A vicar and his daughter have been bailed after their arrests on suspicion of murdering a baby.

The Reverend James Percival, 64, of Holy Trinity Church in Freckleton, and daughter Ruth, 28, were also arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child.
His wife Susan, 65, was also arrested on suspicion of concealing a birth.
Lancashire Police said three people have been bailed until 5 March. A post-mortem examination was inconclusive.
A police spokesman said: "The 64-year-old man and 28-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of murder and conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child and the 65-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child have all been bailed until 5 March 2015."
Further tests to establish how the baby died will be carried out.
Police arrested the vicar and his daughter on Tuesday after reports of a woman giving birth to a stillborn baby boy on 25 November.


Four men were arrested in north London when police found a gun, a sword and a knife in the car they were travelling in.

Officers were called to Derby Road, Enfield at 15:30 GMT on Saturday after reports of a gun being seen in a car.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the reported car was stopped at 16:00 GMT and the four men inside were arrested.
They are currently being held at a north London police station.


Two 'wheelyboats' are set to be launched on a Flintshire river on  Saturday - making it easier for disabled people to take to the waters.

They Quay Watermen's Association runs excursions on the River Dee including school trips and bird watching.
It secured a Â£192,000 grant from the Big Lottery's Coastal Community Fund in 2015, with Â£70,000 going towards the new boats.
The 30mph vessels will be based at Connah's Quay.
They are designed to make it easier for passengers in wheelchairs and other disabled people to get on board.


Non-league Gloucester City will continue to share Cheltenham Town's Whaddon Road stadium next season.

The Blue Square Bet North club's Meadow Park ground was destroyed by flood water in 2007.
They have been based in Cheltenham since 2010, having previously shared with Forest Green and Cirencester.
Gloucester City's Meadow Park stadium was decimated by flood water in 2007. Since then the non-league club have ground shared with Forest Green, Cirencester and Cheltenham Town, where they currently reside.
Plans for a new stadium at the Meadow Park site were submitted to Gloucester City Council in 2011, but have yet to be approved.
The Tigers were paying £40,000 a year for the groundshare, and were recently threatened with eviction after failing to meet payments.
The debts have since been cleared, but the Robins have confirmed the new agreement has been amended in the light of their difficulties to "further protect Cheltenham".
Robins chairman Paul Baker said: "It is a good commercial arrangement for Cheltenham Town, especially in a difficult economic climate where the generation of sponsorship and other commercial income has been to say the least challenging.
"I personally get on very well with Nigel Hughes [Gloucester City chairman] and was quietly confident that we would be able to move forward in a positive way for the benefit of both clubs."
Gloucester have been struggling with financial problems and earlier this month issued an appeal for £25,000 in order to stay afloat until the end of the season.
The players and backroom staff subsequently agreed to defer their wages to help with their cash flow issues.
Plans for a new stadium for the Tigers at the Meadow Park site were submitted to Gloucester City Council in 2011, but have yet to be approved.
It was revealed at an open meeting on Monday that the plans have been "scaled back" to reduce the complexity of the project, and the club hope new proposals will be submitted in April.


A Russian contract for building a bridge to Crimea has gone to a company majority-owned by a friend of Vladimir Putin who is under Western sanctions.

The $3bn (Â£2bn) contract was awarded to the SGM Group, owned by Arkady Rotenberg, a childhood friend and judo partner of the Russian president.
The bridge will join Russia directly to the peninsula it annexed from Ukraine in March after a disputed referendum.
It will be pipeline specialist SGM's first bridge, Reuters news agency says.
It is still unclear where on the Kerch Strait the structure will be erected, meaning the span could be anything from 4km to 15km (2.5 to 9 miles).
Announcing the contract in a statement, Russia's transport ministry said the bridge should be finished by the end of 2018.
Currently, Crimea is connected to Russia by sea and by air, while land routes through Ukraine have been affected by the conflict in its eastern provinces.
The annexation of the peninsula sparked sanctions on Russia by the EU, US and their allies and Mr Rotenberg was one of the first Russian businessmen to be put under Western visa bans and asset freezes.
In an interview with Russian daily Kommersant, Arkady Rotenberg welcomed the contract but said it would probably be his last project.
"At 63 I think more about what should be left behind, what will be the results of life," he said.
"Moreover, I long planned to gradually stop running businesses... But the bridge project came along and I decided it was very important to carry it out. It is important for the country."
According to the US Treasury, Arkady Rotenberg and his brother Boris provided "support to Putin's pet projects" by receiving and executing approximately $7bn (Â£4.7bn) of contracts for the Sochi Olympic Games and state-controlled energy giant Gazprom, through which their personal wealth increased by $2.5bn (Â£1.6bn).
The brothers deny getting help from the Russian leader for their businesses.


A knife amnesty in Birmingham has been described as a "tokenistic gesture" by a former gang member.

Errol Lawson spoke out after 16 knives were handed in over the first three months of the scheme, prompted by the deaths of five people died in stabbings in eight months.
Mr Lawson, now a pastor in Digbeth, said a different approach was needed.
But charity Word 4 Weapons, which set up the amnesty, said it needed more time to succeed.
Police figures showed that in 2012-13 there were 1,615 knife-related incidents in the city, although police said over the past six years knife crime had fallen by 63% across the force area.
Among the high profile deaths in the city were Christina Edkins, 16, who was stabbed on a bus on her way to school in Halesowen in March last year and Joshua Ribera, 18, who was also killed in 2013.
Mr Lawson said: "For me the knife surrenders is a tokenistic gesture.
"Although it's a good sentiment, if we really want to see knife crime reduced we need to look at the issues around why a young person will carry a knife."
He believes young people need educating, because they believe carrying a knife is a "cool thing to do now".
Knife collection bins were installed in February at three Birmingham churches, one in Lozells, one in Hockley and one in Erdington.
West Midlands Police and Crime commissioner Bob Jones, who backed the amnesty, said it was part of a police programme of education around knives.
The charity's founder Michael Smith, said that as well as collecting the knives, it offers practical advice to young people and it was too soon to judge the success of the amnesty.
He said: "After three months I wouldn't be looking in a bin to find out what's in them, it would be six months before I'd even look in them, that's based on experience."


Engineer Harry Huskey, who helped build many of the first ever computers, has died aged 101.

Dr Huskey was a key member of the team that built the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (Eniac) which first ran in February 1946.
Eniac is widely considered to be one of the first electronic, general purpose, programmable computers.
Dr Huskey also helped complete work on the Ace - the Automatic Computing Engine - designed by Alan Turing.
The Eniac was built at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1940s and, once complete, was more than 100ft (30m) long, weighed 30 tonnes, used 18,000 valves and 1,500 relays. Programming the massive machine to do different computational tasks involved rewiring its various units. Eniac was built to calculate the trajectory of shells for the US army.
Dr Huskey became involved with the development effort to create Eniac soon after joining Pennsylvania to teach mathematics to Naval recruits. His task was to make the punched card reader for the machine work and to write technical manuals describing how to operate it.
After the war, Dr Huskey travelled to the UK to help Alan Turing refine and complete the Ace. This was built at the National Physical Laboratory and in 1950, when it ran its first program, it was the fastest computer in the world.
He also helped design and build two other machines - the Swac (Standards Western Automatic Computer) and the G-15 which, despite weighing almost a tonne. was known as a personal computer because it could be operated by one person.
Dr Huskey spent his entire academic career involved with computing teaching at the University of California, Berkeley and was one of the founders of the computer science faculty at UC Santa Cruz.
"Harry basically lived through and participated in the entire span of the history of electronic computing," Dag Spicer, a curator at the Computer History Museum, told the New York Times.


An error with the Global Positioning System (GPS) network has been blamed for causing problems with digital radio broadcasts last week.

The US Air Force said that removing a satellite from service had caused a software error.
A BBC spokesman confirmed that the decommissioning of a GPS satellite led to difficulties for listeners receiving digital radio signals.
The BBC understands several other satellites were affected.
"I live on the Worksop side of Sheffield and for the past two days the reception of the BBC National Ensemble [BBC radio stations] has been virtually non-existent indoors," wrote Darcy72 on Digital Spy's online forums last week.
In a response to the reported issues, the BBC said: "The outages were caused by a rogue GPS satellite (SVN23), which was taken out of service in the evening of 26 January."
The BBC has now learned that the problem occurred after a decommissioned satellite caused software problems which affected several other satellites.
DAB transmitters must broadcast at exactly the same frequencies and, in order to synchronise, they lock on to GPS satellite signals.
The GPS signals themselves broadcast the time and are supposed to be accurate to within a few nanoseconds.
However, on 26 January, one of the GPS satellites - named SVN23 - orbiting the Earth was decommissioned.
This unexpectedly caused problems for the whole network.
"While the core navigation systems were working normally, the co-ordinated universal time timing signal was off by 13 microseconds which exceeded the design specifications," said the US Air Force in a statement.
"The issue was resolved at 06:10 MST, however global users may have experienced GPS timing issues for several hours."
In fact, as a result of the problem, some GPS positioning would have been thrown off by nearly 4km.
The time discrepancy was picked up by the Metsahovi Radio Observatory in Finland.
It is not yet clear whether other systems around the world, such as navigational tools, were affected.
The BBC is still chasing the US Air Force for further details about the incident.
"They knew they were decommissioning it so shouldn't they have been aware this would happen?" questioned Prof Danielle George, a radio engineer at the University of Manchester.
"It was decommissioned after 25 years - actually it should have just had a seven-and-a-half-year lifespan so it lasted a lot longer than it should have done."
Prof George added that had there only been a problem with one satellite, DAB transmitters would probably not have experienced difficulties.
"They shouldn't have seen an issue with that because as far as I understand the way they work is they need two frequencies to lock and there are a number of GPS [signals] to look at," she told the BBC.
"This should be treated as a warning of what could go wrong," said Martyn Thomas, a fellow at the Royal Academy of Engineering who has criticised technological reliance on GPS.
"The world is dependent on GPS for a vast range of critical applications from navigation to financial trading, and precision docking of oil tankers to high tech farming."
In the future, Prof Thomas said, it was "essential" that there was back-up.


