Lib Dem leader Tim Farron says the UK doesn't have "any chance" of getting a better deal from Brexit talks than it has now as a full member of the EU.

He said he "respected" the outcome of last year's EU referendum but wanted to give people a second vote on the terms of any Brexit deal.
Asked whether he would campaign to stay in the EU in that referendum, he said: "Let's look at the deal."
But he could not "imagine a deal that is better than the one we've got now".
He was speaking to the BBC's Andrew Neil in a half hour interview to be shown on BBC One at 19:00 BST. It is the fifth and final Andrew Neil leader interview of this election.
In an occasionally testy encounter, Mr Farron said: "I do respect the outcome of the referendum and I, nevertheless, feel a sense of real concern that in this country if you stand by your principles, if you question whether Theresa May is making the right choices, and Jeremy Corbyn of course backed her in that, then you are dismissed as a saboteur or a Remoaner."
Mr Farron, who has sought to position his party as the voice of the 48% who voted against Brexit in last year's referendum, has said he wants to "double" the number of MPs his party has from its current nine, so it can better hold the government to account.
Pressed on whether his real agenda was to overturn the result of last year's Brexit vote, he said the British people should be given the right to either accept the divorce deal "and in that case we leave the European Union on the 1 April 2019" or to "reject it and remain".
But he could not "see any chance of us getting a better deal than the one we have now".
He added: "The deal we have now is membership most fundamentally of the single market, and then we have the opt-outs. We have the fact that we have the rebate, we have exemption from Schengen (the passport-free zone). We don't have open borders."
Turning to other issues, Mr Farron defended his party's call for curbs on surveillance powers used by the police and security services, saying: "We need to make sure that we don't have knee-jerk responses to the kind of outrage that we had last Monday."
He also defended his party's call to legalise cannabis.
He said that as a parent he did not want his children to take the drug but the policy was based on expert evidence that regulating and controlling it could reduce harm.
"I wouldn't propose to do something controversial like this if the evidence didn't suggest that all of our children would be more safe than they currently are and the criminal gangs under more threat then they currently are. Let's follow the evidence," he told Andrew Neil.
The Lib Dem leader ruled out a coalition with other parties after the election, saying the "biggest issue of the day" was access to the EU single market and he could not do a deal with Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn because of their views on it.
But Conservative International Development Secretary Priti Patel claimed Mr Farron "would prop up  Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister".
She said: "Now we know what that means: disruption in the Brexit negotiations because he wants to stay in the EU, a less secure nation because he'd take powers away from the security services, and higher taxes hitting 30 million ordinary workers in the pocket."


Targets for cancer waiting times have again been missed in Northern Ireland.

Between April and June only 70% of patients with an urgent GP referral for suspected cancer started their treatment within 62 days.
The government target is 95%. All health trusts missed the target last quarter.
The figures also show a sharp fall in the number of women first seen within 14 days of an urgent referral for suspected breast cancer.
Only 64%  - 916 of the 1,433 referred patients - were seen within the time limit in June, down from about 80% in June 2015.
Some 9,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in Northern Ireland each year, with incidence rates going up by 11% over the last decade.
Cancer Research UK said the figures showed cancer services are not coping.
"With the number of people being diagnosed with cancer on the increase, the way services are currently organised is not sustainable," said Margaret Carr from the charity.
"This is why a new cancer plan that sets out a long-term vision and identifies priorities and where to target resources, is needed.
"Now is the time to set out new ambitions for cancer in Northern Ireland, along with details of how these goals will be achieved."


Spain's ruling conservative party is alleged to have operated a slush fund from which Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and others benefited.

Mr Rajoy and his Popular Party (PP) have denied any wrongdoing.
Here BBC News looks at key players in the affair.
Served as party treasurer from 1990 to 2009. Between 1990 and 2004, the Popular Party dominated politics under Jose Maria Aznar, and Spain underwent a construction boom.
Mr Barcenas stepped down after being implicated in a separate case known as the Gurtel scandal, where he is accused of tax fraud and receiving illegal payments.
During the Gurtel investigation it emerged he had held bank accounts in Switzerland containing as much as 48m euros (Â£42m; $62m). The PP denied any link to the accounts.
When El Pais newspaper published handwritten ledgers attributed to him in January 2013, sparking the current scandal, he described the report as "false" but after another newspaper, El Mundo, published an original page from one of the ledgers, he admitted that the handwriting was his.
He now says he made numerous bonus payments - in cash - to Mr Rajoy and other senior party members, from a fund of donations from businesses.
Mr Rajoy and other PP members deny receiving illegal payments and accuse Mr Barcenas of trying to blackmail them.
He was placed in custody in June ahead of a trial for tax evasion. He denies wrongdoing.
Regarded by EU leaders as a safe pair of hands for Spain as it struggles to revive its economy, the PP leader has refused to resign over the scandal.
A career politician, he was first elected in 1981, as a regional deputy, at the age of 26.
He joined Mr Aznar's conservative government in 1996, taking various posts before ending up as interior minister.  Succeeding Mr Aznar as party leader, he led the Popular Party back into power in 2011, after failing at two previous attempts.
According to El Pais, Mr Rajoy received an annual sum of 25,200 euros (Â£22,000; $34,000) between 1997 and 2008 from the alleged slush fund. He denies receiving any secret payments.
El Mundo published friendly text messages apparently sent to Mr Barcenas by Mr Rajoy. One of the messages, dated 18 January 2013 - after the slush fund allegations first broke - says "Luis, I understand. Stay strong. I'll call you tomorrow. A hug."
Mr Rajoy has told parliament he made a mistake in trusting Mr Barcenas and promised clarifications about the scandal.
Perhaps the most prominent of the dozen or so other figures named in the ledgers, she is the party's deputy leader.
Achieved a breakthrough in regional elections in 2011, when she was elected president of the central Castile-La Mancha region - the first time the Popular Party gained control there.
When news of the ledgers broke, she told reporters all payments to party leaders had been clean and legal.
"We have only one set of books and they are clean," she said. "We have absolutely nothing to hide."
She has been summoned to appear before investigating judge Pablo Ruz on 14 August.
Succeeded controversial investigating judge Baltasar Garzon at the high court in 2010.
Has been leading the Gurtel investigation into Mr Barcenas and is likely to lead the "slush fund" investigation, if anti-corruption prosecutors decide that one is warranted.
Judge Ruz has dealt with some of Spain's most notable recent international cases.
In 2012, he indicted seven former members of the Chilean secret police for their alleged role in the kidnapping and murder of a Spanish diplomat during Chile's military rule.
He also indicted two Russians on terror charges.
Broke the ledgers story on 31 January, splashing the headline "The secret papers of Barcenas".
Its editor, Javier Moreno, has reportedly since handed the documents over to prosecutors.
As the traditional paper of the Spanish left, it is viewed with suspicion by the Popular Party.
The Barcenas scoop came days after an embarrassing blunder, when the paper published a fake photo of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in hospital.
Reinforced the allegations in El Pais by publishing original ledger entries by Mr Barcenas, detailing secret payments.
El Mundo said the documents it had seen show that Mr Rajoy received payments in 1997, 1998 and 1999 when he was a minister in the Aznar government - payments that were undeclared and untaxed.
The paper also published the friendly text messages to Mr Barcenas from Mr Rajoy.
It is significant that even journalists in Spain's conservative press believe the scandal has damaged the image of the prime minister and his party.


Taylor Swift is seeking to trademark the word "Swiftmas" and "1989", the name of her album, in the US.

It is the 25-year-old's latest attempt to stop others from using phrases associated with her on merchandise.
"Swiftmas" is the word the singer's fans use to describe the random acts of kindness she makes, such as giving them unexpected presents.
Earlier this year Swift applied to trademark some of her song lyrics such as "this sick beat".
The pop star submitted her requests to the US Patent and Trademark Office on 3 December.
In her latest bid, the singer has added the song title "Blank Space" and lyric "And I'll write your name" to the list of applications.
The application for 1989 only applies to the date presented in a "stylised form" - imitating Swift's album cover.
She also wants to trademark the phrase "A girl named girl" which is reported to be the title of an unpublished book.
Her name, signature and initials have already received trademark protection.
'Publicity stunt'
If granted, the trademark would stop others from using the phrases on items such as clothing, stickers, bags and other merchandise.
Fiona McBride, a trademark lawyer at Withers & Rogers, told the BBC Swift's latest bid may not be successful.
"While she may well be granted protection for a stylised use of the number 1989 on her album and distinctive terms such as "Swiftmas", it will be very difficult to completely monopolise a song lyric and prevent others from using it," she said.
"To be granted trademark protection, brand owners need to prove a term or image is unique to their identity. 1989 as part of a stylised logo or script on Taylor Swift's album cover is iconic and in that format, is easily recognisable as individual to her music.
"'Swiftmas' is also a distinct term that she could achieve successful registration for as it is unique to her name and brand.
"On the other hand, her attempts to trademark song lyrics are no more than a publicity stunt."
Ms McBride added it would be more difficult to obtain trademark protection in the EU market.


The US economy grew faster than initially estimated in the final months of 2016, the latest figures show.

