1970s.
Prof Morris, who still works at the university's school of physics and astronomy, said: "MRI has lost the rock on which it was founded.
"Sir Peter's pioneering research has revolutionised diagnostic medicine and all of us have felt its benefits.
"He has been the defining influence on my life as supervisor, colleague and friend. We will not see his like again."
The university said Sir Peter's invention of the fast scanning technique, known as echo-planar imaging, underpins the most sophisticated MRI applications in clinical use.
It said Sir Peter's work "transformed neuroscience and physiology research by opening windows on the working brain and body" - helping doctors to detect cancer and  look for subtle abnormalities in brain activity in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.


A RAF jet had to abort take-off on Anglesey because of a flock of birds.

The pilot had reached speeds of around 100 knots when the birds appeared in front of the plane at RAF Valley.
He aborted take-off and went through the crash barrier on the runway. He was left shaken but unhurt.
Sqn Ldr Dave Williams said the jet remained on its wheels and came to a stop close to the beach. "It's what we train for and why we have those barriers," he added.


The Catholic Church in Scotland has revealed details of abuse allegations made in 2013, of which seven were made against members of the clergy.

In total, 15 allegations were made, of which six were historical (from the 1980s or before).
Ten of the allegations were of sexual abuse, of which three also involved physical abuse.
The Catholic Church said it was publishing the audit to show that it was being transparent and open.
The Diocesan Safeguarding Audit for 2013 showed that the remainder of the allegations involved physical abuse alone, emotional abuse and verbal abuse.
Ten of the allegations were reported to the police.
A Catholic Church spokesman said the five which were not reported to the police related to shouting at a group of children, poor boundaries and an abuse of power.
None of these were regarded as illegal actions but required a response from the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor and Bishop.
As of November 2014, there were no prosecutions associated with 2013 allegations.
Two of the cases have been reported to the procurator fiscal, two of the alleged perpetrators have died, three have been removed from ministry, one is no longer a volunteer and two outcomes are unknown to the Church.
The Church spokesman said: "The Catholic Church in Scotland seeks to safeguard the welfare of people of all ages who are involved in whatever capacity with the Church and its organisations.
"The publication of this audit is an example of the commitment to transparency and openness made previously by Scotland's Catholic Bishops."
"The external Review of Safeguarding Protocols and Procedures being conducted by Dr. Andrew McLellan will report in 2015 and the Statistical Review of all Historic Cases of Abuse from 1947-2005 will be published at that time also."
He added: "The Catholic Church would support an evidence-based inquiry into abuse in care in Scotland."


A National Front sympathiser was the best player, team members rowed in public and their own fans pelted them with flour - Great Britain's run to the 1978 Davis Cup final was anything but dull.

