Jose Fernandez, a pitcher for the Miami Marlins baseball team, has died in a boat crash at the age of 24.

The US Coast Guard said Fernandez was one of three people killed in the crash on Sunday, off Miami Beach, Florida.
A scheduled Marlins home game against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday has been cancelled.
The club said it was "devastated by the tragic loss of Jose Fernandez. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very difficult time".
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Todd Garofalo told local news station WSVN: "They found a boat that was up against the jetties. They did do an initial search and they found three victims - two on top of the water, one underneath the boat and they had unfortunately passed away."
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said the 32-foot vessel had a "severe impact" with large rocks that form part of the jetty.
The names of the other two individuals are being withheld until their relatives can be informed, the Coast Guard said.
Fernandez shared a picture on Instagram five days ago which appears to show his girlfriend Carla Mendoza pregnant.
The caption reads: "I'm so glad you came into my life. I'm ready for where this journey is gonna take us together. #familyfirst."
Rick Scott, the governor of Florida, shared on Twitter a picture of he and Fernandez and wrote: "I had the opportunity to meet Jose Fernandez in 2014. Our prayers are with his family and the Miami Marlins."
Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price said: "Hands down one of my favourite guys to watch pitch! He brought nothing but intensity and passion."
The Major League Baseball organisation released a statement saying it was "stunned and devastated" by the news.
Fernandez was the club's first-round draft pick in 2011 and was finishing up on his finest season in the major league, the Miami Herald reported.
He was born in Santa Clara in Cuba and attempted to defect to the US three times - once ending up in jail - before making it to Florida when he was 16. He made his debut for the Marlins in 2013.


Images of four people who helped during the 1989 Hillsborough disaster have been released as part of long-running witness appeal.

Ninety-six football fans died after a crush during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989.
The pictures were published by the team investigating the stadium disaster.
Images of more than 100 people present at the match have now been released during several previous appeals.
Forty-one people have been identified.
Photographs of a further 59 people yet to be traced can be seen on the Operation Resolve website.
New inquests into the disaster are being held in Warrington, Cheshire.

"Zayn" - not his real name - said girls as young a 14 would be taken to locations including parks and side streets and sexually assaulted by up to three men at a time.
He said the majority of the girls were from the Pakistani community.
He told the BBC's Asian Network the memories "haunt me to this day" and said he regretted not speaking out sooner.


Ospreys back Dan Evans scored a hat-trick of tries as they came from behind to beat Zebre in the Pro12 and keep the pressure on leaders Munster.

The hosts dominated early on and led 10-0 through Tommaso Boni's try and the kicking of Guglielmo Palazzani.
Ashley Beck crossed to claw Ospreys back in it at the break while Dan Evans scored two quick tries on the return,
Evans touched down again to seal his hat-trick and an Ospreys bonus point before Dafydd Howells' late try.
The result means Ospreys have now won their last six Pro12 games on the bounce while Zebre remain bottom of the table.
Ospreys were without 14 players away on international duty and were given a scare in the first half when the hosts looked comfortable against the in-form Pro12 side.
Zebre, on the other hand, were without 12 players on Six Nations duty with Italy, but centre Boni and back-rower Federico Ruzza started after being released from the Italy squad.
The visitors, who came to Parma on the back of a 12-game winning run in all competitions, had looked like their fine run of form was coming to an end after Boni crossed, but Wayne Pivac's side came out in the second half with an added vigour.
Man of the match Evans scored his ninth try of the season while Sam Parry and Howells also got on the scoresheet to round off a comprehensive victory and keep Zebre scoreless in the second half.
Zebre: Zebre: Kurt Baker, Mattia Bellini, Tommaso Boni, Matteo Pratichetti, Lloys Greeff, Serafin Bordoli, Guglielmo Palazzani; Federico Ruzz, Johan Meyer, Derick Minnie, Valerio Bernabo, Quintin Geldenhuys (captain), Guillermo Roan, Oliviero Fabiani, Bruno Postiglioni.

Productivity is a measure of how much stuff is getting produced for each hour that people work and it's enormously important.

Improvements in living standards and average earnings tend to come from increased productivity.
In the UK, productivity has only just returned to its pre-crisis level. But it is still almost a fifth lower than in the rest of the G7 advanced economies and almost a third lower than in France the US and Germany.
So what are some of the parties planning to do about it?
The Conservative plan for productivity is mainly the introduction of a National Productivity Investment Fund.
Solving the productivity puzzle is tricky - there's no definite way of doing it, but the Tories plan to spend money on housing, research and development, economic infrastructure and skills.
The specifics are £740m on digital infrastructure (that's things like broadband), £1.1bn to improve local transport, £250m on skills training by the end of 2020 and more investment in railways.
The spending is all meant to add up to £23bn by the end of the parliament, but there are no other details of what it will be spent on.
Labour's solution to the productivity problem is via its industrial strategy.
It has undertaken by 2030 to:
It plans to promote skills through its National Education Service and improve infrastructure by investing £250bn in it over the next decade.
The LibDem manifesto does not specifically mention productivity, but it's promising investment in many of the same areas as the Conservatives and Labour.
It's planning to:
There's nothing about productivity in the Green manifesto, but the big idea is the introduction of a four-day working week up to a maximum of 35 hours.
Caroline Lucas told the Andrew Marr Show last month: "I think there's a lot of evidence that suggests that when people are exhausted their productivity goes down."
Everyone would be assured a living wage and the Greens would also take steps towards the introduction of a universal basic income.

Championship side Swinton knocked Super League strugglers Huddersfield Giants out of the Challenge Cup fifth round.

Giants, who have failed to win any of their past eight league matches, were undone by Luke Waterworth's 76th-minute try in a topsy-turvy match.
Shaun Robinson, Rhodri Lloyd, Connor Dwyer and Mike Butt also crossed for the part-time Lions, who have only won two league matches in 2017.
Aaron Murphy and Sam Wood were among those to cross for Giants.
Darnell McIntosh and Ollie Roberts also went over for the hosts, but the final whistle was met by boos from the home fans.
Huddersfield were the second top-flight club to lose to Championship opponents in round five, following Hull KR's win over Leigh on Saturday.
Elsewhere in the Challenge Cup on Sunday, Super League side Salford overcame Toronto Wolfpack 29-22.
Dewsbury, Featherstone, Halifax and Barrow also won to book their places in Tuesday's sixth-round draw, which will be broadcast live on the BBC News Channel (18:30 BST).
Swinton head coach John Duffy revealed after the game that his side only had 15 fit players on Saturday, before giving debuts to on-loan Wigan pair Josh Woods and Caine Barnes and out-of-contract Liam Carberry.
"It was a massive achievement for the club but everything goes on the players and the medical staff today - nothing to do with the coaching staff," said Duffy.
"I'd like to thank our medical staff for doing a great job over the last couple of weeks. They have turned it around for us and the boys really dug deep."
Giants had gone into the break 18-16 ahead, after Murphy went over down the left, Wood cut inside to score and McIntosh finished a grubber kick.
However, Rick Stone's side, without around 10 first-teamers, have only won twice all season in the top flight and cracks began to show as Dwyer's score helped put the visitors ahead for the second time in the match, having led 10-6 at one point during the first half.
Giants were back in front when the ball was spread right to Roberts and he found a gap to score, before Waterworth crossed over to send the second-tier side through to the sixth round.
Stone said: "The Championship is full of hardened pros who have been around the block and know know to win games, and we saw a bit of that today.
"There's no denying that is a massive blow for us and everyone is very disappointed - you can feel it.
"There were a few senior players out today and a few long-term injuries and those with niggles, but we had a good enough team out to win but we didn't."
Huddersfield: McIntosh; Simpson, S Wood, Mellor, Murphy; Gaskell, Farrell; Rapira, Leeming, Mason, Smith, Roberts, Dickinson.
Replacements: Wakeman, Ikahihifo, English, O'Brien.
Swinton: White; Robinson, Hankinson, Lloyd, Butt; Woods, Atkin; Bracek, Waterworth, Lever, Dwyer, Jones, Austin.
Replacements: Gore, Bate, Barnes, Carberry.

Durham are in talks with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) following claims they could face a points deduction for receiving financial support from the governing body.

Advanced payments were made to Durham by the ECB in May 2016 to ensure the club could carry on playing.
The monies related to fees for staging the Sri Lanka Test later that month.
"Talks continue with the ECB in relation to securing a long-term future," a Durham statement read.
The county finished fourth in County Championship Division One.
It would need a deduction of 46 or more points to push Durham into a relegation place, thus either reprieving eighth-placed Hampshire from relegation, or giving Division Two runners-up Kent a pathway to the upper tier.
Hampshire chairman Rod Bransgrove told BBC Radio Solent: "I think that if they're penalised, that relegation is the right move for them.
"I don't want to see the back of Durham. I've got no problem with the ECB doing what they need to do to support the situation.
"I do feel, though, that any of us that played Durham when they were being supported were at a disadvantage."
Durham installed floodlights at their Riverside ground in Chester-le-Street in 2015, to bring the venue up to standard for the 2019 World Cup where it will be one of 10 host venues.
But this summer the team did not have an overseas player and as recently as August, chief executive David Harker reassured players and supporters the club had a sustainable future.
An ECB statement read: "It's well known that we've had several conversations throughout the season with Durham CCC about the opportunities and challenges facing the club.
"We are fully committed to supporting the game in the North East and are working closely with the club to ensure a successful and sustainable future."
Durham's England all-rounder Ben Stokes told BBC Sport he was not at the club enough this season to fully understand what was happening behind the scenes.
"There's stuff in the papers, but I don't really know what to take from that," he said.
"I'm hoping that the situation doesn't arise of us being relegated, but all we can really do as players in keep trying to win games, which is what we managed to do, and stay up in Division One."


