Actor Charlie Sheen is set to make a "revealing personal announcement" on US TV, amid intense press speculation the 50-year-old star is HIV-positive.

The former star of sitcom Two And A Half Men will appear on NBC's Today show at lunchtime, UK time.
Sheen rose to fame in the 80s with hit films including Platoon and Wall Street and, in 2011, was the highest-paid actor on TV thanks to his sitcom role.
He has frequently struggled with drink and drug abuse.
An announcement on the NBC website said: "In a Today exclusive, Charlie Sheen will make a revealing personal announcement on Tuesday November 17 in a sit-down interview with Matt Lauer."
The announcement is expected to be made around 1230 GMT.
The star, who played a hedonistic bachelor in Two And A Half Men, was fired from the show in 2011 after a downward spiral in his personal life that was often played out in public.
Production had been suspended after he entered rehabilitation for reported drug and alcohol abuse.
The actor - the youngest son of West Wing star Martin Sheen and brother of actor Emilio Estevez - has also had a troubled personal life and has been married three times.
He first marriage was to Donna Peele in 1995 but they split up after a year. His second marriage was to former Bond girl Denise Richards, with whom he has two daughters. They divorced in 2006 and he married Brooke Mueller, with whom he has twin sons.
He was then due to marry adult film star Scottine Ross, but the wedding was called off.


The 2019 Solheim Cup at Gleneagles will be held between 13 and 15 September.

The biennial women's match-play event between Europe and the United States was last held in Scotland in 2000.
"This date will allow the 2019 Solheim Cup to be the highest profile golf event taking place in Europe and the US," said Paul Bush, director of events at Visit Scotland.
"It will also be the highest profile event taking place from a global sports perspective."
The Gleneagles bid was led by Visit Scotland in conjunction with the Scottish government.
Scotland was among 10 countries to submit expressions of interest in the 2019 event and was chosen ahead of Bro Hof Slott in Sweden in the final vote.
The 2017 event will take place at Des Moines in Iowa, United States, between 18 and 20 August.


BBC correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes and his team are being expelled from North Korea after being detained over their reporting.

Our correspondent, producer Maria Byrne and cameraman Matthew Goddard were stopped by officials on Friday as they were about to leave North Korea.
He was questioned for eight hours by North Korean officials and made to sign a statement.
All three were held over the weekend but have now been taken to the airport.
The BBC team was in North Korea ahead of the Workers Party Congress, accompanying a delegation of Nobel prize laureates conducting a research trip.
The North Korean leadership was displeased with their reports highlighting aspects of life in the capital.


An Australian family facing deportation from the UK say they hope to know next week if a job offer will allow them to continue living in Scotland.

Gregg and Kathryn Brain and their son, who live in Dingwall, had until earlier this month to stay in the UK.
Immigration minister Robert Goodwill has urged them to leave the country.
Mrs Brain, who moved with her family to Scotland on her student's visa in 2011, has been offered a job that could meet the requirements of a new visa.
She told BBC Radio Scotland the post met all the relevant criteria and said she was "hopeful and confident" it would allow her and her family to stay in Scotland.
Mrs Brain said paperwork for the job was in the process of being finalised, but added that she would not know until next week at the earliest if she had secured the employment.
After moving to Scotland on Mrs Brain's student visa, the family expected to be able to later move on to a Tier 1 post-study work visa, but the scheme was scrapped in 2012.


The first cancer patients to get proton beam therapy at a UK centre will be treated in Newport by Christmas 2016.

Experts say it should "transform" treatment for 700 patients a year, including children with hard to reach tumours.
A former clinic will be converted and also offer traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Proton Partners International (PPI) set out its plans, saying it will cost the NHS less than sending patients abroad.
Protons can be directed at tumours more precisely than X-rays and they stop once they hit the target rather than carrying on through the body.
It makes operating on children's tumours - and cancers close to sensitive areas like the spinal cord - more exact.
Experts also say it reduces damage to healthy tissue and has fewer side-effects than radiotherapy.
They estimate the treatment will be suitable for about 10% of the 150,000 cancer patients who get radiotherapy in the UK every year.
Oncology specialist Professor Karol Sikora, chief medical adviser to PPI, said proton therapy could "transform treatment" for both NHS and those under private insurance schemes.
He said it might benefit 30% of prostate cancer patients, as well as those with lung cancer. A small number of paediatric patients could also be treated.
The treatment is only available in the UK for rare eye cancers on the Wirral.
The use of proton therapy was highlighted by the case of five-year-old Ashya King, whose parents took him to the Czech Republic for treatment for a brain tumour.
Around 140 patients a year are sent abroad by the NHS - mostly to the US and Switzerland - at a cost of around £114,000 each. That demand is expected to increase significantly and the developers envisage a network of 18 centres eventually.
The project was keen to stress the proposals were not a response to the Ashya case but had been planned for the last three years.
Prof Chris McGuigan, chair of the Life Sciences Hub Wales, said: "It will cost about half what the NHS pays at the moment but more importantly than that, for parents it will mean they won't have to shut up their homes while they fly abroad with their children for treatment."
Centres will also be opened by the end of 2018 in Northumberland and close to Heathrow in west London, with hopes of two more to follow in Liverpool and Birmingham.
The centre on the Celtic Springs Business Park,  in Newport, which is subject to planning permission, will employ about 20 hi-tech people - some recruited from abroad - but it will also become a training hub for the other centres.
The development is possible because the proton technology is getting smaller - and cheaper.
It can be operated with fewer staff, taking up far less space and at £20m, a quarter of the cost. Advanced imaging equipment will also be brought in and computers will help create the models which will help evaluate which patients can best benefit.
The developers estimate it could be worth £87m for the Welsh economy over its first three years.
Life sciences entrepreneur Prof Sir Chris Evans is backing the development and has secured £100m private investment. He said they were "fantastic proposals which will put Wales in the world map."
The NHS in England has invited the project leaders to a meeting next week and the NHS in Wales is said to be "very supportive".
Economy Minister Edwina Hart was at the launch in Cardiff.


Portugal's Euro 2016-winning coach Fernando Santos has signed a new four-year contract.

The 61-year-old guided Portugal to their first European title with an extra-time victory over hosts France in Paris earlier this month.
He has coached Portugal since 2014, having previously spent four years in charge of the Greece national team.
Portugal begin their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign on 6 September against Switzerland in Basel.

A university has asked its 1,400 staff if they want redundancy as it looks to make 50 job cuts to save £2.5m.

Bedfordshire University, which makes about £25m a year from fees from foreign students, says it lost £10m last year due to a two-month freeze on student visas.
The university said it had started a voluntary severance scheme, giving staff up to 20 April to apply to leave.
A union called for the university to find "alternative" savings.
University vice-chancellor and former Labour minister Bill Rammell, who receives a remuneration package of £251,000, said he did not think there would be a need for compulsory redundancies.
"By making planned and sensible reductions, the university aims to continue to drive forward enhancements to facilities, to the benefit of students," said a unversity spokeswoman.
The university has campuses in Luton and Bedford.
A spokesman for the University and College Union (UCU) said: "The University of Bedfordshire needs to continue working with UCU to identify alternative savings and avoid redundancies where possible."


A Bengal cat suffered "horrendous" injuries after being shot with a pellet gun on New Year's Eve, the RSPCA has said.

Jester the cat was found in Flint, Flintshire with his back legs collapsed and when examined, it was discovered they had become paralysed.
He has a pellet near his spine and has been referred for specialist treatment.
RSPCA inspector Kia Thomas said: "It is unthinkable why somebody would look to shoot a cat in this way."
The attack came after reports of another suspected shooting in the Min Awel area of the town in December.
Mr Thomas added: "Poor Jester has suffered a truly terrible ordeal. We just hope his condition improves.
"This sorry incident is another timely reminder as to the shocking damage a pellet gun can do."
Jester's owner, Tina Lane, said: "We are so saddened by this incident, and the damage that has been caused to Jester.
"The local community have been hugely supportive to us and we hope information will come to light to help find out what has happened."
Anyone with information about the attack on Jester or the suspected earlier shooting is asked to contact the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018.


Regional pay in the public sector would be a disaster, says the leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats.

Kirsty Williams spoke out despite comments backing the idea from Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander.
Mr Alexander, a Liberal Democrat, said he was "keen to see local, market-facing pay introduced across the UK".
His comments came in a letter to First Minister Carwyn Jones released under the Freedom of Information Act.
But Ms Williams said: "We are strongly and firmly opposed to the introduction of regional pay in Wales.
"Welsh Liberal Democrats do not believe that regional pay will stimulate the local economy; in fact the introduction of regional pay would be disastrous for Welsh workers and the Welsh economy."
She said Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Business Secretary Vince Cable had spoken out against the idea of regional pay.
"I have been lobbying the UK government to stop the introduction of regional pay and I will continue to put pressure on them so that regional pay is not introduced," said Ms Williams.
All parties in the assembly, including the Welsh Conservatives, have
          expressed concern
 at the idea of differential pay rates around the UK.
In his Budget in March, Chancellor George Osborne said local factors, such as the cost of living and private sector pay rates, should be taken into account in future when awarding salaries.
Mr Clegg said last month that no decision had been made.


Public views on the third Don crossing in Aberdeen are being sought as part of a review of the major transport project.

The £22.3m Diamond Bridge linking Danestone and Tillydrone - aimed at easing congestion - opened in June.
It was supposed to be completed late last year but issues with re-routing underground utilities caused a series of delays.
The review topics include traffic flow and safety.
People living at either end of the crossing are being asked to contact their local community councils if they want issues raised.
A worker died in an accident on the site in January.


Forget the dizzying list of stats - the millions, billions and percentages - for just a moment.

