Moussa Dembele scored a hat-trick as Celtic hammered Rangers in their first league derby for four years.

He rose above a static defence to head in from a corner then pounced on a Rob Kiernan mistake with a deft finish.
Joe Garner headed a reply before the break, but Dembele set up Scott Sinclair for a finish off a post.
Rangers' Philippe Senderos was sent off after a handball led to a second yellow card, before Dembele and Stuart Armstrong exposed the 10 men.
Victory lifts Brendan Rodgers' Scottish Premiership leaders - and reigning champions - four points clear of their city rivals, who started the day in second place, with a game in hand.
Mark Warburton's visitors, who won the Championship title last season, rarely looked like rescuing even a point once Dembele, the summer arrival from Fulham having started in place of the injured Leigh Griffiths, opened the scoring after a fairly even first 33 minutes.
The French striker thus became the first player to score a hat-trick in an Old Firm league derby for 50 years.
This dominant performance sets Celtic up nicely for Tuesday's opening Champions League group game against Barcelona.
To lose a striker of Griffiths' quality - he will not play in Barcelona either - was a blow for Celtic. The job of leading the line fell to young Dembele, playing in his first Old Firm game at the age of 20.
Dembele was utterly magnificent. A close-range header from a Sinclair corner for the first, gorgeous composure when cutting inside Senderos and coolly beating goalkeeper Wes Foderingham with the outside of his right boot for the second - and then a precise pass to Sinclair for the third.
A Celtic star was born, but he completed the hat-trick just to reinforce the legend, the first by a Celtic player in an Old Firm league match since Stevie Chalmers half a century ago.
Mikael Lustig's cross dipped over the head of Joey Barton - in the midst of the crisis, the midfielder went back to centre-half - and Dembele smashed home Celtic's fourth.
The Scott Brown versus Barton dynamic was a major part of the build-up. The first significant clash between the pair of them was won, critically, by Brown when the Celtic captain came out on top in an aerial battle that led to a Sinclair attack that brought a corner and the opening goal for Dembele.
A free header from such close-range was dreadful defending from Rangers - and it got worse. Kiernan gifted the ball to Tom Rogic in the preamble to the second goal and they were sliced open again for the third.
Celtic are too clever and too ruthless to look such gift horses in the mouth.
Senderos' 75th-minute red card was another illustration of Rangers' travails. David Weir, Rangers' assistant manager, was sent to the stand soon after.
Psychologically, they were gone by then, on and off the pitch. Out-classed - and how Celtic Park basked in it.
Celtic had chances to add to their goal tally. Foderingham saved from Armstrong, who was terrific when he came on, and saved again from Dembele.
Brown went off to a rousing ovation after a performance that might have Barton recalibrating his opinion of him.
The fourth eventually came - and it was a historic moment for Dembele. The fifth, a neat finish from Armstrong, brought further joy for Celtic and more humiliation for their visitors.
One way traffic and a giant chasm between these sides.

The Tornado base at RAF Marham in Norfolk threatened with closure under the government's defence review will stay open, it has been announced.

The government had been looking at either closing the Tornado bases of RAF Lossiemouth in Moray or RAF Marham in Norfolk.
Tornado operations were to be relocated to the base remaining open.
But the government has decided to keep both operational.
But RAF Leuchars will close and become an army base, with its Typhoons leaving for Lossiemouth in 2013 and the army starting to move in later.
Concern over RAF Marham's future prompted a major campaign to save the base by councils, MPs and business leaders in Norfolk.
South West Norfolk MP Elizabeth Truss, a campaigner to save RAF Marham, said: "I am absolutely delighted.
"The campaign was not just based on a simple fondness for the RAF, it was founded on sound economic and strategic principles and I believe that resulted in the decisive decision to make it Marham."
In the House of Commons, Defence Secretary Liam Fox praised the work of Ms Truss in the fight to save RAF Marham.
Broadland MP Keith Simpson said: "This is excellent news for the RAF and defence of the country and a relief for people of Marham and Norfolk."


Bury have confirmed ex-Celtic and England midfielder Alan Thompson as new manager Lee Clark's assistant boss.

Thompson, 43, has worked alongside Clark at Birmingham and Blackpool.
"He has a great knowledge of the game and, coupled with the staff who are already here, I am looking forward to working with them all," said Clark.
Saturday's 2-1 win at Chesterfield was Clark's first game in charge after he left Scottish club Kilmarnock to join League One Bury on Wednesday.


Ronny Deila admitted Celtic "didn't do anything right" as they dropped two points to Dundee and saw their lead cut at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

The visitors were worthy of a point and almost won the game late on, prompting home fans to boo the players off.
"It was a poor performance from start to finish all over the pitch," said Deila after a second successive draw.
"We looked slow and were always a metre late. It is about getting energy back. It seemed they had flat batteries."
With Aberdeen beating Dundee United 1-0 at Tannadice, Celtic's grip on the championship lessened slightly.

Supporters were more dismayed with the level of the performance, with Charlie Mulgrew coming closest to scoring in the second half, only for Scott Bain to push the ball away.
"The performance was not good enough," Deila admitted. "Everybody in the dressing room agrees with that.
"It is my responsibility to lift everyone as a group and get strong again.  We need to get back on track on Sunday. [against Greenock Morton in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals]."
Deila insists, though, he remains the right man for Celtic in the long term and that the title is still Celtic's to win.
"I believe that we can turn this around," he said. "Everybody goes through hard periods, but still we are top and we're going to bounce back again and win this league."
Dundee manager Paul Hartley praised his players for their work rate and application, having sent them out in an unfamiliar 3-5-2 shape.
They grew in stature as the game progressed, with Juilen Extabeguren, Paul McGinn, Paul McGowan, Nick Ross, Cammy Kerr and Craig Wighton all impressing.
The point, and the performance, will also provide further confidence ahead of Saturday's trip to Ibrox to face Rangers in their Scottish Cup quarter-final.
"The game plan worked well," Hartley said. "We changed our system and went to a back three with two wing-backs, and we took the game to Celtic.
"[The players were] outstanding, a magnificent bunch to work with. We only sprung that system on them yesterday, but they took it on board and I felt we had a real team performance. We outfought Celtic.
"It's a massive game for us on Saturday, we're up against a good Rangers team, but it's one that we will go and try to do well in."


A teacher has been struck off for pretending to a be a 13-year-old girl and making false sex abuse claims against her former head teacher.

Eleri Edwards, 32, made 10 allegations to ChildLine claiming she was a pupil at Ysgol Ardudwy in Harlech, Gwynedd.
A disciplinary hearing in Cardiff heard she told the charity Tudur Williams touched her inappropriately.
Ms Edwards was struck off indefinitely on Friday.
The hearing was told Mr Williams was "devastated" when Ms Edwards, who taught under the name Eleri Roberts, made the allegations via the charity's website after she was dismissed from his school.
Police interviewed Mr Williams, but investigations led to them concluding it was a hoax.
Detectives traced the reports to Ms Edward's computer and she was cautioned.
Ms Edwards was employed at a high school 55 miles (88km) away at Llanidloes, Powys, when she made the bogus claims. She has since left the school.
She told the hearing: "I was a good teacher and I'm honest. I apologise to Tudur Williams. He continued to work after the allegations which makes him a credit to his profession."
Richard Parry Jones, chairman of the professional conduct committee of the Education Workforce Council, said: "The nature of her conduct was too serious to consider a temporary order.
"She has failed to act with honesty or integrity and her conduct has breached key principles set out for registered teachers."
Speaking after the hearing, Mr Williams said: "She obviously decided to try to take her revenge on me personally.
"What she did was inexcusable and could have had a devastating effect on me personally and my career."


About 30 black students were ejected from a rally at their university for US Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump at his request, one of the students has told the BBC.

