Saudi Arabia has invited Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who is wanted for alleged war crimes, to a summit with US President Donald Trump and Arab and Muslim leaders.

Mr Bashir will travel to Saudi Arabia on Friday, Sudan's Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour said.
The minister added that he hopes US sanctions against Sudan will be lifted in July, and said he believes the US wants to normalise relations.
The US has not confirmed the claim.
Economic sanctions were imposed against Sudan in 1997 after the state was labelled a "sponsor of terrorism".
President Barack Obama signed an executive order easing some of the curbs in January, shortly before leaving office.
The White House said the move was intended to acknowledge Sudan's efforts to reduce internal conflict, improve humanitarian access to people requiring aid, and curtail "terrorism".
Mr Obama had delayed the reduction in sanctions by 25 weeks, to give the Sudanese government an incentive to continue its reforms.
Relations between the US and Sudan have not been tension-free of late, however.
The country was one of seven included in Mr Trump's proposed travel ban, along with Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.
It is not known whether Presidents Bashir and Trump will meet when the US leader arrives in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
The visit is Mr Trump's first overseas trip since taking office, and he is scheduled to address the summit on his "hopes for a peaceful vision of Islam".
In 2009 and 2010, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants against Mr Bashir for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity related to the conflict in Darfur, which has claimed at least 300,000 lives.
He denies the charges, and has successfully evaded arrest for several years.
The ICC is based in The Hague, and was established in 2002 to try the world's most grievous crimes, when national courts are unable or unwilling to act.
A US official told NBC News that the Trump administration opposes invitations or travel by individuals facing ICC indictments.
"The United States has made its position with respect to Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir's travel clear," the official said.
"While the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, which is the treaty that established the International Criminal Court, we nevertheless strongly support efforts to hold accountable those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, including such acts in Darfur," the official added.


The home of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix is no longer for sale, its owner has announced.

In a statement to its members, the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) said it has "decided to shelve discussions about a sale" of Silverstone Circuit.
Potential investors including the Jaguar Land Rover group and MotorSport Vision had previously shown interest in the Northamptonshire venue.
The statement added the move is "not without risk".
Former British F1 driver Jonathan Palmer's MotorSport Vision pulled out of the running for the circuit before Christmas.
In November, Jaguar Land Rover said it had ended discussions with the BRDC "for the foreseeable future".
BRDC chairman John Grant said it had expected to "pick up discussions" with an "unnamed substantial overseas investor" in the new year, but added: "After further reflection and, in particular, completion of the sale of Formula 1 to Liberty Media, the board has now decided to shelve discussions about a sale and continue on a go-it-alone basis."
He said: "While this is not without risk, we feel sufficient confidence in the improved prospects for our business to justify this change of direction."
Mr Grant also said the decision means background changes such as the removal of the club secretary role and the introduction of a new voluntary club ambassador would now be put in place.
These had been on hold while the talks were on-going.
Further details will be discussed at the BRDC's AGM, due to take place in April.


Environment Minister Alex Attwood has said he will not impose a National Park in County Down's Mourne Mountains.

In a statement to the BBC, he said "the voice of opposition in the Mournes is greater than the voice of support".
He said he was continuing to take stock on the full range of views but "a national park cannot be imposed and as things are - there won't be one in the Mournes".
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK without a national park.
A national park is an area of protected countryside administered by its own independent government-funded body to look after its conservation and promote its benefits.
The minister has previously indicated he wants two to be created, with the  Mournes, the Causeway coast, the Antrim Glens and Fermanagh Lakelands  identified as possible areas.
There are 15 national parks in Great Britain and six in the Republic of Ireland.
More than 1,000 people attended a public meeting in September in Newcastle, County Down, where farmers and local residents voiced their opposition to the Mournes being designated a national park.


Another day, another strong set of employment growth figures from the Office for National Statistics and another downgrade in productivity forecast from the Bank of England.

Much of this will feel familiar to anyone watching the UK economy over the past few years but, in the months ahead, that pattern may soon start to change.
As I noted on Monday productivity growth (the amount of output produced per-hour-worked) will be one of the key challenges for the UK economy over the next five years, in some ways it is the key challenge.
Since 2007 productivity has been broadly flat and employment has surged in recent years as firms have required more workers to produce more output rather than getting more from their existing staff.
In effect, economic growth has been generated by increasing the inputs (hours worked) rather than increasing the efficiency with which those inputs are used. The problem with this is that eventually the economy will run into a constraint, it will simply run out of additional workers to employ and, without an increase in productivity, output growth will hit a wall.
Unemployment was fallen from 8.5% in late 2011 to 5.5% today - its lowest level since the recession. The number of economically inactive people (neither employed nor actively looking for a job) has also declined sharply. It may be that the UK is approaching the point when it begins to run out of workers.
Estimating exactly when that point will be reached is tricky - it maybe that there is "hidden slack" in the labour market , people currently working part-time who want a full-time job, or some of the newly self-employed who would rather have a traditional employee position. Immigration, through providing new workers, can also ease the constrains on businesses.
While economists debate about the degree of "slack", the indicator to watch may be well wages. All things being equal, the tighter the labour market is the higher wage growth should be. In a tight market, with firms competing to employ workers, then wages should be nudged up.
Throughout 2011, 2012, 2013 and much of 2014 despite falling unemployment and falling inactivity rates wage growth remained extremely muted. But in recent months it has become to pick up.
Most of the growth in real wages (wages accounting for changes in inflation) since late 2014 has been a result of falling inflation rather than rising nominal wages. But that isn't the whole story. Nominal (cash terms) regular pay growth has picked up from 0.9% a year in August last year to 2.2% in today's figures. In the private sector regular pay growth is now running at 2.7%, up from 1.6% a year ago.
That sport of wage growth - given the absence of an improvement in productivity - suggests a tighter labour market.
So, what happens if the labour market continues to tighten and productivity growth continues to disappoint?
That outcome would be far from good. In the short run those in work would enjoy larger real wage boosts as earnings were pushed up by a tighter labour market. But, without productivity growth, firms would face a larger wage bill for any given level of output and so be forced into increasing prices. The real wage gains wouldn't last for long.
For all the worries about deflation and falling prices in the UK over the past year, it isn't (especially given the rebound in the oil price) hard to envisage a scenario where the lack of productivity growth makes rising inflation a bigger threat.  If that was the case then interest rates would rise far quicker than currently expected.
It may seem perverse to be fretting about higher inflation when consumer price inflation is at zero, nominal earnings growth at half of their historical levels and real wages still heavily down on where they were in 2008. But that could be the consequence of a continuing productivity shortfall.
Productivity growth - it can't be emphasised enough - is crucial to what happens next in the UK economy. The other thing that can't be emphasised enough is that there is still no single agreed reason as to why productivity has been so weak.
One theory of weak productivity may be about to be tested and, if it is correct, there is far fewer reasons to be concerned.
The traditional way to think about productivity and real wages, is that weak productivity has led to weak real wages. Without the ability to get more out of their employees, firms haven't had the room for the sort of wage rises that were seen as normal pre-2008.
There are, though, those who argue that the relationship is the other way around. When demand fell during the recession of 2008/09 the UK's flexible labour market meant that, rather than unemployment soaring, wages fell. The rise in unemployment was much smaller than in previous recessions and the hit to wages much larger.
This may (and it's still just a "may") have incentivised the growth of businesses that relied on lower-waged work lowering overall productivity growth. This sort of "compositional effect", according to the Bank of England today, has been a drag on productivity.
In addition, faced with cheaper workers, firms may have decided to hold back on investing in new equipment, plant and machinery - why bother investing in getting more out of your existing workforce if it's cheaper to just hire some additional workers?
If the labour market really has tightened, then - if this theory is correct - one might expect that productivity gains will follow wage gains rather than leading them. In other words, faced with more expensive workers, firms may have to focus on increasing productivity and raising investment in capital equipment. That would be a much more benign outcome - high employment, faster wage growth and rising productivity.
Over the coming months, the next stage in the UK's productivity puzzle will be played out.


Danny Blanchflower, one of Northern Ireland's greatest footballers, has been honoured with a commemorative plaque in his native city of Belfast.

