Hospital staff ran into their own car park to treat a driver who fell ill at the wheel and crashed into three cars.

The Land Rover hit a white van and a red Seat, which smashed through a wall and landed on the bonnet of a silver BMW X5, at Warwick Hospital.
The driver of the Land Rover was taken into the hospital to be treated after the accident at 16:20 GMT on Wednesday.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Thankfully no-one else was injured in the crash."


Justin Bieber has claimed the first UK number one single of 2016.

Bieber missed out on the Christmas number one after his single Love Yourself was knocked off the top spot by the NHS Choir's A Bridge Over You.
But his track returned to the summit in the first chart of 2016 while the NHS Choir's single dropped to number 29 - a new chart record for the biggest fall from the top spot.
Adele's album 25 remained at the top of the album chart for a sixth week.
Last week saw Bieber urge his Twitter followers to buy the NHS Choir's charity single, to help them secure the Christmas top slot. He tweeted:  "For 1 week it's OK not to be #1. Let's do the right thing & help them win. It's Christmas. "
This week, both Bieber's Sorry and What Do You Mean climbed one place to number two and number four respectively, with Adele's single Hello also shuffling up a place to number three.
Forever Young, the single by X Factor winner Louisa Johnson, surprisingly slipped out of the top 40 completely on its third week, despite having been expected to be a contender for the Christmas chart.
The record for the biggest drop from the top of the chart had been jointly held by McFly and Elvis Presley.
The boyband achieved the unwanted honour in 2007 when their double A-side Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania plummeted from number one to number 20 on its second week.
In early 2005, a series of limited edition Elvis Presley re-releases topped the chart and one of these - One Night/I Got Stung - also dropped from number one to number 20 as shops ran out of stock in the second week.
In the album chart, Adele remains well ahead of her closest rival in the album charts, Elvis Presley's If I Can Dream - at number two.
Bieber's album Purpose remains at number three, Jess Glynne's I Cry When I Laugh is at number four and One Direction returned to the top five with Made In The A.M rebounding three places.
Chart favourites Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and James Bay all re-entered the top 10 in the album chart at eight, nine and ten respectively.


Universities across England have spent some £20m on art to furnish their buildings or museums over the past five years, a BBC investigation has found.

One work of art, from the University of Oxford, cost £7.9m.
Unison criticised the spend, saying universities were choosing "style over substance".
Universities said the works of art often went on public display and were used for teaching and research.
A Freedom of Information request by the BBC collated the information for 2010-2015.
Anna Somers Cocks, chief executive of The Art Newspaper said: "It's a question of proportion, you have to distinguish what is for decorating and what is for public consumption.
"When a work of art is for a museum, the money comes from a different funding purse as the museum has a separate budget."

A Unison spokeswoman said: "Unison is appalled that universities can think about investing £20m in works of art when a significant number of institutions still pay their employees significantly less than the living wage.
"Universities must be more accountable on how they spend their money. The huge amount going on works of art suggests that during these austere times, universities are choosing style over substance.
"As nice as they might be to look at, paintings, statues and sculptures don't enhance teaching, and leave the lowest paid staff on campus unable to have a decent standard of living."
The most expensive item purchased by the University of Oxford was the Portrait of Mademoiselle Claus by the French impressionist Edouard Manet, which cost £7.9m, of which £5.9m was from the Heritage Lottery Fund and £850,000 from the Art Fund.
The piece was purchased for the university's Ashmolean Museum, which is open to the public free of charge.
A spokeswoman for the University of Oxford said: "The Ashmolean's mission is to be the world's greatest university museum of art and archaeology.
"The museum seeks to acquire objects and works of art, either through bequest, gift or purchase, which relate to and enhance the permanent collections.
"Newly acquired objects are made available to the widest possible audience for enjoyment and study, either by their display in the museum's galleries or by entering the study collections which are used by scholars, students and interested members of the public from across the world."
The University of Cambridge is home to eight museums, which contain more than five million objects, artefacts, and works of art.
During the period 2010-2015, the university spent £3.9m on Extreme Unction by the 17th Century Frenchman Nicolas Poussin.
A spokesman said the majority of the sum came from the Heritage Lottery Fund, £242,000 from the Art Fund and its members, with the rest coming from donations from other charitable organisations and the public.
"All of the works purchased have been acquired with funds raised or restricted specifically for the purpose of acquiring works for the museum collections.
"All major purchases go on public display, rather than being added to the reserve collections, and are frequently used for teaching and research.
"Extreme Unction also went on a UK-wide tour, allowing Cambridge to share the painting with the nation at large," he said.
Durham University said it was "a custodian of many fine treasures".
The Geosculpture, a geological map, was created by John De Pauley which cost £90,000. The university said the piece was largely funded by donations.
"The university organises regular free guided tours of the collection and staff, students and members of the public are encouraged to come and enjoy it," a spokesman said.
Oxford Brookes University said the institution began life as a School of Art 150 years ago and it was "proud of these roots".
A spokeswoman for Goldsmiths said: "The majority of the money spent on art was used to purchase student and graduate art works.
"We believe it is important to support our students in this way as they start their careers."


Dan Evans will play 17-year-old Denis Shapovalov in the opening rubber of Great Britain's Davis Cup first-round tie against Canada in Ottawa.

Friday's second singles rubber will be between Kyle Edmund and Vasek Pospisil.
Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot will contest Saturday's doubles rubber against Daniel Nestor and Pospisil.
Captain Leon Smith has confirmed world number one Andy Murray will not compete for Great Britain this weekend, saying it is the "right thing for him to do".
"We all miss Andy because he is such a great influence on the team both on and off the court," said Smith.
"Like we saw last year [in the match against Serbia when he watched as a spectator], he puts a lot of interest and care into this team."
World number three Milos Raonic pulled out of the Canadian team with an injury, meaning the hosts are without a top-100 singles player.


Bradford Bulls' membership of the Rugby Football League has been terminated after entering administration for a third time on Monday.

The Championship side could face a possible points deduction or relegation following Wednesday's announcement.
The RFL said the move was "normal when a club enters administration".
The four-time Super League Grand Final winners, who entered administration in both 2012 and 2014, finished fifth in the Championship in 2016.
Bradford were relegated from the top flight of rugby league in 2014 after receiving a six-point deduction for entering administration.
Bulls chairman Marc Green said he would not be commenting on the statement.
The RFL's statement said: "As is normal when a club enters administration, the RFL board has terminated Bradford Bulls Northern Limited's' membership of the RFL.
"The RFL is in discussion with the appointed administrators about their plans for the future of the club.
"This is clearly a distressing time for supporters, players and employees of Bradford Bulls. We will aim to keep them updated of any progress as and when we can."
The Bulls are scheduled to start the 2017 season at Hull KR on Sunday, 5 February.


A girl with a rare genetic condition which made her body age eight times faster than normal has died at the age of 17.

Hayley Okines, from Bexhill, East Sussex, became known as the 100-year-old teenager through her efforts to raise awareness of progeria.
Her mother, Kerry, announced Hayley's death on Thursday evening.
"My baby has gone somewhere better. She took her last breath in my arms at 9.39pm," she wrote.
Her father Mark said Hayley was being treated for pneumonia, and had briefly returned home from hospital on the day she died.
"She came home for an hour and she saw her puppies, little brother Louie and her sister Ruby," he said.
"I think she wanted to come home to say goodbye to everybody.
"I think she knew that yesterday was going to be the time."
Hayley, who published an autobiography at the age of 14, had made a number of appearances where she spoke about her condition.
The teenager had been told she would not live past the age of 13, but she went on to undergo a pioneering drug treatment in the US.
Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome causes accelerated ageing in those affected.
People with the condition also suffer heart problems, lack of growth and loss of body fat and hair.
It affects just 124 children worldwide.
The Progeria Research Foundation posted on its Facebook page: "The entire Progeria family mourns together with many as we say goodbye to Hayley Okines, our smart, beautiful and spirited English rose, who passed away today at age 17."
Phoebe Smith, whose 11-year-old daughter Ashanti also has the condition, said Hayley had inspired a lot of people.
"She will always be loved. She is my inspiration - her and her mum," she said.
"Her memory will definitely live on."


"Significant" archaeological finds from the Roman town of Verulamium have been uncovered during gas main works in St Albans.

Verulamium was the third largest city in Roman Britain and has been mapped by various excavations over the years.
The new holes revealed the location of the corner of the town wall and a previously unknown house.
District archaeologist Simon West said: "It's like having a jigsaw... and now there are two more pieces."
He added: "Eventually [we will] see the whole picture and now we have new information that we can tie down rather than speculate."
Verulamium was sited to the south west of what is now the city of St Albans in Hertfordshire.
Much of it was used for the construction of medieval St Albans and the Abbey and the rest is largely unexcavated and covered by park land.
Mr West said: "It's significant in that we've found the very corner of the town wall as it bends round [from the gate house to the Roman wall above the lake].
"We knew it must be there but we'd never seen it and never known precisely where it was.
"Plus we've found no evidence that there was a corner tower which gives us more information."
Another dig unearthed evidence for the interior of a house in an area previously thought to have been the location for a road.
The remains of an Opus Signinum floor - made of tiles broken up into very small pieces - have been uncovered.
"In theory this should have been a cross roads and what we've got are the remains of a Roman town house," Mr West said.
"There are individual pieces of Roman mosaic which suggests it was probably quite a high status house.
"We've now got to move the Roman road on [our] map to fit in the building."
The findings will now be recorded and the holes filled in, but finds such as pottery and animal bones will go to the Verulamium Museum.

