Increasingly large TV deals are helping English Premier League clubs to enter "a new era of sustained financial performance", according to Deloitte.

It says the current TV deals saw Premier League clubs generate £3.3bn record revenues in 2014-15, up by 3%.
Top flight clubs also recorded a second straight year of pre-tax profits in 2014-15, for the first time since 1999.
With more lucrative TV deals from 2016, Deloitte says clubs are "looking at at least three more years of big growth".
Launching its 25th Annual Review of Football Finance, Dan Jones from the business consultancy's Sport Business Group said: "What we are seeing is a continuation of club profitability, it is certainly not a one-off.
"We feel Premier League clubs have turned the corner, and are entering a new era of sustained profitability. Clubs are now attractive propositions to investors, and not merely as vanity projects."
He said increased profitability meant that top flight English clubs could compete with overseas teams in order to buy up the best players in the world, and still have money left in reserve.
From 2016-17 clubs will receive even more cash from broadcasters, with Sky and BT Sport paying a record £5.136bn (up from £3.018bn in 2013-16) for live Premier League TV rights for three seasons.
"When the enhanced new broadcast deals commence in the 2016-17 season, operating profits could rise as high as £1bn," Mr Jones said.
He also said that it was encouraging to see that much of this new-found TV wealth was being spent by clubs not only on players, but also on improving stadia and infrastructure.
"The pace of football's financial growth in two and a half decades is staggering," said Mr Jones, referring to the foundation of the Premier League in 1992.
"By half-time of the second televised Premier League game next year, more broadcast revenue will have been generated than during the whole of the First Division season 25 years ago."
He added: "The impact of the Premier League's broadcast deal is clear to see. For the first time, the Premier League leads the football world in all three key revenue categories - commercial, match day and broadcast - and this is driving sustainable profitability.
Although the wages/revenue ratio has increased for the Premier League clubs, Mr Jones does not see this as cause for concern.
"Wage costs grew at a faster rate than revenues in 2014-15 and as a result the division's wages/revenue ratio rose from 58% to 61%," he said.
"However, this represents the second lowest level since 2004-05 and is 10 percentage points lower than in 2012-13.
"In fact, in the last two years, only 30% of revenue increases have been consumed by wage growth, whereas in the five years to 2012-13 this figure was 99%."
Premier League highlights 2014-15
The 92 clubs in the English Premier League and Football League generated more than £4bn in revenues for the first time in 2014-15, a new record.
Meanwhile,  the UK government's tax take from the top 92 professional football clubs in 2014-15 was roughly £1.5bn, up from £1.4bn the previous season.
Deloitte's review of football finance also found that combined revenue for the "big five" European leagues (England, Germany, Spain, Italy, and France) rose 6% to a record €12bn (£9.2bn) in 2014-15.
While the Premier League, Bundesliga and Spain's La Liga were profitable, Italy's Serie A and France's Ligue 1 generated combined operating losses.
In England's second tier, the Championship, combined revenues grew 12% to £548m in 2014-15, exceeding £500m for the first time.
"Wage costs rose by 4% to £541m which, despite a reduction in the wages/revenue ratio from 106% in 2013-14 to 99%, means clubs spent almost as much on wages as they generated in revenue," said Deloitte.
"This remains an unsustainable level of spending without the support of owner funding. This resulted in operating losses of £225m and a combined pre-tax loss of £191m."
In Scotland, Celtic's failure to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League contributed to a fall in Premiership clubs' aggregate revenues of 9%, or some £13m.
However, the Glasgow club still accounted for 50% of all revenues in the division, as they lifted the title for a fourth successive year.
Deloitte said a new deal to market the international (non EEA - European Economic Area) TV rights  meant Scottish football was now being shown in more than 100 countries.


The largest and most comprehensive effort to research air pollution in Britain is underway in London and the skies above it.

As many as 80 scientists from eleven universities are tracking nearly 1,000 different types of gases and particles in the atmosphere.
Pollutants are being measured on the ground, at the top of BT Tower and from a research plane circling the capital.
The project is timed to provide reams of data during the Olympic Games.
It is also intended to help improve air quality forecasting in the years ahead.
One aim is to investigate how much pollution is generated by the capital itself - principally from vehicles - and how much blows in from the industrial centres of continental Europe.
London is frequently in breach of international air quality standards set by the EU and World Health Organisation.
In the two days before the Opening Ceremony of the Games, levels of ozone soared well above the WHO's recommended safe limit of 60 parts per billion over an eight-hour period.
More recently, with cooler and windier weather conditions, pollution levels have been low.
Ozone and other gases such as nitrogen dioxide, together with microscopic particulates, are known to cause a range of damaging health effects, especially respiratory problems.
The project is known as ClearFlo and one of the scientists leading it, Dr James Lee of the University of York, told the BBC that the air contained a "complex cocktail" of chemicals.
"We're trying to find out how pollutants are formed. A lot of the major ones that affect human health are not emitted directly from the backs of vehicles," he said.
"Instead they are formed by a complicated series of reactions that are triggered by sunlight and go on to form other chemicals."
Dr Lee's own research is focused on the precise role played by a short-lived "radical" known as hydroxyl.
Hydroxyl is produced when sunlight hits ozone, at which point it then acts as a catalyst to generate another pollutant, nitrogen dioxide.
The chemical is one of hundreds being monitored by an array of scientific instruments set up in the playground of a school in North Kensington.
The site was picked because the air is typical for a residential area, being 'well-mixed' and not in the middle of a pollution hot-spot.
It is also beside long-term monitoring devices run by King's College London so readings can be compared.
Dr Lee said: "We want to try to understand how the pollutants are formed so we can produce better forecasts of when air quality will be poor.
"The point of that is so that we can advise on the best strategies for abatement in the future."
The instruments are fitted to a mix of shipping containers, vehicles and trailers and are designed to be easily shipped around the world.
Many of these sets of monitoring devices have been deployed to some of the cleanest parts of the planet - Tasmania, the Cape Verde islands and even Antarctica.
So the researchers have a detailed picture of what unpolluted air looks like - and what they are finding in London is very different.
The ground-level measurements are being gathered alongside with data from instruments at the top of the BT Tower - and from Britain's largest atmospheric research plane.
The same aircraft has been used to fly through weather systems including storms - and I reported from it in May.
Now its instruments, fitted to the fuselage and wings, are harvesting samples of contaminated air for realtime analysis and more detailed study on the ground.
The goal is to create a three-dimensional image of the pollution - what's known as the "London plume", a manmade cloud that rises above the capital and then drifts away with the wind.
A key question for London is the source of the pollution. The city's traffic, heating boilers and domestic cookers contaminate the atmosphere but pollution is also occasionally carried over London from the industrial heartlands of northwest Europe.
The flight I joined took off from Cranfield near Bedford, flew over Portsmouth and then skimmed along the English Channel and North Sea coast up to the Wash - sometimes just 50ft above the waves.
The aircraft provides the only feasible way of gathering data at different altitudes.
It was a bizarre sight flying so low over the sea that the plane was lower than the tops of the white cliffs of Dover - and virtually beside giant tankers and a cross-Channel ferry.
Dr Grant Allen of the University of Manchester, on board the flight, explained the point of flying circuits so far from London.
"The idea is to measure the air that's coming off the sea and into London, and the air that comes out the other side.
"That allows us to tell what's happening in the middle - what's being added to the air as it passes over London."
The issue is of more than academic interest. London is repeatedly in breach of EU limits on air quality so identifying the source of pollution matters.
Dr Allen said: "Last year London broke the limits over 30 days of the year - that's very significant and we have to pay fines to the EU.
"So part of this project is to assess whether we're breaking those limits because of the pollution generated in London itself or whether it's pollution that might be coming into the UK from the Continent."
During spells of high pressure, the movement of air tends to come from the East so any pollution from major cities or industrial areas in France and Germany could head our way.
So far the Olympic Games have passed without any pollution problems. Changeable conditions and occasional rain tend to disperse any contaminants.
But if the temperatures rise and the sun comes out - exactly what most people look forward to - the circumstances will be ideal for a build-up of pollution.
For people with respiratory problems, and chronic conditions like asthma, having an accurate forecast could prove extremely useful.
Dr Janet Barlow of the University of Reading, an urban meteorologist, hopes to use the data to enhance the current models for air quality.
"If you think about the sunshine, it's just like turning up the gas on a pot of chemical soup such that the soup starts bubbling up," she said.
"Sunlight can drive some of the chemical reactions that create things like ozone and if you imagine walking around in a hot urban environment, and being exposed to ozone as well, it can have a really bad impact on your health."
The ClearFlo project is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc) and is coordinated by the National Centre for Atmospheric Science. The research aircraft is jointly owned by Nerc and the UK Met Office, the latter supporting the project's flights.


Police are investigating what caused a loud bang after a house was damaged in County Down.

Windows, an oil tank and the back door were damaged at the house on Main Street in Carrowdore, near Newtownards.
It happened at about 03:20 GMT on Wednesday.
Police said there were no reports of any injuries.
The occupants of the house are a couple in their 60s.
The house was cordoned off while officers investigated the circumstances and motive.
Police have appealed for information.


The government is unveiling plans for every home in Britain to be equipped with smart meters by the end of 2019.

