Scottish fishing leaders have said they are "encouraged" by talks with the UK and Scottish governments about Brexit.

The Scottish Fishermen's Federation (SFF) met the UK environment secretary and fishing minister in London.
Talks with the Scottish government's Brexit minister Michael Russell were also held at Holyrood.
The SFF campaigned for a Leave vote in June's referendum, and argue Brexit could present an opportunity.
The organisation said control over British waters would bring huge potential benefits to Scottish fishing.
Research by the North Atlantic Fisheries College said only 42% of fish caught in these waters between 2012 and 2014 were landed by British fishermen.
The other 650,000 tonnes were caught by vessels from elsewhere in the EU.
The SFF's chief executive, Bertie Armstrong, said the UK's exit from the EU represented a ''sea of opportunity'' for the industry.
He told BBC Scotland: "When we joined the EU, our waters were turned over to common grazing.
"The end result after 43 years is that more than half the fish from our EEZ [Exclusive Economic Zone] is removed not in UK beneficial hands.
"No other coastal state would dream of doing that, so the chance to restore some equilibrium there to the big advantage and benefit of the UK industry will present itself."
Scottish Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing and Scotland's Brexit Minister Michael Russell met the Scottish Fishermen's Federation at Holyrood.
Mr Ewing said that he had "reiterated" that Scotland must be treated as an equal partner in EU discussions.
He said: "I want to be the champion of the Scottish fishing industry which is why we are engaging closely with them and listening to their particular needs and concerns.
"It is important that we recognise the value of the EU as a market of fish products as well as providing vital funding through the European and Maritime Fisheries Fund."


The cost of renting in the UK could rise faster than house prices over the next five years, surveyors have warned.

At the end of that period tenants could find themselves having to pay at least 25% more than they do now, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics).
Simon Rubinsohn, Rics chief economist, blamed government moves to discourage buy-to-let landlords.
"In the long run I'm concerned that rents might increase rapidly," he said.
However, he predicted that house prices would continue to rise faster than rents in 2016.
According to Rics estimates, house prices will increase by 6% next year, and rents by 3%.
Over the longer term, the Rics survey suggests rents could rise by an average of 5% each year for the next five years. House prices, it predicts, could rise by 4.7% a year.
The government has announced a series of measures to promote home ownership, but is introducing tax changes that will make life harder for landlords.
From 2017, they will be able to claim less tax relief on their profits. And from April 2016, they will have to pay a higher rate of stamp duty.
"Critically our principal concern with the measures announced by the government is that they are overly focused on promoting home ownership, at the expense of other tenures," said Mr Rubinsohn.
"Discouraging buy-to-let could see private rents take even more of the strain."
However, he welcomed the government plans to build more homes for sale, saying that could help ease house price growth.
Rics predicts that East Anglia is the region likely to see the fastest growth in house prices in 2016, at 8%, while the West Midlands and the South East will also outperform the market.
However, the North East of England is expected to see the slowest growth, at 3%.


The author of a review into the care of people with learning disabilities in England has reported an "absence of any tangible progress" since he issued it.

Sir Stephen Bubb headed the review which was prompted by the Winterbourne View care home abuse scandal in 2011.
His analysis, published in November, urged the closure of some in-patient facilities and more community services.
England's chief nursing officer said improvements must be made "at a fast but safe pace".
Neglect and abuse of patients by staff at Winterbourne View, a private residential hospital near Bristol, was uncovered by BBC Panorama. Six people were jailed in 2012 and five given suspended sentences.
Sir Stephen said that although the number of people being discharged from Winterbourne-style institutions was now greater than those being admitted, "it remains abundantly clear that a revolving door of discharges and admissions will continue unless a closure and transition programme is acted on".
He said although NHS England had made it a "top strategic objective" to improve conditions for people with learning disabilities, "the pace of change remains slow, and this is unacceptable".
Sir Stephen, who is chief executive of the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO), said there appeared to be "no dialogue" between NHS England and third sector providers, such as charities and community organisations, about how to deliver the transition.
He said this six-month review should be treated as a "warning call" ahead of a "formal stock take of actions" in a further six months' time.
"The core recommendation of my report was the need to close these institutions as quickly as possible and you can't close them until there is good strong community provision - people with learning disabilities and their families deserve action now," he said,
"There's huge scepticism that anything will happen. NHS England needs to prove them wrong.
"And until I see action on the ground I will continue to (hold the) government to account."
He called for an independent taskforce to be set up to get the third sector organisations involved.
His report published in November - Winterbourne View - Time for Change - offered 10 recommendations, including a "charter of rights" for people with learning disabilities and/or autism and their families.
Sir Stephen said he welcomed the Care Act, which came into effect in April and includes rights for those receiving care and those who provide it to their loved ones.
He also welcomed the Department of Health Green Paper on the rights of people with learning disabilities and/or autism, along with the commitment made by NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens to publish a full transition programme in the autumn.
In a joint statement, Jan Tregelles, chief executive of Mencap, and Viv Cooper, chief executive of the Challenging Behaviour Foundation, said change would not happen unless community services were improved.
"This must include investing in a highly skilled community workforce to support children and adults with a learning disability to meet their individual needs," they said.
Jane Cummings, chief nursing officer for England and chairwoman of the Transforming Care Delivery Board, said: "All the agencies involved in this work are clear that while a great deal of progress has been made we still have lots to do to transform and improve care for people with learning disabilities.
"We are committed to driving through changes at a fast but safe pace, we are on track to do so, and I will be setting out the closure and reprovision plans in October as previously announced."


The future of the United Kingdom is being threatened by "piecemeal" devolution to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, peers have said.

The cumulative impact that the transfer of powers was having on the "integrity" of the union had not been considered, the Lords Constitution Committee said.
Further granting of powers, it said, should be subject to an assessment of their effect on the UK's cohesion.
The SNP said the peers were "trundling out all the same old arguments".
The UK government has insisted the union is stronger as a result of the new settlement for Scotland, the proposed strengthening of the National Assembly for Wales and the Stormont Parliament in Northern Ireland and the Northern Powerhouse plan to empower Greater Manchester and other City regions by giving them responsibilities for health care, transport and planning.
But the cross-party committee has expressed reservations about the pace of devolution and the thinking behind it, arguing it has been "ad hoc and reactive" with too little thought given to the preservation and enhancement of the union.
Lord Lang, the Conservative peer and former Scottish secretary who heads the committee, said the union was "being taken for granted" and any further devolution must be governed by a new set of "constitutional principles" that safeguarded its integrity.
Under an agreement brokered in the aftermath of the No vote in the 2014 independence referendum, Holyrood is assuming substantial new powers over tax, including air passenger duty, borrowing and welfare as well as the right to legislate in a ream of new areas.
But the peers warned against Scotland taking any further steps towards "full fiscal autonomy", saying this would break the union apart. They also said the UK Parliament should scrutinise much more closely any future proposal for a second independence referendum.
While welcoming the more modest pace of devolution in England, the peers said the case for greater self-government for England remained "unresolved" and had clearly not been satisfied by either regional devolution deals or changes to voting procedures in the House of Commons giving MPs from English constituents a veto over legislation affecting England only.
The committee's main recommendations are:
"Since 1999, devolution has been largely demand-led and piecemeal," Lord Lang said. "The committee saw no evidence of strategic thinking about its cumulative impact on the union as a whole.
"The government does not seem to recognise the pressures being placed on the United Kingdom by the ad hoc, reactive manner in which devolution has taken place, and continues to take place. It's now time to focus more on the union."
Successive UK governments, he added, had "failed to adapt" to devolution and the sheer number of policy areas which were no longer the preserve of Whitehall, a state of affairs which required much closer collaboration if UK-wide policies were to be implemented properly.
As such, the devolved administrations must be regarded as "established components" of the UK's unwritten constitution.
"Instead of the 'devolve and forget' attitude of the past, the UK government should be engaging with the devolved administrations across the whole breadth of government policy," he said.
"Not interfering, but co-operating and actively managing the cross-border and UK-wide implications of differing policy and service delivery choices. Shared and overlapping policy areas need to be handled sensibly, with each administration conscious of the interests of the others."
The committee is made up of pro-Unionist Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem peers as well crossbenchers. The SNP, Plaid Cymru and the Northern Irish political parties are not represented.
The SNP said the report was "irrelevant" and questioned the right of unelected peers to pass judgement on Scotland's governing arrangements.
"This report indicates a spectacular failure of the committee to grasp devolution, and its recommendations would break the vow and promises made to the people of Scotland during the referendum campaign," said SNP MP Pete Wishart.
"The House of Lords seem to be confused that in the Fiscal Framework - agreed between the Scottish and UK Governments - it is crystal clear that the Barnett formula will remain."


A suicide bomber has struck in the western Turkish city of Bursa, injuring 13 people, officials say.

The attack took place near the city's 14th Century Grand Mosque, a symbol of the city, reports said.
The governor of Bursa said the attacker was a suspected female suicide bomber.
Turkey has been hit by a wave of suicide bombings blamed on both Islamist and Kurdish militants. Earlier reports said one person had been killed in the blast.
However, Reuters news agency later quoted Turkey's health minister as saying 13 people had been wounded, none seriously.
No-one has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing.
On Tuesday the US warned of "credible indications" of terrorist threats at tourist areas in the country.