Mike Sanders, a student at Georgia's Valdosta State University, said police officers told them the Secret Service had said "Trump doesn't want us there".
A spokeswoman for Mr Trump denied that he had requested their removal.
It comes after Mr Trump refused to disavow a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) leader.
The former leader of the white supremacist KKK, David Duke, had stated his support for Mr Trump.
The billionaire candidate, who is leading the field for the Republican presidential nomination, said at the weekend that he knew nothing about Mr Duke or white supremacists.
He later blamed a faulty earpiece for his comments.
The students at Valdosta said they were gathered peacefully at the rally on Monday, which took place ahead of Georgia's Republican primary.
"We weren't there to cause anyone harm or any trouble," Mike Sanders told the BBC.
"Shortly after we arrived there, police officers escorted us out of the venue. They took us downstairs, down a narrow staircase, and tried to force us out of the building.
"One person from our group tried to find out why we were forced to leave, but they said they would tell us outside. Once outside, they tried to move us further away. They said it was a private event, but we had tickets.
"Then, the police officers said the Secret Service had told them 'Trump doesn't want us there'. It was a very traumatising experience. Many of the people in our group were crying and confused," added Mr Sanders, who also posted a video of the incident.
The video footage does not make clear what led to the students being asked to leave. It shows some of the students arguing with police as they leave.
More video footage published by the Des Moines Register newspaper appeared to show students in tears over the incident.
Asked whether Mr Trump had requested the students' removal, his spokeswoman Hope Hicks said "there is no truth to this whatsoever".
She added that his campaign had "no knowledge of this incident".
Another student, 19-year-old Tahjila Davis, was quoted by local media as saying: "We didn't plan to do anything...They said, 'This is Trump's property; it's a private event.' But I paid my tuition to be here.
"I don't understand why they would do something like that," she said. "I have not experienced any racism on this campus until now."
Earlier on Monday, a group of black students were ejected from another Trump rally, on the campus of Radford University in Virginia, after they began chanting: "No more hate! No more hate! Let's be equal, let's be great!"
While they were leaving the building, a Secret Service agent was captured on camera throwing a photographer to the ground by his neck. Footage of the incident appeared to show the photographer swearing at the agent after he was blocked from moving to a better position.
The two rallies took place the day before Super Tuesday, a watershed day in the Republican race when 11 states hold primary contests, including a collection of southern states.


West Ham United marked their departure from Upton Park after 112 years with a thrilling victory that may have ended Manchester United's chances of Champions League qualification.

Louis van Gaal's side knew victory here and at home to Bournemouth this weekend would secure a top-four place - but this loss means Manchester City are two points clear of them going into their final game at Swansea City.
The visitors' team coach arrived late and was attacked by Hammers fans as it made its way into the stadium, causing the kick-off to be delayed.
When the action got under way West Ham dominated and should have led by more than Diafra Sakho's goal at the break.
Antony Martial turned the game on its head and had Manchester United in charge with only 18 minutes remaining, first ending a sweeping move then beating Darren Randolph at his near post to put the visitors ahead.
West Ham, however, were not to be denied and two towering headers in the space of four minutes from Michail Antonio and Winston Reid gave them the victory they richly deserved.

Manchester United had their fate in their own hands knowing two victories - here and at home to Bournemouth on Sunday - would assure Champions League football next season.
It was typical of their misfiring season that they squandered this chance with a performance that was for the most part lifeless, only lifted above mediocrity by the brilliance of Martial.
United may have been affected by that late arrival and the delayed kick-off, but their first 45 minutes fell well short of what was needed given how high the stakes were. It was only down to West Ham's generosity in front of goal that Van Gaal's side were only 1-0 down at the interval.
And when, against the run of play and thanks to Martial's excellence, they found themselves ahead with 18 minutes left they were still not good enough to make it count.
The hosts finally took their chances and scored twice in four minutes to once again reveal the flaws in this fragile Manchester United side.
First, Antonio rose high to power home Payet's cross before Reid headed in another delivery from the Frenchman, though David de Gea got a strong hand to it and should have kept it out.

There were disgraceful scenes outside Upton Park when the late arrival of Manchester United's team bus was greeted by a mass of West Ham fans who threw bottles at the bus and caused damage.
Inside, the old stadium staged one last hurrah that demonstrated the support and hostility that make it such a special arena - and showed why West Ham will find it almost impossible to recreate this potent combination at the Olympic Stadium.
There were moving scenes before kick-off as a band played Abide With Me as the names and faces of West Ham's departed greats flashed up on the big screens, with the greatest applause inevitably being reserved - at its conclusion - for England World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore.
The game itself was played out in a cauldron, a cacophony of noise resounding around Upton Park for the entirety of a thrilling game.
There were some moments when those inside did not cover themselves in glory, keeping the ball from visiting goalkeeper De Gea, which ironically led to the move that brought Martial's equaliser and then when a fan emerged from the Bobby Moore Stand and got close to the Spain goalkeeper, taunting him before he was dragged away by stewards.

The Hammers wanted to end the Upton Park era with a performance worthy of the old place - and they went out with a bang, producing an outstanding display which hinted at rich promise for what lies ahead.
Slaven Bilic's side dominated for long spells, playing exciting, fluent football that provided a constant threat.
The Croatian may not have been West Ham's first choice but he has proved charismatic, astute and someone with a sure touch when it comes to knowing what this club means and demands.
He was in touch with the emotions of the occasion in the closing moments, tie and jacket discarded as he inspired his team to victory, looking almost moved to tears at the end.
West Ham remain on course for the Europa League at the end of a fine season - a deserved reward to take to the Olympic Stadium.
West Ham are still in the hunt for a fifth-place finish. They are one point behind Manchester United and travel to Stoke on Sunday. Manchester United, meanwhile, host Bournemouth and must win to have a chance of finishing in the top four.

Floyd Mayweather says his fight with Conor McGregor in Las Vegas on 26 August "won't go the distance".

Mayweather, 40, has won all 49 of his professional bouts, but has not boxed since September 2015 and came out of retirement to fight the Irishman.
The 29-year-old mixed martial arts fighter has not boxed professionally.
"He's looking forward to ending the fight early, I'm looking forward to ending the fight early - it won't go the distance," said Mayweather.
The American, whose last fight was a points victory over Andre Berto, said he will be doing his "homework" on McGregor, a two-weight world champion in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
"It's not really watching fight tapes, it's about knowing the person you're facing across the ring from you," added Mayweather.
"You want to know what they like to eat, what they're doing when they're not in camp."
Britain's Nathan Cleverly will feature on the undercard of the Mayweather-McGregor bout, as the 30-year-old Welshman will aim to make the first defence of his WBA light-heavyweight title against Sweden's Badou Jack.


Both Florida and Haiti have been pounded by one of the strongest hurricanes to hit the Caribbean in a decade.

The extent of damage so far in Haiti has been catastrophic. In Florida, it remains to be seen how much the state will be affected.
Both locations are likely to have dramatically different responses to the storm. How were they each prepared and how will they cope?
In Florida, there have been mass evacuations of the coastal areas. Millions of people were urged to leave their homes in the southern US states. In some areas traffic was rerouted to allow people to escape. Residents stocked up on food, water and petrol, causing long queues at fuel stations. Many residents also shored up their homes with shutters and plywood boards.
In Haiti, preparedness was difficult as the country is fragile and vulnerable to disasters. But evacuations were ordered for some high-risk areas, including in outlying islands where people were brought to safety by boat. Since the earthquake in 2010, the country has also been hit by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. It also suffered a drought. Infrastructure is poor in rural areas, making it difficult for the local population to prepare for such a large-scale disaster.
Tom Newby from the emergency response team at Care International UK said that since 2010, many NGOs have been working to help Haitian NGOs deal with emergencies. In small emergencies, local officials have been able to manage a disaster response effectively. But the scale of this emergency has overwhelmed their capacity.
In Florida, Governor Rick Scott said 600,000 people were without power. But Florida Power and Light, the largest energy provider in the state, said they already had 15,000 people in place to respond to the power cuts. The state opened 147 shelters for more than 22,300 people during the storm.
In Haiti, emergency rescue teams have struggled to reach the hardest hit areas. In the city of Jeremie, 80% of buildings were levelled and 30,000 homes destroyed in Sud province.
Care International says the city of Jacmel is also badly affected. The number of people in shelters increased from 2,700 to 4,000 in one day.
In Florida, the extent of the damage is still unclear, but hundreds of thousands, if not millions are expected to lose power. Homes may also be destroyed.
In Haiti, hundreds of people have been killed as a result of the storm and aid agencies are warning of a possible cholera epidemic.
Care International's country director in Haiti says three people have already been infected. People also face an immediate food crisis as the storm wiped out many Haitians' food reserves and crops.
The Red Cross has estimated more than one million were affected and the UN says some 350,000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
Mr Newby said: "The level of destruction is similar to the destruction after the earthquake, but on a much smaller scale. It is comparable in terms of local severity but not in numbers."
In Florida, Governor Rick Scott has strongly advised residents to evacuate and take shelter. President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency in Florida and has released federal funds.
In Haiti, the government has been slow to respond, leaving many affected residents to fend for themselves. Many Haitians have been angered and frustrated. Some international NGOs are already on the ground in Haiti working to provide food, shelter, and water to local residents. US military personnel are expected to deliver food and water to the worst affected areas in several helicopters.


A World War One centenary project is asking for photographs of Egypt and Palestine from 1914 to 1918.

The Cardiff University initiative hopes to highlight the experiences of soldiers who served in the Middle East during the conflict.
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, it will display the images collected from the public on a website.
It aims to "reveal the often-overlooked Middle Eastern front in a way not seen before".
Professor Paul Nicholson, from Cardiff University, said: "Egypt and Palestine in the First World War are often overshadowed by the Western Front, but they are important areas and this project seeks to make them better known."
More than 2.5 million British troops served in the Middle Eastern theatre during World War One.
The 'British views of an antique land' project will begin with a collection road show at the Firing Line Museum in Cardiff Castle at the weekend.
Further shows are planned for 11 and 12 July, at the Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh in Brecon, Powys.


