Manchester City's previous experience of a title run-in will help them this season, says manager Manuel Pellegrini.

City beat Aston Villa 4-0 on Saturday to stay fourth, with nine games to go.
Pellegrini said: "In the last five or six games there will be more pressure on all the teams at the top, so we have to keep playing this way until then.
"Experience is very important and we are used to handling the pressure - when we won the title in 2014 we had to win our games in hand, and we did it."
City's win over Villa ended a run of three straight league defeats and closed the gap on Tottenham and Arsenal, who drew 2-2 at White Hart Lane, although they remain 10 points behind leaders Leicester.
Pellegrini's side, who have a game on hand on their title rivals, travel to Norwich next weekend before the Manchester derby on 20 March.
"We will see at the end of March who has the chance to win the title," Pellegrini added.
"I am absolutely sure that all the teams at the top will lose a lot of points from now until the end of the season. It is a special season and all the teams are very close."


Facebook has apologised for removing a video on breast cancer awareness posted by a Swedish group, saying it was incorrectly taken out.

Cancerfonden's video featured animated women with their breasts represented by pink circles, showing ways to detect suspicious lumps.
The images were considered "offensive" by the social media platform.
The social media website caused outrage last month for removing the "napalm girl" photo, saying it showed nudity.
It later reversed that decision, allowing the publication of the iconic picture which shows a badly burned girl fleeing a napalm attack during the Vietnam War.
In a statement to the BBC, a spokeswoman for Facebook said the images of the Swedish campaign had now been approved.
"We're very sorry, our team processes millions of advertising images each week, and in some instances we incorrectly prohibit ads," she said.
"This image does not violate our ad policies. We apologise for the error and have let the advertiser know we are approving their ads."
Before the decision was reversed, Cancerfonden had said in an open letter to Facebook that the campaign "was not meant to offend".
It added that it had found a solution to the problem: illustrating breasts using two pink squares.
Facebook has also been accused of removing a number of pictures of mothers breastfeeding their children.
Other photos have been removed in similar circumstances, reports say, including one of a mammogram and another of a technician who tattoos nipples and areolas for breast cancer survivors.


Engineering giant Weir Group is to implement further cost-cutting measures, including job losses, after a sharp fall in orders for its oil and gas business.

The Glasgow-based company, which makes valves and pumps for the energy and mining industries, said oil and gas orders fell 23% in the first quarter.
Weir expects the decline to continue in the second quarter.
It plans to cut 125 jobs, mostly in its North American oil and gas business.
It will also consolidate its service centres in the region in a bid to deliver cost savings of ??10m.
In a trading statement, Weir said oil and gas markets had been hit by much lower oil prices, which had led to significant reductions in activity levels.
There was better news from the company's minerals division, which saw orders rise year-on-year by 5% between January and April, in line with expectations.
However, Weir warned that mining end markets continued to be challenging, with iron ore prices falling further in the first quarter.
Chief executive Keith Cochrane said: "While mining markets remained subdued, the performance of the minerals division once again demonstrated its resilience.
"Trading conditions in oil and gas markets were challenging through the quarter with a steeper decline in the North American rig count than the market had anticipated.
"Oil and gas activity levels are still falling and we expect a further decline in divisional revenues in the second quarter.
"In response the group is taking further actions to support profitability, including additional workforce reductions and service centre consolidations."
After early volatile trading, Weir's share price was nearly 5% higher by mid-morning.


One of the UK's richest women has been found dead in west London.

The body of US national Eva Rausing, 48, a member of the family behind the Tetra-Pak cartons empire, was found at Cadogan Place, Belgravia.
The death is being treated as unexplained, Scotland Yard said.
However, police have refused to comment on reports that a 49-year-old man arrested in connection with the death and on suspicion of possession of drugs is her husband Hans Kristian Rausing.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the man was no longer at a police station and was currently receiving medical attention.
In a statement, her family described her as a "devoted wife for 20 years and mother of four much loved and wonderful children".
Her parents Tom - a wealthy Pepsi executive - and Nancy Kemeny said they were "deeply saddened by the death of their beloved daughter".
"During her short lifetime she made a huge philanthropic impact, supporting a large number of charitable causes, not only financially, but using her own personal experiences," they said.
"She bravely fought her health issues for many years. The family is devastated at her death and asks to be given privacy at this difficult time."
Her parents-in-law, Hans and Marit Rausing, said they were "deeply shocked and saddened".
A post-mortem examination at Westminster Mortuary did not establish how Mrs Rausing died and further tests are being carried out.
The Met said officers from its Homicide and Serious Crime Command were investigating her death.
Police said they searched the address and found the body after making the drugs arrest on Monday.
Officers could be seen guarding the front door of the Cadogan Place home, which was taped off.
The large terraced house is in one of London's most expensive areas just off Sloane Street, between Knightsbridge and Chelsea.
In 2008 Mrs Rausing and her husband Hans Kristian Rausing faced drug charges after crack, heroin and 52g of cocaine were found in their home.
Mrs Rausing had been arrested after she allegedly tried to smuggle small amounts of crack cocaine and heroin into the US embassy in London.
Charges were then dropped and a caution issued instead.
In 2010 Forbes ranked Mr Rausing's father, Hans Rausing Senior, as the 64th richest man in the world, worth an estimated $10bn (Â£6.45bn).
The family made their fortune from the Tetra Laval milk carton, patented by Ruben Rausing in the 1960s.


Long jumper Greg Rutherford has revealed he and his family received Twitter abuse for his stance over comments made by boxer Tyson Fury.

Rutherford almost pulled out of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2015 show due to fellow nominee Fury's views on women, homosexuality and abortion.
But the Olympic, world, Commonwealth and European champion reconsidered and will attend Sunday's event in Belfast.
Rutherford has said he will not speak to Fury during the awards ceremony.
His girlfriend Susie Verill has revealed the extent of the abuse she received in an article for Standard Issue Magazine.
"If I have seen a wrong or someone is doing it wrong I will make a stand for that, and maybe some people thought that was the wrong thing," Rutherford told BBC Radio 5 live.
"The Twitter abuse my family and I have received since has been a bit harsh in my opinion."
A petition calling for world heavyweight champion Fury's removal from the shortlist of 12 has passed 130,000 signatories.
Rutherford, who won gold at the World Championships in August, added: "I probably won't speak to him [Fury], I have made my stance clear and a big part of it, that I said to the BBC privately, is that I would not go for a drink or meet up with this person with views like that and that still stands.
"I have no desire to mix with people that have strong views that I feel put down people that possibly do not always have the strongest voice."
Heavyweight Fury, 27, won the WBA, IBF and WBO titles on 28 November from Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko, who had been world champion for 11 years.
It led to the Sports Personality panel agreeing to add the Manchester fighter - and Great Britain's Davis Cup winner Andy Murray - to an extended shortlist of 12, shortly before it was announced on 30 November.
Fury, who has since been stripped of the IBF belt, has sought to clarify comments that a woman's "best place is on her back" and his criticism of homosexuality and abortion.
He told BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show: "Let's not try and make me out to be some evil person and I hate gays because I don't hate anybody.
"The only thing I have for people is love and that's what the world needs to realise. What a man does in his own home and with his own people is his own problems."
The BBC said Fury's inclusion on the list of nominees did not mean SPOTY endorsed his personal views.
On Wednesday, BBC director general Tony Hall told the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee Fury was on the shortlist for his "sporting prowess"  and it was "now up to the people to judge whether he should become Sports Personality of the Year".

Vatican treasurer Cardinal George Pell has admitted he did not act after a boy told him about a paedophile priest.

The cardinal told an Australian Royal Commission into child abuse that a student at St Patrick's College in Ballarat said Brother Edward Dowlan was "misbehaving with boys" in 1974.
He said it was "casually mentioned" and the boy did not ask him to act.
Dowlan, who has since changed his name to Ted Bales, was jailed last year for abusing boys in the 1970s and '80s.
The many sins of 'disturbed' priest Peter Searson
Cardinal Pell is giving evidence from Rome to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse.
He was excused from flying back to Australia due to a heart condition.
A group of abuse survivors and supporters have flown to Rome to face Australia's most senior Catholic as he testifies.
Peter Blenkiron was abused by Brother Dowlan and spoke shortly after the cardinal admitted he "should have done more" about the paedophile priest.
"That's me in 1973 six months before I went to St Patrick's," Mr Blenkiron said, pointing to a photograph on his T-shirt.
"If action would've been taken that little boy wouldn't have gone through what he went thought."
Pell said it was a "disastrous coincidence" that five paedophiles came to be at the same school and parish in Ballarat in the 1970s.
His words struck a nerve with abuse survivor Stephen Wood, who has previously said he was bashed and molested starting from age 11.
"Coincidence my foot, it was clearly systemic," he said.
Cardinal Pell also denied claims that he tried to bribe the nephew of notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale.
David Ridsdale, who was abused by his uncle, has alleged that the cardinal offered him a bribe to "keep quiet".
The inquiry heard David Ridsdale did not initially want to get the police involved because his grandmother would find out about his uncle's actions.
On the eve of Cardinal Pell's final day of testimony, David Ridsale said he was hopeful the group's request to meet with the Pope would be approved.
"Most likely we will meet with Cardinal Pell and we have a good chance of a Papal meeting on Friday," he said.
"We want an understanding and an acknowledgment this is a global systemic problem."
Survivors told reporters that Cardinal Pell's office had removed some of the conditions he had set for holding the meetings.
Cardinal Pell released a statement on Wednesday where he offered to meet victims in small groups, without lawyers or media present.
He also said he would be "happy to assist with requests to meet Pope Francis", but warned he had to "rely on the officials responsible for considering these requests".


Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom says his job is to keep the team "strong" after his assistant Tommy Wright was sacked following claims of corruption.