This week Andy Murray leads his nation's attempt to win the sport's premier team competition for the first time since 1936.
The only occasion they have come close in the intervening 79 years was at a time of turmoil in Britain, with widespread public sector strikes and the Labour government of James Callaghan close to collapse.
A team of disparate and occasionally volatile characters - the brilliant but divisive Buster Mottram, chalk-and-cheese brothers John and David Lloyd, and veteran doubles specialist Mark Cox - came together to win five ties before losing to a John McEnroe-inspired United States.
The Lloyd brothers and team captain Paul Hutchins reveal the extraordinary highs and lows of that memorable campaign 37 years ago, which began with their best player exiled from the squad.
Despite being British number one, Mottram had not played Davis Cup for 18 months after falling out with Hutchins at Wimbledon in 1976, following criticism from the coach.
"Buster never used to like grass courts and I felt he didn't try or there was something he did at Wimbledon and I was particularly upset about it," Hutchins recalled. "He then got upset with me and refused to play with me or under me."
In January 1978, it was suggested Mottram wanted Hutchins replaced by three-time Wimbledon semi-finalist Roger Taylor. John Lloyd, then 23 and Britain's number two singles player, threatened to go on strike if Mottram had his way, suggesting "Britain will find herself with a one-man team".
"He has gone too far this time, even by his own standards," the younger Lloyd told the Daily Express. "He is a tragic tennis case... one of those players who thinks he's bigger than his country; bigger than everything.
"It's ridiculous. It's like Kevin Keegan saying he won't play for England under Ron Greenwood."
David Lloyd, then 30, described Mottram as "a hopeless team man".
But despite the ill-feeling, within a month Hutchins and Mottram had settled their differences and Britain's best player agreed to return to the squad.
The son of tennis players Tony Mottram and Joy Gannon, Christopher 'Buster' Mottram attracted much controversy off the court. He was only 22 but not shy in expressing his political views, and was linked to the far-right National Front, then a growing force within British politics with race a tinderbox issue.
It alienated him from sections of the British public and Hutchins attempted, unsuccessfully, to persuade Mottram to distance himself from the party.
"What I felt then and what I still feel is it was just silly of Buster to have got involved but, equally, the political side used Buster for all that they could get from him. What he thought was a small thing suddenly became a big thing," Hutchins said.
John Lloyd said Mottram enjoyed provoking reactions. "One year Buster sent a telegram to support [Conservative Prime Minister] Margaret Thatcher over something to do with the unions. It was sent on behalf of the British Davis Cup team. It got out into the press and the LTA had to apologise for it.
"He would make comments with a smile on his face and I don't think he really meant them. He was just a bit quirky and a bit nuts."
His brother David added: "Buster was the Geoff Boycott of tennis, very individual and he wanted to win for himself. When Boycott batted he wanted to bat all day and the things around him didn't matter. That's difficult when you're in a team event but we had to support Buster because he was so good.
"Once he was in the team environment on the court, he changed. I think he came around more to us, which was great. He did perform well and we had some laughs. He was a nutcase but a great player."
Britain's first Davis Cup tie in 1978 was in Monaco in March. Mottram travelled with the squad but a back injury prevented him from playing, so current All England Club chief executive Richard Lewis filled the second singles berth alongside John Lloyd.
A 5-0 victory brought a perfect start, while David Lloyd enjoyed a big win in a Monte Carlo casino, which he considered a sign that Britain would go on to win the competition. His team-mates chuckled at his optimism.
A week before GB faced Austria in Bristol in June, the Lloyd brothers played Mottram and Australian Phil Dent in a doubles match at Beckenham that descended into rancour as David Lloyd and Mottram argued on court.
Mottram had been warned by the umpire for taking too long between points, and following another delay, David Lloyd urged him to get on with the game. But Mottram approached the net and told the elder Lloyd: "Stop complaining. You can't tell me what to do. You're not really good enough to be in this Davis Cup team."
