Motorists have been fined nearly £21m for breaking parking rules over the last three years.

Welsh councils dished out more than 600,000 tickets to motorists between 2013 and 2016, according to figures obtained by BBC Wales News.
The Strand in Swansea was Wales' top parking fines hotspot with 2,225 issued last year alone.
Tourism experts fear ticketing sends out the message that people visiting by vehicles are "unwelcome".
According to the data obtained under a Freedom of Information Act (FOI), local authorities in Wales collected more than £20.8m from fines in the last three years.
Motorists parking in Cardiff coughed up the largest sum out of Wales' 22 local authorities - paying out £6,249,781 between April 2013 and March 2016.
But a Cardiff Council spokeswoman said the figure were "not surprising" for a capital city.
Joshua Browder, a British teenager who created an online "robot" which helps motorists in the UK and USA challenge their parking fines, said tickets were issued "overzealously in Wales".
The amount of cash paid to local authorities in Wales for parking fines increased every year over the three year period, from £6.8m in 2013/14 to £7.1m in 2015/16.
But out of the 642,714 parking charge notices (PCNs) issued by Welsh councils less than 3% were successfully appealed by motorists.
Out of the 22 councils, Rhondda and Newport failed to respond to the FOI request, while Blaenau Gwent and Caerphilly said police were responsible for parking fines in their area.
Mr Browder said: "Over 50% of all parking tickets challenged are dismissed and there are so many rules - correct signage and parking bays of a certain size are just two examples - that must be followed for a ticket to be valid.
"Instead of punishing people for doing wrong, which I believe is fair, they are given to raise money for [local] government.
"These unfair tickets disproportionately target the most vulnerable in society, since the elderly and disabled are most likely to make a small parking mistake."
Jim Jones, managing director of North Wales Tourism (NWT), said while quality parking was fundamental to visitor destinations, penalising people meant they may not return.
He said with issues with public transport, councils needed to address the cause of the problem rather than punishing people.
Mr Jones said: "Blanket ticketing all over cars is sending out mixed messages that visitors are not welcome, which has definitely been the case this year, especially when photographs of a stream of cars with yellow parking tickets appear all over social media.
"The answer is quite simple really - clear, easy to understand warning signs that are worded in the correct manner and not threatening," he added.
"It's obvious to me that if cars are continuously parking in areas they shouldn't be for whatever reason, it's highly likely they don't realise they're not allowed to park there, as who in the right mind wants to be fined?"
Vincent Crowley, who blocked the entrance to a construction site outside his home in Splott, Cardiff, earlier this year in protest over parking restrictions, had his fine overturned.
He was incensed after residents forced to park on double yellow lines while work was being carried out on Beresford Road bridge were issued with tickets.
"My actions spoke larger than words," he said.
Gwynedd councillor Sion Jones called for a review of public parking across Wales, saying councils should offer a few hours free daily to boost high street footfall.
Wrexham council is providing free parking at its council-run car parks throughout December.
"Online sales are on the rise, whilst the high street needs a helping hand," the councillor said.
"I would like to see more effort made by councils to boost high street trade, and free parking is a good start."
Earlier this year, Mr Jones criticised the local authority for handing out fines to walkers parking on a road in Snowdonia, claiming there were no signs telling them not to park.
A Cardiff Council spokeswoman said effective enforcement of parking regulations was "crucial" with around 80,000 commuters and visitors to the city every day.
She said: "Our team of parking enforcement officers ensure people don't park inconsiderately or dangerously so if people want to avoid PCNs, they should abide by parking regulations.
"It's important to note that any revenue raised from issuing PCNs is ring-fenced for the provision and improvements to parking services and public transportation."
A Swansea Council spokesman said: "We introduced additional parking spaces along the Strand in 2015 to increase short-term city centre parking provision.
"This was introduced after discussions with the Swansea Business Improvement District (BID)."
The group representing councils in Wales, the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) said rules meant local authorities had to be spend any profit from the fines on transport.
An FOI by the RAC Foundation revealed Welsh councils made a combined profit of £13.8m from car parking charges and enforcement in 2015/16, after running costs were removed.
Of the 22 councils, 19 made a profit, while three councils lost money on parking - Flintshire (£423,000), Blaenau Gwent (£310,000) and Torfaen (£81,000).


Canadian group Urthecast plans to put a 16-satellite constellation in orbit to image the Earth.

Urthecast already has a pair of cameras on the International Space Station, one of which returns short videos.
The new proposal would see free-flying optical and radar sensors circling the globe by the start of the next decade.
Urthecast has asked the UK manufacturer SSTL to make the satellites, and the Spanish concern Elecnor Deimos to design the ground control segment.
The Canadian firm's vision remains the same - to try to push out high volumes of data in easily accessible ways.
It says it wants to drive Earth imagery beyond its traditional customer base, to enable new "Big Data" applications and even social media sharing.
"The goal here is to take vast amounts of Earth observation imagery from multiple sensors, and to put it all on to a very user-friendly, cloud-based platform that allows people then to manipulate the data, to use it, to display it, and to transfer it on to other types of platforms and applications," Wade Larson, Urthecast's president and chief operating officer, told BBC News.
US firm Skybox Imaging, acquired by Google last year, is also building a constellation of video cameras in orbit.
One of the innovative aspects of Urthecast's proposed constellation is the intention to pair an optical satellite (which sees the Earth in visible light) with a radar platform (which can see the ground day or night and in all weathers).
Four such pairs would be launched in two planes - one going over the poles, the other plane concentrating its observations on mid-latitudes.
The radar sensor would lead, with the optical camera following about a minute behind.
Earth observation experts have long talked about the advantages that come from such an arrangement.
The all-weather capability of radar means an image of some sort is always guaranteed, while the lead spacecraft can also spot the cloud-free locations to maximise the chances of getting a picture with the following visible camera system.
Urthecast has been working on a radar sensor that will operate simultaneously in the X-band and L-band frequencies, permitting features to be seen on the ground as small as one metre and five metres across, respectively, when the system is put into a "spotlight" mode.
The optical cameras will achieve half-metre resolution, and will be switchable into a video mode, producing short segments of moving imagery at 30 frames per second.
Apart from the radar sensors, which will be produced in Canada, all of the satellite manufacturing and integration will be done by the UK's Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd at its Guildford base.  This includes the optical cameras.
Each spacecraft will weigh a few hundred kilos, and should be launched in batches in 2019 and 2020.
"There are several reasons why Urthecast came to us, not least because of our experience in constellations," said Luis Gomes, the director of Earth observation for SSTL.
"We have our Disaster Monitoring Constellation; we're building the Galileo satellite-navigation system for the EU, and we're producing the FORMOSAT-7 constellation.
"They came to us and said, 'you guys know how to do this'. And putting the radar together with the optical opens up some really powerful Earth observation techniques."
Elecnor Deimos Space, which is based in Madrid, will do the mission planning and analysis, and look after the ground stations used to communicate with the satellites, amongst other activities.
The Urthecast initiative is just the latest constellation announcement in recent months.  Just last week at the Paris Airshow, Airbus (which owns SSTL) said that it would be building 900 spacecraft for OneWeb, which aims to cover the Earth with broadband connectivity.
However, constellations do have a chequered history. A number of past projects went bankrupt: they were not able to earn sufficient income to support the substantial early capital investment needed to build their orbiting networks.
Mr Larson said Urthecast did not intend to repeat the mistakes of history.  One way to do that, he explained, was to get customers to buy into the constellation in the same way holidaymakers buy into timeshare apartments.
"These key strategic partners would help us fund the project through its build phase. If these customers buy a satellite or a pair of satellites, they can use not only those satellites when they're over their area of interest, they can also federate the capacity of the entire constellation.  So not only do they get the cost-saving economies of buying satellites that are much cheaper because they're part of a constellation, but they're also getting the coverage and re-visit capability of way more satellites than they paid for."
This model is very similar to the one SSTL itself now operates with its Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC), in which a number of national governments have banded together to fly a group of EO satellites in orbit.
"Our system would be like DMC on steroids," said Mr Larson.

England's Matt Fitzpatrick and Andy Sulllivan have taken the last automatic places in Europe's Ryder Cup team.

Europe will have at least five rookies at Hazeltine after the nine qualifiers were decided with a week to spare.
Belgian Thomas Pieters needed to defend his Czech Masters title and Irishman Shane Lowry required a top-four finish in the Wyndham Championship in America to stay in contention.
Both men missed out, handing places to Fitzpatrick and Sullivan.
Pieters only lost out by a single shot to American Paul Peterson on Sunday, while Lowry's closing 67 was not enough to put him among the leaders in North Carolina.
That means Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett, Henrik Stenson, Chris Wood, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Sullivan and Fitzpatrick are guaranteed to go to Minnesota in September in search of a fourth straight win over the USA.
Willett, Wood, Cabrera-Bello, Sullivan and Fitzpatrick will be making their debuts in the event.
Fitzpatrick, 21, finished fifth in Prague to book his Ryder Cup place and said afterwards: "It's a great opportunity, I've got my first one coming up and hopefully I can just keep pushing on my game and getting better."
Peterson finished 15 under par in Prague with Britons David Howell and Ryan Evans joint third on the final leaderboard.
European captain Darren Clarke will name his three Ryder Cup wild cards on 30 August.


