Rules making it harder to call strikes in public services will be scrapped in Wales under Welsh Government plans.

Ministers have published a bill to repeal parts of the UK government's Trade Union Act of 2016.
Welsh Labour has pledged to ditch restrictions on industrial action in the NHS, the fire service, schools and other devolved services.
The UK government said people had "a right to expect protections from undemocratic strike action".
One key restriction in the Westminster law is to allow strikes only if they are backed by 40% of a union's members in a ballot.
Welsh ministers have denied seeking to satisfy Labour's trade union funders, saying public sector employers supported the plans.
The Welsh Government insisted the assembly has the power needed to change the law on taking industrial action, despite earlier rows with the UK government.
The Welsh bill will also overturn changes to the time allowed for union officials to spend on union work, and to the way union members pay their subscriptions.
But it will not overturn a new threshold for turnout in ballots, which requires half of union members to cast a vote before industrial action can take place.
Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford told BBC Wales it was "absolutely not the case" that Labour was acting in the interest of unions, rather than the public.
"Employers in our public services are in support of the way we are bringing this bill forward," he said.
"They see that this is the right way to do things for Wales as well."
He added: "Of course the unions have a legitimate interest in this but the employers and the assembly were both in support of the way we are doing things as well."
Before the 2016 assembly election, most AMs voted against applying the Trade Union Act to Wales, with only the Conservatives voting in favour.
The UK and Welsh governments disagreed over whether the assembly's permission was needed before the new rules applied to workers in Wales.
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said: "These proposals will do nothing to improve public services in Wales - this is just the union barons calling in favours in return for bankrolling the Labour Party.
"Across Wales, workers are getting sick and tired of being held to ransom by union general secretaries, and they won't be impressed if this proposed bill leads Wales further down the road towards regional pay scales."
Mark Reckless, UKIP AM for South Wales East, told BBC Radio Wales that said he supported the UK legislation.
"It strikes me that the union paymasters of Labour are using taxpayers' money to essentially fund themselves," he said on Good Morning Wales.
"Trade unions [in] the public sector pay the Labour party money, the Labour party then ensures that money from the NHS goes to pay running the unions in that workplace.
"That is wrong."
Dominic MacAskill, head of local government in Wales for Unison, told the programme his union considered the Westminster act as "a top-down politicised attack on trade unions".
"It's not just the right to take industrial action, its also looking to restrict the ability for trade unions to represent their members in the workplace," he said.
Mr MacAskill said the act was "going back to the old 80s and 90s approach to trade unions".
"That's not how we work in Wales," he added, saying there was a "progressive consensus" with Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats also opposed to the UK legislation.
The Welsh Local Government Association's employment spokesman, Councillor Peter Rees, welcomed the proposal, saying: "We respect the work of trades unions and the rights of their members.
"We want to continue to engage with them constructively to support and sustain local government services in Wales."
The UK government said: "We will examine the Welsh Assembly's proposed legislation when it is introduced but we remain clear that decisions over industrial relations law is a matter for UK government.
"Ordinary working people have a right to expect protections from undemocratic strike action and the Trade Union Act will do just that.
"The assembly will have to explain to the Welsh public why it wants to repeal these."


Southend survived a Bolton Wanderers onslaught to come away from the League One leaders with a point.

Harry Kyprianou's early goal gave the visitors the lead as he fired John White's deep cross into the top corner.
Bolton put Southend under pressure for long periods, but Gary Madine, debutant Keshi Anderson, Jay Spearing and Liam Trotter all missed good chances.
Anderson bundled in an equaliser soon after half-time after putting goalkeeper Ted Smith under pressure.
Bolton stay top of the table by two points while Southend are a point above the relegation zone.
Wanderers had three efforts cleared off the line by Southend in the first half as they tried to respond to the visitors' opening goal.
After the break Southend's Ted Smith saved well from a Jamie Proctor header and palmed over an excellent Spearing free-kick, while Ryan Leonard saved Smith after the goalkeeper made a mistake from a Dean Moxey long throw.
Southend had a chance to win it 18 minutes from full-time, but David Mooney's attempt was stopped by Mark Howard after he cut out a weak back-pass from David Wheater.
The visitors had manager Phil Brown sent to the stands three minutes from the end for reacting angrily after appealing for a foul on Leonard.

Heads in the south London borough of Sutton have enlisted parents in a bid to fight budget cuts.

Urging parents to email MPs and councillors, the heads told them: "They are not listening to us and we hope instead they might listen to you."
The cuts mean fewer teachers, larger classes, less choice, less support and fewer opportunities, says a statement on local secondary school websites.
The government says school budgets are at their highest level ever.
But, the 16 secondary head teachers say every secondary school in the borough faces cuts to staffing and resources as budgets fail to keep pace with costs.
"Will you help protect your child's education?" the statement asks parents.
It says school budgets have been cut by 8-10% over the last few years "as unfunded pay rises, increased pension and national insurance costs and 'taxes' such as the Apprenticeship Levy have meant schools have less money".
It adds: "This means cuts in other areas of the school to fund these extra costs. The future looks bleak."
One head teacher told the BBC that government plans to resolve funding inconsistencies between local authority areas through a new National Funding Formula for schools is "a diversionary tactic".
And even though Sutton is due to benefit under the new formula "all it will do is partially offset" wider funding problems, said the head, who asked not to be identified.
The move is the latest in a series of campaigns by heads.
West Sussex heads wrote to MPs asking where to make cuts - whether through laying off teachers, reducing school hours or closing counselling services.
Heads in Cheshire warned of a four-day week, the scrapping of some subjects and the loss of support staff.
And North Somerset heads asked Theresa May to reconsider "retrograde" plans for new grammar schools.
The Sutton heads, some of whom run very high performing schools, say they "are close to crisis".
They warn that they face a double budget squeeze from both central and local government, with the local council proposing to claw back 0.5% of basic school funding from September to meet other costs.
"Head teachers are not known for their militancy," the statement continues.
Parents are asked to seek assurances that:
Late last year the National Audit Office said state schools in England would have to reduce spending by £3bn by 2019-20.
The BBC has approached both Sutton Council and the Department for Education for responses.
A Sutton Council spokesman said no-one was available for comment.
The Department for Education maintains that school funding is at record levels - £40bn per year in 2016-17, including £2.5bn in pupil premium payments supporting disadvantaged children.
The department also argues that the new funding formula will provide a much fairer basis for allocating funds to schools and will give head teachers more certainty over their future budgets and long-term planning.


A former superintendent who served at Hillsborough has apologised after discovering part of the evidence he gave to the inquests was incorrect.

Roger Marshall testified on 2 and 8 October that he policed 27,500 fans at a rugby league match at the ground on 26 December 1989 with 12 officers.
The court was told he was not at the tie and it was not held in Sheffield.
In a statement read to the jury, Mr Marshall offered "an unreserved apology for misleading the court".
Ninety-six fans died following a crush at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at the Sheffield ground on 15 April 1989.
Giving evidence on 2 October, the jury heard Mr Marshall explain he was match commander for a rugby league match between Wigan and St Helens on Boxing Day 1989, which he said was held at Hillsborough.
Mr Marshall compared that match with the FA Cup semi-final, in which 801 police officer were on duty - 38% of the force's manpower at the time.
"It might interest you to know that on Boxing Day the same year Wigan and St Helens played at Hillsborough [and] 27,500 people came to that game," he said.
"Do you know, I policed that game, I policed it with 12 policemen."
On 8 October, he was asked how he had policed that game with only 12 officers with "no public order problems".
The former superintendent said: "It is a family game, family people, no problem."
He also remarked how "it can't be said of rugby league that it is some upper middle-class dilettante sport" and that "just as with some football supporters" those who go to watch rugby league "like a beer as well".
The 1989 Boxing Day game between Wigan and St Helens actually took place in Greater Manchester - at Wigan's then home ground, Central Park.
In a statement read to the court on Tuesday, Mr Marshall said: "It has been brought to my attention that... I gave erroneous evidence in that: 1. I did not police the Wigan-St Helens game on 26 December 1989 and 2. That game was not played at Hillsborough.
"I offer my unreserved apology for misleading the court. I am embarrassed and distressed that I made this mistake."
The inquests, being held in Warrington, have now adjourned until 3 November.

Striker Karim Benzema will be eligible to play for France at Euro 2016 after some legal restrictions were lifted.

Benzema is being investigated for his part in an alleged plot to blackmail France team-mate Mathieu Valbuena.
The Real Madrid player - who denies wrongdoing - was not allowed to contact Valbuena, meaning they could not be in the same squad, but an appeals court has partially lifted some restrictions.
However Benzema, who is injured, was suspended from France duty in December.
That ban was due to stand until the end of court proceedings.
An investigating judge last month lifted the order keeping Benzema and Lyon playmaker Valbuena apart, but the prosecutor appealed. That was dismissed on Friday.
Benzema's lawyer, Sylvain Cormier, described the decision as "a first step".
The 28-year-old forward faces preliminary charges of conspiracy to blackmail relating to an extortion scam over a sex tape involving Valbuena.
If found guilty, he could face a minimum of five years in prison.
According to French media, Benzema mentioned a sex tape to Valbuena, 31, during a national team training session at Clairefontaine on 5 October.
Benzema told police he was advising a friend about what to do in a difficult situation.
But he could face charges for complicity in attempted blackmail and participation in a criminal conspiracy.