Sir John Hurt and June Whitfield have been honoured with top awards at a ceremony celebrating audio drama.

Sir John won the outstanding contribution accolade at the BBC's Audio Drama awards in London on Sunday.
Among the work for which he was recognised was a Radio 4 adaptation of War and Peace and also the station's version of Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell.
Whitfield meanwhile  won the lifetime achievement award for more than 70 years in radio drama and comedy.
The annual event, held in the Radio Theatre at BBC Broadcasting House, recognises the cultural significance, range and originality of audio drama.
The awards include drama performed online, as well as on radio.
They also give credit to the creativity of the actors, writers, producers, sound designers and others who work within the field.
On receiving his award, Sir John, said: "I like working in radio drama because one is using what is fast becoming the actors' forgotten weapon - the voice."
The 76-year-old is one of Britain's most venerated actors whose career in film, TV and in radio has spanned more than six decades.
Outside radio, his best-known roles include his Oscar-nominated performances in The Elephant Man and The Midnight Express and as Quentin Crisp in the 1975 ITV drama The Naked Civil Servant.
June Whitfield was being recognised at the BBC awards for an entire radio career that began in the 1940s.
The actress, who has now become best-known for the TV comedies Terry and June and Absolutely Fabulous, first found fame on radio in the BBC comedy Take It From Here.
She said: "I'm absolutely delighted to have received this lifetime achievement award.
"It really does feel like a lifetime - I first worked for BBC radio in the 1940s. Thank you so much BBC for this much-appreciated award."
Others to be honoured included Alfred Molina, who was named best actor for his performance in Radio 3's A View from the Bridge, while Monica Dolan won the best actress prize for her part in Radio 4's Vincent in Brixton.
In the best supporting actor/actress category, Susan Wokoma won for Radio 4's Three Strong Women.
Karen Bartke won the best debut performance award for her role in My Name Is… on Radio 4.
Playwright Charlene James also took home the award for best original single drama for the Radio 4 version of her play Cutting It.
The play also previously won the George Devine playwriting prize in 2015 and the Alfred Fagon award in 2014.
Actor and comedian Sir Lenny Henry, who hosted the event, said: "I'm honoured to have once again presented the BBC Audio Drama Awards, which showcase outstanding work by a diverse group of talented writers and creators.
"We should be proud of the range of excellence that the industry attracts, and produces, and it's great that this year's awards include both classic plays and innovative dramas reflecting modern Britain.
"Long may it continue."


A University of Leeds PhD student is heading to California to study what have been termed "zombie worms".

Nick Higgs is jetting off to study the mysterious Osedax worms which eat bones and mainly live off the skeletons of whales deep on the ocean floor.
They are just one of a range of creatures that make their home around the carcasses of the giant mammals, in communities known as "whale falls".
Mr Higgs will join the research trip led by senior scientist Robert Vrijenhoek of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
He will take part in a week-long cruise in which they will survey four whale falls - three artificial and one natural.
By studying the worms, scientists hope to learn more about these communities evolved.
Whale falls occur when a whale dies in the deep ocean and sinks to the sea floor. Unlike whales that die in shallow waters (less than 200m deep), whose carcasses are quickly devoured by scavengers, the whale carcasses in the deep oceans can provide a feast for a complex community of organisms.
Species found around whale falls range from clams and shrimp to larger creatures like octopuses, lobsters and even sharks.
Osedax worms were not discovered until 2002 when they were observed living on the bones of a decaying grey whale in Monterey Bay, California.
The worms, named after the Latin osedax or "bone-eating", are commonly called bone worms or zombie worms because of their strange feeding practices.
Even though the worms have no mouth or stomach, they are able to burrow into the solid bone to feed and can eventually destroy an entire whale skeleton, leaving virtually no trace of the fossil record.
Nick is particularly interested in how they bore into the bone: "Because Osedax worms were only discovered a few years ago, there's still an awful lot we don't know about them.
"For example, different species of worm appear to like different parts of the bone, with some staying around the surface and others burrowing deep into the middle.
"I can also use CT scans to generate a 3D image of the bore holes and what they look like from the inside. Armed with this information, I hope to explore fossilized whale bones to see if I can find traces of this bone-eating worm in the fossil record."
Researchers rarely stumble across natural whale falls so a lot of the communities they study are from whales that have died through beaching, which they then take back out to sea and artificially 'sink'.
They will use submersible robots fitted with cameras to observe the communities surrounding the whales and may collect samples to study back in the lab.


Louis Oosthuizen shot a seven-under-par 65 to share the first-round lead at the Qatar Masters with Pablo Larrazabal.

The 33-year-old South African, who has won his first event of the calendar year in four of the last five years, carded seven birdies at Doha Golf Club.
Spaniard Larrazabal, 32, also made seven birdies in a bogey-free round.
Andrew Johnston is a shot off the lead following a round of 66, with fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood and Scot Paul Lawrie both on five under.
Defending champion Branden Grace from South Africa and 2014 winner Sergio Garcia from Spain both shot 70s.


Venezuela's Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez has said the armed forces are determined to find out what happened with 28 gold miners reported to have been killed.

Relatives say the miners have been missing since Friday.
They fear they may have been killed by a gang trying to take control of a wildcat mine near the town of Tumeremo.
The reports were initially dismissed by the local governor, who accused the opposition of stirring up trouble.
"So far there's not any indication of any person killed or missing," said Bolivar state Governor Francisco Rangel of the governing socialist PSUV party on Monday.
"What happened there, according to the security forces, was another clash between armed gangs that are trying to control mining activities in the area," added Mr Rangel.
Venezuelan air force troops have been searching for the bodies in the remote jungle area.
"We won't rest until we find those responsible for these acts, which in the eyes of all Venezuelans are abominable," said Mr Padrino.
The missing miners worked at the Atenas gold mine. Reports of their disappearance first emerged on Saturday when worried relatives reported that their loved ones had not returned from work.
The number of missing miners soon grew from two to 28.
The families blocked a road in Tumeremo to demand an investigation. With tempers running high at the roadblock, reports soon spread about a deadly stand-off at the mine.
Local media quoted "eyewitnesses" who said the discovery of a significant gold deposit had pitched the miners against members of a gang who wanted to lay their hands on the lucrative find.
The gang members allegedly opened fire on the miners and later forced the survivors to load the bodies onto a lorry.
There are conflicting reports as to where the bodies were taken, with some locals saying they were driven further into the mine and others alleging they were dismembered by chainsaw and disposed of on land belonging to the gang leader.
Opposition lawmaker Americo de Grazia accused Mr Rangel of trying to cover up the alleged massacre.
He compared Mr Rangel to the governor of the Mexican state of Guerrero, where 43 students disappeared in September 2014.


Anglesey could become home to Wales' largest solar farm if plans are agreed.

Countryside Renewables has submitted a planning application to develop 220 acres (89 hectares) of agricultural land at Llanbadrig.
Chartered surveyors ERW Consulting said the scheme could generate enough energy to power 15,500 houses a year, the equivalent of half of Anglesey's homes.
It said the carbon dioxide savings over 30 years would be equivalent to taking nearly 14,000 cars off the road.
The Welsh government has a target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 3% per year.


The family of an 81-year-old man said their lives have been "destroyed" after he died in hospital when a feeding tube was mistakenly connected to an intravenous drip.

A coroner concluded Alan Walker's death was accidental at Wrexham Maelor Hospital in January 2014.
He said it was "more likely than not" caused by a healthcare professional.
Mr Walker's granddaughter Sarah Hallam said the family hoped the "rare incident will never happen again".
John Gittins, coroner for north Wales, east and central, said he was satisfied that steps had been taken to prevent a repeat of the immediate problems that caused the death.
He concluded that the cause of death was toxic shock caused by the connection of a feeding tube to an intravenous drip point and "although it cannot be established with certainty, it's more likely than not that it was a health care professional who did so".
Ruthin Coroner's Court had heard traces of food from the feeding tube were found to have entered the intravenous line.
Earlier on Friday, nurse James Keats, who was working on the Cunliffe Ward on the night Mr Walker was taken ill, described the moment he noticed the mixed-up tubes.
"It's the sort of thing you never see," he told the inquest.
"I've never seen it. And there was a small moment when I panicked and thought 'oh my God!'"
He said he immediately summoned help but Mr Walker, of Leeswood, near Mold, Flintshire, died on 23 January.
Mr Keats was asked by David Pojur, counsel for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), which runs the hospital: "How obviously wrong is it that a health care professional would get it mixed up?"
"You just wouldn't entertain the idea to put the two together," he said.
The inquest heard on Thursday, that Mr Walker was recovering from an operation for cancer and had been admitted with a skin infection.
Despite initially being seriously ill, he had recovered and was expected to be released before he was struck down again on January 22.
Ms Hallam addressed BCUHB once the final evidence had been heard, saying: "I just don't want this to happen again.
"To you he was just a patient but to us we've lost a large part of our family. It's destroyed us."
In response, barrister Mr Pojur, for the health board, said what had happened "has weighed heavily" on the staff on the ward.
He said "we are very concerned" about what happened and described it as "a very sad situation".