More than 30,000 homes need to be built by 2031 in west Surrey to keep up with the county's growing population, according to a new report.

The Strategic Market Housing Assessment estimates between 1,522 and 2,053 properties need to be constructed each year in Guildford, Woking and Waverley.
It predicts the population in west Surrey will rise by 51,200 to 409,000.
The three councils that commissioned the report said it was helpful but the housing figures were not realistic.
Waverley Borough Council said it identified a housing need based on demographic trends but was only a "fraction of the picture"
Councillor Robert Knowles said there was nothing in the document about "how or where that need could be met".
"During our consultation last September, we tested a figure of 470 homes per year, residents raised many issues about infrastructure, roads, flood defences, power supplies, water and facilities such as schools and health services," he added.
"We simply can't plan for a number of homes that would be unsustainable for our towns and villages and must take into account infrastructure such as traffic, public transport, water and sewage as identified by our residents."


The Scottish National Party has won all eight constituency seats in Glasgow and all but wiped out Labour's constituency representation in the west of Scotland.

The party held its existing five seats in Glasgow and took Labour's last three - Provan, Pollok and Maryhill.
It also turned the electoral map yellow with gains from Labour in Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.
Labour's sole remaining constituency in west central Scotland is Dumbarton, which Jackie Baillie held by 109 votes.
The SNP's Humza Yousaf claimed victory in Pollok, with a majority of 6,484, denying former Labour leader Johann Lamont the seat she won in 2011 by just 623 votes.
In Provan, Ivan McKee was elected for the SNP, with 13,140 votes compared with 8,357 for Labour's Paul Martin.
In the Maryhill and Springburn seat, Labour's Patricia Ferguson lost to the SNP's Bob Doris. The SNP increased its share of the vote by almost 14%.
The SNP also held Cathcart, Kelvin, Shettleston and Southside where SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon was re-elected.
Labour clung on by taking four list seats in Glasgow, with former MP Anas Sarwar, Johann Lamont, Pauline McNeil and James Kelly elected.
Scottish Greens co-convener Patrick Harvie also took a list seat and Adam Tomkins and Annie Wells were elected for the Scottish Conservatives.
Labour's night of woe continued outside of Glasgow in territories which used to form the bedrock if its support in Scotland.
Across eight constituencies in North and South Lanarkshire, the SNP took four from Labour: Coatbridge and Chryston, Motherwell and Wishaw, Rutherglen and Uddingston and Bellshill.
The SNP also held Clydesdale, Airdrie and Shotts, Hamilton, and East Kilbride.
Across five constituencies in Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, Labour lost another three: Renfrewshire South and Greenock and Inverclyde both fell to the SNP and the Conservatives took Eastwood where former Scottish Labour leadership hopeful Ken MacIntosh was the incumbent.
The SNP also held Paisley and Renfrewshire North and West.
Across five constituencies in Ayrshire, the map remained static with the SNP holding Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley, Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley, Cunningham North and Cunningham South. The Conservatives held Ayr.
The three constituencies to the north of Glasgow, which straddle Argyll and Bute and East and West Dunbartonshire, also remained unchanged.
The SNP held both Strathkelvin and Bearsden and Clydebank and Milngavie, while Labour held Dumbarton.
The regional seats outside of Glasgow are spread across the West of Scotland, South of Scotland and Central Scotland lists.
As the SNP won most of the constituency seats, it picked up very little on the regional lists - scoring zero on the West and Central lists and just three in the South of Scotland list.
The Scottish Conservatives picked up a further eight seats across these list areas, with Labour gaining nine, the Scottish Greens one and the Liberal Democrats none.


Organisers of Glasgow's West End Festival want to raise £50,000 so they can reinstate the popular Byres Road street parade at next year's event.

The Mardi-Gras-style celebration is one of the festival's biggest draws and attracts up to 100,000 people.
It was previously dropped in 2012 after rising costs could not be met.
Organisers say they need to raise the £50,000 by early next year if the parade is to return and have set up a webpage for suggested donations of £5.
Festival chairwoman Liz Scobie said: "We took our time this year to think of how best to go about making sure the festival is sustainable in the future.
"We've come to realise that as the public are so enthusiastic about the parade and businesses in the west end increase takings on Festival Sunday, we need to start to ask for help and support in future years.
"We've never been able to ticket the event, so we can't charge for attending the parade, plus we've always wanted to ensure a real family day out for everyone to enjoy.
She added: "As a charity and organisation run by volunteers we now have to ask the public to contribute to helping ensure we can make Festival Sunday happen."
Organisers said the decision not to stage this year's parade was taken due to the increasing costs for licensing, road closures, cleansing, security and policing, and cuts of funding across the board in the arts.
Michael Dale, who founded the festival back in 1996, said: "It's just not possible to organise and run such a huge public event for free anymore.
"We're launching a fundraising campaign online and we're going to ask people to donate money through our website.
"We need to raise £50,000 by early next year if we're going to put an event on like Festival Sunday."
Mr Dale said organisers were also asking for people to give their thoughts on what Festival Sunday - the day of the parade - could look like.
He added: "It might not be as it has been in previous years, firstly depending on funds and secondly, the public and businesses have the opportunity to shape something really special and potentially new."
The West End Festival marks its 21st anniversary this year and runs from 3-26 June.


Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has pulled out of this month's US Open because of injury.

Whenever I hurt myself, I often come back again even stronger
The world number eight is not fully fit after a knee problem forced him to withdraw during his second-round match at Wimbledon in June.
"It would be stupid to go there knowing full well that I have no chance because I'm not prepared enough," the Frenchman, 28, told his website.
The US Open at Flushing Meadows begins on 26 August, with Britain's Andy Murray the defending champion.
"I have to take care of me and make sure I can play 100%," said Tsonga.
"The doctors told me that it would be at least two months for my tendon to partially heal and five months to be completely healed."

Inflation has reached its highest rate for two-and-a-half years, mainly as a result of the rising price of fuel.

Annual inflation as measured by the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) reached 1.8% last month, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, up from a rate of 1.6% in December.
It is the fourth consecutive month that the rate has risen and takes inflation to its highest since June 2014.
Fuel prices hit a two-year high in early February, according to the RAC.
As well as fuel, the ONS said food prices also contributed to the rise in inflation, as prices were unchanged between December and January, having fallen a year ago.
Offsetting these factors, the prices of clothing and footwear fell by more than they did 12 months ago.
Inflation means inflation, but who wins?
The increase in the inflation rate takes it closer to the Bank of England's target rate of 2%, which was last seen in December 2013.
Inflation is widely expected to pick up this year as a result of the weaker pound, which is making imported goods more expensive.
Earlier this month, the Bank of England said it expected the inflation rate would hit 2.7% next year.
Separate ONS figures for producer prices showed that input prices - the amount paid for materials and fuel by UK manufacturers - rose at an annual rate of 20.5% in January, the fastest pace since September 2008, and a rapid pick up in pace from the 15.8% figure seen in December.
The prices of goods leaving factories were up 3.5%
ONS head of inflation Mike Prestwood said: "The costs of raw materials and goods leaving factories both rose significantly, mainly thanks to higher oil prices and the weakened pound."
Chris Williamson, chief business economist at analysts IHS Markit, said: "While the further upturn in price pressures will fuel speculation that interest rates may start to rise later in 2017, the most likely scenario remains one of policy staying on hold over the next two years as the economy navigates through Brexit.
"Further upward pressure on prices looks inevitable in coming months as energy costs continue to climb and firms pass rising costs on to customers, pushing inflation up towards 3.0% in the second half of the year.
"Wage growth has crept up to 2.8%. However, our expectation is that it will slow, or at least remain muted, in 2017 as the labour market cools, providing the Bank of England with leeway to keep policy on hold."
Consumer inflation as measured by the Retail Prices Index (RPI), which includes housing costs, rose to 2.6% in January from 2.5% the month before.
A red light is flashing. It's been set off by a jump in what our manufacturers are having to pay for imported raw materials.
They face the same fuel price hike as motorists. Metals have gone up, and foodstuffs as well.
Companies aren't passing on the full 20.5% increase yet. They have only put their own prices up by 3.5% on average.
But the ONS warns that the increases are starting to show up on the High Street.
Shoppers are already faced with higher prices for imported cars, computers and kitchen equipment, the result of the drop in the value of the pound.
Soon our own factories could be charging substantially more as well.


One in three cases of dementia could be prevented if more people looked after their brain health throughout life, according to an international study in the Lancet.