More than a century after she crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico into the US, Eulalia Garcia has become an American citizen at the age of 101.

"I feel really good about what I have accomplished - at my age and with my health," she said.
Ms Garcia, who entered the US on 12 October 1909, became a citizen on the 101st anniversary of her arrival.
She said the first thing she wanted to do as an American was vote in the mid-term elections on 2 November.
"Sure, I do - for the best [candidate]," Ms Garcia said.
The naturalisation ceremony took place on Tuesday in a federal courthouse in Brownsville in the US state of Texas, where Ms Garcia has lived almost all her life.
She now joins an elite list of only 15 immigrants over 100 years of age who have been naturalised as citizens, according to the US Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Born in the Mexican city of Monterrey, she has outlived two husbands, her two sons and an endless set of rules and US immigration laws.
She came to Texas in the arms of her mother, Ilaria Mendoza, when she was only six months old.
At that time, it was normal for both Mexicans and Americans to travel across the border in either direction without being forced to show documentation.
Ms Garcia's single mother made a living washing clothes - and together they lived a quiet life in Brownsville.
In 1940, the US Congress passed the Alien Registration Act, or Smith Act, which required all non-citizens already in the country to register with the government.
She registered, along with millions of other immigrants, and received a Certificate of Lawful Entry card, issued to her on 4 April 1941.
With the government-issued card in hand, she crossed the border to visit family and friends for decades without a problem.
The card has now also made it possible for Ms Garcia to become a US citizen.
The US Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) commended her efforts.
"Just the fact that at the age of 101, this lady has wanted to become a citizen is an honour for us," USCIS spokesperson Marilu Cabrera said.
'Love for life'
The centenarian's niece, Yolanda Ovalle, who helped her aunt through the application process and in her preparations for the citizenship exam, praised the 101-year-old for her strong will and admirable character.
"This is a very important day for all of us because she deserved to become a citizen. She has always been such a good person," Ms Ovalle said.
"She answered every question, that's why she passed," she added, referring to the US Civics tests given by immigration officials.
"I have never seen someone with her age that doesn't give up on life. She wants to keep on living. She loves her life and is the type of person that never has any problems with anybody."


Artwork that celebrates Bridlington's role in protecting ships from North Sea storms has been unveiled in the town.

Called the Bay of Refuge, it features a transparency of an oil painting by J T Allerston set into a metal frame.
It was commissioned to show how the resort's unique geography helped shelter passing vessels in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The artwork at Garrison Square forms part of trail exploring the area's maritime history.
Steve Carvill, who created the artwork, said it had been placed at such a height to allow people to match up the horizon from the painting with the present day horizon.
He said: "It means that even on a hot summer's day, they will be able to see a storm at sea."


The Catholic Church is reviewing how it dealt with the transfer of a priest who was found to have indecent videos of teenage boys.

Anthony McSweeney, 68, was last month jailed after he was found guilty of indecent assault between 1979 and 1981.
In 1998, he was found to have pornographic videos while at St Peter's Catholic Church in Essex.
Bishop of East Anglia Alan Hopes is reviewing how McSweeney was allowed to move to St George's, Norwich.
Southwark Crown Court heard how McSweeney and his friend John Stingemore, who died before the trial, assaulted a 15-year-old boy.
McSweeney was also found guilty of making indecent images of children.
The court had heard how a cleaner at St Peter's Catholic Church found sex toys, truncheons and indecent videos in McSweeney's possession.
He was threatened with being "banished" from the priesthood, the court heard, but moved to a new parish six months later.
Bishop Hopes said "questions have been raised" about how the Catholic Church dealt with McSweeney after the items were found.
"This incident was, at the time, referred to the police who decided not to investigate," he said.
"It was, therefore, regarded by the Church as a matter of clergy discipline and dealt with accordingly.
"At that time no allegations of child abuse had been made against Father McSweeney, and no concerns had been raised in that regard."
He said the matter was now being reviewed.


A care service for vulnerable people in the Borders has been heavily criticised by inspectors.

The Care Inspectorate said that failings of Community Integrated Care (CIC) could be "life threatening".
It found that clients missed out on vital visits as a result of staffing problems at its office in Duns.
It also discovered that in some cases carers were not aware of the needs of individual service users.
CIC provides housing support and care at home for people living Berwickshire with mental and physical disabilities.
People who needed help with medication or preparing a meal were among those who missed visits, it found.
The report stated: "Due to lack of information for the support staff, we heard of many examples where staff arrive at a service user's home to support them, not knowing what care and support that person required."
It added: "Missed and late visits, staff not being aware of individual's care needs and inconsistency in care staff has the potential to result in service user's health and wellbeing needs not being met.
"At worst this could be life threatening for vulnerable service users, at least it causes distress and anxiety."
Inspectors initially demanded improvements from CIC last September, following a highly critical report.
They returned in January to find the problems had increased.
Of seven aspects of the service they inspected, four were found to be "unsatisfactory". The rest were "adequate".
The report said the service has received two formal complaints since the earlier report.
The Care Inspectorate has also received complaints from service users and carers regarding missed visits.


At least four people have been killed in an explosion in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore.

According to initial reports, a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a hotel near the police district in Lahore's Qila Gujjar Singh area.
Several vehicles parked near the site of the blast caught fire and gunshots could be heard from within the police district.
A splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban said it carried out the attack.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar [The Party of Freedom Fighters], which split from the Pakistani Taliban in August, is a territorial group of militants from Pakistan's Mohmand tribal region headed by Omar Khalid Khorasani, says the BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar claimed the attack was in response to the recent executions of some of the group's members by the Pakistani government.
The group is understood to have carried out several previous attacks on Pakistani targets, including the beheading of 23 paramilitary soldiers in February 2014.
Lahore city police chief Captain Mohammad Ameen Wains said Tuesday's attack appeared to have been caused by a suicide bomber who had intended to blow himself up inside Lahore's police headquarters but had "blasted himself prematurely".
He said several other people had been injured and five or six vehicles damaged.
The shots heard nearby were fired by security personnel following the blast, the Dawn website reported.
Lahore is one of Pakistan's most liberal cities and has seen relatively few attacks in recent years.
Pakistan has suffered two major militant attacks in the last month.
At least 60 people were killed in an attack on a Shia mosque on 30 January in the southern province of Sindh, and a Taliban attack on a Shia mosque in the city of Peshawar on last Friday killed 20.


Tour operator TUI was not made aware of security risks prior to the 2015 attack at a Tunisian hotel where 30 Britons were killed, an inquest has been told.

A TUI director said there had been no reference to risk in Tunisian resorts in its risk registers before the attack in Sousse in which 38 people died.
But a lawyer for the victims' families said a security audit before the attack in June 2015 could have saved lives.
The attack was the deadliest on Britons since the 7 July 2005 London bombings.
Families of Britons killed in the attack received an apology after they had to sit through "distressing" evidence with no warning during the inquest at London's Royal Courts of Justice.
Islamist gunman Seifeddine Rezgui killed 38 people at the five-star Riu Imperial Marhaba on 26 June 2015. He was shot dead by police about an hour after the attack began.
The inquest heard from Jacqueline Reynolds, a director of risk and compliance for TUI, that the company did not carry out frequent security risk assessments on resorts or hotels before the attack.
TUI appointed security consultancy company Covenant to carry out an audit in the resort in July 2015, but this excluded the Riu Imperial Marhaba hotel, where the attack had just taken place.
The inquest heard Covenant, which did work for TUI in Egypt, had previously suggested it would be "worthwhile" to discuss Tunisia following the attack at the Bardo National Museum in Tunis in March 2015.
But the firm's regional director for the West Mediterranean, Ian Chapman, said in his statement that he did not arrange a meeting with the consultancy.
Covenant's briefing note after its audit in July said that staff's understanding was considered to be "weak".
Andrew Ritchie, counsel for the families of the victims, said TUI had carried out health and safety checks at hotels using a guidebook produced by Abta, but the only section they did not carry out was that on security.
He put it to Ms Reynolds that had TUI instigated the security audit after the Bardo attack it would have had 11 weeks to make changes.
He said the company "might have saved quite a few lives by having those things in place".
He also said TUI should have audited security after the Foreign Office advised there was a high risk of terror activity after Bardo.
Ms Reynolds disagreed, saying the company had been told on "numerous occasions" that the advice would not be changing. She added that security was not part of the company's safety audits because conditions and circumstances were "variable".
But she agreed with Mr Ritchie's summary that TUI "relied on hotels and local authorities" regarding these matters.
The inquest heard a statement from a security guard at the hotel that security forces did not arrive at the hotel until 12:10 to 12:15, after the gunman had already left the hotel.
He said he first saw people fleeing because of the attack at 11:40.
Another security guard said he heard the sound of gunfire at 11:45 and that security forces did not manage to intervene.
The head of the guard team said his guards were "not equipped with any means whatsoever to repel any sort of attack".
The inquest previously heard that UK officials had been told of security concerns but decided against discouraging all travel to Tunisia.
It also heard a report by a UK embassy official in January that said there was "little in the way of effective security" to protect from an attack from the beach.
Mehrez Saadi, the former manager of the hotel where the attack took place, previously told the hearing that just four unarmed, untrained security guards had been protecting the 631 guests.
He also said the CCTV camera at the front entrance had not been working on the day of the attack.
The apology made to victims' families related to a witness statement of Camilla Bekkevold, resort team manager of travel company TUI, which included a first-hand account of the day of the attack in which she mentioned seeing bodies and referred to possessions such as a sun hat covered in blood.
Samantha Leek QC, counsel to the inquest, said: "Some of the families in court yesterday were understandably upset during the course of the reading of Camilla Bekkevold's statement.
"I apologise that we had not warned that that potentially distressing material was coming."
Over the next seven weeks, the inquest will examine whether the UK government and travel firms failed in their responsibility to protect British tourists.
The government has applied for some details to be kept private because of national security concerns.


