A fire at a scrapyard in Glasgow sent a huge plume of smoke above the city and left about 3,000 homes without power.

The blaze at Japanese Autoparts, in Helen Street, near Ibrox stadium, broke out at about 16:30 GMT.
Scottish Power said one of its buildings was involved in the fire, and power had to be shut off in the Govan area as a precaution while fire crews assessed the damage.
Power was restored to customers at 21:50, the firm said.
It had warned residents to expect to be without power until 03:00 on Monday.
At its peak, about 50 firefighters tackled the blaze.
Speaking from the scene, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service's deputy assistant chief officer, Peter Heath, said: "At the moment we still have a significant attendance at this fire.
"Firefighters are currently engaged in a fire that has engulfed a building which is approximately 100 metres by 40 metres with a large yard in the back full of tyres which have been involved in the fire."
He added: "At one side of the building that is on fire is an electrical substation which supplies a significant part of Glasgow and Govan area and at the other side there is a large storage facility.
"Our activity in the last few hours have been ensuring that we protect these and we have been successful in that to date."
Earlier on Sunday, pictures were posted on social media of smoke billowing high above Glasgow.


Moeen Ali hit 90 as Worcestershire made it back-to-back One-Day Cup wins with a 42-run victory over Leicestershire.

The England all-rounder struck two sixes and 12 fours as he laid the foundation for Worcestershire's 361-8 after they were put into bat.
Leicestershire, who chased 311 to beat Lancashire on Friday, made a valiant attempt as Mark Cosgrove hit 67 and Aadil Ali struck 88 to give them hope.
But they lost their last four wickets for 16 runs, with Ali the last man out.
Despite Ali's highest List A score, it was a total that proved beyond their hosts, who were dismissed for 319 with 16 balls to spare.
The Foxes had lost wickets at regular intervals, most notably Jack Shantry's sharp one-handed return catch to dismiss main dangerman Cosgrove.
And the alert Ben Cox pulled off a remarkable stumping when, seeing Cameron Delport had stepped out of his ground after missing an attempt to thrash Worcestershire captain Joe Leach through the off-side, he threw down the stumps.
Moeen, part of England's squad for the forthcoming One-Day International series against Ireland and South Africa, and June's Champions Trophy, opened the batting for Worcestershire, scoring at more than a run a ball before edging Zak Chappell to wicket-keeper Lewis Hill when 10 short of his century.
Tom Fell (39), Joe Clarke (42) and Ben Cox (44) all made valuable contributions as Worcestershire, who beat Nottinghamshire in their opening game, piled up their highest 50-over score against first-class opposition, beating the 320-8 they made against Hampshire at the Rose Bowl in 2009.
Leicestershire batsman Aadil Ali:
"It's nice to do well but the most important thing is winning the game for your team, and we fell short - it was my job to see it through and bat the overs, so I'm disappointed.
"The ground-staff have done a great job. The wicket was flat and the outfield lightning fast, so we felt we could chase any total. We were pretty sure we could be there or thereabouts, and on another day we might have done it.
(On the Delport dismissal): "Some keepers throw the ball at the stumps in those circumstances, others don't. It depends on how they feel about it. It's a personal thing. I don't think I would, but it's in the rules, so you have to be aware.
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes:
"We're delighted to win, but that was a great game of cricket and Leicestershire should take a lot of heart from the way they went about the chase.
"Our batting was outstanding. We had some really good partnerships, with people chipping in all the way. Having John Hastings and Ed Barnard at 9 and 10 shows the depth we have now. Then Brett D'Oliveira bowled really well, better than his figures suggest, and Ross Whiteley's fielding was outstanding.
"Now we go to Northants, a very, very dangerous team, as we've seen over the last couple of seasons. We want to qualify in this competition, and if we can go there and win it will have been the perfect start."
Worcestershire teenagers Ollie Westbury and George Scrimshaw, who signed their first professional deals last summer, have both signed new undisclosed-length contracts with the county.
Opening batsman Westbury, 19, has represented England at Under-19 level, scoring 196 against Sri Lanka at Fenner's last July.
Fast bowler Scrimshaw, also 19, was also called up by England Under-19s last summer, only to withdraw with a toe injury. He is currently recovering from a stress fracture of the back.


The first of several convoys carrying badly-needed aid to besieged areas of Syria has arrived at its destination.

Trucks have entered the rebel-held town of Muadhamiya, near the Syrian capital Damascus, the Red Crescent said.
Aid is heading as well to Madaya and Zabadani, also near the capital, and to the pro-government northern villages of Foah and Kefraya.
The deliveries are part of an agreement that world powers hope will lead to a "cessation of hostilities" by Friday.
However, offensives by Syrian government forces and Kurdish militia fighters on rebel-held areas of the northern province of Aleppo have dimmed hopes for a truce.
Almost 500,000 people live in besieged areas in Syria, according to the UN.
Some 100 trucks left Damascus earlier on Wednesday, carrying food, non-food items, medical equipment and medicine.
They are intended to provide one month's worth of aid for more than 90,000 people, 30,000 in Muadhamiya alone, the UN said.
A spokesman for the Syrian Arab Red Crescent told the BBC many Syrians were desperate for basic supplies.
"People in Kefraya and Foua, they need diesel to switch on the water pumps - without the diesel, they cannot dig for water, they need water, drinking water," Mouhannad al Assadi told the BBC.
Two more places - Kafr Batna and Deir al-Zour - are expected to receive aid later in the week.
Humanitarian supplies reached some of the areas last month amid reports of people starving.
On Tuesday, UN special envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura said it was the "duty" of the Syrian government to allow aid to reach whoever needed it.
But a senior aide to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said Mr de Mistura should focus on peace talks rather than on aid deliveries.
"His mission now is to establish a list of terrorist groups, and a list of opposition groups who should dialogue with the Syrian government," Buthaina Shaaban told the AFP news agency.
The UN named seven areas where it would deliver aid:
Syria: The story of the conflict
Medecins Sans Frontieres has said at least 25 people are now confirmed to have died when one of its hospitals in Syria was bombed on Monday - 14 more than it previously reported.
The facility was among several hospitals in schools hit in strikes on Monday, killing up to 50 people, according to the UN.
Russia, who is carrying out strikes in support of the Syrian army, has rejected accusations it was responsible.
The nationwide "cessation of hostilities" is due to come into force on Friday.
The agreement, approved by the 17-member International Syria Support Group (ISSG), does not apply to the fight against Islamic State or al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda affiliate.


Authorities are continuing to search for two teenagers who went missing while fishing off the Florida coast.

Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, both 14, were last seen on Friday afternoon buying $110 worth of fuel near Jupiter, before setting off on a 19-foot boat.
Their capsized boat was found on Sunday morning more than 180 miles from where they set off two days before.
"I just want him home. I know he's coming home," said Austin's mother Carly Black on NBC's Today programme.
Pamela Cohen, mother of Perry, told NBC that she believes her son and his friend "are doing everything they can to stay afloat".
She said the two boys have worked with boats their whole lives and that it is natural for them to be on the water.
The two mothers said the boys went fishing offshore when the weather turned and "something went amiss".
The US Coast Guard expanded its search on Tuesday morning, searching up to Georgia and down to Cape Canaveral in Florida through the day and night.
A spokesman said they were still optimistic they can be found alive.
They were last seen buying petrol and authorities said they may have been headed toward the Bahamas.
Nick Korniloff says his stepson, Perry, and Austin were were supposed to stay on a nearby river and waterway when they set out to go fishing on Friday, but they ended up in dangerous waters.
Former American football player Joe Namath, Ms Cohen's neighbour, has offered a $100,000 (Â£64,100) reward for information on the missing boys.
Mr Namath said during a press conference "We've got to believe in their wherewithal".


Ross County have signed the former Rangers, Cardiff and Birmingham winger Chris Burke until the season's end.

The 32-year-old Scotland international had trained with Kilmarnock after leaving Nottingham Forest.
Staggies boss Jim McIntyre told the club website: "We are delighted to announce the signing of Chris.
"He will provide much-needed competition on the flanks for us. He also brings a wealth of experience playing at the top level."
Burke came to prominence with Rangers, scoring on his debut in a 5-0 win over Kilmarnock in 2002.
A lack of first-team football at Ibrox brought about a move to Cardiff on a free transfer in January 2009. He made more than 100 league appearances for the Bluebirds before switching to Birmingham for three seasons where he scored 28 goals in 155 appearances.
Burke then played 50 league games for Nottingham Forest across the past two seasons, during which time he had a loan spell at Rotherham before becoming a free agent in the summer.


Thousands of competitors are descending on Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway to face a gruelling obstacle course challenge.

