Ex-captain Michael Vaughan questioned England's spinners after the first day of the second Test against India.

Moeen Ali, Zafar Ansari and Adil Rashid impressed in the first Test following a difficult tour of Bangladesh, but went wicketless in a combined 49 overs as India piled on 317-4 in Visakhapatnam.
"They have gone back to the Bangladesh mode of bowling too many short balls, too many full tosses," said Vaughan.
"In these conditions, under pressure, can the spinners hold a length?"
On a day when England's four wickets were shared between new-ball pair James Anderson and Stuart Broad, the spinners managed only two maidens between them, while Moeen conceded 4.55 runs an over.
In Rajkot, the trio took 13 of the 16 India wickets to fall, but that came after England batted first and posted 537.
"They did it in Rajkot, but there was a massive score on the board and they weren't under pressure," Vaughan, who led England between 2003 and 2008, told Test Match Special.
"India have learned they can put England's spinners under more pressure."
Surrey left-arm spinner Ansari is playing only his third Test after making his debut in Bangladesh.
"I look at Ansari, and he's a batsman who bowls a bit," said Vaughan. "For any spinner, do they spin it, do they put revolutions on the ball? To me it looks like he's just rolling the ball out. To survive at this level, you have to get revs on the ball."
Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara made centuries for India on a day that improved for England when Anderson, in his first match since August because of a shoulder injury, took two late wickets.
However, India captain Kohli remains unbeaten overnight on 151.
"They got 40 or 50 too many today - we didn't bowl as well as we could have done," said Anderson. "Four down is not the worst for us but hopefully we'll have a good day tomorrow."
The pitch in Visakhapatnam was expected to turn and, although it was ideal for batting on the first day, it may yet provide a challenge for England later in the match.
"England's first innings is crucial," said former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott. "If India bat as they should, it will be near 500. If England bowl well, they might cut them to 450.
"If England can get up to that score, then they are in the game. If England mess it up, it will be hard work batting last."


Former Nigeria captain Daniel Amokachi has said the practice of local coaches being bribed to invite players onto the country's national teams is endemic.

Despite no one being found guilty of the accusation, there have long been suspicions it happens in Nigeria.
"Agents always come to give money for their players to be invited to camp," said Amokachi. "Does it have to be so?"
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has asked Amokachi to produce evidence to support his claims.
If Amokachi has evidence of what he has said, he should bring it forward and we will take it up
The 43-year-old, who won the Africa Cup of Nations as a player in 1994, says it is time people spoke up about an issue that he says has long bedevilled the Nigerian game.
"We know this thing has been going on for a while but we have to voice it," the current manager of Finnish second tier side JS Hercules told BBC Sport.
Previously, Amokachi worked as an assistant to former Super Eagles coaches Stephen Keshi (2011-15), Shaibu Amodu (2008-10) and Austin Eguavoen (2005-2007).
He says that all three used to complain about the practice.
"Every time Amodu would tell me: 'Can you listen to these useless agents that are calling me? They want to give me US$10,000, $20,000 and $30,000 to bring their players in.'"
"But he's a man of integrity and wouldn't take it. I worked with Keshi and it was the same scenario. With Eguavoen, it was the same.
"If these three names mentioned had not had integrity, definitely they would have fallen victim."
Mohammed Sanusi, the NFF General Secretary, rejected Amokachi's allegations while also calling on him to furnish the organisation with more information.
"I think it is unfair to make such allegations and not mention the names of those involved," Sanusi told BBC Sport.
"It would be fair if he mentions the names of those who have either approached him or approached some people to give them money. He should also mention people who he knew collected money.
"I think that will be the best way to go about it.
"I have not heard of this issue from any quarter and I can tell you that the NFF will not tolerate this kind of behaviour. If Amokachi has evidence of what he has said he should bring it forward and we will take it up."
The former international, who enjoyed a fruitful career in Europe with Anderlecht (Belgium), Everton (England) and Besiktas (Turkey), says he has been inspired to speak out after being accused of the practice himself.
Coaches will confirm people bring money but they will not say it
It came after Nigeria, African champions in 2013, failed to qualify for next month's Nations Cup in Gabon.
"Someone accused me lately, (saying) 'the reason Nigeria did not qualify is because all you coaches demand bribes.'"
"You understand? I felt the pain."
"So if he is painting me as a bad egg among a few, then somebody like me cannot be quiet about it."
"Coaches will confirm people bring money but they will not say it.
"Players will confess, even assistant coaches will confirm this thing is going on, but the system does not allow you because a lot of us are hungry and afraid that 'when I say this, I will never be near that office again.'"
In October, Amokachi asked the national anti-graft agency to investigate high-level corruption blighting football in Nigeria - but has yet to hear back.
As a player, the former striker contested the 1994 and 1998 World Cups and won Olympic gold with his home nation in 1996.


A British man whose body was found in a canal in Amsterdam died after he rolled into the water while drunk and having taken drugs.

Richard Cole, 30, from Dursley in Gloucestershire, went missing during a night out in the city in January 2016.
CCTV footage showed him lying on floor and then rolling "vigorously" into the canal. His body was recovered by police divers a week later.
An inquest at Gloucester Coroner's Court recorded an open verdict.
Gloucestershire Coroner Katy Skerrett said a toxicology report showed Mr Cole had consumed alcohol, as well as amphetamines and a high concentration of MDMA.
Mr Cole's half-brother Lee Thornhill told the court that while in Amsterdam searching for him after he disappeared, he had viewed CCTV footage which showed Mr Cole being accosted by three men.
He said footage also showed a taxi pulling up and then driving off, shortly before Mr Cole was seen to roll "quite vigorously" about six feet (2m) into the Herengracht canal, in the early hours of 25 January 2016.
Mr Cole's body was recovered by police divers a week later, on 2 February.
A man was later arrested and prosecuted for stealing Mr Cole's mobile phone.
Dutch police previously said "a number of men" were suspected of robbing Mr Cole, but they were not thought to have been directly involved in his death.
Ms Skerrett recorded an open conclusion, saying Mr Cole's cause of death was drowning contributed to by the consumption of alcohol and drugs.
In a statement following the inquest Mr Cole's family said they were "pleased" with the open verdict.
"It would be easy to assume that Richard died simply because he fell into the canal while intoxicated. We know that it was not as simple as this."
They said they believed that if the family had not "personally found" the CCTV footage "Richard would not have been found until his body resurfaced".


Joaquim Francisco Filho, a former assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, has been named as coach of Mauritius.

Filho succeeds Belgium-born Congolese Joe Tshupula who announced his resignation after the African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers where Mauritius failed to reach the next round.
Filho's main task will be to prepare the national team for the Indian Ocean Islands games, scheduled in Mauritius in 2019.
A lot remains to be done in Mauritius especially at technical level
"I have noticed that there is a great willingness to learn and improve here in Mauritius," Filho said.
"It is most important. You have to learn the basics, and then climb the ladder step by step."
Last February, Filho shared his knowledge for a week with some 30 coaches and aspiring coaches in Mauritius and made a great impression.
"A lot remains to be done in Mauritius especially at technical level.
"In football, the most important thing is technique whereas the physical part comes next.
"Above all, with these youngsters, we must make them footballers before we make them athletes.
"We must promote the skill and execution of movement," added Filho.
Born in São Paulo in 1940, Joaquim Francisco Filho began his career as a professional player at the age of 16.
He played in Brazil, Venezuela, Portugal and France.
As a coach, Filho made his name at the French development centre in Clairefontaine for nearly 30 years where he met Jonathan Bru, who is currently the assistant technical director of Mauritius.
In 2002 he joined Manchester United as a youth coach, working with Sir Alex Ferguson.
He also acted as an interpreter for Cristiano Ronaldo when he arrived at Old Trafford in 2003.


Hundreds have gathered in support of a county clerk in the US state of Kentucky who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licences to gay couples.

Kim Davis, an elected official in Rowan County, has said the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the issue conflicts with her Christian beliefs.
Some of her deputies began processing the licences on Friday, providing one to a gay couple previously denied one.
However, there is disagreement over whether the licences are valid.
Normally they require the signature of the elected clerk, in this case Davis.
On Thursday, Davis denied herself the opportunity to be released from jail after refusing a judge's request to allow her clerks to issue licences. US District Judge David Bunning said she could remain in prison for up to a week.
On Saturday Davis's husband Joe addressed the crowd outside the Carter County Detention Center.
"She won't bow, I promise you," Mr Davis told the crowd, the local Courier-Journal newspaper reported.
"I'm just an old, dumb, country hillbilly, but I know God," he added.
One of the other speakers, evangelical preacher Randy Smith, addressed the crowd saying: "Father we know what your word says. That homosexuality is an abomination," according to NPR.
The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected the argument that Davis's faith prevented her from carrying out her duty.
She can only be removed from her position if the Kentucky legislature impeaches her, because she is an elected official.
Various 2016 Republican presidential hopefuls, like Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio, have supported Ms Davis' decision.
Mr Huckabee has said he plans to meet Davis and stage his own support rally.
Others like Carly Fiorina, Senator Lindsey Graham and Ohio Governor John Kasich have said she must comply with the law.


The care given to an 86-year-old woman who waited six hours to see a doctor after having a stroke in hospital was inadequate, an ombudsman has ruled.

