The appointments process for a new prisons inspector in England and Wales has raised the concerns of MPs.

The Justice Select Committee said it was not disclosed that two of the panel's independent members were active members of the Conservative Party.
And it criticised the justice secretary for not putting forward a candidate rated as "excellent" by the panel.
The Ministry of Justice said the recruitment process was run in line with the code of practice.
The two Conservatives on the four-strong panel were Lord Henley, a former Home Office minister, and Youth Justice Board member Amanda Sater, who was last year named as woman's adviser to Tory party chairman Grant Shapps.
The cross-party committee's report into the process to appoint outgoing prisons inspector Nick Hardwick's successor said the post should be filled on the recommendation of parliament, not the government.
Chairman Sir Alan Beith, a Lib Dem, said the post holder must be seen to be independent from ministerial or political pressure.
Public Appointments Commissioner Sir David Normington said this and a number of other cases meant he would be recommending a change in the rules to panel membership after the general election.
"It does not aid public confidence in the public appointments process to have an independent member who is an active member of a political party or indeed to have two panel members, who are so politically associated with the government," he said.
Sir Alan said the committee "fully accept" Lord Henley and Ms Sater operated within the code, "and we make no criticism of them".
But it was "unfortunate" that the committee had not been informed by Justice Secretary Chris Grayling they were active party members.
The current chief inspector's term expires this July but he is to stay on until a successor has been found.
The committee said it had been expecting to receive information about the outcome of the recruitment process in time to hold a pre-appointment hearing on 17 March.
But on 11 March Mr Grayling wrote to them to say that, although the panel had approved one individual, he was not prepared to propose them "in the absence of a wider pool of candidates from which to select".
Sir Alan said Mr Grayling had not offered a "convincing reason" for his decision.
"The chief inspector of prisons, and the inspectorate which he leads, are vital in assessing standards of safety, security and decency in prisons.
"The chief inspector must be seen to be independent from any ministerial or political pressure."
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "The selection panel and process... was completely run in line with the commissioner for public appointments' code of practice.
"It is good practice to provide the minister with a choice of candidates to select from and we are grateful to Nick Hardwick for agreeing to extend his appointment while this process takes place."
A government source added: "The committee can't have it both ways, both criticising the selection panel and then criticising the government for not accepting its recommendation.
"The panel was made up of experienced people.  We aren't going to appoint someone until we are sure we have the best candidate."
Shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan said Mr Hardwick was "effectively sacked for daring to tell the truth about the prisons crisis", adding "it's not surprising nobody seems to want the job".
"This is a critical role, and if the public are to have confidence in our jail system there needs to be a strong, independent chief inspector in post to hold the government to account," he said.


Jermaine McGillvary scored his fourth try in three games as Huddersfield fought back to beat Wakefield Trinity at John Smith's Stadium.

Sam Wood grabbed two tries in three minutes to give Huddersfield an early lead before Liam Finn responded.
Ben Jones-Bishop then grabbed a first-half double of his own to help put Wakefield 16-8 up at the break.
Ukuma Ta'ai and Oliver Roberts tries edged Giants back in front before McGillvary completed the win.
Huddersfield's second victory from three Super League games this season puts them third in the table and among four sides equal on points with early competition leaders Castleford.
Defeat leaves Wakefield third from bottom and winless in 11 Super League matches, with their last win coming before the Super 8s last season.
Unforced errors hurt them after the break as the hosts mounted their comeback, with Ta'ai powering over before Roberts edged them ahead from close range.
The visitors then lost Jones-Bishop to a head injury before McGillvary got on the end of a Danny Brough kick eight minutes from time.
And with his second successful conversion of the night, Brough moved up to 10th in the all-time Super League points scoring list.
Huddersfield head coach Rick Stone told BBC Radio Leeds:
"I'm really happy for the boys, we had a bit of soul-searching to do at half-time, it wasn't too good and the momentum definitely was with Wakefield at half-time.
"But we talked a little bit about the team we wanted to be and how we wanted to defend and work together.
"It was really pleasing to see some of our young players grow as the second half unfolded."
Wakefield head coach Chris Chester told BBC Radio Leeds:
"That's two weeks on the bounce now we've put ourselves in position to win a game and not come away with the two points.
"We went chasing the game for some reason in the second half when we were comfortably in front.
"We came up with some really poor decision in the final third and we got taught a big lesson tonight."
Huddersfield Giants: Gaskell; McGillvary, S Wood, Mellor, Murphy; Brough, Brierley; Rapira, Leeming, Ikahihifo, Ta'ai, Ferguson, Hinchcliffe.
Replacements: Wakeman, Roberts, Clough, Smith.
Wakefield Trinity: Grix; Johnstone, Lyne, B Tupou, Jones-Bishop; Miller, Williams; Fifita, Finn, England, Ashurst, Kirmond, Huby.
Replacements: Wood, Arona, Crowther, Walker.
Referee: Chris Kendall.


A student who is confined to bed with a rare condition that causes all her joints to dislocate has collected her university degree on a stretcher.

Melanie Hartshorn, 26, from Cramlington, Northumberland, has a rare form of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), which affects her connective tissue.
As a result she did the final year of her Newcastle University biology degree at home and took her exams lying down.
But she collected her certificate in front of cheering friends on Tuesday.
She said: "This brilliant day means so much to me and I want to thank everyone who has supported me.
"As my condition worsened, I needed multiple operations which prevented me from graduating with my colleagues. It also meant I had to sit my exams on a stretcher and to work on assignments from home.
"Everyone has been amazing and made my time here enjoyable and reaching my goal to graduate achievable, despite the extreme medical obstacles I have had to tackle."
She also revealed she had launched an appeal to raise Â£150,000 which she needs for treatment, as her skull has started to sink into her spine.
Ms Hartshorn's mother and sole carer, Molly, said: "Melanie's graduation means a lot us. She didn't give up even after she lost her ability to write and read, having to work on her assignments from memory.
"She's been through so much, yet she managed to become the first in the family to graduate. I'm really proud of her."
Ms Hartshorn received her degree certificate from the university's pro-vice-chancellor for the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Prof Chris Day.


Late on Wednesday morning, two warplanes flying at high altitude fired missiles into the rebel-held town of Talbiseh in western Syria, killing at least 20 civilians and injuring dozens more, according to an opposition activist who witnessed the attack.

Adnan, who is also a school teacher, says he knew this was something different when he saw how high the aircraft were flying and then went to see the destruction caused by the explosions.
"It was very frightening, the attack was so powerful and the casualties were so many," he says.
He is convinced these were Russian air strikes and while it's not possible to independently verify his account, it does tally with other reports.
Videos apparently from the town show collapsed buildings and people desperately pulling the dead and injured from the rubble.
Talbiseh - which lies on a vital road running from the capital Damascus to the northern city of Aleppo - has been in rebel hands since 2012.
The rebels are mostly locals, and Adnan says they are affiliated to the Free Syrian Army.
The jihadist group Ahrar al-Sham is also known to have a presence in the town, but it is a bitter enemy of Islamic State and a powerful force fighting to bring down Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his regime.
"They (the Russians) attacked us because we are against the regime," says Adnan, "now everyone is afraid of the warplanes and afraid of more attacks."
Many of those who died in Wednesday's air strikes were inside the post office building which is being used to distribute bread to the population, activists say.
According to Adnan, the field hospital - which already lacked medicine and blood supplies - was overwhelmed by the number of casualties.
And now the people of Talbiseh await the next attack, either from Russian planes or the Syrian army.
The rumour in Talbiseh is that the air strikes could be a prelude to a new ground offensive by Syrian troops with the aim of finally regaining control of the rebel town and the strategic highway running north to Hama and Aleppo.


Cardiff City forward Craig Noone says "something is building" at the club under boss Neil Warnock.

The Bluebirds made it three wins in a week by hammering Rotherham 5-0 and boss Warnock is set to extend his stay.
Warnock has taken a side in a battle to avoid the drop and steered them up the table and Noone expects more success.
"I think everybody would (like him to stay). The proof is in the pudding with want he does, how effective he is in this league," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"I think he's said he wants his eighth promotion so it's over to Vincent (Tan, chairman) and everyone to back him and see how it goes.
"Something is building here. Me personally I've seen quite a bit in the four or five years I've been here, and I've seen the good times and bad times.
"I know the way the club is now, the way the manager has got the place in a happy mood and even the fans singing his name must have felt special to him because he's got us playing well and getting results."
Noone, who joined Cardiff in 2012, believes Warnock, who succeeded Paul Trollope in October, is getting the best out of him after a start where neither party was sure of the other.
"It was tough when he first came in (for me) because I was in and out but the last three games I've done well and I feel like he's put everything into me, he gets the best out of me," he explained.
"He's very honest, he's straight up and he'll tell you how he sees it and that's fair play to him.
"I think that's the type of character he is, he just says it how it is, and if you don't like it it's tough so you get on with it.
"He's put a lot of faith in me and given me a lot of confidence in me since January when things weren't going well for me. I think I've done okay since then and I can only improve."