It lists nine key risk factors including lack of education, hearing loss, smoking and physical inactivity.
The study is being presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in London.
By 2050, 131 million people could be living with dementia globally.
There are estimated to be 47 million people with the condition at the moment.
"Although dementia is diagnosed in later life, the brain changes usually begin to develop years before," said lead author Prof Gill Livingston, from University College London.
"Acting now will vastly improve life for people with dementia and their families and, in doing so, will transform the future of society."
The report, which combines the work of 24 international experts, says lifestyle factors can play a major role in increasing or reducing an individual's dementia risk.
These - which are thought to be modifiable risk factors - add up to 35%. The other 65% of dementia risk is beyond the individual's control.
Source: Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care
It examines the benefits of building a "cognitive reserve", which means strengthening the brain's networks so it can continue to function in later life despite damage.
Failure to complete secondary education was a major risk factor, and the authors suggest that individuals who continue to learn throughout life are likely to build additional brain reserves.
Another major risk factor is hearing loss in middle age - the researchers say this can deny people a cognitively rich environment and lead to social isolation and depression, which are among other modifiable risk factors for dementia.
Another key message from the report is that what is good for the heart is good for the brain.
Not smoking, doing exercise, keeping a healthy weight, treating high blood pressure and diabetes can all reduce the risk of dementia, as well as cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
The researchers say they did not have enough data to include dietary factors or alcohol in their calculations but believe both could be important.
Dr Doug Brown, director of research at Alzheimer's Society, said: "Though it's not inevitable, dementia is currently set to be the 21st Century's biggest killer. We all need to be aware of the risks and start making positive lifestyle changes."
Dr David Reynolds, chief scientific officer at Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "Alongside prevention research, we must continue to invest in research to find a life-changing treatment for people with this devastating condition."

Community leaders in the Western Isles say they have "little confidence" that money received from the European Union will be replaced by Westminster or Holyrood.

New research shows at least Â£90m has been channelled to projects in the Outer Hebrides over the past 25 years.
And that's money that local people say has been vital to support their economy.
Attitudes toward Europe have shifted massively since 70% of the electorate rejected membership of the EEC back in 1975.
In the referendum in June, 55% voted to remain.
There are few places where the European Union has transformed life as much as Scalpay.
A Â£6.5m bridge now connects this small island to the mainland of Harris.
Almost two thirds of the funding for the crossing came from Europe.
Scalpay resident Morag Macleod said: "You had to watch your time all the time, wherever you were.
"If you went to Stornoway you had to be sure to be back in time for the ferry.
"You wouldn't want to be without the bridge."
Now tourists can come and go as freely as the residents and that's boosted the economy.
The bridge opened in 1997 at a time when infrastructure was at the heart of European investment.
Bridges, causeways, ports and roads were all constructed at that time.
Scalpay's village store represents how the funding criteria has since changed.
The shop is community-owned and was bought with the aid of an EU grant to help employment and sustainable development.
Paul Finnegan, from Harris Voluntary Service, said: "It's created a hub, people are actually in the village again. They're actually meeting, they're talking, they're seeing each other."
A bistro, with views across the water, has opened up alongside the shop.
Paul added: "We want to try and help expand that business which is what we are looking at doing at the moment.
"One of our avenues for funding to help the owner do that would have been European funding and now that avenue has been closed."
There seems to be little confidence that the European money for communities like Scotland's remote islands will be protected post-Brexit.
Angus Campbell, leader of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council) said: "I really worry that a lot of that money would deal with financial issues to do with budgets either in London or in Edinburgh and would never reach us.
Some say that the islands have been benefiting less from EU funding anyway in recent years, driven by a move away from infrastructure development.
An interpretation centre in the picturesque coastal community of Huisinis has just been earmarked for a grant of Â£125,000.
But Alistair Macleod from the North Harris Trust says securing the money was more difficult than ever.
He said: "The competition for funding has become more difficult. There's more competition.
"We are fearful ... EU funding has got to be replaced to look after these peripheral areas by either the Scottish government or Westminster."
And he has a stark warning if the funding vanishes.
"The depopulation that's happened out in these islands - and it's happened worst in Harris than anywhere in the Outer Hebrides - will just continue to increase," he said.


More than £31m is required to treat patients who have been waiting more than a year for some appointments, the health minister has said.

The money would ensure anyone waiting 12 months to either see a consultant or start treatment by March 2017 would be seen and treated by March 2018.
Michelle O'Neill said she was confident the money would be agreed after the election on 2 March.
She told BBC News NI she believes the plan is achievable.
The minister published her strategy to tackle hospital waiting lists on Tuesday.
The minister revealed that £1m is being invested in the private sector in order to start tackling waiting lists immediately, although this is not detailed in the action plan.
While welcoming the announcement of the plan, the DUP's health spokesperson Paula Bradley said improvement on waiting lists was being hampered by the lack of a budget and election demands.
"Progress was being made on waiting lists previously," she said. "At the start of 2016, figures for both outpatient and inpatient waiting times were coming down and we need to see a continuation of that kind of progress."
Jo-Anne Dobson from the Ulster Unionist Party claimed the health minister was "engaging in a pre-election stunt."
"Michelle O'Neill is right to say that when she took up office last May lengthy waiting times were a major problem," she said. "Yet under her watch those delays have only worsened."
The SDLP's Nichola Mallon said patients who are waiting for procedures would want to know what the strategy means for them.
"We need to know when people are going to be treated and have cast iron guarantees that the money is going to be there," she said. "Unfortunately we don't have those guarantees."
Paula Bradshaw, the Alliance Party's spokesperson on health, said more detail and further scrutiny was required.
"It is concerning the lack of a Budget means the allocation of funding which is needed to achieve what the plan sets out to do remains unclear," she said.


A victim of domestic violence was assaulted after a social worker twice disclosed the address of her safe house to her abusive ex-husband, the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show understands.

"Ivy", who was considered by police to be at high risk of being murdered, was at the safe house with her children.
It is claimed the social worker believed it was the husband's "parental right" to know where his children were.
The local social services have apologised for failings in the case.
Ivy - not her real name - says she was raped on a weekly basis over a period of two decades, at first by her ex-husband but later by his associates too.
She was also subjected to extreme physical violence - she remembers incidents in which knives were used - and she was strangled until unconscious.
Ivy was told by her ex-husband that their children would be harmed if she went to the police.
When she finally decided to go to the authorities, she says, a police officer told her "very bluntly" that he did not believe her - that such crimes "don't happen in our leafy, green area".
Ivy says he told her she had derived "sexual gratification" from the sexual assaults.
"I left feeling completely degraded and humiliated," she says.
Police officers then went to the home of one of her ex-husband's associates to seize his phone for evidence.
But the associate told Ivy's ex-husband, who subsequently violently assaulted her, leaving her with broken ribs.
Ivy was now considered to be at high risk of being murdered and was moved to safe accommodation with her two children.
But she says her location was disclosed by her social worker, who said it was the father's "parental right" to know where his children were staying.
Ivy was found, and attacked.
She was then moved to new safe accommodation and her identity changed but the social worker informed Ivy's ex-husband of her new phone number.
"You trust them... that they're going to be there to protect you as the victim," Ivy says. "[The social worker] completely breached our trust."
Nushra Mansuri, from the British Association of Social Workers, says incidents like this "should never happen".
Social workers are "trained extensively in safeguarding in domestic violence cases", she adds, and have a "very clear responsibility".
"It is a given not to disclose information that could make a parent unsafe, or put their life at risk."
The local social services in Ivy's case have acknowledged that they "fell well short of the expected standard", and she has received an apology and a small amount of compensation.
She does not know if the social worker received disciplinary proceedings.
Claire Waxman, founder of campaign group Voice4Victims, describes Ivy's case as "one of the worst I've ever heard".
But, she adds, there are "countless other victims" who have been let down by the system.
She says victims suffer from a lack of enforceable rights and find it difficult to navigate a complicated justice system.
"Victims in these cases are overlooked, they are dismissed," she says.
Ms Waxman believes there should be better training for agencies and that victims such as Ivy should have a "case companion" that can guide them through the system.
She also wants a complaints procedure that makes it easier and quicker for victims to highlight when they believe they have been failed.
While the government has agreed to review the Victims' Code over the next 12 months, Ms Waxman says it is "dismissive" of the problems and believes the current system is working.
"They are not hearing what's happening on the front line," she says.
The Ministry of Justice said in a statement: "The Victims' Code makes it clear that all victims are entitled to support from a range of organisations at every stage of the justice process.
"In addition, we have protected the victims' budget and given Police and Crime Commissioners almost £70m to support victims in their areas."
Ivy had hoped a single specialist unit would investigate her allegations but instead 18 officers across different police forces dealt with her claims.
This meant she had to undergo 18 separate interviews, reliving her ordeal in full on each occasion.
"It just became incredibly distressing," she says. "I ultimately ended up standing on a motorway bridge just wanting to put an end to it all, because I couldn't cope."
Ivy and her children were moved four times in three months then, even though her ex-husband was trying to find her, the police halted their investigations.
One inspector worried that, because the family were living under new identities and their details were being shared across 18 officers, it would be "impossible" to keep them safe.
Ivy was advised to drop the remaining charges, and complied.
She says the inspector told her that "neither her life, nor her children's lives, were worth losing in the pursuit of justice".
She describes dropping the charges as a "devastating decision".
"I was filled with guilt, guilt that it allowed my ex-husband and the other offenders to go free, therefore allowing them to potentially go on and harm other people," Ivy says.
Her children, she says, have found it "incredibly difficult" to adapt.
"The youngest walked into school one day last year and said they didn't want to be alive any more."
Ivy suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
She knows her ex-husband may see this interview, but is happy to speak publicly.
"You reach a point where you kind of say, 'No, I'm going to take back control over my life and not allow you to dictate what I can and can't do.'"
Due to Ivy's high levels of anonymity and risk to her life as a result of identifying details, we have been unable to independently verify all details in her story. Police officers are using her case in training and she has spoken to MPs and Lords about her story.


