US-backed Syrian rebels say they have taken full control of a key airbase held by the Islamic State group near its stronghold, Raqqa.

Talal Sello, a spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said they had seized Tabqa airport from militants.
It comes as the Kurdish-led fighters advance on Raqqa, IS's self-declared capital.
Earlier IS warned that the nearby Tabqa dam could collapse, sparking panic. However, the dam appears intact.
The US-led coalition fighting the jihadists denied their claims that it had targeted the facility with airstrikes, leaving it dangerously vulnerable to failure.
"The dam has not been structurally damaged to our knowledge and the coalition seeks to preserve the integrity of the dam as a vital resource to the people of Syria," a spokesperson told the BBC.
The Tabqa airbase was seized by IS militants in 2014 from the Syrian army. The jihadists then carried out a mass execution of captured soldiers.
Its capture by rebels was part of an offensive aimed at also taking control of the dam - the largest in Syria - as well as Tabqa town, on the way to Raqqa.
Earlier on Sunday there were conflicting reports about damage to the dam - about 40km (25 miles) upstream of the Raqqa on the Euphrates river - with civilians reportedly fleeing to higher ground.
Although IS media channels warned the dam could burst, the militant group later reportedly sent cars around Raqqa with loudspeakers, telling people it was intact and they had no need to evacuate.
Aside from being strategically important and providing electricity to the region, the dam complex is believed to be used as an IS headquarters where leaders plot attacks outside Syria, according to the Pentagon.
The United Nations recently warned that damage to it could lead to massive-scale flooding.
There were similar concerns last year for a dam outside Mosul, an IS stronghold in northern Iraq.
If the Mosul dam burst, floodwaters could kill 1.47 million Iraqis living along the River Tigris, the US embassy said. However, the dam has so far remained in operation.
US warplanes are supporting the Iraqi army's mission to retake Mosul from the Islamic State group (IS).


Chinese shares traded higher on Tuesday morning after a fresh stimulus push from the country's central bank.

The mainland benchmark Shanghai Composite finished the day up 1.7% at 2,733.17.
On Monday, the People's Bank of China unexpectedly lowered its Reserve Rate Ratio, cutting the amount of cash the country's lenders must hold in reserve.
The move was designed to boost liquidity and provide more stimulus to China's slowing economy.
It was the first such cut since October and comes after a string of volatile days on the mainland's stock markets.
Fresh economic data out on Tuesday though gave little grounds to reassure investors.
The closely watched Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), a gauge for the manufacturing sector, shrank more than expected in February.
The PMI index stood at 49.0, down from 49.4 the previous month. Any reading below 50 indicates a contraction of the sector.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index closed up 1.55% at 19,407.46.
In Japan, shares edged higher despite fresh economic data suggesting the eagerly awaited recovery remains elusive.
The Nikkei 225 index closed 0.4% up at 16,085.51.
Earlier, official data showed that household spending was down 3.1% in January, compared to a year earlier.
Along with disappointing company spending, it suggests that efforts to boost investment and domestic spending have so far failed to take effect.
In Australia, the ASX/200 index closed up 0.85% at 4,922.30, boosted by the country's big lenders and some energy firms.
Commodity giants BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto rose 2.95% and 2.7% respectively on hopes for a recovery in oil and commodity prices.
Gold mining company Newcrest climbed more than 4.5% on the strengthening price of the precious metal.
The country's central bank left its lending rates on hold on Tuesday, marking the 10th month in a row the cash rate has remained at a record low of 2%.
Shane Oliver, head economist at AMP Capital in Sydney, said the Reserve Bank of Australia continued "to sound less upbeat" on the global economic outlook.
"Our view remains that the RBA will cut interest rates again this year reflecting the risks around the global economy, weaker than expected commodity prices, still subdued growth in Australia ... a more dovish Fed threatening a higher Australian dollar and continued low inflation," he said.
"However, this may not come till May," he added.
In South Korea, the stock market remained closed for a national holiday.


A group that wants lower immigration has forecast if Britain votes to remain in the EU, net migration will exceed 250,000 a year for at least 20 years.

The Migration Watch report said a "cautious estimate" for annual net migration by 2035 was 265,000, with 60% of migrants coming from the EU.
It said there was complacency about the impact of rapid population growth which it said "could change the UK forever".
Remain said leaving the EU and damaging the economy was not the answer.
Immigration has been a key battleground in the referendum campaign ahead of the vote on EU membership on 23 June.
Net migration to the UK rose to 333,000 in 2015, according to Office for National Statistics estimates released in May - the second highest figure on record - figures which the Leave campaign argue illustrates the inability of the UK to control migration while being in the EU.
Migration Watch, which campaigns for reduced migration, has now looked over a 20-year period at the impact on net migration in the event the UK votes to remain in the EU on 23 June.
This issue covers immigration and free movement within Europe.
Net migration is the difference between the number of people coming to the UK for at least a year and those leaving.
It said the figure of 265,000 excluded the possibility of Turkey joining the EU altogether and took the average of the high and low migration scenarios.
Under its low migration scenario, net migration from the EU would fall to 135,000 by the end of the period and only a small number of refugees who have already arrived in other parts of the EU would relocate to Britain.
In this scenario the government would successfully reduce non-EU net migration to 100,000 a year and British emigration would remain at 50,000 a year, leading to total net migration of 205,000.
For the high scenario, net migration from the EU would rise to 220,000 by 2031.
In this scenario, non-EU migration would remain at 150,000 per year and British emigration would remain at 50,000 net per year, leading to net migration to the UK to 320,000 in 20 years' time, it said.
Lord Green of Deddington, chairman of Migration Watch UK said: "This report is a final wake-up call. Even leaving aside the prospect of Turkey joining the EU, it shows that net migration could still be running at 265,000 a year in 20 years' time.
"This would bring our population to 80 million within 30 years. If we remain in the EU there will be nothing to stop a continuing rapid increase in our population. This would change our country for ever against the express wishes of a very large majority of our fellow citizens."
Vote Leave said the report confirmed its estimates of future migration levels from the EU and demonstrated that the "only way to take back control of our borders" was to leave the EU.
But the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants said the report failed to take account of the "essential contribution" that migrants make to UK industry and the public services, pointing out that they pay more in taxes than they take out.
In response to the Migration Watch report, Home Office minister James Brokenshire - a Remain campaigner - said.
"David Cameron is in complete agreement with the leaders of the Leave campaign who have admitted Turkey joining the EU isn't remotely on the cards."
"Damaging the economy by quitting Europe is not the answer to the complex issue of immigration. Migration Watch say the Leave campaign's policy won't work - it could actually increase immigration.
"Independent experts agree that leaving Europe would hit the economy - costing jobs, putting up prices and meaning less money for the Government to spend on public services like the NHS."
Former Labour prime minister Gordon Brown is calling for the EU to provide extra financial help to parts of the UK with high levels of immigration to help deal with the pressure on schools, hospitals, housing and other public services.
A government spokesman said it was committed to introducing a "controlling migration fund" to ease pressures on public services and to pay for additional immigration enforcement.


London's "gig" economy has grown by 72% in the transport and storage sector since 2010, research suggests.

The New Economics Foundation think tank said the number of people employed in this sector had risen from about 38,000 in 2010 to about 65,300 in 2016.
App technology and new business models have led to a rise in "gig" workers undertaking short-term, casual work, spawning firms like Uber and Deliveroo.
The government is currently reviewing what this means for workers' rights.
72%
growth from 2010 and 2016
37,965 people registered in the 'gig' economy in 2010
65,315 people registered in the 'gig' economy in 2016
Typically workers in the "gig" economy use mobile phone apps to identify customers requiring delivery services or small practical jobs.
Stephen Devlin, senior economist from the New Economics Foundation think tank, said the next big growth area in the "gig" economy was expected to be in the cleaning and DIY trades.
The Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy said it believed some five million people were working in the gig economy in the UK.
The Office for Budget Responsibility estimates the government may lose up to Â£3.5bn in tax revenues by 2020-21 as a result of the rise in self-employed "gig" workers.
However this could change depending on the outcome of pending court cases.
An employment tribunal in London ruled in October that Uber drivers should be classed as workers and were not self-employed.
Uber is appealing against the decision and there are further test cases pending, including one for CitySprint delivery firm.
Mr Devlin said the re-classification of workers in the "gig" economy as a result of legal cases, could herald the collapse of the "gig" economy in the UK.


Chancellor George Osborne says he has identified how the government will make the £12bn of welfare cuts promised in the Conservative election manifesto.

