A number of early episodes of Doctor Who, which were believed to have been permanently lost, have been returned to the BBC.

BBC Worldwide is expected to confirm the find at a press screening in London later this week.
It follows weeks of speculation that some lost episodes had been located.
A total of 106 episodes featuring the first two actors to play the Doctor, William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton, are currently missing.
The BBC destroyed many of the sci-fi drama's original transmission tapes in the 1960s and 1970s.
However, the majority of the episodes had been transferred on to film for foreign broadcasters. It is often these prints found in other countries that are the source of retrieved episodes.
In 1991, all four instalments of the Patrick Troughton adventure The Tomb of the Cybermen were discovered in Hong Kong.
The latest find comes as Doctor Who celebrates its 50th birthday. A special episode featuring the current Doctor Matt Smith and his predecessor David Tennant will be shown on the programme's anniversary on 23 November.
A raft of other programming to celebrate the long-running drama was also recently announced by the BBC.
Details of how fans will be able to watch the recovered episodes are also expected to be revealed later this week.


A man arrested as part of a Police Service of Northern Ireland investigation into drugs supply has been charged.

The 41-year-old was detained in England on Wednesday and taken to Belfast for questioning.
A tonne of benzocaine, which can be used as a bulking agent for cocaine, was found during searches in Grimsby.
The man is charged with encouraging or assisting offences linked to the supply of class A drugs and money laundering.
He is due to appear at Londonderry Magistrates' Court on Friday.


Israel has approved the construction of 1,100 homes in the Jewish settlement of Gilo on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

The move comes days after Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas called for full UN membership for a Palestinian state.
There has been widespread condemnation of the move by Palestinian and Western powers, including the EU and US.
Almost 500,000 Jews live in settlements on occupied territory. The settlements are illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
US-brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians are deadlocked over the issue of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Also on Tuesday, three UN special rapporteurs called for an immediate end to the demolition of Palestinian-owned homes and other structures in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
The plan for construction in Gilo includes the construction of small housing units, public buildings, a school and an industrial zone, according to the Ynet news website.
"It's a nice gift for Rosh Hashanah [Jewish New Year]," Yair Gabay, a member of the Jerusalem planning committee, told Ynet.
The authorities have now approved the building of almost 3,000 homes in Gilo over the past two years.
The chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the decision represented a rejection of a proposal by the Quartet of Mid East negotiators - the US, the EU, Russia and the UN - for new talks between the Palestinians and Israelis.
"With this, Israel is responding to the Quartet's statement with 1,100 'NOs'," he said.
The US said the move was "deeply disappointing" and "counterproductive".
The EU Foreign Policy Chief, Catherine Ashton, noted that the Quartet had called for parties "to refrain from provocative actions".
"It is with deep regret that I learned today about the decision to advance in the plans for settlement expansion in east Jerusalem," she said in a statement.
"This plan should be reversed. Settlement activity threatens the viability of an agreed two-state solution and runs contrary to the Israeli-stated commitment to resume negotiations."
The US and UN have criticised earlier announcements of building projects.
France and the UK also voiced concerns.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague urged Israel to revoke its decision.
"Settlement expansion is illegal under international law, corrodes trust and undermines the basic principle of land for peace," he said in a statement.
Israel built the settlement at Gilo on land it captured in 1967. It later annexed the area to the Jerusalem municipality in a move not recognised by the international community.
Israel says it does not consider areas within the Jerusalem municipality to be settlements.
Gilo lies across a narrow valley from the Palestinian village of Beit Jala. It became a target for militants during the second Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation in 2000.
Meanwhile, the UN rapporteurs on housing, water, sanitation and food rights said there had been a "dramatic increase" in the demolitions this year.
"The impact and discriminatory nature of these demolitions and evictions is completely unacceptable," they said in a statement.
"These actions by the Israeli authorities violate human rights and humanitarian law and must end immediately."


A court in Italy has convicted five people of manslaughter over the Costa Concordia shipwreck off Giglio island which killed 32 people in January 2012.

Two officers, the helmsman, the head of cabin service and the head of the crisis team were given up to two years and 10 months in jail for multiple manslaughter, negligence and shipwreck.
They had agreed plea bargains and may avoid custodial sentences.
Capt Francesco Schettino is being tried separately.
He is charged with multiple manslaughter for causing the shipwreck and abandoning the vessel with thousands still aboard. His case will resume on 23 September, and his request for a plea bargain has been rejected by the prosecution.
The five defendants were Roberto Ferrarini, director of the Italian cruise company's crisis unit, cabin service director Manrico Giampedroni, first officer Ciro Ambrosio, Indonesian helmsman Jacob Rusli Bin and third officer Silvia Coronica.
They received prison sentences ranging from 18 months to two years and 10 months as the court agreed to plea bargains in order to avoid a lengthy trial.
The heaviest sentence was given to Roberto Ferranini who was ashore as the disaster unfolded and in charge of co-ordinating the cruise ship company's response to the crisis.
None is likely to go to jail as sentences of under two years are suspended in Italy, while longer sentences may be appealed or replaced with community service, Reuters cited judicial sources as saying.
Prosecutor Francesco Verusio told reporters that Capt Schettino's trial was the most important.
"Justice is beginning to be done but there will be real justice in the end, when we can determine with certainty what the responsibilities of the captain are," he said.
But lawyers for the victims reacted with dismay.
"What will the families of the victims think? This is truly disappointing," Daniele Bocciolini told SkyTG24. "Schettino remains the only one on trial, but not the only one at fault, in my opinion."
Massimiliano Gabrielli, lawyer for the group Justice for Concordia, compared the "shameful" length of the sentences to the seven years given to Emilio Fede, who was convicted of procuring prostitutes for former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Capt Schettino's lawyers say he faces a maximum 20 years in jail if found guilty. He denies the charges and says that without his actions many more people would have died.
The trial is taking place in Grosseto, the city nearest the site of the wreck, and much of the case against him has already been disclosed in a report by court-appointed experts.
He has been accused of leaving the luxury liner before all those on board - 4,229 - had been evacuated and steering it too fast and too close to shore during a night-time, sail-past salute to people on the tiny island off Tuscany.
Capt Schettino has already accepted some degree of responsibility, asking for forgiveness in a television interview last year as he talked of those who died.
However, Capt Schettino maintains he managed to steer the stricken vessel closer to shore so it did not sink in deep water where hundreds might have drowned.
His lawyers say he is being made a scapegoat for what was simply an accident.
The vessel was holed by rocks just as many passengers were dining on the first night of their cruise. A disorganised evacuation followed as many of those on board panicked when the ship began to tilt to one side.
Costa Crociere, part of the American-based Carnival Corporation, agreed to pay a $1.3m (Â£860,000) fine in April to settle possible criminal charges.
Most passengers have already accepted compensation of about 11,000 euros ($14,200: Â£9,400) each, but remaining groups of survivors are holding out for more.
The Costa Concordia still lies partially submerged while salvage crews work to refloat it.


Malawi's President Peter Mutharika has approved a law which lifts the age for marriage from 16 to 18.

Human rights activists had pushed for the law, saying Malawi had one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world.
Parliament passed the law two months ago, despite strong opposition from traditionalists.
The law only recognises marriages between men and women, disappointing gay rights activists.
Homosexual acts are illegal in Malawi, where most people hold deeply conservative religious and cultural beliefs.
The BBC's Raphael Tenthani reports from the main city Blantyre that Mr Mutharika's decision to approve the law is a victory for feminists.
It covers a wide range of issues, including giving a widow a share in her husband's property, ruling out the need for a will, he says.
The law also states that if an underage couple have a child, the boy's family will be financially responsible for the baby until the couple are able to support themselves and the child.
Local and foreign non-governmental organisations had campaigned for the ban on child marriage, saying it "traps girls, their families and communities into a cycle of  inter-generational poverty", AFP news agency reports.
Rights campaigner Milliam Chilemba welcomed the ban.
"Once they reach  puberty, parents consider their girls as adults ready for marriage."
"Many parents cannot afford to pay [school] fees for their girls and they opt to marry off their children to relieve themselves of the burden," she told AFP.
Half of Malawi's population of about 15 million live below the poverty line.


Sudan has said it intends to complain to the UN over an explosion at an arms factory that it claims was caused by an Israeli air strike.

Sudan's UN envoy Daffa-Alla Elhag Ali Osman said Israel had violated Sudanese air space three times in recent years.
The Sudanese have not revealed any evidence to support their claim, and Israel has not commented.
Sudanese sources told the BBC that the arms factory was believed to have been operated by the Iranians.
BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Marcus says the factory is thought to have manufactured rockets and other munitions for Iran to transfer weapons to Hamas by an overland route.
By Jonathan MarcusBBC defence correspondent
There is much that we don't know about the alleged Israeli air strike on the Khartoum factory. Indeed there may be much that we may never know.
Short of an Israeli admission, which is unlikely, or some hard physical evidence like fragments of munitions that can be identified, it may be impossible to say with any certainty that Israel was involved.
But the balance of probability suggests that Sudan's claims should be taken seriously. The Sudan raid appears to be yet another episode in the shadowy war being waged by Israel and Iran over arms supplies to Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The Israelis believe there is a well-used smuggling route running northwards to Egypt, into Sinai and then on to the Gaza Strip.
Leaked US state department documents three years ago also suggested that Sudan was secretly supplying Iranian arms to Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
So Israel might have felt that stopping the arms flow at its source in Sudan was better than taking action that could upset Egypt, our correspondent adds.
Although Israel has not commented on the incident, one defence official told army radio on Wednesday that Sudan was a "dangerous terrorist state".
"The regime is supported by Iran and it serves as a route for the transfer, via Egyptian territory, of Iranian weapons to Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists," said Amos Gilad, a senior official at the defence ministry, in comments reported by the AFP news agency.
In April 2011, Khartoum held Israel responsible for an air strike that killed two people in a car near the city of Port Sudan.
Israel was also blamed for a strike on a convoy in north-eastern Sudan in 2009.
Israel did not comment on either incident.
In the latest incident fire engulfed the Yarmouk arms factory in the capital Khartoum late on Tuesday.
Residents reported seeing aircraft or missiles overhead before a number of explosions.
Sudanese politicians have reacted angrily, with the speaker of parliament suggesting that Israel had declared war.
State media reported Mr Daffa-Alla as saying the alleged attack was a major threat to regional and international peace.


