Temperatures topped 29C on Scotland's hottest day of the year so far - sparking a warning of overnight downpours and thunderstorms.

The Met Office said the warm air brought a risk of lightning, hail, storms and flash flooding later on Tuesday and into Wednesday morning.
A Yellow "be aware" warning is in place from 17:00 until 18:00 on Wednesday.
The extent of the thunderstorms is uncertain, but some places could see over 30mm of rain in an hour.
Prestwick in Ayrshire had the day's highest recorded temperature at 29C, followed by nearby Auchnicruvie at 28C.
Shetland was one of the only places in Scotland not to enjoy the sunshine - with the weather largely cloudy with patchy rain and drizzle.
Aberdeen - which was sitting at around 19C at lunchtime - was hotter than Nairobi, Kenya.
Heavy, thundery showers are forecast for Tuesday night.
The adverse weather could cause disruption on Wednesday morning. Frequent lightning is expected to continue along with high temperatures of 22 or 23C in the afternoon.

A man in his 80s has been killed in a road collision in County Tyrone.

It happened in Dungannon on Monday morning, on a slip road off the A4 Woodlough Road
Police said an investigation had begun into the circumstances of the collision, and they have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Roads at Granville Industrial Estate were closed following the collision, but have since reopened.


Bonuses will fall sharply for investment bankers and traders this year, according to a salary report.

Bankers handling mergers and acquisition (M&A) and share sales could see bonuses fall 4% on average, says salary benchmarking website Emolument.
Currency and commodity traders face a 9% cut after "heavy losses" on many trading desks this year.
A managing director in that team will have a bonus of £265,000 compared with £290,000 last year, the report said.
The report suggests directors in the same team will receive £114,000, vice-presidents £58,000 and associates £28,000 in the bonus round, typically held from now until March.
Emolument co-founder Alice Leguay told the BBC: "Banks are really struggling to spread the bonus pools around. They are under a huge amount of pressure from shareholders not to pay big bonuses."
There was also still "a haze of negative perceptions" around bankers' bonuses from the public, she said.
However, the fall in bonuses, which follows an increase last year, would not be spread evenly across all staff, she said.
More bankers would receive a "doughnut" - the term for a bonus of zero - to pay for top-performing staff who banks "simply cannot afford to lose", Ms Leguay said.
Basic salaries had also increased this year to circumvent the EU salary cap and provided more job security, she added.


A lunch date with Tim Cook has sold for close to $330,000 (£196,000) on the auction website CharityBuzz.

That was just over over half of last year's haul, when the website auctioned a coffee meeting with the Apple boss.
The money will benefit the Robert F Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights.
CharityBuzz declined to reveal the winner, who will get a one-hour lunch with Mr Cook at Apple headquarters (cost of travel not included).
Mr Cook also added a second prize on Twitter, which will give the winner a VIP seat at an upcoming Apple event.
CharityBuzz had estimated the value of the lunch date at around $100,000.
Part of the reason for the lower price tag could be that CharityBuzz implemented a finance authorisation requirement for anyone wishing to bid on the auction.
But while appetite for a bite with Mr Cook may have cooled (or Silicon Valley lovers might just prefer a well-brewed cup of coffee), his stock, much like Apple's, remains high.
An auction for a similar lunch date with former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke took in just over $70,000, and a still-open auction for a coffee date with AOL boss Tim Armstrong - which also includes a tour of HuffingtonPost Live and a taped interview - currently has zero bids.
Warren Buffett, chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, was one of the first to popularise a "lunch with the boss"-style charity auction 14 years ago.
Last year, lunch with the "oracle of Omaha" sold for more than $1m on eBay, off the record $3.5m winning bid in 2012.

The UK's EU referendum is proving close but the Remain campaign appears to be failing to pick up enough support outside London to win.

At 03:45 BST Leave were ahead by over 500,000 votes, with the English shires and Wales voting strongly for Brexit.
UKIP's Nigel Farage said: "Dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom."
The pound surged as polls closed before falling to its lowest level since 1985, on signs of a Leave victory.
Scotland and Northern Ireland appear to have opted for Remain and London has voted emphatically to stay in the EU.
Unlike at a general election the results in individual areas do not count - it is the overall number of votes cast for one side or the other across the country that will determine whether the UK leaves the European Union.
Polling expert Prof John Curtice said there was still a while to go but at this stage Leave were "undoubtedly the favourites" to win the referendum. He estimates that the finishing post for one side to win is 16,813,000 votes.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who at the start of the night predicted that Remain might "edge" a win, told supporters: "Dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom."
At a Brexit party, he told supporters: "If the predictions are right, this will be a victory for real people, a victory for ordinary people, and a victory for decent people."
"Let June 23 go down in our history as our independence day."
He also suggested the prime minister should resign "immediately" if the UK votes to leave the EU.
Conservative Remain campaigner Justine Greening told the BBC: "It's way too early in the night to be calling it one way or another" but Labour's Chuka Umunna said, looking at the results so far "it's not looking promising for Remain".
Jenny Watson, the Electoral Commission's chief counting officer, will announce the referendum result at Manchester Town Hall after all 382 local totals have been certified and declared.
According to Prof Curtice, the Remain vote is about 10% short of what was expected in north-east England and although Remain is ahead in Scotland, turnout is lower than in the rest of the UK.
Wales appears to be backing Brexit, with a vote of 54.7% for Leave so far.
Northern Ireland appears to be voting in favour of Remain.
Results are starting to come in from the Midlands, Yorkshire and Humber or London and South East of England, where voting was disrupted by flash flooding.
An online survey taken on polling day of 5,000 people by YouGov suggested the Remain side running at 52% of the vote, to Leave's 48%. Ipsos Mori have released polling from Thursday and Wednesday suggesting Remain will get 54% and Leave 46%.
Former Labour leader Ed Miliband, who backed a Remain vote, said: "It's a nation divided and the PM will have a big responsibility - particularly if it's a Remain win - to show he understands what people are saying on the Leave side of the argument. Labour faces that responsibility too."
Several months ago, the Leave campaign didn't have much hope that they could get anywhere close in a short campaign.
They characterised themselves as the plucky underdogs, in with a shout, but certainly the real outsiders.
But, in part by using that status, indeed building a narrative of the people versus the elites, they have got themselves to a position where they might end up on the winning side.

Kamal Ahmed: Do markets believe Remain has won?
The referendum result, which should be known by breakfast time on Friday, could be a turning point in the UK's relationship with Europe and the rest of the world.
If the UK becomes the first country to exit the EU it will arguably be the biggest blow to the 28-nation European Union since its formation.
A vote to remain would see Britain gain exemption from "ever closer" political union and other concessions secured by Prime Minister David Cameron in a renegotiation of the country's membership terms.
From 22:00 BST, there has been comprehensive coverage on the BBC News website and app with live text and video streaming, reaction and analysis from BBC editors and others. There is also be an up-to-the-minute full results service and details of all local results.
BBC One, the BBC News Channel and BBC Parliament will broadcast a results show hosted by David Dimbleby alongside BBC experts and special guests from 21:55 BST. Coverage continues through the night and Sophie Raworth, Andrew Neil and Victoria Derbyshire pick up the coverage on Friday morning.
The results programme is being streamed internationally on the BBC News website.
BBC Radio 5 live has coverage as the results come in, as will Radio 4 from 23:00 BST until the Today programme picks up at 06:00 BST on Friday.
From 22:00 GMT, television viewers outside the UK can tune in via BBC World News and BBC World News America. Listeners outside the UK can tune into BBC World Service radio for regular updates.
Referendum night - what to watch out for
Many polling stations in the South East of England reported high turnouts despite bad weather, so declarations could be later than previously expected.
There were also concerns that some commuters stranded in London because of chaos on the railways might not have got home in time to vote.
The referendum followed a bitterly-fought four month campaign, which saw Mr Cameron pitted against senior colleagues in his own party, who were campaigning for Britain to leave.
A Brexit vote could deal a fatal blow to Mr Cameron's career as prime minister, although he has vowed to stay on whatever the outcome.
Conservative MP Robert Syms says he and other Vote Leave Tories have written to Mr Cameron telling him he has a "duty" to stay on regardless of the result - the letter has been signed by all the cabinet ministers who broke ranks to back Leave, including Boris Johnson and Michael Gove.
Mr Cameron promised to hold a referendum on Britain's EU membership ahead of last year's general election, following relentless pressure from his own MPs and the UK Independence Party, which was taking votes - and later - MPs from Mr Cameron's Conservatives.
He initially suggested he would be prepared to back an out vote if he did not get what he wanted from his renegotiations.
But once the date of the referendum was announced he threw himself into the campaign for Britain to remain, arguing the country would be "stronger, safer and better-off" in the EU.
Nearly all of Britain's opposition parties, including Labour and the Scottish National Party, backed remaining in the EU, along with the majority of business leaders.
The Leave campaign - headed by former mayor of London and Conservative MP Boris Johnson - argued that the only way Britain could "take back control" of its own affairs would be to leave the EU.
The Leave campaign dismissed warnings from economists and international bodies about the economic impact of Brexit as "scaremongering" by a self-serving elite.
Immigration was a key issue in the campaign, with the Leave campaign arguing that net migration from the EU could never be reduced while the UK was signed up to free movement rules.


A man has been stabbed to death at a home in east London.

