A complaint about the way Dumfries and Galloway Council dealt with planning applications for a coal bed methane development has been thrown out.

An opponent of the plans near Canonbie claimed a series of applications submitted between 2007 and 2009 should not have been considered individually.
She told the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO) they should have been considered a "major development".
The ombudsman did not uphold the complaint against the council.
The complaint was made by a woman referred to as Mrs C in the report by the SPSO.
She claimed that planning officers were "not sufficiently expert" to deal with the applications, which included the formation of a gas compressor station.
Mrs C also said the council did not ensure appropriate public consultation.
However, the ombudsman ruled in the council's favour.
The report said: "There was no evidence to suggest that the developments constituted a major development or that officers were not sufficiently expert to deal with the applications.
"All the planning applications had been publicly advertised and requirements for neighbour notification fulfilled."
A council spokesman said:  "It would be inappropriate for Dumfries and Galloway Council to comment through the media on an individual decision of the SPSO."


A charity has started using satellite tracking technology to help reduce the amount of litter in Snowdonia.

Volunteers from the Snowdonia Society are taking GPS devices out on their regular litter picks across the national park.
They are using them to record where the litter was found and to build up a computer map of the messiest areas.
These areas will then be targeted for more regular clean-ups.
Project officer Owain Thomas told BBC Radio Wales: "When you compare the amount of visitors that Snowdon has with other popular mountain areas in the UK, the amount of litter that accumulates is quite low.
"But there are certain hotspots in popular picnic lunch areas where you'll find the majority of the litter, and winds sometimes blow it around the mountain."
The GPS tracking device is a small gadget not much bigger than a person's thumb.  Each time a piece of litter is picked up, a button is clicked, and the device logs the location where the rubbish was found.
Helen Pye, warden with the Snowdonia National Park Authority welcomed the innovation.
She said: "Litter can be a problem in some areas.  We've found everything from tents and barbecues to 60 Euros in cash, a false nail and even a Coke can from the 1960s."


Michael Hefele's bizarre late equaliser denied Aston Villa a second straight win and maintained Huddersfield Town's unbeaten start to the league season.

Hefele chased down Pierluigi Gollini's clearance and the ball bounced off his back straight into the empty Villa net.
The hosts had been on course to win after Ross McCormack headed in his first Villa goal before half-time.
Rudy Gestede had chances to extend the lead, before Nahki Wells struck the post as Huddersfield rallied late on.
When McCormack headed in Jack Grealish's skimmed cross before half-time, Villa were good value for their lead on a emotional night for the club following the death of former player Dalian Atkinson.
Ashley Westwood had fired over from a corner early on, after Jordan Ayew's decent effort was saved.
Gestede should have made it 2-0 but Huddersfield more than matched the hosts after the break and Elias Kachunga almost scored from an overhead kick, before a combination of Hefele's persistence and hesitant Villa defending saw the German level in unusual circumstances.
The result left Huddersfield - who won at Newcastle on Saturday - level on points with leaders Brighton and Norwich in third, three points ahead of Villa.
Aston Villa manager Roberto Di Matteo:
"[Pierluigi Gollini] is obviously disappointed but he is a young keeper who will have to learn from this. You learn from your mistakes, they are experiences, but he is a very strong character as well.
"He wanted to kick it away and kicked it onto the opposition. There's plenty of space, (James) Chester blocked the Huddersfield player off nicely so there was plenty of space. When the keeper make a mistake it's usually a goal but he made some great saves as well.
"But I thought we played a magnificent first half with a lot of intensity and energy on the pitch. We had some good opportunities to score the second goal and kill the game off a little bit. It's something we need to improve to be able to win games."
Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner:
"It was a strange moment, when I brought him on I didn't have the picture of this goal in my head. At the end it was a typical Hef goal, he is a great character and has a fighting attitude.
"It's not easy for him at the moment because he has two strong competitors with [Mark] Hudson and [Christopher] Schindler but I'm very pleased for him.
"I explained to Nahki [Wells] why I didn't give him a start because, after he missed such a big part of pre-season, he is not able to recover in three days after the 65 minutes he played against Newcastle.
"I said to him he could make the difference when he comes on to the pitch. With a bit more luck he could have scored three goals. He'll become fitter and fitter and he will be the Nahki Wells we had last season."

The Munich Security Conference is at one and the same time an annual jamboree for senior officials and think-tankers and a place where former officials and corporate movers-and-shakers meet up.

But it also affords an opportunity for a whole series of behind the scenes bilateral meetings. And once every four years it is the place where Europe takes stock of a new US administration.
This year the meeting had added significance since the man in the White House, Donald Trump, is unlike any other president in living memory.
His supporters believe he is the man to overturn the "establishment" in Washington and to get things done.
His detractors believe he is unfit for high office, his erratic behaviour leading some even to question his mental state.
Remember this was a man who on the campaign trail described Nato as "obsolete" and who said that he would end the free ride that he believed many allies - especially in Europe - were taking at the American taxpayers' expense.
So this encounter in Munich was an opportunity for Nato allies to weigh up the new Trump team and to try to gauge the new administration's likely direction. Mr Trump sent his Vice-President Mike Pence to Munich to deliver a series of clearly worded messages.
Trump 'unwavering' in support for Nato allies, says Pence
What does Nato want from Trump?
And to avoid any doubt his new defence chief, General James Mattis, provided a warm-up act at Nato headquarters at the end of last week - and to ensure nobody mistakes the message Mr Pence himself will be heading to Brussels, the seat of Nato, once the Munich conference is over.
Mr Pence used his Munich speech to bring a message of reassurance from the new president. "The US," he said, strongly supports Nato and will be "unwavering in its commitment to the trans-Atlantic alliance" .
But with so few allies actually meeting the agreed target for defence spending, there was a warning too.
"Let me be clear on this point," he stressed, "the president of the United States expects our allies to keep their word to fulfil this commitment and for most that means the time has come to do more".
This statement was met with hesitant applause - an indication that many Europeans do not welcome being bullied by the Trump White House.
Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had emphasised that military spending alone was not the only measure of the Europeans' commitment to security.
She calmly - but pointedly - took issue with many of the Trump team's putative policies, noting the importance of international multilateral institutions like the EU and the UN (both of which have been condemned by Mr Trump).
Indeed at the end of her speech she seemed to take on the central tenet of the Trump campaign - enshrined in the slogan "America First!" Looking to the future she posed a fundamental question. "Will we be able," she asked, "to act in concert together or (will we) fall back into parochial policies?"
One of Europe's greatest fears has been Mr Trump's apparent willingness to do a deal with Moscow - not to mention his evident admiration for Russia's leader Vladimir Putin. Mr Trump's emissaries pretty much convinced their European hosts that on key issues - at least for now - there would be no change.
General Mattis insisted that Russia had to abide by international law and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, on a recent visit to Bonn, stressed that agreements like the Minsk accords to end the fighting in Ukraine had to be fully implemented by all sides - including Moscow.
Vice-President Pence emphasised the message saying here in Munich that the US would continue to hold Russia to account, even as it searched for areas of common ground.
The Russians have almost been bystanders here watching the internal Nato debate from the sidelines. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov returned to a familiar theme - that Nato was essentially an institution of the past. The expansion of the Atlantic Alliance, he said, had led to an unprecedented level of tensions. What was now needed was what he called a "post-western world order".
So there seems little chance here for President Trump's hope for fresh understanding with Moscow - or at the very least that it will not come at the expense of the European Nato allies, or perhaps even of Ukraine. If there is a deal to be done between Washington and Moscow it will lie elsewhere, perhaps over Syria.
This Munich conference will end on Sunday with many of the concerns of the Europeans only partially stilled. For they relate more to the character and outlook of the new US president himself.
One of his tweets can undermine policies that have received bipartisan support in Washington for decades. And its not just a style thing: many of Mr Trump's policies remain unclear, even as so many positions inside his team remain unfilled.


All diets - from Atkins to Weight Watchers - have similar results and people should simply pick the one they find easiest, say researchers.

The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, analysed data from 48 separate trials.
The Canadian team concluded that sticking to a diet was more important than the diet itself.
Obesity experts said all diets cut calories to a similar level, which may explain the results.
Diets go in and out of fashion on a regular basis, with a current debate around the relative benefits of low carb and low fat diets.
Scientists at McMaster University in Ontario and the Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute in Toronto analysed data from 7,286 overweight dieters.
The range of diets covered included, Atkins, South Beach, Zone, Biggest Loser, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Volumetrics, Weight Watchers, Ornish and Rosemary Conley.
It showed that after 12 months, people on low carbohydrate and low fat diets both lost an average of 7.3kg (16lb). Those on low carb meal plans had lost slightly more at the six-month marker.
The report said: "The differences [between diets] were small and unlikely to be important to those seeking weight loss."
It concluded: "Our findings should be reassuring to clinicians and the public that there is no need for a one-size-fits-Âall approach to dieting because many different diets appear to offer considerable weight loss benefits.
"Our findings suggest that patients may choose, among those associated with the largest weight loss, the diet that gives them the least challenges with adherence."
However, the study did not look at wider health issues, such as levels of cholesterol, which may vary according to diet.
Prof Susan Jebb, from the University of Oxford and a government advisor on obesity, said diets were more similar than they appeared, advocating cutting calories to 1,500 a day, sticking to strict meal times and avoiding biscuits, cakes and chocolate.
"The issue is about adherence and it's how closely and how long can you keep sticking to the plan over time that matters.
"That probably means finding the right diet for you, rather than one being so particularly better than the others."
She said people should try to match diets to their lives.
Vegetarians would struggle more with a high protein, low carb diet, while people living on their own may find liquid (instead of meals) diets easier than those who would still have to cook for a family.