Jobseekers are to be given 14 days' warning before facing benefit sanctions under a new scheme being trialled next year, the government has announced.

Currently sanctions, which result in the loss of benefits, can be imposed immediately.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said they were a "necessary part of the system" but kept under review.
Labour's Frank Field, who is the chairman of the Work and Pensions Select Committee, welcomed the move.
"Conditionality is an important part of our benefit system, but sanctions must be fair, clearly understood and not plunge families into unjustifiable hardship," he said.
Claimants face sanctions for issues such as failing to turn up for job interviews or meetings with job advisers.
In a parliamentary statement to the Commons, Mr Duncan Smith said that it was in response to a report by the select committee that he had decided to trial a warning system.
"We will trial arrangements whereby claimants are given a warning of our intention to sanction and a 14-day period to provide evidence of good reason before the decision to sanction is made.
"During this time claimants will have another opportunity to provide further evidence to explain their non-compliance," he said.
But shadow work and pensions secretary Owen Smith claimed that the written statement had been "snuck out" and did not address "any of the principal recommendations" of the select committee.
"In particular it doesn't address the recommendation as to whether there should be an independent review into those people who have died while subject to benefit sanctions," he said.
Kirsty McHugh, chief executive of the Employment Related Services Association, said: "We welcome the recognition by the secretary of state that the sanctions system is in need of reform, but are concerned that the changes today don't go far enough."
She said that for some jobseekers receiving a sanction could act as a wake-up call, but for the majority the sanction system was more likely to "hinder the journey to employment".
"Jobseekers move into work quickest when they feel positive about work and thus sanctions should only be used as a last resort," she added.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: "The vast majority of jobseekers do everything expected of them in return for their benefits, and accept the support on offer to move into work.
"There are now record levels of employment in the UK, and unemployment is back to pre-recession levels. The Jobcentre regime, of which sanctions are a part, has played an important role in this."


Southampton and England defender Ryan Bertrand has signed a new five-year contract with the Premier League club.

Bertrand, 26, joined Saints from Chelsea for £10m in February 2015 following an initial loan spell.
The left-back has won nine caps for England, most recently against Slovakia in the group stage at Euro 2016.
Bertrand joins team-mates Virgil van Dijk, Fraser Forster, James Ward-Prowse and Steven Davis in agreeing a new deal with Southampton this summer.


A 16-year-old boy who raped and sexually assaulted younger girls has been sentenced to eight years' detention.

The boy, from Lincolnshire, groomed some of the girls on Facebook and encouraged them to send him photos of their breasts.
He was aged between 14 and 16 when he committed the 10 offences over a 17-month period.
His victims were five girls aged between 12 and 15.
Sentencing the boy, who cannot be named, Judge Michael Heath said he regarded him as "dangerous" but would not impose an extended sentence because of his age.
The teenager was made the subject of a sexual offences prevention order and must also register as a sex offender.
Judge Heath told him: "You targeted and groomed girls, and indulged in persistent pestering of these girls because of their age, by social media and other means."
The boy admitted the 10 offences, which included three charges of rape.
Grace Hale, prosecuting, said two of the girls were encouraged to perform a sexual act on the boy while another had underage sex with him.
In a statement read out at Lincoln Crown Court, one of the victims described how afterwards she felt "horrible, used, scared and worried."
In mitigation, Caroline Bradley said the boy had been badly bullied by his peers at school and found it easier to mix with younger children.
Miss Bradley told the court he was a bright boy who worked hard within his family and understood what he had done was wrong.


A privately run prison in Greater Manchester had the highest number of prisoners caught with drugs in England last year.

Forest Bank in Salford, which is run by Sodexo Justice Services, had 154 cases, government figures showed.
There has been an increase in the number of prisoners found with drugs in three out of the last four years.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said inmates caught with drugs in prison could face further prosecution.
The figures reveal the only drop at the prison was in 2011-12 when there were 52 incidents, compared with 96 in 2010-11 but there was a rise in 2012-13, with 113 seizures.
MOJ spokesman Andrew Selous said the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) deployed a "comprehensive range of robust searching and security measures", to detect items of contraband both at the point of entry to the prison and concealed within the prison.
The information came in a written reply to a question from Conservative MP Andrew Griffiths which asked "How many visitors, staff and prisoners were caught attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into each prison in England in the last four years?"
Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "It is worrying that Sodexo, which seems to have a serious drug problem in its prisons, has been handed contracts worth millions of pounds to run community sentences."
Sodexo responded: "Drugs are a challenge for all prisons and at Sodexo we take a robust and proactive approach to keeping drugs out of all of our prisons.
"We also work hard to help prisoners with drugs issues to recover from their addictions."


The authorities in the US are still considering banning laptops from cabin baggage on all international flights, the head of Homeland Security says.

John Kelly said there was a real threat and terrorists were "obsessed" with the idea of knocking down a US plane.
The US already has a ban on laptops on flights to and from eight mostly-Muslim countries.
Two weeks ago, officials decided not to extend that ban to flights between the US and EU countries.
But Mr Kelly's comments cast doubt over that decision.
The measure was introduced over fears a bomb could be concealed in a device.
Mr Kelly was speaking on the breakfast programme Fox News Sunday about efforts to combat terrorism after Monday's bomb attack in the UK .
When the host asked him if he would ban laptops from all international flights, he answered: "I might."
"We're still following intelligence," he continued.
"It is a real sophisticated threat and I reserve that decision until we see where it's going."
The US restrictions, introduced in March, apply to devices "larger than a smartphone". They are not allowed in the cabins of flights from Turkey, Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
The UK issued similar rules for flights from six countries.
But air travel safety experts warn there is a greater risk of lithium battery fires going unchecked if large electronic items are left in the hold.


A male pedestrian has died after he was involved in a collision with a lorry on the A90 north of Dundee.

The incident happened near Petterden at about 15:00.
The northbound carriageway of the A90 was closed to allow police investigations to take place.
Police Scotland said the man's next of kin had been informed but no further details would be released until he had been formally identified.
Officers have appealed for witnesses to come forward.


A man alleged to have illegally flown a camera drone over packed football stadiums and London tourist attractions has appeared in court.

Nigel Wilson, 42, from Bingham, near Nottingham, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court accused of 17 breaches of the Air Navigation Order.
It is the first prosecution of its kind in England to follow a police-led investigation.
Mr Wilson admitted two counts, but will go on trial for the remaining 15.
Mr Wilson, of Rockingham Grove, admitted two counts of not maintaining visual, unaided contact with an unmanned surveillance aircraft to monitor its flight path.
They relate to incidents over the north bank of the River Thames on September 27 and during Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester on October 18.
He denied other charges of flying a "small unmanned surveillance aircraft" without permission during football matches at various grounds.
They included Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, Liverpool's Anfield ground as well as Nottingham Forest's City Ground, Derby County's iPro stadium and the King Power Stadium in Leicester.
The charges also claim he breached regulations by failing to maintain direct visual contact with the drone as he flew it near landmarks including Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Westminster.
The majority of the offences are said to have happened in September last year.
Prosecutor Edward Aydin said: "These were extremely busy areas.
"The fear of the police and the Civil Aviation Authority is that it [the drone] is going to fall out of the sky and hit someone."
The Civil Aviation Authority successfully brought two similar cases to court in 2013 and 2014.
However, this is the first time someone has been prosecuted by the Crown Prosecution Service after a police operation.
Mr Wilson is due to appear at the same court on Friday so that a date for his trial can be set.


Northampton Town edged to victory over Newport County to continue their charge for promotion from League Two.

John Marquis scored the winner midway through the first half, firing home after being teed up by Lee Martin.
Medy Elito struck the crossbar as Newport pressed for an equaliser after the break but the Cobblers held on.
Northampton remain 17 points clear of fourth but, with other results going against them on Friday, they will not be able to seal promotion on Monday.
Victories for third-placed Bristol Rovers and fourth-placed Plymouth Argyle means Chris Wilder's side will have to wait until at least Saturday, 2 April to secure promotion to League One.
Newport manager Warren Feeney told BBC Radio Wales: "I'm gutted for the players because I don't think you'll see another team come against the champions - they'll win the League easily - and outplay them like that, like we did.
"I said to the players it's fine margins, we didn't track a runner for the goal - but apart from that I thought we had the best chances of the game.
"It's about taking your chances and we didn't."


Mexico's competition commission has revoked a $929m fine imposed on the country's main mobile phone company.

America Movil - which is owned by the world's richest man, Carlos Slim, was sanctioned last year for alleged monopolistic practices.
But the commission (Cofeco) said it had dropped the fine in return for concessions including reduced charges for connections from rival networks.
The decision ends a lengthy legal battle.
America Movil controls about 70% of Mexico's mobile phone network and 80% of its landlines.
In return for dropping the fine, Cofeco ordered the firm to cut the amount it charges rival networks to connect by around 20%.
"For Cofeco it is clearly preferable to secure direct and immediate benefits for consumers worth up to $6bn a year than to pursue a legal case for years to eventually impose a fine worth a fraction of that amount," the competition regulator said in a statement.

