France's Robin Sciot-Siegrist won the Northern Ireland Open as Portugal's Ricardo Santos carded an albatross on a dramatic shootout Sunday.

The tournament saw the leading 24 after Saturday's third round playing a series of six-hole knockout stroke play games.
Santos remarkably holed from 255 yards for his albatross on 18 to beat Chile's Nico Geyger at the last-16 stage.
But Santos soon exited and 23-year-old Sciot-Siegrist beat Italy's Alessandro Tadini in the final at Galgorm Castle.
The unique format saw the players competing over the 17th, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and 18th holes at the Ballymena venue.
University of Louisville graduate Sciot-Siegrist played the six shootout holes in three under par as he birdied both par threes and also the closing hole after two putting from 25 feet following a nerveless approach shot.
The Paris native, whose mother hails from Dublin, was earning his first Challenge Tour triumph as he denied Tadini, 43, a fifth success on Europe's second-tier circuit.
Tadini led after the first hole in the decider after chipping in from off the green but former US collegiate star Sciot-Siegrist bossed the remaining five holes as he fired to within eight feet on both the par threes.
"It's amazing," said the 23-year-old Frenchman.
"It's my first full season as a pro so I am so happy because I've been working really hard this winter and holding this trophy, I don't know how to describe it, it's just pure joy."
Not surprisingly, Sciot-Siegrist lauded the event's format which was a slight tweaking of the final-day match play format used at the Perth World Sixes in Australia earlier this year.
"It's great to change the format from what we usually play and I really enjoyed it."
Sciot-Siegrist, who was ranked as the world's 22nd best amateur, had earlier looked set to bow out against England's Tom Murray at the last-16 stage before an eagle three at the last gave him victory.
However, moments later there was astonishing drama at the closing hole as Santos, trailing Geyger by one, took victory in the second-round match as he holed out for his albatross.
However, the Portuguese player then exited at the quarter-final stage against Germany's Christian Braeunig.
That left Braeunig facing Sciot-Siegrist in the last four and after chipping in for eagle from the length of the 18th green to bring the encounter to a play-off, the German looked favourite as he faced a two footer at the first tie hole with the Frenchman eight feet away.
However after Sciot-Siegrist holed, Braeunig's drilled tiddler lipped out to send the Frenchman into the final.
Tadini, who has been back and forth between the European Tour and the Challenge circuit since first earning his main card in 2003, progressed to the decider after beating Scotland's Bradley Neil by four shots in the first semi-final.
Earlier, a closing Tadini eagle in the quarter-finals had ended the hopes of Austria's Matthias Schwab, who had led the 24 qualifiers after the the 54 holes of stroke play.
Santos ended Cormac Sharvin's hopes early on Sunday morning after playing their six-hole match in three under par which left him three strokes ahead of the Ardglass man, the only Irishman to progress to the shootout stage.
Pop star Niall Horan, whose golf management company were centrally involved in the Galgorm Castle event, made the trophy presentation after a week which drew 43,495 spectators to the Ballymena venue.


One of the largest clinical trials for prostate cancer has given "powerful results", say UK researchers.

