Plymouth Argyle manager John Sheridan says Reuben Reid will be a "legend" at the Pilgrims after his hat-trick in the

Reid became the first Argyle player to score a hat-trick against Exeter since Ray Bowden in October 1929.
"He'll be a legend at Plymouth now, scoring a hat-trick in a derby. If you do that people will remember you," Sheridan told BBC Radio Devon.
"Reuben will get all the plaudits, but it was a very good team effort."
Saturday's win was Plymouth's first league victory at St James Park since September 2001 and moved them up to sixth place in League Two.
"It means a lot to me," added Sheridan, whose side have now won their last four matches in League Two.
"Any victory means a lot to me, I want to be successful. If people think I don't care they don't even know me.
"Anyone who knows me knows what I'm like, I know when the time's right to get pumped up and really enjoy things.
"At this moment in time we're a long, long way away from doing what we want to do, so I've got to stay focused, but I enjoyed that."


An election campaign letter from Prime Minister David Cameron, complete with misspelled constituency name, is "embarrassing", a resident has said.

Letters were addressed to constituents in Southampton Itchen, detailing Conservative successes, with the area spelt "Itchin".
Resident Tyler Coombes, from Sholing, said the mistake was "poor".
A spokesman for the Conservative Party said: "This was an honest mistake, made in the heat of campaigning."
Mr Coombes posted the letter on Twitter and said: "Thank you for your letter @David_Cameron. Perhaps next time you could spell Southampton ItchEn correctly? #poor".
He said he usually voted for the party but this made him "question things".
He said: "It is a basic letter from the Conservatives saying what they have done in power and what it would mean if we vote them in, it's David Cameron giving himself a thumbs up.
"It is just a bit careless, it is not what you want from a person running the country.
"I usually vote Conservative but this makes you prick your ears up a bit, it's a bit embarrassing."
The BBC understands the letter was sent to a large number of households
Labour's John Denham has represented the constituency since 1992.
The candidates for the constituency are:
Eleanor Bell, Liberal Democrat
Rowenna Davis, Labour
Royston Smith, Conservative
John Spottiswoode, Green
Kim Rose, UK Independence Party
Sue Atkins, Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition

Trainer Aidan O'Brien's winning run continued as his horses filled the first three places in the Chester Vase, with Venice Beach victorious.

The 5-2 favourite, ridden by Ryan Moore, beat Wings Of Eagles, with The Anvil a nose further back in third.
O'Brien said all three could run in next month's Epsom Derby, for which Venice Beach is rated fifth favourite.
"I thought it was a very good performance. We are still learning an awful lot about him," said Moore.
On Sunday, Winter won the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket to give O'Brien a third double in the Guineas - following Saturday's victory with Churchill.
The trainer also won both Classics in 2005 and 2012.
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
Venice Beach, another son of super stallion Galileo, won this like a useful performer - though it was his third run of the year - and the eye-catcher was perhaps Wings Of Eagles, racing for the first time in 2017, who was, as they say, doing his best work towards the end of the race.
O'Brien was non-committal about any 'pecking order', but to be fair he's got important potential Derby runners Cliffs Of Moher and Sir John Lavery in action in the coming days.
His Epsom team, however, looks more formidable than ever.


Kenyans have held a funeral for comic star Benson Wanjau, known to many by the name of his popular TV character "Mzee Ojwang".

He died of pneumonia at hospital earlier in July aged 78 years old.
Despite acting for more than 50 years, he could not afford to pay his medical bills and a social media campaign by fans was organised to raise the money.
Hundreds of film colleagues gathered at a stadium in the capital, Nairobi, for the funeral, also paid for by fans.
BBC Africa Live: News updates
Earlier they viewed his body at the national theatre and he has now been buried in a public cemetery.
The BBC's Abninoor Maalim in Nairobi says Mr Wanjau was regarded as Kenya's father of family comedy.
His TV series Vitimbi, popular in the 1980s and 1990s across East Africa, would take on social issues such as wife beating and drunkenness.
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta said the comedian "taught without sounding preachy, informed without boring anyone, and entertained without becoming trivial".
"Family television will not be the same without the promise of 'Mzee Ojwang' regaling the nation with his antics," he added.
Although Mr Wanjau had been out of the limelight for some time, his portrayal of "Mzee Ojwang" was well remembered by Kenyans, our correspondent says.
The character was an uneducated authoritarian type, who was constantly suspicious of his family and employees.
Mr Wanjau's contract with the state broadcaster, KBC, was terminated in July 2014 after 40 year, in unclear circumstances, and angry fans allege the station mistreated him.
Kenyan actress Lucy Wangoi, who acted alongside him since they were both in their twenties, is urging politicians to put in regulations to protect actors.
"The only way the government can repay Mzee Ojwang as he rests is to establish policies that govern the film industry and invest in improving the lives of the artists," she told the BBC.


A man who lost his wallet 14 years ago has discovered it led to an annual drinking contest in his honour.

The Tim Burrows Challenge became a tradition among a group of more than 10 friends who found the wallet at the Reading Festival in 2003 and "borrowed a tenner" to buy some cider.
Mr Burrows shared the story on Twitter after the group traced him by messaging hundreds of Tim Burrowses on Facebook.
The wallet was handed into lost property after the cider purchase.
Mr Burrows said on Twitter: "Been contacted by a man who found my wallet at Reading 2003, took £10 out to buy cider and held an annual drinking competition in my honour."
His post had been liked more than 52,000 times by Friday morning and retweeted by more than 17,000 people.
The discovery would have been swifter had the group's original message not languished in his "other" folder because they were not friends on Facebook.
Mr Burrows, now a journalist for The Guardian in London, said he was "touched" his name was used for the contest.
Giles, a founder of the drinking game, told the BBC he had been trying to trace Mr Burrows for the past six months and offered to return the money.
The 32-year-old, who asked for his surname not to be used, told Mr Burrows: "Sorry to inform you so many years later, would happily restore karma by offering to pay the £10 back to its rightful owner.
"I fear now the number of Timothy Burrows I have messaged in my attempt to do this."
He said that his then teenage friends who found the wallet used the £10 to buy "litres of cider".
They had since played a game involving cider named after Mr Burrows, he added.
"It's the best £10 he never knew he spent," Giles said.
He added he was pleased Mr Burrows had taken news of the story in good humour.
Mr Burrows said it was a "nice feeling" to discover that he had been toasted, unbeknown to him, for years.
"It's a nice feeling. I'm not completely distant from that kind of behaviour myself. It feels like I have added memories somehow - of haunting these debauched occasions.
"I don't begrudge that they spent the £10 - I think that's what anyone would do. At Reading you're in your teens and you're unable to budget properly.
"In a sense, anything you find there is like a scavenger's haul.
"But I would definitely take up Giles on the offer of a drink one day".


Caretaker Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny has met President Barack Obama at the White House.

The meeting took place on Mr Obama's last St Patrick's Day as president.
Depending on the outcome of negotiations to form a new government in the Republic of Ireland, it could also be Mr Kenny's last as taoiseach.
However, Mr Kenny told Vice President Joe Biden that Ireland would be able to put together a stable government during the next "short period ahead".
The recent general election in the Republic was mentioned several times during speeches from both men.
Mr Biden said that he was surprised at the outcome saying "he [Mr Kenny] did a hell of a job, is still the most popular guy, and he lost".
Mr Biden said Mr Kenny had assured him that it was "going to work out".
Speaking to reporters after visiting the Oval Office, Mr Kenny said Fine Gael is talking to like-minded parties and individuals on government formation and is working on drawing-up a set of priorities.
"We're actually determining our set of priorities that will be important in the discussions that Fine Gael will have in putting together a government," he said.
"Some of that comes from our own programme, some of it comes from the parties and the alliances that we've been talking to.
"And some of it clearly comes from the concerns raised by people during the course of the election, like housing and homelessness, health issues and so on."
He added: "We expect to have that finalised next week and that gives us really the basis for negotiations and for discussions about putting a government together."
At the White House, Mr Kenny presented the traditional bowl of shamrock to President Obama.
The bowl was hand-cut at the House of Waterford Crystal factory in Ireland.
He also presented the president with a pair of cuff links modelled on the buttons of the coat Michael Collins was wearing when he was killed, and a collection of poetry and art celebrating the centenary of the 1916 Rising.
Michelle Obama was given a ring designed by Paul Kelly, inspired by the Ring of Kerry, and a hamper of Irish food items.
Their daughters, Malia and Sasha, received two Newbridge Silver compact mirrors.
Mr Kenny will return to Ireland for a short time on Wednesday before travelling to Brussels for a European Council meeting on St Patrick's Day.


A Glasgow DJ prompted concern that an iconic plain bread brand was under threat, after a social media post urging people to buy it.

Kodie Blak posted a picture of Mothers Pride Scottish Plain bread on Facebook and said due to falling sales only one factory now produced it.
The comment prompted concern about availability of the bread, and the post was shared more than 13,000 times.
The firm which produces the bread said it had no plans to stop producing it.
A spokeswoman for Hovis, which includes the Mothers Pride brand, said: "We know that Mothers Pride has a very loyal consumer base who are passionate about the Scottish batch loaf.
"We do love and appreciate the strong response of support we've seen from Scottish consumers."
Mothers Pride is a batch bread made in a large baking tray, which means the loafs only form a crust on the top and bottom.
It differs from a pan loaf, which is baked in an individual tray and so forms crust round the whole bread.
The two types of bread were immortalised in the Jeely piece song - a Scots folk song written in the 1960s - in the line: "If it's butter, cheese or jeely, if the bread is plain or pan".
Mothers Pride bread, which has been in production for 80 years, is made in Glasgow by the only batch plant left in the UK.
For a time in the 1970's and 80's it was one of the UK's best selling white breads.