A German former nurse serving a life sentence for two murders is suspected of having killed at least 24 more patients with lethal drug overdoses.

Investigators plan to carry out exhumations until the end of May to examine remains of possible victims.
The man, identified only as Niels H, 39, was convicted in February last year over two patients' deaths at a clinic in Delmenhorst, north Germany.
In court he admitted killing up to 30 patients with heart medication.
The judges at the Oldenburg district court concluded that he had a desire to shine by resuscitating patients. He gave them overdoses of a drug that shut down their cardiovascular systems.
The deaths took place between 2003 and 2005. Police are investigating at least 200 deaths, including at other clinics where he worked, in Oldenburg and Wilhelmshaven.
If found guilty over the other deaths, Niels H would become one of Germany's worst post-war serial killers.
During the trial one senior doctor described Niels H as a "passionate medic" who had made a good impression on staff.
Doctors did notice, however, that he always seemed to be around when patients were being resuscitated, often assisting junior doctors with the procedure, he added.
Although he was charged with three murders, the court found him guilty on only two counts, explaining that it could not be proved that the former nurse had been responsible for the third death.


Eleven-time Flat racing champion jockey Pat Eddery has died at the age of 63.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Eddery, who rode more than 4,600 winners and won 14 British classics in a 36-year career, is regarded as one of the greatest jockeys of all time.
Among his most famous victories were the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe of 1986 on Dancing Brave.
Ireland-born Eddery, who retired in 2003 and was awarded an OBE in 2005, had been suffering from ill health.
Only Sir Gordon Richards has ridden more winners in Britain than Eddery.
AP McCoy, 20-time champion jump jockey, described Eddery as a "true genius in the saddle".
Eddery's successes also include Derby wins aboard Grundy (1975), Golden Fleece (1982) and Quest For Fame (1990).
Media playback is not supported on this device
However, his performance aboard Dancing Brave in the 1986 Arc in one of the classiest fields assembled is widely regarded as one of the most memorable of his career. It was one of four Arc victories.
Other famous wins included those on Pebbles in the Breeders' Cup, Silver Patriarch in the St Leger - his 4,000th winner - and Zafonic in the 2000 Guineas.
Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to Prince Khalid Abdullah, in whose silks Eddery had some of his greatest days, said: "It is extremely sad news.
"He spanned the greatest era for jockeys ever. Lester Piggott, Steve Cauthen, Willie Carson - all were exceptional yet Pat's ability was unquestioned."
Piggott, 80 and an 11-time flat racing champion jockey, described Eddery as "a natural horseman."
"Pat Eddery was as fierce an opponent on the racecourse as he was a loyal and dear friend off it," said the nine-time Derby winner.
"He was a natural horseman, he exuded class and always knew what to do in a race.
"The horses he was associated with speak for themselves, and I doubt you'd find a jockey with a sharper tactical brain or stronger in a finish. He was a huge personality in the weighing room, and wasn't slow to keep us all grounded with his wit and sense of humour. He will be sorely missed."
Eddery began a training career after his retirement, the highlight of which was a victory for Hearts Of Fire in a Group One race in Italy.
Former jockey Bruce Raymond described him as a "fun guy" and "ultra-competitive".
He said: "It's very sad. He'd been unwell for a long time. Everybody knows he was a great jockey.
"We travelled together. He was a good, fun guy and very generous.
"We used to play cards and have lots of fun. I can't imagine anyone being in his company and not enjoying it.
"He was blooming tough to ride against and cool. He would beat you in a photograph and laugh about it afterwards."
"For sports fans whose interest flourished in the 1970s, '80s and '90s, Pat Eddery was a constant source of racing success along with Willie Carson and Steve Cauthen.
"Famous for his precision-judgement and a strong, 'busy' style, in rhythm with his mounts, during a close finish, Eddery's best-known success was on the great Dancing Brave in an high-class Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in 1986.
"I can still hear the commentator as they cut down their rivals late on: 'Here comes Dancing Brave, firing down the centre of the track.'"


Stronger powers to fine people for not recycling may be the only way to hit a zero landfill waste target by 2050, the body representing Welsh councils said.

Andrew Morgan, from the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) acknowledged the move "would not be popular with some".
But the Welsh government said it would be happy to discuss the plan.
Wales recycles 54.3% of waste with provisional figures for 2013/14 due to be released on Thursday.
Mr Morgan, the WLGA's environment spokesman and also the leader of Rhondda Cynon Taf council, added plenty of work was being carried out to educate people about recycling.
"Our team go and knock on their door and speak to them - maybe just encourage them to recycle paper - get into the habit of doing somethingâ€¦ doing it slowly and showing people that it isn't that difficult to do," he said.
"There is still a small minority who simply won't recycle even when they've been spoken to two or three times they just simply say 'no'.
"Potentially in future I think local government could well be asking for powers to issue fines if the Welsh government wants us to hit targets."
Councils face fines if they do not meet Welsh government targets. The recycling target for 2015/16 is 58% but will rise to 100% by 2050.
England, Scotland and Northern Ireland recycle about 45% while the European target is 50%.
A Welsh government spokesman said: "Local authorities already have powers to require householders to put recyclable waste into the right containers and householders may be fined if they fail to do this.
"However, we would be happy to discuss this further with local authorities to see if there is a need to provide stronger powers."
Phil Hurst of Wastesavers, which collects rubbish in Newport, said options for throwing items in general waste bins need to be restricted.
He added: "I think plastic bags and crisp packets will be an issue for some time. Disposable nappies are also an issue. Almost everything else can be recycled in Newport."
Caerphilly-based DS Smith Recycling collects 5.4 million tonnes of paper and cardboard each year from across Wales and Europe. General manager Peter Clayson said while zero waste is ambitious, it is possible.
Wrexham council said plastic bottles prove the greatest challenge while Conwy council called for every manufactured product to be recyclable.
Hazel Evans, cabinet member for environment at Carmarthenshire council, said it is "difficult to predict" if zero waste is achievable.


More than 1,200 people have attended the funeral of a mid Wales rugby player killed in Spain.

Father-of-three Eifion Gwynne, 41, an electrician who played rugby for Aberystwyth and Llandovery, died in October after an accident in Malaga.
On Saturday, his casket was escorted to Morfa Chapel in Aberystwyth by former players from the town's rugby team.
His family described him as a "caring giant".
In a tribute, relatives - including his mother Anne, wife Nia and children Mabli, Modlen and Idris - said Mr Gwynne "lived life to the full".
"His vitality and kind nature inspired many. His smile lit up the room, his caring nature would see him help anyone and he treated everyone with the same respect," they added.
They thanked the local community and Aberystwyth and Llandovery rugby clubs for their kindness.
A plot was secured for Mr Gwynne at Plascrug Cemetery in Aberystwyth, where he had wished to be buried, after someone who had reserved it offered it to his family following a campaign.
A memorial fund has also been set up in Mr Gwynne's memory, with more than Â£15,000 raised in donations.


US coal producers welcomed President Trump's decision on Thursday to pull the US out of the Paris climate deal.

