Almost a quarter of a million children in parts of Nigeria's Borno state formerly controlled by Boko Haram are suffering from severe malnutrition, the UN children's agency says.

Tens of thousands will die if treatment does not reach them soon, Unicef warns.
In areas where Boko Haram militants had been in control, it found people without water, food or sanitation.
Last month, a charity said people fleeing Boko Haram had starved to death.
The Islamist group's seven-year rebellion has left 20,000 people dead and more than two million displaced.
Nigeria's military is involved in a large-scale offensive against the group.
Unicef says that as more areas in north-eastern Nigeria become accessible to humanitarian help, the extent of the nutrition crisis affecting children is becoming more apparent.
It said that of the 244,000 children found to be suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Borno, almost one in five would die if they were not reached with treatment.
"Some 134 children on average will die every day from causes linked to acute malnutrition if the response is not scaled up quickly," said Manuel Fontaine, Unicef's Regional Director for Western and Central Africa.
"We need all partners and donors to step forward to prevent any more children from dying. No-one can take on a crisis of this scale alone."
Mr Fontaine said he had seen destroyed towns accommodating displaced people and thousands of frail children in desperate need of help.
"There are two million people we are still not able to reach in Borno state, which means that the true scope of this crisis has yet to be revealed to the world," he added.
"There are organisations on the ground doing great work, but none of us are able to work at the scale and quality that we need. We must all scale up."
MSF said in June that a "catastrophic humanitarian emergency" was unfolding at one camp in Bama, Borno state, where 24,000 people had taken refuge.
Many inhabitants were traumatised and one in five children was suffering from acute malnutrition, it said.

China is to focus on projecting its military presence beyond its borders at sea, according to a strategy document.

The navy will shift its focus to "open seas protection", rather than "offshore waters defence" alone.
It will also speed up developing its cyber force to tackle "grave security threats", the State Council said.
China has been accused of aggressively pursuing territorial claims in the South China Sea which has sparked concern in Washington.
The strategy document highlighted four areas of critical importance - the ocean, outer space, nuclear force and cyber space. Its recent naval policy has prompted the most controversy.
In recent years, China has focused on building up its navy. It has launched an aircraft carrier and invested heavily in submarines and other warships.
It has also exercised its claims over islands in the South China Sea which the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei variously dispute.
In one disputed area, the Spratly Islands, US officials say China has created about 800 hectares (2,000 acres) of dry land since 2014 that could be used as airstrips.
The strategy document warns of threats to China's maritime rights and interests.
It says China "will not attack unless [it is] attacked, but will counterattack" and mentions the "provocative actions of certain offshore neighbours" and "outside parties involving themselves in South China Sea affairs".
On the same day that the strategy document was released, state news agency Xinhua reported two 50-metre high lighthouses were to be built on a reefs in the Spratly Islands, which are claimed by Vietnam and the Philippines.
At a news conference to release the document, defence ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said: "Looking from the angle of sovereignty, China's development of construction on its islands is no different at all from all the other types of construction going on around the country."
He said island building was "beneficial to the whole of international society" because it aided China's search and rescue, and environmental protection work.
China criticised Washington after a US spy plane flew over areas near the Spratly Islands last week, with both sides accusing each other of stoking instability.
The strategy document  also says China's air force will shift its focus from territorial air defence to both offence and defence, and building airspace defences with stronger military capabilities.


Mexican footballer Alan Pulido has been kidnapped in the northern border state of Tamaulipas, officials say.

The 25-year-old striker was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday near his home in Ciudad Victoria after leaving a party.
He plays for the Greek team Olympiakos and has made several appearances for Mexico's national team.
Mexico has the one of the world's highest kidnapping rates, with government figures saying some 1,000 people are taken every year.
Others argue that the true figure could be almost ten times as high.
Criss-crossed by drug smugglers
Local media reports said Pulido had been leaving a party with his girlfriend late on Saturday night when their car was surrounded by several trucks.
Six masked men reportedly took the striker away "by force" while his girlfriend was left unharmed in the car park where the incident took place.
Tamaulipas is one of Mexico's most violent states, and Mexico recently deployed more security forces to tackle cartels operating in the area.
Dozens of people have been killed in recent weeks in the border state, which is criss-crossed by drug-smuggling routes to the United States.
Pulido joined Olympiakos last July and finished the season with six goals in 15 games.


Mako Vunipola is set to make his first appearance in this year's Six Nations after being included in a 28-man England training squad for Sunday's game against Italy at Twickenham.

The 26-year-old returned for Saracens against Gloucester on Friday after two months out with knee-ligament damage.
He is likely to feature at least from the bench as one of only two loose-head props retained in the squad.
England are looking to extend their winning streak to 17 matches.
England's 28-man training squad:
Forwards: Jack Clifford (Harlequins), Dan Cole (Leicester), Charlie Ewels (Bath), Jamie George (Saracens), Teimana Harrison (Northampton), Dylan Hartley (Northampton), James Haskell (Wasps), Nathan Hughes (Wasps), Maro Itoje (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Kyle Sinckler (Harlequins), Mako Vunipola (Saracens), Mike Williams (Leicester), Tom Wood (Northampton).
Backs: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Danny Care (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath), Jonathan Joseph (Bath), Jonny May (Gloucester), Jack Nowell (Exeter), Henry Slade (Exeter), Ben Te'o (Worcester), Anthony Watson (Bath), Ben Youngs (Leicester).


A 72-year-old man who was critically injured in a fire at a house in Inverclyde has died in hospital.

Fire crews were called to the terraced house in Berwick Road, Greenock, at about 18:23 on Sunday.
The man was treated for serious burns at Inverclyde Royal Hospital and then transferred to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he later died.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland are jointly investigating the cause of the blaze.


Spaniard Alvaro Quiros defeated Zander Lombard at the second play-off hole to win the Rocco Forte Open in Sicily and regain his European Tour card.

Quiros led by seven shots after six holes of his final round but a poor finish saw him end in a tie with the South African on 14 under par.
Quiros, 34, had lost his Tour card and dropped to 703 in the world rankings after a dramatic slump in form.
Michael Hoey carded a closing 72 to finish in joint 11th on eight under.
An albatross two at the par-five 12th helped China's Li Haotong to third place on 13 under.
The last of Quiros' six previous European Tour successes came in 2011 when he secured the DP World Tour Championship.
The former world number 23 lay 20 under after six holes but four bogeys and a double bogey, including four dropped shots between the 15th and the 17th, saw him drop back into the pack at Verdura Golf Club.
The 16th proved particularly problematic as Quiros fired his tee shot into a bush and had to take a penalty drop before signing for a six.
A par on the second extra hole, the 18th, proved enough after Lombard three-putted from 40 feet.
The Spanish player's victory earns him a place in the line-up for next week's PGA Championship at Wentworth.

The Rio 2016 Paralympic Games were brought to a close inside a packed Maracana Stadium on Sunday evening.

Singers, dancers and fireworks lit up the iconic stadium before tributes were paid to Iranian cyclist Bahman Golbarnezhad, who died on Saturday.
Sir Philip Craven, International Paralympic Committee president, said the movement was "united in grief".
Referring to the success of the Games, Craven said the Rio Paralympics were "uniquely Brazilian and wondrous".
Britain finished the Games with 147 medals, 64 of which were gold. They were second behind China, who claimed 107 golds and 239 in total.
Craven thanked organisers, athletes and spectators after passing the Paralympic flag to the governor of Tokyo, which hosts the next Games in 2020.
Craven was also warmly applauded when bestowing the Paralympic Order - his organisation's highest honour - on the Brazilian city.
Standing alongside him, Carlos Nuzman, the president of Rio's organising committee, was cheered when he exclaimed: "Mission accomplished.
"The Brazil we love so much has shown the world what it can do.
"This celebration started with a dream. It was 20 years in the making. Many thought it was impossible. But not for Rio and Brazil.
"The impossible happened. Brazilians never give up."
Cyclist Golbarnezhad's death is the first in competition at a summer Olympics or Paralympics since Danish cyclist Knud Enemark Jensen in the 100km team time trial at the 1960 Rome Olympics.
"Tonight is a celebration of the last 12 days of sport but it's also a very sombre occasion following Saturday's extremely tragic events," said Craven.
"The passing of Bahman Golbarnezhad has affected us all and left the whole Paralympic movement united in grief."
As well as the closing ceremony tribute, flags were lowered to half-mast as Iran won gold on Sunday in the sitting volleyball, one of the final events of the Games.
Flags have also been lowered around the Paralympic village.
An investigation into the crash has begun, the IPC said.
Kadeena Cox, who won gold medals in both athletics and cycling, carried the flag for ParalympicsGB at the closing ceremony.
The 25-year-old is the first Briton to win titles in two sports at the same Games since Seoul 1988.

As flagbearer, Cox led out one of the most successful British Paralympic teams in history, having ensured their best medal haul since 1988.
Dame Sarah Storey won her third and GB's 60th gold medal of the Games on Saturday, with the tally reaching 64 golds by the end of the day.
During the closing ceremony, Storey was presented to the crowd after being elected to the IPC Athletes' Council.


Recent cold winters that brought chaos to the UK and other places in northern Europe may have their roots in the Sun's varying ultraviolet emissions.

