US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged Israel and the Palestinians to take advantage of the Gaza truce to move towards broader negotiations.

Mr Kerry told the BBC the situation could concentrate minds on the need to negotiate a two-state solution.
A 72-hour humanitarian truce is holding in Gaza, halting a four-week conflict that has claimed more than 1,900 lives.
Israel and the Palestinians have sent delegations to Cairo to discuss the possibility of a longer-term truce.
Mr Kerry, in a BBC interview, said the US fully supported Israel's right to defend itself against militant rocket attacks.
"No country can live with that condition and the United States stands squarely behind Israel's right to defend itself in those circumstances. Period."
Mr Kerry said that Hamas, which controls Gaza, had "behaved in an unbelievably shocking manner engaging in this activity and, yes, there has been horrible collateral damage as a result".
Asked whether he supported Palestinian demands for a lifting of Israel's blockade of Gaza, Mr Kerry said: "What we want to do is support the Palestinians in their desire to improve their lives and to get food in and to open crossings and to reconstruct and have greater freedom."
But he said that had to come "with a greater responsibility towards Israel, which means giving up rockets".
8 July
Israeli offensive began
4,760+ air strikes on Gaza
3,488 rockets fired at Israel
1,973 people killed in Gaza
UN estimates +70% of deaths are civilians
3 civilians killed in Israel
64 Israeli soldiers killed
Mr Kerry said all this would only come together with a "bigger, broader approach to the underlying solution of two states" that would provide security for Israel and "a better life and greater freedoms for the Palestinians".
Mr Kerry added: "I believe that the situation now that has evolved will concentrate people's minds on the need to get back to the negotiations and try and resolve the issues of the two states."
Tuesday's truce came into effect at 08:00 local time (05:00 GMT) and has so far held.
Israel withdrew all forces to positions outside Gaza and many Gazans began to return to discover the state of their homes following the four-week conflict.
Manar Abu Louli returned to find that her home in Rafah had been used by the Israelis as a makeshift field HQ.
"She is lucky," a relative told Associated Press (AP). "If they had not wanted to use her home for shelter, they would have shelled it to bits."
Some Israelis close to the border were unconvinced the military had finished its job removing tunnels used by militants to infiltrate Israel.
"Who can promise me that all the tunnels have been destroyed? I am angry that they are not pressing on with the offensive," Leah Musafi, who lives on the Nir Am kibbutz, told Reuters.
Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza have been returning to their homes. Many have found nothing left.
We met the Za'Noun family in Beit Hanoun, one of the worst affected areas right on the border with Israel. Their family home has been destroyed for the third time.
The Za'Nouns will rebuild again. "Where else can we go?" Khalil Za'Noun, 80, asked me.
One of his 34 grandchildren, Mohammed, has already lived through four wars in his short life. He's just 14.
But this will not be the last war in Gaza. This truce is only a short-term fix. None of the big issues between Israelis and Palestinians has been fixed.
The latest ceasefire was brokered by Egypt in talks between Palestinian delegates in Cairo on Monday.
Israel did not take part but has now sent a team for indirect negotiations.
The main Palestinian demands include the end of Israel's blockade of the territory and the opening of border crossings. They will also want internationally funded reconstruction.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said Israel's main focus for a longer-term deal would be on demilitarising Gaza to achieve a "sustained period of quiet".
But senior Hamas official Izzat Rishq told AP: "We'd take the life of anyone who tries to take the weapons of resistance."
Israel launched Operation Protective Edge on 8 July with the stated aim of ending rocket attacks and destroying tunnels used by Palestinian militants.
The latest figures from Gaza's health ministry list 1,867 deaths. Some 63 Israeli soldiers and four civilians in Israel have died.
Gaza's Deputy Economy Minister Taysir Amro said the cost could be up to $6bn (Â£3.55bn).
Separately on Tuesday, Israel revealed it had arrested a Palestinian suspected of involvement in the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in June. Hussam Kawasme was arrested on 11 July.
The deaths and subsequent apparent revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager were key factors in escalating tension.


For the first time, doctors have breached the human brain's protective layer to deliver cancer-fighting drugs.

The Canadian team used tiny gas-filled bubbles, injected into the bloodstream of a patient, to punch temporary holes in the blood-brain barrier.
A beam of focused ultrasound waves applied to the skull made the bubbles vibrate and push their way through, along with chemotherapy drugs.
Six to 10 more patients will undergo the same procedure as part of a trial.
Experts said the experimental technique used at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre was exciting because it meant doctors might be able to give cancer patients potent drugs that otherwise would not work.
The same non-invasive method could also be used for other brain diseases, such as dementia and Parkinson's.
But many more safety studies are needed, they say. Animal trials have produced some results, but it is not yet clear whether the treatment would work or have side-effects.
The blood-brain barrier keeps pathogens and toxins away from the central nervous system. But this tightly packed layer of cells, which separates the brain from its blood vessels, can be a hindrance if you want to deliver drugs into the brain.
The Sunnybrook team temporarily ripped holes in the barrier to allow chemotherapy a safe passage through.
For eight years, Bonny Hall managed her brain tumour with medication - but earlier this year, she was told the cancer was growing.
Her tumour needed more aggressive, targeted therapy.
Her doctors asked the 56-year-old if she wanted to be the first in the world to try out a treatment that could deliver chemotherapy drugs via the blood-brain barrier.
She was given an intravenous infusion of chemotherapy followed by a small dose of the micro-bubbles that would punch a way through once they reached the target area of the brain and the ultrasound beam was switched on.
Brain scans suggest the treatment went to plan, and the researchers will soon examine a small part Ms Hall's tumour (removed surgically the day after the therapy) to confirm how much of the chemotherapy penetrated.
She says she is both nervous and excited "if I can help in any way".
"It's going to also look after things like epilepsy, Alzheimer's, a lot of other diseases," she says. "This isn't just about a brain tumour.
"I just want to be a normal mum, a normal grandma, just a normal housewife, a normal wife. That's all I really want to be."
All of the participants who will take part in the trial are among those already scheduled for traditional surgery to remove parts of their tumour.
Lead researcher and neurosurgeon Dr Todd Mainprize said: "The results are preliminary at this point because we don't have the levels of chemotherapy - but based on the gadolinium MRI scan, we were clearly able to open up the blood-brain barrier non-invasively, reversibly and it appears quite safely.
"We are always concerned about possible downsides to any treatment and this is why this phase-one trial is undergoing.
"We are looking at the safety profile."
Prof Gail ter Haar, an expert in ultrasound technology at the Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: "This is an exciting clinical step.
"Opening the blood-brain barrier using focused ultrasound beams has been a goal of researchers for about a decade, with the Toronto group being at its forefront, and it is exciting to see this reaching the clinic at last.
"The use of ultrasound for enhancing the local delivery of drugs to a number of different targets in the body is being investigated by a number of centres around the world, including the UK, and shows particular promise in the field of cancer chemotherapy."
Egle Solito, a senior lecturer at Barts and The London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry, said it was important not to raise hopes too soon.
"We need lots more research. The blood-brain barrier is a sealed system that protects the brain and when you open it, even temporarily, there are risks."


Two officials in Guangdong province have been arrested after they allegedly bought corpses from grave robbers to have them cremated, Chinese media say.

They said they were trying to ensure government quotas on the number of cremations every month were met.
In Chinese tradition, relatives are buried with tombs built so that loved ones can perform ancestor worship.
However, the Chinese government has encouraged cremations to save land for farming and development.
In June, a resident of Beiliu city in southern China Guangxi region reported that his grandfather's body had been stolen from the graveyard.
In July, police in Beiliu arrested a grave robber, surnamed Zhong based on an investigation, official news agency Xinhua said, citing Chinese media.
Zhong confessed he had stolen more than 20 corpses from graveyards in local villages at night. He said he put then into bags and transported them into neighbouring Guangdong province.
Zhong also alleged that he had sold the bodies to two officials in Guangdong.
The two officials, surnamed He and Dong, who were in charge of implementing funeral management reform, were arrested last week.
They told police they had bought the corpses to meet the government quota on cremations.
Dong is said to have paid 3,000 yuan ($489, Â£306) each for 10 corpses. The official surnamed He said he paid 1,500 yuan for each corpse but how many he bought is unknown.
The government policy has angered many, especially in rural parts of China, because of the traditional belief that the body must be intact for a peaceful afterlife.
Chinese media have reported cases of people committing suicide before the cremation regulations were put in place so that they may get a burial.
Other reports have alleged some family members are burying their loved ones in secret to get around the restriction.


Yorkshire all-rounder David Willey has been told not to bowl for six weeks because of an abdominal injury.

The injury means Willey could be unavailable for some of England's one-day international series against Sri Lanka next month.
He has played 13 one-dayers and 11 Twenty20 matches for the national team.
The 26-year-old took two wickets in his first match for Yorkshire against Notts last week and 3-55 in their latest game against Surrey.


A musician from Alloa has died after drowning off the coast of the Caribbean island of St Maartens.

