A metre-long fish that escaped from an aquatic centre during recent flooding has been found.

The sturgeon, named Steve, swam out of World of Water in Romsey, Hampshire when it was inundated by flood water in early February.
But now staff at a car wash a mile from the centre have discovered him in a deep puddle.
A larger koi carp fish named Chadwick escaped at the same time but, despite sightings, has not yet been retrieved.
Centre manager Mark Bradbury said he was "hugely relieved" Steve had been recovered and "only a little worse for wear for his travels."
The seven-year-old fish was used as part of the shop's displays, but Mr Bradbury said similar fish would retail for up to Â£1,000.
"He must have crossed the road and got to the petrol station through the flood water. He's got a few bumps and scrapes but is happy to be back with his friends," he explained.
The centre has now re-opened after being closed for three weeks because of the floods.


At least two people have died in fresh clashes between protesters and troops in the Egyptian capital Cairo, bringing the death toll since Friday to 13.

Security forces moved into Tahrir Square before dawn, using batons and tear gas to drive out the protesters, who retaliated by throwing stones.
By dawn, the protesters returned to the square, while the troops again manned barricades in nearby streets.
The ruling generals said the clashes were a plot to destabilise the country.
Gen Adel Emara, a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), said there was "systematic" plan to destroy the Egyptian state by shaking confidence in its security forces.
"From the start of the revolution, evil forces have wanted to drag Egypt into a chaos, putting army into confrontation with the people," he added.
Gen Emara also insisted soldiers and police had shown "self-restraint".
Earlier, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was "deeply concerned" by the violence and urged the authorities "to respect and protect the universal rights of all Egyptians".
"Those who are protesting should do so peacefully and refrain from acts of violence," Mrs Clinton added.
Cairo clashes reveal deep divisions
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also said he was highly alarmed at the "excessive use of force employed by the security forces".
In recent weeks, thousands have taken to the streets, demanding the ruling military council hand over power to a civilian government.
The council assumed presidential powers after Hosni Mubarak stepped down in February in the wake of a popular uprising. It has pledged to hand power to an elected president by July.
On Monday, the security forces moved into Tahrir Square at about 03:00 (01:00 GMT), seeking to drive the demonstrators out, witnesses said.
The protesters fled down nearby streets away from the cabinet office and parliament building, where they have been throwing stones and petrol bombs at security forces.
By dawn, the demonstrators had begun returning to the square, and security forces took up positions again behind barricades.
"Rocks and Molotov cocktails are being thrown on both sides," one witness, Ahmed Raafat, told the BBC. "Water canons are used against protesters, and from time to time we hear gunshots coming from the security forces' side."
The BBC's Yolande Knell in Cairo says there are patches of blood on the ground in Tahrir Square and many activists have fresh injuries.
The health ministry said at least two people were killed in Monday's clashes.
However, a doctor at a field hospital in Tahrir Square told the Associated Press that six people had died. He said they all had gunshot wounds.
The latest violence began just after the second round of parliamentary elections, which Egyptians hope will bring stability and civilian rule.
In recent days, soldiers and police in riot gear have been filmed beating activists with sticks after they had fallen to the ground - scenes which have brought international condemnation.
One photograph taken on Saturday showed two Egyptian soldiers dragging a woman on the ground by her clothing, exposing her underwear.
Some Egyptians have expressed outrage, but others want to focus on voting not continuing unrest, our correspondent adds.
Islamist parties are on track to win a majority in the People's Assembly.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party has said it received 39% of votes cast for party lists in the second round of voting last week. The ultraconservative Salafist al-Nour Party said its list received 30%.
Of the 160 individual seats contested in the second phase, the Freedom and Justice Party won 29, while al-Nour won 23. The liberal Wafd Party and Egyptian Bloc won nine and seven seats respectively.
The rest will be determined in run-off votes later this week.


MPs are debating the future of the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system amid calls by the SNP for it to be scrapped.

A decision on whether to press ahead with building four new submarines for the seaborne deterrent, expected to cost £31bn, will be taken next year.
The SNP, who have secured a Commons debate, said Trident was a "political ego trip" which would never be used.
But Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said Trident was part of an "array of weapons" that the UK needed to have.
He told MPs it was worrying that the long-established cross-party consensus about the necessity of having a continuous-at-sea nuclear weapons capability was "weakening", saying the existing posture "worked".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn opposes Trident renewal but many of his MPs disagree with him and Labour has dismissed Tuesday's debate as a stunt.
The "maingate" decision on whether to order four new Vanguard submarines, to replace the existing fleet, will be taken in 2016.
The government revealed on Monday that the total cost of renewing Trident has risen by £6bn to £31bn and the start date for the replacement submarines had been put back until "the early 2030s".
The SNP want the submarines, which are currently based at Faslane naval base on the Clyde, removed from Scottish soil. They have criticised the "ballooning" cost of Trident, saying it could consume up to 50% of the UK's total military procurement budget.
"Trident is not a military weapon, Trident is a political weapon," Brendan O'Hara, the party's defence spokesman told MPs. "And it is a political weapon that can never and will never be used."
"Money that should be doing good, whether on peacekeeping, reacting to emergencies or alleviating the humanitarian crisis currently unfolding in front of us in the Middle East is being sacrificed on a combined military and political ego trip."
But Mr Fallon defend the cost, saying spread out over 35 years - the lifetime of the successor submarines - it amounted to 0.2% of total government spending per year and would provide an "insurance policy" for the UK's defences up to 2060.
"Our allies and adversaries will be paying attention (to the debate)," he said. "It is not a time to gamble with our security."
Official Labour policy remains to renew Trident, but party leader Jeremy Corbyn is firmly opposed and a review is taking place to consider the party's stance. Labour MPs are being asked to abstain in the vote - but as many as 20 are thought to be prepared to rebel and vote for Trident to be renewed.
Shadow defence secretary Maria Eagle is not among the few Labour MPs present in the chamber for the debate while many of the 15 or so that are, including John Woodcock,  who represents Barrow-in-Furness, where the submarines are built, Jamie Reid and Angela Smith, have made the case for renewal.
Speaking officially for the opposition, shadow defence minister Toby Perkins accused the SNP of trying to score "cheap political points" by highlighting "perceived" Labour splits on the issue, rather than engaging is serious debate.
£31bn
In case costs overrun, the government will also set aside £10bn
Previous estimates put the cost at up to £25bn
Insisting that Labour's review - to be co-chaired by Ms Eagle and former London Mayor Ken Livingstone - would come up with an agreed position that the party could unite behind, he insisted: "We will not play political games with an issue as important as this."
Ahead of Tuesday's debate, former Labour Defence Secretary Lord Browne warned Trident could be rendered obsolete by cyber attacks.
Lord Browne, who held the job between 2006 and 2008, told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg that ministers had an "obligation" to assure MPs all parts of the nuclear deterrent had been assessed against the risk of a cyber attack and that protections were in place.
He said: "If they are unable to do that then there is no guarantee that we will have a reliable deterrent or the prime minister will be able to use this system when he needs to reach for it."
The strategic defence review published on Monday committed the government to a debate on the future of Trident but not a vote on the main renewal decision. However, Mr Cameron said he was "keen" to hold a non-binding vote "at the appropriate moment".
The government has said the revised cost - including a £10bn contingency - and timescale of the project reflected the "greater understanding we now have about the detailed design of the submarines and their manufacture".


Back in December Donald Trump said New Jersey Governor Chris Christie "totally knew" about his staff engaging in a politically motivated closing in 2013 of several lanes on a key bridge from his state into New York City.

