Rail passengers in south Wales should see services return to normal after a 48-hour First Great Western (FGW) strike ended.

Strikes started on Wednesday evening, after last-minute talks with the Rail, Maritime and Transport union broke down, and ended at 18:30 BST on Friday.
The dispute was over plans to scrap guards and buffet car services on FGW's new Hitachi Inter City Express trains.
Reduced services were in place during the walkout.


Hundreds of thousands of people every year in the UK suffer from the severe stress reaction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

But Dr Jennifer Wild of the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London says in this week's Scrubbing Up that they are not getting the help they need.
I'm treating Paul, a young man who was stabbed in London in 2001. Terrifying memories of the attack replay over and over in his mind. He can't concentrate, feels scared, and has been unable to leave his house.
He has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and has been suffering for 10 years. But it is only now that he's getting treatment.
Sadly this is a common story for trauma survivors.
They wait years before getting the help they need because they're ashamed they're coping so badly and many don't even know that their symptoms can be treated.
But that's not the only problem. GPs don't know enough about what PTSD is and how it should be treated.
An estimated 1.5% of England's adult population suffer from PTSD. That's over 700,000 people and research shows that much less than half this number will go to their GPs for help.
Even when sufferers pluck up the courage to talk to their doctor, surveys show that many GPs are not very familiar with PTSD or the best way to treat it.
Many, like the man I'm treating, are given drugs for depression or insomnia.
That's because some of the symptoms of PTSD overlap with depression and some symptoms, like sleep problems, may appear to be the source of the problem.
But drugs for depression are less effective than talking therapies for PTSD, like cognitive-behavioural therapy.  They also have unpleasant side effects.
Sleeping tablets are addictive and are only a patch on one of the symptoms, doing nothing to resolve the source of the suffering.
When GPs hear their patients talking about sleep problems or feeling low, they should also ask if the patient has been through a traumatic event.  Then they need to ask about the classic symptoms of PTSD.
Is the patient having unwanted memories of what happened, nightmares, or flashbacks?  Are they avoiding reminders, such as talking about what happened or activities, such as driving, that may remind them of what happened?
People who have suffered through a trauma and are suffering with PTSD can get cognitive behavioural therapy, one of the leading treatments for PTSD, through the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme (IAPT).   They can self-refer or go to their GP and ask to be referred to a local IAPT service or to one of the UK's specialist trauma clinics.
But there are other ways to get treatment.  Many clinical research centres offer treatment as part of ongoing audit or research development programmes and patients can usually get access to this treatment within weeks.
So to redress the balance between the number of people suffering from PTSD and the numbers getting treatment, patients and GPs need to be aware of the symptoms that make up the PTSD diagnosis, understand that some symptoms may overlap with depression, and to be aware of the treatments that are available.


Footage has been released showing the demolition of a bridge over the A38 in Devon.

16 May 2016 Last updated at 08:42 BST
Merafield Bridge in Plympton was detonated overnight on Saturday, as part of a Â£6.4m project to replace the structure.
The bridge, built in 1969, was damaged by alkali silica reaction, more commonly known as "concrete cancer".

Hibernian Ladies netted in added time to defeat holders Glasgow City and win the SWPL Cup.

City had led in the first half through Julie Fleeting's goal.
However, Hibs were level by the break as Lucy Graham tucked home on the rebound after Lizzie Arnot's penalty had been saved.
And, with time running out, a ball into the Glasgow box was deflected into the net by Arnot to give Hibs victory at the death.


Last week, Aloisa Elvira de Souza walked into a job centre specialising in finding maids for middle-class families in Brazil.

A few years ago, Mrs Souza might have gone to the agency to look for a maid - not to offer her services as one.
She has spent the past 12 years working in the Greater Sao Paulo area's metalworks industry, where salaries are on average three times higher than those of domestic workers.
Mrs Souza has never worked as a maid and seems overqualified for a job cleaning houses, ironing clothes, taking care of children and cooking.
But she cannot afford to be picky right now. Her debts are piling up, from health insurance to her daughter's college tuition.
"I have bills to pay every month, so I thought getting a job as a maid would be the solution," she says.
"I don't have formal experience, but I do this sort of work in my own home. So why not?"
Brazil is going through its worst recession in more than two decades.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts the country's economy will have contracted by almost 8% in two years by the end of 2016.
Brazil soared in the past decade, as one of the emerging Brics economies, when its commodities were hot property in the international markets.
But with China slowing down and commodity prices reaching record lows, Brazil's economy went into reverse at high speed last year.
President Dilma Rousseff - from the governing Workers' Party - tried to delay the effects of the recession in the labour market and pumped stimulus money into the economy through tax breaks and subsidies.
But now those policies, intended to protect workers, are doing the exact opposite.
Brazil's debt grew, and the country lost its investment-grade credit rating as well as consumer and investor confidence.
And workers' situations have deteriorated rapidly in the past few months.
In just one year, the number of unemployed people jumped 41% - from 6.4 million people to 9.1 million.
Brazil went from a situation some economists consider full employment, back in early 2014, to 9% unemployment now.
Wages increased in that period, but inflation rose almost twice as fast, so most workers are now worse off.
A closer look at Brazil's economy reveals some worrying trends.
Domestic workers are a symbol of that change.
Brazil is the country with the highest number of domestic workers in the world. Six million people - more than 90% of them women - work as maids.
A few years ago, when Brazil's economy was flourishing and the country needed workers to fill all the new jobs, women began leaving domestic service to work in industry and shops.
In 2011, Brazil's Finance Minister hailed domestic workers as a "sub-utilised" labour reserve - an army of women who could gain skills and enter the job market filling better roles, with higher wages.
And that really did happen.
From 2007 until last year, the percentage of people working in domestic jobs fell - from about 8% of Brazil's workforce to below 6%.
Middle-income families were left with the choice of either paying higher wages to their maids or doing their own cooking and cleaning.
But now there are signs that this trend is in reverse.
More women are finding themselves in Mrs Souza's position: losing their jobs in industry and commerce and moving into less skilled jobs with lower wages, many of them returning to roles they thought they had left behind.
Simone Fernandes spent Brazil's boom years working in a supermarket. She thought her days as a maid were over, but now she is back working for a middle-class family.
"Back then things were getting better," she says.
"You had many job offers. You knew that when you left a job, you'd be quickly employed less than a month later.
"Also, you could go to your boss and he would give you counteroffers. But that was then. Now, you have to be happy to just have a job."
Daniele Kuipers, who set up Casa and Cafe, a website that helps maids find jobs, says the number of women offering their services grew a staggering 92% last year, as Brazil's recession deepened.
But the demand for domestic servants did not grow.
Middle-income families are cutting their expenses because of the crisis too.
During the boom years, Brazil updated its domestic service laws, increasing protection for formal workers.
This should have been good news - but, in the current recession, it has only increased costs for hiring maids formally.
As a result, Fernando Souza, owner of the Prendas Domesticas job agency, says, there is huge growth in the number of informal domestic workers, who get lower wages and are not collecting their social security payments.
This growth in black market jobs is a trend for all workers in Brazil, not just maids. In one year, Brazil lost one million formal jobs.
Brazil's prolonged recession is having dire consequences for the poorer classes.
Mrs Fernandes and her husband had to sell their car and move into a smaller flat.
They are working longer hours - but, with prices rising on a monthly basis, their standard of living is declining rapidly.
There may be one silver lining, though, for some of these families who were emerging socially but are now sinking again.
During Brazil's good years, both Mrs Souza and Mrs Fernandes managed to get their children through college.
That means the next generation of workers may be more skilled than the current one.
Brazil's challenge for the future will be to create new skilled jobs for them.

Don't Touch extended his unbeaten run to five by winning the William Hill Ayr Gold Cup in a tight finish under jockey Tony Hamilton.

The 6-1 favourite beat 50-1 outsider Poyle Vinnie by half a length in the 25-strong field with Ninjago (33-1) third and Toofi (10-1) fourth.
He became the first three-year-old to win the race since 2002.
"He's a horse I've always loved and this is a race I've always wanted to win," said Hamilton.
"He's done it a bit too well really as I was in front too soon but we've got away with it."
The win in Ayr gave trainer Richard Fahey a Gold and Silver Cup double after Tatlisu beat stable mate George Bowen earlier on the card.
In all, Fahey won six races around the country - three of the winners, like Don't Touch, owned by financier Nicholas Wrigley and businessman Kevin Hart - which took the stable's winnings for the season past the £3m mark for the first time.
Fahey said: "You need a proper horse to win this. You've got to be progressive and nearly be a Group horse."


Manchester United are to carry out "significant structural work" at Old Trafford to accommodate more than 300 new positions for disabled supporters.

The work, to be completed by August, will involve moving 2,600 season-ticket holders over the next three years.
Old Trafford's capacity will be reduced from just over 75,000 to about 73,300 because of the changes.
A 2014 BBC investigation found United offered 43% of the recommended number of wheelchair spaces.
The new positions for disabled supporters will see the East Stand accessible platform extended across and into the Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton Stands.
Though structural work will be complete by August 2017, the use of the spaces will be phased in while existing season-ticket holders are moved.
As part of the changes at Old Trafford:

United's group managing director Richard Arnold said: "Old Trafford is a home for all United fans.
"These changes will help many more of our loyal disabled supporters to attend games to watch their heroes."
Disability charity Level Playing Field said it was disappointed United would not meet the Premier League's pledge but congratulated the club on the improvements being made.
Manchester United Supporters' Trust welcomed the expansion of disabled facilities but said it "noted with concern" the impact it would have on existing season-ticket holders.
It added: "We will also be making a strenuous argument for general expansion of stadium capacity."
Katie Gornall, sports news correspondent
For years, top clubs have offered numerous reasons for failing to meet accessibility guidelines, but Manchester United's announcement means those explanations will no longer cut it.
They have managed to adapt a century-old stadium, move season-ticket holders, and accept that capacity will have to decrease in order to cater properly for their disabled fans.
Many will rightly say "about time too" for a club of United's resources, but this type and scale of structural work is unprecedented in the Premier League and marks an attitudinal change. As MP Damian Collins said recently " this isn't really about money, it's about the will to do it".


