A rare tropical storm battering Hawaii has already caused power blackouts and blocked roads on one island, but no deaths have been reported.

Iselle made landfall early on Friday morning on the chain's Big Island, shortly after it was downgraded from hurricane to tropical storm.
But Hurricane Julio, a Category 3 storm with winds of more than 120mph, is about 1,000 miles (1,609km) away.
Hawaiian officials have urged residents to stock up on emergency supplies.
The last cyclone to hit Hawaii, Hurricane Iniki in 1992, killed six and caused $2.4bn (Â£1.4bn) in damage.
Five to eight inches of rain are forecast, along with heavy winds and potential flash flooding in some parts of the state.
The storm was weakening as it hit the terrain of the eastern-most island of Hawaii, also known as the Big Island, according to Chris Brenchley, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Honolulu.
"As wind blows into the terrain, the terrain kind of redirects the wind," he said.
The state's department of emergency management has asked residents to prepare a seven-day emergency kit, including non-perishable food and water.
Hawaii's remoteness from the mainland makes it hard to get emergency supplies to the state. Stores have had to quickly restock bottled water and other supplies.
The storm has already knocked out power for more than 18,000 people on the Big Island, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Another 2,700 were without power on the island of Maui.
At least 50 flights from major airlines were canceled on Thursday and an inter-island airline cancelled all of its flights on Friday.
Rudy Cruz and Ashley Dochnahl from California told the Associated Press they had attempted to fly back early but failed to secure a flight.
"We were trying to beat it, but we now will have to ride it out," Mr Cruz said.
Big Island resident Andrew Fujimura said the waves were topping 20ft (6m) along the coast.
"I can't say I'm too worried," he said. "Worst-case scenario, the power may go out a day or two. But we're prepared for that kind of stuff out here."


The "huge discounts" offered in right-to-buy schemes have led to fraud, Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey has claimed.

The Liberal Democrat candidate told the BBC that the schemes had seen "a lot of fraud going on, even money laundering".
The Conservatives have said they would extend the right-to-buy for tenants of housing associations.
Lib Dems would try to "dissuade" the Tories from pursuing the policy if they were in coalition again, Mr Davey said.
Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government gave tenants the right to buy their council houses in the 1980s. At the moment, council house tenants in England can buy their home at a discount of up to Â£103,900.
A key pledge of the Conservatives' 2015 manifesto is the extension of right-to-buy to tenants of housing associations - private, not-for-profit bodies that provide low-cost housing.
Under current rules, about 800,000 housing association tenants have a "right to acquire" their homes under smaller discounts, but the Conservatives would offer those people the same reductions as for those in local authority homes.
And they would extend the scheme to those who currently have no purchase rights at all, estimated to be about 500,000 people, claiming it could benefit 1.3 million people in total.
The Conservatives say every house purchased will be replaced "on a one-for-one basis" with more affordable homes and no-one will be forced to leave their home. Mr Cameron said the policy was a sign that "the dream of a property-owning democracy is alive".
Mr Davey, energy secretary since 2012 in the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition, told BBC One's Sunday Politics London: "One of the reasons that we would be very strongly against it is because of the fraud we're seeing.
"It's not talked about very much but, because they're giving such huge discounts, there's a lot of fraud going on - even money laundering. And I think people need to look at this right to buy and how it's actually operating in practice.
"It's extraordinarily worrying what we're seeing in councils up and down the country, including in London."
Pressed on whether the Lib Dems would "allow" the policy if they formed another coalition with the Conservatives after the 7 May election, Mr Davey said: "It would be something we would dissuade them from, because it is extraordinarily bad for social housing.
"What we want to see is a lot more houses built."
Mr Davey is not the first person to believe that the high profits to be made are making the right to buy scheme increasingly vulnerable to exploitation.
In October 2014 an Audit Commission annual report showed a 400% increase in right-to-buy fraud in London.
In 2013 the coalition government had offered council tenants in London a Â£100,000 cash discount, "in recognition of higher property prices in the capital".
The extension of right to buy would be funded, the Conservatives say, by new rules forcing councils to sell properties ranked in the most expensive third of their type in the local area, once they become vacant, with every house purchased replaced "on a one-for-one basis".


Manchester United have completed the signing of out-of-contract striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a one-year deal.

The 34-year-old, capped 116 times by Sweden, left French champions Paris St-Germain at the end of last season.
"I am absolutely delighted to be joining Manchester United and looking forward to playing in the Premier League," he told the club's website.
Ibrahimovic is United's second signing of the summer after Villarreal defender Eric Bailly joined for £30m.
The former Barcelona and Juventus player has scored 392 goals in 677 games and won a trophy every season of his career since 2001, including 13 league titles.
Last season was his most prolific, scoring 50 goals in 51 matches, a record for PSG. His tally of 38 league goals was also a club record.
In his four seasons at the French club, he won 12 trophies, including the domestic quadruple twice. On announcing he was leaving the Ligue 1 club, he tweeted: "I came like a king, left like a legend."
Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves
He links up with his former Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic added: "I cannot wait to work with Jose Mourinho once again. He is a fantastic manager and I am ready for this new and exciting challenge.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my career so far and have some great memories. I am now ready to create more special memories in England."
Ibrahimovic quit international football after Sweden were knocked out of Euro 2016 in the group stages.
Portuguese Mourinho, who took charge after the sacking of Dutchman Louis van Gaal, said: "Zlatan needs no introduction. The statistics speak for themselves. Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world.
"He has won the most important league championships in the world of football, now he has the opportunity to play in the best league in the world and I know he will grasp this opportunity and will work hard to help the team win titles.
"I am certain that his talent will delight fans at Old Trafford next season and that his experience will be invaluable in helping to develop the younger players in the squad."


Former Tottenham and West Ham manager Harry Redknapp has joined Derby County as a football advisor.

The 69-year-old will work alongside head coach Darren Wassall until the end of the season, when a review of the club's coaching structure will occur.
In addition to his Rams role, Redknapp has agreed to help Jordan for their next two World Cup qualifiers.
Derby sacked previous head coach Paul Clement in February and appointed Wassall until the end of the season.
Redknapp, who has been out of work since leaving QPR in January 2015, told the Derby website: "From the first conversation I had with the chairman (Mel Morris) it was clear he has exciting plans for the football club.
"I am delighted to be able to help out and am looking forward to working with Darren and his team."
The Rams are fifth in the Championship, seven points adrift of an automatic promotion place.


More than 50 firefighters have been called to a fire at a hotel in Perthshire.

The Fishers Hotel in Pitlochry was evacuated shortly after 06:00. There are no reports of any injuries.
The hotel on the town's main street has over 130 rooms and can accommodate 180 people.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said the building was "well alight" and about 55 firefighters were using nine fire engines to fight the blaze.
The organisers of the Pitlochry Street Party event planned for 13:00 were forced to cancel because of disruption caused by the fire.
Two hours after the outbreak, a spokesman said: "We received the call at 6.04am and the incident is still ongoing.
"The fire in the roof of the hotel is well alight. An aerial pump has been set up and there are nine pumps in attendance and other specialised appliances."
Hotel management confirmed they had carried out a final sweep of the building and the residents are thought to have been evacuated with no injuries.
Police were called out and closed the main road through the town.
A Police Scotland spokesman said the guests were taken to the Scotland's Hotel as a temporary shelter.


Kemar Roofe netted a first hat-trick of his 25-goal season as Oxford United made light work of struggling Dagenham.

The midfielder broke the deadlock with a right-footed finish after combining with Alex MacDonald and Liam Sercombe.
He doubled the lead after the break by running on to George Waring's pass for a low finish past Liam O'Brien.
Substitute Danny Hylton hit the bar before MacDonald headed in number three and Roofe completed his treble late on for the second-placed U's.
Oxford consolidated their automatic promotion push following defeat against Leyton Orient on Saturday while Dagenham are nine points adrift of safety at the bottom with nine games remaining.


Doncaster Rovers defender Mitchell Lund has joined League Two side Morecambe on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old has made almost 40 appearances for Rovers since coming through their youth system and spent part of last season on loan at Wrexham.
Lund made four appearances during his time with the Welsh side, while he was only a bit-part player as Doncaster won promotion to League One last term.
He has become Morecambe's fifth signing of the summer.

A plan for three wind turbines looks set to be refused permission because the project has been deemed a risk to the operation of military radar.

Wind Harvest Ltd has proposed the small wind farm for land at Hill of Lychrobbie, near Dunbeath in Caithness.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has objected because the turbines could interfere with radar at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray.
Highland councillors have been asked to refuse the farm planning permission.
Planning officers at Highland Council said that, while it was recognised the renewable energy project would benefit nearby communities, the MoD's objection could not be ignored.
The officials noted that the developer had sought to resolve the problem with the MoD.
Councillors will consider the officers' recommendation that planning permission be refused at a meeting next week.
RAF Lossiemouth, which is located across the Moray Firth from Dunbeath, is a base for Typhoon and Tornado jets squadrons.


Brighton has been given its first clear glimpse of England's tallest viewing platform outside London.