A senior nurse found to have concealed the true temperature of Ebola survivor Pauline Cafferkey has been suspended for two months.

A disciplinary panel said Donna Wood's dishonesty was "very serious, but not premeditated".
Mrs Wood and Ms Cafferkey were among volunteers returning from fighting Ebola in Sierra Leone in December 2014 when they were screened.
Ms Cafferkey became ill with the virus shortly afterwards .
Ms Cafferkey's high temperature, recorded at Heathrow Airport on 28 December 2014, should have triggered concerns that she was infected with the deadly virus.
But a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) panel found Mrs Wood suggested a lower temperature be recorded on Ms Cafferkey's form so they could pass through the screening process at passport control more quickly.
It concluded that Mrs Wood was guilty of misconduct because she did not raise the alarm over Ms Cafferkey's condition and, as a result, her fitness to practise was impaired.
The panel could have struck off Mrs Wood, who was a senior sister at a Stoke-on-Trent hospital, but it said that would be disproportionate and not serve the public interest.
It added that Mrs Wood's behaviour was unlikely to be repeated and a longer period of suspension would unduly damage her career.
She had almost 30 years of unblemished service as a nurse.
In September, the NMC cleared Ms Cafferkey of misconduct over claims she had hidden her infection, after a panel ruled that her judgement had been impaired by her illness.
When a team of NHS volunteers, including Mrs Wood and Ms Cafferkey, arrived back at Heathrow in 2014, they were asked to take each other's temperatures as part of a screening programme set up by Public Health England.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council panel found that Mrs Wood was aware that Ms Cafferkey's temperature, which had been measured twice at 38.2C and 38.3C, was raised and was above the threshold of 37.5C, which would have alerted officials to a potential warning sign for Ebola.
But when it came to writing down Ms Cafferkey's temperature, Mrs Wood was found to have said "let's put it down as 37.2 and get out of here and sort it out later".
Dr Martin Deahl, a consultant psychiatrist who travelled out to Sierra Leone with Mrs Wood as an NHS volunteer, told the BBC that when they all arrived back at Heathrow, the situation was "utterly chaotic and disorganised".
"We came back utterly exhausted, completely stressed out.
"The fact that we had to take each other's temperatures - that should simply have not happened."
He said Public Health England should have looked after them better.
"I think there should have been officials from Public Health England to do these checks themselves and satisfy themselves that we were all healthy."
He added: "I can't help but think that part of what's happened subsequently is just scapegoating, and trying to deflect blame on to individuals."
He also said Mrs Wood's experience would make it less likely that people would come forward and volunteer to fight diseases in the future.
Prof Paul Cosford, director of health protection and medical director at Public Health England, rejected any suggestion that the screening was disorganised.
He said: "It was busy at Heathrow but simply wrong to allege that it was chaotic.
"We screened thousands of returners from countries most at risk of Ebola and did so with efficiency and courtesy throughout."
He said PHE was grateful to all the volunteers who contributed, at great personal risk, to fighting the Ebola virus during the outbreak in West Africa.


Cardiff Blues and Wales prop Gethin Jenkins is close to a return to action after tearing a bicep in December.

Blues coach Danny Wilson says the the 36-year-old is making good progress, after setting himself the target or a post-Six Nations return.
Jenkins missed all of the tournament for Wales but could be back this week.
"We are hoping if he ticks the relevant physio and conditioning boxes you'll see him back in a Blues shirt in the next couple of weeks," said Wilson.
"He's going well. He's making good progress now."
Jenkins is unlikely to start Blues' Pro12 trip to Leinster on Saturday, 25 March, but is likely to figure in the European Challenge Cup quarter-final at Gloucester on Saturday, 1 April, if medical tests go well.
The injury mean the 36-year-old loose-head prop has been unable to press claims for a place on the 2017 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand.
He toured there with the Lions in 2005 and again in South Africa four years later. Jenkins had to leave the 2013 Lions tour to Australia without playing a game because of injury.
Returning to action before the season ends would enhance his chances of playing some part down under, even if it is on Wales' summer trip that includes Tests against Samoa and Tonga.
Wilson continued: "Gethin being Gethin, he was keen to get back as quickly as he possibly could and he set himself some very big targets which he worked extremely hard to get to.
"He was probably a week or two off."
Blues lie eighth in the Pro12 table, nine points behind sixth-place Glasgow.
Wilson admits, due to his side's recent form, Blues are now very much an outside bet for a top six finish that would automatically send them into the top tier European Champions Cup next season.
"It's a big ask now," Wilson added.
"We've left ourselves a fair bit to do to get into the top six, but there's still mathematically the opportunity and we've got some big games ahead of us."
Qualification for the Champions Cup is also possible via end-of-season play-offs involving French and English clubs
Wilson added: "A play-off spot gives us the opportunity to make Champions Cup next year."


Nico Rosberg will keep pole position for the Hungarian Grand Prix following an investigation into his conduct in qualifying.

Race stewards ruled after studying data from the car that the German slowed sufficiently for yellow flags waved to indicate a car stationary on the track.
Rosberg's Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton lost pole because he slowed after McLaren's Fernando Alonso spun.
Red Bull's cars also keep their grid places after a separate investigation.
Rosberg was running behind Hamilton and slowed only fractionally during the incident in the closing seconds of a rain-hit qualifying.
Stewards did not announce they were investigating the incident until 19:16 local time - more than three hours after qualifying finished.
But they subsequently decided that he had "reduced speed sufficiently into Turn Eight".
There was subsequently an investigation into whether the grid should be changed because, in the hectic conditions of a wet first qualifying session that featured three crashes and four red flags, half the field did not set times within 107% of the fastest lap in that session.
According to article 35.1 of the sporting regulations, any car that does not manage this will not be allowed to start. Exceptions can be made, but in that case the drivers in question are classified in the order of final practice.
Had this been applied literally, Red Bull drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen would have been demoted from the second row to 12th and 13th and Force India's Nico Hulkenberg from ninth to 19th, and others promoted accordingly.
In the end, article 35.1 was applied but the stewards decided "exceptional circumstances" applied and the grid was left unchanged.
Meanwhile, world champion Hamilton called for the rules governing driving under yellow flags to be clarified after the events of qualifying.
"It is what it is and I will fight from where I am but more clarification would be good," he said. "For us drivers, we need to fully understand the yellow flag situation.
"The way it is written is not the way it is interpreted by the drivers or the stewards.
"For me, there was no question I had to lift because Fernando was on the track, but perhaps for Nico, I think, Fernando had cleared but there were still flags so it was just a different scenario."
Hamilton was fastest after the first laps of the final top 10 shoot-out and was 0.35secs quicker on his second run through the first sector before coming across Alonso.
Alonso's accident had triggered double waved yellow flags, which mean a driver has to "slow down and be prepared to stop".
Hamilton said: "Double yellow is: 'Be prepared for a car or steward on the track' - you don't know what's around the corner.
"So the clarification that's needed is that Nico only lost 0.1secs in that corner. I thought that was maybe the case on single yellow but with double you had to pay more caution.
"If that's what we are allowed to do in future, even though you lift and approach the corner with due care, that is different to how most drivers approached it but I am not sure that is the safest approach."
Overtaking is notoriously difficult at the Hungaroring but Hamilton is still hopeful of beating Rosberg in the race and claiming the championship lead for the first time this season.
He goes into the race one point behind Rosberg after making up a 43-point deficit with four wins in the last five races.
"The start is definitely the most advantageous opportunity but there will be others, depending on the weather and tyre usage," he said.
"You generally have to have a second and half on the car in front here to overtake.
"If we are first and second into Turn One, it is most likely we will be following for some time because it is so hot here you cannot follow closely because all your temperatures get to the limit so I would have to back away by two or three seconds.
"There could be a safety car. There are lots of options. It's generally a great race."