Developers who saw their plans for 1,000 homes near a Northamptonshire village rejected by councillors are set to appeal against the decision.

Bovis Homes wanted to build the new estate on land between Collingtree Park and Collingtree village to the south of Northampton.
The plans were rejected by Northampton Borough Council in January.
Now a report to the council's planning committee, meeting next week, says Bovis Home intends to appeal.
The plans, for the site to the north of the M1, also included community buildings, a site for a primary school and open space.
Council officers said in the report that if the appeal was successful it would be important to have in place an agreement with the developer for it to help fund play areas, footpath improvements and a school and community buildings.
The original plans were recommended for approval by council officers but rejected by the council after fears were raised about flooding in the area and some homes being sited too near the M1.


Irish sprint star Jason Smyth clinched his fifth Paralympic gold medal as he won a third straight T13 100m title in Rio.

The Northern Irishman clocked 10.64 seconds as he finished 0.14 ahead of Namibia's Johannes Nambala.
Ireland athlete Smyth's gold came after the triumph by another Northern Irish competitor Bethany Firth who won a swimming gold for Britain on Thursday.
Eglinton man Smyth, 29, went into the 100m as a strong favourite.
However just as was the case in his heat, the world's fastest Paralympian had to work hard to hold off Namibian Nambala, who produced another personal best, with Australia's Chad Perris taking bronze in 10.83.
Visually-impaired Smyth earned doubles in Beijing and London but that will not be possible in Rio after the International Paralympic Committee opted to remove the T13 200m from the athletics programme.

The Team Ireland athlete's winning time on Friday was 0.18 seconds outside the T13 world record he set when winning in London four years ago but he was still delighted with his latest triumph.
"It's been incredible," added the County Londonderry man.
"It's my third consecutive Paralympic Games and fifth gold medal. To be honest, it's a little bit like a fairytale.
"I keep wondering when this fairytale is going to end but thankfully it doesn't."
Smyth has been unbeaten throughout his Paralympic career which began when he achieved a double at the 2005 IPC European Championships in Finland.
The Irish athlete qualified for Friday's final by winning his heat in 10.76 seconds on Thursday as he finished 0.05 ahead of Nambala.
The 29-year-old Northern Irishman has gone as fast as 10.22 in able-bodied competition and showed good form earlier this summer when he came home in 10.39 in Florida.
As an eight year old, the world's fastest Paralympian was diagnosed with the genetic condition, Stargardt's Disease, which has left him with less than 10% of normal vision.
Later on Friday, Ireland clinched a second medal of the Games as Galway cyclist Eoghan Clifford clinched a bronze in the C3 individual pursuit.
Clifford, 36, finished more than a second ahead of Canadian Michael Sametz in the bronze-medal race off.

Police have undertaken a major security operation during the funeral of a man who was murdered in Dublin.

David Byrne, 33, was shot dead during a gun attack at a boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel on Friday 5 February.
The funeral mass took place at St Nicholas of Myra Church on Francis Street.
Armed police maintained a discreet presence near the church throughout the service.
The shooting was carried out by a gang of six gunmen, one of whom is believed to be a paramilitary from County Tyrone.
Detectives believe that Mr Byrne was murdered in retaliation for the shooting of Gary Hutch on the Costa del Sol last September.
Before the service police carried out security checks in the area surrounding the church.
A police helicopter also circled overhead.
Mr Byrne is said to have had connections to an international drug gang which operates from the south of Spain.
Police have said they are keeping an open mind over suspected dissident republican involvement in the hotel killing.


Uber has launched a motorbike taxi service in Jakarta, to offer commuters an alternative for getting around the usually congested Indonesian capital.

The app-based car-hire service joins rivals Grab and GoJek, who already have established similar services.
Thousands of taxi drivers protested recently in the Indonesian capital against transport apps.
The drivers said ride-hailing apps such as Uber have made it impossible for them to earn a living in the city.
Uber started operating in Jakarta in the later part of 2014. The car-hire service also operates in other Indonesian cities - Bandung, Surabaya and the popular tourist destination Bali.
It is calling its latest offering "uberMOTOR", which it claims will allow anyone in Jakarta to "push a button and get a motorbike ride in minutes".
The company says its pricing is the "most affordable" in town, with a base fare starting at 1,000 Indonesian rupiah ($0.08; Â£0.06).
Earlier this year, thousands of cab drivers in Paris also staged a protest, against competition from app-based taxi services including Uber.
The Uber service is available in 380 cities around the world. The company has said it is profitable in the US. But in China, Uber is losing $1bn a year. And that is partly due to fierce competition.


Ikea has withdrawn meatballs from sale in 14 European countries after tests in the Czech Republic found traces of horsemeat in a batch made in Sweden.

Meatballs from the same batch had been sold in many states, including the UK, France and Portugal, the retailer said.
Swiss food giant Nestle meanwhile said it had found horse DNA in meat from the Spanish supplier, Servocar.
The discoveries come as EU agriculture ministers meet for talks expected to focus on the growing horsemeat scandal.
Since the first horsemeat was discovered in frozen meals and burgers in the UK and Ireland last month, traces have been found in meat products across Europe.
Ikea's announcement on Monday came after the Czech State Veterinary Administration said horsemeat had been found in 1kg (2.2lb) packs of meatballs manufactured in Sweden and shipped to the Czech Republic for sale in Ikea stores there.
A total of 760kg (1,675lb) of the meatballs have been intercepted and stopped from reaching Czech shelves, according to the Associated Press.
Horsemeat had also been found in beef burgers imported from Poland, the Czech State Veterinary Administration said.
In a posting on its Swedish Facebook page, Ikea first confirmed it was halting all sales of meatballs at its stores in the country.
Later, the company announced that meatballs from the affected batch of meatballs had also been sent to Ikea stores in Slovakia, Hungary, France, the UK, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and the Republic of Ireland.
Ikea insisted that it had not found any horsemeat during in-house tests on its own range of food products, carried out two weeks ago, but said new tests would now be carried out.
"We do not tolerate any other ingredients than the ones stipulated in our recipes or specifications, secured through set standards, certifications and product analysis by accredited laboratories," a statement said.
Also on Monday, the Spanish agriculture ministry announced that traces of horsemeat had been found in beef pasta meals produced by brands owned by Nestle.
A statement on the Swiss company's website said it was withdrawing six "La Cocinera" products and one "Buitoni" product from shops in Spain, and that it had halted all deliveries from the meat supplier, Servocar.
Nestle said testing continued across its products, a week after it announced that it was withdrawing two types of beef pasta meals from supermarkets in Italy and Spain which had been supplied by a company in Germany, H J Schypke.
A Nestle spokesman told the BBC the discovery of horsemeat in the products of a second supplier was not an indication that the problem was widespread across the company, but because "we are testing like mad".
The labelling of the origin of meat and the traceability of the products will be high on the agenda at the EU ministers' meeting.
Europe's food retailers depend on a complex network of brokers, cold stores and meat-cutting plants around the continent from which to source the ingredients wherever they are cheapest, says the BBC's Christian Fraser, in Paris.
The evidence of the past few weeks shows that national food safety authorities have failed to identify a problem in the supply chain over a significant period of time, he adds.
While the original agenda of the EU meeting included support for rural communities and the common fisheries policy, it is expected ministers will now try to come up with measures to tackle the horsemeat scandal.
Those could include a pan-European labelling project for frozen food, a move which has the backing of France and Germany.
Paris and Berlin both want compulsory labelling and traceability.
UK Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said on Friday that he would "continue to insist on concrete, co-ordinated action right across Europe when I meet European agriculture ministers on Monday".
But a workable deal could be difficult, our correspondent says. The discovery of horsemeat comes in long, complex and poorly regulated supply chains in the meat industry.
At least a dozen countries are involved in the horsemeat affair, which implicates some of the biggest meat processors and food producers.
Italy joined the list on Saturday, reporting horsemeat in some lasagne products.
On Friday, Germany's consumer affairs ministry announced it had found traces of horse DNA in 67 of 830 food products tested.
Irish authorities on Friday suspended production at one processing plant after horsemeat was found labelled as beef.


Another report on the Northern Ireland housing market shows price falls, with a claim that the upcoming EU referendum was a contributing factor.

The quarterly house price index compiled by the Ulster University suggests prices dropped 6.5% between the end of 2015 and this March.
Its report said there was "a mini-correction" in the market.
It said uncertainty at the outcome of the 23 June EU vote "will undoubtedly have impacted negatively on the market."
Last week, official government figures showed Northern Ireland property prices fell for the first time in three years.
The university's research suggests the average house price in the first quarter of 2016 was Â£146,472.
Over the quarter, all property types, with the exception of semi-detached bungalows, suffered reduced price levels.
Professor Stanley McGreal from Ulster University said: "The research statistics are reflective of mixed feelings by the sector across Northern Ireland.
"Some estate agents attribute the apparent slowing in first quarter simply to a seasonal fluctuation, others attribute it to house buyers' concerns of economic uncertainty."


Hong Kong's Chief Executive CY Leung says he will not resign, but has offered talks between his government and pro-democracy protesters.