It turns out Mr Trump may have been right.
On Monday, federal prosecutors in the trial of two New Jersey government officials over their involvement in what has become known as the "Bridgegate" scandal said one of the defendants and a star witness boasted about their actions to the New Jersey governor at the time.
It's a rare point of agreement between the prosecutors and the defence attorneys whose case largely rests on Mr Christie's knowledge - and approval - of the lane closures.
The prosecution asserts that even though Mr Christie obviously knew of his aides' actions, which were taken to punish a local Democratic mayor who declined to endorse the governor in his 2013 re-election bid, the staff members should still be held culpable.
"At the end of this case the only issue for you to decide is whether Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni are guilty of the crimes with which they are charged beyond a reasonable doubt," prosecutor Vikas Khanna said. "That's it."
Monday's revelation runs counter to the governor's repeated insistence that he knew nothing about the actions of his subordinates, which he said were "completely inappropriate and unsanctioned". More than that, it caps what can only be described as an epic reversal of fortune for the man who five years ago was considered a rising star in the Republican Party and had once been talked about as presidential front-runner in both 2012 and 2016.
The Bridgegate scandal first ensnared Mr Christie in January 2014, when news spread that a series of traffic jams on the George Washington Bridge were more than just a routine bridge maintenance project.
In the ensuing months, Mr Christie's in-state approval numbers tanked, putting his 2016 White House hopes in danger.
Federal prosecutors conducted an investigation and indicted Mr Christie's aides, not the governor, in the matter in 2015. He ended up making a run for the Republican presidential nomination despite the lingering doubts about the controversy, but his bid was cut short due to meagre fundraising and an underwhelming performance in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.
The New Jersey governor's campaign may be best remembered for his rhetorical garrotting of fellow candidate Marco Rubio on a New Hampshire debate stage just days before that state's primary. At the time, Mr Rubio was riding a surge of support following a surprisingly close third-place finish in Iowa, and he appeared poised to go toe-to-toe with Mr Trump in the coming nomination contests. Instead his support cratered, and his campaign never fully recovered.
Despite his own campaign collapse, Mr Christie wasn't finished, as he shocked the political world in late February when he became the first major party officeholder to endorse Mr Trump.
The New Yorker, the governor said, "is rewriting the playbook of American politics because he is providing strong leadership that is not dependent upon the status quo".
In the coming weeks, however, Mr Christie would become the butt of jokes for standing wide-eyed and unblinking behind his new political ally at campaign appearances. He'd also occasionally be the target of Mr Trump's caustic humour, such as when he joked about Mr Christie's weight or that the governor had spent more time in New Hampshire than in his home state.
Mr Christie did make Mr Trump's vice-presidential short list - and may have been the nominee's personal favourite, given his pugnacious style.
In the end, however, Mr Trump went with Indiana Governor Mike Pence - leaving Mr Christie to speculate that the Bridgegate scandal may have diminished his chances here, as well.
Now, his fortunes rest entirely on Mr Trump's political success. If the Republican wins, he will be in charge of the transition process and may end up with a plum position in the new administration. If he loses, Mr Christie's reputation among establishment Republicans will be in tatters in the final year of his governorship.
Despite the bad news on Monday, Mr Trump is still sticking with his loyal ally, issuing a statement that did not specifically mention the lastest Bridgegate developments.
"I have known and liked Chris for 15 years," Mr. Trump said. "After his recent run for president, he called me to say that he would like to endorse me in that he sees a movement like he has never seen before. I was greatly honoured, accepted his endorsement, and he has been a spectacular advocate ever since."
What may be the New Jersey governor's final star turn came at the Republican National Convention in July, when he gave a blistering denunciation of Hillary Clinton during a prime-time speech. In it, the former federal prosecutor pretended to preside over the trial of the Democratic nominee, leading the convention crowd in cries of "guilty!"
Now, in a real courtroom with real prosecutors, Mr Christie's political career is effectively on trial. And whether the defendants are found guilty or not, the punishment for the New Jersey governor has already been severe.


National League side Southport earned an FA Cup first-round replay at Fleetwood after holding the League One club to a goalless draw on Merseyside.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Fleetwood's Jimmy Ryan came closest to breaking the deadlock but home keeper Magnus Norman tipped his second-half free-kick on to the crossbar.
Southport failed to seriously trouble the visitors' defence, with most of their efforts coming from long range.
Norman had to react quickly to deny Devante Cole a winner in stoppage time.
Fleetwood's Bobby Grant shot wide on the half-hour mark but Uwe Rosler's side could not find a way past on-loan Fulham stopper Norman in the second period.
At the other end, Town keeper Chris Neal was forced to palm away James Caton's shot from just outside the area.
After play was briefly halted when a smoke bomb and a flare were thrown onto the pitch by Southport fans, Fleetwood's best chances came during six minutes of second-half injury time.
First Norman smothered Cole's low shot then Cian Bolger sent a powerful header narrowly wide after losing his marker at a corner.
The winners of next week's replay at Highbury will travel to League One strugglers Shrewsbury in the second round.

HP's discontinued tablet computer, the Touchpad, has briefly become the UK's most wanted gadget.

Many retailers have slashed prices on the device - some as low as £89 - after the company announced it would stop producing them.
The Touchpad was launched less than two months ago, with models starting at £399.
HP has said it is looking at ways to continue development apps for its WebOS platform which the Touchpad runs.
Online retailer Dabs.com sold its stock of 500 Touchpads in just 15 minutes.
Dixons retail, which owns PC World, Currys and Dixons.com, described demand as "unprecedented".
Similar discounts began to appear in the United States over the weekend.
It is understood that HP contacted UK retailers on Monday evening to notify them of a drastic reduction in the wholesale price.
However, some sellers were clearly hoping to make a higher margin.
On Tuesday afternoon, resellers on Amazon.co.uk were selling the 16GB model for £250, with the 32GB model priced at £279.
Tesco direct was selling the 16GB model at £349.
Despite the fire sale prices, it is unclear how much support Touchpad users will receive in future.
HP has promised to honour product warranties. It also suggested that the operating system will receive some ongoing attention.
In a statement, the company said: "We expect that HP TouchPad owners can look forward to an over-the-air update that will enhance the platform and add functionality and a growing applications catalogue."
However, it seems unlikely that there will be much incentive for developers to continue creating applications for WebOS, given the limited number of devices that run it, and the fact that no more are likely to appear.
Some hardware hackers are already competing to be the first to put Google's Android operating system on the Touchpad.


A long list of world leaders will attend the funeral of former Israeli prime minister and president Shimon Peres, who died on Wednesday at 93.

Some of the world's most powerful figures will be at the service in Jerusalem on Friday, including US President Barack Obama.
Mr Peres's condition had deteriorated after suffering a stroke two weeks ago.
He was one of the last of a generation of Israeli politicians present at the nation's birth in 1948.
Mr Peres won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 for his role negotiating the Oslo peace accords with the Palestinians a year earlier, a prize he shared with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
The agreement was witnessed by former US President Bill Clinton and signed at the White House. On Wednesday Mr Clinton said on Twitter:
"I will miss Shimon Peres, my brilliant and eloquent friend. His life was a blessing to all who strive for peace..."
Other world leaders set to attend the funeral on Friday include UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Mr Peres will receive a state burial at a ceremony on Friday at Mount Herzel Cemetery in Jerusalem.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas sent a letter of condolence to Mr Peres' family "expressing his sorrow and sadness".
"Peres was a partner in creating the peace of the brave with the late President Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Rabin, and has made intensive efforts to reach a long-lasting peace since the Oslo agreement and until the last breath," he said in a statement.
It is not clear if Mr Abbas will attend the funeral.
However, some Palestinians and others across the Middle East were not mourning his passing. Abdul Rahman Daireyeh, a resident in Ramallah, told the BBC:
"He [Peres] is a war criminal who has killed hundreds of Palestinians. He was never a man of peace. Towards the end of his life, he appeared as a man of peace but he was never that person, as he killed hundreds."
The militant Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, said that Mr Peres's death was the "end of the history of occupation".
Mr Peres once said the Palestinians were Israel's "closest neighbours" and might become its "closest friends".
His son, Chemi, said of his father: "He served our people before we even had a country of our own. He worked tirelessly for Israel from the very first day of the state to the last day of his life."
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his "deep sorrow" over Mr Peres' death in a video statement.
"As a man of peace, he worked until his final days toward reconciling with our neighbours for a better future for our children.''
Once an advocate of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, Mr Peres later became a leading political dove. He often spoke of the need for compromise over territorial demands in Palestinian areas.


Protesters across the US have marched against police killings following two high-profile cases of white officers killing black men.

Hundreds of demonstrators briefly shut down a meeting in San Francisco City Hall on Tuesday.
Marchers in New York stopped traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge and there were scattered arrests in smaller cities.
Meanwhile, a new dashcam video of an officer hitting an armed suspect with a vehicle in Arizona became public.
Mario Valencia, 36, who was being pursued by police for multiple robberies and assaulting an officer, survived the collision.
The protests across the US on Tuesday came after two cases of unarmed black men killed by law enforcement in a week.
Walter Scott, a 50-year-old, was shot in the back and killed in South Carolina.
Eric Harris, 44, was shot and killed when a 73-year-old reserve deputy said he accidently drew his gun instead of a Taser.
There have been demonstrations about police use of excessive force, ever since a black unarmed teenager was shot dead in Ferguson, Missouri, last summer.
Among the cities where Tuesday's protests were held were Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Birmingham and Cleveland, where 12-year-old Tamir Rice was killed by police.
Marchers in Cleveland held signs reading "Stop Murder By Police", according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Dozens of people were arrested in New York following an otherwise peaceful protest where hundreds of protests marched  from a rally in Union Square to police headquarters.
Many of the arrests came after marchers briefly stopped traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge.
In San Francisco, some of the demonstrators were teenagers who had walked out of school in protest.
"We see it in other states, but how long until we see it here again?" Jose Ramos, 17, told the San Francisco Chronicle. "How long until it's one of our family members?"
Protesters marched into City Hall, chanting "no justice, no peace, no racist police", according to local media.
The city's legislative members then adjourned their weekly meeting.
Other protesters were arrested in nearby Oakland when they attempted to shut down a ramp onto a motorway.
In Madison, Wisconsin, four people were arrested when dozens of students blocked one of the city's busiest streets for hours in protests about the killing of Tony Robinson.
Prosecutors are still considering whether to charge the police officer in the case.
On Tuesday, Chicago announced it would pay $5.5m (Â£3.7m) in damage for city residents, mostly black, who were tortured by a police commander from the late 1970s to the early 90s.
Jon Burge used electrical shocks and mock executions to get suspects to falsely confess. Victims were unable to sue because the statue of limitations had run out.