Beaten finalist Andy Murray said he was keen to be reunited with his pregnant wife Kim after describing his Australian Open experience as "hard".

Media playback is not supported on this device
The pair's first child is due in the next two weeks and the Briton went to the airport soon after his straight-sets defeat by Novak Djokovic.
"I'm proud I got into this position," said the world number two, who suffered his fifth final defeat in Melbourne.
"I'm just quite looking forward to getting home now."
Murray, 28, was beaten 6-1 7-5 7-6 (7-3) by world number one Djokovic, who claimed his sixth Australian Open title, tying the record of Australia's Roy Emerson.
"Regardless of today's result, it's been hard," added Murray, who thanked his wife for allowing him to play in Melbourne.
"Had I lost in the third or fourth round, it still would have been difficult with everything that happened, but she's been amazing and handled everything unbelievably well.
"I have to thank her for allowing me to play and stay here with everything that was going on. It was tough."
There was an added incentive to return home early when his father-in-law Nigel Sears, who coaches Ana Ivanovic, collapsed while watching the Serb at Melbourne Park.
"It was the closest I've been to leaving a Grand Slam," said Murray. "It was a tough couple of days, but thankfully he's fine now."
The Scot left Rod Laver Arena with the local time past 23:00 to carry out his media duties, before heading for the airport.
"It feels like for five days I've been held on almost every single flight," he said. "The first one out of here, I'm leaving."
Murray earned the unenviable record of becoming only the second player since tennis turned professional in 1968 to finish runner-up at the same Grand Slam five times.
While the Scot made early errors, world number one Djokovic raced into a 5-0 lead and would never relinquish control of the match. The Serb moves level with Australian Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg of Sweden on 11 Grand Slam titles.
"I started the last couple of matches quite slowly," he said. "I think understandably in some respects.
"Obviously it's not good to begin matches like that against someone like Novak, but I'm proud of the way I fought and managed to get myself back into the match and create chances for myself."
The former Wimbledon and US Open champion has now lost 11 of his past 12 matches against 28-year-old Djokovic.
"I don't know how far off I was tonight," said Murray.
"The first set, I wasn't there, but the second and third sets I do think were very close. I do think I could have played a bit better.
"Most of the matches we've played in Slams, I think, have been competitive. Whether that looks the same from the outside or not, I don't know."
Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent
"Allowing Djokovic a 6-1 head start is like giving Usain Bolt a 10m start in a 100m sprint.
"Djokovic played another immaculate first set but Murray was very sluggish and only discovered his best when he went a break down midway through the second set.
"Murray attacked gloriously and his net play become more of a threat as he broke back and got to within two points of squaring the match.
"But Djokovic did not offer any encouragement. He was again magnificent all night long - too consistent and too strong for even the second best player in the world."


Former Brazilian oil and mining tycoon Eike Batista has been transferred to a high security prison in Rio de Janeiro after being arrested on arrival from New York.

Once Brazil's richest man, he has been accused of paying millions of dollars in bribes to secure contracts with Rio's state government.
Mr Batista has denied any wrongdoing.
He has promised to help the authorities in their efforts to tackle corruption which he says is widespread in Brazil.
Before boarding the plane and turning himself in to police, Mr Batista said he was returning to Brazil to clear his name.
"I'm at the disposal of the courts," he told O Globo newspaper in New York. "As a Brazilian, I am doing my duty."
Under Brazilian law, Mr Batista would have been sent to a special prison wing if he had a university degree.
But as he dropped out before finishing his engineering degree in Germany, he will be serving time in an ordinary cell with six other inmates at the Bangu penitentiary.
Many Brazilian jails are overcrowded and controlled by criminal gangs.
The authorities in Rio say, however, that is not the case at Bangu.
Mr Batista was met by police as he landed in Rio on Monday morning.
He was escorted off the plane and initially taken to the Ary Franco prison in Rio.
After undergoing medical exams and having his hair cut short, he was transferred to the high security prison in the outskirts of the city.
Mr Batista was declared a fugitive by Brazilian officials after police raided his estate in Rio de Janeiro last week and found he had left for New York just hours earlier.
BBC South America business correspondent Daniel Gallas says there was much speculation on whether Mr Batista would return to Brazil or use his German passport to flee to Europe.
But Mr Batista said the trip to New York was not an attempt on his part to flee justice.
He is now due to be questioned about his alleged involvement in a corruption ring involving powerful business people and influential politicians in Rio de Janeiro state.
Investigators accuse Mr Batista of paying the then-governor of the state, Sergio Cabral, $16.5m (£13.2m) in bribes to win government contracts.
Mr Cabral was arrested in November as part of a larger corruption investigation dubbed Operation Car Wash.
As a result of Operation Car Wash, more than 100 people, including Brazil's most powerful building tycoon, Marcelo Odebrecht, have been convicted of crimes such as bribery, racketeering and money-laundering.


Hamilton Accies secured a Scottish Cup quarter-final away to Rangers as Championship visitors Dunfermline Athletic failed to net on penalties.

The Pars took the lead in the replay when Callum Morris poked home from close range after defensive partner Lee Ashcroft had two headers blocked.
Dunfermline paid for missed chances when Hamilton equalised after Rakish Bingham scored from the penalty spot.
Extra-time followed without a goal and Accies went through after a shoot-out.
It not only denied the visitors a big pay day at Ibrox but also a third straight win at New Douglas Park against their Premiership hosts.
The visitors had no cause to arrive at the SuperSeal Stadium in trepidation. They were on a run of only one loss in 13 games and might have won this tie in the first game at the weekend if they had been more accurate in front of goal.
There was a clear threat in the attacking pace and cleverness of the wide men, Kallum Higginbothm and Paul McMullan, while Nicky Clark and Michael Moffat dovetailed well up front.
The early authority, though, was built on the powerful midfield pairing of Nat Wedderburn and John Herron.
From that base, McMullan threatened with a low shot that flew wide then, from a corner kick, Hamilton failed to defend their lines.
First, Wedderburn's header returned the ball into the danger area, then Ashcroft twice won headers, the second one sending the ball to his central defensive partner, Morris, who scored with his head.
There might have been a second goal, too, just after half-time, when Moffat sent Clark through, but his first touch was heavy and that allowed the Hamilton goalkeeper Remi Matthews to block.
The home side set out to be in command of the game, playing three at the back to mark and cover Dunfermline's front two and three up front to provide attacking cut and thrust.
The reality, though, was that the team's display lacked intensity or purpose. The first-half was a trial for them, although Dougie Imrie will feel he should have converted with a half-volley on the cusp of half-time.
Hamilton enjoyed more possession after the break, with Massimo Donati having moved into midfield, but Rakish Bingham had his long-rage effort pushed away by Dunfermline goalkeeper Sean Murdoch.
Once Eamonn Brophy was on the field as a substitute, there was more substance to their attacking play.
The scoreline might have changed on two second-half moments. The first came when Herron chipped over an empty goal after a Moffat effort was blocked by Matthews.
As urgency then gripped Hamilton's play, the home side felt they were due a penalty kick when Brophy's surging run into the penalty area ended with him tumbling to the ground.
Martin Canning's team was galvanised by the sense of injustice and, when Scott McCann ran into the penalty area, he was clearly tripped by Morris, who did not even complain about the awarded of a penalty kick, and Bingham converted to take the tie into extra-time.
Dunfermline goalkeeper Sean Murdoch saved from Murdoch and Bingham, but there was to be no decisive effort in extra-time.
Instead, the game was decided on penalties, with Dunfermline continuing their poor form from this spot this season.
Hamilton Academical manager Martin Canning: "In the second half, you could feel the momentum switching as we came back into it and the penalty looked a penalty even before the penalty that we did get.
"We managed to find a way to get our goal and then we should have won the game in extra-time. Over the piece, we deserved to win the game. The most important thing in a cup tie is to get the job done.
"It was difficult, because they're an organised side and it was never going to be easy to score, but you could sense it was coming.
"It's great to have nine first-team lads out who would make a difference on a night like this and we've still got the squad to get through to the quarter-final.
"The quality of the penalties was good. Remi saves three out of three, which is big for him.
"We know it's going to be very difficult [against Rangers at Ibrox], but we acquitted ourselves well there at the start of the season."
Dunfermline Athletic manager Allan Johnston: "The boys showed a lot of quality in the two games and tonight we were comfortable for long spells. It looked as though Hamilton were struggling to break us down.
"Probably the same as the first leg, you've got to take your chances, but we defended really well and we were disappointed to lose the goal with a couple of minutes to go.
"I had a quick look at the video and [the penalty award] he's skipped by a couple of challenges and over-run the ball a wee bit. It just looks like a dive into the box and. to be fair to the referee. he was strong throughout the game, but that key decision he got wrong.
"It was a fairly even game, we probably just edged it on chances, so it's disappointing to go out.
"In training, everybody whips [penalties] into the top corner and nobody misses. Sometimes it's just pressure and I'm sure it's something the boys will learn from, but penalties are a lottery.
"I'm sure [the penalty misses earlier in the season were in players' minds], but there were a lot of different penalty takers and everybody who took a penalty was confident of stepping up and taking it."