Guinea and Angola caused the biggest shocks of the weekend so far as they qualified for the finals of the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Rwanda.

Guinea qualified for the tournament for locally based players for the first time after three failed attempts by eliminating Senegal.
Angola lost at home to South Africa in the second leg of their qualifier, but still managed to progress thanks to an aggregate victory.
Hosts Senegal came from behind against Guinea on Saturday to triumph 3-1, but went out on away goals after losing the first leg 2-0 last weekend.
Zambia, Gabon and Mali also booked places at the biennial tournament, which Rwanda hosts from 16 January to 7 February next year.
(Ties played over two legs, home and away, except in Northern Zone)
Goals from Aboubacar Mouctar Sylla and Aboubacar Iyanga  Sylla gave Guinea a 2-0 first-leg advantage over Senegal a week ago in a game switched to Mali because of the Ebola epidemic.
That advantage stretched to three goals just three minutes into the return match on an artificial surface at Stade Demba Diop in Dakar when Aboubacar Bangoura scored.
Sylvain Badji triggered a Senegalese recovery with a 13th minute goal and a late second-half brace from Ibrahima Sory Keita set up a tense climax.
A makeshift South African side regained some pride after a two-goal first leg defeat by snatching a stoppage time victory over Angola in Luanda in their return leg, although Angola went through 3-2 on aggregate.
After Fabricio Mafuta conceded an own goal, the hosts levelled before half-time when 'Gelson' - or Jacinto Muondo Dala - punished slack marking to fire past goalkeeper Wayne Sandilands.
Lyle Lakay scored the second leg winner six minutes into additional time off a fiercely-struck free kick that went in off the woodwork.
South African clubs refused to release national stars as CHAN matches are not staged on Fifa international dates, forcing coach Thabo Senong to pick out-of-favour first and second division footballers.
Gatoch Panom was a two-goal hero for Ethiopia as they came back from a 2-0 first leg deficit against Burundi to win 3-0 in Addis Ababa.
The midfielder scored twice within seven minutes to help Ethiopia go through 3-2 on aggregate.
Zambia booked their place in Rwanda with a 1-1 draw in Mozambique, giving Chipolopolo a 4-1 win on aggregate.
Festus Mbewe put Zambia ahead in the second leg, with Momed Hagi hitting a late consolation for the hosts from the penalty spot.
Gabon losing 1-0 to Chad in Libreville was a shock after they built a comfortable first-leg advantage in N'Djamena, although Gabon went through 2-1 overall.
Nassor Ndiguem scored on 70 minutes for the Chadians, but the visitors failed to strike again and force the tie into a penalty shootout.
Nigeria drew 0-0 away to Burkina Faso, but it was enough for the Super Eagles to go through 2-0 on aggregate.
Mali made the perfect start in Nouakchott with Moussa Bakayoko scoring five minutes into the opening half to cancel the 'away' goal Mauritania brought back from Bamako.
Mama Niass equalised on the stroke of half-time and a goalless second half gave the visitors overall success.
Democratic Republic of Congo, Morocco and Tunisia have also qualified and Rwanda are automatic entrants as hosts.
Two other second legs have been delayed until next week because of presidential elections in Ivory Coast and a presidency-related referendum in Congo Brazzaville.


The Girl on the Train has ended Bridget Jones's cinematic dominance by topping the UK and Ireland box office chart on its first weekend of release.

The film of Paula Hawkins' novel sees Emily Blunt play an alcoholic trying to solve a mystery.
It made £6.95m in its first five days in cinemas, sending Bridget Jones's Baby down to two after three weeks in the top spot.
Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children has also moved down a place.
It took £2.22m at the box office, falling from number two to three.
The Girl on the Train was also the number one film in the US and Canada at the weekend, having taken $24.7m (£19.9m).
Deepwater Horizon and The Magnificent Seven round out this week's top five with weekend takings of £987,694 and £511,539 respectively.
War on Everyone, the latest film from Anglo-Irish writer-director John Michael McDonagh, fared less well than The Girl on the Train on its first weekend, entering the chart at seven.
Yet its £187,564 haul still trumped that of Mel Gibson's latest action thriller Blood Father, whose £69,000 takings saw it ranked a lowly 17th in this week's countdown.
After just four weeks on release, Bridget Jones's Baby - the third film to star Renee Zellweger as Helen Fielding's "singleton" heroine - is now the fourth highest-grossing UK release of 2016.
It is almost level with comic book movie Deadpool and could overtake both Finding Dory's £42m and the £46.2m that The Jungle Book took earlier this year.
There were 18.1 million cinema admissions across the UK in August, the highest monthly total of 2016 so far.
Final placings, though, are sure to be heavily influenced by Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, in cinemas in November, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, out in December.

(Close): London's stock market fell more than 1% in a widespread sell-off, while the pound flirted with its lowest level against the euro since Brexit.

The FTSE 100 ended down 91.39 points, or 1.32%, at 6,818.04, with only a few stocks rising.
Intercontinental Hotels was the biggest faller, dropping 6% after Morgan Stanley cut its rating on the stock to "underweight" from "equalweight".
Lloyds Banking Group was another company to suffer from a downgrade.
It fell 3% after Goldman Sachs downgraded the bank's shares to "sell" from "neutral".
Banking stocks across Europe were also under pressure after shares in Germany's Deutsche Bank fell 7% to their lowest level since the 1980s. The bank's shares were hit following reports at the weekend that the German government had ruled out state aid for the company.
"Since its peaks last October Deutsche Bank's share price has fallen over 60% reflecting increasing investor disquiet about its ability to deal with its problems at a time of negative rates, shrinking profitability, no dividend and the prospect of tighter capital rules," said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK.
"While one can understand the reticence of German politicians to bailout yet another bank, particularly in the lead up to an election next year, one has to question the wisdom of articulating that reluctance out loud when markets are already nervous about Deutsche Bank's capital position."
Sports Direct was down 6% as the fall out continues over the resignation of its chief executive last week and his replacement by founder and major shareholder Mike Ashley.
On the currency markets, the pound weakened on worries over the form that the UK's exit from the EU would take.
Against the euro, sterling was trading down 0.3% at €1.1518, regaining a sliver of earlier losses that took it near to its lowest since the Brexit vote, while against the dollar it was up 0.16% at $1.2986.


Donald Trump has said he will name his nominee for the US Supreme Court on Tuesday night.

Given the immense impact the US Supreme Court has on US political life, the nominee will face tough questions from the Senate during any confirmation hearings.
So how might this pick change the nation's high court?
Who are the current justices? Meet the Supremes
The highest court in the US is often the final word on highly contentious laws, disputes between states and the federal government, and final appeals to stay executions.
It hears fewer than 100 cases a year and the key announcements are made in June. Each of the nine justices serve a lifetime appointment after being nominated by the president and approved by the Senate.
Cases are usually brought to the court after they are appealed from a series of lower courts, although in time-sensitive cases, lawyers can petition for a hearing. The court's opinions can also create precedents, directing other judges to follow their interpretation in similar cases.
In recent years, the court has expanded gay marriage to all 50 states, halted President Obama's immigration orders and delayed a US plan to cut carbon emissions while appeals went forward.
Occasionally, the Supreme Court will revisit an issue in a new case and change their own precedent, a move anti-abortion activists hope will come to pass with a new conservative justice.
The court already has cases this term on the rights of transgender students, gerrymandered voting districts and on a Texas' death penalty determination.
It is also likely the court will hear cases on voter rights, abortion, racial bias in policing and in the legal system, as well as US immigration policy in the upcoming years.
Mr Trump's executive order on banning refugees and travellers from Muslim-majority nations may also end up on the Supreme Court's plate.
President Trump has made clear he wants a conservative justice. He has specifically said his Supreme Court picks would be pro-gun rights, anti-same-sex marriage and would take a hard line on deporting undocumented immigrants.
When asked at the third debate, Mr Trump said he expects the landmark 1973 ruling on abortion, Roe v Wade, to be overturned under his presidency.
"That'll happen automatically, in my opinion, because I am putting pro-life justices on the court," he said.
In fact, a case would have to be tried elsewhere before being heard by the court, it would not happen "automatically".
He also described a justice who would "interpret the Constitution the way the founders wanted it interpreted" - an originalist like Antonin Scalia.
While a majority of Supreme Court cases do not break on ideological lines, there are conservative and liberal wings. Key cases have been decided on 5-4 votes.
With Scalia's death, the court is arguably divided four-four.
Confirming a conservative justice with similar views to Scalia would ultimately return the court to a narrow conservative majority, but it would not guarantee wins on all the issues Mr Trump has described as a priority.
Justice Anthony Kennedy is considered the court's swing vote, having sided with both the conservative and liberal justices on major cases.
Liberals and legal advocates on the other side of these issues are also concerned about the potential for Mr Trump to nominate a second justice during his term.
In March, President Obama nominated Merrick Garland, a federal appeals judge, for the empty seat. But Republicans refused to hold a hearing or vote on Mr Garland's nomination, and he is no longer under consideration.
During their year without a ninth justice, the court continued to work, with some cases affected by Scalia's death.
A 4-4 deadlock on Mr Obama's immigration order left the legal status of about four million undocumented immigrants in limbo. Public sector labour unions got a temporary win in another tied case, but  no precedent was set because of the split.
But the court also rejected a conservative challenge to a university affirmation action policy in a 4-3 vote, after Justice Kagan recused herself. And justices voted 5-3 to strike down a pair of Texas abortion restriction laws.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer has said congressional Democrats would be willing to block confirmation and leave the seat open if Mr Trump does not name a "mainstream nominee".
Mr Trump is reportedly considering three judges for the position.
Neil Gorsuch
Mr Gorsuch, who lives in Denver, Colorado, has served on the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals since 2006. The 49-year-old is the youngest of the group and boasts an academic pedigree typical of Supreme Court Justices (Columbia University, Harvard Law School and at Oxford).
He also clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and previously served as a deputy assistant attorney general at the Justice Department.
Mr Gorsuch shares the late Justice Antonin Scalia's strict interpretation of the US constitution, which is that it should be followed as the Founding Fathers intended.
Thomas Hardiman
The Philadelphia-based judge, 51, has served since 2007 on the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals - the same court in which the president's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, resides.
Mr Hardiman graduated from Notre Dame and Georgetown Law School, which would make him the court's only justice without an Ivy League degree.
He was the first person in his family to go to college and supported himself in law school by driving a taxi.
Mr Hardiman has supported gun rights and police powers, including a case in which he sided with jails seeking to strip-search all inmates.
William Pryor
The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals judge, 54, lives in Atlanta, Georgia. He previously served as Alabama's attorney general, preceding Senator Jeff Sessions, Mr Trump's choice for US attorney general.
Mr Pryor has criticised the Supreme Court's 1973 landmark abortion ruling Roe v Wade as "the worst abomination of constitutional law".
He also came under fire from conservatives for siding with a transgender woman who sued for sex discrimination in 2011.