The latest satellite data shows the UV output is far more changeable than scientists had previously thought.
A UK scientific team now shows in Nature Geoscience journal how these changes lead to warmer winters in some places and colder winters in others.
The researchers emphasise there is no impact on global warming.
The Sun has recently been in a quiet phase of its regular 11-year cycle, which co-incided with three years in which the UK, along with other places in northern Europe and parts of the US, experienced cold conditions unusual in the recent record.
But unusually warm weather was felt both further south, around the Mediterranean Sea, and further north in Canada and Greenland.
"The key point is that this effect is a change in the circulation, moving air from one place to another, which is why some places get cold and others get warm," said Adam Scaife, one of the researchers on the paper, who heads the UK Met Office's Seasonal to Decadal Prediction team.
"It's a jigsaw puzzle, and when you average it up over the globe, there is no effect on global temperatures," he told BBC News.
The recent revelations on the Sun's ultraviolet variability come from a Nasa satellite called the SOlar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), launched in 2003.
Among its instruments is the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM), which analyses the Sun's output at frequencies in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet parts of the spectrum.
SIM is giving scientists a detailed picture of how the Sun's ultraviolet emissions vary over its regular 11-year cycle of waxing and waning energy; and it suggests the UV variation is about five times larger than had been inferred from previous observations.
Meanwhile, scientists including the Met Office team have been publishing papers demonstrating that winter temperatures over Europe and North America do vary with the solar cycle - but without being able to show the mechanism.
The new research involved plugging SIM's ultraviolet measurements into the Met Office Hadley Centre computer model of the world's climate.
The results of the modelling re-inforce the idea that the UV variations affect winter weather across the region; and they indicate how it may happen.
Arctic roots of our 'upside-down' weather
UV is absorbed in the stratosphere, the upper atmosphere, by ozone. So in the quiet bit of the solar cycle, when there is less UV to absorb, the stratosphere is relatively cooler.
The Hadley Centre model shows that the effects of this percolate down through the atmosphere, changing wind speeds, including the jet stream that circles the globe above Europe, North America and Russia.
The net change is a reduced air flow from west to east, which brings colder air to the UK and northern Europe and re-distributes temperatures across the region.
Dr Scaife emphasises that ultraviolet emissions are not the sole reason why winter temperatures vary.
But understanding the UV link may improve meteorologists' capacity to predict winter weather accurately.
"Assuming these new satellite data are correct... then as the 11-year solar cycle is predictable, it's going to contribute some predictability for European and indeed UK weather," he said.
"You'll never be able to predict the precise temperature of the third week in January or whatever, but you might be able to say 'this winter is more likely to be warm' or 'more likely to be cold' with more accuracy."
The one big caveat is whether SIM's data is accurate.
Scientists in the field appear to believe it is - but as the UV changes it sees are so large compared with previous methods, they would prefer confirmation.
Commenting in Nature Geoscience, Katja Matthes from the Helmholtz Centre in Potsdam, Germany, describes the results as "intriguing, albeit somewhat provisional".
"The trends seen in the SIM observations are still under discussion and remain to be confirmed," she writes.
She also points out that SIM measures only a proportion of the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
If the ultraviolet theory is correct, the UK is less likely to see cold winters in the next few years as the 11-year solar cycle gains strength.
As well as the 11-year cycle, the Sun's output also varies on longer timescales.
Its intensity has increased since the 1600s when the period known as the Maunder Minimum began, with astronomers documenting a dearth of sunspots over many decades.
The Maunder Minimum co-incided with part of a period that has come to be known as the Little Ice Age, when winter weather overall grew colder in parts of Europe.
Mike Lockwood of the UK's Reading University, who also studies possible associations between solar changes and climate, suggested that if the Sun's ultraviolet output varies as much on long timescales as its does across the solar cycle, that could provide the connection between the Maunder Minimum and the temperature changes.
"The Little Ice Age wasn't really an ice age of any kind - the idea that Europe had a relentless sequence of cold winters is frankly barking, but there was a larger proportion of cold winters," he told BBC News.
"We now have a viable explanation of why that happened - nothing to do with global warming, but in terms of temperature re-distribution around the north Atlantic."

A lorry driver who crashed while using his mobile phone has admitted causing the deaths of two friends.

Driver Marian Olteanu, 35, and passenger Ion Calin, 42, were killed when their car was involved in the smash with three HGVs in Southampton.
Keith Mees, 49, of Pingle Farm Road, Derbyshire, pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
He will be sentenced on 2 December at Southampton Crown Court.
He also admitted causing serious injury to one of the lorry drivers by dangerous driving.
Police said the two men who died in December's crash on the M271 were from Shirley in Southampton and were work colleagues.


UK house prices rose by 3.2% year-on-year in August, according to the latest survey from mortgage provider Nationwide.

That is the weakest annual pace since June 2013, and marks a slight slowdown from July.
Month on month, prices rose by 0.3% in August, compared with 0.4% the month before.
The average house value in August was Â£195,279, according to the Nationwide house price index.
One reason why house price inflation has apparently weakened is a rapid growth in prices at this time last year, the Nationwide said.
"This month's data provides further evidence that annual house price growth may be stabilising close to the pace of earnings growth, which has historically been around 4%," said Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist.
"Clearly house price trends are determined by a wide range of factors, but labour market developments are amongst the most important," he added.
With demand for homes rising, new home construction needs to increase to keep houses affordable, he said.
The figures from the Nationwide are in marked contrast to those from its rival, Halifax.
Earlier this month the Halifax reported that house prices across the UK were rising at 7.9% a year, and it expected strong growth to continue.
Halifax and Nationwide use different "mix adjustments" in their methodology.
This involves a different emphasis on property sizes, to account for the fact that more small or large properties may be sold in any one month.


Two men have been charged with murder after a brawl outside a lap dancing bar left one dead.

A group of about 10 men were involved in the fight on The Causeway, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, early on Thursday morning, police said.
Christopher Thompson, 32, from Stockport, suffered head injuries in the fracas and later died in hospital.
Aiden Oakes, 26, of Peveril Road and Anton Oakes, 22, of Lee Avenue, Altrincham, are charged with murder.
The brothers appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Saturday and were remanded in custody to appear at Manchester Crown Court on Thursday, Greater Manchester Police said.
Mr Thompson's family said he was "genuinely one in a million" and "will leave a void that can never be filled."
They said he "lived for his family" and "was never happier than when he was spending time with them."
"Chris was a son, husband, daddy, brother and uncle and there are no words adequate enough to express how much he loves and was loved in return by his family and friends.
The family said Mr Thompson's death "has had a devastating effect on all who knew him" and thanked people for their support, which they said has "been overwhelming and gives credit to how loved Chris was."


Leeds Rhinos reached the last four of the Challenge Cup with a crushing quarter-final win over Championship side Featherstone at Headingley.

Rovers, the only second-tier club in the last eight, were 22-0 down at half-time to tries from Stevie Ward, Brett Ferres, Joel Moon and Ash Handley.
Carl Ablett, Liam Sutcliffe and Handley then all went over while Featherstone's James Lockwood was in the sin-bin.
Brad Singleton added two tries before Ryan Hall rounded off a routine win.
Leeds, winners of the Challenge Cup on 13 occasions, join Salford Red Devils in the semi-finals.
The two remaining quarter-finals see Warrington host Wigan (Saturday, 15:00 BST, live on BBC One) and holders Hull FC take on Super League leaders Castleford (Sunday, 15:00 BST, live on BBC Two).
All of the Rhinos' three Challenge Cup ties this season have been against lower-league opposition, but there has been no let up in their performances, with 194 points scored in total.
Moon was inspired at half-back, but it was in the forwards where Leeds dominated Rovers through the influential Adam Cuthbertson and Ferres.
Featherstone were full of energy and intent, but the gap in fitness levels caught up with them after half-time as Leeds exploited the extra space.
They were even denied a consolation score when Josh Hardcastle finally squeezed over the line, as the try was ruled out by video referee Ben Thaler.
Leeds: Sutcliffe; Briscoe, Watkins, Handley, Hall; McGuire, Moon; Singleton, Parcell, Galloway, Ward, Ablett, Ferres.
Replacements: Cuthbertson, Walker, Mullally, Garbutt.
Featherstone: Hardman; Taulapapa, Hardcastle, Walton, Johnson; Briggs, Aston; Moore, Wildie, Cooper, Knowles, Davies, Tagg.
Replacements: Griffin, Carlile, Mariano, Lockwood.

Russia's athletics head coach Valentin Maslakov has resigned.

On Tuesday, Russia's anti-doping agency banned five race walkers.
Russian athletics president Valentin Balakhnichev said: "Even though Maslakov has nothing to do with anti-doping policies of the athletics team, he could not stand by idly and decided to take responsibility for those who he was in charge of."
Maslakov, 70, had overseen the training of Russian team athletes since 2007.
His entire coaching career has spanned more than 40 years.
Athletics' governing body the IAAF says it is concerned about the  number of Russian doping cases in the sport.
A total of 23 of the 37 athletes sanctioned under the IAAF's biological passport programme since 2009 have been Russian.
London 2012 men's 50km walk winner Sergey Kirdyapkin, women's 2008 Olympic 20km gold medallist Olga Kaniskina and 2011 50km world champion Sergey Bakulin were all banned for three years and two months with their cases backdated from late 2012.
Olympic 2008 winner Valery Borchin was banned for eight years and Vladimir Kanaykin for life.
Abnormal blood levels in the sportsmen's biological passports were the reasons for the bans.
The World Anti-Doping Agency is investigating allegations of widespread doping and corruption in the sport after claims were aired in a recent German television documentary, with a report due to be published by the end of the year.
Claims that a top British athlete escaped a doping inquiry after officials decided not to look into 150 suspicious blood samples were among the allegations broadcast.
That prompted a separate investigation by the IAAF, which had been accused of failing to take action.
An earlier programme shown by a German broadcaster alleged that as many as 99% of Russian athletes were guilty of doping.
Those claims were rejected as "lies" by the Russian Athletics Federation, which has also launched its own investigation.


Aberdeen FC has told fans of the challenges it faces in dealing with seagulls that mob Pittodrie stadium on match days.

Supporters have been complaining to the club about the birds swooping down on people in the stands during games.
In a statement on its website, Aberdeen FC said it was an ongoing issue that it has been trying to tackle.
While gulls are discouraged from setting up home at Pittodrie, AFC said it could not control nearby nest sites.
For a number of years, nests and eggs found at the football ground have been destroyed under licence.
A hawk is flown at the football ground during the week and an hour before the stadium's doors open on match days.
But Aberdeen said the bird of prey could not be flown during games.
The club said: "Currently Aberdeen FC has no nesting in and around the actual stadium buildings, however, we cannot control this out with our boundary and birds are nesting in and around the flats around the stadium.
"Seagulls are very intelligent birds and will always gather where a large crowd of people are and where food is consumed so we would urge all fans to take care and use the bins provided for unwanted food which will assist in controlling the seagulls."
It added: "Aberdeen FC will continue to do all we can to combat this issue and ensure the match-day experience is a positive one for Dons supporters."


