A million more young people are likely to find themselves living with their parents over the next decade, according to the insurance company Aviva.

The main reason is the affordability of housing, the company said.
The study forecasts that 3.8 million people aged between 21 and 34 will be living at home by 2025, a third more than at the moment.
The number of households containing two or more families is also expected to rise, from 1.5 million to 2.2 million.
Its figures assume house prices will continue to rise at the same rate they have done over the last ten years.
Charlotte Nisbet and her boyfriend Jay Arkell - both aged 24 - were forced to move back in with his parents in east London, as they could not afford to rent by themselves.
Both of them are in work, but could not afford the Â£650 a month to rent a one-bedroom flat.
Instead they pay Â£100 each to Jay's parents.
"It would be nice to have our own space, and not to worry about treading on his parents' toes," she told the BBC.
She cannot foresee being able to get a place of their own in the near future.
"I'm pessimistic. On our current salaries, no way. If we did, we wouldn't be able to eat out or go on holiday."
Five ways to survive a three-generation household
But not everyone is gloomy about the prospect of sharing their living space with other couples.
The advantages include having other people around for company, cheaper living costs, and more people to share the chores, Aviva said.
"Multigenerational living is often seen as a necessity rather than a choice, particularly when adults are forced to move back in with family to help save for long-term goals like buying their own house," said Lindsey Rix, managing director of personal lines at Aviva UK.
"But rather than being an inconvenience, our report shows it is often a positive experience, with shared living costs reducing financial strain and the added benefit of constant company."
Figures from the 2011 census show that 1.1 million households in England and Wales were officially overcrowded.
In London 11.3% of all homes were overcrowded, rising to 25% in the London borough of Newham, the worst affected area in the country.


New laws making it illegal for Cambridge punt companies to tout for business have been branded "fascist".

City council head Lewis Herbert has introduced a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) which makes touting illegal in areas of the city away from the River Cam.
Touts face a fine of Â£75 for flouting the rule, which Mr Herbert said would protect people from being "hassled".
One tout said he would "fight it to the death".
The PSPO follows a public consultation earlier this year and bans touts from tourist hotspots such as King's Parade and some road junctions leading to the central shopping areas.

Mr Herbert said the council had spent two years talking with punt companies in an effort to curb touting.
The new law, introduced at midnight, will be in place for three years and enforced by council officials and police.
However, some companies have said it could put people out of work.
Janne Jarvis, an independent punt operator said: "It's a throwback to the 1930s, to fascism, unbefitting of a western democracy.
"It cannot be allowed to stand and we'll fight it to the death."
Mr Herbert said up to 50 touts often worked "well away from the river".
He said: "It is not right that people should get hassled.
"If people are saying to me there are 75 punt touts and at some points there have been 50 on the streets at the same time, is that something that is appropriate for a city like ours?"
Instead of touting, operators could sell tickets through shops or work directly with coach companies, he suggested.


Scientists are using YouTube videos to study a spectacular cave just outside Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Groundwater fills Dahl Hith, and it has become a popular weekend bathing spot for city residents wanting to cool off in this super-arid region.
And after decades of decline because of abstraction for nearby irrigation, the water levels are now rising.
Researchers have tracked this return by documenting cave-wall graffiti in the online movies posted by bathers.
They use the writing as reference points to estimate the position of the water table.
Some of these scribbles have dates in them; and some of the videos themselves incorporate time information.
All of this data has allowed the team to reconstruct past conditions in Dahl Hith.
"Since smartphones have become so popular and deliver quite good video quality - such data becomes useable. A few years ago, some people would have criticised it as 'grey data', and said 'you shouldn't use it'. But since there is no other data, you need to be creative," said Nils Michelsen, from the Institute for Applied Geosciences, TU Darmstadt, Germany.
He has been presenting his team's work at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in Vienna, Austria.
The cave study is another example in what is becoming a significant trend - the trawling of social media for scientifically valuable information.
Researchers are now "mining" platforms like Twitter for pictures and keywords.
Another application demonstrated here at EGU exploits the tweets of Jakarta residents to track the extent of flooding in the Indonesian capital.


A pedestrian is in a critical condition in hospital after being knocked down by a bus in the centre of Edinburgh.

The 65-year-old man was hit by the number 41 Lothian bus just before 10:45 at the junction between Princes Street and Frederick Street.
The Scottish Ambulance Service was on the scene within three minutes of the 999 call and took him to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
Police are appealing for witnesses. The roads was partly closed.
A spokesman for Lothian Buses said: "We can confirm that there was an incident involving a pedestrian and one of our vehicles this morning.
"Our staff supported the emergency services at the scene and we will continue to support police as they investigate the incident."
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "A 65-year-old man has been taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with serious injuries.
"Road closures are currently in place on Princes Street and Frederick Street to allow emergency services access, and the public are advised to seek alternative routes at this time."


Shaun Tuton and Kingsley James fired Halifax to a second win under new manager Jim Harvey to dent Wrexham's promotion bid.

Wrexham found opening scorer Tuton's pace hard to counter while he and James struck before the break.
Visiting defender Jamal Fyfield was controversially sent off in the dying minutes for a challenge on Tuton.
Halifax remained two places below safety while Gary Mills' Wrexham dropped to 10th in the National League.
Speaking about the defeat and Boxing Day's 1-0 setback against Southport,Wrexham boss Gary Mills told BBC Radio Wales: "We started the game very well and then defensively for the two goals, just very poor and it changes the game, it lifts them.
"Saturday's performance was our worst. Today we did okay in spells.
"But we can't defend like that. Did we look like scoring in the two games? I don't think we have.
"We've come up against two sides that are on the up and full of themselves and we haven't coped with it."

Domino's Australia - the largest franchisee for the Domino's Pizza brand outside the US - has posted a more than 55% rise in profits for the six months to December.

The firm said net profit came to 45.6m Australian dollars ($32.4m; Â£22.7m), an increase of 56.7% on the same period a year earlier.
Domino's said the positive figures were a result of "organic growth".
It claimed it had defied the current global economic environment.
On Wednesday, the pizza giant also announced its second profit upgrade since December - sending its shares up more than 10%.
Domino's Australia is listed in Sydney and formally called Domino's Pizza Enterprises. It holds the master franchise rights to the Domino's brand in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Japan and The Netherlands.
The firm said its operations in Japan had increased by 48 stores in six months to December, while its Australia and New Zealand operations were on track to open more than 50 stores for the 12 months to June. It currently has more than 1,700 stores globally.
Over the last 12 months, its shares in Sydney have risen 56.5%.
In December, Domino's launched its first ever 10 minute delivery store, with managing director Don Meij saying his goal over the coming three to five years was to see pizza's delivered in Australia within 12 minutes.
"Our commitment is to a philosophy of being 'slow where it matters, fast where it counts'," he said, referring to the firm's aim to prepare pizzas carefully, but to cook and deliver them quickly.
The Domino's brand globally is owned by the New York-listed Domino's Pizza Inc. Domino's Pizza Group - the UK arm -  is listed in London.
Earlier this month, Domino's UK and Domino's Australia completed a joint venture to buy into the world's fourth-biggest pizza market, Germany.
The joint venture, which will see Joey's Pizza brand become Domino's, is two-thirds owned by the Australian company, with the remainder owned by London-listed Domino's, which already had operations in Germany.


The Scottish government has agreed to change the wording of its independence referendum question, after concerns it may lead people to vote 'Yes'.

SNP ministers wanted to ask voters the yes/no question: "Do you agree that Scotland should be an independent country?" in autumn 2014.
The wording of the question will now be altered to: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
The change was suggested by the Electoral Commission watchdog.
Final approval of the referendum arrangements rests with the Scottish Parliament.
In a report on the issue, the commission, which has been testing the government's proposed wording, said concern had been raised over the phrase "Do you agree" and said more "neutral" language was needed.
Proposed yes/no referendum question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"

Independence Q&A
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the Scottish government would accept in full the commission's recommendations, which also include increases in the campaign spending limits proposed by the Scottish government in the run-up to the referendum.
That would see the cap on the two main opposing campaigns - Yes Scotland and Better Together - raised from £750,000 to £1.5m, while there would also be changes in the cap for political parties.
Ms Sturgeon said: "I am particularly delighted with the conclusion the Electoral Commission has reached on the question. While its view is that our proposed question was clear, simple and easy to understand, I am nevertheless happy to accept their recommended change.
By Brian TaylorPolitical editor, Scotland
"I am also pleased with the spending limits proposed by the Electoral Commission - they deliver a level playing field and will allow a fair and balanced debate on both sides."
For the UK government, Scottish Secretary Michael Moore added: "We accept the commission's advice on the clarity of the question, the funding levels for the referendum and on the clarity of the process.
"The UK government has always acted on the advice of the Electoral Commission for every previous referendum."
Scottish ministers also welcomed a call from the Electoral Commission to clarify the process which would follow the referendum result, under a joint agreement by both governments, to avoid confusion.
UK ministers said they had already begun setting out views on the post-referendum process, and Prime Minister David Cameron said he would not ''pre-negotiate Scotland's exit from the United Kingdom".
Yes Scotland and Better Together also welcomed the commission's findings.
Scottish Electoral Commissioner John McCormick said voters were entitled to have confidence in the result of the referendum.
He said: "We have rigorously tested the proposed question, speaking to a wide range of people across Scotland.