The economy grew at an annualised pace of 2.1% in the fourth quarter of the year, the Commerce Department said, up from an earlier estimate of 1.9%.
Consumer spending, which accounts for around two-thirds of US economic activity, was stronger than initially thought, the report showed.
But the economy still slowed from third quarter growth of 3.5%.
And the revision did not alter the growth rate for the whole of 2016, which remained at 1.6% - the slowest since 2011.
The sluggish growth will make it more difficult for President Donald Trump to meet his pledge to lift GDP growth to 4%, through tax cuts and infrastructure spending.
The last time that America's economy grew at that rate was in 2000, the year of the dotcom boom, when it expanded by 4.1%.
"Many leading economists argue that current GDP expansion rates are the 'new normal' and therefore, today's figures should be seen as fairly robust," commented Dennis de Jong from UFX.com.
"Whether the President or the economic consensus is right remains to be seen, but in general the US economy appears to be in good shape, buoyed by strong consumer confidence and positive job figures over recent weeks."


Rich countries are set to meet in Berlin to pledge cash to smooth the way for a global climate change deal.

The Green Climate Fund is designed to help poor nations adapt to climate extremes like droughts and floods and to buy low-carbon energy sources.
Rich nations previously vowed that by 2020, developing countries would get $100bn (Â£64bn) a year from such a fund.
The Berlin conference aims to create a focus that will embarrass governments to come forward with contributions.
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is supposed to hold at least $10bn by the end of 2014.
The US has pledged $3bn, Japan has offered $1.5bn, and France and Germany have also offered significant sums.
It is thought that the UK will pledge around $1bn from existing aid budgets.
The UK's contribution will come out of the Â£3.87bn budget set aside in the aid budget from 2011-2016 for helping poor countries get clean energy and adapt to climate change.
In Bangladesh for example, British cash is helping landless people living in precarious temporary sandbanks that appear for a few years in the middle of rivers.
The cash pays them to build their homes on earth platforms so their possessions are safe from flooding which is expected to get worse with climate change.
UK aid experts say the river-dwellers are so poor that if they do not get paid daily they cannot eat - and if they do not eat they have no energy to build the platforms.
"The poorest and most vulnerable on the planet are already suffering the effects of climate change and it's our moral duty to act," UK Secretary of State for Climate Change Ed Davey told the BBC.
He said the aid could save lives by protecting low-lying islands and coastal settlements from the impact of rising sea levels and helping farmers hit by the weather effects of climate change.
"I urge other countries to be equally ambitious," he added.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has been under pressure from critics who say the UK should spend the money helping combat the effects of extreme weather at home.
Benny Peiser from GWPF said international climate finance for low carbon development was "a detrimental use of aid money".
"The international community should be encouraging the development of the cheapest forms of electricity generation that offer populations in the developing world the best chances of escaping poverty," he said.
The fund was agreed because developed nations have caused the majority of global warming so far - and their CO2 emissions stay in the atmosphere for 100 years. Poor countries asked for help to adapt to climate change they have not caused.
As greenhouse gas emissions are a global problem, rich nations acknowledged a degree of self-interest in helping developing countries to invest in clean technology too.
Asad Rehman from Friends of the Earth said: "Helping poorer nations to develop their economies cleanly and without wrecking our atmosphere is in all of our interests. As one of the nations most responsible for historic carbon dioxide emissions, the UK should be taking a lead in tackling climate change."
But he said the UK's pledge was "a drop in the ocean compared to what is desperately needed".
"Britain's contribution must also be new and additional money - not raided from existing aid pledges. Some of it should come from the hundreds of millions of pounds they hand over every year to dirty energy corporations," he added.
The middle income countries of Korea, Indonesia and Mexico have made voluntary contributions to the pot - Korea has pledged $100m. The climate-sceptic Australian government says it will not commit money.
Pa Ousman Jarju, Gambia's environment minister, said he wanted to hear significant pledges come out of Berlin.
"We expect a minimum of $15bn to come out of the pledging conference. We are glad that, with the recent US and Japan pledges, it has reached around $7.5bn," he said.
There has already been acrimony over the tardy contributions from some rich nations - and Mr Jarju warned mistrust would increase if rich countries failed to make proper contributions.
Rich nations and poor alike need each other if the world is to reach a global climate agreement scheduled for Paris next December.
Update 13 January 2015: An earlier version of this article described the GWPF as a "fossil fuel lobby group". While we do not believe this would have been understood to mean that either the Global Warming Policy Foundation or Forum lobbies on behalf of the fossil fuel industry and/or is funded by it, the Foundation has told us that both it and the Forum are strictly independent of the fossil fuel industry and we are happy to make this clear.


Nottingham Forest deservedly beat Middlesbrough to make it three wins from four Championship matches.

Barrie McKay opened the scoring when he slotted past goalkeeper Darren Randolph from Kieran Dowell's through ball.
Britt Assombalonga, who left Forest for Boro in July, missed twice before Ben Gibson's push on Ben Brereton allowed Daryl Murphy to score from the spot.
Gibson stabbed in from a corner to make it 2-1 with seven minutes remaining, but Mark Warbuton's side held on.
Middlesbrough travelled to the City Ground having kept just one clean sheet in their past 21 league visits and Assombalonga's profligacy in front of goal did not make up for their leaky defence.
Assombalonga left Forest for a club record £15m after scoring 14 goals last season, but he was guilty of poor finishing on return to his old home.
The 24-year-old striker fired two one-on-one opportunities wide, while goalkeeper Jordan Smith also made saves from him and another ex-Forest forward Patrick Bamford.
By contrast, Forest took their chances, with summer signing McKay keeping his head and Murphy converting from the spot as the hosts netted two of their three shots on target.
Nottingham Forest manager Mark Warburton:
"I thought we were very good. We deserved the lead we got from a well-taken goal.
"Middlesbrough are a very strong outfit. They have many Premier League players so, overall, this was a tremendous performance.
"We will take it one game at a time. It doesn't raise expectations."
Middlesbrough manager Garry Monk:
"I can't criticise any of my players today. After the first 25 minutes we got to grips with them and we created some good chances of our own.
"I feel for the players in terms of how we came off the pitch with no points.
"If we played that game again tomorrow we would probably win it with the number of chances we had. We were not clinical enough."

Missing Blackpool teenager Paige Chivers has been officially declared dead following an inquest.

Paige, 15, was reported missing in 2007. Her body has not been found.
Blackpool's coroner Alan Wilson said the cause of death was unascertained and he recorded a conclusion of unlawful killing.
Robert Ewing, 60, of Kincraig Place, Bispham, was convicted of Paige's murder last July following a trial at Preston Crown Court.
The court heard Ewing exploited the vulnerable teenager for his sexual gratification and then decided to silence her when she threatened to go to the authorities.
He is serving a life term and will stay in jail for at least 33 years.
Gareth Dewhurst, 46, of Duncan Avenue, Bispham, who was found guilty of helping dispose of the body, was jailed for eight years.
Police say they "remain committed" to finding Paige's body.


Choirmaster Gareth Malone has enjoyed huge success with shows like The Choir and its offshoots like Military Wives, Sing While You Work and The Big Performance on CBBC.

His new BBC Two show The Naked Choir focuses on a capella groups. But rather than being complete novices, the singers are all amateur and will compose their own arrangements.
Malone tells the BBC why his shows have worked and why the BBC should continue making more like them.
Sadly I am not taking my clothes off, it's about the naked human voice. All of the groups are singing without instruments, which is a very exposing musical challenge because everything can be heard.
You can't cover it or hide amongst the backing music as happens in a lot of music forms, where you can hardy hear the vocals because they're so lost in the mix.
I think the big thing has been the internet. Singing is one of those forms where it feels very real, you're just hearing human voices and I think people are very wise to auto-tune and production techniques.
It's quite amazing to hear sounds recreated naturally by the human voice and it lends itself very well to online videos. Also, it's just very impressive to watch people, the "wow" factor of watching somebody doing the sound of a synthesizer or kick drum, whatever it might be.
You can never really judge a book by its cover with a voice. Obviously, there are things that help you tell if someone is British or French and you can have expectations of the sounds they're going to make. But you never know what that instrument will be like. That's just genetics, so that's always a surprise and it's always interesting and a challenge to see if you can push them.
It's more of a challenge for the participants because the challenge for me is to find interesting ways to challenge and push them musically. It's about making those groups better than they are at the beginning, in the same way that would happen on Great British Bake Off, you want to see amazing cakes by the end. the standard of performances gets better because I push them really hard. The standard is higher because they are people who consider themselves singers albeit not professionally.
Its certainly not classical, or choral, they are mostly contemporary. But by that, I include Elvis, Buddy Holly, Electric Light Orchestra, Little Mix, 90s dance records. A whole plethora of different musical styles but broadly speaking contemporary pop.
I feel like singing is always interesting, there is never going to be a time when people are tired of it, it's a natural response to the human voice and we've tried to change it as much as possible. I don't like doing the same thing twice. This is something new and fresh, it still includes singing and people developing, and the funny things that happen along the way. they are real stories if people really learn something. and that's part of the appeal, I don't think it needs sexing up for television
Absolutely, they're so counter-intuitive. I suppose you would expect me to be a fan of the BBC because I'm on it, but I've always been a fan of the BBC. When my first series was mooted, I was delighted. So, yeah it definitely is a place where you can try these unusual ideas and find an audience for them.
I think the first series of The Choir, absolutely nobody saw that coming, which is wonderful. You can't be creative to a plan.
Did Armando Iannucci hit the nail on the head delivering the MacTaggart address at the Edinburgh TV festival when he said about British TV: "I love it that we think nothing of the fact that a show about baking is a key part of our primetime viewing. Or shows about antiques, or family trees, or polar bears"?
Bake Off had 10 million viewers the other day, for people baking cakes. It's alchemy, it's about so many different ingredients. It's always nerve-wracking at this stage, when it's done but nobody's seen it. It's always a terrifying moment of thinking: 'I wonder if people will like this one? Is it too different? Will people be interested in a capella?' I'm very passionate about it. I loved making it and I'm really pleased with it.
It always hideous, always hideous when my friends sing to me. Deliberately badly.


