New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum ended his one-day international career with a 55-run win over Australia which gave the Kiwis a 2-1 series victory.

McCullum, who will retire from all cricket after the Test series against the same opponents this month, scored 47 from 27 balls in his side's 246.
Australia regularly lost wickets and were bowled out for 191.
"I feel incredibly lucky to play for 14 years, meet some great blokes and make some great friends," said McCullum, 34.
"Not many people get that opportunity and I want to thank everyone for supporting me and supporting this team over a long period of time.
"The memories will hold for the rest of my life."
McCullum hit three sixes and six fours as he finished his ODI career with 6,083 runs, which included five centuries and a highest score of 166.
He played 228 innings in 260 ODI's, with an average of 30.41 and a strike rate of 96.37.
McCullum also led New Zealand to their first World Cup final in 2015, where the Kiwis lost to Australia.
His final match was not without its share of controversy.
Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh took 3-34 during New Zealand's innings and had reached 41 with the bat when he hit a delivery back to bowler Matt Henry.
The bowler's appeal for a caught and bowled was turned down but a replay was shown on the big screen, during which the crowd reacted noisily after the ball appeared to hit the batsman's boot before looping up to the bowler.
Umpires Ian Gould and Derek Walker then asked third umpire Sundaram Ravi to review the incident and Marsh was subsequently given out.
"A bit of controversy there, I don't think there was much of an appeal," said Australia skipper Steve Smith. "And they went upstairs after the replay, a bit disappointing.
"The right decision was made no doubt about that. I don't want to take anything away from the Black Caps, they deserved to win."


A cyclist is in a critical condition and six others are injured after they hit a dead kangaroo and crashed into a car in Australia's Victoria state.

Police said the lead rider in the group of nine dodged the carcass but other cyclists clipped it, then hit an oncoming vehicle.
A man, reportedly in his 50s, was freed from beneath the vehicle.
He was flown to Melbourne's Alfred Hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
The crash happened near Shepparton, which is located about 200km from Melbourne.
Shepparton police told local media their inquiries would consider whether the rising sun made the kangaroo carcass difficult to see.


At least 26 members of the Farc rebel group have been killed in a military operation in Colombia, officials say.

The attack - in the south-western Cauca region - is the deadliest since the resumption of air raids against the rebels last month.
President Juan Manuel Santos restarted the raids after 11 soldiers were killed in an ambush.
The bloodshed comes as Farc and government representatives meet for the latest round of peace talks in Cuba.
The two sides have been in negotiations since 2012 to try to end more than half a century of conflict.
Thursday's military action comprised an air strike and ground assault against the rebel group in Guapi, Cauca, said officials.
The operation's aim was the capture of a rebel known by the alias "Javier", and two rebels were captured along with those killed, defence ministry officials told the Efe news agency.
The rebel column targeted was one the army blames for an attack on Gorgona island in November 2014, during which an army lieutenant died, the officials said.
Farc declared a unilateral truce last December, though some Farc leaders are reported to be warning that violations are making it increasingly difficult to maintain.
"The offensive continues until peace is achieved I hope as soon as possible!" said President Santos (in Spanish) after the attack.
Government and Farc representatives have reconvened in Havana, Cuba, as the latest round of negotiations inch forward.
The last meeting ended with a call from the Farc to dismantle paramilitary groups and without an agreement over reparations for the victims of the conflict, an issue that has been wrangled over for months.


A Staffordshire man has achieved his "lifelong dream" of becoming the World's Strongest Man.

Eddie "The Beast" Hall, 29, of Clayton, beat 29 other men to the title in the competition held in Botswana.
Mr Hall, who has been crowned Britain's Strongest Man four times, previously told the BBC his life was dedicated to achieving the world title.
His manager Mo Chaudry said Hall worked for a decade towards this "absolutely extraordinary" achievement.
Hall is the first Briton to win the world title since Gary Taylor 24 years ago.
Mr Chaudry said Hall had remained committed to his goal.
"There have been times when people have doubted his abilities to win and in the last two or three years I think it's got harder and harder because the other pros have got better also, and they are all very competitive."
Mr Hall, who tweeted after the contest he was retiring from World's Strongest Man contests, was a lorry maintenance worker before turning professional.
The father-of-two competed in a number of events, including carrying two fridges along a 30-metre course within 60 seconds and carrying five Atlas Stones which increase in weight from 100 kg (15 stone 10lb)  to 160 kg (25st 2lb).
Organisers say the contest is "about stamina, skill, tactics, training and strategy" with every event designed to push competitors to their "absolute limits".


A man has been injured after falling 40ft (12m) from a school building site in Londonderry.

Emergency services were called to the site of the new Foyle College on the Limavady Road after the man fell onto a flat surface of the the first floor.
The injured man was taken to Altnagelvin Hospital where he is in a stable condition.
The Health and Safety Executive is investigating the incident. It happened at about 1330 GMT on Monday.


Britain's world number 775 Marcus Willis is one match from Wimbledon's main draw after beating Russia's Andrey Rublev in the second qualifying round.

Willis, 25, won 7-5 6-4 against teenager Rublev, the world number 203.
The Slough-born British number 23 will now take on Daniil Medvedev, who was disqualified from a tournament in April for comments to an umpire.
Fellow Britons Harriet Dart and Edward Corrie are also one win away from the main draw.
Dart, the 19-year-old world number 448 and British number 11, beat Japanese 10th seed Risa Ozaki 6-4 6-3 and will take on Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova on Thursday.
Corrie, the world number 358, is also still in contention after knocking out 10th seed Michael Berrer, but Gabriella Taylor, Joe Salisbury, Daniel Cox, Katie Boulder, Lisa Whybourn and Freya Christie all saw their singles campaigns ended.


Motorsports boss Bernie Ecclestone has denied making corrupt payments to a German banker to facilitate the sale of Formula 1.

But the F1 chief told the High Court he paid £10m to Gerhard Gribkowsky because he had threatened to "shake him down" over his family's tax affairs.
Mr Ecclestone denies making a "corrupt agreement" with Gribkowsky to sell F1 to a firm of his choice.
Media group Constantin Medien says it lost out because of the alleged deal.
But Mr Ecclestone says the German company's claim "lacks any merit" and he denies any "conspiracy".
In response to allegations that he made payments to Gribkowsky totalling £27m, Mr Ecclestone said: "It was £10m as it happens."
He told the court: "I made the payment... because he said he would shake me down concerning tax arrangements with our family trust... which would have been very expensive."
Constantin claims Gribkowsky "assisted" Mr Ecclestone to facilitate the sale of an important stake in Formula 1 Group by his bank - BayernLB - to a "purchaser chosen by Mr Ecclestone" - the private equity group CVC Capital Partners.
It says payments totalling about £27m were made to Gribkowsky, a senior executive at the bank, at Mr Ecclestone's instigation.
Philip Marshall QC, representing Constantin, said at a previous hearing that the deal allowed Mr Ecclestone to retain a position with Formula 1.
There had been a "real risk" of Mr Ecclestone's removal from his position in the Formula 1 Group, he added.
Mr Marshall said Mr Ecclestone had thought CVC would support his "continuing role as chief executive" of operating companies in the Formula 1 Group.
However, Mr Marshall said Constantin had investment rights in the Formula 1 Group and had been entitled to proceeds of any sale.
He said the bank's investment was sold "without the normal and proper process", which meant Constantin lost out.
Gribkowsky was given a jail term of more than eight years after being convicted of corruption at a trial in Munich last year, Mr Marshall added.
Constantin is seeking about £90m in damages.
Lawyers for Mr Ecclestone have previously outlined their case to the judge in written arguments, in which they said Constantin's claim "lacks any merit" and denied any "conspiracy".
Robert Miles QC said: "The claim fails on each of its elements: there was no conspiracy, there was no intent to injure Constantin... Constantin has suffered no loss."
Mr Miles said it had been arranged in 2006 that Gribkowsky would be given a "consultancy package".
He said: "Mr Ecclestone agreed to a pay-off because of the tax threats and insinuations which he had received from Dr Gribkowsky."
"It is true," Mr Ecclestone told the judge in court on Wednesday. "That's what I have always said."
He also refuted that he had said different things to journalists or changed his story.
"Most of these journalists, as you know, really should be closely working with Jeffrey Archer," he added.
The trial is expected to last several weeks.


A cosmetics company has given £20,000 to charities after money raised for a homeless woman who claimed to have foiled a burglary was returned.

Lush donated the money to homeless charities in Oxford due to "current uncertainty" over the burglary.
Lottie Pauling-Chamberlain said she challenged a thief on 10 February outside Lush in Oxford.
A £9,000-fund from public donations was suspended after Thames Valley Police arrested the 29-year-old.
Ms Pauling-Chamberlain denies any wrongdoing.
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
Staff at the shop in Cornmarket Street said a laptop and large box of cosmetics had disappeared when they opened the shop earlier this month.
The next day Ms Pauling-Chamberlain, who sleeps rough in the area, returned the stolen items, saying she had thwarted a thief.
A donation fund set up by the store to thank her has raised £9,245, donated by 537 people, this was later suspended and the money has now been returned.
In a statement on the fund website, Lush said: "Due to the current uncertainty surrounding the recent burglary in our Lush Oxford shop, Lush have decided to return all of the money that has been kindly donated by the public and replace it with £20,000 of our own money."
The money is to be shared among Oxford Homeless Pathways, the Icolyn Smith Foundation and Oxford Community Soup Kitchen, Oxford Homeless Project and Aspire Oxford.
Lush said Ms Pauling-Chamberlain could access the fund through the charities.
Thames Valley Police said at the time of the arrest the 29-year-old woman was also being questioned on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs.
A man, 42, also of no fixed abode, has been arrested on suspicion of burglary. Both suspects have been released on police bail until 14 May.