The Tough Mudder event is being held at the site near Thornhill over the weekend.
Organisers said they expected more than 14,000 people to take part in the event.
Tough Mudder is a team-based event which sees groups try to complete a 10 to 12 mile "mud and obstacle course".
Vice President Nikki Emmans said: "Tough Mudder is delighted to return to Drumlanrig Castle this weekend."
"We will be hosting Tough Mudder on Saturday and then on Sunday we have a brand new event for 2016, Tough Mudder Half.
"We are anticipating over 14,000 participants over the weekend and are excited to return to such an iconic venue."


A controversial road linking two Sussex towns has opened to traffic after a protest disrupted a launch event.

The Hastings to Bexhill link road has cost £120m and was due to open in May.
East Sussex County Council said the scheme had been delayed by protests, extreme weather and archaeological work and it was "fantastic" to see it completed.
But campaigners who disrupted a launch event on Wednesday said they still wanted to show it was "wrong".
Andrea Needham, from the Combe Haven Defenders, said: "They are going to open the road now. We can't stop that.
"But [we want] to make a very strong statement that this is utterly wrong, this is utterly irresponsible and a massive waste of public money."
The county council has said the road, now named Combe Valley Way, will bring £1bn of economic benefits to the area, up to 2,000 new homes and 3,000 new jobs.
The authority said the road would also reduce congestion on the A259 by up to 40%.
Council leader Keith Glazier said it would help to regenerate one of the most deprived areas of the South East.
Transport Minister Andrew Jones said it would unlock ambitious development plans.
He said the scheme was part of the government's commitment to improving UK infrastructure, and the communities of Bexhill and Hastings had waited a long time for it.
A path for walkers, cyclists and horse riders will be completed next year.
Protests during the construction of the road saw campaigners climb into trees before contractors cleared the route.
They argued the link road would increase traffic and carbon emissions and devastate the "beautiful and tranquil" Combe Haven Valley, near a site of special scientific interest.


A 34-year-old woman has been charged by police in connection with a serious assault in August at an Edinburgh pub.

The incident happened at about 21:00 on Saturday 22 August at the Ye Olde Inn, Davidson's Mains.
A 21-year-old man sustained a number of cuts to his face after being struck during the assault and officers are continuing with their inquiries.
The 34-year-old woman will appear in court at a later date.


British number one Johanna Konta is out of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells following a 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 6-3 defeat by world number 19 Karolina Pliskova.

Victory over her Czech opponent would have put Konta in with a chance of breaking into the top 20 of the world rankings for the first time.
Novak Djokovic reached the last 16 of the men's singes with a 7-5 7-5 win over German Phillipe Kohlschreiber.
Rafael Nadal beat fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 6-0 7-6 (11-9).
Two-time champion Serena Williams defeated Kateryna Bondarenko 6-2 6-2 to earn a quarter-final with Simona Halep.


A man has been shot in the legs with what police believe was a shotgun.

The man was injured in a field next to Hapsford Road in Bootle, Merseyside, at about 22:00 GMT on Friday.
He is being treated in hospital for "what is thought to be shotgun injuries". His condition is not thought to be life threatening.
The motive for the attack is "unclear" and a cordon is expected to remain in place for most of the day while investigations take place, police said.
House-to-house inquiries have begun and witnesses are being urged to contact police.


Nottingham Panthers won the Continental Cup final to become the first British ice hockey team to claim a major European trophy.

They took Europe's second-tier event with a 4-1 victory over Italian hosts Ritten.
Panthers were the lowest-ranked side in the event and beat teams from Denmark and Kazakhstan to reach the final.
Great Britain international Robert Farmer scored twice as Panthers secured the title.
The previous best-ever performance by a British side in the 20 years of the Continental Cup came in 2001 when London Knights finished third in Zurich, Switzerland.


South African prosecutors say they will appeal against Oscar Pistorius's six-year sentence for murder, calling it "shockingly too lenient".

The National Prosecuting Authority said the sentence was "disproportionate to the crime" and could bring the justice system "into disrepute".
The Olympic athlete was jailed earlier this month for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.
He admits killing her but says he mistook her for an intruder.
The 29-year-old was initially given a five-year term for manslaughter, but was found guilty of murder on appeal last December.
A statement released by the National Prosecuting Authority said that an application for leave to appeal against Pistorius's sentence was submitted on Thursday.
"We hope that this appeal will also clarify further the principles of sentencing, particularly in crime categories for which there are prescribed minimum sentences ordained by legislation," it says.
Prosecutors point out that Pistorius' jail term was less than half the 15 years sought by them and that he has shown inadequate remorse for the murder.
In explaining her decision to give him six years, Judge Thokozile Masipa said mitigating circumstances, such as rehabilitation and remorse, had outweighed aggravating factors, such as his failure to fire a warning shot.
She said the sentence needed to be fair to both Pistorius and the family of the deceased.
A longer sentence would not serve justice, she said: "Public opinion may be loud and persistent but it can play no role in the decision of this court."
But the sentence caused outrage among some, who argued he had been given preferential treatment because of his status and wealth.
Ms Steenkamp's family issued a statement on Thursday saying only that they "have always fully supported" the prosecuting team, and added that they were focusing their energy on launching a charitable foundation in their daughter's name.
Pistorius has already served one year in jail over his previous conviction. He is legally obliged to serve half of his new term before being eligible for parole.
The six-time Paralympic gold medallist made history by becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics, in 2012 in London, running on prosthetic "blades".
He had his legs amputated below the knee as a baby.


Cambridge United have signed goalkeeper Sam Beasant on a one-year deal, following the expiry of his contract with Stevenage.

The 27-year-old, son of ex-Wimbledon, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Southampton and England keeper Dave Beasant, made nine appearances for Boro last season.
"When I saw the great prospects the club have, I was keen to take up the opportunity," Beasant said.
He is Cambridge's eighth signing since finishing 19th last season.

British and French officials have begun registering unaccompanied children in the Calais "Jungle" who are hoping to join relatives in Britain.

A significant number of child refugees will arrive in the UK from the migrant camp within days, the BBC understands.
The Children's Commissioner for England has previously said about 300 children in the camp, from countries like Syria and Afghanistan, will come to the UK.
French authorities have said they will close the camp by the end of the year.
It is estimated up to 10,000 people are living in the Jungle which is situated near the port of Calais, and close to the 31-mile Channel Tunnel.
Many of the migrants in northern France attempt to reach the UK by boarding lorries as they approach ports or the Channel Tunnel.
French President Francois Hollande wants to move the inhabitants it holds to reception centres across the country and demolish the camp.
Aid groups have raised concerns that the planned closure will lead to children disappearing before they are processed.
Home Office officials in Calais have been focusing first on unaccompanied minors who have the right to join relatives under EU legislation.
A separate registration process will take place for vulnerable children who do not have family in the UK.
Under EU-wide regulation, asylum claims must be made in the first safe country a person reaches, but children can have their claim transferred to another country if they have family members living there.
UK law also requires the government to arrange for the transfer to the UK and support of unaccompanied refugee children from Europe.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said the government is moving quickly and that she wants as many children as possible brought to the UK before the camp is shut down by the French authorities.
However, the charity Safe Passage, which is working alongside the government, says it has not yet been shown any operational plans setting out how the children will be transferred.
Operations and programme delivery consultant Red Godfrey-Sagoo told the BBC: "There has been a marked increase in activity both from the French authorities and the UK authorities on trying to work out how to get this done quickly. That has been noted.
"Does it mean that we technically have seen any operational plans on how it's going to be delivered? We haven't seen that yet. So we still ask those questions."
She told Radio 4's Today programme she believed the Home Office was working towards taking unaccompanied minors "next week at some point".
The Local Government Association, which represents local authorities in England and Wales, has said that councils will require long-term funding from government so the support of the children is "properly funded".
Meanwhile, French Housing Minister Emmanuelle Cosse has said the camp will be dismantled "when all the conditions for success are in place", Agence France-Presse reported.
The news agency quoted the minister as saying that it was "out of the question to leave these people living any longer in that mud and that distress", adding that another winter in the Jungle was "impossible".
Mr Hollande has promised to set up "reception and orientation centres" to take in asylum seekers.
A "dignified welcome" would be given to people who filed for the right to asylum but anyone who was unsuccessful would be deported, he said.


Two proposals for a new £200m road in Flintshire should be merged to maximise improvement to the North Wales Expressway, the council has said.

