Detectives investigating the murder of a notorious criminal say they want to speak to two women who were jogging nearby at the time he was shot.

John "Goldfinger" Palmer, 64, was shot in the chest six times outside his home in South Weald, Essex, in June 2015.
Essex Police said the killing had "all the hallmarks of a professional hit".
The force has released a photo of two potential witnesses who were jogging in Weald Country Park who may hold "vital information" about the crime.
Palmer, who allegedly amassed a fortune in a time-share scam, died after his killer climbed over a fence and shot him in an area not covered by CCTV, detectives believe.
His body was found in the garden by his son's girlfriend on 24 June at about 17:30 BST.
Palmer had recently had surgery and it was initially thought he had suffered a cardiac arrest.
It is thought this surgery was common knowledge among friends and family and could have been deliberately used to disguise the injuries.
A week later, a post-mortem examination found the convicted conman had been shot in the chest six times, which prompted an investigation by the police watchdog.
Police have previously said there was "speculation" Palmer was linked to other organised crime such as the Hatton Garden raid.
Det Ch Insp Stephen Jennings said Palmer's "significant criminal history" meant he may have been targeted by "a person or group of people who may have commissioned the killing".
Palmer was due to stand trial in Spain at the time of his death, which police say is a "significant main line of inquiry".


Former British and Irish Lions hooker Keith Wood has stood by his criticism of Warren Gatland's handling of the team in Australia.

Wood called Gatland's decision to drop former Lions captain Brian O'Driscoll for the third Test against the Wallabies in July "a terrible mistake".
Without the Ireland centre, the Lions won the Test 41-16, and the series 2-1.
But asked if he regretted the strength of his Gatland criticism, Wood replied: "I don't, no."
Tours: 4 (2001, 2005, 2009, 2013)
Matches: 18 (8 Tests)
Tries: 9 (1 in Tests)
Captain: 7 times (1 Test)
Test record: 2 wins, 6 defeats
O'Driscoll, 34, was widely expected to be named captain after Wales flanker Sam Warburton tore a hamstring during the second Test in Melbourne on 29 June. Instead, Gatland omitted him from the squad.
Wood - who played on two Lions tours, to South Africa in 1997 and Australia in 2001, as well as winning 58 Ireland caps between 1994 and 2003 - said ahead of the third Test that Gatland's decision had left him "totally at a loss".
Fellow former Ireland international Willie John McBride - who captained the victorious 1974 Lions tour to South Africa - also questioned the selection made by Gatland, who picked 10 Welshmen in his starting line-up in Sydney.
The New Zealander has returned to his job as Wales coach following the Lions tour.
Wood accepted the Lions produced a memorable display in the third Test, but felt such a performance could have been delivered in the opening two encounters against the Wallabies - and still believes that leaving out O'Driscoll was a mistake.
He said: "I was glad to see the Lions win at the end, absolutely.
"And I thought it could have been a bit more exciting.
"I thought there could have been a bit more flair, a bit more of a blend of the four teams.
"Someone asked me earlier on: 'Was he [Gatland] vindicated?' I think [he was] vindicated to the point that Lions won a Test series.
"But in some way I think the Lions lost a little bit in the summer because I didn't think it was a blend of four teams."
Wood - who played for Gatland when the New Zealander coached Ireland between 1998 and 2001 - says he has "not even vaguely" criticised the selection of 15 Welsh players for the tour.
"I've never said there were too many Welsh players on the team. That wasn't the point," said Wood.
And he says O'Driscoll came out of the controversy "fantastically well".
Wood added: "My view still is that the best option was to have him on the squad as a leader, as everything else in it.
"The fact that he wasn't needed on the day doesn't actually change that view.
"It's fantastic [that we won] and we did need to win and I argue against myself a little bit in relation to that."
Wood believes that Wales will go into the 2014 Six Nations as "overwhelming favourites", having won the 2013 tournament, then provided the bulk of the Lions tour party.
He added: "It's up to everybody else to continue telling them that and to see if they can knock them [Wales] off the perch a bit."
But he says England's 2003 World Cup winning coach Sir Clive Woodward tipping Wales as winners of the 2015 tournament in England is "a tad premature".
"There's plenty of rugby to be played before then," said Wood.


Pianist Igor Levit surprised audiences at the first night of the BBC Proms by improvising a version of the EU Anthem.

The 30-year-old played Beethoven's Ode To Joy as an unscripted encore, wearing an EU flag on his lapel pin.
Although he gave no explanation for the choice, Levit is a fierce advocate of the EU, which he has described as "a project of unity and peace".
He has also challenged European politicians to stand up to the "angry, dangerous" rhetoric of President Trump.
After coming off stage at the Royal Albert Hall, the musician tweeted: "Hey guys, I've been away for an hour and a half. Is @realDonaldTrump still President?"
The BBC said it had been aware of his intention to play Ode To Joy in advance but saw it "an artistic choice".
Levit based his initial phrases on Liszt's transcription then segued into his own, lyrical improvisations.
The pianist has been called "the future of piano" and the "player of the century". He was born in Russia in 1987, but moved to Germany at the age of eight.
At that age, he had already been playing for five years. His first recording (of Beethoven's late sonatas, usually tackled much later in a pianist's career) brought him widespread acclaim; and he won the 2014 newcomer categories in both the BBC Music Magazine and Royal Philharmonic Society awards.
Having adopted Germany as his home, he describes himself as "a grateful, happy, respectful, political, curious and responsible European".
When Britain voted to leave the union last June, he posted an image of the EU flag, missing one star, accompanied by a sad face emoji.
Levit's billed performance, of Beethoven's third piano concerto, occupied most of the first half of the Proms' opening night.
Tackling one of the composer's most soulful pieces, he played with nuanced intimacy, and seemed visibly moved towards the climax.
Earlier, the 123rd Proms season had opened with the world premiere of St John's Dance, by 29-year-old British composer Tom Coult.
The five-minute piece was inspired by a bizarre social phenomenon from medieval Europe, known as dancing mania.
According to Proms presenter Katie Derham, it would find "groups of peasants" dancing "in a trance-like state for days or even weeks on end, often until they collapsed".
Appropriately, then, Coult's composition was a discordant and often frantic cacophony of competing phrases. Or, in his own words: "A relentless series of dances, often spiralling out of control, often with two or more heard simultaneously."
After the interval, the first night audience were treated to a choir of more than 400 people performing John Adams' Harmonium.
The mass chorus included the BBC Symphony Chorus and the BBC Proms Youth Choir. Many of the latter were newcomers to classical music - including a beatboxer and a death metal vocalist.
Their shimmering, mesmeric performance was conducted by Edward Gardner, who paid tribute to the choristers, saying: "I'm completely moved by the commitment of people who have been learning this piece for six months and haven't sung in any kind of organised choir before".
Based on poetry by John Donne and Emily Dickinson, Harmonium is a complex work featuring hundreds of "human voices riding upon waves of rippling sound," in Adams' own words.
It is perceived as a work of minimalism, but Gardner challenged that view.
"When we speak about minimalism, we think about something quite clinical, quite mathematical," he said, introducing the piece on BBC Two.
"Although this piece has some of those elements - it has a very strong pulse, sometimes it has the chorus singing individual notes with one syllable - this piece rises emotionally way above anything I consider to be minimalist.
"It's much more of a romantic piece. It's about everything we deal with through life and towards death."
John Adams' music will feature throughout the 2017 Proms season, in honour of the US composer's 70th birthday. An excerpt of his new opera, Girls of the Golden West, will be played at the Last Night, on 9 September.
Overall, the season incorporates more than 90 shows, including performances in Hull and a tribute to cult musician Scott Walker.
Stars including Nicola Benedetti, Jarvis Cocker, Beatrice Rana, Daniel Barenboim, Jools Holland and Tom Jones all appear on the line-up.
All of this year's concerts will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3, and more than 20 will be filmed for television or the iPlayer. The BBC is also experimenting with lossless audio - by streaming the season in CD quality via the BBC Proms website.

Owner Randy Lerner says Aston Villa's relegation from the Premier League "lies at my feet and no-one else's".

The American said the club's "desperate existence is totally unacceptable, unbearable and totally incompatible with Villa's glorious past".
Villa, who are without a manager, have won only three league games, while two directors quit this week after falling out with the billionaire owner.
"I believe in Aston Villa and know it will come back stronger," Lerner added.
"Memories of Acorns on the shirt, and Ashley Young scoring a late winner against Everton still romantically nourish me."
The logo of Acorns Children's Hospice was carried on the team's shirts for free during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons.
Lerner, who put Villa up for sale in May 2014, said he will continue "to try to put the club into worthy hands" and "do my best to position Villa for the quickest possible return to its rightful place among England's elite".
Villa have taken only 16 points from 34 league matches and were relegated when they lost 1-0 at Manchester United on Saturday.
Two managers have left this season - Tim Sherwood in October and Remi Garde in March after only 147 days in charge - while David Bernstein and Lord King resigned from the board on Monday.
Striker Gabriel Agbonlahor was suspended on Monday after he was allegedly pictured with laughing gas canisters on the night Villa were relegated.
Agbonlahor was already on the sidelines after being told he was not fit enough.
Lerner thought the season would end badly when they conceded three goals in the final 18 minutes to lose 3-2 at Leicester in September.
He wrote: "A nagging sense of inevitability set in against Leicester City despite the late lead we enjoyed. Can't say why, although I doubt I'm alone..."
Lerner, who bought the club from Doug Ellis in 2006, has become a distant figure at Villa Park in recent years.
He last attended a home match in September 2014, the first time he had been seen at the club's home since December 2012.
In the first four years of his ownership, the 1982 European Cup winners were almost a fixture in the top half of the table under then manager Martin O'Neill,.
But since the Northern Irishman's shock resignation days before the start of the 2010-11 season, a steep decline has set in.
In the past five seasons, Villa have finished ninth, 16th, 15th, 15th and 17th.
This season's relegation after 34 games is the joint third-fastest - in terms of games played - since the top division was reduced to 20 teams in 1995.
In his statement, Lerner wrote: "How many seasons after all can one hold on and hope to slide through? That is not Aston Villa."


