The SNP has become the biggest party on Aberdeen City Council.

A total of 19 SNP councillors were elected, up from 16 in 2012, as the Conservatives surged to 11 from three and Labour's total halved to nine.
Labour's finance convener Willie Young was among the casualties, but party group leader Jenny Laing kept her seat on the council.
In Aberdeenshire, the Conservatives overtook the SNP. In Moray, the SNP was the biggest party.
Mr Young said after the Aberdeen result: "The Conservatives have done very well. You've got to accept you can lose. That's politics for you."

Let's talk numbers - there have been boundary changes which mean that some comparisons are made with "notional" outcomes in 2012, the last time these councils were contested.
On that count, the SNP are notionally down by a fractional seven seats. However, in terms of absolute numbers, the Nationalists have ended up with more councillors than in 2012.
Plus the SNP are the largest party in Scotland's four largest cities - including Glasgow, where jubilant supporters attended their ousting of Labour. They have waited decades for that.

In Aberdeenshire, the Conservatives had 23 seats, up from 14, while the SNP fell eight to 21. The Lib Dems gained two to 14, independents fell from 12 to 10, and labour dropped from two to one.
In Moray, nine SNP councillors were elected (down one) - along with eight Conservatives (up five), eight independent (down two) and one Labour (down two).
Orkney elected its first ever Scottish Greens councillor, while the SNP gained its first representative in Shetland.
Steve Sankey was elected in the East Mainland, South Ronaldsay and Burray ward of Orkney Islands Council.
Robbie McGregor won the uncontested Shetland South seat for the SNP.
Shetland's political leader Gary Robinson lost his Shetland West seat.


A troubled secondary school on the Isle of Wight is set to be placed in special measures.

Sandown Bay Academy has been rated "inadequate" by Ofsted because of "ineffective leadership at all levels".
Inspectors said the school's sponsor, Academies Enterprise Trust (AET), also failed to deal effectively with a "debilitating cyber-attack".
Isle of Wight councillors voted in May to ask the government to oust AET "off the island altogether".
In April, the head teacher resigned and the trust replaced the board of governors.
Ofsted inspectors, who visited the following month, said pupils had been "let down in the quality of education they receive for too long".
The report said grades had fallen since 2015 and "too many pupils are persistently absent".
It said AET had not supported the school following the cyber-attack which resulted in a "widespread loss of important documents", including pupil progress reports, teaching plans and exam work.
Ofsted praised the behaviour of pupils and a unit for pupils with autism.
On 25 May, the day after inspectors left, AET announced plans to close the Sandown site as part of a previously-declared "merger" with Ryde Academy, 6 miles (10km) away.
Explaining its proposal, AET said income at Sandown Bay had dropped by £5m in five years.
A six-week consultation by AET on the merger plan runs until 6 July, while Isle of Wight Council is holding a separate consultation on rival plans to retain secondary education in Sandown.
In a statement, the trust said: "We acknowledge that AET has not succeeded in driving forward the educational improvements at Sandown Bay that we would all wish to see."
It said it had replaced the governors and head teacher with an "experienced" management board and "new leadership team".


Residents are being invited to attend the first in a series of open days about a new landmark bridge in Poole Harbour in Dorset.

Project contractor Hochtief began the construction of six supports for the Â£37m Twin Sails Bridge last week.
It will span Backwater Channel in Holes Bay between Hamworthy and Poole town centre.
The first open day will be held at Hamworthy Library in Blandford Road between 1400 and 1900 BST on Wednesday.
The second one will be held at the Dolphin Shopping Centre between 0900 and 1700 GMT on 4 November.
The bridge is scheduled to open in early 2012.
Jim Bright, the Borough of Poole's strategic director, said: "We are aware that residents have questions relating to the construction of the Twin Sails Bridge and the impact of regeneration in their local community.
"By holding these open days we hope residents will take the opportunity of raising any questions or concerns they may have."


Wearing a lightly-coloured checked shirt, shorts, and with a soft English accent, Cal Henderson delivers a harsh truth.

“It probably would have been impossible to start Slack in the UK.”
Slack, a workplace communications tool valued earlier this year at $3.8bn, is unquestionably one of San Francisco’s hottest start-ups. And, as well as Henderson, the company is peppered with British technology talent.
“Because of the way we built the company, and the money that starting the kind of company like Slack requires, it’s just not possible anywhere outside of the Valley.”
Henderson’s words are tough love. He isn’t writing off the UK’s chances as a tech hub, far from it. But he is unequivocal in his belief that the company he co-founded could not have succeeded back home.
It should make worrying reading for anyone with a stake in the UK’s technology business, and its chances -  as we’ve been investigating this week on BBC News - of creating “the next Google”.
I’ve spent time chatting to British success stories in San Francisco’s start-up scene. Some wanted to be a part of this story, others didn’t  - but all expressed the same sentiment: Britain just isn’t in the same league when it comes to being able to consistently nurture successful technology companies.
But it could be, one day.
In just two years, Slack has cemented itself as a key tool for tens of thousands of companies. Employees use it to share messages and documents and it also plugs into a variety of other services popular in the modern workplace.
Not groundbreaking, you may think, but like all tech successes, the value is in the execution. Unlike so many tools used for workplace communication, Slack is a delight to use.
Investors are throwing money at it. Its most recent chunk of funding -  $200m -  valued the firm at $3.8bn. The enthusiasm for Slack is bucking the current trend of investors being far cagier about pushing money into new ideas. At a time when pursestrings are being tightened, venture capitalists are tipping briefcases of cash at Slack’s feet.
Tech talent season:
UK digital clusters mapped
Google: Don't let Brexit distract UK
How UK lost six potential tech titans
Has the UK got tech talent?
The company is spending it on growing - and fast. For the duration of their first week, new employees have a yellow emoji balloon tacked to their desks. On the day I visited their offices in San Francisco’s financial district, it was yellow balloons as far as they eye could see.
Such rapid growth in the UK would have been a big challenge.
“The appetite for risk is much lower,” Henderson says. “It’s harder to attract people to what seems like a risky job at a start-up.”
One of Henderson’s co-founders, Stewart Butterfield, is a Canadian educated in the UK. The pair have been through several endeavours, finding success but never quite in the way they intended.
Slack began its life as a quick-and-easy tool created so Butterfield, Henderson and the team could communicate with one and other while they built the real project, a game called Glitch.
When Glitch just wasn’t happening, they gave up. But kept working on Slack.
They’d previously worked together on another project, a online mulitplayer title called Game Neverending. Here too they created a tool to help with the game's development. Again, the game failed, but the tool remained -  it became Flickr, a photo-sharing site eventually bought by Yahoo for $40m.
It’s this ability to snatch success from the jaws of failure that breeds great companies in Silicon Valley, Henderson says.
“One of the things that’s pretty obvious as a Brit when you move to California is that the isn’t a lot of cynicism here.
“The British attitude towards failure is ‘oh you’re going to fail, you may as well not try’.
“That just doesn’t exist here.”
On the wall in the SoftTech VC office is a poster celebrating the venture capital firm’s 10th anniversary. It’s covered with the logos of the companies in which SoftTech has invested millions. “Onwards and upwards,” reads a scribbled message next to the logo for fitness tracker firm FitBit.
Venture capital is the lifeblood of any start-up ecosystem, and there’s more of it here than anywhere else.
It’s a big gamble throwing money at ideas when you know most are destined to fail. And yet, just shy of $60bn was spent doing just that in the US last year.
Andy McCloughlin looks after $100m-worth of that kitty.
He’s been a partner at SoftTech VC since March 2015. His job is to whittle through the pitches from eager entrepreneurs at a rate of about 10 a week, settling on a privileged few who’ll get what they call “early stage” funding. The idea is to invest “just” a few million for a small stake in a company that might hit the big time. More often than not, they don’t - but the ones that do soar and make it worth it.
That balance of risk to reward puts off British money, McLoughlin tells me.
“[Silicon Valley] is just this magical place where people have made money and rather than disappearing into the Cotswolds like perhaps people used to do in the UK, they’re staying very active in the ecosystem and putting that money back in.
“Success begets success, and we just see this continuous virtuous cycle.”
McLouglin’s route to Silicon Valley is also a troubling indicator for the UK tech industry. He co-founded Huddle, a workplace document-sharing and collaboration business, in 2006. When the time came to raise serious money, he felt he had no choice but to relocate to San Francisco (though the company still has a significant presence in London).
“I think we realised that if [Huddle] was going to be a world class technology company, the chances of getting there were going to be much higher here,” he says.
“The US venture capitalists were prepared to move faster, were prepared to take bigger bets.”
Although it has grown rapidly in recent years, the purse for investing in UK technology companies is tiny. In 2015 US companies had access to $60bn, in the UK companies shared just $3.6bn.
To put that into some context, the ride-sharing app Uber last year attracted more investment than the entire UK technology industry combined.
That shortage of funds appears to be limiting the potential for billion-dollar ideas to take off. But it also hurts smaller, niche apps that require investors to be a little more gung-ho.
Her is a dating app aimed at gay women and bisexuals, and launched by Robyn Exton in the UK in 2013. Over the course of the first year, Exton managed to raise $1m. But she needed more.
“When I was raising in Europe it took me about eight months to raise a million dollars,” she says.
“When I came over here, it took me six days. It’s unbelievable the pace that people will move at here.”
She says she encountered far fewer restrictions and bureaucracy in getting hold of the money. She says that she wasted months negotiating terms of investment and funding in Europe - time that could have been better spent working on the company.
“Over here,” she says. “You get a piece of paper signed and money gets transferred within two hours.”
The success of Silicon Valley is built on decades of history. Early military investment followed by innovation brought swathes of money to the region.
While British entrepreneurs in the Valley seem essentially united in their bleak assessments of opportunity in the UK, they also believe great things will eventually emerge -  so long as the UK plays to its strengths.
“I think there are some great funds operating out of London,” says Exton.
“And I think as they continue to grow the tech scene there I think it will get stronger and stronger.”
London in particular has a huge advantage that even San Francisco can’t emulate. In the emerging world of Fintech  - financial technology -  only London offers that blend of having all the key players in close proximity.
Unlike in the US, where the techies are in Silicon Valley, the banks are in New York, and the policymakers are in Washington DC, in London, all the key components are right on top of each other.
Over time, suggests Cal Henderson from Slack, London’s strengths will begin to bear fruit, so long as people have patience.
“I think the biggest thing that would need to change to create the next Google is to accept that you’ll need to create 10,000 not-Googles first.
“There’s going to need to be a lot of failure before you’ll see success.”