A man with multiple sclerosis (MS) who requires almost 24-hour care has said he "can't exist" without the help of care assistants and has called for them to be given more reward for their work.

Martin Harney said he was finding it increasingly difficult to find carers as those who do the job are leaving the profession due to low pay.
He said carers' 15-minute home calls were putting pressure on them and him.
Independent care providers have warned that they are struggling to cope.
Rising costs, including the recently introduced National Living Wage, means some companies are struggling to stay afloat, the Independent Health and Care Providers has said.
Northern Ireland's health trusts pay the care provider companies an average of Â£12 an hour.
From that, the providers pay carers' wages and other costs, such as national insurance, pension contributions and petrol allowance.
But Mr Harney said he did not believe a value could be put on the care he receives.
"It's my life. I can't exist without it. I need people with me all the time," he said.
"At the minute I'm finding it very hard to find carers because those who wanted to do the job were not getting the respect and pay the needed.
"The carer people don't get the satisfaction or the reward that they deserve."
He receives 15-minute visits from his carers, and during that time they have to wash, dress and feed him, as well as give him medication.
He said that is not enough time those tasks to be carried out.
Charlene McCoy, who is Mr Harney's care assistant, said that while she loves her job it can be "extremely tough".
"The fact you have to try and squeeze so many duties to be able to give the right level of care at all times to that client within 15 minutes is extremely difficult," Ms McCoy said.
"I'm committed to my clients, I like to speak to them on a personal, human level rather than rush in and out of calls."
She said that she wants to remain in the job but the level of pay she receives leaves her in a difficult position.
"Unfortunately, the minimum wage attachment to this just does not place the value that I have personally to the role," she said.
"I have personal financial commitments to keep up.
"If we don't raise the wage for this, the likes of myself will be forced to look elsewhere.
"People have to leave a career that they are so passionate about just so they can continue to look after themselves."


Nine-man Barrow fought back from two goals down to salvage a draw at Aldershot in a pulsating encounter.

The Bluebirds' situation looked hopeless deep into injury time, but substitute Ross Hannah unleashed a 25-yard free-kick that silenced a stunned Recreation Ground.
It had all looked so promising for the Shots when Matt McClure gave them a sensational first-minute lead. Will Evans made it 2-0 as they dominated the first half.
However Barrow's Shaun Tuton went on an inspirational run on 73 minutes, breaking over halfway, beating three men and finishing beautifully.
The visitors lost their discipline late on, as both Shaun Beeley and Nick Anderton were sent off for double bookings. But incredibly the late wonder goal saved a point.

Tunisian security forces are patrolling tourist spots and a state of emergency is still in place, one year after a gunman opened fire on a beach, killing 38 tourists - 30 of them British.

The Sousse attack on 26 June was claimed by so-called Islamic State.
But Tunisia looks unlikely to overcome the threat posed by its domestic jihadists anytime soon.
An additional 1,500 guards are boosting security at beaches and festivals this summer. The move has been coordinated with leading hotel chains.
The government has allocated 550 million dinars ($255 million) in this year's budget to combating terrorism, and the authorities say 1,400 suspected militants were arrested between January and April.
The country has also tried to impose controls at hundreds of mosques after it emerged they had been used to preach radical views. The Sousse gunman, Seifeddine Rezgui, is reported to have frequented one of them.
Despite these efforts, Tunisia has suffered major terrorist incidents since Sousse.
Last November, an attack targeted a bus carrying members of the presidential guard in Tunis, just 200 metres from the Interior Ministry, killing 12 guards and prompting the authorities to declare a state of emergency.
In May this year, four National Guards were killed by a suicide bomber in Tataouine Governorate.
But an attack in March most clearly highlighted the home-grown nature of Tunisia's terror threat.
Nearly 40 militants were killed in clashes with security forces after they crossed from Libya and attacked the town of Ben Guerdane.
It was not just a spillover of the Libyan crisis. Most of the fighters were Tunisian nationals who had been trained in Libya before returning to stage an attack in their home country.
Days before the attack, nearly 50 militants were killed in a US air strike on IS fighters in the Libyan city of Sabratha. Again, most of them were Tunisian.
This comes as little surprise. Tunisians have been associated with jihadist activity in Libya for the last few years. Militants have attended training camps there, reportedly including the Sousse gunman.
Studies indicate that Tunisians make up the highest proportion of foreign fighters in Syria and Iraq.
Moreover, suspected jihadist cells are discovered with alarming regularity across Tunisia.
Interior Minister Hadi Majdoub has told national TV that Tunisia is "still fighting" terrorism and the problem is not confined to the fasting month of Ramadan, when the Sousse attack took place.
Following the 2011 revolution, Tunisia has faced a persistent militant threat on several fronts.
The attack on the presidential guards, the Sousse attack and, before them, a major assault on the Bardo Museum in Tunis that killed 24 people were all claimed by IS.
Meanwhile, security forces are struggling to contain attacks by militants entrenched in the western Chaambi Mountains.
These are members of the Okba Ibn Nafaa Brigade, which is allied to IS rival Al-Qaeda, and they primarily target the army using landmines.
As part of its security measures, Tunisia has erected a barrier along the border with Libya, to try to protect itself from the chaos and lawlessness there.
But this defence will do little to address the threat that exists within Tunisia's borders.

Lukas Nmecha scored a 93rd-minute winner as England beat the Czech Republic 1-0 in Tbilisi to reach the European Under-19 Championship final.

Manchester City's Nmecha finished with an audacious back-heel from close range after combining with Tottenham's Marcus Edwards, with both players on as second-half substitutes.
Keith Downing's side face Portugal in Saturday's final in Gori, Georgia.
It is the fourth final reached by an England youth team this summer.
Last month, England won the Under-20 World Cup by beating Venezuela 1-0.
In addition, they won the 2017 Toulon Tournament in June, and reached the final of the European Under-17 tournament in May.
England were also semi-finalists at the European Under-21 Championship in Poland last month before losing on penalties to Germany.
It is also the third European Under-19 Championship final reached by England, having lost to France in 2005 and Ukraine in 2009.
Portugal beat the Netherlands 1-0 in Thursday's other semi-final.
"We left it late," said England manager Keith Downing.
"It was an awkward game - the Czechs are very well organised and well drilled, they made life really difficult for us for the 90 minutes. It was looking like it was going into extra time, but we found a little bit of magic from Marcus Edwards and a clever finish from Lukas."
Speaking to BBC Sport, he added: "That is our third clean sheet in four games. We talked about getting four out of five to give us a chance of wining the thing. Our defence is a bedrock and we have enough in the team going forward to produce goals."


Southend United defender Anton Ferdinand has signed a new two-year contract with the League One side.

The 32-year-old joined the Shrimpers in the summer of 2016 and played 36 times as Phil Brown's side finished just outside the third-tier play-off places.
The former West Ham, Sunderland and QPR centre-back has made 357 career appearances to date.
"I had a fantastic time here last season," said Ferdinand, who was made Southend captain in October.
"As I've said before, when the gaffer asked me to sign over a year ago, it was because of him that I joined Southend.
"The feeling I got off of him was one of reassurance, one of confidence and a real football man. He showed that to me throughout the season so I was keen to get the deal done to work with him for another couple of years."


For parents of young tennis players trying to make the grade in Indonesia, a number of sacrifices are needed - from selling the family home, to taking your offspring out of school for home tuition.