He captained Tottenham Hotspur in the 1960s as they won the League, the FA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup.
He also made 56 appearances as a Northern Ireland international and later managed the team.
The Ulster History Circle has marked the late player's achievements with a blue plaque at his childhood home.
The unveiling ceremony, at Grace Avenue in east Belfast, was attended by members of his family and high-profile figures from the sport.
Former Northern Ireland and Spurs goalkeeper, Pat Jennings, and football world governing body Fifa vice president Jimmy Boyce were among the guests who gathered to pay tribute to the man who was twice named England's Footballer of the Year.
Robert Dennis Blanchflower - who became known as Danny - was born in Belfast in 1926. He grew up as the eldest of five children in the Bloomfield area in the east of the city.
The family lived at a number of houses in Belfast, but Blanchflower wrote about Grace Avenue as being the first place he kicked a ball.
As a teenager during the Second World War, the apprentice electrician lied about his age in order to join the Royal Air Force (RAF). He trained as a navigator in Scotland and Canada.
At the end of the war, he began his professional football career with the east Belfast club, Glentoran.
After four years with the Glens, he moved to England, playing for both Barnsley and Aston Villa before moving to his best known club, Tottenham Hotspur.
One of the highlights of his glittering 10-year career with the north London club was captaining the side to a double victory during the 1960-61 season, when Spurs won both the League and FA Cup.
He made at total of 382 appearances for Tottenham, scoring 21 goals, including a penalty in the 1962 FA Cup final.
In his penultimate year with the club, Blanchflower captained Spurs to victory over Atletico Madrid in the final of the 1963 European Cup Winners' Cup.
In 2009, the midfielder was ranked by The Times as the greatest player in the history of Tottenham Hotspur.
The Belfast man was also among a rare group of players to have been awarded the title of English Footballer of the Year twice, winning in both 1958 and 1961.
He played for Northern Ireland between 1949 and 1963 and his teammates included his brother, Jackie Blanchflower.
Danny was captain of the squad when they reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 1958.
Forced to retire from the sport with a knee injury, he briefly managed the Northern Ireland international team and then Chelsea.
He later moved into  journalism and broadcasting, working for Yorkshire Television and writing for the Sunday Express.
He was the only person ever to refuse to take part in the This is Your Life programme, dismissing host Eamonn Andrews on live television in the 1960s.
Blanchflower died from pneumonia in 1993, at the age of 67.
The Ulster History Circle has described him as "a superb player, a canny tactician, an incurable romantic and maverick sage - a man with a magnetic personality who dominated any room into which he walked".


A five-year-old girl is battling for her life after being allegedly kidnapped and repeatedly raped by a neighbour in the Indian capital, Delhi.

The girl was taken hostage on Monday and attacked in a locked room for over 48 hours, police said.
Reports say she was rescued by a passer-by who heard her cries on Wednesday. No arrests have been made.
The gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus in December sparked protests across India.
In a separate development, police in Delhi say they are also looking for a group of men who allegedly gang-raped a 19-year-old woman on Wednesday night.
Reports say the woman, who works as a domestic helper, was offered a lift in a vehicle by the men and then allegedly sedated and raped.
The five-year-old girl has been admitted to a city hospital in a critical condition.
"The girl was traumatised when she was brought to us. There were injuries to her lips, cheeks and chest wall. There were bruises on her neck," RN Bansal, chief of Swami Dayanand hospital, told the NDTV news channel.
Delhi police spokesman Rajan Bhagat told the AFP news agency that police had launched a probe into the rape and "attempted murder" of the girl.
There have been protests outside the hospital where the girl is being treated.
Mr Bhagat said a case of rape had been registered in connection with the attack on the 19-year-old girl, who was found semi-naked by pedestrians on a road early on Thursday.
Doctors at the city's Safdarjung Hospital said she that although she was suffering from trauma, there were no signs of external injuries.
Reports said the woman, who is married and comes from from Nepal, was on the way to her brother's house from her employer's residence in the up-market Defence Colony neighbourhood when a car carrying the men stopped to ask her for directions and offered to drop her near her home.
The issue of sexual violence against women and girls has been under intense scrutiny in India after the rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus in December led to widespread protests.
Six people were charged over the case, which shocked the nation. Four are on trial in a specially-convened fast-track court and face the death penalty. A fifth suspect was found dead in prison.
The sixth man, a minor, is being tried in a juvenile court. All the accused have pleaded not guilty.
Last month India passed a new bill containing harsher punishments, including the death penalty, for rapists.


A woman who killed a man and injured his fiancée after falling asleep at the wheel has been jailed.

Shirley Glover's Volvo crossed onto the wrong side of the A450 carriageway near Shenstone and hit Stuart Frost's MG3.
He was pronounced dead at the scene while his partner Emma Lunn suffered multiple injuries.
Glover, 50, from Stourport-on-Severn, admitted causing death and serious injury by dangerous driving when she appeared at Hereford Crown Court.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)  said Glover failed to tell the DVLA she suffered with a sleeping condition.
She had left work early on the day of the crash, 21 March, as she was not feeling well and subsequently fell asleep at the wheel, prosecutors said.
The CPS said she suffered with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea - a condition that can affect people's ability to drive safely - and had taken three prescription medicines which had warnings concerning drowsiness and driving.
Paying tribute to her husband-to-be, Ms Lunn said: "He inspired so many people and has left a huge hole with so many people and so many areas of his life."
Mr Frost's parents called him the "perfect son" and said they had been left "totally devastated".
Prosecutor Ian Crooks said Glover, of Great Western Way, was fully aware of her Obstructive Sleep Apnoea yet she still got behind the wheel of her car when feeling tired.
"The consequences of Glover's failure to control her vehicle were devastating," he said.
"Our thoughts today are very much with the family and friends of Stuart Frost."
Glover was jailed for two years and nine months and banned from driving for five years.


Hundreds of people have taken part in an anti-fracking demonstration in Upton, near Chester.

It follows a police operation which removed a protest camp set up on a test drilling site since April 2014.
About 30 protesters were evicted on Tuesday, after being served with a court order compelling them to leave the area in November.
Up to 400 campaigners chanted and made speeches during a protest at the site which has been cleared by bailiffs.
They claim they were "denied their right to peacefully protest" after police closed off Duttons Lane during the eviction.
Nine people were charged with a number of offences after the eviction, including aggravated trespass and obstructing a police officer.
Cheshire Police warned on Twitter the event could lead to disruption on the roads around Upton and Chester.
Patrols were deployed for reassurance, the force added.
A Frack Free Dee Coaliton spokesperson said: "The events of Tuesday have merely strengthened the resolve of our communities to continue in our opposition to extreme energy technologies being utilised here or anywhere.
"The protests will continue daily, outside of the police blockade whilst it remains in situ and then outside of the site once it is removed.
"Upton Community Protection camp may be gone but the community is not."
An IGas spokesman earlier told the BBC the company respected "the right to peaceful protest, [but] these protesters [at the camp] were trespassing as determined by the High Court".
Planning permission for IGas to run tests at the site runs out on 28 May.


Chancellor George Osborne has vowed to create a "more outward-looking, global-facing Britain" following the UK vote to leave the European Union.

And even closer economic ties between the UK and US are in the "overwhelming interest of both countries", he has written in the Wall Street Journal.
Although the UK is leaving the EU, "we are not quitting the world", he said.
He is due to travel to New York, Singapore and China for talks with major investors in the coming weeks.
The UK is the largest trading partner in Europe for the United States, and in turn the US is the largest single destination for UK exports.
UK exports to the US totalled Â£88bn in 2014 - about 17% of total UK exports - and last year the UK was the US's sixth largest trading partner.
Mr Osborne said: "While Britain's decision to leave the EU clearly presents economic challenges, we now have to do everything we can to make the UK the most attractive place in the world to do business.
"Britain and the US have been at the forefront of open trade in the last 200 years and pursuing a stronger relationship with our biggest trading partners is now a top priority.
"That's why I am travelling to the US, China and Singapore in the coming weeks and why my message to the world is that Britain may be leaving the EU, but we are not quitting the world."
The chancellor said the UK would continue to be "a beacon for free trade, democracy and security, more open to that world than ever".
Mr Osborne will be meeting finance leaders in New York on Monday, and has spoken to Paul Ryan, speaker of the US House of Representatives, twice in recent weeks.
He will also meet US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew in London this week.
And in the Wall Street Journal he said the question now "is not what Britain is leaving; it is what Britain will become".
"One lesson of the referendum is that too many of our citizens feel economic progress is no longer benefiting them.
"Ever-higher welfare to make good lost incomes is not the answer; attracting private investment and good jobs beyond our major cities is.
"By managing day-to-day spending, we should commit to major investments in national infrastructure, including new roads, high-speed railways and digital networks."


The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) has received a complaint about the sentencing of the drunk driver who killed 18-year-old Enda Dolan.

David Lee Stewart, 31, of Gray's Park Avenue, Belfast, was jailed on Wednesday.
He was sentenced to three and a half years in prison and another three and a half years on licence.
The PPS has now confirmed it received a complaint about the ruling.
A PPS spokesperson said: "We have received correspondence outlining concerns over the sentences passed in this case.
"The matters raised will be examined carefully in line with our protocols around unduly lenient sentences in the Crown Court."
Enda, from County Tyrone, was walking to his student accommodation when a van mounted a footpath and hit him in October 2014.
He sustained a broken neck and head injuries.
During his trial, the court heard that Stewart took 13 drinks, including six pints of beer and four Jagerbombs, a mix of a spirit and an energy drink, before driving his van.
Traces of drugs, including cocaine, were also found in his system.
Speaking outside Belfast Crown Court on Wednesday, Enda's father Peter Dolan said the family was "disappointed and disgusted" at the length of sentence handed down.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the attorney general John Larkin said he had stated previously that he "should be able to refer unduly lenient sentences to the Court of Appeal".
"At present he [Mr Larkin] does not have these responsibilities and he can only, as a member of the public, lament the death of Enda Dolan, a young man of so much talent and promise," the spokesperson added.


A UK-wide online food ordering service which received a £1m Welsh Government grant to create 100 jobs but outsourced some posts abroad is being investigated, BBC Wales has learned.