Three sailors have been rescued from an uninhabited Pacific island by the US Navy after spelling out "help" with palm fronds.

The men were located on Thursday on the remote Pacific island of Fanadik in Micronesia.
US Navy officials said they had been stranded for three days.
The crew aboard a US Navy plane, dispatched after the men were reported missing, spotted them around two hours into their search.
As well as the sign, the men were waving brightly-coloured lifejackets to attract attention.
The men said their vessel capsized due to a large wave a few hours after their departure from Pulap in the Federated States of Micronesia on Monday.
They say they spent the night swimming until they arrived on the island.
"Our combined efforts coupled with the willingness of many different resources to come together and help, led to the successful rescue of these three men in a very remote part of the Pacific," said Lt William White.


Tory chairman Lord Feldman has been accused of urging donors to give money to the campaign to stay in the EU.

Steve Baker, chairman of Conservatives for Britain, said Lord Feldman had admitted he directed donors to Britain Stronger in Europe in his "spare time".
Mr Baker said other cabinet ministers should now be allowed to help Vote Leave.
The Conservative Party said Lord Feldman would direct donors to the both the "in" and "out" campaigns.
It follows a row over whether cabinet ministers should be allowed to campaign for exit if, as expected, David Cameron gets behind the remain campaign.
In an article for The Daily Telegraph, Steve Baker wrote: "Lord Feldman, our chairman, has confirmed to me that he has directed donors to give money to the pro-EU BSE (Britain Stronger In Europe) campaign in a personal capacity and in his spare time.
"He also tells me that he will point people in the direction of the Vote Leave campaign, but they are yet to receive a referral from our party chairman.
"Lord Feldman is a member of the political cabinet... now he has admitted this new part time role, shouldn't the Prime Minster allow other cabinet members to help Vote Leave in their spare time?"
In a statement, the Conservative Party said: "Donors will call Lord Feldman to ask how to support both the 'in' and 'out' campaigns.
"Lord Feldman will simply direct them to the relevant people. It is up to the individual donors themselves to if they then choose to contact or support either."
BBC Political Correspondent Chris Mason said the spat offered an "insight into how carefully the prime minister has to manage the build up to the EU referendum - so it doesn't tear his party apart".
David Cameron is aiming to come back from a summit in February with a package of reforms to Britain's relationship with the EU, which he will then put to the public in a referendum.
But speculation is rife about whether senior figures in his cabinet will say the reforms are not good enough and join the campaign to get Britain out of the EU.

There have been protests across the US after a decision not to charge a white police officer over a "chokehold" that led to the death of an unarmed black man.

Eric Garner, 43, was arrested on a street in New York in July after he was thought to be selling illegal loose cigarettes.
In footage shot on a mobile phone he is heard saying "I can't breathe" as he was restrained by police.
He became unresponsive and later died.
Officer Daniel Pantaleo, 29, who has been on the force for eight years, appeared before a grand jury last month testifying that he did not intend to choke Mr Garner.
He described the manoeuvre as a takedown move and said that he never thought Mr Garner was in danger.
The footage shows Mr Pantaleo and other officers arresting him after an argument in which he refuses to be handcuffed.
Several officers move to restrain Mr Garner, who is asthmatic, with Mr Pantaleo holding him by the neck.
He can be heard shouting repeatedly, "I can't breathe."
Officials found Mr Garner's death was caused by "the compression of his chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police".
Asthma and heart disease also contributed to his death.
After the grand jury decision on Wednesday not to charge Officer Pantaleo over the death of Eric Garner, the US justice department is now launching a civil rights investigation.
It will review how to heal a "breakdown in trust" between police and communities.
The court decision came barely a week after a grand jury found no criminal actions of another white police officer, Darren Wilson, who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black man in Ferguson, Missouri.
President Barack Obama said the Garner case spoke to "larger issues".
Activists have called for a march in Washington next week.

Three new claims of Metropolitan Police corruption over child abuse are to be managed by the police watchdog.

The latest allegations include one that an investigation in London was dropped on the orders of a senior Met officer.
The abuse in that case was said to have been carried out by MPs, judges, actors and clergy, among others.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is already managing 14 referrals of alleged Met corruption, which were announced on 16 March.
The Met said it had voluntarily referred those allegations, which arose from an investigation it launched in 2012.
That investigation, known as Operation Fairbank, is looking into historical child sex abuse claims involving politicians and other public figures.
All the allegations referred to the IPCC date from the 1970s to the 2000s.
The police watchdog will also now manage an investigation into an allegation that Greater Manchester Police (GMP) failed to adequately investigate an incident involving former Liberal MP Cyril Smith.
A former GMP officer has said he was threatened with the Official Secrets Act after finding Smith, who died in 2010, with two teenage boys in Stockport in 1988.
The three new referrals are:
The Met said it would not be commenting on the new referrals.
The IPCC is also assessing a further six referrals it has received from the Met relating to "similar matters".
It is managing the investigation, which was already being conducted by the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards into the alleged corruption.
The 14 allegations already under investigation include a claim that an investigation into young men being targeted at flats in south-west London was halted because "officers were too near prominent people".
They also include claims that no action was taken after a document from the Houses of Parliament was found at a paedophile's address, linking "highly-prominent individuals" - including MPs and senior police officers - to a paedophile ring.


Italy coach Antonio Conte has played down expectations of a successful Euro 2016 for the Azzurri, saying unity will have to compensate for a lack of talent.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Italians reached the final of the 2012 European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, losing to Spain.
However, they went out of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil at the group stage.
"It isn't a good moment for our football," said Conte, who takes charge of Chelsea after the tournament.
Watch as Conte discusses Italy's role as "outsiders".
Watch as Conte discusses Italy's lack of young talent.
"It's important that the squad has a good spirit. I work a lot at this. If we are able to find this way, it's possible to be an outsider."
So sparse is Italy's young talent, that Conte has picked the fourth-oldest squad of the tournament, with just seven out of the 23 players aged 25 or younger.

Conte, who is taking charge of his first major tournament as Italy boss, said the loss of Paris St-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti to injury was a particularly big blow for the team.
"He's the best young player in the national team and a player with great international experience with Paris St-Germain," Conte told the BBC's World Football programme in his first interview in English.
"The other young players are very, very good, but without international experience.
"It's very, very difficult to find strong young players. For this reason, we are working hard to become a good squad."
Conte, who won three successive Italian titles with Juventus before taking over the national team in 2014, said that unity includes the Italian fans and has urged them to stand by the Azzurri.
"Stay close to the national team. It's important for the players to feel your trust in them," he said.
"We know this is a moment that is difficult for us, but together we can overcome these difficulties."
Another notable absentee from Conte's squad is 37-year-old midfielder Andrea Pirlo.
The 2006 World Cup-winner moved to New York City FC in July 2015, a decision which is thought to have counted against him in Conte's eyes.
"Andrea Pirlo is a great player," he said. "I had him for three years in Juventus and we won a lot with him. I'm very affectionate to him.
"But I know that in this moment, I have to find the right choice for Italy and not for my heart.
"I'm not happy that Andrea isn't here, but this is life and we must continue."
After Italy's World Cup exit two years ago, many fans and pundits accused the team of losing its identity.
Conte, though, is hopeful that he has brought that back.
"It's very important to have an identity and when the other countries see our team, I want them to recognise our identity," he said.
"I like to play offensive football and attractive football with great intensity. I like the players to transfer great emotion to our fans.
"I always think of the verb, win. Most people use this verb in a very simple way, but to win is very, very difficult. It's not for all.
"It's a tough road and along this road there are sacrifices and hard work.
"I'm a perfectionist in training, and in life, and I want the best for me and for the people who work with me."
The intensity of Conte's philosophy is in contrast with the serenity of his mentor, Carlo Ancelotti, who will take over at Bayern Munich as Conte moves to Stamford Bridge.
"Carlo was my coach for two seasons in Juventus and a great brother for me," Conte said.
"But we are two different coaches and we live the match in two different ways. I want to play with my players. I want my players to feel me very close. I suffer and I win with them.
"He's told me about his difficulties with the English language, the first time. My English is improving because I'm studying.
"Before, I studied a lot, but now I'm focused with the national team because we're preparing for these Euros in the right way, with intensity."
When asked which of the English words he has learned so far are the most important, Conte gave a further insight into his character and his expectations of his players.
"I like the verb, to fight," he said.


The Brain Tumour Charity has said there is insufficient scientific evidence linking mobile phone use with brain tumours, following a court ruling.

