"Poverty is stitched into the system," says Lord Bird, the outspoken and larger-than-life Big Issue founder and campaigner on homelessness.

But he has plans to unpick it - and says he has been in talks with Theresa May about a new approach to tackling poverty if she is re-elected as prime minister.
"I'm expectant. I have great expectations," he says of his discussions with Mrs May about a new focus on preventing poverty before it takes root.
They might seem like an unlikely pairing - Mrs May, the clergyman's daughter and John Bird, who learned to read in prison, but he says she has engaged with his ideas on prevention.
The cross-bench peer is proposing a "prevention department" or a "prevention unit", working across health, education, social services, police and prisons.
He says successive prime ministers have been "chummy" with him about ideas to tackle poverty but Mrs May seemed particularly interested in this shift towards a  systematic strategy of prevention.
Lord Bird says he wants a fence at the top of the cliff, rather than ambulances picking up pieces at the bottom.
The billions spent on the rats' nest of consequences of poverty - in educational underachievement, bad health, poor employment, drink and drug abuse and the criminal justice system - would be better targeted at prevention.
And if Mrs May returns to Downing Street, he will be knocking on her door "to put her money where her mouth is".
He says he told her a couple of "home truths" - including that he was tired of being wheeled out by ministers who wanted to be associated with what the Big Issue has achieved for the homeless, while the big underlying problems remained unresolved.
He is scathing about decades of ministerial attempts to address poverty.
"Most of them are a bit like the alcoholic that won't admit that they're a drunk.
"They don't want to admit that they're overseeing a system which at the end of their time in office will still be a failure."
He accuses governments of coming up with gimmicky pilot projects that get a few headlines but never really scratch the surface.
"They show it to you and sign a piece of paper saying they want to end poverty. But they go on spending the money in the same old way."
He also argues strongly that poverty is not just about material deprivation - and that anti-poverty efforts need to be about raising aspirations and opening up opportunities.
"I know that the poor are materially better off than when I was a boy - but emotionally, psychologically and mentally, they're worse off."
He says those at the bottom of the heap have been hurt by an economy dominated by a "horrible mix of consumerism and the financial industry".
But he says the first step has to be addressing basic need.
"If you can't feed, you can't think.
"You've got this underlying situation where many, many families in this country are just about holding on.
"What we have to realise is that the lack of material security undermines everything else.
"So when people chastise the poor for not getting off their rears, it's often because with that material lack of independence all the other lights go out, the whole tree goes out."
"My mum and dad had enormous poverty - they were never going to raise their eyes above material poverty, because they'd been destroyed."
But he is angry at what he sees as a lack of ambition in poverty initiatives.
"They don't look on the poor as the same species as themselves.
"I also want to address the paucity of education, the social engagement. And that's when you fall out with the great and the good."
He says there has been a misplaced fear of being seen as "elitist" or "paternalistic" - and that tackling poverty should be about opening up the worlds of art, history, politics and economics.
Schools should be teaching everyone about how financial markets operate, he says.
"Most capitalists don't even know how capitalism works these days," he says.
He accuses the social services system of being "vapid and ineffective".
"They're not stopping poverty. All they're doing is keeping the poor poor. Why is social security not called social opportunity?"
Whichever party wins the general election will face pressing questions about poverty, whether it's homelessness, food bank users or the out-of-sight struggles of those working but still not making ends meet.
Official figures this year showed that two-thirds of children living in poverty were now in working families, the highest levels on record.
Lord Bird, who made the journey from sleeping rough and washing up in the kitchens at the House of Lords to sitting as a peer on the red benches, will keep rattling the windows of whoever gets elected.


A British man accused of hacking into US government computer networks has been re-arrested by police in the UK.

Lauri Love, 30, of Stradishall in Suffolk, faces charges in the US of hacking into agencies including the US Army, Nasa and the US Federal Reserve.
The Met Police executed an extradition warrant, on behalf of the US, at his house on Ash Walk on Wednesday.
He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court and was bailed until his next hearing on 1 September.
Mr Love was first arrested in 2013 and had computer equipment seized by British police who then released him on bail.
His solicitor Karen Todner said his bail was cancelled over a year ago with no further action having been taken at that time.
Mr Love had begun legal proceedings to get his computer equipment returned by the UK's National Crime Agency.
Twenty-five of 31 items - including laptops, computer towers, memory sticks and hard drives - were given back to him before a court hearing and he withdrew his action.
Ms Todner said his re-arrest came "out of the blue" and he would be fighting extradition.


Britain's double Olympic champion Nicola Adams will face Mexico's Maryan Salazar in Leeds on Saturday.

The fight, Adams' second as a professional and first in her home city for 20 years, will be over four three-minute rounds, rather than the usual two-minute rounds for women.
The flyweight voiced her frustration with two-minute rounds after beating Virginia Carcamo last month.
Salazar, 18, has lost once in six professional contests.
Adams, 34, says the extra minute in each round will give her a chance to try out things she has learnt in the gym.
She said: "I had two minutes to find my rhythm, distance and take out my opponent. It's not enough time.
"I found, by the end of the rounds, I needed a couple more seconds and it would be over.
"Now we have three minutes, I'm able to relax more, establish the jab, find the rhythm properly and really get in the swing of things."
On the same card, WBC international featherweight champion Josh Warrington defends his title against Spain's Kiko Martinez.

Waiting staff should receive their tips in full and it should be clearer to customers that gratuities are optional, the business secretary has said.

Sajid Javid said a tip had to "go to the people you intended it to go to" and announced proposals to stop or limit employer deductions from tips.
It follows claims that some restaurant chains were regularly holding back some or all of the tips meant for staff.
The Unite union said it was a "victory" for staff but should be backed in law.
Currently, there is no legal requirement for firms to hand over gratuities to their waiting staff.
There are almost 150,000 hotels, pubs and restaurants in Britain, employing about two million people.
What happens to waiters' tips?
The war over tipping
Inquiry into tipping abuse
Announcing a two-month consultation on proposals that the government said would stamp out unfairness, Mr Javid told the BBC: "Too many people were finding that when they were leaving tips for hardworking people they weren't actually going to those people.
"That's unacceptable. It's got to go to the people you intended it to go to, it's got to be a transparent process, it's also got to be voluntary for good service."
The proposals include:
Mr Javid said the government would also look at legislation "if necessary".
Unite had been campaigning for action after complaining that some firms were counting tips as part of a worker's pay.
Dave Turnbull, Unite's officer for the hospitality sector, said any change would need backing in law to make it effective.
"Restaurant staff and hotel staff and back-of-house staff should be paid a living wage," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"They're highly skilled people, they've got a lot of customer service skills and it shouldn't be a situation where restaurant owners and large corporate companies take it for granted that customers are going to subsidise low pay."
But Mr Turnbull said the proposals were a "massive victory for all those waiting staff who have worked tirelessly to expose sharp practices in the hospitality industry".
"All they want is what any worker wants - to take home what they have earned, no corners cut," he said.
The British Hospitality Association (BHA), which represents more than 40,000 establishments in the UK, said it would meet with hospitality business leaders across the UK and conduct its own impact assessment.
BHA chief executive Ufi Ibrahim told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Empower the customer to know exactly what happens to tips should they choose to leave them.
"Ensure that they know they don't have to leave a service charge, that they could opt to leave a cash tip if they wish to.
"And let them know where that money is going. But what we need to do I think is to ensure that transparency is compulsory."
Food critic Jay Rayner told the BBC that the system of service charges and tipping "has outlived its usefulness". He believes tipping should be scrapped, with waiters receiving a rise in their basic wage instead.
"It's a bizarre system that we have and it only applies in restaurants, pretty much," he said.
Last year, restaurant chain Pizza Express announced it would stop deducting an 8% administration fee from staff tips made by card following pressure from unions and staff.
The firm, which uses a "tronc" system where tips are collected together and distributed evenly through the staff, said tips made by card would be "fully distributed" among employees.
Restaurant chain Giraffe scrapped its 10% admin fee on tips last year, joining the Restaurant Group, Carluccio's, Garfunkel's and Jamie Oliver's which do not deduct a fee.
The consultation period runs until 27 June 2016.


A man is believed to have been struck by a train at Stockwell Tube station.

Eyewitnesses on Twitter described the accident as "horrific" and that the man was hit when he bent down to pick up his bag.
British Transport Police said the man had life-threatening head injuries and was in a critical condition.