Cwmbran-based takeaway ordering and restaurant booking service Kukd.com received government backing last year.
But the Welsh Government is now investigating whether conditions of awarding the grant aid have been met.
Boss Shelim Hussain said he had been "totally transparent" with officials.
The company, which was founded in January 2014 by the Newport businessman, received £1m of public money in 2015 after meeting its initial target of creating 100 new posts.
The Welsh Government has confirmed that further payments have been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.
Adam Price AM, shadow economy secretary for Plaid Cymru, has called for the Wales Audit Office to look into the Welsh Government's business support grant system, following the failure of a number of companies which had been awarded public money and questions surrounding other recipients.
It is understood that Welsh Government officials are looking into allegations about the number of new posts Kukd.com created in order to qualify for a payment of £400,000 in March 2015 and two further payments of £300,000 in June and August 2015.
Mr Hussain has confirmed that some posts were subsequently outsourced to Bangladesh and India.
"I decided to reduce some of the jobs in Cwmbran and outsource them to India and Bangladesh at cheaper cost so the business can survive," he said in a statement provided to BBC Wales.
An investigation was launched by the Welsh Government's Counter Fraud and Internal Audit Unit after anonymous allegations were received by then economy minister Edwina Hart in mid-December 2015.
In response to a number of written questions from Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies, Ms Hart stated that Kukd.com was awarded support of £2.75m for the creation of 276 new jobs.
"To date, £1m has been paid against the creation of 100 jobs," she said.
"Officials met the company on 17 November 2015 to review progress and were advised that the project had experienced some difficulties and that job numbers had fallen since the last claim."
The company had advised that it was "taking steps to recover the position".
Ms Hart added: "On 18 December 2015, an email was received from an anonymous source making allegations surrounding the grant."
BBC Wales understands that the allegations include claims that employees were made redundant and their posts transferred to workers in Bangladesh and India despite it being a condition of the grant that new jobs should exist for three years.
There are further allegations that the firm's payroll included staff transferred from Mr Hussain's company, Euro Foods Group, whose posts had not been backfilled as per the grant conditions.
BBC Wales has spoken to several former employees who said they were laid off after working for Kukd.com for a period of weeks or months.
One former employee, who worked for the company for five months, said: "I left a very good job because they told me this company was going to take off… but a few months down the line we were laid off."
Regarding the investigation, Mr Davies said: "I think it's very concerning because we're not talking about an inconsiderable amount of money.
"To date a million pounds has been made available to that company and the company has received that money on the basis of jobs supposed to have been created.
"Ultimately, we want to see a successful company creating quality jobs, but if that's not happening then really the Welsh Government needs to… ask, have they done all that we can to protect the public purse?"
In a statement, the Welsh Government said: "Our Counter Fraud and Internal Audit Unit are investigating the allegations against Kukd.com and are in touch with the company to gather additional information.
"Whilst no wrongdoing has been found to date, no further payments will be made until this matter is resolved."
Mr Hussain, who received an MBE in 2003 for services to business in Wales, has insisted all grant conditions have been met.
He said he was cooperating fully with the Welsh Government's investigation, including providing "full information of all the backfill posts".
He told BBC Wales he has invested £3m in Kukd.com from sister company Euro Foods to keep the firm afloat.
He said Kukd.com currently employed 65 people and that he anticipated being in a position to shut down the firm's "India office" by the end of September, following the recruitment of new IT staff.
He added: "I already agreed with [the Welsh Government] that in 2018, if the jobs do not meet the grant criteria, I will repay the grant.
"That is, if Kukd does not have at least 100 employees and still has 65 employees or less, I would have to pay back the balance… at around £10,000 per head."
Last week, it emerged that computer games company OysterWorld, based in Treforest, near Pontypridd, which was given more than £1.4m by the Welsh Government, has gone into administration with large debts.
In July it emerged Swansea steel-coating company Kancoat went bust after receiving more than £3m from Welsh ministers, despite them being advised it was a "high risk" venture.
Mr Price said: "I think it's important when you have a slew of cases which raise question marks at different levels - some operational, some policy - that's why we have the Wales Audit Office to say let's step back here and ask searching questions as to whether this is value for money.
"Is it delivering at the highest level the kind of policy goals that the Welsh Government has set for itself?"
In response, a Welsh Government spokesman said: "During the period 2011 to 2015 the Welsh Government has supported over 100,000 jobs in the Welsh economy and latest figures show the survival rates of the companies supported by us are actually above the UK average.
"We are currently working on refreshing our economic priorities so we can continue to build a fairer, more prosperous and more secure Wales.
"As part of this work the economy infrastructure secretary has called on people, businesses and organisations across Wales to feed in their views on what these new  economic priorities should be."


Listener numbers of the BBC's Welsh language service Radio Cymru have risen since its new schedule was introduced, the latest Rajar audience figures show.

About 147,000 people now tune into the station each week - up 4,000 in the past three months.
Meanwhile BBC Radio Wales saw a 34,000 fall in its weekly listeners to 438,000, but its listener share rose.
Radio Two broke the one million-listener barrier in Wales for the first time.
Rajar (Radio Joint Audience Research Ltd) issues latest radio listening figures for stations across the UK every three months. The latest figures cover the six months to the end of June.


Former England all-rounder Chris Lewis says "wrong choices" led to him being jailed for cocaine smuggling as he was released from prison on Tuesday.

Lewis, capped 32 times at Test level, was convicted in 2009 and served less than half of a 13-year sentence.
He said money concerns in 2008 had led to him attempting to smuggle £140,000 worth of dissolved cocaine into the UK.
"I became afraid of what the future held, and at that point the thinking went awry," said the 47-year-old.
In an interview with the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) he said: "I made choices. They were the wrong choices and I say sorry for them.
"I've had six years in jail and until recently I would still look around and think 'wow you're in jail'. That was not part of the plan. I never saw that coming."
Lewis was born in Guyana but moved to Britain aged 10 and went on to make 189 first-class career appearances for Leicestershire, Surrey and Nottinghamshire.
His Test debut came in 1990, taking 93 wickets and averaging 23 with the bat over six years.
Despite playing his final first-class match in 2000, he attempted a return with Surrey's Twenty20 side in 2008, but was hindered by a hip injury.
Lewis and ex-basketball player Chad Kirnon were sentenced in May 2009 after being found guilty of carrying a liquid form of cocaine into Gatwick Airport on a flight from St Lucia.
"On a physical level jail has not been hard. It's a hard mental exercise to stop yourself from thinking negatively," said Lewis, who served his sentence at High Down prison in Sutton, Surrey.
"For 24 hours a day you're a prisoner. It's nice to be back - and I don't mean being outside - I mean back being me."
Lewis added he would be "100%" happy to work with the PCA to help prevent young cricketers from making wrong choices.


Police have been attacked in County Down by up to 30 young people throwing stones.

Two cars were damaged in the incident in the Nursery Drive and Parkhead area of Newry on Friday night.
Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin said he was a "appalled by mindless attacks on PSNI officers and the Newry community".
A post on the PSNI Newry & Mourne Facebook page said that police were "carrying out duties" when attacked.
It added: "We would also appeal to parents to know where their children are and what they are doing."


Research projects investigating the "miracle material" graphene and the human brain have won unprecedented funding of up to 1bn euros each.

Under the European Commission's Future and Emerging Technologies programme, the backing is designed to give Europe an edge in key areas of research.
Graphene - a single-layer of carbon atoms - has extraordinary properties which give it immense potential.
Possible applications include flexible electronics and lighter aircraft.
The Human Brain Project will attempt to build a computer-based copy of a human brain to understand neurological disorders and the effects of drugs.
Both projects involve researchers in dozens of institutes across Europe and will receive the funding over a ten-year period. They include the scientists who first developed graphene at the University of Manchester, UK.
The two fields of novel materials and brain research are described as fulfilling the criteria for the funding by being "ambitious and risky" while promising large returns.
The backing is meant to answer the criticism that Europe lags behind more dynamic competitors such as the United States and China in economic growth and scientific research.
By focusing the funding on two key areas, the hope is that a "critical mass" can be achieved which will give Europe an edge in technologies vital to future economic development.
Last month the BBC reported on the race to secure patents on graphene and how, despite the UK's early lead, China was now leading the field with the South Korean electronics giant Samsung holding nearly ten times more patents than Britain as a whole.
Graphene is far stronger than steel, more conductive than copper and more flexible than rubber so it could potentially open up entirely new avenues for manufacturing, consumer products and medical devices.
The material, so thin it effectively has just two dimensions, was first isolated by two Russian-born scientists, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, at the University of Manchester, work that earned them a Nobel Prize and knighthoods.
The European Commission vice-president Neelie Kroes, announcing the funding in Brussels today, said that it "rewards homegrown scientific breakthroughs".
"So, you've heard of Silicon Valley," she said.
"Where in Europe wants to be known as 'Graphene Valley'? That's the billion-euro question I am putting to you today."
The graphene funding will be spread across 126 academic and industrial research groups. It will be coordinated by Professor Jari Kinaret of Chalmers University of Technology at Gothenburg in Sweden who has stressed that it not attempt to match competitors in all areas.
"For example, we don't intend to compete with Korea on graphene screens," he said, a reference to Samsung's determined effort to lead the market in flexible electronic screens and e-paper. However graphene production - still not achieved on an affordable and industrial scale - is in the project's sights.
Profs Geim and Novoselov will play a leading role in guiding the collaborative effort.
Meanwhile the Human Brain Project will attempt to simulate the trillions of neural connections that make up a human brain in an effort to comprehend how the organ functions.
With an ageing European population, brain disorders, while becoming a more important feature of healthcare, remain poorly understood.
The Commission explains that the Human Brain Project will "collect the masses of clinical data available, mining for biological patterns, leading to new ways of diagnosing and classifying brain diseases."
The sheer volume of data involved in modelling the brain will itself lead to "radically new" IT with new computer technologies designed to manage the flow.
A further angle will be to explore how the brain manages such an intense workload with a relatively tiny power supply - "no more power than a light bulb". Understanding this could lead, it's hoped, to an entirely new way of powering energy-hungry supercomputer systems.
At a time of austerity across Europe and criticism of the European Commission's own budget, officials are emphasising the potential value of the funding for nurturing the kind of research that can produce an economic spin-off.
A key test will be how effectively the initial grants of 54m euros are handled. Beyond that, the precise level of future funding, which is meant to include contributions from industry, is still being negotiated.