But the move drew criticism from other business executives, who said it would hurt US companies' ability to work abroad and inhibit innovation.
Mr Trump cast his move as part of a bigger 'America first' agenda, aimed at restoring US jobs in struggling industries.
The Dow Jones closed up 0.6% following the widely expected announcement.
Before Mr Trump confirmed he would go ahead with his campaign pledge to withdraw, a slew of major companies issued statements urging him to remain in the deal.
After the announcement, they expressed disappointment.
"Climate change is real," tweeted Jeff Immelt, chief executive of GE. "Industry must now lead and not depend on government."
Tesla boss Elon Musk confirmed he would quit his seat on White House advisory groups.
He wrote on Twitter "Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world."
Several other major companies, including Morgan Stanley, Unilever, Intel and big tech firms, such as Apple, had opposed withdrawal, saying it would have spurred energy innovation in the US, among other benefits.
Energy companies including Exxon Mobil and Chevron, had also pressed the administration to remain in the pact.
Under the deal, the US, which accounts for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emission, had committed to a 26% to 28% reduction from 2005 levels by 2025.
The US also promised $3bn in aid to a United Nations fund to help poorer countries to tackle climate change problems.
In his announcement on Thursday, Mr Trump said the deal, which involved voluntary commitments, put the US at a disadvantage. He said he would be willing to renegotiate under different terms.
"The rest of the world applauded when we signed the Paris Agreement -- they went wild; they were so happy -- for the simple reason that it put our country, the United States of America, which we all love, at a very, very big economic disadvantage," he said.
"They don't put America first," he said. "I do, and I always will."
For the US coal lobby, the decision by US President Donald Trump to withdraw from the global Paris agreement on climate change was a win.
Murray Energy, a coal mining company based in Ohio, applauded the move, describing it as an important part of the Trump administration's broader environmental agenda.
"In following through on his promise, President Trump is supporting America's uncompromising values, saving coal jobs, and promoting low-cost, reliable electricity for Americans and the rest of the World," chief executive Robert Murray said in a statement.
Paul Bailey, the president of the coal lobbying organisation American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, said the standards established under the previous Obama administration were too stringent.
"We support President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris agreement," he said. "Meeting President Obama's goal would have led to more regulations, higher energy prices, and dependence on less reliable energy sources."
Oil stocks such as ExxonMobil and Chevron climbed on Thursday, as did the overall market.
The broad S&P 500 share index and the technology index, the Nasdaq, closed at new highs, having already been climbing throughout in the day in anticipation of strong employment figures due out on Friday.
Investors had been expecting President Trump's announcement and analysts said it had already been factored into prices.
Peabody Energy, the US's largest publicly traded coal company, saw its shares slide 0.66% on Thursday.
Peabody welcomed the decision to leave the Paris accord.
"We believe that abiding by the accord, without significant changes, would have substantially impacted the U.S. economy, increased electricity costs and required the power sector to rely on less diverse and more intermittent energy," the company said.


Amnesty International has said it has evidence pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine summarily killed four Ukrainian soldiers in their captivity.

Witnesses told the group that one government soldier was shot at point-blank range by a separatist commander.
Amnesty also said it had videos of three others shown alive in captivity, then dead in a morgue with bullet wounds to their heads and upper bodies.
A fragile ceasefire has been in force in eastern Ukraine since February.
The killings are tantamount to war crimes, Amnesty said.
"These claims must be promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigated, and the perpetrators prosecuted in fair trials by recognized authorities," said Denis Krivosheev, Europe and Central Asia Deputy Director at the organisation.
The allegations come after one separatist commander told the Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Post he personally killed 15 soldiers captured from the Ukrainian armed forces.
An adviser to the rebels told the BBC last year they had carried out executions in one separatist-held area "to prevent chaos".
Rights groups have accused both sides in the conflict of abuses.
Some 6,000 people have been killed since fighting broke out in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian government a year ago.


Mark Pettini says Leicestershire's ambition was a major factor in his decision to move from Essex.

The batsman has joined Leicestershire, who came bottom of Division Two, after finishing third with Essex this year.
"The biggest thing was the ambition to become a successful side again, to get promoted and win trophies," he said.
"As a player that's really important, being somewhere where results are a main priority, where you can play a part in achieving something."
The 32-year-old told BBC Radio Leicester: "That's where they believe they can take the club and also to do it with an exciting brand of cricket."
Pettini became the third experienced county pro to sign for the Foxes for 2016, following the recruitment of Middlesex all-rounder Neil Dexter and Lancashire opener Paul Horton.
The former Essex captain has scored 7,934 first-class runs at an average of 36.73, including 12 centuries and 46 half-centuries since making his debut in 2001.
And he expects his former side will end their seven-year drought without a trophy in the not too distant future.
"I was there 14 or 15 years and received huge support the whole time from all the other players, members, coaching staff and supporters.
"I was sorry to leave it behind, it will always hold a special place in my heart, no doubt. But for me, at the age of 32, what Leicestershire were offering me, it was the right decision for myself and my cricket," he said.
"Essex have a very talented squad, they're a close-knit group and want success. They've probably fallen a bit short in not putting a trophy in the cabinet but I do believe that will change and I wish them well."


Continuing the tradition of a Christmas Day stroll, the National Trust has chosen a selection of images of its best festive walks.


"If I don't get out of this place, I don't know what I will do."

How does a Libyan graduate end up in a situation where he's willing to risk his life with people traffickers to get to Germany? One 24-year-old explains how he has reached the point where his goal is to save up enough money so he can pay smugglers to help him.
Khaled, not his real name, thought that when he left Libya in 2009 for a scholarship to an international university in Dubai, his life would follow a set path. For five years he studied hard and enjoyed himself and, even as unrest broke out in Libya, he thought he'd be able to forge a new life.
It was easy for a Libyan to travel to Dubai then and he thought his family back home would be fine as there was no sign of the troubles which were to break out with the emergence of the Arab Spring just two years later.
"I was working in the morning, studying in the evening which was challenging but I told myself it would be worth it in order to secure my future. I even got a small dog so I wouldn't feel lonely or overwhelmed."
Khaled couldn't fathom why his residency would not be renewed. "I'd lived in Dubai for five years with no problem, I'd never got in trouble with the law or had any issues. It didn't make sense. I couldn't return to Libya. The situation was impossible. My own parents had been forced to leave our family home by the militia."
Khaled was advised by his employer to leave temporarily before his residence ended and that he would try to sort out the situation.
"I went to Turkey as at that point we didn't need a visa to go there. It was the option that made more sense.
"My boss told me to give him couple of weeks to sort it out. One week became two, two became three and so on, I was running very low on money and couldn't afford to stay in the country for much longer.  I slept on the streets for a couple of weeks. My phone ran out of battery and I had to start using internet cafes to try to keep in touch with people and try to figure out what was going on.  I  even had to give away my dog who was back in Dubai. I loved her more than anything in the world but it didn't look like I could go back."
He said he was asking everyone he knew for help when an Egyptian friend offered to pay for a flight ticket and entry visa to Egypt if Khaled paid back the favour by  doing some translation work for him.
"I'm fluent in English and Arabic so I thought this would help me. It was fine until I was required by law to get residency so that I could work legally. I applied for it in July last year and usually it takes two weeks but since the country is full of refugees escaping war, it's taking a lot longer. It took four months before I was rejected due to the high demand of applications."
He was then subject to even more bad news when his friend said now Khaled owed him money and he would have to work as his driver and cleaner. His treatment of Khaled got worse and the friendship suffered.
"After about six months, I worked off the debt but then I no longer had anywhere to stay. I worked in cafes as a cleaner, shisha boy, trying to find any job that I could. As I have no residence, I get paid just a third of the normal going rate."
Khaled kept hoping that things had the potential to change. He started looking for job opportunities around the world.
"I applied to a number of companies in Canada, USA, UK, and so many more. Companies liked my CV and would accept me, and even sent a full sponsorship letter for me to get a visa in a few cases.
"But then I'd get a letter rejecting me, stating, "You have no proof that you will leave the country once your authorised work period is finished," or, "We require residence in the country you are applying from," as well as other reasons. The Egyptian government won't give me residency. I can't go back to Libya. I'm stuck in a rut.
"I'm trying everything within my power to improve my situation but it feels like everything I worked for, all my degrees, do not mean anything due to something which is outside my control.
"My dream is to have a home, a safe place to come back to, a place to work which most people have. They do not know how lucky they are. I even want to continue my studies. I would like to do my PhD, not clean the toilets and get beaten up on my way home just because I am Libyan.
Five obstacles to an EU migrants deal
Those who risk everything for a better life
Global failure to help Syrian refugees
"I'm now trying to save as much money as I can so I can go to Turkey and get on one of the boats which take people over to Europe. It's easy enough to do because when you are walking in Turkey, the traffickers see you are an Arab and offer you the chance.
"I would rather drown than spend the rest of my life here in Egypt.  I want to go to Germany because they welcome people like me.
"I've never looked for handouts but opportunities. I want to give back to the community."
The word migrant is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "one who moves, either temporarily or permanently, from one place, area, or country of residence to another".
A refugee is, according to the 1951 Refugee Convention, any person who "owing to a well-founded fear" of persecution is outside their country of nationality and "unable" or "unwilling" to seek the protection of that country. To gain the status, one has to go through the legal process of claiming asylum.
The word migrant has traditionally been considered a neutral term, but some criticise the BBC and other media for using a word they say implies something voluntary, and should not be applied to people fleeing danger.

Tributes have been in the Highlands and Islands to former Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy.

