US President-elect Donald Trump has chosen an outspoken critic of President Obama's climate change policies to head the Environmental Protection Agency.

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, 48, is seen as an ally of the fossil fuel industry.
He has been a key player in legal challenges against EPA regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.
Democrats and environmentalists in the US have expressed dismay, calling Mr Pruitt a climate change denier.
News of Mr Pruitt's appointment emerged on Wednesday evening. Mr Trump formally confirmed it in a statement on Thursday.
"For too long, the Environmental Protection Agency has spent taxpayer dollars on an out-of-control anti-energy agenda that has destroyed millions of jobs," Mr Trump was quoted as saying.
Mr Pruitt would "reverse this trend and restore the EPA's essential mission of keeping our air and our water clean and safe", he said.
Mr Pruitt has sued the EPA on several occasions, most recently over Mr Obama's Clean Power Plan, which aims to reduce carbon emissions from power plants.
He called the move "an unlawful attempt to expand federal bureaucrats' authority over states' energy economies in order to shutter coal-fired power plants".
And, writing in the National Review in May, Mr Pruitt said of climate change: "That debate is far from settled.
"Scientists continue to disagree about the degree and extent of global warming and its connection to the actions of mankind."
There is consensus among the majority of scientists in the field that carbon emissions from human activities are a key driver of rising temperatures and that the impact of climate change will be severe.
In the statement confirming his appointment, Mr Pruitt said Americans were "tired of seeing billions of dollars drained from our economy due to unnecessary EPA regulations".
He said he would run the EPA in a way that fostered "both responsible protection of the environment and freedom for American businesses".
The nomination of Scott Pruitt has two important ramifications. The first is a clear signal from the incoming Trump administration that environmental regulations, especially as they apply to the production of energy, are set for fundamental reform.
The second implication is that the Trump camp is not willing to accept that many aspects of the science of climate change are now settled.
In his official biography, Mr Pruitt revels in his role as a "leading advocate against the EPA's activist agenda".
Mr Pruitt has engaged in legal fights with the federal government on a number of issues, including Obamacare, but it is in fighting the EPA and President Obama's climate regulations that he has really shone.
As the chief law officer of a major energy-producing state, Mr Pruitt has taken a lead role in the 28-state challenge to the Clean Power Plan.
He has also secured an injunction blocking the EPA's "Waters of the US" rule, which expands the scope of the Clean Water Act.

Mr Trump, in a speech on energy on the campaign trail in May, castigated the Obama administration's environmental initiatives. He promised to scrap "any regulation that is outdated, unnecessary, bad for workers, or contrary to the national interest".
He also pledged to "cancel" the Paris climate deal, which came into force in November.
The landmark agreement commits governments to moving their economies away from fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions to try to contain global temperature rise.
But last month, in an apparent softening, he acknowledged in a meeting with the New York Times that there was "some connectivity" between human activity and climate change.
And as news of Mr Pruitt's appointment was emerging on Wednesday, Mr Trump met actor and climate change activist Leonardo DiCaprio.
Terry Tamminen, CEO of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, said they presented Mr Trump with a plan on job creation through "clean, renewable energy generation".
The news of Mr Pruitt's selection for EPA head comes as a blow to Democrats and environmentalists.
"Attorney General Pruitt's reluctance to accept the facts or science on climate change couldn't make him any more out of touch with the American people, and with reality,'' said Chuck Schumer, the incoming leader of the Senate Democrats.
"President-elect Trump promised to break the special interests' grip on Washington, but his nomination of Mr Pruitt - who has a troubling history of advocating on behalf of big oil at the expense of public health - only tightens it."
Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders called the move "sad and dangerous".
Meanwhile, Fred Krupp, of the Environmental Defense Fund, called Mr Pruitt "a deeply troubling choice to head the agency that protects the clean air all Americans breathe and the clean water we drink".
But Jim Inhofe, a Republican senator from Oklahoma who called global warming a "hoax", said Mr Pruitt had "fought back against unconstitutional and overzealous environmental regulations... he has proven that being a good steward of the environment does not mean burdening taxpayers and businesses with red tape".


St Johnstone striker Steven MacLean has signed a contract extension to remain at McDiarmid Park for next season.

Manager Tommy Wright told BBC Scotland that the 34-year-old had triggered a clause in his previous deal.
MacLean, who joined the Saints in 2012, has scored 10 goals in 27 appearances in this campaign.
Wright added that a new deal for midfielder Danny Swanson was a "high priority", with contract talks also ongoing with full-back Brian Easton.
Last week, Joe Shaughnessy, David Wotherspoon and Richard Foster all signed two-year extensions.
Easton, 28, and Swanson, 30, are both on terms that expire in the summer.
"It's difficult for us, with the wages we pay, to attract that extra bit of quality that can make a difference to us," said Wright.
"Danny is a high priority for me and hopefully the chairman can get him re-signed. Then we can look at the summer and build again by bringing one or two in."
The Perth club are on course for a sixth consecutive top-six finish and Wright would love to start his fifth season in charge with his fourth European campaign.
"With Rangers coming back into the league and Aberdeen and Hearts strengthening it was always going to be tough," he said with his side sitting fifth, 10 points ahead of Motherwell, Ross County and Kilmarnock.
"For us to be only three points behind Hearts at this stage of the season is a tremendous achievement. Once again, we are fighting at the right end of the table.
"We maximise what we've got and it's full credit to the players."
Scotland's Uefa coefficient has slipped from 23rd to 25th, meaning all three Europa League entrants will, for the first time, begin qualifying in the first round at the end of June.
Saints have never been beyond the third qualifying round and Wright says clubs are hindered by such timing.
"Some of the Irish teams have reached the group stage recently," he said. "I'm not an advocate of summer football but it probably would help in that respect.
"It's such a quick turnaround getting ready for a new season. That's the biggest thing holding Scottish clubs back.
"The overall experience is brilliant for the club though, for me as a manager, for the players and for the supporters."
Wright was angered by the penalty Celtic were awarded at McDiarmid Park on Sunday and felt his side were denied two spot-kicks in a 5-2 loss to the Premiership leaders.
He has since discussed the matter with referee Craig Thomson in a telephone call.
"It was a sore one but mistakes happen in football," he said.
"The penalty decisions were game changers but, ultimately, it's gone for me on Monday morning.
"I was pleased Craig rang me and what was said will remain between the two of us. I'm not one for holding grudges.
"I'm all for looking at ways of helping our referees, be that with full-time officials or extra officials. I'm not a big fan of TMOs (television match officials) but that might be something we look at further down the line. But they all cost money and that's probably the biggest factor."


UK retail sales grew more weakly than retailers expected in December and the outlook for January sales figures is not strong, according to a survey by the business lobby group, the CBI.

There was a sharp rise in the balance of retailers reporting better sales than in November, but that was below levels expected by economists.
Hopes for sales next month are at their lowest since May 2012.
The CBI said 2015 was a tough year for retailers.
Barry Williams, the CBI's distributive trades chairman, said retailers were expecting 2016 to start in "much the same vein".
The survey showed the weakest expectations for business among retailers since May 2012.
The survey of 118 firms showed the volume of retail sales picked up in December, and was slightly above the average for the time of year, but was still below retailers' expectations. Growth in retail sales volumes is expected to slow somewhat next month.
Following Black Friday on 28 November, internet sales volumes rose at their quickest pace since April, with the pace of growth expected to hold broadly steady in January.
Among the sectors, food outlets reported good sales, as did clothing shops, but footwear and leather sales growth fell.


A 19-year-old man has been charged after a cat was killed and others were badly injured in shootings in Surrey.

The injured pets needed amputations following air rifle attacks in Cranleigh, Guildford and Woking in March and April.
Police said Franky Mills, of Long Gore in Farncombe, faces eight charges of criminal damage and eight of a firearms offence.
A five-year-old cat called Ruby was shot in the spine and put down by vets.
Another cat in Cranleigh survived but lost her eye.
Police said Mr Mills had been released on bail and is due to appear before Guildford magistrates on 9 August.


Olympic champion Elinor Barker won Britain's second title at the second Track World Cup of the season with victory in the women's points race.

Barker, a member of the successful team pursuit quartet in Rio, won gold by six points from Japan's Minami Uwano.
Mark Stewart and Ollie Wood took bronze in the madison after clinching second place in the final sprint of the race.
Britain topped the medal table in Appeldoorn, Netherlands, with two golds, two silvers and one bronze.
Find out how to get into cycling with our special guide.
Joe Truman, Ryan Owens and Jack Carlin claimed the men's team sprint on Friday. Chris Latham won silver in the men's scratch and Emily Kay matched that result in the women's omnium.
Barker said: "I'm very, very happy. It was a tough race with some really strong riders. That is probably the best I've ever performed in a points race tactically, so I'm very proud."
On Saturday, Ireland's Mark Downey won the men's points race gold.


Private schools in Tanzania have been ordered to reduce fees as a part of a government review of education.