The South African recipient of the world's first penile transplant is to become a father, a surgeon who performed the operation has told the BBC.

His girlfriend has reported that she is about four months pregnant, and this showed that the "transplant worked", said Andre van der Merwe.
The 21-year-old recipient, whose identify is being protected, lost his penis in a botched circumcision.
The operation took place in December.
Surgeons at Stellenbosch University and Tygerberg Hospital performed a nine-hour operation to attach a donated penis.
Dr Van der Merwe said he was "very pleased" when he heard that the man's girlfriend was pregnant, and had not asked for a paternity test as there was no reason not to believe the couple.
Further transplants
"This is what we intended, that he should be able to stand up and be able to urinate and have intercourse, so it is a milestone for him," Dr Van der Merwe told the BBC.
He had not expected the man to be infertile, as he had an issue with his penis, not his testicles, the surgeon added.
Dr Van der Merwe said the surgical team is yet to review the success of the operation, and may then carry out further transplants.
The boy had been left with just 1cm of his original penis as a result of the botched circumcision. He was 18 and sexually active at the time.
When attaching the donated penis, the surgical team used some of the techniques that had been developed to perform the first face transplants in order to connect the tiny blood vessels and nerves.
There have been attempts at penis transplants before, including one in China.
Accounts suggested the operation went well, but the penis was later rejected.
Doctors say South Africa has some of the greatest need for penis transplants in the world.
Dozens, some say hundreds, of boys are maimed or die each year during traditional initiation ceremonies.


Tony Abbott has become the first Australian prime minister to visit the resting place of Indigenous land rights campaigner Eddie Koiki Mabo.

The prime minister is in the Torres Strait as part of an election promise to spend one week each year in a remote Australian Indigenous community.
During his stay, Mr Abbott said he would be focussing on education, health and border security in the Strait.
On Monday, he laid a wreath on Mr Mabo's grave on Mer Island.
Mr Mabo died in 1992 just months before his 10-year legal battle for native title rights proved successful.
In what became known as the "Mabo case", the High Court rejected the accepted doctrine that Australia was terra nullius - "belonging to nobody" - at the time of European settlement.
Under the Native Title Act, passed in 1993, claimants can apply to have their native title recognised by Australian law.
Prime Minister Abbott told reporters at a press conference on Mer, also known as Murray Island, that Mr Mabo was a "warrior".
"Not simply a strong man physically, but a strong man culturally and spiritually, who decided that he would take on the legal establishment," said Mr Abbott.
"He would take on the previously settled view of Australian law, and good on him for having a go, and ultimately good on our system for being able to accommodate Eddie Mabo and the other plaintiffs' cry for justice," he said.


Donald Trump has said a Somali refugee student who went on a rampage at an Ohio campus on Monday "should not have been in our country".

The President-elect added that "ISIS is taking credit for the terrible stabbing attack", which left 11 people injured.
An IS-affiliated news agency claimed business student Abdul Razak Ali Artan as a "soldier".
The 18-year-old's mother says he acted normally on the day of the rampage at Ohio State University in Columbus.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on Wednesday that investigators had found "no direct link" between Artan and any terrorist organisation.
FBI special agent in charge Angela Byers said separately that Artan may have been inspired by al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by a 2011 US drone strike in Yemen.
Artan was a refugee who moved with his family in 2014 to the US from Pakistan, where he had been living since 2007.
US officials have said no negative information was found during background checks on Artan when he was allowed into the US and when he became a legal permanent resident in 2015.
Police say he drove his car at a group of people on the campus as students were returning from the Thanksgiving holiday.
After his vehicle jumped the kerb, he then began attacking them with a "butcher's knife" before being shot dead by a campus police officer.
Mr Trump has vowed as president to institute an "extreme vetting" programme to limit immigration to the US from countries that are believed to be at a heightened risk of terrorism.
He had previously called for a "total and complete shutdown" on Muslim immigration to the US.
Hassan Omar, president of the Somali Community Association in Columbus, Ohio, spoke to Artan's mother, who said he had driven his siblings to school as usual on the day of the attack.
"He woke up and he went to school," Mr Omar said, relaying the conversation that he had with Mrs Artan on Monday afternoon.
She told him that she did not know anything was wrong until police arrived at her house.
Minutes before the rampage, Artan posted to Facebook about "lone wolf attacks".
He said that "we will not let you sleep unless you give peace to the Muslims. You will not celebrate or enjoy any holiday".
His post also complained about treatment of Muslims around the world.
He warned that some Muslims were in sleeper cells, "waiting for a signal. I am warning you Oh America!"
But a friend said the attacker "actually loved America".
Ameer Kadar, who last saw Artan two weeks ago, told NBC News: "He loved the fact of the opportunity he had here to go to school.
"He loved the fact that he was able to get a college degree."
Artan grew up in Somalia, but moved to Pakistan in 2007.


Uefa is considering closing the Principality Stadium roof for the 2017 Champions League final in Cardiff as "clearly there is a security reason".

Giorgio Marchetti, director of competitions at European football's governing body, said talks were taking place with police.
Security concerns have been raised since explosions hit the Borussia Dortmund team bus in Germany.
The trophy arrived in Cardiff on Friday. The final is held on 3 June.
"We are always reviewing our security measures," said Mr Marchetti.
It could be the first Champions League final played under a roof.
A possible roof closure at the Principality Stadium had been suggested because of a fears of a drone attack on what is described as the biggest club football game in the world.
"The police have to consider all potential possibilities," said First Minister Carwyn Jones.
"Around those possibilities there has been a discussion whether the roof should be closed or not.
"But there is no specific threat of a drone attack."
Mr Marchetti has said any decision regrinding roof closure will be made closer to the match "and part of the overall assessment".
"The roof is normally there for other reasons," he said.
"Clearly there is a security reason to consider closing the roof and this will be considered. It is in our discussions with the police."
"Security is our number one priority at all of our events."
The trophy arrived in Cardiff on Friday afternoon ahead of the city hosting world football's biggest club final.
It was flown over from Uefa headquarters in Switzerland along with the Women's Champions League trophy.
Crowds gathered outside Cardiff Castle to see Wales football legend Ian Rush and the Wales women's team manager Jayne Ludlow carry out both competition trophies.
It was led through the city in a loud and colourful parade before being taken to the Principality Stadium - or the National Stadium of Wales as it is being called by UEFA for the matches.
The trophies will then go on tour around Wales in the build up to the finals.
Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Monaco and Real Madrid are vying for a place in the men's final.
The women's final will be held at the Cardiff City Stadium two days earlier.
The Champions League final has been held in the UK four times previously, at Wembley twice, Old Trafford and Hampden Park.


Israel says a Palestinian effort to set a three-year deadline for it to end its occupation of Palestinian territories is a "gimmick".

A draft resolution, submitted by Jordan to the UN Security Council, also calls for a peace accord within a year.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that without Israel's consent, nothing would change.
Jordan has indicated it will not seek a quick vote, opening the way for further discussion.
The US - which has vetoed previous resolutions it considers hostile to its ally Israel - said on Thursday it would not support the move.
US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said they would not support any action that would prejudge the outcome of negotiations.
"We have seen the draft, it is not something we would support and we think others feel the same and are calling for further consultations," she said.
Mr Lieberman said the draft resolution would only deepen the conflict.
"Certainly this will not hasten an agreement because without Israel's consent, nothing will change," he said.
"It would be better if the Security Council dealt with matters truly important to the citizens of the world, such as the murderous attacks this week in Australia and Pakistan... and not waste time on the Palestinians' gimmicks."
Despite Israel's objections, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he would pursue consultations "with brothers and friends" at the UN.
The draft text says a negotiated solution should be based on several parameters including the boundary between Israel and the West Bank that existed before the 1967 Six Day War, security agreements and "Jerusalem as the shared capital of the two states".
It urges both parties "to abstain from any unilateral and illegal actions, including settlement activities, that could undermine the viability of a two-state solution".
Another draft resolution, being put together by France, is expected to call for a return to talks on a final treaty with the aim of achieving a two-state solution to the conflict within two years.
It does not mention an Israeli withdrawal, but does lay out some of the parameters of a permanent peace deal.
Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians brokered by the US collapsed in April.


Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale says the club has made the best offer it can to sign Bournemouth striker Jayden Stockley on a permanent deal.