He will announce the bulk of the savings in his Budget on Wednesday, the BBC understands.
Those known so far include a reduction in the benefit cap and removing subsidies for social housing.
Mr Osborne is also expected to announce the BBC will have to meet the £650m cost of TV licences for over-75s.
Mr Osborne said the welfare cuts were needed to prevent even deeper cuts to public services and to fulfil the government's aim of eliminating the deficit and running a surplus.
"So yes, we've got to find savings in welfare - and we have found that £12bn of savings in welfare that we said we'd be able to find in the election," he said.
The headline Budget announcement over the weekend was a clampdown on "taxpayer-funded subsidies" for "higher earners" living in social housing in England.
But Mr Osborne also announced:
The benefit cap is likely to affect 89,000 households and save £1.67bn over the next five years, according to Treasury sources.
Mr Osborne confirmed he would be seeking to make cuts to tax credits for people on low incomes, which had become a "very expensive" system, costing £30bn.
He said the low paid would be compensated by tax cuts in an effort to end the "merry-go-round on which people pay their taxes and then get back benefits" and firms would be encouraged to pay higher wages.
By Nick Higham, BBC News
Mr Osborne seems to be offering a deal, perhaps to be announced in the Budget: a commitment to change the law so that iPlayer viewers also have to pay the licence fee.
It won't raise anything like enough to make up for that lost £650m but it would be a sign that the government is serious about protecting the BBC's long-term future in a world of rapidly changing technology.
And from the chancellor's point of view, offloading the over-75s' licence fee on to the BBC is a nifty bit of political footwork.
It goes a long way towards the government's target of cutting £12bn from the benefits bill.

Shadow chancellor Chris Leslie said Labour backed the benefits cap but Mr Osborne should introduce tax breaks for employers that pay the "living wage", which is £9.15 an hour in London and £7.85 elsewhere, as a way of boosting people's incomes.
He told Andrew Marr: "If we can finally persuade George Osborne to U-turn and back some incentives for a living wage, that I think would be very welcome.
"But don't underestimate how important some of these tax credits have been, not just helping people be able to afford to be able to go to work - all those travel costs, childcare costs and so forth - but also there's an important principle about helping the very most vulnerable in society."
Meanwhile, Mr Leslie suggested that Labour could back the chancellor's move to make the BBC pick up the £650m bill for free television licences for the over-75s, but wanted to see the full details before deciding.
The SNP said Mr Osborne's Budget would be a "sermon from an austerity cult - cutting where it is not necessary and weakening further the chance of a sustained recovery".
Under the planned changes to housing subsidies, local authority and housing association tenants in England who earn more than £30,000 - or £40,000 in London - will have to pay up to the market rent, Mr Osborne will say.
The move is expected to raise up to £250m a year by 2018-19.
It is thought that this could affect 340,000 households.
The change - which will cost tenants on average up to £70 extra a week - will build on measures introduced under the coalition government that enabled housing associations and local authorities to charge market rents to those on incomes of more than £60,000.
Extra money from those living in local authority properties will go straight to the Exchequer.
The Budget will also confirm the end of inheritance tax on family homes worth up to £1m.
Mr Osborne is expected to tell MPs on Wednesday the threshold at which the tax is levied will rise for couples from £650,000 after April 2017.
The chancellor is not expected to outline the £30bn in departmental spending cuts that the Institute for Fiscal Studies says he will need to find over the next three years on Wednesday - these are likely to be set out in the autumn in a spending review.


Maternity and children's services are to be reduced at a North Yorkshire hospital.

The current level of provision at Northallerton's Friarage Hospital has been described as unaffordable and unsustainable.
The plans, first announced in 2011, have led to protests including a petition, and a march led by local Conservative MP William Hague,
The existing service, run by consultants, will become midwife-led.
The changes will start in October.
There will also be limited community paediatric services with no overnight stays for ill children.
Pregnant women or children with complicated medical conditions will have to use the James Cook University Hospital 22 miles (35km) away in Middlesbrough.
The Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said the low number of births at the hospital meant it was difficult to provide enough doctors with the range of skills needed to cover more complex medical problems.
In the report announcing the decision, the CCG said it had "been unable to find a model that allows services to be delivered on the same footprint as before without continuing and unacceptable compromises on safety and sustainability, or unaffordable investment."
More than 10,000 people signed a petition opposing the plan and an appeal against the closure was made to the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
In May, Mr Hunt rejected calls for a full review into the changes.
However the Foreign Secretary and MP for Richmond, William Hague, said he was "disappointed" at the decision.
"The Friarage is held in high regard and the uncertainty over the future of these services has caused a great deal of anxiety for patients and staff alike," he said.
He added: "It has been my view all along that while there are legitimate clinical concerns faced by the Friarage, these are challenges to be overcome and not surrendered to."
Dr Vicky Pleydell, chief clinical officer at the CCG, said: "We have investigated models of service up and down the country, leaving no stone unturned.
"Other options we looked at did not conform to the high standards we feel it is right to aspire to for our patients.
"Our job as a CCG is to ensure we deliver safe high quality services for our patients. We cannot compromise on that."


The Palestinian militant group Hamas has announced that Ismail Haniya has been chosen as its new overall leader.

He succeeds Khaled Meshaal, who has served the maximum two terms in office.
Mr Haniya, 54, lives in Gaza, which Hamas has ruled since 2007, unlike Mr Meshaal, who lives in Qatar.
Mr Haniya is seen as a pragmatist who will try to ease Hamas's international isolation. The group published a new policy document this week regarded as an attempt to soften its image.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum confirmed on Saturday that Mr Haniya had been selected as the politburo chief.
Hamas as a whole, or in some cases its military wing, is designated a terrorist group by Israel, the US, EU, UK and other powers.
This week, Hamas published its first new policy document since its founding charter.
It declares for the first time a willingness to accept an interim Palestinian state within pre-1967 boundaries, without recognising Israel.
It also says Hamas's struggle is not with Jews but with "occupying Zionist aggressors". The 1988 charter was condemned for its anti-Jewish language.
Mr Barhoum said: "The document gives us a chance to connect with the outside world."
A spokesman for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas was "attempting to fool the world but it will not succeed".
The new document stresses it does not mean that Hamas now recognises Israel's right to exist or that it no longer advocates violence against Israel.
Gaza has been under blockade by Israel and Egypt for the past decade, imposed to prevent attacks by militants inside the territory. Its economy has been crippled as a result, and many of its 1.9 million inhabitants suffer daily hardships.
Relations between Hamas and Egypt have recently begun to improve, with a visit to Cairo this year by Mr Haniya.
Ismail Haniya was born in the Shati refugee camp to the west of Gaza City and although a close associate of Hamas's spiritual leader, the late Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, he was relatively unknown until he headed the Hamas list that won the Palestinian legislative election of January 2006 and became prime minister.


King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand was the world's longest reigning monarch.

He was viewed by his subjects as a stabilising influence in a country that saw numerous military coups during his reign.
Despite being seen as a benign father figure who remained above politics, he also intervened at times of heightened political tension.
And although he was a constitutional monarch with limited powers, most Thais regarded him as semi-divine.
Bhumibol Adulyadej was born in Cambridge in the US state of Massachusetts on 5 December 1927.
His father, Prince Mahidol Adulyadej, was studying at Harvard when his son was born.
The family later returned to Thailand, where his father died when he was just two years old.
His mother then moved to Switzerland, where the young prince was educated.
As a young man he enjoyed cultured pursuits, including photography, playing and composing songs for the saxophone, painting and writing.
The status of the Thai monarchy had been in decline since the abolition of its absolute rule in 1932, and there was a further blow when his uncle, King Prajadhipok, abdicated in 1935.
The throne passed to Bhumibol's brother, Ananda, who was just nine years old.
In 1946, King Ananda died in what remains an unexplained shooting accident at his palace in Bangkok. Bhumibol acceded to the throne when he was 18 years old.
His early years as king saw Thailand ruled by a regent, as he returned to his studies in Switzerland. While on a visit to Paris he met his future wife, Sirikit, daughter of the Thai ambassador to France.
The couple married on 28 April 1950, just a week before the new monarch was crowned in Bangkok.
For the first seven years of his reign, Thailand was ruled as a military dictatorship and the monarch was little more than a figurehead.
In September 1957, Gen Sarit Dhanarajata seized power. The king issued a proclamation naming Sarit, military defender of the capital.
Under Sarit's dictatorship, Bhumibol set about revitalising the monarchy. He embarked on a series of tours in the provinces, and lent his name to a number of developments, particularly in agriculture.
For his part, Sarit reinstated the custom that people crawled on their hands and knees in front of the monarch. and restored a number of royal ceremonial occasions that had fallen into disuse.
Bhumibol dramatically intervened in Thai politics in 1973 when pro-democracy demonstrators were fired on by soldiers.
The protesters were allowed to shelter in the palace, a move which led to the collapse of the administration of then-prime minister, Gen Thanom Kittikachorn.
But the king failed to prevent the lynching of left-wing students by paramilitary vigilantes three years later, at a time when the monarchy feared the growth of communist sympathies after the end of the Vietnam War.
There were to be further attempts to overthrow the government. In 1981, the king stood up to a group of army officers who had staged a coup against then prime minister, Prem Tinsulanond.
The rebels succeeded in occupying Bangkok until units loyal to the king retook it.
However, the tendency of the king to side with the government in power caused some Thais to question his impartiality.
Bhumibol intervened again in 1992, when dozens of demonstrators were shot after protesting against an attempt by a former coup leader, Gen Suchinda Kraprayoon, to become prime minister.
The king called Suchinda, and the pro-democracy leader, Chamlong Srimuang, to appear in front of him, both on their knees as demanded by royal protocol.
Suchinda resigned and subsequent elections saw the return of a democratic, civilian government.
During the crisis that erupted over the leadership of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006, the king was frequently asked to intervene but insisted this would be inappropriate.
However, his influence was still viewed as pivotal when the election Mr Thaksin had won that April, was annulled by the courts.
Mr Thaksin was eventually deposed in a bloodless coup, in which the military pledged their allegiance to the king.
In the years that followed, the king's name and image were invoked by factions both for and against Mr Thaksin, as they jostled for power.
The entire country joined lavish celebrations to mark King Bhumibol's 80th birthday in 2008, reflecting his unique status in Thai society.
Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha seized power in a coup in May 2014 and was made prime minister by the military-appointed parliament a few months later.
He promised far-reaching political reforms to prevent a return to the instability of recent years.
But critics suspected his real priority was to destroy the party of Mr Thaksin and to ensure that the royal succession took place smoothly.
The public reverence for King Bhumibol was genuine but it was also carefully nurtured by a formidable public relations machine at the palace.
There were harsh "lese-majeste" laws that punished any criticism of the monarchy and which restricted the ability of foreign and domestic media to fully report on the king.
During his long reign, King Bhumibol Adulyadej was faced with a country continually racked by political upheaval.
It said much for his skills as a diplomat, and his ability to reach out to ordinary people in Thailand, that his death leaves the country's monarchy far stronger than it was at his accession.