The education ministry has also banned state schools from seeking contributions from parents.
Free government primary education was introduced in 2002, and from January annual fees of $19 (Â£12) will be abolished at secondary schools too.
But most state schools request contributions from parents of about $100 a year, which many cannot afford.
Tanzania's new President John Magufuli has promised to overhaul the education sector, where standards are low and resources stretched in state schools.
The BBC's Leonard Mubali in Dar es Salaam says those parents who can afford it, opt to send their children to private schools, where they have a better chance of passing their exams.
But the government is worried that some private institutions charge parents for services that they do not deliver.
Education Commissioner Eustela Bhalausesa said private schools had to submit their intended fees for the next year for a board to review from 16 December.
Our reporter says the government has the power to force private school owners to reduce their fees.
Murinde Kitururu, who represents private school owners, said they were worried that the government did not understand the true cost of running a school.
But he told the BBC Swahili service that they were co-operating with the education authorities and would try to negotiate.
Our reporter says the ban on contributions at state schools will come as a relief to parents, but will leave head teachers further stretched as they try to run their schools.


Initial results of a controversial scheme offering shopping vouchers to persuade mothers to breastfeed have shown promise, researchers say.

Mothers in three areas of Derbyshire and South Yorkshire where breastfeeding rates were low - between 21% and 29% - were offered vouchers of up to Â£200.
Of the 108 eligible for the trial scheme, 37 (34%) earned vouchers for breastfeeding at six-to-eight weeks.
Critics, including leading doctors, say the scheme amounts to "bribery".
There will now be a much bigger trial involving 4,000 women.
Of the mothers eligible for the scheme, 58 signed up.
The vouchers are given at five different time-points. And results for the three- and six-month stages are still being collected.
The results of Nourishing Start for Health (Nosh) scheme are being presented at a public health science conference organised by the Lancet.
Vanessa Purdy, 31, who is still breastfeeding her eight-month-old, James, said: "The vouchers lure you into the scheme and breastfeeding. But the confidence you gain, and the friends you make through the scheme, is unbelievable.
"It's that support network, not the money, that spurs you on to continue.
"It broke down the barriers and got everyone talking about the vouchers.
"It made breastfeeding feel normal and natural to me.
"And the money was useful for daily shopping and a few treats. I even tried tuna steak for the first time."
Across England, 51% of women are breastfeeding by the six-to-eight week stage. The equivalent figure in Scotland is 38%.
Rates are much lower in poorer areas - sometimes reaching just 12%.
Official health guidelines recommend that babies are breastfed up to six months, to help protect infants from infections.
And some research has linked breastfeeding to a lower risk for mothers from breast and ovarian cancers.
But rates in the UK remain low compared with other countries. Just 1% of babies here is exclusively breastfed at six months.
Dr Clare Relton, from Sheffield University's School of Health And Related Research public health section, is running the scheme, part of a four-year research project.
She said: "The UK has one of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world - yet it gives better health outcomes to mums and babies, and saves the NHS money.
"During the last year, our small-scale tests have shown that midwives and health visitors were happy to tell mums about the scheme.
"We think this idea has the potential to increase breastfeeding rates in the UK, but we don't have enough information yet.
"So we are conducting a large-scale trial to help us find out how acceptable and effective the scheme is - and whether it would a good use of public money in the future."
But Dr Colin Michie, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "You're asking for a payback from some mums who can't necessarily give it.
"Not all mothers can breastfeed for a range of reasons - so it's just not fair.
"It is essentially a bribe if you're offering money for breastfeeding.
"This pilot scheme has been a success - but it would be nice if we could incentivise mums to breastfeed without paying them."


Tourism bosses hope a remake of Whisky Galore will boost visitor numbers to some of the lesser-known parts of Scotland.

The films are adaptations of a book by Compton MacKenzie, whose story was inspired by the sinking of the cargo ship SS Politician off Eriskay in 1941.
The cargo included more than 250,000 bottles of whisky, hundreds of cases of which were hidden by islanders.
The remake, starring Eddie Izzard, was filmed across Scotland.
Tourism body VisitScotland has now created a map of the filming locations, from the Aberdeenshire villages of Portsoy and Pennan; to St Abb's Head in the Borders; Loch Thom in Greenock; St Monans in the East Neuk of Fife; and the Central Bar in Renton, West Dunbartonshire.
The original film was shot entirely in the Outer Hebrides.
Jenni Steele, film and creative industries manager at VisitScotland, said: "Since the novel by Compton Mackenzie was published back in 1947, Whisky Galore has been raising laughs for 70 years.
"Celebrating not only this nation's love for the 'Water of Life' but also demonstrating the warmth, humour and spirit of our people, this new film shows off Scotland at its dazzling best.
"Our handy map will allow visitors to explore the Whisky Galore locations and enjoy a set-jetting holiday around Scotland."
Gregor Fisher, who plays the postmaster, said: "I've been in this business for 40 years and I can honestly say this was one of the nicest, if not the nicest, job I've ever had.
"There were no negatives about it. On a seven-and-a-half-week shoot in Portsoy, it rained for half a day max, and even then it was very light drizzle.
"Normally when you take over a town, which we more or less did at Portsoy, there's a bit of aggro because you're closing roads and so on, but there was none of that."
"We were welcomed with open arms to the point that when I expressed an interest in buying some lobster, four lobsters were delivered to my door the next day, free of charge.
"I couldn't believe it. Half the community is in the film. It was a joy."
Tourism Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "Scotland is widely recognised as an excellent location for film and TV productions.
"Whisky Galore has been added to the growing list of films shot here. This map allows visitors from home and abroad to walk in the footsteps of the actors and actresses that appeared in the film, and they can also enjoy the spectacular scenery that Scotland has to offer."
The film is released in Scottish cinemas on Friday.
The SS Politician was headed for Jamaica when it ran aground on the northern side of Eriskay, in the Western Isles, in bad weather.
Scottish author Mackenzie published the novel Whisky Galore in 1947. It was adapted for cinema in a 1949 Ealing comedy.


China is "flooding" social media with comments by paid supporters in a bid to sway public opinion, a report has said.

The research by Harvard academics draws on leaked documents to paint a picture of the way China polices social media.
The government and its army of helpers write 488 million fake posts a year, the report said.
The profusion of comments on social media sits alongside other efforts, to find and delete content deemed too sensitive for Chinese citizens.
The vast majority of the comments and posts made on social media are crafted to look like they come from ordinary people, said the authors of the paper, who were led by Gary King from Harvard's department of government.
Many of the posts do not attempt to rebut or argue with critical commenters, they said.
"They do not step up to defend the government, its leaders, and their policies from criticism, no matter how vitriolic; indeed, they seem to avoid controversial issues entirely," said the paper.
"Letting an argument die, or changing the subject, usually works much better than picking an argument and getting someone's back up," it said.
More often Communist Party workers or ordinary citizens employed to post on behalf of the government engage in "cheerleading" about the state's achievements or its history.
The helpers are known within China as the "Fifty Cent Party" because of an unsubstantiated rumour that contributors are paid 50 cents for each of their posts.
The 488 million posts per year are made more effective by making sure they are added during the busiest times on social media or when a controversial issue is being widely debated.
The study used documents and spreadsheets leaked in 2014 that revealed the names and online pseudonyms of people employed by the Chinese authorities to post on the state's behalf.
The academics extrapolated from this sample in an attempt to estimate the true scale of official activity on social media sites.
There were good psychological reasons for using distraction rather than censorship or counter-arguments, the paper said.
"Since censorship alone seems to anger people, the 50c astroturfing program [entailing creation of fake grassroots content] has the additional advantage of enabling the government to actively control opinion without having to censor as much as they might otherwise," the authors concluded.


Debt concerns at Christmas can be alleviated by seeking advice well before the bills come in, a charity has suggested.

The Money Advice Trust, which runs the National Debtline service, said that less than a third of people it surveyed had a budget for the festive period.
It added that a third would be borrowing to pay for Christmas costs.
Various advice services say that building up a savings buffer is key to paying for expensive times of year.
Selling unwanted items can also raise some last-minute cash, they add.
"Money worries can have a huge impact on your life at any time - but the fact that they are putting Christmas at risk for up to five million people shows what an extremely difficult time of year this can be," said Joanna Elson, chief executive of the Money Advice Trust.
"This is also, of course, a busy time of year - and it is easy to see why many people don't want to deal with financial problems in December.
"However, our research shows there are millions of people worrying about Christmas finances who could benefit from seeking advice now, to start to resolve their financial problems. Three-quarters of callers to National Debtline tell us they feel less stressed as a result - and often that first step is the hardest to take."
Recent research suggested that Christmas dinners and trees had been falling in price in real terms compared with previous years, but the Bank of England warned that "vigilance" was needed over levels of personal debt which have been accelerating recently.
Matt Barlow, chief executive of Christians Against Poverty, said: "The average annual household income of our clients is around Â£14,000 so it takes very little to push people into a crisis situation and, sometimes, the pressure to spend at Christmas does just that."


The UK is facing a £1.7bn fine after failing to stop Chinese criminal gangs using the country as a fraud "hub", despite repeated warnings.

