I'm at the Royal Welsh Show where David Cameron has made his third visit to the showground in a year.

He was at last year's event, then he came to a pre-election rally here at a time when the polls said he was neck-and-neck with Ed Miliband.
How things change in politics. In marked contrast to those nervous days for the Tories, the walkabout today had the feel of a victory parade at times.
With all the challenges he's got ahead of him, particularly over Europe, he may not have come to Wales at a better time.
Not only was he in a constituency that was one of the Tory gains at the election, but also Labour are in a mess and he came to Wales with news of hundreds of new jobs in the valleys.
The most interesting part of my interview was when I asked him whether he was directly appealing to Aston Martin to locate production of its new 4x4 model to south Wales, and he said yes.
Claim credit
It's not surprising that David Cameron is calling on the car maker to make sure the work is carried out in the UK, and he did hint at that in his answer.
But what will raise eyebrows is the apparent promotion of St Athan during a visit to Wales.
It could be seen as a dangerous game. Politically you can see where he's coming from.
If Aston go with the Vale of Glamorgan, he can claim the credit which, I have no doubt, will deeply annoy the Welsh government which will want to claim the credit for months of hard work behind the scenes.
If Aston go elsewhere, then I have no doubt that Welsh government ministers will accuse him of scuppering the deal for a few cheap headlines.
Either way, the impression we've got here is that David Cameron is trying to trying to bounce the car firm into making a decision.
In my experience, companies hate being told what to do by politicians, never mind on a huge call like this one.
NHS spending
But if you are going to have a politician trying to bounce one of the world's most famous car makers into a particular decision, then I suppose the argument would be that it might as well be the prime minister.
Elsewhere in the interview, Mr Cameron was particularly dismissive of Carwyn Jones' claim this week that some of the Tory spending plans were nigh on impossible to achieve.
He responded by saying that this was a typical response from a party who warned that the world was going to end a few years ago.
Instead he called on the Welsh government to offer the same protection to NHS spending in Wales as in England.
Carwyn Jones has said this is something he wants to do but was unable to offer a cast-iron guarantee.
And with all the concern about the electrification of the Great Western mainline, he reaffirmed his political commitment to the work being done all the way to Swansea, although he didn't give any guarantees that it would be completed by the target date of 2018.


A major archaeological dig in Wiltshire has unearthed evidence of frogs legs being eaten in Britain, 8,000 years before France, it has been claimed.

The team, which consists of Mesolithic period experts, also found other types of food including salmon and nuts.
David Jacques, from the University of Buckingham, said people living there thousands of years ago were eating a "Heston Blumenthal-style menu".
The team hopes to confirm Amesbury as the UK's oldest continuous settlement.
The dig will run until 25 October.
It is being filmed and made into a documentary by the BBC, Smithsonian, CBC and others to be screened at a later date. The project is being led by the University of Buckingham.
Mr Jacques added: "This is significant for our understanding of the way people were living around 5,000 years before the building of Stonehenge and it begs the question - where are the frogs now?"
The latest information is based on a report by fossil mammal specialist Simon Parfitt, of the Natural History Museum.
He examined the discoveries from the dig which has resulted in 12,000 finds, including 650 animal bones, all from the Mesolithic era.
Andy Rhind-Tutt, chairman of Amesbury Museum and Heritage Trust and co-ordinator of the community involvement on the dig, said the studies at Amesbury could help explain why Stonehenge was created.
"No one would have built Stonehenge without there being something unique and really special about the area," he said.
"There must have been something significant here beforehand and Blick Mead, with its constant temperature spring sitting alongside the River Avon, may well be it.
"I believe that as we uncover more about the site over the coming days and weeks, we will discover it to be the greatest, oldest and most significant Mesolithic home base ever found in Britain."
He added: "Currently Thatcham - 40 miles from Amesbury - is proving to be the oldest continuous settlement in the UK with Amesbury 104 years younger.
"By the end of this latest dig, I am sure the records will need to be altered."
The site already boasts the biggest collection of flints and cooked animal bones in north west Europe.
The term Mesolithic refers to specific groups of archaeological cultures defined as falling between the Palaeolithic and the Neolithic periods.


An Oscar statuette that changed hands last year for $79,200 (Â£50,726) can be reclaimed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for just $10 (Â£6.40), a Los Angeles judge has ruled.

The ruling was made after an agreement was reached between the Academy and Nate D Sanders, an auction house that specialises in movie memorabilia.
The golden statuette in question was awarded in 1942 to Joseph C Wright for his colour art direction on My Gal Sal.
His heirs sold the Oscar in June 2014.
The Academy tried to prevent the sale, claiming it breached a rule, instituted in 1951, that Oscar winners and their heirs cannot sell statuettes without first offering it to the organisation for $10.
The Academy's lawyers argued that Nate D Sanders was aware of the requirement when it bought the Oscar at a sale organised by Rhode Island firm Briarbrook Auctions.
Nate B Sanders previously handled the auction of 15 Oscar statues, a collection whose sale fetched more than $3m (Â£1.9m), in 2012.
"The Oscar is perhaps the world's most distinctive and prestigious award for achievement in the arts,'' said Gary E Gans, the lawyer who represented the Academy in the protracted litigation.
"This case established that the Academy can maintain the dignity and value of such an award by keeping it from becoming a commodity."
Last year the Academy took legal action against the heirs of another Oscar winner - cinematographer Robert Surtees - after they allegedly sold one of his awards on eBay.


Two firms have shown interest in the threatened Texas Instruments (TI) site in Inverclyde, according to a task force set up to try to save the plant.

Hundreds of jobs have been under threat since January, when TI announced the phased closure of its Greenock plant.
The semiconductor firm plans to move production to "more cost-effective" sites overseas over three years.
Texas Instruments Task Force chairman Stephen McCabe said there had been interest from two prospective buyers.
Mr McCabe, who is also leader of Inverclyde Council, said: "With the Texas Instruments Greenock plant being actively marketed, there have been two businesses interested in examining the site.
"This is very hopeful news that there is some interest being expressed by potential buyers within the industry.
"A note of caution is clearly required. This is a very specialised industry with a limited number of businesses operating globally."
News of the potential buyers was raised at the last meeting of the task force, which is supported by the Scottish government, national agencies and local and national politicians.
About 365 people currently work at the Greenock facility. The jobs affected are in manufacturing, engineering, support and management.


Fighting between rebels and Islamic State (IS) militants around the strategic Syrian town of Marea has left 47 dead, according to activists.

The UK-based Syria Observatory for Human Rights said that 27 IS fighters were killed, with the rest being from other anti-government groups.
Marea lies in an area that Turkey and the US have reportedly wanted to turn into an IS-free "safe zone".
Last month it was alleged IS had used chemical weapons in an attack on Marea.
Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said that on 21 August it had treated four members of a family who suffered from breathing difficulties and developed blisters after a mortar hit their home in Marea.
The Syrian American Medical Society has also reported receiving 50 patients showing symptoms of chemical exposure.
Local rebels say the shells were fired from an IS-held village to the east.
Last month the US said it suspected IS of having used chemical agents in another attack on Kurdish forces in northern Syria. Reports of a sulphur mustard attack on Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in Iraq are also being investigated.
Also on Saturday, US Secretary of State John Kerry expressed concern to his Russian counterpart over reports of "an imminent enhanced Russian military build-up" in Syria.
On Friday the New York Times reported that US officials believed Russia had sent a military advance team to Syria and was "taking other steps the United States fears may signal that President... Putin is planning to vastly expand his military support for [Syrian] President Bashar al-Assad".
Mr Kerry "made clear that if such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-ISIL coalition operating in Syria," the state department said.


Tony Hall's appointment as the BBC's new director general is the latest high-profile role for a man with a distinguished track record in broadcasting, leadership and running major organisations.