A jump in height of thousands of metres can do pretty odd things to the body, especially when you come from somewhere a mere 18m above sea level like Jasmin Taylor.

The 22-year-old became the first British athlete to win a Telemark World Championship medal earlier this year with bronze in the sprint race.
Hailing from Ipswich, a place notoriously hill-less, her pre-season destinations have been in Switzerland and on a French glacier where the highest altitude is 3,737m.
"It's ridiculous - living at 2,000m and training at about 3,500m is quite full-on," she told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"Sometimes it affects you worse than others. I can get nosebleeds or headaches, you get hungry a lot because you're using a lot more energy, you need to drink more.
"Just generally it's a bit more fatiguing, for anyone, but especially when you live at sea level it's definitely a shock to the system.
"There are times when it doesn't affect you at all, but certainly some days you can feel the symptoms and it pressing on you somewhat. It's bizarre."
The Telemark sprint race includes jumps, similar to ski jumps, and Taylor has quickly established herself among the world's best in the sport since competing in her first World Junior Telemark Championship in 2011.
The world number eight and British number one is determined to be crowned British Champion again this season, having missed the chance to defend her 2014 title due to other commitments.
"My goals for the coming season are 'input' goals rather than 'outcome' goals," she continued. "But of course you always want to see an improvement in timings and results.
"I'm extra intent on improving elements of my technique, fitness and mentality, which should in theory improve results but without that being the immediate process."


Euro MPs have called for companies to carry out mandatory checks to stop "conflict minerals" entering Europe from war zones.

In an unexpected move, the European Parliament voted to require all EU importers of four minerals to be certified to ensure they do not fuel conflicts and human rights abuses.
The European Commission had recommended that checks be only voluntary.
Human rights groups praised the vote as a "historic moment".
The decision will now be discussed by member states and the European Commission.
Amnesty International and Global Witness had originally warned that a voluntary system covering European businesses would have watered down the proposals.
Before the vote, the two groups were among more than 150 which signed a letter calling for binding rules that focused on more manufacturers and more materials.
MEPs decided to back a law covering not just European importers that sourced minerals from conflict zones but also companies that used the four materials - tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold - in the manufacturing process.
While an estimated 20 refineries and smelters would be directly affected, the EU also estimates as many as 880,000 firms would have to provide details on the measures they take to avoid the use of minerals from conflict areas such as the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Great Lakes area of East Africa.
Many tech gadgets such as smartphones use conflict materials, so-called because they are mined in warlike conditions and traded by armed groups.
Campaigners had earlier complained that the scheme did not cover minerals and materials such as diamonds, jade and chromite, which are also known to be sources of conflict.


Leeds bounced back from their 66-10 Super League defeat by Castleford with a seven-try rout of a previously unbeaten Catalans Dragons.

The Rhinos led 14-4 at half-time thanks to tries from Adam Cuthbertson and Matt Parcell, Brayden Wiliame replying.
It was one-way traffic after the break as Jimmy Keinhorst, Cuthbertson, Rob Burrow, Danny McGuire and Liam Sutcliffe crossed for the hosts.
Julian Bousquet's score was scant consolation for Catalans.
Such a loss to local rivals Castleford in their last game prompted a letter to supporters from chief executive Gary Hetherington this week, stating that the possibility of a coaching change could not be ruled out.
This performance and result was a perfect boost to coach Brian McDermott and his players, who had lost their previous three against the Perpignan club.
Parcell's weaving runs from dummy-half caused the Dragons countless problems, and not even the sin-binnings of Cuthbertson and Keinhorst could stem their attacking flow.
Catalans had only conceded 40 points in their previous three games and had their otherwise decent defensive record blown away as well as seeing winger Jodie Broughton go off injured on a disappointing night in West Yorkshire.
Leeds Rhinos head coach Brian McDermott told BBC Radio Leeds: "I believe we can win the Grand Final. I believed it last week but after that performance I wasn't going to tell anyone. But we can win the Grand Final. Sometimes you've got to be kicked in your nuts to find out the best of you.
"We handled a really difficult night extremely well. We were up against it, down to 11 men at one stage but showed a real commitment to each other.
"Our game away at Leigh by our own doing meant we had to go to a difference resource and we did that tonight. Regardless of last week it was good, I've been the biggest critic of the offence this year and tonight it started to click. We don't go by the repetitive attack that you see in some teams which gets success but bores you to tears to watch.
"Our philosophy to attack is a bit more free, for want of a better phrase. Sometimes it goes wrong but you've got to get used to it and have some correction, but tonight it was a example of how it works, how it's a decent system."
Catalans Dragons head coach Laurent Frayssinous: "I'm disappointed with the result and the attitude.
"The result was an outcome of the attitude. Leeds wanted it more in every department. There were signs defensively in the first half that we weren't ready for a big battle."
Leeds Rhinos: Golding; Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall; McGuire, Sutcliffe; Singleton, Parcell, Cuthbertson, Keinhorst, Ablett, Baldwinson.
Replacements: Mullally, Burrow, Delaney, Walters.
Catalans Dragons: Bosc; Broughton, Duport, Wiliame, Thornley; Walsh, Myler; Burgess, Aiton, Casty, Horo, Garcia, Bird.
Replacements: Anderson, Bousquet, Baitieri, Da Costa.
Referee: James Child (RFL).


It's not in many restaurants that you need to have security clearance before placing your order.

But food lovers in Cardiff will have to do just that if they want to dine at a planned new restaurant - it will be in a prison and will be run by offenders.
If given the go-ahead by planners, HMP Cardiff fine-dining eaterie will be set up by the Clink Charity to help prisoners gain qualifications.
Diners will be searched before being cooked for and served by the inmates.
They will also have to submit an inquiry form when booking a table, which is then vetted by security, and have to bring photographic identification and hand over their mobile phones when arriving at the restaurant.
The aim of the Clink Charity, which was started by professional chef Alberto Crisci, is to reduce re-offending rates of ex-offenders by training and placing graduates upon their release into the hospitality industry.
It already runs a Clink restaurant in Sutton, Surrey and is looking for sites for new prison restaurants.
Cardiff council's planning committee has received an application to turn the jail's former visitor centre - a detached building within the prison boundary - into a restaurant.
Prisoners would work in the restaurant as cooks, waiters and cleaners, gaining City and Guilds, NVQ's and BIC's qualifications.
They will serve three course meals of fresh Welsh produce grown at an organic farm at HMP Prescoed in Usk, Monmouthshire.
Tables, chairs and other items of furniture used in the dining room will be manufactured by prisoners and they will also contribute poetry and art for the walls.
The only real difference compared to more normal restaurants is that alcohol will be off the menu and the cutlery will be plastic.
The planning application said that the plan "aims to provide a genuine opportunity for re training and life changing skill sets to offenders".
"The Clink offers prisoners the chance to gain food preparation, front of house service and cleaning qualifications," it added.
"Also, it provides first hand valuable experience within an exciting, dynamic business environment."
It said that the reoffending rate in the first year of release from prison is estimated to be around 50%.
But Clink has reduced this reoffending rate amongst its graduates to 20%.
The first Clink restaurant in Sutton three years ago within the walls of HMP High Down has so far trained 85 prisoners.
A Prison Service spokesperson said: "Prisons should be places of hard work that address the root causes of offending behaviour and where prisoners pay their debt to society.
"Skills learned through schemes like this increase the likelihood of prisoners getting a job on release - which reduces the chances of them reoffending - and allows deductions from their wages to be used for victims' services."
Cardiff Prison is a category B local / training prison - for those who do not require maximum security, but for whom escape needs to be made very difficult - and has a capacity for over 780 male adult prisoners.
According to the Ministry of Justice website, the number of life-sentenced prisoners has increased to 96.


Firefighters tackled a fire on moorland at Winter Hill in Lancashire for more than five hours.

The blaze, which broke out about a mile from Montcliffe Quarry on George's Lane near Horwich, was spotted by a pilot at about 15:55 BST.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue said it was a "significant wildfire" and 10 engines from Greater Manchester and Lancashire were deployed.
The fire was brought under control shortly after 21:00 BST.
Winter Hill lies between Bolton and Darwen in Lancashire, and hosts a television and radio mast.


Dozens of traffic lights in the Austrian capital have been changed to show gay couples crossing the road instead of the traditional lone figure.

Vienna has changed the signal images at 120 pedestrian crossings - also showing heterosexual couples - in preparation for the Eurovision Song Contest.
Officials said the signals were a sign of Vienna's open-mindedness.
Toni Mahdalik of the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria called the initiative gender politics "gone mad".
He said the money would have been better spent on reducing poverty and improving unemployment figures.
It is hoped the signals, which show couples holding hands and with love hearts above them instead of a gender-neutral figure, will also improve safety.
The unusual symbols are attracting the attention of drivers and pedestrians, a spokeswoman for Vienna's city lighting department said.
Many of the millions who watch Eurovision include a huge gay fan base and last year's winner, bearded transvestite Conchita Wurst, became a global gay icon with the song Rise like a Phoenix.
About 40 countries are taking part in the 2015 Eurovision contest. The final will be held on May 23.