The 22-year-old has scored 10 goals in 22 appearances for City since joining the League Two side on loan in January.
"I would hope he wants to stay, we've made him a couple of offers now and the second offer is as good as we can make," Tisdale told BBC Radio Devon.
"I'd like to have had that decision back by now," added the City boss.
Stockley made his Bournemouth debut as a 15-year-old in 2009, but last played for the club when they were in League One in March 2012.
He spent much of the following season on loan in the Conference with Woking before spells in Leagues One and Two with Leyton Orient, Portsmouth, Torquay United, Luton Town, Cambridge United and Accrington.
"We'd like to keep him and he's got a lot of work to do," said Tisdale.
"We know him pretty well now as a player and I'd like to think we could make a difference to him, but it's his choice now what happens next."


A prison officer at Maghaberry who claimed that scalding water was thrown over her during a row with a prisoner on Sunday has been suspended.

It is believed the prison authorities launched an investigation into her conduct after other prison officers questioned her account of the incident.
The matter has been referred to the police.
It is believed detectives are studying CCTV footage and interviewing staff and prisoners who witnessed the incident.
On Monday, the Department of Justice issued a statement saying four officers had been injured during "an incident involving a prisoner".
It said one of the officers had received medical treatment.
Democratic Unionist Party MLA Edwin Poots had criticised prison service management when reports about the incident appeared on social media at the weekend.
Mr Poots, a former Stormont minster for health and public safety and a current member of Stormont's justice committee, said the jail was under-staffed.
On his Twitter account on Sunday, he wrote: "A prison officer scalded with hot water and five colleagues injured. How long is the SMT [senior management team] and minister going to drag their feet."
He told the BBC that under-staffing in the high-security County Antrim jail was creating dangers for both staff and inmates.
But the officer's account of what happened has now been questioned.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Prison Service said: "Following an incident at Maghaberry Prison on Sunday 31 January, the Prison Service can confirm that a prison officer has been suspended pending an investigation.
"The incident has also been referred to the PSNI."
On Wednesday, Mr Poots said he still maintains that the incident occurred as a result of under-staffing in Maghaberry.


England's number one female star Kelly Sibley will have the boost of home advantage as she looks to add to her five national singles titles.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Sibley, 28, lives near the University of Nottingham's £40m sports village, which is hosting the National Championships from Friday until Sunday.
She told BBC East Midlands Today: "I've won it five times but lost last year so I'm ready to win the title back.
"It's brilliant such a big event is being hosted here. I'm very excited."


New cars and vans that use diesel and petrol as fuel will be banned in the UK from 2040.

This decision is part of a government plan called the clean air strategy - a plan to deal with the issues of air pollution.
A government spokesman said poor air quality was "the biggest environmental risk" to people's health in the UK.
"This government is determined to take strong action in the shortest time possible," he said.
When we burn certain types of fuel they give off harmful gases that are sometimes hard to see.
These gases end up in the air that we breathe.
In small amounts these gases do little harm, but with high levels and more cars on the road they can cause health issues and are bad for the environment.
People will still be allowed to own cars that take diesel and petrol fuel.
It's just new cars that use these fuels that will be banned.
Electric cars will then be the main way of getting around.
Campaigners wanted the government to create clean air zones.
Cars that give out high levels of pollution would have to pay if they enter zones like this.  However this is not currently included in the government plans.
There was a long court battle in which judges agreed with environmental campaigners that previous plans to tackle air pollution were not enough to deal with the problem.
Environmental campaigners have welcomed the new plans saying they are promising, but they felt that more detail was needed.


Britain could send hundreds more troops to Iraq in training roles to boost the fight against so-called Islamic State, a defence source has told the BBC.

The source said no decisions had been made but a few hundred troops could be sent.
The Ministry of Defence said it was considering "additional support" but also said no decisions had been made.
Meanwhile Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said Britain will supply ammunition to the Kurdish Peshmerga.
Details of the ammunition have not been announced but BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said it was likely to include bullets for heavy machine guns already sent from the UK. The Peshmerga say they have run out of ammunition for the weapons.
About 300 UK military personnel are currently in the country training Iraqi security forces and Peshmerga fighters.
The Ministry of Defence said the US-led coalition fighting IS had asked Britain to "consider a range of options" to support Iraqi security forces.
It added: "Any additional support will continue to be behind the wire."
At a meeting in Germany on Wednesday, members of the coalition will discuss stepping up the fight against IS.


Paisley has launched its bid to be UK City of Culture 2021, even though it is actually a large town.

As 19th Century Tory prime minister Benjamin Disraeli once warned: "Keep your eye on Paisley."
Here are 10 reasons Paisley has made its mark on the culture of Scotland, the UK and the world.
After her remarkable victory at the general election, Mhairi Black is indisputably Paisley's most famous daughter at the moment.
The 21-year-old SNP politician became the UK's youngest MP and her first speech in the House of Commons went viral, being watched online more than 10 million times.
In that maiden speech, Mhairi Black referred to the history of her Paisley and Renfrewshire South constituency, pointing to the fact that Scottish national hero William Wallace, who fought against English rule, was born in Elderslie, just outside Paisley and was said to be educated by monks at the town's abbey.
Multi-million selling singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini is the town's most successful current pop star.
In the decade since his first hit single, the 28-year-old has racked up three huge albums and success around the world.
His father runs a fish and chip shop on the town's New Street.
Nutini's talent was spotted when he played an impromptu set at a concert organised for David Sneddon, the Paisley-born winner of the BBC talent show Fame Academy.
Hollywood star Gerard Butler hit the big time with 300, a fictionalised retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae.
The Paisley actor has since starred in numerous big budget blockbusters such as Olympus Has Fallen and the Bounty Hunter, with Jennifer Aniston.
He is also the voice of Stoick the Vast, the great chieftain in the How to Train Your Dragon movies.
The man who scored Scotland's most-lauded goal was a Paisley buddy, starting his career at the town's football club St Mirren.
He played 43 times for Scotland and scored eight goals, including his fantastic solo effort against the Netherlands in the doomed 1978 campaign.
The following year Gemmill's team Nottingham Forest won the European Cup but he was dropped for the final.
Phyllis Logan has played the housekeeper Mrs Hughes in all six seasons of the blockbuster period drama Downton Abbey.
She was born in Paisley and went to school in nearby Johnstone.
In the 80s she starred with Ian McShane in Lovejoy and appeared in the 1996 Mike Leigh film Secrets & Lies.
It all began with exotically patterned, delicate woollen shawls which were originally from Kashmir but European manufacturers began to produce cheaper versions to meet demand.
From roughly 1800 to 1850, the weavers of the town of Paisley became the foremost producers of these shawls.
Unique additions to their hand-looms and Jacquard looms allowed them to work in five colours when most weavers were producing paisley using only two.
The design became known as the Paisley pattern.
The shawl went out of fashion in the 1870s, but the pattern that had decorated them is still popular around the world today.
The late singer Gerry Rafferty is best remembered for his classic 1970s hit Baker Street but he also wrote songs about his home town Paisley.
Rafferty grew up on the town's Foxbar estate before bursting on to the folk scene with the Humblebums, whose line-up also included Glaswegian comedian Billy Connolly.
With Stealer's Wheel, Rafferty wrote the huge hit Stuck in the Middle With You before  later embarking on a successful solo career.
He also produced numerous hits including The Proclaimers' first single, Letter from America, in 1987.
Rafferty died in 2011 and the town now runs a festival in his honour.
Rafferty was a good friend and contemporary of artist and playwright John Byrne, who grew up in Paisley's Ferguslie Park area.
Byrne wrote the popular BBC TV series Tutti Frutti in 1987, which introduced the world to the talents of Robbie Coltrane, Emma Thompson and Richard Wilson.
And in the theatre, Byrne is best known for The Slab Boys Trilogy, which was based on his own experience of the "slab room" of a Paisley carpet manufacturer.
Byrne's list of other achievements is wide and varied, from designing a Beatles album cover to creating the sets for National Theatre productions.
Former Doctor Who star David Tennant moved to Paisley as a child, with his Church of Scotland minister father.
He made his professional acting debut while still at Paisley Grammar and appeared with the agitprop 7:84 Theatre Company.
Tennant also made an early television appearance in the Scottish TV sitcom Rab C Nesbitt as a transsexual barmaid called Davina.
After his success as the doctor and his appearance in Harry Potter, Tennant has continued to land big roles in shows such as Broadchurch.
The current Doctor Who showrunner and chief writer Steven Moffat, who is also responsible for TV's Sherlock, is also from Paisley.
Scottish tenor Kenneth McKellar was a mainstay of the BBC's Hogmanay celebration programme and the White Heather Club series in the 1960s.
In 1965, the BBC selected McKellar to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in Luxembourg and he came ninth.
The song A Man Without Love became a hit single and he followed it up with successful albums.
Among his unlikely achievements was writing a sketch for Monty Python. It featured in the Secret Policeman's Ball and saw a blindfolded person trying to identify the star beating them up.
On a more serious note, Paisley has a rich and varied cultural heritage dating back hundreds of years.
It also has some of the finest architecture in the UK.
The Grand Fountain, the centrepiece of Fountain Gardens, was gifted to the people of Paisley by the wealthy mill owner, Thomas Coats of the world famous J&P Coats thread manufacturer.


Aberdeen have re-signed Icelandic international defender Kari Arnason on a one-year deal.