For many, the fact Carlos Slim has overturned the decision is further evidence of his power in Mexico and the toothlessness of the country's regulators.
During the legal battle, Mr Slim's company had successfully lobbied to remove the president of the anti-trust commission following public comments he made about the case.
Mexicans are long used to what are considered high prices for mobile phone use.
Earlier this year, an OECD report found that the country's mobile providers had overcharged customers by as much as $14bn, something Mr Slim denies.
Carlos Slim's telecommunications empire has been under considerable pressure from regulators to reduce charges to consumers and end alleged monopolistic practices.
Mr Slim, 72, last year came top of Forbes magazine's annual list of the world's richest billionaires for the third year running.
The magazine estimates that Mr Slim is worth $69bn (Â£44bn).
America Movil is the largest mobile phone company in Latin America and one of the biggest in the world, with hundreds of millions of customers.
Mr Slim controls more than 200 companies, ranging from telecoms to construction, banking and retail.


For a moment, it looked as though the CBI had come up with a radical answer to the UK's economic challenges.

"We need to arm our employees," read the message on the animated display above the conference podium.
But fortunately, the sentence didn't end there. A moment later, the second half of the statement flashed up: "with higher work skills."
It was part of a set of whizzy graphics designed to promote the CBI's new report, A Better Off Britain, "or Bob for short," as the organisation's deputy director general, Katja Hall, helpfully put it.
To be fair, that militaristic mishap was a rare glitch in an otherwise well-organised event.
Business leaders were left in no doubt that this was their last gathering before the 2015 general election: just six months to go, as the Liberal Democrats' Nick Clegg reminded them twice in 10 minutes.
Also appearing were Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour's Ed Miliband, there to make vote-grabbing pitches for the right to run the UK's economy.
No UKIP, however: in the eyes of the CBI, you just haven't earned it yet, Nigel.
Mr Miliband did his best to set the economic agenda for the conference before it had even started, by briefing the business press in advance on the content of his speech.
Taking as his theme the dangers of the UK leaving the European Union, he wrote a piece for influential London freesheet City AM, which then rewarded him with the sceptical headline: Ed Miliband stokes fears over Brexit.
As expected, Mr Clegg also took a pro-EU stance, accusing his Conservative coalition partners of saying, "If we don't get what we want, we'll throw our teddies out of the pram."
But Mr Cameron barely mentioned Europe in his initial speech, preferring to showcase domestic themes. Only after questions from the floor did he address the issue in greater depth.
Conference delegates judged the trio not just on what they said, but how they said it, picking up on their body language just as much as their ideas.
They noticed that while Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg stood at the front of the stage and spoke without notes, Mr Miliband preferred to stand at the lectern.
"Cameron was very slick, he knows his stuff, he stood out front and engaged the audience," said Jonathan Elliott, general manager of Xerox's health business. "He inspires a  lot of confidence, he's got a good balance of humour and facts.
"Clegg was trying to be engaging, but stuttered on the facts. He didn't have a completely thought-through approach.
"Miliband, standing right behind the lectern, didn't inspire confidence. He was making notes as people asked questions and he was dismissive of points people made."
Delegates gave a respectful hearing to all three party leaders and resented any effort to deviate from the economic issues.
The most startling reaction from the audience was the mass groan of dismay that greeted an ITV News reporter's attempt to challenge Mr Miliband on the alleged "crisis of confidence" in his party leadership.
Many felt that the Labour leader came across as more human when he acknowledged the recent press coverage of his political travails.
At the same time, however, not everyone was convinced that the answers on offer were sufficient to address the challenges ahead.
"They're all grappling with globalisation and how hard it is to create wealth," said Mike Plaut, managing director of Wales-based hotel room electrical equipment manufacturer Northmace.
"They're all aware of how fragile everything is. We're doing well in Britain, but we export to 100 countries and the rest of the world really is a mess.
"There are huge problems and there are no easy fixes. But they're saying what the audience wants to hear. I don't think there's any depth there."
In many ways, one of the most enlightening contributions came from a Swedish politician, Fredrik Reinfeldt of the Moderate Party, who was his country's prime minister until he lost power two months ago in a general election.
In his speech, he spoke up for efforts to change the EU from within, hailing the fact that Sweden's EU commissioner now had the trade portfolio and was in a position to fight for completion of the single market.
"In cross-border service trading, a lot of bureaucracy and a lot of obstacles are still there," he said.
Although one delegate mocked the obsession in Brussels with harmonisation of standards, Mr Reinfeldt pointed out that this was the only way to prevent backdoor protectionism, quoting the example of Italian fire safety rules that stopped Swedish furniture makers exporting their chairs there.
"You have a different kind of fire in Italy?" he asked.
Mr Reinfeldt said the only way to achieve change in the EU was from within: "You can't stand outside the EU and say, 'You in there, you must shape up.'"
His approach won him friends, with one member of the audience saying how "refreshing" it was to hear a speech on Europe that was "not just about slogans".
While the UK's politicians all strove to come across as the chief executive's chief executive, Mr Reinfeldt's slightly professorial manner was clearly from a different leadership manual altogether.
But many delegates had a good word to say for "the Swedish guy" during the ensuing coffee break, making him one of the quiet hits of the conference.


Crawley Town midfielder Jimmy Smith has agreed a new one-year deal with the League Two club.

The 29-year-old former Leyton Orient and Stevenage player joined the Reds in May 2014.
He has since made 76 appearances, scoring two league goals and recovered from a broken ankle last season.
"His experience, a willingness to work hard and his energy are all important attributes to have at this level," head coach Dermot Drummy said.
Meanwhile midfielder Bobson Bawling has also agreed a one-year contract with the West Sussex club, with the option of a further year.


A policeman who fractured a football fan's hand by hitting him with a baton has been reprimanded for misconduct.

The Birmingham City supporter was injured as he filmed police outside Villa Park ahead of a derby clash in September.
The West Midlands Police officer said he struck the man amid a volatile situation and feared for his safety.
He will be retrained in first aid and the use of force, the police watchdog said.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) conducted an investigation after the supporter, described as Mr A, claimed he was the victim of excessive force.
The unidentified officer, known as PC K, was with a unit responsible for moving Blues fans to Villa Park before the game, where a high level of disorder was expected.
Mr A was among a large crowd escorted to the ground before they were stopped by police near some gates, behind which where Aston Villa fans.
He said the crowd was amicable and he began filming them on his iPhone, which had emitted a bright light.
He said he was then struck by something on his left hand and dropped his phone.
He was later diagnosed with an impacted fracture.
Evidence from PC K and British Transport Police staff said the crowd was aggressive with "a definite intention to be violent".
PC K said he was temporarily blinded by a light close to his face. He said Blues fans had used "flashbang" grenades earlier and thought the light was a similar device.
He said he raised his baton and used enough force "to get that light out of my eyes".
The watchdog concluded the officer had a case to answer for misconduct over the force he used, but no criminal offence had taken place.
West Midlands Police will give the officer training, the IPCC said.


Gregor Townsend says Saturday's 1872 Cup derby provides one last chance for players to force their way into his first Scotland squad.

The clash with Edinburgh is Townsend's last as Glasgow head coach, before he takes charge of the national team.
He will name his squad for the June fixtures against Italy, Australia and Fiji on Monday.
"This game is really important in finalising who we're going to take," Townsend told BBC Scotland.
"We thought about announcing it a couple of weeks ago, but thought that wouldn't have been fair on the players who are involved in this game.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It's the last game of the season, we'll know who is available in terms of injuries after this weekend, and it's an opportunity for certain players that may be close to selection to push themselves into that final squad."
Townsend's Warriors have failed to earn a Pro12 semi-final spot for the first time in five seasons, finishing in sixth place regardless of Saturday's result.
Their inter-city rivals have endured a torrid league campaign - ending a run of eight successive defeats with Friday's win over the Dragons - and can finish no higher than ninth.
The incoming Scotland boss will lead his new charges on a three-Test southern hemisphere tour, taking on Italy in Singapore, Australia in Sydney, and finally Fiji in the archipelago capital of Suva.
"The one positive from a Scotland perspective about neither Glasgow or Edinburgh making the play-offs is that we'll have more time to work with the players," Townsend added.
"We'll have a three-week build-up to our tour. It'll be really exciting, we're going to a new environment, Singapore to play Italy, then Sydney to play Australia, then on to Fiji. So six weeks working with that group of players is invaluable for us as new coaches."
The former Scotland international, who won 82 caps, will have a near-full-strength compliment of players at his disposal, with Warriors duo Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour the only Scots to win selection for the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand.
"We'll be looking to take our strongest squad," Townsend said. "So after this weekend the players that are available, players that are on form, players who've played well for Scotland, have got the best chance of going on that tour."
Townsend will also have former Scotland captain Mike Blair at his flank, with the retired scrum-half joining the national coaching set-up for the trio of Tests.
Blair took up the role of skills coach with Glasgow after retiring from playing last April, and will remain with the Warriors staff outside of international windows.
"Mike's a new coach, he's only been coaching for this season, but he's shown a really good commitment to the role," Townsend said.
"He works very hard, he's been a big help to me in terms of the attack, he's been a big help to the players too with the skill work he does and the close work he does with the scrum-halves.
"So to have him when we're on tour and when we're in Test windows will be great, but also for him to continue [at Glasgow] working with the group will be excellent for the Glasgow players."


The presidential elections in the Maldives will go to a second round after frontrunner Mohamed Nasheed failed to win an outright majority.