They used to say that all roads lead to Rome.

But, today, it seems that all roads lead to Russia. Or to its president: Vladimir Putin.
Moscow is a key participant in the Syrian war and in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Russian hackers have been accused of breaking into US servers; the Russian state has been accused of trying to influence the outcome of the US presidential election and of attempting to divide and weaken the European Union.
And yet when Vladimir Putin came to power 16 years ago, he appeared ready for a close friendship with the West. The US President Bill Clinton described him as "smart" and a man with "enormous potential".

But compliments have given way to confrontation, with a list of differences as long as the Russian winter: Syria, Ukraine, Nato enlargement, missile defence. Western governments are disillusioned with an increasingly authoritarian Kremlin leader. And he no longer trusts them.
"There's a real feeling now that America is out to prove it is the only superpower," believes veteran broadcaster Vladimir Pozner. "That if Russia does not fall into step the way the US wants it to it's going to have to pay a very high price for that.
"The continued expansion of Nato is seen by the Russian leadership, perhaps incorrectly, is seen as being a real threat. You're pushing us, so we're pushing you right back. And we will do whatever we can to make it as unpleasant for you as you've made it for us.
"There is a danger of real confrontation, perhaps leading to some kind of military engagement and war."
This week the popular Russian tabloid Moskovsky Komsomolets suggested that the Syrian conflict could spark a "direct military confrontation between Russia and America" - on a par with the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. It warned of a Third World War.
"We had bad relations during the Cold War," says Andrey Kortunov, head of the Russian International Affairs Council, "but during the Cold War the relationship was more or less stable, because we knew what to expect from each other, we knew the rules of the game.
"Today we don't have anything like that. So relations aren't stable. This is what makes this relationship dangerous, arguably more dangerous than in the Cold War."
The US and other western countries have accused Russia of committing war crimes in Syria with air strikes on civilian and humanitarian targets. Moscow denies it and claims it is attacking terrorists.
There may be another objective.
"Russian foreign policy is all about the battle for America's respect," explains political commentator Leonid Radzikhovsky.
"There's nothing else in our foreign policy. I mean 'respect' in the Russian sense: people respecting you because they are scared of you.
"For Putin there is one game in town: first he'll show the Americans the middle finger, then get them to bow down and get them to say 'We want to be your friends'."
This week, President Putin suspended an agreement with America to reduce stockpiles of weapons-grade plutonium.
In the form of a draft law to parliament he issued an astonishing list of conditions for resuming the deal: the US must scrap all sanctions against Russia and pay Moscow compensation, and America must reduce troops numbers in some Nato countries.
It is a sign perhaps of President Putin's frustration that, so far, he has been unable to secure the international respect he believes his country deserves.
Would the situation be any different under a different president?
"Of course, individuals and personality matter," says political scientist Ekaterina Schulmann.
"But keep in mind that the current political elite in Russia is composed of males aged 60+, they are very similar in terms of upbringing, in their psychology, their values, in their education and world view. So replacing one for the other wouldn't change things drastically."
Leonid Radzikhovsky is confident that Russia will not go to war with the US.
"Putin is a megalomaniac, he is convinced he is 10 times better than any western leader. But he's not the kind of person to open a window on the 18th floor, declare 'I can fly' and jump out. He has no plan to drop a hydrogen bomb on Washington. Narcissism is one thing; suicidal tendencies are another. He is not suicidal."


Last month, England international Rachel Unitt ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament in her knee for the second time in 16 months.

Another long lay-off could signal the end of a career for the 32-year-old who has earned 102 caps for her country.
More worryingly, she is the fourth Notts County player to suffer the injury this season and the ninth player to be injured in this manner during 2014 in the Women's Super League (WSL) top division.
On the face of it, their plight could be viewed as bad luck. But is there more to it than that?
Research by world governing body Fifa has suggested that female footballers are between two and six times more likely to suffer this injury because of physiological differences such as generally wider hips, which increase the leg's angle into the knee, and under-developed muscles which prevent the knee from turning in upon landing.
However the rate of injuries to the whole body for women is lower than for men.
There has been a sharp increase in serious knee injuries since the women's game moved to a semi-professional league in the summer of 2011.
Not all clubs in the WSL keep historical records on these injuries, but the Football Association does. Their figures show that in the opening WSL season just one England international suffered an ACL injury, but that rose to five last season and six this season.
"Broadly speaking, there are two ways that you can tear your ACL," says former England chief medical officer Pippa Bennett, who worked with ex-England manager Hope Powell. "Landing from a jump with a straighter knee and cutting and turning with your knee falling inwards a little bit. This is what we call an increased valgus angle.
"I was with the England teams for 15 years and on average, we would probably have four or five players in the team who have had an ACL injury at some point in their career. So we do see these spikes and troughs."
Elle Turner is a sports scientist at Manchester City Women's team, which joined the WSL this season. She says that when she started working with the squad last January, there were players who she considered "an ACL injury waiting to happen."
"In football, you get forces going through the body at four times the body mass and if players are not able to move correctly, that's when the risk goes through the roof for injuries," she says.
"A lot of female footballers have poor hamstrings and poor gluteus medius muscles, which are the muscles at the side of the hips that correct the knee and brings it back into alignment. So we work on them on a daily basis."
There are concerns in the game that more could be done to protect players, with the spike in knee injuries this season coinciding with an increased load on the players' bodies. Liverpool Ladies won their first title last season after committing to full-time training. This season, many other teams have followed suit in an attempt to usurp Matt Beard's side, who will battle it out with Chelsea and Birmingham for the title next weekend.
Effectively, some players have gone from part-time to full-time footballers in a matter of months. Is it too much, too soon?
As Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor says: "Everybody wants to see the women's game progress. But on the other hand, it doesn't want to progress on the back of a lot of injuries that are unnecessary."
Helen Vaughan, lead physiotherapist at Manchester City adds: "I definitely think that the increase could be discussed as a factor. We know movement patterns and the quality of movement is lost when players fatigue so I think a big part of it is fitness levels."
Add in a clustered schedule, which the likes of Beard have criticised before, and it is a potentially risky cocktail.
The move to a summer league three years ago has been classed a success by many in the game as it avoids fixture clashes with men's teams and the risk of waterlogged pitches in winter. With nearly all teams renting stadiums from lower league men's teams, though, they still have to fit in their matches around other schedules and allow a break in the middle of the season so that pitches can seed.
Even so, Bennett says that more medical advice should be taken on board when deciding the fixture list. During her time at the FA, she says her medical team were not consulted about the schedule.
"There are loads of factors that go into scheduling matches, not purely the science and medicine behind it," she adds. "Accessibility to pitches, TV rights etc… but certainly some input medically would be a benefit I'm sure in the future."
FA director of women's football Kelly Simmons accepts that striking the right balance is a "challenge". Yet she insists that the FA now works together with the elite unit at St George's Park and is attempting to establish an even spread of matches.
"If you're asking England manager Mark Sampson or the elite unit, they'd probably say one fixture a week is ideal," she says. "Outside of that then maybe no more than a midweek fixture every other week so you've always got that chance to build in recovery timing."
Another factor that could have direct impact on Sampson, too, is the use of synthetic pitches. Research has shown that injuries tend not to be more common than on grass but a PFA study says that players feel less sure about artificial surfaces.
Liverpool and Everton both use a 3G pitch in the WSL, with the sides being hit by five ACL injuries between them in the past two seasons. Synthetic turf will also be used at the 2015 World Cup in Canada, a decision that has seen a group of players suing Fifa in protest.
Sampson, though, has said he has no issue with the plans, saying the surface may actually help his team.
"Some people can adapt to changing between surfaces well, certainly the younger players that went to the under 20s World Cup in Canada last August came back saying it was fine," says Bennett. "They are young players, they can adapt.
"As we get older, the ability of our muscles, our tendons, our ligaments, our bones, to adapt to the change of surface actually becomes more difficult.
"As a medic we want to get the players fit but their long-term health has got to be paramount as well.
"Every club needs to invest in a really good backroom staff to look after their female players."
One club which has embraced that is Manchester City, with players there having access to the medical care and facilities which minimise the risk.
As club and England captain Steph Houghton says: "I feel that as a squad we are generally one of the best prepared teams in the league.
"It's upsetting when you see some of your close friends getting ACLs and you think, they don't deserve it.
"Nobody deserves to have an injury like that. It is something we've got to try and combat."
Whether it is changes to training, pitches or scheduling which is needed, it is clear that there is a willingness from all sections of English football to ensure that the number of ACL injuries this season remains an anomaly.

Shropshire's gold medal-winning Paralympian Mickey Bushell has revealed that he nearly died last year from a urine infection - but is now on course to defend his title in Rio in August.

Bushell, from Telford, is aiming to repeat his 100m T53 triumph at the London Paralympics in September 2012.
But he missed seven months of training last year after suffering a chlamydia trachomatis infection (CTI).
"I saw a specialist, who said I was 12 hours from death," said Bushell.
"Everything is ticking over nicely now, but I hope this year will be a real turning point after last year," he told BBC Radio Shropshire.
"I did one race before the illness. But then I had a CTI infection around April and May which took me out for seven months. I nearly died.
"Coming back from that was tough. It took me a long time to get there, but I'm back now, training hard and looking forward to Rio.
"It will be an interesting year but we'll get through it and hopefully I'll win again."
Bushell, who received the freedom of his home town in 2014, also won the T53 class at the European Championships in Swansea in 2014 prior to his illness.
Mickey Bushell was speaking to BBC Radio Shropshire's Nick Southall.