A drug for treating prostate cancer that has spread was found to save lives when offered earlier, a study found.
The trial looked at abiraterone as an additional treatment in patients with prostate cancer who were about to start long-term hormone therapy.
Abiraterone improved survival, according to results published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Prof Nicholas James, from the University of Birmingham, who led the research, said: "These are the most powerful results I've seen from a prostate cancer trial - it's a once-in-a-career feeling.
"This is one of the biggest reductions in death I've seen in any clinical trial for adult cancers."
Abiraterone, also known as Zytiga, is a hormone therapy. Unlike chemotherapy which kills the cancerous cells, it stops more testosterone from reaching the prostate gland to stifle the tumour's growth.
The trial involved almost 2,000 patients.
Half the men were treated with hormone therapy while the other half received hormone therapy and abiraterone.
Of the 1,917 men in the trial, there were 184 deaths in the combination group compared with 262 in those given hormone therapy alone.
Prof James added: "Abiraterone is already used to treat some men whose disease has spread but our results show many more could benefit."
Each year around 46,500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK, and around 11,000 men die from the disease.
The results of the trial were presented at the 2017 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago and published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Saturday.
Sir Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK's chief executive, said: "These results could transform the treatment of prostate cancer. Abiraterone can clearly help many more prostate cancer patients than was first thought."
The Institute of Cancer Research also "strongly welcomed" the new findings.
Prof Johann de Bono said they showed that when used at the start of treatment, abiraterone had "clear benefits for patients".
In March, patients with prostate cancer in England were told they could have early access to abiraterone.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) previously said the treatment was not cost-effective for the NHS until cancers were more advanced.
Prof Paul Workman, chief executive of the Institute of Cancer Research, said he was keen to now see abiraterone reassessed by NICE for use in patients "as early as possible".


James Ward will play Gilles Simon in the opening match of Britain's Davis Cup quarter-final against France at Queen's Club.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Ward and Simon will open the best-of-five tie at 12:30 BST on Friday, followed by world number three Andy Murray against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Britain are trying to reach the World Group semi-finals for the first time since 1981.
The doubles take place on Saturday and reverse singles on Sunday.
The winners will face Australia or Kazakhstan in September, with Britain guaranteed a home tie should they progress.
Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot are scheduled to face Nicolas Mahut and Richard Gasquet in Saturday's doubles, although nominations can change up to one hour before play.
Britain beat the USA 3-2 in Glasgow in March to reach the last eight.
French captain Arnaud Clement described himself as a "lucky captain" with three of the world's top 13 singles players to call upon, along with last month's Queen's Club doubles champions.
The big decision on Thursday was who to leave out of the opening matches, and it is world number 13 and Wimbledon semi-finalist Gasquet.
"Richard just needs a little more time for recovery after his semi-final last week," said Clement.
"Gilles and Jo had a little more time to prepare for the tie, so that's the reason. They are all very close and for me it's a logical choice."
British captain Leon Smith said: "That's the advantage they have, the strength in depth they've got. They've got such a strong team.
"I don't know how Richard is feeling. He obviously had a great Wimbledon. It may change in the morning, you never know."
There was no debate over who would take the singles spots for the home side, with Smith again calling upon world number three Murray and Davis Cup hero Ward.
The Londoner won a stunning five-set match against American John Isner in the previous round, and this week broke into the world's top 100 for the first time.
"Every one of these guys has given 100% when playing for Great Britain and it won't change this weekend," said Smith.
"There's no doubt there will be some aches and pains and a bit of tiredness from a long grass-court season. It's demanding for them, but you'll see no lack of desire, effort and passion to try and win the matches."
Smith could face his biggest test of the weekend when confirming Saturday's doubles team, with the option remaining to bring in Andy Murray to play all three days, despite his brother and Inglot impressing in Glasgow.
Murray will play Tsonga for the 13th time, with the Scot leading 10-2.
"It's going to be difficult because he's one of the best players on grass, but I feel good, I'm in good shape," said Tsonga.
"The most important thing for me is to know it's possible to beat Andy."
Ward, ranked 89th, takes on Simon, the world number 11, for the first time.
"I practised a lot with James over the last two years because our coaches are really close, so I may be the one who knows him the best on our team," said Simon.
"I know what to expect and it's going to be hard. I feel I'm ready for the match."
Team bonding has been a big part of Britain's success in recent years and the whole squad are staying together at a London hotel for the duration of the tie.
The spirit in the camp must be strong, judging by how the players are passing the time away from the court.
"We played one game where basically everyone has to give themselves a rating out of 10 for their looks, and the total package," said Andy Murray.
"Then everyone else has to mark you, and you see how close to reality you are. Wardy was way off!
"So Dom would score points for intelligence, whereas Wardy…"


A £250m government scheme encouraging councils to keep or bring back weekly bin collections is opening for bids.