First-time voters in next month's Northern Ireland Assembly election are getting the chance to challenge politicians live on BBC One next week.

In an hour-long special I am presenting with Stephen Nolan, almost 200 18-year-olds will voice their opinions and put the parties on the spot about their policies.
We spoke to politics students at Belfast Met who were born in 1998, and they said they appreciate the significance of the year in which they were born.
It was a year that saw fundamental change in Northern Ireland with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
Student Stuart English said the the agreement is "better than the alternative... if it means we live in peace".
"I didn't experience the Troubles but my father did, and I might hear a bit about it from him," he said.
"But personally, I don't know what it would be like.
"We hear about it but we don't know what it must have been like day to day."
Courtney Girvin, a product of integrated education, agrees.
"I'm pro-Good Friday Agreement and I have a lot of friends who say it's useless and it hasn't done anything," she said.
"It can be improved, yes, but it's so important because we live in relative peace."
Hannah Kennedy said she will be voting and believes it is important that others do too.
"We've come through the Good Friday Agreement and I think we've different opinions from the older generation," she said.
"So if enough young people don't vote then there won't be the opportunity for this new era of politics to come about."
Stephen Nolan said he wants the young people to "pull no punches" when they face the political parties.
"Politics isn't boring - it's incredibly important if you want to shape the country you live in," he said.
"So let's make this an exciting night where we hear new voices telling out politicians what they want their Northern Ireland to be."
On the night, young people from schools, colleges and those not in education or training will be putting these questions to representatives political parties fighting the election.
Kathleen Carragher, the head of BBC News NI, said the programme is an "exciting opportunity" to find out what Northern Ireland's young people want to ask politicians.
"It will be a chance to hear about  the issues that matter to today's young voters and potentially the policy makers and politicians of the future.
"This is just one part of BBC News NI's extensive election coverage in which we are bringing all the passion, the drama and the debate to our audiences, across radio, television and news online."
Election 2016: The Good Friday Agreement Generation will air at 21:00 BST on Wednesday 20 April on BBC One Northern Ireland and on the BBC News Channel.


A woman in her 30s is in a critical condition in hospital after a crash involving two cars in Bangor, County Down.

The Blues will face the Scottish champions in their second round qualifier with the first leg at Windsor Park on Friday.
Celtic have already said they will not be issuing tickets for supporters who were hoping to travel to Belfast.
Linfield have secured an allocation of 1,500 tickets for the return leg.

"The club is disappointed Celtic did not take up its ticket allocation," said Linfield chairman Roy McGivern.
"It was their decision and we respect that but we remain disappointed."
Linfield say they were initially given an allocation of 1,000 tickets for the match at Celtic Park but received an additional amount after making a formal request to Celtic.
"It's a massive game for all concerned and that creates pressure," McGivern said. "But we truly look forward to the occasion."

Wales are top of Pool B after the opening day and play Poland next on Tuesday, 8 August at 18:00 BST.
Poland lost their opening game 2-0 to Belarus, while in Pool A it was France 0-1 Ukraine and Italy 1-1 Russia.
Wales head coach Kevin Johnson was delighted to have started the tournament in style.
"It was important for us to start well and that gives us confidence, belief and momentum," he said.
"We knew we had to focus on the important things and try and find the game that we have been playing for a while.
"It's kind of hard to know what the 'home thing' is going to be before we get out there playing, but we ran any nervous energy off in the first quarter and settled down."


On 31 March 1995, at the age of 23, rising Latina superstar Selena Quintanilla-Perez was shot dead by the manager of her fan club at a motel in Corpus Christi, Texas.

A full 21 years later, on 1 October 2016, women who were not even born in her lifetime were left distraught when a MAC make-up line released in her name sold out completely within 24 hours of its launch.
MAC is a cult brand, and it is not uncommon for well-hyped celebrity make-up ranges to sell out online within a day - but for that to happen when the pop icon has been dead for two decades is a striking testimony to her legacy.
Those unfamiliar with Tejano (Mexican-American) music may never have heard of Selena, who was just hitting the US mainstream when she was murdered.
But for many Latina women, she is an inspiration - the first Tejano singer to debut at the top of the Billboard chart when her posthumous crossover album, Dreaming of You, was released in 1996.
In 1990, her second album, Ven Conmigo ("Come With Me"), was the first Tejano record to achieve gold status, meaning it sold more than 500,000 copies. And in 1993, the album Live! won her a Grammy Award for Best Mexican/American Album.
Her story was brought to life in the 1997 film Selena, which gave Jennifer Lopez her break-out acting role.
It depicts the flamboyant singer's rise from 10-year-old star of her family's band, Selena y Los Dinos, and how she learned Spanish to connect with the Latino community. Though her father was not keen to include the scene where 20-year-old Selena eloped with her lead guitarist Chris Perez and married him the same day, he was talked into keeping it to reflect their love story honestly.
While the film focuses on her life, it includes how she was lured to a motel and shot dead by Yolanda Saldivar, the former president of her fan club, when the Quintanilla family found evidence Saldivar had embezzled $60,000 from Selena's fan club and boutiques.
The film became the 11th highest-grossing musical biopic of all time, taking $35,281,794, enabling Jennifer Lopez to become the new highest-paid Latina actress, netting a million dollars.
Determined to do the role justice, Lopez moved in with the Quintanilla family to understand Selena's life better. A stadium scene depicting Selena's final concert featured an astonishing 35,000 extras - many of whom were fans.
As of 2012, Selena had sold over 60 million albums worldwide. Her ongoing relevance was underlined in July, when the Hollywood Hall of Fame confirmed she would get her own star in 2017.
Eva Longoria, the Latina actress who became a household name with the TV show Desperate Housewives, was nominated at the same time. Writing on Instagram, she said she was especially overjoyed to share the honour with Selena.
"The same year I receive my star, so does my idol, my inspiration, my fellow Tejana, my fellow Corpus Christi native, Selena Quintanilla. She was the reason I even dared to dream that a better life was possible," Eva wrote.
"She blazed the way for all of us and I will be forever grateful to her for not only that but for the pure joy I felt when I got to see her perform."
Selena's family helped create the MAC line in her name. Her sister Suzette Arriaga said: "I wanted the colours to be about her personality, what she wore on and off-stage. She has been gone for 21 years already, and for this collaboration to happen, it's pretty much incredible. It just shows the love her fan base has even though she's passed. It's a great honour to have MAC collaborate with Selena's name and her fans."
At the Billboard Latin Music Awards in 2015, Jennifer Lopez took to the stage for the most talked-about moment of the night: A medley of Selena Quintanilla's best-loved hits, including "Como la Flor," "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom," "No Me Queda Mas," and "I Could Fall in Love".
The MAC Selena collection includes lipsticks, lip gloss, eye shadows, mascara, liquid eyeliner, and a powder and blush combination. The products are named after her biggest hits - including a lip gloss called 'Bidi Bidi Bom Bom' and a lipstick, 'Dreaming of You'. But for those she inspired, the influence of the "Mexican Madonna" goes far beyond what they put on their faces.
Jennifer Lopez summed up her enduring appeal in an interview with Billboard Magazine, saying she was "special" and "moved the world in a different way".
"That's why we're still talking about her 20 years later," she added. "People like that don't come along every day. There is never going to be another Selena."


A second-half goal from Charlie Wyke, his 17th of the season, spared Carlisle a third consecutive defeat as the Cumbrians were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Morecambe.

Aaron Wildig gave the Shrimps an early lead and the visitors held out until Wyke's 74th-minute effort which followed the sending off of defender Dean Winnard.
Morecambe's bright start was rewarded in the seventh minute when Kevin Ellison whipped over an accurate cross from wide on the left to pick out Wildig, who coolly guided his shot past Mark Gillespie into the bottom-left-hand corner.
The Carlisle defence was all at sea early on and only an offside flag denied Peter Murphy a second goal with a first-time flick from Michael Rose's penetrating pass.
As Carlisle finally began to get into the game, the woodwork came to Morecambe's rescue in the 25th minute when Barry Roche produced an instinctive save from Jason Kennedy's far-post header and Wyke, from six yards, slammed the inviting rebound against the bar.
Carlisle pressed for an equaliser after the break, although Wildig kept Gillespie on his toes with a 25-yard skimmer which the goalkeeper went full length to turn away for a corner.
The Shrimps had Winnard sent off in the 73rd minute for a foul on Shaun Miller and from the free-kick on the left edge of the box Nicky Adams' curler was glanced past Roche by Wyke's header.
Wyke and substitute Derek Asamoah had late chances, but with just one point from three games Carlisle's automatic promotion hopes again faltered.

