Bono urged US President-elect Donald Trump to prioritise gender equality as he accepted Glamour magazine's inaugural Man of the Year award.

The U2 frontman was recognised after his One campaign launched a Poverty is Sexist movement last year.
"I say to the president-elect: look across to women, make equality a priority, it is the only way forward."
Mr Trump has been widely criticised by his detractors for his attitude towards women.
Women's groups and feminist associations are organising a mass protest in Washington DC for 21 January, the day after Mr Trump will be sworn into office.
Many take issue with his previous comments about women, and are concerned that he has been accused by women of sexual assault. Mr Trump has denied all sexual assault allegations and said "no one respects women more than I do."
At the ceremony for Glamour's Women of the Year Awards in Los Angeles, Bono said: "I know how ridiculous it is for me to be on this stage accepting this award. But if I didn't know how ridiculous it was, I did have the blessed internet to remind me.
"As my daughter Jordan says, there is nowhere on earth where women have the same opportunities as men," he added.
"Unless we address this problem, both men and women together, the world will continue down this misogynistic, violent and impoverished path.
"The train is leaving the station, be on it or be under it."
Other winners included International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde, who won the lifetime achievement award, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and singer Gwen Stefani.
Patrisse Cullors, Opal Tometi, and Alicia Garza, the founders of the #BlackLivesMatter campaign, were also recognised. It was set up in the US three years ago in response to police killings of black men.
Many on social media felt it was risible to give a man of the year award at a women's event.
Indeed, the irony wasn't lost on Bono himself, who described it as "ridiculous".
Comedy writer Travon Free tweeted "Does Glamour magazine know giving Bono the Woman of the Year award to try to undo patriarchy undercuts the entire point of the award?"
Another user named Stephanie Peat tweeted: "Bono has been named Glamour's woman of the year. To be fair with only 3.7 billion women it must be tough to find a worthy one."
But a friend of the star's, CNN's Christiane Amanpour, wrote a robust defence of the decision, arguing that men should take women's issues on board.
And Glamour's editor-in-chief Cindi Leive said they had talked for years about including a man but had always ruled it out. But she said "it started to seem that that might be an outdated way of looking at things".
"There are so many men who really are doing wonderful things for women these days. Some men get it and Bono is one of those guys," she said.
At the ceremony, actress Amber Heard read the victim impact statement of the survivor of the Stanford sexual assault case, known only as Emily Doe.
The letter went viral earlier this year amid criticism of the six-month sentence handed to former swimming champion Brock Turner for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman in 2015.
He was released in September after serving half of his term.
Heard and Hollywood star Johnny Depp settled their divorce earlier this year, saying neither of them intended to cause the other any physical or emotional harm.
In a joint statement, the pair acknowledged their relationship had been "volatile".

Shopping centres in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, say they will be halving their opening times to four hours a day.

The move will allow them to comply with government energy rationing.
Ministers says a severe drought caused by El Nino has brought 18 of the country's hydro-electric dams to critically low water levels.
A spokesman for the country's retail association said the drop in working hours would have an impact on jobs.
The state energy corporation (Corpoelec) had wanted cuts twice a day, between 1pm and 3pm and then again between 7pm and 9pm.
The retail association, The Chamber of Venezuelan Commercial Centres (Cavececo), said  it had made an alternative proposal:  that shops should open late at 12:00 and close at 19:00 saving five hours of energy use daily.
But they had not received a response to this suggestion, the organisation said.
"To turn the lights off at one in the afternoon and not to be able to work would have a huge impact on our business," said Mleidys Galves who works in a pizzeria in the Lider Shopping Centre in Caracas.
"That is our peak selling time when people come out to eat lunch."
Cavececo said opening and closing twice in a day would be disastrous for banking operations, health centres, servicing companies, pharmacies, supermarkets and particularly restaurants that depended on electrical energy to preserve and refrigerate their products.
However, the reduction to only four hours a day would also have an impact on businesses that ran two work shifts which represents around 75% of employees in shopping centres.
The government has also asked private residences to start saving energy and has been rationing domestic water supplies since January.


A benefactor has handed a reward of $390,000 to the Nigerian Olympic football team in Brazil after the West African country won bronze on Saturday.

Japanese plastic surgeon Katsuya Takasu had promised to reward the team  after hearing about their financial difficulties before and during the tournament.
Takasu fulfilled his promise by presenting cheques of $200,000 and $190,000 to coach Samson Siasia and captain John Mikel Obi respectively on behalf of the team.
He met with them two hours after Nigeria defeated Honduras 3-2 in the bronze medal play-off.
"The $200,000 covers the bonuses and allowances as promised and the $190,000 is for the bronze medal," Takasu told BBC Sport.
"I had travelled from Tokyo prepared to reward them anyway, and to watch them win the bronze inside the stadium was very fulfilling," he added.
Before arriving in Rio, Nigeria's 'Dream Team VI' were held up in Atlanta, USA, because of a problem with the payment for their flight, and they only landed in Brazil just hours before their opening 5-4 win over Japan.
Nigeria also had a troubled build-up to their quarter-final against Denmark after the players boycotted a training session in a dispute over pay.
"This team showed resilience and fought the hardest to achieve success, despite all their problems - some people would have given up but they didn't," said Takasu.
"In everything we must always let people understand that they are appreciated and not just in football but generally in life."
Coach Siasia, who becomes the most decorated African football coach at the Olympics having won a silver medal in Beijing in 2008, thanked Takasu for his generosity and support.
"We can't thank doctor Takasu enough because what he has done is amazing and unbelievable, we didn't see this coming when we set out for the Olympics" Siasia told BBC Sport.
"It's not just about the money. You can't equate his gesture in figures or words, to find a big supporter far away in Japan travel down here to cheer and back us is unbelievable.
"I can only say a big thank you on behalf of my team and country, we pray God continue to bless him abundantly," Siasia added.
Nigeria, the 1996 Olympic football champions, are now the most successful African country in Olympic men's football, and the first African country to complete an Olympic medal sweep having won a sliver medal in Beijing in 2008.
Takasu's swift financial reward is in sharp contrast to the unfulfilled promises back home.
Some members of Nigeria's Super Eagles - led by Stephen Keshi, who passed away in June - are still waiting for the houses they were promised by the government for winning the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia.
Keshi is the fifth member of the so-called 'Golden Generation' of Nigerian footballers from 1994 to pass away, after Uche Okafor, Thompson Oliha, Rashidi Yekini and Wilfred Agbonavbare.
Africa's wealthiest businessman, Aliko Dangote, has failed to fulfil his promise to reward Nigeria's team with $1m for winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigerian economist and banker Tony Elumelu's promise of $500,000 for the Super Eagles' Nations Cup success in South Africa remains outstanding.
The country's squad members who won the first Fifa Under-16 World championship in 1985 were only rewarded after a 30-year wait.
However, the rewards came too late for Kingsley Aikhionbare, who died in London in 1996. At the presentation to the players, a minute's silence was held in his honour.


The nation's hopes will be pinned on Lucie Jones this year as she heads to Eurovision in the hope of reversing the UK's poor run of recent form.

Yet with 24 songs in contention at Kiev, it's anybody's guess who'll be leaving Ukraine with the famous glass microphone trophy in their hands.
We've listened to all of them on your behalf and have picked eight tracks we think will make a splash at Saturday's grand final.
There is more than a dash of The Shires to this melodious slice of ukelele-backed folk from Belarussian duo Artem Lukyanenko and Ksenia Zhuk.
Pointedly sung in their native language, it's a jaunty holler whose references to "new desires and better ideas" could be read as a coded rebuke to neighbouring Russia.
Belarus have only made it past the semis on four occasions since joining the contest in 2004.
Could the first entry to be sung in the country's native tongue see it better its best ever showing - a sixth-place finish in 2007?
Watch the video.
Think Lana Del Ray and Lorde with a sprinkling of Birdy and you have this moodily credible slice of indie pop from 17-year-old Blanche.
Real name Ellie Delvaux, she'll be hoping to continue Belgium's recent run of top 10 finishes after a lengthy period in which it struggled to make it past the semis.
"All alone in the danger zone, are you ready to take my hand?" she moans over a dark soundscape of ambient electronica.
Belgium were the last country to be confirmed as finalists at the end of Tuesday's semi-final, prompting a massive sigh of relief and more than a few tears.
Russia's departure from this year's competition could work in favour of 17-year-old Kostov, the youngest performer at Kiev and the first Eurovision entrant to be born in this century.
Born in Moscow in March 2000, he could pick up a lot of the votes that would have gone to Russia's Julia Samoilova were she still participating in the contest.
His dramatic self-penned ballad is also a stirring enough composition to put him on course to better the fourth-place finish Bulgaria's Poli Genova managed last year.
Indeed, Kristian could go all the way to the top - provided, of course, he does better than this guyâ€¦
A firm favourite with both the fans and the bookies, Italy's entrant is the one to beat this year.
An irresistible explosion of playful pop with a sing-along chorus, Occidentali's Karma - Westerner's Karma in English - also comes with a dancing gorilla that will be sure to send the audience bananas on Saturday.
The gorilla, explains Gabbani, derives from Desmond Morris's seminal work The Naked Ape - referred to in the lyrics - and its theory that we are all simians under the skin.
As one of the so-called "big five", Italy get a free pass into the final along with the UK, France, Germany, Spain and host nation Ukraine.
Remember Epic Sax Guy, the saxophone-playing Moldovan who became an internet sensation after performing at Eurovision in 2010?
Well, Sergey Stepanov is back to represent the former Soviet republic again with the other two members of Sunstroke Project, violinist Anton Ragoza and vocalist Sergei Yalovitsky.
This year's offering is an upbeat slice of pure pop froth that comes with backing singers in wedding gowns and plenty of opportunities for Stepanov to blow his own trumpet.
Moldova's last appearance in the final came in 2013 when they finished 11th.
Watch the video.
Amidst Eurovision's sea of generic Anglophone pop, this lush Portuguese love song stands out like a rebellious rose in a garden of dandelions.
So does Salvador Sobral himself, his man-bun, Pacino-esque features and air of genial scruffiness setting him apart as surely as if he'd arrived wearing a clown's costume.
Written by Sobral's sister Luisa, Amar Pelos Dois translates into English as Love for the Two of Us.
There's a lot of love for Portugal's entry this year - not least because Salvador has a serious heart condition that saw him miss the first week of rehearsals.
Don't be surprised if we see the land of the fado record its first top five finish.

