In explaining its shock decision to delay the deal on Hinkley Point, the government said it needed time to consider all components of the deal, but speculation is growing that China questions may be at the heart of the reassessment.

Under the existing terms of the £18bn project, a Chinese company is to finance a third of the new Hinkley Point C reactors and may later build a Chinese-designed nuclear power station in Essex.
So what's the difference between a French company and a Chinese one when it comes to the UK's critical infrastructure?
How you answer that question depends on your assessment of China and its intentions.
This is a fiendishly difficult calculation.
China is a moving target, and a huge, contradictory and complex one at that.
In 2016 it is already not the country that David Cameron faced when he became prime minister six years ago. and not the China that former George Osborne set out to woo for investment in the UK's infrastructure upgrade.
Beijing is more powerful and its global agenda more assertive. At home, its political crackdown puts it increasingly at odds with British values.
Should any of this matter? The UK already has a Chinese company, Huawei, running key parts of its telecommunications network.
Arguably nuclear energy is likewise a business relationship subject to similar national security safeguards.
But led by the United States, several other western countries have barred Huawei's involvement in key telecommunications networks on national security grounds.
And no other major developed economy has invited Chinese involvement in a key nuclear energy project.
Two years ago the German Chancellor Angela Merkel asked her Australian counterpart what drove his country's policy on China, and he answered "fear and greed".
In the absence of political change in China, this blunt assessment sums up the calculus for many countries, though the exact proportions of each differ depending on circumstance.
Some in the British political and security establishment felt that under the previous government's declared "golden era" with China, there was not enough fear in London and too much greed.
One such was the prime minister's joint chief of staff Nick Timothy.
In comments which have received enormous scrutiny since Thursday night's surprise announcement that the Hinkley Point deal would be delayed, Mr Timothy wrote last October on the eve of the Chinese president's state visit to the UK:
"Security experts - reportedly inside as well as outside government - are worried that the Chinese could use their role to build weaknesses into computer systems which will allow them to shut down Britain's energy production at will…
"MI5 believes that 'the intelligence services of… China… continue to work against UK interests at home and abroad'."
According to the former Business Secretary Vince Cable, the then home secretary did raise national security concerns about the Hinkley Point deal in cabinet.
Sir Vince described Mrs May as "unhappy about the rather gung-ho approach to Chinese investment that we had, and that George Osborne in particular was promoting and, as I recall, raised objections to Hinkley at that time".
Interestingly, Mrs May's less "gung ho" attitude on China was already evident in another dimension.
As home secretary, she intervened personally when it emerged that the dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei had been granted only a 20-day visa to launch his exhibition at London's Royal Academy.
Ms May overturned that decision, ordered a six-month visa and apologised to Mr Ai.
So perhaps we will see a more nuanced policy to China under this new government.
But this, too, is hard to get right.
Some in the business and political community will remind Mrs May that her predecessor learned early what it was to feel Beijing's wrath when he ignored Chinese protests and met the Dalai Lama in 2012.
As a result, no senior figure in the British government was invited to China for the following 18 months - and when Mr Cameron did finally visit, it was after George Osborne had wrested control of UK-China policy from the more cautious Foreign Office to launch what he called "the next big step", a very business-oriented relationship which culminated in President Xi's state visit to the UK last October.
It's worth remembering that the Hinkley Point deal was the centrepiece of that visit, the symbol of the "golden era" in relations that both governments hoped to launch.
And Beijing has good reason for investing political capital in the nuclear energy relationship.
China has more than 30 nuclear power stations at home and nearly as many under construction.
Exporting its nuclear technology is now the priority, and although it has customers like Pakistan in the developing world, the UK's track record and internationally respected safety regime would make it a hugely valuable showcase.
China's embassy in London said on Saturday that Chinese involvement in Hinkley Point is a "win-win", and UK enthusiasts insists Chinese technology is cheap and safe and that China has too much at stake to want to "shut down Britain's energy production at will", as Mr Timothy put it.
But if at the end of her review, Mrs May does decide she's unsure about future Chinese intentions and wants to renegotiate, what will happen?
Could she have Chinese investment for Hinkley Point without any strings attached about a Chinese-designed and built nuclear power station down the line?
At this point, we just don't know, but one answer may be no, and if she then walks away, she risks making China angry.
Now that would cause problems for another stated government goal.
Mrs May is only prime minister because of the Brexit vote, and in a world where the UK stands outside the European Union, it may want to work harder at its economic relationship China.
Last weekend, Chancellor Philip Hammond was in Beijing and raised the possibility of a free trade agreement.
If Chinese pique over a reverse on nuclear energy landed the British government back on what many in Whitehall called China's "naughty step", trade negotiations would go into the freezer and howls of protest would follow from those in the business community who were hoping to realise Mr Osborne's "golden decade" in economic relations.
It's possible that Mrs May won't get to this point in her reassessment, but if she does, she may reflect that if China is minded to exact a price for a change of heart on a business deal, the price for other differences of opinion might become unacceptably high if the same China was in control of a British nuclear power station.
Which then brings the prime minister to the question of how other world leaders manage difficulties in their relationship with China.
Size and strategic dominance puts the United States in a different class, but there's an interesting model closer to home.
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel manages to have a close and profitable business relationship with Beijing at the same time as being much more robust in defence of German interests, and much more vocal on other issues like China's territorial assertiveness and its crackdown on human rights and freedom of speech.
In Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne, Chinese leaders have grown used to British partners who kept most differences behind closed doors, whether on steel dumping, Hong Kong, locking up lawyers or the South China Sea.
It would be an ironic twist if one result of the Brexit vote was a reset of UK China policy which put that policy back in line with its more robust EU partners.
A month ago, Brexit looked like one set of problems for China, mostly focused on economic fears. Now with her Hinkley Point pause, Ms May has delivered a wholly new set of problems.
But while Chinese leaders may not like the unpredictable and inconvenient U-turns in policy and style that come with messy democracies, they are increasingly adept at handling them.
From the United States to Sri Lanka and Myanmar, Beijing plays a long and pragmatic game when it comes to new governments.
So China liked the Cameron-Osborne team and got used to the chancellor calling the tune on UK-China policy.
But with this signal that key decision making has moved from No 11 to No 10 Downing St, Beijing will be working hard to map the players in the May team, and when the prime minister finishes her assessment of the Hinkley Point deal and announces the outcome, you can be sure Beijing will be ready for her.


Pub and restaurant group Mitchells & Butlers (M&B) has appointed the director of a rival company as its new chief executive.

Alistair Darby, who is currently chief operating officer at Marston's, will take up the top job at M&B in October.
He will become M&B's first permanent chief executive since Adam Fowle resigned back in March 2011.
M&G owns the All Bar One, Harvester, Toby Carvery and O'Neills chains, with more than 1,500 outlets overall.
Mr Alistair Darby will take over the chief executive role from Bob Ivell who has been combining it with his position as chairman on a stand-in basis since October of last year.
Mr Ivell said the appointment of Mr Darby had followed an "extensive and rigorous" search process.
He added: "I am confident that we have secured the right person for the role and that drawing on his wealth of operational and brand experience."


Castleford Tigers came from behind to beat St Helens at The Jungle and extend their lead at the top of Super League to four points.

The Tigers trailed 12-4 at the break after tries from Mark Percival and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook.
However, Cas, for whom debutant Kieran Gill scored in the first half, reduced the deficit through Mike McMeeken.
Tom Holmes crossed to secure a seventh straight victory for Daryl Powell's side.
Second-placed Salford Red Devils were beaten 34-24 at home by Wakefield.
Powell, whose side played three games in nine days last week, made several changes, following the lead of other Super League coaches this weekend as he described their schedule as "a nonsense" and "appalling".
In contrast, Saints, who went into the game after a nine-day rest, will be disappointed they did not do more with the pressure they had at the start of the second half when leading by eight points.
Cas return to action with a home game against struggling Warrington next Sunday, while Saints host improving Widnes on Friday.
Castleford coach Daryl Powell:
"It's one of the biggest wins I've been involved in.
"For a team that had been played about with to roll into a game against opposition that had a significant rest period on us and a full-strength team and come out with that kind of performance was awesome.
"We had to dig in right at the end and the amount of scrambled tackles to keep them out shows the character we've got.
"What we've become as a club is we've got genuine depth and belief that we've got something special here."
St Helens coach Justin Holbrook:
"We knew it was going to be a tough game and it would have been great to win. To fall just short is very disappointing.
"Castleford obviously weren't at full strength but they haven't lost here for a reason. They're a very good footy side and they showed that again today.
"But it was a missed opportunity. They had the luxury to rest a few today because of where they are sitting in the table and they earned that.
"For us to fall just short, it's really costly for where we're sitting in the table.
"It was disappointing we didn't get the win but I'm really happy with the squad and we came really close today. It's important we just move on to next week."
Castleford: Eden; Gill, Webster, Monaghan, Minikin; Roberts, T Holmes; Lynch, McShane, Massey, Foster, Larroyer, Sene-Lefao.
Replacements: McMeeken, Moors, Hitchcox, Trueman.
St Helens: Makinson; Swift, Morgan, Percival, Grace; Lomax, Smith; Walmsley, Roby, Amor, Taia, Wilkin, Knowles.
Replacements: Lee, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Douglas, Thompson.
Referee: Chris Campbell (RFL).


