The death of a psychiatric patient has led to major changes in mental health care in north Wales, an inquest has heard.

Lorna Graves-Lynch, 37, died at her flat in supported accommodation in Holywell, Flintshire, in November 2015.
A post-mortem examination found she has injected herself with more than six times the fatal dose of heroin - a drug she was addicted to.
Assistant coroner Nicola Jones recorded a conclusion of suicide.
The inquest in Ruthin heard Ms Graves-Lynch became addicted to painkilling drugs - and subsequently heroin - after giving birth.
She self-harmed several times, was admitted to hospital and did not want to be discharged.
On her latest discharge in October 2015, plans were drawn up for her to be treated in the community.
But she ended up sleeping rough when no local authority accommodation could be found and there was no room at the night shelter where she had been sent by taxi from hospital.
Her brother, Tony Graves, said she should not have been discharged because she had threatened to kill herself.
Ms Graves-Lynch's care co-ordinator, Janet Jacobs, told the hearing Ms Graves-Lynch was pleased when the Holywell accommodation was found and she spoke to her on a daily basis.
On 11 November, Ms Graves-Lynch told her support worker she had suicidal thoughts. She was found dead four days later.
Consultant psychiatrist Dr Alberto Salmairaghi, medical director for mental health with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, said an action plan had been approved following a serious incident review.
One of the main proposals is a closer partnership between the health services, local authorities, police and ambulance to improve community care.
Asked if he thought there might have been a different outcome if Ms Graves-Lynch's case had been handled differently, he said he believed the mental health team's approach had been the right one.
After the hearing, Mr Graves said the family was pleased with the conclusion.


Leyton Orient got their National League campaign up and running with victory at home to Solihull Moors.

Orient suffered a 2-0 defeat at Sutton on Saturday in their first outing since relegation from League Two last term, but they bounced back in style on Tuesday night.

The charity regulator says independent schools will have to continue to prove their worth to keep claiming charitable status.

A total of 52 schools in Scotland have charitable status which can help them reduce their tax bills.
The regulator has looked at the schools one by one to ensure they were doing enough to justify their status.
Forty met the test and a further 10 did so after they took action to address concerns.
Two reviews were suspended due to particular circumstances.
The details are contained in a report by the Scottish Charity Regulator.
Only about 4% of pupils in Scotland attend private schools. The regulator has been examining whether the schools do enough to justify charitable status - for example, bursaries for those families who cannot afford fees.
Critics have long questioned whether schools which charge most of their students fees should be allowed charitable status.
The regulator's charity test sets the standard that all of Scotland's 23,700 charities must meet in providing public benefit.
There are key tests to qualify as a charity: for example they have to show public benefit from their work and access to their services cannot be unduly restrictive.
The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator's head of registration, Martin Tyson, said the review demonstrated the role of the regulator in maintaining public confidence in charity law.
He said: "From the commencement of the charity legislation in 2006, we identified fee-charging schools as a priority group that continues to have a high degree of interest from the public.
"Where we have found problems we have taken action to ensure that charities are all now doing what the charity test requires.
"More recently, we embarked on a full-scale review of this group and today's report sets out our findings and key issues."
He added: "Our work is aimed ultimately at reinforcing public confidence and our report illustrates both the issues we consider and the enforcement action we take where required.'
Since 2007 the charity regulator has reviewed the charitable status of 52 independent schools on the charity register.
The actions the 10 charities took to meet the criteria included increasing the support they offered for those unable to pay fees.
Since 2012, five schools failed the charity test: Fettes College, St Columba's School, St George's School for Girls, Wellington School and Loretto School.
The regulator said all of them responded well to its concerns and subsequently passed.
Conservative young people spokeswoman Liz Smith, a former pupil and teacher at the fee-paying George Watson's College in Edinburgh, said: "This report demonstrates the effectiveness of the 2005 charities test legislation which was unanimously agreed by all parties at Holyrood.
"That legislation rightly ensures that there is a very rigorous test for all independent schools to undertake prior to being awarded charitable status."
She added: "The report makes it very clear that the independent schools have been more heavily scrutinised than any other group within Scotland's 22,000 charities and that any concerns about individual schools have been fully addressed prior to the award of charitable status.
"If schools do not meet these criteria, they fail the test.
"That is exactly as it should be and should put an end to those who argue that all independent schools should be stripped of charitable status."


Geoffrey Boycott said he was "disappointed" that Yorkshire's membership have voted against his bid to rejoin the county's board.

The former county captain and president's candidacy was rejected by 758 votes to 602, it was announced at the club's annual general meeting.
Yorkshire chairman Steve Denison had asked club members not to vote in favour of the ex-England opener.
"I'm disappointed - but nothing's changed," said Boycott.
"I'll be here for the first match of the season," added the 75-year-old, who played for the club from 1962-1986.
Despite posting a post-tax profit of £368,000 for 2015 - their first profit since 2009 - Yorkshire are still more than £20m in debt, and Boycott had expressed concerns about how the club was being run.
"I didn't put up to win or lose, I thought I could do some good for the club. I just wanted to put some points of view, some opinions to help," he added.

Denison had said the board needed "individuals with skills that can guarantee the survival of the club", and members' committee chairman Stephen Mann had also described Boycott as "out of touch".
However Denison said that Boycott, who acts informally as an overseas ambassador for the club, remains a key figure in the club's plans.
"He's a legend of the club and we want to see him at Headingley at every possible opportunity. He'll always be welcome here so let's hope that's what happens going forward."
Three other candidates - vice-chairman Mark Arthur, chief executive Robin Smith and tourist board Welcome to Yorkshire CEO Sir Gary Verity - were all voted on to the board at the club's annual general meeting.
Boycott's long-time Yorkshire team-mate John Hampshire has been voted in as the club's new president following the two-year tenure of former player and umpire Dickie Bird.


The trial of the prominent republican Thomas 'Slab' Murphy at Dublin Special Criminal Court has heard that he had access to considerable cash sums despite not supplying tax returns.

The 66-year-old, from Hackballscross in County Louth, denies failing to furnish tax returns between 1996 and 2004.
The charges arise out of a probe by the Irish police's Criminal Assets Bureau.
The trial is taking place before three judges in a non-jury court and is expected to last three weeks.
Counsel for the state has said that despite Mr Murphy applying for and receiving government grants of more than 100,000 euros (Â£73,600) he did not make any returns to revenue commissioners.
He said he will show that Mr Murphy had access to considerable cash, more than 300,000 euros (Â£220,000), for renting land for silage purposes and for dealing with cattle marts.
Grainne Dalton, a retired official from the Irish Department of Agriculture, conceded under cross-examination that she had not personally seen Mr Murphy or any other grant applicant receive or complete forms.
Mr Murphy's lawyer said his client did not accept that he had played any role in submitting grant applications and denied the signatures on the forms were his hand writing.
The presiding judge agreed to a defence request to delay the trial until Thursday to allow them to access disclosure documents.
If found guilty, Mr Murphy could face up to five years in prison.


Manufacturing firms in Northern Ireland had sales estimated at £18.1bn last year, a 3.2% annual increase.

Sales to Great Britain reached their highest ever level, up by 2.2% to £8.2bn.
The recovery in sales to the Republic of Ireland also continued, up almost 10% to £1.6bn.
Sales to the Republic had declined sharply during its long economic downturn.
Exports to the rest of the European Union (excluding the Republic of Ireland) also saw a big rise last year, up 16% to £1.5bn.
Sales to other world markets rose by 4.8% to £3.1bn
The only market to see a fall was within Northern Ireland, where sales decreased by 1% to £3.7bn


Chelsea are confident manager Antonio Conte will sign a new contract this summer.

The Italian, 47, still has two seasons left on the three-year deal he signed when he joined the club last summer.
The Stamford Bridge outfit are keen to reward Conte for an outstanding debut campaign in which he won the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final.
Despite rumours that he was thinking of a return to Italy, Conte said last month that he wanted to stay in London.
Chelsea are still to make a signing this summer.
Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has been linked with a return to the club he left for £28m in 2014, while Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez and Juventus right-back Dani Alves - who is also a target for Manchester City - have been identified as possible targets.
On 9 June, striker Diego Costa said Conte had sent him a text message to say he no longer wanted the Spain striker at the club.


A part-time firefighter, due to appear in court on Friday over a series of vehicle and bin fires, has died.

Kingsley Tolley, 36, of Albrighton, Shropshire, had been charged, along with colleague David Pearson, with conspiracy to damage or destroy property.
Shropshire Coroners Office said Mr Tolley's body was found in woodland in Albrighton on Friday 24 July.
Mr Pearson, 31, of Pontesbury, will appear in court on 28 August.
Mr Pearson, of Station Road, is also a part-time firefighter and both he and Mr Tolley, of Valian Road, were with Shropshire Fire Service.
The fires were started between 1 July and 3 September last year.
Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious.


A woman who was gang-raped and burned in her house has told a military court in the Democratic Republic of Congo she saw an army colonel give the orders.