Ever wondered what rap and yodelling would sound like in close proximity? Thanks to our friends in Romania, you no longer have to.
Yodel It! is just the kind of offbeat combo that Eurovision was made for, and one that ensures Romania is back with a bang after being barred from taking part last year.
Singer Ilinca Bacila, 25, describes herself as Romania's only yodelling artist and says she likes to drink palinka - a kind of fruit brandy - before performing with her rapping cohort Alex Florea.
By the way, we're not kidding about Romania being back with a bang. Their Eurovision performance sees them joined on stage by a pair of glittery cannons.
Watch the video.
Sweden has an impressive track record at Eurovision. It's won six times in all, most recently in 2015 when Mans Zelmerlow triumphed with Heroes.
It's also mastered the art of making its submission stand out from the crowd. Remember the stylish computer visuals that saw Zelmerlow accompanied on stage in Vienna by a stick-figured animated buddy?
Robin Bengtsson will be hoping to match that with a slick routine involving four suit-wearing male dancers on treadmills that recalls nothing so much as Take That in their prime.
The song is not bad either - an up-tempo pop ditty in which 26-year-old Bengtsson sings about wanting to take off all his clothes for his "freakin' beautiful" partner.

The head of Russia's Security Council has identified Islamic State (IS) as the greatest threat to world peace and security, and it seems the danger could be getting closer to home.

The militant Islamist group has proclaimed the establishment of a wilayaat, or province, in Russia's mainly-Muslim North Caucasus, suggesting it may be gaining the upper hand in a battle for control over radical forces there.
The statement follows an anonymous audio message posted online pledging allegiance to IS on behalf of militants in four regions.
But it remains unclear how far - and high - that support may reach among militants previously loyal to the banned, al-Qaeda-affiliated group Caucasus Emirate, which has long sought to carve out an Islamist state in the region.
Caucasus Emirate's presumed head has made no comment. Meanwhile, analysts say most militants who have publicly switched support to IS are largely unknown figures.
Rooted in the Chechen separatist movement of the 1990s, Caucasus Emirate has committed numerous terror attacks against civilians, including the Moscow metro bombing of 2010 that killed dozens. But its insurgency has recently focused on Russia's security forces.
Some fear an upsurge in deadly attacks if the network does indeed affiliate itself with IS.
"I don't think they are planning just to separate off a piece of the North Caucasus for themselves, to create a territory controlled by their jihadists," Grigory Shvedov of the internet news agency Caucasus Knot believes.
"I think the plan would be to use the region for terror attacks in Russia, which would show their reach and put them 'on the map'," he adds.
It is perhaps that heightened danger, coupled with renewed IS gains in Syria, which prompted a rare phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Barack Obama on Thursday.
The White House says Islamic State was the top issue for discussion: the leaders' last call in February focused exclusively on the Ukraine crisis.
"Of course it is in our mutual interest to co-operate on this with the West, though we disagree on other issues," former Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov told the BBC.
"Modern security threats are international, we can't fight them alone," he added - a theme that Russian officials have begun to stress.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has dismissed claims of an IS province in the region as "bluff", but also said the threat of the IS "virus" was not being ignored.
"We will destroy the devils and bandits without mercy," he pledged.
Whilst highly controversial, his tough methods have been relatively successful in suppressing the threat from the Caucasus Emirate in Chechnya - but the usual tactics could backfire badly with IS.
"I think a lot of rebels, especially the young, are very frustrated and would support a more radical response," believes Grigory Shvedov, and says that IS would back that.
Official estimates of how many Russian citizens have travelled to Syria and Iraq to join IS differ, though the most conservative count is more than 1,000.
Just this month, 13 potential recruits were returned to Moscow from the Syrian border, including a teenage female student.
On Thursday, Russia's Anti-Terrorism Committee said two people killed in Ingushetia were suspected of trying to recruit fighters for IS.


Social news site Reddit has shut down five of its forums because they were being used to "harass individuals".

The closures follow an announcement in May, when Reddit said it would be enforcing its anti-harassment policy more vigorously.
More closures of other chat forums, or sub-reddits, would follow if they too were abused in the same way, it said.
The action has been widely criticised, with some saying it marks a significant policy shift for the site.
Many Reddit members responded by flooding the site with images related to the banned forums or directing abusive comments to the site's administrators.
The closures were announced in a post placed on Reddit, saying the sub-reddits had been banned because they had broken community rules on harassment and the forum's volunteer moderators had not taken action to stop the behaviour.
The sub-reddits directed abuse towards overweight, black and trans people as well as gamers.
The post said Reddit's operators wanted as "little involvement as possible" in overseeing what people said to each other on the site.
However, they said they would intervene when privacy and free expression were threatened or if people suffered abuse.
In a separate explanation, Reddit added that the sub-reddits had not been banned because of the opinions expressed within them.
Instead, it said, those forums had been used to recruit gangs of people who had then subjected someone to sustained harassment.
And this "brigading" had affected the lives of people being picked on, who "worry for their safety every day, because people from a certain community on Reddit have decided to actually threaten them, online and off, every day".
"We're banning behaviour, not ideas," it said.
Other forums that people found distasteful or annoying would not suffer bans unless they too prompted offline action against people, Reddit said.
It encouraged Reddit users to report sub-reddits engaged in sustained abuse.
The announcement and bans sparked a huge debate on the site, with the main discussion thread garnering almost 25,000 comments.
Reddit members who commented said the ban was "horrible", "not well thought out" and a "bad business decision".
Others argued that it was better to keep a "bigoted community" in a separate sub-reddit because shutting that down would mean the abuse would then spill over into other forums.
Commentators pointed out that similar decisions to ban discussions by social news site Digg had started an exodus from that site and ultimately led to its demise.


Blaine Ridge-Davis became the first Briton to be crowned European junior women's BMX champion since Shanaze Reade in 2006 after riding to victory in Bordeaux, France.

The 18-year-old is in the Great Britain squad for the UCI BMX World Championships later this month.
Compatriot Bethany Shriever also made the final but finished sixth.
Reade, who went on to become a multiple BMX and track world champion, retired from competitive cycling this year.


A man who was pulled from the sea after he got into difficulty while swimming in Brighton has died.

The 22-year-old from Redhill, in Surrey, was last seen swimming in rough seas, to the east of Palace Pier on Saturday.
A search was started at 07:45 BST and he was found approximately 1km (0.6 miles) from the pier.
Coastguards pulled him from the sea, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sussex Police said the coroner had been informed.


Shots have been fired at a house in Londonderry, where a toddler was asleep in an upstairs bedroom.

The attack happened at about 23:30 BST on Saturday in Rossdowney Drive.
The PSNI said the attack on the occupied house was "extremely reckless" and urged anyone who has any information to come forward.
Det Con Donnell said: "It is very fortunate we are not dealing with a death this morning.
"We believe at least two shots were fired through the front windows of the property."
Sinn FÃ©in councillor Christopher Jackson said "there was no place for guns on the streets of our city".
"This attack is wrong and must be condemned," he said.
"Thankfully no-one was injured in this incident but it must have been a frightening experience for those in the area at the time."
Gary Middleton, from the Democratic Unionist Party, said it was a "disturbing and worrying attack within our community".
"The reality is we could have been mourning the loss of life," he said.
"These actions are serious and criminal.  I would urge anyone with any information to contact the PSNI and bring forward any knowledge they may have of this attack."
SDLP councillor Martin Reilly described it as a "reckless and sinister" attack.


A man is in hospital after being attacked by a large group of men and women in West Lothian.

It is understood he was stabbed during the incident on Mayfield Drive, Armadale, at about 22:00 on Wednesday.
A man and woman are currently being questioned by officers.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Police and emergency services were called and the injured man was taken to Monklands Hospital, where he is currently in a stable condition."
Witnesses are being urged to come forward by the police.