Mr Kennedy, a former MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber, died at his home in Fort William on Monday, aged 55.
Father Roddy McAuley, parish priest at St John's Church in Caol, said he was a "much loved and respected parishioner" who would be "sorely missed".
His former constituency chairman Jamie Stone said Mr Kennedy had been a "star who glittered very brightly".
Mr Stone said: "My wife Flora and I were utterly devastated by this terrible news. It was solely because of Charles that I decided to join the then SDP, which was to eventually merge with the Liberals to form today's Liberal Democrat party.
"Charles was a star who glittered very brightly in the political firmament, but at the same time he never lost his extraordinary ability to communicate with ordinary people in a way that was virtually unique in politics.
"I have lost the truest of friends, someone who meant a very great deal to me."
Both of Mr Kennedy's parents were laid to rest at St John's Church in Caol.
Father McAuley said he was a "very humble and thoughtful person".
"He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family."
Broadcaster Hugh Dan MacLennan attended the same school as Mr Kennedy, and both worked as journalists at BBC Radio Highland.
He recalled: "We both went to Lochaber High School. He was four years younger than me.
"At lunchtime we would all go out and play football and shinty, and Charles Kennedy would go to the school hall and practice oration."
Mr MacLennan told how as a "cub reporter" at the BBC, Mr Kennedy had been sent to cover a story about a boat alleged to have once belonged to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
"Charles came back with an interview, but with noise of a joiner banging in nails in the background," he said.
"He thought that the noise could be cut out. We had to send him back out to do the interview again."
Mr MacLennan said Mr Kennedy gave his life to politics.
Veteran journalist Iain MacDonald offered Mr Kennedy a permanent job at BBC Radio Highland.
He said: "We had Charles for a summer before he took up a Fulbright Scholarship in Boston.
"He came to us with an irrepressible enthusiasm and people took to him immediately.
"I offered him a job permanently when there wasn't one, but said I would pay him out of petty cash.
"But he said he might not get the chance to take up the scholarship again and he would have to go."
Within the next year he was adopted as election candidate for Ross and Cromarty.
"He stood against a government minister - the energy minister at a time when the North Sea oil industry was booming - and he won."


A 76-year-old man has died after being hit by a car in Blaenau Gwent.

The incident happened on The Promenade in Tredegar at 09:45 BST on Tuesday.
The pedestrian suffered severe head injuries and was taken to University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff where he later died.
A 54-year-old local man has been arrested on suspicion of death by careless driving and is currently in police custody.
Gwent Police has asked anyone who witnessed the collision is to call 101 quoting log 89 14/04/15.


Norwich City have signed Leeds United captain Robert Snodgrass for an undisclosed fee, handing the 24-year-old a three-year deal.

The striker left the Leeds training base in Cornwall earlier this week to hold talks with the Canaries.
He joined United from Livingston in 2008 and scored 41 goals in 191 games.
"He is a player I have admired for a number of years now and he's at a good age at 24," Norwich manager Chris Hughton told the club website.
"He's also got that international experience with Scotland and is used to playing in big matches both with his country and at Elland Road."
The Premier League club had an approach for Snodgrass rejected last week but have managed to capture the forward, who won both Leeds fans' player of the year and players' player of the year awards last season.
Before the deal was finalised, United boss Neil Warnock said: "Negotiations [over a new contract] have been going on for weeks.
"I was hoping he would have had a change of heart and I can honestly say that in all my time in football, I've never worked as hard in trying to keep a player.
"He was offered the best contract, the captaincy, and we would have built a team around him so I am very disappointed.
"He's made it clear what he wants to do and he's had his head turned. He wants to play in the Premier League. He believes his Scotland international career may be better served in the Premier League, but I'm not so sure."
Norwich are also in talks to sign Sunderland defender Michael Turner, who


Australian mining magnate Andrew Forrest and his wife, Nicola, have announced they will give A$400m (£229m; $298m) to charity.

PM Malcolm Turnbull said the donation was "the biggest single philanthropic gift" in the nation's history, and the largest by a living Australian.
The money will fund causes including cancer research, university education and ending indigenous disadvantage.
The Fortescue Metals chairman has a history of philanthropy.
"I have been very fortunate, with my wife, Nicola, to be able to accumulate capital, and then as soon as we can to commence giving it away," said Mr Forrest, who is estimated by Forbes to have a net worth of almost A$5.8bn.
"We had a slightly unsustainable business model previously, where we would actually borrow money to give it away. Fortunately, we don't have to do that now, thanks to the strength of the iron ore sector."
A 55-year-old entrepreneur, Mr Forrest graduated from the University of Western Australia with an economics degree in 1983.
Known by his schoolboy nickname "Twiggy", he started his first mining business in 1994 and founded iron ore company Fortescue nine years later.
Mr Forrest was once Australia's richest man, with his wealth peaking in 2008 during the nation's mining boom.
In 2013, he pledged at least 50% of his wealth to charity after joining the Giving Pledge campaign launched by US billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
Mr Turnbull described the donation as an "extraordinary act", and said it would be spent in various ways:
"It will change the lives of thousands of people here in Australia and around the world," Mr Turnbull said at a briefing in Canberra.
"All of us should seek to do as much as we can with what we have. So, this is real leadership and leading by example."
Others who have made large philanthropic offers include Indian tech billionaire Azim Premji, Irish-American businessman Chuck Feeney and Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.


Queens Park Rangers co-chairman Ruben Gnanalingam has increased his shareholding in the club to 33%.

The Malaysian businessman holds the shares in QPR Holdings Limited, the Championship club's parent company, through Total Soccer Growth Sdn Bhd.
Co-chairman Tony Fernandes' company QPR Asia Sdn Bhd has reduced its shareholding from 69% to 55%.
Sea Dream Ltd's shareholding, which represents the Mittal family, has reduced from 30% to 11%.
Gnanalingam became co-chairman of the west London club last summer, having been a major shareholder since Fernandes became chairman at Loftus Road in 2011.


Political matters dominate the front pages of the Belfast Telegraph, Irish News and News Letter on Monday, though all focus on different aspects.

The Belfast Telegraph says "Assembly back, but it's just a sideshow".
It says the 90 MLAs elected on 2 March will sign in at Stormont later before adjourning proceedings.
A speaker will not be elected and no business is on the agenda, prompting TUV leader Jim Allister to brand it a "fiasco".
The Irish News returns to the issue of a controversial community fund scheme launched by the DUP.
Of the 61 applications to the Â£1.9m Community Halls Pilot Programme submitted by GAA clubs, only two were successful, it reports.
Meanwhile, the News Letter leads with outgoing Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt's denunciation of the DUP as a party which "endangers our future".
It says that in his final speech to his party's ruling executive on Saturday, Mr Nesbitt said that the DUP's language was "intent on domination", which only achieved "further division and polarisation".
Inside, all three papers report that six PSNI officers have been disciplined for making "unprofessional and inappropriate" comments on social media in the last three years.
One officer was found to have posted homophobic comments about a colleague, while another shared details of a threat briefing.
The sanctions laid down ranged from a reduction in pay to advice and guidance.
Both the News Letter and Belfast Telegraph publish pictures of the shipping container in which a kidnapped cattle dealer was held for five days in a remote County Tyrone field.
A filthy mattress lies at the back of the squalid container, where Paul Gogan was was kept, bound by cable ties, in the pitch dark.
A Scottish businessman and four Tyrone men were convicted and given suspended sentences over the kidnapping, but prosecutors said they are considering referring the sentences to the Court of Appeal.
The News Letter also devotes a lot of coverage to a victims event taking place at Stormont later.
In an article on page two of the paper, DUP leader Arlene Foster says her party will "not allow the rewriting of the past by attempts to take the focus off those who perpetrated 90% of the deaths and injuries".
Former UDR soldier Noel Downey tells the paper of the moment he was injured by an under-car bomb.
"I got out of the car and tried to walk, but kept falling down," he says.
The Irish News reports that private ambulances were used more than 600 times in Northern Ireland in January. It says 561 of these were classed as emergency calls.
The paper also carries the call from Peter O'Neill of the Imagine Belfast Festival for the city to consider the appointment of a "night mayor" to develop its nocturnal economy.
Finally, the Belfast Telegraph features the unusual ways some Northern Ireland couples have chosen to tie the knot.
When Nicola Simpkin and her husband Steve got to the pavilion of their Central Park, New York, wedding they discovered a homeless man was sleeping inside.
Meanwhile, Colin and Adele Symington's Star Wars-themed wedding featured Stormtroopers, Darth Vader and a Jabba the Hut cake.
A nod to the Dark Side of marriage, perhaps?


The news keeps getting better for Ireland's economic recovery with tax receipts far above their predicted levels, but where is the extra money coming from?

Official figures released this week suggest that the amount of tax collected by Irish exchequer this year will be 3bn euros more than expected.
The vast majority has come from a big spike in corporation tax receipts - that's the tax that companies pay on their profits.
Ireland of course has a famously low rate of corporation tax and the rate has not been touched, remaining at 12.5% throughout the crisis and the recovery.
What is going on is that some companies have made bigger profits and so have a bigger tax bill.
The Republic of Ireland's finance minister says this is a reflection of a broad-based recovery and improved trading conditions.
And there is no doubt that Ireland has staged a real recovery and is growing strongly. But it's not just as straight forward as that.
The University College Cork economist Seamus Coffey has been having a dig into the figures and points to a very large chunk of this extra corporation tax coming from just 10 big companies.
These companies are highly likely to be big American multi-nationals which have a tax presence in Ireland.
Mr Coffey thinks these big firms are likely to be reorganising their tax structures and activities ahead of possibly stricter international taxation rules.
So, simply put, it may be that these mega companies have decided to play nice and pay a bit more tax before they are forced to.
The big question for Ireland's finance minister is if this means a sustainably higher corporation tax take on which future spending plans can be based.
The Irish tax authorities have said that they expect the surge will continue into next year at least.
The chair of the country's Fiscal Advisory Council, John McCale,  has struck a customarily cautious note warning that there is "limited understanding" of what's going on with corporation tax.
The unexpected windfall means the country is likely to close its budget deficit earlier than the 2018 target date - maybe as early as next year.