The 34-year-old was with the Dons during season 2011/12 before leaving for Plymouth.
He had been in Cyprus with AS Omonia Nicosia since January.
"I heard about it (Aberdeen's interest) about two weeks ago and as soon as I heard I told my agent to get right on it and to try and make it happen," Arnason told Aberdeen's RedTV.
Arnason was part of the Iceland side that defeated England at Euro 2016 and the Malmo team that knocked knocked Celtic out of the Champions League two years ago.
His addition brings manager Derek McInnes' summer recruitment tally to six players, with striker Nicky Maynard, winger Gary Mackay-Steven and midfielder Greg Tansey all signing contracts with the Pittodrie club, while attackers Ryan Christie and Greg Stewart have joined on loan.
Arnason added: "It's good to be back. I'm very happy to have made this move. It's been a journey and I've learned a lot.
"I've gained a lot of experience both in Europe and at club level, so hopefully I can bring something to the table.
"It's always good to feel welcomed. It puts a lot more pressure on me to be fair, but hopefully I'll stand tall and do well."

US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are to skip an arts awards ceremony to allow those taking part "to celebrate without political distraction", the White House says.

Some of those due to take part in the Kennedy Center Honors had said they would boycott the White House reception held before the awards ceremony.
The honours recognise the lifetime contributions of performing artists.
Many artists have been angered by Mr Trump's plans to scrap funding.
In his budget outline in March, he pushed for the end of federal support for public broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Arts.
President Trump is also mired in controversy over his response to recent violence at a white supremacist rally in Virginia.
Republicans and Democrats alike have criticised him for insisting that anti-racism protesters were equally to blame for the violence that ended in the death of a woman.
The White House said in a statement: "The president and first lady have decided not to participate in this year's [Kennedy Center Honors] activities to allow the honorees to celebrate without any political distraction.
"First Lady Melania Trump, along with her husband President Donald J Trump, extend their sincerest congratulations and well wishes to all of this year's award recipients for their many accomplishments."
Dancer and choreographer Carmen de Lavallade, who is due to be honoured at the December ceremony, said earlier this week that she would boycott the related White House reception for honourees.
"In light of the socially divisive and morally caustic narrative that our existing leadership is choosing to engage in, and in keeping with the principles that I and so many others have fought for, I will be declining the invitation to attend the reception at the White House," she said in a statement.
Singer Lionel Richie had also suggested he might not attend, telling the NBC Today programme: "I'm not really happy with what's going on right now with the controversies. They're weekly, daily, hourly."
TV producer Norman Lear, who is to receive a lifelong artistic achievement award, also said he would not attend the White House reception.
"It is more important now than ever that we stand up for artists, for artistic expression, and for the valiant fight that artists fight to reveal the wonder and oneness of the human spirit," he said.


A pedestrian has been killed after being hit by a car while crossing the A64 in North Yorkshire.

The 51-year-old man was hit by a silver Hyundai while crossing the eastbound carriageway at Bilbrough, near Tadcaster, at 22:30 GMT on Monday.
North Yorkshire Police said the man, who has not been named, was pronounced dead at the scene. The car driver was unhurt.
The A64 did not reopen until 03:30 GMT following the collision.


A statue of Jesus wearing jeans has been given a "flaming" new treatment to stop it being used as a pigeon perch.

The bronze statue, which was installed at Our Lady Immaculate and St Philip Neri Church, Uckfield, Sussex, in 2009, had become a popular nesting place.
Droppings from pigeons were spoiling the look of the statue and making the area underneath very slippery.
Parts have now been covered with small pots of an ultraviolet gel which has a flame-like appearance to birds.
The creatures are also disgusted by the smell and taste of the substance.
Alan Duncan, who looks after maintenance at the church, said he was delighted that the gel pots appeared to have deterred the birds.
"We were at a loss as to what to do next. At one point we put anti-bird spikes on various resting places, painting them gold to match the halo.
"Unfortunately, the pigeons were most comfortable with the additions," he added.
The Â£35,000 statue, by Lewes sculptor Marcus Cornish, was commissioned to mark the church's 50th anniversary.
Pigeon faeces are acidic and can cause damage to statues, stone and brickwork.


A glorious summer of sunshine and sporting success should have been even better for more than a dozen lottery players.

Thirteen winning tickets in the National Lottery draw of 27 August remain unclaimed - five of them are £1m wins.
It was a bumper draw that day. There were 67 extra winners in addition to the normal 21 prizes owing to a raffle draw celebrating Team GB's success at the Rio Olympics.
It may have been that players failed to check those extra draw details. It may have been that they were away from home as it was a Bank Holiday weekend in much of the UK. Either way £5.6m is going to lottery good causes if those winners do not make a claim in the next couple of months.
Overall, only 3% of National Lottery prizes go unclaimed. That is a fraction of the sum that people miss out on through unclaimed benefits or compensation.
In today's automated world, why do many of these payouts still require people to make a complaint and a claim?
Nearly £2bn in redress was paid to consumers of financial services in the first half of the year.
While the industry watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority, holds data on the success of compensation schemes in reaching those entitled to payouts, it does not publish all of it.
One of the biggest unknowns is the number of people affected by mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI), and the amount they should receive. This loan insurance was sold on an industrial scale to people who did not want or need it, or who could not claim.
As a result banks have paid out £25bn in compensation in the past few years. Estimates suggest the total bill, were all sales paid back, could be £100bn. An estimated nine million people in the UK could still make a complaint.
So why not simply pay everyone back?
The reason is clear from consultation into a proposed deadline for PPI compensation claims.
"We remain of the view that not all PPI was mis-sold and that, properly sold, PPI could meet some consumers' genuine credit protection needs," the FCA says during the consultation.
So, the FCA says that, in effect, every case must be taken on its merits, and that requires people to make a complaint, despite consumer groups claiming that a huge number of mis-selling victims are missing out.
"We do not consider that there are strong grounds to significantly depart from this complaints-led approach now," the FCA adds.
One of the most controversial compensation cases was the payouts for those mis-sold credit card and identity theft protection by insurer CPP.
Seven million people were eligible for compensation and received letters inviting them to make a claim for compensation. Some consumer groups argued that the letters looked like junk mail.
By the time the claims window expired, more than four million people had missed out. Only a third of those eligible received compensation, averaging £190 each. Just one submitted claim was rejected.
Any kind of dispute that puts the onus on individuals making an initial complaint can be "incredibly stressful" says James Walker, founder of consumer website Resolver.
"Lots of the people I speak to tell me they have simply given up. What is frustrating is people don't realise that the rights they have when it comes to taking things further are actually quite strong," he says.
"You don't have to suffer in silence for long periods of time if you want to escalate your complaint and there are lots of free ombudsman schemes that can help you."
He points to cases such as a pensioner who parked his car to go to the doctors, oblivious of a parking restriction notice that was obscured by a fence. He received a ticket, followed by debt collection notices, but after more than a year in dispute received £350 in refunds and compensation.
Despite these cases, there is a move in some industries for compensation to be paid automatically more often.
In October last year, Virgin became the first train company to automatically compensate some passengers if they are delayed. Travellers using its services on the West Coast mainline - and who book their tickets via the company app or website - receive automatic repayments.
Research has shown that most rail passengers do not bother to claim compensation, even when it is due - a situation that led to a so-called super-complaint by consumers' association Which?.
In the airline industry, where passengers must make a claim for compensation following delays, an estimated 70% of those who have a right to a payout do not claim, according to a comparison website.
Communications regulator Ofcom is also investigating the use of automatic compensation when phone or internet services fail. At present, customers tend to go through one of two ombudsman services.
Proposals to be published by the regulator in the new year are aimed at providing "easier redress" when something goes wrong.
Arguably, the most significant change in redress for consumers may result from the 2015 Consumer Rights Act.
UK consumers may be included automatically in a legal claim for damages in a US-style class action and so receive automatic compensation if the case succeeds. A £14bn legal claim filed against Mastercard seeking damages for anti-competitive card fees is the first significant test of these new rules.
Unclaimed payments are not always in the form of compensation.
Billions of pounds in benefits is unclaimed every year by those entitled to the money.
Up to £4.6bn of Housing Benefit went unclaimed in 2014-15, according to the latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Families entitled to the benefit but not claiming it missed out on an average of £3,000 per year.
Some 1.4 million households failing to receive Pension Credit are missing out on £2,000 a year, the figures show. Entitlements worth thousands of pounds a year were also going unclaimed for employment and support allowance (available to those who are unable to work owing to illness) and jobseekers' allowance.
The DWP says that a lack of awareness of these entitlements and the "perceived stigma" of claiming benefits were thought to be among the reasons that people failed to make a claim.
Some of these payouts will become automatic under the new Universal Credit benefit, which is being gradually introduced across the UK.
Later in life, many people could miss out on retirement income, with millions of pension savings pots lying dormant. These are often small pots of savings from workplace pensions when employees spent a short period of time in jobs and have moved home since.
All this amounts to billions of pounds available to claim - and claim legitimately - without the need for a lucky lottery win.


A housing company has applied for planning permission to build an experimental house that could rise on jacks above flood waters.