Warrington Town made light of a 100-place gap between themselves and Exeter in the football pyramid to reach the FA Cup second round at Cantilever Park.

The Northern Premier Division One side, the lowest-ranked team in the FA Cup, were in the first round for the first time in their 64-year history.
Defender and plasterer Craig Robinson headed in the winner on seven minutes.
League Two Exeter's David Noble volleyed against the bar before Matt Grimes's shot was cleared off the line.

Warrington's part-time players were exhausted by the end but a mixture of brave defending, good goalkeeping and fortune meant the eighth-tier side celebrated a huge FA Cup upset, sparking a jubilant pitch invasion at the final whistle.
Manager Shaun Reid, brother of former England international Peter, said: "These boys deserve it. No one will want to come here in the next round.
"Everyone was a hero. They died for me."
Warrington's FA Cup run started on 30 August, when they beat Barton Town Old Boys in the preliminary qualifying round, and they progressed through five rounds to set up their meeting with Exeter.
The town, usually known for its love of rugby league, has experienced 'cup fever' in recent weeks, with their Cantilever Park sold out within three hours of the 2,500 tickets going on sale on Monday.

The Grecians, with just one league defeat in their last 11, have not progressed to the third round since losing in a replay to Manchester United in 2005 after holding the Premier League club to a goalless draw at Old Trafford.
They were victims of an upset in 2008 when they were knocked out in the first round by Curzon Ashton, a side who were at the same level as Warrington, and looked in trouble again when Robinson - younger brother of MK Dons boss Karl - headed in a David Mannix corner at the near post via a deflection.
Warrington did not let their higher league opponents have any time on the ball as Exeter struggled to create chances against a high-energy Town in the opening half.
Their part-time players tired as the match wore on, with Grimes and Liam Sercombe going close, but Exeter were unable to turn heavy pressure into a goal.
Match winner Robinson said: "I just can't believe it, I'm speechless. This is what I've dreamt about since the draw came out."
Exeter boss Paul Tisdale said: "There is no shame in it. I thought my team played quite well but I don't want to belittle Warrington. They scored the early goal, worked really hard and it's a great day for them. It hurts for us."

A play about the life and death of Motown legend Marvin Gaye is to have its world premiere in Northampton.

Roy Williams' Soul will open in May 2016 after several years' close collaboration with members of the singer's family.
Gaye, whose hits include Sexual Healing and Let's Get It On, was shot dead by his father in 1984.
"It's a dramatic thriller, not a musical," said James Dacre, the Royal & Derngate theatre's artistic director.
"It will have the spirit and energy of Motown and will include music from the time."
Williams' play will be set within the confines of the Los Angeles home that Gaye bought for his extended family.
"Whilst the piece looks at three generations of a post-war African American family, everything roots back to the home and what happened in the course of 18 days underneath that roof," Dacre told the BBC.
"It's a story that the world knows very well, but we hope that Roy's close access to so many of the people who were there gives him a unique perspective and will allow our audiences an unusual insight to what happened."
The Royal & Derngate's 2016 season also includes four new productions to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.
Peter Whelan's The Herbal Bed - opening in February - is about the life of William Shakespeare's daughter, and is the first revival of the playwright's work since his death last year.
In April, two-time Olivier nominee Michael Pennington will play King Lear with a cast of 14 actors ahead of a national tour.
That will be followed in May by an "anarchic and mischievous" play that compiles all 75 of Shakespeare's onstage deaths.
Spymonkey's The Complete Deaths, directed by Tim Crouch, includes everything from the bloodbath at the end of Hamlet to the poisonous asp in Antony and Cleopatra.
The Shakespeare mini-season concludes in June with a "fresh, abridged" musical theatre version of The Tempest by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, whose Ida won the Oscar for best foreign language film this year.
The play will be performed by a company of 18-25 year olds in a co-production with the National Youth Theatre.
Dacre said: "Northampton has long been known for its exports and we're thrilled that Royal & Derngate productions will tour to over 40 theatres across Britain next year in what is perhaps our most ambitious season yet."


A man has died and three others injured when the car they were travelling in hit a tree and caught fire.

The 22-year-old driver was trapped and died at the scene on Clay Lane in Hale, Greater Manchester at about 01:10 BST.
The passengers - two of whom are aged 21 and the other 25 - managed to escape from the car and were taken to hospital.
Greater Manchester Police said they were being treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Officers appealed for witnesses to the crash, involving a Ford Focus, near the junction of Canterbury Road.


Melanie C has said a Spice Girls reunion is "not the same" without all five former members of the band.

The singer, whose full name is Melanie Chisholm, told BBC News: "I describe the Spice Girls as a jigsaw puzzle.
"If there's a piece missing, it's not the full picture, we weren't just a band with interchangeable parts."
Earlier this year, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Horner announced plans to reunite to celebrate the group's 21st birthday.
Chisholm said: "Obviously I love the girls and totally respect what they want to go on to do, but to me, Spice Girls is a five-piece."
The singer recalled the band's previous performances in the late 1990s after Horner had left the band.
"When Geri left and we were on tour, obviously we didn't have a choice, we had to carry on, we had a tour to fulfil in the US," Chisholm said.
"And I don't think that was the same. Unless it's all five, I don't think it is [the same]."
Asked if she would have taken part in the recently announced reunion if Victoria Beckham had agreed, Chisholm replied: "Yeah, I would definitely consider it."
Chisholm's new album, Version of Me, is her first since 2012, but that certainly does not mean she has been taking things easy since then.
For a start, the singer was recruited by Simon Cowell to be a judge for the first two seasons of Asia's Got Talent.
"South East Asia is a part of the world I've worked in a lot, there's a huge fan base for the Spice Girls out there. It was a quiet time in the diary and it's quite good money," she joked. "So that ticks all the boxes."
Such singing competitions seem to be fertile ground for former girl-band members, with Nicole Scherzinger, Melanie Blatt and Cheryl Cole all being enlisted in recent years.
"I have been critical of those shows in the past, but becoming part of the Got Talent family, everyone who works on it really believes in it, and I think of all of those shows it's the kindest and most entertaining. So I had an absolute ball," Chisholm said.
But when asked whether she would consider taking up a judging role on a British talent show, her answer is telling.
"It would be a difficult decision to make because I quite enjoy having a much lower profile these days, and I think shows like that put you very much in the spotlight," she says.
"Strictly [Come Dancing] for example, people always say I should do Strictly, but it's so high profile and it gets you in the Daily Mail, and that makes me feel a bit nervous."
There is one TV programme, however, that her friend and fellow Jesus Christ Superstar cast member Chris Moyles suggested they could jointly appear on.
She said: "Chris lives round the corner from me, he's such a good friend, so generous.
"I was getting my kitchen done a couple of years ago and he was in LA, and he allowed me to house-sit.
"But there was a bit of crossover where we were living together for a week or two and we used to sit watching X Factor and saying, 'We should be on Gogglebox.'
"We are the odd couple, but we just get on."
But there will not be much time for relaxing in front of the TV anytime soon.
Chisholm's schedule is packed with interviews and gigs for now, as she gears up for the release of Version of Me.
"I've been more involved in every aspect of this album than albums in the past," she said.
This time around, in addition to some of her usual collaborators, Chisholm has worked with Sons of Sonix, a dance duo from south London.
"Working with them really opened my eyes... they're much more R&B, which I love and I've dabbled in," she said.
One of Chisholm's biggest solo hits was 2000's Never Be The Same Again, a song with a bluesy vibe and a guest rap from TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.
"It was kind of nice to revisit that style but with a more electronic and current sound. So that was fun, they do a lot of grime stuff, but they haven't got me rapping, which is good, believe me," Chisholm joked.
Asked whether there are any other musicians she'd like to duet with, Chisholm replied: "I'd love to work with Sia, I think that would be a really interesting collaboration.
"We are both women of a certain age," she laughs. "And she's such an incredible songwriter and vocalist."
The music industry has, of course, changed beyond all recognition between her debut, Northern Star, and her seventh album.
"There used to be a formula that worked, and it doesn't anymore," she laughed, "and there's so much more work to do with social media and online."
She added that the decline of the traditional physical album was one of the main differences between now and 20 years ago.
"As an artist, you've made this body of work and even the track-listing is painstaking to get it right," she said.
"When I was a kid, we saved up, went to Woolworths, bought your album, scrutinised the lyrics and the artwork, and it was such an exciting part of growing up. Kids don't do that now, it's not their world anymore."
Another big difference, she added, was how much more sexualised the industry had become.
"I wish some successful women were more courageous in not baring as much flesh," Chisholm said.
"When you're young and you look fabulous, of course, flaunt it. But I just think it's overkill, I really do."
As the interview drew to a close, there was still one crucial question that needed to be asked: at the age of 42, could Sporty Spice still do a back-flip?
"You know, I've not done for a while," she laughed, "but I'm sure I could, if I do a good warm-up."