An estimated 500,000 disabled children are being excluded from South Africa's education system, US-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) says in a report.

HRW says the government has discriminated against disabled children in its allocation of school places.
Children are excluded from mainstream schools and forced to wait years for places at special schools, it says.
The government said it was disappointed by the report, which "trivialised" efforts to help disabled children.
In a statement, South Africa's Department of Basic Education said that HRW had failed to include the ministry's submissions to the final report.
"It is almost as if there is an attempt to sensationalise the very real and very serious challenges faced by learners with special needs," it said.
BBC Africa Live: News updates
The department said it was " working at various levels of government to educationally enrich the lives of children with disabilities".
But campaigners say the government needs to admit that it is not providing quality education to all of its children.
"The job is not done until all children count just the same in the education system," said Elin Martinez, a children's rights researcher and author of the report.
Human Rights Watch researchers also found that inadequate teacher training and understanding of children's disabilities meant children with disabilities were not properly treated in classrooms.
In some cases, children suffered physical violence and neglect in schools, they added.
A mother of an eight-year-old boy with Down's syndrome told HRW that her child was denied admission because of his illness.
And parents of children with disabilities were often asked to pay additional fees, HRW said.
The 94-page report from the international pressure group found that many adolescents with disabilities lacked basic life skills that should be taught in school and were facing difficulties in getting employment.
In 2007, South Africa was one of the first countries to ratify the UN Disability Rights Treaty, which requires the government to promote an inclusive education system.
HRW said the government should adopt a new policy and legislation that would ensure equal learning opportunities for people with disabilities.
However, the education department said it was working hard to improve data-gathering and screening that would help children with disabilities to go to "neighbourhood schools and receive support in inclusive settings from an early age".

One hundred jobs will be created in Stirling following the expansion of a financial services company.

The announced by International Financial Data Services (IFDS) has been described as "fantastic news" by Stirling Council leader, Johanna Boyd.
The jobs will be in customer service, management and for technical specialists.
They will add to the workforce at the company's base in Craigforth.
Irene McGowan, director of operations platforms at IFDS, said: "With a healthy pipeline of new business across insurance, pensions, asset management and the broader financial services industries, IFDS is able to offer exciting career opportunities across a wide range of skill sets."
Scottish government business minister Fergus Ewing added: "Scotland's financial services sector is one of Scotland's key strengths and enjoys a great reputation thanks to the skills, experience and commitment of our workforce.
"I am delighted that IFDS recognises that."


A football fairytale came to a happy conclusion as Barry Town United sealed promotion to the Welsh Premier League with a 3-0 win against Goytre United.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The historic club completed its journey from the footballing wilderness to the top flight thanks to goals from Luke Cooper, Tyrell Webbe and Drew Fahiya.
It is quite a turnaround for a club which little more than four years ago had basically ceased to exist.
The win means they will definitely finish in the top two of the Welsh Football League Division One.
Barry Town over the decades wove itself into Welsh football folklore with FA Cup clashes against QPR and Reading and, after entering the Welsh League Division One in 1993, before dominating the domestic game throughout that decade in the League of Wales.
It was a period which saw them venture into Europe to battle the likes of Dynamo Kiev and Boavista with players likes of Andriy Shevchenko and Sergei Rebrov gracing Jenner Park.
In 2001, Barry became the first Welsh club to win a Champions League qualifier when they beat Azerbaijan side, FK Shamkir, over two-legs to set up a mouth-watering tie with Portuguese giants Porto.
Despite an 8-0 hammering away in the first leg, Barry pulled off a now legendry 3-1 victory in the second-leg in front of their own fans.
But despite all that, under the eccentric ownership of Stuart Lovering, the senior team were withdrawn from the Welsh Football League in 2013, virtually killing the club in the process.
It took a High Court battle with the Football Association of Wales (FAW) by the band of supporters intent on saving what was now called Barry Town United, to get the club back into the bottom tier of the Welsh League
And now, four years later, the Welsh Premier awaits. club secretary David Cole believes the club has made its own fairytale come true.
"The lowest point was when there seemed no way back for the club into the Welsh Leagues," said Cole, prior to the win against Goytre.
"Since then really it has been like a fairytale to have climbed back up through the leagues.
"The whole thing has not just galvanised the fans and the players at the club, but the whole town. Reaching the Welsh Premier, where we once were, would be the perfect ending to all that we have struggled to achieve."


A local delicacy in north-east Thailand, made from raw fish, has been found to be behind a high incidence of liver cancer in the area, and doctors are trying to educate people about the risk.

The Isaan plateau of north-eastern Thailand is poor, dry, and far from the sea. Home to around one third of the country's population, most of them ethnic Lao in origin, it is renowned for its spicy and inventive cuisine, using whatever ingredients are available.
Where there are rivers or lakes, they use the smaller fish they catch in a pungent dish called koi plaa. The fish are chopped up finely, and mixed by hand with local herbs, lime juice and live red ants, and served up raw.
It is very popular, but also dangerous.
For decades, certain populations in the north-east have been known to have abnormally high levels of liver cancer.
In men it comprises more than half of all cancer cases, compared to an average of less than 10% worldwide.
The high prevalence has long been linked to infection by liver flukes, a kind of parasite, found in raw fish.
But it is only in the last decade that a serious effort has been made to get people to change their eating habits, by cooking koi plaa to kill the flukes before they eat it.
Dr. Banchob Sripa at the Tropical Disease Research Laboratory in Khon Kaen University is the man largely responsible for this effort.
"We have been studying this link in our labs for over 30 years", he said.
"We found that the liver fluke can make a chemical that stimulates a host immune response - inflammation - and after many years, this becomes chronic inflammation, which then becomes cancer."
His team found that in some communities up to 80% of people were infected by the fluke, some as young as four years-old, but that the cancer rarely developed before people reached 50. Once it does, though, there is little hope for patients.
At the university hospital they receive around 2,000 patients a year with a specific form of liver cancer called cholangiocarcinoma.
Only around 200 of those can be treated, usually by surgery, cutting out the tumour from the liver.
The others are given palliative care, easing their discomfort, usually by draining bile ducts, until they die.
The only effective remedy is prevention.
So Dr. Banchob and his team are running a community-based health education programme in the villages along the great wetland, known as Lawa Lake, south of Khon Kaen, where liver fluke infection rates are highest.
They started by using the most effective methods for this region; recruiting respected community leaders to do most of the talking, and injecting plenty of north-eastern music and humour, which can be as pungent as the local cooking.
They have composed songs that press home easily understood information about the life-cycle of the fluke.
The larvae, embedded in the fish's flesh, are consumed and grow into an adult flukes inside the liver.
The eggs are then excreted, passing back into the water system where they are eaten by a particular snail, before the larvae move back to the fish again.
They also take a portable ultrasound machine around the villages to screen people for liver fluke infection.
It is striking how many older people have high levels, indicating that they still eat their koi plaa raw.
"Sometimes I cook it, but sometimes I forget," said 61-year-old Jongluck Laonongkwa after his screening. His liver was infested with flukes.
"I think 60% do understand the causes of the liver cancer" said Dr. Banchob, "they are aware of the liver fluke.
"But 10% are still eating raw fish. I believe that 10% probably cannot change. So we should change the environment, make the fish cleaner, to get fewer infections."
Part of the education campaign focuses on getting people to use proper toilets, and not defecate in the lake, which reduces the number of fluke eggs.
In the villages where the campaign has been running, infection rates are coming down sharply, to below 10% in some.
It will take more time for liver cancer rates to fall significantly, but the attitude of younger people is encouraging.
Kamphan Sapsombat, 71, is being treated in hospital for an inoperable tumour. He is jaundiced, with yellow eyes which is a clear sign of a blocked bile duct.
His daughter, Rattana, said her father had eaten raw fish all his life. But the rest of her family had stopped it years ago, she said.
They understood all too well that the risk of ending up like her father was not worth it.


Batsman Shahzaib Hasan has become the fifth player to be provisionally suspended as part of an anti-corruption inquiry into the Pakistan Super League.

The Karachi Kings opener, 27, has been charged by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and has 14 days to respond.
Shahzaib has played in three one-day internationals and 10 T20s with Pakistan.
Former Pakistan opener Nasir Jamshed was arrested in February but was later released on bail.
Pace bowler Mohammad Irfan was provisionally suspended on 14 March, with the same action being taken against batsmen Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif a month earlier.


Jim McCorry has resigned as Down team manager with immediate effect after just one season in charge.