The Italian court, in Ivrea, agreed that a man's brain tumour was linked to his mobile phone use.
It awarded Robert Romero 500 euros (Â£418/$535) a month in compensation.
He had claimed that using his business mobile phone for three or four hours a day, over a period of 15 years, led to the growth of the benign tumour.
The money will be paid by a body established to compensate people for work-based injuries.
There could yet be an appeal against the ruling, and the legal reasoning behind the judge's decision is not due to be released for at least a few days.
"We know that many people are concerned about a possible connection between mobile phone use and the development of brain tumours," said Dr David Jenkinson, chief scientific officer for the Brain Tumour Charity.
"However, the global research projects that have been conducted so far, involving hundreds of thousands of people, have found insufficient evidence that using a mobile phone increases the risk of developing a brain tumour."
The decision of the court did not change the evidence, he added.
"Of course, it is right that researchers continue to explore whether any such link exists," said Dr Jenkinson.
Mr Romero, whose profession was not reported, said he wanted people to be more aware about mobile phone use but did not want to "demonise" the devices.
His lawyer, Stefano Bertone from the law firm Ambrosio and Commodo, told the BBC his client currently has no plans to sue any of the handset manufacturers or the mobile phone industry itself.
He added that the firm has other cases in other parts of Italy.
"We have also been approached by an interesting number of people in the last 24 hours saying they have experienced the same kind of thing. And they can show they have accumulative use of mobile phones that's exceeding 1,000 hours," he said.
"No-one can pretend with definitive certainty to assess a legal case. Most opponents say there is no scientific certainty so therefore it is not true. That is not the case."
Mr Bertone highlighted a continuing o study by the National Toxicology Program in the US.
Preliminary findings released in 2016 suggested a "low incidence" of brain and heart tumours in male rats exposed to doses of radiofrequency radiation totalling up to nine hours a day over a two-year period.
However, as it is not finished, the study has not yet been scrutinised by other scientists, a process known as peer reviewing, which is generally considered an essential stage of evaluating research.


Petra Kvitova powered past Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza in Sunday's US Open night session to reach the quarter-finals.

The Czech 13th seed fought back from 1-4 down in the first set to win 7-6 (7-3) 6-3.
It is Kvitova's best effort at a Grand Slam since she reached the last eight in New York two years ago.
The 27-year-old returned to action in May following a knife attack at her home last December.
She required extensive surgery on her left hand and confirmed only last week that it still did not feel completely back to normal.
However, the evidence of Monday night is that Kvitova is once again capable of the irresistible attacking tennis which brought her Wimbledon titles in 2011 and 2014.
"Sometimes I just really feel that the touch is there - the strength, the aggressive kind of game plan," said Kvitova.
"It's there, which I really, really appreciate. It took me a while to find it. Luckily I found it in a Grand Slam, which is nice."
Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide.
She goes on to face Venus Williams in the last eight on Tuesday.
"It will be a great match for me to step on Arthur Ashe Stadium again - probably - and play there," said Kvitova.
"Venus has something special which the other players doesn't have."
The defeat is a blow to Muguruza's hopes of becoming world number one, although she remains in pole position as things stand.
Czech Karolina Pliskova must reach the final to hang on to the number one spot, and Ukraine's fourth seed Elina Svitolina needs to reach the semi-finals to stay in contention.
Both women play their fourth-round matches on Monday.
"We'll see - I'll keep an eye now on the scores," said Muguruza.
Muguruza, 23, was widely viewed as the title favourite and next number one in waiting, until she ran into the blistering shot-making of Kvitova.
Both women finished with 18 more errors than winners, but Kvitova's attacking intent was rewarded with 24 winners to seven.
Muguruza eased into an early 4-1 lead and had three break points for 5-1, but Kvitova held firm and clenched her fist after a forehand winner kept her in touch.
Kvitova would get the chance to serve for the set six games later but played a poor game, and fell 2-0 behind in the tie-break.
From that moment on, the Czech was in command, moving 5-3 clear after Muguruza steered a volley long and converting her first set point with a smash.
An early break for the Spaniard in the second set was quickly handed back, and Muguruza's forehand would begin to falter - she ended with 16 errors on that side.
Four straight games put Kvitova on the brink of victory and she got across the line in dramatic circumstances, saving three break points before Muguruza finally succumbed.
"Even though I was winning 4-1, I think she was playing great," said Muguruza.
"I felt like she was superior today. You know, great for her. She played very good."


Bristol boxer Lee Haskins has called opponent Stuart Hall a "grumpy old man" ahead of Saturday's world title fight.

It is a second defence of his IBF bantamweight belt for Haskins, against the 36-year-old former champion who he beat on points in July 2012.
"He doesn't like me more than I don't like him - I've got no problems with him," Haskins told BBC Points West.
"You'd think it was pantomime wouldn't you, but he definitely has some serious bad blood against me."
Find out how to get into boxing with our special guide.
The fight is on the undercard to Kell Brook's high-profile middleweight bout against Gennady Golovkin at London's O2 Arena.
Haskins, 32, claims Hall, a mandatory challenger, would never agree to fight him while he held the title.
"I'm the kind of guy that likes to have a bit of banter, a good laugh - he's a grumpy old man and everything I was saying he was biting, and I was just getting under his skin," he said.
"If he's doing this kind of training that I'm doing now, at 36, fair play to him because I know how hard it is - for him to still be doing it at 36, I take my hat off to him.
"I want to stop him within six rounds this time, I want to put him out."
Chris Sanigar, coach to Haskins, hinted they were already looking at his next title defence.
"We just want to get this one out the way but, yes, we are thinking about a date in December," he said.


There are significant variations across England and Wales in the way police and prosecutors deal with cases of domestic violence, figures show.

In Cheshire last year, 33% of domestic violence cases recorded as an offence were referred by police to prosecutors, with 21.47% in Dyfed Powys, they show.
But in Warwickshire the figure was 3.56% and in North Wales 5.25%.
Police are aware of inconsistencies, they said, adding more work was needed to help officers deal with cases.
"I thought he was going to kill me."
Clare Baker's partner terrorised her in her own home, causing her to fear for herself, and her two children.
Her house was not a place of safety, but a place of danger.
Life, she told Newsnight, was "like being in a glass box, screaming where no-one could hear me".
But when Clare managed to find the courage to come forward, the help offered by the police was distinctly patchy.
"It was the luck of the draw," she said. "If an officer knew about domestic violence then good, but other officers treated it as if it was nothing."
For victims of domestic violence and rape, the decision to come forward to ask for help and protection can be excruciatingly difficult.
What figures seen by BBC Newsnight also reveal is how different that experience of speaking out can be, depending on where a victim lives, and the attitude and performance of their local police force.
The statistics display significant variations in how detectives and local Crown Prosecution Service prosecutors proceed with cases and whether they are referred to the courts at all.
As well as the new figures for domestic violence, existing statistics for rape offences again show Cheshire police with high rates of referral - 65%; police in Durham pass nearly 57% of cases on to the CPS. But again in Warwickshire the figure is low, just 3.65%, and in Devon and Cornwall the statistic is 18%.
What can explain such wide variations?
Det Supt Steve Cullen, of Warwickshire Police, insists that it does not mean crimes are going unpunished.
Few cases may end up in court, but the region has higher than average conviction rates for those that do.
"Domestic violence and rape are complex and emotive crimes to investigate," he said.
Rather than refer high proportions on to the courts, Det Supt Cullen said Warwickshire had taken a decision to allow experienced detectives to make decisions early, in consultation with the CPS, on whether to hand cases over formally.
But sources acknowledged that the strain on resources is a factor in the number of cases that proceed to court in that region.
One told Newsnight: "It is concerning that we have such low referral ratesâ€¦ resources at the CPS are part of the problem, every agency is suffering.
"Cuts mean we are having to prioritise high-risk cases."
Another source said: "We have to recognise the caseload of the CPS".
But as all police forces are having to deal with smaller budgets, do local attitudes and culture also play a part?
Professor Liz Kelly, of London Metropolitan University - an expert in the study of sexual violence - suggests variations in some cases can be explained by local police priorities.
She said: "This isn't to do with the profile of the cases, it's to do with the profile of the issue in that local area, whether the chief constable says it's important, whether all of the sergeants say it's important, whether the constables feel it's their responsibility to protect women - these are the things that make a difference."
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said nationally only 6% of recorded domestic abuse cases reached a conviction.
"There's been a 14% fall in prosecutions despite an increase in recorded incidents of 11%," she said.
"Performance has collapsed in rape cases too and there are massive variations across the country."
She said a Labour government would publish league tables for how the police and local prosecutors performed on domestic violence and rape cases, and would introduce a domestic violence commissioner, following the model of the children's commissioner, to develop and monitor new national standards.
The Association of Chief Police Officers said: "We have substantially improved with investment in specialist officers, training our call handlers to identify those most at riskâ€¦ but we know there are inconsistencies between forces and that we have more to do to ensure that every police officer is equipped to deal with the complexity of abuse that can take many forms."
Correction 11 March 2014: This story has been amended after it was discovered figures provided by Labour had transposed numbers of referrals for Northumbria and North Yorkshire, resulting in incorrect percentages for those forces.


Britain's Chris Froome remains in contention to add the Vuelta a Espana to his Tour de France title with a superb summit finish on stage three.

Froome, bidding to become the first man in 38 years to win the Tour and Vuelta in the same season, finished fourth on the climb to Mirador de Ezaro.
He is 11 seconds behind overall leader Ruben Fernandez, who came second.
France's Alexandre Geniez claimed his second career Grand Tour stage win, with Alejandro Valverde third.
"It's been a difficult season after a crash in Italy and I'm extremely happy for this moment," said FDJ rider Geniez.
Fernandez's fellow Spaniard and Movistar team-mate Valverde is second overall, four seconds ahead of Froome in third.
"I'm delighted to wear the red jersey. I did not expect to wear it today," said 25-year-old Fernandez.
Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide.
Team Sky's Froome, 31, had displayed his remarkable climbing abilities in his third Tour victory this summer, and he put those skills to good use on the finale of the 176.4km route from Marin.
Froome eked out time on rivals Nairo Quintana and Alberto Contador on the short, but steep, 1.7km climb to the finish line.
Movistar's Quintana lost six seconds on Froome, with seven-time Grand Tour winner Contador another 22 seconds further back.
The Vuelta is the third Grand Tour on the cycling calendar after the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.
Spaniard Contador was the last man to win more than one in a season - claiming the Giro and Vuelta in 2008.