A field where a cargo plane crashed and burst into flames, is set to be dug up to stop hazardous chemicals entering Guernsey's water supply.

Foam used by firefighters to tackle the blaze when the plane from Luton came down, in 1999, had unsafe levels of acid in it, investigators found.
Guernsey Water, said regular tests were carried out in the years since and no contaminated water entered the supply.
Andrew Redhead, of the firm, said: "There is no danger to the public."
Tests carried out at the site showed Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), which was previously used in firefighting foam, had been found to be 10 times the safe limit, Mr Redhead said.
He said: "This particular field drains down to Petit Bot and Petit Bot is a pumping station where we're able to take water quality samples.
"If the water there isn't of a satisfactory standard then we don't pump it up and over into the reservoir.
"We make sure the water quality is tested very rigorously throughout the island and I can assure you the water is perfectly safe to drink."
A Public Services Department spokesman said as PFOS was being detected in ground water they wanted to remove the soil "to protect supplies".
About 14,000 tonnes of soil, contaminated by the same chemical, at the island's airport was removed last year and placed in a sealed container in a raised grass bund outside the airport entrance as part of an ??80m airfield refurbishment.
The soil from the field, which covers an area of about 60m (200ft) by 30m (100ft) to a depth of 2m (7ft), is due to be put in a smaller container at the western end of the bund.
The Public Services Department is currently looking for a company to apply to carry out the work, which it hopes will be carried out in the late summer or early autumn during drier weather.
The chemical entered the soil when the airport fire and rescue service controlled a blaze caused by a cargo plane crashing into the field on 12 January 1999.
The Channel Express Fokker F-27 had flown in from Luton to deliver a total of three tonnes of newspapers to the island and was on its final approach when it suddenly pitched, stalled, span and hit the roof of a nearby house before crashing into the field.
Two crew members on board, Captain Martin Bulgin, 36, from Dorset and First Officer Ian Rhodes, 41, who lived in Swindon, died in the crash.
Reports at the time said it was "miraculous" no one on the ground was hurt as the owners of the house hit by the plane were in another part of the building.
A row of houses were also only several feet from the crash site.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch report, released in April 2000, concluded the crash was caused because of incorrect storage of the newspapers on board, affecting  the twin-engined plane's weight distribution.


A dying man flagged down a refuse truck for help after being attacked in a Glasgow street, a court has heard.

Cleansing worker Paul Donohoe, 54, told the High Court in Glasgow that his colleague called an ambulance for 76-year-old John Baker.
He said the injured man had called out: "I've got a bad heart, I can't breathe right", before passing out.
Peter Telfer, 25, denies murdering Mr Baker in the Calton area on 29 June 2016.
Mr Telfer is also accused of assaulting and attempting to rob shop worker Owaisuddin Siddique and carrying a knife on 24 June.
He also faces a string of charges including behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at various streets in Glasgow city centre and assaulting and robbing two women of their handbags on 28 June.
Mr Telfer allegedly attempted to defeat the ends of justice, and has also been charged with possessing cannabis.
Giving evidence at the trial, Mr Donohoe described how he and his two colleagues were told by John Baker "I've been stabbed".
A recording of the 999 call made by his colleague Alan Miller was played to jurors.
One of the workmen can be heard on a recording to the emergency services saying there was "blood coming from his mouth" and "I can't feel a pulse".
A voice in the background could be heard saying there were two wounds on Mr Baker's back and he was having "trouble breathing".
The trial before judge Lord Matthews continues.


Swansea City manager Francesco Guidolin says Ki Sung-yueng's "attitude" was "not good" when he was substituted in their 1-0 defeat at Southampton.

The South Korea international midfielder looked unhappy and did not shake Guidolin's hand when he was replaced in the second half.
"This is not a good attitude. I have to speak with him," said Guidolin.
A week earlier the manager apologised to Neil Taylor after he was substituted in their 2-2 draw with Chelsea.
After losing at St Mary's and dropping to 15th in the Premier League, Guidolin denied players are unhappy with his management.
"I respect all people, all my players because the relationship is the most important thing for me.
"In this league, in this squad I've found good, good guys. Good players - no problem for relationships.
"I can understand [Ki's disappointment], but it's not a good situation."
Guidolin admitted to being worried by his side not creating enough goal scoring chances.
Swans now face Premier League leaders Manchester City twice at Liberty Stadium this week.
They meet in the EFL Cup third round on Wednesday, then again in the Premier League on Saturday with Liverpool the next visitors to west Wales.
Guidolin has promised changes for the midweek cup match with Taylor already having been told he will be involved.
"It's impossible to play three games with the same line-up," said Guidolin, adding: "Neil Taylor will play on Wednesday."

BAE Systems is planning to axe more than 600 jobs and close its Newcastle factory where tanks were made for World War I.

Subject to consultation, some 620 jobs could be lost at sites across the UK, including up to 330 at Newcastle.
About 200 jobs will be lost at sites in its munitions business, including Radway Green near Crewe and Glascoed, near Pontypool and 97 in Washington.
Up to 10 jobs may go at the firm's head office in Farnborough, Hampshire.
The firm said the proposals, now under consultation, followed major efficiency improvements and reductions in orders required by the Ministry of Defence.
BAE said the proposal to close the old Vickers site in Newcastle at the end of 2013 followed a business review that concluded that there was no prospect of new UK armoured vehicle manufacturing work once production of the Terrier ends.
Managing director Charlie Blakemore said: "We need to adapt to very challenging market conditions and further reduce our overheads to drive better value for our customers and increase our competitiveness in the export market.
"I know that this is difficult news for employees and we will do all we can to help them through this difficult period and mitigate the proposed job losses wherever possible."
Leader of Newcastle City Council, Nick Forbes, said: "This is devastating news for the city and the region, and a tragedy for the 330 workers and their families.
"Our top priority is the future of the workers, so I have asked the council's chief executive to set up a taskforce which will help the workers find alternative employment and bring all the relevant public and private partners together to respond effectively.
"Bearing in mind that these are highly skilled engineering and manufacturing jobs, and we have until the end 2013 when the plant will close, I am confident that we will be able to help find them jobs elsewhere so their skills are not lost to the region.
"Manufacturing on the Tyne has a proud history, but also great potential for the future."
Rehana Azam, national officer of the GMB union, said: "BAE Systems have a highly experienced and skilled workforce and these job cuts are yet another blow to manufacturing.
"Representations are being made to MPs to see what can be done to retain skills within BAE Systems and in traditional industrial areas of the UK."
Kevin Rowan, regional secretary of the Northern TUC said: "The announcement from BAE Systems is a hammer blow to North East manufacturing.
"Losing so many highly skilled and well paid jobs is devastating for all individuals concerned as well as to our local economy."
The efficiency improvements stem from a Â£200m five-year transformation programme launched following a 15-year partnering agreement signed with the MoD in 2008.
The company has already announced the consolidation of the rest of its UK armoured vehicle support work into its Telford facility in Shropshire.


UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill faced questions from an audience in Swansea in the second of a daily series of live BBC TV election specials.

Nathan Gill was a Conservative until 2004 when he was inspired by Nigel Farage's performance on Question Time to vote UKIP at that year's European election, joining the party a year later.
He was soon on the campaign trail - his mother was UKIP candidate in the 2005 general election for Ynys Mon, where the family live.
Mr Gill was elected as an MEP in 2014 after UKIP finished a close second in Wales behind Labour.
A fair bit of controversy has followed - he denied employing migrant workers at a care home he ran which was at odds with UKIP policy.
In the 2015 general election campaign Mr Gill was criticised for saying man was not responsible for climate change.
And in the run-up to the Welsh Assembly election he has faced a petition calling for his resignation as UKIP Wales leader amid a row over candidate selection.
Despite controversy, opinion polls have suggested UKIP could have a significant presence in the Welsh Assembly after the election due to the proportional nature of the regional votes.
Question 1:  Did political correctness kill the early debates on immigration?
Answer:  Mr Gill said it did, and denied UKIP was a racist party, claiming its immigration policy was fairer than other parties, because it did not discriminate in favour of EU member states.  He claimed immigration into Wales had been "too much, too fast", and said it was high in people's minds even at the assembly election.  Mr Gill said people had a right to be concerned if immigration meant they were unable to get housing or a job. He said UKIP was calling for an Australian-style points-based system to allow skilled workers into Britain.
Question 2:  I'm a retired teacher and think it's a myth that selection produces better results for all children. So why do you want to bring back grammar schools?
Answer: Mr Gill said social mobility had gone backwards over the last 30 years.  He argued that grammar schools would boost opportunities for more academic children, while those looking for more vocational qualifications should also be supported. "One size doesn't fit all," he insisted.
Question 3: What are you doing to help protect our environment and society from the effects of climate change?
Answer: Mr Gill said he was "very, very sceptical" that mankind has an effect on the climate, saying spending money to tackle it was wasted. He pointed out that scientists supporting the idea that humans were the dominant cause were paid by the UN to do the research.  "We've got computers, we've got the internet - do your own research," he told the audience.
Question 4: Do you agree that the M4 relief road is even more vital now as the materials used to build it could bring much needed work to the steel industry in Wales?
Answer: Mr Gill said he would "break EU law" to ensure that everything built in Wales was built with Welsh steel.  He said he would cut business rates to zero, and would "take down the Senedd's EU flag" in order to do it.  Mr Gill said he questioned the point of intervening in the steel crisis if the UK could not affect the cheap Chinese steel "dumped on us".
Question 5: Have the UKIP 'stars of the party' been forced on us in Wales in the regional list system?
Answer:  Mr Gill said he would "probably not" have allowed people to "come in over our hard working Welsh membership", but suggested his power over the choice of candidates was limited.  But he said figures such as former MPs Mark Reckless and Neil Hamilton were assets to the party who offered great experience.