As such, he will be seen as ideally placed to restore stability and direction to the corporation after a traumatic period that saw the resignation of the previous director general, George Entwistle, after just 54 days in the job.
Lord Hall of Birkenhead, who has just left his post as chief executive of the Royal Opera House, worked at the BBC for 28 years and was its head of news and current affairs from 1996 to 2001.
For the last three years he has chaired the board for the Cultural Olympiad, the four-year programme of cultural events that climaxed with the London 2012 festival earlier this year.
Educated at King Edward's School in Edgbaston and Birkenhead School on Merseyside, Lord Hall went on to study philosophy, politics and economics (PPE) at Keble College, Oxford.
He began his BBC career in 1973 and worked as a trainee in the Belfast newsroom, going on to produce Today, The World at One, The World Tonight and PM on Radio Four.
He became editor of the Nine O'Clock News on BBC One at the age of 34, and went on to supervise the BBC's coverage of the 1987 general election.
Between 1987 and 1989 he was the editor of television news and current affairs, during which time he launched the BBC's televised coverage of Parliament.
Following that role, he was director, then chief executive, of BBC News and current affairs until 2001, making him responsible for the entirety of the BBC's network journalism on radio and television.
During his tenure he launched Radio 5 live, BBC News 24, BBC News Online and BBC Parliament, all of which are now integral components of the corporation's output.
Lord Hall is believed to have been on the final shortlist for the director general post ahead of Greg Dyke's appointment in 1999.
In 2001 he joined the Royal Opera House, one of the country's largest and most complex arts institutions.
His time there has seen access to the Royal Opera's work widened through nationwide Big Screen relays, the introduction of special low-price ticket schemes and the purchase of a DVD company, Opus Arte, to distribute recordings globally.
In 2007 he chaired a review for Channel 4 over its handling of Celebrity Big Brother and the ensuing race row involving returning contestant Jade Goody and Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.
Earlier this year he was appointed the channel's deputy chairman, a role he will have to relinquish after taking up the director general post in March 2013.
Lord Hall was made a CBE in 2005, has sat on the board of the British Council since 2008 and was created a life peer with the title Baron Hall of Birkenhead in 2010.
Married with two children, he is the author of two books: King Coal (1981), a history of the National Union of Mineworkers, and Nuclear Politics (1987), a history of nuclear power in Britain.
After his appointment was announced last November, Lord Hall said he wanted "to build a world-class team to lead a world-class BBC".
"This organisation is an incredibly important part of what makes the United Kingdom what it is.
"And of course it matters not just to people in this country, but to tens of millions around the world too."


Two men have died in separate crashes on the A77 in Ayrshire after their cars left the road and hit trees.

Henry Millar, 36, from Kilmarnock, was killed when his white Kia Cee'd hit a tree after mounting a kerb near the Grassyards Interchange at about 18:50 on Sunday.
At 23:20 the same night a 31-year-old man died after his car hit a tree on the A77 near Monkton in South Ayrshire.
That crash, involving a grey Ford Kuga, happened at the Dutch House roundabout.
Police said the car was reported to be travelling northbound when it mounted the roundabout.
The driver was taken to Crosshouse Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Police have appealed for anyone with information about either accident to contact them.


The United Nations will investigate UK welfare reforms and equal rights policies as part of a planned review.

A committee will look at the government's welfare changes and unemployment policies to see if they "disproportionately affect" the rights of disadvantaged and vulnerable people.
The review, part of a regular cycle of examinations, will be the first undertaken since 2009.
The findings will be published next June.
As part of the examination of government policies, the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) has requested further information on more than 30 issues.
The committee will examine whether measures have targeted certain groups such as disabled people, ethnic minorities or those on low incomes.
A UN spokeswoman said the CESCR would review the UK and six other countries.
"It is not an investigation or inquiry launched in response to a particular situation or at the request of a third party," she added.
The review is being carried out because the UK signed up to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Areas under examination will include:
Earlier this month members of the Just Fair coalition, which campaigns for "social justice in the UK", met CESCR representatives.
Just Fair members said they were concerned government policies had "led to violations of the right to food, housing, adequate healthcare for migrants and people with mental health problems and the economic and social rights of disabled people".
Just Fair chairman Jamie Burton said the UN review was "timely and welcome".
"We and many others are concerned about the adverse impact austerity policies have had on the least well off and already marginalised in society, including those in work," he said.
"In the one of the richest countries in the world people do not have enough food to eat or decent housing to live in.
"Worst of all, the measures have hit children, single mothers and people with disabilities the hardest. As the tax credits scandal shows, the public is turning against these policies precisely because they are so unfair."
The government is aiming to cut annual welfare spending by Â£12bn, in line with a Conservative manifesto pledge.
A government spokesman said: "This is not an investigation but a routine request for information that occurs every few years as part of the periodic reporting process to the UN.
"We are committed to protecting the most vulnerable in society. The UK government continues to support millions of people on benefits with an Â£80bn working-age welfare safety net in place."
The UN review is separate from an ongoing investigation by the UN's Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which is looking at whether the government's disability benefit reforms breached the rights of disabled people.


Manchester United saw revenues fall by £38m in the year to June, mainly due to failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

Total revenues were £395.2m, down from £433.2m, but sponsorship income hit record levels, up by 14.1% to £154.9m.
It came as the club had a second trophy-less season in 2014-15.
That caused matchday revenues for the year to fall by 16% to £90.6m, and broadcasting income to drop by a fifth to £107.7m, a decrease of £28.1m.
Being out of the Champions League cost the club around £35m in match and broadcasting revenues.
This was slightly offset by a £12m drop in staff costs.
Man Utd currently sit third in the Premier League and are in the group stages of the Champions League, but lost their opening game to PSV.
Last season was the final year of the club's kit deal with Nike, before they moved over to Adidas in July of this year to begin a 10-year, £750m partnership.
The club is optimistic about the forthcoming year, saying they expect revenues to be between £500m and £510m.
"As we look to the new season, we are enthusiastic about our strong position, both on and off the pitch," said Ed Woodward, club executive vice-chairman, who added that the club was commercially confident of "continued growth".
"In recent weeks we have further strengthened our squad with an exciting mix of experience and youth, qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, and seen an impressive launch of our partnership with Adidas."
It said Premier League live broadcasting rights would increase around 70% to £5.14bn for the 2016/17 to 2018/19 seasons.
It also expects its finances to be boosted by a return to Champions League football.
Manchester United also announced it is trying to raise $400m by selling new shares.
The club, which is listed on the New York stock exchange, is controlled by the American Glazer family.


A legal loophole that allows minibus drivers to operate without undergoing a criminal record check is putting passengers in danger, councils say.

Drivers of "public carriage vehicles", which seat 9-16 people, are not subject to a criminal check - unlike hackney carriage and private taxi drivers.
This allowed "unscrupulous drivers" to work even if councils have banned them, the Local Government Association said.
A Department for Transport spokesman said it was planning immediate action.
Under the current rules, drivers of public carriage vehicles are licensed by the DVLA, whereas councils license taxi drivers.
Taxi drivers require an up-to-date enhanced criminal record check to be issued with a licence.
The LGA said a loophole meant drivers who have been refused a taxi or minicab licence - or whose licence has been revoked by councils - could instead obtain a minibus licence and continue to operate in the same area.
Some had continued working with the same company, the LGA added.
It urged the government to change the law to ensure vehicles seating nine to 16 people were instead licensed by councils.
Simon Blackburn, from the LGA, said the majority of minibus drivers were "people who the public can trust".
However, he added: "This loophole provides an opportunity for unscrupulous drivers to continue to work in close proximity to passengers, even when a council has determined that they are not safe to do so.
"Larger minibuses are often sent in place of a regular taxi to pick up individuals or small parties, purely because they are nearest to the pick-up point rather than because there is a requirement for such a large vehicle.
"They are used to take groups of children to school, or to drive groups home after nights out.
"It is therefore extremely worrying that councils' proactive work to protect taxi passengers from harm - and particularly those who may be most vulnerable - is being undermined by this loophole."
A Department for Transport spokesman said public safety remained "our first priority".
It said: "It is the responsibility of councils to meet their legal requirements to ensure all drivers are 'fit and proper' persons before issuing a taxi or private hire driver's licence.
"We are taking immediate action to provide the same level of protection for passengers in minibuses as they receive in taxis."


Chesterfield will take disciplinary action against defender Sadiq El Fitouri, who has been absent from the club since last Wednesday.

El Fitouri, 22, has not reported back to the club after being given Thursday off for personal reasons.
"The player will be fined in accordance with our code of conduct and we will be writing to him to confirm our position," director Ashley Carson said.
"We will then reserve our right to take further action if deemed appropriate."
El Fitouri, who was born in Benghazi, Libya, has made two appearances since joining Chesterfield at the beginning of February.
He was a free agent after being released by Manchester United, who had signed him from Salford City in January 2015 following a recommendation by former United player Phil Neville.


In his four decades at the forefront of public life, South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been forthright in his views on the situation at home and abroad.

Here is a selection of his memorable quotes on a variety of topics:

Newport County have brought in Lennie Lawrence to work with caretaker boss Mike Flynn.

The 69-year-old has been given the title 'First Team Management Consultant' at Rodney Parade.
Lawrence has managed over 1,000 league games in his career and he said he was delighted to join the Exiles.
"I have undertaken this type of role on several occasions and will be there for Michael to offer advice and guidance when needed," said Lawrence.
Lawrence will now link up with Flynn and assistant boss, Wayne Hatswell, until the end of the season as County look to avoid relegation from the Football League.
Since taking over after the sacking of Graham Westley, Flynn has had a reasonable start with two wins and a defeat, but the Exiles remain seven points from League Two safety ahead of tonight's game against Luton.
Flynn said he welcomed the arrival of Lawrence.
"I'm over the moon that Lennie's agreed to come on board," said Flynn.
"I'm always learning and if I can't learn from someone who's managed over a 1,000 times in the Football League then I won't be able to learn from anyone.
"Not only will Lennie be important for my development, he'll also be helpful to the board as he brings with him a wealth of football knowledge."
Lawrence has managed a host of clubs down the years including Charlton, Middlesbrough and Cardiff City.
Most recently he returned to the Welsh capital to act as assistant manager to Paul Trollope during his ill-fated spell in charge of the Bluebirds.
Lawrence said he was looking forward to working with Flynn at Newport, adding: "I met Michael at the FAW UEFA Pro license course and when approached I was delighted to offer some support."


