The head of cycling's world governing body Brian Cookson would be "surprised and disappointed" if an investigation into Team Sky and British Cycling finds evidence of wrongdoing.

Cookson ran British Cycling for 17 years, becoming UCI president in 2013.
UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) officials are investigating allegations against Team Sky, which they deny.
The allegations surround therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) and the administering of medication to riders.
Former Team Sky rider Jonathan Tiernan-Locke said last week painkiller Tramadol was "freely offered" when he was riding for Great Britain at the 2012 World Championships.
British Cycling vice chairman Charlie Jackson dismissed claims of a crisis.
He added: "It's been a rollercoaster for a period of time, that is true. We'll fight through this, there are a lot of good people, good volunteers in the sport."
Cookson said Team Sky was established in 2010 so that British Cycling could "trust the development of our riders in a safe, clean environment with the highest levels of integrity".
"In my time as British Cycling president we insisted on the highest possible standards of integrity in anti-doping. I would be surprised and disappointed if things have not been continued at that level," Cookson said. "Let's see what this investigation produces."
Talking about British Cycling's thinking behind setting up Team Sky, Cookson recalled: "We were developing young riders, we were taking them virtually all the way to the top but then for that last few percentage we had to put them in the trust of organisations over which we had no knowledge and very little control.
"We saw the ethical and integrity issues that resulted from that."
Ukad has met with British Cycling's "full co-operation", while Team Sky says it is "confident there has been no wrongdoing" following an internal review.


Kites of all shapes and sizes have taken to the skies at the Bristol International Kite Festival.

The two-day festival began on Saturday at a new site on the Clifton and Durdham Downs.
Kites have flown in from America and New Zealand for the event, which includes spectacular ocean giants, kite fighting battles and mass ascents.
The Festival is supporting the Great Western Air Ambulance and the Bristol 2015 Green Capital City celebrations.


Gloucester number eight Ben Morgan could be forgiven for describing 2015 as something of a rollercoaster.

He spent much of it recovering from a horrific leg injury, but against all the odds, still made England's World Cup squad, and ended the year by becoming a father for the first time.
His hopes for 2016 are quite simple, to care for his son, Finn, and stay injury-free.
However, there is also the small matter of making new England head coach Eddie Jones' first Six Nations squad.
"As far as international rugby comes, you have to be playing well for your club and this weekend is another opportunity," Morgan told BBC Gloucestershire ahead of this weekend's meeting with Exeter Chiefs.
"As far as I'm aware they are just speaking to the directors of rugby and I'm just keeping my head down and just get back into the swing of things.
"If he (Eddie Jones) wants to select me that will be great but I'm happy playing here."
Gloucester travel to Sandy Park on Saturday and Morgan will come up against the Exeter number eight Thomas Waldrom, who was this week voted the Premiership's forward of the month award for December.
Morgan has 31 caps, while Waldrom - six years his senior at 32 - has only represented England five times, but seems to get better with age, having topped the Premiership try-scoring list last season with 16.
"I always enjoy playing against good number eights and he is fine form, playing really well," said Morgan. "I'm really excited to go down there and come up against him.
"We've started to come together, put some big performances in and it's a great place to go, Sandy Park, and I'm really excited to be going down there.
"It'll be a big clash, we tend to have some ding dong battles down there. We need to tighten up our defence and put them under some pressure."
Morgan, 26, suffered his season-ending injury against Saracens exactly a year ago on Saturday, but still managed to make England's team for the World Cup, and came off the bench against Fiji and Australia.
He was given a break by Gloucester in November after an intense 11 months of rehab and subsequent appearances at the Rugby World Cup in September.
"I was fortunate to get the time to refresh, it was a pretty full on year. Breaking the leg, doing the rehab, making the World Cup and then straight back into it. I feel really good and cannot wait to get stuck back in."
He added: "I'm only going to improve the more time I put between myself and the injury. My body is adjusting to an alien thing being in there, a bit of metal, but I feel good and really confident with it."

Morgan's wife Alice, gave birth to son Finn as 2015 drew to a close.
It was, as for all new parents, a life-changing event - and Morgan is still adjusting.
"It's pretty awesome, lack of sleep but it's been great," he said. "He was born on New Year's Eve. We just got home, it wasn't quiet, it was different."


Edinburgh's Christmas festival has reported a 40% rise in ticket buyers on the previous year.

There were over half a million tickets sold for shows and attractions and footfall was up 5% in the city centre.
Officials said the increase could, in part, be due to a discount scheme for local residents following complaints.
Meanwhile, Edinburgh City Council denied reports of crushing at the city's Hogmanay celebrations.
It said it would be carrying out the usual review of Hogmanay celebrations with the event organisers and emergency services.
Officials said parts of the cordoned off area at the top of the mound were busy but they denied there was congestion or crushing. No one was injured.
Charlie Wood, Edinburgh's Christmas producer, said: "We are obviously thrilled at the figures. It demonstrates the scale and attraction of the festival.
"We set out to make Edinburgh's Christmas one of the world's best places to be at Christmas time and these figures show that we're on our way to achieving that.
"It is also gratifying to note that almost one in five of the tickets sold was at a special discount offered to local families - showing that we listened to concerns from the previous year, addressed them and helped deliver a Christmas celebration for the residents of Edinburgh.
"As ever, we will be working in the next few months to see what worked well, what didn't work so well, and how we can improve the festival to make sure that next year's is an even greater success for the people of the city and visitors to the city to look forward to and enjoy."
Steve Cardownie, Edinburgh's festivals and events champion, said: "Our winter festivals are the envy of the world and rightly so.
"This has been another record-breaking year, and the huge boost to footfall is good news for city centre businesses and the local economy."


Republic of Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane says Everton players must "toughen up" in an ongoing row with Goodison boss Ronald Koeman.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Koeman has advised midfielder James McCarthy not to join the Ireland squad after previously saying he had been "massively overloaded" by the Republic.
Republic manager Martin O'Neill said this week that Koeman was "bleating" about the matter.
Keane added: "Maybe Everton need to look at their own training schedule."
McCarthy, 25, has been ruled out of the Republic's World Cup qualifier against Austria on Saturday because of a hamstring injury.
He has missed most of his club's season because of injury but played in the Republic's qualifier wins over Georgia and Moldova last month.
That angered Everton boss Koeman, who has only seen McCarthy play 33 minutes of competitive action for the Premier League club since then.
However, Keane says he "could not care less" about Koeman's concerns - and also criticised previous Toffees manager Roberto Martinez.
"Everton traditionally have always had brilliant Irish players doing well for the football club, so they shouldn't be so quick to stop Irish players coming to play for Ireland," said the former Manchester United midfielder.
"We have had a problem previously with Martinez - I think he was slightly over the top.
"Every time, we felt, the Everton players were turning up - and this is not a criticism of the players, this is more from Everton and their staff - they were always carrying knocks.
"I always felt the Everton players were going to turn up on crutches or crawling in the hotel door, and now it looks like we are probably going to have that issue again with Koeman. I hope not.
"Maybe Everton as a club need to - and it's a brilliant football club - maybe their players need to toughen up a little bit."

Shopworker Richard Ellery, 21, was on a rare trip to the capital on the morning of 7 July.

The employee of the Ipswich branch of camera chain Jessops had just been swapped from part-time to full-time work and was making his way to a training course at the firm's Kensington store.
He had intended to get up at 0600 BST to catch his train to London but "true to form" did not awake until 0630 BST and had to rush to the station.
In a text to his mother at 0830 BST he said he was en route, as his train reached Liverpool Street station.
But Richard never arrived at the course and his parents, who live in Southampton, and his flatmate tried to contact him when they saw the news.
His father Trevor travelled to London the following day with the family's local vicar, carrying a picture of his son in an effort to track him down.
Richard Ellery's younger brother Tim, 19, and his Ipswich flatmate, Tom Stopani, also made the trip to help.
Confirmation of his death on the Aldgate-bound Tube train came several days later.
At the inquest, a firefighter said Mr Ellery was able to give his name as he arrived at the scene but died before medics reached the carriage.
A statement from the family at the time said: "Richard was a fun-loving boy - full of enthusiasm for life.
"He will be sorely missed by all of his family and close friends."
New phase
Mr Ellery was born in the Shirley area of Southampton on 19 April 1984, the oldest of three brothers.
He attended Wordsworth Infants School, Shirley Junior School, Bellemoor secondary school and Tauntons College.
Mr Ellery was a big music fan and had a saying that he "didn't like to listen to music, he liked to hear it".
After leaving school at 18, he found jobs in retail, at a mortgage company office and in the building industry. He was once keen to become a plasterer and worked on the family house when it was improved in 2003.
In March 2005, he left the family home to move in with two school friends in Ipswich and found work at Jessops.
He enjoyed his new job and used to return to his flatmates enthusing about the latest gadgets.
In a letter to the inquest, Mr Ellery's father said his son had "grown into a confident and very sociable man" and "had been beginning a new and very positive phase in his life".
His new employer closed all its 280 stores for the national two-minute silence on 14 July 2005.
The manager of the Ipswich branch, David Gunn, said Richard had become a very popular member of staff in the five weeks he had been working there.
In his police statement, Mr Stopani said: "Richard also had a knack of making you feel better just by talking to him. You would go to him with a moan or a gripe and come away feeling so much better, but Richard would just say he had done nothing."