Margaret Harries, from Porth, Rhondda Cynon Taff, later went on to have a second stroke at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Llantrisant, in 2012.
Her family made repeated requests for answers from Cwm Taf health board.
The public services ombudsman said the health board "failed to properly protect" her from an avoidable stroke.
Nick Bennett upheld the family's complaint and said Cwm Taf health board failed to assess and treat her symptoms promptly and effectively. It has apologised.
The ombudsman said there was also a delay in her being seen by a suitably trained clinician and in transferring her to an acute stroke unit, he said.
A report into her care said Mrs Harries was admitted to hospital on 24 March 2012 because she was suffering with diarrhoea and vomiting.
She was waiting to be discharged on 4 April when she suffered her first stroke and, despite family requests, was not seen by a doctor for more than six hours.
Then, overnight whilst she was sleeping, she suffered a further significant stroke.
The report found the health board failed to:
Mrs Harries' son Ceri Harries said the health board repeatedly delayed responding to the family's complaint and he was dissatisfied with the way it was handled and with Cwm Taf's response.
"I still feel angry about it," he said. "Just reading the report now is quite upsetting.
"We all feel really upset about what's happened because my mother was a lovely woman and she's disappeared over time."
Cwm Taf has agreed to give a written apology for the failures identified in the report - which referred to Mrs Harries as Mrs M - and to pay Â£5,500.
Allison Williams, chief executive of Cwm Taf University Health Board, said: "We reiterate our sincere apologies to Mrs M's family following her treatment in April 2012, and apologise for the distress caused as a result of the failings identified within the report.
"We accept the Public Services Ombudsman's findings in respect of this case and work is ongoing within the health board to address the report's recommendations."
Mrs Harries was transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation a week after her stroke and was discharged to a nursing home in February 2013. She died in November 2014.


Armagh is receiving a £1.98m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to restore and enhance the city's built heritage.

The money will see the repair and re-use of up to 30 buildings within the city's conservation area.
The buildings have not yet been identified but Upper English Street and Russell Street are among the areas set to benefit from the funding.
HLF said the five-year project will create 20 jobs and five new businesses.
They added it will also secure a further 10 jobs and four existing businesses.
Support was awarded through the fund's Townscape Heritage (TH) programme.
Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Darryn Causby, has welcomed the award.
"This will enable us to build on the excellent work already completed in the city," he said.
"Armagh has a rich built heritage and the funding will help restore and enhance this culture for future generations."
Paul Mullan of HLF said the plans would "play an important role in regenerating the city's commercial core, restoring its economic heart and opening up its unique heritage for both local people and visitors to enjoy".


Scientists are looking to relocate an underground experiment searching for dark matter to an even deeper site.

Cosmic rays striking the Earth could completely mask the rare dark matter events sought by the experiment.
Team members want to cut out as much of this cosmic ray interference as possible, even if it means moving the experiment 2km below ground.
This could help them positively identify the particles thought to make up dark matter.
Dr Marek Kos, who is a team member on the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search II (CDMSII) project, outlined details at the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) in Paris.
He said the experiment could be relocated from a mine in Minnesota to a deeper facility in Ontario, Canada.
The matter we can see makes up just 17% of matter in the Universe; the remaining 83% is "dark", meaning it does not reflect or emit detectable light.
The existence of dark matter has been inferred through the gravitational pull it exerts on luminous galaxies and stars.
Though scientists have no idea what it consists of, one popular theory is that dark matter is made up of WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles).
Supporters of the idea believe a large number of WIMPS pass through the Earth every second. But, because they interact only very weakly with normal matter, detecting them is difficult.
Experiments such as CDMSII measure large numbers of particle interactions in their detectors in the hope of spotting one caused by a WIMP.
CDMSII operates at extremely low temperatures and detects the energy released when particles hit atoms in germanium and silicon crystals within the detectors.
CDMSII is currently housed at the Soudan mine in Minnesota. The experiment resides on the 27th level - some 2,341ft below the surface. The original experiment was located in a tunnel on the Stanford University campus in California.
Dr Kos commented: "If we have another successful run at Soudan, we're planning to go even deeper, possibly - to the SNOLAB in Sudbury, Ontario, in Canada.
"It is at 6,000m water equivalent - a figure that's used to compare it to other experiments - but it's about 2km underground."
Going this deep would help reduce the background signals from cosmic ray muon particles. This effect can only be reduced by moving deeper underground.
Last year, team members made headlines when they reported the detection of two signals which could have come from dark matter particles.
However, writing in the American journal Science, they also reported that the statistical likelihood these were due to WIMPs was low.
Dr Kos, from Syracuse University in the US, told BBC News: "We were critical of those events when we saw them. Discovering WIMPs is a big deal and you've got to be sure you're looking at the right thing."
Scientists are in the process of installing improved detection equipment at the Soudan mine.
"We're fabricating bigger detectors and some of those are already underground and operational," said Dr Kos.
These will help exclude false positive signals. The detectors pick up two types of particle interactions: electron recoils and nuclear recoils.
WIMPs hitting the detectors are expected to produce nuclear recoils. But certain electron recoils can look like nuclear recoils - these are known as "surface events".
The new detectors are designed to be much better at distinguishing WIMPs from surface events.
Dr Kos said team members were pushing for the new detection equipment to be fully installed by the Autumn, but that there was as yet no firm timescale.
Meanwhile, several other experiments are joining international efforts to hunt for signals from these particles.
One of these is the Large Underground Xenon (Lux) experiment. Like CDMS, this aims to make a direct detection of WIMP particles, but uses different technology. It is being housed underground at the Homestake mine in South Dakota, US.
Meanwhile, Nasa's Fermi Space Telescope is taking a different approach to try to pin down dark matter. It will look for evidence of dark matter "annihilations" in space.
These annihilations are thought to occur when two WIMPs collide, generating gamma-rays which can be picked up by detectors such as those on board Fermi.
However, speaking at ICHEP, Dr Robert Johnson said team members had found no evidence as yet for these events.

A video of a schoolboy being punched to the ground a week before he was found dead in a Cheltenham park is being investigated by police.

Adam Tharia, 15, died three days after he was found hanged in parkland near Robert Burns Avenue last month.
The footage, circulated online, reportedly shows him being hit while surrounded by a larger group of boys.
Gloucestershire Police confirmed it was aware of the footage and would "assess all relevant information".
"We are keeping an open mind about what this might tell us," a spokesman added.
"It would be inappropriate to discuss the specifics of the investigation while it is ongoing."
Last week the Bournside School pupil's parents paid tribute to the "most wonderful" son who "will be missed by so many".
"The boy we knew and loved was an outdoorsy teenager who loved skateboarding and going out with his friends," they said.
"Adam was intelligent and worked hard at school and was well thought of by his teachers and peers alike."
Gloucestershire Police said the coroner had been informed of Adam's death, which was not being treated as suspicious.


One Briton was among the 129 people killed in Friday's attacks in Paris, the Foreign Office has confirmed.

He has been named as Nick Alexander, who died in the attack at the Bataclan concert hall, where he is thought to have been selling merchandise.
His family described him as "generous, funny and fiercely loyal".
A government source said there were fears a "handful" of other British people had been killed. An unspecified number are being treated in hospitals.
A family statement said: "It is with huge sorrow that we can confirm that our beloved Nick lost his life at the Bataclan.
"Nick died doing the job he loved and we take great comfort in knowing how much he was cherished by his friends around the world.
"Thank you for your thoughts and respect for our family at this difficult time. Peace and light."
The Bataclan concert hall suffered the deadliest attack during the wave of violence in Paris, which involved gunmen and suicide bombers. More than 80 people are believed to have died at the concert hall.
The US band Eagles of Death Metal were playing a gig when attackers burst into the venue and opened fire, but the band themselves survived unscathed.
Earlier, Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain's terror threat level was currently "severe", but would be reviewed in light of the attacks.
But he added that "however much we prepare, we in the UK face the same threat" as France.

So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it carried out the attacks, and Mr Cameron said it showed the threat from the group was "evolving", with a "new degree of planning and co-ordination and a greater ambition for mass-casualty attacks".
He added: "The terrorists' aim is clear: it is to divide us and to destroy our way of life.
"So, more than ever, we should come together and stand united and carry on with the way of life that we love."
Mr Cameron told the French people: "Your pain is our pain, your fight is our fight."
He has also called French President Francois Hollande to express his condolences.
Mr Hollande said the attacks were an "act of war" by IS.

At the scene in Trafalgar Square
BBC correspondent Daniel Boettcher
Trafalgar Square is almost full - hundreds of people have gathered for the vigil, some bringing flowers and candles.
The blue, white and red colours of the French flag are projected on the walls of the National Gallery, painted on people's faces and also illuminate the fountains in the square.
One young woman is carrying a placard which reads "Paris is Life" and another sign says "Nous Sommes Paris".
A short time ago there was applause across the square before the crowd sang La Marseillaise.
UK police said there would be strengthened policing at ports, and more officers at public events in the coming days.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said police would "urgently review" tactics to deal with firearms attacks in light of the Paris killings.
"The scale of the attacks and the range of weaponry used by the terrorists are a serious cause for concern," he added.
Nottingham student Hanna Corbett has described the moment attackers in Paris stormed into the Bataclan concert hall during a gig by the Eagles of Death Metal.
"It was towards the end of the concert and it sounded like firecrackers or fireworks," she said.
"People started screaming and the lead singer looked startled and he ran off-stage. Then the lights went on and then everyone dropped to the floor.
"[People were] crawling over each other, just trying to climb out of fire exits. It was pretty inhumane."
Hanna was with her friend Jack, also a student in Nottingham, who said he saw one of the gunmen and dropped to the floor.
He said: "We were dealt a pretty lucky hand to have been so close to it and get out pretty much unscathed."


Chris Forrester grabbed a stoppage-time winner as Peterborough completed a derby double over Northampton.

