A three-year-old boy has died after he was knocked down by a farm vehicle in Fife.

Stuart Nelson was killed in an accident at about 17:10 on Tuesday at Cuttle Hill Farm in Crossgates.
He died at the scene and police are investigating the circumstances.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police in Fife are investigating after a child was killed during a collision on a farm in Fife. A three-year-old boy sustained fatal injuries."
Liz Beattie, Crossgates and Mossgreen Community Council vice-chairman, told the BBC Scotland news website she knew Stuart's grandparents.
She said: "The family are highly thought of and respected within the community.
"Obviously our thoughts are very much with them at this time."
Alistair Bain, councillor for Cowdenbeath - which includes Crossgates - described Stuart's death as tragic.
He said: "This was a farm accident, they do happen and its tragic. I know Richard helps out in the village when he can.
"I'm sure everyone is devastated and all our thoughts are with little Stuart's parents, Richard and Linzi at this time."
Rev Gavin Boswell, minister of Crossgates Church, said: "This is a tragedy that has left members of the close knit community shocked and stunned.
"It is truly heartbreaking to lose a child under any circumstances.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this extremely difficult time".


Nico Rosberg headed Lewis Hamilton as first practice at the Chinese Grand Prix was disrupted by three failures on two separate cars.

Williams driver Felipe Massa suffered two left-rear wheel failures and Renault's Kevin Magnussen a suspected broken left rear suspension.
The session was stopped for 30 minutes as officials launched an investigation and cleared the track of debris.
Williams had a wheel problem. Renault's turned out to be a suspension failure.
Williams driver Valtteri Bottas said the team had found a problem with the "rim clearance" - the distance between the wheel and the wheel assembly - and that he had had the same problem as Massa but had been "more lucky".
"If there is something under the rim too close, that can cause problems," the Finn said.
Both Massa's failures happened on his first lap out of the pits on the entry to the Turn Six hairpin.
On the first, Massa was pitched into a spin. On the second, he did not lose control, but the tyre appeared to simply pop off the rim.
There were no clear television pictures of the failure on Magnussen's car.
Williams did not send either of its cars out again when the session was re-started with eight minutes remaining. Magnussen, who had broken rear suspension, was also consigned to the pits.
In a busy final few minutes of running, Rosberg supplanted early pace-setter Hamilton at the top of the times with a lap of one minute 38.037 seconds.
The world champion was 0.146secs behind in the second Mercedes.
Rosberg returned to the pits at the end of the session in "limp-home mode", his engineer telling him over the radio that he thought there was "an engine issue".
Mercedes later diagnosed it as an ignition problem and said they hoped it would be solved for second practice.
Hamilton already knows that he has a five-place grid drop from wherever he qualifies because of a gearbox change after the team discovered a potential problem and decided not to risk a retirement.
Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was third quickest, 0.628secs off the pace and 0.396secs quicker than Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo in fourth.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was fifth, ahead of Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat, Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz and the McLaren of Jenson Button.
Fernando Alonso returned to the McLaren after being forced to miss the last race in Bahrain because of a broken rib sustained in his high-speed crash at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
The Spaniard faces further medical checks after the first session to establish whether he will be allowed to continue for the rest of the weekend but he made no public reports of any physical discomfort.
Alonso was 12th fastest, 0.564secs slower than Button.

A man suffered a facial injury and others were left with minor injuries after two men drove around firing a paintball gun at members of the public.

Officers were alerted to 16 incidents across Glasgow, West Dunbartonshire and Central Scotland, between 13:30 and 16:00 on Friday,
One incident is being treated as a serious assault.
A black Audi A4, which police said may be the car involved, was later found on fire in Croftamie, Stirlingshire.
The suspects were both described as being white and between 20 and 30 years old. One of them had a shaved head.
The first incident took place in Greendyke Street in Glasgow City Centre, with others reported in Knightswood, Bearsden, Milngavie, Clydebank and the Stirlingshire area.
Det Insp Mark McLennan said: "The behaviour of these two men was absolutely shocking and they showed complete and utter disregard for the safety of the innocent people they targeted, some of whom sustained painful injuries.
"Police Scotland will not tolerate this type of reckless conduct and extensive inquiries are under way to trace the callous individuals responsible.
"Officers are currently examining CCTV footage, conducting door-to-door inquiries and there will also be a forensic examination of the car that was recovered."
He appealed to anyone with information about the attacks to contact the police.


Burnley have signed midfielder Renny Smith on a three-year contract following his release by Arsenal.

The 18-year-old Austrian youth international had been on trial with the Clarets and will initially join up with the development squad.
Smith, who can also play in defence, joined Arsenal after leaving Chelsea two seasons ago.
"Hopefully in future years I can add something to the squad," he told the club website.

Southend United manager Phil Brown has been charged by the Football Association for misconduct during and after Sunday's 3-2 loss to Bury.

It is alleged that from the 93rd minute through to 30 minutes after the game, Brown's language and/or behaviour was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper on five separate occasions.
The Shrimpers lost the game following Ryan Lowe's 94th-minute penalty.
Brown has until 18:00 BST on 16 May to respond to the charge.
The former Hull and Preston boss said after the match that assistant referee Barry Gordon should be "struck off" for his role in awarding the late spot-kick for a handball by Sam McQueen.


Foreign investors may have to pay large fees before buying Australian residential real estate or businesses, the government has announced.

PM Tony Abbott said the government was proposing a range of civil penalties and fees linked to foreign investment.
Property prices are a hot button issue in Australia, especially in Sydney, and there are claims foreign investment is artificially boosting house prices.
But Mr Abbott conceded there was not enough data on this issue.
He also ruled out reviewing Australia's negative gearing rules, which some property analysts say also fuel property prices.
Negative gearing is when an investment generates a negative cashflow and allows the investor to claim tax deductions.
The proposals follow announcements earlier this year by the government that it was tightening the rules for foreign investment in agricultural land.
Under the new proposals, a foreign investor who wants to buy Australian property worth up to A$1m ($785,000, Â£508,000) would have to pay a A$5,000 application fee to the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).
Investments over A$1m will incur a A$10,000 fee for every extra million dollars in the purchase price.
An application to buy a business worth A$1bn or more would incur a A$100,000 fee.
Foreign investors found to be in breach of the rules would be fined up to 25% of the value of the investment and could be forced to sell the property.
A register will be established to record how many foreign residential and agricultural property owners are in Australia and who they are.
The government said Australia's foreign investment policy for residential real estate had been designed to increase Australia's housing stock but a lack of compliance and enforcement of the rules in recent years had threatened the integrity of the policy.
"We do want Australians to be operating on a level playing field," Mr Abbott said of the property market.
"This government is determined to ensure that the aspirational people of our country get the fairest possible go," he said.
Fears about foreign investment in property, particularly Chinese investment, have prompted the Australian government's proposed changes to its foreign investment regime.
There are perceptions in the community that young Australians are being priced out of the market by offshore speculative investors.
This is probably the biggest foreign investment debate in Australia apart from Chinese investment in farm land. But many "foreign buyers" are actually Australians of Chinese or Indian descent.
The government says the new rules will "even up the playing field" but that avoids the fact that most young home buyers are being outbid by cashed-up Australian baby boomers.
Short-term speculation may cool but big investors can afford the fees. Smaller players looking for long-term investment for their children or residency and citizenship will see it as a price worth paying to improve the outlook for future generations.
"The only foreigners that will be in the system will be those playing by the rules."
Applications by foreign investors to buy Australian property or businesses are currently free.
The fees outlined by the government are much higher than those recommended in a report by a parliamentary economics committee.
Submissions on the proposals are being accepted by the Treasury until 20 March, and the government will make a final decision some time after that.
From 1 March, the FIRB screening threshold for purchases will be reduced from the current level of A$252m to A$15m, with a foreign ownership register of agricultural land also due to be established.


Dyfed-Powys Police and North Wales Police require improvement in some of the ways they work, according to reports by watchdogs.

They inspected how well forces treat the public, ensure staff work ethically and lawfully, and how they look after their workforce.
North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Arfon Jones branded the force's report "inaccurate".
Dyfed-Powys Police said it would "continue to improve".
Gwent and South Wales Police have been judged as good in annual "legitimacy" assessments by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC).
In its study of forces in England and Wales, the HMIC said the abuse of authority for sexual gain was now the "most serious" form of corruption facing police.
North Wales Police's zero-tolerance approach to sexually-motivated misconduct was highlighted in the report, saying it took "action where it suspects the abuse of authority for sexual gain is taking place".
HMIC found North Wales Police:
Defending the force, Mr Jones said: "I don't believe the 'requires improvement' judgement reflects the tremendous work carried out across north Wales on a daily basis to keep our communities safe."
He was also critical of the number of HMIC inspections, adding: "The force is having to make a significant amount of investment of both time and resources just to respond to the inspection regime."
Regarding Dyfed-Powys Police, HM Inspector of Constabulary Wendy Williams said she was "disappointed by the lack of progress" on the previous year.
She also said that it needed to "gain a better understanding of the extent to which officers may be abusing their authority for sexual gain".
Temporary Deputy Chief Constable Liane James said Dyfed-Powys Police had been working "tirelessly" to ensure its code of ethics was implemented across the board.
"As we get ready to welcome a new chief constable to the force, I am pleased to see all the hard work of our staff over the past year is paying off and we will continue to improve and ensure we safeguard the communities of Dyfed and Powys together," she said.
HMIC found that Dyfed-Powys Police:


The Old Bailey's first non-white circuit judge has said she was often mistaken for a witness or defendant when she started working as a lawyer.