The police service is resistant to change because of an "insular attitude" and chief constables who fail to listen to officers, the body responsible for training in England and Wales says.

A College of Policing review said the service needed to address issues of hierarchy, culture and consistency.
It identifies positive aspects of police culture, such as decisiveness, compassion and a "can do" attitude.
But it also suggests there may need to be a reduction in the number of ranks.
A "flatter system" could lead to significant improvements, it adds.
The leadership review concludes a major obstacle to reform is what it describes as the "heroic model" of leadership, in which officers are expected to carry out the will of the chief constable, who acts as a figurehead.
There should instead be more emphasis on teamwork, it says.
"The distance between the majority of the workforce and senior leaders created by the rank hierarchy can reduce the willingness of some to adhere to best practice or seek development opportunities," it says.
The document calls for a new model of leadership and management training within the service.
It says all vacancies should be promoted nationally, there should be increased flexibility in assigning power to staff, and chief officers should be allowed to continue to develop.
The report also highlights the "huge" challenge the service faces to improve black, minority or ethnic representation.
Some 17,000 BME officers will have to be recruited over the next decade for the service to be "more representative", it says.
The review was carried out after a request by Home Secretary Theresa May.
College of Policing CEO Chief Constable Alex Marshall said: "I do not underestimate the challenge of delivering these recommendations.
"While the college has a significant part to play, they require a much wider response from across the police service, police and crime commissioners and the Home Office.
"Implementing the recommendations inevitably comes with a cost, but we accept that investment is crucial if we are to improve the way that our leaders are developed."


It seems - at first glance - a rather strange photograph.

Jeremy Corbyn, wearing goggles and a cap, leaning on the door of a train toilet.
But there is a logical explanation: the Labour leader was visiting a rail factory in Doncaster on Thursday.
Mr Corbyn used the visit to Wabtec Rail to pledge Labour action on the economy and jobs after Brexit.
But the photo - taken by a Press Association photographer - has prompted a stream of comments, with many suggesting it was ill-advised.
Let me take you along to what we call a political photo op.
Traditionally, at least for the last 20-odd years anyway, these have tended to be highly choreographed affairs.
Someone employed by the politician, who has a keen eye for how a picture will look and what headline writers might be tempted to attach to it, will survey the landscape in front of them.
Owl-like, the spin doctor will be looking for hostages to fortune.
Like a leader in trouble being snapped near an exit sign, for instance.
Enter Jeremy Corbyn.
A leader who has defined himself as very different from the generation of political leaders before him by eschewing the conventions of modern politics.
So, while many a politico would avoid being snapped examining a toilet cubicle - the potential headlines are as crude as they are obvious - Mr Corbyn would argue he was visiting a train factory, and so what? Don't be so superficial.
Mr Corbyn - whose team has declined to comment - was also photographed away from the toilet.
And he's not the first politician to be photographed in unfortunate circumstances.


Police say they have foiled an active terror plot after a woman was shot during a raid on a house in Willesden, north-west London.

The 21-year-old woman was one of the subjects of the investigation and is in a serious but stable condition.
A raid also took place in Kent, with six people arrested in total.
Officers say the operation was not connected to an arrest near Parliament on Thursday, when a man was detained on suspicion of terror offences.
The house in Harlesden Road, Willesden, which was raided on Thursday evening, had been under observation by police.
Those arrested included a 16-year-old boy, a man and woman, both aged 20 and another man and woman both aged 28. A 43-year-old woman was also arrested in Kent.  All of them were detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts.
The woman who was shot is under police guard in hospital but has not been arrested "due to her condition",
Alex Paton, 50, who lives in Harlesden Road, said he saw a woman "getting all cuffed up and put in a white suit".
He described seeing "coppers and masked men with guns".
Another resident said she had heard the "bang, bang, bang" of shots.
A neighbour of the raided property suggested the shot woman had suffered injuries to her left arm and stomach.
He said the family who lived there were from Somalia.
Ruth Haile, who lives in the road, said she heard shots and the woman on the ground shouting: "Don't touch me, my body, don't touch my dress."
It is believed to be the first time a woman has been shot by police in 10 years. The last time was in 2007 when Ann Sanderson was fatally shot in Kent.
Police said searches had taken place at "linked addresses", as well as where the arrests took place.
Neil Basu, deputy assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said: "Due to these arrests that have been made yesterday, in both cases I believe that we have contained the threats that they pose."
By home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani
The intelligence convinced Scotland Yard they needed to go in fast and hard to carry out arrests.
That means they feared there was some kind of threat that needed to be contained - a threat that required a large team of the most highly-trained available officers.
They fired CS gas canisters into the building, smashing holes in the top front window.
The 21-year-old woman who was shot is not one of those under arrest - but has been described by police as one of the "subjects" - security services speak for someone at the heart of an operation.
We don't know anything about how and why she was injured and that will be subject of a police watchdog investigation, as is always the case.

The Willesden raid has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission and the Met's directorate of professional standards, as is procedure.
The IPCC said it was gathering evidence but that no officers were under investigation.
On Thursday, police arrested a 27-year-old man at the junction of Parliament Street and Parliament Square, in London, as part of an intelligence-led operation.
He was identified on Friday as Khalid Mohamed Omar Ali, a British national who is believed to have gone to school in Tottenham, north London, but was not born in the UK.
The Met said he had been detained on suspicion of terrorism offences and that knives were recovered from the scene.
He had been on the force's radar for some time and it is thought police acted after a concerned family member contacted them.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said she had spoken to the Met about both incidents and thanked them for their actions.
"I would like to reinforce my gratitude to the police and security services, who work tirelessly around the clock to keep the people of this country safe," she said.
"They carry out their duties with calmness and professionalism, and we are all grateful for their dedication."

A woman who alleges she was groped by Rolf Harris has told his trial how the ex-TV presenter thrust his hand between her legs while in the back of a taxi.