Nicolas Sagar was working as a pianist on the island and had gone swimming. It is believed he got in to difficulties and drowned.
The 33-year-old was found at Maho Beach by tourists who could not resuscitate him and called emergency services.
Medics pronounced him dead at the scene on Sunday morning and his body was identified later that day.
Mr Sagar's parents are working with the Home Office to repatriate their son's body and arrangements are still being made for his funeral.
Police on the island said there appeared to be no suspicious circumstances and that the incident was a tragic accident.
Mr Sagar, who was also involved in acting and musical directing, previously worked in musical theatre in London and on cruise ships.
He was expected to continue his travelling by visiting Barbados on Monday.
'Regular swims'
Kelly Sagar, the deceased's father, said: "He was a wonderful son. The piano was his great love; from the age of eight, the only thing he wanted to do was play piano and sing.
"He was never happier than when he was sitting at the piano with a pint resting on top.
"He was travelling the world doing what he loved.
"Nick worked in the evenings and liked to spend his days on the beach. He'd go swimming there quite often and it appears that on this occasion he got in to difficulty.
"He will be missed terribly."
Mr and Mrs Sagar said they had been comforted by messages posted on their son's social networking site.


Late-night drinking in England and Wales should be banned, according to the outgoing police and crime commissioner (PCC) in Leicestershire.

Conservative Sir Clive Loader, a retired RAF Air Chief Marshal, was elected as the county's first PCC in 2012.
He believes allowing people to drink later is putting a strain on the county's police and hospital services.
He said he was "appalled" at the behaviour of some people at weekends.
When asked if he believed the law should be changed, he said: "Yes, I do. I would like us to go back to something that looks like a closing time."
Prior to the introduction of new rules in 2005, most pubs were obliged to close at 11pm unless they had a special licence extension.
Sir Clive said: "The police have to put on a lot of extra people on a Friday night, assaults go up fourfold - I think we should be doing more to look after our youngsters.
"I'm not a killjoy... but I don't think we need places open, as we do in the city, until six or seven in the morning - I don't think that's looking after the people who do the drinking.
"I'm appalled that the very people who are helping those who have had too much to drink, they assault them - they assault nurses and doctors."
He said there should be a national debate about the issue.
As the police and crime commissioner for the county, Sir Clive is responsible for setting priorities for the force and overseeing its budget.
He said he was proud of his work to set up the county's first youth commission, which gives younger people a say in how they are being policed.
He also said that police forces in the East Midlands were sharing more resources through a "strategic alliance", but a full merger was not imminent.
"I think it'll probably happen in the next 10 or 15 years, I really do, and because of the way crime is going," Sir Clive said.
"[Crime] can be so complex and international, crossing not just force borders but national borders, so I think the move is generally in that direction.
"The trick will be to get the balance right and not losing sight of the fact that you need eyes and ears on the ground at estates in Leicester city and farms in Rutland."


An Indian man found guilty of financing deadly bombings in Mumbai in 1993 has made a last-ditch appeal to the Supreme Court to suspend his execution.

Yakub Memon says the authorities did not follow proper legal procedures in issuing the warrant for his death.
On Tuesday the court rejected a plea for mercy - paving the way for his execution, possibly later this month.
The serial blasts killed 257 people and were allegedly to avenge the killing of Muslims in riots a few months earlier.
Another 713 were wounded in the bomb blasts in India's financial capital, then called Bombay.
Reports quoting Memon's lawyer said his death warrant was issued before the Supreme Court dismissed the mercy plea.
India rarely sentences people to death - and even more rarely carries out executions. There have been three since 1995.
If the top court rejects Memon's appeal, he will be the first to be executed since a Kashmiri man, Afzal Guru, was hanged in 2013 for the 2001 attack on parliament.
Mohammed Ajmal Qasab, the sole surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks, was executed in November 2012.
In 2004 a Kolkata (also called Calcutta) security guard was hanged for the rape and murder of a schoolgirl.
Memon, a chartered accountant, was sentenced to death in 2007 by a special court in Mumbai, which found he played a key role in the bombing conspiracy.
He is being held in a prison in the western city of Nagpur.
A total of eight members of the Memon family were initially accused of masterminding the bombings and dispersing funds for the attacks.
The eldest brother fled the country, and three other family members were acquitted for lack of evidence.
The alleged masterminds of the blasts, Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon, have been on the run since 1993.


Russia's upper house of parliament has voted to allow the military to be deployed in Syria, paving the way for air strikes on the militant Islamic State (IS) group.

Within hours of the decision, US officials said Russia appeared to have carried out its first attack.
Senior Kremlin official Sergey Ivanov said no ground troops would be involved in Syria, only the air force.
President Vladimir Putin called this week for a broad anti-terror coalition.
He told the UN it should be similar to the alliance that opposed Adolf Hitler in World War Two.
A US-led coalition has been carrying out air strikes against IS in Syria and Iraq for more than a year.
But Mr Ivanov, the president's chief-of-staff, said US and French air strikes in Syria circumvented international law, since they had not been authorised by a UN resolution or by the Syrian government.
President Bashar al-Assad, he said, had officially requested military assistance from Moscow. That was later confirmed in a statement from the Syrian president's office.
As Russia stepped up its involvement in Syria, reports said Syrian government planes had carried out attacks on three towns north of the city of Homs. At least 17 people were killed, including five children, activists said.
Russia has provided weaponry and military advisers to the Syrian armed forces throughout the war, but satellite images from Syria in recent weeks have revealed a build-up of Russian air power at a base outside the Mediterranean port city of Latakia, the heartland of Mr Assad's minority Alawite sect.
There have been widespread reports of military planes and cargo ships arriving from Russia with supplies. Latest speculation has centred on Russia's most modern fighter bomber, the SU-34 or "Fullback". Unconfirmed reports suggested that six SU-34s had flown into Latakia on Tuesday.
The upper house of parliament, the Federation Council, took a similar vote in March 2014, responding to a request by President Putin to authorise the use of Russian forces in Ukraine, although that was revoked two months later.
Mr Ivanov said that Russia was seeking to target IS because "thousands" of Russian citizens had joined its ranks and would pose a threat upon their return to Russia. Earlier this month a top Russian security official put the number of Russian recruits at 2,400 and at least as many from Central Asia.
"This is not about achieving any foreign-policy goals or satisfying any ambitions, which our Western partners often accuse us of. This is exclusively about Russia's national interests," he said.
Earlier this month, Russia's Human Rights Council said it had been contacted by soldiers who feared they were about to be sent to fight in Syria. But Interfax news agency reported that only officers or professional soldiers would be sent there.

US and Russian leaders have long differed over the Syrian conflict, which has claimed more than 250,000 lives and forced four million people to flee abroad.
The US insists President Assad must leave office, and President Barack Obama told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) there could not be a return to the pre-war status quo "after so much bloodshed".
But Mr Putin said it was an "enormous mistake" to refuse to co-operate with the Syrian government against militants.
Some Western leaders have recently softened their stance towards the Syrian president, conceding that he might be able to stay in power during a political transition.
What's the human cost?
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and one million injured in four and a half years of armed conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a full-scale civil war.
And the survivors?
More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes, four million of them abroad, as forces loyal to President Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from IS. Growing numbers of refugees are going to Europe.
How has the world reacted?
Regional and world powers have also been drawn into the conflict. Iran and Russia, along with Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, are propping up the Alawite-led government. Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are backing the Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France.

Marine Harvest has revealed that more than two-thirds of its salmon farms in Scotland broke statutory sea lice limits last year.

The figure of 69% was more than four times the average for the Norwegian group's overall operations.
Marine Harvest cited a number of factors for the difficulty in tackling the problem of sea lice in Scotland.
They included "abnormally high water temperatures for extended periods" and insufficient cleaner fish capacity.
Sea lice feed on the skin and blood of salmon, and can weaken the health of fish and its growth.
In its annual report, Marine Harvest highlighted the impact of the parasites on its operations in Scotland, where it operates more than 50 sites.
Last year, it harvested about 45,000 tonnes of salmon of Scottish origin - more than 5,000 less than in 2015.
The company said mortality losses amounted to 6.5 million euros, while costs associated with sea lice treatment and mitigation rose substantially.
Marine Harvest said it had made good progress in tackling sea lice at its business units in Ireland, Canada and to some extent Chile.
However, it added: "Disappointingly, several factors, including abnormally high water temperatures for extended periods, insufficient cleaner fish capacity, limited access to non-medicinal treatment systems and extraordinary lice pressure, singly or in combination, precluded optimal control and hampered full application of our strategy in Scotland."
The group said new non-medicinal lice treatment methods, including Thermolicers - which bathe fish briefly in lukewarm water - had generated "new challenges", particularly at its Greshornish site on the Isle of Skye.
It added: "At Greshornish, we lost 115,283 fish during our first full-scale Thermolicer treatment because we lacked experience and failed to fully anticipate the consequences of treating fish compromised by amoebic gill disease with water of up to 34 degrees centigrade.
"This incident highlights the importance of experience and the fine line in judging how and when we treat our fish stocks. We will do our utmost to prevent this from happening in the future."Â
Marine Harvest said its research and development focus now included the "optimisation" of non-medicinal treatments and cleaner-fish use, as well as "biotechnological solutions".
Chief executive Alf-Helge Aarskog said: "Sea lice remain our number one challenge, and as such will continue to be our top R&D priority for the foreseeable future.
"Uncontrolled, sea lice impact fish welfare, survival and growth.
"However, it has become apparent that sea lice numbers can be brought under control through increased use of non-medicinal treatment methods.
"Although we still have a way to go, we increased our use of non-medicinal tools in 2016 and expect to reap the benefits of our efforts going forward."