People in Wales are being asked to take part in a confidential online survey to help plan health needs.

The HealthWise Wales project, described as the first of its kind in Europe, hopes to collect information from 260,000 people.
The aim is to build an in-depth picture of the health of the nation, using the data to plan NHS services in future.
Anyone over 16 can take part and the Welsh government said the data would only be used for research.
The project is led by Cardiff and Swansea universities, and some participants will be asked if researchers can access their information and invite them to take part in further studies.
Dr Ruth Hussey, Wales' chief medical officer, said it was the largest research project of its kind ever launched in Wales.
"Young or old, fit or unwell you will be contacted every six months to get an ongoing understanding of your health," she said.
"This is about people sharing their knowledge to improve health and care in Wales."
A pilot was launched in May 2015 and 570 people have signed up to date.
It aims to recruit hundreds of thousands more over the next five years by encouraging people to register online, as well as a mixture of roadshow events, TV adverts and social media campaigns.
Prof Shantini Paranjothy, from Cardiff University's School of Medicine, said the project built on "a strong tradition of population health research in Wales".
"This large-scale project will use modern technology to engage people in research and provide opportunities to contribute to the design and conduct of research studies," she said.


Sensitive details of health workers employed by the US military's Special Operations Command (Socom) have been exposed in a data breach.

The 11GB of data included social security numbers, names, addresses and salaries of some Socom staff.
All the workers, including some with top secret clearances, were employed by subcontractor Potomac Healthcare.
The company has now removed the data and said it was investigating the breach.
The cache of data was found unprotected on the net by researcher Chris Vickery, from security company MacKeeper.
It included details of nurses, doctors and mental health support staff as well as unit assignments and postings dating back to 1998.
The data appears to have been exposed when Potomac IT staff misconfigured a data back-up.
In a blog about the find, Mr Vickery said he had attempted to get the "publicly exposed" data taken off the net by contacting Potomac's chief executives.
Initially, Potomac had not seemed to take seriously his warnings that making the data public was a risk to national safety, wrote Mr Vickery.
After an hour, he had alerted other government agencies. And 30 minutes later, the data had disappeared.
The sensitive nature of the information, including security clearances and the deployment locations of staff, would make it very attractive to "hostile entities", said Mr Vickery.
"Let's hope that I was the only outsider to come across this gem," he wrote.
Potomac acknowledged Mr Vickery's help and said it was "addressing" the incident, in correspondence with tech news site ZDNet.
Booz Allen Hamilton, the contractor for whom Potomac is a sub-contractor, said it was also investigating.


Campaigners targeting companies that supply an energy firm's fracking site have stopped lorries from leaving a haulage company's depots.

Anti-fracking protesters in Cheshire blocked Eddie Stobart's Orford depot's exit and walked slowly in front of lorries at Appleton Thorn.
They want to persuade the firm to stop supplying Cuadrilla's Preston New Road site at Little Plumpton, Lancashire.
An Eddie Stobart spokeswoman said one of its tankers had visited the site.
She said seven lorries had been unable to leave the depot on Hawleys Lane in Orford due to the protest, which began at about 03:00 BST.
Two protesters who chained themselves to a metal and plastic pipe and lay across the road were cut free by police.
The campaigners have not stated how long they plan to block the site but said they were taking direct action as a "last resort".
Cheshire Police said two men have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass.
One protester, known only as Katrina, was "slow walking" in front of the lorries leaving Appleton Thorn.
She said: "Ultimately we would like Stobart to pull out of their contract with Cuadrilla.
"But if they don't, it would be like a warning shot to other suppliers and hopefully Stobart's will think twice about entering into a contract with fracking companies in future."
There were about 10 campaigners at each of the protest sites in Orford and Appleton Thorn.
The protests are part of a week of action targeting contractors working to supply Cuadrilla's Preston New Road site, which is being prepared for test drilling.
Protests have been held near the Little Plumpton site since Cuadrilla started work there on 5 January.
The government approved Cuadrilla's plans for horizontal hydraulic fracturing at the site in October last year.
A spokeswoman from campaign organisation Frack Free Lancashire said they felt they had been "bullied by the government".
"Lancashire County Council voted democratically to say no to fracking but then it was overturned by the government - so if that's not bullying, I don't know what is," she said.
Cuadrilla declined to comment.


Airbnb has told its members "we are not going anywhere", after a judge in New York ruled a man who rented out his apartment through the site broke the law.

Nigel Warren was fined $2,400 (Â£1,600) for subletting his apartment to a Russian tourist in December.
The judge said he broke a law stopping people from subletting for fewer than 30 days.
Airbnb helps its members to rent out their spare rooms or homes.
Mr Warren said in a statement: "I like what Airbnb does, and I don't want this ruling to stand in the way of what I think is, overall, a great start-up."
However, some have started speculating at what this could mean for the future of Airbnb, which has also faced problems in Amsterdam.
In an email sent to its New York members on Wednesday, the company said: "We know from the amazing stories you have shared with us that many of you depend on the extra income you earn from hosting to help you afford to stay in your homes, make ends meet, or simply follow your dreams.
"And beyond the economic benefits to you as hosts and the neighbourhoods around you, Airbnb is a community of people establishing connections and making new friends around the world. So we are not going anywhere."
Airbnb, who helped Mr Warren with the case, said in the email: "We intervened in this case because it was so clearly contrary to the intent and text of the New York law, and we are already examining our options to appeal this ruling on Nigel's behalf."
The firm is lobbying to change the 2011 law, which was introduced to stop landlords from turning their homes into illegal hotels.
It added: "As always, we urge our hosts to learn about and obey all of the local laws in their cities. But it is often hard to predict how individual city administrators will interpret laws like this, and that needs to change."
The San Francisco-based company has 300,000 listings in 192 countries.
As of Wednesday, it had 22,677 listings in New York.
According to the New York Post, Mr Warren was cited when a city inspector was in his building for other reasons and came across the Russian tourist, who revealed details of the deal.


Gypsy has returned to the West End for the first time in 40 years, winning rave reviews for Imelda Staunton.

Angela Lansbury, who starred in the original London production, was among the first night audience at the Savoy theatre.
The production, which had transferred from Chichester, won a standing ovation from the audience mid-show.
The classic musical is about striptease artist Gypsy Rose Lee and her overbearing mother, played by Staunton.
Jonathan Kent's production also stars Peter Davison and Lara Pulver.
Staunton had won excellent reviews previously but Dominic Cavendish in The Telegraph said Staunton's performance was even better than in Chichester.
"Not only does Staunton display greater leather-lunged force in the show-stopping numbers such as Everything's Coming Up Roses... She also packs more into this whirlwind-restless, tormented spirit," he said.
He gave the show five stars and called seeing it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
Broadcaster and critic Libby Purves tweeted: "It blazes, it blooms, it has London leaping to its feet. Nothing beats GYPSY for wow 'n wisdom. Staunton superb."
In her review she notes there were three standing ovations and thought the production was even better than when it was on in Chichester.
"It is, if anything, even more kaleidoscopically irresistible set in the Savoy's weary gilt-and-velvet."
Dominic Maxwell in The Times also gave it five stars calling Staunton's performance "staggeringly good".
"Staunton's fierce but wounded Rose doesn't just gaze into the abyss, she sings and dances, bosses and bullies, sweet-talks and schemes into the abyss. She gives us enough pain and defiance to fuel a Greek drama couched in the showbiz trappings of Jule Styne's music, Stephen Sondheim's lyrics and Arthur Laurent's witty, sounding book. In a word: 'wow'."
It is the first time the musical has been seen in the West End since the UK premiere production in 1973, which starred Angela Lansbury.
This production, which started in Chichester last year, reunited Staunton with the team behind the award-winning Sweeney Todd.
Time Out and What's On Stage also give the show five stars, as did Stephen Collins from BritishTheatre.com, who called the Savoy Theatre "a perfect home for this Gypsy".
"The places where Rose might want her troupe to play might have looked like the Savoy does, and, as an encapsulation of wonderfully grand theatricality, it has a lot going for it. The sight of Rose alone on its vast, darkened stage is powerful indeed."
He said this version is "superior in absolutely every way" to its previous Chichester production and gushed it is "likely to be the definitive production of Gypsy for a generation".
David Nice at The Arts Desk said the audience was "beguiled to cheering point" by the show "because everything in this London transfer from the Chichester Festival Theatre, parody included, is solid gold."
"Imelda Staunton dazzles with truth and vitality in a near-perfect musical," he added.


With Charlie and the Chocolate Factory heading a teachers' list of books all children should read in primary school, the BBC asked one avid young reader for his views.