A furious Lloyd said he would not play against Austria unless Mottram stayed in a different hotel. An unrepentant Mottram retorted: "I won't apologise because I haven't done anything wrong. David is sensitive because he knows I am speaking the truth. He started the verbals, not me."
Hutchins, who was "trying to keep the ship together", acted as peacemaker between his players and the rift was healed as Mottram prepared to play his first Davis Cup tie in two years. But not everyone was pleased to see him representing Britain again.
Demonstrators descended on the Bristol Tennis and Squash Centre carrying banners saying 'Heil Adolf Mottram', 'Facist pig' and 'Buster Mottram is a Nazi'. A man with a loudhailer urged spectators to barrack Mottram on the court.
John Lloyd said the players had to travel to the venue via different routes to try to avoid the protests, while David Lloyd recalled "we were bombarded by flour bombs".
Mottram did not flinch, winning his first singles rubber for the loss of just six games before teaming up with David Lloyd to win the doubles in five sets and secure victory for Britain. Just a week after their bitter row, the pair were hugging each other on court.
"It was typical Buster," noted David Lloyd. "He was a bit like me - when things were against him, he attacked rather than defended so he had a bit of a war against the flour-bombers."
Mottram was unusual among British players in preferring to play on clay rather than grass. His prowess on the slower surface helped Britain beat France at Roland Garros shortly after Wimbledon, beating future French Open champion Yannick Noah while the Paris crowd tried to unsettle him.
David Lloyd recalled: "There was a guy in the stands who had beer and cola cans tied to a string. Every time Buster served, he dragged the cans down the steps.
"Instead of getting cross, Buster went to the guy, pretended he was a conductor and encouraged him to do it more. On purpose, he got the full Roland Garros against him. That's what Buster was like - he wanted that. He played unbelievable tennis and he won."
John Lloyd then beat Eric Deblicker in five sets with elder brother David offering his own brand of encouragement. "Unfortunately John would get cramp, sometimes in his head. He got it in the fifth set and looked like he was going to tank it and lose," David said.
"We had to go the side of the court and shout and scream at him. As luck had it, Deblicker got real cramp, John's cramp miraculously went away and he went on and won."
After a doubles defeat for the Lloyds, Mottram beat Deblicker in straight sets to take Britain through to the European Zone A final against what was then Czechoslovakia, at Eastbourne in September.
The Czechs gave a debut to an 18-year-old Ivan Lendl, who would go on to win eight Grand Slam titles and coach Andy Murray to his greatest triumphs. Three of the rubbers went to deciding sets but Britain won the tie 5-0 to set up a home semi-final against Australia.
Australia, who have won the Davis Cup on 28 occasions, second only to the United States, were reigning champions and favourites when they faced Britain at Crystal Palace in October.
The hosts' preparations for a tie staged in an intimate 2,700-capacity venue - the LTA had not envisaged Britain would get that far and had failed to reserve a bigger arena - were not helped by a love-struck John Lloyd arriving three days late after beginning a romance with women's number one and his future wife, Chris Evert.
"I was in Boston with Chris and instead of meeting the team on the Saturday in England I didn't show up until Monday night or Tuesday," he recalls. "Everyone in the team, including my brother, was not happy, quite rightly.
"It was a question of being professional and being with three ugly guys, or being with Chris, and I picked Chris."
Lloyd practised poorly, which he said was normal, and then lost the first 10 points of his match against John Alexander before suddenly striking form and "playing one of the best matches I've ever played, considering the pressure situation".
Lloyd won 7-5 6-2 6-2, while an inspired Mottram beat Tony Roche 8-6 3-6 7-5 6-4 in "the best match I've ever played".
David Lloyd and Mark Cox were underdogs against the 1977 Wimbledon doubles champions Ross Case and Geoff Masters but a four-set win took Britain through to their first Davis Cup final in 41 years amid scenes of wild celebration. Mottram poured champagne over Cox and David Lloyd, who ran around the arena with the Union Jack.