The leaders of mass demonstrations have welcomed proposed talks, but still insist that Mr Leung should step down.
The protesters are angry at China's plan to vet candidates for elections in 2017, and say they want full democracy.
They have surrounded two Hong Kong government buildings, but have been warned not to try and occupy them.
At a news conference shortly before the protesters' midnight deadline for his resignation, the chief executive said attempting to occupy building would lead to "serious consequences".
He said the territory's top civil servant, Chief Secretary Carrie Lam, would open a dialogue with student leaders as soon as possible.
"Tonight, the Hong Kong Federation of Students issued an open letter asking for a meeting with the chief secretary, representing the Hong Kong government, to discuss one item - and this is the constitutional development of Hong Kong," Mr Leung told reporters.
"We have studied the letter in detail, and I'm now appointing the chief secretary to represent the Hong Kong government to meet with the representatives of the Hong Kong Federation of Students to discuss constitutional development matters."
He added: "I will not resign because I have to continue with the work for elections."
Student protest leaders responded by saying that they planned to join the talks with the government but insisted that Mr Leung should step down, saying he had "lost his integrity".
A wider pro-democracy group that has joined the demonstrations, Occupy Central, issued a statement saying it "hopes the talks can provide a turning point in the current political stalemate".
It added: "However, we reiterate our view that Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying is the one responsible for the stalemate, and that he must step down."
At the scene: Ali Moore, BBC News, Hong Kong
The late-night press conference came in the final hours of the student-imposed deadline for the resignation of CY Leung.
And while he made it clear he wasn't going anywhere, the agreement to talk has defused the immediate tensions. Protesters remain on the streets but the air of expectation in the lead-up to the deadline has gone, and the focus now is on what the government may offer when they finally sit down at the table.
The students want the talks held in public, which is an interesting challenge for the Hong Kong authorities. And while there's no indication they'll get what they want - in fact the opposite - they're sticking to their demands.
But the meeting is a chance for both sides of this political stand off to take a step back.  Whether it's enough to get the protestors to go home is another question.
Police had earlier warned protesters massed outside the Office of the Chief Executive and the Central Government Complex not to try to breach the cordon protecting the buildings.
Lord Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong before it was handed over to China in 1997, told the BBC: "For the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators and the majority of people in Hong Kong, the big issue is whether or not they can secure the free and fair elections that they have been promised for years.
"The future of the chief executive is tied up on the outcome."
Speaking about the fear of an escalation in violence, Lord Patten added: "China has so much at stake... I can't believe this could become another Tiananmen."
Q&A: Hong Kong's democracy controversy


A 17-year-old boy has been found guilty of grooming and sexually exploiting teenage girls on Teesside.

Ateeq Latif, from Middlesbrough, was found guilty a day after the jury at Teesside Crown Court found taxi driver Shakil Munir, 32, guilty of charges involving girls aged 13 and 14.
A third man, Sakib Ahmed, 19, pleaded guilty to exploiting five victims. The men, all from Middlesbrough, were "loosely connected", the court heard.
Two 18-year-old men were cleared.
Judge John Walford lifted orders banning Ahmed's guilty pleas and Latif's identity being reported.
The court heard allegations relating to seven victims, some of whom were known to each other.
The "vulnerable" girls were groomed with offers of free lifts, takeaway food and in some case drugs, prosecutors said.
Latif, of Abingdon Road, and Ahmed, of Cambridge Road, will be sentenced alongside Munir, of Tollesby Road, at a later date.
Latif was found guilty of two counts of arranging or facilitating commission of a child sex offence. His victims were both aged 14. He was cleared of another count of the same charge.
Ahmed admitted five counts of sexual activity with a child before the six-week trial of the other defendants.
Munir was found guilty of four counts of sexual activity with a child and one of child abduction.
Speaking after the case, Det Insp Dino Carlucci, of Cleveland Police, said: "These men preyed on young, vulnerable girls by befriending them and securing their trust and then exploited it.
"This has been an arduous and protracted inquiry for all involved and particularly for the young victims, who I commend for having the strength to see this through until the end.
"It hasn't been easy for them, or their loved ones, but hopefully now they can put this behind them and look forward to bright futures."


A former Catholic altar boy from northern Uganda, Joseph Kony has waged war in central Africa for more than two decades.

He claims that his Lord's Resistance Army movement has been fighting to install a government in Uganda based on the Biblical 10 Commandments.
But his rebels now terrorise large swathes of the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and the Central African Republic, and he is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Regional armies are trying to hunt them down with the help of 100 US soldiers.
Mr Kony was due to sign a peace deal with the Ugandan government in 2008, but peace talks fell apart because the LRA leader wanted assurances that he and his allies would not be prosecuted.
Born in the early 1960s in Odek, a village east of Gulu, Mr Kony is remembered as an amiable boy.
"He played football and was a brilliant dancer," one of his former classmates said, recalling the rebel leader's days at Odek primary.
The LRA's aims were heavily influence by the Holy Spirit Movement, a 1980s group that represented the Acholi people of northern Uganda.
The movement was formed by Alice Lakwena, a former prostitute who was believed to be Mr Kony's cousin.
They felt excluded from power after northern leader Milton Obote was overthrown in a military rebellion, and eventually replaced by current President Yoweri Museveni in 1986.
Ms Lakwena promised her followers immunity from the bullets of the Ugandan army, but Mr Museveni's troops defeated her movement in 1988 and she fled to Kenya.
After this defeat, Mr Kony founded his own rebel group which over the next 20 years has gone on to abduct thousands of children to become fighters or sex slaves.
Mr Kony himself is thought to have at least 60 wives, as he and his senior commanders take the pick of the girls they capture.
He sees himself as a spirit medium.
"They will tell us what is going to happen. They say 'you, Mr Joseph, tell your people that the enemy is planning to come and attack'," he has explained.
Young abductees who have escaped from the LRA say Mr Kony would tell them he got his instructions from the Holy Spirit and would often preach in tongues.
"I will communicate with Museveni through the holy spirits and not through the telephone," he once said.
He has created an aura of fear and mysticism around himself and his rebels follow strict rules and rituals.
"When you go to fight you make the sign of the cross first. If you fail to do this, you will be killed," one young fighter who escaped from the LRA told US-based Human Rights Watch.
"You must also take oil and draw a cross on your chest, your forehead, and each shoulder, and you must make a cross in oil on your gun. They say that the oil is the power of the Holy Spirit."
Mr Kony appears to believe that his role is to cleanse the Acholi people.
He uses biblical references to explain why it is necessary to kill his own people, since they have, in his view, failed to support his cause.
"If the Acholi don't support us, they must be finished," he told one abductee.
Six years ago, Mr Kony broke his silence
 and was interviewed on camera in his jungle base at the time in north-eastern DR Congo.
He was surrounded by some of what he estimated were his 3,000 heavily armed fighters, and insisted he was not the monster he was portrayed to be.
"Let me tell you clearly what happened in Uganda. Museveni went into the villages and cut off the ears of the people, telling the people that it was the work of the LRA. I cannot cut the ear of my brother; I cannot kill the eye of my brother."
He gave the interview at the start of delicate peace process brokered by the authorities South Sudan.
But the negotiations saw splits in LRA ranks and Mr Kony's deputy, Vincent Otti, who played a key role in the talks, died in mysterious circumstances.
It is believed he may have been murdered on the orders of Mr Kony, who refused to sign the deal.
The LRA later went on a major offensive, carrying out a massacre on Christmas Day 2008.
On that day and over the following three weeks, the LRA beat to death more than 800 people in north-eastern DR Congo and South Sudan, and abducted hundreds more.


British number two Aljaz Bedene was forced to retire hurt in his opening match at the ASB Classic in Auckland.

The 26-year-old world number 49 took the first set 7-6 (7-5) against American Sam Querrey, having saved four break points.
The second set also went to a tie-break, which Querrey won 7-6 (10-8), but then Bedene withdrew when trailing 2-1 in the third.
The Briton had lost a three-hour semi-final in Chennai, India on Saturday.

Mercedes' Nico Rosberg won a dramatic Australian Grand Prix, after a huge crash for McLaren's Fernando Alonso.

A bad start dropped Lewis Hamilton from pole to sixth but he fought to second.
Rosberg took advantage when the race was stopped following Alonso's high-speed barrel-roll to switch strategy and overhaul early leader Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.
Vettel's strategy gamble on super-soft tyres mid-race failed and he took third ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.

A thrill-a-minute race, with action throughout the field, provided the start to the season for which F1's bosses were hoping.
But its unpredictable nature meant it was impossible to form a definitive judgement on the exact relative competitiveness of the Mercedes and Ferrari teams who will dispute the season.
The race arguably turned as a result of the terrifying accident involving Alonso and Esteban Gutierrez of new team Haas on lap 17.
Trying to pass the Mexican on the run down to Turn Three, Alonso's front right wheel tagged the right rear of the Haas and he was launched into a barrel roll, coming to rest upside down in the barriers.
The two-time champion was clearly shaken but, although he limped away from his car, he was uninjured.
For the re-start, Ferrari chose to keep Vettel on the fast but fragile super-soft tyres he had fitted at his first pit stop, while Mercedes switched Rosberg from soft to medium tyres with the aim of going to the end without another stop.
From that moment on, the race was Rosberg's barring problems. He merely had to hang on to Vettel and wait for the Ferrari to stop, which he did on lap 35.
Because of new restrictions on radio transmissions, Rosberg was unaware of potential problems with overheating brakes and excessive wear on his left rear tyre. But, while on the edge, both issues stayed under control until the end of the race.
Hamilton had been in imperious form through practice and qualifying. He was out of the reach of his rivals as he re-found the form that had won him his third world title in 2015, but which he lost in the final three races of last season when he stopped working as hard once the title was won.
But the new rules restricting the use of driver aids at starts bit him when he made a poor getaway and was swamped by Rosberg and Vettel on the run to the first corner.
Hamilton's life was made more difficult when Rosberg edged him out to the edge of the track and he lost three further places.
Hamilton soon passed Williams' Felipe Massa, but Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen was more difficult and Hamilton pleaded for a different strategy, Mercedes fitting medium tyres at his first pit stop on lap 16.
Mercedes were switching him to a one-stop strategy rather than the more common two in an attempt to make up more places.
He stayed on those tyres during the race stoppage and although he was seventh at the re-start, he moved up as drivers in front of him stopped.
Hamilton appeared set for a comfortable cruise to second place only to make a mistake with six laps to go.
That put Vettel, faster on fresher, softer tyres, on his tail but Hamilton was able to hold him off to the flag - a task eased when Vettel spun on to the grass at the penultimate corner with two laps to go.
The differing tyre strategies of the two leading teams made it hard to judge their relative pace.
Overall, though, it would seem Mercedes do have a pace advantage but Ferrari did enough to prove they may be close enough to be more of a thorn in their side than they were in 2015.
Finishing behind Ricciardo, Massa took fifth ahead of other Haas of Romain Grosjean - an impressive debut for the team.
Britain's Jolyon Palmer was running in the points mid-race on his debut but was passed by the Toro Rosso cars and ended up 11th, one place ahead of team-mate Kevin Magnussen.
While Alonso had been running 10th before his crash, team-mate Jenson Button had a low-key race and took 14th.