A 69-year-old man who died in a car accident in County Antrim was a former scout for Linfield.

Barry McClung died after an  accident as he was driving his car on the Coast Road near Larne on Thursday night at about 21:00 BST.
No other vehicle was involved. Linfield Football Club have been paying tribute to him.
On the club's website they said Mr McClung had just recently retired as their scout.
The tribute posted on their website said his death was a sad loss.
"He used to work in Nortel in Newtownabbey with Linfield Assistant Manager Bryan McLoughlin and tributes from both Bryan and David Jeffrey will be posted on this website tomorrow," the statement read.
"The deepest sympathy and most sincere condolences of everyone connected with Linfield Football Club are conveyed to the friends and family circle of Barry McClung at this sad time."
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.


The 50th anniversary of England's victory in the 1966 Football World Cup is among dates being commemorated next year by English Heritage.

The charity, which runs the London blue plaques scheme, will be erecting a plaque to Bobby Moore, captain of the team which beat Germany 4-2 at Wembley.
The Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the World War One Somme Offensive in 1916 are also being commemorated.
English Heritage will also mark William Shakespeare's death at 52 in 1616.
The charity said Bobby Moore's blue plaque would be erected at his former home in Barking, east London.
Moore, who captained West Ham United for more than 10 years, won a total of 108 caps for England.
"Birthdays or weddings are often opportunities to remember key events in our own personal lives," said English Heritage chief executive Kate Mavor.
"The same is true of historic anniversaries - they provide a meaningful moment to look back on pivotal points in English history.
"Next year is a particularly rich one for anniversaries - from the Battle of Hastings to William Shakespeare, these events and people from the past left a profound mark on our history and on our lives today."
English Heritage is custodian of more than 400 significant historic sites, including the battlefield believed to be where the Battle of Hastings was fought 950 years ago in East Sussex.
A new exhibition opening in the summer will tell the story of the battle and for the first time, visitors will be able to stand on the roof of Battle Abbey's Great Gatehouse - founded by William the Conqueror on the spot where King Harold died.
The 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, England's greatest playwright, will be marked at sites including his birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon and The Globe Theatre in London.
Remembering the Somme Offensive, which took place between 1 July November 1916, will be one of the key points in commemorations marking the centenary of World War One.
Plans have been announced for a number of events at home and in France, including a memorial service on the anniversary of the first day of the battle.


A woman has appeared in court charged with murder following the death of a 63-year-old woman in Port Glasgow.

Sadie Bale, 33, made no plea or declaration at Greenock Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody.
Police had been called to Glen Avenue in Port Glasgow just after midnight on Tuesday, where they found a seriously injured woman in a common close.
She died a short time later at Inverclyde Royal Hospital in Greenock.


A ceremony to bless the ground has taken place before the construction of a Gurkha memorial begins in Kent.

The statue of a Gurkha soldier will be erected on the site in Folkestone Garden of Remembrance in Sandgate Road later this year.
The Nepalese community in the town has raised more than Â£60,000 since 2009.
"It was a really long campaign and the people of Folkestone are really excited to have this unique Gurkha memorial statue," said organiser Dhan Gurung.
It is expected that the statue, by sculptor Rebecca Hawkins, will be unveiled in early October as one of the final acts of public commemoration of 200 years of Gurkha service to the UK.
The Royal Gurkha Rifles are based at Sir John Moore Barracks at Shorncliffe in Folkestone and many retired soldiers as well as friends and family have settled in the area.
"This is the right time to have this unveiling," said Mr Gurung.
"We are marking 200 years of sharing together between the British community and the Gurkha community."


Neanderthals and modern humans were interbreeding much earlier than was previously thought, scientists say.

Traces of human DNA found in a Neanderthal genome suggest that we started mixing with our now-extinct relatives 100,000 years ago.
Previously it had been thought that the two species first encountered each other when modern humans left Africa, about 60,000 years ago.
The research is published in the journal Nature.
Dr SergiÂ Castellano, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Germany, said: "It is significant for understanding the history of modern humans and Neanderthals."
The ancient remains of a female Neanderthal, found in a remote cave in the Altai Mountains in Siberia, are the source of these revelations about the sex lives of our ancestors.
A genetic analysis reveals that portions of human DNA lie within her genome, revealing an interspecies mingling that took place 100,000 years ago.
Earlier research suggested that humans started interbreeding with our heavy-browed, stocky relatives when they migrated out of Africa and began to spread around the world.
As they left the continent, they met - and mingled with - the Neanderthals, who lived across Europe and Asia.
Neanderthal genes from these encounters are found in humans today,  and recent studies have shown that these portions of DNA play an integral role in everything from our immune system to our propensity to diseases.
But the latest finding of a flow of genes in the opposite direction, from humans to Neanderthals, suggests such mating was happening thousands of years earlier.
It is not yet clear what impact these genes had on Neanderthals.
"The functional significance of this is unclear at the moment," said Dr Castellano.
However, the findings do shed more light on the history of human migration.
If early humans were having sex with Neanderthals 100,000 years ago, then they must have been doing so outside of Africa because our close relatives were not found there.
And this means that they had left Africa before the larger dispersal that took place at least 40,000 years later.
This adds to the idea that early forays out of the continent took place. Other recent evidence includes early human fossils found in Skhul and Qafzeh in Israel, and recent research that suggests people were living in China at least 80,000 years ago.
Commenting on the study Prof Chris Stringer, research leader in human origins, from the Natural History Museum in London, said: "I think that anywhere in southern Asia could theoretically have been the location of this early interbreeding, since we really don't know how widespread Neanderthals and early modern humans might have been in the regions between Arabia and China at this time."
He added: "At the moment we simply don't know how these matings happened and the possibilities range from relatively peaceful exchanges of partners, to one group raiding another and stealing females (which happens in chimps and some modern hunter-gatherers), through to adopting abandoned or orphaned babies.
"Eventually, geneticists should be able to show if the transfer of DNA in either direction was mainly via males, females, or about equal in proportion, but it will need a lot more data before that becomes possible."

Wales enjoyed a successful start to their Cyprus Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Hungary.

Helen Ward gave Wales the lead at Tasos Marko before a second half strike from Charlie Estcourt secured the win.
"It was a great performance and the result to go with it, which was really nice for the girls," manager Jayne Ludlow told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"We have a squad all playing their part and the girls are all enjoying their opportunities when they come."
Wales are in a group with the Hungarians, in addition to the Republic of Ireland and the Czech Republic.
Wales face Czech Republic on Friday, 3 March and Republic of Ireland on Monday, 6 March, with a finals day on Wednesday, 8 March.
Wales Women's' Squad: Claire Skinner (Cyncoed), Laura O'Sullivan (Cardiff City Ladies), Emma Gibbon (Eastern Suburbs FC), Loren Dykes (Bristol City Women), Hannah Miles (Cardiff City Ladies), Hayley Ladd (Bristol City Women), Sophie Ingle (Liverpool), Gemma Evans (Cardiff City Ladies), Shaunna Jenkins (Cardiff City Ladies), Jess Fishlock (Seattle Reign FC - on loan at Melbourne City), Angharad James (Notts County Ladies), Charlie Estcourt (Reading FC Women), Bronwen Thomas (Brighton & Hove Albion Women), Georgia Evans (Bristol City Women), Nadia Lawrence (Yeovil Town Ladies), Helen Ward (Yeovil Town Ladies), Natasha Harding (Liverpool), Rachel Rowe (Reading FC Women), Kayleigh Green (Chieti), Melissa Fletcher (Reading FC Women), Rhiannon Roberts (Doncaster Rovers Belles), Amina Vine (Bristol City Women), Emma Beynon (Swansea City Ladies).


The Grenfell Tower fire in London started in a fridge freezer, and outside cladding and insulation failed safety tests, police say.

