The restoration of a paddle steamer which rescued Allied troops during the Dunkirk evacuations is under threat after European funding was suspended.

The Medway Queen took more than 7,000 trapped men from beaches in 1940.
Restoration work began last year with help from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the European Regional Development Fund.
The government said administrative errors had led to the suspension of EU funding and it was working to get payments released.
Restoration work on the ship's hull began in Bristol last April with money from a ??1.86m Heritage Lottery Grant.
Medway Council applied to the European Regional Development Fund for a grant to complete the restoration and bring the ship home.
The final stages of the project are being undertaken at a workshop in Gillingham by 16 people, including nine young apprentices whose jobs are now under threat, as there is only enough money until the end of April.
Peter Skinner, Labour MEP for the South East, said EU funding to all UK partners within the Interreg 2 Seas programme had been suspended after the UK government failed to meet the standards demanded by auditors.
He said the problems had nothing to do with the Medway Queen project.
"The Medway Queen has taken on local young people and is giving them practical work skills through apprenticeships.
"Through no fault of theirs funding has been suspended. That can't be right," Mr Skinner said.
"I've been pushing ministers; they need to find a solution. I have also demanded a meeting with the [European] commissioner. I want him on the case.
"The project is a great opportunity for the apprentices and they shouldn't be in danger of losing out because of some bureaucratic foul up."
In a statement, the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "This funding programme is run by a managing authority in Nord-Pas de Calais, France.
"Nevertheless, the department is very disappointed with the European Commission's decision to withhold payments to UK project partners and we are working intensively to get these payments released."


It can seem a bit self-righteous when journalists write about the importance of freedom of the press, a bit like a chef celebrating the virtues of a fancy meal or a hairdresser extolling the importance of a new haircut.

But the public's right to know what is really going on in their country really is the cornerstone of a free society.
Without free access to information, backed up by journalists who are willing to dig down and get to the truth, all the other liberties celebrated in democracies are endangered.
That's why the world should be worried by the concerted attacks on one of the leading newspaper editors in South Asia, Mahfuz Anam of Bangladesh's Daily Star.
The Daily Star is the most popular English-language newspaper in Bangladesh.
It was launched as Bangladesh returned to parliamentary democracy a quarter of a century ago, and has always had a reputation for journalistic integrity and liberal and progressive views - a kind of Bangladeshi New York Times.
That's why it is so shocking that Mr Anam now stands accused of treason, no less.
Sajeeb Wajed, the son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has described him as "completely unethical" and a liar, and has demanded he be thrown in jail.
Mr Wajed is at the head of a queue of dozens of politicians, student agitators and others who have launched criminal defamation charges against the eminent editor.
I will go into the details of the allegations against Mr Anam in a moment, but first it is important that the claims are set in context, because it is hard not to see this as the latest line of attack in a concerted effort to gag one of the last independent media organisations in the country.

Bangladesh profile - media
The Daily Star and its sister publication Prothom Alo - the most widely read Bengali newspaper in the country - are already the subject of a clandestine attempt to undermine their finances.
The BBC understands that since last summer businesses, including some of the largest telecoms and consumer goods companies in Bangladesh, have been ordered to restrict their advertising in the two newspapers by the country's military intelligence agency.
The Norwegian company that owns Grameen Phone, Bangladesh's largest mobile phone operator, has admitted as much to Al Jazeera.  Telenor's head of communications confirmed that, "along with several other large corporations, [it] received an instruction from the authorities to stop advertisements in two leading newspapers in Bangladesh".
The Daily Star and Prothom Alo are reckoned to have lost about a third of their income.
Yet the order has no basis in law, according to the leading commentator on Bangladeshi politics, David Bergman.
"It is simply 'enforced' through the authority that comes from being the country's most feared intelligence agency," he argues.
But its intent is clear: it is about bringing independent media into line and stifling dissent.
The message is "cross the line and we'll take action", but since no clear line has been drawn it is up to the media to police itself.
And it seems to be working.
"There is not a single newspaper or TV editor in this country who does not know about the blockade," writes Mr Bergman, "yet not one of the nearly 30 TV stations, nor one of the countless newspapers has reported about this intimidation of the Daily Star and Prothom Alo."
When I spoke to Bangladeshi information minister Hasanul Haq Inu, he denied that he knew of any such order.
He told me that if the newspapers or any of the companies involved register an official complaint, he would be happy to investigate, and said that if any illegal restriction is being imposed on businesses in Bangladesh, he will take action.
While the restrictions on advertising in the Daily Star are not getting much attention in the Bangladeshi press, the allegations of treason by Mr Anam are getting plenty of publicity.
That is because Mr Anam has admitted he has made mistakes.
In a television interview earlier this month, he conceded that reports published in the Daily Star in 2007 alleging corruption by the woman who is now prime minister were based on uncorroborated leaks from the then military government.
He said he was wrong to have published them.
"It was a big mistake," he said during the interview. "It was a bad editorial judgement, I admit it without any doubt."
But whether his mistakes constitute treason is another matter entirely.
The prime minister's son claims that the articles were an attempt by Mr Anam and the Daily Star to "support a military dictatorship in an attempt to remove my mother from politics".
That is something Mr Anam vigorously denies, with justification.
He points to 203 editorials published during the period of military rule demanding that democracy be restored. That amounts to one every three days of the so-called "emergency government".
He also points out his newspaper was very critical when Sheikh Hasina was arrested in connection with the corruption charges.
"To us Sheikh Hasina's arrest is totally misconceived and smacks of arrogant use of power without due process of law," his editorial thundered, the day after the arrest was made.
What is more, none of the allegations against Sheikh Hasina and other party members was ever tested in court because all charges were dropped by executive order when her Awami League assumed power in 2008.
By contrast, similar claims of corruption made against the main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), were allowed to stand. Many BNP politicians are still technically on bail from the charges.
Mr Haq, the Information Minster, denies there is any campaign against the Daily Star.
He says the complaints against Mr Anam are being made by individuals and are not being co-ordinated by the government. "A judgement on whether he is guilty will be made by the courts on the basis of the merits of the case," he told me.
But Mr Bergman has no doubt about the real significance of these attacks on Mr Anam. He believes they are "an attempt to crush independent media".
He is convinced that government loyalists want "to close down, or at least subdue, any influential independent media or dissent that is not within their control".
That would represent a very sinister power grab in an already fragile democracy like Bangladesh.
Since Bangladesh's media appears too cowed to speak out, it is time the rest of the world does.
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has condemned what it calls the "legal harassment" of Mr Anam. Now governments must do the same.
And where better to start than the UK government?
A few weeks ago Alison Blake, the new British High Commissioner to Bangladesh, was celebrating how "as two Commonwealth countries, we share a set of core values, including a commitment to Parliamentary democracy and a tolerant and pluralistic system with a commitment to protect and uphold human rights".
It might be time Ms Blake challenges the Bangladeshi government to deliver on that commitment.


A fraudster with an "addiction to money" who stole nearly £600,000 from her employer has been jailed.

Susan Rennie, 51, engineered 105 fraudulent payments into her personal account by doctoring company invoices, a court heard.
She used the stolen cash to pay off her son's £200,000 drug debt and spent the rest on holidays and cars.
Rennie pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position and was jailed for four-and-a-half years at Bolton Crown Court.
The mother-of-three, who had previous convictions for benefit fraud and theft from a previous employer, worked as a purchase ledger for IT provider Ascribe Ltd.
She moved to Lytham, Lancashire, while on a suspended sentence, and began working for the firm in 2007.
'Desperate addiction'
The fraud was uncovered after Rennie's resignation, when the firm realised profits were down and launched an investigation.
Passing sentence, Judge Graeme Smith said Rennie "appeared to have an addiction to taking money".
"Once discovered, the fraud was easily traced back to you - there was no attempt to cover your tracks," he said.
"You chose not to stop your offending but continued it up to the point of resignation, increasing the amount you took."
As a result of the fraud, the company was sold by Ascribe Ltd at a reduced rate, the court was told.
Defending, Rachel Woods said: "The initial motive for this fraud was due to her 18-year-old son, who had a desperate addiction to cocaine."


In a compound in Egypt's Western Desert, a young monk clambers into a four-wheel drive before revving up to scale a sand dune.

We are on a tour of his monastery, a quiet retreat which has found itself at the centre of a stand-off with the Coptic Orthodox Church and the government.
Marteros Rayani is one of six monks who have been stripped of their priesthood. The Coptic Orthodox Church has distanced itself from the St Macarius monastery, saying it does not belong to them.
He and his colleagues are opposing the government's plans to build a highway through the land around their monastery - land whose ownership is disputed.
The highway would tear through a two-metre (6.5ft) wall they built illegally on the land which they annexed in Wadi Al-Rayan, a protected nature reserve.
The monks say the barrier protects them from attacks amid a rise in violence against churches in the past few years, and they are determined to stay.
The wall however has also angered local Bedouins as it prevents them from reaching springs, the only source of water in this deserted area.
With tensions rising, the monks have begun organising guard duties along the wall.
Paul Halim, the spokesperson for the Coptic Orthodox Church, criticised what he called the "stubbornness" of some monks. The Church "supports the government's development plans", he said.
Two of the monks inside the monastery dared to show their support for the Church's decision.
"The two Fathers were taken to a nearby governmental hospital, after they had been attacked by Fathers who are opposing the Church," Mr Halim said.
"We warn young people from joining unofficial monasteries."
The monastery said the monks were injured when they jumped from the wall.
Despite the problems faced by the Christian minority, President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi's historic visit to Coptic Christmas mass was warmly welcomed by the country's Christian community, who make up 10-15% of the population.
The visit was seen as show of solidarity with the Orthodox Christians, after several Christmases were overshadowed by attacks against them.
It is not the first time a dispute has caused friction between Egypt's desert monasteries and the government - but it is the first time the Coptic Orthodox Church has taken the side of the government, according to Mina Thabet, a researcher in Coptic affairs.
Mr Thabet says that increasingly, Christians in Egypt feel unhappy with their own Church's decisions.
They miss the former Pope Shenouda III's relationship with the congregation and government, he says, such as the Pope's visit to monks injured in clashes with locals in a similar land dispute at Abu Fana monastery in Minya governorate.
"Actually, the Coptic Church is facing what is probably the first known insurgence in its modern history," Mr Thabet told BBC Arabic.
Marteros Rayani has decided the Church's decisions no longer matter.
"All human statements can be thrown to the wind. I'm here for the obedience of Christ," he says.
As we toured the monastery grounds, Fr Rayani pointed out at least two archaeological sites in which 4th-Century monks used to worship.
Primitive drawings of Satan were still visible in the entrance to a cave in the vast desert area which the monastery recently annexed.
Satan symbolises things that scare monks, Fr Rayani said. "The government has many alternatives to build the highway away from the monastery. All we want is serenity."