Newport County have signed winger Lamar Reynolds on a two-year contract.

Reynolds, 21, spent last season with Brentwood Town, scoring 28 goals and is a product of Leicester and England strike Jamie Vardy's V9 Academy.
"I'm really pleased Lamar has decided to sign. I know a lot of teams were interested in him over the summer," manager Mike Flynn said.
"A few clubs were interested in me, but Newport showed the most interest. I am delighted to join," Reynolds said.
"The gaffer was also a big factor in signing after seeing what he did at the end of last season. I see a bright future for me with this club."

Authorities in India have issued a dress code for candidates who are retaking a medical school exam.

Last month, the Supreme Court ordered more than 600,000 students to retake the exam after they found that the question paper had been leaked.
Candidates have been told to wear light clothes with half-sleeves, and shirts that do not have big buttons.
They cannot wear earrings and carry calculators, pens, handbags and wallets.
Shoes have also been discarded in favour of open slippers.
In India students cheating in exams have been often found concealing Bluetooth devices and mobile SIM cards that have been stitched to their shirts.
Over the past few years, a number of candidates have also been caught using small earphones, stitched button-hole cameras and micro earplugs.
Also, pens that can scan question papers and transmit the images outside using small Bluetooth devices are also being used.
Some of the devices are used to transmit questions outside the examination hall to professionals who then relay back the answers.
The dress code is aimed at eliminating some of the more obvious hiding places for such gadgets.
The latest guidelines following national outrage over a massive medical school admissions examination scandal involving thousands of arrests and many mysterious deaths.


The winners of this year's Funny Women awards, a launch pad for female comics since 2003, have been announced.

Harriet Braine, a 25-year-old archive assistant, won the Â£2,000 stage award, while self-confessed "comedy nerd" Carol Walsh won the writing prize.
Carolyn Goodyear, an actress who "fell into" writing, won the event's shorts award with her short film Ambition.
Katherine Ryan, Sara Pascoe and Sarah Millican are among the comedians to have been recognised in previous years.
Ryan beat Pascoe to be crowned winner in 2008, while Millican was a runner-up in 2005.
Other previous participants include Susan Calman and Diane Morgan, known to many as Philomena Cunk on Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe.
More than 400 hopefuls bid for this year's stage award, which involved 24 heats ahead of Wednesday's final at Koko in north London.
Each of the six finalists was paired with a celebrity comedian mentor, with Ellie Taylor doing the honours for the eventual winner.
Braine, who comes from Kingston-upon-Thames, was also a finalist in this year's So You Think You're Funny competition.
Walsh, meanwhile, won her Â£2,000 prize for three sample scenes from a TV comedy script called Savages.

A landmark temporary truce has come into effect in Syria.

If the "cessation of hostilities" holds it would be the first time a pause in Syria's five-year civil war has been negotiated by world powers.
In the run-up to the midnight (22:00 GMT) deadline, US President Barack Obama warned the Syrian government and Russia "the world will be watching".
Russian jets were reported to have intensified attacks on Syrian rebel positions on Friday.
Meanwhile, the UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura has announced that peace talks will resume on 7 March if the truce "largely holds".
Mr de Mistura said he had no doubt "there will be no shortage of attempts to undermine this process".
"This will remain a complicated, painstaking process," he told the UN Security Council via videoconference from Geneva.
But he added: "Nothing is impossible, especially at this moment."
Previous talks in Geneva collapsed in early February after making no progress.
The UN Security Council also unanimously adopted a resolution drafted by the US and Russia that endorsed the truce agreement.
It urges all sides to "use their influence with the parties to the cessation of hostilities to ensure fulfilment of those commitments".
One of the key aims of the cessation - brokered by the US and Russia - is to allow desperately needed aid to reach people trapped in besieged areas.
The UN resolution names about 30 areas in dire need of aid, including eastern and western rural Aleppo and the eastern city of Deir al-Zour, which is under siege by so-called Islamic State (IS) jihadists.
The truce involves government and rebel forces - but not IS or the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front. On Friday, Nusra Front urged its supporters to intensify attacks against President Bashar al-Assad and his allies.
Almost 100 rebel factions have agreed to respect the truce, Syrian opposition umbrella group the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) said.
The HNC warned the Syrian government and its allies not to use the "proposed text to continue the hostile operations against the opposition factions under the excuse of fighting terrorism".
Russian President Vladimir Putin said his forces were targeting IS, Nusra Front and other extremist groups designated as legitimate targets by the UN Security Council.
However, Russia is widely accused of also attacking more moderate rebel groups fighting President Assad, an ally of the Kremlin.
President Obama said the success of the cessation would depend on whether warring parties including the Syrian government, Russia and their allies lived up to their commitments.
Attacks needed to end, he said, and humanitarian aid had to be allowed through to desperate civilians.
"The coming days will be critical and the world will be watching," he added.
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed in Syria's civil war and millions more have been forced from their homes.


Indian drinks baron Vijay Mallya has tweeted he has "not absconded" from India and will "comply" with the law.

Speculation rose about his whereabouts after a consortium of banks and creditors approached the Supreme Court over $1.4bn (Â£980m) in unpaid debts.
They demanded that his passport be impounded, and a $75m (Â£53m) severance pay he was to receive from Diageo be blocked and used to repay them.
The payout was blocked, but it emerged that Mr Mallya had already left India.
The issue caused an uproar in India with opposition MPs accusing the government of allowing the flamboyant businessman to leave the country.
But Mr Mallya insisted that he "did not flee from India", and also criticised his "media trial" over the issue.
Media reports say Mr Mallya is currently living in London.
Opposition MPs have demanded that the government should bring him back to face the law.
Mr Mallya, who is a household name in India, sold a large chunk of United Spirits, which he inherited from his father, to Diageo in April 2014.
He was to receive the $75m payout as settlement after being ousted from the firm in February.
Mr Mallya, once dubbed by Indian media as "India's Richard Branson" and the "King of Good Times" for his lavish lifestyle also owns a stake in the Formula One team Force India.


A book about a penguin who flies to the tropics with the aid of a kite has been named the overall winner of the 2015 Waterstones Children's Book Prize.

Blown Away, by Rob Biddulph, is only the second picture book to win the Â£5,000 prize in its 11-year history.
Biddulph's story was named the year's best illustrated book before going on to be named overall winner.
Two other titles won Â£2,000 each after winning awards for younger and teenage fiction respectively.
The award for best younger fiction went to Robin Stevens' Murder Most Ladylike, in which two boarding school girls investigate the murder of a teacher.
Cambridge-based Stevens has already written a sequel, Arsenic for Tea, with a third instalment, First Class Murder, due out in July.
The best book for teenagers prize went to Sally Green's Half Bad, the first part of a fantasy trilogy about warring clans of witches.
Green, a former accountant based in Warrington, published the second instalment, Half Wild, this week.
The winners were announced on Thursday ay Waterstones' Piccadilly bookshop in central London.
Biddulph, the Observer magazine's art director, was recognised for his debut novel, as were Stevens and Green.
James Daunt, Waterstones' managing director, said it was "particularly exciting" to see children's books, his company's "engine of sales growth... driven by debuts of such calibre".

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has warned US President Donald Trump he risks political suicide if he scraps the nuclear deal with Tehran.

At his swearing-in ceremony, Mr Rouhani said Iran would continue to abide by the terms of the deal as long as the other signatories do the same.
The White House says Iran is complying with the deal but Mr Trump says Iran is violating its spirit.
Last month the US state department announced new sanctions on the country.
The US says the sanctions relate to Iran's missile programme and alleged support for terror groups but Tehran says they violate the nuclear deal.
Mr Rouhani - being sworn in for a second term after winning presidential elections in May - said he had nothing to do with "newcomers to the world of politics" and urged "old-timers" to see the nuclear deal as an example of how to manage international relations.
"Those who want to tear apart the JCPOA [nuclear deal] should know that they would also be tearing apart their political life," he said in a ceremony broadcast live on state TV.
He accused the US of a "lack of commitment" to the deal and said it was an "unreliable partner".
Meanwhile Iranian officials have been urging Europe not to side with the Trump administration.
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said Mr Trump was "trying to destroy the nuclear accord at Iran's expense" and said "Europe should be conscious of this", private Tasnim news agency said.
Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, asked Europe to "take a more independent policy towards Iran", state media reported.
Mr Rouhani won 57% of the vote in May's election after promising to create jobs and build bridges with the outside world.
In Iran the ultimate power lies with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He has been ruling the country for nearly three decades, increasingly like an absolute monarch.
Constitutionally he has power to lay down the general guidelines. He is commander-in-chief with the power to declare war or peace and appoint all the top generals, as well as the head of the judiciary.
Informally he has been demanding to approve ministers in several key ministries. All this leaves little to the president.
But the supreme leader is not elected - he is chosen by a group of clergymen. In May, nearly 24m people voted for Mr Rouhani - a source of power that the hardliners, even the supreme leader, cannot ignore.
Dozens of world dignitaries attended Mr Rouhani's inauguration at Iran's parliament, reflecting an easing in Iran's isolation since the nuclear deal.
Guests included EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and the chairman of the North Korean parliament, Kim Yong-nam, signalling a growing closeness between Tehran and Pyongyang particularly over defence matters.
Last month, the US state department accused Iran of undermining stability, security and prosperity in the Middle East.
It criticised Iran's support for the Syrian government and groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas and accused it of prolonging the conflict in Yemen by providing support for Houthi rebels.
The state department announcement came a day after the Trump administration certified that Tehran was complying with its nuclear deal obligations.


