Lionel Messi celebrated the birth of his second son with a winning goal as Barcelona went top of La Liga with a 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid.

Messi, who had not scored in Barca's first two league games, started on the bench after missing training on Friday to be with his new baby boy Mateo.
Atletico went ahead six minutes after the break when Fernando Torres rolled in a shot, but Neymar equalised.
Messi then grabbed the winner after being set up by Luis Suarez.
It was the Argentina international's 287th La Liga goal for Barcelona, extending his lead as the competition's all-time top scorer.
His goal came on the day that Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo became his club's record league scorer - and moved up to fourth in the overall standings with 230 goals - by scoring five in a 6-0 win at Espanyol.
Messi had scored in Argentina's 2-2 midweek draw with Mexico but was seeking his first La Liga goal of the season before Saturday's game.
He saw Suarez hit the bar in a poor first half, before Atletico took the lead early in the second when Torres finished off a fine counter-attack.
That lead lasted only four minutes, though, as Neymar curled in a stunning free-kick from 20 yards.
Barcelona had a penalty appeal rejected when Atletico defender Diego Godin appeared to handle the ball, but Messi won the match with a stylish, low finish.


Pascal Wehrlein will return for Sauber at this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix.

The team say he will be back in the car at Sakhir after missing the first two races because of a lack of fitness.
Wehrlein's winter training programme was affected by a back injury suffered in a crash in January's Race of Champions event.
The 22-year-old German drove in Friday practice at the first race in Australia but then pulled out saying he was not strong enough to race.
Wehrlein was replaced for the first two races by Ferrari third driver Antonio Giovinazzi, who impressed with his pace but suffered two heavy accidents in the space of two days in China last weekend.
Wehrlein's decision not to take part in Melbourne and Shanghai came despite being given medical clearance to race.
He came in for criticism because of the number of times in the past that other drivers have raced in physical adversity.
Sauber have defended him, however, with team principal Monisha Kaltenborn saying: "From a medical perspective, he was declared fine to race already at the [pre-season] tests.
"The rest is a question of his fitness to the extent that he wants to be able to deliver 100% during the entire race.
"When we came to Melbourne with Pascal, there was no indication at all that we'd end up in this situation, because Pascal, being a very ambitious driver, really wanted to drive.
"But he realised he does have a responsibility to the team and if he is not 100% fit he really needs to say that."


Poland has marked its Independence Day by opening a huge Catholic shrine first proposed more than two centuries ago.

The cornerstone of the Temple of Divine Providence in Warsaw was laid in 1792, but a Russian invasion and two world wars stalled progress.
The most recent work began in 2003, attracting â‚¬50m (Â£43m; $54m) in private donations.
For Poland's conservative government, the shrine is an emblem of perseverance - and nationalism.
The country has a large Roman Catholic majority, and the Church continues to influence its politics and social affairs.
An inaugural Mass was celebrated at the temple, with Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydlo and President Andrzej Duda in attendance.
Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki cited John Paul II, the Polish former Pope, in calling for a "responsible" use of freedom and warning against the "arrogance of power".
Even after two centuries, work on the church is is not yet over. Some painting is unfinished and the stained-glass windows are yet to be completed.
Around â‚¬7m more in donations is needed to finish the job.
Not everyone in Poland approves of the building, whose stylised rotunda has earned it the unflattering nickname "the giant lemon juicer".
In reward for their 224-year wait, visitors to the temple will be treated to superb acoustics, and lighting which can be changed to reflect different periods of the Church calendar.
Poland: A brief history
Polish parliament rejects abortion ban
Pope urges youth to accept migrants
As well as the church, the complex includes a pantheon of great Poles, and a museum commemorating Pope John Paul II and Stefan Wyszynski, the leader of the Catholic Church in Poland under Communist rule.
The temple was lit up in Poland's national colours of red and white to mark the nation's 98th Independence Day.


Ofsted has admitted its inspections of children's services in Rotherham, where more than 1,400 children were sexually abused, was "not good enough".

Inspectors from the regulator failed to spot the extent of child sexual exploitation in the town over several years, rating the council as adequate.
Debbie Jones, Ofsted's director of social care, told MPs the regulator was "sorry" for not spotting the abuse.
She blamed "inadequate frameworks" for Ofsted's failings.
The Jay Report into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham revealed systemic failures in local council scrutiny, governance, and leadership.
Children as young as 11 were raped by multiple perpetrators, abducted, trafficked to other cities in England, beaten and intimidated, a report by Prof Alexis Jay found.
Labour MPs Simon Danczuk and Clive Betts, who are on the Communities and Local Government Committee which questioned Ms Jones, pushed several times for an apology before the Ofsted director would say sorry.
Mr Danczuk called the director "one of the worst witnesses we've ever taken".
Ms Jones said: "We at Ofsted feel that what we have done is not good enough. Of course we're sorry - we're sorry along with, I'm sure, everybody else who has been in front of this committee."
She added changes had been made to the way Ofsted carried out inspections.
"Part of the difference between the past inspection frameworks and this one is the increased focus on the journey of the child," she said.
"The inspection covers four weeks and we look at children and young people's experiences from entering the system through to exit."


Poundland and 99p Stores sell everything from bacon to soap, via One Direction calendars, for just a quid.

Now Poundland is trying to buy its rival - for 55 million of those pound coins.
That would add 251 shops to its existing stores, which already number almost 600 across Britain and Ireland.
Over time, all the 99p Stores would be converted to Poundland shops if the deal is approved by competition authorities.
So what is it about pound shops that keep us coming?
Well it's not just the price.
"People see enticing prices that are great, but then buy more volume than they actually need," explains Dr Dimitrios Tsivrikos, a consumer and business psychologist at University College London (UCL).
"Customers think they can control and calculate how much they are buying. But in reality they buy more - it is an illusion."
Pound shops use a number of methods to keep things cheap:
"When you operate in these stores you have more clarity over how much things will cost," Dr Tsivrikos told Newsbeat.
"People like specific amounts and being in control."
"The low-price, no-frills formula has found particular resonance in Britain's era of sluggish economic growth," says Deborah Weinswig, head of global retail and technology at the Fung Business Intelligence Centre (FBIC).
The FBIC says pound shops have boomed in the UK, mirroring the rise of cheaper supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl.
If Poundland completes the purchase of 99p Stores it will, of course, mean a 1p price rise on thousands of products.
The boss of Poundland argues that the change will make the stores more efficient.
"I think people probably will find the £1 price a little bit better, because they won't have to start rooting around for pennies," argues Poundland chief executive Jim McCarthy.
"Not having to give the penny back is quite a significant operational efficiency."

A giant whale skeleton dismantled and put into storage for three years during a museum refurbishment has been put back together, bone by bone.

The 70ft (21m) finback arrived at Cambridge University's Zoology department 150 years ago, after washing up dead on a Sussex beach.
It was taken down from display when the Museum of Zoology closed in 2013 for a Â£4m makeover.
Re-assembling and re-hanging the whale took two people about four weeks.
The finback (Balaeonoptera physalus) - the second largest species after the blue whale - is thought to have weighed about 80 tonnes, the equivalent of eight double-decker buses, when it was alive.
More on this story and other news from Cambridgeshire
It washed up in Pevensey Bay on 14 November, 1865, after a storm.
The mammal was sold at auction for Â£38 to 10 local fisherman who cut it up under the guidance of William Henry Flower, conservator of the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons.
Mr Flower told Cambridge University about the "magnificent skeleton", and the department bought it, finally putting it on public display 30 years later.
For years it took centre-stage, dwarfing the museum's four million other specimens, including the skeleton of a Dodo and many animals collected by naturalist Charles Darwin.
However, it was consigned to storage boxes for three years until being put back together and re-hung in a new glass display area.
Putting it back together took "a lot of patience, a lot of effort and a lot of labour", collections manager Matt Lowe said.
"It's really iconic, it's 150 years old - exactly the same age as the museum itself," he added.
Whale-watchers will be able to appreciate the whale's sheer scale when the museum reopens to the public next summer.


The leader of Pembrokeshire council is to meet ministers to discuss a final warning after the authority was accused of failing to safeguard children.