The Armagh native led the county to promotion to Division One in the spring but they lost both championship games to Derry and Wexford.
He narrowly won the backing of Down officials to stay in charge on a 22-20 vote in July but has now stepped down.
In a statement on Thursday, Down said they met McCorry on Monday to "reassure him he had 100 per cent support".
Down were edged out by a point by Derry in the Ulster Championship and then crashed to a 2-16 to 2-11 defeat in the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers by Wexford, who had suffered relegation to Division Four in the spring.
After winning a narrow vote to continue as team manager, McCorry held further discussions with the county board and rumours persisted about whether he would remain in charge.
Members of the Down executive committee met this week with McCorry, who led Kilcoo to three Down SFC titles in four years prior to taking over as county manager, "to reassure him that he had 100 per cent support from both the executive committee and the clubs in Down".
"And that Down GAA would not be found wanting in their support for Jim and the Down Senior Footballers in 2016 and beyond."
On Thursday night, Down thanked McCorry and his backroom team for their "endeavours" and wished him well in the future.
When contacted by BBC Sport NI on Thursday night, McCorry declined to comment on his decision.
The players are understood to have wanted him to remain in charge and midfielder Caolan Mooney criticised elements within the county who failed to back him.
"Some people in the county are watching too much soccer. Not backing him (McCorry) after 1 [one] year is disgraceful in my opinion," he said.


German travel giant Tui and its UK subsidiary Tui Travel have announced plans to merge following years of speculation about such a deal.

The firms said a merger would deliver a number of benefits, including 45m euros (Â£36m; $61m) of cost savings a year.
Tui currently owns a 55% share in its UK subsidiary.
The share prices of both companies rose following the announcement, with Tui up 3.5% in Frankfurt and Tui Travel up 4% in London.
"The independent directors of TUI Travel and the executive board of TUI AG are pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement in principle on the key terms of a possible all-share, nil-premium merger of TUI Travel and TUI AG," a joint statement said.
Under the proposed terms of the deal, Tui Travel shareholders would receive 0.3999 new Tui shares for each Tui Travel share they own. The merged company would have its headquarters in Germany but would keep a listing on the London Stock Exchange.
Alexey Mordashov, the largest shareholder in Tui, has indicated he would support a merger deal. Any merger would be subject to UK and Germany regulatory approval.
The companies had discussed a merger at the beginning of last year but talks broke down without agreement.
Tui Travel owns a number of brands, including Thomson, Airtours Germany and Laterooms.com.


Premiership leaders Saracens hung on to beat Gloucester, despite playing 60 minutes with 14 men.

Schalk Brits saw red on the half-hour mark for a punch on Nick Wood, leaving Saracens temporarily with 13 men, Brad Barritt having been sin-binned earlier.
The hosts led 13-6 at the break, Ben Ransom grabbing an early Saracens try.
James Hook kicked all of Gloucester's points while Charlie Hodgson's six penalties helped Saracens bounce back from last week's big defeat by Wasps.
The win moves Sarries eight points clear at the top of the table, with second-placed Exeter Chiefs facing London Irish at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday.
Saracens boss Mark McCall wanted a reaction from his side following that record loss, and full-back Ransom was the man to deliver with a try inside four minutes, chipping over the defence before gathering in space to score.

It was an ideal start by a north London side that included Scotland centre Duncan Taylor, who returned to club duties during the Six Nations break, although McCall was still without seven England internationals, including George Kruis, Billy and Mako Vunipola and Owen Farrell.
A Barritt tip tackle on Ross Moriarty saw the hosts reduced to 14 men as he was sin-binned and, after Hook and Hodgson traded penalties, Saracens had Brits sent off.
Hook reduced the deficit from the tee, but Hodgson ensured the defending champions took a seven-point lead into the break with his second three-pointer.
Saracens lost scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth and prop Rhys Gill to injury late in the first half, but drove forward and piled pressure on Gloucester after the interval.
The Cherry and Whites did well to resist and leave Hodgson opting to slot over another penalty. All the visitors could do at the other end was line Hook up for another penalty of his own.

While Hodgson's boot delivered the win, an immense display by the Saracens pack - including replacement prop Juan Figallo, who raced to the game following the birth of his child earlier in the day - proved the difference in the gritty win.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall:
"Schalk has obviously struck him on the head, but if you look at the incident, then Schalk's knee is trapped as Nick Wood clears him out.
"Schalk is almost frightened and is trying to get him off him as quickly as he can. He did the ACL on that knee last November so there was a bit of fear there. He swung to get the player off.
"That was probably our best win of the season after what happened last weekend. It takes the wind out of your sails when you lose a player like that. We'd already done 10 minutes without Brad Barritt and were then playing into the wind in the second half.
"It was a phenomenal effort from everybody, most particularly from our forwards."
Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys:
"No one is pleased with that performance. We're very disappointed with the scoreline.
"For me, it felt like watching Gloucester 15-18 months ago. Our set-piece creaked, we lacked discipline in an 18-8 penalty count. You'll never win at Allianz Park with that many penalties.
"Saracens, with 14 men, found a way to win the game and that's why they're a championship team."

A fortune teller in Japan has been ordered to pay $850,000 (Â£691,000) in damages to a female client she had forced into prostitution, reports say.

The victim was reportedly made to believe that she was in debt to the clairvoyant and could repay that debt only by becoming a sex worker.
Tokyo's District Court heard the woman was sometimes forced to live on the equivalent of $1 a day.
The fortune teller reportedly pocketed nearly 90m yen ($785,000; Â£639,000).
The victim started consulting with the clairvoyant in 2008, when she was troubled by issues such as a divorce, and became dependent on her advice, local media reported.
In 2011, she was forced to move into an apartment the fortune teller owned, and ordered to work as a prostitute to pay rent and other costs.
"The fortune teller fuelled the woman's fears by leading her to believe that she owed her a lot of money," judge Sotaro Tomuro said.
The woman handed over almost all of her income, the court heard.


After weeks of hearing about strong and stable leadership, we've finally got some numbers to look at.

But unlike Labour and the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives have not released their overall costings in a single table in their manifesto.
What they have said is that they will aim to balance the budget by 2025, rather than the early 2020s as previously set out in the Chancellor's March Budget. In the 2015 Conservative manifesto, the party had committed to eliminating the budget deficit by 2020.
There are some headline numbers. The Tories say, for example, that they plan to spend a minimum of £8bn on the NHS.
However, the manifesto does not say how this will be paid for.
Reality check: How big is the UK's deficit and debt?
The social care changes will mean tens of thousands more families have to pay for social care provided at home - but everyone will retain at least £100,000 of their savings and assets including value in the family home.
It is a policy designed to take account of the fact that we are living longer.
The Conservatives also want to raise money by means testing the winter fuel allowance - ensuring that payments go only to the least wealthy pensioners. The scheme costs about £3bn at the moment - means testing it could save about half that according to the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies.
When it comes to tax, the Tories say there will be no increase in VAT but they have scrapped their 2015 manifesto pledge not to raise income tax or National Insurance.
Whilst this leaves the door open for possible future tax rises, Labour and the Lib Dems have already promised to increase income tax to partly fund their spending plans.
The big Conservative promise in the Cameron years was the triple lock on pensions - under which the state pension rises by the rate of inflation, average earnings or 2.5%, whichever is the highest.
Theresa May wants to scrap that - losing the 2.5% guarantee. It would give the government more flexibility, but it is impossible to say how much money it might save.
Moving to education - the Conservatives want to boost school funding by £4bn over the course of the next parliament.
One of the ways they plan to raise that money is to scrap universal free school lunches for infants - replacing them with much cheaper free school breakfasts in primary schools - but the manifesto contains no precise calculations for this.
Immigration policy also looms large in Conservative plans.
They plan to double - from £1,000 to £2,000 - the amount companies have to pay to import highly-skilled workers from outside the EU. We do not know how much that might raise.
The Conservatives have also reaffirmed their target of cutting overall net immigration to less than 100,000 per year.
The independent Office for Budget Responsibility has estimated that cutting annual net immigration from about 273,000 now to 185,000 by 2021 - still a long way short of the 100,000 target - could cost £5.9bn - because of things like a lower tax take and a higher proportion of non-working people in the overall population.
So that is something that will have to be taken into account in the immigration debate to come and that emphasis on immigration is a reminder that this is an election taking place in the shadow of the looming Brexit negotiations.
The outcome of those talks over the next two years is deeply uncertain at the moment.
The manifesto reasserts that the Conservatives think no deal with the EU is better than a bad deal.
So the EU negotiations will probably do more than anything else in the next parliament to determine the health of the British economy and the chances for any political party to put their promises into practice.

MSPs looking at the problems facing asylum seekers in Scotland have said "destitution" is built into the process.

The equalities and human rights committee said that, too often, vulnerable people fell victim to homelessness, ill health and misery.
The committee called for a range of measures to tackle the problem.
But Conservative members of the committee refused to back the full report saying it was "politicised".
The committee investigated asylum and destitution, where people are left without adequate accommodation or the ability to meet essential living needs.
Committee convener, the SNP's Christina McKelvie, said the evidence they heard pointed to "huge gaps" in the asylum system which suffered from a "serious lack of compassion and humanity".
But Conservative member Annie Wells accused her of using a "politicised and unbalanced tone" on the issue.
The British Red Cross in Scotland told the committee the number of destitute refugees and asylum seekers it had helped in Glasgow had more than doubled from 326 in 2014 to 820 in 2016.
The committee is calling for a Scottish anti-destitution strategy and new Scottish government advocacy service to help people with insecure immigration status in Scotland and for asylum seekers in the country to have the right to do paid community work.
Other recommendations in the report include the Scottish government funding accommodation for a person with insecure immigration status.
Ms McKelvie said: "Our inquiry exposed a serious lack of compassion and humanity in the current system, which is leading hundreds to destitution. This is simply unacceptable.
"In spite of the best efforts of voluntary organisations and some in local government, there are huge gaps in the system that need to be addressed as a matter of priority."
Ms Wells said she and her Conservative colleague on the committee, Jeremy Balfour, did not back the full report.
She said: "A lot of these recommendations are sensible, for both governments: people fleeing conflict or persecution should be able to make a fresh start in the UK.
"But it's deeply regrettable that Christina McKelvie has chosen to depict this important issue in such a politicised and unbalanced tone. It is for that reason I and my Scottish Conservative colleague dissented from the full report."