The jacking frame that surrounded the slender i360 seafront structure as it was constructed has been removed.
The 162m (531ft) tower is made up of 17 tubes stacked on top of each other.
Images of the observation pod that will take people up to a height of 138m (453ft) have also been revealed by developers.
The i360 has been designed by the team behind the London Eye.
The pod, which will carry up to 200 people, is currently being constructed near Lyon, France.
Developers hope the tower will attract at least 700,000 visitors per year, making it the city's most popular paid-for attraction.
Chief executive of the Brighton i360, Eleanor Harris, said: "It is incredible to see the tower standing without the jacking tower.
"Now you get a real sense of why the i360 is the slimmest tall tower ever built in the world; it is a real marvel of engineering."


A family who were evacuated from their home when a sinkhole opened up outside have finally returned 14 months later.

Gemma Bagshaw, who was heavily pregnant at the time, and husband Ben have lived in a rented flat since last October.
They were among four families who had been unable to return to their homes after the the 33ft (10m) deep hole appeared in Fontmell Close, St Albans.
It will be the first time their son Finley, who was born a week after the sinkhole appeared, has been home.
The one-year-old looked on as St Albans mayor Frances Leonard cut a ribbon to mark the reopening of the cul-de-sac.
His father Ben said it will be "lovely" to be home together for Christmas.
Following the collapse in the early hours of 1 October, families in more than 50 homes were left without power, water or sanitation before temporary solutions were provided for the majority.
The Bagshaws were evacuated on the night and left the house, with heavily pregnant Mrs Bagshaw clutching her hospital bag.
Finley was born a week later and for the past year they have been renting a flat with the cost covered by their insurance.
"It was just really shocking, we were both on edge, my wife was almost ready to have her first baby and we'd suddenly just seen the road collapse around us," Mr Bagshaw said.
"The fact we've got [back] in December is going to be a real big win for us and it's going to be a lovely first Christmas at home for the new baby - it's going to be like a new house to us."
Fontmell Close is on the site of a former claypit, and mine workings have been blamed for the road's collapse.
The hole was filled with 48 lorry-loads of foamed concrete but before permanent repairs could be carried out, investigators had to ensure there was no further cause for concern.
Richard Knight from Hertsfordshire County Council said: "This probably is one of the safest roads in Hertfordshire now because we've done 40-odd bore holes to make sure what is under the road.
"We coordinated with all the utility companies to make sure everything was done properly but quickly."


John Cleese has revived his famous hotelier Basil Fawlty for a TV advert, 36 years after Fawlty Towers ended.

Cleese has recreated the 1975 scene in which a frustrated Fawlty berated his broken down car before giving it a "damn good thrashing" with a branch.
Cleese agreed to rewrite the scene for Specsavers opticians as he thought it would be "genuinely funny".
The ad sees Fawlty lose his patience with a sat-nav and take out his anger on the wrong target - a police car.
"A lot of people have sent me Fawlty Towers scripts, or Basil scripts, and they were always absolutely awful," Cleese said.
"But these people had an idea, and I have to say, I met them and they were all very nice, and within 20 minutes we'd written the script. Because it was kind of obvious. And I looked at that, and I thought, no I think that will work and it's genuinely funny."
The classic sitcom ran for just 12 episodes between 1975 and 1979. Cleese, who wrote the show with his wife and co-star Connie Booth, said they did not make more because they did not want the quality to decline.
The star is no stranger to advertising, having previously lent his name to Sainsbury's, Schweppes and The AA.
Cleese has also spoken about having to pay a large chunk of his wealth to his third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger after their divorce, even embarking on his Alimony Tour in 2011.


Nick Powell's first-half goal earned Wigan Athletic a winning start to their League One campaign with a 1-0 victory at MK Dons in which both teams had a player sent off.

Powell latched onto a through-ball from Michael Jacobs shortly before half-time and tucked the ball past Dons goalkeeper Lee Nicholls for the only goal of the game.
The Latics had chances before the opener through Ivan Toney and Gavin Massey, while MK Dons midfielder Gboly Ariyibi had a free-kick go close.
George Williams was hacked down on the cusp of the break, a challenge which saw Callum Elder dismissed for the visitors but Scott Wootten's red card after the break for hauling down Jacobs evened things up.
Both sides had further chances, with Toney, Ariyibi and former Dons striker Will Grigg all involved, but there was no further score in an even contest just edged by Paul Cook's side.

Ireland's bid to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup has been boosted after the GAA opened the possibility of allowing a number of its grounds to be made available for the tournament.

The GAA's Central Council decided on Saturday to ask the organisation's annual Congress to amend its rules on the issue.
The IRFU's bid would not be possible without the support of the GAA.
Casement Park in Belfast is among six grounds earmarked for World Cup games.
The Aviva Stadium and Thomond Park are the only rugby grounds which would be suitable for a major tournament.
In addition to Croke Park and Casement Park, the other GAA grounds which would be part of the IRFU's bid are Pairc Ui Chaoimh, the Limerick Gaelic Grounds, Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney and Galway's Pearse Stadium.
The IRFU has said that significant government funding would have to be forthcoming for a bid to be considered.
However, the likelihood of the GAA making its grounds available as part of a proposed bid increases the possibility of the IRFU commissioning an official feasibility study into the project.
"The Rugby World Cup in New Zealand showed what a country of four million people could achieve in terms of attracting visitors and showcasing the potential of a country, so an overall Ireland bid is something that the government was keen to discuss with us," said IRFU chief executive Philip Browne on Saturday.
"I think everybody is aware of the benefits from both a social and economic perspective that would come from hosting the third largest sporting event on the globe.
"We are at the early stages of examining the feasibility of a bid and part of this study is to determine the interest and support of Government and other relevant bodies."


Shares in UK chip designer Imagination Technologies have plunged more than 60% after Apple said it would end a deal to use its products.

The US company uses the UK firm's chip technology in its iPhones, iPads, and iPods under a licensing agreement.
Apple's royalty payments account for about half Imagination's revenues.
Shares fell 165p to 103p, valuing the company at about £250m - down from about £765m before the announcement was made on Monday morning.
Imagination said Apple, its largest customer, would stop using its products in "15 months to two years".
Apple is developing its own technology, but Imagination said this would be difficult without infringing patents.
Apple has told Imagination that it is "working on a separate, independent graphics design in order to control its products and will be reducing its future reliance on Imagination's technology".
Imagination, like the UK's ARM Holdings, is at the forefront of computer chip technology globally. ARM was sold last year to Japan's Softbank, a deal criticised as selling out of the UK's winners.
The Financial Times reported last year that Apple, which owns 8% of the UK company, had held talks about buying Imagination.
In its statement, Imagination questioned whether Apple would be able to develop its own computer chip designs without breaching its intellectual property rights.
The UK company said: "Apple has not presented any evidence to substantiate its assertion that it will no longer require Imagination's technology, without violating Imagination's patents, intellectual property and confidential information. This evidence has been requested by Imagination but Apple has declined to provide it.
"Further, Imagination believes that it would be extremely challenging to design a brand new GPU architecture from basics without infringing its intellectual property rights, accordingly Imagination does not accept Apple's assertions."
Imagination said in its latest annual report that it has other licensing deals with customers, but described the Apple contract as "essential".
Last year, Apple paid about £60.7m in royalties to Imagination and it is forecast to pay about £65m for the current financial year.
Apple's decision to go it alone with the graphics chip technology inside its devices could help the tech giant cut costs and better set the pace of innovation. But doing so risks a legal clash with its former ally, Imagination.
Doesn't Apple already make its own chips?
Apple does indeed design the A10 chip in the iPhone 7, and has developed A-series chips dating back to the original iPad.
But these "system-on-chips" are made up of different components, one of which is a graphics processing unit (GPU). Until now, these GPUs parts have always been customised versions of Imagination's PowerVR designs.
Apple tweaks Imagination's designs to maximise the battery life and performance of its devices.
Why may Apple have an issue with using Imagination's tech?
While Apple has made impressive year-on-year gains with the A-series chips' central processing unit (CPU), improvements to the GPU have been more mixed.
Most recently, Apple has said the GPU in the A10 is twice as fast as the previous generation, but tests show it can only maintain this peak performance for a relatively short amount of time before risking overheating.
That means it has to be throttled back. As a result, testers have given a higher rating to rival GPU tech made by Qualcomm.
What's the difference between a CPU and a GPU?
In basic terms, a CPU calculates a single sets of instructions more quickly (or two sets of instructions simultaneously if a dual-core chip is involved), while GPUs specialise in carrying out many calculations at the same time.
This makes GPUs better suited for "parallelisable" tasks - jobs that can be broken down into several parts and run simultaneously because the outcome of any one calculation does not determine the input of another. As the name suggests, powering graphics is one example, but others include speech recognition and pattern matching.
Shouldn't Imagination have expected Apple to go it alone?
Although Apple already designs its CPUs, it bases them on designs from another UK chip architecture specialist, ARM, to whom it pays licence fees.
Imagination has said it doubts Apple can design mobile GPUs in-house without violating its PowerVR patents and other intellectual property.
Apple is not just Imagination's biggest customer, it also owns a stake in the business and had been in discussions to take it over completely at one point.
Apple has, however, hired several former Imagination workers including the former chief operating officer and hardware engineering boss.
According to AppleInsider, at least 25 engineers and managers have quit Imagination and gone on to work at Apple over the past two years.
So even if the current relationship between the two firms is set to end, Apple may still face having to pay Imagination for some time to come to avoid a legal battle.