There are complaints about children with behaviour problems being locked in padded "time out rooms".
On Tuesday the Welsh government said it was "gravely concerned" and has threatened to force the council to comply with its duty.
Ministers say progress has been "worryingly slow".
Council leader Jamie Adams said the warning's timing was perplexing as he had been due to meet ministers on Wednesday.
A panel of experts was sent into the authority last year after a report into child abuse allegations.
Ministers are considering giving the board the power to issue instructions so the authority meets its safeguarding duties.
In a letter to the council's leader on Tuesday they said they continue to be very concerned about the authority.
Their letter says despite an initial investigation and police recommendations, no disciplinary investigation has been carried out into complaints about the small padded "time out room" at a unit for children with special educational needs and behaviour problems.
Ministers say they have since heard about at least five rooms at schools in the county in which children were locked "and there may be several more".
There are separate allegations about a boy at another infant school having his hands tied behind his back.
In a joint statement, Education Minister Leighton Andrews and Deputy Social Services Minister Gwenda Thomas said: "We have waited long enough and we are not prepared to give another warning."
Jamie Adams, the council's independent leader, said he was "perplexed" by the timing of their statement as he had a long-standing appointment to meet ministers on Wednesday.
He said he was also "surprised at the content of this letter" as there had been "positive discussions" with the ministerial board since local elections in May.
"As elected members, we will support staff so that we continue to take all steps to meet the expectations of ministers and, most importantly, the children of this county who continue to be our primary concern," he said.
He has been given a deadline of 17:00 BST on 22 June to respond before ministers decide what action to take.
Sue Perkins, the council's cabinet member for safeguarding and children's services, said: "In my short time as cabinet member I feel we have made strides forward.
"I am sure that following tomorrow's meeting, the ministers will be reassured about the progress that has been made and will agree that safeguarding is top of the Pembrokeshire county council agenda."
Des Mannion is the NSPCC's national head of service in Wales said: "There seems to be emerging concerns and emerging new pieces of information, all cumulatively concerning.
"There does seem to be something systematic. There seems to be a failure that's running through the local authority."
He added: "Irrespective of the policies, we have to remember there are children involved in all of this. All children need to be protected."
Paul Davies AM for Preseli Pembrokeshire said it was important that Pembrokeshire council responds "positively" to addressing some of the failing identified.
He added: "What is important now is that we need to see proper mechanisms in place, we need to see a proper framework in place.
"I think we need to see proper reporting in place that is confident in achieving what we all want to see and that is the protection of our children in Pembrokeshire.
"I've made it quite clear that I support the Welsh government in scrutinising this very serious situation.
"I hope it doesn't come to the Welsh government needing to intervene in this matter and I hope that Pembrokeshire county council and the Welsh government now work together from today onwards to address some of these failings."
Simon Thomas Plaid Cymru's education spokesman at the assembly, says there should be "sweeping changes" in the culture of the council's childrens' department.
He does not believe the council should be given "another day" to put their house in order.


Manchester United were outclassed as Spanish and European champions Real Madrid retained the Uefa Super Cup with victory in a sweltering Skopje.

Madrid dominated from the start and led when Casemiro - who earlier hit the bar - slid in a half volley.
They doubled their lead when Isco calmly slotted in from eight yards after a neat one-two with Gareth Bale, who started ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
New £75m striker Romelu Lukaku tapped in before Marcus Rashford scuffed wide.
The Europa League winners were given encouragement by Lukaku's strike, despite rarely threatening the Madrid goal in the previous hour, and could have scored a barely deserved equaliser through half-time substitute Rashford with nine minutes left.
United were unable to create another clear-cut chance as Madrid became the first team to retain the Super Cup since 1990.
With temperatures over 30C in the Macedonian capital, the match was twice stopped for scheduled cooling breaks implemented by governing body Uefa.
The Red Devils have spent £146m this summer on Everton striker Lukaku (£75m), Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic (£40m) and Benfica defender Victor Lindelof (£31m) as they look to improve on a disappointing sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
All three new signings started as Mourinho named a strong side against the European champions.
Only Ronaldo was missing from the Madrid team which started their victory against Juventus in the Champions League final, providing a stern test for Mourinho's new-look side.
But United struggled against the continent's best, particularly in the first half, as Madrid controlled the tempo with their crisp and purposeful passing.
The English side were unable to effectively keep possession before half-time - managing just 39% of the ball - and mustered only one shot on target when Lukaku headed straight at Madrid keeper Keylor Navas.
Mourinho introduced teenager Rashford at the break, looking to stretch the Spanish club - who the Portuguese boss managed between 2010 and 2013 - on the break.
Although the Red Devils did improve in the second half, they still looked well short of being able to compete with Europe's most talented sides going into their return to the Champions League this season.
Madrid continued to create chances throughout. Bale smashed against the bar when the score was 2-0, while David de Gea also produced superb saves to stop Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.
On the eve of the match, United manager Mourinho said he will "fight with other coaches" to sign Bale if Madrid are willing to sell the Wales forward.
However, he added the former Tottenham winger starting for Madrid in Skopje would be "the clearest signal that he is staying there".
Well, Bale started.
In truth it was always going to be likely as Ronaldo - who came on as a late substitute - only returned to full training at the weekend after being given an extended summer break following Portugal's involvement in the Confederations Cup.
Bale insists he wants to stay at the Bernabeu, but struggled to make a major impact in an injury-hit campaign as Madrid won the Spanish La Liga title and Champions League last season.
The former Southampton player had a chance to prove his worth to Zinedine Zidane as he started up front alongside Karim Benzema.
He instinctively fired over early on, then set up Isco with a perfectly weighted pass before smashing a rising right-footed drive against the bar.
Bale, who was brought off after 75 minutes, will be pleased with his contribution in an impressive team performance.
However, if Madrid do sign exciting Monaco teenager Kylian Mbappe then it would appear Bale could become a peripheral figure at the Bernabeu.
After the game, Bale said he has not been told he can leave.
"I'm just concentrating on football and not listening to anything," he said. "I'm enjoying myself playing here."
Competitive top-level European club games rarely include drink breaks, but they were implemented by Uefa in Skopje after temperatures remained over 30C during the match.
A heatwave nicknamed 'Lucifer' has hit southern Europe with temperatures in the Macedonian capital regularly rising above 40C this week.
The match paused twice - once at the 30-minute mark and again after 72 minutes - for both sets of players to rehydrate.
Both managers used the pair of two-minute breaks to gather their players around and issue some tactical instructions.
Bale said he felt his team coped well with the heat, adding: "It helped we have been training in 38C heat in Madrid."
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho:
"I think we did well. We lost 2-1 which, I think, shows the result was really short, and one of the goals was offside so with a good VAR [video assistant referee] it would be 1-1 and extra time.
"I think they could score more goals than they did, we could score more goals than we did. They had a period of dominance in the middle of the first half, we had a period of dominance in the middle of the second half and some balance in the beginning of the game.
"We were playing against a team of fantastic players and we discussed the result until almost the end, not the end but almost the end."
United, who finished 24 points adrift of champions Chelsea last season, start the new Premier League campaign when they host West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday (16:00 BST).
Madrid face arch-rivals Barcelona at the Nou Camp on Sunday, when the sides meet in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup (21:00 BST).

Britain's Jessica Ennis-Hill is "so happy" she will be awarded her third World Championship heptathlon gold medal, after Tatyana Chernova was stripped of the 2011 title.

Russia's Chernova, 28, who won gold ahead of Ennis-Hill, has had her results annulled for doping.
Ennis-Hill, 30, wrote on Instagram: "Triple world champion. Wow!"
Chernova was banned in 2015 for two years for doping, and stripped of two years of results, up to 14 August 2011.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) now says she must forfeit the world title she won two weeks later.
It comes after an analysis of her biological passport, dating back to 2009.
It's a late birthday present for me and an early Christmas present for Jess
Cas has imposed an additional ban, and added: "All results between 15 August 2011 and 22 July 2013 are annulled and the athlete will forfeit any titles, awards, medals, points and prize and appearance money obtained during this period."
Ennis-Hill posted a photograph on her Instagram account of Chernova celebrating after the final event of the 2011 heptathlon, the 800m.
She wrote: "This image was forever imprinted in my mind. However, much it drove me on for what I was about to achieve at my first Olympics in London, in my heart I just knew it was wrong."
Ennis-Hill's former coach Toni Minichiello told BBC Radio 5 live: "I think you have suspicions but you keep moving forward.
"This is what athletics has to go through. The retesting and reallocating [of final positions] is good for the sport."
He added: "It's a late birthday present for me and an early Christmas present for Jess."
Ennis-Hill announced her retirement from athletics in October.
Germany's Jennifer Oeser, who won bronze in 2011, is set to be promoted to silver, with Poland's Karolina Tyminska in line to take the bronze.
Lithuania's Austra Skujyte is set to be given the Olympic bronze from 2012, having finished fourth behind third-placed Chernova. Ennis-Hill won gold.
Meanwhile, Russian middle-distance runners Ekaterina Sharmina and Kristina Ugarova have also been sanctioned after their cases were taken to Cas by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
Ugarova was named in an independent World Anti-Doping Agency report last November which called for Russian athletes to be banned, but threatened legal action to clear her name.


MSPs at Holyrood have voted by 96 to 17 for a motion which condemns the UK government's plan to renew Trident nuclear weapons.

