Three new European brown bears have been revealed to the public at Dundee's Camperdown Wildlife Centre.

Brumm, Maja and Brumma had been kept out of view to allow them to acclimatise since arriving from KolmÃ¥rden Zoo in Sweden in November.
The 22-month-old siblings join Star, the centre's resident female bear.
Keeper Phil McCarlie-Davis said: "They don't seem fazed by the amount of people who are standing looking at them.
"Two of them seem quite happy to rumble about and play away and then we've got one who's fascinated with the people that are standing looking at her."
Mr McCarlie-Davis said Star's companion died last year, leading to the addition of the new trio.
He said: "In August of last year, we lost Comet our adult male, so that left Star on her own.
"We gave her a little while just to see how she would adjust, but it was felt that she could do with new companions.
"At the moment we have it set up in the den area so that they can see each other without actually getting to each other."
The four bears' interactions will be monitored, with the hope they can all eventually live together.
The keeper said: "At the moment, the young bears are very respectful of Star.
"Star is really keen to get to know them, so we're positive it's going in the right direction."


A snowplough driver at a Moscow airport has said he lost his bearings before a collision with a private plane in which Total boss Christophe de Margerie died.

Vladimir Martynenko told Russian TV he was unaware he had entered the runway.
Mr Margerie, 63, chief executive of the French oil firm, was killed in the crash along with three crew members.
Russian investigators have alleged that the driver of the snowplough was drunk at the time, but his family has denied this.
The Russian authorities have launched a criminal investigation. Mr Martynenko, 60, was detained after the crash, which took place in poor weather at Vnukovo airport, south-west of Moscow, at around midnight on Monday.
His family insisted he was not drunk. "My client has chronic heart disease, he doesn't drink at all," his lawyer Alexander Karabanov told Interfax news agency.
"When I lost my bearings I did not notice when I drove out on to the runway," Mr Martynenko told Russia's Channel One TV.
"The plane was preparing to take off, and I practically didn't see it or hear it because the machine was running. I didn't even see the lights, I did not see a thing, and then the crash happened."
Although there had been snow in Moscow, it was not thought to be lying thick on the ground when the Dassault Falcon plane clipped the snowplough and burst into flames.
Christophe de Margerie was one of France's leading industrialists and was returning to Paris, reportedly after a meeting on foreign investment with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at his country residence outside Moscow.
Total announced on Wednesday that his job would be taken over by Philippe Pouyanne, the current head of the company's refining and chemicals division.
Thierry Desmarest, who served as chairman and chief executive from 1995-2007, will become Total's chairman until the end of 2015, when Mr Pouyanne will take on both posts.
Mr de Margerie's trademark grey handlebar earned him the nickname "Big Moustache", and his was one of the most recognisable faces of the global oil industry.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he was an extraordinary business leader while President Francois Hollande praised his "independent character and original personality".
More recently, he had become an outspoken critic of European sanctions against Russia, arguing that such actions would simply push Russia closer to China.
Total, France's second-largest listed company, is one of the biggest foreign investors in Russia and is planning to double its output from the country by 2020.
Despite the sanctions, it has continued work on a liquefied natural gas project with Russian firm Novatek to tap vast natural gas reserves in north-western Siberia and it signed a deal in May with Lukoil to develop shale oil in western Siberia.
Investigators began looking at the plane's flight voice and data recorders on Wednesday, Ria Novosti reports. French investigators arrived in Moscow late on Tuesday to take part in the inquiry.
The role of air traffic controllers is likely to be part of the investigation.
Pictures from the scene show the driver of the snowplough looking shocked but walking unaided and without any obvious serious injury.


The leaders of Scotland's major political parties have largely been focusing on how best to reduce poverty levels and inequality as they continued campaigning ahead of the election on 5 May.

But there were lighter moments among the heavy policy discussions - with Ripley the fish eagle stealing the show during one political leader's visit to a falconry centre.
Elsewhere, UKIP became the first of the country's six largest parties to formally unveil its election manifesto.
Ms Sturgeon said that providing new nurseries would be "the biggest infrastructure project of the next government" if she is returned to power.
She said the move would enable her to meet her promise of doubling child care hours for three and four year olds.
Ms Sturgeon was speaking as she visited a project in Glasgow working with vulnerable and isolated families.
She also said the SNP manifesto next week would prioritise action to help the poor and disadvantaged.
Ms Dugdale was campaigning at a credit union in Paisley, where she repeated her commitment to asking the wealthiest in society to pay more tax to help the most disadvantaged.
She outlined her commitment to sign up in full to the recommendations of the Eisenstadt report, which was published in January and sets out 15 measures to lift people out of poverty.
Ms Dugdale said: "It's not good enough for Scottish politicians to talk about being anti-poverty when we have the opportunity to actually do something about it.
"Labour's plan is clear - we'll ask the wealthiest few to pay just a little bit more. The price of not doing that - more cuts, more jobs lost and more children living in poverty - is simply too great."
Ms Davidson was out on the campaign trail in Edinburgh, where she spoke about supporting the high street and local businesses while on a visit to a chocolate shop.
Ms Davidson said the party would be looking at flexible childcare for one and two-year-olds as part of its anti-poverty strategy.
She said the full details of the strategy would be revealed in the Conservative manifesto, which will be published next week.
Mr Rennie had a close encounter with Ripley the fish eagle as he paid a visit to a falconry centre in Fife.
He said his party would stand up for rural Scotland, which he said had been "badly let down" by the SNP.
He also promised the Lib Dems would give farmers the support they need by sorting out the delayed CAP payments, and ensure supermarkets pay a fair price for produce.
Mr Harvie visited a Street League project in Hamilton as he set out his plans to get more young people into work, education and training.
The initiative uses sport to help build young people's social skills, encouraging them into work and training.
The Scottish Greens have also launched their youth manifesto and have called for a commitment that every school leaver is offered a job, training or further education.
A similar commitment already exists in Edinburgh, and the Scottish Greens want to see it rolled out across Scotland.


Mansfield have signed defenders David Mirfin and Johnny Hunt on free transfers after their departures from Scunthorpe and Chester respectively.

Mirfin, 32, helped the Iron to the League One play-offs and played in their semi-final loss to Millwall.
"We were in a queue to speak to David. He is an outstanding centre-back," Stags boss Steve Evans said.
Hunt, 26, left Chester after two years with the National League club, having played 39 league games last term.
Like Mansfield's other eight summer signings to date, the lengths of their contracts have not been disclosed.

Taxpayers whose incomes top £1m a year would be forced to make their tax records public under Labour, shadow chancellor John McDonnell has said.

He claimed the measure, inspired by Norway and Sweden, would restore trust in the system and reduce tax avoidance.
He also called for a specific chunk of taxes raised to be "hypothecated" - earmarked - for the NHS.
The Conservatives said Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn had said he did not favour a hypothecated tax.
Chancellor Philip Hammond will deliver his first full budget next Wednesday.
Outlining his thinking in a pre-Budget speech, Mr McDonnell urged the chancellor to "reverse the £70bn giveaway to the super-rich and giant corporations between now and 2021".
He said under a Labour government "there'll be no place to hide for tax avoiders".
'Urgent need for cash'
"Building on the successful Nordic model, we'll introduce legislation to make public the tax returns of those earning over £1m," he said.
"Transparency and fairness is at the heart of building a decent, open society. This will help restore public trust in the tax system and help clampdown on any avoidance."
Mr McDonnell said Mr Hammond must give the NHS and social care "an urgent injection of cash" when he delivers his first Budget next week.
He said the chancellor cannot continue to claim credit for improving economic growth figures while leaving health and social care without the funds they need.
"The experience on the ground of patients, doctors and nurses is of a treasured institution already drifting into the greatest crisis in its history," he said.
"Current plans from the government do not come anywhere near close to addressing the scale of the crisis, so it is essential that they now bring forward plans to close the funding gap if we do not want to lose our NHS."
'End discrimination'
He urged the government to appoint a politically neutral body, such as the Office for Budget Responsibility, to assess the levels of funding needed for the NHS in the long term, with 10-year budgets that show taxpayers their contributions are well-spent.
"Hypothecation, allocating taxes raised to specific purposes, can make absolutely clear where tax money is being spent," he said.
He accused the Conservatives of adding £750bn to the national debt since 2010, while at the same time imposing the first spending cuts on schools for 40 years and cuts to social care amounting to £4.5bn since 2010 that "have brought the system to the brink of collapse".
Mr McDonnell also called on Mr Hammond to end the "discrimination" which had seen cuts to public services "disproportionately" affect women.
He said "the cruel £3.7bn cut to Personal Independence Payment for disabled people must be halted", and he pledged that Labour would introduce a £10-an-hour Real Living Wage "to make sure work always pays fairly".
In response, the Conservatives said Mr McDonnell's speech highlighted divisions within Labour on the economy - pointing to comments made by Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn about hypothecated taxes.
A Conservative spokesman said: "Labour have today shown what a shambles they are - with the shadow chancellor suggesting a way of funding the NHS the Labour leader says won't work.
"The truth is that a strong NHS needs a strong economy, and only a Conservative government can deliver that."
In January, Mr Corbyn told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "I am not one that's generally in favour of hypothecated taxation but I'm prepared to consider it and look at it. The party will obviously consider it and look at it."
Asked if there would be a specific tax to raise money for the NHS under Labour, he replied: "We would guarantee the funding for the NHS. Whether we'd have a specific tax I doubt, but I'm prepared to consider it and discuss it as I'm sure all my colleagues are. But if you go down the road of hypothecated taxation then you're going to do hypothecated taxation for every other service. That's an issue."


Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has thanked fans and colleagues for their "incredible" support since he was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in July.

The Nigeria international, 31, is undergoing chemotherapy.
"The support you've shown me has been incredible," said Ikeme in a video message played at Molineux before Saturday's 1-0 win over Middlesbrough.
"It's really helped me get through these first few weeks and will help me get through the rest of my treatment."

Wolves supporters held cards spelling Ikeme's name before kick-off, Wanderers players wore special T-shirts during their warm-up and the cover of the match programme - designed by ex-Wolves captain Jody Craddock - featured images of the goalkeeper.
Several events raising funds for Birmingham-based charity Cure Leukaemia have been staged since Ikeme's diagnosis, including a 24-hour penalty shoot-out and a sponsored walk before Saturday's game.
The season opener also gave Middlesbrough the chance to show their support for Boro academy player Anthony Renton, who was also diagnosed with leukaemia in July.

A former soldier who went out dressed as Colonel Gaddafi is facing jail for biting off a man's ear.

Geraint Jones, 25, bit Gwynant Jones after approaching him from behind at the Academy bar in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, on 31 October 2015.
Swansea Crown Court heard Jones did not intend to bite the ear off, saying it happened when he was pulled away.
Jones, from Aberystwyth, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm but was cleared of doing it with intent.
He said: "When I approached him, my intention was to bite his ear. It's a horrible thing to do but it was not my intention to bite it off.
"My intention was to bite his ear in order to shock him."
Prosecutor Ian Wright said: "He approached from behind and placed his hands on his shoulder before biting his left ear - ripping the lower section off."
Mr Jones was dressed as Colonel Gaddafi, the former leader of Libya, as part of a "bad taste" pub crawl.
Jurors were told Mr Jones' ear lobe was found on the floor by a barman, but it could not be reattached.
James Hartson, defending, said: "Before this incident, he is not a man who is known for being violent.
"He has described what he did as disgusting and reprehensible, he is not for a moment excusing his behaviour."
The court heard Jones had been in the army but left the forces to take up history and politics studies.
"He has worked in some of the most dangerous and hostile places in the world," added Mr Hartson.
Gwynant Jones, a mobile app designer from Machynlleth, Powys, said: "All I can remember is being at the bar and then suddenly feeling a lot of pain.
"I leaned forward and I think that's when my ear must have ripped off and I saw lots of blood."
Judge Geraint Walters released Jones on bail, telling him to expect jail when he is sentenced in March.
"The custody threshold is well past," he said. "His behaviour that night was quite bizarre, it's a very rare form of violence.
"This young man was completely innocent. He hadn't put a foot out of line or said a word, but he lost a significant part of his ear, which may or may not be reconstructed."


Residents in a Teesside street are being filmed for the next series of controversial TV show Benefits Street.

Crews from Love Productions are filming on Kingston Road in Stockton for the Channel Four show, which follows people living off benefits.
The area's MP said participants were being exploited, while one woman said 90% of residents work.
But the team behind the show said they were giving a voice to people that "don't really have a voice".
Labour's Stockton North MP Alex Cunningham told BBC Tees he was "deeply disappointed" Kingston Road had been chosen for the show.
He said: "This is about exploiting people, about making television, growing audiences and selling advertising."
Channel 4's head of documentaries Nick Mirsky, who has commissioned the new series, said: "Benefits Street fits perfectly with Channel 4's remit of producing programming that stimulates discussion and debate, the first series did this on a national scale.
"It brought a very human focus to an issue that is at the heart of who we are in Britain today. I'm sure the new series will advance that debate and introduce viewers to a new group of compelling residents."
Love Production's creative director for factual, Kieran Smith, added: "Like many places in the UK, Stockton has been hit hard by the recession and economic decline.
"Those who are reliant on welfare for the majority of their income are some of the hardest hit.
"We have been invited to share in the lives of the residents of one street where many people rely on benefits to survive.
BBC Tees reporter Andy Bell visited the street to speak to residents, but a film crew he met refused to speak to him.
Residents he spoke to said it was up to those taking part how they portray themselves.
One woman said she believed they were only filming two families, adding: "We worked out the other week that 90% of the people in the street work so I can't understand why they are filming."
Benefits Street sparked controversy when the first series filmed on James Turner Street in Birmingham aired in January.


This weekend marks 500 years since the Duke of Bavaria introduced the "Reinheitsgebot" or purity law - strict rules controlling what can go into beer.

And beer lovers across Germany will be celebrating at events (read: subsidised drinking opportunities) to mark the anniversary of the famous food law.
As Chancellor Angela Merkel partakes of an obligatory Pils with German brewers in the Bavarian town of Ingolstadt, the BBC's Claudia Allen takes a look at the Reinheitsgebot, and what it means for German beer today.
The decree known as the Reinheitsgebot, issued in Ingolstadt in 1516, had three aims: to protect drinkers from high prices; to ban the use of wheat in beer so more bread could be made; and to stop unscrupulous brewers from adding dubious toxic and even hallucinogenic ingredients as preservatives or flavourings.
They included herbs and spices such as rosemary and caraway, henbane, thorn-apple, wood shavings, roots, soot or even pitch, according to the German Brewers' Association (DBB).
Duke Wilhelm IV's beer purity regulation of 1516, which was preceded by earlier rules on beer production, was gradually implemented in other parts of southern Germany. It eventually became law in the north and thus the whole country in 1906.
The DBB claims that the Reinheitsgebot is the oldest currently valid consumer protection law in the world.
The original law limited ingredients to just barley, hops and water.
The exact role of yeast in alcoholic fermentation was not understood at the time and it was only later that brewers were able to add the micro-organism as a specific ingredient.
The production of wheat beers remained limited in Bavaria for centuries but is now allowed.
So the law now states that malted grains, hops, water and yeast may be used - but nothing else.
Beers brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot have special status under European Union laws as a protected traditional foodstuff.

The country with one people and 1,200 sausages
However European law means that the German brewing industry has had to accept that beers brewed elsewhere not in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot can be sold in the country.
Germany exports 1.5 billion litres of beer every year, and the country is pretty proud of its beer and the purity law.
But not all German brewers are happy with the restrictions, as Spiegel Online reports; some say they lead to uniformity and encourage industrial-scale production rather than innovation in the industry.
The Munich Oktoberfest is the world's largest beer festival, bringing millions to the Bavarian capital every autumn.
Most gluten-free beers use maize or rice instead of barley or wheat - these are free of the troublesome gluten but not allowed under the German Reinheitsgebot.
But there is good news for beer-loving coeliacs - a new beer which the manufacturers claim (in German) is the first gluten-free beer brewed under the Reinheitsgebot has just been launched.
It uses a new Australian barley which is low in gluten, but the beer is only available in Germany at the moment.
Fear not, German brewers are able to make alcohol-free beer using just the four ingredients. Either alcohol production is inhibited during the fermentation process, or the alcohol is subsequently removed.
Yes. In Germany home brewers producing up to 200 litres a year, and not selling it, do not have to pay tax on their beer, and do not have to keep to the purity regulations. But go easy on the henbane.


A woman with paranoid schizophrenia who killed her mother has lost a High Court claim against her former NHS carers.