An eye in the sky that can help catch wildlife poachers is the dream of many conservationists in Africa.

Special Report: The Technology of Business
South African education goes digital
Kenya's mobile money revolution
Africa mobile boom powers innovation
Is tech saving the music industry?
That dream is closer to becoming a reality thanks to rapid advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), or drone, technology.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a Kenyan 90,000-acre reserve specialising in protecting white and black rhinos, has teamed up with San Francisco-based tech company Airware, which develops drone autopilot systems.
"With the blessing of the Kenya Wildlife Service we did 10 days of testing," Robert Breare, Ol Pejeta's chief commercial officer, told the BBC.
Rangers at the base could operate the drone via two laptops, one showing a map tracking the flight path, the other showing the UAV's point of view through a high-definition camera.
Can drones tackle wildlife poaching?
Thermal imaging cameras meant the drone could also fly at night, with the operators clearly differentiating the shapes of animals.
They could even see how the elephants' trunks changed temperature as they sucked up water from a trough.
With a wingspan of less than a metre, the catapult-launched drone flew at an altitude of about 500 feet.
"You hardly see or notice it," he says. "We don't want to startle the wildlife... or the tourists."
Jonathan Downey, Airware's chief executive, says: "At one point during testing a tractor severed the ethernet cable so we lost all communications with the aircraft.
"It was able to work this out then fly back to base. When it didn't receive any further instructions it landed by itself."
Mr Breare envisages drones complementing, rather than replacing, the sniffer dogs and teams of armed, GPS-tagged rangers connected by a digital radio system.
But while this trial was deemed a success, both parties acknowledge that much more work needs to be done.
"The operating and autopilot systems worked flawlessly and were easy to operate," says Mr Breare, "but finding an airframe that was robust enough for the environment proved difficult."
Rangers need all the help they can get in the fight against poachers.
Killing elephants for their tusks and rhinos for their horns has become an illicit multi-million dollar business, with demand particularly high in Asia.
And the trade is threatening Africa's lucrative wildlife tourism industry.
"South Africa's Kruger National Park is ground zero for poachers," says Crawford Allan, spokesman for the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) crime technology project. "There are 12 gangs in there at any time. It's almost like a war zone."
"With a kilo of rhino horn selling for around $60,000 (Â£35,000), a big specimen can fetch $250,000," says Mr Breare.
"Security is a very significant part of our operating budget and this has escalated over the last two years because of increases in the price of ivory and rhino horn.
"We estimate we've had to spend an additional $2m to protect the rhino that we have," he told the BBC.
But drones are not the whole answer, most experts agree.
"They're not a silver bullet," says Mr Breare. "Trying to find the small shape of a poacher in a 90,000-acre park is still difficult, even with high-spec night time and thermal imaging."
Mr Downey also admits that developing an airframe that is both light and strong enough to withstand Africa's rugged landscapes is still a challenge, especially when cost will be an issue for many game reserves.
While the "brains" of the drone weigh just 100g, the batteries required to power it for long-duration surveillance missions are heavy, meaning the airframe has to be bigger, and therefore more costly.
Smaller, cheaper drones come with a typical battery life of 30-90 minutes, but large game reserves "really need drones that can fly for six to eight hours," says Mr Breare.
Airware's Mr Downey estimates that drones for anti-poaching will ultimately cost $50,000-$70,000.
Higher-specification long-range drones can cost upwards of $250,000.
There is also further development needed around software that can automatically detect different animal species and count them, Mr Downey says.
On an African plain in the dead of night, poachers can remain invisible to rangers just 100m away.
So hand-launched drones with night vision can provide a very useful extra pair of eyes, says Scott "LB" Williams, founder and director of the Reserve Protection Agency (RPA), a not-for-profit technology consultancy.
But even when the poachers have been located, GPS-tracked rangers still have the dangerous task of arresting or seeing off the gangs who are often heavily armed and funded by organised crime syndicates.
About 1,000 rangers have been killed over the last 10 years trying to protect wildlife, the Game Rangers Association of Africa estimates.
So the RPA has been experimenting with integrating a range of technologies on the Amakhala game reserve in South Africa's Eastern Cape.
"We've designed our own tracking tag incorporating RFID [radio-frequency identification] technology and attached it to animals, rangers, vehicles, weapons and trees," says Mr Williams.
"We're putting up three large towers to pick up the tag signals and creating a kind of cyber canopy. The UAV is just one layer of the onion, not the whole solution."
The WWF's crime technology project has also been trying out this approach after receiving $5m (Â£3m) of funding from technology giant Google.
"Our ultimate finding was that UAVs by themselves were pointless," says WWF's Crawford Allan.
"The first thing you do need on the ground is well-equipped, well-trained rangers to react to the data coming in. Other systems - such as tagging and tracking of animals - used in combination with UAV tech makes much more sense."
The WWF, like the RPA, believes that linking all these ground and air sensors and cameras over a secure radio network is crucial in the fight against poaching.
As well as spotting, tracking and deterring poachers, drones could also play a wider conservation role.
Mr Williams believes that longer-range drones equipped with multiple sensors and cameras will be used strategically for surveillance, data collection, and flora and fauna censuses.
Ol Pejeta's Robert Breare agrees, saying: "Currently counting animals has to be done manually from the air, which is expensive and not terribly accurate. If this could be done automatically using drones it would save us a lot of time and money."
While image recognition software that can differentiate between species at night is being developed, "we're not there yet," says Airware's Mr Downey.
But the pace of development is rapid and interest in anti-poacher drones is global.
For example, the Wildlife Conservation UAV Challenge, founded by Princess Aliyah Pandolfi of Kashmir-Robotics and supported by the RPA, has received nearly 140 entries for its low-cost drone competition.
The winners, to be announced in November, will see their designs tested in South Africa's Kruger National Park.
So drone technology is likely to play a significant part in the fight against poaching, but only as part of an integrated, ground-to-air tracking and surveillance system.
Until then, as Crawford Allan says: "Nothing beats a real dog."


Surrey seamer Tom Curran says he is "more hungry" for success this season after his first senior England call-up.

Curran joined England's limited-overs tour of the West Indies in February after an injury to Nottinghamshire's Jake Ball, but did not make his debut.
The 21-year-old also featured for England Lions in their winter tours of Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates.
"Obviously I was disappointed not to play, but I wasn't expecting it to be easy," he told BBC Radio London.
"Getting an international debut is not easy and it's definitely just made me more hungry."
Curran, the son of former Zimbabwe all-rounder Kevin Curran and brother of Surrey and England Lions teammate Sam, averaged 27.66 with the ball in 50-over cricket last season, but 42.29 in first-class games.
"I see myself as an all three-formats cricketer," he continued.
"But obviously if one-day cricket for England comes first, then that's my way in."


Members of the Tuareg community in Mali say a large number of men from the Tuareg ethnic group have left Mali in the last week to join pro-Gaddafi forces in Libya.

"About 2-300 have left in the last seven days," said a senior elected official, who did not want to be named, from the Kidal region in the north of the country, where many Tuareg live.
Another Tuareg man from Kidal said: "It's true many young men are leaving. It all started about a week back."
He said he had spoken to people in a convoy of 40 vehicles who are in southern Algeria waiting to cross the border into Libya.
The elected official said: "They are being paid about $10,000 (Â£6,000) to join up and then I've heard they are being told that they will get $1,000 a day to fight."
The official claimed that some of the money was coming through the Libyan embassy in the Malian capital, Bamako.
I contacted the embassy but was told only the ambassador could comment and he was sick.
Ever since the start of the uprising in Libya there have been reports of Colonel Gaddafi using "mercenaries" to put down the protesters.
Eyewitnesses have talked of Africans of darker skin firing on protesters, speculating that they might be coming from countries such as Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, Mali and Sudan.
Some of these black African fighters have been in Libya for many years, however. Some have been in the armed forces for much of that time and some have taken on Libyan nationality.
It is only in recent days that reports of people who fit with a more classic definition of "mercenary" have been coming to light and one of the places of recruitment is Mali.
The Tuareg are a traditionally nomadic people who live in the Sahel-Sahara zone of north-west Africa. There have also been reports of Tuareg from Algeria and Niger making the journey to Libya.
The Tuareg and Colonel Gaddafi have a long history.
In the early 1970s, Gaddafi created his Islamic Legion. This was supposed to be an Islamic military force that would fight for a unified Islamic state in north Africa.
Many Tuareg joined up, lured then too by the promise of cash salaries at a time when the Sahel-Sahara zone was experiencing a terrible drought.
The Legion ended up fighting in places like Chad, Sudan and Lebanon but in the late 1980s it was disbanded. Many Tuareg stayed in Libya and joined the country's armed forces.
The other major link between the Tuareg and Col Gaddafi's government is the various Tuareg rebellions in the region.
The Tuaregs in Mali and Niger have fought on and off for many years with their central governments, demanding greater independence or at the very least more investment in the areas they live.
Col Gaddafi has been accused of supporting these rebellions. What is sure is that he has helped broker peace deals and offered sanctuary to former rebels when the fighting was over.
It is these historical links that are now being called upon to get Tuareg to Libya.
"There were people who took part in the Tuareg rebellion here in Mali who then joined the Libyan Army," the official from the Kidal region said.
"These people have very good contacts, of course, to the Tuareg who stayed behind and they are now asking them to come to Libya."
The Malian government has yet to make an official statement about the allegations.
But a source at Mali's foreign ministry said: "The government of Mali is strongly opposed to the use mercenaries in any armed conflict and is not in any way facilitating the movement of these people. We're thinking at the moment about how we can stop this."
Another Malian government official admitted the task was not going to be easy.
"These people are travelling through the desert. Nobody controls the borders in the Sahara," he said.
It is about two days drive from northern Mali to southern Libya.
Many of the Tuareg who are leaving have experience either in the Tuareg rebellions, the Malian armed forces or the Libyan army. On top of this, some have been involved in smuggling drugs and people across the region.
In any case, these days in the Sahara most men know how to handle a weapon. People often travel armed.
The official from Kidal said the lure of huge salaries was just too tempting for young men in a zone where there are few other economic opportunities.
"Even some of my own family have gone to fight, even though I've been begging them not to."