A County Tyrone missionary who was injured after being shot in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has returned to Northern Ireland.

The Mid-Ulster Mail reports that Maud Kells from Cookstown was escorted on flights by two nurses, but that there were no other special measures in place for her journey.
Ms Kells was shot twice in the shoulder by bandits at her home in Mulita in the north east of the DRC last month.
She has served in DRC since 1968.
Ms Kells received an OBE in the New Year Honours List.
She spends half of the year in DRC and the other half in Cookstown.
The Mid-Ulster Mail reports that she is not staying at her home in Cookstown.
Ms Kells was originally a missionary nurse and now works for the WEC International mission agency.


There will be no parade to celebrate Norwich City's Premier League return because the players "need to go on holiday", the club has said.

The Canaries are back in the top flight after beating Middlesbrough 2-0 in Monday's Championship play-off final.
Chief executive David McNally said "time won't allow" a parade, with the play-offs delaying plans by four weeks.
Some people have criticised the move on social media, saying it is a "terrible way to treat their fans".
A spokesman for Norwich City Council said: "It's great for the city and the club that they've been promoted.
"We always do something to mark the club's achievement when they go up, but this time round the timing didn't work out for a reception and open top bus parade. So, instead, we'll be dressing up City Hall in a fun way to celebrate the team getting to the Premiership."
Jerome and Redmond's two early goals were enough to seal victory for Norwich at Wembley, with promotion worth an estimated ??120m for the club.
Mr McNally told BBC Radio Norfolk it was "one of the best days in our history" and was "thrilled for the fans", but "unfortunately we're beaten on time" for a parade.
"The players need to go on holiday. Their season end has been delayed by four weeks... and quite frankly there's no point in having the parade without the footballers," he said.
"The earliest that the city could arrange things was Thursday, and so reluctantly, but amicably we've agreed that we'll pass on this occasion."
Jamie Collings, posting on BBC Look East's Facebook page, said it is a "terrible way to treat their fans".
Gilbert Aldous said: "'Need' to go on holiday? They're paid more every week than most people are paid in a year & that's just for playing around with a ball.
"I think they need to realise which side their bread's buttered & thank the fans who pay their wages, properly!"
However, others have been more sympathetic with the club, with Mike Leverington posting: "That makes sense, and they've certainly earned their holidays. It's been a long hard season."


New Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has described the Anfield job as "the biggest challenge" in world football.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 48-year-old German was appointed as Brendan Rodgers' successor on Thursday, signing a three-year deal worth £15m.
He takes over a side who are 10th in the Premier League with 12 points from eight games.
"I was never a guy for an easy way," Klopp told LFCTV. "This is the biggest challenge in football. It is the most interesting job in world football."
Klopp, who will be joined at Anfield by his former Borussia Dortmund assistants Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz, continued: "I read in the papers it is a disaster, but we are only six points to the top position in the table.
"It is interesting that nobody is satisfied or patient. We have to think about what to change. That is my job.
"I know what I want. First I need to talk to the players to find a common way. We will find that and who wants to do what I propose.
"Whoever wants to do what I want can be a good friend of mine. And it is not so bad a thing to be a friend of mine."

Rodgers led Liverpool to a second-place finish in 2014, but they managed only sixth last season.
Klopp, who won the Bundesliga twice and reached the 2013 Champions League final during his seven years at Dortmund, said: "I am here because I believe in the potential of the team.
"In this moment we are not the best team in the world, but who cares? We want to be the best team in the world in the future.
"There are problems, you need to solve them. We have good defenders, strikers and midfielders. The first game is at Tottenham [in the Premier League on 17 October]. We need to make a team for this game.
"You have to change from doubter to believer. We have to change our performance because nobody is satisfied at the moment."
During Rodgers' tenure, Liverpool operated what has become known as the 'transfer committee' - a six-member group responsible for identifying transfer targets, considering their merits and conducting negotiations.
Twenty-three players were signed on permanent deals during Rodgers' reign for a combined fee of nearly £292m, with Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling sold, to Barcelona for £75m and Manchester City for £49m respectively.
It is understood that Klopp will operate in this existing system but the German pointed out that he would have a decisive role.
"It's enough for me to have the first and last word," Klopp later told a press conference.
"We only want to discuss really good players. I'm not a genius, I don't know more than the rest of the world. I need the other people to get perfect information. It's really easy to handle it."
It is 25 years since Liverpool last won the league - their 18th top-flight title - under Kenny Dalglish.
"Twenty-five years ago is a long time," said Klopp. "History is only the base for us; [we shouldn't] keep the history in our backpack all day.
"I want to see the first step next week and not always compare with other times. This is a great club with big potential. Everything is there. Let's try to start a new way.
"I ask, please give us time. If you are patient and are prepared to work, in a special Liverpool way we can be successful.
"If I am sitting here in four years, we will win one title [piece of silverware] in this time."
Klopp introduced a style of powerful, high-speed football during his time at Dortmund - a style he says he will continue at Anfield.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Winning is important, but so is how you win and how you play the game," he said. "I believe in a playing philosophy that is very emotional, very fast and very strong.
"Everybody knows me. I haven't changed in four months. [My style is] emotion inside, it's speed, it's a transition game. All the things that make football interesting for me I want to see on the pitch.
"I have said this phrase 'full-throttle' football. It will be this.
"But it's not the day for promising a certain style of football. Let's start to work, let's speak next week, let's start normal work."
There are a number of revered managers in Liverpool's history, such as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Dalglish, who won 12 league titles between them.
However, Klopp, who described joining Liverpool as "one of the best moments of my life", said he was more focused on the work he has to do in the present than on whether he could join them as a Reds "legend".
"I don't compare myself with genius managers of Liverpool," he said. "It's cool that some of you, and the fans, are looking forward to the next few years and months, but none of these managers said 'my target is to be a legend'.
"This is a great club because of many, many great decisions in the past. Now we have to work in the present."
In Jose Mourinho's first press conference after joining Chelsea in 2004, he described himself as a "special one".
Reminded of this and asked to assess himself, Klopp responded: "I don't want to describe myself. I'm a totally normal guy, I'm the 'normal one'."


Australia have won their first Women's Sevens Series title, ending the three-year reign of New Zealand.

Despite losing the cup final to Canada in the last round in France, Australia finished the series 14 points ahead of New Zealand.
They are the first Australian team - male or female - to win a Sevens Series championship.
England, who will comprise the majority of Great Britain's team for the 2016 Olympics, finished fourth in France.
They were beaten 22-5 by New Zealand in the cup third place play-off at Clermont-Ferrand and finished fourth in the overall standings.
Head coach Simon Middleton said: "We've got players who have played consistently well throughout the year and a really strong squad to take to Brazil. There's a lot of competition for places, including among those still back home."
The Women's Sevens Series was played across five countries, with Australia winning in Dubai, Brazil and the USA, and England winning in Canada.
Women's sevens will make its Olympic debut in Rio this summer.

Sports presenter Clare Balding's official complaint over an article in the Sunday Times that mocked her sexuality has been upheld.

In July, she complained to the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) over AA Gill's review of her new TV show, in which he called her a "dyke on a bike".
The paper defended its columnist on freedom of expression grounds.
The PCC ruled that some of the words were used in a "demeaning and gratuitous way".
The newspaper defended Gill by saying he was well-known for his acerbic and sometimes tasteless sense of humour.
'Open society '
Balding took exception to Gill's review of her show, Britain By Bike, claiming his comments were irrelevant to the programme.
In a statement released after the judgement, Balding said she was "delighted" with the verdict.
"It was important for me and, crucially, for millions of other people quietly going about their work, to make the point that we deserve to be judged on our ability to do our jobs and not on the basis of our race, religion, gender or, in this case, sexual orientation.
"I would like to thank all those who offered their support via e-mail, letter and Twitter - they gave me the strength to stand up and be counted.
"I hope that this decision shows we are moving on from the days when derogatory comments about a person's sexuality were regarded as clever or funny."
The newspaper argued the term "dyke" had been reclaimed by various groups as an empowering, not an offensive, term.
The paper also drew attention to two organisations, which are both called Dykes on Bikes.
The groups represent an American lesbian motorcycling movement and a UK-based cycling movement, whose members had reclaimed the word "dyke".
It argued that an individual's sexuality should not give them an "all-encompassing protected status".
A spokesman for the newspaper declined to comment further.
However, the full PCC judgement must be published in the newspaper at the weekend.
The PCC ruled that the use of the word "dyke" in the article - whatever its intention - was a "pejorative synonym relating to the complainant's sexuality".
The context was "not that the reviewer was seeking positively to 'reclaim' the term, but rather to use it to refer to the complainant's sexuality in a demeaning and gratuitous way".  As such, it represented a breach of the Code.
Stephen Abell, director of the PCC, said: "Freedom of expression is a key part of an open society and something which the Commission has defended robustly in the past.
"While the commentator is clearly entitled to his opinion about both the programme and the complainant, there are restraints placed upon him by the terms of the Editors' Code."
It said the clause was "very clear that newspapers must avoid prejudicial, pejorative or irrelevant reference to an individual's sexual orientation and the reference to Balding plainly breached its terms".
Balding told the PCC that she was not demanding special treatment, but just wanted to be treated the same as everybody else.
The presenter has also asked for the newspaper to apologise.