Joe Allen is dismayed at Liverpool's decision to sack mentor Colin Pascoe from the Anfield backroom staff.

Pascoe worked alongside Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers at Swansea and moved to Anfield with him in the summer of 2012.
But the assistant manager was sacked last week after an end-of-season review with the club's American owners.
"I'm very disappointed, he's been someone who's been instrumental in my career," said Wales midfielder Allen, who came through the ranks at Swansea.
"We've worked together for... must be nine years, so he's been a huge part of my career, a massive help to me on a personal level.
"I'm very grateful for all the effort he's put in with me and it's certainly without someone like Pas's help I doubt I'd be playing at a club like Liverpool."
Former Wales, Swansea and Sunderland midfielder Pascoe still had 12 months left to run on his deal, while first-team coach Mike Marsh has not had his contract renewed.
The coaching reshuffle follows a disappointing season for Liverpool, who finished sixth in the Premier League - out of the Champions League qualification places - and ended their season with a 6-1 drubbing at the hands of Stoke City.
Allen was one of Rodgers' first signings at Liverpool, joining the Reds in August 2012 for £15m.


India's top court has found a senior judge guilty of contempt and sentenced him to six months in prison.

Justice Chinnaswamy Swaminathan Karnan of the Calcutta High Court was found guilty of writing letters and making allegations against fellow judges.
This is the first time in India's judicial history that a high court judge has been jailed for contempt.
For the past few months, Justice Karnan has been on a collision course with the judges of the Supreme Court.
He was stripped of his judicial powers in February.
The stand-off dates from January, when Justice Karnan wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagging up the names of 20 "corrupt judges" and three senior law officials.
Even though he failed to provide any evidence against those named in the list, he urged Mr Modi to investigate and take action against them.
After that he was summoned before the top court and barred from performing any judicial or administrative functions.
Justice Karnan responded by accusing the seven judges of caste discrimination, banning them from leaving the country and demanding compensation.
A seven-judge Supreme Court bench that included Chief Justice JS Khehar then ordered a psychiatric evaluation of Justice Karnan by a panel of government doctors.
Justice Karnan angrily responded by ordering similar tests for the seven top court judges.
On Monday, he passed an unprecedented order sentencing India's Chief Justice, and seven other judges of the Supreme Court, to five years in prison.
The order said the judges were guilty of discrimination and harassment, among other charges.
On Tuesday, the top court barred the media from publishing and broadcasting Justice Karnan's statements.

An Australian businessman returned to his home in Sydney to find his property had been demolished because builders targeted the wrong address.

Steve Ballas said he received a call at work from a friend who told him: "They're demolishing your house."
Staff at Daniel's Demolitions were instructed to tear down the property at 200 Marion Street, in Bankstown.
Mr Ballas, who lives next door at number 198, had the wrong house number displayed on his letterbox.
"I was sitting there working away and I got a call from one of my mates and he said 'They're demolishing your house'," Mr Ballas told the BBC.
He returned home to find construction workers levelling his property. To avoid a confrontation, Mr Ballas called the police.
The families whose homes were demolished by mistake
"The police stopped them, took their details. They said 'You guys have made a bit of a boo-boo here - you've knocked the wrong house down'," he said.
Mr Ballas' property has a letterbox at the front which reads "200", when in fact he lives at number 198. The number at the front of his neighbour's house - the real 200, that was to be demolished - was obscured, leading to confusion.
Mr Ballas said it was lucky that the house, which he was preparing to let, was empty at the time. "Mate, there could've been people in there," he said.
He told local programme A Current Affair that prior to the demolition, he believed that the property he had owned for a number of years was in fact 200 Marion Street.
"All I know is I thought I owned 200 Marion Street, Bankstown, and it was a little house I was going to rent. But obviously I don't have that house anymore," he said.
The City of Canterbury Bankstown Council confirmed that the demolition was an error, adding that Mr Ballas' property was positioned between the numbers 196 and 200 in Marion Street.
An investigation is under way to determine the circumstances of the error.
Mr Ballas said he had spoken with the owner of Daniel's Demolitions, who he described as being "shattered" by the news.
"It was an honest mistake. Poor bloke, he was speechless," he said.


Rotherham Council has announced its preferred candidate for the role of its new chief executive.

Sharon Kemp, currently strategic director at Manchester City Council, is expected to take up the Â£160,000 position from March.
The council's elected members have until Monday to give reasons on why a formal offer should not be made.
Government commissioners currently run the council after a report over its handling of child sexual exploitation.
The five commissioners replaced the cabinet in February following the Casey Report's criticism of its woeful response to child exploitation.
Last year the Jay Report found 1,400 children had been subjected to abuse.
The authority said it had received 15 applications and Ms Kemp was chosen following a "rigorous assessment process", with final interviews on Wednesday.
She has worked at Manchester City Council since 2009, and before that was assistant chief executive at Haringey Council in the aftermath of the Baby P case.
Ms Kemp, who was born and lives in Lancashire, said she looked forward to working with Rotherham Council to "make a positive difference".


The discovery of human remains at the site of a home for unmarried mothers has been welcomed by the historian whose research uncovered the burials.

Catherine Corless said "finally the truth has come out" about burials of infants at the former mother and baby home in Tuam, County Galway.
A state-appointed inquiry confirmed on Friday that "significant quantities of human remains" were found during a dig.
The inquiry was ordered in 2014 as a result of Ms Corless's research.
She found death certificates for 796 infants who died at the home from natural causes, but despite painstaking research, she has not been able to locate their burial records.
A statement from the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation said test excavations carried out over the last four months had uncovered a "long structure divided into 20 chambers".
It added that human remains were found in "at least 17 of the 20 underground chambers which were examined".
Tests confirmed that the bodies found ranged in age from premature babies to children age three.
Speaking to BBC Radio Ulster on Monday, the historian said: "I was adamant and I did believe all along that it was only a matter of time until we came across them, so it was a good day to know that finally the truth had come out.
"I was thinking of all the survivors of the Tuam home who have brothers and sisters buried there and I knew in my heart and soul that they would be delighted with this announcement because they want a grave to visit.
"They want to know where their loved ones are buried, so for them it was a wonderful day in that light - a sad day but a good day as well."
Ms Corless told BBC Radio Ulster it was a chance discovery, that happened unintentionally while she was writing a history of the Catholic-run home in Tuam.
"It was during my research that I came across the graveyard, and that's what really started me asking questions," she said.
"I never knew there was a graveyard there. There was no headstone, no crucifix, it wasn't marked on the local map and I just started asking questions."
The home was run by the Bon Secours order of nuns from 1925 to 1961 and according to Ms Corless it was surrounded by 8ft (2.4m) high walls.
Radiocarbon tests carried out on the human remains suggest that they date from the period the home was operational.
The building has since been demolished and in the 1970s, a housing estate was built on the land.
Two young boys who were playing at the site in the 1970s discovered some skeletal remains, but the matter was not fully investigated at the time.
At the weekend, the Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, Michael Neary, said he was deeply shocked and horrified by the confirmation that more human remains had been found buried in the grounds of the home.
He said the church would work with relatives to ensure their loved ones were given "dignified re-interment" in consecrated graves.
Housing Minister Simon Coveney told Irish broadcaster RTÉ that the Tuam burials may have to be investigated by An Garda Síochána (Irish police).
"When you look at the way in which children's bodies were discarded in the way that they were, 17 of the 20 chambers, had remains in them, it's hard to see that there wouldn't be garda involvement in this case," said the minister.
"People shouldn't only talk here about the Bon Secours Sisters, although obviously they have questions to answer, but this was a site that was owned by the state and it's a site that's still owned by Galway County Council, so there's a significant responsibility on the state here, as well as the Bon Secours Sisters."
A spokesman for An Garda Síochána (Irish police) told BBC News NI the force was currently liaising with the coroner on the issue.
As well as the discovery at Tuam, the commission is also investigating conditions at 17 other residential institutions across the Republic of Ireland.
The inquiry began in 2015 and was expected to take at least three years to complete its work.


With the centenary of the Easter Rising this week and Battle of the Somme later this year, more stories are emerging about life in 1916 Ireland.