The euphoria was dampened by the United States beating Sweden in the other semi-final. A Swedish victory would have meant the final was played in Britain, but a five-set doubles defeat for Bjorn Borg and Ove Bengtson was decisive as the US took it 3-2.
"We were hoping and praying that Sweden would beat America," said David Lloyd. "Playing America in America and those guys was a much, much harder match."
"Those guys" included a precocious 19-year-old John McEnroe, already nicknamed 'Superbrat' in the press for his on-court antics, making his Davis Cup singles debut.
The British squad hoped the New Yorker might be afflicted by nerves when the final was played at Mission Hills Country Club in the desert city of Palm Springs, California, in December.
But on a specially-prepared, ultra-fast court "which meant it was like playing on glass", McEnroe beat John Lloyd and Mottram in singles, losing only five games to each of them.
"It was almost a privilege to be on court against him," said the younger Lloyd. "Some of the tennis he played was on a different planet to what I was used to. It was an annihilation."
"McEnroe was a different league, even at 19 years of age," Hutchins said. "Here was this young punk of a guy who was not really fearful of playing the Davis Cup final at all. You could only admire how good he was."
Britain's sole point came on day one via the indefatigable Mottram, who, despite being hampered by a back injury, came from two sets and match point down to beat Brian Gottfried in five. He started his comeback as the sun disappeared behind the Coachella Valley mountains and the temperature plunged from nearly 30C to freezing, slowing the conditions. "It was bone-chilling," John Lloyd said.
Late into the night, only 300 shivering spectators were left but Mottram was greeted with a chorus of 'For He's A Jolly Good Fellow' by the British fans when he finally prevailed. But GB did not win another set in the three remaining rubbers as the United States sealed an emphatic 4-1 win.
Although the final ultimately ended in disappointment, Hutchins and the Lloyds look back on Britain's Davis Cup run of 1978 with immense fondness.
"You had a vast mix of characters: Mark Cox from Cambridge University; David Lloyd - the never-say-die guy; the playboy of the late '70s in John Lloyd being such fun and then you had Buster, who was the straight Englishman right out of a novel," Hutchins reflected. "We didn't necessarily love each other but we all got on."
David Lloyd became a hugely successful businessman, founding the chain of leisure clubs that bears his name, but says nothing compares to representing your country.
"It meant everything - to me anyway," he said. "At the beginning of the tie they say 'David Lloyd, Great Britain' and your name was never mentioned again. It was 'Game, Great Britain'. There is nothing in life that can give you that same feeling."
According to John Lloyd: "Sometimes it got a bit niggly and a bit volatile but, overall, the memories were damn good ones. It was a big highlight of my career, probably the number one."
As for Mottram, who declined to be interviewed for this article, he remains a largely reclusive figure, occasionally making headlines over his strident opinions and political views, such as when he tried to broker an electoral pact between UKIP and the British National Party in 2008.
His achievements as a tennis player - reaching 15 in the world rankings and amassing a 31-10 winning record in the Davis Cup - are often overlooked.
"Because Buster was extremely quirky, to put it mildly, and didn't want any kind of publicity, after he stopped playing he very quickly disappeared off the radar of British tennis," said John Lloyd, who will be part of the BBC's coverage of this week's final in Belgium. "That is sad."
Hutchins, formerly head of men's tennis in Britain and now tournament director of the ATP Nottingham Open, believes Mottram was almost as important to his squad as world number two Andy Murray is to the current team, led by Leon Smith, who will attempt to go one better on the Ghent clay.
"Andy is the talisman of our team now and I was very fortunate that I had Buster Mottram as the talisman of our team," he added.
"Buster was quite an enigma of tennis but he had these traits in him that you can see in Andy - doggedness, cussedness, never wanting to lose. All the opponents hated playing him. He used to hate losing a point. He was very intense and hard on himself.
"Once we got him back, he was the most amusing guy. Great Britain has a lot to be thankful to him for."