Limits cover the 16-week regulated period before the poll.
More from the Electoral Commission
"Any referendum question must be, and be seen to be, neutral. People told us that they felt the words 'Do you agree' could lead voters towards voting 'yes'."
Calling on the Scottish and UK governments to work together to provide more clarity on the referendum, the commissioner added: "People had a clear understanding that 'independent country' meant being separate from the UK.
"But they did want factual information in advance about what will happen after the referendum."
On campaign spending limits - which cover the "regulated", 16-week period of the campaign before the poll is held - the commission based its recommendations partly on information it now had on the likely shape and scale of campaigning.
Mr McCormick said: "The campaign spending limits we have recommended are designed to ensure there are no barriers to voters hearing from campaigners in what will be a historic vote for the people of Scotland.
"We have listened carefully to the views of the Scottish government and to campaigners, and have set out proposals based on our principles that spending limits should allow effective campaigning for all outcomes, deter excessive spending and encourage transparency."
In drawing its findings on the question, commission spoke to voters across Scotland to see whether they could easily understand and answer the question and took advice from "plain language" experts, politicians, academics and others.
The question and spending limits will form part of a Referendum Bill to be introduced to the Scottish Parliament in March.
The legislation is expected to be approved by MSPs without any major issues, given the SNP's overall majority at Holyrood.


Scientists have developed a vaccine that protects mice against a deadly form of the Ebola virus.

First identified in 1976, Ebola fever kills a majority of the people it infects.
The researchers say that this is the first Ebola vaccine to remain viable long-term and can therefore be successfully stockpiled.
The results are reported in the journal Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences.
Ebola is transmitted via bodily fluids, and can become airborne. Sufferers experience nausea, vomiting, internal bleeding and organ failure before they die.
Although few people contract Ebola each year, its effects are so swift and devastating that it is often feared that it could be used against humans in an act of terroism.
All previously developed vaccines have relied on injecting intact, but crippled, viral particles into the body.
Long-term storage tends to damage the virus, paralysing the vaccine's effectiveness.
The new vaccine contains a synthetic viral protein, which prompts the immune system to better recognise the Ebola virus, and is much more stable when stored long-term.
The vaccine protects 80% of the mice injected with the deadly strain, and survives being "dried down and frozen," said biotechnologist Charles Arntzen from Arizona State University who was involved in its development.
He said the next step is to try the vaccine on a strain of Ebola that is closer to the one that infects humans.


The Queen has handed out commemorative Maundy coins in a traditional service at Leicester Cathedral.

The monarch distributed money in recognition of services to the church and community to 91 men and 91 women - representing each of her 91 years.
Leicester is the final cathedral to host the annual service during the Queen's reign.
The Dean of Leicester, the Very Reverend David Monteith, said it was a "huge honour".

He said: "Wherever the Queen goes it's a great day, but the fact that we complete the series of cathedrals that the Queen has visited over her reign on Maundy Thursday means we are the triumph of all that work and we couldn't be more pleased."
Hundreds of people lined the streets to welcome the Queen, who was accompanied by Duke of Edinburgh, for the service which dates back to the 13th Century.
The Queen handed out two purses, one white and one red, to each person.
The red purse contains a Â£5 coin, commemorating the centenary of the House of Windsor and a 50p coin commemorating Sir Isaac Newton.
The white purse contains uniquely minted Maundy coins, equating in pence to the Queen's age.

Gwynfor Dafydd o Donyrefail yw enillydd Cadair Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yr Urdd Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, Taf ac Elái eleni, a hynny am yr ail flwyddyn yn olynol.

Mae'r gadair yn cael ei chyflwyno i'r prifardd am gyfansoddi cerdd gaeth neu rydd heb fod dros 100 llinell, a'r testun eleni oedd Yr Arwr neu Yr Arwres.
Mae Gwynfor yn fyfyriwr blwyddyn gyntaf yng Ngholeg yr Iesu, Caergrawnt, yn astudio Sbaeneg ac Almaeneg.
Yn wreiddiol o Donyrefail, sydd ym mro'r Eisteddfod eleni, roedd yn ddisgybl mewn dwy o'r ysgolion cyfagos, sef Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Tonyrefail ac Ysgol Llanhari.
Beirniaid y gystadleuaeth oedd Aneirin Karadog a Rhys Iorwerth.
Wedi'r seremoni, dywedodd Gwynfor ei fod yn falch ennill y gadair yn ei ardal leol: "O'dd e'n brofiad hyfryd cael bod yma yn fy ardal leol hefyd.
"Mae'n anodd credu, roeddwn i yma rhyw flwyddyn a hanner yn ôl yn ysgrifennu'r cywydd croeso gyda Mererid Hopwood, a hi oedd yn cyrchu heddi.
"Mae'n braf cael esgus i ddod yn ôl hefyd - roedd gyda fi arholiad ddoe, mae gyda fi arholiad fory felly bydda i'n mynd syth nôl i'r brifysgol nawr.
"Ac roedd criw Llanharri i mewn hefyd - fy nghyn ysgol i. Maen nhw wedi gwneud yn wych, maen nhw wedi cael 23 o gystadlaethau trwyddo, sydd erioed wedi digwydd o'r blaen felly dwi'n falch iawn o gael eu cynrhychioli nhw yn y steddfod."
Wrth gyfeirio at ysbrydoliaeth ei gerdd fuddugol, dywedodd Gwynfor fod I, Daniel Blake "yn ffilm ysgytwol ac yn ffilm bwysig â themau pwysig. Ro'n i am chwarae fy rhan i yng nghenhadu neges y ffilm".
Wrth draddodi dywedodd Mr Karadog: "O'r darlleniad cyntaf, mae gwaith yr enillydd yn hoelio ein sylw drwy ei allu i ddelweddu a disgrifio'n ddeheuig yn y wers rydd.
"Yn dra annisgwyl, cerdd ecffrastig sydd yma, un wedi'i seilio ar y ffilm I, Daniel Blake.
"Ar y cychwyn, roedd hyn yn peri mymryn o bryder i ni; mae'r gerdd yn pwyso'n drwm ar ddigwyddiadau a chymeriadau'r ffilm, ac yn benthyg ei thema drwy drafod dioddefaint haenau isaf cymdeithas.
"Ond drwy ei allu i'n llorio â'i linellau ac i gynnal y safon o'r dechrau i'r diwedd, rydym yn argyhoeddedig fod hon yn gerdd sy'n sefyll ar ei thraed ei hun.
"O ran aeddfedrwydd y dweud, roedd gwaith yr enillydd ben ac ysgwydd uwchben pawb arall yn y gystadleuaeth."
Mae Gwynfor yn gyfarwydd iawn gyda llwyfan yr Urdd, ac wedi cystadlu'n unigol a gydag Adran Bro Taf - yn clocsio, dawnsio gwerin, llefaru a chanu'r Delyn - ers pan oedd yn ifanc iawn.
Ef hefyd luniodd y Cywydd Croeso ar gyfer yr Eisteddfod eleni.
Dywedodd Gwynfor: "Coeden ar gampws Pencoed sbardunodd y cywydd ac mae'n wefr gallu dod yn ôl i'r un lleoliad i dderbyn cadair yr Eisteddfod."
Meistr y Ddefod oedd Mererid Hopwood, yr un a gyflwynodd y gynghanedd i Gwynfor.
Dywedodd Gwynfor: "Dechreuais i ysgrifennu o ddifrif yn dilyn cael fy ysbrydoli mewn sesiwn yn yr ysgol gyda Mererid Hopwood ac rwyf hefyd yn ddiolchgar i Cyril Jones a Huw Dylan am fy rhoi ar ben ffordd yn y dyddiau cynnar ac i dîm talwrn Tir Iarll am y cyfle i ymuno â nhw.
"Ond mae fy niolch pennaf i Catrin Rowlands, fy athrawes Gymraeg yn Ysgol Llanhari, am ei chefnogaeth a'i chyngor anffaeledig."
Carwyn Eckley o Gylch Dyffryn Nantlle ddaeth yn ail yn y gystadleuaeth, gyda Matthew Tucker o Gylch Llanelli yn drydydd.


A photographer has accused Taylor Swift of "double standards" in her row with Apple over music streaming.

