Adam Lambert is one of those pop stars whose name is more recognisable than his music.

A former contestant on American Idol, he's probably best known in the UK for touring with Queen, where he substitutes for the late, great Freddie Mercury.
His formidable vocals and flamboyant stage presence certainly have the Freddie factor but that same taste for excess has often derailed his solo work.
That all changes on his third album, The Original High.
Perhaps as a result of his tenure with Queen, Lambert has tempered the histrionics, allowing the contours of his voice to mould the music's emotional punch.
Recorded with Swedish pop overlords Max Martin (Britney's ...Baby One More Time) and Shellback (Taylor Swift's Shake It Off), The Original High follows a turbulent period, where Lambert split with his record label after they suggested he record an album of cover versions.
"I feel like everything is set up properly this time, " the 33-year-old tells the BBC. "I'm really excited."
Sitting down to discuss the record in London, the singer talks about his time with Queen, rumours of diva-dom and his debilitating honey habit.
The album's been getting great reviews. How is everything going?
I feel really confident. First of all, the songs are really strong. But secondly, I have an amazing team. In the past there were moments where I wasn't too sure I was being looked after correctly and it made me nervous.
Really? What are the warning signs when something goes wrong?
When people don't know about your album. When people aren't interested. This time it's clear my fans are on board and we've got people's attention.
What's the story with your old label?
I was a little disappointed when Trespassing [Adam's second album] had a shorter lifespan than I felt like it deserved. But I came back to New York and we had a meeting and it was like, 'ok, what are we doing next?'
I had some ideas, producers I wanted to work with and stuff like that. Then they were like, "Well, we have an idea, too... We want you to do a cover of 80s new wave hits."
And you know, I'm very open. I like taking chances - so I went home and thought about it. I listened to a lot of music from that period but it just didn't resonate with me. And then it's funny that I then ended up on tour with Queen  - which is essentially doing covers but it's not an album.
There's a new clarity and intimacy to the vocals on your new record. How did that come about?
This project wasn't rushed. We started working in Stockholm, Sweden and that was all I had on my plate for two months.
That focus really allowed me to dive into the ideas. It gave me a lot of energy to keep just for the studio.
Another Lonely Night particularly stands out as a big, emotional moment.
Max really, really produced an amazing vocal. I know I can sing, but getting it right in the studio is not always easy - especially with a vocal that's more nuanced.
I'm really comfortable when it comes to the crazy, high-powered, intense vocals - it's like I flip a switch and it's there. But when you take it into something vulnerable, it's not as cut-and-dried for me and Max really helped me find the space for it to live in.
Do you record your vocals in one go, or piece them together?
I do complete takes, mostly. Then after a few full passes, I'll do the verse 10 times. But never line by line.
One of the songs is a duet with Tove Lo called Rumours. What's the strangest rumour you've heard about yourself?
I heard once that I'd died! And early on, when I first started, there was a rumour that I was like a giant, massive diva. And I was like, 'I think I'm pretty nice to everyone I meet'. Where did they get that?
A diva is just somebody that's demanding. A little crazy. Not in touch with reality. I don't like to be treated special.
I've seen celebrities where you're told "Don't look them in the eye" and I'm like, "Who would say that? It's ridiculous?"
For me, the thing about being a pop artist is, I want people to identify with me. If I'm placed in a bubble, living an unrealistic existence, how can I be close to my audience?
I think people want their pop stars to be a little bit deranged.
Maybe. Maybe. But there's a big distinction between the onstage persona and real life. I'm always myself on stage - but there's a certain something that comes out when the lights are on.
So what's the biggest demand you've made?
I'm a little snobby with the tequila! I like a top shelf and not a bottom shelf. But I don't have anything crazy on my rider. I ask for a scented candle, and I started asking for local honey when I found out it helps with allergies. Plus, it's tasty.
And low calorie, right?
Right! I didn't really think about that and I found myself backstage on the Queen tour eating a lot of honey between songs.
After a couple of weeks I was like, "I'm feeling kind of puffy and fat". And my assistant said, "You realise you're eating spoonfuls of honey throughout the entire show?"
So now it's one scoop before the show. That's all I get.
Do you make sure you have people around you who can say "no" to you?
Yes, and they do. We get into debates all the time.
So when was the last time you were over-ruled?
It happens all the time.
That's not good enough. Let's have a specific example.
Well, lately, the trend with hats has been really problematic. A couple of the members of my team were like, "If you wear a hat on the red carpet, it'll put your face in the shadow and people aren't going to recognise you." And they were right. I was like, "OK, I'll wear the hats on my day off."
Does the release of this album mean an end to your time with Queen?
It's not the end. It's just a pause button. We have some other things we're going to be doing.
How much of a challenge was it to step into Freddie Mercury's boots?
It took a second for it all to click in. The first handful of times we did it, I pulled it off, but I was so intimidated by the legacy. I was thinking a little too hard, which I have a tendency of doing.
I noticed the tour started in North America and came to the UK last. Was that so you were battle-ready for the home crowd?
I think it was just a scheduling thing. The States was the first step because we did a concert in Vegas and people responded so quickly to it. There were offers right away. It was crazy.
But when we played Wembley Arena, the audience was on fire.
Finally, I notice that your home town of San Diego has declared 8 May as Adam Lambert Day. How do you celebrate?
I don't think it's an annual holiday!  When you go to a city and they do a proclamation, it's just for that day, isn't it?
I got a certificate and a plaque and I'm very flattered - but I don't think it's taken seriously. I certainly don't celebrate Adam Lambert day!
The Original High is out now on Warner Bros. records.


Serena Williams has withdrawn from next week's Wuhan Open, as well as the China Open, with a shoulder injury.

Williams, 34, has been troubled by the problem with her right shoulder since winning Wimbledon, her 22nd Grand Slam singles title, in July.
She says her focus is now on being fit enough to play in the season-ending WTA Finals in Singapore from 23 October.
Her recent defeat by Karolina Pliskova at the US Open ended Williams' 186-week run as world number one.
She had equalled Steffi Graf's record for the longest reign at the top of the women's rankings. The defeat against Pliskova in the semi-final at Flushing Meadows, though, saw Williams' place taken by eventual champion Angelique Kerber.
The Wuhan Open starts on Sunday and runs to next Saturday, with the China Open starting the following Monday.
The American's withdrawal from the tournaments in Wuhan and Beijing have reduced her chances of reclaiming the number one spot from Kerber before the end of 2016.


An emergency summit of leaders from eurozone nations will be held on Monday, after the latest attempt to resolve the Greek debt crisis failed.

A meeting of finance ministers on Thursday made no breakthrough.
Head of the Eurogroup, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, said that "too little" progress had been made and that "no agreement as yet is in sight".
Greece has less than two weeks to strike a deal with its creditors or face defaulting on an existing loan.
Mr Dijsselbloem stressed that "very little time remains" for Greece.
Reports says that the European Central Bank (ECB) will hold an emergency meeting of its governing council on Friday to discuss the deteriorating situation for Greek banks.
It is thought that the ECB may have to extend further emergency funding for Greek banks which have suffered high rates of withdrawals by customers worried that Greece could be forced out of the eurozone.
On Thursday Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said his nation had presented a "comprehensive" proposal and that disagreement only existed over spending equivalent to 0.5% of Greek GDP, which he says does not constitute a "dangerous impasse".
He argued that Greece had already made a "gigantic adjustment" over the past five years and rejected any measures that would "jack-up" taxes and reduce benefits further.
And he warned that negotiations were "dangerously close to a state of mind that accepts an accident".
Greece has less than two weeks remaining to strike a deal or face defaulting on an existing €1.6bn (£1.1bn) loan repayment due to the International Monetary Fund.
The country has already rolled a €300m payment into those due on 30 June.
If it fails to make the payment, it risks having to leave the eurozone and possibly also the EU.
But the European Commission, the IMF and the ECB are unwilling to unlock bailout funds until Greece agrees to reforms.
They want Greece to implement a series of economic changes in areas such as pensions, VAT and on the budget surplus before releasing €7.2bn of funds, which have been delayed since February.
Mr Dijsselbloem called on Greece to submit "credible" proposals in the coming days and said the nation needed to seize a "last opportunity" to reach a deal with its creditors.
"It is still possible to find an agreement and extend the current programme before the end of the month, but the ball is clearly in the Greek court to seize that last opportunity," Mr Dijsselbloem said.

What impact would Grexit have on UK?
Pressure was also raised on Greece earlier on Thursday when the boss of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, warned there was "no period of grace" for Greece over its impending debt repayment deadline.
She said Greece would be in default on its loans from the IMF if it failed to make the €1.6bn payment on 30 June.
Ms Lagarde maintained that the international institutions had always shown flexibility towards Greece's situation.
Earlier German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she was "still convinced" that a Greek debt deal was possible.
In her statement to the German parliament, Mrs Merkel said Germany was working hard to keep Greece in the euro, but said Athens had to follow through on reform commitments.
"I'm still convinced - where there's a will, there's a way," she said. "If those in charge in Greece can muster the will, an agreement with the three institutions is still possible."
In another development, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras denied allegations that elderly Greeks were receiving lavish pensions.
Writing in the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, he said: "The problem is not one of supposed generous pensions. The most significant disruption to the pension funds is due to dramatically lower revenues in recent years.
"These were caused by... the sharp drop in contributions that resulted from soaring unemployment and the reduction in wages."