Posh notched their third league in on the bounce, but they were made to work for it with Adam Smith in good form in goal for the visitors.
Forrester and Leonardo Da Silva Lopes both went close early on, while Marcus Maddison was twice denied by Smith and Tom Nichols shot just wide.
Zander Diamond's header was saved at the other end by Luke McGee, while Alex Revell and Paul Anderson were wasteful when well-positioned in front of goal.
McGee produced a double-save from Sam Hoskins and Revell in quick succession, while Smith continued to frustrate Peterborough by saving from Da Silva Lopes to ensure the sides went in level at the break.
The game opened up in the second half and Brendon Moloney fired just over the bar from the edge of the box for the hosts, as did Jak McCourt.
Both sides had good chances late on, but it was two minutes into stoppage-time when the deadlock was finally broken as Forrester headed home at the far post for his third goal of the season.

Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong says he would prefer not to sue his siblings over claims he abused his power, despite calls to settle a family feud.

Mr Lee spoke in parliament following weeks of a fierce public dispute between him and his brother and sister.
The prime minister's siblings have accused him of misusing his influence in a dispute over their father's house.
Mr Lee has repeatedly denied the allegations, most recently in Monday's parliamentary sitting.
Mr Lee and his father, the late leader Lee Kuan Yew, were known for suing critics and opponents for defamation.
He acknowledged that many had asked why he had not taken legal action, and admitted that in "any other imaginable circumstance but this, I would surely sue".
"But suing my own brother and sister in court would further besmirch my parents' names," he said, adding that the lawsuit would cause "more distraction and distress" to the public.
"Therefore, fighting this out in court cannot be my preferred choice."
But de-facto opposition leader Low Thia Khiang said not taking the matter to court gave the impression the government "was afraid of what the Lee siblings will say or reveal".
The row is a rare public spectacle of acrimony within Singapore's tightly disciplined First Family.
For the last three weeks, Mr Lee's siblings Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Wei Ling have lobbed accusations at him on Facebook.
At first Singaporeans were mesmerised but now the saga is tiring them out. Many are confused about the case, and wondering why Mr Lee and his siblings have not resolved the matter through legal action or otherwise.
Singapore is used to swift resolution of public conflicts, and if this does not end soon, questions may be raised about Mr Lee's handling of the feud.
The dispute centres on whether the late Lee Kuan Yew truly wanted his house, known as 38 Oxley Road, to be demolished.
The prime minister's siblings have accused him of wanting to preserve it for his own personal political gain.
In parliament, Mr Lee flatly denied this suggestion. "Regarding the house, and how its continued existence enhances my aura as PM, if I needed such magic properties to bolster my authority even after being your PM for 13 years, I must be in a pretty sad state," he said.
He also denied charges of nepotism involving one of his sons and his wife, and that he had interfered in government decisions on the house.


A Welsh honours system recognising "ordinary people who do extraordinary things" has been announced during a debate in the Senedd.

The first recipients could be presented with the St David Awards next year, but it is unclear how much it will cost to introduce or what shape it will take.
The debate also looked at the possibility of making St David's Day a bank holiday.
The Conservatives said the award needed to be independent of government.
Meanwhile, the TaxPayers' Alliance questioned the introduction of a new honour at a time when public bodies were making cuts.
Welsh people from all walks of life are already recognised along with others throughout the UK and Commonwealth in the annual New Year and Queen's Birthday Honours lists.
First Minister Carwyn Jones announced the new award in the Senedd after a Welsh Conservative motion called for a new Welsh honours system and for St David's Day to be made a bank holiday.
The Conservatives, Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Liberal Democrats made a commitment to a bank holiday on 1 March in their 2011 election manifestos, while the Conservatives have proposed a Welsh "Order of St David's" for some years.
Outlining the Welsh government's proposals to launch a new awards system, Mr Jones said: "I have often felt humbled by the extraordinary stories of individuals who work tirelessly, without publicity or self-interest, for the benefit of others and who genuinely make Wales a better place.
"I can today announce that from 2014 I will be launching the St David Awards. These awards will present opportunity for nominations from a broad range of walks of life to be recognised.
"Work is currently being carried out by my officials to identify the appropriate sectors for recognition and the deliberation process for making the awards.
"A starting point will be ordinary people who do extraordinary things."
He said the award would recognise people who did more than they needed to, and those who made a difference to the quality of life in Wales.
"I want to see a strong business component in the awards - the private sector is the lifeblood of our economy and I want to see that dimension properly recognised," he added.
"I would also like to see recognition for individuals who contribute to raising Wales' profile in the world - this, too, makes a powerful contribution to both our social and economic well-being."
Conservative Suzy Davies, the shadow heritage minister, said the St David Awards were in danger of being seen as government awards and they needed to be independent.
"A system which reflects and demonstrates honour bestowed by the Welsh nation needs to be independent of government and consensus around this is clearly emerging," she said.
Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said it was good to recognise achievement, but the cost of new awards and of the committees put together to select recipients, must be kept to a minimum.
"Public bodies are making necessary spending cuts, so many taxpayers will question the timing of announcing new initiatives that could cost even more money when savings have to be made," he added.


Aspiring actors, tourists, mothers and office workers are packing the Hollywood Fresh & Easy supermarket, shopping for a quick sushi lunch, a post-workout protein fix, or their weekly grocery stop.

It doesn't look like a business in turmoil and many regular customers are surprised to hear that its future is in doubt.
"It's always busy," says Nayeli Gonzalez as she bags her groceries with her two young children.
"It's convenient. I can walk from home. Otherwise I have to take a train."
When Britain's largest supermarket chain opened in California six years ago, there was talk of revolutionising the way Americans shop and bringing fresh, wholesome food to all neighbourhoods, rich and poor.
The stores had only self-checkouts, for example, an unusual concept in the US where Americans were used to being helped by a clerk, and typically having someone bag their groceries for them, or at least offer to help.
Tesco's exit from US to cost ??1.2bnPeston: Tesco to lose its crown?
But on Wednesday, Tesco announced it would be abandoning its 199 Fresh & Easy stores, which are all on America's West Coast.
Critics say the chain miscalculated the market and failed to cater to American tastes. It has been an expensive mistake, costing Tesco ??1.2bn.
"My sense is that what they tried to do was make a European model," says Prof Anthony Dukes, at the USC Marshall School of Business.
"Europeans tend to make more frequent trips to grocery stores, maybe every day or every other day, where Americans are used to going for bigger trips less frequently," he says, adding that busy Americans prefer to buy in bulk.
Nearly half of British retailers believe the US remains the hardest market in which to achieve commercial success, according to the findings of a survey released by Barclays last week.
Despite a shared language and heritage, Britons view the US as more difficult to master than China, which ranked second in the survey.
"The mistake many British retailers have made is to treat the US as one country," says Richard Lowe, head of retail at Barclays.
"The US is a little bit like Europe. When you go there you have be more targeted.
"Different states are not exactly like different countries, but they have very different markets."
According to Prof Dukes, Fresh & Easy's shop-more-often convenience store format may have worked better on the East Coast of America.
"The East Coast is denser and has perhaps more pedestrian traffic, on the West Coast we have more cars. That might make a difference," he says.
But some UK retailers have had great commercial success in the US, and getting the location right played a big part, analysts say.

Early lunchtime in Manhattan and the Pret on the corner of 29th and Seventh is already filling up.
"I come here every day," says one female customer. "I work right down the street. It's easy and fast and healthy."
Convenience and a healthier alternative to other fast food outlets make Pret a popular choice in New York.
There is no noticeable difference with the portion sizes in the UK, despite Americans' infamous love of large helpings.
Despite its French name, most people seem aware that the company is actually British, though few in this cosmopolitan city seem to care.
Some point out that the prices aren't always that cheap, but as one customer puts it, "This is New York, nothing's that cheap."
Topshop now has four stores here including a new 25,000 sq-foot store in Los Angeles. Its boss Sir Philip Green has decided to concentrate on big cities and has said he hopes to turn the fashion into a $1bn US business in the next five years.
And it is difficult to walk a few blocks in Manhattan without stumbling on a Pret A Manger restaurant.
The chain has purposely grown gradually since it launched in 2000 and now has 34 locations in New York City, with another opening soon; seven in both Washington DC and Chicago and two in Boston.
Pret A Manger's choice of New York as its entry point to America was a shrewd one, according to Faith Hope Consolo, chair of the retail group at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, which advises international retailers looking to enter the US.
"London and New York are so similar in many ways, both demographically and architecturally. Both cities are on the go, with a desire for quick meals, not fast-food," she says.
"Pret A Manger satisfies that. [It offers] quality food, but also the ability to grab it and go.
"They're a natural for any great busy city, so yes, they really did choose their entries well."
The packaged sandwich chain has also tailored its UK products to the local market, according to its marketing director Mark Palmer.
"Rather than crayfish and rocket sandwich on sale in the UK, Pret has a Maryland spiced shrimp and spinach sandwich in the US," he tells BBC News.
"Pret has also learned that there is a distinctive difference in the coffee tastes in the US. In the UK Pret sells more cappuccinos and lattes than the US, the US customers prefer filter - or drip - coffee."
Fresh & Easy did its homework. It hired anthropologists and studied Californians' eating and shopping habits.
Its stores opened to great fanfare in neighbourhoods around California considered "food deserts," dominated by the cheap, fast-food driving America's obesity epidemic.
That noble goal to locate in gentrifying and poor neighbourhoods may have hurt their prospects, says Bryan Roberts, the UK-based director of retail insights for Kantar Retail.
"No doubt they made some fundamental mistakes in terms of store locations, merchandise and marketing," Mr Roberts says, adding that the recession played a big part in Tesco's failings in the United States.
"Not to absolve responsibility from Tesco but it was unfortunate timing. No one could have predicted the sub-prime crisis and the consequences of it. If they'd timed it five years earlier, it might have been a different story."
It is also worth noting that the stores' smaller, neighbourhood market feel is one being adopted by mega discount retailer Wal-Mart.
The big box chain plans to open a smaller store in LA's Chinatown - if it can get by a lawsuit filed by neighbourhood activists fighting its plans.
The confirmation of Tesco's exit from the US puts the future of the stores in doubt, although it said it had received some expressions of interest from third parties.
The Hollywood Fresh & Easy is one of the chain's busier branches and it is in an area with a lot of foot traffic, located on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
"I love it because it's a neighbourhood market," says aspiring actor Yohan Lefevre, while enjoying his Fresh & Easy sandwich after working out at the gym next door.
"I like the size, there is not much else like this in Hollywood. I can walk here. If they close I will take a national day of mourning and mark it every year! I'm serious. I will be really sad."