Ian Cathro will be confirmed as Steve McClaren's assistant at Newcastle within the next 48 hours.

The 28-year-old will sign his contract on Tuesday and will be in place as pre-season training starts on Wednesday.
The Scot left Valencia in May but said leaving Champions League football for a club who narrowly avoided Premier League relegation is a positive move.
"It's a forward step to a different type of football. Not stronger or weaker, different," he told BBC Sport.
Cathro decided in February to vacate his role at Valencia - a position that seems likely to be filled by former Manchester United assistant Phil Neville - partly because he was keen to be closer to his family in Dundee, but also because he was eager to become a manager in his own right.
Indeed, he was only dissuaded from doing so a year previously when head coach Nuno Espirito Santo asked his assistant to join him in making the move from Portuguese top flight side Rio Ave to Valencia.
But Cathro, who held talks with Rangers before the appointment of Mark Warburton as the Ibrox club's manager, refused to entertain suggestions that accepting a role on the Newcastle staff was at odds with his stated ambitions.
"I wanted a fresh challenge and didn't want to just sit it out over there and wait for the right manager's job to come up," he said.
"To come into British football as a manager with no experience of working with English-speaking players is perhaps not advisable anyway so this makes perfect sense."
Ill-feeling and despair enveloped St James' Park last season, with fans angered by an apparent lack of interest and ambition on the part of owner Mike Ashley.
However, Ashley's assurances over his commitment, promise of more investment and the appointment of McClaren have lifted spirits and convinced Cathro of the club's potential.
"Steve coming in has brought a freshness and enthusiasm to get the club back to where it should be and serve the love that exists for it," Cathro added.
"I'm convinced that it's a club willing to grow and would be comfortable higher in the league. It's now ready to do that."
A parallel could be drawn with the Valencia that Cathro discovered upon his arrival. The club were in flux off the pitch and floundering on it, having failed to qualify for European football the previous season.
By the time he left 12 months later, the Mestalla outfit were in the Champions League qualifying round.
It is a lot to leave behind, but Cathro has no regrets.
"I'm completely comfortable with it," he said. "I'm going to watch Valencia in the Champions League and in La Liga and enjoy them playing in wonderful games in great stadiums.
"But I've no fear of missing out because the intention is to go to that level again. If that was with Newcastle, that would be perfect, but if not I'll certainly be back working abroad in the next five to 10 years."
Such confidence was partly what attracted Rangers to Cathro during their search for a new manager.
It had been suggested that his decision to leave Spain was informed by that interest but the former Dundee United youth coach is adamant that the initial contact and two informal meetings with Ibrox directors Paul Murray and John Gilligan only came after he had decided to return to Scotland.
"I was interested in the uniqueness of the challenge," he said. "And it would be foolish not to talk to them, but it may not have been the correct conditions for me to begin as a manager and perhaps they adopted a similar view.
"It was a positive experience and I'd wish them well because they demonstrated that they were keen to really look at what caused the issues on the football side in the past and build something different."


Gary Neville has claimed England would not have won the 2010 World Cup even if his former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had been in charge.

England went out at the second-round stage last summer, with Neville citing a lack of strength in depth and skill as reasons for their failures.
"Ferguson may have got more out of the squad," Neville told BBC Radio 5 live.
"But the reality is would we have beaten Spain in the last World Cup? No, because they were better than England."
Neville made his England debut in 1995 and is the country's most-capped right-back, having made 85 appearances in his 14 years as a player.
But the national side only once got beyond the quarter-finals of a major tournament in that time, reaching the semi-finals of Euro 96 - and that record has led the former United defender, who retired in February 2011, to call his international career a "wasted opportunity".
Speaking ahead of England's Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria on Friday, he told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme: "I loved playing for England but we've fallen short and I've contributed to that over the last 10 years as much as anyone.
"The analogy I use is if a man takes a woman out 85 times and then she's not your girlfriend at the end of it, you've wasted a lot of time.
"You measure success by achieving things. We got to the quarter-finals but that's falling short because we were not getting to European Championships and World Cup finals.
"Over the last 10 or 15 years, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal and Brazil have all been better than England.
"We need more players of higher quality who can keep the ball."
Neville, though, has high hopes for the future, with the likes of Tom Cleverley, Danny Welbeck, Jack Wilshere, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling breaking into the England set-up.
"I see a different type of player coming through - a more intelligent type of player," he said. "Players who grew up in the 1970s and 80s watched a more straight up-and-down football.
"But since the likes of [Gianfranco] Zola, [Dennis] Bergkamp, [Eric] Cantona and [Cristiano] Ronaldo came in, players are looking at more technically skilled and cultured players and England will get the benefit.
"The likes of Wilshere and Cleverley will give England a better chance of winning the World Cup.
"You cannot win [major tournaments] without keeping possession of the ball - and I see players now who can keep the ball more."

Manchester United top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic and defender Marcos Rojo suffered suspected knee injuries in the Europa League win over Anderlecht.

Ibrahimovic, 35, landed awkwardly when challenging for the ball, while Rojo, 27, was replaced on 23 minutes after colliding with a visiting player.
Boss Jose Mourinho said the early news on the injuries is "fairly negative".
He added: "I want to wait but my feeling is not good for both. I want to wait and be optimistic but I am not."
Ibrahimovic, who has scored 28 goals this season since his free transfer from Paris St-Germain in the summer, is yet to agree an extension on his one-year United deal.
Rojo's injury means he joins fellow defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones on United's injury list.
Against Anderlecht, Daley Blind played the remainder of the game in place of the Argentine and may keep his place alongside centre-back Eric Bailly for Sunday's Premier league trip to Burnley (kick-off 14:15 BST).

Smalling has a knee injury sustained on England duty while Jones suffered a foot problem in a tackle with Smalling in training before England's friendly against Germany in Dusseldorf last month.
Mourinho added: "They have to be brave now. If it was me, it [returning from injury] would be tomorrow.
"It is time for Jones and Smalling to be brave, to risk, because for the team we have to do everything. That is the way we think.
"We cannot do miracles. Miracles I don't expect - but you have to try to do everything to accelerate the process.
"They cannot make miracles. They are injured and they cannot make Sunday.
"They cannot do miracles but with a special spirit, instead of coming back mid-May you can come back at the beginning of May. They could accelerate the process."

Manchester United switch their focus back to the Premier League as they travel to Burnley on Sunday (14:15 BST) before travelling to Manchester City on 27 April (20:00).


Harry Redknapp's second game in charge of Jordan ended in a 5-1 defeat to Australia in 2018 World Cup qualifying.

The former West Ham, Portsmouth, Tottenham and QPR boss began his reign with an 8-0 thrashing of Bangladesh.
But two goals by Tim Cahill plus strikes for Aaron Mooy, Tom Rogic and Massimo Luongo sealed a comfortable success before Abadallah Deeb reduced the deficit on 90 minutes in Sydney.
Englishman Redknapp is only contracted for two games as Jordan boss.
"I've enjoyed it apart from today," he said. "No one enjoys standing on the touchline getting well beat."
He added: "The players did their best. We all did our best but what can you do? I've been here five or six days, what can you do?
"The players are the players, I can't suddenly bring in Ronaldo. It is what it is. They tried their best but they were beaten by a better team."
Redknapp said Jordan would need to make changes if they ever hoped to qualify for a World Cup for the first time.
"The whole structure, the set-up needs so much work," he said. "We've got no analyst, we don't have anything on the opposition, we don't have sports scientist."
Jordan had inflicted the only defeat of the campaign on Australia, who progress to the next round of Asian qualifying after topping Group B.
Jordan are second in the table and could still make it through.


Ninety jobs are to go at oil giant Shell's North Sea headquarters in Aberdeen.

Shell said the cuts would help it maintain competitiveness and ensure the long-term sustainability of the North Sea business.
Of the 90 posts going, half are full-time employees with the rest made up of agency staff and contractors.
The jobs are expected to go by the end of the year.
Shell's 1,700-strong workforce in Aberdeen were told about the redundancies at meetings on Thursday morning.
No jobs will be lost offshore.
Shell announced in January it had agreed to sell $3.8bn (Â£2.46bn) worth of North Sea assets to oil exploration firm Chrysaor.


Scots Alan Forsyth and Chris Grassick have retained their places in the Great Britain Hockey senior programme for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

Paisley's Forsyth, 24, is with the Scotland squad in Spain for three Tests against Russia.
His Surbiton club-mate Grassick, 26, is currently recovering from a cruciate ligament injury.
"It's good to see the hard work of the players over the years has paid off," said Scotland coach Derek Forsyth.
"Hopefully they can push on for selection."
Forsyth's GB Men's counterpart Bobby Crutchley said he was "excited about the challenge" of preparing for the 2020 Olympics.
"We have a vibrant squad with a good blend of youth and experience and we're eager to get going.
"We're very excited about this new group. There's been significant change and we're looking forward to developing the players."