It has said that energy suppliers will be responsible for installing the meters in 30 million homes.
So how will this affect householders, and will it cost or save them money?
The government wants every home in Britain to be installed with smart meters - a device that shows exactly how much gas and electricity is being used.
This should bring an end to estimated bills, because the technology could send back an accurate meter reading to your energy company every day.
According to the industry, the technological advance would be the equivalent of using wireless broadband instead of sending a telegram.
There have been thousands of complaints from householders who claim they have been overcharged on direct debit bills.
Consumer groups said this meant energy suppliers were getting free loans from customers. Regulator Ofgem has told the companies to make charges clearer, but said there was no "systematic" abuse of the direct debit system.
Smart meters should put this debate to bed and would mean that householders no longer need to let the gasman in to read the meter.
People might even be able to check their usage on the internet, or share tips for cutting bills on social networking websites.
But installing these meters will be a big job. Some 53 million electricity and gas meters will need to be fitted.
You will not receive a bill from your energy company for installing a new meter, but you will pick up some of the cost in your usual bill.
Energy Minister Charles Hendry says the Â£11.1bn cost of introducing them to 30 million homes and firms from 2014 to 2019 would reap an Â£18.1bn benefit.
The savings will be made by companies who no longer need to pay people to read meters, and the cost of dealing with complaints should fall.
The Commons public accounts committee says that the government must ensure that energy companies pass on these savings to consumers, rather than just boosting their own profits.
Meanwhile, the consumers' association Which? has said the installation programme should be halted, because it is in danger of becoming a "fiasco" owing to spiralling costs.
It is hoped that smart meters may prompt householders to change their habits. These savings might come by switching off the television, rather than leaving it on standby.
There are trials and early installations of smart meters going on at the moment, so some householders have already got them.
Under the plans, each home would get a new smart gas meter and a new electricity meter. One is the "host" meter, that will communicate with you and the supplier.
The responsibility to install them will fall to the energy suppliers, rather than the distribution networks.
There is different branding on smart meters, made by different companies.
However, the plan is for all types of meters to have the same specifications, so if you want to switch suppliers you will not need to get a new meter installed.
These specifications are still being ironed out among suppliers before the main roll-out begins.
Switching suppliers to get a better deal should be as easy as it is now.
You will not get a different meter if you pay in different ways - such as pre-payment or quarterly by cheque.
Large businesses should have smart meters relatively quickly.
Small businesses should get smart meters in the same time-frame as consumers.


At least 97 African migrants, including women and children, are missing after their boat sank off the Libyan coast, a coastguard spokesman has said.

A total of 23 male survivors were rescued while clinging to a floating device, Ayoub Kassem added.
Rescue operations are continuing, but the chances of finding more survivors are slim, reports say.
Libya is a major transit point for migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe.
At least 590 of them have died or have gone missing along the Libyan coast so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Survivors reported that 15 women and five children were among those missing when the latest boat sank less than 10km (6 miles) off the coast of the capital, Tripoli.
"What happened is that the base of the boat got wrecked and the boat had sunk," Mr Kassem was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
Survivors said the inflatable boat had set off with about 120 people on board, most from Sub-Saharan Africa.
Nearly 25,000 migrants have arrived in Europe since the beginning of the year, taking a perilous journey across the Mediterranean.
Their exit from Libya is made easier but more dangerous by the disbandment of Libya's security forces in the aftermath of the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Some militias act as unofficial coastguards but are often accused of profiteering from people smuggling.
A 12-year-old survivor from Ivory Coast - now being accommodated at the Maitiga detention centre in the Libyan capital Tripoli - told the BBC's Rana Jawad that "the boat broke and my mother died".
A BBC producer at the detention centre said survivors had been given blankets and water.
Another survivor, Mohamed Amine from Mali, told the BBC: "We were at sea in the boat for three daysâ€¦ we were rescued after it capsized."


A man arrested following the death in Kent of a man who died when a trench collapsed on him has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

The 36-year-old man from Ramsgate had been questioned on suspicion of corporate manslaughter.
The victim, who has yet to be formally identified, has been named locally as 24-year-old Callum Osborne.
He had been working on a building site in Bridgefield Road, Whitstable, on Thursday when the trench collapsed.
He was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Kent Police is investigating the incident, along with the Health and Safety Executive.


West Bromwich Albion have signed left-back Brendan Galloway from Premier League rivals Everton on a season-long loan deal, with no recall option.

The Zimbabwe-born 20-year-old, who has played for England's youth teams up to Under-19 level, began his career as a trainee at Milton Keynes Dons.
He has made 21 appearances for Everton, including 16 starts in the top flight.
"It's really important to gain more experience. Coming here is the perfect opportunity to do that," Galloway said.

There are no plans to let local councils in Wales raise council tax to pay for social care, the Welsh Government has said.

Councils in England are already allowed to charge an extra 2% to fund social care, but the figure could be raised.
The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) said councils face a £92m "black hole" in social care budgets next year.
It said councils would continue to call for social care to be fully funded centrally by the Welsh Government.
For the first time this year, councils in England have been able to add 2% to council tax bills through an extra charge called the social care precept.
It is understood the UK government could confirm later this week it will grant permission to increase the precept to raise even money.
No such system has been introduced in Wales.
The WLGA said cuts to social care budgets have been lower in Wales than in England, but added that authorities still faced a £92m black hole for in funding for social care in 2017-18.
It said council tax would have to rise by 8% to cover the gap, equivalent to 6% of the entire social care budget of £1.6bn in Wales.
Currently, there is an informal cap of 5% on council tax increases in Wales.
A spokesman for the WLGA said: "The social care funding crisis in England shows what happens when the system becomes chronically underfunded.
"Placing the burden on the council tax payer is not a long-term solution for a problem which requires a more sustainable approach.
"In Wales, social care budgets are forecast to double by 2031 to keep up with demand, according to a recent report by the NHS Foundation.
"In 2017-18 alone, councils in Wales are facing a £92m pressure, half due to the demographics of an ageing population and half due to workforce pressures such as the National Living Wage.
"Councils are having to absorb these pressures next year but we will continue to call for them to be fully funded centrally."
The Welsh Government has said next year's provisional budget gives local authorities a "stable platform", and it expected local authorities to limit the impact on taxpayers when council tax levels are set.
The 22 councils will share £4.1bn of central funding next year, a cash increase of £3.8m on 2016-17 but a real terms cut once inflation is taken into account.


It towers over the Olympic Park and has been officially unveiled as the biggest sculpture in the UK.

'The Orbit' is the huge sculpture that's been built next to the Olympic Stadium in London.
The giant tower has been designed by world famous sculptor Anish Kapoor.
It's hoped it'll attract as much attention as the famous 'Bird's Nest' stadium in Beijing for the last Olympics.
5,000 visitors a day will be able to go up to get amazing views.
It's not been cheap to build though, costing over Â£20 million, but most of that has been given by a rich company that makes steel.
Some people have described the unusual looking Orbit as looking like an exploding red paper clip and a fairground helter-skelter gone wrong!
Once it opens to the public in July visitors will be able to catch a lift up the 35-storeys to the top.
The record breaking steel structure is 22 metres higher than the famous Statue of Liberty in New York.
At exactly 114.5 metres tall it towers over the Olympic stadium next door, which only measures in at about 60 metres.
The Orbit is made up of mostly twisted red steel, which makes it stand out, and over the half the steel used is recycled.
Which is a good job, because in total it took 2,000 tonnes of steel to build.
It will be officially opened to visitors on 28th July.


Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy will take a four-shot lead into the final round of the Masters as he continues his quest to win a first major title.

McIlroy, 21, carded a two-under-par 70 to move to 12 under, four clear of 2009 Masters champion Angel Cabrera, Charl Schwartzel, KJ Choi and Jason Day.
England's Luke Donald (69) is on seven under with Australia's Adam Scott (67).
Tiger Woods (74) finished five under, while defending champion Phil Mickelson (71) moved to three under.
England's Ross Fisher (71), left-handed American Bubba Watson (67), 51-year-old Fred Couples (72), the 1992 champion and Australian 2006 US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy (73) are also at five under.
I'm pleased with the way I played. I just made nothing
McIlroy, who will be 22 next month, would become the second youngest Masters champion after Woods won at 21 years, three months and 14 days when he captured the first of his four Green Jackets and first of 14 major titles in 1997.
"It's a great position to be in," said McIlroy."I stayed patient. I'm really happy with the way I stuck to my gameplan and it paid off in the end. I feel comfortable with my game, with the way I've prepared and all of a sudden I finally feel comfortable on this golf course."
McIlroy edged to 11 under with a birdie on the short fourth but handed it back immediately at the tough par-four fifth as playing partner Day took over the lead with a birdie. Day dropped two quick shots to slip back but when McIlroy bogeyed the 10th he found himself in a three-way lead with Day and Choi.
The South Korean quickly dropped two shots though and Day bogeyed the long 13th as McIlroy made a birdie to re-establish a two-shot lead.
Both birdied the par-five 15th, and when Day bogeyed the par-three 16th McIlroy had a three-shot lead over the Australian and clubhouse leaders Cabrera and Schwartzel. McIlroy advanced to 12 under with a 33ft putt on 17 and parred the 18th to put him in sight of a first major title on only his third visit to Augusta. The average for a Masters winner is six trips to Augusta before a first win.
To McIlroy's generation, Woods is the icon, the man they watched as kids, the man who changed the sport. They could be about to get their own icon