Saudi Arabia's Prince Saud al-Faisal - who was the world's longest-serving foreign minister - has died aged 75.

There is no official word on the cause of death. The prince had had a number of surgeries in recent years.
He was the kingdom's foreign minister for 40 years, before retiring in April. Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi said the world had lost a "noble" diplomat.
Analysts say he was widely respected, and navigated through decades of turbulence in the Middle East.
He was regarded as the public face and voice of a country that preferred to conduct its diplomacy discreetly.
"Prince Saud al Faisal was a man of great humanity, compassion and wisdom," former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a statement. "He worked tirelessly for peace."
Saudi Foreign Ministry spokesman Osama Nugali said: "The eye tears, the heart saddens."
The son of King Faisal, Prince Saud was born in 1940, and was among the first generation to receive both a traditional and a Western education.
Prince Saud studied economics at Princeton University in the US in the 1960s.
In 1970, he became deputy governor of the former state-owned natural resources company, Petromin, and the following year was appointed deputy minister of petroleum and mineral resources.
He was was appointed foreign minister in 1975.


Jonny Gray has been named as the new captain of Glasgow Warriors.

The 21-year-old Scotland lock signed a new three-year contract this week and takes over from Al Kellock, who retired from rugby at the end of last season.
"It means a lot to have been given the opportunity to captain the club, following in the footsteps of an inspirational leader," said Gray.
"It's a very special day for me and my family and I'm really looking forward to leading the team."
Gray, who won his 19th cap in the World Cup quarter-final defeat by Australia last month, has played 40 games for Glasgow since joining in 2012.
"Jonny is someone who seeks out information and relishes taking on challenges," Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend told the club website.
"He did very well when he captained the side last season away to Connacht, in a difficult environment.
"Al became the captain at a young age and grew into the role to become an outstanding leader of men. Jonny will lead in his own way but already has the respect of the playing and coaching group by the way he conducts himself.
"The captain is one aspect of our leadership group and what excites me is that there are a number of leaders in our squad, setting standards, supporting and challenging their team-mates on a daily basis.
"It's great for Jonny that he knows he'll have the likes of Josh Strauss, Rob Harley, Peter Horne and Chris Fusaro supporting him."
Harley and veteran scrum-half Mike Blair have captained the Pro12 champions this season, with a host of players away on World Cup duty.


The price of gold has hit a new record price of $1,610 an ounce as debt worries in the US and Europe have intensified.

It climbed above $1,600 for the first time on Monday, capping a record-breaking rally of 11 days of gains.
Gold is considered a safe investment and usually gains at times of global economic uncertainty.
But Spanish and Italian bond yields eased and banking shares rose, reversing large falls seen on Monday.
Government borrowing costs are continuing to rise, though. A Spanish bond auction was oversubscribed, but the government was forced to offer sharply higher returns to sell 4.45bn euros (Â£3.9bn) of bonds.
On the 12-month bonds, the average rate soared to 3.7% from 2.7% at the last such auction on 14 June. For 18-month bonds, the yield was up to 3.9% from 3.3% last time.

Merkel casts doubt on Greek deal
Spain's borrowing costs increase
However, Italian and Spanish bond yields eased on Tuesday. The rate on Italian 10-year bonds fell to 5.7% having topped 6% on Monday, while the rate on the Spanish equivalent fell 0.15 percentage points to 6.12%.
On Monday, yields had risen in a sign that financial markets were sceptical that governments would be able to bring an end to the debt crisis.
European banking shares also rose on Tuesday, buoyed by the bond market and helped by a better performance from US bank shares late on Monday.
Shares in Lloyds Banking Group rose 4.1% in London, while French banks Societe Generale, Credit Agricole and BNP Paribas also rose by between 3.5% and 4.5%.
The record breaking gold price comes ahead of Thursday's summit of eurozone leaders in Brussels where they will once again try to contain the growing debt crisis.
Investors are concerned that Greece may default on its debt, and countries such as Italy and Spain, who are also struggling with high debt levels, will get pulled into the crisis.
"Gold hit another milestone... at $1,600 as investors lose confidence in the ability of politicians to get a grip with the debt problems weighing down on sentiment," said Michael Hewson from CMC Markets, a trading group.
"More advances look likely," he said.
As well as gold hitting a new record, silver also continued to climb, to above $40 an ounce, its highest price for two months.
US default?
Meanwhile in the US, politicians are struggling to reach an agreement on a deficit reduction plan in time to avoid a debt default before the deadline of 2 August.
There are also worries about the strength of the US economy and of the dollar.
Nicholas Brooks, the head of investment strategy at ETF Securities, told the BBC: "I think the concern is that if we see another round of so called quantitative easing, it's basically de-basing the US dollar. It's putting new dollars into the system and that of course makes investors concerned about holding on to US dollars.
"When they look at the alternative, the euro and the issues that are now affecting the euro, they look for alternatives and gold of course is one of the first places they go, along with other so-called hard commodities," he added.


The lower house of Japan's parliament has approved two controversial bills that change the country's security laws, despite protests in Tokyo.

The changes would allow Japanese troops to fight overseas for the first time since World War Two.
The bills still need approval from the upper house, but many expect them to eventually be passed into law.
The changes are unpopular and thousands demonstrated outside parliament on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has pushed for the two bills, arguing it is necessary to expand the role of the military in a doctrine called collective self-defence.
But polls show more than half of Japanese citizens oppose them.
Reacting to the passing of the bills, China's foreign affairs ministry spokesman Hua Chunying questioned if Japan was "abandoning its pacifist policies", and urged Japan to "stick to the path of peaceful development" and avoid harming the region's stability.
South Korea has similarly in the past urged Japan to "contribute to regional peace and security" and called for transparency in Japan's defence policy discussions.
Japan's post-World War Two constitution bars it from using force to resolve conflicts except in cases of self-defence.
Mr Abe's government has pushed for a change that would revise the laws such that Japan's military would be able to mobilise overseas when these three conditions are met:
What's behind Japan's military shift?
Most of the opposition lawmakers walked out of the lower house chamber in protest before the vote took place on Thursday, with only members of the small Japan Restoration Party voting against the bills.
Mr Abe's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition partners hold a two-thirds majority in the lower house, which is needed to approve bills.
The upper house, where the LDP and partners also hold a majority, now has 60 days to rule on the bills. Even if it rejects them, the bills would be sent back to the lower house which can then pass them into law.
China's People's Daily says the new bills, if passed into law, would become Japan's "historical shame". A front-page commentary accuses Japan of giving in to US pressure to do more for the US strategy of rebalancing Asian power, by playing a more active role in the US-Japan military alliance.
Beijing's Global Times says that Shinzo Abe, "drunk on his own 'ideals'", has miscalculated. "China is Japan's imaginary enemy, but fighting China is not a risk that Japan can bear... as China is capable of dealing Japan a fatal blow."
The official party paper in North Korea, Nodong Sinmun, sees more sinister motives. It says the bills are an attempt to turn Japan into a militarist state by stealth. "If Japan makes desperate efforts to reinvade other counties by invoking the war law, this will bring disasters to its people," it warns.
South Korea's foreign ministry, quoted by Yonhap news agency, says Japan should "stick to the spirit of the pacifist constitution".
But the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes says that the opposition is expected to launch legal challenges to rule the bills as unconstitutional.
Our correspondent says those in Japan who oppose the bills believe they break Japan's explicitly pacifist constitution and also distrust Mr Abe, who is known for his right-wing nationalist views.
Organisers of a large protest which took place outside parliament on Wednesday night said about 100,000 people showed up.
"I'm angry at both the new security bill and Prime Minister Abe. The bill is against Japan's constitution... Abe does not understand it," student Jinshiro Motoyama told the BBC.
Mr Abe first put the changes in motion last year when he sought to reinterpret Japan's pacifist constitution to allow the bills.


He may not have travelled as far as Paddington but this teddy bear is a long way from home.

The bear, which has 2004 written on his right foot, ended up at Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Health Board's laundry department in Llansamlet, Swansea.
It is thought he may have accidently been picked up at one of its hospitals during a linen change.
Now staff are trying to reunite him with his owner.

Robert Downey Jr is in talks to team up with True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto on a HBO project, according to reports.