Novak Djokovic withstood the heavy hitting of Austrian 14th seed Dominic Thiem to reach the quarter-finals of the Miami Open.

Thiem earned 14 break points but could convert just one of those as 28-year-old Djokovic registered a 6-3 6-4 win.
"It was far from easy, he has some of the biggest firepower from the back of the court," said Djokovic.
The world number one will play Tomas Berdych - a winner over Richard Gasquet - in the last eight on Wednesday.
Theim, 22, led the ATP Tour alongside Djokovic on 24 wins this year heading into the match.
He pushed hard to recover a break when Djokovic served for the first set, and thought he had done so with a backhand down the line before Hawkeye ruled in the Serb's favour.
Djokovic held on to take the set but needed two breaks and all his defensive ability to keep the Austrian at bay in the second, eventually winning in one hour and 49 minutes.
Czech Berdych earlier beat France's Gasquet 6-4 3-6 7-5, while Australian Nick Kyrgios made his first Masters 1000 quarter-final with a 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 win over American Tim Smyczek and will next face Canada's Milos Raonic.
In the women's draw, Swiss ninth seed Timea Bacsinszky upset Romanian fifth seed Simona Halep 4-6 6-3 6-2.


A three-week trial at Holborn Tube station found queuing was reduced when people stood on both sides of the escalator - rather than the decades-long tradition of standing on the right and leaving the left-hand side free for people who want to walk.

Now the standing-only trial is to be extended - but with one escalator still available for people keen to walk.
BBC London asked passengers what they thought of the new rule.


The Netherlands have appointed Dick Advocaat as head coach for a third time.

The former Rangers and Sunderland boss, 70, announced in March he would be leaving Turkish side Fenerbahce at the end of this season.
Advocaat, who will be assisted by ex-Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit, replaces the sacked Danny Blind.
Blind lost his job after a 2-0 loss to Bulgaria left the Netherlands fourth in their World Cup qualifying group.
The team also failed to reach last summer's European Championships.
The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed the appointments of Advocaat and Gullit at a news conference on Tuesday.
In his previous spells as national team coach, Advocaat led the Netherlands to the 1994 World Cup quarter-finals and the semi-finals of Euro 2004.
Fenerbahce are third in the Super Lig, eight points behind leaders Besiktas, with four games to go.


Congress has voted to override President Barack Obama's veto of a bill that would allow families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabian officials.

In the first veto override of his presidency, the Senate voted 97-1 and the House of Representatives 348-77, meaning the bill becomes law.
Mr Obama told CNN the lawmakers had made "a mistake".
The president argued the bill could expose US companies, troops and officials to potential lawsuits abroad.
CIA Director John Brennan said the vote carried "grave implications" for national security, adding: "The downside is potentially huge."
The House and Senate unanimously passed the legislation, known as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism (JASTA), this year despite the Obama administration's lobbying efforts.
The bill amends a 1976 law that shields other countries from American lawsuits, allowing victims' families the right to sue any member of the Saudi government suspected of playing a role in the 9/11 attacks.
Mr Obama argued in his veto that the bill would undermine US-Saudi relations and warned of tit-for-tat lawsuits against US service members in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.
He told CNN on Wednesday: "It's a dangerous precedent and it's an example of why sometimes you have to do what's hard.
"And, frankly, I wish Congress here had done what's hard.
"If you're perceived as voting against 9/11 families right before an election, not surprisingly, that's a hard vote for people to take.
"But it would have been the right thing to do."
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters the vote was "the single most embarrassing thing the United States Senate has done" in decades.
But the measure's supporters contended the legislation only applies to acts of terrorism that have occurred on US soil.
"The White House and the executive branch (are) far more interested in diplomatic considerations," said Democratic New York Senator Chuck Schumer.
"We're more interested in the families and in justice."
Mr Obama has issued 12 vetoes during the two terms of his presidency, but until now none have been overridden.
Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid was the lone 'no' vote against the bill.
Democratic Senator Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton's running mate, and Senator Bernie Sanders did not vote.
Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals, but the oil-rich kingdom - a key US ally - has denied any role in the attacks, which left nearly 3,000 people dead.
While US intelligence raised suspicions about some of the hijackers' connections, no link has been proven to support claims that Saudi officials provided financial support to the suspects.


More than £220,000 will be used to renovate a 12th Century village church, even though it has just 19 registered members.

Myndtown Church, in Shropshire, has secured Heritage Lottery Fund money to restore the Grade II-listed building.
The plans will see £20,600 spent on the development phase, which will last up to one year, with another £202,500 earmarked for construction.
Reverend Norman Morris, rector of Myndtown, welcomed the news.
"Myndtown is one of a number of hill villages in Shropshire with tiny populations, and it's not got many parishioners, but it's got a lot of history," he said.
"It's in a wonderful position, it's got potential for walkers and cyclists to use it as a kind of centre, and a lot of people really value it."
The building work will provide Myndtown Church with a new roof, repairs to stonework, re-rendering of interior and exterior walls and underground drainage.
Local fundraisers had already raised £8,000 towards the restoration scheme.
John Burt, organiser of the project, thanked the Heritage Lottery Fund for the grant.
"Without them, it would have been impossible to raise so much money and the historic church would have been likely to close and fall into ruin," he said.
"I don't think you could justify necessarily spending that kind of money to keep open a small church with very few people attending, but I think the significance of the building goes beyond that.
"In Victorian times, when many churches were completely changed, this has been largely untouched - it's like a building from 800 years ago."


The UK is sending 250 more military personnel to Iraq, almost doubling its presence in the country.

Most of them will be going to Al Asad airbase in Anbar province, western Iraq, 100 miles west of Baghdad.
They include 50 trainers, 90 soldiers to protect the base and 30 to set up a headquarters. About 80 engineers will work on infrastructure for six months.
About 300 British personnel are already in the country helping to train Iraqi and Kurdish forces.
British forces will not be there to fight and will be confined to the limits of the base.
In a written statement to Parliament, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the deployment would add to the UK's "significant contribution" to the campaign against so-called Islamic State (IS, also known as Daesh).
"Our strike aircraft have now conducted around 900 air strikes against Daesh targets in Iraq and Syria and our intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft provide niche and highly-valued capabilities," he said.
"On the ground, our forces have helped to train more than 18,000 members of the Iraqi security forces, including Kurdish forces.
"As Iraqi forces continue to regain territory and begin preparatory operations to retake Mosul, it is important that the coalition continues to provide the support needed to allow them to make further progress."
BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale says that while the deployment has been planned for some time, Mr Fallon clearly hopes it will reassure nervous allies in the wake of the Brexit vote.
About 120,000 members of the British armed forces and civilians served in Iraq following the US-led invasion in 2003.
UK combat operations officially ended in April 2009. A total of 179 UK troops were killed.


Sutton United have signed former Leeds United and Plymouth Argyle midfielder Simon Walton on a two-year contract.

The 29-year-old was a free agent after leaving Sutton's fellow National League side Guiseley at the end of the season.
Manager Paul Doswell told the club website: "He's a quality holding midfielder who's equally comfortable at centre-half.
"He has a great passing range, will bring a winning mentality, and provides another leader in our dressing room."

Kylian Mbappe scored twice to take his Ligue 1 goal tally to nine in seven games as leaders Monaco beat Caen.

The 18-year-old striker, who has been called up to the France squad for the first time, put Monaco ahead in the 13th minute after a wonderful piece of skill, turning two defenders to score.
He won a penalty just after half-time, which was scored by Fabinho, before scoring with a header late in the game.
Monaco are three points clear of Paris St-Germain, who beat Lyon 2-1.
All the goals at the Parc des Princes came in the first half, with Adrien Rabiot and Julian Draxler scoring for PSG after Alexandre Lacazette had given the visitors a seventh-minute lead.
Nice drew 1-1 with Nantes on Saturday to stay third, four points behind Unai Emery's side.
Mbappe has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, including one in Monaco's midweek Champions League last-16 win over Manchester City.

Scotland beat a depleted but resilient Japan in Toyota City to go one-up in their two Test series, the second coming in Tokyo next Saturday.