Police have appealed for witnesses over a two-car crash in South Ayrshire which left an 11-year-old boy in a critical condition and three others injured.

The boy and a 13-year-old girl were passengers in a black Ford Focus that collided with a blue Mini on Old Loans Road, Dundonald, at 08:20 on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old man who was driving the Ford sustained minor injuries. The girl is in a stable condition in hospital.
The 49-year-old woman who was driving the Mini is also in a stable condition.
Police said the boy suffered a serious head injury in the crash.
Both he and the girl were taken to hospital for treatment.
The woman who was driving the Mini is being treated in Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock.
Old Loans Road was closed for about eight hours to allow police to investigate the crash.
They have appealed for any witnesses to the crash, or anyone who was on Old Loans Road at the time of the incident, to get in touch.


Championship side Fulham have signed Standard Liege midfielder Ibrahima Cisse on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Belgian Cisse, who can also play as a right-back, made 27 appearances for Standard last season.
The 23-year-old joined KVV Mechelen in June 2014, before returning to his hometown club ahead of last season.
"I am looking forward to showing my qualities and what I can do," he told the club website.

Tall, bearded and wearing a pained expression, an elderly Saudi man called Jaber stands before the ruins of his family house in the town of Najran, just north of the border with war-torn Yemen.

The whitewashed walls of his house are pockmarked with blast marks and jagged holes gouged by flying shrapnel.
"Yesterday at 5.15 in the afternoon," he told me, "came an explosion from Yemen. My family were sitting just over there," he pointed to an abandoned mattress on the ground.
"Thank God they survived. In this house there are five families living hereâ€¦ There are children and women and old men here. What have they done to deserve this? It is not right."
Shortly after we left, seven more missiles landed in the neighbourhood, injuring several people and reportedly killing two.
Saudi Civil Defence workers say they were fired indiscriminately by Houthi rebels from across the border in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia is at war.
You wouldn't know it on the peaceful streets of its capital, Riyadh, but hundreds of miles to the south the civil war that has torn apart neighbouring Yemen is spilling over the border into Saudi towns and villages.
Saudi officials say more than 500 of their citizens have been killed by the Yemen war, a number dwarfed by the thousands killed in Yemen itself, but still a shock for this otherwise tranquil kingdom that is home to the holiest sites in Islam and is also the world's biggest oil producer.
We visited the ruins of a girls' elementary school in the village of Khawber, hit by a Houthi missile in the middle of the night.
In the shattered classroom the school clock lay on the floor, its hands stopped at the moment the missile exploded.
We met badly injured villagers, maimed by flying shrapnel when a Houthi rocket struck their mosque, and we were given rare access to a Saudi army Patriot anti-missile battery, placed in the desert facing Yemen, that has been intercepting ballistic missiles fired at Saudi Arabia's southern towns.
These Soviet-era missiles are aimed at the towns of Najran, Abha, Gizan, Khamis Mushayt and even, according to the Saudis, at the holy city of Mecca.
These ageing but still deadly Russian-made missiles belong to a stockpile amassed by the Yemeni army over the years and now taken over by the Houthis.
The weapons include Scud B missiles with a payload of nearly one tonne of high explosives, and the smaller Tochka with a payload of 482kg of explosives.
Saudi officers showed us the remnants of a downed Tochka, still bearing Cyrillic writing on its fuselage.
Between 6 June 2015 and 26 November 2016 the Saudi authorities have recorded 37 ballistic missiles fired from Yemen across the border into Saudi airspace.
Yet the damage to Saudi Arabia pales before the destruction next door in Yemen.
The war there started in September 2014 when fighters from a minority group, the Houthis, formed an alliance with the ousted former President, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who lent them the support of troops still loyal to him.
The Houthis, who demanded an end to corruption in government and a fairer distribution of power, marched down from their northern mountain stronghold around the town of Saada, took over the capital, Sanaa, dissolved parliament and put the president under house arrest.
Yemen, at the time, was just emerging from the chaos of the Arab Spring, a national dialogue had been completed, a new president chosen and there were high hopes for a peaceful, democratic future.
Those hopes were dashed.
The country's President, Mansour Hadi, fled for his life to the southern port of Aden where the Houthis bombed him from the air in his palace.
Yemen's legitimate, UN-recognised government, now in exile, appealed for help, and Saudi Arabia, alarmed - at what it saw as a takeover of Yemen by an Iranian proxy - stepped in.
Spearheaded by their newly appointed and then still untested Defence Minister, Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the Saudis put together a coalition of mainly Arab countries and began a massive air campaign in March 2015.
They aimed to drive the Houthis back from territory they had seized and restore the legitimate government, backed by UN Security Council Resolution 2216.
This has not worked. Today the Houthis remain in control of much of Yemen and the death toll keeps mounting.
Both sides are accused of recklessly targeting civilians - but the UN has said the majority of casualties have been caused by coalition air strikes, a view disputed by both the Saudis and the Yemeni government.
In a guest palace in Riyadh, where exiled members of the Yemeni government gather, I met Rajhi Badi, their spokesman. He was unequivocal as to where the blame lies.
"There's only one reason for the destruction in Yemen. It's the Houthis and the forces of ex-President Saleh.
"They seized the government's weapons and are using them against Yemeni civilians in built-up areas," Mr Badi said.
But to hear first-hand how the Saudis account for so many civilian deaths, I went to the coalition headquarters in Riyadh to question the Saudi-led command on how they choose their targets, and - more importantly - what measures they take to avoid those civilian casualties.
King Salman Air base is a huge, sprawling, well-guarded base on the edge of Riyadh.
On one of its roundabouts a British-built Tornado jet is mounted, testimony to the multibillion pound ongoing defence sales relationship between Britain and the Royal Saudi Air Force.
Inside the command and control centre there are flags from 11 nations, and uniformed staff and intelligence officers working, from several Arab countries - notably Egypt, the UAE and Jordan, as well as Saudi Arabia.
A dynamic, digital map on the wall display shows the movement of every aircraft on or approaching Yemen.
The coalition has complete air superiority in this war - the Houthis and their backers no longer have an air force.
In a large chamber called the "War Room" a digital chart details the line-up of inbound combat aircraft heading for Yemen.
This is the daily "Air Tasking Order Schedule". It shows which aircraft are in the air, from which country, their callsigns, and their intended targets (e.g. Egypt - F16 - Callsign Viper - Time on target 1600 - Killbox grid etc.).
Senior Saudi officers inside the command and control centre insist that when choosing targets in Yemen the coalition abides by the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC) and that every precaution is taken to avoid civilian casualties.
Yet reports from the ground describe schools, hospitals, factories and social gatherings all being hit from the air.
The worst single event was on 8 October 2016 when a double air strike by a coalition warplane hit a packed funeral hall in the capital Sanaa, killing 140 people, mostly civilians.
The Saudi-led coalition has since admitted it was carried out in error and has offered compensation.
I put it to Maj Gen Ahmed Al-Assiri, the coalition spokesman, that both international aid organisations and the UN blame air strikes for 60% of civilian casualties.
He responded by accusing the UN of being effectively spoon-fed false statistics by the Houthi rebels.
"I think it is a wrong number or it is an exaggerated number when they say 60% of the casualties in Yemen are due to the air strikes.
"They are not on the ground, they are just in Sanaa  and they write a report which the Houthis are giving to them."
The Saudi officers went to great lengths to insist they comply with international Rules of Engagement (ROE) and the LOAC.
They showed me their "No-Strike List" (NSL) which includes more than 30,000 sites all over Yemen, including refugee camps and hospitals.
Those Rules of Engagement state clearly:
They also explained their "Targeting Cycle", a circular chart detailing how air strikes are planned and executed, including a sign-off by a lawyer for every target chosen by the intelligence cell.
"If we plan a target," a senior Saudi intelligence officer told me, "it's going to go through this cycle. If it's close to a mosque or a hospital then we don't hit it."
But I pointed out this is exactly what has been happening, repeatedly, in Yemen, for the past 20 months.
Coalition officers admit there have been some mistakes - but they reminded me that even the US Air Force, with its vast experience, has hit wrong targets in Afghanistan and recently at Deir Az-zour in Syria.
"When you conduct a war in such circumstances," said Maj Gen al-Assiri referring to Yemen, "where the militias melt in with the civilians, it is too difficult.
"Mistakes could happen, and we do what is necessary to protect the civilians. We are here to protect the civilians, we are not here to harm the civilians," he added.
So what is Britain's role exactly in this messy, seemingly unwinnable war in Yemen?
Britain supplies Tornado and Typhoon aircraft and precision-guided munitions to the Saudi government under defence deals concluded before this war began.
Since the air strikes started in March 2015, the UK has sold over Â£3.3bn ($4.1bn) worth of defence equipment to Saudi Arabia with more planned.
This has prompted some campaigners to suggest that Britain is complicit in the carnage afflicting Yemen.
The British government's position is that Saudi Arabia is an ally and that it supports its UN-backed actions to restore the legitimate Yemeni government to power.
"This is a legitimate request by the Saudis and the coalition to respond to President Hadi and (UNSC) Resolution 2216 in support of the aggression by the Houthis," says the Foreign Office Minister responsible for the Middle East, Tobias Ellwood, MP.
"But mistakes have been made, there's no doubt about that. Attacks have taken place which shouldn't have taken place, hitting targets on the ground, collateral damage taking place. They need to learn from this."
Whitehall says RAF personnel placed inside coalition HQ are not involved in the targeting, that they are there to report back as well as to pass on to the Saudi-led coalition their expertise about best practice in avoiding civilian casualties.
The Saudis told me that their air force "takes its Paveway 4 Collateral Damage Chart from the UK'.
This is an interactive diagram composed of a series of questions that help planners decide whether or not a target is at risk of collateral damage (i.e. hitting civilians).
But regardless of whatever rules are followed in military planning cells in Riyadh, the fact remains that in Yemen, civilians are getting killed and injured by both sides.
The UK government was concerned enough about the funeral bombing in October that the Prime Minister sent the FCO Minister down to Riyadh to press the Saudi and exiled Yemeni governments for a full explanation, which duly followed.
From my several recent visits to Saudi Arabia I get the strong impression that the Saudis never expected the Houthis to hold out as long as they have.
By now, they expected them to have effectively sued for peace, accepted a purely political role in a future Yemeni government and handed over their heavy weapons to the UN.
That still hasn't happened, and for the Saudis this is a red line.
Time and again they have said they will not allow an armed militia, backed by their rival Iran, to hold onto power illegally in Yemen.
Until one side or the other backs down, this war shows no sign of ending.