League One side Gillingham have signed Tottenham Hotspur defender Connor Ogilvie on a six-month loan deal.

Ogilvie, 21, has yet to make a first team appearance for Spurs and spent most of the last two seasons on loan at League Two Stevenage.
The former under-16 and under-17 England international made 18 appearances for the Boro last season.
"I'm looking forward to it and I want to be playing games regularly," Ogilvie told the club website.
"I'm really pleased to secure Connor's signature. He's got pedigree having come through the youth ranks at Tottenham and what is an added bonus for us is that he has experience of playing league football," added Gillingham manager Ady Pennock.

Heroic tales of holidaymakers protecting loved ones and attempts to save lives have emerged from the inquest into the deaths of 30 British people killed in the Tunisia beach attack.

Gunman Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire indiscriminately at tourists on sunloungers on the beach at the five-star Hotel Rui Imperial Marhaba in Sousse on 26 June 2015.
These are their stories.
Teenager Owen Richards tried to shield his grandfather during the Tunisia terror attack in which his brother and uncle were also killed.
Mr Richards, who was 16 at the time, was helping Charles Patrick Evans, 78, try to escape as gunman Seifeddine Rezgui hunted for victims at the beach hotel.
Mr Evans, his son Adrian Evans, 49, and Owen's brother Joel Richards, 19, were all shot dead at the Sousse beach resort.
The West Midlands family were enjoying the first day of their "jolly boys' outing", inspired by their favourite TV programme "Only Fools and Horses", when they heard gunshots from the direction of the beach.
They fled into the indoor pool area and as Rezgui approached, Mr Evans - known to his family as Pat - fell to the floor.
"I was hugging granddad on the floor and then I could see out of my right-hand corner my brother and seeing him dive to the floor," Mr Richards said.
"He lifted the gun up and I closed my eyes, then I heard a bunch of shots."
The four relatives had booked the holiday to celebrate Owen finishing his GCSE exams, his mother Suzanne Richards said.
Adrian Evans worked for Sandwell Council in Oldbury as a manager in the gas services department and Joel was a student at the University of Worcester and a keen football referee.
Mrs Richards said: "We take comfort that they stayed together in their last moments - protecting each other."
Liam Moore battled to save the life of his fiancee Carly Lovett during the attack, the inquest heard.
The couple ran from the beach into the hotel after hearing gunshots, and were hiding in a staff area. Mr Moore said: "We were standing close to each other, just hugging each other and holding each other's hands.
"Carly was saying that she was scared and I said I was too, but that we would get out of there."
The 24-year-old beauty blogger was then injured in an explosion.
"She said that shecouldn't move her legs and that shewas blacking out and she told me that she loved me and I told her that I loved her too," Mr Moore said.
He began CPR on her when she stopped responding.
Ms Lovett, from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, had recently got engaged to Mr Moore, her childhood sweetheart of 10 years. This was the first couple's holiday together.
Her family described her as "a kind,caring, intelligent,beautifulwoman with a wicked sense of humour".
Cheryl Mellor said her "hero" husband Stephen, 59, sacrificed his life to protect her during the attack.
She told the inquest that her husband of 10 years climbed on top of her as they lay on the beach in between their sun beds when the gunman shot at them.
In her statement, read out at London's Royal Courts of Justice, Mrs Mellor said: "I am only here today due to the bravery of my husband, Steve.
"We were being shot and he protected me. Steve stayed and saved me. He sacrificed himself. Steve is a hero to me."
Yorkshire-born Mr Mellor, a father of three from Bodmin, Cornwall, died after being shot in the chest and abdomen.
Mrs Mellor, who was shot in the leg and wrist, suffered life-changing injuries.
Mr Mellor did not live to see the birth of his third grandchild, a boy called Thomas Stephen, who was named after him.
Sports fan Mr Mellor had a "huge interest" in golf and was "so wellâ€


Mark Ronson, Rudimental and Clean Bandit are among the headliners at a new summer festival in Dundee's Camperdown Park.

Carnival 56, which takes place on 12 and 13 August, is the first major music event at the park since BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2006.
Other acts include Dundee band Model Aeroplanes and there will be DJ sets from Basement Jaxx and Hot Chip.
Tickets for the festival go on general sale on Monday.
Festival director Craig Blyth said: "Mark Ronson is in a class of his own, few artists match the energy of Rudimental live and Clean Bandit are one of the biggest acts today.
"We're delighted to have them join us as headliners in Dundee on a bill which has real depth and quality.
"There is a huge buzz about the festival, with a few more surprises still to come, and know the artists will get a massive response when they hit Camperdown this August."


Ospreys backs coach Gruff Rees says fly-half Dan Biggar will not be affected by speculation linking him with Northampton Saints.

The Wales international is reportedly a target for the English Premiership side.
Biggar, 27, is contracted to the Ospreys until 2018 having signed a national dual contract (NDC) in December 2015.
"I'm sure he won't be unsettled in any way, shape or form," Rees said.
"He's the player he is for the reason of how mentally tough he is.
"I've read about it and I'm aware of it but he's under contract and I won't speculate any further."
Biggar and Sam Davies have shared Ospreys fly-half duties this season, with both also competing for the Wales number 10 shirt.
Davies came on for Biggar at half-time in the 33-7 Six Nations win over Italy in Rome.
"If you've got a side with a bit of momentum around the ball carrying game and there's threats around him, then Sam will flourish," Rees added.
"Likewise so will Dan Biggar and I think he probably managed it to how the conditions dictated, and so did Sam at the time."
With Biggar and Davies away on international duty, Luke Price has started in the Anglo-Welsh victories over Bristol and Wasps.
The 21-year-old could be handed a start in the Pro12 away to Zebre on Friday.
"I've enjoyed seeing how good a decision maker he is and how he can run a game," said Rees.
"Josh [Matavesi] is still working on his rehab so Luke is doing the majority of training,
"He looks comfortable and we have trust and faith in what he does and the team will fill in and around that position."


The state of the public finances has provided a window on the performance of the economy, and some amber lights are flashing.

First, the good news. Annual government borrowing is at its lowest level since 2008.
At £52bn this year, the deficit (the difference between the amount a government receives in taxes and spends on services) is now at 2.6%, down from 10% in 2009.
Since the Brexit referendum, the economy has performed far better than forecast and that has increased government revenues.
Corporation tax receipts rose by 21% over the past year, to a record £55.6bn.
Income tax receipts (Pay-As-You-Earn and self-assessment) rose by 4.7% to £184bn.
The CBI's latest Industrial Trends Survey revealed that export orders were growing at their fastest rate for six years, helped by the fall in the value of sterling.
For a government that has pledged to "balance the books", lower deficit levels are seen as a good thing.
There are, of course, those who argue that "balancing the books" is an unnecessary political fetish.
They say that governments should borrow judiciously as long as the economic return on that borrowing - for example by investing in improved infrastructure - is higher than the cost.
The slightly less comfortable news in the Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures published today is contained in the final month of the data - March.
PAYE income tax receipts and VAT receipts actually fell last month compared with a year earlier, signalling that economic activity is stuttering.
The latest retail sales figures add to a picture of fresh economic headwinds, revealing the fastest quarterly decline for seven years.
As Sam Tombs, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, says: "The public finances add to evidence that the economy has slowed significantly this year."
More concrete data on that will arrive on Friday with the publication of the first quarter economic growth figure for 2017.
Many economists are predicting that this three-month growth figure will slow to 0.4% - from 0.7% for the last three months of 2016.
Rising inflation is eating into incomes.
Better borrowing figures today, yes, on the back of better economic news.
But, the headlines on growth and borrowing could turn gloomier ahead.


York Minster has appointed a new head bell-ringer, eight months after the cathedral's entire volunteer ringing team was sacked.

Angela Mitchell has been named as the new Head of Bell Tower.
The Minster dismissed its bell-ringers in October, over "safeguarding issues".
Mrs Mitchell, a member of the former bell-ringing team, said she applied for the job to ensure the Minster's "magnificent bells ring out again each Sunday and for other key occasions".
The bells at the cathedral have only been rung intermittently since the mass sacking, including at the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols in December.
Mrs Mitchell, who has been appointed on a 12-month contract, added: "The recent history of bell ringing at the Minster has been difficult and there is some healing to do.
"However I am really looking forward to working with the new team and I hope that the news of my appointment will help to move things forward."
A spokesperson for the Minster said: "One of Angela's first tasks will be to help recruit and establish the Minster's new band of volunteer bell-ringers.
"The Minster received applications from 42 bell-ringers from York and the wider region with more than three quarters of the applications coming from members of the previous band."
Recruitment and induction of the new ringing team is due to take place this summer and it is hoped the team will fully up and running in the early autumn.


Mozambique has become the latest African country to grant Scotch whisky legal protection.

State officials have recognised the spirit as a Geographical Indication (GI).
It means only whisky that has been made in Scotland can now legally be sold as Scotch in the country.
The news comes days after Scottish Secretary David Mundell asked Mozambique to grant it legal protection during a visit to the country.
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) said the "legal breakthrough" would give consumers a high level of protection against fakes.
Scotch has been recognised as a GI in a number of markets over the last 12 months, including Botswana which was the first African country to reward it that status.
It has also been given protection in the 17-member countries of the intellectual property body the Organisation Africaine de la Propriete Intellectuelle (OAPI).
Scotch is now officially recognised in the laws of nearly 100 countries, including the whole of the European Union.
Mozambique remains a relatively small export market, with direct shipments of Scotch in 2014 worth Â£1.6m. However, that was up from Â£214,000 five years earlier.
SWA chief executive David Frost said: "We expect to see demand for Scotch increase in Mozambique as its economy continues to grow.
"We have the same positive outlook for many African countries with a growing middle class seeking out quality, imported products, such as Scotch.
Mr Mundell said: "This is a great result, and I am grateful to the Mozambique government.
"Whisky is one of Scotland's greatest success stories, a globally-recognised premium product.
"This new protection will help Scottish distillers maximise the value of this important new market.
"It will also give consumers in Mozambique the confidence that the dram in their glass is the real thing."