Newts have set back the start of building work on a new railway station in Derbyshire by four months.

Work was due to start on Ilkeston station in June but the discovery of the great-crested newts means work cannot start until October.
The Â£6.5m station will now open in spring 2015, rather than December, as was originally planned, the county council said.
Councillor Andy Botham said he was "disappointed".
The county council said extra flooding prevention work also had to be carried out.
"Building a station is a complex civil engineering project and we've needed to work with many organisations. We've had a number of set-backs which were beyond our control and couldn't be foreseen," said Mr Botham.
"We know that this will be frustrating for local people, as it is for us, but we are doing all we can to get the station built as quickly as possible," he said.
The newts - a species protected by law - were found during a routine ecological site survey, the council said, and an application to Natural England for a licence to work on the site has been submitted.
The licence sets out what work can be carried out while the amphibians are trapped and relocated.
Four culverts must be built under the station car park to take floodwater, under new requirements for flood protection.
Mr Botham said that, once work starts it is likely to take place six days a week, with some work taking place overnight, in a bid to speed up progress.
Ilkeston is thought to be the largest town on the rail network without a station.


A fishing boat has been towed to safety after it began taking on water.

The crew of the Stornoway-registered Prevail raised the alarm at about 03:00 when the vessel was about 31 miles east of Montrose.
Aberdeen Coastguard was alerted after the boat's emergency beacon was activated.
A helicopter from RAF Lossiemouth was initially called out. The Montrose lifeboat is now towing the boat back to the town.
The four-man crew had been pumping out water.


Two people have been arrested after an investigation into the alleged "slave-like" exploitation of Lithuanian men.

A man, aged 52, and woman, 50, were held on suspicion of human trafficking for labour exploitation following a dawn raid by Kent Police in Maidstone.
It is claimed the men were threatened with violence and forced to live in squalid conditions while working as chicken catchers for the food industry.
Police say a total of 32 workers could be at risk from exploitation.
Friday morning's raid on the offices of a licensed gangmaster followed a multi-agency investigation.
Liam Vernon, from the UK Human Trafficking Centre (UKHTC) at the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), said: "We suspect the people arrested today were involved in the trafficking of Lithuanian men into the United Kingdom for exploitation within the food industry.
"It's alleged that the men, who will now receive specialist care and support from Soca's vulnerable persons team and the Salvation Army, were subjected to slave-like conditions and controlled through the use of violence."
Chicken catchers are employed to grab several of the animals at a time and take them to their desired destination, as they cannot be herded.
Det Insp Keith Roberts said the migrant workers were reportedly forced to work in an environment giving little or no regard to their safety or well-being.
The men also spent hours being transported around the country in minibuses without pay, it is further alleged.
The Gangmasters' Licensing Authority (GLA) said it was determined to drive out those who abused and exploited vulnerable workers.
Chief executive Ian Livsey said: "There is no hiding place for those who exploit the vulnerable, and neither we nor our partner law enforcement agencies will tolerate abuse of the vulnerable worker."


Early agreement has been reached on North Sea fishing quotas for next year, with an increase in key stocks for Scottish fishermen.

Total catches of cod, haddock and plaice have been increased, the Scottish government said.
Catches of saithe, whiting and herring will be decreased in line with long-term management plans.
Talks between the EU and Norway agreed the total allowable catch for cod would be 29,189 tonnes, 5% up on 2014.
The increase will give UK fishermen an additional 542 tonnes and Scottish fishermen around 343 tonnes.
A 6% increase in the haddock catch to 40,711 tonnes gives the UK an additional 3,468 tonnes and Scottish fishermen more than 2,500 extra tonnes.
Scottish Fisheries Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "I am pleased there has been an increase in the quota of these key stocks for next year which is in line with the recent scientific advice that the stocks are in good shape.
"It is welcome the agreement has been reached quickly this year compared to the protracted talks last year and will provide certainty for the industry about opportunities in 2015 and avoids any delays to the commencement of fishing in the new year.
"There is much to be done to prepare for the discard ban which starts to come into force for white fish from 2016. This outcome will help these stocks continue to rebuild next year while also helping to minimise discards, and should provide a sound launchpad for establishing the following year's quota under the ban.
"We now look ahead to the crucial December EU fisheries council when we will be highlighting again that our vessels need to retain the number of days they can go to sea as any cut would simply be counterproductive."
UK Fisheries Minister George Eustice said the agreements were an "excellent result for the UK".
He said: "It sees UK fishermen getting a 5% increase in their quota for cod - the second successive rise in annual cod quota in two years. The increase is an encouraging sign that we are achieving our goals; a thriving fishing industry with sustainable fish stocks.
"The deal also saw a 7% rise in North Sea haddock and 15% rise in plaice quotas. This is great news for our fisheries ahead of vital quota negotiations next month where I will be representing UK fishermen."


House prices in cities such as Liverpool, Cardiff and Southampton rose sharply in the first three months of the year, a survey has suggested.

Hometrack, which monitors property prices in 20 UK cities, suggested that the increase was driven by interest from buy-to-let investors.
It recorded house price growth of 4.1% in Liverpool and London in the first quarter of the year.
This was the fastest rise among cities across the country, it said.
Over the 20 cities as a whole, house price growth was at its strongest for 12 years in the first three months of the year.
A regular "Spring bounce" in the market was extended by a move by investors to avoid the change in stamp duty on 1 April. A 3% stamp duty surcharge has now been introduced for purchases of homes that are not the buyer's main residence.
On Thursday, figures from HM Revenue and Customs said that 161,990 properties were sold in the UK in March, the highest monthly number since June 2006, and up from 92,690 sales in February.
Gross mortgage lending hit Â£25.7bn in March, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said. This was 59% higher than in the same month a year earlier.
Richard Donnell, insight director at Hometrack, predicted that activity in the market would now fall away, echoing a number of other commentators.
"We believe house prices will continue to rise but a moderation in investor demand and greater caution in the run up to the EU referendum will limit further acceleration in prices," he said.
"Most likely the rate of growth will slow more rapidly in high-value, low-yielding cities such as London where prices will be more responsive to weaker investor demand."


Whatever else the battle for Mosul may involve, it will not be the element of surprise.

The operation to drive so-called Islamic State (IS) from Iraq's second-largest city has been long promised and much delayed.
The latest indications are it could begin next month, more than two years after IS took Mosul and proclaimed its caliphate.
The northern city is now the last bastion of IS in Iraq. The authorities in Baghdad say the liberation of Mosul will spell the end of IS on Iraqi soil.
Some predict the likely power-struggle afterwards could spell the end for Iraq, in its current form.
For the Peshmerga (whose name means "Those who confront death") the push to Mosul cannot come soon enough.
The formidable fighting force of the autonomous Kurdish region has a 620-mile (1,000km) frontline with IS.
Peshmerga fighters, on the jagged peaks of Mount Bashiq, have spent two years staring across the parched plain of Nineveh towards Mosul, a tantalising seven miles (12km) away.
The nearest IS fighters are closer still.
"Between us and them there is just one kilometre," said Gen Nabi Ahmed Doulemeri - a squat figure with a neat moustache - pointing to the town of Bashiq at the foot of the mountain.
"They have tried to attack us 30 or 40 times but each time we have defeated them. And we will defeat them in Mosul, God willing."
Within minutes of our arrival, IS fired a mortar at his sandbagged frontline position, but it fell short. Commanders said the militants were registering our presence.
The Peshmerga are confident of victory, though they lack basic equipment.
"A lot of these guys have bought their own weapons, shoes and uniforms," said Alan Duncan, a British army veteran who has taken up arms with the Kurds.
He says the international community has provided only "token" support, though, in his view, the Peshmerga are defending the West.
"If Daesh [IS] got their caliphate here the next step for them would be Europe," he said. "Nice, Paris would be nothing to what we would see. The fact of the matter is that the Peshmerga held the line, and has started to push them back.
"This isn't a fight just for the Peshmerga, just for Kurdistan, this is a fight for the West, this is a fight for humanity."
The Scottish volunteer - a sniper - rode shotgun as we bumped along dirt tracks, touring the frontline in a Humvee.
He said he had no hesitation pulling the trigger on IS.  "They are nothing," he said. "It's like putting your foot on an ant. They are savage, they are not humans."
In their push against IS, the Kurds are already redrawing the map of northern Iraq. They have expanded the area under their control by an estimated 50%.
Over glasses of hot, sweet tea, veteran Kurdish commander Gen Wasta Rasul said there would be no pulling back.
"Why should we withdraw? If we do, the enemy [IS] can come back in. We should have new negotiations with Baghdad, and these areas should be part of Kurdistan."
The general, who has 23,000 men under his command, insisted the Peshmerga would enter Mosul to help drive IS out, in co-ordination with the Shia-dominated Iraqi army.
Once the extremists are defeated (estimates range from weeks to months) he says both forces should withdraw from the city, where most of the population are Sunni Arabs.
After the Mosul offensive, he says the Kurds will be pressing ahead with a referendum on independence in their areas. "Iraq can't stay as one unit, " he says. "There should be three federations - Sunni, Shia and Kurds. For me there is no unified Iraq."
Whatever the future of Iraq - or lack of it - the immediate challenge is expelling the extremists from Mosul.
They have dug in for a long fight, according to an IS defector now in Kurdish hands.  The 23-year-old turned himself in, complete with his IS-issued radio and assault rifle.
We have decided not to identify him as he has relatives living in areas under IS control.
"They have underground tunnels, all around Mosul, six metres [20ft] below ground," he said. "They have underground bunkers with bathrooms, and they have stockpiled enough food to last for five years.
"They have many cars full of C4 [explosives] and they are trying to modify 120mm canons to use mustard gas."
We cannot verify his account, but clearly the militants have had plenty of time for prepare for the long-promised assault.
As the Kurds close in on Mosul from the east, the Iraqi army is pushing forward from the south.
Both are being assisted by air strikes by the US-led coalition, which have left a trail of pancaked buildings in towns like Qayyarah.
Iraqi troops took the town late last month - their latest victory on the road to Mosul. During our visit it was blanketed by choking black smoke  - courtesy of IS who set the oil wells alight.
Eissa Omar Hassan, an official in the health ministry, was one of the few locals we saw on the streets. He told us life under IS was unjust, harsh and exhausting.
"They are barbarians," he said. "They don't value human beings.  Even themselves. They banned cigarettes. Women had to be covered, only their eyes could show. Even young kids in school were affected - they'd teach them that a bullet plus a bullet makes two, a mine plus a mine makes two."
Mr Hassan led us to an IS jail, where prisoners were kept in cells little bigger than a wardrobe and as airless as a tomb. Locals told us up to four men could be crammed into a single cell.
The names and arrival dates of the some of the prisoners were still taped to a door. We do not know their fate.
But freeing Mosul from horrors like this will come at a price.
Aid agencies are warning the assault on the city could spark a mass exodus and a humanitarian crisis. The United Nations is warning that as many as one million people could flee the city.
"It could be the largest manmade disaster in many years," said Bruno Geddo, of the UN refugee agency (UNHCR).
"We are already catering for 3.4 million displaced Iraqis, so on top of the care and maintenance activities you will have to prepare and to rush to prepare. So you have double stress to deal with."
If IS decides to flee to Syria and regroup the situation will be more manageable, he said.  But he outlined another possible scenario  - that IS decides to make a last stand in the city, because of its huge symbolic value.
"They may want Mosul to die with them," he told us. "In this case it would be apocalyptic."