Interest rates are likely to remain historically low over the longer term, the head of the US central bank said on Wednesday.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said the bank was looking to normalise its policies, neither boosting or limiting economic activity.
But a key bank interest rate would not have to rise "all that much further" to reach that neutral level, she said.
She also said she expected further increases over the next few years.
Ms Yellen was reporting to members of Congress about bank policy and the economic outlook.
Janet Yellen testimony: Six takeaways
How can inflation be good for you?
The US jobs market has strengthened and inflation is expected to rise toward the Federal reserve's 2% target, she said. The global economy has also improved, although economic challenges remain, she added.
She said the Fed was committed to relying primarily on interest rates as its key policy tool and noted that many of her colleagues thought one further rate increase would be warranted this year.
But interest rates - which increase the cost of borrowing for individuals and businesses - are unlikely to rise to levels that were once common, she said.
"The Committee continues to anticipate that the longer-run neutral level of the federal funds rate is likely to remain below levels that prevailed in previous decades," she said in prepared remarks to Congress on Wednesday.
The Federal Reserve has pursued gradual interest rate increases in recent years, after lowering them to boost economic activity amid the financial crisis.
US stocks rose after Ms Yellen's testimony was published - with the exception of those in the financial sector, which typically benefit from higher interest rates.


Kent head coach Matt Walker says James Tredwell is "very committed" to the county despite handing in 28 days' notice to talk to other clubs.

Tredwell, who is out of contract in October, was reportedly frustrated about a lack of playing time.
The 35-year-old former England spinner has played six first-class games for the Division Two county this season.
"As far as James is concerned, he's pretty happy and wants to be at Kent," Walker told BBC Radio Kent.
"He's put his 28 days' in, which is fine with a player out of contract, that's not unusual."
Former captain Tredwell has spent his entire career with Kent, apart from a one-month loan spell with Sussex in 2014.


A man has been arrested in Brazil after trying to put out the Olympic flame by throwing a bucket of water over it.

The 27-year-old later told police the act had been a "dare", police said.
Video footage showed a spray of water being thrown over the group carrying the torch in Maracaju in central Brazil.
The torch relay will cover 20,000km (12,400 mile) and 300 Brazilian cities before the flame arrives in Rio de Janeiro for the Games opening ceremony.
The incident comes a week after a rare jaguar was shot and killed after being used in an Olympic torch ceremony.


A woman is in a critical but stable condition in hospital after being hit following a crash involving three riders at the North West 200 motorcycle event.

Organisers said the "serious incident" happened on the section of the course between York Corner and Mill Road Roundabout.
In a statement, they said riders Dean Harrison, Stephen Thompson and Horst Saiger were involved in the accident. Dean Harrison was unhurt.
The woman was a spectator at the event.
She was taken to hospital by helicopter.
The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust described the woman's condition as critical but stable.
Mervyn Whyte, NW200 race director, said the two riders, Thompson and Saiger, were conscious when they were transferred to hospital in Coleraine.
A spokesperson for the event said Thompson has now been transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital where he is being treated for his injuries, while Saiger is believed to have only minor injuries and remains in Coleraine.
The crash happened during the opening Superstock race on Saturday.


"Physical and sexual abuse on an industrial scale" went "unchecked for decades" at children's homes in a south London borough, a victims' report says.

The report detailing claims by 600 people will go before the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
At a preliminary hearing earlier, the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association was given "core participant status".
Its leader Raymond Stevenson said child abuse in the Lambeth Council-run homes had been a "reversal to the dark ages".
The abuse had resulted in the "shedding of thousands of tears", he said, and called it a "shame on the establishment" and "institutionalised evil".
The Shirley Oaks survivors accused the police of failing to deal with the allegations adequately, resulting in a cover up.
It is alleged two convicted children's homes abusers were volunteer police officers.
The group said it might request several barristers and solicitors to reflect the number of complainants it was representing, the High Court heard.
It plans to make a formal presentation to the wide-ranging inquiry chaired by Justice Lowell Goddard, along with providing video evidence from members.
The counsel to the inquiry, Ben Emmerson QC, told the hearing, at Royal Courts of Justice, the investigation would be "extremely complex... spanning many years and many institutions in Lambeth".
It is one of 13 initial inquiries announced, including investigations into abuse within the Church, allegations against the late peer Lord Janner, abuse at children's homes in Rochdale and claims of a Westminster paedophile ring.
Mr Emmerson said in the case of Lambeth, there had been claims that a former Labour minister, Lord Paul Boateng, had been named as an associate of one abuser, John Carroll, who was convicted in 1966 and 1999 of multiple charges.
The BBC's Newsnight programme recently presented information suggesting that Lord Boateng visited the Angell Road children's home, run by Mr Carroll, signing a visitors' book.
It also claimed someone identifying himself as Lord Boateng asked if he could help to resolve a row which followed Carroll's application to foster children.
Mr Emmerson said no evidence received by the inquiry so far suggested any impropriety on Lord Boateng's behalf. The peer denies knowing Mr Carroll.
A key aspect of the inquiry will be whether an organised paedophile ring infiltrated both the children's homes at Shirley Oaks, and Lambeth Council's social services.
Mr Emmerson said there was evidence a second paedophile lived at Mr Carroll's Angell Road home, when he was running it, and that a third paedophile, Leslie Paul, was employed in children's services at the same time.
Paul was convicted in December of what a jury heard was "vile group sexual abuse".
The Lambeth inquiry will examine the actions of police, prosecutors and the Department of Health, and assess a number of past inquiries into the allegations.
The inquiry is considering to what extent hearings should be televised.


Edinburgh University is to receive funding from the UK government to develop cyber security research.

It is the only Scottish university to become a government-approved centre of excellence.
It will specialise in developing the latest cyber security techniques.
Cabinet Office Minister Ben Gummer said the research at Edinburgh and other centres, worth Â£1.9bn, would help the country develop the skills to tackle a growing threat.
Mr Gummer, said: "This government is determined to make the UK the safest place in the world to live, work and do business online.
"That is why we need truly ground-breaking research to stay one step ahead of the growing threat of cyber attacks. I am pleased to announce the University of Edinburgh as the latest academic institution to contribute their expertise to this vital field, joining 13 other universities from around the country.
"By engaging with business, industry and academia, we will ensure that we develop the skills and research we need to tackle this growing threat to the UK."
Chris Ensor, deputy director for cyber security skills and growth at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), said: "It's fantastic to see so many leading universities committed to trailblazing improvements to the UK's cyber security research, and it is particularly good to see Scotland represented for the first time."
He added: "At the NCSC, we are absolutely committed to maintaining and improving our already strong reputation as a global leader in cutting-edge research, and look forward to collaborating with these establishments to make the UK the safest place to live and work online.
"These universities conduct world-class cyber security research and this initiative will improve the way academics, government and business work together - benefiting the whole of the country."
Prof David Aspinall, of Edinburgh University's school of informatics, said: "Cyber security and privacy is now an essential aspect of modern life which impacts the technology we see and use, as well as the behind-the-scenes technology we rely on that supports the physical and virtual infrastructures.

Cafodd Paul Davies, yr Aelod Cynulliad Ceidwadol dros Preseli, Sir Benfro, y cyfle i lunio deddf newydd ar awtistiaeth ar ôl iddo ennill pleidlais yn y Senedd fis Mawrth.
Pwrpas y ddeddfwriaeth yw cynnig mwy o gefnogaeth i bobl sy'n byw gyda'r cyflwr.
Mae'r mesur yn anelu at gyflwyno strategaeth ar gyfer diwallu anghenion plant ac oedolion yng Nghymru, a sicrhau bod cynghorau a byrddau iechyd yn deall ac yn cymryd y camau angenrheidiol er mwyn i blant ac oedolion dderbyn y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt.
Bydd pleidlais ar y Ddeddf Awtistiaeth yng Nghymru yn mynd ger bron aelodau'r cynulliad ddydd Mercher.
Mabwysiadodd Cymru strategaeth awtistiaeth yn 2008 ac yn ddiweddar cafodd y strategaeth ei diweddaru i gynnwys targed amser aros penodol.
Yr argymhelliad yw na fydd yn rhaid i blant ag awtistiaeth aros mwy na 26 wythnos cyn cael yr apwyntiad arbenigol cyntaf.
Mae'r cynllun presennol ond yn para tan 2020.
"Be mae fy mil i'n ei wneud," medd Paul Davies, "yw sicrhau bod y gwasanaethau yma yn fwy parhaol ynghyd â gosod sylfaen statudol i'r gwasanaethau."
Er hynny, mae Steve Thomas, prif weithredwr Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, wedi dweud wrth raglen Eye on Wales, BBC Radio Wales nad yw'n siwr bod angen deddfwriaeth o'r fath.
Meddai: "A ydy Cymru o dan anfantais i beidio â chael Deddf Awtistiaeth fel Lloegr? Dwi ddim yn gwybod i fod yn onest. Mae peth o'r gwaith sy'n digwydd yn y maes yng Nghymru yn arloesol."
"Rhaid sicrhau nad yw'r broses o ddeddfu yn amharu ar y gwaith sy'n digwydd ar hyn o bryd."
Cafodd ymgais flaenorol gan y Ceidwadwyr i gael Llywodraeth Cymru i ymrwymo i ddeddfwriaeth ar awtistiaeth ei threchu yn y Senedd fis Hydref.
Ond mae Paul Davies yn hyderus y bydd ei ymgais yn llwyddo: "Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd y mesur yn digwydd. Yr oll dwi'n gofyn ar y funud yw bo fi'n cael amser bant i gyflwyno'r bil - bydd angen ymgynghori yn eang."
Dywedodd Llywodraeth Cymru ei bod wedi ei hymrwymo i wella cefnogaeth i bobol gydag awtistiaeth wrth i £13m gael ei wario ar Wasanaeth Awtistiaeth Integredig Cenedlaethol yn ystod y pedair blynedd nesaf.
Ychwanegodd llefarydd bod yna eisoes "bolisïau a deddfau i gefnogi pomilag awtistiaeth" ond y byddid yn cadw golwg ar y sefyllfa a phetai angen byddai deddfwriaeth yn cael ei chyflwyno.