Roald Dahl's cautionary tale definitely deserves its place at the top, according to 11-year-old Tom Lamb, from Shenfield in Essex, who says he reads for about an hour every day.
"It's just quite amusing and exciting to read and not boring or anything. It's a lot of different adventures, not all the same thing," Tom told the BBC.
He particularly liked the way the more obnoxious characters in the book "get paid for what they do".
"We read that with the school and we had to do comprehension over it. It was really good and quite realistic. I can imagine that sort of thing happening.
"I think I liked Tom best because he persevered with stuff and adopted William when everyone wanted him to go to a special home for children."
"I probably will read this. I know she goes into another world. I have seen the movie."
"It was quite strange but quite amusing and exciting. I like the way he wrote it with lots of detail about Matilda's family life."
"I thought it was quite scary but now I think it's quite a funny book.
"It's a very good book - quite short. So not long and boring."
"I haven't read this yet. I definitely know they go into another world and there are lots of different characters and adventures.
"I am quite keen to read it."
"It was quite easy and, when you are younger, quite a fun and enjoyable book to read with lots of good pictures to help younger children to understand what the words mean."
"When I was younger it was really scary but very good. I was very scared at first - but when I read it afterwards I thought it was really funny.  It's good the way it makes you pronounce the words again and again."
"I was about seven when I read this. I enjoyed it. It was about something that could have happened to me."
"This was fun. The pictures were really good, they helped you understand the story a bit more."
For Tom the big surprise is that the list does not include a single Harry Potter book.
"I really think they should have been on the list. I am on the last one now. I read it every night. I like the last one best, more than the other ones.
"It's called The Deathly Hallows. The other ones are more about school and stuff. This is about when he's left school and it's a lot more exciting."


Manchester United's 18-year-old striker Marcus Rashford has signed a new deal which will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2020.

He scored twice on his first-team debut against Midtjylland in February and finished the season with eight goals in 18 appearances.
Rashford was selected in England's 26-man squad for Euro 2016 and scored on his debut against Australia on Friday.
"I am grateful for having the chance to prove myself," he said.
"To be able to play football at the biggest club in the world means everything to me and my family."
Rashford's new contract is thought to be worth £20,000 a week.
United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "He is still very young and we need to be patient, but he is developing in the right way and we believe he has a great future ahead of him."
Defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, 19, who like his team-mate had a year left on his deal, also signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2020.
There is an option to extend both deals - announced three days after new manager Jose Mourinho joined United on a three-year contract - by a further year.
After scoring twice on his United debut in the Europa League, Rashford repeated the feat in his first Premier League game three days later.
He also found the net just 138 seconds into his first senior international appearance, making him the youngest player to score on his England debut.
The teenager was represented in negotiations by family members, with advice from Chris and Wayne Welbeck, brothers of former United forward Danny, who now plays for Arsenal.


Manchester United are likely to limit their summer spending to three or four key signings.

United will be in the Champions League and boss Jose Mourinho said executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has had his targets "for more than two months".
Mourinho wants to enhance his forward and defensive options to challenge for the Premier League title next season.
United have been linked with Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann and Burnley centre-back Michael Keane.
"Ed Woodward has my list," the Portuguese manager said after his side beat Ajax to win the Europa League for the first time on Wednesday.
"Now it's up to him and the owners."
Griezmann has a 100m euro release clause in his contract and the 26-year-old France international said earlier this week that his chances of joining United were "six out of 10".
Since then, a major stumbling block has been removed by United securing the return of Champions League football. They will go straight into the group stage after their victory over Ajax in Stockholm.
Griezmann has the pace and trickery United lack but, should a move falter, Torino forward Andrea Belotti is another option. The 23-year-old Italy international has scored 25 goals in Serie A this season.
Keane, meanwhile, left United for Burnley in January 2015 but Mourinho is known to be eager to bring the 24-year-old defender back to Old Trafford.
The Portuguese views predecessor Louis van Gaal's decision to sell the centre-back for £2m as a mistake and believes his central defensive options are limited.
In theory, a 25% sell-on clause agreed at the time of that deal should bring the price down. However, Burnley manager Sean Dyche has said the Clarets have no financial need to sell Keane, who made his England debut in March.
Prior to the January transfer window, United showed interest in Benfica's Sweden centre-back Victor Lindelof, 22, while left-back is another area of weakness.
Earning Champions League football means United have avoided the potential loss of £50m in sponsorship income and prize money.
However, one senior club source said the forthcoming transfer window was likely to be "crazy", given the increased spending power within the Premier League as a result of the new £8.3bn TV deal and clubs such as Inter Milan and AC Milan willing to spend big to try to rediscover former glories.
A year ago, Mourinho marked his first summer at Old Trafford by bringing in striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, defender Eric Bailly and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan by the first week in July, before midfielder Paul Pogba re-signed from Juventus for a world record £89m in early August.
In December, BBC Sport was told the United manager felt he needed at least two more transfer windows to shape his squad.
Mourinho decided not to buy in January, but since then Ibrahimovic and defender Marcos Rojo have suffered cruciate knee-ligament injuries which will keep them out until next year and former Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has left for Major League Soccer in the United States.
United went on to finish sixth in the Premier League which, apart from the disastrous campaign under David Moyes in 2013-14, was their lowest placing since 1991.


Canadian party leaders attacked Prime Minister Stephen Harper's economic record in a televised debate at the start of a long election campaign.

"Mr Harper, we really can't afford another four years of you," said New Democratic Party leader Thomas Mulcair.
The economy has been hurt by failing oil prices and Mr Mulcair said the country could be in recession.
But Mr Harper, who has called a parliamentary election for 19 October, said there was reason for optimism.
Highlighting good job-creation figures amid a weak global economy, the prime minister said the other parties would raise taxes and bring Greek-style debt to Canada.
The solution, he said, was a "low-tax proven plan", he said.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, also on stage, said the governing Conservative Party favoured the rich.
Mr Mulcair is currently leading in the polls. His centre-left New Democratic Party recently made big gains in Alberta - traditionally a Conservative party stronghold.
Green Party leader Elizabeth May completed the quartet of debaters and said Mr Harper's record on tackling climate change was a "litany of broken promises".
Mr Trudeau, the son of a former prime minister, benefits from high name recognition but has been criticised by his rivals for his lack of experience.
Mr Harper's centre-right Conservative Party has been in office since 2006 and analysts say he could struggle to form another majority government.
However, the election season will run for 11 weeks and it is thought a long campaign season could benefit the well-funded Conservative Party.

Ali Mohamed, visiting a friend at a house across the road, said: "I saw Salman Abedi here. He didn't show any danger or anything bad. He just seemed like a normal kid."
It is understood the arrested man was on an inbound flight to the UK when he was held at the airport.
The man, who remains in custody, is the 23rd person to be held in the investigation.
Two people were de-arrested and 20 others were freed without charge.
Someone is de-arrested if police find the person in custody has no case to answer before the paperwork for their arrest has been processed.
On Thursday, GMP's head of counter terrorism Ch Supt Russ Jackson said Abedi was not part of a larger network.
However, he said officers believed other people may have been "aware or complicit" in the bombing.


German horse Protectionist, for English jockey Ryan Moore, won the Melbourne Cup but favourite Admire Rakti collapsed and died after the race.

Moore guided his 7-1 chance, trained by Andreas Wohler, to a four-length win from British challenger Red Cadeaux, who was second for the third time.
New Zealand runner Who Shot Thebarman was third, but the Japanese-trained Admire Rakti faded and finished last.
The six-year-old Caulfield Cup winner collapsed returning from the track.
There were mixed emotions after the two-mile contest at Flemington Racecourse, which attracts a crowd of more than 100,000.
Admire Rakti had gone into the 154th running of the race as favourite while, in another post-race incident, seventh-placed Araldo was treated at an equine clinic after kicking out at a fence when returning to the mounting yard and injuring a hind leg.
Protectionist ran out a convincing winner for Moore, who enhanced his growing global reputation having won last month's Cox Plate in Australia with his mount Adelaide.
"He's a very good horse with a very strong pace. Once he got the space, he was amazing," said the 31-year-old.
"Obviously it's very special. I've got to thank [wife] Michelle at home with the kids because being away a lot it's hard for her, so you need to win these races for it to be worthwhile."
Wohler paid tribute to the three-time British champion jockey, who conceded the chance of a fourth domestic title this season in favour of competing at the big international meetings.
"We have had great success all over the planet but this is the biggest of all," said the trainer, celebrating a first German triumph in the Melbourne Cup.
"[Moore] was so patient. He couldn't have the position he wanted to have but when he came around the last bend he just needed the right gap. Ryan is a superstar."
Ridden much more prominently than in previous years, Red Cadeaux hit the front early in the straight, kicking clear under regular rider Gerald Mosse.
But the eight-year-old, trained by Ed Dunlop, finished second again having been beaten by a nose in 2011 and three-quarters of a length last year.
"We'll have to come back again, but we'll just see how he is as he's old. He's just been an amazing horse, he must be the greatest bridesmaid ever," said Dunlop.
Signoff was fourth, with Willing Foe in fifth place.
Jockey Zac Purton eased down the top weight Admire Rakti, trained by Tomoyuki Umeda, in the closing stages of the races. Officials said an autopsy would be carried out to establish the cause of the horse's death.
Four horses have been fatally injured in the Melbourne Cup over the past 35 years. The death last year of the Aga Khan-owned Verema, a French mare who was euthanised after suffering a serious leg injury, was the first since 1998.