She is one of some 1,000 people who have named Lt Col Bedi Mobuli Engangela, who is on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
He has denied all the charges.
The UN says the trial is a test case for the Congolese military, which has often failed to convict high-ranking officers accused of sexual violence.
The woman, whose name was not disclosed, insisted on showing her wounds to the judges.
But she did not want Col Engangela to see her, so she entered the courtroom wearing an outfit that covered her whole body, including her face. She sat in a box with a hole on one side.
Only the judges peered in as she removed her veil. They flinched.
She told the court in the town of Kalehe, South Kivu province, she was raped four times during an attack from Lt Col Engangela's troops on her village.
The men then set her straw hut on fire with her and her son still inside, she said.
Col Egangela started his career in the army under former President Joseph Mobutu, before deserting to join a militia.
He was reintegrated into the army as part of a peace deal in 2005 and became commander of the 106 battalion in South Kivu, and is often known as Colonel 106.
But between 2005-2007, he is accused of deserting again, recruiting child soldiers and ordering attacks on several villages. He also allegedly collaborated with the Rwandan FDLR rebel group, based in DR Congo.
Sexual violence is a major problem in eastern DR Congo, where several armed groups still operate more than a decade after the official end of its conflict.
Both militias and the army have been accused but few senior officials have been convicted.
Two soldiers were convicted of rape earlier this year, both of them low-ranking.


Motherwell FC has become the latest Scottish football club to launch an investigation into alleged historical sexual abuse.

The move follows Partick Thistle confirming former club physiotherapist John Hart was dismissed after claims about him emerged in 1992.
John Hart, who is now dead, also worked for Motherwell.
Motherwell said Police Scotland and the Scottish FA were fully aware of the nature of the club's investigation.
A statement from the Fir Park club said: "As a result of the extensive coverage relating to allegations of historic child abuse in football, the Directors of Motherwell FC began an internal investigation to ascertain whether it is possible any such incidents could have occurred at the club in the past.
"Having spoken to a number of people who had connections to the club in the period covering late 1970s and 1980s, we have decided to widen the investigation and have employed a forensic accountant to assist us with the examination of employment records and club documents from the period."
It added: "We have made both Police Scotland and the Scottish FA fully aware of the nature of our investigation.
"We will continue with that process, but all information collated to date has been passed to the relevant authorities. The club will wait until the conclusion of the investigation before making any further comment.
"In the meantime, Motherwell FC would urge anyone who may have been affected by abuse in football to contact Police Scotland or the NSPCC helpline (0800 0232642) set up to support and advise victims of abuse."
Partick Thistle confirmed on Wednesday that John Hart was the subject of sexual abuse allegations in the early 90s.
The club said: "As far as Thistle's current management can ascertain, no other allegations were made to the club at that time with regard to him or any other employee.
"The club has contacted the SFA and Police Scotland to advise them of what they know to date and will fully comply with any investigation.
"In the last 24 hours, we have been approached by an anonymous individual asking for advice on who to contact with concerns relating to historic events. No details were given. The club advised he ring the NSPCC hotline in line with SFA guidance."


George Ford is set to be rewarded for his performance off the bench in Brisbane with a place in the starting XV for Saturday's second Test against Australia in Melbourne.

The Bath fly-half was an early replacement for Luther Burrell, setting up two tries in England's 39-28 win.
Owen Farrell is expected to move from fly-half to inside centre.
"It's great to have someone else who has the same mindset out there at 12," Ford told BBC Sport.
"We think about the game quite similarly, and he helps in terms of communication in attack while his energy in defence is unbelievable."
The pair played 10 and 12 for the England Under-20 side several years ago and re-formed that partnership in this year's Six Nations as England won the Grand Slam.
England are set to name their side on Thursday at 10:00 BST.
England coach Eddie Jones says England's treatment at the hands of the Australian media has been "disgusting, demeaning and disrespectful", with former Wallaby coach Bob Dwyer the latest to cause a storm with comments made about the England scrum.
But Ford insists the players are ignoring any noise from outside the camp.
"We don't really take any notice of it to be honest," he added. "All we are bothered about is the environment we have here - all that matters it's what is going on inside our camp."
Meanwhile, Ford says he is staying at his club side Bath, despite admitting he was disappointed by the sacking of his father Mike as head coach.
"It upsets you because you don't necessarily think it's the right decision," Ford continued.
"But it's happened now, the decision has been made, and it's England time now.
"I've just signed two years at the club so I'll be there for the next two years."


Lewis White says he goes into the Rio Paralympics under "no pressure" as the youngest male on Great Britain's team.

The 16-year-old will swim the 100m and 400m freestyle in Brazil, just weeks after completing his GCSE exams.
City of Derby star White will compete alongside London 2012 gold medallists Ellie Simmonds, Ollie Hynd, Jessica-Jane Applegate and Josef Craig.
"Tokyo [in 2020] was always the main objective for me, so to go to Rio is amazing and an added bonus," he said.
"I'm just going to enjoy myself, soak up the experience and watch and learn from the other athletes as much as I can."
White trains alongside world, European and Commonwealth champion Adam Peaty as they share the same coach, Mel Marshall.
The student at Pingle School, Swadlincote, near Derby, completes regular strength and conditioning sessions with the Derbyshire Institute of Sport (DIS), designed to improve core flexibility and help prevent injury.
It helped him set a new British record in his 100m freestyle S9 category in winning a silver medal at the British Para-Swimming International Meet in April, which doubled as the British Paralympic trials.
White added: "I had actually done most of my training for the 400m, so the 100m was probably my best performance.
"I'm looking forward to getting in some more solid training once my exams have finished.
"I remember watching the Paralympics in London and thinking 'that could be me in eight or 12 years' time', but now the opportunity has come earlier, I have to grasp it.
"I'll have to see if I can sneak into a final and I could be involved in the relay as well if they decide to take a British team, but the main thing is to take experiences forward for Tokyo."


A lack of computing power is limiting the improvements the Met Office can make to the accuracy of its weather forecasts, MPs have been told.

Prof Paul Hardaker, head of the Royal Meteorological Society, was speaking to the Commons science committee.
He said more supercomputers were needed to carry out complex calculations, but finding the money was "an issue".
However, the potential economic benefits of more accurate forecasts were "enormous", the MPs heard.
The science and technology committee is carrying out an inquiry into the use of science by the Met Office and the effectiveness of the body as a whole.
It was told that scientists were increasingly able to gather the data necessary for very local predictions.
It also heard that while accurate seasonal forecasts for northerly latitudes like the UK's were harder to achieve, progress could be made with investment.
Prof Ed Hill, director of the National Oceanography Centre, said: "The potential, if one could have reliable seasonal forecasts, is enormous.
"The kinds of users would be obviously from the insurance sector, the power generation industry, construction, agriculture, tourism, the retail industry - understanding which products to put on the shelves at any time - manufacturing and transport.
"The potential is enormous and particularly where large investments are at stake. Then, any information that can add some level of insight into what is going on is worth having.
"Particularly if you're into activities which are a little akin to betting then something that's a good deal better than evens may well help out with those investments - I'm thinking of some of the insurance businesses in that respect."
But Prof Hill, Prof Hardaker and a third witness - Prof Alan Thorpe, the director general of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts - all agreed a lack of supercomputers was a major problem.
"I recognise there's an affordability issue and we have to make priorities, but it is a significant limitation in our capability at the moment," Prof Hardaker said.
"When we are starting to try to look into the whole earth system... the complications of that are such that we do really need to make a step change in current capabilities."
Prof Thorpe added: "We have fallen a long way behind the curve in terms of computer ability keeping pace with the science. This is a real limitation.
"There was a time when weather forecasting... in terms of the use of world's top computers, was high up on that list. It's actually slid further and further down.
"That change has prevented us advancing as quickly as we could have done."
The Met Office is largely funded by the government, with some additional money coming from the Civil Aviation Authority and other sources like the European Union.


Rotherham chairman Tony Stewart says there is a "strong chance" manager Neil Warnock will remain with the Championship club next season.

The 67-year-old former Rotherham player took charge until the end of the season in February with the club six points adrift of safety.
But the Millers drew 0-0 at Wolves on Saturday to ensure survival.
"I think it's dotting the i's and crossing the t's, and we'll sail through that," Stewart said.
"We're in serious talks, and I think that we'll develop the talks, and I think there's a strong chance that Neil will be with us next season.
"He has enjoyed the stay with us - I think he wants to stay with us, and we want to stay with him."
Rotherham are the 11th league club managed by Warnock since he began at Scarborough in 1986.
He told BBC Radio Sheffield on Saturday that he had yet to make a decision on his future.
"It's only fair that I take a step back really because it's going to be a very difficult job next year," he said.
"It's not one that I'm afraid of. Right from the start I said to Tony Stewart, let's sit down when we're safe, because there's obviously going to be other clubs interested, we're not daft.
"I've never kept anything from the chairman, I'll tell him everything that's going off. We'll sit down probably at the end of next week or the following week and see where we are."