Inverness continued their upsurge in form with first half strikes from Miles Storey and James Vincent securing a 2-1 Highland derby victory in Dingwall.

Storey netted his fourth in five games when he calmly side-footed the opener.
He then broke down the left with superb pace, earning a corner from which Vincent nodded home at the back post.
County pressed in the second half and eventually broke through when Boyce headed home what proved to be a consolation in injury time.
The absence of in-form Ryan Christie was a talking point pre-match but Storey picked up the mantle and was a key architect of this win.
County started slightly better in an attacking sense and Michael Gardyne sent a great chance over from close-range after David Raven failed to deal with Boyce's centre.
As half-time approached the visitors decisively took the initiative. Liam Polworth's accurate centre found Storey breaking beyond the defence and he didn't hesitate in stroking the ball home.
Storey then turned superbly and skinned Scott Boyd to earn a corner. The ball was flicked into the path of Vincent at the back post and he nodded it in to give John Hughes' side a commanding lead.
The second half involved a pattern of County trying new ways to break down the visiting defence, with Inverness attempting to release Storey to utilise his exceptional speed.
Stewart Murdoch drove wide and headers from Boyce and Jackson Irvine didn't overly threaten.
The afternoon got worse for Jim McIntyre when his goalkeeper Scott Fox landed awkwardly on his left leg and had to be stretchered off.
Late hope arrived when Boyce once again marked his name on the scoresheet in injury time but it proved too late to mount serious pressure on the result.
Inverness can now rightly claim they're showing similar form to that of last season. A first defeat since mid-August for County points to a good start they'll be keen to maintain.

South Korea's president has promised $89m (Â£56m) in state funds to revive the country's reputation as a world leader in stem cell research.

In his regular radio address, Lee Myung-bak described the field as a "new growth engine" for the economy.
The announcement comes five years after a damaging scandal, when it was found a cloning pioneer had faked research.
Analysts say Mr Lee's pledge belies concerns that South Korea could fall far behind fast-moving rival nations.
The president said South Korea alongside the US had been a world leader in stem cell research a decade ago.
"Unfortunately, there was a disappointing incident which caused inevitable damage to the entire stem cell research community in Korea," he said, referring to the conviction of Hwang Woo-suk.
Hwang's claims he had succeeded in creating human embryonic stem cells by cloning raised hopes of finding cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's, until revelations that his work was bogus.
The controversy caused shockwaves in South Korea, where the scientist had been widely regarded as a national hero.
As Seoul's stem cell programme faltered, other nations streamlined regulations and aggressively expanded funding for research, Mr Lee said.
"We must restore our national fame as a stem cell powerhouse," he said, adding the government would ease regulations and establish a state stem cell bank.
Scientists believe stem cells could be used as a super "repair kit" for the body, generating healthy tissue to replace that damaged by trauma or compromised by disease.
Among the conditions which scientists believe may eventually be treated by stem cell therapy are Parkinson's disease, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, diabetes, burns and spinal cord damage.


California police shot dead a 73-year-old dementia sufferer after reports he might have had a gun, only to find he was carrying a crucifix.

Bakersfield officials said officers opened fire at Francisco Serna seconds after he was pointed out to them.
Police said he refused officer commands to take his hands out of his pockets, and neighbours had complained he was threatening people and might be armed.
A 2015 study rated Bakersfield Police Department as the deadliest in the US.
Mr Serna's family said the shooting in the city, 110 miles (177km) north of Los Angeles, was murder.
"It is difficult to accept that our dad's life ended so brutally, abruptly and with such excessive violence," the family said in a statement read aloud during a candlelight vigil at their home on Tuesday night.
"We feel our dad was stolen from us at a time when our family should be celebrating the holidays, birthdays and making happy family memories."
The retired father-of-five was shot to death in his neighbour's driveway at around 00:45 local time on Monday.
He was walking towards a police officer who was responding to a report of an armed man acting threateningly, officials said.
Bakersfield police chief Lyle Martin said Officer Reagan Selman fired seven shots at Serna when he was about 15-20ft (4-6m) away from him.
Officer Selman, and six other officers present, have been placed on routine administrative leave.
Chief Martin initially said the object found in Mr Serna's pocket was difficult to describe, without offering further details.
But a subsequent statement from Bakersfield Police Department read: "During a search of Mr Serna a dark colored simulated woodgrain crucifix was recovered.
"Mr Serna was not armed at the time of the shooting. No firearm has been recovered."
Police say that Mr Serna accosted two different people in his southwest Bakersfield neighbourhood, before the fatal encounter with police.
In the first incident, a neighbour said Mr Serna was banging on windows and doors outside his house on Sunday afternoon, while keeping one hand on an object inside his pocket.
When the man opened his door, Mr Serna grabbed his hand to pull him outside while challenging him to fight, according to the neighbour, who did not initially report the incident to police.
The man believed that Mr Serna was carrying a pistol, he later said.
In the second incident, Mr Serna approached two female neighbours in their driveway shortly after midnight and demanded to see inside their vehicle.
Mr Serna again kept his hand on an object inside his jacket pocket during the encounter.
The woman ran inside her house and called police to report that she had seen a dark brown or black-handled object which she believed was a gun.
As officers spoke to the women, Mr Serna left his house and began walking towards them, which led to the fatal shooting, said police.
Officers opened fire about 20 to 30 seconds after the woman had pointed Mr Serna out to them, Chief Martin said.
"My dad did not own a gun. He was a 73-year-old retired grandpa, just living life," his son, Rogelio Serna, said.
"He should have been surrounded by family at old age, not surrounded by bullets," he told the LA Times.
A 2015 Mapping Police Violence study rated Bakersfield Police Department as the deadliest in the country, logging 13.6 killings for every million people, compared with a US average of 3.6.


The body of 38-year-old Dario Cecconi was taken on a lap of honour of the Tandragee 100 road race circuit in County Armagh on Thursday evening.

More than 300 motorcyclists turned out to say a final farewell to the Italian road racer who died following a crash at the Tandragee 100 at the weekend.
The convoy included fellow riders, fans and many more from the motorcycling community.
Members of Mr Cecconi's family were also present.
There was a blessing at the start line before the hearse made its way around the circuit.
Onlookers broke into spontaneous applause in tribute to the popular Italian rider who called the course "home".


A student has been questioned by police after accessing an "extremist" website found on his course's reading list, it has emerged.

The University of East Anglia undergraduate had followed a link to the page from the "course materials" for a politics module.
It has since removed the link, but said "legitimate academic study" was key to countering extremist causes.
Police confirmed they spoke to the third-year, but took no further action.
"Officers were satisfied this was not a deliberate act and words of advice were given," a spokesman added.
The Clash of Fundamentalisms course, which "examines the clash between competing ideologies of neoliberalism and Islamism", is available to a maximum of 18 students in the autumn semester.
UEA's student newspaper Concrete quoted a "shocked" student on the course, who said: "People need to be allowed to learn about this stuff in order to know they disagree with it."
In September, a postgraduate student in counter-terrorism received an apology from Staffordshire University after concerns were raised when he was seen reading a book called Terrorism Studies.


Belgium extended their lead at the top of Group H by thrashing Estonia 8-1 in their World Cup qualifier in Brussels.

Dries Mertens and Romelu Lukaku struck twice each, with Thomas Meunier, Eden Hazard and Yannick Carrasco on target and Ragnar Klavan scoring an own goal.
Of concern to Chelsea, however, will be the sight of their playmaker Hazard leaving the field in the 74th minute with what appeared to be a knee injury.
Henri Anier, who made it 3-1, scored Estonia's goal.
The striker became the first player to score against the Red Devils in this qualifying campaign.
Roberto Martinez's team have won all four of their group games, scoring 21 goals.

Chelsea have signed English football's second biggest shirt sponsorship deal - worth a reported £40m per year - with a Japanese tyre manufacturer.