Suffolk's new police and crime commissioner has defended the costs of his office to MPs.

Tim Passmore appeared before the Home Affairs select committee and was questioned about his £1.7m budget.
Keith Vaz MP, committee chairman, suggested there had been almost a doubling of costs since the change from the old Suffolk Police Authority.
Mr Passmore said that was incorrect and the costs had actually gone down by £100,000 since his election last year.
Mr Vaz said to Mr Passmore: "You employ nine people, but your total office cost is £1.7m and that's a 48% increase on the previous police committee."
Mr Passmore replied: "The cost of the office is actually over £100,000 less than the previous police authority.
"I can assure you nobody is being paid any extra and there have been no other appointments at all on top of what I inherited from the police authority, which is something we're looking at at the moment."
Mr Passmore's office said there was a 48% increase in his total budget, but it was due to the inclusion of the £600,000 Community Safety Fund, which came from the government.
This fund was not included in the old police authority budget.


More violence is happening behind closed doors in people's homes, documents obtained by the BBC reveal.

The papers show that police believe increases in certain types of violence may be down to new psychoactive drugs and increases in alcohol consumption.
There could also be a "perception" that Police Scotland is doing less "intervention work", the documents say.
The papers were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act from the police's own Violence Reduction Board.
The new body, which was set up a year ago, highlights the shift in violence away from city centres and public areas.
It said more people were drinking alcohol in "private spaces" and new drugs, known as "legal highs" before they were banned at the start of the year, were causing violent behaviour.
Violence Reduction Board papers from January state "more crimes of violence are occurring in people's homes, often behind closed doors".
They say: "Since 2009/10 we've seen a big swing in the balance from public space to private space, meaning the increasing number of violent crimes in private space is now becoming a concern (increased from 34% in 2009/10 to 43% in quarter one of 2015/16)."
The papers add: "The traditional approach to tackling public space violence does not necessarily translate to policing violent crime happening in the home.
"Violent crime in private space does not just relate to domestic abuse and we need to better understand why this is happening.
"What we do know is that there is a clear link to alcohol."
On Wednesday, BBC Scotland revealed that serious assault, murder and robbery had all increased in the past nine months compared to the same period in the previous year.
Police Scotland said violent crime was down over the past five years and crime overall was at a 40-year low.
However, concerns have been raised about why recent increases in some crimes have taken place.
The VRB papers questioned whether it could be related to the police significantly reducing their use of stop-search tactics but found "no conclusive correlation".
The papers also revealed that senior officers were concerned that there were a number of potential reasons to "explain the increases" including:
The documents also said that the police's own draft Violence Strategic Assessment "shows analysis indicating there is an increase in the use of weapons in violent crimes in West Central Scotland".
Figures for the past nine months indicate a 4.4% increase in handling bladed weapons.
The papers say that behind the scenes police and the Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) are working to identify why there may have been increases to try to tackle "how to address the challenges ahead".
Will Linden, acting director of the Violence Reduction Unit Scotland, said it was a "complex picture".
He said Scotland had seen a massive reduction in violent crime committed by young people over the past decade by concentrating on tackling knife crime.
Mr Linden said an increase in violence levels had been identified among those aged 21 to 30 and that was the age group that now needed to be targeted.
He said: "We won't address violence solely by policing because if the violence is now not happening on our streets but happening in our houses then policing isn't going to help that."
The VRU director said tackling alcohol consumption was a key factor.
"The relationship between violence and alcohol has long been toxic for Scotland," he said.
"Over the past few years we have been lucky to see decreases in the level of alcohol consumption which is correlated to decreases in the level of alcohol-related violence.
"However, in the past two years we have seen a reversal of that trend.
"This increase may have a significant impact on the levels of violence we are seeing."


The UK should stay in the single market and customs union until a final Brexit deal is in force, according to the CBI.

Carolyn Fairbairn, head of the business lobby group, said it was "impossible" that all the details of a new trade deal with the European Union would be in place by March 2019.
That is when talks about the UK's withdrawal are due to formally finish.
To minimise disruption, UK businesses need a "bridge" instead of a "cliff edge" for the new deal, she said.
Businesses are delaying investment because of the uncertainty, according to the CBI, whose members employ nearly 7 million people.
The government said it was working with businesses to ensure the Brexit process was "smooth".
"While we will be leaving the single market and the EU customs union, we want to achieve a comprehensive free trade agreement that allows for the most frictionless possible trade," a government spokesman said.
In a speech at the London School of Economics, Ms Fairbairn said it was "common sense" to stay in the single market and customs union until a trade deal was in place.
"This is not about whether we are leaving the EU, it is about how," she said.
"Once the Article 50 clock strikes midnight on 29 March 2019 the UK will leave the EU."
Her comments were backed by Labour, which said it wanted an early commitment to "strong transitional arrangements" on similar terms to those currently in place.
"Without that commitment, and without a bridge to new trading arrangements with the EU, there will be growing uncertainty for businesses and investment decisions will be delayed," said Keir Starmer, Labour's Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the EU.
The CBI said businesses feared they could be forced to adapt twice - first to a transitional arrangement, and then to the final trade deal.
That would be "wasteful, difficult and uncertain in itself," Ms Fairbairn said.
She told the BBC that a survey of CBI members found that 40% had reduced investment plans due to Brexit uncertainty.
"The urgency is simply growing. March 2019 is tomorrow for a lot of businesses. They are having to make their plans now," she said.
The CBI's proposal was backed by a range of business bodies, including from retail, aerospace and manufacturing.
Terry Scuoler, chief executive of the manufacturers' body EEF, said: "The absence of any clarity for businesses makes this a sensible approach to transition."
The TUC also supported the move, saying "it's crucial that we get the transition right as we leave the EU".
However, Patrick Minford, chairman of the Economists for Free Trade and an economics professor at Cardiff University, said it was not clear what the CBI wanted.
"They are constantly arguing for remain through the back door and this sounds like the same thing," he told the BBC.
He said the UK and EU would have to reach some kind of deal by the end of March 2019 and that would involve transitional arrangements.
The CBI's comments come ahead of a government conference on Friday with business figures from sectors across the UK.
The event, to be hosted at Chevening House in Kent, is part of government plans to work more closely with industries over Brexit.
Business groups have increased their calls in recent weeks for the UK to maintain existing trading relations with the EU.
After last month's election, five business bodies - including the CBI and EEF - called for the government to maintain the economic benefits of the single market and the customs union.
The CBI has now gone further by urging that the UK stay in those trading arrangements until a final deal is in place.


A survey suggests that 40% of Scots who are not already on the property ladder do not believe they will ever be able to buy their own house.

However, only 14% said they were "concerned" about the prospect of never being a homeowner, according to a report from Bank of Scotland.
While 40% believed they will never own their home, 26% were more optimistic about being able to buy.
The remaining 26% said they did not know if they will ever own property.
The online survey, carried out by YouGov in December, asked more than 3,000 adults over 16 living in Scotland for their views.
Younger people were most optimistic, with almost half of 18 to 24-year-olds believing they would be able to buy property without the need to borrow money other than a mortgage.
Only 4% of people aged 50 and over were of the same mind-set, according to the survey.
People living in Aberdeen were most confident about buying their own home, with 40% believing they would.
Fife respondents were most pessimistic, with 37% believing they will never be able to own their own home.
Nicola Noble at Bank of Scotland said: "It's concerning that two-fifths of Scots don't feel they will ever be able to buy their own home, with a quarter of those thinking that this is a normal thing in this day and age.
"It's possible schemes such as Help to Buy and the Help to Buy Isa are making younger generations more optimistic about being able to afford a home one day."


French arthouse director Agnes Varda will receive an honorary Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes film festival, the first female to be handed the award.

Only Woody Allen (2002), Clint Eastwood (2009) and Bernardo Bertolucci (2011) have previously been honoured this way, according to festival organisers.
The prize is given to a renowned director who has had "a global impact", but has not won a Palme d'Or before.
The festival starts on 13 May, with Joel and Ethan Coen chairing the jury.
Varda, 86, was one of the leading figures of the French New Wave film movement, alongside Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut.
Her films include Vagabond, which won the Venice film festival's Golden Lion in 1985, and Jacquot de Nantes, about the life of her late husband, film director Jacques Demy.
'Fierce determination'
"Her work and her life are infused with the spirit of freedom, the art of driving back boundaries, a fierce determination and a conviction that brooks no obstacles," said Cannes festival organisers.
"Simply put, Varda seems capable of accomplishing everything she wants."
She will be honoured during a ceremony at the end of the 12-day festival, when the jury hands out its top prizes on 24 May.
Varda came to prominence in 1962 with Cleo from 5 to 7 and was awarded the prestigious Louis Delluc Prize for her film Le Bonheur in 1965.
She is a photographer, screenplay writer, actress, and visual artist as well as a director of both features and documentaries.
She was previously awarded the Carosse D'Or award, in recognition of her life's work, during the directors' fortnight part of Cannes in 2010.
This year's festival sees films starring Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey, Marion Cotillard and Sir Michael Caine in competition.
Woody Allen's 45th film, Irrational Man, Pixar animation Inside Out and the new Amy Winehouse documentary will also screen out of competition.


Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Suarez and Rodriguez are all likely to come face to face on Saturday in a game simply known as El Clasico.

It's the name given to the match between fierce Spanish rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona, and means "the Classic".
It's the 229th time the two sides will face each other and it could be one of the most thrilling El Clasicos in recent times.
Former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is expected to make his Barca debut.
He's returning to football after serving a long ban for biting another player during the World Cup.
Madrid and Barcelona are the two largest cities in Spain and this is at the root of their rivalry.
According to the latest Forbes list, Madrid (valued at £2.1bn) and Barcelona (£2bn) are the two richest clubs in the world.
In comparison, Manchester United is valued at £1.75bn.
The Spanish giants have also attracted some of the biggest names in football to their clubs.
From the era of Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas in the 1950s and 60s through to Johan Cruyff and Diego Maradona in the 1970s and 80s, these are clubs with plenty of foreign stars.
English players including David Beckham and Michael Owen and French legend Zinedine Zidane were some of the world's best players to get a taste of El Clasico in the 2000s.
Real are holding an overall 91-89 lead, while 48 games have been drawn.
However, Barca have enjoyed the better of recent league matches, winning eight of the 12 league fixtures between the sides since 2008, including wins home and away last season.
The biggest margin of victory ever enjoyed by either team was an 11-1 cup win for Real in 1943.
More recently, Barca's 5-0 thrashing of Real at the Nou Camp in November 2010 - Jose Mourinho's first Clasico in charge of Madrid - is widely regarded as the finest performance delivered by the Barcelona in recent years.
The global television audience for Saturday's game will be colossal, with estimates placing the number of worldwide viewers between 400 and 500 million.
The kick-off is at 5pm, which has been carefully chosen to allow people around the world to enjoy the game.
At that time, the game is early enough to allow the large number of fans in Asia to watch before going to bed.
It's also late enough to ensure that supporters can also watch over lunch in South America, where there is huge interest because the game involves some of the biggest stars from Argentina (Messi), Brazil (Neymar), Colombia (Rodriguez) and Uruguay (Suarez).


Police have released enhanced CCTV images of the last known sighting of Allan Bryant on the first anniversary of his disappearance.

Mr Bryant, from Fife, has not been seen since he left the Styx nightclub in Glenrothes on 3 November 2013.
It is hoped that the video, which is being promoted on social media, will generate new lines of inquiry.
On Sunday evening, Mr Bryant's family held a candlelit vigil outside Styx.
He had been drinking in the nightclub on Caskieberran Road and was last seen outside at about 02:00.
Following his disappearance, police mounted a large search including the use of air support, divers and police dogs, in one of Police Scotland's biggest missing person inquiries.
Allan is described as being 5ft 6in tall, of medium build with short brown hair and blue eyes. He has tattoos on both arms and was dressed in a navy, white and grey striped T-shirt, black or dark denim jeans and grey leather plimsoles.
Police previously released a poster in February 2014 and CCTV footage of Mr Bryant leaving the club in June 2014, which has now been enhanced.
Ch Insp Nicola Shepherd said: "Our investigation into Allan's disappearance has been detailed and thorough, and is ongoing. For the past 12 months officers have been working tirelessly to find Allan, spending many thousands of hours following up dozens of lines of inquiry.
"Despite this, and widespread publicity, we have no more confirmed sightings of Allan after he left Styx.
"This makes the CCTV crucial and we have chosen to focus on it again a year on. These are the best images for people to view online to help them think back to Sunday 3 November last year to remember if they saw him.
"The community has been extremely supportive of the search for Allan and we continue to call on them now.
"We also want people to share our video on social media to raise as much awareness as possible of Allan's case, and then contact police on 101 or through our website if they have any information which may assist, no matter how insignificant it may seem."
Ch Insp Shepherd added: "Experts from across the force have been involved over the past year, carrying out meticulous searches and comprehensively examining every piece of information we have received.
"Our support to Allan's family continues alongside our efforts to reunite them with their son and brother, and our thoughts are with them on this difficult day."
Anyone with information on Mr Bryant's whereabouts should contact police.


Britons stuck in Sharm el-Sheikh will have to fly home "at their own risk" if they do not return by the end of Tuesday, the government has warned.

Those returning from the Egyptian resort after then will have to fly on planes without "enhanced UK security measures", the Foreign Office said.
The government suspended flights from the Egyptian resort from 4-6 November.
The decision was made amid fears the Sinai plane crash on 31 October may have been caused by a terrorist bomb.
All 224 people were killed when the Airbus 321, which had been flying from Sharm el-Sheikh to St Petersburg, crashed into the Sinai desert.
UK investigators believe a bomb was put in the hold of the plane prior to take-off.
The government has since been working with airlines to improve security on flights returning from the resort's airport to the UK, with new measures including transporting hold baggage on separate planes.
But it said the last of these flights would depart on Tuesday after which holidaymakers would have to make alternative arrangements to get home.
All UK airlines have suspended flights from the UK to Sharm el-Sheikh.
A statement from the Foreign Office, which is advising against all but essential air travel to or from the resort, said: "This may involve having to travel with an airline to which enhanced UK security measures,  for example separate baggage flights, do not apply.
"Travellers are advised that they do so at their own risk."
The government said it expected the backlog of Britons stuck in Sharm el-Sheikh to be cleared "by the end of the weekend".
It said extra flights had been organised to ensure all Britons could leave "while current security measures for UK airlines are in place".
The government said airlines had "assured us that they have sufficient capacity" to fly all British tourists home by the end of Tuesday and "fewer than 200" of their passengers would remain in Sharm el-Sheikh after that.
A Department for Transport spokesman added these people would be those who had chosen to stay.
More than 13,000 passengers have been brought home since flights restarted on 6 November.
Some 20,000 British nationals were thought to be in the resort at the time of the crash.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond previously said the backlog of UK tourists waiting to leave would be cleared by the end of this week.


Politicians in northern England want Chancellor Philip Hammond to prioritise transport links in the region to make it more attractive to investors.

The Labour politicians, representing Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and Liverpool, say northern motorways are reaching "saturation point".
And they say train capacity in what has been dubbed the Northern Powerhouse economic region is "at the limit".
The Treasury says an extra Â£1.3bn will be spent UK-wide to tackle congestion.
The chancellor will give an update on a number of government spending projects during his Autumn Statement on Wednesday, including transport upgrades.
The Northern Powerhouse idea is aimed at ending the UK's economic reliance on London.
Earlier this year the Conservative government said it was spending Â£13bn on transport for the Northern Powerhouse over the course of this Parliament "including dramatic improvements to our roads and railways in the North".
But the Labour figures, who include Greater Manchester mayoral candidate Andy Burnham, say there is now an added need, following the "wake up" call of the Brexit vote, which will see changes to the economy once the UK leaves the EU.
They say investors could lose confidence in the region - and the concept of a "Northern Powerhouse" - if there is not a realignment of how money is invested in regional transport.
"Decades of unfair allocations from the transport budget have left the North with an inadequate rail system and motorways that are at saturation point," said Mr Burnham.
"If people in London and the South East had to put up with the North's transport system, there would be protests in the streets. It is our turn to come to the front of the queue for transport investment and that must start this week."
In the 2016 Budget, the-then chancellor, George Osborne, announced Â£60m would be allocated to develop plans to cut journey times to around 30 minutes between Leeds and Manchester, as well as improving transport connections between other cities in the north.
It was Mr Osborne, in a speech in 2014, who said: "I'm here to talk to you today about what we can do to make the cities of the north a powerhouse for our economy."


Karen Gillan has come home to Scotland to direct her first feature-length film.