Variety says it will be based on the Iron Man star's Perry Mason reboot, which he had been developing as a feature film at Warner Bros for several years.
It is thought it will be a short series, rather than a TV film.
1960s legal drama Perry Mason was one of TV's longest-running legal series.
The show, which starred Raymond Burr, was based on a character created by author Erle Stanley Gardner.
Mason is an unorthodox Los Angeles investigating criminal defence lawyer, and each episode focused on one client's murder trial.
Deadline report that the series could be ongoing with future seasons dependent on Downey Jr's availability.
There have been two series of True Detective - the first staring Matthew McConaughey was highly acclaimed but the second series disappointed critics.
It will be the first TV role for Downey Jr since comedy series Ally McBeal, starring Calista Flockhart, which he left in 2001.
He won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors' Guild award for his performance as Ally's boyfriend in the hit show, but left after he was arrested for drugs offences.
Downey Jr is currently filming Spider-Man: Homecoming, reprising his role of Tony Stark/Iron Man.
It has also been announced he will star in a third Sherlock Holmes film.

Gary Bowyer says Blackpool have been given a "kick up the backside" by an "embarrassing" loss to Grimsby Town.

Sam Jones scored twice to secure a 3-1 win for Grimsby - their first in five matches - and condemn play-off chasing Blackpool to back-to-back defeats.
The result followed a 1-0 loss to Luton, leaving Blackpool eighth, two points off the play-off places.
"We're in there fighting and we've got a right good chance of it and it's how we respond now," Bowyer, 45, said.
Before the two setbacks, Blackpool had put together a nine-game unbeaten run, which saw them climb the League Two table and offer hope of promotion.
Fortunately for Blackpool, the three sides immediately above them - Stevenage, Exeter City and Carlisle United - all also suffered defeats on Saturday and Bowyer is now hoping the loss to Grimsby can spur his side on for the final five matches.
"The goals [Blackpool conceded] were embarrassing," he told BBC Radio Lancashire. "They [the players] have had a kick up the backside and we've now got to regroup and go again because the results have been kind to us.
"We've got some work to do now, but we've got five good games left now to try to finish strongly and get something out of this season."
Blackpool face League Two's form side Accrington, who are on a 13-game unbeaten run, at home before a trip to promoted Doncaster Rovers.


Defender Paul Quinn has rejoined Ross County on an 18-month contract after agreeing his release from Aberdeen.

Quinn, 30, is available for Sunday's Scottish League Cup semi-final against Celtic.
He was on the bench in the Dons' third-round defeat by Hibernian but did not feature.
Following spells at Motherwell, Cardiff City and Doncaster Rovers, Quinn spent a season with County before joining Aberdeen last summer.
He has made more than 360 senior appearances and was capped by Scotland's Under-21 side earlier in his career.

A four-year-old boy died from "devastating" head injuries after an unstable shop mirror fell on top of him, an inquest has heard.

Austen Harrison was crushed by the furniture at the Hugo Boss shop in Bicester, Oxfordshire, in June 2013.
Oxford Coroner's Court heard the large mirror was not fixed to the wall and toppled over as Austen played with it.
He had emergency surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, but his life-support was turned off four days later.
Austen, from Turners Hill in Crawley, West Sussex, was with his parents, Simon and Irina Harrison, on 4 June.
In evidence read to an inquest jury by coroner Darren Salter, Mr Harrison said he had been trying on a number of suits in the shop.
The court heard Austen had been playing with the free-standing mirror, which had winged sections on either side attached by hinges.
Mr Harrison said he was not concerned for his son's safety because he "couldn't think of any reason why such a large mirror wouldn't be fixed to the wall".
He said he and his wife heard an extremely loud bang, "as if something had fallen over", and someone gasped.
"I instantly knew Austen was lying underneath it, as it was not lying flat on the floor," he said.
Mr Harrison lifted the mirror from his son, who was lying motionless.
He said Austen had been lying "face-up with his legs straight out and his arms by his side".
Austen was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and underwent emergency surgery for swelling to his brain.
Doctors told his family Austen would never recover from the "irreversible" brain damage.
His life-support was switched off and he died at 05:45 BST on 8 June.
The inquest continues.


A science teacher who took legal highs with a student and watched as another one took Viagra has been banned from teaching for life.

Robert Roskelly, 33, a teacher at Winstanley Community College, Leicester, also admitted staying the night at a pupil's house.
The National College for Teaching and Leadership found him guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
He was banned from teaching indefinitely.
Live updates and more from Leicestershire
A professional conduct panel heard the teacher held fitness classes at the school during the summer break during which some of the boys "danced topless".
He also had several students and former students as friends on Facebook despite being warned by the head teacher this was not acceptable.
The panel heard the teacher sat on the bed of a pupil while the boy was standing on the floor dressed only in underpants.
Mr Roskelly also admitted taking drugs with a 15-year-old pupil, including mephedrone and legal highs.
Although he did not attend the hearing, his representative said he had regretted his "poor decisions" and "poor choices" relating to drug use.
He also said he was "deeply disappointed" with his choices and conduct.
The school first received a complaint about Mr Roskelly in 2012 and he resigned in December 2014.
He has the right to appeal the case to the High Court.


A closure-threatened centre offering care services for women with mental health problems in Norfolk, has been saved, the BBC has been told.

Last month, it was revealed the county council hoped to save money by not renewing its contract for seven beds at the Ashcroft Centre, Wicklewood.
But after an outcry by supporters of the centre, negotiations restarted.
A compromise has now been agreed by the council and Julian Support, which runs the centre, to keep the centre open.
The county council had said it would not accept a weekly rate of £650 per person at the centre and would only pay £593.
Ben Curran, head of operations at Julian Support, praised the public support for the centre - which saw an online petition against its closure signed by more than 3,000 people.
"The response has been absolutely fantastic. There was a really strong call from service users to maintain the service," he said.
Mr Curran said the service would be slightly reduced, providing seven beds for extended use (about six months) and one for respite care (one to two days).
Currently, the centre provides 14 beds.
"We have reached a compromise [on fees charged to council] that will allow us to provide a safe service," he said.
"It is really good news. It does mean changes. But the key thing is we continue to provide the service."
A spokesman for Norfolk County Council said: "We both recognise that Ashcroft is a valuable service that provides very specific support to a number of vulnerable women.
"Julian Support has been able to identify ways to reduce their costs and the council has increased its funding offer to a level which Julian Support believe would enable them to continue providing a safe and good quality level of care."


Scientists are studying the urban life of bats in unprecedented detail using sensors installed in a London park.

The detectors eavesdrop on the nocturnal chatter of bats, picking up their ultrasonic calls and monitoring bat activity in real-time.
The project aims to investigate the health of bat populations at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.
The smart devices have the potential to monitor the diversity of all sorts of wildlife, from birds to frogs.
Kate Jones, professor of ecology and biodiversity at University College London, is one of the world's leading experts in bat conservation.
"We've created this 'Shazam' for bat activity - bat calls - so we have put sensors into the park, which are connected up to the Wi-Fi and power," she explained.
"And we've put an intelligent device into the sensors so that they can pick up ultrasonic bat calls and then tell us if it's a bat and what species it is in real time."
In what the researchers describe as a living lab, or Internet of Wild Things, smart bat sensors have been installed at 15 sites across the park. The monitors are automatically tracking the species present and their activity levels in real-time.
"Every time a bat's call is detected by one of the boxes, the machine learning algorithms first of all look to see whether it is a bat and if they think it is then another process then looks to see what species of bat that might be," said Dr Sarah Gallacher from Intel Labs Europe.
"And all this information is then passed out through the network to the cloud. We are deploying it and testing it in the real world in the wild, so we are calibrating and trying to understand how this technology and network works while it's in a very public space."
The technology is based on a deep neural network that runs on a chip. Dr Gabriel Brostow leads the team of computer scientists at UCL who worked on the platform.
"We teach this function to do the right mapping by giving it lots of examples," he said.
"So, in this case we had lots of audio files that were labelled by volunteers and bat experts who were able to tell us when a bit of an audio file corresponded to a bat call.
"And so we took those examples and we fed them into these machine learning systems - in this case neural networks - which were then tuned and adjusted so that eventually the system could do that kind of mapping automatically."
The project aims to find out more about the diversity of bats in the park, from the UK's smallest bat, the common pipistrelle, to the largest bat, the noctule. In the future, the technology could be adapted to monitor other wildlife in the park - such as birds.
"Our vision is that we could start using these smart devices in the wild," said Prof Jones.
"So, smart sensors, Internet of Things, is very common in your house to monitor temperature and your heating schedule but what we've done here is a smart sensor in the wild.
"I think that our platform can start to monitor in a much more fine-scale way the biodiversity on our planet. "
The trial runs in the park until the end of the year. Eventually, all the data will be released - not only on bat biodiversity but on the science behind the experiment. So, in theory, you could even build your own bat detector for your garden.

Former England boss Steve McClaren believes English managers are hampered by an image problem.

