The ancient Egyptian port of Alexandria has seen many historic events, and it might be about to witness the final throes of one of Wales' most illustrious sporting careers.

On Friday John Toshack takes his current side, Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca, to Egypt to face Zamalek in the first leg of their African Champions League semi-final.
Toshack was a legendary player for Cardiff City, Liverpool and Wales and, as a manager, won a Spanish league title with Real Madrid and led Swansea City from the bottom division to the summit of English football.
Now his Moroccan adventure is proving a successful sojourn in what the 67-year-old admits is the autumn of his sporting life.
After managing teams in the footballing outposts of Macedonia and Azerbaijan, Toshack is enjoying a new lease of life in Casablanca.
"I've been very fortunate in my career, but this one is something extra really," he tells BBC Wales Sport.
"If someone said you would be managing going on 68 I would never have thought so.
"It came out of the blue, it's another country and another continent and things are going really well."
After taking charge in June 2014, he led Wydad to the Moroccan title in his first campaign and followed that up with the runners-up spot last season to secure African Champions League football.
Toshack admits the foray into African football has come as a surprise even for a man of his formidable experience.
It has not just been footballing matters either. The Cardiff-born former striker has been left amazed by the vast distances he and his team have had to cover across the continent as they have progressed through the tournament.
And Toshack admits if his side were to lift the trophy next month, it would rank right up there with everything he has achieved in his career.
But although Friday's game is just the first leg of the semi-final - with the pair meeting again back in Morocco on September 24 - the former Wales boss has also hinted that lack of progress could see him bring the curtain down on his African adventure and perhaps his life in football all together.
"It's been very different and interesting," says Toshack.
"We've travelled to Egypt, the Ivory Coast, to Madagascar, to Zambia, in a competition which to win we have to play 16 matches. When we went to Zambia we were away for eight days.
"The (Morocco) Federation is good, we don't have to play for a week after a game, but it does cause problems.
"We are in September and not played a league game yet - we are already three games behind everyone else.
"To be honest, if we can win this, for various reasons it would have to go down as one of the most successful periods of my career. There have just been so many things we have had to adapt to.
"If things go wrong here, like they could easily do, I'm not sure I would have the patience again to turn things around.
"To be honest, we'll see how we do in these semi-finals and then that would be a good time to sit down and take stock."
Apart from his six years as manager of Wales, Toshack's two years with Wydad is his longest spell in a job since 2000.
Reflecting on his career which has seen Toshack hold 17 managerial roles with 13 different teams, it is the spell with Wales which has been subject to reappraisal.
In light of Wales' success at Euro 2016 and their progress under Chris Coleman and the late Gary Speed, Toshack himself is now being credited with helping to start the revival.
It was he who blooded many of the players who now make up the core of Coleman's side.
He handed debuts to Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Joe Ledley and made Gareth Bale the youngest Wales international after selecting him aged 16 for a friendly against Trinidad & Tobago back in 2006.
"It's six years ago since I finished and to see so many of those players playing as mature professionals, it gives me a lot of satisfaction to be honest," Toshack adds.
"Looking at the Moldova game, what strikes me is the ease with which Wales win games now.
"I recall the difficulty we had just to get a result against these kinds of teams all those years ago. You can just see now how the players have matured.  Now you are winning a game 4-0 against Moldova, whereas before, whoever we played, that would have been difficult. "
Toshack insists Bale will go on to beat Ian Rush's goal-scoring record of 28 for his country and believes that, at one of his former clubs, Real Madrid, Bale has matured into more than just another player.
Bale's two strikes in the win over Moldova took his tally to 24 in 62 internationals.
"You would imagine he would break the record during this World Cup campaign, but if it does not happen now, it will sooner or later," said Toshack.
"Gareth's probably at the best age now to push on.
"I know they are delighted with him at Madrid, the way he plays, the ways he acts off the pitch and the things he says.
"On top of everything else he's turning out to be a terrific ambassador for his country too.
"It's not just Gareth, but a lot of the players with Wales. How many of them are up to 60 or 65 caps already? And they are only 26 or 27 years of age.
"There will be a lot of them breaking the record for Wales' caps."


Nottingham Forest are looking to make up to five more signings before the new season gets under way and are eager to replace Britt Assombalonga.

Boss Mark Warburton had signed forward Jason Cummings and also has England Under-19 international Ben Brereton, but he wants more depth in attack after Assombalonga's move to Middlesbrough.
"We are looking for another striker," Warburton told BBC Nottingham Sport.
"We hope to get at least two or three players by the start of the season."
As well as Cummings from Hibernian, Forest have also signed Rangers winger Barrie McKay and are being heavily linked with Newcastle striker Daryl Murphy.
Warburton, whose side beat local rivals Notts County 2-0 in a pre-season friendly at Meadow Lane on Wednesday, added: "We are looking to bring in between three to five players.
"If the right quality becomes available we will move. The backing we have received from the owners so far has been tremendous."
The sale of Assombalonga for £15m made sense on all fronts, according to Warburton.
"Britt is a very talented player," Warburton said. "He is a goalscorer and they are hard to come by, but a buyout clause was triggered and he wanted to leave.
"It was good business for the club and represents good value, so we wish Britt well and our job now is to build the squad with strong foundations and that is what we will do."


A pedestrian has been struck by a heavy goods vehicle in Elgin.

The man is reported to have sustained life-threatening injuries in the collision.
Police officers sealed of the A96 West Road at the scene of the incident, which was close to a petrol station.
The collision took place at about 12:30.


An indigenous community in northern Canada has declared a state of emergency after 11 people attempted to take their own lives in one day.

The Attawapiskat First Nation in Ontario saw 28 suicide attempts in March and more than 100 since last September, Canadian media said, with one person reported to have died.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the news "heartbreaking".
Canada's 1.4 million indigenous people have high levels of poverty.
Their life expectancy is also below the Canadian average.
Bruce Shisheesh, the chief of the Attawapiskat First Nation community, said 11 people attempted to take their own lives on Saturday, prompting him to declare a state of emergency.
He tweeted that the regional Weeneebayko Health Authority was flying in a crisis team, mental health nurses and social workers, and that he was waiting for Ontario's minister of health to deliver more emergency workers to the area.
The First Nations government was sending a crisis response unit to the community following the declaration on Saturday, Canadian media said.
The Health Canada federal agency said in a statement it had sent two mental health counsellors as part of that unit.
Charlie Angus, the local MP, said: "This is a systemic crisis affecting the communities."
"There's just not been a serious response from any level of government until now," he said.
"We'll continue to work to improve living conditions for all Indigenous peoples," Prime Minister Trudeau said.
Another Canadian aboriginal community in the western province of Manitoba appealed for federal aid last month, citing six suicides in two months and 140 suicide attempts in two weeks.
Suicide and self-inflicted injuries are among the top causes of death for First Nations, MÃ©tis and Inuit people, according to studies from Health Canada.
National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Perry Bellegarde called for a national strategy to combat indigenous suicide last month.
"Immediate support to communities is essential & a  #FirstNations driven national strategy on mental health," he tweeted on Monday.
BBC reporter Joanna Jolly went on the trail of the murdered and missing to find out why so many of Winnipeg's Aboriginal women and girls have been killed. Read full article


At the start of the decade, many of Britain's cinemas made the switch from analogue projection to digital, changing forever the role of those inside the projection box, with many films now projected by a computer.

Photographer Richard Nicholson took a look inside that box, capturing those who have helped bring the silver screen to life.
"When I first stepped into a projection box, I was struck by the claustrophobic atmosphere," says Nicholson.
"It was a dark, cramped space, and, as the projector whirred into motion, it became increasingly hot and noisy.
"As I watched the projectionist wrestle with a giant spool of film, the scene reminded me of a railwayman shovelling coal into a locomotive."
Working with The Projection Project, Nicholson's pictures are accompanied by the thoughts of the projectionists, many of whom are experts on the history of cinema.
Nicholson usually works on a large-format film camera - but, paradoxically, for this project, he shot the images on a digital camera.
Following a test shoot, he realised he would require a vast amount of lighting to work on film, whereas a digital approach allowed him to use smaller flashguns to light the projection boxes.
With cinemas across the country still under threat from redevelopment and closure, it is perhaps the perfect time for this project.
"I think it's a wasted opportunity if you go to a cinema and it's just a blank screen, and no curtains, with some feeble lighting, and it just sort of starts," said projectionist Peter Howden.
"I remember going to the cinema and the lights would change colour and the organist would come up out of the floor. It's simple and it's effective and it would be a pity to lose that.
"I think it's part of the magic of going to the cinema. Putting on a show rather than just showing a film."
The projectionist is the final step between the film and the public. And, for many, that flickering light that pierces the darkness of the cinema is still magical.
"When I used to go to the cinema with my mother, I was never looking at the film, I was always looking to see where it came from," said projectionist Rachel Dukes.
"In those days everybody used to smoke. And so when the beam of light was coming down, you'd have these pretty patterns of the smoke in the light.
"I'd be looking at these patterns and my mother would tell me off because she's paid for the tickets to watch the film and I'm not watching it.
"I'm looking to see where it's coming from."
Thankfully, the smoky cinema is no more, but it will be a sad day if the remaining sites capable of projecting film shut the gates once and for all.
The Projectionists is part of the Flatpack Film Festival and can be seen at The Gas Hall, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, 20-24 April 2016.