A Daily Telegraph report included a film of Wright apparently accepting money in return for allegedly helping persuade Barnsley to sign players.
Speaking before the 50-year-old's dismissal, Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Sheffield: "We have do things properly.
"We have to speak about it at the right time because it's not nice for anyone."
As part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption in football, the newspaper claims Wright accepted £5,000 at a meeting in Leeds in August.
The Championship club initially suspended Wright "pending an internal investigation" into the allegations.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Wright has said: "Any suggested acts contrary to criminal law or those of the Football Association and Fifa are categorically denied."
Barnsley, who were promoted to the Championship last season, play Leeds United in a Yorkshire derby on Saturday.
"We have to stay strong and focused," said head coach Heckingbottom.
"I can't talk about that. There will be time for me to speak about it later on. The club and myself can make statements later because there are still things ongoing.
"At this moment everything I am doing is focused on the players and the team just as it always is.
Heckingbottom is hoping for a swift resolution, but added: "It is out of my hands. People are dealing with it. It is a big issues and people are following the correct procedures. It ends when it ends."


Newcastle United winger Rolando Aarons has appeared in court charged with violent disorder over a bar brawl in the city.

The 21-year-old and three others were allegedly involved in a disturbance in the VIP section of Livello in October.
Newcastle Magistrates' Court heard an amateur footballer, Wesley Erskine, was hurt during the incident.
Geoffrey Forrester, defending, said the allegations would be "seriously contested".
The court heard Mr Erskine, had been on a night out in Newcastle with his teammates when violence broke out.
Keith Laidlaw, prosecuting, said: "Mr Wesley Erskine suffered injuries when bottles were smashed and bottles where thrown around by a number of the defendants in this case."
Jamar Collins, 21, from Bristol, Jean Coly, 23, from Liverpool, and Joan Jacob, 45, from Newcastle, also appeared in court.
All three are charged with violent disorder and Coly an additional charge of wounding with intent.
All four were granted unconditional bail and will appear at Newcastle Crown Court on 3 May.
The Jamaica-born winger joined the club in 2012.


A teenager was filmed being beaten and stamped on by a girl gang - before the footage was posted on Facebook and shared more than 5,000 times.

Bethany Gallimore, aged 14, said she was scared to leave home after the attack in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire.
Her mother Denise said she was left "physically sick" after seeing her daughter covered in blood - and then watching the brutal video hours later.
Staffordshire Police said three teenagers had been arrested.
Bethany, a pupil at Congleton High School, said she spotted a gang of about 10 around 22:30 BST on 27 March as she spoke to her mother on the phone.
"They ran to me and began crowding me, and started saying I was ugly and fat and telling me they wished I'd drop dead," she said.
"I said [to my mum] 'I'm on my way' and then that's when they hit me, just after I put the phone down.
"They said 'aren't you going to hit her back?' and I said 'no, I don't like fighting'. So they hit me again.
"It went on for 45 minutes to an hour. I knew they were kicking me but I blanked out."
Mother Denise, aged 32, said she was horrified when she saw her daughter.
"She was covered in blood. We started cleaning her up.
"We were just getting in bed and she came in crying her eyes out saying 'they've put the video on Facebook'.
"When I saw them kicking and stamping on her head I was physically sick. I never want to watch it again."
Bethany, of Mow Cop, said she was speaking out so a repeat attack does not happen to anyone else.
"I just don't want those girls walking the streets thinking they can get away with it."
Staffordshire Police said three teenagers, two aged 16 and one aged 13, had been arrested on suspicion of assault.


An artist has recreated about 10 minutes of the 1986 film Superman IV where it was originally shot in Milton Keynes.

A total of about 18 minutes of the film The Quest For Peace was filmed in the town.
Richard DeDomenici has reshot footage in the same locations including the Avebury Building and Milton Keynes station.
He said it was "weird how little it had changed in 30 years".
"You held the camera up and everything looked the same," he said.
"You got a kind of shiver, it's not dÃ©jÃ  vu as you've not been there before but it was a very strange experience."
Mr DeDomenici, has made about 50 recreations of sections of popular films - known as Redux.
The fourth Superman film in which Christopher Reeve starred as the Man of Steel sees the superhero battle the radiation-charged Nuclear Man.
The movie is much maligned by critics and was once name in Time magazine's Top 10 Worst Superhero Sequels.
"I heard the story that the budget got cut in half for the fourth [film] so they chose the most modern place they could in the south of England as it was being filmed at Elstree," Mr DeDomenici said.
"They thought Milton Keynes was new and modern but of course none of the buildings were more than four storeys high so it looked a bit incongruous. It was clearly not New York."
Mr DeDominici decided to recreate the scenes when he started making films in 2013 but it took time to put together due to scheduling filming in people's properties.
Milton Keynes International Festival (MKIF) then got involved and it was shot over two days, with a budget of Â£5,000, using local people in the same locations.
"It's the most ambitious one I've done and I'm very pleased with how it's turned out," Mr DeDomenici said.
"People seem to prefer these cheap knock offs to the originals, it's strange, I'm still trying to figure it out.
"But I think the message in the film about stopping war is extraordinarily pertinent now so I'm glad people are giving it another look."


Wales' televised lottery has encountered an error just months after its launch.

Loteri Cymru has written to players to inform them of a "system error" which meant not all eligible tickets were included in its monthly Loto+ draw in April, May and June.
It said it was "really sorry for the mistake" and was addressing it by holding an extraordinary Â£15,000 Loto+ draw on Wednesday at 17:00 BST.
The weekly draw was unaffected.
Held on the last Friday of each month, Loto+ is a free draw which includes all non-jackpot wining lottery lines from that month.


The Conservatives have reportedly drawn up plans to allow some parents to leave homes worth up to £1m to their children without paying inheritance tax.

The Guardian said leaked Treasury documents suggested the measure could take effect in April 2016, benefiting more than 20,000 estates by 2020.
The measure will not be included in Wednesday's Budget but could feature in the party's election manifesto.
But the Lib Dems said the plans were a "cynical" pre-election move.
The Conservatives announced plans in 2007 to raise the inheritance tax threshold for passing on property and other assets to £1m. It was a pledge in the party's 2010 election.
However, the Lib Dems blocked any changes as part of their coalition agreement and inheritance tax thresholds have remained frozen since 2009.
Under current rules, no tax is paid on the first £325,000 of an estate's value. The allowance can also be transferred between married couples making it worth £650,000.
According to the Guardian, the Conservatives are considering plans for a new tax-free band worth £175,000 per person applying specifically to family homes or main residences passed on to a direct descendant of the deceased.
This, it claimed, would be transferrable between married couples making it worth a maximum of £350,000.
It could then be added to the existing inheritance tax threshold, meaning that in some circumstances properties worth up to £1m could escape inheritance tax altogether.
The plans, which would not be as generous as the Conservatives' 2010 inheritance tax policy, would reportedly cost about £1bn.
As part of the plans, allowances for estates worth more than £2m would be progressively withdrawn in relation to their value.
This "taper" scheme could result in about 2,000 estates paying up to £260,000 more inheritance tax by 2016-17, assuming the plans were introduced in 2016.
The paper, written by Treasury officials for the Conservative minister David Gauke, notes the scheme would be "very popular with the public and in the media" and would primarily benefit "high income and wealthier households".
"It will allow you to say you are exempting those with modest homes from inheritance tax, with up to £1m of assets exempted in certain circumstances," it states.
"This reflects the concern raised by the public about rising house prices increasingly leading to estates with a modest house particularly in London and the south east paying inheritance tax."
When he was shadow chancellor, George Osborne said the Conservatives would raise the Inheritance Tax threshold to £1m, the announcement coming in the autumn of 2007 amid speculation that the then prime minister Gordon Brown would call a snap election.
But the idea has not been seriously discussed since 2010.
Asked whether it was now being revived, Conservative business minister Matthew Hancock said "he did not know about that", merely saying that the idea had been "floated seven or eight years ago".
"That was in in our last manifesto just over five years ago," he told the BBC.
Mr Cable said many people in his west London constituency were concerned about inheritance tax and he understood the "human instinct" to pass on property to children.
But he said the plan sent a "very bad signal about the chancellor's priorities", which he said should be focused on reducing the tax burden on the lowest-paid.
"This is an old chestnut that is wheeled out before every election," he told the BBC.
Earlier this year, David Cameron said he would like to "go further" and take more families out of inheritance tax but warned about the cost of such a move.
But speaking on Tuesday, Mr Cameron said inheritance tax was "not something in the Budget" and dismissed suggestions the Lib Dems were standing in the way of his plans.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage told the BBC's Daily Politics he would abolish inheritance tax altogether, suggesting this "common sense, straight forward" move was the only way of helping people under-40 get on the property ladder in London.
The Treasury collected £3.4bn in inheritance tax in 2013-4, an 8.6% increase on the year before. However, yields remain below their peak of £3.8bn from 2007-8.
Nearly 16,000 estates were liable for inheritance tax in 2011-12 but this is projected to increase to 56,100 by the end of the next Parliament in 2020 as a result of house price inflation and the freeze in tax thresholds.
The proposed changes envisage that this number would fall to 34,300 by 2020.


Radical Islamic terrorism "must be stopped by whatever means necessary", US President Donald Trump has tweeted in the wake of attacks in Barcelona.

The president also called on US courts to "give us back our protective rights" in order to be tough on terrorism.
It comes a day after Mr Trump urged people to look into a debunked myth about a general who fought Islamist militants by using pig's blood.
Twin terrorist attacks left 14 people dead in Spain on Thursday.
American killed in Barcelona terror attack
A driver rammed a car into crowds in Barcelona's tourist district, Las Ramblas, killing 13 people and injuring dozens.
Hours later, police killed five terror suspects in a second vehicle attack in the town of Cambrils.
A woman injured in the attack later died.
Police said the men killed in Cambrils were linked to the Barcelona attack, which the Islamic State group said it had carried out.