Apple Music performed a U-turn over payment policy a day after the pop star threatened to prevent the US firm from streaming her album 1989.
Swift had argued that Apple withholding payments during a three-month trial period was not fair for artists.
But photographer Jason Sheldon said the singer herself did not "play fair" when it came to image rights.
Some of the claims he has made in an open letter to Swift have been disputed by representatives of the 25-year-old singer.
In it he wrote: "If you don't like being exploited, that's great - make a huge statement about it, and you'll have my support. But how about making sure you're not guilty of the very same tactic before you have a pop at someone else?
"With all due respect to you too Taylor, you can do the right thing and change your photo policy. Photographers don't ask for your music for free. Please don't ask us to provide you with your marketing material for free."
Mr Sheldon, who runs the Walsall-based Junction 10 agency, said he and other photographers had been called to hand over some rights to their images from Swift's live concerts.
To cover a performance in March 2011 at Birmingham's LG Arena, Mr Sheldon said he had to sign a permission form that granted Swift's management company long-term rights to reuse the images and prevented him from featuring them after the initial coverage.
"I can't use it in my portfolio, feature it on my website and even the original newspaper couldn't reuse it," Mr Sheldon said.
"What's more, they can give my image to my clients for press purposes. It's giving my work away for free."
He said the photo authorisation form included a section that gave the management firm "perpetual worldwide right to use (and to authorise others to use) any or all of the photographs for any non-commercial purpose".
Mr Sheldon said clauses such as this were becoming more common in photo agreement forms.
He said it was Swift's stance with Apple that "jarred" - with her "lambasting" the firm over using music for free, when her management firm was "guilty of doing the same thing with photos".
In a statement, a spokesperson for Swift said: "The standard photography agreement has been misrepresented in that it clearly states that any photographer shooting The 1989 World Tour has the opportunity for further use of said photographs with management's approval.
"Another distinct misrepresentation is the claim that the copyright of the photographs will be with anyone other than the photographer - this agreement does not transfer copyright away from the photographer.
"Every artist has the right to, and should, protect the use of their name and likeness."
Mr Sheldon said he had seen a 2015 version of the same contract that was even more strict, although he had not applied for one.
"I fully agree with Taylor Swift's stance against Apple, but it's about her playing by the same rules she wants to live by," he said.


The FTSE 100 index has narrowly missed out on an all-time closing high after slipping back from record levels.

The UK's benchmark index hit its highest ever level during trading at 7,129.83 shortly after midday.
But it then fell back in the afternoon, to finish the day 0.4% lower at 7,070.88 points.
Analysts said the stocks initially gained from falls in sterling, which extended its worst run since the Brexit vote to drop below $1.22 and €1.10.
The fall in the pound has boosted the FTSE 100 as many of the companies in the index generate most of their revenues abroad.
A weaker pound means overseas revenues are worth more when they are converted back into sterling.
Who's afraid of the falling pound?
Ahmed: The pound's fall and why it matters
Viewpoints: How low can the pound go?
The index broke its last intra-day high from 27 April 2015, when it reached 7,122.74 points, but could not hold on to beat that day's record closing high of 7,103.98.
Neil Wilson, a markets analyst at ETX Capital, said: "Brexiters might point to the FTSE's rise as a sign of strength, but this is very much a story of sterling weakness boosting foreign earnings."
FTSE investors took their profits in the afternoon, sending the index down again, because "this is not a rally based on lots of confidence", he told the BBC.
"The weak pound is 'good' for the 100 but overall we have to remember that the weak pound is a symptom of much deeper worries about the UK economy and Brexit," he added.
Sterling fell nearly 2% against the dollar on Tuesday to hit $1.2106 and 1.1% against the euro to €1.0964.
The pound is at its lowest level since Friday's flash crash, when it tumbled to around $1.18 before recovering.
Why does the fall of the pound matter?
On the upside, it matters for exporters which are boosted as their goods are far cheaper on foreign markets.
It matters for multinational companies like pharmaceutical firms which earn much of their income in dollars. It matters for the tourism industry in the UK, as foreign visitors flock here for bargains and good value holidays.
On the downside, it matters for tourists travelling abroad who will find everything they buy much more expensive.
It matters for the food and fuel this country imports as it becomes more expensive. It matters for inflation, as the rise in import costs feeds through to businesses and the High Street.
And remember, it does not need much of a rise in inflation to wipe out real income growth which at present is running at around 2%. If real incomes start falling, that is when the fall in sterling becomes a truly political issue.
Because the pound in your pocket will actually be worth less.

Some traders said sterling's further falls were linked to reports on Tuesday that Russian bank VTB and US banks Citi and Morgan Stanley could move staff outside of London, adding to worries about foreign investment leaving the UK.
Others pointed to leaked documents warning that a withdrawal from the EU single market could cost the Treasury more than £66bn a year.
Also on Tuesday, a senior official at Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, said Friday's flash crash had correctly reflected expectations for the UK economy.
The fund is one of Britain's biggest foreign investors, holding shares in most large UK companies and a stake in London's Regent Street.
Oeyvind Schanke, the fund's chief investment officer for asset strategies, told Reuters: "I do believe in market forces and I do believe that investors have an ability to price. And what that price move indicates to me is that they are worried about what is happening in the UK."
Sterling has now fallen about 18% against the dollar since the referendum to lows not seen since 1985.
However, the UK is not facing a "currency crisis", according to Gerard Lyons, the former chief economic adviser to Boris Johnson and a leading Brexit campaigner.
"There's no hard and fast rule, but you tend to know a currency crisis when you see it," Mr Lyons, who is now a strategist at Net Wealth Investments, told the BBC.
"Effectively a currency crisis is when it's seen as out of control and it starts to force policy to do things that are not in the best interests of the domestic economy."
He added that a fall in sterling was "inevitable, whatever the outcome of the referendum" because it had been one of the world's most overvalued currencies.


House prices rose 1.6% last month, according to the latest survey from the Halifax, with the annual rate of increase rising slightly to 8.5%.

The increase means the average house price has risen to Â£196,412.
The Halifax said demand for housing was being supported by several factors, including the improving economy, rising employment and low mortgage rates.
At the same time, it said supply remained "very tight" with a general shortage of properties for sale.


A new film showing Red Army soldiers outnumbered by invading Germans but battling on heroically has become part of the Kremlin's campaign to restore Russian pride.

State television showed Russian President Vladimir Putin watching the film last week, alongside Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, in the Central Asian leader's capital Astana.
The clear message was that Russia and Kazakhstan are maintaining Soviet-era bonds of friendship, despite tensions in other parts of the former USSR. But the film itself - Panfilov's 28 Men - is based on a communist myth.
The film depicts an heroic act of self-sacrifice outside Moscow in November 1941.
According to the Soviet mythology, 28 soldiers from the Red Army's 316th Rifle Division, mainly recruits from the Kazakh and Kyrgyz Soviet republics, stood unflinching against the advancing might of Hitler's Wehrmacht.
The men, from a larger division led by Maj Gen Ivan Panfilov, were all killed, but destroyed 18 German tanks before they fell.
The 28 were immortalised - posthumously decorated as Heroes of the Soviet Union - and Soviet children learnt about their last stand in school.
Yet historians say the story is not true.
An official Soviet investigation into the event, compiled in 1948, concluded that the story was the "invention" of a journalist from the Red Army's newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda. The reporter's account was at best exaggerated, and several of the men survived. The results of the probe were kept secret.
But the themes of the story chime with the Kremlin's worldview, and the state partly sponsored the new film.
The Kremlin promotes the idea of World War Two as a heroic victory that united the Soviet state against fascism - and still unites Russia today against a similar threat they say has resurfaced in Ukraine.
The USSR suffered the heaviest losses in the war - more than 20 million civilians and military - though scholars dispute the exact toll.
The film shows Kazakhs, Russians and other Russian speakers standing shoulder-to-shoulder to defend the Motherland. It echoes a Russian foreign policy concept: a Moscow-centred "Russian World" united by a common language.
When, in June last year, Russian State Archive director Sergei Mironenko, citing historical documents, said the story was in fact a myth, he earned a sharp rebuke from Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky.
Mr Mironenko was removed as head of the archive in March this year.
In February 2013, President Putin ordered a single history syllabus for schools, offering a standardised narrative. A new state "History" TV channel was launched that year too.
Supporters of Mr Putin's bid for a "canonical" history say it is needed in order to keep such a large state together. Yet critics see it as an attempt to impose one official version of the past.
Mr Putin and other officials have repeatedly talked about the need to counter the "falsification of history" or "rewriting history". They oppose interpretations of World War Two or other episodes of Soviet history that deviate from officially approved narratives.
Mr Putin's father was seriously wounded as a soldier on the Leningrad front.