A mystery siren-like noise which is keeping Swansea residents awake at night has triggered an investigation by the council.

Swansea council said it was contacted by South Wales Evening Post after readers reported the problem in Townhill and Mayhill to the paper.
A council spokesman said a potential source of the sound had been located.
Members of the public were asked to contact the local authority's noise pollution team with information.


Fragments of an ancient continent are buried beneath the floor of the Indian Ocean, a study suggests.

Researchers have found evidence for a landmass that would have existed between 2,000 and 85 million years ago.
The strip of land, which scientists have called Mauritia, eventually fragmented and vanished beneath the waves as the modern world started to take shape.
The study is published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Supercontinent
Until about 750 million years ago, the Earth's landmass was gathered into a vast single continent called Rodinia.
And although they are now separated by thousands of kilometres of ocean, India was once located next to Madagascar.
Now researchers believe they have found evidence of a sliver of continent - known as a microcontinent - that was once tucked between the two.
The team came to this conclusion after studying grains of sand from the beaches of Mauritius.
While the grains dated back to a volcanic eruption that happened about nine million years ago, they contained minerals that were much older.
Professor Trond Torsvik, from the University of Oslo, Norway, said: "We found zircons that we extracted from the beach sands, and these are something you typically find in a continental crust. They are very old in age."
The zircon dated to between 1,970 and 600 million years ago, and the team concluded that they were remnants of ancient land that had been dragged up to the surface of the island during a volcanic eruption.
Prof Torsvik said that he believed pieces of Mauritia could be found about 10km down beneath Mauritius and under a swathe of the Indian Ocean.
It would have spanned millions years of history, from the Precambrian Era when land was barren and devoid of life to the age when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
But about 85m years ago, as India started to drift away from Madagascar towards its current location, the microcontinent would have broken up, eventually disappearing beneath the waves.
However, a small part could have survived.
"At the moment the Seychelles is a piece of granite, or continental crust, which is sitting practically in the middle of the Indian Ocean," explained Prof Torsvik.
"But once upon a time, it was sitting north of Madagascar. And what we are saying is that maybe this was much bigger, and there are many of these continental fragments that are spread around in the ocean."
Further research is needed to fully investigate what remains of this lost region.
Prof Torsvik explained: "We need seismic data which can image the structure... this would be the ultimate proof. Or you can drill deep, but that would cost a lot of money."


Two-time Olympic champion Nicola Adams says she does not mind objections to women boxing - as long as they are allowed to achieve their dreams.

The flyweight, 34, said she was determined to change people's perception of her sport.
Adams told BBC Sport she had already changed promoter Frank Warren's mind.
"He said seeing me compete in the Games, he wanted to sign me as a professional," she said. "Hopefully I can change more people's minds."
Adams was interviewed on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Wednesday.
Beforehand, presenter Piers Morgan tweeted he did not like watching women punch each other.
Speaking to the BBC later, Adams said: "I don't mind if you don't watch it. I don't mind if you don't like it, just as long as you don't stop the women and girls who want to compete in boxing from achieving their goals and their dreams and becoming Olympic champions like me.
"I've grown up alongside this my whole life during my career in boxing but it's sometimes nice to be able to change someone's perception about women's boxing."
Adams is aiming to secure a world title fight in 2018 after making her professional debut in Manchester on 8 April.


A hairless squirrel taken to a rescue centre amid fears it would not survive the cold winter has died from skin cancer.

"Baldy", as she became known, was captured "for her own safety" in a park in Dunstable in November.
The squirrel's total lack of fur and fluffy tail were thought to be genetic.
Staff from wildlife hospital Tiggywinkles, where Baldy was being treated, confirmed she died from natural causes.
A spokeswoman for the Aylesbury hospital said Baldy died before the results of a biopsy came back, but it was "likely" the cancer was the cause of her death.
Read more on this story and others from Beds, Herts & Bucks
Bedfordshire Wildlife Rescue, which saved the squirrel in November, wrote on its Facebook page on Wednesday: "I have sad news about the bald squirrel from Grove Park, Dunstable, I'm afraid.
"Tiggywinkles took the squirrel in for us and have been amazingly kind and helpful. They carried out tests to see if her baldness could be cured, but very sadly the tests showed skin cancer."
Dozens of people have paid tribute to Baldy on social media.
One wrote: "Poor little thing. Lovely to know there are good people out there and she died in comfort. RIP little squirrel."
Another said: "So glad she was rescued before all of the last week's freezing weather hit. Bless her. Climb free little squirrel."


Ousted South Korean leader Park Geun-hye has now left the presidential palace, two days after judges upheld parliament's decision to impeach her.

Ms Park arrived at her home in southern Seoul amid waving supporters.
She has been impeached over her role in a corruption scandal involving close friend, Choi Soon-sil.
In her first words since Friday's ruling, Ms Park said in a statement: "Although it will take time, I believe the truth will certainly come out."
She also apologised to her supporters for "failing to fulfil my duty as president".
Ms Park has now lost her immunity and could face criminal proceedings over accusations she allowed Ms Choi to extort money from companies in return for political favours.
Ms Park left the presidential complex, the so-called Blue House, shortly after 19:00 local time (10:00 GMT) on Sunday after saying goodbye to her staff.
A huge motorcade carried her to her home in the Samseong district.
BBC Korea correspondent Stephen Evans sees an upbeat returnee
Park Geun-hye was ferried to her private residence in Seoul in a black limousine, chased by a posse of journalists on motorbikes. When she arrived, she waved to cheering supporters, smiling broadly, and shook hands with political allies.
She may yet face prosecution and a trial in an ordinary criminal court. Her demise has split the country, with her increasingly vocal supporters saying she is a victim of a political decision.
Her demeanour outside her new residence was upbeat and full of smiles. It was not the demeanour of a disgraced, regretful politician.
Ms Park emerged from her limousine amid a police presence of about 1,000 officers and her security detail had to push back the crowds.
Hwang Kyo-ahn, who is loyal to Ms Park, is now the acting president.
The country's election commission says a "free and fair" vote will be held by 9 May at the latest.
The early front-runner, human rights lawyer Moon Jae-in, of the Democratic Party, warned Ms Park she "must not destroy or take the national records outside" the Blue House.
Thousands of people took to the streets of central Seoul on Saturday to celebrate Ms Park's removal, while a large crowd of her supporters occupied a nearby square.
Protests on Friday left two of Ms Park's supporters dead, with a third suffered a heart attack and died a day later.
At the heart of the drama lies the close friendship between the president and Ms Choi.
Ms Choi is accused of using her presidential connections to pressure companies to give millions of dollars in donations to non-profit foundations she controlled.
Ms Park is alleged to have been personally involved in this, and to have given Ms Choi unacceptable levels of access to official documents.
Parliament voted to impeach Ms Park in December.
On Friday, the Constitutional Court ruled Ms Park's actions "seriously impaired the spirit of... democracy and the rule of law".
Judges said she had broken the law by allowing Ms Choi to meddle in state affairs, and had breached guidelines on official secrets by leaking numerous documents.
Ms Park had "concealed completely Choi's meddling in state affairs and denied it whenever suspicions over the act emerged and even criticised those who raised the suspicions," the ruling said.


Dundee set up a Scottish Cup quarter-final visit to Rangers with a comfortable replay win over Dumbarton.

Full-back Paul McGinn crashed in the opening goal after running on to a neat Gary Harkins pass.
Harkins then crossed for Kane Hemmings to double the hosts' advantage from close range on 29 minutes.
Greg Stewart slammed in a shot after the interval and fired home a late free-kick after Kevin Holt had tucked away a rebound.
Dundee dominated from the outset with the Championship visitors struggling to cope with the movement of Stewart, Hemmings and Rory Loy up front, while Harkins was given far too much room to dictate play from the middle of the park.
Paul Hartley's side had been held to a goalless draw in the rain-soaked original tie but this was a one-sided contest.
The breakthrough came on 16 minutes and from an unlikely source.
Harkins played in a reverse pass for McGinn who beat goalkeeper Mark Brown at his near post with a fierce strike for his first goal of the season.
The Sons squandered their best chance within a minute of the restart as Scott Taggart's cutback fell perfectly for Jordan Kirkpatrick but the midfielder rushed his shot and the ball fell tamely into the arms of Scott Bain.
Another blank leaves Dumbarton with just one goal in their last six outings, while Hemmings grabbed his 13th in 11 games after more good work from Harkins.
The midfielder clipped the ball into the near post where the in-form striker slid the ball beyond Brown for his 19th of the season.
Stewart had been seeing plenty of the ball and he fired in number three five minutes into the second half.
The striker ghosted into the box from the right before sliding the ball into the left hand corner of the goal as the Dumbarton defence looked on.
Loy worked tirelessly throughout and looked to have won a penalty when he tumbled to the ground after a challenge by Darren Barr.
But referee Stephen Finnie stunned the home crowd by booking the former Rangers and Falkirk striker, the third yellow card of the evening for alleged simulation.
The fourth goal arrived with 10 minutes remaining as Brown saved from substitute Craig Wighton only to be beaten by left-back Holt who was following up.
The rout was complete in stoppage time when man-of-the-match Stewart fired home a free kick from 25 yards, with the defensive wall falling apart.
It rounded off a fine evening for Stewart and Hartley's men, who will travel full of confidence to Ibrox for their first visit since 2004.
Dundee's Paul Hartley: "It was professional, it was clinical. It was a good night for us.
"I thought our movement was terrific, we had some great combination play.
"It looks like a penalty when Loy is caught in the box but we're not complaining too much.
"It's great to be in the quarter-finals but we have some important games before that."
Dumbarton's Stephen Aitken: "We're bitterly disappointed in the manner in which we lost the game.
"Dundee were ruthless but they are cheap goals from our point of view. The reality is Dundee were better than us on the night.
"We stick together, we have done all season, and we'll bounce back."