Ahead of the vote, minister Keith Brown opened a debate on the issue.
He criticised the Â£167bn earmarked to replace the weapons programme and questioned why the money could not be spent to offset welfare cuts.
Dumbarton MSP Jackie Baillie was the only Labour member to vote against the call to reject renewal.
The politician, whose constituency includes Faslane naval base which houses Trident, said: "Faslane is the single biggest site employer in Scotland. More than a quarter of West Dunbartonshire's full-time workforce are employed there in good-quality well-paid jobs.
"The SNP don't want to talk about jobs, [there is] not one mention of jobs in their motion today. The SNP are all about gesture politics, no concern for the workers, only for their position in the polls."
Conservative MSP John Lamont told the chamber that Labour was "muddled" on the issue.
At its conference in Perth at the weekend, Scottish Labour members voted against renewal.
That has resulted in UK leader Jeremy Corbyn and Scottish leader Kezia Dugdale holding different views from each other and from their own parties.
The UK Labour position continues to be to support the continuation of Trident, but Mr Corbyn is firmly against .
Meanwhile, Ms Dugdale supports multilateral disarmament, even though 70% of votes at her party's conference were in favour of the UK getting rid of its nuclear deterrent.
However, Labour MSP Claire Baker told the Holyrood debate that opposition to Trident renewal was her party's "clear position".
She said: "For Scottish Labour on Sunday, the arguments for opposing Trident won the day because they presented a strong case for Trident renewal being the wrong choice at the wrong time.
"But beyond that there was also a strong, fundamental argument against nuclear weapons."
Ms Baker added: "But a decision to cancel Trident is not without significant consequences for the workforce and the communities who rely on these jobs.
"We cannot underestimate what the cancellation would mean to the communities of Faslane and Coulport."
Tory politician Mr Lamont said it was too simplistic to present the issue as a choice between protecting "our country" and "providing support for vulnerable people".
He added: "The truth is that by unilaterally getting rid of our nuclear deterrent the UK's national security would be severely damaged and other states may even be encouraged to acquire their own nuclear weapons as a consequence."
However, Mr Brown insisted it was wrong for the UK government to be contemplating building a new nuclear weapons launch system while, at the same time, introducing "massive cuts to welfare".
He told the chamber: "The UK government remains enthral to nuclear weapons and it appears fixed on writing a blank cheque for their renewal, and it seems to do without clarity or debate on the implications of those decisions, whether for conventional defence forces and equipment or for wider public spending."


Inspectors have criticised the quality of police files sent to the Public Prosecution Service for it to decide whether to take a case to court.

Over 45,500 case files were submitted to the PPS by the police in 2013-14.
A report published by Criminal Justice Inspection says a sample review found that a third were either of an unsatisfactory or poor standard.
The inspectors also expressed serious concerns about the level of disclosure of information to defence legal teams.
Brendan McGuigan, the CJI chief inspector, said disclosure was dealt with satisfactorily by police in only 23% of crown court cases.
He said this was "unacceptable".
"The statutory duty placed on both the police and prosecution to disclose material which may be of assistance to the defence has become germane to achieving a fair trial," he said.
"Disclosure is an integral part of the criminal justice process and when statutory obligations are not met, it can lead to a number of potentially damaging outcomes including abuse of process arguments at trial and the acquittal of an accused person."
The inspectors recommend that the PSNI establishes a new disclosure unit, and that the PPS gives the police greater support and guidance to ensure that legal obligations are met.
On the quality of files sent to the PPS by police, the report says too many are not submitted on time, or to an acceptable standard.
It also criticises the Public Prosecution Service, saying it must do more to set out clear guidance about the quality of files it expects and needs to make a decision about whether a case should go to court.
"Poor quality files leads to increased costs, court adjournments, avoidable delay and in the worst cases, prosecutions being discontinued, all of which weakens public confidence in the justice system," Mr McGuigan said.
The inspectors say the problems with file quality are due to a combination of factors.
These include a lack of knowledge and understanding among police officers, weaknesses in supervision and quality assurance, and a failure to properly use electronic systems.
This is not the first time the quality of police files has been criticised by inspectors, but CJI says it is "heartened" by the response from the PSNI and PPS.
Chief Constable George Hamilton and the director of public prosecutions Barra McGrory QC have established a prosecution team to work collaboratively to address the issues raised.
In a joint statement, the PPS and PSNI said they accepted the report's six strategic recommendations.
"Both organisations face significant pressures to deliver their respective service with fewer resources, and we are committed to working collaboratively to overcome longstanding challenges that contribute to delays in getting cases to court," they said.
"This will see us re-design and re-balance our working relationship to facilitate maximum focus on areas of greatest importance."


The London market ended lower, with companies with business interests in South Africa hit after the country's finance minister was sacked.

The removal of Pravin Gordhan after days of speculation sent South Africa's currency, the rand, lower.
Insurer Old Mutual, which has significant interests in South Africa, fell 7.5% in response.
The benchmark FTSE 100 share index was down 46.6 points, or 0.63%, at 7,322.92  by the end of the day.
Other companies with exposure to South Africa's economy were also affected, with private hospital group Mediclinic International falling 6.19%.
Miners also weighed on the index as metal prices fell, with Anglo American down 3.4% and BHP Billiton losing 2.9%.
Direct Line was one of the better performers in the FTSE 100, climbing 1.8%, after a couple of broker upgrades.
HSBC raised its rating on the UK insurance group to "buy", while it was lifted to "overweight" at JP Morgan.
In the FTSE 250, shares in challenger bank Shawbrook soared 11.5% after it received an Â£842m takeover offer from private equity firms Pollen Street Capital and BC Partners. Shawbrook has rejected the offer.
On the currency markets, the pound climbed 0.54% against the dollar to $1.2536, while against the euro it rose 0.27% to 1.1717 euros.


We live in important times and the Belfast Telegraph is feeling the hand of history on its shoulder - with several pages devoted to the DUP deal and the party's sudden rise to prominence.

"DUP's day to make history," the paper proclaims with a picture of leader Arlene Foster and deputy Nigel Dodds at the iconic door of No 10.
The paper says Mrs Foster is poised to sign a historic deal with Prime Minister Theresa May that will put the DUP centre stage at Westminster.
Inside, the paper says the DUP will be "at the heart of government".  Its commentators are swift to comment on how a leader who faced calls to quit over a heating scandal is now "kingmaker" or should that be "queen maker"?
Ruth Dudley Edwards opts for a more measured and utterly British approach: "Let's all just keep calm and carry on."
And David Gordon reaches for the "immortal and profound" words of country singer Kenny Rogers to underline the importance of not overplaying your hand.
"You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the deal is done."
Politicians should know how quickly fortunes can rise and fall in their game, he writes. He issues a little warning: "There is a tendency among some in the party to swagger and bluster when things are going their way. They should know by now that doesn't always end well."
The Mirror does not spare readers with its front-page headline.
"Chopped up body is a woman," it proclaims, telling how walkers found a head in a plastic bag on a remote mountainside in County Wicklow.
Inside, the paper features former prime minister and "Tory grandee" John Major talking about his fears for the peace process as the DUP takes a key role in government.
"Major warns of Trouble ahead", reads the headline, close to a picture of the DUP's 10 MPs .
The Mirror has thoughtfully added a few speech bubbles, so that we have Mrs Foster saying: "The future's bright..." and Ian Paisley Jnr adding: "The future's Orange."
The News Letter carries the same front-page picture as the Belfast Telegraph - the DUP leader and deputy at the door of Downing Street - below a headline: "Let's seal the deal".
The paper says the party was, last night, "on the cusp of a deal" and it quotes the headline from the London Standard: "We are the masters now".
In his analysis, the paper's political correspondent notes that this is "no shotgun marriage" and the public relationship this week is "the culmination of much preparatory work", predating Theresa May's time in No 10. The DUP has been preparing the ground for this sort of moment for a long time, writes Sam McBride.
The paper also carries that interview with John Major warning of "Northern Ireland hard men lurking in corners".
The News Letter also quotes Sinn FÃ©in saying it has 250,000 reasons not to go to Westminster, dismissing speculation that they  could help Labour block Theresa May's Queen's Speech.
The paper quotes West Belfast MP Paul Maskey who argues that the people who voted for his party gave them a mandate not to take their seats.
The Irish News opts for a front-page lead bound to raise temperatures.
It claims that Belfast City Council is storing 1,500 pallets for loyalists building bonfires for 12 July.
The paper says council vans were spotted removing the pallets from a site close to Sandy Row after "an agreement with the local community".
The Irish News has learned that the pallets are being stored and are expected to be returned in time for the Twelfth.
The paper quotes Alliance councillor Emmet McDonough-Brown who calls the plans "deeply disappointing".
"Such actions are clearly more expedient than strategic and they send the wrong message about dumping in the city," he says.
A council spokesman is also quoted, stating that no arrangements have been made for the return of the pallets back to the bonfire site.
Commentator Brian Feeney is rolling his eyes about the state of Stormont talks and the idea of Secretary of State James Brokenshire chairing them,
"It's self-evidently ridiculous, an insult to the intelligence of people here, for her (Theresa May's) re-appointed clone to propose to chair all-party meetings when the government he's in depends for its existence on one of the parties.
"C'mon. Peddling that preposterous balderdash to interviewers invites having them laugh in his face," he writes.
Finally, it is Novena time in west Belfast. The paper says the nine-day Clonard Novena draws more than 100,000 visitors every year.
The marquees are up, the toilets have been installed and the flags are flying, says the Irish News.
It quotes one of the organisers who says that everybody is welcome... of all religions and none.
God moves in mysterious ways and for those who cannot make the journey, there's always the webcam.