A teacher recruitment advert that prompted 140 complaints did not exaggerate teachers' pay, the advertising watchdog has ruled.

The television advert for the Get into Teaching campaign suggested teachers in England could earn up to £65,000.
The government said the advertisement made it clear this salary was subject to eligibility and location.
The Advertising Standards Authority ruled viewers would understand £65,000 to be "aspirational but achievable".
Heads have been warning of teacher shortages and Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw last week described recruitment as a "burning issue" for schools.
The TV advertising campaign has been part of the government's response to encourage more people to enter the teaching profession.
In the advert a male teacher says: "And if you're wondering what else a good teacher makes, it's probably more than you think".
On-screen text then states: "£22k to £27k minimum starting salary... and up £65k as a great teacher."
Complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority said the figure misrepresented teachers' potential earnings.
The Department for Education (DfE) said the on-screen text made it clear that the figure should be understood as aspirational.
The department referred to published statistics showing that in November 2014 there were 12,845 teachers earning £65,000 or more.
Of these 12,360 were in leadership roles, with 485 working as classroom teachers.
The ASA noted the advert depicted a number of teachers conducting lessons but it did not consider that viewers would infer the salary information represented a pay scale for classroom teachers only.
It found the advert did not misrepresent teachers' potential salaries and was therefore unlikely to mislead.
"We considered that viewers were likely to understand that the salary information represented a pay scale, from starting salary to an aspirational but achievable salary for "good" or "great" teachers, including those who had progressed to senior or leadership roles."
The National Union of Teachers, one of the complainants, said it found the ASA's decision "quite surprising".
"The advert was instantly ridiculed by teachers, and they were right to do so," said deputy general secretary Kevin Courtney.
"When only one in a thousand classroom teachers earn £65,000, it is obviously ridiculous for the DfE to give the impression that this is a likely salary.
"Teachers face five more years of 1% headline-pay rises and huge uncertainty because of the chaotic implementation of performance related pay," said Mr Courtney.
In a statement, the Department for Education said it was pleased the complaint had been dismissed.
"Far from being inaccurate, the ASA has ruled that is right to say teachers can earn up to £65,000 - as many outstanding individuals do," said a spokesman.


Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville is returning to the stage for his first full theatre run in more than a decade.

The actor will play the lead in Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People at Chichester Festival Theatre in April.
The play is part of artistic director Jonathan Church's final season at the West Sussex venue.
Bonneville's last full stage play was 2004's Cloaca, directed by Kevin Spacey at London's Old Vic.
He last appeared at Chichester in The Handyman (1996).
In Christopher Hampton's version of Ibsen's 1882 drama, Bonneville plays Dr Stockmann - whose discovery of contamination at the popular local baths splits opinion about whether the truth should come out.
Directed by Howard Davies, An Enemy of the People runs from 22 April to 21 May.
The new Chichester season, announced on Thursday, includes "two musicals, two new plays and four epic dramas".
Joseph Fiennes will play Lawrence of Arabia in Terence Rattigan's 1960 drama Ross, directed by Adrian Noble, at the Festival theatre in June.
The season begins in April with Patricia Hodge and Steven Pacey leading the cast in the world premiere of new musical Travels with my Aunt, based on Graham Greene's novel, featuring songs by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe.
The same songwriters have added songs to a new stage version of Half a Sixpence, opening in July, with a book  by Downton Abbey writer Julian Fellowes and original songs by David Heneker.
The two new plays in the Minerva Theatre are black comedy Fracked! Or: Please Don't Use the F-Word by Alistair Beaton, featuring James Bolam and Anne Reid; and Mark Hayhurst's First Light, about the impact of World War One on soldiers and their families.
The Olivier Award-winning actor Bertie Carvel makes his directorial debut with a revival of John Galsworthy's Strife, a rarely staged play about a workers' strike at a Welsh tin factory.
Carvel, who recently starred at the Old Vic in Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape, said: "It's a joy and a privilege to be given the opportunity to stage this great play at what couldn't be a more apposite moment.
"I've been lucky to spend the last 10 years working with some of the best directors around. I'll be luckier still if some of it has rubbed off on me."


Two birdies in the last two holes of his third round at Royal Birkdale left Richie Ramsay in buoyant mood ahead of the final day at The Open.

The 34-year-old Scot shot a level-par 70 to remain on two under overall, nine shots behind leader Jordan Spieth and in a tie for 11th place.
"I said to myself, 'let's just dig in and try to play like a champion down the back nine'," he told BBC Scotland.
"The last two birdies helped. I deserved that. It was very scoreable."
The Aberdonian dropped a shot at the first hole but recovered with birdies at the second and the fourth only to drop another shot at the sixth.
Despite his attempt to gee himself up at the turn, he carded further bogies at the 10th and 12th holes and began to drift down the leaderboard before those morale-boosting last two holes.
"I just loved it. It was brilliant," he said.
"I didn't hole that many putts from around seven feet."
Ramsay will be playing the final round on Sunday with Ryder Cup favourite Ian Poulter, who finished his third round with a one over par 71 and who is also on two under.
He continued: "It will be good but for me it doesn't really make a difference who I play with. I know there will be a lot of support for him. You could hear that when he was walking up to the greens today.
"I have just got to go out and do what I did today, but just putt a bit better and just get a bit of momentum. When you get momentum there is definitely a score to be had."
The only other Scot to make the cut, David Drysdale, had a sparkling round of 66. He dropped shots at the first and the 18th but with six birdies in between the Edinburgh-born 42 year old finished the day at just one over for the tournament.
He said afterwards: "I was a little bit nervous on the tee and didn't make the best effort down the first and then had a poor bogey to finish.
"But I played a lot of good golf and made a lot of good chances so I'm pretty happy."
Drysdale is playing in only his second Open having finished in a tie for 60th at Turnberry in 2009. He feels there are a lot of positives to take away from his experiences at Birkdale this week.
"I'm proud of myself," he said.
"I'm maybe half-lucky to even be here for the weekend but pleased that weather stuck around on Friday afternoon to get me in."

A planned extension to a large Thames Estuary wind farm has been scrapped because of the time it would take to assess its impact on a species of bird.

The group behind London Array wind farm said it would take three years to look at the possible effect of the extra turbines on red-throated divers.
It had hoped to increase the number of turbines between Kent and Essex to 341.
The area is the winter home of about 6,500 red-throated divers - at least one third of the UK's population.
London Array said it had formally requested The Crown Estate to terminate the agreement for lease for the phase two area and had cancelled the grid capacity that was reserved at the National Grid substation in Graveney, Kent.
The wind farm, 10 miles north of Ramsgate, Kent, was given the green light in 2006 on condition that phase two, to add an extra 166 turbines, would only go ahead if the red-throated divers were protected.
The RSPB was concerned the population of the birds in the outer Thames estuary could be displaced by the extension.
London Array general manager Mike O'Hare said phase two of the project had always been subject to a condition that it would not compromise the estuary's status as a designated environmental Special Protection Area.
He added there was "no guarantee at the end of three years that we will be able to satisfy the authorities that any impact on the birds would be acceptable".
"In the absence of any certainty that phase two would be able to go ahead, our shareholders have decided to surrender The Crown Estate agreement for lease on the site, terminate the grid connection option, and concentrate on other development projects in their individual portfolios."
London Array is the largest wind farm of its kind in the world.
A spokesman for the Department for Energy and Climate Change said it was "perfectly normal" for developers to adjust their plans as they progress.
"Our reforms to the electricity market are providing certainty and long-term stability for investors, and as a result, we have a strong pipeline of projects both to 2020 and beyond," he said.


David Cameron should not become leader of Nato as his "talents do not include wisely-judging strategic issues", a senior Conservative MP has warned.

Julian Lewis, chairman of the Defence Select Committee, said the former prime minister had "charm and ability".
But he had "dangerously" delayed renewing Trident, Mr Lewis said, also questioning Mr Cameron's roles in Libya, Brexit and armed forces cuts.
The ex-PM was mooted as Nato secretary-general over the Christmas period.
The incumbent, former Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, is due to stand down within the next couple of years.
In a speech as part of the Speaker's Lecture series, Mr Lewis said: "During the Christmas recess, an obviously planted story appeared in a tabloid newspaper suggesting that our most recent former prime minister should be the UK's candidate as next Nato secretary-general.
"It was duly taken up by the wider media, with heavy hints suggesting that Number 10 was actively considering the proposal."
He added: "David Cameron is a man of charm and ability. He deserves to find a role commensurate with his talents, and I am sure that he will.
"But those talents do not include wisely judging strategic issues, whether when toppling Arab dictators in places like Libya, increasing military commitments whilst cutting the armed forces, predicting a Third World War in consequence of Brexit, or dangerously delaying the renewal of Trident for the sake of coalition politics - as he did."
Mr Cameron resigned as prime minister last summer after his Remain campaign lost the EU referendum. He stood down as MP for Witney, Oxfordshire, in September.
In an interview with the Times, published on Monday, US President-elect Donald Trump branded Nato "obsolete" for failing to adapt to the threat posed by terrorism, but he also said the 28-member military alliance was "very important".
Mr Lewis warned that if the US turned away from the organisation, Europe would have "little chance" of deterring non-nuclear threats.
But he claimed Mr Trump was trying to strengthen the alliance by confronting countries which failed to meet the membership requirement of spending more than 2% of GDP on defence.
Mr Lewis said: "It seems to me far more likely that, by confronting the 'free-riders' within the alliance, he actually aims to strengthen Nato by ensuring that all its members properly fund their armed forces in the future."