Police were called after reports of a disturbance at a property in Hickling Road, Ilford, on Saturday night.
Florin Onea, 49, was taken to hospital with a stab wound and died on Monday.
Officers arrested a 34-year-old man at the scene, who was charged with GBH with intent to kill.
Detectives have begun a murder investigation.
Mr Onea's next of kin has been informed.


A US judge has ordered Apple to pay more than half a billion dollars to a university after the tech firm failed to abide by an earlier court ruling.

Apple was sued in 2014 for allegedly using a technology developed by a professor and his students in its iPhone chips without the University of Wisconsin-Madison's permission.
Apple was ordered to pay about $234m (Â£179m) when it lost the patent case.
That sum has now been more than doubled because it continued to use the tech.
The judge said that additional damages and interest brought the sum owed to $506m.
However, Apple still hopes to overthrow the fine by appealing against the original jury verdict.
The penalty is still less than the $862m the university had originally sought in damages.
That is because Apple was found not to have deliberately infringed the university's microchip technology.
The patent in question outlined a way to boost computing performance by predicting how processors are about to be used.
The original case covered Apple's use of the invention in its A7, A8 and A8X processors, which are found in devices including the iPhone 5S and the iPad Air 2.
Apple did not re-engineer the chips after losing the dispute in 2015 nor pull the relevant products from sale, and thus became liable for the additional payout.
The university is also seeking further compensation for Apple's continued infringement of the patent in its A9 and A9X chips, which power its iPhone 6S and iPad Pro models.
However, the follow-up legal action has been put on hold until Apple's appeal has been considered.


A Kenyan human rights activist held for a year in Uganda over the 2010 Kampala World Cup bombing has told the BBC he was framed by Kenya's government.

"It was pay-back time for my previous human rights defence of victims of extraordinary rendition," Al-Amin Kimathi said.
A Ugandan court dropped charges against Mr Kimathi and four others on Monday.
Two Ugandans have since pleaded guilty to involvement in the suicide bombings that killed at least 76 people.
Somalia's Islamist al-Shabab group said it carried out the bombings in Uganda's capital, Kampala, because Uganda had sent troops to Somalia.
Before his arrest in September 2010, Mr Kimathi, the head of the Muslim Human Rights Forum, had accused Kenya and Uganda of illegal rendition - arresting suspects in Kenya and sending them to Uganda without due process.
He was detained last year after going to Uganda to advise people he said had been illegally extradited.
The prosecution said they dropped the charges against the human rights activist and four other suspects because of a lack of evidence.
Mr Kimathi told the BBC's Focus on Africa that during his questioning it was confirmed that Kenya had organised his arrest.
"I have firm evidence that it [Kenya's government] did set me up. My interrogators - senior Ugandan security officers - they told me clearly," he said.
He said his year in Uganda had been a "harrowing experience".
"We underwent great psychological torture - we were not physically tortured but this, I believe, was deliberately planned to be a psychologically torturous exercise."
But he said it had made him more determined.
"You are looking at a more committed human rights defender than you saw last year," he said.
On Tuesday, 14 other suspects appeared before the High Court in Kampala, all but two rejected all charges, including murder and terrorism.
Edris Nsubuga pleaded guilty to three counts of terrorism, including the "intention to unlawfully deliver and discharge an explosive".
Muhamoud Mugisha pleaded guilty to "conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism".
During extra-judicial hearings last year, Mugisha said he had links with al-Qaeda, while Nsubuga said he had been brainwashed and he regretted his involvement in the attacks.
In July last year, suicide bombers attacked a bar and restaurant in Kampala where people had gathered to watch the football World Cup final on TV.
Uganda and Burundi are the only countries to have sent troops to Somalia to help the UN-backed government in its fight against the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab, which controls much of the war-torn country.


The residents of Mexico City will be woken by an unusual alarm clock this weekend.

For the first time in 23 years, the country will be home to a Formula 1 race and this time, the drivers won't be the ones who have most at stake.
The return of Mexico's Grand Prix is part of a bid to boost the standing of the country that has long had a reputation for being somewhat sleepy and economically impoverished. An F1 race puts it on the global sporting map alongside developed nations and trading partners like the United States and Britain.
Tavo Hellmund, the American entrepreneur who was the mastermind behind the US GP in Austin and its track, the Circuit of the Americas, is one of the driving forces behind the Mexican race. He believes it is on track to attract a 120,000-strong crowd and beat all previous attendance records.
But he admits that its reappearance on the F1 calendar is down to luck as much as desire.
"All of the stars have aligned to bring F1 back to Mexico as we have two hugely talented athletes flying the flag in the form of Ferrari's test driver Esteban GutiÃ©rrez and Sergio Perez at the wheel for Force India.
"We also have Enrique Pena Nieto, a dynamic young president who is passionate about motorsport and has provided the support needed to give the race a green light."
The Mexican GP first raced onto the F1 calendar in 1963 and became a fan-favourite thanks to memorable on-track action, including victories by British world champion Nigel Mansell. He famously passed Austrian driver Gerhard Berger on the outside of the sweeping Peraltada corner in 1990 and won the country's final grand prix two years later.
The race dropped off the F1 calendar because the city centre track, Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, fell into disrepair. At the same time that upgrades were needed, Mexico was being priced out of F1.
An increasing number of emerging markets were attracted to the sport and their governments were prepared to pay top dollar to host an F1 race, promoting themselves to the sport's global television audience that hit 425 million people last year.
This drove up the F1 race-hosting fee, with Mexico understood to be paying $25m (Â£16m) annually to regain its place at the F1 table. It is a price that President Nieto thinks is worth paying.
The 48 year-old took office in December 2012, precisely the time at which the exciting new breed of Mexican F1 drivers were emerging.
Esteban GutiÃ©rrez joined Sauber in 2013, but Ferrari's talent spotters snapped him up this year.
Sergio Perez started in 2011 and also began at Sauber. Two years later, he switched to McLaren before moving to Force India for 2014. He soon proved his worth by finishing third at the Bahrain GP in April last year, repeating the trick at the Russian GP earlier this month before finishing fifth in last weekend's US grand prix. This has helped rev up home support for F1 in the run up to this weekend's Mexican race.
"Projected attendance in Mexico is probably around 110,000, and when you count personnel, teams, cleaners, security you're probably looking about 120,000," says Mr Hellmund. It dwarves the race's peak attendance of 100,000 in 1992, according to motorsport statistics database Forix.
"They could have sold 300,000 on race day this year, but the price is a lot for Mexico, if not for Formula 1," says Mr Hellmund. Tickets start at $91, rising up to $1,132, which is just shy of the $1,300 peak for the US GP - the race's closest competitor geographically.
The difference is that Mexico is one of the poorest nations on earth. In July, government social development agency Coneval reported that the poverty rate increased last year to 46.2%, equivalent to 55.3 million people in the nation of nearly 120 million.
The population is concentrated in Greater Mexico City, which is home to 21.2 million people, making it the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere and the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world.
It is the city's ardent fan-base that caught Mr Hellmund's attention.
This weekend's race is a homecoming for him as his late father, Gustavo Hellmund-Rosas, was responsible for the Mexican GP returning in 1986 after a 15-year absence.
Mr Hellmund was a born promoter and seized the moment a decade ago when the US GP was in the middle of a turbulent eight years at Indianapolis. In 2007, the city finally severed its ties with F1 and this was the catalyst for Mr Hellmund's bid to bring the US GP to Austin, where he now lives.
"It was always the plan to get Austin up and running then get a second grand prix in Mexico," he says. "It has history and a personal attachment because of my father's relationship with it."
The plan was driven by Mr Hellmund and his counterpart in Mexico, Alejandro Soberon, chief executive of the world's third largest live entertainment company, Corporacion Interamericana de Entretenimiento (CIE), which is promoting the race and leases the track.
"I had to convince Bernie [Ecclestone] that I had found the right location for the race and that I had found the right partners in CIE," says Mr Hellmund.
F1 has raised Austin's profile internationally and Mr Hellmund is confident Mexico will share the same glow.
"I think they will sustain it for at least five years. A lot of the ticket deals sold to the public in Mexico are tied up for that long - more than 20%. There's enough of a following and a passion for motorsport in Latin America that having local drivers is not an absolute necessity, but I think it certainly helps."
On Sunday, all eyes in Mexico will be on them.


Inner city schools, high levels of deprivation, not speaking English as a first language, a large majority of pupils from ethnic minorities...