Mohammad Amin was a family man, with a wife, four sons and five daughters.

But on 26 February, a contingent of Saudi police who broke up a party of transgender Pakistanis in Riyadh found him in women's clothes, wearing jewellery and make-up, and being addressed by others as Meeno Baji - the last name a customary title for an elder sister.
Cross-dressing is not tolerated in Saudi Arabia, so Mohammad and 34 others were rounded up and thrown in Azizia prison.
Mohammad died that night. Pakistani activists say he was beaten by policemen with clubs and hosepipes, causing his chronic heart condition to deteriorate.
The Saudi authorities were quick to deny the allegations of mistreatment, saying he had a heart attack in custody. Pakistani officials followed suit by accusing him of indulging in "illegal and immoral activities".
But Meeno's family, friends and some transgender rights activists paint a different picture of the person, and the events of that last night in Riyadh.
Meeno was born Mohammad Amin in Barikot town in Swat in 1957 to a family of tenant farmers. He had three brothers and four sisters.
At some point during his adolescent years he became a ladies' tailor with a shop in Barikot.
But unlike most transgender women from Pakistan's rural hinterland who seek anonymity by leaving home, Mohammad stuck with his family.
He married a woman from his tribe in the mid-1980s and a decade later he left for Saudi Arabia on a work visa as a ladies' tailor - a job he held for most of the rest of his life.
We can only guess at his real sexual identity. Social taboos prevent his family and childhood friends from speaking openly.
We know, however, that apart from tailoring, Meeno's favourite pastime was to hang out with the area's trans women who lived together and earned a living by dancing at wedding parties or occasional prostitution.
These activities led to discussions at home.
"He was not a 'moorata' [local slang for trans woman], but he did keep their company which created occasional tensions in the family," says his eldest son, Sar Zameen, who is married with children and also works in Saudi Arabia, as a driver.
"His parents and siblings reprimanded him; we, his children, boycotted him for a while; my mother would argue with him often.
"We would tell him that you are giving everyone a bad name; say your prayers. But he would say he couldn't give up his friends. He was not an angry man, but such talk at home often landed him in a bad mood."
Despite this, Sar Zameen remembers his father as a kind and loving person. He put Sar Zameen in an expensive school before he travelled to Saudi Arabia, at a time when he did not have much income.
He also kept the house well supplied, and was often around to offer financial support when relatives or neighbours stumbled on bad luck.
The family's only complaint, says Sar Zameen, was that "he never told us how much money he had, though many of his friends knew".
One of those friends, a local transgender woman called Spogmai (not her real name), shines some light on this.
"Meeno spent a lot of money on looking fresh and attractive," she said.
"She got an expensive facelift done at a clinic in Rawalpindi, and also took a dozen skin-whitening injections. Besides, she had several laser hair removal jobs done on her face and body. She was a beauty."
Farzana Jan, a trans woman who works with a Peshawar-based transgender rights group, Blue Veins, met Meeno in the late 1990s during the latter's first trip home from Saudi Arabia.
Farzana Jan was a dancer then, years before she became a rights activist.
"Meeno came to see me with three other friends. They were in men's clothes but their clean faces, manicured hands and made-up eyebrows gave them away. They were all from rural Swat, mostly tailors.
"They had brought me some gifts. Meeno introduced herself and said Ibrahim Ustad [a locally well-known trans woman who kept an open house for the transgender community in Swat's main city, Mingora] was her guru [guardian, in the transgender community].
"They had heard that there was a new dancer on the Peshawar circuit, and so they had come to see me. They wanted me to dance for them. When they were leaving, Meeno promised that when she came the next time, she would bring me some fine maxi dresses."
Meeno brought Farzana Jan many precious gifts on her subsequent visits, she says.
Those who knew Meeno more intimately say she had another, more secret life which others could guess at but never found out about for sure.
Spogmai said that Meeno had a 30-year love affair with a man from her native town, until that man died in 2008.
"Gul Bacha [not his real name] was a 'real' man, with a family of his own, but they were both in love with each other," she says.
They went to Saudi Arabia together, and lived together in Riyadh. When Gul died of heart failure in 2008, Meeno accompanied his body to Barikot and then did not return to Saudi Arabia for several years.
A year after Gul's death, Meeno, then 54, was diagnosed with a heart condition, unusual in a family known for longevity.
Spogmai believes Meeno took Gul's loss to heart and that, even though it was not apparent, Meeno's double life was taking its toll on her health.
During those years, Meeno would spend a lot of time with her transgender friends.
"We had a niche for ourselves in a photographer's shop in Barikot bazaar. Or sometimes I would call her over to our place in Mingora," she said.
"All friends would sit together and chat or have singing sessions. Her health had taken away her voice. She could no longer sing as well as she used to, but she would try."
Meeno tried to keep herself busy tailoring clothes at home. Two of her sons were in Saudi Arabia, which meant family money was still coming in.
But then she couldn't take life at home any more - she felt she would be more at peace with herself if she went abroad, says Spogmai. She departed in 2013.
Spogmai says that in Riyadh Meeno tried some relationships, but none succeeded. When she came back to Pakistan on her last trip in the autumn of 2015, she told her friends jokingly: "Your mother remarried, but the guy was not man enough, so we divorced."
She told them there was someone else she had her eye on, though. "She told us, 'your mother will soon marry again'. 'In which lane this time,' we would quip back, suggesting she had a potential lover in every street of the town."
In February 2016, Meeno headed back to Riyadh for what turned out to be the last time.
Farzana Jan, who is popular with the transgender community because of her social work, was kept in the loop by a transgender group who were planning a birthday party for one of the "sisters" at a guesthouse in Riyadh on 26 February 2017.
On 24 February, she received a call. "The birthday girl and another one were planning to adopt Meeno as their mother at the party and there was confusion over rituals. They wanted my advice," she says.
"They were not planning any music or dance, but some of them did wear women's clothing and jewellery and make-up."
But then came terrible news. At about 0300 on 27 February, Farzana Jan was awoken by a WhatsApp message from an unidentified caller. It contained a number of pictures of people, some in dresses, their eyes blanked with a pink marker.
"I was puzzled. I replied, asking who this was, and who were the people in those pictures. I then received a voice message stating who the people were and what had happened. I looked at the pictures again, and the faces started to become alive and familiarâ€¦"
A Riyadh-based newspaper carried a report of the arrests, but it was Farzana Jan who came out with the claim that the police had tortured everyone at the party and that at least two of them, including Meeno, had been bundled into hessian sacks and beaten with clubs.
According to initial reports provided to Farzana Jan by her contacts in Riyadh, both had died, though no evidence of a second body ever emerged.
Only Meeno's body was shipped back to Pakistan, in the second week of March.
Some transgender rights activists who have been calling for Islamabad to lodge a protest with Riyadh advised Meeno's family to allow a post-mortem of the body in Pakistan but the family refused, thereby foregoing crucial medical evidence.
One of those activists, Qamar Naseem of Blue Veins, received the body at Islamabad airport and says he had a chance to open the casket and look at Meeno's face.
"Her teeth were broken and a part of the torn upper gum was hanging loose in her mouth. I took some pictures of the face."
But in the absence of a post-mortem report, that has not impressed the authorities.
Meanwhile, the Pakistani Senate has responded to pressure from activists to form a committee to liaise with the Saudi authorities and establish how Meeno died.
But few expect a positive outcome - the two states have a "special relationship" that harbours no embarrassing spats over citizen's rights.
The facts of Meeno's death may never fully be known.
But what is clear is she spent her life torn between the necessity of being Mohammad Amin, the husband and father, and an enduring urge to be her other self.


On Friday January 15, Tim Peake will be stepping outside the International Space Station and taking a walk in space, 250 miles above earth.

He'll be the first Brit ever to do a spacewalk, but other astronauts from around the world have been spacewalking since 1965.
In honour of the occasion, we've compiled some of our favourite snaps from the history of spacewalking.
1965: On the 18th March, Russian astronaut, Alexey Leonov, made history with mankind's first ever spacewalk.
Nobody knew how the human body would react to being in space, and the equipment was nothing like the high-tech gear worn now. But Leonov made it back successfully after 12 minutes floating in space.
1965: Soon after Russia had made history with the first ever spacewalk, American astronaut, Ed White, became the first American to do the same. It was the Gemini 4 mission on June 3, 1965.
1973: Owen Garriott, became the first astronaut to spacewalk in order to fix a problem with the spacecraft, when he worked outside Skylab, America's first space station.
1984: Bruce McCandless, floated above earth on the first ever 'untethered' spacewalk, that means he drifted over 106 metres away from the spacecraft, without being attached by a rope.
He used a special jet-propelled backpack to get back to the safety of the spacecraft.
1993: Kathy Thornton worked to replace an old damaged solar panel on the Hubble Space Telescope.
2001: Someone on the ISS snapped this picture of, Scott Parazynski, as he peaked through the window of the Destiny Laboratory during his spacewalk.
2013: Sunita Williams, made repairs to the International Space Station and fixed a camera to its robotic arm.
Sunita holds the record for the woman with most spacewalks, having spent 50 hours and 40 minutes outside the spacecraft during seven spacewalks.
2015: It wasn't just here on Earth that selfies were all the rage - Commander, Scott Kelly, took this extreme selfie during a spacewalk on 28th October.
2016: ........ Good luck Tim!