Bristol have re-signed London Irish hooker Jason Harris-Wright.

Harris-Wright, 28, who had a season at Bristol in 2011-12, won a European Champions Cup medal at Leinster.
The club have also added Harlequins tight-head prop Tyler Gendall, 22, Jersey Reds back rower Nick Haining, 26, and Watsonians scrum-half Reiss Cullen, 20.
"We're pleased to bolster our options with these talented young players," interim head coach Mark Tainton said.


The buying of sex should not be criminalised under new legislation aimed at tackling human trafficking, according to MSPs.

Holyrood's justice committee has been taking evidence on the Human Trafficking and Exploitation Bill currently going through parliament.
Campaigners, including churches and Christian organisations, had called for the purchase of sex to be made illegal.
The committee said the legislation was not right for addressing the issue.
A committee report said: "While we note that this issue may be worthy of further review and detailed consultation, we are of the view that this bill is not the correct vehicle for taking the matter forward.
"The criminalisation of the purchase of sex would have implications beyond the matters dealt with in this bill."
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has said he will meet with campaigners on both sides before the Scottish government comes to a final position on the matter.
The committee backed the general principles of the legislation, which would create a specific offence of human trafficking for the first time as well as increasing the maximum penalty for offenders to life imprisonment.
Under the proposals, prosecutors will be given guidance from the Lord Advocate setting out a presumption against prosecution in cases where trafficked people have been forced into committing crime.
Concerns have been raised that these guidelines may not be sufficient to protect victims and a statutory defence should also be made available.
The committee said the arguments for both guidelines and a statutory defence were "persuasive", and called for Mr Matheson to consider the position further.
MSPs recommended the inclusion of a specific section in the bill relating to child victims but said they were not persuaded about the need for a separate child trafficking offence.
Committee convener Christine Grahame said: "Human trafficking and exploitation are serious, complex crimes which know no borders.
"We welcome the Scottish government's efforts to tackle this illicit trade, to identify and bring to justice the perpetrators and to support the victims."
She added: "While we very much support the aims of the bill, we have made a number of recommendations aimed at clarifying the single offence of trafficking, strengthening the protection provided to victims and setting out more clearly what support will be available, particularly for child victims.
"In addition, while the issue of criminalising the purchase of sex came up in our evidence sessions, the committee is clear that, notwithstanding the arguments around that area, this particular bill is not an appropriate vehicle for addressing that important issue."


A man and his dog have been attacked by a gang of intruders at a house in Eastbourne.

Police said four men slashed the man and his Staffordshire bull terrier with a "bladed weapon" at the property in Redford Close, off Marsden Road.
The man, 26, is in a serious but not life-threatening condition and the dog is recovering at a local veterinary surgery.
Detectives said they were unsure what the motive for the attack was.
Det Insp Mark O'Brien, of Eastbourne CID, said, "Four men in dark clothing forced their way into the house and slashed at the man with some sort of sharp instrument.
"It is possible that people in the vicinity may have seen or heard signs of a disturbance or noticed suspicious vehicles or people."
He appealed for anyone with information about the attack, which happened at about 22:00 BST on Thursday, to contact police.


Tributes have been left at a memorial for murdered Daniel Pelka on what would have been his eighth birthday.

His mother Magdelena Luczak, 29, was found dead in a prison cell at HMP Foston Hall on Tuesday.
She and her partner Mariusz Krezolek were each jailed for at least 30 years for Daniel's murder. He died from a head injury in March 2012, but had been beaten and starved over several months.
About 10 people gathered at a memorial to Daniel in Coventry on Wednesday.
One of those paying tribute, Angela Sidlow, said it was to "keep Daniel's memory alive".
"Daniel's story really touched me, that someone his age could go through so much and actually survive as long as he did," she said.
"It's important that stories like his aren't just forgotten."
When he died, four-year-old Daniel weighed just over a stone and a half.
Luczak and Krezolek's trial in Birmingham Crown Court heard they had subjected the youngster to "incomprehensible brutality".
He was denied food, forced to perform punishment exercises, confined in a locked box room, poisoned with salt and subjected to water torture.
Mrs Sidlow said she and other members of the Justice For Daniel campaign group were backing calls for a new law to make the reporting of suspected child abuse mandatory - sometimes referred to as Daniel's Law.
"The moment they pass that, I'll be at Daniel's memorial putting up a flag," she said.
Mrs Sidlow said she visited Coventry's St Paul's cemetery every week, to maintain tributes surrounding a memorial stone, which was laid in November 2013.
The Home Office has said it will be consulting on the mandatory reporting of child abuse.
Derbyshire Police has said it will prepare a file for the coroner over Magdelena Luczak's death ahead of any inquest.


Myanmar's new parliament will convene on 1 February, two months after voters gave the opposition National League for Democracy a landslide victory.

The date was announced by the outgoing speaker of parliament Shwe Mann.
Despite the NLD's decisive election win, a quarter of seats in parliament remain reserved for the military, along with key security ministries.
It remains unclear who will be president. NLD head Aung San Suu Kyi is constitutionally barred from the job.
She has said the ban would not stop her "from making all the decisions", and she will sit in parliament as MP for her Kawhmu constituency in Rangoon.
About 30m people were eligible to vote in November's election, which was seen as the most democratic in Myanmar for 25 years.


Hull City have had an approach to speak to Wales boss Chris Coleman about their managerial vacancy turned down by the Football Association of Wales (FAW).

The 46-year-old is one of the candidates the Premier League new boys have targeted to replace Steve Bruce.
Coleman guided his country to the Euro 2016 semi-finals a month after signing a new two-year contract with Wales.
The FAW says everybody at the association is "fully focused" on the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Bruce resigned in July after a breakdown in his relationship with Hull vice-chairman Ehab Allam.
Roberto Martinez, sacked by Everton in May, and former Unites States coach Bob Bradley have also been linked with the vacancy.
Bruce, 55, joined the Tigers in 2012 and led them to promotion to the Premier League twice and also an FA Cup final appearance in 2014, losing to Arsenal.
Coleman, who succeeded the late Gary Speed as Wales manager in January 2012, has already said the 2018 World Cup campaign will be his last in charge of Wales.
Wales begin their qualifying campaign against Moldova at Cardiff City Stadium on 5 September. Coleman is due to announce his squad for that game on 25 August.
FAW chief executive Jonathan Ford said earlier in July that he was hopeful Coleman would honour his two-year contract extension.
But Ford acknowledged it would be difficult to keep Coleman if he decided he wanted to manage a club side before then.
The former Swansea City, Crystal Palace and Blackburn Rovers defender has also managed Coventry City, Real Sociedad in Spain and Greek side Larissa.
Coleman has been in charge of 38 game and overseen a remarkable transformation in his country's, as well his own, fortunes.
He made the worst start of any Wales manager, losing his first four games, but guided his country to their first appearance at a major tournament for 58 years with qualification for Euro 2016.


GPs in England have "dramatically" reduced the number of antibiotics they give to patients, latest figures show.

NHS Improvement says prescriptions for all types of antibiotic were down by more than 2.6 million on the previous year to about 34 million in 2015-16.
They say it is a "fantastic result" and shows doctors are being careful not to over-prescribe them.
It is part of a wider drive to stop harmful infections developing resistance to antibiotics.
In the UK, the largest chunk of antibiotic prescribing - 80% - occurs outside of hospital.
And half of these prescriptions are to treat chest infections.
Antibiotics only work for bacterial infections.
There is no point in giving them if the cause of illness is a virus, such as the flu.
34 million
antibiotics prescribed by GPs in England in financial year 2015-16
2.7 million fewer antibiotics given by doctors compared to previous year, a 7.3% reduction
80% of antibiotic prescribing occurs outside of hospital
50,000 lives lost annually to antibiotic-resistant infections in Europe and the US
The government has offered a financial incentive to get GPs to cut down on their prescribing.
Clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) get a Quality Premium payment if family doctors hit the target.
The figures are impressive. But that should come as no surprise. There have been growing concerns about the use of antibiotics as the report last week by Lord Jim O'Neill demonstrated.
But this success is also down to money. GPs have been paid to reduce their use of antibiotics.
Local health bosses were given extra money by NHS England to get prescribing down and they have used this to incentivise doctors. Different arrangements were made in different areas, but some GP practices received in excess of Â£20,000 for hitting the targets. Next year the targets have been extended to 4% for overall use and 20% for broad spectrum antibiotics.
In the NHS money, it seems, talks - but if it helps tackle what experts have described as a "greater threat than cancer" nobody will be complaining.
Reducing unnecessary prescribing saves the NHS money in drug costs.
The figures show GPs have overshot the targets.
The target reduction for all types of antibiotic had been set at 1%, but the actual reduction was about 7%.
Prescriptions for broad-spectrum antibiotics - drugs that should be reserved for tackling the most serious, hard-to-treat bacterial infections - went down by 16%, from 3.9 million prescriptions in 2014-15 to 3.3 million the following year.
The target had been a 10% reduction.
Dr Mike Durkin, from NHS Improvement, said: "This [is a] fantastic result achieved in just one year."
He said they would continue to work to bring the figures down further.
"Every year, too many people suffer and lose their lives due to antibiotic-resistant infections," he said.
"At a time when the NHS has advanced in many areas of patient care, science and technology, we must work to prevent healthcare going backwards to a time where antibiotics are no longer fighting infections.
"This is why efforts in the NHS to reduce the overprescribing of antibiotics are crucial, and these latest figures are a significant step forward in this fight."
Dr Maureen Baker, of the Royal College of GPs, said doctors faced pressure from patients to prescribe antibiotics, but that it was their duty to say no sometimes.
"We need to continue to work together to make the public realise that prescribing antibiotics is not always the answer to treating minor, self-limiting illness," she said.