Former Everton, Wigan and Swansea manager Roberto Martinez has been appointed as the new head coach of Belgium.

Spaniard Martinez, 43, was sacked by the Toffees in May after three years in charge at Goodison Park.
He succeeds Marc Wilmots, who left his post last month, two weeks after the Euro 2016 quarter-final defeat by Wales.
The vacancy was advertised online by the Belgian Football Association.
It wanted a "strong and open communicator" who has a "proven track record in transmitting tactical and strategic knowledge" to top players.
In a statement, the Belgian FA said it was "delighted and proud to have found a coach at this level so quickly".
Martinez will hold a news conference at 11:30 BST on Thursday and his first match is against Spain on 1 September.
At Everton, Martinez managed Belgium internationals Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas.


A tunnel has been discovered in a Mexican prison, stashed with drugs, alcohol and sharp tools, according to local authorities.

Police in Tamaulipas state said the hole, which had been hidden by bricks, was up to five metres (16ft) deep.
They said it was unfinished and no one has escaped.
In 2015, one of the country's biggest drug lords, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, escaped via tunnel from Altiplano prison.
He was recaptured after six months on the run and later extradited to the US.
The latest hole was in a jail in Reynosa, a city close to the US border.
It was found after authorities used geothermal technology to detect activities underground, according to local media.
In March, 29 inmates escaped via a tunnel from a prison in the Tamaulipas state capital Ciudad Victoria.
One of the prisoners who fled was involved in the 2012 kidnapping and murder of Karen Alejandra Rodríguez.
He was later recaptured, but the victim's mother, Miriam, who had been campaigning for justice for Mexico's missing people, said she lived in increased fear after the escape.
She was shot dead in her home last week by an unknown assailant.
Mexico also saw another major prison break in the country's north-west in March.
Juan José Esparragoza Monzón, son of one of the country's other drug kingpins, escaped from a jail in Culiacán, Sinaloa state, alongside four other inmates.
His father, Juan José Esparragoza, was a long-time partner of El Chapo in the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the country's biggest crime syndicates.
Monzón remains on the loose.
Tamaulipas police said on Sunday that they were conducting a search for further holes after the latest tunnel was discovered on Saturday night.
They said that Reynosa prison was operating as normal and visiting hours had resumed.


Edinburgh's prop John Andress will move to Munster on a one-year deal at the end of this season.

Tight-head Andress, 32, came up through the youth ranks with his native Ulster before signing for Exeter in 2007.
After spells at Harlequins and Worcester, Andress, who has played for Ireland A, signed a two-year deal with Edinburgh in May 2014.
Andress, who has made 48 appearances for Edinburgh, says he has enjoyed his time with the club "immensely".
"Being on 48 caps, it would be great to leave having achieved my 50th cap and be able to mark my time here in such a special way," he said.
Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons paid tribute to Andress' efforts with the club.
"John is an experienced scrummaging tight-head who has made a valuable contribution to the club over the past two seasons," said Solomons.
"He is a good bloke, an excellent team man and a pleasure to coach. We wish him every success in his new venture."
Munster have also announced that lock Darren O'Shea will return to the club at the end of this season after two years with Worcester.
The Irish province will be without Australian international forward Mark Chisholm for the remainder of this season after he sustained concussion in the game against the Dragons earlier this month.


Flooding has brought chaos to parts of Cumbria.

Heavy rain on Thursday caused streams to overflow and drains to back up in Maryport, Flimby and Workington.
The fire service received 220 calls between 17:30 and 22:00 GMT with most reporting vehicles stuck in up to three feet (1m) of water. Many houses were flooded.
Landslips halted trains between Carlisle and Workington, Northern Rail said.
Wigton's Nelson Thomlinson School closed after part of the building was flooded.
The A595 was shut from the Castle Roundabout at Cockermouth to the Thursby roundabout near Carlisle.
Sean Pattinson, of Grasslot, Maryport, told the BBC his street was badly hit.
He said: "All the neighbours were rallying round grabbing sandbags, but the water was just too much. We just couldn't stop it."
Flimby councillor Peter Kendall said people had been surprised by the torrential rainfall.
"There was so much water coming down fast it overstretched everybody.
"In these weeks before Christmas people are going to have major clean-ups and will need all the help they can get."
Andy Brown, the Environment Agency's flood risk manager in Cumbria, said a number of flood warnings had been in place although several were likely to be lifted.
"There were some horrific conditions last night in north and west Cumbria and we saw some really intense rainfall - about 40mm in a few hours.
"Often, the roads and drainage cannot handle that intensity of rainfall and that's why you get flash flooding."
Mr Brown warned further heavy rain is expected in parts of the county over the weekend and urged people to be prepared.

A three-day truce has come into effect between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza, after a day of intense diplomacy.

It is hoped the latest truce, which came into effect at 21:00 GMT, will help negotiators agree a longer peace.
Egypt brokered a similar truce last week, but fighting resumed after the three-day window ended.
About 2,000 people have died in the conflict, which began on 8 July when Israel launched an operation to deter militant attacks from Gaza.
Those killed include more than 1,900 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the UN. Sixty-seven people have died on the Israeli side, including three civilians.
Israeli media were reporting warning sirens for rocket attacks right up to the new ceasefire deadline at midnight local time. Israeli air strikes also continued through Sunday evening.
However, an hour into the ceasefire there were no reports of attacks from either side.
After tense talks that both sides had threatened to abandon, the surprise announcement of the truce came late on Sunday.
"Israel has accepted Egypt's proposal for a 72-hour ceasefire," a senior Israeli official told the BBC.
The official added that Israel would send negotiators to Cairo on Monday if the truce holds.
Izzat al-Reshiq, a Hamas negotiator in Cairo, told Reuters news agency: "In light of Israel's acceptance of the truce and their return without pre-conditions, we will inform the Egyptian brothers of our positive response."
In a statement, Egypt's foreign ministry urged both sides to resume indirect negotiations and "work towards a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire agreement".
Correspondents say Israel is likely to continue to push for Gaza to be demilitarised, and Hamas will continue to demand the blockade of Gaza to be lifted.
The issues have scuppered previous talks, conducted through intermediaries.
However, an unidentified Hamas negotiator said their demands were likely to be "more modest" this time.
Since the last 72-hour truce ended on Friday, there has been regular exchange of fire.
Israeli air strikes have killed at least 20 Palestinians. Two Israelis were injured by mortars.
The BBC's Wyre Davies in Jerusalem says the ceasefire should allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, where thousands have been left homeless.
On the Israeli side, where dozens of communities have been evacuated, residents will also be able to return home.