Manchester City footballer Yaya Toure has admitted driving at 101mph (163km/h) on a motorway.

The midfielder was caught speeding in his Porsche on the M6 in Staffordshire on 20 May.
Prosecutors claim he drove at 123mph (198km/h) on the same stretch of the carriageway six minutes later but, in a hearing at Cannock Magistrates' Court, he denied reaching the higher speed.
The 32-year-old will face trial on 3 December at Burton Magistrates' Court.
The Ivory Coast international, who lives in Cheshire, was not required to attend the hearing and submitted his pleas through his solicitor.
However, he is expected to give evidence at the trial.
Separate charges relating to insurance were dropped.
It is understood the speed of Toure's Porsche was subjected to police checks at two different points governed by a 70mph (113km/h) limit on the northbound M6 near Keele services.


The mother of a teenager who took his life because of online bullying has urged others not to ignore the issue.

Lucy Alexander, from Worcester, wrote an open letter appealing for "children to be kind ALWAYS and never stand by and leave bullying unreported".
She said her son Felix, 17, was subjected to "cruel and overwhelming" taunts on social media since he was 10, which eventually became unbearable.
The sixth form student was hit by a train on 27 April.
Her plea came at about the same time the mother of Asad Khan, an 11-year-old boy from Bradford who was found hanged, pleaded for anyone who knew about him being bullied to come forward.

In a letter published in the Worcester News, Ms Alexander said: "His confidence and self-esteem had been eroded over a long period of time by the bullying behaviour he experienced in secondary education.
"People who had never even met Felix were abusing him over social media and he found that he was unable to make and keep friends."
Family charity BullyingUK has given advice on how children and young people can help if they see someone being bullied.
"If you tell a teacher what has happened then the bully shouldn't find out that you've done that," said the charity. "The teacher should be able to quietly alert other teachers and keep an eye on the situation so that the bully is caught red handed and has only themselves to blame."
An inquest heard he made friends at Pershore High School, where the staff described him as bright and kind, after facing difficulties at his previous school.
"He was, however, so badly damaged by the abuse, isolation and unkindness he had experienced that he was unable to see just how many people truly cared for him," wrote Ms Alexander.
"I write this letter not for sympathy, but because there are so many more children like Felix who are struggling and we need to wake up to the cruel world we are living in.
"Be that one person prepared to stand up to unkindness. You will never regret being a good friend," she wrote.
Ms Alexander's family are raising money for Place2Be; a charity that offers counselling to young people.


Burundi's government has asked its people to donate money to help with controversial elections scheduled for June.

The appeal for funds were made on the government's official Facebook page.
It comes after the European Union said it will withhold more than $2m (£1.3m) of funding for the elections.
There have been weeks of violent protests and a failed coup against President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid for a third term.
The plea asks for money "from patriotic citizens to reinforce a culture of democracy based on the choice of the people". It then gives details of a bank account to put the money directly into.
Money to carry out the the elections was already running low as the former colonial power Belgium has also suspended a similar amount to the EU. The EU said it will withhold the money unless "conditions for a free, peaceful and credible election are secured".
In addition, a French diplomat told AFP news agency that France has suspended its security co-operation with the country.
The parliamentary elections were due to be held on Tuesday but have been delayed by 10 days.
Mr Nkurunziza's critics say the third term contravenes the constitution, which requires him to step down after two terms.
Burundi's Constitutional Court says that Mr Nkurunziza's first term does not count because he was elected by parliament and not voters.

Women took several of the top awards at Wednesday's Music Producers Guild (MPG) Awards, marking a sea change in a profession typically dominated by men.

Alt-pop artist FKA Twigs won best single (Pendulum) and best album (LP1), both of which she co-produced.
Catherine Marks was named breakthrough producer of the year for her work on Wolf Alice's Mercury-nominated album My Love Is Cool.
Sylvia Massy, whose credits include REM and Prince, won an inspiration award.
The US producer, who has 25 gold and platinum albums to her name, was also honoured for her efforts to preserve and promote vintage recording equipment, and for her work as a writer, artist and educator.
Figures compiled in 2010 suggested less than 5% of record producers were female, although the figure is thought to have risen as technology allowed music to be created at home studios or on laptops.
"The diversity of talent winning MPG Awards this year is truly outstanding and we are proud to be reflecting the ever rising number of women in the top tier of music making," said MPG award director Tony Platt.
Elsewhere, the awards honoured Swedish pop svengali Max Martin, whose recent hits include Ellie Goulding's Love Me Like You Do, The Weeknd's Can't Feel My Face and large swathes of Taylor Swift's global smash album 1989.
He was named best international producer, while Olga Fitzroy, who works closely with Coldplay, was named recording engineer of the year.
Charlie Andrew won the top honour  - producer of the year -  recognising his contribution to albums by Alt-J, Sivu and Marika Hackman in 2015.
The award means he automatically received the 2016 Brit Award for best producer, which was presented at the same time.
The lifetime achievement prize went to Youth, who sat behind the mixing desk on classic albums like The Verve's Urban Hymns, James's Seven and Together Alone by Crowded House.
The musician, whose real name is Martin Glover, is also the bassist in Killing Joke and has recorded three experimental electronic albums with Sir Paul McCartney under the name The Fireman.
He was presented his award by The Verve's Richard Ashcroft; and they went on to play Bittersweet Symphony, accompanied by David Gilmour, Jah Wobble and Sex Pistols drummer Mark Cook.
Finally, Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick won the MPG Award for innovation.


Jeremy Corbyn has accused the chief of the defence staff of political bias after he criticised the Labour leader's anti-nuclear stance.

Gen Sir Nicholas Houghton told the BBC's Andrew Marr that refusing to launch nuclear weapons would "seriously undermine" Britain's "deterrent".
And he said he would be worried if such a view "translated into power".
Mr Corbyn called on the defence secretary to "take action" against Sir Nicholas over his comments.
In a statement, the Labour leader said: "It is a matter of serious concern that the chief of the defence staff has today intervened directly in issues of political dispute.
"It is essential in a democracy that the military remains politically neutral at all times.
"By publicly taking sides in current political arguments, Sir Nicholas Houghton has clearly breached that constitutional principle. Accordingly, I am writing to the defence secretary to ask him to take action to ensure that the neutrality of the armed forces is upheld."
Mr Corbyn, a leading member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, sparked a row with his shadow cabinet at his party's annual conference when he revealed that would never press the "nuclear button" - and he has since praised Scottish Labour's rejection of Trident.
Mr Corbyn has said he was elected Labour leader on a platform of opposing Trident renewal and that he is committed to "promoting an international nuclear weapons convention which would lead to a nuclear-free world".
Asked about Mr Corbyn's refusal to use nuclear weapons, Sir Nicholas said: "It would worry me if that thought was translated into power as it were."
He added: "The whole thing about deterrence rests on the credibility of its use.
"When people say you're never going to use the deterrent, what I say is you use the deterrent every second of every minute of every day and the purpose of the deterrent is that you don't have to use it because you successfully deter.
"If a prime minister said they would never press the nuclear button, "the deterrent is then completely undermined," he added.
"Most of the politicians I know understand that and I think that, dare I say, the responsibility of power is probably quite a sobering thing and you come to a realisation, 'I understand how this thing works'."
Attending a wreath-laying ceremony in his Islington North constituency following the Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph, Mr Corbyn said Sir Nicholas's comments had been "unhelpful".
"I would gently say to him, with the greatest of respect, we live in a democracy where politicians are elected to Parliament in order to take political decisions," he told Channel 4 News.
"If he's worried, I think he should talk to me about it. I don't think it is appropriate for serving officers to make political comments or engage in political debate."
Shadow defence secretary Maria Eagle told Andrew Marr she was leading an "open-minded" review of the policy in light of Mr Corbyn's views and a vote by Scottish Labour against the renewal of Trident.
She said she had yet to meet Mr Corbyn to discuss Trident but a date was in her diary.
But she appeared to back Sir Nicholas, telling Andrew Marr: "I understand the point that he is making. It is the point that I made myself when Jeremy said what he said."
She defended the right of Britain's most senior military figure to speak out on such a politically sensitive issue.
"I don't think there is anything wrong with him expressing himself in those terms," she said.
She indicated she could resign if there was any change to the party's current position in favour of renewing the Trident submarine fleet.
"I am not a unilateral nuclear disarmer. I don't believe that that works.
"I think I would find it difficult [to continue in the shadow cabinet] but we are not there yet. We have got a big process to go through," she said.


Borussia Dortmund's players went over to their vocal fans at the final whistle after defeat by 10-man Augsburg kept the side rooted to the bottom of the German Bundesliga.