A 15-year-old "vulnerable girl" was kept in police protection for more than 26 hours because no suitable accommodation could be found for her.

Sgt Sam Dobbs, of Northamptonshire Police, posted messages on Twitter about how officers had to keep the teenager fed and "entertained".
He said the girl was eventually collected by social services in London.
Northamptonshire Police said there was a "considerable" delay in finding secure accommodation for the girl.
The case came to light in a series of tweets posted by Sgt Dobbs on Wednesday, in which he said there were a lot of "angry police".
He wrote: "We've now been caring for a 15-year-old vulnerable girl in police protection at station since 3pm Tue whilst suitable accommodation sourced."
Shortly after he tweeted that he was buying her food and trying to keep her entertained.
He said: "We're buying her food and keeping her entertained best we can. 26 hours is stretching it tho (sic) and still no solution. But she's safe."
He went on to say that the girl had been in custody, in hospital, had a mental health assessment and was stuck in the police canteen.
Police said officers were working with Lambeth Council in an effort to find accommodation for the girl.
"A young person may come into police custody for a number of reasons, including if they have committed an offence, if there is concern for their mental health and if they are at risk of significant harm," said a Northamptonshire Police spokeswoman.
"On this occasion, the young girl came into police custody for all three of the reasons above.
"We liaised with Lambeth Council in order to obtain secure accommodation for the girl, which took a considerable amount of time to source. This delay led to the girl remaining in police care."
Lambeth Council has been asked to comment.


Mexico came from behind to beat New Zealand and moved top of the group amid ugly scenes at the Confederations Cup.

Leeds United's Chris Wood gave the All Whites a first-half lead but second-half goals by Benfica's Raul Jimenez and Oribe Peralta sealed victory.
But the game boiled over in the dying stages when Mexico skipper Diego Reyes pulled back Michael Boxall, who then lunged at Hector Herrera.
New Zealand's Ryan Thomas also became involved and a mass brawl ensued.
Referee Bakary Gassama consulted the video assistant referee before issuing three yellow cards to Reyes, Herrera and Boxall.
Mexico head coach Juan Carlos Osorio apologised for losing his temper during the match.
The 56-year-old had a heated argument with one of New Zealand's assistant coaches after Mexico's Carlos Salcedo went down with a shoulder injury in the first half.
And the Colombian coach later had to be restrained by his own bench during the brawl in injury time.
"I would like to apologise to our fans, the way I spoke to one of their assistant coaches was not OK," he said.
"There is no place for disrespect in football and I am sorry. The game was rough, almost violent on occasion, so I lost my temper."
New Zealand's head coach Anthony Hudson played down the incident.
"I thought it was bizarre really, it was like we had elbowed the player the way it was going on," he said.
Mexico, who left striker Javier Hernandez on the bench, top the group ahead of Portugal on goals scored.
Portugal beat Russia 1-0 earlier in the day - and Mexico now only need a draw against Russia in Kazan on Saturday to be sure of reaching the semi-finals.
Hosts Russia are third in the group while New Zealand remain bottom and are out of the tournament.

The jail term of a murderer who stabbed a couple to death in Cardiff city centre has been referred to the Attorney General's Office.

Andrew Saunders, 21, was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 23 years on 28 February for the murders of Zoe Morgan, 21, and Lee Simmons, 33.
The couple were stabbed near the Queen Street Matalan store where they worked on 28 September, 2016.
The AG will decide whether to refer the sentence to the Court of Appeal.
A spokesman for the office said: "We have received a request for the case of Andrew Patrick Saunders to be considered under the unduly lenient sentence scheme. The law officers have 28 days from sentencing to consider this case.
"The threshold to refer cases to the Court of Appeal is very high.
"A sentence can only be regarded as unduly lenient if there has been a gross error and it is significantly below the level that any judge could have reasonably imposed after considering the facts of the case."
After he pleaded guilty to both murders, Cardiff Crown Court was told Saunders and Miss Morgan had been in a relationship, but split up before she and Mr Simmons began a relationship in July 2016.
Saunders had been unhappy that his relationship with Miss Morgan had ended and made threats against her and Mr Simmons when he found out they were together.
Days before he murdered the pair, Saunders searched the internet for the best methods to kill people.
After the attack, Saunders phoned his mother and told her he had killed the pair. He also sent a text to his father saying "thanks for being a pathetic, useless father. Just killed two people, cheers".
Police later arrested Saunders at his family home, where he told officers: "I'm sorry, you know sometimes, you just snap."


A sheriff said the court is going to write to the legal aid watchdog after she heard it had not yet approved a request to fund the parents at an inquiry into the death of a schoolgirl.

Sheriff Principal Mhairi Stephen said she hoped this "would focus minds" at the legal aid board.
Keane Wallis-Bennett, 12, died when a PE block modesty wall at Liberton High School fell in April 2014.
No criminal charges are to be brought, however a FAI will be held.
The case was continued to another procedural hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on 18 May 2017.
The fatal accident inquiry is due to take place at the court in June 2017.
Solicitor John Fotheringham, who represents the family, said: "It seems to me that they are taking the view that the parents do not need to be represented at all which is remarkable."
Mr Fotheringham made the comments during a procedural hearing at the court.
The Crown Office said it was in the public interest to hold an inquiry to help avoid such an incident happening again.
Keane's death prompted the City of Edinburgh Council to order urgent checks at schools across the city.
The case was also investigated by police and the Health and Safety Executive under the direction of the Crown Office's health and safety division.
The Crown have also announced that no criminal charges were to be brought against anybody involved in the incident.
However, the Crown also announced an inquiry will be held at the sheriff court to investigate the circumstances surrounding Keane's death.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Legal Aid Board said: "We have not yet received an application with the required evidence to allow us to grant legal aid in this case.
"We have been in contact with the nominated solicitor about this and explained what is required.
"We have previously granted two special urgency applications to cover representation at initial hearings within 24 hours of having received them.
"We would contest that any delay in this process has been the fault of the Scottish Legal Aid Board."


A man who fitted his car with blue lights and a siren to make it look like an ambulance before driving erratically on the roads has been fined.

Shaun Scandle was spotted by staff at the Tyne Tunnel as he drove through rush hour traffic.
The 31-year-old, of Priestpopple, Hexham, pleaded guilty at North Shields Magistrates' Court, to driving carelessly on 9 September.
He was fined Â£1,000 and given nine points on his licence.
Tyne Tunnel staff alerted police after Scandle drove through the barrier and then put sirens on at the tunnel - something even police are not allowed to do - before weaving in between other vehicles.
Officers made inquiries with the North East Ambulance Service, which said it had no record of one of their vehicles being in the area at the time.
Scandle, who runs a business offering first aid at events across the North East, was summonsed for some offences relating to fitting his vehicle with the light and sirens, but these were dropped and brought under the offence of careless driving.
Following the hearing, he was ordered to destroy the equipment.
Sgt Alan Keenleyside, of Northumbria Police, said: "This may seem like a bizarre story but the reality is Scandle was putting lives at risk through his behaviour on the road.
"Those working in the emergency services receive specialist training to drive our response vehicles and the public should not try and take that responsibility into their own hands."


As a triple Grand Slam champion who says he feels "more motivated than ever", Andy Murray may just have triggered the second golden period of his career.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Winning two Grand Slams and an Olympic gold medal in the space of 12 months, as he did during the summers of 2012 and 2013, will be an exceptionally difficult trick to reproduce. But he appears to have time on his side.
Murray will turn 30 next May. Bjorn Borg, Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe, Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg did not win a single Grand Slam between them after entering their fourth decade, but players like Murray and Novak Djokovic - who is just seven days younger than the Briton - seem to have the attributes required to extend their winning years.
Fitness is one major element, and the back surgery Murray had in September 2013 has enabled him to expand his game on all surfaces. Another is desire, which cannot be taken for granted.
"Before I won Wimbledon in 2013, I was unbelievably motivated to win it," Murray told BBC Sport as he reflected on his second All England Club title.
"But then after I won there, I didn't quite know where to go or what I was trying to do. It felt like this was all I was meant to do, really."
The extreme motivation required has now returned - thanks to his daughter Sophia, and his lifelong rival.
Losing three Grand Slam finals to world number one Djokovic in 18 months, and becoming a father who really would like his daughter to remember him playing at the highest level, has stoked his inner fire.
Media playback is not supported on this device
It is not fair to assume Murray will win more Grand Slam titles. Who, after Wimbledon 2013, thought he would have to wait three more years to add a third?
And don't read too much into Djokovic's third-round exit at Wimbledon. He has, after all, featured in six of the past seven Grand Slam finals - winning five of them. He is likely to arrive refreshed at the Rio Olympics and ready to do battle once more.
Between them, though, Murray and Djokovic could win the lion's share of Grand Slam titles over the next three years.
It will be very tough for developing talents such as Dominic Thiem, Nick Kyrgios and Alex Zverev to match them consistently over that timeframe - and other than beaten Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic it is hard to identify a player in his mid-twenties who has serious potential to become a multiple Grand Slam winner.
Murray's next goal is to defend his Olympic singles title and to win a medal with brother Jamie in the doubles. He will talk to coach Ivan Lendl this week about the best way to prepare for Rio and the US Open, which follows on just two weeks later.
After losing five finals in Melbourne, Murray will feel he has a score to settle with the Australian Open - and given his performance on clay over the past two years, the French Open should also be on his bucket list.
Murray enjoys setting himself new targets as his career progresses. For most of his 11 years as a professional, he has prioritised Grand Slams over rankings, but a tilt at the world number one spot is now becoming more enticing - and more realistic.
"I'd rather set the bar as high as possible and not quite achieve it than say I'd be happy finishing at five in the world, and finishing at three," the Wimbledon champion explained.
"I'd love to get to number one, obviously, but I think a lot of people are forgetting what Novak's done because he lost in the third round here. The last 18 months have been unbelievable - he's hardly lost any matches at all - so I know that if I'm going to get there, I'm going to have to win more matches against him."
There are currently almost 5,000 ranking points between Djokovic and Murray - which is a vast margin. However, the ATP rankings are calculated over a 12-month period, and if you look only at the points amassed since the start of the year, Djokovic's lead shrinks to 815 points.
Were Murray able to continue his rich vein of form - and go on to beat Djokovic in the final of the US Open in September - then that advantage would be cancelled out.
Game on.