A £58m project to restore a disused railway line will cost "considerably" more than originally planned, a report has found.

The Portishead branch line shut in 1964 and is due to reopen in 2020.
The £100m scheme by the West of England Partnership and Network Rail will link the town with Bristol Temple Meads and the Severn Beach Line.
But a report by the partnership has warned the cost of the MetroWest Phase 1 project will surpass its budget.
It cited losing two level crossings on the route and engineering works through the Avon Gorge and South Bristol will "considerably" increase the estimated costs.
The rail firm has not yet revealed details of further costs involved but will do so when it publishes its own report in March.
Discussions are under way with Network Rail and the Department for Transport on "how additional funding can be identified", the report said.
Elfan Ap Rees, deputy leader of North Somerset Council, accused Network Rail of putting up "utterly ridiculous obstacles".
"We've got freight trains using that particular line every day," he said.
"We're talking about five kilometres of new track laid over where there was a railway line before."
Network Rail said it had worked "very closely" with the partnership to undertake "a detailed engineering study to determine the extent of works and associated costs".
"We are now nearing the completion of that study and will be presenting the details of the various options and costs to the West of England Transport Partnership in March this year to enable them to determine the best way forward, " it added.


League One strugglers Chesterfield have appointed former Wigan Athletic boss Gary Caldwell as their new manager.

The 34-year-old replaces Danny Wilson, who was sacked on 8 January, and has signed a one-year rolling contract.
Former Scotland, Celtic and Wigan centre-back Caldwell was dismissed by the Latics in October after winning the League One title during his 18-month spell in charge.
The Spireites are 22nd in the table, four points above bottom club Coventry.
Chesterfield were understood to be considering ex-Sky Blues boss Tony Mowbray and a third unnamed candidate to be their new manager.
"We set out to appoint somebody young, enthusiastic, ambitious, who finished their football career not so long ago and could bring ideas to the club," said director and company secretary Ashley Carson. "Gary more than fits this bill."
Caldwell, who led Wigan on a 20-match unbeaten run during his first season as a manager, added: "I would not be here if I didn't believe the club could get out of the situation we are in now and look to achieve more success next season.
"I think I'm a better manager now for my 18 months at Wigan and I have had experiences that have made me a better manager."
Caldwell has also confirmed that he will initially work with the backroom staff currently at the club.


Barnsley have signed Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo on a season-long loan deal.

Ugbo, 18, joins the Championship side for the 2017-18 season, having scored 23 goals in 35 matches for Chelsea's under-23 and under-18 sides last term.
He also scored once in three appearances to help England's under-20 side win the Toulon Tournament in June.
"He is a forward who has pace, height, strength and power as well as a keen eye for goal," Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom told the club website.

Charlton Athletic have re-signed Diego Poyet on loan after the midfielder was recalled from his loan spell at MK Dons by parent club West Ham.

Poyet came through the youth ranks at The Valley but left in the summer of 2014 to move to the Boleyn Ground.
The 20-year-old made 20 appearances for MK Dons after joining in August but he only started two games last month.
He will remain with the south-east London club until the end of the season and is eligible to play in the FA Cup.
"I'm very proud to have Diego back," Charlton interim head coach Karel Fraeye told the club website.
"He's a player who is not afraid on the ball and, although he is very young, he has played a lot of games in the Championship already.
"Everyone in the building is so happy to see him back."
Poyet, who has represented England and Uruguay at youth international level, made 23 appearances for Charlton in 2013-14 and was voted the club's player of the year by supporters.
He has played 10 times for the Hammers and featured in the Europa League this season before joining MK Dons on a season-long deal in August.
Poyet becomes Charlton's third signing of the January transfer window following the arrivals of Middlesbrough's Rhys Williams on loan and fellow defender Roger Johnson on an 18-month deal.

Mixu Paatelainen praised his Dundee United players' resolve as they beat St Johnstone 1-0, despite being reduced to 10 men for the last 30 minutes.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Bottom side United's first win in Perth in four years, and Kilmarnock's draw away to Partick Thistle, means the gap between them is down to five points.
"It was a wonderful effort. With 10 men, that spirit and character was there again," said the Finn.
"I can't praise the boys enough. They've got real mental toughness."

Ryan Dow had put United into a deserved lead midway through the first half.
However, Saints came back into the match and when Coll Donaldson was sent off for denying Chris Kane an obvious goal-scoring opportunity, the visiting fans may have feared another damaging day in their bid to avoid automatic relegation.
St Johnstone midfielder Murray Davidson hit the crossbar as the home side pressed for an equaliser but United held firm.
"We still have a long way to go but that was a small step towards it," continued Paatelainen.
"The mood is positive. Killie will pick up points so we need to be strong. They have a quality manager, they have fantastic players in every department, but days like this will help our chances of survival and that's what we hang on to.
"I'm really pleased with everybody's effort."
Saints manager Tommy Wright was frustrated at his team's lack of bite in the first quarter of the match.
"Up until they scored we didn't compete well enough, didn't make enough tackles, didn't win enough first headers or second headers," he lamented.
"I thought we got a slap in the face with the goal and we were much better after that. Probably they've defended well enough overall to win the game.
"When you give a team something to hold on to, even with 10 men, it makes it really difficult."
Alan Mannus had made two impressive saves prior to the United goal but he will have been disappointed to have allowed Dow's shot past him.
"I think in the build-up to the goal we should have done better," said Wright.
"We dropped too deep and we should have dealt with the cross better. He got a free contact inside the box.
"Because Alan was on the move, it hit the underside of his body and squirmed over the line."


On the floor of Asia's biggest tech show, a Taiwanese company is trying to pull off what would be one of the industry's greatest upsets.

A hitherto obscure maker of memory chips and network equipment, ChipSip, has nabbed Computex's Best Choice award for a pair of smart glasses that aim to steal the market away from Google Glass.
It would be the greatest coup since China's Lenovo, another company from this part of the world, overtook Hewlett-Packard in PC sales.
In its favour, ChipSip is targeting a $500 (Â£300) retail price for its SiMEye - pronounced "see me" - Smart Glass kit, which is a third of the sum Google is currently charging early adopters in the US.
ChipSip touts its ability to download Android apps direct from Google's Play Store via SiMEye's user interface. By contrast Glass requires an owner to first download an app via another Android device before it can be transferred to the eyewear.
And SiMEye can also capture video in 1080p, four times the resolution of it rival.
The firm's marketing chief Fenny Chen tells the BBC the gadget is currently being trialled by US, European and Japanese testers, and is on course to go into production later this year.
There's certainly a buzz around the company's stand at Computex.
But before ChipSip gets to declare a true David victory over Google's Goliath, there are several caveats to bear in mind.
There's no escaping it: SiMEye comes across as a bit of a clunky copycat.
It lacks voice controls at this stage, there's no bone conduction audio - meaning you need to stick headphones in your ears rather than enjoy Google's trick of having sound pumped through your skull, and its oversized nose rest only makes the concept even more unsightly.
There is a good reason for the size of that nose piece - at present, the weight of the visual display and sidearm touchpad can cause the device to tilt somewhat precariously to one side.
In fairness, most of these are issues the firm still has time to refine.
Google itself has only just rolled out alternative frames to make Glass more appealing, and the Silicon Valley giant is also providing earbuds for users who have struggled with its bone conduction solution.
ChipSip may have a very high hill to climb, but one tech watcher says it's far too soon to think Google has secured the sector.
"The market is wide open - I've seen a lot of these things out there and they all have their challenges," says Ken Dulaney, an analyst at tech research firm Gartner.
"There's the issue of how you design it with decent battery life while keeping it lightweight.
"You have the concern about having two planes of view when you're walking.
"And as you start to see smartphones get thinner and you get smartbands, the question is: does having something you wear in front of your eyes really matter that much?"
One Taiwanese company taking a radically different approach to head gear is View Phone.
Rather than try to overlay information over your field of vision, its PhoneStation kit aims to immerse its wearers in 3D movies and games.
Its trick is not to build new display tech from scratch, but to create a cheaper case into which you slot your existing smartphone and use its lenses to focus on the handset's suspended screen, mimicking the effect of looking at a much bigger display from a distance.
It might sound like a bit of a gimmick, but if a report from tech blog Engadget proves true, Facebook's Oculus Rift division is working on something similar with Samsung's handset unit to bring a budget version of virtual reality to the masses.
For those looking for alternative types of wearable tech, a hunt round Computex's 5,000 other booths delivers.
Acer may have attracted most of the headlines with the Liquid Leap - a fitness-tracking wristband with a slim touch display that is waterproof and can link up to smartphones to show call notifications.
But another Taiwanese firm - Guidercare - is taking a potentially more interesting approach with a model targeted at the elderly that launches next month.
The Carewatch is designed to gather health data - such as blood pressure and glucose levels - through add-on devices, that it then uploads to an app that can be viewed by a caregiver.
In addition, it features a panic button that when pressed sends out an SOS alert to the carer's phone, telling them of the wearer's location and allowing the OAP to speak to them via the watch's built-in 2G chip.
The idea, says the firm, is to allow the owner to remain independent right up to the moment they most need help.
Those looking for a more elegant approach might be more interested in the latest devices on show from California-based Martian Watches.
Its devices combine traditional clockwork faces with smart tech allowing them to run basic apps on their small readout displays and to accept voice commands
The high-end Passport model even recognises gestures. For example, if the user decides not to take a call, he or she can literally "shake it off" and the Bluetooth-connected smartphone will stop ringing.  Another practical feature is the "leash" function, which makes the watch beep if the phone goes out of range, signalling it may have been left behind.
The biggest problem facing the firm is that it is selling the tech for $299, restricting its appeal.
While that might be a fraction of the price of other luxury watches, most buyers will be aware that the wearable tech sector is still in its early stages.
With the likelihood of new, better models at the next big tech showcases - Berlin's Ifa in September, and then CES in January - and talk of Apple, Microsoft and others getting involved, even tech savvy shoppers may want to put off wearable tech purchases at this point.
The challenge for manufacturers is to pack in enough features and offer a low enough price tag that they can overcome this inertia, and perhaps even woo more mainstream consumers.