Manchester United moved one point behind fourth-placed Arsenal with victory over Crystal Palace on a night when many fans chose to stay away from Old Trafford.

Damien Delaney set United on their way when he inadvertently turned Matteo Darmian's cross into his own net.
Julian Speroni kept Palace in the game with a series of fine saves before Darmian doubled the lead by lashing home from 20 yards.
Arsenal host West Brom on Thursday.
Darmian's first goal for United sealed a highly satisfactory win for Louis van Gaal's side on a night thousands of United fans decided to stay away.
Relive the action from Old Trafford
Reaction from Old Trafford and Wednesday's other Premier League games
The attendance, which may have included season-ticket holders not present, was given as 75,277, but there looked to be far fewer inside the ground. Despite United's victory, the atmosphere was flat.
With their title challenge over and some fans disillusioned with manager Van Gaal, thousands of supporters chose to give this match a miss.
Asked afterwards about the empty seats, Van Gaal said he didn't see "a lot" before adding "you have seen it because you want to see it."
This was a game United simply had to win and they easily managed to get the job done thanks, partly, to an inferior Palace side who have yet to secure top-flight safety.
United were everything Palace were not - bright, creative, energetic and hungry.
One win will not paper over the cracks of a disappointing league campaign, yet Van Gaal's side have given themselves a fighting chance of sealing a top-four finish and Champions League football.
United still face big tests against leaders Leicester City (home) and West Ham (away), while they must also travel to a Norwich side fighting to stay in the Premier League before ending the league season at home to Bournemouth.
But for keeper Julian Speroni, Palace would have been on the receiving end of an ugly defeat as Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard once again showed United have a promising future.
Martial, who gave Martin Kelly and Adrian Mariappa a torrid evening, was denied by two excellent saves after Delaney had stabbed United into the lead while trying to make a clearance.
United's previous four league wins had been 1-0 but the hosts always looked likely to add to their lead against limp opponents.
Darmian neatly chested the ball down before dispatching a sweet finish in front of the Stretford End and only more heroics from Speroni kept out the lively pair of Rashford and Lingard.
Palace started 2016 fifth in the table yet three matches from the end of their league campaign they are nine points above the relegation zone and all the teams below them have games in hand.
Manager Alan Pardew made seven changes from the side that earned a creditable 1-1 draw at Arsenal in their previous game, but they face Watford in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against the backdrop of one win in 18 league games.
Argentine Speroni kept his side in the game while Wilfried Zaha at least offered glimpses of an attacking threat.
Others did little to enhance their chances of earning a starting place at the weekend as United dominated from start to finish.
Emmanuel Adebayor never looked like scoring, defender Pape Souare was fortunate to escape a red card for a wild lunge on Juan Mata and Mariappa struggled on his first start for six months.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "I have told my players that it was a good game and the only remark is that we didn't score too many goals, because it could have been 5-0.

"We needed three points and that is what I said to my players. Darmian surprised me on Monday in the training session. We did a sort of finishing session and he was the top scorer in that time."
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "I am disappointed to concede a goal like we did in the first six minutes. It was avoidable and took a bit of ambition out of us.

"It was difficult after the Arsenal performance to get the same energy here tonight. We tried to freshen it up.
"I could see a bit of blurred focus from our players. I can understand that. A lot of our players may never get a better chance to get to an FA Cup final."
Wembley beckons for both United and Palace.
United will be confident of seeing off a deflated Everton in the first semi-final on Saturday (17:15 BST) while Palace have an extra day to prepare before facing Watford (16:00 BST) for a place in the 21 May final.


Questions have been raised over the Scottish government's use of health funds to boost local services spending on its budget balance sheets.

The Scottish Parliament Information Centre and the Fraser of Allander Institute noted that social care funds were being used to show an increase in both the council and health budgets.
The Tories said this was a "double counting con" by the finance secretary.
The government said the budget would give councils extra spending power.
Meanwhile Scottish Labour claimed the budget had become a "total shambles" after revised funding allocations had to be sent out to councils.
A political row broke out over the draft budget as soon as it was announced by Derek Mackay, with opposition parties claiming council funds had been cut despite Mr Mackay claiming a £240m boost for local services.
The core grant for councils was reduced in the budget, but the government argued this was more than offset by funds for local services such as schools and health and social care partnerships, along with potential increases to council tax - although it is down to individual councils whether to raise taxes.
A budget briefing by the impartial Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Spice) pointed out that £107m of social care funds cited by the government for local services were "already included in the health budget totals".
This means the same funds have been used to contribute to a growth in both the health budget and the local services budget.
The Fraser of Allander Institute, an economic think tank based at the Unviersity of Strathclyde, said this was "highly controversial".
They wrote: "The funding for this actually already appears in the health budget lines - indeed it is fundamental to the government's commitment to increase the health budget in real terms.
"But the government often double counts this as spending on local services. Clearly this isn't right, it either has to be one or the other.
"There can be some justification for the additional £107m being viewed - in part - as resource for local services as a large chunk will be used to support the living wage for social care workers in local authorities.
"But if this is the case, then the money should be deducted from the health budget line and thereby reduce the level of investment in that major manifesto commitment. You cannot have it both ways."
The Scottish Conservatives said the government had been "found out" over a "double accounting con".
Finance spokesman Murdo Fraser said Mr Mackay had "signed off on the kind of creative accountancy that would make Fred Goodwin blush".
He added: "NHS money has been double counted as cash for local councils. And the SNP has simply banked 3% council tax rises everywhere in Scotland, even though this is for local authorities to decide."
Scottish Labour meanwhile highlighted revisions to funding allocations sent out to councils over the weekend.
The party's deputy leader Alex Rowley said: "The SNP's budget has now become a total shambles. It's bad enough that SNP ministers are cutting £327m from local services, but to have to correct their own figures to individual councils within a few days is farcical."
A Scottish government spokesman said: "The 2017/18 draft budget local government finance settlement figures, taken together with the opportunity to raise additional council tax, provide a package of measures that confer additional spending power to support local government services of £241m or 2.3% based on the local government finance settlement presentation.
"In addition to their core grant, councils will receive their share of £120m for schools, £107m for social care and £111m in additional revenue from reform of council tax bands."


Portsmouth struck four second-half goals to stun Dagenham & Redbridge and maintain their League Two promotion charge with a third straight win.

The Daggers took the lead against the run of play on 34 minutes through Ashley Hemmings' looping overhead kick.
But the visitors struck twice in nine second-half minutes through Michael Doyle and a Christian Burgess header.
Sub Gareth Evans headed in a free-kick from Kyle Bennett, who then sealed victory on 88 minutes after a mazy run.
Portsmouth stay sixth, five points behind third-placed Accrington, while Dagenham remain bottom of the table, 11 points adrift of safety with five games left.
Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still told BBC Radio London:

"We played very well first half and we started the second half alright. We made three massive errors.
"I don't think they won it. I actually think we lost it.
"Everything about what we were doing was fine. You've got to play with your head."
Portsmouth manager Paul Cook told BBC Radio Solent:

"I think the most important thing to speak about is the end result. It was a great performance today by the lads in general.
"We've got to keep going, we've got to keep believing in what we're doing. It's important we believe in the run we're putting together now.
"I don't think this team's character will ever be in question; the consistency, yeah.
"We're on 69 points. There's a lot of points for us to play for and, as I say, it's a benchmark for where we want to go in the future."


"The business as usual" approach taken by many firms following the Brexit vote has helped boost UK growth this year, but it will not last, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has warned.