Forget those clever folk at the Institute of Fiscal Studies.
Forget the claims and counter-claims that "we've spelt out our plans" and the it's the other lot whose "numbers simply don't add up".
Focus instead on what has so been missing from this election campaign so far. That is the scale of the choice the electorate are facing. A choice that has been masked by deliberate evasiveness and obfuscation on all sides, by vague ambitions dressed up to sound hard and specific and, above all, by the political cross-dressing of the two big parties.
First Labour tried to convince voters that the deficit, which Ed Miliband had forgotten to mention in his Party Conference speech, was in truth the first thing on his mind at all times.
Then the Conservatives, who have endlessly warned about the risks of unfunded tax and spending promises, splashed the cash on pledges to fund the NHS, an inheritance tax cut, more childcare places and more besides.
So, what is the reality of the choice between the big parties? What the IFS spelt out today is what you'd pretty much expect.
The Tories plan to cut public spending substantially more than Labour and, say the IFS, would as a result have to make substantial cuts or tax rises neither of which they've spelt out.
On the other hand, the institute concluded, the country would be rewarded with lower debt - around Â£90bn at today's prices - lower debt interest payments and greater protection from future crises.
The IFS say Labour could make "only relatively small cuts" but they criticise the party for being unspecific about how quickly they want to cut the deficit and, therefore, spending too. The language has been significantly toughened during the election but their policies have not.
They allow Ed Balls to choose between making some pretty eye watering cuts or not many at all. I think you can assume that he and Ed Miliband would prefer, if at all possible, to deliver the latter.
The Lib Dems are - and, again, there's no surprise here - somewhere in the middle. Tighter on borrowing and spending than Labour but not as tight as the Tories.
So far so simple. So far so unsurprising. So far, though, a pretty big choice for voters who often complain that all parties are the same.
For those with the appetite for a little more detailâ€¦
How big would Tory spending cuts be? If they could cut welfare as much as they promise - and they've not told us how they'd do that - and if they could cut tax avoidance on the scale they want - a promise all parties have made and none can be sure of delivering - what would that mean for spending in so-called unprotected areas ie not the NHS, schools and international aid?
These would need to be cut at a "slightly slower rate of cuts than over the previous parliament" taking departmental spending "to its lowest level in real terms since 2003-04" says the IFS. The Tories will delight in pointing out that this is hardly the 1930s let alone the road to Wigan Pier. They will say they've done it before with less fuss than most people expected so they should be trusted to do it again.
And yet and yet. The "age of austerity" would see total cuts to 'unprotected' areas including defence, transport, law and order and social care of around a third of their budgets. These are huge sums with unspecified consequences.
What's more the big ticket savings the Tories pushed in this parliament have either been done and can't be done again - e.g. raising the age of retirement - or will be hard to repeat- such as public sector pay restraint and increasing benefits less than the rate of inflation.
If they can't get the welfare or tax avoidance savings they want or if the economy slows and tax revenues decrease all this could get harder to deliver.
What about Labour? If they interpret their policy loosely they'll easily be able to find the extra cash for the NHS they've so far steadfastly refused to promise as much as NHS England say is needed - and some of the other things they are sure to be lobbied hard for. Why don't they make those promises now? Well, they assume that voters will assume that Labour would love to spend more which is why they're trying so hard to sound "prudent" - to use Gordon Brown's favourite word.
Ed Miliband and Ed Balls believe that the right spending policies can increase the rate of economic growth, which is a better and painless way to cut the deficit. However, if they're wrong then the deficit and debt will stay higher for longer. If external events - another Eurozone crisis - came along then they, just like the Tories, would find their optimistic projections having to be torn up.
So, in conclusion, there's an awful lot the parties are not telling us which people like me should continue to demand they do. Don't hold your breath for answers but don't despair.
Push aside the rhetoric and the evasions and the cross-dressing and the differences aren't hard to see.
What seems to be proving harder for the larger than usual number of undecided voters is deciding which to choose.
No institute can tell you the answer. No number cruncher. No statistic. You have to make a judgement based on whose values you share and who you trust. Good luck with that.


Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has called for a change to the congested festive fixture list.

United manager Louis van Gaal said his team "struggled" during Sunday's goalless draw at Tottenham, which began just 43 hours after their 3-1 Boxing Day win over Newcastle.
England captain Rooney, 29, agreed the demands of the schedule had led to a decline in quality.
"Hopefully in the future it has to change," he said.
Rooney also suggested that fatigue may lead to a player being seriously injured.
On playing twice in three days between Boxing Day and Sunday, Rooney said: "It will probably take someone getting a really bad injury from doing it, which no-one wants to see, but it is very demanding and I think it does need looking at."
United had the better of the first half at White Hart Lane, with Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris making a series of saves to deny Robin van Persie, Rooney and Ashley Young, but Van Gaal's side faded noticeably in the second period.
"It is difficult. We started so well in the first half, but in the second half it was tough," Rooney said. "You do lose a lot of the quality from both teams."
Van Gaal described the congested Christmas schedule as "the culture of England", but said after Sunday's draw in north London that it did not allow players enough rest.


Plans for a multi-million pound attraction to celebrate Aberdeen's connection with granite face being thrown out.

Developers want to build a heritage centre at Rubislaw Quarry.
The majority of stone used for buildings in the city was extracted from the quarry.
But a planning official said they were likely to recommend the application be refused because dozens of trees would have to be removed.
Those behind the proposals have been asked to consider a city centre site for the attraction because there has been no detailed justification for why it must be located at the quarry.
Rubislaw Quarry, one of Europe's largest man-made holes, closed in 1971.
It is often credited with giving Aberdeen its Granite City name.


The Scottish government is to introduce a bill to raise the age of criminal responsibility to 12.

Children as young as eight can have a criminal record in Scotland, albeit via the decisions of children's hearings rather than the courts.
The government held a consultation earlier in the year after an advisory panel backed raising the limit to 12.
Early Years Minister Mark McDonald told MSPs the case for change was "clear and compelling".
He said it had been backed by the United Nations, police, prosecutors, victims' groups and young people, adding: "This is emphatically the right time and the right approach to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility."
The current age of criminal responsibility, when a child is considered capable of committing a crime and old enough to stand trial and be convicted of an offence, is currently set at 10 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
In Scotland, while children cannot formally be prosecuted in a court until they are 12, from the age of eight they can go before a children's hearing and have these judgements added to their criminal record.
In 2015, Lib Dem MSP Alison McInnes put forward amendments aimed at making the same change to a criminal justice bill in the previous Holyrood session, but saw them voted down at committee level.
Mr McDonald said he wanted to put on the record his thanks to Ms McInnes for pressing the issue.
The Scottish government set up an advisory group on the subject that same year, which came back with a report recommending the age of responsibility be raised to 12.
A consultation was subsequently held between March and June 2016, with the Scottish government saying it would "inform a decision by ministers".
Leading QC Derek Ogg told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that it was important to take into account the background of a child when considering prosecution.
He said: "The thing that we've got to remember in all of this is that a child who offends is himself a victim.
"That's a child that we're talking about who's been let down. It may be parenting, it may be mental health services, it may be social services.
"The vast majority of children - and I'm talking about children until 16 - the vast majority of children who come into contact with criminal authorities and criminal courts are from profoundly abusive backgrounds, whether it's sexual abuse, criminal abuse or poverty.
"So we have to bear in mind that we are dealing with very vulnerable children when they come into contact with the criminal justice system."
Tory MSP Douglas Ross said the change was backed by "the vast majority of experts", although he questioned how the Scottish government would build and sustain public confidence in the change. Mr McDonald replied that there would be engagement through the course of stand-alone legislation being passed.
Scottish Labour backed the change, with Claire Baker saying a "strong and persuasive argument" had been made by a range of groups.
The Scottish Greens also supported the move, with John Finnie saying bringing Scottish policy into line with the UN Declaration on the Rights of the Child was "very welcome".
And Lib Dem MSP Liam McArthur called it a "national embarrassment" that eight-year-olds are currently treated as criminals rather than children.
The Scottish Youth Parliament said the change was an "important step" that would "help ensure that Scotland is a fair place for children, and shift focus to supporting children instead of criminalising them".


Gunmen in the Afghan capital Kabul have attacked a guesthouse, killing a German woman and beheading an Afghan guard.

The attackers stormed a guesthouse run by a Swedish NGO, Operation Mercy, at about 23:30 (19:00 GMT) on Saturday, the Afghan interior ministry said.
A second woman, from Finland, is missing and has possibly been kidnapped, the ministry said.
In a separate attack, Taliban militants killed 20 police officers at checkpoints in southern Afghanistan.
At least 10 others were injured in the ambushes in Zabul province on Saturday, a provincial spokesman said.
Confirming the guesthouse attack, interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish said all those staying there were employees of Operation Mercy.
The relief and development organisation, based in Orebro in Sweden, has not yet commented.
Afghanistan is in the grip of an ongoing insurgency by the Taliban Islamist militant group, and several foreigners have been kidnapped by the group in recent years.
The British government warns there is "a very high and constant threat" to Westerners of kidnapping in Afghanistan, with about 100 people kidnapped since 2001.
But the threat of kidnap is far higher among Afghans, with the country's Chamber of Commerce and Industries reporting that at least 80 businessmen were snatched in 2016 alone.


Volunteers are being sought to survey 120 woods in Northern Ireland for a protected mammal.

They are being asked to help gather information about red squirrels.
Experts claim that, without intervention, the animals could be extinct with 35 years.
Grey squirrels out-perform reds for food and carry a disease that can kill them. They have spread rapidly since their introduction a century ago.
The volunteers will be trained to monitor feeders and set up camera traps to record sightings as part of a conservation programme.
And they will be asked to report greys in areas which are currently strongholds for reds.
Workshops are being organised by Ulster Wildlife in March to train the volunteers.
The data gathered will contribute to the work of Red Squirrels United, a UK-wide network set up to protect the endangered species.
Conor McKinney from Ulster Wildlife is leading the project in Northern Ireland.
He said numbers of red squirrels had "declined dramatically" since greys were introduced to Ireland in 1911.
"To ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy these special animals, we need volunteers to help us monitor squirrels in their local area, so we can target our conservation efforts," he said.
Reds are currently found in the Mournes, south and west Tyrone, parts of County Londonderry, the Glens of Antrim and Fermanagh.
Experts believe there are only about 140,000 red squirrels left in the UK.
The project is being supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.