Clothes and shoes were imported through the UK at fictitiously low values for years to avoid duties, the European Anti-Fraud Office (Olaf) has found.
As a result, investigators say the EU budget has lost millions of pounds in customs duties.
HMRC said it plans to challenge Olaf's claims about lost revenues.
The Olaf investigation found the UK to be a "significant hub" for so-called undervaluation fraud - where importers can profit from evading customs duties and related taxes.
Organised crime groups are using fake invoices to undervalue goods being imported from China - many of which are destined for the black market in other parts of the EU, investigators found.
They say the fraud has cost the EU £1.7bn in lost duties between 2013-16 and now they want the European Commission to recover the money from the UK.
In 2016, according to Olaf, 79.2% of the €817.2m (£709m) losses in customs duties for the EU budget were through UK importation.
Olaf have said the losses to the EU budget are on-going, as this fraud is still happening.  Investigators warned HM Revenue and Customs a number of times but they failed to take tough action to curb the problem, it said.
A spokesman said: "Olaf has repeatedly drawn the attention of the UK customs authorities (HMRC) over the last years to the scale of the phenomenon and to the on-going revenue losses.
"As far as Olaf is aware, the UK authorities have not introduced risk profiles and the measures that they have taken do not appear to have curbed this traffic.
"To date, they have not initiated any criminal investigations in relation to these frauds."
He went on to say that it is the taxpayers who "pick up the tab" to compensate for the revenue losses.
But a spokesman for HMRC said: "This is not a bill, it is Olaf's estimate of evaded duty, and not one that is recognised by our experts who will be challenging Olaf on their calculations.
"HMRC has a very strong track record for tackling fraud and rule breaking of all kinds, securing more than £26.6bn last year alone and no one should be in any doubt that we are responding to the threat of fraud.
He added that HMRC is currently handling more than 550 cases relating to potential import fraud.


Lewis Hamilton says car failures were the only reason he lost his world title to Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.

The Briton had three engine failures over the season, which impacted on his points total, while Rosberg had none.
Hamilton won Sunday's season-ending race in Abu Dhabi but the German was second - sealing the championship.
"I did everything I could, particularly towards the end. Nico had a clean year without any real issues and that's why we sit in this position," he said.
"But he did a fantastic job, so big congratulations to him."
Hamilton, 31, had two identical problems with the hybrid system that meant he started down the grid in early-season races in China and Russia, and the replacement parts used in the repairs led to a grid penalty that meant he had to start at the back at the Belgian Grand Prix later in the year.
He then had an engine failure while leading the Malaysian Grand Prix in September, which turned what would have been a small lead in the championship over Mercedes team-mate Rosberg into a 23-point deficit with five races to go.
"I was generally quickest most of the year, so it's definitely been a positive, a lot of positives to take from it. So I take that into next season," Hamilton said.

By contrast, 31-year-old Rosberg only suffered one technical problem in a race, which dropped him from second to third at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Hamilton decided to drive deliberately slowly in Abu Dhabi in an attempt to back Rosberg into other drivers and demote the German below the third place he needed to clinch the title.
He repeatedly ignored orders to speed up from the team, and said he made no apologies for his actions.
"I'm in a position where I've obviously had a lot of points lost during the season so, for me, I'm out there fighting and I generally never try to do anything to harm the team or the brand or anything like that.
"But we've won the constructors' championship so it was down to me and Nico and yet they still felt they needed to make comments.
"We'll discuss it afterwards as a team as we always do and pull back in. But we can't let that overshadow the fact Nico's just won a championship and the team has dominated all year long. It's been an incredibly successful year."
Rosberg said there had been two defining moments in his success this year - one was losing the 2015 championship to Hamilton with three races to go in the US and the other was his decision while winning the first four races of this season to focus hard only on each individual weekend and not address the championship at all in public.
"Austin was a horrible experience for me and I really spent two days just on my own thinking and I said I didn't ever want to experience that again," said the German.
"And then I went and won the next seven races on the trot. It was a big moment for me and one of the key moments in being here today."
He added: "(Mental strength) is a key ingredient. It's continual. It's just my approach I have taken for myself.
"Everybody does it his own way. For me that feels best and I've really learned to focus hard. It takes a lot of sacrifice to stay so focused during a whole year."
He added that he had not decided whether to use the number one on his car next year, as is his right as world champion.

A 46-year-old man who indecently assaulted a woman in the street in Perth has been jailed for six years.

John Ness grabbed the woman from behind as she walked along St Leonard's Bank in the early hours of 25 May.
He pushed her to the ground and, removing her top and bra, placed his hand over her mouth and told her to be quiet.
Ness, who has two previous high court convictions for sex attacks, was placed on the sex offenders' register.
Following his conviction at the High Court in Edinburgh, it emerged Ness, a prisoner at HMP Perth, had also been convicted of attempted rape at the same court in 1988.
He was then convicted at the High Court in Dunfermline in 1992 of another indecent assault .
Jailing him for six years, Lord Glennie told Ness: "You have left your victim traumatised.
"It appears to me that you haven't learned anything from your previous convictions."


One of Australia's most popular TV presenters has offered a lengthy apology after using an "ignorant jibe" considered offensive to transgender people.

Karl Stefanovic, the award-winning host of the Nine Network's Today morning show, is famous for his awkward interviews, on-air pranks and appearing on television while inebriated.
But in an apology stretching for three minutes, he has admitted to overstepping the mark after a series of off-colour jokes during Thursday's show.
During a live cross, a Nine reporter described how she and a cameraman were attacked by "transvestites" shortly after arriving in Rio de Janeiro to cover the Olympics.
This prompted Stefanovic to make a series of cross-dressing themed jokes, including a comment that the cameraman was "no stranger to the ways of the tranny".
A guide to transgender terms
His use of the term "tranny" drew sharp criticism from the LGTBI community and on social media.
On Friday morning, Mr Stefanovic issued a heartfelt apology, saying he got it "wrong, very wrong". He pledged to never use the word again.
"As we all know I can be a complete tool. Yesterday I was worse, I was an ignorant tool," he said.
"I honestly didn't know the negative and deeply hurtful impact that word has not only on members of the LGBTIQ community but on their family and friends.
"Because I know trans people are fun-loving, life-celebrating people I actually assumed they might laugh along with me, I assumed wrong."
While the apology was praised on social media, comments on the Today show's Facebook page were mixed.
"Personally think there was no need to apologise," said one Facebook user. "I think the minority that complain need to have a cup of cement and harden up."
Corey Sinclair, editor of Sydney's Star Observer gay and lesbian community newspaper, said the apology was "refreshing and heartfelt".
"Karl seems to have taken on board what people have been saying and acknowledged the damage his comments caused," he said.
"I think it takes a big person to admit when they're wrong. Hopefully it has made others aware that sort of language is simply unacceptable."
Despite his brash on-screen personality, Stefanovic has won plaudits for his sensitive side. He once wore the same suit on the Today show for a year to highlight the scrutiny his female co-hosts faced over their fashion choices.


League One club Port Vale have taken their number of new signings this summer to 12 with the addition of French midfielder Sebastien Amoros.

The 21-year-old has joined from Monaco on a one-year deal at Vale Park as the influx of new signings under new boss Bruno Ribeiro continues.
Amoros came through the academy at Monaco and was captain of their reserve side last season.
His 12-month contract has an option for a further year.
Vale chairman Norman Smurthwaite revealed negotiations over the transfer were delayed over concerns with the player's medical, but that was resolved and Smurthwaite added the recruitment drive may not yet be over.
"Now there's something else come on the radar," he told BBC Radio Stoke. "We should take him but the squad is so big, will he get game time?
"It'll be interesting to see what Bruno thinks about the players who need to go out on loan."

Wales captain Ashley Williams says he "felt sick inside" when he realised Everton team-mate Seamus Coleman had broken his leg in Friday's World Cup qualifier in Dublin.

Coleman will leave hospital after surgery for a double break, suffered in a tackle that saw Neil Taylor sent off.
Williams also revealed Taylor wanted to see Coleman in hospital and sent him a text message from the Aviva Stadium.
"Neil was gutted. He was sitting on the floor virtually in tears," he said.
Williams added in an interview with the Everton website: "Even people who don't know Seamus like I do were gutted.
"He asked me to check if it would be OK to go to see Seamus in hospital. He got his number off me and sent him a text straight away.
"When I found out it was a broken leg it made me feel sick inside because it's someone who I like so much and is one of my mates.
"He's going to have up and down days but the way he is, I'm sure his determination will help with his rehab and hopefully we'll have him back sooner rather than later and stronger than ever."
Williams says Coleman has become one of his best friends at the Merseyside club since joining from Swansea City last summer.
The centre-back says he did not initially realise the extent of the injury, which was so severe that broadcasters refused to show replays of the incident.

"Seamus is one of my best mates at Everton, someone who I've got really close to," Williams said.
"For me personally, I didn't really know anyone at Everton when I came to the club but he was someone who made me feel welcome and helped me to settle in straight away.
"I tried to go to the hospital Seamus was in after the game but the FAI (Football Association of Wales) said he'd had a few family visitors and they were trying to get him to sleep.
"I sent him a text and he woke up in the night and texted me back. I spoke to him then. I've spoken to him since, too, and he seems positive and focused on his recovery."
Williams was pictured comforting Coleman as he was taken off the field on a stretcher and says he initially had not realised the extent of the damage.
"I didn't really see the tackle. All I saw was the red card and my initial reaction was to go to the referee," he said.

"At the time I was in the swing of things. It took me a minute to realise, 'Actually, he hasn't got up,' and that it was Seamus who was down.
"At that point, I wasn't thinking about the game, or us being down to 10 men, I started thinking, 'Is my mate okay?' That was when I went over to him.
"Even at that point I didn't know it was so serious. After the game I went straight into their dressing room to speak to James McCarthy and he told me Seamus had gone to hospital and had broken his leg.
"It was just a weird feeling from everyone around the dressing rooms."