Steve Bruce's unbeaten reign as Aston Villa manager was extended to seven games with victory over Cardiff City.

The hosts took the lead when Jordan Amavi crossed for Albert Adomah to tuck home his first Villa goal.
Rickie Lambert's calm finish when one-on-one levelled the score, but Jonathan Kodjia's header restored Villa's lead.
Cardiff dominated the second half, but saw Lee Peltier sent off for a second yellow, before Rudy Gestede netted a penalty after Jack Grealish was fouled.
The victory enabled Villa to break into the top half of the Championship table, while the Welsh side slipped into the bottom three after Blackburn's surprise win at Newcastle.
But Neil Warnock's side will feel aggrieved not to have taken something from the match, having carved out the better of the chances in the second half.
Sean Morrison headed over the bar when well-placed on the hour mark, before substitute Frederic Gounongbe was guilty of heading straight at Pierluigi Gollini.
Peltier's second booking, for a late foul, plus Gestede's penalty eased the pressure for the hosts, who maintained the division's only unbeaten home record.
Villa manager Steve Bruce:
"This is is only the first shoots of a recovery. We are hopefully heading in the right direction because a club like Aston Villa needs to be at top end of the division.
"Cardiff are difficult, they are right in your face and if we hadn't shown the resistance we displayed, it could have been a difficult afternoon.
"You have to be brave facing a side like Cardiff because it was a typical performance from a Neil Warnock side."
Cardiff boss Neil Warnock:
"I could not fault them as they gave everything. Probably there was a lack of quality that Villa possess, but when you pay £40 million you expect that to exist.
"I look at Souleymane Bamba and Junior Hoilett and I do not know what we would do without them. We need a couple more players like them to cause problems in other areas.
"In the second half Villa were concerned at 2-1 and the sending-off of Lee Peltier was a blow following a tackle on Jack Grealish.
"I was disappointed in Grealish shouting at the referee to get players booked."
Match ends, Aston Villa 3, Cardiff City 1.
Second Half ends, Aston Villa 3, Cardiff City 1.
Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
Foul by Kieran Richardson (Cardiff City).

President Donald Trump tweeted on 7 March to criticise former President Obama's administration for releasing 122 prisoners from "Gitmo", a shorthand for the US-run Guantanamo Bay detention centre, who "returned to the battlefield".

The claim: One hundred and twenty-two prisoners freed by President Obama from Guantanamo Bay engaged in "terrorist or insurgent activities" after their release.
Reality Check verdict: All but nine of the 122 released prisoners the US says were involved in "terrorist or insurgent activities" after leaving Guantanamo were not freed by Obama but by his predecessor, George W Bush.
The detention facility, opened in 2002 to detain terror suspects after the 9/11 attacks and the invasion of Afghanistan, is part of a US naval base in south-eastern Cuba.
At least every six months, the office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), who oversees the US intelligence community, publishes details of how many former Guantanamo Bay prisoners are "confirmed or suspected of returning to terrorist activities after release or transfer". The DNI defines those activities as planning or financing terrorist operations, conducting an attack and recruiting others for terrorist activities.
According to the most recent published statistics, dated 15 July 2016, 122 former detainees are confirmed to have directly been involved in terrorist or insurgent activities after they have been transferred out of Guantanamo.
However, only nine out of the 122 were transferred after 22 January 2009, when Barack Obama took office. The rest - 113 - were released by his Republican predecessor, President George W Bush.

Stranraer have added top flight experience to their squad by signing midfielder Paul Cairney and defender Dale Keenan.

Cairney joins the League One side after leaving Kilmarnock while Keenan, 21, made six appearances for Partick Thistle last season.
"They are two great additions to the club," manager Brian Reid told Stranraer's official website.
"Getting someone like Paul with his wealth of experience is quite a coup."
Former Partick Thistle and Hibernian player Cairney, 27, played 16 times for Killie last season despite some injury problems.
Stranraer missed out on promotion to the Championship at the end of the 2014-15 campaign after losing to Forfar in the play-offs.


Luton Town have signed midfielder Lawson D'Ath for an undisclosed fee from Northampton Town.

The 24-year-old has featured just four times for the League One side this season, and has agreed an 18-month contract with the Hatters.
The former Reading youngster helped the Cobblers win promotion last term and in total made 95 appearances for the club.
D'Ath's deal at Luton, currently sixth in League Two, includes a 12-month option in the club's favour.

Newcastle and Gateshead have been selected to host a major exhibition showcasing art, design and innovation from the north of England.

The area has been selected by the government to host the £5m Great Exhibition of the North in 2018.
It was chosen above three other shortlisted bidders - Sheffield, Bradford and Blackpool.
Former Chancellor George Osborne came up with the idea as part of his Northern Powerhouse package.
Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said she was won over by Newcastle and Gateshead's "ambition", including the organisers' estimate that the exhibition will attract three million people.
By Will Gompertz, arts editor
The only potential problem I can see at this stage with the Great Exhibition of the North is the title. It sets expectations high, don't you think? What with its echoes of The Great Exhibition (1851), which was a World Fair and therefore rather different.
There was also the famous Art Treasures of Great Britain exhibition, which was held in Manchester in 1857. That was a blockbuster show if ever there was one, with around 1.3 million visitors going to take a look at the 16,000 artworks on display. It ran for just over five months.
The team behind the Newcastle-Gateshead bid are hoping to attract three million people in two months to their multi-site showcase of the North of England's contemporary arts and enterprise scene.
That's an ambitious target. I hope it, together with the hyperbolic title, doesn't overwhelm the event's programmers and lead them down the Millennium Dome-type route of worthy but dull quasi-educational installations.
It should and could be a terrific show, leaving visitors to conclude for themselves that it was a great (with a lowercase G) exhibition.
"That level of ambition really did stand out," she told BBC News. "But that doesn't mean this is just for Newcastle-Gateshead."
The 77-day exhibition will have the overarching theme of The Blazing World - The Fires of Invention.
Newcastle and Gateshead's joint bid said: "Inspired by the trailblazers of the north, the exhibition will have several cross-cutting themes for all to respond to, showing how the north's fires of invention continue to transform our world.
"Crucially, we will connect artists with scientists and inventors to work closely together, to create new artworks and respond to the great innovations of our time. Arts will meet industry in powerful and memorable ways."
The region has already proved it can host major art events, with a record 140,000 people visiting the Turner Prize exhibition when it was staged at the Baltic in 2011.
But cultural venues in both Newcastle and Gateshead have struggled in the face of local council funding cuts in recent years.
As well as the £5m for the exhibition, the government has pledged £15m for a legacy fund, which will be open to cultural organisations across the north.
Mrs Bradley said: "This is an exhibition for the whole north, and certainly through the legacy work, we are looking for bids across the whole of the north of England so we can really show everything the north has to offer."

The Afghan president's office has launched an investigation after it emerged that President Ashraf Ghani's nominee for agriculture minister is on Interpol's most-wanted list.

Interpol's website says Mohammad Yaqub Haidari is wanted in Estonia for large-scale tax evasion dating back to 2003.
The president's office was unaware Mr Haidari had legal problems but was investigating, a spokesman said.
Mr Haidari said he was on the list but was victim of a political conspiracy.
"When you enter the world of business and politics, this is what happens," he was quoted by Reuters as saying.
He told the news agency that the taxes were owed not by him but by a person who bought a company from him that did business in Estonia.
Mr Haidari has been on the list for years, but it was not widely known or reported in Afghanistan.
President Ghani announced his cabinet nominations on Monday some three months after he was sworn in, following tortuous negotiations with former rival and current government chief executive Abdullah Abdullah.


He came, he unloaded a foul-mouthed tirade against some of his colleagues, he was fired.