Anuja Ravindra Dhir began her career in the 1980s. She became a circuit judge at the Old Bailey in February.
The 49-year-old said at first, most clients did not want to be represented by a young Asian Scottish female.
She also said that, when she wanted to go to university in the 1970s, she was told to be a hairdresser instead.
As well as being the first non-white circuit judge at the Old Bailey, Judge Dhir is the youngest.
She said: "My daughter, it would never cross her mind being treated differently because she's a female or because she's not white, whereas in my generation we did.
"We were surprised when people didn't treat us differently. Not now, but when I came to the bar, I was not expecting to be treated like a white Oxbridge male at all."
At school in Dundee, Judge Dhir said she was steered towards a different career.
"I wasn't the cleverest person in my year at school," she said.
"I'm dyslexic so I find it difficult to read and write. And when I went to school in the 1970s in Scotland, women were not encouraged to aim high.
"When I first said to a teacher at school I wanted to go to university when I was older, she told me that I should aim a little lower and suggested I try hairdressing instead."
Judge Dhir said when she was called to the bar in 1989, most barristers were male, white, from a public school, and with "some connection" to the profession.
"Now that's four differences already before we start," she said.
"Added to that, most clients did not want a young Asian Scottish female representing them so that made it harder for me to build a client base."
Judge Dhir said she once had to produce her wig and gown before security allowed her into court.
"I got used to turning up at courts and people saying to me 'Witness? - no - Defendant? - no' and looking rather surprised when I said I was the advocate," she said.
"I'm often asked if there is a glass ceiling. I think sometimes there are two ceilings - or no glass ceiling at all.
"There is one glass ceiling that's in our minds, that's what we think we can achieve so perhaps we impose our glass ceiling and that has happened to me several times."
The Old Bailey houses 15 judges - 10 men and five women. Three out of six of the most recent intake of judges are women.


A restaurant owner accused of killing a customer who died from an allergic reaction to a curry "put profit before safety", a court has heard.

Paul Wilson, 38, suffered a severe anaphylactic shock in January 2014 after eating a takeaway from the Indian Garden in Easingwold, North Yorkshire.
Mohammed Zaman, 52, of Aylesham Court, Huntington, denies manslaughter.
The restaurant boss "cut corners at every turn", Teesside Crown Court heard.
When Mr Wilson ordered a takeaway meal from the restaurant, he had made it clear it must be nut-free, the jury heard.
The court was told "no nuts" was written on the order chit and on the lid of the curry he took to his home in Helperby, near Thirsk.
He was found dead later the same evening.
The jury heard Mr Zaman took a "reckless and cavalier attitude to risk" at the restaurants he owned.
Richard Wright QC, prosecuting, told the court Mr Zaman had swapped from using almond powder to the cheaper groundnut powder, containing peanuts, in June 2013.
Despite a warning from his supplier, the prosecutor said, the restaurateur did not warn customers he was using peanut ingredients.
A week before Mr Wilson's death, Mr Wright said, a trading standards officer found evidence of peanuts in another meal which was said to have been peanut-free, and discovered a box labelled blanched ground peanut in the kitchen of Mr Zaman's Jaipur Spice restaurant in Easingwold.
The officer told staff all customers must be informed chefs were using peanuts, the court heard.
"Mohammed Zaman received numerous warnings that he was putting his customers' health, and potentially their lives, at risk," Mr Wright said.
"Tragically for Paul Wilson, Mohammed Zaman took none of those opportunities and ignored all of the warnings he was given."
The prosecution said the restaurateur knew the food he served "posed a serious health risk".
Mr Wright said: "Time and again he ignored the danger and did not protect his customers."
Mr Zaman has also pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice by forging a food safety training certificate, an immigration offence relating to the employee who served the contaminated meal, and food safety offences.


A killer who bludgeoned a homeless man to death in Bath has been jailed.

Darrell Richards, 47, used a metal bar to batter Thomas Downey, 51, who was known locally as "Manchester Tommy" because of where he came from.
His body was found on Christmas Eve under a railway arch in Lower Bristol Road, where it had lain undiscovered for a week, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Richards, who was also homeless, was sentenced to 10 years and nine months after admitting manslaughter.
Speaking after sentencing, Det Ch Insp Julie Mackay said: "Thomas Downey died as the result of a callous and brutal assault.
"He'd been bludgeoned to death, the blows causing multiple fractures to his skull."
She said: "The attack by Darrell Richards, a fellow member of the homeless community, was vicious and appears to have resulted from what was effectively a very minor disagreement."
The detective said police accepted the manslaughter plea because they believe "it reflects what took place in that archway on that evening".
Det Ch Insp Mackay added: "We hope today's sentencing will bring some closure for Tommy's family."


A bored 89-year-old who put an ad in a paper saying he wanted a job has been offered work at a bar and restaurant.

Ex-serviceman Joe Bartley from Devon made headlines around the world with the plea in the Herald Express, saying he was dying of boredom and wanted a job.
Kate Allen from the Cantina Kitchen and Bar in Paignton said: "Not many people are that pro-active, let alone an 89-year-old, so I could not let him go.
"I liked him straight away when I spoke to him on the phone."
For updates on Joe Bartley and more stories
She said Mr Bartley, who is due to start work on Sunday, would be clearing tables and helping with other tasks.
"We're really happy to have him," she said.
Mr Bartley said he had been very lonely since his wife Cassie died two years ago and described living on his own as "solitary confinement".
"The first thing I did when I heard about the job was pour myself a stiff drink," he said.
"It's been a whirlwind in the past couple of days."
Mr Bartley, who served in the 6th Airborne Division after World War Two and later in the Royal Engineers, said he missed his active life.
"Most importantly the job will mean I'm out and about meeting people," he said.


Shares in Desire Petroleum have again fallen sharply after another disappointment over the firm's oil exploration off the Falkland Islands.

Desire has announced that despite drilling to a depth of 1,300m at its Jacinta well in the North Falkland basin, there were no hydrocarbons.
The company's shares fell 29% on the news, despite Desire saying that it would now drill to 1,670m.
On 6 December, Desire's shares tumbled 50% after another well was capped.
Desire's shares, which reached 170p in October, closed down 29.4% at 42.5p.
When exploration off the Falklands began earlier this year, the share prices of several companies rose in expectation of an oil and gas boom.
But analysts say drilling results have so far proved disappointing.
And in November there were reports that ExxonMobil, the world's largest oil company not owned by a government, had decided that the islands contained insufficient hydrocarbons to make exploration profitable.


Wigan Warriors have signed utility back Sam Hopkins from Leigh Centurions.

The 23-year-old has agreed a two-year deal, with the option of a third year, and will link up with the Super League club for pre-season in November.
"We have been keeping an eye on Sam for a while and have been impressed with what we have seen," said Warriors head coach Shaun Wane.
"It is a big step for him to make the move from the Championship but he is  very determined and driven."
Wane added: "I am confident under the guidance of our quality backroom staff he has both the ability and passion to become a success as a full-time professional."
Hopkins joined the Centurions from amateur club Leigh East and has been a regular for the Championship side since 2011.
"The Warriors are the biggest club in Super League and when I learned of their interest in me and the chance to progress my career with them, it was an easy decision to make," he said.
"I am looking forward to the remainder of the season with the Centurions and can assure everyone of my commitment to try and achieve success with them for the remainder of the current season."


Floyd Mayweather says footage of Conor McGregor sparring Paulie Malignaggi has shown the UFC lightweight champion to be "extremely dirty" in the ring.