In Friday's tweets, Mr Trump lambasted "Obstructionist Democrats" for hindering his security plans, which appeared to refer to legal efforts to block his travel ban in US courts.
On Thursday, Mr Trump condemned the attack in Spain before he urged his Twitter followers to look into General John Pershing's actions during the US war in the Philippines in the early 1900s.
According to the debunked myth, the US commander rounded up 50 terrorists and ordered his men to shoot 49 of them, using bullets dipped in pig's blood. Pigs are considered ritually unclean in Islam. It is claimed the survivor was told to go back and tell his people what happened.
However, historians and fact checkers say there is no truth to the story.
Mr Trump has faced sharp criticism for his inconsistent response to terrorist attacks and hate crimes.
Earlier this week, he declined to label the clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia, a terror attack after the Justice Department announced it was investigating it as an act of terror.
A driver there barrelled a car into a group of counter-protesters at a far-right rally, organised by white supremacists and neo-Nazis, killing a woman and injuring 19 others.
The president said "all sides" were to blame for her death and the violence.


HP has unveiled two high-end 3D printers, which it says are up to 10 times faster and cheaper to run than rival systems.

The firm adds that the "multi jet fusion" technology it has developed means its machines can build "superior quality" prototypes.
One expert said the innovation had the potential to be "revolutionary".
But, at present, HP's machines only print in one colour and one material, which will limit their appeal.
The company is hoping to challenge Stratasys and 3D Systems - the two leaders in the 3D-printing industry.
"HP's printers can produce really high-resolution parts at a cost and a speed that blows the competition out of the water," commented Joe Kempton, an analyst at the tech consultancy Canalys.
"Its technology really is a huge step forward and a game-changer.
"What its competitors have, at the moment, is a wider range of materials and the ability to print in multi-colour. But in the long term, HP should be able to close that gap."
Unlike many high-end 3D printers, HP's technology does not use a laser to administer its print material.
Instead, it lays down a thin layer of powder before using a thermal "inkjet" array to introduce an added chemical agent that fuses the material together.
This is repeated layer-by-layer until the object is complete.
The company says its machines can target 340 million points - called volumetric pixels (voxels) - every second.
The caveat is that its first printers to use the tech can only produce goods made from a monochrome thermoplastic.
Competing machines can build models out of metals, various types of plastics, waxes and other materials - sometimes combining different elements together - as well as different colours.
HP's entry-level model is the Jet Fusion 3D 3200, which is about the same size as a washing machine.
It will cost $130,000 (Â£89,750) when it is released next year. The firm is pitching it as a way to make prototypes.
Its higher-end Jet Fusion 3D 4200 - whose price has not yet been announced - is targeted at customers who also want to be able to turn around "same-day" small-scale production runs.
HP's head of imaging and printing Stephen Nigro told the BBC his company wanted to "move 3D printing from prototyping to production".
He added that future printers would also be able to make ceramic-based objects and multi-coloured items.
Demand for 3D printers is growing but they remain a relatively niche product category.
About 245,000 models were sold in 2015, according to the research firm Gartner.
It forecasts the number will grow to 5.6 million in 2019, although much of that growth will be driven by models costing $2,500 or less.
HP announced it was going to enter the 3D-printing market in 2014, but said it did not want to release a product until it had a "significant" market advantage.
"Competitors have had a significant amount of time to try and adapt and advance their own research," said Mr Kempton.
"However, at the moment there's nothing on the market that is comparable in terms of speed and cost to HP's printers".


Europe's governing body Uefa says no rules were broken despite fans being present at CSKA Moscow's "behind closed doors" match with Manchester City.

However, the organisation says it will review its policy to seek alternatives.
Uefa ordered CSKA to play three Champions League home games without any fans present as punishment for a series of offences including racist chanting.
City plan to complain to Uefa over its stance after 650 vocal fans backed the home side in the 2-2 draw.
The Premier League champions do not believe the presence of supporters influenced the result but they feel the "behind closed doors" ruling was not adhered to.
City captain Vincent Kompany earlier complained his side had been punished unfairly with their supporters also banned from the Khimki Arena.

"Why the hell do we not have any fans here? What have our fans done wrong? There's no fairness in it," he said.
A Uefa statement read: "Following the match between CSKA Moscow and Manchester City, Uefa has reviewed the officials' reports and found no breach of the conditions related to a match played behind closed doors that make part of the disciplinary decision.
"Only people who were allowed to enter the stadium (clubs delegations, media, security staff, Uefa and guests of sponsorship partners) attended the match with no record of inappropriate behaviour.
"However, Uefa is reviewing the 'behind-closed-doors' policy to see if alternative solutions could be implemented in the future."
City were pegged back on Tuesday despite taking a 2-0 lead in the first half, and are without a win from their opening three games in Group E.
"You say no fans, all of a sudden you turn up and the team who has no fans is Man City. So who's getting punished? Who's being done for racism, Man City or Moscow?" added 28-year-old Belgian Kompany.
City brought the issue about supporters to the attention of Uefa.
Meanwhile, Uefa may order clubs to allow only women and children into European matches as punishment for racist behaviour by fans.
The authority's president, Michel Platini, will put forward the issue for discussion by European football's chiefs after a successful use of the scheme in Turkey in 2011, where Fenerbahce imposed the rule after a series of hooliganism incidents.

Uefa chief of press Pedro Pinto said: "The president has suggested an idea where instead of having empty stadiums only women and children are allowed into the match.
"This is just an idea at this stage but Mr Platini is open to discussing it inside Uefa to see if it is better overall for fans and for the image of football."
City are third after three games with their remaining matches at home to CSKA Moscow and Bayern Munich before a trip to Roma, who were thrashed 7-1 at home by Bayern.


Unusually hot, dry and windy weather in south-east France has contributed to the spread of forest fires across the region.

The island of Corsica, the town of Carros, close to Nice, and Saint-Tropez were among the areas badly hit on Monday.
Hundreds of homes were evacuated as a precaution.
"It's a very dangerous day," Michel Bernier, of France's civil defence forces, told AFP news agency.
"And the fight is going to be very, very long tonight," he added as firefighters worked into Tuesday.


Grants totalling £190,000 have been offered to restore 21 First World War memorials across Scotland.

The Kitchener memorial in Orkney is among those in line for financial assistance.
The monument, which sits on an exposed cliff edge, and faces extensive weathering - is getting £30,000.
Memorials in Helensburgh, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Huntly, Tullibody and Keiss have also received War Memorials Trust funding.
The recipients are:
Frances Moreton, the director of War Memorials Trust, said: "The charity is delighted at the level of interest in this scheme and the enthusiasm of people across the country to do something about the condition of their memorials.
"There are still plenty of funds available for the right projects so get in touch to see if we can help your local war memorial."


Egypt has asked Cyprus to extradite the man accused of hijacking an airliner on Tuesday, Egyptian prosecutors say.

Seif al-Din Mustafa, described by Cypriot officials as being mentally disturbed, used a fake suicide belt to hijack the Egyptair flight and forced it to fly to Larnaca.
Egyptian prosecutors said Mr Mustafa should be handed over under a 1996 bilateral extradition treaty.
He has been remanded in custody in Cyprus for eight days.
Possible charges include air piracy, kidnapping and threatening behaviour.
Mr Mustafa did not speak at his court appearance, but gave a victory sign as he was driven away by police.
The hijacking is believed to have been motivated by a row between Mr Mustafa, 58, and his ex-wife, who lives in Cyprus. Cypriot authorities have said the hijacking was not terrorism-related.

How the hijacking unfolded
EgyptAir flight MS181 was carrying 56 passengers from Alexandria to Cairo, along with six crew and a security official, when it was diverted to Cyprus.
During a stand-off lasting more than six hours, almost all passengers and crew were freed unharmed as authorities negotiated with Mr Mustafa.
One person, apparently a crew member, climbed out of a cockpit window, minutes before the suspect walked calmly out of the plane to surrender.
Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides said Mr Mustafa had initially asked to speak with his Cypriot ex-wife, who was brought to the airport by police, before making a series of "incoherent" demands.
President Nicos Anastasiades had responded to a reporter's question about whether the hijacker was motivated by romance, by laughing and saying: "Always there is a woman involved."
A photograph showing a British man posing with the hijacker inside the plane has been widely circulated. Ben Innes told the Sun newspaper he was trying to get a better look at Mr Mustafa's belt.
Describing it as "the easiest and the most foolish hijacking of a plane", private newspaper al-Masry al-Youm recalled the "critical" timing of the incident as Egypt was trying to recover from the downing of a Russian plane over Sinai in October 2015.
State-owned al-Gomhuria wrote that it had "left a scar on Egypt's heart". But it added that "the greatest loss is that tourists will be scared and many countries have delayed their decision to end the ban they imposed on flights to Egypt".
Private al-Youm al-Sabi sees "a blow to tourism in Egypt".
"Lax security at Egyptian airports, either on the ground or on board, tarnishes the reputation of Egyptian airlines and will also impact considerably on tourism in Egypt," echoed liberal opposition newspaper al-Wafd.
A statement from Egypt's civil aviation ministry said 26 foreign passengers were on board, including eight Americans, four Britons, four Dutch citizens, two Belgians, two Greeks, a French national, an Italian and a Syrian.
Egyptian authorities said security measures had been "fully implemented" before the flight.
CCTV footage released by the interior ministry shows Mr Mustafa being frisked at two security checks and passing a slim bag through X-ray machines at Alexandria's Borg El Arab airport.
The BBC's Youssef Taha says Egypt has taken steps to improve airport security after Russian Metrojet Flight 9268 was blown up over Sinai last October.
They include an extra $1bn (Â£690m) a year and a deal with British consultancy Control Risks to review procedures at Cairo, Sharm El-Sheikh and Marsa Alam airports.
Despite this, our correspondent says checks remain inconsistent, with many VIPs and MPs refusing to be searched and airport and airline staff routinely bypassing full security screening.