The 2011 and 2012 champions, and last season's runners-up, suffered their 11th league loss in front of 80,000 spectators at the Westfalenstadion.
Roman Weidenfeller and Mats Hummels were seen conversing with spectators.
Raul Bobadilla scored the only goal of the game in the 50th minute.
Augsburg's Christoph Janker was sent off midway through the second half for bringing down Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp said: "We can be accused of anything tonight and it is all justified. Battling also means having the courage to take the right decision. We were missing that tonight."
Hummels said: "If one is in this position after 19 games then it would be unacceptable not to have understanding for the fans' reactions."
Dortmund have 16 points from 19 games, although Jurgen Klopp's men are only two points from safety.
They remain in the Champions League, with a knockout-round match against Juventus coming up on 24 February, but the team make-up is very different to the one that finished runners-up in Europe's premier club competition in the 2012-13 season.
The club have sold key players since winning consecutive league titles, with striker Robert Lewandowski and midfielder Mario Gotze going to arch-rivals Bayern Munich.
And for periods of the season so far, they have been without the likes of World Cup-winning defender Hummels, Marco Reus, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Ilkay Gundogan and Nuri Sahin.
Despite their predicament, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke recently said there was no reason to doubt coach Klopp.
Elsewhere, Hamburg eased their relegation troubles with a 3-0 win over Paderborn, ending a 398-minute league goal drought.
A penalty awarded after just eight seconds - the fastest since timings were introduced in the 2004-05 season - was converted by Rafael van der Vaart to give the northern German side the lead.
Marcell Jansen and Zoltan Schieber scored the other two in a victory that moved Hamburg to 13th spot on 20 points.


Simone Magill scored after just 11 seconds to set Northern Ireland on their way to a European Championship qualifier win over Georgia in Belfast.

It was Northern Ireland's second victory in Group 6 and keeps alive their hopes of Euro 2017 qualification.
Captain Marissa Callaghan hit the top corner to make it 2-0 at Solitude before completing her double with a low strike five minutes before the break.
Rachel Furness added the fourth in the second half to seal a comfortable win.
It completed a double over Georgia with Northern Ireland securing a 3-0 victory in their opening qualifier in Tbilisi last October.
Northern Ireland lie in fourth place with six points from four qualifiers while bottom team Georgia are still seeking a first point of the campaign.
Next up for Northern Ireland is an away qualifier on Tuesday against the Czech Republic, who sit third and ahead of Alfie Wylie's side on goal difference.


A woman has been charged with murder after a 26-year-old was found dead at a flat in Hertfordshire.

Nicola Collingbourne was found at her home in Ivel Court on the Jackman's Estate in Letchworth on Tuesday.
Yvonne Caylor, 52, of Grove Road in Hitchin, will appear before Hatfield Remand Court on Monday.
Hertfordshire Police said officers want to speak to anyone who saw a person "of large build wearing a high-vis jacket" near the flat on Monday morning.


Contractors have left a "slow" sign unfinished on a road because half the word was "outside the permitted area".

UK Power Networks contractors repainted the "SL" after they laid down cabling and resurfaced part of Sand Hill in Boxford, near Ipswich.
They said the remainder of the road markings were outside what the company was "permitted to remedy" by Suffolk County Council.
The county council said the defect would be rectified.
More on this story and other Suffolk news
As first reported in the East Anglian Daily Times, Boxford resident David Lamming accused UK Power Networks and Suffolk County Council of a "lack of joined-up thinking" over the mix-up.
He said: "What was a lack of common sense has now turned into farce."
UK Power Networks had laid down electrical cabling to a new housing development in September.
After it was initially completed, Mr Lamming said the company then needed to return to redo the surfacing work in February.
They repainted the S and L but within a month the L had already faded.
Mr Lamming said the contractors also only repainted part of a warning triangle at the junction of Sand Hill with Cox Hill/Ellis Street, where they resurfaced the road.
"Instead of a triangle we now have what looks like a figure seven," he said.
A council spokesman said: "Regardless of whether we get UK Power Networks to go back and correct that defect, or do it ourselves, we will look to get that sorted."


Wrexham host fourth-placed Lincoln City after bringing an end to their three match winless run at Boreham Wood on Saturday.

John Rooney's second half goal secured a 1-0 victory for the Dragons to ease the pressure on manager Gary Mills.
Lincoln also ended a run of three games without a win on Saturday when they beat Braintree Town 3-0 at home.
Wrexham beat Lincoln 3-1 in last season's corresponding fixture at the Racecourse.


Carl Baker kept Portsmouth's League Two title hopes alive with the only goal of a tense game at play-off chasers Mansfield.

The midfielder turned Krystian Pearce to grab the winner after 57 minutes, the ball taking a deflection off Conor Chaplain on its way in.
The home side dominated the first half without troubling Pompey goalkeeper David Forde.
Mansfield were furious with referee Lee Swabey three minutes after the break when last man Matt Clarke brought down Danny Rose when he looked clean through, but was only booked.
The Stags also had a goal disallowed when Rhys Bennett was judged offside, before Baker struck just six minutes later
Mansfield piled on the pressure and wasted two golden chances as Alex MacDonald headed across goal before Matt Green lobbed over the bar when one-on-one with Forde.
Kal Naismith wasted a late chance to kill the game when he lifted over from six yards, but it didn't matter in the end.
The defeat leaves the Stags relying on other results to secure a play-off place on the final weekend, while Portsmouth are third, two points adrift of leaders Plymouth.

A second man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was stabbed to death in Norwich.

Steve Stannard, 37, was found fatally wounded in Bowers Avenue just before 14:30 GMT on Saturday 5 November.
Norfolk Police said a man, aged in his late teens, was arrested on Friday night in the Croydon area and was being taken to Wymondham for questioning.
A 21-year-old man from London, who was arrested in connection with the murder, has been released on police bail.
Officers from Norfolk and the Met Police have been searching a property in Croydon as part of the investigation.
A police cordon remained in place at a property on Bowers Avenue on Sunday.


Parts of Wales have been flooded following heavy rainfall over the weekend.

There are seven warnings and several alerts in place across the country, said Natural Resources Wales.
A bridge to the village of Llechryd, Ceredigion, has been submerged in water, preventing motorists from travelling across it.
Firefighters attended five properties in Tremadog, Gwynedd, which had 7in (18cm) of water inside.
The fire service said it was called to incidents on Sunday morning, with pumps used to tackle flood water in homes.
Meanwhile a Met Office "be aware" alert for rain in south and mid Wales on Sunday has been lifted.
Forecasters had predicted up to 3in (80mm) of rain in some areas over 24 hours and said disruption was possible.


When Becky Turney's fiance, Kelly, halted their wedding for a very special gift, she was left speechless.

Her late son, Triston, was not physically present at the Alaska ceremony on Friday, but his heart was.
Triston died unexpectedly in 2015, aged 19.
Her groom had organised the surprise, giving Becky the chance to meet Jacob Kilby, the young man carrying her son's heart, for the very first time.
Kelly told the BBC: "I began planning her surprise with Jacob about four to five months earlier. He is an amazing young man.
"We encourage everyone to please become an organ donor. It saves lives and changed ours forever," he added.
Becky, 40, also heard her son's heartbeat on the day, holding a stethoscope to Jacob's chest in the heart-warming images captured by Love Adventured.
Jacob told the BBC that the experience been "so unrealistic, so heart-warming and incredibly emotional".
"But overall, it has been all love and two families joining together. Becky and I remain in touch and I am actually still in Alaska visiting here now," he added.
On Facebook, Becky said that her wedding day was the best day of her life.

Addressing Jacob, she added: "Hands down the best gift... most amazing surprise ever. Thank you for caring for Triston's heart. Thank you for being here."
An empty seat had been reserved at the celebration for Triston, with a message that read: "I'm in heaven for your wedding, so what shall I do? I'll come down to Earth to spend it with you. So save me a seat, just one empty chair. You may not see me, but I will be there."
Jacob made the journey of more than 3,000 miles to Alaska from California to be one of the groomsmen and surprise Becky.
The images from the wedding were widely shared online and touched the hearts of other donor families.
"Thank you for giving life to other families. I'm a mom of a little boy who received a heart transplant," one Facebook user told Becky.
"I'm so very sorry that you lost your precious son. Truly, I cannot say in words what it means that you chose to give life and hope to others when your world was crashing down.
"From one mom to another, thank you."

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday morning that he would be interested in a cap on earnings, because "we cannot go on creating worse levels of inequality".