Ecila Henderson stabbed 69-year-old Rosemary Armstrong 22 times when her mother came to visit her at her flat in Pokesdown, Bournemouth, in August 2010.
Henderson, who is detained in a mental health unit, claimed more than Â£300,000 from the trust, saying the death arose from inadequate care.
Her barrister said he hoped to appeal against the ruling.
Following the stabbing, Henderson was disarmed by a police officer after being spotted carrying a bloodstained knife in the street.
An independent inquiry later criticised the care she received from her health trust.
The inquiry said a health worker had reported Henderson's condition had deteriorated before the killing, but steps to recall her to inpatient care were inadequate.
Henderson was later convicted of manslaughter by way of diminished responsibility.
She sued Dorset Healthcare University Foundation Trust for a range of losses, including her inheritance from her mother and her time incarcerated.
Legal firm DAC Beachcroft, defending the trust, said Henderson, now aged 45, was seeking to overturn a legal principle which prohibits a person from recovering damages for the consequences of their crimes.
It said it successfully argued that the principle, known as illegality, still applied where claimants had any degree of criminal responsibility in the case.


Teachers recruited during a recession and a tougher jobs market are more likely to get better results for their pupils, says a study.

The researchers say in an economic decline, with pressure on employment, teaching attracts more talented staff.
Academics analysed results in more than 30,000 schools in Florida in the US and found higher scores in classes taught by teachers hired in the recession.
They also say it shows higher pay "would improve teacher quality".
The study from the National Bureau of Economic Research in the US examines how the recession and a tighter jobs market affected the quality of recruits into teaching.
The analysis, to be presented at the the European Economic Association in Mannheim in Germany, found that teaching attracted more talented graduates at times when other employment opportunities were worsening.
And when looking at exam results, pupils on average did better in classes taught by teachers hired during a recession.
This compared 5,200 teachers in Florida state schools who started during a recession and 27,800 teachers who started in non-recessionary times.
"Teachers who entered the profession during recessions are significantly more effective than teachers who entered the profession during non-recessionary periods," concluded the study.
During a recession, other careers could seem more insecure, offered fewer opportunities or could have reduced pay, which would push a higher number of "able individuals" towards teaching.
This economic analysis argues that this suggests that increasing teachers pay would attract higher-quality recruits, which is linked to higher results.
"Our results provide the strongest evidence to date that making teaching wages more attractive would improve teacher quality," said authors Markus Nagler, Marc Piopiunik and Martin West.
"What's more, while no-one would hope for an economic downturn, recessions do seem to provide a window of opportunity for the government to hire teachers who would otherwise have not chosen this career path."
A separate study for the National Bureau of Economic Research, also being presented at the European Economic Association conference, shows how the level of learning of teachers influences the outcomes for pupils.
Research into the value of "smarter teachers", such as their ability levels in literacy and numeracy, can mean a year's difference in the results of pupils.


A teenager caught in the Hillsborough disaster tried in vain to save her younger sister as the crush worsened, a jury has heard.

The new inquests are focusing on the final moments of Sarah Hicks, 19, and her 15-year-old sister Vicki.
Witnesses said they saw Vicki crying and "in distress" on the terraces.
A fan who tried to pull Sarah out of the pen recalled she shouted for people to help her younger sister and there was "total terror" on her face.
The sisters were among 96 fans who died following a crush at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989.
They had travelled to the stadium in Sheffield with their parents, Trevor and Jenni Hicks.
Trevor was in a less crowded pen on the Leppings Lane end terraces while their mother had a seat in the North Stand.
The jury saw CCTV images of the girls and their father going through the turnstiles at 13:53.
Sarah and Vicki were also seen standing together in pen three, behind the goal, from 14:38.
In a statement, Shaun Fortune, a Liverpool fan who stood near them, said: "The dark-haired girl [Vicki] was crying and seemed in distress.
"There were a few police standing just in front of the pen and the crowd were trying to attract their attention to tell them that this girl was in trouble, but they didn't seem to hear."
Jeffrey Rex, a friend of Mr Fortune, told the jury he was standing behind the girls.
He said a fan next to them in the crowd turned around and shouted to those behind them: "Push back, push back, [the two girls] are in trouble.
"He did this for several minutes and there's no doubt his intention was to try to protect the two girls. The crush had got to such a level where there's nothing anybody could do."
Mr Rex recalled seeing Sarah holding Vicki up by her arms and could see the younger of the two girls "was deteriorating" and "affected very badly by the crush".
He said Vicki "may have been unconscious" and her head was tilted to one side.
Alan Brookes told how he was immediately behind the girls on the terrace and "very shortly before kick-off" they were "sweating profusely", their "faces were very flushed" and "were obviously in trouble ."
He said at one stage the gate leading out of the pen was opened and some people spilled out on to the pitch before it was closed again.
"We had been surging backwards and forwards and you were just trying to fight for your life," he said.
"One minute [the girls were] there, we went forward again in another surge and they weren't there."
Another supporter, Brian Doyle, managed to escape the terraces and then tried to rescue people from the pens.
The jury saw images of him on top of the fence separating the crowd from the pitch between 15:06 and 15:08, just after the match was stopped.
He reached into the pen and tried to grab one of the girls - believed to be Sarah - who he said was still conscious.
Mr Doyle said: "I couldn't get her off the floor. I just had hold of her hand and she was crying for someone to help her sister.
"She shouted 'can someone help my sister?' then she was just crying, sobbing and her face showed "total terror".
He said: "Then people were grabbing my hand and I just lost her."
Liverpool fan Paul Taylor briefly tried to give Vicki mouth-to-mouth resuscitation but said her body was "limp" and "lifeless" and he "naturally assumed that she had already died".
The jury saw footage showing her being lifted from pen three into pen two at 15:27.
Mr Hicks has previously said that he saw Vicki being passed out of the pen and rushed to her side on the pitch. Sarah was eventually laid down next to her sister.
A police officer who rode with Vicki and her father in an ambulance said that they were "optimistic of the best outcome for Vicki".
Peter McGuinness said medics at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital worked on her for "three to five minutes" before telling him that she was dead.
He continued: "I recall that the treatment didn't appear to be particularly intensive... it was more general sorts of checks, is my recollection of what they were doing."
The jury heard how he then told Mr Hicks his youngest daughter had died.

The inquests, sitting in Warrington, Cheshire, are due to resume on Tuesday.


The US has deported a Rwandan academic, accused of being a key figure in the 1994 genocide, to his home country.

Leopold Munyakazi's deportation came after he lost a long-running legal battle to gain asylum in the US.
He is accused of wearing banana leaves during the genocide to identify himself as a Hutu, and of organising night raids on the homes of families from the rival Tutsi ethnic group.
Mr Munyakazi, a former university professor, has denied the allegations.
Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered by Hutu militias in just 100 days in 1994
Mr Munyakazi fled to the US in 2004.
Rwanda has since demanded his extradition, saying it wanted to try him on charges of genocide and conspiracy to committing genocide.
He has been accused, by the government-backed National Commission for the Fight against Genocide, of ordering Hutu militiamen to hunt down Tutsis and of personally shooting dead a man named Ugirashebuja Felicien Kirwa in the area of Kirwa in south-eastern Rwanda.
The commission also accuses him of promoting hatred and writing an article in 1991 in which he called for Tutsis to be given only 10% representation in schools and jobs.
Mr Munyakazi insists that he is a moderate Hutu who helped Tutsis during the genocide.


Spain is likely to miss its budget targets for this year and Madrid should adopt wider reforms to reduce its debts, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Spain is implementing drastic spending cuts to try to slash its budget deficit to 5.3% from 8.5% in 2011.
Many economists said the target was always unrealistic.
Last weekend, Spain was given 100bn euros ($125bn; Â£80bn) in emergency loans to help its struggling banks.
The IMF said Spain needed to raise revenue from taxes, and look at further spending cuts. However, it added that Madrid should not look to cut its deficit too quickly given "an unprecedented double-dip recession with unemployment already high".
Spain has the highest unemployment rate in the eurozone, with almost one in four workers out of a job.
Earlier this year, the government announced 27bn euros of cuts from its budget as part of one of the toughest austerity drives in the country's history.
Changes included freezing unemployment benefits and public sector workers' salaries, slashing departmental budgets and increasing tax on large companies.
But the spending cuts and tax rises have undermined the economic recovery in Spain. The country is back in recession and its banks are severely under-capitalised given the collapse in the Spanish property market.
The 100bn-euro bailout has failed to restore confidence in the country's economy, with the interest rate, or yield, paid on government bonds traded in the secondary market hitting 7% on Thursday, a level widely seen as unsustainable.
Bond yields in the secondary market are seen as a good indication of investor's confidence in a government's ability to repay its debts.