An RAF plane is "conducting activity" off the Scottish coast, the Ministry of Defence says, amid reports of a Russian submarine being spotted in the area.

A Royal Navy Frigate and submarine are also thought to be involved in the search, along with Canadian and French maritime patrol aircraft.
The Telegraph reports the French plane has searched for the submarine for at least 10 days.
The RAF currently has no maritime patrol aircraft of its own.
But according to the BBC's defence correspondent Jonathan Beale, this lack of patrol aircraft is expected to be addressed in Monday's Strategic Defence and Security Review.
The submarine was detected north of Scotland. The Ministry of Defence did not confirm it was looking for a foreign submarine.
"We can confirm that allied maritime patrol aircraft based at RAF Lossiemouth for a limited period are conducting activity with the Royal Navy," a statement said.
"We do not discuss the detail of maritime operations."
There have been previous concerns that Russia could be developing plans to have submarines sever key internet communications during future wars, following a spike in its naval activity near the locations of undersea cables.


The world's biggest passenger airliner has flown into Birmingham Airport ahead of a new daily flights schedule from the West Midlands.

The Airbus A380 will operate on a route run by Middle Eastern airline Emirates between Birmingham and Dubai from Easter Sunday.
The aircraft can fly 15,200km (9,995 miles) and carry 600 passengers.
Bosses hope its arrival can help the airport to keep expanding and serve more passengers.
Bob Graham, airport operations director, said Â£1m had been spent on the infrastructure needed to host the plane.
He said the new service was "a fantastic opportunity" to bring in more passengers to the airport - which handled 10 million passengers in 2015 - as well as more jobs for the region.
"It's the most prestigious aircraft that's currently around," he said.
Craig Burrows, from Emirates, said: "The challenge is trying to turn the aircraft around safely and securely.
"We need extra ground service equipment which we have to ensure gets on the aircraft safely and there's more fuel up-lift and a lot more baggage to be carried on the aircraft due to the bigger number of passengers."


Eight people have appeared in courts in the Burmese city of Rangoon in connection with recent protests against a giant copper mine, activists say.

Moe Thwe, a protest leader, and seven others were charged with incitement against the state and demonstrating illegally. They deny the charges.
All were refused bail. Another two activists are wanted by police.
The case is seen as a test of how the new government handles growing protests over projects begun under the military.
Farmers around the country say they have been evicted in land grabs to make way for industry. The authorities deny the allegations.
Dozens of people were injured when police broke up protests against the vast Chinese-backed mine at Monywa in the north-west last Thursday.
Kyi Zin Tha of pro-democracy group Generation Wave told BBC Burmese those produced in court on Monday had not been inciting against the state.
He said they had been responding to public anger at the use of force against protesters, including many monks.
About 70 monks were taken to hospital with burns after last week's crackdown on protest camps near Monywa, BBC Burmese says.
The farmers started their protest in June, saying they had been forced to accept a deal two years ago under which they gave up their land in return for new housing and financial compensation.
The mine's billion-dollar expansion project covers several thousand hectares of land in Burma's Sagaing region.
It is owned by the military and Chinese arms manufacturer Norinco.
The company has said that the deal was voluntary, and that only a small minority of farmers rejected it. The government says it is still committed to a full inquiry into the farmers' complaint.
The farmers have little experience of political mobilisation, and have been encouraged by the involvement of political activists and the support of Buddhist monks.
The BBC's Jonathan Head, who recently visited the Monywa mine, says it has now become a national cause, encompassing issues that will be central to Burma's post-military development - land rights, environmental protection, freedom to protest, and balancing the interests of big investors with those of ordinary Burmese citizens.
Of these, land may turn out to be the most explosive issue, and the hardest for the new government to solve, he says.


A man charged with the murder of an Irish woman in Australia has changed his plea to guilty.

Adrian Ernest Bayley, 41, has admitted murdering 29-year-old Jill Meagher on 22 September last year at Brunswick in Melbourne.
He had admitted rape at an earlier hearing but had been due to stand trial in September on the murder charge.
He was remanded in custody until 11 June.
Ms Meagher's family was not at the Supreme Court in the state of Victoria for Bayley's appearance on Friday.
Ms Meagher, who was originally from Drogheda, County Louth, moved to Australia from Ireland in 2009 with her husband, Thomas.
She worked for ABC radio but went missing during a night out with colleagues.
Her body was discovered six days later buried on the outskirts of the city.
The BBC's correspondent in Sydney, Phil Mercer, said there had been a huge turnout for Ms Meagher's memorial rally and he had never seen "public revulsion on that scale".
"A few weeks after Jill Meagher was murdered a crowd of about 30,000 people marched through the inner city district of Brunswick, in Melbourne, to remember Jill Meagher and also to highlight the broader concerns about violence against women," he said.
"Certainly, this case did touch a very raw nerve in the city of Melbourne.
"Today, at least for Jill Meagher's family and the people who knew her at the national broadcaster, ABC, perhaps this will be a bit of closure for them."
He said the Meagher family had been "spared the anguish" of a high profile trial because of the change of plea by Bayley.


Japanese carmaker Toyota recorded a big rise in sales in China last month.

Toyota, which operates in China through joint ventures with China FAW Group and Guangzhou Automobile Group, saw sales rise 27.1% in October from a year ago.
Sales in China are now up by more than 13% in the first 10 months of the year, compared with 2013.
The world's biggest carmaker has said it is aiming to sell more than one million vehicles in China for the first time this year.
Last year, Toyota sold 917,500 vehicles in China.
News of the sales jump comes despite economic data out of China on Monday indicating a slowing economy.
China's services sector grew at its slowest pace in nine months in October with the non-manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) falling to 53.8 in October from 54 in September. A reading above 50 indicates growth.
That followed the manufacturing PMI on Saturday that fell to a lower-than-expected 50.8, from 51.1 in the previous month.
China's once red-hot auto market has been cooling in recent months, because of slowing sales of commercial vehicles. In September, sales rose 2.5% from a year ago - the smallest increase in 19 months.
The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) has forecast that the country's market will expand by 8.3% this year, slowing from a near 14% rise in 2013.
Toyota has also recently been making headlines for troubles with its vehicles. It recalled 1.75 million vehicles worldwide over faulty brake installations and fuel component issues last month.


Ulster's opening match of the new Pro14 against South African side the Cheetahs will be shown exclusively live in the UK on BBC Sport NI on 1 September.

The Friday night fixture will take place at Kingspan Stadium at 19:35 BST.
It was confirmed earlier this week that the Cheetahs and Southern Kings would be joining the revamped competition.
The South African teams lost their place in the southern hemisphere Super Rugby, which is cutting from 18 teams to 15, at the end of last season.
The full list of fixtures for the first 13 rounds of the competition will be published on Monday, 7 August.
Ulster have been included in Conference B of the tournament and the Cheetahs in Conference A so the Belfast encounter will be their only meeting of the regular Pro14 season.
The landmark game will also represent the first competitive outing for new Ulster head coach Jono Gibbes and assistant coach Dwayne Peel, who have been recruited by the Irish province.
"This is a really exciting departure for the competition and we're delighted to be hosting the Cheetahs on the opening day, in what will be fantastic occasion under the lights of Kingspan Stadium," said Ulster Director of Rugby Les Kiss.
"South Africa is one of world rugby's great powerhouses with sides renowned for playing fast, open and uncompromising rugby so there is no doubt that both teams will add greatly to the Championship.
"The Cheetahs in particular are famous for their all-out attacking brand of rugby, and we also like to get the ball moving fast so I think it will make for a highly entertaining spectacle."


Scottish government plans to protect the nation's seas are not fit for purpose and could even make the current situation worse, MSPs have said.

Holyrood's environment committee said it was "deeply disappointed" with the national marine plan - which has taken five years to formulate.
It aims to balance the oil and gas and renewable energy industries with the need to protect the environment.
Ministers said they would respond to the concerns "in due course".
The draft marine plan, published at the end of 2014, covers Scotland's sea areas out to 200 nautical miles and aims to protect and boost areas such as the energy industry, tourism and transport, while meeting the needs of the environment.
'Vague aspiration'
But the cross-party environment committee's convener, SNP MSP Rob Gibson, said it was lacking in clarity.
"The committee is deeply disappointed that a government plan five years in the making is simply not yet fit for purpose," he said.
"Multiple uses are made of our marine environment, and increasingly these are coming into conflict, but the Scottish government's draft national marine plan does not provide a clear and concise set of policies that can be consistently applied by decision-makers and those using the marine environment.
"There is a danger the plan in its present form will create conflict by having highly prescriptive actions in some areas, while setting out vague aspirations in others.
"Simply put, instead of making the marine environment easier, it risks making it more difficult."
Calum Duncan, convenor of Scottish Environment Link's marine taskforce, said: "Scotland's environment community have followed the development of the National Marine Plan closely.
"It is a chance not just to ensure developments at sea are well co-ordinated and sustainable, but also to enhance the diminished health of our seas, which is the legal duty of Scottish ministers.
"A good place to start is putting in place proper fisheries management in our marine protected areas (MPAs), but current plans allow scallop dredging and bottom trawling to continue across large areas of some MPAs."
A Scottish government spokesman said its marine plan had won "widespread support" during its consultation phase, adding: "The plan provides clarity to developers and decision makers ensuring the protection of our precious marine environment."
The spokesman said: "The Scottish government notes the committee's report and will respond in due course."