The business body expects GDP to grow by 2.1% this year, up from the 1.8% it forecast just three months ago.
But uncertainty over the UK's EU relationship and higher inflation will "dampen medium term growth," it said.
It expects the UK's economy to grow by 1.1% next year, and by 1.4% in 2018.
A separate report on business conditions from accountancy and services group BDO found business output rose for the first time in November after 17 months of decline.
It said this suggested that "for now" the UK economy had stabilised "in a lower gear" than it had been running at before the referendum.
However, it said, business optimism was continuing to fall, and it expected "a bumpy road ahead in 2017 for British businesses and the economy".
The BCC said its upgraded growth forecast for this year was driven by the stronger-than-expected performance of the economy in the third quarter when the economy grew by 0.5%.
The 1.1% growth forecast for next year is a slight upgrade from the BCC's previous forecast of 1%. However, the business group said this would still mark the weakest annual rate of growth for the UK since the 2008 financial crisis.
BCC director general Dr Adam Marshall said firms' "business as usual" approach since the EU referendum had helped keep conditions buoyant so far, but it expected the fall in the value of sterling to start to have a greater impact.
The pound has fallen by about 15% against the dollar and 10% against the euro since the EU referendum.
The BCC expects this to push up inflation, and hit consumer spending as wage growth is eroded by higher prices, as well as business investment.
"Lower sterling and rising inflation are now starting to affect business communities and consumers across the UK," said Dr Marshall.
However, he told the Today programme that he did not forecast a recession or big spike in unemployment, and said forecasts could change.
"We could be in danger of talking down businesses... A lot of them are out there saying that disruption and change creates opportunity and they're looking for new market niches.
"It's the aggregate picture that doesn't look quite as confident... [and] we do think that government as well is going to have to do everything it can to support business confidence."
He urged the government to do as much as it could to help UK firms overcome risk, saying it should start by clarifying the future status of existing EU workers as soon as possible "to end the insecurity now facing employees and businesses alike".
The BCC is a national body of 52 accredited chambers of commerce across the UK, representing over 100,000 businesses in total.
During the EU referendum it decided not to campaign for either side because its membership was split.


Leicester caretaker manager Craig Shakespeare says he will not know until "the middle of next week" if he will get the job on a permanent basis.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Shakespeare, 53, has been in charge since the Premier League champions sacked Claudio Ranieri on 23 February.
The Foxes host Hull City in the league on Saturday at 15:00 GMT, after which they will take a training break.
Shakespeare then expects to sit down with the club's owners once the squad returns on Wednesday.
He previously met with vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and director of football Jon Rudkin on Wednesday but says the possibility of him taking over full time "never came up".
"I'm there to listen to what their wishes are at the moment and I'm very comfortable with how things have gone and what they've told me so far," he said.
"There hasn't been a lot of dialogue, but I don't expect there to be because I'm trying to prepare the team for the next match."
When asked if he would stay on in a support role if the club hire someone else as manager, Shakespeare said he "wouldn't rule anything out".
Leicester have spoken to other potential candidates to replace Ranieri, including former England boss Roy Hodgson.
Having been assistant to both Nigel Pearson and Ranieri, Shakespeare said he relished the opportunity to take charge during their 3-1 victory over Liverpool on Monday.
Shakespeare added that he would be "shattered emotionally" if he was appointed Leicester boss but welcomed the onus being on his decision making.
"I've had input in team selections before but the difference is standing in the touchline area when on you're own, having to make those decisions," he said.
"As a football coach, it's the game that really makes you alive and it's decision making in those games that is crucial and it's something I do enjoy.
"When you play, you become physically tired after games but as a coach and a manager it's definitely more of a mental thing.
"You have to get your head on to talk to the media after the game, you want to address players, so there's a lot going on."


Artificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die, according to scientists.

The software learned to analyse blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail.
The team, from the UK's Medical Research Council, say the technology could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment.
The results were published in the journal Radiology.
The researchers, at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences, were investigating patients with pulmonary hypertension.
High blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and about a third of patients die with five years of being diagnosed.
There are treatments: drugs, injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant.
But doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment.
The software was given MRI scans of 256 patients' hearts, and blood test results.
It measured the movement of 30,000 different points in the organ's structure during each a heartbeat.
When this data was combined with eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence learned which abnormalities predicted when patients would die.
The software could look about five years into the future.
It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%.
Dr Declan O'Regan, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "The AI really allows you to tailor the individual treatment.
"So it takes the results of dozens of different tests including imaging, to predict what's going to happen to individual patients very accurately.
"So we can tailor getting absolutely the right intensive treatment to those who will benefit the most."
The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors.
The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure, such as cardiomyopathy, to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment.
Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said: "This exciting use of computer software in clinical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung-transplant.
"The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals."

Former Blue Peter presenter John Noakes, who used to host the show during the 1960s and 1970s, has died at the age of 83.

He had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
John was Blue Peter's longest-serving presenter, appearing on the show from 1965 to 1978, and often seen with dog Shep by his side.
Blue Peter presenters always get up to lots of adventures on the show and John was no different.
He threw himself into various challenges including white water rafting, a record-breaking free fall parachute drop and even travelling up the Amazon in South America.
But one of the his most famous moments on Blue Peter was when a baby elephant was in the studio. The animal couldn't control its peeing and just wouldn't behave!
The head of the BBC, Tony Hall, said: "John Noakes was one of the BBC's most loved children's presenters. He was a warm and engaging presenter who appealed to all ages and provided children's TV with some of its most memorable moments. He will be missed by his many friends and family."


The US has returned two ancient royal seals to South Korea, looted from the country more than 60 years ago.

The Chosun dynasty artefacts, dating from the 16th and 17th Centuries, are believed to be worth a combined $1.5m (Â£1.15m).
The royal seals, depicting turtles, were presented to President Moon Jae-in during his visit to Washington on Friday.
The US has returned some 8,000 items to more than 30 countries since 2007.
The older of the South Korean artefacts, a gilt-bronze seal made in 1547 to honour Queen Munjeong, the third wife of the Chosun Dynasty's eleventh king, is thought to have been stolen during the Korean War.
The other - a jade block made for King Hyeonjong in 1651  - is believed to have been taken during the Japanese occupation of Korea, between 1910 and 1945.
Investigations began after Queen Munjeong's seal was discovered in a Los Angeles museum in 2013. King Hyeonjong's seal was found in a private collection.
Both will arrive in South Korea on Sunday with President Moon.
They will go on public display from August.


A sports complex could be built in Thurso with support from Cavendish Nuclear, the parent company at the nearby Dounreay power station.

The proposed £2m development has been earmarked for the site of the demolished Dounreay Sports and Social Club.
The power station is also in the process of being knocked down.
A four-lane running track and indoor sports hall equivalent in size to four badminton courts has been proposed.
Subject to planning permission and successful funding applications, the sports complex could be open by the end of 2016.
It would form part of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games legacy programme.


Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov has accused Instagram of bowing to US pressure, after it removed a video he posted showing a Russian opposition leader in a sniper's gunsights.

Instagram said the video had "violated the requirement to respect other members" of the social network.
In a new Instagram post Mr Kadyrov said he had been punished for saying "a few words about the USA's guard dogs".
His video showed former Russian PM Mikhail Kasyanov as a sniper's target.
Mr Kasyanov is a high-profile critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, in the opposition RPR-Parnas party.
Putin loyalist Kadyrov unleashed on Russian 'traitors'
Ramzan Kadyrov: Putin's key Chechen ally
The Chechen leader has recently called Mr Putin's critics "enemies" and "traitors".
In his latest post on Instagram, Mr Kadyrov said: "Here it is, the much-acclaimed freedom of speech, American style!
"You can write anything you want, but do not touch America's dogs, friends of the Department of State and Congress. You know very well whom I am talking about!"
Mr Kasyanov and other Russian opposition politicians described the sniper video as a murder threat.
Last March Mr Kadyrov spoke out on Instagram about the assassination of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov in Moscow, defending one of the Chechens charged over the shooting.
A day later President Putin gave Mr Kadyrov a top award.
Mr Nemtsov is among several well-known opponents of Mr Putin who have been murdered in the past decade.
Mr Kadyrov runs Chechnya with an iron fist - his private militia has been accused of widespread human rights abuses, including torture and assassination.
He has close ties to Mr Putin, who encouraged him to stamp out a separatist insurgency in Chechnya.
Thousands of civilians died in the North Caucasus republic when Russian troops fought the rebels there in the 1990s.


Charlton Athletic were relegated from the Championship after they played out a goalless draw away at bottom club Bolton Wanderers.

Jose Riga's side needed to win to avoid the drop after four years in the second tier, but they failed to score in a tepid encounter at the Macron Stadium.
Bolton goalkeeper Ben Amos saved Simon Makienok's shot in a quiet first half.
The hosts almost stole three points when Oscar Threlkeld crossed for Darren Pratley, who failed to connect.
The result means Charlton will return to League One for the first time since 2012, when they set a then-record points total of 101 points on the way to the third-tier title.
After a ninth-placed finish in their first season back in the Championship, missing out on the play-off places by just three points, the Addicks have had a tough time on and off the pitch since.
Businessman Roland Duchatelet completed a takeover of the south-east London club in January 2014 but the Belgian, along with chief executive Katrien Meire, have been the subject of a number of protests from Charlton fans this season.
Supporters threw beach balls on to the pitch and blew whistles during their 2-0 win against Middlesbrough on 13 March and threw stress balls on the pitch in their 2-1 victory against Birmingham City on 2 April.
Charlton head coach Jose Riga told BBC Radio London:

"We were not at the level that we had to be today. Today, you feel the atmosphere, you feel it was very heavy for us.
"The situation at the club psychologically, certainly we were missing what we normally need in this kind of game.
"After that, we were missing almost everything on the pitch. Accuracy was not there, taking the right option, a lot of things.
"But of course, it's not today that things don't happen, it's earlier in the season and not just this game against Bolton."