Australia has called for the release of lawyer Melinda Taylor, who was held after trying to meet Saif al-Islam, son of the late leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Libya should "expedite the end" of the Australian defence lawyer's detention.
She is one of four International Criminal Court's (ICC) staff detained in Zintan town last week.
Reports say local people became suspicious of documents she tried to pass to Saif al-Islam.
"I am very concerned about the detention of Ms Taylor," Ms Gillard told reporters. "We are calling on the Libyan government to expedite the end of Ms Taylor's detention."
Australia's Foreign Affairs Minister Bob Carr said he raised Ms Taylor's case with Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Muhammad Aziz.
He said that Mr Aziz confirmed in a phone call that Ms Taylor was being detained in Zintan pending further inquiry.
"An ICC team is in Libya to engage directly with authorities on the matter," he added.
Ms Taylor's parents released a statement, saying that they did not wish to publicly comment on the situation and asked media to respect their privacy.
"Our thoughts, at this time, are very much with our daughter, Melinda, and her colleagues," they said.
The ICC delegation had travelled to Libya on 6 June to meet Saif al-Islam Gaddafi in Zintan.
Members of the brigade holding Saif al-Islam say the ICC team were carrying documents, including a letter from a former confidante of his who is now in Egypt, about 135km (85 miles) south-west of Tripoli.
Saif al-Islam, who was captured last November by militiamen as he tried to flee the country, has been indicted by the ICC for crimes against humanity.
Libya's interim government has so far refused to hand him over for trial in the Netherlands - the seat of the ICC. Libya has insisted he should be tried by a Libyan court.


The UN special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, says he is "appalled and shocked" that rebels in Aleppo are targeting civilians in the city.

The "relentless and indiscriminate" rocket attacks had killed scores of civilians in western Aleppo in the past 48 hours, Mr de Mistura said.
Such attacks could amount to war crimes, he said.
On Friday, rebels began an offensive aimed at breaking the government siege of east Aleppo.
About 275,000 people have been besieged in the east of the city for months.
Russian and Syrian government planes began bombarding Aleppo in September. More than 2,700 people are said to have been killed and injured since then.
Russia suspended its air campaign on 18 October to allow evacuations of sick and wounded people but few have heeded the call to leave.
On Sunday, state media in Syria said rebels had used chemical weapons against government-controlled districts of Aleppo.
A spokesman for one rebel group denied the claim, saying rebel groups did not possess such weapons, the Associated Press news agency reports.
Sana news agency said 35 people in the districts of Dahiyet al-Assad and Hamdaniya had suffered shortness of breath and numbness.
More than 40 civilians are reported to have been killed in western Aleppo since the rebel attacks began, activists say.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 16 were children. It added that 55 soldiers had also died - as well as 64 rebels.
There is no confirmation of these casualties.
Rebels from outside Aleppo are said to be at the forefront of the new offensive, targeting Hamdaniya, which is currently held by troops of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The rebel groups include Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, as well as fellow Islamists Ahrar al-Sham.
It is the rebels' second attempt to break the Aleppo siege. In August they temporarily opened a corridor between the east and west after the government entirely encircled them for the first time in July.
The city, previously Syria's economic hub, has been divided between the two sides since 2012.


Scientists say they have found a new compound that stops malaria in animal studies with a single, low dose.

Tests in mice showed the one-off treatment prevented infection for the full 30 days of the study.
The chemical compound fought early infection in the liver, as well as malaria parasites that were circulating in the blood.
The researchers hope their early work, published in the journal, Nature, could lead to new drugs for people.
Malaria is spread to humans by the bites of infected female mosquitoes and it is estimated that about half of the world's population is at risk of catching the disease.
In 2015, there were 214 million new cases of malaria and 438,000 malaria deaths, according to the World Health Organization.
Aside from avoiding bites by using insecticides and bed nets, people can protect themselves against malaria by taking antimalarial drugs.
But existing treatments are less than perfect - people have to take repeated doses and the parasites that cause malaria are developing resistance to these drugs.
Along the Cambodia-Thailand border, one type of malaria parasite - P. falciparum - has become resistant to almost all available antimalarial medicines.
Dr Nobutaka Kato and colleagues, from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, searched a library of more than 100,000 compounds for a new treatment.
They were hunting for something that would work in an entirely new way to existing drugs.
The compound they found targets an enzyme called phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase and appears to wipe out parasites before they can multiply in the liver and be released in bigger numbers into the bloodstream.
Lead researcher Prof Stuart Schreiber hopes the findings will lead to the discovery of better antimalarials in coming years.
He said: "We invite the scientific community to use this database as a jumping off point for their work developing antimalarial therapies."
The work was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Prof David Baker of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said the findings were exciting.
"The advantage of a single dose antimalarial is that it potentially reduces costs and removes the issue of patients not completing the course of treatment.
"One of the safety tests they ran on the new compounds gave results suggesting that there may be a degree of toxicity in human cells, but hopefully the chemists will be able to modify the compounds to remove this issue."


(Closed): Wall Street markets closed up after figures showed stronger than expected growth in the labour market.

The S&P 500 index climbed 18.62 points, or 0.86%, to 2,182.87, beating an all-time high record set last month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 191.48 (1.04%) to 18,543.53, while the Nasdaq was up 54.87 (1.06%) to 5,221.12.
The US economy added 255,000 jobs last month and figures for May and June were also revised upwards.
The figures add to speculation that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by the end of the year.
"The most important takeaway from a better jobs report is an indication of a continued grind higher in the US economy,"  said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities.
Shares in banks, which are expected to gain from any rise in interest rates, were higher. Goldman Sachs climbed 2.6% and JP Morgan Chase rose 2.7%.
Shares in Bristol-Myers Squibb sank 16% after the company said its Opdivo cancer treatment had failed in a key study.
In contrast, shares in Merck, which makes a rival treatment, saw its shares jump 10% to $63.86.
On the Nasdaq, shares in Google's parent company, Alphabet climbed 1.2%, while Apple stock jumped 1.5%.


A woman in Liberia has died of Ebola, months after the epidemic was declared over in the country, health officials say.

The 30-year-old woman passed away in a hospital in a densely-populated area of the capital, Monrovia.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared that Liberia was free of Ebola in January, but there have been small flare-ups of the disease in the region.
In neighbouring Guinea, several cases have been identified in recent weeks.
More than 11,300 people died over the past two years in the world's worst Ebola epidemic, almost all of them in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
The infected woman was brought to a clinic in Paynesville, just east of Monrovia, after falling ill, officials said. She was later transferred to a hospital in the capital, but died on Thursday.

Timeline: How we lost control of the Ebola virus
A team has been sent to the woman's community and the clinic where she was being treated to investigate the case and identify people who may have been in contact with her, the WHO said in a statement.
Earlier this week, the agency had said the Ebola outbreak no longer constituted an international public health risk, but it warned that flare-ups were expected, largely due to the virus presence in survivors.
In January, the WHO declared the "end of active transmission" in Liberia after 42 days without a new case.


Wales Air Ambulance has moved into the charity's first owned home in Carmarthenshire.

The service has transferred its helicopter and fundraising staff to a purpose-built facility at Llanelli Gate, Dafen.
The project to build the airbase, which covers its south Wales operation, took 12 months.
It was previously split between two premises in Swansea.


Everton reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the fourth time in five seasons as strikes by Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku saw off Bournemouth.