Hillary Clinton has apologised for her use of a personal email account for official business whilst US secretary of state between 2009-2013.

In a Facebook post, she wrote she was "sorry" and had made a "mistake".
Her use of private email has generated a barrage of criticism as Mrs Clinton runs for the Democratic presidential nomination for the 2016 election.
Critics say that her set-up was not secure, contrary to government policy, and meant to shield her from oversight.
Mrs Clinton apologised for the first time for using a personal account during an interview on Tuesday.
"That was a mistake. I'm sorry about that. I take responsibility, and I'm trying to be as transparent as I possibly can," she told ABC news.
On her Facebook page Mrs Clinton wrote: "Yes, I should have used two email addresses, one for personal matters and one for my work at the State Department. Not doing so was a mistake. I'm sorry about it, and I take full responsibility," she wrote.
Mrs Clinton continued to deny that she had broken any government rules or laws. She wrote that "nothing I ever sent or received was marked classified at the time".
Political analysts - including fellow Democrats - have said the Clinton campaign has stumbled in its response to the controversy and Mrs Clinton had not seemed contrite - at times even making jokes about the email issue.
It has been a major issue in the presidential race. Polls show an increasing number of voters view her as "untrustworthy" due in part to the questions surrounding her email use.
What a journey. When it first emerged that she was using a private email server during her period as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton was abrasive and dismissive. It was a matter of convenience, and she had done nothing wrong.
Even in the past week her position has changed three times. Asked last Friday whether she was sorry, she said she was just "sorry that it had been confusing to people".  Then on Monday she said no apology was needed: "What I did was allowed," she declared.
Only on Tuesday night did she finally say about her highly questionable email arrangement: "That was a mistake. I'm sorry about that. I take responsibility."
Hillary Clinton will be hoping that her mea culpa will be journey's end for this saga which has been going on for six months - certainly her advisors hope that it will halt her slide in the polls.  What many critics of Mrs Clinton will be asking, and some of her admirers will be thinking, is what took you so long.
Why Hillary Clinton's emails matter
Under US federal law, officials' correspondence is considered to be US government property.
Government employees are encouraged to use official email accounts although some top officials have used personal accounts in the past.
The state department has been investigating Mrs Clinton's use of a personal email server
In March, Mrs Clinton said she and her lawyers made the decision over what would be considered work-related email when the state department asked for records from former secretaries of state.
The emails deemed work-related were about half of the 60,000 emails she sent in total during her time in office. The emails she deemed personal were deleted, Mrs Clinton said.
Since then, the state department has been releasing the emails to the public in batches about once a month. Some of these emails have been censored by the department as they contain classified information.


Six complaints have been made to the Ulster Museum about a painting that appears to depict a number of Orangemen wearing Ku Klux Klan clothing.

All of the complaints have been made within the past week.
Last week, the Orange Order has said the painting was a "deliberate demonisation of its cultural heritage".
On Monday, a delegation of DUP MLAs met staff from National Museums Northern Ireland (NMNI), including its acting chief executive Jude Helliker.
The DUP delegation included North Belfast assembly members William Humphrey and Nelson McCausland.
Christian Flautists Outside St Patrick's, by the late Belfast artist Joseph McWilliams, is being shown as part of the Royal Ulster Academy's annual exhibition.
After the meeting, NMNI said in a statement that it "welcomed the opportunity to listen to their concerns and engage in dialogue".
"We have taken steps to acknowledge that some have found the painting offensive and, last week, we placed a sign at the entrances to the gallery," it added.
The sign, situated at the entrance to the exhibition on the museum's fifth floor, reads: "Visitors may find some images in this exhibition thought-provoking, controversial and potentially offensive."
The DUP's William Humphrey said they had not reached "a meeting of minds" with the museum representatives during the meeting, but it was "important that we set out clearly our strong concerns".
He said the painting was based on an actual event, and he had been contacted by a constituent who was "appalled that he and members of his family are being depicted in this painting as being members of the Ku Klux Klan".
He said the museum had "acknowledged that there is a problem by erecting warning signs", but his party was "deeply disappointed that this derogatory painting will remain on display".
The Royal Ulster Academy exhibition has been running at the Ulster Museum since 16 October.
More than 35,000 people have visited the museum in that period, with about 4,000 visiting over the past weekend.
The painting has already been purchased by a private collector, but will hang in the museum until the exhibition concludes.


A couple who were forced to cancel their wedding after the groom was paralysed in a freak stag-do accident in Majorca have set a new date.

James Thorpe, 28, broke his neck after falling while in the sea in Magaluf in June, ahead of his wedding to fiancÃ©e Michaela Watson.
He was left paralysed from the chest down and is currently receiving specialist treatment in Sheffield.
The couple, from Boston, Lincolnshire, now plan to marry on 14 July.
Ms Watson said the couple wanted to keep everything the same.
"Myself and James didn't want to change anything - we wanted it to be the exact same day, same venue and same photographer."
More on this and other local stories from across Lincolnshire
The firefighter, who is expected to come home from hospital in the next few weeks, said he is making good progress, and the new wedding date has given him a target to aim at.
"I've got a lot of rehab to do when I get out of hospital, and hopefully that will do the trick," he said.
"If I'm not walking, I would like to be at least standing at the altar.
"We will eventually get the wedding we've been hoping for."
He said his friends, family and Michaela had been amazing in helping him to come to terms with what happened.
"I think back to it and I'm so lucky - I was very close to not being here," he added.
"I had a good group of friends with me who managed to get me out of the water safely without doing anymore damage.
"My aim is to make a full recovery, but I know in the back of my mind it might not be possible, but you've got to set your targets high."


One of two senior council officers questioned by police over a £10m loan to a football club has resigned.

David Kennedy will leave his job as chief executive of Northampton Borough Council at the end of July.
It comes as police investigate "alleged financial irregularities" regarding the council's £10m loan to Northampton Town Football Club.
The money, released in 2013 to fund the redevelopment of Sixfields Stadium and nearby land, has yet to be recovered.
Mr Kennedy, who was appointed in 2007, was questioned by police under caution last month along with borough solicitor Francis Fernandes.

The BBC understands Mr Kennedy has been off work on sick leave.
In a statement, he said: "I have been proud to serve the public of Northampton for the last decade.
"I have concluded that the time is right for someone else to lead the council's excellent and committed staff.
"I want to thank all those who have worked with me and supported me since 2007 and wish them well in the future."
The statement released by the borough council goes on to clarify that Mr Kennedy's resignation "is not the subject of any termination payment, pension enhancement or settlement agreement".


The Duchess of Cambridge tried her hand at conducting a prestigious symphony orchestra on the final day of the royal tour of Germany.