The government will not intervene immediately to force pension providers to deliver on promised freedoms, the pensions minister has told the BBC.

It follows news that some providers will not allow the over 55s to withdraw money from their pension pots as they wish.
Other companies are charging hundreds of pounds for advice.
But Ros Altmann, the pensions minister, said the reforms - which started in April - must be given a chance to work.
"If things aren't working properly, we will take action," she told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"But let's give these reforms a chance; let's see how they work; the idea is right."
Under the government changes, anyone over the age of 55 now has the ability to withdraw as much money as they like from their pension savings, subject to income tax.
But some companies are refusing to offer the full range of freedoms.
Friends Life, for example, has written to 1300 customers, telling them they can either buy an annuity, or withdraw all their savings at once.
But savers are not allowed to draw down a pension, or take out smaller amounts - something which would enable pensions pots to be used like bank accounts.
The company told the BBC it was planning to offer partial withdrawals "in due course", but could not say when.
It is not compulsory for providers to offer the full range of flexibility.
However Lord McFall, a former chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, said the government ought to intervene.
He said charges for customer advice could be excessive.
"You can find that a third of the pension pot can be taken away in pension charges," he told the BBC.
However pension providers are obliged to give consumers advice in certain circumstances - particularly with older-style defined contribution schemes, and defined benefit schemes where the pot is worth more than Â£30,000.
Providing such advice can be time-consuming, so providers say they have to charge appropriately.
Ros Altmann said the government might consider capping charges, if there is evidence they are too high.
"We have powers in the legislation to impose caps on charges, and if necessary to force companies to behave much better."


Tributes have been paid to the two men who died in a crash which closed a major road in the East Midlands.

Two cars and a lorry were involved in the collision on the A52 near Nottingham on 25 November.
Father-of-three Gurdip Singh Kareer, 41, from Wollaton, was a "loving, caring family man", while Kyle O'Connor, 22, of Wollaton Vale, Nottingham, "loved everything".
Two men, aged 22 and 24, have been arrested and bailed over the crash.
The family of Mr Kareer said: "He was a loving, caring family man that always put his wife and three children Kaiden, nine , Argent, four and Tiana, 11 months, first before anything else.
"He doted on his family and everything he did was for his family. He was a loving brother, a caring son and will be very sadly missed forever - but never forgotten."
Mr O'Connor's family described him as a loving and adventurous man
"Kyle was a loved brother, son, grandson, nephew and best friend.
"Kyle loved everything and everyone around him, behind his fearlessness, strength, sense of fun and adventure, which we will hold in our hearts forever.
"As a family we would like to thank everyone who has shown love and support," they said.
There were lane closures on the road for nearly 24 hours after the accident.
Police have renewed an appeal for any witnesses and particularly dashcam footage from any vehicles which were near the scene at the time of the crash.


Companies appealing an order to stop dredging sand from Lough Neagh are seeking a lengthy extension to a key deadline.

They had until the end of November to submit an environmental report.
But now they have asked for an extra 11 months to supply it.
If the order was to be granted it would extend the appeals process.
The firms can continue extracting sand while the outcome is being decided.
The companies were ordered to stop taking sand from the bed of the lough in May.
The Department of the Environment (DoE) issued an enforcement notice because the work did not have planning permission.
About 1.7m tonnes a year are taken out using barges.
Environmentalists have said the extraction could affect bird habitats on the lough, which is an internationally recognised sanctuary with EU protection.
Solicitors for the sand companies said they have been unable to find out exactly what information the DoE wants in the environmental report.
They also said that bird surveys and food availability checks should be done over a full season, which includes next summer.
Green Party leader Steven Agnew is opposing an extension of the deadline and said sand traders had "known for many years that their activities need to be regularised".
"Little progress has been made in stopping unauthorised sand dredging on Lough Neagh to date and any further delay is unacceptable," he added.
The Planning Appeals Commission will decide whether to grant an extension.
It is expected to do so by late-October.
The extraction of sand from the lough has proven to be hugely controversial.
Earlier this month the environmental group Friends of the Earth said it was taking the DoE to court over Environment Minister Mark H Durkan's refusal to issue stop notices to the sand traders.
Unlike an enforcement notice, a stop notice cannot be appealed and can only be challenged in the courts.


Almost £2m is needed to complete repairs to Guernsey's sea defences after damage caused by the winter storms.

This includes significant work at Vazon and Fermain after both sea walls were breached.
The Environment Department has already spent its £77,000 annual budget for coastal defence maintenance.
Minister Roger Domaille said his department did not have the money and had asked the treasury to release it.
He said: "I should imagine they will say yes, if they are to say no I think they may have some problems... we'd have to take the matter to the States."
The Treasury and Resources Department has yet to comment on funding the repairs.
Last year the Environment Department was given £20m to improve coastal defences.
However, Deputy Domaille said this was earmarked to improve defences at three key areas - Belle Greve, the Bridge and Perelle - identified in a report as open to significant coastal flooding so could not be used for the repair work.


At least 200 inmates were thought to have been involved in a "riot" at HMP Bedford.

The Prison Officers Association says warnings about violence in prisons are "coming to fruition".
This followed the death of a prisoner in HMP Pentonville, the third in England and Wales since the start of 2016. How dangerous are our prisons?
Violence in prisons is on the rise, with assaults by inmates on each other and on staff increasing year on year.
There were 22,195 assaults across all prisons in England and Wales between March 2015 and March 2016.
This was the sharpest rise in the past decade, an increase of more than 31% in one year.
The prison population as at the end of March 2016 was just over 85,400, which was a slight drop on the same month the year before.
However, the rate of assaults has still increased.
The figure for 2015-16 was equivalent to 260 for every 1,000 prisoners. This compared with 198 in 2014-15.
The Chief Inspector of Prisons, Peter Clarke, has warned that prisons had become "unacceptably violent and dangerous places".
The number of officers in English and Welsh prisons has fallen by a quarter in six years.
In 2010, there were 19,908 prison officers (excluding managers and supervising officers). By March 2016, the National Offender Management Service had 14,917 officers and by June 2016 this had fallen again to 14,690. And it now means the number of assaults of all types, whether prisoner against prisoner or against officers, now outnumber the staff who have to deal with them.
There were 110 prison officers at HMP Bedford, in June 2016. This compared with 120 the year before.
The total operational staff is down from 180 to 171, including managers and supervising officers.
However, there has not been much fluctuation in recent years. In 2013, there were 110 officers and in 2014 there were 100.
The number of assaults did rise in 2015, with 100 in total, but this was still one less than in 2010.
In 2015-16, there were 321 deaths in prison custody. This is the highest figure for 10 years and 74 more than the previous year.
It works out at 3.8 deaths per 1,000 prisoners.
Five of the deaths were homicides, down from seven the year before.
Most deaths, 186, were put down to "natural causes" and 105 were "self-inflicted".
The highest rate of assaults occurred at HM Young Offenders Institution Werrington, in Staffordshire.
In 2015, there were 360 assaults. The institution has a capacity of 142, meaning two or three assaults recorded for every inmate space.
Assaults on staff in English and Welsh prisons were up 40% as well, with 5,423 incidents, compared with 3,887 the year before.
5,423
assaults in 2015-16
1,536

626 serious assaults on staff
63 assaults on staff for every 1,000 prisoners
17 more assaults per 1,000 prisoners than the year before
HMP Pentonville, a Category B prison, recorded 50 serious assaults in 2015, a big rise on the year before.
However, the overall number of assaults was down. There were 421 assaults in 2015, 74 fewer than in 2014.
421
Total assaults in 2015
36 "serious" prisoner assaults

The Ministry of Justice says it will recruit more prison officers, investing an additional Â£14m in 10 of the "most challenging" prisons.
Last week, Justice Secretary Liz Truss unveiled a White Paper detailing Â£1.3bn investment in new prisons over the next five years, and plans for 2,100 extra officers, drug tests and more autonomy for governors.


Politics is again the focus of Scotland's front pages, as newspaper editors examine the fall-out from the general election result.