Linfield have won their first piece of silverware under David Healy after a 3-1 win over 10-man Crusaders in the County Antrim Shield final.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Goals from Cameron Stewart and Mark Stafford put the Blues into an early 2-0 lead and Crues midfielder Paul Heatley was red-carded on 33 minutes.
Jordan Owens' header pulled a goal back for Crusaders before the break.
But any hopes Crusaders had of equalising were ended by a Stephen Lowry penalty 11 minutes from the end.
Having lost two finals last season, the Blues were eager to take the initiative at the Ballymena Showgrounds and they punished some nervy defending by their opponents.
An early free-kick from Stephen Lowry led Crusaders into conceding two quick corners and the second of those from Niall Quinn was ballooned towards the front of the six yard box where Stewart rose highest to score with a powerful header.
Quinn was creating havoc down the left wing and he forced another corner in the 11th minute that led to the Blues' second goal.
Kirk Millar's right-footed delivery caused more confusion in the penalty area and Stafford won the battle at the back post to force the ball over the line from two yards out.
Crusaders' prospects were made all the more difficult in the 30th minute when Heatley was shown a straight red card.
The midfielder was involved in a tussle with Mark Stafford and appeared to lash out at the defender with a swinging arm.
There was minimal contact but referee Mervyn Smith was well-placed and had no hesitation in showing Heatley a red.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Owens pulled a goal back for the league champions in the 33rd minute of a non-stop first-half.
David Cushley's high in-swinging cross from the left allowed Owens to time his run and header to perfection as it looped over goalkeeper Gareth Deane.
During a bad-tempered second half, the Blues made sure of the win in the 79th minute when Lowry converted from the penalty spot.
Crues goalkeeper Sean O'Neill struggled to cope with a surging run from Andrew Waterworth and Howard Beverland fouled the striker as he attempted to clear.
Lowry made no mistake as he despatched his spot-kick low to the left corner.

Linfield captain Jamie Mulgrew: "We started off very well but when they went down to 10 men we sat off them a little bit and let them into it.
"To be fair, they put up a hell of a fight but obviously the penalty killed the game off."
"During my time here I haven't been as starved for success and hopefully this is a stepping stone to us becoming a force again."
Linfield manager David Healy: "It means a lot to the players. We lost two finals last season, but we were the better team by far tonight.
"People will say decisions maybe changed the outcome, but certainly not - we were deserved winners.
"We work hard on set plays and if you get the delivery right and get the right players on the end of it you will score goals."
Crusaders skipper Colin Coates: "We talked before the game that set-pieces are a big part of their game.
"We were sleeping and normally we are defensively quite sound there.
"We started slow and actually I thought once we went down to 10 men we played a bit better but we ran out of gas a bit at the end.
"To be honest I didn't see anything in the red card. I don't want to say too much but I think in the whole game Mervyn Smith got nearly every big decision wrong."


There has been heavy fighting in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk as government forces upped operations against Russian-backed militants.

A government spokesman said Ukrainian forces had retaken most of the area around the bitterly contested airport.
A Kremlin spokesman said Russia was "concerned" by the escalation.
In Ukraine's capital, Kiev, thousands attended a rally for 13 civilians who died in the east when their bus came under rocket attack last Tuesday.
Addressing the rally, President Petro Poroshenko paid tribute to those defending Donetsk airport from rebels, saying they had "demonstrated their courage, patriotism, heroism, as a model for how our country must be defended".
"We will not give away one scrap of Ukrainian land," he told the crowd.
Donetsk airport no longer functions but has taken on symbolic value for both sides.
Around Donetsk, Ukrainian government officials said there had been massive shelling of separatist positions as the army launched a counter-attack.
"The decision was taken for a mass operation," military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said on TV.
"We succeeded in almost completely cleaning the territory of the airport, which belongs to the territory of Ukrainian forces as marked by military separation lines."
Locals said there had been intense fighting, including in residential areas, and several civilians were reported to have been killed.
Rebel leader Alexander Zakharchenko accused Kiev of "trying to unleash war again".
A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, said Moscow was concerned by the "escalation of hostilities", adding that it undermined a ceasefire agreed in Minsk in September that has been repeatedly violated by both sides.
"This state of affairs in no way contributes to the implementation of the Minsk agreements and future search for a resolution," Mr Peskov said.
Ukraine says some 8,500 Russian regular troops are helping the rebels.
More than 4,700 people have been killed since the rebels took control of a big swathe of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in eastern Ukraine last April. Many more civilians have been displaced by the fighting.
Russia denies sending regular troops and heavy weapons there, but admits that Russian "volunteers" are helping the rebels.


On 9 August 1945, the US dropped the second atomic bomb ever deployed in conflict, hitting the Japanese industrial city of Nagasaki.

Six days later, Japan announced its surrender.
At least 74,000 people died in the Nagasaki blast or from subsequent injuries. Some 140,000 people had died three days before in Hiroshima, in the world's first nuclear attack.
The bomb which would hit Nagasaki on 9 August 1945 was nicknamed Fat Man by the Americans. It was carried by the plane Bockscar, which was flown from the Mariana Islands and piloted by Maj Gen Charles Sweeney.
After Hiroshima, US President Harry S Truman said that if Japan they did not accept the terms of surrender, "they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this Earth".
Nagasaki was initially not even on the list of possible targets for the A-bomb, it was only added two weeks before the attack.
On the day the US was actually intending to bomb the city of Kokura, but bad weather obscured visibility, so Bockscar headed to Nagasaki instead.
The plutonium-core bomb exploded above Nagasaki on 11.02 local time.
The US has justified using the atomic bomb as a necessity to end World War Two and save thousands of civilian and military lives worldwide from continued conflict. But critics say that Japan was already ready to surrender and that the US had dropped the bombs to display its military might.
The attack on Nagasaki destroyed about 30% of the city, flattening almost everything in the industrial district.
Those who survived suffered horrific injuries, or radiation sickness.
One of the biggest Roman Catholic churches in Asia at the time, the Urakami Cathedral was also hit. It was rebuilt in 1959.
In the days following the explosion, some of the survivors were pictured living in shelters made out of debris.
Ten years later, the city had been rapidly rebuilt, including a peace memorial park in the middle of the city.
A monument was erected at the park, known as the Peace Statue in 1955. Its right hand pointing to the sky is said to "point to the threat of nuclear weapons", while its left hand extending out symbolises peace, according to Japan's national tourism agency's website.
A memorial ceremony is held in front of it every year.


The liquidators of Rangers Football Club plc have launched a multi-million pound legal action against the company's former administrators.

The claim has been lodged by BDO against Paul Clark and David Whitehouse of accountancy firm Duff & Phelps at Edinburgh's Court of Session.
BDO are seeking up to £28.9m following Clark and Whitehouse's handling of the administration process.
Duff & Phelps said they were surprised and disappointed.
Rangers entered administration in February 2012.
Four months later, the company's business and assets were sold to a consortium led by Charles Green for £5.5m.
BDO were then appointed as liquidators, and have since conducted a review of the events leading up to administration through to the sale of the assets.
In November 2014, BDO agreed a settlement for £24m in a claim against Collyer Bristow, the legal firm that acted for Craig Whyte in his purchase of Rangers Football Club plc from Sir David Murray in May 2011.
Those funds were added to the creditors' pot, as will any monies raised from the legal action against Clark and Whitehouse.
In a statement, BDO said: "The joint liquidators, following extensive deliberations with their professional advisors and the liquidation committee, have taken the decision to issue a claim against the former Rangers' administrators Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, of Duff & Phelps.
"During the course of the liquidation, questions have arisen regarding the strategy previously adopted by the former administrators, which have not, to date, been adequately answered.
"In seeking clarity, the joint liquidators have been left with no other option but to pursue the matter via the Scottish Court. The joint liquidators look forward to the resolution of this matter."
BDO added: "The joint liquidators consider that the former joint administrators failed to take actions which would have reduced costs during the administration period and realised additional value from the company's assets over and above that obtained from the sale of the business and assets to Sevco."
David Whitehouse, Duff & Phelps managing director, has described the move as disappointing.
He said: "We were surprised to receive notice of proceedings today, one week before expiration of the limitation period, and we are disappointed that this has been leaked to the media.
"In essence, BDO is now alleging that as the former administrators we should have achieved a better return for creditors by selling the clubs assets on a piecemeal basis, including Ibrox and its playing squad.
"This is a strategy with which we fundamentally disagree both in terms of its deliverability and its relevance to achieving the statutory purpose of administration.
"We will be consulting with our legal advisers in order that our position is set out fully before the court. Any further comment at this stage would be inappropriate given that there are now live proceedings."
Criminal charges against Clark and Whitehouse relating to their involvement with Rangers Football Club plc were dropped in June 2016.