Called Tupperware Party, it is wrapped up in challenging issues, and also marks a return for the actress to where her fascination with movies first began.
"Weirdly, I am back where I started," says the 29-year-old actress, writer and director on the set of Tupperware Party.
"I have been concentrating on acting for, I guess, the last decade.
"But when I first started off when I was a young child expressing an interest in all this I had a video camera and was directing little short films.
"It feels exactly the same, except everything is on a slightly bigger scale."
Inverness-born Gillan is best known for her roles as Amy Pond in the BBC's Doctor Who and also as space pirate Nebula in 2014's Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy.
Since her breakout role in Doctor Who she has also appeared in the films Not Another Happy Ending, Oculus and In a Valley of Violence and US TV shows, including Selfie.
But Gillan has also been busy writing and directing her own material. She already has two short films to her name, including a horror short called Conventional.
Tupperware Party, which she wrote and is directing and starring in, is an art house film set in her home city and is being made by a US-based film company.
Gillan says: "Tupperware Party follows the story of a girl called Lucy who lives in Inverness. She is dealing with the suicide of her best friend.
"It is one year one on and she is having a really hard time expressing how she feels about the whole event. Her angst manifests itself in quite destructive ways."
The film is being shot at locations across Scotland, including Inverness. When I catch up with Gillan the production is in Bo'ness, near Falkirk.
She says: "It was so important for me to film in Scotland first and foremost because the film is set in Scotland.
"The only other film I've seen set in Inverness was Loch Ness, which is great and I really enjoyed it, but I really wanted to show the reality of the place and what it is like to grow up there.
"There is a sense of identity that is beyond the tourist sort of aesthetic."
Tupperware Party is being made by Mt Hollywood Films, a film company with a mission to offer women and film-makers from minority backgrounds leadership roles such as writing, directing and producing films.
"I have such an amazing team to collaborate with," says Gillan.
"We have such a strong team of females on this project. We didn't choose anyone because they were female. To me gender is irrelevant and it is whoever is best for the job."
Andru Davies, of Mt Hollywood Films, says Gillan is "exactly" the kind of film-maker the company wants to work with.
"She wrote the script, she is directing it, she is the lead actress, it is female-driven and her partners are all women," he says.
But he adds: "It is a story that speaks to both men and women."
It is not only the Scottish actress that has won over the film company. Making Tupperware Party has convinced Mt Hollywood Films to return to Scotland to make other films.
Davies says: "It is great working here. We are actually moving some of our other projects to Scotland because of how much we have enjoyed working here. The crews are amazing and the towns are great."
Part of Tupperware Party's crew is producer Claire Mundell, who also has her own independent film company, Synchronicity Films.
She previously worked with Gillan on Not Another Happy Ending.
"At the end of that film she told me she was writing a script about suicide in Scotland, which is a really big issue as we know," says Mundell.
"That really resonated with me and I thought the opportunity of working with Karen as a writer, director and female film-maker would be really exciting."
Mundell also says that Tupperware Party is yet another film that underlines the need for Scotland to have its own studio with an industry-scale stage.
The Scottish government has been looking at how to provide such a facility.
Mundell says such a studio would allow whole film-making processes to be done in Scotland, and not just filming at locations before the movies are finished in a studio overseas.
"The stage is necessary to inspire our own indigenous film-making talent and TV-making talent to be more ambitious and be more international with the stories they tell," she says.
Tupperware Party should be available for release in cinemas this year - 12 months when Gillan will rarely be far from the big screen.
Over the course of 2017 she will appear alongside Tom Hanks and Emma Watson in The Circle, reprise her role as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume Two and at Christmas will feature in a follow-up to 1995's Robin Williams hit movie Jumanji.
"So look out for those," says Gillan. "And then I'll be making a little appearance in the next Avengers movies."
Avengers: Infinity War, expected to be released in cinemas next year, brings together many characters from the Marvel comic "universe", including characters from Guardians of the Galaxy as well as the Iron Man and Captain America stories.
Some scenes for Infinity War are reportedly to be filmed in Scotland.
"What are the chances of that?" laughs Gillan, hoping that if this is indeed the case she might be able to appear as her character from a galaxy far away in a place not too far from home.


A group of "grey graffiti artists" have been flagging up potential pavement hazards with spray paint.

The project in Levenshulme, Manchester hopes to highlight difficult areas for elderly or vulnerable people.
The biodegradable paint reveals parts of the pavement which might trip up those with mobility problems.
The "graffiti" volunteers are all connected to Manchester's Age Friendly team, which aims to raise the concerns of older people.
Levenshulme Inspire, which works to make the area more accessible for the elderly, said the paint is temporary and will wear off naturally.
"While it's there it does at least show people where we think potential hazards could be," added co-ordinator, Kate Williams.
Manchester City Council called the project "art with heart" and said it was "gratifying to see communities getting involved in looking after one another."


Scottish Labour has urged the transport minister to broker a deal between unions and ScotRail to head off planned industrial action.

The RMT union is planning two further days of strike action in an ongoing dispute with ScotRail over driver-only trains.
Labour urged Humza Yousaf to meet the parties in a bid to end the stalemate.
Transport Scotland said the minister had already engaged with both sides to find a solution.
The RMT plans to hold two further 24-hour strikes, on Sunday 24 and 31 July, after the failure of talks through the conciliation service Acas.
Labour's transport spokesman Neil Bibby said: "Rail passengers have already faced significant disruption this summer due to infrastructure work on the Queen Street tunnel and Glasgow Subway causing delays and cancellations.
"The new UK transport secretary said resolving the dispute on Southern Railways was his 'top priority'. The SNP government should start to take seriously the real concerns of ScotRail staff and get a grip of this situation."
The RMT opposes any extension of driver-only trains and wants guards to be in control of operating doors, which it claims is a safer system.
But ScotRail has said 59% of customers already travel on a train where the doors are safely opened and closed by the driver, and that a second person would always be scheduled to be on board trains to help customers.
A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "Everyone wants to see an end to these strikes, Scotland's rail passengers most of all.
"The minister for transport and Transport Scotland officials have engaged with both sides throughout to find a solution, which we still believe lies in meaningful discussion.
"To this end we would call on both parties to get around the table and find a way to end these strikes once and for all.
"The Scottish government's resilience committee has met regularly since this period of disruption began to ensure that proper planning and contingency measures have been in effect to minimise disruption for passengers."
Transport Scotland said it had been assured by ScotRail that over 80% of services would run as normal this weekend.
Passengers are advised to check the ScotRail strike information web page before they travel.


The chairman of a new press self-regulation body set up in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal says he wants to show critics it is not a "fake".

Sir Alan Moses heads the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) which begins its work on Monday.
Ipso has replaced the discredited Press Complaints Commission, although not all newspapers have signed up to it.
Sir Alan said he understood why campaigners felt the new body was a "sham" but wanted to prove them wrong.
Campaign group Hacked Off, which pushes for tougher regulation of the press, described Ipso as a "sub-standard regulator" which fell short of the principles set down in the Leveson report.
Sir Alan said newspapers would have 28 days to resolve a complaint before Ipso moved in to adjudicate.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "What is very important is those who feel they are victims of press abuse should not feel that they are at the mercy of the press during that initial period.
"People who can't afford to go to court must have some means of speedy and cheap redress."
Sir Alan said an independent figure would be appointed to oversee the work of Ipso and report publicly on its progress.
"No respectable board can operate without people looking and monitoring what we're going to do," he said.
"The critics, and people like Hacked Off and the Media Standards Trust, will be very important to our success, because we have to listen to them and hear from them how we're doing."
Sir Brian Leveson led an inquiry into the ethics and practices of the press following public and political anger at phone hacking.
Among its recommendations, the report called for a tough new press regulator backed by statute.
A Royal Charter agreed by the main Westminster parties established a panel to independently verify a new regulator, although Ipso has not sought recognition from this.
A rival independent self-regulator, Impress, has been set up by a group of high-profile free speech campaigners, with the aim of becoming compliant with Leveson's requirements.
Earlier, former Court of Appeal judge Sir Alan said he had had a lot contact with hacking victims and opponents of Ipso.
He said that despite "losing my temper twice", he understood "distress and frustration" of Hacked Off's supporters such as Gerry and Kate McCann, parents of missing girl Madeleine.
"Of course they're angry, desperately angry. Of course they don't trust Ipso and they regard it as a fake and I'm not at all surprised but I want to show that they're wrong," he said.
According to the Guardian newspaper, 30 victims of press intrusion have written to Sir Alan claiming: "In its current form, Ipso retains no credibility with us or with the wider British public."
While most newspapers have signed up to the new body, the Guardian, Financial Times, Independent and London Evening Standard have not.
Sir Alan said he would like to them join but their doing so was not "vital to its existence".
He added that the industry-funded regulator could "cost substantially more" than its predecessor the PCC.
Sir Alan also said Ipso would never intervene to "prevent publication in advance", adding: "Of course I want a wild, unruly press. The last thing I want is a boring press."
But victims of press intrusion have continued to criticise the body.
In June, Gemma Dowler, sister of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, said Ipso was "just the newspapers looking after themselves".
Hacked Off executive director Joan Smith said: "Neither we, nor victims of press abuse, nor the wider public will accept a sham regulator that fails to meet the Leveson criteria of independence and effectiveness and which refuses to be subject to the audit that Lord Justice Leveson said was vital to prevent a repeat of the disastrous failures of the past."


Nottingham Forest have rejected Derby County's offer of more than £2.5m for captain Henry Lansbury, reports BBC Radio Nottingham.

Former Arsenal midfielder Lansbury, 26, is out of contract at the City Ground in the summer.
Lansbury has scored six goals in 19 appearances this season, including a hat-trick in a 5-2 win over Barnsley.
The Londoner has not played since picking up a hamstring injury before the 3-0 loss at Derby on 11 December.
Lansbury has previously been the subject of intense transfer interest, with Burnley in contact with Forest about a deal for the player in August 2015, but Lansbury decided to remain with the East Midlands club.
The Reds have started 2017 under a transfer embargo because there has been a delay in submitting audited accounts as the takeover of the two-time former European Cup winners nears completion.


Golden State Warriors forward Anderson Varejao could get a championship ring even if his team lose to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA finals.

The 33-year-old Brazilian will become the first player to feature for both finalists in the same season when the finals start (02:00 BST on Friday).
Varejao, who started with the Cavaliers in 2004, is regarded by them as one of their most celebrated players.
He joined the Warriors in February but has played enough games for Cleveland this season to be eligible for a ring.
Championship teams are not required to give rings to players who leave the team before the playoffs so it will be at the discretion of the Cavaliers.
Varejao said he was going to "go through some emotions" facing his old team but added: "Right now, I'm with the Warriors and I have to focus on helping them win the championship."