Mr Medinsky, the culture minister, defended Panfilov's 28 Men, saying "even if this story was invented from start to finish, if there had been no Panfilov, if there had been nothing, this is a sacred legend that shouldn't be interfered with. People that do that are filthy scum."
It is not the first time Russian officials have suggested that certain chapters of Russian history are sacred.
In January 2014, independent liberal broadcaster Dozhd TV came under attack. It was accused of smearing the memory of WW2 veterans by asking whether residents of wartime Leningrad could have been saved by surrendering the city to Nazi forces.
The public discussion of WW2 history has also been curbed by a controversial 2014 law against the rehabilitation of Nazism.
Under this law, Vladimir Luzgin, a blogger from Perm region in the Urals, was fined 200,000 roubles ($3,200; Â£2,500) for reposting an article about the war on the Russian social network VK (VKontakte), the daily Kommersant reported in July.
The court ruled that Luzgin posted an article with knowingly false information about a joint invasion of Poland by German and Soviet forces on 1 September 1939.
According to the prosecutors, Luzgin realised that the text might instil in many people "a firm conviction about negative actions of the USSR" in the war.
The court said Luzgin had falsified history by stating "that the communists and Germany jointly attacked Poland, unleashing World War Two, or in other words, that Communism and Nazism co-operated honestly".
In September, Russia's Supreme Court ruled that the punishment of Luzgin was justified.
Nazi Germany and the USSR signed a non-aggression pact in August 1939 - the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. In a secret protocol, they agreed to carve up Poland between them.
Nazi troops invaded Poland on 1 September and Soviet troops, from the east, on 17 September.
Russia-Poland spat over WW2 cause
In another incident, last year, the authorities in Sverdlovsk region banned the works of two British historians - Antony Beevor and John Keegan - saying they were imbued with Nazi propaganda. The Vedomosti daily described (in Russian) the order to remove the books from public libraries as "full of nonsense from start to finish".
Promoted by the state and personally previewed by Mr Putin, Panfilov's 28 Men may well prove a box office hit when it comes out in November.
Many Russians may not know how the state embroidered the tale of Panfilov's men - but many may not care either.

Anglo American has reported a pre-tax loss of $5.5bn (£3.8bn) for 2015 as sinking commodity prices hit the mining giant.

That was more than double the loss reported in 2014 as the company took charges of $3.8bn due to falls in commodity prices.
Chief executive Mark Cutifani said the global economy had presented the mining industry with "significant challenges".
Anglo plans to sell assets worth $3bn to $4bn to repair its finances.
The disposals will include Kumba Iron Ore, Africa's biggest miner of the steel-making ingredient.
"The company has initiated a review to consider options to exit from KIO at the appropriate time, including a potential spin-out," Anglo said.
Mr Cutifani said that Anglo would sell its coal mining operations as well "at the right time, for the right value."
It said it was building its future around around copper, platinum and diamonds.
Anglo's diamond mining subsidiary De Beers plans to cut 189 positions in South Africa to reduce costs as demand for gems dips, the company said on Tuesday.
The company posted impairments of $5.7bn to reflect the impact of weaker prices on the value of its assets.
Shares opened more than 6% higher in London before losing ground to be down about 1% at 389.6p in afternoon trading. The stock has fluctuated wildly in recent weeks and has fallen more than two thirds over the past 12 months.
The results were better than expected but many analysts nevertheless said the underlying performance was not impressive.
Anglo is also suspending its dividend to conserve cash.
It has joined other mining groups including Rio Tinto, Glencore and Brazil's Vale in cutting dividend payouts to shareholders.
On Monday, Moody's cut Anglo's credit rating to junk status, marking a new low for the big global mining companies that are all grappling with plunging commodity prices.


A car worth £19,000 has been stolen from a yard at the back of a garage in the Scottish Borders.

The white Ford Focus RS, registration number SL59 HVF, was taken from Lawries Garage at St Boswells at 02:30 on Thursday.
The vehicle was driven north and was spotted in the Edinburgh area some time later.
Anyone who saw anything suspicious or may have seen the car being driven has been asked to contact police.


A UKIP AM has denied an accusation by a Cardiff Bay hotel that she smoked "recreational drugs" in her bedroom there.

Future Inns issued Michelle Brown a Â£250 charge, accusing her of causing a "strong smell" in her room that meant it could not be used for 24 hours.
A spokesman for Ms Brown denied the allegation of drug use.
He said the smell was caused by the AM smoking a strong tobacco product in the non-smoking room.
"It was an absent-minded mistake, and Michelle paid the resulting cleaning fee," the spokesman said.
The incident took place in May 2016 in the week following the North Wales AM's election to the Senedd for the very first time.
Ms Brown, who lives in Mostyn, Flintshire, stayed at the Future Inn hotel in Cardiff Bay from 9 to 11 May.
The complaint was made by the hotel following her departure on the Wednesday.
BBC Wales understands that the hotel accused the guest of smoking "recreational drugs" in her bedroom and said that "due to the strong smell in the room it cannot be used for 24 hours".
A spokesman for the AM said: "Michelle had recently spent a couple of nights at a hotel with smoking rooms, of which there are many across the UK, and regrettably forgot she was staying in a hotel without such rooms.
"It was an absent-minded mistake, and Michelle paid the resulting cleaning fee".
A spokesman for the hotel said: "Future Inns would like to confirm the illegal use of drugs on our premises at any time is not allowed.
"We do not, however, discuss these matters with third parties except as required by law enforcement authorities."

A Kenyan MP has asked women to withhold sex from their husbands until they register as voters for the 8 August elections.

Mishi Mboko, the women's representative for the coastal city of Mombasa, says it was the best strategy to shore up opposition votes.
"Women, this is the strategy you should adopt. It is the best. Deny them sex until they show you their voter's card," she said.
The registrations ends on 17 February.
Ms Mboko said sex was a powerful weapon and would encourage reluctant men to rush to register as voters in the exercise that began on Monday.
She said her husband would not be affected by the boycott as he had already registered, the Standard newspaper reports.
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta will be seeking a second term and is expected to be challenged by a candidate supported by an alliance of opposition parties, including Ms Mboko's ODM.
Ms Mboko said that the opposition alliance had a better chance of winning the elections if its supporters registered in huge numbers.
Calls for sex boycotts are common in Kenya. In 2009, women activists held a week-long sex strike to get then President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga and their allies to reconcile after falling out.


Wales warmed up for their two-Test summer tour with a 14-try victory over Welsh Premiership side RGC 1404 in Colwyn Bay.

Tyler Morgan and Cory Allen both scored a hat-trick of tries for Wales, who play Tonga on 17 June and Samoa on 24 June.
Five uncapped players started for an experimental Wales side, captained by Harlequins centre Jamie Roberts.
International caps were not awarded for the fixture at a sell-out Parc Eirias.
Two tries apiece from Ellis Jenkins and Cardiff Blues' Allen as well as Morgan's first touchdown put Wales in control before Afon Bagshaw crossed for RGC's opening score.
Newport Gwent Dragons centre Morgan scored a second try but the hosts responded through Tom Hughes, who crossed after intercepting a pass from Wales skipper Roberts.
Roberts made amends by scoring Wales' seventh try and although RGC hooker Evan Yardley replied, Morgan touched down for his third try which saw Wales pass the 50-point mark.
Wales made a host of changes at half-time and one of the replacements, wing Alex Cuthbert, scored the opening try of the second half with his first touch.
Cardiff Blues team-mate Anscombe, who kicked seven conversions, ran in for Wales' 10th try before further tries from Wasps flanker Thomas Young and a third from Allen.
Young and Cuthbert both scored their second tries to complete Wales' victory over the WRU National Cup winners.
Wales XV: Gareth Anscombe (Cardiff Blues); Keelan Giles (Ospreys), Tyler Morgan (Newport Gwent Dragons), Jamie Roberts (capt, Harlequins), Cory Allen (Cardiff Blues); Sam Davies (Ospreys), Aled Davies (Scarlets); Nicky Smith (Ospreys), Kristian Dacey (Cardiff Blues), Tomas Francis (Exeter Chiefs), Adam Beard (Ospreys), Cory Hill (Newport Gwent Dragons), Seb Davies (Cardiff Blues), Ellis Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Ollie Griffiths (Newport Gwent Dragons).
Replacements: Dillon Lewis (Cardiff Blues), Wyn Jones (Scarlets), Rhodri Jones (Ospreys), Gareth Thomas (Ospreys), Scott Baldwin (Ospreys), Ryan Elias (Scarlets), Scott Otten (Ospreys), Rory Thornton (Ospreys), Josh Navidi (Cardiff Blues), Aaron Shingler (Scarlets), Thomas Young (Wasps), Gareth Davies (Scarlets), Tomos Williams (Cardiff Blues), Owen Williams (Leicester Tigers), Scott Williams (Scarlets), Alex Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues), Steffan Evans (Scarlets), Rhys Patchell (Scarlets).


Snowdonia's renowned natural beauty is to play a starring role in a Hollywood film featuring Jude Law.

Filming for Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur will begin on Monday and last for six days, Snowdonia National Park Authority has confirmed.
The Guy Ritchie film will star Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur and Jude Law as the villain Vortigern.
Velocity Productions will be filming in and around Capel Curig, Nant Gwynant and Pen y Gwryd.
Meanwhile, Bangor University has just extended its archive about Arthur after Flintshire council donated its Arthurian Collection.