Leeds United midfielder Casper Sloth has signed for Danish top division club Aalborg on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old made 14 appearances in his first season at Elland Road, but failed to play a game for the senior team last term.
Sloth had one year left on his contract with the Championship side, who he joined from Aarhus in August 2014.
He has won eight caps for Denmark, the last of which came in March 2014.

HSBC chief executive Stuart Gulliver has urged the government to clarify the status of EU workers in the UK.

Mr Gulliver was asked if the bank planned to move staff from its UK offices following the Brexit vote.
He said the government should be given time to negotiate the process of the UK leaving the European Union.
But he added: "The thing I would say that is slightly more urgent is clarity around the status of EU nationals with jobs working in the UK."
Of HSBC's 42,000 staff in the UK, about 2,000 are from the EU.
The bank warned in February, when it decided to keep its headquarters in London, that it could transfer some of its workforce to its Paris office if the UK left the EU.
Mr Gulliver's comments came as HSBC reported a sharp fall in third-quarter profits, driven by the sale of its Brazilian business.
Pre-tax profit at Europe's largest bank dropped to $843m (£678m) in the three months to the end of September, down from $6.1bn in the same period a year ago.
HSBC took a $1.7bn loss on the sale of its Brazilian unit, and it also pointed to customer compensation in America and currency moves for the fall in profits.
But adjusted profit, which excluded one-off costs, rose 7% to $5.6bn, higher than analysts had expected.
HSBC is the last of the UK's major banks to report quarterly results, after Lloyds, RBS and Barclays posted better-than-expected profits for the period.
Mr Gulliver said: "Reported profits were down, but adjusted profits were higher than last year's third quarter in all four global businesses and four out of five regions."
David Cumming, head of UK equities at Standard Life, said HSBC's results were "slightly above consensus", with costs a bit better than expected and its investment banking reasonably strong.
HSBC shares rose 4% in Hong Kong and London.
The headline numbers in bank financial results can often be misleading, and that is the case with HSBC.
A big fall in reported profits - from about $6bn in the third quarter last year to $800m this - masks what was a reasonable performance from Europe's biggest bank.
The headline numbers were held back by a string of one-offs - the fall in value of the bank's own debt, the $1.7bn loss on the sale of the Brazil operations, and some customer compensation payments in America.
Look past the non-recurring items and profits were slightly better than the same period last year.
The bigger issue for most HSBC shareholders is leadership. Douglas Flint, the long-serving chairman, leaves next year, with Stuart Gulliver, chief executive, going in 2019. Investors want reassurance that succession planning is in hand, and that the bank will break with tradition and appoint an outsider to replace Flint.
Henri de Castries, the French fund manager who already sits on the board, is favourite to take over, but were he to bow out then the bank would face a tricky search for a new leader.
There aren't many experienced financial services executives who have both the track record to sit at the top of HSBC, and the stamina to win over the myriad of regulators who will need to approve the appointment.


Turkish officials have stressed that a plan agreed by EU officials for joint action with Turkey on the migrant crisis has not been finalised.

The leaders agreed to speed up visa liberalisation talks for Turks if Turkey stems the influx.
They also promised to "re-energise" talks on Turkey joining the EU and to consider more aid.
However, Turkey's Foreign Minister Feridun Sinirlioglu said the agreement was still a draft.
He called the financial measures proposed by the EU "unacceptable", according to the AFP news agency.
Earlier Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had made scathing criticisms of Europe's reaction to the crisis.
"They announce they'll take in 30,000 to 40,000 refugees and then they are nominated for the Nobel for that. We are hosting two and a half million refugees but nobody cares," he said.
At Thursday's summit in Brussels, European leaders agreed to:
Nearly 600,000 migrants have reached the EU by sea so far this year, many of them travelling from Turkey.
Also on Friday, Hungary announced it intends to close its border with Croatia at midnight local time (22:00 GMT).
Hungary has been a major destination for migrants during the crisis, who often aim to continue on to Austria and Germany. Last month it sealed its border with Serbia.
Croatia said it would continue to transport migrants to the Hungarian border until midnight, after which it would start to direct them to the border with Slovenia.
"We are turning the route, the corridor, towards Slovenia," said Ranko Ostojic, Croatia's interior minister.
Croatia had not struck any agreement with Slovenia, according to Mr Ostojic. "This is (purely) a Croatian plan," he said.
Slovenia's interior minister, Vesna Gjorkos Znidar, said extra police had been deployed to the border with Croatia.
The country will keep accepting refugees as long as neighbouring Austria and Germany keep their borders open, Ms Znidar added.

Meanwhile, a migrant thought to be Afghan was shot dead by a Bulgarian border guard after entering the country from Turkey late on Thursday.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov left the Brussels talks on hearing the news.
At the talks German Chancellor Angela Merkel said EU states were considering a Turkish request for â‚¬3bn (Â£2.2bn, $3.4bn) in aid.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said talks over the aid would continue with Turkish officials over the coming days.
Mrs Merkel will travel to Turkey at the weekend.
"There is still a huge amount to do," Mrs Merkel said. "But you cannot say that we've achieved nothing."
EU sources had said several countries were cautious about coming to an agreement with Turkey too quickly, including Greece, Cyprus and France.

Turkey is hosting some two million migrants, most of them fleeing the war in neighbouring Syria.
Turkey has called for the establishment of an international "safe zone" for refugees inside northern Syria - but Mr Tusk said Russia's involvement in Syria made the idea more difficult.
Also in Brussels, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said he would present four main demands for change in the EU in November. It comes ahead of a promised referendum on the UK's membership of the EU in 2017.
Mr Tusk welcomed Mr Cameron's announcement, adding that the "real negotiations" could start after early November.


Convenience store chain My Local has gone into administration, with more than 1,000 jobs likely to be lost.

Ninety-three of the retailer's 125 stores will close, with the rest remaining open while buyers are sought.
If administrator KPMG cannot find buyers, the remaining stores will also shut. The chain employed 1,658 people.
The chain was sold to Greybull Capital last year by supermarket Morrisons, which has said it would offer jobs to ex-My Local staff.
It has struggled to compete in the cut-throat grocery sector, which is caught in a fierce price war.
My Local, formally known as Morrisons' M Local, was sold to Greybull for Â£25m in a deal fronted by retail veteran Mike Greene, who appeared on Channel 4 show The Secret Millionaire.
Earlier this month My Local said that administrators had been put on notice to take over running the business.
Last week Morrisons offered a lifeline to My Local staff, saying it wanted to offer them jobs in its supermarkets if there were store closures.
Mr Greene said: "The last nine months has been one of the toughest retail trading periods that I have ever experienced and My Local has faced intense competition.
"The management team has been unable to return the business to profitability. For that I am truly sorry."
Mark Orton, partner at KPMG and joint administrator, said: "Management have faced tough trading conditions and despite their best efforts to improve performance, My Local was ultimately unable to return to viability.
"Although the majority of stores have now closed, we are in active discussions with a number of interested parties in relation to both the remaining 32 premises that are trading and a small number of those that have closed," he said.
The failure of My Local comes at a difficult time for the retail sector, following on from the failures of BHS and Austin Reed.
On Tuesday, the owners of fashion firm Store Twenty One said they would push for a restructure that could result in store closures and job losses.


A new series of The Muppet Show has been commissioned by US TV network ABC, promising a "more adult" take on much-loved characters such as Kermit.

The prime-time show will be filmed in a "contemporary, documentary-style" and will explore their personal lives, relationships and even disappointments.
The Big Bang Theory's producer Bill Prady is behind the series.
The recent pilot got a standing ovation at an ABC screening last month, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The Muppets, created by puppeteer Jim Henson, first appeared on television in the 1950s, getting their own show in the 1970s.
They recently made a return to the big screen in 2011's The Muppets and 2014's Muppets Most Wanted, featuring Ricky Gervais.
Their TV comeback series is one of several new comedies picked up by ABC after the US pilot season.
Dr Ken will star Community's Ken Jeong, while The Real O'Neals is a contemporary take on a seemingly perfect Catholic family.
ABC has also ordered six new dramas and given hit shows including Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder and Marvel's Agents of Shield a new series.
Several other shows including Nigella Lawson's The Taste have been cancelled.


Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany is back in training, but manager Pep Guardiola warned that "he needs some time" to reach his "top level".