(Close): US stocks have ended the day little changed ahead of the fourth quarter results reporting season which begins this week.

Investors are waiting to see whether companies' performances will justify recent soaring share prices.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, fell 31.85 points or 0.16% to 19,855.53. The S&P 500 was unchanged at 2,268.90.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite only rose 20 points or 0.36%, but that took it to a record high of 5,551.82.
There has been a record-breaking run in US equities since Donald Trump's election on 8 November. Last Friday the Dow came close to breaking 20,000 barrier.
But the rally's momentum has stalled this week as investors wait to see if Mr Trump delivers on his election promises of tax cuts and higher infrastructure spending.
"Investors are now waiting for the inauguration and the first 100-day agenda," said Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at brokerage Convergex in New York.
"They just want a little more information about what the new administration is planning before the Dow takes the plunge over 20,000.
"There's a lot of high expectations about what happens" after the inauguration on 20 January, he added.


Top bosses will have earned more money by the end of Tuesday than the average worker will do in a year, campaign group the High Pay Centre has claimed.

The group has declared the day Fat Cat Tuesday, based on FTSE 100 chief executives earning Â£5m a year, compared with the median UK salary of Â£27,645.
The think tank says its aim is to highlight the "unfair pay gap".
The calculations were criticised as "pub economics, not serious analysis" by the Adam Smith Institute.
"None of these complaints are valid unless the High Pay Centre thinks it has a better way of estimating the value of executives to firms than those firms themselves," said the institute's executive director, Sam Bowman.
"The High Pay Commission's complaints only make sense if you assume firms don't actually care about making money - which is to say, they don't make sense at all."
The High Pay Centre's estimates are based on chief executives working 12-hour days and taking few holidays, giving them an average hourly pay of Â£1,260 an hour.
At this rate, it means bosses only need to work 22 hours - taking them to Tuesday afternoon, assuming they started work on 4 January - to reach the median full-time employee salary.
The body uses a mean average for chief executive pay and a median average for workers' pay, which means the figures are not directly comparable.
Nonetheless, High Pay Centre director Stefan Stern said its figures raised doubts about the effectiveness of government efforts to curb top pay.
"Overpayment at the top is fuelling distrust of business," he said.
High executive pay has been in the spotlight since the financial crisis.
Since 2013, UK-listed companies have had to publish a single figure detailing their top executive's salary, as well as being required to give shareholders a binding vote on directors' pay.
The High Pay Centre is calling for further measures to be taken, such as representation for workers on company remuneration committees that set executive pay, as well as publication of the pay gap between the highest and median earner within a firm.


Nelson Mandela is one of the world's most revered statesmen, who led the struggle to replace the apartheid regime of South Africa with a multi-racial democracy.

Jailed for 27 years, he emerged in 1990 to become the country's first black president four years later and to play a leading role in the drive for peace in other spheres of conflict. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
His charisma, self-deprecating sense of humour and lack of bitterness over his harsh treatment, as well as his amazing life story, partly explain his extraordinary global appeal.
Since stepping down as president in 1999, Mr Mandela has become South Africa's highest-profile ambassador, campaigning against HIV/Aids and helping to secure his country's right to host the 2010 football World Cup.
Mr Mandela - who has had a series of health problems in recent years - was also involved in peace negotiations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi and other countries in Africa and elsewhere.
In 2004, at the age of 85, Mr Mandela retired from public life to spend more time with his family and friends and engage in "quiet reflection".
"Don't call me, I'll call you," he warned anyone thinking of inviting him to future engagements.
The former president has made few public appearances since largely retiring from public life.
In November 2010, his office released photos of a meeting he had held with members of the US and South African football teams.
He has been treated in hospital several times in the past two years.
In late January 2011 he was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital for "specialised tests" with the South African presidency reminding a concerned nation that Mr Mandela has had "previous respiratory infections".
While in jail on Robben Island in the 1980s, the former president contracted tuberculosis.
In early 2012 he was treated for what the president's office said was "a long-standing abdominal complaint".
But in recent months he has been troubled repeatedly by a lung infection.
He was born in 1918 into the Xhosa-speaking Thembu people in a small village in the eastern Cape of South Africa. In South Africa, he is often called by his clan name - "Madiba".
Born Rolihlahla Dalibhunga, he was given his English name, Nelson, by a teacher at his school.
BBC History: Mandela's defiant freedom speech
His father, a counsellor to the Thembu royal family, died when Nelson Mandela was nine, and he was placed in the care of the acting regent of the Thembu people, chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo.
In 1941, aged 23, he ran away from an arranged marriage and went to Johannesburg.
Two years later, he enrolled for a law degree at the mainly white Witswaterand University, where he met people from all races and backgrounds. He was exposed to liberal, radical and Africanist thought, as well as racism and discrimination, which fuelled his passion for politics.
The same year, he joined the African National Congress (ANC) and later co-founded the ANC Youth League.
He married his first wife, Evelyn Mase, in 1944. They were divorced in 1958 after having four children.
Mr Mandela qualified as a lawyer and in 1952 opened a law practice in Johannesburg with his partner, Oliver Tambo.
Together, Mr Mandela and Mr Tambo campaigned against apartheid, the system devised by the all-white National Party which oppressed the black majority.
In 1956, Mr Mandela was charged with high treason, along with 155 other activists, but the charges against him were dropped after a four-year trial.
Resistance to apartheid grew, mainly against the new Pass Laws, which dictated where black people were allowed to live and work.
In 1958, Mr Mandela married Winnie Madikizela, who was later to take an active role in the campaign to free her husband from prison.
The ANC was outlawed in 1960 and Mr Mandela went underground.
Tension with the apartheid regime grew, and soared to new heights in 1960 when 69 black people were shot dead by police in the Sharpeville massacre.
This marked the end of peaceful resistance and Mr Mandela, already national vice-president of the ANC, launched a campaign of economic sabotage.
He was eventually arrested and charged with sabotage and attempting to violently overthrow the government.
Speaking from the dock in the Rivonia court room, Mr Mandela used the stand to convey his beliefs about democracy, freedom and equality.
"I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities," he said.
"It is an ideal for which I hope to live for and to see realised. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
In the winter of 1964 he was sentenced to life in prison.
In the space of 12 months between 1968 and 1969, Mr Mandela's mother died and his eldest son was killed in a car crash but he was not allowed to attend the funerals.
He remained in prison on Robben Island for 18 years before being transferred to Pollsmoor Prison on the mainland in 1982.
As Mr Mandela and other ANC leaders languished in prison or lived in exile, the youths of South Africa's black townships did their best to fight white minority rule.
Hundreds were killed and thousands were injured before the schoolchildren's uprising was crushed.
In 1980, the ANC led by the exiled Mr Tambo, launched an international campaign against apartheid but ingeniously decided to focus it on one cause and one person - the demand to release Mr Mandela.
This culminated in the 1988 concert at Wembley stadium in London when some 72,000 people - and millions more watching on TV around the world - sang "Free Nelson Mandela".
Popular pressure led world leaders to tighten the sanctions first imposed on South Africa in 1967 against the apartheid regime.
The pressure produced results, and in 1990, President FW de Klerk lifted the ban on the ANC. Mr Mandela was released from prison and talks on forming a new multi-racial democracy for South Africa began.
In 1992 Mr Mandela separated from his wife, Winnie, on the grounds of her adultery. She had also been convicted on charges of kidnapping and accessory to assault.
In December 1993, Mr Mandela and Mr de Klerk were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Five months later, for the first time in South Africa's history, all races voted in democratic elections and Mr Mandela was overwhelmingly elected president.
Mr Mandela's greatest problem as president was the housing shortage for the poor, and slum townships continued to blight major cities.
He entrusted his deputy, Thabo Mbeki, with the day-to-day business of the government, while he concentrated on the ceremonial duties of a leader, building a new international image of South Africa.
In that context, he succeeded in persuading the country's multinational corporations to remain and invest in South Africa.
On his 80th birthday, Nelson Mandela married Graca Machel, the widow of the former president of Mozambique.
He continued travelling the world, meeting leaders, attending conferences and collecting awards after stepping down as president.
After his official retirement, his public appearances were mostly connected with the work of the Mandela Foundation, a charitable fund that he founded.
On his 89th birthday, he formed The Elders, a group of leading world figures, to offer their expertise and guidance "to tackle some of the world's toughest problems".
Possibly his most noteworthy intervention of recent years came early in 2005, following the death of his surviving son, Makgatho.
At a time when taboos still surrounded the Aids epidemic, Mr Mandela announced that his son had died of Aids, and urged South Africans to talk about Aids " to make it appear like a normal illness".
He also played a key role in the decision to let South Africa host the 2010 football World Cup and appeared at the closing ceremony.
The first South African banknotes featuring his face went into circulation in November 2012.


Tottenham full-back Kieran Trippier has agreed a new five-year contract, committing to the club until 2022.

The 26-year-old joined Spurs from Burnley for £3.5m in 2015 and has played 41 times over two seasons.
It comes after Manchester City opened talks with Spurs about the signing of fellow defender Kyle Walker.
Trippier played 12 times for Mauricio Pochettino's side in last season's Premier League and made his England debut against France in June.


A head teacher suspended after allegations a pupil was allowed to sit a GCSE exam a day early has been allowed to return to work.