Europe's Swarm mission to measure the Earth's magnetic field in unprecedented detail is achieving impressive levels of performance, scientists say.

Even though the trio of satellites were only launched in November, they are already sensing the global field to a precision that took previous ventures years of data-gathering.
Engineers recently finished all their main commissioning tasks.
They have now put the Swarm constellation in full science mode.
The hope is that the satellites can operate together for perhaps 10 years.
Certainly, their fuel situation is extremely positive thanks to a very accurate orbit insertion by the launch rocket.
“We are on our way; we have very good measurements and we are ready to start accumulating all the data that will provide excellent models for the way the magnetic field is generated by our planet,” said Dr Rune Floberghagen.
The European Space Agency mission manager was providing an update here in Vienna at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly.
Earth's magnetic field is worthy of study because it is the vital shield that protects the planet from all the charged particles streaming off the Sun.
Without it, those particles would strip away the atmosphere, just as they have done at Mars.
Investigating the magnetic field also has direct practical benefits, such as improving the reliability of satellite navigation systems which can be affected by magnetic and electrical conditions high in the atmosphere.
Swarm’s three identical satellites are equipped with a variety of instruments – the key ones being state-of-the-art magnetometers that measure the strength and the direction of the field.
Two of the spacecraft, known as Alpha and Charlie, are currently flying in tandem at an altitude of 462km, and will descend over time.
The third platform, Bravo, has been raised to 510km. A drift has also been initiated that will separate B’s orbital plane from that of A and C during the course of the next few years.
This geometry will enable Swarm to see the field in three dimensions, and to better gauge its variations in time and space.
It will mean the different components in the field can also be teased apart – from the dominant contribution coming from the iron dynamo in the planet’s outer core to the very subtle magnetism generated by the movement of our salt-water oceans.
Describing these features in detail will take a while, but as an early benchmark the science team has assembled a model of the global field. It is based on just a few months of magnetometer data gathered in the post-launch commissioning phase.
And it shows that Swarm is providing more or less the same signal as a decade of data from the German predecessor mission known as Champ.
This is illustrated in the image at the top of this page.
“It shows the difference between the Swarm model and the Champ model. And what you see is the model error. Ideally, it should be white all over,” explained Prof Nils Olsen from the Technical University of Denmark.
The fact that the models are in such good agreement so soon was enormously encouraging, he told BBC News.
Engineers are still working a few niggles, which is not unexpected at this stage of a new mission.
For example, a back-up magnetometer on the Charlie platform has failed, perhaps damaged by the intense shaking experienced during launch.
Fully working primary instrumentation means this should not present a problem. But as a precaution, Charlie will now fly in the lower tandem pairing rather than as the lone high satellite, which was originally going to be its role.
Engineers also have some unexpected noise in their data. It is a very small signal but the team told the EGU meeting that they intended to get on top of the issue.
The interference in the magnetic data seems to come and go as the satellites move in and out of sunlight. It is possible that a component inside the spacecraft is evolving its own inherent field as temperatures change.
“It is not so much heating as differential heating that we think may be the problem,” said Prof Olsen.
“It seems on occasions that the Sun is producing some shadows because of features on the spacecraft, and this produces a thermal gradient.
“That’s our current working hypothesis, but I am confident we’ll solve this issue.”

Around 50 people are protesting outside a supermarket depot in County Antrim, calling for a fair price for farm produce.

It is understood a number of tractors and farm vehicles are parked at the entrance to the Lidl regional distribution centre near Nutts Corner.
There have been several protests by farmers about the slump in milk prices in recent weeks.
These have been held across the UK.
Earlier on Tuesday, Northern Ireland Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill met Environment Secretary Liz Truss in London to seek support in lobbying the European Union over the dairy crisis.


Police in Poland have detained at least 11 people after a naked demonstration at the Auschwitz museum, on the site of the former Nazi death camp.

The museum said "a group of people killed a sheep, undressed and chained themselves together".
The incident took place beneath the main gate, which bears the infamous slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei" ("Work sets you free").
The motive behind the demonstration was unclear, officials said.
A firecracker was also launched in the car park.
Museum guards immediately intervened and ordered the group to dress. Police attended the site in the southern city of Oswiecim, which was closed to visitors.
The individuals involved are said to be aged 20 to 27, and their identities are unknown.
The seven men and four women included six Poles, four Belarusians and one German, regional police spokesman Sebastian Glen said.
The demonstrators could be charged with insulting a monument or symbolic place, which may result in a fine or a restriction of liberty, police said.
Local media reported that they used a drone to film the disturbance, and draped a white banner with the red text "love" over the gate.
Some Polish media say the action was a protest against the war in Ukraine, the BBC Warsaw correspondent Adam Easton reports.
In a statement, the Auschwitz museum said: "Using the symbol of Auschwitz for any kind of manifestations or happenings is outrageous and unacceptable. It is disrespectful to the memory of all the victims of the German Nazi Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp".
About 1.1 million people, including one million Jews, were murdered by the Nazis at the camp.


"Payslip-gate", as it has come to be known, has been dominating the news headlines in Iran for months.

The scandal began in May when the payslips of top managers at the state insurance company were leaked to the media, showing they were receiving very generous salaries.
In the weeks that followed more payslips mysteriously found their way into the public domain, revealing the earnings of a range of officials from top civil servants to bank bosses.
Some were apparently getting around 50 times the minimum public sector wage.
Many were also being paid big bonuses and extras, taking their overall salaries to upwards of a hundred times the average household income.
In a country where public sector jobs are normally considered as low paid, and where civil servants often take second jobs to make ends meet, the revelations came as a shock.
Spin-off media reports about bank executives staying in $5,000 (Â£3,800)-a-night hotel rooms on business trips only added to public anger.
The saga has been a major blow to the reputation of the government of President Hassan Rouhani.
The millions of Iranians who voted for him in the 2013 were hoping for change and in particular an improvement to their country's dire economic situation.
Although the president has delivered on his election promises of resolving the stand-off over Iran's nuclear programme, and opening the way for sanctions to be lifted, there has been little concrete improvement in ordinary people's lives so far.
Hardliners have seized the opportunity to attack Mr Rouhani and his team as Iranian politics moves into a higher gear ahead of presidential elections due to take place next May.
There has been a drumbeat of negative coverage in the conservative media.
Things have also got personal with critics targeting Mr Rouhani's brother, Hossein Ferydoun, who has been accused of having close links to some of the officials at the centre of the scandal.
Many Iranians have been taking to social media to vent their fury.
"Why such high payments to officials whose inefficiency is evident all over the country?" asked one Twitter user called Sharzad.  "Is this the new way of tackling corruption?"
"Now I've seen their payslips, I understand why officials used to say 'the sanctions have no effects whatsoever'," said another Twitter user, Ilkar.
"Iran needs a few Robin Hoods!" quipped another, Mohammad.
Even the country's supreme leader was moved to intervene, branding the salaries, unacceptable and "astronomical".
Mr Rouhani and other officials have repeatedly said that the problem is not widespread and that only a handful of managers earn what they call "irregular salaries".
A number of officials named in the payslip revelations have now been sacked, and one senior banking official - Ali Rastagar Sorkhei, from Mellat Bank - has been arrested.
This week the government announced that it was introducing a new cap on state officials' salaries.
But many Iranians say all this has come too late to stop the tide of resentment.
Reports of businesses failing to pay their employees on time or at all, and disputes over low wages, are becoming regular occurrences in Iran.
In May, 17 gold miners in West Azerbaijan province in north-west Iran were lashed on the orders of the judiciary after their employers sued them for protesting over the sacking of hundreds of their colleagues.
Against this background it is not difficult to understand why the payslip row has made many people so angry and many officials so nervous.
Whether or not the scandal is limited to a very few senior executives, as the government claims, it underlines the widening divide in Iran between the rich and the poor.
For ordinary voters, the fact that the economy still is not delivering is now a major cause of concern.
Anyone who wants their vote in next year's election will need to have a clear plan for how to resolve the problem.


Defending Olympic champion Katie Taylor says she has no concerns about the Zika virus which has caused many golfers to withdraw from this year's Games in Rio.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Rory McIlroy and world number one Jason Day are among the top players to pull out over the threat of the mosquito-borne disease.
Irish boxer Taylor said: "it's not even something I'm worried about".
"I'm not thinking about it, I'm focused on the competition itself and trying to come home a two-time Olympic champion."
The Zika virus has been linked to defects in newborn babies but Taylor has been critical of the golfers' withdrawals.
Last week she tweeted "I wonder what excuse they would have made if there was no virus," after Jason Day became the latest to opt out.
At the Team Ireland Olympic kit launch in Dublin on Wednesday, Taylor said: "we have been given a lot of advice on it and it's not really something that we should be too worried about".
Taylor has suffered a couple of surprising defeats this year.
She lost her world lightweight title after a semi-final defeat to Estelle Mossely of France in May, having already lost to Azerbaijan's Yana Alekseevna at the semi-finals of the European Olympic qualifiers.
However she is confident she can retain her Olympic title won in London four years ago.
"It would mean absolutely everything to me really.
"After I came back from London with a gold medal, my focus straight away was to defend it four years on.
"To stand on top of the podium in front of every other nation would be a privilege and an honour."