Up to 31 athletes from six sports could be banned from competing at the Rio Games, Olympic chiefs have said.

The announcement comes after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) retested 454 selected doping samples from the 2008 Games in Beijing.
The IOC said the retests were conducted using the very latest scientific analysis methods.
It also revealed it is awaiting the results of 250 retests from the 2012 Olympics in London.
"All these measures are a powerful strike against the cheats we do not allow to win," IOC president Thomas Bach said.
"They show once again that dopers have no place to hide. We keep samples for 10 years so that the cheats know that they can never rest.
"By stopping so many doped athletes from participating in Rio, we are showing once more our determination to protect the integrity of the Olympic competition."
More than 4,500 tests were carried out at the Beijing Games in 2008 but just nine athletes were caught cheating.
The IOC said the retests were focused on athletes who could potentially take part in Rio.
It added 12 affected national Olympic associations would be informed in the coming days.
However, the IOC said it would not be revealing the names of athletes who had returned adverse findings until B-samples had been tested and individuals informed.
The British Olympic Association said it has not been contacted by the IOC.
The organisation also confirmed it is to start re-testing samples from the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.
Last week, a whistleblower alleged Russian secret service agents helped to protect drug cheats in Sochi, although the Russian authorities denied the claims.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) is now investigating those allegations and on Tuesday announced it had appointed former Interpol agent and French Gendarmerie major Mathieu Holz to lead the inquiry.
The latest measures taken by the IOC come after Russia and Kenya were found to have breached anti-doping rules in recent months.
Russia was banned from athletics competition in November after a Wada commission report recommended the sanction.
Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko said his country was "very sorry" and "ashamed" of cheating athletes who were not caught by its anti-doping systems.
But he argued not lifting the ban for the Rio Games would be "unfair and disproportionate" and that clean athletes should not be punished.


Vocational and technical education in England is to get an extra Â£500m a year in a bid to train more skilled workers and boost the economy.

The plans, to be set out in next week's Budget, also include replacing 13,000 existing qualifications with 15 "world-class routes".
Students in further education or at a technical college will also be eligible for maintenance loans.
The new courses are expected to start from the 2019/20 academic year.
The government is calling the plans the most ambitious education reform since the introduction of A-levels 70 years ago.
The funding will increase the amount of training for 16 to 19-year-olds' by 50%, to 900 hours a year.
A government spokesman said the move was part of its plan to tackle weaknesses in the UK's productivity levels, and so improve living standards.
Association of Colleges chief executive David Hughes said the announcement would make a significant and positive difference, saying technical skills and education had been overlooked for too long.
He said: "Post-Brexit Britain will need more self-sufficiency in developing skills and people will need the confidence, support and opportunities to adapt and change over 50-plus year careers."
The policy on vocational qualifications comes after a review of technical education carried out by Lord Sainsbury last year.
He said: "Targeted investment of this type makes economic sense - our international competitors recognised long ago that investing in technical education is essential to enhancing national productivity.
"But it is also essential if we are to equip people with the knowledge and skills they need to obtain rewarding and skilled employment in the future."
With Brexit looming, there is even more urgency for industry to have enough home-grown talent in the workplace.
Vocational skills and technical education have been longstanding weaknesses in England's education system.
Employers have called for more attention on worsening skills shortages rather than getting more young people into university.
This Â£500m will be a boost for raising the quality and status of workplace skills.
But school leaders have been complaining vociferously about a deepening funding crisis for basic running costs.
And this cash announcement will have head teachers wondering if they're next in line for a Budget day extra helping.


Fleetwood Town have signed striker Jordy Hiwula on a season-long loan deal from Huddersfield Town.

Hiwula, 22, spent last season on loan at fellow League One club Bradford City, where he scored nine goals in 41 appearances.
The Manchester City youth product has also had spells at Wigan Athletic, Walsall and Yeovil Town.
"We know what we are getting and that is pure quality. I'm a big fan of him," said Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler.

A man has been remanded in custody after a prison officer and hospital worker were injured in an incident at Londonderry's Altnagelvin Hospital.

Police were called to the A&E department of the hospital at about 17:40 GMT on Friday.
It followed reports a prisoner who was receiving treatment had assaulted prison and hospital staff.
The prison officer suffered a suspected broken arm and a hospital staff member a head injury.
Police said a 35-year-old man was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, attempting to escape from legal custody, criminal damage, disorderly behaviour, gbh with intent, possession of an offensive weapon and making threats to kill.
He appeared in court on Saturday and was remanded in custody.


One of the suspects in the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl has been set free by an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan.

Qari Hashim was detained in 2005 and held in jail in Hyderabad, a southern city in Pakistan, during his trial.
The court acquitted Mr Hashim because of a lack of evidence, his lawyer said.
Pearl went missing in Karachi in January 2002. A month later authorities said he had been killed after receiving video footage of his beheading.
In May 2002, a decapitated body was found in a shallow grave.
DNA test proved it was Pearl, who was South Asia bureau chief at the Wall Street Journal.
Court official Abdul Samih told the BBC that Justice Abdul Ghafoor Memon ordered Mr Hashim to be released immediately.
Omar Sheik, the alleged mastermind of the murder, was sentenced to death in 2002.
Three other men were sentenced to life imprisonment.


Ryan Christie hopes to make an immediate impression on new manager Brendan Rodgers and force his way into the Celtic team for the coming season.

The midfielder has only started two games since joining from Inverness Caledonian Thistle in September, but he hopes to become a regular next term.
"I'm hoping to hit the ground running," 21-year-old Christie said.
"We've got a lot of big games before the leagues starts, so it's important to impress the manager straight away."
Christie was sold to Celtic last summer but immediately sent back to Caley Thistle on a season-long loan cut short by a knee injury in November.
Now the manager who signed him, Ronny Deila, has been replaced with Rodgers.
"I've been really looking forward to working with him ever since he was announced," said Christie of the former Liverpool and Swansea City boss.
"I think this kind of appointment shows how big a club Celtic really is, with the manager we can still attract.
"I think in terms of the way the club wants to go, it's shows we're very very positive.
"My mindset going into training next week is it's like a clean slate and your job to impress him every day in training and try to get in his thoughts of the season ahead."
Christie is unconcerned by the recent comments by Rangers' new signing, Joey Barton, who has already stirred up the rivalry ahead of the first Old Firm fixture of the season on 10 September.
Barton said Celtic captain Scott Brown was "not in my league" as a player.
"He likes to build it up a bit more, maybe make it more exciting," Christie said of the former Burnley midfielder.
"But, to be fair, it's not anything that's going to effect us, or any of our camp.
"He can focus on Rangers and we'll focus on us.
"It doesn't really affect me. I think the way he goes about his publicity is probably good because it attracts attention.
"Maybe that's what he wants, or Rangers wants, but for us, it's nothing really."


Gordon Brown has voted for Yvette Cooper as his first preference in the Labour leadership contest.

The former prime minister's office confirmed he believed Ms Cooper was the best of the four contenders to succeed Ed Miliband.
His second preference was Andy Burnham with Liz Kendall his third choice.
Mr Brown recently made a speech warning against Labour becoming a "party of protest," which was seen as a swipe at left-wing frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn.
Mr Brown will set out his choice at the Edinburgh Book Festival at the weekend.
Meanwhile, Mr Burnham has warned "big figures from the past" against intervening in the Labour leadership contest.
In the latest in a series of BBC News interviews with each of the candidates, he said former leaders risked being seen as "lecturing" the party's members and supporters.
He said ex-leaders "needed to be listened to" but added: "If lots of people come out, the party members begin to feel they are being lectured by the higher echelons of the party."
Earlier, Mr Corbyn rejected claims by Ms Cooper and other senior figures that he would split the party.
Ms Kendall said she intended to fight on despite trailing in fourth place in the polls, saying many voters were still undecided.
The four leadership teams are due to meet Labour officials on Tuesday to discuss concerns about the ballot being hijacked by Conservative and hard-left infiltrators.
All party members, registered supporters and affiliated supporters have a vote.
More than 160,000 people signed up to vote in the final days before the registration deadline, bringing the total size of the electorate to 610,000.
New regulations allow members of the public to sign up to vote as a registered supporter for Â£3.


Germany's economy minister and vice-chancellor has defended flicking the middle finger to a group of right-wing protesters earlier this month.

Sigmar Gabriel, who is Angela Merkel's second-in-command, said his only mistake was not using both hands.
He said his critics should think about what they would do if faced with 12 "young, aggressive, swearing and ready-for-violence Nazis".
Mr Gabriel was confronted by the hecklers in northern Germany.
They called him a traitor of the people and mentioned his father's Nazi past.
Mr Gabriel has spoken openly of his father Walter, who he says was a supporter of Hitler's Nazi party and denied the Holocaust until his death in 2012.
In a video released on social media of the incident, one of the protesters can be heard shouting: "Your father loved his country. And what are you doing? You're ruining it."
At the time, his political party the Social Democratic Party (SPD) called it an "emotional reaction" and released a statement saying: "Obviously Sigmar Gabriel does not regard that gesture to be an appropriate form of everyday communication, but communication was not possible with bellowing neo-Nazis who were clearly prepared to use violence."