An update to one of the most important manuals in mental health - known as the bible of psychiatry - has been unveiled.

Controversy and criticism has surrounded work on the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
Critics say the rulebook turns normal behaviour, like grief or childhood temper tantrums, into mental illness.
It is used mainly in the US, but is influential around the world.
This is the first update to the volume since 1994. Experts in mental health have been taking account of the latest scientific developments to update ways of diagnosing mental disorders.
The changes were presented at a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
There are new categories including binge eating disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (previously known as childhood bipolar disorder) and hoarding disorder.
Meanwhile Asperger's syndrome is one of four previously separate conditions that have now become part of a single condition called autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
ASD now encompasses autism as known previously, Asperger's disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder which has not been specified.
The main symptoms of ASD are deficits in social communication and social interaction and restricted repetitive behaviours, interests, and activities.
The publication will have no effect on how people are diagnosed in the UK and other countries which use guidelines from the World Health Organization.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been modified to emphasise that this disorder can continue into adulthood.
Ahead of the update, Prof Peter Kinderman, head of the Institute of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, argued on the BBC's Scrubbing Up column that: "[DSM-5] will lower many diagnostic thresholds and increase the number of people in the general population seen as having a mental illness."
He said "normal grief" would now be classed as a major depressive disorder and childhood temper tantrums would be a symptom of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
Also: "A wide range of unfortunate human behaviours, the subject of many new year's resolutions, will become mental illnesses - excessive eating will become 'binge eating disorder', and the category of 'behavioural addictions' will widen significantly to include such 'disorders' as 'internet addiction' and 'sex addiction'."
There is also criticism of the way DSM-5 classifies diseases based on symptoms. There are efforts to harness advances in genetics and neuroscience to diagnose people based on the cause rather than the symptoms of the illness.
The director of the US government's National Institute of Mental Health said the DSM had a "lack of validity".
Dr Thomas Insel posted a blog saying: "Unlike our definitions of ischemic heart disease, lymphoma, or Aids, the DSM diagnoses are based on a consensus about clusters of clinical symptoms, not any objective laboratory measure.
"In the rest of medicine, this would be equivalent to creating diagnostic systems based on the nature of chest pain or the quality of fever."
In some areas the distinction between disorders is narrowing. Autism, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and schizophrenia are all classed as separate disorders based on their symptoms.
However, research published in the Lancet medical journal in February showed all five disorders shared several genetic risk factors.
Dr David Kupfer, the chair of the DSM-5 task force, said: "The changes to the manual will help clinicians more precisely identify mental disorders and improve diagnosis while maintaining the continuity of care.
"We expect these changes to help clinicians better serve patients and to deepen our understanding of these disorders based on new research."


It's not the first time Stephen Crabb has had a problem with bishops.

Two months ago, the Welsh secretary went into bat for the government after more than 80 Church of England bishops accused ministers of an inadequate response to the migration crisis.
Mr Crabb told Sky News "in a sense Church of England bishops criticising the Conservative government isn't really news" before arguing that the response had been one of compassion. He added: "If you go back decades now, if we had listened to the bishops and all of their prescriptions for economic and social policy, we'd probably have debt a lot higher and we wouldn't have the kind of economic recovery we've got."
Now the churchgoing Mr Crabb has a problem with Church in Wales bishops. Admittedly, there are fewer of them but they have added their voices to the chorus of discontent that seems to accompany the increasingly friendless draft Wales Bill on its journey.
Declining to give their blessings to the Bill, the bishops conclude: "Wales deserves, and has asked for, a settlement which is fair and just. What is on offer at the moment is a rather rushed Bill which goes against the spirit of both what the prime minister promised after the Scottish referendum and the desire expressed in the Bill's foreword."
Mr Crabb could be forgiven for wondering if no-one will rid him of these turbulent priests. Conservative MP Glyn Davies took to Twitter to conclude: "Another day, another kicking for the Wales Bill. If I were Sec of State I might be tempted to scrap the whole idea!"
Mr Crabb is not apparently tempted to scrap the Bill but seasoned observers of the devolution scene concluded that his tone before AMs in Cardiff on Monday was more conciliatory. He agreed that the list of reserved powers - or 267 powers Westminster doesn't want Wales to have as walesonline.co.uk put it - was too long.
He said he was surprised to see hovercrafts on the list, and even had to explain to his children what a hovercraft is.
They may need updating on 1950s inventions but, growing up in Wales in the 21st century, the little Crabbs should at least be well aware of more modern inventions such as the Barnett formula, legislative competence orders, the lockstep, and the Richard, Silk and Holtham commissions.


A coastguard volunteer and lifeboat crew member have come together over their shared love of sea rescue.

Rhyl coastguard team volunteer Andrea Keenan and her RNLI crew member husband Andy tied the knot at a secret ceremony and held their official celebrations at the weekend.
The couple were given a traditional marriage salute by their coastguard colleagues.
Andrea has been a volunteer with the coastguard for the past 15 years.
After helping her to respond to 999 calls, Andy joined the Rhyl RNLI volunteer crew.
Now both frequently help rescue people in difficulty off the north Wales coast.
Coxswain Martin Jones of Rhyl lifeboat said: "Both the coastguards and the lifeboat crew are very proud of the happy couple, and wish Andrea and Andy all the best in their future life together".


Kirsty Gilmour staged a stirring comeback to seal a place in Sunday's final of the European Championships.

The Scot, 22, was a game and 18-16 down against Denmark's Anna Thea Madsen before winning 17-21 21-18 21-19.
Second seed Gilmour will meet Spain's Carolina Marin in the final after the top seed beat Line Kjaersfeldt 23-21 21-15 in La Roche Sur Yon, France.
In the men's singles, England's Rajiv Ouseph took a second successive bronze medal after losing his semi-final.
Ouseph, the silver medallist in 2014, was beaten 21-11 21-16 by last year's champion and top seed Jan O Jorgensen of Denmark.
On reaching the final, Gilmour said: "I feel happy, feel relief, I feel excited, tired - all of those things. I am just delighted.
"Remaining calm on court, not getting ahead of myself, not thinking too much was the key."


Scunthorpe United have sacked manager Mark Robins and assistant David Kelly with the club lying 16th in League One.

The Iron have won only two of their last eight league games and suffered a 5-0 defeat at Blackpool at the weekend.
Robins, 46, previously managed Huddersfield Town and Barnsley before joining Scunthorpe in October 2014.
"We are sad to part company with Mark and 'Ned', but we have to think about the best interests of Scunthorpe United Football Club," a club statement said.
Andy Dawson and Nick Daws will take temporary charge of the club while they search for a new manager.
"We don't have a candidate in mind to replace Mark at this stage and it may take a few weeks," club chairman Peter Swann told BBC Radio Humberside.
Scunthorpe are six points above the League One relegation zone, with nine points between them and the final play-off position.
The Iron endured a difficult start to the season, winning just two of their first 10 games, but progressed to the third round of the FA Cup before losing 2-0 at Chelsea.


Welsh football is set for a bumper financial legacy thanks to the success of the national team at Euro 2016.

Wales' progress to the quarter finals has netted the Football Association of Wales 14m euros (£11.3m) in prize money so far.
It will get another 4m euros (£3.2m) if Chris Coleman's side make it through to the semi-finals with a win on Friday.
It is big money for the relatively small FAW, which made a profit of £20,000 last year.
Chief executive Jonathan Ford told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme that tournament progress had been "an absolute dream come true."
"It has gone beyond my dreams, it has gone beyond the nation's dreams. Wales - wow - through to the last eight in Euro 2016," he added.
The FAW will have to spend some of the prize money on hotels and transportation, staffing costs and player bonuses, but it will invest the rest in the sport itself.
"It is the job of the FAW to develop, promote and protect Welsh football," said Mr Ford.
"And what better way than to see our team play at the highest level in Europe.
"It certainly helps as far as achieving the objectives we set ourselves in our strategic plan and what we are now really able to do is to achieve those objectives more quickly and better than we would have without the team having qualified."
The tournament is the first time Wales have qualified for a major finals in 58 years and the side have now matched the achievement of the 1958 World Cup team which reached the last eight and lost 1-0 to eventual winners Brazil.
When asked if Welsh qualification was the new norm, Mr Ford replied: "I certainly hope so. We have got to look at this in a consistent way.
"It is not about one qualification, but doing it in a consistent fashion.
"Let's hope that after this - and we do not want this to end any time soon - we can concentrate on World Cup 2018 and see our way to Russia as well."
In a real "absolute dream" scenario Wales would pick up another 8m euros (£6.4m) if they went on to become European champions.
Participation in tournament - 8m euro (£6.4m)
Each win in the pool stages - 1m euro (£812,000)
Reach last 16 - 1.5m euro (£1.2m)
Reach quarter finals - 2.5m euro (£2m)
Reach semi finals 4m euro (£3.2m)
Champions 8m euro (£6.4m)


A cyclist has been charged following the death of a pedestrian in east London.

Charlie Alliston appeared in court following the death of 44-year-old Kim Briggs, who was hit while crossing Old Street in Shoreditch on 12 February.
Mr Alliston, 19, of Trothy Road, Bermondsey, is accused of causing bodily harm by wilful misconduct.
He appeared at Thames Magistrates' Court earlier and is due at the Old Bailey on 12 October.