Japan scored the opening try through Shota Horie, but their ruinous ill-discipline dynamited their chances.
A penalty try for the Scots came while Japan's Hendrik Tui was in the sin bin.
Tui was still off and had been joined by Rikiya Matsuda when Scotland got their second and last score, via a barrelling finish from WP Nel.
The unerring goal-kicking of Greig Laidlaw steered Scotland home, the captain landing 16 points in all.
Vern Cotter's side rarely looked convincing against a team shorn of seven of the men who created history by beating South Africa at the World Cup last year.
For Scotland, the beginning was grim, Alasdair Dickinson going off injured after just two minutes. Laidlaw calmed them soon after with his first penalty but the wheels came off in quick order.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The dogs in the street knew what Japan were going to try to do here. Any chance of introducing pace and fury to proceedings would be taken, any penalty that was tapable would be tapped and things would happen at breakneck speed.
That was the way of it when they won a penalty around halfway in the ninth minute and Scotland were not ready for it. Japan attacked in a blur, Amanaki Mafi roaring down the right and punching holes in the Scotland defence, then Harumichi Tatekawa following in the next wave.
It all ended with Scotland stretched and porous, Horie darting in under the posts for a try that was converted by Yu Tamura.
Scotland were jumpy for a spell. Stuart McInally overthrew at a lineout and the visitors looked weary. Their respite came in the guise of wretched Japanese discipline at the breakdown and their inability to hold Nel in the scrum.
They conceded six penalties in the opening 23 minutes - and 11 in the first 40 including those two costly yellow cards. Laidlaw booted Scotland into a 9-7 advantage before Tamura restored Japan's lead with a penalty of his own on the half-hour.

It was then that Japan's problems began in earnest.
Scotland got little change out of their lineout maul, but they did get a bonus of having Tui, Japan's blindside flanker, binned in trying to stop it. One yellow card became two when Matsuda walked after deliberately knocking-on a pass from Stuart Hogg to Tommy Seymour that would have seen the wing score in the corner.
Matsuda need not have bothered. Referee Ben O'Keeffe gave a penalty try in any event and Laidlaw added the extras.
Scotland made hay against the 13 men, Ruaridh Jackson's deft chip ahead at the start of the second half putting Japan in a hole they did not get out of until Nel had blasted his way through bodies to score Scotland's second try, converted from the touchline by Laidlaw.
Tamura made it 23-13 with a penalty soon after, Laidlaw negating it with a simple kick after a fine counter attack by Hogg, Sean Maitland and Duncan Taylor.
Scotland looked a tired team even by that point, midway through the second half. Japan got some ball and plenty of territory but could not break the tourists.

Fourteen-man Stade Francais claimed a remarkable win over Ospreys to earn a European Challenge Cup semi-final at home against Bath.

Wing Josaia Raisuqe was sent-off after receiving a second yellow card with 28 minutes remaining.
But quick tries by Raphael Lakafia and Julien Aria saw the French team open an 11-point lead.
Tyler Ardron's touchdown four-minutes from time gave Ospreys hope, but Stade survived a tense finish in Cardiff.
The French side had led at half-time after prop Zurabi Zhvania's try had come during Raisuge's time in the sin-bin.
Josh Matavesi's try early in the second half and a second Dan Biggar penalty after the Fijian wing's second yellow card offence saw Ospreys briefly in the lead by 14-11.
But a lack of composure and abject failure to exploit the extra man was the Welsh region's undoing.
Raisuqe was fortunate to be on the pitch long enough to receive a second yellow card, after being sent to the sin-bin for a stamp on his opposite number Keelan Giles in the first half.
But within two minutes of his eventual dismissal for the lesser crime of being offside at a ruck, Stade were ahead.
Jules Plisson's cross-field kick found Lakafia unmarked wide on the left wing to gather and touch down.
And when second row Hugh Pyle intercepted Sam Davies' pass he found Arias on his shoulder to score at the posts and the French side were 11 points to the good.
Ospreys will reflect on a try by Biggar early in the first half which was ruled out for a forward pass, but a creaking scrummage and cool-headed performances from Stade's Sergio Parisse and Will Genia saw them come up short.
It was Stade's first win away from home this season.
Ospreys' defeat means there are no Welsh teams left in either of Europe's knockout tournaments, while Bath face a tricky trip to France for their semi-final.
Ospreys coach Steve Tandy: "I think we probably deserved to win the game in large aspects but ultimately we've paid for some inaccuracies, not finishing off opportunities and a little bit of ill-discipline in the first half,
"At the back end I think there was enough time and opportunities to chase the game down but ultimately we weren't accurate enough and probably forced one or two things that we probably didn't need to."
Ospreys: Sam Davies; Keelan Giles, Ashley Beck, Josh Matavesi, Dan Evans; Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb; Nicky Smith, Scott Baldwin, Brian Mujati, Lloyd Ashley, Rory Thornton, Sam Underhill, Justin Tipuric, Dan Baker.
Replacements: Scott Otten, Paul James, Ma'afu Fia, Tyler Ardron, James King, Olly Cracknell, Kieron Fonotia, Tom Habberfield

The former Pakistan T20 captain has been named in the squad to face Gloucestershire at Bristol on Tuesday and Surrey at home on Wednesday.
Opening batsman Michael Carberry will be absent with a hand injury.
Hampshire have won one and lost one so far in the South Group of the One-Day Cup.


The UN's emergency Ebola response headquarters in Ghana's capital, Accra, is to close as the outbreak slows.

The head of the mission, Peter Graaff, met the Ghanaian president to thank the country for hosting the agency since it was set up in September last year.
A small team will stay until the end of June to co-ordinate air operations, the agency, known as Unmeer, said.
Ghana has not been affected by the epidemic in West Africa, which has killed more than 11,000 people.

Ebola basics: What you need to know
The BBC's Africa health correspondent Anne Soy says the mission set up its headquarters in Accra as it was far enough away from the affected countries, where there was logistical lockdown, but close enough the epicentre of the outbreak.
"By allowing us to set up our headquarter in Accra, President [John ] Mahama demonstrated extraordinary leadership and solidarity," Mr Graaff said in a statement.
"He made Ghana the only open gateway to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone thus allowing the movement of thousands of Ebola responders and medical and essential supplies when they were most needed."
As a result, Unmeer said Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone now had the necessary response capabilities in place to efficiently test, treat and isolate Ebola patients.

Deaths - probable, confirmed and suspected
(Includes one in the US and six in Mali)
4,806 Liberia

President Mahama said the downsizing of Unmeer was a sign of success for "short and sharp interventions".
Most of the mission's staff and assets have been moved to Sierra Leone and Guinea, where 24 new cases of Ebola were reported in the last week.
Last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Liberia free of Ebola as the country had had no new cases in 42 days.

Emailing has held on to the top spot as the most common internet activity in Britain, despite the continued rise of social media, a survey has found.

Some 82% of adults say they most often use the web for email, the Office for National Statistics reported - a rise of three percentage points since 2016.
Finding information on goods and services came second, at 71%, followed by social networking at 66%.
Internet use on mobile devices also continues to rise, the ONS said.
The findings are part of an annual survey of internet habits, covering more than 2,500 respondents across Great Britain, which found people were using the internet more for a range of everyday activities.
It suggested the proportion reading online news or magazines this year was up four percentage points at 64%, and had tripled since 2007.
Internet banking was found to have increased from 30% to 63% in the last decade, and social networking had gained 21 points since 2011 - the earliest year for which figures are available.
The proportion of adults who shopped online was static at 77%, with sports goods and clothes still the most common purchases.
However, there was a tail-off among some groups of shoppers.
The proportion of those aged 25 to 34 shopping online fell from 93% in 2016 to 89% this year.
And there was a slight drop among 55 to 64-year-olds to 75%, although that is still about a third more than in 2008.
Overall, the number of households that has an internet connection has hit 90% after a 1% rise since 2016.
Of those without access, about two-thirds said they felt the internet was "not useful or interesting", although a fifth said they lacked the skills to use the web.
Meanwhile the proportion of all adults accessing the internet via mobiles was 78% - up from 75% in 2016 and 61% in 2011.


The Iraqi army, Shia militias and Kurdish Peshmerga have joined forces to try to free the town of Amerli in northern Iraq, local sources say.