Malignaggi left McGregor's camp when images of him down on the canvas were made public after the session.
"A lot of shots were illegal," said Mayweather. "Lots of grappling and illegal punching behind the head."
On Thursday, Malignaggi told BBC Sport he questioned if McGregor could "keep it clean" against Mayweather.
"His intensity is a good thing, I just don't know if he can go without fouling," Malignaggi told 5 live's boxing podcast. "Fighting up close, I think he gets a bit confused and he ends up fouling. I think that's where he can be most intense but fighting up close is the hardest thing in boxing to learn and I don't think you can do that in a few months."
McGregor, 29, has employed retired Hall of Fame referee Joe Cortez in order to adapt to boxing rules for his debut in the sport against undefeated Mayweather, who will come out of retirement for the 26 August bout in Las Vegas.
Mayweather, speaking to a teleconference of journalists around the world, said: "He had Joe Cortez in his camp but I still saw him being extremely dirty. My job is not to worry about the referee but to let the referee do his job."
Robert Byrd, himself a Hall of Fame referee, has been chosen to officiate the T-Mobile Arena bout.
Mayweather, 40, will surpass Rocky Marciano's perfect record of 49 fights without defeat should he avoid loss against McGregor. The Las Vegas-based fighter retired in 2015 but is adamant this will now be his final contest, stating he has "given my word" to his family and advisor Al Haymon.
He is a heavy favourite with bookmakers to score a 50th win almost 21 years since his professional debut. On Wednesday, McGregor said he expected to win inside two rounds.
Speaking to BBC Sport during Thursday's teleconference, Mayweather added: "I truly believe I am taking a bigger risk but it's a big reward for both of us. I have the 49-0 record. When a fighter has been dominant for 20 odd years, everything is on the line.
"I just try to focus on being positive. I try not to think about taking a loss. Every day I tell myself I'm a winner. I was born to be a winner in life. Whatever I do I try to give 100% and go to the limit.
"It's all about taking a risk and I wouldn't be where I'm at. I don't mind putting the 49 and 0 on the line, I think it's worth it."
BBC Radio 5 live boxing analyst Steve Bunce:
It's going to be a relentless week. Too many people are treating it like a comedy carnival. On the night I think it will be a lot more serious than people think. I think the laughter will stop in Las Vegas, probably around Wednesday.
McGregor is a guy who was nowhere four years ago. Now he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars. He got there because he is absolutely driven. I've seen his fights, I think he likes hurting people. So there will be dark undertones next week. Anyone who thinks Mayweather doesn't have a nasty, dark side has been living in a cave for 30 years.
I believe McGregor has picked up a lot from Mayweather. If you are skint like he was five or six years ago and you are seeing a guy like Mayweather who has been making it rain throwing dollar bills in the air, of course he is copying that. He has wanted a bit of that. I can imagine McGregor before he goes to bed at night doing a few Mayweather moves in the mirror.
The Making of McGregor will be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 live on Friday, 18 August at 21:00 BST.


Non Stanford beat Jodie Stimpson in a British one-two finish in the World Triathlon Series event in Cape Town.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Stanford, 27, the 2013 world champion, won in 59 minutes 49 seconds, seven seconds in front of Stimpson with Bermuda's Flora Duffy coming third.
Jonathan Brownlee, who needed medical help after coming third in the previous event in Australia earlier this month, came second in the men's race.
Spain's Fernando Alarza won in 54:12, five seconds ahead of Briton Brownlee.
Both events consisted of a 750m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run, with Britain's Vicky Holland finishing sixth in the women's competition.
Duffy is now the overall points leader with Stimpson second. Helen Jenkins, who did not race in Cape Town, was third and Stanford eighth.
Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee was absent because of illness and his brother Jonathan revealed he had contemplated withdrawing from the race as well.
He missed the medal ceremony after stage two on Australia's Gold Coast because he was receiving medical treatment for heat stroke, but was able to compete again in South Africa.
"For the last two weeks I've felt terrible," Jonathan Brownlee told BBC Sport. "Since the Gold Coast I was not sure I would start.
"It's not a victory but from where I was two weeks ago it's a big improvement. I knew I wouldn't be able to run a fast 5km."
Brownlee's silver medal takes him up to third in the rankings, behind Spanish duo Mario Mola and Alarza, who is now second overall. Fellow Briton Adam Bowden finished 16th.
This was the third of nine World Series events and the next one will be held in Yokohama, Japan on 14 and 15 May.


A 14-year-old boy has died after the motorbike he was driving was in a collision with a car in Edinburgh.

The teenager died at the Sick Kids hospital following the accident which happened on Silverknowes Road at about 16:00 on Friday.
Another 14-year-old, who was a passenger on the bike, is being treated in hospital for serious injuries.
Police appealed for witnesses to the crash which involved a white Vertigo motorcycle and a black Toyota Aygo.
The accident happened near the junction with Silverknowes Court. Both vehicles were travelling north.
Police Scotland are particularly keen to trace the driver of a white Mercedes limousine-style car which was travelling north on Silverknowes Road at the time, as they believe the driver may have information.
Sgt Brian Smith said: "This collision has resulted in death of a teenage boy and our condolences are with his family at this sad time.
"Our inquiries continue in order to establish the full circumstance surrounding this, and anyone who may have witnessed the collision is urged to get in touch."
The road was reopened at about 21:45.


The winner of Nigeria's presidential poll, Muhammadu Buhari, has hailed his victory as a vote for change and proof the nation has embraced democracy.

Mr Buhari also praised outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan as a "worthy opponent" who peacefully relinquished power.
Gen Buhari beat Mr Jonathan by 15.4 million votes to 13.3 million.
Observers have generally praised the election, though there have been allegations of fraud.
Election results as they happened
Mr Buhari, of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party, has become the first opposition candidate to win a presidential election in Nigeria.
The former military ruler said: "President Jonathan was a worthy opponent and I extend the hand of fellowship to him.
"We have proven to the world that we are people who have embraced democracy. We have put the one-party state behind us."
Analysis: BBC's Will Ross in Lagos
This is a hugely significant moment in Nigeria's turbulent history. Never before has a sitting president been defeated in an election.
Since independence from Britain in 1960, there have been numerous coups and although the 2011 vote was an improvement, most elections have been rigged or even annulled by the military.
Of course in a relatively close election, there will be millions of people who are not pleased with the outcome. But the whole process is a sign that democracy is deepening in Nigeria and may be a tonic to other countries in Africa.
Nigerians can start to believe that it is possible to remove politicians through the ballot box.
Historic moment for Nigeria
He added: "Your vote affirms that you believe Nigeria's future can be better than what it is today. You voted for change and now change has come.
"You, Nigerians, have won. The people have shown their love for this nation and their belief in democracy."
On Tuesday, Mr Jonathan said in a statement: "I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word."
Five reasons why Goodluck Jonathan lost

He added: "Nobody's ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else."
He said he had conveyed his "best wishes" to Mr Buhari, and urged "those who may feel aggrieved to follow due process... in seeking redress".
However, analysts say the margin of victory is likely to prevent any successful legal challenge.
Mr Jonathan must officially hand over power on 29 May.
This election was the fourth time that Gen Buhari, 72, had sought the presidency.
He ruled Nigeria from January 1984 until August 1985, taking charge after a military coup in December 1983.
Mr Jonathan had led Nigeria since 2010, initially as acting leader before winning elections in 2011.
Nigeria has suffered from attacks by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has killed thousands of people in its drive to establish an Islamic state.
Many voters have said that they believe Gen Buhari is better positioned to defeat Boko Haram.
The former military ruler dominated the country's northern states, winning 94% of the vote in one of the worst affected, Borno.


A public inquiry into historical sex abuse is to be announced this week, BBC Scotland has learned.

The move, to be confirmed by Scottish government ministers, is supported by opposition parties.
The announcement is expected to confirm a timetable, although the precise terms of reference have yet to be drawn up.
The move follows a number of scandals involving the abuse of children in care, including at institutions run by the Roman Catholic church.
BBC Scotland's home affairs correspondent Reevel Alderson said: "It is no secret that the Scottish government favours holding an inquiry into allegations of sexual abuse involving children.
"There's support from opposition parties too. It follows the scandal surrounding schools run by the Roman Catholic Church and other care institutions.
"But so far ministers haven't committed themselves to a timetable."
Later this week they will announce their intention to hold an inquiry, although it will only take place after the terms of reference can be worked out.
This will include setting out the types of abuse which can be investigated, as well as the remedies Holyrood could put in place for those who have survived childhood sexual abuse.
Alan Draper, an academic who compiled a report for the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland on how to deal with historical child abuse, said he anticipated that this could be a "momentous week".
He said: "Clearly we have been fighting for decades and what we require is a full public inquiry preferably led by a judge with statutory powers, that's absolutely essential."
Mr Draper said he hoped the inquiry would bring a "cascade of change" and begin to reform the law so that abuse survivors would not be prevented from seeking justice.
He said he hoped the time bar that stopped historical cases coming to court would be set aside.
Mr Draper added: "Also I hope they'll talk about a redress scheme for survivors so we can begin to repair the damage that's been caused to so many."
The campaigner said he hoped the inquiry would "engage fully with survivors" about the remit and membership "to avoid the chaos that's been caused down south".
Frank Docherty, the founder and honorary chairman of Incas (In-care Abuse Survivors), said: "We've waited 15 years and what we want is a full public inquiry into all the abuse, in all the institutions in Scotland."
Incas vice chairman Frank McCue, himself an abuse survivor, said: "The length of time these people have been waiting is ridiculous, a blind man could see that this needs a public inquiry and they keep putting out reports and excuses and it's just not good enough."
He added: "My main thing is to get justice for all these kids, name and shame every institution, every organisation that ran them and I don't care who they are - religious or otherwise."
Abuse survivor Jim Buckley told BBC Scotland: "I lived with it for nine years when I was in a home in Aberdeen, the abuse we suffered, there's never been any recognition of the fact.
"We've got to live with that day in and day out. You try and get on with your life but it's very hard."


The only Turkish national to die in the London 7/7 bombings had come to the city to improve her English.