As voters cast their ballots in Crimea, the mood in Kiev was downbeat: anxiety, mixed with defiance.

Several thousand people filed through Independence Square, still full of barricades and memorials to more than 80 people killed last month by snipers.
And the government announced plans to recruit 10,000 people within the next 15 days for its new National Guard.
"People will have the opportunity to defend the country," interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told a cabinet meeting.
He also promised that "separatist ringleaders" who were trying to destroy Ukrainian independence would be held to account.
"We will find all of themâ€¦ and bring them to justice and try them in Ukrainian and international courts," he said.
"The ground will burn beneath their feet."

Is Russian intervention legal?
But the truth is that there is little that the authorities here can do without significant outside help. Just as they are watching closely for the next move from Moscow, so they are expecting action from their Western allies.
And the drumbeat of diplomacy has certainly not faded.
Both the United States and the European Union have made it clear again that the referendum in Crimea is "illegal and illegitimate and its outcome will not be recognised."
When EU foreign ministers meet in Brussels on Monday, they are expected to extend sanctions against Russia - including asset freezes and travel bans against named individuals.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said Russia must now face "economic and political consequences".
But there are still different opinions within Europe about how wide-ranging the list of names should be.
One possibility is that an announcement in Brussels on Monday will focus on officials in Crimea itself, with the threat of imposing similar measures against senior figures in Moscow held in reserve.
Many Western diplomats are waiting to see exactly how Russia will respond to the result of the referendum. The Russian parliament is due to consider the proposal for Crimea to rejoin Russia on 21 March.
But for anyone looking for compromise, the signs aren't good. President Vladimir Putin told the German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday that Russia would respect the choice of the residents of Crimea.
And he expressed concern about the escalation of tension in eastern Ukraine by "radical groups with the connivance of the authorities in Kiev".
US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, as voting in Crimea was under way.
A senior State Department official said Mr Kerry told Mr Lavrov that the crisis in Crimea could only be resolved politically, through reform of the Ukrainian constitution.
But while Western officials have not given up on diplomacy, there are few illusions about Moscow's position.
And if President Putin chose to move Russian forces into parts of eastern Ukraine, under whatever pretext, this crisis would move into a new and far more dangerous phase.
For now, the government in Kiev can only watch and wait, and hope that Western promises of massive financial assistance materialise soon.
There is a feeling here that as well as threatening Ukraine's security and territorial integrity, Russia wants to undermine the viability of the new government, and bring this country close to collapse.
The real issue for Moscow may not be Crimea. It may be the long-term example that a westward-leaning democratic Ukraine could set in Russia itself.


The former Nigeria captain and coach, Sunday Oliseh, says he is relishing his role as head coach of Dutch club Fortuna Sittard, after a successful start at the second tier side.

Oliseh, 42, who stood down as Super Eagles coach in February 2016, previously played for Dutch giants Ajax from 1997 to 1999.
Since arriving at Fortuna Sittard two months ago, the former Nigeria coach has steered the club away from the relegation zone with only one defeat in nine games.
it's a good challenge because there is no better way to show that you're good at this job than to pick a team that is really struggling with really unknown players
"That is great for us. And the boys keep improving. We're picking up points home and away. So I'm very pleased with the results" Oliseh told BBC Sport.
Oliseh, who also played for Juventus and Borussia Dortmund during his club career, earned 63 caps for Nigeria.
He says his biggest challenge at Fortuna Sittard has been working on the team's confidence.
"It was the psychological aspect. Trying to get the players to get a winning mentality. Trying to change the psychology and make them believe in their qualities and try to get the best out of them. That was the most difficult challenge" said Oliseh.
The Nigerian's last coaching position had been with his country. He says Fortuna Sittard posed a completely different task.
"Here, it's like I had to start from zero. We practically started everything again. How we defend, how we ball-position, how we counter-transition, how we attack. All this I had to do it from zero. And the weather didn't help me. We didn't have the facilities, like sometimes we had snow. But when I see the commitment the players have put into it, it's good."
Oliseh had also previously coached Belgian lower tier side Verviétois, and he says the Fortuna job was one he could not refuse.
"It's very close to my home. So I can come home and see my kids and my wife every day.
"And it's a good challenge because there is no better way to show that you're good at this job than to pick a team that is really struggling with really unknown players.
"And it was a big risk but I felt that if I could bring them results then it becomes clear that you know your job. And so far I'm very grateful to God that it's working out that way" explained Oliseh, who helped Nigeria win the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and Olympic gold in 1996.
Oliseh says working abroad is important for all footballers and urged Nigerian stars to embrace opportunities in China.
He also says the Dutch league is perfect for Nigerian players to learn their craft.
"I think it's a league that suits us because Nigerian players are more technical and explosive. And this is a league where a lot of expression is allowed. There's room to play, there's room to attack. And a lot is done here based on tactics."
Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi currently plays for Dutch side NEC Nijmegen, and Oliseh says it was good to catch up with the 19-year-old recently.
"He's one of the players I like very much. He's a very good player. I've met him and I've seen him play. Running into him was really nice. I'm a Nigerian first. And I have my country in my heart. So when I see a kid from Nigeria, it's warm."
Oliseh has been monitoring Nigeria's chances on the global stage and is optimistic about their chances of qualifying for the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
After leaving his post as coach of the Super Eagles, Oliseh worked at Fifa on their new technical committee. He says the door remains open for him to continue his work with football's world body.
"I tried to arrange with them that if I'm not working here and there's an event and Fifa needs my services, that I can be available. But at the same time, I love coaching. I love working with young players. I like seeing them grow and getting results, so it's good."


Lewis Hamilton fears more reliability problems could thwart his attempt to catch Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in the drivers' championship.

Hamilton is 43 points behind Rosberg after finishing second to him in Sunday's Russian Grand Prix.
The Briton said: "My concern is not about beating Nico. My concern is more the guys giving me a car to be able to fight equally.
"Do I think it is not going to happen again? No. There'll be problems ahead."
Listen: 'The disappointment is getting to Hamilton'
Hamilton's remarks are a reference to the series of reliability problems that have hit him in the last two races.
In Russia, an engine failure in qualifying left him 10th on the grid. He fought back to second after Mercedes flew in fresh parts and his mechanics worked through the night to fit them.
Two weeks previously in China, exactly the same engine failure left him at the back of the grid, and he finished seventh in a car damaged in a collision at the first corner.
Two bad starts in the first two races in Australia and Bahrain resulted in him finishing second and third. Rosberg has won all four races so far this season.
Hamilton had another engine problem during the race in Russia. He had closed to seven seconds behind Rosberg and was entertaining thoughts of winning the race when the team told him to back off because his engine was losing water pressure.
The Briton said: "I'm not sure I've ever been big believer in luck. There is a reason for everything. What those are, I don't know.
"I am not hoping for it to get better, I am just going to keep doing what I'm doing. I am doing the job as well as I can do."
Hamilton would need a victory and a second place - without Rosberg scoring a point - to draw level with the German.

Hamilton said: "He has a buffer knowing even if he has two bad weekends he is still in the fight, which is a huge confidence boost.
"Generally he has been starting at the front with no-one to really both him so it has been a nice Sunday drive for him.
"But there are still 17 races to go, and still 17 races I can give him hell."
Rosberg said: "For sure it is a lot of points but there is a long way to go. Lewis is as strong as ever and it will be the usual tough battle with him. It is just about going race by race at the moment."
Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has described the failure that hit Hamilton on Saturday in Sochi as "freak" and has pledged that the team will work out what is going wrong.


Brazil's interim President, Michel Temer, has named a new boss for scandal-hit state-run oil firm Petrobras.

He is former energy minister Pedro Parente, who replaces existing chief executive Aldemir Bendine to become the third head of the firm in 16 months.
Petrobras is at the centre of a massive corruption scandal that has rocked Brazilian politics.
It has said it will cut 12,000 jobs by 2020 as it fights to stay competitive.
Petrobras, which has reported losses for the last two financial years, is expected to spend $1.23bn on implementing the job cuts, which come as part of an investment plan to turn around the company's fortunes.
Petrobras has long been one of the biggest employers in Brazil, with more than 80,000 employees.
But it is now struggling to cope with the corruption scandal, falls in global oil prices and economic recession in Brazil.
The corruption scandal involving price-fixing, bribery and political kickbacks over the last two years has dented confidence in the business. Some former Petrobras executives have been jailed.
Mr Parente served in the administration of former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso, whose PSDB party has been the main opposition force in Brazilian politics for more than a decade.
He told reporters that he had accepted the job on condition that Mr Temer promised not to nominate any political appointees to executive positions.
In the recent past, this practice has led to corrupt overinflated deals that caused financial damage to the company, says the BBC's Daniel Gallas in Sao Paulo.
Mr Temer took over as acting president of Brazil after Dilma Rousseff was suspended from office last week pending an impeachment trial.
Ms Rousseff, who was on the board of Petrobras at the time of the offences, is facing the possibility of impeachment on unrelated charges of false accounting.


Unions and politicians have called for the suspension of ScotRail franchising process in the hope that new powers could allow it to be brought back into public ownership.