A hat-trick from Bayern Munich's Xherdan Shaqiri saw Switzerland beat Honduras to set up a tie with Argentina in the last 16 of the 2014 World Cup.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Swiss took an early lead as Shaqiri scored with a fine 25-yard strike, before he twice converted Josip Drmic passes to make it 3-0.
Jerry Bengtson had the best chance for Honduras but his shot was cleared off the line by defender Ricardo Rodriguez.
Honduras finished bottom of Group E with three defeats from three matches.
And their 54-year-old coach Luis Fernando Suarez resigned after the defeat by the Swiss, saying change was "necessary for the benefit of the Honduran team".
Shaqiri, who can play on the left wing or through the middle, was the difference between the sides with his first World Cup goals.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Liverpool and Manchester United reported to be interested in signing him, and impressed with his clinical finishing.
Switzerland, ranked sixth in the world and the top-seeded team in the group, began the day in third, but needed to win and hope Ecuador failed to beat France.
With the South Americans only managing to draw 0-0 in Rio, that left an opportunity for Ottmar Hitzfeld's team to move into the last 16 for the third time in six tournaments.
After losing 5-2 to France in their last match, Switzerland produced a better performance in Manaus and went ahead with Shaqiri's sixth-minute opener.
Three Honduras defenders backed off as he cut in from the right, allowing him space to curl an effort past Noel Valladares.
The game looked to be over after 30 minutes when poor defending from Honduras allowed Drmic to collect Gokhan Inler's ball from defence and square it for an unmarked Shaqiri, who converted calmly.
From then on, Switzerland's hopes were resting on events at the Maracana, but Ecuador's failure to match their result means the Swiss advance to face Argentina in the second round in Sao Paulo on Tuesday.
However, Honduras have now failed to win any of their nine World Cup matches in three separate tournaments.
"I've just seen one of the strangest games. Honduras lost but they had five or six golden chances. I'm not talking about half-chances, these were proper chances. How did they not score?"
The tough-tackling Central American side struggled on a pitch that was cutting up even inside the opening 10 minutes at Arena Amazonia on a night when humidity was measured at 88%.
Wigan's Juan Carlos Garcia dragged a shot wide and Brayan Beckeles also missed when well placed in the Hondurans' only notable efforts of the opening 45 minutes.
But they produced a greater threat after the break and Bengtson was unlucky as he took the ball around goalkeeper Diego Benaglio, only to shoot against Rodriguez.
Suarez's side were then denied a penalty when substitute Jerry Palacios was bundled over by Johan Djourou, and any faint hopes they may have had ended when Shaqiri scored his third in the 71st minute.
He collected another Drmic pass and finished past Valladares to complete his treble and set up a match against Lionel Messi and Argentina.
Honduras coach Luis Fernando Suarez, who announced he had resigned, said: "I am not satisfied by what we achieved at the World Cup.
"The team will have good results in the future, but someone can replace me. I am sad I didn't manage to fulfil the mission they entrusted me with.
"I'm going to go on with my career. I still have a lot of will to work and do things for soccer. I will be always be connected and listening to news about Honduras and always try to help them."
Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said: "Not only did we play a strong team but we played against the weather.
"The players showed the right attitude and will and we surpassed ourselves. Passion comes from suffering and we really suffered.
"Whenever you reach the second round it is a great motivation and we are highly motivated. We are going to write history.
"We do have a chance, even against Argentina. It is going to be a match where we have nothing to lose."
Switzerland striker Xherdan Shaqiri: "I wanted to show we could play soccer and that's what we did. I played very well and I'm happy about that and proud of the team."


Benin have been preparing to host Equatorial Guinea in an 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Sunday despite being banned from global football.

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has told BBC Sport that no decision has yet been made on whether to cancel the Group C match.
The Fifa Congress gave its Council the power to readmit Benin.
The suspension can be lifted when a new  Benin Football Federation (FBF) Executive Committee has been installed.
Fifa suspended the FBF from global football after a court ruling in the country blocked upcoming elections.
Benin's minister of sport Oswald Homeky said: "We are still in discussions with the protagonists of the crisis in the football federation. We remain hopeful."
A Squirrels squad is in Cotonou training for the match while the already eliminated Equatorial Guinea cancelled a friendly against Uzbekistan in Tashkent on Thursday, because of the qualifier.
The Equatorial Guinea Football Federation say they are hopeful that they can re-organise the friendly against Uzbekistan as soon as possible.
If there is no word from Fifa then Benin will be disqualified from the Nations Cup campaign.
"If by the date of their game they are still banned they will be logically eliminated," Caf explained.
Fifa say they are following the situation in Benin.
"We are monitoring the situation. While there seems to be some progress, we can't anticipate any outcome," world football's governing body told BBC Sport.
Benin are currently the best second-placed side in the competition with eight points.
They are two points behind Mali who play South Sudan on Saturday in the other match in the group.


Sports minister Carál Ní Chuilín has decided to send three civil servants to take control of Sport NI.

She has also decided to appoint a number of civil servants to the board of the organisation.
In effect, the arms-length body is now under hands-on control by the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) after a troubled few months.
Ms Ní Chuilín met the Sport NI board on Wednesday and said allegations about its leadership were "deeply troubling".
Nine of the organisation's 14 board members resigned on Monday, but they have yet to explain why they stood down.
Concerns have been raised about working practices within Sport NI, and at least 10 employees have made complaints.
The minister said it had been important to "act swiftly and decisively" after being made aware of the issues last week.
She added that she was introducing measures to "address the concerns raised and to reassure me" that the organisation is fit for purpose.
The chairman of Sport NI's board welcomed the minister's intervention.
Brian Henning said the board needed help, and he did not feel the appointment of senior civil servants to top positions undermined the board.
Mr Henning will remain as board chairman.
An interim executive leadership team has been appointed to take on the day-to-day running of Sport NI.
It will be headed by senior civil servant Arthur Scott, currently the director of culture at DCAL, who will act as a temporary chief executive.
An internal audit investigation shed light on issues surrounding the leadership of Sport NI.
Ms Ní Chuilín has instructed the civil servants she has sent in to implement its recommendations.
They include carrying out a confidential employee survey and a full audit of Sport NI's working culture to determine whether the allegations have a basis.
It will also begin a full review of grievances and appeals that are currently ongoing.
The minister said: "All of these actions are necessary to support Sport NI through a challenging period of change and to provide all staff with the reassurance that we have taken their views and concerns seriously."


Gonzalo Higuain scored his 32nd goal of the season but was then sent off as Napoli lost 3-1 at Udinese to stay six points behind Serie A leaders Juventus.

The Napoli striker appeared to push the referee and clashed with team-mates after a second booking on 75 minutes.
The league's leading scorer earlier drove home a fierce shot to cancel out a Bruno Fernandes penalty.
Fernandes saw a second penalty saved but made it 2-1 before Cyril Thereau added Udinese's third after the break.
Napoli also saw coach Maurizio Sarri sent from the dug-out in the first half as their hopes of a first league title since 1990 suffered a major blow following Juventus' 3-1 win over Empoli on Saturday.
Sarri was dismissed for protesting at the second penalty award, while Argentina international Higuain, 28, was booked twice in the space of 15 minutes.
The second followed an innocuous-looking foul on Felipe and provoked an angry response from Higuain, who had to be restrained by team-mates as he looked to remonstrate with Udinese players.
The defeat was Napoli's first in the league since losing to Juventus six matches ago.
Sarri said: "We can't take anything away from Udinese, they played great while we just never got to play at our usual level.
"The defeat will make us angry for a day or so, but it will also give us enough fuel for the next seven games."


A child who died in a skiing accident in France fell from a height sufficient to account for his death, an inquest in Newport has heard.

Carwyn Scott-Howell, seven, from Talybont-on-Usk, Powys, died while on a family holiday in the French Alps earlier this month.
The inquest heard his body was found on a ledge in the resort of Flaine after being separated from his family.
Gwent deputy coroner Wendy James adjourned the inquest until 22 June.


Poor diabetes care in England is leading to avoidable deaths, record rates of complications and huge costs to the NHS, a charity is warning.