Masters debutant Day, 23, a winner on the PGA Tour last year, is bidding for his first major title and the chance to become the first Australian to win at Augusta, after Greg Norman finished second three times (1986, 1987, 1996).
Choi, 40, placed third in 2004 and fourth last year and is also bidding for his first major, while Cabrera beat Kenny Perry in a play-off for his second major title two years ago.
"Obviously I'm playing my 12th Masters, I've won here before, it's very special," said the 41-year-old Cabrera.
"You've got to see how it evolves, how everybody is playing, how the weather is, and depending on that, then you start making decisions on what kind of strategy you're going to use."
World number four Donald, who was third in 2005, said: "It's put me in a good position, I've still got a great chance, which is always the goal at Majors to be in contention and have a chance."
Woods struggled to get going and missed a golden chance to make up ground when he found the 15th in two. But a three-putt par kept him at six under and a scrappy finish, saving par well on 17 and bogeying 18, dropped him back into the pack.
"I'm pleased with the way I played. I just made nothing," said Woods. "I also had a couple of three-putts out there so not very good. I'm going to have to put together a good front nine and see what happens."
Scottish debutant Martin Laird ended in a group on four under after a second 69, while England's Lee Westwood, last year's runner-up, carded a two-over 74 to slip to three under, with countryman Ian Poulter (71) two under  and Justin Rose (also 71) one under.
"I really don't think I can give you my thoughts," Westwood told reporters afterwards. "I'd turn into Wayne Rooney if I attempted to do that."
Spain's Sergio Garcia enjoyed something of a resurgence from his recent slump and climbed to six under with three birdies on the front nine but he bogeyed the 10th and 12th either side of a double bogey on 11, while two more dropped shots on the 14th and 18th saw him finish on one under.
"Well, a disappointing day," he said. "I tried hard, but I don't know, just my head kind of went out on nine and I just couldn't recover.  But it's been the same all week.  It's a work in progress and we need to get better at it.
"There's been some good positive things and unfortunately today it's been a really bad nine and there's nothing you can do about that."

Downing Street in London is home to one of the most photographed front doors in Britain.

But 130 mile (209km) away its lesser-known namesake, Downing Street in Newport, has no such claim to fame.
While one has been home to prime ministers for almost three centuries, the other has some residents who have never seen the inside of a polling station.
One is lined with armed police officers, the other with wheelie bins.
And according to Zoopla, there is a Â£1.72m difference in average property prices.
Homes that share a postcode with London's 10 Downing Street are worth on average Â£1.8m. But if you share a postcode with 10 Downing Street in Newport, your property will be worth on average less than Â£80,000.
The street falls in the constituency of Newport East where Labour's Jessica Morden is seeking re-election. The Independents, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, UKIP and Plaid Cymru are also fielding candidates.
Emma Lewis, 32, who lives on Downing Street, in the Newport suburb of Lliswerry, has never voted.
"It doesn't make any difference never mind who's elected, they're all just the same," she said.
And she believes politicians are self serving: "They're all out for themselves. It never changes anything for the better. The poor person always ends up out of pocket."
Across the road, Graham Jones, 70, does not have much love for a lot of politicians either.
"[The elections is] a chance to get rid of this stinking government that we've got," he said.
"The best thing that this country's got is the National Health Service. To see this Conservative government trying to privatise it so that their cronies can make more money is not on."
Mr Jones is a Labour supporter and has displayed a campaign leaflet in his front window.
He said when the snap election was called he felt "out of this world" and "totally elated".
"The National Health Service would be safe with a Labour government under Jeremy Corbyn," he said.
"Hopefully he'll add his weight and nationalise the industries from private ownership back into public hands such as the railways, our electric, gas, you name it. The quicker we get them renationalised the better."

Further down the street, Sayad said he "doesn't have a lot of interest in politics" but he likes the Labour party.
He is a Jeremy Corbyn fan: "I like him, he's a lovely leader, a good leader" and he thinks he is the man to improve the NHS and schools so will "definitely" give him his vote.
Another Downing Street resident, Stefan Kibbey, has previously voted for UKIP, Labour and Plaid Cymru but this time Theresa May is getting his vote.
He said Labour had become "too left wing" and he would have voted for UKIP but he is not a fan of the party's new leader Paul Nuttall.
"I don't think he's a politician. How he got elected as leader I don't understand," he said.
Despite voting for Plaid previously, he said his "politics have changed".
"I think you've got to be a bit soft in the head with their policies," he claimed. "God knows what the country would be like if they ever took over."
And despite liking a lot of the Green's policies he said: "In a general election I couldn't vote for them."
So he will vote to keep the prime minister in No 10: "I think [Theresa May] is carrying on Nigel Farage's work and I admire him very much."
He and his neighbour Ms Lewis share a disregard for politicians generally.
"I like some of them but most of them are just on the gravy train. They're career politicians and they get out of it as much as they can," he added.
Jason Barbour, 30, said he was "voting for change" and would vote Labour on Thursday.
"We need a change in this country. I'm looking for anything positive. Help for veterans, unemployed."
He has decided to vote Labour despite being unimpressed by Jeremy Corbyn: "I'm voting for my Wales minister, Carwyn Jones."


Twelve previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix tracks are to be released on a new album next year.

The late musician's website revealed the songs on People, Hell and Angels were recorded in 1968 and 1969.
It is thought Hendrix had intended them for First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, his follow-up to Electric Ladyland, which he was working on when he died.
The album is due to be released in the US on 5 March, although a UK release date has yet to be set.
Hendrix's website said the tracks suggest "new, experimental directions", as he worked on material separate from the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
It added he explored "fresh diversions from his legendary guitar work", trying out horns, keyboards, percussion and a second guitar.
Rolling Stone magazine revealed the album's cover artwork on Wednesday.
Hendrix is also about to hit cinemas around the world, with his set from the 1969 Woodstock festival released later this month.
It will be screened at more than 30 cinemas across the UK from 29 November to celebrate 70 years since the musician's birth.
The reassembled archive footage captures Hendrix premiering a new band and performing tracks such as Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Fire, Purple Haze and a rendition of Star Spangled Banner.


The "huge dependency" of refugees on wood- and charcoal-based fuels has horrific consequences for their health, a report has warned.

The authors calculated cooking with wood caused 20,000 premature deaths among displaced people each year.
The use of alternatives, such as improved cookstoves and solar lamps, could save money and lives, they added.
The findings, produced by UK think-tank Chatham House, were published as part of the Moving Energy Initiative.
The initiative is an international consortium of organisations looking for sustainable - secure, safe and affordable - ways to meet the energy needs of the estimate 60 million people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes.
Most of the nine million refugees who have been forced to flee their homes and live in camps face horrendous energy poverty, the report concludes.
"We think now is an important time to look at this issue because of the crisis of displacement and the crisis of migration that we are seeing across the world," explained co-author Glada Lahn, a senior research fellow at Chatham House.
"We have numbers edging towards 60m people, and it is rising. This is greater than the populations of Australia and Canada put together."
Against the backdrop of the rising number of displaced people around the world, Ms Lahn told BBC News that funding was falling.
"There is a real crisis in terms of keeping up and how to make sure that these people, who are often in very vulnerable situations, are protected and are able to maintain some kind of human dignity," she said.
The report highlighted that energy use among displaced people was economically, environmentally and socially unsustainable, with women and children bearing the greatest cost.
Ms Lahn said their research suggested that about 90% of people living refugee camps had no access to electricity.
"Many of them live in the dark at night because there is very little street lighting. There is a huge dependence on wood-based fuels, such as charcoal, for cooking. About 77% of energy use came from wood and charcoal," she observed.
"Reliance on these fuels disproportionately affects women and girls. This is because it is almost always women and girls that go outside of the camps to collect firewood. There are so many instances of attacks and rape."
The problem of no or inadequate access to energy sources was part of a much greater problem worldwide, she added.
"There are about 2.9bn people in the world living with very inadequate access to energy. Displaced people are part of this group but it tends to be a grey area.
"They tend to fall under the humanitarian umbrella, which tends to have quite a short outlook in terms of funding and budgets. It also tends to be politically constrained because host countries do not want to see long-term planning where shelters are made more efficient or infrastructure is introduced."
Despite their temporary appearance, there are examples of refugee camps in various parts of the world that have been there for decades yet the power infrastructure remained temporary or non-existent.
"People want to bring up their kids to study, to start businesses yet the lack of energy is a disabler," Ms Lahn said.
The report highlighted a number of solutions, including a number of logistically straightforward quick fixes.
It suggested that the widespread introduction of basic improvements, such as cooking stoves and solar lamps, could generate savings of about US $323m (Â£213m) a year in fuel costs.
It also recognised that a number of private sector companies had developed green energy systems, such as solar mini-grids, that were appropriate for low-income communities.
Such solutions for refugee camps could be shared with host nations in an effort to improve energy access and energy security for the area's wider population, it added.
Ms Lahn observed that this approach to meeting people's energy needs would not only help tackle health and security concerns, it would also help lift people out of extreme poverty and reduce the environmental cost of using wood fuels, such as deforestation and emissions.
UK International Development Minister Grant Shapps, whose department supports the Moving Energy Initiative, said:
"Across sub-Saharan Africa, hundreds of millions of people still do not have access to electricity. Women and girls are at risk of violence after dark, families are forced to inhale toxic kerosene fumes, and energy remains unaffordable for many," he said.
"With the technology in place and investors coming on board, the time to act is now.
"Supporting the Moving Energy Initiative is another way Britain can help boost access to clean, reliable and affordable energy. This will transform people's lives and help achieve the UN's goal of universal energy access by 2030."
In his foreword to the report, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan recognised the role that the private sector could play in meeting the energy challenge facing the world's growing population of displaced people.
"Entrepreneurship and amazing advances in technology are not being used systematically to respond to the needs of uprooted people or the communities that host them," he wrote.
"Getting this right could yield significant benefits for humanitarian organisations, host authorities and governments and, above all, for the livelihoods and dignity of the forcibly displaced."
In order to unlock this potential solution, Ms Lahn suggested that the issue needed to be placed higher up the list of priorities within the humanitarian sector.
"Energy is not yet one of the core considerations in the humanitarian system. You have focuses on water, shelter, protection etc. Many of these things rely on energy but energy itself is not one one of the core considerations so it tends not to be a focus for procurement or long-term planning," she said.
"Budgets often tend to be over a 12-month period so there is no capacity for making a large, upfront investment for things such as solar equipment or insulation.
"Therefore, it means that they are unable to access the relatively short pay-off periods that the technologies offer.
"Funding and budgeting are big challenges to overcome. It would really help organisations to have a central fund that they could access."