The woman, who says she was indecently assaulted at the TV show Star Games in 1978, told Southwark Crown Court the alleged attack was "humiliating".
Earlier, a man said he had seen nothing untoward in a hospital room where Mr Harris allegedly groped a blind woman.
Mr Harris denies seven indecent assault charges and one of sexual assault.
Giving evidence, a woman told the court how Mr Harris had groped her while she was helping on a It's A Knockout-style show, Star Games.
She demonstrated to the jury how Mr Harris had put his arm around her and "lifted my breast" with his hand.
"I did not have any doubt at that point that he had deliberately groped me. I felt unhappy and I did not want to be there any more," she told the court.
Asked how she knew the touching had been deliberate, she added: "Because he didn't just graze my breast, he clearly touched it.
"He didn't apologise or look embarrassed or pull away, he just pulled me further into him."
She said the pair had been in a taxi later in the day, when Mr Harris put his hand on her knee and slid it between her legs.
The witness said she had then sworn at him.
Asked how long his hand remained there, she said: "Not long, I pulled it off. It was the first time in my life I used the F-word at an adult."
She said that later on the same day, she told her father that Mr Harris was "a dirty old man".
Questions about why she told the jury details that had not been in her police statement, she said: "It's not the sort of detail you tell to men you have never met before.
"I would never do it again. I am trying to tell the truth now."
She added: "It was humiliating and it is humiliating to tell it in public."
Earlier. a witness who was in a room at Moorfields Eye Hospital, in London, where Mr Harris allegedly groped a blind, disabled woman told a court he saw nothing to give him cause for concern.
The woman, who has been disabled since birth, was blind and had to walk with a stick when the indecent assault allegedly took place in 1977.
Giving evidence on Monday, she told the court Mr Harris had swooped on her like a "hawk pouncing on his prey", leaving her "completely and utterly trapped" during the incident.
The witness, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the jury how he had welcomed the entertainer into the hospital room where the complainant was.
He told the court he would have been paying "very little" attention to the pair.
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees asked: "In the course of that period he was in your company, can you recall any event that gave you cause for concern?"
The witness, who was in his late teens or early 20s at the time of the alleged assault, said: "I saw nothing that gave me cause for concern or heard anything that gave me cause for concern.
"I can't recall anything being reported to me, by anybody, of any concern."
He told the court that included the complainant.
Stephen Vullo, defending, asked the witness if "at any point" he had seen Mr Harris stand up, walk behind the complainant's chair, crouch down and "grab both her breasts".
He answered: "I do not recall that happening."
The witness said he did not remember discussing with the woman about whether she should ring the police.
Asked by Mr Vullo if he was certain, he replied: "Yes, I am sure."
Mr Harris is appearing in court via video link from Stafford Prison, where he is serving a sentence for a series of offences of indecent assault carried out on four female victims.
The trial continues.


Samsung has confirmed its next high-end smartphones will feature 64-bit processors.

The announcement follows the launch of the iPhone 5S, the first handset to include the technology.
Apple boasted its A7 chip offered "desktop-class architecture".
However, experts say most apps are unlikely to see much immediate benefit from the shift from 32-bit tech and that it could introduce compatibility problems in the future.
The Android operating system would need to be updated before Samsung's Galaxy devices could take advantage of a shift to 64-bit.
The number of bits in relation to a microprocessor affects the size of the numbers that can be handled by its registers - the tiny bits of memory on the processing chip itself. Those numbers are then used to address RAM (random-access memory).
In the case of 32-bit architecture, the amount of memory than can be addressed is two to the power of 32, in other words 4.3 billion values.
In the case of 64-bit architecture the processor can theoretically address 18,400,000 trillion values.
As a result, operating systems written for 32-bit chips can only access up to 4GB of RAM, but those written for 64-bit processors can, in theory, support up to 16 billion gigabytes of RAM.
If a program has been written to take advantage of a 64-bit operating system, it should mean the processor can access data that is in this larger memory rather than retrieving it from, for example, the hard disk.
This speeds up the whole processing chain.
However, including more RAM also makes the equipment more expensive and power-hungry.
For that reason, smart-device makers have tended to shy away from taking advantage of 32-bit chips' upper RAM limit.
Samsung's forthcoming Galaxy Note 3 handset goes the furthest, with 3GB of RAM. The device also features a bigger-than-normal 3,200 mAh battery.
Samsung Electronic's co-chief executive announced its plan to use 64-bit chips, in an interview with the Korea Times newspaper.
"Not in the shortest time," said Shin Jong-kyun. "But yes, our next smartphones will have 64-bit processing functionality."
However, bearing in mind there will remain many iOS and Android handsets on the market that still rely on 32-bit chips, this may deter developers from taking advantage of the switch in the short-term.
"People who have the old 32-bit processors will not be able to run software that is built specifically for the 64-bit processors because the latter uses a different instruction set," explained Prof Alan Woodward, from the University of Surrey's computing department.
"However, if people write in 32-bit, it will run on many of the 64-bit processors because they still support the old instruction set.
"So, you can get the whole market by writing the app in 32-bits, but you can only get a very small part of the market if you write specifically for 64-bits."
One solution to this is to use what is called a "fat binary", a program containing code tailored to both types of processor. Apple's Xcode toolset allows this to be done automatically.
However, using fat binaries makes apps bigger and they therefore take up more storage space.
Once sales of the new devices do grow, makers of video games and software to create 3D-animations might be among the first to make the switch since their programs are among the most processor-intensive and thus most likely to see the biggest benefit.
One iPhone and Android developer welcomed the move.
"Yes, many apps won't be able to take advantage of 64-bit at the outset," said Stephen Lum from Visual Candy Apps.
"But the beauty of what Apple did is that they said it takes an iOS developer, like me, two hours to convert to 64-bit. That is awesome."
However, one industry watcher warned that the switch might create compatibility problems for devices using older types of chip once developers started releasing apps that only worked on 64-bit processors.
"When app makers do decide to transition to fully 64-bit, it will create a divide in the market," said Chris Green, from the Davies Murphy Group consultancy.
"We saw exactly the same thing happen in the Windows world when software makers moved from 32-bit to purely 64-bit."
For now British chip designer ARM may prove the biggest beneficiary.
Smart-device makers are able to offer 64-bit tech because they have licensed the firm's ARMv8 architecture, which it first announced in 2011. The design includes other elements which should also boost processing power.
The news means the company will enjoy bigger fees. ARM's share price has risen about 10% since the start of the week.
Some have speculated that Apple's announcement might foreshadow the US firm ditching Intel chips in its laptops and desktop computers and moving to its own processors.
"Apple's new A7 chip is not powerful enough to be a PC chip, but the architecture is going that way," said Prof Woodward.
"They might be readying themselves. I think this is the beginning of a long road."


The Liberal Democrats were nearly wiped out in Scotland in 2015.

Like Labour and the Conservatives, they managed just one seat. Alistair Carmichael won Orkney and Shetland by 817 votes (more about him in a minute).
The party is hopeful it can do better this time with its pro-Europe, anti-independence message.
There are three key seats the party's strategists will be focusing on (all with female candidates as the party tries to shake off the idea it's dominated by men - all of its MSPs are male).
Firstly Edinburgh West. This was the seat won by Michelle Thomson for the SNP last time around - before she withdrew from the party whip amid controversy over property deals. She's not standing this time.
The Lib Dems have chosen Christine Jardine as their candidate. The party won the equivalent seat at Holyrood last year and thinks it has a strong ground campaign.
They think they can win anti-independence votes from Labour and the Conservatives which may be enough to win them the seat (the Conservatives are standing Sandy Batho, it's expected the SNP will announce their candidate this weekend).
Another target is East Dunbartonshire where former junior minister Jo Swinson is trying to win her seat back from the SNP. Last time John Nicolson won by more than 2,000 votes.
The Lib Dems are hopeful here too; party strategists think Ms Swinson has "star power" and say donations have been flooding in.
But SNP insiders think her record could be a weakness, given that she was a prominent MP during the coalition years. Residents in the constituency can expect to hear a lot on that from the Nationalists in the next six weeks.
One other seat they'll be concentrating on is North East Fife. The Lib Dems won the equivalent Scottish Parliament seat (ish, Westminster and Holyrood seats differ in size and scope) last year.
Before 2015, they had held it since the 1980s. They've identified this as one to watch this time and have chosen councillor Elizabeth Riches to stand. But the incumbent SNP MP Stephen Gethins has a high-profile as the party's Europe spokesman. He's thought to be confident of keeping this one on 8 June.
Finally, the seat they held last time, Orkney and Shetland.
After the 2015 result there was a high-profile row over Mr Carmichael's future. It was revealed he'd backed the leaking of a document which suggested Nicola Sturgeon wanted David Cameron to be PM (a claim she furiously denied, and which there is no evidence for).
He faced calls to resign and was taken to a special election court by campaigners. Judges say he told a blatant lie about when he knew about the memo in a TV interview, but ruled it wasn't proven beyond reasonable doubt he'd committed an illegal practice.
The Lib Dem team are confident they can win it though. They argue attacks on Mr Carmichael were "overcooked" and point to the increased majorities enjoyed by local MSPs at Holyrood elections last year.
As noted in this blog though, the SNP say they will be fighting hard to win this and other seats they didn't take last time.

Favourite Minella Rocco will not run in next month's Grand National at Aintree, trainer Jonjo O'Neill says.

Minella Rocco was about 8-1 favourite after finishing runner-up to Sizing John in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Stablemate More Of That, who was sixth in the Gold Cup, is set to run in the National on Saturday, 8 April.
"Minella Rocco has been taken out of the Grand National. He's absolutely fine and we'll aim him at the Gold Cup again next year," O'Neill said.
"More Of That came out of the Gold Cup well and will now head to Aintree for the National.
"Shutthefrontdoor has also been taken out of the Grand National and will head for the Irish Grand National next month."
There are 79 entries remaining at the latest stage, after 16 horses were withdrawn, with a maximum of 40 allowed to run.
Pendra, after a revised rating, is at 40 with Rogue Angel 41.
Handicapper Phil Smith only expects a few more horses to be pulled out over the next fortnight and believes those at 50 or above in the list are unlikely to make the line-up.


Two Cole Stockton goals put Tranmere in total control of their National League play-off semi-final after a comfortable 3-0 first-leg win at Aldershot.