The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have trekked in the Himalayas to Bhutan's Tiger Nest monastery.

They took time to soak up the panoramic views surrounding the 17th century monastery, formally known as Paro Taktsang, during a three-hour walk.
Situated about 10,000ft (3,000m) above sea level and on a cliff face, the monastery is considered to be one of the holiest for the Bhutanese people.
The royal pair are taking part in a seven-day tour of India and Bhutan.
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge walked hand in hand for part of the hike.

Bhutan: A land of revered royalty, tree-planting and happiness
"It was quite tough on the way up," Prince William said after completing the challenge, while the duchess added the journey was a "great way to burn off the curry".
The couple, who arrived in the kingdom on a flight from India on Thursday, in the evening attended a reception for British nationals in Bhutan and Bhutanese people with strong links to the UK.
The duchess wore a full-length red chiffon gown featuring a poppy pattern - a nod to the Himalayan blue poppy which is Bhutan's national symbol - by British fashion house Beulah, one of the her favourite designers.
William and Kate's route up to the Tiger's Nest trailed through a pine forest on the slopes of the hill.
The duchess was dressed in a white blouse, leather jerkin, leggings and calf-length boots, while Prince William wore chinos and a blue shirt and walking boots.
The hike to the monastery, which was built in 1692, was one which the Prince of Wales half completed in 1998, but hampered by a polo injury he decided to sketch the scenery rather than continue to the top.
On arriving at the summit the duchess said: "Wow, that's amazing", while Prince William, admiring the architecture, said: "Look at the roof, it's cool. What a great view."
Sonam Penjor, 34, who works in the Bhutan information department, said: "Prince Charles came here before in 1998, but he only made it to the cafeteria, the halfway point. So he took some nice shots but he was not able to come to this point.
"Maybe the altitude affected him. I think his son and daughter-in-law wanted to beat him.
"They wanted to recapture his father's memories but go further. And maybe later George and Charlotte will come to follow in their parents' footsteps."
The monastery is near the cave where Guru Padmasambhava - who is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan - is said to have meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, and three days in the 8th Century.
The monastery partially burnt down in 2008 and took two years to rebuild.
On Thursday evening, they had a private dinner on Thursday with  Bhutan's King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema.
They are due to return to India to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra, on Saturday, before returning to the UK the following day.


Plans have been submitted to convert a former newspaper building into a school.

Northcliffe House, in Meadow Road, Derby, has been empty since the Derby Telegraph relocated to new premises nearer the city centre in 2014.
The application is by Al-Khair Foundation, a Muslim charity which already has a school in Croydon.
The plans, for a nursery, primary and secondary school, will now be considered by Derby City Council.


Former New Zealand wing Jonah Lomu, the all-time leading try scorer in World Cup history, believes England will have to deal with more expectation than the All Blacks during the World Cup.

New Zealand are bidding to retain the trophy while England, the hosts, face Australia and Wales in the pool stages.
"There is going to be a lot of pressure on New Zealand but the majority of it is on England," Lomu told BBC Sport.
"It's their home tournament - they are playing in front of their own fans."
Media playback is not supported on this device
England, who are looking to win the Webb Ellis Trophy for the first time since 2003, kick off the tournament against Fiji on Friday at Twickenham.
Lomu believes Stuart Lancaster's side should embrace the challenge of facing the Wallabies and Wales, who are both in the World Rugby rankings' top five.
"You come to the World Cup to play against the best of the best," said the 40-year-old.
"England need to play their game. If they can control their emotions and play to their ability, they should be there or thereabouts in terms of winning the pool.
"But the beauty about World Cups is that you get surprises.
"In 2011 it was Tonga knocking over France. Anything can happen."
New Zealand skipper Richie McCaw, the most capped player in Test history, could announce his retirement after the tournament.
"No-one has ever won it back-to-back and the All Blacks will be trying to do it, but there are six or seven teams who can knock each other over," said Lomu.
"They have to make sure they have prepared well.
"It would be immense for Richie [to win the trophy] as he has got a very impressive record.
"He is leading his team and making sure he keeps his mind in the game, and not worry about when he should retire or when he shouldn't."
South Africa winger Bryan Habana is five tries short of Lomu's all-time World Cup record of 15. But Lomu is not concerned about the Springboks star surpassing him.
Habana needs just one more score to become the fourth man to score 60 tries at Test level.
"I'm not worried about it," he said. "When I set the record, I did it in two World Cups and he's coming into his third - that's the difference.
"But Bryan is a great player. You can't take anything away from him as he has represented South Africa for a number of years and done something amazing."


British actor Hugh Laurie said he had "lived a life of extraordinary good fortune" as his star was unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Laurie made his name in the US for his award-winning lead role in the medical drama House between 2004 and 2012.
Long-time collaborator Stephen Fry was guest speaker at the Pig 'n Whistle British pub on Hollywood Boulevard.
Laurie joins Britons including Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Sir Ridley Scott and Dame Helen Mirren to have stars.
His star is number 2,593 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Laurie became TV's highest-paid actor and won Golden Globe awards in 2006 and 2007 for his portrayal of doctor Gregory House.
The 57-year-old from Oxford was already well-known in Britain for his TV sketch show with Fry, and other series such as Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster.
More recently he starred opposite Tom Hiddleston in BBC drama The Night Manager.
Laurie said: "This is not a fair world. I'm 57 now and I've lived a life of extraordinary good fortune from start to finish, so much so I'm anticipating a piano falling on my head to redress the balance.
"I've been incredibly lucky. I'm going to bask in this extraordinary honour and my extraordinary good luck and I'll set to work first thing tomorrow on the global unfairness problem."
Fry paid tribute to his former comedy partner, saying: "While he may not be the first wise and kind star to be set in a paving slab in old Hollywood, I venture to suggest no star was ever wiser or kinder.
"I can say like Doctor Watson of his friend Holmes, the kindest and wisest friend I ever knew."


A Russian whistleblower who died in Surrey in 2012 had suspected criminal links that were being investigated by Interpol, a hearing was told.

The pre-inquest hearing was told Surrey Police would have been aware of the claims about Alexander Perepilichny.
The force was asked why it wants some documents in its possession to be kept secret, but Surrey Police said the line of questioning was irrelevant.
Mr Perepilichny, 44, died after collapsing near his home in Weybridge.
The inquest heard Interpol was investigating Mr Perepilichny's suspected previous involvement with Russian criminal gangs.
A communication from Interpol to the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (Soca) in 2010 claimed Mr Perepilichny was suspected of "fraud, money laundering and abuse of power".
Hermitage Capital Management, one of the interested parties at the inquest, said it suggested Surrey Police knew of his alleged criminal links and that this contradicted public statements made by the force to that end.
Surrey Police was asked if a move to keep some documents secret under public interest immunity rules had anything to do with a suggestion that Mr Perepilichny was "running with" or being "run by" British intelligence.
A representative for the force said this had been answered in previous hearings.
And a counsel to the inquest confirmed there were no outstanding issues for Surrey Police to answer.
Mr Perepilichny's death was originally attributed to natural causes but an earlier pre-inquest hearing heard traces of a rare poison were found in his stomach.
His death was also said to have parallels with the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko.
The earlier hearing heard that like Mr Litvinenko, Mr Perepilichny had apparently received threats, particularly after handing over sensitive documents to Hermitage Capital Management.
That had led to the freezing of foreign bank accounts belonging to a group of Russian officials suspected of money laundering after a tax fraud, the hearing was told.
The hearing continues.


Hundreds of people have attended a meeting to discuss the fallout from the Trojan Horse inspections of Birmingham schools.

The Bordesley Centre in Camp Hill heard concerns about inspection reports linked to an anonymous letter alleging an Islamic takeover plot of schools.
A number of speakers told the crowd they believed the reports were biased.
Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw has previously agreed to meet parents and children from the affected schools.


A 19-year-old man has been charged with grievous bodily harm after a stabbing in west Belfast left a 51-year-old man critically ill in hospital.

The attack happened in Vere Foster Walk in the early hours of Saturday.
The man is due before Belfast Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
Another 19-year-old, Aidan Muir, from Springhill Grove in the city, appeared in court on Monday and was released on bail.
Muir was allegedly armed with a pair of scissors and a hammer during the attack.
He faces charges of possessing an offensive weapon, burglary and causing grievous bodily harm.
A 26-year-old man, also arrested in connection with the stabbing, has been bailed pending further inquiries.


Dagenham & Redbridge's positive start to the season continued with a 1-0 win at home to Lincoln.

After an even opening, the hosts took the lead when Oliver Hawkins flicked on a long ball and Luke Guttridge caressed the ball over the onrushing Paul Farman.
Adam Marriott tried to respond for the Imps in the second half, but shot just wide.
Lincoln boss Danny Cowley was left to rue a big miss for his side 15 minutes from time. Jack Muldoon and substitute Harry Anderson delivered the ball to Jonny Margetts, who lashed over when well-placed from 12 yards.
The Daggers were content to hold on and see out a third win in four to start the campaign.

The former chancellor George Osborne peppered media interviews with references to the "Northern Powerhouse", but what's next for the idea since his departure?