Goals from Alex Kiwomya and Danny Hollands earned Crewe Alexandra a hard-fought win over Exeter City in League Two.

Chelsea loanee Kiwomya's first-half strike put the Railwaymen in front with the fourth goal of his loan spell at Gresty Road.
Kiwomya punished Exeter's high line when he ran clear onto George Cooper's high ball over the top and fired into the bottom corner.
Chris Dagnall should have doubled Crewe's lead after latching onto Jack Stacey's mistake, rounding Olejnik only to drag his shot past the post from a tight angle.
After the break Stacey clipped the crossbar with a chip and Jake Taylor's deflected shot fizzed wide as the Grecians threatened to level.
Dagnall's luck was out again when his angled drive crashed onto the post as City were put under the cosh after half-time.
Olejnik tipped over Jon Guthrie's header, but was beaten by midfielder Hollands who got in behind to shoot under Bobby Olejnik with three minutes left.

Goalkeeper Gemma Fay thinks a point in Iceland in September will be enough to secure Scotland Women a first-ever place at a major finals.

Iceland lead Anna Signeul's Scots on goal difference - both have 18 points - in Group 1 and have a game in hand.
But seven of the eight runners-up will still qualify for Euro 2017.
"We reckon that 19 points will secure a place, but it depends on other groups," Fay told BBC Scotland after her side's 1-0 win over Belarus in Minsk.
The Scots had taken over at the top of their group for a couple of hours until Iceland recorded a thumping 8-0 win over bottom side Macedonia.
France, Germany and Switzerland have already qualified for the finals as group winners, but the winners in the other five - and the runners-up places - are still to be decided.
Scotland are already assured of at least a play-off place - with the two worst-placed runners-up facing an extra tie to decide who misses out.
"It is a really exciting qualification this time round because there's still a whole load of spots up for grabs on the last weekend in September," she said.
"We are well placed, but until the fat lady sings, we are not counting any chickens."
Scotland lost their 100% record in the group when they slumped to a 4-0 defeat at home to Iceland on Friday.
Fay believes that the Scots can gain revenge in September, but they would have to beat the side sitting one place above them in the world rankings by 5-0 to top the group if Iceland beat Belarus on 15 September.
"We've beaten Iceland before and I think it is the first time we have lost to them in a while," she said.
"But, in all honesty, if we are one of the group winners or one of the best six runners-up, I am not too fussed.
"It will be more about the performance against Iceland - we owe it to ourselves and we owe it to the country to put in a better performance."
A Jo Love goal after 15 minutes was enough for the Scots in Minsk against a side they thumped 7-0 at Fir Park in October.
"I guess people will see that score from October and think that 1-0 is not so great, but they had a different goalkeeper in and she made three, four, maybe more, fantastic saves," said Fay.
"We dominated possession, but I don't think we were ever in any danger of not winning the game and it was a very professional performance to secure the victory we needed."


Campaigners in Lancashire are seeking a judicial review of a council decision to allow seismic monitoring on a planned fracking site.

In June, Lancashire County Council rejected Cuadrilla's fracking application at Roseacre Wood but backed the firm's bid for a monitoring array.
Roseacre Awareness Group (RAG) said the fracking refusal removed the need for monitoring and is lodging papers at the High Court.
The council is yet to respond.
Cuadrilla said it recognised the move by campaigners was "part of the democratic process".
The energy firm is appealing against the decision to refuse permission to drill and frack at Roseacre Wood and a second site at Little Plumpton.
It is also appealing against conditions imposed on the monitoring array at Roseacre Wood which it believed were "not necessary".
Cuadrilla plans to install 91 monitors and dig three boreholes, to monitor seismic activity and water quality.
The boreholes are drilled using a very small truck loaded rig, the firm said.
Chair of the Roseacre Awareness Group Elizabeth Warner said: "These conditions are designed to protect people, environment and wildlife.
"The monitoring array is over 4 km and will affect about 10 communities. It would have significant impact."
The decision to grant the monitoring array after refusing the fracking application was "bizarre", she added.
"We're not dinosaurs, we recognise there has to be development but there clearly should be a need for that development.
"The need for monitoring was outlined as mitigation works for the main application, that need dissolved when the fracking application was refused."
The group's barrister will set out the campaigners' case at the High Court and a judge will decide if it should proceed to judicial review.
"Our hope is the judge will see the fatal flaw in the process and grant permission to proceed," said Ms Warner.
Campaigners have raised Â£8,000, through crowd funding and fundraisers, to cover legal costs and potential damages.
Ms Warner added: "This is a David and Goliath situation. Cuadrilla have spent about Â£100m overall.
"We have raised about Â£8,000 over the last 18 months to fight them. They have spent loads and loads and we were at Garstang show with a bucket trying to raise funds."
Fracking - or hydraulic fracturing - was suspended in the UK in 2011 following earth tremors in Blackpool where Cuadrilla previously drilled.
It is a technique in which water and chemicals are pumped into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas.


Carlingford Lough landed his fifth Grade One triumph as Cue Card came a tired fourth in the Gold Cup at the Punchestown Festival.

Cue Card, winner of the Betfred Bowl at Aintree, was an odds-on favourite but Barry Geraghty rode the John Kiely-trained Carlingford Lough to victory.
Djakadam was second, with stable companion Don Poli in third.
Carlingford Lough won the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown in February before finishing fourth at Cheltenham.
Kiely's charge, winner of the Galway Plate in 2013, was sent off 12-1 in a market dominated by much-loved British challenger Cue Card.
Road To Riches took the field along for much of the race and was tracked into the straight by Djakadam and Don Poli, second and third respectively in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
Cue Card, who suffered a dramatic fall at Cheltenham before winning convincingly at Aintree, did not travel with his usual panache, and had ground to make up turning for home.
The complexion of the race changed at the second-last, however, with Road To Riches coming to grief and both Djakadam and Don Poli beginning to falter.
Carlingford Lough made the most of the opportunity, joining Djakadam for the lead at the final fence before going on to triumph by four and a half lengths.
Joe Tizzard, son of and assistant to Cue Card's trainer Colin, put defeat down to it being "the end of a long season".
"He'll have a good rest now and will be back to fight again," he added.
"Whatever happened here, he's had a wonderful time, and we're very proud of him and what he's achieved."
Kiely, meanwhile, said not racing at Aintree had helped his charge.
"He likes this track and had a wonderful race," he said.


Whales and seals could be prone to the same decompression sickness as human divers, according to a new study.

The work by scientists at St Andrews University found evidence of bubble formation in the bodies of cetaceans.
The researchers said this indicated that the marine mammals could be prone to the condition known as "the bends".
They have also suggested the animals diving behaviour could be affected by excessive human noise, such as exposure to military sonar.
Dr Sascha Hooker of St Andrews University, who led the research, said: "Decompression sickness, commonly known as 'the bends' is a serious problem for human divers, but the jury has been out as to whether marine mammals could get the bends or if it would be as serious for them.
"Unfortunately the technology doesn't yet exist to measure what is going on physiologically inside a free-living whale during its descent to depths of over 1000 metres.
"However, our review of recent work on marine mammal diving physiology leads us to the conclusion that they could suffer from the bends in the same way that humans do."
Pressure-induced increases in nitrogen levels in the blood and body tissues can be followed by depressurisation, which causes the nitrogen to come out as bubbles.
The St Andrews research involved experts from diverse fields including human diving medics, veterinary pathologists and experts in comparative animal anatomy, physiology, ecology and behaviour.
They studied cases including bubbles in the major organs of beaked whales that had beached following exposure to sonar; bubbles in the kidney and liver region of mass stranded dolphins, and bubbles in the tissues of dolphins and seals caught accidentally, for instance by becoming snagged in fishing nets.
The researchers concluded that marine mammals are not all free from the dangers associated with deep dives and rapid ascents.
They suggested that environmental changes could push some species beyond the limits of their coping mechanisms.
Dr Hooker added: "One concern is that these naturally evolving mechanisms may be stretched by human pressures.
"An apparent threat to these animals, such as sudden high-levels of noise, could cause them to react; altering their dive trajectory or eliciting a fight-or-flight response - that causes them to exceed their normal coping mechanisms for the prevention of the bends.
"While the bends is rare under normal circumstances, excessive human noise or disturbance may cause a marine mammal to change its diving behaviour in ways that result in serious illness or injury."


Welshman Michael White can become a world champion, according to five-time winner Ronnie O'Sullivan.

The pair are both through to the last eight of the Welsh Open at Cardiff, with White beating defending champion John Higgins 4-1.
"Michael White is an amazing player. He has absolutely everything," O'Sullivan, 40, told BBC Wales.
"Wales is going to have another world champion... maybe a multiple world champion."
O'Sullivan added: "John Higgins behind Stephen Hendry is the best player I have seen and he has lost to Michael.
"He [White] is fearless, he plays everybody like they are the same. He doesn't care who is sat in that seat against him and that is a gift.
"Michael is now a top player. He's definitely knocking on the doo. If he won the world title this year I wouldn't be surprised."
Englishman O'Sullivan had little trouble beating China's Yu Delu 4-1 after losing the opening frame.
White, 24, described the victory over four-time world champion Higgins as a career highlight.
"It is a fantastic win, [it] would have to be up there with the best of my career," White said.
"I am feeling very relaxed and laid back and it showed in my performance.
"To get that win in my home event makes it more special. It is good for Wales and the tournament.
"Who knows, maybe a Welsh player could get to the final."