The former producer of Jim'll Fix It has said he told staff on the show that Jimmy Savile should not be left alone with children.

But Roger Ordish said the warning would have applied to any presenter and was not based on a concern that young people would be harmed.
It follows the Dame Janet Smith review which found that the BBC missed chances to stop "monstrous" abuse by Savile.
The review identified 72 victims of Savile including eight rape victims.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Ordish - who produced Jim'll Fix It for its whole 19-year run - said he remembered telling staff Savile should not be left alone with youngsters.
But he said the advice was not based on a fear that "something awful" might happen but a rule that children should always be chaperoned.
He also said that Savile's presence could be "unnerving" and "frightening" for some young people.
In her review Dame Janet described Mr Ordish as honest and decent, saying she was satisfied he had not been aware of any criminal conduct by Savile.
Dame Janet said Savile - who died in 2011 aged 84 without ever facing prosecution - and broadcaster Stuart Hall were "serial sexual predators" and the BBC had missed five clear opportunities to stop their misconduct.
The report found Savile would commit sexual assaults "whenever the opportunity arose" and incidents took place "in virtually every one of the BBC premises at which he worked".
His usual tactic with young girls - and in some cases boys - was to groom them by inviting them to watch him perform on set and then make a sexual approach in his dressing room, the report said.
The review found that senior managers were not told of complaints about Savile because of an "atmosphere of fear" which still exists in the BBC.
The impartial investigation was set up by the BBC in 2012 to look at the corporation's culture and practices during the years it employed Savile - thought to be from 1964 to 2007. It found:

An emotional Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger has played his final international game.

He was in tears at a presentation before Germany's 2-0 friendly win over Finland in Monchengladbach.
The Manchester United midfielder, 32, made his Germany debut in June 2004 and ends his international career with 121 caps and 24 goals.
"It means so much that you're here today. It has been an honour to play for you," he told the crowd.
"I think you all saw how it affected me. I had just wanted to enjoy every moment, but I hadn't expected it to be so lovely."
Schweinsteiger, who was substituted to a standing ovation after 66 minutes, holds the German record for European Championship appearances, having played 18 times at the tournament.
He was part of Germany's 2014 World Cup-winning squad and retires as Germany's fourth most-capped player of all time.
Schweinsteiger, who this week denied he had a problem with new United manager Jose Mourinho, said he wanted to play for the Reds again despite being left out of their first-team squad.
"I have a contract with United until 2018 and it's my dream to run out there again," he added.
"I love football still too much and that means being on the field, playing, and that is what I am thinking about."
Manchester United captain and team-mate Wayne Rooney tweeted his congratulations on a "special international career", while former Germany international Didi Hamann described Schweinsteiger as "one of the all-time greats".


The first minister's council of economic advisers has met for the first time since the EU referendum result.

Council members discussed the current state of Scotland's economy following the UK's vote to leave the European Union.
The group will continue to monitor the country's economic performance as the impact of Brexit becomes clearer.
Nicola Sturgeon said the council plays a critical role in growing the economy.
She said: "We have acted to take further measures to stimulate the economy and support jobs by adding an additional Â£100m to our capital infrastructure programme this year.
"While Scotland's economy has a range of fundamental strengths, in the face of the continuing uncertainty following the Brexit vote Council members will consider the current economic outlook, prospects for growth and advise on our economic approach as our potential future relationship with the EU becomes clearer."
Chairman of the council Crawford Beveridge said: "This is a challenging time for Scotland's economy given the uncertainties that lie ahead.
"In our role as an independent advisory group, our members bring expertise from across a range of areas, both nationally and internationally, and benefit from direct links to the Standing Council on Europe.
"We act as a 'critical friend' and sounding board to advise the first minister on key areas impacting on Scotland's performance, including on the economic implications of the EU referendum outcome, innovation and inclusive growth."


Film director Ken Loach has backed a community buyout scheme by fans of cash-strapped Bath City Football Club.

The supporters of the Conference South side are hoping to raise a maximum of Â£1.25m in order to buy the club and and run it as a community-owned asset.
A fundraising campaign is taking place over the summer where people interested in investing can buy shares priced from Â£250 to Â£100,000.
Mr Loach said: "It needs the whole city to get behind the project."
The life-long fan of the club said the takeover bid could "set us on the road for a successful future, long-term."
"It seems a big challenge, but actually it's quite possible," he added.
Big Bath City Bid chairman Jon Bickley said: "We know that we are asking for a big investment from the local community - people will rightly expect to see a solid and sustainable business plan before they buy shares.
"We are confident that we have the right approach to return the club to profitability."
If the campaign is a success, a binding offer will be made towards the end of the fundraising period.
Bath City FC said it was broadly supportive of Big Bath City Bid's aims, but remains open to all options.
The campaign is being launched at an event at the Guildhall in Bath later.


An Egyptian court has pronounced death sentences on ousted president Mohammed Morsi and more than 100 other people over a mass prison break in 2011.

Morsi is already serving a 20-year prison term for ordering the arrest and torture of protesters while in power.
Egypt's religious authorities will now have to give their opinion before the sentence can be carried out.
Morsi's supporters from his Muslim Brotherhood movement have described the charges against him as "farcical".
He was deposed by the military in July 2013 following mass street protests against his rule.
Since then, the authorities have banned the Muslim Brotherhood and arrested thousands of his supporters.
In a separate case on Saturday, an Egyptian court banned hardcore football fan clubs known as the Ultras, who played a leading role in protests during the 2011 uprising against then-president Hosni Mubarak.
Inside the dock, Morsi and members of his Muslim Brotherhood group chanted, "Down with military rule!" after the judge read out his ruling against him.
The judge's request for the death sentence in connection with the jailbreak case was referred to the grand mufti, a high religious cleric, for ratification.
However, the mufti's recommendation is not binding. Even if he advises against the death sentence, the judge can still go ahead with it.
The Brotherhood issued a statement condemning the sentence and called for an escalation of protests.
But the tight security grip in Egypt means that it is highly unlikely to see mass demonstrations.
Hundreds of Brotherhood supporters are already behind bars, while others are keeping a low profile for fear of a crackdown.
Morsi raised both fists in defiance as the sentences were given.
Morsi, who escaped from Wadi Natroun prison in January 2011, was accused of colluding with foreign militants in a plot to free Islamists during the mass prison breaks.
Many of his 104 co-defendants were Palestinians accused of being members of militant group Hamas, and were charged in absentia.
The court also issued rulings on another case, sentencing 16 Muslim Brotherhood members, including deputy leader Khairat al-Shater, to death on spying charges.
Morsi, who also faces espionage charges, will be issued a verdict in that case at a later date.
Hundreds of people have been sentenced to death in a crackdown on the Brotherhood following Morsi's removal in 2013.
However, it is thought that only one such death sentence has been carried out so far.
All death sentences must first be sent to the grand mufti, Egypt's highest religious authority, for his non-binding opinion on whether they should stand.
Convictions are still open to appeal, even if the grand mufti gives his approval.
'Erasing democracy'
Morsi's supporters have condemned the cases against him as a political show trial.
Amr Darrag, a former minister in Morsi's government, described Saturday as "one of the darkest days" in Egypt's history.
"These latest charges are another deeply disturbing attempt to permanently erase democracy and the democratic process in Egypt," he said in a statement.
The death sentence was also condemned by Amnesty International, which said it had become a tool "to purge the political opposition", and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who likened it to a return to "ancient Egypt".
Morsi was Egypt's first freely elected president, but protests began building less than a year into his rule when he issued a decree granting himself far-reaching powers.
The armed forces, led by then-military chief Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, ousted Morsi in July 2013.
In May 2014, Mr Sisi became president after securing a landslide victory in presidential elections with a turnout of 46%.


The merger of two of Wales' commercial news websites risks "trashing" well-established brands, according to Labour assembly member Lee Waters.

The South Wales Evening Post website has been scrapped, with its journalists now publishing on Wales Online.
But the Evening Post's editor said the change would offer a "much-improved" experience for audiences and advertisers.
Both brands are owned by the publisher Trinity Mirror.
The media group operates many of Wales' newspapers and their websites.
Llanelli AM Mr Waters sits on the assembly's culture committee, which will investigate the news industry later this year.
"I think there's a real danger that we are trashing well-established, trusted brands," he said.
"The Evening Post has spent generations building up credibility. I am a former Evening Post newspaper boy and people trust what they read.
"There is a real danger, in trying to shift this into a different setting which is a Wales Online site, that they will lose audiences and they will lose credibility with those audiences, all in search of clicks."
Stories generated by the South Wales Evening Post news team will now appear on the Wales Online website, while the Post's social media presence has been re-branded Swansea Online.
The Evening Post newspaper is not affected by the changes.
Editor Jonathan Roberts said the online merger would be better for its audiences.
"The South Wales Evening Post news team is now going to join with our colleagues at Wales Online and will become one editorial team serving the whole of Wales.
"The Swansea site will now merge into Wales Online, which is a bigger and better website and will provide a much-improved user experience for our audience. So we are pretty excited about it."
Mr Waters sits on the assembly's culture committee, which will investigate the print and digital news industry later this year.
He said: "I think it's right that politicians do get involved, because this is ultimately about accountability and power. But we also need to recognise that we don't have any easy answers to this."
What the Evening Post are doing was "understandable", he said, but added he was concerned about the "quality" of the news and journalism.
But Mr Roberts said Wales Online's "phenomenal growth" meant audiences in south west Wales would be better served by the changes.
"I think if you look at Wales Online, it is a success story in its own right. Its growth over the last decade has been phenomenal, really.
"What you have is a digital brand for a digital audience. Its print products that are produced in Cardiff - the Western Mail, the South Wales Echo, the Wales on Sunday - those brands continue to retain a strong profile within the industry, within the country and within the minds of readers. So no, I don't see any dilution of the brand necessarily.
"It's a digital brand for a modern-day audience."
Trinity Mirror said the merger decision was designed to create a "thriving digital Welsh news brand" and "will have no negative impact on any of our print titles".
A spokesman for the media company said it would protect the quality of its journalism and added: "The regular audience figures we have for Wales Online shows that this is a trusted brand, and people are going there time and time again because it is a reputable source for news in Wales.
"We are investing heavily in journalism in Wales and the transition of the site into Wales Online will free up more resources for capturing the stories that matter to people.
"There's going to be an increase in our coverage of the region, not less."