League Two side Wycombe Wanderers have signed utility man Michael Harriman from QPR for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old has scored six goals in 25 games since initially joining Wycombe on loan in July and has now signed a three-and-a-half-year deal.
Harriman, who is equally capable in defence or midfield, made just three first-team appearances for the R's.
"He's got everything you want from a professional," boss Gareth Ainsworth told the club website.
"He gives his all, he's got bags of ability and he's a great character to have around the club.
"To be able to keep him here is a fantastic piece of business and I'm grateful for the support of the board who have enabled me to make Michael a permanent signing."

Sun columnist Kelvin MacKenzie is to be questioned over comments he made about Everton footballer Ross Barkley, according to Liverpool's mayor.

In an article, the paper's former editor compared the Everton midfielder, who has a grandfather born in Nigeria, to a "gorilla".
Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson said it was a "racial slur... and something we won't tolerate".
Mr MacKenzie has been approached for a comment but is currently on holiday.
Previously, he said in a statement it was "beyond parody" to describe his column as "racist".
A spokesman for Merseyside Police said their investigation was on-going and they would be speaking to relevant witnesses.
In his column in The Sun, published on 14 April, Mr MacKenzie said looking at Barkley's eyes gave him a "similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo".
He also said that men with similar "pay packets" in Liverpool are "drug dealers" and in prison.
Alongside the article, The Sun published an image of a gorilla next to a picture of the midfielder who was attacked in a Liverpool bar.
The Sun, which suspended its former editor, apologised "for the offence caused" adding it was "unaware of Barkley's heritage".
"The views expressed by Kelvin MacKenzie about the people of Liverpool were wrong, unfunny and are not the view of the paper.
"Mr MacKenzie is currently on holiday and the matter will be fully investigated on his return."
Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson said he made a complaint to police and reported the article to the Independent Press Standards Organisation.
In comments to Liverpool City Council's cabinet earlier, Mr Anderson said "Merseyside police are investigating and will be interviewing the person concerned.
"This has been a continuous attack from this individual and a racial slur on one of the sons of this city and something we won't tolerate."


Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is suing the New York Times for accusing her of incitement in a mass shooting.

In the defamation case, Mrs Palin says the newspaper published a statement about her that it "knew to be false".
A 14 June editorial appeared to tie Mrs Palin to a 2011 shooting spree that left congresswoman Gabby Giffords seriously wounded and six others dead.
Mrs Palin is reportedly seeking more than $75,000 (Â£58,000) in damages.
The former Alaska governor's lawyers argue "the Times' conduct was committed knowingly, intentionally, wilfully, wantonly and maliciously, with the intent to harm Mrs Palin".
The lawsuit says the newspaper displayed "blatant disregard of the substantial likelihood of causing her harm, thereby entitling Mrs Palin to an award of punitive damages".
The legal action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues the publication "violated the law and its own policies".
The editorial, headlined "America's Lethal Politics", was published on the day a gunman opened fire on Republican congressmen as they played baseball in Alexandria, Virginia, critically injuring a Louisiana legislator.
The article said an advert from Mrs Palin's political action committee had placed "Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs".
A day later, the New York Times issued a correction, noting that "no such link was established" between the Palin ad and the shooting of Gabby Giffords in Arizona.
The newspaper also conceded that the ad in question "depicted electoral districts, not individual Democratic lawmakers, beneath stylized cross hairs".
But the New York Times maintained the error did not "undercut or weaken the argument of the piece".
Mrs Palin said the newspaper's response "did not approach the degree of the retraction and apology necessary and warranted by The Times's false assertion that Mrs Palin incited murder".
In a statement, Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokeswoman for the New York Times, said: "We have not reviewed the claim yet but will defend against any claim vigorously."
Mrs Palin's legal team includes Kenneth Turkel and Shane Vogt, who represented Hulk Hogan as he won $115m in a lawsuit against Gawker Media Group.
In the aftermath of the 2011 shooting, Mrs Palin described suggestions that she was somehow to blame for the Giffords shooting as a "blood libel".


Data about loan accounts belonging to 400,000 customers of Italy's largest bank has been put at risk by two security breaches.

Unicredit said that personal data and account numbers could have been stolen.
But it added that the accounts' passwords had not been compromised, so the hackers could not have carried out unauthorised transactions.
It represents the biggest cyber-incident of its kind reported by an Italian bank to date.
Unicredit has blamed an unnamed "third-party provider" for the incidents.
It said the first was thought to have occurred between September and October 2016, and the second happened some time over this month and June.
"UniCredit has launched an audit and has informed all the relevant authorities," it said in a statement.
It has also tweeted a telephone number for international customers to find out whether they might have been affected.
UniCredit shares fell about 1% following its disclosure of the hack.
Other Italian banks, including Intesa Sanpaolo, Banco BPM and UBI, have said they have seen no evidence of coming under attack themselves.
Next year, the EU plans to introduce rules that will mean banks could be fined up to 4% of their annual turnover if they suffer a data breach and do not report it within hours of the discovery.
The General Data Protection Regulation comes into force in May.


A campaign group called Change Britain, led by Leave supporters, has claimed that: "Buried deep in the Office for Budget Responsibility Economic and Fiscal Outlook yesterday was the £32bn 'Brexit dividend' that the UK will receive when it leaves the EU."

The claim: The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts include an extra £10bn each year from 2019-20 for public spending as a result of leaving the EU - this could be spent on the NHS.
Reality Check verdict: If the UK manages to stop completely its contributions to the EU budget in 2019-20 then there may be some extra money to spend on other things - but in that same year the OBR is predicting that the government will have to borrow an extra £14.7bn as a result of the Brexit vote.
What they are talking about is the amount of money saved if the UK stops making contributions to the EU budget.
The £32bn is what you get if you add up the figures for the net contribution to the EU budget in 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22, contained in Chart 2.26 of the OBR report accompanying the Autumn Statement.
Change Britain would perhaps have been better off using a slightly less "buried" figure, which is to be found in table 4.27.
That table gives the amount of domestic spending that the OBR assumes could be done if the government abruptly stopped making any contributions to the EU budget. Over three years, those figures add up to £40bn.
There are several things to say about this figure before describing it as a Brexit dividend.
The first is that the reason it is of relatively little interest to the OBR is that the independent forecasting group assumes that if that money stops being sent to Brussels it will be spent elsewhere by the government, which means that it makes almost no difference when forecasting future borrowing.
But clearly, for the population as a whole, the idea of having an extra £13bn spent on the NHS in 2019-20 is of much greater interest. Is that possible?
Not all of that money can be spent on the NHS because the government has promised that groups such as universities and scientific researchers who currently receive money from the EU will continue to do so, at least until we leave the EU, with continuing funding at least until projects already under way are finished.
Also, some of the money that the UK contributes to the EU budget that is spent on, for example, supporting poorer regions of Europe, counts as part of the government's spending on international development.
The government is committed to spending 0.7% of national income each year on international development - if we didn't do so via the EU budget we'd have to spend it elsewhere.
But what makes this figure the most difficult is that it assumes that the UK will leave the EU at the end of March 2019, at which point all contributions to the EU budget will immediately stop.
We've looked at the chances of this happening before and it turns out that there are two areas in which there may have to be further spending.
The first is that there are things that the UK is committed to funding that will not be completed when the UK leaves. These include things like scientific projects and infrastructure projects - there is likely to have to be a sort of divorce settlement agreed to fund them. There are also likely to have to be continuing payments to fund a share of the pensions for EU civil servants.
The other area where there may be payments is if the UK wants to continue to participate in any parts of the EU. Some countries contribute to the EU budget in order to gain preferential access to the single market. We (and the OBR) don't know if the government is prepared to do that.
And there are other programmes such as EU funding for research or the European Investment Bank that the UK might want to continue its involvement with, which would also involve making financial contributions.
Finally, thinking of £13bn in 2019-20 as a "Brexit dividend" is a bit difficult when the OBR is predicting that in that year the government will have to borrow an extra £14.7bn just as a result of the vote to leave the EU.
If the government were committed to using any money saved from the EU budget to reduce borrowing then you could say it would cut the amount of extra borrowing needed as a result of Brexit - but actually Change Britain is calling for it to be spent on "our priorities - the most important of which is the NHS".

A 35-year-old man took legal highs before threatening to kidnap, rape and kill a nurse in a series of texts and voice messages, a court has heard.