Mohamed Nasheed obtained 45% but needed more than 50% to avoid a run-off against his rival, Abdulla Yameen, who got 25% of the vote.
After decades of autocratic rule, the Maldives held its first free election in 2008, which was won by Mr Nasheed.
But he was ousted as president 18 months ago in an alleged coup.
Officials said the run-off was due to be held on 28 September.
Mr Nasheed's rival, Abdulla Yameen, is the half-brother of the Maldives' former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom who led the country for 30 years.
Mr Nasheed resigned in February 2012 when army and police personnel joined opposition-led protests over the arrest of a senior judge.
The judge, Abdulla Mohamed, was detained in January 2012 after ordering the release of an opposition politician.
Mr Nasheed said he was stepping down to prevent "bloodshed", but later said he was forced to resign at gunpoint by police and army officers.
He was replaced by President Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik, who had also been running in Saturday's election but polled only 5% of the vote.
Mr Waheed has consistently rejected claims of a coup by Nasheed supporters.
The leadership change sparked political unrest, leading to fears that the protests would have an impact on the islands' tourism industry.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said last week that he hoped the elections would be "credible and peaceful".
Key issues for voters included religion, nationalism, education and the economy.
Thoriq Hamid, a representative of poll monitoring group Transparency Maldives, said that the campaigning had been conducted "smoothly and peacefully".
However, there was still "some apprehension and confidence issues about the security forces", he said.


Worcester Warriors head coach Carl Hogg has admitted it is "essential" they become a force on their new artificial pitch next season.

The Premiership club are laying a new organic surface at Sixways, joining Saracens and Newcastle in playing their home games on an all-weather pitch.
"It does change the dynamics of the game slightly," Hogg, 47, told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"It's part and parcel of the game now - we need to get up to speed with it."
Warriors' three pre-season matches are all away - against French side Clermont Auvergne, Jersey and Munster - while their new home is being prepared.
They start the 2016-17 season against European and Premiership champions Sarries at Twickenham before local rivals Gloucester come to Sixways on 9 September.
And with five of their seven wins last term coming at home, Hogg knows this campaign on their own patch will be even more important.
"It's essential that we find our feet," Hogg said.
"Our new surface should give us an added advantage playing on it every other week.
"You can lock-out the scrums because your feet get more purchase and the mauls and other contact areas tend to be much more cleaner and sharper on a 4G surface and that's something you have to build your decision making around."
Warriors will renew their rivalry with newly-promoted Bristol after Andy Robinson's side finally got out of the second tier last season after four previous play-off failures.
Bristol did the double over Warriors in the Championship two seasons ago but Worcester got revenge winning a pulsating play-off final in May 2015 by a single point on aggregate.
And Hogg is expecting Robinson's side to be a threat.
"Andy's done a fantastic job down there - it's been two or three years in the making," Hogg said.
"They've got some real consistency and they'll be a challenge in the Premiership, especially at Ashton Gate."


US President Donald Trump has condemned dozens of violent threats made against US Jewish community centres in the past few weeks.

"We have to fight bigotry, intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forms," he said while visiting an African-American museum in Washington.
"The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centres are horrible and painful", he said.
The FBI opened an investigation on Monday following more threats.
"I will tell you that anti-Semitism is horrible and it's going to stop and it has to stop," Mr Trump said in an interview with NBC earlier on Tuesday.
Last week, 27 Jewish community centres in at least 17 US states reported receiving hoax bomb threats. On Monday 11 more were made across the country.
No bombs were found at any locations, and normal services resumed following building evacuations.


A sport psychologist has said Raheem Sterling made a "brave" decision to sit out England's Euro 2016 qualifying win over Estonia on Sunday.

Sterling, 19, has played more than 3,000 minutes of football in 2014.
The Liverpool midfielder was used as a substitute in the Group E match after telling boss Roy Hodgson he was tired.
"To see this athlete acknowledge he would struggle to make an impact is a very brave move," Birmingham University's Dr Jennifer Cumming said.
The chartered psychologist said it is rare for current players to admit to fatigue, and that getting players to speak about the strains of the game is an obstacle football has not tackled yet.
"Comparatively there are a lot of former players who are open to talking about these issues and their problems," she said.
"The more we break the stigmas of psychological stress and strain in sport being a weakness, the more we can send a really important message."
Sterling came on in the 64th minute for club-mate Jordan Henderson. He was then fouled and the subsequent free-kick taken by captain Wayne Rooney proved the only goal of the game to maintain England's 100% record in the group.
The teenager has already been rested by club manager Brendan Rodgers for this season's Premier League match against Aston Villa in September.
And Dr Cumming believes coping with responsibilities for both club and country is a common factor in players developing emotional stress.
"Burnout is an ongoing problem that slowly accumulates," she said.
"Training and playing in an international team is something we've seen contribute towards stress before in rugby players."
Only four players in the England squad have played more minutes of football than Sterling.
He has played 3,014 minutes for club and country this year. Only Jordan Henderson, Leighton Baines, Joe Hart and Gary Cahill have played more during the same period.


Electronic voting should be introduced to speed up business in the House of Commons, the SNP has suggested.

The party said electronic voting in the Scottish Parliament - which allows MSPs to vote without leaving their seats - takes "just a matter of seconds".
But it can take 15 to 20 minutes for up to 650 MPs to funnel through the lobbies during divisions in the House of Commons.
The SNP said it was now time to ditch the "antiquated Westminster tradition".
SNP MP Hannah Bardell said the time "wasted" during divisions would have been "much better spent representing our constituents and tackling the issues that impact on their lives".
The Scottish Parliament has used electronic voting since it was reconvened in 1999. A similar system is also used in the Welsh Assembly.
Ms Bardell said: "Electronic voting has been shown to work in Scotland, Wales and in parliaments around the world.
"But the House of Common's reluctance to modernise its outmoded procedures is part of the reason that parliament is far from family friendly and continues to be considered alien and remote by the public."
Ms Bardell said the UK Parliament could get through much more business if it chose to "live in the 21st century, not the 17th".
The Livingston MP added: "As we move towards the start of 2016, it's well and truly time to create a modern parliament that is fit for a modern democracy."
The UK Parliament website states that proposals to adopt an electronic means of voting have been been considered in the past.
But it says alternative to the present system did not appear to command any great support among MPs.
It adds: "Many members view the procedure of voting in person through the lobbies as an essential opportunity to speak to or lobby senior colleagues".


Police in Northern Ireland have said loyalist paramilitaries have organised some of the recent violence over flags.

In Belfast on Friday, eight officers were injured and 13 people arrested in clashes between loyalists and police.
Senior officers had appealed to loyalists planning to protest in Belfast city centre later not to do so.
However, several thousand loyalists have been protesting outside City Hall. An Irish tricolour flag has been set on fire.
Loyalists opposed to new restrictions on flying the union flag at Belfast city hall have been holding protests across Northern Ireland all week after the city council voted to fly the flag on designated days.
Nationalists at Belfast City Council had wanted the union flag taken down altogether, but in the end voted on a compromise from the Alliance party that it would fly on designated days.
Unionists have said they consider the changes regarding the union flag to be an attack on their cultural identity.
On Friday, six officers were injured in the Crumlin Road and Ligoneill Road area of north Belfast and two at Shaftesbury Square in the city centre.
Assistant Chief Constable Will Kerr, of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, said: "Loyalist paramilitary groups are now actively involved in orchestrating this disorder and we've seen that in various parts of the greater Belfast area over the course of the last couple of nights."
He said members of both the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) have been involved.
"We've seen members of both groups actively involved in the violence, we're now seeing senior members actively involved in orchestrating the violence."
ACC Kerr called on those planning to protest in Belfast city centre on Saturday to "step back".
"This is not the time, the place, the day, or the area to be involved in that protest. We have very significant concerns about public safety in Belfast city centre today," he said.
"We have committed a very significant policing presence to Belfast city centre today to make sure we keep people safe. We will not accept violent or illegal behaviour today and we have the resources to deal with it.
"Please step back. This is a time for calm heads and reflection as we approach Christmas. This is not the time for thuggery disguised as protest."
The home of an Alliance party councillor was attacked in County Down overnight.
The party said windows were smashed and a car also damaged at Linda Cleland's house in Newtownards.
"I saw this tall hooded person in my garden - I have a rockery -  and they were lifting the boulders," Councillor Cleland said.
"There were more bangs and I heard people on the roof and then I phoned 999.
"They've literally put in all my downstairs windows, they've put in all the windows of my car and they've put in one of my upstairs windows. I have never been so scared in my life, or felt so helpless."
Belfast's Christmas Market has been temporarily closed and politicians have warned that the economy is being damaged on what should be some of the year's busiest shopping days.
On Friday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited the city and condemned the violence.
Her comments came before Friday night clashes. Among those arrested on Friday was a boy aged 13.
Three people - two men, aged 18 and 29, and a 17-year-old boy - are due in court later on Saturday.
ACC Kerr said 27 police officers had been injured while dealing with disorder this week.
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt also urged the protesters to stop.
"Anyone who attacks a police officer, anyone who riots, anyone who engages in illegal street protest, is disrespecting the values of the Union flag," he said.
"Stop now. You are losing the argument."
The SDLP's Conall McDevitt said: "The protesters are now damaging the economy of their own city.
"Last night's violence proved extremely damaging to both the footfall and the reputation of south Belfast's night-time economy, which in turn hurts local business owners and local jobs."
There were a number of developments during the disturbances on Friday evening:
In other disturbances, about 200 people were at the DUP mayor of Newtownabbey's Christmas dinner and 400 were at a Christmas function involving singer Peter Corry.
About 30 to 40 loyalists who congregated at the gates hijacked and burned two cars and smashed the windscreens of other cars belonging to people attending the functions.
People at the play were delayed and those at the Christmas dinner had their evening cut short because entertainers could not get into the premises.
A situation arose where people inside could not leave and people attempting to enter were obstructed.
DUP assembly member Paul Girvan attempted to speak to the protesters but was initially stoned before being recognised by the loyalists.
He said that as far as he was concerned there was clear paramilitary orchestration.
"Irrespective of what anybody says there was definitely clear paramilitary involvement in this," he said.
"Some figures well known to myself  were there and have links to the UVF (Ulster Volunteer Force)."