A British woman who spent a week helping refugees on the Greek island of Kos says she saw people reduced to "eating scraps off the street".

Rachel Miller, 39, of Nottingham decided to volunteer after hearing about the refugee crisis in the news.
"We fed at least 500 people a day with food and water and gave out shoes," she said.
The former social worker, who is married to a Turkish man, said she will return for two weeks in October.
Thousands of refugees have arrived on Kos in recent months after crossing from neighbouring Turkey in small boats.
The majority of those in Kos are fleeing conflict in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan and many are sleeping in the streets, in tents or abandoned buildings.
Ms Miller said she heard about the refugee crisis and "couldn't face going on holiday when people are starving".
"It was horrific - I saw men eating scraps of food off the floor and the road. They are eating food left on the street for cats - it is heart wrenching," she said.
She described how one young boy from Afghanistan was being held in jail with his father who had been arrested for having forged documents, but she helped to get them both released.
Another nine-year-old boy who was injured in a car bomb attack in Afghanistan was living on the beach with his parents, she said.
Most of the refugees want to go to Germany and not the UK, she said adding that "they don't care where they go, they just want to be safe."
"My husband stayed in the UK to look after our children and I went with some money to spend on the refugees."
She said she helped rescue one three-month old girl and her parents who arrived on the beach at Kos in a dinghy.
"I was holding a 3-month old girl who almost drowned - but luckily some refugees on the beach came to help her and her family."
She said she was not surprised to hear about Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy pictured drowned on a Turkish beach, as "the dinghies are full of water and in the back of your mind you know something like that is going to happen."
She said she is getting some support for her work from donations from an online fund-raising site.


Belfast flyweight Brendan Irvine missed out on Olympic qualification as he was beaten in Turkey on Friday although he will have another chance to book his spot in Rio on Saturday.

Irvine, 19, was beaten by Armenia's Narek Abgaryan in the semi-finals of the European Olympic qualifying event.
However with three Rio spots available, Irvine has another chance on Saturday.
Irish lightweight David Oliver Joyce lost a tight verdict against Britain's Joe Cordina in his semi-final.
Irvine forced Abgaryan to take a late standing count in the closing seconds of their flyweight semi-final but the Armenian took a deserved unanimous verdict in Samsun.
The Belfast man, a silver medallist at last year's inaugural European Games, will secure a Rio berth if he defeats Bulgaria's Daniel Asenov in a box-off on Saturday.
Asenov was outpointed by Britain's Muhammad Ali in Friday's other flyweight semi-final.
St Paul's club-man Irvine produced a clever left-right combination early on but the busy Armenian hit back with a number of decent shots to taken the first round on all three judges' cards.
Abgaryan dominated the second session with one big right hand, in particular, rocking back Irvine on his heels.
Trailing 20-18 on all three cards heading into the final round, Irvine bravely attempted to turn around the contest but the Armenian stayed out of range for the most part.
Abgaryan appeared to think that the bell had already sounded as he dropped his hands with 10 seconds remaining, as a barrage of Irvine blows led to a standing count for the Armenian.
But Abgaryan had already done enough to get the verdict.
Irish lightweight Joyce looked decidedly unhappy after the three judges all gave Britain's Cordina a 29-28 verdict in their semi-final.
Cordina did look to have shaded the first round but Joyce appeared to have conclusively won the second session, only for two of the judges to give the Britain a 10-9 verdict.
That left the European champion in control of the bout heading into the final round and although Joyce was given the last session by two of the judges, the Irishman was never going to be able to peg back the deficit.
To increase Joyce's sense of grievance, the judge that had scored the fight level after two rounds gave the final session to the Welshman which meant a unanimous verdict.


A 19-day-old boy died after being given four times the solution needed to stop his heart during surgery, a coroner has ruled.

Zack Hider, from Portsmouth, was born with a congenital heart defect.
A "mistake" was made during the heart operation at Southampton General Hospital on 11 November last year, the inquest in Winchester was told.
Zack's parents said they did not blame any individual but hoped lessons were learned to prevent similar mistakes.
Recording a narrative verdict, coroner Graham Short said pressure from the excess dose of the heart-stopping solution had been the primary cause of death.
Moments after the mixture of blood and chemicals was injected, Zack's heart turned "stiff" and looked "bruised", surgeon Michael Kaarme told the inquest.
"I didn't know what was happening," he said, adding, "I didn't have any experience like this."
The man operating the machinery that controlled the solution, perfusionist Richard Hartshorne, did not appear in court.
In a statement, he said it had not been made clear a procedure requiring the heart to be stopped was being carried out, until part way through the operation.
An inquiry found Zack had been given a dose of the solution for a much larger child, like the previous patient in the theatre.
Mr Short said: "The volume was not adjusted prior to delivery for reasons that I've not been able to fully establish."
He said even when the operation was abandoned, Zack's heart could not be started and he died in hospital nine days later.
"By that time, the damage had been done," he said.
In a statement, Zack's parents, Gary and Sarah Hider, said they "did not blame any individual but only hope lessons are learned to make sure similar mistakes are not made in future."
Neil Pearce, associate medical director for patient safety at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We accept full responsibility for the incident and have apologised unreservedly for it.
"The error made was very rare and led to a severe reaction in Zack's heart muscle which took away his chance of surviving the complex surgery he was due to undergo."
He said an "immediate investigation" had led to the introduction of a number of "important new safety measures" which he added had subsequently been shared with all paediatric cardiac centres in the UK "to try to eliminate the risk of a similar incident occurring again".


The media in the Middle East have commented extensively on the Israeli-Hezbollah exchange of fire on the Lebanese border.

Pro-Hezbollah media portray it as revenge for what is assumed to be Israel's attack on Hezbollah and Iranian forces on the Golan Heights earlier this month, and promise further retaliation.
Many Arab papers fear that Hezbollah is dragging the already-troubled region into another major conflict, and Israeli commentators debate the wisdom of their government's actions.
Headlines in the London Arab newspapers express concern.
Al-Arab al-Alamiyah complains that "Hezbollah is putting Lebanon in the circle of danger", and Saudi-owned Al-Sharq al-Awsat accuses the Shia militia of "opening a front in the Shebaa farms".
Arab nationalist Al-Quds al-Arabi, which is often sympathetic to Hezbollah, also highlights the "escalation of tension" in Lebanon.
In the Middle East, Saudi Al-Watan warns that "dragging Lebanon into a new war" would benefit only Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's March general election.
Umar Hilmi al-Ghul echoes this in the Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Hayat al-Jadida, saying Hezbollah's attack "will increase tension that Netanyahu will try to use to boost his flagging ratings".
Alyas Bajani in Kuwait's Al-Siyassah reflects Sunni Arab apprehension at the growing influence of Hezbollah, denouncing it as a "terrorist and sectarian party occupying Lebanon", and accusing it and its Iranian mentors of being "enemies of peace, freedom, human rights and Lebanon".
Other commentators disagree, saying Hezbollah and Iran have now "saved face" and will not escalate the conflict.
Ali Hamadah in Lebanon's anti-Hezbollah Al-Nahar says Iran responded to the Israeli attack "in a very calculated, controlled manner...  and, barring any surprises, the situation in southern Lebanon will not develop further".
Urayb al-Rintawi in Jordan's Al-Dustur agrees that Hezbollah is satisfied with putting its Lebanese rivals and Israel in an "embarrassing position", and will stick to a response of "above zero, but below a new war".
Pro-Hezbollah media are jubilant, with Lebanon's Al-Diyar hailing the "resistance heroes who raise Arab heads high".
The Syrian official papers Al-Thawrah and Al-Watan echo this, saying a "subdued" Israel was reduced to a "state of panic".
In Gaza, the Hamas website Filastin Online says both Hamas and its Islamic Jihad ally "bless Hezbollah's operation", prompting Iranian radio to imagine a "joint resistance front against the Zionist regime".
Iran's state TV  and hardline press dub the Hezbollah attacks a "stunning blitzkrieg", and claim that Israel is concealing a higher number of casualties from the public.
Pro-reform newspapers in Iran are more cautious, relegating the story to their foreign pages. Sharq captions its report "Fear of war".
The story dominates the front pages in Israel, with some commentators unsure of the government's overall strategy towards Hezbollah and Iran.
Nahum Barnea in Yediot Aharonot questions the wisdom of attacking Iran over the Golan Heights ceasefire line in the first place.
"Who did we deter, and who did we scare other than thousands of Israelis living in the north?" he asks, wondering whether it would be preferable to sit opposite Hezbollah "rather than mad organisations affiliated with al-Qaeda".
Alex Fishman in the same paper fears that Israel is reversing its policy of staying out of post-Arab Spring conflicts, and complains that attacking Iran in broad daylight "simply forces the other side to respond, and destroys our own power to deter".
Zvi Barel in liberal Haaretz agrees that attacking Iran and Hezbollah while leaving their Syrian rebel enemies alone was bound to make the Shia allies regard this as "intervention in their 'internal affairs' by granting the rebels Israeli backing".
Yoav Limor in pro-government Yisrael Hayom says neither side wants escalation, but thinks it "doubtful that Hezbollah has been deterred from acting again".
His stablemate Dan Margalit says Hezbollah's response has been "measured", and advises the government to resist electoral pressure to escalate the conflict:
"If the choice is between deterrence and prestige and restoring the situation to what it used to be, it is right to choose calm on the northern border".