The Metropolitan Police says it will consider manslaughter, health and safety and fire safety charges.
Seventy-nine people are feared dead after the blaze destroyed 151 homes in the Kensington tower block.
The government has ordered immediate testing of the Hotpoint fridge freezer that was involved.
Whirlpool, which owns Hotpoint, said: "We offer our most profound condolences to the victims, those who have lost loved ones, homes, and possessions, and to their friends and families."
Nine of those who died in the 14 June have been formally identified so far. Nine people remain in hospital, with three people still in critical care.
Police said the fire had not been started deliberately and the speed with which the fire spread was "unexpected".
127 flats
24  storeys
20  residential levels
4 mixed levels of community areas and residential flats
2016 refurbishment completed
Preliminary tests on the samples of insulation showed it burned soon after the test started, and more quickly than the cladding tiles.
However, they both failed the police's safety tests - which are similar to those being carried out by the UK government.
By Kevin Peachey, BBC News
Anyone who has a white Hotpoint fridge freezer model number FF175BP or graphite fridge freezer model number FF175BG should register their appliance with the manufacturer to receive any updates.
Generally, the model number is found on a bar code on a sticker behind the salad container in the fridge.
These models were discontinued in 2009, but 64,000 were sold between March 2006 and July 2009. It is not known how many are still in use.
Owners should ring 0800 316 3826 or visit the Hotpoint website.
Fires connected to fridge freezers and other electrical appliances are relatively common.
More general advice on registering an appliance, should there be a recall, and other safety tips are available online on charity Electrical Safety First's page.
Some 250 specialist investigators have been deployed to find out what happened.
All criminal charges are being considered "from manslaughter onwards".
Every company involved in the building and refurbishment of Grenfell Tower will also be looked at as part of the investigation.
Det Sup Fiona McCormack said police had been in the tower "from top to bottom", adding that next week a lift would be installed to the outside of the building.
But she did say the forensic search "may not be complete until the end of the year".
"There is a terrible reality that we may not find or identify everyone who died due to the intense heat."
Det Sup McCormack says the tests carried out on the cladding and insulation were "small scale" but added: "All I can say at the moment is they [the tiles and insulation] don't pass any safety tests."
The cladding, insulation, fixings and installation will be examined both individually and how they worked together.
"The investigation will be exhaustive," said Det Sup McCormack.
"As we learn more, the scope and scale may well grow. We will look at the refurbishment. We are looking at the panelling and the entire facade of the building."
She said she wanted to hear about anyone who was in the tower, whether or not they were meant to be in the building.
She said: "I do not want there to be any victims of this tragedy that we do not know about.
"Our priority is to understand who was in Grenfell Tower. We are not interested in people's reasons for being in Grenfell Tower."
She said she was concerned they did "not have the complete picture" and reassured people not to be nervous about contacting them.
"There may well be people who no one has contacted us about - who they know were in the building or have close links to Grenfell Tower.
"The Home Office has assured us that they are not interested in people's immigration status and we are not interested in looking at that.
"What we are interested in is making sure that we know who is missing and we take every possible step to establish if they are safe and well."
Whirlpool said it was working with the authorities to obtain access to the appliance so that it could assist with the ongoing investigations.


American basketball star LeBron James has signed a lifetime deal with the world's biggest sporting goods firm, Nike.

Mr James, who turns 31 later this month, has been with Nike since 2003 when he signed a $90m (Â£59.7m) contract with the firm.
The sports star's latest deal is believed to be the first lifetime contract ever signed by Nike.
No financial terms around the deal have been released so far.
However, early reports suggested it would be more than the $300m 10-year contract Nike signed with basketball star Kevin Durant - an Oklahoma City Thunder player.
Mr James is a four-time National Basketball Association (NBA) most-valuable player and has won two Olympic gold medals. He played for the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 before moving to Miami Heat for some four years. In July 2014 he returned to the Cavaliers.
Nike said it had agreed to a lifetime relationship with Mr James "that provides significant value to our business, brand and shareholders."
"We have already built a strong LeBron business over the past 12 years, and we see the potential for this to continue to grow throughout his playing career and beyond," the sporting giant said.
Speaking to reporters on Monday after the deal had been announced, Mr James said, "I'm very humble, man."
"It's been an unbelievable time for myself and my family, and I'm just grateful that Nike and [Nike founder] Phil Knight, and everyone over there, just believed in a skinny old, skinny 18-year-old kid from Akron, Ohio, and I'm happy to be a part of such a great company," he said.
In addition to playing professional basketball, Mr James has his own shoe line with Nike as well as a production company. He also has deals with McDonalds, Coca-Cola and Samsung among other companies.


Plans to regenerate a former iron and steelworks site in Wrexham have been given the go-ahead by the council.

Brymbo Heritage Group (BHG) plans to re-use nine old buildings, creating a heritage centre, learning facilities, business units, shops and apartments as well as open spaces.
Wrexham council's executive board backed the proposals on Tuesday.
Environmental and engineering surveys, detailed design work and community engagement can now get underway.
The sprawling complex employed about 2,500 people at its peak but it closed in 1990 after almost 200 years.
The project has already received funding and support from a number of organisations including the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Prince's Trust.
Councillor Hugh Jones, lead member for communities and partnerships, said: "The potential for this scheme to help revitalise the area really can't be underestimated."


Three men involved in a brawl with stadium stewards have been banned from football grounds for three years.

Trouble flared at Carlisle United's Brunton Park on 15 October last year as the Cumbrians hosted Hartlepool United.
Luke Hodgson, 18, Stephen Neaves, 25, and Carl Swan, 24, all of Carlisle, pleaded guilty to football-related public order offences.
Malcolm Turner, 56 and also of Carlisle, was spared a ban by city magistrates despite throwing a punch.
He also admitted the charge but was fined £261 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge after mitigating factors were taken into consideration.
Hodgson, Neaves and Swan were ordered to pay £170 costs and also sentenced to a mix of community orders and curfews.


A 78-year-old man has died after being struck by a car in the east end of Glasgow.

The collision took place at 20:45 on Friday on the Gallowgate at its junction with Abercromby Street. The car involved was a BMW 3 series.
The man was taken to hospital but died later. The road was closed for five hours to allow for investigation work.
Police have appealed for any witnesses to contact officers at Glasgow Divisional Road Policing Unit on 101.


The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in its fight with Rangers over the club's use of Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs).

BBC Scotland has collated reaction from those within Scottish football to Wednesday's ruling.
"The board of the Scottish FA notes the judgment of the Supreme Court and wishes to clarify the implications of this final legal decision from a football regulatory perspective.
"In light of the Inner House of the Court of Session decision, the board of the Scottish FA sought external senior counsel opinion to ensure a robust and independent consideration of all implications of today's judgement.
"The board received written advice from Senior Counsel, amplified when the QC attended a full meeting of the board to discuss his conclusions.
"Specifically, Senior Counsel was asked to anticipate whether a determination in favour of HMRC, as announced today, could imply that there had been a breach of the Scottish FA's Disciplinary Rules as they applied at the time of the EBT payments.
"The clear opinion of Senior Counsel is that there is a very limited chance of the Scottish FA succeeding in relation to any complaint regarding this matter and that, even if successful, any sanctions available to a Judicial Panel would also be limited in their scope.
"Accordingly, having had time to consider the opinion from Senior Counsel, and having examined the judgment of the UK Supreme Court, the board has determined that no further disciplinary action should be taken by the Scottish FA at this time."
"The decision runs counter to the legal advice which was consistently provided to Rangers Football Club, that on the basis of the law and legal precedent at the time, the contributions made to the trust were not earnings and should not be taxed as such.
"It should be emphasised that there have been no allegations made by HMRC or any of the courts that the club was involved in tax evasion, which is a criminal offence.
"The decision will be greeted with dismay by the ordinary creditors of the club, many of which are small businesses, who will now receive a much lower distribution in the liquidation of the club, which occurred during the ownership of Craig Whyte, than may otherwise have been the case."
"The board of the SPFL notes today's judgement of the Supreme Court. We will now take time to examine the judgement in detail and to consider any implications for the SPFL."
"We note today's decision by the Supreme Court. Celtic's position on this issue has been consistent - that this has always been a matter for the courts of law and also the Scottish football authorities, whose rules are intended to uphold sporting integrity.
"In 2013, we expressed surprise - shared by many observers and supporters of the game - over the findings of the SPL Commission that no competitive or sporting advantage had resulted. Today's decision only re-affirms that view.
"We are sure now that the footballing authorities in Scotland will wish to review this matter. Celtic awaits the outcome of their review."


The German Pirate Party saw a surge in support in Berlin's recent state elections, with all 15 of its candidates winning seats in the state parliament.

The party's success comes amid growing support for the movement in other countries, including Australia, Russia, Tunisia and Mexico.
Initially pirate parties made the news by bringing the subject of digital file-sharing to public attention, but more recently they have scored notable election successes.
This has been achieved in part through their exceptional internet and social media skills, and clever branding; one party has even set up its own Wikileaks-like whistleblowing site.
Since the first pirate party was founded in Sweden in January 2006, the number worldwide has increased to more than 60.
BBC Monitoring charts the progress of the movement through public pronouncements and media commentary:
The Swedish Pirate Party was formed as an offshoot of the hugely popular electronic file-sharing Swedish Pirate Bay website, which the Los Angeles Times has described as "the most visible member of a burgeoning international anti-copyright or pro-piracy movement".
The party was formed to fight for "digital rights" including freedom of information, the abolition of patents, copyright reform and privacy protection.
In 2009 four Pirate Bay defendants received prison sentences and heavy fines for damages relating to copyright violations.
The resultant publicity led to a huge growth in party membership, which quickly rose to around 18,000, and the party won two seats in the June 2009 European Parliament elections.
"We gained political credibility," said Ric Falkvinge, the Swedish party's founder and leader.
Following the Swedish Pirate Party's surge in membership, Pirate Parties International (PPI) was formally established in Belgium in April 2010, aiming to facilitate co-operation between pirate parties worldwide.
Currently the PPI has 26 party members and five observer members across four continents.
Pirate party members are overwhelmingly young and IT literate; in the UK three out of eight Pirate Party candidates in the 2010 general election were aged just 19 years old - the oldest was 41.
CNN's Fareed Zakaria recently described typical members as "tech-savvy youngsters who wear hooded sweatshirts, throw cool parties and play up their group's name with pirate boats".
They are also skilled internet users and adept at utilising social media.
The Czech Pirate Party is active on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, where the party's page has over 23,000 'likes'.
The Washington Post's Dominic Basulto has said that "a single tweet from a [pirate] party leader has the ability to activate youthful voters."
European politics blog Charlemagne's notebook, published in The Economist, suggests that the German Pirate Party's success and popularity may be down to its "inspired" name and image, a "brilliant piece of political branding," which often involves supporters dressing up in traditional pirate garb, attracting much media attention.
Members' political backgrounds, if any, can be difficult to assess.
Germany's Pirate Party leader Sebastian Nerz told a Berlin press conference this month: "We are not a party that promotes free copying of information above all else. We are a socio-liberal party for basic rights.
"We want to fundamentally change the style of politics".
Stefan Bornost, editor of the far-left German magazine Marx21 describes members of the German party as coming from "all sorts of political backgrounds, including the youth organizations of centre-right parties".
In December 2010 the PPI responded to international calls to close down the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks by publishing a joint resolution on its website, which reaffirmed its member parties' commitment to WikiLeaks and similar sites.
The PPI also arranged to host WikiLeaks on a resilient web-mirror created by the pirate parties themselves.
Former PPI co-chairman Gregory Engels described the situation as "a fight for fundamental freedoms on the internet. Pirates will not accept governmental attempts to restrict access to free press and constrain freedom of speech".
Later the same month the Czech Pirate Party launched its own Czech-focused whistleblowing website, PirateLeaks, which aims to "do away with excess secrecy in the administration and to open up its workings - including their financing - to public scrutiny."
Earlier this month Serbia's Pirate Party ran a training workshop for users of BalkanLeaks, as part of an agenda of educating people on the effective and anonymous use of whistleblowing sites.
The party later tweeted from its Twitter account that the workshop was "a smash".
US Public Radio International has described Germany's Pirate Party as a "political force of 20-somethings" whose membership base consists of "male software engineers", but that "the Pirates have more than geek appeal".
This became clear in the party's spectacular poll success in the September 2011 Berlin state parliament elections.
Not only were all 15 of its candidates - the youngest aged 19 years old - elected, but with almost nine-per-cent of the votes the party easily outstripped the long-established Free Democratic Party, a member of Angela Merkel's government coalition, which gained only 1.8 per cent.
According to Stefan Bornost several factors contributed to the party's success in Berlin.
Their campaign "of greater transparency and democracy" and with "a strong anti-privatisation stance and radical demands on social questions" matched the "anti-system mood" prevailing in the "very poor city" with its well-known "alternative" culture base.
The PPI website lists 61 existing pirate parties, and further expansion seems assured based on past performances.
Whether the parties can move easily into mainstream politics is less clear.
Fareed Zakaria has noted that pirate parties are "one more manifestation of the despair of the average citizen with government and large institutions more generally", a theme which could be exploited to create further political growth.
Stefan Bornost believes that the German Pirate Party "must work out their contradictions," before it can move forward.  "Concern about web freedom and copyright issues was the political glue that has held the group together," Bornost said, with the implication that something more may be required in future.