Exeter racked up six tries in a rampant opening Heineken Cup win over a fitful Cardiff Blues at Sandy Park.

The Chiefs had a bonus point inside half an hour as Tom Johnson, Dean Mumm, Matt Jess and Fetu'u Vainikolo scored.
A fifth try for Ben White made it 36-3 at half-time, but the Blues hit back on the resumption to claim a losing bonus point for scoring four of their own.
Lloyd Williams, Robin Copeland, Alex Cuthbert and Harry Robinson all crossed to earn a measure of respectability.
But a penalty from replacement Henry Slade five minutes from time saw Exeter - who were reduced to 13 men after two yellow cards inside a minute early in the final quarter - have the last word.
They will head to Glasgow next weekend in buoyant mood after their best European win to date, while the Blues must regroup swiftly for the visit of defending champions Toulon  after an embarrassingly one-sided first half on Sunday.
In a debut campaign last season that included two narrow losses to three-time champions Leinster and home-and-away wins over the Scarlets, the Chiefs showed a relish to broaden their horizons.
Their early ambition - attacking from deep with ball in hand - almost cost them when Gareth Steenson's pass was intercepted by Cory Allen in the sixth minute, but the Blues centre could not hold onto the ball.
"We didn't see the Blues in that first half. They were found wanting defensively, they couldn't get the ball or keep it. It was as one-sided an encounter as I have ever seen at this level. Exeter knew the game was won in the second half, their foot came off the pedal, they made changes and lost their rhythm. The Blues couldn't have got any worse and did lift their game. There was more pride in the performance and they got four tries by sticking in there."
Undeterred, the Chiefs launched another multi-phase attack which ended in a try for England international Johnson, one of four capped players in the home line-up compared with the 13 on duty for the Blues.
The flanker was driven over by centre Jason Shoemark from close range and, with next to no possession, the Blues were grateful for Leigh Halfpenny's long-range penalty to make it 5-3.
It proved a momentary aberration though as the one-way traffic continued for the rest of the half.
With fly-half Steenson controlling matters and full-back Phil Dollman a constant threat with his incisive running and support work, Exeter were in total command.
Steenson kicked a penalty before a whirlwind spell of four tries in 14 minutes left the visitors reeling.
First Exeter were allowed to take a line-out unopposed and Australia lock Mumm broke away from the back of a ruck to cruise through a gaping hole for his fourth try of the season.
We had to make 100 tackles and we missed 20 and that is not good enough at this level
The Blues were unable to contain the pace and verve of Exeter's attack, and after Dollman's break, right wing Jess exploited a splintered defence and more weak tackling for the third try.
Tonga international Vainikolo, making his first competitive start for Exeter, stepped inside four defenders to score the fourth.
Flanker White, discarded by the Blues two years ago, could scarcely conceal his delight as he dived over with barely a hand laid on him for the fifth.
Steenson's first conversion came back off an upright, but he landed his next four with aplomb as the Chiefs established a 36-3 half-time cushion.
The only downside was seeing try-scorer Johnson limp off, but they barely missed a beat initially.
Steenson's neat dummy and dart saw Whitten cross for the sixth try 12 minutes into the second half.
As Steenson's conversion came back off an upright for a second time, Wales and Lions wing Cuthbert took a frustrated kick at the rebounding ball and proceeded to fall over, neatly encapsulating the Blues' humiliation.
But as Exeter, perhaps inevitably, stepped off the gas, the Blues rallied with two tries in four minutes, scrum-half Williams scampering over and replacement back-rower Copeland bounding through another big hole.
Halfpenny converted both and suddenly there was further cause for optimism as Exeter were reduced to 13 men inside a minute, with Whitten - for a deliberate knock-on - and replacement Sireli Naqelevuki, for a high tackle on Robinson, sent to the sin-bin.
The Blues exploited their numerical advantage as Cuthbert crossed in the right corner and Robinson darted over on the opposite flank.
They created two further chances to increase anxiety in the home ranks but Exeter composed themselves to finish the job.
Exeter head coach Rob Baxter:
"In the first half we played with real intent and the attitude that we took on to the pitch following last week was absolutely fantastic - not just to attack the game but also the physicality and strength of the carries.
"Obviously the battle for us is to keep the quality for longer periods. When you go down to 13 men you put yourself under a bit of pressure and we got ourselves down to 13 pretty unnecessarily. That flipped the whole game."
Blues director of rugby Phil Davies:
"We didn't do anything that we said we would do inthe first half, particularly for our kicking game, and that gave them too many opportunities to come back at us.
"I think we had to make 100 tackles and we missed 20 and that is not good enough at this level.
"We have to give Exeter credit for the way that they played but we had far more control on the game in the second half. To get four tries was pleasing to give us some momentum going into next week."

Syrian government troops pressed on with their offensive against rebel-held eastern parts of the city of Aleppo late into the evening.

The government has already recaptured more than 70% of the rebel-controlled areas in the east, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.
More than 100,000 people are believed to be trapped in districts still in rebel hands.
Food supplies are exhausted and there are no functioning hospitals.
Reports say government troops are now targeting rebel-held parts of the Old City.
Earlier, they seized an entire district, al-Shaar, Syria's military said on Tuesday. This was confirmed by the Observatory.
The army also made gains in the districts of Sheikh Lufti and Marja, the monitoring group said.
Meanwhile, Syria's state TV reported that rebel armed groups were "collapsing" in three districts of the Old City.
It also announced that the area around Aleppo airport in the east had been "fully liberated".
The claims have not been independently verified.
In another development earlier on Tuesday, Russia accused the US of trying to buy time for rebels in Aleppo.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the US had called off talks scheduled for Wednesday that were to focus on a possible rebel withdrawal.
"It looks like an attempt to buy time for the rebels, to have a breather, take a pause and replenish their reserves,"  he said.
US Secretary of State John Kerry rejected the suggestion that they were stalling talks.
"I'm not aware of any specific refusal," he said, on the sidelines of talks with Nato foreign ministers in Brussels.
Russia is a key ally of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and has been carrying out air strikes against rebels since September 2015.
On Monday, Russia and China vetoed a draft resolution at the UN Security Council that called for a seven-day ceasefire in Aleppo.
Russia said the document infringed a council rule that allowed countries 24 hours to consider the final wording.
The US said Russia was trying to secure recent military gains by Syrian government troops in Aleppo.
It was the sixth time in five years that Russia had used its veto power to block a draft resolution on Syria.


The comedian Eddie Izzard has returned to Northern Ireland, where he spent part of his childhood, to campaign for the UK to stay in the European Union.

He is almost half-way through his 31-city tour of UK cities during which he is taking part in debates to encourage the public to vote to remain in the EU.
Izzard claimed a British exit (Brexit) from the EU could lead to a recession.
But his claims were rejected by Leave campaigner Sammy Wilson from the DUP who described them as "not factual".
The pair disagreed over a number of Brexit-related issues, including the consequences for the economy, border controls, freedom of movement and immigration.
Izzard, who lived in Bangor, County Down, from the age of one to five, visited Methodist College in Belfast on Thursday evening as part of his 'Stand Up for Europe' campaign.
Speaking to BBC Newsline, he said: "Immigration is an issue and people do get worried about it but if we change it - if we pull out then we'll go into recession.
"Then you're worried about jobs.  Jobs will get even worse, You'll have even less opportunity for jobs because the economy will have gone down.
"So immigration is a thing that we need to control but I don't think Brexit - pulling out - is going to make the big difference."
However Mr Wilson told BBC NI's The View programme: "If you look at the countries which are in recession at the moment, they are the countries which are most closely tied into the EU and especially into the eurozone.
"If you look at the countries where young people don't have a chance for the future - 50% youth unemployment in Spain, Italy, the economy of Greece in ruins.
"Why? Because they tied themselves into the European project and they tied themselves into the Euro."
The referendum takes place on 23 June.


Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho have avoided paying tax on millions of dollars of earnings by channelling money abroad, according to claims based on a huge document leak.