A Philippines-based militant group has threatened to kill two German hostages it captured in April.

Abu Sayyaf demanded a ransom and an end to German support for the US-led coalition against Islamic State (IS), a monitoring service called SITE reports.
Abu Sayyaf has proclaimed allegiance to IS, a hardline Islamist group that has seized large areas of Iraq and Syria.
Germany said it had "heard about the report" but refused to withdraw support for US action against IS.
A German foreign ministry spokeswoman said that threats were "not an appropriate way to influence our policy in Syria and Iraq".
She added that there would be no change to the existing German strategy, which consists of logistical support and military supplies for Kurdish peshmerga fighters battling IS militants in Iraq.
Abu Sayyaf has been active since the early 1990s.
It is a small but violent Islamist militant group which operates in the southern Philippines.
It is considered a "foreign terrorist organisation" by the US, and has been blamed for attacks including beheadings.
It is also known to kidnap foreign and local hostages for ransom.
The group claimed responsibility for the 2004 SuperFerry 14 bombing, the Philippines' deadliest terror attack in which 116 people were killed.


Hearts have signed experienced Northern Ireland defender Aaron Hughes until the end of the season.

The 37-year-old former Newcastle and Fulham centre-back is a free agent after completing a spell with Indian Super League club Kerala Blasters.
Lennard Sowah also moves to Tynecastle for the same duration.
The 24-year-old German full-back arrives from Premiership rivals Hamilton, where he made seven appearances after joining in October.
A former Arsenal trainee, Sowah spent time at Portsmouth, Hamburger SV, Millwall and Danish side FC Vestjaelland before his switch to the Accies on a short-term deal which expired on 1 January.
Hughes, capped 104 times, played at Euro 2016 and made his last international appearance in a 2-0 loss to Germany in October.
His country's most-capped outfield player, Hughes hopes his move to Edinburgh will help prolong his Northern Ireland career.
"With the current World Cup campaign, I was hoping to come back and play at a level that is going to help keep me involved with the national team," he said.
"The question I keep asking myself is whether I'm motivated to carry on and I certainly am. I feel fit and I'm motivated to play for as long as I can."
The pair are Ian Cathro's first signings since he took over from Robbie Neilson as head coach at the beginning of December.
Speaking to the club website, Sowah said: "My favourite position is left-back but I can also play in the middle or out on the wing. But left-back is where I prefer to play and I will do my very best to help the team succeed.
"I feel right at home in Scotland. I've played in England before and I love the passion for the game over here."
The duo arrive following the departure of Alim Ozturk, with the 24-year-old defender agreeing his release over the weekend and joining Turkish side Boluspor on an 18-month deal.
Hearts have also confirmed that Tony Watt's loan from Charlton has been terminated.
The striker, 23, returned to training with the Addicks last week having scored once in 17 appearances.


Divers exploring an underwater shipwreck have discovered parts of sailors' shoes, which could give clues about life in the 17th Century.

The soles and insoles were recovered from The London, a warship which sank off the Essex coast in 1665.
Evidence of cabins and hand-made glass windows were also found during dives to the wreck.
Archaeologists have said the excavation could be "similar in scope" to the Mary Rose warship.
An English Heritage spokeswoman said "We're very excited about what the objects might be able to tell us about life during this period of great change, between the first half of the 16th Century and the second half of the 17th Century as Britain was expanding as a sea power."
The London was built in Chatham in Kent and mysteriously exploded on a journey along the coast to Gravesend in 1665.
Between May and August, there were 15 dives to the wreck, which lies in two parts on the seabed.
English Heritage, Cotswold Archaeology and the licensed divers will review the operation, before evaluating and conserving the artefacts.
The programme of dives is set to resume next year.
The finds will eventually go on permanent display at Southend-on-Sea Borough Council's Museums Service.


Two climbers were airlifted to safety after getting into difficulty on Ben Nevis.

A coastguard search and rescue helicopter was called out following a report that a man had injured his ankle on the mountain's Tower Ridge at about 14:30 on Wednesday.
Both climbers were eventually winched to safety.
Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team and the Scottish Ambulance Service were also involved in the rescue operation.


One in three teachers quizzed in a national survey have said they are thinking of quitting.

The National Education Workforce Survey suggested that more than 88% of teachers asked said they did not think they could handle their workload in agreed hours.
Plaid Cymru said it was a "damning reflection" on the Welsh Government; the Conservatives called it "alarming".
But the government said only 14% of the workforce took part.
The workforce survey spoke to 10,408 individuals. A total of 5,115 of those were school teachers.
The survey suggested that 33.6% of school teachers indicated that they intended to leave their profession in the next three years.
More than a third of teachers - 38.6% - said they were either not very or not at all familiar with the content and recommendations in Professor Graham Donaldson's report Successful Futures, which laid out proposals for changes to Wales' curriculum.
Full-time school teachers said they regularly work an average of 50.7 hours during an average working week.
Workload was shared as the least rewarding aspect of 78.1% of school teacher's roles.
The ability to manage workload within agreed working hours was a key issue for 88.3% of teachers, who either disagreed or strongly disagreed it was achievable.
Plaid education spokesman Llyr Gruffydd said: "This report is a damning reflection of the Labour Government's failure to make teaching an attractive profession for people in Wales.
"Not only are the figures alarming in terms of the number of those who note they cannot cope with workload demands - a staggering 88% - the survey also shows the potentially damaging impact of this failure to protect staff welfare on the education sector as a whole."
Welsh Conservative Shadow Education Secretary Darren Millar AM said: "These findings paint a picture of a teaching profession that's overworked and disillusioned about the future.
"That a third of Welsh school teachers plan to quit within the next three years, signals a looming staffing crisis of unprecedented proportions."
However, the government pointed to findings that 47% of teachers wanted to continue to develop their practice.
Ms Williams said in a statement to AMs that she was disappointed that only 14% of a workforce totalling 72,497 took part.
"There isn't a single answer to the diverse range of issues raised and there are no easy answers," she said.
"There are clearly a number of positive findings, such as access to professional learning and confidence in the delivery/use of ICT.
"However, we as a government must also acknowledge that there is more to do in ensuring our workforce feel they have the best possible support available.
"As a priority, I remain determined to tackle the long running issue of workload and ensuring teachers have the space and time to teach to the best of their ability, reducing unnecessary bureaucracy and ensuring that they are supported by excellent higher level teaching assistants and learning support workers."
As well as school teachers, of the respondents, 961 were further education teachers, 257 were further education support workers, 1,306 were school supply teachers, and 2,179 were school learning support workers.


Belfast-based UTV Media plc has announced plans to launch a new TV channel in the Republic of Ireland.

UTV Ireland Limited is to submit an application to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) for a contract later on Wednesday.
The new channel would be based in Dublin with additional newsgathering and reporting presence in Cork, Galway, Waterford and Limerick.
UTV has said that it will create more than 100 jobs.
By John CampbellBBC NI economics & business editor
UTV's expansion in the last decade has been based on buying or launching radio stations, so this is a bold departure.
It looks like a bet that the Republic's depressed domestic economy will recover strongly in the next few years.
Among UTV's main programming assets will be the big ITV soaps - Emmerdale and Coronation Street.
They are currently broadcast by TV3 - that channel is already weighed down by a huge debt pile and this move by UTV must raise a question mark about its future.
In recent years, UTV have cut jobs from their news operation in Belfast, a cost-saving process that is continuing.
It plans to put the new channel on air in early 2015.
The announcement follows the signing of an agreement with ITV, which would give UTV broadcasting rights in the Republic for programmes like Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
John McCann, group chief executive of UTV Media plc, said: "UTV Media already has a very strong presence in the Republic of Ireland employing more than 300 people in our various businesses including our market-leading Irish radio stations.
"We look forward to building on that success with the launch of a new Irish TV channel."


A mystery RAF airman who left his photographs at Cardiff's coach station has been identified and the snaps are being reunited with his family.

Ceinfryn Robins, 87, left his 1940s photographs, signed on the back 'Yours Truly' or 'Y.T', a year ago.
An appeal by National Express staff in The Times was seen by the family of the Methyr Tydfil-born RAF engineer.
Although Mr Robins died in November, his son David said the family was "so pleased" to get the photographs back.
Mr Robins, known as Cei to his family, was on his way to get the photographs enlarged for his family when he left them behind.
There were 33 pictures taken while Mr Robins was serving in India and on the Suez Canal to send to his childhood sweetheart Gene Jones.
When staff found them, they launched an appeal to trace the owner.
David Robins, 59, said: "We are so pleased that they have come back because dad would have sent these as a little love letter to Mam.
"Dad would always say 'It's nice to have a record' and his mission on the day he lost them was to pass on that record. Now they are coming back to us and it is wonderful."
Cardiff coach station manager Donna McDonald said: "We couldn't be more delighted to have found Cei's family and return these precious pictures back to the family."
The family are due to collect the photographs next week.


Calls for an independent inquiry have been made after hundreds of visitors' cars became stuck at a car park at Gwynedd's Festival No.6.

Vehicles were left stranded in mud at the park-and-ride site for the Portmeirion event on 4 September.
Organisers have defended criticism, saying they were not warned against using the site.
Porthmadog council has now called for the Welsh Government to carry out an inquiry into the problems.
The Welsh Government, which provides funding for the festival, said, as with all such events, it would be "conducting a full post-event review, with the event organisers and local partners" in due course.
Tractors had to tow hundreds of stranded vehicle clear, with some festival-goers forced to take refuge in a makeshift shelter at Porthmadog's Glaslyn leisure centre overnight.
Both Natural Resources Wales and Gwynedd council have said Festival No.6 organisers knew the park-and-ride facility was on a flood plain and had been warned of a flooding risk.
Speaking after a town council meeting on Tuesday night, councillor Simon Brooks said there remained many unanswered questions.
"We know the festival organisers had some responsibility but we also know there were different agencies involved - Gwynedd council, the police, Natural Resources Wales - and we've heard many different stories over the past few days," he told BBC Radio Cymru's Post Cyntaf programme.
"As a council we need to know exactly what happened and what decisions were taken which led to the problems."
He pointed out there was a lot of local support for the festival and that it brought economic benefits to the town and surrounding area.