Some 15,000 minority Shia Turkmen in Amerli have been under siege by Islamic State (IS) militants for two months.
The UN called for urgent action last week to stop a massacre in the town, which lies in Kurdish-controlled Iraq.
Islamic State jihadists have been accused of atrocities in areas of Iraq and Syria under their control.
The Shia Turkmen are seen as apostates by the IS militants.
The BBC's Jim Muir, in the city of Irbil, says the combined forces are mounting an assault on two fronts in the Salahuddin Kurdish area in northern Iraq.
Kurdish Peshmerga fighters are said to be west of Tuz Khurmatu, which lies just north of Amerli, while Iraqi army units and Shia militia are approaching Amerli from the south.
The operation is backed by the Iraqi Air Force which is providing some cover on the southern approach, but there has been no back-up by US forces, local sources told our correspondent.
The operation is reported to have two objectives: to break the siege of Amerli and to reopen the main highway leading north from Baghdad.
The road is currently blocked by Islamic State forces.
Meanwhile reports from Syria say that hundreds of Yazidi women, another Iraqi minority, have been sold and distributed as wives among militant fighters in Syria.
The women who were abducted during recent attacks by IS in Iraq are said to have been transported to Syria after being forced to convert to Islam.
At least 27 of them were sold to IS members for marriage, according to the UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The US had supported Iraqi and Kurdish forces with air strikes against IS militants to retake the strategically important Mosul Dam earlier in August, but has since scaled back its military operation after President Obama admitted there was no defined US strategy yet in Iraq.


Historian and political newcomer Gudni Johannesson has won Iceland's presidential election.

The final count showed 39% of Icelanders voted for him, putting him ahead of a former prime minister and central bank governor.
Mr Johannesson, 47, had told supporters he would try to be a unifying force.
The poll came amid anger at the elite, some of whom were alleged to hold offshore accounts in the Panama Papers tax evasion investigation.
The scandal forced the resignation of Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson.
Voices from Iceland
Panama Papers Q&A: What is the scandal about?
Iceland's presidency is a largely ceremonial post.
However, during campaigning Mr Johannesson - who says he has never been a member of a political party - also called for a constitutional clause allowing citizen-initiated referendums over parliamentary bills.
He said this would ensure the nation always had the final say over the biggest issues affecting it.
As the election took place, about 10% of the island's population was thought to be in France watching the country's footballers at Euro 2016.
Mr Johannesson said his first task as president would be to fly to France, to cheer on the team in their second-round match against England on Monday.
The Icelandic consulate in France flew ballot papers to the football team's hotel in Annecy so that the players could vote on Saturday.
However there were no such arrangements for Icelandic fans in France and that could mean a voter turnout of under 65%, low for the Nordic nation, local reports said.
Mr Johannesson is an expert on political history, diplomacy and the constitution, and has not said which political party he supports.
He says he is an ordinary father who likes to read, jog and play football and has also translated four books by US horror writer Stephen King.


Russell Knox posted a one-under-par 70 despite wild weather conditions to end day two of The Open as top Scot.

The Inverness-born golfer's overall total of level par looked like it would make him the only home player to make the weekend.
But a late shift of the cut to four over means Colin Montgomerie and Paul Lawrie also progress.
Richie Ramsay, Marc Warren and Sandy Lyle will not be involved on Saturday and Sunday.
American Phil Mickelson continues to lead the way on 10 under, closely followed by Sweden's Henrik Stenson on nine under par.
Weather conditions definitely favoured those on the half of the draw that teed off in the afternoon on Thursday and the morning on Friday.
Knox bogeyed the second hole on Friday, but birdies at the fourth, fifth and 10th put his score in the red.
"A shot under par on a day where it was pouring rain round an Open Championship course - quite pleased," the 31-year-old told BBC Scotland.
"The conditions were really tough, especially as we made the turn there on the hardest holes in the course, the rain was pounding, and it was windy.
"It was challenging, but at least it wasn't cold.
"I played well yesterday. I hit a lot of good shots and the bad ones I hit I got severely punished for.
"That wasn't the case today; it was nice to maybe get a couple good breaks."
It was a double bogey at the 11th hole that put a spanner in the works of Montgomerie's round after the Royal Troon member had made par at every hole in his front nine.
Further bogeys at the 15th and 18th appeared to punish him with an early exit until the cut changed from three over to four over.
European Ryder Cup vice-captain Lawrie was another to benefit from that following a three-over round of 74 that included five bogeys and two birdies.
Ramsay fell one stroke short of further involvement and, despite two birdies in his opening four holes, Warren also faded on the back nine to fall back to 11 over par overall.
Lyle's second round of 78 was seven strokes fewer than Thursday's poor 85, but the 1985 Open winner finished on 21 over par.


A man has been arrested in connection with the attempted abduction of a 10-year-old girl in Glasgow.

The girl had been playing in a garden in the Carntyne area of the city at 19:00 on Thursday.
A Police Scotland spokesman said officers had attended after receiving a report of a man acting suspiciously towards a child.
"A 40-year-old man has been arrested and is subject to a report to the procurator fiscal," he said.


The risks to global financial stability have risen, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said.

In a new report, the IMF says that countries that export oil and other commodities have been severely affected.
Some emerging economies have been hit by sharp moves in the global currency markets.
And the report says financial stability is still not "fully grounded" in the rich countries.
"Risks to the global financial system have risen since October and have rotated to parts of the financial system where they are harder to assess and harder to address," said Jose Vinals, financial counsellor at the IMF.
The IMF acknowledges that recent declines in the prices of oil and other commodities are on balance helpful for global economic prospects.
But they create a major challenge for countries and firms that export them.
It says the strains in debt repayment capacity are apparent for oil and gas businesses in Argentina, Brazil, South Africa and Nigeria.
Debt servicing is also a concern for governments reliant on oil revenues such as Nigeria and Venezuela. Many other major oil exporters have sufficient reserves to enable them to cope with lower prices for some time.
Other developing nations, those that import commodities, do however benefit from these lower prices
Movements in the currency markets have also hit some emerging countries. The rise in the value of the dollar increases the repayment burden for firms and governments that have borrowed in the US currency. Some have also faced significant outflows of capital.
There is also a warning that there could be more of that when the US Federal Reserve starts to raise interest rates, which is expected later this year.  It might happen smoothly, but the report says there is a danger that it might spark more volatility.
The report also says that there's a danger of property price declines in some countries, especially in China, which could spill over to emerging countries more widely.
In the rich countries very low interest rates - welcomed by the IMF for their economic benefits - do nonetheless pose some financial issues. Some European life insurers could struggle and low rates are reflected in more financial risk taking as investors seek better returns.
Some elements of this picture of rising risks reflects the aftermath of the financial crisis. The low interest rates in the rich countries, for example are part of the response to the economic damage, but they do create new risks.
The rising dollar is, indirectly, the result of the more rapid post-crisis rebound in the US compared with continental Europe.  Six-and-a-half years on from the most intense phase of the crisis, its long shadow remains.
Still, the IMF does see some more encouraging developments. In particular economic growth is expected to be slightly higher this year and next, which would tend to promote financial stability.


Aaron Mooy has quit St Mirren ahead of a return to his native Australia.

The Paisley club have received the 21-year-old midfielder's signed release papers and expect him to join A-League club West Sydney.
Mooy signed for the Buddies in October 2010 after compensation was agreed with Bolton Wanderers and made 30 appearances for the Buddies.
This move will give Aaron the opportunity to play more first-team football
The Sydney-born under-23 international joined the English club from the New South Wales Institute of Sport in 2006.
St Mirren general manager Brian Caldwell told the Scottish Premier League club's website: "This move will give Aaron the opportunity to play more first-team football, which he really needs at this stage of his career.
"He has been in the UK for the last six years, so I'm sure he will be glad to get back home to Australia, where he will look to push on with his career.
"We would like to thank Aaron for his efforts while here at St Mirren and to wish him all the best for the future."
Mooy has been capped at under-20 and under-23 level and was called into the senior Australia squad in August 2009 for a friendly against Republic of Ireland but did not play.
However, he made only 12 appearances this season for St Mirren, his last coming as a late substitute in a 2-0 home defeat by Hearts in the Scottish Cup.
His one goal this term came in a 2-1 win over Rangers in December.


Evidence of a prehistoric "farming collective" has been discovered after aerial laser scanning was carried out in the South Downs National Park.