Ronaldo, the Real Madrid star, and Mourinho, the Manchester United manager, allegedly moved large sums to the British Virgin Islands.
The allegations are said to be based on two terabytes of leaked information which include original contracts.
Ronaldo and Mourinho deny the claims.
Football agency Gestifute, which represents both men, said in a statement:  "Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho are fully compliant with their tax obligations with the Spanish and British tax authorities.
"Any insinuation or accusation made to Cristiano Ronaldo or Jose Mourinho over the commission of a tax offence will be reported to the legal authorities and prosecuted."
The claims were published by an international consortium of journalists which obtained a trove of about 18 million documents. Other top players were named in the documents.
The European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) consortium includes German newspaper Der Spiegel, Spain's El Mundo and the UK's Sunday Times. The consortium says it intends to publish a series of articles under the banner "Football Leaks" over the next few weeks.
The leak comes eight months after the so-called Panama Papers lifted the lid on how the world's rich and powerful use tax havens to hide their wealth.
One of the papers in the consortium, the Dutch NRC, alleges that Ronaldo moved €63.5m (£53.1m, $67.7m) to the British Virgin Islands at the end of 2014.
The paper says the striker received sponsorship fees which were moved via two Irish companies to the tax haven, 11 days before Spain changed an advantageous tax law.
The NRC says Ronaldo has so far not responded to questions asked by the consortium.
The leaked documents relate to the time that Mourinho spent as manager of Real Madrid, between 2010, and 2013, according to El Mundo.
The club, Ronaldo's current employer, did not respond to requests from news agencies for comment.
Manchester United said the allegations related to events before Mourinho's arrival at the club and so it would not comment.
Mourinho is reported to have moved €12m (£10m) into a Swiss account owned by a British Virgin Islands company, according to the EIC.
According to the reports, Friday's first batch of leaks centred on "a system" put in place by Mr Mendes, whose company has denied any wrongdoing.
His company, Gestifute, said in a statement that neither Ronaldo nor Mourinho "have been implicated in legal proceedings of the tax evasion commission in Spain".
It noted it had taken legal redress against claims of tax evasion and stressed it had always acted with "the highest degree of professionalism in relations with [its] clients and authorities".
The company accused the media consortium of operating in an "insidious" way concerning the stars' tax obligations.
Tax havens are often based on small island countries which offer banking secrecy and very low or non-existent taxes on financial transactions.
They include the British Virgin Islands, Macao, the Bahamas and Panama.
Although there are legitimate ways of using tax havens, they are often used to disguise the owners and origin of money and to avoid paying tax.
This is often done via the creation of shell companies based in the havens, which have the outward appearance of being legitimate businesses but have no real offices, staff, services or products, other than to manage money while disguising those who own it.


The Boko Haram assault on Nigeria is on two very different fronts - first there are the violent raids on villages in the north-east, then there are the bomb attacks over a much wider area.

On Wednesday in Borno state's Alagarno village, relatives and friends buried 17 of their loved ones after yet another night-time raid by suspected Boko Haram fighters. The insurgents spent four hours killing, looting and torching every building before stealing vehicles and driving away without facing any military response whatsoever.
The night before, people in Shawa village went through hell when the insurgents struck. There were 10 more burials and the insurgents promised to come back to kill all the men and take the women away.
Both these villages are not far from Chibok, where more than 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped last month. They are still missing.
But these latest 27 victims will not feature in any Twitter campaign like the abducted Chibok girls. They will join the list of thousands who have been killed and forgotten by all but their relatives and friends.
Government officials may not even utter the names Alagarno or Mawa. More troops have been sent to the towns in Borno but these remote villages seem virtually off limits to the military hence the insurgents' ability to attack for several hours and drive around in convoys.
Turning this around will not be easy but equipping the soldiers better would be a start.
Some Nigerian troops complain that they are outgunned by Boko Haram fighters. There have also been complaints over non-payment of salaries so it comes as no surprise that there have been reports of soldiers fleeing rather than fighting when the insurgents roll into a village, guns blazing.
The Chibok abductions led to intense international interest. While politicians around the world did not want to be accused of doing nothing to help rescue them, there will be a reluctance by many countries to become deeply embroiled in this complex conflict beyond sending advisers to Abuja and flying surveillance aircraft many thousands of feet above the war zone.
This is partly because the Nigerian military has frequently been accused of committing gross human rights abuses.
The second side of the violence is the bombing campaign. More than 200 people have been killed since last month in a series of blasts over a wide area from Abuja to Kano and now Jos.
Boko Haram has in the past said it wanted to create an Islamic state. But these blasts appear intended to kill as many people as possible and they are indiscriminate, killing Christians and Muslims, children and adults.
Who are Boko Haram?
Nigeria's most-wanted man
If the Jos attack was carried out by Boko Haram, then the Islamist extremists have learned to make far more sophisticated bombs in recent years. The twin bombing in Jos was a more ferocious attack than the blasts carried out by Boko Haram in 2012 when it seemed the aim was to foment religious violence.
For more than a decade, Jos, in the Middle Belt of Nigeria, has been the scene of frequent outbreaks of violence that are often described as religious clashes. In fact, they are rooted in competition for land, resources and political power.
Religious leaders have been calling on people to show restraint and not allow the bombings to spark further violence.
Where is this all heading? The ferocity, frequency and geographical spread of the attacks is alarming. There are people who suspect part of the anarchy is tied in with next year's elections and some politicians' thirst for power which goes hand in hand with immense wealth.
These days the president and government officials take less time to condemn the attacks, but there is no real sign that the military has the capacity to turn the tide against this brutal campaign of violence.
That is what terrifies many Nigerians.


Progressive Unionist Party leader Billy Hutchinson has said talks to resolve the political deadlock in Northern Ireland should involve his party.

He was speaking at the PUP's annual conference in Antrim, which also celebrated 20 years since the loyalist ceasefire.
The inter-party talks, convened by the Secretary of State Theresa Villiers, are due to begin next Thursday.
"A loyalist voice is very, very important," Mr Hutchinson said.
"My past experience in terms of standing on lawns whenever helicopters were coming in with taoiseachs and prime ministers and all the rest of it, is that isn't helpful.
"We need to have a value and I think that people have to actually recognise that 20 years on we would never have got the talks or have the Good Friday Agreement [without loyalists].
"The only reason we did was because we had all the protagonists at the table."
On Friday, First Minister Peter Robinson said he would not attend  the opening of next week's talks aimed at breaking the deadlock at Stormont.
Mr Robinson, who leads the Democratic Unionist Party, called the planned opening of the talks "a showpiece" and "a circus act for the media".
However, he said when the "real work" began the DUP would be there.
The secretary of state announced a fresh round of inter-party talks last month, just days after Mr Robinson had described the structures of  devolved government in Northern Ireland as "no longer fit for purpose".
Writing in the Belfast Telegraph on 9 September, Mr Robinson said the weight of the issues to be resolved at Stormont was so great that it "must be tackled in a St Andrews 2 setting, with government involvement".
The 2006 St Andrews Agreement paved the way for the return of devolution the following year.
Sinn FÃ©in, the second largest party in Northern Ireland's power-sharing coalition, had also called for fresh talks, and urged the British, Irish and US governments to get involved.


The trustees behind a proposed dinosaur-themed museum in a Dorset quarry have said it will go ahead despite the death of its founder.

Michael Hanlon, who came up with the idea for the £80m attraction called Jurassica, died on 9 February aged 51 after a heart attack.
The museum, covering three geological time periods, could be built in a 40m (132ft) deep quarry in Portland.
The project's trustees said they hope to secure planning permission in 2017.
The project has Sir David Attenborough as its patron.
He said: "Michael Hanlon had a thrilling vision for Jurassica - ways of using new techniques to bring to life the ancient sea monsters whose bones are still being discovered on this part of the English Coast.
"It will transform our vision of the prehistoric world.  It must happen".
The attraction would see a glass and steel roof, about a third the size of the Millennium Dome, installed over the quarry.
It would house an aquarium with robot swimming plesiosaurs, fossils and interactive displays.
The project, which is being funded through sponsors and grants, gained charitable status in 2014. It was turned down for £16m of Heritage Lottery funding in May.
Previously organisers said they had hoped to open the attraction by 2019 or 2020.


Dutch police have a said a British man whose body was found in a canal in Amsterdam had his mobile phone stolen shortly before he died.

Detectives investigating the death of Richard Cole, 30, from Dursley in Gloucestershire, said Mr Cole had been seen on CCTV before he went missing.
They said "a number of men" were suspected of robbing him and Mr Cole was "very drunk" and "an easy target".
They added the men are not suspected of being directly involved in the death.
Mr Cole went missing during a night out in the Thorbeckeplein area of the city on 25 January.
Dutch police said CCTV images showed him staggering after leaving a restaurant, before he was approached by the men.
They added Mr Cole was then seen crawling along before a taxi stopped to pick him up. Detectives want to trace the driver, who was the last person to see him alive.
Mr Cole's body was flown back to the UK earlier this week.


Hibernian and Inverness Caledonian Thistle will have to replay their Scottish Cup quarter-final after a hard-fought draw at Easter Road.

Media playback is not supported on this device
James Keatings netted in the first half but the Hibs forward was flagged offside.
But Keatings did give the home side the lead early in the second half, his eighth goal of the season coming from David Gray's low cross.
Substitute Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo finished well to level for the holders.
The two sides will meet again at the Caledonian Stadium on 16 March.
Caley Thistle had the better of the opening exchanges, forcing a succession of corners but being unable to create any real opportunities.
The home side slowly eased their way into the game and Liam Henderson floated a free-kick into the box to find Gray all alone. The full-back headed straight at Owain Fon Williams, who parried to Liam Fontaine and made another block.
On the break the visitors could have and probably should have taken the lead. Liam Polworth decided to go alone rather than play in Miles Storey but his effort from 25 yards was too high.
Then came a real let-off for the holders. Kevin Thomson played in Anthony Stokes, who made a terrific turn to fire in on goal from 12 yards. Fon Williams tipped the ball on to the post, and though Keatings was on hand to knock home the flag was raised.
Alan Stubbs was forced into a reshape of his Hibs team. Dylan McGeouch limped off to be replaced by Niklas Gunnarsson, who settled into a back three with the full-backs pushed up into midfield.
The breakthrough came when Stokes and Keatings exchanged passes before playing wide to Gray. The defender's cross was met first time by Keatings from eight yards and the finish flew past Fon Williams.
A slip-up in the Caley Thistle defence almost led to a second goal for Hibs. Carl Tremarco was slack with a clearing header and from just inside the box Henderson blasted over.
Keatings then found space on the left and his cross was met by Stokes but the striker was unable to make a clean connection.
John Hughes made two changes with Mbuyi-Mutombo and Horner replacing Polworth and Iain Vigurs and within minutes the pair combined for the equaliser.
Horner did brilliantly to cut the ball back across goal and Jordan Roberts touched on to Mutombo, who showed terrific composure before hammering beyond Mark Oxley into the roof of the net.
Williams then latched on to a loose ball 25 yards out and thundered a volley towards goal but this time Oxley was able to save as both sides had to settle for a draw.