It could have turned out differently for the Cherries had Charlie Daniels converted his first-half penalty, which was superbly saved by Joel Robles.
Barkley gave the Toffees the lead when his 20-yard strike looped in off the boot of Dan Gosling in the 55th minute.
Lukaku settled the tie when he slammed in from close range.
Bournemouth went close through Gosling, whose header from four yards was straight at Robles, and Junior Stanislas' deflected free-kick narrowly beat the Everton upright.
See what happens when you play your best side?
It is now expected for managers to rest their best players for domestic cups - Bournemouth made six changes today, Arsenal made nine and Hull made 10.
So when Everton boss Roberto Martinez fielded an unchanged line-up from the one that started in their last league outing, it would have heartened fans of the competition and those who travelled down from Merseyside.
Bar a small spell in the second half when Bournemouth threatened, Everton were dominant.

Everton found it difficult to convert that dominance into chances in the first half, with striker Lukaku pulling out wide instead of playing as the target man and Barkley playing deeper.
The system was tweaked by the Spanish boss after the break. Within seconds of the restart the ball was pinged to Lukaku, who chested it into the path of Aaron Lennon.
The breakthrough came 10 minutes in, when Barkley was fed a pass near the edge of the area before striking the ball which took a huge deflection off Gosling and deceived Adam Federici. Watching England manager Roy Hodgson would have been impressed by his new midfield maestro.
Lukaku then showed his predatory skills inside the area when he lashed in after team-mate Gareth Barry had flicked on an Everton corner.

League survival is paramount, of course, but a good cup run could have been what the doctor ordered for Eddie Howe's side.
It looked as if it might be Bournemouth's day when they were awarded a penalty after James McCarthy had inexplicably handballed in the area.
Daniels took possession of the ball and launched a fierce, but easily readable, effort which Robles saved. Three Cherries players then all went for the loose ball, which resulted in Juan Iturbe firing wide.
Gosling should have done better with his second-half header, and Stanislas was unlucky. But truth be told Bournemouth did not deserve anything from the tie.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, speaking to BBC Sport:
"Everton had the extra quality and in key moments in the game we did not take our chances.
"It looked like we were going to score the rebound from the penalty save but that is one of those things, players eager to get on the end of it. No blame on Charlie, though.
"We were well in the game at half-time. It was a real 50-50 but the deflected goal was key.
"I have been on record many times saying the league is our priority."
Everton boss Roberto Martinez:
"We will take it step by step. It was important that we showed we can adapt to this game, now we want to get a really good period in the league.
"The only thing that has been missing has been wins at home and we are looking to change that.
"The League Cup semi-final gave us an inspiration to want to be at Wembley every chance we can. Clearly the group is hungry for that kind of occasion."
Bournemouth travel to Watford next Saturday, and Everton are at struggling Aston Villa on Tuesday, 1 March.

The Moroccan Football Federation has announced it will bid to host the 2026 World Cup.

The deadline for countries to express their intention to bid to host the tournament is Friday, at which point Fifa will confirm the bidders.
The United States, Canada and Mexico announced in April that they intend to put forward a joint bid.
The World Cup has only been hosted once in Africa - in South Africa in 2010 - and this will be Morocco's fifth bid.
The Confederation of African Football (Caf) gave its backing to a Moroccan bid in July.
A total of 48 teams, rather than the current 32, will compete at an expanded tournament in 2026 after changes announced by Fifa earlier this year.
The decision on who will host event will be made in 2020.
Fifa's rotational hosting policy means Africa is one of four confederations that can bid to host the 2026 finals as Europe (Russia 2018) and Asia (Qatar 2022) cannot be considered.


It was the words "Feldenkrais" and "Gesellschaft" that made Jairam Hathwar and Nihar Janga co-champions of the US Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Nihar, 11, and Jairam, 13, went head-to-head for 25 rounds with the annual contest going late into the night in Maryland.
"I can't say anything. I'm just in fifth grade," said Nihar - the youngest champion since 2002 - after his win.
Each winner receives a trophy and $45,000 (Â£30,700) in cash and prizes.
This is the third tie in a row at the bee. The organisers had implemented the 25-round spell-off to try to avoid a deadlock.
Feldenkrais is a method of education
Gesellschaft is a type of social relationship
Biniou is a Breton bagpipe
Taoiseach is the Irish word for prime minister
Mischsprache is a fused language
Tetradrachm is a kind of coin
Despite the rivalry, the two boys gave each other encouraging hand slaps as they passed each other on the way to and from the microphone.
Jairam gave Nihar a chance to win when he missed "Drahthaar" a kind of dog. But Nihar then slipped up on "ayacahuite", a Mexican tree.
After several rounds the announcer said: "This is a beautiful moment. If you both spell the next word correctly, you will be declared co-champions."
They both got their words right and the audience erupted in cheers.
Jairam and Nihar are the ninth consecutive winners of South Asian descent. Jairam's brother, Sriram, was the 2014 co-champion.
The finalists are selected after two days of written and oral tests.


A Bridgwater man has appeared in court accused of 12 counts of rape and a string of sexual offences.

Mark Lester of Riverside Close, Bridgwater made his first appearance at Taunton Magistrates after being charged with a total of 54 offences.
The other offences are for grooming, indecent assault and making, taking and possessing indecent images of children.
The 59-year-old defendant also faces charges previously made in relation to a knifepoint attack in Bridgwater.
He is due to appear at Taunton Crown Court on Friday for a further hearing.


A woman has been critically hurt after being hit by a car as she took her grandchild to pre-school.

The 61-year-old woman, from Otterton, was hit outside Newton Poppleford Primary School, police said.
The woman received "life-threatening head injuries" and the three-year-old child suffered minor injuries after the incident at 08:55 BST on Tuesday.
A 38-year-old female driver has been interviewed but not arrested, police said.

Sgt Richard Newton said: "The area was extremely busy with vehicles and pedestrians at that time, as children were being taken into school.
"We would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision who we have not already spoken to."
The road was closed for six hours for police investigations to take place.


Bosnia-Herzegovina captain Edin Dzeko is set to miss their Euro 2016 qualifier against Wales on 10 October having been ruled out for four weeks with a knee injury.

The striker, 29, twisted his knee as Roma beat Carpi 5-1 on Saturday.
Dzeko, on a season-long loan from Manchester City, is Bosnia's all-time leading scorer with 44 goals in 74 games.
A draw against Bosnia in Zenicar would see Wales qualify for Euro 2016.
Chris Coleman's side are currently top of Group B and end their qualification campaign at home against minnows Andorra on 13 October.
A point in either match would be enough to seal their place at Euro 2016, which would be Wales' first appearance at a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.


Shooter Amber Hill says recognising that her technique was "horrendous" has helped her gain consistency.

The 2013 Young Sports Personality of the Year won 2015 European skeet gold and is in the Rio 2016 Olympic squad.
"When I first started, my technique was horrendous. I don't know how I managed to shoot," Hill, 18, said.
"That's why in 2014 we decided to strip things back. My scores went back, but it's made me a stronger athlete and I'm a lot more consistent with my scores."
She became the youngest winner of a senior World Cup in skeet shooting at the age of 15 in 2013, and finished that season ranked number one senior in Great Britain and number five in the world.
And after changing her technique with coach Joe Neville, last year Hill won the skeet title at the inaugural European Games in Baku and also claimed victory at the World Cup final in Cyprus.
Windsor-born Hill, who trains in Buckinghamshire, is part of a six-strong Team GB squad for Rio 2016.
"You've got to go for gold (at Rio), otherwise why are you there?" she told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"As long as I go there and know I've done everything possible to make it happen on the day and enjoy myself I'll be happy.
"There's a lot of nerves in it but it's all about keeping mentally strong and relying on everything you've done in the past. You've just got to trust yourself."


The amount low-income parents can claim in school clothing grants still varies hugely around Scotland, a BBC Scotland investigation has found.