A Chinese woman accused of stabbing a four-year-old boy and his grandmother to death with garden shears has appeared in court in Melbourne.

Police say Cai Xia Liao had an affair with the boy's grandfather, Brian Mach.
They say she tied up Mr Mach and killed his grandson, Alistair, who he was looking after. She then waited for his wife, Mai, to return and killed her.
She has been charged with two counts of murder, intentionally causing injury and false imprisonment.
Mr Mach was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
A court hearing late on Wednesday was told that Mr Mach, 61, had recently ended a three-year relationship with Ms Cai, 45.
Detective Leading Senior Constable Tony Harwood said Ms Liao, a Chinese national, arrived at the house early on Tuesday morning.
She "assaulted and subdued" Mr Mach and then attacked his grandson, who was in bed, he told the out-of-sessions hearing.
When Mai Mach returned home from work several hours later, she "was chased into the backyard by the accused".
She was "attacked with the same pair of garden shears, also suffering extreme neck and head injuries", he said, receiving more than 23 stab and slash injuries.
The police were called to the house by a neighbour.
Ms Liao sobbed throughout her remand hearing on Thursday, Australian media reported.


A company secretary who stole almost £1m from a supermarket's accounts after her family's Carmarthenshire farm ran into difficulties has been jailed.

Susan Jones, 57, transferred the cash from CK Supermarkets' accounts where she had worked for 20 years to help out the farm in Llandeilo.
She was jailed for 45 months after pleading guilty to fraud at Swansea Crown Court on Friday.
Judge Peter Heywood described the theft as "staggering".
The court heard how the mother-of-four, who started working for the supermarket in 1994, handled all the company's accounts as her boss was "computer illiterate".
She started transferring the cash into her bank account in 2009 after her family farm ran into financial problems.
Over a four-year period Jones stole £955,368, using it to pay off her mortgage and for agricultural supplies.
The theft was eventually spotted following an audit by an accountant.
Frank Phillips, prosecuting, said the police only became involved when she failed to pay back the cash.
Terence Woods, defending, said Jones's farm had been in her family for several generations and she was "desperate not to lose it".
After the verdict, Iwan Jenkins, from the Crown Prosecution Service, described the case as complex, saying Jones had been "using her own system to keep track of the false payments".
"There was a lot of documentary evidence to assess but we were able to demonstrate exactly what she had done, resulting in a guilty plea," he said.


There's another big election coming up which will have an impact on hundreds of millions of people all around world - but you probably haven't heard anything about it.

Health ministers and officials from 194 countries are due to vote for a new director general of the World Health Organization in Geneva on Tuesday.
The UN agency, founded in 1948, describes itself as the "global guardian of public health", but it lost a great deal of credibility and trust over its handling of the Ebola crisis in 2014.
The new boss could make or break the WHO, which is still trying to prove it is fit for purpose after admitting it was slow to respond to what became the worst Ebola outbreak in history.
However, dealing with epidemics is just part of what WHO does.
Its stated goal is to ensure "the highest attainable level of health for all people".
In practice, that means everything from trying to wipe out deadly diseases for good, to trying to deal with the growing number of obesity and diabetes epidemics, to reducing deaths on the roads and saving the lives of mothers and babies during childbirth.
Heading an organisation responsible for the health of all 7.3 billion people on earth is no small task.
"The word 'health' itself is a burden that it carries," said Devi Sridhar, professor of global public health at the University of Edinburgh.
"Improving health worldwide can mean so many things, from mental health to malaria to unintentional injuriesâ€¦ to cancer.
"It's very hard for one agency, with a very limited and very constrained budget - of around $2bn every year - to achieve all those things. "
Prof Sridhar, who has recently written a book looking at WHO funding, said the US's health protection agency, the CDC, has a budget more than three times that of the WHO.
She also said most of it comes from donors who earmark their funding for specific projects.
Only around 20% of the WHO budget comes from compulsory contributions from member states, she said.
Whoever gets the top job will have to be the consummate politician. They will have to get country leaders on board with big - often expensive - global health objectives, while also being above politics and not beholden to the special interests of any particular country.
"There have been two types of leader at the WHO in the past," said Prof David Heymann, a former assistant director at the WHO.
"Some have tried to build consensus between 194 member countries, then try to implement what those countries have said. Others have been leaders who have been out in front with a vision, and tried to pull 194 countries along with that vision."
There are three candidates left in the running for the $241,000-a-year job.
The vote will take place at the annual World Health Assembly in Geneva. Whoever is elected will serve a minimum five-year term.
"I was born into a poor family. When I was seven, I lost my younger brother, probably to measles. I survived by chance, but it could have been me.
"For me, this position is about standing up for the rights of the poor.
"If I became director general, I would be very vocal on the issue of universal healthcare.
"We complain about emergencies or epidemics, worried it may come to our country. But if we ensure universal health coverage, we can resolve all of those issues.
"Inequity is a central challenge. The world has all the resources to save every life, as long as we believe every life is important.
"Those who have, do not care for the have-nots, and unless we confront that reality honestly, I don't think we will make progress."
"I was born and brought up in Peshawar on the Afghan border in Pakistan. I was raised in a progressive family. My father encouraged us to swim in the summer and play golf. I was a local golf champion by the time I was 16.
"When I was 15, my father passed away silently in his sleep - I think that was a turning point in my life.
"I trained as a cardiologist and I became very disillusioned with the disparity of care between the rich and the poor.
"My vision for this role centres on regaining the WHO's primacy, and ensuring that it has the world's trust as its lead health agency.
"Since the Ebola outbreak, the WHO has come under heavy criticism for its inability to... exercise stewardship during health emergencies.
"I want to make the organisation more accountable and transparent.
"I want it to focus on its core roles, rather than doing everything under the sun, in a half-baked way. I would lead the WHO very differently."
"My parents are both doctors, and probably because of their influence, I started working outside the UK.
"It was when I was working in Nepal in 1989, that I found how malnutrition and disease were most likely to come from households that faced particularly difficult circumstances in terms of income, the status of women and their access to sanitation and water.
"It seemed to me blindingly obvious that I had to work on the underlying determinants of health.
"My first priority if I become director general of the WHO, is to focus on universal health coverage - everybody being able to access healthcare when and where they need it.
"My second priority is to make sure people can be defended against outbreaks of disease.
"Thirdly, we are seeing increasing levels of diabetes, heart disease and mental ill-health. These kinds of non-communicable conditions could be prevented by better work across governments and society."

A gas explosion at a coal mine in south-west China has killed 19 people and left 28 trapped underground, state media say.

Efforts are under way to rescue the remaining miners at the Xiaojiawan mine in Panzhihua city in Sichuan province.
The blast happened on Wednesday evening when about 150 miners were underground, city officials said.
By Thursday morning, more than 100 people had been rescued and taken to hospital, reports said.
Chinese state television said rescue teams had retrieved the bodies of 16 miners who died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Another three people died in hospital.
The mine is owned by Zhengjin Industry and Trade Co Ltd. Its officials are assisting in a police investigation, the city government said in a statement on its official microblogging site.
Accidents are frequent in China's mining industry, which is criticised for poor safety standards.
Official figures show that 1,973 people died in coal mining accidents in the country last year.
While this represented a 19% drop compared to the year before, some have suggested that actual numbers could be higher as not all incidents may have been reported.
China's central government has introduced measures aimed at improving standards but these directives are often ignored at local level.


Sierra Leone are good enough to qualify for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, according to captain Umaru Bangura.

The Leone Stars have not been seen at African football's flagship tournament since the 1996 finals in South Africa.
But Bangura is confident they have enough quality to emerge from a group that includes four-time champions Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia.
They kicked off their campaign for the 2019 edition with a 2-1 win over the Harambee Stars and lie second on the table behind the Black Stars on goal difference.
"I'm confident that with good preparation we'll qualify for the Afcon finals," said Bangura who plays for Swiss club FC Zurich.
The 29-year-old defender added: "We don't want any late preparations.
I'd like to be the captain that leads Leone Stars back to the Afcon finals
"We want players to be available at the right time for early training and play friendly matches against top-class African teams.
"I'm calling on the Sierra Leone FA and sports ministry to prepare us well for the remaining fixtures."
Bangura will go into the Leone Stars' next match against Ethiopia buoyed by a Presidential medal he received recently for services to the national team.
The honour, bestowed upon him by President Ernest Bai Koroma, saw Bangura join a small group that includes the legendary Mohamed Kallon and the country's longest serving captain Umaru Deen Sesay.
Asked if he saw the medal as a source of inspiration in the future, Bangura said: "Yes, it's a great honour to receive such a medal from the Head of State and this will inspire me to fight harder to qualify for the next Afcon finals.
"I'd like to be the captain that leads Leone Stars back to the Afcon finals after an absence of over two decades."
Bangura who helped FC Zurich gain promotion to the Swiss top flight last month, said the Leone Stars are a better team than they have been made out to be and would prove difficult opponents for the teams in Group F.
But he said the team's progress depends on a harmonious relationship between the Sierra Leone FA and the sports ministry.
"I'm pleading with both the SLFA and sports ministry to maintain peace between them as that will help us a lot.
"We've suffered in the past [because of quarrels between the two bodies] and don't want a repeat of it," said Bangura, who made his Leone Stars debut against Mali in 2006 before taking over as skipper eight years later.


Police were called after a group of tourists taking pictures of a seafront were accused of being paedophiles.