Bath have confirmed the signing of versatile centre Robbie Fruean and prop Shaun Knight.

Fruean, 28, will arrive from Hawke's Bay next month, following the end of the Mitre 10 Cup in New Zealand.
Wellington-born Fruean can also play on the wing and has represented the Chiefs and the Hurricanes in Super Rugby.
Meanwhile, former Gloucester tighthead Knight, 26, arrives on a loan deal until the end of the season from Newport Gwent Dragons.
Knight made more than 20 appearances for Newport in the Pro12 last season.
"We are really excited that Robbie has agreed to join us here at Bath," director of rugby Todd Blackadder said.
First-team coach Toby Booth added: "Shaun is a very strong scrummager, and we're excited to see how he continues to develop now that he's with us."


There are still tribes in British politics.

They may have weakened as voters increasingly act like consumers, happy to switch brands.
But the tribes can still be spotted - groups that could only belong in one political party.
They were there on Monday in Chippenham where David Cameron chose to make the first stump speech of his campaign.
It could have been a country fair or an auction room in the Wiltshire town.
This was the tribe and they visibly brightened when he spoke of "moaning, left-wing commentators" and referred to the Labour leader Ed Miliband as "the man who forgot to mention the deficit".
All political parties need to shore up their base. And even though politics may have changed, the old visceral caricatures still have potency.
So Mr Cameron has quite deliberately gone personal.
"When it comes to who's prime minister, the personal is national," he says.
Labour is depicted as a "bunch of hypocritical, holier-than-thou, hopeless, sneering socialistsâ€¦ the same old condescending, bossy, interfering we-know-best attitude of the Hampstead socialist down the ages".
In many political cultures, politicians go after the metropolitan liberal elite.
In France the centre right mocks rich leftists as the gauche caviar.
In the US, the Republicans scornfully denounce the Washington insiders who "know best".
Although Labour has said it will refrain from personal attacks, it portrays Mr Cameron's government as for "the few at the top".
After the Budget, the Labour leader Ed Miliband said "it's a recovery for the few from a government of the few".
Many Labour supporters like to portray the Conservatives as a party of rich donors, backed by the heavy pockets in the City or by those who live "offshore".
As Len McCluskey, general secretary of the Unite union, said: "If you're a hedge fund, a wealthy retiree or a business shy of providing fairly paid, secure employment, [the Chancellor George] Osborne's Britain is the place for you."
On Monday the actor Martin Freeman came out in support of Labour and said "it was a choice between two completely different sets of values".
The Tories, he said, would "take us on a rollercoaster of cuts".
As Andrew Rawnsley recently wrote in the Observer, both parties "campaign as if they are still back in the 1950s when it really was a two-horse race".
In 1955, the Conservatives and Labour took 96% of the vote. This time round they are each struggling to hold on to a third of votes cast.
The same trend is happening in Europe.
In 1980 an average of 9.8% of the electorates in 13 established democracies were party members.
By the end of the 1990s that figure had almost halved. And the trend has accelerated.
As Peter Mair noted in his book Ruling the Void, voters since the 1980s "appear increasingly accidental or even random.
"There is a world of the parties, or a world of political leaders, that is separate from the world of the citizenry."
All over Europe, citizens are moving away from the established political parties - but the election campaign is still pitched as if the old world continued.
Tribal loyalties may be weakening but Mr Cameron is keen to point out that the choice of prime minister is between him and Mr Miliband.
So the core of the Conservative campaign - as underlined in Chippenham - is to portray Labour as about "more taxes, more spending and more debt", with the line: "Don't put it [the recovery] at risk".
Labour also comes with its warnings; of a Tory party set to reduce the size of the state to the smallest in 80 years; of a recovery that has not reached ordinary people; of a Tory party too dangerous to be left in charge of the National Health Service for five more years.
The reality is that the differences between the two main parties are relatively small.
They are both hemmed in by economic reality.
Both recognise there is a funding gap of Â£30bn that will have to be filled one way or another.
Both parties have ring-fenced the health and education budgets.
In broad terms, Labour says it will cut less than the Tories, and the Tories say they will tax less than Labour.
If the foundation stones are similar, it becomes even more important to find differences, to demand that your opponent reveals precisely where their cuts in welfare spending will fall.
In a tight race, part of the campaigning will be to embed the caricatures, to deepen the doubts.
Much voting comes down to a gut instinct.
The political parties are trying to sow broad messages: "Don't risk the recovery"; or end a government "for the few".
Part of implanting those broad themes is often to go personal.
The public may say they do not like it but it has long been part of politics.


Anti-fracking campaigners apparently super-glued themselves to the doors of a government building as part of orchestrated protests around the UK.

Reclaim the Power set up camp in the doorway to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in London.
Other members brought major traffic disruption to Swansea after blockading a new university building.
Police have been in attendance at both sites.
The campaigners from Reclaim the Power's six-day camp at Blackpool said they were reacting to the release of a UK government report last week.
They claimed 63 sections on the potential impacts of shale gas exploration on rural communities had been deleted.
They said the missing sections include analysis around falling house prices and failing rural services.
They say the chapter examining the effect of drilling on house prices had three sections cut.
At 08:00 BST on Monday in London three activists super-glued themselves to the doors, while another activist climbed the building and put up a banner which read: "What's to hide Defra? - Don't frack with our future."
One of the campaigners apparently super-glued to Defra's doors was Lindsay Alderton, from London.
She said it was "shameful" the government was "keeping secret the impacts of shale gas extraction" and the public "has a right to know".
"This morning we're here at Defra to remind them that they work for the public that pays them their wages, and that the public demands to know the facts about fracking - censoring is not an acceptable option," added Ms Alderton.
Some other activists wore black tape across their mouths.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said officers were called at 07:30 BST and there were about 15 protesters at the scene - some had climbed scaffolding.
Meanwhile in Swansea, eight protesters shut down construction of a new Swansea University building on Fabian Way - the main route into the city from the M4.
The protest began at 06:00 BST and caused chaos for commuters.
The activists said they dressed as "mad scientists" to protest against fracking research. They camped outside the site and dropped a "No Fracking" banner from the top of the building while another protester was locked on to a tripod.
They say they are "angered" by "tens of millions of public money being funnelled into research on fracking via Swansea University's new Energy Safety Research Institute".
A spokeswoman for Swansea University confirmed the UK and Welsh governments had both funded research at the institute into "all types of energy, and one of those could be fracking".
She also confirmed previous landowners BP had donated the site to the university, which the protesters have highlighted.
South Wales Police said it acknowledged the campaigners' right "to peaceful protest" and tried to minimise disruption to the community during the protest - which ended at around 13.00 BST.
Activists have also staged a "die-in" at the Blackpool branch of HSBC the bank providing its services to a fracking company, while a PR agency for the company had activists wearing toxic suits turn up.
A UK government spokesman said: "There is no evidence that house prices have been affected in over half a century of oil and gas exploration in the UK or evidence that this would be the case with shale.
"This government believes that shale has a positive part to play in our future energy mix, providing energy security, driving growth and creating jobs."