Carl Williams, head of Moreton School in Bushbury, Wolverhampton, admitted a serious error when he was suspended in June.
The governing body carried out what it said was an independent investigation.
Disciplinary panel chair John Perry said a student took an exam early "under highly controlled conditions".
Mr Williams allowed a GCSE English student the opportunity to sit an exam a day before his classmates justified apparently by his need to be going abroad with his parents, BBC Midlands Today reporter Ben Godfrey said.
Following this, allegations were made against staff that they had helped students in exam rooms with answers to papers.
The governing body said this was unfounded and it only found evidence of slight wrongdoing in allowing the boy to sit his papers early.
Mr Williams was allowed back on Thursday to carry on with his job.
Mr Perry said: "A student was allowed to take an exam under highly controlled conditions but before anybody else. That was proven.
"Appropriate action has been taken under the school's disciplinary procedures about that but that's confidential."
The publication of GCSE results was delayed for 140 pupils.
Exam board Pearson is conducting its own inquiry.
The governing body believes no further action will be taken.
In the GCSE results 38% at the school achieved five or more A* to C grades.


Mitsubishi Motors has admitted falsifying fuel economy data for more than 600,000 vehicles sold in Japan.

Tyre pressure figures were falsified by employees to flatter mileage rates, the company said.
Almost 470,000 vehicles that Mitsubishi made for Nissan were affected and the issue was uncovered after Nissan found inconsistencies.
The announcement sent shares in Mitsubishi down more than 15% in Tokyo.
Company bosses, including Mitsubishi Motors president Tetsuro Aikawa, bowed deeply at the start of a press conference on Wednesday afternoon in Tokyo.
"The wrongdoing was intentional. It is clear the falsification was done to make the mileage look better. But why they would resort to fraud to do this is still unclear," he said.
Although he was unaware of the irregularities, Mr Aikawa said: "I feel responsible."
The inaccurate tests involved 157,000 of its own cars and 468,000 vehicles produced for Nissan.
The issue affected models including Mitsubishi's ek Wagon and eK Space, as well as Nissan's Dayz and Dayz Roox.
All are "mini-cars" with 660cc petrol engines and are popular in Japan but have found little success in other markets.
Lance Bradley, UK managing director of Mitsubishi Motors, said there was no evidence that any models sold in the UK or Europe were affected.
The company is Japan's sixth-largest car maker and sold more than one million vehicles last year, but has less than 1% of the UK market.
The issue was reported to Japan's transportation ministry and Nissan told dealers to stop selling the affected vehicles. It was considering ways to help owners of the affected cars.
Shares in Mitsubishi Motors closed down 131 yen at 733 yen in Tokyo - their biggest one-day fall in nearly 12 years.
We still don't have all the details, but this seems to come down to the way Mitsubishi measured miles per gallon in the lab.
It's done on a thing called a rolling road, basically a treadmill for cars.
You can adjust how resistant it is, the way you'd adjust the treadmill in the gym to make it harder or easier to run.
It seems Mitsubishi deliberately used the wrong tyre pressures, as a way of cheating the treadmill test to get more miles per gallon out of the car. Artificially over-inflated tyres give better results.
Interestingly, it looks like another car maker, Nissan, found them out.
This isn't remotely as large or sophisticated as the cheat used by VW. But it's another nail in the coffin for the car industry's already damaged reputation.
Mitsubishi struggled for years to regain consumer trust after a defects scandal in the early 2000s that covered up problems such as failing brakes, faulty clutches and fuel tanks that fell off vehicles.
This is the first time that a Japanese car maker has reported misconduct involving fuel economy tests.
In 2014 South Korean car makers Hyundai and its affiliate, Kia, agreed to pay $350m in US penalties for overstating their vehicles' fuel economy ratings. They also resolved claims from car owners.
Mitsubishi's announcement follows on from the Volkswagen's emissions scandal last year, in which it was found to have cheated diesel emissions tests in the United States and elsewhere.
VW is recalling millions of cars worldwide as a result of the scandal and has set aside â‚¬6.7bn (Â£4.8bn) to cover costs.
More than 600,000
vehicles in Japan affected
157,000 Mitsubishi models
468,000 Nissan models
50% - the amount shares in Mitsubishi have fallen since the scandal erupted
It resulted in the company posting its first quarterly loss for 15 years of â‚¬2.5bn in late October.
Mitsubishi Motors is part of the Mitsubishi Group, which includes about 40 individual companies. The group was established in 1870 as a shipping company and its name roughly translates to "three diamonds" - hence its logo.
The main divisions are the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group; Mitsubishi Corporation - Japan's largest general trading company; and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - which includes atomic, chemical and power systems divisions as well as the car maker.


Seven teenagers have been arrested after police seized a loaded handgun in a raid on a branch of Nando's.

A fight broke out as officers tried to search a bag belonging to a 17-year-old at the restaurant in Birmingham, at about 23:30 BST on Wednesday.
West Midlands Police said the gun was found in the bag, along with six bullets at the branch on Bishopsgate Street.
Two knives and suspected Class B drugs were found in a search of the group.
More on this and other stories from Birmingham and the Black Country
The seven, who are all male and aged between 15 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm.
Det Ch Insp Sam Ridding, from the force's serious and organised crime unit, said: "It is shocking to think that this group of young men were enjoying a meal in a family restaurant while holding a loaded gun."
A spokesman for Nando's said they are helping the police with their enquiries.


A Russian doctor has been banned for life from any involvement in athletics.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) said "clear evidence" showed Dr Sergei Portugalov doped athletes.
A 2015 World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) report said he was "very active in the conspiracy to cover up athletes' positive tests in exchange for a percentage of their winnings".
"As a consequence, a lifetime period of ineligibility has been imposed," Cas said.
Last year's Wada-commissioned McLaren report said more than 1,000 Russia sportsmen and women had benefitted from a state-sponsored doping programme.
Russian athletes are banned from competition by athletics' governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), until it is happy the country's anti-doping measures stand up to scrutiny.
Russia's anti-doping agency, Rusada, is also working to have its credentials restored.
Senior figures in athletics and at Wada have welcomed Russia's work on restoring its anti-doping programme but have stressed the country still has a lot to do.
Speaking at a Wada conference on Monday, the organisation's president, Craig Reedie, said: "There remains significant work to do. It must demonstrate its processes are autonomous and independent from outside interference."
Russia's sports minister Pavel Kolobkov also spoke at the meeting to outline progress made - including changes to legislation criminalising doping in sport.
He added: "We are ready to pass any kind of external inspection."


Nine survivors of a helicopter crash off Shetland in 2013 in which four people died have lodged a claim for damages which could total about £5m.

A total of 18 people were on board when the Super Puma crashed on its approach to Sumburgh.
Solicitors Digby Brown said the claim against operator CHC was being raised due to the physical, emotional and financial losses.
CHC said it wanted to resolve claims as quickly as possible.
A hearing is due to call at the Court of Session in Edinburgh before the end of the month.
In a statement, CHC said it "deeply regrets the loss of life that occurred in the Sumburgh accident.
"As the second anniversary approaches, the AAIB investigation into the cause of the Sumburgh accident continues and its findings are still awaited. Based on the ultimate findings, the company is committed to taking appropriate actions to ensure its passengers and employees continue to fly safely."
The statement continued: "Throughout the period of investigation, there has been much work undertaken to provide financial assistance to the families impacted by the accident.
"For those that have brought claims, the process of assessing and quantifying them has been a difficult one for all involved, but considerable progress has been made and a large number of claims have already been resolved.
"Regrettably, a few claims remain unresolved as the insurer awaits the results of professional assessments, such as medical exams. Whilst this is disappointing, CHC and its insurers are keen to receive these assessments so the process can move forward and these few outstanding claims can be resolved."
Chris Gordon, a partner with Thompsons who is acting on behalf of three of the families, said "Although significant interim payments have already been secured to assist the families with their financial position, the claims are not yet settled and were raised by us in the Court of Session, Edinburgh, in March."
Helicopter passengers Sarah Darnley, from Elgin, Gary McCrossan, from Inverness, Duncan Munro, from Bishop Auckland, and George Allison, from Winchester, lost their lives in the crash.


Police are trying to trace a man who chased after a car in Edinburgh and struck the vehicle with a pole.

The incident happened on Broomhouse Street North at about 18:15 on Wednesday.
Detectives said there was a disturbance involving a group of men, some inside the vehicle and some on the road.
One man was seen to pursue a small black car and hit it with a pole or similar object, causing some damage.
Officers are urging anyone with information to get in contact.
Det Insp Roddy Hardy, of Police Scotland, said: ""We believe this was a disturbance involving a group of males, some inside the car and some on the road, and we are keen to establish their identities.
"We are especially keen to speak to the man who chased the vehicle as he may know the identities of those involved and assist us to trace them.
"Anyone who witnessed this disturbance of who has information that can help us trace the individuals involved is asked to contact police on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

The host of TV programme Running Wild, Bear Grylls, has said President Obama told him filming his show in Alaska was one of the best days of his presidency.

Wilderness expert Mr Grylls shared details of the US president's day of filming in Alaska for the NBC show.
The trip showed an "intimate" and "fun" side of Mr Obama that is not often seen, said Mr Grylls.
They visited Alaska's shrinking Exit Glacier in an episode focused on climate change.
The duo also discussed fatherhood, fears, and what it is like to live in a "bubble" separated from average people.
"There were times along the route I had to pinch myself and think, actually, this is the president of America," Mr Grylls told reporters in New York, according to Reuters.
The White House pitched the idea for the episode, he said, and he is the first sitting president to take part in the show.
"They approached us, saying would we consider taking the president on an adventure to Alaska. I almost really didn't believe it. I thought it was a spoof," said Mr Grylls.
Fifty Secret Service personnel, a food taster, snipers and helicopters came along with the duo as they filmed in Alaska, he said.
Mr Grylls said Mr Obama lit fires, ate berries and shared his water bottle.
In a clip from the episode, Mr Grylls and Mr Obama cook and eat a wild salmon that a bear had already taken a few bites out of.
"The president looked a little surprised when I pulled out this bloody carcass of half-eaten salmon," said Mr Grylls.
Mr Obama called him a "mediocre cook" and said "it would've been nice if we had a cracker to go with the salmon".
The episode airs for the first time in the US on 17 December.