Irish state broadcaster RTÉ is to extend its long wave radio service for listeners outside the country.

The LW252 signal, which brings programmes to listeners across the UK, including parts of Northern Ireland that cannot access an FM service, was due to stop in January.
It will operate a full service in 2015, reduced hours in 2016 before working towards a full shutdown in 2017.
RTÉ said that it had made the decision after listeners raised concerns.
Head of RTÉ  Radio 1 Tom McGuire said they had listened particularly to the concerns raised by and on behalf of the elderly Irish in the UK.
"Cost reduction remains a key priority for RTÉ and we remain convinced that, in the longer term, longwave has had its day.
"Nonetheless and despite the mid-term cost impact, RTÉ believes it is necessary to take a collaborative approach and slow this transition."
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has announced it is prepared to work with RTÉ to commission specific research to understand the community in the UK who listen to the longwave service.
The research will be conducted next year, will be funded by the department and will include perspectives from community groups representing the Irish elderly in the UK.


Scotland's first minister has said autumn 2018 would be a "common sense" date for any second independence referendum.

Nicola Sturgeon continued to insist, however, that no final decision had yet been made on holding such a vote.
In a BBC interview she would take things forward at "the pace that I think is right for the country".
Ms Sturgeon has previously said another referendum is "highly likely" following last year's Brexit vote.
Scotland voted by 62% to 38% to remain inside the EU, and the Scottish government argues that access to the single market after Brexit is vital to the country's interests.
Scottish ministers have put forward proposals they claim could achieve this, but have accused the UK government of "intransigence" on the issue.
In a recent speech in Edinburgh, Ms Sturgeon said a second independence referendum may become a "necessary" way of protecting Scotland's interests.
Interviewed by BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg for a BBC documentary to be broadcast on Thursday, she gave her clearest indication yet about the possible timing of such a vote.
Asked if autumn 2018 was a likely date, she replied: "Within that window, of when the outline of a UK deal becomes clear and the UK exiting the EU, I think would be common sense time for Scotland to have that choice, if that is the road we choose to go down."
Asked if that meant she was not ruling out autumn 2018 as a possible date, she said: "I'm not ruling anything out, I'm going to continue to, to take things forward at the pace that I think is right for the country."
Analysis by BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg
At Westminster and Holyrood in recent months there's been a building sense that Nicola Sturgeon has made up her mind to call a vote.
If she is now willing to discuss the timing of a second vote in public, consideration of another independence referendum is far beyond the hypothetical.
The crucial facet of that calculation is that the SNP believes its best chance of winning is before the EU negotiations are complete.
But also, it's up to the Westminster government to permit another referendum. There are huge risks for them in denying it, but ministers in London certainly would not grant a vote at the time of the SNP's choosing without a fight.
More from Laura Kuenssberg
Scotland voted to stay part of the UK by 55% to 45% in the 2014 independence referendum.
Ms Sturgeon's predecessor as first minister, Alex Salmond, has already predicted that a second independence referendum would take place in autumn next year.
While the SNP does not hold an overall majority at Holyrood, it could count on the support of the Scottish Greens if the Scottish Parliament voted on holding a new referendum.
Permission to hold such a vote, however, would have to be granted by the UK government at Westminster.
Prime Minister Theresa May has so far declined to be drawn on whether her government would allow a second referendum.
In her speech to the Scottish Conservative Party conference earlier this month, Mrs May accused the SNP of being "obsessed with its own priority of independence" to the detriment of devolved public services like education and health.
Nicola Sturgeon's interview was recorded for the BBC documentary Brexit:Britain's Biggest Deal - to be broadcast on BBC Two at 21:00 and on BBC Two Scotland at 23:15 on Thursday.


(Close): Shares in London closed with sharp losses as bank shares weighed on the FTSE 100 index.

The FTSE 100 finished 2.7% lower at 5,689 points as analysts said investors were turning against financial shares because of shaky global growth.
HSBC closed 4% lower, Lloyds Banking Group fell 3.5% and RBS ended down 4.6%.
Elsewhere in Europe, Germany's Dax fell more than 3.3% and France's Cac index finished 3.2% lower.
European banks were also hit hard.
Owen Callan, senior analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald, said: "People are worried about the global economy and particularly now we are beginning to look at the banks. You are seeing more and more people saying: is this 2008 again? Maybe not quite as severe, but do we need to be worrying about the banking sector and risk assets on a bigger level?".
Miners continued higher, building on some impressive gains last week. Randgold was the best riser on the FTSE following strong results, jumping 13.2%.
Engine maker Rolls-Royce fell 2.8% as traders speculated it was on the brink of cutting its dividend. It has issued a series of profit warnings in recent months and is due to release results on Friday.
dAdvertising giant WPP was down 5.3% on fears about the outlook for worldwide advertising revenue as economic growth slows.
Broadcaster ITV was down 7.2%.
Chip maker Arm Holdings was down 5.8% after brokers stated their "neutral" view of the stock.

Russian Aleksey Troshkin won the Jersey Marathon for the third year in a row, with his time of two hours, 18 minutes and 28 seconds just outside his own course record.

American Chris Zablocki again finished second, while James Faudemer was the first Jersey runner home in a new personal best of 2:39.15.
Nollaigh O'Neill, who led from early on, dominated the women's race.
"I'm so happy, but the time was slow," said the 44-year-old Irish runner.
"I was flying up until about mile 20 or 21 and my quads started to seize and tighten up, so I just had to pull back and run strong and smart."
O'Neill made it over the line at the Weighbridge just outside the three hour mark (3:01.48) and more than 10 minutes clear of second-placed Ffion Davies.
More than 400 runners took on the full 26-mile course, with hundreds more in the 3K fun run and relay events.
While Troshkin stole the headlines in the men's race, Faudemer's run smashing quarter of an hour off his personal best was amongst the local highlights.
"I'm just so happy," Faudemer told BBC Radio Jersey.
"Long distance running is picking up in Jersey - I knew I had it in me with the sessions I've done in the build up.
"The support was amazing throughout the whole course, friends and family, it was awesome and made a big difference."
SportsHub Men, featuring Jersey's top triathlete Dan Halksworth, took the relay title while SportsHub Women were the first female team home.
Peter Holmes won the 3K race, narrowly ahead of Jack Kennedy.


A man has been given a suspended jail sentence after his Staffordshire bull terrier decapitated a smaller dog.

David Savage, 44, of Warrington, admitted owning a dog dangerously out of control in a public place at Halton Magistrates' Court.
Magistrates gave him an eight-week jail term, suspended for a year, and ordered his dog be destroyed.
Gemma Antell, the owner of the Pomeranian dog Elvis, who died, said: "Nothing is going to bring him back."
Elvis was being walked by Mrs Antell's mother-in-law when he was attacked in a garden on Kingsway South, Warrington, on 6 July.
Savage's dog was being walked by Susan Campbell, 44, of Warrington.
She appeared in court charged with being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control and is due to attend a further hearing on 7 October.
Savage was told by magistrates he must take part in an alcohol treatment plan and pay the victim Â£300 compensation.
He is also banned from keeping dogs for 10 years.
Mrs Antell attended the sentencing hearing on Monday and wrote on Twitter she "cried her eyes out".
She added: "I had to tell my distraught kids. I had to take his decapitated dead body to the vets.
"They should realise the hurt they have caused."


A US couple who already have 12 sons but no daughters have welcomed a 13th boy into their household.

The latest member of the Schwandt family was born on Wednesday morning in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
In keeping with family tradition, Jay and Kateri Schwandt chose not to know the baby's sex before the birth.
"I was thinking, 'If this is a girl, I don't know what my reaction is going to be'," said Mr Schwandt, 40,  just moments after his son was born.
The ages of their boys extend over more two decades, starting with Tyler, 22, followed by Zach, 19, Drew, 18, Brandon, 16, Tommy, 13, Vinnie, 12, Calvin, 10, Gabe, 8, Wesley, 6, Charlie, 5, Luke, 3, and 21-month-old Tucker.
"There's a lot of commotion, a lot of chaos, but there's also a lot of love," said Ms Schwandt.
The family is now trying to settle on yet another boy's name, and have been seeking a little help from their other sons.
But so far the boys still haven't agreed on a name.
Kateri Schwandt, 40, comes from a family of 14 children.
She was the 13th child born in her family and she says that the significance of the 13th child being born on the 13th day of the month has not been lost on them.
The Schwandt family has been approached by several TV production companies with offers of their own reality show, according to the Grand Rapids Press newspaper.
Mother and son are both doing well and resting in hospital.
But are they likely to add a 14th boy to the family in the future?
"You never say never," said Mr Schwandt.
Does having children of one sex affect chances of having more?