Former Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat is in talks to become manager of Fenerbahce after resigning as Netherlands assistant coach.

The 68-year-old Dutchman would succeed Vítor Pereira, who was sacked after one season in charge.
Advocaat took over at Sunderland in March 2015 and led them to Premier League safety, but quit in October after a poor start to the season.
He resigned as assistant to Netherlands boss Danny Blind after three months.
Blind said he was "shocked and disappointed" by the decision.
Advocaat has also coached the Netherlands, Russia and South Korea.
Fenerbahce host Swiss side Grasshoppers Zurich in the first leg of their Europa League play-off on Thursday.


Jeff Hendrick's stunning half-volley helped Burnley end a run of three Premier League defeats as they beat Bournemouth at Turf Moor.

Burnley's record signing opened the scoring on 13 minutes, finding the top corner from 25 yards for his second goal for the Clarets.
Three minutes later the home side doubled their lead, as Hendrick's Republic of Ireland team-mate Stephen Ward slid in to score on the rebound from close range.
Bournemouth halved the deficit on the stroke of half-time as Benik Afobe swept home Simon Francis' pass, before George Boyd extended the lead when he latched on to Andre Gray's backheel to slam into the bottom corner.
Charlie Daniels' thumping injury-time strike set up a tense final few minutes but Burnley held on.
It may only be December, but former Wales striker John Hartson thinks Hendrick has put himself in contention for goal of the season.
The 24-year-old, who moved to Turf Moor for £10.5m in August, plucked Matt Lowton's pass out of the air and flicked it up with his knee, before smashing his shot into the top-right corner.
"What a touch, the way he's brought that down. What a goal," said Hartson on Final Score.
"Hendrick's strike is a contender for goal of the season for me, not just for the finish but for the way he plucks it out of the air."
Speaking to the BBC after the match, Hendrick was modest about his strike: "Luckily, I got a good touch and it sat up nicely. I have been shooting in training all week, probably doing people's heads in, but if you don't shoot you won't score.
"It was nice to get one. I knew I had caught it well and had a chance, but you never know because the keeper can save it. Thankfully he didn't."
Match of the Day pundit Ian Wright said: "The touch was super. A brilliant goal. I just love that. Aside from the goal, he showed a lot of desire and tenacity, winning the ball back for his team. He could've won a penalty. He should've got something."
Turf Moor has become such a fortress this season that only Chelsea, with six wins, have won more home Premier League games than the Clarets' five this season.
Burnley have now scored 14 league goals at Turf Moor this season, the same as they managed in their last top-flight season, and 16 of their 17 points have come at home.
Hendrick's effort was the perfect start for Burnley, who have struggled for goals this season. Prior to the match they had failed to score in a league-high seven matches  and had scored the second fewest goals in the league.
And, despite having only 30% possession, the three goals and three points move Sean Dyche's team up to 13th in the table.
Bournemouth stunned Liverpool last week, coming back from 3-1 down to win 4-3, but there was to be no repeat at Turf Moor.
Eddie Howe started with Bournemouth player of the month for November Jack Wilshere on the bench, which he explained was to manage the on-loan Arsenal midfielder's workload.
They missed the 24-year-old's presence in the first half and appeared shell shocked after Burnley's two goals.
Afobe's goal incensed Dyche, coming as it did in the 47th minute, after the fourth official had indicated one minute of added time.
The former Arsenal striker should have equalised two minutes after the break but dragged his shot so wide it went out for a throw-in.
Wilshere came on with 30 minutes to go and, while Bournemouth enjoyed almost 70% possession and made 548 passes - more than double Burnley's 243 - they struggled to test the home side.
They had just one shot on target in the second half - Daniels' goal - but the comeback came too late.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "I am very pleased. We are still learning as a side and we can definitely play better but the mentality was brilliant from my players.
"We had a bright start and threatened their back line which I think we did brilliantly.

"Let's not talk too much about the time-keeping, we could debate that all day but sometimes I don't know where they get the timing from. We've had it happen before where the referee seems to just let the time play out as if to give them a chance and lo-and-behold the ball ends up in our net. We can only hope it pays us back but it hasn't so far.
"Having said that I am super pleased with my subs today - I don't usually say something like that but they came on and changed the game and I thought they were outstanding.
"It's hard to kill teams off in the Premier League. The challenge is evident but there is clarity to the thoughts of the players and we will take that into the next matches. All we can do is work hard with the aim to get a result."

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "The most disappointing thing is we had given ourselves a mountain to climb going two goals down so early on, even though I felt like we controlled the game.
"Those two goals we can rue but we can't keep putting ourselves in the position where we have to chase the game like that.
"They put too many balls in our box but we got a lot of balls into their penalty area too but from our point of view there were too many wasted deliveries and bad decisions."

Cars were trapped on the southbound M40 in Buckinghamshire overnight after a crane burst into flames, closing the motorway,

The 96-tonne crane exploded into a fireball just before 21:30 BST on Wednesday between J2 for Beaconsfield and J1a for the M25.
A number of cars were trapped for several hours. The road partially re-opened on Thursday morning.
Highways England said one lane would remain closed for safety reasons.
Updates on this and other stories from Buckinghamshire
It said the "intense fire" happened after a "significant spillage of hydraulic fluid", causing "serious damage to the road surface", which is due to be resurfaced on Thursday night.
A specialist lifting team removed the crane from lane one and the hard shoulder earlier.
Drivers near Beaconsfield are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys.


A High Court ruling that Parliament - not the government alone - can trigger Article 50 threatens to delay Theresa May's timetable for leaving the EU, but could it spell the end for Brexit altogether?