A football fan, left brain-damaged after an attack at an away match, received a two-minute standing ovation when he returned to his home club.

Cambridge United fan Simon Dobbin, 44, from Mildenhall, Suffolk, was attacked in Southend in March last year.
He returned to the Cambridge stadium to watch his first live match between the U's and Portsmouth on Saturday.
"It was so lovely to see the smile on his face. He was really lapping it up," his wife Nicole said.
Mr Dobbin was left with life-changing injuries and needs round-the-clock care after he and other supporters were assaulted outside a pub in Southend.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's game, his wife said the family had been "chanting songs to him with his name in them, and he's singing along".
Her husband could now say a few words and recognise people, she said.
He was brought on to the pitch to a lengthy standing ovation from the crowd and both teams.
"I think he thinks today is not about the football, it's all about him," Mrs Dobbin said.
Asked what she hoped his presence at the match would achieve, she said: "I think people will see he has disabilities, but we know Simon's still in there.
"He's trapped in his body, but if it [makes] one person - seeing what's happened to Simon - actually step back and think they don't want this to happen again, then hopefully some good will have come out of it."
The U's chief executive told the crowd: "No-one should ever sustain Simon's life-changing injuries as a result of going to a football match."
Twelve men appeared before magistrates last month charged with violent disorder. Eight pleaded not guilty, while four did not enter a plea.
The case was adjourned until a later date.


Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser feels his season-long loan at Ipswich Town in the Championship toughened up his game.

Fraser, 22, made his Premier League debut for the Cherries against West Ham on Sunday after making 21 appearances for the Tractor Boys last season.
"It was massive," the Scotland international said after his display for Bournemouth at the London Stadium.
"I've spent years trying to get to this point in my career and hopefully there's more to come at this level."
Fraser's spell playing under Mick McCarthy at Portman Road, which included six goals, was twice disrupted by hamstring tears.
"The recovery was hard," he told BBC Radio Solent. "I was supposed to be out for just four weeks following the second injury, but it ended up being five months.
"I pushed things a bit too soon as I wanted to play more games. But it was a different side of football compared to Bournemouth.
"It was nitty-gritty and I picked up different bits that helped my game. I've seen changes and the gaffer's seen changes too."


Transport Scotland will present a draft outline of the proposed improvements to a challenging hairpin bend on the A9 in Caithness next week.

The A9 drops from 150m (492ft) to 20m (65ft) as it enters a valley at the Berriedale Braes.
Transport Scotland will run an exhibition at Berriedale Parish Church in Berriedale on 26 November outlining the proposed work.
The plans will also be made available on the agency's website.
The draft road orders for the work involved will be published on Friday.
Transport Minister Keith Brown said: "The hairpin bend and steep hill at Berriedale Braes has presented drivers with a very challenging road to negotiate - and is why we are working hard towards delivering improvements right along the A9, including at the Braes."
In August, the Scottish Chambers of Commerce (SCC) called for work to tackle the bend to be accelerated.
The Berriedale Braes were the scene of a lorry fire on 5 August which blocked the road for five hours. A 77-mile (124 km) detour was unsuitable for HGVs.
The SCC said accidents were a "frequent occurrence" and adversely affected businesses in the far north and Orkney.
Transport Scotland said a solution to the hairpin was being progressed.


Data about phone and computer use will be kept by telecommunications companies for two years if a bill introduced to the Australian parliament is passed.

The government today introduced its Data Retention Bill in a surprise move.
The bill would give law enforcement agencies access to two years' worth of customer "metadata" without a warrant.
The government says the laws could be used to target illicit downloading of movies or music, and make it easier to identify suspected paedophiles.
"Access to metadata plays a central role in almost every counter-terrorism, counter-espionage, cyber security, organised crime investigation," Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull told parliament.
He said criminal investigations had been hampered by authorities' lack of access to metadata.
The bill does not clearly define metadata but the government said it would not include the content of calls or emails, web browsing history or website addresses.
At a press conference, Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin said the scheme would help crack down on online copyright infringement.
"Illegal downloads, piracy, cyber crimes, cyber security, all these matters - our ability to investigate them is absolutely pinned to our ability to retrieve and use metadata," the commissioner said.
The bill is the second part of the government's national security reforms. On Wednesday, the Senate passed its "foreign fighters" bill that will allow the government to suspend passports at short notice and make it an offence to travel to certain areas without a valid reason.
There are concerns the bill would impinge on people's privacy but Attorney-General George Brandis said at the press conference the bill was not about granting security agencies greater powers.
"It is about consistent laws about metadata," he said. Mr Turnbull added that the bill did not aim to create new classes of data to be retained.
The Greens, Liberal Democrat Senator David Leyonhjelm and independent Senator Nick Xenophon are not expected to support the bill. The Labor party wants more community consultation before the bill is passed.
Meanwhile, Mr Brandis has sought to address concern that a new law carrying a prison term for those revealing information about certain secret operations - known as "special intelligence operations" - could hit journalists.
The attorney-general said the move was aimed at "a Snowden-type situation", referring to the US National Security Agency whistleblower who leaked classified information.
The law has sparked major concern from Australian media outlets.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten on Wednesday wrote to Prime Minister Tony Abbott, saying the legislation had the "potential to impinge upon public interest reporting on national security issues''.
Mr Brandis said a safeguard would be added giving the attorney-general of the day a veto over prosecutions of journalists.
"It's a very powerful, practical safeguard for a minister, who is a practising politician, to assume personal responsibility for authorising the prosecution of a journalist,'' he said.


Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has been unfazed by his "huge" £36m transfer fee, says Martin Keown.

The 19-year-old, who joined from Monaco on transfer deadline day, scored twice in Sunday's 3-2 win over Southampton as United moved to second in the table.
The Frenchman now has three goals from his first two Premier League games.
"He's been absolutely magnificent. They could not have hoped for any more," former Arsenal and England defender Keown told Match of the Day 3.
"There was a huge transfer fee on his head, but it doesn't seem to bother him. Every time he is in front of goal he seems to be at his happiest."
Martial became the most expensive teenager ever when he moved to Old Trafford, and the signing was met with surprise by some commentators in the media.
Already an established France Under-21 international, he had just been called up to the senior national team when he joined Louis van Gaal's side at the beginning of September.
And with team-mate Wayne Rooney having yet to score in the league this season, Martial has already proved vital to United.
"I thought they would take him off at 3-1 and they do need to manage him well. He's only a young boy really," said Keown.
"But he looks very powerful and mature and he's well beyond the age he played at on Sunday."


A mystery sinkhole has appeared for a third time on a popular Devon beach.

An area has been cordoned off after people reported water and bubbles spurting from the sand at Orcombe Point, near Exmouth.
It is more than 6ft (1.8m) wide and believed to be up to 10ft (3m) deep - and could be caused by a spring or outfall pipe beneath, authorities said.
East Devon District Council cordoned the area off around the hole and said it was investigating.
Nick Christow, from the council, said its appearance seemed to be linked with heavy rainfall.
"We don't know the full extent of what the dangers could be. Our advice is to take precautions, use a bit of common sense and stay out of the area," he said.
"We believe there may be a spring underneath there...and we're also investigating the possibility that there might be an outfall pipe as well that may have been cracked or blocked."
Sharon Sweeny, who lives nearby, said she spotted "something bubbling up" on Monday morning.
"There's something going on, it's weird. It's never been like this before this year."
She said she hoped authorities would find out what was going on as a matter of urgency, in case someone was hurt. "It could be like sinking sand," she said.
"There's got to be something underneath."


Republican Donald Trump has described US President Barack Obama as the "founder" of the Islamic State group.