The bodies of 23 people killed in a plane crash in a remote area of Nepal have been found and are being returned to their families, the army says.

The recovery effort succeeded on Thursday after bad weather hampered earlier bids to reach the crash site.
It is about 3,900m (13,000ft) high and can only be reached on foot or by helicopter in good weather.
The black box of the aircraft operated by Tara Air has also been found, the Civil Aviation Authority says.
It will be handed over to a five-member investigation team formed by the government to look into the crash.
The Twin Otter flew into the mountainside shortly after taking off on a flight from Pokhara to Jomsom.
Most of those on board were Nepalis. The bodies are being returned to their families in Pokhara, Kathmandu and Jomsom.
Nepal's aviation industry has a poor safety record but it is not yet clear what caused Wednesday's crash.
The identities of those on board have yet to be released. Two of those on board the plane were children.
It was carrying three crew and 20 passengers, one of them Chinese and one Kuwaiti.
About 300 members of the security forces took part in the rescue operation, police told local media.
On Thursday afternoon they were able to take advantage of a significant improvement in the weather.
Police say the recovery effort was still tough however because some bodies were badly burned in the crash and were scattered across a wide area of the mountain.
The plane's wreckage was found near the village of Dana in Myagdi district, officials say.
It is about 100km (62 miles) from Pokhara.
The flight was meant to take just under 20 minutes but an official told the BBC Nepali Service that the aircraft had lost contact with the control tower at Pokhara 10 minutes after take-off.
Tara Air said on its website that "the weather at both origin and destination airports was favourable".

Pokhara is a resort town some 200km (125 miles) west of the capital Kathmandu. Jomsom, a short distance further north, is the starting point for many people trekking in the Himalayas.
Nepal's limited road network means that many areas are accessible only on foot or by air.
Since 1949, the year the first aircraft landed in Nepal, there have been more than 70 crashes involving planes and helicopters, in which more than 700 people have been killed.
Most accidents have been attributed to bad weather, inexperienced pilots and inadequate maintenance.
In 2013, the European Union banned all Nepalese airlines from flying to its territory for safety reasons.


England head coach Mark Robinson says Sarah Taylor has had an "incredible year" after naming her in his squad for the World Cup, which starts in June.

Taylor took an indefinite break from cricket in May 2016 to help deal with anxiety problems.
The 28-year-old returned to England action for a one-day international against Ireland in Dubai in April.
"She'll have learned a lot about herself and faced up to a lot of battles," Robinson told BBC Sussex.
"She feels confident enough to put herself forward for selection. We've got a bit of time to go yet for her to keep doing what we call a graduated return and that's what she's done.
"She's managed to conquer most of her battles at the moment, so the medical team are confident enough, she's confident enough and she's ready to go."
Taylor has played in 101 one-day internationals for England, averaging 39.76 with the bat.
"Sarah's mental wellbeing and mental health is the most important thing, and that's the same for any cricketer," Robinson continued.
"What I do know with Sarah, and with you with me or with any of us, is if you're physically fit and mentally fit you can do a lot in our jobs and in our lives so we have to protect that side of Sarah.
"If she keeps ticking the right boxes and doing the right things to keep her mental health going and her physical fitness going, she's got every chance of having a really successful World Cup."


A mother and daughter killed in a house blaze died together in an upstairs room, an inquest has heard.

Alina, 41, and 11-year-old Emilia Kordaszewska died in the fire in South Street, Braintree, on 21 December.
The fire was started accidentally by a candle. No official cause of death has been released but provisional tests suggested they died from smoke inhalation.
An inquest was opened by Chelmsford coroners and adjourned to 27 March.
Essex Fire Service, which investigated the blaze, said the candle which caused it was in the lounge on the ground floor of the house.

A crowdfunding page set up by friends of Mrs Kordaszewska's eldest daughter, Milena, who survived the fire, has so far raised more than Â£24,000 to help the family.


Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson wants to build his side around midfielder Carl McHugh after the club captain signed a new two-year deal.

The 24-year-old, who moved to Fir Park from Plymouth Argyle last summer, is now contracted to the club until 2019.
"He's at the centre of the type of team we're trying to build," Robinson told Motherwell TV.
"He's a captain in every sense of the word, both on and off the park. He's committed to what we're trying to do."
Keith Lasley was the Motherwell skipper, but he has now retired from playing to focus on his role as Robinson's assistant manager.
McHugh missed almost four months at the beginning of last season due to a fractured eye socket, but became an integral player under former manager Mark McGhee and then Robinson when he took over in March.
"I'm thrilled and it's great for me to get this tied up before the season starts," McHugh said.
"We've been speaking about it for a few weeks now and it's been pretty much agreed for a while now, so it's good to get it over the line.
"With the way the season started for me last season, missing the first six months, it's been great since then and I'm delighted now - getting the captaincy was obviously a huge honour for me."
Robinson has been overhauling the squad during the summer, making nine signings, but he also hopes to extend the contracts of other players.
"We are absolutely delighted that Carl has extended his stay at the club," Robinson added.
"We continue to discuss extended terms with other players in the squad and hopefully we'll have some good news there too."


A botched armed robbery in north Germany last June was the work of three wanted militants from the far-left Red Army Faction (RAF), police say.

The RAF, also called the Baader-Meinhof gang, killed more than 30 people in an anti-capitalist terror campaign in the 1970s and 80s.
In 1998 an RAF declaration said the "urban guerrilla project" had ended.
Shots were fired at an armoured security van near Bremen last June, but the militants could not open its doors.
The three fled the scene - a supermarket car park in Gross Mackenstedt - in a Ford Focus, having failed to grab the cash that was inside the van. The two security men inside were unhurt, German broadcaster NDR said.
Police have only now identified the robbers' DNA from fingerprints, naming the suspects as ex-RAF militants Ernst-Volker Staub, 58, Daniela Klette, aged 57, and Burkhard Garweg, whose age is unknown.
Experts on the RAF believe the militants may be running out of money as they get older, and not that they are staging robberies in order to finance a new urban guerrilla campaign.
Born from the radical student movement of the late 1960s, the RAF comprised mainly middle-class youngsters who saw themselves as fighting the West German capitalist establishment.
At the peak of the group's popularity, around a quarter of young West Germans expressed some sympathy for the militants.
Their critics denounced them as murderous nihilists - desperate for a cause but with no real political goals.
Red Army Faction: Germany's most infamous far-left guerrilla group
According to investigators, the militants drove up to the security van in a VW van, which they then reversed into a wall, blocking the target vehicle.
The three wore masks and camouflage gear. Video footage from surveillance cameras showed them armed with two Kalashnikov assault rifles and a grenade launcher.
At least three shots were fired - a bullet burst one of the van's tyres, another shattered the windscreen and a third was found embedded in the van's armour.
The Ford Focus getaway car was found abandoned a week later in woodland near Gross Ippener - about nine minutes' journey from the crime scene.
NDR reports that DNA from Klette and Staub was also found after a similar armed robbery in Duisburg, in the Ruhr region of western Germany, in 1999.
The RAF had links with radical Arab militants in the Middle East and targeted German bankers, businessmen, judges and US servicemen.
The German criminal police - BKA - has put wanted notices on the internet for the three, offering rewards for information that leads to their capture.


Part-time staff and a salary increase have been offered by London Underground (LU) as a solution to running the new Night Tube service.

A 24-hour operation on five lines had been due to start at weekends on 12 September but it was delayed in a row over staff pay and conditions.
LU has now said a previous three-year pay offer will be extended to a fourth year and it would hire part-time staff.
The RMT, Aslef and TSSA unions have said they are considering the offer.
More on this story and other news from London
They have been seeking assurances on how many night shifts their members would have to work amid concerns it could impact their work-life balance.
Lengthy talks held at the conciliation service Acas have so far failed to make a breakthrough.
LU has now offered to employ part-time staff to cover the shifts with a Â£500 bonus for all those working on the Night Tube lines - Jubilee, Victoria, Piccadilly, Central and Northern.
The updated offer includes a pay rise of RPI inflation plus 0.25% in year four, as well as an average of 2% and RPI in the first year dropping to 1% plus RPI in years two and three.
But it said the new deal no longer included a Â£200 bonus per Night Tube shift for drivers.
LU has urged the unions to put the revised deal to their members.
Steve Griffiths, chief operating officer at LU, said: "We have listened to union feedback and have made absolute guarantees which mean no existing driver will have to work the Night Tube, unless they choose to do so. Instead we will hire part-time train drivers.
"We have also been working hard to secure a long-term pay deal in order to provide certainty for our staff and for London, so we are now adding a fourth year to the deal.
"This does not come at any additional cost to the taxpayer as it will be covered by our business plan."
Unions took industrial action during the summer having called for increased pay and a limit on how many all-night shifts their members would be asked to do.


Many youngsters in Wales are being "left behind" with Brexit "uncertainty" set to make the situation worse, the children's commissioner has said.