Time is "running out" for Theresa May, says the Scotland on Sunday. Inside, Euan McColm says she has "neither the competence nor the authority" needed to continue as prime minister. "Her days as the occupant of 10 Downing Street are numbered," he adds.
Mrs May is "in office but not in power", says The Sunday Telegraph's headline. It reports that the resignation of her two chiefs of staff failed to halt a backlash from her MPs and she has been left increasingly "isolated and undermined".
Boris Johnson is being urged by a number of fellow ministers to oust Mrs May, according to The Sunday Times Scotland. It reports that five members of the Cabinet contacted the foreign secretary on Friday and told him they would support him in any leadership bid.
The Scottish Mail on Sunday carries a similar story, adding that Mr Johnson's supporters say he will not take any action while Mrs May remains in Downing Street - but it could be considered "destabilising" that his supporters are actively briefing about his virtues.
Mr Johnson has denied the stories however. In a tweet, he described the story as "tripe" and insisted the prime minister had his backing.
The Sunday Herald looks at the plans of the minority Conservative government to work with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). It says Theresa May is being accused of tying the government to a party "tainted with terrorism, in a desperate attempt to cling on to power".
The Sunday Mail describes it as a "toxic pact" and a "coalition of chaos". After concerns were raised about the DUP's attitudes to LGBTI issues, David Mundell - the openly gay Scottish secretary - told the paper that "you have to do business with people even if you don't agree with them".
He added: "There is absolutely no way they can influence social policy in the rest of the UK. That will not happen and it is not acceptable for that to happen."
Tory plans to scrap the pension "triple lock" could be blocked by the DUP, report The Sunday Post. Its says a party source has told the paper they would not support such a move - and as all the opposition parties oppose the change, "the plan is finished".
Meanwhile the Scottish Sun on Sunday leads with Gordon Strachan's reaction to the result of Scotland's World Cup qualifier against England. After a last minute Harry Kane goal cost Scotland a win, the teetotal manager joked: "I think this might be a good night to start drinking to be honest."


New York City's council is considering legislation to restrict where performers dressed as characters like Elmo and Spiderman can solicit business.

The costumed performers now roam freely in Manhattan's busy Times Square, the heart of the theatre district.
The council is mulling rules for pedestrian plazas after receiving complaints about aggressive behaviour.
Some working in Times Square argue that the rules would inhibit their tips.
In August, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio formed a task force to combat the proliferation of the busking street performers.
The panel recommended that street performers be roped off into designated zones.
Why Times Square's topless women may be here to stay
"Come to New York, duke it out with a superhero! Is that really what we want to be known for?" Councilmember Daniel Garodnick said.
During the hearing, a man dressed as the comic book villain the Joker, 49-year-old Keith Albahae, said he experienced harassment from tourists, being spit on.
"I defended myself by spitting back," he said. "It's not right, this is apartheid, what's being proposed here. We provide an immense entertainment. The only people who are upset basically are people who want free pictures."
Abdelamine Elkhezzani, wearing a Spider-Man costume, said he has been arrested four times in Times Square, most recently after allegedly fighting with a tourist over a tip.
"It sounds like we're criminals carrying guns and knives," he said. "They are harassing us."
In another instance, a man dressed as Cookie Monster attacked a child when his parents did not tip.
The legislation would not restrict any activity that goes in in Times Square now but would limit it to specific zones.
"We are not saying that all the people dressed in costume behave this way, but there is a consistent and ongoing issue that needs to be dealt with," said Tim Tompkins, president of the Times Square Alliance business group.
A union representing those who sells bus tour tickets is not happy with the proposed law either.
The president of Transport Workers Union Local 225, John Menshon, said he and his colleagues should not be "penalised for somebody else's aggression".
Zones would allow for 50 to 55 people at one time. If the bill passes, it would go into effect by the summer, covering all 53 pedestrian plazas in New York City.


Midfielder John Rankin has joined Queen of the South following his release by Scottish Championship rivals Falkirk.

Rankin, 33, has signed a contact until the end of next season.
"He has taken a cut in wages to join us, so that says a lot about the player and his willingness to join us," said Queens manager Gary Naysmith.
"He is a fitness fanatic who takes care of himself, so age isn't a concern to me as he is probably one of the fittest players in the division."
A former Manchester United youth player, Rankin played for Ross County, Inverness, Hibernian and Dundee United before joining Falkirk in July.
He has made more than 500 senior club appearances, scoring 48 goals, and was capped by Scotland B in 2006.
Rankin follows Dom Thomas and Joe Thomson in moving to Dumfries, with the Motherwell and Celtic players joining on loan.
"Once I spoke to John I could tell he is going to be a big help to me when it comes to bringing the young players on," Naysmith added.
"He wasn't a player that I thought I would get, but when I was speaking to [Falkirk manager] Peter Houston about the availability of other players he mentioned that John might be available and allowed us to speak to him, which is great.
"I haven't worked with him before but after doing some homework it's clear that he is highly thought of, the feedback has been good and anyone who has worked with him all say the same, that he is one of the best professionals they've worked with."


All tax offices in Wales are to close with staff expected to transfer to new centres in Cardiff and Liverpool.

HM Revenue and Customs is shutting more than 100 offices to be replaced by 13 new regional bases, with up to 3,800 employed in Cardiff.
Offices in Wrexham, Swansea, Porthmadog and the present Cardiff office at Llanishen will close.  An office in Merthyr is already due to shut in 2016.
The PCS union said the plans were "devastating" for HMRC and its staff.
HMRC Chief Executive Lin Homer said the organisation had "too many expensive, isolated and outdated offices".
"This makes it difficult for us to collaborate, modernise our ways of working, and make the changes we need to transform our service to customers and clamp down further on the minority who try to cheat the system."
HMRC said it currently had around 2,900 staff in Wales, including 350 in Wrexham, 300 in Swansea, and 20 in Porthmadog.
It said staff will be given "a range of options and will have time to consider and discuss their future" with the organisation, but it stressed it expected to employ fewer people in total.
Staff from Wrexham would be expected to relocate across the border to Liverpool, while the BBC understands the Welsh-language services will be moved from Porthmadog to Cardiff.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "No one should be in any doubt that, if implemented, these proposals would be absolutely devastating for HMRC and the people who work there.
"Closing this many offices would pose a significant threat to the operation of HMRC, its service to the public and the working lives of staff.
"The need for parliamentary scrutiny of the plans is undeniable and urgent."
Labour's Shadow Welsh Secretary Nia Griffith said the plans would mean a "major loss of quality jobs in Swansea and Wrexham".
"For all the Tories' feigned interest in the North, the reality is that they are all too quick to slash jobs and centralise offices in Cardiff, with no regard for the impact on the local economy," she said.
A Welsh government spokesman said the announcement was a "double whammy" after previous tax office closures including Carmarthen, Colwyn Bay and Pembroke Dock.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood told the Jason Mohammad programme on BBC Radio Wales she was "very concerned" about the tax office closures.
"The loss in jobs in places .... with population centres that are quite small relatively speaking, has a much bigger impact than it would in areas of a bigger size where it would still be a huge problem," she said.
Liberal Democrat economy spokeswoman Eluned Parrott called the news a "hammer blow" for many people in Wales.
"It's all very well for the Tory UK Government to claim everything is fine as a new site will open in Cardiff, but that will be no use to the people who work in the other sites across Wales."
However, Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said Wales could gain jobs as a result of the new regional centre to open in Cardiff.
"HMRC will need to convince people that the reorganisation will be able to deliver a better service, but the changes could lead to more high-quality, skilled jobs in Wales," he said.


Aston Villa caretaker manager Eric Black says he will take a hardline stance to prevent "anarchy" if they are relegated from the Premier League.

Villa have lost eight successive matches and are 15 points from safety with five games of the season left.
"They're probably going to be relegated," Black said. "This could very easily implode. It could very easily turn into anarchy.
"I'm going to try and ensure that is not the case."
He added: "If they're all relegated I can only put certain parameters down to ensure that doesn't happen."
Villa will drop out of the top flight for the first time since 1987 if they fail to win at Manchester United on Saturday or if Norwich avoid defeat by Sunderland earlier in the day.
Black has told forward Gabriel Agbonlahor to undergo a personal fitness programme after deeming him unfit. He will not play for at least two weeks.
Black added: "The players are waiting to see what's going to happen here. They're all in limbo.
"They are not great elements to motivate yourself every single day.
"That's my responsibility and I will do my utmost to ensure that it continues to be done on an extremely professional basis."


Community renewable energy projects are gaining momentum as an alternative option for investors in Wales.

With Bank of England interest rates at a record low, savers are turning to other ways of making their money grow.
At the moment there are five projects in Wales offering interest above the level offered by most banks and building societies.
But while investors get an income every year, they are tied in for up to 20 years.
The largest project is by Awel Co-op near Pontardawe, which is building two wind turbines to generate power for 2,500 homes.
It is offering 5% per year in interest for 20 years, in return for investment of £50 upwards.
The co-op has already raised £1.23m in this way and hopes that it will reach its target of £2m by the end of October.
Gerwyn Jones, a former teacher and community worker from Swansea, has invested in the project.
"We thought we'd like to put some investment back in the community," said Mr Jones.
"There's a risk involved but it is a cooperative and I understood the ethos, I thought it was a worthwhile way to use the money and the return was going to be healthy after that."
His wife Hilary, a former hairdresser, said: "I was worried about the financial side of it but I think it's the best investment now and the best for the children too.
Crowdfunding schemes - like Small Wind Co-op - and community share schemes - like the Awel Co-op - are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Share offer documents explain how income would be generated, both through electricity sales and government feed-in tariffs, and that investments could be a risk.
Investors have to confirm that they have read and understand this before they apply.
People who invested before the middle of June this year are being promised 7% a year by the Awel Co-op.
But like base rates, its level of interest has also reduced.
David Stonehouse, from Swansea, has invested £2,500.
"The investment will give a better return than what was being offered by the banks and it was also a chance to invest in green issues," he said.
"Considering what the banks are offering at the moment - only at best 1% - if it gets close to 7% or was even half that, it will be better.
"It's not a huge amount of money but it's not something to be sniffed at. I was prepared to take that risk."
Paul and Hilary Coffman, who are moving from Aberdare to live locally, are still making their minds up about whether to invest.
"Just leaving it in a bank or building society seems a bit of a waste of time at the moment and if there's something interesting to invest in, and with a better return, then we're interested in looking at it," Mr Coffman said.
"We could buy vintage cars or do all sorts of things with it, but this is worthy."
£500,000 Ynni Ogwen,Bethesda, Gwynedd (hydro)

£700,000 Small Wind Co-Op (wind, inc Ceredigion, £670,000 raised to date)
Dan McCallum, chairman of Awel co-op, said people had to be sure they wanted a long-term commitment and to leave before 20 years they would need to apply.
But he said there was a benefit to keeping it local.
"We're not borrowing it from a venture capital fund or a distant bank," he said.
"People are putting their own money in and getting a return on that investment. The returns from energy co-ops over the years have proved very reliable.
"There are risks with the project, but we're building it, we have a guaranteed feed-in tariff price for the next 20 years - a secure income - and a track record in developing these types of project."