The number of unwanted reptiles being abandoned has risen by a third in three years, according to the RSPCA.

Abandoned cases seen by the charity include a desert iguana and a pair of bearded dragons.
Keith Simpson-Wells from the RSPCA Reptile Rehoming Centre in Brighton says people don't know enough about how to keep the animals.
"People don't do their research completely on the animal before they get it and I think sometimes they can become scared of the animal," he said.
In 2011 the RSPCA collected 1,390 reptiles. By 2014 the number had increased to 1,853.

Kris Doolan has stressed the importance to Partick Thistle of holding on to Alan Archibald after a failed approach from English club Shrewsbury Town.

Manager Archibald has guided the Jags to finishes of 10th, ninth and eighth over the last three campaigns.
"On and off the pitch, he's had a big influence," striker Doolan told BBC Scotland.
"It's no surprise that people are taking notice of that and hopefully we can keep hold of him."
Archibald is no longer on the short-list for the managerial vacancy at English League One outfit Shrewsbury and Doolan is pleased the 38-year-old decided he had "unfinished business" at Firhill.
"Alan is a massive figure round the club and he symbolises all that's good about Partick Thistle," he said.
"He's built something here that's long-lasting."
Doolan is unconcerned about his own lack of league goals so far this season.
The 29-year-old scored against Airdrieonians in the Scottish League Cup in August, but none have followed in the Premiership.
"I'm there to score goals and that's what I've done year in, year out," said Doolan.
"You pull on your experience from years gone past and there have always been times when you haven't scored - it's nothing to panic about."
Doolan's strike-rate has reached double figures in each of his last six years at Firhill.
The former Auchinleck Talbot man had only scored twice at this stage last season but went on to net another 12 before the end of the 2015-16 campaign.
Thistle are still waiting on their first Premiership win since beating Inverness Caledonian Thistle on the opening day of the league season.
In what is their fourth consecutive season in the top flight, the Maryhill men are 11th in the Premiership - level on six points with bottom club Dundee - but Doolan feels it is far too early to read anything into that position.
"Look at the league table; it's so tight," he said ahead of the weekend game with Ross County.
"One win and the full outlook of the season can change, so we're going into Saturday with high hopes.
"We've set standards across the years that we've been in the Premier League and it's up to us to maintain those standards and surpass them.
"It's testament to the club that now we're not considered the yo-yo team."


Shortly after his swearing-in as defence secretary, Chuck Hagel has said the US should engage with the world rather than dictate to it.

Mr Hagel told Pentagon employees that the US must lead with its allies.
He made the remarks a day after the Senate approved his appointment following a bruising nomination battle.
Also on Wednesday, the Senate intelligence committee delayed a vote on whether to approve President Barack Obama's nominee for CIA director.
Mr Hagel was confirmed by a 58-41 vote after Republicans stalled his nomination, questioning his past positions on Israel and Iran and his qualification for the job.
He replaces Leon Panetta, who was confirmed unanimously in June 2011.
In 15 minutes of remarks at the Pentagon, Mr Hagel called for the US to continue building strong relationships with old and new allies.
"We can't dictate to the world, but we should engage with the world," said the nation's 24th defence secretary.
By Andrew NorthSouth Asia correspondent
He added that the US was a "force for good" and that the US military should use its resources around the globe "wisely".
The former Republican Nebraska senator arrives at the Pentagon two days before $46bn (Â£30bn) in across-the-board cuts are set to hit the military.
On the budget cuts, Mr Hagel thanked staff for working to figure out how to deal with the reductions. But he said the real danger was the "uncertainty of planning, the uncertainty of commitment".
The new defence secretary also said he was committed to making sure that both US troops and civilian workers were treated fairly and equitably.
Two weeks ago, Republicans delayed a vote on Mr Hagel's confirmation.
But they dropped the filibuster stalling tactic, the first time it had ever been used to delay confirmation of a defence secretary, on Tuesday after a week-long recess.
President Barack Obama's Democratic Party holds a 55-45 edge in the chamber, and Mr Hagel ultimately only needed 50 votes to be confirmed in the final vote.
Republican Senators Thad Cochran, Rand Paul, Richard Shelby and Mike Johanns voted in favour of Mr Hagel's appointment.
Also on Wednesday, the Senate intelligence committee delayed a vote on White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan, whom Mr Obama has nominated as the next director of the CIA.
The panel's top-ranking Republican, Senator Saxby Chambliss, said a vote would be rescheduled for Tuesday but did not explain why it had been delayed.
Meanwhile, some Democrats have expressed concern over the government's use of unmanned drones to carry out "targeted killings", and have suggested a vote on Mr Brennan should be delayed until the committee can review certain secret documents relating to the programme.


A man jailed for faking his own death in a canoe accident to claim insurance money is at the centre of a new police probe.

John Darwin, of Seaton Carew, Teesside, faked his own death in 2002 so his then-wife Anne could claim £500,000.
Darwin, 63, was jailed for six years in 2008 for insurance fraud and served three years.
Police said he was now being probed again under the Proceeds of Crime Act regarding possible "undeclared assets".
A spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said a hearing was being held on 8 April at Teesside Crown Court.
Darwin was reported missing in a canoe off the Teesside coast in March 2002.
His wife collected more than £500,000 in life insurance payouts, while he hid in their home, allowing their two sons to think he was dead.
In December 2007, Darwin walked into a London police station, claiming he had amnesia, and was reunited with his stunned sons.
His wife, who had fled with him to Panama, had initially claimed to be surprised until a photograph emerged of them posing together after his supposed death.
She was later jailed for six-and-a-half-years for fraud and money-laundering.
After the pair were jailed, assets including a fourth-floor apartment in Panama City and an overgrown plot of land near the artificial Lake Gatun were seized and sold.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) was granted a confiscation order to retrieve the money Mrs Darwin received from her insurance companies and pension funds.
All the money held in accounts in the UK and Panama, which totalled about £9,000, was also seized.
A Cleveland Police spokesman said: "We can confirm that the regional asset recovery team is conducting an investigation under the Proceeds of Crime Act."


Olympique Lyonnais and Norway striker Ada Hegerberg has been crowned BBC Women's Footballer of the Year 2017.

Thousands of fans from across the world cast their votes as the 21-year-old beat second-placed Brazil forward Marta and third-placed Canada captain Christine Sinclair.
The other nominees on the five-player shortlist for the BBC World Service award were Sweden keeper Hedvig Lindahl and Germany's Melanie Behringer.
"Wow, it's a surprise," said Hegerberg.
"It's a huge honour to win, with such big-name footballers nominated," added the striker, whose club will seek to retain their Champions League title - to complete back-to-back trebles - when they face Paris St-Germain in Thursday's all-French final in Cardiff.
"It's really special, so many people from different cultures and countries voting for this trophy, it's a huge motivation in itself."
An emotional Hegerberg was presented with the award by her sister Andrine, a midfielder for Birmingham City and Norway, in front of her Olympique Lyonnais team-mates in France.
"She [Andrine] has been so important for me through my career, we've been supporting and pushing each other and my success is all for the both of us," she said.
"She's my best friend and really, I'm totally blown away."

The award follows a glittering year for the striker, who played a big part in her French club's treble-winning season in 2016 with 33 league goals and 13 Champions League goals.
She scored the opener in last year's Champions League final against German side Wolfsburg and achieved her dream of lifting the trophy when they won 4-3 on penalties, adding the European crown to their Coupe de France and Division 1 titles.
And she was the only player to score more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo in Uefa competitions in 2016, netting 18 compared to the Real Madrid and Portugal forward's 17.
She is close to repeating last year's success this term as Lyon have already sealed the French league title and the cup - with Hegerberg scoring the winning penalty in the shootout against Paris St-Germain in this month's final.
But it is the Champions League victory that really made a big impression on her.
"It's the most important thing you can win in football, the highest trophy at club level. Winning it was such a fantastic feeling, a much bigger feeling than I thought it would be," she said.
"I dreamed of it as a little kid, it's a huge challenge and we showed we were capable of doing it."
Her sister Andrine, who has played alongside her sister at clubs in Norway and Germany and also at international level, said Hegerberg's winning mentality is one of the things that makes her special.
"She can score from any position on the pitch," Andrine, 23, said. "It's always dangerous when she has the ball."
Hegerberg is the third winner of this BBC World Service award, following Nigeria forward Asisat Oshoala in 2015 and Scotland midfielder Kim Little in 2016.
Brazil captain Marta, nominated for a second time, was second in the vote after leading her country to fourth place at their home Olympics at Rio 2016, while Canada captain Sinclair was third following back-to-back Olympic bronze medals.


More than half (53%) of UK teaching assistants (TAs) have experienced physical violence at school in the past year, a poll by Unison has found.