"They honour President Obama," he told a rally in Florida on Wednesday. "He is the founder of Isis [Islamic State].
Mr Trump also attacked his Democratic rival for the White House, Hillary Clinton, calling her a "co-founder".
She responded by accusing him of "trash-talking" the US and echoing the talking points of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr Trump stood by his remarks on Thursday, using a sports phrase to say Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton were the Islamic State's "most valuable players".
The Republican presidential nominee has endured 10 days of negative headlines after a string of controversial comments.
Most recently, he appeared to urge his supporters to take up arms against Mrs Clinton to stop her from appointing liberal judges to the US Supreme Court if she wins the election.
The hotel developer-turned-politician denied he was inciting violence, but the daughter of former President Ronald Reagan, who was shot in 1981, condemned his "verbal violence".
Patti Davis wrote on Facebook: "It was heard by the person sitting alone in a room, locked in his own dark fantasies, who sees unbridled violence as a way to make his mark in the world, and is just looking for ideas.
"Yes, Mr. Trump, words matter. But then you know that, which makes this all even more horrifying."
Mr Trump's latest controversy, that the US president and his former secretary of state are responsible for creating Islamic State, is a reference to US foreign policy under Mr Obama.
He has often accused the president of allowing the militants to flourish and has regularly suggested he is actually a sympathiser of the group.
IS can trace its roots back to the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian who formed al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) after the US-led invasion in 2003. It became a major force in the insurgency, carrying out dozens of attacks a month.
After Zarqawi's death in 2006, AQI created a militant umbrella organisation, Islamic State in Iraq (ISI). Over the next four years, it was steadily weakened by a US troop surge and Sunni Arab tribal fighters who rejected its brutality.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi became leader in 2010 and began rebuilding ISI. The following year, ISI joined the rebellion in Syria, which offered it a safe haven and easy access to weapons, some of them supplied by US allies opposed to President Bashar al-Assad.
The group also exploited withdrawal of US troops from Iraq at the end of 2011 and widespread Sunni anger at the sectarian policies of the country's Shia-led government.
ISI changed its name to Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis or Isil) in 2013 and began seizing territory in Syria. In 2014, Isis overran large swathes of northern and western Iraq, proclaimed the creation of a "caliphate", and became Islamic State.
The White House has not commented on the "IS founder" claim but a spokesman for Mrs Clinton said: "This is another example of Donald Trump trash-talking the United States.
"What's remarkable about Trump's comments is that once again, he's echoing the talking points of Putin and our adversaries to attack American leaders and American interests, while failing to offer any serious plans to confront terrorism or make this country more secure."
In recent weeks, several leading Republicans have deserted Mr Trump over his outspoken attacks.
Most recently, Senator Susan Collins said she would not be voting for him, pointing to a time he seemed to mock a disabled journalist.
Time Magazine on Thursday reported that the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, had threatened to withdraw funding from the Trump campaign, and instead direct it to Congressional campaigns.
Mr Trump denies that this conversation ever took place.
Polls suggest support for the embattled candidate has been falling in key battleground states in recent weeks.


Inflation in the eurozone remained at 0.2% in December, unchanged from November, official statistics show.

Price growth in food, alcohol and tobacco slowed slightly compared with November, while the drop in energy prices was also smaller, according to Eurostat estimates.
The rate was lower than the 0.3% rise expected by economists.
The data will put pressure on the European Central Bank to act further to boost the struggling European economy.
The central bank disappointed market hopes last month with its attempts to revive the economy, which were less dramatic than analysts had expected.
The inflation figures are an early, flash estimate from Eurostat and so are not broken down by member states.
It does give broad indications of which groups of products have gone up or down.
Food, alcohol and tobacco prices were estimated to be rising 1.2% year-on-year in December, compared with 1.5% in November.
Energy prices were falling an annual 5.9%, compared with 7.3% a month earlier.
And the price of services was up 1.1%, compared with 1.2% the month before.


The new director of public prosecutions is to be Alison Saunders, the attorney general has announced.

Ms Saunders will head the Crown Prosecution Service when Keir Starmer stands down in October.
The career CPS lawyer has overseen some of the country's most important prosecutions and is currently the organisation's London chief.
The DPP is the most senior criminal prosecutor in England and Wales, responsible for more than 6,800 staff.
By Clive ColemanLegal correspondent, BBC News
The role of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is critical within the criminal justice system of England and Wales.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the organisation that can deliver justice by making independent decisions as to whether there is sufficient evidence to charge a suspect, and when it decides that there is, by prosecuting the case effectively.
It works closely with the police but must always be seen to make independent and dispassionate decisions based upon the evidence gathered.
It can only prosecute when it concludes that there is sufficient evidence for there to be a realistic prospect of conviction, and that the prosecution is in the public interest.
The DPP is the hands-on, day-to-day head of the CPS - which is currently negotiating a period of austerity and modernisation. Maintaining public confidence in it will be critical.
The Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, said: "Alison will make an excellent director of public prosecutions and is the right person to help the Crown Prosecution Service meet the challenges it will face in the coming years.
"I am particularly pleased that Alison is the first head of the CPS to be appointed from within its ranks as proof of the high quality of the professionals that work within the service.
"I'd also like to thank Keir Starmer for the great contribution he has made - not only to the CPS but more generally to the criminal justice system.  He can be proud of the reforms that he and his staff have led to keep our criminal justice system one of the best in the world."
Ms Saunders said: "I am delighted and privileged to be appointed as the next director of public prosecutions. To lead an organisation of committed and professional staff is an honour, especially having worked for the CPS since its inception."
Ms Saunders spent the early part of her career prosecuting in south London before working on CPS policy in relation to child victims and witnesses.
In 2001 she became chief crown prosecutor for Sussex and oversaw the prosecution of Roy Whiting for the abduction and murder of eight-year-old Sarah Payne.
She then briefly left the CPS to join government as a deputy legal adviser to the attorney general. On her return, she set up the CPS organised crime division which deals with complex cases including human trafficking, drugs, counterfeiting and money laundering across borders.
In 2009 Alison Sanders was named chief crown prosecutor for London, which deals with more than 200,000 cases a year.
She oversaw the successful 2012 prosecution of two of the men who attacked and killed Stephen Lawrence in 1993. She also oversaw the huge number of prosecutions in London in relation to the August 2011 rioting, which led to 1,000 people being jailed.


Southampton have concluded there is "no evidence" to support allegations of wrongdoing made by a newspaper against its assistant manager Eric Black.

The Daily Telegraph claimed Black had advised undercover reporters how to bribe officials at other clubs.
During an internal investigation, Southampton requested the Telegraph provide them with evidence.
In a statement, it said: "There is no evidence of any wrongdoing, as such the club now considers the matter closed."
The statement added: "Despite numerous requests to provide the club with any evidence relating to the allegation against Mr Black, none has been forthcoming. "
Black, 54, joined the Premier League club in June as assistant to manager Claude Puel.
The former Aston Villa caretaker manager and Aberdeen striker denied the allegations.


Entrepreneur Michelle Mone has resigned from the board of Ultimo, the lingerie and swimwear firm she founded in 1996.

Ultimo revealed Ms Mone left its board and the board of parent group MJM International earlier this month.
Recently, she was appointed by the government to carry out a review into how best to encourage start-ups in areas of high unemployment.
Ultimo said new projects and commitments had left limited time for her engagements with the firm.
Glasgow-born Ms Mone, 43, co-founded the original Ultimo parent company MJM International with her ex-husband Michael in 1996, and created brands including Ultimo Miracle Shapewear and Miss Ultimo.
She sold an 80% stake in the firm last year to Sri Lanka-based lingerie group MAS Holdings in a multi-million pound deal.
In a statement, Ultimo said: "Ultimo wishes Michelle every success in her new personal projects and public engagements, and thanks her for contributions in the past and for her future support of Ultimo's growth."
Ms Mone has a high media profile and has appeared on TV shows as diverse as The Apprentice, Celebrity Masterchef and Surprise Surprise.
She also owns stakes in a tanning firm, a slimming business and works as a motivational speaker.


At least six people have been arrested over the sexual molestation of women during New Year's Eve celebrations in the Indian city of Bangalore.

Local police inspector Hemant Nimbalkar said the arrests were made after several video clips were shared online showing women being attacked by men.
Police initially played down reports of sex attacks, saying they had received no official complaints.
But after viewing CCTV police officials admitted there was "credible evidence".
The attacks took place as a crowd of 10,000 gathered in the centre of the city to see in New Year on Saturday evening.
Several women described being surrounded by mobs of men before being assaulted. One video showed two men on a motorbike attack a woman as she walked down a street.
One woman, a marketing professional who asked to be identified only as Pooja, told the BBC that she was assaulted both in the bar and as she walked to meet a friend.
Even when she formed a circle with another group of girls to try and walk to safety, "there were guys who were trying to touch here and there", she said.
"There was not a single face you could make out or who was doing it," she said, pointing out how difficult it would be to file a complaint.
"I felt helpless," she said. "Although I have hands and legs and I could abuse and slap them, I could not do anything. I didn't know who was touching me and groping me."
Karnataka State Home Minister G Parameshwara caused widespread anger when he blamed young women for "copying the Westerners, not only in their mindset, but even in their dressing".
"These kind of things do happen," he said.
National Commission for Women chief Lalitha Kumaramangalam called for Mr Parameshwara to apologise and resign.


Rescuers carried an injured man for three miles after he fell more than 130ft (40m) down a Cumbrian mountain.

The man, who has not been named, was with a friend on Scales Fell, one of the Blencathra peaks, on Thursday.
The terrain meant an air ambulance was unable to land at the scene, so members of the Keswick mountain rescue team took the decision to carry him to a waiting helicopter.
The man was taken to hospital in Newcastle with severe head injuries.
A spokesman for the rescue team said: "Two walkers on their way down Blencathra spotted something blue on a lower path.
"As they watched, they saw an arm move, and realised to their horror that it was a man in distress.
"One of them got down to him, and realised that he had fallen some considerable distance from the path above, and had suffered serious head injuries.
"A decision was taken to carry the patient down. This was achieved successfully and the casualty was then airlifted to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.
A spokesman for the Great North Air Ambulance added: "The helicopter took our doctor and paramedic as close to the scene as was safe, before landing at the base of Scales Fell.
"The patient was assessed and treated before being carried three miles down to the helicopter."


Tour de France leader Chris Froome believes he will never be able to completely silence the questions over whether he is drugs-free.