New coins in 2016 will feature images from Shakespeare plays and Beatrix Potter stories.

A skull and rose, and a crown and sword are just some of the pictures that will be on £2 coins to represent Shakespeare's work.
To mark 150 years since the birth of Beatrix Potter, a 50p coin has been designed with Peter Rabbit on.
The latest portrait of the Queen also appears on all seven new coins.
The Royal Mint, who make all of the UK's money, say the new coins are meant to give a snapshot of Britain over the past 1,000 years.


Tim Peake is the UK's first official astronaut and the first British astronaut to go to the International Space Station.

However, he is not the first Briton in space.
According to the British Interplanetary Society, he is the seventh person born in the UK to have left the planet.
A former chemist for a chocolate company, Helen Sharman was Britain's first astronaut.
She won her place on a space trip in 1989 after answering an advertisement she heard on the radio, which said: "Astronaut wanted. No experience necessary."
She was eventually selected from more than 13,000 applicants to be the British member of the Soviet scientific space mission, Project Juno, which travelled to the Mir space station in 1991.
Ms Sharman spent 18 months training in Star City - 30km north-east of Moscow, Russia - and during her eight days in space she carried out a series of medical and agricultural experiments.
She has since become a lecturer and broadcaster on science.
British-born Michael Foale went to school in Kent before studying at the University of Cambridge, where he was in a social club that included Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie.
In June 1983, he joined Nasa's Johnson Space Center, working in mission control.
He was selected as an astronaut candidate in June 1987, and has since been a crew member on six space missions.
In 1997, while conducting experiments on board the Russian Mir space station, he helped to save the station following a collision with a cargo craft during a docking test.
According to his Nasa profile, Mr Foale - who has US citizenship - still considers Cambridge to be his hometown.
He has logged more than 374 days in space including four space walks totalling 22 hours and 44 minutes and is currently an advisor for the Inspiration Mars Foundation.
Born in the UK, Piers Sellers (pictured centre) went to school in Kent before attending Edinburgh University and Leeds University.
He then moved to the US in 1982 to carry out climate research at Nasa.
He joined Nasa's astronaut corps in 1996 and flew to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2002, 2006, and 2010 - carrying out six spacewalks and working on ISS assembly tasks.
He is currently deputy director of sciences and exploration and acting director of the Earth Sciences Division at Nasa.
Born in North Yorkshire, he became a US citizen in 1994, but still considers London - as well as Rye, New York - his home cities.
He went to Harrow School, before studying engineering at University of Cambridge.
After graduating from Cambridge, he moved to Boston, in the US, where he worked as an aircraft engineer.
Having learned to fly in the Royal Air Force's volunteer reserve while at Cambridge, he became a flight instructor in the US before beginning astronaut training in 1998.
He has logged 638 hours in space as a mission specialist on two ISS construction flights, spending more than 18 hours on three spacewalks.
Mr Patrick retired from NASA in June 2012.
Another British-born Nasa astronaut, Gregory H Johnson is a retired US Air Force colonel, who was selected by Nasa in 1998.
Born in South Ruislip, north-west London, he went to school in the US, before flying F-15 jets during the first Gulf War.
He served as pilot on his first Nasa mission - on Space Shuttle Endeavour in 2008 - which delivered parts to the ISS.
He was also assigned as the pilot of the 2011 Endeavour flight - the penultimate mission of Nasa's Space Shuttle Program.
Space tourist Richard Garriott - known to computer game fans as "Lord British" - paid about $30m (Â£17m) for a 10-day trip to the ISS in 2008.
He followed in the footsteps of his father, a Nasa astronaut in the 1970s.
Born in Cambridge, UK, to American parents, the computer games designer also ran a company which operated commercial trips to space.
The Chichester-born astronaut attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and was commissioned as an officer in the Army Air Corps in 1992.
He served as a reconnaissance pilot and flight commander before qualifying as a helicopter flying instructor.
He retired from the Army as a major in 2009, when he became a helicopter test pilot, before being selected as a European Space Agency (Esa) astronaut in May 2009.
Mr Peake beat 8,000 other applicants to claim one of only six places on Esa's training program.
The father-of-two is the first Briton to join the crew of the ISS.

Three men accused over the killing of a leader of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas have been put to death by the group in the Gaza Strip.

One was accused of killing Mazen Fuqaha while the other two were accused of involvement. All three were said to have collaborated with Israel.
Two were hanged while the third was killed by a firing squad in front of hundreds of witnesses.
A human rights group said the executions smacked of "militia rule".
Hamas has controlled the Gaza Strip since ejecting a rival Palestinian faction, Fatah, from power nearly 10 years ago.
Hamas was shocked when Fuqaha was shot dead near his house in March, and imposed tight border restrictions on Palestinians trying to leave Gaza.
Human rights groups had called on the Islamist movement not to carry out the executions - just two weeks after it announced the arrests and aired videos of what it said were the men's confessions.
Since Hamas took over Gaza, it is believed to have executed some 28 people.

One of those killed on Thursday, Ashraf Abu Leila, 38, was named as the assassin and hanged, AFP news agency reports.
Abdallah al-Nashar, 38, and Hisham al-Aloul, 42, were convicted of being his accomplices and "collaborating with the Zionist enemy".
Mr Nashar was shot instead of being hanged because he had once been an officer in the Palestinian presidential guard, AFP reports.
Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of the Middle East division of Human Rights Watch, said: "Rushing to put men to death based on an unreviewable decision of a special military court days after announcing their arrests, and airing videoed confessions, smacks of militia rule, not the rule of law.
"Reliance on confessions, in a system where coercion, torture and deprivation of detainee's rights are prevalent, and other apparent due process violations further taint the court's verdicts.
"Death as government-sanctioned punishment is inherently cruel and always wrong, no matter the circumstance."
Israel occupied the Gaza Strip during the 1967 Middle East war. In 2005, it withdrew its troops and some 7,000 settlers.
In 2006, Hamas won Palestinian Legislative Council elections. It took control of Gaza the following year after a violent rift with the Fatah faction of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Hamas as a whole, or in some cases its military wing, is designated a terrorist group by Israel, the US, EU, and UK, as well as other powers.


A murder investigation has started after the body of a woman was found.

Samantha Blake-Mizen, 47, was found by paramedics at a property in Ludgershall, near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, on Sunday.
Post mortem tests showed she died from a subdural haematoma - bleeding in the brain.
A 43-year-old man from Thame was arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday and has since been released on bail, Thames Valley Police said.


A four-year-old boy has died in an incident at a farm in Maguiresbridge, County Fermanagh.

Police were called to the area at about 20:30 BST on Thursday and the child was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSENI) is investigating the cause of death, which is understood to have involved farm machinery.
The boy's death was the first of a child on a farm in Northern Ireland for almost three years, said the HSENI.
There were seven deaths on Northern Ireland farms in 2016 and six the year before, it added.
The last child to die in a farm fatality was in June 2014, when a boy died in a slurry tank accident near Dunloy, County Antrim.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said the news had shocked the close-knit farming community in Fermanagh.
Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott said the community would rally around the "very close" family.
"The family have lost a son, a grandson and a brother and that's something I'm sure they will find very, very difficult to come to terms with," he said.
Former Sinn FÃ©in agriculture minister Michelle Gildernew said the community of Maguiresbridge was "devastated".
The Methodist Church in Maguiresbridge is holding a special service at 19:00 BST, inviting people to come together and to pray for the family.


Australia's opposition leader has urged Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to resign after a cliff-hanger election failed to deliver a clear winner.

"I think he should quit," said Labor Party leader Bill Shorten. "He's delivered instability."
The election result remained too close  to call as counting of votes resumed Tuesday morning.
The PM said he had "every confidence" his conservative coalition would be able to form a majority government.
Australia faces the prospect of a "hung parliament" after neither of the two main parties reached the 76-seat quota required to form a government.
According to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), the vote tallies show that in the contest for the 150 lower house seats, the ruling conservative coalition has won 67 seats and the centre-left Labor Party has won 71 seats.
A total of six seats has gone to independents and minor parties, and six seats remain in doubt, the AEC says.
But experts cast doubt on these figures, with the Australian Broacasting Corp.'s respected analyst Antony Green saying the AEC's website shows seats as decided when they are actually too close to call.
Mr Green's count has the coalition on 68 seats, Labor on 67, others on five and 10 undecided.