The claim: Levels of inequality in the UK have been getting worse.
Reality Check verdict: Official figures suggest that income distribution has become less unequal over the past decade.
Coincidentally, Tuesday morning also saw the release of the annual report on income inequality from the Office for National Statistics.
It said that there had been a gradual decline in income inequality over the past decade.
It is using the Gini Coefficient, which is a measure of inequality - in this case, a coefficient of zero would mean that all households had the same income while 100 would mean that one household had all the income.
These figures are for disposable income, which is what you get after you've added benefits and subtracted direct taxes such as income tax and council tax.
There are caveats around these figures - they are based on surveys, so there is a margin of error, and it is particularly difficult to get survey responses from people at the top of the income distribution.
But the official figures suggest that there was a considerable increase in inequality in the 1980s, relatively little change from the early 1990s to mid-2000s and then a gradual decline in the past decade, returning the UK to the same level of inequality as was seen in the mid-1980s.
So from these figures it would be wrong to conclude that inequality has been getting worse.
What could be missing from this analysis? The ONS looks at inequality across the whole population - there has also been much interest in comparing the richest 1% or 0.1% with the rest of the population.
The World Top Incomes Database (which you can see in figure 3 of this blog) suggests that since 1990 there has been relatively little change in the share of income taken by the richest 20% or 10% of the population.
The richest 1% and the richest 0.1% had seen their share of income rising steadily until the financial crisis, but it has fallen since then. So once again, inequality has not been growing.
The measures identified so far have been looking at income rather than wealth.
It is also possible to calculate Gini coefficients for wealth, although the latest official figures for it covered only up to the middle of 2014.
From 2006 to 2014, there was a small increase in overall wealth inequality, with property wealth having the biggest effect.
Housing costs are a particular issue - the Department for Work and Pensions calculates a Gini coefficient for income distribution that takes housing costs into account.
The difference it makes is that inequality increases in 2013-14, although it is still below pre-financial crisis levels.
None of this suggests that inequality does not exist in the UK or that it is not a problem or indeed that it is not worse than in other countries, but there is little evidence that it has been getting worse in the UK in the past decade.

A fire has swept through the Torch skyscraper in Dubai, one of the tallest residential buildings in the world.

Strong winds helped the blaze to spread across the 336.1m (1,105ft) high building in the marina district.
One eyewitness told the BBC "there was debris flying everywhere, falling into neighbouring buildings". The fire was later extinguished.
It is not known what caused the blaze. Hundreds of people were evacuated and there are no reports of any casualties.
Footage posted on social media showed what looked like molten glass and pieces of masonry falling to the ground.
"In an hour-and-a-half the fire is almost out on about 60 floors, it looks like mostly the outer apartments that are damaged," eyewitness Rola told the BBC.
She said it looked like the blaze had started on the 50th floor.
"It's an iconic building, people were out on balconies all around it watching - even though it was 3am [23:00 GMT Saturday]," she said.
"The civil defence came really quickly and they have said there were no casualties, everybody was told to evacuate in a timely manner and we think everybody is OK."
One of the tower's residents, Kathryn Dickie, said she had seen panels from the building tumble to the ground.
"Those panels were catching fire and then coming off the building and being picked up by the wind," she said.
"And I was watching them, they were falling down on to the street still in flames, they weren't going out and they were actually knocking into the buildings across the road."
US resident RJ Morlock told the Associated Press news agency: "I was really surprised they got it under control pretty quickly. It looked like it was going to go up."
In 2012, a fire swept through Dubai's 34-storey Tamweel Tower.
No-one was injured in that incident but hundreds of residents were left homeless after the blaze, started reportedly by a cigarette butt.


He was the other-worldly singer who counted Elton John and Sting among his fans, and who played for the Pope, the Queen and Barack Obama.

If not the face of indigenous Australia, he was certainly its voice.
Known for playing an "upside-down" guitar, Dr G Yunupingu sang mostly in his native Yolngu language and spoke little English. The blind singer-songwriter who sold more than half a million albums worldwide, died on Tuesday night in Darwin, aged just 46.
The biggest-selling Aboriginal artist in history, Yunupingu had suffered chronic liver and kidney problems for several years, stemming from his contracting Hepatitis B as a child.
His death triggered a wave of tributes from the Australian music community and beyond. Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett tweeted that his "dear friend" was "a truly great musician", adding: "Very sad news. Too young, so much left to give. Heart goes out to family."
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Yunupingu was "a remarkable Australian sharing Yolngu language with the world through music". The singer's Darwin-based record company, Skinnyfish, said it was mourning "the loss of a great Australian" and "one of the most important figures in Australian music history", noting his 2011 single, Bayini, was the first indigenous language single to reach the Australian top five.
Yunupingu gained the honorary degree of Doctor of Music from the University of Sydney in 2012. Prof Anne Reid, dean of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, which conferred the degree, said on Wednesday that the singer made an outstanding contribution to music.
"Dr Yunupingu was a musician of the highest calibre," Prof Reid said.
"His music spoke to the soul of people worldwide enabling them to understand the importance of place and culture in their lives. His exquisite and tender voice, coupled with his innovative approach to instrumental music, created a sound world that reached the essential core of listeners alerting them to the beauty of land and our place within it. His music transcended culture and he will be missed hugely."
Hailing from tiny Elcho Island, 500km (310 miles) east of Darwin, Yunupingu was born blind, yet never learned Braille or used a walking aid. He taught himself to play a toy piano and piano-accordion before he was four. At five, the left-hander picked up a conventional right-handed guitar, and taught himself to play it "upside-down", which was how he would play throughout his life.
Intensely shy, yet known to be fond of a joke among his friends, Yunupingu began his big-time musical career with prominent Aboriginal band Yothu Yindi, who had an international hit with Treaty in the early 1990s.
His debut solo album (simply titled as his first name) went triple-platinum in Australia after its 2008 release, with sales of around 210,000, and silver in the UK, where it sold 60,000 copies. Around the time of the album's release, Yunupingu played as a support act for Elton John on his Australian tour. Like his first album, his second and third - Rrakala and The Gospel Album - reached number three on the Australian charts.
Yunupingu won five of Australian music's most prestigious awards - the Arias - with his first three offerings named Best World Music albums. He finished his last - and what promoters call his most powerful - album, two months ago.
Former Sydney Morning Herald music writer Bruce Elder wrote in 2008 that Yunupingu had "the greatest voice this continent has ever recorded", and one "which is so beautiful and so emotion-laden that it invests every song with a passion and pathos which are quite overwhelming".
"It is as though Yunupingu has reached into a wellspring so deep it transcends cultural barriers. He has found an emotional bridge which is genuinely universal."
Yunupingu performed for the Queen at her 2012 Diamond Jubilee Concert, where he also met his idol, Stevie Wonder. He sang in front of the Pope at World Youth Day celebrations, and for Mr Obama at the White House in 2015.
Yunupingu has also been described as an important figure in fostering understanding between non-indigenous and Aboriginal Australians.
Yet the singer's death has been tinged with some controversy over concerns about the treatment of indigenous Australians in the health sector.
After Yunupingu was treated at Royal Darwin Hospital in 2016, his management at Skinnyfish questioned whether he had received delayed care in the hospital's emergency department due to being racially profiled.
The hospital firmly denied the suggestion. Still, Yunupingu's death again shines a light on health problems for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, whose life expectancy is 10 years shorter than that of non-indigenous Australians.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted a friend of Yunupingu's, Vaughan Williams, as saying his death was "preventable".
"I feel he was trapped in the same cycle of bad health that so many indigenous people are trapped in," Mr Williams said.
To respect tradition the BBC along with many other media outlets adheres to long-standing cultural protocol not to publish a picture or the name of the indigenous person who died.
While the naming taboo differs across different indigenous communities, there's a general belief that doing so would jeopardise the spirit on its journey to the afterlife.
Speaking the name of a dead person is thought by indigenous people to potentially undermine that journey, calling the departed spirit back to world of the living.
This restraint is customary for the entire mourning period - depending on local practice, that can last for weeks, months or years.


Former Wasps lock Norman Hadley has died aged 51, Rugby Canada has announced.

Hadley won 15 caps for Canada between 1987 and 1994 and played at the 1991 World Cup, helping his country to their best-ever finish as they reached the quarter-finals.
Hadley captained the national side and played for Bedford and the Barbarians.
"Big Norm was a giant," said Al Charron, a former Canada team-mate. "He was a presence on and off the field."
"Norm was one of the funniest and smartest guys I have had the pleasure of  playing rugby with," he added.

Photographs have emerged of a Hollywood film's cast relaxing on the shores of Loch Ness before the production lost its four-tonne Nessie special effect.

Elizabeth Album took the pictures of director Billy Wilder and members of the cast in June 1969 while she was working for BBC show, Film 69.
The Loch Ness Monster made for The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, sank while being towed by a boat.
A new survey has found the prop 180m (590ft) down in the loch.
Mrs Album said: "I was working for Film 69 and we went up to Inverness to film the filming.
"The monster was still there. It was out on the water buzzing around behind a small motor boat.
"It was June and I remember it was boiling hot. It was very exciting at the time."
The 30ft (9m) model of the legendary monster has been seen for the first time in images captured by an underwater robot, called Munin and operated by Kongsberg Maritime.
Loch Ness expert Adrian Shine said the shape, measurements and location of what was shown in the sonar images pointed to the object being the lost prop.
Released in 1970, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes was made in the US and UK, where filming was done at Loch Ness and also in a studio.
The film tells of the detective investigating the disappearance of an engineer. The case takes him to Loch Ness and an encounter with a monster.
Sir Robert Stephens played Holmes, Colin Blakely was Dr Watson and Sir Christopher Lee was the sleuth's brother, Mycroft Holmes.
Talented special effects artist Wally Veevers, whose other work included 2001: A Space Odyssey, Superman and Local Hero, led the building of the monster model.
Wilder is said to have comforted Veevers after watching his creation disappear into the loch.
The director had a new monster made - but just its head and neck - and moved the filming to a large water tank in a film studio.