The 30-year-old Briton's impressive climb to victory on stage 10 of this year's race has been described as "abnormal" by a French physiologist.
Team Sky released data on Tuesday to prove his innocence.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I'd imagine it's going to be never-ending," said Froome after keeping hold of the yellow jersey on stage 17.
Tuesday's rest day was dominated by conjecture about Froome's performances, after physiologist Pierre Sallet produced his own data on television channel France 2, who displayed pictures of shamed drugs cheat Lance Armstrong alongside Froome's climb at La Pierre-Saint-Martin.
Sallet has insisted the data he has on Froome is accurate, despite Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford saying it was "wildly wrong" and Sky's head of performance Tim Kerrison presenting a set of numbers that he says prove the claims are incorrect.
"I was quite sure when we released the file yesterday it wouldn't be enough. The data will never be enough," Froome said.
"There are a lot of people out there who have already made up their minds and no matter what information we release or make public that's not going to change their opinions."
Kenya-born Froome believes he could only truly prove he is not doping by releasing all of the data related to his training and physiology, but says that would aid rival teams.
"For Team Sky that's our competitive advantage. That intellectual property would mean giving away our training programmes," he said.
"Guys like Tim Kerrison have spent years developing these programmes.
"It's crazy for us just to give it away. The team has made it perfectly clear that they're happy to surrender all the power data, everything, to the right independent bodies.
"If WADA [World Anti-Doping Agency], for example, or the [cycling governing body] UCI wanted to collect that information, the team would be very happy to give it to them on the basis that all other teams did the same."
Speaking before Wednesday's stage 17, in which Froome maintained his three minutes, 10 seconds lead over Nairo Quintana, Sallet said he wanted more information.
Sallet said: "I'd be happy if he is unique but we need more information."
The head of Athletes for Transparency, a not for profit anti-doping agency, told BBC Radio 5 live: "I don't say Froome is a doping athlete. If we have more detail, we can easily say it is a unique profile or doping,
"It could be a unique profile, classical doping - using haematological drugs, like EPO - or mechanical doping which is using a motor in your bike. People need to know."
And Sallet pointed out that he was only focusing on Froome because he is in the yellow jersey.
"If the yellow jersey was a French athlete, we would put in the same energy," he said. "It's not against Froome. We want to understand."


Tommy Wright felt St Johnstone were denied two penalties against Celtic and was upset at the award of a spot-kick for Brendan Rodgers' team, who won 5-2.

Trailing 2-1, Celtic were controversially given a penalty for handball against Keith Watson.
And manager Wright says infringements on Saints' Danny Swanson and Joe Shaughnessy in the box went unpunished.
"My players have done their job, Celtic have done their job, but unfortunately the officials haven't," he said.
"We actually should've had two penalties, if we're going to be honest.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Danny's is a penalty. I've seen it back, thought it was at the time. It was a penalty.
"When a player contacts a player, makes no contact on the ball in the box, it's a penalty.
"You can quite clearly see his left knee gets pushed in, so there was contact [from Scott Brown] and that should've been a penalty.
"Joe Shaughnessy's dragged to the ground when the ball's in flight. The referee blows his whistle, warns the Celtic player. That should've been a penalty.
"And their penalty, if I live to 100, should never be a penalty. Absolutely, it should never be a penalty. I don't know how he can give it. I genuinely don't know how he can give it. I don't.
"I've been able to shout on to him [referee Craig Thomson] on the pitch and he puts his hands up to me as if he's caught the ball and it hasn't. It's hit his hip and probably touched his elbow. You can see that on the replay.
"You couldn't be sure. To give a penalty, you've got to be 100% and that'll be his answer with Danny's one, but certainly not with that [penalty awarded against Watson]. That cannot, should not happen at this level of football."
After substitute Moussa Dembele converted the spot-kick, the French striker scored again and completed his hat-trick after Scott Sinclair had fired Celtic's fourth goal.
Earlier, Liam Henderson had put Celtic ahead, but Watson's header and an own goal by Dedryck Boyata turned the match temporarily in Saints' favour.
"Granted, Celtic could go on and win the game 3-2, 4-2 without that decision because they've got so much talent and they bring on a striker [Dembele] reputedly valued at £40m, a quality player, and what they've got on their bench and what they had on the pitch," Wright told BBC Scotland.
"They had started the second half well, we had weathered that storm and the game was quietening down again, which was suiting us.
"The decision ultimately changes the whole dynamics of the game, gives Celtic a lift. It shouldn't deflate us a little bit, but it probably does. The players are angry and ultimately that is a game changer.
"We did look a real threat. With the ball, we were slightly better than what we had been against them."
Asked if he was going to speak to referee Thomson, Wright replied: "No, I'll be consistent, I'm not going in because I don't really see the point."
Rodgers had sympathy for his fellow manager and Northern Irish compatriot.
"If I'm Tommy then you're obviously bitterly disappointed," he said.
"You're 2-1 up. If they can keep hanging in there and hanging in then you never know what can happen.
"We get that wee rub of the green. We've had other moments when we haven't had it, but if I'm Tommy, I'm disappointed.
"For us, I'm happy to take it. Great penalty by Moussa and he's only on the field, but then after that we're really fast and clinical in our game."
Celtic's fifth goal came when Mikael Lustig's rabona trick found Callum McGregor, who in turn back-heeled for Dembele to score.
"The last goal was sensational," added Rodgers. "Mika from right-back's had about six or seven one-twos and great bit of skill, so that shows you the confidence, where the players are at."


A former Belfast-based priest, whose church is close to the Champs Elysee in Paris, had a sense there was "something in the air" ahead of Thursday's terror attack.

A policeman was shot dead and two others were injured by an Islamist gunman who was then killed by police.
Fr Aiden Troy was based in north Belfast during the 2001 Holy Cross school dispute, but now works in Paris.
He described a "grim scene" in the area after Thursday's attack.
Fr Troy had been visiting parishioners and returned to the train station at the Champs Elysee about an hour after the attack, which was claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS).
"The Champs Elysee of course, rightly so, was closed completely to everything except to police and ambulances - there were still ambulances around when I arrived," said Fr Troy.
"There were some people who were trying to get back to their hotels and accommodation on the Champs Elysee itself.
"You could see there was quite a bit of distress and lots of small children because there had been a huge influx of tourists for Easter. So it was a pretty grim scene last night."
A car pulled up alongside a police bus just before 21:00 (19:00 GMT) and a man got out, opening fire on the bus with an automatic weapon, Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said.
After killing an officer, the man attempted to run away while shooting at other officers, two of whom he injured, the spokesman added.
He was then shot dead by security forces.
Terrified eyewitness later recounted scenes of panic as they ran for cover after hearing gunfire.
The whole of the Champs-Elysees was evacuated.
Overnight, a property in the eastern Parisian suburb of Chelles was searched by investigators, who want to know who else - if anyone - may have known about the gunman's plans.
Fr Troy said security was very visible in the area before Thursday night's attack.
"I was going over to the school where I'm chaplain and I have never seen so many police, police checks - people being pulled in in motor cars," he said.
"I really got a sense there was something in the air."
The priests said that in the aftermath of the attack, as well as recent arrests in Marseilles and amid anxiety about Sunday's presidential poll, there was a real sense of concern in the city.
"I've been on the Champs Elysee this morning and like every other city, Belfast or wherever, traffic is running again, the street is open, I saw deliveries being made to restaurants, but there's still a sense of apprehension," he said.
"Maybe that's just me, but there certainly is something, people are really concerned now."
The gunman who carried out Thursday's attack has been identified from papers left in his car, but French officials are yet to release his name.
Local media say the 39-year-old lived in the city's suburbs, and had been seen as a potential Islamist radical.
So-called Islamic State (IS) said one of its "fighters" had carried out the attack.


The Young Britons' Foundation has been portrayed as a "Tory madrasa" used to teach young Conservatives the "dark arts" of politics.

Its image hasn't been helped by the fact that one of its alumni is Mark Clarke. He stands accused of bullying a young activist, Elliott Johnson, who took his life in September.
More recently the YBF was described as a "cult" by Elliott Johnson's father Ray, who said it was "indoctrinating" those who attended.
Mr Clarke denies the allegations made against him, but what do we know about the YBF and how it operates?
Founded in 2003, YBF organises events for young people with conservative views to meet up and discuss politics.
About 100 people attend its annual conference. Over the course of a weekend, young delegates will meet and hear talks from some of the most influential figures in the Conservative movement.
Past speakers have included current and former cabinet ministers including Robert Halfon, Michael Gove, Eric Pickles and Grant Shapps.
Members from UKIP, Young America's Foundation and libertarian pressure group The Freedom Association have also made appearances.
However, terms and conditions apply.
Firstly, attendance at all of the talks is compulsory. Secondly, everything said falls under the Chatham House Rule.
This allows people to use the information they hear but not to reveal who said it. Tickets to the event, which include accommodation, drinks receptions and banquet dinners, are heavily subsidised and cost £45 for students.
However, point three of the terms and conditions states that anyone in breach of rules one or two is liable to pay the full conference price of £500.
I've been told the rule has never been enforced but it's there to stop people taking advantage of the generosity of those footing the lion's share of the bill.
A solicitor called Donal Blaney. Although he's listed as one of Britain's most influential right-wingers, most people have probably never heard of him.
The 41-year-old rarely gives interviews to the media. "I think people think that I am sat on a desert island stroking a white cat and plotting the revolution," he says when we eventually meet up in London.
He's quick to add that the Bond villain image couldn't be further from the truth.
He is, he says, a very private person. For that reason he has done very little to correct the myths about him and his organisation.
For example, he's often credited with coining the phrase "conservative madrasa" to describe the YBF.  In fact, he says he never said it - it was a political ally who used it once in a conversation years ago.
Outside of the YBF he is the chairman of Conservative Way Forward, set up by Margaret Thatcher in 1991. David Cameron has described it as "the largest and most effective pressure group within the Conservative movement today".
YBF is very much Donal Blaney's personal project. He says it's funded almost entirely from his own pocket to the tune of about £50,000 per year. It has been rumoured that the organisation was funded by the CIA, something Mr Blaney laughs at.
"That was a joke I played on the Guardian in 2003. They asked whether we were funded from abroad and I thought I'd have some fun with them by saying, 'Yes, we've had some funding from Northern Virginia.' They said, 'Do you mean the CIA?' And I said 'I'm not answering that question,' and put the phone down. I had received $100 from a friend of mine who lived and worked in Northern Virginia."