Security staff at hospitals in Coventry and Warwickshire are wearing body-worn CCTV cameras to record incidents.

The body cameras have been used by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW) since 1 March.
They can be turned on if situations with patients become serious, and are also able to record audio footage.
The trust says the move will help to keep patients and staff safe from violence.
More on this story and others from Coventry and Warwickshire
An NHS Protect report revealed there were 188 reported assaults on staff in 2014-15, compared to 156 in the previous 12-month period and 89 in 2010-11.
Body cameras are already in use at hospitals in Cardiff, Oxford and Sussex.
Verbal warning will be issued before turning on the audio recording equipment, and the footage could be used in any potential court case.
Staff have been given training in using the cameras, as well as on the legal issues around evicting people from the hospital.
UHCW security manager Barry Newell said security staff are only deployed at hospitals "in extreme circumstances" and cameras would only be used "when absolutely necessary".
"Occasionally a small minority [of patients and visitors] do show violence or aggression, and these measures will assist our security teams in helping the police investigate any incidents of criminal behaviour," he said.


A long-awaited £14m water park has opened after its initial unveiling was delayed due to technical difficulties with water temperature.

Alpamare Scarborough had been due to open on Thursday in North Bay but was put back so a new part could be fitted.
It includes indoor and outdoor pools, waterslides and a spa, and is part of the £150m Sands development in the North Yorkshire seaside town.
Park plans were first proposed in 2005 but have faced several set-backs.
The work, halted by developers Benchmark Leisure in 2009 because of the economic downturn, got a loan of £9m from Scarborough Borough Council.
The water attraction, predicted to attract about 500,000 visitors a year, is built on a 13 hectare site of the Burniston Road car park.
In September 2013, the council decided by a single vote to provide the loan for the park.


Walsall kept themselves in the frame for automatic promotion from League One by beating struggling Fleetwood, who remain in relegation danger.

Top scorer Tom Bradshaw, Paul Downing and Romaine Sawyers scored to lift the Saddlers back to within three points of second-placed Burton Albion.
Walsall must win at Port Vale on Sunday and hope Burton lose at Doncaster.
Devante Cole got one back for Fleetwood, who will stay up with victory at home to relegated Crewe.
The Cod Army's superior goal difference over Blackpool means a draw is almost certain to be enough but, if they lose and their Lancashire neighbours win at Peterborough, Steven Pressley's side will go down.
Cole's late strike also tilted the goal difference a little further in Burton's favour, meaning that either Walsall would have to win by more than one goal or Burton lose by more than one goal for the Saddlers to go up automatically alongside Wigan.
Knowing that nothing less than victory would keep their slim automatic promotion hopes alive, Walsall got off to a dream start inside two minutes when Bradshaw turned in Jason Demetriou's right-wing cross.
They doubled their lead on 18 minutes when centre-back Downing volleyed home Anthony Forde's left-wing corner.
Forde came close to scoring when his free-kick took a looping deflection off the wall and had to be kept out by Chris Maxwell's superb fingertip save.
After Bradshaw had headed wide at the start of the second half, Sawyers put the result beyond doubt when, after a one-two, he drilled a low right-footed shot just inside Maxwell's right post.
Bradshaw was denied a second when Maxwell saved brilliantly with his fingertips, before substitute Cole netted his equation-changing consolation, curling a low right-foot shot beyond home goalkeeper Neil Etheridge.
Walsall interim boss Jon Whitney told BBC WM:
"I've just got this feeling that something special's going to happen and we've given ourselves a great opportunity. We've still got the momentum.
"I'm sure Burton realise that they can't switch off they now. They now know that they have to get back on it.
"I feel for Steven Pressley because I really like their staff and have a lot of respect for them but we need to get wins.
"They're a decent side but we were so disciplined and our energy levels were a credit to the players. Tom Bradshaw worked so hard for us that he deserved his goal."
Fleetwood manager Steven Pressley told BBC Sport:
"Our first-half performance left us climbing a mountain. We got a reaction but we were nowhere near the levels we have set ourselves, in all aspects.
"Now we have to pick ourselves up and get the right reaction next week.
"We think we're good enough but we now have to endure a pressurised week and come out on Sunday to see the job through.
"I would expect a committed performance from Crewe. I know their manager Steve Davis. He's a professional man and their result proved on Saturday that he's still got them working very hard."


A total of 13 Ministry of Defence sites will be sold to provide land for up to 17,017 homes and will raise £225m, the government has said.

Defence minister Mark Lancaster said 12,565 of the homes were "expected to materialise in this Parliament".
He acknowledged this would impact on civilian and military staff but provisions were being made, he said.
The sites include an RAF base, barracks, ex-World War Two airfields and a chaplaincy centre.
They also include two golf courses at RAF Henlow and Southwick Park in Hampshire.
Meanwhile, Network Rail has announced it will release land at almost 200 sites for 12,000 new homes by 2020.
This includes 5,000 homes in London, 3,600 homes in Manchester and the north, 1,700 homes in the Midlands and the east of England and 1,400 homes in the south of England.
The 13 military sites that will be sold by the MoD are:
The MoD said the land at Venning and Parsons Barracks are the only sites that will not have housing built on them, as they will be used for commercial development at the request of Telford and Wrekin Council.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "We are getting rid of land that we don't need to build homes that we do, generating hundreds of millions of pounds in the process.
"Our commitment to protect and increase the budget for our armed forces means that every penny of that will be reinvested into defence, helping to keep Britain safe."
But shadow defence secretary Clive Lewis said: "Affordable housing is desperately needed across the UK, particularly by service families, who have seen the cost of their housing go up as conditions get worse.
"So it's disappointing that the MoD has failed to say how many of these potential new homes will be affordable, or how many could be set aside for service personnel.
"In fact, they cannot even reassure us that these sites will be used to build new homes at all," he said.
"What we're looking at is the double impact of 18,000 MoD staff losing their jobs and public land potentially being sold on the cheap for developers to profit from," a Public and Commercial Services union spokesman said.
"The government must learn from the mistakes of the past and ensure any land sold not only realises its full value, but that house-builders are forced to ensure enough affordable homes are provided."
In a written statement, Mr Lancaster said consultations will take place over the coming weeks with "stakeholders" including trade unions, to determine the future of each site and their occupants.
"The release of land by the MoD has the potential to provide land for new homes and we will continue to engage with impacted local authorities to determine how the department's assessment of housing unit allocation against each site may be considered as part of the authority's Local Plan," he said.
"I acknowledge that these moves will have an impact upon civilian and military staff; the department is making arrangements to provide for units and functions based at sites which will not have a future defence requirement."
An MoD spokeswoman said it was too early to confirm how exactly it would affect staff at the sites, but she said "the majority" will be provided for and moved to accommodation elsewhere, for example.
Mr Lancaster said the sales would contribute £225m towards the MoD's £1bn target for land release sales, as set out in its spending review last year.
The release of the sites contributes to the government commitment to provide land for 160,000 homes by 2020, he said.
The 2015 Conservative manifesto pledged that 200,000 quality Starter Homes would be built over the course of the Parliament, reserved for first-time buyers under 40 and sold at 20 % below the market price.


England bowler Sam Tolchard says he does not want a repeat of his 2010 Commonwealth Games disappointment when he takes to the greens in Glasgow.

Tolchard topped his group in Delhi only to lose both his semi-final and bronze medal match on tie breaks.
He is in the
"This time I hope I can win my semi-final game and get a chance at a gold or silver, that'd be the ideal aim," Tolchard told BBC Sport.
"It was very difficult because I was going very well, I'd only lost one game all week."
Tolchard still has difficult memories of his semi-final with Welshman Robert Weale, and his subsequent bronze medal play-off loss to Northern Ireland's Gary Kelly.
"I lost the semi-final to a chap I beat in the group stage, which was rather ironic - he only just squeezed through and went on and won the gold so that was quite disappointing.
"I had to go straight onto play the bronze medal game and lost that on a tie break in the last end, so I suppose hopefully I'll just learn from it and this time it'll be a different result."


Manchester United's Uruguayan defender Guillermo Varela has joined Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt for 2016-17.

The 23-year-old right-back moved to United from Atletico Penarol in 2013 for an undisclosed fee and had a season on loan with Real Madrid's reserves.
He made his senior United debut against West Ham in December and has made a total of 10 starts for the first team.
Varela made a substitute appearance in Jose Mourinho's first game in charge of United at Wigan last weekend.

A 15-year-old boy is in a critical condition in hospital after being struck by a car in the Crookston area of Glasgow.

The teenager was crossing Barrhead Road, near its junction with Croookston Road, when the accident happened at about 18:40 on Thursday.
He is currently being treated for serious injuries at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The 41-year-old driver of the Ford Fiesta involved was uninjured.
Police have appealed for witnesses.


The first keys have been handed over to new homes built for troops moving from Germany to Stafford.

Just over 1,000 soldiers from two signals regiments and their families will be moving to Beacon Barracks.
Developer Lovell, based in nearby Tamworth, is building 346 homes on sites in the area.
They are expected to be completed at a rate of 15 a week, with the last ones handed over to the Ministry of Defence in September.
L/Cpl Richard Neely and his wife Rachel were the first to see inside their property and said the move would give them more "security" for the future.
"We're just looking for something more permanent now," Ms Neely said.
"This is our third move in two years. With a baby it's quite hard."
1st Armoured Division Signal Regiment and 16th Signal Regiment will join 22 Signal Regiment at Beacon Barracks as part of a wider shake-up of defence bases.
The Ministry of Defence plans to move 20,000 troops from bases in Germany to the UK between 2010 and 2020, ending a 70-year association with Germany.