Neil Warnock admits he made a 'selfish' decision to bring on match-winning substitute Rhys Healey.

The 22-year-old scored his first City goal in Cardiff's 1-0 win over Burton, but will now be unable to move to another club this season.
Healey can not play for a third side in the same season due to Football League regulations, having spent four months on loan at Newport County.
I am afraid I was a bit selfish today," Warnock told BBC Wales Sport.
"I was tempted not to use him, because by using him means he can't go out on loan now, because of that rule about two teams.
"He's really worked hard this season and he has played a lot of games at Newport.
"I didn't want to spoil it, but I have no regrets about it."
Warnock felt Healey, who was spotted by Cardiff playing in the Welsh Premier League for Connah's Quay Nomads, has earned his opportunity,
"I've watched him twice myself and the lads have watched him and believe it or not, it was probably his finishing that let him down a little bit at Newport," Warnock explained.
"When he came on he was a threat, he was a nuisance and to get his first goal is fabulous for him.
"He's done well in training. He's made himself a nuisance. I thought he was good enough to come on and he got his reward.
"He won't be going anywhere now, he's stuck with us whether he likes it or not.
"The goal will give him a lift and nothing fazes him. I told him to enjoy it and he did and it was lovely to see the lad get a round of applause in the dressing room.
Warnock says the scrappy nature of the win over Burton made him cherish the three points all the more,
"That is probably the best three points since I have been at the club," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"As a manager, these are the best wins ever. The wins like this where it is a scrappy horrible game."

Since the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls two months ago and subsequent international promises of assistance to Nigeria, attacks by Islamist Boko Haram militants have been relentless.

This year has been without doubt the most violent stage of the conflict so far, with at least 3,300 people killed in Boko Haram-related violence since January.
And where the insurgents are operating they are killing, looting and torching entire villages often with little or no resistance.
"If government can't protect us, let them give us guns," one resident of a village near Chibok, from where the girls were abducted, told me.
"We are sick and tired of running away every night," he said, adding that people were increasingly relying on traditional medicine for protection - performing rituals in a desperate hope of becoming what is known as "bulletproof".
Given the nature of a counter-insurgency, the military faces a huge challenge.
Boko Haram fighters can hide out and then converge to pick a target, easily outnumbering the defensive troops at that location.
"The army has to be everywhere; Boko Haram does not," says James Hall, a retired colonel and former UK military attache to Nigeria.
"The Nigerian military is outgunned because Boko Haram can concentrate its firepower on one place where the army is not present.
"They need a lot higher density of troops per square mile in the north-east than they have."
But there are also complaints of being totally let down by the military in the worst-affected areas.
Take Gwoza district in Borno state for example, where the militants have raised black-and-white jihadist flags in several villages.
On 1 June, they attacked a church in Attagara, killing nine people - but the villagers retaliated, killing many more militants.
Two days later, the insurgents returned to punish the entire village.
After tricking people into thinking they were soldiers who had come to protect them, they opened fire - chasing those who fled on motorbikes.
Survivors hid in the nearby hills from where they could see billowing smoke as village after village came under attack.
They told the BBC that more than a week after the attacks started soldiers had not reached the area.
These were not hit-and-run attacks, they were hit and occupy.
It was too dangerous for men to go back to the village and young women risked abduction, so they sent elderly women to bury the dead.
"The women went around with their hoes and dug shallow graves where they found the corpses," a survivor said.
Neither the government nor the military said a word about the attacks until 6 June.
Who are Boko Haram?

Why Nigeria has not defeated Boko Haram
It has also been suggested that soldiers have not had the equipment they need to fight this war, despite massive increases in the security budget in recent years.
In February, President Goodluck Jonathan was angered when the Borno state governor said Boko Haram was better equipped and motivated than the military.
Last week, he seemed to be admitting there was a problem after all.
"I assure you that those issues of equipment and other things for the military, we're handling them," he was quoted as saying.
Recent international summits on Boko Haram have suited the Nigerian government.
Having been accused of playing down the gravity of the insurgency, President Jonathan has recently been referring to the group as "al-Qaeda in West Africa", in what some see as an effort to internationalise the issue and spread the blame.
Although Boko Haram is known to have had links to al-Qaeda-affiliated groups, it is still a very Nigerian problem, and to keep the north-east safe, improvements to the military are needed.
But there is no quick fix, even with heavy reinforcements.
"Lack of communications equipment and mobility make rapid response extremely difficult," Mr Hall said.
"New equipment, new training and new people are all required - and that takes time."
The schoolgirl abductions put the insurgency in the world's spotlight but the incessant killings since then have not created anything like the same attention.
"The thing I've noticed is that conflicts, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, fade from the headlines pretty quickly," the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, told the BBC after a visit to Nigeria last week.
"Boko Haram are a group of the upmost evil. The militants are dealing out death right, left and centre without hesitation and without mercy."
The Nigerian authorities were heavily criticised after the abductions - not because the atrocity had been allowed to happen but because there was disbelief that it was hardly registering on the government's radar.
President Jonathan was being told that it was all a ploy by political opponents and rather than focusing on rescuing the girls, more energy seemed to be spent playing down the scale of the tragedy.
Given that criticism, Archbishop Welby was asked whether he thought the government was now taking Boko Haram seriously.
"There is no question this is the dominant issue in the country at any moment with all the senior people you talk to or listen to," was his response.
But many Nigerians disagree.
There is an election in less than a year and everything is being seen through that prism.
If the primary focus of all the politicians was keeping people safe from Boko Haram attacks, the situation in the north-east would improve considerably.
But it is not and that is the tragedy.
As the killings continue, the political campaigning goes up another gear each month.


Cyprus is lifting the last remaining capital controls it imposed on its banking system during the financial crisis of 2013.

Cyprus was the only crisis-hit eurozone country to restrict capital transfers, as it faced a run on the banks.
The controls were eased in January.
There will no longer be a monthly cap of €20,000 (£15,000; $22,000) on transfers by individuals to foreign banks, or of €10,000 for travellers moving money out of the country.
Cyprus received a €10bn bailout from the EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF) after its biggest banks nearly collapsed in March 2013 because of huge losses on their Greek investments.
The island's second-biggest lender, Cyprus Popular Bank (also known as Laiki Bank), was wound up and deposits worth more than €100,000 in the largest bank, Bank of Cyprus, were seized.
Those measures were part of the deal to ensure that Cyprus funded part of the €10bn bailout.
Speaking on Friday, Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades voiced confidence that the Mediterranean island was recovering well, despite three years of recession.
Lifting capital controls, he said, was "a vote of confidence in our banking system which, now fully independent of Greek banking institutions, can move forward".
The Greek debt crisis had a severe impact on Cypriot banks, which lost about €4.5bn worth of Greek sovereign bonds - equivalent to 25% of Cypriot gross domestic product, Reuters news agency reports.


Forest Green Rovers have signed goalkeeper Bradley Collins on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea.

Collins, 20, twice won the FA Youth Cup with Chelsea and lifted the UEFA Youth League in 2016.
"I'm delighted to have this opportunity coming from Chelsea Under-23s now to play men's football," Collins told the club website.
"Bradley joining Forest Green Rovers shows how far we've come," the League Two side's boss Mark Cooper added.

Daniel Johnson's penalty gave Alex Neil a victory over Sheffield Wednesday in his first game as Preston manager.

Sean Maguire and Callum Robinson both tested Owls keeper Keiren Westwood as the hosts had the better chances.
After substitute Ross Wallace fired over for the visitors, former Wednesday defender Tommy Spurr headed against the bar at the other end.
Johnson scored the winner from the spot after Tom Lees brought down Jordan Hugill in the area.
In a summer of change at Deepdale, former Norwich boss Neil replaced Simon Grayson who left for Sunderland in June.
The 36-year-old is likely to have been impressed with the performance from his new team, as they beat a side which had reached the Championship play-offs in the past two seasons.
At the start of the Owls' 150th anniversary campaign, the visitors struggled to threaten with their best chances falling to Glenn Loovens, who tested Chris Maxwell early on, and Wallace.
Robinson could have given the hosts the lead with a header which he directed straight at Westwood before curling a shot around the post.
Preston manager Alex Neil:
"Our strength is that we have such a good team spirit, they work so hard for each other and we got what we deserved today.
"When you have that amount of pressure, you want what you deserve. We could and maybe should have scored more.
"That's three points on the board now. Notoriously in the last two seasons we've not started well so it's pleasing to get three points on the board."
Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal:
"We deserved to lose the game. We were out of everything. We ran too much in the first half but with no brain.
"We didn't win too many second balls, Preston won all the second balls. We had one or two chances, Preston had more than us so congratulations to Preston.
"No excuses about us, we must do much better to win games in the Championship and we must analyse this game to do better in the future."