The winner of the franchise to operate trains in Scotland for the next 10 years should be announced this month.
Rail union leaders and a number of Labour MPs and MSPs said the process should be halted.
They said new powers could see responsibility for rail devolved.
That would allow the Scottish government to decide whether it wished to diverge from UK government policy and run the ScotRail service in the public sector.
A new deal on powers for Scotland was promised by the three main Westminster parties as part of the campaign which resulted in a "No" vote in last month's independence referendum.
Former Labour prime minister Gordon Brown, the driving force behind the "vow", included the option of a non-profit making railway company in his proposals for devolving powers to Scotland.
These plans have not been endorsed by the other parties but could form part of the negotiations which will be conducted by Lord Smith over the next few months.
Transport giant FirstGroup currently holds the ScotRail franchise, which is due to expire on 31 March 2015.
ScotRail operates more than 2,300 train services a day, delivering more than 86 million passenger journeys and 1.76 billion passenger miles a year.
The franchise employs a total of 4,900 staff.
The statement, signed by the general secretaries of the RMT, TSSA and ASLEF unions, said: "We welcome that as part of the new devolution settlement for the Scottish people there are commitments to devolved responsibility on rail so the Scottish government can decide whether it wishes to run Scotrail services in the public sector.
"In the words of Gordon Brown contained in his post-referendum speech 'enforced rail privatisation will be no more'."
The union leaders said they were concerned that if the franchise was awarded before the new powers were agreed then it would be another decade before rail could be nationalised.
Mark Griffin, Labour's Scottish transport spokesman, said the Scottish government's White Paper had claimed that an independent Scotland would be free to pursue "alternative approaches", including public-supported and not-for-profit models.
In a letter to Scotland's Transport Minister Keith Brown, he said: "It's clearly nonsensical for this tendering process to continue. With powers on the way which will allow us to fundamentally change the nature of railway service delivery in Scotland Keith Brown should halt this process now."
A Scottish government spokesperson said: "The Scottish government is obliged, under Westminster legislation, to operate a procurement competition for franchising of our railways, and we want to secure a good outcome for both passengers and the workforce.
"The ScotRail franchise is the single biggest contract let by the Scottish government and to suspend the procurement at this very late stage would, as was evidenced by the Department for Transport's West Coast Mainline fiasco, result in massive and unnecessary costs to the public purse."


Nemanja Matic made his first appearance for Manchester United as they completed their pre-season friendlies with a 2-1 win over Sampdoria in Dublin.

The 29-year-old, who arrived from Chelsea last week for £40m, played the first 45 minutes at the Aviva Stadium.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan headed home an early opener for United, before Dennis Praet levelled the score midway through the second half.
Juan Mata netted the winner when he swept in Anthony Martial's cross.
Jose Mourinho's side finish their pre-season campaign with six wins and one defeat from their seven matches.
United face Real Madrid in the Uefa Super Cup final on Tuesday before starting their Premier League campaign against West Ham on Sunday, 13 August.


UK unemployment fell to 1.68 million between November and January, down 28,000 from the previous quarter, the Office for National Statistics says.

The rate of unemployment remained at 5.1%, maintaining a decade-low rate.
Some 31.42 million are in work, 478,000 up on a year ago. The employment rate is 74.1%, the joint highest since current records began in 1971.
Average earnings went up by 2.1% in the year to January including bonuses, 0.2% higher than the previous month.
Excluding bonuses, the increase was 2.2%.
"With the Chancellor [George Osborne] setting the backdrop to this afternoon's Budget as one where the global 'storm clouds' are gathering, today's labour market figures offer a ray of sunshine," said Scott Bowman, UK economist at Capital Economics.
He added that the UK's jobs recovery remained "in full swing", but cautioned that wage growth was "still fairly subdued by past standards, especially considering how much the labour market has tightened recently".
The East of England saw the biggest fall in the number of unemployed people, down by 15,000, followed by the North East of England, down by 11,000. However, Scotland saw an increase of 16,000 in the number of jobless people.
The North East still has the highest rate of unemployment, at 7.8%, and the East of England has the lowest, at 3.6%.
In all, 22.94 million people were working full-time, 302,000 more than a year earlier, while 8.48 million were working part-time, an increase of 177,000 on a year earlier.
The number of people on the claimant count in February fell by 18,000 to 716,700, said the ONS.
The unemployment figures are based on a large survey, so they are estimates rather than precise figures.
For example, the figure of a 28,000 fall in unemployment has a margin of error of plus or minus 79,000, which means the ONS is 95% confident that the actual change in unemployment is between an increase of 51,000 and a fall of 107,000.
Earlier this month, the US Labor Department said the US economy added 242,000 jobs in February, far better than the 190,000 expected by economists.
The US unemployment rate remains at 4.9%, an eight-year low.
Eurostat, the EU's statistical agency, has said the eurozone's unemployment rate in January fell to its lowest rate since August 2011.
The jobless rate in the 19-country eurozone declined to 10.3% in January from 10.4% in December, while the number of people unemployed in the eurozone fell by 105,000 to 16.65 million.


Nana Akufo-Addo has been sworn in as Ghana's new president after beating John Mahama in last month's election.

Heads of state from across Africa and thousands of guests and dignitaries watched him take the oath of office at a ceremony in the capital, Accra.
Mr Akufo-Addo, a 72-year-old former human rights lawyer, promised free high school education and more factories.
But critics have questioned the viability of his ambitions.
Mr Akufo-Addo's inauguration represents the latest peaceful handover of power in Ghana.
Taking the oath of office in the capital's Independence Square on Saturday, he promised to "protect and defend" Ghana's constitution.
He said he would reduce taxes to boost the economy, adding that Ghana was now "opened for business again".
Mr Akufo-Addo later posted the full text of the presidential oath on the social media site Twitter, using the hashtag #Inauguration2017.
He tweeted that his position was was not an avenue for making money and that he would not disappoint the people of Ghana.
Mr Akufo-Addo, from the New Patriotic Party, was elected on his third attempt to reach the post, after a campaign dominated by the country's faltering economy.
Full profile
Mr Akufo-Addo has previously vowed to revive the country's economy, saying that "there are brighter days ahead".
An economic slump under Mr Mahama led to an International Monetary Fund bail-out.
The former president has defended his record, saying his government had been up against "strong headwinds" that caused growth to slow, public sector debt to rise and the country's currency, the cedi, to fall.
Ghana has been a multi-party democracy since the end of military rule in 1992 and the transition is seen as reinforcing its reputation for the peaceful transfer of power between administrations.


Hull City will need to beat Manchester United on the final day of the season to have any chance of survival, after losing to Tottenham.

The Tigers are two points adrift of safety with one game remaining.
Goals from Nacer Chadli, latching on to Erik Lamela's through ball, and a Danny Rose effort from Ryan Mason's superb pass were enough for Spurs.
Abel Hernandez and Dame N'Doye failed to finish a goal-mouth scramble that might have given the Tigers hope.

But it turned out to be a limp finish from Steve Bruce's men after a difficult and emotional few days for the club.
Hull were without midfielder Jake Livermore, a former Spurs player, after he was suspended on Friday for testing positive for cocaine, a situation Bruce described as the most difficult in his managerial career.
The Tigers, who were preparing for their first ever FA Cup final almost a year ago to the day, can still secure a third consecutive season in the top flight.
But it will need Newcastle United to fail to beat West Ham next weekend or Sunderland to lose at Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as a victory for Bruce's side at home to United.
Hull were bright in the first half at White Hart Lane, creating chances for the returning Nikica Jelavic, who struck a half-volley against the top of the bar.
But sixth-placed Spurs recovered from a sluggish opening period to put a run of one win in six behind them, and lay a claim to a Europa League spot.
Lamela made the first after 54 minutes, disguising a pass through the middle of the Hull back line and allowing Chadli to round Steve Harper and finish.
And while Mauricio Pochettino's men were not at their free-flowing best, Mason showed a touch of quality with a delicate chip over the visitors' defence that Rose caught first time to send in off the crossbar.
Hull wilted as the game drew on and they will need a final-day-of-the-season victory if they are to pull off survival.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: "The first half was not easy because Hull are playing to survive.

"We're still in the fight to finish fifth. The fans needed that - it was a tough season for them too.
"I want to play in Europe next season - we need to win our one more game to be sure of getting in the Europa League and that is very important."
Hull boss Steve Bruce: "You can't come to Tottenham and create five or six good chances and not take one. We've switched off at the back and they have taken their chances.
"We have to believe we can beat Manchester United next week.
"Six or seven of the players got me into the league a few years ago. They have big hearts. We've missed some of those big players during this season.
"We have a chance. Is there one final twist? Can we upset the apple cart? Let's hope we can do it."


The EU referendum debate has heard a lot of arguments about the future of the UK's trading relationship with Europe.