Her Royal Highness took the baton at the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra's new home, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall.
It was part of an event where 250 schoolchildren were introduced to music in front of the Duke and Duchess.
The Royal party are due back in the UK on Friday evening, after a five-day tour that began in Poland on Monday.
On the last day of the tour, the Duchess, who comes from a musical family and played the flute at school, took the musicians through the first notes of Beethoven's fifth symphony.
The royal couple then listened to a performance of a symphony especially adapted for young people, and then went on stage to learn more about the orchestra.
Earlier, Catherine and William walked around the stage accompanying six children trying out different instruments, including a violin, flute, timpani [kettle drums] and trombone.
Later the Duke of Cambridge gave Prince George and Princess Charlotte a guided tour of a helicopter at the Airbus factory in Hamburg.
Prince George tried on a pilot's helmet while Princess Charlotte played with buttons in the cockpit.
The Duke flew helicopters when he was an air ambulance pilot.
Antoine van Gent, head of flight testing at Airbus, said: "The Duke was very relaxed showing his children the professional aircraft he uses.
"George was excited, with the first helicopter he wanted to sit in the cockpit and then he wanted to sit in the next one, he already knew there was a difference between them."
Charlotte was less impressed after taking a tumble on the concrete after leaving the aircraft but Mr van Gent said she enjoyed playing in the pilot's seat.


Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with vandalising heritage railway carriages used in the filming of ITV drama Downton Abbey.

The carriages on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in Pickering were damaged overnight on 22 July.
Two boys, both aged 17, had been arrested and released while under investigation, North Yorkshire Police said.
The force has asked people who may have images of the incident to contact them.

Damage to the teak carriages, which date from 1930 to 1950, was extensive with windows smashed, furniture and fittings damaged.
The charity which runs the heritage railway said it was unable to estimate the cost of repairing the set of eight carriages but said it would "run into thousands".
It said it had been "overwhelmed" by support and had received almost Â£20,000 in donations in less than 24 hours.
The carriages are owned by several groups and individuals and were restored by the London and North Eastern Railway Coach Association, a volunteer-run, charitable organisation which restores heritage coaches.
They are used and maintained by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and have appeared in numerous television shows and films.


Substitute Andy King's late winner revived Leicester's Premier League survival hopes as they beat West Ham.

Esteban Cambiasso's superb 20-yard left-footed strike gave Nigel Pearson's side the early lead, but the Foxes' David Nugent then had a penalty saved.
West Ham enjoyed a sustained spell of pressure after that and deserved Chiekhou Kouyate's equaliser.
Kouyate hit the post in the second half, but King turned in Jamie Vardy's mis-hit shot with four minutes to play.
It was the Wales midfielder's first goal of the season, and ended Leicester's run of eight league matches without a win, stretching back to 10 January.
Nigel Pearson's side remain bottom of the table, four points adrift of safety, but the attacking threat they showed will give their manager hope that they can yet avoid the drop.
Pearson's need for victories prompted him to play an extra attacking midfielder in Riyad Mahrez, rather than bring in a direct replacement for injured centre-back Matthew Upson.
The result was a first-half display full of attacking vigour, but marked by defensive vulnerability. Leicester's decision to bring on Marc Albrighton for Mahrez at half-time did at least reduce the threat that Aaron Cresswell had been providing down the West Ham left, although both teams continued to create openings in a terrific match.
The hosts should have been two goals up inside the first 15 minutes of a breathless contest, yet could have been behind by the break.
Cambiasso's strike gave them the ideal start, as he steered a shot into the corner after Nugent's attempted pass had bounced off the back of defender James Collins.
Within moments, Hammers full-back Carl Jenkinson conceded a penalty with a mistimed sliding challenge on Leonardo Ulloa, but keeper Adrian - who looked to have come off his line early - dived to his left to save Nugent's spot-kick.
The visitors had several chances to equalise before they did, eventually scoring when Jeffrey Schlupp got underneath Alex Song's diagonal ball in, leaving Kouyate unmarked to control and finish at the far post.
The final 25 minutes brought a glut of opportunities at both ends, with Leicester substitute Jamie Vardy passing up three in quick succession.
West Ham rode that spell of pressure to create several good openings of their own, the best of which ended with Kouyate hitting the post after being set up by Diafra Sakho.
Kasper Schmeichel made a terrific flying save to tip over Downing's deflected shot, and Jenkinson headed Morgan Amalfitano's cross straight at the Leicester keeper.
But in a gripping finish, Andrej Kramaric had a shot cleared off the line moments before fellow substitute King scrambled in a winner to Pearson's delight.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson: "In the first half, we got off to a good start and missed a penalty - and I think the players had a moment of doubting themselves.
"That allowed West Ham to have a dominant spell. But in the second half, we did a good job of taking the initiative again, and I think we deserved to win the game."
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce: "I just can't believe we missed so many chances. When you're in control of the game, you have to take the chances when you get them.
"Against a team battling for survival such as Leicester, if you get the lead, it kills them. They start to think: 'Here we go again.' That's how ruthless you have to be. Because we didn't do that, it gave them the chance."

An intruder who attacked and killed an 81-year-old woman before setting her body on fire has admitted manslaughter.

Tautrydas Narbutas, 24, was caught by police officers at the home of Albertina Choules near Marlow Bottom, Buckinghamshire, on 6 July 2016.
Detectives said they could not "begin to imagine" how terrifying the attack would have been for Mrs Choules.
Narbutas appeared at Reading Crown Court via videolink where he admitted the killing but denied murder.
His plea to the charge of manslaughter by virtue of diminished responsibility was accepted by the prosecution.
More news from Buckinghamshire
"This was a horrific incident in which a woman was attacked and killed at random by Narbutas," said Mike Lynch from Thames Valley Police.
"Mrs Choules was retired, and lived a peaceful life at her home in Marlow. That came to an end on the day Narbutas entered her property."
A medical expert appointed by the Crown Prosecution Service agreed with the defence that Narbutas's "responsibility for the crime was substantially diminished".
Lithuanian Narbutas, of Chiltern Avenue, High Wycombe, also admitted one count of affray. He will be sentenced on 3 October.
Mrs Choules was attacked at her home in Ragmans Lane, where she had lived alone since her husband died in 2004.
She died of a head injury before her body was set alight.
Mrs Choules, known as Tina, was of Italian descent and had no children.
She was "completely unafraid of being in such an isolated spot", her niece said shortly after her death.
In a statement released at the time, her family said she was "incredibly special, as was her simple, self-sufficient way of life with no electricity, television or washing machine".
She was "completely selfless" and would be missed "very dearly", they added.


The murder trial of a US marine accused of murdering a transgender woman has started at a local court in the Philippines.

Prosecutors say Joseph Scott Pemberton killed Jennifer Laude in a hotel room after discovering her gender.
The case has strained ties between the US and the Philippines, a former US colony where the Americans have a significant military presence.
The trial began after attempts to strike a plea deal failed.
Laude's family were reportedly offered 21m pesos ($468,000; £315,000) to approve lowering the charge from murder to homicide, which carries a lesser maximum sentence, though one of Pemberton's lawyers was cited by AFP news agency as denying money had been offered.
Julita Cabillan, Laude's mother, told reporters that "no amount of money could pay for the years I spent raising my child".
The marine was transported to the court in Olongapo, a city north-west of the capital Manila, by US escorts.
Under the terms of a defence pact signed between the US and the Philippines, the US retained custody of Pemberton, despite demands for him to be handed over to Philippine authorities.
The prosecutors' first witness was a hotel worker who testified to having seen Pemberton with Laude on the night she was killed.
Pemberton, who was 19 at the time of the killing, faces life in prison if found guilty.
He declined to enter a plea at a pre-trial hearing last month, as he is attempting to have the case dismissed by a higher court.


Tyrone's Mattie Donnelly is unlikely to be face any sanction following his apparent tangle with Derry's Chrissy McKaigue in Sunday's Ulster SFC game.

Media playback is not supported on this device
BBC Sport understands that GAA disciplinary bosses felt that the video evidence of the Celtic Park incident was inconclusive.
Donnelly appeared to raise his hand towards the Derry player but referee Maurice Deegan took no action.
The incident was early in the second half when Derry were four points down.
However, Tyrone then took total control as they eventually clinched a 0-22 to 0-11 victory.
BBC Championship pundit Oisin McConville said after the game that it was "something that the disciplinary committee may have a look at".
"It wasn't dealt with on the day so they are able to have another look at it," McConville said on BBC Northern Ireland's Championship programme.
"Us looking at the pictures, can you conclusively say it was a punch in the mouth? It's a difficult one.
"I can imagine if Tyrone went up to defend that, they would be able to get (Donnelly) off on this occasion.
"(But) From what we saw, it was a clear enough strike. Certainly at that stage, Derry were were well in the game and it (a Donnelly red card) would have made a huge amount of difference to that match."
The Trillick man was sent off for striking Cavan's Seanie Johnston in a Dr McKenna Cup in January and was banned retrospectively for one match during the Football League following a post-match altercation with Mayo's Aidan O'Shea in March.


The highly-anticipated space exploration video game No Man's Sky has been released on PlayStation in the US.