The investment aims to tackle congestion on the A494 and A55 around Queensferry and Deeside.
Flintshire cabinet backed the recommendation of its scrutiny committee which preferred the red route, but with blue route elements.
The final plan "should be a hybrid of the two options", the report said.
The red route involves upgrading the A548 over Flintshire Bridge between Connah's Quay and the Wirral and constructing a new link to the A55 at Northop - which was approved as the preferred option by Flintshire's cabinet members on Tuesday.
But councillors agreed a "crawler lane" should be added along the incline westbound section of the A55 towards Halkyn and some changes made to the Ewloe interchange, from the blue route.
"The study concluded that this wider approach to the improvements... are essential if this 'once in a generation' improvement is to provide full benefit for the residents and road users within Flintshire and provide a resilient gateway to Wales for many decades to come," the report added.
Flintshire council has until 7 July to present its formal response to the Welsh Government.
The Welsh Government said the upgrade was needed as the road was "below modern standards".
It will make the final decision, with an announcement expected in the summer.


Teenager Kylian Mbappe scored the winner as Monaco beat Lyon to return to the top of Ligue 1 on Sunday.

AC Milan defender Luca Antonelli was taken to hospital with a suspected head injury during the 1-0 Serie A defeat by Udinese at the San Siro.

The Italy international was carried off on a stretcher after appearing to collide with a player following a corner and falling awkwardly.
A team-mate reportedly reacted to make sure Antonelli, 29, did not swallow his tongue.
Milan have yet to comment on Antonelli's condition.


Burkina Faso holds crucial general elections on 29 November after a turbulent year under a transitional government that stepped in to restore order following a popular uprising in October 2014.

The election was due this year anyway. Former President Blaise Compaore's plans to serve another five-year term sparked a popular uprising.  He had been in power for 27 years.
It has been a bumpy road to the current elections, and Mr Compaore's supporters themselves staged a short-lived coup on 17 September. The elite Presidential Security Guard were behind the attempt to scuttle the transition. They were disbanded after the coup failed.
Crisis-weary citizens hope that democratic rule will be restored when they vote for members of parliament and a new president. But some of the practices surrounding the vote are already being called into question, because the transitional government has barred members of the former ruling party the Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP) from contesting the presidency.
Their exclusion has deepened political divisions, and could undermine the credibility of the elections and weaken confidence in any future government. CDP politicians have threatened to hold protest rallies, but most commentators say widespread violence is unlikely .
The electoral commission has promised "reliable and transparent elections, with results accepted by all".
There have been isolated reports of fake voter cards being mass-produced at a local internet cafe in the capital, Ouagadougou, but the polls are widely expected to be peaceful. There have been no major incidents during the campaign period.
Burkina Faso's Muslims coexist peacefully with Christians and other religious groups.  But it is vulnerable to the extremist violence from other West African Islamists groups in neighbouring countries. Malian militant group Ansar Dine has threatened to attack the country.
Suspected Islamists from Nigeria's Boko Haram militant group have also attacked Christians at a Burkinabe police camp near the border with Mali. In November, the authorities introduced security measures to address the jihadist threat.
The president is elected by popular vote and, if no candidate wins an absolute majority in the first round, a second round is held.
The run-off, which must be held 15 days after the results of the first round have been declared, is won by a simple majority. A total of 127 seats are up for grabs in the parliamentary election.
Fourteen people - including two women and four independent candidates - are vying for the presidency.
Local media reports suggest that Zephirin Diabre and Roch Marc Christian Kabore are the front-runners. Mr Diabre was once a minister of finance before he fell out with Mr Compaore in 2010.
Mr Kabore served as prime minister and chairman of the CDP before leaving the party in 2014, after opposing plans to extend Mr Compaore's rule.
The veteran opposition politician and former presidential candidate Benewende Sankara comes a distant third, despite enjoying the support of the wife of slain military leader, Thomas Sankara.
He is not related to the late leader, who remains an iconic figure in the history of Burkina Faso.
Thomas Sankara renamed the country from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso (land of honest men) in an attempt to set a new standard of governance.
He adapted radical left-wing polices, and was killed in a coup led by Mr Compaore, who went on to introduce multi-party politics.

Supporters of the closed charity Kids Company are taking part in a march in London.

The march from Camberwell, south London, to Downing Street has been called to raise awareness of vulnerable people who used the service.
The charity was closed following a row over funding. Kids Company has denied allegations of financial mismanagement.
The prime minister said the government had been right to give the charity one more chance.
Before it shut its doors on Wednesday, Kids Company provided practical, emotional and educational support to some of the most deprived and vulnerable inner-city children and young people in London, Liverpool and Bristol. It was founded in 1996 by Camila Batmanghelidjh.
David Cameron said he was sad at the closure of the charity, which had been given a Â£3m government grant last week.
He said: "The government thought it was the right thing to do to give this charity one last chance of restructuring to try and make sure it could continue its excellent work.
"Sadly that didn't happen, not least because of the allegations that were made and private donors withdrawing their money but I think the government was right to say let's have one last go trying to keep this charity going, given the work it's done for so many young people."
Some 150 people gathered outside the charity's former centre in Camberwell to take part in the march to Parliament.
Lisa Moodie, who has been a youth worker with the charity for seven years, said: "Today isn't about Camila, it's about love, it's about making sure the children's voices are heard.
"I agree people need to be accountable for what happens to our young people, it's not acceptable that we just leave them discarded. These are very vulnerable young people, they live chaotic lifestyles.
"When they mess up, we're here for them just as your parents would be. It's very difficult to measure success in a hospital - it would be how many broken bones do you have. How we measure success can be in small things. It might be learning how to use a knife and fork."
Anita Ebirim, who brought her eight-year-old daughter to the charity, said: "Why did they close Kids Company? It's a place we come to save our lives.
"Every day we come here to eat our lunch... we get breakfast, we get clothes.  A lot of young men come who don't work, but it stops them messing around and getting into drugs."
Kids Company employs 600 paid staff, as well as working with a pool of about 8,000 volunteers and 500 students.
Marie, a 30-year-old volunteer from Wimbledon, said: "It makes no sense, it hasn't really sunk in yet. The kids keep coming and find out by the notice on the gates . We didn't have time to say our goodbyes to the kids."
The charity has been beset by problems, including allegations of financial mismanagement and accusations by former staff that the charity failed to deal with allegations of serious incidents.
Kids Company is also being investigated by the Met Police's Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command.
Ms Batmanghelidjh has strongly denied any wrongdoing.


The ability to teach children with additional support needs (ASN) in mainstream Scottish schools is under threat, the country's largest teaching union has claimed.

The EIS union said cuts to the number of ASN teachers meant pupils' needs were not being met as well as they should be.
And it said ASN teachers were reporting a lack of equipment and resources.
The employment of support staff is the responsibility of local councils.
A wide range of factors can lead to children having a need for additional support, including learning difficulties, family circumstances, disability or health needs, and social and emotional factors.
The most recent figures showed there are currently 170,329 pupils with additional support needs in Scottish schools, of whom 162,034 were in mainstream schools.
Children classed as having additional support needs now make up a quarter of the total number of pupils in mainstream schools - with the figure having increased dramatically from 98,523 over the past five years.
However, figures published last year showed ASN teacher numbers had fallen 13% between 2010 and 2014 to 2,963, while overall teachers numbers fell by 2.3% to 50,814 in the same period.
ASN teacher numbers also dropped in 22 out of Scotland's 33 local authorities over the same period.
The EIS said it supported the principle of inclusive education, but warned that cutbacks meant some ASN teachers feared it was being done "on the cheap".
General secretary Larry Flanagan said: "Members working with pupils with additional support needs have reported that the current climate is extremely challenging.
"Cuts to ASN teacher numbers have meant these teachers having very high workloads and feeling unable to meet pupils' needs as they would wish to.
"There is also an undervaluing of ASN teachers' skills and experience and the EIS has heard reports that ASN staff are often being used as supply cover - especially as the national difficulty in securing supply teachers has worsened."
Mr Flanagan said ASN roles were being "de-professionalised", with assumptions made that "this is work that any teacher can do".
He added: "ASN teachers are reporting a lack of equipment and resources, which makes their day-to-day work more difficult. Some schools no longer have any one-to-one support for pupils with ASN, or have no specialist services.
"ASN teachers are stressed and struggling due to the cuts and the inclusive educational environment we all support is being stretched to the limit.
"Those who are making these cuts should be aware of the damage they are causing."
The Additional Support for Learning Act requires education authorities to identify, provide for and review the additional support needs of their pupils.
The Scottish government said it wanted all children and young people to receive the support that they need to achieve their full learning potential.
A spokeswoman added: "We have a positive picture of children with additional support needs consistently achieving more each year.
"Our most recent statistics and report to parliament on the implementation of the legislation indicates that attainment levels continue to improve.
"Children and young people should learn in the environment which best suits their needs, whether that is in a mainstream or special school setting."
But opposition parties claimed Scottish government cuts to council budgets were making the situation worse.
Labour's education spokesman, Iain Gray, said: "Like all staff working in our schools, additional support needs teachers are feeling the brunt of a decade of SNP cuts and mismanagement.
"Additional support needs teachers require support and extra resources so they can provide the best education for some of our most vulnerable young people, yet the SNP's budget will cut a further £327m from schools and other local services next year."
And Scottish Greens MSP Ross Greer said: "ASN teachers and support staff have been cutback and overworked as councils struggle to cope with years of reduced funding from the Scottish government.
"Instead of distracting us with unwanted governance reviews, assessments and league tables, Scottish Ministers need to make ASN their top education priority. Giving young people the support they need is the best way to improve attainment."