And what do you get? The most successful school system in the country.
The city state of London has become an education superpower.
The latest evidence comes from some remarkable statistics tracking pupils' progress after leaving school.
They overturn the conventional wisdom that poorer pupils are doomed to do less well than their richer counterparts.
Among those taking A-levels, 63% of inner London pupils eligible for free school meals continue into higher education.
It's a higher figure than for better-off pupils in the rest of the country. In simple terms, deprived teenagers in inner London are overtaking more affluent youths outside London.
Take a step back and think what it means. Teenagers on free school meals in Haringey and Lewisham are more likely to go to university than better off youngsters in Hampshire or East Sussex.
But what is driving London's spectacular success?
It's become a subject of growing fascination for researchers, looking for the mystery ingredients.
Teach First's Sam Freedman says in his blog that it is "perhaps the biggest question in education policy".
There were two reports last week trying to unravel the puzzle, from the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the CfBT Education Trust, with the capital's progress described as being of "international significance".
Among the theories for London's stellar results:
•          make better use of data tracking pupil performance
•          rapid intervention to tackle underperformance
•          more academies
•          better support from councils
•          the London Challenge project to support schools
•          Teach First, which recruits top graduates into challenging schools
•          primary literacy and numeracy strategies feeding through the system
•          migrant families ambitious for their children to succeed
But how about throwing some other external factors into the mix?
London, unlike anywhere else in the country, is a graduate economy. According to the Office for National Statistics, 60% of the working-age population in inner London has a degree.
Whether it's a workplace for a barrister or a barista, there are going to be graduates. And it means that a disproportionate number of children in London's schools are going to have graduate parents - even if they are not particularly affluent.
This must have a positive impact on the support available to children at home.
In terms of the diversity of the population, it is the most global city imaginable. More than 80% of children in inner London primary schools are from ethnic minorities, more than half do not speak English as a first language.
In Brent, more than 94% of secondary pupils are not in the "white British" category - and 74% of pupils taking A-levels went on to higher education.
It can't be clear yet how this mobile, ambitious, multicultural population will fit into any traditional models of class. The rigid tramlines of social expectation - depressingly linked to success or failure in education - might no longer apply.
A senior education figure, reluctant to speak on this publicly, says that in terms of driving improvements, the most dynamic combination comes when you have a migrant group which is materially poor, but which places a high status on education. For these families, getting the most from education is their children's passport to a better life.
It's the white working class, a small minority now in inner London, who still seem to remain the outsiders of the education system.
London schools also serve a very well informed population, no one is more than a few clicks on their mobile phone away from a lot of comparisons about schools. Parents are making some sharp consumer decisions.
Of course this school information is available outside London - and families across the country will be weighing up their best choices.
But what is different is the sheer density of options for parents in the capital. Buses are free for schoolchildren - another practical difference - and that puts a lot of different schools in reach. For these teenagers, the world can be their Oystercard.
Even when the most sought-after schools are oversubscribed and unobtainable for parents - it still provides a local reminder of what should be available.
This must apply upward pressure on the system. Heads are under intense scrutiny to get good results. And London schools have become very skilled at maximising their exam grades. The dark arts of data-driven education must be another part of the story.
According to London Councils, in the first decade of the century the proportion of London pupils achieving five good GCSEs rose from 45% to 81%. It's a massive jump - and assuming pupils didn't suddenly all become much cleverer - it shows how much schools have improved in getting the best possible results for their pupils.
Another distinctive feature of London schools is that they come in so many different varieties. There is no "typical" school. There are parts of the capital with a high number of academies and others where local authority schools predominate. There are more faith schools in London than anywhere else. Free schools are adding to the mix. And the sheer cheek-by-jowl nature of the city puts many different types of school in reach.
All these varieties will have their supporters and detractors, but it would be hard to argue in favour of a take-what-you're-given system as an alternative.
Of course nothing is perfect. The rapid rise in population is going to put increasing strain on the system. It's no use having great schools if they don't have a place for your children.
But it must be seen as that rarest of things, a really optimistic education story.


Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will ask the prime minister to give Holyrood powers to set the minimum wage and control National Insurance.

She told MSPs that she expected to meet David Cameron later this week.
The SNP won 56 of the 59 Scottish seats at the general election, making it the third largest political party in the House of Commons.
Ms Sturgeon said she hoped Mr Cameron would agree to look again at plans to hand more powers to Holyrood.
After the "No" vote in last September's Scottish independence referendum, Lord Smith of Kelvin was appointed to look at what additional powers might be handed to Scotland.
The Smith Commission made a series of recommendations which were approved by Scotland's political parties.
Ms Sturgeon, the first minister and leader of the SNP, told MSPs that she had a phone conversation with Mr Cameron on Friday and had subsequently written to him asking for a meeting.
Ms Sturgeon told the Holyrood chamber that last week's election result, which saw the SNP increase its seat tally from six to 56, was of "truly historic proportions".
Of her impending meeting with Mr Cameron, whose Conservative Party won a majority in the election, she said: "Public spending and the protection of Scotland's budget will be key issues on the agenda when we do meet. The issue too of more powers for the parliament must form part of our discussions.
"If the PM and his government mean what they say about respecting the outcome of the election in Scotland, they must now agree with us a process which looks again at the Smith Commission proposals with a view to extending devolution even further and that is a process that must be made here in Scotland."
She added: "As a matter of priority we want to see devolution of powers over employment policy including the minimum wage; welfare; business taxes; National Insurance and equality policy - the powers we need to create jobs, grow revenues and lift people out of poverty."
In response to Ms Sturgeon's statement, Scottish Labour's Deputy leader Kezia Dugdale wished the SNP's "strong team at Westminster" well, and urged it to oppose Conservative efforts to repeal the Human Rights Act.
She said: "These benches will do everything that we can to oppose any attempt that the Tories make to scrap the Human Rights Act.
"Enacted in the early days of a fresh Labour government full of hope and aspiration for the future, the Act embodies the civil and political rights which are fundamental to any liberal democracy."
Ms Dugdale also said there was "fear and trepidation in the air" in Scottish communities over Tory plans to "attack disability benefits".
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson congratulated Ms Sturgeon on the SNP's election performance, and also Prime Minister David Cameron "in managing what no Prime Minister has done since 1955 - increasing the number of votes and seats while already in office".
She said: "While in Scotland we did not manage to add to the seats total, we did contribute to the share of the vote with 434,000 fellow Scots voting for the Conservative Party - the most in any election since devolution."
Ahead of her appearance in the chamber of the Scottish Parliament, Ms Sturgeon held talks with the Scottish Trade Union Congress in which a Memorandum of Understanding urging Mr Cameron to end his pursuit of economic austerity was agreed.
The newly-appointed Scottish secretary, David Mundell, told BBC Scotland on Tuesday that the Smith proposals were the "right package" for the country and would give the Scottish Parliament "the powers that it needs to be an effective and powerful devolved parliament within the context of a United Kingdom".


Two prisoners have escaped from India's maximum security Tihar jail in Delhi by digging a tunnel under a wall and scaling another, authorities said.

The men, awaiting trial for burglary, were found missing when they failed to show up for roll call on Sunday.
Officials said one of the fugitives had been captured and was being questioned.
The jail, thought to be Asia's largest, houses some 13,500 prisoners, including many of India's most feared militants, gangsters and other criminals.
This is the first time inmates have dug their way out of Tihar, reports said.
In what appears to be a carefully planned prison break reminiscent of the Hollywood film Shawshank Redemption, the two men - Faizan and Javed - are believed to have scaled the wall of one jail building to reach another where they dug a tunnel under the perimeter wall and crawled out through a drain, the Times of India reported.
Officials say they are still trying to piece together exactly how the escape was executed.
"They escaped sometime on Saturday or Sunday. We will find out how they  managed to escape. It is too early to say how and when they staged the jail break," news agency AFP quoted Tihar's deputy inspector general Mukesh Prasad as saying.
The prison has a maximum capacity of 6,250 prisoners but is massively overcrowded.
Officials said an investigation had been ordered to find out how the prisoners managed to slip past armed guards and electronic surveillance.


A church and several businesses have claimed a lap dancing club in Doncaster is harming the image of the town.

New licensing rules mean Players Club on Printing Office Street must apply for a sexual entertainment venue licence.
Objectors to the club, which has been operating for three years, claim it gives the wrong impression to shoppers and visitors.
TR Leisure Ltd, which owns the club, declined to comment on the objections.
Players employs about 35 people and offers nude lap dancing, topless pole dancing and strip-tease.
All such venues must now have a sexual entertainment licence to continue trading.
In a joint letter to the licensing committee, 12 local businesses have expressed concerns about the image the club projects.
The letter read: "We do not want to be the 'Ayia Napa' of Yorkshire so let's put a stop to it."
The Reverend Stephen Clark, from the nearby Priory Place Methodist Church, has also written to councillors.
He said the town centre was not a suitable area for this kind of venue.
The application will be considered by councillors in Doncaster on 11 January.


Voting is taking place to elect new MPs in the Stoke-on-Trent Central and Copeland by-elections.

Polling stations will be open until 22:00 GMT.
The two contests follow the resignations of Labour MPs Tristram Hunt, in Stoke-on-Trent Central, and Jamie Reed, in Copeland, in Cumbria.
Strong wind and rain are forecast in both constituencies as Storm Doris crosses central and northern parts of England.
Both sets of results are expected in the early hours of Friday.

A US mother who accidentally smothered her newborn son as she slept is suing the hospital where his death occurred for $8.6m (Â£6.6m).

Monica Thompson says nurses were negligent in allowing her to breastfeed her four-day-old baby, Jacob, while sedated and without supervision.
According to the lawsuit, nurses brought Mrs Thompson's son to her ward bed at around 03:00 on 6 August 2012.
After drifting off, she awoke to find the infant unresponsive.
Earlier that night she had been given "narcotic painkillers and sleep aids" by nurses at the Portland Adventist Medical Center in the state of Oregon, her lawsuit states.
Her son had been born "healthy" by Cesarean section, according to the lawsuit.
Six days after the accident, he was removed from life support, after doctors advised he would never recover from the brain damage.
Mrs Thompson is seeking compensation for the baby's "desperation and anxiety" and her own "severe emotional distress upon unintentionally killing her firstborn child".
"She called for a nurse while she tried to get him to respond," her lawsuit claims.
"Mrs Thompson tried to stimulate her son's suckling reflexes without success.
"She touched his eyes and got no response. She poked him and talked to him with no reaction.
"When no nurse came to help, Mrs Thompson carried her son to the hallway and frantically yelled for help."
The Portland Adventist Medical Center said in a statement: "This was a tragic event and our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the family.
"Adventist Medical Center is committed to providing quality, compassionate care to all of our patients.
"We are reviewing the claims being made and we are unable to provide any additional information at this time."
The American Academy of Pediatrics has previously recommended infants should not sleep in the same bed with parents, due to the risk the child could be smothered under an adult's shifting weight.
Some countries, such as Finland, have reduced their infant mortality rate by distributing cardboard box cribs to every new mother.