Championship side Fulham came from behind to knock out Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup second-round.

Top-flight Boro took the lead in the ninth minute as David Nugent headed in debutant Fabio's back post cross.
Cauley Woodrow was denied by Brad Guzan for the hosts shortly after before Julien de Sart inadvertently deflected Scott Malone's strike into his own net.
With penalties looming, Lasse Vigen Christensen turned in Malone's low cross for a place in round three.
The Whites will take on Bristol City in round three.
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic:
"I never had any plan to leave Fulham.
"If I complain about something it is because I want the best for my team, my team-mates, the supporters too and I was very clear what is my opinion about this situation and that is it.
"I am still in the same position and believe we need more people to be stronger in the future."
Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka:
"I'm disappointed because I said before the game this trophy is very important for the club.
"I have to apologise to our crowd because they came here midweek and it's an important trophy for this club, we respect this trophy a lot. So this has been difficult."

Ulster-Scots is a language which has been part of life here since the first Scots planters arrived in Ulster in the 17th Century.

But more than 400 years on, it has become a sticking point in the Stormont talks.
In response to demands for an Irish language act, the Democratic Unionist party is understood to want more formal protection for Ulster-Scots too.
But what form would that take and what do Ulster-Scots speakers want?
According to the 2011 census, 8% of Northern Ireland's population claim some knowledge of Ulster-Scots - just over 140,000 people.
That included 13% of Protestants and 3% of Catholics.
By contrast, more than 179,000 people claimed to have some knowledge of Irish.
The former Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure published proposals for an Irish language act in 2015.
However, in the same year the department published a strategy to enhance and develop the Ulster-Scots language, heritage and culture up until the year 2035.
Although a strategy is not legislation, that document gives some pointers about what form any enhanced status for Ulster-Scots may mean.
It included these proposals:
Those were all important for Ulster-Scots enthusiasts at the Ullans centre in Ballymoney, County Antrim - a hub for the Ulster-Scots language, music, dance and history.
But more money is also a big issue, according to Louise Morrow who teaches classes in Ulster-Scots.
"Equality of funding is a big thing for me," she said.
"The Irish language does get more funding and is more recognised than the Ulster-Scots language.
"We would also like to see more Ulster-Scots townland names being recognised.
"Ulster-Scots is forgotten about in some ways I feel."
For fellow volunteer Johnny Crawford, more education is vital.
"We'd like to see more provision in schools and more curriculum-based Ulster-Scots," he said.
"It's also mostly primary school driven, as there isn't a lot of resources for post-primary pupils."
The Ullans centre is also home to Northern Ireland's only dedicated Ulster-Scots radio station, Fuse FM.
One of its presenters, Liam Logan, says any legislation or strategy to protect and promote Ulster-Scots can be introduced gradually.
"At the bottom of it is that notion of education, so people have an idea of their Ulster-Scots linguistic heritage," he said.
"And a wee bit of respect that says just because you speak in an Ulster-Scots way, it doesn't mean you're stupid."
So while the talking goes on at Stormont - and like their counterparts who speak Irish - Ulster-Scots enthusiasts say they want action and not just words.
And according to fluent Ulster-Scots speaker Jack Kyle, from Ballymoney, the stakes are high.
"I was born here, my father was born here and my mum and my grandparents," he said.
"People around here still speak Ulster-Scots like they did.
"We just don't want to see it dying out."


Nathan Blissett's late winner against Southport saw Torquay move out of the National League relegation zone for the first time in six months.

The striker, whose absence over the past three matches coincided with the Gulls failing to score in those games, tapped in from close range.
Managerless Southport deserved a point as Louis Almond and Josh Thompson went close before Blissett's winner.
The win extended the Gulls' unbeaten run to eight league games.
Experienced striker Andy Bishop took caretaker charge of the visitors following Dino Maamria's exit earlier in the week.


Borussia Dortmund's Champions League quarter-final with Monaco has been postponed after the Dortmund team bus was damaged by an explosion.

The German team confirmed that defender Marc Bartra broke his wrist in an incident near their hotel and required hospital treatment.
The match will now be played at Dortmund's Westfalenstadion at 17:45 BST on Wednesday.
Police confirmed there had been three explosions in the area of the team bus.

Dortmund's chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke said: "There has been an attack with explosives on the team bus.
"The whole team is in a state of shock - you can't get pictures like that out of your head."
Windows were broken on the bus, which was six miles from the stadium at the time of the incident at around 18:00 BST, and former Barcelona centre-back Bartra was sent to hospital.
Police said the cause of the explosions, at Hochsten outside the city, was unclear, but added there had been no evidence of any threat to supporters.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy tweeted his support, wishing Bartra a quick recovery, as did his former club.
The night's other quarter-final between Juventus and Barcelona kicked off as scheduled.
Dortmund president Reinhard Rauball added: "Of course this is an extremely difficult situation for the players.
"But they are professionals, and I am convinced that they will put that away and will bring their performance on Wednesday."


Alloa Athletic and Livingston maintained their winning starts to the Scottish League One season with victories over East Fife and Stenhousemuir respectively.

Livi moved top on goal difference with a 4-1 defeat of Stenny, while Alloa overcame the Fifers 2-1.
Airdrieonians were winners by a solitary goal against Stranraer, while Brechin and Queen's Park drew 0-0.
And it was 2-2 between Peterhead and Albion Rovers.
Danny Mullen scored two of Livi's goals, with Scott Pittman and Jackson Longridge also on target and Colin McMenamin converting a late penalty for Stenny.
Alloa, who claimed an eighth win out of eight competitive games this season, moved into a two-goal lead through Iain Flannigan and Greig Spence before Kevin O'Hara replied for East Fife.
Andy Ryan's 26th-minute goal proved to be enough for Airdrieonians.
Ross Stewart scored twice to bring Rovers back from 2-0 down against Peterhead, who had led through Ryan Baptie and Rory McAllilster.
Brechin City's draw against the Spiders means Darren Dods' side remain unbeaten in the league this season.


Sixties pop legend Georgie Fame is being honoured by his home town in Greater Manchester.

The 71-year-old rhythm and blues and jazz artist - real name Clive Powell - will have a star added to Believe Square at Leigh Town Hall later.
He is the third recipient following Leigh Centurions rugby league team and rugby league great Alex Murphy.
Fame is also playing a gig at Leigh Sports Village for Leigh Centurions player Steve Maden's testimonial.
Believe Square is a walk of fame established by Wigan Council to honour the achievements of Leigh's citizens.
Fame is the only British star to have had three UK numbers ones from his only three top 10 hits -   Yeh, Yeh in 1964, Get Away in 1966 and The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde in 1967.
He learned to play the piano at the former Leigh Central County Secondary School.
Fame's fame came aged 16 touring with names including Marty Wilde and Eddie Cochran.
He also had hits with his own band Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames.
Over the years he has collaborated with Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Wigan's own The Verve and is a founder member of Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings.


A winding-up petition brought against Southend United has been dismissed after the League One club paid the debt owed to HM Revenue & Customs.

Tax officials had made the application, but the court in London on Monday heard the money had been paid.
The total amount owed to HMRC has not been revealed.
Phil Brown's Shrimpers side are currently seventh in the League One table, and their next game is a trip to Fleetwood on Saturday.


A council has published plans to limit admissions to one of Scotland's most prestigious state schools.

St Ninian's Roman Catholic Secondary in East Renfrewshire is among the best-performing schools in the country.
That has led to increasing numbers of non-Catholic parents applying to send their children there.
The proposed changes could see, for the first time, priority being given to Roman Catholic baptised children in the catchment area.
The local authority said that in future - when there was over-subscription - children not of the Roman Catholic faith would be offered a place in their local non-denominational catchment school instead.
It said the practice of requesting a baptismal certificate was not new in Scotland and would only be used when its schools were oversubscribed.
The consultation, which will launch on Friday and run until 10 October, also proposes giving priority to placing requests made by East Renfrewshire residents as well as those children already at an associated primary.
The council said they had seen "significant increase in demand" for places in schools within the east of the council area, in particular at Our Lady of the Missions, St Cadoc's and St Joseph's primaries as well as at St Ninian's High School.
The local authority now has the highest proportion of 10 - 14-year-olds in the country.
The council's director of education, Mhairi Shaw, said:  "Over recent years the number of East Renfrewshire families choosing a Roman Catholic education for their children has increased by around one fifth and many of these schools are in fact either at or approaching full capacity.
"We have already taken action to address increased demand at our schools by creating additional accommodation, increasing teacher numbers and classes where necessary and are also in the process of investing £77.6m over the next three years to provide even more new and extended education facilities.
"However, despite these significant measures, the rate at which demand is now increasing means these actions will still not provide the capacity needed to meet the appetite for Roman Catholic school places in future years.
"We also know that we have space in our very high-performing non-denominational schools in the council area and as such we must seek to use all available capacity across our full school estate to achieve a fair and equitable solution and best value for the public purse."
If agreed, the changes would apply to new primary and secondary pupils from January 2017.