9 August 2016 Last updated at 00:04 BST
The game was first announced in 2014 but suffered delays and a legal challenge over its name from satellite television broadcaster Sky.
It will reach the UK on Wednesday, and PC gamers across the rest of the galaxy on Friday.
BBC Click's Marc Cieslak spoke to its creator Sean Murray, to find out how the game's enormous universe was developed.


Stan Wawrinka has turned to former Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek to further his "knowledge and understanding of the grass".

In 11 appearances at Wimbledon, two-time Grand Slam champion Wawrinka has never reached the semi-finals, losing in the last eight in 2014 and 2015.
Krajicek, now 44, won the men's singles title there in 1996, becoming the first Dutch player to do so.
He will join 31-year-old Wawrinka for the next four weeks.
Wawrinka, who considers clay his best surface, added: "It's a real privilege and honour to add such a champion to my corner."
The Swiss world number five has won both the Australian Open and French Open, also reaching the US Open semi-finals twice.


The Aberdeen man who appeared in a recruitment video for the Islamic militant group Isis has said he is prepared to die for what he believes.

Abdul Rakib Amin, who is believed to be 26, was seen urging western Muslims to join the fighting in the jihadi film.
He has now spoken to ITV's Good Morning Britain.
He said: "I left with the intention not to go back, I'm going to stay and fight until the Khilafah (rule of Islam) is established or I die."
Amin said: "I left the UK to fight for the sake of Allah to give everything I have for the sake of Allah.
"One of the happiest moments in my life was when the plane took off from Gatwick Airport, I was so happy, as a Muslim you cannot live in the country of Kuffars (disbelievers).
"I didn't know how to fight with weapons before, so everyone has to go to a training camp, and after the training camp you go to an Islamic training camp."
It is understood he attended Sunnybank Primary and St Machar Academy in Aberdeen.
The original 13-minute video, There Is No Life Without Jihad, was posted by accounts linked to Isis.


An Egyptian woman, believed to be the world's heaviest at 500kg (1,102lb), has undergone weight reduction surgery.

A spokesperson at Mumbai's Saifee Hospital said Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty, 36, had lost 100kg since arriving in India in January.
"We are trying to get her fit enough to fly back to Egypt as soon as possible," the hospital said in a statement.
Her family said she had not left her house for 25 years until she came to Mumbai on a chartered plane.
The spokesperson told the BBC that she was likely to lose more weight in the coming months.
The surgery was performed by a team of doctors led by bariatric surgeon, Dr Muffazal Lakdawala.
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese (having a body mass index of 40 or above or 35 plus other obesity-related health conditions).
Ms Abd El Aty's family says she weighed 5kg (11lb) at birth and was diagnosed with elephantiasis, a condition in which body parts swell due to a parasitic infection.
By the time she was 11, her weight had risen sharply and she suffered a stroke which left her bedridden.
She is cared for by her mother and sister.
However, Dr Lakdawala told the BBC in December that he believed Ms Abd El Aty did not have elephantiasis but suffered from obesity-related lymphoedema which causes gigantic swelling of the legs.
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is used as a last resort to treat people who are dangerously obese and carrying an excessive amount of body fat.
The two most common types of weight loss surgery are:


The US armed forces chief says Islamic State (IS) militants are being damaged by air strikes in Syria but air power alone is not enough to defeat them.

Gen Martin Dempsey said a political solution and a ground campaign would both be needed in Iraq and Syria.
Gen Dempsey said that up to 15,000 fighters - to be drawn from Syria's moderate opposition - would be needed for a ground force in Syria.
On Friday, the UK agreed to join US-led air strikes on IS in Iraq.
French fighter jets are already taking part in strikes in Iraq with Belgium and the Netherlands each pledging six F-16s planes and Denmark deploying seven.
Speaking at the Pentagon, Gen Dempsey said this week's strikes in Syria had disrupted IS's command, control and logistics capabilities.
He said it would take more than air power to recapture lost territory in Syria and neighbouring Iraq but a ground force did not need to involve US troops.
"In fact, ideally for the kind of issues we are confronting there, the only truly effective force that will actually be able to reject Isil (IS) from within its own population is a force comprised of Iraqis and Kurds and moderate Syrian opposition," he said.
About 40 countries, including several from the Middle East, have joined the US-led coalition against IS.
European countries have so far only agreed to strike targets in Iraq where the government has asked for help.
But US, Saudi and United Arab Emirates aircraft have also attacked IS targets in eastern Syria, including oil installations.
US-led air raids over Syria are now "near continuous", a US official told AFP news agency on Friday.
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel told reporters: "Combined with our ongoing efforts in Iraq, these strikes will continue to deny Isil (IS) freedom of movement and challenge its ability to plan, direct, and sustain its operations."
On Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov questioned the legality of air strikes in Syria because they were carried out without the approval of Russia's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"It's very important that such co-operation with Syrian authorities is established, even now that it's an accomplished fact," he said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
The Red Cross has also warned that air strikes in Iraq and Syria are adding to an already dire humanitarian situation.
In a statement from its headquarters in Geneva, the group called on all those involved in the conflict to spare the civilian population, and to allow aid agencies to bring relief.
IS controls large parts of north-east Syria and earlier this year seized swathes of northern Iraq including the second city, Mosul.
The Iraqi army, which initially crumbled, is now standing its ground and Kurdish fighters in the north of Iraq are also battling to stem the IS advance.
In Syria, militants are laying siege to the key northern town of Kobane and an estimated 140,000 civilians - mostly Kurds - have fled across the nearby Turkish border.
The situation there remains tense, with Turkish troops trying to prevent Turkish and Syrian Kurds crossing the border to help defend the town.
After a lengthy debate in the UK parliament on Friday, MPs overwhelmingly voted in favour of air strikes, and six RAF Tornados could be called into action over the weekend.
Prime Minister David Cameron told MPs: "This is about psychopathic terrorists that are trying to kill us and we do have to realise that, whether we like it or not, they have already declared war on us."
Earlier in the week, the UN Security Council adopted a binding resolution compelling states to prevent their nationals from joining jihadists in Iraq and Syria.
The European Union's anti-terrorism chief says about 3,000 Europeans have gone to join armed Islamist groups in the region.
IS has killed three Western hostages in recent weeks and French public support for the operation surged after the beheading of a French tourist in Algeria by captors who swore allegiance to the group.
Who are Islamic State (IS)?


A judge in Argentina has indicted the head of human rights organisation the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo.

Hebe de Bonafini, 88, has been charged with misusing public funds allocated to a social housing project.
The programme, created by former President Cristina FernÃ¡ndez, was managed by Mrs De Bonafini's foundation, a world-famous collective of mothers looking for children who disappeared during the dictatorship.
She maintains her innocence.
As a close ally of the ex-president, she says the case against her is politically motivated and orchestrated by current President Mauricio Macri, who came into power in 2015.
"Thank you Macri for giving me the honour of being accused," she said sarcastically on Monday.
Prosecutors allege that about $13m (Â£10m) of public funding in the Shared Dreams programme was diverted inappropriately.
Her former aide, Sergio Schoklender, will also be investigated, according to local media.
Mrs De Bonafini has previously refused to appear in court to give evidence.
The movement of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo is highly lauded in Argentina for its human rights work.
It emerged when a military junta ruled the country (1976 -1983) and a group of women paraded around the central square in Buenos Aires to draw attention to their missing children.
Its a tradition they keep, every Thursday, to this day.
Mrs Bonafini has two sons who were "disappeared" by the military government.
The mothers group has previously said they wanted to do some of the work their children, who were mostly left-wing activists, would have ended up doing if they were alive.
The $53m Shared Dreams programme was devised to build housing, schools and health centres in low-income neighbourhoods. It was abruptly halted in 2011.
Investigations then revealed that Mr Schoklender was the major shareholder in Meldorek, the construction company used by the Mothers.


A small group of photographers have turned their lenses on the urban landscape, seeking to capture the beauty of the architecture around us.

The images explore the idea of sacred geometries, the perfect mix of proportion and mathematical ratios that are pleasing to the eye and a reflection of those found in nature.
The pictures can be seen at the Anise Gallery in London until 15 April 2017.


You've probably heard of animals camouflaging themselves, or birds like peacocks showing off their most brightly coloured feathers.