Prof Sally Holland believes those with mental health problems and in poverty are most at risk, while some being home-educated go "under the radar".
In her annual report she has called on the Welsh Government to publish a specific programme to help.
A spokeswoman said it would study the report and "respond in due course".
Prof Holland pointed to the Welsh Government's pledge to give every child in Wales the best possible chance in its programme for government.
But with the UK likely to start a two-year process of leaving the European Union in March 2017, she is worried this could affect ongoing work.
"I'm concerned that the uncertainty surrounding the impact of Brexit on Wales will see a delay in us breaking down these barriers for some of our most disadvantaged children and young people," she said.
"A post-Brexit settlement for Wales must ensure that no groups of children are left behind."
Prof Holland called on the Welsh Government to publish a specific programme with a clearly defined plan for helping disadvantaged youngsters reach their potential.
Over the past year, she has met and spoken to 4,000 children and young people and surveyed 6,000, with these meetings helping to guide her work.
Her report also includes calls for laws to protect children from physical assault and more support for youngsters with additional learning needs and mental health issues.
She said all children who are home educated should be registered and seen by someone outside the family to get their views.
Also, Prof Holland believes access to post-adoption support is inconsistent and lags behind England.
In response, a Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "We thank the children's commissioner for her report. We will study it and respond in due course.
"The cabinet secretary for communities and children has already outlined his priorities for children which include investing in early years and preventing adverse childhood experiences."


A mosque under refurbishment has collapsed in Somalia, killing at least 15 people and injuring 40.

It happened during Friday prayers as the building, in the capital Mogadishu, was packed with worshippers.
Hundreds of people are reported to have been inside the building when it collapsed and some are still believed to be trapped under the rubble.
An engineer on the refurbishment project has been arrested on suspicion of negligence, local media report.
Some media outlets report that worshippers were at prayer, while others say more than 100 people were pouring a concrete foundation after prayers when the structure collapsed.
Most of the dead were construction workers, the privately-owned Radio Shabelle reported.
The state-owned Somali National News Agency said the incident took place in Dayniile district.
Country profile: Somalia
Heavy rains have fallen on the area over the past few days.
The Somali government controls Mogadishu and other cities, but militants from the al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabab dominate many rural areas.
More than 22,000 African Union soldiers and police are deployed in the country to protect the government.


The former boss of Anglo Irish Bank has been arrested on an extradition warrant, the US Attorney's Office in Massachusetts says.

David Drumm will now remain in custody in Boston until his hearing in federal court on Tuesday.
He moved to the US in 2009, the same year Anglo Irish collapsed and was bailed out by Irish taxpayers.
Mr Drumm, who ran Anglo Irish Bank from 2005 to 2008, subsequently filed for bankruptcy in the US.
However, the bankruptcy bid failed and a Boston court ruled that he could be held liable for debts of 10.5m euros (Â£8.34m).
It was alleged during the case that the 48-year-old former bank boss secretly transferred money and assets to his wife, so they could not be seized during bankruptcy proceedings.
It was reported in January that the Republic of Ireland was seeking his extradition.
Bailing out the bank cost Irish taxpayers around 30 billion euros (Â£22bn: $34bn), close to one-fifth of annual output.
Its downfall played a large role in the collapse of the Irish economy in 2008 and the ensuing bailout from its eurozone partners two years later.


Campaigners say there are big regional differences in the proportion of women smoking during pregnancy, with rates much higher in poorer areas.

NHS data shows 27.2% of mothers-to-be in Blackpool smoke throughout pregnancy compared with 2.1% in Westminster.
And, each year, more than 70,000 pregnancies are affected by smoking.
The overall rate has fallen to below 11% in England, but the Smoking in Pregnancy Challenge Group report urges a national target of below 6% by 2020.
Each year, smoking during pregnancy in the UK causes an estimated:
According to data from the Health & Social Care Information Centre, there is wide regional variation in the number of women who smoke in pregnancy.
Their latest figures show one in five women living in the Durham, Darlington and Tees area report having smoked during pregnancy compared with one in 20 women in London.
The group of 20 organisations behind the campaign includes Action on Smoking and Health, Bliss, the Faculty of Public Health, the Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of Nursing.
Action on Smoking and Health chief executive Deborah Arnott said the government must maintain "a strong commitment to tackling smoking among pregnant women".
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists president Dr David Richmond added: "Stopping smoking is the most important thing a pregnant woman can do to improve her baby's health, growth and development and reduce unnecessary pregnancy complications."
Prof Russel Viner, at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said smoking rates among teenage mothers-to-be remained considerably higher than the rest of the population.
"They are almost six times as likely to smoke throughout pregnancy as women who are over 35," he said.
"We also know that there are big regional variations, with rates much higher in poorer communities.
"We cannot be complacent."


Demonstrations have taken place across Wales over President Donald Trump's decision to halt the US refugee programme.

About 1,000 demonstrators gathered in Cardiff, with more in Swansea, Bangor, Aberystwyth and Cardigan.
First Minster Carwyn Jones has said a state visit to the UK by the US president  "should be put on hold".
But the UK's Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said he would welcome Mr Trump to Wales.
On Friday, Mr Trump signed an executive order indefinitely banning all Syrian refugees and suspending the entry of all nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.
The ban applies to nationals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
Cardiff has one of the largest Somali communities in the UK.
Youth worker Ali Abdi said: "I think it's important to get behind protests like this. Today it's the Muslims, tomorrow it could be any other community just like us who are going to be persecuted.
"I think it's great to be standing side by side in solidarity."
American student Ash Cox organised the protest in Cardiff.
She said: "My ancestors on my father's side were Jewish immigrants seeking religious freedom.
"For us to turn away those seeking religious freedom now is really hypocritical."
Shavanah Taj, Welsh Secretary of PCS union accused President Trump of "normalising hatred, racism, bigotry, inequality and injustice."
"That is not something we should be signing up to," she said.
Katie Gill joined the protestors in Bangor.
"If it makes the person who delivered my daughter - a man from Libya - feel a little more assured that people don't think the same, that's something in my eyes."
Swansea protestor Bailey Ann said: "There could be a lot of young people that agree with Trump that will start being nasty to people of the same age from a different culture.
"There's no need for it. We should all be living in a peaceful, sound world."
Former Plaid Cymru assembly member and chief executive of Youth Cymru, Helen Mary Jones attended the protest in Cardiff.
She said: "A lot of young people in minority communities are feeling really frightened in this kind of environment and they need to hear the message that we're sending today.
"Refugees are welcome in our communities and we won't put up with people not being allowed to travel because of the colour of their skin or the faith that they believe in."
Downing Street has rejected calls to cancel the state visit, saying it would be a "populist gesture".
Mr Jones has told Prime Minister Theresa May that a state visit from Mr Trump would be "difficult in current circumstances" at their meeting in Cardiff on Monday.
He said the UK has to "deal" with the US government, "but that doesn't mean we simply accept without criticism everything that is said."
Mr Cairns said while he disagreed with the immigration ban, he would "of course" welcome Donald Trump to Wales.
He told the BBC's Good Morning Wales programme that "positive engagement" was the best way to work with the new US president.
Protestors began gathering in Cardiff's Queen Street before 19:00 GMT on Monday, swelling to about 1,000 people despite the rain.
A further 700 demonstrators descended on events in Swansea, on Aberystwyth's prom, and in Bangor's city centre in Gwynedd.
About 40 anti-Trump protestors gathered outside Cardiff City Hall where the Joint Ministerial Committee, which included Prime Minister Theresa May, was held earlier in the day.
Some unfurled a banner reading: "Deals with the Devil", and as Mrs May left City Hall there were boos and shouts of "Theresa the Appeaser".
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said: "Trump's actions have rightly been met with anger around the world and should be condemned without reservation by us all."
Shadow Defence Secretary Nia Griffith told the House of Commons she was "embarrassed and ashamed" by Theresa May's decision to "hold Trump's hand instead of holding him to account".
She said: "Her belated and limp reply of 'we do not agree' was pathetic."


George Michael's family have said they are "appalled" a 999 call made about the singer on the day he died was apparently leaked to the press.

In a statement from their solicitors, the family called for the "culprit(s) to be dealt with appropriately".
South Central Ambulance Service said an investigation had been launched.
The former Wham! frontman was found dead on Christmas Day at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
A statement from the family's lawyers said: "George's family and friends are extremely upset and truly appalled that such a personal, painful and clearly confidential recording has been leaked.
"We firmly believe that anyone contacting the emergency authorities in situations such as this should be entitled to expect that recordings will not be released to the media and it is deeply distressing to the family that this transcript, and audio recording, has been made public."

A spokeswoman for South Central Ambulance Service said: "We take matters of confidentiality very seriously and have launched an immediate investigation."
A post-mortem examination  was inconclusive and more tests are being carried out.


Floods caused by torrential rains have killed 62 people - 35 of them children - in the Angolan city of Lobito, local authorities say.

The Angop state news agency says the flood water has reached 3m (9.8ft) in some areas of the city since Wednesday.
Scores of homes have been destroyed and rescue teams are still searching for missing people.
President Jose Eduardo Santos has ordered local authorities to provide assistance to the victims.
Large parts of Angola have been hit by heavy rains since January.
In the capital Luanda, at least one person died this week and hundreds of people were left homeless after 137 houses were destroyed by the rains, state media report.


Tesco is ending 24-hour opening at four of its stores in Northern Ireland as part of changes to its operations.