Local authorities can apply for funds to support weekly collections, as well as for initiatives offering residents reward vouchers for recycling rubbish.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles, who announced the scheme last autumn, calls weekly bin collections a "basic right".
But Labour's Hilary Benn says the funding would be better spent on children's centres and elderly care.
Mr Pickles scrapped guidance telling councils to introduce fortnightly collections in a bid to reverse a trend developed under Labour.
He will say later that rubbish collections are the "most visible service" paid for through council tax.
"Labour's barmy bin rules have made putting out your rubbish more complicated than solving a Rubik's cube," he will say.
"The public are fed up of all the bin dos and bin don'ts. They just want a simple service."
The government scheme will make funding available for facilities with technology that sorts waste after it has been picked up, preventing families having to sort rubbish into as many as nine containers.
More than half the councils in England collect refuse once a fortnight, although many pick up recycling or food waste on a weekly basis.
However, BBC local government correspondent Mike Sergeant said there was no compulsion to bid for a share of the cash.
"Having invested heavily in alternate weekly systems, some may be rather reluctant to go back," he said.
Mr Benn, the shadow communities secretary, said local people were best-placed to decide how rubbish was collected and should not be dictated to by government.
"At a time of deep cuts, when local councils are having to make very difficult decisions, the quarter of a billion pounds Eric Pickles has found for this could be much better spent on preventing SureStart centres from closing or providing extra care for our elderly people," he added.
A survey by the Press Association news agency last year found many councils were sticking with fortnightly black bin collections, claiming that a return to weekly rounds would cost millions and undermine recycling efforts.
However, the Department for Communities and Local Government says 67% of people surveyed agreed the government should mandate weekly collections.
Ministers say more than 70 councils have signalled interest in applying for funding.
Bids which support a comprehensive weekly collection of rubbish, combined with a weekly recycling collection of materials such as glass, paper and plastics, will be prioritised.
The scheme will support initiatives which reward households for recycling, with points that convert into money off at retailers, such as Windsor and Maidenhead's RecycleBank and Birmingham's Nectar programmes.
And it will back mechanical biological treatment plants, already used in Bournemouth, which take all rubbish in just one bin and sort out the materials for recycling, landfill and composting.
Councils have until mid-March to bid for funding, which will be available from April.


Harry Kane scored four times as Tottenham produced another superb performance to sweep aside Leicester City.