A man has been banned from teaching after he sexually harassed colleagues, made inappropriate comments to pupils and had sex on school premises.

Michael Hall, 51, told pupils at Parkside Community School, Chesterfield they had "nice legs" and made sexual innuendos at women he worked with.
He also had sex with a teaching assistant during school time in a store room.
Hall has been banned from teaching at any school in England.
Live updates and more from Derbyshire
He resigned from the Derbyshire school in July 2014, during an investigation.
Hall also failed to tell Parkside Community School he had been jailed for theft when he was a police officer.
A prohibition order has now been made banning him indefinitely from teaching at any school, sixth form college, youth accommodation or children's home in England.
Mr Hall, was jailed at Nottingham Crown Court in 1997 for two offences of theft, which were committed in 1996.
He stole cash from a police station and also took Â£180 from a suicide victim - altering the note to indicate they had left Â£20 instead of Â£200.
Hall qualified as a teacher after his release from prison and started working at the school in January 2006 as the head of design and technology.
However, the school only found out about his convictions after he had been appointed.
He then admitted taking cash from the police station, but did not mention taking the suicide victim's money.
During his employment at the school he sexually harassed five of his female colleagues, most of whom were teaching assistants.
He made inappropriate comments to numerous pupils and touched some of them inappropriately, such as putting his hands on their shoulders and playing with their hair.
He was suspended in January 2014 while the school investigated internally, then eventually resigned in July 2014.
A professional conduct panel of the National College for Teaching and Leadership found him guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
Michael Hall had sex and oral sex with a teaching assistant during school time at various locations within the school, including a store room adjacent to his classroom and a school cellar.
He denied having a sexual relationship with the woman but the panel accepted her account, judging her to be a "careful and truthful witness".
The panel said his sexual harassment was "targeted at junior colleagues, some of whom can be properly described as vulnerable".
The comments started with "gentle flirtation" but over time became "more direct and salacious involving overt sexual content or unmistakable innuendo".
They included "I'm admiring your underwear, what have you got on?".
Some of the colleagues described unwelcome physical contact, such as touching their bottom, or him placing their hand on his penis, over his trousers.
He referred to some pupils as "chicken legs" and made references to KFC when he talked about others' legs.
One girl said: "I used to wear a skirt in year 8 but I stopped wearing it because Mr Hall commented that he had seen better legs in KFC."
He told other girls they had "nice legs" or they "looked nice in a skirt", and made comments about the size of girls' bottoms.
He told some to pull their skirts up because they were too low, and others to pull their tops down because they were "not showing enough cleavage".
He touched some pupils inappropriately, such as putting his hands on their shoulders and playing with their hair.
One girl said in her interview: "Mr Hall is a bit touchy-feely. He goes behind girls only and rubs their shoulder."


Former New Zealand cricketer Chris Cairns has been cleared of perjury and perverting the course of justice.

Mr Cairns, 45, was accused at Southwark Crown Court of falsely declaring under oath during a 2012 libel case that he had "never, ever cheated at cricket".
During that libel case he had successfully sued Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi for accusing him on Twitter of match-fixing.
Speaking outside court, the retired all-rounder said it had been "hell".
His former adviser, barrister Andrew Fitch-Holland, 50, from Manchester, was also cleared of perverting the course of justice.
Mr Cairns is considered one of New Zealand's greatest ever all-rounders, having played 62 Tests for his country between 1989 and 2004.
He captained the national one-day side on a number of occasions, and also played for Nottinghamshire before a spell in India.
In 2010, Mr Modi's tweet accused Mr Cairns of match-fixing while captain of the Chandigarh Lions in the now-defunct Indian Cricket League in 2008.
Two years later, Mr Cairns won damages of $130,000 (Â£90,000) in England's first Twitter libel trial.
However, the prosecution at Southwark Crown Court claimed he had lied when he promised during the libel trial that he had never cheated.
He was also accused of perverting the course of justice by inducing fellow New Zealand cricketer Lou Vincent to give a false witness statement in a Skype call.
Speaking after the verdict, Mr Cairns, from Auckland, said: "It's not a victory as such because in a case like this, I really don't think there are any winners. It's been hell for everybody involved.
"I think reputationally I'm completely scorched, burned completely, but it hasn't stopped me and it won't stop me."
Asked if he would work in the sport again, he replied, "No, no, no", adding: "It's my choice. I think it would be quite a hard environment to go back into. There has been a lot of damage done and I think that's unfortunate."
Mr Vincent told the court Mr Cairns had approached him to suggest he deliberately play badly for Chandigarh Lions and said he had helped to fix matches under "direct orders" from Mr Cairns.
Brendon McCullum, the current New Zealand captain, also gave evidence against Mr Cairns, accusing him of twice asking him to fix matches - the first time in Kolkata, India, the second in Worcester.
Mr Cairns acknowledged both meetings had taken place, but said there was nothing sinister about them and Mr McCullum's version of events was wrong.
He told the jury there was "no truth" to allegations he had tried to persuade his team-mate Mr Vincent to join him in cheating, and was "shocked" that Mr McCullum could accuse him of trying to recruit him to fix results.
He said he had discussed "spot-fixing" - where a player corruptly influences a specific element of a match, such as the number of no-balls - with Mr McCullum and explained spread-betting to him because match-fixing was "topical" in India at the time.
But Mr Cairns said there was "minimal" time spent discussing match-fixing, and it was "completely wrong" to suggest spread-betting was equivalent to match-fixing.


Argentina's new president has unveiled a new official Twitter account after outgoing leader Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner decided to keep the old one.

It was the latest public spat over the transfer of power since Mauricio Macri narrowly beat Ms Fernandez's chosen successor.
She boycotted Mr Macri's inauguration two weeks ago in a row over the venue.
Ms Fernandez had led Argentina since 2007, taking over the presidency from her husband Nestor after elections.
Nestor Kirchner, who died in 2010, came to power in 2003.
The administration of Mauricio Macri now uses the Twitter handle @CasaRosada - named after the iconic pink presidential palace in Buenos Aires.
One of the first messages posted on the account reads: "Today the #CasaRosada finds us united. There's change in the air and we're ready to grow."
Less than 24 hours after being unveiled, the new official site was showing more than 100,000 followers.
The previous official account @CasaRosadaAR now describes itself as a "Twitter tribute" to the presidencies of Ms Fernandez and her late husband, Nestor Kirchner - and "not official from 10 December 2015". It currently shows 326,000 followers.
Twitter removed the blue badge marking it as a verified account on 10 December, AFP news agency reports.
Mr Macri's victory was the first in more than a decade for Argentina's centre-right opposition and ended the Peronist Party's 12-year rule.


A human foot which washed up on an island near Anglesey has been identified as the body part of a missing woman from Gwynedd.

The foot, in a boot, was found by a walker on Llanddwyn Island on 11 September.
DNA tests have confirmed it was that of Avril Whitfield, 57, who was last seen leaving her Caernarfon home on 1 April 2016.
Her death is not being treated as suspicious.
In a statement, Ms Whitfield's family said: "It is with a heavy heart we can confirm that the boot with remains found on Llanddwyn beach was that of Avril.
"[Her sister] Ann's family and close friends would like to thank all the people of Caernarfon and surrounding areas for all their support and kindness shown to them during the months that Avril was missing.
"Avril was very well liked and very much loved by all who knew her."


Scarborough's Futurist Theatre has entertained tens of thousands of people over its 92-year history and won a place in the hearts of many of the town's residents and regular visitors.

The venue, which seats more than 2,000 people, has played host to legendary acts including the Beatles, Morecambe and Wise, Shirley Bassey and Ken Dodd since it opened in 1921.
However, to others the Futurist is little more than a seashore eyesore, prime for demolition and redevelopment.
And, after its doors closed for what may be the last time on Sunday, its supporters and detractors took to social media sites to have their say.
Victoria Rice-Heaps wrote on BBC Look North's Facebook page, saying: "Very sad, and we have lost a piece of history."
Laine Glover wrote: "A great, atmospheric place! Shame."
Dozens of others came forward to name the acts and entertainers they had seen perform over the years, including Val Doonican, Michael Barrymore, Gary Barlow and Cannon and Ball.
Cathy Ingledow wrote: "Have laughed till tears streamed down my face, at the antics of Ken Dodd, not once but many times."
Alan Hopkins said: "I saw the Beatles there - the Fab Four. Waste of time paying for a seat when over 2000 people were standing and waving and shouting. What a fabulous night."
Others took time to slam the theatre, branding it ugly.
Liam McCausland said: "Glad its gone. Its an eyesore that will soon be underwater. The council chose the open air theatre and the spa. Good on them."
Andrew Lawson wrote: "An eyesore, hopefully some nice apartments in its place."
The future of the theatre now hangs in the balance.
Scarborough Borough Council has agreed to mothball the venue for three months to allow time for a potential operator to come forward.
Campaign group Save our Futurist has announced it hopes to put together a business plan and Â£3m regeneration package in time to rescue the building.
If no viable operator comes forward the theatre will be closed permanently, paving the way for redevelopment of the site as part of a wider project to develop land between Foreshore Road and St Nicholas Street, including the town hall.
The site of the Futurist first began to be used for entertainment back in 1903 when the Kiralphi Brothers' Arcadia Theatre opened.
In 1912, the Palladium Picture House opened up next door.
In 1920, the Arcadia closed and was demolished to make way for the Futurist, which operated as a cinema and then a theatre until, after one final screening, the shutters went up.

A former Japanese newsreader who won legions of admirers after deciding to publicly chronicle her battle with cancer has died of the disease.