Twelve-year-old twin sisters Fitriani Sabatini and Fitriana Sabrina are among the top ranked players in their age group when they appear in tournaments such as the New Armada event in Central Java.
The pair - affectionately known as Ani and Ana by their mother - have been taught at home for a year so they can concentrate on their tennis.
"It was difficult to get the permission to skip classes to go to tournaments," says their mother Yetti "Nur" Mastuti.
"Their teachers were not very understanding."
Nur, and the youngsters' tennis coach father Nursalim sold the family home in Jakarta - and now live in rented accommodation - in order to pay tennis travel costs for the young pair.
At least once a month they compete in tournaments, some of them away from their home city.
The youngsters hope to emulate the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, who each went on to become the world's number one player.
When I ask who would achieve this feat first,  Ani, the older of the two. quips with a big smile, "The big sister first, of course."
But it is a dream that is increasingly hard to achieve for Indonesian players.
Indonesia's economic growth is visible in the sprawling new apartments that dot the Jakarta skyline, and the modern buildings come with sporting facilities not previously available to many Indonesians.
Tennis courts are a common feature.
But the sport is not necessarily more popular today than a few years ago, when Indonesian tennis was a force to be reckoned with, at least regionally.
Yayuk Basuki was Indonesia's biggest tennis star, winning four Asian Games gold medals in the 1980s and 1990s.
She also reached the quarter finals of Wimbledon in 1997, the furthest any Indonesian has ever gone at a Grand Slam event.
Later that year she also become the highest-ever WTF ranked tennis player from Indonesia, reaching number 19.
Today she runs the Yayuk Basuki Tennis Academy, teaching more than 150 under-18-year-olds the fundamentals of the game.
She claims her school charges less than others in Jakarta, because she wants to give everyone a chance to play.
Yayuk's school has trouble finding affordable facilities to use. There are no free public tennis courts in Indonesia.
Even government facilities charge fees, and Yayuk says the fees go up every year.
"We're not asking for free facilities," Yayuk said. "But if I can subsidise kids who are not wealthy enough to pay, why can't the government also subsidise if they have good facilities?"
The situation means tennis remains known as a sport for the wealthy in the country.
Most children who pick up tennis at a young age come from the upper middle class, who have access to a court at home, or whose family can afford to put them in a club.
However, the trouble for Indonesia is that the majority of the privileged children are not interested in pursuing tennis in the way that twins Ana and Ani are.
Their drive saw the twins win the doubles at the the New Armada tournament, and in the singles Ani was the losing finalist, and Ana reached the semis.
Private tennis instructor Alex Santoso sees a lot of potential in some of his students.
But he says those from richer families do not want to become professionals, as there is no guarantee they can "make a lot of money" by becoming a top-ranked male ATP or female WTA player.
And he claims that with the current competition and development programmes in Indonesia "it's impossible to get there".
The Indonesian Tennis Association, known as Pelti, is the governing body of tennis in the country.
Many Indonesians who are involved in tennis criticise Pelti for neglecting the development of young players, which has led to the talent drain in the last few years.
Its chairman Maman Wirjawan admits that there is a lot of work to be done, but refuses to take the blame.
"It's not only the government's job. The government has many problems as well. So we have to support the government. We have to help find ways to build sport in this country," he says.
Since taking on the leadership of Pelti in 2012 he says he has been working on a sustainable programme to develop young talent.
"We start from junior [level] - we are now planning to have tournaments in many cities, especially big cities, [in] 10 to 15 cities throughout the nation," he explains. "We will hold it on a monthly basis for the next five years."
Wirjawan's programme can only succeed with corporate sponsorship.
But he is a brother of Indonesia's Trade Minister Gita Wirjawan, and has extensive experience in port and oil and gas businesses.
Many hope that his wide network can help secure the support tennis needs.
That will give much comfort to potential talents like twins Ani and Ana who will be able to play more matches in their home town and improve their skills.
But unless and until that happens, the sacrifices made by the twins and their family may be high-risk, and the outlook for Indonesian tennis remains bleak.


A County Antrim tourist attraction has been forced to close for the second time in six months.

The Gobbins - a dramatic cliff face walk in Islandmagee - was unveiled to the public last August, following a £7.5m revamp.
It was closed on Monday because of an "increase in levels of rock-fall".
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council said they had no choice but to temporarily shut the path as a precautionary measure.
It is expected the popular tourist spot will remain closed for two to three weeks, while work is carried out on the cliff face.
A council spokesperson said: "As a coastal visitor experience exposed to the elements, the Gobbins will require ongoing routine maintenance...to mitigate the effects of coastal erosion on the path.
"A process of scaling has now commenced and while this is ongoing, it would be unsafe for visitors to use the path. This will reduce significantly any natural rock-fall thereafter."
The Gobbins was opened to the public for the first time in more than 50 years in 2015.
But following landslides caused by storms Abigail and Frank, it shut in January for repair work, only re-opening at the end of April.
The Gobbins was the brainchild of Irish railway engineer Berkeley Deane Wise.
It first opened in 1902 and quickly became famous as a white-knuckle walk.
Carved into black basalt cliffs, it was an engineering triumph, connected by a network of walkways and bridges, the most iconic of which was the tubular bridge.


Graham Ford has stepped down as Sri Lanka coach following the team's early exit from the Champions Trophy.

Ford was 15 months into his second stint with the team, who lost to Pakistan by three wickets in Cardiff.
It follows an inconsistent year for Sri Lanka who suffered their first ever Test loss to Bangladesh and a whitewash in South Africa.
The South African, who first coached the side from 2012 to 2014, had signed a contract until the 2019 World Cup.
The decision comes before Sri Lanka's one-day series against Zimbabwe, starting on Friday.
Sri Lanka Cricket said Ford had made an "invaluable contribution" but the decision was mutual.
The announcement comes after the board launched an investigation on Thursday into comments by fast bowler Lasith Malinga.
He compared the country's sports minister to a "monkey".
Ford previously worked with county club Surrey and was the director of cricket at Kent.
"It's been a privilege to work with these talented young men over the past 15 months," he said "Their passion for the sport is inspiring, as is indeed this nation's."
"I wish Sri Lanka Cricket and the boys the very best, and I must offer a word of advice to the young men - always believe in yourself, believe in your team, and play from your heart."


New Zealand produced another dominant second-half performance to crush battling Wales in Wellington.

Alun Wyn Jones' 38th-minute try tied the scores 10-10 at the interval.
But inspired by replacement fly-half Beauden Barrett, the All Blacks scored four tries after the break through Ben Smith, Barrett, Waiseke Naholo and Ardie Savea.
Liam Williams and Jonathan Davies scored in a late flurry, but Wales have now not beaten the Kiwis in 28 games.
Barrett was on the field following a serious-looking neck injury to Aaron Cruden who was taken off on a buggy in the first half
After their 39-21 loss in the first Test, Wales' management had warned their players they needed an 80-minute performance against the world champions.
But again the tourists could not live with the All Blacks in a crucial 14-minute period after the break in when they scored four tries.
It might have been different if Taulupe Faletau had held on to a pass from Sam Warburton who had intercepted in the 51st minute with the scores still tied.
The pass went to ground and within a minute Smith had crossed for New Zealand's second try as the hosts put their foot on the accelerator.
Again Wales gave as good as they got in the first half, dominating possession in the early phases, but having only Biggar's 15th minute penalty to show for it.
The All Blacks made no mistake on their first visit to the Welsh 22, Aaron Smith brilliantly exploiting a narrow defence with Israel Dagg dummying his way over to mark his 50th cap with a try.
The long break for Cruden's injury disrupted the momentum, before Wales struck on the stroke of half time.
Jonathan Davies brushed past Barrett to set up the attack and then sent a long pass to Jones loitering on the left-hand touchline who scored his ninth Test try in his 101st Wales game.  Biggar converted to level the scores.
Wales held their own and had a sniff of taking the lead with Warburton's interception before Barrett turned on the style.
He created a try for Smith and then scored between the posts. Naholo's third try in two Tests meant New Zealand had scored 19 points in eight minutes to take the game away from Wales.
Savea's try made it 36-10 with 14 minutes to play and Wales were looking down the barrel of a potential cricket score.
Williams capped a fine display by running in from half-way before Davies rounded-off a move from Jamie Roberts' interception with a thunderous hand-off and an assist by Rhys Priestland.
New Zealand coach Steve Hansen: "There was a lot more clarity about what we were trying to do.
"There were big improvements across the board, our line out was much better and the scrum as well.
"You'd still expect a lot of improvement [for the third Test]."
Wales coach Warren Gatland: "I'm pretty proud about that performance. There were a couple of key moments which were the difference.
"We had 58% territory and possession tonight and that's a massive number against the All Blacks, we've never done that before."
New Zealand team: Israel Dagg; Ben Smith, Malakai Fekitoa, Ryan Crotty, Waisake Naholo; Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith; Joe Moody, Dane Coles, Owen Franks, Brodie Retallick, Sam Whitelock, Jerome Kaino, Sam Cane, Kieran Read (capt).

Where once politicians lined up to bash the bankers, now they line up to belt the "big six" - the nation's energy firms.

Where once they promised to stop bonuses, now they pledge to curb gas and electricity bills.
The question they know voters are asking is: can you really make a difference and if so how?
The ministers' answer, for now, is greater transparency and competition. They're calling on companies to spell out precisely what is forcing them to hike their prices.
Why - they ask - is British Gas blaming them for the rising costs of green schemes and subsidies for the poor when other companies can meet the same obligations for much less money?
They're examining why it takes so long for people to change suppliers.
Where once they criticised proposals to intervene in the market they now boast of moves to put some customers on the lowest available tariff.
Not good enough, says Labour. They point out that only one in 10 customers benefited from that promise and say that the big six must be forced to re-structure and to have their prices frozen while they do.
In truth politicians of all colours are having to grapple with not one energy crisis but three: rising bills, climate change and the very real threat of blackouts.
It's easy to say that you'll cut bills at the same time as putting pressure on them to rise to pay for greener energy and greater investment in new power stations to stop the lights going out.
If you're the politician who can convince voters you can actually do it you're on to a winner.


The Mexican authorities say they have arrested the son of one of the country's most wanted drug lords.

Ruben Oseguera Gonzalez was captured in a dawn raid near Guadalajara - the capital of the western Jalisco state.
He is suspected to be second-in-command in the Jalisco New Generation cartel, led by his father Nemesio.
The gang is blamed for killing at least 20 police officers in March-April and May's shooting down of an army helicopter in which 10 people died.
Mr Oseguera Gonzalez, known as El Menchito, was arrested in Zapopan, near Guadalajara, the authorities said. No shots were fired.
This is the second time that he has been captured.
He was arrested in January 2014, but was released later that year for lack of evidence.
Mr Oseguera Gonzalez is suspected of controlling the cartel's finances and of buying drugs from South American countries.
The Jalisco New Generation cartel is involved in large-scale drug trafficking along Mexico's Pacific Coast.
It has recently increased its presence in the area, with Jalisco and the neighbouring Michoacan among Mexico's most violent states.
The Jalisco New Generation is also engaged in a turf war with the Knights Templar cartel.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico over the past eight years.


Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko has completed his move from Tottenham to Lokomotiv Moscow for a fee believed to be in the region of £8m.

The 30-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal.
Spurs sanctioned Pavlyuchenko's exit on transfer deadline day as they completed a deal for French forward Louis Saha from Everton.
Pavlyuchenko joined Spurs from Spartak Moscow in August 2008 and scored 42 goals in 113 appearances.
"We thank Roman for his contribution and wish him every success for the future," read a Tottenham statement.


Katherine Torrance underlined her status as one of British Diving's rising stars with a third title on the final day of the National Cup in Plymouth.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Torrance, 18, won the 1m event on Friday, synchronised 3m title on Saturday before sealing her individual 3m success.
"I won all the titles I wanted to, so can't complain really," Torrance said.
Noah Williams, 16, was the surprise winner of the individual 10m final.
Torrance, who claimed gold at the inaugural European Games in 2015, trains alongside Olympic champions Jack Laugher and Chris Mears in Leeds. She insists she has been motivated by their success last summer.
"It was really inspiring watching Chris and Jack and shows what can be achieved," she said.
"Hopefully I can push on, because I really want to one day be the best female diver in Britain."
Williams trains with Tom Daley at the London Aquatics Centre and with the Olympic bronze medallist skipping the event as he eases back into competition following a back injury, the teenager seized his opportunity.
Find out how to get into diving with our special guide.
He scored 477.95 to finish ahead of Matty Lee (471.85) and Matthew Dixon (432.70) in third, with Olympic bronze medallist Dan Goodfellow fourth.
"I'm in shock if I'm honest, but it was a really good competition and a great experience," he told BBC Sport.
"Diving next to Tom Daley is brilliant because it gives you a goal and a real target as to where you want to get to yourself."
The next competition for Britain's top divers will be the season-opening World Series event in Rostock, Germany 24-26 February.


The Brazilian Health ministry says it's developed new testing kits to rapidly identify the presence of three viruses - Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya - all carried by the same mosquito.

Health Minister Marcelo Castro said priority for testing would be given to pregnant women.
Brazil has the largest known outbreak of Zika, which has been linked to a sharp spike in birth defects.
Mr Castro also announced extra funds to speed up finding a vaccine for Zika.
He said that the goal was to develop a vaccine "in record time".
At the moment the only way to fight Zika is to clear standing water where mosquitoes breed.
The aim is that the tests will speed up diagnosis and ensure patients get correct medical treatment fast.
Since October around 3,530 babies have been born with microencephaly, which can lead to small heads and under-developed brains.
Fewer than 150 cases of microencephaly were seen in Brazil throughout 2014.
The US  State Department confirmed its first case of a baby born with brain damage because of infection by the Zika virus.
The baby was born in a hospital in Oahu, Hawaii.
The Hawaii State Department of Health said the mother was believed to have contracted Zika while living in Brazil in May 2015 and that the baby was most likely infected in the womb.
The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued an alert on Friday advising pregnant women to avoid travelling to Brazil and other Latin American and Caribbean countries where outbreaks of Zika have been registered.
The travel alert applies to Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Suriname, Venezuela and Puerto Rico.
Zika virus is transmitted by the Aedes species mosquito.


Wales' Commonwealth Games judo champion Natalie Powell says she has not contemplated missing out on the Olympic Games.

The World Judo Masters in Mexico on Sunday is the final qualification event before Rio.
Only one of the -78kg British judoka can be selected, with Powell leading rival Gemma Gibbons by 492 points in the qualifying race.
"I haven't thought of the prospect of not going," Powell said.
"If I fight as well as I know I can then hopefully I'll be on the plane to Rio.
"I've dedicated so much time and effort into it the last four years. Everything's been about going.
"The girls I've been fighting all year, I've beaten most of them before so it's pulling a performance together on the day."
The 25-year-old beat 2012 Olympic silver medallist Gibbons to win gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow two years ago.
Powell and Gibbons will have to share a room before competing in Mexico.
"Off the mat we get on as I get on with anybody else in the team, so it's just a shame that we've got to compete on the mat," Powell told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"In any other situation we would both be going as we've both qualified in the top 14.
"But we knew that was the case from the start so it's not like they've sprung it on us at the last minute."


Leyton Orient have made defender Christian Scales their sixth summer signing.

The 20-year-old, who primarily plays as a left-back, has agreed a two-year contract with the National League side.
Scales, who has previously spent time on loan at Crawley Town, graduated through Norwich City's academy before joining Crystal Palace in 2014.
Palace released Scales last summer and he has since played for National League South outfit Whitehawk.

Beach huts at a Dorset resort could become unaffordable following rent hikes, tenants have claimed.

Poole Borough Council plans to put charges up by 10% in 2017 and by 5% every year until 2020.
Poole Beach Hut Association said beach huts were being treated as "cash cows".
The authority said the rent rise "reflected high demand". Almost 1,400 names are on the waiting list for hiring its 1,100 seaside huts annually.
Council figures show prospective beach hut tenants could face a minimum wait of up to 18 years at some of its seven locations.
Bob Lister, from the association, said demand was lower due to the fact applicants could pay to apply for huts in more than one site.
"We know that most of those members who got huts last year had waited less than two years," he said.
"We've found there are people waiting for a specific hut and that is distorting the figures."
Mr Lister said rent on his own hut would be more than Â£2,500 by 2020- an increase of Â£1,100.
"For a lot of beach hut owners who live in flats, the hut is their life, their garden, their community - at these prices they'll be for the holiday home people and the 'Sandbanks set' who can afford them, rather than the people who actually need it," he added.
Kevin McErlane, from the council, said: "Demand for our beach huts continues to rise and for those people who do not wish to hire a hut on an annual basis there are a number of alternative options available."


Australian Treasurer Scott Morrison is set to announce the budget on Tuesday, which will double as the unofficial start of an election campaign.

Small tax cuts and spending on health, infrastructure and education are likely to be part of Tuesday's package.
The cost of these will likely be offset by pension changes and closing tax loopholes for multinational companies.
The budget is expected to form the backbone of the Liberal coalition's manifesto for an election.
Meanwhile Australia's Reserve Bank cut interest rates by 0.25% to a historic low of 1.75% on Tuesday in a bid to fight deflation.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said he will dissolve both houses of parliament after the budget and call an election by 11 May. Australia will almost certainly go to the polls on 2 July.
The opposition Labor party says the reforms - also believed to include a hike in tobacco prices and pension concessions for the wealthy - are too modest and favour the rich. It has been piling on the pressure with a raft of populist policy suggestions, say analysts.
For a moment on Monday, Mr Morrison appeared to forget the date for his own budget, insisting in parliament it was two days away.
He might well be wishing he had 24 hours up his sleeve. A lot is riding on his economic plan, which doubles as the government's pitch to voters. As the official announcement of an early election draws near, the resurgent opposition Labor Party has been piling on pressure with its populist policies.
It appears this year's budget is about two things: neutralising Labor's lines of attack for the election, while emphasising a few key differences that play up the government's economic management credentials.
Of course, there are also the minor issues of setting up Australia's economy for future prosperity and reducing a ballooning deficit.
Five things to watch on Australia's budget day
The budget announcement begins at 19:30 AEST (10:30 GMT) - the treasurer and the prime minister say it will create additional jobs and grow the economy.
The government will create a A$5bn (US$3.8bn; Â£2.6bn) fund for critical infrastructure in cities, Mr Morrison announced on Monday.
There will almost certainly be small cuts in the company tax rate and those earning more than A$80,000 will also benefit as the earning threshold for the second-highest tax bracket is pushed higher.
Additional spending on health and education is also being promised, but at more modest levels than in the opposition Labor party's proposals.
Labor has already announced a number of policies, including a plan to end "negative gearing" tax concessions for property investors buying existing homes that would raise money to pay for its spending.
The government opposes Labor's policy to end negative gearing and says it will cause house prices to crash.


Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler says he turned down a move to Arsenal in January and plans to remain with the Bundesliga club this summer.

The 20-year-old Germany international was linked with a move to the Gunners during the transfer window.
Draxler, who signed a five-year contract with Schalke in May, said: "In January, there was the offer of Arsenal, but I decided to stay.
"I will do the same this summer. I want to play one year more in Schalke."
Draxler's current contract reportedly contains a 45m euros (£38m) buyout clause.
He has played on the left of midfield and in a central attacking midfield role, scoring 15 goals in more than 100 appearances.
Age: 20
Born: Gladbeck, Germany
Germany caps: 11 (1 goal)
Schalke appearances 2013-14: 38 (6 goals)
Draxler was an unused substitute as Germany beat Portugal 4-0 in their opening World Cup group game in Salvador on Monday and is confident his country can win the trophy for the first time since 1990.
"We were a little bit nervous before the game," said Draxler. "But we know we are very strong and we wanted to show the world we can win the title.
"There are many other great nations and teams here, but we are one of the favourites."
Thomas Muller scored a hat-tick to add to the five goals he scored in earning the Golden Boot at the 2010 World Cup.
"He is so dangerous in front of goal," said Draxler.
"He always knows where he has to be. That's his secret. He knows where he has to be to score goals."
Draxler said the 24-year-old Muller has the potential to become a Germany great given his striker rate and age.


Plans to rebuild flood-damaged Gloucester City Football Club's stadium have gone on display.