23 March 2016 Last updated at 13:05 GMT
For a family from Belfast, those two events were intensely personal.
Sisters Elizabeth and Nell Corr took part in the early stages of the Rising - rebelling against the British, as two of their brothers were fighting for the Allies in World War One.
BBC News NI's  Catherine Morrison reports.


As the post-Budget debate on the extent of future austerity rages on, there has been a sobering reminder of the financial needs of the NHS next year and beyond.

Whichever of the main parties is in power will be looking for more spending cuts across Whitehall.  There will be a continued drive to squeeze budgets.  But that task could become even more challenging because of the demands of the health service in England.
The latest figures from NHS trusts, published by their regulator the Trust Development Authority, reveal a widening deficit - £467m over the nine months ending in December.
Add to that the recent numbers from Foundation Trusts from their regulator Monitor and you have a total deficit for that period amongst all NHS providers in England of nearly £800m.
For the full financial year a deficit of up to £1bn for these trusts, covering mental health, ambulance and community health trusts as well as major hospitals, now seems likely.
How much does this matter?
Deficits amongst providers don't tell the whole story of the finances of the NHS.  There are surpluses tucked away in other budgets.  The Department of Health can always pump prime to make the books balance at the end of the year.
It is clear that there have been discreet transfers of cash from the department to the NHS in recent months.  So the numbers for the current financial year, which only has a couple of weeks to run, can be made to add up.
It is next year, 2015-16, which is now causing headaches.
The Trust Development Authority itself says "the worsening position remains a major concern".
The King's Fund think tank argues that "its clear the next government will inherit a health service under huge financial pressure, with deficits among hospitals and other providers likely to continue rising".
Demand for health care continues to outstrip the planned supply of funding to the NHS.  The service is already at full stretch.
But, you may ask, how can the NHS be struggling when the chancellor, barely three months ago, announced an extra £2bn for the service for the 2015/16 year?
The reality, according to senior health sources, is that the extra funding was barely enough to enable the NHS to continue providing a normal level of care.
Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers which represents health trusts, believes the overall deficit for the forthcoming year could be as much as £2.5bn, and that's even after taking account of the chancellor's cash injection.
So whoever is in control from May at Richmond House, headquarters of the Department of Health, will have some tough decisions to make.
Surpluses in other parts of the NHS won't make much of a dent in a deficit of £2.5bn (if it is that high).
That will leave trusts to fall back on cash reserves to plug gaps in their budgets.  But if those cash reserves run dangerously low the only remaining option will be another handout from Richmond House.
There will of course be demands for trusts to become even more efficient and to make better use of resources.
Old hands in Whitehall have always been ready to call the bluff of hospital chiefs complaining about their budgets. But with such a large potential financial gap, the incentive for trusts to try to cut individual deficits will be dulled.
They may decide its not worth the bother if a bailout is inevitable.
As the new government grapples with the public finances and decides where the next cuts will come, there will be an unpalatable item high in the in-tray.
There will probably have to be a choice soon between another cheque for the NHS or more missed targets and deteriorating services for patients.


HIV drugs should be given at the moment of diagnosis, according to a major trial that could change the way millions of people are treated.

People currently get antiretroviral therapy only when their white blood cell levels drop.
But a US-led study has now been cut short as early treatment was so beneficial for patients.
The United Nations Aids agency has called for everyone to get immediate access to the drugs.
Around 35 million people are living with HIV and more than 2 million start antiretroviral therapy each year.
The discovery of drugs to attack the virus has profoundly changed the way the disease is treated.
But there has been fierce debate about when treatment should start.
World Health Organization guidelines say treatment should start when there are fewer than 500 white blood cells in every cubic millimetre of blood.
The trial on 4,685 people in 35 countries, organised by the US National Institutes of Health, compared this approach with immediate treatment.
The trial started in 2011 and was due to run until the end of 2016.
But an interim analysis of the data showed that cases of Aids, deaths and complications, such as kidney or liver disease, had already been halved by early treatment.
All patients on the trial are now being offered antiretroviral drugs.
The director of NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, said: "We now have clear-cut proof that it is of significantly greater health benefit to an HIV-infected person to start antiretroviral therapy sooner rather than later.
"Moreover, early therapy conveys a double benefit, not only improving the health of individuals but at the same time, by lowering their viral load, reducing the risk they will transmit HIV to others.
"These findings have global implications for the treatment of HIV."
Michel Sidibe, executive director of at UNAids, argued: "Every person living with HIV should have immediate access to life-saving antiretroviral therapy.
"Delaying access to HIV treatment under any pretext is denying the right to health."
Dr Steve Taylor, the lead HIV Consultant at the Birmingham Heartlands HIV Service, told the BBC the trial was hugely important.
"Not least that they will they will change the way HIV treatment is prescribed in the UK and around the world.
"Based on this study, people will be able to access treatment much earlier than currently, which is good for their own health and will reduce HIV transmission."
Deborah Gold, chief executive of the National Aids Trust, said: "These exciting results should dramatically change the approach to treatment for people living with HIV, both in the UK and internationally."


Switzerland and France played out a Euro 2016 goalless draw which took the Swiss into the last 16 and saw the French win Group A.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Paul Pogba - recalled by France in one of five changes - was lively and hit the woodwork twice in the first half.
French substitute Dimitri Payet also struck the crossbar with a brilliant volley from Moussa Sissoko's cross.
Switzerland could have had a penalty when Bacary Sagna pulled Blerim Dzemaili's shirt in injury time.
France will now play the third-placed team from either Group C, D or E - meaning Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are both potential opponents - in Lyon on Sunday.
The Swiss will face the second-placed team in Group C, who are currently Poland but could be Germany or Northern Ireland, at Saint-Etienne the day before.
With Albania beating Romania 1-0, Switzerland would have progressed even if they had lost at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille.
BBC pundit and France legend Thierry Henry put it best when he said his country go into the knockout stages not knowing their best XI.
France coach Didier Deschamps has changed his side in each game, with Pogba and Antoine Griezmann, who had been dropped for the 2-0 win against Albania, starting again after impressing off the bench in that match.
Juventus midfielder Pogba was the first half's outstanding player. He cleared a chance off the line, had a shot tipped onto the bar, forced another save from Yann Sommer and then smashed the ball against the bar with a swerving strike after a bursting run.
However, it was a different story in the second half, with the period only coming to life when Payet - the star of the tournament so far - came off the bench to a huge reception from the crowd.
The West Ham playmaker almost gave France the lead with a stunning volley after Sissoko's excellent run and cross down the right, seeing his effort come back off the bar.
Having scored in the 89th minute against Romania in the opening match and deep in injury time against Albania, he again had a chance for a late strike but his 87th-minute free-kick, which looked goalbound, hit a team-mate in the wall.
Switzerland have not beaten France in seven meetings now and rarely looked like ending that run, failing to hit the target with six shots - three were off target and three were blocked.
However, they played well - a long way from their 5-2 hammering by Les Bleus at the 2014 World Cup - and had 58% of possession.
They could even have topped the group above the hosts had they been awarded a penalty at the end when Sagna appeared to foul Dzemaili.
This is the first time they have qualified for the knockout stages of a European Championship, at the fourth attempt.
It was a strange game where on at least five occasions a Switzerland player's shirt was ripped. Midfielder Granit Xhaka, who joins Arsenal this summer, ended the game on his third jersey.
The ball even burst in the second half when Valon Behrami stood on the ball while tackling Griezmann.
Xhaka has cost Arsenal £35m from Borussia Monchengladbach and, on his displays so far at Euro 2016, he looks a stellar signing.
After two games he had the second most touches and passes in the tournament, behind Toni Kroos.
And he topped the charts for both against France, having 105 touches and making 94 passes, with an 89% completion rate. For comparison, Pogba had the ball most for France with 73 touches, passing it 46 times with 78.3% accuracy.
France coach Didier Deschamps: "The pitch is annoying. I don't know who is responsible. We are only in the group stage and it is in a state.
"But for a great goalkeeper and a few centimetres, we would have scored goals. You can always criticise but we kept a clean sheet and we finished top of the group.
"Every match is difficult. Apart from Spain, one or two examples, everyone is finding it tough.
"Paul Pogba was the life force of the match in the first half; he was the heart and soul. In the second half he didn't get forward but he has huge potential and I have huge confidence in him."
Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic: "It's a significant achievement but the first step forward was this, our minimum objective. We played well, we held firm and now we know we will play on Saturday.
"We need to rest up and now other sides deserve to run and play against us. We're relaxed and we'll be trying to win the game and not just do ourselves credit.
"We were excellent in the first half. In the second half it was tricky with the playing surface and we faded a bit. We kept our heads up, but we must do better in the last third of the pitch.
"It [the pitch] hampered the quality of the game. It does not hold up well and I hope they can fix it, but it was the same for both sides."

Human bones have been exposed at a church graveyard in Whitby after a landslide took away part of the cliff.