The Syrian government has said three of its soldiers have been killed in a US-led coalition air strike, but the coalition has denied responsibility.

The foreign ministry said jets fired missiles at an army camp in Deir al-Zour province, which is largely controlled by Islamic State (IS).
The ministry condemned what it called an act of "flagrant aggression".
However, a coalition spokesman insisted that its forces had carried out no strikes in the area near the camp.
Responding to a later report that coalition air strikes may have killed up to 26 civilians in a separate strike in al-Hawl in northern Syria, a spokesman said allegations were taken very "seriously", adding that if the information was deemed "credible", an investigation would be launched and the results released publicly.
The coalition has been targeting IS militants in Syria since September 2014, and does not co-ordinate its raids with the authorities in Damascus.
Russia has also been bombing IS and other opponents of President Bashar al-Assad since late September.

The Syrian foreign ministry said four coalition warplanes fired nine missiles at the camp in Deir al-Zour province on Sunday evening, killing three soldiers and wounding 13 others.
Three armoured vehicles, four military vehicles, heavy machine-guns and an arms and ammunition depot were destroyed, it added.
The ministry did not say which camp was hit, but the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights earlier reported that coalition jets had bombed part of the Saeqa camp, near the town of Ayyash in northern Deir al-Zour.
The UK-based monitoring group put the death toll at four.
"The Syrian Arab Republic strongly condemns this flagrant aggression by the US-led coalition forces, which blatantly violates the objectives of the UN Charter," the foreign ministry warned.
The ministry called on the UN Security Council to "take urgent measures to prevent such aggressions from occurring again".
It added that such "aggression hinders the efforts to fight terrorism, and proves that the US-led coalition lacks seriousness and credibility to effectively fight terrorism".
However, coalition spokesman Col Steve Warren denied it was responsible.
"We've seen those Syrian reports but we did not conduct any strikes in that part of Deir al-Zour yesterday. So we see no evidence," he told the AFP news agency.
Col Warren said the only strikes in Deir al-Zour targeted a wellhead at an oil field 55km (34 miles) away from the area where the soldiers were reportedly killed.
"There were no human beings in the area that we struck yesterday," he added.
One unnamed US military source blamed Russia for the air strike.
However, Pentagon spokesman Capt Jeff Davis later said that although Russia did fly long-range bomber missions into Syria on Sunday, "we have not been able to correlate one to the other".
IS controls most of Deir al-Zour province, including almost all of its capital.
The province links the group's headquarters in Raqqa with territory controlled by the group in western Iraq, and its oilfields are also a major source of revenue for IS.
If coalition jets did hit the Syrian army camp - reported to be close to ground held by IS - it would be the first time such a thing is known to have happened since the US began air strikes in Syria, says the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut.
The coalition has been stepping up its attacks in recent weeks on IS positions and oil installations in northern and eastern Syria. Broadening the scope brings with it a risk that unintended targets might be hit, our correspondent adds.
Last week, the UK decided to participate in the air strikes in Syria, extending its existing bombing campaign against IS in Iraq.


Step through the stage door of the National Theatre on London's South Bank and you will find yourself in a corridor with a bright yellow floor.

"We call it the 'yellow brick road'," said George Tunnicliffe, the theatre's head of IT operations, who could be considered the wizard at the heart of this venerable institution.
But Mr Tunnicliffe has little else in common with the man behind the curtains in Oz, who was all show and no substance. He leaves the showboating to the actors, producers, directors, stage hands and support staff who put on about 30 different productions a year.
"We want those guys to work without having to think about cyber-security and things like that, their job is to put on an awesome production," he said during a backstage tour of the theatre.
Mr Tunnicliffe organises its defences against not only the kind of cyber-attacks faced by other companies, but theatre-specific ones like touts trying to grab tickets to popular shows.
"We do see a lot of attacks and they are getting more sophisticated," he said.
At the heart of the security stance is a much greater knowledge of who is doing what on the theatre's network - no matter where they are.
"We've spent a lot of time understanding how everyone works," he said. "We have a monitoring board in the IT office so we can see minute-by-minute what's going on and where issues are happening."
That's key, he said, because it can expose ongoing attacks and the reconnaissance many hackers carry out before they strike.
"Every device has information on it that could be useful to an attacker," said Mr Tunnicliffe.
"With drive-by and phishing attacks that's what people are looking to do - build up a picture of an organisation," he said. "Especially with something like whaling and the social engineering element of that."
Whaling is a very tightly-focused form of phishing which plays on a close knowledge of an organisation's internal structure to forge emails from executives that make finance staff speed up the payment of a fictitious invoice or bill.
Millions of pounds has been lost by organisations that have fallen victim to that kind of scam.
The monitoring board helps spot when data is going astray or a machine is visiting a site with a reputation for being involved in a scam.
Complementing this is work to segment internal systems so staff working for different bits of the theatre only see a small part of the whole organisation.
That helps with some of the unique challenges faced by an organisation like the theatre which, although it has its headquarters in London, has a mandated role to bring art and drama to as wide an audience as possible.
It has units staging productions around the UK and the world - War Horse is currently on tour in China. It also runs workshops for schools and, via its Connections programme, lets drama groups for younger people enjoy a taste of professional theatre.
During an average year it stages 3,000 performances seen by a total audience of about 2.5 million people - 700,000 of whom see them live.
Productions work to a six-week rehearsal and staging schedule which means there is a constant flow of temporary staff through the building.
"Organisations that do have a high turnover of staff usually have a high risk of insider threat," said Neil Thacker from security firm Forcepoint, which helps the theatre secure its digital borders. "That can be because they are learning new systems and making mistakes and data is lost accidentally."
The strict divisions among staff who work together limits the information that could be leaked and helps investigate what caused data to go astray, said Mr Thacker. That can be critical to help understand the nature of a threat - whether it was malicious or a mistake.
"We know where data is and then, if it leaves, we know where it has gone," said Mr Tunnicliffe.
Alongside this goes an active programme of testing that tries to prepare staff for the bad day when disaster strikes. It is inevitable that it will, he said, because no defence is ever going to be 100% proof against the barrage of threats it, and every other organisation, is hit with every day.
"We have spent a lot of time creating disaster recovery scenarios," he said. "We've practiced viruses taking down the network, ransomware outbreaks and things like that."
Carrying out the drills means that staff should be able to react more quickly and effectively when they need to, said Mr Tunnicliffe.
"We repeat these scenarios and test them at different points in time," he said.
For many of the most likely security disasters, the NT has created tools that can quickly fix a problem, such as a till in a restaurant failing, or that can diagnose and repair a key part of the theatre's infrastructure.
"We've built push button stuff so the engineers do not have to think about what to do when they need to solve a problem," he said. "We have a good sense of where our kit is and what it is linked to, so if something happens we know what is going to be affected."
The ideal is when the directors, actors and support staff can get on with what they do without having to be an expert on the intricacies of cyber-security or changing practices distilled over decades.
It is a situation the National Theatre is steadily working towards, said Mr Tunnicliffe.
"They are here to do the art and I am here to make it safe," he said.

Asian shares traded mostly higher for a second day after Wednesday's strong rally across the region.

Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.3% to close at 16,960.16, extending the previous day's jump of more than 4%.
Electronics giant Toshiba finished 7.1% up on reports it had secured a further 250bn yen ($2.2bn; Â£1.6bn) in bank loans for its restructuring efforts.
The Japanese company is in the process of a major overhaul following a massive accounting scandal.
In China, the mainland Shanghai Composite index closed up 0.35% at 2,859.76, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng was one of the only indexes in the region that finished the day lower, down 0.3% at 19,941.76.
In Australia, the benchmark ASX/200 index finished the session up 1.2% at 5,081.10.
Commodity firms saw strong gains for a second day, with Rio Tinto and Fortescue rising 2.8% and 6.7% respectively.
Investors reacted positively to the settlement between Brazil and Samarco over the 2015 mudslide, which was caused when a mine breached a dam. The mudslide killed 19 people and caused widespread environmental damage.
Samarco is partly owned by Anglo-Australian mining giant BHP Billiton, which saw its shares rise 3.6%.
In South Korea, the Kospi index closed up 0.5% at 1,958.17.
After reporting strong car sales figures earlier in the week for the country's car makers in the US, Wednesday saw equally strong February data coming in for the domestic market.
The country's top car makers, Hyundai, Kia and Ssangyong, all saw gains throughout the day.


Two Japanese climbers who scaled the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps have been found dead on the mountain, according to the Japanese foreign ministry.

A spokesman said both men were in their 60s, but gave no further details.
The men reportedly ran into bad weather as they were coming down the mountain over the weekend.
Last week, the remains of two Japanese climbers who disappeared 45 years ago were found on the Matterhorn, one of Europe's highest mountains.
DNA tests helped identify those remains - the latest to have been discovered with the melting of ice on the mountain.
The 4,478m (14,700ft) Matterhorn has a distinctive pyramid-shaped peak, making it one of the world's most recognisable mountains.
Hundreds of people have died trying to reach the top.


Part-time spinner Dean Elgar took 4-22 as South Africa bowled out India for 201 in Mohali, on the opening day of the four-Test series.

The slow left-armer, who had managed only six wickets in his previous 17 Tests, helped dismiss India after tea despite the home side winning the toss.
Murali Vijay top-scored with 75, while leg-spinner Imran Tahir claimed 2-23.
South Africa struggled to 28-2 in the 20 overs possible before the close, with opener Elgar unbeaten on 13.
Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, opening the bowling, trapped Stiaan van Zyl lbw for five before Faf du Plessis - also playing no shot - was bowled by Ravindra Jadeja.
Nine of the 12 wickets in the day fell to spin, with Vijay - lbw attempting to sweep Simon Harmer - part of a collapse from 102-3.
"This is not a good Test pitch wicket though it's a result-oriented one," said Elgar. "We sort of expected it to play like that but we didn't expect it to crumble so early.
"It was right up there with the hardest ever Test cricket I've played. Let's hope that it backfires [on India] and turns out to be a great victory for us."
India's batting coach Sanjay Bangar responded: "It's a very challenging wicket where run-making is not easy.
"It says 201 runs on the scoreboard but it's worth far more. But I think runs can be made on this wicket as Vijay showed. It's going to be a test of patience both for batsmen and bowlers."
This Test is followed by matches in Bangalore, Nagpur and Delhi.


Macedonia's government has been accused of operating an illegal wire-tapping programme targeting 20,000 people, including opposition politicians.

Zoran Zaev, head of the opposition Social Democrats, said Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski had also spied on journalists and religious leaders.
Mr Gruevski has accused Mr Zaev of trying to blackmail him.
Macedonia is a candidate for EU and Nato membership. It went to the brink of civil war in 2001.
The violence was halted by a power-sharing agreement between the government and ethnic Albanian rebels. The deal saw many of the rebels enter a governing coalition.
The landlocked Balkan country is home to some two million people, about a quarter of whom are ethnic Albanians.
Addressing reporters on Monday, Mr Zaev said the government's surveillance programme had also targeted ethnic Albanian politicians.
He played brief recordings of what he said were excerpts from conversations that had been recorded illegally.
Mr Zaev said his party was seeking the prosecution of senior officials, including Saso Mijalkov, the interior ministry's intelligence chief.
The opposition leader has been saying for months that he would publish sensitive information implicating the Gruevski government.
The PM has in turn accused Mr Zaev of trying to blackmail him into holding an early election.
In late January, the police charged Mr Zaev with trying to topple the government with the aid of a foreign intelligence agency. Mr Zaev has denied the charges.


A Welsh Premier League footballer has been banned for tweets he posted after the trial of ex-England international Adam Johnson.

Airbus UK Broughton's Ryan Wade, 28, was banned for three "approved competition" matches from 21 April.
A hearing on 5 April found he "brought the game of association football or the association into disrepute".
Johnson, 28, was jailed for six years for grooming and sexual activity with a girl aged 15.
The former Sunderland player has lodged an appeal against his sentence.
BBC Wales understands the nature of the tweets was deemed offensive and were sympathetic towards Johnson.
The Welsh Premier League said the three-man panel sat at the headquarters of the Football Association of Wales.
Wade has been suspended from all football-related activity and fined Â£150, as well as a Â£50 contribution towards costs.
The club, based in Broughton, Flintshire, said in a statement: "The club carried out our own investigation and disciplinary process at the time and that has now concluded."
Wade signed for Airbus almost four years ago and has made 28 appearances this season, scoring four times.


An allegation about ex-PM Edward Heath was not the reason why a case against a brothel keeper in the 1990s was halted, the case's prosecutor has said.

In a letter to The Times, Nigel Seed QC said it was a lack of evidence that stopped the case against Myra Forde.
He said she intended to allege that she had provided rent boys to Sir Edward, but she has denied this was her plan.
Gloucestershire and Thames Valley forces are the latest to say they have received information about Sir Edward.
Thames Valley Police said the information it is investigating was received following media coverage about the historical allegations made against Sir Edward.
Gloucestershire Constabulary said the claim they received has been referred to Operation Hydrant, which is overseeing police inquiries into historical child sexual abuse.
The Metropolitan, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Jersey and Kent forces are conducting separate inquiries into the late MP.
Forde's ex-lawyer, Richard Griffiths, said on Wednesday that she did not state that Sir Edward was a client, nor did she threaten to expose him if the prosecution against her was continued.
On Monday, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said it would look at whether a case was dropped by Wiltshire Police when a person involved made claims against Sir Edward.
Mr Seed, who now sits as a judge, told the newspaper there was a large number of reporters at court because Forde had let it be known that she would make the claims against Sir Edward, should the case proceed.
He said two of the three prosecution witnesses failed to attend court and the third refused to leave her cell to give evidence, which prompted the decision to drop the case.
"The decision for the case to proceed no further was mine and was based on the lack of evidence and had nothing whatsoever to do with any potential allegations against Edward Heath," Mr Seed said.
Forde was later convicted of controlling prostitutes after a successful prosecution and jailed for six years.
She was prosecuted and jailed again 14 years later for inciting prostitution.
Sir Edward, who was Conservative prime minister from 1970 to 1974, died aged 89 in 2005 at his home in Salisbury.


Manchester suicide attacker Salman Abedi was not known to the government's Prevent scheme, Greater Manchester Police have said.

Chief constable Ian Hopkins told BBC Radio Manchester the bomber was arrested for minor offences in 2012.
Prevent aims to deradicalise young people or prevent others from being radicalised.
MI5 has launched an inquiry into how it dealt with warnings from the public about Abedi.
Two people who knew Abedi while he was a college student made separate calls to an anti-terrorism hotline to warn police about his extremist views.
Mr Hopkins said: "At this stage I have no other information other than what is on our system about his theft, receiving stolen goods, minor assault... Five years ago, so he would have been 16/17."
"Abedi was not known to the Prevent programme, was not on any sort of Prevent agenda," he said.
He added the force would continue to check previous records but said: "Obviously I am not privy to what the security service did or didn't know about that individual at this time."
Over the next three days, military personnel deployed under Operation Temperer will be stood down after the UK terror threat level was downgraded to severe.
British troops who have been guarding key locations including Buckingham Palace in the days after the attack will be removed.
Meanwhile, Manchester Victoria railway station reopened on Tuesday more than a week after the attack at the city's arena.
The station, attached to Manchester Arena, was shut after the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert, which left 22 people dead and dozens injured.
Staff were visibly upset when they returned to work, with 15 of them among those first on the scene. They were joined by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Transport Secretary Chris Grayling to lay wreaths.
Mr Burnham told the BBC: "People went above and beyond what you would expect. Those who rushed into the danger were station staff.
"In these moments, you do see the best of people, you see the best of our public services and it is quite awe-inspiring to hear that."
By Michelle Adamson, BBC Manchester reporter at Victoria station
There is a sombre atmosphere among commuters as Victoria station reopens.
The heartache is still raw following the Arena attack and some commuters are in tears as they attempt to get back to their normal routines.
People have been emotional but what unites them all is a steely defiance to carry on. Commuter Hannah Khan, 32, said: "I just want to hold my hands out and hug everyone."
Black cab driver George Berry, 60, from Bury, is back on the taxi rank at Victoria Station.
He said he had "mixed feelings but I'm glad to be back at work".
He said the lives of those not directly affected by the attacks would be returning to normal.
"They won't forget, but you have to make a living."


Video footage has emerged of a key suspect police want to question in connection with the deadly bomb blast in the Thai capital, Bangkok.

The footage, from a CCTV camera, shows a man in a yellow shirt leaving a backpack in the Erawan Hindu shrine.
At least 20 people died in Monday's blast, about half of them foreigners, and more than 120 were injured.
In a separate attack on Tuesday, an explosive device was thrown at a pier in Bangkok, but no-one was hurt.
Nationals from China, Hong Kong, the UK, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore are among the foreigners killed in the attack.