Diabetes UK says the disease is the fastest growing health threat of our times and current care models are not working to get on top of the problem.
The NHS spends a tenth of its budget on diabetes, but most goes on managing complications not preventing them.
The government says it is focusing on early intervention.
Diabetes is a chronic condition and, if poorly managed, can lead to devastating complications, including blindness, amputations, kidney failure, stroke and early death.
Best-practice guidelines say patients should get regular checks to ensure they are controlling their condition well enough to avoid future complications.
But official audits of NHS care in England show many patients do not receive these checks.
Diabetes UK's own annual snapshot says there has been very little overall improvement in diabetes provision in the past year and that some aspects of care have got worse - such as fewer people with type 1 diabetes receiving an annual check-up.
It says just 41% of people with type 1 diabetes - which must be treated with insulin - receive all the annual checks recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, and only 16% meet the three recommended treatment targets for blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure.
Young diabetes patients receive fewer vital checks than older patients. There is also wide variation depending on where you live in England.
People with diabetes living in some areas receive better care and treatment than people living in other areas, says the charity.
There are two main types: type 1 and type 2
Barbara Young, Diabetes UK chief executive, said: "This is not a question of spending more money. In fact, better ongoing standards of care will save money and reduce pressure on NHS resources.
"It's about people getting the checks they need at their GP surgery and giving people the support and education they need to be able to manage their own condition. Doing this, together with improving diabetes care in hospital, would give people with diabetes a better chance of a long and healthy life, and save the NHS a significant amount of money. We want to work with local authorities to be able to help them put good practice into place."
Prof Kevin Fenton, from Public Health England, said free health checks were available to help spot and manage diabetes. He said disease prevention programmes were also under way.
"PHE and NHS England are developing a nationwide type 2 diabetes prevention programme which will support those most at risk to make essential lifestyle changes - such as losing weight, improving their diet and being more active.
"We need to help people take early action to reduce their risk of developing this serious condition."
Diabetes is currently estimated to cost the UK Â£23.7bn. With diabetes becoming more common, this figure is set to rise to Â£40bn by 2035-36.


A boy who tweeted bomb hoaxes to US airlines and launched cyber attacks has been spared a jail term.

The 16-year-old from Plymouth, who can not be named for legal reasons, admitted three offences relating to cyber attacks on SeaWorld in Florida and Devon and Cornwall Police.
He had denied two charges of sending bomb hoaxes in 2015 but was found guilty in July.
He was given a two year rehabilitation order at Plymouth Youth Court.

District Judge Diana Baker said the teenager knew what he was doing in the persistent cyber attacks and she had been minded to jail him for 12 months.
However she concluded a detention sentence would "destroy him" and imposed the rehabilitation order with conditions, including 120 hours of reparation projects with the youth offending team.
"I think you got carried away, you thought you were cool and clever", she said.
Judge Baker told the court the boy had put his family through hell, adding she thought it was unhealthy for someone his age to spend so much time on his own with his laptop in his bedroom.
She said he could not have his computer back or any associated items.


The E. coli bacteria has been detected in a kitchen at  Craigavon Area Hospital in County Armagh, the Southern Health Trust has confirmed.

The trust said E.coli 0157 has been detected during routine sampling at the main kitchen at the hospital.
"No patients, staff or members of the public have shown symptoms of being affected by this bacteria," it said.
"We currently have stringent food safety measures in place and are liaising with all relevant agencies."
DUP assembly member Sydney Anderson said the news would cause concern among patients and staff.
"However, it demonstrates that the routine checks carried out in the kitchens are necessary and are capable of identifying the presence of this bacteria without anyone displaying symptoms of infection," he added.


A lone Argentine mountaineer has been rescued, four days after she was trapped on Canada's highest peak after avalanches triggered by an earthquake.

Natalia Martínez, 37, had faced -20C (-4F) temperatures and winds of up to 140km/h (85mph) on Mt Logan. The rescue operation lasted three hours.
"Natalia is back with us safe and sound," the expedition website said.
Martínez had been in touch with her partner Camilo Rada, describing "crazy" intense winds and heavy snow.
Mountain pilot Tom Bradley, who dropped her off last month to begin the ascent, had earlier told the BBC the ordeal had been "a real rollercoaster for her".
The strong winds had made it impossible for her to light her stove to cook food or melt snow to drink, said Mr Bradley, Chief Pilot at Icefield Discovery Tours.
"She was getting pretty weak over the last couple of days," he said.
She had been "feeling a little down on it" on Thursday morning, but had been able to make a hot meal later in the day, which had helped her recover some strength and boosted her spirits, he said.
Mr Rada, also an experienced mountaineer, had been in contact by satellite phone and text. According to earlier reports from her team, she had become increasingly tired, after having to leave her tent every few hours to shovel snow piled around her camp.
"The rescue team (sic) was launched around 7:30pm local time, heading for a successful operation that ended at 22:30 pm, with Natalia showing again her beautiful smile at the Icefield Discovery base in Kluane Lake!!! Well done Nati!!!! YOU MADE IT!!!!," the update on the expedition website said.
Ms Martínez started a solo ascent of the 5,959m (19,551 ft) peak last month.
The magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck the western Yukon territory early on Monday. A few hours later, another tremor, of magnitude 6.3, hit.
For Ms Martinez, it felt as if "the mountain was falling apart," Mr Rada was quoted by CBC News as saying.
"She felt that all the ground under her camp subsided and moved a lot, and of course she was very scared," he said.
She then moved her camp to a safer area, Mr Rada said.
The Argentine was described as an experienced climber, who had been on Mt Logan before and faced extreme conditions in Patagonia.
An average of 25 climbers try to reach the summit of Mt Logan every year.


At least 84 people have been killed, including more than 10 children, after a lorry slammed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city of Nice.

The driver ploughed on for 2km (1.2 miles) on the Promenade des Anglais at about 23:00 local time on Thursday, before being shot dead by police.
Witnesses say the lorry swerved in an apparent attempt to hit more people.
Guns and a grenade found inside the lorry were reported to be fakes.
President Francois Hollande, who is in Nice, said the attack was of "an undeniable terrorist nature".
He said the battle against terrorism would be long as France faced "an enemy who will continue to hit countries who see liberty as their essential value".
A state of emergency, in place since November's Paris attacks carried out by militants from the so-called Islamic State group, in which 130 people died, has been extended by three months.
Warning: This story contains images some people may find distressing
The attack in Nice began shortly after the end of a firework display on the seafront for Bastille Day, which is the country's national holiday.
"I heard lots of screams and everybody was running in different directions. I didn't know what was going on, it felt surreal and I didn't move but thought it must be some kind of practical joke.
"Then I saw the truck coming straight at me swerving all over the place. It was perhaps 50 yards away. After that there was no conscious thought, my body took over, time slowed down and I ran and thank God I got out of the way," said Pouya, from Toronto.
Nader el-Shafei told the BBC he saw the driver face-to-face for about a minute: "He was very nervousâ€¦ looking for something around him, I kept yelling at him and waving my hands to stop... he picked up his gun and started to shoot police."
Afterwards he said he ran towards the beach with others, fearing the driver, who was then shot by police, would detonate the lorry.
Tourists and residents of Nice were among those who died. Two American citizens, a Ukrainian, a Russian and a Swiss woman are among the 84 victims.
Mr Hollande said 50 injured people were in a critical condition "between life and death". Many of the victims were foreigners, he said.
Fondation Lenval, the children's hospital in Nice, says it has treated some 50 children and adolescents, including two who died during or after surgery.
Some 30,000 people were on the Promenade des Anglais at the time of the attack, officials said.
This is not the first time in recent years that someone has deliberately driven a truck into pedestrians on a French street. But the scale, speed and death toll from this apparent attack are unprecedented.
It follows an earlier call by so-called Islamic State (IS) spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani for IS followers to do exactly what this truck driver did. This, and other calls for attacks in Europe, are partly in response to the significant losses being experienced by IS to the shrinking territory it controls in Syria and Iraq.
US-led airstrikes, including by French warplanes, are taking a particularly heavy toll there. At home, France has become the number one target of opportunity for IS and its supporters, unperturbed by the national state of emergency that has just been extended.
No group has so far said it was behind the attack.
The identity papers of a 31-year-old French-Tunisian were found in the lorry, which was reportedly rented out two days earlier in the suburb of Saint-Laurent-du-Var.
The man has been named by local media as Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, although not by police.
Tunisian security sources said he was married with three children and came from the Tunisian town of Msaken. He visited Tunisia frequently, the last time eight months ago.
He reportedly lived on the Route de Turin in Nice and had been in trouble with the police in the past for petty crime, but he was not on the watch list of radicalised young men.
Residents of his apartment building said he was a loner who did not respond when they said hello.


Three people have been killed in a rocket attack on a UN peacekeepers' base in northern Mali, the UN says.

Two UN peacekeepers from Guinea and a civilian contractor were killed in the attack in Kidal, officials said.
Eight days ago, gunmen attacked a hotel in the capital, Bamako, taking scores hostage. Twenty-two people were killed.
The peacekeeping mission in Mali was approved in 2014 after France led a military campaign to drive out Islamist militants from the north.
The Minusma force comprises some 10,000 soldiers from dozens of different contributor countries - the majority from Mali's west African neighbours.
World's most dangerous peacekeeping mission
The UN mission - criticised by some at the time of its approval because there is no peace deal to support - has suffered more casualties than any other in recent years, with 56 troops killed.
Islamist militants are suspected of being behind Saturday's attack, in which 14 people were injured, several seriously, reports suggest.
"Our camp in Kidal was attacked early this morning by terrorists using rockets," said an official from the Minusma force.
Militancy in Mali


Patrick Reed takes a one-shot lead into the final round of the Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina after a five-under-par 67 on Saturday.