It is 25 years since an Englishman won the top-flight title, when Howard Wilkinson led Leeds to the old First Division championship.
There are currently six English managers in the Premier League.
"I think in the past we've made mistakes and been labelled," McClaren, who won the Dutch league with FC Twente in 2009-10, told BBC Sport.
"I asked the Dutch coaches about the English and British coaches. They're not respected, have a bad image. They think we have an island mentality, we only know English and stick with that, we won't learn other languages.
"They feel we're rigid in our play, 4-4-2, not adaptable, not flexible, very direct.
"They only thing they really admired was our attitude and fight. But I think it takes more than that to win a championship."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has given his backing to English managers, suggesting it would not be another 25 years before one won the Premier League.
McClaren is less confident but does at least believe processes are now in place to help them develop.
"When you look now you can't see it happening for another 25 years, but I know what's going on behind the scenes," said McClaren.
"Coaching has become a bigger profession, more respected in this country. I think we are developing.
"Twenty-five years ago our players weren't very good technically or tactically, mentality-wise and physically we were very good.
"The players now are technically far better. Intelligence-wise, tactically, that's where they need to improve."
McClaren was assistant manager at Derby, Manchester United and England before being named Middlesbrough boss in 2001.
Over five years, he kept Boro in the Premier League, won the League Cup in 2004 and reached the final of the Uefa Cup in 2006 before replacing Sven-Goran Eriksson for an ill-fated stint as England boss, which ended with failure to reach Euro 2008.
"My breakthrough was winning that first trophy and going on from that," said McClaren.
"That's what's some English manager has to do, win an FA cup or a League Cup and therefore prove his worth. They also need to get a good agent to get in contact with these new foreign owners coming in.
"I can see English managers coming through. Whether or not they're given an opportunity is a different question."
Since the Premier League began in 1992-93, nine managers have won the title - Scots Alex Ferguson (13) and Kenny Dalglish (1), Frenchman Arsene Wenger (3), Portuguese Jose Mourinho (3), Chilean Manuel Pellegrini (1) and Italians Carlo Ancelotti (1), Roberto Mancini (1) and Claudio Ranieri (1).
Antonio Conte will become the fourth Italian to win the championship if Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Friday.
"Conte, Mourinho, Wenger are winners, they collect trophies and they're always going to do that," McClaren told BBC Radio 5 live.
"[But] I don't think Conte could have kept Sunderland up.
"I don't think he could have coached them the way he did and he would have [had] to adapt. "


India's top court has ordered all liquor shops to shut down along state and national highways in an attempt to reduce drink driving and road accidents.

The court told the government to stop issuing new licences and renewing existing ones after 31 March.
More than 146,000 people died last year in traffic accidents in the country.
About 5% - or 6,755 - deaths were caused by drivers who had either been drunk or had taken drugs.
Can India really halve its road deaths?

"(There should be) no liquor vends on national and state highways," AFP news agency quoted Chief Justice TS Thakur, who headed the three-judge bench, as saying in his order on Thursday.
The court also said that all liquor advertisements should be removed from the highways and shops selling alcohol must be located at least 500 metres (1,640 feet) away from them.
Campaigners say the large number of liquor shops located along the highways are "a great temptation and a distraction for road users".
Alcohol is banned in four Indian states (Gujarat, Bihar, Manipur and Nagaland) and the union territory of Lakshadweep. There's a partial ban on sale of alcohol in the southern state of Kerala.


Technology titan Bill Gates has been listed by Forbes magazine as the wealthiest American for the 19th year in a row, with a fortune of $66bn (Â£41bn), up $7bn from last year.

There was no change in the order of the top five richest from a year earlier.
The total wealth of the US super-rich grew 13% to $1.7tn, with the top 400 worth an average $400m more in 2012.
The group's assets are worth as much as one eighth of the US economy, and grew much faster than the economy at large.
According to the Forbes 400 list of the richest people in America, the average net worth of a person on the list was $4.2bn.
In second place with a fortune of $46bn was investment guru Warren Buffett, who is chairman and chief executive of the insurance conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway.
He was followed by Larry Ellison, head of software maker Oracle Corp, worth $41bn.
David and Charles Koch of the energy and chemical business group Koch Industries were tied in fourth place with $31bn.
The majority of those on Forbes' list became richer in 2012. Two hundred and forty-one members of the group saw their wealth increase, while just 66 saw it shrink.
Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and financier George Soros dropped from the ranks of the top 10 into 12th place compared with a year ago.
But the biggest drop was seen by Facebook founder and chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, who fell from 14th to 36th place in the wake of a disappointing stock market listing of his company.
He lost nearly half his fortune, which is now worth an estimated $9.4bn.
Four members of one family - the heirs to the Walmart fortune - are in the top 10.
Here is the Forbes list:


Forfar Athletic maintained their one-point lead at the top of Scottish League Two after beating Clyde 3-0.

Montrose replaced Elgin City in the promotion play-off places after a 1-0 win away to Berwick Rangers.
Elgin were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Stirling Albion.
Cowdenbeath remain three points adrift at the bottom after losing 2-1 at home to second-placed Arbroath while Edinburgh City are safe after beating Annan Athletic 2-0.
Last season's Lowland League winners Edinburgh won promotion to the Scottish Professional Football League after winning last season's League Two play-off final.
Former Scotland striker Craig Beattie fired the capital side in front against Annan and set up Lewis Allan for their second.
Both teams had players sent off in stoppage time, Annan's Darren Ramsay dismissed for serious foul play and City's Chris McKee picking up a second booking.
Headers from Danny Denholm, David Cox and Thomas O'Brien gave Forfar a comfortable win and left Clyde three points off bottom and above Berwick on goal difference.
Berwick fell behind to Chris Templeman's strike and could not recover.
Stirling were 2-0 up against Elgin, Darren Smith and Dylan Bikey netting, but Jamie Reid and Archie MacPhee replied for the hosts.
Shots from Steven Doris and Ryan McCord put Arbroath in control against Cowden, who pulled one back through Scott Rumsby's header.


Wrexham have put striker Andy Morrell in temporary charge following the departure of Dean Saunders.

Saunders has left Wrexham after three years to succeed Sean O'Driscoll at Doncaster Rovers.
Morrell will be in charge for Saturday's Blue Square Bet Premier game at Grimsby.
"I spoke to the directors on arriving at Colliers Park this morning and they have asked if I would take on the first team affairs," said Morrell.
Doncaster-born Morrell is in his second spell at the Racecourse after being re-signed by Saunders in June 2010.
The 35-year-old had originally joined the north Wales club from non-league side Newcastle Blue Star in 1998.
Morrell left the Racecourse to join Coventry City on a free transfer in 2003 before spells with Blackpool and Bury.
"I'm only too happy to help out," Morrell told Wrexham's official website.
"It's come a little bit earlier than I was planning but you can't turn down such an opportunity, they don't arise too often
"I feel I still have plenty to offer as a player and this will also allow me to see what life is like on the other side of the fence."
Morrell will be assisted by coaches Brian Carey and Michael Oakes for Saturday's trip to Grimsby Town.
Morrell scored a record seven goals for Wrexham in a FAW Premier Cup tie against Merthyr Tydfil
Saunders succeeded Brian Little as Dragons boss in October 2008 but Morrell said the job at Doncaster was one which the former Wales striker could not refuse.
"Personally I can only wish him well at Doncaster and thank him for all the help he has given me," said Morrell.
"But it's fantastic for him to get such an opportunity and it also reflects well on our club. "


The NHS is to impose its own "sugar tax" in hospitals and health centres in England to help tackle the growing problem of obesity, its head has said.

Chief executive Simon Stevens told the Guardian newspaper he was proposing a 20% tax on all sugary drinks and foods in NHS cafes to be introduced by 2020.
He said the NHS's 1.3 million staff had a "responsibility" to lead by example, and urged MPs to take similar action.
David Cameron has said he would not rule out a national sugar tax.
How much sugar is hiding in your food?
Analysis: Can we trust the sugar industry?
It is expected the NHS levy, which would initially only apply to sugary drinks, could raise Â£20m-Â£40m a year, Mr Stevens said.
It is hoped the tax would discourage staff, patients and visitors from buying sugary items, while the money raised would be used to improve the health of the NHS's large workforce, he said.
It would be the first public body in Britain to impose a sugar tax.
The Welsh government and the Northern Ireland executive said there were no plans for a similar measure in their respective NHS facilities.
Mr Stevens said: "Because of the role that the NHS occupies in national life, all of us working in the NHS have a responsibility not just to support those who look after patients, but also to draw attention to and make the case for some of the wider changes that will actually improve the health of this country.
"It's not just the well-being of people in this country and our children. But it's also the sustainability of the NHS itself," he added.
Bosses would consult on introducing the tax, which would be gradually enforced as catering and hospital shop contracts come up for renewal over the next three to five years.
The NHS levy would be linked to the government's forthcoming national childhood obesity strategy.
The campaign group, Action on Sugar, welcomed the idea - saying it had been a long-time coming.
However, free market think tank the Institute of Economic Affairs said the idea was "ineffective, but also unfair".
Head of lifestyle economics Chris Snowdon said: "Taxing soft drinks, no matter where they are purchased, hits the poorest hardest and has never been shown to reduce obesity anywhere in the world.
The proposal comes days after David Cameron signalled that he was prepared to drop his opposition to a sugar tax. Number 10 previously said the prime minister "doesn't see a need for a tax on sugar".
Mr Cameron told journalists it would be better not to have to resort to new taxes but said that "what matters is we do make progress" on obesity.
In October a report by Public Health England recommended a tax of between 10 and 20% on high-sugar products as one of the measures needed to achieve a "meaningful" reduction in sugar consumption.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has also campaigned for such a move, while a new study in the British Medical Journal said Mexico's sugary drinks tax led to a 12% reduction in sales.
Ian Wright of the Food and Drink Federation, said it was puzzling that Mr Stevens has chosen to pre-empt the launch of Government's comprehensive obesity strategy, by announcing plans for new taxes.
"Public Health England acknowledges that there is a lack of evidence about the long-term effectiveness of additional taxes on food and drink. We can only assume, therefore, that today's announcement is driven more by the need to raise money than by any wish to change behaviours."
Why is sugar so addictive?