Belgian prosecutors say a man arrested on Friday has admitted being the "man in the hat" seen with the bombers who attacked a Brussels airport.

They say Mohamed Abrini told investigators he was at the scene of the 22 March suicide bombings.
Abrini is also wanted in connection with the attacks in Paris that killed 130 people in November.
He is one of six men arrested in Brussels on Friday. Four have been charged with terror offences.
The attacks at Zaventem airport and a metro station in Brussels left 32 people dead.
Officials believe those who carried out the Brussels and Paris attacks were part of the same network backed by so-called Islamic State.
Abrini, a 31-year-old Belgian of Moroccan origin, confessed to being the "man in the hat" after being confronted with the evidence, the federal prosecutor said.
"He said that he threw away his jacket in a rubbish bin and sold his hat after the attack," the statement added.
There is no word from the suspect himself or his lawyer.
Abrini's fingerprints and DNA were found in two "safe houses" in Brussels, as well as in a car used during the Paris attacks, investigators said earlier.
The BBC's Damian Grammaticas, in Brussels, says the apparent confirmation that Abrini is the man seen in the airport footage is a "huge" development for Belgian authorities, whose response to terrorism has come in for criticism.
The other suspects charged on Saturday were named as Osama K, Herve BN, and Bilal EM.
They are all accused of "participating in terrorist acts'' linked to the Brussels bombings. Two other people arrested on Friday have been released.
Osama K, identified in media reports as Swedish national Osama Krayem, was the man seen with the suicide bomber at Maelbeek metro station just before the attack on 22 March, investigators say.
They also say that he bought bags used by the two bombers who struck at Zaventem airport on the same day.
Osama K is believed to have entered Greece from Syria with migrants last year, using a fake Syrian passport. Prosecutors believe he was driven from Germany to Belgium by Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam in October.
Herve BM, described as a Rwandan national, and Bilal EM are both suspected of having offered assistance to Abrini and Osama K.
Abrini is thought to have been filmed at a petrol station with Abdeslam two days before the attacks in Paris in November.
Abdeslam, a Belgian-born French national of Moroccan descent, was detained in Brussels in March, days before the attacks in the Belgian capital.
The latest charges follow days of arrests and raids in Brussels.
On Saturday, heavily armed police carried out a search in the Etterbeek area of Brussels. The target was a flat which police believe may have been used as a safe house by the militants.


A film based on the diary entries of the late Welsh actor Richard Burton will get its premiere on Tuesday.

More than 40 college students used his original writings to show what life was like in 1930s Port Talbot through the eyes of a global icon.
They learned about Burton's rags to riches story, and how he had to sell manure to afford to go to the cinema.
The project received Â£34,000 National Lottery funding and the film will be shown at Nidum Arts Centre in Neath.
Burton was a prolific diarist, and wrote more than 400,000 words in pocketbooks and desk diaries until just before his death aged 58 in 1984.
As part of their research, the students visited landmarks that were important to the young Burton and watched films which were showing in cinemas at the time.
They learned that in order to have enough money to go to the cinema, Burton had to collect newspaper wrappings for his fishmonger aunt and sell dung for fertiliser.
The students also interviewed people who knew Burton, and those who were inspired by him, including Port Talbot actor and Hollywood star Michael Sheen.
It is hoped their film will not only become a lasting resource for the community, but may also lead to a regular celebratory event to promote the area's creative talent - past and present.
Dominic, 16, who took part in the project, said: "There are so many episodes in Richard Burton's life that became turning points, each taking him in a different direction.
"It has made us think about the turning points in our own lives, and how we deal with them."
Eirwen Hopkins of Swansea University, who leads the Burton@14 project, said: "The young people quickly realised that some people in Port Talbot have little idea of the real man, despite hailing from the same streets as he walked.
"Burton's stardom left a huge legacy for the town, but the town also impacted strongly on him.
"His private diaries have reconnected local young people with the history of personal, social and artistic change that is right on their doorsteps and rekindled their own creativity in the process."


Legislation on the Welsh replacement for stamp duty land tax - the first new Welsh tax law for almost 800 years - has entered the statute books.

The law, which has been given Royal Assent, establishes a new land transaction tax, which will replace stamp duty from April 2018.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said the act was a "significant step" for devolution.
Rates of the new tax are due to be announced by October this year.
Assembly members approved the Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Bill earlier in the year.
Stamp duty is paid when property or land is bought over a certain price.
Officials previously said that the document was the longest piece of legislation Welsh ministers have produced.


Former Manchester United and Scotland footballer Denis Law has described being awarded a CBE at Buckingham Palace as "fantastic".

The 76-year-old was given the honour for his services to football and charity.
Aberdeen-born Law, who scored 237 goals during his time at United, said the royal recognition was unexpected.
The player rounded off his career by representing Scotland at the 1974 World Cup in West Germany.
Speaking after the ceremony he said: "I just think this is the type of honour that goes to other people. You do not expect to get something like this. It's fantastic."
He said he enjoyed some brief football-related banter with the Duke of Cambridge, who is an Aston Villa supporter.
The footballer said: "The conversation was a bit short because they (Aston Villa) are bottom of the league and things are not going well but the thing is, when you're a supporter you will support your team wherever they are. So I was glad that he supports them, because that's his team."
Law was one third of what became known as Manchester United's Holy Trinity, when he played alongside George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton during his 11-year stint with the Red Devils.
He left Manchester United in 1973 to return to Manchester City, where his 81st-minute back-heeled goal confirmed United's relegation from the top flight.


(Close): The London market shrugged off early losses to close higher, helped by gains in bottling firm Coca-Cola HBC and travel firm Tui.

The benchmark FTSE 100 index closed up 48.29 points, or 0.7%, to 6,914.71.
Tui shares rose 2.8% to 1041p as it reaffirmed profit forecasts despite a difficult year for the travel industry.
It said third-quarter revenues fell 5.7% due to falling bookings to North Africa and Turkey, and the impact of terror attacks in Europe.
However, the company said there had been "no apparent slowdown" in UK bookings following the Brexit vote.
Tui said underlying earnings grew 1% in the quarter, and it still expected underlying profits for the full year to grow by at least 10%.
The top riser on the FTSE 100 was the bottling firm Coca-Cola HBC after it reported better than expected results. Profit rose 4.8% to €229.6m (£197m) in the first half of the year and it forecast stronger sales growth for the year ahead.
Shares closed up 7% to 1681p.
In the FTSE 250, furniture chain DFS rose 15% after it said full-year revenues rose 7% and added it expected "a record performance for the full year with results towards the upper end of market expectations".
But shares in Card Factory fell 6.7% after its latest trading update. The retailer said the retail environment in the first half of the year had been "challenging", but said it was "confident" of meeting analysts'  expectations for full-year profits.
On the currency markets, the pound lost 0.35% against the dollar to $1.2964 but and fell 0.3% against the euro to €1.1606.


Young people are being lured into fake apprenticeships, only to find out later they are unqualified, say businesses and bona fide training providers.

These schemes can leave students out of work, according to responses to a consultation on plans to give apprenticeships legal protection.
A planned government crackdown will include powers to prosecute trainers who misuse the term "apprenticeship".
Apprenticeships need similar controls to university degrees, say ministers.
"Everyone knows what a university degree means," said Skills Minister Nick Boles.
"It's an official title. Young people doing apprenticeships should get the same level of distinction."
The government response follows the introduction of the Enterprise Bill, which includes a clause on prosecuting providers who claim to be offering apprenticeships but in fact offer only low-level training.
The word "apprenticeship" would be defined in law "to ensure people get the best training and opportunities", said Mr Boles.
Too many young people are entering industry only part qualified and without adequate learning, work based experience and practical skills, says the government.
Some have to find new employers to achieve complete a full apprenticeship.
Anyone offering fake or low-quality apprenticeship training could face a fine and prosecution in a magistrates' court if the bill becomes law as it stands.
The government's consultation on protecting the term "apprenticeship" ran in August and received more than 90 responses from employers, private training providers, colleges, universities and schools as well as from apprentices themselves.
Two-fifths said they were aware of the term being misused, among them the building company Balfour Beatty and a family firm of electricians from Milton Keynes.
Ruth Devine, director of SJD Electrical, said a number of applicants to the firm who thought they had completed apprenticeships, had been surprised to find  they had not been fully qualified.
"Protecting the term 'apprenticeship' will help us attract the most able individuals and offer a guarantee to apprentices that they will receive world-class training," said Ms Devine.
"Low quality training courses contribute to the many instances of poor workmanship we come across."
Leo Quinn, Balfour Beatty Group chief executive, said he hoped the change would encourage businesses to invest in apprenticeships.
"Our industry needs talent and skills, therefore it is crucial that apprenticeships remain world-class so that we can continue to attract the best and brightest individuals," he said.
David Corke, director of education and skills policy at the Association of Colleges, backed moves to "protect the apprenticeship brand" and maintain quality "so that young people receive the education and training they need to play a significant role in the workplace".
He added: "Colleges work closely with employers to make sure apprentices have a good experience and that the employer receives an employee who is well qualified for the role."


Among Pyongyang's recent inflated threats, the announced intention to "readjust and restart" its nuclear facilities is the most worrisome.