Kompany has played just three league games this season, and has not appeared since suffering knee-ligament damage against Crystal Palace on 19 November.
That was his 35th separate injury since joining City from Hamburg in 2008.
"We can't deny how good Vincent is, but to achieve that we need time," said Guardiola.
"Everybody needs time when they have been a long time injured, but his mentality is strong," he added.
"What I would like is for him not to put a lot of pressure on himself. He has to feel that his manager and team-mates will give him the time he needs after a long time away from the pitch."
The Belgium international, 30, has made 223 appearances for City in his eight years at the club, winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups.
Guardiola said he was in contention to return against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday, but that he was undecided whether to include him in his Champions League squad for the knockout stages of the competition.
One man who will not be playing at the weekend is Gabriel Jesus, with the Brazil forward waiting for his registration papers to be completed.
"When the FA solves the problems, he will be able to play," said Guardiola.
City bought the 19-year-old for £27m plus add-ons from Palmeiras in the summer, but he completed the domestic season in Brazil before joining.

Industrial action by North Sea workers in a dispute over pay has been suspended to allow for fresh talks, the RMT union has said.

Both 48-hour and 24-hour strikes have already been held on seven Shell-operated platforms.
Further action was planned for later this month but has now been put on hold.
The RMT and Unite unions represent workers involved in the dispute with oil services company Wood Group.
A statement issued jointly by Wood Group, Unite and the RMT said the talks would start next week.
It read: "All parties recognise that the challenges we are facing in the North Sea are both real and serious and there is acceptance that change is required and will happen.
"These fresh talks will allow all parties to bring ideas to the table and provide opportunities for employees in particular, along with unions and management, to contribute to a mutually successful outcome and demonstrate leadership in shaping the future of the North Sea.
"We believe that this collaborative approach to addressing the challenging and well-publicised situation in the oil and gas sector is the best way for us to resolve this current dispute and contribute to creating a sustainable model for the North Sea.
"For these talks to be successful, it is essential to create a constructive environment in which they can take place.
"Wood Group has therefore agreed to stop the implementation of the current proposal for the duration of this fresh engagement and talks, and in response to this RMT and Unite have agreed to suspend any further strike action for the duration of this fresh engagement and talks."
Hundreds of offshore workers had been due to take action on the Curlew, Brent Alpha, Brent Bravo, Brent Charlie, Nelson, Gannet, Shearwater platforms.
A spokesperson for Shell said:  "We welcome this development and encourage Wood Group's employees and management to continue their discussions in an effort to reach agreement."
The initial 24-hour strike on 26 July was the first industrial action of its kind in the North Sea in nearly 30 years and was followed by a 48-hour stoppage the following week.
Aberdeen-based Wood Group provides maintenance and construction to Shell and signed a three-year extension to its contract earlier this year.


New Zealand will be "at or near the front of the queue" for a free trade deal with the UK after it leaves the European Union, Boris Johnson has said.

During a visit to the country he also said Brexit was not about Britain becoming more isolationist.
Instead it would give the UK an opportunity to "engage with the world again in a way that we haven't been able to do for 43 years", he said.
He dismissed leadership talk, saying no one wanted "more political kerfuffle".
The foreign secretary was speaking at a press conference at New Zealand's parliament buildings in Wellington, during a two-day trip designed to strengthen ties with the Commonwealth state as the UK seeks new trading links after leaving the EU.
"I can certainly tell you that New Zealand is at or near the very front of the queue," he told reporters.
"The whole point is that the UK is not turning in as a result of Brexit - we are turning out.
"We want to engage with the world again in a way that we haven't been able to do for 43 years - and we want to engage above all with our old friends and partners, like New Zealand."
Britain cannot sign trade deals with third countries while it remains an EU member.
"We are leaving the EU, but we are not leaving Europe of course," Mr Johnson said. "And we are going to do, we hope, a great free trade deal with New Zealand."
Brexit was not about people being "hostile to immigrants", he said, adding: "They weren't hostile to people with talents and energy coming to the UK - they just wanted to feel that the British government had a handle on it."
Gerry Brownlee, New Zealand's foreign minister, said there was a "strong interest" in swiftly concluding a free trade agreement with the UK after Brexit, adding it will "bring our two countries close together".
During a ceremony in Wellington, Mr Johnson was greeted by a shout of "Boris for PM" - but he played down the idea of him replacing Theresa May.
"What the British people want to see is a government that gets on with the job and they've got that with Theresa and we are going to deliver a great Brexit deal," he said.
"What the British people want to see is us getting on with the job. They see no need for any more political kerfuffle."
He said any suggestion of discord in the Conservative Party had "completely passed me by".
"Let's be clear, the election did not evolve entirely in the way the government had hoped or would have wanted.... I'm going to put that out," he said.
"But the Labour Party did not win - they were 50 seats behind. We have a workable system of getting stuff through the House of Commons... we have a workable majority with our friends from Northern Ireland.
"We are getting on with the business of governing, which is overwhelmingly what the British people want to see."
Mr Johnson has now arrived in Australia on the latest leg of his nine-day international tour.
The foreign secretary said post-Brexit trade would be "top of the agenda" for his visit.
"The bonds of kinship between Britain and Australia are deep and enduring," he added.


An organic farmer has persuaded Tesco to take down a photograph of him from its website.

Martin Godfrey said he had never supplied Tesco and was surprised to find the picture being used on the firm's website.
The supermarket chain acquired the image through an agency.
A Tesco spokesperson said: "We work tirelessly to support farmers and suppliers and we are sorry for any upset that has been caused."
Mr Godfrey, from Okehampton, Devon, said the picture was originally taken when he was working for Shillingford Organics near Exeter, but was later sold on as a stock image.
Tesco later got the image through its advertising agency, which acquired it from Getty Images.
Mr Godfrey owns an organic produce business and campaigns with the Land Workers' Alliance.
He said the picture of him pulling carrots on the organic farm was a "marketing blunder".
"This inappropriate use of the organic farming image and myself... was taken whilst working at Shillingford Organics some 10 years ago, which has no connection to Tesco whatsoever," he said.
The image has been removed from the supermarket's online promotions, but remains printed in some of its magazines.
Tesco has promised not to use the image in future promotions.
It has offered to donate Â£1,000 to a local charity, Mr Godfrey said.
He said he appreciated the supermarket was "doing something about food waste" and suggested other chains should do the same.


Three police community support officers were in for a shock while on patrol in a leafy Greater Manchester suburb - an old man carrying a giant crocodile.

When the dumbfounded PCSOs asked what was going on, the octogenarian replied: "I couldn't fit it in the car."
The man went on to say he was helping clear the house of a late relative who had collected stuffed animals.
An Altrincham Police spokeswoman said the reptile in question dated back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in the 1900s.
While the crocodile clearly was not going anywhere fast, the PCSOs were certainly pretty snappy when it came to posing for a picture.
And there were no crocodile tears for the animal's owner either, as they helped him on his way down Navigation Road.
The three officers are bracing themselves for a host of Crocodile Dundee jokes down the station after breaking the cardinal rule of "never smile at a crocodile".


Newport County have released midfielder Jack Jebb and forward Josh O'Hanlon following the end of their short-term deals with the club.

Former Arsenal player Jebb, 21, made seven appearances for the Exiles since making his debut in November.
21-year-old O'Hanlon turned out 10 times for the club, including seven starts, but failed to find the net.
Newport are five points adrift at the bottom of League Two and have lost their last eight league games in a row.
Loanees Reece Grego Cox, Rhys Healey, Jordan Green and Kyle Cameron have all returned to their respective clubs, while Jon Parkin has completed a permanent move to York, meaning Newport have signed six first-team players and seen seven depart since the transfer window opened on 1 January.


Photographer Rajesh Vora has been fascinated with the variety of sculptures - ranging from military tanks to animals to airplanes - that sits atop roofs of houses in rural areas of north India's Punjab state.

Mr Vora travelled more than 6,000km (3,728 miles) across four districts in the state to photograph the sculptures, introduced to Punjab by immigrants who began building homes in their villages back in the late 1970s.
The sculptures often represent the aspirations of their owners, along with some elements of their personal history, which is why airplanes were often a common theme.
The photographs are being displayed in an exhibition called "Everyday Baroque", organised by Delhi-based Photoink.


Tickets have gone sale for the world's "longest and tallest tunnel slide" down the Orbit Tower, next to the Olympic Stadium.

The ride will measure 178m (584ft) in length and 76m (249ft) in height, with the descent taking about 40 seconds.
The £3.5m attraction in east London will be open from 24 June.
The Orbit tower previously ran at a loss of £520,000 in 2014-15, while being used as an observation tower.
The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) says it will recover the money spent to build the slide in five years.
The tower had been forecast to make a profit of £1.2m by the LLDC.
Adult tickets will cost £17, with £12 to access the sculpture and £5 to slide down, although it is £15 if you book in advance.
Park officials said the ride would give a "different perspective" of the tower.
Turner Prize-winning artist Anish Kapoor and structural designer Cecil Balmond designed the tower for the 2012 Olympics.
The slide has 12 twists and ends with a 50m (164ft) straight run to the ground.
It was designed by German artist Carsten Höller, who last year designed slides which ran outside the Hayward Gallery on the Southbank.


UK foreign policy would change under a Labour government to one that "reduces rather than increases the threat" to the country, Jeremy Corbyn is to say.