The non-league club's ground at Meadow Park was completely submerged by the 2007 floods and they have been unable to play there since.
The new ground will be a completely new build, within the boundaries of the old stadium, and will include flood defences.
The plans will be submitted to Gloucester County Council next week.
Club spokesman Mike Dunstan said: "We have regularly communicated with residents and can say that this flood defence proposal will give substantial and significant benefits to the residents and businesses of the Sudmeadow area.
"GCFC flood risks consultants have been working on this proposal since 2008 with the EA (Environment Agency) to provide the solution."
Since 2007 the club has played home games at the grounds of Forest Green Rovers, Cirencester Town and Cheltenham Town.
Club chairman Nigel Hughes said: "I am especially pleased for our supporters who have, throughout this very difficult time, been wonderfully supportive and extremely patient with us.
"There is still much work to be done but this gives us all a big lift and is something to work towards."


Police Scotland is to further delay its plans to close control rooms in Aberdeen and Inverness.

They had been expected to close early this year, with calls being transferred to a new control room in Dundee.
An inquiry into the deaths of two people in a car accident on the M9 in July last year delayed that move until later this year.
The force has now said that Aberdeen will close in March next year, with Inverness following three months later.
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland will oversee the process, Police Scotland said.


The long-awaited £130m police, fire and prison training college project in County Tyrone has moved a step closer with the appointment of a contractor.

It will be built by a consortium comprising of Belfast company Gilbert Ash and Spanish firm FCC.
The next few months will be spent agreeing the final cost.
Work has been scheduled to begin next spring, subject to final contract approval by the Northern Ireland Executive.
The facility - at Desertcreat, near Cookstown - has been in the pipeline for several years and will be one of the biggest construction projects in Northern Ireland.
Justice Minister David Ford said: "This is another significant phase in the development of this unique project.
"The delivery of the college is an important commitment in the Programme for Government and will provide a much needed boost to our local construction industry with the creation of much needed jobs."
There had been problems over costs incurred by the design team working on the project.
It was revealed in March that "professional incompetence" by the design team had led to the costs spiralling from £101m to £137m.
The project was first announced in 2004 and was originally due to be finished in 2008.
The cost envisaged at the time was £80m.


An incident in which a woman returned from a walk up Cave Hill in Belfast to find her car flipped on to its roof is being investigated by police.

Katy Skelton, 25, from County Antrim, parked her blue Mini before going for a walk with friends on 3 May.
She said she returned to find her car "completely ruined".
"My sat nav took me to the back entrance of Cave Hill. There were a few other cars around so I parked up behind them on the grass area," she said.
"I didn't imagine that I'd come back to my car like that."
Katy, who works for mental health organisation Inspire, said she found the "car on its roof on the road".
"The windscreens have been smashed and the roof is caved in," she added.
"It is absolutely destroyed."
It was Katy's first time up Cave Hill and she said she would not be back anytime soon.
"I waited from 8pm to midnight until the police arrived," she added.
"It was pitch black, I was freezing and I was terrified they were going to come back and do something to the car or me."
Police are urging anyone who saw anything suspicious between 18:00 to 20:00 BST to contact them.


Sandra Oh, one of the original stars of the US medical drama Grey's Anatomy, is to leave the show after eight years.

Oh, who won a Golden Globe for her role as prickly Dr Cristina Yang, was one of the original six cast members, all of whom started the series as interns.
"Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go," Oh told the Hollywood Reporter.
It has not been revealed how the 42-year-old will exit the ABC show at the end of its upcoming 10th season.
Oh added: "It's such an interesting thing to play a character for so long and to actually get the sense that she wants to be let go as well.
"Cristina wants to be let go, and I am ready to let her go. We have to start the process, story-wise, for the Grey's writers to think of why she's going to go."
Oh has received five supporting actress Emmy nominations for her portrayal of Dr Yang, an ambitious and driven doctor who repeatedly puts her career before her personal life.
She told the Hollywood Reporter that she started to consider leaving in May 2012, when she and the show's other stars signed two-year deals, taking them to the end of forthcoming 10th season.
Grey's Anatomy creator, Shonda Rhimes, who also conceived Oh's character, thanked the popular actress for her "collaboration on a character we both love so deeply".
"One of the best days of my life as a writer happened the day Sandra Oh walked in my door to audition and forever changed the course of Grey's Anatomy with her brilliant, nuanced portrayal of Cristina Yang," said Rhimes.
"This year is going to be bittersweet for us - we're both going to savour every moment of Cristina Yang, and then we're going to give her the exit she deserves. And when Sandra walks out of my door, Grey's Anatomy will once again be forever changed."
Oh told her co-stars about her decision on Tuesday, during a reading for the 200th episode.
It is expected that negotiations will take place shortly with the rest of the cast about their future on the show, which has picked up several industry awards since it began in 2005.
In a statement, a spokesperson for ABC said: "It's our intention to have Grey's on the air for many years to come, with as many of the original cast as possible."


Controversial plans to restore wetlands in the New Forest have been shelved after they were refused by planners.

The Forestry Commission scheme at Latchmore Brook aimed to recreate the meanders of a stream which had been diverted by Victorian engineers.
But campaigners claimed the work would cause "irreparable damage".
The commission said the scheme's sponsor, the New Forest Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) Scheme, had decided not to challenge the planning decision.
It said the HLS board had opted instead to focus funding on monitoring the brook, near Hyde, and on other projects within the forest.
A spokeswoman said the Forestry Commission was now revising its work programme.
She said: "We will continue to monitor Latchmore Brook, to measure changes during the remaining period of the HLS agreement because it's vital that will build knowledge of the changes at the site and use that to inform future management.
"We understand and respect the decision taken by the HLS Board not to appeal the decision and to focus their future funding on a range of projects that will build on the success of completed conservation and restoration work across the New Forest."
New Forest National Park Authority refused planning permission for the scheme in November, amid strong local opposition, despite it having the backing of the Environment Agency, Natural England and Historic England.
Residents argued the 96,000 tonnes of gravel needed for the restoration would spell "ecological disaster" for the area.
Following the refusal, the Forestry Commission said the "threatened area" now risked "falling into further decline".


Vanuatu - a string of more than 80 islands once known as the New Hebrides - achieved independence from France and Britain in 1980.

Most of the islands are inhabited; some have active volcanoes.
Vanuatu is mountainous and much of it is covered with tropical rainforests. Like most of the area, it is prone to earthquakes and tidal waves. In 2015 it was hit by Cyclone Pam which caused widespread damage.
Most of the people live in rural areas and practise subsistence agriculture.
Local traditions are strong. Women, for example, generally have lower social standing than men and have fewer educational opportunities.
The island of Pentecost is home to land diving, a precursor to bungee jumping, which is still practised.
Population 246,000
Area 12,190 sq km (4,707 sq miles)
Major languages Bislama, French, English
Major religions Christianity
Life expectancy 70 years (men), 74 years (women)
Currency vatu
President: Baldwin Lonsdale
Baldwin Lonsdale was chosen as president by Vanuatu's electoral college - comprising the 52 members of parliament and the heads of the six provincial governments - in September 2014.
He succeeded Iolu Abil when his five-year term in office expired.
He is a former senior civil servant and served as the secretary general of the Torba provincial government before becoming an Anglican priest.
The single TV channel on Vanuatu was established with the help of Radio France Overseas (RFO) and broadcasts in French and English.
Some key events in Vanuatu's history:
550BC - First inhabited by Melanesian people.
1606 - Explorer Pedro Fernandez de Quiros leads an expedition to the islands naming them Terra Austrialis del Espiritu Santo.
1774 - British explorer Captain Cook charts the islands calling them the New Hebrides.
1800s - Thousands of ni-Vanuatu are kidnapped and forced to work on sugar and cotton plantations in Fiji and Australia in a practice known as "blackbirding".
1906 - Britain and France make the country a Condominium, under joint administration.
1938 - Emergence of the John Frum cargo cult. Believers say goods owned by American and European visitors to the island are really meant for them but are intercepted by the foreigners. They believe that their ancestors will one day return with "cargo" for them. The British outlaw any mention of John Frum.
1956 - John Frum is recognised as a religion by the Anglo-French Condominium.
1980 - Independence.
2015 - Cyclone Pam causes widespread devastation.


High Street bakery Greggs has reported a rise in sales, helped by its healthier 'Balanced Choice' menu.

Total sales grew by 6% to £422m, with like-for-like sales up 3.8% in the first half of the year.
The company, which has 1,730 stores, did not comment on Brexit directly but said it was "alert to any change in consumer demand that may result from the current economic uncertainty".
Greggs said it had made an encouraging start to the second half of the year.
"In the first half of 2016 we delivered good like-for-like growth by reinforcing the freshness and value of our offer in line with changing trends in the food-on-the-go market," the statement said.
"We added to our 'Balanced Choice' range with sales growing strongly as more and more of our customers recognise the quality, range and value we offer in these healthier food choices."
Chief executive Roger Whiteside told the PA news agency that he was planning to introduce more new products later this year.
"There will be new soups and we're going to revamp our snack range, going own-label on crisps and introducing nuts and fruits packets. We'll also see the first gluten-free products launch in the second half of the year," he said.
The company is investing in refurbishing its stores - with 86 completed so far this year and plans for another 200 to be completed by the end of the year. It expects to open about 70 new shops this year.
Operating profit, excluding exceptional gains, rose 6.7% to £27.2m from a year earlier.
Pre-tax profits for the half-year were £25.4m, broadly unchanged from a year earlier as a result of costs related to the closure of three bakery sites.
In March, the company said it would close bakeries in Twickenham, Edinburgh and Sleaford.
Looking ahead, Greggs said it expected "increased inflationary pressure in wage costs as the 'national living wage' increases take effect".