Caitlyn Jenner's reality TV series I Am Cait has been cancelled by the E! network after two series.

The programme followed the former Olympic athlete after she made the transition to a woman after previously living as Bruce.
The show launched with 2.7 million US viewers last year, but the average audience has now sunk to about 700,000.
E! said that "Caitlyn and E! have mutually decided not to move forward" with another series.
Jenner will continue to appear on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which also features her daughters Kendall and Kylie and step-daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Jenner will appear in the third series of Amazon's Transparent.


Tom Daley and his diving partner, Dan Goodfellow, have won bronze in the synchronised ten-metre platform.

The pair produced a near perfect dive to take the bronze medal in a tense finish.
They were the last team to dive, meaning they knew what they needed to do to overtake Germany, who were sitting in third place.
With a score of over 84 points needed, the British duo waited nervously before leaping into the pool when the score of 89.64 came up.
China's Lin Yue and Chen Aisen, won gold and United States pair David Boudia and Steele Johnson claimed silver.
Daley and Goodfellow's bronze medal brings Team GB's Olympic medal tally to four and puts them 10th overall in the medal table.
There was another bronze for Team GB on day three, in the men's trap shooting for Ed Ling, who's a farmer from Somerset.
"It was third time lucky for me (after Athens 2004 and London 2012) but shooting is a funny sport where sometimes you can go out there and things can go really well and other times you can't hit a barn door," said Ling.
"It is a great sport and I really love it."


Lewis Hamilton said he is going to work hard to understand why he has started losing out to team-mate Nico Rosberg in qualifying.

Rosberg won the Brazilian Grand Prix to take his second victory in a row, following his fifth consecutive pole.
Hamilton began the year with 11 poles in 12 races, seven of which he won.
"Nico drove a fantastic race. Nico has been doing a fantastic job in qualifying. I have to think how things have changed," Hamilton said.
The Briton tied up his third world title two races ago, but since then Rosberg has wrested back the momentum and Hamilton said he felt it may be related to a change to the car Mercedes made at the Singapore Grand Prix in September.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Since Singapore, there have been some changes to our car which seem to have shifted the direction of the ways [the respective fortunes of himself and Rosberg], so I need to figure out why that is and how I can get back on it.
"I have to try and improve in qualifying. Something has shifted in the car, I guess I have been a little bit less comfortable with it.
"I have only just noticed that is the only thing that has changed since things have changed, so maybe I need to go and do some studying and see what I can do to change that."
Hamilton said he would be aiming to sort the problem out before the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi from 27-29 November.
"These next months are going to be really important and going to Abu Dhabi trying to get back on top of that," he said.
"I have not lost any pace. I will be working hard for the next couple of weeks."
Hamilton did not say what the change was, and Mercedes executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe said he did not know what the driver could be referring to.
Hamilton appeared faster than Rosberg during the race at Interlagos but was unable to pass and said he had no problem with Mercedes' refusal to let him try a different strategy.
"I felt really good," he said. "I was pushing like crazy, I had nothing left.
"Unfortunately these tyres run out, don't allow you to race to the end.
"If only you could see the air around us you could see the dirty air and I end up losing the downforce and damaging my tyres even more.
"I was looking for other options but the priority for the team is to get a one-two and do pretty much the same thing."
Hamilton said he would like to have taken a risk and switched strategies but Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff said that at the time Hamilton wanted to do that, it would have compromised his race and put his second place at risk.
Wolff said the team would not change their approach.
"If the driver in the car starts to choose the strategy he is going to lose every single race because it is not an instinct-driven decision," Wolff said.
"Your instinct might be right sometimes but if you do not have the full set of data you are going to get the majority of your races wrong.
"It is sometimes difficult to manage letting the two fight with each other and now you could even say let's take it one step further and also let the strategists fight with each other.
"But this is not where we want to get.
"Controversy within the team is detrimental and we have kept the team together because the team comes first and so, from a fans' standpoint, I can understand, but from a team's stand-point we are not going to change."

Swansea City's goalscorers at Anfield Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente say they expect to stay at the club.

Spain international Llorente scored twice and Icelander Sigurdsson claimed the winner as they beat Liverpool 3-2.
Both have been linked with other clubs, but say they are not looking to move.
"I'm really happy here and I only want to play and score more goals," Llorente commented, while Sigurdsson said he paid no attention to media speculation about his future.
Asked if he would still be at Swansea after the January transfer window, Iceland international Sigurdsson said: "Yeah, unless something unbelievable changes which is not down to me.
"Of course I'm really happy here and I don't want to get relegated so I'll do my best to help the team.
"There's things written in the papers but I don't pay too much attention to it if I'm going or staying. As long as I'm here I'll do my best for the team and that's what I've always tried to do."
Swansea's first ever win at Anfield lifted them out of the Premier League relegation zone, having started the day bottom of the table.
It was the team's first victory since head coach Paul Clement took over on 3 January following the sacking of Bob Bradley.
Llorente has scored eight Premier League goals since joining Swansea in the summer of 2016 - with seven of those coming in his past 11 appearances.
He had been linked with league leaders Chelsea, having played under Blues boss Antonio Conte at Juventus.
Sigurdsson has contributed seven goals from midfield this season and has previously been linked with Everton, though it is not thought the Toffees are bidding for him in the current transfer window.
"At the moment I'm just here to do my job and that's to help the team to win games, and that's all I've been doing for the last few months," added Sigurdsson.


Australia's world number one Jason Day took a share of the lead with an eight-under-par 64 in a fog-hit second round at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Two-time major winner Jordan Spieth set the target on 10 under par with a 65 before play was suspended because of the weather.
He was later joined by Day and fellow American Derek Fathauer.
They are four clear of a group on six under, including US Ryder Cup golfer Patrick Reed.
The competition is being played on three courses - Spyglass Hill, Pebble Beach and Monterey Peninsula.

But did it ever go away? As far back as April 1980, Bristol's environmental health officers were using noise monitoring equipment to try to track down the source.
More than 100 complaints had been made - one inspector told BBC Points West, in this archive footage from April 1980.


Donald Trump was celebrating his latest victories in his bid to become US president - but for once he did not steal all of the limelight.

Former rival Chris Christie grabbed the attention of social media users who mocked his expression during Mr Trump's speech in Florida hailing the Super Tuesday results.
The New Jersey governor endorsed Mr Trump last week, after his own campaign for the Republican nomination failed.
As he stood behind his party's frontrunner, his face led some commentators to suggest he was reflecting on making a serious mistake.
Many observers likened Christie to a hostage reading a ransom note, causing #FreeChrisChristie to trend on Twitter.
Others used the lyrics to the song The Sound Of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel to mock Mr Christie's expression.
Media reports seized on the memes, with Alexandra Petri writing a homage to what she called his "wordless screaming" in the Washington Post.
"His were the eyes of a man who has gazed into the abyss, and the abyss gazed back, and then he endorsed the abyss," she said.
Whether or not Mr Christie himself believed he was in trouble on the stage in Florida, his endorsement of Mr Trump has landed him in hot water back in New Jersey.
'Utter disgrace'
Six newspapers released a joint editorial on Tuesday accusing him of neglecting his constituents and demanding he step down as governor.
They said he was out of New Jersey for all or part of 261 days in 2015, with the state paying some of the bill. They did not hold back in their criticism.
"What an embarrassment. What an utter disgrace," the editorial said.
"We're fed up with Gov Chris Christie's arrogance. We're fed up with his opportunism.
"We're fed up with his hypocrisy. We're fed up with his sarcasm."
It comes days after Hewlett-Packard chief executive Meg Whitman, a major contributor to Mr Christie's ill-fated campaign, called his endorsement of Donald Trump "an astonishing display of political opportunism".
Some commentators have suggested Mr Christie hopes to secure a top political appointment by supporting the billionaire.
Speaking on stage in Florida on Tuesday night, Mr Christie said Mr Trump had "shown himself to be tough and strong and bold".
"Tonight is the beginning of Donald Trump bringing the people of our nation together to help America win again," he said.
How much Mr Christie gains from the surprise endorsement remains to be seen.


Asian markets have rebounded after the US Federal Reserve said it would keep interest rates on hold and Wall Street had its best day in two years.

The decision by the US central bank to keep rates at current levels until at least 2013 helped stem one of the biggest sell-offs in recent years.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 1%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 2.7% but South Korea's Kospi rose just 0.3%.
Analysts say markets will remain choppy amid global growth fears.
They said that many investors were still concerned about global growth and the fact that the Fed did not announce any new measures to boost expansion, such as an economic stimulus package.
"A lot of traders will be disappointed that the Fed did not go any further," Robin Bew of the Economist Intelligence Group told the BBC's Asia Business Report.