China's Dalian Wanda has pulled out of a $1bn bid for the owner of the Golden Globe TV and film awards, according to the US firm's parent company.

A clampdown by the Chinese government on overseas investments is thought to be to blame.
Eldridge Industries, the owner of Dick Clark Productions which runs the Golden Globes, said Wanda had failed to "honour its contractual obligations".
It added Dick Clark Production was suing Wanda for funds it was owned.
Dalian Wanda is run by China's richest man and property magnate Wang Jianlin. The company has yet to comment on the issue.
The aborted deal was the latest in a number of entertainment acquisitions by the Chinese conglomerate, which already controls the AMC cinema chain, as well as Legendary Entertainment, co-producer of hit films including Godzilla and The Dark Knight Rises. The studio also has a tie-up with Sony Pictures.
The Dick Clark Productions deal would have marked the group's entry into television production.
However, analysts said capital controls meant Wanda had struggled to move money out of China.
Last year, the Chinese government put in place tougher restrictions to stop the outflow of money from the country.
It is concerned about the softening in the value of the yuan, a slowdown in growth and what it called "irrational investments".
The government wants companies to be more careful about the prices they are prepared to pay.
On Saturday, China's Commerce Minister Zhong Shan repeated the government's criticism of Chinese companies that were too quick to make overseas investments.
"We not only discourage these kinds of irrational investments, but we will also be keeping watch on them," he said.
Last year, Chinese firms went on a multi-billion dollar shopping spree, culminating in state-owned ChemChina making a $43bn bid for Swiss seed giant Syngenta.
Since then a $1bn financing deal between Paramount Pictures and two Chinese film companies Shanghai Film Group and Huahua Media has reportedly come to very little since it was announced in January.
Other deals have also reportedly run into trouble.
China's actions mark an about-turn in the authorities' attitude, since they previously urged companies to seek better returns and technological advances through overseas acquisitions.
But the slowdown in China's economic fortunes has made the government more cautious.
Last week, central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan blamed the foreign investment wave on "overheated emotions".


Spain's Alberto Contador opened up a 13-second lead over main rival Chris Froome in winning the first stage of the Criterium du Dauphine.

The Tinkoff rider finished the 4km time trial ascent of Mont Chery in the French Alps in 11 minutes, 36 seconds.
Australia's Richie Porte, riding for BMC Racing, was six seconds adrift, with Team Sky's Froome third.
Britain's Froome has won the race twice before - in 2013 and 2015 - both times going on to win the Tour de France.
He decided to go out early in the race against the clock because he was concerned it might rain later in the race.
"It was tough. I was running out of legs," he said before Contador and Porte had finished.
"I'm happy with that. Just the feeling makes me happy. I feel like I'm in  good shape. I still have some work to do and I hope to keep the momentum till the Tour de France."
Contador, also a two-time Tour winner (2007 and 2009), is yet to win the eight-stage, week-long Dauphine, but has twice finished second - in 2010 and 2014.
He said: "The climb suited me really well. It's a bit of a surprise to beat Froome and Porte but I knew that I could do well."
Britain's Adam Yates, who rides for Australian-based team Orica GreenEdge, finished eighth, 31 seconds behind Contador.
The three-week Tour de France starts on 2 July at Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy.
Stage one result:
1.  Alberto Contador (Spa/Tinkoff)               11mins 36secs
2.  Richie Porte (Aus/BMC Racing)            +6secs
3.  Chris Froome (GB/Team Sky)                +13secs

Two people have died after their car crashed and ended up in the Forth and Clyde canal in Glasgow.

They were the 21-year-old man driving the car and a 24-year-old woman passenger.
Another 25-year-old woman passenger is in a critical condition. A 25-year-old man is said to be stable in hospital. A 24-year-old man who was also in the car escaped serious injury.
Police said they do not believe any other vehicle was involved.
The Ford Focus crashed on Balmore Road in the Lambhill area to the north of the city at about 00:45 on Sunday.
Sgt Nicola Taylor of Police Scotland said: "Our inquires are continuing into the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident.
"It would appear that no other vehicle was involved and I would like to speak to anyone who either witnessed this crash or anyone who remembers seeing the vehicle travelling in Balmore Road just prior to the crash."


French police have detained a woman accused of defacing an iconic Delacroix painting, Liberty Leading The People, at a branch of the Louvre Museum.

She was held after being seen scrawling a graffiti tag on the painting, a Romantic masterpiece painted in 1830 to celebrate a French uprising.
The museum in the northern town of Lens said the work might easily be cleaned but would be examined by a restorer.
The Louvre Lens museum only opened in the former mining town in December.
The painting by Eugene Delacroix, which featured on the pre-euro, 100-franc French banknote and reportedly inspired the Statue of Liberty in New York, is being exhibited in Lens for a year.
French media quoted unnamed legal sources as saying the graffito was a clear reference to a 9/11 conspiracy theory.
The gallery remained closed to the public on Friday.
Just before closing time the previous day, a 28-year-old woman scrawled the 30cm (12in) graffito on the bottom of the painting and was immediately detained by a museum guard, France's 20 Minutes news website reported.
The work itself, which commemorates the July Revolution of 1830, measures 325cm by 260cm.
The mark may be "easily cleaned" but a restoration expert was being sent from the parent museum in Paris, the museum said in a statement.
No decision has yet been taken on whether the painting will have to be removed, the museum was quoted as saying by French broadcaster France 3.
The local prosecutor, Philippe Peyroux, told AFP news agency that the woman in custody appeared to be "unstable" and that he had requested a psychiatric examination.
He added that the woman, whose identity has not been released, had a "French-sounding name".


Hairdresser Ep Weatherhead has a business that is going places.

The owner of the first mobile barber's shop in Australia, from Tuesdays to Saturdays she parks her converted van at different locations across Sydney's beachside suburb of Maroubra.
Together with one part-time member of staff, she cuts the hair of 40 men and boys on an average day.
The business - called The Barber Van - was set up in 2011 with 60,000 Australian dollars ($46,000; Â£31,000) of investment. Ms Weatherhead, 46, says she now has up to 1,000 regular customers paying 25 Australian dollars for a haircut.
She maintains a timetable on her website, so that users can check where to find her on a particular morning or afternoon. And she has all the permits she needs from the local authority to allow her to park and run her business.
When Ms Weatherhead launched the mobile operation, she had been running a traditional bricks and mortar hairdresser salon for a number of years, but as the van quickly grew in popularity she closed the store to focus her efforts.
The Barber Van is part of a growing trend of Australian small firms hitting the road.
Led by the food sector, but now extending to other industries, more and more businesses are embracing the flexibility and significantly lower overheads that come from running their business on four wheels.
Andrew Ward, founder of Sydney-based massage business 3 Minute Angels, says that launching a mobile massage centre is the next logical step for his firm.
Set up in 2002, his trained masseurs are currently hired by businesses to provide massages in the workplace, or at events such as conferences and trade shows.
Mr Ward also says that running a massage van could enable people to enjoy a neck and back rub while enjoying a better view.
"I thought if you could look out over the beach or mountains whilst getting a massage - that would be an awesome personal experience," he says.
To help fund the van, which he plans to call The Divine Truck, he has launched a crowdfunding campaign, hoping to raise money from members of the people in exchange for them being the first to be able to use the service.
He aims to raise 10,000 Australian dollars, to which he will need to add up to 15,000 Australian dollars.
"Even at maximum cost of 25,000 Australian dollars the truck would be a business premises that is less than half the bond on a prime retail lease in Sydney that I was previously looking at," he says.
Mr Ward already has a hi-tech design for his van drawn up, including transparent plastic walls.
"I thought when people see other people getting a massage it will make them want one too," he says.
"Of course we have internal blinds, so if a customer doesn't want to look out, or have people look in, we can make any of the three transparent walls private."
Paul Sharp's travelling business - a museum called Shark in a Bus - is a labour of love.
Containing a varied collection of marine artefacts, the star of the show is a 5m-long (16ft) preserved great white shark called Frankie.
"It's my family collection," says Mr Sharp.
"Dad started collecting in the 1960s, and the exhibition has been displayed at various places. Before my father died he passed on the bulk of the collection to me. So I decided to re-interpret the display as a Shark in a Bus - a transportable museum."
Mr Sharp, who tours the museum around Australia, charges a five Australian dollar entry fee.
"Business is extremely variable," he says. "I have had anywhere between six to over 1,000 people through in a day. Last year... we had 15,000 people view the collection."
The voluntary sector in Australia has also caught the mobile bug, such as Orange Sky Laundry.
Launched in October of last year, the mobile laundry van provides free clothes washing for homeless people in Brisbane.
Founders and friends Nicholas Marchesi and Lucas Patchett have their own generator and arrange to source a water supply for free from either local businesses or a council.
Today, they have a team of 130 volunteers and average anywhere from 10 to 20 wash cycles per day across their two vans, each of which has a pair of washing machines and dryers.
Back at Ms Weatherhead's mobile hair salon, she cannot afford to secure water supplies for her van.
"We only do dry cuts," she explains. "If you had to wash hair you would require a clean water supply, waste water supply and a whole lot of other stuff. I have priced it and it would be prohibitive."
Yet despite the restrictions on what haircuts she can offer, she has plans to expand across Australia.
In the meantime she has secured a regular contract with the Royal Australian Navy to drive her van to three naval bases.
"This represents the growth I have been waiting for," she says.