The probable publication of classified parts of a 2002 congressional report into the 9/11 attacks will clear Saudi Arabia of any responsibility, CIA chief John Brennan has said.

Keeping 28 pages of the report secret has sparked speculation that the attack had received official Saudi support.
The classified pages are also central to a dispute over whether the families of 9/11 victims should be able to sue the Saudi government.
Saudi Arabia denies any involvement.
Fifteen out of the 19 hijackers in 2001 were Saudi citizens.
How strained are US-Saudi relations?
Former senator Bob Graham, who headed the Senate intelligence committee that compiled the classified report in 2002, has said that Saudi officials did provide assistance to the 9/11 hijackers.
But Mr Brennan said this was not the case.
"So these 28 pages I believe are going to come out and I think it's good that they come out. People shouldn't take them as evidence of Saudi complicity in the attacks," Mr Brennan said in an interview with Saudi-owned Arabiya TV.
Mr Brennan also described the 28-page section of the 2002 report as merely a "preliminary review".
"The 9/11 commission looked very thoroughly at these allegations of Saudi involvement... their conclusion was that there was no evidence to indicate that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually had supported the 9/11 attacks," he said.
In May, a bill to allow Americans to sue Saudi Arabia over the attacks, in which nearly 3,000 people died, was passed by the Senate and now moves to the House of Representatives.
Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has warned that the move could cause his government to withdraw US investments.
Mr Graham has said that the White House would decide whether to release the classified pages this month.


A holidaymaker has died after being rescued from the sea off the coast of Cornwall, police have said.

The 36-year-old, who had been visiting Polzeath with friends and family, was reported missing on Sunday morning.
An "extensive" air and sea search was launched at 10:00 GMT, and a lifeboat crew pulled her from the water later, police said.
She was airlifted to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, but confirmed dead on arrival.
More on the holidaymaker death, plus other news
Devon and Cornwall Police said the woman was from Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
Police described the death as a "tragic accident" and said enquiries were continuing into the circumstances.


Five scripts for the new series of Doctor Who have leaked online, seven weeks before the episodes are broadcast.

BBC Worldwide said it was investigating "a security issue around Doctor Who Series Eight where unfinished material has inadvertently been made public".
The statement urged fans not to distribute the spoiler material.
The series - which marks Peter Capaldi's debut as the Doctor - is due to begin on BBC One on 23 August.
Confirming the leak, BBC Worldwide, the corporation's global arm, said: "We deeply regret this and apologise to all the show's fans, the BBC and the cast and crew who have worked tirelessly making the series.
"We would like to make a plea to anyone who might have any of this material and spoilers associated with it not to share it with a wider audience so that everyone can enjoy the show as it should be seen when it launches.
"We know only too well that Doctor Who fans are the best in the world and we thank them for their help with this and their continued loyalty."
The leaked scripts are reported to have originated from a BBC Worldwide office in the US.
The first episode is due to have its premiere at a screening in Cardiff on 7 August, after which the show's stars and executive producer Steven Moffat will take it on a world tour leading up to the first TV broadcast.
The scripts, beginning with episode one, titled Deep Breath, are marked "private and confidential".
Last year, some US fans were sent DVDs containing the series finale three weeks before it had been broadcast.
In May 2011, Moffat criticised those "who call themselves fans" who revealed crucial plot lines ahead of transmission.
"You can imagine how much I hate them," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "I wish they could go and be fans of something else."


A shortage of HIV testing could undermine global efforts to diagnose and treat people with the infection, warn experts from the World Health Organization.

They looked at responses to annual surveys that the WHO had sent to 127 countries between 2012 and 2014 asking about capacity and usage of blood tests that check HIV status and health.
They found worrying gaps in provision.
They warn that United Nation targets for HIV could be missed as a result.
The targets say that by 2020, 90% of all people living with HIV should know their HIV status, 90% of those diagnosed should receive antiretroviral therapy and 90% of these treated patients should have "durable viral suppression" (a measure of effective treatment).
Laboratory testing is vital to meet and monitor these aims.
But Vincent Habiyambere and his colleagues say in the journal PLoS Medicine that some low and middle-income countries, including African countries where the HIV burden is high, are not yet geared up for the challenge.
The surveys were sent to:
• all 47 countries in the WHO African Region
• 33 countries in the WHO Region of the Americas
• all 21 countries in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region
• eight high-burden HIV countries in the WHO European Region
• all 11 countries in the WHO South-East Asia Region
• seven high-burden HIV countries in the WHO Western Pacific Region
Over the three survey years, 55 (43%) countries responded to all three surveys, 35 (28%) to two surveys, 25 (20%) to one survey, and nine (7%) responded to none of the three surveys.
Testing provision did improve over the years, but shortfalls remained in some parts of the world.
Reasons for the gaps in provision included lack of reagents, equipment not being installed or maintained properly and inadequate or absent staff training. In some laboratories, machines were not serviced regularly. In others, machines broke down and were not covered by contracts to be serviced or fixed.
Dr Habiyambere and his team say: "A national laboratory strategic plan to strengthen services must be developed, implemented, and monitored by governments and their national and international partners.
"The focus of the international community, to ensure optimal use of laboratory technologies, should be on those countries where interventions for scaling up access to HIV diagnostic technologies are most needed."
They acknowledge that they did not look at private sector testing and that some countries might rely more heavily on this than others.
In an accompanying editorial, HIV experts Peter Kilmarx and Raiva Simbi say the findings show some programmes may have been "overly focused" on buying equipment without planning for how it would be used and maintained.
In Zimbabwe, for example, only 5.6% of HIV patients on drug treatment in 2015 received regular blood checks to monitor their viral load - far fewer than the goal of 21%.
This was largely down to problems with resource mobilisation and specimen transport as well as equipment procurement, they say.
"Strong leadership, resources, planning, and management are needed to scale up laboratory services," they conclude.


Nicola Sturgeon has pointed to a fall in reading and writing skills among pupils as evidence that Scotland's education system is not good enough.

Writing in the Daily Record, the first minister also said too many deprived children were still being held back.
And she said it was her "sacred responsibility" to ensure every child was given the same chance to succeed.
The Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy recently said literacy standards in P4, P7 and S2 had fallen.
Last year, the survey flagged up a similar drop in numeracy standards.
The Scottish government has come under pressure from opposition parties over the issue in recent weeks.
Ms Sturgeon said ensuring that the Scottish education system becomes, genuinely, one of the best in the world would become the "driving and defining priority" of her government.
She wrote: "So how are we doing as a country when it comes to education? In seeking to answer that question openly and honestly - as we must do if we are to make real improvements - I disagree with extreme opinions at both ends of the spectrum.
"Those who say Scottish education is failing badly are wrong. But let me be clear - those who say it is good enough are wrong, too."
Fewer children are leaving school with no qualifications and more are leaving with several Highers, including from deprived areas, she said.
"These figures are still not good enough," Ms Sturgeon added.
"Similarly, while more youngsters from our least well-off communities are now going to university, the numbers are still far too low.
"Recent evidence suggests standards of literacy and numeracy in our schools are falling. That is unacceptable."
Ms Sturgeon said she was prepared to make "tough decisions" to improve things, and acknowledged that tackling the problems would "take us well beyond education. But education is vital".
The Scottish Liberal Democrats have previously urged Ms Sturgeon to introduce the "pupil premium" in Scotland similar to the additional funding given by the UK government to schools in England to raise attainment among disadvantaged students.
Responding to Ms Sturgeon's article, Scottish Lib Dem education spokesman Liam McArthur said: "The situation in Scottish schools is happening on the SNP's watch because they took their eye off the ball to focus all their attention on the referendum.
"The danger is that the SNP are now moving too slow to put this right.
"Liberal Democrats have said the top priority should be to give extra help to children from disadvantaged backgrounds to help them get on and achieve their potential. That approach has worked well in England and ends up helping all children in the classroom."
During First Minister's Questions at Holyrood last week, Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said there was a need for a "new system of primary testing" such as there is in Denmark and Ontario, "so that we all can see which schools need help and which schools are leading the way".
Ms Davidson said: "After eight years of this government, until your child is 14 years old, you have no clear idea how good their education is in comparison to the rest of the country."
Scottish Labour has previously accused the Scottish government of a "complacent" approach to education, and has called for more to be done to help pupils from deprived areas.
Announcing her intention to stand for the Scottish Labour leadership last week, Kezia Dugdale said transforming Scotland's education system to make it fairer for all would be her key priority.


Councils are warning people not to buy mattresses from door-to-door sellers.

The Local Government Association - which represents councils in England and Wales - said some "scam traders" were selling dirty mattresses that had been thrown away.
Others were importing them without the proper safety certificates. The mattresses are then repackaged - often in branded wrapping.
Some sellers pretend a local hotel is selling them after ordering too many.
Councils across England have dealt with mis-sold mattresses:
Simon Blackburn, the chairman of the LGA's safer and stronger communities board, said: "These fly-by-night sellers don't care about the risks these mattresses pose, they just want to make a quick buck and leave you with phoney details so they can't be traced.
"These mattresses may be described as memory foam but are carefully wrapped so you have no idea what you are buying.
"They generally fail fire safety tests and are often worn-out, dirty and unhygienic items destined for the tip.
"Anyone offered a cheap mattress on their doorstep should not buy one."