Essex bowler Jamie Porter and batsman Dan Lawrence have extended their contracts with the club.

23-year-old Porter has taken 54 wickets in the Championship this season with best figures of 5-46 against Northants in April and has agreed a deal to 2019.
Lawrence, 19, has scored 943 runs in 15 first-class games in 2016 and will remain with Essex until at least 2018.
Meanwhile Essex have announced paceman Tom Moore will leave the club at the end of the season.
"There is nowhere I would rather continue my career at the moment," Porter told the club website.
Lawrence added: "I am extremely excited to be able to contribute towards winning as many trophies as possible over what will hopefully be a very successful few years for the club."


A tram that derailed, killing seven people and injuring more than 50 in south London on Wednesday, has been removed from the crash site.

Crews began working overnight on the removal of the two carriages from the track near Croydon.
They were loaded on to the back of lorries and covered with blue tarpaulin before driven away on Saturday morning.
An investigation into what caused the tram to leave the track as it negotiated a sharp bend continues.
On Friday, an extra minute's silence was added to the Armistice Day ceremony at Croydon Cenotaph to remember the victims.
A crowdfunding website set up by Croydon Council in the wake of the derailment has so far raised nearly Â£7,000 to help the families of the victims.
Four of the dead have so far been identified as: Phil Seary, Mark Smith, Dorota Rynkiewicz and Dane Chinnery.
British Transport Police (BTP) are investigating claims made in a Facebook post last week that a tram had "lifted on to one side at 40mph" at the same spot days earlier.
The family of Phil Seary, 57, said he was a "much loved wonderful son, faithful husband and a loving and doting father".
Mr Seary's daughter, Karina Mimms, said he was "a gentle giant... He had an absolute heart of gold and would do anything for anybody".
Mr Seary, from New Addington, was a keen Crystal Palace fan.
Mark Smith, who lived in Croydon, was described by his brother-in-law as "a wonderful husband, an amazing brother, amazing son to his parents".
"He will always stay in our hearts and our minds and we will never forget him," Osvaldas Novikovas said.
Dorota Rynkiewicz, 35, from New Addington, was the only woman to die in the crash.
Simon Smith, CEO of SSP UK where she worked, said the company "offered our heartfelt condolences to her family and we are doing all we can to support them at this difficult time."
Nineteen-year-old Dane Chinnery, who was also a Crystal Palace fan from New Addington, was described as "a beautiful lad".
Barbara Dumbleton, a family friend, said the teenager "always had a smile on his face... he was absolutely lovely."
His close friend, Aaron Gilbert, said "nothing will ever be the same without him... [It's] so devastating how something like this can cause so much damage".
Tom Dale, who was on the tram when it crashed, said he saw Mr Chinnery as he boarded.
"It was like walking out of a war zone," the 20-year-old chef said.
Croydon Council has set up a crowdfunding page to raise funds to "help the victims, families and communities".
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) is now calling for passengers to come forward if they think they have information relevant to its inquiry.
Croydon University Hospital said all remaining 38 people it had been treating had been discharged.
St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London, said three patients remained in a serious condition following surgery.
Croydon Council said some had suffered "life-changing" injuries.
BTP said it was still "working with the coroner" to identify all those who died.
In a statement it said: "We have specially trained officers supporting their families and loved ones, helping them through what could be a lengthy inquest process.
"I want to pay tribute to the community of Croydon who have shown incredible strength and resilience during this difficult time, as well as every single member of the emergency services and other agencies who have helped throughout."
An investigator for BTP said "a number of factors", including whether the driver had fallen asleep or blacked out, were being examined as possible causes for the crash.
The left-hand curve where the derailment happened is approached by a tunnel where trams are allowed to reach 50mph, while the bend has a speed limit of 12mph.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) has said the tram, which had been travelling from New Addington to Wimbledon, had been travelling at a "significantly higher speed than is permitted" when it derailed.
Investigators have appealed for anybody who was on the tram to contact them and said they planned to release an interim report next week.
The 42-year-old driver, from Beckenham, has been released on police bail following his arrest on suspicion of manslaughter.
First Group, which operates the Croydon tram on behalf of TfL, said it was "shocked and saddened by what happened".
Its chief executive officer, Tim O'Toole, said the company had "comprehensive safety processes and controls in place" but it "could take some time" to find out why the tram derailed.
A petition has been set up online to create a permanent memorial garden of remembrance at Sandilands station to pay tribute to those who died.

A woman who delivered Spitfires and bombers to the front line during World War Two has celebrated her 100th birthday.

Mary Ellis, one of the last surviving pilots of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA), was honoured at a surprise party at Sandown Airport, Isle of Wight.
About 60 guests gathered at the airfield, which she ran for 20 years.
The ATA ferried aircraft and pilots throughout the war until the service disbanded in November 1945.
Mrs Ellis said she had no idea everyone was planning to celebrate her centenary and had originally told everyone not to do anything because she "wasn't old enough" for a party.
Family and friends gathered to kick off the celebrations and although weather conditions stopped a Spitfire flypast, there was a cake with a picture of the aircraft on top.
Mary Ellis, then Mary Wilkins, joined the ATA in 1941 after hearing an advertisement for women pilots on BBC radio.
"At that time we were called the Glamour Girls and there were plenty of escorts around," she said.
Women were allowed to fly military trainer and communications aircraft from 1940, despite some male opposition.
The editor of Aeroplane magazine wrote in 1941: "The menace is the woman who thinks that she ought to be flying in a high-speed bomber when she really has not the intelligence to scrub the floor of a hospital properly."
Mrs Ellis recalled flying "about 1,000 aeroplanes" during the war, including some 400 Spitfires and 47 Wellington bombers, which she flew solo.
After the war she moved to the Isle of Wight and took charge of Sandown Airport from 1950 to 1970.
In November, she and fellow ATA pilot Joy Lofthouse were honoured in front of members of the Royal Family at the annual Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Mrs Ellis said the Spitfire has always been her favourite aircraft, she said: "I love it, it's everybody's favourite. I think it's a symbol of freedom."


A man has been arrested by police investigating the disappearance of a six-year-old girl in County Donegal 37 years ago.

Mary Boyle went missing on 18 March 1977 while visiting her grandparents at Cashelard, Ballyshannon.
The 64-year-old man is being questioned by police in Mullingar, County Westmeath.
A fresh review of what is the Republic of Ireland's longest running missing persons case began in 2011.
Police said it was a significant ongoing investigation that has involved interviewing a wide range of people and undertaking a number of searches aided by forensic and geology experts.
A police family liaison officer has been keeping Mary's mother Ann informed about developments in the case.
Assistant Commissioner Northern Region Kieran Kenny said: "We are appealing for anyone with any information on the circumstances around Mary's disappearance to contact us.
"Even something that people may have thought was insignificant at the time could help us advance the continuing investigation."
Mr Kenny said new evidence, which emerged following the most recent review of the case, led to the arrest.


A judge has criticised Cumbria Police and the county council over the death of a toddler.

Poppi Worthington, from Barrow, died in December 2012, aged 13 months.
A pathologist had raised concerns but detectives decided she "may have jumped to conclusions", and decided not to investigate until the full post-mortem report was ready.
A family judge has now said that this led to no "real" investigation in the intervening nine months.
Poppi was pronounced dead in hospital after paramedics were called to her home.
It was later found she had suffered a broken bone and other acute injuries.
Following the death, her father Paul Worthington was arrested but later released without charge.
In October 2104 an inquest, lasting seven minutes, ruled her death was unascertained.
Mr Justice Peter Jackson, sitting in the family court in Liverpool has now ruled that findings in earlier documents can be made public.
They identified a host of failings by police, which included not preserving items such as Poppi's last nappy, and a bloodied sheet from a stretcher for analysis by forensic scientists.
Senior investigating officers also failed to visit the family home and no witness statements were taken until September 2013.
Cumbria Police said that as a result of the criticisms it had referred its actions to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
A spokesman for the force said: "Three officers were subject to the investigation.
"One officer was suspended and has since retired, the other two officers have moved into different roles."
Cumbria County Council was also criticised for failing to follow national and local guidelines over the death of such a young child.
John Macilwraith, corporate director for children's services at the council, said: "At the time Poppi Worthington died Cumbria children's services were not involved with her or her family.
"Following her death we worked with her family and other agencies to ensure her siblings were not at risk of harm, ultimately making an application to the court to bring them into our care.
"The judge found that this application should have been made sooner given the circumstances of the case.
"We fully accept this criticism and the judge's view that this had a bearing on the wider investigation into Poppi's death."


A Scottish paraglider pilot has died after crashing in New Zealand.

Ben Letham, 26, was on a solo flight near Queenstown on the South Island when he crashed on Saturday.
The professional pilot, who was originally from Lochgilphead in Argyll, came down in the grounds of a primary school.
Witnesses reported that Mr Letham, who had been flying for six years, had gone head over heels before landing on his back.
He was described by the owner of his paragliding company in New Zealand as "a really nice guy and a talented pilot".
Gavin Taylor, of GForce Paragliding, said: "Ben would have done thousands of flights at this site, both commercially and recreationally, but on this day he was flying with his own equipment using a single person wing.
"Our whole team is absolutely devastated by his death. He was a really nice guy, a talented pilot, and we're stunned to lose one of the youngest members of our team with his whole life ahead of him.
"We've lost a close colleague and friend who will be very sadly missed. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his partner, friends and family."
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirmed the death.
A spokesman said: "We are providing assistance to the family of a British man who sadly died in Queenstown, New Zealand."