US actress Erin Moran, best known for playing Joanie in 1970s sitcom Happy Days, has died, aged 56.

Police said an emergency team in Indiana responded to a call on Saturday afternoon and found her dead.
The cause is not yet known.
Moran also starred in the show's spin-off series Joanie Loves Chachi, which began in 1982. She played Joanie Cunningham, the younger sister of lead character Richie.
Richie was played by Ron Howard, who has been among those posting the first tributes online.
Henry Winkler, who played The Fonz in the series, also shared condolences on Twitter.
Moran joined the Happy Days cast in 1974 when she was 13.
She also made appearances in Murder She Wrote and The Waltons.
In recent years, she was reported to be living in an Indiana trailer park.
In 2010, she joined various Happy Days co-stars in filing a lawsuit against television network CBS, claiming they were owed money from merchandising revenues.
The suit was settled in 2012, with the actors each receiving a payout of $65,000 (£50,000).
They originally asked for $10m.


Small convoys of partially self-driving lorries will be tried out on major British roads by the end of next year, the government has announced.

A contract has been awarded to the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) to carry out the tests of vehicle "platoons".
Up to three lorries will travel in formation, with acceleration and braking controlled by the lead vehicle.
But the head of the AA said platoons raised safety concerns.
In the platoons, the lead vehicle will be controlled by a human driver and will communicate with the rest of the convoy wirelessly.
The following vehicles will be instructed to accelerate and brake by the lead vehicle, allowing the lorries to drive closer together than they could with human drivers.
Lorries driving close together could reduce air resistance for the following vehicles, as the front lorry pushes air out of the way.
This could lead to fuel efficiency savings for haulage companies, which Transport Minister Paul Maynard hopes will be passed on to consumers.
The following vehicles could also react more quickly to the lead lorry braking than human drivers can.
However, human drivers will still steer all the lorries in the convoy.
The TRL will begin trials of the technology on test tracks, but these trials are expected to move to major roads by the end of 2018.
The government has been promising such a project since at least 2014.
Last year, for example, it announced its intention to carry out platooning trials but was later frustrated after some European lorrymakers declined to participate.
A Department for Transport spokesman told the BBC that the experiments are now expected to go ahead as the contract had been awarded.
Will the platoon block motorists trying to leave or enter the motorway?
The TRL says it will carefully choose sections of motorway for its trials, taking the number of junctions and traffic into account. All the lorries will have drivers behind the wheel who will be able to take control and break up the convoy to let other drivers join or leave the motorway if there is an obstruction.
What happens if a car tries to squeeze between the lorries?
The platoon lorries will be able to drive more closely together than those driven exclusively by humans, so the gap between them might be uncomfortably close for a driver to try to squeeze into.  However, the TRL says its current strategy is to break up the convoy and let the human drivers take control, if a car squeezes in between the lorries.  The organisation is considering ways of informing other road users that the lorries are in a "self-driving" convoy.
How much fuel will a convoy actually save?
According to TRL, other trials have seen improvements in fuel economy of between 4% and 10%. A local trial will help determine the benefit platooning can deliver in the UK.
The TRL has announced its partners for the project:
Platooning has been tested in a number of countries around the world, including the US, Germany and Japan.
However, British roads present a unique challenge, said Edmund King, president of the AA.
"We all want to promote fuel efficiency and reduce congestion but we are not yet convinced that lorry platooning on UK motorways is the way to go about it," he said, pointing out, for example, that small convoys of lorries can block road signs from the view of other road users.
"We have some of the busiest motorways in Europe with many more exits and entries.
"Platooning may work on the miles of deserted freeways in Arizona or Nevada but this is not America," he added.
His comments were echoed by the RAC Foundation.
Its director, Steve Gooding, said: "Streams of close-running HGVs could provide financial savings on long-distance journeys, but on our heavily congested motorways - with stop-start traffic and vehicles jostling for position - the benefits are less certain."
Campaign group the Road Haulage Association said "safety has to come first".
Transport Minister Paul Maynard said platooning could lead to cheaper fuel bills, lower emissions and less congestion.
"But first we must make sure the technology is safe and works well on our roads, and that's why we are investing in these trials," he said.


A motorist has been found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving after an 11-year-old boy was fatally struck by a car.

Shahzaib Hussain died after he was hit outside a mosque on Moss Street West in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester.
Henry Barker, 20, of Failsworth, admitted causing death by careless driving but had denied causing death by dangerous driving.
He was convicted following a trial at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
The court heard Shahzaib ran out onto the street from the mosque, where he had earlier attended afternoon prayers with his father and uncle, on 29 February.


The number of customers complaining about Welsh Water has more than doubled in a year, a watchdog has said.

The 115% rise in written complaints was the biggest among any water company in England and Wales, the Consumer Council for Water (CCWater) found.
Among the issues were more rigorous debt collection, a new billing system and poor communication with some customers from 2015 to 2016.
Welsh Water said it had taken steps to address the issues causing complaints.
However Dee Valley Water, which serves about 260,000 customers in north east Wales and north west England, saw complaints fall by nearly 13%, keeping its record of cutting complaints for a fifth successive year.
Severn Trent, which operates in parts of mid Wales, was one of the best performing companies, with complaints down by 28% on last year.
Tom Taylor, chairman of CCWater's Wales committee, said: "We are disappointed the good progress DÅµr Cymru Welsh Water had made in recent years has been undermined by such a sharp rise in complaints.
"The company has identified the steps it needs to take to put things right with its internal systems and communication with customers, but we will be watching closely to make sure these changes deliver significant improvements."
Overall, written complaints across England and Wales fell marginally by 0.5% in 2015-16.
CCWater said it had asked Welsh Water to provide a progress report by the end of October.
Welsh Water said it was disappointed to see an increase in the written complaints, citing the debt collection and new billing system as factors.
Chief executive Chris Jones said: "It was a bad year in terms of complaints in Wales last year - in terms of written complaints.
"The main reasons for that was we introduced a new billing system which meant that there were errors on some people's bills.
"We have had to apologise for that, put those errors right and we have been working hard to correct those problems and make sure that doesn't happen going forward."


Boxer Andrew Selby is in no hurry to win a world title after securing the British flyweight crown on Saturday.

The 27-year-old flyweight became the fastest Welsh boxer to win a British title with a points victory over Louis Norman at Ice Arena Wales in Cardiff.
It was the Barry fighter's fifth outing as a professional, having made his debut in October 2015.
"I want to be world champion, but there is no rush," said Selby, brother of IBF featherweight champion Lee Selby.
"Get some more 12 rounds in, maybe defend it, go for the European [title].
"There is no point chucking me into the deep end straight away because I have only had one 12-round fight."
No Welsh fighter has claimed a Lonsdale belt in fewer bouts and in less time since turning professional.
Norman, 32, had lost only one of his previous 13 contests.
Norman weighed in 0.9lbs over the eight-stone limit, but made the weight with seconds to spare after stripping completely naked.
The fight was on the undercard of Lee Haskins' successful IBF world bantamweight title defence against Ivan Morales and Selby says it was a great occasion at Wales' new boxing venue.
"It's the belt I've always wanted since I was a little kid," he said.
"Winning in my home town, in front of all my friends and family, you couldn't ask for better. It's a dream.
"You could just hear everyone screaming... I'd enjoy fighting here again."


BBC F1 brings you all the useful (and not so useful) facts about this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix.


Lyle Taylor grabbed the only goal of the game as AFC Wimbledon beat Walsall to record a first win in eight matches in all competitions.

The Dons came into the match without a victory since beating Oxford on January 14, a run that started with their 3-1 FA Cup defeat at home to Sutton three days later.
But Taylor's 12th goal of the season was enough to earn them all three points in this game as Walsall suffered a first defeat in three games.
Home goalkeeper James Shea stopped Walsall full-back Jason McCarthy's fierce drive, while Dons midfielder Tom Soares was inches away from scoring in a first half low on chances.
Dannie Bulman forced Neil Etheridge into a brilliant full-stretch save after the restart as the Dons pushed for the victory.
And Taylor gave the Dons three points with a cool finish at the second attempt to finally get the hosts' season back on track.
The striker completely missed the ball at the first attempt, before burying his second effort from 12 yards.
Tom Elliott missed a good chance to double the lead in the 89th minute and almost paid the price as Walsall came close to a late leveller.
Shea batted O'Connor's shot off the line before visiting substitute Scott Laird hit the bar in the 90th minute, but Wimbledon deservedly hung on for the win.