Gamze Gunoral, 24, left her aunt's house in Totteridge, north London, on the morning of 7 July 2005 .
She died on the way to her language college in Hammersmith, west London, when a bomb was detonated on a Piccadilly Line Tube train near Russell Square.
Born in Istanbul and an only child, Miss Gunoral was brought up by just her mother from the age of five after her parents divorced.
She had an artistic streak, with paintings exhibited from a young age and played volleyball for a local club.
Music was another interest and she learned to play the mandolin, recorder and keyboard.
Her hard work at school paid off when she was accepted at the University of Marmara, in Istanbul, to study finance.
After graduating in 2003 as an actuary, she went on to join Gisad, Turkey's largest textile export company.
At the inquest into her death, her uncle Tawfiq Ghayas said in a statement that Gamze rose to all the challenges of her job and wanted to make her mother proud.
While with the company, Miss Gunoral decided to take a year's break to go to London to improve her English.
At the time of her death, she had been a full-time English student in the UK for just two months.
Osman Hokelek, an administrator at the Active Learning School, described her as a lovely girl who had just started to settle in and make some close friends.
She also took up a part-time job in a London fashion store to practise her spoken English.
Her other interests included watching films, Formula 1 racing, vintage cars and baking cookies.
Her mother took her body back to her homeland, where she was buried in a ceremony in Istanbul.


Doctors in Wales are prescribing an increasing number of antidepressants as patients face waiting up to 10 months for some forms of therapy.

Over 3.8m antidepressant prescriptions were dispensed in Wales in 2011, the highest rate per head of any UK nation.
Mental health charities said more people should be offered counselling, but a doctor's spokesman said lengthy waiting times gave them little choice.
Ministers say mental health provision would be boosted by Â£3.5m.
The number of antidepressant prescriptions per head in Wales rose last year by nearly 8% - a similar increase to that seen in England and Scotland.
Wales has the highest rate of antidepressant prescriptions of any UK nation at 1.24 per head, compared to 1.18 in Northern Ireland, 0.89 in Scotland and 0.88 in England.
The figures were obtained by BBC Wales in a Freedom of Information request to the Welsh government.
Drugs such as Citalopram, Fluoxetine (often known as Prozac) and Lofeprine, amongst others, cost the Welsh NHS over Â£16 million in 2011.
Advice from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends the use of talking therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to treat mild to moderate depression and anxiety disorders.
Their guidelines state that antidepressants should "not routinely be offered" for people with persistent mild or moderate depression or anxiety and that talking therapies should be considered instead.
David Bailey, chair of the British Medical Association's general practitioners committee in Wales, said doctors tried where possible to avoid prescribing drugs for depression but sometimes had little choice.
"Within a 10 minute consultation there's only so much talking therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy you can actually do," he said.
"So what we would like is to have relatively quick access to a professional who can do that much more focussed treatment for a patient.
"At the moment there's a huge issue with the time before which people can get these sorts of therapies."
The Welsh mental health charity Gofal said patients found family doctors lacking time and resources to prescribe appropriate treatment.
"In our experience GPs can often only offer a five to 10 minute chat followed by a prescription for antidepressants," said a spokesperson.
"In some areas, alternative therapies such as CBT and counselling can be and are being prescribed, but patients are still faced with very lengthy waiting times, during which their mental health often deteriorates to a state of crisis."
The Welsh government said there were clear guidelines on the prescribing of antidepressants, and that it was boosting the provision of counselling services.
"We are investing Â£3.5 million from October 2012 to develop primary care mental health services across Wales," said a spokesperson.
"One aspect of this provision will be to increase evidence-based interventions such as psychological therapies to people with mild to moderate mental health problems."
The Welsh government added that it had commissioned a review of access to psychological therapy services which would report back in the winter.
Information obtained by BBC Wales under the Freedom of Information Act show a mixed pattern in referrals for therapy, which had dropped in some regions.
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said referrals had increased in 2011, while the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg, Cwm Taf and Aneurin Bevan boards said they had fallen.
Hywel Dda Health Board in mid and west Wales said the waiting time for cognitive behavioural psychotherapy was currently around 10 months, while other forms of therapy had shorter waiting times.

Soldiers in Nigeria have opened fire on their commander in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri, witnesses say.

Maj-Gen Ahmed Mohammed escaped unhurt after soldiers shot at his car at the Maimalari barracks, the sources said.
The soldiers blamed him for the killing of their colleagues in an ambush by suspected Boko Haram militants.
Meanwhile, Nigeria's president has ruled out freeing Boko Haram prisoners in exchange for the release of more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls.
By Mark  DoyleBBC News, Abuja
The Nigerian government has said it is ready to open talks with Boko Haram, but it is now becoming clear there are red lines the government will not cross.
The prisoner swap is the principal demand made by the leader of the Islamists, Abubacar Shekau, so it is not clear what any talks would be about.
Visiting British minister Mark Simmonds drew another red line. He said that once the crisis was over, it was important there was no impunity for those who had committed this criminal act.
In other words, Abubacar Shekau and other Boko Haram members involved in the kidnapping should be arrested. These red lines will make holding any sort of talks between the Nigerian government and Boko Haram very difficult, to say the least.
A government minister had earlier said authorities were ready to negotiate with Boko Haram, but President Goodluck Jonathan insisted on Wednesday that this was out of the question.
"He made it very clear that there will be no negotiation with Boko Haram that involves a swap of abducted  schoolgirls for prisoners," said British Africa Minister Mark Simmonds after meeting Mr Jonathan in the capital, Abuja, to discuss an international recue mission for the girls.
Their kidnapping in Borno state on 14 April has caused international outrage, and foreign teams of experts are in the country to assist the security forces in tracking them down.
Army spokesman Maj-Gen Chris Olukolade described the incident in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, as an internal matter and said there was no need for public concern.
But the shooting shows that morale within the army is low as it battles Boko Haram, says BBC Nigeria analyst Naziru Mikailu.
Analysis: Why Nigeria has not defeated Boko Haram
The Islamist group has stepped up its insurgency, despite a year of emergency rule in Borno and its neighbouring state of Adamawa and Yobe.
President Jonathan has asked parliament to extend the emergency for another six months.
According to sources who were inside the Maimalari barracks, the soldiers accused Maj-Gen Mohammed of putting their lives and the lives of their families at risk by failing to ensure that they were well-equipped to tackle Boko Haram.
They also alleged that the military top brass had failed to give them a promised special allowance for fighting on the front line, they told the BBC Hausa service.
Colleagues of the protesting soldiers were killed in an ambush while driving back on Tuesday from Chibok town, from where Boko Haram abducted the schoolgirls a month ago.
UK Prime Minster David Cameron has offered to send a spy plane to Nigeria to help in the hunt.
Meanwhile, residents of three villages in Borno repelled an attack by suspected Boko Haram fighters on Tuesday, an eyewitness told the BBC.
About 200 militants were killed during the fighting in the Kala-Balge district of Borno state, he said.
The witness, who asked not to be named because of security concerns, said the residents had formed a vigilante group.
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is forbidden" in the local Hausa language, is notorious for raiding towns and villages, burning homes, looting banks and police stations, and killing people.


A couple who care for their severely disabled grandchild have described the so-called bedroom tax as "unfair" after winning an appeal.

Susan and Paul Rutherford argued a spare room in their Pembrokeshire home was essential as it was used by carers who look after Warren, 15, overnight.
The Court of Appeal has now ruled the spare room subsidy - which reduces housing benefit for social housing tenants - is "unlawful".
The couple said they were "delighted".
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said it had already been granted permission to appeal the judgment at the Supreme Court.
Mr Rutherford, of Clunderwen, told the BBC: "It was just so unfair, somebody had to do something to get the law changed, or the situation changed."
He added: "We're all saving the government millions of pounds between us and we need looking after and helping, rather than penalising. us."
Mr and Mrs Rutherford's appeal focused on the impact of the policy on disabled children needing overnight care.
The couple continued their fight, despite a short-fall in payments being covered by Pembrokeshire council.
Mr Rutherford added: "It was just the fear that, what happens if this money stops?"
Warren suffers from a rare genetic disorder which means he is unable to walk or talk, cannot feed himself and needs 24-hour care.
His family's spare room is used by carers, who sometimes stay overnight, and to store the medical equipment he needs.
Warren's grandparents, who provide around-the-clock to care, say they live in constant fear he might lose his home and have to go into care.
Disabled adults who need a spare room for carers are exempt from the benefit restriction, but the same does not apply to children.
The family's lawyers have argued those with severely disabled children should be entitled to the same exemption as disabled adults.
A second appeal concerned a woman, identified only as "A", in relation to the effect of the policy on women living in properties adapted because of risks to their lives.
Her home was equipped with a panic room.
In both, the appellants claimed the policy unlawfully discriminated against them
Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas, Lord Justice Tomlinson and Lord Justice Vos, allowed both appeals, on the grounds that the "admitted discrimination" in each case "has not been justified by the Secretary of State".
The housing benefit changes - dubbed the "bedroom tax" by Labour - were introduced in April 2013. Since then families claiming housing benefits have been assessed for the number of bedrooms they actually need.
Families deemed by their local authorities to have too much living space have received reduced payments.
The government rejects the term "bedroom tax", saying the regulations remove what is in fact a "spare room subsidy".
The DWP said it "fundamentally disagrees" with the Court of Appeal ruling, which it said "directly contradicts" a previous High Court ruling it its favour.
A spokesperson said: "We know there will be people who need extra support.
"That is why we are giving local authorities over Â£870m in extra funding over the next five years to help ensure people in difficult situations like these don't lose out."