The head of the Cayman Islands' main finance organisation has said that critics of the offshore centre are "absolutely wrong".

Jude Scott, the head of Cayman Finance which is part funded by the islands' government, said that publication of the ultimate beneficial owners of businesses in offshore centres would not be effective.
His comments come ahead of David Cameron's anti-corruption summit today where the Prime Minister will announce new rules on revealing foreign owners of property in Britain and a crackdown on businesses that fail to tackle fraud.
Mr Scott's comments appear to put paid to Mr Cameron's pledge in 2013 to "tear aside the cloak of secrecy" surrounding offshore tax jurisdictions by creating a publicly available register of beneficial owners.
Sources close to the British Virgin Islands government I have spoken to also said there was no push from the UK government for such a register in Britain's overseas territories as there was no international agreement for other countries to follow suit.
Both the Cayman Islands and the BVI have agreed to sharing details of any business owners with tax authorities and law enforcement bodies to tackle tax evasion and money laundering.
"When we look at moving to standards like those [public registers] they would really only be effective if they are applied to all financial centres whether they be G20 countries or in other international financial centres," Mr Scott told me.
"We are very confident that our model in the Cayman Islands will stand up to transparency at whatever level is implemented as a global standard.
"Where the problem comes in is when there is picking and choosing which jurisdictions need to live up to a higher standard.
"That creates problems."
The lack of movement on public registers of beneficial owners is likely to be criticised by campaigners for transparency.
Earlier this week, Mark Goldring, the chief executive of Oxfam in Britain, said the Prime Minister needed to "stand-up" to the UK's overseas territories.
"It's not good enough for information about company owners in UK-linked tax havens to be available only to HMRC [the UK's tax authority] - it needs to be fully public to ensure that governments and people around the world can claim the money they are owed and hold tax dodgers to account."
But Mr Scott said that critics of the Cayman Islands and other overseas territories were mistaken.
"There's an element of privacy that we should expect when we are doing legitimate transactions - much as if we go to our bank and we do a transaction," he said.
"There is an expectation that won't be made public and I think those are reasonable expectations.
"If we do breach laws then of course we should expect that our information is going to be provided to appropriate authorities."
He said that although the Cayman Islands allows investors to reduce what he described as "tax friction" it was not a way of avoiding tax as taxes were still paid in an investors home country and in the country investments were made.
I asked Mr Scott if critics who said that all offshore tax free jurisdictions should be closed down and had no economic purpose were wrong.
"Absolutely they are wrong and we would love to have the opportunity for them to be exposed to what is the proper and accurate and very positive story of how the Cayman Islands contributes in many different ways working with tremendous clients around the world to provide benefits in the global market place.

An action group has said it will continue to push for a bypass to a Borders town despite it not featuring on initial A7 improvement works.

The Scottish government announced initial investment of about Â£240,000 on the route last week.
It did not include a number of proposals which "fell outside the scope" of the current work programme.
The A7 Action Group said it had not given up hope of a Selkirk bypass at some time in the future.
Last year Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said he was "open minded" about the project and residents voted strongly in favour of the move.
A7 Action Group Secretary Marjorie McCreadie said that further talks were planned with Transport Scotland.
She added: "Although none of our big-ticket items are there at the moment, this is up for future discussion."
Ms McCreadie said small-scale efforts like cutting back vegetation could improve sightlines on the route.
However, she said she believed there was still a chance for bigger projects to take place.
"I think the main thing in this response from the minister is the willingness to keep the door open for further dialogue and we look forward to that very much," she explained.


Colombia's second-largest rebel group, the National Liberation Army (ELN), says it is holding a missing soldier.

In a statement, the ELN said it had kidnapped the soldier, Freddy Moreno, on 24 January in the eastern province of Arauca.
It said it was willing to release Mr Moreno ahead of peace talks set for next week.
The talks were previously delayed because of the ELN's failure to release the people it is still holding hostage.
Formal peace talks had been due to start at the end of October but the Colombian government said they would not go ahead if the ELN did not first free Odin Sanchez, a former Congressman the rebels have held since April 2016.
The rebels in turn demanded that the government pardon two of its members serving time in Colombian jails.
The two sides struck a deal and the two ELN members were released on Saturday, the ELN confirmed.
The two are expected to serve as rebel negotiators at the peace talks which are due to start on 7 February in the Ecuadorean capital, Quito.
The ELN has said it will release Mr Sanchez on Thursday.
Mr Moreno is expect to be released on the same day.
How significant is Colombia's ELN rebel group?
The government reached a peace agreement with Colombia's largest rebel group, the Farc, last year.
Members of the Farc have been gathering in "transition zones", where they are to demobilise and lay down their weapons under the supervision of United Nations monitors.
The last of the Farc rebels are expected to reach the designation demobilisation areas by Wednesday, government officials said.


A bearded dragon with an abscess, and a Burmese python with anorexia were among a record number of pets treated under insurance policies last year.

The bearded dragon, a kind of lizard, had its sore jaw treated at a cost of £410.
The food-resistant python proved even more expensive, costing £790 to treat.
They were both among 932,000 pet insurance claims made in 2016, according to the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
The total amount paid out to policy-holders was £706m, a 7% increase on 2015 and also a record high.
Among other unusual treatments were:
The average cost of a claim is now £757, a 5% rise on 2015.
"There is no NHS for pets, and the cost of getting quality veterinary treatment can quickly run into thousands of pounds, particularly with rising veterinary costs and a greater range of medical treatments for pets now available," said Rebecca Hollingsworth, general insurance policy adviser at the ABI.
However most pet owners do not bother with insurance.
Only 30% of dog owners and 16% of cat owners pay for an annual policy.


One of the over-arching constitutional principles of the UK - set down in the 1688 Bill of Rights is this: "That the Freedome of Speech and Debates or Proceedings in Parlyament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any Court or Place out of Parlyament."

I wonder if anyone's mentioned this to the European Court of Human Rights, who seem to be in the process of setting rather an interesting precedent.
The Grand Chamber of the ECHR has issued what amounts to a preliminary judgement overturning disciplinary action by the Parliament of Hungary against two groups of opposition MPs who staged demonstrations against the ruling FIDESZ party. Among other things they unfurled banners, used megaphones in the chamber and placed a small wheelbarrow full of soil in front of the prime minister.
The Parliament punished them with fines ranging from 170 to 600 euros - and the MPs complained to the court that the decision violated their rights under Article 10 of the European Convention (Freedom of Speech) and under Article 13 (right to an effective remedy) because they had no mechanism to appeal against their fines.
The Court upheld their complaints and ordered the fines to be repaid.
Now, this may all have taken place in a faraway country, of which we know nothing, but imagine the fun if the ECHR did something similar to an MP who had been named by the Speaker, sent out of the Chamber and "suspended from the service of the House"; a punishment which includes a loss of salary.
For centuries, Parliament and the UK courts have gone to some trouble to avoid treading on each others' toes; it's hard to imagine an incursion by the ECHR not causing quite a detonation.


James McKeown saved a stoppage-time penalty to earn Grimsby a point against Luton.

Chris Clements' opener was cancelled out by Isaac Vassell before, with the game into five added minutes, referee Mark Haywood pointed to the spot after Danny Collins handled in the box.
But after his dramatic return to the side following Dean Henderson's recall to Manchester United, Grimsby's long-serving keeper kept out Danny Hylton's spot-kick to preserve a share of the spoils.
After a tight, goalless first half, Luton re-started brightly, with Brandon Comley having to hack clear a low cross from on the line.
But just as the visitors were starting to step up a gear, Grimsby broke the deadlock when Ben Davies - after seeing an effort charged down - kept the move alive with a fine, hanging cross to the far post, where Clements powered his header home from close range.
However, the Hatters hit back when Pelly Ruddock nipped in at the corner and crossed into the area, where Vassell headed home despite McKeown's best efforts.
They looked to have sealed the victory when they were awarded their 95th-minute penalty, but McKeown was to prove Grimsby's saviour.