The American, chasing a sixth PGA Tour title, leads on eight under from Alex Noren of Sweden and Spain's Jon Rahm.
American world number one Dustin Johnson, playing his first event since pulling out of the Masters on the first tee with an injury, also shot a 67.
Johnson is four under and one of 18 players within four shots of the lead.
He is joined by major winners Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland and fellow American Phil Mickelson on that mark.
Reed, who saw a 30-foot eagle putt on the last hit the edge of the hole and spin out, said: "It was the calmest of the three days, the scores are a lot lower and it seemed easier out there."
Italy's Francesco Molinari, who began round three with a one-shot lead after completing his second round on Saturday morning, hit a second successive level-par 72 to remain on six under.


In a sparsely furnished, single-room flat in Togliatti, Natalia Sizova counts the hours until she sees her five-year-old son again.

Six months ago she had so little food she decided he should go and live in a care centre across town.
Natalia is one of 2,000 people in this city, 1,000km (620 miles) east of Moscow, who work for car-parts maker AvtoVAZagregat. Their salaries have not been paid for months.
Togliatti is not alone. Hundreds of Russian companies, big and small, are withholding salaries.
The explanations may differ: mismanagement, bad economy or plain criminality. But for workers the end result is the same.
"Can you imagine no food at home? The child needed proper food and I just couldn't provide it," she says, holding back tears. Things were so dire she couldn't scrape together the 100 roubles (Â£1; $1.50) to cover the bus fare to see him.
Natalia has been luckier than most, finding a job at another plant which makes car seats.
Now there is food in the fridge and she is able to take her son back.
But many of her former colleagues still have next to nothing to live on and tell of financial hardship:
Togliatti is home to Russia's best-known car, Lada.
For a quarter of a century AvtoVAZagregat supplied the seats, exhausts and other components to thousands of Lada brands all over Russia.
Then in June 2015 its management stopped production after an agreement broke down with Lada's owners, VAZ.
The reason is unknown and AvtoVAZagregat's director, Victor Kozlov, did not respond to a BBC request for comment.
But, in a rare interview with local media in February, he explained that the company had been unable to agree to VAZ's demand for lower component prices.
Under Russian law, employees are entitled to two-thirds pay even if production has stopped, unless they are laid off.
After two months without salaries, AvtoVAZagregat workers complained and a criminal case against Mr Kozlov was launched. But to no effect.
Then, last autumn, Victor Kozlov and his brother Alexei, the main shareholders in AvtoVAZagregat, promised to pay all outstanding wages. Still nothing happened.
The company went bankrupt and only in March was money sent to the bailiffs managing its accounts. Half the workforce were able to get some of what they were owed.
At the end of April the governor of the local Samara region announced that another 30m of the 80m roubles owed to staff would be paid out.
Finally, on 5 May, some of that money reached Natalia Sizova and some 800 of her colleagues, from two of AvtoVAZagregat's subsidiary companies. They had gone without pay for 11 months.
The workers say that, on average, two to three months' worth of salary has been paid.
The regional prosecutor's office told the BBC that the management would be forced to pay its debts, under threat of prosecution. The case concerning non-payments would still go ahead, they said.
The closest the Togliatti workers have to a trade union is veteran colleague Antonina Larina, who collates information about the money owed by the head plant and two of its subsidiaries.
She keeps a list of regional and federal officials who have promised to find a solution. But, speaking last week, she was deeply sceptical that the regional governor, prosecutor or presidential representative could help.
Ms Larina pays a visit with colleagues to Togliatti's council leader to tackle the problem of unpaid wages, but the meeting soon becomes heated.
"Nothing is being done, what have you brought us here for?" complains one man in his 50s.
"We're doing all we can," the council leader replies.
Another worker suggests blocking the main Togliatti-Moscow highway. The council leader objects, nervously.
While the workers are keen to attract President Vladimir Putin's attention, they also understand the risk of a backlash from authorities.
For them Mr Putin is the only hope.
Last month, during the president's mammoth question-and-answer TV show, Direct line with Putin, a group of workers at a fish-processing factory in the Far East complained to the Russian leader about salaries not being paid. Their case was resolved with startling speed.
The workers of Togliatti also rang in, filled with hope. But to no avail. And even with partial payouts having started they do not expect to see all the debts settled soon.
Natalia Sizova says her child has suffered badly from being separated from his mother for six months and she dreams of filing for compensation.
But that looks like an impossible task.


Ladies Day at Royal Ascot has come around again - the third day of the world-famous racing event that is perhaps better known for its hats than its horses.

It has long been one of the biggest events in the British fashion calendar and is treated as an opportunity for thousands of women to sport hats ranging from the sublime to the, frankly, ridiculous.
BBC News takes a look at some of the more outlandish headgear designed to make headlines.


The owners of stolen cars are being sued by some police officers in Northern Ireland who were injured when chasing car thieves.

It is understood civil claims have been made against the car owners, even though they were not involved in the thefts or crashes.
The officers are claiming for injuries sustained when stopping the cars.
The owner's no-claims bonus can be affected and their car insurance premiums can increase as a result.
Bill Rooney is one of those affected. He had his car stolen from his north Belfast home last July.
He was still awake in the early hours of the morning when he heard his car being driven away from his house.
After a police chase, two men were arrested and his car was so badly damaged that it was written off.
He had arranged a new car through his insurance and believed the matter to be closed until he received an unexpected letter.
"I received a letter from a solicitor saying he was suing me for personal injuries on behalf of his client... and I later found out this client was a police officer who had been hurt when retrieving my car," he said.
"I was very angry and disheartened by the fact that a police officer was suing a victim.
"I'd already had my house broken into, I'd had my car stolen and I had had to replace it.
"I did feel sorry for the police officer if he was hurt doing his job but I felt that he should be insured in his own place of work."
Mr Rooney's case has not yet been settled and he believes the police officer is prepared to take it to court.
The BBC has been unable to discover how many claims individual police officers have pursued or how much money they have received.
In a response to a Freedom of Information request, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said they did not have a record of such claims.
"The PSNI would not hold any information in relation to police officers making a compensation claim against the owner of a stolen vehicle," they said.
"This would be a private matter between the officer and the solicitor and the information would not be recorded or required by police.
"Neither are they required to inform PSNI of their intention to pursue a claim."
Stormont's justice committee, where the matter was first raised, also requested information from the PSNI.
In a letter, Supt Ryan Henderson said victims of car crime may or may not be penalised depending on their insurer and the terms of their policy.
He said that police officers, like any individual, could decide to pursue a claim through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) if they were in a crash where the driver of the other vehicle was at fault and could not be traced or was not insured.
"When claims against the MIB are settled, the MIB can seek to recover the cost incurred from the actual party at fault, i.e. the person who stole and was driving the vehicle," he said.
"In reality this probably seldom happens as car thieves do not generally have the financial assets to repay what MIB have had to pay out in damages and costs.
"It is a matter between the person who insures the vehicle and the insurance company as to whether or not in the event of their vehicle being stolen and involved in a collision, the insurance company will treat that incident as a claim under their policy."
SDLP MLA Alban Maginness, who brought the matter to the attention of the justice committee, said two of his North Belfast constituents had received claims.
"Here are cases where victims of crime are actually penalised financially as a result of the act of criminals," he said.
"It seems to them and me to be totally unjust and quite unfair that they have to carry the burden of the criminal's actions."


George Osborne's Budget amounts to an assault on young people, the Welsh government's finance minister has said.

Jane Hutt attacked plans to scrap housing benefit for under 21 year olds, saying the young would be "hit hard".
Mr Osborne also announced a compulsory living wage of Â£7.20 an hour from next April, rising to Â£9 by 2020.
Wales Office Minister Alun Cairns said "difficult decisions" were taken "in the interests of the country" and people would see the benefit.
The chancellor stressed his commitment to a funding floor for the Welsh government's annual grant from the Treasury, more powers for Wales and road and rail improvements.
But Ms Hutt told BBC Wales some of his other measures would make young people suffer.
"Particularly worrying and bad is the assault on young people," she said.
"The fact that young people - 18 to 21-year-olds - who of course want to 'earn or learn' as he says, are going to have their housing benefit taken away from them or not be eligible for it automatically.
"I think young people are going to be hit hard by this Budget."
Mr Cairns told BBC Radio Wales the UK government was "determined to ensure those who work hard, those who play by the system, start to benefit now because it's been so tough over some recent years".
"We took some difficult decisions over the last five years - they weren't all popular," he said.
"But at the election I think people recognised that they were in the interests of the country.
"Further difficult decisions were taken yesterday, but people will start to see the benefit."


The SNP is attempting to block the UK government's bid to formally begin the process of leaving the European Union.