Though Chelsea ended their Premier League title hopes last week, there was no let-up from Mauricio Pochettino's side, who won for the 25th time in the league this season.
Kane helped himself to two predatory goals from close range before rattling in twice from 20 yards in the last few minutes to move to 26 league goals for the campaign - two clear of Everton's Romelu Lukaku.
Son Heung-min also scored fine goals either side of half-time, volleying in Dele Alli's masterful pass, and bending in from 25 yards after a swift counter-attack.
Leicester, who are yet to make a decision on manager Craig Shakespeare's future, played their part in an entertaining game.
Ben Chilwell momentarily sparked hopes of a fightback by making it 2-1, but the Foxes ultimately had no answer to this in-form Tottenham side, who recorded their biggest away win in the Premier League.
This, the 13th Premier League matchday in 18 May days, was effectively another dead rubber. But, while the league has failed to deliver the close title race the television schedulers were hoping for, no blame can be attached to Tottenham.
Spurs have won 12 of their past 13 league games and have been kept at bay only by the remarkable resilience of Chelsea, who ensured it has been a case of 'nearly' for Pochettino and his players for the second season in a row.
Third last season despite being Leicester's closest challengers for most of the campaign - or, as the home fans enjoyed chanting in the opening stages, "third in a two-horse race" - Spurs have gone one better this time. Much better, in fact.
This dominant win took them past Leicester's title-winning haul of 81 points, and they have enough on the board to have won the Premier League on eight previous occasions - with a game still to come.
Son's superb strikes mean that - for the first time in the club's history - they have three players who have scored 20 goals in a season, and took them beyond 75 league goals for the first time since 1984-85.
Add in the division's meanest defence - Hugo Lloris' mistake for Chilwell's goal notwithstanding - and it is no surprise Pochettino has committed his future to the club.
As White Hart Lane is dismantled and rebuilt, Spurs' summer seems likely to be flavoured by reports and fears of the team going the same way.
Right-back Kyle Walker - again left out, albeit this time with an ankle problem - has long been linked with a move, and Pochettino admitted this week the club may struggle to compete with clubs offering huge salaries this summer.
That may have sounded alarm bells for supporters, but the good news for them is it would surely take record numbers to prise away either of the side's crown jewels.
Kane and Alli have scored 43 Premier League goals between them this season and were outstanding again, along with Son, in a dynamic attacking display.
Those three players alone had 19 efforts on goal, while Alli's chipped assist for Son's first goal was further evidence of his growing influence and inventiveness.
Kane, who tapped in Son's cross to open the scoring, added a close-range header then twice thrashed past Kasper Schmeichel from the edge of the area, could become the first man since Robin van Persie to win the golden boot in successive seasons.
There is no doubt Spurs have the quality to be champions. If they can repeat their home form while on 'holiday' at Wembley, perhaps the wait for a league title will end after 57 years.
Stage set for Shakespeare's second act?
Shakespeare said this week he expects to find out if he will remain in charge of the Foxes "within days".
He has certainly made a strong case to be retained, but his side's second-half capitulation must be a disappointment, particularly as a comeback briefly looked possible when Chilwell scored his first career goal, prodding in after Jamie Vardy had gone around an out-of-position Lloris.
A second big decision of the season now looms for the Leicester hierarchy, who were widely criticised for sacking Claudio Ranieri in February, just months after he delivered the title.
They must surely consider themselves vindicated, despite such a heavy defeat. The Foxes were one point above the relegation zone when Shakespeare took over with 13 matches left but survived easily thanks to seven wins in Shakespeare's 12 league games.
In fact, had the season begun when he took over, Leicester would once again be dreaming of Europe.
Shakespeare has one final home game to impress as Leicester host Bournemouth, while Tottenham wrap up their campaign at relegated Hull. All Premier League games on Sunday, 21 May kick off at 15:00 BST.

George Osborne has used his first Conservative Budget to slash benefits for low-paid workers - but will force businesses to pay them more.

The National Living Wage, starting at £7.20 and rising to £9 an hour by 2020, replaces the £6.50 minimum wage.
The chancellor scrapped student grants and froze working age benefits but increased the overall tax take to slow the pace of welfare cuts.
Labour leader Harriet Harman said the Budget made "working people worse off".
Measures announced in the Budget statement include:
£47.2bn
raised through tax increases
£34.9bn
raised from cuts to welfare
Inheritance tax threshold rises to £1m
Corporation tax cut to 18%
Personal allowance rises to  £11,000
National hourly "living wage" by 2020 of  £9
Mr Osborne unveiled a downgraded growth forecast for the UK this year, of 2.4%, and pushed back the date at which the UK's public finances would move into surplus by a year to 2019-20.
The Office for Budget Responsibility said public spending would be £83bn higher over the next five years than Mr Osborne said in his March Budget - and the £24.6bn tax cuts announced in the Budget would be dwarfed by £47.2bn in tax rises, including the car tax changes and increasing the tax on insurance premiums from November.
Welfare cuts would add up to £35bn over the next five years.
Paul Johnson, of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said Mr Osborne's package was "overall a tax-raising Budget" but he had not been "as harsh as he said he was going to be" on welfare cuts, which would be spread over a longer period.
So it turns out George Osborne did not need Lib Dems in government to tell him to take off his hair shirt.
Because today's Budget is massively less austere than the one forged with them in March, just before the election.