Stoke City have signed 18-year-old defender Josh Tymon after he left relegated Hull City.

Tymon opted to cancel his scholarship contract with his hometown club, despite having made 12 appearances last season.
He has signed a five-year deal with the Potters.
The Championship side will be entitled to a fee due to the England Under-20 international's age and their role in his development.
Tymon made his debut for the Tigers in the FA Cup against Bury aged 16.
Hull's vice-chairman Ehab Allam told the club website: "The club is naturally disappointed to lose a home-grown product of its academy."

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says he will not make any panic signings before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.

United lost 2-1 at Swansea on Sunday and have scored just three goals in four league games.
"You can never speak as a club like Manchester United that you are satisfied," Van Gaal said.
But the Dutchman added: "We shall not buy another player that we have not scouted before."
Van Gaal has spent around £80m on players this summer, including the £31m signing of Netherlands forward Memphis Depay, but after selling Robin van Persie to Fenerbahce and not replacing Radamel Falcao, he is short of striking options.
Captain Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick in a comfortable Champions League win over Club Brugge in midweek but has not scored in the Premier League since April and wasted several good chances at the Liberty Stadium.
United, who are five points behind leaders Manchester City, continue to be linked with several strikers but Van Gaal does not expect any last-minute moves.
"We have to keep on and in January the windows are open again. It is a process. I cannot change that process.

"You are dependable not only on the player you want but the club - and also what you want to spend. It is a lot of things you cannot force."
Goalkeeper David De Gea was again not involved as the Spain international continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The Spanish transfer window closes at midnight on Monday - 18 hours before the English window shuts at 18:00 BST on Tuesday - but Van Gaal said he was not involved in any negotiations.
"We have to wait and see but I don't want to interfere," he said.
"As a manager we have divided our tasks and the task is for [United executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward and not for me."
United's poor attacking display at the Liberty Stadium prompted former captain Gary Neville to urge action in the transfer market.
The England coach said on Sky Sports: "If Javier Hernandez leaves, they've got one striker. I'm not classing Marouane Fellaini as a striker. They've got one striker in Wayne Rooney.
"From Manchester United's point of view, they have to resolve the centre-forward and the goalkeeper situation in the next two days.
"I would have said, having let Jonny Evans go, they need a centre-back as well but to do three pieces in the next 48 hours I think will be nigh-on impossible.
"But I'd be absolutely staggered if there wasn't a striker brought in. It has to happen."


A number of roads and local bus services in the north west have been affected by adverse weather conditions.

The falling snow has made driving conditions difficult in some areas, although roads are being gritted.
There is a Met Office warning for snow and ice across the west and north of Northern Ireland.
Translink have said express buses are operating as usual but some city services & rural areas may be disrupted.
Harold Henry from Transport NI told BBC Radio Foyle that roads are passable but with care.
Earlier, he said snow was coming in thick and fast and it could continue, "particularly on the higher ground".
"Engineers will continue to monitor the situation and if further action is required it will be taken. Some temperatures have fallen before zero so there is a risk of ice as well."
Weather conditions continued to cause disruption on Tuesday night, with BBC Northern Ireland cameraman Phil Hilditch saying it had taken him more than two hours to travel from the BBC Foyle complex in Londonderry to Altnagelvin Hospital.
Police advised drivers to avoid the Scraghey Road in Castlederg, County Tyrone because of snow.
City of Derry airport have tweeted an apology to passengers for some "minor" flight delays, while Translink are issuing updates on disruptions to their rural and city services.
A number of local schools also closed including Cumber Claudy Primary School and Evish Primary School in Strabane.


Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour has been seriously wounded in shooting at a meeting of militants in Pakistan, Taliban sources say.

Four Taliban gunmen were killed in the gunfight after an argument on the outskirts of Quetta, a source said.
Another report said Mullah Mansour died but this is unconfirmed. A Taliban spokesman denied the gunfight happened.
Mullah Mansour's appointment prompted splits in the Taliban after its founder Mullah Omar's death emerged in July.
A number of senior Taliban commanders refused to pledge allegiance to him and a faction opposed to him was set up last month under Mullah Mohammad Rasool.

The Taliban source said the firing seemed to be spontaneous rather than planned.
Several other Taliban sources told the BBC that Mullah Mansour and his bodyguards had been at the house of another militant, Abdullah Sarhadi, when fighting broke out.
Sarhadi is a Taliban figure with symbolic importance after spending years in US detention in Guantanamo Bay, reports the BBC's Dawood Azami.
Compared to Mullah Omar, his secretive predecessor, Mullah Mansour has adopted an open approach and has met Taliban commanders regularly to discuss their policy concerns, our correspondent says.
What prompted the shooting in Quetta is unclear.
"During the discussion, some senior people developed differences and they opened fire at each other," said a senior Taliban commander, Reuters reports.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid categorically rejected the reports.
"No such incident has happened, because he is in Afghanistan not in the area of Pakistan  they have mentioned. Secondly his security is not weak to allow such an incident," he told the BBC Afghan service.
Mullah Omar died in 2013 but his death was only confirmed in July.
News of his death disrupted fledgling peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban.
Some senior Taliban leaders had been suspicious of Mullah Mansour's support for peace talks hosted by neighbouring Pakistan, and accused pro-Pakistani circles of installing him as the new leader.
Since August Mullah Mansour has overseen a series of battlefield victories, including briefly capturing the northern Afghan city of Kunduz - a huge setback for Western-backed Afghan forces.
But the Islamist movement has split into openly warring factions since Mullah Omar died.
Recent reports suggest one of the leaders of the breakaway Taliban faction, Mullah Dadullah, was killed in recent fighting with militants loyal to Mullah Mansour.


Police in South Africa have foiled an attempt to smuggle a stolen luxury car into Zimbabwe using donkeys to pull it across the Limpopo river.

The suspects fled into the bushes towards Zimbabwe after their efforts to free the car from the sand failed, local police say.
Last December a vehicle stolen in Durban was recovered on the same river, attached to a group of donkeys.
Local police are investigating whether a syndicate is behind the new practice.
Police Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo says a Mercedez Benz C220 was recovered on the river bed close to Musina.
The suspects had put metal sheets under the wheels to make it easier to pull across the sand.
"The suspects were using donkeys to pull the car across the riverâ€š but our members were just in time to pounce on them after the donkeys were apparently no longer able to pull it through the sand," Mr Mojapelo is quoted in local media as saying.
The donkeys were unharmed.
It is not clear why the thieves do not simply driver the car into Zimbabwe but one reason might be that most modern cars are fitted with a tracking device which uses satellite tracking to locate a vehicle, if stolen.
The tracker is only active when the car is running.
The Limpopo River forms the border between South Africa and Zimbabwe and is a well known transit point for illegal immigrants moving between both countries but the news of it becoming a smuggling point for cars is a surprise development, says the BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg.
Authorities regularly patrol the Beit-Bridge border post to monitor movements between the two countries in a bid to curb cross-border crime, our correspondent says.


When faced with a deadly disease, such as Ebola, that has no known cure and kills half of those it infects, it's tempting to give any experimental treatment a try - no matter how risky.