Significant archaeological discoveries have delayed the completion of a £4m refurbishment of York Theatre Royal.

The theatre closed in March and had been expected to reopen in time of for the annual pantomime in December.
It was built on the site of the medieval St Leonard's Hospital and it was thought the hospital foundations had been destroyed.
However, archaeologist have found the medieval foundations intact beneath the main auditorium.
Ben Reeves, from York Archaeological Trust, said:  "It is amazing that considering all the alterations to the theatre so much of the medieval hospital has survived under the stalls and elsewhere within the building.
"The remains are an exciting and important discovery for both archaeologists and the public."
St Leonard's Hospital was founded in the 13th Century but closed in the 1530s as part of the dissolution of the monasteries.
The Grade-II listed theatre was originally constructed amidst the hospital ruins in 1744.
It was enlarged in the 1760s and was refurbished in the Victorian style in the 1880s. A modernist glass extension was added in 1967.
The theatre said this year's pantomime would be held in a semi-permanent, purpose-built auditorium at the National Railway Museum (NRM).
All 13,500 people who have bought tickets will receive a letter offering them seats of a similar value for the production at the NRM.
The York Conservation Trust said the building would reopen in time for the spring 2016 season.


Police are investigating reports of hare coursing near three villages in the Scottish Borders.

Several men, "lurcher-type dogs" and two 4x4 vehicles - one a blue Subaru - were seen near Grantshouse, Ayton and Chirnside on Tuesday.
Police said the hunting of hares with dogs was an offence and caused "distress to wildlife and dogs" as well as damage to farmland.
Anyone with information has been asked to come forward.
PC Nick Walker said hare coursing was most likely to occur at weekends or evenings during daylight hours.
"Spring and autumn are the peak seasons and coursing generally takes place on flat arable farmland and grassland without the consent of the landowner," he said.
"Those involved in this activity will usually use lurchers, greyhounds and whippets which hunt by sight and are normally walked across fields on slip leads and are released when any hares run off.
"It has been known for multiple dogs to chase one hare and money to change hands dependent on which dog kills the hare."


Manchester City have signed Spain forward Nolito from Celta Vigo after meeting his £13.8m release clause.

The 29-year-old has signed a four-year contract to become City's third summer signing.
New manager Pep Guardiola has already brought in Ilkay Gundogan from Borussia Dortmund for £20m, as well as Australian midfielder Aaron Mooy.
Nolito started all four of Spain's matches at Euro 2016 before they were knocked out in the last 16 by Italy.
"I think that Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world," said Nolito, whose real name is Manuel Agudo Duran.
"He knows a lot about the game and he's going to help me progress as a player. I'm sure he'll get the best out of me."

Campaigners spent £6.7m ahead of the Scottish independence referendum, the Electoral Commission has reported.

The UK regulator of elections said 42 organisations and individuals were officially registered as campaigners.
The September 2014 poll resulted in voters rejecting Scottish independence by 55% to 45%.
Campaigners spending more than £250,000 were required to submit an independently audited return to the commission by 18 March of this year.
The two official campaigns, Better Together and Yes Scotland, spent a total of £1,422,602 and £1,420,800 respectively.
The commission said all campaigners were required to submit invoices of more than £200.
However, it revealed that information was missing from Better Together's returns and that it was consulting with both the Crown Office and procurator fiscal office as to whether a legal investigation needed to be held.
In a statement, Better Together said: "The Electoral Commission have been provided with further information in regards to any queries and have been provided with the supporting evidence they require for Better Together's referendum expenditure.
"Any items of expenditure (train bookings for example) for which invoices could not be sourced are supported by bank statements showing this expenditure to ensure transparency in our returns.
"The Electoral Commission are legally obliged to liaise with the Crown Office in this regard. There is no investigation under way."
Political parties who had representatives in the Scottish Parliament were also allowed to spend large amounts of money ahead of the referendum.
The SNP had a limit of £1,344,000 and spent £1,298,567; the Labour Party had a limit of £831,000 and spent £732,482 and the Conservative Party had a limit of £399,000 and spent £356,191.
The Electoral Commission is now preparing a report which could include recommendations on rule changes to spending by campaigners taking part in future referendums.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who is leading the new majority Conservative government at Westminster, has promised to hold a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU by the end of 2017.


The number of reports of suspected brothels in Swindon has nearly doubled in a year, the BBC has learnt.

Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that in 2014 Wiltshire Police received 60 reports, however this rose to 112 in 2015.
The force said the rise is partly due to increased public awareness, and the internet "assisted this type of crime".
Officers also found many of the women arrested are being trafficked from Poland and Romania.
Detective sergeant Chris Hitchcock said: "We are seeing an increase in the girls brought across. The Eastern European crime groups are involved.
"Not every girl that we come across has been trafficked, but they are largely vulnerable.
"The girls are often subject to assault and put in financial debt as well. With that comes quite a degree of control over them."
Wiltshire Police said tackling the issue of "pop-up brothels" is a priority for the force.


UK retail sales rose by 0.2% in May, a slowdown from a rise of 0.9% in April, after shoppers bought fewer clothes.

The Office for National Statistics said clothing sales were 1.6% down on April's level, the biggest fall since September 2014.
Economists had expected retail sales to be flat in May after sales in April were boosted by unusually warm weather.
By contrast, May was cooler than normal.


Plans to build a £500m development around Reading FC's football ground have been approved.

The proposed Royal Elm Park includes 600 homes, a convention centre, a 246-bed hotel and an ice rink.
Fans had expressed concerns that the building work - on top of the Madejski stadium's car park - would make it more difficult to get to the ground.
But deputy council leader Tony Page said the development should benefit the club.
In November, the Thai consortium that owns the Championship club announced it intended to sell their majority stake in the club to brother and sister Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li.
Concerns had been raised that the development would not benefit the club if the takeover took place.
Labour councillor Mr Page said: "Any attempt to fragment it and split off aspects of it will be resisted by the council."
The deputy council leader, who leads strategic environment, planning and transport, added: "I and all my colleagues on the council are concerned to ensure that it remains a package of measures that benefits the club."
The development, which will be situated next to the Madejski Stadium will include shops, leisure facilities and restaurants, and could create about 1,000 jobs.
Some Reading FC fans were hesitant about the development going ahead, but Nathan Saleh said: "I'm certainly more confident in the development.
"I definitely see it as a positive rather than a negative. If you look at it as a whole, it's very good for this areas."
Mr Page added that the reduction in fan parking would force fans to use public transport to games.
He said: "Tickets will be sold with inclusive travel on the buses, that is the way to shift people.
"We will make it as such that people will not take cars [to games]."


Smartphones have edged ahead of laptops for the first time as the preferred devices for connecting online in the UK, a report by Ofcom says.

The communications watchdog said 33% of Britons opted for smartphones as the device of choice in 2014, ahead of 30% who preferred laptops.
Ofcom said the toppling of the laptop was a "landmark moment".
Data from studies in 2014 also suggests that Britons took 1.2bn selfies last year, it said.
Some 31% of Britons said they had taken a picture of themselves in the past year, with one in 10 adults taking at least one per week, Ofcom added.
It said that the rise in smartphones with increasingly good cameras was potentially fuelling the craze.
The smartphone was found to be more popular than the digital camera for taking and storing photos in 2014, with 60% of adults and 89% of 16 to 24 year olds using their phone for photography.
However, just 29% of adults aged over 35 said they backed up their digital pictures, and 70% said they displayed printed copies of their favourites at home.
Ofcom compiles its Communications Market Report every year to monitor the UK's habits.
UK adults spent nearly two hours a day on average using the internet on their phones, according to its report.
The margin of people who said they thought their their phones were "more important" than their laptops for connection online was small -  19% opted for tablets and 14% for desktop computers - but the change is still significant, said Jane Rumble, director of market intelligence at Ofcom.
"We've reached a landmark moment where the smartphone has become the most important way for people to get online - just last year laptops were in first place," she said.
By the end of 2014, 23.6 million people were using 4G mobile internet and more than half of them were using it to shop online.
The study also found that 4G users did more banking, instant messaging and video clip watching on their phones than those without.
In Britain, 90% of homes now have 4G access and that figure is set to rise to 98% by the end of 2017, said Ms Rumble.
Just 2% of British homes still do not have access to even the most basic 2G mobile internet signal, she added.
While tablet use is up by 10% on the previous year with just over half of households now owning one, the majority are not being used as mobile devices, said Ms Rumble.
"They tend to be more family or household equipment, shared in the home, using wifi - they are very much home devices," she said.
Despite the recent launches of high-profile smartwatches such as the Apple Watch and Pebble, wearables did not feature highly in Ofcom's report.
"Less than 5% of UK adults own a smartwatch but given the rapid increase in 4G take-up, I think that is likely to be set to continue [to rise]," said Ms Rumble.
The report also found that adults watched an average of three hours and 40 minutes of television each day on traditional TV sets - down by 11 minutes on the previous year.
"We have seen a small decline... but we are still watching a lot of TV," said Ms Rumble.