The House of Commons is debating the legislation that would trigger Article 50.
The SNP - which has tabled a motion that would delay the bill - and Liberal Democrats are opposed, but Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has ordered his MPs to vote with the government.
However some Labour MPs are expected to defy Mr Corbyn.
The government remains determined to trigger negotiations on the UK's withdrawal from the European Union by the end of March.
But the SNP's amendment to the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill criticises the government for failing to  consult effectively with the devolved administrations on the plans for Brexit.
It also says the government has yet to publish a White Paper detailing its policy proposals, has refused to give a guarantee on the position of EU nationals in the UK, and has provided no assurance that a future parliamentary vote will be anything other than irrelevant.
Speaking as he outlined the amendment, SNP MP Stephen Gethins said triggering Article 50 would have a major economic impact on Scotland.
He argued that the only detailed plans for Brexit had been published by the Scottish and Welsh governments.
And he said Scotland had voted to Remain and was now being taken out of the EU by a Conservative Party that just posted its worst general election result since 1865 in Scotland.
Mr Gethins said: "Passing this bill and turning your back on our amendment would turn its back on the progress made and disrespect the devolution settlement.
"I'd urge members to vote for our amendment, otherwise this is a backward and damaging step and it is an act of constitutional and economic sabotage."
Mr Gethins found an unlikely ally in former Tory Chancellor Ken Clarke, who said he would be "voting with his conscience" and backing the SNP amendment.
Mr Clarke described visions of a post-Brexit future as a "wonderland" fantasy.
He also mocked the government's hopes for free trade after leaving the single market, and claimed that "no sensible country has referendums".
The government had resisted having a vote in the Commons, but was forced to seek parliament's approval for its plans by a Supreme Court ruling last week.
Its Brexit secretary, David Davis, told the debate that MPs would not be able to vote to block Brexit, telling them the "point of no return" had already passed.
He added: "This is not a bill about whether the UK should leave the EU or indeed how it should do it.
"It is simply about parliament empowering the government to implement a decision already made, a point of no return already passed.
"We asked the people of the UK if they wanted to leave the EU. They decided they did. So at the core of this Bill lies a very simple question. Do we trust the people or not?
"We will respect the will of the people and implement their will by 31 March."
The debate is due to last two days, with the government expected to win the final vote - although the size of the rebellion by Labour MPs against their instructions to vote with the government is not yet clear.
Labour's Brexit spokesman, Sir Keir Starmer, said two thirds of Labour MPs represented constituencies that voted to leave the EU, and one third where people voted to stay in.
"This is obviously a difficult decision," he said.
"I wish the result had gone the other way. I campaigned passionately for that. But as democrats our party has to accept that result and it follows that the prime minister should not be blocked from starting the Article 50 negotiations."


The former president of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, has been granted refugee status in the UK, according to his lawyer.

Nasheed, the opposition leader, was controversially jailed for 13 years under anti-terror laws last year.
He was allowed to travel to the UK to receive treatment on his spine.
His lawyer Hasan Latheef said Nasheed had been granted political refugee status, but the British government has not commented.
A former human rights campaigner, Nasheed became the nation's first democratically elected leader in 2008, ending three decades of rule by former strongman Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.
Why did the Maldives release its most famous prisoner?
In 2012, he was detained after being accused of ordering the arrest of a judge. He resigned months later amid an army mutiny and public protests over the judge's fate.
Nasheed alleged that he had been removed by a coup, but this was denied by his vice-president, who replaced him.
The current President, Abdulla Yameen, was elected in controversial polls in 2013 and is the half-brother of Mr Gayoom.
"Given the slide towards authoritarianism in the Maldives, myself and other opposition politicians feel we have no choice but to work in exile - for now," said a statement issued by Nasheed's office on Monday.
The Maldives foreign ministry said it feared Nasheed had used the request for medical treatment as a way to get out of his prison term.
It said the government was awaiting confirmation asylum had been granted. If confirmed, the Maldives government "would be disappointed the UK government is allowing itself to be part of this charade, and further, is enabling an individual to circumvent his obligations under the law", the statement said.


Two former executives of Brazilian construction giant OAS have been sentenced to 16 years in jail for corruption.

Judge Sergio Moro in Brazil said former OAS president Jose Aldemario Pinheiro and Agenor Medeiros were involved in a major corruption scandal at the state-owned oil company, Petrobras.
Three other former OAS employees have been sentenced to shorter jail terms.
The scandal broke last year, implicating senior politicians.
Pinheiro and Medeiros were found guilty of bribing government officials, money laundering and conspiracy to commit crimes.
OAS lawyer Edward Carvalho says the company will appeal on behalf of its former employees, O Globo newspaper reported.
Investigators say more than a dozen building companies have paid bribes to corrupt officials and politicians in order to secure lucrative contracts with Petrobras.
Judge Moro said OAS should have come forward when the first allegations emerged last year to explain its involvement.
However, he said, "when corruption is systemic, paying bribes become routine and that is seen as part of the game".
Several other businessmen and politicians have been arrested, charged and sentenced over the past year.
Last week, a judge in the southern state of Parana ordered the arrest of Jose Dirceu, one of the founders of the governing Workers Party.
He served as chief of staff during the government of former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva between 2003 and 2005.
Jose Dirceu, who was already under house arrest for alleged involvement in another corruption scheme, denies the charges.
He is the most senior member of the Worker's Party to be arrested for alleged links with the Petrobras scandal.
President Dilma Rousseff was president of Petrobras when most of the corruption is alleged to have taken place, but she has not been implicated.


Aberdeen say it is "very regrettable" their Scottish League Cup semi-final with Greenock Morton has been given a lunchtime kick-off.

The Dons face Championship Morton at the national stadium in Glasgow on Saturday 22 October.
And the Premiership club believe their support will be at a "major disadvantage" because of the near 150-mile distance and the 12:15 start.
The other Hampden semi-final, Rangers v Celtic, is at 14:15 on 23 October.
In previous seasons, a number of League Cup semi-finals have been played in Edinburgh, with both Hibernian's Easter Road and Hearts' Tynecastle hosting the ties.
Bus journeys from Aberdeen to Glasgow can take up to three hours.
In a statement on the club website, Aberdeen said: "Our stated preference was that the game took place at a more reasonable time on the Saturday at a venue that would ensure a capacity attendance.
"It is from an attendance perspective very regrettable that the game kicks off at 12.15pm, which is a major disadvantage to our fantastic travelling support in particular for games such as these.
"Regarding the choice of venue we understand and accept that it is for all clubs to indicate the crowd they anticipate taking and Hampden Park was chosen on this basis.
"We accept that the majority of our supporters would have had to travel for at least a couple of hours to attend this fixture at any suitable venue, but are disappointed as we feel that this outcome has a very negative impact on what should be a great day out and experience for all supporters."


Call the Midwife has been praised by viewers for tacking female genital mutilation (FGM) in its latest episode.

The episode featured a pregnant Somali woman who had undergone the procedure as a child, leading her to go through a traumatic delivery.
Viewers called the programme's makers "brave" and praised the show for its "sensitive" portrayal of the subject.
More than 8.5 million tuned in to watch the episode, giving the 1960s-set drama 36% of the audience share.
"Maybe this despicable practice will be confined to history with coverage like this," the author Jan Harvey tweeted. "Well done @BBCOne brave."
Another viewer tweeted: "Seriously impressed with @BBCOne for raising the issue of #FGM."
Anti-FGM campaigner Nimco Ali, who runs the charity Daughters of Eve, was a consultant on the show.
She worked closely with the programme makers and travelled to Somaliland, where the character of Nadifa is from, to meet doctors dealing with FGM.
The programme was followed by tweets from the NHS and the NSPCC offering advice, help and support.
Writer Caitlin Moran called the episode "important TV", while Sarah Doran wrote in the Radio Times: "It's high time naysayers acknowledged #CallTheMidwife is one of UK TV's most powerful dramas."
Earlier this month Charlene James received a Critics' Circle Theatre Award for Cuttin' It, a drama about female genital mutilation that toured the UK last year.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge must show more "bite and fight" to be a first-team regular, according to the club's former defender Mark Lawrenson.

Sturridge scored twice as the Reds beat Tottenham in the EFL Cup, four days after he was an unused substitute in the Premier League against West Brom.
"He is a class act but is not in Liverpool's best 11," said Lawrenson.
"They have Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana, it is just not possible. I think it is a bonus to have him off the bench."
Lawrenson, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, added: "He is by far and away Liverpool's best goalscorer and he can make himself a goal out of nothing.
"At the moment he doesn't start but no problem, he can come on and score goals and change a game. Why sell him? Why make another team stronger?"
Sturridge, 27, is yet to score in 348 minutes on the pitch in the Premier League this season. He has, however, created two goals and saved his goals for EFL Cup action, with four in two outings.
In four full seasons at Anfield he has hit double figures in the league twice, scoring 10 goals in 2012-13 and 21 the following season.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp acknowledged his player "could have scored three or four" in the win over Spurs but described Sturridge's all-round contribution as "brilliant".
"That's his strength, he's a finisher, a really good striker... no doubt about this," said the German manager, after his side reached the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
"I never was in doubt about him even when he didn't score. Not a question."
Sturridge was one of 11 changes from the side which beat West Brom on Saturday, taking his place in a side which featured a number of youngsters and squad players.
The England international converted from six yards to give Klopp's side the lead and raced clear to add a second having missed a series of chances.