But what about wearing make-up, or dyeing their feathers?
A species of vulture, which has a yellow face and white feathers, has been spotted trying to colour themselves red.
Egyptian vultures dip their heads in soil and rub it from side to side, to dye their head, neck and chest darker.
The birds are found on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, off the coast of west Africa.
But it seems some vultures want to change their look more than others. Some only use a little mud, going for a pale brown shade, while others want to be a deep crimson.
The idea of animals painting themselves - in this case by taking a mud bath - is called "cosmetic colouration".
Scientists say it's a rare phenomenon among birds, and whether they choose to do it or not doesn't depend on the age, or whether the bird's male or female.
Well there are a number a possible reasons. The scientists had been wondering if it was for health reasons, to keep bacteria and viruses away.
But then again, if bathing was so good for birds, then why wouldn't more take mud baths?
One other type of vulture - the bearded vulture - also bathe in mud, but they do it in secret. Scientists think the reason might be to show their importance and authority to other birds of the same kind as they spend a lot of their time alone.
Egyptian vultures could do it for the same reason. The researchers say as only some birds paint themselves, the bird do are perhaps trying to show they are something special.
And it seems these vultures are prepared to go extreme lengths to improve their appearance.
A few years ago scientists in Spain reported that Egyptian vultures had been seen eating cow dung and pecking at droppings to keep its face bright yellow.
And it's all to attract a mate, by showing off what healthy and strong birds they are. Typical!


With only about 50m left to drill, time is running out for the Russian scientists hoping to drill into Vostok - the world's most enigmatic lake.

Vostok is a sub-glacial lake in Antarctica, hidden some 4,000m (13,000ft) beneath the ice sheet.
With the Antarctic summer almost over, temperatures will soon begin to plummet; they can go as low as -80C.
Scientists will leave the remote base on 6 February, when conditions are still mild enough for a plane to land.
The team has been drilling non-stop for weeks.
"It's like working on an alien planet where no one has been before," Valery Lukin, the deputy head of Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) in St Petersburg, which oversees the project, told BBC News.
"We don't know what awaits us down there," he said, adding that personnel at the station have been working shifts, drilling 24 hours a day.
But some experts remain concerned that probing the lake's water - thought by some to be isolated from everything else on Earth - could contaminate the pristine ecosystem and cause irreversible damage.
The sub-glacial lake is located underneath the remote Vostok station in Antarctica.
Overlaid by nearly 4km of ice, it has been isolated from the rest of the world for millions of years. Some scientists think the ice cap above and at the edges has created a hydrostatic seal with the surface, preventing lake water from escaping or anything else from getting inside.
And if the Russian team gets through to the pristine waters, they hope to encounter life forms that have never been seen.
It was at the Vostok station that the coldest temperature ever found on Earth (-89°C) was recorded on 21 July 1983.
Normally, water in such extreme conditions exists only in one state: ice. And when, in the 1970s British scientists in Antarctica received strange radar readings at the site, the presence of a liquid, freshwater lake below the ice did not instantly spring to mind.
It was not until 1996 that the discovery was formally acknowledged, after satellites sent in the images outlining the lake's contours.
Space radar revealed that the sub-glacial body of fresh water was one of the largest lakes in the world - and one of some 150 subglacial lakes in Antarctica.
At 10,000 square km and with depths reaching 800m, it is similar to Lake Baikal in Siberia or Lake Ontario in North America.
Since the lake has remained sealed off from the rest of the world, scientists estimate that conditions in it have probably remained unchanged for some 15 million years.
For liquid water to exist in Antarctica, glaciologists suggest that the ice cap serves as a giant insulating blanket, able to capture the Earth's geothermal heat to melt the bottom of the ice sheet.
Eager to explore the ancient lake, scientists started drilling and managed to go as deep as about 3,600m - but when the untouched waters were only some 130m away, in 1998, the project ground to a halt.
"We had to stop because of the concerns of possible contamination of the lake," explained Alexey Ekaikin, a member of the current expedition, who spoke to the BBC Russian Service from Vostok station.
He said that drilling was resumed in 2004, when the team came up with new, ecologically safe methods of probing the lake.
In November 2010, the scientists submitted a final environmental evaluation of the project to the Antarctic Treaty's environmental protection committee and were given the go-ahead to sample the ancient waters.
They said that instead of drilling into the lake, they would go down until a sensor on the drill detects free water.
Then they would take the drill out without going any further and adjust the pressure so that instead of any liquid in the borehole falling down into the lake, water in the lake would be sucked up.
Then the drill would be taken away and left for quite some time to freeze, creating a plug of frozen ice in the bottom of the hole.
Finally, next season, the team would drill down again to take a sample of that ice and analyse it.
But the work has not been going very smoothly, being repeatedly delayed because of technical difficulties.
"Up until three km down, drilling is usually relatively easy - it has been done in Greenland and here in Antarctica. But after three km and as we near the bottom [of the ice sheet], the ice temperature gets very close to the ice melting point, and all sorts of problems begin," said Dr Ekaikin.
Dr Lukin added that additional difficulties arise from the changing structure of the ice - after about 3,600m, it is pure frozen lake water, composed of huge round monocrystals of a metre or more in diameter and as hard as glass.
That is why for the past few weeks, the team had been advancing at a snail's pace - about 1.6m a day.
They have already reached the 3,700m mark and have just some 50m more to go.
Dr Ekaikin said that having analysed the ice cores obtained so far, the scientists have already discovered some bacteria that are likely to be living at the bottom of the lake, where the water is warmer because of the heat coming from the Earth.
Besides possibly discovering new microorganisms, sampling the waters could also move us a step closer to the understanding of similar glacial conditions at one of Jupiter's moons, Europa.
Its surface, researchers suspect, is covered by a huge ocean, hidden within a thick shell of ice.
Despite all the precautions, some international observers still dub the project a threat to the ancient sub-glacial lake.
"It's probably almost impossible to make something absolutely, utterly and totally clean," said Dr Andy Smith, a glaciologist at the British Antarctic Survey.
"It's worth [sampling the waters], as even though originally it seemed a really wild thing to expect, there will be life there -  anywhere we go on the planet where there's an extreme environment, we always find life.
"But we have to make a huge effort not to spoil the environment by being interested in it," he added.
But the Russians working in Antarctica believe that the risks are virtually non existent and that the possibility of a great discovery makes it entirely worthwhile.
In 2006, researchers reported evidence for a network of rivers under the ice which connect Antarctica's sub-glacial lakes. Some scientists think this could spell trouble for the prospects of finding microbial life that has evolved "independently".
Nevertheless, some of those on the team working at Lake Vostok have been waiting for a eureka moment for decades, and have been coming to the base to drill since the discovery of the lake in the 1970s.
Now they are hoping the technology will not fail them and they will be able to reach the waters before the season ends on 6 February.
Because if not, they will have to stay patient for yet another long year.


GPs face losing control of managing the flu vaccine programme following supply problems in England this winter, the government's head of immunisation says.

There is a "pretty compelling" case for the government taking charge of ordering and supplying jabs, said Professor David Salisbury.
GPs ran out of seasonal flu jabs earlier this month, forcing ministers to use swine flu vaccine stockpiles.
The BMA said changing the "complex and intense" programme would not work.
Most vaccines, including the entire childhood immunisation programme, are ordered by the Department of Health for the whole of the UK.
Flu is one of the few exceptions, with GPs in England ordering jabs direct from manufacturers and similar systems operating elsewhere in the UK.
Prof Salisbury said this was a "historic hangover" that now needed addressing.
He is leading a review into what happened this winter with the shortages. Even though there is plenty of the 2009 pandemic vaccine left it does not protect patients against all the strains of flu circulating.
In an interview with the BBC News website, Prof Salisbury said: "Certainly this winter we have seen an unsatisfactory position. That is a situation that we don't want to see happen again.
"We compare that with the routine childhood immunisation programme where we have not had to suspend part of the programme because of shortage of vaccine for at least a decade. This argues that we do need to look very carefully at whether flu vaccine supply can be done on a more dependable basis."
The government has set up a tailored IT system that allows officials to supply vaccines to the NHS within hours of orders coming in. Those vaccines can then be tracked and there is an up-to-date record of how many are left in the system.
But Prof Salisbury said any move to take ordering away from GPs would take time.
Read the full interview
Doctors get paid for running the vaccine programme and Prof Salisbury conceded the payment issues would need resolving. He said the government would be seeking talks soon.
He suggested as an interim measure for next winter, the government in England may purchase an emergency stockpile as happens in Scotland.
He also suggested the shortages that were reported could have been down to GPs giving the vaccine to those who were not in high risk groups.
However, he added it would be wrong to blame anyone at the moment as the issue needed looking at thoroughly.
But the British Medical Association rejected the suggestions.
Dr Richard Vautrey, deputy chairman of the BMA's GPs' committee, said he did not believe doctors had relaxed restrictions.
He said the shortage was more likely to be caused by the late surge and the fact that healthy pregnant women had been added to the risk groups fairly late on.
On the issue of handing control of the vaccination campaign to the government, he said: "I don't think a wholesale change like this would work. The flu programme is complex and intense as we have a lot of people coming for immunisation at once.
"That does not happen with childhood vaccines and so I am not sure a central system could cope with the volume of vaccine GPs need almost all at once.
"What we need is for an emergency stock to be held, perhaps regionally, in case doctors do run out."
Prof Salisbury also re-entered the debate about vaccinating healthy children - there have been calls for this to happen after a number of children died or became seriously ill this winter.
Current vaccination policy is based on immunising those most at risk of getting seriously ill. But he said there was "merit" in also vaccinating those who were the most likely to spread the disease - children - as a way of curbing the scale of future outbreaks.
He said this was a matter for the government's independent expert body, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, to consider and it needed to be proved cost-effective, but he said in his personal view it was an "attractive concept".