EU leaders have appointed Italy's Federica Mogherini as EU foreign policy chief and Poland's Donald Tusk as European Council president.

The announcement came in tweets from the current council president, Herman Van Rompuy, at an EU summit.
Ms Mogherini, a centre-left politician, is Italy's foreign minister. She will replace the UK's Catherine Ashton.
Mr Tusk, Poland's centre-right prime minister, has been Polish leader since 2007. He will chair EU summits.
The full-time appointments mean that the EU's three top jobs are now filled. Mr Tusk and Ms Mogherini will work closely with the new European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker.
Mr Tusk, 57, will serve for two-and-a-half years (renewable), starting on 1 December. Ms Mogherini's term, starting on 1 November, is five years.
Mr Van Rompuy called Mr Tusk "one of the veterans of the European Council", the grouping of EU government leaders.
He is the only Polish prime minister to have been re-elected since the collapse of communism in 1989.
Mr Van Rompuy praised "the determined and confident way he has steered Poland through the economic crisis, and managed to maintain steady economic growth".
As a student Mr Tusk was active in the Solidarity anti-communist movement.
Mr Van Rompuy said Mr Tusk would face three major challenges: the stagnating European economy, the Ukraine crisis and "Britain's place in Europe".
He said the EU leaders were convinced that Ms Mogherini, 41, "will prove a skilful and steadfast negotiator for Europe's place in the world".
He noted Italy's "long-standing tradition of commitment to the European Union".
Mr Tusk then made a short address in Polish. He said that "in December I'll be 100% ready" to speak English.
Ms Mogherini, speaking fluent English, later said "the challenges are huge... all around Europe we have crises - on European soil, in Ukraine, and starting from Iraq and Syria, going to Libya".
On arrival at the summit the European Parliament President Martin Schulz, a Socialist, spoke warmly of Ms Mogherini, calling himself a "fan". It was a strong indication that she would be a popular choice among MEPs.
The parliament's approval is required for all 28 members of the new Commission, and the EU foreign policy chief, officially called the High Representative, is also a vice-president of the Commission.
Baroness Ashton, a centre-left UK politician, has been in the job since 2009. The High Representative runs the EU External Action Service (EEAS).
Italy's centre-left Prime Minister Matteo Renzi pushed hard for Ms Mogherini to get the job.
However, last month the EU failed to get a consensus on her candidacy, as the Baltic states and Poland saw her as inexperienced and too soft on Russia. She has only been Italian foreign minister since February.


When you are chancellor, you tend to know pretty much everything that is going on in government.

So the fact that Philip Hammond told me at the weekend that Hinkley "will go ahead" raises a whole host of possibilities, from the intriguing to the mundane.
For the sake of completeness, here is the full exchange between the chancellor and me when I interviewed him at the G20 summit in Chengdu, China, last Sunday.
Kamal Ahmed: "One of the big issues [in China/UK relations] is of course Hinkley. We could be very close to a final decision on that huge new nuclear power station in Somerset.  Is the government still wholly committed to that plan despite the criticisms that it is far too expensive a way to provide energy for the UK?"
Philip Hammond: "The decision we are making about investing in new nuclear power infrastructure is a 50-year time horizon decision, this is not about looking at what prices are today. It is about thinking about our energy security needs over the next 50, 60 years. This decision is now in the hands of EDF, the French company which hopefully will be in a position to make a final investment decision over the next few days."
KA: "But the government still fully supports Hinkley?"
PH: "Yes, our hope is EDF will be able to come to a conclusion quickly and then we will be able to go ahead with this project."
Pretty definite.
So, what changed between that interview and the Hinkley "pause button" decision the government announced last night?
There are a number of options.
First, that whatever caused the government to pull on the hand brake and announce a further delay only became clear over the last few days.
That would suggest Number 10 concerns, rather than broader government worries, as issues often only reach the in-tray of the Prime Minister for final decision at the last moment.
Second, that Hinkley will indeed go ahead but the connected nuclear projects at Sizewell in Suffolk and Bradwell in Essex will be reassessed.
Under the present agreement, China would be in charge of the Bradwell project, and Theresa May's adviser Nick Timothy has previously raised concerns about security and Chinese investment.
Third, that this has been a policy "Horlicks", with Number 10, the Treasury and the business department unaware of what the other was thinking.
Fourth, the whole three power station project will go ahead and the deal will be signed-off in the autumn, simply a few more weeks of bureaucratic delay for a project that, it was claimed a decade ago, would be providing electricity to cook our Christmas dinner by next year.
If Hinkley C is providing electricity by 2025, many people will be surprised.
It seems that Number 10 agreed the idea of a review of Hinkley Point C "in the last few days" - which is the reason why Mr Hammond sounded so bullish about the plans last Sunday.
Although I am told there were "various discussions" about how to handle the Final Investment Decision when it came from EDF, nothing was finalised until the last minute.
Some might say that is almost like being caught off guard by the arrival of Christmas.
But, reassurance is the word that is being used by my sources.
Not cancellation - not yet anyway.
Theresa May is a new Prime Minister who doesn't want this deal to come back and bite her on the backside in a decade's time.
If the project does suffer cost overruns or does prove an eye-wateringly expensive way of providing energy, Mrs May wants to be able to say she went through a thorough process.
And not be the Prime Minister accused of rushing such a significant decision early in her tenure.
It was always the view in government that a final decision wouldn't be necessary until the autumn.
Indeed, the French finance minister, Michel Sapin, told me earlier in the year that was the plan.
Number 10 didn't want to be bounced by EDF pulling the investment decision forward - it wanted to stick to its own timeline.
My sources say that at this stage we should not over-interpret the review.
Yes, it raises questions, but abandoning Hinkley would mean a major change in energy policy.
Interestingly, the government's use of the phrase "all the component parts" in the review announcement does suggest that the Sizewell and Bradwell projects could be "decoupled" from Hinkley - and reassessed.
What we have learnt over the past 48 hours is that government is often hectic and last minute.
Which is never a good look for the outside world.
And that in the end, Number 10 calls all the big shots.
Whatever the Treasury may think.

Sussex seamer Lewis Hatchett has been forced to retire on medical advice because of injury, at the age of 26.

He was born with Poland Syndrome but overcame the rare physical impairment to make his first-class debut in 2010.
The Shoreham-born bowler's final first-XI fixture came in May's draw at Worcestershire, after he took 5-58 at Derbyshire in Sussex's previous match.
"Following medical advice, my long-term health is most important to me and I have to listen to my body," he said.
"To have to end my career in this way has been devastating, but to play six years at my home county has been a dream come true."
Sussex's head coach Mark Davis added to the county's website: "Lewis is somebody that, despite real challenges, has made the most of himself as a county cricketer.
"He will be successful at whatever he chooses to do post-cricket, due to his extraordinary work ethic and drive. I wish him all the best for the future."
Hatchett's career-best figures came against Leicestershire in 2010, when he took 5-47.


There is now so much debris in orbit that the space environment is close to a cascade of collisions that would make space extremely hazardous, a major international meeting has concluded.

Its summary position stated there was an "urgent need" to start pulling redundant objects out of the sky.
Scientists estimate there are nearly 30,000 items circling the Earth larger than 10cm in size.
Some are whole satellites and rocket bodies, but many are just fragments.
These have resulted from explosions in fuel tanks and batteries, and from the high-velocity impacts between objects.
Upwards of 10cm is trackable with radar, but there are tens of thousands more pieces that are smaller and move unseen.
And it is the prospect of an increase in the frequency of catastrophic collisions among all this material that now worries the experts.
"There is a consensus among debris researchers that the present orbit debris-environment is at the rim of becoming unstable within a few decades, a phenomenon that is commonly known as the Kessler Syndrome, and that only active removal of five to 10 large objects per year can reverse the debris growth," Prof Heiner Klinkrad, the head of the European Space Agency's (Esa) Space Debris Office told reporters.
Prof Klinkrad was the chairman for the 6th European Conference on Space Debris in Darmstadt, Germany.
The meeting was presented with a study earlier in the week that suggested the population of objects in low-Earth orbits (LEO) - the important altitudes used by imaging spacecraft to health-check the planet - would likely rise steadily over the next 200 years even under the most optimistic of scenarios.
The research highlighted the need for better adherence to best-practice guidelines.
These "rules" call on space operators in LEO to make sure their equipment naturally falls out of the sky within 25 years of the end of a mission.
But compliance with the guidelines is far from perfect,  and the panel said active removal was now the urgent topic on the agenda.
Quite how much time there was to act before conditions became intolerable was not yet clear, said Christophe Bonnal from the French space agency (Cnes).
"We say we want to 'stabilise' the environment. Does that mean we are satisfied with today's situation? Could we live with a situation that is two times worse than today, or do we need to decrease [the debris population]?  These are questions which are ongoing at international level," he told BBC News.
Active removal would see new spacecraft launched specifically to take other, redundant satellites out of orbit. And the Darmstadt meeting was presented with an array of concepts that included the use of nets, harpoons, tentacles, ion thrusters and lasers.
The conference summary panel told the media it was vital that pilot programmes were implemented to advance these technologies.
A few have been approved.  The German Space Agency (DLR) is developing a project called DEOS that would demonstrate the robotic capture of a tumbling object in space.
"In this mission, what we want to show is that it is technically possible to safely approach a satellite, which we launch together with our main satellite, to capture it by means of a robotic arm and to perform a number of services like repairing or maintenance operations," explained DLR's Dr Manuel Metz.
"Many of the technologies which are currently being developed for DEOS would be useful for potential future international active debris-removal missions."
The experts also stated that the international community needed to sort through the myriad legal issues that would currently frustrate attempts to clean up space.
At the moment, international law permits only the launching nation or agency to touch an object in orbit, something that would prevent, for example, commercial debris removal activities.
"My dream is that a new agency like the International Telecommunications Union will be proposed at UN level to coordinate all this activity," said Dr Claudio Portelli from the Italian space agency (Asi).
Esa was hosting this week's meeting.  It has two old satellites in orbit that are likely to become targets for a future de-orbiting exercise.
ERS-1 and Envisat both suffered major failures that left them drifting uncontrolled through LEO.
The duo can be tracked but nothing can be done to move them off a potential collision course, should one arise.
Envisat in particular is considered a high priority for removal because of its great size - over eight tonnes.
However, de-orbiting this dead satellite would probably be very expensive. And the robotic spacecraft sent up to bring Envisat down would itself be very large.
Prof Klinkrad explained: "If you want to have a controlled de-orbit - and this is what you should have for Envisat because large portions are going to survive to ground impact - then you should have a highly energetic chemical propulsion system, and to reliably de-orbit Envisat from its altitude you'd need, I'd say, about 6% of its mass in terms of fuel.
"With everything included, you are talking about a two-tonne-type spacecraft [to do the de-orbiting]," he told BBC News.
To date, there have only been a handful of major collisions in orbit involving the largest objects.
Perhaps the best known was the 2009 impact between the defunct Russian Cosmos 2251 spacecraft and the American Iridium 33 satellite.  The collision produced over 1,500 trackable fragments, many of which continue to pose a threat to operational missions.