More than 1,000 people have taken part in a Pilates class at the place where its German creator was interned on the Isle of Man in World War One.

Joseph Pilates dedicated his life to refining the system of physical exercises he created whilst detained at the Knockaloe camp near Peel.
Organisers said Pilates' methodology had "benefited millions worldwide".
Pilates spent about three and a half years interned at the camp, which was designed to hold about 23,000 people.
The Knockaloe camp was divided into 23 compounds, each designed to hold 1,020 internees.
Organisers recreated that figure for the one-off 45-minute class.
A spokeswoman said the class had been inspired by seeing a postcard depicting internees putting on a Pilates display, just 15 days after he arrival at the Knockloe camp.
During his time in the camp it is believed the young Pilates worked in the camp's hospitals and was highly respected.
He spent his time developing a comprehensive system of physical exercise which he called "Contrology".
Mo Sherring, of the Isle of Man Pilates Studio, said it is "not just a series of exercises" but a "conceptual approach to movement".
Pilates invented his own unique apparatus formed from the springs from his dormitory bed.
He also studied the movement of animals.
After the war he dedicated his life to refining his methods which are still used widely across the world.


A former Newport head teacher accused of letting staff manipulate national tests is the victim of people who feel aggrieved, a hearing was told.

Samantha Yeoman, who denies unacceptable professional conduct, claims she did not act dishonestly, a General Teaching Council for Wales (GTCW) panel heard on Wednesday.
She quit as head teacher at Rogerstone Primary School in 2014.
The GTCW panel has retired to consider its verdict.
Mrs Yeoman has denied unacceptable professional conduct by allowing staff to manipulate the 2013 National Reading and Numeracy Test results to enable pupils to get better grades.
Her statement said she accepts that staff were allowed to highlight incorrect answers and pupils were allowed to change them but said this was "against her instructions and... out of her control".
In his closing argument, Mrs Yeoman's representative Gwylim Roberts-Harry said Mrs Yeoman's actions "don't amount to dishonesty" and the case was "based on witnesses who feel aggrieved by the way Samantha Yeoman had treated them in the past".
He told the panel that the tasks concerning the administration of the tests were delegated to the then deputy head teacher Wayne Millard.
Her statement said teachers were allowed to see the test papers "in order to ensure children had access and were not disadvantaged".


A Bangor University student threatened with deportation has returned to north Wales.

Sri Lankan Shiromini Satkunarajah, 20, had been taken to a detention centre after being refused asylum.
After a National Union of Students (NUS) petition backing her bid to stay attracted more 167,000 signatures, she was told she could remain in the UK.
She said there are still "a lot of uncertainties", but she wanted to get back to "lectures and normal life".
Miss Satkunarajah, who was born in Sri Lanka but has lived in the UK for eight years, is due to finish her electrical engineering degree this summer.
But she was arrested and taken to Yarls' Wood Detention Centre in Bedfordshire to await deportation with her mother on Tuesday.
Miss Satkunarajah has only three months left before graduating.
Arfon MP Hywel Williams raised a Point of Order in the House of Commons about her plight, and Bangor's vice chancellor wrote to the Home Office.
Miss Satkunarajah said she was "particularly thankful" to Mr Williams for "everything he's done".
She added: "Thanks to everyone who signed the petition and shared it and helped me in whatever way they could. Thanks to those involved in making the decision to defer my deportation.
"I am now delighted to be back at Bangor University and I very much hope I can complete my course.
"I wish to get back to my lectures and normal life as soon as possible to increase my chances of getting a first-class degree."
She said being detained came as a "big shock" and described the experience as "quite traumatic."
"There are still a lot of uncertainties, and that is worrying for me and my family, but now I want to concentrate on my studies."
Bangor University vice-chancellor Prof John Hughes said he is "delighted" Miss Satkunarajah has now returned to Bangor and that "very much hoped she will be allowed to remain to complete her degree".


It's seven years since Royal Bank of Scotland published annual results with a headline loss of more than £24bn.

There was a three-to-five year plan put in place to turn it around, with the non-core fifth of the bank to be axed.
Seven years later, and the colour of the ink remains the same, the tale of woe a bit like Groundhog Day. The eighth successive loss is smaller, but it's still a whopper and still in the billions - very nearly £2bn, to be more precise.
The recovery plan has stretched to 10 years. And while Lloyds Banking Group has dug itself out of its nightmare, and most of its government shareholding, RBS is far behind in that process, still 73% Treasury-owned with no dividends payable yet.
Even though much of the pain had been signalled, the 2015 results triggered a 7% fall in the share price (against a rising market on Friday), to 226p. That's less than half the amount the taxpayer paid for them in 2008 and 2009.
The Lloyds results on Thursday showed the chief executive receiving pay and bonuses totalling £8.8m for last year, while at RBS, Ross McEwan felt obliged to forego some bonus and give another part to charity. Humility remains a trapping of his office.
The underlying activities of the bank aren't that bad, for instance in the UK mortgage market, and this remains the biggest player in lending to Britain's businesses.
But that's a bit like saying the eurozone economy has been in great shape, apart from all its problems.
Payment Protection Insurance, for instance: on this score, RBS is nowhere near the scale of Lloyds' problems, but the Royal has had to find another £600m for last year, taking its total cost to £4.3bn.
Having exited its overseas private wealth bank, to focus on Coutts and Adam & Co in Britain, it is taking a £500m impairment charge on that division.
An enormous amount has been set aside by RBS for unresolved US litigation over its pre-crash handling of toxic financial products pre-crash.
It was always going to be time-consuming and expensive to unravel its American problems (BP knows the feeling, having reached $55bn in costs for the Deepwater Horizon explosion and spill).
But this is not all about unwinding the spectacular over-reach of the pre-crash Fred Goodwin era.
The rigging of markets has happened since then, and the litigation risks (which every company ought to declare) make for quite a read. So to recap, from page 338 and 390 of a stable-door-stopping 424-page annual report:
Scanning the litigation horizon, apart from the claims on mis-selling mortgage-backed securities, there are:
Returning to the core area of banking in Britain, RBS can see "headwinds" (a favourite word of bankers) from general uncertainty about the world economy, as it affects the bank's customers.
So growth in target areas may slow up, while big turnaround costs still hang heavy. The cost of restructuring RBS between 2015 and 2019 is put at £5bn, with £1.5bn losses as it disposes of assets.
This year is expected to see more than £1bn of the restructuring costs (and don't be surprised if that involves quite a lot of jobs), as it tries to match outlays with its much diminished operations. The ratio doesn't currently look good by industry standards. RBS is also on track for about £1bn of those disposal costs.
The bank is having a tough time slewing off Williams & Glyn's, the retail and business arm it has carved out with a view to a float, under instruction from the European Commission. Untangling the governance and technical IT end of this has been causing difficulties for years.
The sale is now being put back further, towards the end of next year. Total cost of the process so far: £1.2bn.
That's while a lot of management time is taken up with ring-fencing the bank, as required by government and regulators by 2019, to protect the core parts from the risky ones.
You can see, from this, why chief executive Ross McEwan longs to contract the Royal Bank's reach, so that it behaves like a normal bank, focused on the UK and Ireland, and loved by its customers.
On that front, he has put an increased emphasis on customer satisfaction, based on two questions put to customers: would you recommend RBS, and do you trust it to do the right things?
According to the annual report, those numbers are going in the right direction. But it remains clear that the NatWest brand is much less sullied in England and Wales than RBS is in Scotland.
Retail and business customers of RBS are still, on balance, minded not to recommend it. Both those brands are far ahead of Ulster Bank in Ireland.
No doubt that is because companies with financial difficulties are not too happy when the RBS "relationship manager" calls with bad news.
While loan impairments in the property sector have seen a marked rise in the past year, quite a few of the companies getting a chilly reception from RBS seem to have been in the oil and gas sector.
The annual report discloses that RBS has cut sharply back on exposure to resource-based companies, with 70% less lending to oil and gas firms. Environmental campaigners have been pushing for that over several years.
But what is also striking is a change in tone around this year's results.
For years, the humility has come with a promise to provide a bedrock of lending support for the British economy. As the British public are majority shareholders, those interests have been aligned.
But with a sale of that stake afoot (eventually), there's a bit less of that from Ross McEwan.
Rather than portraying the Royal Bank as a sort of public service utility, divisions of RBS are being focused on higher value customers. That's about better return on capital and lower risk, which is the language shareholders like to hear.
Senior bank figures talk rather less patiently these days about corporate customers that fail to understand the products they're buying, and about retail customers who fail to protect their private data.
Maybe being somewhat more ruthless, and a bit less humble, seems to be part of that process of normalisation.


World points race champion Jon Dibben has had surgery on a fractured elbow but British Cycling says his Olympic ambitions "remain unaffected".

Media playback is not supported on this device
Dibben, 22, is a challenger to Mark Cavendish for the six-discipline omnium event at the Games, in Rio in August.
According to British Cycling, Dibben damaged his left elbow during the ZLM Roompot tour at the weekend.
Cavendish was sixth in the omnium at the World Championships but won the madison with Sir Bradley Wiggins.
Whoever is selected in the omnium will be the fifth rider for the four-man, 4km team pursuit and must be able to slot into a squad seeking Olympic gold.
Cavendish, who has won 26 stages on the Tour de France stage, has yet to win an Olympic medal.
He was ninth in the madison with Wiggins in Beijing in 2008 and 29th in the road race on the opening day of London 2012.