The move will affect outlets in Banbridge, Carrickfergus, Enniskillen and Antrim Massereene. From 7 November they will trade from 06:00-00:00.
Nightshift operations will also end at a number of other NI stores and they will restock during the day.
The company said in most cases the trading hours at those stores would be unaffected, or subject to minor change.
Staff affected by the changes will be offered alternative roles, either within the store or within another local store.
A spokesman said: "We're making some changes in a number of our stores to help us run them more simply and deliver the best possible service for customers.
"We understand this may be disruptive for some of our colleagues and where there have been changes to a colleague's role we will be working really hard to ensure they are fully supported."
Across the UK, 30 24-hour stores will have their opening hours reduced.
A further 149 stores will have their "night replenishment operation" moved to "daytime replenishment", Tesco said.


Former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has signed for Manchester United as "the number two goalkeeper", said manager Louis van Gaal.

The 32-year-old Spain international has penned an 18-month deal, with the option of another year.
Valdes had been training with United as he recovered from a serious knee injury after his Barca contract expired.
"I can already see this is a very special club," said Valdes, who will deputise for David De Gea.
"I worked with Louis van Gaal during my time at Barcelona and to have the opportunity to work with him here at Manchester United is a dream come true."
Van Gaal said that Valdes had been "very impressive" during training.
"He joins the club as the number two goalkeeper and is a great addition to the first team," the Dutchman added.
Valdes's arrival has caused some to question about the future of 24-year-old first-choice goalkeeper De Gea, who was the club's player of the year last season.
His contract is due to expire in 2016, although senior United sources have said they were relaxed about him signing an extension to that deal.
And Valdes appears happy to deputise for De Gea, telling MUTV: "Always in my career, I have played to help my team-mates, to help my coach and to help everybody. I am a part of the team."
He added: "I think now, in the moment, De Gea is the best goalkeeper in the world."
However, Valdes' arrival could lead to reserve keeper Anders Lindegaard leaving Old Trafford.
The Denmark international, 30, arrived in a £3.5m deal in January 2011 but has made only 19 Premier League appearances.
United's two other goalkeeping options are 21-year-old Sam Johnstone, who is on loan at Doncaster, and 24-year-old Ben Amos, who was criticised by Van Gaal for letting in Miralem Pjanic's 60-yard lob against Roma in pre-season.
Before last season started, Valdes confirmed he would leave Barcelona at the end of that campaign.
However, he tore an anterior cruciate ligament in March and missed the World Cup.


A former Anglican vicar who stole more than £100,000 from his diocese has been given a suspended prison sentence.

Michael John Fry, 57, of Aigburth Vale, Liverpool pleaded guilty to committing eight offences over an eight-year period ending 1 January 2014.
What began as an administrative failing became "dishonesty" and "an enormous breach of trust", Judge Elizabeth Nicholls told Liverpool Crown Court.
Fry was sentenced to 20 months in jail, suspended for two years.
Fry misled Liverpool diocese about the number of funerals which he had conducted and illegally kept fees from 1,250 parochial funerals.
He spent the money on alcohol, books, and travel, the court heard.
Passing sentence, the judge said "the good you have done in the community outweighs the harm".
She said Fry was a caring and compassionate individual who continued to volunteer with the homeless.
The sums he stole began with £1,751 between December 2005 and January 2007, increasing to £20,049 between December 2011 and January 2013.
He should have sent any fees above his £22,000 annual stipend to the diocese.
Fry's defence lawyer, Martine Snowdon, said the theft was born out of failure to act rather than a scheme devised by him.
Nevertheless, she told the court her client was "deeply remorseful" about failing his peers and society.
Liverpool diocese was originally relaxed about Fry's accounts "given the expectation of honesty and integrity of one of their own", the court was told.
The court heard the money stolen by Fry could have funded four full-time clergy posts.
The Archdeacon of Liverpool, Venerable Ricky Panter, said the "scale of the fraud is staggering" but the church is "pleased" he has been given a suspended sentence.
He said he was "immensely sad and felt let down" but "knows Michael and the demons he has fought against", adding: "I'm looking for him to resume some kind of ministry in the future."
Fry was a member of the St Luke in the City Team, which included three parish churches - St Michael's on Upper Pitt Street, St Bride's on Percy Street and St Dunstan's on Earle Road.
He resigned from his post early in 2014.


Scotland's political leaders have urged people to think of others this Christmas in their festive messages.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was a time to give "comfort and support" to those who need it.
Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson paid tribute to those working over Christmas while Labour's Kezia Dugdale called on people to "heal divisions".
Meanwhile, Scottish Secretary David Mundell paid tribute to Scottish service personnel stationed overseas.
Ms Sturgeon, who recorded a video message at a party in Alness, said Christmas was about "spending time with those we love".
She said: "This Christmas, I would encourage everyone to take the time to check on a friend or neighbour who is on their own. It's important to spend some time over the next few weeks giving comfort, companionship and support to those who need it.
"Scotland has a proud reputation as a caring country and I want to thank everyone in the last year who has extended a warm welcome to those seeking refuge and comfort here.
"So, wherever you might be celebrating Christmas, in Scotland or overseas, at work or at home, I wish you all the best for a Merry Christmas."
Ms Sturgeon also highlighted people who work "in the service of others" over Christmas, and this was echoed by Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson.
Ms Davidson said: "I'd like to single out one particular group of people this Christmas - and that's those people who are going to be working over the Christmas weekend.
"First and foremost that's the NHS staff, police and emergency services who give up time with their own families in order to make sure ours are safe.
"But it's also the assistant at the 24-hour petrol station, the pot washer in the hotel kitchen, and the delivery worker on night shift who are out there this weekend, earning a living, keeping the country ticking over. Doing their jobs so we can enjoy our break.
"Often the work they do goes unnoticed or is taken for granted. Perhaps it's only at Christmas and New Year that the rest of us really see it. So it's time for a very overdue thank-you."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said people should "cherish these days of peace and calm" during a period of "joy and celebration".
She said: "Christmas is also a chance to reflect on where we are as a nation. The constitution remains the defining issue in our politics and the divisions of recent years still remain.
"When our country is facing so many major challenges, now more than ever we need to unite and work together.
"My hope is that by next Christmas we will be more united as a nation, and can leave the arguments of the past behind us."
Service personnel deployed abroad also sent home Christmas messages to their friends and families.
Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "Servicemen and women from across Scotland are serving away from their families this Christmas in their endeavours to protect us - from those in our Army serving in the Middle East or the RAF troops ready for action in Cyprus, to all those aboard Royal Navy vessels from the Gulf to the South Atlantic or those on standby to scramble and protect our airspace.
"I pay a huge tribute to all those serving our country and keeping us safe at this time of year and throughout the year."
Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie also paid tribute to people working over Christmas, saying: "Our thanks must go out to those who work over Christmas including the emergency services who keep us safe.
"Our thoughts are with those who are unwell, alone or struggling. And our appreciation is with those who come to their aid.
"However, there is little doubt we are in a more uncertain and dark place in global affairs. The election of President Trump and the decision to sever links with our friends in Europe have taken our society in the wrong direction.
"With attacks in Turkey, the conflict in Yemen, and the war in Syria with its awful reports from Aleppo, it is imperative we do not turn our backs no matter how difficult the challenge."


Eight "extremely violent" robberies at sports and social clubs in Greater Manchester are being linked by police.

The robberies, which have included of three cricket clubs and two golf clubs, started in October, Greater Manchester Police said.
A woman was "viciously" beaten with the metal end of a snooker rest and a pool cue in the most recent at Chadderton Cricket and Bowling Club, Oldham.
Police are warning clubs to tighten up security particularly at closing times.
The first attack happened at Rochdale Cricket, Lacrosse and Squash Club, in October. Three men made off with cash after threatening members of staff with an axe and hammer.
The most recent was at at Chadderton Cricket and Bowling Club, Bowling Green Lane, on 16 January.
Police said the victim of the pool cue attack has been left traumatised and with severe bruising to her face and body.
Det Roger Smethurst said: "What started as a handful of seemingly isolated robberies has become a noticeable trend, predominantly at sports and social clubs and often around closing time.
"Some of these crimes have been extremely violent, leaving staff with injuries and customers totally distressed by what they have been forced to witness."
Other robberies have taken place at:


A fire at a poultry processing plant in China has killed at least 119 people, officials say.