The large landslip, at the cliff on which St Mary's Church stands, has exposed ancient graves when rock started to crumble.
The church, founded around AD1110, includes the graveyard that provided the inspiration for a scene in Bram Stoker's horror novel Dracula.
The human bones have been collected and will be reinterred, officials said.
The landslide has been blamed on a broken drainage pipe which has become damaged and fallen away.
This meant that after heavy rainfall the soil became saturated, leading to more of the cliff falling away.
A stream of water can now be seen flowing out of the rock face where the bones are believed to have been recovered.
St Mary's rector, Canon David Smith said: "The cemetery has been closed for over a century, so if any graves are exposed it's only bones.
"If anything is exposed we collect and reinter them in the same churchyard away from the edge."
More cracks have since appeared in the cliff top at St Mary's churchyard and warning signs have been installed along the pathway.
Residents and business owners in the area are now concerned further landslides may occur should the cliff be subjected to more heavy rainfall.
Barry Brown, owner of Fortune's Kippers on Henrietta Street, below the cliff, voiced his fears of further movement.
He said: "There is still stuff coming down. It is currently no worse, but not a lot better either.
"They started work this week but it all depends on the weather."
The church, a famous setting in Bram Stoker's Dracula, was built more than 900 years ago, with the cemetery closing in 1865.
Canon Smith said: "St Mary's is the oldest building left in Whitby.
"It is a Grade I listed building and still the parish church so it would be a loss to the community."
The land, including the cliff itself, is the property of the church, and so it is their responsibility to carry out repairs.
Canon Smith added: "The church has been trying to get things done and we have had a civil engineer and people working to sort it out.
"They've been trying to find where the water was coming from and making the cliff edge more secure."
Whitby town councillor, Steve Smith, said the church building was not under threat.
He said: "The church is close to the edge of the landslip, some work has been done by a mini digger to do exploration work where the slippage is.
"I'm assured by the rector of the church, Canon David Smith that the church itself is built on a solid rock foundation."
The landslide comes after five houses in Aelfleda Terrace, Whitby, were demolished in December after heavy rain and flooding washed the steep bank beneath them away.


The number of new civil partnerships in England and Wales has halved in a year according to official statistics.

There were 861 formed in 2015 compared with 1,683 the year before.
Civil partnerships have declined by 85% since 2013, a result of the introduction of marriage for same-sex couples in 2014.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said dissolutions of civil partnerships had risen as more couples swapped them for marriages.
The figures for 2015 showed two thirds (66%) of civil partnerships were between men.
And almost half (48%) of people forming a partnership were aged 50 and over.
Dissolved partnerships increased 14% on 2014 to 1,211.
Elizabeth McLaren of the ONS said: "Civil partnerships have fallen sharply since the introduction of marriages for same-sex couples in March 2014.
"On the other hand, civil partnership dissolutions have increased due to the rising number of civil partnerships that were formed since they were introduced in December 2005. Dissolutions are likely to reduce in the future as more same sex couples form marriages instead of civil partnerships."
London was the most popular place to form a civil partnership with 294 of the total. The figures also showed that in the North East, Yorkshire and The Humber and Wales more partnerships were formed between women than men.


Cardiff City fear defender Bruno Manga could miss the rest of the season.

Manga damaged knee ligaments playing for Gabon in the Africa Cup of Nations and requires a scan on his return.
The 28-year-old was injured late in Gabon's 0-0 draw with Cameroon on Sunday which saw the hosts bow out of the competition.
"It doesn't sound very good," boss Neil Warnock told BBC Wales Sport. "We need to know Monday because of [transfer] deadline day, but I fear the worst."
Warnock had said he might consider cashing in on the defender - signed for £5m from L'Orient in September 2015 - during the January window as he is out of contract this summer.
His form before he left for the African Cup of Nations was impressive, however, and led to Warnock changing his mind. Now Warnock says Cardiff need to determine the exact extent of the injury.
"We've had a scan but it's almost impossible because they can't send it like we do, we have to take our own," he said.
"It's a worry he'll miss the rest of the season, and we have some tough games, just look at our next five games - so I don't think we're out of the woods."
Last year Manga was diagnosed with Malaria having been on international duty with Gabon.
It remains to be seen whether Warnock's activity on deadline day will be influenced by the defender's latest setback.
"I don't know if it'll affect what we do Tuesday, no-one really knows what will happen," said the Cardiff manager.
Warnock is hoping to bring in one or two players before the window closes and says he is thinking over the opportunity of a swap deal.
The club have also had an offer for French born striker Idriss Saadi, who is currently on loan at Belgian side Kortrijkt - a club also under the ownership of Cardiff City's head Vincent Tan.
Warnock is not thrilled that Cardiff play Preston on Tuesday evening, hours before the close of the transfer window.
"You'd think they'd have more sense than having a game on the Tuesday," he said. "There could be deals going on while the games are going on.
"I don't envisage running up the touchline to the fax machine during the game. We're not looking for major signings."


Labour has been "slashing" the NHS budget in Wales, the Welsh Conservatives have said, leading to "devastatingly long waiting lists".

Assembly Tory leader Andrew RT Davies said although devolved, health was one of the main election issues for voters.
"Wherever you go across Wales people raise the issue of the NHS, and Labour are running the NHS in Wales," he said.
Labour responded saying that Tory sums on the NHS "simply don't add up".
Mr Davies said Welsh Conservatives would protect health spending and introduce a cancer drugs fund.
He defended his party's decision to campaign on an area of policy that was not controlled in Wales by Westminster.
"(Labour leader) Ed Miliband has used the example of 'compare and contrast', and I think it is perfectly reasonable to point out we don't have a cancer drugs fund here in Wales and some of the most disappointing ambulance response times on record," he said.
"There is a real dilemma for voters in May. Do they want to vote for the Conservative party who want to protect health spending or do they endorse a party who have drastically cut health provision in Wales?"
But Welsh Labour's Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething accused the Conservatives of wanting to privatise the NHS.
"The Tories have had three opportunities in the campaign so far to rule out privatising the NHS and they have refused to do so" he said.
He added: "This election is a clear choice between a Labour government that would invest in the NHS to train an extra 1000 doctors, nurses and front-line staff, or a Tory government that would introduce a tablet tax for sick people and privatise health services."
Elsewhere on the campaign trail on Monday, Welsh Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams was promising better rural health care while visiting target seats in mid Wales.
Ms Williams said her party wanted to invest in cottage hospitals and community care.
"An urgent care centre in Montgomeryshire is essential if we are to relieve pressure on A&E departments and cut waiting times," she said.
Plaid Cymru accused its rivals of neglecting the economy of north Wales.
Party leader Leanne Wood said: "Every community has a stake in making our country a success and it is time the north of Wales got the investment and vision it deserves from governments in Cardiff and London."
UKIP's leader in Wales Nathan Gill was campaigning in Brecon and Radnorshire.
Meanwhile Labour has promised more powers for Wales over transport, energy and assembly elections in its manifesto launched in Manchester on Monday.


The US supermarket chain Market Basket has agreed to sell to a majority stake to former boss Arthur T Demoulas, ending a months-long dispute.

In announcing his purchase, Mr Demoulas told workers, who had gone on strike in July to protest against his firing, "You are simply the best".
The 70-plus stores belonging to the chain are mostly located in the northeastern United States.
It was estimated the company was losing $70m (Â£42m) a day during the strike.
Late on Wednesday, Mr Demoulas announced that he had reached an agreement to purchase the 50.5% of the company he did not control from a rival faction controlled by his cousin, Arthur S Demoulas, for $1.5bn.
"Words cannot express how much I appreciate each and every one of you," Mr Demoulas said while addressing workers outside the company's Massachusetts headquarters on Thursday morning.
The company employs roughly 25,000 people in the area.
The saga - which had shades of a soap opera - began in June, when Mr Demoulas was ousted as chief executive of the company by a rival faction of his family, which controlled 50.5% of the firm.
The dispute was said to have been over a series of investments Mr Demoulas had authorised, which led to large losses and smaller payouts for Market Basket's shareholders.
However, the dispute simmered for a month until the new management fired eight workers who had protested against Mr Demoulas's demise in July.
That is when a campaign led by Market Basket workers and customers to "Save Market Basket" began to gather steam.
Workers went on strike, truck drivers refused to deliver fresh produce and meat, and shoppers boycotted stores, leading to empty shelves and the near-collapse of the firm.
Efforts on social media also paid off, with an anonymously-run Facebook page to save the firm gathering over 90,000 likes and the hashtag, #MarketBasket, trending often on Twitter.
This brought national and international attention to the plight of the workers, stunning many in the industry both because the workers were not unionised and because they were campaigning for an almost-unheard of thing: the reinstatement of their boss.
Although negotiations between Mr Demoulas and his cousin, Arthur S Demoulas, continued through July, tensions were further agitated when Market Basket's new co-chief executives announced a job fair in early August to hire replacement workers.
'In awe'
Now, those workers are breathing a sigh of relief.
Many tweeted pictures of newly-stocked shelves at several stores where meat counters and fresh produce areas had been empty for the past few weeks.
The question now is whether the chain, which has been essentially not in operation for two months, can recover from the essential collapse of its operations.
Boycotting customers said they would return to shop at the store immediately, as the chain is known for its lower-than-average prices.
"See you at 7 AM tomorrow to buy anything on the shelves!!!! I don't even have a dog but I'll buy dog food if needed!!" wrote one.
Mr Demoulas, in finishing his address to workers before going to inspect several processing facilities, echoed the sentiments of many participants and observers when he said:
"I am in awe of what you have all accomplished."