NHS Highland has launched a new campaign to tackle loneliness and social isolation in the Highlands and Argyll.

Called Reach Out, it includes encouraging people to offer support to those around them, whatever their age, who may be lonely.
People can also show that they want to tackle loneliness by displaying "pledges" to do so on social media.
The health board said loneliness was a potential risk to health.
Reach Out will run this year and next year.
NHS Highland's area covers the Highlands and Argyll.


Sniffer dogs from north Wales are being flown to the east African country of Tanzania to help catch smugglers.

The dogs will help authorities detect ivory, weapons, ammunition and animal products including elephant and buffalo meat.
They will be placed under the care of Tanzania National Parks.
The dogs belong to Flintshire-based Wagtail UK, which was awarded the contract, along with Conservation Dogs, by the Wildlife Conservation Society.


A firm planning a multimillion-pound tidal lagoon in Swansea Bay says it would generate electricity equivalent to the city's entire domestic needs.

Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay Ltd wants to design, construct and operate the lagoon to generate renewable energy.
It would be designed to generate 400,000 MWh of renewable energy per year - enough to supply more than 100,000 homes, it is claimed.
The firm hopes to submit a planning application for the scheme next year.
In a 116-page report to the UK's planning inspectorate, National Infrastructure Planning, it outlines how the lagoon would work and the impact on the environment.
The proposed lagoon, which would take about two years to build, would comprise an impounding "breakwater or seawall" of about 9.5km (5.9 miles) in length.
It would hold on to water and then let it out through turbines at both high and low tides which would generate electricity.
At low tide, water would flow from the lagoon into the sea, and from the sea into the lagoon at high tide.
"The proposed tidal lagoon will have an installed capacity of 250-350MW, capable of generating over 400,000MWh/year," the report said.
"This is enough to supply well over 100,000 homes, or the equivalent to Swansea city's domestic electricity use."
It said the area broadly encompassed the coast between Mumbles Head in Swansea and Port Talbot.
"The location of the lagoon has been chosen to use shallower water depths, thereby minimising the overall height of the seawalls and the materials required for construction," it added.
"These suitable shallower waters are between the dredged navigation channels for Swansea and Neath ports, which is away from Swansea Bay's designated bathing beaches."
There are also plans for an offshore visitor centre.
Plans for tidal power in Swansea Bay were first mooted in 2003 when a charity wanted to harness the tides to provide electricity for up to 10,000 homes.
In 2006, a firm called Tidal Electric Ltd put forward proposals to take the project on, but that has since been put on hold.
Now Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay believes it can bring the project to reality.
It added: "In 2006, a scoping report was prepared by Tidal Electric Ltd (TEL) for an earlier lagoon project at the same general location.
"The 2006 report had a limited circulation among key stakeholders before that project was put on hold.
"Although similar to the 2006 scoping report, this document incorporates feedback to the earlier project, responds to design reviews, incorporates additional consultation responses and provides updated and more extensive baseline information on which to base an on-going, comprehensive consultation process."
Should the proposals go ahead, it is estimated the lifespan of the lagoon would be 100 years.
Swansea council leader David Phillips believes the lagoon is something that needs considering and will eventually go ahead.
"We've got to find a way of generating power," he said.
"We've got the biggest tidal reach in Europe here and we have it twice a day.
"When the proposal comes forward and the planning application comes out, we will need to look at it and see what the impact will be and what the benefits are."


Scott Sinclair says he was encouraged to sign for Celtic by former Parkhead midfielder Stiliyan Petrov.

The 27-year-old also says that working with manager Brendan Rodgers for the third time influenced his decision to leave Aston Villa for Scotland.
Following his £3.5m move, Sinclair hopes to rejuvenate his career.
"[Petrov] told me about the atmosphere and the fans. He thought it would be great for me, to get my football back on track," said Sinclair.
"You saw it when I came on and sprinted from my half to get onto the ball. That's what I want to bring, the excitement back for playing.
"It's been a massive impact from the manager in my choice of coming here. I played under him at Swansea, that was my best football, which led me on to sign for Manchester City.
"He lets me go and express myself. I worked with him at 16 at Chelsea. He thought it was best for me to move out wide, because I came as a striker. He thought that was the quickest route to play in the Chelsea first-team, which it was.
"Over the last two or three years, the football hasn't been great for me and I just wanted to be at a club, enjoy it and playing under a manager who knows me and gives me the confidence to play freely.

"Because I've known him for so long, he was saying 'get your football back on track, enjoy it, play games', and at this stage in my career, that's the best option for me. With Celtic being a massive club, it was a no-brainer."
Sinclair made an immediate impact on his debut, scoring the winning goal against Hearts on Sunday. He only arrived in Glasgow for a medical 24 hours before the game at Tynecastle.
Celtic is the 14th club of his career and the former Manchester City and Chelsea winger wants a period of stability after signing a four-year deal.
He hopes that "scoring goals, my trickery, my speed" will endear him to the Celtic support.
"I've been at numerous clubs. It's all down to stability, if you look back at how many managers I had at Villa," Sinclair said.
"Managers have different opinions on players. With the manager here, he knows what I bring and I know what to expect from him, and that's why it was my choice. He led me to this club and I just want to enjoy my football again.
"When you haven't got much confidence and you're in and out of the team, you're not at your best. I kept digging in and I kept going to the gym and doing extra. It's broken through now, I'm happy to be here and I can't wait to kick on.
"The fans were unbelievable. You saw my celebration, running to them, and I want that bond with the fans.
"At some clubs I've not had that, because I've been on loan here, there and everywhere and you're not really a stable player for the team. I'm here for four years and I want to show the fans excitement and make a massive impact."


Great Britain's women will play for bronze after missing out on the hockey gold medal match with a 2-1 loss to Argentina at the Riverbank Arena.

Media playback is not supported on this device
World champions Argentina went ahead through a penalty corner in the sixth minute and Carla Rebecchi got the crucial second just before the break.
Alex Danson got one back on 65 minutes but there was not enough time to break down a strong defence again.
Argentina will play reigning champions the Netherlands in the final on Friday.
The Dutch earlier beat New Zealand in a penalty shoot-out after a dramatic match ended 2-2 in normal time.
"Great Britain will be so disappointed. In this situation, if you can come off the pitch knowing that you gave absolutely everything and you just weren't good enough then you can take some kind of comfort in that. 2-0 down against the number two team in the world? It's a tough ask to come back and win it.
"GB gave it absolutely everything in the second half but they just weren't getting it into the Argentine circle and causing problems."
Britain will have to console themselves with a bronze medal match against New Zealand and the opportunity to match the team of Barcelona 20 years ago.
"I thought we were the dominant side in the second half," said GB coach Danny Kerry.
"The reason for not winning was the half-chances, not converting the opportunity, but I couldn't have asked any more from the girls. I felt Argentina were really just defending, not offering much other than that, but they did that well."
Argentina repeated the formula of rock-solid defence and clinical finishing which won them the Champions Trophy final on home soil against Great Britain in January.
They got off to the perfect start with their first attack when Noel Barrionuevo coolly converted a penalty corner.
From that moment on, the task was considerable for Great Britain. They had much of the possession without creating a real shooting opportunity until Danson attempted an ambitious reverse-stick finish on the half hour.
Rebecchi then made them pay when she linked up with Luciana Aymar's surging run down the left and forced the ball into the goal despite a strong challenge from two British defenders and keeper Beth Storry.
The second half was a more positive affair, with Crista Cullen getting an early penalty corner, but it was charged down by Macarena Rodriguez Perez.
Helen Richardson had the clearest chance in open play on 55 minutes when the ball fell to her in space in the 'D', but she snatched at her shot.
With hope fading both on the pitch and in the stands, Danson then gave the whole match a bolt of energy.
She dived forward to convert a fizzing Richardson cross and set up a frantic last five minutes, but the Argentines stood firm to book their place in the final.


Jim Fleeting and Donald Park have been appointed to new coaching roles by Scottish FA performance director Malky Mackay.