Essex Police were called to Marine Parade in Southend on Friday after members of the public confronted and detained three Greek tourists.
The incident flared after a group confronted the men because some children happened to be in the images.
A police spokesman said officers looked at the images and no offence was found to have been committed.
It is understood the images had been taken near some fountains.
A number of posts were later made on social media making allegations against the three men, that were shared thousands of times.
Martin Richardson, from the Happidrome Arcade, saw what happened.
"There was some shouting and hollering which seemed to develop. We saw a police car pull up. We thought nothing of it," he said.
He said while the initial incident seemed to have been dealt with, posts subsequently on Facebook were "disgusting".
"It is a witch-hunt, with words being used riling people's aggression and feelings up over something I feel was blown totally out of proportion," he said.
Tink Palmer, chief executive of the Marie Collins Foundation, a UK charity that supports children who suffer sexual abuse and exploitation via internet and mobile technologies, said it was good adults had voiced concerns about photography around children but said the later posts were a misuse of social media.


Rory, Sabine, Matt, Chris, Chris and Eddie - everyone is talking about the new supersized Top Gear line-up.

When the cast was announced, host Chris Evans remarked, "We really do have a bit of everything for everyone."
It led to some people suggesting the show's creators had taken the idea of balance a little too far:
The photo released by the BBC press office was quickly turned into a meme on social media, as people added their own faces or subtitles to the original picture.
In one, the faces were all replaced with characters from the US sitcom Friends; in another the diverse line-up included Scotland's former First Minister, Alex Salmond and Prince Charles.
One of the most shared tweets honed in on the fact that the solo female presenter, Sabine Schmitz, is pictured in a tee-shirt with the symbol of a woman.
Lots of people shared pictures of mass crowds, introducing them as the new Top Gear line-up. Even Virgin Trains got in on the gag.
Soon social media was exploding with other "new Top Gear line up" memes based around well-known groups. They included a group shot of the US Republican candidates, the fictitious Addams family and the popular BBC 1970s series, It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
And what about the new Top Gear presenters themselves? Newcomer Rory Reid and fellow co-presenter Chris Harris shared their news in rather more understated tweets.

A police chief has found herself at odds with her own force by saying she would look into whether gun owners could act as armed civilians in the event of a terror attack.

Alison Hernandez, Devon and Cornwall's police and crime commissioner, was on a BBC Radio Cornwall phone-in when a caller suggested the idea.
Ms Hernandez said she would "really be interested" in exploring the issue.
The force said armed civilians would risk being caught in the crossfire.
Deputy Chief Constable Paul Netherton said it was "definitely an emphatic 'no'" that the people should be arming themselves against such a threat.
The caller, named Sara, said she was an "ex-registered firearms dealer" and gun owner living in Bude.
She said: "If there should ever be a terrorist attack close to the town centre... what happens if people like I and others try to defend themselves using those guns?"
Ms Hernandez replied: "This could be some of our solution..." before being interrupted by presenter Laurence Reed, challenging her on whether she was advocating vigilantes.
Ms Hernandez replied: "I'm just saying... let's officially have a look at that and see what would be the implications of it.
"We work with businesses to keep our communities safe. I'd really be interested in exploring that with the chief constable.
"If your community was coming under attack, people would do all sorts of things to try to save their community without even thinking.
"People will do incredible things without thinking to protect themselves and the community around them."
After the phone-in, she told the BBC: "I think everybody should be thinking about what part they can play in a terror attack."
However, DCC Netherton said: "A marauding gunman... is probably the most challenging situation the police service is facing and our response to that is by highly professional officers as well as firearms officers and special forces and we would not want to public to be involved in that situation, especially with firearms.
"As was seen in London, we responded immediately and we don't have time to find out if you're an innocent member of the public or a terrorist.
"If you're carrying a gun we will deal with you and deal with you immediately."
He urged anyone caught up in a terrorist attack instead to "run, hide and inform us".


A housing development in Neath, designed with the aim of turning "homes into power stations," is as exciting as it is innovative.

The Port Talbot-based Specific partnership involves Tata Steel, Swansea and Cardiff universities, firms including BASF and Pilkington, and more than 130 scientists and product developers.
These particular proposals involve eight two and three-bedroom homes and apartments.
The Specific innovation aims to transform how we view the role of our homes, offer a way of reducing our dependence on carbon fuels and also act as a tool to help further tackle fuel poverty in Wales.
Despite a range of initiatives to reduce the cost of keeping homes warm, latest figures estimate that nearly one in four (23%) of households in Wales were still considered to be living in fuel poverty.
That is defined  as a household that spends more than 10% of its income on energy. This is significantly lower than the 29% in fuel poverty in 2012 but it is clear that many households are still struggling.
Developing homes as mini-power stations could help reduce that and give people an extra income.
We have already seen several housing associations fitting solar panels to homes. But this goes much further.
Instead of seeing our homes as just four walls we live in and often  expensive to run, we could begin to see them as entities that are working for us - even when we are out. Houses which generate power for us to store and use later or even to sell on.
It has also been suggested that projects like this can change our relationship with energy use, making us more aware of not wasting it.
Smart meters already encourage us to think about how much we are using  and money that we may be inadvertently spending.
Once you have the opportunity to store that energy your home has generated for you - or to sell it - then surely it is logical to presume that we become much more careful about not using more than we need to?
But to really make the most of a scheme like this, the infrastructure needs to change.
The electricity system we have in the UK now, based on the National Grid, was developed from an era of cheap sources of energy and a relatively small number of very large generators using coal, oil or more recently gas.
As power travels many miles through the transmission system energy is lost.
The grid was not designed for multiple smaller generators putting power into it. In Wales, the grid is nearly full and that has been an issue as new larger renewable energy projects have been discussed.
Technology is moving fast however, and a number of new ways of storing and sharing energy are being developed. That could open up further opportunities for projects like this.
And then there is the complicated world of finance, feed-in tariffs and government incentives.
But if we are to get anywhere near targets for cutting carbon emissions or, for that matter reduce our dependency on states around the globe to keep our lights on, then perhaps we do need to get smarter at using the sources of energy around us: the sunshine on our roofs, the air around us, heat from the earth and much more.
Making use of the resources we have around us.


Australia's Northern Territory government is facing a class action lawsuit over the alleged abuse of youths in detention.

PM Malcolm Turnbull called a royal commission last year after a TV show broadcast footage of inmates being stripped, assaulted and tear gassed.
Two former inmates are now seeking compensation as part of a group action, said law firm Maurice Blackburn.
They could be joined by hundreds of others, the firm said.
The lawsuit alleges Dylan Jenkings and Aaron Hyde were abused by guards while in the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre. Both are now serving sentences in an adult prison.
Last year, Amnesty International described the regime at the centre as "institutionalised brutality", with teenagers held in solitary confinement with no access to light or water for long periods.
The document, filed in the Federal Court, claims Don Dale staff "struck" Hyde - then aged 15 - in the ribs during an incident in 2012.
They also allegedly "slammed" his head into a door while he was handcuffed, before placing him in an isolation cell for up to three weeks.
"He was stripped naked and he'd been asking for a blanket and a guard told him to masturbate to keep himself warm," his mother, Tracey Hyde, told the ABC.
"That should happen to nobody. Yes, there are kids that are in there for a reason, but that doesn't mean you can treat them like animals."
Don Dale guards beat Jenkings with batons and punched him twice in the back of the head, according to the claim.
Jenkings claims he was then locked in a cell for 48 hours.
Maurice Blackburn lawyer Ben Slade said: "No-one denies these kids may have broken the law, but they didn't deserve to be broken by the law."
"They have the same right as anyone else to seek compensation through the courts for the harm and deprivations inflicted upon them."
The class action could include anyone subjected to assaults, threats or unreasonable isolation while in Northern Territory youth detention between August 2006 and December 2016, the firm said.
The royal commission is scheduled to hand down its final report on 1 August.


Kris Commons cracked in the only goal as Hibernian stretched their lead in the Championship to six points.

His 14th-minute volley, in the last game of his emergency loan from Celtic, was enough to see off a determined Dumbarton side.
The hosts created several openings and will wonder how Christian Nade failed to score from close range.
It was not vintage from Hibs, but a potentially important win in the title race as Dundee United could only draw.
Technique alone was not enough to separate Hibs from the home side - and both Martin Boyle and Chris Humphrey found early runs affected by a bobbly surface and Marvin Bartley had to hack a Gary Fleming shot clear from inside the area.
The visitors had to be resourceful and their shrewdest, most assured figure inevitably delivered a telling moment. When Humphrey's cross was headed away inside the area, the ball dropped to Commons and he carefully steered the ball into the bottom corner.
The goal ought to have empowered Hibs, but they were unable to take command of the game.
The home side, instead, proved persistent and Lewis Vaughan briefly rose to prominence.
First, he created a chance for Robert Thomson with good skill, only for Hibs captain David Gray to make a goal-saving tackle, and then drew a good save from Ross Laidlaw with a powerful shot from 25 yards.
Hibs were more assertive after the break, with Boyle making several forays down the left with his quick and direct running. Lewis Stevenson also saw a strike bundled away by Dumbarton goalkeeper Alan Martin, with Humphrey then shooting wide
The home side remained ambitious, though, and some neat skill from Vaughan saw him skip past two Hibs defenders only for Laidlaw to rush out and smother the ball at his feet. Gray then had to head another effort off the line.
On a rare foray upfield by Hibs, an attack ended with Dumbarton defender David Smith clearing off the line. Moments later, Nade should have equalised at the back post, but failed to connect.
Dumbarton manager Steve Aitken: "My team were magnificent. They were up against a strong side, a big club and Neil will get them over the line, but we matched them and for spells were better. On another day, we would have taken more.
"We had chances, Christian's probably came too quickly at him.
"If they can keep giving me that [level of performance], we'll be fine."
Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon: "It was very tough. Dumbarton are on the up, Stevie's going a great job, [and it was] difficult conditions.
"It's a fantastic win and in the end we missed some good chances to put a more flattering scoreline on it.
"Dumbarton put us under pressure for periods of the game and we had to see it out. In the end, we just about deserved to tip over the line."