In West Lothian they can receive up to £110 per child, while in North Ayrshire it is a maximum of £40.
Last year, the Scottish government pledged to meet councils over setting a minimum level but it never happened.
Education secretary John Swinney has now said he wants a voluntary agreement for councils to set a nationwide rate.
Mr Swinney said there would be a range of views on the minimum rate but suggested it "should probably be set about £70".
That was the amount proposed by a Scottish government working group in 2009.
Eight years later, just 10 of the 32 councils have met that recommendation.
The average clothing grant for eligible parents is now £63.80.
Research by campaign group The Poverty Truth Commission suggested the actual cost of kitting out a child for school was £129.50, even when shopping at supermarkets and bargain stores.
Mr Swinney told BBC Scotland the Scottish government had the power to set a minimum rate but he thought "dialogue" with the local councils was the best way to achieve it.
Local government body Cosla refused to speak to BBC Scotland on-camera but issued a statement saying they would be keen to meet to discuss Mr Swinney's proposal and "to find out what additional money he is prepared to offer to facilitate such an agreement".
The 1980 Education Act stipulates that local authorities must make provision for the clothing of pupils who would otherwise be unable to afford schoolwear.
Councils, rather than the Scottish government, are responsible for deciding the eligibility criteria, the grant amount and application process.
In 2015, when BBC Scotland first carried out the survey, the majority of Scotland's 32 councils had failed to increase the level of school clothing grants for more than a decade.
In the two years since, just eight of Scotland's 32 local council areas have increased their grants.
Seventeen councils have not increased the rate in more than a decade.
In 2005, the average secondary school grant was £50.09. More than a decade later, 13 councils still pay less than that amount.
The average maximum grant offered by councils is now £63.80, still well short of the £70 minimum recommended in 2009.
The lowest maximum grant levels were in North Ayrshire (£40), Moray (£45), and the Scottish Borders (£45).
While some councils paid almost double the amount offered by the lowest, such as West Lothian (£110), Dundee (£100), East Ayrshire (£100), West Dunbartonshire (£100) Highland (£90) and Inverclyde (£90).
Angus Council had the lowest rate in 2015, having reduced it to just £20. It has since raised the grant to £50, the same as it was in 2005.
Mother-of-three Jackie says she has not yet received her grant from Glasgow City Council and is worried about not being able to afford new clothes before her children go back to school next week.
She says her partner works in a low-paid job and she is out of work so the council's grant to buy school clothing is important to her.
"I really need the uniform grant and I haven't received it this year because of an admin mistake because they're changing the system," she says.
"So it's becoming really stressful for me. I'm having to run out on very little money and try to buy last-minute things and use things from last year on the first week."
Jackie says: "It's important how your kids look when they go into school. People who are struggling don't want to look like they're struggling.
"For the first week, I feel as though I'm going to be sending my kids in rags, basically."
Jackie says she can't see why the grant is not a standard amount wherever you are in the country and she thinks it should be higher than the £52 Glasgow offers.
She says: "The bar should be set a lot higher - it should be more than £100 at least - definitely.
"Things just cost too much - for a badged polo shift dress it can be as much as £12 to £15, the last time I looked at the prices  - and that's just for one. Realistically you would need five each."
"I have to try to hide my stress from the kids. I don't want them to pick up on it. I want them to go in feeling like they have a brand new uniform.
"I'm not even sure if I'll be able to get their hair cut by the time they go back. I'm just going to have to gel it for the first week and hope that it looks respectable enough.
"It's very stressful and it's very upsetting at times."
After pressure from anti-poverty campaigners at the start of the last school year, Mr Swinney, the deputy first minister, promised to meet Cosla to discuss the school clothing grant and agree eligibility criteria and a minimum grant level.
He said this would ensure those families across Scotland who need support receive it.
That meeting did not take place.
Mr Swinney has now told BBC Scotland: "The Scottish government took steps in legislation to establish the power to set a minimum rate - but we judged the most appropriate way to take that forward was by dialogue with local authorities to avoid regulation in this respect."
He said: "The government would prefer to take forward a voluntary approach with local government but we have the power within legislation to establish that minimum level if we choose to do so."
Mr Swinney added: "The evidence that has been looked at suggests that the minimum level for the clothing grant should probably be set about £70. And a lot of local authorities are paying either at that level or in excess of that level.
"There will be a range of different perspectives around the levels for a minimum grant in this respect. I fully recognise the significance of the cost of children going to school and being properly equipped for school."
A statement for local government body Cosla said: "Scotland's Councils are committed to doing the very best for the communities they are elected to represent - especially those people in the most need.
"However, years of UK government austerity and a lack of investment in public services takes its toll.
"This coupled with year on year cuts to council budgets from the Scottish government has meant that councils have had to make extremely difficult decisions across all areas of their expenditure."
Julie Hepburn runs the Cumbernauld and Kilsyth Care School Uniform Bank, which provides school uniform free of charge to families in need, through a system of referrals.
The clothing consists of new and second-hand items.
She says there is growing demand across the country for services such as this.
"I've spoken to volunteers running the school banks around the country and we're all seeing a huge surge in demand this year," Ms Hepburn says.
"Partly people will be more aware of us and the service we offer but the demand is growing all the time.
"A number of the uniform banks are struggling to meet demand."
Ms Hepburn says she is always moved by the appreciation people show when she delivers a uniform package.
"Personally I find it very very difficult when we do drop off donations," she says.
"Sometimes people have been so stressed and worrying how they're going to get this uniform, when it does arrive they're quite emotional about it as well."
According to Ms Hepburn, the school clothing grant, even for those who are eligible, does not cover all the items they need.
She says: "If you are trying to kit out a teenager and you're trying to get shoes and a coat and a bag and a blazer - blazers are now compulsory in a lot of secondary schools.
"We were trying to get one this week that was £45. If you're only getting 70-odd quid that is not enough to cover the uniform your child needs."


Maldives president Abdulla Yameen has described his deputy as a threat to national security, after his arrest over an alleged assassination attempt last month.

Mr Yameen claimed bomb-making materials had been found during raids on Ahmed Adeeb's associates.
The president was unhurt in the blast on his speedboat, which left his wife and two others slightly injured.
In recent years, the Maldives has been rocked by political infighting.
"The vice-president is being detained for the safety and security of the entire nation," Mr Yameen said in a televised address.
He said the investigation pointed to links between Mr Adeeb and two soldiers who were arrested for tampering with evidence on the boat soon after the blast.
President Yameen and his wife were travelling to the capital Male from the island where the airport is located when the device went off under a seat normally - but not in this instance - occupied by Mr Yameen.
Turbulence in paradise
Soon after the blast, speculation began to grow that Mr Adeeb was involved, reports said. Under the Maldivian constitution, the vice-president succeeds the president if he dies, is incapacitated or resigns.
Mr Adeeb, who is among seven people being held for questioning, has denied any links to the explosion.
A court ordered his detention for 15 days to give police more time to investigate.
Earlier, the government said Mr Adeeb would be charged with "high treason".
But the president said he would not fire Mr Adeeb until his case had been decided by a court.
Mr Adeeb became vice president in July at the age of 33. Mr Yameen was instrumental in his rise, sacking the previous vice-president, also on charges of treason, and lowering the minimum age for the president and vice-president from 35 to 30.
The Maldives became a multiparty democracy in 2008 and is a popular upmarket tourist destination, but its image has suffered in recent years due to prolonged political unrest.


Ed Sheeran says he is 'incredibly chuffed' after his two new singles entered the UK singles chart at number one and number two.

The songs went straight to the top, and Ed said "Both tracks mean a huge amount to me so it really is amazing to see them go to the top of the chart together."
The Official Charts Company says that Ed is the first artist in history to take the top two chart positions with brand new songs.
The singer released 'Shape Of You' and 'Castle On The Hill' after a year out of the spotlight, when he stopped using social media so that he could concentrate on his third album.
Well done Ed!


Bristol City midfielder Marlon Pack scored his first goal of the season to condemn Leeds United to their first defeat in five matches.

City's third win in a row moves them up to fifth in the Championship.
Pack won the ball before slotting home from close range after a neat one-two with Lee Tomlin.
Leeds, who had boss Garry Monk sent to the stands late on, had not lost away from home since the opening day of the season.
Leeds winger Hadi Sacko missed the visitors' best chances while City striker Tammy Abraham failed to net for only the fifth time this season.
Lee Tomlin and Chelsea loanee Abraham, the Championship's top-scorer, squandered first-half chances for the hosts.
Dallas' pass found Sacko, who forced a good save from Bristol City goalkeeper Frank Fielding after evading defender Aden Flint.
Sacko turned provider moments earlier, finding Leeds midfielder Pablo Hernandez who drilled wide.
Leeds goalkeeper Rob Green then saved well from Robins forward Jamie Paterson, after being slid through by Mark Little on the brink of half-time.
After the break, Fielding made a smart stop from Leeds striker Chris Wood after the former Robins loanee seized on a mistake by Iceland defender Hordur Magnusson.
The visitors' misery was compounded when Monk was sent off late on by referee Keith Stroud, apparently for comments to the fourth official.
City midfielder Bobby Reid almost doubled the scoreline in injury time but his low effort was saved by the legs of Green.
Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol:
"It's a feeling of relief. It was a physical battle. I'm really delighted with a team performance of true grit and heart. I thought we kept trying to do the right things.
"They are a good side and we have to respect that. To be fair to Leeds United in the first half they administered their plan against us really well.
"I'm delighted with all of the group because a lot of the players were on their last legs the last five minutes.
"I am not going to discredit the position we are in. It's tight but we are ahead of schedule."
Garry Monk told BBC Radio Leeds:
"I think we're growing all the time. I thought our performance deserved a lot more than we got tonight - I thought it warranted at least a point.
"We had the best clear-cut chances in the game. We did not always make the right decisions in the final third and we need to be more clinical.
"We're growing. The players are growing. We have to bounce back now but we win and lose together.
"We are disappointed with the result but we are not going to get too down about the performance."