But is this morally right?
In recent weeks, doctors at the Royal Free Hospital in London have given William Pooley, the British nurse infected with Ebola, an experimental drug called ZMapp.
He has been discharged from hospital, and declared free of the virus, but it is not possible to say if it was the drug or his treatment at a world-class hospital that was the deciding factor.
The only clinical trial data for this medicine comes from monkey studies, and although those results look promising, treating a man is a far cry from treating a monkey.
Mr Pooley is not the first Ebola patient to be used as a test case at the Royal Free.  In November and December 1976, a British researcher spent 32 days in the hospital's plastic insulator.
The researcher - who wishes to remain nameless - accidentally pricked his thumb when handling a guinea pig infected with Ebola in a laboratory at Porton Down.  There was no blood or any visible puncture mark.  A few days later, however, he fell ill and was transferred to the Royal Free.
Faced with a new disease with a high fatality rate, the doctors gave the researcher a treatment that was unproven and experimental - a mixture of serum obtained from people who had recovered from Ebola and human leucocyte interferon.  The patient recovered.
Interestingly, six of the 24 nurses who cared for the researcher developed acute respiratory infections and four out of the five doctors developed a "flu-like" illness with gastrointestinal symptoms.  When tested, their antibodies showed no evidence of Ebola.
A year after the first outbreaks of Ebola in 1976, a conference was held in Antwerp, Belgium, to discuss this mysterious new disease and other haemorrhagic fevers. During a debate on treatment, Dr Jordi Casals, a virologist, raised two key questions about the use of experimental treatments.
He said: "I want to make some comments on the use of immune plasma in the treatment of these hemorrhagic fevers.
"First of all we have to know whether it helps or not. Then whether it does any harm.
"In the case of Lassa fever, out of five or six [who had been given plasma] one followed a course which was harmful."
Dr Casals alluded to one of the most famous maxims in medicine: "First do no harm."
As nearly all medical procedures involve some degree of harm (such as puncturing the skin to give an injection or cutting open an abdomen to remove an appendix), a more accurate formulation is: "First, do no net harm."  The benefits must outweigh the harms. Even with Ebola, an intervention can worsen the condition.
The current outbreak of Ebola has a case fatality rate (CFR) of about 55% - meaning the disease kills about one in every two people who catch it. With state-of-the-art facilities, the CFR is likely to be lower.  A reasonable chance of survival exists with ordinary supportive care.
Dr Casals was no stranger to the dangers of haemorrhagic fevers and the value of experimental treatments.  In June 1969, he was working in a laboratory in Yale on the Lassa virus, a then unidentified pathogen with a fatality rate of up 50%.  Like Ebola, Lassa fever has the highest Bio-Safety Level 4 classification, reserved for life-threatening biological agents requiring the maximum containment laboratory.  Three American nurses had contracted the disease in the village of Lassa, Nigeria, and one had survived.
Despite wearing goggles, mask and gloves, Dr Casals fell ill.  Close to death and without a known cure, he was treated experimentally with the blood plasma from the surviving nurse in the hope that her antibodies would save him.  He slowly recovered.
In late 2002, a new disease emerged in southern China - severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars).  Transmitted by respiratory droplets and close personal contact, it soon spread around the world.  By July 2003, more than 8,000 people had contracted the disease.  The mortality rate was close to 10%.
Toronto was one of the worst-hit areas.  When I arrived in the city in the summer of 2003 to start a hospital internship in clinical ethics, patients were still dying from the disease.  On each visit to the hospital, masked healthcare workers would take my temperature, squirt my hands with antibacterial gel, and ask how I was feeling.
The spread of Sars was so rapid that there was no time to conduct proper studies on treatment.  Many treatments were experimental and some, such as Ribavirin, which had been effective against Lassa fever, probably caused significant adverse effects.
Ebola is a dramatic disease that appeals to our ancient fears, but any decision to give an experimental treatment should not be rushed.  History is full of cautionary tales of promising treatments that proved harmful.  Thalidomide, developed in the late 1950s, was an effective sedative but caused gross limb abnormalities in infants.
In a crisis where the alternatives are grim, the usual rules of safety and caution are relaxed.
A few years ago, I witnessed an operation on  a young man who had been shot in the lower back by a rival gang member.
He was bleeding so heavily that the trauma surgeon had little hope of saving him.
In a last-ditch attempt to control the bleeding, he tried an experimental technique published in a journal article the previous month.
The patient died the next day.
In such situations, a decision must be made at once.
In most cases, however, there must be processes and safeguards to minimise the risk.
If possible, the new drug or treatment should be approved by a team of medical specialists.
For drugs, these specialists include immunologists and clinical pharmacologists.
They will help assess the likelihood of harms and benefits.
An ethics committee should be consulted to ensure ethical concerns, such as consent and confidentiality, are addressed.
The hospital lawyers should also be involved - who, if anyone, will be liable if the treatment proves catastrophic?
There is no universal process for approving experimental treatments, but the idea is to make as informed a decision as possible with the input of experts, including the patient and relatives.
If the green light is given, the experiment should be treated as research, resulting in a publication to share the results.  Whatever the outcome for the individual patient, others should benefit from the trial.


People need to "grow up" in their opposition to cutting the number of local authorities, Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews has said.

Mr Andrews said councils had been given "every opportunity" to agree on a new map but had failed to do so.
A consultation on the proposals to cut the number of councils from 22 to eight or nine is due to end on Monday.
Labour AM Alun Davies said telling people to grow up was probably not the best way to get consensus.
There was "titanic disagreement" on what the future structure should be, Mr Davies added.
Giving evidence to the local government committee, Mr Andrews criticised the lack of ambition and lack of agreement from council leaders.
"Everybody can agree on local government re-organisation but nobody is prepared to agree on what it should look like," he said.
"That is not a sustainable position. People need to grow up, bluntly and we need to get agreement on this as soon as we can after the May election because as the trade unions have said, this is leading to some demoralisation among staff who want to know what the way forward is.
"We have given every opportunity to local government to agree on a map, they cannot agree so we as a national assembly are going to have to make those decisions and legislate on those decisions in the next assembly."
Mr Andrews also attacked the chief executive of the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) Steve Thomas for telling the committee it took longer to change councils across Wales than to defeat the Nazis in Europe.
"This kind of rhetoric is unhelpful because we can all indulge in it," Mr Andrews said.
"I can indulge in it just as much as the chief executive of the Welsh Local Government Association. Does it get us anywhere? No it doesn't."
As well as expressing concern about the time re-organisation had taken, Mr Thomas said the debate about structures, which he said had been a "movable feast", had been too narrow.
"The problem is it's been a movable feast, hasn't it, and that movable feast has been partly dictated by the debate in this place itself [the assembly],and it's been partly dictated by the unanswered questions in terms of the cost," he added.
If Labour are still in power after May, a bill will be presented to the assembly in the autumn, with a view to the changes being forced through with legislation.
Mr Andrews said he thought the most likely prospect of political agreement on re-organisation was between Labour and Plaid Cymru in the next assembly.


The UK government is being taken to court over claims pollution levels emitted by a power station in the Vale of Glamorgan are above legal limits.

The European Commission says coal-fired Aberthaw, near Barry, has been pumping out more than double the legal amount of nitrogen oxides for seven years.
Nitrogen oxides can cause problems for people with respiratory illness.
A UK government spokesman said: "Air quality has improved significantly - we have invested £2bn since 2011."
He added: "Aberthaw Power Station is also investing to meet future emission limits set by the EU.
"It would be inappropriate to comment on this case further while infraction proceedings are under way."
The Aberthaw plant is operated by RWE npower and regulated by the UK government.


Two dogs owned by actor Johnny Depp have been flown out of Australia after they were taken there without permission.

15 May 2015 Last updated at 16:29 BST
The actor is currently in the country filming another 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film.
Last month the star and his two dogs, Boo and Pistol, flew there from Los Angeles in America on a private jet.
All dogs that arrive in Australia must spend at least 10 days in a special area so they can be checked over.
Lots of countries have these kinds of rules to prevent the spread of diseases between animals.
But on this occasion the authorities didn't even know that the dogs were in the country.
They only found out when a photo of them at a grooming parlour appeared online.
Boo and Pistol are now on their way back to America.


Three teachers and two children have been taken to hospital after a suspected ammonia leak at a school.

Emergency services were called to Warblington School in Havant after staff reported a "suspicious smell".
A school spokesperson said five people were affected and chemicals were not involved. Everyone inside was evacuated to the sports hall.
The school in Hampshire has closed early as there is no heating or catering provision.
South Central Ambulance Service said they were called to treat 17 patients at the scene after a reported ammonia leak.
The three teachers and two children were taken to Queen Alexandra Hospital as a precaution for minor respiratory issues.
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said they were called at 09:52 GMT to reports of a chemical smell.
A spokesman said fire crews could not find a source or smell and the investigation was handed over to the head teacher.
A statement issued on the school website said the area was now "safe" but would be closing early.


About 100 young people recovering from cancer are taking to the UK's seas in a "confidence-building" project run by yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur.