It did not take long for Rovers to break the deadlock when Jeff Hughes dispossessed James Kellermann deep in the Aldershot half before his low cross found Stockton to fire past Jake Cole in the third minute.
The visitors almost doubled their advantage through Connor Jennings but his effort was superbly blocked by a last-ditch tackle from Callum Reynolds, whilst at the other end, Bernard Mensah rattled the crossbar with goalkeeper Scott Davies well beaten as Rovers took a slender half-time lead.
But Tranmere were 2-0 up shortly after the restart when Cole failed to deal with a simple cross from Liam Ridehalgh, dropping the ball at the feet of striker James Norwood, who tapped into an empty net.
Stockton sealed the victory in the 75th minute with a well-taken finish to double his tally following a swift counter from Norwood, giving Rovers a huge advantage ahead of the return leg on Sunday.

The UK government is failing to take a strong lead in protecting critical systems such as power and water from cyber attack, according to a leading think tank.

Chatham House said there was a reluctance to share information with institutions that might be targeted.
It also criticised those same institutions for putting up with an "unacceptably high level of risk".
The government said that it ranked cyber security as a top priority.
Last year it announced Â£650m of additional funding to help tackle computer-based threats.
Around Â£130m or 20% is specifically earmarked for critical infrastructure projects.
The Chatham House report questions what that money will be used for given that "the vast majority of critical infrastructure in the UK is privately owned."
There have been numerous warnings in recent years about the risk of computerised systems being vulnerable to attack.
The issue received additional prominence following the discovery of the Stuxnet worm which was used to damage systems used in Iran's nuclear programme.
Chatham House's review was based on a series of interviews with senior figures in companies considered to be part of the critical national infrastructure, such as electricity, oil and gas.
Many were searching for guidance, according to the report, but government had failed to create an "authoritative 'big picture'... that could help develop a more comprehensive and urgent sense of the cyber threats that need to be tackled."
It recommends that government assumes an "integral role in shaping the discourse, informing wider society and raising levels of awareness."
The report also contains criticism of the private sector.
With large parts of the UK's infrastructure - such as nuclear and the power grid - being run by private companies, there was an expectation that they would be alert to growing online threats.
The reality was often very different, according to David Clemente, a cyber security researcher at Chatham House.
"Many only pay attention to it after something unpleasant has happened to them or a competitor and they realise they have to pay attention, perhaps throw some money at the problem," said Mr Clemente.
The report urges companies to make cyber security a key component of their risk strategy.
It also warns against cutting corners "in the pursuit of efficiency savings and improved quarterly returns."
In a statement, the Cabinet Office, which looks after the UK's cyber security strategy said: "Closer collaboration between the government and the private sector is crucial to protecting our interests in cyberspace, including critical national infrastructure."
The government is expected to announced a revised cyber security plan next month.


The Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" for fog across parts of eastern Wales on Friday afternoon.

Monmouthshire, Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent, Cardiff, Torfaen, Powys, Newport and Wrexham are affected and the warning is in force until 16:00 GMT.
The Met Office has warned driving conditions will be difficult with "journeys likely to take longer than usual and travel delays possible".
Fog patches means visibility could be less than 100 metres in places.


Dame Lowell Goddard's independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has begun hearing legal submissions about the scope of her investigations into the late Labour peer Lord Janner.

Lord Janner died at the end of last year, shortly after a judge had ruled that the he was not fit to stand trial for alleged child sex offences.
But a leading lawyer has told the BBC he sees "a danger" that the inquiry into Lord Janner's case may contravene the principles of a fair trial.
As part of her wider inquiry, Dame Lowell, who served as a judge in her native New Zealand, will investigate the way public bodies handled child sex abuse claims.
She will be holding further preliminary hearings this month into allegations of child sexual abuse involving the Anglican Church, Lambeth Council and a number of institutions in Rochdale.
The inquiry will consider the prevalence of abuse and the adequacy of child protection policies.
At this stage, though, it will not hear from witnesses.
Instead, Dame Lowell has designated 17 complainants in the case as core participants, giving them access to relevant evidence and the opportunity to make opening and closing statements.
Core participants will be able to ask for particular questions to be put to witnesses by the inquiry panel but they will not be allowed to question the witnesses directly.
In setting out the scope of the investigation, Dame Lowell says she will consider whether or not the allegations against Lord Janner are "well-founded".
It is only if particular allegations meet this test that she will go on to consider whether the various authorities concerned had failed in their responsibilities.
This suggests that she intends to hold what amounts to a trial without a defendant.
Last April, her team said: "If the evidence permits findings of fact to be reached concerning the allegations against Lord Janner, the inquiry will record and publish these findings."
If Lord Janner's criminal trial had gone ahead, prosecutors would have had to prove the allegations against him beyond reasonable doubt.
However, it is thought that the Goddard inquiry will regard the allegations as well-founded if they can be proved on the balance of probabilities - the lesser standard of proof required in civil claims.
Another question for the inquiry is whether witnesses who claim they were abused by Lord Janner should be cross-examined, as they would have been at a criminal trial.
Unless lawyers for the various core participants are willing to challenge the evidence given by individual witnesses, Dame Lowell may have to consider appointing independent lawyers for the purpose.
That's because the inquiry's findings may have a bearing on civil claims being made against the estate of Lord Janner and against the various public bodies that are accused of failing in their safeguarding duties.
Prof Sir Ian Kennedy QC, who chaired the public inquiry into child deaths at Bristol Royal Infirmary which reported in 2001, said there was a danger that Lord Janner's case would become something like a trial.
In an interview for BBC Radio 4's Law in Action he said: "The difficulty is that it can't really be a trial, as we would recognise it, because the person who is centre stage is no longer there.
"And that will pose very difficult questions about tackling the veracity or otherwise of witnesses."
Sir Ian asked whether anyone would represent Lord Janner's interests at the inquiry.
He concluded: "There is a danger, if you convert it into a trial, of it contravening some of the principles which we normally associate with a trial."
Lord Janner's family have always denied the allegations against him.

Consumers could save £2bn if the government rethinks plans for green subsidies, according to the power firm Drax.

The savings would come in part from allowing biomass to be eligible for future subsidies.
The company has converted around half its huge North Yorkshire coal power plant to run on biomass and is concerned about future subsidies.
The government says it is already supporting the biomass industry.
To encourage low carbon power generation, technologies like wind, solar power or biomass are subsidised.
We pay for these green subsidies through our energy bills.
But a new analysis for Drax, by NERA Economic Consulting and Imperial College, found that solar and wind power have other hidden costs, including requiring back-up power generation
It argues that when these hidden costs, or whole system costs, are taken into account, converting coal plants to run on biomass is the most cost-effective renewable generation available at scale.
"Intermittent renewables like wind and solar are vital... but they need to be backed up by a constant supply of electricity that can be flexed up and down," said Dorothy Thompson, chief executive of Drax.
"Opening up energy auctions to include other renewables could save consumers £2bn and with more biomass in the mix energy security is also boosted" she added.
The Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is currently examining the issue of "whole system costs" of different energy technologies.
Responding to a parliamentary question, the Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom said that DECC hoped to complete the work in the first half of 2016.
"Once this project is completed DECC will be able to better quantify system costs to inform policy decisions," she said.
"Any future policy development, such as future renewable support, will be informed by the improved evidence base developed through this project".
But the renewables industry insists that wind and solar power help keep prices low for consumers. And it's sceptical of claims that hidden costs add significant sums to our bills.
"The additional costs of having variable generation on the system are low and for the most part renewable generators already pay these costs," said Renewable UK's director of policy, Dr Gordon Edge.
"If we're going to talk about system costs, then we also need to talk about the undoubted economic benefits that wind generators also bring," he added.
The government is planning three auctions for green subsidies in this parliament.
The first, due later this year, will allow "less established technologies" including offshore wind, wave and tidal stream to compete for contracts.
The technology used by Drax, which involves converting coal plants to burn wood pellets, is not eligible to take part in this auction, although other biomass projects are.
The company is currently awaiting EU state-aid approval for a previous government subsidy contract to convert a third unit at its North Yorkshire plant to run on biomass.
In a statement a DECC spokesman said: "We are already supporting over 5GW of biomass technologies, providing nearly a quarter of our renewable electricity generation.
"We are ensuring a sensible level of support so that we safeguard value for money - keeping bills as low as possible for hardworking families and businesses."

A passer-by who stepped in to stop a woman being assaulted in an Alloa street may have saved her from serious injury, police said.

Officers said the woman was pushed to the ground before being repeatedly kicked to the head and body on Saturday.
The attack happened at 17:00 as the woman walked between Greenfield Street and Sutherland Avenue.
She believes there were four people present but only one assaulted her.
The woman said that the attacker wore blue trainers and a black Adidas tracksuit, but could not provide any more details.
A Forth Valley spokesman said: "However, the assault has been witnessed and indeed halted by a passer-by who has intervened.
"As such the identity of the person responsible is sought as is the witness who perhaps prevented this woman receiving a serious injury."


Everton extended their winning run to four games in the Premier League with a victory over Middlesbrough that sent them second in the table.