Watford winger Steven Berghuis has joined Dutch side Feyenoord on a season-long loan.

The 24-year-old Netherlands international joined the Hornets from AZ Alkmaar last summer in a deal reported to be worth £4.6m.
But he did not make a single Premier League start in his 11 appearances.
Feyenoord, managed by ex-Rangers, Arsenal and Barcelona player Giovanni van Bronckhorst, finished third in the Eredivisie last term.

Italian winger Raffaele De Vita has been released from his Ross County contact despite it having a year left to run.

The 28-year-old made 39 appearances for the Dingwall side after scoring on his debut in a 3-2 win over Motherwell in February 2015.
He signed a two-year deal last summer.
Manager Jim McIntyre has brought in Jay McEveley, Christopher Routis, Kenny van der Weg, Erik Cikos and Aaron McCarey as he re-shapes his squad.


As two policemen with guns were photographed smiling for the camera at a Christmas market in Newcastle, BBC News questions whether armed officers on the streets reassure people, or make them feel less safe.

We have been used to seeing firearms officers in airports, but now they can be spotted patrolling the streets and locations such as shopping centres - and even outside Canterbury Cathedral.
And when Northumbria Police posted images on social media of the two armed officers, people commented in their thousands.
Many objected to the sight of their "big guns", especially in a festive and family setting.
Northumbria Police said the officers were there to protect and reassure the public.
But sociologist Frank Furedi said there was a risk it could have the opposite effect.
He said: "It very much depends on context, but the idea that this should be a routine way of reassuring the public is fundamentally flawed."
Public opinion expressed on Facebook and Twitter was polarised, with critical comments tending to dominate.
"Shame on you Northumbria Police. Guns should not be normalised. Ever."
"The only message this sends is fear... Its ok kids, we're here to put the fear of god into you as there might be a terrorist on the loose."
"Nothing says Merry Christmas like machine guns in crowded public areas."
Others were more supportive:
"Well done, nice to see that you are out there protecting people.
"People need to get a grip!! When will the public realise that sadly this is a sign of our times."
Northumbria was one of nine forces in England and Wales to be given Home Office funding to increase the number of trained firearms officers.
Det Supt Steve Neill said: "These officers are there to protect people from what is a changing threat.
"The threat level remains severe - there's no specific intelligence that Newcastle or anywhere in our force area is going to be targeted, but we need to be alive to that threat and need to be strong."
He said that the comments on social media demonstrated the "polarised opinion".
"We recognise those concerns, but we are not trying to normalise guns, or officers carrying guns.
"The percentage of armed officers is very small compared to the officers that don't carry weapons, and whilst people are used to seeing them at places like airports, we need to recognise that the nature of terrorist attacks has changed and our police and tactics have changed in response to that."
However, Frank Furedi, emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Kent, said: "If there has just been a major terrorist attack people feel insecure and anxious.
"Sometimes having armed officers on the streets makes people feel more safe.
"However, if it gets routine, as it is in, say, Belgium, people can become more wary - feel they are always under threat, and it has the opposite effect.
"If there is a good operational reason, such as response to a threat, then that is different to simply managing perceptions.
"It you're just doing that then the presence of armed police risks undermining credibility and making people more insecure and anxious."
Dr Sharon Coen, senior lecturer in media psychology at the University of Salford, said: "Research shows that the presence of an armed officer at a large event where there is already a state of tension actually makes it likely for the situation to escalate more quickly and for people to behave violently if things go wrong."
Steve White, chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: "We police by consent in the UK, through proactive and effective community engagement.
"This should not and does not change because of the tools officers carry, firearms included.
"The public understand the very real threat to our way of life from terrorism.
"This threat changes how policing is delivered and, armed or otherwise, a uniformed presence aims to reassure people that their police are there to keep them safe."


Credit Suisse says it plans to raise 4bn Swiss francs (£3.14bn) from shareholders in an effort to strengthen its capital base.

The Swiss lender put on hold a plan to sell shares in its domestic banking business and posted a first quarter profit of 596m Swiss francs.
That compares with a 302m Swiss franc loss a year ago.
Swiss banks are under pressure from regulators to boost capital to protect them from financial shocks.
The bank raised about 6bn francs from shareholders in 2015.
As well as asking its owners for cash to mend its balance sheet, Credit Suisse has said it is in the middle of a 5,500 job-cutting programme.
Raising the new money will increase its tier-one leverage ratio - how much capital it has to absorb losses from lending as a percentage of its total lending - to about 5.1%, it said.
Bernstein analyst Chirantan Barua said: "The capital raise should be enough to allay concerns in the near term, but doesn't really give the franchise the flexibility to see it through a downturn or meaningfully compete in global markets.
"We feel this raise doesn't really take capital totally out of the concern zone."
Mr Barua had estimated that the bank would raise 5bn Swiss francs.
Earlier this month, Credit Suisse chief executive Tidjane Thiam and the bank's board of directors offered to cut their bonuses by 40%.
The Swiss bank has posted two straight years of losses, but its top 12 executives were awarded 78m Swiss francs in pay this year.
Credit Suisse investors are set to meet on 28 April. Under Swiss law, they get a binding annual vote on executive pay. The capital raising will be voted on at another meeting on 18 May.
London-based lender Standard Chartered, also reporting results, said profits almost doubled in the first quarter after losses from bad loans declined.
The bank posted a pre-tax profit of $1bn (£780m), up from $589m in the same period a year ago. The bank set aside $198m for bad loans, less than the  $500m expected by analysts.
"This is an encouraging first quarter but we are not getting carried away," said chief financial officer Andy Halford.


Linfield have announced the resignation of Jim Kerr who has been chairman of the Irish Premiership club since 2007.

Kerr has also quit his role as a board director of the Windsor Park club.
Linfield issued a statement expressing deep regret at Kerr's decision to stand down, but no reason was given for his departure midway through the season.
"The club would like to pay tribute to Jim's immense contribution to Linfield over very many years," the south Belfast club said.
"The board are totally unanimous in giving fulsome praise for the hard work our former chairman has carried out on behalf of the club.
"At a later date it is the intention of the club to more formally recognise Jim Kerr's long years of service to Linfield."


Troops returning from the trenches of World War One were promised "Homes fit for heroes" by Prime Minister David Lloyd George.

One of the most extraordinary resettlement schemes was on an island in County Fermanagh.
Twelve homes were built on Cleenish Island on Upper Lough Erne to help those scarred by the horrors of the war settle back into civilian life.
Each of the 12 veterans was allocated 30 to 40 acres and a house, and left to survive off the land.
The island was only accessible by boat and there was no gas, no electricity, shops or other utilities.
Today, most of the stone houses lie abandoned and decaying amongst the fields of grazing cattle.
Why such a remote location was chosen is a mystery that local historians are hoping to unravel, helped by a Â£10,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Marion Maxwell, from Bellanaleck Local History Group, is hoping to record something of the experiences of the former soldiers, who set out to create new lives for themselves in such a remote and beautiful place.
"While the land was very good, the rent was set very high and they had great difficulty getting on and off the island," she said.
By the time a bridge was finally built in the 1950s, most of the ex-soldiers had left for good.
Johnny Balfour was the only one who survived the hardships of island life.
He lived on Cleenish Island until he was 101 and his son and daughter are now its sole inhabitants.
Bella Balfour, who is 79, remembers it as a great place to grow up.
"The Army had land here and they shared it out among them, gave it to daddy, he got this place here," she said.
"He stayed in it, worked hard and reared us."
Her 84-year-old brother, Sammy Balfour, shared the happy memories of the land their father made his own.
"A bit of land long ago was as precious as the sun rising," he said.
Some of the soldiers bore the physical and psychological scars of their experiences in the war and Marion Maxwell is hoping to find out more about what happened to them.
"It may have been very soothing for them, or possibly the loneliness of it might have been a disadvantage to them. That's the kind of thing we're very keen to try to know more about," she said.
She is hoping to trace descendants of the veterans to help them rediscover their forgotten stories.
Paul Mullan, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in Northern Ireland, added: "We have funded many projects relating to the first world war, as we mark its centenary.
"This one is intriguing and fascinating. We're really looking forward to finding out what Marion and her team uncover."


The cost of decommissioning and cleaning up the Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria has increased by £5bn to £53bn, says the National Audit Office.