However, US President Barack Obama's remarks that Britain would find itself at the "back of the queue" when drawing up any potential post-Brexit trade deals with the US has also put the focus on Transatlantic commerce.
It is not the first time the US has threatened dire trade consequences should the UK vote to leave the EU on 23 June.
Last year, US trade representative Michael Froman warned that if the UK left the EU it would face the same tariffs and trade barriers as other non-EU countries such as China, or Brazil or India.
The tariffs which UK exporters pay (as a company based in an EU member country) on goods sent to the US are at present relatively low.
The heightening of the trade rhetoric seems curious when one examines the current mutually-beneficial trading relationship between the UK and US.
While the EU bloc of nations is the UK's largest export market, that is a large territory comprising another 27 countries.
When it comes to British exports to a single nation, then the US is the UK's biggest export destination, a market worth some £3.5bn.
The UK exports a huge variety of items to the US, from gin and industrial chemicals to live animals and vegetable fats.
Conversely, the US is the UK's third biggest source of imports, after Germany and China, buying some £2.9bn in goods from America.
According to the UK government around 17% of British exports went to the US in 2012.
In addition, the US and the UK are each other's largest foreign investors, and "this investment supports approximately one million jobs in each country," it says.
So far, so good, but the government has its eyes on what it says is an even bigger potential prize, the signing of a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) deal between the EU and US.
This is the deal which Barack Obama says the UK risks missing out on if it votes to leave the EU.
For the past couple of years negotiations have been taking place on this bi-lateral deal, which, the UK government says "could add as much as £10bn annually to the UK economy in the long term".
It adds: "It could also add £100bn for the EU and £80bn for the US."
And according to UK Trade and Investment, which drums up international trade for British firms: "Negotiations between the US and EU for the TTIP should generate even more opportunities for the UK. This will remove trade barriers by lowering tariffs and making regulations similar."
TTIP is primarily a deal to cut tariffs and regulatory barriers to trade between the US and EU countries, making it potentially easier for companies on both sides of the Atlantic to access each other's markets.
Industries it would affect include pharmaceuticals, cars, energy, finance, chemicals, clothing and food and drink.
The government says shoppers would benefit by the removal of EU import tariffs on popular goods, such as jeans and cars.
It's also claimed that reducing regulation would help UK businesses export to the US, with small businesses in particular predicted to benefit.
Tariffs between the EU and US are already low - averaging around 3% - and both sides foresee they will be eliminated under the agreement.
The main focus of negotiations is on harmonising regulations, reducing "non-tariff barriers" to trade, or getting rid of them if they're deemed unnecessary.
For instance, US and EU regulators have different requirements for testing the safety of cars, drugs and soft furnishings.
Going through the different tests is expensive for firms, particularly in developing new medicines. TTIP aims to reduce those costs by bringing in common standards.
Other areas being considered include protection for foreign investors, co-operation to achieve greater participation by small businesses in EU-US trade and a controversial procedure to resolve investment disputes between the US and EU.
Not everyone is enamoured by the potential agreement, with concerns the deal will drive down wages, weaken environmental protection and labour rights, and put the demands of big business before those of citizens.
John Hilary, executive director of campaign group War on Want, says: "TTIP is correctly understood not as a negotiation between two competing trading partners, but as an assault on European and US societies by transnational corporations seeking to remove regulatory barriers to their activities on both sides of the Atlantic."
Much of the opposition to TTIP in the UK and other EU countries including Germany, is focused on its provisions for "investor-state dispute settlement".
This procedure would allow companies to sue foreign governments over claims of unfair treatment and to be entitled to compensation.
Critics say the measures undermine the power of national governments to act in the interests of their citizens.
For example, they warn that tobacco giants could use the procedure to challenge restrictive regulations, citing a case in Australia, where Philip Morris Asia used a 1993 trade agreement with Hong Kong as the basis for a legal move to stop a change to packaging.
In the UK, attention has focused on the potential impact on the NHS, with critics saying TTIP would allow private firms running NHS services to sue the government if it chose to return the services to the public sector.
Opponents have called for the NHS to be exempted from TTIP, arguing that other sectors have already secured exemptions, such as the French film industry.
The UK government says the details of how the dispute settlement would work are still under negotiation and claims there is no threat to the NHS.
Critics also worry about the impact on food standards, arguing that the EU has much stricter regulations on GM crops, pesticide use and food additives than the US.
They say the TTIP deal could open the EU market to cheaper products with poorer standards. They also warn that food giants could use investor-state dispute settlements to bully governments into dropping legislation to improve food standards.
Irrespective of how the UK population decides to vote on 23 June regarding EU membership, the TTIP ship sails on.
The next round of talks, the 13th, is due to open on Monday in New York and run until Friday.
Some commentators say that if a deal is not signed before Barack Obama leaves office in January 2017, then negotiations could stall while there are elections in the US, France and Germany.
So, all to play for on the trade front, not only for the UK, but also the US and EU.


A giant panda has been given a bit of fright by one of his favourite foods.

8 July 2015 Last updated at 13:16 BST
Yang Guang, nicknamed Sunshine, was happily swinging on his hammock, chomping away on bamboo, when a big stick of it fell on him and made him jump.
The moment was captured by a CCTV camera in Sunshine's enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo.
Alison Maclean, who works with the giant pandas, said: "Yang Guang is normally a very peaceful and calm animal, who loves sleeping and eating.
He had quite a fright though when a stick of bamboo he'd forgotten he'd put aside for later fell and broke the silence!
Our bear quickly recovered though and happily went back to lazing about and giving himself a good scratch."


Shocking dashcam footage which shows a motorist making a U-turn before driving straight at a car carrying two children is under review by prosecutors.

The video was captured by Jonathan Steward as he was travelling with his son and daughter on the A140 between Diss and Norwich.
Police are seeking a prosecution for dangerous driving following the incident on 16 September.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it needs more time to consider the case.
The footage shows the Ford car stopping right in front of Mr Steward's vehicle before driving away, turning around and driving head-on towards it, ramming the car twice.
Mr Steward, from Norwich, said it caused Â£4,000 damage to his BMW X5 and left his daughter Holly, 10, "petrified".
He was driving from Woodbridge, Suffolk, to Norwich after picking up his children.
The drama unfolded when he got to the roundabout at Dickleburgh.
He said: "The other driver was in the right-hand lane and I presumed he was turning right but instead he went straight as well.
"I accelerated to get out of the way but the lane narrows and I could see in my rear view mirror that the driver swerved towards me to try and clip back of my car.
"Then he overtook me and slammed on the brakes."
The CPS decided not to consider the case because it felt it would not get a conviction, but Mr Steward appealed against the decision in February.
He said: "You give them dashcam footage, you give them all the evidence. I wonder what it takes to get somebody prosecuted?
"It really upset my kids which is why I'm doing this."
The CPS said it needed another 28 days to review the case.


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to tear up a key migrant deal with the European Union.

He said the EU could "forget about" Turkey re-admitting failed asylum seekers who had reached Europe via Turkey, a key part of the agreement.
Mr Erdogan also said the EU's top court was leading a "crusade" against Islam.
His comments are the latest in a widening, increasingly acrimonious dispute with EU governments and institutions.
The Turkish government has been enraged by Germany, the Netherlands and other nations' decisions to block its officials from holding political rallies in those countries.
It wants to win the votes of large Turkish populations living in Europe ahead of a key referendum that would expand Mr Erdogan's executive powers.
The EU has criticised the referendum, saying it would concentrate too much power in the president's hands.
The migrant deal, signed in March 2016, saw Turkey promised aid, visa-free travel for its nationals and accelerated EU membership talks in return for its help in reducing the flow of migrants crossing to Europe.
The number of migrants reaching Greece by sea dropped sharply after the deal was reached, and Turkey's continued co-operation with the EU is regarded as crucial in managing the mass arrival of migrants fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East.
President Erdogan said the EU had broken its promise of granting visa-free travel to Turks.
"Now they say readmission. What readmission? Forget about it," he said.
"You don't let my minister into the Netherlands. You revoke the landing rights of my foreign minister. You prevent [us] holding meetings at the General Consulate building, which is my land. But after that you'd expect us to do this [re-admit migrants]. That's not going to happen. "
On Wednesday Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Turkey could immediately stop implementing the agreement if it wanted to, echoing previous threats made by the Turkish government
The EU Commission has that it expects Turkey to comply with its commitments under the accord.
More than 1.2m first-time asylum seekers sought protection in the EU last year, Eurostat has announced, with Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis making up the largest groups.
Although the numbers were slightly less than in 2015, they were more than double that who applied in 2014. Six in every 10 applied in Germany.
Turkey hosts more than three million refugees, making it the country with the largest refugee population, according to the European Commission.
Mr Erdogan's latest remarks follow a series of inflammatory comments about Germany and the Netherlands, including accusing them of Nazi-like behaviour for banning rallies.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande on Thursday said such remarks were "unacceptable".
But the Turkish leader is showing no signs of toning down his rhetoric. He has also denounced a European Court of Justice verdict permitting private companies to ban workers from wearing religious symbols in the workplace under certain conditions.
"They started a clash between the cross and the crescent, there is no other explanation," he said.
Turkey is furious at a decision taken by the Netherlands on Saturday to bar two Turkish ministers from addressing expatriates in the country, citing "risks to public order and security".
Some 5.5 million Turks live outside the country, including an estimated 400,000 in the Netherlands.
In retaliation, Turkey barred the Dutch ambassador from returning to Ankara, and suspended high-level relations with The Hague in a raft of diplomatic sanctions.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte's party won Wednesday's election in the Netherlands. Mr Erdogan responded by saying that although he had won the election, he had lost Turkey's friendship.


Ten out of 11 courts which were under threat of closure will be shut, the Ministry Of Justice has confirmed.

Courts in Brecon, Bridgend, Neath Port Talbot, Pontypridd and Wrexham are to close completely.
Dolgellau, Holyhead and Llangefni will shut when alternative venues are found.
Carmarthen's civil, family, tribunal and probate hearing centre is being retained, while cases at the town's law courts will be sent elsewhere, which is also the case in Prestatyn.
The UK government consultation on plans to close 91 courts and tribunals in England and Wales ended last October.
It believes 97% people could drive to court within an hour, but a map produced by the Law Society suggests it would take longer for those who rely on public transport.
Carmarthen East and Dinefwr MP Jonathan Edwards, who has led the campaign to retain court services in the town, said Thursday's announcement was a partial victory.
"Today's news is bitter sweet in that we will see the closure of that iconic Guildhall courthouse but our efforts, including those of the legal profession, local magistrates and the public at large have succeeded in retaining legal proceedings in the town," said the Plaid Cymru MP.
"This is a significant achievement when we consider the historical and cultural importance of Carmarthen as the judicial capital of west Wales."
But the Labour MP for Anglesey Albert Owen has criticised the decision to close two sites in his constituency.
"This is a devastating blow to the community of Anglesey - I am disappointed in the government's plans to close the courts in Llangefni and Holyhead and in the manner with which they opted to announce this decision.
"The government simply has not listened and is closing local services by stealth."