A Scottish GP and former government advisor is facing charges of misconduct over his treatment of a number of patients, including a child.

Dr Tom Gilhooly runs the Essential Health Clinic in Glasgow which offers alternative treatments for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune conditions.
He has championed the use of low-dose naltrexone as a treatment for multiple sclerosis, organising international conferences on the subject and raising money for research.
Naltrexone is normally used to treat alcoholics.
He became the subject of a BBC investigation in 2011 for offering a controversial vein-widening treatment which was based on unproven theories that MS is caused by vein blockages.
Dr Gilhooly is charged with prescribing low dose naltrexone and prescribing risperidone to a child.
It is also alleged that he failed to refer the child to a specialist service for urgent support.
Risperidone is an antipsychotic drug normally used to treat schizophrenia.
Dr Gilhooly has been a GP in the east end of Glasgow for 22 years where he specialised in addiction medicine.
He developed an interest in alternative treatments for MS and offers private treatment to patients through the Essential Health Clinic, which he set up.
He has acted as an advisor to the Scottish and UK governments on drug misuse.
Dr Gilhooly's case is being heard in Manchester by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS).
Independent tribunals carried out by the MPTS replaced Fitness to Practice hearings held by the General Medical Council as part of reforms designed to increase public confidence in the regulation of doctors.


Scotland's upcoming matches against United Arab Emirates have been moved to new venues after heavy rain damaged Mannofield in Aberdeen.

New Cambusdoon in Ayr will host the four-day Intercontinental Cup match from 9-12 August.
And the Grange in Edinburgh will be the venue for the two World Cricket League one-day fixtures on 14 and 16 August.
Grant Bradburn has named his squad, with Preston Mommsen captaining the Scots and uncapped Chris Sole selected.
"This series presents a great opportunity to exert home advantage," Bradburn told Cricket Scotland.
"Although this season has been very lean in terms of international fixtures, our squad have enjoyed the opportunity to train consistently and play a full part in the domestic programme with their club and regional teams.
"Our depth has been tested for this series with three players - Matt Machan, Matthew Cross and Gavin Main - still returning from injury and not considered ready for the four-day I-Cup fixture, while Brad Wheal is also unavailable.
"Despite some unavailability we have selected a strong and balanced side which sees a number of players rewarded for consistent performances this season."
Intercontinental Cup: Preston Mommsen (Capt), Kyle Coetzer (Vice Captain), Richie Berrington, Josh Davey, Con de Lange, Alasdair Evans, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, David Murphy (w/k), Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Craig Wallace, Mark Watt.
World Cricket League: Preston Mommsen (Capt), Kyle Coetzer (Vice Captain), Richie Berrington, Matthew Cross (w/k), Josh Davey, Con de Lange, Alasdair Evans, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Craig Wallace, Mark Watt.


A bold, surprise move by the US on the world stage hasn't always been a recipe for global applause.

By indicting 14 top Fifa officials on corruption charges on Wednesday, however, the US government currently finds itself on the right side of much of the international media.
"The parasites in Fifa who skimmed off millions - and the influence peddlers who tempted them - should be shown no mercy," write the editors of the Times of South Africa. "The Americans will have done the world a huge favour if their actions finally force Fifa to clean up its act."
The headline of a piece by Emmet Malone in the Irish Times proclaims: "US does football a service as Fifa's house of cards begins to collapse".
Malone goes on to praise the "dogged" efforts of US tax authorities.
Fifa is a "global behemoth", writes Politico Europe's Tunku Varadarajan, but the US is an even more powerful adversary. "FIFA has met its match â€¦ in the United States of America."
Football commentator Simon Hill of Fox Sports Australia is even more direct.
"God Bless America," he writes "It's perhaps the ultimate irony that one of the last countries on earth to fully embrace football is the one that has had the gumption to take a stand, and try and rid the game of what the US Department of Justice calls 'systemic' corruption."
It's a recurring theme - that the efforts to reform football's governing body have found an unlikely hero in a nation that is usually more interested in the on- and off-the-field machinations of a different, more heavily padded kind of football.
According to Tufts University professor Daniel W Drezner, the Fifa story is providing a break in the clouds during what can otherwise be considered a dismal time for the US and its position on the world stage.
"We live in an age when foreign affairs pundits like to bemoan the crumbling of existing order and ponder whether the United States' best days are in the past, when rising powers seem more comfortable throwing their weight around than the US government," he writes in the Washington Post. "These are days when American scandals and dysfunction and economic stagnation seem to wrong-foot US foreign policy aspirations at every opportunity."
He says this is one of those days, however, "when the United States is the greatest country in the world, because it makes stuff like this happen".
Not everyone has such a rosy view of the US actions, of course. Russian President Vladimir Putin made news on Thursday when he questioned US motivations behind the investigation, comparing it to the cases of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.
Others are less conspiratorial, but still see indications that the US is overstepping its jurisdictional bounds in the Fifa case. Bloomberg View's Noah Feldman says the arrests in Switzerland echo previous US "extraordinary renditions" and "secret terrorism arrests", which have often been condemned by other nations.
He highlights the use of a US law aimed at breaking organised criminal enterprises and wonders if the global community will embrace the action, given its "reputation for extraterritorial imperialism".
"Through creative and aggressive use of a highly unusual American law, the US may well be seen as attempting a takeover of international soccer," he writes.
And if it's not seen that way, writes the Federalist's Jim Pagels, that may just be rank hypocrisy on the part of those currently showering the US with praise.
"Many of the same people who criticised the United States playing world police in Iraq are now cheerleading this news about the Department of Justice playing just that role in regard to Fifa," he says.
The final verdict on the US actions will have to wait for the coming days, weeks and months - hinging on successful prosecutions and whether Fifa undertakes what its critics consider meaningful reform.
For the moment, however, the story isn't a US government that's doing too much of this or too little of that in one region of the world or another. It's not drone strikes or sabre rattling; appeasement or belligerence.
The story is that the gears of the US justice system, and the rule of law, are grinding into action. And for many, it seems, that's nothing but good news.


India and Pakistan have agreed to resume high-level peace talks which stalled in 2012.

The agreement was announced at a regional conference in the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said the foreign secretaries of both countries would meet to set an agenda for meetings on "peace and security".
Talks are to include Kashmir, the spark for two of the rivals' wars since independence from Britain in 1947.
The region, claimed by both countries in its entirety, has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years.
"The foreign secretaries of both countries will meet and chart out the agenda for the meetings," Ms Swaraj told reporters after meeting her counterpart, Sartaj Aziz.
Pakistan is said to have assured the Indian side that it is taking steps to expedite the early conclusion of trials of those accused of involvement in the Mumbai attacks of 2009, the BBC's Shahzeb Jillani in Pakistan reports.
Ms Swaraj's visit came in the aftermath of a dramatic rise - and then a rather sudden easing - in tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals.
Pakistan wants to discuss Kashmir, claimed by both countries in its entirety.
India wants Pakistan to allow greater commercial interaction, liberalise visa regimes, grant transit rights to traders between Delhi and Kabul, and stamp out militant groups which it believes Pakistan has fostered to destabilise Kashmir and Afghanistan.
This is a complex situation, and talks in the past have often broken down, underlining a trust deficit on both sides.
A measure of success will be if they can draw up a road-map for more substantive talks in the near future - and then make progress on the many long-running issues which divide them.


Celebrities including actor Simon Pegg and illusionist Derren Brown are among hundreds of people who have donated postcards to help a flood-damaged town.

Cards from comedian Noel Fielding, actor Richard E Grant and artists around the world have been sold to raise funds for Kendal's flood relief.
About 3,000 properties in the Cumbrian town were damaged in December's storms.
Organiser Helen Pateman, from Kendal Arts Community (KAC), said the response had been "absolutely overwhelming".
The group had appealed for donations for the Card2Kendal exhibition and sale from complete beginners, local amateurs, world-famous artists and celebrities and it "just ballooned", Ms Pateman said.
They have had more than 200 donations of oil paintings, water colours, photographs, digital art, embroidery, crochet and one stained glass "postcard".
"We've had cards from Portugal to South America, USA, Australia and the warmth and love that people have been sending with the cards is just phenomenal," Ms Pateman said.
Established Cumbrian artists such as Jill Pemberton and John Hodkinson have also contributed. Comedian Eddie Izzard and presenter Karl Pilkington have also sent signed cards.
Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding from The Mighty Boosh "sent some very strange sketches" that their fans would love, Ms Pateman said.
"I did a painting swap with Richard E Grant," she said.
"I sent him a little painting I did of Wet Sleddale Hall, which is in Withnail and I.
"In return, he sent me a self portrait which I'm really chuffed we've got."
Cards are being sold for a minimum of £10 with those by well-known artists and celebrities auctioned.
They are being exhibited at Kendal Arts Community's unit in the K Village outlet shopping centre.
Organisers hoped to raise at least £1,000 for the Kendal flood relief effort.
The Environment Agency said it expected to spend £10m on repairs in Cumbria after about 5,000 homes and businesses across the county were damaged during Storm Desmond.
Bridges and roads were damaged or closed, leaving some towns and villages isolated and forcing residents and visitors to take long detours.
A Flood Recovery Appeal set up by Cumbria Community Foundation has raised £10m, including government match funding - ten times its original target.
KAC said some Kendal artists had been badly affected by the floods themselves and "understand what a traumatic time it has been".
More than £900 was raised on Saturday with further sales expected via the group's Facebook page, Ms Pateman said.