The design by Lincolnshire-based Larkfleet Homes can lift the property up to about five feet (1.5m) above the ground.
Larkfleet's chief executive Karl Hick said testing of a prototype had been successful.
The firm now wants to build a "live property" at Weston Hills, Spalding.
Mr Hick said the design allows the property to be raised depending on the flood risk.
He said: "Out prototype has worked wonderfully well, and there have been no issues."
"What we want to do now is get a live property with people living in it, and see how it works over a period of time."
If plans are given the go-ahead by South Holland District Council the firm hopes "to have it up and running in the latter part of 2017", he added.


A journalist with Irish state broadcaster RTÉ was mugged in Edinburgh while covering the Scottish referendum.

In a tweet about the incident Philip Boucher Hayes wrote: "Was told I was 'lucky you're not English'."
He had to hand over his radio recording equipment and then agreed to pay £200 to the muggers to recover it, he said.
The radio reporter told Dublin's Herald newspaper that he had "a bruised ego and a sore jaw" but was "grand otherwise".
In a tweet, he said the incident happened in Niddrie, a suburb of Edinburgh.


James Kettleborough and Aneurin Donald hit career-best scores as Glamorgan dominated the first day's play against Gloucestershire at Bristol.

Jacques Rudolph (17) fell early, but Kettleborough (81) and Colin Ingram (30) added 71 for the second wicket.
Kettleborough put on a further 66 with Donald (91 not out) before being caught off the bowling of David Payne.
Chris Cooke also contributed with a quickfire 65, as rain brought about an early close with Glamorgan on 315-4.
The visitors' score could have been even higher were it not for bad weather, as rain saw 19 overs lost.
Donald's half-century was the third of the 18-year-old's career in first-class cricket, and surpassed his previous best of 67  to end the day on 91.
Glamorgan batsman James Kettleborough told BBC Wales Sport:
"It was very satisfying to get some runs though it would have been nice to go on and get to three figures.
"It was tricky this morning with a bit of dampness around and they bowled well but we got through and it got a bit easier as the day went on.
"Aneurin Donald and Chris Cooke played really well and made it our day, it would be brilliant for Aneurin (to become Glamorgan's youngest Championship centurion), so fingers crossed he goes on and gets a big one."


Egypt's new parliament has elected a speaker from the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement whose Freedom and Justice Party won recent elections.

Mohammed Saad al-Katatni was chosen by a large majority of MPs at the inaugural session of the lower chamber, the People's Assembly.
It was the first meeting of the assembly since the uprising last February that forced former President Hosni Mubarak from power.
Mr Mubarak is currently on trial.
Mr Katatni was backed by 399 out of 503 MPs, state media say.
"This parliament bears a heavy burden, because it must achieve the people's ambitions," he told Nile News TV before the session began.
"I believe that this parliament will in its first session reach agreement on the rights of martyrs, the injured as well as the poor, who were marginalised under the former regime."
Islamists dominated the elections held for the People's Assembly over the past three months, winning 73% of the seats.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party won 235 seats, the ultra-conservative Salafist Nour Party 121 and the moderate al-Wasat Party 10.
Monday's session was chaired by Mahmoud al-Saqqa of the liberal New Wafd party, who at 81 is the oldest member of the assembly.
He began proceedings by ordering a moment of silence for the 850 people who were killed during the 18-day uprising against Mr Mubarak.
The former leader has been accused of ordering the security forces to shoot protesters during last year's mass protests against his rule.
He could face the death penalty if convicted at his trial in Cairo.
The assembly's inaugural session became briefly chaotic when several MPs made impromptu additions to the text of the oath they were taking, provoking angry calls to order from Mr Saqqa.
Freedom and Justice Party - 235 seats (47.2%)
Nour Party - 121 seats (24.3%)
New Wafd Party - 38 seats (7.6%)
Egyptian Bloc - 34 seats (6.8%)
Al-Wasat Party - 10 seats (2.0%)
Reform and Development Party - 9 seats (1.8%)
Revolution Continues - 7 seats (1.4%)
Other parties - 18 seats (3.6%)
Independents - 26 seats (5.2%)
10 seats also appointed by president/military council

Egypt election: Your views
The oath ends with a pledge to respect the constitution and law, but one Islamist added "God's law", while two pro-reform MPs promised to "complete the 25 January revolution" and to respect "the rights of its martyrs".
Several independent MPs and others from liberal and secular groups also wore yellow sashes saying: "No to military trials for civilians."
At least 12,000 people have faced military tribunals since the Supreme Council for the Armed Forces assumed the president's powers.
Held over three phases between 28 November and 11 January, the parliamentary elections were considered the freest in Egyptian history.
The People's Assembly's priority is to select a 100-member panel to draft a new constitution that will be put to a referendum before a presidential election in June, when the ruling generals are scheduled to step down.
The BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo says liberals fear the Muslim Brotherhood and the ruling military council will find a way to share power.
They believe the military may be allowed to maintain its privileges and perhaps be given a veto of a foreign and defence policy, while the Brotherhood may secure greater control over Egyptian society, our correspondent adds.
Liberal and secular parties polled badly, with the New Wafd securing 38 seats, the Egyptian bloc 34 and the Reform and Development Party nine.
The Revolution Continues, a group formed by youth activists behind the uprising that ousted Mr Mubarak, won only seven seats.
The Muslim Brotherhood's leader, Mohammed Badie, said in December the Freedom and Justice Party would form a broad coalition if it won the elections.


Spanish airline Iberia says it has found that the "Palestine comment" allegedly made by one of its pilots, was misunderstood.

The airline investigated complaints that the captain of a flight arriving in Israel announced he was "landing in Palestine".
Iberia found the captain adhered to the standard format, naming only the airports of origin and destination.
Passengers might have confused similar sounding words, the airline said.
Passengers said the pilot made the announcement mentioning Palestine in Spanish, and then said in English the plane was about to land, without mentioning Palestine or Israel.
During the subsequent investigation by the airline, crew members and several Spanish-speaking passengers confirmed that the announcement, given first in Spanish and subsequently in English, was "â€¦ we're now descending to land at our destination, Tel Avivâ€¦".
The airline believes the confusion could have been caused by the similar sound of the Spanish words "destino", meaning "destination", and "Palestina".
"Both the company and the crew regret the misunderstanding and that some of our customers could have been offended by it," the airline said in a statement.
The incident happened as the Iberia Airlines flight 3316 approached Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport on Wednesday, Israeli media reported.
One Israeli passenger, named only as Lior, told Israel's Channel 2 TV: "We were just in shock, I don't understand why he said that.
"We live in the State of Israel and he should have said 'Israel', he didn't absentmindedly say it in English, it was intentional."
Another passenger wrote a letter of complaint to Iberia, saying: "My family and I were terribly offended. It was not at all acceptable and has done a disservice to your company."
Israel became independent on part of what had been British Mandate Palestine following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in World War One. The land was known as Palestine after Roman times, and the name is still applied to the area by Palestinians and ideological opponents of the Jewish state.
Israel and the Palestinians officially back a two-state solution to their conflict, with a Palestinian state emerging alongside Israel, but years of on-off peace talks have so far been unsuccessful.


Thailand's ex-PM Yingluck Shinawatra and a number of family members and politicians have been detained, as leaders of Thursday's military coup tightened their grip on power.

Ms Yingluck and scores of politicians from the deposed government had earlier been ordered to report to the military.
She was kept for several hours and then driven to an undisclosed location.
Army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha also met key officials, telling them reform must come before any elections.
Gen Prayuth summoned governors, business leaders and civil servants to the Bangkok Army Club on Friday.
After seven months the tents, stages and all the paraphernalia of protest are coming down in Bangkok's old quarter. With their goal of a military coup achieved, the weary anti-government movement can declare victory and go home. Armed soldiers now patrol their rally sites, next to the monument that commemorates the birth of Thai democracy 82 years ago.
That democracy is now in ruins. When the army mounted a coup eight years ago it did so almost apologetically and promised a speedy return to democratic rule. This coup wears a grimmer face, and there have been no such promises. Instead, land border crossings are being scrutinised to prevent potential resistance leaders escaping. Those the military fears most have been ordered to give themselves up or face arrest. Dozens are being held incommunicado.
No one knows yet what General Prayuth's real intentions are. He has good reason to worry about resistance. The pro-government Red-Shirt movement is far better organised than eight years ago, and could still be financed by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's deep pockets.
Six of Thailand's most senior military officers have now been appointed to run the country, with provincial commanders supervising local government.
The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says that, unlike in previous coups, there have been no promises of a quick return to civilian rule.
Gen Prayuth told the meeting: "I want all civil servants to help organise the country. We must have economic, social and political reforms before elections. If the situation is peaceful, we are ready to return power to the people."
The general said the coup was necessary to "quickly bring the situation back to normal".
One local official leaving the meeting, Arkom Theerasak, told Associated Press: "There will be an election but it will take a while. The general didn't say when."
Ms Yingluck, who had been prime minister until being removed by the judiciary this month, had been ordered to report to the military along with more than 100 other politicians, including acting PM Niwatthamrong Boonsongphaisan.
It was unclear whether Gen Prayuth met either of them.
Some 155 politicians have been barred from leaving the country.
Our correspondent says it is unclear how many people have been detained but they have been separated and held incommunicado at different bases.
Reuters quoted a military officer as saying Ms Yingluck, her sister and brother-in-law had been held.
Thai military spokesman Col Werachon Sukhondhadhpatipak told the BBC those detained were all  involved in Thailand's political "conflict" and he stressed the army was neutral and impartial in those that it had held.
Col Werachon said the detentions should be not be longer than a week and were intended to keep the detainees away from "tension".
Our correspondent says there were some small and angry protests in Bangkok against the coup earlier on Friday but, although a few people were detained, there has been no serious resistance.
On Thursday the military suspended the constitution and banned political gatherings, saying order was needed after months of turmoil.
The US led widespread international criticism of the coup, saying there was "no justification".
Press fearful after Thai coup
Thailand's armed forces have staged at least 12 coups since the end of the absolute monarchy in 1932.
There has been a power struggle since Ms Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted by the military as PM in 2006.
Mr Thaksin and Ms Yingluck have strong support in rural areas but are opposed by many in the middle class and urban elite.
The latest unrest began last year, when anti-government protesters embarked on a campaign to oust Ms Yingluck. An election was held in February but was disrupted and later annulled by the judiciary.