Ian McShane has become St Mirren's ninth signing of the close season after agreeing to have his contract terminated by Ross County.

The 24-year-old midfielder, who spend two years with the Scottish Premiership club, has signed a two-year contract with the second-tier outfit.
McShane had joined County from Queen of the South.
But he made only 11 appearances for County last season and played his last game against Celtic in December.

Portadown have strongly denied reports suggesting that the club breached Irish Premiership wage payment rules.

There were reports that the club could be facing a penalty of automatic relegation from the Premiership or points deductions because of the issue.
This was said to involve a player who had been on an amateur registration.
However, a Portadown statement on Thursday said that they "demonstrated conclusively" to the Irish FA that no such payments had been made.
The Portadown statement referred to "several articles that have appeared in (the) press today regarding player payments".
"Following a request from the Irish FA, confidential records were passed to their offices on Monday of this week, demonstrating conclusively that the player in question did NOT receive any payment whatsoever from the club.
"The player is fully supportive of the club's position."
The statement also hit out at the "apparently passage of confidential information from the IFA to the press".
Previously, there have been allegations that Irish League clubs could be committing breaches by making undisclosed payments to players.
The Northern Ireland Football League is understood to have been investigating whether clubs may have broken wage cap rules.
Portadown's statement comes five days after Ronnie McFall stepped down as manager after 29 years in charge of the club.
McFall quit following the club's Irish Cup quarter-final defeat by Championships side Lurgan Celtic.
The long-serving manager had been under pressure for several months after a season of struggle at Shamrock Park and had been expected to step down at the end of the current campaign.
Portadown made the headlines in the summer of 2008 when their late application for the IFA's new League led to them having to fight their way out of the Championship in the following season.


China's markets were volatile for much of Monday as mainland stock exchanges reopened following a four-day weekend.

The Shanghai Composite traded erratically, but closed down by 2.5% to 3,080.42 points.
The market volatility in China came as the country's National Bureau of Statistics revised its annual economic growth rate for 2014 to 7.3%, down from 7.4%.
Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng index closed down 1.2% to 20,583.52.
Mainland shares have fallen 40% since mid-June when the sell-off began, while Chinese regulators continue to take more steps to stabilise erratic trading.
China's central bank governor, Zhou Xiochuan, told financial leaders at the G20 summit over the weekend that the markets had almost completed their correction after a steep rise in the first half of the year.
"The stock market adjustment is already roughly in place and financial markets can be expected to be more stable," Mr Zhou said in a statement from Turkey.
Other Asian markets were mixed on Monday despite stocks in the US, which headed lower on Friday after US jobs figures were released.
Friday's much-anticipated jobs figures showed unemployment fell to 5.1% last month, the lowest since April 2008.
The jobs report is the last before the US Federal Reserve meets later this month to decide whether to increase interest rates.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei opened lower on Monday, down 0.65%, but finished the day closing up 0.38% at 17,860.47.
Economist Angus Nicholson from IG Markets said in a note that there were two main factors driving Asian trading on Monday, "the delayed response to Friday's non-farm payrolls number out of the US and the reopening of the Chinese stocks markets after a four-day break".
"Both of these factors are likely to spur further selling in Asian markets today, with the outcome of the [mainland] Chinese market reopening being the greater cause for concern," he added.
In Australia the S&P/ASX 200 closed down 0.2% at 5,030.40, while South Korea's Kospi benchmark index closed down 0.15% at 1,883.22 points, after closing down 1.5% on Friday.


Pharrell Williams was the big winner at the first ever BBC Music Awards.

He picked up the gong for international artist of the year, beating the likes of Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton to the prize.
And his number one hit Happy won song of the year, the only award voted for by the public.
Ed Sheeran meanwhile won British artist of the year at the event in London's Earls Court, beating the favourite - Sam Smith.
There was one other award given to Catfish and The Bottlemen for BBC Introducing act of the year.
But rather than go through the obvious thank yous, here's the fun stuff they said on the red carpet.
We all have guilty pleasures and Labrinth is no different - his secret joy is a cookery programme.
"We drove over [to the ceremony] watching Come Dine With Me," he said.
"That show, I don't know why, is a guilty pleasure for me, I just have to watch it, but it is really bad. It's terrible. It's trash TV but I love it.
"I think if they didn't have that commentator [Dave Lamb], I probably wouldn't watch it. He's the best."
However, he admits he will never go on the celebrity version as he is an awful cook.
"I'd probably kill everyone by burning down the house," he explained.
He picked up the night's big award, so surely that puts Ed Sheeran in the running to sing the next Bond theme right?
Well, he's not so keen.
"I am a James Bond fan but I think the James Bond theme should be ballsy," he explained.
"I feel like if I was to do it, it would sound a bit wet.
"The Hobbit song was perfect for me to do because it was a bit folky, rootsy and guitar driven. And a hairy short man should have done it."
So who should sing the Bond theme?
"Sam Smith."
Safe bet Ed.
Sigma - that's Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie - were pretty excited to be at the awards and be able to hang out backstage.
"Backstage we are next to Take That," Joe Lenzie told Newsbeat.
"Harry Styles gave me the nod as he walked past earlier. I nodded back and said 'What's up?' You don't want to overdo it, play it cool right?"
Zayn had reverted to his slicked-back hair with a loose strand over his forehead.
It's a hairdo that has even got its own Twitter feed.
"It's tweeting right now," Liam suggested on the red carpet and Niall wanted to know if it tickled.
"No it doesn't," explained Zayn. "It's just a piece of hair.
"I am little bit surprised by the reaction to my new hair but it's very flattering and I am very thankful that people are taking so much interest in my singular strand of hair."
Calvin Harris made a rare appearance on a red carpet, saying it was important to be here and support the BBC.
"The first time I was played on the radio was by Pete Tong back in the summer of 2006," he explained.
"Then it just went from there and Radio 1 have always played my records and I've been eternally grateful."
Aww, you're welcome Calvin.
Ellie is another artist who benefitted from early support from the BBC.
She won the Sound of 2010 and has gone on to win Brits and break America.
Ellie has also always had a passion for running and thought this would be a good combination for a video for the BBC Sound of Poll.
"All the other artists did them in the studio or doing a gig," she explained, dressed head to toe in Jean Paul Gaultier.
"Mine was running around my local park with the weirdest hat on and an old charity shop jumper.
"I don't know why I thought that would help me. Yeah, it was me jogging in the park talking about my music, it's come a long way since then."

Newcastle Central was first to announce a result ahead of Sunderland - the past winners, as first declarers.
These people found something to smile about when they went to the polls.
First time voters and their proud parents shared the coming of age moment on Twitter.
There was a bit of a to-do between members of the media who were waiting to capture images of Lib Dem leader Tim Farron exiting a polling station in Cumbria.
Some voters took advantage of the polling station's other facilities.
Why not mark the occasion with a picture? These people did.
Many voters exercised their dogs at the same time as their democracy.
Private houses, pubs and even a laundrette were all called into service to act as polling stations.
The election period saw two acts of horrific brutality disrupt the democratic process, with the Manchester Arena bombing and the London Bridge attack changing the complexion of the campaign.
As a result, people went to their polling station amid heightened security.
Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn, Caroline Lucas, Tim Farron and Paul Nuttall all voted.


The head of funding body Sport England has defended its decision not to class the card game bridge as a sport, ahead of a judicial review into the ruling.