Residents on a new estate threatened with demolition by HS2 say their future remains "horribly uncertain" after the government's latest announcements.

The South Yorkshire route is still under consultation but one option includes cutting through the Shimmer estate in Mexborough near Doncaster.
The government said a decision would not be made until next year.
Elsewhere, a kilometre-long (0.6-mile) tunnel will be dug under Woodlesford in West Yorkshire.
Originally it was planned to put an HS2 stop for Sheffield at the Meadowhall shopping centre, but opponents said that was too far out of the city centre.
A second option would use the existing city centre station but that would mean laying new track through the Shimmer estate, the construction of which only began a few years ago.
Russell Holmes from the estate said: "The uncertainty of pretty much knowing it's going to be destroyed but not being able to do anything in the meantime, waiting until it happens, waiting for a decision as to when you can actually put something in place to move or whatever, is horrible."
Resident Rachel Ridler said: "For people who love this community who wanted to build their life here, it's more waiting, it's more turmoil.
"I love my house, I love my neighbours, I love my community and I'd hate to be the first person to jump ship then find out they've actually found a way around the estate.
"So I think we'll be here another few years yet."
Rother Valley MP, Kevin Barron, said he would "continue to fight" for the South Yorkshire station to be at Meadowhall with the second option being a "deeply unpopular plan which will ruin villages the length of Yorkshire".
In Woodlesford, where the high speed rail line was originally proposed to run north of the village along the River Aire, the mood is more positive.
Resident and campaigner James Lynch said the tunnel plan "sounds better than a massive viaduct".
He said: "We haven't seen the actual plans, there's still more uncertainty but that's the nature of the beast with HS2.
"We had various objections, the plans for Woodlesford were too disruptive for local residents."
For Crofton near Wakefield, HS2 Ltd is "working up a number of options".
Campaigners had complained that the village would be encircled by railway lines.
Andrew Jones, MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough and minister for HS2, said: "Crofton will be changed by the the new [M18] alignment, but we're still working up those options."
He said consultation on that would begin in 2017.
Paul Sandham, from Crofton Against HS2, lives within 60m of the proposed line.
He said the scheme would "blight" both sides of the village and his campaign group would be "seeking a legal challenge to the two routes".
He said: "It feels appalling, the history of HS2 in this area is one long catalogue of misinformation."
Transport secretary Chris Grayling said in the House of Commons that the route announcement was a "huge commitment to the Midlands and the north".
However, he said he would propose "substantial refinements" for the route through South Yorkshire, including public consultation, before reaching a decision next year.
Shadow transport secretary Andy McDonald said significant details of the route had been "dodged" by the government.
He said it was "imperative" that the voices of affected communities - particularly those in South Yorkshire - were heard.
Sheffield City Council has supported a station in the city centre.
The council said: "Numerous studies demonstrate that stations located in city centres drive more jobs and growth and we know that this will bring much bigger economic benefits not just to Sheffield but to the whole city region.
"We also believe a city centre location is essential for the development of future HS3 connectivity between cities in the north."


A Portsmouth landmark is to be painted blue and gold following an outcry over the use of red in the previous plan.

The city council announced a Â£3.5m deal with airline Emirates to rebrand the Spinnaker Tower earlier this month.
The decision upset 10,000 people who signed a petition against a branding plan as red and white are the colours of football rivals Southampton.
More than 100 litres of red paint, bought in readiness for the work, will now be given away to good causes.
Following "collective feedback", new plans show the tower painted blue and gold.
Blue is the traditional colour of the city of Portsmouth and its football team.
Donna Jones, leader of Portsmouth City Council said: "We have listened to the public and created a new blue, gold and white design that is in keeping with suggestions from residents.
"[It] gives us a unique opportunity to promote Portsmouth around the world."
She said there was "no change at all to the financial deal" following the U-turn.
"We wouldn't have to do any of this if we weren't so desperately short of money. We have a primary school places crisis at the moment - this money is going towards building new classrooms."
However Portsmouth's Liberal Democrat opposition said the saga had made the city the "laughing stock of the country".
Councillor Ben Dowling said: "It's good that the new design isn't red but we still have some fairly serious questions about the process that has taken place.
"Most Portsmouth people are asking 'why didn't we just get asked in the first place?' - someone surely would have pointed out that red wasn't the best idea."
The council said 115 litres of red paint already purchased by the airline would be made available to charities and community organisations in Hampshire.
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates said: "We listened to the feedback and worked with the council to adapt the designs in order to create something that Portsmouth residents will be proud of."
An application for advertising consent has been posted on the Portsmouth City Council website.
It states: "Brand logo and brand name will be adhered to the tower legs and lower ground signage base."
There are currently 13 objections to the plans on the planning site.
A number of them, made before the new design was released, ask for full plans to be made available for public consultation.
One states: "As no pictorial representation accompanies this application it is impossible to judge the acceptability of what is proposed. Therefore I object."
The tower is to be called the Emirates Spinnaker Tower in time for the America's Cup World Series sailing event in July.
Branding will remain in place for five years.
If advertising consent is approved the council will be permitted to have branding on the tower until June 2022.
The 560ft (170m) tower opened in 2005 and is owned by the council but run by a private company.
It is believed a planning committee meeting is to be held on 7 July to discuss the application.


Jeremy Corbyn has urged his supporters to be "a bit cautious" after an opinion poll suggested he will romp to victory in Labour's leadership contest.

The YouGov poll for The Times of 1,400 eligible voters put Mr Corbyn on 53%, 32 points ahead of Andy Burnham.
The left-wing MP said his campaign was "going very well" but ballot papers had not yet been sent out.
Alastair Campbell has warned Labour risks "driving itself off a cliff" if Mr Corbyn is elected.
Tony Blair's former spokesman is urging support for "anyone but Corbyn" in the leadership vote, arguing that the Islington North MP could never win a general election.
Mr Corbyn, a backbencher who was seen as a rank outsider at the start of the campaign, has been packing out meeting halls across the UK, with many of his supporters joining the Labour Party to vote for him.
The party has gained 79,000 members since the general election and 145,000 registered supporters.
If the findings of the YouGov poll were repeated in the leadership election, Mr Corbyn would win without the need for second preferences to be counted.
YouGov president Peter Kellner said he "would personally be astonished if Corbyn does not end up as Labour's leader" despite voting not starting until Friday and the result not being declared until 12 September.
But others were warning about reading too much into one poll, given the difficulties of carrying out a representative survey of Labour's membership and those who have signed up as party supporters.
Joe Twyman, also from YouGov, cautioned that the poll was a snapshot and there was still "a lot to play for" for all of the candidates in the race.
"The ballot papers haven't gone out, we've still got a month to go. What it shows to me is that there's a lot of movement on our previous poll and there still could be a lot of movement in the remaining four weeks," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One.
A spokeswoman for Yvette Cooper's campaign said: "This does not reflect our extensive phone banking data, which does not suggest any single candidate will receive 50% of first preferences."
Mr Corbyn told BBC Radio London his campaign was going "very well" but added: "We should be a little bit cautious."
"There is still time for people to register as supporters and no ballot papers have been sent out yet", the Islington North MP added.
Asked about Mr Campbell's criticism, he said the leadership contest was "very democratic".
He said the large number of new Labour Party members was a "good thing", adding: "If they choose somebody, the leader that others don't like, well I think we have to accept the democratic process."
But he described "Corbynmania" as a "bit embarrassing".
Former Labour Welsh Secretary Peter Hain told the World at One he did not think Mr Corbyn would make a successful party leader, or lead Labour to victory in 2020 "unless there is some kind of major seismic change in British politics".
But he said the choice of candidates on offer was "underwhelming", saying that Andy Burnham and Yvette Cooper,  who he described as "the most credible candidates", had failed to capture "the mood in the party".
At-a-glance profiles of the four contenders
Mr Campbell said on his blog that he thought Mr Corbyn was "an OK guy, a good MP, and his stance clearly chimes with many people's views of anti-austerity" but his ability to lead and hold the party together "is likely to be low".
He added: "Once the pressures of real, difficult decisions and the day to day leadership of the main opposition kick in, I fear that activists currently cashing in on perceived 'betrayal' by past Labour leaders are going to end up feeling very badly let down."
Mr Campbell was criticised by left wing Labour MP and former leadership hopeful Diane Abbott, with the two clashing on Twitter about Labour's record.
On Monday Barry Sheerman became the latest Labour MP to call for the leadership contest to be "paused" over fears it had been infiltrated by supporters of other parties.
These fears have been rejected by Labour, which says robust checks are in place.


Slaughtneil remain on course for a provincial treble after easing to an Ulster club football semi-final victory over Tyrone side Killyclogher.

The Derry club have already secured the Ulster hurling and camogie crowns and they were deserved winners in Armagh.
Slaughtneil led 0-6 to 0-4 at the break and they hit 1-3 without reply on the restart with Meehaul McGrath netting.
Paul Bradley fired over five points for 2014 champions, who will face Kilcoo in the decider in a fortnight.
Down team Kilcoo were also convincing winners on Sunday, scoring four goals in a one-side encounter against Maghery in Newry.
Mark Bradley's point gave Killyclogher an early lead but they failed to capitalise on a first-half wind advantage at the Athletic Grounds.
Paul Bradley slotted over four points while Shane McGuigan and Chris McGuigan were also on target as Slaughtneil went in with a two-point advantage at the interval.
The decisive period of the game came early in the second half, starting with McGrath firing in the only goal after good work from Se McGuigan.
Padraig Cassidy, Christopher Bradley and Paul Bradley pointed to leave Slaughtneil 1-9 to 0-4 ahead and effectively end Killyclogher's hopes of a comeback.
"We had a very specific gameplan and it paid dividends - it was all about getting the result," said Slaughtneil defender Chrissy McKaigue.
"Killyclogher were very difficult to break down in the first half but composure is a trait of our game and we waited for pockets of space to open up in the second half.
"Kilcoo are a well set-up team but we will focus on ourselves for the final.
"The Slaughtneil people are a very united community and have always supported us so it would be special to add the football title to the hurling and camogie successes."


Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill wants his players to stamp their authority on Thursday's crucial Group C match against Ukraine in Lyon.

Media playback is not supported on this device
O'Neill's side, regarded as tournament outsiders, are seeking their first points after an opening loss to Poland.
"Seven teams lost their opening game so it is not as if we have been cut adrift from the tournament," said O'Neill.
"We need to stifle our opponents and exploit their weaknesses. We did the first part of that well against Poland.
The 46-year-old said he had no injury worries for the match at the impressive 58,000-capacity Stade de Lyon.
O'Neill's team will be expected to adopt a more positive approach, rather than the policy of containment employed against Poland.
However, the 46-year-old acknowledged that Ukraine will have targeted this group match as the one they are most likely to win and hinted he may resist the temptation to pick another frontman to partner Kyle Lafferty.
"There are not many teams in this tournament who will play with two out and out strikers," O'Neill said.
"So we have to think about that and whether we will change things during the match.
"We have spent most of our time since the Poland match looking at ways of doing things better.
"The margin between success and failure is so fine. Steven Davis was half an inch from maybe getting an equaliser and that would have put a whole new slant on it."
O'Neill said Ukraine won 12 corners during their opening 2-0 defeat by Germany and pose a big threat at set pieces.
"We recognise their strengths and have to be ready to match their physicality," he added.
It has been confirmed that Northern Ireland's players will wear black armbands against Ukraine in memory of Darren Rodgers, the 24-year-old from Ballymena who died in Nice following his country's game with Poland there.


Ukrainian dance star Sergei Polunin has left the cast of a major new ballet show, Midnight Express, just days before its UK premiere.

Peter Schaufuss, the production's director and choreographer, said Polunin failed to turn up for rehearsals on Wednesday.
The show, based on Billy Hayes's 1977 Turkish prison story, is due to open at London's Coliseum on Tuesday.
Polunin made headlines last year when he unexpectedly quit the Royal Ballet.
A statement on Thursday put Polunin's departure down to "unforeseen circumstances". Johan Christensen from the Peter Schaufuss Ballet, who was rehearsing with Polunin, will take over the title role of Billy Hayes.
Schaufuss told the BBC he was "hugely disappointed" after Polunin, 23, missed rehearsals on Wednesday.
"I saw him on Tuesday evening and he said he really wanted to dance. Since then we haven't seen him and nobody from our team has had any response from him.
"We believe he is still in London - he hasn't checked out of his hotel, but he isn't in his room. I'm really worried about him."
He added: "Artists have good and bad days - that goes with the territory - but rehearsals were going well. I think the role of Billy Hayes was perfect for him. We were at the stage where he was starting to make the role his own."
'Quite confident'
Polunin, who at 19 became the Royal Ballet's youngest male principal, shocked the dance world in January 2012 by unexpectedly quitting a week before he was due to appear as the lead in a production of The Dream.
He later told the BBC that he was no fan of rehearsing, saying that it was only when performing that he enjoyed dancing.
Now based in Russia, Polunin returned to the Royal Ballet in February as a guest dancer to rave reviews in Frederick Ashton's Marguerite and Armand.
Schaufuss said that Polunin had been "quite confident" when he began rehearsals for Midnight Express last month.
The ballet show is a new take on the story of Billy Hayes' six year incarceration in a Turkish prison after being caught smuggling hashish.
The 1978 film version was directed by Alan Parker, with a screenplay by Oliver Stone, and starred Brad Davis and John Hurt.
Hayes himself arrived in London this week to supervise the production.
Schaufuss said the rest of the company was in "good spirits" despite the cast upheaval.
"They are excited that Billy Hayes is here and I'm confident that the company is going to give some great shows," he said.
"I've worked for these performances for the last eight months -  24/7 - so to see it having to change in the last minute is devastating. Now we are under tremendous pressure. But sometimes it is exciting to be against the odds."


A 21-year-old woman from Swanage, Dorset is missing in south Thailand, according to her family, who have posted an online appeal for help.

Grace Taylor, who was backpacking, had been uncontactable since 16 February, her mother Sam Taylor said on Facebook.
The family filed a missing person report to Dorset Police on 21 February.
Then on 22 February, Ms Taylor contacted her family, who booked her a flight home, although her mother said she did not board the flight.
Sam Taylor said her daughter had called from Ao Nang in Krabi province.
Mrs Taylor said Grace Taylor was "very stressed and frightened saying that people were trying to hurt her and were following her and she wanted to come home".
She added that "all previous backpacker sightings have reported that she is disorientated and not in a good mental state".
She appealed to the backpacker community to help locate her daughter.
A member of the family is flying to Thailand to search for Ms Taylor and bring her home, she said.


Some mental health patients in England are being denied timely treatment promised by the government, figures reveal.

The target, intensive treatment within two weeks, was introduced in April 2016 to give mental health the same referral priority as cancer.
Freedom of Information figures suggest a quarter of clinical commissioning groups are ignoring the target.
NHS England says it is investing more money in services, to help meet demand.
The waiting-time target requires that any patient aged 14 to 65 experiencing their first episode of psychosis - a mental health problem that can involve delusions or hallucinations - receives treatment within two weeks of referral.
But the FOI request, sent to the 209 CCGs in England by the Liberal Democrats, shows that in some areas this is not happening.
Of those that responded (170 out of the 209), 23% said they had applied the target to for 14- to 35-year-olds only.  And more than three-quarters of those had no firm plans to extend it to 35- to 65-year-olds this year.
The package of intensive treatment that should ne provided, known as early intervention in psychosis (EIP), involves support for patients from a range of health professionals, including psychiatrists, mental health nurses and social workers, and should match the "best practice" blueprint contained in guidelines laid down by the clinical watchdog NICE.
But documents seen by the BBC suggest most mental health trusts in one part of England were unable to say whether their care package had been delivered in line with the NICE requirements.
NHS England estimates EIP should cost the NHS £8,250 a year per patient.
About 64% of the CCGs that responded to the FOI request did not or could not say what they were spending on EIP, and another 29% said they were spending below £8,250 per patient.  Meanwhile, 32% of the CCGs could not say what their overall planned spending on EIP would be this year.
Liberal Democrats health spokesman Norman Lamb said: "It shows that across the country people are not getting the evidence-based treatment set out in the programme.
"It is like saying to a cancer patient, 'You can have the chemotherapy, but you cannot have the radiotherapy.'"
Sarah Broadbent runs campaign group 25Percent, so named because, over the course of any one year, a quarter of the population is said to suffer from a mental health problem.
Her brother, Matthew, had his first breakdown and psychotic symptoms at the age of 18.
During the two decades since then, he has received care, in and out of hospital, she describes as "patchy at best, negligent at worst".
At the start of her brother's illness, EIP had not been launched in the NHS.
Had it been available, she said, her brother's life would have been very different.
"I'm not suggesting he would have been one of life's high-flyers, but I think he could have gone on to have had a life which has more stability and I think probably joy," she said.
"Matthew's life is very lacking in joy, and a life of 23 years gone by with limited joy and just torment is a pretty punishing way to exist.
"All the evidence supports the fact that early intervention can improve your educational attainment, improve job opportunities and physical health."
An NHS England representative said:  "There will be extra funding for 10% more people to be treated in two weeks from 2017-18, building to £70m a year by 2020-21.
"The evidence stacks up that these services help people recover and gain a good quality of life."
Scotland and Wales have early intervention programmes for serious mental illness, but no standard for waiting times for treatment.
Northern Ireland does not have a similar service.


Childline received a call from children experiencing suicidal thoughts in Northern Ireland almost every day over the course of last year.

In its annual report, the charity said its local workers carried out a total of 349 counselling sessions with children at risk of suicide in 2015/16.
The callers considered most at risk were aged between 12 and 15.
Across the UK as whole, the number of calls from suicidal children almost doubled from the total five years ago.
The figure show that youngsters plagued by suicidal thoughts contacted Childline 19,481 times throughout the UK last year - an average of one call every 30 minutes.
The charity also said girls were more likely to seek its help than boys.
Geraldine McConaghy, a senior supervisor with Childline Northern Ireland, said suicidal thoughts were a result of the "pressures that young people are under".
"They might have poor mental health, they might be feeling pressure from school, pressure within the family," she said.
"When they come to us, what we've noticed is that, on average, one child in Northern Ireland contacts Childline each day who is feeling suicidal."
One 17-year-old girl who contacted the charity last year said she was having difficulties coping at college and finding the lessons "a struggle".
"In the past, I've had to take some time off because I've been suffering with mental health problems," the caller told Childline staff.
"Sometimes I feel so stressed and useless; I just have to walk out.
"I sometimes feel like I want to die."
Childline Northern Ireland's service manager, Mairead Monds, said: "We need to understand that there are children and young people living in Northern Ireland that are experiencing significant mental health problems, self-esteem issues, isolation and feelings of worthlessness.
"These are children who have very little support and who very often feel that life is simply not worth living."


Here Comes When edged out Ribchester in a surprise victory in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood after Churchill was withdrawn before the race.

Pre-race favourite Ribchester rallied late but struggled in wet conditions as Here Comes When, a 20-1 shot, won the £1m Group One race, known as the 'Duel on the Downs'.
Lightning Spear was third.
Churchill, the dual 2000 Guineas winner, was withdrawn after persistent rain changed the going to soft.
Trainer Aidan O'Brien told ITV Sport before the race: "We came here wanting to run and are extremely disappointed but the year is long and hopefully there will be other chances. It is a pity."
Ribchester, trained by Richard Fahey and part of Sheikh Mohammed's resurgent Godolphin string, was successful in this season's Lockinge Stakes and Queen Anne Stakes, but missed out on the chance to complete a Group One hat-trick.
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
A fabulous result for the Here Comes When team, but not a very meaningful one in the scheme of things because of the weather.
Torrential rain tore the guts out of the day for race-goers, and, by turning the going so soft and causing the defection of Churchill, it tore the guts out of the race too.
Here Comes When loves these wet conditions, and is always promising to pop up when no-one much is expecting it, and that's what's happened.
Credit to Ribchester, who rallied late on after losing the lead but failed by a neck.