Robert Garrick sent more than 60 messages to the woman during a 24-hour period.
He was given her work mobile number after the health worker was assigned to deal with him when he attended a medical day centre.
Garrick, from Perth, admitted leaving the texts and voice messages.
Perth Sheriff Court was told that Garrick had become besotted with the woman and sent the "grossly offensive and menacing" messages between 11 and 12 November this year.
Fiscal depute Stuart Richardson told the court: "She was assigned to try and assist him with his difficulties. She had the works phone and took it home.
"In some of the messages he declares his undying love for this lady, the nurse, but unfortunately he also called her a cow. The most worrying was where he threatened to kidnap her, have sex forcibly with her and kill other people who worked at the day centre."
Solicitor Linda Clark, defending, said: "He had taken certain legal highs and that seems to have knocked him Awol. Legal highs seem to be the nub of the problem.
"Much of the content of the messages was neither threatening nor abusive, but he declares his undying love and says how much she means to him and that he misses her.
"The calls were described as rambling rants and were him saying he felt unsupported and had no-one to look after him. People at the day centre were aware of his ups and downs."
Garrick, who works for a building firm, had sentence deferred by Sheriff Lindsay Foulis for the preparation of reports. He was remanded in custody.


The owner of British Airways, IAG, said its new trans-Atlantic budget airline will expand its fleet to five planes and aims to open new European bases.

Barcelona-based Level will initially use two new Airbus A330 aircraft to serve the Americas, with fares starting from Â£99 one-way.
Its first flight from Barcelona to Los Angeles takes off on Thursday.
It will be followed by flights to San Francisco, Buenos Aires and the Dominican Republic in the coming weeks.
Tickets have been on sale since March and IAG said it sold 100,000 in the first month.
BA has been at the centre of controversy following a disastrous computer crash that stranded 75,000 passengers over the weekend.
Critics have said that BA has been relentlessly cutting costs to take on competition from budget airlines. BA denies that this caused the IT problems which it blames on an electrical power surge.
But IAG Group, which also owns Aer Lingus and Vueling, is now pinning its hopes on the new airline to help it compete in an increasingly aggressive trans-Atlantic market.
Level's pricing structure is divided into six types of fare. The most basic includes hand luggage only.
The most expensive is flexible premium economy which offers a hot meal, two checked bags, and seat selection. Wifi is available with prices starting at 8.99 euros.
It will start out with flight and cabin crew from its sister airline Iberia and will create up to 250 jobs based in Barcelona.
IAG chief executive Willie Walsh, said: "This is just the start. In summer 2018 we will have more aircraft and will operate more destinations from Barcelona. We're also planning to expand Level operations to other European cities."
The competition has ratcheted up since the arrival of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in late 2011. The plane, made from composite materials was lighter, more fuel efficient and cheaper to fly than any of its predecessors. Aerospace analysts considered it a game changer for the airline industry.
The Oslo-based budget airline Norwegian jumped at the opportunities the new aircraft offered.  It now has 13 Dreamliners in service with 30 more on order to fly passengers from cities including London and Paris across the Atlantic.
This year Norwegian started offering one-way fares starting at $65 between smaller airports in the UK and Ireland to similar destinations in New York state, Providence, Rhode Island, and Hartford, Connecticut.
Level has taken a different tack, opting for the latest version of the Airbus A330, which is intended to take on the Dreamliner, and is fitted with 293 economy and 21 premium economy seats.
But the trans-Atlantic budget air space is about to get very crowded.
From July Iceland's budget airline WOW will be offering flights from London Gatwick, Bristol and Edinburgh to Chicago from Â£139, and Lufthansa's Eurowings subsidiary will be increasing its low cost offerings to Orlando, Florida and Seattle.


A new bridge on a major road over a railway is closing for four days so its predecessor can be demolished.

The A338 Wantage Road Bridge in Grove will be closed from 22:00 GMT on Friday until 06:00 GMT on Monday.
It opened in July because a higher bridge was required to allow new electric trains to run underneath.
Network Rail said the four-day closure needed to remove the old bridge was the "shortest time possible".
The bridge forms part of a main route between Wantage and Oxford.
Graeme Tandy, Network Rail's project director for the Thames Valley area, said: "The improvements we are carrying out are essential in order to bring our railway into the 21st century and improve passengers' experiences.
"I'd like to thank residents and motorists in advance for their patience and understanding while we carry out this work, which will pave the way for electrification and the benefits this will bring."


An exhibition of 60 "incredibly moving" British paintings of World War One are to go on show.

Curators said the some of the works at York Art Gallery, from the Imperial War Museums, have been brought together for the first time since 1919.
Laura Turner, for the museum, said it was the only venue outside London for the "incredibly moving collection".
The exhibition, Truth and Memory, opens on Friday and includes paintings by Paul Nash and Stanley Spencer.
Ms Turner said: "The pictures have helped shape the nation's perception of the conflict and war itself."
Wold War One began in 1914 and fighting raged across the world until the armistice on 11 November 1918.
Paul Nash's pictures of Western Front landscapes show a despairing view of war.
His We Are Making a New World, 1918, shows the devastation of the landscape and the unseen cost to humanity.
The exhibition also has art created on the home front, showing factory work and the dangerous conditions many women endured in supporting the nation's war effort.


Michael Appleton has agreed a new rolling contract as head coach of League Two club Oxford United.

Former Portsmouth, Blackpool and Blackburn manager Appleton, 40, joined the U's in the summer of 2014.
He has guided them to the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final at Wembley and into contention for automatic promotion to League One this season.
"It was an easy decision to sign," Appleton said. "All I've ever wanted is to help take the club forward."
Confirmation of a new deal ends four months of discussions between Appleton and the club.
"I'm pleased to get everything sorted and be able to focus solely on the remaining five games of the season, starting against Luton on Saturday," he added.
Oxford are currently second in League Two, four points above the play-off places.
Chairman Darryl Eales said the deal will allow the club to continue "building for the long-term future".
He continued: "I'm delighted Michael has agreed to be part of what we are trying to build here.
"He is very honest, very hard-working and has the greatest respect of everyone not just at the club but also within football."


Police in Brazil say one of the child actors from the acclaimed film City of God is a suspect in Sunday's killing of an officer in one of Rio de Janeiro's shantytowns, or favelas.

Ivan da Silva Martins played a small part as a gang member in the film.
He is now 34 and is thought to control drug trafficking in the Vidigal favela.
The film was released in Brazil in 2002, exposing to the rest of the world the bitter reality of crime, violence and poverty in Rio's favelas.
Mr Martins was one of many boys and teenagers recruited from the city's poorest quarters to work as actors in the film.
He is now believed to be feared by the Vidigal community where police says he is known as Ivan the Terrible.
City of God director Fernando Meirelles said he had gradually lost contact with all the young actors, but told O Globo newspaper that he was "saddened by the news".
The film begins in the early 1960s and follows the life of a young boy who becomes a drug lord in Cidade de Deus (City of God), a favela in the outskirts of Rio.
It became a surprise blockbuster and received four Oscar nominations.
Fifteen years later, violence is again on the rise in Brazil, particularly in Rio de Janeiro.
The policeman shot dead on Sunday, Sgt Hudson Araujo, was the 91st officer killed this year in the state of Rio.
Brazil is now going through the worst recession in its history.
The finances of many states, including Rio, have collapsed and there is no prospect of a solution for Brazil's serious political crisis.
The families of police officers say their loved ones are paying a heavy price for trying to fight crime without the resources and equipment required.


Thieves who stole a dump truck from a Midlothian sewage works caused about £80,000 of damage during the raid, police have said.

The theft happened at the Station Road site in Gorebridge sometime between 12:30 on Saturday and 07:30 on Monday.
The damage was caused by the thieves as they drove the truck away. The vehicle was later found abandoned nearby.
A JCB digger, forklift digger and another dump truck were also broken into during the incident.
Sgt Stuart Aitchison, of Police Scotland, said: "As a result of this break-in, the attempted theft of several plant vehicles and the successful theft of one dumper truck, approximately £80,000 worth of damage has been caused and we are pursuing various lines of inquiry to trace whoever was responsible.
"If you remember seeing any suspicious activity around the site over the weekend or in the early hours of Monday morning then please contact police immediately.
"In addition, anyone with any further information that can help with our investigation is also asked to come forward."


Olympic champions Chris Mears and Jack Laugher added another silver medal to their collection at the Fina/NVC Diving World Series in Guangzhou.

The Britons, who won silver in Beijing last week, scored 86.58 for their hardest dive - the front two-and-a-half somersault triple twist piked.
They finished with 92.34 for the front four-and-a-half somersault tucked and a final 3m syncho score of 450.60 points.
China's Cao Yuan and Xie Siyi won gold with a score of 466.02.
Russia's Ilya Zakharov and Evgenii Kuznetsov claimed bronze with 430.86 points.


West Ham boss Slaven Bilic expects his side to finish in the top half of the Premier League, despite sitting one place above the relegation zone.