Opponents of the plan to share medical records on a giant database are "peddling scaremongering myths", medical research organisations say.

The warning by Patients4Data, an umbrella group for more than 70 bodies, comes after the launch of Care.data was delayed this week to the autumn.
Patients4Data said the opponents risked preventing patients benefiting from a revolution in modern medicine.
But privacy campaigners maintain their concerns are justified.
When it is compiled, Care.data will be a giant database of medical records showing how individuals have been cared for across the GP and hospital sectors.
Researchers believe the information will be vital in helping them develop new treatments, as well as assessing the performance of NHS services.
The records will be pseudonymised, which means the identifiable data has been taken out. Instead, they will just contain each patient's age range, gender and area they live in.
Although researchers can apply for those safeguards to be lifted in exceptional circumstances, such as during an epidemic, this will need the permission of the health secretary.
The central database will involve taking records from GP practices and linking them with hospital files.
Experts say it will enable them to assess diseases, examine new drugs on the market and identify infection outbreaks, as well as monitor the performance of the NHS.
To date, information has been available about what happens in hospitals, but not what goes on in GP surgeries.
The information made available on the database will be stripped of identifiable data, although it will include the gender, age band and area a patient lives in.
The collection of medical records was due to have started in April, but NHS England announced on Tuesday that would now not happen for six months to allow for a fresh public information campaign.
Influential bodies such as Healthwatch England and the British Medical Association support the principle of sharing data but had called for a delay, saying the public had not been properly informed about the scheme.
But concerns had also been expressed that the programme could lead to privacy problems and data breaches.
By Adam BrimelowHealth Correspondent, BBC News
The care.data programme faces a challenge of trust. NHS England will have to persuade people the benefits of sharing medical data outweigh any risks.
The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) at the Maudsley hospital offers an encouraging model.
In six years it has accumulated data on 250,000 patients. Just two people have opted out.
Those running the project say they have gone to great lengths to ensure patients understand what the scheme is for and how it works.
The information is highly sensitive but identifying details of patients and their carers are stripped out. Every application to use the system goes through an oversight committee led by patients.
The project has exposed high mortality rates for people with mental illness, and is shaping new approaches to improve their care.
George Freeman, a  Conservative MP and founder of Patients4Data, which represents charities and drug companies, said: "There are those who oppose not just the mechanism of data handling but the principle of patient empowerment and greater accountability.
"We cannot let opponents peddling scaremongering myths stop patients benefiting from this quiet revolution of modern medicine. There are issues to be addressed. But data is a force for good, not a Big Brother-style conspiracy."
But a spokesman for MedConfidential, one of the most vocal opponents of Care.data, said it would like the project replaced.
"MedConfidential is campaigning to ensure that every flow of data into, within and out of the NHS is consensual, safe and transparent.
"The problem with Care.data is not mere miscommunication, it is that the entire scheme fails to meet the first and last of those criteria. It remains to be seen if it can be made safe, but it is for its proponents to prove this to the public's satisfaction before any upload is permitted to proceed."


In 2005, cricketer Andrew Flintoff was named Sports Personality of the Year.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The England all-rounder was the best player in the 2005 home Ashes victory over Australia having produced match-winning moments throughout.
Flintoff scored 141 runs in total in the second Test, a crucial century in the fourth Test and took 23 wickets throughout the series to help England regain the Ashes.
He became the first cricketer since Sir Ian Botham, in 1981, to win the coveted BBC award.
BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2015 is broadcast live from Belfast on Sunday, 20 December from 19:00 GMT on BBC One. Further coverage on BBC Sport's online platforms and Radio 5 live.


Research into the way sharks are able to regenerate teeth throughout their lives could be used to help fight tooth loss in humans.

17 February 2016 Last updated at 19:10 GMT
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have identified the genes, which also present in humans, that sharks use to develop and replace teeth.
It is believed the study could help to develop therapies that might overcome tooth loss.


A fire at ITV studios has forced breakfast programme Good Morning Britain off air.

London Fire Brigade said the fire was in the post room in a block of offices and ITV television centre on London's South Bank.
Fifty people were evacuated from the block while firefighters tackled the blaze, which has now been put out.
ITV replaced Good Morning Britain with a pre-recorded programme.
A statement released by London Fire Brigade said: "Four fire engines and 21 firefighters and officers have tackled a small fire at ITV Studios on London's Southbank this morning.
"Part of a post room on the first floor was damaged by fire. The fire meant that Good Morning Britain was taken off air."
The Brigade was called just before 07:00 GMT. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
A message on the GMB Twitter account read: "We've been evacuated because of a fire alarm. Everyone's safe and we're hoping to get back in and on air ASAP."
Presenter Ben Shephard later tweeted a picture of his co-hosts Kate Garraway and Ranvir Singh with some of the firefighters.
"We're all outside, the building has been evacuated. The fire service are here now so we're not too worried, but who knows when we'll actually get back on air," said Kate Garraway in a video posted on Twitter.
ITV began broadcasting a pre-recorded version of GMB as the building was evacuated before an episode of Dinner Date began just after 7.30am.
Good Morning Britain remained off air until the Lorraine programme began as scheduled at 08:30 GMT.
The show was also taken off-air last August when another fire caused the studios to be evacuated.
At the time, a member of staff at the building said the fire occurred when a "fuse box overheated and went on fire on the third floor", which is where GMB is filmed.


Freddie Gray's fatal injuries were the result of slamming into the back of a Baltimore police van, a Washington TV station reported.

Citing police sources, WJLA reported that a medical examiner determined Gray's neck was broken when his head struck the back of the van.
Other injuries to his head matched the shape of a bolt in the van.
His death is one of several involving black Americans and police which has sparked unrest and national debate.
Baltimore police have admitted that Gray was not secured in the van by a seatbelt, against department policy, and that he requested medical attention while being transported in the van but was denied.
Video footage filmed by a passerby showed a visibly distressed Gray being handcuffed on the ground pushed into the back of the van. Police said he ran after seeing two officers, who chased him and arrested him when they found a switchblade-style knife in his trousers.
Gray lapsed into a coma following the journey on 12 April and died a week later.
Maryland medical examiner's office has refused to comment on cause of death while the investigation is ongoing.
The van transporting Gray made a previously undisclosed fourth stop while en route to the police station, police revealed on Thursday.
Previously, police had said the van made three stops, including one to put him in leg irons and another to pick up different prisoner.
The fourth stop was captured on a CCTV camera outside a Korean food shop.
The shop's owner, Jung Hyun Hwang told the Associated Press news agency that police officers visited last week to make a copy of the recording - which was later lost when the shop was looted during the riots.
Mr Hwang said he had not viewed the recording and did not know what it showed.
Police said the footage was discovered during a view of public and private CCTV cameras in the area.
According to the police timeline of the arrest, the van took 30 minutes to take Gray to the police station, where paramedics were called.
Investigators have now handed over their inquiry into Gray's death to the state's attorney's office.
The city's top prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, will now decide whether to take the case to a grand jury to seek an indictment of any of the six officers involved.
Five of the six officers involved in the arrest gave statements to investigators the day Gray was injured. All six have been suspended.
A separate investigation by the US department of justice is also under way.
After two nights of violent protests, Baltimore's streets were relatively calm on Thursday. The city is still under a curfew requiring people to be off the streets by 22:00 (02:00 GMT).
What we know about Gray's death


Foam made by miniature frogs to protect their eggs could offer a clever way to deliver healing drugs to burns patients, say scientists.

Tough bubbles could trap and deliver medication while providing a protective barrier between the wound dressing and the damaged skin, they believe.
The Strathclyde University researchers have begun making a synthetic version of foam.
They are taking inspiration from the tiny Tungara frog from Trinidad.
After mating, the 5cm-sized amphibians whip up a bubbly nest that protects the spawn for days from disease, predators and weather.
The foam is made of at least six proteins that retain the shape and strength of the nest.
Dr Paul Hoskisson and his colleagues say they have worked out the composition of four of these proteins and have begun mixing their own recipe.
When they loaded their synthetic foam with a dye as a test, they found it released it at a steady rate for up to seven days.
Next they loaded it with an antibiotic drug called vancomycin and found the drug was released and worked as it should on infected laboratory samples, without damaging the health of cells.
But they say they are still some way off creating a foam that is as stable as the one made by the frogs.
Dr Hoskisson said: "I'd say we are about half way there, to making a stable foam. Once we do that, we would then need to test it in patients, but that will take a few years yet."
While foams like these are a long way from hitting the clinic, they could eventually help patients with infected wounds and burns, by providing support and protection for healing tissue and delivering drugs at the same time, said Dr Hoskisson.
The researchers are presenting their early work to the Microbiology Society's Annual Conference taking place in Liverpool.


Dame Shirley Bassey is to receive the honour of freedom of the city of Cardiff, it has been announced.