The leader of Spain's main opposition Socialist party, Pedro Sanchez, has lost his party's support after 17 senior members resigned.

Party representatives hope to force Mr Sanchez out after his failure to form a coalition government.
A Socialist lawmaker told AFP news agency that party leadership must now be dissolved and "passed on to a caretaker administration".
Out of the 35-member executive committee, 19 have quit.
Without a majority, an interim leadership must take over the party.
Spain has been in a political deadlock for the past nine months.
The results of a general election on 20 December 2015 left a hung parliament. The majority Popular Party has faced the challenge of forming a coalition government, but Socialist leader Mr Sanchez has repeatedly blocked their attempts.
In attempt to break the stalemate a second election was held on 26 July 2016, but no party won an absolute majority.
Well, there are parallels with - and salutary lessons to be taken from - the experience of other left-leaning parties in Europe.
In the UK, left-wing Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has so far survived a deep ideological split in the Labour party, triggered by his own election as leader last year. He endured a wave of resignations including many of his shadow cabinet in late June, and went on to win another leadership contest.
But perhaps more pertinent to Mr Sanchez is the experience of Greece's socialist Pasok party. The party that once dominated Greek politics for three decades then fell dramatically from favour when the debt crisis hit - reviled for accepting hated austerity while in power in 2009. As with Podemos in Spain, the long-established left was challenged by a more radical party, Syriza, which is now in power.
Mr Sanchez may fear that if his Socialist party is seen as paving the way for the conservative PP to return to power, he'll be similarly punished by left-leaning voters.
It will have big repercussions for a country that has been in political deadlock for nine months.
The Socialists are Spain's second largest party, and won 85 seats compared with the PP's 137 in elections in June.  With more than half of its 35-member executive resigning, the Socialists could end up rudderless at a crucial time.
Parliament has until the end of October to decide whether to back a conservative-led Popular Party minority government. If not, Spain's stalemate will last 12 months and a third general election will take place in December.
For a long time, if Belgium is to be taken as an example. A political deadlock there lasted for 541 days. The situation led to demonstrations and pressure from financial markets and ratings agencies.
Spain, the eurozone's fourth biggest economy, is still recovering from the 2008-2013 double dip recession, known there as "la crisis".
Prolonged political deadlock could bring uncertainty to investors and eventually slow the country's recovery - something that Spaniards (and politicians) surely want to avoid.
It is thought that the uncertainty in Belgium only came to an end after the ratings agency Standard & Poor downgraded the country's credit rating, making it more expensive for Belgium to borrow money.


Fitness-tracking devices have helped Peter Dumbreck beat his personal best times for cycling three days in a row.

The racing driver and keen cyclist uses a Garmin 810 Edge cycle computer, a heart rate monitor and a power meter.
"The power meter is embedded into my left crank arm and talks via Bluetooth to my Garmin device, as does my heart rate monitor," he says.
"I can see my power [the force his legs are generating], which is updated every three seconds, on my Garmin screen and through training and experience know how many watts I can maintain and for how long I can do it," he says.
Wearable and portable fitness trackers are certainly helping serious athletes like Peter to push themselves to the limit.
But what about the rest of us? Does knowing how many calories we're burning, how fast our hearts are beating, and how many steps we've taken really motivate us to do more exercise and eat more healthily?
In short, do they really work?
"They've made us all aware of how we treat our bodies, and they have even helped people diagnose things like diabetes and obesity," says Collette Johnson, head of marketing at IT consultancy Plextek.
"But I feel they could go further."
Last year the University of Pittsburgh concluded that fitness trackers were "ineffective at sustaining weight loss".
The two-year study, conducted by the university's School of Education Department of Health and Physical Activity, involved 500 overweight volunteers. All were asked to diet and engage in more exercise, but only half were given a fitness tracker to help them.
The study found that the group wearing trackers lost 8lb (3.6kg), but the ones who didn't lost 13lb (5.9kg).
"Trackers are a reliable measurement of our activity, but we can't rely on them completely," says Andrew Lane, professor of sport psychology at the University of Wolverhampton.
"We can't expect just to buy one and that's it - some of the responsibility sits with us too. We still have to get off that sofa and complete those 10,000 steps a day."
Prof Lane believes that, if used inappropriately, they may even start to have a negative psychological effect.
"What if we start consistently not reaching goals set for us by them? Ultimately it would lead to us feeling demotivated - the opposite effect they are supposed to have."
Such concerns haven't stopped the market from booming - yet.
Leading wearable fitness tracker maker Fitbit reported 2015 revenues of Â£1.3bn, while researcher CSS Insight forecasts that the market will be worth Â£16bn by 2020.
And the fact that smartwatch sales declined sharply last year, according to market analysts IDC, has led many makers to reposition them primarily as fitness-tracking devices - another indication of where the business potential lies.
But is the problem with them that they are neither accurate nor sophisticated enough yet?
"As well as providing data for us, companies need to provide coaching with this data. They need to take responsibility for the results they're providing us," says Prof Lane.
And Plextek's Ms Johnson thinks they need to understand more about the individual user.
"They need to recognise whether Sharon from Uxbridge really should be doing two hours of fitness a week, how that's going to impact upon her body, her joints, whether she's at risk of osteoporosis.
"Fitness trackers can be too generic, personalising them will motivate us more," she tells the BBC.
Apps, like the Slimming World app, may be better for achieving sustained weight loss, she argues, because they allow you to track your weight loss progress and give you incentives after it has recorded your exercise.
"There is no doubt the industry is booming, but for it to really see results it needs not only to give us results, but to make them as personalised and as accurate as possible."
So what tech innovations are making fitness tracking more effective?
Genetics and nutrition firm DNAFit advises on how we should be training and what we should be eating after testing our genes and applying its algorithm to the analysis.
You take a saliva swab and send it off to the company's lab. After 10 days a report tells you which exercises your body will respond to best and which foods you should be eating. The company says its technology platform has been peer reviewed and clinically tested.
Other companies such as FitnessGenes, Genetrainer and AnabolicGenes adopt similar approaches.
Jo Rooney, 35, a deputy headteacher, used the test to try to cure her stomach problems.
"My results came back quite quickly and told me that I was actually lactose intolerant and had a high sensitivity to gluten.
"This did mean quite a radical change to my diet, and a lot more forward planning, but within a week I felt a lot less bloated, lost weight and I'd stopped having stomach problems."
Body scanners and tech built into sports clothes are also giving us more detailed results.
For example, Fit3D uses scanners to assess the whole body to calculate body fat percentage, assess posture and give body shape scoring.
While last year, OMsignal launched OMbra, a smart sports bra that tracks heart rate, breathing and distance between steps, and shares this data with a smartphone app.
Prof Lane believes that we're also going to start seeing biometric devices integrated not just into clothes and wearable devices, but directly on to our bodies as well.
For example, US tech firm Chaotic Moon Studios - now called Fjord - has created a prototype tech tattoo - a skin-mounted monitor that connects to your smartphone to monitor heart rate, blood pressure and even track movement via GPS.
Now we just need an injection of willpower.


Borussia Dortmund beat Legia Warsaw 8-4 in the highest-scoring Champions League game in history.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 12 goals scored at the Westfalenstadion on Tuesday surpassed Monaco's 8-3 win over Deportivo La Coruna in 2003.
There were seven goals in 22 first-half minutes, and Marco Reus scored twice on his return from six months out.
Polish champions Legia became the first side to score four goals in a Champions League match and lose.
Dortmund captain Marco Reus celebrated his return after six months out with goals in the 32nd and 52nd minutes, while his shot was deflected by Legia's Jakub Rzezniczak into his own net in the 92nd minute.
"I was just happy to be there from the start," said Reus, who missed the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016 because of injury.
"It is how you imagine your perfect comeback. I waited a long time for this and so it is even sweeter. The ball will be signed by everyone and will go on the shelf."

A new housing development is to be built on the former Balmoral Show grounds at the King's Hall complex in south Belfast.

The Balmoral Show has not been held at the site in 2012.
The former Maze prison site near Lisburn, County Antrim, now hosts the annual agricultural event.
The land at the King's Hall complex is owned by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS).
Nineteen houses are expected to be built on Harberton Park initially, with prices ranging from £500,000 to £700,000.
The development is a joint project between Hillmark Homes and Blue Horizon.
The chief executive of the RUAS, Colin McDonald, said: "The development is making use of the pedigree of land we have and we'll be digging on the site at the end of summer.
"You'll see the first houses coming on stream towards the end of the year or the beginning of next year."


A US jury has sentenced Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death by lethal injection.