Harman: Families will still suffer
Unveiling the first Conservative Budget since 1996, Mr Osborne said the UK economy today was "fundamentally stronger than it was five years ago", with living standards rising strongly.
And his Budget was "a plan for Britain for the next five years to keep moving us from a low wage, high tax, high welfare economy; to the higher wage, lower tax, lower welfare country we intend to create".
In a surprise announcement at the end of his speech, he said workers aged over 25 would be entitled to a "national living wage" from next April, to soften the impact of in-work benefit cuts.
The current minimum wage, which applies to those aged over 21, is £6.50. Those entitled to the "living wage" will get £7.20 and that will rise to £9 an hour by 2020. Labour had vowed to increase the minimum wage to £8 by 2020 during the general election campaign.
The move is expected to boost the wages of six million people but may cause firms to recruit more under-25s, who will be on a lower rate, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility.
The Treasury confirmed the measure would apply to both the public and private sectors.
Mr Osborne announced that the £26,000 benefit cap - the amount one household can claim in a year - would be cut to £23,000 in London and £20,000 in the rest of the country.
The government will also make local authority and housing association tenants in England who earn more than £30,000 - or £40,000 in London - pay up to the market rent, but rents in the social housing sector will be reduced by 1% a year for the next four years.
The chancellor unveiled "just under half" of the £37bn in cuts he says are needed to clear the deficit, with the remainder to come from cuts to government departments to be announced in the autumn.
The chancellor announced an estimated £4.5bn cut to the £30bn-a-year tax credits system, which tops up the wages of low-paid workers, significantly reducing the amount someone can earn before they start losing benefit money.
Support for children through tax credits and universal credits will also be limited to two children, affecting children born after April 2017 unless the third child is the result of twins, triplets or other multiple birth.
Tax credits are a type of welfare payment, introduced by Gordon Brown in 2003, that allow unemployed people to keep some of their benefits when they get a low-paid job and are also paid to disabled workers and those responsible for children. They are due to be phased out when Universal Credit is introduced.
In other Budget announcements, the chancellor increased the personal allowance - the amount people can earn before they start paying tax.
He also tightened up eligibility for "non dom" tax status and said the NHS would receive a further £8bn by 2020, on top of £2bn already committed.
In her Budget response, Labour's acting leader Harriet Harman said: "The chancellor is said to be liberated without the ties of coalition holding him back but what we have heard today suggests his rhetoric is liberated from reality."
"A Budget for working people? How can you make that claim when you are making working people worse off," she said.
"You are making working people worse off by cutting tax credits and scrapping grants for the poorest students."
UKIP MP Douglas Carswell said it might become "politically unsustainable" to keep public sector pay rises frozen at 1% for four years if the economy grew.
But he welcomed cuts to tax credits, saying "we've got to unravel the disastrous system that Gordon Brown created" where public money subsidises big firms paying low wages.
The SNP's economy spokesman and deputy leader, Stewart Hosie, said the Budget would hit the "the poorest and the most vulnerable" and do nothing to improve productivity or encourage innovation.
A Lib Dem spokesman said: "Amongst the gimmicks and giveaways, the chancellor has hidden four more years of pain, austerity, and cuts."
Business groups gave Mr Osborne's Living Wage announcement a mixed reaction, with the Institute of Directors saying it was "time for companies to increase pay" but the CBI saying the government was taking "a big gamble" on wage increases industry might not be able to deliver.
The Living Wage Foundation director Rhys Moore said the proposed £9 rate was a "massive victory" for campaigners, but that it was "effectively a higher national minimum wage and not a living wage", due to the different ways the two rates are calculated.
The TUC welcomed the Living Wage announcement but said Mr Osborne was "giving with one hand taking with the other" and "massive cuts in support for working people will hit families with children hardest".


Wales will have to learn to deal with increased pressure in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers following their Euro 2016 exploits, says Kit Symons.