The partner of a mother-of-three, whose body was found in woodland three weeks after she went missing, has denied her murder.

Natalie Hemming, 31, was last seen alive in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire on 1 May. She was found dead on 22 May.
Paul Hemming, 42, pleaded not guilty to murder, alleged to have taken place between 30 April and 4 May, when he appeared via video link at Luton Crown Court.
He is due to stand trial in October.
Mr Hemming, of Alderney Avenue, Newton Leys, was remanded in custody.
Ms Hemming's body was found in a wood at Chandlers Cross, 30 miles from their home, on 22 May.


A former Welsh parliamentary candidate for UKIP has announced that he wants to stand for the party's leadership.

John Rees-Evans courted controversy in 2014 when he was filmed telling a story about a male donkey raping his stallion, in answer to a question about homosexuality.
Mr Rees-Evans told the BBC that the comments were "playful banter" and he was sorry if he offended anybody.
He is the eighth person to announce their candidacy for the party.
Mr Rees-Evans told the BBC Two Daily Politics programme: "I am proposing to transfer power from the leadership to the membership.
"I believe in a process known as direct democracy, where the leadership doesn't have any authority to move the party in any direction it wants to go without direct consent."
He said: "Right now I won't deny the fact there is infighting. The situation you have with UKIP is that you have fighters, you have freedom fighters without an enemy.
"They've just won the last battle. I can tell you in my own personal experience, when fighters don't have a common enemy they turn against each other."
He added that he hoped to "direct all that aggression towards the enemy".
Mr Rees-Evans stood as a candidate for Cardiff South and Penarth in the 2015 general election.
It was then that he made headlines after a video appeared online of him asked by anti-UKIP protestors to respond to comments - apparently made by another of the party's candidates - that "some homosexuals prefer sex with animals".
In the video footage he said: "I've witnessed that", before telling the donkey story.
But asked about the donkey comments, he said it was a "bit of playful banter with a mischievous activist".
"It was an error of judgement. I was very early coming into politics. I'm sorry if I offended anyone by doing that," he said.


As India and Pakistan celebrate 70 years since their creation as sovereign states, the BBC's Geeta Pandey meets ceramic artist Meena Vohra, who was born a week before independent India.

On 7 August 1947, exactly a week before the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan, as murderous mobs went on the rampage in the city of Rawalpindi and surrounding villages, Shakuntala Mehta, a mother of three boys, went into labour and delivered her first baby girl.
The baby was named Meena, but there was no time for celebration.
Rawalpindi - which became part of the new nation of Pakistan - was among the cities worst hit by violence. Her husband, Subedar Ram Lal Mehta, a member of the British army, was busy fighting off armed rioters on the streets and trying to protect civilians from the mobs. He had had little time for his wife or children.
A week later Mrs Mehta fled with her children, including the tiny infant, to India where a sprawling refugee camp in the capital, Delhi, was to be their home for the next two years.
"I have no memory of the camp, but my mother and brothers told me later we were very poor and even to get one meal a day we had to struggle," Ms Vohra said.
"Until my father arrived in Delhi in November, my mother looked after us on her own. My eldest brother, who was 12, would find work and bring some money home on which we survived."
As she and her nation enter their eighth decade, Ms Vohra told the BBC that her journey had been much happier and more peaceful than that of India, which has seen wars, political assassinations, religious riots and murders.
Life for Ms Vohra really began when the Indian army allotted her father a "nice new" house in the cantonment town of Mau.
"Dad had been rewarded for bravery for his role in the fighting in Rawalpindi and he had become a lieutenant."
Over the next few years, as he moved across India from one posting to another, the family made their home in new towns and cities every few years.

In 1967, after she graduated from college, 20-year-old Meena married a young air force officer her parents chose for her.
"Flight-Lieutenant Gurjinder Kumar Vohra was 26. Before the wedding, I had met him just once with the rest of my family. The army band played at our wedding and his family was very impressed," she laughs.
The wars of 1962 and 1965, with China and Pakistan respectively, caused only minor disruption to her life. "My father didn't go to war. In the cantonment where we lived, we had to run and take shelter in the trenches every time a siren would go. We never had any time to take anything with us, except perhaps a bottle of water."
But war did enter her home in 1972 when her air force engineer husband was sent to Bangladesh - then fighting for independence from Pakistan - to repair the aircraft and machinery being used there.
"He was there for a month-and-a-half and I was really scared for him. He was in the midst of war. I had small children to look after. I had to take them and run into the trenches whenever the siren would go," she says.
"But the children would get excited every time they would see a fast plane dashing across the sky and shout: 'That's Papa'.
"After the war, he returned home to a hero's welcome and the air force organised a big gala celebration. It was a proud moment for us," she adds.
Meena Vohra spent the 1970s and 1980s giving birth to three children and raising them. In 1980, she also set up a school for underprivileged children in a village in south Delhi.
"I started with one four-year-old child in a small hut. People weren't keen on sending children to school because they wanted them to work. But gradually we persuaded the villagers. We collected funds and built four rooms.
"Two-and-a-half years later when I left to teach at the Naval Public School, we had seven teachers and 40 students."
The darkest hour in the nation's life, Ms Vohra says, came on 31 October 1984 when then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards for ordering the army into the Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest shrine.
"I adored her. She was strong and determined, a forceful orator, she carried herself really well, the saris she wore and the way she wore them. She was very charismatic and dignified. I wanted to be like her. I was heartbroken," she says.
"I was in the school when she was shot. The school was shut and we were sent home in school buses. We were glued to our tiny black-and-white TV set watching news. We even forgot to cook or eat."
Then the anti-Sikh riots started. "It was horrible. Our neighbours were Sikhs and they were too afraid to step out so we helped them get supplies. The air force campus was guarded and secure, but then you never know.
"It took a couple of months to get back to normal life. But there was fear, many of our friends shifted to Punjab because they felt insecure in Delhi."
In 1997, when she turned 50, she decided to do something different: "I bought a potter's wheel and began working with clay."
A year later, she opened a studio to teach pottery and over the past two decades, she has taught 400-500 students.
As she turns 70, she reflects on her life and that of India.
"In my personal life, I'm a very peaceful, happy soul, contented with what God has given me. I couldn't have asked for more," she says.
On the other hand, she says, the journey of India has been "bittersweet".
The country has made immense progress, in the field of electronics, information technology, industry and space. In the past decade, there have been revolutionary changes with mobile phones and new technology, she says.
"But I despair about the current political situation, the climate of intolerance, the growing Hindu fanaticism and the government backing it. I'm bothered when Muslims are lynched by mobs. And since no-one is being punished for these crimes, they continue.
"Muslims are feeling very insecure and agitated, and that's not good for the country.
"And I worry about the loss of individual freedoms. How can the government dictate what to eat, what to wear and where to go?" she asks.
For someone whose family lived through the trauma of partition and after her personal experiences of the 1984 riots, Ms Vohra says hatred against "the other" must be shunned.
"I first became aware of partition when I was six or seven years old. I studied about it in school and our family elders told us stories of the carnage and the blood-letting that accompanied it.
"I was very disturbed and I said I would never be friends with a Muslim, but then I met lots of Muslims in the armed forces, who worked with my dad and my husband, and we made lots of good friends and I realised how wrong I was to think like that."
I asked her where she planned to be on 15 August.
"Every year I visit the school I set up in Delhi for underprivileged children to hoist the flag on India's independence day. That's where I will be this year too."


The US has been spying on Japanese cabinet officials, banks and companies, including the Mitsubishi conglomerate, whistleblowing website Wikileaks says.

Documents released by Wikileaks list 35 telephone numbers targeted for interception by the US National Security Agency (NSA).
The surveillance extends back at least eight years, Wikileaks said.
Wikileaks has previously released files showing the US spied on Germany, France and Brazil - like Japan, all allies.
There has been no comment from Japan on the latest claims.
A Wikileaks statement said the latest revelations "demonstrate the depth of US surveillance of the Japanese government".
The documents, marked "top secret", reportedly show that the US was listening in on conversations at Japanese government ministries and offices.
Wikileaks says the US was aware of Japan's internal discussions on issues such as trade talks, climate change policy and nuclear and energy policy - as well as the contents of a confidential briefing in Prime Minister's Shinzo Abe's residence.
The US also reportedly spied on Bank of Japan officials and on the fossil fuel departments at Japanese firms Mitsubishi and Matsui.
Wikileaks says the NSA shared the information it had gathered with Australia, Canada, the UK and New Zealand - the so-called "Five Eyes" group.


No job should be "off limits" to women, a Welsh government minister has said.

The message comes as leading sports stars, engineers and scientists seek to inspire girls in Wales to take up careers in male-dominated industries.
Communities Minister Lesley Griffiths said "barriers" blocking women from better-paid jobs needed tackling.
More than a hundred 16 to 18-year-old girls will get advice on reaching the top at the event at Wrexham's Glyndwr University on Friday.
Those taking part in the conference include Alison Westcott, a mechanical design engineer at technology firm Raytheon, Royal Air Force computer programmer Corporal Clare Loughran and Paralympian archer Pippa Britton.
Wales' Chief Scientific Adviser Prof Julie Williams and Alison J McMillan, a professor in aerospace technology at Glyndwr University, will also be involved.
Ms Griffiths said: "The achievements of the women at today's event show us no job is off limits to women and girls.
"However, it is important to hear about the obstacles successful women have faced along the way.
"We must acknowledge and address these barriers if we are to stop women from being shut out of certain careers and under-represented in many of our better-paid jobs."
Prof McMillan said the insights of women can "lead to profound changes".
"Women's contribution in innovation means the development of products that improve women's and men's lives, and make a real difference to the profitability of a company," she added.