Margaret Hodge MP, chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) which commissioned the report, said the cost hike was "astonishing."
A year ago, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, the body responsible for the clean up, said the cost would be £48bn.
The work is also behind schedule, the report said.
The Authority gave the £9bn Sellafield clean-up contract to Nuclear Management Partners (NMP), but following criticism of NMP's competence, decided in January to cancel the contract.
"It is galling that breaking the contract will cost the public purse £430,000," said Mrs Hodge, whose committee recommended the Authority consider doing this a year ago.
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, the Department of Energy and Climate Change, NMP, and Sellafield Ltd. are due to appear before the Committee on 11 March.
Mrs Hodge said she expected them to "tell me how the escalation in cost of cleaning up Sellafield will be stopped and performance put back on track."
Chris Jukes, regional officer of the GMB union, said: "GMB has been absolutely clear all along that the NMP model did not work at Sellafield.
"Poor value for money, poor top NMP management and a lack of grip on key issues in an essential area for the UK energy sector, as well as the UK economy, have led to unbelievable decisions on expenditure."
In 2008, the Authority gave the contract to NMP, as parent body of Sellafield Ltd, the site's licensed operator.
But in February 2014, the PAC concluded that: "The Authority has not demonstrated why, given the lack of risk transferred to (Nuclear Management Partners) this 'parent body' arrangement at Sellafield provides value for money."
Under a new structure, the Authority will take back ownership of Sellafield Ltd.
The total cost of cleaning up the UK's 17 nuclear sites is "around £70bn", the NAO says.
Sellafield is the "UK's largest and most hazardous nuclear site", including two nuclear fuel reprocessing plants, waste management and storage plants, as well as storage ponds and silos containing waste from the UK's first nuclear plants.
The Authority aims to clear the site by 2120.


Fourteen students who topped school leaving exams in India's Bihar state will be retested amid concerns they cheated, the state government has said.

The decision was taken after one of the students, 17-year-old Ruby Rai, told a local media channel that political science was about cooking.
Video of the interview with her and other students went viral in India.
Last year, parents of students in the state were photographed climbing school walls to pass on answers.
The embarrassed state government had announced tough measures like fines and jail terms intended to curb cheating this year.
The markedly lower pass rate seen in the results announced last week was taken as an indication that the steps had worked.
That is, of course, until the footage of arts student Ruby Rai's interview was aired.
The government said that her result, as well as that of Saurabh Shrestha who came first in science and was unable to answer a simple chemistry question, had been suspended with immediate effect.
The two students, along with 12 others who excelled in the examinations, will now have to appear for a written test and interview before a panel of subject experts on 3 June, Bihar examinations chairman Lalkeshwar Prasad Singh told Indian media.
Their handwriting will also be checked to verify if they answered their own questions, he said.


Swansea's Michael Laudrup and Wigan's Roberto Martinez are the frontrunners to replace David Moyes as Everton boss when he takes over from Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in July.

But chairman Bill Kenwright says he will not make a snap decision.
"Eleven years ago I made a decision [to appoint Moyes] and it was an instant decision. I don't think that can happen this time," he said.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We have to see what candidates are out there to take the club forward."
Laudrup, 48, led Swansea to the League Cup trophy this season - the club's first major silverware - while Martinez, 39, has been at Wigan since 2009.
Departing captain Phil Neville, 36, may also figure in Everton's plans.
Kenwright will take on board the views of the fans before making an appointment and said: "I will be looking to the fans to get that guidance.
"I can't individually poll each one of them but it is important that they get the right manager.
"The fans know the adventure they have had for 11 years. A very important part of my life is to see they are not let down because I don't want Evertonians let down."
Kenwright praised Moyes for his contribution at Goodison Park over the last 11 seasons.
"Manchester United are very lucky," he said. "It will be tough for all Evertonians to say goodbye to him, a great manager.
Everton were shocked by the speed of events that have taken David Moyes to Old Trafford. The manager was planning for next season and even held meetings about transfer targets earlier this week before Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement. There was a quiet confidence behind the scenes that, in the apparent absence of attractive offers, Moyes would stay at Goodison Park after his contract expires this summer.
Now owner Bill Kenwright must find a successor to the man who has led Everton for 11 years.  Swansea's Michael Laudrup and Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez head the list but other candidates will merit discussion, such as departing Everton captain Phil Neville. If the decision on who succeeded Ferguson was crucial to Manchester United, the same can be said for Everton as they seek to replace the manager who has been central to the workings of the club since 2002.
"We could not stand in his way because he was out of contract. It was his decision; he has made it."
Neville, who may yet emerge as a candidate to join the new managerial team at Old Trafford, announced last month that he would leave Goodison at the end of the season.
He is highly respected at the club and will gain coaching experience with England at the European Under-21s Championship in Israel this summer.
Former Barcelona and Real Madrid midfielder Laudrup started his managerial career at Danish club Brondby, guiding them to the title and Danish Cup twice during four years in charge.
He then had spells at Spain's Getafe and Spartak Moscow in Russia, before being appointed Real Mallorca manager in La Liga in July 2010.
He joined Swansea City last summer, replacing Liverpool-bound Brendan Rodgers, and has enjoyed a successful first season in England, guiding the Welsh side to their first ever major trophy and ninth place in the Premier League.
Laudrup still has 14 months left on his contract but, with the Dane also linked to Real Madrid, Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has admitted he has a plan in place should he leave.
Former Swans manager Martinez was a target for Aston Villa in June 2011 but opted to stay as the Latics manager, and was also strongly linked with the Liverpool job last summer.
In his first managerial job, the ex-Real Zaragoza and Swansea midfielder guided the Swans into the Championship in 2008.
He was appointed Wigan boss in 2009 and has since helped keep the north west club in the Premier League, while managing on a low budget compared with his rivals.
But Martinez, whose side face Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday and are in a battle to avoid Premier League relegation, said: "It would be a waste of time for anyone [to talk about it] at the moment.
"The most important thing for me is to be ready for Saturday. This is the peak of our season and we are not going to lose any focus or concentration."

Former Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Fulham and QPR boss Mark Hughes, 49, who played for Everton between 2000 and 2002, refused to rule himself out of the running to replace Moyes.
"It's not happened yet but it's obvious if one manager leaves there is an opportunity for other managers who are currently out of work, which includes myself," he told Sky Sports News.
Meanwhile Moyes has paid tribute to the Everton board, players and fans.
He said: "I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and board of directors and a great set of players.
"Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table.
"Everton's fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players.
"Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life."


A mental health trust has apologised over the death of a patient who took her own life just four hours after arriving at a Sussex unit.

Sabrina Walsh, 32, died in October 2016 at the Woodlands Centre in St Leonards.
An inquest heard a nurse said Ms Walsh should be moved to a secure unit in Crawley after earlier suicide attempts.
A jury in Hastings concluded she fell victim to a "gross failing of medical care" for which Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust apologised.
The hearing was told that after being was sent to Woodlands, an "inadequate and serious failure" in her handover meant staff did not know Ms Walsh was high-risk.
Diane Hull, chief nurse for Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust,  said: "Ms Walsh was a vulnerable young woman under our care and she died in tragic circumstances. For that I am sorry."
The court heard Ms Walsh, known as Sabby, deliberately hanged herself with a ligature.
She was only checked on once an hour instead of having one-to-one observation - as admission procedures dictate.
Speaking after the inquest Ms Walsh's mother Christine Lavers, said: "Sabby was a highly intelligent, loving and caring young woman, but she was very vulnerable and she was failed.
"There was no care that day. It's horrendous.
"She may still be alive if they actually assessed her and put her on one-to-one observation, she couldn't have harmed herself."
The jury concluded: "By not following procedures this has had a clear and direct effect on her passing. This is a gross failing of medical care from staff at Woodlands."
Ms Hull said changes, including replacing bathroom doors with ones where there are no ligature points, had been made to "ensure nothing like this can happen again".
There was a similar incident seven years ago when the centre was closed after two suicides within months of each other.
Coroner for East Sussex, James Healy Pratt, said he would be writing a Prevention of Future Deaths Report regarding the ongoing lack of CCTV cameras in the communal areas of the ward.


German police have launched nationwide raids targeting ultra-conservative Islamic Salafists, suspected of posing a threat to public order.

Some 1,000 police officers were involved in searches that took place early on Thursday at Salafists' homes and meeting places in seven states.
A Salafist group called Millatu Ibrahim, based in the western city of Solingen, has been banned.
The raids follow clashes between police and some Salafists.
German authorities believe the Salafists want to create a Sunni Islamic caliphate opposed to Western democracy and that some of the group support martyrdom and using violence.
Raids took place in Bavaria, Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia, among other states.
In one of the raids, police removed items from the home of Salafist preacher Ibrahim Abu Nagie in Cologne.
The authorities have been monitoring Salafist campaigns to recruit supporters, including the distribution of free Korans.
There are believed to be about 4,000 active Salafists in Germany, the state-owned broadcaster ARD reports.
The BBC's Stephen Evans, in Berlin, said that Germany has a track record of violent Islamism, with some of the men who took part in the attacks of 11 September 2001 having worshipped at a Hamburg mosque.
But, he adds, most of Germany's Muslims, most of whom are Turkish in origin, shun violence.


If you don't like sitting in big traffic jams, then give a thought to the drivers and passengers in this huge jam.

10 October 2015 Last updated at 10:49 BST
It happened just outside of Beijing, the capital city of China, as people were returning home from a national holiday.
There are more than 30 lanes of vehicles, which then merge into fewer lanes - it can't have been fun being stuck in any one of them!
Watch the clip to see the gigantic traffic jam...