If implemented, North Korea will be producing both kinds of fissile material that can create nuclear explosions: plutonium and highly enriched uranium.
The handful of nuclear weapons - from four to 10 - that North Korea presumably already possesses are based on plutonium that was produced at the small 5MW reactor at Yongbyon prior to mid-2007.
Whether it also has uranium weapons is unknown.
Why North Korea abandoned the plutonium program and instead prioritised uranium enrichment has been a mystery.
There are two presumed reasons:
But why has North Korea not restarted the plutonium programme during the past several years when it has taken so many other provocative steps in the nuclear and missile areas?
One cannot rule out the possibility that six years of idleness have rendered the reactor inoperable.
Yet Stanford University nuclear scientist Siegfried Hecker reported in 2010 that the reactor was being maintained.
His judgement that six months would be required for re-start is probably still correct.
A new cooling tower or an alternative cooling system would have to be built and a fresh fuel load would have to be prepared by resizing and cladding a stash of fuel rods that were prepared many years ago for a different reactor project.
It is conceivable that, out of sight of prying satellites, North Korea has already refashioned the fuel rods, but work on the cooling system would be observable and no such unusual activity has been reported.
The status of the enrichment programme is less clear.
When Hecker was shown a 2,000-centrifuge plant in November 2010, he could not tell if it was operating at all, let alone producing low-enriched uranium for fuel purposes, as claimed.
Pyongyang's latest announcement might mean that the facility will now be used to produce highly enriched uranium, although it is widely assumed that North Korea already has other facilities for that purpose.
The new element in the announcement is North Korea's acknowledgement that the uranium enrichment is for weapons use.
Until now, Pyongyang had clung to the transparent fiction that it only had a peaceful rationale.
If the latest threats are carried out, the plutonium and uranium enrichment programs could each produce one or two weapons' worth of fissile material a year, and maybe more, depending on the size of hidden enrichment plants.
There could be worse to come.
The prototype light-water reactor that North Korea is constructing at Yongbyon, and which requires enriched-uranium fuel, could add to the fissile material stockpile when it is completed, possibly by the end of the year.
That reactor type is not ideal for producing weapons-grade plutonium, but all reactors produce plutonium that could be used in a nuclear explosion.
The UN sanctions on North Korea and the tighter measures adopted by the US, EU and several other countries are designed in part to stem the flow of materials and components for North Korea's strategic weapons programmes.
Given China's inattention to implementation, the sanctions are leaky at best.
In any case, North Korea is by now self-sufficient in most aspects of its nuclear programme.
Unless the 5MW reactor has rusted out, it can be brought into line without any foreign assistance.
Unfortunately, there are no good solutions.
The only glimmer of hope is that North Korea also announced that along with the nuclear weapons work it will simultaneously be pushing forward economic development.
The latter, however, precludes any of the foreign trade and aid that will be required if North Korea is to escape its poverty.
If leader Kim Jong-un learned anything from his youthful years in Switzerland, let us hope that he picked up something about economics.

We've been hearing this week about how oversupply in the steel industry is costing jobs in the UK.

18 January 2016 Last updated at 23:26 GMT
But it's also hitting workers in China, which releases its latest economic growth figures on Tuesday. Many are speculating they'll be the slowest in years.
China's economy has been hit by shrinking foreign and domestic demand, weak investment, factory overcapacity and and oversupply in the property market.
The country's central bank has already cut interest rates six times since November 2014, and the currency has depreciated too.
Stephen Evans reports on how the country's slowdown is being felt in the steel industry.


A Moscow restaurant calling itself "NKVD" - a chilling echo of the Stalin-era communist terror - drew social media protests and the big sign outside has now been taken down.

Restaurant staff told the BBC they did not know who had removed the letters.
The NKVD was the forerunner of the Soviet KGB secret police. In the 1930s and 1940s the NKVD arrested millions of people and many were executed.
The restaurant sports a big portrait of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
Stalin's image also featured on the restaurant's menus, but when the BBC visited on Tuesday the barman said the management had told the staff to remove the menus "for now until we get the sign back".
"Look at the wall, the sign was just ripped off," he said, without giving his name.
The restaurant is not far from the Kremlin and the old secret police headquarters, on Ostozhenka Street.
The controversy over the "NKVD" name featured in Russian Vesti TV news - one of the main broadcasts on the state-controlled Rossiya 24 channel.
Restaurant staff told the BBC that the letters stood for "national cuisine of a great power" in Russian - not for Stalin's secret police.
The barman strongly defended the "NKVD" name.
"I really hope we put it back. Why not? People ask us why NKVD, but why not? It's NKVD and not Gestapo," he said.
But some Russians voiced alarm at what appeared to be more whitewashing of history and an insult to Stalin's many victims.
Public displays of Stalin portraits were taboo in the last decades of the Soviet Union - but they have reappeared in President Vladimir Putin's Russia.
Mr Putin has emphasised the sacrifices made by the USSR in World War Two. But he has also acknowledged that Stalin's security apparatus committed terrible crimes.
The NKVD name was possibly an ill-conceived publicity stunt, says the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Moscow.
The sign caused a stir when human rights lawyer Mark Feygin tweeted a photo of it on 9 December.
Leonid Gozman, of the Russian civil society organisation, Perspektiva Foundation, said "it's a rehabilitation of our country's most tragic episodes.
"I can't imagine a 'Gestapo' restaurant in Munich or Berlin... A lot of our people consider the NKVD to have been a criminal organisation. Many people's relatives suffered or died [in that period]."
One Russian Facebook user, called Therese Philosophe, gave details of four Soviet terror victims who had lived at the address where the restaurant now stands.


The Lawn Tennis Association has failed to persuade Florence and the Machine to change the date of their show at the Manchester Arena so the venue could host Britain's Davis Cup semi-final.

Glasgow's Emirates Arena is now expected to stage Team GB's meeting with Australia from 18-20 September.
The LTA also looked into holding the tie at the Hydro in Glasgow but found the roof would not be high enough.
Andy Murray helped Team GB beat France in the quarter-final at Queen's Club.
The LTA's chief executive Michael Downey has had "several conversations" with Florence's agent, but was told her gig at Manchester Arena - which has a capacity of over 20,000 - on the Friday of Britain's Davis Cup semi-final must go ahead as planned.
The LTA has been granted an extra five days to nominate a venue for the tie, with Glasgow now expected to be confirmed before next Wednesday's deadline.
The Emirates staged Britain's first-round victory over the United States, and a plan is in place to expand the capacity of the arena to 9,000 in time for the semi-final.


Nigel Farage has accused Downing Street of putting its dislike of him ahead of the national interest after No 10 dismissed Donald Trump's comment that he could be a "great" ambassador.

The UKIP leader said No 10 needed to accept "the world has changed", adding he was "in a good position, with the president-elect's support, to help".
Mr Trump had tweeted that "many people" would like to see Mr Farage in the role and he would do a "great job".
But No 10 said there was "no vacancy".
The role is currently held by Sir Kim Darroch and a spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May added that he was "an excellent ambassador who only took up post in January and traditionally they serve four years or even longer".
Mr Farage, who is currently UKIP interim leader, was the first British politician to meet Mr Trump after his victory in the US presidential elections and spoke in support of him at an election rally.
Writing for Breitbart website, whose former executive chairman Stephen Bannon has been appointed Mr Trump's chief strategist, he said: "At every stage I am greeted by negative comments coming out of Downing Street.
"The dislike of me, UKIP, and the referendum result is more important to them than what could be good for our country."
Mr Farage said politicians who had been "openly abusive about Trump now pretend to be his friend".
He wrote: "It is career politics at its worst and it is now getting in the way of the national interest.
"I have said since the now famous photograph with Donald Trump 10 days ago that I would do anything to help our national interest and to help cement ties with the incoming Anglophile administration.
"I have known several of the Trump team for years and I am in a good position with the president-elect's support to help. The world has changed and it's time that Downing Street did too."
By Jon Sopel, BBC North America editor
By any measure this is an extraordinary intervention.
The future head of state of one nation telling another country who they should appoint as their ambassador is unusual enough; when it is two nations that are meant to share a special relationship it is a breach of nearly every rule of diplomatic protocol.
At a stroke it puts tension into the Trump/ May relationship before they have even met.
It also leaves the current holder of the post, Sir Kim Darroch, in an awkward position as he seeks to forge closer contacts with the new administration.
In Downing Street and diplomatic circles there is consternation.
But for Nigel Farage - who has always delighted in tweaking the tail of the Conservative Party - there will be amusement, and it seems in the future leader of the most powerful nation on earth he has a willing partner.
Since Mr Trump's election there has been an anticipation that the rule book might not be followed. Few anticipated this though.
The president-elect's meeting with Mr Farage was seen by some as a snub to Mrs May, who will not meet Mr Trump until early next year.
Mr Trump has spoken to the prime minister by phone and there have been other contacts between British ministers and representatives of the incoming administration.
The Downing Street spokesman said the UK already had "an incredibly strong and enduring relationship with America" and the government would build on that once Mr Trump takes office.
"As a basic principle we appoint our ambassadors," he added.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson reiterated that there was "no vacancy".
Speaking in the House of Commons, he said: "We have a first-rate ambassador in Washington doing a very good job of relating both with the present administration and the administration to be and there is no vacancy for that position."
Sir Christopher Meyer, the former UK ambassador to the US, told the BBC: "We the UK must have the sovereign right to decide who we want as ambassador in Washington and I think it's completely unprecedented, certainly in public, for a president-elect to suggest who he would like to see as British ambassador in Washington.
"I think we can hear his suggestion and then we reject it politely but firmly."
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron tweeted that the suggestion of Mr Farage as UK ambassador to the US was a "frankly stupid idea".
He added: "I have more diplomacy in my little finger. But what's more worrying is the axing of TPP."
Mr Farron was referring to Mr Trump's announcement that he would quit the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal on his first day in office.