A council's attempt to protect allotments earmarked for redevelopment as part of a plan for 500 new homes has been overruled at tribunal.

The 75-year-old plots in Barrow, Lancashire, were listed as an asset of community value by Ribble Valley Borough Council in 2016 following a planning application by New Barrow Ltd.
A judge has now removed that status and said using the allotments in the middle of a building site was not "realistic".
The land will become a site compound.
New Barrow Ltd, which owns the land, received planning consent for the project with builders Redrow Homes in 2014 following a public inquiry.
Members of the Barrow Allotment Holders Association were served with termination notices in March 2016, which stated they had a year to quit the land.
A month later, Ribble Valley Borough Council made the allotments an asset of community value.
The listing, made under the Localism Act 2011, means the owner of the land would have to notify the local authority if they wished to sell it and gives the community six months in which to put together a bid to buy it.
However, at a tribunal at Blackburn Magistrates' Court, Judge Peter Lane ruled that matters had moved on.
He said the "incongruity" of leaving the allotments out of the overall development project was obvious and it was "not realistic to think that use of the listed land as allotments could continue" after building work started.
He added there was "such a strong likelihood of the listed land never reverting to allotments as to make the contrary proposition entirely unrealistic".
The decision was handed down on 2 March but was published for the first time on Wednesday.
New Barrow Ltd said the land was needed for a site depot and that there were health and safety reasons why the allotment holders could not stay.
It added it was trying to find alternative land for allotment owners.


Israeli political and community leaders have called for a top Jerusalem rabbi to be fired after he said Jewish law prescribed the death penalty for gays.

Sephardi Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar told Israel Hayom newspaper homosexuality was a "cult of abomination", which the Torah "punishes... with death".
Several members of parliament have written to the prime minister to complain.
Rabbi Amar has previously been criticised for similar past remarks.
Last year he was rebuked for saying most people were "disgusted" by homosexuality, and calling Jerusalem's annual gay pride parade "an embarrassing phenomenon".
In an interview with Israel Hayom, Rabbi Amar said it was "clear that it [homosexuality] is abomination. The Torah punishes it with death. This is in the first line of serious sins."
Rabbi Amar was quoted as saying homosexuality was a "lust" which could be resisted "as with any other kind of lust".
Although a fierce critic of homosexuality, in 2015 Rabbi Amar denounced the murder by an ultra-Orthodox Jew of an Israeli teenager at the city's gay pride parade as "a terrible act of blood-letting... nothing can justify it".
While the Torah ordains the death penalty in theory for several types of "offences", strict conditions historically made it almost impossible to apply, according to Orthodox Jewish tradition.
In response to Rabbi Amar's latest remarks, several members of parliament and leaders of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, said he should be sacked.
"A public figure that puts Israeli citizens' life at risk using incitement and exclusion should be immediately fired," three MPs said in a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
An LGBT activist, Shirley Kleinman, made a complaint to police, accusing Rabbi Amar of incitement to murder.
"Let's try and ensure that this man will not remain in his key public position," Ms Kleinman said on her Facebook page.
"This is not an anti-religious issue... I do have an interest to protect my rights and your rights to live, and [to live with] dignity."


Security forces in Egypt have mistakenly killed 12 people, including Mexican tourists, during an anti-terror operation, the interior ministry says.

The tourists were travelling in four vehicles that entered a restricted zone in the Wahat area of the Western Desert, a ministry statement said.
Ten Mexicans and Egyptians were also injured and are being treated in a local hospital.
The ministry said it had formed a team to investigate the incident.
Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto condemned the incident and said he had "demanded an exhaustive investigation by the Egyptian government".
The Mexican foreign ministry confirmed that at least two of its national had been killed and said it was working to confirm the identities of the other victims.
In a statement, it said Mexico's ambassador in Egypt, Jorge Alvarez Fuentes, had visited the local hospital and spoken to five Mexicans who were in a stable condition.
The statement (in Arabic) from Egypt's interior ministry said the four vehicles the tourists were travelling in were "mistakenly dealt with" during a joint military police and armed forces operation.
It said the incident happened on Sunday in an area that "was off limits to foreign tourists" but it did not give an exact location.
The tour company transporting the tourists "did not have permits and did not inform authorities", tourism ministry spokesman Rasha Azaz told the AP news agency.
The vast Western Desert area is popular with foreign sightseers, but is also attractive to militants, reports the BBC's Orla Guerin in Cairo.
A joint force from the Egyptian police and military was pursuing militants in the area - which borders Libya - when the incident happened, officials say.
The region is a gateway to the long border and weapons are available on the other side, our correspondent adds.
On Sunday, the Islamic State (IS) group in Egypt claimed it had "resisted a military operation" in the desert.
A group claiming to be affiliated with IS also said on Sunday that it was present in Farafra.
The insurgency in Egypt gathered momentum after the army overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in mid-2013 following protests against his rule.
The government says hundreds of police and soldiers have been killed, many of them in attacks claimed by IS's Sinai Province affiliate.
Up until recently most of the fighting has taken place in the Sinai Peninsula with occasional attacks taking place in Cairo and other cities.
In July, Egypt vowed to rid the Sinai Peninsula of militants after major clashes with IS fighters there killed more than 100 people.
It said that operations will not stop until the area is cleared of militants.


Plans have been lodged for a wind farm in the Scottish Borders less than a year after the Scottish government rejected a scheme for the same site.

Energy Minister Fergus Ewing refused permission for the 21-turbine Rowantree development near Oxton last May.
He said the decision was based on "unacceptable environmental impacts".
RWE Innogy UK has submitted scoping plans to Scottish Borders Council for a wind farm of up to 11 turbines in the same location.
The proposed development on land north-east and east of Burnhouse Mains farmhouse, between Stow and Fountainhall, will be known as Longmuir Rigg wind farm.
A letter lodged with the council states that RWE's new plans for the site take into account the Scottish government's concerns about the Rowantree development.
In the correspondence, project manager Christopher McPake states: "It has sought to reduce or negate the identified significant environmental effects of cumulative noise as well as effects upon landscape character and visual receptors."
It lays out plans to build between nine and 11 turbines, no more than 130m (426ft) high.


Campaigners hoping to overturn the election of Orkney and Shetland MP Alistair Carmichael are heading to the Court of Session in Edinburgh to lodge legal papers.

Mr Carmichael has faced calls to resign over the leak of a memo which wrongly suggested Nicola Sturgeon wanted David Cameron as prime minister.
More than Â£40,000 has been raised online to fund legal representation.
The MP won the support of his local party earlier this week.
Two islanders in Orkney, one of whom is an SNP member, have raised more than Â£40,000 through an online crowd-funding website to pay for legal representation.
Mr Carmichael has admitted an error of judgement, but opponents believe the truth about his involvement in the leaking of the memo could have altered the result in his constituency, where he finished just over 800 votes ahead of the SNP.
The Scottish Liberal Democrats have said that Mr Carmichael will not face any party disciplinary action over the matter.
The SNP have been calling on Mr Carmichael - the only remaining Lib Dem MP in Scotland - to consider his position.
An official Cabinet Office inquiry found he approved the leak of an official memo by his special adviser to a newspaper during the campaign.
The document, written by a civil servant in the Scotland Office, claimed Scotland's first minister told the French Ambassador to the UK that she would prefer Mr Cameron as prime minister rather than Ed Miliband - comments Ms Sturgeon has always insisted she never made.
Mr Carmichael later said the first he had heard of the memo was when he was contacted by a journalist.
He has since acknowledged that while he had not seen the document before it was published, he was aware of its content and agreed that it should be made public.
Protests have been held in Kirkwall and Lerwick calling for Mr Carmichael to quit, but he insists he has apologised, forfeited his ministerial pay-off and will continue as an MP.
The parliamentary standards commissioner is considering whether to accept a complaint about Mr Carmichael's conduct, and Police Scotland has also received a complaint.


A Herefordshire hospital has postponed operations because of high demand at A&E and a sickness outbreak.

Hereford County Hospital declared an "internal incident" after beds were closed due to sickness and diarrhoea on inpatient wards.
The number of people requiring admission is also up by 16% on the same period last year, the hospital said.
A spokesman said it has postponed some routine operations after the situation "worsened over the weekend".
Richard Beeken, from the health trust running the 220 bed hospital, said cancelling operations was a "last resort".
He said many of the patients with sickness and diarrhoea were "very poorly" and require "a longer stay in hospital than expected".
When a hospital declares a major incident or internal incident, it indicates the pressure on services has forced the need for special measures to be introduced.
The declaration allows hospital bosses to call in extra staff to help.
Wye Valley NHS Trust said it was working with West Midlands Ambulance Service, the commissioners for healthcare in the county, the Herefordshire Clinical Commissioning Group and Herefordshire Council to manage the situation.