Mao Kobayashi, who was named one of the BBC's 100 Women in 2016, died late on Thursday at home in Tokyo, aged 34.
Her husband, famous kabuki actor Ebizo Ichikawa, said in his own blog it was "the day I cried most in my life".
Ms Kobayashi's blog was ground-breaking in a country where people do not like to discuss personal issues.
Like many others, she had initially concealed her battle with breast cancer from public view, scared of "being associated" with illness as she continued to aspire to the ideal of "the perfect mother".
Writing for the BBC last year, the mother-of-two admitted: "I had been blaming myself and thinking of myself as a 'failure' for not being able to live as I had before. I was hiding behind my pain."
It was only after a Japanese media outlet published a story about her illness that she decided to "step into the sunlight" and discovered how much support there was for her in Japan.
Ms Kobayashi's last entry onto the blog was posted on Tuesday, describing how she was enjoying the taste of orange juice squeezed by her mother.
She had been hoping at see a performance by her four-year-old on 3 July.
Unfortunately, that was not to be.
Mr Ichikawa, who lost his father, the famed kabuki actor Danjuro Ichikawa XII to pneumonia four years ago, told a press conference on Friday that the family gathered on Thursday after Ms Kobayashi's mother realised her condition had taken a turn for the worse.
"Mao was able to talk the day before yesterday, but yesterday, she was unable to speak. When she passed, she was looking at me. She said 'I love you' and left us."
Mr Ichikawa said his wife continued to think only of her family and "show them her smile" until the last, adding: "She fought the cancer hard, she thought she could be of help to others if she could cure the illness.
"That's why she started her blog. Because of the media, her illness became public, and in a way, it was a good thing.
"By starting the blog, she could share feelings with those who're fighting the same illness. She was incredible. I know I'll keep learning from her."


A Catholic monk has been found guilty of a catalogue of abuse to pupils at an East Lothian residential school during "a regime of fear".

Michael Murphy, 82, was known as Brother Benedict at St Joseph's List D School in Tranent.
Irish-born Murphy denied a string of charges against him during his trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.
A jury convicted him of 15 charges of assault and indecent assault involving eight boys over the decade up to 1981.
Murphy was acquitted of a further two charges on Thursday.
Victims told his trial he had laughed when administering electric shocks to boys.
One boy had his hands burned and another lapsed into unconsciousness.
One pupil was locked in an unlit cupboard overnight and another was urinated on by the De La Salle brother.
One 57-year-old man told the High Court in Edinburgh: "Because of what happened to me in there my children never went to a Catholic school."
Another former pupil at St Joseph's described how he was painfully molested by Murphy during a sex attack.
The 49-year-old said: "As soon as he saw me turn around he punched me on the jaw to make me turn away. "
Another boy was abused by the monk and an accomplice when he was aged 14 or 15 in the showers.
He was also warned that if he told anyone of the sexual abuse he would never see his parents again.
A 57-year-old man told the court he suffered a beating at the school that left him screaming as a belt was wielded on him. "The marks are still on my back today," he said.
"You got that if you brought the school into disrepute, if you brought the police to the door," he said.
One teenager told how he was electrocuted until he blacked out.
He was asked by Murphy's defence counsel, Peter Ferguson QC, how the electricity was applied to him and replied: "I couldn't really tell you. All I felt was getting undressed, tied round my privates.
"The shocks were all over me, my head and my arms. It was like a stabbing sensation I was getting."
Murphy, from Hampshire, who trained as a social worker, had maintained his innocence and told jurors: "As a matter of fact I should not be here in this court at all. I have done nothing wrong in St Joseph's."
He said he had taken three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and told the court: "I am a member of a religious order. I have never been involved in sexual abuse in my life with a man, woman or child."
The trial judge, Lord Uist, adjourned the proceedings after the jury returned its verdicts on Thursday afternoon.


Paul Beloy, one of the first black players to feature in the Belgian league, says racism is still a problem in the country - despite Belgium's national team boasting players from a wide range of different backgrounds including Morocco, Kenya, DR Congo and Indonesia.

Beloy moved to Belgium from what was then Zaire now DR Congo as a young boy, and says he had bananas thrown at him in his early football career.
He says racism is still an issue at varying levels in Belgian football.
"In Mechelen, I was the first black person," he told BBC Sport.
"People came to our garden to look at the young black kids as they told each other: 'Their parents live in Africa and still live in the trees.' We were a novelty, a curiosity" said Beloy.
The 59-year-old claims the abuse continued into his playing career and in April 1978 during a game between his Beerschot VAC side and Antwerp, a banana was thrown at him from the stands.
"I picked up that banana and put it aside to continue playing," he continued.
"The next day the newspaper published a cartoon, depicting 'Beloy' with a banana skin. But that was the only reaction, that was it, full stop."
Beloy believes not much has changed over the years especially for youngsters. He currently works with a club in Antwerp whose youth teams are predominantly made up of immigrants.
"Everywhere they go, they face racism - it's the black team playing against the white team -  but these kids are just six, seven or eight years old," he says.
"At youth level, matches shouldn't be competitive. That's what Club Brugge do.
"Alternative solutions to combat the problem would be time outs or a centralised hotline for complaints."
Beloy also feels that even at senior level there are issues.
"Beveren were a team entirely made up of Ivorians, who cost Beveren nothing and they sold them on to the biggest clubs in the world," he points out.
"For me that was pure human trafficking, another form of racism."
It seems that there are still problems in the lower leagues too according to Anthony Mbachu, a striker of Nigerian origin, who plays for amateur side Kalmthout.
He highlights abuse he suffered while playing against Maria-ter-Heide.
"The assistant coach [Patrick] Supilie began to shout - 'it is always the same with you, banana head' - all kinds of racial slurs were hurled my way," said Mbachu.
Supilie later apologised for his comments after the Kalmthout players walked off in protest.
The Belgium Football Association (KBVB) awarded the match to Maria-ter-Heide because the game had to be abandoned.
However Maria-ter-Heide were eventually sanctioned with a three-point deduction for racism.
"I played with Christian Benteke at Standard Liège at youth level and I never encountered a problem then," Mbachu continued.
"It all changed when I went to the provincial level. Opposing defenders often say 'go back to your country.'
"Why? I don't understand. I swallow it, but privately it destroys me."
Crystal Palace striker Benteke was born in the DR Congo capital Kinshasa and was one of ten players with African ancestry who featured in November's Belgian squad for a friendly against the Netherlands and a World Cup qualifier against Estonia.
"The Red Devils are the standout example of how a multicultural society can function,"  said Frank Van Laeken, who co-authored a book on racism in Belgian football with Beloy.
"They are a mix of traditional Belgians and 'new' Belgians, all working together at the top but it's an exception, you don't find that mix of colours and different backgrounds anywhere else in society."
Beloy believes one of the problems is that the football association has been left to deal with the issue of racism.
"One of the problems is that Belgium doesn't have a federal minister of sport," he explained.
"The FA is responsible for the national team and the amateur leagues, the Pro League for the professional club game, but the Belgian system is too fragmented to monitor racism," highlighted Beloy.
The KBVB says that it receives about 25 complaints about racism a year.
"We can't hide behind the Red Devils. Every case of racism is a case too many. It's totally unacceptable," said Belgian FA president François De Keersmaecker.
"We focus on three issues: regulation, repression and prevention.
"To end racism is difficult, but it is paramount that at youth level, in clubs, in schools and in work shops, we act. Young people understand the problem better than the older generation."


Galaxy Note 7 owners in the US who have ignored the global recall of Samsung's smartphone face a fresh effort to make them return their devices.

Mobile network Verizon told Fortune magazine that it planned to divert calls made via the phones so that they reached its staff instead.
It follows dozens of reports of the devices overheating and in some cases bursting into flames.
Samsung is expected to reveal the cause of the problem on Monday.
It pulled the product from the market and cancelled further production in October after an earlier botched recall and re-release.
US operators had already released a software update intended to prevent Note 7s from being able to recharge and connect to their networks.
But Verizon said that thousands of its customers had still not returned the devices, possibly because they had managed to prevent the firmware from being installed.
"The recalled Note 7s pose a safety risk to our customers and those around them," it told Fortune.
It said it would still allow 911 calls to connect to the emergency service, but all other calls would be redirected to its employees, who would demand the return of the handsets.
Customers who refused might be billed the full retail cost of the device, it added.
"This is all about liability," commented Ben Wood from the CCS Insight tech consultancy.
"People may be willing to accept the risk now, but that could change if they experience a catastrophic incident like it burns down their house or seriously injures someone.
"Samsung and the operators have no option but to put whatever measures in place they can to try and retrieve all the remaining devices."


At least 13 people, most of them children, drowned when their boat capsized in the Aegean Sea between Turkey and Greece, officials say.

Another 15 people were rescued off the Greek island of Farmakonisi but one person remains missing.
It comes a day after new figures showed the number of migrants and refugees crossing illegally into Europe by sea and land had passed one million.
Meanwhile, German police say they have arrested a suspected people trafficker.
The 37-year-old Syrian man was wanted in connection with the drowning of five Syrians in bad weather during their passage on an overcrowded boat from Turkey to Greece in April.
They are alleged to have paid some $2,400 (Â£1,600) each to the suspect.
The man was detained in Strausberg, near Berlin, on Tuesday after a tip-off by a relative of one of those who died, said a spokesman for federal police.
Police are reported to have seized computers and disks, phones and documents during the raid, and the man is now in custody while the investigation proceeds.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said the number of migrants and refugees crossing illegally into Europe by sea and land in 2015 represented a fourfold rise on last year's total.
Nearly 3,700 of those who made the journey did not survive it - including many children.
Seven children were among the 13 reported drowned on Wednesday, and three children were among 11 who died on Tuesday.
"The weather was not particularly bad but the boat was overloaded as is often the case," a police official said of Wednesday's incident, according to AFP news agency.
A helicopter, patrol boat and private vessels are still looking for the missing person.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.