The Tories have announced a key new detail in how their proposed energy price cap would work.

It will be an "absolute" cap, based on the way limits for pre-payment meters have worked since the beginning of April.
The party has rejected the idea of a relative cap, which would limit the difference between the cheapest fixed-price deal and the more expensive Standard Variable Tariff (SVT) to, say, 6%.
That model was particularly controversial, as critics said suppliers would simply increase the price of fixed-rate deals, to maintain the differential with SVTs.
The idea of any form of capping was rejected by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) last summer.
However, when it issued its final report, the CMA admitted its members were divided on the issue.
If the Conservatives win the election, the regulator Ofgem would be asked to introduce a price cap along the lines of one introduced in April to cap prices on households with pre-payment meters.
Currently 16% of consumers are forced to buy their energy in advance, usually because their credit rating is poor.
The CMA ordered a cap on their charges because such households do not benefit from the competition that exists for all other consumers.
Under this system, the CMA has come up with an initial maximum figure for prices in each region of the UK, usually in line with the cheapest existing pre-payment meter tariff.
That number is adjusted every six months, taking into account wholesale energy costs, inflation, environmental obligations and the cost of transporting energy around the network.
But the CMA has always stressed that the pre-payment meter cap is temporary. By the time every home has a smart meters installed, it expects competition between suppliers to be working properly. As a result this cap is due to expire in 2020.
The cap is also designed to allow suppliers to price below the level of the cap if they want to.
However, critics say that suppliers would be likely to increase their prices up to the level of the cap.
"In New Zealand, a price cap resulted in price bunching up around the cap, and a loss of competition," said Iain Conn, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica.
He also said that a cap in Spain resulted in a shortfall in infrastructure spending, which had to be plugged by the government.
An absolute cap would be fundamentally different to the controls advocated by Labour leader Ed Miliband in the run-up to the 2015 election.
He had proposed a price freeze for just 20 months. As far as we know, the Tory cap would be permanent.
Consumer groups are generally opposed to the idea of any sort of cap, as it would tend to give consumers a false sense of security.
Householders might think they are getting a good deal, so would make even less effort to switch suppliers.
"They're really difficult to get to work in practice," says Richard Neudegg, head of regulation at comparison site Uswitch.
He also believes that a cap would create higher prices in the long term, and entrench the position of the big six suppliers.
At the end of its two-year enquiry the CMA rejected the idea of a price cap on standard variable tariffs, saying that a cap would run an "excessive risk" of undermining the competition process.
Nevertheless the economist Martin Cave, a member of the enquiry, argued that a broader cap was necessary "to address the scale of detriment" because millions of the poorest consumers are still paying too much for their gas and electricity.
In December 2016 Ofgem said that 66% of consumers were still on expensive SVTs, and paying up to Â£260 a year too much.
Since then, five of the big six suppliers have announced plans to raise their SVT prices, or have already done so.
There is also some evidence that fixed-price deals have also risen, closing the gap with SVTs.
But whether that is because of increasing wholesale costs - or because suppliers have been acting to mitigate the effects of a cap in advance - is hard to determine.
While Ofgem has repeatedly said there was no justification for them doing so, it has so far refused to comment on the Conservative idea of a cap.


US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has told Congress that the US economy is "close to faltering" and more action may be needed.

Giving testimony to the US legislature, he said the Fed was "prepared to take further action as appropriate" to bolster the recovery.
His comments come after the Fed already decided to shift $400bn of investments into longer-term government debt.
Stock markets responded positively, with the Dow Jones rallying over 1%.
But US markets fell back again somewhat in afternoon trading, until a strong late rally just before the close, which left the Dow Jones Industrial Average uip 1.4% for the day.
He said the switch into longer-term government debt announced last month - dubbed Operation Twist - was the equivalent of a half-percentage-point cut in interest rates, and gave a "meaningful, but not an enormous support to the economy".
But he warned that the eurozone debt crisis, as well as overly hasty spending cuts by the federal government, risked undermining the US recovery.
When asked what additional action the Fed might take if the economy continued to weaken, he reiterated policy options he has laid out in past speeches:
But he added that the US central bank's monetary policies were "no panacea".
The Fed chairman also appeared to lend support to those seeking to take action against China's policy of buying up US debts - which has the effect of holding down the value of the yuan at a more competitive exchange rate.
"Chinese policy is blocking what might be a more normal recovery process in the global economy," said Mr Bernanke, who said China was shifting demand away from the struggling US and European economies.
The US Senate has just begun a week-long debate on a bill that would threaten China, and other countries accused of keeping their currencies unfairly cheap, with trade sanctions.
On the subject of the eurozone debt crisis, Mr Bernanke said there was little help the US could offer.
"The problems are not really economic, they're political," he said. "Because what they are trying to do is find solutions that are acceptable to 17 different countries, which you can imagine is very difficult."
He said that the US was an "innocent bystander" to the crisis, and while the country's direct exposure to any debt default by Greece was limited, the real risk was that a disorderly default could trigger a run on other eurozone governments and a banking crisis, which would hit the US badly.


Chris Smalling has revealed how Louis van Gaal helped turn him into England manager Roy Hodgson's first-choice central defender for Euro 2016.

Van Gaal was sacked by Manchester United and replaced by Jose Mourinho after winning the FA Cup but failing to qualify for the Champions League.
The Dutchman was heavily criticised during his two-year Old Trafford reign.
But Smalling, 26, leapt to Van Gaal's defence at England's training base in Chantilly.
He said his erstwhile club manager's desire for defensive organisation will help him when England's Euro 2016 campaign opens against Russia in Marseille on Saturday.
Smalling, whose England place is assured alongside either Gary Cahill or John Stones, said: "Louis is very tactically aware.
"Despite the ups and downs of the season, I think on the whole we as a team were very solid. We didn't concede too many goals. That's something he implemented.
"He really drilled us from the front to the back in terms of how we move, how we shift, and that's helped me because that's a large part of my game."

Russia's main aerial threat will come from 6ft 5in striker Zenit St Petersburg striker Artem Dzyuba, who scored eight goals in qualifying.
Smalling said: "We have been watching videos. He is a big guy and it will be a physical battle. Picking up second balls is crucial and not letting him dictate and bring the ball down on his chest.
"Our central defenders will have to be very physical and aggressive against him. As defenders in the Premier League, we are used to big guys and those challenges and it's something we enjoy as centre backs."
Former top-flight referee David Elleray has addressed England's squad about areas in which they may be punished in France, away from the more physical environment of the Premier League.
And Smalling is hoping to put the lessons into action and not fall foul of referees.
He said: "David came in and explained a lot of things that we may or not get away with in the Premier League compared to here now so we get some idea.
"I think in the Premier League you maybe do one or two fouls before a booking comes, whereas here they may clamp down sooner. It is tiny little things like that, not things that will distract away from how we normally play, and individually play."
Smalling is aware that some of the wrestling in the box that is accepted in England may not be ignored in France.
"It is a very hard job for referees to gauge what goes on, defending and attacking, because so much does go on," said Smalling.
"You do need to be careful, because you don't want something like that to be a turning factor in the game."

Cameroon coach Hugo Broos wants Joel Matip to return to the national team after the Africa Cup of Nations.

Matip rejected the call-up to play in Gabon to focus on Liverpool instead.
"I hope he'll change his mind and we'll see him in the next game (after the Nations Cup) because he's a fantastic player," Broos told BBC Sport.
Fifa rules state a player may be blocked from featuring for his club if he refuses to play for his country but on Friday Matip was cleared to play.
Broos added: "I'm very happy that this problem is solved and he can play again for Liverpool and I hope, really I hope, that he's thinking again why shouldn't I play with Cameroon.
"I think everyone is free to make a decision and he made the decision not to come with us here for the Nations Cup.
"I respect his decision but I also think the Cameroon Federation had to do what it has done because they are the Fifa rules and it's too easy to say no, I don't come.
"But this problem is solved now, for me there is no problem anymore and I still hope, as I have done since I was coach of Cameroon, that he will come back and play with us again."
Matip has not played for Cameroon since 2015 and was not included in their final 23-man squad for the tournament.
Cameroon are top of Group A and need only a point from their last group match against hosts Gabon on Sunday to book their place in the quarter-finals.