Scientists are perfecting new methods to spot a difficult-to-diagnose cancer.

Teams from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute and Swansea University are working on separate diagnostic techniques to detect oesophageal or foodpipe cancer.
Earlier detection could help save lives, as the disease is often picked up only when it is well advanced.
One technique uses a light-emitting dye; the other involves a test for mutations in red blood cells.
Both techniques still need considerable work before being made widely available, researchers say.
About 7,800 people die from oesophageal cancer every year in the UK. For men it is the fourth most common cause of cancer death.
Lack of symptoms in the early stages of the disease - when treatment is most likely to work - make early detection difficult.
The team from Cambridge, led by Dr Sarah Bohndiek, used a light-emitting dye that sticks to healthy oesophageal cells but not to pre-cancerous cells. Their work is published in the Journal of Biomedical Optics.
The dye would be sprayed on oesophageal tissue samples taken from patients with an increased risk of developing the disease. It would then emit infra-red light, a colour just beyond red. Cancerous tissue, not coated in the dye, would be identified as being dark and not emitting light.
Dr Bohndiek said: "People who are at a high risk of developing oesophageal cancer, such as those with Barrett's oesophagus, could be closely monitored with this technique. And removing patches of pre-cancerous cells could prevent some cases of oesophageal cancer."
The second test, developed at the Swansea University Medical School and announced at the British Science Festival, uses a simple blood sample and looks for mutated red blood cells as an indication of oesophageal cancer.
The mutated blood cells are a side effect of the cancer and their cell recognition proteins are no longer able to attach to them. These "naked" cells are detectable using standard laboratory equipment in any hospital pathology department.
The minimally invasive test which takes a few hours to perform at a cost of Â£35 could be used to screen those at risk, aiding in early detection.
The research, which is not yet published, has been fronted by Prof Gareth Jenkins and optimised over the past four years with more than 300 patients.
The number of mutated red blood cells seen in healthy subjects was on average five cells in every million, while in those diagnosed with cancer there was up to a 1,000% increase in the number of mutated cells.
Dr Cathy Burton, joint national lead GP adviser at Macmillan Cancer Support told the BBC: "To give people with oesophageal cancer the best possible chance of survival, it is absolutely essential that we speed up the process of diagnosis.
"Finding easier and more efficient ways of spotting it at the earliest possible stage plays a key role in making that happen."
Prof Jenkins said that following further tests and work he would like to see the blood test available to the public in four to five years' time.


The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) policy of pulling its ministers in and out of the Northern Ireland Executive is to be debated at Stormont later.

Last month, DUP leader Peter Robinson stepped aside as first minister and took all but one of his party's ministers out of the executive.
Since then, ministers have repeatedly resigned and been reappointed due to a row over the status of the IRA.
The Alliance Party has called a debate on whether that is damaging Stormont.
The party has asked the Northern Ireland Assembly to note that some DUP ministers have "resigned and resumed office more than 20 times since 10 September 2015".
Alliance has asked MLAs to vote on whether the "practice of rolling resignations has had a significant and detrimental effect on the governance of Northern Ireland and on the public's faith in the political institutions".
The motion has been proposed by Alliance MLAs Stewart Dickson, Chris Lyttle and Trevor Lunn.
The DUP introduced its resignations policy five-and-a-half weeks ago as a form of protest after police said some IRA members had been involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr.
Mr McGuigan Sr, a former IRA man, was shot dead near his east Belfast home in August.
Mr Lyttle said the debate was an opportunity to show people that there were MLAs and ministers working to deliver effective government.
"We fail to see how the Ulster Unionist Party resignation and in particular the rolling resignations of the DUP - we think over 20 in the last month - are achieving anything other that to damage public confidence further in the institutions, to imperil our public services and indeed to bring the assembly into disrepute," he said.
"They may also be in breach of the ministerial code which requires you to take office in good faith, to discharge your duties, to fully participate in the executive and to be accountable to the assembly, none of which is happening for those ministers."
The DUP said that because of Sinn FÃ©in's links to the IRA it could not do "business as usual" at Stormont until the issue of paramilitary activity was addressed.
Speaking to BBC Northern Ireland's Sunday Politics programme, DUP MLA Peter Weir conceded that the resignations policy was "clearly seen as being messy".
But he added: "We're more interested in achieving an outcome rather than in the process.
"Let's remember why we are here.
"We're here because there was a man murdered on the streets and the chief constable indicated that the murder was carried out by individuals who are connected up with an organisation [the IRA] which was connected up with a party in government [Sinn FÃ©in]."
Sinn FÃ©in has repeatedly condemned the murder of Mr McGuigan Sr and said the IRA no longer exists.


Jeremy Corbyn has visited a migrant camp in northern France and spoken of the "dreadful conditions" there.

The Labour leader said conditions in the Grande-Synthe camp near Dunkirk would be a "disgrace anywhere", and Britain should be "part of bringing European support to people".
He said the long-term solution was to deal with the conflicts causing the migration crisis.
On Friday France's PM said the crisis was putting the EU at grave risk.
Mr Corbyn was given a tour of the Grande-Synthe camp, meeting migrants and aid workers.
"What I'm trying to achieve here is to understand the nature of the refugee crisis that's facing the whole of Europe," he said.
"Ultimately we deal with the situation by dealing with the problem at its source, which are the wars and conflicts.
"Also, there are the human needs of people. We have got people here who have been here for months, if not longer than that, with no proper education, no access to doctors, no access to dentists, limited access to food - in very cold, very wet conditions."
He added: "We as human beings have to reach out to fellow human beings."
Aid workers said tents at the camp were surrounded by puddles of water and food, which had attracted rats.
The population of the camp has risen steadily in recent weeks to about 2,500, including about 250 children, according to Medecins Sans Frontieresâ€Ž. It says most are Kurds from Iran, Syria and Iraq who hope to reach the UK.
Speaking about the migration crisis, Mr Corbyn said: "Germany has done an enormous amount, other countries have done varying amounts and I think we should be part of bringing European support to people."
In September Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain would accept 20,000 refugees from Syria over five years.
Volunteers from several countries, including the UK, continue to help migrants living in camps in northern France. Aid gathered by a Glasgow Muslim society arrived at a camp in Calais shortly before Mr Corbyn's Dunkirk visit.


A dog which was seriously injured after plunging 60ft down a dam has been reunited for the first time with the vet who saved her life.

Cocker Spaniel Darcy had an emergency operation to remove her spleen after the fall in Glascarnoch Dam in the Highlands in July.
Veterinary surgeon Hal Drummond said the two-year-old, from Kellas near Dundee, had made an "amazing" recovery.
Darcy sustained a shattered femur, leg and pelvis fractures in the fall.
She was announced on Wednesday as the only Scottish finalist in the PDSA Pet Survivor Awards 2016.
Mr Drummond said he was delighted to be reunited with Darcy.
He said: "It's amazing to see her doing so well.
"I didn't think she'd be walking nearly as well as she is.
"Both ops have been a great success and she's done amazing just to recover from it."
The vet said that when Darcy was first brought to the team at Conanvet in Dingwall, it was uncertain whether she would survive.
He said: "There was a very guarded prognosis at the time, but it was a group effort by the whole practice.
"She was collapsed and in shock and obviously her legs were in a bad way.
"There was quite a lot of blood in her abdomen, so we had to take her to surgery straight away."
Darcy has undergone months of rehabilitation in Dundee and is on the way to a full recovery.
Owner Gordon Lyon said: "Given the nature and severity of the injuries she suffered we thought on a number of occasions that she wouldn't be with us at all.
"To see her running around like this is nothing short of miraculous.
"It's blown us away, what she's had to cope with and how much she's actually come through."


Even before President-elect Donald Trump named the executive chairman of Breitbart News Network Stephen K Bannon as his chief strategist, the site had played an unusual role in the election.