Human-induced climate change is triggering changes beneath the waves that could have a long-term effect on marine food webs, a study suggests.

An assessment of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic found the microscopic organisms' pole-ward shift was faster than previously reported.
It observed that the ocean's tiny plant community was "poised for marked shift and shuffle".
The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Marine phytoplankton are crucial in marine food webs and global biogeochemical cycles and they are incredibly diverse but we don't really have a sense of what all the different organisms do when you modify climate, or even through natural climate variability," explained co-author Andrew Barton, a researcher at Princeton University, working at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.
He told BBC News: "This study attempted to get a handle on how all these different kinds of organisms may respond to anthropogenic climate change over the coming century."
The team studied 87 different species of microscopic marine plants found in the North Atlantic, looking at the organisms' mean historical range (1951-2000) and future (2051-2100) ocean conditions.
"The main results of the study were that we found that when the climate changes it was not just the temperature that was changing and impacting phytoplankton but it was also all the ocean circulation and the conditions in the ocean surface, such as nutrients and light, that have an ecological impact," Dr Barton observed.
"Generally, the whole physical environment is altered; in some cases, quite substantially."
The study found that the phytoplankton may move north-eastwards, he added: "That change is projected to be faster on a median level than than has been seen from looking at historical data for marine species."
He explained the findings differed from previous studies because it provided data on how different species were affected and moved.
"Some species do appear to not move at all. Some may move much further than others," Dr Barton said. "This study gives you a sense that there is quite a broad range of possible responses. If the species used to live here, where might it move?
"To my knowledge, most previous studies on marine phytoplankton have not answered those kinds of questions.
Finding out what will be the impacts of this shift in distribution of the phytoplankton will be the next steps, he said.
Globally, the tiny marine plants account for an estimated 50% of the planet's photosynthesis - the process of converting sunlight into fuel for organisms.
This involves absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which is then converted into sugars that the plant uses to grow.
It is this biochemical process that plays a key role in the global carbon cycle.
Other studies have reported a decline in the abundance of phytoplankton in the world's oceans.
In 2010, Canadian researchers published a paper in Nature suggesting that the tiny plants had recorded a global decline of 40% over the previous 50 years.
In response to these findings, marine biologist Richard Kirby set up the Secchi Disk Project, a citizen science study that allowed seafarers to submit their recordings of plankton abundance and increase the volume of data available to scientists monitoring the health of the oceans' plankton.
Commenting on the findings by Dr Barton and colleagues, Dr Kirby - who was not involved in the study - told BBC News: "The study adds to a growing body of evidence already describing large-scale, climate-induced changes in the distribution, abundance and seasonality of the plankton around the globe.
"The plankton are the seas' life-support system and any changes in where they occur will not only affect the distributions and abundance of other life in the sea upon which we depend, but will also influence the ecology of our entire planet with consequences for us all."
Dr Barton said his team's study was based on information gathered by the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey, run by the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science, based in Plymouth, UK.
He said: "Without that sort of sustained monitoring programme, you really cannot do this kind of science. It is tremendously important and a huge resource for the scientific community."


The Washington Post Express has apologised for an "embarrassing" mix-up on its front cover.

Leading with an article about a 150,000 strong women's rights march, the Express accidentally used a male symbol instead of a female symbol.
Social media users were quick to spot the mistake.
The paper - a free daily newspaper published by the Washington Post - was quick to apologise on its Twitter account.
One commentator referred to the blunder as a "record for largest typo".
"We made a mistake on our cover this morning and we're very embarrassed," the statement from the Washington Post Express read.
"We erroneously used a male symbol instead of a female symbol."
It also released an image of how the cover should have appeared.

For more than half a century her name has been synonymous with quintessential English style but Laura Ashley was Welsh through and through.