The fire broke out at a slaughterhouse in Dehui in Jilin province early on Monday.
Accounts speak of explosions prior to the fire, which caused panic and a crush of workers trying to escape. Most exits were said to be locked.
A labour activist told the BBC it was the worst factory fire in living memory.
The fire is now said to have been mostly put out and bodies are being recovered.
President Xi Jinping, who is on a visit to the Americas, ordered every effort to go into the rescue operation and treatment of survivors, adding that the investigation into the cause of the accident would be vigorous.
Sources including the provincial fire department suggest there may have been an ammonia leak which either caused the fire or made fighting the blaze more hazardous.
Other reports speak of an electrical fault.
It is China's deadliest fire since 2000, when 309 people died in a blaze in a dance hall in Luoyang, in Henan province.
About 100 workers had managed to escape from the Baoyuan plant, Xinhua said, adding that the "complicated interior structure" of the building and narrow exits had made rescue work more difficult.
It said the plant's front gate was locked when the blaze began, and other official media reports said there was only one unlocked door in the whole building.
Firefighters have still not completed the job of recovering bodies from the building, meaning the death toll may rise yet further, say correspondents.
Some 60 injured people have been sent to hospital, but the severity of their injuries remains unclear. State media quoted hospital staff as saying that some wounded were being treated for inhalation of toxic gases such as ammonia while others had burns of varying degrees.
Pictures from the scene showed the roof mostly burned away to reveal blackened, twisted girders.
The provincial government said it sent more than 500 firefighters and at least 270 doctors and nurses to the scene, evacuating an area nearby that is home to 3,000 people as a precaution, reported Reuters news agency.
By Celia HattonBBC Beijing correspondent
China's central government in Beijing has created thousands of workplace safety regulations, from the handling of toxic chemicals to the prevention of occupational illnesses. But those laws are not always enforced, since local officials and factory bosses often place profits ahead of safety.
Many buildings in China, including factories, are constructed without consideration for health and safety concerns. Worries over factory thefts often dictate that building exits are locked, making it difficult for workers to leave in a hurry.
The authorities in Beijing are attempting to change that pattern. Workplace accidents have dropped by a third in the past five years, according to comments attributed to former Vice-Premier Zhang Dejiang. The death toll from those accidents dropped by almost the same proportion.
However, China's Public Security Bureau notes that in 2011 fires on construction sites rose nearly 6% and in agricultural factories nearly 9% compared to 2010. Factory bosses failed to obey safety procedures, using heat sources and electricity in unsafe ways, it said.
Critics argue that factory bosses are rarely punished for workplace accidents.
Poultry plant fire raises safety concerns
Workers interviewed by state broadcaster CCTV said the fire broke out at about 06:00 (22:00 Sunday GMT) during a shift change and may have started in a locker room.
Those who managed to escape from the factory describe panic and chaos as the lights went out, the building filled with smoke, and they found exits blocked or locked.
Guo Yan told Xinhua the emergency exit for her workstation was blocked and that she was knocked to the ground in a crush of workers trying to escape through a side door.
"I could only crawl desperately forward," said Ms Guo, 39. "I worked alongside an old lady and a young girl, but I don't know if they survived or not."
Another unnamed survivor said: "I escaped by climbing out of a window. There was a huge cloud of black smoke coming down the corridor. It was burning hot. It engulfed me. As soon as I was outside I collapsed unconscious."
Family members were quoted as saying the factory doors were always kept locked during working hours.
The plant is owned by Jilin Baoyuanfeng Poultry Co. It was only established in 2009 and is not an antiquated facility.
Located around 800km (500 miles) north-east of Beijing, it employs some 1,200 people and produces some 67,000 tonnes of chicken products every year.
Chickens are slaughtered at the plant and then cut up for retail - a process that takes place in cold conditions. Ammonia is used as part of the cooling system and in such plants flammable foam insulation is commonly used to keep temperatures low.
Workplace safety standards are often poor in China, with fatal accidents regularly reported at large factories and mines, says the BBC's John Sudworth in Shanghai.
Those lax standards are variously linked to corruption, the prioritisation of efficient production over worker safety in building design, and poor enforcement of safety rules.
Comments posted on the Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo about the fire included:


Rights group Amnesty International has accused the Bangladeshi government of unlawful killings by its special police force, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).

In a new report, the group has urged the government to honour their pledge to end extrajudicial executions.
The force has been implicated in the killing of at least 700 people since its inception in 2004, the report says.
The government has yet to respond to the Amnesty report.
RAB justifies the killings as accidental or as a result of officers acting in self-defence.
But, in reality, many victims are killed following their arrest, the Amnesty report alleges.
In a report in May, Human Rights Watch too catalogued a series of human rights violations blamed on the elite force in the past few years.
The government has always denied the accusations against RAB.
"Hardly a week goes by in Bangladesh without someone being shot by RAB with the authorities saying they were killed or injured in 'crossfire' or a 'gun-fight'," Abbas Faiz, Amnesty International's Bangladesh researcher, said.
"However the authorities choose to describe such incidents, the fact remains that they are suspected unlawful killings."
The group says investigations into the killings are either carried out by RAB or a government-appointed judicial body and they have never resulted in prosecution.
It says that RAB has consistently denied responsibility for unlawful killings and the authorities have accepted their claims.
Former detainees also told Amnesty International that they were tortured in custody, suffering beatings, food and sleep deprivation, and electric shocks.
The report says that at least 200 alleged RAB killings have occurred since January 2009 when the Awami League government came to power, despite Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's pledge to end extrajudicial killings.
In the past the authorities have said the police force only acts against "criminals" and most deaths occur during shoot-outs between them and law enforcers.
Over the years, RAB has developed a fearsome reputation while at the same time being credited with reducing crime and acting against Islamist militancy.

Glamorgan have signed Harry Podmore on loan from Middlesex to ease the county's fast bowling injury concerns.

The seamer goes straight into the squad for the opening County Championship match at Northampton on Friday.
The Welsh county are set to give a debut to South African paceman Marchant de Lange but are missing four of last season's seamers.
It is a second Glamorgan loan period for Podmore, 22, after he spent a stint last season in Wales.
Front-line bowlers Timm van der Gugten (shoulder), Graham Wagg (groin), Michael Hogan (hip) and Ruaidhri Smith (abdominal tear) are all missing along with batsman Will Bragg (back).
Podmore will be available for an initial period of a month including three Championship games, while teenager Lukas Carey could get an early season chance.
"Harry proved himself a reliable option on loan last season and has continued to take wickets for Middlesex," said Glamorgan chief executive Hugh Morris.
"He's developed from working with the England fast bowling programme to become a young, but high calibre fast bowler who will add depth to our seam attack.
"Although we've added Marchant de Lange to the squad, we've suffered some injuries to our bowlers with Ruaidhri Smith, Graham Wagg, Timm van der Gugten and Michael Hogan all missing pre-season fixtures and unavailable for tomorrow's game.
"So the bowling department needs strengthening in the short term."
Batsman Colin Ingram is set play his first championship match for Glamorgan since 2015 following knee surgery last August, while wicketkeeper Chris Cooke returns after missing most of last season with back trouble.
Glamorgan (from):  J Rudolph (capt), N Selman, D Lloyd, C Ingram, C Cooke, A Donald, K Carlson, C Meschede, O Morgan, A Salter, M De Lange, L Carey, H Podmore.


People are being urged to pre-cook food in the oven before barbecuing it after research found most Britons make risky hygiene mistakes at the grill.

The Food Standards Agency said food poisoning was a real danger of outdoor cooking, with 94% of people admitting to at least one bad barbecue habit.
In a survey of 2,030 adults, 21% said they believed they had been ill due to something they ate.
And nearly a third admitted to not checking if food was properly cooked.
The FSA warned that food hygiene risks could lead to illnesses like campylobacter, which affects more than a quarter of a million people every year.
Ahead of the late summer bank holiday weekend - a popular time for barbecues - the government body issued tips to help people avoid food poisoning.
Among the FSA's tips was advice to pre-cook food before putting it on the grill.
It warned that "charred doesn't mean cooked", that meat should be steaming hot throughout - not pink - and any juices should run clear.
It also warned that disposable barbecues took longer to cook food, that raw meat should be stored and handled separately, and raw chicken should not be washed as it splashes germs around.
FSA chief executive Catherine Brown said: "Food poisoning is a real risk at barbecues and so we are reminding people to take good care of their families and friends by paying attention to simple food safety rules."
The FSA survey, which polled 2,030 people online in July, also showed that 24% of those who described themselves as the main cook at a barbecue did not usually cook at home.
One in five admitted to not keeping raw and cooked meat on separate plates, and more than half risked cross-contamination by using the same tongs throughout the process.
Campylobacter, which can result from cross-contamination, causes food poisoning in around 280,000 people every year.


Strong consumer spending helped the UK's economy to grow faster than expected at the end of last year.

The economy grew by 0.6% in the October-to-December period, the same rate as in the previous two quarters, according to an initial estimate from the Office for National Statistics.
The figure indicates that the feared economic slowdown following the Brexit vote has not materialised.
For 2016 as whole, the economy grew by 2%, down from 2.2% in 2015.
"Strong consumer spending supported the expansion of the dominant services sector," said ONS statistician Darren Morgan.
"Although manufacturing bounced back from a weaker third quarter - both it and construction remained broadly unchanged over the year as a whole."
The quarterly growth figure was slightly better than the 0.5% rate most economists had expected.
The dominant services sector - which accounts for about three-quarters of the UK economy - grew by  by 0.8% in the quarter, helped by growth in the distribution, hotels and restaurant industry.
Retail sales and travel agencies also supported growth in this sector, the ONS said.
The figures also showed that the construction industry grew by 0.1% and agriculture by 0.4%, while industrial production was unchanged.
After another set of economic figures stronger than expected, is this economic pain cancelled, or simply postponed?
On that central issue rests the fate of the government's economic policy.
If it is pain cancelled that means better real incomes for voters.
It means higher tax receipts for the government, lower levels of borrowing and more leeway to spend money on public services.
And, of course, confidence tends to beget confidence.

This is the first estimate of the size of the economy in the fourth quarter of the year. At least two more will follow.
The ONS points out that the data on which the first estimate is based is less than half the total amount it has access to by the time of the third estimate.
Lee Hopley, chief economist of the manufacturers' lobby group, EEF, said: "While services continued to drive the economy forward at the end of last year, manufacturing output also made a small positive contribution, as growth ended the year on a solid note."
However, she added that "challenges abound for forecasters in 2017".
"Consumers won't be ramping up spending thanks to rising inflation and sluggish wage growth, and businesses' appetite to sign off big investments will depend on how they view the progress of Brexit negotiations.
"There's every chance that this rate of expansion is the high point for the next couple of years."
That view was echoed by Rain Newton-Smith, chief economist at the CBI business lobby group.
"2017 will see headwinds to growth building, as higher inflation eats into households' buying power and investment wanes," he said.


Belfast's Court of Appeal has ruled it is not up to the courts to decide on abortion law in Northern Ireland, but up to the Stormont assembly.