A three-dimensional woollen model of Bristol which took more than three years to create has gone on show.

Reproductions of city landmarks including Clifton Suspension Bridge, St Mary Redcliffe and SS Great Britain were intricately crocheted and knitted by more than 250 volunteers.
It will be the first time "Briswool" has been displayed as a finished work.
The project is estimated to have taken hundreds of balls of wool and thousands of hours to complete.
250+
volunteers aged from seven to over 80
It measures 6mx4.5m
and used hundreds and hundreds of balls of wool
It took three years to make
It is 80% crochet and 20% knitting
Karen MacDonald, from the M Shed Museum, said: "Briswool has been a joy to help set up - it's a paintbox of colour and, as our exhibition designer said, a celebration of human creativity.
"It's been fun seeing it all coming together and the tiny details adding the finishing touches, like beaded bats flying over the woolly representation of Arnos Vale.  Very rewarding after the weeks of loading bags and boxes in and out of freezers."
The work is an artistic representation of the city rather than an accurate replica and grew out of an idea inspired by one of the volunteers who suggested to artist Vicky Harrison that people knit "the iconic buildings of Bristol".
Ms Harrison said: "Volunteers have chosen to stitch locations or objects that mean something to them personally or were a challenge to make.
"It is a breathtaking scene that charms the eye with colour and texture."
The model will be on display at M Shed until 12 June.


Plans for a £20m revamp of an area of Bristol considered one of the city's biggest eyesores have been approved.

The derelict Westmoreland House on Stokes Croft will be demolished and the adjoining Carriageworks renovated for business units and 118 new homes.
Bristol City Council deferred making a decision on the proposal in April after protests against the lack of social housing in the design.
The scheme was approved after changes to the original plans were made.
These included the removal of gates and increasing the number of affordable properties in the development.
Lori Streich, from the Carriageworks Action Group, described the planning approval as "incredibly good news", and said it is "a very significant step to achieving an end to the dereliction of that site".
Comer Homes currently owns the buildings, but is to sell to Fifth Capital now planning approval has been granted.
The two buildings have been vacant for more than 25 years and Bristol City Council hopes the scheme will help regenerate Stokes Croft.
The area is regarded as the "spiritual home" of the street artist Banksy as his famed mural The Mild Mild West resides near Jamaica Street Junction.


An independent inquiry into flooding in York over Christmas will take more than six months to report back.

The inquiry is to look at how the city council and other agencies coped with the floods and how information was provided to residents.
It will be chaired by Angharad Davies, a self-employed barrister.
Hundreds of homes and businesses were flooded in the city after the Rivers Foss and Ouse burst their banks in December.
The other two members of the inquiry panel have been confirmed as:
They were appointed by the leaders of the Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Labour and Green groups on the city council.
"It's important that as a local council we do everything we can to answer residents' questions and ensure lessons can be learned for the future," they said.
"This review will help us to get a much clearer picture of what happened and what steps need to be taken to try to prevent flooding like this in the future."
The council said the chair will be able to consider whether to take oral evidence in public, written evidence, or use public meetings and workshops to achieve its aims.
A budget of Â£50,000 had been provided to cover all the cost involved with the inquiry.
The final report and any recommendations will be used by the council to form an action plan to be used during any future flooding event in the city.


Bydd Philip Hammond yn cyhoeddi ei gyllideb gyntaf fel canghellor ddydd Mercher - cyhoeddiad all effeithio ar ein bywydau a'n pocedi ni gyd.

Ond mae yna rybudd gan rai o fewn y llywodraeth i beidio â disgwyl gormod.
Er gwaetha'r rhagolygon economaidd digon ffafriol, mae'r canghellor yn dal i boeni bod yna gyfnod digon tymhestlog i ddod wrth i ni adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd.
Gyda dyled y wlad yn dal i fod yn syfrdanol o uchel, mae o eisiau sicrhau bod arian wrth gefn rhag ofn i bethau fynd o'i le.
Hon hefyd fydd y gyllideb wanwyn olaf. Mae Mr Hammond yn bwriadu symud ei brif ddigwyddiad ariannol i'r hydref.
Felly nid dyma'r amser i wneud cyhoeddiadau mawr nac i gyflwyno newidiadau radical.
Ond mae yna bwysau arno gan aelodau Ceidwadol i ganfod arian i helpu cwmnïau yn Lloegr sy'n wynebu cynnydd sylweddol yn eu cyfraddau busnes, wedi'r adbrisiad diweddar.
Mae disgwyl iddo hefyd gyhoeddi arian ychwanegol i ddelio gyda phroblemau gofal cymdeithasol yn Lloegr.
Dau fater sydd wedi'u datganoli, ond fe allai Llywodraeth Cymru dderbyn cyfran o unrhyw arian newydd i wario fel ag y mynnent.
Bydd y trothwy treth - y pwynt mae pobl yn dechrau talu treth ar eu hincwm - yn cynyddu ymhellach hefyd wrth iddyn nhw yn raddol yn symud tuag at y targed o sicrhau y gall pobl ennill £12,500 cyn dechrau talu treth incwm.
Ond nid symiau enfawr fydd y rhain - dyw Mr Hammond ddim yn bwriadu taflu arian o gwmpas, er gwaetha'r galwadau gan y blaid Lafur am fwy o arian i'r gwasanaeth iechyd.
Dywedodd ffynhonnell yn y llywodraeth wrthai i "beidio â disgwyl gormod" yn y gyllideb hon.
Mae Mr Hammond yn ganghellor gwahanol iawn i'w ragflaenydd George Osborne.
Does ganddo ddim diddordeb mewn sgorio pwyntiau gwleidyddol - felly mae'n llawer anoddach i adrannau werthu cynlluniau neu gyhoeddiadau fyddai'n hawlio'r penawdau.
Roedd Mr Hammond wedi codi gobeithion y byddai cyhoeddiad ynglŷn â bargen ddinesig Bae Abertawe.
Ond mae ffynonellau yn y llywodraeth wedi awgrymu bod angen mwy o waith cyn y bydd yn cael y sêl bendith terfynol, er mae'n debygol o ddatgan cefnogaeth i'r cynllun yn ei araith.
Mae'n debyg y bydd yna siom hefyd i gefnogwyr Morlyn Abertawe oedd yn gobeithio am gyhoeddiad yn y gyllideb.
Yn ôl y sôn, mae'r llywodraeth yn dal i ystyried adroddiad sy'n argymell bod y cynllun yn cael ei weithredu.
Felly er gwaetha'r galwadau am fwy o arian o bob ochr i'r Tŷ, gyda Brexit ar y gorwel mae'n bur debyg mai cynilo, nid gwario fydd bwriad y canghellor.


A new Puerto Rican reality TV show is to be made in Scotland next month.

Check In will involve celebrity comedians from the country travelling to the UK before visiting various places by minivan.
In Scotland, the show will be filmed at Loch Ness and in Edinburgh. Before heading north, the programme will be filmed at Stonehenge and in Liverpool.
One of the show's co-creators, Arnaldo Santiago Rivera, was due to visit the places this week ahead of filming.
Mr Santiago Rivera, president and founder of online marketing agency Digital Lab, and Sixto George, executive producer of media enterprise SBS Puerto Rico, created the show.
They said the show would seek to "immerse Puerto Rican celebrities in the host country's culture".
It will also show "interactions between different cultures, interesting facts about the people, history and gastronomy".
Puerto Rican comedians Jorge Pabon and Robert Ferran have been lined up for the show.
Mr Santiago Rivera said: "The UK is an exciting and vibrant country with such a diverse population.
"I thought that it would be a fantastic opportunity for Jorge and Robert to see the country not from a tourist's perception but to be fully immersed in its culture and experience things that they wouldn't necessarily experience if they were to come the UK on holiday."


Hibernian chief executive Leeann Dempster has told BBC Scotland Alan Stubbs' position as head coach is safe.

Hibs are six points behind second-placed Falkirk with two games in hand in the Scottish Championship.
Rangers have already won the division and automatic promotion, with the side finishing second entering the Premiership play-offs at a later stage.
"We've hit a dip in form," said Dempster. "Alan is supported and we're going forward."
Falkirk came back from two goals down to draw with Hibs on Tuesday evening and Stubbs' side have taken just five points from their past eight league games.

The sides finishing third and fourth will play off to decide who plays the league's runners-up in the two-legged semi-final.
The winner of that second tie will meet the team finishing second bottom of the Premiership in the final, again over two legs.
Stubbs - who was appointed in the summer of 2014 - led Hibs to a runners-up finish last season but they lost at the play-off semi-final stage to Rangers, who were beaten in the final by Motherwell.
"We're in here for the long game," said Dempster. "Alan and our team and our coaches have not become poor managers overnight.

"We're in the Scottish Cup semi-final [against Dundee United on Saturday], we got to the League Cup final [losing to Ross County] and we can get promoted this season. We were in the Scottish Cup semi-final last year.
"We can do things this season."
Dempster praised Stubbs for helping the club pull in the same direction.
"He's keeping the dressing room positive, training is good and he's pulling us all together - that's what we need here," she said.
"We've hit a poor bit of form. That's what's happened. We've actually had, up until that point, a good season so I don't want to over-dramatise things.
"People are upset, they're hurting - they don't want to be losing these games.
"But you're under pressure working at Hibernian; you're under pressure working at a football club. We're all under pressure and Alan handles that really well."
And, with a third successive season in the Championship in prospect, Dempster added: "Of course, I've looked at the possibilities.
"I'm the chief executive, I need to have a long-term plan. I need to also look at the short-term.
"But I'm not even considering that at the moment. I'm focused on promotion. We're focused on the Scottish Cup this weekend."