Anthony Scaramucci's 10-day tenure as White House communications director was abruptly ended by President Trump's new chief of staff, Gen John Kelly.
Jokes, memes and salty comments have filled many of the 235,000-or-so tweets posted using the hashtag #Scaramucci since Monday.
Among the schadenfreude, people have been sharing their own tales of abbreviated employment.
US sports journalist Nubyjas Wilborn asked his nearly 4,000 followers what the shortest amount of time was they had spent in a job and why.
So what can would-be job-leavers learn from others' tales of employment woe? Here are five top tips borne from social media users' bitter personal experience.
Seething with righteous anger at the burning injustice of being excluded from the tea run may be slightly over the top, however.

Two men died when a car being followed by an unmarked police vehicle collided with a tipper truck in Leicester.

The crash involving a Peugeot 206 and a Ford Transit van happened at about midnight in Upperton Road, at the junction with Fosse Road South.
Two male passengers died at the scene and the driver is in hospital. Two people in the truck had minor injuries.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating.

Damage was caused to a shop on the corner of Upperton Road. The road has been closed, and eyewitnesses have been urged to come forward.


The owner of piracy site Isohunt has agreed to settle a music industry group lawsuit for $50m (£38m).

Gary Fung announced the settlement with Music Canada via a blog published at the weekend.
Isohunt was shut down in 2013, when Mr Fung agreed to pay $110m to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
One researcher said the cases could set a "worrying" precedent for those who run sites that may link to pirated content.
A court order associated with the decision details the fees as follows: 55m Canadian dollars in damages, C$10m in "punitive, exemplary and aggravated damages" and a further C$1m to cover legal costs.
The total amounts to 50m US dollars.
The case dates from a legal order sent in May 2008 by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA), now known as Music Canada.
Previously, Mr Fung had promised users that he would not disclose their data - including email and IP addresses - during legal proceedings.
"I've kept my word regarding users' privacy," he wrote.
Isohunt did not host pirated media, but rather provided users with a directory of sources from where illegal files could be downloaded.
The same model is used by The Pirate Bay, which is currently blocked in the UK.
It's possible that cases like this could set a "worrying" precedent for social media websites, according to Ben Zevenbergen, a researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute.
"Think of social media websites like Facebook where everyone shares their favourite songs with their friends - would these services need to employ full-time copyright police?" he said.
He added: "Further, I truly wonder whether a penny of these fines ends up on artists' royalty checks, but I highly doubt it."


Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti celebrated his 1,000th match as a manager with an 8-0 thrashing of Hamburg, including a Robert Lewandowski hat-trick.

Bayern led 3-0 at the break, as Arturo Vidal drilled in Thomas Muller's lay-off, and Lewandowski converted a penalty before prodding in a third.
The Poland striker struck again after the break, with David Alaba tapping in and Kingsley Coman scoring twice.
Arjen Robben made it eight.
Bayern remain five points clear at the top. RB Leipzig, in second place, beat Cologne 3-1.
Lewandowski's three goals took him joint-top of the Bundesliga scoring charts - he now has 19 for the season, along with Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who scored twice in a 3-0 win at Freiburg.
All three of Lewandowski's goals were clinically taken. He rolled in his first with nonchalance from the penalty spot after being fouled by Lewis Holtby, and was cool from close range for his second before steering in a third from Robben's pass after the break.
He might wonder, though, how he did not score even more - heading wide two clear first-half chances and hitting the bar.
It was a satisfying enough day for the striker, however, who received a standing ovation as he made way for Renato Sanches in the 57th minute.
He then watched Coman, another substitute, take centre stage with two smart finishes, the first steered into the corner following a mistake by Johan Djourou, the second placed home from 20 yards after Robben teed him up.
Robben completed the rout with a trademark goal, cutting in from the right on his left foot and finding the far corner.
That all ensured Bayern's biggest win under Ancelotti - some way to chalk up a milestone.
Hamburg have a dreadful recent record at the Allianz Arena, having now lost on each of their past seven visits, conceding 44 goals in the process - a run that included a 9-2 thumping in March 2013 and another 8-0 humiliation in February 2015.
Markus Gisdol's side, battling relegation, were overwhelmed by the attacking verve of Bayern, who could easily have been half a dozen goals in front by the interval.
They were thankful to goalkeeper Rene Adler that the score did not reach double figures; he got the faintest of touches to tip a fierce Lewandowski drive on to the bar in the first half, and made fine stops from Arjen Robben either side of half-time.
It was just one of those days for the Hamburg keeper, though - with his despair summed up by Bayern's third goal, shortly before half-time.
The keeper was off his line quickly to block as Douglas Costa ran on to Muller's cut-back, but Lewandowski collected the loose ball and found the roof of the net from 10 yards.
Leipzig, last season's second division runners-up, had seen their title challenge falter after losing four of their previous nine Bundesliga fixtures.
But they were in command against Cologne from the fifth minute, when Sweden forward Emil Forsberg latched on to Thomas Kessler's poor clearance and steered a shot into the corner of the net.
Cologne defender Dominic Maroh, who escaped with only a booking after clipping Timo Werner when clear through, then turned Naby Keita's cross into his own net.
Yuya Osako pulled one back after half-time for Cologne, but Werner then thumped a shot past Kessler to make it 3-1.
Borussia Dortmund strengthened their grip on third place by winning 3-0 at mid-table Freiburg.
Centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos headed in his first goal of the season from Marco Reus' whipped free-kick, before Aubameyang's second-half double.
Bottom club Darmstadt's match against Augsburg saw Turkish twin brothers Hamit and Halil Altintop face each other in midfield.
It was Augsburg's Halil who was smiling at the finish, with his side winning 2-1 thanks to Raul Bobadilla's 85th-minute strike.
Levin Oztunali made one and scored another as Mainz won 2-0 at Bayer Leverkusen, swinging over the corner from which Stefan Bell headed in, then scoring direct from a free-kick.
In the 17:30 GMT kick-off, Hertha Berlin moved about Eintracht Frankfurt into fifth place by beating them 2-0.
Vedad Ibisevic scored for the second week in a row, and Vladimir Darida then headed a late second after Eintracht's Haris Seferovic had been sent off.

David Nugent bagged a hat-trick and missed a penalty as Derby beat Fulham to dent the Cottagers' play-off bid and strengthen their own hopes.

Nugent lifted over keeper David Button to put the Rams in front, but Floyd Ayite swept the visitors level.
Seconds after Nugent saw his spot-kick well saved by Button, his spectacular volley gave the Rams a half-time lead.
He tapped in his third before Johnny Russell drilled in a fourth and Ayite scored a late Fulham consolation.
Fulham's defeat means they drop out of the top six at the expense of Sheffield Wednesday, who won at already-relegated Rotherham.
Derby never looked back once Marcus Olsson's pinpoint through ball was neatly converted by Nugent, and have now lost just once in eight against the Londoners on home soil.
Ayite's smart finish, after the Rams failed to clear Ryan Fredericks' cross, suggested briefly that Fulham could take control, especially as they bossed possession for long periods.
But Nugent's stunning second, as he hooked in over his shoulder just moments after his penalty miss, proved crucial.
The former Leicester City striker secured the match ball just before the hour mark when he charged down a Button clearance, and Russell's second goal of the season, that found the right-hand corner, confirmed the result prior to Ayite's late second.
Derby have now taken seven points from nine since Gary Rowett took charge, and have moved to within seven points of the final play-off spot.
Derby manager Gary Rowett: "Someone said to me before the game it was going to be quite open, and I think that was a bit of an understatement.
"Fulham make it very difficult for you to come out and put pressure on them, but when you win it, there is always lots of space to break and counter, which made it a very end-to-end game.
"After the penalty miss, we scored a second at the perfect time, and in the second half we pressed the ball better and were really clinical."
Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: "I believe my team played a very good football game. From another side, we missed a little bit of experience to make the right decision in the right moment.
"We must all stick together and be strong, fighting until the end of the season. I believe my team play the best football, but we haven't made enough good results.
"In these six games [left] we have to hit fifth gear and push hard to fight to be at the top of the table."

The Chinese art world was rocked over the weekend by news that famed erotic photographer Ren Hang had died at the age of 30.