The decision was taken by Cardiff councillors on Thursday.
Leader Rodney Berman said the honour recognised Dame Shirley's contribution to Wales, the Welsh capital, showbusiness and her charity work.
The 75-year-old singer was made a Dame in 1999, and will be performing at a special concert to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in June.
Mr Berman said: "The work she has done in promoting Cardiff and Wales is priceless. It is hard to think of someone from such a humble upbringing in Butetown and Splott who has gone on to become such a huge international star.
"She has never forgotten Cardiff when it has come to helping us mark milestone events in the city - such as the opening of the Rugby World Cup in 1999 and the concert at the Millennium Stadium to mark the start of the 2010 Ryder Cup.
"I will personally never forget seeing Dame Shirley steal the show in her Welsh flag dress at the concert to mark the official opening of the National Assembly for Wales."
The council leader said Dame Shirley's charity work deserved recognition in itself.
He added: "Whether that's for the scholarship which bears her name at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama or for her long-standing and very generous association with the Noah's Ark Appeal for the Children's Hospital of Wales as Patron, she has done much to help others in Cardiff over a number of years.
Dame Shirley will become only the 61st person to be given the freedom of Cardiff in the 116 years since the first award was made.
She will be joining an illustrious list of recipients that include Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Pope John Paul II and Princess Diana.
The honour was last given to an individual in 2006, when it was awarded to the former president of the Welsh Rugby Union and Victoria Cross recipient, the late Sir Tasker Watkins.
While the freedom of the city does not confer any special privileges, it is the highest honour that the council can award.
Arrangements are now being made for a special ceremony to mark the honour, and will take place later in the year.


A 13-year-old runaway boy who took his father's car and drove nearly 1,000km (620 miles) across Europe is being re-united with his family.

The boy fled after a reported row with his parents in Italy.
Having driven from Italy into Austria, he proceeded to Germany where he was stopped by police after his family had alerted Interpol.
The boy, who had been adopted two years ago, was reportedly heading to his original home country, Poland.
The teenager lives in the northern Italian town of Montebelluna.
After an argument with his adoptive mother - allegedly over a mobile phone payment - the boy, a keen go-cart racer, left on Thursday afternoon.
And he seems to have been completely confident at the wheel of his father's high-powered Mercedes car.
His parents say he was probably heading for Poland - he was said to be missing his sister who lives there and to have been in touch with her via the internet, according to Italian media.
The car was eventually tracked and stopped near Moisburg, in northern Germany.
Police said it was "incredible" that the boy-driver had managed to cross two international borders and filled up with petrol twice without anyone en route raising the alarm.
The teenager's parents are understood to have gone to Germany to bring him home.


Controversial cuts to elderly and children's services in Oxford have been abandoned after opposing councillors reached a last-minute deal.

Around 200 people, including David Cameron's aunt, had gathered outside County Hall to protest Oxfordshire County Council budget for 2016-17.
Elderly day centres and children's centres had been in line for £2m cuts under the plans.
Members voted in favour of an amended budget.
The decision came after a private meeting between the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat groups.
Councillors voted 60 in favour and two against the new budget.
Political reporter Bethan Philips said: "In the previous budget they said they had £11m still to find, but now they are saying they have £15m to find.
"They may have just kicked the decision down the road."
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
At the protest before the meeting Clare Currie, the prime minister's aunt, called the services, including children's centres, "really vital for people's wellbeing".
She said she had written to the prime minister about her opposition to the cuts.
She added: "I think if they're cut an awful lot of families and old people and homeless… their lives will be diminished.
"[David Cameron] is against the children's centres cutting... it's central government who are cutting the money and I think they're making a great error."
The county council has said it has been forced to find £361m in savings between 2010 and 2020.
Members of the Unite union employed in early intervention at the council are currently staging a 24-hour strike in protest at the plans.
Dave Ricketts, who works at the Abingdon early intervention hub, said: "It's going to be pretty depressing for people to go out there every day committed to working with our families and young people, and feeling that energy to do a good job knowing the cloud of redundancy is hanging over them, so it's pretty dire."


The Irish Sports Council says funding to the IABA will be reviewed after Ireland coach Billy Walsh resigned.

Walsh stepped down after a contract dispute with the IABA, saying it had "not made it possible for me to continue on in the role".
"I want a rethink within the next 24 hours by the IABA of their total approach to this," Irish Sports Council chairman Kieran Mulvey told RTE.
"We'll have to review our relationship with the IABA."
Walsh stepped down on Monday after 12 years in the post to take up a new position in the United States.
Ireland won Olympic, World and European gold medals at amateur level during Walsh's successful period as coach.
Mulvey added that a 22 August agreement with the Irish Amateur Boxing Association, relating to Walsh, was never put to its board.
"My view now is that deal should be offered to Billy even at this late date and give up the nonsense that's going on now in the IABA about this," he said.
"What was so unacceptable about the agreement of the 22nd August that it was never put to the board and never put to Billy Walsh even though it was agreed by him - what's the problem? I don't know what the problem is.
"Billy Walsh gave up in frustration - all you have to hear is his statement of a man who does not want to go America but is being forced by the petty indignities he was facing in this country."
The IABA said it had "done its utmost to retain Billy Walsh as Head Coach".


There are going to be some big changes to how the UK deals with its neighbours in Europe.

23 February 2017 Last updated at 07:22 GMT
It's all because of something you might have heard mentioned a lot recently: Brexit.
Across the whole of the UK most people voted to leave the EU, but in Scotland, most people wanted to stay in it.
Jenny went to Glasgow to find out what kids there think now the UK is leaving the EU.


The UK government does not intend to make alternative plans for the storage of the UK's nuclear weapons outside of Scotland, it has emerged.

The Scottish government opposes the Trident missile system and the storing of nuclear weapons in the country.
On Monday, MPs will vote on whether or not to renew Trident, which is based at Faslane on the Clyde.
No contingency plans for moving Trident were put in place in the run up to the 2014 Scottish independence vote.
The Scottish government had pledged it would get rid of nuclear weapons if Scotland voted to leave the UK.
The MoD has said it was not anticipating another referendum and Faslane is the best place for the weapons to be based.
After the UK referendum vote to leave the EU, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said a second independence referendum was now "highly likely".
And at David Cameron's final PMQs this week, SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson said one of Theresa May's first tasks as the new prime minister would be to impose Trident "against the will of almost every single MP from Scotland".
Mr Cameron responded: "On Trident, there will be a vote in this house and it's right that this house should decide and many people in Scotland support our nuclear deterrent, maintaining it and the jobs that come to Scotland."


Adam Lyth scored a maiden Test century for England before late wickets dragged New Zealand back into the second Test.

Lyth shared an opening stand of 177 with Alastair Cook, who made 75 and became England's leading Test run scorer of all time.
But, after Lyth was run out for 107, England lost three wickets to the second new ball to close day two at Headingley on 253-5, 97 behind.
New Zealand were earlier bowled out for 350, with Stuart Broad taking 5-109.
That represented a determined fightback from 2-2 in the third over of the match, the tourists aided by some English inaccuracy that continued on the second morning.
The Black Caps bowled with greater discipline than their hosts, but mostly in overhead conditions suited to batting, albeit on a pitch offering assistance from a good length.
They got their rewards deep into the evening, with Trent Boult and Tim Southee swinging the second new ball under dark clouds.
Boult bowled a flat-footed Gary Ballance, Southee took Joe Root's outside edge and Ben Stokes poked at a Boult outswinger to leave the match evenly poised.
Before that, some watchful batting looked set to put England in a commanding position.
They were led by Lyth and Cook, who recorded England's highest Test opening stand at Headingley and their first in excess of 100 in a home match since 2011.
Both left-handers showed good judgement around off stump and an ability to punish width, Cook with cuts, Lyth with back-foot drives.
Cook, who also displayed characteristic touches off his pads, posted the first landmark of the day, driving Southee for four to reach the 32 runs required to pass Graham Gooch's record of 8,900 Test runs.
Lyth, looking to secure an Ashes place, also flicked fine on the leg side and went to a first half-century in his second Test with a pull for four off Matt Henry.
While Cook's innings was chanceless, Lyth almost patted a return catch back to Henry on 53 and was even more fortunate to survive on 90 when he chopped Southee on to his stumps, only for the bails to remain unmoved.
It was Cook, though, who was first to go, sweeping the tidy off-spin of Mark Craig to be given out lbw when the original not-out decision was overturned on review.
Yorkshire's Lyth, on his home ground, continued to three figures, reached with a slog-sweep for four off Craig.
However, when a Ballance call for a single to point left Lyth unable to beat the throw of Boult, it began New Zealand's period of resurgence.
Four wickets fell for 32 runs, leaving Ian Bell and Jos Buttler to see England through to the close.
A disappointing end reflected a frustrating beginning to the day for the home side, whose persistent short bowling allowed the tourists to add 53 runs in seven overs to their overnight 297-8.
Broad took both wickets to fall, Henry and Boult swiping to be caught behind and at point respectively.
That completed his 13th five-wicket haul but, with an economy rate of 6.34 runs an over, it is the most expensive in Test history.

Preparations have begun for events marking the centenary of the Western Isles' Iolaire Disaster.