South Africa's sports minister has banned four of the country's sport federations from bidding for major international tournaments after they failed to create enough opportunities for black players.

Rugby, cricket, athletics and netball are the affected federations.
The South African Rugby Union had said it would bid for the 2023 Rugby World Cup by the time of the June deadline.
But minister Fikile Mbalula says the ban is in place for at least a year.
The South African government has long encouraged the country's main sport, rugby union, to create more opportunities for black players.
The country's five major sports federations agreed on various transformation targets with the government in 2014, but football was the only one to meet its target.
"I have therefore resolved to revoke the privilege of Athletics South Africa, Cricket South Africa, Netball South Africa and South African rugby to host and bid for major and mega international tournaments," Mbalula said in a statement.
The ban comes into effect immediately and Mbalula said the decision will be reviewed after he has received the results of the federations' transformation efforts for 2016-17, which could be as late as 2018.
Both the rugby and cricket federations said their officials would go into closed-door meetings with sports ministry officials after the announcement.
Athletics South Africa said it would need to study the "pronouncement'' made by Mbalula before commenting.
The ban will not affect the 2022 Commonwealth Games, which has already been awarded to Durban as the bid was led by the South African Olympic committee.
BBC Africa's Pumza Fihlani, in Johannesburg: Transformation in sport is a thorny issue here. South Africa's sporting codes are often criticised for being "too white", more than 20 years after the end of white minority rule.
But the minister's announcement is likely to be met with fierce criticism by some in sport's circles who argue that players should be selected on merit instead of colour.
Those who support the quota system - one of the measures introduced by Nelson Mandela's government to make sport more racially inclusive - say black players would never be fielded if federations were not forced to.
The honeymoon period is over here and South Africans are beginning to ask uncomfortable questions about the veracity of the "rainbow nation" concept.
Some say only once racism is addressed, across all sectors including sport, can the country look at doing away with affirmative action policies - and in the case of sport, leave it to the players to prove themselves on the field.


A school has banned chocolate for pupils and teachers because of one boy's allergy.

Alltwen Primary School in Pontardawe, Neath Port Talbot, has even barred the treat from the staff room.
Head teacher Owain Hyett wrote to parents saying the snack could make the pupil "very ill".
He said: "To maintain the safety of this pupil our school will be adopting a no chocolate policy for all pupils and staff."
The school has declined to comment.
Mr Hyett's letter added: "Unfortunately, one of our pupils has been diagnosed with a chocolate intolerance and can become very ill if in contact with chocolate.
"All areas of the school will be chocolate-free, including the staff room and office.
"Sadly the pupil is also highly sensitive to chocolate if it is airborne or being eaten by another pupil."


Midfielder Nicky Deverdics has joined League Two side Hartlepool United on a free transfer after turning down a new deal with Dover Athletic.

The 28-year old scored 16 goals last season and captained Dover to the National League play-off semi-finals.
"He's the best player in the National League in a lot of people's eyes," Hartlepool boss Craig Hignett said.
"There were a few clubs in for him but we managed to convince him that this is the place for him."
Newcastle-born Deverdics began his career as a trainee at Newcastle United before moving on to play for Gateshead, Bedlington Terriers and Gretna amongst others, including spells in Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Deverdics made 94 appearances for Dover after joining in May 2013.
"Every time we've seen him play, he's been excellent and so have all the reports we have had on him," continued ex-Middlesbrough assistant Hignett.
"He's got a great left foot, is very creative and he can make goals as well as score them."

Twenty Labour candidates are busy trying to get elected, and they're all going to need some cash.

Once you tot up those vying to be leader, deputy leader, London mayoral candidate, Scottish leader and Scottish deputy - there are a lot of hopefuls.
Who will pay for their offices, spokespeople and campaigns?
In the 2010 leadership fight David Miliband raised more than £300,000. But key funders last time may not spend a penny this year.
David Sainsbury gave David Miliband £138,000 in 2010. This time round his wallet - I'm told - will stay shut. As Chancellor of Cambridge University and chair of the board of the Institute for Government he's keeping out of the fight. That's despite giving over £100,000 in a single month this year to a campaigning organisation set up by David Miliband (Movement for Change) and the New Labour group Progress, whose vice chair is leadership contender Liz Kendall.
Unite - which gave Ed Miliband £100,000 in 2010 - will choose who to back within a week, following a hustings event. They say the decision will not be made by general secretary Len McCluskey alone, but by a 60-strong committee. Sources at another big union - Unison - say they may well decide not to back any candidate. Unlike last time, unions won't have a one third say in choosing the leader.
So the candidates may have to rely on big Labour donors. One - John Mills (pictured) - confirms he has been approached, and is still making up his mind whether to support Andy Burnham, Liz Kendall or Yvette Cooper for the leadership. London mayoral hopeful Tessa Jowell is likely to get his backing though; she's his sister-in-law.
Some candidates have already announced declarations. JK Rowling gave Tom Watson £4,000 for his deputy leadership campaign. The most recent data from the Electoral Commission shows advertising executive Trevor Beattie and former businessmen turned Labour ministers Paul Myners and Mervyn Davies have backed Jowell. It doesn't include any declarations for the leadership candidates. The money must be slow to roll in for them, because MPs have to report all donations over £1,500 to the Registrar of Members' Financial Interests within 28 days of accepting them. The information is then published by the Electoral Commission. We'll get a fuller picture when the new Register of Members Interests showing all MPs' donations goes online in July.
Of course politicians can always ask the public if they would like to give generously. Left-wing leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn is trying to fund his campaign through small donations. As his website shows, he's got a long way to go to match the big money donors of 2010.


As Barack Obama closes out his final days as US president, local governments are naming the usual libraries, motorways and schools in his honour.

The Barack Obama Presidential Center library is being erected in Chicago and students across the country are already enrolled in schools named after the nation's first African-American president.
But as well as the ceremonial plaques, sculptures, and buildings there are a few other things bearing Mr Obama's name that you may not have expected.
Baracktrema obamai is the second parasite whose moniker was inspired by Mr Obama.
The flatworm species, which has a long, thread-like body, infects Malaysian freshwater turtles and can be fatal.
"This is clearly something, in my small way, done to honour our president," said Dr Thomas R Platt, an expert on turtle parasites who discovered the species.
He also said he was a distant relative of Mr Obama.
Researchers have previously named a hairworm, the Paragordius obamai, found in Kenya, after Mr Obama. The worm was discovered near where Mr Obama's father lived.
As part of a tribute to Mr Obama's marine conservation efforts in the Pacific, scientists named a maroon and gold fish found off Kure Atoll at the PapahÄ


A growing trend among Swiss towns and villages to introduce curfews for the under-16s is causing anger and frustration among the country's teenagers.

Local authorities say the curfews are necessary to prevent noise, litter, and vandalism, much of it fuelled, they claim, by underage drinking.
The resort of Interlaken became the first town to bring in a curfew, back in 2006. Today community police officer Hans Peter Buhlmann says it is a big success.
"This was where the problem was," he says, pointing to a big park in the town centre. "In summer it's beautiful, you can see the Alps, and lots of people come here, they sit down, they drink beer."
So is this a problem? It is, it seems, for Interlaken, where many residents were offended by the sight, and sound, of teenagers drinking alcohol in the park on long summer nights.
"In every town you can see teenagers and young people drinking beer and other things," explains Mr Buhlmann,  "but it's not a thing we like to see here in Interlaken, that's clear."
In fact, drinking alcohol under the age of 16 is already illegal in Switzerland. But Interlaken decided that was not enough, and it needed an additional measure: after 22:00, under-16s are not allowed out.
"They are not allowed to visit the city, the public places, the streets, alone," says Mr Buhlmann. "They can only go out if they are with their parents."
Interlaken says it has seen a marked reduction in late-night noise and vandalism since the introduction of the curfew, and since then a number of towns have followed suit.
"It's absolutely a trend," says Felix Graf of Berne's Young Socialist Party.
"I think it's really dangerous for young people, they want to do things but then the older people come and say no that's forbidden, you mustn't do that, everywhere in Switzerland it's the same problem."
Now young people are fighting back.
When Kehrsatz, a small commuter town close to the capital Berne became the latest community to introduce a curfew this year, local teenagers braved sub-zero temperatures to stage an after-ten-at-night party in the open air.
"I think this is just not fair," said one 15-year-old girl. "Lots of us have friends over 16 and we want to go out with them. Why should we have to leave just as the fun is starting?"
"I don't think this curfew is necessary," adds a boy. "And anyway, it should be the parents who decide, not the town council. This law will just make new problems."
And, a common refrain: "They are punishing all of us just because of a handful of troublemakers."
And although, in Interlaken, the authorities claim adults at least are happy with the curfew, many parents do have questions.
"What happens if one of my sons is coming home from the cinema, or football training, just after ten?" asks one mother. "Does he get arrested?"
"I think it's basically fair," says another mother. "If they want to prevent noise and graffiti. It's all about balancing rights and responsibilities."
In fact arrest is unlikely, because in most towns with curfews, Swiss police are not actively enforcing it. Instead the local authorities have employed private security firms.
Kehrsatz has hired Broncos Security, a company which has its origins in a motorcycle club of the same name.
"The start of our company was actually a motorcycle club, Broncos MC," explains company manager Roland Steiner, "like the Hell's Angels, or the Bandidos, or the Outlaws."
But while this history has raised eyebrows in Kehrsatz, Mr Steiner insists the security company and the motorcycle club are now "completely separate". And he points to the success his teams have had in reducing late-night noise and graffiti in the communities they work in.
"We talk to the young people," he explains. "We ask them what are you doing, where are you going, do they have alcohol with them, how old are they, we ask to see ID.
"And most of the time we get it because we do it in a friendly way. It's just, if you provoke us, there's a limit, and if you go over the limit, there's the end."
So what is the end exactly? Under Swiss law, the Broncos can restrain and even handcuff a youngster, but from there, the police must be called.
"I think it's a waste of taxpayers' money to employ security guards to impose a blanket curfew," says one father. "If there is really a problem with noise or vandalism, they should identify the culprits and deal with them."
And Swiss teenagers also complain that the real problem is lack of space for young people. Most clubs are either barred to under-16s, or simply too expensive. That is why, the under-16s say, so many of them socialise outside, especially in summer.
Many suspect the mere sight of large groups of young people outside on the streets angers "the grown-ups", and that this is what is behind the curfews. Some suggest it is a desire to return to a Switzerland of old, where everything had its place, and rules were obeyed.
But in 21st Century Switzerland, things are different. Last June an impromptu street party in Bern, called Tanz dich Frei (English: Dance yourself Free) attracted more than 25,000 young people, who danced through the streets all night long.
"It was a demonstration for more room, for more free time and space for young people," says Felix Graf. "A very strong sign that we don't want new curfews."
This summer Tanz Dich Frei will happen again. Meanwhile, more curfews are being planned.