As election campaigning resumes after the attack in Manchester, the Labour leader will point to links between wars abroad and "terrorism here at home".
In a speech, Mr Corbyn will say the "war on terror is simply not working".
Security Minister Ben Wallace told the BBC his comments were "inappropriate and crassly timed".
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Theresa May will chair a session on counter-terrorism with G7 leaders in Sicily, Italy, on Friday.
She is expected to focus on what can be done to deal with the threat posed by extremists online.
In London, Mr Corbyn will deliver his speech as the bigger political parties return to the campaign trail following Monday night's suicide bombing at Manchester Arena that killed 22 people, many of them children, and injured 116.
According to pre-released excerpts from his speech, Mr Corbyn will pledge a "change at home and change abroad" if Labour wins power.
He will say that "many experts... have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in other countries and terrorism here at home".
"That assessment in no way reduces the guilt of those who attack our children. Those terrorists will forever be reviled and held to account for their actions.
"But an informed understanding of the causes of terrorism is an essential part of an effective response that will protect the security of our people that fights rather than fuels terrorism."
Mr Corbyn, who opposed UK military intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, and voted against strikes in Libya and Syria, will say: "We must be brave enough to admit the 'war on terror' is simply not working.
"We need a smarter way to reduce the threat from countries that nurture terrorists and generate terrorism."
He will add: "No government can prevent every terrorist attack. If an individual is determined enough and callous enough, sometimes they will get through.
"But the responsibility of government is to minimise that chance - to ensure the police have the resources they need, that our foreign policy reduces rather than increases the threat to this country, and that at home we never surrender the freedoms we have won and that terrorists are so determined to take away."
Shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner said there was no "simple causal relationship" between foreign intervention and terrorism, but "we need profoundly to reassess the way in which there are linkages".
Speaking on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Gardiner said it was "undeniable that young radicalised men from this country have used the excuse of British foreign policy and the chaos that has often resulted".
He used the example of British foreign policy in Libya - where the Manchester attacker Salman Abedi is known to have visited - as one that had failed to deal with the aftermath of military intervention.
Libya is in "complete chaos", he said.
But Conservative Security Minister Ben Wallace told Today Mr Corbyn's timing was "appalling".
"We have to be unequivocal, that no amount of excuses, no amount of twisted reasoning about a foreign policy here, a foreign policy there, can be an excuse. The reality is, these people hate our values.
"The way to see that off is not to feed excuses, not to allow these people - that right now our police are trying to find - to give them any cause to think: Well I'm slightly justified.
"They are not justified.
"In this country it's democracy, the rule of law, equality that we stand for and we absolutely reject terrorism - and so should Jeremy Corbyn - on all fronts."
Mr Corbyn is also expected to say that a Labour government would fund more police and ensure the security services had sufficient resources "to keep track of those who wish to murder and maim".
Labour's former home secretary, Charles Clarke, told BBC Two's Newsnight that Mr Corbyn was "simply wrong" about the war on terror.
He said the primary motive of radicals was not the UK's foreign policy but was instead "about the destruction of all the core elements of our society", adding: "It's about a totally opposed vision of what society should be."
Former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown said: "Some political leaders have sought to politicise the events of the week, but now is not the time, and this is not the event, to seek political advantage."

Brazilian Rafael Everton Lira has left FC IfeanyiUbah after rejecting a lesser role with the club he led to the 2016 Nigerian FA Cup.

Everton's exit comes four days after he led Anambra Warriors to their first trophy with a win over Nasarawa United.
FC IfeanyiUbah appointed Japanese-American and former Accra Hearts of Oak manager Kenichi Yatsuhashi as its new head coach on Wednesday.
Everton rejected an assistant coach and head coach of youth development role.
Everton, the youngest manager to win the Nigerian FA Cup at 27, said on Facebook: "As of today I am no longer the coach of FC IfeanyiUbah and I would like to thank the club for the opportunity to manage here,"
"The club chairman offered me a position of assistant to the new coach, but I'm going home for vacation to sit down with my agent and family to be able to make the best decision for my career.
"I am grateful for the incredible results as coach of IfeanyiUbah to get the fourth position in the first division and manage to be the Nigerian Cup Champion.
"I would like to thank everyone and thank you for everything."
BBC Sport understands that Brazilian Alberico Barbosa da Silva - one of the stars of the season who helped them to a place in next seasons Confederation Cup - will also be leaving the club.


More than 1,000 people in the Philippine capital Manila have marked the anniversary of a 1986 revolt by protesting against the government of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Left-wing activists and opposition supporters rallied at the spot where crowds forced dictator Ferdinand Marcos to flee after a 20-year rule.
The protesters condemned Mr Duterte's brutal anti-drugs crackdown.
The president's supporters held a rival rally at Manila's Rizal Park.
Among those who joined crowds at the scene of the 1986 People Power Revolution were Mr Duterte's predecessor Benigno Aquino and current vice-president Leni Robredo.
Ms Robredo resigned from Mr Duterte's cabinet in December after she was barred from cabinet meetings due to differences with the president.
Mr Aquino and Ms Robredo are both supporters of Duterte critic Senator Leila de Lima, who was arrested on Friday on drugs charges. She strongly denies any wrongdoing.
In a message from her detention cell, Ms de Lima said: "There is a president who is threatening to re-impose martial law and openly support the killings of thousand of people.
"The grim truth - in the last seven months under Duterte, there were more deaths compared to the 14 years of martial law under the Marcos regime."
Left-wing politician Emmi De Jesus said opponents of President Duterte would stand their ground "against efforts to revert to dictatorship".
"The pile of bodies in the Duterte government's war on drugs; arrests and killings of political activists; renewed push for death penalty, and militarisation of communities affecting women and children is nothing but a U-turn to full-blown fascism," she said.
Anti-government demonstrators also massed near the national police headquarters in Manila.
President Duterte angered many Filipinos last year when he allowed Ferdinand Marcos to be interred in the Heroes' Cemetery in Manila.
The president called Marcos - who was accused of abducting and killing thousands of opponents - a "Filipino soldier".
Mr Duterte launched his nationwide war on the drugs trade in July last year and critics say he has encouraged police, vigilantes and mercenaries to shoot suspected drug dealers and users on sight. More than 7,000 people are believed to have been killed.
However, the president continues to enjoy a high level of backing among Filipinos.
His supporters held a vigil in Rizal Park late on Saturday to show approval for his crackdown on drugs.


The contenders for the 2017 Bafta Film Awards have been announced, with La La Land dancing ahead of the pack with 11 nominations.

Here are some things we've learned about this year's race.
Fresh from sweeping the board at the Golden Globes, Damien Chazelle's crowd-pleasing Hollywood musical seems unstoppable during awards season.
At the Baftas it is joined in the best film category by Arrival, I, Daniel Blake, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight.
Whichever takes the top prize on 12 February, it's no guarantee of success at the Academy Awards in Hollywood two weeks later.
For the past two years the Bafta and Oscar winners have been different.
In 2015 Bafta backed Boyhood, while Birdman won in Hollywood. Last year's Bafta went to The Revenant, while the Oscar went to Spotlight.
Ken Loach's drama, about a Newcastle man's struggle against the UK benefits system, is up against the effervescent La La Land in the best film category.
With five nominations in all, I, Daniel Blake is also up for outstanding British film and Loach is in the running for best director.
Hayley Squires, who plays a poverty-stricken young mother, gets a well-deserved nod for best supporting actress.
This is Loach's seventh Bafta film nomination in total. He was last nominated in the best director category for Kes in 1971.
And get this - it's the 50th anniversary of Loach's first Bafta win, for television drama production in 1967.
It's been more than 20 years since Hugh Grant won the lead actor prize for Four Weddings and a Funeral.
That was in 1995. Now he's back with a supporting actor nod for his role in Florence Foster Jenkins as the husband and manager of Meryl Streep's opera-loving heiress.
It's like she never went away. This is Streep's 15th Bafta film nomination - which puts her on a par with Dame Judi Dench.
The US actress won in 2012 for her lead role as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.  Her only other win was in 1982 for The French Lieutenant's Woman.
If she wins, might we expect another headline-making speech such as the one she made at the Golden Globes criticising US President-elect Donald Trump?
Snapping at the heels of La La Land's 11 nominations are Arrival and Nocturnal Animals, with nine apiece.  Both films star Amy Adams.
Adams is up for leading actress for her role in Arrival as a linguistics professor brought in by the US government to communicate with some alien visitors.
It's her sixth Bafta nomination, although she's never won.
In psychological thriller Nocturnal Animals she plays an art gallery owner who becomes absorbed in the manuscript of an unpublished novel written by her ex-husband.
Despite its impressive array of nods, Tom Ford's film doesn't make the cut for best film.
I, Daniel Blake is up against five contenders that highlight the diversity of British film-making.
Andrea Arnold's road trip drama American Honey gets its sole Bafta nomination here, having triumphed at December's British Independent Film Awards.
Holocaust courtroom drama Denial, starring Rachel Weisz and Timothy Spall, also gets its only Bafta nod.
Also in the running are Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, sight-loss documentary Notes on Blindness and creepy Iran-set chiller Under the Shadow.
Expect to see JK Rowling on the red carpet as one of Fantastic Beasts' producers.
With diversity a key issue within the film industry, awards nominations are under much scrutiny.
There has already been disappointment that Denzel Washington failed to get a best actor nod for Fences and that Moonlight's Barry Jenkins didn't make the list for best director.
Hidden Figures, which tells of a trio of African-American women working at Nasa during the space race, got a single nomination for adapted screenplay, but nothing for cast members Taraji P Henson, Octavia Spencer or Janelle Monae.
Elsewhere Clint Eastwood's aviation drama Sully, starring Tom Hanks, and Martin Scorsese's religious epic Silence were totally snubbed.
There was also nothing for British comedies Absolutely Fabulous, Bridget Jones's Baby and Dad's Army.
Some have also wondered why French actress Isabelle Huppert, whose best actress win for Elle at the Golden Globes was one of the night's big surprises, doesn't get any Bafta recognition.
The answer is simple: Elle wasn't eligible due to its UK release date.
The Bafta Film Awards, hosted by Stephen Fry, take place on 12 February at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Former Bayer Leverkusen coach Sascha Lewandowski has been found dead at his home in Bochum, Germany, aged 44.