The Syrian uprising has left a fractured media environment, split between areas controlled by the government, Islamic State militants and other armed groups.

Scores of journalists and citizen journalists have been killed since the start of the revolt in 2011.
Syria was the world's deadliest country for journalists in 2014, says Reporters Without Borders. Islamic State jihadists "enforce an information dictatorship" in the areas they control.
Foreign journalists have been among the captives whose murders have been shown in online videos posted by Islamic State militants.
In areas held by other groups, there is a flourishing, if somewhat chaotic, media scene.
Satellite TV is the most popular medium and non-Syrian TVs have big audiences. The government and ruling party operate broadcast and print media. Media in government-controlled areas are strongly supportive of the president.
Opposition satellite TVs broadcast from abroad and have proliferated since 2011; they include London-based Barada TV, UAE-based Orient TV and Al-Ghad TV.
Radio is a key platform for Syria's opposition media. At least a dozen stations operate online from abroad or on FM in rebel-held areas. Some are run by NGOs, with Western support.
The three main newspapers are state-run. Privately-owned titles are predominantly operated by figures with good government connections.
With around 5.9 million internet users by 2014 (InternetLiveStats.com), the web has emerged as a vehicle for dissent.
Facebook is the favoured platform for citizen journalists, activists, militia groups and supporters of all sides to disseminate news. Twitter has a much smaller take-up
There are heavy government controls in the form of filtering and surveillance.
The pro-government Syrian Electronic Army has targeted opposition and foreign websites in an ongoing series of high-profile cyber-attacks.


Women's Super League One side Reading have signed former Sunderland midfielder Brooke Chaplen on an 18-month deal.

The 27-year-old former England youth international, who left Sunderland at the end of last season, has previously had spells with Chelsea and Everton.
"Brooke is a really exciting addition," Royals boss Kelly Chambers said.
"She is a goal scoring player who definitely adds to my attacking options and fits well into our style of play."


Twelve buildings across the East Midlands have been shortlisted for a regional architecture prize.

Contenders for The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) annual award include a castle, a former glass warehouse and a school sports pavilion.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Nottingham later.
This 19th century cart shed and outbuildings on the Chatsworth estate have been transformed into a series of teaching and presentation places. Architects used traditional stone, historic lime mortars and stainless steel to help preserve the buildings.
This house was designed in a curve to reflect the contours and meadows of the Peak District. The stone and natural timber material used were chosen to reflect a dry stone wall or a stone barn typical of the area.
Derby Arena includes a 250m indoor cycle track, 1,500-capacity grandstand and a sports infield. The venue has been described as "world class" by four-time Olympic gold medallist and Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins.
A garage, garden store and the remains of an old piggery have been demolished to make way for a new building that includes a kitchen and bathroom. Located between the main house and garden, the owners hope to use it as a weekend retreat.
Two buildings have combined to create a new entrance for the university's Clifton campus. They have replaced worn out 1960s' teaching blocks and incorporate classroom and lecture spaces.
This former 1970s glass warehouse has been turned into printmaking studios, a library, gallery and educational space. The restoration of the building, in the city's Cultural Quarter, was part funded by Arts Council England.
Visitors to Lincoln Castle can now complete a full circuit of the walls as part of the introduction of a series of stairwells, a new railing system and bridges. The project also created a new vault for their copy of Magna Carta and Charter of the Forest. It is, as such, the only place where both documents can be seen together.
The focal point of this Â£40m development in Nottingham is a 160m facade which has filled a hole in the city's streetscape. Balconies, pavilions and terraces on the south side of the building create viewing points for the canal below.
The Nottingham University Academy of Science and Technology (NUAST) offers a specialist curriculum to 14 and 19-year-olds. The three-storey entrance takes visitors into the school's innovation hub with screens allowing them to overlook the science and engineering activities inside.
This building, which has been built on the site of the previous pavilion, is a continuation of the school's 160-year cricketing history. It is also more energy efficient and allows for views across the school's rugby pitches.
This house was created on the site of a smaller, existing dwelling. It stands alone, remote from the nearest village, on a ridge of higher ground overlooking the rolling landscape of a nearby farm.
The building's protruding barrel-vaulted zinc roofs have been created to mimic Welbeck Abbey. The collection's entrance allows visitors to look out onto a line of trees and a 19th century lodge.


Vanity Fair and Newsweek writer Kurt Eichenwald has claimed he suffered an epileptic seizure after receiving a malicious tweet containing flashing images.

The message, sent from an account which has since been suspended said: "you deserve a seizure for your posts".
Shortly afterwards, Mr Eichenwald's wife tweeted from his account saying the images had caused a seizure.
The incident was reported to the police in the US.
Mr Eichenwald had previously written about how he had been "assaulted" via the internet.
He confirmed in a series of tweets that he is pursuing legal action against the person responsible for this latest incident.
"Last night, for the second time, a deplorable aware I have epilepsy tweeted a strobe at me... It worked," he said.
"This is not going to happen again. My wife is terrified. I am... disgusted. All I will be tweeting for the next few days are copies of documents from the litigation, police reports etc.
"Once we have the lawsuit filed, we will be subpoenaing Twitter for the identity of the individual who engaged in this cross-state assault," he added.
Simon Wigglesworth, deputy chief executive at Epilepsy Action, said: "We are appalled that someone would go to these lengths to bring on a seizure in another person."
"Seizures are not only very distressing for the person experiencing them, but can also cause injury and, in the worst cases, be fatal," he added.
Mr Wigglesworth explained that photosensitive epilepsy is a type of epilepsy in which seizures are triggered by flashing or flickering light.
He warned that if this incident had happened in the UK it might have been a breach of the law, perhaps of the Computer Misuse Act.
Stefano Seri, a professor of clinical neurophysiology and developmental neuropsychiatry at Aston University, explained how the material in the tweet must have been carefully constructed.
"Abrupt changes in light intensity, or luminance, can trigger seizures. The most sensitive range is about 15-25 flashes per second," said Prof Seri.
"The picture would need to occupy most of the visual field. It would take some very sick people to do this, but technically, it is possible.
"Modern LED screens are not as provocative as older ones. It takes a very carefully designed stimulus to induce a seizure," Prof Seri added.
Mr Eichenwald is a prominent critic of US president-elect Donald Trump and had clashed with a Fox News host in a TV interview the day before receiving the flashing tweet.
He has also used Twitter to directly address complaints to the incoming US president.
After his wife tweeted about the seizure, the responses received included messages from staunch supporters of Mr Trump, some of whom mocked the situation.
Professor Seri advised those with epilepsy to be cautious when viewing unknown material online.
"You should sit far enough from the stimulus so it doesn't fill your vision and watch in a sufficiently lit room so the impact of any flashes is lessened," the professor advised.
"In a well lit room your baseline is higher, so changes are less dramatic. Don't open attachments from people you don't know."
There have been instances in the past of accidental seizure triggers being broadcast.
In December 1997 more than 600 children in Japan were taken to hospital after feeling sick while watching cartoons on television.
Some suffered convulsions, while others complained of eye irritation.
They were reported to have fallen ill after seeing a cartoon monster flash its eyes.
In June 2007 a segment of animated footage promoting the 2012 Olympics was removed from the organisers' website after fears were raised that it could trigger epileptic seizures.
In July 2015 Twitter was criticised for uploading two video adverts that featured a looping, rapid succession of flashing colours.
Eventually the company removed them.
Mr Eichenwald said he would be taking a break from Twitter.


England registered a clean sweep against Thailand in Saturday's fourballs at the UL International Crown to finish top of their pool.

Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Holly Clyburn recorded a 7&5 victory over Pornanong Phatlum and Porani Chutichai, and Mel Reid and Charley Hull beat Ariya Jutanugarn and Moriya Jutanugarn 3&1.
Hull had missed play on Friday because of asthma and a fever.
Victory saw England advance to Sunday's concluding singles in Illinois.
The country with the highest point total from the four days of competition will win the title of the best golf nation in the world after the end of the 10 singles matches.

The parents of a man killed when his car was hit at high speed have put the wreckage on display at Westminster as part of a campaign for tougher sentences by road safety charity Brake.