Known for his provocative pictures and poetry, Ren's often explicit work had been exhibited in galleries all over the world. He shot for major fashion brands and magazines such as Gucci and GQ China.
Details of his death on Friday are still emerging, but he is believed to have taken his own life.
Dian Hanson, editor at German publisher Taschen, said Ren had fallen into a "crushing depression" in October which was "intensified by global political instability. The months of pain finally proved too much".
Born in Changchun in north-east Jilin province, Ren first picked up photography when attending college in Beijing. He began shooting pictures of his friends out of boredom.
Over time he gained fame for his striking photographs, often featuring young naked Chinese models in unusual and sculptural poses. He roped in friends and acquaintances for many of these pictures, even his own mother for one series.
A true child of the social media generation, he freely shared his works on his website and his Facebook, Instagram and Flickr accounts, accruing thousands of devoted young fans, some of whom would apply to model for him.
Many have seen his works as a commentary on evolving sexual mores and the struggle for creative and sexual freedom in a conservative, tightly controlled society.
The British Journal of Photography quoted him as once saying: "I don't want others having the impression that Chinese people are robots.... Or they do have sexual genitals but always keep them as some secret treasures."
But his explicit works inevitably provoked a strong response from authorities in China, where pornography is illegal and where artists have often fought against censorship and state interference. He was arrested several times, his work confiscated.
He consistently denied that his photography had a political message. "My pictures' politics have nothing to do with China. It's Chinese politics that wants to interfere with my art," he told digital magazine Dazed in 2015.
Along with his photography, Ren Hang frequently posted emotional erotic poetry on his social media accounts. Here is an extract from a 2016 poem called Love:
My kisses can be finely linked into a line, just like
a snake slithers across every rugged reef rock on
your trembling body, afterwards you turn
into a snake, I turn into a rock, still afterwards we
all turn into snakes, intertwined together, we
all turn into rocks, hitting each other.
Ren Hang exhibited prolifically, staging more than 20 solo and 70 group art shows, and publishing several monographs of his work. At the time of his death he had just released a new book with Taschen, and launched an exhibition at an Amsterdam gallery.
Ren Hang long struggled with depression, which he talked about openly. On his website, he wrote candid entries about his struggle with the illness, which included frequent hallucinations and hearing voices.
Among his latest entries on his Weibo microblogging account, posted at the end of January, was a stark one-liner: "Every year I always have the same wish: to die an early death." It was followed up with another line: "Hope that it comes true this year."
Since his death, grieving fans have been posting tributes online. One commenter on Weibo wrote: "I am not sad, because you weren't happy here."


Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, has qualified for his fifth Olympic Games after winning the US 200m butterfly trials.

The 18-time gold medallist retired after London 2012 before returning to the pool in 2014.
He was arrested for drink-driving later that year and was banned from competitive swimming for six months.
Phelps, 31, said after qualifying: "That was probably harder than any swim I have had in my life."
He is the first American male swimmer to make five Olympic teams.
Phelps said he felt the achievement was greater because of "the ups and downs we've gone through in and out of the pool to get to this point".
Elsewhere, 400m freestyle world champion Katie Ledecky and Missy Franklin, a five-time medallist in 2012, both qualified for Rio after finishing first and second respectively in the 200m freestyle.

American football team the San Francisco 49ers have sacked fullback Bruce Miller after he was arrested on suspicion of assault, US media report.

Mr Miller, 29, was detained in connection with an alleged attack on a 70-year-old man and his son.
Both men were reported to have needed hospital treatment.
The incident is said to have happened at a hotel in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf district on Sunday night.
Broadcaster KTVU in San Francisco reported that an altercation had taken place over a hotel room.
A brief statement issued by the team said: "The San Francisco 49ers on Monday announced they have released FB (fullback) Bruce Miller."
Mr Miller, who is 6ft 2in (1.88m) tall and weighs 248lb (112kg), has been with the 49ers since 2011.
His sacking comes amid another controversy surrounding a player from the same team.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick provoked a storm of criticism when he refused to stand for the national anthem to protest against racial injustice.
On Monday, US President Barack Obama defended Mr Kaepernick's right to snub the anthem, saying he was making a point.

Shamir Fenelon then made it 2-0 with a fierce drive eight minutes later before Jake Gallagher headed home just after the interval.

Ayr United recorded a comfortable win over Stenhousemuir to draw level with second-placed Peterhead in League One.

It took until midway through the second half for the hosts to get ahead, Craig Moore netting on the rebound after Ryan Stevenson's free-kick had been saved.
Jamie McCormack headed Stenny level but the visitors then had Alan Cook dismissed for two bookings.
Stuart Malcolm's own goal put Ayr back ahead and strikes by Stevenson and Alan Trouten completed their victory.


Former England goalkeeper John Ruddy is among seven first-team players to be released by Norwich City.

Sebastien Bassong, Steven Whittaker, Ryan Bennett, Michael Turner, Youssouf Mulumbu and Kyle Lafferty will also leave at the end of their contracts.
However, City have extended the contracts of Declan Rudd and Harry Toffolo for a further year.
Both were on loan this season, with goalkeeper Rudd at Charlton and left-back Toffolo at Scunthorpe.
Ruddy, 30, joined the Canaries from Everton in 2010 and twice helped the club win promotion to the Premier League.
He has made 242 appearances for Norwich in all competitions and was capped once by England in a friendly against Italy in August 2012.
Defender Bassong, 30, joined from Tottenham for £4m in 2012, featuring 135 times and scoring five goals.
Right-back Whittaker, 32, also arrived at Carrow Road in 2012 from Rangers and set up Nathan Redmond's goal in the 2014-15 Championship play-off final win over Middlesbrough. He has played 106 games for the club.
Bennett, 27, joined from Peterborough in January 2012, making 119 appearances including 37 this season, while fellow centre-back Turner, 33, signed from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee in July 2012 but had loan spells at Fulham and Wednesday after finding himself out of favour.
Injuries have restricted midfielder Mulumbu, 30, to just 25 games since his move from West Bromwich Albion in the summer of 2015, while forward Lafferty, 29, has made 39 appearances since joining from Palermo in 2014, netting four times.
Lafferty scored seven goals in Northern Ireland's qualifying campaign for Euro 2016.
Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber said: "We'd like to place on record our sincere thanks to all of the players who are moving on for their contribution to the club and wish them all the very best in the next chapter in their careers."


Prison authorities in Cardiff failed to properly assess the risk posed by a prisoner who went on to murder his cellmate, a report has found.

Colin Capp, 23, was jailed for life for Darren Thomas's murder in March 2015 - a month after nursing staff referred Capp for a mental health assessment due to suicide and self-harm risk.
An ombudsman found the assessment was not done, despite an appointment.
A Prison Service spokeswoman said lessons would be learned.
"We take our duty to keep prisoners, staff and others safe extremely seriously and we will make sure we learn lessons from the PPO's [Prisons and Probation Ombudsman] recommendations," she added.
"The prime minister has also announced an overhaul of how mental health is treated in prisons, giving governors a much greater say over what services their prisoners need and how the available budget is used."
A spokesman from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said watchdog Healthcare Inspectorate Wales had advised on improvements, which it would take on board.
Capp had returned to prison at the beginning of February to serve the remainder of a 32-month sentence for arson with intent, after his mental condition deteriorated following his release from Parc Prison in Bridgend on licence.
Two previous cellmates at Cardiff had asked to be moved because of Capp's "paranoid behaviour."
The ombudsman, Nigel Newcomen, said this should have triggered a review of whether he should continue sharing a cell.
But the report added despite "frailties" they found in the prison's risk assessment procedures, it would have been "very difficult" for prison staff to have predicted or prevented Mr Thomas' murder.
Mr Thomas's brother, Jeremy Thomas, said: "If you look at the history, there were trigger points all along and that's upsetting, the fact it could have been prevented.
"That guy was a ticking bomb and it should have been picked up."
Mr Thomas's death was the only homicide at Cardiff Prison since the ombudsman began investigating prisoner deaths in 2004.
It recommended the prison should review prisoners' risk for sharing if their behaviour changes, and ensure prompt mental health assessments for anyone at risk of suicide and self-harm.


The Scottish Conservative leader has defended her party's plans to end free university tuition in Scotland.