Private nurseries in Scotland are not receiving enough cash to meet the cost of free places for three and four-year-olds, it has been claimed.

The National Day Nurseries Association said many of the nurseries may not help to provide the additional nursery care the Scottish government is planning.
If re-elected, the SNP wants to double the current 16 hours-a-week provision.
About 86% of private nurseries in Scotland currently deliver free places for three and four-year-olds.
Many toddlers, including all three and four-year-olds are entitled to 600 hours a year of free nursery provision.
The National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) has claimed that private nurseries typically get about Â£40,000 a year less than the true cost from councils.
They can recoup this through the fees charged for younger children or from additional hours.
The association said many nurseries do not feel confident about offering more free hours in the future.
Launching its annual nursery survey, NDNA chief executive Purnima Tanuku said: "This enormous shortfall is a huge burden on private and third sector nurseries.
"They have no choice but to try to absorb these costs themselves or pass them onto parents by increasing fees for additional hours or for younger children.
"Their main concern is that if free early learning and childcare is expanded, far fewer parents will need any additional hours, so they will struggle to make up this shortfall, especially with the National Living Wage being introduced next month."
She added: "The vast majority of nurseries are small businesses and can't afford these losses. They want to offer parents these free hours, but at the same time they have to be sustainable. Almost half of the nurseries who responded expected only to break even, with 11% expecting a loss.
"Nursery owners are keen to support families and make free childcare a success for everyone, but need to know their costs will be covered."
According to the survey, only half of respondent nurseries would be likely to extend their funded hours and 22% were unlikely, or very unlikely, to increase the amount of funded places they offered.
Council organisation Cosla said it was not the role of councils to offer public money to achieve a profit for private nurseries.
Education spokeswoman Councillor Stephanie Primrose said: "Councils have a responsibility to ensure the quality of the provision, but also to ensure that good value is achieved from the public pound.
"It is also a pity that no account is taken in the campaign of those costs that NDNA members don't have to bear, because of the free or subsidised support provided by councils in terms of training and awareness-raising for private provider staff.
"NDNA members enter into partnerships with councils of their own volition, so there should be absolutely no expectation that council commissioning or procurement processes to contract for the provision of early learning and childcare services will focus on the needs of their businesses, rather than the needs of the child."
Children's Minister Aileen Campbell said: "We have provided an additional Â£500m since 2014 to fully fund the extra costs of expanding free early learning and childcare to almost 16 hours a week - 45% more than in 2007 - and extending this entitlement to around 27% of two-year-olds.
"We will continue to increase funding year-on-year to support increasing flexibility and choice and we would fully expect local authorities to fund partner providers appropriately to support the delivery of high-quality provision."


The first week in October is a week-long national holiday in China, also known as the Golden Week, which usually ferries in thousands of tourists from the mainland to neighbouring Hong Kong for a getaway.

During this period, cash tills in shops hardly stop ringing as the mainland tourists flock to the international designer labels, snapping up luxury branded goods.
It is a "golden period" for retailers and other businesses, which would generally see a boost to their bottom lines.
But recent events have taken the shine off the beginning of this year's Golden Week.
Since the weekend, tens of thousands of protesters in the Occupy Central movement have stationed themselves in several parts of Hong Kong for pro-democracy rallies in the lead-up to China's National Day, despite a call by Hong Kong leader CY Leung to work with Beijing.
And that could pose a threat to Hong Kong's retail and tourism sectors.
"It is believed that some visitors will postpone or even cancel their plans to visit Hong Kong for the time being," the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) told the BBC, without giving any details.
"The HKTB has been closely monitoring the development of the movement."
Based on the tourism board's records, international visitor arrivals into Hong Kong, including from the mainland, during the Golden Week have been increasing by a minimum of 10% over the last few years.
"Naturally, the protests will put a dent on tourism from the mainland, but bear in mind that in general October is not peak season for mainland visitors to Hong Kong," says David Yang, who covers political and regulatory risks at consultancy firm IHS.
"Golden Week brings a slight bump, but by my estimate it amounts to a modest extra 100,000 to 200,000 visitors."
Mr Yang says the category most likely to be affected are tour groups coming to Hong Kong for overnight stays, who make up about a third of the mainland tourist traffic.
"In a 'normal' year, about 30,000 to 60,000 extra mainland visitors would arrive with tour groups during the Golden Week. According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the average overnight visitor spends 8,123 Hong Kong dollars ($1,046; Â£644) during his or her stay."
He adds that the sectors most likely to be affected are retail, food and drink, and accommodation. "The impact will last for as long as protests continue."
The protesters want China to withdraw plans to vet candidates for the next Hong Kong leadership election in 2017. Their rallies  have gathered at the main sites in the Central business district (Connaught Road), Causeway Bay and Mongkok.
Around the corner from the protest area in the city's Central, Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) houses more than 100 bars, restaurants and retailers. The bustling entertainment and shopping district ranks high among the places to visit in Hong Kong and comes alive after sundown.
Allan Zeman, chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Group which manages the district, told the BBC that businesses within LKF generally see a 20% boost to their revenues in the month of October, from the extra tourists flowing through Hong Kong during China's Golden Week.
But that could change this year.
When the protests began, several restaurants and bars decided to close earlier than usual, says Mr Zeman. "Obviously safety is our first priority."
The number of revellers and patrons in the area has dropped by about 15%.
"There will be an impact from the protests, but not too much," he says. That is because even though the number of tour groups may have dropped, they are not the main customers at LKF. Instead, the group's typical customer is "the FIT" (Free Individual Traveller).
Despite the proximity to the protest zones, Mr Zeman is confident there will be no spillover from the demonstrators.
"We are an entertainment and dining district, and we do not anticipate Occupy Central will move into LKF. It is not a political place and we also have a lot of experience dealing with crowds."
Not everyone is cancelling their planned trip to Hong Kong though.
Curtis Bergh, a Singapore-based businessman from the US, travels to Hong Kong about four times a year, for both business and leisure.
Last week he booked a 10-day trip to Hong Kong starting on 2 October. He is still going ahead with the trip.
"I don't feel it's necessary to cancel my trip as the protests are still quite concentrated in certain areas of Hong Kong and most of my plans and activities are away from the protest zones," he says.
"I've adjusted my itinerary to avoid the protest areas as much as possible. I'll just have to keep an eye out on the situation as it is very fluid, and adjust my movements and plans accordingly."
While tourism is one area of economic growth for Hong Kong, it is not the main driver.
"More important to Hong Kong are domestic retail spending, banking and finance, and social services," says David Kuo, director at investment advisory firm Motley Fool Singapore.
He says that as the protests have been well contained to parts of Central and Mong Kok, and have generally been promoted as being friendly and good-natured, they "should do little to affect the rest of the country or its position as a place to do business".
And he points out that China, politically, needs Hong Kong more than it would like to admit.
"Hong Kong, with its sound legal framework, freedom of speech and fair judicial system, is and will remain, the acceptable face of China to the outside world."
He adds: "There could be a short-term impact on tourism but it is something that Hong Kong has learnt to weather over the years. Hong Kong people are a resilient bunch."


Annual profits at Inditex, the owner of Zara and Bershka, have soared by almost €500m following a 8.5% rise in like-for-like sales.

The world's biggest clothing retailer reported pre-tax profits of €3.74bn (£2.89bn) for 2015.
It opened another 330 stores last year to bring the total to just over 7,000 in 88 markets.
The Spanish company said it would continue to expand its integrated store and online sales strategy globally.
Inditex plans to open stores in Vietnam, New Zealand, Paraguay, Aruba and Nicaragua this year.
The results, which were in line with analysts' expectations, were boosted by the weakness of the euro against a basket of around 60 currencies.
Net sales rose 15.4% to €20.9bn, with the Zara chain posting a 17.5% increase to €13.6bn.
Bershka sales were up 12.7% to €1.87bn, making it the second-biggest chain for Inditex, followed by Massimo Dutti with sales of almost €1.5bn, up 6%. Sales at Pull & Bear jumped by 10.4% to €1.41bn.
The company had 152,854 full-time equivalent staff last year, up from 137,054.
Inditex also reported a strong start to the new financial year that began in February, with a 15% rise in sales - better than Societe Generale's forecast of a 12% increase.
Items including broderie anglaise blouses and floral lace dresses from Zara's spring collection have proved popular with consumers.
Shares in the Madrid-listed company, which have fallen more than 10% in the past three months partly due to concerns about currency movements affecting profits, rose 0.6% to €29.59 in morning trading.
Inditex, which has a market value of almost €92bn, said it would increase its dividend by 15.4% to €0.60 a share.


Newport Gwent Dragons coach Kingsley Jones was unhappy with a yellow card given to lock Rynard Landman during his side's 27-16 defeat by Cardiff Blues.