Donal Blaney makes a point of distinguishing his own political views from those of the YBF, which he says is a broad-church for anyone from "Heathites" to "Thatcherites".
However, Euroscepticism, free market libertarianism, and reverence for the record of Margaret Thatcher are the sort of political attitudes regarded as "sound" in YBF.
"The Young Britons' Foundation identifies, trains, mentors and helps to place young conservatives in public life," says Mr Blaney.
"Some might become members of Parliament, some might become councillors, some might become journalists and some might go and earn a packet of money in the City."
The way it tries to train or mentor them is through a series of workshops held at their conferences. The topics include public speaking, debating, appearing in the media, door-to-door campaigning and how to raise funds.
Mr Blaney says YBF events are meant to be "fun, lively and irreverent gatherings of like-minded people".
However, there are those who believe it's not all as innocent as it sounds.
It's because of the death of Elliott Johnson, a 21-year-old member of the youth wing of the Conservative Party.
He took his life in September and left a note saying he had been bullied by older Tory activists including Mark Clarke, a former director of outreach of YBF.
After failing to win a seat when he stood as the Conservative candidate at the 2010 general election, Mr Clarke was the subject of a number of complaints from his local party. As a result he was thrown off the Conservative Party's candidates' list for future elections. He then became more involved with the YBF.
Elliott Johnson also attended YBF events.  It was at the group's annual conference last year that Mark Clarke used his speech to criticise and humiliate a young, female Conservative activist.
We were told that Mr Clarke then persuaded Elliott Johnson to continue the personal attack on his blog.
Since Elliott's death many others have come forward to say that they too have been bullied or harassed by Mark Clarke and others involved in the Conservative Party's youth wing. Many of those alleged aggressors are also seen as "graduates" of YBF training, as are many of the alleged victims.
"I can't say for sure but the one thing that links all these people is the Young Britons' Foundation," says Aaron Ellis, a young Tory activist - who concedes he has never attended a YBF event himself.
"Their definition of conservatism was very restrictive and tied up with that was an obsession with the political dark arts."
He explained that he believed that some people who had attended YBF training sessions had been taught how to manipulate the media and brief against their opponents without being found out.
Donal Blaney completely rejects the notion that his organisation has encouraged anyone to bully or intimidate others and told me that the suggestion YBF has done so is "grossly offensive". He stresses that young people attending YBF are explicitly told that personal attacks on opponents are "off limits".
The Conservative Party has launched an investigation into numerous bullying allegations and the death of Elliott Johnson.
It's being carried out by the law firm Clifford Chance. Meanwhile YBF has distanced itself from Mark Clarke.
All references to him, including details of an award he was given in December 2014, were deleted from the organisation's website.
Donal Blaney insists this is not an attempt to erase the past or pretend he was never friends with Mark Clarke.
"I take the view that Mark Clarke's behaviour speaks for itself. I wish I had had nothing to do with him," he said.
In recent days YBF has gone even further and the only thing you can now find on its website is a statement explaining why it has postponed this year's annual conference that was due to take place this weekend.


Spark Plug charged up the near-side rail to give jockey Jimmy Fortune his second win in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket.

The Brian Meehan-trained colt (12-1) dominated the 31-strong field to win by two lengths from Carry on Deryck.
Veteran jockey Joe Fanning won a first Group One race on 25-1 shot The Last Lion in the Middle Park Stakes.
Brave Anna won the Cheveley Park Stakes at the same price, beating stablemate Roly Poly (11-2) by a short head.
Odds-on favourite Lady Aurelia faded badly to finish third as trainer Aidan O'Brien claimed his first victory in the race.
In the Cambridgeshire, Fortune, successful on Pipedreamer in 2007, made the most of his draw on the stands side to grab the rail where it mattered and take the lead in the final furlong.
Very Talented (11-1) was a length behind Godolphin stablemate Carry on Deryck (20-1), with last year's winner Third Time Lucky (14-1) staying on well for fourth.
Fanning has had more than 2,000 winners but victory on The Last Lion in the Middle Park Stakes - on his 46th birthday - will be one of the most memorable.
He gave the Mark Johnston-trained colt the rein to roll from the start and the two-year-old was not for passing as he won by three-quarters of a length from Gimcrack winner and favourite Blue Point (11-10).
Fanning said: "I've ridden a lot of Group Twos and Threes, but never a Group One so it's nice to finally nail that one."
BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght on the Middle Park Stakes
Plenty won't have heard of the Irishman whose first winner came over hurdles so long ago (1989) that Peter Scudamore was champion jump jockey and Mrs Thatcher was prime minister.
He has built a fine reputation as the winner of more than 2,000 races, many for Mark Johnston, who has described probably his most regularly used rider as "worth his weight in gold".
Fanning isn't stopping yet, but had this outstanding judge of pace on front-runners, the style favoured by so many of Johnston's horses, completed his career without a top-level win it would have been a notable omission on his CV. That won't now happen.

The former AC Milan striker's transfer will be completed on 1 July.
"Everyone at Swansea City would like to thank Alberto for his services and wish him well for the future," a statement on the club's website said.

A body has been recovered from a pond at a north London park, about six hours after reports a teenager was in difficulty in the water.

Police were first called to Hampstead Ponds, Hampstead Heath, at 17:30 BST on Wednesday, to reports a boy had been seen under the water.
About 30 firefighters attended and used three boats to search the water but were unable to find anything.
The body was recovered just before 23:00 BST by the Marine Policing Unit.
Wednesday was the hottest day of the year so far, with a temperature of 25C (77F) recorded in London.


The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has changed its guidance about "mild sex references" in the new Paddington film.

The announcement follows reports that Paddington author Michael Bond, 88, was "totally amazed" at the BBFC's advice.
After an approach from the film's distributor the BBFC altered the term "mild sex references" to "innuendo".
The film, out in the UK on 28 November, is rated a PG.
Ben Whishaw voices the marmalade-loving bear from Darkest Peru in the live-action film, which also stars Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Peter Capaldi and Nicole Kidman as a villainous taxidermist.
Bonneville, who plays Mr Brown, told the BBC on Tuesday that he thought it "hilarious" that the BBFC had mentioned "mild sex references" in relation to a scene in which he disguises himself as a cleaning woman and is flirted with by a security guard.
"I was scratching my head thinking 'what are the censors talking about?" he said. "There were four and five year olds watching it the other day laughing uproariously,  so I don't think it's going to damage any young children - or indeed any 75 year olds."
The film's director Paul King said he had expected the BBFC to issue a PG rating.
"I'm not surprised about that but I don't think it's a PG for sexiness. That I would find very odd," he said.
On Monday, the BBFC classified Paddington a PG with advice the film contained "dangerous behaviour, mild threat, mild sex references, [and] mild bad language".
When the decision was published, the film's distributor requested a reconsideration of the description "mild sex references" and more clarity to the frequency of mild bad language.
The BBFC said on Tuesday it had revised its wording to "dangerous behaviour, mild threat, innuendo, [and] infrequent mild bad language."
It said the mild innuendo included "a comic sequence in which a man disguised as a woman is flirted with by another man".  On the language issue it refers to "a single mumbled use of 'bloody'."
Michael Bond, who has a cameo appearance in the film, had earlier told the Daily Mail: "I can't imagine what the sex references are. It doesn't enter into it with the books, certainly."
Bond's Paddington books have sold 35 million copies worldwide since they were first published in 1958.


About 35,000 people have marched through the German city of Dresden in protest against recent so-called anti-Islamisation rallies, organisers say.

The turnout is nearly double that of the largest demonstration by anti-Islamists Pegida, held last Monday.
Saturday's counter-demonstration observed a minute's silence for the 17 victims of this week's terrorist attacks in France.
The next Pegida protest in Dresden will be held on Monday.
Some analysts say that numbers may grow as a result of the violence in France.
Demonstrators at the counter-rally on Saturday - which was jointly organised by the government of the state of Saxony and the city of Dresden - were joined by Saxony State Premier Stanislaw Tillich.
"Thirty-five thousand people [have] attended this event, and they made clear that they love this city and that they're proud of this city, and that this is a tolerant and cosmopolitan city," he said.
Likewise Dresden Mayor Helma Orosz urged supporters of Pegida (Patriotic Europeans against the Islamisation of the West) to change their minds and join the campaign against racism.
"I believe that this is a clear sign that our society is standing together, and furthermore that we're not forgetting those who are afraid, those who might march with Pegida on Monday," she said.
"We're not abandoning them, we're inviting them to come to us."
One unnamed protester told the BBC that the object of the demonstration was to make clear that Dresden was "a tolerant city open to anyone".
Pegida has been condemned by many mainstream politicians and large counter-demonstrations have also been held in Berlin, Cologne and Stuttgart.


Former Formula One world champion John Surtees has bought the karting track where Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button practised as youngsters.