Thai shares fall sharply
Still images of the suspect had already been released.
In the new footage, he is shown carefully and deliberately removing his backpack inside the shrine, getting up without it and immediately leaving the scene.
The spot where he was sitting is precisely where the bomb went off a few minutes later, says the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok.
"There is a suspect... we are looking for this guy," Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters.
Authorities were "quite close" to identifying the suspect, Thai government spokesman Maj Gen Weerachon Sukhontapatipak told the BBC, but other leads were also being pursued.
He said no motive was being ruled out, but that the bomber did not appear to be Thai and the character of the bombing was "quite different" from previous bombings by southern Thai insurgents.
He said security at transport hubs and tourist sites was being beefed up.
The bomb was detonated at about 19:00 local time (12:00 GMT) on Monday when the shrine, and the nearby Ratchaprasong junction, were crowded.
Mr Prayuth called it the "worst ever attack" on Thailand.
"There have been minor bombs or just noise, but this time they aim for innocent lives. They want to destroy our economy, our tourism."
In Tuesday's incident, a device was reportedly thrown at the busy Sathorn pier in Bangkok. It landed in water where it exploded harmlessly, but police said it could have caused many injuries.
Maj Gen Weerachon said there were similarities between Monday's deadly blast and the explosion on Tuesday, but the authorities had not established links between the two.
"Both were TNT bombs," he told reporters. "There's a pattern, but we have not yet found links."
Monday's bomb was clearly placed to cause maximum casualties, says our correspondent in Bangkok.
In currency trading, the Thai baht fell to its lowest level in six years over concerns about the impact on tourism.
There are suggestions this could be related to the Muslim separatist conflict in southern Thailand, but the political violence has been limited to the three southern provinces - never the capital.
Others have mentioned the Muslim Uighur minority in China. They are unhappy that Thailand deported Uighur refugees back to China, where the minority complain of persecution, and might have wanted to punish the Thai state, the thinking goes. But we don't know enough at this point to support this theory.
However, international terror networks usually claim responsibility quickly after the incident, which hasn't happened in this instance so far.
One thing is clear - this is a failure of the government's intelligence work.

National police chief Somyot Poompummuang described the device as a 3kg (6.6lb) pipe bomb - an improvised device where explosive material is put in a sealed cavity to maximise the explosive impact.
"The impact was so strong it sucked us forward and then pushed us back," one witness, Leify Porter, from Australia told the BBC.
She said she had seen "very graphic" scenes at the site of the explosion.
Erawan shrine is dedicated to the Hindu god Brahma, but is also visited by thousands of Buddhists each day.
It sits between a five-star hotel and a popular shopping centre on the Ratchaprasong intersection, which has been the centre of political demonstrations in recent years.
Bangkok has seen a decade of sometimes violent rivalry between political factions.
The military took over the country in May last year, removing an elected government following months of unrest. The capital has been relatively calm since then.


Displays by the last two airworthy Lancaster bombers from World War Two have been cancelled after one suffered engine problems.

A Canadian Lancaster, currently on a UK tour, performed an engine shutdown during a flight in County Durham.
Its owners said it landed safely at Durham Tees Valley airport following the "precautionary" shutdown.
It had been due to fly to Bournemouth to take part in weekend displays with an RAF Lancaster bomber.
An airport spokesman said the plane had experienced an "issue" with one of its engines as it was approaching the runway at the end of a 30-minute demonstration flight for invited guests.
"The aircraft landed safely and nobody was injured and it taxied to stand.
"The Lancaster has been returned to the hangar and engineers are conducting tests to determine the cause of the fault," he added.
The last remaining flying Lancasters - owned by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum - were due to fly at the Bournemouth Air Festival as well as the Shoreham Air Show and the Gedling Show in Nottinghamshire, as part of a two-month UK tour by the Canadian aircraft.
The aircraft are based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire for the duration of the visit.
There were over 7,000 of the type of aircraft produced between 1941 and 1946.
A statement from Bournemouth Air Festival said: "We share the disappointment of all the Canadian Lancaster fans but we understand that she is over 70 years old and these sort of things can and do happen.
"We hope she's airworthy again soon."
An airworthy Merlin engine is being shipped from the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre near Skegness and this will be fitted over the weekend.


A "small incendiary device" has "ignited" at a shopping centre, causing it to be evacuated, police have said.

The "deliberately planted" device was found in a bin at Preston's Fishergate Shopping Centre at about 09:10 GMT.
Lancashire Police said an evacuation was ordered "as a precaution" because the incendiary had "gone off, causing very minor damage and no injuries".
Ch Supt James Lee said the centre remained closed due to concerns there may be more devices.
He said the incendiary was found by a member of the public in the men's toilets.
"Something happened to it to cause a very small fire, but it was put out immediately," he said.
An Army bomb disposal unit has gone to the centre to aid investigations.


Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock says Wales defender Jazz Richards' rehabilitation from injury has been 'disappointing.'

Richards has not played since the 2-0 defeat by Derby County on 27 September, but will return to training before the Boxing Day trip to Brentford.
Warnock says Richards has taken longer than expected to return.
"I've had lads with broken legs recover quicker than him," he told BBC Wales Sport. "It has been difficult."
Warnock, who says he is looking to sign four players in the January transfer window, says Richards has endured a tough time.
"Jazz Richards is actually training tomorrow and hopefully he finishes training as well," he said.
"I know he will start it and then we will see what happens.
"It has been a difficult period for everyone concerned with Jazz.
"First of all, it would be nice to see him run.
"He hasn't done any training yet, so I can't be happy."
Warnock says he had hoped to use Richards as he looks to move Cardiff clear of the Championship relegation zone.
"He had a knee problem, then a calf problem and then another calf problem, so I don't know what is around the corner," he added.
"It is disappointing really, because I counted on him and it has left us very short in the defensive situation and I have to look elsewhere to make sure I have the numbers.
"I like Jazz, I have always liked Jazz, but unfortunately he has not been much use to me. I am sure he is disappointed himself."
Warnock also explained that he does not expect to make any attempt to sign 37-year-old Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni.
Warnock has previously worked with Speroni when he was Eagles boss and has hinted that he could look to bring a goalkeeper to the Cardiff City Stadium in the January transfer window.
Cardiff sold captain David Marshall in the summer and replacement Ben Amos made a costly mistake in the 4-3 defeat by Barnsley.
But Warnock does not expect Speroni to leave Selhurst Park before he retires.
"Julian is a smashing lad, a really good goalkeeper, but he will be at Crystal Palace the rest of his career," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"He won't leave there. But there will be other names in the next few weeks."


The oil and gas producer BG Group has become the first to explain in detail how it intends to make its offshore platforms more efficient.

Thousands of jobs have been lost by operators and supply chain firms over recent months as companies try to re-inject life into the mature North Sea basin.
Significantly reducing "dead time" on installations and empowering the offshore workforce to carry out its own logistics and planning are two key strategies by BG.
A leading offshore union has welcomed the approach, and urged others to follow the same efficiency model rather than simply slashing jobs.
The company is about to embark on the second phase of a Â£317m investment in its Lomond and Everest platforms, 140 miles east of Aberdeen.
The North Everest gas platform - which began producing in the early 1990s - has already reached the end of its predicted life.
It exports up to 135m cubic feet of gas per day and acts as a hub for CATS (Central Area Transmission System), a 250-mile pipeline to a processing terminal in Teesside.
A flotel capable of providing accommodation for 300 people has been positioned alongside the installation, and a shut-down of the production facility will begin within weeks.
BG says investment in the massive overhaul - to extend life by a decade - will only be profitable if it can achieve greater efficiency.
Engineer Jessica Hallahan said: "If we focus on things like materials management and planning and scheduling then we should start to get better efficiency.
"We'll be able to turn up to the job, we'll know what we are going to do, we'll have all the right kit, we'll have the right people on board and we'll be able to get on with the job rather than being stuck."
The normal practice until now has been for the planning and scheduling of maintenance work to be carried out by logistics coordinators - often highly paid - who are based onshore.
A big frustration among workers offshore was that key components for the job were missed leaving them unable to carry out the work.
Ms Hallahan adds: "There can definitely be a lot of dead time so if it's a routine job we should be able to get on with it ourselves but for jobs that we need vendors for, or specialist material, sometimes that can take quite a lot longer.
"Having that empowerment offshore should make it much easier for us to get on with things."
During a visit to the North Everest platform it becomes clear the ravages of the North Sea have taken their toll.
Many miles of pipework are caked in thick red rust and much of this is to be removed or replaced.
With ever rising operating costs and the fall in the oil price, drastic options were seriously considered for Lomond and Everest before the investment was sanctioned.
BG Group's vice president of operated assets, Steven Cox, said: "If we didn't do this work on this platform and reduce our cost base then this platform would be looking to decommission in the next five years, at most.
"We are really putting this flotel campaign in place to make sure the platform is safe to operate. The efficiencies are really to make sure this platform remains economic for as long as possible.
"The case for change is very apparent and this is not just about a low oil environment, this is about these platforms no longer making as much money as they did at the height of their production."
There has been a steady flow of announcements about job losses within the industry since the oil price began to fall.
It is thought thousands of staff and contractor posts have already been lost with many more expected to go.
Jake Molloy, from the offshore branch of the RMT union, said: "It is refreshing to hear BG talk about reducing costs by tackling efficiency. I hear complaints from people who go offshore and sit around for two weeks because the kit isn't around.
"There are a lot of savings to be made by what BG is doing and that is engaging with the workforce.
"You don't deliver efficiency by just cutting jobs."
Inevitably the changes at BG Group do result in job losses. The company says the total is less than 100, although less reliance on contractors will also have an impact.


North Korea says it has successfully conducted its third nuclear test, in a statement three hours after seismic activity was detected at its test site.