The survey of more than 8,000 TAs found three-quarters (76%) had witnessed some form of physical violence.
More than half (53%) had experienced, and 73% had witnessed, verbal threats at school.
Ministers say no-one should have to work in fear of violence or harassment, in or outside school or online.
Unison surveyed 14,514 members who work in school support roles - such as technicians, administrative staff, caterers, cleaners, and librarians. Of these, 8,211 worked as teaching or classroom assistants.
It found that three-fifths (60%) of TAs had experienced - and 69% had witnessed - other verbal abuse at school and more than a third (38%) had experienced - 79% had witnessed - bullying at school.
Unison said its study showed that teaching assistants were facing a "barrage" of verbal threats and abuse in their job.
The survey of those in other support roles found:
The union's head of education, Jon Richards, said the report painted a "grim picture".
"Lessons couldn't go ahead without teaching assistants and staff should not have to put up with violence and abuse in the classroom. These are not just occasional incidents.
"Abuse is becoming a regular and alarming occurrence with more than half of teaching assistants coming across violent behaviour in the classroom, the playground or at the school gates.
"A lack of resources means schools are unable to address behavioural issues.
"Dealing with these problems can dominate the day when time could be better spent supporting children's learning."
Unison called on school governors and head teachers to do more to manage the behaviour of unruly and disruptive pupils to minimise the impact in the classroom and to provide full support to staff encountering violence.
The Department for Education said Education Secretary Nicky Morgan had addressed the issue at the annual conference of the NASUWT over Easter, saying: "I want to be absolutely clear, that no teacher should ever have to work in fear of violence or harassment, either in school, outside of school, or online.
"Teachers are the pinnacle of the community, they are charged with the greatest of responsibilities, moulding the next generation, and that means we owe it to you to treat you with the greatest of respect.
"Yes, I absolutely want parents to be involved in their children's education and if they're unhappy I want them to be able to demand more of schools.
"But if their actions spill over into abuse or violence, they should expect to be dealt with severely. Because there is never an excuse to threaten, harass or attack a teacher."


The Football Association's failure to reform is to be debated at the House of Commons next week after a motion of 'no confidence' in the governing body.

The Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee will examine whether the FA can "comply fully with its duties".
Whether reform is impossible within the FA's structure will be looked at on 9 February and new laws may be proposed.
In July, sports minister Tracey Crouch said the FA would lose its £30m to £40m of public funding if it did not reform.
Then, in December, Crouch said that the government would bring in legislation to force through reforms if the governing body did not make changes itself.
Committee chairman Damian Collins MP revealed on Friday that the FA had been given six months to meet the government guidance on best practice for sports governance but had failed to do so.
That guidance called for things such as a move towards gender equality on boards, more independent oversight, more accountability and term limits for office bearers.
Collins said: "We do not believe the FA will comply voluntarily: it can survive easily without the government's contribution of money to grassroots sport, and there are powerful vested interests that refuse to accept the right of all those involved in football to play a role in the governance of the sport.
"We are therefore preparing a draft bill to bring the structure of the FA, especially its board and council, more into line with modern company practice and the government's guidelines for sports bodies."
"We are aware of the discussions next week. The government announced a code for governance for sports' governing bodies last year and we are working to their timeline for implementation later in the year.
"Football, like all sports, is following due process and we remain committed to working with the government towards compliance with the code."

The motion comes after five former FA executives said the governing body had failed to "self-reform".
In a letter to committee chairman Collins, David Bernstein, David Davies, Greg Dyke, Alex Horne and David Triesman described it as outdated, held back by "elderly white men" and unable to counter the power of the Premier League.
Among the points made by the five former FA executives are:
Collins responded by saying the committee "shares your concern" and confirmed a draft bill to deliver the necessary reform was being prepared.
And in an interview with the BBC in December, the committee chairman added that: "We feel now that time has run out. We no longer have any confidence that the FA can or will reform itself."
While Collins and his select committee may draft legislation, it would still need government backing for it to be passed - and previous governments have not previously showed signs of supporting any new law to enforce reform.
Furthermore, football's world governing body Fifa has rules stating football associations must be "independent and avoid any form of political interference".
Fifa has taken action on government's interfering in the affairs of other football associations in the past.

The committee is ratcheting up the pressure by bringing this debate. It has grown weary of the FA failing, as it sees it, to modernise sufficiently.
Football's own parliament, the FA Council, is seen as grossly unrepresentative of those involved in the game. The FA board has one female representative in Heather Rabbatts but the hope is that will soon change - two additional women are expected to join an expanded 14-person board by the summer.
Negotiations and implementing reforms within the Council may be trickier, though.
FA officials will sit down with the government in April to show their plans and a timeline for achieving them, as mandated by last year's Code of Sports Governance. At risk is their funding and, potentially, financial guarantees from Whitehall to bid for future World Cups or the European Championship.
Next week's debate will undoubtedly antagonise relations between the FA and MPs.
Privately, there's a degree of frustration and anger within Wembley over being labelled as, effectively, not fit for purpose. To that end, it hasn't gone unnoticed by some that the committee of MPs calling for change currently constitutes one woman, 10 men and has no black and minority ethnic representatives.
Senior figures do admit there is plenty of work to be done to improve diversity within English football governance. But they are also proud - and will defend - their work on inclusion, investing money, improving grassroots facilities and promoting the sport at all levels.


When news of the missing EgyptAir flight emerged on Thursday morning people began sharing details of the unfolding story - but not everything was genuine.

Flight MS804 was en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 passengers and crew when it vanished.
EgyptAir posted on Twitter that the plane had "disappeared from radar".
This prompted a response on social media from someone claiming to have a relative on board.
A Twitter user called "Perro" posted a photo purporting to be of his brother Alfonso, prompting several retweets from fellow users.
"My brother traveled (sic) there... please help me," he wrote.
But a Google reverse image search showed that the photograph had been used before online, and had been linked to a series of different Twitter handles.
One user distorted the same picture and tweeted: "My mom was on the plane. I'm afraid. Tell me what I have to do please."
Other Twitter users also claimed to have missing relatives using the hashtags #EgyptAir and #MS804.
The hoax posts came from Twitter accounts in Mexico and there is speculation they may have been linked to the same person.
Montel Williams tweeted: "It takes a sick and twisted person to fake having family aboard a crashed airplane. #MS804 @Support plz ban him."
It is unclear exactly where the photo is from and who the man pictured is, but it has been circulating online since December 2015, sometimes in reference to a dispute at a shopping centre in Mexico.
As speculation grew over what happened to the EgyptAir flight more incorrect information was being shared.
A video on the website viral-videos.today claimed to show a ball of fire supposedly spotted by witnesses around the time the jet disappeared.
The footage was tweeted by @githii with the post: "SAD.... A woman recorded this ball of fire in the sky, believed to be #EgyptAir #MS804".
It was also picked up and included in a news report by 7 News Sydney, which tweeted: "Residents of Greek Island claim they saw a ball of fire in the sky around the time #MS804 disappeared.@ChrisReason7"
But the fireball was in fact footage recorded last year in California.
The tweet has since been removed from 7 News Sydney's account.

A man who was shot in the head through a bathroom door was murdered as part of a "criminal feud", police have said.

Stephen Carson, 28, was shot in front of his family in a house at Walmer Street in the Ormeau Road area at about 22:45 GMT on Thursday.
Police said he was having a meal with his partner and nine-year-old son when "at least three men carrying a hammer and a shotgun burst into the house".
After a confrontation, Mr Carson ran into a downstairs bathroom.
He was shot through the door of the bathroom.
Following the attack, Mr Carson was taken to hospital, where he died from a fatal head wound.
The officer leading the investigation, Det Supt Kevin Geddes, said the murder was "brutal and cold-blooded".
"Our main line of enquiry, but not our only line of enquiry, is that Stephen was shot as part of a criminal feud," he said.
"We do not believe at this stage there was any paramilitary involvement nor do we believe this was sectarian."
He said Mr Carson was known to police but had been trying to get his life together.
Detectives are also investigating a possible link to the murder of pizza delivery driver Kieran McManus in west Belfast almost three years ago.
In April 2013, Mr McManus was shot a number of times at close range in a car park outside the pizza shop where he worked on Kennedy Way.
Police have appealed for information about the shooting.
Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness condemned those responsible for the murder and said it was "terrible news".


A new TV show has got closer to animals than ever before.

12 January 2017 Last updated at 07:55 GMT
Filmmakers from Spy in the Wild use robot animals to spy on real animals in the wild.
These robotic animals look like the real thing to convince the animals around them to carry on as normal.
The robots are also able to copy animal behaviours and are fitted with small cameras hidden in their eyes so they can film animals behaving naturally in the wild.
Ricky caught up with camera operator of the show to find out more.
The first episode of Spy in the Wild is at 8pm on BBC1 on 12 January.


Students who filmed themselves killing an injured fox cub and then posted the footage on social media have been suspended, their college has confirmed.