Gum disease has been linked to a greater rate of cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer's disease, early stage research has suggested.

The small study, published in PLOS ONE, looked at 59 people who were all deemed to have mild to moderate dementia.
It is thought the body's response to gum inflammation may be hastening the brain's decline.
The Alzheimer's Society said if the link was proven to be true, then good oral health may help slow dementia.
The body's response to inflammatory conditions was cited as a possible reason for the quicker decline.
Inflammation causes immune cells to swell and has long been associated with Alzheimer's. Researchers believe their findings add weight to evidence that inflammation in the brain is what drives the disease.
The study, jointly led by the University of Southampton and King's College London, cognitively assessed the participants, and took blood samples to measure inflammatory markers in their blood.
Their oral health was also assessed by a dental hygienist who was unaware of the cognitive outcomes.
Of the sample group, 22 were found to have considerable gum disease while for the remaining 37 patients the disease was much less apparent. The average age of the group with gum disease was 75, and in the other group it was 79.
A majority of participants - 52 - were followed up at six months, and all assessments were repeated.
The presence of gum disease - or periodontitis as it is known - was associated with a six-fold increase in the rate of cognitive decline, the study suggested.
Dentist Dr Mark Ide from King's College London told the BBC News website he was "surprised" by the rate of decline, and said that as patients with gum disease chew on their teeth they were effectively giving themselves "mini-injections" of bacteria into their bloodstream.
"In just six months you could see the patients going downhill - it's really quite scary," he said.
Higher levels of antibodies to periodontal bacteria are associated with an increase in levels of inflammatory molecules elsewhere in the body - which in turn have been linked to greater rates of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease.
Prof Clive Holmes, senior author from the University of Southampton, said the results were "very interesting" and proved that this study needed to be carried out again but using a larger number of participants.
"However, if there is a direct relationship between periodontitis and cognitive decline, as this current study suggests, then treatment of gum disease might be a possible treatment option for Alzheimer's," he said.
He also said his researchers had taken into account the fact that gum disease may become more common in those people with Alzheimer's, because of a reduced ability to take care of oral hygiene as the disease progresses.
Dr Doug Brown, director of research and development at the Alzheimer's Society, also recognised that the study "adds evidence to the idea that gum disease could potentially be a contributing factor to Alzheimer's".
"If this is proven to be the case, better dental hygiene would offer a relatively straightforward way to help slow the progression of dementia and enable people to remain independent for longer," he said.
But he also described the study as "small" and said it was currently "unclear" whether the gum disease was the cause or the effect.
"We don't know if the gum disease is triggering the faster decline of dementia, or vice versa," he said.
In the UK around 80% of adults over 55 years old had evidence of gum disease, according to the adult dental survey of 2009, which is the latest data available.
There are around half a million people living with Alzheimer's disease in the UK .


Danniella Westbrook, who is best known for her role in EastEnders, has confirmed she is homeless, living in "sheltered housing".

The soap star confirmed her living situation on Twitter, saying that she's had a tough year and had "lost" her home.
"I have the love of my kids and a few good friends," she said.
She last appeared in the BBC One soap in 2010, playing the role of Sam Mitchell.
Ms Westbrook says she spoke out because someone was trying to sell a story about it to a magazine.
The 41-year-old first appeared on Albert Square in 1990 but left in 1996. She had a brief second stint in the show between 1999 and 2000.
In 2002, she was replaced in the role by another actress, Kim Medcalf, who left EastEnders in 2005. Ms Westbrook then returned to the role in 2009.
Ms Westbrook has previously dealt with cocaine addiction.
She was one of the contestants in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2003 but left the competition because she feared it was interfering with her recovery.
"I was living hour to hour in a world of hurt and thought, 'I've got to go to an AA meeting and centre myself'," she said in a later interview.

It's one thing for a chief executive to leave in his own time and on his own terms (and much rarer if the boss is a she).

It's really rare to do so after taking on a company that was not expected to last as long as a decade without succumbing to structural change or hostile takeover.
STV Group chief executive Rob Woodward's approach to the job he is standing down from after 10 years has appeared relaxed while very focused. He stripped away the remaining parts of what had been Scottish Media Group.
The company has stopped harking back to its launch, 60 years ago, when Scottish Television was described by its founding chairman as as "a licence to print money".
It had to become less of a couthy institution.
With the fracturing multi-channel TV audience, a commercial Scottish channel carrying its regulatory requirements seemed like it would be buried by BBC competition, dependence on ITV content, the arrival of more nimble commercial competition, and a financial crash that took down much of its advertising revenue.
It has not been an easy path. The relationship with ITV went badly wrong for a while. Woodward gambled on refusing to take expensive ITV drama, and had to admit defeat.
The demise of police drama Taggart as a money-earner has yet to be replaced.  The drive towards becoming an independent producer for other channels has been bumpy and fallen short of expectations.
But STV has survived, and is in fairly robust health - the only part of the channel 3 network that is independent of ITV.
It has refocused on its online news and entertainment, learning quickly that the plan to go hyper-local with hundreds of parish pump news sites was not going to work, and changing tack.
Its video-on-demand is growing by 23% in the first five months of this year.
Scotland Tonight has been a notable success, seeing off its BBC rival in the same time slot.
And Woodward has taken the opportunity of new licences for local TV, deftly turning them from city stations into a new national network, and beating the BBC to an integrated TV news programme.
STV2, launched on Monday, may not be quite the spirit intended when the licences were handed out. It may not have much of a budget. But so far, it's been proving a smarter business than others who won the right to give local TV a try.
Ten years is often seen as an appropriate time for a chief executive to move on, for reasons of good governance.
But one other reason why Mr Woodward may be thinking of getting out of his Clydeside office is the appearance among his shareholders of an investment fund called Crystal Amber.
It has just raised its stake to 14% of STV shares. That's in addition to 21% of shares in Johnston Press.
Why? Richard Bernstein, who runs the fund from London and Guernsey, isn't saying. But Crystal Amber is an activist investor.
As Ashley Highfield is finding at Johnston Press in Edinburgh, its interest in a stock may help support the price, but it can also be a warning of turbulence ahead.


China's education system is robbing its young people of the chance to become unique individuals, a leading educationalist says.

Author and academic Sir Anthony Seldon says China's strict schooling style needs to change or its youngsters will suffer, along with its economy.
Chinese schools, often criticised for rote and repetitive learning, should be more holistic, says Sir Anthony.
The comments come during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the UK.
In a speech at the Institute of Education on Wednesday, the president seemed to take on board some of these notions.
He said, after watching a BBC programme recreating a Chinese school in England, he had realised that "the British have learned the virtues of strict discipline" from China.
The Chinese, meanwhile, had been learning the advantages of recreation, he added.
"Chinese children do not play enough. They should play more," Mr Xi said.
The school day in China's state schools starts at 7am with various physical exercises.
Amongst other daily constitutionals, such as Tai Chi, pupils are encouraged to massage their eyes to keep them healthy and get them ready for the day.
The children have two meal breaks in the 12-hour school day and will exercise together every day - sometimes twice a day.
The teaching style is focused on note-taking and repetition, otherwise known as rote learning.
This is a great contrast to England's more interactive teaching style, where pupils are encouraged to participate in class and make judgments for themselves.
The Chinese believe children learn faster and better by rote learning
Chinese children live under the One Child Policy and feel the weight of responsibility on their shoulders, so there is great importance placed on their educational achievements.
Good exam results are associated with social status and success and entire families can pin all their hopes on the single child.
Chinese pupils learn the same subjects as English school children in the main, but are combined with practical work experience around the school campus, as well as Chinese culture, morality and ethics.
One feature of Chinese schools that England's teachers may welcome is that the pupils almost always are required to clean their own classrooms.
China's schools educate an estimated 192,000,000 children - a fifth of the world's school age children.
In a speech in Shanghai on Friday, Sir Anthony, now vice-chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said: "China has some of the top schools in the world and is leading the way with maths and science."
Indeed Shanghai and Hong Kong are among the top performing districts in the world, according to the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development.
Sir Anthony added: "It is the 'human' skills that cannot be replaced by computers that Chinese schools and schools worldwide need to be giving far greater focus.
"Many schools are robbing the young of the opportunity to blossom into the unique individuals that they are because too many teachers think that solely cramming pupils' heads full of facts is education.
"Many education systems focus on exams being the sole validators of school, but recent research suggests that jobs with a big growth in salary have been those that require a high degree of social skills," he adds.
Sir Anthony, former master of leading private school Wellington College, is a great advocate of protecting and enhancing pupils' well-being in order to maximise their potential to learn and express themselves confidently.
Like many private schools, Wellington College has an international school in China, where it offers a traditional English public school education.