Three people were killed and 260 were injured when Tsarnaev, now 21, and his brother placed bombs at the finishing line of the Boston Marathon in 2013.
Tsarnaev is likely to be moved to a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, to await execution, but there could be years of appeals.
Victims sobbed as the sentence was read, but Tsarnaev showed no emotion.
"Now he will go away and we will be able to move on. Justice. In his own words, 'an eye for an eye'," said bombing victim Sydney Corcoran, who nearly bled to death and whose mother lost both legs.
After 14 hours of deliberations, the jury concluded that he showed no remorse and therefore should be put to death.
"The jury has spoken. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will pay for his crimes with his life,'' said US Attorney Carmen Ortiz.
Tsarnaev was found guilty last month of helping carry out the attack, as well as fatally shooting a policeman.
As a state, Massachusetts ended the death penalty in 1984, but Tsarnaev was tried on federal charges, meaning he was eligible for execution.
Tsarnaev stood next to his lawyer. He tilted his head to the side and shifted his weight from one foot to the other as he heard the clerk read the notes from the jurors.
After the death sentence was announced, he bowed his head.
A juror with gold hoop earrings took a drink from a water bottle. A moment later she started to cry. Another juror touched her to reassure her and to comfort her.
Another juror with dark-framed glasses and a blue shirt cried too. He took off his glasses. He wiped his forehead and wiped his eyes. He bit his lips, distraught.
After the sentence was announced, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said: "The ultimate penalty is a fitting punishment for this horrific crime and we hope that the completion of this prosecution will bring some measure of closure to the victims and their families.''
But not all of the victims supported the death penalty for Tsarnaev.
The parents of Martin Richard, an eight-year-old boy killed in the blast, wrote an article in the Boston Globe newspaper last month asking the government to not seek a death sentence as it would delay their emotional closure.
The Associated Press news agency reached Tsarnaev's father, Anzor Tsarnaev, by phone in the Russian region of Dagestan on Friday. He moaned after hearing the sentence and hung up.
During the trial, Tsarnaev's defence team admitted that he had played a role in the attacks but said that his older brother, Tamerlan - shot dead by police in the subsequent manhunt - was the driving force.
Lawyers also highlighted his difficult early life. The Tsarnaevs - ethnic Chechens - had lived in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and the volatile Dagestan region of Russia, near Chechnya. The family moved to the US in 2002.
Victims' profiles in full
But prosecutors argued that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was an equal partner in the attack, showing the jury a message he wrote on the boat where he was arrested.
"Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop," it read.
Throughout the trial, the jurors heard grisly testimony from bombing survivors. They described seeing their legs blown off or watching someone next to them die.
At the start of the penalty phase, the prosecutors showed jurors a photo of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev raising his middle finger to a jail cell security camera months after his arrest.
"This is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev - unconcerned, unrepentant and unchanged," prosecutor Nadine Pellegrin said.
Reaction from Russian social media
The Tsarnaev brothers were of Chechen descent. Commentators from across the political spectrum in Russia were broadly unanimous in condemning the verdict:


Huddersfield Town have signed striker Elias Kachunga on a season-long loan from German top-flight side Ingolstadt.

The Championship club have the option to make the move a permanent one at the end of the 2016-17 season.
Germany Under-21 international Kachunga, 24, was Ingolstadt's record signing when he joined in 2015, but made only three starts last term.
"Sometimes you need a hard experience as a young player to make steps forward," said head coach David Wagner.
The Terriers boss told the club website: "I'm sure with his pace, mobility and working attitude he gives another great option up front, which we needed for the upcoming season.
"It was a big target of ours in this summer window to bring in senior competition for Nahki Wells and I believe that is what Elias will give."

The proportion of UK young people who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual has increased, figures show.

Some 3.3% of 16 to 24-year-olds - about 242,000 people - identified as LGB in 2015, up from 2.8% in 2014.
The rise was mainly due to more people identifying as bisexual, the Office for National Statistics said, up from 1.3% in 2014 to 1.8% last year.
Rights charity Stonewall said that may in part be a result of more LGB role models in the public eye.
It named model and actress Cara Delevigne, boxer Nicola Adams and singer Miley Cyrus among high-profile people to come out as bisexual in recent years.
The ONS's sexual identity data comes from its Annual Population Survey.
Sexual identity is one part of the concept of "sexual orientation", which does not necessarily reflect sexual attraction or sexual behaviour, the ONS said.
It currently does not measure sexual attraction or sexual behaviour.
Other findings showed:
Lana Peswani, 24, first had feelings towards women when she was a young child but says she didn't know at the time what they meant.
She was bullied in her all-girls secondary school by students who called her a lesbian.
However, it was when she was 17 that she heard the term pansexual for the first time and realised it applied to her.
Pansexuality is a term used to describe those who can feel an attraction to anyone, regardless of their sex or gender.
Miss Peswani, who lives in London, has had relationships with men and women, and said: "I feel my attraction to people is quite fluid.
"I fancy guys, girls and trans people, and I find androgyny attractive. It's more about the person and the energy they give."
She added: "I think the younger generation are a lot more open. They are aware of things like trans issues.
"At my school people weren't aware of trans issues at all."
A spokeswoman for Stonewall welcomed the figures and said there were now more LGB role models in the media and more open discussions in society about bisexuality.
She said: "We would hope that individuals who had previously felt pressured to conceal their bi identity now feel safer and more empowered to be open about how they identify.
"It's a shame the data doesn't account for those who identify outside of the binaries of lesbian, gay and bi, however.
"We know that many LGBT people prefer not to label their sexual orientation in such a way, and so their input in this research is lost."
Some 320,000 are polled each year for the Annual Population Survey, from which individual reports are published throughout the year.


Following a series of landslips and with "no immediate solution" in sight, what does the future hold for those displaced from homes in Ystalyfera?

A row of houses in the Neath Port Talbot village has been evacuated and one empty home has been earmarked for demolition.
About 20 people have been forced out of their homes and up to 150 properties could be affected.
So what are the issues facing residents and what could happen next?
As is typical in the Welsh valleys, many homes in Ystalyfera are built into the hillside.
About 3,000 people live in the village and it was once home to several mines.
Pwllback Colliery, Varteg Colliery, Tirbach Slanta and Taneri Colliery in neighbouring Godrergraig were among the mines dug in and around Ystalyfera.
Neath Port Talbot Council leader Rob Jones said the "whole area has a legacy of geographical faults - it is a heritage of the mining industry".
Council records show landslides and boulder falls have dogged the area for 120 years.
The first documented case was in January 1897 when a landslide was noted on a geological map.
Since then, there have been at least 45 recorded incidents, including roads being blocked, homes being damaged and, in May 1965, a house and lorry was engulfed on Graig Road.
This is not the complete picture as there were no records kept from November 1986 to December 2012.
However, in that month, thousands of tonnes of rock, soil and trees slipped down the hillside behind the homes, followed by a further two landslides this year, causing some gardens to drop away.
Mr Jones has admitted it is impossible to predict when or where the next landslide will happen.
When the council evacuated people from 10 homes - numbers 81 to 96 - on Cyfyng Road, they were told there was an "imminent risk" to their lives.
The council has admitted there is "no engineering solution" for them, but two households have refused to budge.
The other two were derelict and it is one of these which has been earmarked to be pulled down. One group who left their home are still in a B&B but the council said they were in the process of moving into appropriate accommodation.
One option available is compulsory purchase orders (CPO).
This allows the state or a public body to acquire land and buildings when "it is in the public interest".
Typically, they are issued for major projects or developments, as was the case when the UK government announced 16 homes on a new housing estate in South Yorkshire would be demolished to make way for HS2.
Even if people do not want to sell, they can be forced to, but they must be compensated and that figure is negotiated between homeowners and the authority taking possession of their home or land.
Mr Jones said he would have "no hesitation" in going down this route to "save people's lives".
Property website Zoopla lists the average value of a home on Cyfyng Road as Â£72,611 in August 2017 - however, it remains to be seen what impact this latest landslide will have on property value.
Just by being served with the notice to evacuate, the council said people could claim home loss compensation.
However, anyone who owns their home will need to continue paying their mortgage and if the landslip has a big impact on house prices, this could push people into negative equity.
This happens when the price of a property falls so dramatically it is no longer worth as much as the loan taken out on it.
Homeowners are then often unable to sell as they will not be able to repay what they owe, while the lender no longer has enough value in the house to cover the loan it issued.
Also, recent landslips have to be declared on any applications for home insurance and are viewed in similar terms to subsidence.
This may mean people will struggle to get a policy from one of the mainstream lenders and could have to go a specialist insurer.


Investors should be given a bigger say over executive pay to help rebuild trust in business, the Institute of Directors (IoD) has said.

The IoD is calling for pay strategies to be rethought, if they are rejected by 30% of shareholders.
Remuneration should then be put to a fresh vote, it said.
Despite some high profile rebellions in recent months, executive pay is usually approved at annual general meetings, the IoD added.
"There is still a pressing need to rebuild public trust in big business, to work in the long-term interests of investors and employees, rather than the short-term interests of managers," said Oliver Parry, head of corporate governance at the IoD.
"Now is the time for sensible reforms which increase transparency and draw more engagement from shareholders."
At present, shareholders have a binding vote on future remuneration policy once every three years. If the policy is rejected by 51% of shareholders, it must be revisited.
The IoD is arguing that threshold should be lowered to 30%.
Shareholders also have a retrospective, non-binding vote on executive pay every year, and company annual general meetings often see vociferous criticisms of executive pay.
In April last year, BP shareholders, for example, rejected a pay package of almost Â£14m for chief executive Bob Dudley at the oil company's annual general meeting. However, the vote was non-binding.
In November last year the government outlined its plans to make companies justify high levels of executive pay.
Among the measures under consideration were pay ratios, which would show the gap in earnings between the chief executive and an average employee.