Joseph Brown-Lartey died as his vehicle was split in half by a car driven by Addil Haroon in Rochdale in 2014.
Haroon, then 18, drove through a red light in a residential area at 80mph and was later jailed for six years.
Mr Brown-Lartey's father said it was like being "kicked in the teeth twice".
Mr Brown-Lartey was 25 when he died, and his father Ian said it was "very upsetting" that Haroon would be younger than that when he got out of prison.
"It's just like we've been kicked in the teeth twice. You lose your son and then the legal system that you trusted lets you down too," he said.
Dawn Brown-Lartey, Joseph's mother, said there was "no deterrent" to stop people driving dangerously.
"Judges are bound by guidelines and the guidelines need to be changed," she said.
Hours before the fatal crash, Haroon took a photo on his phone as his speedometer reached 142mph.
He messaged a friend with the words: "Leeds to Rochdale in 11 mins catch me."
In court, he admitted causing death by dangerous driving, causing death whilst unlicensed, causing death whilst uninsured and dangerous driving.
Brake's Roads to Justice campaign argues that families are "betrayed time and again by our justice system", and calls for tougher penalties for drivers who maim or kill.
According to a poll commissioned by the charity, 66% of people believe drivers who kill should be jailed for a minimum of 10 years.
The survey of 1,000 people also found 91% believe drivers who cause a fatal crash after drinking alcohol or taking drugs should be charged with manslaughter, which carries a possible life sentence.
Gary Rae, director of campaigns for Brake, said: "Drivers who kill while taking illegal risks are too often labelled 'careless' in the eyes of the law, and then given insultingly low sentences when their actions can only be described as dangerous and destructive."

Concerns have been raised about changes to the way Freedom of information (FoI) requests are handled in Scotland.

All Scottish government FoI requests are now published online after complaints about late responses.
The Scottish Liberal Democrats say journalists have been put off making requests because rivals get the answers at the same time.
Ministers insist it shows Scotland has one of "the most open and transparent governments in the world".
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act gives everyone the right to ask for any information held by a Scottish public authority, with a response required within 20 working days.
Some information can be exempt but an organisation must explain the exemption which applies.
The Lib Dems claim the new system of open publication is "devaluing the information".
MSP Tavish Scott said ministers had "figured out they can evade scrutiny, deter the submission of requests and spike stories".
There has been a row over Scotland's freedom of information system after a group of journalists signed an open letter voicing concerns.
In June, MSPs unanimously condemned the Scottish government's performance on FOI requests and called for an independent inquiry.
In response, the Scottish government announced it would publish all information released in response to FoI requests online from July.
Mr Scott said: "Ministers accepted a degree of criticism of their performance.
"However, the only measure they have really championed to address the fact they weren't responding properly to freedom of information requests, publicly publishing all material released under FoI, is fraught with dangers of its own.
"Just weeks into the new regime I am hearing from journalists that this is having a chilling effect on their work. We need quality investigative journalism to acquire the truth and get to the bottom of spin. These changes are designed to deter that.
"Immediately publishing information publicly removes the incentive for journalists to pursue stories as they fear that whatever they uncover will immediately be made available to all their competitors.
"This wheeze means the Scottish government can appear transparent while achieving the opposite."
Mr Scott called for an independent inquiry into how the Freedom of Information system operated.
He added: "There is a good argument that information released under FoI laws should be in the public domain. However, the best process for doing this should be considered as part of a wider independent inquiry.
"For example, a short delay between the provision of the information to the applicant and it being published could make the system fairer.
"Meanwhile, the original problem of industrial scale evasion and the failure to release information we have a right to remains. Just this week, my party had to again chase up information that was asked for 17 weeks ago."
The Scottish government said FoI legislation has been extended to extra public bodies and that access to national records has been reduced from 30 years to 15 as part of a drive to improve transparency.
A spokesman for Parliamentary Business Minister Joe FitzPatrick said: "This is an extraordinary statement from Tavish Scott, who is suggesting that the Scottish government is now releasing too much information, implying that we should instead cut back on the amount of material we release.
"Under this government, freedom of information has been extended, and Scotland now has one of the most open and transparent information and governance systems, which has been praised internationally."


Belfast Giants made a losing start to the 2016/17 campaign with a 5-2 defeat by Fife Flyers in the Challenge Cup.

The Scottish hosts were 3-0 ahead by end of the first period on Saturday night after goals from Stephen Gunn, Sebastien Thinel and Richard Jackman.
David Rutherford pulled one back for the Giants but Justin Fox restored Fife's three-goal advantage.
Rutherford completed his double before Chase Scaber ended hopes of a Belfast comeback in the third period.
The two teams will meet in the Challenge Cup return game at the SSE Arena next Saturday night.
Elite League action gets underway for the Giants 24 hours later with a trip to take on Coventry Blaze.

Emily Kay, 21, won the new-look omnium - reduced from six races over two days to four in one - by one point to add to her win in Friday's team pursuit.
Kay won on 121 points, ahead of Lotte Kopecky with Tatsiana Sharakova on 119.
Jack Carlin, Ryan Owens and Joe Truman then won the men's team sprint, beating France by almost one second.
Britain have won the past three Olympic titles in the event but with Olympic champions Phil Hindes, Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner all resting, Carlin, Owens and Truman stepped up.
Kay, who matched Olympic champion Laura Kenny's haul of team pursuit and omnium gold, said that while "they are pretty big boots to fill" the results showed "the strength in depth" the British team enjoys.
She started the final discipline of the omnium in second place but led going into the final sprint.
However, she was too tired to contest the finale and admitted that she was "lucky" to win after Belgium's Kopecky was half a wheel from claiming the second place she needed to take the title.
Britain also won the men's and women's team pursuit titles and women's madison gold over the weekend to top the medal table at the first World Cup event of the new Olympic cycle.
The second of this season's four events takes place next week in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.

Two people have been killed following an explosion at a Cardiff steelworks.

The blast happened in the basement of Celsa Steel UK on East Moors Road in Splott at 10:30 GMT on Wednesday.
Four others were injured and taken to the city's University Hospital of Wales while a fifth was treated at the scene.
A spokeswoman for Celsa said thoughts were with the dead workers's families and it was working with the police and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to find out what happened.
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "My thoughts are with those affected by today's explosion at Celsa plant in Cardiff. We have been in touch to offer any help we can."
Eyewitnesses told BBC News of the moment the explosion happened - with some feeling the blast from half a mile away. Many saw thick black smoke billowing across the site.
Rob Edwards from the union Community said the explosion happened in an oil accumulator in the rod and bar mill.
Keith Dunn, chief executive of St John Cymru Wales, which trains first-aiders at the plant said: "I was interviewing some staff this morning and we heard a loud bang. The building and the windows shook."
Mr Dunn added: "Obviously our thoughts are with them and we will be making contact with the company to see if we can offer assistance."
Another witness, Jordan Willis, said he heard a "bang" and "felt the explosion through the floor".
Martin Davies, who works near the site, recalled hearing "one hell of a bang".
His colleague Peter Sestanovich said: "We heard a big bang and a rumble through the floor and we saw black smoke billowing over the top of buildings."
Lee Canning, director at a delivery firm on East Moors Road, added: "It sounded like a car bomb, to be honest with you."
Helen Vernon, who works at nearby Busy Bee's nursery, said: "I went outside and a PCSO (Police Community Support Officer) said there's been a big explosion. That's all they could tell me.
"We heard this really loud bang. A colleague of mine, who was in the staff room, told me the ceiling shook."
Eight appliances from South Wales Fire and Rescue attended, along with several ambulances.
The site was evacuated and the injured were treated at the scene or taken to hospital.
Two people were initially unaccounted for and a specialist police search unit was brought in.
Shortly before 17:00 GMT the bodies of two workers were discovered.
Supt Stephen Jones said: "We've informed the families and are continuing to support them at this difficult time.
"Our priority at this moment in time is to recover the victims, support their families and carry out an investigation to find out what's occurred here today."
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the steelworkers' union Community, said: "This is absolutely tragic news and our immediate thoughts are with the families and colleagues of those who died and those who were injured.
"Lessons will need to be learnt from what happened so that this cannot happen again but for today we should be focused on supporting everybody affected."
First Minister Carwyn Jones said he was "deeply saddened" at the news and commended the work of the emergency services.
Secretary of State for Wales Stephen Crabb said it had been a "truly devastating day" and the incident had "touched us all".
A spokeswoman for Celsa said: "It is with great sadness that we can confirm that two colleagues have passed away and four have sustained minor injuries.
"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with those affected and their families, who have been informed."
She went on: "As soon as the incident occurred, we immediately implemented our emergency protocols and we are working closely with the relevant authorities to investigate the exact causes. Operations have been suspended and the fire services have confirmed that the mill is safe.
"Safety is our paramount concern at all of our facilities and the wellbeing of our colleagues is our number one priority."
Last year three workers from the plant were taken to hospital with burns.
Celsa directly employs 725 people at its Cardiff site and supports around 3,000 jobs.


The Chilean general who led an army death squad in the aftermath of the 1973 military coup has died  aged 94.