Oregon will not be renewing a scheme which uses goats to eat invasive species due to rising costs and complaints over the animals' odour.

Salem, the state capital, hired a herd of 75 goats to munch their way through plants like Armenian blackberry in the city's largest park.
But costs came to more than five times the city would have spent on human landscapers, a report found.
The goats also ate native plants among the invasive species, the report added.
The six-week pilot programme ended last November and there are no plans to renew it, city officials said.
Aside from their cost, the goats left behind a "heavily fertilized area", the city's public works operations manager Mark Becktel told the Statesman Journal.
The park was also said to have a "barnyard aroma" due to the goats' presence.


MSP John Wilson has become the second former SNP member to join the Scottish Greens, it has been announced.

The Central Scotland MSP quit his former party after its decision to endorse an independent Scotland's membership of Nato.
Mr Wilson, who will continue to sit as an independent, said the Greens were a "real alternative" to the issues facing Scotland.
In October, former SNP politician John Finnie also joined the Greens.
Mr Wilson said: "I am of the view that the Scottish Green party provides a real alternative direction to the issues and challenges facing Scotland.
"The Scottish Green party is the best vehicle for reflecting my view on environmental, social and economic policies and is providing leadership on key issues such as fracking, land ownership and a citizens income."
The pro-independence Scottish Greens said they had experienced a post-referendum membership surge, from 1,700 to more than 7,500.


Australia captain Michael Clarke has dismissed reports of a dispute with Cricket Australia.

The Sydney Morning Herald claimed they disagreed over a deadline for proving Clarke's fitness for the World Cup, which begins on 14 February.
Clarke, 33, made 51 playing grade cricket for Western Suburbs on Saturday on his return from hamstring surgery.
"I've copped it my whole career. It's another day, it's another newspaper sold. I don't really care," he said.
"Some people are going to write what they want."
Batsman Clarke has not played since having surgery on a hamstring injury sustained in the first Test against India in December.
In January, he was named in Australia's 15-man World Cup squad, on condition he proved his fitness in time for their second group game against Bangladesh in Brisbane on 21 February.
Clarke is reported to think their fourth match against Afghanistan in Perth on 4 March is more realistic.
However, he said: "I'm really happy and comfortable with my relationship with Cricket Australia, firstly, certainly with my team-mates, so it's water off a duck's back.
"My job is to get fit and healthy and I can't wait to get back on the park for Australia.
"I'm certainly ahead of where the surgeon and the Australian medical staff thought I would be at the six-and-a-half-week stage."
In Clarke's absence, Steve Smith has excelled as stand-in captain, winning the Allan Border Medal and claiming Test and one-day player of the year accolades at Australia's annual cricket awards.


The name of a soldier, who fired a shot that killed a Derry teenager in 1972, has been officially disclosed for the first time.

Manus Deery, 15, was killed yards from his home after a soldier fired from high above on the city walls.
The soldier maintained that he fired at what appeared to be a gunman about 200 metres away, missed, and the stray bullet killed the teenager.
A new inquest into his death identified the soldier as William Glasgow.
The Deery family have always disputed the Army's version of events and believe the teenager was killed unlawfully.
The jury in the original inquest in July 1973 returned an open verdict.
The Attorney General, John Larkin, ordered a new inquest into Manus Deery's death in 2012 but it was later delayed.
On Monday, the counsel for the coroner's court in Derry said the soldier, who is now dead, was no longer entitled to anonymity.
He said soldier "A" could be identified as a Mr William Glasgow.
Another soldier, called soldier "B", cannot be named for legal reasons and is due to appear on Thursday.
The court also heard that a Special Branch assessment of Manus Deery found he was not a known terrorist and was not known to be involved in terrorist activity.
Civilian witnesses with the teenager said he was unarmed at the time he was killed and the court heard there was no lead residue on the hands of the deceased.
On the evening of his death, the court heard how the 15-year-old was celebrating getting his first pay packet after starting work in a local factory two weeks earlier.
The inquest is expected to last for two weeks.


When Alice Hughes attached twinkling lights to her home she thought she would be injecting the street with festive cheer - but instead was accused of bringing down the neighbourhood.

Ms Hughes put up the rows of icicles on her home in the appropriately named Light Close in Corsham, Wiltshire.
Later she received an anonymous note claiming the "tacky" lights  had made the street "very common".
But Ms Hughes thinks they look amazing - so she went out and bought some more.

The row sparked a number of comments on BBC Wiltshire's Facebook page - with many people struggling to see the problem.
Mo Moncrieff-Jury said: "Heard about this on the radio and I was expecting a garden full of blow-up santas, reindeer and flashing multi-coloured lights at least - LOL."
Adrian Smith added: "The letter says nothing about the lights but everything about the author. Perhaps a party at the house where we can all say how nice it looks?"
Ms Hughes put up the lights with the help of neighbour Jordan Franklin.
They feature two rows of icicles along the top of the house and some around the fences, "basically covering the front of the house".
"We've gone through all the time and effort trying to be Christmassy for someone to attempt to knock us down," said Ms Hughes.
"But at the same time I thought it was quite funny someone had gone to all that effort of posting the letter to then do it anonymously," Ms Franklin added.
"All it's done is spurred us on and made us go out and buy more lights and they went straight up in the dark."


Nottingham Forest boss Mark Warburton insists he has no plans to sell Britt Assombalonga following talk of interest from Premier League side Burnley and Championship rivals Middlesbrough.

Assombalonga, 24, has scored 30 goals in 47 Championship starts since a £5.5m move to the City Ground in August 2014.
"I don't want Britt to go anywhere," Warburton told BBC Radio Nottingham. "He is a goalscorer.
"He showed his value at the end of last season and we know what he can do."
Warburton said it was not surprising that striker Assombalonga was attracting interest.
"Good players are sought after by other clubs, it's as simple as that," Warburton added.
"We are really clear that we don't want Britt to go anywhere, we are delighted with the work he is doing. But every player in the world market has a price on their head.
"We haven't got to sell any players. The owners have been so supportive so far. If any deal represents a good value for Nottingham Forest then we will do it.
"That is not a lack of ambition or desire, that is just sound business practice. Right now we don't want to lose any of our better players."


An Indian baby has survived after his mother gave birth in a train toilet, and the newborn fell on to the tracks.

The mother, identified as Manu, fell unconscious after giving birth on the train in Rajasthan. She has since been reunited with her son.
A guard at a warehouse near the tracks heard the baby crying and alerted the railway officials, who retrieved him.
Most Indian train toilets have a hole opening on to the tracks, and similar incidents have been reported before.
The latest incident took place on Sunday when Manu was travelling with her mother from Suratgarh to Hanumangarh, railway officials said.
The baby was born at Dabli Rathan area, a few miles from the Hanumangarh station.
"Once the train reached its destination, the mother was admitted to Hanumangarh town hospital," North-West Railway spokesman Tarun Jain told BBC Hindi.
"After being rescued, the baby was initially taken to the local hospital where he was given first aid. He was also later shifted to the town hospital."
Dr SP Rohilla, the hospital's chief medical officer, said mother and baby were doing fine.
A doctor in the hospital's neo-natal care unit said the baby had no serious injuries and all tests were normal.
"But he is underweight, he weighs only 2kg (4.4lb), and we are keeping him under watch," Dr Bijrania said.


A knee surgeon accused of biting his secretary on the arm claimed it was "an affectionate kiss," a court has heard.

David Johnson, 57, denies assaulting Krysha James, his secretary of five years, while the pair were sitting in their office together.
Bristol Magistrates' Court heard Ms James was left with a bruise on her upper left arm after being bitten by the private orthopaedic surgeon.
Mr Johnson, of Sea Walls Road, Bristol, was suspended following the allegation.
The court heard the incident happened at the private Spire Hospital in Bristol on the morning of 3 September.
Ms James said they were going over an invoice and when she went to grab some paper for the printer Mr Johnson "leant forward and bit me".
"I swore at him 'you bloody bitch, you bit me, you don't ever bite me - my kids don't bite and my dogs don't bite'," she said.
"He said 'oh sorry, did that hurt?' I don't know why he did it. There was no horseplay previous to that. We hadn't had an argument so there was no aggression. It just came out of the blue."
Prosecuting, Ian Jackson told the court Mr Johnson disputes any bite on his part.
"He does accept, not just in interview but in a letter which he delivered to her property, there was some contact," he said.
"This was a peck or an affectionate kiss. The Crown say that cannot in certain terms be squared with the injury as shown in photographs."
The trial continues.


A former New Zealand rugby player has appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court charged with sexual assault.

Mils Muliaina, 35, is alleged to have committed the offence in Cardiff city centre on 7 March.
He did not enter a formal plea, but the New Zealand Rugby Players Association has previously said the full back intended to "plead not guilty".
His case will resume at Cardiff Crown Court on 7 September.
Hours before the alleged incident, Muliaina had turned out for Irish side Connacht in their away game against Cardiff Blues.
He won 100 caps for the All Blacks before retiring from international duty in 2011.


China's declaration of an "air-defence identification zone" that extends over disputed islands in the East China Sea is just the latest step in Beijing's effort to assert its claims over the islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.