A motorist caught speeding at 121mph with three children in his car while he was two times over the drink-drive limit has been handed an 18-month driving ban.

Adam Evans, 35, was stopped on the M62 near Goole, East Yorkshire, on 9 May.
He pleaded guilty at Scunthorpe Magistrates' Court to speeding and driving while over the limit.
Evans was also given a 12-month community order and told to complete 250 hours' unpaid work.
He was also ordered to pay Â£295 in costs.
The court heard Evans, of Mount Avenue, Hemsworth, recorded 78 micrograms of alcohol per 100 ml of breath when he was stopped. The legal drink drive limit is 35 micrograms.
Speaking after the hearing, his solicitor Neil Davies said Evans was "exceptionally remorseful for the mistake he's made".
"A substantial element of the offence involved drinking heavily the night prior to driving, which, of course, is a mistake that many people sometimes make and something we all need to be very conscious of."


Glasgow City all but ended Celtic's Scottish Women's Premier League title hopes with a 2-0 win at the K Park in East Kilbride.

Abbi Grant stroked City into the lead with a cool finish inside the post just before half-time.
Republic of Ireland international Noelle Murray knocked in a second.
It could have been more as City dominated - hitting the woodwork four times - and the three points ensure they remain two behind leaders Hibs.
Hibernian, who have played a game more, showed their title credentials with a thumping 8-0 win over Aberdeen.
Spartans came from behind to beat Rangers 3-1, while in SWPL 2 Forfar Farmington suffered their first defeat of the season against second-placed Motherwell, who cut the gap at the top to six points.
The season now pauses until August with Scotland coach Anna Signeul naming her squad for Euro 2017 on Tuesday.
At the start of the season it had been billed as a three-way title race between 10-in-a-row champions Glasgow City, the ever-improving Hibs and a Celtic side that had been busy in the transfer market.
However, now 13 points adrift of top spot and 11 off a coveted Champions League place, Celtic appear resigned to watching from the sidelines as Scotland's top two again battle it out for the league crown.
City had dropped only two points all season, a 1-1 draw with Celtic in March.
But just three months on Scott Booth's champions are again the form team and even Hibs will have their work cut out stopping them.
Nicola Docherty's curling shot was tipped wide then Hayley Lauder saw an effort palmed off the bar as City went on the front foot right from the start.
However, Celtic gave as good as they got in the early stages with Heather Richards cutting in from the left and testing goalkeeper Lee Alexander with an effort.
Grant shot over in 41 minutes, but shortly afterwards she broke the deadlock when she was unmarked inside the box and picked her spot.
Lauder could have done better with a weak shot from the edge of the box and only a great challenge from Sarah Crilly denied Grant again, while Sam Kerr's shot was tipped wide.
City struck the woodwork again when Lauder's shot hit the bar, but this time Murray was quickest to react and knocked the loose ball over the line.
Grant then hit the post before Murray shot over as the game became a procession for the visitors.
The opening goal scorer would be denied by the post a second time in the final 10 minutes before Natalie Ross hit the bar in Celtic's best chance of the game.
Celtic head coach David Haley: "It was a tough day at the office. Credit to City I thought they were really good today, they were at it right from the off, right from the first whistle. We found it difficult to deal with them.
"It's been an up and down season. We've dropped silly points away to Spartans and Rangers, games that with all due respect we should be winning. We've had some real highs and some really disappointing lows.
"We need to try and see what we can get out of the rest of the season. We've got a Scottish Cup to play for and make sure we finish closer to Hibs and City than we did last season. But to do that we have to beat them at one stage and hopefully we can do that in the second half of the season."
Glasgow City head coach Scott Booth: "We've been building up for the last six-to-eight weeks a really good level of consistency. The players have worked really hard on all the different areas of the park. It's difficult for the opposition when we press as hard as we press when we've not got the ball.
"We've managed to give really good game-time to all the players and that's really helped and we've become more fluid, tight as a unit, hard to beat and hard for teams to create chances against. It is a pity that we now have to break up for two months.
"We've done really good things in the first part of the season. To be in the position we're in having only drawn one game and lost one in the cup we've done really well."

The company that owns Birmingham City Football Club has gone into receivership.

The Championship club's parent company, Birmingham International Holdings Limited (BIHL), blamed "fractious and inharmonious relations within the management" for the decision.
BIHL said it had appointed three receivers from Ernst and Young.
The club said it wished to reassure supporters "most emphatically" that no winding-up petition had been filed.
It said it was not in liquidation and could continue to fulfil its fixtures in the league.
In a statement, BIHL said it had made the announcement to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
It said: "BCFC naturally recognises the impact which this announcement may have on itself and how it may be interpreted by its supporters, staff, media and the wider domain.
"The club therefore wishes to explain why the majority directors on the board of BIHL had deemed it necessary to take this voluntary but unusual course of action."
The announcement that Birmingham City's parent company BIHL has called in the receivers will understandably worry fans but could actually be a positive move for the football club.
The "fractious and inharmonious" relations between the two halves of the BIHL board (pro and anti-Carson Yeung) have made running the parent company very hard in recent months.
Now independent receivers will be responsible for the big decisions at BIHL and one of those could be to sell the football club, as the fans hope.
As for the short-term impact on the club, the biggest danger is that the Football League might dock them points. That is far from certain though. Birmingham City have reassured the League they can fulfil their fixtures, they are well run by the staff at St Andrew's and proved their financial stability by turning down a multimillion-pound offer for young star Demarai Gray last month.
There may be some short-term pain but Birmingham City supporters will hope that in the long run this could herald a fresh start for their club.
It said it would continue "a strong dialogue" with the Football League.
In a statement, Ernst and Young said: "The receivers are keen to stress their appointment does not extend to Birmingham City which continues to trade as normal and outside of any insolvency process.
"The appointment allows the receivers to be able to manage the day-to-day activities of BIHL, take control of its finances, carry on the business of the company and take such steps as may be necessary for the purpose of preserving the future of... Birmingham City."
In January, the Football League wrote to the club seeking clarity over former owner Carson Yeung's role.
Yeung was convicted of money laundering in March 2014 and jailed for six years.
However, it emerged Yeung had requested to remove three of BIHL's directors and replace them with three people he had nominated.
In October, the club were second from bottom in the league and were thumped 8-0 at home to Bournemouth.
However, new manager Gary Rowett has steered the team to mid-table.


Plans for a £6m revamp of Newbury railway station have been awarded provisional funding.

The Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership cash would be spent on creating better access for cyclists, walkers and public transport.
Great Western Railway (GWR) and West Berkshire Council have joined forces to undertake the refurbishment.
GWR said it hoped the funding, subject to planning permission, would help the station become a "gateway" to the town.
Jeanette Clifford, lead councillor for transport in West Berkshire, said the station "needs improving".
Detailed planning and a business case will now be created in order for the funding to be confirmed.


Freddie Fox is to play the loud-mouthed and naughty Dennis the Menace in CBBC's new CGI version of the Beano comic strip.

It's a far cry from some of his previous work, which include Romeo in Sir Kenneth Branagh's stage production of Romeo and Juliet.
Fox, 27, comes from an acting dynasty that includes his sister Emilia and father Edward.
"To borrow Dennis's catchphrase, 'This is going to be BLAM!"' he said.
The actor, who will make his Dennis debut later this year, added: "As a life-long fan of Dennis, I am honoured to voice him for a new generation.
"I am so excited to be carrying on the red and black striped legacy of a character adored for his mischievousness, energy, live-in-the-moment attitude and full-on imagination."
The 52-part series, Dennis and Gnasher Unleashed, will see the 10-year-old schoolboy and his dog do their best to unhinge the adults around them, along with Dennis's life-long adversary Walter.
The show will feature CGI 3D techniques, producers said.
Dennis will still have his trademark red and black T-shirt and and spiky hair but will not have the catapult that featured in the Beano comic strip.
Previous BBC TV series starring Dennis and Gnasher, the last of which aired in 2013, showed the pair only in cartoon animation form.
Fox's other acting credits include 2014 film Pride, about gay activists who helped the miners during their 1980s strike.
He currently appearing with Tom Hollander in a West End revival of Sir Tom Stoppard's play Travesties.

We are approaching what could be a critical week for the future of councils in Wales.