A Maarten Stekelenburg own goal, under pressure from Alvaro Negredo, put the visitors ahead at Goodison Park.
But Gareth Barry levelled on his 600th top-flight appearance following a Kevin Mirallas corner three minutes later.
Seamus Coleman's smart finish and a deft Romelu Lukaku touch then wrapped up the points for Everton by half-time.
Both sides threatened little after the break, with Middlesbrough unable to trouble the Toffees and the hosts happy to maintain their unbeaten start.
That record means boss Ronald Koeman, whose side drew on the first day with Tottenham, has enjoyed the best opening five-game spell of any Everton manager in the Premier League.
Follow all the post-match reaction from Goodison Park.
Barry has crept quietly towards 600 Premier League appearances - joining Frank Lampard (609) and Ryan Giggs (632) - but the former England international's role has never been undervalued and the 35-year-old is now enjoying some of the best form of his career under new boss Koeman.
Since making his debut for Aston Villa at the end of the 1997-98 campaign, the versatile midfielder has played at least 30 top-flight games in all but one season and again proved pivotal at Goodison Park.
Goals are rarely part of the package, however, but Barry showed plenty of composure to slot home his second of the season after Mirallas' corner had pin-balled around the Boro box.
At the other end, Barry complemented new signing Idrissa Gueye perfectly in Everton's deep-lying midfield pair.
Barry, booked for an altercation with Gaston Ramirez, broke up several Middlesbrough attacks with Gueye's boundless energy mopping up anything his veteran team-mate might have missed.
He was withdrawn by Koeman with two minutes to go, the home crowd showing their appreciation for the Premier League stalwart.
Middlesbrough's successful promotion bid last season was built on having the Championship's meanest defence, but they had no answer to a rampant Everton on Saturday.
Individual mistakes cost Aitor Karanka's side last week in a defeat by Crystal Palace, and they were sliced open on several occasions on the way to a second successive loss.
It had started so well for the visitors when Negredo rose highest from a deep George Friend delivery to challenge Stekelenburg - watching the keeper drop the ball into his own net.
It may well have been ruled a foul, with the Spaniard appearing to head the goalkeeper's gloves.
Former Manchester City striker Negredo was Karanka's headline-grabbing summer acquisition, but after that contribution to the opener he was unable to trouble the home back four.
Negredo had little to work with as a lone striker, and despite his best attempts to hold up play, the Valencia loanee was unable to link up with playmaker Ramirez.
Uruguayan Ramirez, out of favour when Koeman was in charge of Southampton, was replaced by summer signing Viktor Fischer as Karanka looked to add spark to his attack, but to no avail.
It means Karanka's side are still yet to score in the second half of a Premier League match this season.
Koeman has a wealth of attacking talent at his disposal and the Dutchman showed last week, when he removed Ross Barkley at half-time against Sunderland, that he is willing to chop and change to get the best from those resources.
Barkley, also hoping to force his way back into new England boss Sam Allardyce's squad, looked determined to prove his worth to Koeman at Goodison Park and his quick feet and change of pace caused problems for the visitors' defence.
Koeman seems to be now getting the best from £25m man Bolasie, too, and it was the winger whose teasing, in-swinging cross from the right needed only the slightest of touches from Lukaku to take it past Valdes.
Bolasie's tricks may make his showreel great viewing, but with the likes of Barkley, Mirallas, Gerard Deulofeu and Aaron Lennon for competition he knows he must prove effective in the final third.
Before his assist for Lukaku, the pair combined to release full-back Coleman, who weaved his way off the right flank and across the Middlesbrough penalty area before wrong-footing Valdes with a low, left-footed shot.
Dutchman Koeman will be delighted with his side's attacking performance, but there was cause for concern as Belgium international Lukaku was forced off in the second half with an injury.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman: "It's a good start in terms of points but the most important thing is the way we get the points.
"You see the reaction of the fans - they like it. The team is more aggressive but they need to run more and press more."

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka: "Everton had to play their best to beat us. We started really well but we were a little bit lost in the last 10-15 minutes of the first half.
"I can be happy with the attitude of the team because other teams would have lost five, six or 7-1. We were battling to the end."
Everton host Norwich in the EFL Cup on Tuesday and will then hope to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League when they visit Bournemouth next Saturday.
Middlesbrough entertain Tottenham at the Riverside on Saturday before Aitor Karanka's outfit travel to the London Stadium for the first time to face West Ham.

The NHS lags behind other countries on preventing unnecessary hospital admissions and improving survival rates, a report has suggested.

The review by the Nuffield Trust think tank into 15 wealthy nations found lower cancer survival and higher death rates from heart attacks and strokes.
However, on measures such as immunisation and antibiotic prescribing the UK performed better.
Overall performance was also showing signs of improvement on most measures.
Nuffield Trust chief executive Nigel Edwards said: "Interpreting international data on healthcare systems is notoriously tricky and any comparison should be handled with care.
"However, it is clear from this analysis that the UK can and should do better.
"Our poor performance on cancer survival compared with other leading countries is well-known and continues to be a concern.
"We enter the new parliament with a mountain to climb in reducing preventable hospital admissions and improving survival from common killer diseases, all at a time of continuing austerity affecting public services."
The review looked at 27 different indicators and compared performance from 2000 to 2012.
Among the key findings were:
A Department of Health spokesman said there were still promising signs.
"The report shows we've made significant progress in quality across the board," he said.
"The NHS is already perhaps the most equitable system globally and we are now focusing on tackling preventable conditions like obesity and type two diabetes."
Meanwhile, a separate report by the King's Fund think tank showed a large number of NHS trusts were forecasting deficits.
Nearly two thirds of the 100 trusts which responded said they were likely to be going into the red this year, compared with one in four this time last year.


Twenty-five years after Paul Gascoigne cried his way into the nation's hearts, another England player's tears are again the defining memory of a tournament.

Laura Bassett's heartbreaking own goal in injury-time saw England women suffer a 2-1 defeat by Japan in the Women's World Cup semi-final.
The Notts County defender left the pitch in tears, inconsolable after the Lionesses missed out on their first World Cup final appearance.
But she was not the only one in tears.
Team-mates cried, fans wept and television pundits struggled to compose themselves. Even manager Mark Sampson looked like he had been crying as he walked into the post-match news conference.
But England fans have been here before. Gascoigne's exploits on 4 July 1990 in the World Cup semi-final against West Germany in Turin will live long in the memory.
He had been the star of Italia 90 with his flamboyant skill, incredible ability to take on - and beat his man - and wacky personality.
But he could not stop the tears after a mis-timed lunge on West Germany's Thomas Berthold saw him shown the yellow card that would rule him out of the final, if England got there.
Bobby Robson's England eventually lost 4-3 on penalties with Chris Waddle missing the penalty that Gascoigne had been scheduled to take, but was still too upset to do so.
It did not take long for the comparisons to start between Gascoigne and Bassett's tears, with readers of the BBC Sport live text commentary contributing on Twitter.
Andrew Burton: "I'm old enough to remember the last England World Cup Semi-final in 1990 and Paul Gascoigne's tears. This is worse. Beyond gutted for Bassett."
Gary Koh: "1990 Paul Gascoigne. 2015 Laura Bassett. The tears keep flowing from the English jersey - in such a heart-wrenching manner."
Kendra K: "I hope Bassett's tears will be as iconic as Gascoigne's."
Match of the Day presenter and former England striker Gary Lineker, who was the first to see that Gascoigne was in tears in 1990, tweeted: "What a dreadful way to lose! Poor, poor Laura Bassett. Despite the gut-wrenching nature of the defeat, England's women were terrific and should hold their heads high. Great effort!
Former USA international Landon Donovan said: "Absolutely devastated for Laura Bassett. We all make mistakes and I hope she doesn't let this define her."
England international defender Micah Richards wrote: "Did anyone shed a tear then? Cruel. Well done England."


Flybe is ending its franchise agreement with Scottish airline Loganair.