Hackers have stolen login data for more than seven million members of the Minecraft site Lifeboat.

Lifeboat lets members run servers for customised, multiplayer maps for the smartphone edition of Minecraft.
There is evidence that the stolen information, including email addresses and passwords, is being offered on sites that trade in hacked data.
Analysis suggests passwords were very weakly protected so attackers could easily work them out.
Information about the breach was passed to independent security expert Troy Hunt who said he got the list from someone who trades in stolen credentials. Several people had told him the data was circulating on dark net sites.
Mr Hunt said the data was stolen in early 2015 but the breach has only now come to light.
Passwords for Lifeboat accounts were hashed, he said, but the algorithm used provided little protection.
Hashing is a technique used to scramble passwords so they are not easily read if the data goes astray.
Often, he said, a Google search for a hashed password would instantly return the correct plain text value. Well-known cracking tools could automate and speed up this process, he said.
"A large portion of those passwords would be reverted to plain text in a very short time," he said in a blogpost about the breach.
This often lead to other security problems, he said, because many people re-use passwords so finding out one can lead attackers to compromise accounts on other sites.
In a statement given to Motherboard, Lifeboat said it had taken action to limit the damage.
"When this happened [in] early January we figured the best thing for our players was to quietly force a password reset without letting the hackers know they had limited time to act," it told the news site adding that it now used stronger hashing algorithms.
It said: "We have not received any reports of anyone being damaged by this."
Mr Hunt was critical of the company for "quietly" forcing the password re-set saying this policy left him "speechless".
Instead, he said, Lifeboat should have done much more to alert users so they could quickly change passwords if they used the same one on other sites.
"The first thing that should be on any company's mind after an incident like this is, 'How do we minimise the damage to our users?'" he said.


The film Moonlight has eight nominations at the Oscars.

16 February 2017 Last updated at 20:52 GMT
Set mainly in a black neighbourhood of Miami, it chronicles the life of Chiron - from being a gentle child bullied at school to a young adult trying to come to terms with his sexuality.
It mixes macho brutality, with genuine tenderness.
The film is directed by Barry Jenkins and is based on a story by Tarell Alvin McCraney called In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue. They are both up for an Oscar for adapted screenplay. Evan Davis met up with Tarell Alvin McCraney.

Almost 20% of the food made available to consumers is lost through over-eating or waste, a study suggests.

It says the world consumes about 10% more food than it needs, while almost 9% is thrown away or left to spoil.
Edinburgh scientists say efforts to reduce the billions of tonnes lost could improve global food security - ensuring everyone has access to a safe, affordable, nutritious diet.
The scientists looked at 10 stages in the global food system.
Using data collected primarily by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, the team found that more food was lost from the system than previously thought.
Almost half of harvested crops - or 2.1 billion tonnes - were lost through over-consumption, consumer waste and inefficiencies in production processes.
The researchers found that livestock production was the least efficient process, with losses of 78% or 840 million tonnes.
About 1.08 billion tonnes of harvested crops are used to produce 240 million tonnes of edible animal products including meat, milk and eggs.
This stage accounted for 40% of all losses of harvested crops, the researchers said.
They found that increased demand for some foods, particularly meat and dairy products, would decrease the efficiency of the food system and could make it difficult to feed the world's expanding population in sustainable ways.
Meeting the demand could cause environmental harm by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, depleting water supplies and causing loss of biodiversity.
The team said that encouraging people to eat fewer animal products, reduce waste and not exceed their nutritional needs could help to reverse these trends.
Dr Peter Alexander, of Edinburgh University's school of geosciences and Scotland's rural college, said: "Reducing losses from the global food system would improve food security and help prevent environmental harm.
"Until now, it was not known how over-eating impacts on the system. Not only is it harmful to health, we found that over-eating is bad for the environment and impairs food security."
Prof Dominic Moran, of the University of York, who was involved in the study, said: "This study highlights that food security has production and consumption dimensions that need to be considered when designing sustainable food systems.
"It also highlights that the definition of waste can mean different things to different people."
The study is published in the journal Agricultural Systems.


A photograph of a dazed and bloodied Syrian boy rescued from a destroyed building in Aleppo after an air strike has caused outrage around the world.

Images of the boy sitting in an ambulance were released by activists and have since been shared widely on social media.
He was identified as five-year-old Omran Daqneesh, who was treated for head wounds on Wednesday, doctors said.
His parents and three siblings are believed to have survived the attack.
The pro-opposition Aleppo Media Centre said the pictures of Omran had been taken in the rebel-held Qaterji district late on Wednesday, reportedly following Russian air strikes that killed at least three people and injured 12 others.
The video shows the boy being carried out of a damaged building by a medic and then placed on a seat in the back of an ambulance, covered in dust and with a blood-covered face.
Omran is then left sitting quietly, appearing stunned by the ordeal. He runs his hand over his face and looks at the blood before wiping it on the seat.
Omran's picture has already led to comparisons with another disturbing image, that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi whose body was washed up on a Turkish beach after his family attempted to cross to Greece.
Fighting between government and rebel forces has escalated in recent weeks in Aleppo, once Syria's commercial and industrial hub, leaving hundreds dead.
Russia said it was ready to stop military operations in the city for a 48-hour period as early as next week after UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura pleaded for a "gesture of humanity" to allow aid deliveries to hundreds of thousands of people trapped there.
No aid has been delivered to besieged areas since the beginning of the month.
Omran was pulled from the remains of a destroyed block of flats along with his parents and three siblings, aged one, six and 11, Al Jazeera Mubashir journalist Mahmoud Raslan told AP news agency.
"We were passing them from one balcony to the other," Mr Raslan - who took the photo - said, adding that he had been handed three lifeless bodies before receiving the injured boy.
Doctors said Omran was treated for head injuries and later discharged and none of his family sustained major injuries.
The shell-shocked boy's image has prompted an outpouring of anger at the continuing fighting.
"The stunned, bloodied face of a child survivor sums up the horror of Aleppo," tweeted Adib Shishakly, a member of the opposition Syrian National Council.
Turkish-based commentator Omar Madaniah wrote: "A boy has come out from underneath the rubble in Aleppo after Russian airplanes targeted him. This is the terrorist that all states are uniting against."
Saudi media figure Jamal Khashoggi tweeted: "It is as if he is sitting at the Arab summit or the Security Council chiding those who are silent with his own silence and looks."
More than 250,000 people have died in almost five years of war in Syria, with a further 11 million people displaced by the conflict, according to the UN.
Staffan de Mistura is, even in the face of the enormous diplomatic challenge of bringing peace to Syria, normally a genial man. Not on Thursday.
He was visibly angry as he described how he had suspended the humanitarian task force after just eight minutes. There was no sense in meeting, he said, when no aid had been delivered to any besieged areas since the beginning of August. This is despite weeks of pleas from senior aid officials.
The move by Mr de Mistura may be seen as measure of last resort. Since no negotiations are taking place, the UN may be hoping to shame the warring parties - and their backers like the United States and Russia - into, at the very least, a pause in fighting to allow aid in. But as the battle for Aleppo rages, the UN's diplomacy in Syria looks increasingly sidelined.


England will not resort to a physical approach to combat Gareth Bale and his Wales team-mates in Thursday's Euro 2016 match, says boss Roy Hodgson.

In the build-up to the match, Real Madrid forward Bale quipped no England players would get in the Wales team, who he said had more desire.
Hodgson insisted England had not been interested in the words aimed in their direction from the Wales camp.
And he said Bale could "rest assured" that England "don't kick people".
Speaking in the pre-match media conference on Wednesday, Hodgson said: "I'll put a stop to all discussions and questions regarding what Gareth may or may not have said. I think they've had our answers.
"I don't want to keep batting away questions."
England drew 1-1 in their opening game against Russia, while Wales beat Slovakia 2-1.
"Our focus and our attention has been very much on trying to prepare for these three games," said Hodgson.
"This has always been the one where the mass media interest would be highest, simply because it's a game between two teams where most of the players play in the Premier League and Wales is another home nation.
"We have been talking about Wales as a team and a group of players in exactly the same way we had been talking about Russia. We know them better, of course, and they know us better, but there has literally been no difference in the way we would prepare."
England have been determined not to be drawn into a verbal battle, concentrating instead on recovering from a disappointing result despite a good performance in Marseille on Saturday.