The cub was hit by a vehicle close to Hartpury College in Gloucestershire.
One of the students, who was training to be a gamekeeper, dispatched the cub with a knife on Monday to prevent it from suffering, police said.
The act of killing was not cruel but sharing the footage on Snapchat was "unacceptable", the college said.
An online petition calling for the students involved to be excluded from the college has attracted more than 2,000 signatures.
The college said earlier it was following its disciplinary procedures and the students had been suspended from the college.
It said further action would be taken once it had concluded its investigations.
The college said it had also received threats on social media and in response had decided to cancel an Open Farm Sunday event at the college amid safety fears.
In a statement the college said: "The fox cub was injured in a road traffic accident involving some of our students.
"One of the students acted to dispatch the injured fox to cease its suffering.
"The college and the police are satisfied that the decision to end the fox's life was made only with the intention to end its suffering and this was not an act of animal cruelty."
A spokesman said the filming and sharing of the death on social media had made the incident "even more distressing".
"We consider this to be completely unacceptable and have made this clear to our students," he said.
The RSPCA said it was continuing to investigate the death.


A Cherokee girl has been returned to her adoptive parents, ending a bitter custody battle that raised questions of parental and Native American rights.

Veronica, four, was handed over to the South Carolina couple by her birth father as his appeal bid failed.
Oklahoma's Supreme Court bowed out of the case late on Monday, effectively validating her adoption.
The Cherokee Nation, to which the girl's birth father belongs, had insisted she would stay with the tribe.
Veronica was transferred on Monday night to Matt and Melanie Capobianco, who came to Oklahoma last month insisting they would not go back to their home in Charleston, South Carolina, without the girl.
"She's safely in her parents' arms," said Jessica Munday, a spokeswoman for the Capobiancos.
Veronica was given up for adoption by her non-Cherokee birth mother, Christina Maldonado, during pregnancy. Ms Maldonado had become estranged from the girl's biological father, Dusten Brown.
Veronica lived with the Capobiancos from her birth in September 2009.
But when she was 27 months old, Mr Brown won her back.
He was awarded custody under the Indian Child Welfare Act, which seeks to grant Native American families priority in adoptions of children born to members of any tribe.
But in June this year, the US Supreme Court ruled that law did not apply in this case because Mr Brown had been absent from Veronica's life and had not previously had custody of the child.
While it considered the case, Oklahoma's Supreme Court imposed a temporary order keeping Veronica with Mr Brown and his family.
But late on Monday, the court lifted that order and bowed out, without explaining its decision.
Its move left in place a South Carolina court order validating the adoption.
In a statement, Cherokee Nation Attorney General Todd Hembree said Mr Brown and his family had packed clothes and toys for Veronica on Monday before she was driven to the Capobiancos, a short distance away.
Mr Hembree said that he hoped "the Capobiancos would honour their word that Dusten will be allowed to remain an important part of Veronica's life".
Based in Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation is the largest of three tribes considered descendants of the Cherokee people in the south-eastern part of the country, before their forcible relocation by the US government in the 1830s.
Hundreds of tribes operate at various levels of semi-autonomy from the US, even using separate court systems.


Wales football fans were the fourth best-behaved in Europe last year, according to new rankings.

Uefa has praised the behaviour of the Welsh supporters as the team reached the semi-final of Euro 2016 in France.
However, the rankings take into account matches played in both international and domestic club competitions.
Norway, Iceland and Estonia came ahead of Wales in the Fair Play Rankings, which include 45 countries.
The Football Association of Wales commended the nation's fans, saying their good behaviour at last year's championship was "well-documented".


Hartlepool United have signed defender Aristote Nsiala from League Two rivals Grimsby Town.

The 24-year-old DR Congo international joined the Mariners in 2014 from Southport.
The former Everton trainee has also had spells with Macclesfield and Accrington Stanley, as well as playing in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, winger Nathan Thomas, 21, has agreed a new contract with Pools, having scored five times in 22 games since his January arrival.
Nsiala is the sixth new signing so far this summer.

The world's most detailed scan of the brain's internal wiring has been produced by scientists at Cardiff University.

The MRI machine reveals the fibres which carry all the brain's thought processes.
It's been done in Cardiff, Nottingham, Cambridge and Stockport, as well as London England and London Ontario.
Doctors hope it will help increase understanding of a range of neurological disorders and could be used instead of invasive biopsies.
I volunteered for the project - not the first time my brain has been scanned.
In 2006, it was a particular honour to be scanned by the late Sir Peter Mansfield, who shared a Nobel prize for his work on developing Magnetic Resonance Imaging, one of the most important breakthroughs in medicine.
He scanned me using Nottingham University's powerful new 7 Tesla scanner. When we looked at the crisp, high resolution images, he told me: "I'm a physicist, so don't ask me to tell you to whether there's anything amiss with your brain - you'd need a neurologist for that."
I was the first UK Biobank volunteer to have their brain and other organs imaged as part of the world's biggest scanning project.
More recently, I had my brain scanned while playing computer games, as part of research into the effects of sleep deprivation on cognition.
So my visit to the Cardiff University's Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) held no particular concerns.
The scan took around 45 minutes and seemed unremarkable.
A neurologist was on hand to reassure me my brain looked normal.
My family quipped that they were happy that a brain had been found inside my thick skull.
But nothing could have prepared me for the spectacular images produced by the team at Cardiff, along with engineers from Siemens in Germany and the United States.
The scan shows fibres in my white matter called axons. These are the brain's wiring, which carry billions of electrical signals.
Not only does the scan show the direction of the messaging, but also the density of the brain's wiring.
Another volunteer to be scanned was Sian Rowlands who has multiple sclerosis.
Like me, she is used to seeing images of her brain, but found the new scan "amazing".
Conventional scans clearly show lesions - areas of damage - in the brain of MS patients.
But this advanced scan, showing axonal density, can help explain how the lesions affect motor and cognitive pathways - which can trigger Sian's movement problems and extreme fatigue.
Prof Derek Jones, CUBRIC's director, said it was like getting hold of the Hubble telescope when you've been using binoculars.
"The promise for researchers is that we can start to look at structure and function together for the first time," he said.
The extraordinary images produced in Cardiff are the result of a special MRI scanner - one of only three in the world.
The scanner itself is not especially powerful, but its ability to vary its magnetic field rapidly with position means the scientists can map the wires - the axons - so thinly it would take 50 of them to match the thickness of a human hair.
The scanner is being used for research into many neurological conditions including MS, schizophrenia, dementia and epilepsy.
My thanks to Sian, Derek and all the team at CUBRIC.

An estimated 48,000 people who died last year experienced poor care when dying, says a report from seven charities including Macmillan.

This is due to too many people dying in hospital, rather than at home or in other settings, it says, where they would prefer to be.
The charities' report calls on the government to set out how they are going to improve end-of-life care.
NHS England said instances of poor care should be taken seriously.
And it said a recent survey found that three-quarters of bereaved people rated the overall quality of end-of-life care for their relative as 'good' or 'better'.
The report, produced by Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Cicely Saunders Institute, Hospice UK, Motor Neurone Disease Association, National Council of Palliative Care and Sue Ryder, details the way in which dying people are currently failed by the system.
It says some people are left unsupported at home at the end of their lives and many families receive no advice on how to care for their dying relatives.
This can lead to people being admitted to hospital in an emergency when they are seriously ill.
The report - On the Brink: The Future of End of Life Care - said this is putting extra pressure on the NHS resources - costing an average of Â£4,500 per person who dies in hospital and accounting for nearly three million bed days for people at the very end of their lives.
In a national survey of bereaved people, 10% of carers rated their loved one's care as 'poor' in the last three months of their life - equivalent to 48,000 people in 2015.
Although a recent survey of bereaved carers found that just 3% of people wanted to die in hospital, 220,000 out of 470,000 people died in hospital in 2014.
Lynda Thomas, chief executive of Macmillan Cancer Support, speaking on behalf of the coalition of charities, said: "People at the end of life should be given choice over important issues such as where they spend their final days, and sadly we know that this isn't always the case.
"Too often we hear of people being marooned in hospital, because they are not getting the right care at home. Nobody wants to see this happen as it is an appalling situation for the individual and puts strain on the health service."
She said a review of choice at the end of life, which was published last year, was still awaiting a government response.
An NHS England spokesman said a separate international comparison found that the UK leads the world in end-of-life care.
"However, any instances of poor care should be taken seriously and we want to continue improving people's experience of care, which is why we are working with other agencies and charities to support local commissioners to meet the needs of their local populations."


Tammy Abraham scored his second goal in two Bristol City games to help the Championship side overcome League Two club Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Cup.

The Chelsea loanee's neat turn and low finish in the first half was enough to send the visitors into round two.
The hosts thought they had levelled but Adebayo Akinfenwa was ruled offside.
Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth, missing players through injury, had named himself on the bench but was an unused substitute as his side suffered defeat.

A photo of a pig resting in the living room has not put off potential buyers of a one-bedroom house in Ipswich.