Landman was sent to the sin bin after referee Ben Whitehouse viewed video replays of his shoulder charge on Alex Cuthbert at a ruck.
Blues coach Danny Wilson said it was harsh, and Jones agreed.
"I don't know where the game is going. You can slow-motion every breakdown," said former Wales captain Jones.
"That's the way rucks are run, there's two big fellas bumping into each other.
"Alex has fallen over, but it's just nonsense. I don't really want to get drawn on it, but it's a poor decision for me."
Media playback is not supported on this device
The incident came two minutes after the Blues had been reduced to 14 men when Rey Lee-Lo was sent to the sin-bin for a high tackle.
Speaking during the match, Wilson felt his player probably deserved to see yellow, but that Landman was unlucky.
Blues secured only their second win in their last six Pro12 outings, while Dragons are now 11 points adrift as the lowest placed of the Welsh regions.
It was an extraordinary match with all four tries and all 43 points coming in an exciting first half.
A second-half stalemate left Blues frustrated at missing out on the bonus-point they would have received for scoring a fourth try.
"I thought it was a pretty awful second half, if I'm honest," said Wilson.
"First half we saw some great rugby played, three good tries scored. You think then you can maybe win the game first and go on and look for the bonus point.
"But there were way too many errors and it was a 0-0 second half and that's a bit disappointing.
"I'm just pleased that we got the win, but maybe it's a second half when we've left it [the bonus point] out there."


The Scottish Police Federation (SPF) has said a violent incident in Glasgow raised questions about whether officers can protect the public.

SPF chairwoman Andrea MacDonald said it was "deeply worrying" that no armed officers were dispatched.
The attacker in Thursday's incident injured two people before inflicting fatal injuries on himself.
Police Scotland has insisted that the incident did not require the presence of armed officers.
One of the victims of the attack was reported to be in a stable condition in hospital with injuries to his shoulder and arm.
The other victim, a community warden, was allowed home after treatment.
Ms MacDonald said: "Had the assailant been intent on harming large numbers of the public, he could have done so with impunity and the police would have been largely powerless to stop him.
"Whilst not detracting in any way from the courage of the police officers who attended, the fact no armed officers were dispatched to a man attacking others with knives and an axe should be deeply worrying.
"Glasgow is a city with an almost permanent armed police presence but they were not dispatched and they did not attend."
She added: "This lays bare the myth that the service adequately risk-assesses incidents prior to deploying resources and that as a service we are capable of protecting the public from spontaneous incidents of extreme violence."
The SPF annual conference - last month - heard calls for all officers to carry Tasers and for there to be an increase in the number of armed officers.
Police Scotland has rejected these calls and stressed the value of retaining a largely unarmed police service.
Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Mawson said: "Police Scotland, along with the rest of the UK, prides itself in being an unarmed service with access to specialist firearms support whenever required.
"Yesterday's incident in Glasgow city centre was a dynamic and fast-moving incident. Local officers responded rapidly and contained and dealt with it quickly.
"This was not a random attack. It was planned and targeted, and armed officers were not required to attend on this occasion."
Detectives have appealed for information about what they said was a "targeted" and pre-planned attack.
The incident has been referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC).


Former Premier League footballer Sam Sodje has appeared in court alongside three brothers accused of charity fraud.

The ex-Reading defender denied fraudulent trading charges relating to the Sodje Sports Foundation - a charity to raise money for Nigerian sport.
Mr Sodje, 37, is jointly charged with elder brothers Efe, 44, Bright, 50 and Stephen, 42.
Appearing at the Old Bailey earlier, all four denied the offence.
The charge relates to offences which allegedly took place between 2008 and 2014.
Sam, from Kent, Efe and Bright, of Greater Manchester, and Stephen, from Bexley, are due to stand trial in July.
They were all released on bail.


A 30-year-old woman has been charged with attempted child abduction after a three-year-old girl was reported missing from Harrogate.

The woman was arrested on Thursday after the girl disappeared on Wednesday, North Yorkshire Police said.
She has been charged with attempting to take away a child in care without lawful authority and passport offences.
The woman is due to appear at York Crown Court on Monday. The child involved is safe and well, police said.

A charity representing survivors of child sex abuse has not been granted official representation at the inquiry set up by the Scottish government.

The inquiry, due to report in late 2019, is looking in detail at the historical abuse of children in care.
Wellbeing Scotland said it is now concerned victims that it has helped will be deterred from giving evidence.
The inquiry said it felt the organisation did not meet the criteria to play a significant role.
Wellbeing Scotland formerly operated as Open Secret and said it represented more than 1,000 survivors of child sex abuse.
It has been told it has not been granted core participant status in the inquiry.
It has appealed against the decision as it want its members to receive legal assistance and financial support and to be able to cross-examine witnesses.
The charity said it is the largest organisation in Scotland specialising in historical child abuse cases so it was imperative that it could give evidence to the inquiry.
Janine Rennie, chief executive of Wellbeing Scotland, told BBC Scotland: "The inquiry has given us no specific reason for their decision.
"We are left wondering whether they're concerned that allowing an organisation with 1,058 survivors on its files might lead to a huge increase in costs, and the length of time the inquiry will take.
"But giving us this accreditation would probably save money, compared to granting legal aid to so many individuals."
Ms Rennie said the new inquiry chairwoman, Lady Smith, had said in January 2017 that if any perpetrator of abuse were mentioned in evidence, he or she would be informed.
The charity said this could deter many survivors from coming forward - so it was vital that they had access to legal advice to support them in giving evidence.
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry said "core participants" were are individuals and organisations judged to have "a significant role in all or part of the matters being considered by the inquiry".
A spokesman added: "They are more involved in the process of the inquiry than a member of the public and applications to become core participants are therefore determined on the basis of stringent rules.
"Wellbeing Scotland has made an application, which was rejected because it did not meet the required criteria. They have now submitted a fresh application for core participant status which is currently under consideration."
He added: "Wellbeing Scotland has not been banned from participating in the inquiry. Further, it should be noted that the fact that an organisation is not a core participant in no way blocks it or any individual associated it from participating fully in the important work of the inquiry.
"We continue to actively encourage anyone with relevant information to please speak to us."
The first public hearings are due to begin in May and the inquiry is expected to last four years.
Lady Smith replaced the original chairwoman who resigned in July 2016. Susan O'Brien stood down complaining of government interference.


A California woman suspected of murdering the father of her two children is hoping to be released from prison after raising $65m (Â£52m) bail.

Tiffany Li, 31, posted $4m in cash and pledged $61m in property, raised from a group of friends, family and business associates, the Associated Press said.
The bail had been set at $35m, but California courts require double the amount if property is used.
Her lawyer said she was "well-liked in the community", the LA Times reported.
"I was surprised at the number of people that came forward," Geoff Carr said, "I think people believe she is not guilty," he told the newspaper.
Ms Li has pleaded not guilty to charges that she conspired with her boyfriend, Kaveh Bayat, and another man, Olivier Adella, to kill Keith Green, 27, and dispose of his body last year.
Prosecutors say she feared losing custody of her young children to Mr Green.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told the LA Times the bail sum - described as "mind boggling" in one news report - would be the highest ever posted in the wealthy county's history.
He said he believed her to be a flight risk, but that lawyers on both sides had agreed that if the expected release went ahead she would have to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, be under house arrest and surrender her passport as well as her children's.
Mr Carr said he expected Ms Li, a Chinese-born property manager and former stockbroker, to be released on Thursday, the Associated Press reported.
A family friend of Mr Green, Angela Dunn, said news of the bail was "very disappointing", ABC7 reported.
Mr Green and Ms Li had met on 28 April at a pancake restaurant near her home in Hillsborough, an area south of San Francisco, considered one of the wealthiest communities in the US.
But he never returned home. His body was found nearly two weeks later, some 80 miles (128km) north. He had been shot dead.
A week after that, Ms Li, Mr Adella and Mr Bayat were arrested on suspicion of murder.


Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has reached "his lowest point" and may quit the club this season, says his former Gunners captain Martin Keown.

He is one of several of Wenger's former players who feel they have seen a change in the long-serving boss.
Arsenal are facing a seventh successive last-16 Champions League exit following a 5-1 thrashing at Bayern Munich.
Ex-Arsenal defender Lee Dixon said: "This team is getting no response from him. I've never seen him like that."
Frenchman Wenger, at the helm since 1996 but whose contract expires at the end of this season, has not won the Premier League since 2004, but Keown told BT Sport: "Arsene must be considering his future now."
Former England full-back Dixon added on ITV: "He just seems so low.
"That is the first time where I've seen him where I've thought, 'he thinks it's time'. The fact that he hasn't been able to get a response from the players in the last few weeks might be the final straw."
Arjen Robben fired German champions Bayern into the lead at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, but Arsenal fought back and equalised when Alexis Sanchez followed up and finished his own saved penalty.
However, in the second half the Gunners capitulated, as Bayern excelled in a 10-minute period during which Robert Lewandowski restored Bayern's lead before Thiago Alcantara scored twice.
Substitute Thomas Muller scored late on to surely put the tie beyond the Gunners.
Keown - a defender who made 449 appearances for Arsenal - said recently he expected his former manager to get one more season. However, after watching the Bayern defeat as a pundit for BT Sport, Keown questioned whether he should stay.
"It's almost embarrassing. Outclassed, outplayed," he said. "I can't ever say I'd like to see him go (but) this is his lowest point ever as Arsenal manager."
Last week, former striker Ian Wright, who scored 185 goals for the Gunners from 1991-98, told BBC Radio 5 live he did not expect Wenger to stay on next season.
After the drubbing in Germany, Wright posted his frustrations on social media and declared he was "not watching anymore".
Bob Wilson, goalkeeper in the first Arsenal side to win the double in 1971, told BBC Radio 5 live on Thursday: "I wouldn't be at all surprised that Arsene now, with the amount of headlines that are coming his way, will look at that and say 'two decades'.
"He might just look at that and say 'OK enough is enough' because I think as a human being you can only take so much.
"He's a very sensitive guy and he's hurt, I doubt he will sleep very much between now and a horrible game on an artificial pitch at Sutton."
Arsenal's next fixture is an FA Cup fifth-round tie at non-league Sutton United on Monday (19:55 GMT kick-off).