A petrol station attendant has been threatened with a knife during a robbery in Glasgow.

A man entered the Esso garage in Broomloan Road, Ibrox, at about 05:30 and threatened the male member of staff with a knife and demanded money.
He ran off with a three-figure sum of cash.
He was white and was wearing a blue jacket with a red scarf, blue jeans, white trainers and an orange baseball cap.
The member of staff was uninjured but shaken as a result of the robbery.
Det Sgt Peter Sharp said: "Inquiries are ongoing in the local area to trace the man responsible.
"I would urge anyone who saw anyone acting suspiciously near the garage early this morning to contact the robbery unit at Pollok Police Office through 101."


UKIP leader Nigel Farage has urged people to "vote with your heart" and support the party on Thursday.

In a two-page advert in the Daily Telegraph, he said no party would win an outright majority, which presented an "opportunity to vote for change".
Mr Farage said UKIP offered "strong voices" that would "stand up to the political establishment".
But former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith said a vote for UKIP would be like a "suicide note".
He said it would destroy eurosceptics' hopes of a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union by allowing a Labour government in to power.
Tory leader David Cameron has promised an in/out referendum on the EU if he remains as prime minister.
But Mr Farage has said, without UKIP holding the PM's "feet to the fire", he feared any referendum would not be "fair".
UKIP's double-page spread in the Daily Telegraph came as the party launched its final pitch to voters ahead of polling day.
Mr Farage warned voters against supporting either Mr Cameron or Labour leader Ed Miliband, accusing them of making broken and "empty" and promises and "appeasement of the SNP".
Only UKIP, a party which "transcends class and ethnic divides", could represent the whole of the British public and "stand up to the political establishment, be they in Westminster, Brussels, or indeed Holyrood".
With the UKIP leader: Robin Brant, BBC political correspondent
Is there a threat from IS on the streets of Sandwich? This was the question put to a man who stopped to talk to Nigel Farage in the Kent town today. He'd told the UKIP leader about his fears of "Arabs" and extremists coming to the UK.
It was the second time in as many days that a supporter had raised the issue off the cuff. Mr Farage spoke last week about what he sees as the dangers posed by Islamist extremists using the cover of migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean to get to Europe and the UK.
Today he said he can't believe the issue isn't bigger in this campaign. The man in Sandwich conceded that he felt no direct threat in his town [during a brief exchange I pointed out that the 7/7 bombers were British].
But Nigel Farage believes the fears of people - UKIP supporters - in Margate and Sandwich are genuine and it's something he's focusing on as polling day nears.
Main pledges
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
"So when you go into the polling station on 7 May, think about the direction you want for this country," he wrote.
"We're the party of controlled immigration, strong defence and common sense," adding that UKIP's manifesto pledges were the only ones to be independently audited.
However, Work and Pensions Secretary Mr Duncan Smith said supporting Mr Farage's party would enable Labour to take power and deny the people a vote on the UK's relationship with Brussels.
He told the Telegraph: "I would simply appeal to them and say, honestly this is a risk that is no longer a protest, but it's like a suicide note."
"The last thing I always say to UKIP people on the doorstep is that for 24 years I have campaigned for a referendum on the European Union. And the British people have wanted one.
"And they should stop and think because if they do not vote for the Conservatives, then basically they will have taken away that referendum from the British people for which they will not be forgiven.
"And I certainly won't forgive them."
Responding to his comments, Mr Farage tweeted: "For IDS to accuse UKIP voters of writing "suicide notes" for a country they believe in is another Tory slur that'll drive more people to us."


Royal Navy warship HMS Daring is to be sent to the Gulf to support US carriers that are launching bombing raids on militants from the Islamic State group.

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said it would leave Portsmouth on Friday.
The Type 45 destroyer, and its 190 crew, will perform a similar role to that carried out by HMS Defender before it returned to the UK in July.
It will give air cover for US aircraft carriers, which dispatch planes on bombing raids in Iraq and Syria.
The Daring will also patrol busy shipping lanes and provide information to the headquarters controlling air operations against IS, which is also known as Daesh.
Mr Fallon said: "All three armed services are making a vital contribution to defeating Daesh.
"RAF aircraft are hitting the terrorists daily on the ground; the Army is providing counter-explosives training to Iraq troops; the Royal Navy helps protect coalition carriers in the Gulf as they launch strikes".
As a Type 45 destroyer, the Daring is armed with Sea Viper missiles which are designed to allow it to protect an entire fleet from air attacks and deal with threats up to 75 miles away.
Though they are the Royal Navy's most modern warships, earlier this year it emerged that the UK's fleet of six £1bn destroyers were to be fitted with new engines because they kept breaking down.
First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Philip Jones told the House of Commons Defence Committee in July that the gas turbine engines driving the warships "degraded catastrophically" in the Gulf's very warm seas.
He said the Royal Navy has accepted it would not be able to operate the ships "all the time in every place on every day of the year".
The Daring will be taking on the role previously carried out by the Defender, which spent nine months in the Middle East working mainly with American and French strike groups against IS.
In June, while working on counter narcotics and counter terrorist operations, the Defender intercepted a suspect fishing boat off the south coast of Oman and seized more than a tonne of hashish, with an estimated street value of £5.6m.


Workers are missing out on pension top-ups from their employers by only saving at a minimum level, research suggests.

Many larger firms offer to "match" additional pension saving by their employees, by adding a contribution when workers save more.
But insurer Royal London said that many workers were unaware of the option, and failed to take advantage.
This could make a difference of hundreds of pounds in retirement income, it said.
Despite having to make a number of assumptions in calculations, Royal London has estimated that an estimated £2bn of employer pension contributions would be available if workers took up the option of saving to a maximum rather than minimum level.
It estimated that 3.2 million workers could receive an extra £650 per year each.
That would mean somebody on average earnings who chose to take up an additional 3% matched contribution to their pension pot would receive a retirement income of £22,500 rather than £19,050, thanks to the extra contribution and tax relief.
The Nationwide Building Society has changed its default level to a maximum, rather than a minimum contribution. Steve Webb, a former pensions minister and now director of policy and Royal London, said more could be done to make workers at other businesses aware that their employer might add to their pension if they were willing to contribute at a higher level.
"At a time when money is tight for many people and pay rises may be limited, getting your employer to contribute more to your pension can be a very cost-effective strategy," he said.
"When individuals are thinking about where to put their money to get the best return, the chance to more than double your money through an employer contribution and tax relief from the government takes a lot of beating."
Graham Vidler, director of external affairs at the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association, said; "If your employer offers a workplace pension, you should certainly consider joining and putting in as much as possible as if you don't you will miss out on free money in the form of employer contributions as well as the tax relief.
"This research highlights how much UK employees could be missing out on each year. It is also vitally important that people start saving into a pension as soon as possible as the longer you save, the bigger your final pot is likely to be and the more you can benefit from your employers 'matching' contributions."


New US Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke literally took the reins on his first day at work by showing up on horseback.

The former Montana congressman and Navy SEAL rode through downtown Washington atop a 17-year-old Irish sport horse named Tonto.
Nine US Park Police on horseback accompanied the 55-year-old to the Interior Department's headquarters a day after he was sworn in.
He was spotted wearing a black cowboy hat as he made his way through traffic.

"Secretary Zinke was proud to accept an invitation by the US Park Police to stand shoulder to shoulder with their officers on his first day at Interior," said Interior spokeswoman Heather Swift.
Mr Zinke was greeted by hundreds of federal workers, including an Office of Indian Affairs employee from the Northern Cheyenne tribe in Montana, who played him a song on a hand drum.
The Interior Department oversees more than 20% of US federal land, including national parks such as Yellowstone and Yosemite.


Zlatan Ibrahimovic's late winner secured the EFL Cup and gave Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho his first success since his summer appointment, as brave Southampton were beaten at Wembley.