The family of a woman who died 10 days after a car crash in Aberdeenshire have described her as "a proud mum and a devoted nanna".

Dorothy Cruickshank was one of six people taken to hospital after the two-car collision on the A90 at the Toll of Birness junction on 5 April.
The 66-year-old, from Hatton, was a passenger in a Volkswagen Passat which was in collision with a Peugeot 207.
A statement from her family said: "We'll be lost without her."
It added: "Dorothy always had a smile on face. She was a proud mum of three daughters and a devoted nanna.
"We are completely broken and devastated by the loss of our kind, caring, adorable and loving mum who was also an amazing wife and the best nanna in the world.
"We'll be lost without her and no words can express how much pain we are feeling.
"We would like to express our sincere thanks to the emergency services and the staff at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Accident and Emergency, Intensive Care and High Dependency Units for all their care and support."
The other casualties from the crash were the 70-year-old driver of the Volkswagen and four 18-year-olds in the Peugeot who all suffered serious injuries.
Police Scotland have said a report on the crash will be sent to the procurator fiscal.


Ronny Deila insists that he will never quit as Celtic manager.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Following defeats by Ross County and Aberdeen in the space of four days, the Norwegian is adamant he has the support of the club's hierarchy.
Deila is also confident Celtic will retain the Premiership title.
"I don't consider it," he said of his position. "I talk with the players all the time, the board, we're in this together and we're going to turn it around together."
Despite Aberdeen's 2-1 victory at Pittodrie narrowing Celtic's lead at the top of the league to three points, Deila believes his team has the strength of character to win a fifth successive title.
He acknowledged that fans reacted angrily to the defeat, which came after Sunday's League Cup semi-final loss to County.
However, he maintains that Celtic are still in a strong position.
"I will never quit," he said. "This is a fantastic job and I see great opportunities here.
"The dream is to get into the Champions League and we have to win the league.
"There is a lot to play for and we will stick to what we believe in. There is a lot of quality in this team."
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes still makes Celtic favourites to retain the title - and Deila agrees.
"We lost the game and now we're not in as good a situation as we could be, but the situation is positive, everything is still in our hands and there are a lot of games still to come," said the Norwegian.
"We are very eager and motivated to win the next game."
Deila said he could understand Celtic fans being upset by the consecutive defeats.
"They have big ambition as well for the club," he said. "They're disappointed, but the fans stood behind the team for the whole game.
"The important thing is everybody standing together, that we are one team, because everybody wants to beat Celtic.
"Of course I want to be loved, like everybody else, but I understand that people are irritated and want to have better results.
"To win the league is an absolute must. I believe that we can do this and we're going to fight for it this season."
Deila felt his players were "weak" in the County defeat, but he is backing his squad to cope with the closing stretch of the season.
"I never said mental weakness," he explained. "I said that we were not good enough in the two boxes, that's what we need to get better at.
"We'll deal with it, you have to deal with defeats.
"It's never happened before that we've lost two games in a row.
"Now we have to do everything to make sure it's not three. I feel very confident that we're going to turn it around."


Two well-known pubs at Anglesey have been taken over by a growing hospitality chain.

16 Hospitality has acquired The White Eagle in Rhoscolyn and The Oyster Catcher in Rhosneigr which were owned by the Timpson group.
Bosses said they plan to expand the training business run from The Oyster Catcher's chef academy.
Timpson has taken part ownership of 16 Hospitality, which runs two other pubs in Cheshire, as part of the deal.


Denmark's Magnus Cort Nielsen claimed stage 18 of the Vuelta a Espana in a sprint finish as Nairo Quintana maintained his lead over Chris Froome.

Nielsen took his first Grand Tour stage win from Nikias Arndt with Jean-Pierre Drucker of Luxembourg in third.
Colombia's Quintana finished alongside Britain's Froome in the 200km race from Requena to Gandia to stay three minutes and 37 seconds ahead in the standings.
Froome will hope to close the gap in Friday's crucial 37km time trial.
The Team Sky rider, who won Olympic time trial bronze in Rio, is bidding to become the first man for 38 years to win the Tour de France and Vuelta in the same season.
Following the time trial, there is only Saturday's mountain-top finish for Froome to challenge Quintana because Sunday's finale is a largely processional race to Madrid.
Nielsen, 23, who won a third Vuelta stage for his Orica-BikeExchange team, said: "It's a really big dream come true."

The Light Blues men's crew, who include two members of the winning 2016 team, weighed in at 747.6kg (117.7 stone), while Oxford were 721.7kg (113.6st).
Cambridge will attempt to win the race, which will be broadcast live on the BBC, for a second successive year.
Their women's crew weighed in heaviest as they try to avenge their 2016 defeat.
Cambridge women almost sank in terrible conditions 12 months ago.
Cambridge men's coach is Steve Trapmore, who won Olympic gold at Sydney 2000 as part of the British men's eight.
"Every day has been a learning curve. It's about doing the most I can to get the best out of them," he said.
Oxford men's coach Sean Bowden said: "It's taken us time, it took until November to make any sort of progress but we've found our feet."

Cardboard snack tubes have emerged as an unusual but useful tool as part of water vole conservation work.

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland staff and conservationists have found the tubs handy for catching and handling feisty voles.
"Sometimes they can be a bit nippy," said Roisin Campbell-Palmer, of RZSS, referring to the mammals' bite.
RZSS is involved in vole conservation projects in England and previously worked on one in the Trossachs.
Ms Campbell-Palmer and vet Simon Girling give a sample number of water voles a health check before groups of the animals, which have been reared in captivity, are released into wetlands in England.
To catch the voles for their medical, the snack tubes are laid in their enclosure and the mammals are drawn to the dark tunnels.
Ms Campbell-Palmer said: "The tubes also make it easier to weigh the voles."
For the Trossachs Water Vole Reintroduction Trial water voles were bred at the Edinburgh-based society's Highland Wildlife Park at Kincraig, near Aviemore.
Numbers of voles in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park had been in decline because of predation by non-native American mink.
Other conservation projects have also been successful in boosting water vole numbers.
In 2014, water voles were recorded in a part of the Highlands for the first time in 20 years.
The population was spotted at RSPB Scotland's Insh Marshes reserve in Badenoch and Strathspey.
The charity said it believed efforts to eradicate mink had helped to encourage the return of the rare animals.
In 2011, ecologists recorded for the first time water vole populations in the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve in Torridon.
Water vole numbers have dropped by 90% in the UK over the past 40 years, with predation a key factor for the decline.
The animals received legal protection in 1998.


A man has died after apparently being thrown from a go-kart at a track.

The victim, in his 60s, had been karting at the Ellough Park circuit in Suffolk on Sunday afternoon.
Ambulance crews found the man unconscious and not breathing when they arrived at the track near Beccles and treated him at the scene but he died there.
Suffolk Police have started an investigation into the death, working with Waveney District Council.

A single mother with four children, including one with cerebral palsy, has come forward to claim her part of a $564m (£365m) Powerball jackpot.

Marie Holmes, 26, of North Carolina, bought one of three winning tickets, and will take a $127m lump sum payment.
Ms Holmes bought 10 tickets for the draw earlier in February.
She was "screaming and jumping" when she heard, she told reporters on Monday and the best part of winning was being able to provide for her children.
She also plans to give to her church, travel, finish her university degree and buy her mother a house.
"I am humbled and grateful for the opportunities this has created for my family," Ms Holmes said a press conference where she was presented with a cheque.
She said when she realised she had the winning numbers she started "screaming and jumping around".
"I said to my kids, 'You just don't understand what this means.'"
Two other winning tickets for the Powerball drawing were bought in Puerto Rico and Texas.
The Puerto Rico winner has decided to stay anonymous while no-one has come forward in Texas.


The number of motorcycle deaths in London increased in a year when the capital's total road deaths fell by 4%.

There were 27 motorcyclist deaths in Greater London in 2014 compared with 22 in 2013, Transport for London said.
It said the Met Police was responding by cracking down on speeding and stopping motorcyclists for careless riding and ignoring red lights.
In 2014, there were 127 total recorded road deaths in London and 2,040 people were seriously injured.
Transport for London said the number of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) on the roads last year was the lowest since records began in 1980.
Earlier, London Mayor Boris Johnson set a new target of halving the number of KSIs in London by 2020 compared with the 2005-09 average.
He said: "These figures show quite clearly that road safety in the capital continues to head in the right direction.
"However, with a growing population and more people on our roads, we'll have to pull out all the stops to ensure that such positive trends continue."