US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel described the move as "a destabilising attempt to alter the status quo in the region".
And on Saturday, almost as if to underline the risks involved, the Japanese authorities say that they scrambled two F-15 fighters to intercept two Chinese surveillance planes that were approaching the islands.
China's more assertive policy and Japan's apparent willingness to push back against it raises the possibility of sparking a wider conflict, albeit by accident perhaps, rather than by design.
All of the necessary points of friction are there. Last January, Japan insisted that a Chinese frigate locked its targeting radar on to a Japanese warship near the disputed islands. China denied it.
In the year ending last March, Japan scrambled aircraft to intercept what it regards as Chinese intruders a record number of times. And both China and Japan have mounted exercises that encompass the seizure or the defence of remote islands.
Having sought to draw lines at sea, Beijing is now seeking to draw lines in the air.
The upshot could be greater instability, with the ever-present danger that an incident between warships or aircraft could precipitate a localised conflict between China and Japan.
The consequences of such an encounter risk an escalation that could ultimately draw in other powers.
While China is pursuing the rapid modernisation of its air and naval forces, in any localised conflict it might be at a disadvantage compared to the modern and probably more capable Japanese.
Q&A: China-Japan islands row
But drawing up a military balance between Japan and China is not really the issue here. The real question is how might such a crisis be managed? How might it be contained? Indeed is containment actually possible?
For there is a growing concern that the traditional tools of crisis management may be less useful than in the past.
Earlier this month a wargame was held at the US think tank, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, acting out just such a scenario involving China and Japan.
It focused on how the US might respond to such a crisis. As matters got increasingly fraught between China and Japan the players acting out the roles of senior US officials resisted the deployment of US military muscle for fear of worsening the drama.
But then the Chinese actors in the wargame escalated significantly. Long-range Chinese anti-shipping missile units were moved to high-alert. Forces were despatched towards the islands in contention. The US was forced to act; the recommendation was made to send two aircraft carrier strike groups to the East China Sea.
At this point the wargame apparently ended; the US having played its trump card, and with the heavyweights of US naval power on the way the assumption was that the crisis would die down.
But one US strategic expert who follows events in this region closely - Robert Haddick - has warned that such assumptions may be outdated.
In the past, he notes, the despatch of a US carrier battle group was seen as the escalatory trump card, because there was very little that potential adversaries could do against them.
However, China's growing area-denial or access-denial strategy seeks explicitly to put such US assets in jeopardy. Long-range anti-ship ballistic missiles are intended specifically to take out US carriers.
Escalating by despatching a carrier or two might in future not calm a crisis, warns Mr Haddick.  It could actually encourage the Chinese to strike out against them.
The growing tensions between China and Japan are just one aspect of the wider strains in the region, which both Chinese and US strategy may actually be making worse.
One antidote is for better understanding between the US and Chinese militaries and there has been some recent progress here.
But in a broad sense the whole US strategic doctrine in the region - dubbed Air-Sea Battle - seems designed to contain China's rising military might, while China's area-denial strategy seems intent on hampering the ability of US air and naval forces to make significant interventions in waters that it regards as its strategic backyard.
This is why an unwanted Sino-Japanese clash puts so many experts' teeth on edge.


Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos says peace with the Farc rebel group will boost economic growth and enable the country to rebuild its social fabric.

"War is always more costly than peace," he said in an interview with the BBC.
Mr Santos and Farc leader Timoleon Jimenez, known as Timochenko, will sign a historic peace deal later on Monday.
But it will take a long time for Colombian society to recover from more than five decades of conflict, he said.
The Farc will be relaunched as a political party as part of the deal, which is due to be put to Colombian voters in a popular vote on 2 October.
"We could have grown between 2% and 3% more per year for the past 23 years," Mr Santos told the BBC's Lyse Doucet, adding that the conflict had also had a profound impact on Colombian society.
"We have even lost our compassion, which is the ability to feel some kind of pain for others.
"A country at war for 50 years is a country that has destroyed many of its values," said President Santos.
Who are the Farc?

Colombia's peace deal makes history in many ways, most of all for ending the last of the Cold War conflicts. But it also breaks new ground in trying to balance the desire for peace with the demands of justice which bedevil all peace talks.
There's no amnesty, unlike all previous peace accords in the region. The Farc, as well as Colombia's security forces, have accepted special tribunals and a truth and reconciliation process.
Many of the victims of the Farc's brutality have been brought into the process. If polls are to be believed, a majority will vote to accept this deal. But I kept meeting people in Bogota and Cartagena who said they would vote no.
Fifty years of war also means decades of hatred and mistrust. Many doubt that the Farc will give up all its lucrative criminal activities. Will this deal also make history in being a peace deal which doesn't fall apart?
The peace agreement was sealed last month after nearly four years of talks, which were held in the Cuban capital, Havana.
A bilateral ceasefire came into force five days later,  effectively ending the conflict.
Senior members of the Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) voted unanimously to ratify the deal on the last day of their conference on Friday.
The 52-year conflict has led to the deaths of an estimated 260,000 people with more than six million people internally displaced.
"The signature of the deal is simply the end of the conflict. Then the hard work starts: reconstructing our country," President Santos said.
The Farc now has 180 days to disarm and move its estimated 7,500 fighters into disarmament zones set up by the UN.
An amnesty will be granted for "political crimes" but this does not cover massacres, torture or rape.
The Farc has already agreed to stop drug production in areas under its control and the government has pledged to help farmers earn a living without growing illicit crops.
The Farc will become a political party, allocated 10 seats in the 268-member Congress.
Once the deal is signed EU sanctions against the group are expected to be suspended, the bloc's ambassador in Bogota said. They could be permanently removed from the EU's list of terror organisations after six months have elapsed, according to EU officials.
Both sides have pledged to provide land, loans and basic services to impoverished rural areas.
Mr Santos says the deal with the Farc was fair and that it made those who committed war crimes accountable.
Mr Santos and Farc leader Timoleon Jimenez will sign the historic peace deal at a ceremony in the port city of Cartagena on Monday evening.
The document will be signed using a Baligrafo - a bullet turned into a pen - as a symbol of a peaceful future.
Some 2,500 attendees are expected, among them UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State John Kerry and several Latin American leaders including Cuba's Raul Castro.
Victims of the conflict will also be present.
Mr Santos said he was "very, very confident" that most Colombians would vote in favour of the deal.
"The latest polls say that between 65% and 70% of the people approve of the peace process," he said
But he warned that if the agreement was rejected in the popular vote, the conflict would start again.
"We will go back six years and continue the war with the Farc. That's plan B," he said.
Colombia's second largest rebel group, the ELN (National Liberation Army), announced on Sunday a unilateral ceasefire until the referendum.
ELN leaders have publicly expressed their wish to engage in their own peace process with the Colombian government.

Thailand former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has been denied permission to travel overseas.

A spokesman for the military-backed government said the move was designed to make sure she was in the country to face criminal charges later this month.
She is accused of corruption in a scheme she oversaw to subsidise rice farmers which could result in a 10-year jail term. She denies the charges.
She was also banned from politics following her impeachment in January.
The former prime minister had asked for permission to leave the country until 22 February, government spokesman Sunsern Kaewkumnerd said.
He added that the attorney general was due to submit a subpoena on 19 February and she would have to be present for the case to go ahead.
Ms Yingluck's lawyer said it was not necessary for her to appear in court for at least two months and if the military government used her case as an excuse to deny her the right to travel, that would be a "violation of her basic rights".
Yingluck Shinawatra became Thailand's first female prime minister in July 2011.
She remained in her post until the Constitutional Court forced her to step down in early May 2014 after finding her guilty of abusing her power.
Weeks later, the military seized power and suspended the constitution saying it was necessary to restore order after months of protests against Ms Yingluck's government.
Her impeachment in January led to a five-year ban from politics.
The allegations against Ms Yingluck centre on a scheme in which her Pheu Thai-led government bought rice from Thai farmers at a much higher price than on the global market.
It resulted in the accumulation of huge stockpiles of rice and hit Thailand's rice exports hard.
Anti-corruption investigators have accused Ms Yingluck and her party of using the scheme to buy votes from farmers, particularly from their power base in the north, and allowing government associates to profit from it.
Ms Yingluck has maintained that she was not involved in the scheme's day-to-day operations, and has defended it as an attempt to support the rural poor.
Her supporters say the charges against her are designed to limit the influence of her brother, the ousted former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.


Rugby union club London Irish are exploring a return to London, with a groundshare at Brentford FC's proposed new stadium among the options.

Formal discussions have begun between Irish and Hounslow Borough Council about playing rugby in west London.
Irish, relegated from the Premiership last season, currently play their home games at Reading's Madejski Stadium.
Planning permission has been granted for a 20,000-capacity ground to replace Brentford's current Griffin Park.
But construction at the site in nearby Lionel Road has been delayed since December 2013.
In April, Hounslow Borough Council was granted central government approval to allow a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) of the remaining land required by Brentford Football Club.
In a statement, Irish said "numerous discussions have taken place with a variety of clubs over the last five years" about a potential groundshare in London.
The Madejski Stadium has been Irish's home since 2000 and the club have committed to staying there for the coming season.
The Exiles are contracted to groundshare in Reading until 2025-26, but a get-out clause can allow the deal to break early should they wish to make the move to Brentford.


Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has shrugged off the significance of a potential Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

The German side are managed by Pep Guardiola, who will replace Pellegrini at City next season.
Asked what a tie with Guardiola would mean, Pellegrini replied: "For me, exactly the same. It doesn't matter."
City beat Paris St-Germain to reach the last four, while Bayern lead Benfica 1-0 in their quarter-final.
Real Madrid are also through to the semi-finals, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid vying for the other spot.
"It will always be a difficult team," Pellegrini, 62, added. "Bayern Munich, if they win, Barcelona or Real Madrid."
The draw for the semi-finals takes place on Friday.
City reached the last four of the Champions League for the first time after Tuesday's 1-0 second-leg win sealed a 3-2 aggregate victory over French champions Paris St-Germain.
Sergio Aguero missed a penalty for City before Kevin de Bruyne got a 76th-minute winner for the hosts.
Real Madrid secured their spot after Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to overturn Wolfsburg's 2-0 lead from the first leg.
In Wednesday's quarter-finals, Bayern face Benfica in Portugal and last season's champions Barcelona travel to Atletico Madrid looking to protect their 2-1 advantage.
City have reached the last 16 twice and failed to progress beyond the group stages twice in their past four Champions League campaigns.
"It's an amazing night for us," said City goalkeeper Joe Hart, the only player in Tuesday's squad who joined City before the 2008 takeover by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour.
"We've worked hard in this competition. I've been here since the start of this Champions League run and we did struggle to start with, but we started to piece together results and this speaks volumes."
Goalscorer De Bruyne added: "Everybody has talked about the Champions League and to be in the semi-finals is a great achievement.
"But it is not done yet. We are looking forward to the semis. It is only two games away from the final. We will try to do everything to reach the final."
PSG coach Laurent Blanc praised City's performance.
"City are a good team, not a particularly spectacular team, but they are efficient and they get the job done," the former Manchester United defender said.

Actor Martin E Brooks, who starred in The Six Million Dollar Man, has died at the age of 90.

Brooks played scientist Dr Rudy Wells in the 1970s TV series, as well as roles in The Bionic Woman and Dallas.
Jon Landau, a film producer and friend of Brooks, said he died of natural causes in Los Angeles.
"Marty was the eternal optimist. He only looked at the good things in life," said Landau, the producer of Titanic and Avatar.
Brooks' other credits included The Philco Television Playhouse in the 1950s, Combat! in the 1960s and Knots Landing in the 1990s.
He also played Dr Arthur Bradshaw on the ABC daytime serial General Hospital.
Landau said Brooks was proud of his stage work that included An Enemy of the People and I Am a Camera.


Scientists have used high-power X-rays to "see inside" an exquisite and complete dinosaur specimen.

The skeleton belongs to a small, plant-eating dinosaur which lived 200 million years ago - at the beginning of the Jurassic Period.
Although this species was widespread at the time, scientists have largely had to rely on incomplete fossils.
The analysis was carried out at the ESRF facility in Grenoble, France, and showed that the specimen was juvenile.
The skeleton is too small and fragile, and the rocks around it too hard, to allow it to be studied by conventional means.
In addition, the rock matrix in which the fossil is preserved contains trapped minerals which prevented it from being scanned in a standard CT scanner.
The specimen was discovered in a stream bed on a farm in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa by palaeontologist Billy de Klerk.
"There's still a lot we don't know about early plant-eating dinosaurs," said Prof Jonah Choiniere from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"We need new specimens like this one and new technology like the synchrotron to fill in those gaps."
Prof Choiniere, along with Dr Vincent Fernandez, from the ESRF (European Synchrotron), scanned the specimen with high-powered X-rays to understand how the species, Heterodontosaurus tucki, ate, moved, and breathed.
Scanning the fist-sized skull might allow the scientists to perform a 3D reconstruction of the animal's brain, offering insights into its lifestyle - including its sense of smell, and whether it was capable of complex behaviours.
The scientists think the diminutive dinosaur used its back teeth to grind down plant food. In other animals with similar anatomy, this requires the teeth to be replaced due to wear and tear.
The team members said they can now begin testing this theory and others regarding the dinosaur's biology and behaviour.

Connah's Quay Nomads manager Andy Morrison has described it as the Welsh Premier League's biggest result in Europe.

Nomads beat HJK Helsinki 1-0 in the Europa League first qualifying round, first leg.
HJK are currently top of the Finnish Veikkausliga and have an impressive European pedigree which includes reaching the Europa League group stages in 2014-15.
Welsh Premier League secretary Gwyn Derfel, who was a spectator at the Bangor University Stadium, said he "couldn't remember a better result in Europe by a Welsh Premier League team."
BBC Wales Sport looks at other notable results achieved by Welsh Premier League clubs in their 24 years of participation in European club competitions.
Cwmbran Town became the first club to represent Wales in the Champions League after winning the inaugural League of Wales title in 1993.
Irish champions Cork City were their preliminary round opponents, with the first leg staged at Cwmbran Stadium.
Simon King gave Tony Wilcox's side a dream start with the opening goal on five minutes with two further goals from Francis Ford extending their lead.
Cork responded with two second-half goals but Cwmbran held on to secure a historic victory for the fledgling League.
The Welsh side were denied a place in the first round on the away goals rule as Cork secured a late win in the second leg.

The Portuguese giants had effectively won this Champions League qualifying tie in August 2001 with an 8-0 first leg victory and they rested several players for the return in Wales.
But the Welsh champions' 3-1 second leg win at Jenner Park against a side which included a young Ricardo Carvalho, Jorge Costa and Helder Postiga is impressive nonetheless.
Porto picked up where they had finished off in the first leg with Gustavo Dias Rafael giving them the lead.
But two goals in the space of three minutes from Lee Phillips and current Newport County manager Mike Flynn put Barry in front.
Barry Town stalwart Gary Lloyd sealed victory in the final minute.
Bangor City's most famous European win came in 1962, when the then Cheshire League part-timers beat Italians Napoli 2-0 in a Cup Winners' Cup tie at Farrar Road.
But arguably their most impressive result in Europe as a Welsh Premier League club was achieved 40 years later.
Managed by ex-England, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest striker Peter Davenport, Bangor beat Serbian side FK Sartid in the Uefa Cup qualifying round, first leg.
Paul Roberts scored the winner at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground for a Bangor side which included former Manchester United and Wales players Clayton Blackmore and Simon Davies and a future Welsh international, Owain Tudur Jones.
The Citizens put in a battling performance in the second leg in Smederevo but could not find the away goal which would have seen them advance in the competition.
Current Welsh champions The New Saints' best ever season in Europe came in July 2010, when they reached the Champions League third-qualifying round.
But they had to overcome a 1-0 first leg defeat away to Irish champions Bohemians to advance in the competition.
Craig Jones, Matty Williams and Chris Sharp all struck inside 20 minutes as Mike Davies' side blitzed their opponents at Park Hall.
Williams's second goal sealed victory which ensured the Saints advanced in Europe for the first time in their 12 attempts.
Their reward in the following round was a tie against Anderlecht, but the Belgians ended the Welsh side's hopes with a 6-1 aggregate win.
Llanelli had already secured notable away wins in previous European campaigns against Swedish side Gefle in 2007 and Motherwell two years later.
Stuart Jones scored the winner in the 1-0 victory over Motherwell in a Europa League qualifier in 2009.
But they achieved a notable scalp in the competition in 2011 against a club which had won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1981.
Jordan Follows' two goals stunned Dinamo at Parc y Scarlets but the Georgians beat Andy Legg's side 5-0 in the second leg to progress to the third qualifying round.


Scot Gemmill's first match in charge of Scotland U21s ended in a 2-0 defeat as Iceland went top of Group 3 with one round of fixtures remaining.

Aron Thrandarson opened the scoring on 47 minutes as swirling winds and heavy rain hampered play.
Oliver McBurnie then had a penalty well saved by Runar Runarsson after the home goalkeeper had fouled the striker.
Elias Omarsson doubled the Icelanders lead as they moved above France and Macedonia in the qualifying table.
Scotland hopes of reaching next year's European Championship finals were extinguished after a heavy defeat in Ukraine last month.
That prompted the early exit of coach Ricky Sbragia, with Gemmill stepping up from his role with the under-19s and under-17s.
Looking ahead to the next mission, Gemmill introduced several players from the Under-19s but they could not resist a motivated home side that has lost just once in qualifying.
With two victories from nine matches, Scotland end a hugely disappointing campaign in Macedonia next week.
Iceland lead Macedonia on goal difference, with France one point behind.


International prosecutors at The Hague have accused former Ugandan rebel Dominic Ongwen of ordering his men to kill, cook and eat civilians.

He is the first member of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) to appear before the International Criminal Court.
Mr Ongwen has been accused of 70 war crimes and crimes against humanity.
His defence is likely to use his past as a former child soldier and kidnap victim as part of a plea for leniency.
Prosecutors used Thursday's confirmation-of-charges hearing to try to convince judges there is enough evidence for Mr Ongwen to stand trial.
They said Mr Ongwen had used schoolgirls as sex slaves, conscripted child soldiers and, in at least one instance, ordered his men to kill, cook and eat civilians.
Images shown in the session included a video of shallow graves in the aftermath of an attack.
The hearings were broadcast in the northern Ugandan town of Lukodi, one of the places where Mr Ongwen is accused of carrying out atrocities.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga says lots of people went to watch.
The prosecution is focusing on attacks on four displaced camps housing civilians driven out by the LRA's violence.
Mr Ongwen, born in 1975, surrendered in January 2015. He was abducted by the LRA when he was 10 years old and rose to become one of its commanders.
His lawyers are likely to argue he had a traumatised youth as part of a plea for leniency, the BBC's Anna Holligan at the Hague says.
Dressed in a grey suit, lilac shirt and grey tie, Mr Ongwen rose to say that reading out the  charges was a "waste of time".
He is believed to have been a deputy of LRA commander Joseph Kony, who is still on the run.
Over the next five days, the defence and prosecution will have a chance to outline their arguments.
The judges will then have 60 days to decide whether there is enough evidence to put him on trial.