Round Britain 2017, organised by the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, will take place between May and September and will visit more 60 towns and cities.
Young people aged eight to 24 will be taking part, in relays.
Dame Ellen, founding patron of the charity, broke a record for the fastest solo circumnavigation of the world.
One of those taking part, Hannah Spencer, said she "wouldn't be here" without the trust.
The 23-year-old, from Belper, Derbyshire, was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia in 2009 and will work as a volunteer mate on the voyage.
"The trust has had a massive impact on my life and I definitely wouldn't be here without them," she said.
Crew member Tom Roberts, from Ripley, North Yorkshire, was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma - a form of bone cancer in the spine - on his 16th birthday and has been involved with the trust since 2010,
He said he was taking part in the challenge "to ensure that others continue to benefit from the trust the same way I have".
The sailing journey takes in Cowes, Cardiff, Glasgow, Belfast, Plymouth, Bristol, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Hull, London and Southampton.
The crew will visit cancer treatment centres where they will meet other young people who are still in recovery.
I was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in January 2014.
I was working at the time and in a place where I was looking to maybe study and just do everything really.
It was very shocking getting the diagnosis and then a massive challenge to have to get my head around that, going into treatment and then working through it.
I've had chemotherapy, radiotherapy, two stem-cell transplants and I have regular check-ups.
I've got the all-clear now and I am very much looking forward to sailing in the summer.
I was introduced to the trust through my youth worker. I later applied to be part of Round Britain and am very excited to have been selected for the leg from London to Cowes, via Southampton.
Sailing has helped me build my confidence considerably as well as allowed me to socialise with people of a similar age, going through the same treatment I have.
It's a return to normality in a way - going back to work and doing all the activities I never thought were possible.
Dame Ellen, who is based on the Isle of Wight, said: "Round Britain is about a lot more than sailing.
"It is about rebuilding the confidence, self-belief and independence of those involved - bringing back in to focus positive options which have been unimaginable during treatment."
She added she hoped the trip would "highlight just how incredible and courageous these young people are", as well as "raise the profile" of the charity.
In 2005 Dame Ellen broke the world record for the fastest solo circumnavigation of the globe. The current record holder is French yachtsman Thomas Coville.


Two men who were in charge of a boat carrying cocaine worth £512m have been convicted of an international-drug smuggling operation.

Mumin Sahin, 47, and Emin Ozmen, 50, from Turkey, were caught after the MV Hamal was stopped 100 miles east of Aberdeenshire in April 2015.
A total of 3.2 tonnes of high purity cocaine was discovered hidden in a ballast tank at the front of the ship.
Sahin and Ozmen were found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow.
They were convicted of smuggling cocaine on the MV Hamal as well as a separate charge of being concerned in the supply of the drug.
Sahin, the skipper, held his head in his hands as the verdicts were announced.
Kayacan Dalgakirin, 54, Mustafa Guven, 48, Umit Colakel, 29, Ibrahim Dag, 48, were cleared of the allegations after the jury returned not proven verdicts.
Three other men - Mustafa Ceviz, 55, Abdulkadir Cirik, 32, and Muhammet Seckin, 27 - were cleared earlier in the trial after the same charges were thrown out.
Judge Lord Kinclaven remanded first offenders Sahin and Ozmen in custody until sentencing next month.
The smuggling was said to have taken place between February and April last year.
Prosecutors stated that the boat travelled from Istanbul via Tenerife to South America then onto the North Sea.
The raid happened after the MV Hamal was halted in international waters and brought back to Aberdeen Harbour.
French customs had earlier been tipped-off that drugs were on board.
The vessel was intercepted by the Royal Navy warship HMS Somerset and Border Force officials.
Sahin was the captain of the boat with Ozmen second in command.
Colakel was third captain with Dalgakirin and Dag engineers while Guven was a seaman.
A National Crime Agency (NCA) officer told the trial how he and his colleagues formed a human chain to painstakingly unload 129 bales of cocaine from the tug.
Alistair Gow recalled the haul being so big, it took two days to remove. This involved a specialist "deep rummage" team being deployed.
A crane was required at the quayside to then move the bales off the ship.

In an unusual move - and amid tight security - the drugs were brought to court for the jury to see.
The purity of the cocaine ranged from between 58% and 74%.
Police drugs expert Jurgen Wahla revealed that the haul had a potential UK street value of £512m.
This would happen if the cocaine was adulterated to around 15% pure and sold in one gram deals.
Mr Wahla added: "It is a massive importation - unprecedented in what I've seen in my experience."
Mustafa Guven gave evidence during the trial.
The father-of-three recalled how he ended up on the Hamal after answering a job advert he spotted at a bus stop back in Turkey.
Guven had no previous experience of being employed on a boat - but said he was told during the call it was "not important".
Via an interpreter, he told the jury: "I thought it would be fantastic to work on the sea."
He said there had been an "agreement" the voyage would last six months, but, at first, he did not know where the ship was going.
Guven recalled the boat ending up in a number of locations including Greece, Tenerife and Guyana.
After the trial, NCA senior investigating officer John McGowan said they believed it was the biggest maritime seizure of cocaine in Europe.
"While we suspect that the end destination for this load would have initially been mainland Europe, there is no doubt, given the size of the seizure, that a good percentage would have ended up being sold in the UK and fuelling further criminality," he said.
And Tony McMullin, the regional director of the Border Force north region said it was one of the "most intricate concealments we've every encountered".
He added: "Once discovered, it took nearly three days for the team to remove all the cocaine bales from Hamal - demonstrating the scale of this operation and the ability and dedication of our officers."


Former Tottenham Hotspur youth goalkeeper Tom McDermott has joined Derry City until the end of the League of Ireland season in October.

The 19-year-old from Strabane spent three years with Spurs and part of their development squad.
He was released by the White Hart Lane club in June.
McDermott will compete with regular keeper Ger Doherty and understudy Eric Grimes for a place in Kenny Shiels' Derry side.
City are currently third in the Premier Division and their next match is away to fourth-placed Shamrock Rovers on Friday, 4 August.


The London Fire Brigade was closely consulted over the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower that included the installation of flammable cladding, the BBC has learned.

Documents seen by the BBC say there was "close liaison" between the fire brigade and the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (TMO).
Firefighters were shown the "fire safety features of the building".
A fire brigade spokesman said it did not "sign off" the refurbishment.
The fire brigade's role in the refurbishment, which was completed in July 2016, would be covered by the public inquiry into the disaster, he said.
Police believe at least 80 people died when the tower was engulfed in fire on 14 June.
The fire started in a fridge-freezer, but the cladding and insulation surrounding the building following a refurbishment has also come under scrutiny, with experts saying a more fire-resistant type could have been used.
Robert Atkinson, the leader of the Labour opposition group on Kensington and Chelsea Council, said he was "completely gobsmacked" by the revelation of the brigade's involvement in the refurbishment, adding: "I find this absolutely extraordinary and potentially very important.
"I really think we now need to make sure that the role of the fire people before the fire is looked into, and I hope that the judge and the inquiry will look at that very carefully."
The terms of reference for the inquiry were announced on Tuesday 15 August.
Chaired by retired judge Sir Martin Moore-Bick, it will cover the design, construction and refurbishment of Grenfell Tower as well as the response of the London Fire Brigade.
Two building experts also called for the public inquiry to investigate the role of the fire brigade in the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower.
Geoff Wilkinson, a fire expert and building inspector, told the BBC: "What I find slightly bizarre is the fact that the fire has occurred in the way it has, given the fact that the Tenant Management Organisation seem to have taken a fairly responsible approach in involving the fire service in that process."
Paul Follows, a consulting structural engineer, said he found the revelation "quite shocking" bearing in mind the lessons learned about previous tower block fires that involved types of external cladding.
He told the BBC it was important the inquiry examined the role of the London Fire Brigade, adding: "It would be very very important, I believe, in a wide-ranging inquiry, to ask all of these questions and a lot more of the fire brigade, what they were asked, what information they were given."
Documents seen by the BBC show "close liaison" between the Tenant Management Organisation and the London Fire Brigade "throughout the duration of the project".
One TMO document revealed how, at the conclusion of the project, operational firefighters from the local fire station had attended an onsite briefing "where the contractor demonstrated the fire safety features of the building".
The BBC has learned that the fire brigade was invited to liaise over the refurbishment following a fire at another of the TMO's tower blocks in North Kensington in October 2015.
Firefighters had to rescue about 50 people from Adair Tower, in Appleford Road, after a blaze broke out in a third-floor flat. Sixteen people received hospital treatment.
Following the blaze, the fire brigade issued a series of enforcement notices that required the Tenant Management Organisation to undertake a number of fire safety improvements at Adair Tower and a second block nearby, Hazelwood Tower.
The TMO declined to comment.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said it did not "sign off" the refurbishment - adding that its legal powers limit the service to act only on "internal fire safety problems such as compromised fire doors and combustible materials on staircases".
A spokesman said: "While firefighters regularly visit local buildings to familiarise themselves with the layout and the firefighting equipment such as hydrants, this is not the same as making a detailed inspection of a building refurbishment especially when many of the changes would sit outside of our powers."
He added he could not confirm the exact contact the LFB had with the TMO regarding Grenfell Tower because the public inquiry had begun.


Sri Lanka beat Australia by 106 runs in Pallekele to claim only their second Test victory over the tourists, who set a Test match record in defeat.