Fleeting will become director of coaching, overseeing coach education, while Park has been named head of coaching and will work closely with Scotland national youth team coaches.
The appointments mark the next stage of the SFA's Project Brave.
It aims to improve and increase the development of elite players.
Former Ayr United defender Fleeting, 61, will move from his current post as director of football development and act as a coaching figurehead for Scotland's seven regional performance schools.
Former Hearts midfielder Park, 63, who has coached at Hibernian, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Hearts, will provide coaching support and mentorship to accredited academies.
As part of the changes, Andrew Gould will succeed Fleeting by becoming head of football development, overseeing the grassroots football programmes, following 10 years as head of regional development.
Mackay said: "Jim and Donald are two highly respected and experienced coaches and these new roles will greatly enhance our coaching programme at all levels.
"Our coach education programme is among the most highly-regarded in Europe, but these changes will allow us to provide greater focus in education and mentoring at all levels of the game.
"The roles will not only provide our own national youth teams and performance school coaches with better support, but the clubs, and the coaches working within the clubs, will also benefit greatly.
"These are important changes that will support the development of our coaches and ultimately serve to help us produce better players for the Scotland national team."


Irish police have arrested a man in his 30s in connection with the murder of Londonderry man Andrew Allen.

The father of two was killed in his home in Buncrana, County Donegal, in February 2012.
Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD) admitted responsibility for the murder. Mr Allen's family have always denied claims he was a drug dealer.
The suspect was arrested on Tuesday and is being held at Buncrana Garda Station. Investigations are continuing.


The parties have been reacting to Thursday's TV election debate, in which Conservative leader David Cameron, Labour's Ed Miliband, Lib Dem Nick Clegg, UKIP's Nigel Farage, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood and the Green Party's Natalie Bennett clashed for two hours before a live audience.

The polls suggest there was no clear winner but here is what the parties have been saying.
The Conservatives
"David Cameron was in control from beginning to end. We settled the debate on who would make the best prime minister for Britain."  Chancellor George Osborne
"I think David Cameron was composed and in control, the strong prime minister that people over the last five years have got used to being in charge.
"I think some of the other participants were quite feisty and scrappy, but the overall impression people will have got is if you want to look at that group of seven people and say 'who is the best person to lead the country over the next five years?', David will have come out clearly ahead." Chief Whip Michael Gove
Labour
"Ed Miliband set out a compelling case that Britain can be better than this and that Britain succeeds when working people succeed."  Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander
"Only 2 people could be PM after May 7 and of those two Ed Miliband beat David Cameron At least Ed knows why he wants the job. DC not on it" tweetedLabour strategist and blogger Alastair Campbell
UKIP
"It was a resounding success for Nigel Farage and UKIP because he was straight-talking, honest and set out commonsense policies for leading Britain and putting Britain's interests first."  Immigration spokesman Steven Woolfe
Liberal Democrats
"I think what Nick Clegg did, and what he did brilliantly, was lay the foundation for us to begin to make the argument. What he had to do was lay out his vision for the country, expose the failures of the Labour and Tory propositions - he did that pretty flawlessly.
"He was the only person who put David Cameron and Ed Miliband seriously on the back foot, and he took on Nigel Farage."  Campaign co-ordinator Lord Ashdown
SNP
"The fact that Nicola Sturgeon won on an average of polls conducted across the UK shows just how strong and persuasive she was." Deputy leader Stewart Hosie
The Green Party of England and Wales
"There is a divide in British politics. There is what I consider to be the right-wing stale politics of the old Westminster politics that want to continue the focus on austerity and want to demonise some of the poorest and most vulnerable in society. Contrast that with the parties represented by women last night who want a human economy - with people at the centre of what it does." Maggie Chapman, co-convenor of the Scottish Green Party
Plaid Cymru
"Leaders debate show Labour are right. The election is a straight choice in Wales - between Plaid Cymru and the Westminster establishment." tweeted Jonathan Edwards, Plaid Cymru spokesman


Two Conservative AMs have failed to win automatic re-selection as regional candidates for south east Wales in the 2016 assembly election.

William Graham and Mohammad Asghar will have to enter an open list to compete against other hopefuls.
Mr Graham, an AM since 1999, told BBC Wales: "The process is ongoing.  It's all under discussion."
Mr Asghar said he was "not disappointed", but declined to comment further.
Mr Graham is the Welsh Tories' Shadow Economy Minister and a former whip who chairs the enterprise and business committee.
Mr Asghar was elected as a Plaid Cymru AM in 2007, and defected to the Tories in 2009.
The decision was taken at a regional board meeting on Wednesday night.
Twenty of the 60 assembly members are elected on the basis of regional lists which offer a form of proportional representation, with four seats available in each of five regions.
This is a blow to William Graham and Mohammad Asghar, who now find themselves in a battle to become the top candidates on the regional list in south east Wales.
The local board clearly wants to give others the chance, and the two AMs will be in the mix with a range of other candidates at a hustings attended by the wider local membership, and not just the board.
Whatever the overall result next May, there will be major changes in personnel at the Senedd, particularly in Labour ranks with so many of its AMs not standing.
It will be interesting to see if there will be significant changes among Tory ranks as well.


A mother already serving a jail term for killing her daughter has been jailed for murdering her baby son, after confessing to the crime in jail.

Harley Dunford was found dead in his cot at their East Sussex home in 2003, the Old Bailey heard.
Lesley Dunford, 37, formerly of Windermere Close, Exeter, pleaded guilty to his murder in March after changing her plea twice.
She was jailed for seven years in 2012 for killing Lucy, aged three, in 2004.
Dunford was jailed for life, with a minimum term of 13 years, for murdering seven-month-old Harley at the house in Camber, on 27 August 2003, six months before Lucy's death.
While serving her sentence for the killing of Lucy, she admitted involvement in both deaths to prison staff, saying she was "riddled with guilt".
She told officers that she had been having "flashbacks and nightmares" about what she had done.
In her confession, she wrote: "Something clicked in my head and I went back into the room walked over to his cot and pushed his face into the mattress until he stopped breathing.
"And then I put his head to the side and noticed there was blood and foam coming out of his nose. That's when I knew I had hurt him and I don't know why I had done it."
Jailing Dunford, Mr Justice Baker said: "The reality is, had you not confessed to killing Harley whilst in custody, it is highly likely there would not have been a police investigation into his death and you would not have faced prosecution for murder."
No inquest was held into Harley's death at the time as he was believed to have died from natural causes.
In a statement following the sentencing, Dunford's husband Wayne said he "forgives her".
But he said: "This has been a very difficult time for myself. Lesley lied to me about what had happened with the children.
"She was very good at this and I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to family and friends for this deceit that lasted for a decade."
The jury at her first trial was told Dunford had epilepsy but had not been diagnosed with psychiatric or autism problems.
After she was convicted of the three-year-old's manslaughter, Sussex Police said Harley's death was fully investigated at the time and there were no plans to re-open the case.
But, detectives started a new investigation into how he died in June 2014, after Dunford wrote the confession in prison.
Sussex Police said specialists in paediatric pathology and forensic pathology reviewed Harley's death and concluded the evidence, alongside Dunford's verbal and written confessions, was "consistent with suffocation".
Senior Crown Prosecutor Libby Clark said Dunford showed "no remorse" by keeping "her silence over Harvey's death" for more than a decade.
"Lesley Dunford has lied for many years about what happened to her son, before finally confessing the truth.
"This was a terrible crime - her confession clearly stated that she deliberately suffocated her son."


Children who commit acts of harmful sexual behaviour should not be treated as "mini sex offenders", a report says.

A parliamentary inquiry, supported by charity Barnardo's, says they should be seen as children "first and foremost".
It also said children who sexually abuse other children have often suffered abuse and trauma themselves.
Barnardo's Javed Khan said treating children as mini sex offenders "prevents them being rehabilitated and living positive lives".
For its report, the inquiry used a description of harmful sexual behaviour as one where children and young people "engage in sexual discussions or activities that are inappropriate for their age or stage of development, often with other individuals who they have power over by virtue of age, emotional maturity, gender, physical strength, or intellect and where the victim in this relationship has suffered a betrayal of trust".
This behaviour could range from using explicit words and phrases to sex with other children or adults.
There is no definitive data on the scale of the issue of harmful sexual behaviour by children.
However, a Freedom of Information request revealed that more than 4,200 under-18s were reported as perpetrators of sexual offences in England and Wales in 2013-14.
The report contains several case studies, including the following:
"I am a 20-year-old man who was arrested at 15 for a serious sexual assault of two girls under eight years old. They lived near me.
"When I was young I was heavily beaten and sexually abused.
"When I was nine months old I was admitted to hospital with broken ribs, a broken arm and a broken leg.
"My sexual abuse lasted nine-and-a-half years and was... horrible to live with for that long - as you can probably imagine."
The inquiry's report said that in some cases, children "make mistakes as they start to understand their sexuality and experiment with it".
It added: "These children are unlikely to pose further risk to the public, given appropriate support, but unnecessarily criminalising or stigmatising them as a 'sex offender' at such a young age makes it more likely that they will struggle to regain a normal life, and increases their propensity to re-offend."
It also said that while public protection should always remain the "primary driver" when dealing with cases, young offenders should be "treated as children first and offenders second".
Mr Khan, who is Barnardo's chief executive, said: "We must remember that many children who show harmful sexual behaviour have experienced or witnessed physical, emotional or sexual abuse as well as neglect and can be extremely vulnerable.
"In some cases a criminal justice response may be necessary, but we have to find a much better way to stop children abusing themselves and each other."
Conservative MP Nusrat Ghani, who chaired the inquiry, said: "In this smartphone age, parents must also play a vigilant role in protecting their children from harmful sexual behaviour and from harmful sexual images that cause damage they are too young to understand."
The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), which was involved in writing the report, welcomed its findings and called for a "national strategy on harmful sexual behaviour in children".
James Bowen, of the union, said: "High-quality, funded training must be made available to teachers to develop their knowledge, understanding and confidence in teaching pupils about these issues.
"Child protection training for all school staff needs to be developed to include recognising, and dealing with, concerning and harmful sexual behaviours."