Marks and Spencer is planning to cut about 525 head office jobs as part of an estimated £30m in cost savings.

New M&S boss Steve Rowe is making the cuts amid pressure to improve results at the struggling retailer.
Mr Rowe, who took over in April, said the job losses were "necessary" to build a different type of M&S.
Many of the affected roles will be across its three London offices. It also plans to move 400 jobs in IT and logistics outside the capital.
Of the 525 job losses, about 260 will be permanent roles and the rest contractors, the company said.
Mr Rowe said: "It is never easy to propose changes that impact on our people, but I believe that the proposals outlined today are absolutely necessary and will help us build a different type of M&S - one that can take bolder, pacier decisions, be more profitable and ultimately better serve our customers."
Analysis: Emma Simpson, BBC business correspondent:
Steve Rowe has wasted no time as he tries to revive the fortunes of Marks and Spencer. The M&S veteran took over as chief executive in April and he quickly restructured his top team, with the loss of a number of directors.
He also set up a smaller, leaner, Operating Committee to run the 132 year old firm. Now it's the turn of head office.
Mr Rowe is also expected to reveal in November his strategy on Marks and Spencer's large portfolio of stores and whether there are too many of them.
Marks is a big, bureaucratic business. Mr Rowe wants to simplify things. For a man who was worked his way up from the shop floor, these are painful decisions to have to make.
M&S employs over 71,000 people in the UK, of which 3,500 are currently in its seven UK head offices.
Separately, the retailer announced on Friday that workers would receive a 14.7% pay rise after staff protested against plans by Mr Rowe to change the company's pay and pension scheme.
The retailer said shop floor staff would receive £8.50 an hour, and £9.65 in London, from next April.


Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley has been threatened with being in contempt of Parliament after failing to appear in front of a committee of MPs.

Mr Ashley had been asked to give evidence about the treatment of his workers.
It follows a BBC investigation into the Derbyshire company's warehouse working practises.
Mr Ashley has until 21 March to respond after a letter from Hartlepool MP Iain Wright.
The letter reveals Mr Ashley had invited the Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) select committee - which Mr Wright chairs - to a meeting at the company's base in Shirebrook.
"The treatment of low-paid workers and enforcement of the national minimum wage are issues that the committee will be keeping under review over the coming months," Mr Wright's letter states.
"In line with select committees' commitment to transparency, it is normal practice for the BIS Committee to meet in public at Westminster and we agreed to adhere to this practice on this occasion.
"A number of alternative dates have been offered to you by the Committee Clerk, but... you have not accepted any of them, nor agreed in principle to attend.
"Should you fail in your reply to agree to attend on one of the dates offered to you...the committee reserves the right to take the matter further, including seeking the support of the House of Commons in respect of any complaint of contempt."
Sports Direct has not responded to the BBC's request for a comment.
The company has previously pledged to review worker rights, with oversight by Mr Ashley, who also owns Newcastle United Football Club.


Former England opener Marcus Trescothick has signed a one-year contract to keep him at Somerset until the end of the 2017 season.

The 40-year-old made his first-class debut in 1993 and has made more than 800 appearances for the county.
Trescothick played 76 Tests, 123 one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches for England.
"I'm really enjoying my cricket and I still have the hunger to succeed," Trescothick told the club website.
"I have made no secret of my desire to carry on playing for Somerset for as long as I can.
"It's a really exciting time for the county at the moment with the talent that we have coming through and I can't wait to see what happens in the next 12 months."
The 2017 season will be the 25th that Trescothick has been involved with the first team.

Silicon Valley didn't happen by accident.

A terrific new exhibition has opened in Washington DC's National Museum of American History, and in it, a section dedicated to the area on the US west coast which is synonymous with cutting-edge technology.
The display details the trailblazing chip companies blending with hippy counter-culture to make the ideal mix for innovation and entrepreneurship to thrive.
It was this secret sauce - pushed on by military investment and subsidies for companies making technology that helped the US armed forces - that provided the spark for the biggest and most powerful technology hub in the world.
But for how long?
"San Francisco, centre of the universe," said Satya Nadella, the chief executive of Microsoft, as we sat down to film a BBC interview that will air soon.
"Rome also felt like that one day. Everything has a time."
He's perhaps slightly biased - Microsoft is based in Seattle, not San Francisco - but he does share the sentiment of many who wonder if the elements that made Silicon Valley happen no longer exist.
"You should go to Shanghai," Mr Nadella said, on my first day in the new job. Ah.
But Silicon Valley has a track record of keeping things going strong. The late nineties dotcom crash hit the companies here hard, but many - like Amazon and Cisco - are still here, surpassing all valuation expectations.
Here, the talk is of "unicorns", start-ups that are valued at more than $1bn. How this is judged is as mysterious as the unicorn itself - it's not about profit, just simply how much money others are willing to throw at a company.
Calling these firms unicorns is perhaps pretty apt - their numbers are often complete fantasy, built on excitement and buzz and not much else. But still the money comes, fuelled by a paranoia here of missing the "next Facebook" (although these days they're more likely to say the "next Snapchat").
Warnings of another crash have been in the air ever since the last one - but those fears haven't been realised.
More likely is that Silicon Valley will be a victim of its own success - products created here have given us the ability to communicate and work over long distances better than ever before. Geographical location is becoming somewhat irrelevant.
And so other parts of the world are muscling in, and have been for some time. There's Berlin, Tel Aviv, and New York, to name a few. London finds itself with an advantage given the proximity of its tech hub, in east London, to the City of London and its bankers. No wonder the British government is putting extra effort into supporting the development of financial technology - Fintech.
And then of course there's China - a place that is increasingly turning to technology design and innovation rather than simply manufacturing.
But not so fast.
Never a place to be outdone, Silicon Valley is again heading in a new direction. Some of the most exciting, and indeed terrifying, innovations are being worked on here. It's the testing bed for driverless cars, for new types of trains, for robotics.
It's a place that is perhaps slowly learning to laugh at itself, shedding some of its image as somewhere that operates in a different reality. HBO's sitcom, Silicon Valley, has nailed the "it's funny because it's true" approach.
Silicon Valley will be in good health as long as good people with good ideas flock here.
"The American sense of hope and enthusiasm is extremely contagious and when you're beginning your start-up you're trying to pull off the impossible," said Robyn Exton, a Brit who took her start-up, Her, to San Francisco in 2015.
I'd met Robyn in 2014 at a London tech event, where she was trying to get her lesbian dating app, then called Dattch, off the ground. Even with London's efforts in building its start-up scene, it's a sign of Silicon Valley's continued power that means people like Robyn will continue to make the move.
This is, if you hadn't noticed, a rather elaborate way of welcoming you to this blog - a place where I'll be covering the twists and turns of the technology industry in North America. Based in the beating heart of it all, San Francisco.
For while there are contenders for Silicon Valley's crown, there's still no place quite like it.

Christian militia in the Central African Republic have attacked United Nations peacekeepers who were protecting a convoy of water trucks.

One Moroccan UN soldier was killed and three others injured.
The attack took place in the southern diamond-mining town of Bangassou.
Christian militia have been attempting to seize a cathedral housing hundreds of displaced Muslims, who have been sheltering in the compound since a wave of ethnic killings in May.
The Red Cross said it found 115 bodies in the town after those attacks, when the rival religious groups clashed.
"They died in various ways: from knives, from clubs and bullet wounds," a Red Cross representative told Reuters news agency at the time.
The wider conflict has killed thousands of people.
It broke out when mainly Muslim Seleka rebels ousted President Francois Bozize four years ago, provoking a backlash from the Christian militias.


A shocked man was left in a spin after discovering a snake slithering under his washing machine.

Jemima, a 3ft (1m) corn snake, was spotted in a flat in Leighton Buzzard.
The RSPCA carried out a tricky rescue involving moving the machine. After Jemima bolted into the wall, they had to remove the skirting boards.
The snake belonged to a neighbour and had been missing for three months. It is thought she kept warm living inside the insulated wall of the flat.
More news from Bedfordshire
Kate Wright, from the RSPCA, was called to the Bedfordshire flat at about 04:00 BST on Thursday.
Having rescued the "healthy-looking" adult snake she knocked on nearby doors until she found Jemima's relieved owner, Colin Millar.
"Jemima went missing at Easter and I'd pretty much given up on ever finding her. I looked everywhere I could think of," he said.
"It is remarkable that Jemima has managed to survive and be returned reasonably healthy. She must have been insulated in the walls of the building."
"We're so pleased she's home," Mr Millar added.
Corn snakes, which are not venomous, are native to parts of North America and can grow up to 6ft (1.8m).