With a flourish of his hand, the uniformed security guard waves us down the private road that leads to the newest city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The King Abdullah Economic City, (KAEC, pronounced "cake") is one of four new cities upon which the late monarch pinned his hopes for the future of his realm once the oil runs out.
Peppered with cranes, the city - or building site to be more accurate - lies one-and-a-half hour's drive north of Jeddah between the Red Sea and scrubby desert.
Its future depends on balancing the complex and evolving transport, health, education, housing and employment requirements of the city's projected two million residents.
According to Fahd Al-Rasheed, the managing director of Emaar Economic City, the publicly traded Saudi company that runs the entire KAEC project, the new generation of Saudis expect a city that matches the modern lifestyle they have grown used to while studying abroad.
"We're building with the 65% of the population who are under 30 in mind," he explains. "And we have almost 200,000 Saudis studying abroad. Inevitably they are going to change things when they come back."
These statistics are compounded by the fact that more women than men graduate from university. These changing demographics are bringing with them new social demands that will likely revolutionise how the country develops.
At 70 sq miles KAEC will eventually be a metropolis slightly larger than Washington DC and at a cost of $100bn (Â£67bn), mostly from private funding, the King Abdullah Economic City is second to none in the grandeur of its vision.
"We aim to create one of the world's largest ports," says Rayan Bukhari, a young manager at the King Abdullah port.
"We're not competing with Jeddah's Islamic port - but we are going to take business away from Jebel Ali in Dubai. That's because of our quicker, more automated offloading and customs procedure."
According to Mr Bukhari, King Abdullah was determined to involve the private sector in the economic development of the country; casting aside tribal and regional rivalries in the interests of creating a modern business economy.
"Freight arriving at the port will be taken directly to the capital via the new land bridge," he explains, "At the moment lots of products destined for Riyadh are shipped to Dubai, but that will change. They'll be shipped here as it is cheaper - and can be delivered more quickly within the Kingdom."
Speed is integral to KAEC's vision for future. With Mecca and Medina on the high speed train network that links KAEC with the two holy cities, well-heeled Umrah (pilgrimage to Mecca) pilgrims are expected to visit the city as they travel from the place where the Prophet was born to the place where he is buried.
"The Haramain station is due to open by the end of the year," says Fahd Al-Rasheed, "That train service will alter a lot of things for us."
The station is designed by British architect Norman Foster, famed for London's "Gherkin" skyscraper and the Reichstag Dome in Berlin.
It is expected to reduce the journey time from Jeddah to 30 minutes and bring religious tourists to the city on extended pilgrim visas.
And as Jeddah becomes ever more clogged with cars, KAEC claim's it will limit fuel emissions by providing electric cars for use within the city free of charge.
It has, however, not been entirely plain sailing for the country's newest city.
Even though KAEC is developed and managed by the private sector and is listed on the Saudi stock exchange (Tadawul), economic realities in the Gulf have hit home and necessitated a government loan amid the current fall in oil prices and the more widespread economic downturn.
The speed of social change in the kingdom is also making itself felt for what has become a fluid master plan.
"We've altered our plan four times already," confirms Head of Strategic Planning Tareq Salaita, "We may well need to have another rethink."
Creating a massive new city that is able to encourage enterprise in a practical way has up-ended the usual rigmarole of applying for permissions.
The government has set up an Economic Cities Authority overseeing all four megacities and dealing with every licence, construction permit and approval needed from different ministries. This time-saving move should help the hundred companies that are setting up in KAEC avoid costly delays.
So far only 15% of the city has been developed - industrial estates, residential districts and public facilities are currently under construction.
Ninety kilometres of roads are already in use but what about the thorny question of women driving? In 20 years when KAEC is due to be completed, will females be behind the wheel?
According to Dania Beidas, who lives and works in the city during the week, in two decades the question may well be irrelevant.
"I hope that we will be allowed to drive here eventually," she says. "But with driverless cars in the pipeline, it may not matter any more."


Derek McInnes has challenged Aberdeen to deliver an era of success at the club by winning the League Cup for a second time in three seasons.

McInnes's side reached next month's final by defeating Greenock Morton 2-0 in the semi-final at Hampden.
The Dons will play either Rangers or Celtic in the final.
"I want the players to feel it's a sustained period of success rather than one trophy in four or five years," McInnes said.
"I want us to make sure people look back on this period and say this was a team that always put itself in a position to win trophies. We made it clear at the start of the season that our objective is to win trophies and we're 90 minutes away from that now."

McInnes felt his side were deserved winners over their Championship opponents, despite periods of the game when Morton threatened and Aberdeen lacked a cutting edge.
Jonny Hayes and Adam Rooney both hit the bar with headers in the first half, but it was the 69th minute before Rooney eventually made the breakthrough, scoring from an offside position.
Kenny McLean added a second goal with two minutes remaining, and McInnes was full of praise for Morton but also the perseverance and composure of his own players.
"Sometimes when you play against a team that's working so hard to put out fires and keep us away from their goal, if you keep working them side to side and asking questions of them and their organisation then something will happen," McInnes said.
"Morton deserve a lot of credit, but my players deserve a lot of credit for having the patience and wherewithal to keep going and keep trying to get the job done, and the best team won - the team that created the most chances and the team that set out to take the initiative."
Morton manager Jim Duffy said his side confounded predictions they would be overwhelmed by Aberdeen, although he was frustrated Rooney's opener was offside.
"I've been told that the first goal was offside and if it was then that's going to stick in the throat," Duffy said. "Believe me, if there's an offside call [in the Rangers v Celtic semi-final] then they'll make a big deal of it.
"Most people thought it would be a canter so we wanted to make sure it wasn't. The players did themselves justice.
"Aberdeen deserved to win and good luck to them. But if it is a contentious goal then that just makes it a little bit more painful."


A British Army officer killed in an explosion in southern Afghanistan on Friday has been named by the Ministry of Defence.

Lt Daniel Clack, of 1st Battalion The Rifles, died as he led a foot patrol in the Shaparak area of the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province.
The family of the engaged 24-year-old from north London said he was "brave" and would be "forever missed".
A total of 379 UK troops have died in Afghan military operations since 2001.
Five of Lt Clack's comrades were also injured in the explosion, which took place 150 metres from the entrance to the checkpoint he commanded.
The MoD said Lt Clack had become "immensely popular" with his Riflemen and was known as a "man of integrity".
After graduating from Exeter University, he worked in Switzerland as driver for a ski chalet company, before joining the Army in May 2009.
He was commissioned from Sandhurst into The Rifles in 2010, and had served with C Company as 8 Platoon Commander since his arrival in Afghanistan in April this year.
Described as a keen sportsman, Lt Clack represented both Sandhurst and his battalion at rugby.
Lt Clack's family said: "Dan was a brave Rifleman and he died doing the only profession he ever considered. He loved leading his Riflemen and was so proud to be an officer in the British Army.
"There are no words to describe our loss. He will be forever missed by his mother, father, brother, fiancee and all those who knew him. He will always be in our hearts."
Lt Clack's commanding officer, Lt Col James de Labilliere, said he had "demonstrated a courage and bravery that was profound and inspiring".
He added: "His parting has come too soon, by far. Dan had so much to give, so much to look forward to and so many opportunities ahead of him. The Rifles has been denied one of our best, and a professional commander for the future has been taken from us."
At the time of his death Lt Clack was leading a patrol to the village of Dactran to discuss a meeting of elders planned for the next day.
Major Bill Eden, Officer Commanding C Company, 1 Rifles, said in Nahr-e Saraj that Lt Clack had established a "deep rapport with the population, which continues to grow in recognition of the improvements made to the area".
There were also tributes from his comrades in 8 Platoon.
Acting Serjeant Daniel Field, said he would "miss the energy and enthusiasm he brought to the job" while Acting Serjeant Paul Nancolis said he had given him "great confidence from the type of soldier he was and the type of soldier he could have been".
Lt Michael Evans, from 2nd Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles, who knew Lt Clack at Sandhurst, said: "He was always a man you could turn to when you needed a competent pair of hands, balanced with a cheeky comeback. I never knew him sorry for himself, he would rather make a situation his own than worry or wallow."


Victims of undercover police spying have condemned the decision not to extend the Pitchford Inquiry on the matter to Scotland.