The five-year deal with Yokohama Rubber Company eclipses the £18m-per-year-deal the club signed with Samsung in 2006.
Manchester United's seven-year deal with US car brand Chevrolet remains the biggest, worth around £50m per year.
Chelsea are top of the Premier League and are in the last 16 of the Champions League.
The West London club are now one of the world's most recognised sporting brands with an estimated 500m fans and were the most watched English side worldwide last season with 31,000 broadcast hours.
"Chelsea and Yokohama are a perfect fit. Both are global organisations with a focus on performance and innovation, as well as having huge ambition and an unwavering culture of success," Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck said on the club's website.
The Yokohama Rubber Company Ltd is a Tokyo Stock Exchange listed public company and deals in industrial, construction, marine and aerospace products, as well as golf equipment.
Its global business employs more than 20,000 people in over 120 countries, working across manufacturing, sales and servicing.


A story about a West Yorkshire school offering a £1,650 sports trip to Barbados provoked a lot of reaction from parents, with hundreds of people tweeting and emailing us.

Some were "disgusted" like the parents in Yorkshire, and felt trips like these put pressure on parents to find money they cannot afford.
Others said their children accepted not being able to go on such expensive trips, and they did not feel under pressure.
Many also said they were willing to pay thousands of pounds if their children benefitted.
Steven Underhill, who has a 17-year-old daughter and a 11-year-old son, was among those who responded to the story.
Money is tight for his family because Mr Underhill had to take time off from running his business while being treated for bowel cancer.
His daughter is going on a £2,500 school visit to South Africa in July.
"We have no way of being able to go on this sort of holiday ourselves, so we thought it would be nice to treat her to something we wouldn't be able to go on as a family," said Mr Underhill.
He said his daughter, Toni, understands the family's financial situation and never expected to go on the trip when she heard about it at school in Paignton, Devon.
"We never felt under pressure," he said.
"She isn't a child who asks for anything and this trip is something we feel she should have to show how proud we are of her."
Mr Underhill's own parents have helped towards the cost of the visit, but he said he would have found a way to finance it without their help if necessary.
The 45-year-old has only been abroad once in his life, to Spain when he was 12.
"We are not against the prices of these holidays, in fact we are grateful that our daughter has the opportunity to go on such a trip that we could never afford to take her on ourselves," said Mr Underhill.
One father asked us not to name him because he did not want his stepson "to get picked on" at school.
His primary school in Belper, Derbyshire, is offering a trip to Moscow for £1,350, to see aspects of the Russian space programme and meet astronauts.
"It's ridiculous really, that amount of money for a seven-year-old to go to Moscow for four nights is outrageous," said the father.
"There's a space centre down the road in Leicester. Why can't they go to that rather than Moscow?"
The father said his stepson had been excited about the prospect of going on the trip, but he accepted he could not go.
"I just sat him down and explained that he could go away for four nights, or I could take the entire family of five away for a week for only £250 more," he said,
"I let him come to the conclusion that it was the right thing not to go, so basically we are going to Egypt."
Schools are required to take a certain proportion of teachers or adults on trips, usually one adult for every ten pupils for trips abroad.
This can make costs higher, because the cost of the adults' travel is sometimes spread between the pupils.
The Department for Education said there was no cap on the cost of school trips, but that schools must only cover the price of the excursion. It is up to individual schools to decide what is appropriate and they cannot make a profit.
However, the department says parents in receipt of certain benefits should be exempt from paying the cost of board and lodging.
When a school informs parents about a forthcoming visit, they "should make it clear" that these parents will be exempt.
One of the teachers who tweeted the BBC following the story about the Yorkshire school was a former pupil, Jonathan Robinson.
He is now a teacher in Hertfordshire and has been on several school trips.
"We constantly have parents who say to us, every year, 'Why is this trip being offered? It's so expensive. You should only offer cheap trips that everyone can go on'."
In response, he argues the school offers a range of trips at different costs, including 38 trips last year that cost under £100.
A "really big trip" costing £2,000 or £3,000 is offered every two years, and payments are spread over two years.
"They are all optional trips so they are not compulsory parts of the curriculum," he said.
"These trips are so valuable and so beneficial to students, and you can see that from the feedback we get from students."
He said the trips offer experiences that children would never have on a family holiday, such as when he took students to China.
He used to work in China as a lecturer, so he was able to take the children away from the tourist trail.
Mr Robinson said teachers spend a lot of their own time organising the trips, and they are far from being free holidays because teachers are responsible for children.
"If anything goes wrong, the first person you are going to blame is the teacher," he said.
Like many others, his school encourages students to do fundraising for their trips, which he believes teaches them about the value of money.
Being unable to go on an expensive trip also teaches them "the reality of life", he argued.
"In life you can't always have the most expensive thing," he said.
"There are families and students that want these trips and can afford them, and it would be wrong of us not to offer them, just as it would be wrong not to offer cheaper ones to families that can afford those."

Senior EU officials have warned that the threat of terrorism could increase as jihadist group Islamic State (IS) faces a major offensive.

EU Counter-Terrorism Co-ordinator Gilles de Kerchove said IS would seek to "reassert itself" by encouraging existing cells or individuals to carry out attacks.
Europol director Rob Wainwright said this was a "crucial time".
Military pressure had, in the past, "caused IS to lash out," he added.
The warnings came as the EU's security commissioner, Julian King, told German daily Die Welt that "the recapture of the city of Mosul, the northern Iraqi stronghold of IS, could lead to dangerous IS fighters returning to Europe".
Mr de Kerchove said Europe would struggle to "digest" the 1,500 and 2,000 "foreign fighters" who might return to Europe if IS was driven out of its strongholds in Mosul and Raqqa. He said that number could also include the families of European jihadists and radicalised children who had grown up under IS control.
His concerns were shared by the former head of the Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism command, Richard Walton.
"IS have known for some time that this offensive in Mosul was going to happen and obviously an offensive in Raqqa will follow and there will be a 'Raqqa scatter' of foreign fighters back to their home countries," he said.
"It's highly likely that IS would have dispatched foreign fighters back to their homelands in anticipation of them losing their physical caliphate."
As IS lost territory, Rob Wainwright told the BBC that Europol had observed a "drying up" of the numbers travelling to support the jihadist group and an overall increase in those coming back.
The fall in those travelling, Europol believes, is in part due to effective policing. But de-radicalisation experts have told the BBC that military defeats and an increasing understanding of the tough conditions in IS territory have also made the journey less attractive.
But could IS be changing its strategy? In May, an audio recording attributed to the now dead IS propagandist Abu Muhammad al-Adnani encouraged would-be jihadists not to travel, but to carry out attacks in the West.
He also argued that the loss of military territory would not mean the end of the jihadists' desire to fight.
Mr de Kerchove warned that Europe had to improve its identification of people arriving in the EU, which required better use of biometrics and greater sharing of data.
Officials acknowledge that it may be a challenge to collect evidence that could lead to the conviction of a large number of returnees. Many jihadists who cannot be convicted would have to be monitored, which required up to 20 officers per individual, Mr De Kerchove said.
IS tries hard to prevent desertions, and severely punishes those caught trying.
An activist for the group "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently" said leaving the area would be extremely difficult. Not only had checkpoints been set up, foreign fighters had had their passports confiscated and burned when they joined IS, the activist said.
Those leaving would also have to avoid capture by enemies of IS. The BBC has recently reported on one camp where deserters and IS captives are held.
Some fear IS fighters may seek to hide among the large numbers of civilians trying to flee. Aid Agencies have warned that the recent offensive may displace hundreds of thousands of people.
But a Kurdish security source suggested fighters travelling undercover risked being exposed by those they had helped to oppress.
According to Richard Walton, the UK government has significantly increased its deployment of police and intelligence abroad in preparation for the defeat of IS.
The UK had now become a "hostile environment" for terrorists and officials were now seeking to protect British nationals on foreign holidays, he said.
But the return of jihadists to the UK will also put pressure on the custodial system, and on those charged with trying to help them reject terrorism.
Ian Acheson, who carried out a review of radicalisation in prisons for the UK government, said when he visited prisons they were "not forecasting at all" what numbers might be coming into the prison system. He was optimistic that this had since changed.
The National Police Chiefs Council told the BBC that the Counter Terrorism policing network "is working 24/7 with the security services and other partners to keep the public safe".


If you've tried to log in to Xbox Live in the last day or so, you might have had some trouble getting on to the network.

A hacker group called Lizard Squad claimed to be behind blocking the service and that this is just "a small dose" of what's to come over Christmas.
Microsoft says Xbox Live is now up and running again.
Although support pages weren't updated while the service was down, users reported issues.
The network came under a DDOS, or a distributed denial of service attack, which overloaded the system, stopping genuine users from getting online.
One gamer told Newsbeat he had been getting an error code he had "never seen before" when trying to log on.
Xbox Live is the latest in a string of hacks Lizard Squad claims to be behind - it's taken credit for taking a number of high-profile targets offline, including EA games, Destiny and Sony's PlayStation Network.
Known as Lizard Patrol on Twitter, the anonymous collective has a Russian-based website.
Try to get on the homepage though and you'll get a warning which reads: "The site you were trying to visit may be unsafe."
As reports of Xbox Live going down started to appear, the group simply tweeted: "XBox Live #offline"
A series of posts included threats that this isn't the last hack planned for XBox Live: "Microsoft will receive a wonderful Christmas present from us"
Although Xbox support has started to respond to complaints from users on Twitter, Newsbeat requested a statement from Microsoft, but received no reply.