The yacht Iolaire was wrecked on a reef called the Beasts of Holm just off the Isle of Lewis in the early hours of 1 January 1919.
The ship was carrying home hundreds of sailors following the end of World War One. Of the 280 on board, 205 died.
The Stornoway Amenity Trust has received Â£8,000 of lottery funding for a project recalling the tragedy.
The Iolaire Memorial Project will focus on commemorating the disater in the run up to the centenary of the disaster in 2019.
Islanders are to be asked for their memories of those who were involved in World War One.
The project will work in close partnership with school pupils and staff at The Nicolson Institute in Stornoway, on Lewis, and Stornoway Historical Society, as well as other local history organisations.
A film and a ceremony for the opening of a permanent memorial in Carn Gardens, Stornoway, also form parts of the project.
Tony Robson, of the Stornoway Amenity Trust, said: "The Stornoway Amenity Trust is delighted to be working closely with pupils from The Nicolson Institute and to offer the opportunity for pupils to learn more about the Iolaire Disaster and contribute significantly to the commemoration of an event that is rooted in their local history and, in some cases, their ancestry."
Western Isles Council - Comhairle nan Eilean - is also involved in organising commemorative events.
Councillor Norman A MacDonald said: "The impact of the Iolaire tragedy was felt in our communities throughout the islands and is recognised as being hugely significant in the context of the WWI commemorations."
Most of those killed were from the islands of Lewis and Harris.
The last survivor of the Iolaire - which means "eagle" in Gaelic - died in 1992.
The yacht set sail from Kyle of Lochalsh on the west Highlands mainland on New Year's Eve 1918.
Making its final approach into Stornoway harbour on a dark night and in a strong gale, it changed course at the wrong point.
With the lights of the harbour in sight, the ship struck rocks at full speed and immediately began to tilt, filling up with water.
Although the stern of the boat was at one point just six metres (20ft) from land, many of the men onboard were weighed down by their heavy uniforms and were unable to swim ashore.
The next morning the bodies that had been recovered or washed up were laid out for families to identify.
The cause of the disaster was never conclusively determined. A public inquiry was unable to establish the reasons for the accident.


Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has brushed aside suggestions he joined Shanghai SIPG purely for financial reasons.

The 29-year-old, who previously spent four years with Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates, insists he wants to make his mark on Chinese football.
"I don't understand the criticism, I work hard for what I earn. I am focused on my job, "he told BBC Sport.
"They play good football (in China). I will have to adapt to their style and take it from there."
I have always said that the most important thing is that I score goals.
Gyan's comments come after some people in Ghana have voiced their opinion that the striker has shunned more established leagues and stronger sporting competition for the chance to make a fortune.
"It is not as if I am doing anything illegal or robbing people of their money," he countered. "I have learnt to turn the negatives into positives and so I make my decisions and understand that everyone works for money.
"At the end of my career, people will not criticise me anymore. They will move on to the next person. And at the end of my career the most important thing will be how well I did for myself, my family and those closest to me. This time is my era so I have to make sure I make the most of it."
Gyan also dismissed speculation he may lose his sharpness in a league that some people believe will not test him enough.
"I heard those concerns when I was going to Al Ain but I continued to score important goals for the Black Stars," he said. "I have always said that the most important thing is that I score goals. That is what the fans in Ghana and everywhere I play want. And I have scored goals consistently."
Ghana's record goalscorer also outlined his desire to help his new Chinese side win titles and there is evidence from his spell in the UAE that he is capable of doing that. In four years at Al Ain he scored 95 times in 83 appearances and won three domestic titles in the process.
His new boss, the former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, believes that Gyan's form in the UAE is proof of his quality.
"From the club he played in Emirates he scored more goals than the games he played so we are all very happy to have him," said Eriksson.
And on Thursday, Gyan made a flying start to his career with Shanghai by coming off the bench to score the winner against Tianjin Tada. The 2-1 victory lifted Shanghai to the top of the table.


There was some relief for Scotland's national newspapers last month, according to the latest sales figures.

The Herald and The Scotsman both enjoyed their best sales for several months although their circulations were both well down on last year.
The Herald had headline sales of 55,135 while The Scotsman had an average circulation of 46,138 copies each day.
Meanwhile, The Daily Record's Scottish sales moved above the 300,000 barrier again after a dip in recent months.
The recovery at The Herald may be a sign that its sales are starting to stabilise. This is its best circulation figure since April.
New editor Jonathan Russell made a change in his first few days in the job which would have been immediately obvious to many regular readers, radically redesigning the front page to make it much more bold and eye-catching.
The move was the subject of much discussion amongst other media professionals and the sales figures may indicate that it has caught the eye of casual readers too.
The Scotsman always tends to put on sales in August during the Edinburgh Festival.
But for both the papers, which consider themselves to be Scotland's quality press, the annual comparisons are still ominous.
The Scotsman dropped from 50,570 in August 2009 to 46,138 last month. The Herald fell from 58,157 to 55,135.
In the case of The Scotsman almost 4,000 of the circulation is accounted for by copies given away free at places such as hotels and airports.
Across the UK, The Times, Daily Telegraph and The Guardian all saw bigger annual percentage declines than The Herald and The Scotsman within Scotland.
The Daily Mail sold more than 120,000 copies a day in Scotland last month while The Times sold nearly 24,000. The Daily Telegraph was bought by just over 23,000 people a day.
The Scottish edition of The Sun had a circulation of 344,000.
On Sundays, the Sunday Herald had a circulation of 43,788 within Scotland, Scotland on Sunday 57,119 and the Sunday Times 63,850.
The Sunday Times scaled back its Scottish operation in June but it still comfortably outsells the quality papers published north of the border.


Connacht centre Bundee Aki has been banned for three matches after admitting a charge of misconduct.

The offence referred to Aki's behaviour to and remarks directed toward referee Ian Davies during and after Connacht's defeat by Leinster on 15 April.
The 27-year-old will miss his side's remaining Pro12 games of the regular season against Scarlets and Munster.
Aki will also sit out Connacht's Champions Cup play-off match on the weekend of 19-21 May.
The Kiwi can return to play from Monday, 22 May so he would be available to return for the following week's play-off final should Pat Lam's side progress.
Aki faced a two-man disciplinary panel on Thursday via video link after a misconduct complaint was made against him by the disciplinary officer of Pro12 Rugby.
He received a warning about his behaviour from Davies in the 76th minute of the 37-24 loss in the interprovincial derby and then further remonstrated with the Welsh referee after full-time.
If Connacht remain in eighth place in the Pro12, they will face the English Premiership's seventh-placed team.
If they were to win that game, as it stands, they would face the winner of the encounter between the seventh-placed Top 14 side and Cardiff Blues for a place in Europe's premier club competition next season.
Aki will become eligible to play for Ireland under the three-year residency rule in October 2017.


Wales scrum-half Rhys Webb has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup because of a foot injury.

Webb joins full-back Leigh Halfpenny in missing the tournament after being injured in Saturday's final warm-up game with Italy in Cardiff.
The 26-year-old is replaced by Lions scrum-half Mike Phillips while Ospreys wing Eli Walker is also drafted back in to the squad to take Halfpenny's spot.
Both were part of the extended training pool but did not make the final cut.
Webb posted a message on social media saying: "Really disappointed to be ruled out of the RWC. After all the hard work I've put in over the summer, words can't describe how I'm feeling."
And Wales head coach Warren Gatland said: "It is extremely disappointing for both Leigh and Rhys.
"They have worked exceptionally hard to establish themselves on the world stage and to prepare for the tournament and we wish them all the best with their recovery.
"After announcing the squad we spoke about the need for players to remain ready for action and it is a great opportunity for Mike and Eli.
"It's great that we can call on players of this calibre. To bring Mike's experience into the squad is a bonus along with Eli's exciting talent."
Wales say Webb requires further assessments on both his foot and knee before details can be given about whether he requires surgery.
He left the field on a stretcher during the first-half against Italy on Saturday after being caught in a ruck.
Gatland's worst fears have now been realised with the loss of Webb and Halfpenny.
Webb has established himself as Wales' leading scrum-half, having been outstanding during last season's Six Nations Championship.
Halfpenny has scored 508 points in 62 appearances for his country and was voted man of the series when the British and Irish Lions beat Australia by two Tests to one in 2013.
Phillips will add plenty of experience on his return to the squad, having played in two previous World Cups during a 94-cap career. His five Lions caps mean he is one short of reaching the 100-cap milestone.
The 33-year-old was discarded from the squad in August as Gatland chose Webb, Gareth Davies and Lloyd Williams as the scrum-halves.
Walker is just starting his international career, the 23-year-old having only made his Wales debut against Ireland in August before being overlooked in favour of George North, Alex Cuthbert and Hallam Amos.
Wales are banking on Liam Williams to prove his fitness and take over from Halfpenny at full-back, with the Scarlets back only recently returning to full training following foot surgery in June.


Construction of a helium balloon to challenge the record for a non-stop flight around the world has begun.

Russian adventurer Fedor Konyukhov, 64, has committed to the trip in 2016 and signed-up Cameron Balloons in Bristol to design and build his equipment.
His attempt will begin in Northam, Australia, at some point next summer.
In 2002, American businessman Steve Fossett achieved the feat in just under 15 days, but Mr Konyukhov wants to beat the record by two days.
The design and build for Mr Konyukhov will be similar to that used by Mr Fossett, but with more modern materials and technology.
The gondola itself will be designed to carry the balloon's control systems, oxygen supplies, flight communication and navigational instruments.
It will also house a sleeping bunk, water supplies, food rations, life-saving emergency equipment, first aid supplies and clothing.