The Hammers are winless in their past five league games and are just a point away from the bottom three.
Speaking to BBC Sport's Gary Lineker before Saturday's 5-1 loss to Arsenal, Bilic, 48, said he was "confident" that his side will finish "minimum top 10".
"We are not happy with the position we are in at the moment," he added.
The interview features on The Premier League Show at 22:00 GMT on Thursday on BBC Two.
West Ham, who relocated to the former Olympic Stadium over the summer, finished seventh last term but have won just two home games in the league this season.
Bilic, who received the backing of club owner David Sullivan at the weekend, accepts that there is pressure to improve results.
"We are in a position we are not happy with and where we have to bite our nails," said the Croat.
"We are not directly talking about relegation but straight after your game you have to look at the results here and the results there. It's not ideal.
"I feel the support of the fans, the team and the board. My next few games are my test."


A 16-year-old was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after two telecoms engineers were hit by a car.

The engineers, in their 20s, were believed to have been working on a communications box in Wolverhampton just before midday.
One was airlifted to hospital with "critical" head injuries. The second suffered facial and arm injuries.
Police said two people in a Citroen Picasso fled the scene after the incident.
Anyone who saw the crash at the junction of Jack Holden Avenue and Robert Wynd in Woodcross was urged to contact West Midlands Police on 101.


Australia's government is being urged to remove children from its detention centre on Nauru island in the Pacific.

The senate committee report published on Monday found conditions on Nauru were not "appropriate or safe" for detainees.
It said allegations of rape and abuse should be investigated and access given to journalists and rights workers.
All people who try to get to Australia by boat as refugees are detained in off-shore centres like Nauru.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the report had been "a witch hunt".
The committee report was based on six months of investigations and public hearings.
It said the government should "extend its current policy commitment to remove children from immigration detention to the maximum extent possible", and "develop a plan for the removal of children" from Nauru "with their families where they have them, to appropriate arrangements in the community".
Mr Dutton said the report was a "political witch hunt", saying that rival Labor and Greens senators dominate the committee.
But he said he was "happy to consider any of the recommendations which provide for a better outcome for people".
"I think anyone would make that statement as a statement of the obvious," the Australian Broadcasting Corp quoted him as saying.
"We need to recognise... that regional processing is there because we are not going to allow these people to come to Australia."
Australia asylum: Why is it controversial?
The Greens party has called for an independent investigation of claims one of its senators was spied on during a visit to Nauru.
Sarah Hanson-Young was allegedly monitored and followed by private security guards from Wilson Security when she visited the centre on the Pacific island in 2013.
A former Nauru guard has described the operation as "extensive spying".
The claims follow comments by Wilson in June to a senate committee that the spying was unauthorised and minimal.


Wales is struggling to recruit junior doctors because they do not want their children educated in its schools, a Conservative AM has suggested.

Labour AMs jeered ex-orthopaedic surgeon Altaf Hussain as he raised the issue at First Minister's Questions.
He said: "Many newly-qualified doctors in England refuse to come to Wales because they don't want their children educated here - that is a fact."
First Minster Carwyn Jones called the claim "absolutely extraordinary".
Mr Hussain argued the "state of our education" was "one of the major barriers to recruitment of doctors".
Mr Jones replied: "I utterly reject the idea, and that the message from the Conservative Party to medics should be don't come to Wales because of the education system.
"Where is their Welshness, where is their loyalty to Wales?"
"We have no difficulty in recruiting doctors in Wales," he added.

Derby defender Cyrus Christie will be out for "at least three months" with a foot injury, the player has confirmed.

Christie, 24, was hurt in the first half of County's 3-2 win over Wolves, but played two minutes of the second period before being substituted.
The Republic of Ireland international has made 18 appearances this season for the Championship club.
Derby are 16th in the table, but have lost just one of their past seven league games.


The US remains "on track" for an interest rate rise this year, Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen has said.

The central bank head said as long as inflation was stable and the US economy was strong enough to boost jobs, the conditions would be right for a rise.
Despite expectations of a rise this month, the Fed held rates, in part due to fears about global economic growth.
Ms Yellen, speaking at the University of Massachusetts, said US economic prospects "generally appear solid".
Speaking a week after the Fed delayed that long-anticipated hike, she said she and other policymakers did not expect recent global economic and financial market developments to significantly affect the central bank's policy.
Much recent inflationary weakness is due to special and likely temporary factors, such as a strong dollar and low oil prices, she said.
"Most [policymakers] including myself, currently anticipate... an initial increase in the federal funds rate later this year, followed by a gradual pace of tightening thereafter," Ms Yellen said.
US rates have been held at practically zero since December 2008 as the economy recovers from the financial meltdown.
This month, nine members of the Fed's key policymaking committee voted to hold the federal funds rate target at 0 to 0.25%.
One committee member, Jeffrey Lacker, favoured a 0.25 percentage point rise.
The Fed's long-term policy is to keep interest rates low until employment levels improve further and the main US inflation rate approaches its 2% target.
In her speech on Thursday, Mrs Yellen cautioned that inflation may rise more slowly or rapidly than anticipated. "Should such a development occur, we would need to adjust the stance of policy in response," she said.
The World Bank recently warned developing countries to brace themselves for possible financial turbulence when the Fed eventually hikes rates.
The bank said it is possible that there would be sufficient disruption to capital flows into developing countries to harm economic growth and financial stability.
Meanwhile, towards the end of her speech, Mrs Yellen, 69, paused twice for several seconds, appearing to have lost her place in the text.
Reuters reported that the chairman of the university's economics department, Michael Ash, appeared at her side, asking: "You ok?" and offering to escort her off the stage.
The Fed said in a statement later that she "felt dehydrated at the end of the [hour] long speech under bright lights".
The statement said she was seen by emergency medical personnel and "felt fine afterward and has continued her schedule Thursday evening".


A radio presenter undergoing gender reassignment was told by her employer it was in her best interests to come off air as she went through the transition, according to a letter seen by the BBC.

Simon Hirst, now Stephanie, hosted a breakfast show on Capital FM Yorkshire and Vinyl Heaven on Gold.
But after 11 years she came off air in June without any prior notice.
Global Radio, which owns the commercial stations, said the DJ had decided to leave "to focus on the process".
The letter has been seen by BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The document, which is addressed to Simon Hirst and signed by the executive director of Global Radio Richard Park, states both stations "did not think gender reassignment was suitable or commercially viable content" for shows.
It goes on to say: "We have a responsibility for your well-being, and having considered the matter we are not satisfied that going through this process 'on air' is in your best interests."
The company writes it will continue to provide the DJ with support throughout the process "in any way we can".
Ms Hirst, 39, announced on Saturday on BBC Radio 5 live that she was half way through gender reassignment treatment, and that she is now living her life as a woman, and is changing her name to Stephanie. Her nickname continues to be Hirsty.
In her latest interview with the BBC she said: "I genuinely feel alive. I wake up in the morning now and I want to get up because there's stuff to do and I didn't want to get up as a man."
She said she knew early on that she wanted to be a female.
"My first recollections are when I was about eight years old, I wore a girl's roller skates who lived round the corner and it just felt right.  Something immediately clicked and I don't know what it was," she said.
Numerous sources have told the BBC that Ms Hirst was suspended by bosses at Global Radio when she disclosed that she wanted to be a woman.
It is claimed she was not given the opportunity to have a final show to say goodbye to her fans.
But in a statement in response to these allegations, the media company said: "Hirsty made the decision to take time out to focus on the process he was going through.
"We were sad to see Hirsty leave but we were happy to offer him our full support.
"We wish Stephanie all the best in the future. It's standard practice in radio for presenters to come off air once they've made a decision to leave."
Ms Hirst claims the two parties have come to a suitable agreement. It is believed that she has signed a non-disclosure agreement.
When asked about claims that she was treated wrongly by her former employer, she said: "Everyone was supportive. There is nothing more I can add that can be of use to you."
Global Radio has several stations within its portfolio including Heart, Capital, Classic FM, Smooth, LBC, and Gold.
It broadcasts to more than 20 million people each week, and is part of the This is Global Ltd British media company.
Ms Hirst gained much popularity after presenting the national commercial Top 40 chart show between 2003 and 2006.
Recently she was hosting Hirsty's Daily Dose breakfast show on Capital FM Yorkshire.


One person is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a "seriously overcrowded" car crashed with nine people inside.

The Volkswagen Golf was carrying a group of young people when it crashed at 00:20 BST, police said.
Five were airlifted from the scene, near the Lizard, Cornwall, while four were taken to hospital by ambulance.
Police have appealed for witnesses to the crash, near Goonhilly Earth Station.


An investigation is under way after a police chase through the heart of Washington DC ended with an unarmed woman shot dead and two officers hurt.