The move means Glasgow-based Loganair will stop flying under the Flybe brand from 31 August next year.
The Scottish airline operates on lifeline routes between the Scottish mainland and islands, including the Western and Northern isles.
Loganair, which has operated under franchise agreements for 24 years with other airlines, said it will operate in "its own right" from 1 September 2017.
The company, which also operates flights between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee to airports in England, had a franchise agreement with British Airways from 1993 to 2007, and then from later in 2007 with Flybe.
Flybe said its decision followed "a failure to agree future operational standards and commercial arrangements".
Executive chairman Simon Laffin said: "Scotland is very important to Flybe, and we want to ensure that we serve our customers there to the highest standards, whilst delivering a return to our shareholders.
"We shall announce our plans on continuing to serve Scotland in due course.
"In the meantime our customers can travel and book tickets exactly as before, while any new arrangements will be put in place from September 2017 onwards."
Loganair said it was looking forward to operating under its own brand. The company said it was continuing to discuss with Flybe potential opportunities to work together in future.
Peter Simpson, chief executive of Airline Investments Ltd, Loganair's parent company, said: "Today's announcement is a major milestone in the 54-year history of Loganair.
"Although Loganair has flown as a franchise carrier for larger airlines over the last 24 years, there is still a huge level of recognition and affinity for the Loganair name throughout Scotland and beyond.
"We believe the time is right for Scotland's airline to now spread its wings once again, and are delighted to be introducing a bold new corporate identity to accompany this important move."
Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair's managing director, told BBC Radio Scotland that the end of the franchise agreement would not change its route network.
He said Loganair was looking to add services and not being in a franchise would give the company "greater autonomy".
Mr Hinkles said: "The essence of a franchise is that you operate under another airline's brand and you do things their way.
"That hasn't always worked in our environment and while I think the franchise agreement we have had with Flybe over the last 10 years has worked well, there have been a number of elements of that, such as offering child discount fares and free bags to be checked in, that Loganair wishes to offer but don't fit comfortably with the Flybe brand."
Loganair said it would establish its own reservations system by March 2017 for flights on and after that date on its website.
Shetland Islands MSP Tavish Scott said it was a positive announcement.
He said he hoped Loganair could go from "strength to strength" after taking action to respond to criticisms of the reliability of its services.
In March, the airline unveiled the first of its aircraft to be given a revamp as part of improvements to its operations.
Mr Scott said: "I strongly welcome Loganair's decision to fly under its own wings again.
"Flybe may have some advantages but their customer care is raised with me time and time again.
"So Loganair flying as Loganair means travellers know who they are and who is responsible for the service."
He added: "I want to see Loganair go from strength to strength in meeting the needs of island travellers and look forward to working with them on behalf of Shetland."


The Conservatives have defeated independent Kevin Hurley as police and crime commissioner for Surrey.

Former Army major and Surrey County Council chairman David Munro took 100,122 votes including second-preferences.
Mr Hurley, who was standing for re-election as an independent, came second with 57,681 votes.
Counting went into a second round, after Mr Munro led the first round with 35.3%.
He said: "I am delighted in the confidence shown me by Surrey residents and promise to serve them to the best of my ability for the next four years.
"I am particularly looking forward to working with the chief constable and all ranks and staff of Surrey Police in our joint enterprise of serving everyone in Surrey."
Kevin Hurley, outgoing PCC, said: "In my day as a police officer, we used to say 'the public gets the police force they deserve' and in this case, they will get the police force with the budget that they voted for."
Mr Munro campaigned to give Surrey Police a "fresh start" after the force was rated inadequate at protecting vulnerable victims.
He plans to stand down as a county councillor in Farnham.
BBC Surrey political reporter Jack Fiehn said one of Mr Munro's first jobs would be to appoint a permanent chief constable, after Lynn Owens left last year to head the National Crime Agency.
Mr Hurley said in February he had considered seeking her dismissal after inspectors raised concerns about public protection and child safeguarding in Surrey.
During the election campaign, Mr Hurley said he wanted to "batter and break the legs" of a man convicted of a stabbing - comments attacked as "vile" and "irresponsible" by Mr Munro.

Great Britain's Ed McKeever, who won gold at the London 2012 Olympics, has retired from canoe sprint.

The 33-year-old, who was awarded an MBE for his services to the sport in 2013, claimed Olympic gold in the 200m men's single kayak.
However he failed to qualify for the Rio Games, with team-mate Liam Heath making the GB squad and winning gold.
McKeever said winning a gold medal at a home Olympics will "live with me for the rest of my life."
"Very few people get that opportunity so I am extremely grateful for all the support," he said.
"The memory that stands out for me was standing on top of the podium and singing along with the national anthem, especially knowing that my friends and family were there watching."
He became world and European champion in 2010 and won five World Cup series gold medals during his 17-year career and said becoming a father played a part in his decision to retire.
"Having a son four weeks ago means that I want to spend some time at home and realistically you can't also live the life of a full time athlete which is inherently quite a selfish one and doesn't really fit with the life of a parent," he said.
"I want to spend some time with my family and this has been a strong driver for my retirement."


Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh has told lawmakers to introduce legislation to ban child marriage.

Mr Jammeh said anyone marrying a girl aged below 18 would be jailed for up to 20 years.
Speaking at the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations at the end of Ramadan, he said parents and imams who perform the ceremonies would also face prison.
Some 46% of girls in The Gambia get married before they are 18, according to the UN children's agency (Unicef).

Announcing the ban and jail terms, Mr Jammeh said:  "If you want to know whether what I am saying is true or not, try  it tomorrow and see."
In December last year, he also outlawed female genital mutilation (FGM) with a prison sentence of up to three years for those that ignored the ban.
He said the practice had no place in Islam or in modern society.
Three-quarters of women in the mostly Muslim country have had the procedure, according to Unicef.


The government of Malawi has defended a controversial deal it struck with South Korea to export up to 100,000 of its young people as migrant workers.

Opposition MPs in Malawi have called the deal "slave labour".
But the labour minister, struggling to create new job employment opportunities in her own country, has denied that.
Eunice Makangala told the BBC she "just" wanted "to help the young people in Malawi" who are due to leave for Seoul to work.
The BBC's Raphael Tenthani in Blantyre says Malawian President Joyce Banda made an agreement with the government of South Korea on a visit there in February this year.
It involves sending young Malawian men and women aged between 18 and 25 to jobs in factories and on farms on the Korean peninsula, he says.
Accurate unemployment figures in Malawi are hard to compute because of the lack of a national identification system to track those out of a job.
But recent research suggests that 80% of secondary school graduates in Malawi return to their villages every year because they can neither find jobs nor employ themselves.
Nevertheless, opposition MPs in the capital, Lilongwe, are furious about the plan to export labour.
"We always cry about brain-drain and encourage Malawians in the diaspora to come back home and yet here we are exporting the cream of our labour force abroad.  It doesn't make sense at all," Stevyn Kamwendo, for the DPP, told parliament on Tuesday.
Ms Makangala told the BBC she and her government were acting "in good faith".
"It is not modern-day slavery", she said.
"There are people who are working here who are from Egypt, from Nigeria, India and England.
"Do you want to tell me that those people are slaves? And the unemployment rate for the youth here is very high."
But Henry Kachaje, who is an entrepreneurial consultant in Malawi, said the labour export deal could have been better negotiated.
"It would have been more attractive", he said.
"If the government had actually attracted more foreign direct investors here... so that the young people were able to contribute to the social development of this country".


A man accused of murdering his ex-partner told police "it's too late, she's dead" when they found him next to her body, a court has heard.

Miklos Verebes, 29, was found covered in blood in the Carlisle home of Melinda Korosi on 15 September 2016, Carlisle Crown Court heard.
Ms Korosi, 33, died from a "combination of major injuries", prosecutors said.
Mr Verebes denies murder and three charges of raping Ms Korosi between 2012 and 2016.
Miss Korosi was pronounced dead at the scene having suffered severe injuries to her head and neck.
Two pieces of bloodstained rock were found by police at the scene, the court heard.
These were said to have been "capable" of causing the neck injury.
No defensive injuries were found on Miss Korosi's body.
Prosecutors said Mr Verebes told police they were were too late and that Ms Korosi was dead.
The trial continues.


Government leaflets promoting EU membership are an "insult" to voters and will persuade more people to vote to leave, say pro-exit Tory MPs.

Ex-Tory ministers John Redwood and Owen Paterson accused ministers of misusing £9m in public money to fund booklets.
But Europe minister David Lidington said the government had a duty to set out its position and give voters the "facts" ahead of the vote on 23 June.
The government's leaflets are being sent to every home in the UK.
The first batches began arriving at homes in England on Monday with the remainder going to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland after the 5 May devolved elections.
Out campaigners have reacted furiously to the leaflets - which come before strict spending limits kick-in ahead of the 23 June referendum - and more than 200,000 people have signed a petition calling for the leaflets to be scrapped.
Former defence secretary Liam Fox has written to David Cameron to demand that both sides of the EU referendum debate be reflected in the pamphlets,
Fielding questions from MPs in the Commons, Mr Lidington said the leaflets, which work out at "34p per household", were a "reasonable expression" of the government's case for staying in the EU.
He said the government "has not only the right, but a duty to explain to the electorate that when faced with a decision of this gravity the reasons why the government has come to the recommendation that it has done".
He said the pamphlets were "entirely lawful", and added : "Special rules limiting all government publications and communications will apply in the last 28 days of the referendum campaign."
But he was rounded on and heckled by many on his own side, who attacked the government over its decision to spent £9m on the campaign booklets.
Former Welsh Secretary John Redwood said it was "an abuse of public money, an insult to electors and... it's going to drive many more people to vote to leave", while former environment secretary Owen Paterson denounced it as a "crass move" that would "hugely galvanise people who want to leave the EU".
Ex-cabinet minister Liam Fox called it another "dodgy dossier" full of "opinions, assertions and suppositions" and in a reference to European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker added: "It's bad enough that we get junk mail but to have Juncker mail sent to us with our own taxes is the final straw."
Meanwhile, Nigel Evans accused the government of "Robert Mugabe-style antics" in the campaign - which provoked an angry response from the minister who told the MP it was "not his finest moment".
Long-standing Eurosceptic Sir Bill Cash, chairman of the Commons European Scrutiny Committee, had spearheaded a move to block the progress of the Budget in protest at the plans, but it failed after his amendment was not selected for debate.
Criticism of the leaflets and its contents were not confined to the Conservative benches, with Labour MP Kate Hoey - chair of the Vote Leave campaign - saying it was "deeply, deeply unfair" and warning the government that the "public will see through" it.
DUP MP Ian Paisley, meanwhile, said the pamphlets should come with a "very significant health warning", as he contested a number of assertions in the leaflet which he said the government had portrayed as "facts".
Defending the government, Conservative MP Nicholas Soames said: "Outside this incestuous hothouse and under the baleful influence of much of our dismal press, almost all grown-up, sane opinion will want to know what the government's position is and how it intends to present its case."
Labour also gave the government its support, with shadow Europe minister Pat Glass saying the document was "perfectly reasonable" as the government had an "obligation to explain its view".
She claimed Eurosceptic MPs' criticism of the leaflet was an attempt to "silence the arguments for remaining than trying to counter them".
Prime Minister David Cameron has said he would make "no apology" for the leaflets and that there was "nothing to stop the government from setting out its views in advance of the campaign".
Challenged on the plans by students in Exeter last week, he said he wanted every voter to have "all the information at their fingertips" when they go to vote: "I think that is money well spent. It is not... just legal, it is necessary and right."
In his letter to Mr Cameron, Mr Fox said: "The current proposal effectively doubles the budget for the Remain campaign and will offend the natural spirit of fair play that is so much a part of the character of the British people.
"If the government intends to go ahead with this publication, then I suggest you consider correcting the imbalance by allowing the opposite side to include the alternative view."
Downing Street said the campaign followed polling which suggested 85% of people wanted more information from the government to help them make an informed choice.