Arsenal's only major silverware in recent years has been consecutive FA Cups in 2014 and 2015.
Successive defeats by Watford and Chelsea dented their league campaign, and although Wenger's side returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Hull last weekend, the Gunners are fourth in the table, 10 points behind leaders Chelsea.
Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin was at the Allianz Arena for BBC Radio 5 live and described Arsenal's performance as "shambolic".
"The negativity before the game feels more like a realism," he said. "Arsenal were totally outplayed by a team who are good but weren't utterly brilliant.
"The one team at the top level they have beaten is Chelsea with that 3-0 (at the Emirates in September).
"Other than that, they've got draws, they've been beaten and it's the top ones - I include Everton in that as well - they don't seem to be able to overcome them.
"It's exactly the same in the Champions League and it's a real shame, it just feels very close to the end. I've never said it before about Arsene but it does feel that way now."
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand said Arsenal showed no fight or aggression.
"They looked spineless," the ex-England captain said on BT Sport. "You want to see fire in their belly and that's the most disheartening thing for me."
The Times' chief football writer Henry Winter described the Gunners as a "laughing stock", adding that he felt Wenger's best days are behind him.
"He has lost his leadership skills, there's no invincible streak in him any more," he said.
"From top to bottom there's no leadership. They have a silent owner who is sleepwalking towards the abyss. Wenger has been overtaken by Conte, Klopp and other managers."

Collated from comments below the match report
Harry Martin: Wenger gave Arsenal the greatest run of success they will ever have. His time in charge is as good as it gets for them and at 67 he's not going to improve. Football is cyclical and Arsenal's run of success (CL every year) is coming to a close. Be grateful for what you've had Gooners because you won't find a better manager than him prepared to come to Arsenal. These are the glory years.
ThePundit: Has anyone seen Mesut Ozil? He has been missing since last November, last seen strolling around the Emirates against a mediocre Premier League team. If found, please contact A. Wenger.
BlueIsTheColour: Arsenal are a laughing stock in Europe, there is no point qualifying for the Champions League just to make up the numbers. Arsenal are more interested in their balance sheet than their trophy cabinet.
cliffbayfan: Pathetic, I think it sums this up. Spineless, lack of talent, gave up, and totally out-thought and outclassed. Whether time is up for Wenger, I don't know... but this was an embarrassment.
XTStevie1873: Tonight proves that English teams are only good in England as this Bayern side like Barcelona have been on the slide and are nowhere near as good as they have been over the last 4-5 years. But they still whacked Arsenal at a canter...


A woman has tracked down a man who helped her when she was sexually assaulted on a bus in west London.

Kaitlyn Regehr, 30, was travelling home on the 207 bus towards Acton on 6 October when a man grabbed her.
Ms Regehr wrote on Instagram: "Last week I made a post in order to find a stranger who stood up for me on a bus.
"Last night, I got to meet and thank this Good Samaritan and all-round awesome dude."
On 9 October, she took to social media to try to find the stranger who - when she was "grabbed" by a man - insisted it was "not acceptable".
She wrote: "You said, 'She could be your sister. She is someone's sister', and in doing so you made me a person. You made us a community."
In her latest post, she said: "The experience surrounding last week's post has been a surprising and powerful one.
"I am grateful to all who helped make this meeting happen; as well as to the Metropolitan Police, who have been really supportive. Most of all, I am grateful to the many who shared their own stories."


Wizz Air has announced plans to launch direct flights between Glasgow and the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius for the first time.

The budget airline will begin operating the year-round, twice-weekly service on 16 September.
The move brings brings the total number of destinations served by Wizz Air from Glasgow to seven.
It already operates services to the Polish cities of Warsaw, Poznan, Katowice and Gdansk.
Wizz Air also recently announced plans to add direct flights to Budapest in Hungary and the Polish city of Lublin from the Scottish city.
Glasgow Airport business development manager Paul White said: "This is yet further good news from Wizz Air which has gone from strength-to-strength since its arrival at Glasgow Airport two years ago.
"It has continued to respond to demand by adding direct flights to popular European destinations and the new Vilnius service will no doubt prove extremely popular with both Lithuanian and Scottish passengers."


On a lazy Friday afternoon, a small group of primary school students open their laptops and, laughing and chatting, plunge straight into the world of computer programming.

The children, starting as young as six years old, come each week to this out-of-school private learning centre in Hong Kong.
They are getting lessons in computer coding not always available within Hong Kong's state schools, with parents paying extra for skills that they hope will keep up with a fast-moving digital industry.
Over the next hour-and-a-half, they are taught how to create characters for a simple mobile game, using "drag and drop" software.
"It's a form of coding," says Michelle Sun, the 28-year-old founder of this coding school, called First Code Academy.
"This way, the kids don't have to type as much. It's much more intuitive for them to learn the concepts and build a foundation."
Later they will begin to learn JavaScript, a programming language that underpins many internet applications.
More stories from the BBC's Knowledge economy series looking at education from a global perspective and how to get in touch
She sometimes struggles to catch the attention of her young students, some of whom are glued to their screens.
The atmosphere in class is noisy, boisterous and interactive. But she has an easy rapport with the children.
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Ms Sun attended an elite girls' school, succeeding in the city's notoriously regimented, competitive education system.
She was then exposed to western influences, studying at the University of Chicago and then working in California, before returning home to start a coding school.
"When I was growing up, it was about taking in new knowledge and making sure we understand it in tests. But in the information age we are in now, the role of education is different," she says.
Her own experience in Silicon Valley convinced her that there were booming opportunities available to those with programming skills, especially for mobile software.
According to estimates from Juniper Research, the global market for mobile applications will more than double from $47.7bn (Â£30.8bn) in 2014 to $99bn (Â£64bn) in 2019.
Asia, bolstered by strong growth in China, is expected to account for more than half of that market.
Hong Kong is already one of the world's most wired cities. According to government figures, 85% of homes have access to broadband, and people own, on average, at least two mobile phones.
But the education system - while world class according to global tests -  has not been keeping pace with the speed of change in the digital age.
Computer literacy is commonly taught, but computer programming receives far less attention in classrooms, according to teachers.
A syllabus from the Education Bureau that sets out requirements for junior secondary school students in computer literacy was last updated in 1999.
It exposes students to educational programming which is now considered by many to be outdated.
The students at First Code come from families that can afford fees of between $775 to $1,300 per 12-week term, depending on the age of the child.
That is out of the reach of many people here, as the median monthly household income last year was about $3,000.
To bridge the digital divide, the Hong Kong government aims to make computer programming a required subject for students as young as 11 years old.
"What we want to do is to incorporate coding as a mandatory part of early secondary education so as to equip students for the future digital world," said Joey Lam, Hong Kong's deputy government chief information officer.
She declined to give a specific starting date, but said it would happen within a few years.
Other countries in the Asia Pacific region, including Australia and Singapore, are also working out when and how to start compulsory education in computer programming.
Last September, a new national curriculum was introduced in England, requiring students age five onwards to be taught the basics of programming.
Estonia had started the trend a few years earlier by introducing programming in primary schools.
In Hong Kong, private schools and study centres like First Code are filling in the gap.
As for the children who meet on Fridays, they may only be working on basic mobile games now, but they may in he long run be getting one step ahead of the game.


Barnsley's Marley Watkins describes his Wales call-up as "a dream come true" but the path to international recognition has not be an easy one.