Southampton were the better side for most of this final but were left heartbroken by a controversial offside decision - and the inspiration provided by the 35-year-old Swede as he took his tally to 26 goals this season.
Saints' striker Manolo Gabbiadiani saw a goal contentiously ruled out before United took an undeserved two-goal lead through Ibrahimovic's superb 19th minute free-kick and Jesse Lingard's measured finish seven minutes before the interval.
Southampton, as their performance merited, were on terms with two predatory strikes from Gabbiadini either side of half-time.
Oriel Romeu hit the woodwork before Ibrahimovic stole in on Ander Herrera's cross three minutes from time to give United a victory that looked beyond them for long spells.
Mourinho was a subdued figure throughout this final - perhaps unable to disguise his discontent at what was a wretched performance by United for the most part at Wembley.
Inside, however, he will be ecstatic at holding silverware aloft once more, making himself a success with United in his first season at Old Trafford and performing the same trick he used at Chelsea to ease any pressure on himself and reassure supporters they have a winner at the helm.
Mourinho made it his business to target this trophy in his first season at Chelsea, beating Liverpool in the 2005 final, and it was his first success in his second spell at Stamford Bridge as Spurs were beaten here at Wembley in the 2015 final.
He is now level with Sir Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough as the most successful manager in the League Cup after his fourth triumph and takes another step on the road to rehabilitation after his sacking at Chelsea last season.
He had a warm, sympathetic exchange with his Southampton counterpart Claude Puel at the final whistle, the realist Mourinho probably realising United were outplayed for large portions of a highly entertaining final.
It will not mention that in the record books, though.
Mourinho is back among the silverware as this serial winner puts his name on United's honours board.
Ibrahimovic was Manchester United's man with the Midas touch, dragging them from a mire of mediocrity with his 25th and 26th goals of the season, as he secured his first success in England.
He is the leader of this developing United side, no argument brooked as team-mates stood back to let him send a 19th minute free-kick past Southampton keeper Fraser Forster from 25 yards - although the effort was within reach of the giant stopper.
And in the closing moments, when Wembley looked for a match-winner to decide a thrilling final and prevent extra time, it was Ibrahimovic who found space among tiring Southampton defenders to power Ander Herrera's cross past Forster from six yards.
It was a goal that cements his cult status among United fans and confirms Mourinho's masterstroke in luring him to Old Trafford in one of the greatest free transfers the Premier League has seen.
United looked jaded as they were in Europa League action in Saint-Etienne on Thursday, while Saints had a two-week break - Zlatan helped refresh tired legs.
Southampton's players dropped to their knees in desolation at the final whistle - and who could blame them after a superb performance left them with nothing but heartbreak?
They will complain long and hard about the decision to rule out Gabbiadini's first-half effort - a poacher's strike ruled out for offside against Ryan Bertrand, who was way out of the action at the far post while the Italian was clearly onside.
They shrugged off that disappointment to restore parity either side of half-time through the predatory Gabbiadini but had no luck whatsoever, Romeu's header bouncing back off the post with David de Gea well beaten.
De Gea saved well from James Ward-Prowse and Dusan Tadic and United had several near-misses before snatching victory right at the death.
Southampton can be proud of one of the finest performances in defeat the modern Wembley has seen - but that will be no consolation to Puel's devastated players.
Manchester United match-winner Zlatan Ibrahimovic: "This is a team effort. This is what I came for - to win, and I am winning. The more I win the more satisfied I get.
"You appreciate it more the older you get. Wherever I have gone I have won. I think this is trophy number 32 for me.
"This is what I predicted. My friend, I keep doing it. I'm enjoying it in England."

Almost 40 years after his death, Elvis Presley has topped the UK album charts for a 12th time.

If I Can Dream is a collection of Elvis classics featuring orchestral reworkings by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
It means Elvis has had more UK number one albums than any other male solo artist.
Meanwhile, Adele kept her hold on the singles chart, staying at number one for a second week with Hello.
The song is the fastest-selling single of 2015 and has already been certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Elvis claimed the top album spot with 79,000 chart sales, giving him the second-fastest selling album of the year behind Chasing Yesterday by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
Receiving the award on Elvis's behalf, the star's former wife Priscilla Presley told OfficialCharts.com: "This is an album that Elvis always really wanted to do and he would have been so pleased to know his fans are still there and they continue to love his music.
"The most talented team put this album together and helped us all realise an unfulfilled dream."
Rod Stewart landed his 34th top ten album with Another Country, just behind Elvis at two, while Elbow frontman Guy Garvey was at three with his first solo release Courting The Squall.
Ed Sheeran's x jumped three places back up the chart to spend its 72nd week in the top ten at four, and Jess Glynne returned to the top five with I Cry When I Laugh.
Adele's grip on the singles top spot kept Justin Bieber's Sorry at number two in the singles chart for another week, while Sam Smith's Bond theme Writing's On The Wall climbed back up one place to three.
The Weeknd's The Hills rose one place to four, and Drake's Hotline Bling slid two places to round out the top five.


The families of 11 people killed by the Army in west Belfast more than 40 years ago have called for an independent panel to investigate the deaths.

The proposed panel would be chaired by former police ombudsman Nuala O'Loan.
They want the panel to examine all documents and papers relating to the deaths.
Eleven people were killed during an Army operation in Ballymurphy in August 1971 to arrest people suspected of paramilitary activity.
The seven-strong panel would also include Prof Phil Scraton, author of the independent Hillsborough report into the deaths of 96 football fans in 1989, and civil rights lawyer Gareth Pierce.
The relatives said the panel should report within 12-18 months, and should be funded by the British and Irish governments.
Its work would reflect the terms of reference of the government-funded Hillsborough Independent Panel.
In a statement the families said "they have amassed strong evidence that all who died were killed unlawfully and in breach of Article 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights.
"The case raises serious questions regarding human rights abuses committed by the British Army and of a culture of impunity in the north of Ireland in which members of the security forces routinely were above the law."
The families have criticised the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) investigation into the killings at the time.
They have also expressed no confidence into the review of the deaths currently being conducted by the Historical Enquires team (HET).
Members of the Parachute Regiment claimed they opened fire after being shot at by republicans during Operation Demetrius in 1971.
A Catholic priest and a mother-of-eight were among those killed.
After an application from the families the attorney general directed the coroner to re-open inquests into the deaths in November 2011.


Monaghan have been handed the chance to avenge their Ulster semi-final defeat by Down after the counties were paired together in the All-Ireland Qualifiers.

The other Round 4B tie saw Armagh drawn against Kildare, the county formerly managed by current Orchard County boss Kieran McGeeney.
The two fixtures will take place at Croke Park on 29 July.
Down take on Monaghan at 17:00 BST followed by Armagh's encounter with the Lilywhites two hours later.
McGeeney, Armagh's 2002 All-Ireland winning captain brought Kildare to an All-Ireland semi-final in 2010 but his reign ended in controversial circumstances in 2013 after losing a ballot among county delegates by just one vote.
Kildare will be without midfielder Kevin Feely after he picked up his third black card of the year in the Leinster final defeat by Dublin, while captain Eoin Doyle looks certain to have a procedure on a broken thumb.
No beaten Leinster finalist has gone on to win their Round 4 qualifier since the Lilywhites did it in 2009.
Monaghan suffered a shock Ulster semi-final defeat by Down, but have come through qualifiers against Wexford and Carlow.
Armagh have seen off Fermanagh, Westmeath and Tipperary in their All-Ireland qualifier ties, after losing out to the Mournemen in the Ulster Championship.
The winners of these ties will play either Tyrone or Dublin in the All-Ireland quarter-final. Should Kildare win they will automatically play Tyrone, while should Down win they will automatically face Dublin.
If Armagh and Monaghan both win then a further draw will be required to determine which of the above provincial champions they will meet in the quarter-final.
While teams in Round 4 are typically prevented from facing sides they've already played in their provincial championship this wasn't possible for Down as they'd already played both their potential opponents in this draw.


A remote island off the coast of north west Wales is advertising the "perfect summer job".

Bardsey Island Trust is looking for a new information and volunteer officer to spend 18 weeks living in the tiny community.
The job offers basic accommodation and the chance to work in a national nature reserve, home to dolphins and seals.
The island, located two miles off Llyn peninsula, is only accessible by private boat.
But Caroline Williams, administrator with the Bardsey Island Trust, warned the job is not a holiday.
"It's lonely and isolated, and you have to be prepared for that," she said. "But the people who live there love it.
"And it's not totally cut off - there is the internet and phone. It is the perfect job for someone who is at university or who has just graduated and is looking for some experience."
The island, called Ynys Enlli in Welsh, is limited to around 2,000 visitors per season, and has seven permanent residents.
It is said to be the burial ground of 20,000 saints, and was an important pilgrimage post for early Christians.
Last year the Trust was inundated with hundreds of applications from as afar afield as Pakistan after advertising for an island manager.
But Ms Williams strongly recommends that prospective applicants visit the windswept island.
Job responsibilities include pathways maintenance, updating the Trust's website and social media, and volunteer support - and applicants must be fluent in welsh and English.
The deadline for the job, part-funded by Natural Resources Wales, is 1 April, and the starting date is 1 June.


Bristol City have signed Bournemouth forward Lee Tomlin for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old, who scored six goals in 18 appearances after joining the Championship club on loan in January, has agreed a three-year contract.
"I believe we've signed the most talented player at Championship level in terms of ability," head coach Lee Johnson said.
Tomlin had two years remaining on his contract with Bournemouth.
The Leicester-born former Middlesbrough and Peterborough man made six Premier League appearances for the Cherries after signing from Boro in August 2015.
"He was fantastic for us last season and I believe his best football is ahead of him," Johnson added.
"He does things every day in training that make you smile - you think how on earth has he done that?"
Tomlin becomes the Robins' third signing of the summer so far, joining former Norwich City midfielder Gary O'Neil and former Preston midfielder Josh Brownhill.

The DUP have confirmed their new South Belfast MLA is to receive a severance payment from her previous job as a special advisor.