A hospital trust that ran a unit where a man drowned in the bath will be investigated for safety breaches.

Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust has been asked to provide information on a number of unexplained deaths.
The death of Connor Sparrowhawk, 18, will be one of the cases reviewed by the Health and Safety Executive.
Trust chairman Mike Petter resigned on Friday after a Care Quality Commission (CQC) report found the trust was "continuing to put patients at risk".
Regulator NHS Improvement said it intends to appoint Tim Smart as new chairman.
Mr Sparrowhawk died after having a seizure in the bath at Slade House in Oxford. An inquest jury found neglect contributed to his death.
The CQC found the trust still had not implemented safe bathing guidelines.
NHS Improvement chief executive Jim Mackay said: "It is clear that dramatic change is needed urgently at Southern Health.
"Our action today in proposing the appointment of Tim Smart - a very experienced NHS leader - at the top of the organisation will speed up this improvement."
Mr Petter's departure on Thursday was followed by the resignation of Mark Aspinall, one of 13 public governors for the trust.
In his resignation letter, Mr Aspinall said there was an "apparent lack of drive and determination" to improve the situation at the trust.
Patients jumped off hospital roof
Southern Heatlh was inspected by the CQC after a report by NHS England found it did not investigate the unexpected deaths of more than 1,000 patients over a four-year period.
Its chief executive Katrina Percy has refused calls to resign from Mr Sparrowhawk's mother, Dr Sara Ryan.
Ms Percy said the CQC's findings sent "a clear message to the leadership... that more improvements must be delivered and as rapidly as possible".
The trust provides mental health services to patients in Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire.


A man who admitted shooting a 15-year-old boy in the head has been jailed for 11 years and 10 months.

Steven Thompson, 39, shot the teenager, who was riding on the back of a motorcycle, in Sunderland in October.
Last month, Thompson admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an air rifle without a firearms certificate
The victim suffered a "serious head wound" and was taken to hospital.
He was admitted to hospital in a critical condition and regained consciousness a week later.
In a witness statement read at Newcastle Crown Court, the teenager said he felt he had lost the life he loved as a result of his injuries.
He was said to have been an active boy who loved swimming and going to the Lake District on activity holidays.
Since the shooting he has lost most movement in the left side of his body and can only walk for short spells and uses a wheelchair for longer distances.
The judge praised the determination of the boy, and the support of his family, which has supported him with his recovery.
Detective Inspector Ed Small, said: "This has truly been an awful incident and Thompson's actions have left this poor young man with severe life-changing injuries.
"No 15-year-old should have their freedom or dignity taken away from them in this way."
Thompson, of Hewitt Avenue, also admitted another firearms charge but denied perverting the course of justice.
The driver of the motorbike was not hurt in the attack.


Detectives have been given more time to question a man arrested on suspicion of murder after a father-of-two was stabbed to death in broad daylight.

Hassan Abdi Mohamed, 48, from Harlow, was found collapsed on a path close to Holly Field in the town last Saturday at 10:45 GMT.
He died from a single stab wound to the chest.
An 18-year-old man from North London was arrested in Edmonton on Friday night.
Magistrates have granted officers an extension for him to remain in custody for a further 36 hours.
Detectives believe Mr Mohammed had been walking along the pathway that leads from Southern Way to Pyenest Road shortly before he was attacked.
His partner, who police have not named, paid tribute to him, saying what happened to "our beloved Hassan" was a "complete shock."
"He was a loving father to our two gorgeous children, who adored him," she added.
Officers confirmed they are still searching for the murder weapon, which is thought to be a large knife.


There was a rise this summer in the number of students in England taking traditional GCSEs and A-levels, the exams regulator, Ofqual, says.

Provisional figures show entries for English, maths, science and computing qualifications increased.
Ofqual says the rise is likely to be in response to government targets for more teenagers to study academic subjects.
However other subjects, such as citizenship, saw a decline in exam entries, Ofqual said.
Ofqual also noted decline in the number of students taking modern foreign languages.
Chief regulator Glenys Stacey said: "The subjects that are proving to be more popular this year are the traditional ones.
"There's been a drop-off in subjects that have never been high-volume ones anyway and there are one or two noticeable subjects that have dropped, for example GCSE citizenship studies where we've seen a 50% drop in take-up."
The data suggests government performance measures, such as the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) - where pupils have to study English, a language, maths, science and history or geography at GCSE - are having the effect ministers wanted to see.
In June, the government said all pupils who start secondary school in England this September will have to take the EBacc subjects when they sit their GCSEs in 2020.
The rise in popularity of traditional subjects may also be linked to academically competitive universities urging students to avoid subjects they perceive to be less rigorous.
In 2011, the Russell Group of research intensive universities published guidance advising students to study traditional subjects at A-level and to take at least two choices from a list of "facilitating subjects" such as English and maths.
Ms Stacey said traditional subjects were seen to be "very good currency" for university.
"We know that they are seen to be very good currency for some universities," she said.
" If your aspirations are to study some subjects at universities where there is a great deal of competition for places, we know that maths is sometimes an absolute requirement for some places, and also is extremely well regarded.
"It's not surprising that some students with those sort of ambitions will focus on that."
The Russell Group welcomed the figures, saying they were "welcome news", but said more needed to be done to ensure bright students from disadvantaged backgrounds got places at top institutions.
Ms Stacey added that the marking of exam papers was "on track" for this year, in contrast to this time 12 months ago when the regulator had concerns about marking progress for the board OCR.
This was "particularly pleasing", she said, given that exams this year were less modular than in previous years and were, therefore, being marked in a relatively small window.
The data was released by Ofqual as A-level candidates wait to receive their results on Thursday 13 August and GCSE candidates the following week.
Students in Wales and Northern Ireland will receive their results at the same time as their counterparts in England, while those in Scotland received the results of their National 4s and 5s, Highers and Advanced Highers on Tuesday 4 August.


Google believes it is on course to have enough internet-beaming balloons in the stratosphere to form a ring over part of the world next year.

It told the BBC the move would let it trial a continuous data service to people living below the balloons' path.
The declaration coincides with the announcement that three of Indonesia's mobile networks intend to start testing Project Loon's transmissions next year.
One expert said the plan had benefits over other solutions.
Sri Lanka previously signed a separate agreement signalling its wish to be another participant in the giant helium balloon-based scheme.
Google first revealed its superpressure balloon plan in June 2013, when about 30 of the inflatable plastic "envelopes" were launched from New Zealand.
Beneath each lighter-than-air balloon are hung:
The original set-up provided 3G-like data speeds, but the kit can now supply connected devices with about 10 megabits a second to connected devices via antennae on the ground. For comparison's sake, the average 4G connection in the UK is 15Mbit/sec.
There have also been other advances.
"In the early days, the balloons would last five or seven or 10 days. Now we have had balloons that have lasted as long as 187 days," Mike Cassidy, vice-president of Project Loon, told the BBC.
"We've also improved the launch process.
"It used to take 14 people an hour or two to launch a balloon, now with an automated crane we can launch a balloon every 15 minutes with two or three people."
If all goes according to plan, he added, the experiment should achieve one of its goals in 2016.
"[We need] about 300 balloons or so to make a continuous string around the world," he explained.
"As one moves along with the wind out of range, another one comes to take its place.
"We hope next year to build our first continuous ring around the world, and to have some sort of continuous coverage for certain regions.
"And if all goes well after, then after that we will start rolling out our first beta commercial customers."
Because each balloon only provides connectivity to a ground area 80km (50 miles) in diameter below it, the initial ring will be take place south of the equator where the circumference of the earth is about half that of the equator.
Superpressure balloons are made out of tightly sealed plastic capable of containing highly pressurised lighter-than-air gases.
The aim is to keep the volume of the balloon relatively stable, even if there are changes in temperature.
This allows them to stay aloft longer and be better at maintaining a specific altitude than balloons which stretch and contract.
In particular, it avoids the problem of balloons descending at night when their gases cool.
The concept was first developed for the US Air Force in the 1950s using a stretched polyester film called Mylar.
The effort resulted in the Ghost (global horizontal sounding technique) programme which launched superpressure balloons from Christchurch, New Zealand, to gather wind and temperature data over remote regions of the planet.
Over the following decade, 88 balloons were launched, the longest staying aloft for 744 days.
More recently, Nasa has experimented with the technology and suggested superpressure balloons could one day be deployed into Mars's atmosphere.
Google suggests that Project Loon would be a cheaper solution than installing fibre optic cables or building mobile phone masts across all of Indonesia's islands, which contain jungles and mountains.
It says the scheme would help address the fact that more than 100 million people out of the country's 255 million-strong population remain unconnected.
"From Sabang all the way to Merauke, many of these people live in areas without any existing internet infrastructure, so we hope balloon-powered internet could someday help give them access to the information and opportunity of the web," it said in a blog.
The three local networks that are partnering with the scheme are XL Axiata, Indostat and Telkomsel.
"[We recognise] Project Loon as one of the latest technological innovations, which would be very advantageous in expanding internet coverage in areas that are difficult to reach and also have a low population density," said Telkomsel's president Ririek Adriansyah.
"It can thoroughly complement our network."
One expert agreed the scheme has great potential.
"Any country that is struggling to get cabled or land-based wireless infrastructure out to its extreme edges will see satellites or other sky-based internet delivery mechanisms as a viable solution," commented Chris Green, a tech consultant at Davies Murphy Group.
The advantage of a balloon-based system over satellites is that it should ultimately be cheaper to maintain - at least, if all the technological challenges can be overcome.
"What may initially seem like a complex delivery method could end up being a very innovative solution to a very difficult problem to solve at ground level," Mr Green added.
Google is, however, considering other options,
It is also pursuing a separate effort codenamed Titan, which aims to use solar-panelled drones to provide the internet to unconnected parts of the world.
Facebook is also developing a similar drone-based scheme.