Misfit is the latest activity-tracking specialist to embrace an analogue look.

The brand has unveiled a traditional-looking watch that counts its wearer's steps, provides notification alerts and acts as a remote control for Bluetooth-connected smartphones.
Phase's launch follows the $260m (Â£212m) takeover of Misfit by the US watchmaker Fossil last year.
Companies that offer rival hybrid-timepieces include Garmin, Nokia's Withings unit, Mondaine and Alpina.
However, the bestselling wearable technology manufacturer, Fitbit, has opted instead to sell a touchscreen model.
"There's a palpable sense of apathy from consumers to full-touch smartwatches, with the Apple Watch being the only exception," said Ben Wood, from the consultancy CCS Insight.
"The benefits that smart analogue watches have are that there is no compromise over their look and styling, and there is not the inconvenience of having to recharge them every day.
"Furthermore, they are a good fit for traditional watch retailers -  who can sell them without a lot of training - and consumers view those types of stores as a more logical place to buy wrist-wear than tech specialists."
The Misfit Phase uses a normal watch battery to offer up to six months of life, and is water resistant to depths of 50m (164ft).
It can alert users to the fact they have received a call, text or app alert, by vibrating and flashing a small colour window at the bottom of the watch face.
In addition, the bottom side button can be set to trigger a paired smartphone or tablet to take a photo, play music or advance a slide in a presentation.
A final benefit, is that the watch automatically adjusts its hands when a smartphone tells it that the wearer has changed time zone.
It will cost Â£165 when it goes on sale next month, making it slightly more expensive than Garmin's Vivomove and Withing's lower-end Activite models.
The functions are more limited than those offered by the Fitbit Blaze - which is a similar price -  as well as more costly Android Wear and Apple Watch devices.
Because these devices feature touchscreens, they are able to display a greater amount of information and allow their owners to keep their phones in their pockets for basic tasks.
But one technology writer who has tested the Misfit Phase said it might be less likely to be dumped in a drawer after a brief period of use.
"It's not as good a fitness tracker as some of the dedicated wearable or more powerful smartwatches, which can track your heart rate and identify various activities intelligently," said Dan Seifert, senior editor at The Verge.
"But there are several things that make these types of products more approachable: their battery life, the fact that you don't  have to really do anything to the watch to use it - you just put it on your wrist and it does its thing - and the fact it's always there telling you the time in a readable way, whether you are outdoors in bright sunlight or not.
"All those things act as friction-removers because they make it a lot easier to live with the product."


Labour on Tuesday published the party's election manifesto online, a response it says to people's concerns across the country.

But it is a document notable for failing to commit to what have been major Welsh Labour Government projects - up until now.
The party promises to form a government that will be "there for you and your family at the moments that matter".
"All schools will be better funded, but not in competition with one another. Our NHS will be modernised, but not privatised," says party leader Carwyn Jones in the forword.
Big pledges include childcare support for working parents, more money for schools, 100,000 all-age apprenticeships, tax cuts for small businesses, a new treatment fund for the NHS, and a "better deal" for people who need care in old age.
But the document does not say how many local councils should be cut, nor exactly which M4 relief road route should be built.
There's a lot of information on past delivery. But by leaving out some of the most contentious proposals by the Labour government, could this manifesto be the starting point for a post election deal?
And like the Welsh Conservatives and UKIP, there is sparse information on how the policies will be afforded.
The party insists the manifesto is costed, however.
The most remarkable thing about the document's details on transport policy is the lack of information on Welsh Labour's biggest infrastructure project - the M4 relief road.
A Welsh Government consultation is currently underway on plans to build a six-lane motorway south of Newport and over the Gwent Levels.
It is a scheme known as the "Black Route" that is thought to cost more than £1bn and has proved controversial with all political parties.
But the manifesto just says Labour will deliver "a relief road for the M4", and doesn't mention the specific route.
It means that no party is going into the election with a specific manifesto pledge to build the black route - something that could be useful for post-election negotiations with parties that have rejected the project.
Mr Jones told BBC Wales that Labour's preferred option was the black route but added: "We have to keep options open, as we see for example the environmental assessments on the black route".
The manifesto says the South Wales Metro - a plan to upgrade existing transport networks in South Wales - will open "further opportunities to strengthen and diversify the economy of the Valleys", and says the government would start work on the development of a North Wales Metro system
Other pledges include:
Labour says it will "continue" to invest more money per person in health and social services in Wales than is being invested in England.
There is a big stress in the manifesto on the responsibility of individuals to look after themselves. The website says that "everyone in Wales has a responsibility to look after their own health, supported by the NHS".
The document vows there will be no "top-down, large-scale reorganisation under the next Welsh Labour Government", in contrast to proposals from Plaid Cymru.
For North Walians, Labour says it will start discussions with locals about the future of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
The document says a Labour government would "provide ongoing support" to the health board, which is still in special measures, "including reviewing the governance structure if necessary".
It also proposes a new £80m treatment fund to enable most advanced drugs and high cost treatments for cancer and other life threatening illnesses.
One omission is that Labour says it would "re-introduce a Public Health Bill", but they do not say they will try to bring in any kind of e-cigarette restrictions - perhaps a recognition of the reality that it would be very difficult to pass them through the assembly.
Other pledges include:
Mr Jones, who is the current First Minister, has made a big play of the party's business policies - saying Welsh Labour is passionate about growing the economy in a recent Telegraph column.
As well as a Welsh development bank, one of the party's stand out pledges is a business rate cut for all small firms. The manifesto says this would help 70,000 companies and reduce business rate bills to zero for half of eligible firms.
Other economic pledges include:
Labour is promising £100m extra to drive standards in schools, and to create 100,000 "all-age" apprenticeships.
It also says the party would invest £2bn between now and 2023 in the 21st century schools building programme, which is already in operation.
The manifesto is perhaps the least specific of the five big parties when it comes to the issue of tuition fees, suggesting this will be decided after the election.
It says there will be a "better package of student support than that on offer in England based on the recommendations of the Diamond review."
Other pledges include:
Another surprise is a lack of detail on how many local councils there should be, following mergers.
The manifesto does commit to "stronger, larger local authorities" but does not say how many.
The Welsh Labour Government has previously stated it thinks eight or nine authorities are the best model for Wales.
But like the M4 relief road Black Route it is hugely contentious, with no real support from any other party for the precise map.
It's extraordinary given how the government has pushed the issue - the wording could again prove useful for coalition building.
Mr Jones said on Monday that he would prefer it "if we could work with other parties to get to an agreed position on the number we need".
It all suggests Labour is prepared to move away from the eight or nine council map.
There is not much in the way of new pledges in the area of natural resources and rural affairs. Labour says it will continue to improve animal welfare, and that sustainable development will remain a central organising principle of the government.
Other notable pledges include:


An Islamic court has sentenced nine people to death for insulting the Prophet Muhammad in the northern Nigerian city of Kano.

The accused, who were all Muslims, had pleaded guilty, the head of Kano's religious police, Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, told the BBC.
The trial was speedily done in secret after a section of the court was burnt down by angry protesters last month.
It is not known if they will appeal against the sentence.
The alleged offence was committed last month at a religious gathering in honour of Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse, the Senegalese founder of the Tijaniya sect, which has a large following across West Africa.
The nine, eight man and a woman, were reported to have said that "Niasse was bigger than Prophet Muhammad", triggering unrest.
The venue was burnt to the ground by an angry mob and the nine were arrested,
"There has been consensus among Muslims scholars that insulting the prophet carries a death sentence," Mr Daurawa told the BBC Hausa service.
"We quickly put them on trial to avoid bloodshed because people were very angry and trying to take law into their hands," he added.
Kano has a predominately Muslim population and Islamic courts operate alongside secular courts.
BBC Kano reporter Yusuf Yakasai said people celebrated in some parts of the city when news of the judgement emerged.
Tijaniya at a glance
The Sufi sect of Tijaniya was founded in Algeria in 1784 by Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Tijani.
It spread all over the world, with large following in north and west Africa. It also has followers in South Africa, Indonesia and other parts of the world.
There are other Sufi sects in Islam but Tijaniya is the largest.
They have three main daily practices: Asking the forgiveness of God; sending prayers to the Prophet Muhammad and affirming the Oneness of Allah.
Senegalese-born Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse was credited with reviving the sect in the 20th Century. People travel from across the continent to visit his shrine.
They have several factions including the Haqiqa (Realist) group, whose leaders were convicted accused of blasphemy in Kano.
Several states in predominantly Muslims northern Nigeria have introduced Sharia law after the country returned to civilian rule in 1999.
This is the first time a death sentence has been handed down for blasphemy in northern Nigeria.
The sentence has been delivered for other offences such as adultery but none has been carried out.


An appeal to clear the name of a Derby suffragette jailed for plotting to kill a British prime minister is moving forward.