A man has been jailed for life for bludgeoning his disabled and elderly former neighbour to death for his bank card.

Raymond Sykes smashed Arthur Walters-Girout's skull and cheek and went on a spending spree in JD Sports and GS Superfoods in Woolwich.
The body of Mr Walters-Girout, 82, lay undiscovered at his home in Sidcup, south east London, for five days.
Sykes, 36, must serve at least 25 years in prison for the murder.
He was sentenced at the Old Bailey earlier.
Sykes, of Engineer Close, Woolwich, claimed he had carried out a mercy killing after he found his former neighbour hitting himself over the head with a claw hammer in June 2015.
Jurors dismissed his claims and convicted him on Tuesday.
At sentencing, Sykes was told his claims he tried to help the victim kill himself were "wholly inconceivable".
During the attack the unemployed father-of-four gained the pin for the stolen bank card and threw a phone across the room to prevent Mr Walters-Girout calling for help.
He was later found dead, slumped in a chair in the living room.
After the attack Sykes drove off in the victim's car to join two others -  Jason Hill, 23, and Ashley Hill, 22 - for a spending spree.
In total 84 transactions were made to steal more than Â£2,400 from the victim's bank account, though Sykes was only involved with three purchases.
Sykes twice tried to hang himself while awaiting trial for murder and also had a history of depression and financial worries, the court heard.
Jason and Ashley Hill, both from Woolwich, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud and will be sentenced at a later date.


South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has been sentenced to six years in prison for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.

He was initially given a five-year term for manslaughter, but was found guilty of murder on appeal last December.
He was taken immediately to jail. Both the prosecution and defence can appeal, but his lawyers say they will not.
Pistorius, 29, shot Reeva Steenkamp four times through a locked toilet door in February 2013.
He admitted shooting her, but said he had mistaken Ms Steenkamp for an intruder and acted out of fear.
Judge Thokozile Masipa said mitigating circumstances, such as rehabilitation and remorse, outweighed aggravating factors, such as his failure to fire a warning shot, for deviating from the prescribed 15-year sentence.
Many have expressed shock at Pistorius's sentence, which is much less than the prescribed minimum for murder. South Africans have taken to social media to express their unhappiness, with some describing the prison term as an insult.
Outside court, legal experts said the sentence was too little. "The judge was sympathetic and empathetic to Pistorius. It was clear in the tone of her entire judgement," one said.
But Judge Masipa said she had carefully considered the circumstances around Reeva Steenkamp's death and her sentence needed to be fair to both Pistorius and the family of the deceased.
South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world, and some say a short sentence will send the wrong message to would-be-offenders.
Has Pistorius got off lightly?
Dressed in a dark suit, Pistorius sat and listened to the hour-long session mostly with his head down.
He hugged his sister after the verdict, and was taken to Pretoria's Khosi Mampuru prison.
Ms Steenkamp's parents, Barry and June, sat quietly on the other side of the packed courtroom.
Pistorius has already served one year in jail over his previous conviction. He is legally obliged to serve half of his new term before being eligible for parole.
His legal team said he would serve the sentence prescribed and would only act to appeal if prosecutors indicated they wanted to appeal.
Prosecutors have not ruled it out and still have 14 days to decide if they will do so, correspondents say.
Barry Steenkamp told the BBC he was pleased that the trial was over, even though life would never be the same again.
Ms Steenkamp's parents had previously expressed disappointment with the initial sentence, an opinion shared by many South Africans. Women's rights groups considered it too lenient.
But Judge Masipa said her opinion was that "a long term in prison will not serve justice".
"Public opinion may be loud and persistent but it can play no role in the decision of this court."
Ms Masipa also said there was "no indication" that the victim was in an abusive relationship or this was a case of "gender violence".
Some rights groups have also argued that Pistorius, a wealthy white man and international celebrity, has received preferential treatment compared with others who lack his status or wealth.
The Women's League of the governing African National Congress (ANCWL) condemned the sentence as too lenient. "It is an insult to women in this country," ANCWL spokeswoman Jacqueline Mofokeng told Reuters news agency.
The six-time Paralympic gold medallist made history by becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics, in 2012 in London, running on prosthetic "blades".
He had his legs amputated below the knee as a baby.


One of the most senior figures in Scottish local government is vowing to resist any moves to centralise control of education.

David O'Neill, president of local authority body Cosla, said poverty was the main barrier to raising attainment.
Some councillors fear the government plans to cut the role of councils in schools.
The Scottish government said making teachers and parents key decision-makers was "decentralising" power.
A spokesman added: "We are doing this because we believe that decisions about children's learning and school life should be taken at school level, supported by parents and the local community.
"This is a vision of empowerment and devolution and our reforms will be based on evidence of what works."
Education Secretary John Swinney announced moves last month to give more power to head teachers and create regional education boards.
The details of who will have what powers and responsibilities have still to be decided, although there will be a presumption to devolve as much power to individual schools as possible.
The argument is that head teachers are best placed to decide on what schemes to raise attainment are most suited to their needs.
However, some councillors fear they will be squeezed out - with schools formally gaining some powers and the new regional boards, which will operate across council areas, absorbing others.
Mr O'Neill will tell delegates at Cosla's conference: "There seems to be in Scotland a national view from both government and parliament of a fall-back position that when money is tight or when we wish to direct services to be effective and efficient, centralisation is the only answer.
"And we cannot allow that to happen in education. I resist making the political point that fire nor police have hardly been a roaring success.
"Centralisation is the enemy of everything we stand for in local government. It does not lead to efficiency and effectiveness. It leads to increased cost, inflexibility, an inability to respond to local requirements and lesser outcomes for communities."
He will also say the main problem raising attainment is poverty - not teachers, the education system or local government.
The background to Mr O'Neill's view is a report for Cosla two years ago that spoke of a 50-year trend towards centralisation in Scotland.
Councils are currently having to argue the case for the powers and responsibilities over schools they need to retain.
One argument is that tackling the impact of poverty on children requires a holistic approach that also involves other local services, including social work.
The state schools system is, in many respects, a national service that councils are entrusted to provide.
Councils employ teachers, take responsibility for school buildings and set budgets. However, they operate within a national framework and agreements.
There have been tensions over the years when individual councils and the government disagree - for instance over school closures, teacher numbers or moves to prioritise cutting class sizes in the early years of primary school.
The Scottish government says it wants to give as much power as possible to individual schools and head teachers.
One early move is to give Â£100m from changes to the council tax next year straight to head teachers - this is also controversial with councils as the money could, effectively, go into a national pot first rather than be spent within the area where the money was raised.
Ministers argue it is placing the raising of attainment in schools at the heart of the government's programme - a top priority is to close the gap in performance between children from relatively rich and poor backgrounds.
The new regional education boards will be designed to support schools and help ones in different council areas work together more effectively.
The government has stressed councils will retain democratic accountability for schools and said schools will not simply be able to opt out of local authority control. There is also no question of Scottish schools being able to chose their pupils on the basis of academic ability.
Scotland's largest teachers' union, the EIS, has previously warned that it did not want to see education caught up in a turf war between different tiers of government.


Manager Brendan Rodgers said he is "very content" at Celtic after clinching the Premiership title in his debut season.

"I couldn't think of a better place for me to be at this stage of my life," said the former Liverpool boss, 44.
"Sometimes that ambition, you have to be careful, you have to really appreciate what you have.
"The beauty of this group of players and how we're going forward is that they're only going to get better."
Celtic remain unbeaten domestically, winning a sixth consecutive title with eight matches to spare, having won 28 from 30.
Rodgers' side have been top of the table since their third weekend in the competition and wrapped it up with a thumping 5-0 win at Hearts on Sunday.
The club still has a Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers to come as they chase a possible domestic treble.
"I've always got to be thinking about tomorrow," added Rodgers, who signed a 12-month rolling contract to replace Ronny Deila last May. "The preparation for Wednesday [at home to Partick Thistle], the semi-final of the cup.
"When I came in I said the club was on a winning cycle and I wanted to continue that.

"We'll add to the squad, not very many, all I want to do is add quality.
"You have to spend, but the club have been great for me. We could have signed a player that I wanted to get in the last window, for quite a large sum of money, but for me it has to be the right player.
"If the right player becomes available and the affordability is there then the club will back me like they've done since the first day I walked into Celtic Park.
"I've only started in management really, I've had five jobs. I've already worked in the Premier League.
"I'm a bit older and more mature. I feel very happy here and there's not a place in the world I could be right now where I'd be happier in my football life and personal life - so it's only the start for us.
"I went very close a couple of years ago with my Liverpool team, and there was disappointment in that when it didn't happen, so I couldn't think of a better football club to win my first league title with - the club I've supported all my life.
"I have a responsibility for the supporters. Being one of them, I know what they think and what they want, and I want to bring them as far to that as I possibly can and when my time is up, hopefully I'll have left a legacy here that they can smile about and have enjoyed, and then it'll be over to the next one.
"But until that moment comes, which hopefully won't be for a while, I'm very content."
Asked if this was his biggest achievement in football, Rodgers, who also worked at Watford, Reading and Swansea, replied: "Not really, no, and I'm not trying to downplay it.
"My biggest feeling is how I can influence players, so when I see Stuart Armstrong play like he did, that's my big achievement. When I see Kieran Tierney, Scott Sinclair, Scotty Brown develop, these are my big achievements.
"For any people thinking it's easy, look at Aberdeen the other night [Friday's 7-0 win at Dundee], and how well they played. A really good team, an excellent manager, and they go away and get a victory at a hard place to go.
"It's just been the level of our consistency - the players are getting the rewards for how they work on a daily basis. It wasn't easy, every game is tough."