Theresa May has said the National Insurance increase for self-employed workers will make the system "fair", amid criticism from some Conservatives.

The Budget change broke a manifesto pledge - with one Conservative whip saying ministers should apologise.
But Mrs May said the poorest workers would pay less and the change would "close the gap in contributions".
She said a bill to bring in the change would come in the autumn - not the summer as the Treasury earlier briefed.
The change will see millions of self-employed workers pay an average of £240 a year more but ministers say those earning £16,250 or less will see their NI contributions fall.
Think tank backs NI rise
Labour and the Liberal Democrats criticised the change - as did more than a dozen Conservative MPs, including Iain Duncan Smith, John Redwood, Anna Soubry and Dominic Raab.
At a press conference following the EU summit the prime minister rejected suggestions the policy had broken a manifesto commitment, arguing the legislation brought in to "honour" that pledge related only to "class one" NI contributions, covering 85% of workers.
"We did make some difficult decisions in the Budget yesterday," she said, adding that those decisions had allowed them to fund technical education, to open more than 100 new free schools, as well as meeting social care demands and investing in the long-term productivity of the economy.
The shift towards self employment was "eroding the tax base", she argued.
"Is it fair? I think it is fair to close the gap in contributions between two people doing the same work and using the same public services to make the same contribution to wider society."
The prime minister said the "full effects" of the change would be set out in a paper in the summer  alongside "some changes we plan to make on rights and protections for self-employed workers and people would be able to look at the paper and "take a judgement in the round". The chancellor would "listen to the concerns" raised by MPs and business.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said that, while the Treasury had briefed on Thursday morning that legislation to enact the National Insurance change would be brought forward in the summer, Downing Street was now saying it would be in the autumn.
The change was supported by some economic commentators. The Resolution Foundation think tank called it "welcome and progressive", while the Institute for Fiscal Studies suggested further rises were needed.
But among Conservative MPs criticising the measure was Guto Bebb, a government whip and minister in the Wales Office.
He told BBC Radio Cymru: "I believe we should apologise. I will apologise to every voter in Wales that read the Conservative manifesto in the 2015 election."
The Conservatives' last general election manifesto explicitly ruled out rises in National Insurance, VAT and income tax during the lifetime of the current Parliament.
During the campaign, then Prime Minister David Cameron continually repeated the commitment in public and contrasted it with the "jobs tax" which he said people could expect under Labour.
Conservative MP Anne Marie Morris wrote in the Telegraph: "The changes to National Insurance defy belief! What did the chancellor think he was doing? Increasing the rate of 'Class 4' contribution from 9 per cent to 11 per cent over two years!
"At least he kept his word and abolished 'Class 2' contributions which was unfair, not well understood and not related to income or profit.
"But while Class 4 contributions are profit related and therefore 'fairer', this was I suspect not the reason for the change but a post-decision marketing strap line.
"It has all the hallmarks of the 'pasty tax' own goal."
In the wake of Mr Hammond's Budget announcement, ministers argued that legislation enshrining the manifesto commitment in law - approved by Parliament in 2015 - only referred to National Insurance contributions paid directly by employers and their employees.
Wednesday's changes would see the 9% rate of Class 4 National Insurance contributions currently paid by those self-employed people earning between £8,060 and £43,000 go up to 10% in April 2018 and to 11% in April 2019.
Labour accused the government of "breaking their promises" and "clobbering" the self-employed, while the Lib Dems and UKIP also criticised the move.


A college that owns a building used by squatters as a homeless shelter has said it is "investigating all options", including legal action.

Campaigners say the former Volkswagen car showroom in Iffley Road is being used as "Oxford's unofficial homeless shelter".
The site is currently home to 14 people and has been vacant for two years.
But Wadham College hopes to redevelop the building into student accommodation.
Campaigners have asked for the site to be officially designated as homeless housing.
"I don't want to see anyone freezing to death in the city that's my home," said one supporter, Miranda Shaw.
"That is something that has happened in other cities around the country and I think that is totally unacceptable."
Lewis Cairns, who is homeless and living in the squat, said: "It's a bit of a godsend really, I feel like I can get somewhere now.
"I can start applying for university and get things done."
A spokesperson for Wadham College said it was "exploring everything" and had not decided whether to take legal action.
It added its primary focus was "the safety implications for the homeless who have moved in" and said it had a longstanding relationshop with the Gatehouse homeless project.
A statement said: "The college will be making every effort to speak to representatives of this homeless group as well as local residents, safety experts and the site developers.
"As part of [redeveloping the site], Wadham College has undertaken to contribute more than Â£900,000 towards social housing provision in Oxford.
"The college regularly fundraises for homeless organisations and we donated much of the furniture from the Iffley Road site to a homeless charity."


Three people have been killed and 23 taken to hospital after a mass brawl at a Moscow cemetery, apparently sparked by a dispute about jobs, police say.

Russian news reports said up to 200 people took part in the brawl at the south-west Khovanskoye cemetery.
Police said two of the victims died after being run over by a car as people escaped from the scene.
Police spokeswoman Sofya Khotina said the three people in the car, who were armed with pistols, were arrested.
The brawlers fired guns and fought with shovels, shovel handles, steel bars and baseball bats, Russian news reports said.
More than 90 people were arrested, according to police.
Reports said police officers fired into the air in an attempt to quell the violence.
Police believe the brawl was caused by a territorial dispute between two different groups of workers, fighting over the cemetery's lucrative services business.
Reports said they were from ethnic groups from ex-Soviet Central Asia and the Caucasus.
The Khovanskoye cemetery is a massive 200-hectare (500-acre) site on Moscow's southwestern outskirts.


Two P&O ferry workers who conspired to smuggle cocaine into the UK have been jailed for 16 years each.

Edward Tron, 51, from Gateshead, and Mark Quilliam, 55, from Liverpool, used their positions to smuggle cocaine into Hull from Rotterdam, their trial heard.
Tron, a steward, and Quilliam, a chef, made up to Â£60,000 a trip over a six-year-period, Hull Crown Court was told.
Tron's wife, Susan, 54, was imprisoned for nine months, after being convicted of money laundering.
The two men, who were both found guilty of conspiracy to import cocaine, were caught after the National Crime Agency (NCA) mounted an undercover operation with Dutch police.
Read more about this and other stories from Hull and East Yorkshire
The Trons were found to have deposited more than Â£138,000 in their own bank accounts but could not explain where the money came from.
The smuggling enterprise was discovered after a crewmate was arrested with a large amount of cash and was later jailed for money laundering.
An NCA officer was placed on the ferry and recorded conversations in which the prosecution said Tron admitted importing drugs.
In a police interview, Tron claimed he had suspicions about the undercover police officer "within a few days", but played along by making up stories.


A senior commander with pro-Russian rebel forces in eastern Ukraine has been killed in a car bomb attack in Luhansk, rebels say.

Oleg Anashchenko, military chief of Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), was reported to have died instantly.
The incident was described by rebel spokesman Andrey Marochko as an "act of terrorism".
It follows the bloodiest week of clashes between Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed insurgents since 2015.
Mr Marochko said "Ukrainian secret services" were suspected of being behind the attack, which he said was aimed at "destabilising the Republic".
"We will track down the perpetrators of this monstrous act and they will receive the appropriate punishment," he said.
Officials in Kiev have denied any involvement in Saturday's bomb attack.
This week has seen an escalation in the violence in rebel-held eastern Ukraine, with a number of attacks that have reportedly left at least 35 people dead. There are fears that the actual death toll could be much higher.
Each side blames the other for the upsurge in violence.
Meanwhile US President Donald Trump is due to hold talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko.
A scheduled call is due to take place on Saturday in which Mr Poroshenko is likely to seek assurances that Washington will continue to provide diplomatic support to Ukraine.
Earlier this week, the government-held frontline town of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine was hit by heavy shelling. The town, whose population is estimated to be about 22,000 people, was left without water and electricity in freezing conditions.
Russia and Ukraine, along with the rebels on Wednesday, signed up to calls for a ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons from Avdiivka by Sunday.
But Ukraine says it is preparing a possible evacuation of the town to avoid a humanitarian crisis.
The conflict in eastern Ukraine erupted after Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula in March 2014.
A ceasefire was eventually agreed in February 2015 but there have been frequent violations. The latest truce began on 23 December.
The US and EU imposed sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in eastern Ukraine and Crimea.
Russia has repeatedly denied sending troops and weapons into eastern Ukraine, but admits that Russian "volunteers" fight alongside the rebels.


Welsh boxer Lee Selby is set to defend his IBF featherweight title against Jonathan Victor Barros, scuppering an immediate showdown with Carl Frampton.