Council leaders gather in Swansea next Thursday for the Welsh local government association annual conference.
The expectation is that by then they'll have a new proposed council map to chew over, published by the Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews.
Labour council leaders met Carwyn Jones and Leighton Andrews to discuss potential changes on Wednesday.
I'm told it wasn't acrimonious, but difficult nevertheless. Or, in the jargon, there was a full and frank exchange of views.
Senior Labour sources within local government used it to make a last-ditch plea to the ministers to row back from plans to put together a map.
Some have a new-found confidence after the general election. Their argument is that this will cause huge controversy among grassroots Labour ranks at a time when the party can ill-afford to lose that support.
As one source told me: "He (Carwyn Jones) needs the foot soldiers now. It's expensive having leaflets delivered by independent agencies. They have got to think about it."
A number have essentially called on the first minister to fudge it ahead of the next assembly elections.
Or as one put it to me, he should set out a maximum and a minimum number of councils in future, after working out what savings are needed, and use that as the basis for a manifesto commitment.
That would then give Labour the flexibility to consult with the local authorities and other parties after the election.
The council leaders know they're running out of time. Once a new map is produced, it can't be undone.
A Welsh government source has indicated they're not for turning.
It would be difficult to see how they could, after so much rhetoric supporting the need to change.
And this will be the debate. The Welsh government knows that most people probably agree with its view that 22 councils is too many, but the job of going about changing that is easier said than done when ministers don't have a majority at the assembly.
The other difficulty they have is insisting on change when a new Conservative government means that the cuts will continue for longer.


A group which helps abuse victims is calling for the Football Association of Wales to hold an inquiry into historical child sex abuse allegations in the sport.

Wrexham-based Stepping Stones' comments come after a number of Wales-based ex-players have come forward seeking help.
Both the English and Scottish FAs are holding inquiries with more than 1,000 cases reported to police in the UK.
The FAW said it was committed to safeguarding participants' safety.
"Although a full inquiry by the FAW is vital, our concern is for the historic survivors of these crimes," Stepping Stones director Joy Dyment said.
In December, three of Wales' four police forces said they were investigating allegations of historical child sexual abuse at football clubs.
It was at the same time that former footballers including Steve Walters launched the Offside Trust to support players who are victims of abuse.
Mr Walters said: "We have been making approaches to the FAW for some time to follow the lead of the other British FAs and start their own inquiry into abuse in the game in Wales.
"We have had a number of individual Welsh based ex-players come forward to ourselves seeking support and it is for them that we are very keen to see an inquiry take place."
FAW safeguarding manager Sian Jones said: "The Football Association of Wales is fully committed to safeguarding and ensuring the welfare of all participants in football.
"We take any allegation, suspicion of harm, or concern extremely seriously and ensure this is managed in the appropriate manner.
"Since the revelations of non-recent abuse within football we have written to each club detailing how support can be accessed and urge anybody with any concerns, queries, or those who require support to come forward.
"Additionally, we have provided clubs with details as to what information parents/guardians should be provided with, and encourage those to ask questions of the organisation that their child is a part of."


Gillingham's play-off hopes were dented as their winless run extended to four games with defeat by Port Vale.

AJ Leitch-Smith opened the scoring, latching onto Ben Purkiss' cross-field pass to lash his 12th goal of the season into the top corner.
Carl Dickinson added a second before Richard Duffy cleared off the line after Vale keeper Jak Alnwick spilled Bradley Dack's shot.
The Gills remain in sixth but are just two points above Barnsley in seventh.


The former Bishop of Durham, the Right Reverend Dr David Jenkins, has died aged 91, his family has said.

Dr Jenkins died in Barnard Castle, County Durham, on Sunday morning. He had been living with Alzheimer's disease for many years.
The cleric and theologian was Bishop of Durham from 1984 until 1994.
He was dubbed the "unbelieving bishop" after saying he did not believe God would have arranged a virgin birth and the resurrection.
After retiring he took on the post of honorary assistant bishop in Ripon and Leeds.
Before becoming a bishop, Dr Jenkins was a professor of theology at the University of Leeds, and spent 15 years prior to that as a fellow and chaplain of Queen's College, Oxford.
York Minster was struck by lightning and burst into flames just days after his consecration in 1984.
The events led some to believe that the fire was a sign of divine wrath in outrage at his appointment as bishop.
Dr Jenkins was satirised in television puppet show Spitting Image, being depicted in one episode persuading God to become an atheist.
He served in Durham during the miners' strike in the 1980s and often joined the miners on marches.
He was an open critic of then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's policies and she was said to have thought of Dr Jenkins as a "cuckoo in the establishment nest".
The bishop, who was born in Bromley in south London, went on to write Market Whys And Human Wherefores: Thinking Again About Markets, Politics, And People about the deficiencies of economic theory.
He leaves behind four children. A funeral will be held at Durham Cathedral at a later date, his family said.


Wolves head coach Paul Lambert says winger Ivan Cavaleiro will be unavailable for "a few weeks" after he suffered a knee injury.

Cavaleiro became Wolves' record signing when he joined from Monaco for a reported £7m fee in August.
The 23-year-old has made 22 league appearances for the Championship side, but has started in only 12 games.
Wolves are 18th in the Championship table, seven points above the relegation zone.


Part of the Manx Viking collection has been loaned to a UK museum for a major new exhibition opening later this year.

The National Maritime Museum in Cornwall plans to run Viking Voyagers from 20 March to 22 February 2017.
Sword parts, glass beads and iron nails from a Viking ship burial are among the items on loan from the Isle of Man.
Allison Fox, archaeology curator at Manx National Heritage (MNH), said: "The Isle of Man became a central part of the Viking territory."
She added: "Many wonderful Viking Age artefacts have been discovered over the years on the Isle of Man through archaeological excavation and metal detecting.
"Thanks to the generosity of the finders and landowners, many have been donated to the National collections.
"The Manx Viking artefacts travelling to Falmouth will help tell the story of who the Vikings were and how they managed to colonise such a large swathe of Europe."
Richard Doughty, director of National Maritime Museum Cornwall said other lending partners for Viking Voyagers includes the National Museum of Ireland and the National Museum of Denmark.


A pilot who died when his James Bond-style kit plane crashed in Ireland was previously refused a permit to fly the aircraft in the UK, a report says.

Howard Cox, 67, from Bideford in Devon, was on his way to an air show in the Republic of Ireland in July 2015 in a home-built Bede BD5 aircraft.
The plane crashed after an engine fire.
Ireland's Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) said the UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) had banned such aircraft over safety concerns.
Mr Cox, who had more than 3,200 hours of flying experience, attempted an emergency landing in Co Waterford after his engine failed. The aircraft exploded on impact.
He had been flying in the Waterford-based plane for eight minutes, to the Foynes Air Show at the Shannon Estuary, before making a mayday call reporting an engine fire.
More on this, plus other Devon and Cornwall news
Mr Cox had spent 30 years working on his single-seat kit plane, similar to one featured in James Bond film Octopussy.
The AAIU report said the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) granted Mr Cox permission to fly the plane.
This was after the aircraft was damaged in a similar emergency landing in Devon in 1994, albeit with a different engine.
Inspectors said the CAA rejected a new Permit-to-Fly application for the Bede in the UK five years later over the aircraft type's "very poor safety record".
The CAA said US statistics showed of the few hundred fully constructed BD5s flying between 1972 and 1998, there were more than 80 accidents, 37 involving death or serious injury.
The CAA also stopped it from flying in the UK in 2000.
The IAA has told the AAIU it will not accept any further applications to register BD5s in the future.


South Korea became only the second Asian nation to win an Olympic men's football medal when they beat near neighbours Japan 2-0 in a feisty bronze-medal match in Cardiff.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Japan, bronze medallists in Mexico City 1968, went behind to Arsenal striker Park Chu-Young's low 38th-minute shot.
Korea captain Koo Jacheol doubled their lead from 15 yards on 57 minutes.
Japan skipper Maya Yoshida saw his late header disallowed for a foul on Korean keeper Jung Sungryong.
Korea, convincingly beaten by tournament favourites Brazil in the last four, had never previously progressed past the Olympics quarter-finals and their victory in the Millennium Stadium was greeted by joyous celebrations at the final whistle.
"Japan didn't create anything. They were outmuscled in the early part of the game and you thought their technical ability would come through in the second half, but it didn't. Korea were very stubborn, scored goals and asked questions. Japan had no answer.
"Korea celebrated like they had won a gold medal - and they thoroughly deserved it on the day."
Japan had not conceded a goal in the tournament before their 3-1 semi-final defeat by Mexico, but their defensive frailties were exposed for the second successive game as Korea capitalised.
An isolated Park latched on to a long ball before superbly twisting and turning into space to fire a low shot past Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda at his near post.
Japan pushed and probed in search of an equaliser, but they were hit by a sucker punch when a huge punt by Korea goalkeeper Jung Sungryong found Koo who lashed into the bottom corner.
The rivalry between the two nations threatened to boil over shortly after the half-hour when Koo became the third Korean player, after Ki Sungyueng and Oh Jaesuk, to be booked for cynically fouling Japan's Yuki Otsu.
The Japanese players were furious with the rough treatment received by Otsu, who appeared to have been identified by Korea as the dangerman following a series of impressive Olympic displays.
But Otsu could not inspire a Japan comeback as their tearful players slumped to the turf in despair at the final whistle.