Surtees, 81, who won seven world motorbike championships before becoming F1 World Champion with Ferrari in 1964, has bought Buckmore Park in Kent.
Modern-day F1 champions Hamilton and Button honed their skills on the Chatham circuit.
Surtees and Buckmore Park announced the sale on their websites.
John Surtees Ltd, based in Edenbridge on the Kent/Surrey border, has bought the business and assets of Buckmore Park, but the circuit's former owner Bill Sisley is to stay on as a consultant.
Surtees, who lives in Lingfied, also runs the Henry Surtees Foundation, set up in memory of his 18-year-old racing driver son who died in a crash during a Formula Two race at Brands Hatch.
Henry, who began driving as a child at Buckmore Park, was a pupil at Worth School, West Sussex, when he died.
A series of fundraising events has been held at the kart circuit in his name.


Somerset have signed South Africa opener Dean Elgar as their overseas player for 2017.

The 29-year-old left-hander, who has previously played for Surrey, has hit six centuries in 32 Test matches and a total of 28 in first-class cricket.
His arrival is set to fill the gap in Somerset's batting line-up vacated by the retirement of former captain Chris Rogers at the end of the 2016 season.
He will be available for all formats, around his international commitments.
Elgar joins a Somerset top order that includes new club captain Tom Abell and former England opener Marcus Trescothick, who signed a new deal for 2017 in August.
The Taunton-based side finished second in the County Championship in 2016, narrowly missing out on a maiden title as Middlesex triumphed on the final day of the season.
As a slow left-arm bowler, Elgar has also taken 13 Test wickets.
He first played for Somerset in 2013 on a short-term contract, when he provided cover for Alviro Petersen.


The heritage of England's last historical inland funicular railway has been recognised with a plaque.

Bridgnorth Cliff Railway in Shropshire was honoured with a Red Wheel plaque by the Transport Trust, a national charity that promotes the preservation of transport heritage.
The railway's owners described the plaque as "an honour and a privilege".
The trust said only ten such awards were made each year.
Dr Malvern Tipping, chairman of the railway, said it had opened in 1892 and provided a "vital transport link" between the high town and the low town.
He said it had also become a "major tourist attraction".
Dr Tipping and his family bought the railway in 2011.
He said he had only recently discovered he was related to the railway's founder, George Croydon Marks.
Lord Marks, the hydraulic engineer who started the railway, was Dr Tipping's great grandfather's third cousin but he only discovered this through research he did after the purchase.
"We had no idea about that when we bought the railway," he said. "It was just one of those quirky, historical things that caught our imagination, little realising we already had a link to it."
Peter Stone, from the Transport Trust, said the railway was only the 78th site to be awarded one of the plaques.
Sir William McAlpine, president of the Transport Trust, said he was pleased Bridgnorth Cliff Railway was owned by a family concern.
He added it was also pleasing it was back in the hands of relations of the original founders.


Fifa's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jiri Dvorak, is to ask football's world governing body to implement tougher rules on stadium medical care.

His comments come in the wake of the death of Cameroon's Patrick Ekeng.
The 26-year-old died of a suspected heart attack on 6 May playing for Dinamo Bucharest in Romania, with the ambulance that treated him having no defibrillator.
"At professional football matches, there should be an automatic external defibrillator (AED) on the sidelines and staff adequately trained to use it," Dvorak told BBC Sport.
"I will pass this on to the [Fifa] Council for a strategic decision so that we can implement it within our member associations."
An AED is a device that sends a powerful electric shock to a heart to try to restore its natural rhythm.
Following the death of another Cameroonian, Marc-Vivien Foe, in 2003, Fifa has ensured that all of its international competitions take place in stadiums with sufficient medical equipment.
"We also have to see that competitions at national levels have the same standard of care," said Dvorak.
"We have to intensify this campaign all over the world."
Following Ekeng's death, his agent Hasan Anil Eken proposed a new ruling called the 'Eken'g Rule' in which he called on Fifa to make small hospitals a mandatory requirement for every stadium.
This came after what the Turk described as 'unacceptable mistakes' in the treatment of Ekeng, who was buried in Cameroon on Sunday.
Ekeng's medical assistance is currently subject to an inquiry by prosecutors in Romania after the ambulance company was heavily criticised by the country's Interior Ministry.
In a statement, the Ministry said the company Puls had chosen to supply ambulances without defibrillators 'without previously acquiring the legal approval in this respect.'
An investigation into other ambulances provided by Puls discovered defibrillator machines with expired batteries while some medicine, such as adrenaline shots, had expired.
"There were unacceptable mistakes caused to lose his life, with wrong doctor intervention and a lack of medical equipment like defibrillator," Eken said in his letter to Fifa.
"In these kinds of injuries, every second is very important to save lives."
Fifa says players that have suffered sudden cardiac arrest have 'a success rate of 90% for resuscitation' if they receive treatment from an AED within 1-2 minutes, with the probability of success declining at a rate of 'about 10% per minute' thereafter.
Video evidence shows that Ekeng was still in the insufficiently-equipped ambulance on the pitch two minutes and 45 seconds after he collapsed, prior to being taken to hospital.
Dvorak has welcomed Eken's proposal for better facilities inside a stadium but suggests logistical and financial concerns rule it out as a possibility.
"The mini-hospital is a good idea, but this is not feasible to establish all around the world," said the Czech.
"Having a defibrillator and educated staff is currently sufficient to deal with the situation."
Dvorak also revealed his reaction to hearing that the ambulance treating Ekeng had no defibrillator.
"The question is why then have the ambulance there? If you have an ambulance, it is an absolute must to have a defibrillator within the ambulance."
Paramedics who treated Fabrice Muamba when he collapsed at White Hart Lane in 2012 have credited the use of an AED on the Bolton Wanderers player as he lay on the pitch as being critical to his survival.
In 2013, Fifa issued a Medical Emergency Bag, which contains an AED among other equipment, to all its member associations, but this is largely used for international - not club - matches.
This month alone, three players have died of suspected heart attacks - with Brazil's Bernardo Ribeiro and another Cameroonian, Jeanine Christelle Djomnam, as well as Ekeng.


A new measure to combat fuel laundering should result in the illegal trade being "virtually eliminated" in the UK, according to HM Revenue and Customs.

Fuel launderers evade taxes by removing dye from red diesel, which is cheaper than regular diesel and is intended only for off-road agricultural use.
It is prevalent in Northern Ireland, costing Â£80m a year in lost taxes.
However, a new dye is set to be introduced next year, which HMRC said will be almost impossible to remove.
It means that motorists who use discounted red diesel for non-agricultural use should be easily detected during roadside checks.
Pat Curtis, a senior officer from HMRC's specialist investigations unit, told the Press Association: "The whole idea of this marker is to virtually eliminate laundering."
Fuel laundering not only results in lost revenue for the state, but also damages the environment, as toxic waste is often dumped in rural areas, leaving local authorities to pick up the bill for waste removal.
In recent years, the problem has been particularly acute in border areas of Northern Ireland.
Nearly a third of all illegal fuel sales detected in the UK in 2012/13 were in Northern Ireland, according to figures provided by HMRC at the time.
HMRC has also repeatedly warned motorists that the illegal diesel trade was fuelling organised crime.
In an effort to combat the practice, the new dye will be introduced in both the UK and the Republic of Ireland next April.


World number one Novak Djokovic extended his winning run over Tomas Berdych to 10 matches with a straight-sets win at the Miami Open.

The top seed won their quarter-final 6-3 6-3 and will next face Belgian David Goffin.
Djokovic had treatment on his back in the second set, but asked about the issue he told BBC Sport: "No concerns, not at all."
The 28-year-old is trying to win his sixth Miami title and third in a row.
It is three years since Berdych earned one of only two wins over Djokovic in 24 meetings - and again it was the Serb who dominated.
In blustery conditions, Djokovic broke twice in the first set and he took control of the second after Berdych followed a woeful smash with a double fault.
The only alarm came when he called the trainer, but Djokovic resumed in the same dominant form and sealed victory with another service break.
"I was trying to find the rhythm on the serve," he said. "Evidently we both struggled with that.
"The swirly conditions on the court were quite tough. Once you toss the ball you can't predict where it's going to end up.
"That's why I had a little bit of a spasm in the back but Paul from the ATP did a great job."
Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka remain on course for the Indian Wells-Miami double, after both won in California two weeks ago.
Two-time Miami champion Azarenka, who reached the semi-finals with a 6-4 6-2 win over Britain's Johanna Konta, will play German second seed Angelique Kerber on Thursday.
"I still feel that I'm far from my best and that's what's really exciting for me, to be motivated, to keep improving," said Azarenka.
Kerber impressed in a 6-3 6-2 defeat of American Madison Keys, setting up a rematch with Azarenka after she beat the Belarusian on her way to winning the Australian Open in January.
"She had a great start of the year, of course," said Kerber. "She is on fire, I think, right now."


ITV is reportedly planning a nightly celebrity-based entertainment show that could push the News at Ten to 22:30.

According to Broadcast, the currently untitled show will begin in 2017 and have a regular time slot throughout the week across a two-month period.
It claimed the show will have revolving celebrity hosts and have segments with the potential to be shared online.
The programme could be aired at 22:30 or earlier at 22:00, which would mean the News at Ten would be shown later.
Broadcast magazine likened the show to The Late Late Show with James Corden, which has had great success on US network CBS, especially with its Carpool Karaoke and Drop the Mic segments.
ITV told BBC News it was "looking at an entertainment show for the new year" and said "more details will be confirmed in due course, including scheduling".
"There are occasions when the main bulletin moves for big entertainment event programming or sport," a spokesperson for the channel continued.
"However, we have no plans to permanently move the news from the 10pm slot."
Previous attempts to launch a nightly chat show in the UK include The Jack Docherty Show, which ran on Channel 5 from 1997 and 1999.
Graham Norton also had a nightly talk show, V Graham Norton, that ran on Channel 4 from May 2002 to December 2003.