Google has honoured Indian yoga guru BKS Iyengar with an animated doodle on his 97th birthday.

Iyengar was credited with his own brand of yoga and taught author Aldous Huxley and violinist Yehudi Menuhin, among other celebrities.
He died in 2013 in the western city of Pune, aged 95.
Iyengar yoga is now taught in more than 70 countries and the guru's books have been translated into 13 languages.
The Google doodle shows an animated figure practicing some of the yoga poses or "asanas" made famous by Iyengar.
One of yoga's finest teachers, he practised what he called an "art and science" for more than eight decades and ran one of India's top yoga schools in Pune.
He continued to practise - once telling a correspondent that "practice is my feast" - in his old age and could still do the sirsasana - or the headstand - for half an hour until just before his death.
He used around 50 props, including ropes and mats, to align and stretch the body.
"When I stretch, I stretch in such a way that my awareness moves, and a gate of awareness finally opens," Iyengar told the Mint newspaper.
"When I still find some parts of my body that I have not found before, I tell myself, yes I am progressing scientifically... I don't stretch my body as if it is an object. I do yoga from the self towards the body, not the other way around."
When he first met Yehudi Menuhin, the violinist complained that he never had time to relax and never got a good night's sleep.
"Within one minute Iyengar had him snoring happily away. But Guruji did warn me: 'Relaxation doesn't mean yoga is a soft option. It's a disciplined subject - a casual attempt only gains casual results'," Mark Tully, former BBC correspondent in India, wrote after meeting Iyengar in 2001.


A section of cliff has collapsed on Dorset's Jurassic Coast.

The fall happened at the East Cliff side of West Bay, near Bridport, at about 19:40 BST.
Dorset Police initially said some people had suffered minor injuries but now said no-one is thought to have been be hurt.
No-one is believed to be trapped in the rubble, but a search is under way. A cordon is in place and the coast path is partially closed.
An infra-red helicopter search was carried out but due the warm temperature of the rocks it proved "inconclusive", a coastguard spokesman said.
Gem Gilbert, who photographed the landslip, said on Twitter: "Cute evening down the beach chilling, next thing you know part of the [cliff] had fallen down."
West Bay and Lyme Regis coastguard rescue teams, and the Lyme Regis RNLI inshore lifeboat are at the scene.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue, and Devon and Somerset Urban Search and Rescue are also attending, the coastguard added.
Ch Insp Steve White, of Dorset Police, said: "Although at this stage it is not thought anyone has been trapped by the fall, I would appeal to the public that in the unlikely event that you are aware of someone who has not returned home from West Bay this evening, please report the details to the police urgently via 999.
"We would like to remind people that the cliffs remain unstable and it is possible further rock falls could occur.
"We urge the public to obey warning signs, not to stand near the edge of cliffs or stand directly underneath them.
"Landslides and rock falls can happen at any time and without warning."
The coast path is currently closed east of West Bay to Burton Bradstock.
A section of the cliff fell onto East Beach last month.


Ed Sheeran's promoter has said Google must do more to stop secondary ticket sales for the singer's gigs.

Stuart Galbraith called for the change after Google adverts pointed fans towards secondary site Viagogo, where tickets for Ed Sheeran's tour were being sold at inflated prices.
"Google needs to bow to pressure and stop taking money for tickets which are sold on the secondary market," he said.
Google said it had a set of strict policies on which ads it allows.
Tickets for Ed Sheeran's 'Divide' tour started appearing on Viagogo within minutes of them being released.
"Ed and I have a strong aversion to secondary ticketing," Mr Galbraith told BBC Radio 4's You & Yours programme.
"We put up lots of measures to try and stop the secondary ticketing market when his tour tickets came out on Saturday. The vast majority of secondary sites adhered to our threats of prosecution but Viagogo did not."
The BBC has contacted Viagogo by email for comment but has yet to receive a response.
Mr Galbraith's comments follow research by Fan Fair Alliance, a campaign group set up by artists and their managers.
It searched Google for 100 popular UK tours, typing in the artist's name and the word "tour".
The group discovered 77 times out of 100 a secondary website had paid to be the top result of the Google search.
"We've known for a while that this is Viagogo's main marketing route to the consumer and we know that they spend a lot of money to get to the top of Google's ad search," said Adam Webb from Fan Fair Alliance.
"The part where it says ad is a very small box and in the marketing by Viagogo it says 'official site'. It is very confusing for consumers," Mr Webb said.
Ed Sheeran previously warned that anyone who bought from secondary ticketing sites would not be allowed into his gigs.
Mr Galbraith said: "If we can identify that those tickets have been bought on the secondary market then there's every chance their admission will be refused."
The re-selling of live music tickets for profit is not against UK law.
This means companies including Viagogo can pay for ad space on search engines like Google.
Google said it does not allow fraudulent or misrepresentative ads and when it discovers ads that break its policies it quickly takes action.


Leicester City defender Danny Simpson has signed a new three-year deal with the Premier League champions.

Simpson's new contract will keep him at the club until 2019.
Team-mates Danny Drinkwater, Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel, Wes Morgan and Andy King, and manager Claudio Ranieri, have all signed new deals this summer.
"I'm over the moon. I've been here two years now and the club is going places," Simpson said.
Simpson, 29, joined the club from Queens Park Rangers in August 2014 and played 31 times during their 2015-16 title-winning season.


Barack Obama has arrived for the start of his three-day visit to Vietnam, only the third by a sitting US president since the end of the Vietnam War.

The trip comes amid warming ties between the countries as the US seeks to build relations with Pacific allies.
Vietnam is keen for the US to lift an arms embargo that has been in place since 1984.
Mr Obama will later fly to Japan for a G7 summit. He will also become the first US president to visit Hiroshima.
Vietnam hopes as Obama visits
Vietnamese embrace new US relations
While in Vietnam, Mr Obama is expected to meet dissidents and make the case for Vietnam to remove obstacles to the US-led Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade deal.
Ben Rhodes, Mr Obama's deputy national security adviser, said before the visit that talks on removing the United States' embargo on selling arms to Vietnam would be discussed.
Doing so would allow Vietnam to bolster its defences at a time of territorial disputes with its neighbour China, which was unhappy with a partial lifting of the ban in 2014.
However, White House officials indicated the ban would be lifted only if there was an improvement in human rights in Vietnam.
On Friday, Mr Obama will tour Hiroshima, where a US nuclear bomb was detonated in 1945, killing at least 140,000 people.
In an interview with Japanese broadcaster NHK on Friday, Mr Obama said he would not apologise during his remarks in Hiroshima.
"It's important to recognise that in the midst of war, leaders make all kinds of decisions, it's a job of historians to ask questions and examine them," he said.
"But I know, as somebody who's now sat in this position for the last seven-and-a-half years, that every leader makes very difficult decisions, particularly during wartime."


Newport Gwent Dragons are attracting interest from new investors, says chief executive Stuart Davies.

The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) owns a 50% stake in the region and has said it may take over if the Dragons fail to attract new investment.
But Davies says new investment could help the Dragons become a fully independent region.
"There's a lot of interest and a lot of work going on around that," he told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"We're at a point now where we have investors interested. They've tabled the terms on which they're prepared to come on board, and now we have to consider if they're acceptable.
"In effect, that would amount to a handing of the reins to a new collective of investors.
"It's important the current board are happy to hand over the reins based on the terms of the prospective investors."
The Dragons' future has been under scrutiny recently, with former captain Michael Owen saying the "mediocre" region should move elsewhere in Wales if any new investors want them to.
The ex-Wales skipper suggested the region could move to Pontypridd or north Wales, while WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips said the Dragons are "in a difficult spot at the minute".
The criticism comes despite Dragons' management unveiling plans to establish themselves as an independent region.
"Whether it's as governors or joint-owners of the Dragons, the union [WRU] have been very close to this process all along," said Davies.
"They've been shoulder to shoulder with us on this.
"But the model and the aspiration in terms of an independent Dragons - new investment, new ownership - all that remains."


A car bomb has ripped through a funeral tent in a mainly Shia Muslim area of Baghdad, killing 48 people.

Officials say that another 78 people were wounded in the mid-afternoon blast in the north-western Shula district.
Angry mourners attacked police who rushed to the scene, accusing them of failing to provide protection.
The funeral attack comes after a series of bombings killed dozens of Shia pilgrims during their annual pilgrimage to the holy city of Karbala last week.
A spate of bombings in the past month against pilgrims, police recruits and security forces across Iraq has killed more than 170 people.
The recent rise in violence comes as the US military prepares to withdraw from the country at the end of the year.
It poses a major challenge to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his fragile coalition government, formed only last month.
The car that exploded at about 1400 local time (1100 GMT) on Thursday was parked near the funeral in the Shula area.
Ali Kamil, a 22-year-old college student who lives nearby, told the AP news agency that he rushed to the scene and saw a fire still raging. Several cars in the area were damaged, he said.
He said young men were throwing stones at the Iraqi security forces, angry that they had failed to protect them.
Other witnesses said police fired into the air to disperse the angry crowd, but then came under attack from gunmen and returned fire. It is unclear if anyone was hurt in the shooting.
Finally, the military was sent in to restore order, they said.
In other parts of the capital on Thursday, five people were killed  and 21 wounded by roadside bomb attacks, while another bomb planted inside a minibus killed two people and wounded seven in the Jihad neighbourhood.
Violence has declined sharply in Iraq since the height of the sectarian killings of 2006-2007, but near daily attacks continue.