She rose from humble beginnings in a colliery worker's cottage in Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil to become the owner of a multi-million pound fashion and furnishings empire, with 500 shops worldwide carrying her name.
Wales played a huge part in her success:  her first shop opened in Machynlleth in 1961, with a factory following two years later in Carno, Powys.
Here, to mark this month's 30th anniversary of her death, her family and the people who worked with her in mid Wales, or "Laura-Land" as her children call it, share their memories of a radical, determined woman who knew exactly what she wanted and exactly how to get it.
In 1953, in a basement flat in London's Pimlico, Laura Ashley and her husband Bernard laid the foundations for what would become one of Britain's greatest fashion success stories.
Inspired by an exhibition of patchwork and quilts at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Laura used library books to teach herself how to transfer colour onto fabric, working on a silk screen built by Bernard in their kitchen.
An initial order of 20 scarves from John Lewis grew and they began printing tea towels, gardening aprons and smocks. Bernard left his job in the City to join the family business full-time.
But it was by no means an overnight success. The couple struggled to raise working capital and every penny of profits had to be reinvested into materials.
By 1961, they were living in a cramped cottage in Kent, with three children under the age of six and their marriage was in trouble.
Laura had a rather drastic solution to the family's problems.  She packed some tents, bedding and her children into a car and headed for mid Wales, where they set up camp on the banks of Mawddach Estuary near Dolgellau. Bernard followed three weeks later and the family lived like this for six months.
Their eldest son David, now 60, recalls: "My home life, to us, was quite normal growing up, but looking back on it now and having children of my own, I suppose it was quite radical.
"There was one tent for the children, another tent for my parents and a middle tent which was the family tent. My father, of course, couldn't come there all the time. He had to run the showroom in London. He used to come back at weekends. People would come up to us and ask, 'Are your parents married?' They used to think my father was having an affair on the cheap."
According to David, his parents enjoyed a "fantastic relationship". Laura had a calming influence on Bernard's "very angry" temper but make no mistake, it was she who called the shots.
"If my father had not had my mother, I don't know what would have happened to him," he admitted. "He would have been an absolute bloody wreck. My mother could never be described as gregarious. She was quiet and I suppose you could use the word manipulative, but persuasive I think is a better word."
One incident in particular, when the family had moved to a run-down farmhouse at Clogau, near Caersws, stands out in David's mind.
His father loathed trade unionist Arthur Scargill. One night David and his three siblings were woken by a loud bang and ran into the sitting room.
"The television had been destroyed and my father was standing there with a smoking shotgun. He said, 'Got him!' He'd shot Arthur Scargill on the television. My mother was standing there just giggling. That actually sums them up."
But David also witnessed tender moments between his parents.
"My father loved music. Often we'd come into the sitting room and my mother and father would be there dancing quietly to Frank Sinatra. It was deeply romantic. They had all these stresses running this business. All they'd talk about was business, business, business. At some point they must have stopped talking about business and started talking about life in general.
"My parents were very much in love with each other. She could always get what she wanted very quietly. She always said, 'You can never push your father, you have to pull him'."
Over the next 20 years, the same quietly determined streak which underpinned Laura's marriage helped propel the family business into an astonishing international success.
Their first shop was opened in 1961 at 35 Maengwyn Street, Machynlleth.
Rosina Corfield, now 70, retired and living in Newtown, Powys was the couple's first employee in Wales. She remembers meeting Laura, who was "always smiling, never miserable" more than 50 years ago.
"They were different to other people around Machynlleth", she said, "A bit way-out to what we were used to, like hippies. She had the blouses with stand-up collars and big brooches and beads. They would stick out walking down the street."
Rosina was amused by the Ashleys' sophisticated London ways: "What makes me laugh, when I went to Machynlleth and had lunch with them they had wine. We didn't know what wine was then. And they were having celery and raw carrots. I can remember going home to my dad and saying, 'God, they're funny people, they're giving me raw vegetables to eat!' Well, we're all doing it now aren't we?"
Brian Jones was a 23-year-old shop worker and keen painter when he first met Laura in 1972, the year in which the company opened its first international shop, in Geneva, Switzerland.
Brian, now 67, remembers how his father, unbeknown to him, applied for a job as a designer at the company's offices in Carno on his behalf.
"This letter came from Carno asking me to bring my portfolio. Portfolio? What's a portfolio? I just went and took some pictures off the wall."
Despite his inexperience, or perhaps because of it, he got the job.
"Years later I met up with Laura's daughter Jane and I said to her: 'Your mother could have had the pick of designers anywhere in the world. Why did she pick a little young lad from Newtown who was working in a shop with no design experience?' And she said she picked me because she wanted a blank canvas.
"She was looking for somebody who could adapt her ideas into print. She knew what she wanted. It was all from her. It was her ideas, her company.
"It was amazing to be in the heart of this thing that was happening, the Laura Ashley explosion."
The 1970s were halcyon days for Laura Ashley as the world became hooked on the label's romantic silhouettes, nostalgic frills and floral prints. In one week alone, London's Fulham Road shop sold 4,000 dresses.
Towards the end of the decade the company launched its first home furnishing range. By 1981, the Ashleys had 500 shops all over the world. New factories in Newtown, Powys and Gresford near Wrexham followed, creating hundreds of jobs for Welsh workers.
As the business grew, so did the family's fortunes. They had homes in London, Belgium, France and the Bahamas as well as a private plane and a sumptuous yacht. But Laura always kept her feet on the ground.
"Coming from a very strong south Wales Baptist family, my mother's life was definitely dictated by her Christian values from a very early age," said David Ashley. "It was a sense of fairness."
Brian Jones agrees: "I think we all loved her.  She was just Mrs Ashley. She was so ordinary and yet she was special.
"She had a very thin wedding band on her finger and she wore the same white blouse, cardigan and skirt. Sometimes she'd have a hole in her sleeve, it didn't matter."
"We loved going to work. We were happy in our work," said Rosina Corfield. "Laura believed in family. If there was something wrong with the family, the family came first."
When Rosina was raising her children, fabric would be delivered to her house so she would sew while caring for her family. "We wouldn't be living in this house if it wasn't for them", she said of the Ashleys.
David remembers his mother caring deeply about her staff: "She was 100% into workers' rights. My mother's politics stemmed from her attitude as a manager of a business and that the chain is only as strong as the weakest link. So the weakest link is the person you have to take care of the most."
At 21, David left for the United States to open up new Laura Ashley shops, a move he believes was orchestrated by his mother to diffuse the difficult relationship he was having with his father at the time.
He eventually led the company's expansion programme and took great pride placing a placard in new shop windows that read: 'London, Paris, Llanidloes'.
It was at a TV studio in America that his mother showed her "quite formidable" streak. David remembers a journalist starting a question with, "Well Laura, seeing as you are such a strong feministâ€¦"
"My mother said, 'I beg your pardon?' And the woman said, 'What? You are a feminist, aren't you?' And she said, 'Certainly not'.  She looked at the woman and said, 'The trouble with feminists is that they put themselves on an equal with men. Well I'm a women and I'm much stronger than any man.' And she meant it."
"In particular, she hated Margaret Thatcher", chuckled David. "She would describe her as 'that bloody woman' and she hardly ever used that word. She would say, 'She's carrying on like a man in Parliament, shouting and screaming and ranting.  A women should never shout like that. A women should never have to resort to sounding like a man'."
David was in America when he learnt of his mother's accident, in an early morning phone call from his aunt. But he did not realise the gravity of the situation until his father called him half-an-hour later.
"He said, 'David, you'd better get on a plane. It's serious.' I'd never heard my father's tone of voice like that before, ever."
Laura had fallen down the stairs in her daughter Jane's Cotswolds home. It was just ten days after her 60th birthday.
When he saw his mother in a coma, David knew he had lost her.
"It was obvious to me at that point that my mother had passed. She was being kept alive on a machine which was very cruel. We had 10 days of my mother being in a coma and the English press were absolutely horrifically awful.
"Every time we were together as a family there were photographers around us. To this day when I think of certain newspapers, all I can think of is absolute anger at how they treated the family."
David lost not just his mother but his business mentor: "I was a 30-year-old man in the prime of my profession in America. I really needed my mother. There was a lot of emotion and love attached to me doing this job with her.  So losing her like that was quite a shock."
Brian Jones recalls the news of her fall reaching the office: "We couldn't believe it. We were all in shock.  Everybody was numb. Everybody loved Laura Ashley. I don't think things were ever the same again. The life had gone out of the company."
Much has changed in the 30 years since Laura's death.
Two months after she died, the business was floated on the stock market with a valuation of Â£200m. Its shares were 34 times oversubscribed.
But in the ensuing years, Laura Ashley lost its way.  Power-dressing was in, romantic garb was out and the company failed to move with the times.  It went through 10 CEOs in 13 years but still the downward spiral continued.
In 2004 the company announced it was making 130 redundancies, 90 in Carno and Newtown.
The following year, the Carno factory closed with staff relocated to Newtown.  Laura, who loved the village and is buried in its small churchyard, would have doubtless been devastated.
David said: "My mother always said a manufacturing company can last forever, a retail company can only last for five years. She knew Laura Ashley the retail company wouldn't be around forever.
"It's a totally different company; it's just got my mother's name on it. I walk through the shops and they're not the same shops at all."
But the spirit of this talented and determined woman lives on in the Ashley Family Foundation, which supports projects to strengthen rural communities in Wales.
David explains: "If you have an idea for a hair-brained anything product the Foundation will fund it. If it had have existed when we were living in a tent in Dolgellau, that's where my parents would have gone."
Laura would now be a grandmother of ten. "She loved being a grandmother," said David. "One of the biggest regrets of my life is that she didn't know all 10 grandchildren. Every single one of them is an absolute gem."
Edie, daughter of Nick, the Ashleys' third child, is now 19 and studying fashion at Kingston School of Art. She has grown up hearing about her grandmother: a "kind, really caring, lovely woman with this hard as nails personality."
"It's crazy the relationship I have with her in my mind," she said. "She's a huge part of my family. Although I've never even met her I feel so connected to her. She is so talked about the whole time."
Just like her grandmother, Edie takes her design inspiration from old artefacts. Where Laura spent her time in antique shops in Wales, Edie spends most Fridays wandering around Portobello Road, London looking at "crazy one-off pieces."
"Dad speaks about her like his hero which is so nice. He always says, 'You would get on with her so well. She would absolutely love you'."
But what would Laura make of what is now happening to the firm that still bears her name?
Under the ownership of Malaysian conglomerate MUI Group, the company has increasingly turned away from fashion to concentrate on its home furnishings range. The strategy has worked: in 2014 its pre-tax profits rose by almost 15 per cent. Laura Ashley, it appears, is back.
And, despite factory closures and bruising job losses over the years, its Welsh base has survived - 200 people are still employed at its Newtown factory, producing paint, wallpaper and made to measure curtains.
Beneath those delicate floral prints is a true fighter of a brand - just like its quiet but determined founder.


The boxing gloves worn by Muhammad Ali during his 1971 fight with Joe Frazier have been sold at auction for $388,375.

An anonymous bidder bought the gloves at an auction in Cleveland, US.
The bout, dubbed the "Fight of the Century", saw Frazier beat Ali by a unanimous decision to become the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion.
Ali later beat Frazier in 1974 and 1975, cementing his reputation as the greatest boxer of all time.
The fight was laden with political as well as sporting significance, as Ali had been stripped of his title for refusing to enlist in the US Army during the Vietnam War.
A previous pair of gloves worn by Ali in his first World Championship fight were sold for $836,500 by the same auction house.


The Invictus Games competitors come from all walks of life but are bound by their armed forces experience - and their determination not to let illness or injury defeat them.