The animal, a pet of the current owner, was pictured resting its head on a sofa in the brochure for the property off Britannia Road.
It proved popular on social media sites, with some people asking whether the pig was included in the sale.
Estate agents Keystone said the house sold for more than the asking price of Â£100,000.
Jonathan Webb, director of Keystone, said his firm started advertising the house in mid-August and sold the house within 10 days.
He said: "We went with the strategy of not showing Pog in the pictures.
"The vendor's very happy and Pog's off to pastures new."
Estate agents Connells said the photo including the pig was put up on its website "in error and has since been removed".  The house was up for sale with several estate agents.


A total of 10 candidates made the cut for the first televised Republican debate in the 2016 presidential race - but the focus was always going to be on frontrunner Donald Trump.

The billionaire businessman has dominated headlines since descending on an escalator in Trump Tower, New York, to announce his candidacy in June.
Thursday's debate offered his rivals a chance to close the gap on the outspoken populist - but would they seize the opportunity?
First they were forced to stand around looking awkward while the Fox News presenters waited for the green light.
Once the beauty pageant was over, it was presenter Megyn Kelly who took aim at Mr Trump, asking him about derogatory comments he's made in the past about women.
Mr Trump was having none of it though, insisting he'd only taken issue with one woman - liberal actress Rosie O'Donnell - before rallying against political correctness. The crowd loved it.
Ms O'Donnell, presumably watching at home, was less enthused.
Each of the candidates eventually got a chance to speak, although some of them took a less obvious line than others - like neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
Jeb Bush, the early frontrunner who has slipped behind Mr Trump in recent polls, was eager to point out he was more than just another Bush. Unfortunately, he chose slightly ambiguous language.
The audience were still scratching their heads when Ted Cruz popped up to say what America really needed was its own version of Egyptian strongman Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, which struck some as a bit odd.
Mr Trump then reappeared to clarify his relationship with Democrat rival Hillary Clinton. Sure, he'd spoken to her husband on the phone and given money to her in the past, he told the audience, but he had an explanation.
Around this point, a few of the candidates were finding it hard to get a word in. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker looked a little lost and Ben Carson seemed to have disappeared.
Chris Christie and Rand Paul, however, were determined to be heard and went into battle against each other over mass surveillance and fighting terrorism. It got pretty personal pretty quickly.
While the others caught their breath, Mr Trump returned to talk about building a wall along America's border with Mexico to tackle illegal immigrants.
This is a favoured topic for the businessman but it was the first time he'd mentioned including "a big beautiful door" on the wall to let legal immigrants through.
Earlier in the night, Rick Perry had been forced to deny saying "Ronald Raven" in the second-tier Republican debate - sending Twitter's meme-makers into meltdown.
So, did anyone manage to deliver a fatal blow? We'll have to wait for the next round of polls to find out.
Meanwhile, in the blue corner...


Ten-men Leyton Orient suffered their 16th home league defeat of the season as Wycombe won at the Football League's bottom club.

The home side had Tom Parkes sent off after 28 minutes before newly-appointed manager Omer Riza was sent to the stand for verbal abuse at referee Charles Breakspear as the teams returned for the second half.
It was 11 defining first-half minutes that proved decisive in the final outcome.
Orient had looked the better side until defender Parkes was shown a red card for a high challenge on Garry Thompson.
The Chairboys then netted twice in two minutes. An intended clearance by the home side struck defender Michael Collins and the ball rebounded to the unmarked Matt Bloomfield who accepted a simple chance to open the scoring after 37 minutes.
Then, shortly afterwards, Orient's Jens Janse and his goalkeeper Sam Sargeant collided and Weston pounced on the loose ball to double the lead.
The visitors coasted through the second half to comfortably protect their lead.

An Australian woman and her three sons have been rescued after spending a freezing night on a mountain in Japan.

The four were reported missing late on Monday after failing to return to the popular Nozawa Onsen ski resort on Mount Kenashi.
They were rescued about 08:40 local time on Tuesday, Japanese media said.
It is understood the woman, aged in her 50s, her two adult sons and a younger son dug themselves into a snow hole for shelter.
None appeared to be seriously injured, local media quoted police as saying.
"The four were shaking considerably when found," a rescuer told broadcaster NHK.
"But after providing them with food and hot water, they stopped shaking. They barely survived as they spent the night without much on them. Not moving around must have helped a great deal."
Authorities began searching for the family after they managed to post a message on Facebook calling for help, TV Asahi reported.
Police said the four were unable to descend from the 1,649m mountain, 200km (125 miles) north-west of Tokyo, after a day of skiing.
Temperatures dropped as low as -10C during the night, following three days of heavy snowfall, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation said.
Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed it had been in contact with officials in Japan.


Somerset's bowlers toppled Yorkshire's middle order to leave the the champions on the brink of following on at Taunton, despite Adam Lyth's century.

The visitors resumed on 127-1 and Lyth reached his ton, before driving Lewis Gregory to first slip for 106.
After tea, Yorkshire lost five wickets for 11 runs as they collapsed to 237-9.
Steven Paterson and Jack Brooks' 69-run last-wicket stand helped the away side to 306-9, still needing another 107 runs to avoid the follow-on.
Lyth's impressive second first-class century of the season included 12 fours and three sixes, but his departure left the visitors struggling.
Yorkshire resumed the final session at 16:45 BST, with 30 overs to play in the day, on 213-4 but Tim Groenewald produced a terrific spell of bowling.
After Gregory had Jack Leaning caught behind and Adil Rashid was run out, Groenewald induced edges from Gary Ballance and Liam Plunkett and bowled Andy Hodd to leave the visitors in shock.
Despite Patterson (32 not out) and Brooks (34 not out) holding off the hosts bowlers for the remainder of the day, Somerset will be looking to push for victory on the final day.


Ex-NBA basketball player Lamar Odom is being treated in hospital after being found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada, authorities have said.

Police were called to Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada, after he was found unresponsive on Tuesday.
The American had to be driven to hospital because he was too tall to be airlifted in a helicopter.
Mr Odom, 35, has played basketball for Miami, Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers.
He also played for the US in the 2004 Athens Olympics, winning the bronze medal.
His condition is unknown but well-wishers tweeted their support following the news.
Mr Odom, who was married to reality television star Khloe Kardashian, has long struggled with alcohol and drug addiction.
He was involved in a drink-driving case in 2013 and was suspended from the NBA for violating its anti-drug policy in 2000.
He and Ms Kardashian were married in 2009 in a ceremony that was taped for US television network E!.
They divorced in 2013.
Odom won the NBA championship with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010 and was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2011. He last played in the NBA in 2013 with the Clippers.


The death of a whale that became stranded on a Norfolk beach was "probably the best outcome" for the creature's welfare, an expert has said.

The sperm whale was found at about 07:30 GMT at Hunstanton on Thursday. Rescuers kept the bull comfortable and hoped it would refloat when the tide came in, but it died at about 20:00.
Scientist Rob Deaville said it had "died fairly quickly" and there would have been little chance of saving it.
His team examined the whale earlier.
Samples taken from the carcass will now be taken to a laboratory for testing.
It is the 30th sperm whale to have died this year after becoming stranded on beaches in northern Europe and the east coast of England.

They are thought to have all been from the same bachelor pod.
Marine conservationists said it was possible the male whales, which normally live off the west coast of Norway, could have taken a wrong turn into the North Sea, while heading south to find females or been lured by food.
Mr Deaville, from the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme - which examines all whale, dolphin and porpoise strandings in the UK - took samples from the Hunstanton earlier.
Beached whale: How the story unfolded
He said it could takes months to "try and work out why these whales have come into the North Sea in the first place".
"There are many possible reasons and we're keeping a very open mind about the whole investigation."
"This is the question everyone is asking."
But Mr Deaville, who has examined all six sperm whales that washed up on the east coast, says the answer may never be known.
"We'll be working very closely with our German, Dutch and French colleagues, gathering data about what might have been going on in the north Atlantic to potentially - potentially - bring them into the North Sea."
There are currently two schools of thought, he says:
The second theory is "more worrying because that would suggest there's a systemic problem out there in the north Atlantic," Mr Deaville says.
"If that's the case this isn't the end of what we might see.
"Potentially there'll be more coming in, and that is more concerning. I hope that isn't the case.
"In a way the first is the better outcome because that would suggest there's a finite number of whales in the North Sea."
Mr Deaville, who arrived at the beach between Old Hunstanton and Holme-next-the-Sea moments after the whale died, said seeing the 14m-long (46ft) bull had "quite an emotional impact" on him.
"This dim shape appeared out of the gloom. You got closer and closer and there was this whale, lying on its side on the sand... it had been alive just an hour earlier."
Asked if the whale had suffered, he said: "No doubt it probably was suffering on shore, but it was probably very compromised by being stranded for such a long time.
"There would be no chance of being refloated or rescued, which is what a lot of people hoped would happen - and it wouldn't have been a good outcome here.
"So probably the best outcome in terms of the welfare of the whale is that it died fairly quickly."