Northern Ireland produced a heroic performance to defeat Greece and begin a qualifying campaign with three successive wins for the first time.

Beating the top seeds keeps Northern Ireland two points clear at the top of Euro 2016 qualifying Group F, ahead of Romania, whom they visit next month.
Jamie Ward's shot deflected off Loukas Vyntra to put the visitors ahead.
And, after half-time, Kyle Lafferty ran clear and fired home a low shot from the edge of the area to seal victory.
It was a sublime finish from the Norwich City striker, who has now scored in each of the opening three qualifiers against Hungary, the Faroe Islands and Greece to take his tally of international goals to 12.
Northern Ireland began brightly as they attempted to extend their 100% record and Ward's ninth-minute opener was just reward for their endeavour.

Greece, who had garnered only one point from their opening two matches, began to enjoy more possession, but a poor final ball let them down on too many occasions.
Nikos Karelis threatened in the 33rd minute as he burst through on goal and lifted the ball over advancing goalkeeper Roy Carroll, but his effort went well wide of the post.
Just before the interval, Lafferty latched onto an incisive Chris Baird pass, ran down the left wing and powered past a defender, before unleashing a fierce shot which cannoned off the underside of the bar.
The big forward made no mistake six minutes after the break as the visitors executed a fine breakaway goal, which secured only their second ever success over Greece, the previous triumph coming in a World Cup qualifier in October 1961.
The struggling hosts, European Championship winners in 2004, carved out only one notable chance in the second half, but Panagiotis Tachtsidis saw his curling left-foot shot pushed round the post by former Olympiakos keeper Carroll.
The result leaves Greece manager Claudio Ranieri still looking for the first win of his tenure as his side struggle to find the form which reflects their world ranking of 14 and saw them reach the last 16 of the World Cup in Brazil.
Northern Ireland had lost four of their last five fixtures against Greece, but Michael O'Neill's side now head to Romania with plenty of confidence and momentum as they seek to qualify for a European Championship for the first time and for their first tournament since the 1986 World Cup finals.

Glenavon player-manager Gary Hamilton came off the bench to rescue a point for his side in Tuesday's Irish Premiership match at Ferney Park.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Hamilton brought himself on as a sub after Joshua McIlwaine had headed his third goal in two games to give Ballinamallard a 75th-minute lead.
The Mallards, 10th in the table, wasted a couple of chances to secure a fourth win in six league matches.
Glenavon equalised when Hamilton's deflected shot beat Richard Brush.
The visitors remain sixth in the table, and are six points behind the team in fifth, Coleraine.
Ballinamallard manager Gavin Dykes: "When you go 1-0 up in a game you look to try to hold on to that.
"We missed a couple of chances and their keeper made a couple of great saves, but we were hanging on towards the end and our keeper made a couple of saves as well.
"It is another point on the board, we keep our wee run going and we are happy with that.
"Young Niall showed his quality, getting past a man and putting over a wonderful ball for the goal and he was unlucky he didn't score himself.
"He is a great kid and is a star in the making."
Glenavon player-manager Gay Hamilton: "At one stage it looked like we were not going to get back. For all the possession we had, we did not do enough in terms of end product.
"Ballinamallard scored a good goal and could have had another but for a great save by Jonny Tuffey.
"We went three at the back to try to get something and in the end the game could have gone either way and a draw was fair."


The only vaccine to protect against a deadly form of meningitis should not be introduced in the UK, the body that advises governments on immunisation says.

About 1,870 people contract meningitis B each year and one in 10 dies.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said the vaccine, Bexsero, was not cost-effective and should not yet be adopted by the NHS.
Meningitis charities have been campaigning for it to be introduced.
It is mostly children under five who are at risk from the bacterial infection, which leads to inflammations of the brain and spinal cord.
Of those who survive a meningitis B infection, one in four is left with life altering after-effects such as brain damage or limb loss.
There are vaccines against other forms of meningitis, but the jab developed by Novartis is the only one thought to protect against meningitis B.
Tests have suggested the vaccine is effective against 73% of the different strains of the disease. It was licensed for use in Europe in January 2013.
However, there are questions about the effectiveness as very large trials would be needed to show how it affects the number of cases or how it would control the spread of the bacterium. So far no country has introduced the vaccine.
The JCVI said: "On the basis of the available evidence, routine infant or toddler immunisation using Bexsero is highly unlikely to be cost effective at any vaccine price based on the accepted threshold for cost effectiveness used in the UK and could not be recommended."
Prof David Salisbury, the director of immunisation at the Department of Health, said: "This is a very difficult situation where we have a new vaccine against meningitis B but we lack important evidence.
"We need to know how well it will protect, how long it will protect and if it will stop the bacteria from spreading from person to person.
"We need to work with the scientific community and the manufacturer to find ways to resolve these uncertainties so that we can come to a clear answer."
The UK introduced a vaccine against another form of the disease, meningitis C, in 1999. There used to be around 1,000 cases a year, but now the disease affects only a handful of people.
Tilly Lockey, from County Durham, had meningitis B. Her mum Sarah supports the introduction of a vaccine after her family's experience.
She told the BBC: "She was just suddenly crying out for me `mummy, mummy, mummy' to being blue grey mottled skin, to just going unconscious and me thinking I'm her mam I just want to look after her, I'm supposed to protect her and there's nothing, nothing I can do to save her at the moment.
"All I could do was pass her over to the hospital and hope to god they would save my little girl."
Chris Head, the head of the Meningitis Research Foundation, said: "Today's news is a severe blow for everyone campaigning against this dreadful disease. We know every delay costs lives and leaves many more with life-long disabilities.
By Fergus WalshMedical correspondent
Putting a price on saving lives
"The UK's child mortality rates are amongst the highest in Europe. We simply cannot afford to let this licensed vaccine hang in limbo any longer.
"There is a tiny window of opportunity over the holiday season to encourage a change of heart and we are urging our members and supporters to lobby their MPs while we submit yet more, potent arguments to the JCVI on why this vaccine is vital."
Sue Davie, the chief executive of the Meningitis Trust and Meningitis UK, said: "This is extremely disappointing news after all our supporters and our hard work over decades to introduce a vaccine.
"We understand the committee's concerns about impact and cost, but we believe this vaccine is safe and we know it will save lives. The more we delay the more lives are being lost."


Nitish Kumar has taken oath as the chief minister of the northern Indian state of Bihar, a day after resigning from the post.

Mr Kumar said on Wednesday that he had to resign because of corruption probes against the leaders of his alliance partner, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
Mr Kumar has found a new partner in PM Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which he defeated in 2015 in a bitterly contested state election.
The RJD has accused him of "betrayal".
Former federal minister Laloo Prasad Yadav, who leads the RJD, said Mr Kumar had colluded with the BJP to tarnish his party's image.
Mr Yadav and his son Tejaswi, who was the deputy chief minister in Mr Kumar's government, are being investigated for corruption by India's Central Bureau of Investigation.
They have denied any wrongdoing.
Mr Kumar told reporters that he had a "zero tolerance" policy on corruption, and had asked his deputy to explain the charges against him to the public.
He added that Mr Yadav refused to follow his advice.
Mr Kumar's new stint also marks his return to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
He had quit the NDA in 2013 citing differences with the BJP's decision to announce Mr Modi as its prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 general elections.