Thousands of Poles have taken part in marches in Warsaw and other cities to protest about plans of the conservative government, which they say will curtail privacy and freedom.

Protesters shouted "democracy" and waved banners criticising planned changes to laws on surveillance.
The measures would expand government access to digital data and allow for greater surveillance by police.
The EU is investigating whether the new legislation violates its standards.
The conservative Law and Justice Party was elected with a majority last October - the first time since democracy was restored in 1989 that a single party won a mandate to govern alone.
"We want to keep our democracy and freedom," one of the organisers said.
"Our privacy, intimacy is under threat, we can be followed, watched over both in our homes, and online," Mateusz Kijowski, leader of the Committee for the Defence of Democracy, told the protesters.
One banner carried in Warsaw read: "You're supposed to listen, not listen in."
Another sign said "Happy New Year 1984", an apparent reference to the authoritarian state portrayed in George Orwell's novel 1984.
In Warsaw, the estimated 10,000-strong crowd gathered in front of the office of Prime Minister Beata Szydlo before marching to the palace of President Andrzej Duda.
The EU is carrying out a preliminary assessment of whether curbs to the power of the constitutional court and moves to put public media under government control violate the bloc's principle of the rule of law.
Ms Szydlo told EU lawmakers this week that her government had not breached EU or Polish laws and had a mandate to overhaul the country's laws.


A woman has suffered life-threatening injuries falling from cliffs on Dorset's Jurassic Coast.

A member of the public raised the alarm after seeing the woman, aged in her 50s, fall at Peveril Point, near Swanage, on Saturday afternoon.
She was airlifted by the coastguard helicopter to King George's Field park where she was treated by paramedics.
The injured woman, who is from the Swanage area, was taken to Southampton General Hospital by air ambulance.
Ch Insp Bob Acaster, of Dorset Police, said: "Emergency services worked hard in very difficult weather to rescue the woman from the cliff and bring her to safety."
Police said the woman's family had been informed.


A 20-year-old man has been convicted of murdering a Glasgow pensioner in his own home.

Slovakian Imrich Joni stabbed and strangled Gordon Bolam, 68, at the property in Pollokshields last summer.
He had denied the crime but he was found guilty at the High Court in Edinburgh, following a week-long trial.
Judge Lady Scott told Joni, who has previous convictions for violence and dishonesty, that he would be sentenced to life imprisonment.
He will be told how long he will have to serve in jail before being eligible for parole at a hearing next month.
The court earlier heard that Joni struck Mr Bolam with a knife before throttling him with a piece of fabric at an address in Kenmure Street.
He then concealed his victim's remains in a bedroom wardrobe.
In a bid to cover up his crime and destroy DNA evidence, the murderer then washed upholstery, floors and other surfaces.
He also got rid of his trainers and the clothing he was wearing on the day he murdered Mr Bolam.
But Joni was caught after detectives found his DNA around Mr Bolam's property.
Forensic scientists also discovered Joni's DNA on the ligature which was placed around Mr Bolam's throat.
Joni, who lived at various addresses in the south side of Glasgow, murdered Mr Bolam at a date between 29 June and 14 July 2016.
He was found guilty of murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
Det Insp Mark Henderson, the senior investigating officer on the case, said: "This was a vicious and senseless murder of a vulnerable and friendly elderly gentleman who was well known in the community by an individual who was determined to end the life of Gordon Bolam.
"While the conviction today cannot begin to compensate those who knew Gordon for their loss, I hope that family and friends can take satisfaction in knowing that the man responsible has been held to account for his actions.
"Police Scotland and the Major Investigation Teams will not allow those who perpetrate such extreme violence of this type to go undetected for their crimes.
"This violent act also shocked the local community, who really came together in the wake of this terrible incident. The community played a large role in the investigation of this murder and I thank them for their support."


Ireland's oldest citizen, Sarah Clancy, has died at the age of 108.

She was born on 2 May 1908 and was a native Irish speaker.
Ms Clancy was from Connemara, Co Galway, but she spent much of her life living in the US before returning home to Galway in 1988.
She died peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday morning.


Work on a major junction in Brighton has been completed despite a protest over the proposed felling of a mature elm tree.

The Seven Dials junction was labelled the "most accident prone" by Brighton and Hove City Council, with 20 accidents in the past three years.
An elm tree was due to be removed, but was saved after two protesters spent 48 hours up the tree in March.
The work included replacing a mini-roundabout and removing street clutter.
Guard railings have also been removed and the paving has been replaced.
The seven roads that meet at Seven Dials include the A2010, a major route through Brighton.


Real Madrid kept pace with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga by comfortably beating fourth-placed Villarreal at the Bernabeu.

Striker Karim Benzema instinctively headed Villarreal keeper Sergio Asenjo's parry back into an empty net to give Real a 1-0 lead at the break.
Lucas Vazquez drilled in a low second, before Luka Modric slid in to wrap up Real's eighth straight La Liga win.
Third-placed Real are a point behind the top two with four games left.
But there was a late concern for coach Zinedine Zidane when Cristiano Ronaldo limped off in injury-time.
Relive the action from Wednesday's La Liga games
Real knew they needed a victory to maintain their push for a first La Liga title since 2012 after Barca ended their three-match winless run by thumping Deportivo and Atletico edged past fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao.
And they responded with an efficient display against a toothless Villarreal side.
Real had dominated without stretching away keeper Asenjo, finally making their superiority count through Benzema's 27th goal of the season.
Vazquez, given a rare start as Gareth Bale missed out with a slight back injury, took advantage of his opportunity by converting Benzema's neat lay-off after the break.
Real never looked like letting Villarreal back into the game, sealing a routine victory through Croatia midfielder Modric.


Hardline anti-crime candidate Rodrigo "Digong" Duterte has claimed victory in the Philippine presidential election.

The official PPCRV poll monitor said the mayor of the southern city of Davao had more than 14.8m votes - about 39% - with 90% of ballots counted.
Manuel Roxas is in second place with 9m (23%). The winner is decided on a simple majority of votes cast.
Mr Duterte has been the long-time front-runner in a campaign also driven by the economy and corruption.

Who are the candidates in the Philippines' elections?
Cards Against Corruption: A game about the Philippines
President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino is standing down as the constitution limits presidents to one six-year term. Filipinos are also picking a vice-president and local officials.
The PPCRV (Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting) is accredited by the election commission to monitor counting but its reporting does not represent an official tally.
But Mr Duterte told AFP news agency as his lead appeared unassailable: "It's with humility, extreme humility, that I accept this, the mandate of the people."
He said his law and order policy had been the key to his success.
"What I can promise you is that I will do my very best not just in my waking hours but even in my sleep," he said.
Mr Duterte has made many controversial statements during his campaign, saying that he would butcher criminals.
A former state prosecutor nicknamed "The Punisher", he has been mayor of Davao for more than 22 years.
He recently joked that, as mayor, he should have been first to rape an Australian missionary murdered in a prison riot, but he later apologised.
The election campaign has also focused on reforming the economy, infrastructure, and on the territorial disputes with China in the South China Sea.
Elections here are a cheerful, communal affair with large family groups or neighbours walking into the polling stations to vote together. The constant crowds coming in and out of the elementary school in Manila's Tondo district looked hard to manage. But election officials are well-practised, and voters well-informed.
Plenty of officials were on hand to help voters manage the formidable ballot sheets, listing in this constituency dozens of candidates for the various local and national posts. The enthusiasm across the age and class spectrum for Mr Duterte in this campaign has exposed the weariness of Filipinos with the familiar political faces, who have delivered some economic improvements but little real change in the levels of poverty and corruption.
Mr Duterte has suggested he will disregard democratic checks and balances if they get in the way of fixing the country's problems.
It's a message that has excited and attracted people. Yet the numbers coming to vote here, and the positive and relaxed atmosphere, show that the faith in the familiar rituals of democracy is still as strong here as anywhere in Asia.
Populism, celebrity and ugly realities
Manuel Roxas is a former investment banker and the grandson of the first president of the Philippine Republic.
Senator Grace Poe, a former schoolteacher and first-term senator, is currently third with about 21%.
She has admitted defeat, saying: "I respect the results. Duterte has a mandate. Let's give him a chance."
President Benigno Aquino had been leading attempts to bring together other candidates in an effort to defeat Mr Duterte.
He warned that if Mr Duterte were to be elected, it could mean a return to dictatorship.
A vice-president, senators and about 18,000 local officials including mayors are also being elected.
Among the candidates for the vice-presidency is Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr, the son of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
He had been leading the count for much of the day but was overhauled by Maria Leonor Robredo. Nevertheless, the count is extremely close.
With 90% of votes counted, she has 34.89% to Mr Marcos's 34.82%, a gap of fewer than 30,000 ballots in more than 35 million cast.
More than 54 million people were registered to vote across the archipelago of 7,000 islands.
Voting had been extended for an hour in some areas after glitches with vote-counting machines.
More than 100,000 police officers were on duty amid violence ahead of the election.

Annuities have been a vital part of the pension system for millions of people, but the chancellor has announced plans that ride a coach and horses through the industry.