Watkins, 26, has been included in a 26-man squad for a training camp in Portugal ahead of June's World Cup qualifier in Serbia.
"It's been a long journey," Watkins told BBC Wales Sport after he was named in Chris Coleman's squad.
"I always told myself never to give up and aim as high as possible, no matter how hard it got.
"I kept working hard and over time I feel it's paid off. I'm looking forward to continuing it."
Watkins' journey started following his release as a 17-year-old by Swansea City, a decision which left the youngster "hurt" and in tears.
"At the time you don't know what you're going to do," Watkins added.
"But I thought 'stick at it', went to exit trials and Cheltenham, who were in League One at the time, picked me up."
Watkins became Cheltenham's youngest-ever player when he made his debut as a substitute in a game against Northampton Town in August 2008.
"It didn't work out personally there. I broke through but I didn't play regularly as much as I wanted," Watkins said.
"There were a lot of changes in managers so I had to drop down to the Conference."
He joined Bath City on loan in September 2010, making the move permanent the following January before spending a season at Hereford United.
"I kept signing short contracts and putting it all on the line really, making sure I performed and kept getting moves and kept climbing," he added.
"When a Scottish Premiership team came in I felt that was my route to come back to England at a higher level."
Inverness Caledonian Thistle were the Scottish side which signed Watkins in June 2013.
"I went for it and that paid off," Watkins said of his time in Scotland, during which he scored in Caley Thistle's Scottish Cup final win over Falkirk in 2015.
Watkins secured a move back to English football in June 2015 with a move to Barnsley and in his first season with the club won the Football League Trophy and secured promotion to the Championship via the play-offs.
He scored 10 goals during Barnsley's 2016-17 season in the Championship but looks set to leave this summer after rejecting a new contract offered by the Oakwell club.
Watkins has been on standby player previously but his call up for the forthcoming training camp in Portugal will be his first time in the Wales squad.
The Lewisham-born player, also eligible to represent France as well as England and Wales, is looking forward to linking up with Coleman's squad but will not be overawed by the experience.
"I think you should act like you belong there otherwise what's the point if you don't believe in yourself," he said.
"It will be a great experience to play with top players like Aaron Ramsey and can only benefit your game.
"Hopefully I can be a regular part of it."
Watkins' grandfather is the late Welsh poet Vernon Watkins, who was a good friend of fellow Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas.
"I am so proud of Marley's achievements, and I follow every one of his games, and every kick, from my home in Mumbles, through my computer.  We're all very proud of him, and know he'll give 100 per cent for Wales"
Vernon Watkins' widow Gwen is now in her 90s but keeps up to date with grandson's progress through modern technology from her home in Swansea.
"She's my biggest fan and I take a lot of inspiration from her and I play for her," Watkins said.
"Her computer is filled with clips of my games, even forums which I don't think she should read sometimes.
"It keeps her mind occupied and she's always checking my scores and it's inspiring to do well for her."
Watkins says winning a Wales cap would be a "proud moment" for himself and his family and for friends who have supported him during his career.
"I definitely appreciate it," Watkins reflects.
"It's a ruthless sport where dreams are crushed and I'm really grateful that it's worked out for me."


Post has been suspended in part of West Bromwich for more than two weeks due to fears about a "roaming" dog.

Royal Mail has sent a letter to residents in Cardigan Close saying they made the decision because of health and safety concerns.
Householders are having to collect their post from a sorting office two miles away in Lyng Lane.
The dog's owner, who lives in the street, said she had not been contacted by Royal Mail.
"I just found out no-one has been receiving their letters because of my dog," Ilona Welch said.
She said she understood the concerns but insisted the four-year-old animal was "harmless".
"She's just grabbing post off him from the inside of the door," she said.
The letter sent to residents on 6 September said the "exceptional step" had been taken due to an "unacceptable level of risk".
Sandwell Council said a dog warden had visited the owner of the dog who had agreed to keep it muzzled and on a lead.
In a statement, Royal Mail said: "We apologise to residents at Cardigan Close for the continued suspension of their mail deliveries.
"We are liaising with local police and dog warden to ensure deliveries can be reinstated as soon as possible, however the safety of our delivery staff is paramount."


A judge in New Jersey has ruled that Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz is a "natural-born citizen" under the US constitution and may run in the state's primary elections in June.

A group of residents had challenged the Texas senator's eligibility for the presidency. He was born in Canada to a Cuban father and American mother.
But Judge Jeff Masin found that Mr Cruz met the constitutional requirements.
New Jersey's Lt Governor, Kim Guadagno, is now expected to review the decision.
Sen Cruz's main rival for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump, has also questioned his eligibility for the presidency.
"There's a big question mark on your head," the billionaire businessman said at a debate in January. "You can't do that to the party."
The South Jersey Concerned Citizens Committee and law professor Victor Williams, a presidential write-in candidate, argued in court in on Monday that Sen Cruz's birth in Canada meant he could not be a "natural-born citizen" as envisaged by those who wrote the US constitution.
They claimed he was a naturalised citizen and that presidents had to be born on US soil.
Sen Cruz's lawyer argued that he was a natural-born citizen because his mother was American.
On Tuesday, Judge Masin dismissed the challenge, while acknowledging that "absolute certainty as to this issue is only available to those who actually sat in Philadelphia and themselves thought on the issue".
"The more persuasive legal analysis is that such a child, born of a citizen-father, citizen-mother, or both, is indeed a 'natural born citizen' within the contemplation of the constitution," he wrote in a 26-page decision.
Judge Masin added that his decision might be adopted, modified or rejected by Lt Gov Guadagno, New Jersey's secretary of state, who is authorised to make a final decision on the matter. She must transmit the names of candidates to appear on the primary ballot to county clerks by Thursday.
A similar legal challenge was rejected a court in Pennsylvania, where Sen Cruz will appear on the state's Republican primary ballot later this month.


Former entertainer Rolf Harris allegedly assaulted seven women and girls in a series of "brazen" attacks over a period of 30 years, a court has been told.

The 86-year old denies seven charges of indecent assault and one of sexual assault and is appearing at Southwark Crown Court via video link.
The alleged victims were aged between 12 and 42, the jury was told.
All of the alleged assaults occurred in "public settings", the court heard.
The alleged assaults, which are said to date between 1971 and 2004, could all be described as "unwanted groping", the court heard.
Jonathan Rees QC, for the prosecution, said the alleged crimes took place "when there were other people in the near vicinity".
He told the court: "None of these assaults is alleged to have happened in private."
Mr Rees suggested the entertainer's celebrity status made Mr Harris "apparently so brazen" in carrying out the alleged assaults.
Mr Harris is appearing in court via a video link from Stafford Prison. The trial is expected to last five weeks.
The court heard that Mr Harris is serving a sentence for a series of offences of indecent assault carried out on four female victims.
This is a highly unusual case. A man who achieved fame and fortune through television is on trial via a screen.
We've got used to seeing "celebrity" defendants arriving at court for high profile cases. Often they're flanked by family and friends. Some try to avoid the cameras, others stop to pose for pictures.
Rolf Harris doesn't have to run the gauntlet in that way. He isn't actually here in the courtroom on London's South Bank. Instead he is watching and listening to proceedings over a video link.
Everybody in court can see him, sitting at a desk, smartly dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and tie. Occasionally he puts his head in his hands, sometimes he takes his glasses off to rub his eyes.
Despite his 86 years, the white hair and neatly trimmed beard make him instantly recognisable, somehow even more so because he appears - as most of us are used to seeing him - on a screen fixed to the courtroom wall.
Among the allegations are that Mr Harris inappropriately touched girls on separate occasions when asked to sign autographs.
On one occasion, he is alleged to have pulled a 14-year-old girl onto his lap and put his hand up her skirt at a youth music event in London in 1971.
The jury heard that the alleged incident left the girl "shocked and frightened".
The complainant said she was not able to watch television if Mr Harris was on it, claiming: "I have to turn over."
Mr Harris is also said to have put his hand up the skirt of a 12-year-old girl when she went with her mother to get an autograph in Portsmouth.
Another alleged victim was a 27-year-old disabled and blind woman.
Mr Rees said Mr Harris "crouched down, kissed the back of her neck and... began slobbering over her."
Mr Harris is alleged to have placed his hand under the clothed breast of a 13-year-old girl after attending children's television show Saturday Superstore at BBC Television Centre in west London in 1983.
Mr Harris is said to have stroked the lower back of an 18-year-old woman at a music studio near London Bridge in 2002.
A then BBC employee, aged 42 at the time, has accused Mr Harris of grabbing her breasts and thrusting his crotch against her at an event after the filming of a television show in 2004.
In his closing remarks, Mr Rees said the truth was that "Mr Harris's appetite for sexually assaulting young girls and women" had led him to commit the alleged offences, telling the jurors they must make their own minds up if this was so.
Judge Alistair McCreath ruled last year that Mr Harris' age and health meant he should not have to attend the trial in person.
He told jurors in December: "We can very happily try Mr Harris without him having to be here... it naturally makes a lot of sense for him to attend his trial remotely."
On Monday, jurors paused in front of the camera so that Mr Harris could see them and say whether he knew any of them.
Witnesses would be hidden from Mr Harris's view by screens, the court heard.


An Israeli military court has sentenced four Palestinians to life in prison for the murder of an Israeli couple in the occupied West Bank, the military says.

Eitam and Naama Henkin were killed in front of their four young children in a drive-by shooting on 1 October.
The military said the assailants, members of the Islamist movement Hamas, opened fire at the Henkins' car after an attempt to abduct them failed.
The attack marked the start of a continuing wave of violence.
Since then, another 31 Israelis have been killed in knife, gun and car-ramming attacks in Israel and the West Bank.
More than 200 Palestinians - mostly attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in the same period.
The assailants who have been killed have been shot either by their victims or by security forces as they carried out attacks. Other Palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli troops.
Eitam and Naama Henkin were shot as they drove past the village of Beit Furik, on the road between the Jewish settlements of Itamar and Elon Moreh.
Their four children - a nine-month-old baby and boys aged four, seven and nine - were sitting in the back of the car and were treated for only light injuries.
A group affiliated with the Fatah movement's al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed it was behind the attack.
However, Israeli investigators concluded that a Nablus-based cell affiliated with Hamas was responsible.
The alleged leader of the cell, named as Amjad Aliwi, and four other members - Yahya Haj Hamed, Samir Kusa, Kerem Razek and Zeid Amr - were arrested.
On Wednesday, the military court in the West Bank handed Aliwi, Haj Hamed, Kusa and Razek two life sentences plus an additional 30 years.
Amr has also reportedly been convicted of murdering the Henkins but has yet to be sentenced, while two others who allegedly helped plan the attack face trial.