State-run news agency KCNA said the test "was carried out at a high level in a safe and perfect manner using a miniaturised and lighter nuclear device".
The move elicited condemnation from several countries and leaders, including the US and China.
The secretary-general condemns the underground nuclear weapon test conducted by (North Korea) today. It is a clear and grave violation of the relevant Security Council resolutions.
It is deplorable that Pyongyang defied the strong and unequivocal call from the international community to refrain from any further provocative measures.
The secretary-general is gravely concerned about the negative impact of this deeply destabilising act on regional stability as well as the global efforts for nuclear non-proliferation.
This is a highly provocative act that, following its 12 December ballistic missile launch, undermines regional stability, violates North Korea's obligations under numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions, contravenes its commitments under the 19 September 2005 Joint Statement of the Six-Party Talks, and increases the risk of proliferation.
The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants further swift and credible action by the international community. The United States will also continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselves and our allies.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea [North Korea], heedless of widespread international opposition, has again carried out a nuclear test, to which the Chinese government expresses its firm opposition.
It is China's firm stance to realise non-nuclearisation for the Korean peninsula and prevent nuclear proliferation and maintain peace and stability in north-east Asia.
It has been confirmed that North Korea conducted a third nuclear test on 12 February, at 11:57 (02:57 GMT) at an area in Pung-gye-ri, North Hamgyong province, disregarding the repeated warnings of the UN Security Council and the international community.
The nuclear test poses a direct challenge against the whole international community as well as an unacceptable threat to the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula and north-east Asia. North Korea will be held responsible for any consequences of this provocative act.
I strongly condemn North Korea's third nuclear test that was carried out in spite of strong warnings from us and the international community.
North Korea's nuclear test is a grave threat to the Korean Peninsula and international peace, hampers inter-Korean trust-building and undermines efforts for peace.
(The test) is a grave threat to the safety of our country and a serious challenge against the global framework of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
It cannot be tolerated, as it will significantly damage safety and peace in northeast Asia and the international community.
We insist that the DPRK (North Korea) cease its unlawful acts and unwaveringly carry out all UN Security Council instructions, completely renounce its nuclear-missile programmes and return to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the IAEA's comprehensive guarantees.
Thus and only thus will the DPRK be able to emerge from its de-facto international isolation, which will open the way for it to take part in international co-operation in various areas, not excluding peaceful use of the atom and space.
I strongly condemn this development, which is a violation of UN Security Council Resolutions 1718, 1874 and 2087.
The UK will begin urgent consultations with Security Council partners calling for a robust response to this latest development.
North Korea has a choice to make: it can either engage constructively with the international community, cease developing its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes and return to negotiations, or face increasing isolation and further action by the Security Council and the international community.
This is deeply regrettable and is in clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions. The Director General strongly urged the DPRK to fully implement all relevant UN Security Council resolutions and all relevant IAEA Board of Governors resolutions.
The IAEA remains ready to contribute to the peaceful resolution of the DPRK nuclear issue by resuming its nuclear verification activities in the country as soon as the political agreement is reached among countries concerned.


A West Lancashire town could get a rail station as part of new transport plans.

Skelmersdale could get two direct trains to Liverpool per hour and an hourly service to Manchester, Councillor John Fillis said.
Lancashire council has a Â£1m fund to develop a more detailed proposal with Network Rail and Merseytravel that could eventually cost under Â£4m.
Mr Fillis said the planned station would "extend the opportunities available to local people".
He added the proposal could be Lancashire's largest bid for the government's Growth Deals, which provide money to local enterprise partnerships (LEPs).
"Our initial feasibility study shows that connecting Skelmersdale to the rail network should deliver good value for money."
The rail link is part of a "wholesale reconfiguration" of the town's transport network, which aims to improve bus services, cycling and walking links, he said.


The only survivor of a fire in the Conwy Valley has described how he tried and failed to save the two who died.

Garry Lloyd Jones, 48, lost his partner, Bernard Hender, 19, and business partner Doug McTavish, 39, in the flat fire in Llanrwst.
He said he was awoken by smoke at around 06:00 BST last Friday and tried to pull Mr Hender out while screaming for Mr McTavish.
An investigation found the fire started in a tumble dryer.
Speaking to the Newyddion 9 programme, Mr Lloyd Jones described how he was woken by the smell of smoke in the flat the men shared above his undertaker business.
He went to the front of the flat to investigate but was nearly overwhelmed by the smoke which followed behind him.
"The speed of it is unbelievable" he said,
"I grabbed hold of Bernard in the back bedroom and pulled him out of bed. The smoke was increasing.
"I tried to get him towards the door and I had to crawl onto the floor because there was a gap of oxygen at the bottom.
"And I couldn't get him out. I tried to shout to Doug to scream 'Fire get out, get out.'  But unfortunately they didn't make it."
No smoke alarms were installed in the flat. Mr Lloyd Jones warned of their importance.
"I would encourage anyone, get a fire alarm, make sure that battery's working in it, lives could have been saved had we had fire alarms fitted here," he added.
Mr McTavish's funeral will be held on Friday and Mr Hender's held the following Friday.


A candidate put forward by Ofcom to join the Channel 4 board and rejected by the government was an ex-deputy chief of Arts Council England.

Althea Efunshile, the only non-white candidate put forward by the broadcasting regulator, was rejected by culture secretary Karen Bradley.
The other four proposed candidates, all white males, were approved.
Last week Prime Minister Theresa May faced questions in Parliament over why the only BAME candidate was vetoed.
A group of more than 50 MPs also wrote to Mrs Bradley to request an explanation.
In response, Mrs Bradley said she was "in full agreement in the need to ensure our public institutions and appointments represent and reflect modern Britain".
She added: "I do, however, firmly reject any suggestion that female or BAME [Black, Asian and minority ethnic] candidates are treated unfairly in our public appointment decisions."
Karen Bradley, MP for Staffordshire Moorlands, was appointed Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in July.
A DCMS spokesman said she had "approved four candidates on the basis that they met the specific skills and experiences set out in Ofcom's advertised job descriptions".
Althea Efunshile, who left Arts Council England this year, was made a CBE in June for services to arts and culture.
The former secondary school teacher joined the Arts Council as chief operating officer in 2007 and was appointed its deputy chief executive in 2012.
Channel 4's chief executive David Abraham said: "When combined with the many detailed issues they have raised with us over more than a year, this amounts to a worrying and unprecedented level of government interference."

The death of a young Chinese actress from cancer has sparked a debate on social media - because she initially chose traditional Chinese medicine over chemotherapy.

Xu Ting, 26, was diagnosed with lymphoma, a form of cancer that affects the immune system, earlier this year.
However, she chose not to undergo chemotherapy, saying she had seen friends suffer from the procedure, and was concerned about the cost.
"I don't want to let chemotherapy torment me to the point where I look unrecognisable, and have lost all my money, and myself," she wrote on micro-blogging site Sina Weibo.
Instead, Ms Xu opted for traditional Chinese medicine methods, such as cupping, acupuncture, back stretching and a method called gua sha in which the skin is scraped to produce light bruising.
As her condition got worse, she did eventually resort to chemotherapy - but died of cancer on 7 September.
Xu Ting first revealed her condition to the public in July, using her official Weibo account which has almost 300,000 fans.
She documented her journey online, posting several photos of herself undergoing traditional Chinese medicine treatments.
Her posts attracted the attention of tens of thousands of social media users - while many wished her well, several also urged her to undergo chemotherapy.
"Listen to me, Chinese medicine is absolutely useless to cure cancer, if you don't want to listen to me at least listen to a doctor," one user commented.
"Please abandon the traditional treatments, it's a fantasy. You need to rely on modern medicine to save yourself," another said.
The actress, who is one of seven children, said that she had been working hard her entire life to pay for her brother's tuition, her parent's debt, and a house, but never felt comfortable spending money on herself.
After learning of Ms Xu's death, there was intense debate over whether she would have survived if she had turned to chemotherapy, with the hashatg #XuTing'sDeathAndChineseMedicine trending on Sina Weibo.
Some argued that traditional Chinese medicine should not be blamed for her death.
"There are many cancer patients who pass away after receiving chemotherapy. Will these same people also say that Western medicine is a sham?" said a writer from the Beijing Evening News.
"Chinese medicine is thousands of years old. Not everything Western doctors say is true," another expressed.
Others argued that Ms Xu should have taken both types of treatment to complement each other, as chemotherapy would have targeted her tumour while traditional Chinese medicine could have helped alleviate her symptoms.
"Both types of medicine have their own strengths and weakness. The point is you need to use them together," said one user.
It is not uncommon for Chinese patients to visit Western doctors for acute illnesses, but use traditional Chinese methods to prevent sicknesses or minor ailments.
Scientists are also beginning to research whether traditional Chinese medicine can treat or prevent cancer.
Many fans steered clear of the debate altogether - but expressed sadness that Ms Xu had died at such a young age.
"I'm sad that this is how I came to know you," one user wrote. "I hope there's no pain in heaven, and wish you well."


A plane has landed safely at Manchester Airport after circling for more than four hours due to a technical fault.

The Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) Dreamliner, which departed from Jeddah at 02.32 BST and was due to land at 08:30, started to circle over the Peak District.
The plane landed at 12:28. It had a total of six hours of fuel reserves.
The airline said there was an issue with the trailing edge flaps and it was waiting for a dry runway.
The flaps are used to help control the speed and angle of an aircraft's descent.
A spokesman for Saudia said once the wet weather had cleared up in Manchester, the plane was able to land safely.
He said it was carrying six hours' worth of fuel reserves.


Post offices and shops are expected to be very busy on Tuesday, as people going back to work after the holidays try to return unwanted presents.