A charity has abandoned its plans to set up a new youth hostel at a former hotel in Norfolk due to "uncertainty" over its finances.

The YMCA was granted permission to turn the former Two Bears Hotel in Great Yarmouth into 23 flats and a community centre in December.
But the charity has said the project was too much of a financial risk due to uncertainty over government funding.
It said it would instead look to create a smaller hostel in the town.
The YMCA said it was looking to build accomodation at the former GPO exchange building on Hall Quay after it was recently vacated by another charity.
Tim Sweeting from the association said: "We needed to take on a very long lease in order to make it work and unfortunately the financial risk, considering the uncertainty over welfare reform, was just too much for us.
"[The new centre] will have the accommodation, but we won't have the ability to create the community space that we wanted to."
Mike Younger, from James Aldridge Chartered Surveyors which worked on the Two Bears project, said it was likely the former hotel would have to be demolished due to its "deteriorating" state.


The Department for Regional Development has confirmed that almost 17,000 street lights in Northern Ireland do not work.

Tens of thousands of broken street lights may not be repaired over the winter months due to budget cuts.
The department said it will be unable to provide the service the public would expect in normal circumstances.
Last month, the department published its draft budget for next year, containing savings of Â£65m.
There are about 280,000 street lights in Northern Ireland.
Over the summer, the Department for Regional Development (DRD) warned it was suspending the use of external contractors to fix broken lights, unless they pose an "electrical hazard" to the public.
There have been 24,000 outages reported to the DRD and almost 7,500 of them have been cleared.
"It is not the case that no street lighting repairs will be carried out, the department will continue to prioritise all reported faults," a spokesperson said.
"Until further notice, our in-house contractor will endeavour to deal with as many street lighting defects as possible.
"However, they will not be able to provide the service the public would expect in normal circumstances.  Priority will be given to electrical and structural safety defects, followed by large groups of lights out.
"Smaller groups or individual street lights that fail will be lower priority and, unfortunately, many tens of thousands of street lighting defects may not be repaired over the winter months."


Almost all staff at the passport office in Liverpool have taken part in a strike over changes to their pensions.

Out of a total of 550 staff, 537 were not in work, the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) said.
At the Criminal Records Bureau, 485 out of 500 were on strike and at the Ministry of Defence 485 out of 500 were understood to be taking action.
However, the Home Office has disputed the PCS' figures. A spokesman said 190 passport office staff were on strike.
He said 472 people were on strike at the Criminal Records Bureau, out of 637 members of staff.
Nearly 400 schools and colleges were closed on Merseyside while a further 200 were partially closed as members of the National Union of Teachers (NUT), the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) and the University and College Union (UCU) have been on strike.
The unions say the proposals would mean more work and contributions for a reduced pension but the government has said its plans are "fair to taxpayers" while other unions are continuing with negotiations.
Across Merseyside, the numbers the numbers of schools affected were:
PCS has estimated a total of 20,000 members work on Merseyside and claimed a turnout of about 95%.
The Home Office said passport offices remained open.
"Those customers with emergency or compassionate travel needs will be able to get a passport," an Identity and Passport Service spokesman earlier confirmed.
Staff at HMP Liverpool, in Walton, staged protests in their lunch breaks in support of other public sector workers and over fears for their own pensions. The law forbids them from striking.
Job centres were also hit by the strike action.
Thousands of protesters marched from William Brown Street to the city's Chinatown for a rally, carrying placards, flags and leaflets bearing slogans such as "Fight the Cuts!" and "Unity is Strength".
Strikers blew whistles and chanted: "No ifs, no buts, no public sector cuts."
The procession was flanked by officers from Merseyside Police and a force helicopter hovered overhead.
One member of staff from Liverpool's passport office, in Old Hall Street, said: "I don't want to strike but I can't afford not to.
"If we don't make a stand now it is not just us, our children will suffer as well."
Alec McFadden, president of Merseyside TUC, said: "The response from the public has been great. People on buses have been waving, people in cars beeping their horns.
"Workers are coming out of their buildings applauding us.
"Even the police have been saying, 'thank God somebody is doing something, we are not allowed to go on strike'."
Bev Dickson, a mother-of-two, who runs Warrington-based financial recruitment consultancy Dickson O'Brien Associates, was one of the thousands of parents who had to take time off work or make alternative childcare arrangements.
She said: "I've had to rearrange my work schedule and have worked from home this morning, but have managed to get a childminder for the afternoon.
"While I sympathise with the teachers wholeheartedly, working in recruitment I've seen a lot of examples of people in the private sector having their pay and benefits hit - and unfortunately it's a sign of the time.
"I've seen in my clients an acceptance of the economic situation and an understanding that people have to knuckle down and take the hit."
The Ministry of Justice said Liverpool Crown Court had put contingency plans in place when it became clear the strikes would go ahead.
The PCS said only 10 out of 96 members of staff were in work.
Of the 22 court rooms in the complex, only two were sitting, the PCS said. They heard a sentencing and bail applications.


A new night flight helicopter has been launched by the Thames Valley Air Ambulance (TVAA) in order to respond to more incidents.

Currently TVAA operates from 07:00 until 19:00, but the new Airbus H135 with specialist night-vision kit can continue until 02:00.
TVAA chairman Sir Tim Jenner said the new helicopter could "save more lives" because of the extra operating hours.
The new extended hours will start in the new year once training is complete.
The charity, which covers Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, said the service would be operated by a day and night crew using the same helicopter.
It recently recruited and trained two new paramedics and three new emergency medical doctors.
Sir Tim said: "The new helicopter with its night flying capabilities will allow us to extend our hours of coverage and enable our medical crews to respond to more emergency call outs, saving more lives."
South Central Ambulance Service provides the paramedic crew members while the charity funds the helicopter, its associated costs and the majority of the medical service.
It said the 02:00 end time was due to shift patterns, the lack of calls relating to major trauma beyond that time, and the need for the helicopter to be four hours on the ground for maintenance work.
Its previous helicopter has been returned to TVAA's aviation partner, Bond Air Services Ltd.
In its 15th year, the service has carried out 863 missions in 2014, which includes attending 310 road traffic collisions and responding to 265 medical emergencies.


Train passengers across England are to be hit by further strike action, RMT officials have said.

Arriva Rail North staff will walk out for three days from 8 July, while Merseyrail staff will strike on 8, 10 and 23 July, the final day of The Open.
Workers at Southern also plan to walk out on 10 July.
The RMT is in dispute with the rail companies over driver-only-operated trains which they say would be unsafe and lead to widespread job losses.
The strike will also clash with the British Style Collective, the Clothes Show's big event in Liverpool from 7 - 9 July.
RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said any responsibility for disruption to services lay with the companies and their refusal to enter meaningful talks with the union.
"It is that flagrant disregard for the safety issues at the heart of the dispute which leaves us with no option but to press on with the campaign of strike action," he added.
However, Richard Allen, deputy managing director for Arriva-run Northern, said he was "deeply disappointed and hugely frustrated" by the announcement of further action.
"Only this week we wrote to RMT again, urging them to engage in meaningful modernisation talks with us.
"We have been clear that for all our conductors we are prepared to guarantee jobs and current pay, and continue with annual pay reviews, if we can reach agreement with RMT," Mr Allen said.
He added fresh industrial action would not solve the dispute.
Merseyrail's managing director Jan Chaudhry-van der Velde criticised the timing of the strike which he said was designed to "cause maximum disruption to people attending the last day of the Open Golf at Royal Birkdale".
Mr van der Velde claimed the company "brought several new initiatives to the table in the last round of talks, the RMT is unprepared to work with us to find middle ground".
"While we, as always, will do our best to minimise disruption, our passengers should not be made to suffer at the hands of the RMT, and the Liverpool City Region should not be caught in the cross-fire of a national dispute directed by unions in London."
The latest strike announcement comes as a long-awaited report into the troubled Southern rail franchise has blamed the unions for widespread disruption over the last year.


Jaromir Jagr became the second highest points scorer in NHL history as his Florida Panthers side lost to the Boston Bruins on Thursday.

The Czech winger, 44, produced an assist in the Panthers' 3-1 defeat to reach a total of 1,888 career points.
Jagr is now clear of the late Gordie Howe (1,850) and a point ahead of Mark Messier in the all-time standings.
However, Jagr, who has played for eight NHL sides since 1990, trails NHL legend Wayne Gretzky by 969 points.
He would have had a higher NHL tally had he not moved to play in Russia for three years between 2008 and 2011.
Thursday's game at the BB&T Center in Florida was stopped after the Panthers' goal, allowing Jagr to receive a commemorative golden stick from the team.
"I appreciate everything... over my hockey career, and I thank the fans," said Jagr, who began his NHL career in 1990 when he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Bruins moved third in the Eastern Conference with the win, while the Panthers are fifth.


A man who sexually assaulted a teenager and raped a woman while they were sleeping has been jailed for six years.

Darren McCutcheon, 31, from Springburn, Glasgow, was convicted of attacking the 17-year-old at a house in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, in December 2012.
He was also found guilty of raping the second victim at a different address in the town on 19 April last year.
At the High Court in Edinburgh, McCutcheon was also placed on the sex offenders' register indefinitely.
Jailing him, judge Lord Woolman told McCutcheon: "On each occasion the victim was asleep and under the influence of alcohol."
The judge said his behaviour had caused "great distress and harm" and added: "There must be a clear message to deter you and others from such conduct."
Lord Woolman also ordered that McCutcheon be placed under supervision for a further two-year period after his release.
McCutcheon had denied assaulting the teenager on 8 December 2012 by going into the bed where she was sleeping at a house in Hamilton.
He also denied raping a woman at an address in the town more than two years later.
The court heard that father-of-one McCutcheon maintained that he was innocent of the crimes and claimed that the second woman had consented to intercourse.
He told the writer of a background report that he could not understand why two women should independently allege that he committed similar offences.