A south-west London schoolgirl has joined Mensa with a perfect score.

Neha Ramu, 13, of Surbiton, scored 162 in the high IQ society's test, which puts her in the top 1% of the UK's brightest people.  A score above 140 is considered to be that of a genius.
"When I found out I got such a high score it was so amazing and unexpected," she said.
The teenager, who also enjoys chess and reading, hopes to study neurology at Harvard University.
"Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, they've achieved so much," she said.  "It's not right to compare me to them just because of my IQ.
"If I don't put in my effort and make use of my IQ then there's no point in having it."
The teenager moved to the UK from Bangalore when she was seven.
She said the Indian education system helped give her the best start but she prefers school life in the UK.
Her parents, both eye doctors, knew their daughter was clever but had no idea exactly how intelligent she was until she scored the maximum marks in her entrance exams for school.
Her mother Jayashree said: "From our side she definitely doesn't have any pressure, we just make opportunities for her.
"She does all this without much effort.
"She makes sure she has enough time for TV, swimming, fun times with her friends."
On her ambition to study neurology, Neha says: "I'm really quite passionate about the subject so I think it'll be good for me as a career.
"I don't think I'm ever going to stop learning. I'll always be curious and I'll always be thinking 'I wonder how that works'".
According to Mensa, the average adult IQ score is 100.
You can hear more about the teenager on BBC Asian Network on Friday at 13:00 BST and 17:00 BST.


Stoke's Cameron Jerome has been fined £50,000 for breaking Football Association betting rules.

The striker, 27, admitted repeatedly breaching the regulations.
But the charge is not related to match fixing or betting on games he was involved in and he has the right to appeal against the sanction.
"Cameron Jerome has been fined £50,000, subject to any appeal, following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing," the FA said in a statement.
"Jerome, who was also severely warned as to his future conduct, admitted a number of breaches of the FA's Betting Rules and requested a personal hearing which took place on Tuesday 13 August 2013."
Accrington Stanley managing director Robert Heys also admitted breaking betting rules earlier this month and is to have a hearing at the FA.
In June, Tottenham midfielder Andros Townsend missed playing for England Under-21s in the European Championship after he was was fined £18,000 and banned for four months, three of those months suspended, for a breach of betting regulations.


More than 352,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK each year - a 12% increase in the rate since the mid-90s, Cancer Research UK says.

In 2011-13 there were 603 cases diagnosed for every 100,000 Britons, compared with 540 in 1993-95 - when there were 253,000 diagnoses a year.
Experts say the rise is mainly due to the ageing and growing population.
And while the chances of getting cancer have increased, they say the chance of surviving it has also improved.
But the charity warns despite more accurate tests, better treatments and many cancers being spotted earlier, there are some cancers where survival rates are still low.
More needs to be done to tackle survival rates for lung, pancreatic and oesophageal cancer as they tend to be diagnosed at a later stage when they are harder to treat, the report says.
Nick Ormiston-Smith, Cancer Research UK's head of statistical information, said: "People are living longer so more people are getting cancer.
"But the good news is more people are surviving their cancer.
"There is still a huge variation in survival between different cancer types and there's a lot of work to do to reach Cancer Research UK's ambition for three in four patients to survive their disease by 2034."
Prof Peter Johnson, also from the charity, added: "People often think cancer is down to their genes or just bad luck.
"Although genes do play a role there are still many things people can do to reduce their cancer risk.
"The most important is not to smoke. Most people know smoking causes lung cancer, but it is also linked to at least 13 other types.
"We also know that maintaining a healthy body weight, exercising and eating a healthy balanced diet is important."


Drivers are being warned of disruption after Bath and North East Somerset Council announced it was temporarily closing a major route in Keynsham.

As part of essential work to repair Durley Lane bridge, the A4 Keynsham bypass will be shut from midnight to 06:00 BST on Sunday.
A council spokesman said the bypass was closing to allow the installation of a new contraflow.
"Essential repair work" to re-waterproof the deck began on 16 March.
A council spokesman said the contraflow would "allow full access" to the eastbound side of the dual carriageway for the re-waterproofing works, following completion of the westbound side.
The contraflows are expected to be in place for six weeks - three weeks per side - and there will be a signposted diversion through Keynsham.
The council warned that a further night closure would be required to remove the contraflow at the end of the works by the end of May.


The mother of seven of eight children found dead at a house in Cairns, Australia, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Mersane Warria, 37, is talking to officers. She has not been charged.
She was found at her home with stab wounds, alongside the bodies of the eight children. A coroner is due to conduct post-mortem examinations.
The victims were aged 18 months to 14 years. Police have not said how they died. The eighth child was her niece.
Confirming the arrest, Cairns Detective Inspector Bruno Asnicar said: "The 37-year-old mother of several of the children involved in this incident has been arrested for murder overnight and is currently under police guard at the Cairns Base Hospital."
Identified by the local media, Ms Warria remains in a stable condition in hospital recovering from stab wounds.
"She is awake and lucid and able to speak," Detective Inspector Asnicar said.
"At this stage we're not looking for anybody else - we're comfortable that the community at large is safe," he added.
Police found a number of weapons at the scene, including knives, which are being examined.
The bodies were reportedly discovered by the mother's 20-year-old son arriving at the home on Friday morning.
Police have dismissed reports the family had been investigated by social services saying it was "not a problem house".
Memorials have sprung up outside the home in the Manoora district of Cairns.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said in a statement it was an "unspeakable crime".
These were "trying days for our country", he added.
The deaths come just days after the siege of a cafe in Sydney which ended with the gunman and two hostages dead.


Giggling at the absurdity of her swimming with one arm, Lesley Paterson does not sound like the sort to race a triathlon with a broken shoulder.

Or to break a hand and arm and then return to win a race six weeks later either.
Never mind fire ozone - a form of oxygen - up her own backside just to get to the startline in the first place.
And - in a way - she isn't.
"I create my own alter-ego as an athlete - essentially I am playing a character out there," the 35-year-old tells BBC Sport.
"I found that me as Lesley Paterson - nice, chatty, 'no, no, no, you go first' - doesn't work. This alter ego allows me to get feisty, angry, aggressive and be less nervous.
"I think about everything - the character traits, the things I wear, certain things I do before the race. It is like method acting.
"My husband knows that that character sometimes crosses over - I can be a bit of a bitch before racing!"
It may be a character that she is playing, but it is Paterson's name on three triathlon world titles.
She specialises in cross-country triathlon, fighting her way through choppy seas, up mountains and along muddy trails to the ITU Cross World title in 2012 and Xterra world crowns in 2011 and 2012.
On Sunday, in Hawaii, she will aim to add a third Xterra world title to the European title she won in August.
The pineapple fields and soft white sand of the south Pacific are a long way from the rugby pitches of her native Stirling.
But Paterson believes that mixing it with the boys in mini-rugby as a girl toughened her into the athlete that she is today.
"I played for Stirling County from the age of about seven to 12. It was me and about 250 boys each weekend," she explains.
"I walked out on the field and they were all laughing and giggling at me. I had to suck it up and show them that I was just as good and hard as them.
"After rugby I did 'regular' triathlon, but that has become a bit poseur-y. Everyone has got all the gear, it is kind of clinical, a little bit sterile.
"Xterra is gritty, filthy, dirty, with a lot of heart. It has brought me everything that I had in rugby - that grittiness, that muddiness, that camaraderie."
It is glitter- not grit - that characterises Paterson's life away from triathlon.
After combining training with an undergraduate degree in drama at Loughborough University, she moved to the United States, doing a Masters in Theatre at San Diego State University.
An acting career followed with parts in a series of independent productions - including the lead in a David Gray music video.
It seems an unlikely mix - there are not many world champions with an extensive IMDB entry - but Paterson says that it helped her sporting career - and not just making by making that startline persona more convincing.
"Being a professional athlete can be a very selfish, one-dimensional, introspective world - but the arts have opened up my eyes," she adds.
"It has helped me understand characters and emotions and myself - it has given me a very different perspective."
She is now a screenwriter and producer. Her latest project is bringing together the people and finances for a film version of the seminal World War One novel All Quiet on the Western Front. Daniel Radcliffe was initially attached and now Roger Donaldson - best known for his work on Cocktail - has been signed up to direct.
Paterson has faced her own battles in the past few years. In 2011, after suffering from persistent head tics, nausea and fatigue, she was diagnosed with bacterial infection Lyme Disease.
Paterson suddenly had to learn to train smarter - improving her fitness, but without overwhelming her depleted immune system.
"It used to be that I could have an amazing day, win the world championships and then the next I could not keep up with my grandma," she explains.
"What makes me good is my ability to keep pushing through the pain, but that is the very thing that also got me into trouble.
"It is always that innate part of my personality that wants to push. I have had to mature as a person and an athlete to understand when to hold back."
But, as those triathletes who might be dodging raw sewage at Rio 2016 triathlon next summer will attest, open-water swims are particularly risky to those susceptible to illness.
Paterson goes through a regime of Chinese herbal treatments and parasite cleanses as soon as she gets out the water to help her gut cope with whatever nasties are heading its way.
And once back home in San Diego she encases herself in an 'ozone sauna' - a pod that wraps around her body and pumps the gas into her open pores - to try and kill off anything that might still be lurking. She will also administer the gas rectally to take the fight to troublesome bacteria on all fronts possible.
Neither treatment is part of the conventional treatment for the disease. But Paterson says that after trying various options, they work for her.
But perhaps the most powerful remedy comes from within rather than without.
"I just like to overcome a challenge," she concludes.
"We live in a world of people telling us what we can and cannot do.
"How we live our life, how you are supposed to heal - the doctor's standard response to tell you to lay off it for six to eights weeks - but there is no standard individual.
"If you really want to be successful in your life you have to feel those fears, find the boundaries and push against them. That comes with the potential to fall flat on your face, but I would rather do that than live in mediocrity."