As in the poem the games are named after, these men and women are "bloody but unbowed".
The games, championed by Prince Harry, have given them an additional focus to their lives, many say.
Some hope they will act as a stepping stone - perhaps taking them as far as Rio 2016.
Here are some of their stories:
Darren Kamara, from Cambridge, competed in last summer's US Warrior Games in Colorado, which provided the inspiration for the Invictus Games.
The former Lance Corporal in the RAF Regiment, who was medically discharged after suffering an injury to his neck while serving in Afghanistan, spoke of the mental - as well as physical - benefits he discovered.
The 36-year-old archer said: "At the time, I didn't know if I was in or out of the forces and was suffering from a bit of depression as well because I wasn't at work and didn't have my friends around me.
"I scored the top British score - and that's led to me doing the Invictus Games. When I did lose my job, my lifestyle and everything changed, so I couldn't have been given a bigger injection of confidence."
Mr Kamara, who is engaged to former Olympic swimmer Lisa Chapman, is now working towards setting up his own photography business - but he hasn't ruled out competing further.
"They're looking for male archers for the GB squad for the Rio Games," he said. "My plan is to work towards that."
Derek Derenalagi, a Lance Corporal with Second Battalion The Mercian Regiment, was initially pronounced dead when his vehicle hit an IED in Afghanistan in 2007, but medics found a pulse while a body bag was being prepared.
The father-of-two from Hertfordshire, who will be competing in the 100m, 200m, shot put and discus, watched the Beijing Paralympics while undergoing rehabilitation and took up athletics - initially teaching himself through YouTube videos. He went on to compete in the 2012 Paralympic Games.
He said of the Invictus Games: "To be part of the British armed forces team and to compete in athletics again, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm a bit nervous as well but I'm really, really looking forward to the games.
"Seeing some of the guys I was in hospital with when I got injured and to see them here competing in different kinds of events, it's so encouraging to see."
He added that while there was still "room for improvement", the London Paralympics - and now Invictus Games - had hugely changed people's awareness of those with disabilities.
Corporal Carolyne Dufley, a 32-year-old member of the Royal Logistic Corps, survived tours of Iraq and Afghanistan but suffered a spinal injury during a Judo competition in 2011.
It left her with pain, loss of movement and muscle spasms - but she says taking part in powerlifting and wheelchair rugby gives her the opportunity to show how far she has come.
She said: "It's time to give back to all the people who have helped us, for their dedication, their time, their effort - for families to be able to see the outcome of the rehabilitation, because they're there from the moment you've been injured."
The mother-of-two from Didcot, Oxfordshire, said the Invictus Games could change perceptions of those who had been injured.
"We've got a chance to prove to people that it doesn't matter what you look like, if you're missing a limb, two limbs, three limbs and half your face, it doesn't matter," she said.
Cyclist Josh Boggi, 28, lost both legs in an IED explosion on New Year's Eve 2010 in Afghanistan and later had his right arm amputated as a result of the injuries he sustained.
He says of the Invictus Games: "I see it as a stepping stone, or rung on the ladder, to where I want to be in the future."
At the top of that ladder is the Paralympic Games, and Mr Boggi hopes he can turn handcycling into his career.
He says his son Jenson is his inspiration, adding: "Everything I do is trying to better myself and improve my son's life in the future."
One of the things he is most looking forward to is competing against servicemen and women from other countries.
"Winding up the Americans will be fun," he joked.
Trinidad-born Maurillia Simpson moved to the UK to pursue her dream of serving in the British Army but was injured in a road accident in Germany in 2010 while preparing for a tour to Afghanistan and was later medically discharged.
The former Lance Corporal for the Royal Logistic Corps said she felt she had "nothing else to live for" at the time but has now been chosen to represent the British Armed Forces team in seated shot put, javelin and discus.
While she says she still misses being in the Army, she now has opportunities she never thought possible through the world of sport.
"You make every day you live after your injury worthwhile and make it count," she said. "The Invictus Games has brought life, hope and identity for all wounded, injured and sick soldiers again."


More should be done to overcome social and motivational barriers that stop older people doing outdoor recreational activities, a new report has said.

The James Hutton Institute carried out research for the Scottish government.
It found less than 50% of over-60s and 40% of over-75s participated in outdoor pursuits one or more times a week.
It said GPs and medical professionals could help by giving out so-called "green prescriptions" -  encouraging older people to exercise more outdoors.
The report, entitled Access to outdoor recreation by older people in Scotland, looked in particular at what discourages this group of people from getting outside more often.
It also outlined measures aimed at removing or reducing those barriers.
For the past couple of years Forest Enterprise Scotland has been running an initiative providing woodland activities for people with early-stage dementia.
"When we come here we have something to do," says Peter Morrison who's been taking part in activities at Calendar Park in Falkirk.
"We make the tea or we light the fire or collect the wood, where as maybe we'd just be at home watching television or something and you do that day, after day, after day but up here we're always wandering about and we're surrounded by trees and it's really interesting."
Kevin Lafferty,  access, health and recreation manager for the Forestry Commission Scotland, said: "The forest and the woodlands are a great library, they're a natural resource and they trigger memories and positive past experiences.
"They also give people the opportunity to socialise and re-contact with other people so it's a great setting for treatment and recovery and also an opportunity to take things away from a clinical or medical setting."
Sam Reid, another of those taking part in the project, added: "I didn't want to come in the first place.
"Possibly I didn't want to be roped in as an invalid, but I'm not an invalid. I'm just somebody who forgets.
"I got a wee nudge to come along and it's been absolutely brilliant."
Some participants in the research reported safety concerns or a lack of companionship as reasons why they were reluctant to participate in outdoor activities.
Others lacked self-motivation or said they were too busy.
The report said "green prescribing" by GPs and other medical professionals could be a "valuable" way of helping older people maximise the benefits of spending more time out of doors.
However, it said interventions should be tailored to suit people's ability and preferences and targeted at key moments in a person's life.
Margaret Currie, researcher at the James Hutton Institute, said: "Outdoor recreation means different things to different people - for some it might be bagging a Munro, while for others it simply means getting out of the house.
"We have been able to identify a number of potential interventions, such as green prescribing, which should be integrated with existing initiatives like health walks that offer opportunities for overcoming social and motivational barriers.
"It may be useful to tailor interventions to suit people of different abilities and preferences, and to target people at key moments of life-change such as retirement, or friends or spouses passing away."
Speaking on a visit to the Forest Enterprise Scotland project, Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said: "Scotland has a spectacular natural environment and I want to ensure that its many health and social benefits can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
"This research shines a light on the barriers faced by older people and identifies a number of ways of maximising opportunities for outdoor recreation in both the rural and urban areas."
She added: "We want to make the most of our 'natural health service' and so the Scottish government will now look at these recommendations very carefully with our delivery partners including Forest Enterprise Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and local authorities."
John Nugent, senior medical officer for the Scottish government, added: "Using Scotland's 'natural gym' to walk, run or cycle, is an ideal way for all ages to combine exercise with an appreciation of Scotland's natural beauty."


The Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in Cumbria is to be hit by further strike action in a long-running pay dispute.

About 400 health physics monitors, who carry out manual radiation checks on staff and equipment, took part in a one-day stoppage last month.
The GMB union has announced two more strikes for later this month, claiming management reneged on a pay rise deal.
Sellafield Ltd said the action would not impact on the site's operations.
A union spokesman said the first stoppage would take place on 25 August from 08:30 BST until 12:30 BST, with a 48-hour stoppage planned to start the following day.
The dispute centres on the re-grading of some monitors and what they are paid.
The company said staff had recently been awarded a 2.5% pay rise and while the principle of a further increase was "not in contention" it did not think there should be a "blanket" rise.
Sellafield employs about 10,000 people and reprocesses and stores spent nuclear fuel from around the world.


Britain and France are sending several planes to help repatriate tens of thousands of Egyptians fleeing the violence in Libya.

The UN refugee agency UNHCR says "acres of people", many from Egypt, are now stranded in chaotic conditions at the Tunisian border.
Local resources are swamped and aid agencies have declared a humanitarian emergency.
Egypt said it was doing its best to repatriate its nationals.
France says it is also sending its second-largest warship, the helicopter carrier Mistral, to waters off Libya to help evacuate refugees.
The Tunisian government says 80,000 people have entered the country in the past week to escape the fighting between supporters and opponents of Libya's ruler of four decades, Col Muammar Gaddafi.
Another 40,000 are still reported to be waiting on the Libyan side.
While most of the refugees are Egyptian, many are also from Vietnam, Bangladesh, countries in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere.
Most of them were migrant workers in Libya, who left their belongings behind when they fled to the nearest border and do not have the resources to arrange their own transport home.
The BBC's Jim Muir, at the Tunisian border, says people are living in dire conditions.
People are arriving at the crossing point exhausted, he says, and some are being crushed in the mass of people pressing to leave Libya.
World Food Program (WFP) spokeswoman Abeer Etefa said that most people had been travelling for three or four days.
"They are walking and have had nothing to eat for up to 48 hours," she told the Associated Press news agency.
The UN and the Tunisian authorities have established transit camps to shelter thousands of people but UNHCR spokesman Firas Kayal said the need far exceeded the supply.
"The situation is significantly increasing. The numbers keep flowing," he said, calling for a "massive international effort".
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has described the situation as "a human tragedy" saying the world "must do more to help those who are in this terrible situation".
NGOs swamped as Libya border crisis mounts
Who is propping up Gaddafi?
But Mr Barroso added that helping people leave was "logistically very delicate," as many do not have identification papers.
Britain has announced it is chartering commercial airliners to fly Egyptians home. Two flights left the UK for Tunisia on Wednesday and a third charter flight will leave Verona in Italy later.
"It is vital to do this; these people should not be kept in transit camps if it is possible to take them back home," Prime Minister David Cameron told Parliament.
The British planes will help evacuate up to 8,800 Egyptian migrants to Cairo, according to Associated Press news agency.
The French Foreign Ministry said it was sending planes and a ship to repatriate some 5,000 Egyptians over the next week.
The transitional government in Cairo has come under angry criticism from the refugees, who say it is not doing enough to help them get home.
Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki told the BBC their anger was understandable.
"I accept it. When you have been through hell and you make your way out to Tunisia, you want to find a plane, not a queue of 30,000 people," he said.
But he asked whether any country would be capable of moving so many people at such short notice.
Meanwhile, British charity Save the Children has warned that one million children are living in harm's way in western Libya, as forces loyal to Col Gaddafi fight for control of key towns and facilities.


Anthony Joshua says he is "unlikely" to fight on 9 July now fellow British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury defends his titles on that day.

WBA and WBO champion Fury is scheduled to take on Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch in Manchester.
"It was always in my mind to fight on 9 July, but there are other dates as well," IBF champion Joshua, 26, told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Let Fury and Klitschko have their day. Let's not mix anything up."
Fury defeated Klitschko on points in Dusseldorf last November to become WBA, WBO and IBF champion.
The Englishman was then stripped of the IBF belt that Joshua now holds and has yet to defend any of his titles.
A future fight between Fury and Joshua has already been suggested, with both men confident of victory.
Fury derided Joshua as "slow" and "ponderous" following his second-round stoppage of IBF champion Charles Martin. and asked for a chance "to slay the lamb" in a highly lucrative all-British fight.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed a meeting between Fury and his charge would generate £40m, with both fighters picking up in excess of £10m.