Large-scale farming from before the Roman invasion suggests a high level of civilisation, archaeologists said.
The survey also revealed the route of a long-suspected Roman road between Chichester and Brighton.
It covered an area between the Arun river valley in West Sussex and Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Hampshire.
The "Lidar" survey technique uses an aircraft-mounted laser beam to scan the ground and produce a 3D model of features that survive as earthworks or structures in open land or woodland.
Images of land between Lamb Lea Woods and Charlton Forest showed that a field system already protected as a scheduled monument was just a small part of a vast swathe of later pre-historic cultivation extending under a now wooded area.
James Kenny, archaeological officer at Chichester District Council, said it suggested a civilisation closer to ancient Greece, Egypt or Rome than what is known of prehistoric Britain.
"One of our biggest findings is the discovery of a vast area farmed by pre-historic people on an astonishing scale," said Trevor Beattie, chief executive of the South Downs National Park Authority,
Mr Kenny added that the evidence raised questions about who was growing the crops, who was eating the food and where they were living.
"The scale is so large that it must have been managed, suggesting that this part of the country was being organised as a farming collective," he said.
The route of the road suggests the Romans would have headed out from their settlement at Chichester on Stane Street, the road to London, before branching east towards Arundel.
"The recognition of the 'missing link' in the Roman road west of Arundel was a highlight in a project full of exciting results," said Helen Winton, aerial investigation manager at Historic England.


First Minister Carwyn Jones has rejected the idea that members of the Welsh assembly should block Brexit.

The Welsh Labour leader said if politicians tried to ignore the referendum vote it would only "worsen this current political crisis".
But Mr Jones said: "We will not support anything that damages Wales."
It follows Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's claim that MSPs could challenge Brexit in Scotland.
He said: "Clearly Wales and Scotland voted differently on Thursday, and if there is one thing that could worsen this current political crisis it would be for politicians to ignore the democratic decision taken last week.
"However, there is a vast and complex process ahead, and I made clear my intention to ensure that Welsh Government will be involved at every step of the way to protect Welsh interests."
Earlier Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies said the UK's deal to leave the EU may depend on approval from the UK's parliaments and assemblies.
Mr Davies, who campaigned for Vote Leave, said Brexit could also depend on people's verdict at a general election.
"Ultimately it will be for the deal to be put before the legislatures and parliaments and assemblies of the UK and it could be that there is a general election in 2020 that would determine it by a vote of the whole country," he told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme.
Labour AM Baroness Morgan, on the same programme, warned against pressing ahead too quickly on leaving the EU because "we've got a long way before this plays out".
"We've got two years before we get to the end of that negotiation," she told the programme.
"I think the European Union will look like a very different place within two years.
"I think there's issues like the free movement of people which will now be put on the table within the European Union."
While a majority in both Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU, majorities in Wales and England preferred to leave.


Teachers would have to be licensed every few years in order to work in England's state schools under a future Labour government, the BBC has learned.

Shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said regular re-licensing of teachers would allow the worst ones to be sacked whilst helping others to receive more training and development.
The last government made a similar proposal for what became known as "classroom MOTs" but then dropped it.
Unions criticised it as "pointless".
The Conservatives said they had already taken steps to improve teaching standards.
When former schools secretary Ed Balls proposed a so-called "licence to practise" in 2009, the National Union of Teachers said it would be "another unnecessary hurdle" for teachers while the Association of Teachers and Lecturers said it would be a "bureaucratic nightmare" to introduce.
But the NASUWT and National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) came out in favour of the plans at the time.
At the moment teachers are not licensed.
Indeed, Labour and the Liberal Democrats have criticised the fact that some of those working in the government's new "free schools" can teach without having "qualified teacher status".
Tristram Hunt told the BBC the idea was about recognising the "enormously important" role that teachers played and helping the profession "grow".
"Just like lawyers and doctors they should have the same professional standing which means relicensing themselves, which means continued professional development, which means being the best possible they can be," he said.
"If you're not a motivated teacher - passionate about your subject, passionate about being in the classroom - then you shouldn't really be in this profession.
"So if you're not willing to engage in relicensing to update your skills then you really shouldn't be in the classroom," he added.
Although the "devil would be in the detail", the NUT said it could potentially be a positive development.
"If this turned out to be a continuation of the Michael Gove denigration of teachers a top-down judgemental prescription of how teachers teach it would be very negative," said union official Kevin Courtney.
"But if relicensing were truly based on a new entitlement to high-quality professional development that was controlled by the teacher profession then we could talk about the details of how to improve it.
"It could be very positive for education."
However, NUT general secretary Christine Blower added: "There will be a good many teachers who will just see this as another hurdle."
Ian Fenn, the head teacher of Burnage Media Arts College in Manchester, told BBC Breakfast that in principle he would welcome the licensing plan.
But he warned: "If it's going to be a test, that would be absolutely the wrong way to go about it - we're not cars, we don't need an MoT."
The largest teaching union NASUWT said "important preconditions" needed to be met before the move could be introduced.
And Chris Keates, the union's general secretary, hit out at commentators for hijacking any debate about how to improve the profession and turning it into an attempt to "root out incompetent teachers".
"No group of workers, least of all teachers, deserves to be treated in this way," she said.
Labour plans to consult with the unions on how a new system of licensing might be made more acceptable to them.
The assessments would be continuous, based in the classroom and would involve external assessors and not just school staff. Re-licensing of teachers could take place every seven or nine years and not five as under the Balls plan.
A newly strengthened Royal College of Teaching could be used to issue and supervise the licences.
There have been calls from across the political spectrum for the creation of a new professional body like the General Medical Council which would be separate from both the unions and the government.
Labour is hoping to use this announcement to claim it is interested in classroom standards while the Conservatives are, instead, focusing on school structures.
They also want to show that they are willing to stand up to the unions.
The coalition has recently introduced annual appraisals for doctors supervised by the General Medical Council. They face a decision every five years on whether they can continue to practice.
A Conservative Party spokesman said the party would look at any proposals which would genuinely improve the quality of teaching.
"We have already taken action by allowing heads to remove teachers from the classroom in a term, as opposed to a year previously, and scrapping the three-hour limit on classroom observations.
"We are improving teacher training, expanding Teach First and allowing heads to pay good teachers more. Thanks to our reforms, a record proportion of top graduates are entering the profession.
"Fixing the schools system so young people have the skills they need is a key part of our long-term economic plan. That will mean better schools for our communities and a better education for young people who want to get on," he said.


Labour leadership candidate Andy Burnham visited Wales for the second time in a week to campaign in Swansea.

The former health secretary, who was in Wrexham last Sunday, held a question-and-answer session at Penlan Social Club.
He has promised more freedom for Welsh Labour and devolution that "holds us together as a United Kingdom".
Yvette Cooper, Jeremy Corbyn and Liz Kendall are also in the battle to be crowned Labour leader in September.
Speaking on Saturday, he said: "I am for the second time in a week in Wales because of the importance of Wales to our party, both [in the] past but also looking to the future.
"We've got the Holyrood elections and Welsh assembly elections next year so Wales and Scotland will be very big in our immediate plans going forward."
Mr Burnham has said Labour has been "too out of touch with its grassroots" and has pledged to do "whatever I can" to hold the party together.
Several senior Labour figures have claimed the party faces years out of power if Mr Corbyn is elected leader, although the veteran left-winger has the support of more constituency parties than any other candidate.


In 2005, 15-year-old Holly Colvin became England's youngest Test cricketer, and her first contribution was to help win the Women's Ashes for the first time in 42 years.