Chasing 268 in the first Test, Australia were all out for 161, their innings finishing with a record 154 consecutive deliveries without a run.
Australia - the world's top-ranked Test side - had a first-innings lead of 86.
But Kusal Mendis' superb 176 - his first Test century - and 5-54 from Rangana Herath proved decisive.
Australia captain Steve Smith made a gritty 55 before tail-enders Steve O'Keefe and Peter Nevill resisted for 178 balls, scoring four.
The second Test of the three-match series takes place in Galle, starting on Thursday, 4 August.
O'Keefe and Nevill's ninth-wicket stand came at just 0.13 runs an over, before debutant Dhananjaya de Silva had Nevill caught behind. The previous record for a partnership lasting 100 balls or more was 0.64 by South Africa's Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers against India last December.
Australia survived just 15 further deliveries before Herath claimed his ninth wicket of the match to secure Sri Lanka's first win over the Baggy Greens since 1999, and second in 27 attempts.


Transport chiefs in the Spanish capital, Madrid, have launched a campaign discouraging "manspreading" - men encroaching on other seats by sitting with their legs wide apart.

Bus operator EMT is putting up new signs showing a seated male figure, legs akimbo, next to a big red cross.
A similar campaign is planned for the city's Metro system.
The move follows an online petition by a women's campaign group, which garnered more than 12,000 signatures.
Manspreading - which was accepted as a word in the online Oxford dictionary two years ago - is already discouraged in some other cities around the world.
EMT said in a statement (in Spanish) that the aim of the new signs was to remind male travellers "of the need to maintain civic behaviour and to respect the space of everyone on board the bus".
The women's group Mujeres en Lucha (Women in Struggle) said in its online petition that it was not uncommon on public transport to see women "with their legs closed and very uncomfortable because there is a man next to her invading her space".
It's hashtag #MadridSinManspreading (#MadridWithoutManspreading) has been widely used on social media.
In 2014, New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority decided to crack down on the manspreading scourge with signs on the city's Metro that read: "Dude... stop the spread, please."
The US city of Philadelphia also launched a "Dude, it's Rude" campaign, while Seattle's transport provider put up signs showing an octopus with its tentacles draped over bordering seats.


Officials in Haiti have begun counting the votes cast in Sunday's much-delayed elections.

The process is expected to take at least a week as officials tally the paper ballots by hand.
The election was delayed for more than a year after the results of the October 2015 vote were thrown out following allegations of widespread fraud.
After President Michel Martelly's mandate expired in February, Jocelerme Privert was named interim leader.
The Caribbean nation was choosing a new president and lawmakers.
The presidential election will probably go to a second round on 29 January as none of the 27 candidates is expected to gain the 50% of the votes necessary to win outright in the first round.
Exit polls suggested Jovenel Moise, 47, had an early lead, although the supporters of Maryse Narcisse said their candidate was ahead.
Mr Moise enjoys the backing of former President Martelly and belongs to his Parti Haitien Tet Kale (Haitian Bald Head Party).
A banana exporter, Mr Moise won the first round of presidential election held in October 2015 but following allegations of fraud, those elections were annulled.
Ms Narcisse, a doctor, has the backing of Haiti's first democratically elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and is one of two women running for the top office.
Whoever wins the election will face the challenge of reconstructing a country which has been ravaged by natural disasters.
The most recent, Hurricane Matthew, destroyed 90% of some of Haiti's southern areas.
One voter in that region told Reuters news agency that what people there needed was "aid after the hurricane, because everything was lost".
An appeal for donations by the UN has so far failed to raise even half the sum it set out to reach.
$2bn
Estimated loss caused by Hurricane Matthew
$120m Sum UN wants to raise
$45.6m Pledged so far
$23m Sum pledged by US
Voter turnout in the areas worst hit by Matthew last month was low, according to reports.
But the president of the electoral council, Leopold Berlanger, said he was satisfied overall with how voting had progressed.
In the capital, Port-au-Prince, voters queued from early in the morning to to cast their ballots.
"This is my responsibility as a citizen," Alain Joseph, a motorcycle taxi driver in the city, told the Associated Press news agency.
Some hours after voting ended, a fire broke out at a market in a suburb of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
The cause of the blaze is still unknown.


As Alessio De Laureto drops the calamari rings into the sizzling oil, he says he is very happy to work in a box.

Thankfully for the 30-year-old Italian, his popular takeaway Don Luigi isn't based in something made out of cardboard or plastic.
Instead, he runs his business from an old shipping container - the steel boxes that usually spend their time circumnavigating the globe on cargo ships.
And Mr De Laureto is far from alone. His business is based at Pop Brixton, a busy food and retail development in south London comprising 50 former shipping containers and which opened in 2015.
His onsite neighbours include 15 other takeaways and restaurants, plus bars, clothing retailers, and offices for other start-up firms, including a maker of Bluetooth speakers.
"I'm very happy indeed to be here," says Mr De Laureto. "Myself and my business partner Maria are only starting out, so we couldn't have afforded the rent of a proper [bricks and mortar] shop, and this is much better than having a pop-up or market stall exposed to the rain."
As the cost of renting a bricks and mortar location gets ever more expensive in the UK, Pop Brixton is part of a small, but growing movement to build food and retail villages or "pop-up malls" made from shipping containers.
Also in London, is Boxpark, which now has two sites, in Shoreditch in the east of the city, and Croydon in the south. Meanwhile, in Bristol there is Cargo One.
Each offers start-up businesses a more affordable way to get a roof over their heads, and the opportunity to rub shoulders with other like-minded firms, in a location where they can all benefit from the combined footfall that comes from being part of a larger retail community.
To boost visitor numbers further, and turn the sites into wider leisure attractions, both Boxpark and Pop Brixton organise regular music concerts at their locations.
But how exactly do the companies get their hands on shipping containers?
In 2015, 2.48 million standard-size 40ft (12m) shipping containers arrived in the UK, but only 2.41 million left again, according to official figures from the Department for Transport.
The ones that stay are typically retired from service due to wear and tear, and put up for sale. And if you fancy one as a large garden shed, you can pick one up for about Â£1,100.
One of the biggest sellers of the containers is Bullman Marine Supplies and Containers, which is based beside the Thames in Barking, east London.
It currently has more than 7,000 containers for sale, and also sources brand new ones from China for buyers who want one in sparkling condition. One of these could set you back Â£2,500.
Bullman project manager Oliver Bullman says: "We buy used  containers from shipping lines who sell them when they reach their asset write-off value, at which stage the line replaces worn containers with new ones.
"Their lifestyle depends on how damaged them become. Containers carrying scrap steel might wear out in four or five years, while others, with any necessary repairs and refurbishment, can last 25 years."
The used containers are available in three quality grades - A, B, and C - with A being the best quality.
Bullman will also convert containers for customers, turning them into everything from mobile bars to crowd control turnstiles, exhibition units, and bike racks.
Boxpark in Shoreditch, which launched in 2011, was the first food and retail park made entirely from shipping contains to open in the UK.
Its founder, Roger Wade, says that the genesis of the idea goes back to 1999 when he was running fashion brand Boxfresh.
He says: "I'd always been into industrialisation. When attending German trade shows with Boxfresh we would build a mini shop and then knock it down, so eventually I started to wonder 'why don't I build a trade show stand in a container?'.
"That was the beginning of my fascination, in 1999. Years later a friend was running retail developments, so some time in 2008-09 I wondered 'why not build a whole retail development out of containers?'.
"Boxpark was the world's first pop-up mall when we launched in Shoreditch in 2011."
Boxpark Shoreditch is now home to 19 restaurants and bars, and 27 shops, while its second site in Croydon has 35 places to eat and drink.
Each container is connected to mains electricity and water, and Boxpark can help tenants to fit-out their premises.
Rents are typically Â£20,000 a year, more than a market stall, but less than bricks and mortar premises.
And the sites themselves have all passed planning and building location regulations.
Back at Pop Brixton, Rick Campbell is one of the owners of Indian restaurant Kricket, which has space for 20 diners in its container.
He says: "Pop Brixton provides a platform for start-ups or young businesses to focus primarily on their product or service, by taking away many of the operational headaches associated with running an independent business.
"It's a great environment to test a concept without too much capital expenditure, and with a high concentration of other businesses that automatically generate solid footfall.
"[However] undoubtedly the biggest con is storage - we simply are so limited on space it means we have to stay on top of our ordering for food and drink."
Despite being a bit cramped, Pop Brixton has enabled Kricket to prove that its food and service is popular, and it now also has a bricks and mortar outlet in Soho, central London.
Another business based at Pop Brixton is speaker firm Boombocs, which makes wooden Bluetooth speaker systems.
Its owner and founder Jonny Williams, says setting up at Pop Brixton saved him from having to work from home.
"If I wasn't able to get in here I'd still be at home working on my sofa, which wasn't ideal."