A renovated barn belonging to Carmarthenshire council's leader has been saved from possible demolition.

Councillor Emlyn Dole's wife, Gwenda Owen, received permission to partially convert barns in Pontyberem last year.
But an investigation by planning officers found "substantial demolition of the original building".
Planning committee members voted nine to eight in favour of granting retrospective permission after visiting the site on Tuesday.


More than 50 firearms have been handed in to Humberside Police during a two-week gun amnesty.

The 56 weapons include shotguns, rifles, handguns and pistols along with rounds of ammunition. Several replica and BB guns were also received.
The amnesty was prompted by a change in the law in July, when the maximum penalty for possession increased from 10 years' imprisonment to life.
The force said: "Our streets are safer now as a result of this initiative."


Two pharmaceutical firms have been accused of pushing up the price of a "lifesaving" NHS drug by striking a deal not to compete with each other.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said in provisional findings that Actavis and Concordia fixed the market for hydrocortisone tablets.
The drug is used to treat conditions caused by hormone deficiencies.
Canadian firm Concordia said it did not think it was in breach of competition law.
The CMA said that a pack of the tablets almost doubled in price for the NHS to £88 while the deal was in place.
It is the latest case where the regulator has accused drug makers of overcharging the health service.
"Anti-competitive agreements can cost the NHS, and ultimately the taxpayer, by stopping competition bringing down the cost of lifesaving drugs like hydrocortisone tablets," said Andrew Groves of the CMA.
"We allege these agreements were intended to keep Actavis UK as the sole supplier of a drug relied on by thousands of patients - and in a position which could allow it to dictate and prolong high prices."
However, Mr Groves added that the findings were provisional and that the regulator would consider any arguments from the companies before deciding "if the law has been infringed".
Hydrocortisone tablets are used by patients whose adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones and in many cases helps them to live an active life. One of its main uses is to treat the life-threatening Addison's disease.
The CMA accused the firms of agreeing between January 2013 and June 2016 that Concordia would not launch its own version of the drug, leaving Actavis as the sole supplier to the NHS for much of that time.
Pharmaceutical firm Teva confirmed Actavis UK was the subject of "allegations of anti-competitive conduct" from the CMA. The company declined to comment further.
Concordia, formerly known as Amdipharm, said it believed the drug maker was "not in breach of competition law".
The Canadian firm added that it was co-operating fully with the investigation and would "respond in detail" to the allegations.
The regulator accused Actavis in December of raising the price for 10mg hydrocortisone tablets by 12,000% in eight years, from 70p to £88.
Earlier that month, Pfizer and Flynn Pharma were fined nearly £90m for raising the price of an anti-epilepsy treatment, although both firms said they would appeal.


Former CIA agent Evan McMullin has launched an independent campaign for the White House with support from members of the Never Trump movement.

Mr McMullin, the former chief policy director of the House Republican Conference, is expected to formally file his candidacy on Monday.
He is likely to face challenges on ballot deadlines and fundraising just three months before Election Day.
The 40-year-old Mormon has never held elected office.
Mr McMullin, an outspoken critic of the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, released a statement to ABC News.
"It's never too late to do the right thing, and America deserves much better than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton can offer us. I humbly offer myself as a leader who can give millions of disaffected Americans a conservative choice for President," Mr McMullin said.
The little-known, unmarried conservative worked for the CIA for 11 years before leaving the agency in 2010.
He later went to work for Goldman Sachs and became a senior adviser on national security for the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in 2013.
Mr McMullin resigned from his position at the House Republican Conference on Monday, US media reported.
The Utah native graduated from Brigham Young University and earned a master's of business administration from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, according to his LinkedIn page.
He had just 135 Twitter follows when his pending candidacy was first announced and gained more than 12,000 within hours.
Mr McMullin has voiced his opposition to Mr Trump on social media, calling him an "authoritarian" and denouncing the Republican nominee's attacks on the family of fallen Capt. Humayan Khan.
In a Facebook post, Mr McMullin condemned Mr Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric, saying "attacking them as a group makes America weaker, not stronger".
Mr McMullin joins third-party candidates Libertarian Party's Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein, who are also in the race for the White House.
Mr McMullin faces a series of hurdles over the next three months, having already missed the deadlines to get on the ballot in 26 states.
He will have to collect tens of thousands of signatures in the coming days to make the 10 August deadline for several more states.
But the Morman candidate will have time to appear on the ballot in his native Utah, where Mr Trump is deeply unpopular among the Mormon electorate.
Senator Ted Cruz overwhelmingly defeated Mr Trump in Utah during the primary election, taking 69% of the vote to 14%.
Though Mr McMullin is not likely to appear on majority of state ballots across the country, he could block Mr Trump from taking the historically red state of Utah and peel off some of the billionaire's conservative voters.
Mr McMullin will also have to chase millions of dollars in donations over the next few weeks in order to keep up with his opponents this fall.
The group Better for America, which was formed by Never Trump conservatives, had been reportedly searching for an independent presidential candidate to put up against the nominee.
The group has insisted key Republican donors would throw their support behind his candidacy, according to ABC News.
Prominent Republican operative Rick Wilson is expected to help run Mr McMullin's campaign.
Mr Wilson wrote about why Mr Trump needs to "suffer a humiliating defeat" in a New York Daily News op-ed on Sunday.
He wrote: "if there's a loss by a slim margin in the popular vote or electoral college, millions of already embittered Americans, worked into a frenzy by a shameless leader who will surely refuse to accept the returns, will start the next four years convinced that the United States of America is little more than a banana republic â€” and the presidency of Hillary Clinton is irretrievably illegitimate".
Florida-based pollster and operative Joel Searby is also thought to be working on the campaign.
Mr McMullin's candidacy comes after the Never Trump movement talked of launching campaigns for Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse and National Review writer David French earlier this year.


A former head master "obsessed with spanking" carried out sex attacks at a Norfolk school, a court has been told.

David Tuohy, 83, who now lives in Oxford, took charge of Eccles Hall, a special school, in the 1970s.
At Norwich Crown Court he denied 18 counts of indecent and serious sexual assaults on five boys with special needs aged as young as 10.
Prosecutor Andrew Shaw said Mr Tuohy was obsessed with spanking and lost interest in the boys as they got older.
"You may think from the evidence that he had a particular deviant sexual fascination with the bottoms of very young boys," Mr Shaw said.
Mr Tuohy taught at the boarding school for children who found life difficult in mainstream education and later became its head master.
The boys came from different parts of the UK and found themselves alone, isolated and separated from their families.
"As one of the people charged with the duty of caring for these children, he abused the trust placed in him and used these children for his own sexual gratification," Mr Shaw said.
"Many of the now-adult men who suffered abuse went on to have significant problems in their later lives."
All the alleged victims described being spanked by Mr Tuohy.
The attacks are alleged to have happened at the school, now known as the New Eccles Hall School, in Quidenham.
The trial continues.


A man has been charged with the murder of a bank worker who was reportedly killed with a single punch in south east London.

Trevor Timon, 31, of Plumstead, appeared at Bromley Magistrates' Court via video-link to face a charge of murder and common assault.
Oliver Dearlove, from Eltham, died in hospital after being hit while waiting for a taxi in Blackheath.
He was in Tranquil Vale with friends when he was attacked on Sunday.
The court heard the defendant has indicated a plea of not guilty on the basis that there was no intention to kill or cause serious harm or injury.
Mr Timon was remanded in custody for a bail hearing at the Old Bailey on Tuesday.
A post-mortem gave the provisional cause of Mr Dearlove's death as a head injury. He worked for Duncan Lawrie Private Bank.


The body that awards the Nobel Prize for Literature has said it has stopped trying to contact US singer Bob Dylan about being this year's honouree.

"Right now we are doing nothing," said Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy.
"I have called and sent emails to his closest collaborator and received very friendly replies. For now, that is certainly enough."
Dylan has yet to comment about winning the prestigious prize last week.
The 75-year-old performed in Las Vegas shortly after his win was announced but made no mention of the award.
It is not known whether the singer-songwriter will travel to Stockholm to receive his award in person on 10 December.
"If he doesn't want to come, he won't come," Danius told reporters. "It will be a big party in any case and the honour belongs to him."
Dylan is the first person to receive the award for songwriting and the first American to win since 1993.
The balladeer, artist and occasional actor was recognised "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".
A message recognising the honour was posted on Dylan's official Facebook page.