Phil Smith said Sport England's job was to "get the nation fitter".
The English Bridge Union says bridge is a "mind sport" and reclassifying it would increase opportunities to play.
The Royal Courts of Justice will not be asked to decide if bridge is a sport - only whether it was reasonable for Sport England to have ruled it was not.
Reclassifying it would have potential financial ramifications because bridge clubs would be eligible for grants from Sport England and the National Lottery.
The English Bridge Union (EBU) also says lack of recognition hinders its ability to take part in international competitions.
Granting permission for a judicial review in April, Judge Mr Justice Mostyn - who plays bridge - said: "You are doing more physical activity playing bridge, with all that dealing and playing, than in rifle shooting."
Lawyers representing the EBU say they will argue Sport England has acted unlawfully by "adopting a policy that prevents it recognising sports that it does not consider to be 'physical'".
What is a sport?
Along with well-known sporting activities like football, rugby and cricket, Sport England has some less obvious choices on its list, including:
The EBU says it has the definition of sport in the 2011 Charities Act on its side -  activities "which promote health involving physical or mental skill or exertion" - as well as the International Olympic Committee, which said in 1999 that bridge and chess should be considered "mind sports".
They are not currently part of the Olympic Games programme, but organisers of the 2020 summer Games in Tokyo have invited both chess and bridge to apply for inclusion, with the decision to be made next year.
Government body Sport England, taking its lead from the Council of Europe, defines a sport as an "activity aimed at improving physical fitness and well-being, forming social relations and gaining results in competition".
It has argued that bridge is no more of a sporting activity than "sitting at home, reading a book".
Phil Smith, director of Sport England, told BBC Radio 5 live the argument ultimately came down to money and his organisation must spend its "precious funding" on activities which improve physical health.
"It's Sport England's job to get the nation fitter," he said. "And although bridge is a fantastic pursuit, and we think it probably gives pleasure to a lot of people, it certainly isn't getting the nation any fitter."
Mr Smith said classifying bridge as a sport would also "open the door" to other pursuits like chess and Scrabble to "dilute" Sport England's budget.
But Heather Dhondy, a member of England's women's bridge team, said the card game "doesn't involve a great deal of physical activity", but players still had to be physically fit.
"We can be playing up to nine hours a day," she added.
Separately the EBU has also mounted a legal challenge to a decision by HM Revenue and Customs that bridge is not a sport and is not therefore exempt from VAT.
Bridge, or contract bridge, is a card game played by four players who form two partnerships. It uses a standard 52-card deck and involves bets being made on the number of tricks each side will win.

Tributes have been paid to a 66-year-old woman who died after she was hit by a van while trying to save her dog after it got loose on the M4.

Patricia Connors and her pet died after it ran on to the carriageway near Cardiff Gate services on Friday at about 18:20 BST.
In a statement, her family said they were "heartbroken".
The westbound carriageway was closed for five hours between junctions 29 and 32.
Ms Connors was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her family said they were trying to come to terms with what had happened and described her as a "loving mum, grandmother and great-grandmother".


Aberdeen eased past Ventspils and into the Europa League third qualifying round for the third year in a row.

After a 3-0 first-leg victory, they had to work for the win in Latvia and goalkeeper Joe Lewis saved a first-half penalty from Antons Jemelins.
He made further saves from Alans Sinelnikovs and Alexei Alekseev.
But the Dons wrapped up the tie when Jonny Hayes cut back for Adam Rooney to drive into the net and set up a tie with either Maribor or Levski Sofia.
It was Rooney's second of the tie and his ninth in European competition, seven of them scored against Latvian opposition after scoring five over two legs against Daugava Riga two years ago.
The striker now overtakes Gordon Strachan and Joe Harper in terms of goals scored by Aberdeen players in continental competition with only Mark McGhee, John Hewitt and Drew Jarvie ahead of him now.
The goal was reward for a much improved second-half performance from the team in general after a rather flat first half, although that still saw Rooney have a goal chalked off.

It was a professional, if unspectacular display early on with Aberdeen's only real moments of anxiety in the first half coming in the occasional mix-ups involving Ash Taylor and Mark Reynolds, but the Latvians weren't given many chances to fully exploit them.
It was pretty scrappy at times but Dons goalkeeper Lewis did not have a serious save to make in the first half until Ventspils were awarded a controversial penalty just four minutes from the break.
Taylor challenged Alekseev in the box and although the striker went down theatrically the Serbian referee Danilo Grujic pointed to the penalty spot leaving the Dons players and manager incensed.
Thankfully Lewis dived to his right to pull off a fine double save to push away Jemelins' spot-kick.
Just before that Ryan Jack's long range drive was touched onto the bar by Maksims Uvarenko and while Rooney pounced to net the rebound the assistant's flag was already raised.
That apart, Hayes glanced a header wide, Niall McGinn angled a drive off target while at the other end Ritvars Rugins shot wide and Girts Karlsons headed over the bar as occasional chances came and went.
Aberdeen certainly started the second half with increased pace and intensity, best shown when Hayes and Rooney combined in a sweeping move but Kenny McLean had to stretch too far to convert at the back post.
They played a lot more intelligently on the deck, pressing Ventpils back more effectively with the pressure bringing a free-kick that led to Uvarenko brilliantly pushing away McGinn's swerving 20-yard effort.
The standard of goalkeeping remained just as high at the other end though as Lewis made another crucial block to prevent Simonus Paulius giving Ventspils any hope of a win on the night.
That disappeared completely when Rooney anticipated the surging run and cross from Hayes and was in the right place to take full advantage from about 12 yards out.
Aberdeen could have had another couple as Ventspils wilted towards the end, with substitute Wes Burns causing problems and Graeme Shinnie was denied when one-on-one with the goalkeeper.


Loch of the Lowes osprey "Lassie" has left a Perthshire nature reserve after successfully rearing a full brood of three chicks over the summer.

The bird, officially known as LF15, is believed to have started its migration to Africa after departing the Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve near Dunkeld.
The osprey had returned to the reserve for her second season on 18 March followed by her mate a week later.
The male osprey, called LM12, and the chicks are expected to leave soon.
Charlotte Fleming, Perthshire ranger for the Scottish Wildlife Trust said: "We haven't seen LF15 since Friday so it's now extremely likely that she has started her long migration south to Africa.
"Last year she left the reserve on 7 August, it's possible that blustery winds kept her here slightly longer than usual."
"The male LM12 and the three young birds should hang around for a little bit longer before departing, so there is still a good chance to watch ospreys at the reserve this month."
The webcam that monitors the ospreys' nest has been viewed more than one million times since their arrival.


Police hunting for two escaped killers have found evidence in a New York cabin after a witness reported seeing a man fleeing from the home.

ABC News reported that DNA, found on food near the campsite, is linked to the two escapees.
A pair of prison-issue underpants was also found in the cabin, according to the New York Times.
The two escapees, Richard Matt, 49, and David Sweat, 35, disappeared 17 days ago on 6 June.
The discovery has shifted the search to an area 20 miles (32km) west of the site of the prison break.
They escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, through tunnels, using power tools to escape from their cells.
"We have recovered specific items from cabins and forwarded them to labs and got conclusive information,  but we will not confirm what it found," said New York State Police Major Charles Guess at a news conference on Monday.
Police had been searching heavily on a rural area close to the Pennsylvania state line on Monday in Friendship, 300 miles (480km) south of the prison.
On Saturday police responded to a sighting of two men walking along a railway in the area. That sighting is still unconfirmed.
"No lead is too small for us to investigate," Mr Guess said.
Prison employee Joyce Mitchell has been arrested for possibly helping them escape and giving the pair the tools.
Ms Mitchell was planning on meeting the duo with a getaway car, but changed her mind.
Matt was sentenced to 25 years to life for kidnapping and dismembering his former employer in 1997. Sweat was serving life without parole for killing a sheriff's deputy in 2002.


If a legal fight by a group opposed to building a new health campus on 118-year-old allotments continues it will put the whole plan at risk, a council has said.

The Save Farm Terrace Allotment group has asked for a judicial review into a decision to allow land behind Watford Football Club to be developed.
Campaigners say the historic allotments could be part of the plan.
Mayor Dorothy Thornhill said that would lead to an "inferior scheme".
Developers behind the Watford Health Campus project on a 30-hectare site say it is designed to regenerate land between the club and the hospital.
West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust plans to move key clinics and some surgery there from other parts of the county.
The overall scheme would include shops, a school, new homes and affordable housing, Watford Borough Council said.
Allotment holders won an appeal against the council's first plan last August, when Communities Secretary Eric Pickles reversed his original decision to grant permission to close the allotments.
But this was overturned in December, when a revised scheme was accepted by Mr Pickles.
Sara Jane Trebar from the campaign group said it was challenging this decision on the grounds the secretary of state was "misled" about the allotment land being "critical to the viability of the project".
It believes the allotments could be included "without risking the development".
"The allotments have supported communities throughout centuries and it is very important it stays the green land that it is," she said.
Elected Liberal Democrat mayor Ms Thornhill said the decision to include the allotments in the development area had been  taken with "regret and sadness" but the area contributed to the health campus project's "viability".
"[Experts told us] if you want the quality scheme you want, if you want the best shot for the hospital to stay in Watford in the future then we have to include the allotments," she said.
"[If not] it actually means there is a financial risk to the scheme and we would then lose the ability to give the hospital the flexibility it needs to plan its future," she said.
"You would have a completely inferior scheme."


Three British companies have created a device to deter drones from entering sensitive areas by freezing them in mid-flight.