The International Boxing Federation has told BBC Wales Sport the fight will go to purse bids on 13 April, with no agreement reached.
Selby and Barros were due to fight on the undercard of Frampton v Leo Santa Cruz II, but the bout was called off.
The Barros fight must be staged within 90 days after the purse bids.
Selby, whose last title defence was against Eric Hunter in April 2016, was given dispensation by the IBF to fight Andoni Gago in a non-title fight on the undercard of Tony Bellew's victory over David Haye.
However, the IBF now expects Barros to be given his opportunity after confusion surrounding the boxer's health was cleared up.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Nevada Athletic Commission did not give an explanation for calling off the contest with Selby less than 24 hours before they were due to fight, other than saying the Argentine had not "met fight requirements".
However, the IBF is satisfied Barros is ready and able to fight.
The IBF ruling completes a miserable week for Northern Ireland's Frampton, after the news that Leo Santa Cruz will defend his WBA title against Abner Mares.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Frampton beat Santa Cruz to claim the WBA belt in New York last summer but lost the January rematch in Las Vegas.
The WBA ended speculation of a third fight between the pair in Belfast by ordering Santa Cruz to defend his belt against his fellow Mexican.
Selby is now without a promoter in the UK, but has a management agreement with Al Haymon.
Haymon, who also manages Mares and Santa Cruz, might favour the undercard of that contest for the Selby defence against Barros, should he win the purse bid.
Barros' camp have stated they would like to stage the fight in Mendoza, Argentina.


A judge has ordered immigration officials to release a Zimbabwean convicted criminal because the UK has "no prospect" of deporting him.

Mr Justice Garnham, at the High Court in London, accepted that Andre Babbage was "likely" to abscond and offend.
But he said Babbage's continued detention was unjustified, because the home secretary was not going to be able to send him back to Zimbabwe.
Babbage has UK convictions for supplying cocaine, assault and robbery.
The Zimbabwean national, who was born in 1986 and came to the UK with his mother in 2003, had been in immigration detention since October 2013.
Lawyers for Home Secretary Theresa May argued that continued detention pending deportation was lawful.
The judge said that Babbage had "no right to remain in the UK" and had "committed serious offences in this country".
But he went on to say that Zimbabwe would only accept "returning nationals" if they had a passport or wished to return.
Babbage did not have a current Zimbabwean passport, and had repeatedly made it clear that he did not consent to being returned to Zimbabwe, Mr Justice Garnham said.
Therefore there was "no prospect" of deportation to Zimbabwe and continued detention "could not be justified", he ruled.
"It is my judgement that [he] would be likely, if released, to abscond and to commit further offences," the ruling said.
"The question which arises here is whether the Home Secretary can justify [his] continued detention when he has made it clear that he will not return home.
"My answer to that question is 'no'."
Babbage had been given leave to remain in Britain in 2007, the court heard.
In a period of about two years he built up a "serious criminal record", committing offences including supplying cocaine, harassment, criminal damage and theft.
In 2011, he was convicted of robbery, after a hearing at Woolwich Crown Court, and given a 30-month sentence.
Home Office officials made a deportation order in 2013 and he had been placed in immigration detention pending deportation.


Newcastle Falcons have signed Vereniki Goneva from Leicester Tigers from the start of next season.

The 31-year-old Fiji international, who plays on the wing and at centre, has been with the Tigers for four years.
He has made 78 appearances for the Welford Road club, scoring 32 tries in all competitions for them.
"He will bring another dimension to our back-line firepower from next season onwards,"  director of rugby Dean Richards told the Newcastle website.
Goneva has scored 15 tries for Fiji and won 39 caps, the most recent against Uruguay during last year's World Cup.
"It says much for the current standing of the Falcons that we can attract a player of his calibre," Richards added.
"We are getting not only a world-class player with Vereniki, but also somebody who has consistently proven they can thrive in the Premiership."


Forget the fanfare, forget the ritual and forget the policy announcements, because let's face it - this was not an eat-all-you-can legislative meal.

How could it be?
The president has less than a year to go, so a protein-rich legislative programme would be a waste of time because there aren't the hours and there aren't the votes.
Instead this occasion was about symbols and messages. Variously attributed to Walter Benjamin, George Orwell and Winston Churchill it is said that "history is written by the victors". And like all good politicians Barack Obama in his final State of the Union address was trying to give his narrative on his term of office.
Without the verbal dexterity or phrase-making elan that have been his oratorical hallmark - I could sum it up crudely as: "It was a pile of steaming ordure when I got here, but it's really pretty good now."
And so the tone was optimistic: "The future we want - opportunity and security for our families; a rising standard of living and a sustainable, peaceful planet for our kids - all that is within our reach."
But that message also served another political purpose. With the election coming up in November the none too subtle sub-text of that is: All this is within your reach providing you don't change course. In other words, don't embrace a Republican candidate.
And of what he found when he got to the White House, he spoke of the American spirit to innovate and discover.
"It's that spirit that made the progress of these past seven years possible. It's how we reformed our health care system, and reinvented our energy sector; how we delivered more care for our troops and veterans and how we secured the freedom in every state to marry the person we love."
I told you he would do it more eloquently.
But if part of his legacy depends on seeing a Democrat returned to the White House, there was one Republican the president didn't want to see embraced.
That was the billionaire businessman Donald Trump. Although he did not mention Mr Trump by name it was clear who his target was.
"When politicians insult Muslims ... that doesn't make us safer. That's not telling it like it is. It's just wrong. It diminishes us in the eyes of the world. It makes it harder to achieve our goals. And it betrays who we are as a country."
Indeed calling for a different kind of political dialogue was one of the central themes of this speech.
One of the great frustrations of his presidency has been the toxic relations between Capitol Hill and the White House.
And so he called for a more tolerant, open and respectful political discourse.
"Our Founders distributed power between states and branches of government, and expected us to argue, just as they did, over the size and shape of government, over commerce and foreign relations, over the meaning of liberty and imperatives of security.
But democracy does require basic bonds of trust between its citizens."
That goal will probably have to be filed in the "mission not accomplished" intray. But he said he would keep on trying.
On policy there is a determination to get to mission accomplished on a whole pile of things from reform of the criminal justice system to prescription drug abuse; from getting more students to write computer code to concluding the normalisation of relations with Cuba; from the Pacific trade deal to immigration reform.
And of course, closest to his heart - making progress on tackling the scourge of gun violence. One seat in the First Lady's box was symbolically kept empty to remember those who've been killed and whose voice is no longer heard.
But this was not a State of the Union that will be remembered for the shopping list.
This  is about a vision for America for the next four or five years, when President Obama will be long gone and pruning the roses and digging up the weeds in his back yard (why do I struggle with that as a credible image?). It was optimistic, upbeat, hopeful.
Winning everyone in Congress with this address was never going to be possible.
No the target is the American people. As he enters the final lap of his presidency latest polls suggest that around two thirds of the American people think America is going in the wrong direction; only 27% think the country is doing well.
Switch those numbers around and the Obama legacy is secure; if those numbers don't budge then history might not be written by the president, but by the verdict of "we the people".


Dywed teithwyr ar drenau o dde Cymru "nad oes ganddynt syniad pa bryd y byddant yn cyrraedd gartref" ar ôl problemau signalau rhwng Caerdydd a Llundain.

Mae'r holl drenau ar y lein wedi eu hatal tra bod y broblem  rhwng Swindon a Didcot Parkway yn cael ei datrys.
Dywedodd un teithiwr wrth BBC Cymru fod yna "bobl yn crio" yng ngorsaf Didcot tra bod un ferch wedi methu pen-blwydd ei mam.
Mae Network Rail yn cynghori pobl i beidio â theithio ar hyn o bryd.
Ymhlith y rhai sydd wedi eu heffeithio mae teithwyr ar y gwasanaeth 13:33 o orsaf Paddington i Gaerdydd.
Dywedodd un o'r teithwyr eu bod wedi bod yn eistedd ar y trên am oriau yn Swindon cyn cael eu cymryd i orsaf Didcot.
"Y cyfan sydd wedi digwydd ydi bod ni wedi cael dod yn nôl i'r orsaf er mwyn i ni allu cerdded ychydig, ond does neb fel eu bod yn gwybod sut y byddwn yn cyrraedd yn ôl adref.
"Fe ddylwn i wedi bod nôl gartref erbyn 15:30 ar oll rydym wedi cael i'w paned o de."
Mewn datganiad dyweddodd Network Rail fod y problemau signalau wedi achosi "trafferthion mawr" i wasanaethau rhwng Abertawe, Bryste a Paddington.
"Ar hyn o bryd mae'r lein wedi ei chau, a does dim modd i drenau ddefnyddio'r lein tra bod y gwaith atgyweirio yn mynd rhagddo. Mae disgwyl i'r oedi bara tan ddiwedd y dydd."


Exeter Chiefs fly-half Gareth Steenson should be in the Ireland squad, according to team-mate Ian Whitten.

Steenson, 31, was capped at youth level by Ireland, but has spent most of his career in England and has been a key member of the Exeter team.
"There aren't that many good 10's in Ireland," said Whitten, who has two caps for Ireland.
"I have to say that Gareth Steenson's been very, very unlucky not to have been capped by Ireland."
Steenson moved to Exeter from Cornish Pirates in 2008 and kicked the winning penalty that saw the Chiefs beat Bristol in the inaugural Championship play-off final in 2010, leading to their promotion to the top flight for the first time.
Since then he has become Exeter's record Premiership points-scorer, with 953, and equalled the top flight record of nine penalties in a match in 2014.
"I was lucky enough to get capped before I came over here," added Whitten, who agreed a new contract at Sandy Park last week.
"But similar to the English, although they don't openly say it, they don't like to pick guys playing outside of Ireland.
"That's fair enough, I accept that stance, and I enjoy playing here. I don't consider going back home as I didn't want to leave (the club)."


Monaghan clinched their first Ulster Under-21 Football title since 1999 as they beat All-Ireland champions Tyrone 0-13 to 0-11 in the provincial decider.