Peston: America's five-year downturn
One of the key reasons behind the massive sell-off over the past few days has been the fear that the US, the world's biggest economy may be falling into recession.
In tandem with its rates decision on Tuesday, the Fed also warned that US growth this year had been "considerably slower" than it had expected.
Kelvin Tay of UBS Bank told the BBC that markets had only reacted to the positive side of the Fed's announcement; the fact that rates would stay on hold.
"Markets were oversold and they were looking for a reason to rebound," he explained. "When the dust settles, people are going to focus on economic issues again."
"Consumption in the US is going to be impacted and that is bad news for the export-dependent economies of Asia."
The fears about the state of the global economy were fanned last week by Standard & Poor's decision to cut the US's credit rating from triple A to AA+ for the first time.
On top of this, the ongoing debt issues in Europe have prompted many analysts to revisit their own estimates for both economic and corporate profit growth.
"The immediate nervousness triggered by the downgrade... that is dissipating," said Mr Bew of the Economist Intelligence Group.
"But long-term worry, that the US and Europe have some serious issues and really don't seem to have a policy answer to them, still remains," he added.
This view was echoed by Hans Goetti of Finaport Investment Intelligence.
"The US is most likely going into a recession and we are likely to see a downgrade in corporate profits," Mr Goetti said.
"The markets usually react to earnings downgrades, so this rally could be short-lived."
Despite the concerns, trading on Wednesday provided markets with a respite from the recent selling spree.
Australia's ASX index rose 2.6%, Shanghai's Composite Index was up 0.9%.
In India, the Sensex gained 1.6%.
The gains came after markets in Europe and the US gained on Tuesday. The UK's FTSE 100 index ended up 1.9%, while France's Cac added 1.6%. The main US share index, the Dow Jones, closed up 4%.
"It's possible the bottom has been met but it is too early to say so," said Albert Hung of Alleron Investment Management.
"You never know what more bad news may be coming around the corner."


Furious families are expected to demand the resignation of an NHS chief executive at a public meeting later.

Southern Health NHS Trust is holding an emergency board meeting after being severely criticised in an official inquiry last month.
A report published by NHS England found it had failed to investigate hundreds of deaths over a four-year period.
The trust has apologised for previous failings and said its systems have since improved.
Southern Health covers Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and provides services to about 45,000 people.
But its critics have blamed a lack of leadership and demands have grown for the chief executive Katrina Percy to resign.
Last month Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt described the trust's failings as "totally and utterly unacceptable".
Several families will attend the meeting to confront Ms Percy and the rest of the board.
They are led by Sara Ryan, the mother of Connor Sparrowhawk, an 18-year-old with learning disabilities who drowned in a bath in Oxford in 2013 while under the care of Southern Health.
They want the leadership of the trust to resign or be sacked by regulators.
The official inquiry covered a period from April 2011 to June 2015.
It found that many deaths were not investigated, and the quality of the investigations that were carried out were described as poor and much delayed.
The trust was said to have missed opportunities to learn from deaths and to have suffered from a lack of transparency.
BBC News has learned that a former director at the trust has a role at NHS England looking after patient safety.
Dr Martyn Diaper was medical director (quality) at the trust for a year from July 2014.
During the same time, he held two posts at NHS England - head of patient safety (primary care) and chairman of national patient safety expert group for primary care. He retains both posts.
NHS England said it continued to have confidence in Dr Diaper and said his actions had improved systems at the trust, which was recognised in the official report.
In a statement to BBC News, Dr Diaper said: "As a result of my efforts, rapid and significant improvements were made in the way the trust looked at failures in care."


The skulls of two teenage brothers have been taken from a grave as part of a feud between travelling families, police say.

The grave, in County Durham, was the final resting place of Levi George Price, 16, who died in 2001 and Gareth Price, also 16, who died in 2005.
Officers were called to the cemetery on Bridge Street in Metal Bridge near Ferryhill at 11:45 GMT on Saturday.
Police described the thefts as "sickening".
They added the crime "could be linked" to two recent incidents in Darlington in which vehicles appeared to have been deliberately driven into houses.
A stolen lorry was reversed into the bay window of a semi-detached property last week - days after a stolen horsebox smashed into a home on the outskirts of the town.
Police have previously said the two incidents with the vehicles could have been linked to an earlier petrol bomb attack.
Det Supt Adrian Green said: "This has taken things too far. It is depraved and goes against the religious and cultural beliefs of decent people.
"What I'd like to say to the community is this feud has to stop and we need anyone with information about this incident or the wider feud to contact us.
"The incidents to date have been targeted and do not involve the wider community directly."
It is believed the damage took place overnight on Friday.
Gareth Price was found hanging at Lancaster Farms Young Offenders' Institution in January 2005, the day before he was to be sentenced for rape.
He was taken to hospital but died the next day. His death was partly due to failures by agencies, an inquest jury said.
He had pleaded guilty to attacking a girl in the Formby area of Liverpool.
Levi Price also hanged himself, in the garden of the family home in Ferryhill, in 2001.


A coroner has raised concerns with a football club after a player died after sliding into its clubhouse while making a tackle.

Ben Hiscox, 30, was playing for Stoke Gifford Utd in March when he hit the building, near Bristol.
He was rushed to hospital but died days later.
Recording a verdict of accidental death, Deputy Avon Coroner Terence Moore described it as a tragedy which should not be repeated.
The inquest heard that Mr Hiscox, from Stoke Gifford, was a "much loved son, brother, partner and step-father".
He was playing at his club's home ground against Mangotsfield Sports in the Bristol and Suburban Association Football League on 28 March when, 10 minutes into the second half, he made a tackle, stumbled and fell backwards into the club house, banging his head, causing serious injuries.
Although no-one was blamed for Mr Hiscox's death, Mr Moore said he would write to the FA, Stoke Gifford United and the parish council, which owns the ground, about the size of the "run-off" around the pitch.
The clubhouse was about two metres from the edge of the pitch - the FA recommends a minimum of three metres for lower league clubs.
Mr Hiscox's father Clive said his son's death had been "an awful freak accident".
He added: "My main concern really is seeing where the actual pitch is sited and the clubhouse. I would just hate anybody to have to experience the pain and suffering we have since Ben's death."
A spokesman for the club, Ben Bennett, who was also a friend of Mr Hiscox, said they would make changes, possibly using crash mats, to avoid a repeat of the accident.


More than £30m is to be spent turning the former home of the Bishop of Durham into a centre re-telling the history of Christianity in the North East.

Millionaire businessman Jonathan Ruffer has already paid £15m to save a collection of 17th Century Spanish paintings at Auckland Castle.
He now plans to spend a further £18m on revamping the Bishop Auckland castle as a tourist attraction.
Full details of the ambitious plans are due to be unveiled in April.
In March last year, the North Yorkshire-born investment banker created a £15m charity to save 12 works by Spanish artist Francisco Zurbaran, which were due to be sold by the Church of England to raise cash.
The deal almost fell through when Church Commissioners imposed planning conditions on the acquisition of the castle.
They were withdrawn when Mr Ruffer threatened to pull the plug on the cash.
Mr Ruffer said: "It will cost about £9m to scrub the castle up and it will probably need the same again to keep the show on the road.
"Ideally a couple of things will happen pretty quickly, but my guess is that it'll take a couple of years at least to get the thing finished.
"The purpose at the centre of it all will be to tell the story of Christianity in the North East and the story of Auckland Castle itself.
"Lots of people get off the train at Durham City, have a look around, wander around the cathedral, have a Big Mac and then clamber back on the train and go to Edinburgh and do the same again.
"I want to draw people into the area with the castle as a focus."
Mr Ruffer said he was in talks with the British Museum, British Library and other major institutions, about hosting exhibitions at Auckland Castle.


The UK economy looks to be on course for "steady but sluggish" growth in the third quarter, surveys indicate.

But service sector firms' prospects indicate a stalling or contracting economy in the longer term, research firm IHS Markit said.
This could be due to heightened uncertainty about the economic outlook and Brexit process, it said.
Firms also face a "relentless burden of inflationary cost pressures" after the Brexit vote-related fall in the pound.
"While the current picture remained one of an economy showing overall resilience in the face of concerns about the outlook, the subdued level of business optimism suggests it's likely that growth will at least remain modest and could easily weaken in coming months," said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit.
The IHS Markit/CIPS services Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 53.8 in July from June's four-month low of 53.4. A figure above 50 indicates expansion.
While manufacturing exporters have gained from the fall in the pound since last year's Brexit vote, Thursday's survey indicated consumer-facing businesses are being hit by a reduction in demand due to stretched household budgets.
The service sector in the UK, which accounts for about 80% of the economy, had subdued output growth as the amount of new work failed to match levels seen earlier in the year, IHS Markit said.
However, the lacklustre performance did not stop employers from taking on more staff, with job creation seeing its strongest growth for a year-and-a-half.
Justin Zatouroff, head of business services at KPMG UK, said: "Despite input price inflation and difficulties in finding staff with the right skills affecting the wider performance of the UK economy, the services sector continues to employ more people and see continued growth in revenue.
"However, the ongoing political and economic uncertainty continues to erode confidence in the future performance of the sector."


Patients at Kingston Hospital, in south-west London, used to say the food was a major disappointment.