Daisy Hill Hospital's emergency department will remain open 24-hours for as long as it is safe to do so, a health trust director has said.

Dr Richard Wright said the Southern Health Trust only had a third of the emergency consultant cover required.
He said even an enhanced salary had failed to attract senior staff to the County Down hospital's A&E.
The trust has warned that overnight closures of the department may be unavoidable due to staff shortages.
Earlier this month, the trust confirmed it was making preparations to expand emergency capacity at Craigavon Area Hospital in County Armagh, in case Daisy Hill's services have to be suspended at night.
People living in parts of the Mournes, south Down and south Armagh say the increased travel time to Craigavon would put lives at risk and more than 800 people attended a protest meeting on Monday.
Dr Wright told BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme that no-one from the trust was available to attend because of the short notice.
He also spoke about recruitment problems at the Newry hospital and how the trust had "gone around the world" to try to find the specialists.
"We've been out 10 times over the last two years, we have had very few applicants and we have been able to appoint only one consultant during that time," he said.
"We have also secured special permission [from the Department of Health] to advertise an enhanced package to make it more attractive than any other job financially in Northern Ireland and we have had no applicants for that post."
But he said recruitment was an issue for emergency departments around Northern Ireland and further afield.
"We have, within the Southern Trust, 10 consultant emergency department doctors, we probably need about 30 to properly staff both our departments and to cover also the smaller department in south Tyrone."
He also addressed concerns that the doctors would prefer to work in Craigavon than Daisy Hill.
"We have a third of the total consultants we need, if we forcibly rotate any more of them to Daisy Hill we would destabilise the situation in Craigavon and we would end up with two departments that were destabilised.
"The issue is not a lack of willingness to assist because they have been doing that. The issue is there are not enough consultants within the Southern Trust to cover two departments."
Seana Grant, who is part of the campaign to keep the emergency department at Daisy Hill, claimed some services at the hospital were being reduced.
"Consultants are being asked to stand over an emergency department that doesn't have the capabilities to deal with what they are being asked to deal with and as such, they are not prepared to work there any more," she said.
"They see the writing is on the wall and they are not prepared to take a long-term post in a hospital that they can see is being continually downgraded."


Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry believes the game's top players should fear fellow Scot John Higgins now he is back to close to his best.

Higgins, 40, will meet world number nine Ricky Walden in the second round of the World Championship.
He sealed a 10-3 win over Ryan Day with his fourth century of the match, a 121.
"John is definitely back to somewhere near his best. He is scoring very heavily which is a massive advantage," Hendry told BBC Sport.
"I don't think he is quite at his best, but if he can maybe cut out those small, unforced errors if he comes up against the top players like Neil Robertson, Ronnie O'Sullivan or Judd Trump, they should fear him if he is at the top of his game.
"No-one knows his way round the table here better than John Higgins."
Higgins has not made it past the second round at the Crucible since the last of his four titles in 2011, losing to Hendry in 2012, Mark Davis (2013), Alan McManus (2014) and Ding Junhui last year.
But after ending a three-year drought without a ranking title by winning the Welsh Open in February 2015, subsequent titles in Australia and China this season, taking his overall tally to 28, have bolstered his confidence.
"I think that only comes with winning things and winning those three tournaments has given me the inner belief again that I can compete with the best players," Higgins told BBC Sport.
"If I can play my best game I am sure I can be a match for them, but it is doing it on the big stage. We will see what happens in my next game."
Higgins' next opponent Walden pipped him 6-5 in the China Open semi-final earlier this month en route to a second successive ranking final, which the Englishman lost to Trump.
The winner of their contest, which begins on Saturday, 23 April at 1900 BST, will face either Ali Carter or McManus in the quarter-finals.
After watching Higgins enjoy his biggest margin of victory at The Crucible since 2007, 1991 champion John Parrott believes he will take some beating
"The only thing people were looking at with John was possibly his age at 40 but that doesn't look like it is is going to be a problem - he still looks great," Parrott said.
"A couple of years ago he looked like he was struggling.  His long game wasn't there and he lost a bit of concentration and focus, but he has really got it back now.
"He is happy with his cue as well, which is a big factor, and his match-play is just of the highest quality.
"Every time you play him, it is a stern examination and whoever knocks him out is going to have to play very well."

Too many people avoid talking about getting old, particularly conversations about end-of-life care, suggests a survey by a charity for older people.

Two out of three adults aged over 65 in the study said they had never talked to their family about the issue.
But Independent Age said cuts to social care budgets meant it was more important than ever for families to talk about the future.
One in four over-65s said they were not planning to broach the subject at all.
This group also said they were not planning to discuss issues such as who would care for them and where they would live if they could no longer look after themselves.
Around 2,000 adults completed an online questionnaire for the research.
Although 82% of adults recognised it was important to talk to older relatives about issues of ageing, only a minority had actually had these conversations.
This tended to be because they didn't want to face up to the issue, didn't know how to start the conversation or didn't want to upset their relatives.
But the charity warned that families risked making rushed decisions about care, health, housing and financial matters if they didn't starting talking.
It has launched a new online guide to help families broach the potentially difficult subject of ageing.
Janet Morrison, chief executive of Independent Age, said: "For many families, having these conversations will never be easy. For older people, it can mean facing the prospect of losing independence.
"For their relatives, it can mean facing the thought of losing a loved one or feeling overwhelmed by a sense of responsibility.
"But these are issues that only get more pressing with time. It is vital that families start talking about these issues now, so they're not left making important decisions at times of crisis or suddenly struggling to cope with significant caring responsibilities."
She added that an ageing population meant that fewer people were receiving care from local councils and were more reliant on informal care from family members.
It is estimated that the number of older people living with a disability will rise from 2.9 million to 4.8 million between 2015 and 2035.
Over the same time period, the number of disabled older people receiving informal care is projected to increase from 2.2 million to 3.5 million.


Some species of vultures have developed the ability to tap into turbulent air as a way of gaining altitude according to a new study.

Researchers found that these species compensate for their poor flapping skills by seeking out turbulence at low altitudes.
The researchers say this explains their awkward, wobbling flying style near tree-tops.
The study is published in the journal The Auk: Ornithological Advances.
Sometimes called buzzards, Turkey vultures are the most widespread of these species in North America
They are unique among these birds as they use their sense of smell to find carrion.
For this study researchers in this study observed both Turkey and Black vultures in south eastern Virginia in the US.
According to the study's lead author Julie Mallon, then at the University of West Virginia, these particular vultures have evolved a different style of flying, skirting low along the edge of forests.
"It's an energetic thing," she told BBC News.
"They don't have the muscular power other raptors like eagles have to give chase, vultures don't pursue their prey and they've lost a lot of those adaptations that allowed them to do that and one of those is sustained flapping flight."
In the place of sustained flapping, they've developed the ability to tap into the small scale turbulence that occurs when horizontal air currents hit the edge of a forest or a similar barrier.
The disturbance usually produces a small uplift that the vultures utilise to stay aloft. Researchers have termed this manoeuvre "contorted soaring".
"They are very close to the trees, often only a metre above them, they look like they are going to crash but they stay aloft, its really amazing to see," said Julie Mallon.
"They are generally following a straight line, but they will move suddenly to one side or bump up and down like a roller coaster."
"It's not a very smooth flight, but at the same time it's very graceful, the way they can keep catching air."
The scientists believe that by staying low, Turkey vultures increase their chances of sniffing carrion while avoiding the notice of higher flying birds that use visual cues to spot food.
The researchers made the discovery by the rather old fashioned method of observation - Scientists used binoculars to watch the vultures over long periods of time and record their altitudes and different types of flight.
"This paper is a real step forward in the study of vultures and other birds that use soaring flight for efficient movement across large areas," said USDA scientist Travis DeVault, an expert on the ecology of scavengers.
"Kudos to them for recognizing and describing this behaviour, which is probably used by many species worldwide."