Championship side Brentford have unveiled revised plans for their proposed new stadium, with capacity reduced from 20,000 to 17,250 seats.

Facilities for Brentford's Community Sports Trust will be built next to the stadium, rather than inside it.
The Bees now plan to start construction of the stadium in 2018, to be completed by late 2019 or the start of 2020.
A club statement said: "These amendments will not impact on the overall quality of the stadium."
The amendment will be presented to members of the London Borough of Hounslow Planning Committee on 24 August, before plans are submitted to the council in early September.


Scotland should follow England's lead and routinely weigh pupils while they are at primary school, a cancer charity has recommended.

Pupils are currently weighed in P1, but Cancer Research UK said the measurement programme should be expanded.
Obesity is the single biggest preventable cause of cancer after smoking, according to the charity.
The Scottish Parliament's health committee is hearing evidence on obesity from a range of experts.
Recent figures from Cancer Research UK's statistics team found more than 10% of children in Scotland have started primary school overweight or obese between 2005-2006 and 2014-2015.
This amounted to almost 83,000 four to five-year-olds who started P1 carrying excess weight over 10 years.
Scottish children are also more likely to be overweight than in other areas of the UK.
In a paper submitted to the committee ahead of Tuesday's sitting, Cancer Research UK said: "We welcome the fact that children are routinely weighed and measured at P1 in primary school.
"Monitoring BMI status of children is vital to both monitor societal trends, the impact of interventions and identify social inequalities linked to obesity.
"We believe that this measurement programme should be expanded to include the routine measurement of children in P6... as is currently done in England."
The charity also said it shared the "disappointment" expressed by Public Health Minister Shona Robison over the UK government's Childhood Obesity Strategy, which does not ban the advertising of junk food before the 21:00 watershed.
The committee is hearing evidence from the British Dietetic Association, NHS Scotland and Obesity Action Scotland among others, during Tuesday's session.
It is sitting as the publication of a Scottish government health report monitoring obesity revealed that last year almost two-thirds of adults aged 16 and over in Scotland were overweight, including 29% who were obese.
Levels of both measures increased between 1995 and 2008, but have remained relatively stable since then, the report found.
Since 1998, the proportion of children at risk of being overweight - including obesity - has fluctuated between 28% and 33%.
Last year, 28% of children were at risk of being overweight, including 15% at risk of obesity.
The Scottish government has said it encourages people to be more active, eat less and eat better and is examining a range of actions to improve diet, physical activity and education.


IAAF president Lord Coe will double the world governing body's anti-doping budget as part of his plan to rebuild trust in athletics.

Since Coe was elected, Russia has been barred from world athletics for alleged involvement in widespread doping.
Coe's predecessor Lamine Diack is the subject of a police investigation, while IAAF official Nick Davies has stepped aside over a separate matter.
Coe said: "Be under no illusion about how seriously I take these issues."
The 59-year-old Briton, a former Olympic 1500m champion, was elected president of the IAAF in August.
He said: "I am president of an international federation which is under serious investigations and I represent a sport under intense scrutiny."
Media playback is not supported on this device
As well as taking the IAAF's anti-doping budget to £5.45m, Coe wants to appoint a new chief executive by the middle of 2016, establish a separate integrity unit for athletics before this summer's Olympics, and double the international testing pool of athletes to 1,000.
The integrity unit, one of Coe's election manifesto promises, will review issues such as doping, corruption, betting and age manipulation.
"My vision is to have a sport that attracts more young people," said Coe. "The average age of those watching track and field is 55. This is not sustainable."
He said the key was to create "a sport that people trust once more".
Coe added: "Athletics must be a sport that athletes, fans, sponsors, media and parents alike know is safe to compete in on a level playing field and one in which clean effort is rewarded and celebrated."
Diack is being investigated over allegations he took payments for deferring sanctions against Russian drugs cheats.
Davies, IAAF deputy general secretary, stepped aside while the organisation's ethics board looks into a plan to delay naming Russian drug cheats before the 2013 World Championships in Moscow. He denies wrongdoing.


Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been released from his contract by mutual agreement.

The 31-year-old Togo international had not featured for Spurs this season and was left out of both their Premier League and Europa League squads.
"We wish Emmanuel well for the future," a Tottenham statement said.
Adebayor, who arrived from Manchester City for £5m in 2012, had a year to run on his contract and had been seeking a £5m pay-off to end it early.
Tottenham have not disclosed the terms of the termination agreement.
Speaking earlier this week, Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino said Adebayor was not "in my mind or in the plans for the future of Spurs".
West Ham had been keen to sign the former Arsenal and Real Madrid player during the summer transfer window but were put off by his high wage demands, as were Aston Villa, who enquired about a loan deal.
Adebayor spent a successful season on loan at Spurs from Manchester City in 2011-12, scoring 17 goals.
He managed 18 league goals in 47 league appearances after signing a permanent deal but featured just 17 times last season, having been granted two periods of compassionate leave for personal reasons.
Adebayor's opportunities were further limited after Spurs signed South Korea striker Son Heung-min for £22m in August.


The remote Algerian gas plant at the centre of a deadly hostage-taking last month has partially resumed production.

The Tigantourine  plant has been closed since the attack by al-Qaeda-linked gunmen who took hundreds of local and dozens of foreign workers hostage.
After four days the Algerian army ended the siege by storming the complex, but 29 insurgents and at least 37 hostages were killed.
The plant is now operating at about a third of capacity, reports said.
When in full operation, the plant produces about 9bn cu m of gas a year, or about 11% of the total produced by Algeria - a key supplier of gas to Europe.
Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal started up one of three gas streams at the plant, which is jointly run by BP, Algeria's state-owned Sonatrach and Norway's Statoil, state radio reported.
Sonatrach head Andelhamid Zerguine said he would call for armed guards to be deployed to help protect Algeria's remote desert energy installations.


A large fire at a Somerset landfill site which burned for five days has been put out.

An investigation into the blaze, which broke out on Saturday at the Virador site at Dimmer, has been launched.
The surface fire, which was tackled by 11 fire crews at its height, has now been fully put out and the site capped with soil, the firm said.
A spokeswoman said it would be examining records of what had recently been dumped at the site.


Greenock Morton have signed defender Michael Miller from Celtic on a one-year-contract.

The 19-year-old made 14 appearances on loan at Dumbarton last season.
Miller joins the Cappielow outfit as they prepare for life in Scottish League One, after they were relegated last season.
Manager Kenny Shiels left the Greenock outfit in the wake of relegation, and was replaced with former Clyde boss Jim Duffy.
Midfielder Dougie Imrie left Morton this week to rejoin his former side Hamilton Academical.


A man accused of causing grievous bodily harm to a pensioner who died in a street attack has had the charge upgraded to murder.

Melvyn Hargreaves, 71, died from head injuries after he was assaulted on Mercian Way, Derby, in January.
Samuel Watts, 22, had his charge upgraded to murder at Derby Crown Court.
Mr Watts, of Forman Street, Derby, was bailed and will next appear at crown court in Nottingham on 15 May.
Mr Hargreaves, who lived in Derby, died in the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham two days after the assault.


One of the UK's only female jousters is fundraising for ovarian cancer treatment which is not available to her on the NHS.

Nicky Schellander, 44, from Barnstaple, Devon, had her ovaries removed when the cancer was found in August 2015.
After pioneering surgery in London, she is fundraising £66,500 for the drug Olaparib to stop the cancer growing.
If the fundraising is successful, she hopes to be back to jousting by October, when she also plans to marry.
Ms Schellander, who has worked on films such as Snow White and the Huntsman and TV series Merlin, went to her GP in August 2015 with stomach pain and was sent home with painkillers.
More on Nicky's story, and other news
But five days later the pain was so bad she could barely walk, and after an ultrasound a "large mass" was found on her ovary.
She had surgery and chemotherapy and went into remission, but the cancer returned aggressively in February.
Ms Schellander, who lives with fiancé Cy Margieson, said: "It was devastating for me.
"The dreams that my fiancé and I held, are getting harder - we lost our baby and chance of starting a family, so now, the priority is to concentrate on staying alive."
Ms Schellander was told about the drug Olaparib, which will stop the cancer's DNA from replicating, but won't be able to access it on the NHS until she has had three rounds of chemotherapy.
"Rather than waiting for it to come back a third time I'd rather have it now," she said.
"This is the first ovarian cancer treatment to get approval from the NHS in over a decade.
"If it wasn't the only thing that might help me, I would not even consider it.
"I want to get back to full health and get back to doing what I am passionate about and also marry my soulmate."