Shopkeeper Alice Wheeldon was found guilty of a poison plot against David Lloyd George in 1917.
But a campaign to clear her name, which saw her former home get a commemorative plaque, has continued.
Now, her great granddaughter Chloe Mason has said a submission to the Court of Appeal is being prepared.
Known for their anti-war views, Mrs Wheeldon, daughters Nellie, Hetty and Winnie and son William were the focus of government attention.
On 31 January 1917, they were arrested and accused of plotting to kill Lloyd George with poison darts.
Mrs Wheeldon, Winnie and son-in-law Alfred Mason were convicted. Mrs Wheeldon served only nine months of a 10-year sentence but died soon after release.
Supporters have insisted the family were set up by an MI5 agent who was known for dishonesty.
Ms Mason, granddaughter of Mrs Wheeldon, said: "It is an ugly burden to carry that the family were not only convicted and went to prison but suffered terrible persecution subsequently for something we think they did not do.
"We need a criminal justice system that is fair and does things properly, so it is about the credibility and integrity of the system itself."
She has now met a legal team to begin work on a submission to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which will decide whether the case can go before the Court of Appeal.


Climate change has been a huge issue for a long time now - with many people worried about melting glaciers - huge pieces of ice - causing rising sea levels.

World leaders, including US President Barack Obama, have held a special meeting, to try to stop the problem getting worse.
During the meeting, the President warned that a failure to act on climate change is a "betrayal" of future generations.
He said climate change was moving faster than efforts to address it, and the US and China had a responsibility to lead other nations.
China has now pledged to take firm action on climate change for the first time.
The summit, which took place in New York, was the first major gathering of high-level leaders since 2009.
Scientists say a rise in man-made greenhouse gases has resulted in some shrinking of glaciers, sea levels going up slightly and the temperature of some seas around the world rising. Greenhouse gases are produced by many things including burning fossil fuels like oil, natural gas and coal.
Animals like polar bears, seals and penguins could be under threat if there isn't enough food as a result of changing conditions. Small islands may be also be lost, if sea levels rise in the future.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who has been appointed as a United Nations representative on climate change, told the UN audience that climate change was not ''a fiction''.
The Hollywood actor said there was ''evidence that accelerated climate change is here, right now''.
The meeting was hosted by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
As he closed the summit, Mr Ban hailed the meeting, saying "never before have so many leaders gathered to commit to action on climate change".
He said: "Today, we must set the world on a new course," said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon "I am asking you to lead".
Many protestors demonstrated outside the meeting. They're angry at some businesses who they claim can use too many fossil fuels. Protestors want them to use cleaner, more environmentally friendly fuels for the future.


A woman has died after her motorcycle collided with the central reservation of a motorway in County Kildare on Saturday evening.

It happened on the M9 between junctions 1 and 2 at about 20:30 BST.
The woman, who was in her 40s, was declared dead at the scene.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.


A Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) worker was injured when a car body fell on him on the production line, it is understood.

Colleagues lifted the car body off the man at the plant in Castle Bromwich, the Birmingham Mail reported.
"A man in his 30s had a chest injury and a minor head injury after an incident with some of the plant at the factory," the ambulance service said.
JLR said it had begun an investigation into the incident which happened about 09:40 BST.
The man, who was was believed to be working on a section where Jaguar F-Type bodies and engines are combined, was taken to Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham after ambulance staff immobilised him with the use of a spinal board and administered pain relief.
"When ambulance staff arrived he had already been freed and was being cared for by colleagues", the ambulance service said.


Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy is the only English player named on the 55-man shortlist for the Fifa FIFPro team of the year.

From September, girls joining the Brownies and Guides in the UK, will no longer have to pledge their devotion to God.

Girlguiding UK found they needed a new vow that includes non-religious members and those who follow other faiths.
It has been replaced with a new promise to "be true to myself and develop my beliefs".
The new oath drops the reference to God for the first time since Guides began in 1910.
Brownies and Guides currently vow to "to love my God, to serve my Queen and my country".
I promise that I will do my best
To be true to myself and develop my beliefs
To serve the Queen and my community
To help other people
and
To keep the Guide (Brownie) law
The consultation about the vow was carried out earlier this year and involved nearly 44,000 Girlguiding UK members and non-members.
Chief Guide Gill Slocombe said: "Guiding believes in having one promise that is a clear statement of our core values for all our members to commit to. We hope that our new promise will allow all girls - of all faiths and none - to understand and feel proud of their commitment."


Proposals by the University of Gloucestershire to extend one of its campuses have upset nearby allotment-holders who would have to relocate.

Plans to expand Oxtalls campus in Gloucester which would mean moving the allotments from Estcourt Park.
Allotment-holders said the suggested relocation site would be a "waste of time" as it was on a flood plain.
The university hopes to submit an outline planning application by August and a detailed application in 2016.
The land involved also includes the former Bishops College site, owned by the county council, as well as the allotments, owned by the city council.
The suggested relocation site for the 62 allotments is at Plock Court which allotment-holders say is unsuitable.
Allotment warden Keith Evans said: "If we've got to go to Plock Court, we're wasting our time because it's a flood plain. You're flogging a dead horse."
Conservative city council leader Paul James said he "could understand" why the allotment holders did not want to move, but said the council wanted to "help the university to achieve their ambitions".
He said: "Plock Court is a possibility but we're not entirely fixed on that as yet.
"We have a huge amount of land, if we put everything together, so it's about trying to make use of those assets combined in the best way possible for the university and for the wider community.
"We recognise the importance of the allotments and we will make sure any new site is as good as the existing one."
The university's expansion plans include moving its business school from Cheltenham to Oxtalls and improving its sports facilities.
It said it had delivered letters this week, inviting local residents to information sessions in April.


Leicester scored two late second-half tries to come from behind in a frantic finale for an exciting Premiership victory over Gloucester at Kingsholm.

Trailing 12-7 at half-time, Telusa Veainu got one back before Tommy Bell converted fellow replacement Logovi'i Mulipola's late try in the corner.
Gloucester's two first-half tries came from James Hook, who finished with a 13-point haul, and Ben Morgan.
Marcos Ayerza scored Leicester's other try, his first in 95 matches.
Relive Saturday's Premiership action
Tigers' winning try came after the home side had been reduced to 14 men for the final five minutes. England forward Morgan was yellow carded after being adjudged by the TMO to have held back Veainu when he looked set to be handed a scoring pass.
Gloucester made seven changes to the side that completed their European Challenge Cup group games with a 100% record to win 14-11 in Italy against Zebre last weekend, Billy Twelvetrees captaining the Cherry and Whites against his former club.
Leicester were without Ben Youngs and Dan Cole, who are away on England duty, the suspended Tom Youngs and the injured Manu Tuilagi, who has tweaked a hamstring just two games into his return after a 15-month absence with a groin problem.
After 22 minutes without a score, Gloucester then scored twice inside two minutes. Hook broke through to convert his own try before the home side got away with a forward pass to cross again through Morgan in the corner, Hook hitting the post with the conversion.
Ayerza then scored after Tigers cashed in on Freddie Burns' kick-through. But, although the Leicester stand-off converted, he failed with three penalty attempts - and instead it was the first of Hook's two penalties that stretched the home side further clear at the break.
As in the first half, there was no scoring in the first half of the second period, and Gloucester still led 15-7 with 12 minutes left. But winger Veainu got one back and, although Burns again missed, Bell held his nerve to land the all-important conversion when Leicester crossed again.
Gloucester rugby director David Humphreys:

"It [the yellow card] was a big decision. There was some contact, no question, but it certainly wasn't the reason we lost the game.
"The game was very much in our control but a couple of key errors at key points of the match meant we couldn't build the score.
"We got ourselves into a position to win the game. The first 15 minutes of the second half, we had a lot of territory and possession, but didn't manage to take those opportunities.
"Against the top teams, you have got to take opportunities as they came along in the opposition 22."
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill:
"I was pleased with our resilience to stay in the game. I am pleased we stayed in the arm-wrestle.
"Gloucester should have taken advantage of the opportunities they had, and they didn't, and it always comes back to bite you.
"Manu Tuilagi's hamstring was a bit tight after the Stade Francais game, and he had it scanned and there was the tiniest of strains there. It is nothing serious."

The US has said it will seek clarity on the Philippine president's announcement of a "separation from the US".