However, Hearn also said that Joshua would fight an American challenger next to take advantage of the surge in interest in his career.
Joshua highlighted former WBC world champion Bermane Stiverne and undefeated American Dominic Breazeale as possible opponents.
Stiverne, 37, lost his title to Deontay Wilder via a unanimous decision in January 2015 but has claimed on Twitter that he believes that he will fight Joshua next and will inflict the Olympic champion's first defeat.
Fury, who calls himself "Gypsy King" on Twitter and is from a family of Traveller heritage, told BBC Sport that since becoming heavyweight champion he has suffered "more racial abuse".
But Joshua said he has no sympathy for the Manchester fighter, citing Fury's controversial comments about women and telling him to "grow a thick skin".
"Everyone has their opinion," said Joshua. "It's a social world and you just have to take it.
"You take the good with the bad and that's just the world we live in.
"Tyson, you need to grow a thick skin and learn how to deal with these things because sometimes he says negative things about people, about women and so on, and they have to deal with it. So sometimes you have to take a bit of backlash."


Half of the businesses in a town hit by a huge suspected gas explosion are "out of action" and "some may never reopen", a residents' group has claimed.

Thirty businesses cannot trade because of collapsed or damaged buildings, New Ferry's Residents' Association said.
Two people were seriously hurt and 31 others injured in the blast in Bebington, Wirral on Saturday evening.
The site remains a crime scene as Merseyside Police investigate the cause of the explosion.
Ann Grimes, 44, who has run the Cleveland pub for three years, said: "I don't have insurance to cover wages or losses.
"I don't think the traders can come back from this. If that building comes down I have no livelihood, nothing.
"I'm a single mum. I've got a rented home. My 10-year-old son keeps asking what's wrong. I can't explain how bad it is going to be. It could be weeks or months before we even know. It's bleak."
Residents' association chairman Mark Craig, 54, said: "The whole shopping precinct has been closed. [Businesses] were living hand to mouth as it is. Some of them may never reopen. A catastrophe like this could finish them off completely. The sheer scale of the damage, the impact is huge."
Ms Grimes, who said she put her "heart and soul" into renovating the pub, was inside the building when the blast happened at about 21:15 GMT.
"The explosion came first then there were flying bricks. People were covered in blood and screaming for help. The whole community is in shock."
Wirral Chamber of Commerce (WCC) said there were "huge barriers" to trading and many businesses, including florists, butchers and glazers, were struggling to access stock, electronic ordering systems and price lists.
It said it wanted to reopen the old Co-op building in the town to provide space for trading.
A meeting was due to be held at 17:30 BST in the village hall for businesses to get advice and support.
Meanwhile, residents affected by the explosion are being urged to contact Wirral Council for help.
Ten people have been placed in emergency accommodation but others who were forced to leave their homes have not been in touch, the council said.


Kent all-rounder Darren Stevens hit a 96-ball century to guide them to a draw with Leicestershire at Grace Road.

Starting the final day on 193-5, 41-year-old Stevens reached his ton before lunch against his former county, but was caught at mid-off two balls later.
He and Adam Rouse (60) shared a sixth-wicket stand of 152 as Kent declared on 462-9 before tea - a lead of 42.
With both teams earning maximum batting points they shook hands, with the hosts on 61-2.
The Foxes are still waiting for their first County Championship victory of the season, but they will take heart from being the first side to stop Kent winning in this year's competition.
After successfully avoiding the follow-on in the morning, Kent finished their innings with a flurry, with Matt Coles thumping an unbeaten 56 off 38 balls and James Tredwell (55) also making a half-century as the pair added 89 for the tenth wicket.
But with so much time lost to rain on the first two days, a draw was the only realistic result and the sides agreed to end the match as a draw after Will Gidman took a smart catch to remove Leicestershire's Harry Dearden off Matt Hunn following Paul Horton's dismissal for 40.


Munster moved to the top of the Pro12 table thanks to a convincing victory over high-flying Ospreys in Cork.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Irish side were 14-0 up following early tries by loose-head prop Dave Kilcoyne and winger Darren Sweetnam.
Ospreys, who had been joint top with Glasgow and Leinster, were hit by a third Munster try when Ronan O'Mahony punished a loose pass inside the 22.
Kilcoyne got his second score to secure the bonus point for Munster and Robin Copeland pounced for a late fifth try.
It was a disappointing night for Ospreys who were without 12 players on international duty.
They had won on their last visit to Cork in January but a repeat success never looked likely as they were forced on the back foot for most of the first half.
The visitors lost four first-half line-outs on Sam Parry's throw, two of them preceding Munster's tries.
Peter O'Mahony gave serious momentum to a drive in the 22 and after the ball was moved wide to the right, prop Kilcoyne muscled over from a couple of metres out.
Tyler Bleyendaal converted the seventh-minute try with a sweet strike and fared even better with a touchline effort, topping up Sweetnam's 14th-minute try in the right corner from a flat Duncan Williams pass.
A clash of heads ended Jaco Taute's night prematurely and saw Dan Evans have a spell off the pitch.
Although the Ospreys improved on the restart, fly-half Josh Matavesi's loose pass in his own 22 was dribbled forward and touched down by winger O'Mahony for an unconverted try.
The Ospreys bench added some zip to their play, replacement scrum half Brendon Leonard having a try ruled out for offside on the hour mark.
However, Munster scored again when Kilcoyne bulldozed over from close-range having made two ground-gaining carries before that.
Bleyendaal converted and also added the extras to Copeland's pick-up from a ruck, the Munster scrum providing the platform with new Kiwi hooker Rhys Marshall involved off the bench.
Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy told BBC Radio Wales:
"It's bitterly disappointing. We've had a good working week. Irrelevant of the scoreboard we feel we put a performance in.
"We couldn't win a set piece. We lost the first four or five line-outs on the bounce. We couldn't get control of the football but then in fairness, they picked out the back three.
"We didn't collect any balls, we were second to any loose balls from the forwards which is unlike us so it was a pretty disappointing night."
Munster: Conway, Sweetnam, Taute, R. Scannell, R. O'Mahony, Bleyendaal, Williams, Kilcoyne, N. Scannell, Archer, O'Shea, Copeland, P. O'Mahony, O'Donnell, O'Donoghue.

Celebrity magazine Heat has apologised to the Duchess of Cambridge after publishing a photograph of her shopping at a supermarket last year.

The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) said it had received a complaint from solicitors after the photograph was published in December.
The magazine printed an apology on its
          emails page
.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's main home is on Anglesey, where he is a search and rescue pilot at RAF Valley.
The
          complaint
 was made under clauses in the editors' code of practice relating to privacy and harassment.
The magazine said: "In our issue cover-dated 3 - 9 December 2011, we published a photograph of the Duchess of Cambridge, taken while she was shopping in a store.
"We now accept that we should not have done so, and apologise to her for our actions."
It will be printed in its edition for 26 May - 1 June.


Residents of a Scottish Borders town have voted resoundingly in favour of the construction of a bypass.

The ballot in Selkirk saw 82.7% back the move which has been debated for more than a decade.
The total number of votes cast was 451 - with 373 in favour and 66 in opposition with 12 spoiled papers.
The result was announced by Scottish Borders councillor Gordon Edgar, who is also vice-chairman of the  A7 Action Group.
Earlier this year Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said he was "open minded" about a bypass for the town.
He said the action group should make a renewed case for the project.


Graham Dorrans scored a superb 20-yard winner as Norwich City fought back to beat Nottingham Forest and go second in the Championship table.

City's Wes Hoolahan had a penalty saved by Vladimir Stojkovic and the hosts responded with their best spell of the match to take the lead through a close-range Apostolos Vellios strike.
But Jonny Howson scored from a tight angle to level after the break.
And with the Canaries on top, Dorrans found the bottom corner to win it.
The midfielder's strike gave the excellent Stojkovic no chance and sealed an impressive 20-minute spell after the interval.
Forest were seeking a fourth consecutive home win at the start of the season for the first time since 1984 and looked on track when Vellios followed up to tap in after Eric Lichaj's effort had hit the post.
But Norwich had looked the sharper and more inventive in the final third, with Hoolahan, Dorrans and Robbie Brady all prominent in the early stages.
Hoolahan's earlier missed spot-kick, after he was fouled by Nicolao Dumitru, had looked like being costly.
However, the Canaries were soon level after the break when Howson netted following a corner and, after relentless pressure, Dorrans put the visitors ahead.
Forest brought on Nicklas Bendtner and forced some late pressure but failed to create any telling opportunities.
Nottingham Forest head coach Philippe Montanier: "I was disappointed because we have lost for the first time at home and we had been winning 1-0 at half-time.
"Norwich are one of the top teams in the Championship and we needed to be at a higher level. We were a little timid with the ball and also in defence. We made things too easy for them.
"It is disappointing but our performance was not sufficient against a good team like Norwich."
Norwich boss Alex Neil: "It is crucial to get that first goal. But, if you do not get it, you cannot just let yourself go out with a whimper. You have to fight for it.
"I asked them for that and they gave me that and more. I thought in the second 45 minutes the fans must have enjoyed that because our performance was much better.
"The response we saw from the players was really, really good. We did not ride our luck, we were really good. They had one clear header - which is why we put more height into our side off the bench late on."