Ruth Davidson wants graduates to pay back £6,000 towards their education once they are earning more than £20,000 a year.
She said the money would be put towards post-16 education, and replacing the cash she said had been "ripped out" of the bursary system by the SNP.
Scotland's other three main parties are committed to free university tuition.
Speaking on the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme ahead of the Holyrood election on 5 May, Ms Davidson said it was "shocking" that children from poorer backgrounds were half as likely to go to university in Scotland than England, where students pay tuition fees of up to £9,000.
She said: "What we want to introduce is a scheme by which, once you have graduated and once you have a degree, once you are in a job earning over a certain amount of money, over £20,000, you start to pay back a contribution to the education that you received.
"It would be phased in so it would be only new graduates. We wouldn't backdate it to anybody.
"On average, people with a degree earn £100,000 more over their lifetime that those people who don't have one.
"If you continue in low-paid employment then you don't have to pay this back. That is why it is a graduate contribution."
University tuition fees were initially limited to £1,000 when they were introduced in England in 1998, but now stand at up to £9,000.
Ms Davidson said her party's plan for a charge in Scotland would be capped at £1,500 for every year of a graduate's degree for the full term of the next parliament.
She added: "We have universities in Scotland that are crying out for more funding. We have a college sector which has been slashed and burned by the SNP in order to fund this shibboleth of free education.
"We have European students coming here who don't have to pay a penny for the degree that they receive and this would be a way for them to contribute too."
And she insisted that higher education in Scotland was not truly free as it had "cost us 152,000 college places", put barriers in the way of the poorer people who want to go to university and put "a cap on the number of Scottish students that are actually able to go".
During the interview, Ms Davidson also said she would fight to ensure there was not another independence referendum.
And she explained her party's plans to bring back prescription charges in Scotland, which she said had cost £60m to the NHS in Scotland.
She said there would be a charge of £8.40 for prescriptions, although people on low incomes, students, pensioners, patients with long-term conditions and pregnant women would not have to pay.
Ms Davidson said it was not fair that people earning "good salaries" should cost the NHS money by getting their prescriptions for free.
She added: "I am prepared to pay a contribution if that means someone else doesn't have to wait an hour for a bedpan in a hospital ward or can get a cancer drug that is otherwise being denied them."
The SNP government scrapped prescription charges in Scotland five years ago - leaving England as the only part of the UK to charge for them.
Responding to Ms Davidson's interview, Scottish Labour's Jackie Baillie said the Conservative leader was "against asking the richest 1% to pay a bit more to stop the cuts, but she does want to impose hidden taxes on students and on the sick."
In the televised STV leaders' debate on Tuesday, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon claimed the Conservatives were "not the party of low taxes" but the "party of hidden taxes".
And Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said Ms Davidson "really only wants to cut taxes for the rich - she doesn't want to improve services for anybody else".


India's President Pranab Mukherjee has cleared a new set of protocols by which he will no longer be addressed as "His Excellency" within the country.

The president felt this was "something that needs to be reformed" as he is an elected leader in a republic, his press secretary Venu Rajamony told the BBC.
Under the new rules, Mr Mukherjee will be referred to as "Mr President".
He would be called Excellency only when he interacts with foreign leaders "as is customary international practice".
Mr Mukherjee was elected as the Indian President in July.
"In the Indian constitution everyone is equal under the law, and so the president felt the protocols needed a fresh look," Mr Rajamony said.
"This was a routine review and reform of the protocols by the new president," he added.
Mr Mukherjee has also asked his office to organise all his functions within the Rashtrapati Bhavan [Presidential Palace] to avoid the "inconvenience caused to the public during his movement within the city and in order to reduce the burden on police and other agencies", a statement on the president's website said.


Pedro Caixinha's first involvement at Rangers was passive.

The Portuguese manager sat in the main stand at Celtic Park watching as the Ibrox side earned a 1-1 draw under the guidance of caretaker Graeme Murty.
Caixinha would have seen some cause for optimism in that performance, not least the doggedness of spirit that hauled the team back on to level terms after conceding the opening goal. The game wasn't a strict handover from the Mark Warburton reign, though, since Murty had already begun to try to rectify some of the team's shortcomings.
At times during this campaign, it has seemed as though the Old Firm rivals have been operating at different extremes. Following that 1-1 draw at Celtic Park, Brendan Rodgers' side had scored 74 league goals, almost double Rangers' tally of 38; at the other end of the pitch, Celtic had conceded only 17, while Rangers had lost 33 goals, again almost double.
A pattern had emerged under Warburton of Rangers tending to dominate opponents in terms of possession, but failing to convert chances and leaving themselves vulnerable in defence. Set-pieces were a particular weakness.
Celtic were dominant in every aspect of that game. Rodgers, too, bases his approach on a possession game, but his team have been much more effective in attack - where Moussa Dembele and Scott Sinclair have been consistently lethal - and more resolute in defence.
Caixinha has only managed Rangers for five games, so it is too early to make judgements. Even so, developments have been clear, since the team have conceded only one goal in that time, and scored 10. The goal difference after that 1-1 draw at Celtic Park was +5. It is now +14.
Rangers have kept clean sheets in their past three games, having only managed back-to-back clean sheets once previously this season. Caixinha's team are noticeably more defensively organised - a consequence of greater work on that side of the game in training than under Warburton.
They have also sought to be more direct in the attacking third, showing more of a willingness to risk possession by playing through balls or delivering crosses into the penalty area.
Against Aberdeen at Pittodrie, Rangers had to survive spells of pressure - with a defence that included young, inexperienced players in David Bates and Myles Beerman - but coped. Bates, in particular, was sound in the air, although he can still look anxious in games.
The sole goal conceded under Caixinha came from a corner kick, against Motherwell, so old frailties have not been entirely eradicated. The improvements will come under intense scrutiny from Celtic, though.
Rodgers' side have drawn three of their past six games, conceding six goals in that spell, which stretches back to the 1-1 draw at Celtic Park. Yet the title was in sight and the players could have been forgiven for their consistency slipping somewhat. That will not affect them on Sunday.
The Scottish Cup is the last trophy in their sights, and they will consider themselves capable of reaching the kind of level of performance that delivered a 5-1 win over Rangers last September. As well as Dembele and Sinclair, Stuart Armstrong has grown in stature in this campaign, and he will be a roving menace in midfield against a likely central Rangers trio of Jon Toral, Jason Holt and Emerson Hyndman.
Sinclair will want to attack any space behind James Tavernier, while Beerman, for all that he has been assured for an 18-year-old who has just broken into the side, will need to cope with the occasion if he plays instead of Lee Wallace, who has been injured.
Sunday's semi-final at Hampden brings together a side that has thrived by playing free-flowing football at times, against a team that has recovered some of its self-esteem by becoming more organised and thorough.
Caixinha was a calm observer at Celtic Park, but this time he will be in the midst of the pressures and intensity of the game. Rodgers has already coped with those demands.
The Celtic manager has stressed all season that it is the collective rather than the individual that is paramount. That approach has allowed players to flourish, though, and three of the four leading Premiership scorers this season are Sinclair (20), Dembele (17) and Armstrong (13). Kenny Miller, with nine goals, is Rangers' top scorer in the league.
Every assessment of the two teams reveals Celtic's strength. Caixinha has begun his work, and there have been signs of improvement, but it is still a challenge of his tactical nous to find a way to quell the threat of Rodgers' side, while still being capable of attacking intent of their own.


BBC Wales News has been awarded a global prize for an interactive story commemorating the Aberfan disaster.

Aberfan: The mistake that cost a village its children, written by Ceri Jackson, was one of four stories honoured in the first Shorthand Awards.
Judges said the story painted "arresting accounts of human endurance."
Mark O'Callaghan, BBC Wales' head of news and current affairs, said it was a "powerful piece of journalism".
"It was expertly researched, written and beautifully designed. I would like to congratulate the team," he said.
More than 100 entries were submitted for the awards, which recognise the work done using the interactive storytelling tool Shorthand in 2016.
The standout story went to Mercy Corps, for 'Driven by love', about the charity's work with refugees.
Black Gold by the NZ Herald, telling the story of the trade of hair extensions, was awarded the prize in the most visually compelling category.
While The Mountains Moved by Stuff.co.nz received the award for best use of interactivity.
Wales Online was also given a special mention for its "moving" story marking the 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster.

No sooner had the curtain gone up on the new year's debates in Westminster Hall than Will Quince seized the day to make an impassioned plea for support for our regional theatres.