A North Korean Workers Party Congress is such a rare event that the staging of one this week must, you might think, signal that something of great importance is afoot.

Except of course it might signal the precise opposite. Politics within this last great totalitarian behemoth is so opaque, so impenetrable, that it is impossible to know.
The last congress was held under Kim Il-sung in 1980. But his son, Kim Jong-il, never held one, perhaps because his "military first" doctrine simply subsumed the need for even hollow showcases of civil power.
Or perhaps because he was so supreme in his position he simply did not need to. And now his son, Kim Jong-un, is holding one, perhaps because he wants to show that the military is no longer "first".
Or perhaps because, not yet fully secure in the top job, he needs the domestic propaganda boost provided by such an historically grand occasion.
Perhaps, perhaps.
Or he needs to leverage the co-operation of a wider spectrum of powerful elites to make tough policy changes, edging the country in a new, reformist direction.
Or he wishes to promote younger political blood and new allies into the system.
All, some or none of the above - we simply do not know. What we do know is that on his watch over the past four years or so North Korea has been changing.
Not the nuclear brinkmanship, a game which Mr Kim has continued to play since his father's day while, if anything, raising the stakes.
Nor in the country's human rights record under which even first attempts to flee across the border can now land defectors with three to five years in a labour camp.
But in the economic sphere - the only place reform was going to begin, if ever - there is a hint, just a hint, of change in the air.
Pyongyang as a city has a different feel from my last visit in 2009.
Foreign observers are talking about a "mini boom," the emergence of markets and small shops that are now on every corner of this city.
Commerce was once banned entirely, or at least forced to operate covertly, under a rigid socialist system that officially abhorred all forms of buying and selling.
Today, the North Korean state still provides rations - one of the government minders, deployed to watch and control the invited foreign media, tells me the allowance is currently 650 grams of maize, rice and meat a day, a higher quantity than some recent foreign newspaper reports suggest.
But whatever the true amount, people can now be seen in shops topping up their daily needs, in droves.
There is talk too of industrial reform and the introduction of private incentives albeit within the system of state ownership. And in agriculture too.
We are taken to see a farm, just outside Pyongyang, in which we are told the farmers are paid according to how much they produce - a very capitalist concept if ever there was one.
All of this can be traced back to the days of Kim Jong-il, but the changes have been consolidated under his young son and appear - however slowly and cautiously - to be taking root.
The benefits of these changes may not be felt by everyone of course.
There is still deep poverty and malnutrition in the countryside and it will take more than small-scale experimentation with agricultural reform to end the chronic food shortages that have long plagued this broken command economy.
But at the top end of the social scale there appears to be more choice than ever before.
In one Pyongyang department store we were taken to, shoppers were busy exchanging US dollars and Chinese Renminbi for local North Korean Won, and then spending them on an extraordinary variety of imported goods.
A bottle of imported Japanese beer could be had for 35,000 Won, around $4.50 at the shop exchange rate.
But with wages on our Pyongyang farm averaging around 100,000 North Korean Won a month, at a price of 5,200 Won for a tin of pilchards, a farmer would be able to afford less than 20 tins a month.
Kim Jong-un's sister Yo-Jong waits in the wings
Michael Madden: What might happen at congress?
The strange history of North Korea's Communists
How advanced is North Korea's nuclear programme?
Stephen Evans: Carrots or sticks to take on North Korea?
These are, of course, just glimpses of a city and it's hard to read too much into them.
Where other totalitarian states have been swept away by the tide of history, or forced to adapt to survive, North Korea has remained resolute and resilient, defying all predictions of both demise and gradual reform.
What we can be almost certain of, in the list of choices above, is that the Workers Party Congress is going to be used to consolidate a still relatively new leader's grip on power.
A fifth nuclear test, if it comes, will have precisely the same objective.
But in an unyielding totalitarian state, even small changes affecting small numbers of people, are noteworthy.
And this week's congress will be watched closely for signs of more to come.


Behind Closed Doors explores the rarely talked about issue of children witnessing domestic violence.

Every year hundreds of thousands of children see domestic abuse at home and it can happen to anyone.
Alesha Dixon tells her story to Newsround, along with children who have experienced it first-hand themselves.
We also see CBBC presenter Barney Harwood discover how widespread the problem is, when he spends time with a police unit responding to 999 calls.


A protected bird of prey has been found dead in Bedfordshire and had likely been shot "at close range".

The red kite was discovered by a member of the public at Daintry Wood near Toddington.
An X-ray image showed it had 10 pieces of lead shot lodged in its body.
The RSPB said: "This was clearly no accident and it is especially sad considering the lengths that have been taken to reintroduce these splendid birds to England."
RSPB inspector Jenny Shelton said: "The bird will most likely have been shot at close range to incur this level of damage.
"Red kites feed mainly on carrion, so there is no logical reason for these birds to be targeted".
Bedfordshire Police has appealed for information about the shooting.
Insp Mark Farrant said: "This is a particularly worrying incident against a bird that is fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
"I would ask anyone with information relating to this or similar incidents to call Bedfordshire Police."
According to the RSPB, the shooting of birds of prey is a widespread problem in the UK.
The organisation's latest Bird Crime report said there were 196 reports of shooting, trapping and destruction of birds of prey in 2015, including red kites.
The species is protected under schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the punishment for killing one is up to six months in jail and/or a fine of up to Â£5,000.
Red kites became extinct in England in 1871, with only a handful of pairs left in remote parts of central Wales.
The RSPB helped reintroduce them in 1989 and there are now about 1,000 red kites in England.


Pepsi has pulled an advert that sparked an outcry and accusations that the drinks maker was trivialising recent street protests across the US.

The advert featured reality TV star Kendall Jenner leaving a photo shoot to join a heavily policed demonstration.
She defuses the tension by walking to the police line and handing an officer a can of Pepsi, prompting cheers.
In a statement posted on its website, Pepsi said they did not intend to make light of serious issues.
The much-ridiculed advert was posted to YouTube on Tuesday evening but was no longer accessible there less than 24 hours later.
For nearly two years, there have been protests about the use of force by police against African Americans.
And since the election, there have also been demonstrations against President Donald Trump.
The advert did not specify what the crowds of mainly young, and very good looking, people were marching for. Even their signs only had generic slogans like "conversation" and "voice".
But within minutes of its launch, observers said it trivialised protests in cities like Baltimore, Maryland, and Ferguson, Missouri, that followed the police killing of black men.
"If I had carried Pepsi, I guess I never would have gotten arrested. Who knew?" said DeRay McKesson, a leading activist in the Black Lives Matter movement. "Pepsi, this ad is trash."
"Pepsi should fire its ad agency." New York Post
"Uses protests to sell you a soda." New York Daily News
"Perhaps the most puzzling aspect is the choice of Jenner - a rich, white celebrity - as leading lady." Salon
"The campaign is tone-deaf, almost surreal in its thoughtlessness, and perverse in its attempt to use the fear and suffering of Americans to sell soda." Esquire
Pepsi advert mocked - see the memes
The fizzy drinks maker said it was "trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding".
The statement went on: "Clearly we missed the mark, and we apologise.
"We did not intend to make light of any serious issue. We are removing the content and halting any further rollout."


A Czech police officer who was filmed playing a piano while on duty has been lauded by the chief of police for boosting the force's image.

A 30-second mobile phone video of the performance has been watched nearly 800,000 times on YouTube.
The policeman had taken a break to sit down at one of the pianos placed around central Prague for public use.
Still wearing his bright green reflective vest, he rattled off a few bars of a South Korean composition.
Police chief Martin Cervicek said the clip of the officer playing River Flows In You, by the South Korean composer Yiruma, had done more to improve the image of the force than anything he himself would ever achieve.
The young traffic policeman only joined the force six weeks ago but it is fair to say he is now the most famous officer in the Czech Republic, the BBC's Rob Cameron reports from Prague.
Mr Cervicek said he had spoken to the officer, whose name has not been released, and wished him the same success in his police career.
A superior had spoken to the new recruit about what he could and could not do on duty, he added, but the piano-playing policeman was not formally disciplined.


A total of 67 Russian athletes have lodged appeals against their bans from this summer's Rio Olympics.

The Russian Athletics Federation is barred from international competition because of allegations of state-sponsored doping and cover-ups.
Clean athletes must pass extra doping checks and meet strict criteria for the IAAF to allow them to take part at this summer's Games.
But some athletes have now appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Confirming the appeal, Russia's sports minister Vitaly Mutko did not name the 67 athletes.
However, 2004 and 2008 Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva may be on the list because she had already announced plans to challenge the ruling.
The IAAF set out the "exceptional eligibility" criteria for athletes that includes having their clean doping record verified by credible agencies - ruling out their own authorities.
Because the vast majority of Russian athletes train at home, the IAAF has already suggested "very few" will be deemed eligible.
The ban has been described as "legally indefensible" by the president of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov.
The IAAF insists any Russian athletes cleared to compete in Rio must do so on a "neutral" basis and not under the Russian flag, as International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach had suggested.