Policing minister Brandon Lewis said it was "not possible" to extend the remit of the probe of undercover policing.
The Scottish government said it was "extremely disappointed" by the decision and opposition MSPs hit out.
A joint statement from victims said the decision "sets the inquiry up to fail before it even begins".
The Pitchford Inquiry was set up in England and Wales to investigate allegations of misconduct by undercover officers, with claims some had fathered children and caused miscarriages of justice.
It is claimed that undercover Metropolitan Police officers were also involved in spying in Scotland, with Mark Kennedy, one of five officers known to have had relationships with women, alleged to have infiltrated environmental groups ahead of the G8 summit at Gleneagles in 2005.
However, Mr Lewis told Scottish Labour MSP Neil Findlay there were a "number of reasons" why the probe could not be extended north of the border, saying there was a risk it could be "acting outside of its powers" as defined in its terms of reference.
He said then Home Secretary Theresa May, who has since become prime minster, had "carefully considered" requests to extend the inquiry, but said it was important that the inquiry proceeded "swiftly and make recommendations as soon as possible".
However, a group of seventeen victims said they were "extremely frustrated" by the decision, saying officers identified in the inquiry were "active in Scotland for several decades".
Their statement continued: "We have all been personally chosen as core participants because we were significantly targeted by officers in England and Wales.
"We were also all spied upon in Scotland. We cannot have faith in the ability of the inquiry to deliver an opportunity for truth and justice when it is prevented from fully establishing what happened to us."
One of the group, Merrick Cork, added: "It's outrageous that Theresa May thinks victims of police abuse deserve justice in England but not in Scotland.
"The police admit English officers committed human rights abuses against citizens on Scottish soil. It's absurd to expect public trust in police when abuses of power are swept under the carpet, and it's a snub to Scotland to say it doesn't matter there."
The group called on the Scottish government to continue pressing for the inquiry to be extended, and to look into setting up a probe of its own - something backed by Mr Findlay.
His calls for the inquiry to be extended were backed by MSPs, MPs and MEPs from Labour, the Greens, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems, while Lib Dem MP Alistair Carmichael won backing from SNP MPs when he lodged a similar motion at Westminster.
Mr Findlay said it would be "completely and utterly unjust" for Scottish victims to be "denied access to the truth".
A spokesman said the Scottish government was considering its next steps following the "extremely disappointing" decision.
He said: "We continue to believe that a single inquiry across the UK is the most effective approach to provide a comprehensive and coherent investigation into these matters.
"This narrower approach risks doing a disservice to people in Scotland affected by the activities of a force which falls under the oversight of the Home Office. We will now consider how best to take this matter forward."
Mr Lewis's letter to Mr Findlay said: "The inquiry as it stands is extensive and complex, with around 200 core participants. Amending the terms of reference at this stage would require further consultation and delay the progress of the inquiry.
"In the interests of learning lessons from past failures and improving public confidence, it is important that the inquiry can proceed swiftly and make recommendations as soon as possible.
"The Home Office is confident the inquiry can both gain an understanding of historical failings and make recommendations to ensure unacceptable practices are not repeated without a need to consider every instance of undercover policing, wherever it was taken."


A healthcare worker who stole cash and jewellery from vulnerable cancer patients has been jailed.

Jacqueline Perry, 49, was caught after colleagues at Swansea's Morriston Hospital became suspicious about items disappearing.
Perry, from Morriston, had admitted nine counts of theft from semi-conscious patients at an earlier hearing.
She was jailed for 16 months at Swansea Crown Court on Friday.
Perry was caught after police set up a sting operation which involved placing marked bank notes around Ward G.
When one disappeared, officers searched staff and it was found in her possession.
Perry stole a total of £2,739, which included three gold rings worth £1,800 from an 89-year-old patient.
The thefts had a major impact on Perry's colleagues, the court heard.
In a statement, lead nurse Tina Smith said: "The patients were quite sick and quite vulnerable. It was busy and demanding work.
"The thefts had a massive impact on morale because staff were all under suspicion."
The court heard that Perry stole the money to pay for alcohol for her husband.
Stephen Rees, defending, said the offences were "not motivated through greed, but by financial hardship".
He also told the court a disciplinary hearing would follow the court proceedings and it was "inevitable" that she would lose her job.
Recorder Christopher Clee QC called her actions "a despicable offence".
Perry sobbed in the dock as Mr Clee told her he had no good reason to suspend the sentence.
He told her she will serve half of the sentence in prison and half on licence.
In a statement, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board said it hoped the sentence would "act as a deterrent" to others.
"Theft from patients or staff in hospitals is not only a serious criminal offence, but a severe breach of trust, which ABMU health board will not tolerate," the statement said.
"We can only apologise to the victims of these thefts, and the distress this former employee's actions have undoubtedly caused."
Perry's victims included:


Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has signed a new law which sets tough new penalties for the killing of women and girls.

Murders linked to domestic violence will carry sentences of between 12 and 30 years.
President Rousseff said the new law sends a clear message to women that the state would protect them.
She said 15 women were killed daily in Brazil.
In other cases - such as the killing of a pregnant woman, a woman who's just given birth, girls under 14, or women over 60 - the new law provides for even longer jail terms.
The new legislation alters the criminal code to describe femicide as any crime that involves domestic violence, contempt or discrimination against women.
Similar legislation has been introduced in other Latin American countries such as El Salvador, which has the highest murder rate for women in the world.
The Representative of UN Women in Brazil, Nadine Gasman, said "the law identifies femicide as a specific phenomena.  This kind of law is preventive in nature."
The new legislation deepens legislation sanctioned in 2006 by President Rousseff's predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Known as the "Maria da Penha" law, it paid tribute to Maria da Penha Maia, a woman whose ex-husband beat her for 14 years and attempted to murder her twice, leaving her paraplegic.
She is a notable figure in the movement for women's rights in Brazil.
The "Maria da Penha"  law stated that aggressors were no longer to be punished with alternative sentences.
It increased the maximum sentence from one to three years.
It also ordered the removal of abusers from the home and banned them from proximity to the woman or children attacked.
During her term in office, President Rousseff has enacted other laws aimed at women and girls.
In August 2013,  she signed legislation requiring all public hospitals to provide treatment against sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/Aids for rape victims.
It requires that victims be given access to emergency contraception, and in the case of pregnancy they have the right to an abortion, illegal in Brazil in most cases.


A year or two on rugby's Sevens World Series, enthuses Colin Gregor, the former Scotland captain and veteran of over 50 tournaments, is a priceless apprenticeship for a young professional.

And until relatively recently, that's just about all it was - a round-the-world secondment to focus the mind, sharpen the skills and strengthen the lungs for the fifteen-a-side game. Not to mention fortify the liver at the booze-ups for which the circuit is notorious.
For the audience, it was frenetic, but fleeting entertainment. The domain of the super-fit and the super-fast. Bite-sized matches, bursting with chaos and flair, but fading away with the ensuing hangover.
No longer, though, is sevens rugby's also-ran. Since booking its berth in Rio, representing the sport on the Olympic stage for the first time in 92 years, the abbreviated game is booming.
Piloting Team GB in Brazil is Simon Amor, for years a World Series veteran for England, and now their head coach.
Amor's intention was to fill his boots with Six Nations heavyweights but the intricacies of international regulations and the physical pummelling wrought on these players over the season forced a rethink.
His squad is peppered with the Englishmen he knows and trusts, captained by Tom Mitchell. There are two Welshmen and two Scots. One of them, Mark Bennett, is the sole player befitting so-called marquee status. The other, Mark Robertson, is a full-time sevens international.
On that front, perhaps, there is a collective stab of regret.
Consider, for instance, a Team GB bristling with the ballast of Welsh winger, George North, the twinkling feet of England's Jack Nowell, or the swagger of Stuart Hogg, Scotland's rapier.
But the leap from fifteens to sevens has claimed several major casualties - Springbok Bryan Habana, third on the all-time list of Test try-scorers, and Australian playmaker Quade Cooper were both deemed surplus to requirements for Rio.
"I think that shows how advanced sevens is as a game, and the conditioning the sevens guys have gone through to get to that level," says Gregor.
"The top fifteens players, you would expect, could just cruise into a sevens team. Ideally for his training squad, Simon Amor would've liked a few more high-profile guys.
"But it would've been difficult to drop them in at the end of May, have a six or eight week training period, and be up to speed for the Olympics.
"It is a disappointment - what you hope is, the Olympics makes some superstars out of the sevens players in their own right, so you don't need to rely on fifteens guys to get more appeal or publicity."
Gregor reckons the Scottish operation he helped mould as unpaid devotee, canny playmaker and eventually veteran skipper could use a little more TLC, a few extra players to jostle for selection - there's a feeling in the squad, he says, that if you're fit, you'll play.
The Scottish Rugby Union only instated a full-time enterprise in 2011 and considered revoking that status last year when Glasgow was discarded as a World Series venue.
While the enthralling maiden Series victory in London two months ago may have reddened a face or two in the Murrayfield corridors of power, it failed to move Amor sufficiently to alter his selection.
Gregor's disappointment for former team-mates is overshadowed by a gnawing concern at the broader complexion of Team GB.
"I thought Scotland were the form home nation at the tail-end of the World Series," he says. "All the feedback from training from people I've spoken to, the Scottish guys all acquitted themselves very well.
"It's basically come down to Simon Amor going with what he knows, and even if players aren't playing well, he's thought, well, I know they can play well, and he's backing them on that element of trust.
"He's gone with a lot of individuals - I don't think there's a lot of glue. That's where someone like (Scotland stalwart) Scott Riddell would come in, because he would facilitate others.
"You need to have these X-factor players, but you can't have all of them, you need a blend."
Sevens is faster than the fifteen-a-side format. More tries are scored; more 'wow' moments.
By and large, it removes the perplexing maelstrom of rucks and mauls and scrummages that can baffle even the most seasoned observers.
Fewer international disparities exist - teams like Kenya, Canada and the USA are regularly successful even against the illustrious heartlands of the game.
Sevens is proliferating across the world, gobbling up athletes from all manner of backgrounds. Sprinters, netballers, American footballers - they're all pursuing their Olympic dreams on the rugby pitch in Rio.
Now the game is the beneficiary of huge global exposure.
So, could what was once a lager-sodden sideshow one day upstage its storied big brother as rugby's main event?
"You've got two different markets," considers Gregor. "You've got the traditional rugby strongholds - New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Britain, France - then you've got the rest of the world.
"It's far easier for a team to become successful at sevens than fifteens - mainly around how technical a game it is, and to get all that expertise takes a number of years and a lot of resources.
"Whereas if you've got a group of fit individuals that you can up-skill a bit, that you can get working as a team, then you've got not far off the basis of a successful sevens team.
"It then depends on what World Rugby wants: do they want the traditional fifteen-a-side game that's dominated by a fairly small number of countries, or do they want this proper, international, all-action, anyone-can-win-a-tournament kind of game?
"I think for rugby to grow worldwide, sevens is the way to do it. The way the world is now, everything's about shorter times, it's about being immediately engaged.
"The problem with sevens is, days are too long - you can't have an eight-hour day for a tournament, you need to whittle that right down, so you've got fifteen-minute games, but you're only there for a couple of hours each day.
"If they can find a package like that, I think that's the one that will really take off."