A majority of police forces in England and Wales saw record levels of hate crimes in the first full three months following the EU referendum, according to new analysis.

More than 14,000 hate crimes were recorded between July and September.
In 10 forces the number of suspected hate crimes increased by more than 50%, compared to the previous three months.
Police say their own monitoring suggests incidents have levelled out after the summer's spike.
Last October the Home Office published provisional figures which suggested the number of hate crimes in July 2016 had been 41% higher than 12 months earlier.
Those 5,468 reports indicated there had been a spike in reports - supporting anecdotal evidence across the country of an increased number of threatening, violent or abusive incidents.
The fresh data compiled by the Press Association comes from official statistics which include detailed figures for five core crimes which are deemed to be racially or religiously aggravated, ranging from assaults through to criminal damage.
In the three months to September 2016, 33 of the 44 forces in England and Wales saw their highest levels of hate crimes since comparable records began in 2012.
Dorset and Nottinghamshire saw the highest percentage increases in reports - 100% and 75% respectively - compared to the levels seen between March and the end of June. That previous period had included the referendum campaign itself and the week immediately after the vote.
The Metropolitan Police in London recorded the highest number of hates crimes, with 3,356 in that period, while Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire Police recorded 1,033 and 1,013 respectively.
South Yorkshire, Gloucestershire, Surrey and City of London Police posted falls in hate crime.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton, the National Police Chiefs' Council's lead for hate crime, said: "We know that national and global events have the potential to trigger short-terms rises in hate crime and we saw this following the EU referendum last year.
"Police forces took a robust approach to these crimes and reporting returned to previously seen levels.
"These numbers are still far too high.  We have increased the central reporting and monitoring functions to enable us to recognise spikes earlier. This will be used to assess any threats that may arise and inform local police activity."
Analysis by Dominic Casciani, BBC home affairs correspondent
While the overall figure from this analysis comes to 14,300 hate crimes in three months, it can't confidently be claimed as a quarterly national record across the UK because of the complicated way that hate crimes are counted.
There's no doubt there was a spike after the Brexit vote, but the long-term picture won't become clear for months. And if 2016 turns out to be a record year, there still needs to be some caution about what the figures mean.
Sexual offences rose in recent years thanks to more people coming forward to report what had happened to them.
If there is a long-term rise in hate crime recorded by police, it may simply reflect that victims have more confidence that it is worth speaking to the police.
But David Isaac, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, warned that many people remained anxious.
"It must be sensible to prepare for any possible spikes during the Brexit process," he said.
"The triggering of Article 50 is the next major milestone and we must do all we can to discourage hate attacks and to support people who feel at risk."
Fizza Qureshi of Migrants' Rights Network, a campaign group that runs an online service encouraging people to report hate crimes  and have them recorded on a real-time map, said: "The experience of thousands of people in the UK of discrimination, hostility and at times violence is invisible to many people in Britain - but today's figures lay it bare for all to see."


A 38-year-old Romanian man accused of trafficking, imprisoning and sexually abusing a woman from Eastern Europe has appeared in court.

Alin Rotariu, from Larkstone Street, south Belfast, was arrested on Tuesday.
He faces a total of 10 charges which indicate the alleged offences began in 2015.
On Tuesday, police were informed that a woman was being assaulted outside a property in Larkstone Street just off the Lisburn Road.
The 36-year-old woman they found there is being assessed as a potential victim of human trafficking.
Mr Rotariu was subsequently arrested following police inquiries.
Appearing at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Thursday, he faced a number of charges including human trafficking, rape, false imprisonment, common assault, threats to kill and the possession of an offensive weapon with intent.
It is alleged Mr Rotariu arranged for the woman from Eastern Europe to travel to Northern Ireland in September 2015.
It was alleged that since then he had subjected her to sexual and physical abuse.
When asked if he understood the charges, the accused said "I know, I know", but his solicitor added that while his client was aware of the charges he disputes them all.
A police officer told the court he believed he could connect the accused to the charges.
Mr Rotariu is due to appear again before the court for a bail application on 5 May.
Police say their inquiries are continuing and support is being given to the alleged victim who is in secure accommodation.


Disputes over the mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI) have nearly halved in a year, but the scandal is expected to rumble on.

The Financial Ombudsman Service, which rules on unresolved cases, said it had received 204,943 complaints about PPI in the 12 months to the end of March.
This was down 49% on the previous year, but the total still dwarfs complaints about other financial products.
The ombudsman service said PPI cases could still take years to work through.
PPI was designed to cover loan repayments in the event of redundancy or ill-health, but was widely mis-sold.
A huge programme of compensation was set up, which has now paid out more than Â£24bn.
The ombudsman arbitrates in disputes over a range of financial products. It found in consumers' favour in 55% of cases over the year.
Although PPI complaints are falling, other products have seen a rise in complaints including packaged bank accounts, credit broking, and interest rate hedging products.


Barry Hawkins said the tables at York's Barbican should be burned as he joined the list of players to criticise the conditions at the UK Championship.

Stephen Maguire has said the tables were "not good enough", while Ding Junhui was furious with the multiple table set-up after his first-round defeat against Adam Duffy.
World number eight Hawkins lost 6-3 to Robin Hull in the second round.
"The conditions were just unplayable," Hawkins told BBC Sport.
"It was a load of old rubbish performance-wise, but I had no confidence in the table. I think we should set fire to the lot of them to be honest."
World Snooker says atmospheric conditions will affect the way the tables play and that it is aware of players' concerns and is looking into ways to address the situation, including new cloth.
Maguire, ranked 15, said he had "no confidence" where the ball would go after bouncing off a cushion.
And London-born, Kent-based Hawkins was in total agreement with the Scot.
"I didn't want to use the cushion or roll balls along the cushion," he said.
"I was getting kicks every shot. It's so disappointing because they normally play nice here.
"We never used to have tables playing like this and they are getting worse, so I don't know what's happened."
The 2013 World Championship finalist added: "I am glad lots of other people have said the same as me so it doesn't look like sour grapes. I am just saying it like it is. I didn't enjoy that whatsoever.
"I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why they play so bad because they used to play lovely all the time.
"There must be a reason why they keep bouncing off the cushions like they are and the kicks are ridiculous."


Voters who opted to leave the European Union in Thursday's landmark referendum have been reflecting on their decision, in the wake of the momentous result.

With more than two million people signing a petition calling for a second referendum - and the hashtag #wearethe48 trending on Saturday - Leave voters give their reaction and share their thoughts after voting to take the UK out of the EU.
I voted to leave the EU but the result was, frankly, a surprise to me, as it was for many people.
I am very pro-Europe and the UK is still part of Europe but the EU today bears little or no resemblance to the one I voted for many years ago.
It has not matured and its ideology is flawed. The UK has had very little influence on the decisions taken in the EU and the laws and sovereignty of this country have been eroded and threatened.
I expect the British parliament to be accountable to the voting population to carry out their promises and policies and that is our democracy.
If the government do not do this, they can be voted out and replaced. We do not need the approval of the EU to govern our country.
Our government needs to appoint the best negotiators to carry out the exit process and stabilise the current uncertainty. Bickering about the result is pointless and undemocratic in the political arena.
The UK population needs to pull together now. The democratic process is over. We need to show others in Europe that huge reforms in the EU are necessary if it is to continue.
I voted for membership of the European Economic Community 40 years. I voted for what I thought was free trade between the UK and the six founder countries.
I did not vote for what the EU was becoming, which appeared to be a federal state run by Brussels bureaucrats who I believe do not serve the interests of any of the EU member states.
For this reason, I voted Leave on Thursday. Although I have felt some anxiety, I also feel hopeful.
I have no doubt we will see some turbulent economic times initially, but we have seen economic turbulence through the recession, and prior to that, with the high interest rates and inflation of the 1970s and 80s.
As an "out" voter, I am still European. I still believe in mutually beneficial trade deals, both with Europe, and the rest of the world, and I support controlled immigration.
Britain was, is, and will continue to be a great country. I am optimistic. We should see "brexit" as an opportunity.
I voted to leave the EU because I feel that the British public are regarded as insignificant.
We need to be able to make our own decisions that affect us including our laws and our spending, not least how much money goes to the EU.
The amount of money we send to the EU is atrocious.
The government called for a vote to stay in or leave the EU and the people of Britain voted out.
The outcome of the vote should be respected. Otherwise the voters of this country will only have a voice when the result is what the politicians want to hear.
It should be remembered that this is a democracy and everyone should respect the wishes of the majority.
I voted out, even taking into account the impact this may have on my job.
It was time we took control of our own destiny and the interests of the British public.
Too long we have been the puppet of Europe, having to pay an extortionate amount of money for the privilege.
All the money we spend on being a member of the EU could have been spent on other much more important matters such as doctors' wages, instead of supporting the countries that can't control their own economies such as Greece, Spain and Portugal.
There are many reasons why this period will be difficult, especially for my employers and customers. We have already seen impacts on exchange rates.
We don't know how it will effect our general trading terms. The remain campaigners who are calling for a re-vote should be ashamed.
The turnout was the highest for many years, even more than the last general election.
The British public came out in their millions to voice the opinion which has resulted in leaving the EU.
If we were to do a re-vote that would completely undermine any future public votes in this country.
So even after hearing all that may happen, I would not change the way I voted.
I voted out and am pleased to have done so. It was the result I wanted and we can now start taking control of our own finances.
All my friends also voted out. It makes no sense to be in. As a lawyer, I see nonsense legislation from Europe that we have no say in.
I don't have an issue with immigration but it needs to be kept under control, to help our NHS and benefits system.
We can't keep bailing out poorer countries. If there was a stricter test on them coming in then maybe I would have voted in.
I'm more than happy with my choice. We knew the pound would crash but give it a couple of months and it won't affect our economy that much.
It will grow, with more markets opening up which were previously restricted by the EU. The Germans will still sell us cars and the French will sell us wine. We can still travel there.
People are just scared of change. It looks like we have taken the brave move and others may follow.
I voted out and after reading the reactions of some in Europe and here at home, I am now convinced I voted the right way.
This was meant to be a democratic election, yet those who lost are seeking a second referendum and now we're being bullied into a quick exit from those in European positions of power.
That's hardly a democratic response..
Scotland now want a second independence referendum. Were they not conscious when they had the first one that a Brexit might be coming in the future?
If Scotland do want to become independent and stay within the EU, then I wish them the very best of luck.