Lewandowski left his role as Union Berlin coach in March, after six months in charge, on medical advice because of acute fatigue syndrome.
Club president Dirk Zingler said: "We are deeply shocked and incredibly sad. Our sincere condolences to the family."
Lewandowski was joint head coach of Leverkusen from 2012 to 2013, and was briefly in sole charge in 2014.


In the troubled security and political landscape of Iraq, the autonomous northern province of Kurdistan has emerged in the past 10 years as an inspiring success story.

The region's progress is on full display in its capital city of Irbil, some 400km (249 miles) north of Baghdad.
Iraqi Kurds, roughly estimated at five million, have stunningly rebuilt a dirt-poor and traumatised society from scratch since they gained their autonomy in 1991.
Irbil is unmatched by any other city in post-Saddam Iraq and is prospering like no other part of the country.
"We have turned Irbil from a run-down and shabby place into a little Dubai," Mahmoud Othman, an MP for the Kurdish Alliance, said proudly.
The skyline of the city, famous for its citadel and ancient monuments, is changing rapidly, with new hotels being built to accommodate visitors form Iraq and beyond.
Irbil has a glittering airport, European-styled traffic lights, well-paved roads and highly functional infrastructure.
"It is the safest place in the whole of Iraq and Irbil has been named the 2014 tourism capital of the year [by the Arab Council of Tourism]," Mr Othman added, a smile breaking out on his face.
"We have flourished because we are no longer run with an iron fist or fear."

"Investment is very, very lucrative in Iraq Kurdistan," said Tony Abu Nakad, a Lebanese investor whom I met in the lobby of his luxury hotel.
"In Irbil, you have zero worry. As a businessman, you don't have to be preoccupied with the security hassle in other cities like Baghdad."
Newly discovered oil has fuelled the economic prosperity.
Kurdish officials predict that Kurdistan could surpass Libya's output by 2019 by producing 2m barrels per day, putting it in the list of oil-producing giants.
But oil is a mixed blessing. It has strained relations with Iraq's central government in Baghdad as there is no agreement on how to share revenues.
The Kurds have angered Baghdad by striking lucrative contracts with dozens of oil companies. Baghdad calls such contracts illegal.
The President of Iraqi Kurdistan, Massoud Barzani, hinted last month that the region could seek full independence if disputes over oil revenues and oil-rich territories like the city of Kirkuk were not resolved.
But what is not independent about Iraq Kurdistan today?
The region has its own flag, parliament, government, president, powerful armed forces and its own language.
Most of the young Iraqi Kurds, like Tazreen Zaman, a 21-year-old with a degree in accounting from the prestigious Saladin University, do not speak Arabic even as a second language.
"I was more keen on learning English than Arabic because English is a global language and can secure me a decent job in such a competitive market," she told me in impeccable English.
The Kurds are sticking hard to their identity and their mother tongue.
When Shiwan Ismail learnt I was Egyptian, however, he switched to Arabic, which is not widely spoken across Iraq Kurdistan.
"Our heritage is our only asset," said the 65-year-old, who wears traditional Kurdish costume, never out of fashion in Irbil.
It has long been the Kurdish dream to establish "Greater Kurdistan", a land connecting the Kurdish-inhabited areas of Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria.
"It is shame that a nation like us with a total population of 40 million people in the diaspora does not have a homeland," said Mr Othman.
But Turkey and Iran remain opposed to an independent Kurdish state.
"I know it is unrealistic to seek independence because we don't want war," said the Kurdish MP. "Greater Kurdistan is still a fantasy but we will not give up our dream."


The Haitian government has renewed calls for international emergency aid to help the country deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

There are fears of food shortages after the hurricane, which hit on 24 October, damaged many crops in southern Haiti.
Aid workers and officials are also on alert for an increase in cholera cases in the wake of widespread flooding.
More than 50 people were killed in Haiti, which is still struggling to recover from the 2010 earthquake.
Thousands of people are still living in makeshift shelters more than two years on from the devastating quake.
The office of Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe made the renewed appeal for help on Sunday.
There is concern that unsanitary conditions could led to an increase in cholera cases.
More than 7,500 people have died in the cholera epidemic in Haiti since late 2010. Hundreds of new cases are still being registered every week.
Although Hurricane Sandy just clipped Haiti on its way northwards, its heavy rains and strong winds destroyed more than 70% of crops in the south of the country.
Food insecurity, particularly in this part of Haiti, was already a major concern.
In Cuba, where 11 people died and there was extensive damage to crops, a huge clean-up is continuing. Hundreds of electricians are working to restore power in the east of the country.
Cuban President Raul Castro, who has been visiting the region, has described the country's second city, Santiago, as looking like a bomb site.
Aid has arrived form Russia, Venezuela and Bolivia, with more due from Ecuador.


The shadow sports minister has urged the Rugby Football Union to reconsider its decision not to renew the contracts of England's women's XV players.

In a letter seen by BBC Sport, Dr Rosena Allin-Khan tells chief executive Ian Ritchie of her "deep concern".
Despite England preparing to defend the World Cup next month, the RFU said its focus will switch to the sevens game after the tournament.
"To make this decision is deeply disappointing," wrote Allin-Khan.
"Asking players to pause and resume their professions every two years puts their futures at considerable risk."
The RFU, which announced record revenues last year of more than £400m, said its priorities shift between the XVs and sevens programmes, with the World Cup Sevens and Commonwealth Games taking place next year.
It said the England XV side will continue to take part in competitions, and that it has invested millions of pounds in the women's game, including £800,000 annually on a new domestic competition aimed at increasing and improving the talent pool available for selection for England.
But Allin-Khan wrote: "The England women's team are a source of inspiration to countless girls and women the length and breadth of the country.
"The players have played their part. Many left careers in other professions to commit themselves fully to representing their country.
"The RFU is placing the risk of playing international rugby on the players themselves.
"The most concerning aspect of this news is what it says about the RFU's ongoing commitment to the women's game. The discontinuation of these contracts sends the message that the RFU is far less than fully committed to the women's game.
"We have come such a long way and the England women's team have rewarded us with no less than world titles. We cannot fail them with a poverty of ambition or investment. We therefore strongly urge you to reconsider this decision."

In a statement, RFU director of professional rugby Nigel Melville said: "The women's squad were always aware that contracts would end in September, after the World Cup.
"The current XVs squad was informed in April that the next contracts will be focused on sevens, reflecting the cyclical nature of the women's game.
"The squad fully understands the position and are focused on the World Cup in Ireland next month."

Kevin Sinfield knows all about winning trophies at club level, but come the end of the domestic season his focus will move on to arguably the biggest test of his career.

The England captain has the Rugby League World Cup in his sights, as the cream of the sport comes to assorted venues across England, Ireland, Wales and France.
And at 32, the Leeds Rhinos playmaker is confident he can lead the nation to success when the tournament begins in October.
"I'm no spring chicken, so the likelihood is that it will surely be my last World Cup and my last chance," he told Super League TV.
Kevin Sinfield's right boot helped him overtake Lewis Jones as Leeds' all-time points scorer and became only the second Loiner to pass 1,000 runs.
So far this Super League season, he has missed just five of 48 attempts, and has a higher percentage of successful kicks than any of the top five goalscorers in 2013.
"It's been that long since England have accomplished anything, certainly with the southern hemisphere teams involved but why not this year? It's a big opportunity.
"Hopefully I'll be involved and come [the final on] 30 November - a date we talk about quite a lot - we'll be smiling."
Having hoisted the Super League and World Club Challenge trophies aloft with the Rhinos, Sinfield has the experience of marshalling a winning team.
The Oldham-born utility player led a Super League-only pool of players to a 100% Tri-Nations campaign last Autumn, and Steve McNamara's developing crop of players have bonded on training camps as varied as South Africa and RAF Cranwell.
Come October, the group will also be bolstered by the quality of NRL-based stars such as stand-off Gareth Widdop, who will rival Sinfield for the spot, Sam, Luke and George Burgess and prop James Graham.
Such quality, added to rising talent promoted through the Knights set-up such as Zak Hardaker, Josh Charnley, Kallum Watkins and Kieran Dixon, has given Sinfield optimism.
"Is it realistic? Yeah we believe so. There'll be people down under and a lot of people in the UK as well who doubt whether we're good enough, doubt the belief and whether the strength in depth is there," he added.
What Steve McNamara has put in place, along with the Rugby Football League and other members of staff, they have recruited the best in every area and left no stone unturned in the quest for World Cup success.
"The players that are available now, including the NRL-based players and the young players added to the core of senior lads, competition for places is as strong as I remember," Sinfield added.
"Add to that the culture and the togetherness of the group, if you throw those ingredients together, when I look I'm optimistic.
"Knowing what's going on inside [the squad], I think we have a great shout."
The BBC will broadcast live TV and radio coverage of all England's group games, plus a quarter-final, a semi-final and the final of the tournament which starts on 26 October.