Five Lee Brennan points helped Tyrone lead 0-7 to 0-6 after a tight first half at the Athletic Grounds.
However, Monaghan hit five out of six scores after the resumption to move into a 0-11 to 0-8 lead.
Tyrone cut the margin to a point but Adam Treanor's late score helped Monaghan complete a deserved success.
Barry McGinn top-scored for Monaghan with six points while his team-mate Ryan McAnespie completed a hat-trick of Ulster football medals after his earlier senior and minor successes.
The victory clinched only Monaghan's third Ulster under-21 title.
Monaghan, managed by former Tyrone star Ciaran McBride, will probably look back on a crucial early double save by keeper Conor Forde which prevented Sean Fox from netting.
After Shea Hamill opened the scoring for the Red Hands the sides were point for point until two in a row from McGinn and another Monaghan senior panelists Conor McCarthy helped the Red Hands lead 0-4 to 0-3.
Three straight Brennan scores edged Tyrone two ahead but an Aaron Lynch point helped Monaghan level before Brennan's fifth score of the half left the Red Hands 0-7 to 0-6 ahead at the break.
However, Monaghan's dominance of the third quarter turned the match in their favour as two points apiece from McGinn and McCarthy plus a Barry Kerr score helped them move 0-11 to 0-8 ahead.
Tyrone remained three in arrears with five minutes left before scores from Cathal McShane and David Mulgrew left the minimum between the sides with two minutes of normal time remaining.
However, Tyrone were unable to get on terms and Treanor's point in the fourth minute of injury completed Monaghan's deserved win.


It was another marathon session in Brazil's congress.

There was heated debate over the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, this time with the suspended president herself at the centre of the questioning, giving answers to more than 50 senators one by one.
It was an unprecedented moment in Brazilian history, the final episode in a trial expected to end with her permanent removal from office.
Ms Rousseff is accused of breaking budget laws, but the case has a much more complex background.
Brazil is currently going through its worst economic crisis in decades, with the economy in recession after years of promising growth.
During Ms Rousseff's second term, the country has seen the public deficit, inflation and unemployment soar and has lost its hard-earned investment-grade credit rating.
Corruption allegations have tainted Ms Rousseff Workers' Party, fuelling animosity towards her and her mentor and predecessor in office, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
At Monday's session, senators blamed her for the tanking economy and accused her of concealing the growing fiscal deficit as she sought re-election.
They also questioned how she could not have been aware of the corruption at state-run oil giant Petrobras, when for years she chaired its board of directors.
The revelations about corruption at Petrobras, in which members of Ms Rousseff's Workers' Party as well as business executives and influential members of other parties have been implicated, have played a crucial role in undermining the government's credibility.
Ms Rousseff could have had her lawyers represent her at Monday's session, but she decided to defend herself, a decision that may have been more about leaving her mark on history than trying to change senators' minds.
Depending on the outcome of the impeachment vote, her appearance in the senate may prove to have been her last stand and spell the end of 13 years in power by the Workers' Party.
Addressing her "beloved Brazil", she insisted the allegations against her were a pretext to remove her from office.
She said she was being judged for the acts of her government in general, not the specific illegal acts of which she stands accused.
She also said while the impeachment trial could not be compared to the military coup of 1964 - following which she was imprisoned and tortured - it would nevertheless inflict a lasting wound on the country.
Senators should examine their conscience before deciding how to vote, she said.
Her defence included strong words and harsh accusations, but she maintained a respectful tone throughout.
This was in contrast to the exchanges during earlier stages of the impeachment trial, which led Speaker Renan Calheiros to describe the senate as "a madhouse".
The 81 senators will cast their votes after another long round of speeches on Tuesday, expected to last up to 15 hours.
By Wednesday at the latest, Ms Rousseff's fate should be clear.
If two-thirds of the senators vote in favour of her impeachment, Ms Rousseff will be formally removed from the presidency and barred from holding office for eight years.
In that case, interim President Michel Temer, her former ally and vice-president, will be officially made head of state until 2018.
Mr Temer's government seems so confident of the outcome it has made plans for a swift inauguration to allow him to attend the G20 summit starting in China on 4 September.
As Ms Rousseff presented her defence, Mr Temer was next door in the presidential palace welcoming Brazil's Olympic athletes and posing for pictures.
His supporters say he has the political ability to build alliances and put the economy back on track.
His detractors fear they will get a conservative government and austerity measures most of the population did not vote for.
With the investigation into corruption at Petrobras continuing and Brazil's political system deeply discredited, the dust in Brasilia seems far from settling, and political stability appears a remote prospect.


A new trailer for upcoming film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword gives glimpses of the Scottish landscape used for some of its scenes.

Locations on Skye as well as in and around Shieldaig, Kishorn and Applecross in Wester Ross were used for the Guy Ritchie-directed movie.
Due for release in May, it stars former Byker Grove and Sons of Anarchy actor Chris Hunnam in the lead role.
Katie McGrath, Hermione Corfield, Jude Law and Eric Bana also star.
The landscape of the Isle of Skye will also be seen this summer in Transformers: The Last Knight.
VisitScotland has welcomed the expected exposure of Scotland to global cinema audiences.
Chief executive Malcolm Roughead said: "Skye has provided stunning backdrops to a host of high-profile movies in recent years, including The BFG, Macbeth and Prometheus.
"Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is another opportunity to promote Scotland, not only as a wonderful set-jetting destination, but to highlight this country's connection to the man behind the myth."
He added: "It is particularly fitting in our Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology. From World Heritage Sites to ancient monuments, cultural traditions to our myths, stories and legends - the year-long programme will spotlight some of our greatest assets and icons as well as our hidden gems."


A presidential pardon granted to Jacqueline Sauvage, the Frenchwoman who murdered her abusive husband, has been welcomed by politicians and commentators of all stripes.

Almost unanimously they agree that the 10-year prison term was unjust, because in both the original trial and then December's appeal, insufficient account was taken of the defendant's many years of suffering.
Certainly that was the case made by Jacqueline Sauvage's lawyers, and then in the online petition, signed by some 400,000 people in the last few weeks.
But there are dissenting voices. These people, mainly in the judiciary, are concerned about the precedent that Francois Hollande has set in exercising his rarely used right to pardon.
Hollande to free abused murderer
Writer and former judge Philippe Bilger said it was worrying to see a media campaign wielding such influence on the conduct of justice. On two occasions, after due trial, juries consisting of professional magistrates and members of the public had examined the evidence against Sauvage.
Why should their conclusions be gainsaid by clicks on the internet?
"It is pretty dramaticâ€¦ when political personalities of all types involve themselves in matters they do not know, and amid demagogy and confusion launch an attack on one of the fundamental institutions of our country," Mr Bilger wrote in Le Figaro.
"Those who know the facts passed judgment. Those who judge the judges know nothing."
Many in the magistrature feel that the act of presidential pardon has no place in a system where there is supposed to be a separation of powers.
In the case of Jacqueline Sauvage, Mr Hollande was careful to make a nuanced decision. Even after his pardon, she remains guilty of the crime of murder, and it will be up to magistrates to decide exactly when she is freed.
Nonetheless, the president intervened personally to have her sentence reduced to a minimum, reacting in so doing to what he perceived to be a groundswell of popular outrage.
For some, this right to pardon, enshrined in Article 17 of the constitution, is a throwback to a monarchical age and should be abolished.
The danger, for some jurists, is that emotion and public relations have become the arbiters in a complex criminal affair.
Lawyer Florence Rault said that a political cause, feminism, had trumped dispassionate dissection of the facts.
She said the case for the prosecution had received virtually no coverage in the media, so the public perception was shaped solely by Jacqueline Sauvage's defence.
"The aim is simple: to instrumentalise the justice system for purposes which are foreign to the justice system. To wit in this instance: promoting the idea of women as victims, and denying the possibility of violence done by women."
No-one denies that Jacqueline Sauvage suffered at the hands of her husband, though there were certainly questions raised in court about the reality of the relationship.
For Le Monde's justice commentator Pascale Robert-Diard, the truth of the matter is that her lawyers conducted a disastrous defence. And when it failed, instead of going to the high court of appeal, they turned to the media.
According to Robert-Diard, the lawyers should have admitted guilt and asked for a minimal sentence, pleading Jacqueline Sauvage's years of misery.
Instead they pushed for acquittal, based on the legally-unacknowledged argument of "deferred self-defence".
Twice this tactic proved unavailing. And in the end it was left to the head of state "to give to the defendant the kind of effective defence that she never got in court".


Wales' rarest species of animal, bird and plant are being assigned an assembly member each to champion their cause.

From red squirrels to dolphins, 60 of the most threatened wildlife in Wales will be paired with a politician.
Early adopters included John Griffiths, who will speak up on behalf of water voles and Llyr Gruffydd who will "look after" dormice.
It follows a similar scheme undertaken by members of the Scottish Parliament.
AMs will be given opportunities to take part in visits and conservation activities and will be expected to promote their species in the Senedd.
The initiative is being run by the Wales Environment Link (Wel), a coalition of environmental charities.
They argue the current assembly term is particularly important for Welsh nature, with international targets looming to halt wildlife declines by 2020.
Under the UN's Convention on Biological Diversity these include seeing a "definitive recovery in the number, range and genetic diversity" of threatened species.
A report published by 25 conservation groups in 2013 argued that wildlife was at crisis point in Wales, with 60% of the species studied having declined over the last half century and one in 10 facing extinction.
Politicians are being offered species which are close to home in terms of conservation work going on in their regions or constituencies.
Labour AM for Newport East Mr Griffiths has agreed to champion the water vole, Britain's fastest declining wild mammal.
The population in the UK has fallen by over 95% from its estimated pre-1960 level of around 8m to 220,000 in 2004.
A re-introduction project has been undertaken at Magor Marsh nature reserve in Mr Griffiths's constituency.
"They're lovely little creatures," he told BBC Wales.
"Whatever aspect of nature we use to engage with people, to fire the imagination of children and schools is really valuable in getting key message across. We want biodiversity, we don't want creatures we have always cherished to become extinct."
Meanwhile in North Wales, Plaid Cymru's Llyr Gruffydd has agreed to speak out on behalf of the dormouse.
607 of the highly endangered mammals have been micro-chipped at Bontuchel Wood near Ruthin and are being monitored by the North Wales Wildlife Trust.
Mr Gruffydd said the scheme would give politicians and the wider public "a stronger affinity" with nature.
"They will be more mindful of certain developments in their constituencies affecting species that are quite unique to their area perhaps," he said.
"This is one way we can make sure there are stronger voices speaking up for the environment in Wales."
James Byrne, living landscapes manager for Wildlife Trusts Wales said the aim of the campaign was to show the range of biodiversity on offer in Wales and "to put nature at the heart of government."
"Iconic species to Wales such as the curlew and lapwing could be lost within a generation," he said.
"But most people don't know that - and that's why we need our politicians to highlight their plight in the Senedd and help Welsh Government reverse the trends in their decline."
Among the other species adopted at a launch on Wednesday were Arctic terns, otters, red squirrel and dolphin.
The butterfly Small Blue might appeal to another of the Conservatives, but conservationists will be hoping politicians do not worry too much about being associated with the Grizzled Skipper, the fungus Purple Earth Tongue, or the Common Toad.