Iraqi forces have moved deeper into Ramadi, pressing an offensive to drive Islamic State militants from the city.

Bombs and booby traps have been slowing their advance, army officials say.
Troops and Sunni tribal fighters were about 500m (550 yards) from the main local government office.
They have taken control of several districts since launching the operation five days ago. The mainly Sunni Arab city, about 55 miles (90km) west of Baghdad, was captured by IS in May.
Its fall was seen as an embarrassing defeat for the army.
Iraqi officials say troops have managed to enter Haouz area - one of the most important IS strongholds in the centre of Ramadi that includes the main offices of the Anbar province administration and the police directorate.
Joint operations command spokesman Brig Yahya Rasool told Reuters news agency US-led coalition air strikes "helped detonate explosive devices and booby-trapped houses, facilitating our advance".
A police captain, Ahmed al-Dulaimi, spoke of "fierce battles" that had killed many IS militants.
At the launch of the operation on Tuesday, the Iraqi army said it expected up to 300 militants inside the city centre to be dislodged within days.
But there is concern for the civilians they have reportedly taken prisoner.
Sources in Ramadi said on Tuesday that the jihadists had carried out raids and mass arrests in an attempt to prevent an uprising in support of the government offensive by the thousands of people living in districts under their control.
The operation to recapture Ramadi, which began in early November, has made slow progress, mainly because the government has chosen not to use the powerful Shia-dominated paramilitary force that helped it regain the northern city of Tikrit to avoid increasing sectarian tensions.
IS has lost control of several key towns in Iraq to government and Kurdish forces since over-running large swathes of the country's west and north in June 2014 and proclaiming the creation of a "caliphate" that also extended into neighbouring Syria.
A notoriously violent Islamist group which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq. It has declared its territory a caliphate - a state governed in accordance with Islamic law - under its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
IS demands allegiance from all Muslims, rejects national borders and seeks to expand its territory. It adheres to its own extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam and regards non-believers as deserving of death.
IS projects a powerful image, partly through propaganda and sheer brutality, and is the world's richest insurgent group. It has about 30,000 fighters but is facing daily bombing by a US-led multinational coalition which has vowed to destroy it.

Concerns about easy access to pornography, an over-sexualised culture and low self-esteem and body image were voiced repeatedly at teacher union conferences this Easter.

Teachers said they were worried about pupils growing up in a culture where pornographic images were widely available and teenagers felt pressured to have a "perfect" body.
So what is the best way forward for protecting the young and also educating children and young people about the dangers they may face? The BBC News website has gathered a range of viewpoints.
Having heard of a 13-year-old girl taking part in an amateur porn video, I felt sickened and moved to ask for more research on this issue and more guidance and training for teachers, so that we can help to educate youngsters about the consequences of viewing so much porn. They cannot foresee these consequences for themselves.
I think lessons about the dangerous consequences of viewing porn, sexting etc should be part of the sex and relationship education (SRE) curriculum. Teachers will need to be well trained and provided with appropriate resources to deliver such lessons effectively. It may also be necessary to alert younger children (10-11 years) about some of these dangers. This would need to be handled very sensitively and again, more research and teacher training is required.
It would be wonderful if we could limit the viewing of porn by young people, however, it is very unlikely that we will ever be able to stop it. We must ensure that we educate our children about the dangers and consequences of viewing porn, so that they can make sensible decisions for themselves.
Pupils 'should learn risks of porn'
I also think  lessons on body image and well-being should be included as part of the personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum. We suggest at least one one-hour lesson each year.
This education should start young and certainly by the age of eight or nine and continue until at least 16. These lessons should aim to shift the focus from idealized body image to healthy bodies that are fit-for-purpose.
So healthy diet and appropriate exercise are important, but everyone should be encouraged to feel proud of their body whatever their shape/size/colour/proportions.
Schools must also implement measures to raise self esteem for all pupils. Central YMCA Qualifications have developed a suite of three qualifications in personal well-being and  body image. It is hoped that more secondary schools will offer these to pupils.
BBC School Report
Lizzie, aged 15: The media should use more plus-size models. That would help young people - especially girls - feel better about themselves. The media shouldn't give out this image that people have perfect bodies, perfect skin, perfect hair all the time.  I think there's a responsibility on parents to monitor their children's use on the computer, but then they still have phones and iPods and other devices, so there's only so much that can be done.
I don't think the dangers of sexting are clear enough to young people. I think lots of young people think it's just for fun and there's a really dangerous side to it.
Ellie, aged 15: When I go on Facebook, you see so many pictures of people and it makes me feel more pressured to make myself look nice. There are "likes" on pictures, so if someone has 1,000 "likes" on their picture and you don't, it makes you feel a bit more pressured to get more! But I don't think much can be done about it, to be honest.
They should stop having Page Three girls in the newspapers - it's basically giving people really easy access to it so they don't even have to go out of their way, and that's wrong. If people want to find pornography they can do, but making it so easy with Page Three isn't helping.
I do think that teachers and schools could do more. They can't control what anyone does outside of school, but if they ran assemblies on it or something like that so we understand the dangers.
Ben, aged 15:   I think porn is a bigger problem now, because it's pretty much everywhere. If anyone wants to have a look at something, they can just google it. But I don't think there's much you can do about it - the internet is such a big thing, and you can't shut it down.
Life moves on very quickly, sometimes the technology outpaces the children and young people's ability - and parents' ability - to understand what the issues are. So if a child sends a self-generated picture and sends it to a boyfriend, they might be unaware of the potential consequences of that at the time.
Parents find it difficult to talk about these topics. Sometimes technology becomes an excuse not to talk about these difficult topics. If we can encourage children and young people to talk to their parents, they're the ones who can do something about it.
Teachers  need to be aware of the issues and that's quite an education as the ball moves fast and children are very fast at picking up this technology. Most schools will make attempts to deal with these issues, but often it can become a tick-box exercise.
It really needs someone who will engage with it. Schools need to engage with parents - they can hold open evenings where they get someone in from industry to talk to parents and explain the potential hazards out there and how they can protect their children.
But you can't just say to people it's down to the teachers or the parents to deal with the problems - everyone has to take responsibility. So, for example, parental controls need to be easy for people to use - quite often they're not, they need to be more family-friendly, easier to turn on.
Bailey Review
But the trouble with them is that they can give parents a false sense of security. Really the best filter is emotionally resilient children who know what is and isn't appropriate material to look at and engage with.
Children and young people are much more aware of these things than we realise, but they need our help to steer their way through it. I would encourage parents not to shy away from it, but to deal with it.
You could get very depressed about it all, but I'm optimistic because we can make a difference. We need goodwill from industry, parents need to feel more confident and children need to be emotionally resilient.
In 2011, Reg Bailey, author of the Bailey review of the commercialisation and sexualisation of childhood, described an increasingly "sexualised" wallpaper surrounding children and called on businesses and the media to play their part in taking positive measures to prevent this from continuing.
Just under two years later and, whilst we've seen great progress in this area, there is still work to be done.
Parents, teachers, politicians and industry all have a role to play.  Teachers and parents can help children to navigate a complicated landscape armed with the relevant resources, tools and support from industry bodies and government.
CIM works with its members to ensure they understand their responsibility as marketing professionals and the impact their business decisions have on consumers and society. We believe that by looking at the marketing decisions which lead to the creation of these inappropriate adverts and products, we can help treat some of the causes of the problem, and not just the symptoms.
Almost every parent we speak with on Netmums is concerned and worries that their child is growing up far too fast. A recent Netmums study found 89% of parents agree modern children are under much more pressure and grow up far faster than previous generations.
Over half say their child believes body image and appearance is the most important thing about someone, which is a shocking reflection on what modern society values. Almost a third also said their child was being sexualized too early and felt pushed into being interested in sex before they were ready.
Clearly something is going badly wrong with childhood but it is hard for parents to tackle, as there is no single cause. Rather there is a toxic combination of marketing, media and peer pressure which means children no longer want to be seen as children, even when as parents we know they still are.
The purpose of schooling isn't just academic leaning, but to create a rounded person. Schools are about to start teaching personal finance so kids can manage their money, so it makes perfect sense to teach personal well-being so kids can bolster their sense of self-worth.
The purpose of this shouldn't be to "take the burden" off parents but to work with parents and make sure - together - we are raising a generation of happy, healthy children.
In many ways we are in the middle of a big experiment, as no generation before has ever grown up with instant access to so much information, and much of it being information we would naturally wish to shield them from.  There is no roadmap to success so we need to put our children's well-being first on every step along this new journey.
Our children may think we are being overcautious, but rising levels of child depression, eating disorders and self-harm show we are right to be cautious until the full effects of placing so much pressure on youngsters is fully understood.
Providing sex and relationships education (SRE) in school and at home is vital because adults can offer factually correct information and an opportunity for safe discussion that matches the maturity of the child.
Some secondary schools are also choosing to teach a lesson directly about pornography with older pupils, for example, Year 10 and 11. A lesson with this age-group could explore questions such as "Does pornography present particular values in relation to power, gender and sexual behaviour?" and "What are realistic and unrealistic standards for bodily appearance?"
Parents have a crucial role in SRE. Most parents are supportive of SRE and want to have a role at home and expect school to cover it as well. However many parents fail to fulfil the role they aspire to and wish that they found it easier to talk to their children about growing up, sex and relationships.
This often reflects parents' own poor experiences of SRE and their feeling of embarrassment about the subject. The research shows that SRE is more effective if home and school are involved. Schools and parents can work together on starting an open dialogue about SRE.
Teaching children and young people to be critical consumers of media and able to discuss issues about the body, gender and sexual behaviour will equip them with "filters in their head" to be more in control of the media available to them.
As a society we also need to be more open and honest about sex and relationships and more confident about the language we use.