England captain Alastair Cook said defeat in the final Test at The Oval will not detract from a "special summer" for his Ashes-winning team.

Although Australia beat England by an innings and 46 runs in four days, the hosts ran out 3-2 series winners after regaining the urn at Trent Bridge.
"The last four days haven't quite gone to plan," Cook told Test Match Special.
"But going into the series no-one gave us a chance, so we can't let that take the gloss off a special summer."
Back-to-back victories at Edgbaston and Trent Bridge gave England an unassailable 3-1 lead going into the finale at The Oval.
However, they were outplayed by Australia, who completed their victory by taking England's last four second-innings wickets on a rain-hit final day.
"There has been a little bit missing in this match - it wasn't complacency - but emotionally to come from such a high at Trent Bridge and be 100% on it was hard and we couldn't quite manage it," said Cook.
Cook's team avenged their 5-0 whitewash down under to extend England's winning Ashes run on home soil to four series dating back to 2005.
But he insisted his young team have plenty of room for improvement after heavy defeats in two of the five Tests exposed flaws in the side.
"Are we near the peak? No, we're not. We're nowhere near the finished article, but we've got a very exciting team and I genuinely believe there will be some really good times," he said.
Australia's retiring captain Michael Clarke bemoaned the state of the pitches for the final three Tests, two of which were won by England inside three days.
Clarke claimed that calls in the English media for green, seaming pitches had influenced groundsmen at the venues.
"I'd like to see groundsmen around the world have the courage to go with what they think is a good cricket wicket," he said.
"In the first Two tests there was a lot of talk from the media and commentators about how flat the wickets were and yet those two matches were over in four days.
"One team won and one team lost. The next three were over in three days. I want to see good fair cricket for batters and bowlers and most importantly a winner and a loser."
Cook said: "The wickets were the same for both sides. In three of the five Test matches we played better than Australia and that's why we've won the Ashes.
"At certain moments we've had outstanding performances by a member of our side and the talent in our squad means we are going to win games quite quickly.
"We have some game-changers in that squad and in the Tests we've won we've really rammed home our advantage quickly."
There were only 18 days' play in the series - the joint lowest for a five-match series - after four-day finishes at Cardiff, Lord's and The Oval and three-day Tests at Edgbaston and Trent Bridge.
Australia coach Darren Lehmann said: "There aren't many matches that go five days, but three and a bit is a bit short.
"The people that miss out are the fans. That's the thing I worry about."
Amid England's celebrations, batsman Ian Bell admitted on Test Match Special that he would consider his future after a disappointing series in which he averaged 26.87.
Cook said he hopes 33-year-old Bell, who has played 115 Tests, decides to continue as England prepare to play Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in October.
"Ian Bell is a class player and I hope he's around for a few more years," he said.


Green Party candidate Jill Stein is attempting to engineer a recount of presidential ballots in three "Rust Belt" states won by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

Could this process reveal evidence of election fraud or even hand the presidency to Hillary Clinton? That seems highly unlikely.
But it hasn't prevented more than a bit of wild speculation, a Twitter tirade by the next White House incumbent and a flurry of lawsuits from both sides of the political divide.
Here's everything you need to know about the presidential election drama that just doesn't want to end.
The Green Party-backed recount campaign is focused on three states that Mr Trump won - Wisconsin (by 22,177 votes), Michigan (10,704 votes) and Pennsylvania (71,313 votes).
The review of ballots has already gone ahead in Wisconsin, but has yet to proceed in the other two states.
All three states account for 46 votes in the Electoral College, more than enough to tip the election to Mrs Clinton if they moved from Mr Trump's column to hers.
According to federal law, all recounts have to be concluded within 35 days of the election.
If Clinton supporters are working through their post-election grief, the millions of dollars that have poured in for recount efforts show that many are still firmly in the denial stage.
For Mrs Clinton to be declared the victor would require a swing of more than 100,000 votes across the three states - a move that would dwarf all previous recount results.
A Green Party-requested effort in Ohio in 2004 resulted in Democrat John Kerry netting a grand total of 285 votes more than President George W Bush, for instance.
The infamous Florida recount battle of 2000 involved shifts in the vote count measuring in the hundreds.
Even Ms Stein concedes that the recounts will not likely alter this election's outcome.
"These recounts are part of an election integrity movement to attempt to shine a light on just how untrustworthy the US election system is," she wrote on her website.
There's also the possibility that the recount, while not affecting enough votes to help Mrs Clinton, could reveal the results were tampered with, possibly by foreign hackers.
Although the Obama administration has said that there is no evidence to support this, there are indications that Russian-based hackers had probed voter databases in Arizona and Illinois earlier this year and were responsible for releasing private emails from high-level Democratic Party and Clinton campaign officials.
According to J Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan computer science professor, that's more than enough reason to support Ms Stein's recount efforts.
"Examining the physical evidence in these states  -  even if it finds nothing amiss  -  will help allay doubt and give voters justified confidence that the results are accurate," he writes on the website Medium.
"It will also set a precedent for routinely examining paper ballots, which will provide an important deterrent against cyber-attacks on future elections."
Of course, that doesn't really explain why Ms Stein is requesting a recount in Pennsylvania - where getting any kind of a meaningful information will be difficult.
Unlike Wisconsin and Michigan, most of Pennsylvania's voting machines leave no paper trail - so there's nothing physical to count.
One voting expert told the Los Angeles Times that a Pennsylvania recount would be a "nightmare scenario" requiring each of the state's 1980s-era voting machines to be individually accessed and their results retabulated.
The relatively archaic nature of the Pennsylvania machines does have a benefit, however.
Given that they are not connected to the internet, they would have to be individually hacked in order to alter their results - a daunting task for the most enterprising meddler.
Even the process for obtaining a recount in Pennsylvania is cumbersome.
Unlike Wisconsin and Michigan, requests have to be filed on a precinct-by-precinct level with at least three voters in each delivering notarised affidavits to their local election clerk.
There are 9,163 precincts in Pennsylvania, and according to Ms Stein challenges have only been filed in 260 of them - a drop in the bucket, electorally speaking.
She has filed suit requesting a full recount.
A couple of weeks after the election, Ms Stein began her online drive to raise the necessary funds to move forward with the process, as all three states require the petitioning party to pay for the recounts.
So far she has raised more than $6.7m (£5.3m).
The campaign's original stated goal was to raise $2.5m, but that target has since jumped several times and now stands at $9.5m.
The fundraising page on Ms Stein's website said there were other costs than just those owed to each state, including fees for lawyers and statewide recount observers.
Wisconsin came back and said the recount would cost $3.5m, much more than initially expected.
In Michigan, the Stein campaign has paid the legally required recount filing fee of $973,250, but the state attorney general says it could costs "millions".
Ms Stein has stressed the cash raised is going into an account specifically designated for the recount campaign, not into a general campaign fund.
Amid questions about what would happen to any unused money, the campaign added a line to its website saying: "If we raise more than what's needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform."
The Clinton team said it would co-operate with Ms Stein's recount efforts.
That only means the Clinton campaign will ensure it has representatives in any legal proceedings arising from the recount and observers on hand during the process.
"Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not planned to exercise this option ourselves, but now that a recount has been initiated in Wisconsin, we intend to participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides," Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Erik Elias wrote in a Medium post.
Mrs Clinton herself has kept silent on the matter - as have most of her top advisers.
Attorneys for the US president-elect and his supporters have moved to block election recount efforts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
And if there's one thing the impending recounts have revealed, it's that post-election Donald Trump will behave largely like pre-election Donald Trump - quick to take to Twitter to air grievances and settle perceived slights.
He fired off a series of tweets accusing the Green Party of staging the recount to "fill up their coffers" and condemning Mrs Clinton for reneging on her promise to accept the results.


A man had to be rescued by firefighters after a rollercoaster became stuck "in a very high position" on its tracks.

The man, who was suffering from back pain, was on the Wipeout ride at Pleasurewood Hills in Suffolk.
Firefighters had to use a cherry picker to reach him on Sunday afternoon.
Park-goer Bryony Davies said the incident lasted at least two hours. "Wipeout got stuck at the top and staff did incredibly well to get people down," she added.
Around 20 firefighters rescued the man in his 40s, who was taken to hospital in Gorleston from the park, near Lowestoft.
More news from Suffolk
Group Commander Ali Moseley said by the time fire crews had arrived, park staff had "managed to get the rollercoaster car down to an elevated platform after it seemed to get stuck in a very high position".
He added: "The car was about three metres off the ground in an awkward position as there was only an angled platform to stand on around the car to get access to him.
"The incident was caused because there seemed to be a fault with the ride. It didn't result in any massive injury, but there was some injury to the individual."
Mr Moseley said the other people on the ride were "quickly evacuated before the fire service arrived".
Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service described it as an "unusual" call-out.
A spokeswoman for Pleasurewood Hills said it was "a minor incident that was dealt with by [our] team".