Anthony Horowitz's new official Bond novel, Trigger Mortis, is out.

Set in 1957 against the backdrop of the Soviet-American space race, 007's latest literary outing sees him reunited with Goldfinger's Pussy Galore.
The story also features a motor racing scene based on an original Ian Fleming idea for an unmade TV series.
So did Trigger Mortis click with the critics? Here is a round-up of reviews.
In Trigger Mortis the reader finds the set pieces expertly handled and genuinely exciting, particularly one stand-out scene where Bond is buried alive. Even Pussy Galore, who despite Bond's efforts is not consigned so easily, has a fresh twist. It all makes for an energetic and satisfying read. Fleming fans will eat it up.
Read the full review
For the most part, Horowitz makes a good fist of capturing Fleming's tone of casual cynicism. However, there are one or two unhappy attempts to try and smooth Bond's rough edges, including one moment when 007 comes over all soppy at the thought of the henchmen he has killed over the years: "He had never asked where they had come from, why they had agreed to do the devil's own work. Were they just trying to scratch a living? Did they have sick mothers and six-month-old babies?" Even readers who aren't reminded of a similar-sounding riff from Austin Powers will give this passage the raspberry.

Anthony Horowitz has written a humdinger of a Bond story, so cunningly crafted and thrillingly paced that 007's creator would have been happy to have owned it.
Read the full review
Horowitz also stays true to the Bond of Fleming's books rather than the Bond of the movies. His hero is human, self-doubting, weak, in a way that is hard for a movie star to be in the context of a decades-long franchise and Monty Norman's immortal James Bond theme. And while Horowitz's loving pastiche lacks Fleming's flashes of brilliance, it should be more than good enough for the fans.
Read the full review
Interestingly, Fleming himself wanted to put Bond in a racing car, and some four or five hundred words of his from a rough scenario are used in one scene. You can't see the joins. Nor will you be looking for them, for by that stage you will have been caught up in the bonkers but hugely enjoyable story, which has everything in it we want from Bond, and more.
Read the full review
As long as Trigger Mortis follows the contours established by Fleming, it's a brisk and effective ride. The problems arise when Horowitz deviates from the model.
Read the full review
Trigger Mortis feels grounded and Horowitz's crisp prose is relentless in its pace. Best of all, you can tell he enjoyed writing the book. It's a thrill, an entertainment, pure amusement. Ian Fleming couldn't have done better himself.
Read the full review
Horowitz is perhaps the only continuation author to have captured not only the vivid description of place and time, of which Fleming was a master, but also the absurdity of characterisation and events, which made the Bond books so enjoyable.

A Carmarthenshire home searched after the London terror attack belongs to the attacker's mother.

Police visited the house where Khalid Masood's mother lives in Trelech, along with properties in Birmingham and London on Thursday.
Four people were killed and dozens were hurt after Masood drove a car on to a pavement, stabbed a policeman before he was shot dead by police on Wednesday.
Police said nobody living at the house was a suspect.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman said on Thursday: "The Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit, supported by officers of Dyfed-Powys Police, have today provided assistance to The Metropolitan Police, following yesterday's incident in London.
"In doing this, they have conducted a search of one property in Carmarthenshire - this search has concluded.
"The occupants are receiving appropriate support. They are not suspects and have not been arrested."
The force added there was no threat to the area.
Police said more arrests were made overnight and officers have seized thousands of items which were now being analysed.
South Wales Police and Gwent Police have said they are reviewing respective security arrangements in light of the incident and there would be an increase in police presence in busy areas.
The so-called Islamic State group has said it was behind the attack.
The Metropolitan Police said there had been no prior intelligence about Masood's intention to carry out an attack.
He was known to the police and had previous convictions for causing grievous bodily harm, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences.
He was believed to have been living in the West Midlands and is also believed to have lived at various times in Crawley, West Sussex, and Rye and Eastbourne, both in East Sussex.
But it is unclear if he had any contact with his mother in west Wales.


Manchester United and England defender Luke Shaw will have a scan on a long-standing groin injury.

Shaw played 85 minutes of Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Watford, after which he was criticised by manager Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese said the 21-year-old, who returned at the start of the season after breaking his leg last September, was too far away from Nordin Amrabat in the build-up to Watford's second goal.
Shaw has started all five of United's Premier League games so far.
The Red Devils, who have lost their past three matches, play League One side Northampton at Sixfields in the third round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday.


Two men who tried to smuggle 13 men and a child in a boat across the English Channel into the UK have been jailed.

Boat owner Jonathan Bridgeman, 42, was jailed for two and a half years and Deshan Laci, aged 35, received a three-year term, the Home Office confirmed.
The pair had sailed from Brighton Marina to Dieppe before returning with the 14 Albanians late on 15 November, 2014, Lewes Crown Court heard.
But  Bridgeman was caught when his boat had to be towed into Eastbourne.
The court heard the defendant, from Toll Gate, Burgess Hill, West Sussex, was arrested after his vessel - named Sea Paz - moored at Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne, where his passengers tried to flee before being detained by harbour staff and police.
However, Laci, a British citizen born in Albania, from Ridge Langley, South Croydon, managed to escape from the harbour.
He was eventually caught after immigration enforcement officers discovered he was the owner of a car wash in Hurstpierpoint, Sussex, where a raid on 15 February last year, confirmed an Albanian man was being employed illegally.
Bridgeman pleaded guilty at the court, on 23 October 2015, to assisting unlawful immigration into the UK.   Laci admitted the same charge at a hearing on 2 September this year.
Twelve of the immigrants have since been removed from the UK and one has a pending asylum application with the Home Office, while the child had been handed over to the care of social services.
Dave Fairclough, assistant director of the Immigration Enforcement Criminal Investigations team, said the convictions indicated how different agencies work together "effectively to secure our borders".
"It is thanks to the prompt action of the harbour staff, the swift response of the police and the thorough investigation subsequently conducted by my immigration enforcement officers that Bridgeman and Laci have been brought to justice," he said.


Banbridge remain top of the Irish Hockey League but only on goal difference after losing 2-1 to Three Rock Rovers in Dublin on Saturday.

With Monkstown missing the chance to go top after losing 4-3 to Cork C of I, Lisnagarvey are level on points with Banbridge with a 2-0 win over UCD.
Instonians are still without a win at the bottom after losing 3-2 to Pembroke Wanderers at Shaw's Bridge.
In the other game, Glenanne defeated Leinster rivals Railway Union 5-4.
At Grange Road, goals from Jody Hosking and Ben Walker put Three Rock into a 2-0 interval lead before Johnny McKee replied for Banbridge after the break.
However, despite their first loss of the season, Banbridge do have a game in hand over Lisnagarvey and Monkstown.
Garvey scored a goal in each half against UCD to join Bann on 20 points with Ryan Getty finishing off a flowing move to break the deadlock in the 29th minute.
The Hillsborough side continued to force the pace in the second half and James Lorimer completed the scoring from a 42nd minute penalty-corner.
Just two points separate four teams at the top of the table with Cork C of I's win over Monkstown moving the Munster side level with their opponents and trailing them only on goal difference.
Instonians remain at the bottom of the table after a last minute goal denied them a draw against Pembroke Wanderers.
Stephen Kelso gave the Belfast side the lead in the the second minute but two goals in the space of four minutes close to half-time saw the Dublin side move into a 2-1 interval lead.
Jack Ryan equalised on the half-hour mark and Ryan McDonald made it 2-1 shortly afterwards but James Corry levelled with 10 minutes left when he scored from the penalty spot.
However, after some fine saves from home goalkeeper Sam Brown, Pembroke sealed the win when David Quinn netted from close-range in the final minute.
Glenanne's win over their Leinster rivals has moved them eight points clear of Instonians, who remain five points adrift of second-bottom Railway Union, with all three struggling sides having played the same number of matches.


A Lincolnshire coastal town is to feature in a national television advertising campaign, celebrating what Britain has to offer tourists.

Tourist board Visit England will be launching an advert to showcase areas of the country, including Skegness, where people would like to visit.
East Lindsey District Council said extra visitors would boost the economy.
The commercial would run between March and June on the back of forthcoming events such as the Olympic Games.
A celebrity-led 60 second commercial, promoting special deals across Britain, will be supported by a series of adverts focusing on specific destinations of which Skegness is one.
Councillor Craig Leyland, portfolio holder for the economy for the district council, said: "We need to raise the profile of our district and encourage more people to visit our area for the benefit of our economy and this campaign, coupled with our connections to London 2012, will help do just that.
"We must embrace 2012 and the opportunities it provides to promote our area and the excellent events we have planned through East Lindsey Live and SO Festival, plus the Olympic Torch Relay on June 27."
The advert would also run on the back of other events this year including the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and The Torch Relay.
Skegness attracts over four million visitors each year, generating over Â£450m for the local economy.