It is fair to say that Johannesburg still has a fearsome reputation.

The largest city in South Africa, it has endured appallingly high crime rates for decades.
This has been particularly the case for Johannesburg's inner city area, which from the 1990s onwards was abandoned by companies and middle class residents who fled to the northern suburbs and the increased security of gated communities.
Back in the early 2000s, in one part of the inner city called Maboneng photographers from the Star newspaper were able to capture images of car-jackings by simply learning out of their office windows.
Full of empty, derelict warehouses that had been built in the first three decades of the 20th Century, Maboneng was a forbidding and dilapidated place.
You would not have wanted to go there in daytime, and under no circumstances at night.
Yet since 2008, Maboneng - which means "Place of Light" in Sotho, one of South Africa's 11 official languages - has been staging a remarkable rebirth.
The area has being transformed into a fashionable destination, with the warehouses being turned into hotels, shops, cinemas, art galleries, bars, a youth hostel and apartments. And crime rates have fallen sharply.
Helping to lead the redevelopment is 33-year-old South African entrepreneur Jonathan Liebmann, who is the founder and chief executive of property development company Propertuity at the forefront of Maboneng's metamorphosis.
Mr Liebmann bought his first property in Johannesburg when he was 19, a flat which he renovated and then sold for a profit, and has never looked back.
In 2007, aged just 24, he set up Propertuity, and a year later the firm bought its first building in Maboneng. It has now developed close to 40 sites in the area.
"We specialise in taking a holistic, neighbourhood approach," he says.
Growing up in Durban and Johannesburg, Mr Liebmann studied business and accounting at Monash University in Johannesburg.
He had already shown his entrepreneurship mettle at school, where he organised discos, but it was travelling the world in his gap year between school and university which he says provided the inspiration for his future property firm.
Travelling around Europe, Asia and the Middle East, he says he was fascinated by how conurbations outside of South Africa made much better use of their city centres - particularly the fact that people actually lived in them.
"I got very inspired about cities, and the way that people use cities optimally, as opposed to the way people use cities in South Africa, which is basically that people don't really use cities properly," says Mr Liebmann.
"When I see that things are done properly, be it Tokyo, New York, Sydney - best practice examples - I appropriate and customise them, so they are locally relevant [to Johannesburg]."
Returning to South Africa after his travels, Mr Liebmann's first business venture was a number of mobile coffee shops, thanks to money from family and friends.
He then set up a chain of 17 launderettes, but keen to focus on property development, he sold this business to use the funds to launch Propertuity.
"At one point I was running lots of businesses, and had property happening on the side. Eventually it became my main business."
Subsequently growing the business with the help of bank loans, Propertuity now employs 85 people and has a property portfolio worth more than 1bn South African rand ($65m; Â£45m).
A key component of Propertuity's redevelopment work has been commissioning - and paying for - giant artwork in Maboneng, such as a 10-story painting of Nelson Mandela, which helps to make the area more visually appealing.
"Up front there was a very strong focus on art," says Mr Liebmann. "And we continue to invest in the arts."
He also says that Propertuity takes a "massive role" in the design of each of its schemes.
"It is not like we just hire an architect, give them the keys and say 'get it done'. It is very much a dialogue between myself and the architects."
While some critics say Mr Liebmann is gentrifying Maboneng and making it unaffordable for people on low incomes, he argues this is not the case.
"We pride ourselves on being both mixed income and mixed use," he says.
"On the mixed income [issue], it just lets those disparities of income, which are so rife in South African society, start being bridged."
Tony de Munnik, a leading member of City Improvement Districts, a voluntary organisation that tries to co-ordinate better redevelopment within Johannesburg, says the city could do with more people like Mr Liebmann.
"Every now and then something happens and someone stands up in what otherwise appears to be a hopeless scenario," he says.
"Maboneng is that something and Jonathan Liebmann is that someone."
Mr Liebmann himself lives and works in Maboneng, and walks a few minutes each day from his flat to Propertuity's main office.
With more funding now secured for the business, he now plans to replicate what he has achieved in Maboneng in Durban.


Former world 1500m champion Abeba Aregawi is hoping to feature at the Olympic Games in Rio after a suspension for failing a drug test was lifted.

The 26-year-old Swede tested positive for meldonium on 12 January this year.
The substance was made illegal by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) on 1 January.
But new guidelines say anyone testing positive who took it before then is free to compete - it is not known how long the drug can stay in the system.
Meldonium - also known as mildronate - is a drug designed to treat ischemia, a condition where there is a reduction in blood supply to body tissue. It is also said to have benefits for diabetes sufferers.
The Swedish Sports Confederation said the suspension was lifted with immediate effect as it had not been proven that she had taken meldonium after it was banned.
The confederation is to meet the country's Olympic Committee to look at Aregawi's possible reinstatement for the Games, which start on 5 August.
Ethiopia-born Aregawi won gold at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow and 2014 World Indoor Championships in Sopot.


One minute you are riding happily along, but the next, with a hiss of escaping air, you are stood by the side of the road with a flat tyre to deal with.

Unfortunately punctures are part and parcel of cycling and although they are easy to fix with some basic knowledge, there are a number of simple steps you can take to prevent them from ruining your ride.
Ultra lightweight tyres are great for racers looking to save seconds but, for most cyclists, more durable and puncture resistant tyres are a better choice. Look for tyres with puncture protection technology such as Kevlar reinforcement. Puncture prevention features will normally be well indicated on the sidewalls or packaging of tyres, but if in doubt, ask at your local bike shop. Check your tyres regularly for embedded thorns, glass or stones. They might not have worked their way through and can be removed before they cause a puncture.
If your tyres are under inflated, you are more likely to suffer snake-bite punctures, where the inner tube gets pinched against the rim. Over inflated tyres are more vulnerable to flints and glass. Tyres should be pumped up to the pressure recommended on the sidewall of the tyre. A track pump with a pressure gauge is useful to regularly check your tyres are correctly inflated.
Always look well down the road and try to anticipate puncture causing hazards to give your-self plenty of time to avoid them. Freshly cut hedges and damaged bus shelters are examples of potential puncture hot spots. Puncture causing debris tends to get washed into the gutter so don't ride there either. You have a right to be on the road so don't be intimidated and feel you have to ride right next to the kerb. For normal riding you should be roughly in line with the near side of cars.
Wet weather means more debris washed onto the roads and water can lubricate the passage of foreign bodies into your tyres. We are not saying don't ride in the wet, just pay extra attention to all of the above.
Learn the technique and kit required for fixing a puncture, and other basic maintenance tasks such as, cleaning your bike and lubing your chain on British Cycling's Insight Zone.
Take all these precautions and hopefully you should be blessed with many puncture free miles of cycling.