Labour support in Wales has reached new lows, an opinion poll has suggested.

A poll by YouGov for ITV Wales and Cardiff University suggests 31% of people would vote for Labour in assembly constituency elections, down three points from September.
That is the lowest rating since YouGov's first Welsh poll in July 2009.
Both Tory and Plaid Cymru support rose by one point to 25% and 21% respectively, UKIP was down one to 12% and the Liberal Democrats up two to 8%.
There was also a dip in support for Labour when respondents were asked how they would vote in a Westminster election, with Labour support falling by two points to 33%.
This is the lowest point in any Welsh poll on Westminster voting intention since a YouGov poll in April 2010, according to Prof Roger Scully.
Conservative support fell by one point to 28%, while Plaid and UKIP support was tied on 13%, with no change in the Plaid rating from September and a slight dip of one point for UKIP.
Support for the Liberal Democrats rose by two points to 9%.
"The saving grace for Welsh Labour continues to be the lack of a single strong opponent," said Prof Scully of Cardiff University.
"While Labour's performance in our new poll is weak, none of their opponents are exactly achieving glittering ratings either," he said.
A Welsh Labour spokeswoman said: "It's heartening that despite the turbulent political year we have faced, Welsh Labour and Carwyn Jones remain the most trusted by the people of Wales.
"We take nothing for granted and as we look ahead to the elections in May and the challenges beyond, Welsh Labour will continue to deliver for people right across Wales."
A spokesman for the Welsh Conservatives said it was "worth remembering that pollsters failed to anticipate Brexit, Trump's victory, or the General Election result in 2015".
"That's why we remain undistracted from the job at hand, which is to demonstrate that only the Welsh Conservatives, working with colleagues at Westminster, can deliver stability and security, and a Wales that works for everyone."
The poll was of 1,034 adults and  carried out from 3-6 January 2017.


Pakistan seamer Mohammad Amir says he joined Essex to help him become a more complete bowler.

The 25-year-old left-armer, who helped Pakistan win the Champions Trophy last weekend, will be available for the second half of the county season.
"[Pakistan legend] Wasim Akram is my idol. When I spoke to him he said if you want to do better in cricket, go and play county cricket," said Amir.
"He said you will learn lots about cricket both off the field and on."
Fellow left-arm pace bowler Wasim took 414 wickets in 104 Tests for Pakistan between 1985 and 2002, and enjoyed much success as Lancashire's overseas player between 1988 and 1998.
Amir can play in all formats for Essex, starting with their day-night County Championship match against Middlesex at Chelmsford next week.
Essex are currently top of Division One in their first season back in the top flight.
"I want to be the best bowler for the half season I'm playing," Amir told BBC Look East.
"As an overseas player it's my duty to give 100% and perform well for them and maintain the standard they've been doing."
He took 3-16, which included a brilliant opening spell, as Pakistan shocked defending champions India to win the Champions Trophy on Sunday.
Amir said: "We changed history. We've won all formats of trophies in the ICC: 2009 World Twenty20, 1992 World Cup and now the 2017 Champions Trophy.
"I don't have words to explain. We won the game against India and everybody knows what that means to us and everybody back home, especially my family for me too, because of the way I performed in the final. That was one of the best performances of my career."
Amir was banned from cricket for five years after being convicted of spot-fixing against England at Lord's in 2010.
One of three Pakistan players jailed in November 2011 for his part in a conspiracy to bowl deliberate no-balls, he served three months in prison.
He has taken 94 wickets in 28 Tests at an average of 31.47 since making his debut as a 17-year-old in 2009.


English, Welsh and Maths GCSE results are expected to be lower in Wales this year than previously, the body overseeing qualifications has said.

The predicted decline is being blamed on schools entering more pupils for the exams a year earlier than intended.
Education Secretary Kirsty Williams warned pupils capable of high grades could be missing out by sitting the exams early and not being re-entered.
She told BBC Wales she may stop schools entering pupils for exams a year early.
Speaking on the Sunday Politics Wales programme, Ms Williams said she would consider the matter after an investigation reports back to her in the autumn.
For GCSE English Language, entry data shows a substantial number of pupils taking the qualification this summer while still in year 10.
There are slightly more than 21,000 year 10 entries - approximately 65% of all year 10 students in Wales.
Exam regulator Qualifications Wales said that as a result "we expect that this will mean that the overall results this summer will be lower than in previous years".
Ms Williams said: "What I'm concerned about is that children that, perhaps had the potential to get an A* and A or a B at the end of a two year course end up having to settle for a C because they do it early and they're not re-entered again.
"I want children to fulfil their potential in school. I want early entry to be only for the children who will benefit from it.
"When I see such large numbers as are being reported as being entered, that's something I am concerned about."
This year, for the first time, pupils have sat GCSE English and Welsh exams which are unique to Wales.
Ms Williams said the new qualifications were more rigorous and this could also account for the expected drop in results.
However, last October, Qualifications Wales wrote to schools about the new qualifications and insisted: "There is a well-established approach to maintaining stability in outcomes when a new GCSE or an A level is introduced, known as 'comparable outcomes'.
It said the aim was to ensure pupils taking new qualifications were "neither advantaged nor disadvantaged" compared to those who took the previous exam, and that the approach "works well in situations where one specification is replaced with another".
In May, Welsh Government Director of Education Steve Davies told AMs some schools were "gaming" the exam system, that officials were "concerned" about the volume of early entry and the government wanted to take action this autumn.
Earlier in the month, Ms Williams expressed concerns the focus on raising GCSE attainment to C grade had led to "unintended consequences", with some children put in for early entry to bank a lower qualification instead of potentially reaching higher.
This is an issue which has been on the Welsh Government's radar for a number of years.
In 2013, the then Education Minister, Huw Lewis, warned he would intervene to prevent schools "gaming the system" in the future if they did not stop voluntarily.
In England, the number of pupils being entered early for their Maths GCSEs fell sharply in 2014 when the UK government made changes to how school league tables were calculated so that only the first entry counted.


US President Barack Obama has announced he is rejecting an application to build the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada.

Speaking from the White House, he said it would not have served the "national interests" of the US.
Its construction has been hotly disputed for seven years, with environmentalists saying it would do irreparable damage.
But the president said the pipeline had taken on an "overinflated role" in the climate change debate.
The proposed pipeline would have run 1,179-miles (1,897km) taking 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Nebraska.
But Mr Obama said it would not have:
"The pipeline would not make a meaningful long-term contribution to our economy," he said.
Republican presidential candidates condemned the news, with Jeb Bush calling it an attack on the US economy.
In February, the Republican-led Congress voted to begin construction immediately, but Mr Obama vetoed the bill to await environmental reports.
It took more than seven years, but Barack Obama has finally got to "no".
Maybe it was the election of a Liberal government in Canada that is more suspicious of big energy projects. Maybe it was the sharp decline in oil prices over the past year. Or maybe it was Friday's announcement that the US unemployment rate has dropped to 5%, the lowest of Mr Obama's presidency.
Whatever the explanation, the president decided now was the time to finally strike the death blow to the controversial pipeline. It's a move that will be heralded by environmentalists, condemned by Republicans on the presidential campaign trail and - almost certainly - largely overlooked by an American public that was never really engaged on the issue.
The president's decision puts Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton in a comfortable spot. She had recently come out against the pipeline, and Mr Obama's move takes the issue off the table - at least for now.
The decision comes as world leaders plan to meet in Paris at the end of the month to finalise a major global climate agreement.
The agreement, which could be reached at the meeting known as the UN Climate Change Conference or COP 21, would be a major part of the president's legacy.
Video: Why does Paris climate change conference matter?
While the project is dead for now, the pipeline controversy will not end any time soon.
Proponents will almost certainly challenge the decision in court and if a Republican is elected president next year, construction could yet be approved.
The pipeline also generated controversy outside of Washington, souring relations between the former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the US president.
President Obama said he had spoken to newly-elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and they agreed the issue of climate change trumped any differences of opinion over the pipeline.