Rodrigo Duterte made the comments in China on Thursday at an economic forum, saying the separation applied to military and economic co-operation.
US officials said the remarks were "at odds" with the "close relationship" shared by the countries.
Mr Duterte has grown increasingly hostile towards the US - a traditional ally - since taking office in June.
His presidential spokesman said the latest comments were a "restatement" of "independent foreign policy".
"This is not an intent to renege on our treaties, but an assertion that we are an independent and sovereign nation," Ernesto Abella said on Friday.
He explained Mr Duturte wanted to "separate the nation from dependence on the US and the West and rebalance economic and military relations with Asian neighbours".
Several members of Mr Duterte's cabinet members have also said their country would not sever ties with Washington.
Speaking at a business forum in Beijing on Thursday, Mr Duterte said: "I announce my separation from the United States. Both in military, not maybe social, but economics also. America has lost."
"I've realigned myself in your ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to [President Vladimir] Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world - China, Philippines, and Russia. It's the only way," Mr Duterte said.
This was not the Philippine president's first mention of a separation from the US.
He recently said he would end joint military exercises with American troops and told US President Barack Obama he could "go to hell" after US criticism over his bloody war against drugs.
US State Department spokesman John Kirby said the US was "baffled by this rhetoric" and that Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Russel would be in Manila this weekend to try to get some answers.
Mr Duterte is in China to promote trade and business deals including deals to attract more Chinese tourists to the Philippines and increasing Filipino food exports to China. He also said he would approach China to buy weapons and boats to upgrade the country's military.
Philippine Secretary of Trade and Industry Ramon Lopez said he hoped $13.5bn (£11bn) in deals would be signed during the Beijing visit.
Previous relations between China and the Philippines had deteriorated over a territorial dispute in the South China Sea, after an international tribunal sided with Manila and rejected Beijing's claims.
But on Thursday, the two countries said they would restart dialogue to resolve the dispute.
Although Mr Duterte maintained fiery rhetoric towards Beijing during his presidential campaign, he switched to a more reconciliatory tone after taking power in June.


Radamel Falcao has confirmed he will return to Monaco next season.

The Colombian spent the 2014-15 season on loan at Manchester United and then joined Chelsea last term.
Neither spell was a success, with Falcao scoring four goals in 29 appearances for United and once in 12 for Chelsea.
He did not make Colombia's Copa America squad and now intends to restart his career with Monaco, where he has two years remaining on his contract.
"June 24 will initiate training with @asmonaco," Falcao wrote on Instagram. "Excited and committed to start the pre-season with the club."


Liverpool have signed central defender Steven Caulker on loan until the end of season from Championship side QPR.

The 24-year-old, capped once by England, was on loan at Southampton - but that agreement has been cancelled to allow him to move to Anfield.
He is eligible to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Liverpool have been hit by a succession of injuries to central defenders and boss Jurgen Klopp said Caulker is the "best solution" for the club.
The 48-year-old German added: "We want to press the opponent and so they have to play long balls.
"If they play long balls, you need people in the last line who can help you with headers and we've found it with Steven Caulker."
The Merseyside club have lost Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren to hamstring injuries, but Kolo Toure (cramp) and Mamadou Sakho (knee) will be fit to face Arsenal.
Tiago Ilori was recalled from a loan spell at Aston Villa to play in the 2-2 FA Cup third-round draw at Exeter on Friday.
Caulker's last Southampton appearance came in the 6-1 League Cup defeat by Liverpool on 2 December.
"Steven came in in the summer before we signed Virgil van Dijk because we had long-term injuries and he was a back-up," said Saints boss Ronald Koeman.
"He didn't play a lot and normally we have more defenders for that position. I am not going to stop his opportunity to play for Liverpool."
The Reds have been linked with former Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic and Schalke defender Joel Matip, who could still move to Anfield in the summer.
Caulker, who won his one England cap in 2012, has seen his career stall after moving on loan to St Mary's Stadium after previously playing for Tottenham Hotspur and Cardiff City.
He also had loan spells at Yeovil Town, Bristol City and Swansea City during his time at White Hart Lane.

England and Sunderland footballer Adam Johnson is due to face trial on child sex charges next February.

The 28-year-old, who has played 12 times for England, appeared at Durham Crown Court for a pre-trial hearing.
The winger previously pleaded not guilty to three counts of sexual activity with a child under 16 and another of grooming.
Mr Johnson, from Castle Eden, County Durham, is on conditional bail and will be tried at Bradford Combined Court.
His trial was due to start later this month but Judge Christopher Prince ruled it should be put back until 10 February 2016.
The footballer walked into the court for the hearing, which dealt with legal rulings, with a group of men, including his legal team and his father.
The three charges of sexual activity relate to a single night in January at two locations in County Durham, while the grooming offence was said to have happened between December and February.
Mr Johnson was arrested in March.
Born in Sunderland, he began his career at Middlesbrough before moving to Manchester City and then Sunderland for Â£10m in 2012.


A car has crashed into a shop window in south Belfast.

It is understood the car was being driven by an elderly man. The emergency services have been attending the scene.
Police said the crash happened at about 17:00 BST near the junction with Osborne Park.
No-one is thought to have been seriously injured and it is understood the crash has not caused any major traffic delays.
Eyewitness Jill Brennan said she heard a huge bang.
"The car accelerated from the Lisburn Road pretty much straight into the front of Russell's, the grocery store.
"It was so lucky there was nobody outside the shop, there was literally a dog tied up outside the shop, but it was so lucky there was no one walking, particularly in that part of the road at that time.
"They would have been wiped out if they had of been there.
"They were also really lucky there was no-one at the front of Russell's at that time either."
She added that the bang was "unbelievable".
"Everyone ran over to see if there were casualties, the dog was going mad but the owner of the dog came and took it away."
She said that an older couple were in the car and that they both appeared to be shaken but not seriously injured.


Most people in a survey marking 15 years since the Good Friday Agreement referendum said they believe Northern Ireland is now a better place to live.

The survey, carried out for the Nolan Show by Ipsos Mori, said 71% of the 1008 people surveyed said life was slightly or much better.
Sixty-four percent of those who agreed were Protestant and 77% were Catholic.
However, 32% said the current system of power sharing at Stormont was not working well.
Twice as many Protestants as Catholics held that view.
And more than half of those questioned felt that Stormont politicians were not doing enough to tackle sectarianism - 57% of Protestants and 48% of Catholics felt this.
But the response to a question on whether Northern Ireland is more or less divided than it was 15 years ago got a positive response, with 47% saying that they felt it was less divided.
A total of 1,008 interviews were conducted for the Nolan Show by Ipsos Mori between 30 April and 13 May 2013, with a representative sample of the Northern Ireland population aged 16 and over.
The interviews were held at 50 places across Northern Ireland.
Fifteen years ago on 22 May 1998, voters went to the polls to vote yes or no to the Good Friday Agreement - more than 71% of people in Northern Ireland voted yes.


Corporate companies receiving Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) subsidies can be named by the Department for the Economy, a judge has ruled.

However, details of individuals getting the money can only be revealed after their concerns over the implications of publication are properly considered.
Five hundred boiler owners went to court to stop the publication of their details.
The court heard some were companies, but others were listed as individuals.
At a hearing on Thursday afternoon, a barrister for the boiler owners said they would not be seeking an extension of the temporary injunction barring the publication of their details.
The judge said there was now "no impediment" on the department publishing the names of firms in receipt of the subsidy.
A spokesperson for the department said they welcomed the judgement and "will publish information as soon as is practical and all details are checked and released in line with the court decision".
Former first minister Arlene Foster set up the RHI scheme in 2012 when she was enterprise minister; it was an attempt by the Northern Ireland Executive to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources.
But flaws in setting the scheme's subsidy rate left it open to abuse as claimants could earn more cash the more fuel they burned; the lack of cost controls led to an overspend that could cost taxpayers £490m over the next 20 years.
Thursday's snap election was called after a coalition led by Mrs Foster's DUP and Sinn Féin collapsed after deputy first minister Martin McGuinness resigned over Mrs Foster's refusal to step aside during an inquiry into the debacle.
A barrister for the boiler owners claimed there would be a "media feeding frenzy" after the publication of their names and businesses would suffer from the publicity.
However, Mr Justice Deeny said publication of the names would help prevent abuse of the scheme and prevent damage to the economy through "excessive payments".
He highlighted the case of one well-known company which, he said, had earned £302,000 in subsidy since July 2015 from seven 99kw boilers.
He said there might well be legitimate reasons for that and similar installations and they could be explained to any "inquiry, journalist or member of the public".
A barrister for the department had argued that the "public interest" in stemming the flow of money from the scheme superseded applicants' privacy rights under contract and data protection laws.
The judge ruled that the application for RHI subsidy did not amount to a legally binding contract.
He said the department had the right to vary the terms.
It was claimed by the boiler owners lawyer that a drive by Economy Minister Simon Hamilton to publish the names was an attempt to deflect criticism from the DUP whose "cronies" had allegedly benefitted.
Mr Justice Deeny said the court could not "draw that conclusion".


David Wheeler scored the only goal of the game as Exeter City extended their unbeaten run to 10 games with victory over fellow League Two play-off hopefuls Portsmouth.

Wheeler netted his ninth goal of the season as the Grecians moved up to seventh with victory at Fratton Park.
Portsmouth had the first chance of the game in the sixth minute when Carl Baker's low cross found Conor Chaplin, but his flicked effort went just wide of the post.
Reuben Reid forced Pompey's goalkeeper into action six minutes later after weaving his way into the box and attempting a curling effort, but he was denied by David Forde.
Exeter took the lead in the 57th minute after the ball rebounded off Pompey's Danny Rose before finding Wheeler, who lashed it into the roof of the net.
Gareth Evans almost earned a point for Portsmouth in the 72nd minute but his stinging effort was well matched by Exeter goalkeeper Christy Pym who managed to hold onto the ball.
Report supplied by the Press Association.

Eight children have been found dead at a house in Cairns in northern Queensland, say Australian police.