A grandmother who drowned in a choppy sea off Anglesey may have been trying to save her pet dog, an inquest heard.

Toni Robinson, 65, from Northampton, had been on a break with her husband in Moelfre when she was found in the sea by an angler last October.
A lifeboat was at the scene within minutes and Mrs Robinson was given CPR, but she was pronounced dead on arrival at a Bangor hospital.
Coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones recorded a conclusion of accidental death.
The inquest in Caernarfon heard evidence from one of the lifeboat men there was a swell of up to 3m (10ft), with waves breaking over the rocks.
He said if someone had fallen in the sea it would not be easy to get out.
Pathologist Dr Mark Lord said Mrs Robinson, who had recently retired after running an award-winning restaurant and pub for 22 years, died from drowning.
He said he believed injuries to her hands and fingernails could have arisen when she tried to get out of the water against the rocks.
The coroner said: "My guess - you can't put it any stronger - based on weak evidence, is that the dog probably fell into the sea and she tried to recover it and fell in herself.
"She tried to get out but failed because of the rocky nature of the coastline and she drowned."


Flood defences are being bolstered in the east of England as coastal communities brace themselves for a predicted storm surge overnight.

Seventeen severe flood warnings have been issued - meaning there is a danger to life - for the Norfolk and Suffolk coastlines.
About 200 Army troops have arrived in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, to help evacuate more than 5,000 homes.
But about 70% of residents refused to leave, police said.
In Essex, residents in Jaywick, Mistley and West Mersea have been told to leave their homes - with high tide expected to hit the area at about 00:15 GMT on Saturday.
About 140 people have taken shelter at Tendring Education Centre in Clacton.
Essex Police said there was a "mixed" response from residents to the planned evacuation.
Ch Insp Russ Cole said: "We have seen numbers of people using the rest centres in Jaywick increase steadily during the late afternoon.
"I still need anyone who has not yet evacuated their property to do so immediately.
"The flood warning for high tide after midnight remains at severe and there is a threat to life."
More than 10,000 sandbags have been made available in Great Yarmouth to help protect properties.
The risk of flooding was expected to peak at 21:30 on Friday, but fears of a storm surge were not as bad as expected.
Norfolk Police thanked residents and volunteers for their support "in ensuring that the flood risks were minimised".
In a statement, the force said the Environment Agency had been unable to predict just how bad the situation might be as the likelihood of flooding was "so finely balanced".
The Bascule Bridge in Lowestoft was closed earlier, but has since reopened.
The Mutford Lock Bridge in Oulton Broad has also reopened after being closed earlier.
Train passengers heading to and from Lowestoft were prevented from travelling after 20:00 GMT.
Lowestoft train station and the lines which run into and out of the station closed early.
Further along the Norfolk coast, 80 homes were evacuated in Walcott, south of Cromer.
People were also removed from a further 15 properties in Salthouse.
Supt Dave Buckley, of Norfolk Police, said: "This is a significant policing operation underlined by the numbers of properties affected."
He added: "We understand people will be anxious, but this action is necessary on the back of the latest information from the Environment Agency which suggests the threat is significant."
Half of the troops providing assistance in Great Yarmouth are from the Wiltshire-based King's Royal Hussars.
The other 100 are gunners from RAF Honington in Suffolk.

LIVE: The latest in Suffolk where nine severe flood warnings are in place
High tides passes Lincolnshire without incident
From the BBC:
Elsewhere:
Suffolk Police said about 1,880 properties were at risk of flooding in the county.
The combination of high winds and high spring tides led to water flooding on to seafront roads along the North Yorkshire coastline as high tide occurred on Friday afternoon.
Areas affected included Whitby and Scarborough, where high waves hit temporary flood defences attached to businesses.
At Hornsea in East Yorkshire a family had to be rescued from a car on the town's promenade as the area flooded.
It came as the East Riding of Yorkshire Council began evacuating about 30 properties at risk of flooding in the town.
People living in coastal communities in parts of West Sussex and Hampshire have also been warned to be prepared.
What causes a storm surge?
The principal cause of a storm surge is high winds pushing the seawater towards the coast.
There is also a smaller contribution from the low pressure at the centre of the storm "pulling" the water level up - a similar effect to what happens when you drink through a straw.
The strong winds can generate large waves on top of the surge which can then damage sea defences or cause water to spill over the top of defences, which increases the flood risk to coastal communities.

The trial of a paranoid schizophrenic accused of murdering his parents has heard that he took to sleeping with an axe for protection.

Kathleen and Jimmy Cuddihy, who were in their 70s, were found dead just outside their home in Carndonagh in 2014.
Julian Cuddihy admits killing his parents but has pleaded not guilty to murder by reason of insanity.
On Wednesday, Dublin's Central Criminal Court heard evidence from the family's consultant psychiatrist.
Dr Damian Mohan also revealed that Kathleen and Jimmy Cuddihy had cancelled a mental health appointment for their son six days before their death.
He told the court that they were concerned about the stigma associated with mental health.
Mrs Cuddihy, in particular, did not want him to be committed and worried that he would resent them if they had him hospitalised against his will.
At that time Mr Cuddihy was refusing to eat because he believed his mother was trying to poison him.
The court heard that he could not sleep because he worried that people were stealing his thoughts while he slept and he believed he could prevent aliens from reading his mind if he joined the IRA.
The defendant had become convinced that people were conspiring against him and had taken to sleeping in an annex attached to the family home with an axe for protection.
Dr Mohan said the defendant's symptoms had been building for several years and in December 2013 the family met their GP to discuss the possibility of having him committed but the decision was deferred.
By October 2014 his behaviour was so erratic that his siblings felt he needed immediate psychiatric help.
Dr Mohan said the parents shared their family's concerns but "did not want to follow through".
He told the court that the family was extremely unified and loving and only ever wanted what was best for Mr Cuddihy but he added that mental illness is treatable with early intervention.
In the days and weeks leading up to the attack on his parents, Julian Cuddihy confided in Dr Mohan that he heard voices telling him what to do and believed that he was going to be taken away by aliens.
His paranoia led him to believe that people were conspiring against him and that his mother was trying to poison him.
On the night of the killing, he heard her voice in his head telling him: "I want you to kill me and your father."
He believed that by killing them he was sending them to heaven.
A Garda (Irish police) detective confirmed to the court details of how Mr and Ms Cuddihy died.
A post-mortem described multiple wounds to the head consistent with blows from an axe that caused severe head trauma.
There were stab wounds to Mr Cuddihy's neck, chest and face that could have been caused by a pair of scissors found close to the body.
Mrs Cuddihy had suffered at least seven blows to the head, some of which it is believed were inflicted while she was lying down unconscious or already dead.
The detective also recalled an interview with Mr Cuddihy on 24 October, two days after the double killing.
Mr Cuddihy  was asked if he knew what would happen when he struck his parents with the axe.
"I believed their lives were going to pass on to the unifying field. I knew they were going to die.
"When the switch turned on I knew they were going to die," Julian Cuddihy said, adding that he did it "as quickly and painlessly as possible".
The trial continues.


Veterans involved in the Dunkirk rescue mission during World War Two are to gather to remember their comrades.

They will visit the British Memorial at Dunkirk Military Cemetery on Friday, 75 years after the evacuation.
A series of events is planned at the French town this weekend to commemorate the rescue of Allied troops.
On Thursday, about 50 "little ships" involved in the evacuation of troops from its beaches sailed from Kent. Such a trip is staged every five years.
Operation Dynamo, between 26 May and 4 June 1940, saw hundreds of boats of all types rescue 338,000 troops from France after they had retreated from Nazi forces.
This year's main commemorative event will be on Saturday, when an official service will take place at the Allied Beach Memorial in Dunkirk.
There will then be a parade of military vehicles and bands through the streets.
On Sunday a memorial plaque will be unveiled at the site of the MV Crested Eagle, a paddle steamer which was sunk with 300 soldiers on board.
There will also be a commemorative service for the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships (ADLS) on the quayside in Dunkirk.
The ADLS has organised sailings across the English Channel since 1970 in honour of the fishing boats, pleasure yachts and lifeboats that took part.
In 1940, their crews had heeded the government's request to help British, French and Belgian troops stranded after a German advance.
Historians say if the evacuation had not been a success, the allied war effort may have been critically damaged.
Among those sailing with the ADLS was Michael Bentall, 94, who came over from Ontario in Canada for the event.
In 1940 he was a soldier in the 4th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment, and marched almost 120 miles to the beaches near Dunkirk to escape the German advance.
Eventually he found a rowing boat and was picked up by a navy ship during the rescue mission.
He said: "I didn't come here because I was feeling I had to come because of myself, it was for the chaps that I was with.
"I feel very lucky that I managed to get away in one sense, but I am also sad that I lost so many friends, pals and comrades. I don't understand how I have lived so long."
Aside from Operation Dynamo, two other troop evacuations from France were carried out.
Operation Cycle evacuated allied troops from Le Havre from 10 to 13 June 1940.
And Operation Ariel was carried out between 15 and 25 June, transporting many thousands of troops to Britain from locations which included Cherbourg, St Malo, Brest, St Nazaire and La Pallice.
Between Operation Cycle and Ariel, some 191,870 troops were rescued.

Billy Gilmour could have emulated former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson had he stayed at Ibrox, Scottish FA performance director Malky Mackay believes.