Police and forensic officers are investigating the deaths of a man and a woman at a house in Aberdeen.

The bodies were discovered in a property in Cornhill Terrace shortly after 22:30 on Wednesday.
The area has been cordoned off by police who are treating the deaths as unexplained.
Det Insp Allen Shaw said the inquiry was at a "very early stage" but police officers believe the incident is "contained".
He added: "As our investigation continues there will be a strong police presence in the area and I would like to thank the local community in advance for their patience and cooperation."


Champion Hurdle favourite Yanworth failed a drugs test after finishing seventh in the race at Cheltenham in March.

The horse, owned by JP McManus, showed traces of medication which had not cleared his system on race day.
Trainer Alan King will be subject to a disciplinary inquiry on Thursday, with any penalty likely to be a fine.
Yanworth tested positive for the anti-inflammatory triamcinolone acetonide (TCA).
The cortisone substance was used by British Olympic cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins, who said he took the drug for allergies and respiratory problems after obtaining therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs). Athletes are allowed to use banned substances under TUEs if they have a genuine medical need.
The substance can also be used legally to treat horses, but it must have cleared their system by race days.
The Champion Hurdle was won by second favourite Buveur D'Air, ahead of My Tent Or Yours, in a 1-2 for McManus and trainer Nicky Henderson.
Yanworth ran again at the Grand National meeting in April, when stepped up in distance from two to three miles, and won the Aintree Hurdle. The seven-year-old passed a drugs test after that victory.
McManus' racing manager Frank Berry has declined to comment.
TCA was also found in the system of last year's Cheltenham Festival winner Any Currency, with the horse stripped of his win in the Glenfarclas Chase, although his trainer Martin Keighley was not fined.
It is not the first time one of King's horses has tested positive for TCA, with the trainer fined £1,000 and Midnight Cataria disqualified from second place at Kempton in October 2015 after the drug was detected in her system.
King and the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) agreed the source of the drug was the trainer's vet, who had treated the mare for lameness, with TCA remaining in her system for 52 days when it was anticipated it would have cleared after 21 days.
In 2011, the McManus-owned defending champion Binocular was withdrawn from the Champion Hurdle two days before the race.
On that occasion Henderson asked for a precautionary test which showed the horse still had medication for an allergy in his system and could test positive on the day of the race.
Meanwhile, the BHA has said its inquiry into trainer Stephen McConville is ongoing after one of his horses was ordered to be withdrawn from the Foxhunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Banned substances were allegedly found in the stable of Anseanachai Cliste.


Iain Duncan Smith has been talking about the impact of migration on the availability of housing.

The claim: Migration to the UK puts a heavy burden on housing stock - we would need to build 240 houses a day for 20 years to cope.
Reality Check verdict: The sums add up. Note that the figures include migration from outside the EU and are a projection based on the past.
"We need to build around 240 houses every day for the next 20 years just to be able to cope with increased demand from future migration," he said.
That works out at a total of 1.75 million houses.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) makes assumptions about future levels of migration in its population forecasts. In the latest release, published last October, the suggested figure for population increase due to net migration over a 25 year period is five million. Over the 20-year period from 2014 to 2034, the figure is approximately four million.
The average UK household size is 2.3 people so four million people does indeed equate to about 1.75 million homes, or 240 a day.
There are a couple of caveats. One is that the ONS figure is for immigration from both inside and outside the EU. At the moment, the EU accounts for just under half of total net migration.
And second, the ONS numbers are not a forecast of what they expect to happen. They are an assumption made on the basis of what has happened in the past.

Ulster moved up to second in the Pro12 standings thanks to this bonus-point win over Treviso at Kingspan Stadium.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Michael Allen's try helped a sluggish Ulster into a 10-0 lead at the break but the hosts sparkled in the final 20 minutes as they scored five tries.
A penalty try was reward for constant pressure and Stuart McCloskey went over before Ireland wing Craig Gilroy sprinted in for the bonus point.
Andrew Warwick touched down before Gilroy completed the rout.
Ulster edged out Treviso in Italy last month and they were expected to brush aside the visitors on home soil.
However, Treviso applied the early pressure as Ulster made a lacklustre start to the game.
The Italians failed to capitalise on their territorial dominance and Ulster finally sparked into life, with a 19th-minute penalty from Ruan Pienaar getting the hosts on the scoreboard.
The opening try came seven minutes later, with Allen jinking inside and darting through before Pienaar added the extras.
Ulster were now the team in control although handling errors and stubborn Treviso defending kept the gap at 10.
Pienaar had the chance to extend Ulster's advantage with the final action of the half, but the scrum-half saw his penalty strike the upright.
Ulster pinned Treviso back on the restart but rustiness from the three-week break was evident as unforced errors denied them a try.
Lewis Stevenson rumbled over from close range but it was ruled out for offside, although Treviso captain Antonio Pavenello was sinbinned for a deliberate knock-down in the move.
His second-row replacement Tomas Vallejos was also yellow-carded as Treviso infringements mounted.
The pressure finally told courtesy of a converted penalty try on the hour mark and Ulster could now target the bonus point.
Treviso finally registered a score with Joe Carlisle's penalty before Ulster added a third converted try as replacement McCloskey muscled over in the corner on 68 minutes.
It was quickly followed by the bonus-point try, with Gilroy finishing off a passing move on his 100th appearance for Ulster although Pienaar missed the conversion.
Treviso were visibly wilting and Ulster were taking full advantage as replacement Warwick charged over before Gilroy intercepted a pass before sprinting in for his second try.
Pienaar converted both tries as Ulster came away with a victory which leaves them level on points with the pacesetting Ospreys.
Ulster: Ludik, Gilroy, Cave, L. Marshall, Allen, Humphreys, Pienaar, Black, Herring, Herbst, Stevenson, van der Merwe, Wilson, McComish, Williams.
Replacements: McCloskey for L. Marshall (54), Warwick for Black (67), B. Ross for Herring (74), J. Andrew for Wilson (74), Diack for Williams (54). Not Used: C. Ross, P. Marshall, Nelson.

England were denied victory in an incredible finale to the first Test as Sri Lanka's last-wicket pair batted out the final five balls to cling on for a draw at Lord's.

In scenes of barely believable drama, umpire Paul Reiffel gave Nuwan Pradeep out lbw to apparently hand England victory off the penultimate ball.
But Sri Lanka used the decision review system to reveal an inside edge, and when an outside edge off the last ball landed inches short of second slip, the tourists had survived.
The result means the teams will head to the second and final Test at Headingley, starting on Friday, with the series all square.
"I've loved it and I bet the sparse crowd loved it. I felt Sri Lanka would get out of jail, but it was a great effort from England. They will feel a bit flat, but they gave nothing to feel embarrassed about. The four seamers did a terrific job. They really gave it their best shot."
The match appeared to be drifting towards a stalemate when Sri Lanka, chasing a notional 390 for victory, were 164-3 at tea.
But an amazing final session, in which six wickets fell for 37 runs in fading light, saw England to the cusp of a victory that would have banished the memories of their disastrous 5-0 Ashes whitewash in Australia.
James Anderson finished with figures of 4-25 off 19 overs, Broad 3-43 and Chris Jordan 2-34 to complete a hugely encouraging debut.
Anderson swung the match either side of tea with three wickets, including the prize scalps of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, in a devastating spell to reduce Sri Lanka to 170-5 with 31 overs remaining.
Jayawardene was caught behind for 18 in the over before the interval before Sangakkara, with fielders crowded round the bat as captain Alastair Cook went all-out attack, chopped on to his stumps for 61.
Four balls later, Lahiru Thirimanne prodded tentatively at a reverse-swinger and edged to Matt Prior to leave Sri Lanka five wickets down.
Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews and Prasanna Jayawardene - batting with a broken finger - appeared to take the sting out of the tourists with a partnership that spanned 20 overs.
The door was forced back open by the irrepressible Jordan, who trapped Jayawardene lbw to leave Sri Lanka six down.
12-16 June: 1st Test, Lord's, match drawn
20-24 June: 2nd Test, Headingley
England took the second new ball and the mayhem continued. Broad found Nuwan Kulasekara's pads, then Anderson drew an edge from Mathews that flew to slip with 18 balls left.
Sri Lanka's ninth-wicket pair rode out the next two overs, but Broad had Rangana Herath taken down the leg side with the first ball of the last over.
Four deliveries later, as Reiffel's finger went up, England were jumping around in elation, but when DRS revealed a thick inside edge, the joy was all Sri Lanka's.
The drama of the final session contrasted with the first two, during which England managed only three wickets after declaring on their overnight score of 267-8.
Broad's dismissal of Dimuth Karunaratne was England's only reward before lunch, while Jordan removed Kaushal Silva for 57 to end a 98-run stand with Sangakkara for the second wicket.
Mahela Jayawardene's departure on the stroke of tea sparked England's late charge, only for Sri Lanka to deny them at the last.
England were subsequently fined 10% of their match fees by the International Cricket Council for maintaining a slow over-rate, with captain Cook fined 20%.
They have named the same 12-man squad for the second final Test of the series beginning at Headingley on Friday.