The Irish News reported that Emma Pengelly, who was co-opted into the assembly seat, was to receive the payment.
She used to work in the Office of the First and Deputy First Ministers.
Special advisors are civil servants that are appointed by ministers to work on party political matters.
A DUP spokesperson said: "Emma Pengelly receives a severance payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of her contract of employment.
"Mrs Pengelly will receive her severance payment from her former employer in due course as it is a contractual obligation to resign upon having become identified as an election candidate."
The new MLA will contest the Stormont election scheduled for next May.
While the exact amount has not been published, special advisors who have been in the job at least four years and leave the post under these circumstances are entitled to a severance payment of six months' salary.
Mrs Pengelly's annual salary was just under Â£92,000. As an MLA she will earn Â£48,000 a year.
The TUV leader Jim Allister has said Mrs Pengelly should not take the severance payment.


A new survey has suggested that Muslims in Australia experience racism at three times the national average.

Some 600 Muslims were surveyed in Sydney, with 57% of respondents saying that they had experienced racism.
World events had "emboldened" people to discriminate against Muslims, the survey's lead author said.
However, 86% of the respondents believed that relations between Australian Muslims and non-Muslims were friendly.
The survey was conducted by Western Sydney and Charles Sturt Universities, and the Islamic Sciences and Research Academy.
Western Sydney University Professor Kevin Dunn, who led the study, said: "Because of things that are happening in the world and the various representations of Muslims - and these are problematic - it means that some people unfortunately feel more emboldened to say things and do things which are prejudicial and which are hurtful towards Muslims."
The survey also found that unemployment in respondents at 8.5% was much higher than the Sydney average of 3.7%, and that 62% of those surveyed had experienced racism in the workplace or when seeking a job.
However, despite the levels of discrimination, most Muslims said they identified as Australian and felt a sense of belonging to the country.
The minority of Australians who did discriminate against Muslims could be leaving them "vulnerable to radicalisation", said Prof John Esposito, a keynote speaker and founding director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Centre for Muslim-Christian Understanding, ABC News reported.
"One of the things that does wind up alienating some youth is the extent to which anti-Muslim and anti-Islamic diatribe, hate crimes, attacks on mosques make people feel alienated and marginalised from their societies," he said.
"But I think a lot of it also has to do with Western foreign policies."
Muslims make up about 2% of Australia's population.


Racehorse trainer David "Dandy" Nicholls will stand trial in February after pleading not guilty to two charges of sexual assault.

The 60-year-old former jockey is accused of assaulting two women in separate incidents.
Appearing at Teesside Crown Court he pleaded not guilty to both of the charges.
Mr Nicholls, of Tall Trees Farm, Sessay, near Thirsk, was granted bail ahead of his trial on 27 February.
He was a jockey until 1992, riding more than 400 winners before becoming a trainer.


Double winners Saracens have appointed centre Brad Barritt as captain, replacing Alistair Hargreaves.

The 29-year-old led Sarries to the Premiership and European Champions Cup titles last season while Hargreaves was sidelined through injury.
Barritt has made 171 appearances since joining Saracens in 2008 and has won 26 international caps for England.
Director of rugby Mark McCall said Barritt had shown "exceptional leadership qualities".
The Ulsterman continued: "He is ideally qualified to be our captain.
"Brad is someone who leads through example - through his actions, attitude and application. He is one of the most competitive players I have ever come across.
"He stepped in to the captaincy role last season in Alistair's absence with real aplomb."
Saracens begin their defence of the Premiership title against Worcester on Saturday, 3 September while the north London side have been drawn to face Toulon, Sale and Scarlets in the pool stage of the Champions Cup.


Some letting agents in London are creating fake adverts duplicating pictures of properties to lure prospective renters, a BBC investigation has found.

A regulatory body says the practice, known as ghost-listing, is on the rise because of the "massive shortage of housing" and "huge influx of people".
One homeowner found her own flat marketed for rent on a website.
Lawyer David Smith says the practice is illegal but very difficult to police.
It involves agents stealing listings from competitors' websites, and in some cases using details of homes not currently on the market.
The Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) said ghost-listing was on the rise because of a lack of rental stock.
David Cox, from the regulatory body, said property that is not available will be used on a website to try and entice members of the public to look at the stock that is.
The practice is illegal under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations, 2008.
Mr Cox said: "We're hearing anecdotal evidence that this is increasing.
"It's in all parts of London, from the high-end properties in central London to average-priced properties in east and south London.
"It's because the agents don't have the stock. There is a massive shortage of housing and a huge influx of people.
"The government statistics suggest for every one house built, four more households are created."
It happened to me
Erica Sciolti from Highbury found her flat had been marketed for rent over the summer, without her knowledge.
She was looking to remortgage and while looking up the value of her home on the property website Zoopla, she found it had been listed for rent a month earlier by an estate agent in Islington called Down2Town.
She was worried it could get her into trouble with her mortgage provider, but also says it left her feeling vulnerable.
"It's our home," she said. "We've been here for so long and to see someone creating a deception around our address feels like our home has been stolen to a certain extent."
Mr Smith, from Antony Gold Solicitors, said the practice is known in the industry as "bait and switch"; offering something that does not exist, then substituting it at a later date with an alternative, possibly inferior, product.
He said: "If someone is induced to see a property that doesn't exist, they then may be so desperate by that point they'll take an inferior product they would never normally have taken, or they'll be prepared to pay too much money for it.
"People are already talking about how the market in London is overheated. This just distorts it further."
The BBC found the same thing had happened to two other flats in Ms Sciolti's block.
In one instance there were three different properties being marketed on Down2Town's website, all in different locations, all using the same set of photographs.
The BBC has approached Down2Town for an explanation but has had no response.
Trading Standards is responsible for enforcing the law on this, but as Mr Cox explains "it's almost impossible to police".
"These listings will look exactly the same as any genuine listing. Unless someone actually notices 'that is my property' they're probably never going be found."
The private rented sector is largely unregulated and many want to see greater regulation of the industry to stamp out such practices.
Both Zoopla and Right Move have responded to calls they should be doing more to police their sites and weed out fake listings.
They say they are aware of the problem and monitor for this type of activity. Both say they have removed content that is not genuine, and would look to take action against agents who are repeatedly breaching regulations.
A Department for Communities and Local Government spokesman said: "The government is determined to crack down on rogue landlords and letting agents. That is why we have already made it a legal requirement for letting agents in England to belong to one of three government-approved redress schemes, ensuring that complaints are dealt with.
"Our Housing Bill will go further, strengthening councils' powers to tackle rogue letting agents, including blacklisting those who have been convicted of serious offences and seeking banning orders for the most prolific offenders."


A sharp increase in pest control costs in the Palace of Westminster has been blamed on the amount of work being done on the crumbling estate.

Explaining last year's £132,619 bill, Commons authorities said increased maintenance projects had "disturbed pests and made them more visible".
The mouse problem has got so bad, with sightings reported daily, that one MP brought her cats to the Commons.
The official pest control measures included hawk-flying to scare pigeons.
Figured showed a total of 217 mice sightings in the first six months of 2017 and over 1,000 "moth detections" every month.
Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt confirmed she had resorted to her own methods but had fallen foul of Parliament's strict rules.
"I have four cats that have periodically deterred mouse activity by patrolling offices and corridors," she told the BBC.
"Their services are often requested by colleagues, but palace authorities have ruled such initiatives out of order."
Parliamentary authorities distributed a note to MPs last year which read: "No animals other than assistance dogs and security dogs are allowed in the Palace or any of its outbuildings (other than residences).
"This rule is in place because of the duty of care that would arise in relation to animal welfare and the health, safety and wellbeing of Members, staff and visitors on the Parliamentary Estate."
This cost of using hawks to deter pests was just over £16,000 in 2016-17 - £10,000 higher than the previous year.
"Moth deterrents" cost just under £9,000 and "general controls" - including a full-time pest control technician - came to £106,000.
In 2015-2016, the overall pest control bill came to £103,157.
The costs - which are split 60/40 between the Commons and the Lords - were revealed following a Freedom of Information request.
A spokesman said the parliamentary estate is "vulnerable to populations of animals which can cause significant damage to the fabric of the buildings and health and safety issues".
The spokesman added that "mice populations need to be controlled for hygiene reasons, including compliance with regulations, and to prevent accidents caused by mice chewing through electric cables," while moths posed a danger to historic furnishings and the Parliamentary Art Collection.
It is a different story in Downing Street, where Number 10, the Treasury, the Foreign Office and Cabinet office have recruited cats for pest control.
Downing Street's website describes Larry as "the first cat at Number 10 to be bestowed with the official title Chief Mouser".
Foreign Office cat Palmerston was, like Larry, a rescue cat from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
Gladstone is on pest control duty at the Treasury while Evie and Ossie, rescue cats from the Celia Hammond Trust, are on duty at the Cabinet Office.


New legislation to devolve corporation tax to Northern Ireland has been passed by the House of Lords, marking another stage in its process to become law.

Corporation tax is the tax that companies pay on their profits. The current UK rate is 21% whereas in the Republic of Ireland firms pay 12.5%.
Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers said it was "fitting" that it happened on St Patrick's Day.
But she warned Stormont must reform welfare before the bill can progress.
A bill to allow Northern Ireland to set its own rate of corporation tax, in a bid to compete for investment with the Republic of Ireland, was a key part of the Stormont House Agreement.
The legislation to allow corporation tax powers to be devolved to Stormont was published in January.
The government aims to pass the law before May's general election.
It should allow Northern Ireland to set its own rate from April 2017.