Downing Street says it is confident that the Supreme Court will overrule the High Court and allow ministers, rather than MPs, to decide when to begin the formal process of leaving the EU.
But there is no evidence that government lawyers have yet amassed new arguments that might persuade the highest court in the land that the three eminent judges reached the wrong conclusion on Thursday.
So if that ruling stands, then the relevant secretary of state, David Davis - in charge of the process of exiting the EU -  has said his presumption is that an Act of Parliament would be required before triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. No 10 has said that's the 'logical conclusion' of the ruling, too.
Incidentally a former Conservative leader - Iain Duncan Smith - disagrees, and believes a straightforward vote of MPs would satisfy the courts.
But let's assume government ministers are right.
Could the mere act of consulting largely pro-Remain MPs scupper Brexit?
Well, no.
Although the former chancellor Ken Clarke and the former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg have told the BBC that they are prepared to vote against invoking Article 50, enough Remainers are saying they would respect the result of the referendum and vote to start the process of leaving the EU. The government would not lose this vote.
More likely is delay - rather than destruction - of Brexit.
But the opportunities for delay depend in part on the form any legislation would take.
Some pro-Brexit politicians are urging the government to come up with a simple one-line bill triggering Article 50.
The shorter and simpler the legislation, the more difficult it would be for Remainers to put forward elaborate amendments attempting to tie the government's hands in subsequent negotiations with the EU.
The former attorney general Dominic Grieve reckons that amendments could still be permitted, so long as they were addressed to the narrow substance of the bill.
This could allow, for example, an amendment to hold a second referendum on the final deal negotiated by the government, given that those negotiations were triggered by the Article 50 process - the option favoured by the former Labour leadership contender Owen Smith.
Even assuming that all amendments were defeated or ruled out of order, any legislation at all carries a risk for the government.
That's because it needs to be approved not just by the Commons but by the Lords.
And many pro-Remain unelected peers might be less squeamish than MPs about voting against Article 50.
If - and it's a big if - that were to happen, then the government would have to use the Parliament Acts to overrule them. Peers cannot stop legislation outright - they can simply force a rethink.
That would delay the process by about a year - scuppering not Brexit itself, but Theresa May's promise to start the process by the end of March 2017.
It might also extend our membership of the EU until just after the next general election, in the spring of 2020.
Some pro-Brexit Conservatives are already urging the prime minister to call an early election under these circumstances, on a platform of standing up for "the people" against "the peers".
With the party's lead in the polls, they calculate that this would strengthen the government's mandate.
But, given the complications and potential consequences of yesterday's ruling, you can understand why minsters are keeping their fingers firmly crossed that the Supreme Court will overturn it.


Net migration is causing the UK to grow at the rate of a city the size of Cardiff every year, according to the leader of UKIP in the Welsh assembly.

Neil Hamilton said the country "cannot cope with the scale and the speed of current immigration".
Net migration to the UK rose to 333,000 in 2015, according to Office for National Statistics estimates
Plaid MP Liz Saville-Roberts said the main concern was not of EU migrants, but of migrants from further afield.
Last year's net migration estimate - the difference between the number of people coming to the UK for at least a year and those leaving - was the second highest figure on record.
The figure for EU-only net migration was 184,000, equalling its record high.
Mr Hamilton, speaking on Thursday night's BBC Question Time in the Welsh capital, said: "We're adding a city the size of Cardiff to the national population in the UK every single year and this is set to continue for the foreseeable future; a million extra people every three years.
"How are we going to cope? How are our public services going to cope with the speed of change?"
But Ms Saville-Roberts, also on the panel, said that the main concern was those who came from beyond the EU.
"Evidently, when we look at the economy, and unemployment, on security, aren't we, surely, better off working with our neighbours in Europe?" she said.
"The main concern for migration isn't the EU migrants which we're discussing here, it's the migrants who are coming from beyond Europe; sub-Saharan Africa; from the middle east, from conflict zones, how are we dealing with that?"


The Carmarthenshire home where Dylan Thomas penned some of his most famous works has gone up for sale.

Sea View in Laugharne was where the poet and his wife spent some of their "happiest days" raising their family and entertaining some of the biggest personalities of the time.
The five-bedroom Georgian Grade II listed property has a guide price of Â£600,000.
It was renovated from a dilapidated state about seven years ago.
Thomas moved into Seaview in 1938 when his wife Caitlin was pregnant with their first child.
They spent two years there, while Thomas busied himself with writing, drinking and entertaining the likes of writer TS Eliot, playwright Arthur Miller and painter Augustus John.
They left at the end of 1940 and did not return to the village until 1949, after one of Thomas' major benefactors, Margaret Taylor, bought the famous Boathouse for them.
It was here where he partially wrote Under Milkwood.
The estate agent said Seaview is a "unique property both in quality and historic provenance".
"It's not difficult to see why, when you take in the magic and charm of the building - it's a very extraordinary house, with a lovely feel to it," said  Sian Evans, from BJP.