The Anti-UAV Defense System (Auds) works by covertly jamming a drone's signal, making it unresponsive.
After this disruption, the operator is likely to retrieve the drone believing that it has malfunctioned.
The system joins a host of recently announced technologies which can blast larger drones out of the sky.
A drone flying in sensitive airspace can be detected by the Auds radar and then sighted via a camera equipped with thermal imaging capabilities so that it can be targeted visually.
Then, a high-powered radio signal can be focused on the drone - essentially overriding the connection to whoever is operating it.
The whole process takes as little as 25 seconds, according to the manufacturers.
"It's a radio signal. There are a number of frequency bands that are used by all of the manufacturers," explained Paul Taylor of Enterprise Control Systems, which developed the product along with Blighter Surveillance Systems and Chess Dynamics.
"We transmit into those frequencies in the direction of the UAV using a directional antenna," he told the BBC.
"There's quite a lot of radio power on to the UAV - so much so that it can only hear our Auds signal."
The Auds operator can then choose to freeze the drone just for a short time - to convince its owner that there's something wrong with it - or for a longer period, until its battery dies and it crashes.
Auds has been tested in the UK, the USA and France, said Mr Taylor, and government organisations in all three countries had been involved in those tests.
Aviation authorities are increasingly concerned about nuisance hobbyists flying drones close to large aircraft at airports.
The US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) is now receiving around 100 reports per month from pilots who have sighted drones within a five-mile radius of their aircraft.
Last year the sightings numbered only a few per month.
In response, the FAA recently signed an agreement to test new technology which detects drones and identifies the location of their operator.
A spokesman for UK's Civil Aviation Authority, however, told the BBC that the organisation was not likely to consider investigating similar technologies any time soon.
"It's not something that we really feel the need to be doing," he said. "Our focus is on educating consumers.
"We've had our rules in place for over six years now.
"The FAA are a little late to the party in many ways - they developed their regulations only recently."
Beyond simply halting a small quadcopter drone while in flight, there are also military grade weapons now available to blast larger UAVs out of the sky.
The US Army recently demonstrated a prototype weapon which fires special projectiles at UAVs to damage them.
These projectiles can be steered on approach to the drone, which is tracked on the ground with radar.
Once close enough, warheads on the projectiles can be detonated, theoretically destroying the target vehicle.
Alternatively, militaries around the world could also soon be swatting UAVs out of the air with lasers thanks to Boeing's Compact Laser Weapons System.
A recent video published on the company's YouTube profile shows the weapon in action as it burns through the tail of an airborne drone.
Although the technology might sound futuristic, earlier prototypes of so-called "beam weapons" were being tested as long ago as 1974.
It's taken decades of development for them to be considered viable weapon systems for the military today.


Trinity Mirror, the owner of the Mirror newspaper, is to buy local paper publisher Local World in a deal worth £220m, making it the UK's largest regional news outlet.

Trinity Mirror will buy the 80% of Local World it does not already own, and assume its debts.
The deal gives it control of more than 200 titles.
Local World owns 83 print publications including 16 daily titles and 36 weeklies.
Local World was formed from a merger in 2012 of Daily Mail & General Trust's Northcliffe Media, and Iliffe News & Media.
Most of its titles cover the South West and Wales, London and the South East, and the Midlands and the North.
Trinity has also said it will sell some titles in Cambridge and Hertfordshire to Iliffe parent Yattendon Group for £15.8m. Yattendon owned a 21.3% stake in Local World.
More local titles could make the company more attractive to advertisers.


Some customers who purchased the latest Apple Watch for Â£69 ($86) under a deal offered by Vitality Insurance are complaining that their activity data is not being uploaded by the firm's app.

If certain levels of activity are not logged every month customers are charged extra for the device.
The Apple Watch usually costs Â£369 in the UK.
The firm said a small number of customers were affected and some had synced their devices incorrectly.
Vitality declined to give figures of how many had taken up the offer.
Under the deal, customers who do not submit enough activity points per month have to pay an extra sum of up to Â£12.50 every time they fall behind.
The contract lasts for two years.
Anna Holt, from Winchester, told the BBC she and her partner had both taken up the offer, and while his data had synced, hers had not.
She was advised to email screenshots of her activity data to the customer service team, she said.
"It defeats the object," she said. "There seem to be a lot of others complaining about it online."
Overnight, her device suddenly started syncing, she said.
There is no issue with the Apple product itself.
The Vitality UK app, which has a number of features for customers alongside tracking the Apple Watch data, has a large number of poor reviews on the app store and the majority of the 667 ratings it has received so far give it one star, the lowest score.
One reviewer complained in November that only steps and not running data were syncing while another said on 10 January that steps were only being recorded as zero.
"I have to constantly email customer service to get them to update it manually," they wrote.
Another described the app as "well-intentioned but muddled, frustrating, constantly changing and usually not working".
Vitality has been contacted for comment.


A South Korean court has voted to uphold an impeachment vote against President Park Geun-hye.

The ruling means Ms Park becomes the first democratically elected president to be removed from office, and could face prosecution over corruption allegations.
So what does this mean for the country?
The constitutional court backed an impeachment vote by parliament last December. It said the now ex-president's actions had "betrayed the people's confidence" and were "a grave violation of law, which cannot be tolerated".
Those actions were her alleged collusion with her close friend, Choi Soon-sil, to pressure South Korean companies into essentially buying favourable treatment from the government.
Ms Choi, who held no public office, also had extraordinary access to official documents, even editing some of Ms Park's speeches.
Ms Park has not had any presidential powers since December, when parliament voted to impeach her.
An election must now be held within 60 days, and the candidates have been waiting in the wings.
The new president will have to handle a public which has lost trust in the office, and come up with ways to stop such alleged abuses happening in the future.
Many South Korean analysts question whether Ms Park's conservative bloc will recover in time to post a viable threat to the Democrats.
Hwang Kyo-ahn has been acting president, but is not seen as a likely contender as he is too closely linked to the Park administration.
Moon Jae-in, the former head of the opposition Democratic Party, is one possible frontrunner. He lost to Park in the 2012 election and has been gaining popularity during throughout the impeachment scandal.
That is looking highly likely.  Ms Park will now come under intense scrutiny from prosecutors, with no presidential immunity to protect her.
If she does go on trial, it will be over a case linked to one of her few close relationships.
Her friend Ms Choi is already on trial for a string of corruption offences, as is the de facto head of Samsung, one of the companies alleged to have funnelled money through Ms Choi's charitable foundations to win political favour.
Everyone involved denies doing anything wrong.
The case has rocked South Korea's business world, with the chiefs of Samsung and the national pension fund implicated in corruption.
The scale of alleged bribery is colossal. Samsung alone is accused of paying bribes of 41bn won ($36m; Â£29m) to non-profit foundations operated by Ms Choi.
Heads of other big family-run conglomerates - known locally as chaebol - have also been questioned but not charged over donations given to similar foundations.
And some of the specifics, including Samsung admitting it spent about $1m on a horse for Ms Choi's daughter, have shocked Koreans.
But these are huge global companies. There is nothing so far to suggest that customers are turning away from them in South Korea, let alone around the world. Just this week, Samsung was confirmed as having comfortably held its title as world's biggest seller of smartphones in 2016.
Not bad in a year where its highest profile launch had to be recalled after batteries caught fire.
Realistically, a far bigger economic threat now are measures Beijing has taken in response to Seoul's decision to allow a US anti-missile system to be installed. They include closing down South Korean businesses in China and discouraging Chinese tourists form visiting South Korea.
Despite this shock, South Korea remains a stable democracy and economic powerhouse, so its relationships are unlikely to change. In many ways, the peaceful nature of the impeachment protests and the strength of rule of law play in the country's favour.
The US has just begun rolling out a massive missile defence system in South Korea to protect against North Korean attacks and that won't be affected, but the incoming president will have to quickly make friends with the Trump administration to shore up the much-needed military support given by the US.
A US spokesman told Reuters this was "a domestic issue" and the US remained "a steadfast ally, friend, and partner" to South Korea.
Japan - which withdrew its envoy from South Korea recently in a row about wartime sex slavery - said it "needs to promote co-operation" with the new government "in various areas".
North Korea's state media, which normally delays reporting international news, immediately reacted, calling Ms Park "a common criminal".
North Korea has always been scathing of Ms Park - often using her gender to attack her. That rhetoric won't end, but a new leader could potentially help reinvigorate international discussions on how to handle the South's increasingly tempestuous northern neighbour.
How do you fix North Korea?


Cheryl Cole has filed for divorce from footballer husband Ashley Cole, it has been confirmed.

The singer and X Factor judge cited "unreasonable behaviour" in the action filed at the High Court in London.
The high profile couple split in February after claims the England star had been unfaithful during their four-year marriage.
The divorce could go through before the World Cup in South Africa next month, according to reports.
The 26-year-old Girl s Aloud star married the footballer in 2006 in a lavish ceremony in Hertfordshire.
The pair met in 2004 and were engaged a year later after the footballer proposed in Dubai.
OK! magazine covered the wedding, despite Cheryl Cole's earlier insistence that the ceremony would be a "quiet affair".
In 2008, the couple's marriage was rocked by tabloid speculation about Ashley Cole's infidelity.
They eventually split following further claims made in tabloid newspapers.
It was alleged that Ashley had texted compromising photographs of himself to several women, while another came forward to claim she had slept with him in 2009.