The right-wing outlet, which has been accused by some as being a hate site, aligned itself with the billionaire real estate mogul early on - to the extent where employees began to raise concerns about it being little more than a "fan club" for the Republican.
Now, with Bannon's appointment to the future president's inner circle, there are fears the most-read conservative news website in the US will be little more than a mouthpiece for Mr Trump's policies.
They are fears which have been brushed aside by the site's editor-in-chief in recent days, but it still begs the question: what is Breitbart and how did it get to where it is today?
Andrew Breitbart, a staunchly conservative media entrepreneur, created Breitbart.tv in 2007, which mostly aggregated news from other outlets.
Over time, Breitbart - who worked for online news pioneers Arianna Huffington and Matt Drudge - decided to create a site that challenged and undermined the power of mainstream media, which he saw as ruled by liberal-leaning reporters, editors and publishers.
He created three websites, Big Journalism, Big Hollywood and Big Government, covering all three arenas from a combative, right-wing perspective. Breitbart mirrored his news sites' attitude with his own larger-than-life persona.
"My entire business model is to go on offense," he told Slate in 2010. "They want to portray me as crazy, unhinged, unbalanced. OK, good, fine."
Breitbart's first big break was an undercover video investigation of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), which purported to show Acorn employees giving advice on how to set up a house for prostitution. The videos were heavily edited but the fallout caused the organisation to fold.
Another video on the site cost Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod her job by making it appear she was making racist comments.  After the unedited video, which showed her repudiating racist comments, became public her former bosses apologised and tried to hire her back.
On the other hand, the site was spot on in 2011 when it became the first news outlet to run with the story of former New York congressman Anthony Weiner's sexting scandal.
In 2012, Breitbart died suddenly of a massive heart attack, just as he was about to launch a newly consolidated news site called simply Breitbart.
Bannon - a former naval officer, investment banker, Hollywood producer, and conservative documentarian - stepped up as executive chairman.
"We are going to be the Huffington Post of the right," Bannon famously said at the time.
Their headlines, however, were anything but Huffington Post-like: "Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?" was one jumped on by Democrats during the presidential race.
Others include "There's no hiring bias against women in tech, they just suck at interviews", "Giuliani: 'Professional protesters,' not Hillary supporters, marching across nation" and "EXCLUSIVE: London cop confirms Donald Trump UK radicalisation claims".
It worked. Under Bannon's leadership Breitbart expanded by opening London, Texas, Jerusalem and California editions, and tripling its staff.
Readership has exploded from 2.9m unique visitors in 2012 to 17m in 2016, making it the most-read conservative news website in the US.
That huge surge in traffic is in part thanks to the number of exclusive interviews it secured with Trump early on in the presidential race - in the last year their traffic spiked 124%. Trump was also a frequent guest on Bannon's conservative talk show on Sirius XM.
That hasn't come without cost. According to Buzzfeed, some of Breitbart's own staff fretted they were becoming a "fan site" for Trump. Responding, Bannon was quick to mention that unlike other campaigns, Trump has never bought advertising on Breitbart.
That internal discord boiled over when Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski pulled a Breitbart reporter away from the candidate so forcefully he left bruises on her arm. The reporter, Michelle Fields, wondered aloud at the time why Lewandowski would behave that way towards "a Breitbart reporter, the people who are nicest to you".
Lewandowski and the Trump campaign denied any altercation had taken place, and Breitbart published a story questioning Fields' account. Subsequently, Fields and a number of top editors resigned from the site.
One of those editors wrote a highly critical piece of both Bannon and Trump, arguing that the current iteration of Breitbart is a betrayal to its founder.
"[Bannon] has sold out Andrew's mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump's personal Pravda," wrote former editor-at-large Ben Shapiro.
Those fears raised their heads again, after Bannon was announced as Mr Trump's new strategist.
But in an interview with The New York Times, the site denied it would be a mouth-piece for Mr Trump.
"Our loyalty is not going to be to Donald Trump; our loyalty is to our readers and to our values," editor-in-chief Andrew Marlow said.
He added: "If Trump runs his administration and honours the voters who voted him in, we're all good. But if he is going to turn his back on those values and principles that drove his voters to the polls, we're going to be highly critical. We're not going to think twice about it."
In the meantime, the site is making the most of the rise of the populist right, and planning on expanding into France and Germany - both countries with elections coming up, and where the right is hoping to repeat the victories seen in the US.


Two men and a woman have been arrested after a mass brawl broke out following a baby-naming ceremony.

Police were called to the Parkway Sports and Social Club in Plymouth on Sunday after about 15 people were reported to be fighting in a bar.
"A number of people suffered minor injuries following the brawl," police said.
Two men, aged 23 and 29, and 24-year-old woman were arrested for affray and have been bailed to 23 May.
Club managing director Chris Carwithen said the fracas started in the bar after the event.
"There was an altercation that escalated out of control," he said.
"We are holding our own investigation and anyone involved will be banned for life. We don't tolerate that kind of behaviour."
Police said the fight broke out at 19:55 BST at the club in Ernesettle Lane. They are appealing for witnesses.

Two US soldiers and an American civilian have been killed in a possible insider attack in eastern Afghanistan, the Nato-led force says.

A man wearing Afghan army uniform was said to have opened fire on them in Paktika province, close to the border with Pakistan,
Isaf forces have taken a series of measures to try to halt such attacks.
An Italian soldier died in a separate attack in Farah province in the west of the country, Italian officials said.
There was a spate of insider attacks on foreign troops last year but the last was more than a month ago, the BBC's David Loyn reports from Kabul.
Coalition forces train, mentor and fight alongside Afghan soldiers and that makes them vulnerable, our correspondent says.
"An individual wearing ANA (Afghan National Army) uniform turned his weapon against the Isaf service members," an Isaf statement said.
Three other Americans were wounded in the shooting, which appeared to start after an argument, Paktika's governor said. Isaf troops returned fire, killing the Afghan soldier, he added.
"Today was a very difficult day for Isaf," said spokesman Brig Gen Guenter Katz. He said they were conducting investigations, but it was too soon to give more details.
Meanwhile, the Nato-led coalition said the soldier killed in western Afghanistan had died "during an attack by an enemy of Afghanistan".
It was an "insurgent attack", Isaf said, rather than an insider incident as initially thought.
One soldier was killed by "hostile elements" and three more were wounded, the Italian defence ministry said.
A Lynx vehicle was attacked at 10:30 local time (05:00 GMT) as it returned to base as part of a Military Adviser Team convoy after training Afghan security forces, a statement said.
Details of the attack are still being investigated but initial reports say a grenade was thrown at the vehicle by a man wearing an Afghan army uniform, Ansa news agency says.
The Taliban later said an 11-year-old boy had carried out the attack.
The dead soldier was later named as Giuseppe La Rosa, a 31-year-old member of the Third Bersaglieri Regiment.
Last September, Nato announced it was limiting joint patrols with Afghan forces. Only large operations would be conducted jointly, with joint patrols evaluated on a case-by-case basis, Nato said.
Isaf forces have also been using "guardian angels" - Nato soldiers who provide a round-the-clock armed guard for their colleagues while they are training their Afghan counterparts.
About 7,000 new recruits a month join the Afghan army alone. Correspondents say it is a huge challenge to ensure Taliban militants do not slip through the net.


If Afghanistan had a tourist industry, Herat would be top of the list of must-see destinations.

This magnificent city on the vast dusty plains that stretch westwards from the mountains of the Hindu Kush was once a staging post on one of the greatest trade routes of the world - the ancient Silk Road between China and Europe.
The city's blue glass and intricate carpets were celebrated across the globe.
But what used to be known as the Imperial Road is not so imperious now.
Sanctions on Iran have helped push what was once a busy thoroughfare to the very margins of the world economy.
The border never actually closed.
But the sanctions, particularly on banking, made doing business with Iran much more difficult.
The hope now is that Afghanistan - and the rest of the world - will benefit as the potentially vast Iranian economy opens up once again after more than a decade.
Billions of dollars of frozen assets will pour back into the country as the restrictions on moving money in and out of Iranian accounts are lifted.
There is no shortage of deals to be done, Herat Chamber of Commerce head Hamidulla Khadam says.
"We have motorbikes, soft drinks, mineral water, paints, disposable crockery and plastic bags," he tells me, listing proudly just some of the products his city produces.
"The most important thing is that we will be able to transfer money via the banks, which we can't do now because of the sanctions," he tells me.
"That is likely to make it easier for us to buy Iranian goods, but more importantly it is also going to make Afghanistan a transit point for trade with other countries."
Increased competition may mean local manufacturers will suffer.
But in Herat's busy market, the traders say virtually all the products they sell are already either made in or imported through Iran.
"If there is something we want to buy," one trader tells me with a broad grin, "we just smuggle it in."
Lifting sanctions will make trade more straightforward, though.
"It should make the products I sell cheaper," he says.
In fact, the whole world is already feeling the effects of new competition from Iran.
Iran has the fourth biggest oil reserves in the world. And fuel prices are falling in anticipation of it opening up the taps.
But the hope is the benefits of lifting the sanctions will be more than just financial.
I chat with the commander in charge of the border, over a cup of saffron tea, a local delicacy (the desert honey is delicious too).
He says they will need to treble the number of staff to 6,000, to cope with the extra demand.
"Fewer people are going to want to join the Taliban," he tells me.
And that is a key part of the rationale of lifting the sanctions.
Economics and politics are closely entwined. And knitting Iran more closely into economy of this troubled region should knit it into its politics too.
Just a few years ago, Iran was regarded by the international community as a pariah state.
The hope now is that it can become a force for stability - another development that would benefit the entire world.


Germany is considering introducing a black-box-style data recorder for autonomous cars to help investigators in the event of an accident.

Following reports that new legislation was being prepared, the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure told the BBC the draft had not yet been finalised.
The hardware would record the decisions made by a car's computer while being used in autonomous mode.
It could pinpoint the cause of a crash.
The draft law was expected to be sent to other ministries for approval this summer, Reuters reported.
Self-driving car technology has been under close scrutiny following the fatal crash of a Tesla vehicle being operated in Autopilot mode in May.
Tesla has repeatedly stated that its Autopilot functionality is still in development and is not intended to be used as a fully autonomous driving solution.


We arrive at Tanzanite One on a cool September morning.