When patients were asked for feedback, the poor quality of hospital meals was mentioned more often than anything else.
So Duncan Burton decided to do something about it - starting with the breakfasts.
Out went the limp bread and plain cereals and in came scrambled eggs, toast, porridge and fruit during the week, with sausages and bacon on offer at the weekends.
Despite the challenges of providing toasters around the hospital and not setting off fire alarms during the toasting process, he knew the extra hassle would be worth it.
"You can't have breakfast without toast," he says. "It's more reflective of what people have in their own home."
Mr Burton, who is director of nursing and patient experience at the acute hospital, where there are about 520 beds, knew that good nutrition and appetising food was fundamental to patients' healing and recovery.
He also knew it had an impact on general wellbeing.
With a high proportion of elderly in-patients, including many with dementia, Duncan and his team started reworking the menu with them in mind.
They were helped in their task by dieticians, caterers and patients themselves - but perhaps the most useful input came from hospital volunteers who sit with patients and help feed them.
They suggested finger food for those who wanted to eat only small amounts and for dementia patients because it was easier for them to eat.
So instead of being faced with an off-putting plate of non-descript meat, veg and mash, they are now given small bite-sized items such as small sandwiches, grapes, cucumber sticks and quiche slices.
That way, patients can eat a little and often, grazing throughout the day.
Rather than being offered an orange or an apple, which can be awkward to get into, they are given apple slices or a soft satsuma.
There are also new light meal options including homemade soups, omelettes, sandwiches and salads.
And there's a recognition that patients may not want to eat only healthy food.
"You're not going to change people's eating habits when they are not feeling well," Mr Burton says.
"If you can get them to eat a piece of cake, then fine... at least it is some nutrition."
And the introduction of freshly baked cakes served to patients in the afternoon has been a triumph, particularly when the aroma reaches patients before the cakes do.
As well as finger food, Kingston Hospital has brought in food packs for people who are discharged and live on their own.
These packs contain milk, bread, butter and tea-bags - the basics that can help vulnerable and elderly people through the first day or so back at home.
In maternity wards, a plate of hot food is on offer 24 hours a day "because babies arrive at all times of the day and night".
The menu for children was revamped too, with the help of local school children and paediatric patients.
Children are now offered a finger box of crackers, cheese, fruit, sandwiches, cucumber sticks and biscuits or a hot meal option from a choice of meatballs, tuna pasta bake, fish fingers and vegetable curry.
There are still challenges however - providing more healthy food for more than 3,000 staff and contractors who work at the hospital is next on the list.
The menu changes, which were first discussed in 2014, were achieved without any extra funding for food, but the meals are brought in and "regenerated" on site rather than being cooked freshly in hospital kitchens.
And that's down to space - or the lack of it, Duncan Burton says.
"Some trusts do have that space, but it's not something we can do.
"Instead, catering staff are on site and are able to heat food up and serve it. Some fresh food is still made on site."
Kingston is not the only hospital in that position.
In a recent report from the Campaign for Better Hospital Food, which surveyed 30 London hospitals, only 30% cooked all food freshly on site.
The campaign group also said half of hospitals surveyed were failing to meet basic food standards set down by the NHS.
But in this south-west London hospital, patient feedback shows little criticism of the food any more and there is evidence of a reduction in patients with pressure sores and ulcers - a sign that they are eating better and recovering more quickly.


Seventeen people have been arrested by police hunting an armed gang who robbed Kim Kardashian West in Paris in October, reports say.

The suspects, said to be mainly in their fifties and known to police, were detained in co-ordinated raids in the Paris region and elsewhere.
The American reality TV star was held at gunpoint by men dressed as police officers.
They escaped with an estimated €10m (£8.7m; $10.5m) in jewellery.
Police said at the time a €4m ring and a jewellery box with pieces worth some €6m were taken. A diamond cross pendant was found the next day in a nearby street, apparently dropped by the gang as they made their getaway by bicycle and on foot.
Five men took part in the attack. Three held up the night porter while the other two entered Kardashian West's luxury apartment, tied her up and locked her in the bathroom.
French police said that traces of DNA had led to the arrests which had been left at the scene on the material used to tie up the TV star as well as the pendant dropped by the gang.
The police organised crime brigade (BRB) carried out dawn raids on Monday in the Paris area, in Rouen in the north and in Nice in the south. Those detained ranged in age from 23 to 73, French media said, and investigators now have 96 hours to question them.
"One of the DNA samples matched an individual known to police for robbery and criminal offences," police said.
Following the discovery, a team of six BRB detectives tapped the phones of suspects and even tracked a meeting involving a member of the gang and potential buyers of Kardashian West's jewels.
Kardashian West, who is married to the rapper Kanye West, said she feared she was going to be killed at the time. She was left badly shaken but unhurt.
"They're going to shoot me in the back," she is heard telling her sisters in a promotional clip for the new season of the US show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
The 36-year-old mother-of-two, who became a household name thanks to the reality TV series, was attending Paris Fashion Week at the time of the robbery, along with her mother Kris Jenner and her sister Kendall Jenner.
However, there was criticism of the security detail surrounding the star, when it emerged that a bodyguard decided to accompany Kardashian West's sister to a nightclub rather than keep watch on her.
Kanye West was performing at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York when the robbery happened on 3 October. He abruptly ended his set, telling fans: "I'm sorry, family emergency. I have to stop the show."
The robbery came as a high-profile embarrassment for a Paris police force that has seen a string of armed thefts in recent years.


Plans for a new wave of selective schools in England have come under fire from former Tory Education Secretary Nicky Morgan and many educationalists.

Mrs Morgan said Theresa May's plans to lift the ban on new selective schools, including grammars, risked undermining six years of education reform.
All schools are to be given the right to apply to select pupils by ability under the plans.
Mrs May says the overhaul is motivated by a commitment to social mobility.
But Mrs Morgan said it was "at best a distraction from crucial reforms to raise standards and narrow the attainment gap and at worst risk actively undermining six years of progressive education reform".
The prime minister's plans suggest schools becoming selective and new and expanding grammars will take quotas of poor pupils or help run other schools.
Mrs May argued the ban on new selective schools has been in place too long and has held many pupils back.
Ofsted's chief inspector of schools, Sir Michael Wilshaw, said the idea that poor children would benefit from a return of grammar schools was "tosh" and "nonsense".
He told the BBC: "My fear is by moving to a grammar and secondary modern system - because, let's face it, that's what we'll have if you divide at 11 - we will put the clock back, and the progress we have made over the past 10 to 15 years will slow."
Ben Wright, BBC political correspondent
For two decades the grammar school question seemed settled.
Academic selection was allowed to continue in some parts of England but there would be no new grammar schools built.
For Labour, opposition to schools they see as divisive and unfair goes back to the 1960s. In contrast, the Conservative Party has wrestled with the issue for years.
For many Tory politicians and activists, grammar schools are ladders of aspiration and pillars of belief - springboards for sending bright children from modest means into the professions.
But while leaders like John Major promised to revive grammar schools, none did - and David Cameron was dismissive of the idea that they could fuel social mobility.
So why the sudden change?
First, Theresa May is clear she's not talking about a return to the 11-plus and secondary moderns.
Second, the profile of the government has changed - 20 members of the new cabinet went to state schools and half a dozen of those were grammars.
Mrs May's influential chief of staff Nick Timothy is from a working-class background and attended a Birmingham grammar school.
These are people who can talk about meritocracy in a way Mr Cameron could not, strivers who made it - and that is shaping their politics.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said his party would block the proposals at every stage of their passage in the Commons.
"Fundamentally, it's the same as the old 11-plus system, in that it is dividing children on the basis of their perceived ability at the age of 11.
"I don't think that's a good message for our children."
He added that comprehensive schools "help social mobility, help children develop at their own pace and bring communities together".
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron predicted the "out-of-date, ineffective approach" would be defeated in the House of Lords.
In a major speech, the prime minister said an arbitrary rule preventing selective schools from being established had been tolerated for too long.
"The truth is that we already have selection in our school system - and it's selection by house price, selection by wealth. That is simply unfair.
"We are effectively saying to poorer and some of the most disadvantaged children in our country that they can't have the kind of education their richer counterparts can enjoy."
She said schools should be able to select on the basis of ability, adding that many already selected on the basis of disciplines like music and sport.
"So I want to relax the restrictions to stop selective schools from expanding, that deny parents the right to have a new selective school opened where they want one, that stop existing non-selective schools to become selective in the right circumstances and where there is demand."
But Mrs May said the government would use the approvals process to prevent new areas of the country having a limited "binary" choice or schools.
She also said: "People get lost in the argument about whether the grammar schools of the 1950s and 60s improved social mobility or not. But I want to focus on the new grammars of the future: those that will be just one element of a truly diverse system."
The plans will also include the ability for bright children to join grammar schools, not just at 11, but at 14 and 16 as well.
The speech announced an end to the current ban on opening new grammars introduced by Labour in 1998.  It is thought that an Act of Parliament would be needed for the ban to be lifted on new selective schools opening, but a change in the law may not be required for grammar schools to expand.
A consultation is to be held on ways to make new selective schools and expanding grammars more inclusive so that places are not limited to families who can "pay for tuition to pass the test".
Education Secretary Justine Greening told the BBC the government wanted to create 21st Century grammar schools that would "turbo charge" the education and prospects of disadvantaged children.
There are also plans to make tests for independent schools qualifying for charitable status more rigorous.
Private schools reduce their tax bills through this, and Mrs May said a consultation would be held on how to achieve a greater public benefit in return.