The woman identified as Miriam Carey of Stamford, Connecticut, had a one-year-old girl in the car. She was unharmed.
Authorities have searched a home in Stamford believed to be Ms Carey's.
On Thursday, police said she attempted to bypass a security gate at the White House, and officers opened fire as she sped off towards Capitol Hill.
Ms Carey, a 34-year-old dental hygienist, was said to have suffered mental illness in recent months.
Law enforcement officials suggested the incident may have stemmed from a delusional obsession with US President Barack Obama and a belief he was stalking her, local media reported.
Chief Jonathan Fontneau of the Stamford police said that officers had been called to her home there "at least once" but that she had no criminal background.
Her mother, Idella Carey, told reporters on Friday her daughter suffered post-partum depression after the birth of her daughter last August.
"A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed... She was hospitalised," she said.
Stamford police said they were notified immediately following the incident on Thursday afternoon and searched the suspect's home for any related evidence.
"We did not deem there to be any danger," Mr Fontneau said after the search was completed.
Although the reason for Thursday's incident remains unclear, police said it was neither an act of terrorism nor an accident.
At 14:12 local time (18:12 GMT) on Thursday, a black Infiniti sedan rammed security fencing at the outer perimeter of the White House, police said.
Tourists, congressional staff and senators watched as a convoy of police vehicles chased the car down Constitution Avenue outside the Capitol, where the two houses of Congress meet.
Footage showed the car at one point surrounded by police but the driver managed to escape, speeding around a roundabout.
Images showed police pointing guns at the car before the driver rammed a Secret Service vehicle and carried on driving.
Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier told reporters that officers later shot and killed the woman on a nearby street.
Capitol Police briefly locked down the building where members of the House of Representatives and Senate were debating how to end the current government shutdown.
Police said the two injured officers were in good condition and expected to recover.


A government study has said a "brain belt" expressway between Oxford and Cambridge could boost the UK economy.

The Department for Transport has published the results of an investigation into linking existing roads between the two cities, via Bedford and Milton Keynes.
It said upgrading and addressing gaps in the network could improve journey times by up to 30 minutes.
But sustainable transport campaigners said the plan was "disappointing".
The study said the "knowledge economy" relied on workers with highly specific skills working in close proximity to each other, which is harder to achieve with poor transport links.
It also anticipated that congestion along the existing network could be "expected to intensify" by about 40% by 2035 leading to increased journey times.
But Bridget Fox, from the Campaign for Better Transport, said the plan did not cater to cyclists or bus users.
"Oxford and Cambridge have pioneered transport policies based on providing alternatives to car dependency," she said
"To build new road connections drawing more traffic into the area risks undermining their achievements."
The Oxford to Cambridge Expressway Strategic Study was launched last year and is one of six studies aimed at addressing challenges facing the UK's road network.
Transport Minister John Hayes said the planned Â£15bn road upgrades were aimed at "creating jobs and opportunities".

Kyle Lafferty fired home the opener in the 27th minute and Gareth McAuley headed in from a Chris Brunt free-kick to make it 2-0 before half-time.
Conor McLaughlin headed his first international goal before Brunt claimed his second goal for his country.
NI are second on goal difference, five points behind group leaders Germany.
West Brom's Brunt was back in the NI team for the first time in 13 months, having missed Euro 2016 because of a serious knee injury.
"To score four goals and not concede any is a good result, especially against Azerbaijan," said Brunt. "They were flying high in the group."
Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill described the win as "huge" and praised the fans for their backing.
"The mood is very good, the players love playing here, the crowd were fantastic again and we can look forward to March now," he said.
O'Neill's side play Croatia in a friendly in Belfast on Tuesday before taking on Norway in their next qualifier on 26 March.
Azerbaijan were on the back foot for much of the game, but they threatened early in the second half when substitute Deniz Yilmaz was denied by the advancing Michael McGovern in the NI goal.
Germany maintained their 100% record with an 8-0 hammering of San Marino while the Czech Republic beat Norway 2-1 to go fourth.
O'Neill seems to have got a few tips from watching Liverpool and Tottenham, as the high press was implemented with success.
Indeed, Azerbaijan were never able to settle on the ball, with Northern Ireland forcing their opponents into mistake after mistake.
The visitors boasted a record of no goals conceded in three qualifiers, but their defence crumbled under relentless pressure.
NI's passing, particularly in the first half, was crisp and accurate while the all-important finishing made this a performance to remember.

O'Neill usually prefers a lone target man in attack but, in the absence of Jamie Ward, he went with Kyle Lafferty and Josh Magennis as a front two.
It worked a treat, with Magennis working hard in the right channel while Lafferty occupied a central position.
Lafferty swivelled to drive home his 20th goal for Northern Ireland, showing that he belongs on the international stage despite struggling with Norwich.
O'Neill may revert to his favoured formation when Ward recovers from injury but at least he knows he has a tried and tested alternative.
After recovering from a clash of heads, Brunt showed what Northern Ireland have been missing for the past eight months.
A trademark free-kick was headed home by McAuley and he arrowed a shot low and hard into the bottom corner to complete an excellent display.
O'Neill's men play Croatia in a Belfast friendly on Tuesday and their next qualifier is at home to Norway on 26 March.

The Church in Wales has elected its first woman bishop.

Canon Joanna Penberthy said she is "immensely humbled" to become the 129th Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire.
An electoral college of 47 people from across Wales spent two days locked in St Davids Cathedral before coming to their decision.
Canon Penberthy, 56, who was appointed the cathedral's first woman canon in 2007, will take over the role from the retiring Wyn Evans.
The decision to allow women bishops was made following a landmark vote in September 2013.
The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, called it "an historic moment" for the church.
"What is really important to stress is that Joanna wasn't elected because she was a woman but because she was deemed to be the best person to be a bishop," he said.
"She has considerable gifts - she is an excellent preacher and communicator, can relate to all sections of the community, is a warm, charismatic, caring priest and someone who is full of joy."
Women bishops are also allowed in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England, where plans were formally approved in November 2014.
The first woman in England  the Right Reverend Libby Lane, was made Bishop of Stockport in January 2015.
St Davids' new bishop was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge and St John's College, Nottingham, she undertook ordination training at Cranmer Hall, Durham, in 1983.
Canon Penberthy was then a Deaconess in the city, before working in the role in Cardiff between 1985 and 1989.
She also served as a non-stipendiary minister in Cardiff, St Asaph and St Davids, between 1987 and 1995.
In February 2007, while vicar of Cynwyl Gaeo, Llansawel and Talley, she became the first woman appointed canon at St Davids Cathedral, a role she remained in until 2010.
She is currently the rector of the parish of Glan Ithon, near Llandrindod Wells, Powys.


Tyson Frizell has re-affirmed his commitment to Wales despite being called up by Tonga.

On Friday the St George Illawarra second row was named in an initial 58-strong Tonga squad for their forthcoming Asia-Pacific World Cup qualifier against the Cook Islands.
Frizell played three Tests for Wales in the 2013 World Cup.
Wales team manager Bob Wilson said: "We met with Tyson earlier this year... and he gave a clear commitment to Wales."
Wilson added: "On seeing the announcement by Tonga we have been in contact with Tyson to check if this was correct and we are delighted to say that the player remains a Welsh international.
"He is a huge talent and his assurances that he is committed to Wales' push towards the 2017 Rugby League World Cup is a great boost to us all."
Wales say they have been aware for some time that Frizell is unavailable for this year's European Championship.
Wollongong-born Frizell made his debut for Wales against Ireland in 2011 and made two further appearances in the Four Nations tournament the same year.

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather will meet UFC champion Conor McGregor in a fight that has been described as a "farce" and a "circus" but could earn both men as much as $100m (£78.4m).