Who's who in Australia's 2016 federal elections?
During the government's re-election campaign, Mr Turnbull campaigned on a "jobs and growth" slogan and, in the final week, added two words: "stable government".
According to the Labor Party leader, the prime minister failed to deliver the stability he had promised.
"Mr Turnbull tried to capitalise on the Brexit vote and say because of what happened in England that you had to vote for him in Australia," Mr Shorten said.
"He's Brexited himself. This guy's like the David Cameron of the southern hemisphere."
Australia has had five prime ministers in the past six years. Despite the poor showing during the coalition's re-election campaign, Mr Turnbull is looking to avoid adding to that tally.
The prime minister on Sunday called for the Liberal Party to remain calm.
"I can promise all Australians that we will dedicate our efforts to ensuring that the state of new Parliament is resolved without division or rancour," he said.
Senator Cory Bernardi, from the right-wing of the ruling Liberal Party, said that Mr Turnbull and campaign strategists "need to be held to account".
"I think in the end he should be asking himself if he has done the Liberal Party a service or a disservice," he said.
"The broader picture and the question we've got to ask ourselves is how did we get to a circumstance where we had a significant majority in the House of Representatives and now the best option is perhaps to form minority government."
Analysts predict that Mr Turnbull's coalition will form an administration working closely with crossbenchers to pass legislation.
Labor Party stalwart Anthony Albanese told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that Australia's major political parties needed to engage more with voters.
"I think there's a sense of alienation from mainstream politics that allows for populist partiesâ€¦ to be able to present simplistic answers to what can be very complex problems," he said.


The Independent newspaper has launched a new daily title, called i, aimed at attracting "readers and lapsed readers of quality newspapers".

The new concise paper, which will cost 20p, will share the same editorial staff as The Independent.
The Independent's owner, Russian tycoon Alexander Lebedev, also owns London's Evening Standard newspaper.
Independent executive Andrew Mullins said the new paper was selling out in some shops.
But he said they were hoping the paper would not be a threat to the Independent itself.
He said: "The problem is that some of the (Independent's) audience don't want to read the full 'Sunday roast' variant during the week. They have a very busy lifestyle and they need something more concise and distilled.
"We think that if you provide something which is an essentially daily briefing it will bring people back to the quality newspaper market and then they may well trade up to the main Independent when they have more money and time. We are hoping to grow both (papers)."
Last year the Standard became a freesheet and has seen its readership increase sharply as a result.
There had been much speculation that the Independent and the Independent on Sunday, which Mr Lebedev bought in March from Irish company Independent News & Media (INM) for £1, would also become free papers.
"Time-poor newspaper readers, and especially commuters, have been telling us for years that they are inundated with information and just don't have the time to read a quality newspaper on a regular basis," said Mr Mullins.

Evgeny Lebedev, the son of Alexander Lebedev and the chairman of Independent Print Ltd which publishes the British titles, said he was confident that launching i would be a success.
"We have shown by our investment in the London Evening Standard that, even in these highly competitive times, it is possible to revive a brand," he said.
The UK's 11 major national daily newspapers have seen their circulation shrink an average 5.75% in the last year to 10.3 million copies a day, according to industry figures.
The more expensive quality papers have suffered more than the cheaper tabloids.
The Daily Telegraph, The Times and The Guardian have each suffered a drop in circulation of more than 10% over the last year.
Sales of The Independent, which costs £1, have fallen to just over 186,000 a day from about 250,000 three years ago


A strategy to tackle violence and abuse against women and children has been launched by police and crime commissioners in north-east England.

Northumbria PCC Vera Baird, Cleveland's Barry Coppinger and Durham's Ron Hogg's plan includes scrutinising case files on failed rape prosecutions.
Other measures include more support being made available for women at work.
The PCCs hope the police rape scrutiny panels will improve evidence-gathering and lead to more convictions.
Other pledges in the plan surround issues including forced marriage, stalking and female genital mutilation.
More than 4,800 violent crimes were recorded against women throughout the region last year, the PCCs said.
Ms Baird said the strategy was designed to "boost and enhance" the work already done by police and other organisations.
"We need to make access to help, access to a route out or access to a solution much more readily available," she said.
Ms Baird said it was "absurd" more was not done to tackle perpetrators.
Mr Coppinger said the strategy introduced a "common approach" across the region and would be more than a "nice booklet on a shelf".
"We've got to use this as a means of making progress," he said.


Nine people have been injured in a multi-vehicle crash on the M23 in Surrey, police have said.

Five vehicles were involved in the pile-up near to junction nine on the northbound carriageway at about midday.
One of the casualties is believed to be in a serious condition and the other eight have been treated for minor injuries.
Emergency crews are in attendance and the hard shoulder has been opened to allow traffic to pass the crash site.
Surrey Police said the cars involved were a silver BMW, blue Ford Focus estate, grey Ford Focus, a black Mercedes and a black Jaguar.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or the events surrounding it is urged to contact Surrey Police.


Returning head coach Steve McClaren has apologised for the lack of commitment that led to his sacking by Derby County 17 months ago.

The ex-England boss was reappointed by the Rams on Wednesday and takes charge for Saturday's home game against Leeds.
But he is mindful of his acrimonious exit in 2015 after constant speculation linking him with Newcastle United.
"My mistake was not quashing that, not dampening that and not committing," McClaren, 55, told BBC Radio Derby.
"That's my fault and I apologise for that. By the time I committed to the club, the club had every right to sack me.
"From my point view there was sadness, regret and disappointment how it ended the last time."
McClaren joined the Magpies in June 2015, a month after he left Derby, but won just six of 28 Premier League games in charge before being sacked for the second time in 10 months in March 2016.
He said he felt "lucky and honoured" to come back and work with "some damn good players" at Derby.
"The potential is there and to have a group like that, I am very lucky," he added.
"Now we have to work together and produce a team that supporters can be proud of - and that is what we want to do."

The UK government is investing an extra Â£200m in programmes to fight neglected tropical diseases, which affect more than a billion people in the world's poorest countries.

Without treatment, river blindness, guinea-worm and trachoma can disable children and stop adults working.
The funding will go towards the distribution of tablets to treat diseases and research into new drugs.
Ministers said the aim was to eliminate neglected tropical diseases for good.
The announcement comes ahead of a World Health Organization conference in Geneva dedicated to neglected tropical diseases and their eradication.
Over the next four years, the UK will spend a total of Â£360m on programmes to tackle diseases such as:
This is double what has been spent annually in the previous four years, the Department for International Development said.
International Development Secretary Priti Patel said the UK's support would protect more than 200 million people "from a future blighted by tropical disease".
"These diseases belong to the last century. They cause unimaginable suffering and pain to some of the world's poorest people, forcing them into a deeper cycle of poverty with no way out. Yet they are treatable.
"These diseases have been named 'neglected' for a reason, but I'm not prepared for them to be neglected any longer."
The WHO has classified 18 diseases as neglected but treatable tropical diseases, including dengue and chikungunya, leprosy, sleeping sickness and Chagas disease.
They are all infectious diseases that occur in tropical and subtropical conditions in 149 countries of the world.
They mainly affect people who live in poverty, who have no clean drinking water and who are in close contact with infectious insects and animals, such as mosquitoes.
They cost billions of dollars every year to developing economies because adults affected are too ill to go to work.
The diseases are avoidable but if not treated, they can deform, disable and even kill.


Welsh weightlifter Darius Jokarzadeh says he is committed to fulfilling his dream of winning a gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016.

The 21-year-old said he was considering a switch to American football after missing out on a Commonwealth Games medal in July.
Jokarzadeh has been playing American football for Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania but wants to represent Great Britain in Brazil.
"I'm committed for Rio," he said.
"After experiencing Glasgow, being in front of the crowd and knowing that I could have got the gold, that's the big drive for me.
"A gold in Rio [would be] a platform for me. It's a hell of an achievement."
Jokarzadeh, from Cardiff, lifted a total of 361kg to finish fourth in the +105kg class at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
But the 6ft 7in, 20-stone weightlifter admits the prospect of a big-money National Football League (NFL) contract in the US is a major attraction.
"You hear about all the money and the fame that the guys have over there," said Jokarzadeh, who plays as a tackle when he is on the American football field.
"That was really attractive to me, especially the financial side. Who can earn $10m dollars a year at something?"
Jokarzadeh is now training for the American football combine in February, when NFL scouts look for new players at a week-long showcase event.
"I don't think I'd go straight into starting for a team so it would be a year or two development contract," he said.
"The minimum contract, I think, is $500,000 (£311,000) a year so you're not complaining."
But Jokarzadeh says his American football ambitions will not get in the way of his preparations for the Rio Olympics.
"I'll still do the combine but I'll let things fizzle out. I'm 100% committed for Rio," he said.
"How many people can say that they're the strongest in the world?
"It's something you will have for the rest of your life."


Takata shares have fallen almost 12% after a report that potential bidders are considering bankruptcy proceedings for the company to mitigate their liability following the firm's airbag scandal.

Takata has been hit by a huge recall of faulty and potentially deadly airbags used worldwide by carmakers.
It has been linked to 11 deaths and more than 100 injuries.
The shares dropped following a report from Bloomberg citing unnamed bidders.
Reports emerged last week that Takata was looking for private equity groups and other car part makers as investors to help it with its financial situation.
However, on Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that several bidders were considering a push for bankruptcy protection instead as it might mean lower repayments to debt holders.
The move would mean the company being put under administration so it can be restructured with the help of new investors.
Through this process, future investors can be relieved of some of the company's debts and obligations.
Takata has paid out $70m (£48m) in fines from US regulators so far over the faulty airbags.
In May, the company reported a net loss of 13.1bn yen ($128.7m, £99m) for its financial year ending in March.