Gen Sergio Arellano Stark was the commander of the infamous "Caravan of Death", responsible for the killing of at least 75 political prisoners.
The army unit took opponents of Gen Pinochet's regime from jails and executed them by firing squad.
The squad spent two months flying between Santiago and the north of Chile on the orders of Pinochet.
The country's military leader was reportedly annoyed that some commanders in provincial towns had been "soft" on political opponents.
Arellano and seven other army officials were sentenced in 2008 to six years in prison for their crimes.
But Arellano was spared jail because he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
He died peacefully in a nursing home in the early hours of Wednesday.
According to official figures, 40,018 people were victims of human rights abuses between 1973 and 1990 and 3,065 were killed or disappeared.
The democratically-elected socialist President, Salvador Allende, was killed inside the presidential palace during the coup on 11 September 1973.
Pinochet stepped down in 1990 but retained the post of commander-in-chief of the army for another eight years.
He was arrested months later during an unofficial visit to London, after an extradition request from Spain.
Pinochet was allowed to return to Chile in 2000, but in 2002 the Supreme Court ruled that he was mentally unfit to stand trial for his crimes. He died in 2006, aged 91.


Bosnia will next week ask the UN's top court to review its ruling which cleared Serbia of genocide in the 1990s, Bosnia's Muslim leader has said.

Bakir Izetbegovic, a member of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, said the appeal would be launched before a 10-year deadline expired on 26 February.
Bosnian Serb officials warned the move would trigger a new political crisis.
In 2007, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) cleared Serbia of direct responsibility for genocide.
The ICJ found only one act of genocide during Bosnia's 1992-95 war - the massacre of about 8,000 Bosnian Muslim (Bosniak) men and boys by Bosnian Serb forces in the town of Srebrenica in 1995.
It was Europe's worst atrocity since World War Two.
The ICJ also ruled that Serbia had violated international law by failing to prevent the killings.
On Friday, Mr Izetbegovic said the appeal would be submitted by Bosnia-Herzegovina's legal representative.
"Everyone needs the truth, even those who oppose it, a truth that will be written by international judges, experienced and impartial," he said.
But Bosnian Serb officials said such a move could not be made without consensus within the country's presidency, where a Bosnian Serb and a Bosnian Croat take the other two seats.
Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik also urged ethnic Serb politicians to challenge the legitimacy of any appeal.
In Serbia, Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic described Mr Izetbegovic's announcement as "bad" for relations between the two countries.
Politicians from Bosnia's two semi-independent entities - the Muslim-Croat Federation and the Republika Srpska - have often clashed, triggering political crises.
The powers of the central government in the capital Sarajevo are very limited.


A 14-year-old boy who was spotted driving himself to school was reported to police, a force said.

Northumbria Police said the boy was seen driving a blue Renault Clio in South Shields at 10:10 GMT.
A force spokesman said they found the car parked in a lay-by near Temple Park Road and seized it for not having insurance.
In a tweet, the force's roads unit said the boy "denied all knowledge but forgot his books were in the boot".
The spokesman said: "The male teenager has been spoken to by officers and inquiries into the incident are ongoing."


Kilmarnock made it back-to-back wins for the first time since January as they came from behind to beat St Johnstone.

David Wotherspoon gave Saints the lead on the rebound from a Graham Cummins header that had hit the post.
Josh Magennis levelled before the break as Killie recovered.
Rory McKenzie's cross deflected off Brian Easton and deceived Alan Mannus to put Killie ahead and they held on for a maiden home win of the season.
The Rugby Park side draw level on points with seventh-place Saints, who must pick themselves up for a Scottish League Cup tie at Rangers on Tuesday.
Killie and Saints were chasing their first home and away wins of the campaign, respectively.
And after last week's morale-boosting Tannadice triumph over Dundee United, Gary Locke sent the same team out again, resisting the temptation to throw in new signing Conrad Balatoni.
Last week's hat-trick hero Steven MacLean was forced to sit out the match on the artificial surface with John Sutton plugging the gap up front for St Johnstone.
Kilmarnock have toiled at times on their own patch and have twice been bludgeoned at home this season. Dundee and Ross County both left Killie licking their wounds with 4-0 butcherings.
The match opened in quiet and even fashion with Saints striker Cummins claiming he had been hauled down just inside the box but referee Willie Collum was not interested.
The visitors did not have to wait long to get in front, however.
After excellent play by Liam Craig, Easton crossed for Cummins, whose header beat Jamie MacDonald and rebounded off the post allowing the on-hand Wotherspoon to slot home.
It was just Wotherspoon's second goal in more than two years.
Saints had been the better team and looked the more dangerous; despite Killie seeing more of the ball they struggled to break down their visitors' defence.
As the match drew closer to the interval, the hosts began to grab the game by the scruff of the neck.
Killie's best bet appeared to be in the wide areas and it was from there they would level proceedings.
Greg Kiltie exhibited what he can do with a superb cross for Magennis, who stretched his neck to loop a header past Mannus and equalise.
Killie had won just one of the previous 15 meetings with Saints and it was Magennis who scored both that day.
While Killie lost Daryl Westlake to injury in the first half, Darnell Fisher was withdrawn at the interval for Saints with Mark O'Hara and Steven Anderson the respective replacements.
MacDonald has been inspirational for Kilmarnock this season and one of Locke's worst nightmares became reality when an early second-half collision saw him succumb to the injury.
Ulsterman Conor Brennan replaced him at the end of a week that saw him recalled from a loan at Stranraer after fellow keeper Devlin McKay left for Derby County.
However, it was his opposite number Mannus who was left watching in horror as Killie turned the game on its head.
McKenzie's cross from the touchline nicked off Easton and looped over the Northern Irishman.
The St Johnstone supporters would look on aghast again moments later when Michael O'Halloran was denied by an excellent last-ditch challenge by Lee Ashcroft.
The hosts looked re-born from the toiling side of early-season and McKenzie almost made it three - Mannus saving at his feet when one-on-one and Kallum Higginbotham's effort on the rebound bouncing off the left-hand post.
Saints pushed for a leveller and Brennan held on to a late Wotherspoon deflected effort.

Bank giant HSBC has reported a 19% fall in profits for the first three months of 2017 as it bids to restore flagging revenues after a restructuring.

But the fall in profits to $5bn (Â£3.9bn) beat analysts' forecasts, and HSBC's shares rose 3%.
The lower profits were due mainly to accounting changes, while the results last year included proceeds from the sale of its Brazilian business.
Chief executive Stuart Gulliver called the figures a "good set of results".
Revenues for quarter rose to $12.84bn from $12.57bn, while adjusted pre-tax profit - which excludes one-off items - rose to $5.94bn from $5.3bn a year earlier.
The figures are the first since Europe's largest bank announced the appointment of a new chairman in March. The move was part of a management overhaul that will also see HSBC choose a new chief executive.
Following a big drop in profits in 2015, HSBC embarked on a restructuring that led to thousands of job cuts, branch closures, asset sales, and a bigger focus on Asia.
Analyst Jackson Wong, from Huarong International Securities, said the figures showed a marked improvement.
"They cleaned up a lot of bad things in the last quarter of last year so this quarter, everything looks pretty decent, even the cost-cutting is on track," he said.
Mr Gulliver said in Thursday's statement that 2017 would see the completion of strategic measures announced in 2015, including the removal of low-return risky assets.
"Our cost-saving programme remains on track to hit the higher cost-saving target we announced at our annual results," he added.
"Our pivot to Asia continues. We increased advances to customers and grew mortgages and business lending... all three of our North American businesses delivered material increases in profit before tax."
Briton Mark Tucker, currently group chief executive and president of insurance group AIA, will take over as chairman from Douglas Flint in October.
One of Mr Tucker's first jobs will be to lead the hunt for a replacement for Mr Gulliver, due to retire in 2018.


Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has ordered his officials to develop nuclear-powered ships, accusing the United States of violating last year's international nuclear deal.

World powers had agreed to lift sanctions in exchange for curbs to Iran's nuclear programme.
But Congress recently voted to extend its laws regarding sanctions on Iran.
President Barack Obama is expected to sign the laws, but says they will not affect the international agreement.
He insists the White House will continue to suspend all the sanctions linked to Iran's nuclear programme.
In a statement, Mr Rouhani criticised the Congress move as a breach of the accord and said he had asked his officials to start work on "planning the design and production of nuclear fuel and reactors for maritime transport."
He also says Iran will make a legal complaint to the committee overseeing the agreement.
In his presidential campaign, Donald Trump, now president-elect, threatened to scrap the Iran deal altogether, but it is unclear what his policy will be.
Iran has raised the possibility of building nuclear-powered ships before, at the height of tensions with the international community over its nuclear programme.
But analysts say it will be an extremely costly effort without strategic gain.


The body of Irish student Karen Buckley, who was murdered in Glasgow earlier this month, has been brought home to County Cork.

The remains were accompanied by Karen's parents and brothers on a special flight from Glasgow.
Ms Buckley's funeral will take place in the north Cork village of Mourneabbey on Tuesday afternoon.
The qualified nurse moved to Glasgow in February to study occupational therapy at Glasgow Caledonian University.
She went missing following a night out at the Sanctuary nightclub in Glasgow's west end on 11 April.
Her body was later found by police at High Craigton Farm, Drymen.
Alexander Pacteau, 21, from Glasgow, has appeared in court charged with Ms Buckley's murder.