A former City regulator, Tracey McDermott, has been appointed to a top job at the bank Standard Chartered.

She left her previous post, as the acting chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), in June 2016.
Now she will now hold the post of head of corporate, public and regulatory affairs for the bank.
Standard Chartered has its headquarters in London but has most of its operations in China, the rest of Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
The company has seen an almost complete revamp of its top management after some poor results in the past few years.
In 2014 it had to bolster its finances by raising more than $3bn from its investors.
Then in 2015 the bank slumped to a pre-tax loss of $1.5bn and slashed its dividend to shareholders.
It had to write off nearly $4bn in bad loans and spent $1.8bn on a big reorganisation of its businesses, leading to nearly 7,000 redundancies.
Bill Winters, the chief executive of Standard Chartered, said Ms McDermott would be a "great addition" to his management team.
"Tracey has played a critical role in shaping and changing behaviours in the UK financial sector," he said.
"Her strong leadership skills, together with a combined experience of bank supervision, regulation and policy development is outstanding, and she will play a critical role in further enhancing our relationships with regulators and policy makers."
Ms McDermott took over the top job at the FCA, temporarily, in September 2015 after the regulator's chief executive, Martin Wheatley, was eased out by the then chancellor George Osborne.
She soon made it clear that she would not be in the running to take the job permanently and left the FCA in June last year after a 15-year career there.
But during her time in the top job she had to defend the FCA against accusations that it was "going soft" on bank misdemeanours, after it dropped a proposed investigation into whether the culture, pay and behaviour of banking staff had contributed to numerous scandals in the banking industry.

The UK government could make changes to its strategy for leaving the EU, the Scottish Conservatives leader has said.

Ruth Davidson was speaking after a private meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May in Downing Street.
Ms Davidson, who also attended a meeting of the cabinet, said the Conservatives now had to "reach out to others" on issues such as Brexit.
She added: "I do think that there can be changes in the offer of Brexit as we go forward".
Ms Davidson has new-found clout at Westminster after her party won 13 Scottish seats in the election, and has hinted that she wants Mrs May to change course on her Brexit objectives.
A high-profile Remain campaigner ahead of the EU referendum, she wants the UK to keep the "largest amount of access" to the single market after Brexit.
She has also called for what she describes as an "open Brexit", which prioritises free trade and country's economic interests over curbing immigration.
The prime minister is attempting to secure a deal which would see Democratic Unionist Party MPs support her minority government.
Ms Davidson said she had stressed to the prime minister that the electorate had said "they want the Conservatives in government, but by denying us a majority they don't want us to govern alone".
She added: "And that means that we have to reach out to other people on some of the big issues, for example on Brexit."
Ms Davidson said there was a "clear understanding" that the prime objective for leaving the European Union was to ensure that the economy was protected.
And she insisted there was a "general consensus" that free trade should be prioritised despite Mrs May indicating that the UK will leave both the single market and the customs union.
When asked whether the UK could stay in the single market, she replied: "I think what is clear is that there is a commitment from around that cabinet table, from within the Conservative Party, to now work with others to make sure that we go after the best economic deal.
"In terms of how we reach out to others and how we take on board their ideas there is lots of work to be done.
"But I do think that there can be changes in the offer of Brexit as we go forward."
Mrs May is battling to keep her party behind her after losing her parliamentary majority just before the start of negotiations with the EU.
Chancellor Philip Hammond has also stressed the need to put the economy first in the Brexit negotiations.
But speaking ahead of her meeting with Ms Davidson, a spokesman for the prime minister said it had been made clear that the UK cannot control its borders while remaining as a single market member.
There has been speculation that Ms Davidson could use her 13 MPs to push for a "softer" Brexit than Mrs May had planned.
She said: "I think my 13 MPs are all individuals and each and every one of them will play their full part in the House of Commons.
"In Scotland we do come from a liberal tradition, we were a separate party at one time, and I would expect them to carry that tradition into the House of Commons and I look forward to their progress - I am proud of them and I want to see what they are going to do next".
Ms Davidson also stressed the need for the UK government, and the wider Conservative party, to pull together and insisted that Mrs May could remain in office for the next five years.
The Scottish Conservatives won just a single seat in Scotland in the 2015 general election - but the party's share of the vote doubled as it took a further 12 seats last week, all of which were at the expense of the SNP.
Ms Davidson's performance in leading the party to its best result in Scotland since 1983 has seen her mentioned as a possible successor to Mrs May - although she does not currently have a seat in the House of Commons.
The Scottish Conservative leader arrived at Downing Street as SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon met her party's 35 MPs outside the Houses of Parliament.
Ms Sturgeon, who is Scotland's first minister, has called for a "short pause" in the Brexit negotiations in order to secure a cross-party, UK-wide consensus on what they hope to achieve.
She also claimed that Mrs May's plans for a so-called "hard Brexit" were now "dead in the water", and questioned whether the prime minister could form a functioning government.


After Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Wales, Northern Ireland are leaving Euro 2016 with a nagging, frustrating feeling they did not make the most of what might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Having qualified for their first major finals in 30 years, they succeeded in reaching the knockout stages. That is a fine achievement for an unfancied team that was in pot five when the qualifying draw was made back in February 2014.
But the fact their elimination came at the hands of Wales will rankle. Not world champions Germany, hosts France or holders Spain, but Wales, a team one place below them in the Fifa rankings.
That it was down to an own goal from the otherwise excellent Gareth McAuley strengthens the anguish.
Once again, Northern Ireland's superb fans stayed on in the stadium, singing themselves hoarse as they had done from well before the game, and manager Michael O'Neill and his players will thank the fans for their brilliant support at a public event in Belfast on Monday.
However, they will do so disappointed that they lost three of their four matches in France.
Northern Ireland's next competitive match is on 4 September when World Cup qualifying starts with a trip to the Czech Republic. Having signed a new four-year contract, it is expected O'Neill's hand will be on the tiller.
However, having won admirers on the big stage of a major tournament, will an English club make O'Neill an offer too good to refuse?
The 46-year-old's previous managerial experience was with Brechin City and Shamrock Rovers, but his stock has risen with an enhanced reputation as an astute tactician who gets the best out of limited resources. Against Wales on Saturday, for example, his decision to play wing-backs cancelled out a lot of the opposition's attacking threat.
O'Neill said during the tournament that if a job offer came up, he would evaluate it, although he added he is happy in his role.
"Michael has rejuvenated the team, got the players onside. None of them are crying off with injuries now," said Hibernian manager Neil Lennon, a former Northern Ireland skipper.
"Northern Ireland have held their own at a major tournament and to top what Michael has done is going to be difficult."
O'Neill believes the 23 players in his squad will have benefited from the experience of being at Euro 2016.
Assuming he remains in charge, he must now ensure all his key players are on board for the World Cup qualifiers against holders Germany as well as the Czech Republic, Norway, Azerbaijan and San Marino.
During Euro 2016, he cited the example of Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho who, at 38, is the oldest outfield player at the tournament.
O'Neill said he would be using that when persuading 36-year-old defenders Gareth McAuley and Aaron Hughes to carry on for one more qualifying campaign.
Skipper Steven Davis is 31 and most of the other players are in their mid to late 20s, so O'Neill's resources appear to be healthy.
But they are in a difficult qualifying group - with only the top side certain of qualifying for Russia in 2018.
"The players have not got long to mull over what has been a fantastic time, get a break, pick themselves up and go again," added Lennon, who is at the tournament as a BBC pundit.
"Whether we can make another tournament remains to be seen.
"A lot of revenue has come in because Northern Ireland got through the group stage and that money has got to be used in the right way.
"There has to be an infrastructure in place under Michael O'Neill and Irish Football Association elite performance director Jim Magilton.
"Hopefully, the benefits will be seen in four of five years' time."
Going by recent results, it may take time for really promising players to come through and strengthen the senior team. Two young players with Irish League clubs, Linfield's Paul Smyth and Joel Cooper of Glenavon, were brought out to train with the senior squad in France, an experience which will boost their prospects.
But Northern Ireland have just one point from six qualifying matches for the European Under-21 Championship and are bottom of their group.
There were good moments to cherish from Euro 2016, fond memories to treasure.
The victory over Ukraine which was celebrated in the midst of a thunderstorm on a never-to-be-forgotten night in Lyon.
The backs-to-the-wall defensive display against Germany, and goalkeeper Michael McGovern's part in restricting the defeat by the World Cup holders to 1-0.
McGovern, who was chosen as the outstanding goalkeeper of the group stage by both Opta and BBC readers using the team selector, is out of contract at Hamilton Academical and veteran defender Hughes is without a club. They are among the Northern Ireland players likely to reap rewards from major tournament exposure.
NI played well for parts of the last-16 match against Wales, but the lack of cutting edge and firepower ultimately proved their downfall.
And there were the Northern Ireland fans whose amazing support of their team won them many admirers and lit up stadiums in Nice, Lyon and Paris. Thirty minutes after losing to Germany at the Parc des Princes, the green-shirted fans were still singing their heads off in the stadium.
Former midfielder Lennon, who won 40 caps, added: "The fans have been incredible. They have been starved of these big occasions and Northern Ireland have covered themselves in glory both on and off the pitch."
The Northern Ireland squad will receive an official homecoming in Belfast on Monday evening.