Demolition work has started on the next phase of a project to regenerate a Denbighshire seaside town.

The county council secured more than £8m to buy and flatten some rundown properties in Rhyl and create a new green space as part of its plans.
The work at Gronant Street comes amid news the council failed to secure £12m to revamp another part of the resort.
The council said it was "bitterly disappointed" but regeneration of the town centre was still its priority.
The demolition work began in 2011 with the clearing of some properties just away from the town centre at Aquarium Street.
Last year emergency action was taken to start the process to demolish the former Honey Club nightclub over concerns about the safety of the building.
Work has since started on developing that site into a hotel.
Last month, the council was informed it had lost a bid to be shortlisted for a share of the Welsh government's £90m Vibrant and Viable Places fund, which it hoped to use to "change the face of Rhyl town centre".
The council wanted £12m over three years for its regeneration as work continues on other projects around the resort, including a multimillion-pound overhaul of Rhyl Harbour.
In a statement, Denbighshire leader Councillor Hugh Evans said the council was making "urgent inquiries" to seek money from other sources, including a £5m Welsh government fund for smaller projects.
He added: "We believe that our proposals for investment in the town centre would have been the final piece in the jigsaw that Rhyl needed to return to its rightful place as a prosperous, successful and attractive seaside town."


Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says it will take time for him to get his side playing how he wants.

The Blues drew with Swansea and lost to Liverpool in their last two league games before coming back from 2-0 to beat Leicester City 4-2 in the EFL Cup.
"It is normal when you start work in a new team and you bring a new idea and method of football you need time," said the 47-year-old Italian.
"But I'm confident about this and trust in the work. We can improve a lot."
Chelsea face London rivals Arsenal on Saturday at 17:30 BST and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will celebrate 20 years in charge of the Emirates outfit on 1 October.
Conte will be the 12th Chelsea manager Wenger has faced in the Premier League.
"It is fantastic if someone is able to stay for 20 years in the same club," added Conte. "There is satisfaction in both sides.
"Sometimes I think it is important to value a manager not only if he wins, loses or draws.
"Sometimes if you judge only if they win you make a big mistake and you pay for this in the future."
Chelsea, who let in 53 league goals last season, have kept just one clean sheet in seven games this campaign.
"When we concede a goal, all the team concede a goal, not only the defenders," said Conte, who will be without injured centre-back John Terry against Arsenal.
"It means we must work together to improve the defensive situation. This problem was already there last season.
"We must work a lot on this aspect because if you want a great championship you mustn't concede so many goals."

A massive fire has broken out at an industrial estate in Leeds.

Scores of firefighters have tackled the blaze at a glass bottle manufacturing factory on Towngate Link in Cross Green Way, about a mile from the city centre.
The fire at Allied Glass's single-storey warehouse and bottle decoration unit, which is about 328ft (100m) long, started after midnight on Friday.
The company said 21 people were working inside when the blaze broke out and no-one was injured.
About 35 firefighters remain at the scene to dampen down the fire, which has been brought under control.
Live updates and more from across West Yorkshire
Operations Director Richard Summers said more than 10,000 pallets of glass had been "completely destroyed" by the fire.
"It's catastrophic. Everything's levelled to the floor. It really has taken the whole warehouse.
"It looks like the site will have to be demolished and rebuilt."
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue said the fire was still burning and it expected crews to remain on site over the weekend.
Group Manager Gary Clare said: "The building structure is now unstable and for that reason we cannot commit firefighters inside it so we are tackling the areas that are still burning from outside using aerial jets."
Mr Summers said he hoped the company could "maintain supply albeit not at the same level" at a temporary site.
An investigation has started into the cause of the blaze, and roads surrounding Cross Green Way have been closed.

The German arm of Canada's Maple Bank has been closed by German authorities.

Bafin, Germany's financial watchdog, said Maple had to set aside funds to cover unpaid taxes and that was threatening its financial position.
Maple Bank's German arm came to the attention of the public in 2008 when it helped Porsche in its attempt to takeover Volkswagen.
The attempt failed, and in 2009 the tables were turned when Volkswagen took over the sports car maker.
In September German prosecutors searched Maple Bank offices in an investigation into tax evasion and money laundering.
At the time it was reported that authorities were looking into allegations that bank staff had illegally claimed back more than â‚¬100m ($110m; Â£76m) in tax.
But Sunday's announcement from the financial regulator made no mention of that case.
Maple Financial Group is an investment bank. Bafin said its German unit had been barred from taking payments that were not related to paying off debts.
The unit has â‚¬5bn in assets, according to Bafin. Its failure does not pose a threat to financial stability, the regulator said.


Worcester Warriors second-row forward Donncha O'Callaghan says the club's defensive coach Simon Cross deserves credit for their upturn in form.

"I love working with him," said the 37-year-old former Ireland international.
"It's tough but you get challenged. Crossy does an awful lot of work with guys individually as well as a group."
Warriors have won their last four games to move 16 points clear of bottom club London Irish and all but seal their Premiership survival.
The season has picked up dramatically over the last six weeks, Dean Ryan's side having won five of their last six matches. And O'Callaghan, who arrived at Sixways last summer, is adamant the improvements in their defensive line has been key.
"Crossy looks at you and, even at 37, he sees you as someone who can learn and improve in the type of defence he wants you to play," O'Callaghan told BBC Hereford & Worcester.
"It gives you massive energy when the coaches give you a play or pattern out on the pitch and you do and get a result out of it. Everyone grows a bit."
Fellow Warriors lock Darren O'Shea, who has been displaced by O'Callaghan this season, is to return to his old club Munster at the end of this season.
After signing in May 2014, he was a regular in Warriors' 2014/15 Championship and British & Irish Cup-winning campaign.
Meanwhile, Warriors centre Max Stelling has been selected to play for England in the HSBC World Sevens Series in Hong Kong (8-10 April).
With only four games to play, Worcester have virtually banished fears of an immediate return to the Championship and can now focus on potentially catching Bath, Gloucester and Sale above them in the table.
"We're now looking at a process - how we can put into practice what were saying in the week," said O'Callaghan.
"Results have fallen out the back - before we were all worried about getting the result and not about how we do it.
"There's a maturity in the squad now and the coaches have done a fantastic job."


The UK government's plans for a Brexit "Great Repeal Bill" are likely to end in a "constitutional bust-up", a legal expert has predicted.

Prof Jo Shaw, the Salvesen Chair of European Institutions at Edinburgh University Law School, said some form of confrontation between the UK and Scottish governments over the proposal was inevitable.
The bill, announced by Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday, will repeal the European Communities Act and enshrine all existing EU law into British law.
It would ensure that there would not be any gaps in legislation once the UK left the EU.
But Scotland's Brexit minister Mike Russell has warned the Scottish Parliament might seek to block it if Scotland's interests were not represented in negotiations.
Under the "Sewel convention" the UK Parliament will not normally legislate for devolved matters without the consent of the devolved legislature affected.
Speaking on BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme, Prof Shaw said there were two strands to the issue: legality and legitimacy.
"The legal reality, as I'm quite sure Mike Russell knows, is that the UK Parliament remains sovereign within the British system as it exists.
"So consequently a piece of subsequent legislation from Westminster which overrode or repealed or changed part of the Scottish devolution legislation would of course take priority," she said.
"Legally I have to say I think the UK government holds most of the cards. In legitimacy terms, one could point to the Scottish government having a pretty good hand to play."
Prof Shaw said she was sure politicians on both sides of the border were "perfectly aware" the bill would be "very, very confrontational".
"It isn't a particularly consent-based approach, it isn't a particularly collaborative approach," she told the BBC.
"We've seen statements about collaboration that Mrs May made right at the beginning of her premiership have largely gone away now. She's said things like, 'well, Scotland can have its say but ultimately we drive the process here in London.'"
But she said the fact that the UK Parliament could "railroad" legislation through demonstrated the "limits of devolution".
A principle of Westminster parliamentary sovereignty is that no parliament can bind its successors.
"There may have been one parliament that enshrined the legislative consent motion into the Scotland Act 2016.
"The next parliament can then enact this measure that we're talking about today and the effect of that could be to impliedly repeal parts of the devolution settlement."