The question of how to improve the skills of Scotland's workforce has featured heavily on the Holyrood election trail.

The Lib Dems highlighted research which suggested many employers cannot get candidates with the skills they need.
The SNP pledged to create more "high-skill" apprenticeships.
Labour called on the SNP to "come clean" over cuts to council budgets, and the Conservatives claimed a key Labour health policy was "in tatters".
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said a report from the UK Commission for Employment and Skills had stated a fifth of employers in Scotland cannot get candidates with the skills they need.
His party plans to invest extra cash in colleges as part of a plan to raise ??475m a year extra funding for education by increasing income tax rate in Scotland by 1p across all bands.
Mr Rennie, who was visiting Inverurie in Aberdeenshire, argued: "The best route out of poverty is work and the best route into work is education. We know the best way to build a sustainable, vibrant economy is to deploy the talents of all our people.
"At the moment too many people are being left behind. Businesses are crying out for skilled workers but Scotland has slipped down the international education league table and 152,000 college places have been lost on the SNP's watch.
"More than 20,000 of these were places here in the north-east. Tens of thousands of people in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are not getting the opportunities they deserve on the SNP's watch. That will not help Scotland be the best again."
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon focused on the same issue when she visited communities near the Dalzell Steelwork in Motherwell, days after a deal was reached to save it and another mothballed steel plant in Clydebridge, South Lanarkshire.
Ms Sturgeon had already promised her party would up the number of apprenticeship training places from 25,000 a year to 30,000 a year by 2020 if it is re-elected on 5 May.
Now, the SNP has vowed those additional 5,000 places will be in "high-level science, technology and engineering courses that deliver the skills employers need and the high-wage jobs our young people deserve".
Ms Sturgeon said: "Giving our young people the skills they need to be at the cutting edge of our economy and our jobs market is vital for their future and for the future of our economy.
"That means learning from our traditional industries, expanding support for science, maths, engineering and vocational training, building greater connections between industry, schools and colleges, and ensuring our young people are able to see the huge opportunities ahead of them."
Meanwhile, Scottish Labour said cuts to council services would have a negative impact on older people and make delivering proper social care in Scotland even more difficult.
The party said it would make "fairer choices" on tax to stop cuts to local services, and would spend the health budget more effectively, with an additional ??300m for social care to guarantee a care package within a week of assessment.
Labour's Jackie Baillie said: "We need to end the sticking plaster approach to our NHS which sees queues at our A&E wards and only a third of our NHS staff believing there are enough of them to do their jobs properly.
"Labour would relieve the pressures on our hospitals by protecting the health budget and spending it better. That would help our health service, established in the 1940s, to meet the challenges of the 2040s. More than 270 Scots died in the last year waiting for a care package. That is simply scandalous.
"The SNP need to come clean on the impact of their cuts on our older people that may need extra care in later life. These are cuts we don't have to make. We can end austerity in Scotland by taking different, fairer decisions on tax."
But Labour came under attack from the Conservatives over proposals unveiled by party leader Kezia Dugdale, which were widely reported as being a pledge that everyone in Scotland would be entitled to a GP appointment within 48 hours.
On its website, Scottish Labour said it would "end the SNP GP crisis and guarantee an appointment within 48 hours," with Ms Dugdale telling the party's conference: "Our plan for the NHS will guarantee an appointment at your local surgery - which you can book online if you choose - within 48 hours".
But Labour's health spokeswoman, Jenny Marra, clarified at a hustings event last week that: "There was a little bit of confusion because of the way it was reported in the press - it's not a guarantee to see a GP directly".
Instead, Ms Marra said the 48-hour commitment referred to "the most appropriate health care professional" rather than specifically to a GP.
Jackson Carlaw of the Conservatives said: "There was no doubt in anybody's mind that Labour was promising everyone access to a GP within 48 hours.
"However, under pressure at an election health hustings this was 're-profiled' by Jenny Marra as nothing more than access to a local surgery but not a guaranteed appointment with a doctor."


Burton Albion have signed defender Kyle McFadzean from MK Dons for a club-record fee on a three-year contract.

The Championship club have not disclosed the amount but have confirmed it is more than the £20,000 paid for midfielder Russell Penn in 2009.
MK Dons boss Karl Robinson had said that their asking price for McFadzean, 29, was £500,000.
"We watched him extensively and think he was the best centre-half in League One," said Burton boss Nigel Clough.
"He's a good age and has matured as a player. He's probably at his peak and has hardly missed a game for the last two years."
McFadzean scored four goals in 93 appearances during two years with MK Dons, who were relegated from the second tier last season.
"I think he'll be better this time making the step up, thanks to his previous experience in the Championship," added Clough.
"We think he will be a help for us in the Championship. He leads by example on the pitch."
Dons boss Robinson said: "I'm deeply disappointed to lose Kyle. We had meetings with him in the summer.
"He knows what our ambitions are for next season and going forward, but he's decided his future lies elsewhere.
"It's been a testing time but we've been strong and stuck to our principles, showing respect to our players and our fans. This deal is in the best interest of the football club."

A woman whose daughter died because of doctors' failings says medics have not had the "decency" to apologise.

Sian Hollands, 25, died from a pulmonary embolism at Darent Valley Hospital, Kent, in November 2015.
A coroner ruled in April her death was "due to the failures of the doctors" in examining, diagnosing and treating her.
One doctor is being investigated by the General Medical Council, but the hospital has confirmed he continues to practise.
Ms Hollands' mother Nicole Smith said she is furious no-one has faced sanctions.
Live: More on this story and other news from Kent
Kent Police launched an investigation into whether to bring charges of manslaughter through gross negligence. This week officers confirmed no criminal charges are being pursued.
Mum-of-three Ms Hollands had gone to hospital in agony three weeks after suffering an ectopic pregnancy.
She had been taking methadone to treat her drug addiction but had stopped for a few days, leading Dr Kamran Khan to put her symptoms down to withdrawal.
She was discharged but did not leave the hospital and died a few hours later.
Dr Khan claimed he had not seen Ms Hollands' notes and was unaware of the seriousness of her pain.
However, his handwriting was found on Ms Hollands' notes and, during cross-examination, the doctor admitted to not reading them.
Ms Smith, who now brings up Ms Hollands' young children, said: "The doctors were sat next to me in court and didn't even look at me.
"The hospital gave a statement of apology, but none of the medical staff had the decency to apologise to my face.
"They killed my daughter because they failed to do their jobs; the coroner confirmed she could have been saved.
"Victims of criminal offences can meet the criminal, but the doctors won't sit in a room with me and explain themselves."
Dr Khan must submit his case to the General Medical Council in August before it is sent to examiners for a final decision.
Ms Smith's solicitor has served the hospital with papers asking them to formally accept responsibility for Ms Hollands' death and requesting compensation for her children.
A spokesman for the hospital confirmed Dr Khan is still practising at the trust and that the papers from the family have been received.
He added: "This practitioner is subject to an ongoing investigation and the overall case subject to a claim against the organisation, therefore it would not be appropriate to comment at this time."
But Ms Smith said: "I don't even have so much as a written letter, so Sian's children can read it in the future and know the people responsible are truly sorry.
"They thought I'd disappear after the inquest, but I'm not going anywhere until I feel what needs to be done is done and there's no risk of it happening again.
"They can't comprehend how damaged this has left our family."


Modern-day slavery can be tackled if people spot the warning signs, according to a new campaign against human trafficking in north Wales.

Police, ferry companies and charities are among more than 40 organisations involved in what they claim is the first project of its kind in the UK.
A checklist of warning signs will be handed to passengers at Holyhead port on Friday to raise public awareness.
Co-ordinator Jim Coy said the aim was to make Wales "hostile" to trafficking.
He said the general public can help the authorities catch the culprits through spotting signs that could indicate sexual exploitation, forced labour, domestic servitude and other forms of abuse.
"There are a whole gamut of ways in which people are exploited - we want people to start thinking about it," he said.
"If a person doesn't look right in the company of other people, bring it to the attention of the authorities and we'll do the rest."
The UK government has introduced a Modern Slavery Bill to reinforce efforts to tackle the problem.
A leaflet called Stop the Traffik asks people to be alert to a number of signs in others including the following:
Det Supt Mark Pierce, lead officer on modern slavery for North Wales Police, said: "Human trafficking in whatever form has a devastating effect on the victims, some of whom are so vulnerable that they are unaware of being exploited.
"The eyes and ears of everyone in the community are the most effective weapon against this criminality."
People suspicious of activity which could indicate slavery are asked to contact the police on 101, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or the anti-slavery hotline on 0800 0121 700.