He argued that you can only have a vibrant West End if you've got a strong regional base developing the talent and he sees no reason why so much more arts funding goes into London per head of population than it does to the regions.
The MP for Colchester argued: "The West End is often the showcase of our best theatre, but it does not exist in a vacuum; it exists because it is fed and sustained by the talent of regional theatres across the country."
As ever, the nub of the argument was money. "Much of our regional theatre is not self-financing," Mr Quince said. "It relies on subsidies from the Arts Council and local government to ensure its year-to-year viability. In Colchester, the Mercury theatre's income is 30% grant income, with the other 70% earned."
Mr Quince argued every pound spent on the Mercury theatre made Â£3 for the local economy.
He was well-supported by MPs who praised the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth, the Buxton Opera House and the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds.
The MP for Bury St Edmunds, Jo Churchill, outlined the community value of local theatres: "I have in my constituency the only example of a regency playhouse in the country. We have the historic value of the building - it is 87% self-funded and, as it reaches out, it is very hard to put a price on its social value.
"We reach out to Women's Aid and work with them. We reach out to children with physical and mental disabilities and to Suffolk Age Concern. We also work with the YMCA, and young people who are homeless and without work have come to work in the theatre. Does my honourable friend agree that a price cannot be put on that?
Ed Vaizey, the minister for culture, replied for the government, arguing that changes in funding were moving in the right direction.
"There is a lively debate about the amount of funding that goes into London and to other areas outside London," he said.
"It is important to say that when we came into office around 60% of lottery funding went outside London. That has now risen to 70%, and the Arts Council has an ambition to go further to reach 75% by the end of 2018.
"It is also following the same strategy with its national portfolio organisations. In 2012, 49% of funding went to London and 51% went outside London. By 2015, that had changed to 45% in London and 55% outside London."
The minister welcomed the debate and agreed in principle that regional theatres deserve every penny they get but made no promises that any more money would be forthcoming.
The member for Colchester, who treated BBC Essex listeners to a burst of Les Miserables following the debate, said he would continue to campaign for theatre but promised he had no plans to tread the boards anytime soon.
"They do say that politics is showbusiness for ugly people," he concluded. A thought perhaps better not shared with his colleagues.


Nearly six months after they began, Chile's student protests show little sign of running out of steam.

Indeed, if anything, they are gaining traction, partly because the students' demands resonate with those of demonstrators elsewhere in the world, from Wall Street to Athens.
Many students here say they now feel part of a wider, international expression of discontent with their rulers.
In Latin America, what has been dubbed the "Chilean Winter" has inspired others to challenge their education systems.
In Colombia, for example, students have been spotted waving Chilean flags during marches.
Last week, Chile's student leaders were in Europe to drum up support. They came back home with a message: "We are not about to give up."
The movement's leader is Camila Vallejo, a young communist and president of Chile's main students' union.
Photogenic and articulate, she has become a key figure, with some journalists comparing her to  Sub-Comandante Marcos, the leader of Zapatista rebels in Mexico, or even Che Guevara.
While those comparisons may be a little far-fetched for a 23-year-old geography student, "Comandante Camila" has galvanised the students and become a thorn in the government's side. She has thousands of followers on Twitter and Facebook, and a growing fan club outside Chile.
The students are demanding a strictly not-for-profit education system that is free for everyone.
The government says that is unrealistic and that Chile can only afford to provide free education for the poorest 40% of its children. It also says there is no reason why the rich shouldn't pay.
The government has offered concessions like, for example, lowering the interest rates on student loans, but the students say this is simply tinkering with a dysfunctional system rather than overhauling it.
Earlier this month talks between the two sides broke down and there is no sign of a resolution.
For better or worse, Chile's education system is one of the most privatised in the world.
According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), nearly 40% of all education spending comes not from the state but from households in the form of tuition fees. That is higher than in any other country in the OECD.
Only 16% of higher education spending comes from public sources, compared with an OECD average of nearly 70%. Three-quarters of Chile's universities are privately owned.
The government says this private sector involvement should be welcomed, but the students argue that it effectively turns education into a commodity, governed by market forces.
Even at high school level, the private sector is pervasive. Less than half of Chile's high school pupils go to fully state-funded schools. The rest go to private schools (7%) or subsidised schools (48%), where costs are split between the state and parents.
Pupils have taken over hundreds of schools during this year's protests and barricaded themselves inside, refusing to allow the teachers in.
At some schools, the pupils have jammed chairs and desks into the railings to indicate that their school is under occupation.
At one occupied school, the Liceo Dario Salas in central Santiago, students set up camp inside, with mattresses laid out on the floors of the classrooms. They painted defiant revolutionary murals on the school walls.
"Ever since Chile returned to democracy we've seen how, little by little, they've sold off all of the services that we should have access to, and that includes education," one of the protesters, 17-year-old Fernanda Gonzalez, said.
"Education should be free for all. It should give us the chance to choose different careers and to have a better quality of live."
But these sit-ins have had a devastating impact on the academic year. Some children have not been to school for months.
"Thousands of children have not been able to continue the process of learning normally," said Fernando Rojas, undersecretary for education.
"Even though it's a low percentage of our student population it is still a significant number of students, so it concerns us greatly."
The other major concern for the government is public order. There have been about 40 student marches in Santiago since May and most of them have ended in violent clashes between masked youths, armed with stones and petrol bombs, and riot police with tear-gas and water cannon.
Nearly 2,000 people have been arrested although almost all were released without charge within hours.
Santiago's municipal government says the riots have caused at least $2m (Â£1.2m) of damage. Youths have ripped up street signs, paving stones and traffic lights to build barricades. In one incident, protesters forced passengers off a bus and set fire to it.
The next big challenge for the government will be to get its 2012 budget approved by parliament. It has earmarked $11.6bn for education spending, an increase of 7.2% from this year.
And yet the students say that is not enough and the centre-left opposition is threatening to block the budget.
The other big issue for the next few months will be tax reform. Last year, the government raised corporate tax rates to pay for reconstruction after the massive earthquake of February 2010.
In theory, those taxes should be reduced again over the next two years, but the students are urging the government to keep rates high and use the extra money to fund education.
The "Chilean Winter" has given way to spring. But there is little to suggest this conflict will be resolved before the end of the year and the onset of the southern hemisphere summer.


Six protesters who staged treetop protests in their campaign against the Bexhill Hastings Link Road have been found not guilty of trespassing.

The group had climbed into trees before contractors cleared the route.
They had denied all charges against them and faced trial in Hastings. Verdicts were given by Brighton magistrates earlier.
Before the hearing, defendant Tom Druitt, of Osmond Road, Hove, said their actions were justified.
The group, who call themselves the Combe Haven Defenders, carried out the protest on 16 January last year.
The other five defendants were Alistair Cannall, of no fixed address, Kim Harrison, of Green Lanes, London, Valerie Archer, of Mornington Grove, London, Maria Gallastegui, of Grays Inn Road, London, and Adrian Hopkins, of The Marina, St Leonards.
East Sussex County Council has repeatedly said the road is "crucial" to regenerate the local economy.
Transport spokesman Councillor Carl Maynard has said it will bring huge economic benefits, free up land for housing and business, ease congestion on the A259 and lead to about 3,000 new jobs.
Before the hearing, Mr Druitt said: "Regardless of whether we are convicted or not, our actions were completely justified.
"The people on trial should be those who pushed this scheme through the funding and approval process.
"Their actions will result in not only increased carbon emissions once the road opens, but also the devastation of Combe Haven, a once beautiful and tranquil river valley.
"Building new roads at a time when we are facing catastrophic climate change is utterly wrong."
The Â£113m link road is due to be completed next year.


Children in Glasgow can become socialised into gang culture from as young as 12, according to new research.

A study found the gangs were not hierarchical, organised criminal groups but friends that had grown up in the same area.
It suggested violence was an "accepted part of their lives".
The research looked at 60 members of 21 city gangs and was carried out by Johanne Miller from the University of the West of Scotland.
She spent weeks working with the participants as part of a PhD.
She said: "The process that emerged from participants was that young people aged between four and 12 began playing in the few streets that made up their scheme - a council-built estate - and began from a young age to be socialised into street culture.
"These children have grown up hearing stories of territorial rivals and the crimes they enact.
"So within the child's conscious there is a known enemy, an 'other' out there who is already a threat in their minds.
"They would begin absorbing street culture transmitted through story-telling and observations of older children in the area and family members.
"They would adopt the gang name, start using it and decide whether they wanted to fight or not. This is how they grew into the gang.
"This violence then becomes more serious for core members, and conflict becomes a central binding agent of the gang."
Ms Miller said her research revealed that between the ages of 14 and 18, gang members spent four to six hours each day on the street, and longer at weekends.
They mostly occupied derelict buildings, parking lots, abandoned houses and factories and forests, with fighting taking place away from CCTV or regular police patrols, she added.
The research revealed a fight could start if a member entered another gang's territory and shouted their scheme's name.
"Territorialism is the conflict that creates tensions between other groups, and it separates and divides them from other young people and eventually traps them into their scheme through fear of reprisal," she added.
However, it was found that members drifted away from a gang after about three years, with every participant saying they wanted to progress to get a job and many expressing a "real fear" they would turn out to be worthless.
Ms Miller will talk about her research findings at the British Sociological Association's annual conference in Glasgow.