In 2015, the High Court ruled the NI law breached the European Convention on Human Rights by not allowing abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormality or sexual crime.
The justice department and the NI attorney general challenged the ruling.
Northern Ireland's abortion law is much stricter than the rest of the UK.
On Thursday, three appeal judges allowed an appeal against the lower court's ruling that abortion legislation was incompatible with the UK's Human Rights Act obligations.
However, in an unusual move, the court invited legal submissions for the case to go to the Supreme Court.
It ruled it was not up to local government, and not the courts, to decide on abortion law.
It said the complex moral and religious questions behind the issue should be determined by a legislature.
The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission said it was disappointed by the ruling.
Unlike the rest of the UK, abortion is only permitted in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or there is a permanent or serious risk to her mental or physical health.
It is unlawful to perform a termination of pregnancy, under section 58 of the Offences against the Person Act 1861, unless on these grounds.
The punishment for breaking the law is life imprisonment.
The original case was brought by the NI Human Rights Commission (NIHRC). It cross-appealed and re-introduced all of the original grounds it brought before the High Court.
In 2013, Sarah Ewart travelled to England for a termination after doctors said her unborn child had no chance of survival outside the womb.
Such a diagnosis, known as fatal foetal abnormality, is not grounds for a legal abortion in Northern Ireland.
Speaking to BBC News NI's Talkback programme, Sarah said Appeal Court ruling was "totally devastating" but she would not give up.
She said she was, however, encouraged by the court inviting legal submissions for the case to go to the Supreme Court.

That court agreed that women's rights to privacy and bodily autonomy under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights were breached.
However, the High Court did not find that the existing abortion law breached Article 3, which protects people from torture or inhuman and degrading treatment, or that it breached Article 14, which covers discrimination.
In January 2016, both the Department of Justice and the Attorney General appealed against the High Court judgment.
The Department of Justice argued there was a lack of legal certainty in it which could lead inadvertently to abortion on demand.
It also argued that the ruling on sexual crime was unclear.
The Attorney General said Judge Horner was clearly wrong in his decision when he said "there was no life to protect".
He also argued that there was no proper basis for a doctor to say a foetus had a fatal abnormality.
Meanwhile, at Westminster, Chancellor Philip Hammond has said the government intends to fund abortions in England for women from Northern Ireland.
The letter followed the Speaker selecting an amendment to the Queen's Speech relating to access to abortions.
It calls on the government to allow women in Northern Ireland to have abortions for free in England, instead of being charged as they are now.
More than 50 MPs from all the major parties have signed the amendment, co-ordinated by Labour's Stella Creasy.
The concession came ahead of a vote on the issue in the Commons.
This is a mixed day for Northern Ireland's abortion campaigners - on both sides of the argument.
Overthrowing the previous ruling came as a shock to the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission and Amnesty International.
While they had claimed victory in 2015 for moving the local abortion story closer in line with the rest of the UK -  on Thursday, they said, all that was undone.
Meanwhile, as anti-abortion campaigners were celebrating at that decision -  their feelings quickly turned to absolute dismay and disbelief as the news emerged from Westminster.

Earlier this month, the UK's highest court narrowly rejected an appeal by a mother and daughter for women from Northern Ireland to receive free abortions on the NHS in England.
The Supreme Court clarified that restrictions on NHS-funded abortion care for Northern Ireland women are not due to economic or legal constraints.
Rather, they are based on the secretary of state's political considerations and respect for the local assembly.
In a separate case, a judicial review is due to take place in the autumn into the decision to criminally prosecute a woman who allegedly bought abortion pills online for her daughter.
The woman, who cannot be named, is accused of procuring and supplying poison in 2013 with the intent to procure a miscarriage contrary to the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act.


England will play Ireland in the Women's World Cup semi-finals after drawing with Canada, a result which eliminated holders New Zealand.

Captain Sarah Hunter scored a crucial try, while outside centre Emily Scarratt kicked eight points.
Canada qualified for the semi-finals as best runners-up and face hosts France.
Four-time champions New Zealand, who suffered their first World Cup loss since 1991 against Ireland on Tuesday, miss out.
England will meet the Irish on Wednesday (kick-off 1700 BST) at Stade Jean Bouin, the home of Stade Francais Rugby Club, while France face Canada at the same venue later that night.
Gary Street's England team advanced to the knockout stages as the winners of Pool A by virtue of their better points difference.
"It's very much a case of job done," Street said. "We know that we can improve but in some ways that's the exciting thing - we still haven't reached our potential."
Captain Hunter said England "know that we've been in a battle".
"It was a great game to be involved in," she added. "We're delighted to get out of the pool."
England began well and took the lead through an early Emily Scarratt penalty, but Canada responded through a Karen Paquin try as they asserted their dominance up front.
Another Scarratt penalty gave England a slender advantage at half-time, but Canada again took the lead after the break as Kayla Mack crossed after superb breaks from Mandy Marchak and Elissa Alarie.
Hunter's try put England back in front but a late Magali Harvey penalty ensured the match ended level, and meant defending champions New Zealand could not reach the last four.
Ireland went through as winners of Pool B after they beat Kazakhstan 40-5.
Wales ended their campaign on a high as they overcame the disappointment of their failure to reach the semi-finals to record a comprehensive 35-3 win over South Africa, with Sioned Harries scoring a hat-trick of tries.
England: Waterman; Merchant, Scarratt, Burford, Allan; Large, Hunt; Clark, Croker, Hemming, Essex, Taylor, Fisher, Alphonsi, Hunter.
Replacements: Fleetwood for Croker (50), Keates for Hemming (50), McGilchrist for Essex (56), Matthews for Fisher (50), Mclean for Large (60), Wilson for Merchant (60).
Canada: Alarie; Harvey, Marchak, Burk, Dovanne; Belchos, Bernier; Pinault-Reid, Donaldson, Leith, Blackwood, Samson, Murphy, Paquin, Russell.

A controversial plan to revamp two buildings in an area of Bristol regarded as the "spiritual home" of the street artist Banksy has been deferred.

The plans involve Westmoreland House office block being knocked down and the adjoining Carriageworks renovated to create 118 home in Stokes Croft.
Protests were held as councillors from Bristol City Council met at City Hall on Wednesday evening.
Eight councillors voted to defer a decision with one abstaining.
Although Banksy's artwork is not on either building, his famed mural The Mild Mild West is also in Stokes Croft, which is known for its street art and independent businesses.
Lori Streich from the Carriageworks Action Group said: "In the circumstances, having listened to the entire debate, we feel it's a win-win situation for the community and the developer as we all now have the opportunity to look at it all again.
"It will bring the community vision into reality, or closer anyway. I'm still optimistic."
She said councillors had raised concerns about a number of issues such as the delivery of the community vision and the lack of consultation with the local community.
Developer Fifth Capital has said between Â£15m and Â£20m would be needed for the revamp.


A new housing development on the site of BBC Wales' Broadcasting House in Llandaff, Cardiff, has moved a step closer.

Councillors have granted outline planning permission for the proposed scheme, which includes up to 400 new homes.
The development went before the council's planning committee in July.
Outline planning permission has now been granted after a document was signed securing community benefits.
They include the commitment to build affordable housing as part of the development.
Work on the new homes is expected to start on site in 2019 after BBC Wales moves to its new building in the city centre.
Gareth Hawke, land director for housebuilder Taylor Wimpey South Wales, said: "Our development will combine a mix of private and much-needed affordable homes, car parking and public open space, with the first properties expected to go on sale in early 2020, following the BBC's relocation and subject to the approval of 'reserved matters' planning applications dealing with detailed design."


Wildlife sanctuaries across southern Australia have been helping injured animals - by asking the public to sew mittens and pouches!

Adelaide and Victoria in southern Australia have seen some of the worst bushfires for 30 years.
Injured possums, koalas, kangaroos and wallabies have been arriving at animal rescue centres almost every day.
A charity called IFAW appealed for the public to sew tiny mittens, to help protect koalas that had burned paws.
So many people sent in mittens, they received enough to last them for a year.
Now the charity has asked people to sew comfy pouches help the injured baby kangaroos, called joeys, recover.
The pouches help keep the babies warm but have to be changed after every feed, so up to six pouches are needed for each animal every day.
The animals are being looked after by keepers at Adelaide Zoo.
Once they're better they will be released back to the wild.


The "flagship of the Royal Navy" is to be decommissioned after a multi-million pound refit.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed the move would happen in 2018, when HMS Ocean "reached the end of her life", despite no mention of it in Monday's Strategic Defence and Security Review.
The Devonport-based helicopter carrier and assault ship underwent a Â£65m upgrade in 2014.
The MoD said it would maintain a "significant amphibious capability".
It said there would be new Type 26 warships and frigates; two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers; as well as the existing fleet which includes HMS Bulwark.
When making the announcement the MoD said it was old news.
However, in 2012 ahead of the Â£65m refit, Defence Minister Philip Dunne said: "I am delighted that this contract will not only ensure that HMS Ocean remains a significant, highly-flexible and capable warship for years to come".
BBC South West political editor, Martyn Oates, said the announcement raised concerns for its home port of Plymouth.
"With no like-for-like replacement planned, concerns in Ocean's home port of Plymouth will focus on how many of the new ships promised by the Prime Minister yesterday will be based in the city and whether that will be enough to fill the rather large hole left by the retiring flagship."
An MoD spokesman said: "HMS Ocean will not decommission early and will continue in service as planned well into this Parliament.
"As part of the SDSR process, the decision was taken not to extend her and to decommission her in 2018, in line with her 20-year life span."
HMS Ocean - Britain's largest warship - is currently deployed in the Mediterranean on a Nato exercise.