A Tesco worker who emailed himself copies of customer details from the supermarket giant's database has been fined.

Thomas Wengierow, 47, admitted a charge under the Data Protection Act committed when he worked at the company's Baird Avenue centre in Dundee.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard he knowingly or recklessly obtained or disclosed personal data from a Tesco database.
Wengierow then copied the details into an email and sent it to himself.
Solicitor David Duncan, defending, said: "It is an unusual offence but nonetheless serious.
"It seems to have come at a time when he was losing his grip on his life.
"He was unfulfilled and unhappy in his employment and went on this strange adventure as a result.
"He is now unemployed and he's going to have to try and get back on track."
Sheriff Lorna Drummond QC fined Wengierow Â£230 and told him: "You can't use information in the way that you did."


A man has died after being hit by four cars as he walked on the M66 motorway near Bury.

He is believed to have been walking along the carriageway at about 02:00 BST when he was hit by a car travelling northbound.
He was then struck by three other cars travelling southbound, police said.
The motorway was closed in both directions for several hours between Ramsbottom and Bury junctions but has now fully reopened.
Emergency services have been at the scene overnight and investigation work is being carried out.
Police said the victim had been identified and his family had been informed.
A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and remains in police custody.
Officers are appealing for witnesses and anyone with dash cam footage to contact them.


A woman has said she was "experimented on" when she was 11 years old at a Derbyshire hospital.

Margaret, not her real name, said she was sent in 1971 to the now-defunct Aston Hall Hospital, in Aston-on-Trent, and "tied and drugged for treatment".
When it was raised in Parliament, the prime minister said it was "vital that the full facts are considered".
The Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Board (DSCB) said it was investigating the historical allegations of abuse.
Complaints had been made against the mental health hospital more than 20 years ago, but it is unclear whether any action was taken.
Now several patients, who were treated there as children more than 45 years ago, have come forward to say they were abused.
Margaret, who is now 57, said she received "treatment" from the doctor in charge, Dr Kenneth Milner, who died in the mid-1970s.
"He just looked at me and he said 'no tea tonight, treatment'," she said.
"The nurse got a bandage and tied my hands together. The nurse left, a mask was put over my face and a fluid was dripped and then I went unconscious.
"It was the most terrifying thing that any child could go through.
"Who could do that? What were they getting out of it? Why? What did I do so bad to deserve that?"
Margaret said she managed to secure a copy of her file from the hospital records which remain, but they did not appear to include any details of her treatment.
But there was a letter from a relative to hospital managers more than 20 years later that said it had had an impact on her life since.
Derby North MP Amanda Solloway raised the issue of the "alleged experiments" at Aston Hall during Prime Minister's Questions.
David Cameron said: "She (Amanda Solloway) is absolutely right to raise this matter; they are very serious allegations and it is vital that the full facts are considered".


Championship side Reading have sacked manager Brian McDermott after just over five months in charge.

Reports in the Netherlands say ex-Manchester United defender Jaap Stam, who recently left his role as a coach at Ajax, is a contender for the job.
McDermott, 55, returned to the Madejski Stadium in December for his second spell as boss of the Royals.
But he only won nine of his 30 games in charge and the Berkshire side finished 17th in the second tier.
A club statement said it had been a "difficult decision" for the board of directors to relieve McDermott of his duties.
Reading said they would now undertake a "rigorous recruitment process" in order to identify the former Arsenal midfielder's successor.
McDermott led the Royals to promotion to the Premier League in 2011-12, but he left the club in March 2013 after just over three years in charge.
Reading had also enjoyed considerable cup success under McDermott, reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals in 2010 and 2011.
He agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal on his return to the club in December and again led the Royals to the last eight of the FA Cup, where they were beaten by Crystal Palace.
Reading lost six of their final seven Championship games this season and finished the campaign 12 points above the relegation zone.


Sale Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond says European competition adds extra "stress" to an already intensive Premiership season.

Diamond's side finished bottom of their Champions Cup pool last term, losing five of their six games.
After an inconsistent season, Sale finished 10th in the Premiership, 20 points above the relegation place.
"Our form was good. We lost to Toulon and Saracens and beat Scarlets but it takes its toll," Diamond said.
Speaking to BBC Radio Manchester, he continued: "The problem is that in the domestic league, that's where your bread and butter is. In a competition that has relegation, one thing you can't afford to do as a franchise is get relegated.
"So all your intentions are good in all competitions but you've really got to put the hard graft in and make sure you stay in the league and we did that comfortably."
Despite Sale not finishing in the top four of the Premiership since their title-winning 2005-06 season, Diamond believes he can bring success to the north west.
"A lot of people's ambition is to finish in Europe. Mine isn't to do that, it's to manage to be in the top four [of the Premiership]," he added.
"With the investment that's gone in this year, we've got to see ourselves being a regular top-four side in the next three or four years.
"There's no doubt we can do that. We run a business that doesn't lose any money. The sides that traditionally finish below us lose around £8-9m. We don't lose anything."


Canada's largest province is raising the minimum wage to C$15 ($11.14, Â£8.66) an hour.

Ontario Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne made the announcement on Tuesday, as part of an overhaul of the province's labour laws.
The minimum wage would be raised in two steps, from C$11.40 to C$14 on 1 January 2018, and then to C$15 a year later.
Alberta also plants to raise its wage to C$15 in October 2018.
That would give Ontario the highest wage in the country for most of 2018.
Wynne billed the raise as "the largest increase in our province's history."
"People are anxious about their jobs, and they're anxious about the future," she said during a press conference on Tuesday. "In a time of change like this, when the very nature of work is being transformed, we need to make certain that our workers are treated fairly."
The minimum wage will be tied to inflation once it reaches C$15 in 2019.
The reforms also include changes to paid vacations, emergency leave and makes it easier for people to join a union.
Ms Wynne's government has been sliding in the polls and faces an election challenge in June 2018. In recent months, she has introduced a minimum income pilot project, free medication for people under 30 and expanded rent controls, both moves popular with large portions of the population.
But not everyone is in favour of the changes.
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce said it is concerned about the impact the wage hike will have on businesses and the economy.
"Many businesses will not be able to find a way to absorb these costs and many ... will have to go out of business," said Karl Baldauf, vice president of policy and government relations at the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.


Cameroon defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto has signed a one-year deal with French Ligue 1 side St Etienne.

The 31-year-old has been without a club since leaving English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, where he spent nine years.
He did not play at all for Tottenham in the 2014-15 season and spent the previous season on loan with Queens Park Rangers.
"Officially at St Etienne so happy - back in football," he wrote on Twitter.
Assou-Ekotto has not played for Cameroon since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil when he was involved in an argument with his team-mate Benjamin Moukandjo and even appeared to headbutt him.


Scottish journalist jobs are to be cut as newspapers cut costs and introduce technological change.

The Herald and Times titles in Glasgow are to shed 12 out of 160 newsroom jobs as their owner, Newsquest, invests in a new editorial system.
This is expected to see much of its sub-editing work carried out outside Scotland.
It is designed to let journalists file articles more easily through new publishing software.
Further changes are also being planned to the Scotsman stable of newspaper titles in Edinburgh.
The BBC has learned that plans have been drawn up for Evening News staff to be merged with the journalists who produce The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday. Those two national titles already have joint staffing.
The jobs being shed at the Herald and Times Group follow a Â£200,000 investment in new technology. While the papers will continue to look the same, editors will choose page designs from a library of options, rather than drawing up each page.
Reports and photographs will be processed more efficiently and quickly placed on the publishers' websites.
The sub-editing, or processing of some articles is already carried out in Wales, and US-owned Newsquest is to centralise more of its Glasgow journalism.
However, managing director Tim Blott emphasised that editorial decisions and budget control will be retained at the Glasgow office.
He said: "We are committed to giving our readers the best possible service of unique and compelling content, whether online or in print. Our coverage of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and the Scottish independence referendum was second to none".
The circulation of the Sunday Herald has risen since it became the only national title to campaign for Scottish independence.
Mr Blott said The Herald's circulation has also risen in the past few months, which he described as "almost unique in the British newspaper industry".
"Our digital subscriptions and online audiences for our news web sites and apps are at record levels," he said. "We believe strongly in the future of Scottish journalism."
Newsquest also owns s1, a Glasgow-based advertising website for homes, jobs and leisure, which is taking on 18 more staff.
The Scotsman group did not respond to a request for information about the future of the Evening News staff.