Royal Mail predicts that on what it calls Take-back Tuesday there will be a rise of more than 50% in returns against December's daily average.
Clothing and footwear are the most likely items to be returned.
People are also expected to flock to shops at lunchtime to give back gifts, but may face issues getting a refund.
Catherine Shuttleworth, from consumer analysts Savvy Marketing, told the BBC: "The problem for many people will be that without a gift receipt they will not be able to get a return at the retail price at which an item was originally purchased.
"Prices have been slashed in the Boxing Day and January sales, and there is also likely to be very mixed stock available if shoppers are wanting to return and replace an item, as it is unlikely a product will be available on the shelf."
It is not only shoppers who could have problems - there are also issues for the companies themselves.
"It poses challenges for retailers in terms of additional staffing for returns and ensuring that returns policies are adhered to," Ms Shuttleworth said.
"This year, returns are complicated by the high level of discounting before Christmas when many gifts were purchased - so retailers have the challenge of managing their [profit] margin on returns.
"You can also expect to see long queues in retailers at exchange points, which are never a desirable position for the retailer or shopper."

Most online clothes shoppers send something back
Royal Mail's figures for the expected surge in returns is based on the number of parcels handled by its Tracked Returns service, which is used by more than 1,000 e-retailers.
A Royal Mail survey of 1,517 UK online shoppers, looking at the number of items sent back, discovered that 30% of them returned women's clothes, 17% men's clothes, 16% footwear and 7% children's clothes.
And in a separate survey of 1,505 online shoppers in the UK, 38% said that a free returns policy was likely to make them do more shopping in this way.
The highest volume of returns through Royal Mail in the last financial year took place in January 2016.


Construction of the A417 "missing link" near Gloucester will not be complete in five years, an election candidate says.

Conservative Richard Graham said the need for improvement was "absolutely critical" and it was "a great shame" it had not been done previously.
The government set aside about Â£255m to fund the work, but said in December it was a long way from implementation.
Four election candidates, speaking on a BBC Radio Gloucestershire debate, all agreed to ensure the work begins.
The route connects the M4 near Swindon to the M5 near Gloucester and is used by up to 34,000 vehicles daily.
It has previously been dubbed a "road to hell" by a local councillor due to air pollution, "terrible accident rates" and "dreadful congestion".
Jeremy Hilton, for the Liberal Democrats, said it was a priority for him but although there was general agreement over the need, he could foresee "differences of opinion" when it comes to the road layout being designed.
Labour's Sophy Gardner also said the shadow transport secretary had confirmed a Labour government would continue with the plan, and Richard Ford, for UKIP, said transport was "extremely important, and particularly for Gloucester".
Three other candidates were not part of the BBC Radio Gloucestershire debate: Jonathan Ingleby for the Green Party, TUSC candidate Sue Powell, and George Ridgeon for the Monster Raving Loony Party.
The candidates for the constituency are:
Richard Ford, UKIP
Sophy Gardner, Labour
Richard Graham, Conservative
Jeremy Hilton, Liberal Democrat
Jonathan Ingleby, Green
Sue Powell, TUSC
George Ridgeon, Monster Raving Loony Party


Two shop worker brothers who groomed young girls with free sweets and mobile phone top-ups have been jailed for years of abuse.

Ilvarasan and Vinothan Rajenthiram groomed nine girls before plying them with alcohol and assaulting them.
Ilvarasan, 26 of Wallasey Village, Wirral, was sentenced to 22 and a half years in prison, while Vinothan, 27 of Wigan, received 18 and a half years.
They were found guilty of a total of 30 charges spanning more than five years.
Sentencing them at Liverpool Crown Court, Judge Norman Wright said "both abused their position in the shops to target teenage girls".
The grooming happened at convenience stores the brothers worked in at Birkenhead, Walton and Garston between 2010 and January 2016.
Judge Wright said they gave the 14 and 15-year-old girls free sweets and mobile phone top-ups, as well as serving them cigarettes, "to win their trust and confidence".
The pair, known to victims as Ara and Vino, then invited them to go for drives, listen to music and "chill out".
"The final step was to take them back to unoccupied flats and ply them with alcohol," the judge said.
Judge Wright added that it was all about the brothers' "sexual gratification".
Det Supt Dave Brunskill described the pair as "calculating sexual predators who went to extraordinary lengths to groom their victims".
He said: "In most cases, they gained the trust of the young girls then took the relationship further by coercing the girls to take part in sexual activity after plying them with alcohol.
"Victims mistakenly believed that these men genuinely had feelings for them and they didn't realise that they were being groomed and sexually exploited."
In a statement to court, one of the victims said the experience had "ruined my life".
She said she "trusted him to be a good person" and thought they had "something special".
"I had not done anything wrong," she said. "I was just a vulnerable, naive child who should have been safe in his company."
The mother of another victim said their sentences "will never justify the damage they have caused my daughter and all the others involved".
"The fact that those men pleaded not guilty sickened me and proves that they feel no guilt, shame or remorse. They have no conscience in my eyes," she added.
Ilvarasan was found guilty of 15 counts of sexual activity with a child, three counts of sexual assault and two counts of perverting the course of justice.
Vinothan was convicted of four counts of sexual assault, one rape, four counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of perverting the course of justice.
The pair were ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.


Former US President Barack Obama is being criticised for reportedly agreeing a $400,000 (Â£310,000) fee for a speech to a Wall Street bank.

The 44th president has accepted an offer to speak at a healthcare conference hosted by Cantor Fitzgerald in September, US media report.
The deal comes less than 100 days after Mr Obama left office.
In 2009, he told CBS: "I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street."
Mr Obama has reportedly agreed to be a keynote speaker at an event hosted by Cantor Fitzgerald LP, an investment bank that lost more than two-thirds of its staff in the attack on the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001.
The fee is nearly twice the $225,000 that Hillary Clinton received for three speeches to Goldman Sachs in 2015.
She was heavily criticised during last year's presidential campaign for her Wall Street speeches, with activists on both sides of the political spectrum demanding she release the transcripts.
During Mr Obama's two terms as US president he at times seemed to have strained relations with the financial sector.
He deplored high bonuses paid to bank executives, and said Wall Street shared blame for the 2008 financial crisis.
Some liberals have criticised Mr Obama's speech decision, with one writer saying it "will undermine everything he believes in".
The New York Post, meanwhile, said his speech made him "Wall Street's newest fat cat".
Mr Obama appears to be enjoying life after the White House since he left office in January.
On Monday he made his first public remarks about community organising to students at the University of Chicago, where his presidential library is set to be built.
He was pictured kite-surfing in February with Richard Branson off the Virgin tycoon's private Caribbean island.
And just this month, he and former First Lady Michelle Obama were pictured aboard music mogul David Geffen's luxury yacht off French Polynesia.
They were reportedly on holiday with Bruce Springsteen, Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey.
Mr Obama also took in a Broadway play in New York City before dining with U2's Bono.
Two months ago the former president accepted an offer from Penguin Random House for two books to be written separately by him and Michelle.
They are expected to receive $65m for the deal.


A leading South African university says it is investigating Nazi-inspired posters that have appeared on campus notice boards.

Stellenbosch University condemned "racial superiority and any attempts to polarise" the campus, a spokesman said.
The posters, reminiscent of Nazi propaganda to rally support for Hitler, called for a "Fight for Stellenbosch".
The university has been fraught with racial tension since white minority rule ended in 1994.
During apartheid, it was an elite institution for Afrikaans-speaking white people.
The university has been hit by protests over language policy, tuition fees, and alleged racism.
Following calls for Afrikaans to be replaced with English as the main language of instruction, the university says it has adopted a multilingual policy and no student is excluded on the grounds of language.
Most black people in South Africa prefer to speak English than Afrikaans.
The posters were issued in the name of "The New Right",  and called on "Anglo-Afrikaner" students to attend a meeting on Thursday to "Fight for Stellenbosch".
The images were a recreation of the Nazi-era League of German Girls, and of slogans such as "The German student fighting for the Fuhrer and the people".
The posters have caused outrage, with people saying they were the latest example of racism and inequality at the prestigious institution, says the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in the main city, Johannesburg.
In a statement, the university said it had so far identified three individuals who were allegedly linked to the "totally unacceptable" and "highly offensive" posters.
Investigations, led by the university's Equality Unit, were continuing, it added.
"There seems to be deliberate mischief-making involved and, if that should be the case, disciplinary steps will be taken," Vice-Chancellor Wim de Villiers said.


India's top court has found indebted tycoon Vijay Mallya guilty of contempt of court in a case filed by banks to recover borrowed funds.

Mr Mallya is said to owe banks $777m (Â£600m), but he denies wrongdoing.
The court ordered Mr Mallya to appear before it on 10 July, but he is currently in London.
India is seeking his extradition to face a raft of charges relating to financial irregularities at his defunct Kingfisher Airlines.
The contempt petition was filed in the Supreme Court by a group of banks, led by the State Bank of India.
They accused the 61-year-old former Indian MP of transferring $40m which he received in severance pay from UK drinks giant Diageo to his children last year in "flagrant violation" of various court orders.
A court blocked the $75m payment in March 2016 after creditors demanded it be used to settle Mr Mallya's outstanding debts, but $40m had already been transferred.
Mr Mallya made his fortune selling beer under the Kingfisher brand before branching out into aviation and Formula 1 racing.
He is the co-owner of the F1 team Force India and also owns the Indian Premier League cricket franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore.
But Mr Mallya's airline was grounded in 2012 and its flying permit lapsed the following year. Kingfisher made annual losses for five years in a row and finally collapsed after lenders refused to give it fresh loans.
His total debts, including unpaid wages and operating costs, are estimated to exceed $1bn.
Mr Mallya entered the UK in March 2016. A month later India revoked his passport and asked the UK to return him.
Last month he was arrested by British police and subsequently released on bail.