Jay-Z has several reasons to be happy right now.

Less than a month after it was announced he and his wife Beyonce are expecting twins - he is to receive a top songwriting honour.
Jay-Z is to become the first rapper ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in the US.
A handful of artists who are considered to have "enriched the world's culture" with their songwriting and music are selected for induction every year.
Joining the hall of fame is a huge deal - previous inductees include Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson.
But no rapper has ever made the cut before.
Jay-Z will be inducted as part of the hall's class of 2017 alongside Max Martin, who has written songs for Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande.
Other inductees this year will include Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The duo have written and produced number one singles for Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey and Usher, among many others.
Songwriters are eligible for induction after writing hit tracks for at least 20 years.
This explains why Jay-Z is being inducted now - as he recently passed the 20th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt, released in 1996.
Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, who was one of last year's inductees, said Jay-Z had "changed the way we listen to music".
Madonna and George Michael were both nominated this year as well but weren't chosen this time.

A 46-year-old Christmas pudding unearthed during a house clearance has been declared "dry" but tasty by food experts.

The pudding was donated to the microbiology department to see if it was still fit to eat.
University of Nottingham's Christine Dodd was convinced it posed no threat to her students as it was steamed for five hours first.
The verdict: "It tastes amazing - honestly!"
The pudding, which contains fruit, bread crumbs and brandy among other ingredients, was located in the kitchen of a house.
Mrs Dodd said the results from laboratory tests will not be ready until after Christmas - but the tasters all agreed it was "a little bit dry but very good flavour".
She said any bacteria in the pudding would not have survived the five hours of steaming - and the potent combination of alcohol and fruit.

The researchers were told the pudding was made for the wedding of a relative in 1969 and has the date marked on it.
"We were interested to see just how well it had kept," Mrs Dodd said, adding they wanted to see "whether there was anything still 'live' in there and what condition it was in".
The laboratory results will take several weeks to complete and will be put on the university website.


The Irish minister for justice has welcomed the publication of a  report into the alleged bugging of the office of the police watchdog.

Judge John Cooke was asked to report on the issue after the Sunday Times reported the Garda Ombudsman Commission offices had been under surveillance.
He has found the evidence available does not support the proposition.
It also said it was even more unlikely it would have involved members of the police.
Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Enda Kenny received the Cooke Report last week, while he was on a trade mission to San Francisco.
It is understood that Mr Kenny and senior officials spent the weekend examining Judge John Cooke's findings.
The judge launched the inquiry in February.
He was asked to investigate allegations that the offices of the three-person Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) had been subject to "unlawful surveillance".
The GSOC said in February this year that there were "three electronic anomalies" that could not be explained.
In the report, Judge Cooke concluded that "it is impossible on the basis of the technical opinions and available information, categorically to rule out all possibility of covert surveillance in the three threats identified.
"It is clear that the evidence does not support the proposition that actual surveillance of the kind asserted in the Sunday Times article took place and much less that it was carried out by members of the Garda Síochána [Irish police]."
In light of the report Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald described the findings as clear and measured.
She called for a new "culture of co-operation" between the Garda and GSOC.
In a statement, Garda Commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan said: "An Garda Síochána acknowledges Judge Cooke's finding that 'the evidence does not support the proposition that actual surveillance... took place and much less that it was carried out by members of the Garda Síochána'."
"An Garda Síochána also acknowledges that the working relationship between An Garda Síochána and GSOC needs to be more constructive.
"The relationship does continue to improve and An Garda Síochána is committed to building on that positive engagement with GSOC so as to ensure that there is an independent, objective and effective relationship between us, which is vital for maintaining public trust in policing."


Seven sports are attempting to challenge UK Sport's decision not to fund their programmes for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in 2020.

Badminton is among five sports which were funded for Rio 2016 challenging the decision made in December.
They are joined by goalball - not funded in 2016 - and table tennis which bosses believe are 2020 medal hopefuls.
"We've got a really strong case," Badminton England chief executive Adrian Christy told BBC Sport.
All sports have until Tuesday, 17 January to attempt to challenge the decision.
The decision to cut all funding for badminton came as a surprise after Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis won bronze in Rio and helped GB better the target set by UK Sport.
Although proof of correct governance and 'talent pathways' for young athletes form part of the decision-making process, the most important element of any pitch for funding is to prove they have genuine medal prospects for the next Games.
"Our understanding is that UK Sport doubt our Olympic medal credentials," Christy said.
"However, we have players who have not only won Olympic medals but also won world tour titles and super-series titles and these are the biggest events in our sport and we are regularly beating the best in the world."
In addition to badminton, goalball, table tennis, archery, fencing, weightlifting and wheelchair rugby will all bid for a reprieve. While table tennis does not get Olympic funding, it does receive Paralympic funding.
Powerlifting received about £890,000 going into the 2016 Paralympic Games, at which it beat its minimum target of one medal by claiming two.
As such it was awarded £1.3m for the Tokyo cycle, but British Powerlifting officials believe they deserve more and will also meet UK Sport in the coming weeks.
This is essentially a second opportunity for officials to demonstrate why they deserve funding for the four-year cycle leading into the Tokyo Games.
UK Sport will reveal its findings by the end of February, with those still unhappy with any verdict able to make a formal appeal to the 'Sport Resolutions' board.
It has been claimed the decision not to support the British wheelchair rugby team represents a "discriminatory" attitude, although UK Sport believes the programme does not represent a credible medal prospect for Tokyo.
British wheelchair rugby says it will present "significant new facts" to UK Sport and has a "very strong case" for a funding reprieve.


Gareth Bale scored twice as Real Madrid came from two goals down to maintain their La Liga title hopes with victory at neighbours Rayo Vallecano.

The home side led 2-0 after 14 minutes, as Adri Embarba touched in Bebe's cross before Miku poked home a second.
Bale headed in a Toni Kroos corner, but Real then lost Karim Benzema to injury.
Lucas Vazquez, Benzema's replacement, headed an equaliser before Bale pounced on an Embarba error to send Real top for at least a couple of hours.
Atletico Madrid overtook them with a 1-0 win over Malaga, before Barca thrashed Sporting Gijon 6-0 to go back to the top.
The sight of France forward Benzema hobbling off clutching his thigh three minutes before the interval will have concerned Real manager Zinedine Zidane, with a Champions League semi-final first leg trip to Manchester City to come on Tuesday.
Zidane went into the game without his leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a doubt for the City trip after pulling a thigh muscle during Wednesday's 3-0 league victory over Villarreal.
The Real manager left captain Sergio Ramos, as well as midfielders Casemiro and Luka Modric, out of his starting line-up, with one eye on the match in Manchester.
It looked set to backfire after a quarter of an hour, against a Rayo side looking for revenge after being beaten 10-2 at the Bernabeu in December.
Paco Jemez's side, who are battling to avoid relegation to the Segunda Division, were much more of a match for their Madrid neighbours this time, but ultimately ran out of steam.
Embarba struck for the home side after excellent work down the left from former Manchester United forward Bebe, although Miku also deserved credit for a dummy run that drew defender Danilo to the near post to create space for the scorer.
Real's back line looked disorganised, and conceded a second from a corner as Raphael Varane inadvertently flicked the ball on, and Miku turned in the loose ball from six yards.
A fine save from Real keeper Keylor Navas prevented Bebe's 25-yard shot from flying in for a third.
Bale - returning to action following a back injury - began the visitors' recovery 10 minutes before the interval, with Vazquez heading a fine equaliser from Danilo's right-wing cross early in the second half.
The home side were visibly tiring as the final minutes approached, and it was a weary loose pass from Embarba that allowed Bale to sprint away and slot in a winning goal.


Tributes have been paid to a father and his three-year-old child who were killed in a crash on Christmas Day.

Adesola Olusoga, 32, of Ryswick Road, Kempston, died in the accident on the A421, near Marston in Bedfordshire.
His son Isaiah Olusoga was airlifted to hospital but died soon after. Isaiah's mother is said to be in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
Mr Olusoga's family said in a statement: "Words can't describe how much they will both be missed."
The statement added: "Adesola was a loving brother, son and partner and doted on his son.
"The whole family had enjoyed a lovely day together before this tragedy, which has destroyed our family. Isaiah was completely adored by all of his family.
"He was a beautiful boy who brought a smile to so many faces."
Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash to come forward. No other vehicles were involved.