The recovery in the eurozone is not strong enough, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

That's the assessment IMF head Christine Lagarde is delivering to eurozone finance ministers at a meeting in Luxembourg.
The IMF also says the European Central Bank (ECB) should consider buying financial assets with newly created money, if inflation remains low.
But the IMF's regular eurozone health check sees some signs of progress.
"Strong policy actions have laid the foundations for economic recovery," it says.
However, it also says that the recovery is not robust, and that economic activity is still below pre-crisis levels. Some countries, including Germany and France, have got back to those levels, though the eurozone as a whole has not.
The IMF says much higher growth is needed to bring down unemployment and debt.
It describes inflation as "worryingly low, including in the core countries". The most recent figure, for May, is 0.5% for the eurozone, with Germany (0.6%) and France (0.8%) not much higher.
There has been mounting concern that the eurozone might face deflation or falling prices, which can do serious economic damage.
There is a welcome for the recent actions taken by the ECB. But the IMF says it should be prepared to do more if inflation stays very low. In particular, it should consider a large-scale asset purchase programme. That means quantitative easing (QE), the policy already used in an attempt to stimulate stronger growth by central banks in Britain, Japan and the United States.
The IMF says that if the ECB does introduce QE, the assets purchased should be mainly government debt or bonds from across the eurozone, using a formula that would mean buying more German debt than any other country's.
Such a programme, the IMF says, "holds the potential to have a significant impact on demand and inflation".
The ECB has at an earlier stage in the crisis bought government bonds, but its purchases were targeted at countries where interest rates for firms and households remained higher than the Bank wanted  - such as Greece and Spain.
It also took other steps that at least made its actions look less like QE - it basically "sterilised" the purchases by getting banks to deposit money at the ECB.
Eurozone governments need to press ahead with reforms to improve the labour market and to enhance competition in goods and services markets, the IMF says. They also need to make progress with banking union.
The  IMF's general conclusion is that: "Concerted policy efforts are needed to strengthen the recovery".
Perhaps the trouble with that is that eurozone governments have tended to take concerted action when they seem to face imminent disaster. The weak recovery underway means that is not currently the case.


Google has warned users of its Blogger platform that blogs containing sexually explicit images and videos will be made private on 23 March.

None of the blogs will be deleted, but they will no longer be publicly visible, the tech giant says.
People currently posting adult content are advised to either remove it or make their blogs private themselves.
Blogs created after the March deadline may be taken down if they contain adult material, the updated terms state.
Under the updated adult policy terms, nudity will be allowed on Blogger blogs only if it "offers a substantial public benefit, for example in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts".
Bloggers are already asked to use the tag "adult" if their site contains explicit material, which means a warning page appears before the site can be accessed.
Under its current terms, Google reserves the right to add that tag itself even if the blog author disagrees.
In 2013 the company banned Blogger sites from carrying adverts for adult websites.
Yahoo-owned Tumblr also adjusted its policies on hosting sexual content in 2013, hiding "adult" themed sites from its search tool but reinstated them after a social-media backlash.
Critics have dismissed Google's move as an unnecessary form of censorship.
"Adult content has historically been at the forefront of fighting for free speech and political dissent, and this won't be changing anytime soon," wrote journalist and sex columnist Violet Blue on ZDNet.
"Sexual and erotic expression is protected speech, and pornography is not illegal."


Reigning National League batting champion Dee Gordon has been suspended for 80 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

Major League Baseball said the Miami Marlins player, 28, tested positive for exogenous testosterone and clostebol.
The second baseman, who led the major leagues in hits and stolen bases last season, is the seventh player suspended this year under the MLB drug plan.
Marlins president David Samson said the club "don't condone" Gordon's actions.


A 32-year-old man has admitted murdering a Glasgow shopkeeper in a religiously motivated attack.

Tanveer Ahmed, from Bradford in Yorkshire, attacked Asad Shah outside his store in the Shawlands area on 24 March. Mr Shah later died in hospital.
The 40-year-old was stabbed after publishing hundreds of videos about his spiritual beliefs online.
Mr Shah was an Ahmadiyya, a group known for its peaceful interfaith concerns. Ahmed said he had "disrespected" Islam.
He pled guilty to the murder at a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow. Sentence was deferred until 9 August and Ahmed was remanded in custody.
The judge, Lady Rae, said he would face a very lengthy period of imprisonment.
She told Ahmed: "This was a truly despicable crime, motivated, it seems, by your sense of offence at a man's expression of his religious beliefs, which differ from yours.
"Let me be clear - there's no justification whatsoever for what you did."
The court heard Ahmed, a cab driver, was in Glasgow a couple of days before the murder with a friend who knew Mr Shah and who showed Ahmed Mr Shah's Facebook page.
The shopkeeper had uploaded hundreds of videos about his spiritual beliefs to Facebook and YouTube, most of which were filmed behind the counter of his shop.
The court was told Mr Shah had posted some videos which could be seen as him claiming that he was a prophet.
Advocate depute Iain McSporran, prosecuting, said: "The accused's consistent and repeated account as to his motivation for murdering Asad Shah was that Shah claimed to be a prophet, which so offended his feelings and his faith that he had to kill him."
Ahmed, a Sunni Muslim, returned to Bradford but then drove to Glasgow on the day of the murder. On the journey, he watched online footage of Mr Shah and said: "Listen to this guy, something needs to be done, it needs nipped in the bud."
He arrived at the shop at about 21:00 where Mr Shah was working with an assistant, Stephen McFadyen.
After walking around the shop, Ahmed approached the counter and began speaking to Mr Shah.
Mr McSporran said: "The accused having apparently not received the response he was looking for, reaches into the robes he is wearing and removes a knife which which he attacks Asad Shah, moving behind the counter to do so.
"Stephen McFadyen, approaches and attempts to assist but the incident is fast moving and he is unable to prevent the attack, involving repeated stab wounds aimed at the head and upper body, continuing.
"Asad Shah attempted to flee his assailant and moved outside the shop but the accused kept hold of him and continued striking him with the knife."
Mr Shah was taken to hospital in Glasgow, but despite CPR and surgery he could not be saved and was pronounced dead at about 22:00.
He suffered multiple broken bones and the base of his skull was fragmented in a way more commonly seen in victims of road traffic accidents, with "numerous powerful blows" to his head and back, the court heard.
To many in Pakistan, Mumtaz Qadri was a cold-blooded murderer. But to the tens of thousands of his supporters he was a hero who defended Islam and its prophet.
Mumtaz Qadri was hanged in February for killing the governor of Punjab Salman Taseer in 2011.  Mr Taseer had spoken out against the country's blasphemy law.
Riots broke out after Qadri's funeral with many vowing to carry on the cause. One banner said: "We're all Mumtaz Qadri".
I met Qadri's brother, Dilpazeer Awan, in their family home in Rawalpindi. He said Tanveer Ahmed was one of his brother's biggest supporters.
I asked him if he thought he killed Asad Shah because his brother inspired him.
He told me: "Yes no doubt he was very much impressed by Mumtaz, he used to send him messages in jail. Let me tell you it's only Mumtaz Qadri's body which was hanged but his spirit still lives on."
Blasphemy is a capital crime here in Pakistan and while no one has ever been executed for it, dozens have been killed before their cases even made it to court.
Human rights groups have long called for a change of the law which they say is used mainly against religious minorities.
But it's a very sensitive and often life threatening subject that many people especially politicians prefer to avoid.
Mr McSporran said the nature of the attack was such that "only death could possibly have been the intended outcome".
Ahmed then calmly walked to a bus shelter and sat "head bowed as if in prayer" and made no attempt to escape.
He told the police officers who found him: "I respect what you do and I have nothing against you and so I am not going to hurt you.
"I have broken the law and appreciate how you are treating me."
Ahmadiyya Muslims are persecuted in many parts of the world and are banned by the constitution of Pakistan from referring to themselves as Muslims.
Mr Shah was born in Rabwah, Pakistan, but moved to Scotland after he and his family were persecuted for their faith. They were granted asylum by the UK.
On the day Mr Shah died, he had posted a message on Facebook which read: "Good Friday and a very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nationx."
However, Mr McSporran stressed this specific post had no bearing on the crime.
After being arrested, Ahmed released a statement through his lawyer saying he had killed Mr Shah as he had falsely claimed to be a prophet.
The statement was immediately condemned by Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders, who said killing for "blasphemy" was "completely against the teachings of Islam".
"We must not let the same mindset of hate and violence take root here in Glasgow, and for that matter, the UK and anywhere in the world," they added.
The court heard Ahmed was not motivated by malice towards Ahmadiyya Muslims as a group, but by his offence at Mr Shah's comments.
However, a victim statement from the shopkeeper's family - his wife, parents and six siblings - said they could no longer live normal lives and some intended to leave Scotland.
His parents said: "We brought our children to this country to seek refuge from Pakistan in 1991 fleeing persecution, religious hatred, discrimination and a danger to our lives because we were Ahmadis.
"We never thought that we could be in danger here. We feel imprisoned by our pain and suffering and we have little hope of ever having a normal life again.
"Most of the family, unable to live with this turmoil, pain and fear, has taken a decision to leave Scotland forever."
The murder of Mr Shah, who was well-known in the area, shocked the local community, with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon among those to pay their respects to him.
Asst Ch Con Steve Johnson, from Police Scotland, said Mr Shah had been a "peaceful family man" who was well-liked in the community.
He added: "Mr Shah's murder was the result of an extreme act of violence; an attack which was concluded within the space of four minutes. It is clear that the actions of Tanveer Ahmed were motivated by his religious beliefs.
"There is a consensus across all of our communities that there is no place in Scotland for religious or cultural intolerance which generates crimes of hatred, intimidation or violence. Religious or cultural beliefs, no matter how strongly held, do not entitle anyone to commit murder or acts of aggression."