Kevin Spacey sang, danced and mimicked Bill Clinton at a Tony Awards ceremony where the policies of President Trump's administration were taken to task.

Best actor winner Kevin Kline summed up the mood by saluting the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts), which faces funding cuts under the Trump regime.
US talk show host Stephen Colbert also mocked Trump by suggesting his tenure as president "could close early".
Dear Evan Hansen was named best musical at the New York ceremony.
The show, about a teenager who fabricates a former friendship with a classmate who killed himself, also saw Pitch Perfect star Ben Platt named best actor in a musical.
Bette Midler received the female equivalent for her role in Hello, Dolly! and celebrated her second Tony win with a lengthy acceptance speech.
"Shut that crap off!" the veteran comedienne snapped at one point when the orchestra tried to play her off the stage.
Other awards went to Laurie Metcalf for her role in a newly written sequel to A Doll's House and to Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon for her supporting role in The Little Foxes.
There was also an award for Briton Nigel Hook, who won best scenic design for the Broadway transfer of British production The Play That Goes Wrong.
Yet other big names, among them Danny DeVito, Cate Blanchett and singer Josh Groban, left New York's Radio City Music Hall empty-handed.
Full list of 2017 winners
Spacey opened proceedings with a musical number that climaxed with him tap dancing in top hat and tails.
He also appeared in character as House of Cards' Frank Underwood, with his on-screen wife Robin Wright beside him.
But such comic flourishes went hand in hand with acceptance speeches that reflected America's politically charged climate.
Nixon's speech, in which she quoted directly from The Little Foxes playwright Lillian Hellman, was a case in point.
"Eighty years ago she wrote there are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it, and other people who just stand around and watch them do it," she told the audience.
"My love, my gratitude and my undying respect go out to all the people in 2017 who are refusing to just stand and watch them do it."
Sunday's ceremony took place shortly after news that Delta Air Lines and Bank of America had withdrawn financial support for a New York production of Julius Caesar.
The contemporary staging of Shakespeare's play features an assassinated Caesar who resembles President Trump, a depiction Delta said had "crossed the line on the standards of good taste".
Last year's Tonys, hosted by Britain's James Corden, were dominated by hip-hop musical Hamilton. which won 11 awards.

Nearly 600 people believed to be Bangladeshis and Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar have been rescued from boats drifting in Indonesian waters.

At least two overcrowded boats - with many women and children on board - were towed by local fishermen to the shores of Aceh province on Sunday.
Myanmar - also known as Burma - refuses to recognise Rohingya as citizens.
Hundreds of thousands have fled persecution in recent years, often through Thailand but also by sea.
Indonesian authorities and aid agencies believe the rescued group had been at sea for about a week.
They may have been trying to reach Malaysia, said Steve Hamilton of the International Organisation for Migration.
He said on Sunday that four boats in total were thought to have come ashore.
"People thought they were in Malaysia, it [turned out] they were in Indonesia. They were left behind by the smugglers."
Aceh provincial rescue chief Budiawan told AFP news agency on Sunday: "We received a report from fishermen this morning that there were boat people stranded."
"We despatched teams there and evacuated 469 migrants who are Rohingya from Myanmar and Bangladeshis. So far, all of them are safe."
North Aceh police chief Achmadi said at least 50 of the rescued people were taken to hospital.
"In general, they were suffering from starvation and many were very thin."
One migrant, Rashid Ahmed, told the Associated Press he was a Rohingya and had left Myanmar's Rakhine state three months ago with his son.
"We had nothing to eat. All we could do was pray," he said.
Rohingya Muslims have been fleeing sectarian violence in Myanmar for many years.
In December, the UN passed a resolution urging Myanmar to give access to citizenship for the Rohingya, many of whom are classed as stateless.
The organisation estimates some 25,000 Rohingya and Bangladeshis have boarded smugglers' boats between January and March this year, double the amount as over the same period last year.


Chelsea must reach the final of the Champions League or the FA Cup to save their season, says goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Chelsea face Paris St-Germain on 16 February before their fifth-round FA Cup tie with Manchester City.
"We play against two great sides and we have to try to win those games," said the Blues number one.
"The only way to save our season is to reach the final in one or both of them."
Following their 1-1 Premier League draw with Manchester United, Chelsea still sit low down the Premier League table in 13th position, 17 points from a Champions League spot.
"Obviously every time we don't win in the league, and there is one game less, there is less chance to get into the top four," the 23-year-old told Chelseafc.com
Chelsea have gone nine matches without defeat under interim manager Guus Hiddink and they have not given up on reaching a top-four spot.
"We will see where we are with five-six games in a row and see whether we can get there or not."
The Blues next league game is against relegation-threatened Newcastle on Saturday.


The review on sugar by Public Health England is clear: a tax on fizzy drinks is not the silver bullet.

In fact, it argues other steps such as tackling price discounting are likely to be more effective at reducing consumption.
But it still does endorse it - and that puts the government in a very tricky position.
To date, ministers have been pretty adamant they don't want to introduce a tax. Even as the report was finally being unveiled, the prime minister's official spokesman was maintaining a tax wasn't on the cards.
But - like it or not - the issue has become a symbolic. Symbolic in the fight against obesity and symbolic of the government's willingness to stand up to industry when it comes to health.
Placing extra levies on something considered to be unhealthy - just as happened with cigarettes all those years ago - is a clear statement that the product is no longer considered an acceptable lifestyle choice. This is why campaigners are so adamant they want to see it.
Fizzy drinks are, of course, not the only products we consume that are high in sugar. But it is our attitude to them that is particularly concerning to experts.
While a chocolate bar or slice of cake is generally considered as a treat, fizzy drinks are not. People who drink them, tend to have them every day.
For teenagers they are the number one source of sugar intake. But a typical can contains enough sugar - about nine teaspoons - to take someone over their recommended sugar intake in one hit.
With that in mind, the government is going to come under pretty sustained pressure to change its position on tax ahead of the publication of its child obesity strategy in the new year.
That, of course, is partly because of the way the release of this report has been handled. While it is not unusual for the government to ask experts to review an issue as it draws up new policy, the interest in this review has been on another scale altogether.
The reason for that is simple: when people think something is being kept from them, their interest peaks. This report was handed to ministers in the summer and was due to be released in October alongside the obesity strategy.
But publication of the strategy was delayed and, as a result, so was this report. The House of Commons' Health Committee, which is carrying out its own review of obesity, then started asking why they couldn't see it.
Soon enough media organisations were asking the same questions and then this week it became a front-page story in the newspapers. The government was left with no choice. Now it's out, campaigners will be hoping they can back ministers into a corner again.

The NHS trust providing mental health services in Norfolk and Suffolk is to make savings of £36m over four years.

Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust agreed to balance its books after a critical report by NHS watchdog Monitor.
The trust was put in special measures over a predicted deficit of £9.4m for the year 2015/16.
Chief executive Michael Scott said savings would be made while maintaining the quality of patient services.
The trust breached its licence by predicting the £9.4m deficit and not having an adequate recovery plan.
Enforcement action by Monitor since February included special measures to improve patient services.
An improvement director was appointed and the trust was partnered with Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
Laura Mills from Monitor said: "These steps should enable the trust to balance its books and ensure patients are able to receive quality services."
Mr Scott called the trust's plan "robust" and said £44m of savings had already been achieved over the past four years.
"The focus for us is not only on balancing the books; it is on balancing cost savings against maintaining safe and high quality services.
"We are doing this over a longer period to protect our staff and our service users from further cuts."
The trust has spent £2.6m recruiting more staff for inpatient units and £950,000 for additional community workers.
"We do all of this in the face of chronic under-funding of mental health services, and these life-saving services remain the 'Cinderella' of the NHS.
"We are determined to continue to campaign for increased funding," he said.


A 35-year-old man has been arrested after a woman was held hostage in a restaurant in Melbourne, Australia, for seven hours.

Police say the man - said to be a former employee - entered the Ludlow restaurant in the Southbank area late on Sunday evening brandishing a knife.
Other customers and staff fled but the man cornered the woman in a back room and barricaded himself in.
The area was cordoned off while police negotiated with the man.
The woman was released unharmed in the early hours of Monday.
Police then moved in and Tasered the man before arresting him and taking him to hospital on a stretcher for checks.
Inspector Travis McCarthy told Australian media the investigation was ongoing but that the accused "was fairly disgruntled around some employment issues with the restaurant".
He said the woman appeared not to have been directly threatened during the siege.