Ben Woollaston has no doubt he owes his steady climb up the world rankings to getting married.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Nor does his snooker referee wife Tatiana.
"I had never heard of him," she joked to BBC Sport. "When we met he was 70 or 80 in the world. I think it improved him a lot and has given him motivation. Maybe it inspired him.
"I am really proud of what he has achieved, I think family is really important for snooker players."
That initial meeting presented a problem for Belarusian Tatiana, who was refereeing at her first professional event.
Seeing the Woollaston name for first time at the Paul Hunter Classic in Germany 2010 added to her nerves.
"I thought how do I say that - but it's now my surname. I had never heard of him but I was impressed with the way he played."
The 28-year-old from Leicester is not about to disagree with the idea his game has improved since they were married in 2011.
"I had not really done anything before then," said the world number 30. "She has definitely improved me; my form has been a lot better."
Last season was something of a breakthrough for both of them.
Ben reached his first ranking event final, beating Mark Allen, Ali Carter and Mark Williams on his way to the final, where he lost to four-time world champion John Higgins.
And Tatiana refereed her first televised game at a ranking event while at the tournament in Cardiff.
But for Tatiana mixing a full-time job with being a snooker referee, and a mum to three-year-old Edward, is tricky. The chances are also limited because there are only a few full-time referees on the circuit.
"I would love to do it full time because I am really passionate about it but I cannot do as much as I would like," she explained.
Her refereeing commitments are restricted to when she can book time off work, but having such a hectic life has not diminished her enthusiasm - something which Ben says helps him a great deal.
"It's really good that we are both in to snooker," he added. "It makes it much easier as a family to have a common interest. She understands I can be miserable for a few hours if we lose."
Woollaston is confident he can continue his improvement and make his mark on the game's elite, starting with the UK Championship in York.
He faces Steven Hallworth in his first-round match on Wednesday, but is expecting to go deep in to the tournament.
"I want to make the quarter-finals, but if I got that far I would be disappointed to go out," he said.
"My ambition is to win a big ranking event. I have already got to a final so there is no reason I could not go one step further.
"I have developed quite late in snooker terms but hopefully my best is yet to come. I have been much more consistent recently. My aim is to get in to the top 16 by next year and be close by the end of the year.
Tatiana is due to come up to York if Ben progresses beyond the first round. And the fact she is not refereeing may help her husband settle and increase his chances
"We have good memories from Cardiff, but I was more nervous watching her than playing," Ben added.


Tributes have been paid to rally driver Ryan Bradley who died in a crash at the Down Rally on Saturday.

Mr Bradley, from Kilrea, County Londonderry, was killed after his car crashed into a wall and plunged into a reservoir near Castlewellan.
SDLP MLA John Dallat who taught at Ryan's old school said there was disbelief and shock in the community.
"This was the tragic loss of a very good young man who was extremely popular with everyone," Mr Dallat said.
"He had friends in all communities and across Ireland."
Mr Bradley was in his 20s and was a member of Magherafelt and District Motor Club.
Its chairman, James McKeefry, who was also taking part in the rally, said the club was devastated.
"I was competing with another crew at the event when I received the word," he said.
"We went immediately out to be with Ryan's friends and family.  It is devastating for anybody that knew Ryan and anyone from a rallying background. It is just devastatingly sad and we will try and help everyone through it."
The rally began just before 10:00 BST on Saturday from the centre of Castlewellan.
About 70 crews headed the short distance to the first test at Lough Island Reavy  and were due to go to Katesbridge, before returning to Castlewellan Forest Park for service.
The accident happened as Mr Bradley was taking part in the first stage of the event at about 11:30 BST.
He had been driving the car.
Police divers recovered Mr Bradley's body. His co-driver was taken to hospital, but he was not thought to be seriously injured. The event was subsequently cancelled.
In a statement, the organisers of Down Rally, Rathfriland Motor Club, said: "The thoughts of Rathfriland Motor Club, and everyone involved with the event are with the family and friends of the deceased at this time.
"As with all incidents of this nature, an investigation is now being carried out by the PSNI and appropriate local authority.
"Rathfriland Motor Club together with the sport's governing body, the Motor Sports Association (MSA), are co-operating fully with the investigation."


A group of men serving sentences for corruption and financial misconduct in a Bogota prison had a manicurist visit them in their cells to get their nails done.

The little luxury the inmates treated themselves caused anger in Colombia when it was revealed in September.
People asked why the prisoners were allowed access to special privileges.
However, no-one seemed surprised by the fact that a group of men would want to have a manicure.
That is because here in Colombia it is not unusual for men to "get their hands done".
The first time I noticed this trend was at a conference hosted by the Colombian Armed Forces' Retired Officers Association.
Wherever I looked, I saw hands with shiny, perfectly polished nails - many of them covered by a subtle varnish.
There was hardly a hand in the room which had not been improved by a manicure.
Ever since, I have kept looking at Colombian men's hands to try to confirm if it was more than just coincidence.
Well, it turns out that my first impression has been backed up by a survey conducted by the e-commerce website Groupon.
It suggests that Colombian men are much more likely than any of their regional neighbours to get their hands and/or feet done.
According to the survey, more than 27% of Colombians get manicures, while only 14% of Brazilians, 11% of Mexicans, 9% of Argentines and 5% of Chileans are likely to do so.
Fabian Ojeda of the men's grooming salon La Barberia in Bogota, is not surprised by the figures.
"Unlike in other places in Latin America and the world, here it is very common," he tells me of Colombian men's penchant for manicures.
He says that on average, out of the 50 men who will visit Las Barberia to get their hair cut, 15 will also get a manicure.
And that, he says, does not include the men whose sole purpose in visiting La Barberia is to get their nails done.
While Mr Ojeda's clients are mostly well off, he says the practice is not limited to any particular socio-economic group.
Juan Carlos Castro is the director of the Cosmetics and Grooming Chamber of the National Association of Businesses of Colombia.
He says he believes it is a Colombian cultural phenomenon. A few months ago he was in Paris, attending an international cosmetics fair.
When he mentioned male manicures to delegates from other countries, they found the concept strange.
But Mr Castro has grown up with it.
His father used to be in the military and is fond of manicures.
He still does get his nails done, even now that he is 80.
"It shows rank, somehow, in the armed forces," Mr Castro explains.
His grandfather also did it, he recalls.
Luis Alfonso Parra owns one of the largest nail varnish factories in Colombia; he sells a million bottles per month.
He reckons Colombian men get their hands manicured for one obvious reason: "Women look at your shoes, your suit or shirt and your nails."
He sells three products for men: base (to strengthen the nails), tone (in a light pink colour) and gloss (to give them shine).
Products specifically made for men represent 10-15% of his production.
But he says, men will not apply his products at home.
They much prefer to go to a hairdresser or a grooming salon to get their nails cut, filed, polished and varnished.
Mr Ojeda says that prices can vary from anything between 15,000 pesos ($4.50; Â£3.00) to 40,000 pesos, making it an accessible treat to most Colombian men.
"You will find men getting their hands manicured in upmarket grooming salons but also in any corner hairdresser," he says.
And I can attest to the fact that I have seen Colombians from many backgrounds and in many occupations who boast the tell-tale shiny nails.
From bankers to policemen in the middle of the jungle and even demobilised Farc rebels.
It is a habit that almost everyone seems to have embraced.
Just not this correspondent, or at least not yet.


Aston Martin will auction one of 10 DB10 cars made for last year's James Bond film Spectre along with 23 other Bond-related items for charity.

The car, which was specially built for the film, will be put up on 18 February with a minimum price of £1m.
It forms part of "Spectre - The Auction", timed to coincide with the release of the 24th Bond film on DVD.
The car has a 4.7-litre V8 petrol engine and a top speed of 190 mph, but it cannot be driven on public roads.
Aston Martin has been associated with James Bond since the 1964 film Goldfinger, which featured a DB5.
Most of the DB10s were modified for use in the filming of Spectre, but the DB10 offered at Christie's auction house is one of only two "show" cars, which were left unmodified and used for display purposes.
The film is reported to have destroyed $36m worth of cars during shooting.
The car up for auction has been signed by James Bond actor Daniel Craig.


A woman has been indecently assaulted twice in three days in Swansea.

South Wales Police is searching for a boy aged about 16 after three assaults in a matter of days.
A 21-year-old woman was attacked twice as she walked in the marina area along a path which runs off Oystermouth Road; once on Saturday between 17:30-17:45 BST and again on Tuesday at about the same time.
A third assault happened on Tuesday in Bathurst Street at 17:00 BST.
The suspect is described as Asian, aged about 16, with short black hair and about 5ft 5in (1.65m) tall.


A Pakistani woman has been killed by her relatives outside Lahore High Court for marrying against their wishes.