Ten years on, with the Women's Ashes series getting under way in Taunton next week, the 25-year-old left-arm spinner, who is currently taking a break from international cricket, looks back at the magic of 2005 and reflects on her other Ashes memories.
1. Did you dream of playing for England in the Ashes and how did you feel on your Ashes debut?
If I'm honest, I didn't really dream of playing for England because by the time I realised it was a possibility I was making my debut at 15. I'd only seen England play an international for the first time the year before.
My Ashes debut was a little bit of a freak incident in that I was practising in the nets at Hove, as a net bowler for the England team, the day before - and based on that, got picked to play the following day! I had no idea who my opposition was, ie the greats like Belinda Clark, Lisa Keightley and Cathryn Fitzpatrick, so I wasn't that nervous. For me it was just another game of cricket with a slightly bigger crowd!
2. Champagne Ashes moment?
Taken quite literally, it has to be on the open top buses riding around central London after the 2005 win - the few bits of TV coverage you saw of me showed me swigging straight from a champagne bottle! It was a day I will never forget, which I will cherish for the rest of my life.
3. Most important bowling spell?
I would say my best bowling spell was actually on debut at Hove in 2005. Given the context of how young and inexperienced I was, to be on a hat-trick ball was something special.
4. Best innings or bowling spell that you saw from a team-mate or opponent?
There have been a lot of stand-out performances over the years but I think there are two that really shine amongst the rest. One was Heather Knight's 157 at Wormsley in the 2013 Test - she just made batting look so simple. It was an absolute pleasure to watch.
The other was Isa Guha's nine wickets in Bowral in 2008. I've never seen someone more fired up - she won us the game.
5. Favourite Ashes ground and why?
Probably Bowral, because winning away from home was a massive achievement. An added bonus was that the changing room walls were really thin, so singing and dancing at the end of the Test, knowing the Aussies could hear us was even better!
6. Fiercest Ashes opponent?
Cathryn Fitzpatrick has to be up there as the fiercest opponent I've ever encountered. I actually got her out on my Test debut and I was a little worried because I thought she would want payback when she bowled at me. When it came to our innings, unfortunately (or fortunately?!) I was run out just as she was warming up to come back on (not on purpose). She would bound in from basically the boundary rope and put everything into every ball - even on day four of a Test.
7. Most memorable Ashes match?
I would say my debut, but that feels like such a blur now. I think the moment I will always remember is at the Ageas Bowl in 2013, when Lydia Greenway steered us to victory in the second Twenty20 international. The Aussie captain Jodie Fields just had no idea where to put the fielders, it was a masterclass. What made it so special was the fact we didn't have a good record at the Ageas Bowl in recent times and the fact we had won the Ashes with a game to spare! It ended up being my last Ashes series so it will always be one I will take with me.
8. Ashes moment you would like to forget?
The Ashes moment I would like to forget is seeing Heather Knight doing the splits at Durham in 2013, injuring her hamstring. When Heather hobbled off the pitch the only position she could stay in that didn't hurt as much was lying down! I had to comfort her by giving her a running commentary of the game and tried to add a bit of humour in there... I think she was mainly laughing at me than with me, but it did the job.
9. Best celebration you have seen in an Ashes match?
A personal celebration that I will always remember was Isa Guha celebrating the wicket of Karen Rolton lbw for four runs. She did her own lap of honour as if we had just won the Test match! The whole team had to chase her around the boundary to celebrate with her.
In terms of team celebrations, there is always a good sing and dance in the changing room afterwards. But there was a particularly memorable bus journey up to Gatwick after we had already retained the Ashes in Southampton in 2013 and were due to fly to Durham the next day. Put it this way, there was some serious karaoke on the bus and coach Paul Shaw's Elvis impression is legendary!
10. Who will win this summer's Ashes?
I think England are as strong as they have ever been, but we all know what tough competitors Australia are. The ODI and T20 sides are pretty evenly matched, so whoever wins the Test match will win the Ashes.


Legend has it that 8,000 years ago wine was first invented in the small country of Georgia.

Today, wine remains an important part of both the Georgian economy, and the Caucasus nation's sense of identity, with thousands of winemakers together typically producing more than 100 million bottles a year.
Back on 27 June, many corks were popped for a celebratory drink when crowds of people took to the streets of the capital Tbilisi to celebrate Georgia signing a free trade agreement with the European Union.
The deal means that from 1 September, Georgian produce and products which meet EU standards will no longer be liable for tariffs when imported by EU member states.
For Georgia's winemakers, predominantly family-run businesses, their wines should become more widely available in Europe - and at slightly reduced prices.
"It means that we will be on equal level with other competitors," says Irakli Cholobargia, head of marketing for the Georgian government's National Wine Agency (NWA).
The NWA calculates that EU importers of its wine had to pay a total 367,823 euros ($488,109; Â£294,421) in tariffs last year, which will soon be removed.
Malkhaz Jakeli, who runs the Jakeli winery in Georgia's Kakheti region, says that thanks to the free trade agreement he expects to boost exports to the EU.
"I think it will be easier for importers in the EU [without the tariffs]," he says.
He also says that increased sales to the EU will inevitably boost the quality of Georgian wine, as winemakers have to compete more with producers from other countries.
For Georgia's wine producers, the opening up of the EU market will also give them a stronger insurance policy against any future problems with their largest export market - Russia.
Russia has traditionally always been the biggest buyer of Georgian wine, but exports stopped overnight in back in 2006 when Moscow introduced a ban.
More than 400 different indigenous grape varieties - a greater diversity than any other country
The wines were traditionally fermented in large clay jars called kvevri, which were placed underground over winter
In terms of volume, it is the second largest wine producer in the former Soviet Union after Moldova
All types of wines are made - white, red, rose, sweet, sparkling, fortified
There are 18 main wine-producing areas
The Kremlin said the embargo on Georgian wine was due to quality concerns, but it was widely seen as a political move, as a means for punishing the then Georgian government for making overtures to join Nato.
Matters were not helped - to say the least - two years later when Georgia and Russia fought a short war after Georgian troops invaded the Russian-backed breakaway region of South Ossetia.
Russian imports of Georgian wine did not eventually resume until 2013, seven years after the ban started.
While Russia is now once again importing Georgian wine in vast quantities - 17 million bottles in the first six months of this year, 66% of total exports during the period - Georgia wants to build up other markets.
For although there is now hesitant consensus that Georgia is unlikely to see any immediate backlash from Russia for signing the EU free trade agreement, some Georgians remain concerned that Russian barriers could go up again in the future.
NWA chairman Levan Davitashvili says: "We want to diversify our market structure. We have to be less dependent on Russia."
The biggest EU importers of Georgian wine are Poland and the Baltic states, and those countries are where Mr Davitashvili is hopeful of seeing a big rise in sales.
By contrast, he does not expect to see increased penetration in western Europe, because he says "the space is already occupied" by wine produced within the EU.
However, Eric Livny, an economist at Tbilisi State University, says most Georgian wine producers will continue to focus on Russia, because of the enduring popularity of Georgian wine among Russian consumers.
"Georgian wine exports go to Russia with very little effort... simply because Georgia has an established brand in Russia. In Europe it's an uphill battle."
In the wider agricultural sector, which accounts for half of Georgia's labour market, and is again dominated by family run farms, there are both hopes and concerns about the implications of the EU deal.
Nino Zambakhidze, chairman of the Georgian Farmers Association, a group of 900 farmers from across the country, says some members are concerned about the costs of getting the internationally-recognised quality certification which is required before they can start exporting to the EU.
Yet she says the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
"If we deliver proper information and messages to the farmers, and at the same time, if a lot of business-orientated people move to rural regions in order to make businesses and work with farmers, it's going to give us the opportunity to enter the EU market without any problem," says Ms Zambakhidze.
"The most important thing we'll get from the EU is their education, and the new technologies that the EU uses with their farmers."
Ms Zambakhidze is herself also hoping to start exporting to the EU from next year in her day job as co-owner of the Tsnisi Dairy Plant, near the city of Akhaltsikhe.
The dairy currently produces 500kg (1,100lb) of Georgian cheese per day.
Another Georgian small businessman with his eyes firmly on exports to the EU is Irakli Partsvania, who is planting what he says will be Europe's largest blueberry farm.
Mr Partsvania currently has 70 hectares (172 acres) of blueberries, but is in the process of adding a further 450.
"Georgia is a very small market, so from the start we were talking and thinking about the supply of the European and American markets," he says.
So far Mr Partsvania has already harvested one crop of blueberries, of which he exported 10% of the 75 tonnes to the EU, including two tonnes which went to the UK.
With tariffs about to be removed, he plans to substantially increase what he sends to the EU.


The detective who failed to follow arrest guidelines in a double murder case in Wiltshire has resigned.

Det Supt Steve Fulcher did not caution taxi driver Christopher Halliwell when he led the police officer to the grave of Becky Godden in 2011.
Halliwell was not charged over her death, but was found guilty of murdering Sian O'Callaghan.
After an inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) the officer was allowed to keep his job.
The detective was given a final written warning following a three-day private hearing.
Mr Fulcher was found guilty of breaching police guidelines for arrests and a second charge relating to contact with the media.
Miss Godden was last seen alive by a police officer in Swindon in December 2002.
Taxi driver Halliwell was jailed for life in 2012 for the murder of Sian O'Callaghan the previous year.
Miss Godden's mother Karen Edwards said: "It's really going to be such a waste of an extremely experienced detective who I know has solved so many crimes."
She added that she hoped he would be employed by another force and it was a sign that arrest guideline rules had to be changed.
Ms Edwards added: "Had he have followed the guidelines, then Becky would never have been found, she would have never have come into the equation and Sian would have still have been where he moved her to.
"No-one would have found Sian in a million years where they found her, where he dumped her body.
"It was Steve Fulcher's experience. OK, he bent rules - but he bent them for good reason."
A bone belonging to Miss Godden was discovered at the Cotswold beauty spot where her remains were found earlier this month.
Wiltshire Police said the bone and "other items" were recovered as part of a re-investigation into Miss Godden's death but did not elaborate what they were.
Eamonn Caroll, assistant secretary of The Police Superintendents' Association, which previously supported Mr Fulcher, said it was not aware of the reasons behind his resignation.
"It is obviously a decision he has made. The association supported Steve Fulcher when he was under investigation by the IPCC and at his subsequent disciplinary hearing," he said.
"He was a dedicated police officer who had a lot to offer the police service.
"In light of his decision, we wish him well for the future."
Mr Caroll said Mr Fulcher had not been in contact with the association to inform them of his decision.


Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha provided the decisive cross on his Ivory Coast debut as the African champions beat Sweden 2-1 in an Africa Cup of Nations warm-up match on Sunday.

The former England international, who switched his allegiance to The Elephants ahead of their Nations Cup defence, came off the bench in Abu Dhabi to provide the perfect cross for Giovanni Sio who headed home a winner.
An own-goal from Wilfried Kanon had put Sweden ahead, with Yao Serge Nguessan equalising on the stroke of half-time.
24-year-old Zaha was born in Ivory Coast but has two England caps having played against Sweden in November 2012 and Scotland the following year.
As both were friendly matches, he was permitted to commit his international future to his country of birth.
The Ivorians have been preparing for the Nations Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
They will be heading to Gabon on Thursday and will play their opening Group C game on 16 January against Togo.
In other friendly internationals this weekend, Algeria were 3-1 winners over Mauritania; Burkina Faso beat Mali 2-1; Uganda defeated Slovakia 3-1; Senegal were 2-1 winners over Libya and Egypt recorded a rare victory over North African rivals Tunisia, winning 1-0.

The five-time world champion accused World Snooker of bullying after his first-round win at the World Championship on Sunday.
World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn has said the claims are "unfounded".
In a statement released on Tuesday, 41-year-old O'Sullivan said his legal team would address the issues at the end of the tournament at Sheffield's Crucible.
He also said he would make no further comment on the matter during the event, but would focus instead on winning a sixth world title.
"There has been some speculation and commentary around the answers I gave when questioned by the media at my press conference on Sunday.
"Any outstanding issues with the snooker authorities will be addressed by my legal team following the conclusion of this great event, when I hope a sensible resolution can be reached.
"I will not be making any further comment about this during the World Championships. I request the press and media respect this position in all further interviews.
"I wish to focus all my energies on performing to the very best of my ability for the fans in my quest for a sixth world title."


Funding of £13m has been awarded to compound semiconductor research - the technology behind smartphones, tablets and satellite communications.

The EU grant will help to build, equip and run a "state-of-the-art" clean room at Cardiff University's Institute for Compound Semiconductor.
Its research will be developed into new products and services.
The university said it would "generate prosperity in south Wales through industrial innovation".
The centre, set up by the university and St Mellons-based hi-tech company IQE in 2015, brings together scientists and businesses to work on innovations.
In January 2016, the then Chancellor George Osborne revealed plans to invest £50m in the "ground-breaking new innovation centre".


Plymouth substitute Connor Smith scored a late leveller as the League Two leaders held promotion rivals Portsmouth at Home Park.

Smith smashed home from 15 yards in the 89th minute, soon after Pompey sub Danny Rose had scored a 25-yard screamer in off the underside of the bar.
Plymouth's Yann Songo'o stooped to head the leaders ahead on 20 minutes, converting Graham Carey's in-swinging free-kick from the left touchline at the near post.
Argyle should have doubled their lead in the next attack, but Jordan Slew's close-range shot was scrambled off the line by Carl Baker.
Portsmouth levelled when Conor Chaplin swept past Nauris Bulvitis down the left and teed up the unmarked Kyle Bennett, whose first-time shot found the roof of the net.
Paul Cook's side started the 100th dockyard derby brightly and Argyle's opener came against the run of play.
Carey came closest to scoring midway through the second half, beating Portsmouth keeper David Forde with a dipping 20-yarder which came back off the crossbar.

The UN says it is appalled at a further 10-year prison sentence imposed by Iran on a prominent human rights activist, already serving six years in jail.

Nargis Mohammadi was found guilty of several different charges including "founding an illegal group".
Ms Mohammadi, who works closely with the Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi, had been campaigning against the death penalty in Iran.
Iranian officials have not commented on the sentence.
Ms Mohammadi was the vice-president of the banned Defenders of Human Rights Center.
It was founded by Shirin Ebadi, who left Iran after the disputed re-election of then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009, which was followed by protests and a harsh crackdown by authorities.
Supporters say Ms Mohammadi was sentenced in Tehran's Revolutionary Court on charges including planning crimes to harm the security of Iran, spreading propaganda against the government and forming and managing an illegal group.
If the sentences are upheld, she will have to serve at least 10 years on the most serious charge, as the Iranian penal code stipulates that those convicted of multiple charges serve the longest sentence.
The new sentence will be on top of the six-year sentence she is serving at the moment.
The office of the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said it was "appalled" by Ms Mohammadi's sentence.
"Her sentencing is illustrative of an increasingly low tolerance for human rights advocacy in Iran,'' it said in a statement.
The statement said Iran had reportedly denied Ms Mohammadi specialised medical care.
Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Director Philip Luther said Ms Mohammadi's sentence was "yet another chilling example of Iran's use of vaguely- worded national security charges to crack down on peaceful freedom of expression".
Amnesty also says the Iranian authorities have denied Ms Mohammadi contact with to her nine-year-old twin daughters.
The children have had to move abroad to live with their father as there was no-one to look after them in Iran.


Swedish furniture giant Ikea has escaped with a warning after drawing an advert extolling the virtues of tea on a pavement in Nottingham.

Shoppers on Nottingham's Market Street spotted the square sign which urged people to "enjoy a second cup of tea in the morning".
Nottingham City Council said it will issue a warning to the company rather than fine it for the "graffiti".
Ikea claimed approval is not required for "this type of marketing activity".
Another sign is also visible on the road which says: "Cross the road and walk on the sunny side."
The council told BBC Radio Nottingham it could legitimately fine the company but has chosen just to warn them.
"This is not something we would condone or give our permission for," a spokesman said.
"We view this as graffiti and will remove it and contact the company to explain that this is something that could result in a fine."
Ikea marketing manager Laurent Tiersen said the "clean graffiti" messages are being posted around the UK and Ireland as part of the launch of the company's "Wonderful Life" campaign.
Mr Tiersen said: "Clean graffiti is an environmentally friendly way to spread the word and is a commonly used advertising technique."
Reverse graffiti, another term for clean graffiti, is based on using water pressure washers to clean spaces on the streets using a stencil.
The graffiti tends to last for a few weeks, according to the firm.


Train drivers employed by Southern Railway and Gatwick Express are to be balloted for strikes, the union Aslef has said.

The move follows talks over the imposition of new rosters and a "breakdown in industrial relations".
Parent rail firm Govia Thameslink (GTR) is already in dispute with the RMT union over the role of guards on the Southern network.
GTR said it was a cynical and desperate attempt to heap misery on passengers.
The rail operator is currently running a reduced timetable to deal with ongoing disruption which it has blamed on crew shortages. The Aslef dispute is over the new timetable.
In a statement, Aslef said: "Ongoing issues in respect of discussions regarding the GTR's imposition of new rosters to facilitate the introduction of an emergency timetable remain unresolved.
"Aslef's executive committee consider that this amounts to a breakdown in industrial relations."
It said members would be balloted for strike action and action short of a strike with the ballot to close on 31 August.
But GTR passenger service director Angie Doll said: "Aslef members have been successfully operating this timetable for three weeks to deliver more reliable services for passengers and staff in the face of train crew shortages.
"To call a strike ballot against this timetable now is a cynical and desperate attempt to heap even more misery on passengers especially as we have met with Aslef on two occasions and have a further meeting with them next week on this specific issue."
The RMT is due to strike for five days from 8 August. Southern has said a "strike timetable" providing 60% of its normal services will be put in place if the action is not called off by Thursday afternoon, which is when two days of talks at Acas between the RMT and GTR are due to conclude.
That dispute is over new trains where the driver operates the doors using CCTV instead of guards, but the RMT has safety concerns and fears job losses.
In June, Aslef dropped legal action against the new trains and was also barred by the High Court from inducing GTR drivers to take industrial action.
Ms Doll said: "Twice Aslef has tried to block our plans to improve the railway and twice the courts have ruled their attempts unlawful."
A third union, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA), is balloting more than 250 station staff in a row over ticket office closures.
TSSA leader Manuel Cortes has said that ballot will start on 10 August and any action in September will be co-ordinated with "our sister rail unions to maximise the impact".
Commuters have staged protests in London and the South East over continued disruption on the Southern rail network.
In a separate development, commuters in Sussex and Surrey are also facing disruption by bus drivers and engineers in a row about alleged bullying.
The Unite union said 71.4% of its members at Brighton and Hove buses and Metrobus in Crawley have voted to walk out. The bus company said both sides were in talks to find a resolution.