Steve Holland has been named England assistant manager on a permanent basis after an interim spell in the job.

The 46-year-old, who is currently Chelsea's assistant first-team coach, will work with England for the games against Germany and Lithuania in March.
He will leave his role with the Premier League club in the summer to join Gareth Southgate's team full-time.
"If we want to be successful then we have to employ the best people and for me, Steve is the best," said Southgate.
Holland has worked as Southgate's assistant since 2013 - first with England Under-21s and more recently with the senior squad, following Sam Allardyce's departure as boss in September.
"We have worked very closely for three years and I have upmost respect for the way that he works, his professionalism and the detail of his preparation," added Southgate, who was made permanent England manager in November.
"I'd like to thank Chelsea for allowing Steve to join up with us over the last three years.
"It's great that Steve is able to work with us on the March camp but getting him on a full-time basis is very important and I was more than prepared to wait until May for that to happen."
Holland, who managed Crewe from 2007 to 2008, joined Chelsea in 2011. He was part of the Blues' backroom team for their Champions League and FA Cup double in 2012, the Europa League win in 2013 and the Premier League and League Cup double in 2015.

The European Central Bank has put forward a proposal to boost its oversight over euro clearing.

The legal amendment would give it a "significantly enhanced" role in regulating the lucrative market.
London currently processes most of the trade in this financial sector, providing thousands of jobs.
The ECB's proposal comes shortly after the European Commission published a draft law to give it the power to move euro clearing business out of London.
Clearing is where a third party organisation acts as a middleman for buyers and sellers of financial contracts tied to the underlying value of a share, index, currency or bond.
Trillions of euros are handled through clearing houses every year, mostly through London.
The ECB said the amendment would give it "clear legal competence" in the area of central clearing, which is currently dominated by London firms.
Under the proposal, the ECB and its national central banks would monitor risks that could affect monetary policy, the operation of payment systems and the stability of the euro.
Analysis: BBC economics correspondent Andrew Walker
Outside the financial world, clearing houses are a little known but important part of the "financial infrastructure" to use the phrase that appears in the key piece of EU legislation.
The European Commission has already called closer supervision for euro clearing that takes place outside the EU and the ECB's proposed rule change would give it the power to take on that role.
For the firms that use these clearing houses, the ECB's watchful eye is something they could live with.
What they don't want is a requirement to have euro denominated business decamp out of London.
They have to put money up front to use these facilities and they can use it more efficiently that if it's not dispersed in many different places.
Daniel Hodson of the Financial Services Negotiation Forum told the BBC that at the moment the ECB did not have sovereignty over euro clearing in London, as its UK regulator - the Bank of England - is responsible.
However, there are "substantial" arrangements in place with the ECB that are "very similar" to those in place with US regulators for dollar clearing, he said.
"There is no economic reason for changing this well-developed and thought out established framework, adapted as appropriate post-Brexit," he said.
"There is a strong argument that to try to move substantial amounts of London based euro clearing business into the eurozone would actually create more systemic risk than it would offset," he added.
The move comes after the European Commission put forward reforms that would impose stricter supervision of the euro derivatives market and could force operators to leave London as a result of Brexit.
At the moment London is the world leader for clearing all types of currency-denominated derivatives including the euro.


Up to 350 homes in the Govanhill area of Glasgow are to be upgraded and made available for social renting.

The four-year improvement and repair scheme is being jointly funded by the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council, at a cost of more than Â£34m.
The investment follows the success of a pilot acquisition and repair scheme in south-west Govanhill.
More than 120 properties in four blocks of flats were taken over and vital repairs carried out.
Local Government and Housing Minister Kevin Stewart said the project had been a great success - but it was clear further work was required.
He said: "Evaluation of this project has shown that, in a relatively short period of time, significant progress has been made.
"However, it's clear that more work needs to be done in this area, and that is why I'm delighted that we're able to invest Â£20m to support a wider programme of improvements across the Govanhill area.
"By working together with Glasgow City Council and Govanhill Housing Association we can continue to make real improvements to the lives of the people who live here."
Glasgow City Council leader Frank McAveety said transforming housing management was the foundation for a long-term improvement in the area.
He said: "The impact of council-inspired initiatives such as the Acquisition Programme and the Enhanced Enforcement Area is now being felt and we are seeing real signs of progress in Govanhill.
"This latest funding package builds on this progress and sets out a clear vision for the future of Govanhill. We see real potential in Govanhill and are willing to back this with the kind of investment that will make a real difference to the area."
Govanhill Housing Association, which will take ownership of the homes, said it would continue to work with local people to improve living conditions, cut overcrowding and provide effective property management.
The association's Annie Macfarlane, who lives in Govanhill, said: "Of the 124 housing association properties bought to date, over 60% are from private landlords. This reflects our successful efforts to take housing into the social rented sector, while also maintaining existing tenancies.
"The long-term approach needed in Govanhill requires continued support from the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council."


A Turkish court has sentenced a high-profile Kurdish MP to 10 years in prison for spreading propaganda on behalf of the Kurdish People's Party (PKK) militant group.

The judge in the south-eastern town of Diyarbakir found Leyla Zana guilty of violating Turkey's anti-terror law.
As an MP she has immunity from prosecution. The sentence will not take effect until she leaves parliament.
The charges relate to nine speeches she gave between 2007 and 2008.
Mrs Zana is seen as a hero by many Kurds for her criticisms of Turkey's treatment of their community.
A previous conviction on the same charges in 2008 was overturned on appeal. Thursday's sentence is the result of a fresh trial for the same charges.
Mrs Zana is also accused of praising Abdullah Ocalan, the PKK leader who has been held in solitary confinement since his capture in 1999.
The PKK has been fighting the Turkish state for nearly 30 years and is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
Mrs Zana, 51, became a leading campaigner for Kurdish prisoners in the 1990s. She was first elected to parliament in 1991, becoming Turkey's first woman Kurdish MP.
Back then, she caused an outcry in Turkey's parliament when she spoke Kurdish while taking the parliamentary oath.
She has already spent a decade in jail, between 1994 and 2004, for alleged links to the PKK.
Mrs Zana was elected again in June 2011, along with 35 other Kurdish-backed candidates.
Many Kurdish politicians, including Mrs Zana, have campaigned for political autonomy for Kurds in south-east Turkey.
About 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict between the Turkish state and PKK guerrillas, but in recent years the government has introduced some reforms to improve the rights of Kurds.
Mrs Zana has been nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize and was awarded the Andrei Sakharov prize for human rights in 1995.


North Wales Police has been criticised for a delay in warning the public about a missing suspected child sex offender.

Michael Leaberry failed to return to Flintshire for a bail appointment in September in connection with alleged child sex offences.
North Wales and Suffolk police officers described him as a "missing person" in a joint appeal in November.
On Wednesday, police said he could pose a risk to children, prompting questions about the time it took to alert people.
The force said it made the decision to avoid "undermining any subsequent criminal proceedings".
An NSPCC Cymru spokesman said: "The police often have to make complex operational decisions about whether to make a public appeal for information based on the intelligence they have about a suspect.
"However, we'd expect serious consideration be given to alerting parents, schools and the wider community at the earliest possible opportunity when someone is thought to pose a risk to children."
Delyn MP David Hanson said: "It is very important that the full information is provided. A missing person enquiry is very different to seeking someone in connection with a criminal offence.
"The police should review the approach they have taken."
A North Wales police spokesman said: "Since Michael Leaberry has been missing, North Wales Police, in conjunction with Suffolk police, have pursued all lines of enquiry to try and trace his whereabouts and safeguard the public.
"These enquiries have continued since Michael Leaberry failed to answer bail.
"Due to those enquiries proving negative, and after careful consideration that we do not undermine any subsequent criminal proceedings, we took the decision to release his full details and seek the support of the public."
According to police, Michael Leaberry, also known as Stephen Bugman, left north Wales in January 2015 and moved to Ipswich, Suffolk and later to Essex.
He failed to answer police bail in September 2015, but he is believed to have been in Ipswich on 29 September.
Officers said they have failed to locate him despite extensive enquiries in the south east of England.