Police said 30-year old Farzana Parveen died on the spot after being attacked with bricks and sticks.
Her father handed himself in, but police say her brothers and former fiance, who also took part in the attack, were still free.
Correspondents say hundreds of girls and women in Pakistan are killed every year by family members.
However, many more killings are believed to go unreported.
Farzana Parveen's parents accused her husband, Muhammad Iqbal, of kidnapping her, and had filed a case against him at the High Court.
However, she testified to police that she had married him of her own accord. Police said the couple had been engaged for a number of years.
As she arrived at the court building for a hearing, police said about a dozen family members pulled her aside and began to attack her and her husband, who managed to escape.
Police official Umer Cheema told Reuters that all the family members escaped after the killing, apart from her father, who has admitted his role in her death.
The BBC's Shumaila Jaffery says marriage against the wishes of relatives is culturally unacceptable in some parts of Pakistan.
Under Pakistani law, the victim's family is allowed to forgive the killer. However, in many cases family members are themselves responsible for the killing.


Somerset pair Craig and Jamie Overton have both had their contracts with the Division One county extended to the end of the 2020 season.

The 23-year-old twin brothers' deals had been due to expire in 2018.
Craig has taken 168 wickets in 55 first-class matches while averaging 24.43 with the bat, hitting seven 50s.
Jamie - who, like his brother, is a right-hand bowler and right-hand batsman - has played 95 matches across all three formats, taking 168 wickets.
Somerset chief executive Lee Cooper told the club website: "Craig and Jamie are exceptionally talented players and to have secured their long-term futures is a real coup for the club."


A planned £7m maritime centre for the south Wales seaside town of Porthcawl is set to take a big step forward as its backers prepare to launch a search for contractors to build it.

Porthcawl Harbourside said work should begin in mid 2017, with the building expected to open by 2018 or 2019.
It will house water sport and exercise facilities, a coastal science centre, a cafe and an outdoor theatre.
The project was awarded a £1.1m Big Lottery grant in October.
The money will go towards developing the land, which is owned by Bridgend council.
Porthcawl Harbourside was formed by a collaboration between the Welsh Surfing Federation and Porthcawl Sea Cadets with involvement from two of the now-directors, town councillor and former mayor Mike Clarke and Stuart Bentley, a resident with a background in architecture.
Mr Clarke said the Cosy Corner site where the centre would be built - named after the former Cosy Cinema which stood on the area along with a skating rink - will reflect its history as a "bustling centre of activity and a magnet for tourists".
Operations director Mark Bryant told BBC Wales the group expected to get to the procurement stage "this side of Christmas" when an invitation to tender would go out to find a contractor to build the centre.
According to Mr Bryant, support from the local community has been "incredible".
"We couldn't have done it without them. They've been instrumental in getting it off the ground," he said.
"We're working with the Chamber of Commerce to the Civic Trust to the YMCA. They've all been really supportive.
"The whole town has really come together behind it."
He said a key philosophy behind the project, which is run on a not-for-profit basis, was social benefits for the whole community. The centre is aiming to offer 50 full-time equivalent jobs.
The site will offer a coastal maritime science and discovery centre, including environmental, culture, local history and community learning in partnership with Swansea University, and a public viewing gallery nicknamed the crow's nest with a camera obscura - which allows people to look out to sea - and facilities for lifeguards and emergency services.
The National Governing Body of Surfing in Wales and the Sea Cadets will be based there, along with a Welsh surf museum, a gym, training pool, water sport facilities with toilets and shower facilities and conference space for up to 100 people.
There will also be an indoor gallery and an outdoor amphitheatre, along with office space, accommodation and a cafe/bistro open into the evening, which Mr Bryant said would be a training cafe offering opportunities for catering students.
The harbour area of the town is one of the places where work has progressed in recent years, while other schemes to regenerate the town centre have stalled.
In a separate development, work began in September on restoring the Grade II-listed Jennings building which has overlooked the harbour for more than 180 years.
The developers, ABA Holdings, are converting it into commercial units, with a theatre-style restaurant and bar and 13 home studios with bedrooms which will allow people to live and work on site.
Those units are already rented, according to the council.
Responses from the local community have been positive in the main, although there have been some concerns raised about a lack of parking associated with the project.
Jo Richards, whose family has run Walters Shoes in Porthcawl for 140 years, said the project was a "great thing" for the town.
"I think it will be great for footfall in the town, which a small town like Porthcawl always needs," she said.
"There hasn't been any major non-commercial development for a long time. Almost everyone has welcomed it."
Sophie Evans, who works at the Marine Hotel on the seafront, said: "I think it's a good idea because it will bring more people to Porthcawl. Particularly if it brings more people in the winter months, because that's when we need people.
"It will will be good to have something there because when my parents were younger it was busy. It doesn't seem like it's used much."


The Queen has spoken of the need for unity in Europe in a speech to German and UK leaders in Berlin.

The monarch, who is on a four-day trip, said "division in Europe is dangerous".
Her speech was made in the presence of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Prime Minister David Cameron, who wants to reform the UK's EU membership.
Buckingham Palace stressed the comments were not about Mr Cameron's EU aims - but campaign group Republic criticised her "intervention in politics".
Ms Merkel and Mr Cameron earlier met for talks ahead of an EU summit in Brussels.
The Queen, who as UK head of state stays politically neutral, told the banquet in Bellevue Palace, the official residence of Germany's president Joachim Gauck: "In our lives, we have seen the worst but also the best of our continent.
"We have witnessed how quickly things can change for the better.
"But we know that we must work hard to maintain the benefits of the post-war world.
"We know that division in Europe is dangerous and that we must guard against it in the west, as well as in the east, of our continent. That remains a common endeavour."
Two heads of state - one elected, one hereditary - delivered two rather different speeches.
Germany's President Gauck had no difficulty echoing the position of his prime minister that they would assist Britain in order to keep her in Europe.
The Queen - who her aides insist is apolitical - wasn't there to actively and openly assist David Cameron in his bid to renegotiate the UK's EU membership.
Those around her say the British monarch's words were about Europe, not the EU.
She was able to draw on her personal wartime experience to highlight the advantages of unity and the perils of division.
There's no denying the content was pro-European; this was a British head of state highlighting the value of her country's place at the heart of the continent.
Such words won't harm if, when the time comes, David Cameron decides to back a Yes vote in the in/out EU referendum.
More from Peter Hunt
Later a Buckingham Palace aide said: "This is not about the EU. The Queen is apolitical. She would never make a political point."
However, Campaign group Republic claimed the Queen's comments fitted "a recent pattern of intervening and then having the palace deny it is an intervention".
Republic CEO Graham Smith said: "It's a dishonest and underhand pattern of interventions that is the result of the Queen being unaccountable for what she does."
He said she appeared to be "dancing to the PM's tune", but added: "If David Cameron thinks getting the Queen on side is going to help his cause he is playing with fire.
"An outspoken monarch is a much easier target for a growing republican campaign."
Robert Lacey, a historian and biographer of the Queen, said he thought it was clear the Queen's speech had been written "from her own experience" of living through World War Two and visiting the country 20 years after the war ended.
He said the first draft of the speech was likely to have been written by the Queen and her advisers and then run past government officials.
There was also a "huge Nato dimension" to her talk, he added, with the "east" she spoke of clearly referring to Ukraine.
The Palace aide said the Queen had been referring to risks of wider differences dividing the continent.
Mr Gauck said in his banquet speech that the EU needed the UK and it would support a "constructive dialogue" on the reforms Mr Cameron wanted.
He said the EU was facing "major challenges" and that "an effective European Union" was "based on a stable foundation of shared values".
"A constructive dialogue on the reforms Britain wants to see is therefore essential," he said.
"As a good partner, Germany will support this dialogue. For Britain is part of Europe. The European Union needs Britain.
"A united Europe, a strong European Union, represent stability, peace and freedom - for us all."
Mr Cameron has said he wants to reform the UK's membership of the EU before holding an in/out referendum in 2017.


Scarlets consolidated their place in the Pro12's top four with a hard-earned win over play-off rivals Ulster.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Jacob Stockdale sliced through weak Scarlets defending to help build a 13-6 half-time lead for the visitors.
Scarlets fought back and clinched victory with a controversial penalty try owing to World Rugby's new rules on high tackles.
Both sides had players sin-binned because of the new rules in a gritty, low-scoring second half.

Scarlets started the game four points above sixth-placed Ulster, who had a game in hand over their opponents.
An exchange of penalties between Scarlets fly-half Dan Jones and opposite number Paddy Jackson had seen the hosts lead 6-3, before Ulster struck midway through the first half.
They were given a helping hand by the Scarlets, as centre Stuart McCloskey wriggled out of a tackle to offload to wing Stockdale, who ran through for an easy score.
Scarlets recovered with a second-half penalty from Jones, and then a penalty try which put the spotlight on World Rugby's new directive on high tackles.
Players making contact with an opponent's head in "reckless tackles" now receive at least a yellow card - and so it proved for Ulster's Sean Reidy.
The number eight thought he had denied Scarlets scrum-half Aled Davies a score with a tackle on the try line but, because it was deemed high by television match official Carlo Damasco, referee Marius Mitrea sent him to the sin-bin and awarded the hosts a penalty try.
Scarlets second row Jake Ball was also yellow-carded for a high tackle two minutes later, prompting a period of pressure from Ulster.
But Scarlets stood firm to secure a ninth win from 10 Pro12 fixtures.