In a 2014 speech, Mr Osborne said: "I'm here to talk to you today about what we can do to make the cities of the north a powerhouse for our economy."
The project, which he branded as his own initiative, was aimed at ending the UK's economic reliance on London.
Following Theresa May's Cabinet Reshuffle, Conservative MP Andrew Percy has been appointed as the new Northern Powerhouse minister. So what's the future of this key Conservative manifesto pledge?
"We're not going to miss George Osborne's personal leadership on the Northern Powerhouse," said Julie Dore, Labour leader of Sheffield City Council.
"What people forget is that northern council leaders have been working on this idea long before the former chancellor came up with the slogan."
It's certainly true that councils in the North have a chequered history of trying to work together, but Mr Osborne's slick promotion of the Northern Powerhouse as a brand resonated widely.
Graham Robb, chairman of the North East Institute of Directors, said it had become an internationally-useful "marketing tool".
He said: "That slogan has had a big impact, especially with businesses buying into it.
"In March we commissioned a survey of people across the North and found that only 20% had a negative opinion of the concept.
"I think this underlines the strength of the idea and the brand and I hope we don't lose that."
So has the Northern Powerhouse policy made a difference?
The government says foreign investment in the north of England has doubled over the past two years, with the number of unemployed dropping by 127,000.
But Irwin Mitchell research found that only two of the fastest growing towns and cities in England are in the North.
Mr Percy, MP for Brigg and Goole, heard of his new ministerial role while attending a Bar Mitzvah and proceeded to celebrate with a McDonald's meal.
He said: "I'm a proud northerner. I've lived here all my life and for me when you get out of London it's clear that our economy hasn't been working for everyone.
"I want to work with the Department for Transport on getting High Speed Rail 3 to connect Liverpool to Hull and I want to ensure more people have got access to a proper high speed broadband connection."
At the moment, 11 areas across England have signed deals with the government to devolve powers away from Westminster with big city regions such as Manchester and Liverpool set to elect new mayors.
Mr Percy expects all those deals to be honoured, but he wouldn't be drawn on whether the 27 other areas who have submitted bids for their own devolution packages will get the same treatment.
"I've just got the job so I can't comment in too much detail, but what I can say is that I want to see as many people as possible benefit from the process of devolution," he said.
Talking to those within the corridors of power, they say they expect the current devolution plans to be implemented, while the rhetoric about the Northern Powerhouse will now be quietly dialled down.
Shortly before Mrs May was told she was going to be prime minister, she called for a plan "to help not one or even two of our great regional cities but every single one of them".
"I'll be relieved if the government stops just talking about Manchester," said Ms Dore.
The Northern Powerhouse 2.0 lives on. You might just not hear the government talk about it as much in the future.


Actor and comedian Sir Lenny Henry is to present a 10-part radio documentary on the history of black British theatre and screen.

Raising the Bar will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in November.
The series is part of the BBC's On Stage season, celebrating theatre in the UK.
Sir Lenny said it will highlight the "history and struggle of black British creativity" over the last century.
Trinidadian playwright Mustapha Matura, actor and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah and theatre director Paulette Randall are among interviewees.
"This Radio 4 series covers a huge span of black British theatre, TV and film - from Ira Aldridge to Steve McQueen and Nina Baden-Semper to Bola Agbaje - it's a great sweep of history that excites and stimulates the imagination," Sir Lenny said.
"It is easy to forget that there were precedents to our current age of BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) breakthroughs and by talking to the likes of Roy Williams and Mustapha Matura, we acknowledge that the young reach their current heights by standing on the shoulders of those that went before."
Sir Lenny has been a prominent campaigner for greater ethnic diversity in the arts.
He is part of BBC director general Tony Hall's working group - which includes broadcaster Floella Benjamin and DJ Nihal - to improve diversity at the corporation.
In December last year, he guest edited the Today programme on Radio 4.
It featured interviews with people who helped to break down racial barriers a generation ago, and asked what progress was still needed in fields such as broadcasting, sport and business.
Last year, delivering a lecture to Bafta, the comedian said funds should be set aside to boost the presence of BAME people in the broadcasting industry.
He put the presence of those from BAME backgrounds in the creative industry at 5.4%, a figure he described as "appalling".
BBC On Stage will be broadcast across radio, television and online in November as a push to get people involved in the creative arts.
The season will also include the previously announced adaptation of The Dresser starring Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Anthony Hopkins.


Beach-goers in Argentina have been criticised after reportedly taking endangered dolphins from the sea to take selfies.

Pictures posted on social media show a crowd of people holding and touching a dolphin in the city of Santa Teresita.
The photos sparked condemnation from wildlife experts and social media users.
The Franciscana dolphin is vulnerable to extinction, and conservationists say only 30,000 of them live in the wild.
An Argentine wildlife foundation said that two dolphins were found by beach-goers and that at least one of them was dead.
A video of the incident appears to show a man taking one dolphin from the sea and walking around with it.
In pictures posted on Facebook, dozens of people are seen around the animal, touching it and taking photos.
It is not clear if the dolphin was alive or already dead or if the images are of the same animal.
The Franciscan or Del Plata dolphin is one of the smallest in the world, measuring between 1.3m (4.2ft) and 1.7m (5.5ft), the foundation said. They can be found only in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.
After the images emerged, the Vida Silvestre Foundation, a conservation group, issued a warning, telling people to help the animal return to the water if they are found stranded "so history will not repeat itself".
Users on social media also condemned the incident, with many calling it the result of "stupidity" and "ignorance".


Residents angry at the proposed demolition of their homes as part of the regeneration of an estate have challenged councillors about the plans.

More than 300 people from the Sheerwater estate in Surrey attended a public meeting chaired by Woking Borough Council on Tuesday evening.
Amanda Mahoney, of the Sheerwater Residents Committee, said people were still "looking for answers".
Councillor David Bittleston said the consultation process was ongoing.
Residents claim they have not been consulted about the plans, which would see homes demolished and new ones built in their place.
Ms Mahoney said they had caused "great distress on so many levels", with many home owners unable to afford to re-buy, and council tenants facing temporary accommodation and a possible 40% rent increase.
The estate was originally built after World War Two, to house families that relocated from London.
Mr Bittleston said: "Housing has moved on, and here's an opportunity to create something really, really nice."
He explained the redevelopment would be phased over seven years.
Houses would initially be built on an area of green space, with people moved into them before the old ones were knocked down.
The green space would then be replaced, as required by law, he said.
"There may be one or two people who have to be moved off the estate... we will give them priority in terms of returning.
"It's our intention to build a new community there with 300 new families moving in."
Mr Bittleston said owner-occupiers would get a good deal.
"The value of their house will be calculated by the independent Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors without blight, so therefore it will be a current value for the house," he said.
The new estate will boast a retail centre, leisure centre, sports facilities, park, public square, community facilities and better transport links.


Britain's Martyn Rooney says he would rather receive his Beijing Olympic bronze medal at the Anniversary Games than at the World Championships.

GB's 2008 men's 4x400m relay team moved up from fourth to third after Russia's Denis Alekseyev failed a drugs test when his sample was retested.
It had been suggested the medal ceremony could take place at the World Championships in London in August.
But next month's Anniversary Games also take place at London's Olympic Stadium.
A decision is yet to be made on when Rooney and team-mates Andrew Steele, Robert Tobin and Michael Bingham will receive their medals.
Rooney, 30, told BBC Radio 5 live: "I don't want to be distracted. I need to go to the World Championships and focus on that, so if we could get it done at the Diamond League, I'd love that.
"There's no way of getting back to Beijing and doing it that way, but if we can go to an Olympic stadium and be in front of a British crowd, that would be amazing.
"But whatever happens, whenever it happens, I just can't wait to get on that podium."
The International Olympic Committee has reallocated medals from Beijing after Alekseyev and compatriots Anastasiya Kapachinskaya and Inga Abitova tested positive for banned substance Turinabol.
Britain's women's 4x400m relay team have also moved into the bronze medal position.
Christine Ohuruogu, Kelly Sotherton, Marilyn Okoro and Nicola Sanders finished the race fifth but have moved up to third as a result of both third-placed Russia and fourth-placed Belarus being disqualified due to subsequent failed tests.
The men's Beijing medals are in the possession of the British Olympic Association and British Athletics but an announcement is still to be made on where they will be awarded.
They could be presented at next month's Diamond League Anniversary Games, or at the World Championships in London in August.
But, as the World Championships is an IAAF event, the IOC would have to give permission for any presentation to take place as Olympic medals fall under their jurisdiction.
British Athletics does not have possession of medals for the women's 4x400m team yet as legal proceedings are ongoing regarding athletes in their race.
Britons Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, Jo Pavey, Sotherton and Goldie Sayers are among those waiting to receive Olympic and World Championship medals they were denied by drugs cheats.
Sayers has told the Guardian she would be "gutted" if she did not receive her medal at the World Championships this summer.


Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has visited England's rugby union team to share ideas with head coach Eddie Jones.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Jones, 57, has won all 15 of his Tests since England's World Cup exit, and his side are on a 16-game winning streak.
Conte has similarly rejuvenated Chelsea during his first season in England, with the Blues eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
"Eddie is a winner and he is transferring that mentality on to the team," Conte, 47, told England Rugby.
"It is important for me to compare my work and experience with another sport to gain inspiration and tactical ideas for the future.
"It was very interesting to observe another sport and the differences between the two."
Jones invited his football counterpart Gareth Southgate to Pennyhill Park earlier this month.
The Australian's team are preparing for Sunday's Six Nations match against Italy at Twickenham (15:00 GMT, live on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra).
Jones' men will be seeking a 17th successive Test win, which would see them move within one of New Zealand's record.
Chelsea, meanwhile, play Swansea on Saturday, looking for a 12th home win from 13 league games this season.


There is no evidence so far that a gunman who attacked Canada's parliament had links to Middle Eastern Islamist extremists, the government has said.

Foreign Minister John Baird told the BBC gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was "certainly radicalised", but was not on a list of high-risk individuals.
Zehaf-Bibeau killed a soldier at Ottawa's war memorial before being shot dead in the nearby parliament building.
Police have released video showing how the gunman stormed parliament.
It has also emerged that Prime Minister Stephen Harper hid in a cupboard in parliament for about 15 minutes during Wednesday's attack as MPs sharpened flagpoles to use as spears against the gunman.
Mr Baird told the BBC there were no substantiated claims yet that Zehaf-Bibeau was associated with Islamic State.
Mr Baird said he was "tremendously concerned about the number of Canadians who are radicalised and are fighting in Syria or Iraq, but we don't have any evidence to link the two at this stage".
"Reports suggest that well in excess of 100 Canadians have gone to fight jihad in the Middle East and that's a huge concern," he said.
Mr Baird also said Zehaf-Bibeau could have done much more damage than he did.
"For several minutes it was complete horror, complete terror, we didn't know whether the door was going to be kicked in, whether there was one or a group of people," he said.
Daniel Lang, chairman of the Senate national defence and security committee, told the BBC: "It was an ordeal I would not recommend anybody endure - there was just a wall's difference between where we were and where they were."
He said the incident had "shown our vulnerability and the reality that life here has changed dramatically".
Mr Lang said most parliamentarians had been calling for greater security and "this event proves there should be".
More details have emerged of the attack.
One source told the Globe and Mail that MPs had flanked the doors of their meeting room, preparing to attack the gunman with sharpened flagpoles.
"These guys were up there holding these spears ready to impale anyone who came in," the source said.
Mr Harper was placed in a cupboard - described as little more than a "cubbyhole" in the Centre Block after the gunfire rang out, the report said.
The video released by police shows various phases of Wednesday's attack.
The gunman is first shown hijacking a minister's car, then speeding off towards Centre Block, pursued by police.
At Centre Block he left the stolen car and ran into the building, exchanging gunfire with House of Commons security officers and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers.
He was ultimately shot dead by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, a former senior RCMP officer, who received a standing ovation in parliament on Thursday when he resumed his duties.
Zehaf-Bibeau's mother, Susan Bibeau, told the Associated Press that she had lunch with her son last week - their first meeting in five years.
She said her son seemed lost and "did not fit in".
"Can you ever explain something like this?" she said. "We are sorry."
At a news conference on Thursday, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said Zehaf-Bibeau was not linked to the Muslim convert who on Monday killed a Canadian soldier in Quebec in a hit-and-run attack.
However, Zehaf-Bibeau was trying to get a passport to travel to Syria.
Mr Paulson said: "I think the passport figured prominently in his motives."
The suspect: A trail of petty crime


Police are investigating an attempted murder outside a nightclub in Greenock.

A 19-year-old man was left seriously injured after being attacked at the Red club in Cross Shore Street at about 02:20.
The teenager was taken to Inverclyde Royal Hospital, where officers described his condition as being serious but stable.
Police Scotland have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.


AFC Wimbledon climbed into the League One play-off places courtesy of victory at Peterborough.

The only goal arrived during a first half of Dons dominance as Neal Ardley's men extended their unbeaten run to eight league matches.
It was provided by Tom Elliott when he nodded in after Jon Meades had headed a 10th-minute George Francomb corner back across goal.
Francomb's next corner almost led to the Dons doubling their lead as Chris Whelpdale's header was saved before Jake Reeves' follow-up was blocked.
Only the combination of Posh goalkeeper Luke McGee and the woodwork came to the hosts' rescue just before the half-hour. McGee saved Elliott's initial effort before the frontman guided the follow-up against a post.
It took Posh 43 minutes to test Dons keeper James Shea. Callum Chettle's low shot drew ironic cheers from home fans and the hosts also offered little in the second period until Andrew Hughes saw a stoppage-time header tipped over.
Elliott came closest to doubling the lead after the break when his lob bounced off the far post but his earlier goal proved enough.

Essex have signed former Sussex all-rounder Ashar Zaidi on a one-year deal.

The 34-year-old Pakistan-born left-hander was released by Sussex in September after two seasons at Hove.
Last month he was named the Bangladesh Premier League's player of the tournament after scoring 215 runs at an average of 53.75 and taking 17 wickets.
"When you consider his batting abilities, this really makes sense at this moment in time," said Essex head coach Chris Silverwood.
"We have a number of young players coming through, so someone with Ashar's experience will be invaluable to the group.
"We believe he can make an impact across all three competitions this coming season."
Zaidi has scored more than 5,000 first-class runs, including 12 centuries, and taken 89 wickets at an average of 30.32
"I hope to be able to continue my good form from this winter into the new season," he said.
"Having spoken to a few of the players at Essex, I know they are all excited for the new season under Chris Silverwood and I look forward to linking up with everyone over the next few weeks."


Manchester City and Belgium captain Vincent Kompany will learn on Monday if he will be fit for Euro 2016, according to City manager Manuel Pellegrini.

The defender suffered a groin injury during City's Champions League semi-final second-leg defeat to Real Madrid on Wednesday.
"At this moment we don't know the results of the examination," Pellegrini said. "On Monday we will know.
"It is difficult to know about the Euros without the diagnosis."
Thirty-year-old Kompany has suffered five separate injuries this season, playing just 22 matches out of a possible 57, but Pellegrini rejected accusations he had mismanaged the centre-back.
"Every time he was in the starting 11 he was fully fit," he said. "You can be sure of that."
Kompany's absence would be a blow to Belgium, who are grouped with Italy, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland at the Euros.
Chelsea's Eden Hazard is Belgium's vice-captain and has led the side in previous games when Kompany has been unavailable.


A Mexican official confirmed on Tuesday that eight Mexican tourists were among the 12 people who died in an attack by the Egyptian army.

The 12 were mistakenly killed by Egyptian security forces in an anti-terror operation on Sunday.
Egypt says it mistook the tourists for Islamist militants, whom its forces were pursuing in the Western Desert.
It has apologised, but has insisted the group were in a restricted area. Local sources deny the claim.
Egypt has been battling Islamist militants for years, with attacks escalating since the 2013 ousting of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
Until recently most of the fighting has taken place in the Sinai Peninsula with occasional attacks taking place in Cairo and other cities.
Two of the dead have been identified as Luis Barajas Fernandez and Maria de Lourdes Fernandez Rubio.
Another one of those dead is believed to be Rafael Bejarano Rangel, whose relatives were told by tour organisers that he was among those killed.
Reyna Torres, who heads the Mexican foreign ministry's department for the protection of nationals abroad, said forensic test were still being carried out on the other bodies.
Ten people, among them six Mexicans were also injured in the attack.
Mexico's Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu is travelling to Cairo with some of the relatives.
The tour group had been travelling in a convoy of four 4x4s near the Bahariya oasis, a popular tourist location. The organisers said they had stopped for a picnic when the group was attacked.
The interior ministry said an Apache helicopter targeted the tourists "by mistake".
Egypt's ambassador to Mexico City, Yasser Shaban, said the tourists' 4x4 vehicles resembled those used by the militants the security forces were chasing.
David Diaz Bejarano, the nephew of Rafael Bejarano Rangel, said his relatives regularly travelled to the area.
"They've been going to Egypt for the past 10 years and every year they go to this place once or twice," he told BBC Mundo.
He said that his uncle's idea of travelling to the Western Desert was to find space to reflect. "It was a spiritual journey," he said.
Mr Bejarano Rangel's mother, Maricela Rangel, is among those wounded.
According to relatives, Ms Rangel was the one who had been organising the trips from Mexico to Egypt for a decade.
They said that she had been using the same group of guides, whom she trusted.
Correction: An earlier version of this story mistakenly stated that the relatives had already arrived in Egypt.


Claims a man received a death threat over a drug debt before he was found dead at sea have halted an inquest.

The body of Austin Bellew, 41, from Llandudno, Conwy county, was found off Hoylake, Wirral, in February.
His sister, Sandra, told the hearing officers were "dismissive" of the threat claim and did not investigate.
The inquest at Ruthin, Denbighshire, was adjourned with North Wales Police given 28 days to provide a statement.
Mr Bellew had been missing for a month when his body was found six miles off shore by a boat crew.
His sister said: "There are too many question marks about how he ended upon the sea", with the family raising concerns about an "insufficient police investigation".
Adjourning the inquest, North Wales East and Central assistant coroner Nicola Jones said: "We might not get any further and if the police did carry out an investigation, then fine."