Not everyone needs to buy an annuity, but those who do so only have one shot - as they are buying a retirement income for the rest of their lives.
The system has been described as "disorderly" by the City watchdog, and now Chancellor George Osborne has said that many people will no longer need to buy one.
So, what are annuities and how do they work?
Individuals save into a pension during their working life and so build up a pension pot.
At some point during the first years of retirement, they will usually use the money that they have saved to buy an annuity from an insurance company.
This is a transaction that occurs once, and only once.
An annuity is an annual retirement income that is paid to them for the rest of their life.
No. Those with final-salary pensions will be awarded a pension pot linked to their salary when they finish work, so will not need an annuity.
The state pension is also unconnected to annuities.
But, for many of those who save into a defined contribution pension, there was an effective requirement to buy an annuity or face a hefty penalty.
The latest estimate is that 420,000 annuities are sold every year. As more and more people are enrolled automatically into a workplace pension, these annuities were expected to become even more common.
But in the 2014 Budget, the chancellor said he planned to scrap the requirement for those with defined contribution pensions to buy an annuity. Instead they will get free advice to decide what is best for them with regards to their pension pot.
This could mean people taking a big chunk of their savings pot to spend early in the retirement, although they will have to pay income tax on that.
Essentially, if you have saved for a pension, you will have a pot of money and you can decide what to do with it.
You may invest it yourself, you may spend it on a property, or - unsustainably - have a very good holiday.
But many people may still think that an annuity remains the best option, although the chancellor's changes may affect the competitiveness of deals.
Absolutely not.
First, there are standard annuities - available to all. Then there are enhanced annuities that can be bought by people with a lower life expectancy, generally smokers or those with a medical condition.
The latter are more generous because the insurance company is betting that they will not have to make the annual payment for very long.
When it comes to buying an annuity, retirees need to look at the rates on offer.
Yes, a little like that.
Just like savings, the financial crisis has had a big effect on the rates on offer. For many years rates were falling, but they did start to recover last year.
Ultimately, retirees need to shop around for a good rate, and often take a guess on the best timing. If they think the annuity rate might rise, then they might delay buying an annuity.
When you hand over your pension pot to a provider, they tend to invest that money in long-term government bonds, typically a 15 year gilt. The return they can offer you depends on the interest rate, or yield, on that bond. Over the year to March 2014, those yields rose from around 2.2% to 3.2%. As a result overall annuity rates have risen from around 5% to 6%.
Longevity is also an important factor. As people live longer, insurance companies expect to pay out more, in effect lowering the returns that pensioners can get.
As mentioned above, this issue is already being investigated by the regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority. Some pension companies make up to 25% of their profits from annuities, according to analysts at JP Morgan.
Pensions expert Dr Ros Altmann believes that profit margins on some annuity products are as high as 18%.
No. You have the right to shop around.
A review by the Financial Conduct Authority found that six out of 10 people stick with their original pension provider.
Some 80% of those could have had a better deal if they had got their annuity from a different provider.
This is a big financial decision and one you only make once, so it is well worthwhile doing your homework.
The independent Pensions Advisory Service and the government-backed Money Advice Service offer explanation and calculators.
But the government has promised that everyone will have access to independent advice when the new rules come in.


Hannover have sacked coach Thomas Schaaf after just 11 matches in charge of the struggling Bundesliga side.

Schaaf, 54, was appointed during the mid-winter break but has since overseen one win and 10 defeats with Hannover 10 points from safety with six games left.
The club said former under-19 coach and ex-player Daniel Stendel, 41, would take over until the end of the season.
Schaaf was previously in charge of Werder Bremen for 14 years and last season was Eintracht Frankfurt boss.


The number of illegal immigrants crossing into the US from Mexico went down by 40% from January to February, according to the US government.

Homeland Security chief John Kelly said the "change in trends" was a result of Donald Trump's tough policies.
The president has signed an executive order for an "impassable physical barrier" on the US-Mexico border and issued new guidance on deportations.
The measures have been condemned by Mexico as "hostile" and "unacceptable".
An estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the US, many from Mexico.
Mr Kelly said on Wednesday that the number of "inadmissible persons" crossing the US-Mexico border had dropped this year from 31,578 to 18,762 in January to February - a period when the number of arrests of illegal immigrants normally increases.
"Since the administration's implementation of executive orders to enforce immigration laws, apprehensions and inadmissible activity is trending toward the lowest monthly total in at least the last five years," he said.
New rules announced by Mr Trump's administration last month included plans to send undocumented people to Mexico, even if they are not Mexicans, and expand the criteria for immediate deportations.
The government said the new guidelines would not usher in mass deportations, but were designed to empower agents to enforce laws already on the books.
Mr Trump has also ordered  a wall be built on the Mexican border and insisted Mexico will pay for it, despite its repeated refusals.
The president made immigration and border control a key part of his election campaign, promising to protect Americans from "bad dudes".
Meanwhile, his revised travel ban, signed on Monday, barring people from six mainly Muslim countries has faced its first legal challenge from the state of Hawaii.
State lawyers have asked for an emergency block on the order, saying the measure will harm its residents, businesses and schools.
Mr Trump's previous order was halted by the US federal courts amid concerns that it unfairly targeted Muslims. It caused chaos at airports and mass protests.
Although the revised measure removed some of the more controversial language on religious minorities, Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin said it still constituted a "Muslim ban" due to the countries involved and past statements from the administration.
The directive, which includes a 120-day ban on all refugees, takes effect on 16 March.
Citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, the other six countries on the original 27 January order, will once more be subject to a 90-day travel ban.


Some 170 men who had their prostate removed have been recalled after the surgeon was investigated, the Heart of England NHS Trust has said.

Dr Arackal Manu Nair, who appeared on television show Embarrassing Bodies, resigned after the General Medical Council put restrictions on his work.
Lawyers for the patients allege one man Mr Manu Nair operated on did not have cancer, while another was left incontinent and infertile.
The trust apologised for the distress.
A 63-year-old man who was diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent surgery to remove it was later told he did not need the operation, said medical negligence solicitor Adam Wright.
He represents another patient who said he was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer and told he faced a "life or death situation".
The man, who did not wish to be named, said he paid ??12,000 to receive the treatment privately to avoid NHS waiting times.
He said he underwent a laser treatment by Mr Manu Nair in 2012 that left him infertile and incontinent.
He said: "My whole way of life has changed and being told that I can no longer have children is just soul-destroying."
He said another urologist has since told him he was "misled to some extent that this was aggressive cancer".
Heart of England, which runs Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham, shared concerns with private hospitals, Spire Parkway in Solihull and BMI The Priory in Birmingham.
The hospital bosses asked the Royal College of Surgeons to independently review Mr Manu Nair's surgical practices and he was suspended.
It is understood the General Medical Council banned Mr Manu Nair from private practice and stated any NHS work must be supervised.
He was also told he must not carry out procedures to remove the prostate or Green Light Laser treatment to reduce its size.


Coronation Street actor Marc Anwar has been sacked for allegedly posting tweets about Indians which ITV said were "racially offensive".

ITV said the Pakistan-born actor, 45, who joined the soap as Sharif Nazir in February 2014, would not be returning to the show "with immediate effect".
Screenshots of messages posted on his private Twitter account appear to hit out at Indians over Kashmir.
They include offensive language used to refer to Indian people.
The screenshots, posted first by the Sunday Mirror, also call for Pakistani actors to stop working in the country.
The alleged comments come after the Indian army said it killed a militant in a gunfight in the disputed region of Kashmir, which is claimed by both India and Pakistan.
Mr Anwar's character had been a member of the first Muslim family on the street.
In a statement, ITV said: "We are deeply shocked by the entirely unacceptable, racially offensive comments made on Twitter by Marc Anwar.
"We have talked to Marc and, as a consequence of his comments, he will not be returning to Coronation Street with immediate effect."
ITV confirmed that pre-filmed episodes with the actor, who has also appeared in Hollywood films such as Captain Phillips and 51st State, will still air but his presence in the show will be minimised until his character can be written out.

David Cameron has said a vote to leave the European Union risks having to implement checks on people leaving Northern Ireland for other parts of the United Kingdom.

The referendum on the UK membership of the EU will be held on 23 June.
Mr Cameron was speaking at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday.
He was asked by the SDLP's Alasdair McDonnell if a so-called Brexit meant a return to border customs posts and checkpoints on the Irish border.
During 30 years of the Troubles security checkpoints were common place on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Mr Cameron replied in a leave scenario there could be new border controls or "some sort of checks" as people left Belfast to go to the rest of the UK.
However 'Leave' campaigner, the DUP's Sammy Wilson, has previously told the BBC he does not believe there would be Irish border controls.
"There's a land border between France and Switzerland and you don't have sealing of the border, so why would Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland be any different?"
Meanwhile, the DUP has confirmed it will join with rebel Conservative MPs in opposing the chancellor's plans for a special Brexit budget in the event of a Leave vote in next week's EU referendum.
The party's eight MPs will ally themselves with up to 57 Conservatives in voting against such a budget.