The 16-year-old midfielder opted instead to sign for Premier League champions Chelsea this summer.
Mackay advised Gilmour, and his parents, he should remain with Rangers.
"There's a good chance, in the next 18 months, Billy could have got into that Rangers first-team," Mackay said.
"I did speak to Billy and his mum and dad as an independent, and someone who had been a manager in England and had dealings with young players who had the possibility of going to Manchester City.
"It is quite evident why they decided to do what they did."
Ferguson won five top-flight titles, five Scottish Cups and five Scottish League Cups over two spells at Ibrox.
"I would have loved to have seen him stay at Rangers and, by the time he was 21, we'd have an incredibly exciting talent," Mackay continued.
"I really hope he goes out on loan quickly to someone and keeps progressing. I need good Scottish talent coming through.
"He's not physically ready for Rangers' first-team, but in 18 months' time, when he is 17-and-a-half, 18, that's when he becomes a Barry Ferguson.
"Barry had played 200 games for Rangers by the time he was 21."
As 48 children poised to begin high school in the new term enter the SFA's four-year performance schools programme, Mackay has also issued a warning to the nation's latest batch of budding footballers.
The seven schools aim to ensure Scotland's top young players combine their football education with their normal curriculum between the ages of 12 and 16.
"The demands me and my coaches will put on them will be England Premier League standard," Mackay said. "I said to them, what they think is hard work, double it, then you might have a chance.
"They need to realise how much sacrifice they need to make in their lives over the next few years, how hard they are going to have to work, on their own, away from everyone.
"When they have to do extra work on their own, sacrifice going out with their friends, sacrifice going to the cinema when they have to train, sacrifice what they eat and drink to make sure that their bodies are in a situation where they can play professional football.
"That's what I would urge the players to realise: what they think is hard work is nowhere near it.
"There will be ones who fall away and ones who can't handle it, but I want to make sure we show them the path that is open to them."
Referencing Scotland Under-20s' performance in the Toulon Tournament during June, where the Scots beat Indonesia, Brazil and Czech Republic, Mackay stressed the importance of young players being granted opportunities to play for their clubs.
"Three of the best players in that tournament played 25 games and up for Kilmarnock last year - Adam Frizzell, Iain Wilson, Greg Taylor," the former Cardiff City boss said.
"The only reason they played was the experiment of a bus-full of loan players coming up from England didn't work and the manager had to turn to them.
"And all of a sudden, these kids come in, hold their own and, the next minute, they're confidently holding their own over in Toulon.
"Our youngsters have to get chances. For that to happen, the manager has to be relaxed enough to know he's got more than six weeks in a job.
"Sometimes it's about a club view. If a club decides it's going to go down a route, it needs to back the manager or tell the manager: this is the route we're going down, you will play some young players and we will take the consequences of that.
"But it allows the manager to then play some youngsters coming through into their first-teams.
"Hamilton Academical are a huge example of that - no matter what, that manager knows he's got the backing of the people above him, there is actually a plan at the club that, if they are going to invest so heavily in their academy, which they do, they are going to be flourishing with players coming through.
"Why are the players not coming through? They've got to be given a chance - if they are good enough."


The success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens helped fuel record UK box office takings in 2015, figures show.

The British Film Institute (BFI) revealed takings were up 17% from the previous year, at £1.24bn.
Cinema admissions also rose 9% with 171.9 million tickets sold, while money spent on film production was £1.41bn - the second-highest amount on record.
It is the first year since 2012 that both admissions and box office takings have risen.
Five films took more than £40m at the UK box office in 2015 - compared to just one, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, in 2014.
The Force Awakens, released in December, took £114m and is now the UK's most successful film of all time.
Spectre, the latest release in the James Bond franchise, was second with takings of £94.7m, with Jurassic World in third place with £64.5m.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron took £48.3m and Minions was fifth with £47.7m.
The BFI also said UK independent films took an 11% market share in 2015 - the third highest on record. Eight of them took more than £5m at the box office.
The highest-grossing independent film was Tom Hardy's Legend, in which he played the Kray twins, and took £18.4m. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel came in second place, taking £16m.
The UK's film production spend figure is a decrease of 6% on 2014's record total of £1.49bn - with films made that year including The Force Awakens and Age of Ultron.
Amanda Nevill, chief executive of the BFI, said: "With spend from film production over £1.4bn, audiences flocking to cinemas and UK box office topping £1.2bn for the first time, today's numbers show a golden age of British film continuing - and underlines film's important contribution to the UK economy.
"It's significant that a wide range of fantastic British independent films won the hearts and minds of audiences in a hugely competitive year, but it's clear that the market is still tough for the makers and distributors of independent and specialised films."
Culture minister Ed Vaizey hailed the figures as "great news".


More details have been announced for this year's Irish famine commemoration, which is being held in Northern Ireland for the first time.

The annual event commemorates the 19th Century potato famine that devastated the island of Ireland.
About 1m people died from starvation and disease between 1846 and 1851, while another 1.5m emigrated.
The Irish government launched the programme in Newry, County Down, which is hosting the main event in September.
Irish Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Heather Humphreys attended the launch in the city on Saturday.
The main ceremony will take place at the Albert Basin in Newry, close to the Quays shopping centre.
Irish state broadcaster, RTÃ‰, reported that the programme will include a series of lectures and musical events at the Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh, County Tyrone.
Warrenpoint Harbour in County Down, from where thousands of emigrants left Ireland to escape the famine, will also be used as a memorial venue.
The annual famine commemoration was established in 2008.
In April, Ms Humphreys announced that it would be held in Northern Ireland for the first time.
As well as Irish government funding, the event also receives support from Northern Ireland's Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure.


This shocking video shows a cyclist coming within seconds of being hit by a train at a level crossing in Cambridgeshire.

2 October 2013 Last updated at 16:19 BST
She had ignored barriers and warning signs of the oncoming train.
The train driver applied the emergency brakes when he saw the woman - she then stepped back, narrowly avoiding being hit.
Richard Schofield, who's in charge of the train line where this happened, said: "This is one of the closest incidents of near miss we've seen.
"The person using the crossing not only didn't hear the train but ignored the warning lights and barriers, putting her life, the lives of passengers and the train driver in danger."
Jay Thompson, Head of Safety at the train company Greater Anglia said: "It is really important that everyone follows the safety instructions at level crossings."


An elite hacker who was due to demonstrate how heart implants could be hacked has died unexpectedly in San Francisco.

Barnaby Jack died on Thursday, the city's medical examiner's office told Reuters, but did not give more details.
He had been due to give a presentation into medical device vulnerabilities at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas taking place next week.
He had said one technique could kill a man from 30 feet (nine metres) away.
IOActive, the security firm at which Mr Jack was director of embedded devices, said it was preparing a statement.
In a tweet, the company said: "Lost but never forgotten our beloved pirate, Barnaby Jack has passed."
His sister Amberleigh Jack, who lives in New Zealand, told Reuters news agency he was 35.
Mr Jack became one of the most famous hackers on the planet after a 2010 demonstration in which he hacked a cash machine, making it give out money. The technique was dubbed "Jackpotting".
More recently, he emerged as a leading expert in the weaknesses that could be found in medical technology.
Last year, he told the BBC about how he had discovered flaws in widely-used insulin pumps which allowed him to compromise the devices.
The hack made it possible to control them and administer a fatal level of insulin, Mr Jack said.
"My purpose was not to allow anyone to be harmed by this because it is not easy to reproduce," he told the BBC during an interview in April 2012.
"But hopefully it will promote some change in these companies and get some meaningful security in these devices."
Mr Jack's expertise and vivid demonstrations of his knowledge at events like Black Hat earned him the respect of many security professionals.
Amberleigh Jack thanked those who have been posting messages of sympathy online.
"So humbled by the social media flood of people that loved @barnaby_jack," she tweeted.
"Thank you all so much for your kind words."


Strippers in Louisiana are suing the US state, claiming a new law banning dancers under the age of 21 from working hinders freedom of expression.

A new state law, that will come into force next week, demands all exotic dancers be 21 or older.
The women behind the lawsuit say the measure breaches the First Amendment by denying them freedom of expression.
They also say the legislation violates an equal protection cause in the constitution by targeting women only.
This is because the law refers to "entertainers whose breasts or buttocks are exposed to view", ensuring that male dancers under the age of 21 are not affected.
All the women in the lawsuit, filed on Thursday in Louisiana, are under the age of 21. They are named only as Jane Doe I, II and III.
The Times-Picayune newspaper, which has seen the details of the lawsuit, says it states that one of the three dancers works in a New Orleans strip club.
It says she has witnessed pimps and prostitutes using the threat of the new law to try to "recruit entertainers who are now lawfully employed, but who will lose their jobs as a result of the Act".
The lawsuit also reportedly states that one of the dancers, an 18-year-old student, had been told by colleagues under the age of 21 they planned to turn to prostitution once they lost their jobs.
The women's lawyer, Harry Rosenberg, was unavailable for comment when contacted by the BBC.
Governor John Bel Edwards signed the legislation last month.
Senator Ronnie John, who supported it, said the move would prevent human trafficking and ensure the safety of women.
The age of consent in Louisiana is 17.


Yakubu is paying for entry to Boreham Wood matches according to boss Luke Garrard, who is "trying his hardest" to sign the former Nigeria striker.

The 33-year-old ex-Everton forward has been training with the National League side since the summer.
The free agent has not signed a deal, but has been teaching younger players.
"Yak is courteous, he comes and watches the games, he pays entrance. He's fully on board with what I'm doing and what the club are doing," Garrard said.
Garrard initially got in touch with Yakubu, who lives close to Wood's Hertfordshire ground, through a mutual friend after the forward returned to England following a spell in the Turkish top flight with Kayserispor.
While Garrard has been as yet unable to convince him to sign, Yakubu has been giving advice to 21-year-old Morgan Ferrier - a striker who has scored seven goals in 13 matches this term.
"I'm trying my hardest to get him to sign a contract," Garrard told BBC Three Counties Radio. "But as it stands I don't know where he's going or what he has planned.
"No disrespect to Morgan, Yak has been taking him under his wing the last three or four weeks and as long as he comes in and does that I'm happy to have Yak at the club.
"He teaches things I haven't seen because he's played at the highest level and in fairness to Morgan he's all eyes and ears."