Police said a 34-year-old woman who was the mother of at least seven of the children had been taken to hospital with stab wounds but was stable.
Police have not confirmed Australian reports that the children, aged between 18 months and 15 years, were stabbed.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said in a statement it was an "unspeakable crime".
He said all parents would feel "gut-wrenching sadness at what has happened".
A candlelit vigil and church service were held in Cairns on Friday night.
The house in the Manoora suburb has been cordoned off.
Police said it was a "tragic event" but there was no cause for public concern.
They have not made any arrests, but said the injured woman was assisting with their investigations.
Cairns Detective Inspector Bruno Asnicar confirmed to reporters that the woman was the mother of at least seven of the children, but that formal identification of the bodies had not yet taken place.
"We believe the other child is a family member but that is being followed up," he said.
He said police could not confirm how the children died until coroners' reports were carried out.
Police are speaking to a range of people, he said, including a man seen near the house earlier in the day, but there are as yet no formal suspects.
Specialist police officers were being brought in from Brisbane, he said, including child trauma experts.
AAP reporter Cleo Fraser at the scene told the BBC residents were standing in the street in shock.
Queensland Police said in a statement earlier that they were called to a residence in Murray Street at 11:20 local time (01:20 GMT) following reports of a woman with serious injuries.
"During an examination of the residence police located the bodies of the children, all aged between 18 months and 15 years," said the statement.
Associated Press quoted Lisa Thaiday, a cousin of the injured woman, as saying that the children were found by their elder sibling, a 20-year-old man, when he returned to the house.
"I'm going to see him now, he needs comforting," Ms Thaiday said. "We're a big family... I just can't believe it. We just found out [about] those poor babies."
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said he was "deeply saddened and shocked" by the events.
"Indeed, the whole Cairns community and the people of Queensland will feel the effects of this tragedy, particularly at a time of year when families come together."
The deaths come with Australia still reeling from the siege of a cafe in Sydney which ended on Tuesday morning, with the gunman and two hostages dead.
Mr Abbott said in his statement that these were "trying days for our country".
Several police and governmental investigations are under way into the police operation and how the gunman, Man Haron Monis, was able to carry out the attack.
Monis was on bail at the time of the attack after being charged with sexual assaults and being an accessory to the murder of his wife.


Anti-drug agents in Paraguay have seized nearly 1,700kg (3,700 pounds) of cocaine.

They say the drug was about to be taken on small planes to neighbouring Brazil and other countries.
Police say Paraguay's most wanted man, Ezequiel de Souza, was among the 20 people arrested at a ranch in north-eastern Paraguay.
An unauthorised airstrip was found and weapons and small planes seized in the operation in Canindeyu district.
Alleged Bolivian drug lord Marco Antonio Rocca Ali, known as "El Presi", was also arrested at the ranch on Saturday night.
Paraguayan police say this is the biggest seizure of drugs in the South American country this year.
The National Anti-Drug Secretariat (Senad) said it still expected to find more bags of cocaine hidden underground and in the nearby woods.
President Federico Franco congratulated the 40 agents who took part in the operation near the city of Salto del Guaira.
"Paraguay is committed to fight drug-trafficking," he said.
"It will become known abroad as a sovereign nation, not as a drug-trafficking country."
Landlocked Paraguay has borders with Bolivia, one of South America's main cocaine producers, and Brazil, which has become one of the world's top consumers of illegal drugs.


When Brazilian indigenous leader Tashka Yawanawa saw the news on television that communities from Peru were campaigning to prevent the construction of dams close to their land, he had no doubt about how he could help.

He turned on his computer, and using Skype, he contacted indigenous movements involved in the protest to offer both his support and to publicise the cause in Brazil.
"Today, indigenous groups can no longer escape the white man's technology," says Mr Yawanawa.
"We have to update ourselves, and prepare to face this new world."
He belongs to the Yawanawa people, who live in the Brazilian Amazon, an area where indigenous communities have also fought many battles against hydroelectric dams.
He leads an organisation that seeks to build links with similar movements in other Latin American countries so they can learn from each other's campaigns.
His initiative reflects an unprecedented effort among the region's indigenous groups, as they join forces to resist major projects which they see as damaging to their territories.
It is part of a growing conflict as governments, seeking what they say is badly needed economic growth, build roads and hydro-electric dams, and exploit natural resources such as oil, copper and gold.
At the same time, indigenous groups say they are fighting to ensure that their traditional way of life is preserved.
Skype is one tool they are using to co-ordinate campaigns, alongside more traditional tactics such as adopting a unified position in international organisations including the UN and the Organisation of American States (OAS).
"We are mapping all the achievements of our fellow indigenous peoples in the continent in order to use their experiences here in Brazil," says Marcos Apurina from the Co-ordination of Indigenous Organisations of the Brazilian Amazon (Coiab).
"Our problems are almost identical to the native peoples of other countries."
This approach has been led by large national indigenous organisations and regional movements such as the Co-ordination of Indigenous Organisations of the Amazon Basin (Coica).
Coica operates across national boundaries, helping groups in Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.
Coica's work also involves organising meetings and workshops to help indigenous communities learn about international conventions, and also tips on lobbying and dealing with people in positions of power.
These gatherings allow indigenous leaders to discuss ways of putting pressure on governments to demarcate their territories.
They also discuss how international bodies can help guarantee indigenous rights or prevent major economic projects from having a detrimental impact.
"We are concerned about the new form of development known as the 'green economy'. We understand this as an effort to exploit natural resources in indigenous territories," says Rodrigo de la Cruz from Coica.
Several projects in the Brazil-Peru border region aim to expand the economic and transport integration between the two countries in the coming years.
The Inter-Oceanic Highway, connecting the north-west of Brazil to Peruvian ports on the Pacific coast, was inaugurated in 2011.
According to indigenous movements, this has brought several problems to the region, such as deforestation and illegal mining.
Jaime Corisepa, president of the Native Federation of Madre de Dios River and Tributaries (Fenamad), says that conditions may worsen if other projects go ahead.
One is the planned construction of six hydro-electric dams in Peru to supply the Brazilian market.
Protests forced the Peruvian government to suspend this project and to start a process of local consultation.
Using new technology and holding regional summits are ways to co-ordinate protests, but indigenous campaigners are also building on relationships that existed long before national boundaries and laws were established.
Marcela Vecchione, from the Pro-Indian Commission (CPI) in the Brazilian state of Acre, in Brazil, says that in many areas, indigenous communities are divided by artificial boundaries.
That is the case of the Manchineri people, divided by a border in 1904 when Brazil annexed the state of Acre.
"I often visit my family on the other side of the border. For me, travelling from Peru to Brazil means only crossing a river," says Geraldo Manchineri.
But thanks to technology, communication across much longer distances has become easier.
Indigenous leaders hope to take advantage of this new way of co-ordinating and gather 1,200 people in Rio de Janeiro this June when world leaders will come together for the Rio+20 meeting.


More than 300,000 people have signed a petition urging Apple not to ditch the headphone socket from the version of the iPhone due for release this autumn.

Online reports suggest Apple plans to omit the 3.5mm socket to make the iPhone 7 thinner and more waterproof, with more room for the battery.
The Fast Company reported it would rely on the Lightning cable port, currently used for charging, for sound output.
Others suggest Apple will ship the iPhone 7 with wireless headphones.
The Sum of Us, a website "fighting for people over profits", which organised the petition, said: "Not only will this force iPhone users to dole out additional cash to replace their hi-fi headphones, it will singlehandedly create mountains of electronic waste that likely won't get recycled."
Tech website The Verge said: "Removing [the] headphone [socket] from phones is something that no-one is asking for and has serious drawbacks including poor compatibility and accessibility, [and] DRM [digital rights management] audio [ie with built-in copyright enforcement]."
Many complained on Twitter that removing the socket would render expensive headphones useless.
Some complained having to use the Lightning port would mean "no music while charging".
One tweeted: "I am OK with Apple removing the headphone [socket] as long as they bundle Lightning EarBuds with the iPhone 7."
Others said that they would not be upgrading.
But not everyone is convinced that losing the jack is a bad idea.
John Gruber, who writes the technology blog Daring Fireball and is regarded as an authority on all things Apple, makes the point that losing the jack would make more room for a larger battery.
"Removing the analogue headphone jack is inevitable. This is what makes Apple different. They will initiate a painful transition for a long-term gain," he writes.
"In five years we'll look at analogue headphone jacks the way we look at all the other legacy ports we've abandoned."
Apple introduced support for headphones over its Lightning cable in 2014.
In the same year, it paid $3bn (Â£2bn) for the acquisition of headphone maker Beats.
And the Mac Rumours website suggests Apple could be preparing bespoke headphones for the phone.
It noted that a trademark application had been filed for the term "AirPods" in October last year.
And while Apple was not directly linked to these applications, the site said, "the pattern of filings is consistent with Apple's usual strategy".
If the rumours prove true, it will not be the first time Apple has abandoned what it sees as outdated technology.
In 1998 it released the iMac G3 without a floppy disk, leaving many questioning the wisdom of the move.
But, just more than a decade later, Sony - a pioneer of the floppy disk - announced it was killing off the storage device.