The drive from the nearest town, Arusha, was not too long, but the last stretch on a gravel road littered with ditches made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Once we got to the mine, we were given an induction and a quick briefing on the safety rules. After that we were off to the actual shaft, where we were allocated overalls, helmets and yellow plastic boots.
When I saw the contraption that would carry us 460 metres (yards) below ground, my excitement turned into fear.
The foreman referred to this square metal wagon as "the sink" partly because of the way it looks, but mostly because of the angular drop we would be making in it a few moments later.
Four of us could fit into it during a single trip down below.
We were the BBC crew together with the mine's chief geologist squashed underneath a steel bar, crouching as the wheels screeched into the dark pit.
A school bell tolled when we arrived on the site.
That was the signal the operators used for the pulley to either stop or go - quite basic.
By local standards Tanzanite One is said to be the most modern and mechanised mine in a region that exclusively holds vast reserves of tanzanite crystals, a mineral unique to Tanzania.
However inside the mine, we saw men working with shovels to load graphite into thick plastic bags. It is back-breaking work in hot and humid conditions.
The shortage of technological features makes it clear that Tanzanite One has limited capital investments.
The company was once listed on the London Stock Exchange, but today it is a privately owned company in a joint-venture with the State Mining Company of Tanzania.
Robert Grafen-Greany, affectionately called "GG" by the staff, is a British expatriate leading the prospecting and geology work being done on the mine.
He was showing us around the mine and then explained the simple economics of the tanzanite trade.
Even though this mine has the capacity to produce Tanzanite within a radius of 4km (2.5 miles), more exploration work is needed.
At present, it seems that potential investors need further convincing that this rare Tanzanian gem could lead to profitable investments in the future.
On the other hand, further exploration work cannot be done without more gemstones being sold, as that would boost the operating budget for the mine.
It's a catch-22 situation.
Nonetheless "GG" says that "historically it's been proven that it can be a profitable operation".
"Despite the difficulties. I think that's what's drawing in the investments."
The chief geologist also insists that irrespective of how sketchy things look on the surface, "in terms of regulation Tanzania has a solid mining code".
Instead, "the trickiest aspect of mining this deposit is the adherence to the code by other partners and stakeholders in surrounding mining towns".
This statement is a reference to the informal small-scale mines operating makeshift structures only a few hundred meters away from this big official mine.
On the periphery of Tanzanite One is a network of small corrugated-iron huts, stone mounds and pits.
These are artisanal miners digging for tanzanite stones.
Most of them are individuals, both local and foreign, who have been granted mining licences.
Many are alleged to be smugglers.
It's a tricky situation, because small mines engender a culture of entrepreneurship and local ownership.
Mining reviews suggest that the informal network employs 10 times more workers than the big mining house, and provides work for the rural communities in the region.
The so-called smugglers however add a criminal element to a fledgling industry. They have been the Achilles heel along the tanzanite value chain.
Back in Arusha, brokers and gemstone dealers ply their trade openly on a main road.
They are noticeable by their resplendent red blankets typical of Maasai cultural costumes.
When we approach them for comment, they insist that they will only speak on condition of anonymity.
The man we meet looks to be in mid-30s, and says he's been "trading tanzanite for 10 years now".
"The major challenge we are facing here, is harassment from the government," he says.
It seems the government is trying to clamp down on the illegal trade in tanzanite stones.
Experts suggest that the black market has distorted the price.
It has also denied the government much needed royalties and sometimes led to violent crime in the sector.
Hasnain Sajan is the managing director of Tanzanite Experience. This is the retail arm of the mining industry.
They polish, design, sell and market tanzanite products mainly to customers abroad.
I ask him why it is that a gem which is claimed to be 1,000 times rarer than a diamond sells for lower prices and is less known.
Mr Sajan believes that with time, the tide will shift in favour of higher tanzanite prices due to increasing extraction costs.
"At the moment tanzanite is not found so deep under the earth but as it becomes exhausted we're having to go deeper," he says.
"Going deeper is more expensive, that means the prices will rise."
Currently global tanzanite sales amount to $50m (Â£33m) each year, whereas diamonds have been known to earn nearly $12bn in a single year.
That is clearly a concern.
However, what Mr Sajan finds more challenging is the lack of local awareness about tanzanite, despite Tanzania being home to this precious commodity.
He says "most people don't even know what tanzanite is".
In this regard, he urges the state to embark on a major marketing and publicity campaign.
His view is that the state should also be doing more to protect those who are legitimate miners of the stone.
"We need to have a fence in the area. We need to secure the area so that smugglers and criminals are kept away from the mines."
However, he concedes that perhaps the authorities are overwhelmed.
"The government is trying its best, but these are the small things they could do to make it better."
This is a sentiment shared across the industry from the range of people we met, be they mineworkers, brokers or retailers.
It may not be a simple fix but interventions in areas such as mine safety, security, formal brokering and better marketing of tanzanite, would ensure that Tanzania's most unique treasure is protected and sold for much more internationally.


Braintree moved out of the National League drop zone at Southport's expense after edging out the Sandgrounders in a thrilling contest where seven goals were scored in the first half alone.

The tone was set in the opening minute when Michael Cheek converted at the near post, but Southport first drew level when Jack Higgins scrambled home after a quarter of an hour before Josh Thompson's header put them ahead.
Andrai Jones profited from a goalkeeping error almost immediately after in the 28th minute but Manny Parry closed the gap moments later before Oliver Muldoon's floated free-kick levelled matters after 36 matters.
Another Muldoon free-kick was turned into his own net by Higgins as Braintree, having trailed 3-1, ended a breathless first-half leading 4-3 at the Merseyrail Community Stadium.
Southport were level after 56 minutes when Jamie Allen netted from the spot after Braintree goalkeeper Sam Beasant had brought down Jones, but the visitors had the final say eight minutes later when Jack Midson headed home from a corner.

Hundreds of people have gathered in kayaks and small boats for a protest in the north-western US port city of Seattle against oil drilling in the Arctic by the Shell energy giant.

Paddle in Seattle is being held by activists who say the firm's drilling will damage the environment.
It comes after the first of Shell's two massive oil rigs arrived at the port.
The firm wants to move them in the summer to explore for oil off Alaska's northern coast.
Earlier this week, Shell won conditional approval from the US Department of Interior for oil exploration in the Arctic.
The Anglo-Dutch company still must obtain permits from the federal government and the state of Alaska to begin drilling.
The flotilla of kayaks, canoes, sailboats and paddle boats gathered near the 400ft (122m) tall Polar Pioneer drilling rig.
A solar-powered barge - The People's Platform - was also expected to join the protesters.
"This weekend is another opportunity for the people to demand that their voices be heard," Alli Harvey, Alaska representative for the Sierra Club's Our Wild America campaign, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
"Science is as clear as day when it comes to drilling in the Arctic - the only safe place for these dirty fuels is in the ground.''
Demonstrators are also gathering on land to support the flotilla.
The port's Terminal 5 has been at the centre of a stand-off between environmentalists and the city authorities after a decision earlier this year to allow Shell use the terminal as a home base for the company's vessels and oil rigs during the winter months.
Shell stopped Arctic exploration more than two years ago after problems including an oil rig fire and safety failures.
The company has spent about $6bn (Â£3.85bn) on exploration in the Arctic - a region estimated to have about 20% of the world's undiscovered oil and gas.


A soldier who killed three colleagues and injured 16 others in a shooting at US Army base was being treated for depression and anxiety.

He was also being assessed for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Post-traumatic stress disorder is an anxiety disorder caused by witnessing or being involved in a frightening or distressing event.
People naturally feel afraid when in danger, but the legacy of some traumatic events is a change in perception of fear.
They may feel stressed or frightened in day-to-day life.
Any traumatic event has the potential to lead to PTSD including:
People will be generally affected within one month of the event.
There is no blood test for PTSD, it instead relies on the judgement of a doctor speaking to their patient about their symptoms.
There must have been an initial traumatic event involving a close brush with death or serious violence.
There are then four criteria which must be present:
"This has to impair day-to-day function," said Neil Greenberg, a defence professor of mental health at the King's College London.
"With properly skilled doctors it can be very easy to diagnose, it could take a few hours," says Prof Greenberg.
But he says doctors must have a good suspicion of PTSD before starting to diagnose someone, as patients may not bring up their trauma history.
It can also be a challenge because some people deliberately "overinflate symptoms", sometimes for financial reasons, while others seek to avoid the stigma of a PTSD diagnosis.
For many people, the symptoms will go away within a month - but others will need psychotherapy or, if that fails, medication.
Cognitive behavioural therapy can help change the way people think about the traumatic event in order to control fear and anxiety.
This involves going through the event in detail with a therapist.
Antidepressants, such as paroxetine, are used if psychotherapy does not work.
Prof Greenberg, who also works with the UK Psychological Trauma Society, says treatment is still effective many years after the incident.
However, after such a long time the symptoms are very unlikely to clear up without treatment.


The UN human rights chief has called on Burma to investigate reports that dozens of Rohingya Muslims have been killed in attacks by Buddhists in Rakhine state.

In a statement, Navi Pillay said a "full, prompt and impartial investigation" was needed.
The UN had "credible information" that 48 Rohingya Muslims had been killed in violence in early January.
The government, however, has rejected the claims as groundless.
In a statement sent to the BBC, presidential spokesman Ye Htut said the UN was not listening to its own staff on ground and was damaging its reputation in Rakhine state.
Rakhine state - in the west of Burma, which is also known as Myanmar - has seen several outbreaks of violence targeting the Rohingya Muslims since June 2012.
In the statement, the UN said eight Rohingya Muslim men were attacked at Du Char Yar Tan village on 9 January.
On 13 January, a police official was killed in the same village by Rohingya Muslims.
This triggered the killings of at least 40 Rohingya men, women and children by local security forces and Rakhine people, the UN statement added.
The government statement only acknowledged the death of the police sergeant.
"I deplore the loss of life ... and call on the authorities to carry out a full, prompt and impartial investigation and ensure that victims and their families receive justice,'' Ms Pillay said.
"By responding to these incidents quickly and decisively, the government has an opportunity to show transparency and accountability, which will strengthen democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar.''
The Rohingya people are considered stateless and are rejected by both Burma and neighbouring Bangladesh.
At least 200 people were killed in fierce clashes between Buddhist and Muslim communities in Rakhine state in 2012.
Tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims remain displaced in the wake of that violence, many still living in camps.
Sporadic outbreaks of anti-Muslim violence continued throughout 2013 in other parts of Burma as well.