American Mayweather, 40, posted a video on Twitter confirming the bout will take place in Las Vegas on 26 August, with the message: "It's official."
He will go after Floyd Mayweather and he will try to knock him out
Irish UFC lightweight champion McGregor, 28, said: "The fight is on."
UFC president Dana White told ESPN: "The impossible deal is now done."
The fight - at light-middleweight - will be one of the richest in boxing history.
Mayweather, a former five-weight world champion and widely considered the best boxer of his generation, retired unbeaten in 2015 after 49 bouts.
That followed a successful defence of his WBC and WBA welterweight titles, a victory that meant he equalled Rocky Marciano's career record of 49-0.
Mayweather retired for the first time in 2008 after 39 fights.
McGregor, who has never boxed professionally, became the UFC's first dual-division champion in November 2016 and has previously challenged Mayweather to a fight under mixed martial arts rules.
His boxing licence was granted by the California State Athletic Commission in December, allowing him to box in the US state.
White, who took part in negotiations on behalf of McGregor, said: "We have been in talks for a while.
"They went smoothly. Floyd Mayweather surrounds himself with smart people and we got the deal done.
"The reason Conor McGregor's as big as he is is he'll fight anybody, anywhere, any time. He will go after Floyd Mayweather and he will try to knock him out."
White said the fight would take place at the T-Mobile Arena and would be at 154lbs, one category up from Mayweather's last bout in September 2015, when he gained a wide points win over compatriot Andre Berto.
When Mayweather defeated Filipino Manny Pacquiao on points in May 2015, the fight set a new American pay-per-view record of 4.6 million buys, and White expects that figure to be beaten.
"It's definitely going to be the biggest fight ever in combat sports history and probably going to be the biggest pay day ever - all sides involved are pretty happy with their deals," he said.
Leonard Ellerbe, chief executive of Mayweather Promotions, added: "There is a different feel from the Pacquiao fight. It is the unknown factor.
"There is not one place I go to with Floyd where he doesn't get asked the question: 'Floyd, are you going to fight Conor McGregor?' All Floyd thinks about is fighting Conor McGregor."
McGregor has won 21 and lost three of his 24 MMA contests, and White said his style would cause problems for Mayweather.
"Floyd Mayweather is 40 years old, he's always had problems with southpaws," added White.
"Conor McGregor is 28 and he is a southpaw. Whenever Conor hits people, they fall. He is 100% positive that he wins this fight, and I stopped doubting him a long time ago."
Speaking last month, boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya said the contest was "a farce" and "a circus" and feared the impact it would have on the sport.
"My interest is in the health of boxing as a whole," said De la Hoya, who won world titles in six different weight categories, in an open letter posted on Facebook.
"Floyd's and Conor's motivation is clear. It's money. In fact, they don't even pretend it's not.
"When the fight ends up being the disaster that is predicted, afterwards neither of them will need [boxing] any more. Floyd will go back to retirement and Conor will go back to the UFC. It's a win-win for them. It's a lose-lose for us.
"If you thought Mayweather/Pacquiao was a black eye for our sport - a match-up between two of the best pound-for-pound fighters that simply didn't deliver - just wait until the best boxer of a generation dismantles someone who has never boxed competitively at any level - amateur or professional.
"Our sport might not ever recover."
Mike Costello, BBC Radio 5 live boxing correspondent
One of boxing's all-time greats will take on a man who hasn't had a single professional boxing contest and it'll become one of the most talked-about sporting events of 2017.
Mayweather is coming out of retirement at the age of 40 for a fight some have dismissed as a farce and a mismatch. McGregor is 12 years younger and the biggest draw in UFC, the most successful and popular brand in mixed martial arts. Insults have been traded for two years - when they first started, nobody believed for a moment this fight would happen.
They both draw huge audiences on pay-per-view TV and the showdown is likely to generate tens of millions of dollars for each man.
It's likely to be televised in the United States by Showtime, a cable network and one of the biggest investors in boxing in recent years. Executives there are saying their digital traffic in the past few weeks is leading them to believe this will be nothing short of a monster event and it's been built by the hype generated by these two masters of the art of hype.
Steve Bunce, BBC Radio 5 live boxing pundit
This will be an absolute mismatch. McGregor is a terrific mixed martial artist, a sensational grappler, sensational at all of these things in five-minute rounds - but what he's absolutely hopeless at - and every now and again we see glimpses of it - is boxing.
That's when you have two feet on the ground, one of your hands is up somewhere near your chin and you are using your other hand as a jab. When he boxes, when he tries to box, whether that's in a gymnasium or a little break in a mixed martial arts fight, he is hopeless.


UK director Steve McQueen has received the British Film Institute's highest honour at the London Film Festival.

The Oscar-winning director of 12 Years a Slave was presented with the BFI Fellowship on Saturday by actor Michael Fassbender at a special awards dinner.
Certain Women, directed by Kelly Reichardt and starring Michelle Williams, Laura Dern and Kristen Stewart, won the prize for best film.
Julia Ducournau won the Sutherland Award for best first feature for Raw.
Speaking to the BBC's Jason Korsner afterwards, McQueen said: "It's a good honour.
"It's one of those things where you're just chuffed.
"It's a case of just continuing with the work but it's one of those things that give you a little spring in your step, for sure."
Certain Women, which follows the lives of three Montana women, was described by a panel of jurors as a "humane and poignant story that calibrates with startling vulnerability and delicate understatement the isolation, frustrations and loneliness of lives unlived in a quiet corner of rural America".
French director Julia Ducournau's Raw - a playful coming-of-age horror tale about a vegan who becomes a cannibal - was described as "both unique and unsettling and will quite literally make some swoon".
Ducournau said that with so few women working at the top level of the film industry she was encouraged to see female directors being recognised.
She added: "I think it's about time that things are starting to change.
"I cannot put more emphasis on 'starting'.
"It's good that doors are being opened right now and you're seeing more and more representation of women in the movie industry."
The prize for most original, technical and culturally important documentary went to Mehrdad Oskouei's Starless Dreams, which portrays juvenile delinquent women at the extreme margins of Iranian society.
Best short film was 9 Days - From My Window in Aleppo, a joint production by Syrian photographer Issa Touma, Thomas Vroege and Floor van de Muelen.
Jury president Mat Kirkby said: "Not only does his documentary show what one person, one camera and a restricted view of an alleyway can do to reveal something as complex, confusing, and terrifying as a civil war, but also it demonstrates the power of film to reach the wider world, and make those of us more fortunate re-assess the freedom we take for granted."
Touma said: "I'm really sad to find out that our intellectuals left to London, Paris and Amsterdam and they want to dance a freedom dance from there, which is - they can't do anything.
"And this is why they give so much chance for the fanatics to grow up everywhere.
"So you cannot change anything from far away."


Burger King has announced that hot dogs will be the newest addition to its menus in the US.

The fast food giant's North American president said adding hot dogs was "the most obvious product launch ever."
Burger King plans to launch the hot dogs in 7,100 stores in the US, amid growing competition from other fast food chains.
This is not the first time the burger chain has turned to new product offerings to boost sales.
In March 2015, the company reintroduced "chicken fries" - deep fried chicken strips - first launched in 2005.
Burger King credited them with helping to drive better-than-expected sales in the second quarter of 2015.
The new hot dogs, called "grill dogs", will come in two varieties - classic, topped with ketchup, mustard, chopped onions and relish; and chilli cheese.
The company has suggested franchisees sell the classic for $1.99 (Â£1.37) and the chilli cheese version for $2.39.
Burger King hopes the new "grill dogs" are the perfect product as its restaurants can use the same grilling equipment used for burgers, and many of the same toppings.
Burger King is not the only US fast food chain looking to new products to boost sales.
McDonald's has begun offering its breakfast foods all day long, while Wendy's restaurants have begun offering a four for $4 menu - allowing customers to pay $4 for four items on an abbreviated menu.
More expensive chains like Shake Shack have put forward new products to attract customers, such as its "Chick'n Shack" chicken burger in January.
Not all new products are a success though. In 2013, Burger King launched "Satisfries" - a low calorie alternative to chips - that failed to attract customers.
Burger King's parent company Restaurant Brands International will announce its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings next week.
Restaurant Brands was created last year, when Burger King's majority shareholder, 3G Capital, bought Canadian coffee and doughnut chain Tim Hortons for $11bn.
3G also owns the Heinz ketchup brand.


Indonesia says it may ban Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio from returning over his comments on rainforests being cleared for palm oil plantations.

Mr DiCaprio entered Indonesia on a tourist visa and on Sunday visited Gunung Leuser National Park in Aceh.
"A world-class biodiversity hotspot... but palm oil expansion is destroying this unique place," he posted.
If the comments were judged as "incitement", he would be banned in future, a top official told the BBC.
''In terms of [his] visa and immigration permit, Leonardo DiCaprio did not do anything wrong: He entered and left Indonesia legally. But, we still investigate," Heru Santoso, spokesperson for the director general of immigration department, said.
"If DiCaprio's posting in his social media can be categorised as incitement or provocation, we can blacklist him from coming back to Indonesia."
It is not the first time a Hollywood star has run into trouble in Indonesia over their environmental activism.
Star Wars actor Harrison Ford was threatened with deportation in 2013 for "harassing state institutions" after interviewing the then forestry minister about illegal logging.
In posts on his Instagram account, Mr DiCaprio said he was working to save the Leuser ecosystem, "the last place on Earth where Sumatran orang-utans, tigers, rhinos and elephants coexist in the wild".
On Twitter, he posted a link to a petition addressed to the Indonesian President Joko Widodo, calling for the area to be protected.
Some members of the government have accused him of running a "black campaign" to discredit the government and the country's palm oil industry.
But Farwiza Farhan, chairperson of the group Forest, Nature and Environment of Aceh, told BBC Indonesia that the Oscar-winning actor had done nothing wrong.
"The claim that he was trying to discredit Indonesia doesn't make sense because these environment campaigns are local movements," she said.
"He just gave his support. Tourists can come and speak their opinion. When Leo arrived in Medan he was shocked that the haze was so thick, he asked us: 'Is this smoke or clouds?'"

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane is set to return to training within 10 days after recovering from a knee injury.

Mane, 25, needed surgery and missed the final eight games of last season after picking up the injury during a 3-1 win over Everton on 1 April.
He is set to miss Liverpool's opening pre-season friendlies.
"He will continue to be monitored and assessed by the club's medical staff to ensure he returns in the best shape," said a Liverpool statement.
Senegal international Mane scored 13 goals in 27 Premier League games after signing from Southampton for £34m in June 2016.
He damaged cartilage in his left knee in a collision with Leighton Baines against Everton.
Mane is unlikely to be ready as Liverpool begin their pre-season programme at Tranmere on 12 July before travelling to Wigan two days later.
Liverpool start the 2017-18 Premier League campaign at home to Watford on 12 August (12:30 BST).