The trial of a man accused of murdering a pensioner in the street has heard he "had no motive" to kill him.

Satnam Singh, 74, was found with serious injuries in a Derby street in July 2015 - opposite the Sikh temple where he volunteered.
Police initially thought he had been hit by a car but last year arrested 30-year-old Sukhraj Atwal for murder.
Mr Atwal denies the charge. His defence said there was a lack of "real evidence" and witnesses.
The prosecution has previously alleged Mr Singh - the defendant's former step-grandfather - was "brutally assaulted" over a long-running family dispute.
The trial at Nottingham Crown Court claimed Mr Atwal repeatedly stamped and jumped on Mr Singh in the early hours of 23 July.
The victim was found with 41 fractures to his ribs, lacerations to his heart, a fractured skull and severe brain damage.
The attack itself was not captured on CCTV but Mr Atwal's car was seen entering and leaving the area shortly before Mr Singh was found.
Defending barrister Shaun Smith, said the case was based on "half-baked theories" and "speculation".
"There is no footage of what happened," he added.
"There are no eye witnesses and when it comes to real evidence there's nothing.
"Nothing to place him at the scene on his footwear or his car, no-one to hear or see it [the attack], or hear cries of distress or see anyone run into a car."
He said although the victim and defendant lived just streets apart "they ignored and blanked one another" and "barely knew" each other.
Mr Atwal chose not to give evidence in court.
The trial continues.


The poignant Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red installation at HM Tower of London has been shortlisted for this year's South Bank Awards.

This year's award has been designed by Miriam Woolf, a 22-year-old student at The Glasgow School of Art.
Phil Edgar-Jones, Director of Sky Arts, said: "Arts and Culture in the UK and Ireland is as vibrant and exciting and popular (and fun) as it's ever been, and there really is no other awards event that celebrates the range, diversity and sheer brilliance of Arts talent across the spectrum.
"I am doubly thrilled this year that the award itself has been designed by a student from the Glasgow School of Art, recognising the great work the school has done over the years."

A £3.7m scheme aiming to cut congestion for motorists accessing the A19 near Stockton has been completed.

Work at the A19 A689 Wolviston Interchange near Wynyard began in May and has seen sliproads widened and the introduction of traffic lights.
The Highways Agency and Stockton Borough Council said the work should ease congestion.
It is the first of four such pinch point schemes to be completed in the North East.
Stockton Council's cabinet member for regeneration and transport Mike Smith, said: "Businesses in the north of our borough are continuing to develop and expand while the number of people living in the area is also growing so improvements to the road network are vital."

Welsh swimmer Jazz Carlin says she has belief she can win a medal at the Olympic Games.

The 25-year-old is Commonwealth champion and a former European double gold medallist.
Carlin will be making her Olympic debut in the 400m freestyle after missing out on Team GB selection four years ago.
"I need to have that belief in myself when I get on those blocks that I can fight against the best in the world and I can come out with a good performance," she said.
"Obviously we do a lot of hours of training and that gives me a lot of confidence.
"I've been training really well and putting in some really good times in training and I think that's really important for my confidence.
"It's the biggest event of my life and I'm going to make sure that I'm at my best. And if my best performance gets me on the podium then that will be an incredible feeling."
Carlin secured her place at Rio 2016 at the British trials in Glasgow in April but had to settle for silver in both the 400m and 800m freestyle  at May's European Championships in London.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Swindon-born Carlin did not qualify for London 2012 after suffering with glandular fever in the build-up to the Olympic trials.
She admits she came close to quitting the sport but has since claimed world, European and Commonwealth medals.
"It's been a stressful few years and to come out the other end and to say 'I'm going to Rio and I'm going to the Olympics' is an incredible feeling," Carlin told BBC Wales Sport.
"There were times where I nearly walked away from the sport and thinking 'why am I putting myself through this.'
"You put your body through hell day in day out but it's the mental thing of picking yourself up when you have the setbacks and feeling positive and enjoying the sport again.
"I had to find my love for the sport and my passion for it and I can finally say I've got all that back.
"I love what I do and I just love racing at the international stage and obviously the Olympics is the pinnacle of most athletes' career."


Ukraine's Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara and opposition leader Vitali Klitschko have clashed face to face at a security summit in Munich.

The two men appeared in a discussion, during which Mr Klitschko showed Mr Kozhara images of injuries he said were inflicted by the police on protesters.
Mr Kozhara suggested some of the opposition were right-wing extremists.
Ukraine has been in turmoil since November, when it scrapped an EU accord in favour of a Russian bailout.
"The Ukrainian people have shown and have proven that they are able to defend their decision on Europe despite repressive measures being taken," Mr Klitschko said, the Associated Press news agency reports.
He added that the opposition felt stronger because of the support from western friends of Ukraine.
Earlier, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy had said the "future of Ukraine belongs with the EU" while US Secretary of State John Kerry had said the US backed Ukraine's "fight for democracy".
By Lyse DoucetChief international correspondent
Tug of war over Ukraine
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had accused Western countries of double standards over violent protests.
After Mr Klitschko showed Mr Kozhara the images he said were of the effects of police brutality, Mr Kozhara replied by accusing some of the protesters of belonging to far-right groups.
"Are you with the extremist groups who wear some logos and emblems that looks like Nazi style emblems on them?" he asked Mr Klitschko.
"Are you with the extremists who are attacking the police with Molotov cocktails?" he added.
On the issue of whether Ukraine should orient itself more towards the EU or Russia, Mr Kozhara also pointed out that "there are eight million ethnic Russians living in the country".
"Do you think they are happy when European politicians say: 'You must make a strategic choice, you must take Ukraine away from Russia and put it somewhere else'?"
The issue of Ukraine protester Dmytro Bulatov was also raised at the conference.
He went missing for eight days and said he had been kidnapped and tortured by captors who spoke with Russian accents.
He is now in hospital in Kiev under guard from both police and anti-government demonstrators.
Mr Kozhara told Al-Jazeera television; "Physically this man is in a good condition. The only thing he has is a scratch on one of his cheeks."
He went on to say it seemed that his claim to have been kidnapped and tortured was "not absolutely true".
However, the foreign ministry later issued a statement saying his comments "do not reflect the real attitude of Minister Kozhara on this tragic situation".
"The minister is profoundly sorry for what happened to Dmytro Bulatov and wishes him a speedy recovery.
The Munich security conference is an annual event held to discuss military and political affairs.
Mr Van Rompuy's opening speech referred to the EU's offer of close association with Ukraine.
"The offer is still there and we know time is on our side. The future of Ukraine belongs with the European Union," he said.
On Saturday, Mr Kerry met Ukraine opposition leaders including Mr Klitschko and Arseniy Yatsenyuk, as well as Leonid Kozhara.
He told reporters: "Nowhere is the fight for a democratic, European future more important today than in Ukraine. The United States and EU stand with the people of Ukraine in that fight."
In an apparent swipe at Moscow, he added that "their futures do not have to lie with one country alone, and certainly not coerced".
Mr Lavrov said that a "choice is being imposed [on Ukraine] and Russia is not going to be engaged in this".
The White House has confirmed it is discussing possible sanctions against Ukraine with the US Congress.
Before arriving in Munich, Mr Kerry said that concessions from President Viktor Yanukovych had "not yet reached an adequate level of reform".
Mr Yatsenyuk, who heads the Batkivshchyna party, recently refused an offer from President Yanukovych to become PM, one of the concessions.
President Yanukovych, who is currently on sick leave, has also tried to ease the crisis by repealing anti-protest laws, signing an amnesty for protesters and accepting the resignation of his cabinet.
However, opposition leaders are calling for his resignation and early elections.