Hodgson added: "I've not heard anybody in the squad make any reference whatsoever to any comments that have been made. Whenever you play any game of football you will either be classed as an underdog or a favourite, either by those outside or by yourselves.
"It doesn't make a ha'porth of difference and when that whistle blows we know what we have got to do and we think we'll be ready to do it. We'll be trying very hard to win the game and then afterwards it will probably all start again."
Hodgson defended Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling after their performances against Russia.
Tottenham striker Kane looked jaded, while Manchester City winger Sterling referred to himself as "#TheHatedOne" in a post on Instagram.
Asked whether Kane was struggling after a long Premier League season, Hodgson said: "I've got to say watching the training and even watching the games I haven't really had any severe doubts about that.
"Once again there is always going to be a situation after every game where players' performances are analysed and scrutinised. Some will get tremendous pats on the back and others will get fewer pats on the back.
"There were other players in the team the other night who have probably almost as much football as Harry and I don't know I particularly noticed them struggling in that way."
Hodgson also believes Sterling performed well in Marseille, saying: "Raheem's mental state is very good. I thought he played well.
"He's been as bright as a button in the training sessions we've been having and I thought his performance the other night was a good one. I thought he caused the Russians a lot of problems."
Meanwhile, England captain Wayne Rooney believes the team can challenge anyone if they can maintain their level of performance against Russia.
He said: "I think if we perform the way we did it will be difficult not just for Wales but for any team to stop us playing that way and winning games.
"We performed very well but only drew so that is something which we have to improve."

Newcastle have added to their French contingent by signing midfielder Moussa Sissoko from Toulouse for an undisclosed fee.

Sissoko follows Yoan Gouffran,centre-back Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa,left-back Massadio Haidara and right-back Mathieu Debuchy to St James' Park.
The 23-year-old has signed a six-and-a-half-year deal and will wear the number seven shirt.
Sissoko said: "I am delighted to be a Newcastle United player."
He will bring drive and energy to the squad, he is a winner and that's why I'm especially pleased to have him with us
The player, who came through the youth ranks at Toulouse, has six senior international caps.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said: "This transfer window has proved very productive for us and Moussa arriving is a massive plus for the club.
"He will bring drive and energy to the squad, he is a winner and that's why I'm especially pleased to have him with us.
"What all our signings this window bring is essential competition for places and that is great for the remainder of the season."
Toulouse had earlier revealed Sissoko would be signing for the north-east side.
"Moussa Sissoko will not go to the end of his contract. He found an agreement with Newcastle United for a definitive transfer," the club announced.
Before Haidara joined from Nancy, Gouffran was recruited from Bordeaux and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa from Montpellier, while Debuchy arrived from Lille.
Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa, Romain Amalfitano, Sylvain Marveaux and Gabriel Obertan are already at St James' Park.
Pardew's side finished fifth in the Premier League last season but they are 16th in 2012-13, two points above the relegation zone.
In other Newcastle news on Friday captain Fabricio Coloccini agreed to stay at the club until at least the end of the season.


Penalties for people who drop litter could reach as much as £150 under plans set out by the Department for Communities and Local Government.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the minimum fine is set to double up to £100. Current fines set by councils range between £50 and £80.
Ministers are said to be preparing a "clutter-free legacy for England".
And Communities minister Marcus Jones said those who drop litter would be "hit in the pocket".
He added: "Dropping litter is the kind of anti-social behaviour that really gets people's backs up, and rightly so.
"It's thoughtless, selfish and ruins shared spaces for everyone. Not only that, litter clearance and disposal costs hundreds of millions of pounds for councils every year - money that could be going on vital services.
"If litter louts can't put their rubbish in the bin perhaps we can hit them in the pocket instead."
The Clean for the Queen campaign is a nationwide clean-up operation, ahead of Her Majesty's 90th birthday.
Its chief executive, Adrian Evans, said some people thought it was their "human right" to drop rubbish but has urged the public to challenge offenders.
"The way I have done it in the past is to treat it as though they have made a mistake and something has inadvertently fallen out of their bag or pocket. Sort of, 'Oh no, did you mean to drop that?'"
In 2015, councils in England and Wales called for new powers to tackle the "huge and spiralling" problem of people throwing litter from vehicles.
In London, vehicle owners can be fined if someone drops litter from their car.


The second largest lake in the South American country of Bolivia has completely dried up.

Lake Poopo used to be about 1,000 square kilometres big but it's been shrinking for several years and in December it completely evaporated.
It's bad news for wildlife, like fish and birds, who live in the area and depend on the lake for food.
More than 100 families have had to leave their homes in the last three years.
The lake has dried up before, and reappeared later on, but scientists have warned that recovery might not be possible this time.
No one knows for sure why the lake has disappeared, but repeated droughts caused by the El Nino weather phenomenon is thought to be an important factor.
Another reason could be that water from the rivers that feed into the lake has been diverted for mining and farming, meaning that less water reaches the lake itself.


Soldiers from East Anglia stationed in Burma during World War Two have formally transferred their Standard to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford.

It will be displayed in the Forgotten War display along with other items relating to the Burma Campaign.
Veteran Jimmy Kemp presented the Standard of the Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex Borders Branch of the Burma Star Association.
Former soldiers attended the hand-over service at IWM Duxford on Saturday.
The branch has had a long association with the museum Mr Kemp said.
"Now that the branch is ceasing formal duties, we have decided to Lay Up the Standard," he said.
"We always wanted it to be part of the collection at IWM Duxford, because of our long association with the museum.
"This is a very poignant moment for us."
Martin Boswell, museum curator, said: "When plans were laid to discuss the construction of a permanent gallery at the museum to commemorate the war in the Far East these veterans were among the first to offer active help and to provide objects for display, giving the most important resource of all; their approval.
"Opened in 1999, the Forgotten War exhibition at last redressed the balance, with many a Far East veteran then pleased to see that at last their deeds and sacrifices were in the public domain."


Northern Ireland was the wettest region of the UK in July with 128mm of rain, according to Met Office figures.

That is 57% above average for the summer month, making it also the wettest July on record since 2010.
The UK as a whole saw 107mm of rain, or 37% more than normal, with all areas receiving more rain than average.
According to the Republic of Ireland's weather service, Met Ã‰ireann, most areas across Ireland were also wetter than normal.
Shannon Airport had its wettest July since 1946 when more than double the average rain fell at the County Clare site.
However, it was also the sunniest July in Northern Ireland since 2013 with 170.5 hours of sunshine, or 21% more than normal.
This reflects the fact that we enjoyed some warm and sunny weather during the first 18 days of the month.
The figure for the UK as a whole was 171 hours - which is normal for the time of year.
Temperature-wise, July was fairly unremarkable with an average temperature of 14.4 celsius, just 0.2 celsius below normal.


About 380 jobs are to go at a luxury boat builder which went into administration last week.

Fairline Boats, with bases at Corby and Oundle in Northamptonshire, was taken over by private equity firm Wessex Bristol Investments in October.
Administrators FRP Advisory will keep 69 staff on temporarily to liaise with current clients and market the company for sale.
Unite union organiser Mick Orpin said the company had a viable future.
The administrators also said "a handful of staff" will remain at the motor yacht company's testing site in Ipswich in Suffolk.
Before entering administration, the company employed 450 people in Northamptonshire.
FRP Advisory is liaising with staff, customers, suppliers and agents to "ensure value can be realised from servicing existing orders", according to joint administrator Alastair Massey.
"The business is being marketed for sale... Fairline is a proud brand and has an array of loyal customers," he said.
Mr Orpin said the job losses were "a real financial body blow to staff facing a grim Christmas" and the Fairline still had "a viable and sustainable future with good management".
On 4 December, Conservative MP for Corby and East Northamptonshire Tom Pursglove said he had written to the secretary of state for business to encourage an investigation into the company's management.
Fairline was put into administration by private equity fund Better Capital on 2 December - ten weeks after it sold it to Wessex Bristol, for a deferred £2m.
A spokesman for Better Capital said administrators were called in after Wessex Bristol failed to deliver promised funds to Fairline which were "essential for it to function".
But Ayiaz Ahmed, who runs Wessex Bristol, said he was "gutted" at the decision and he "could have turned this business around".


Heather Mills has become the seventh celebrity to pull out of Channel 4's The Jump due to injury.

She crashed during a practice run over the weekend, injuring her knee and thumb.
Her departure was announced hours after former Girls Aloud member Sarah Harding left the reality show because of a ligament injury.
Channel 4 launched an urgent safety review earlier this month in light of the number of injured contestants.
The broadcasting regulator Ofcom has also received a number of complaints about the show and is said to be considering a formal investigation.
Other celebrities to have pulled out include Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle, actress Tina Hobley, and Made In Chelsea's Mark-Francis Vandelli.
Linford Christie and Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington have also left the programme.
EastEnders actor Joe Swash chipped a bone in his shoulder, but decided to proceed with the show despite his injury. However, he was eliminated last weekend.
Mills - who is the former wife of Sir Paul McCartney - was brought in to fill one of the vacancies created by the departure of injured contestants.
Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards said earlier this month that the contestants who have had to pull out "must bear the brunt of the blame" for their injuries.
"They signed up for this, they're being paid for this. If they are hurting, it can often be self-inflicted," he said.
The current season of The Jump began on 31 January and is due to conclude this weekend, with The Wanted's Tom Parker, socialite Tamara Beckwith, actor Sid Owen, rugby player Ben Cohen and singer Dean Cain competing to be crowned the winner.