Chris Coleman's side reached the semi-finals in Wales' first appearance at a major tournament in 58 years.
Symons is set to return to the coaching set-up ahead of the opening qualifier against Moldova on 5 September.
"Because we've had such a fantastic tournament, teams will be even keener to beat us," he said.
"But this group of players that we've got, having the success we've had makes us hungrier.
"We want to qualify now for the World Cup and have another really successful tournament.
"That's what we're aiming for and I can't see any reason why that can't happen."

Wales will also face Austria, Serbia, the Republic of Ireland and Georgia in World Cup qualifying group D.
Coleman, who succeeded the late Gary Speed in January 2012, has said the 2018 World Cup campaign will be his last as Wales manager.
The 46-year-old former Fulham, Coventry City and Real Sociedad boss agreed a two-year contract extension with the Football Association of Wales before Euro 2016.
Symons, who is set to return to Coleman's team in place of Cardiff City head coach Paul Trollope, believes his former team-mate will eventually be a success in club management.
"After the Euros and the great success we had there, he could have gone off and got a club job now," Symons told BBC Wales Sport.
"He's committed himself to Wales and is desperate to see the World Cup campaign through and hopefully it will be a successful campaign for us.
"But come the end of the campaign, without a doubt, he'll go back into club management and I'm sure he'll be very successful."


It was standing room only at the funeral of a World War Two veteran following a social media appeal for mourners.

Stewart Cooney, 95, served with the Royal Artillery and died in a care home in Leeds last month.
Hundreds attended his funeral earlier, including Royal British Legion standard bearers, a piper and soldiers from his old regiment.
One organiser, Martyn Simpson, said: "We never let a brother go alone."
Other mourners included Army Reserve soldiers, a motorbike escort from the Royal British Legion Riders and members of the public.
All the seats inside the crematorium were taken and mourners left outside watched the service on television screens.
When the funeral was arranged it was believed Mr Cooney had no surviving relatives, however two women understood to be his sisters came forward after hearing of his death.
As the mourners stood outside the chapel awaiting Mr Cooney's final journey to Pudsey church, Barry Fretwell, president of Mirfield Royal British Legion, said: "It was incredibly heart-warming how people had responded".
Stacey Williams, carer at Carlton Lodge where Mr Cooney died, said he would have been overwhelmed by the turnout from strangers.
"He was the kind of man who just didn't expect that kind of thing."
Hundreds of people rallied round to ensure soldier Stewart Cooney got the send-off he deserved.
This tide of strangers stood together, united in effort to ensure Mr Cooney's passing was marked by more than just a gathering of social workers, care workers and a priest.
The hearse was escorted to the crematorium by dozens of motorbikers from the Royal British Legion - clad in leather, regimental numbers on their arms identifying them as former servicemen.
Recalling Troop Sergeant Major Cooney's military life, celebrant Lynda Gomersall described how he had served in many places including Egypt, Syria and Italy's battle of Monte Cassino. She spoke of his deep love for his wife 'Barnsley Betty' and his adopted son Niall.
Quiet laughter filled the chapel when she recounted his days at the nursing home, he was described as a "cheeky chappie" who "tried his luck with the ladies".

Mr Simpson, who served in the RAF and is a Royal British Legion standard bearer, said having seen the online appeals he also helped spread the word and had been amazed by the response.
"It's a marvellous thing, I feel quite emotional. He served in World War Two and I don't know his history but anybody who served deserves this," he said.
Dougie Eastwood, who works for the company that runs Colton Lodges in which Mr Cooney died, started the appeal after he noticed Royal Artillery insignia in Mr Cooney's room.
Mr Eastwood, who also served in the Royal Artillery for 25 years, said: "He outlived his wife and son."
He added: " I got in touch with 269 Royal Artillery based in Leeds and it just went viral.
"I couldn't see his funeral only attended by a couple of care workers, a social worker and a priest.
"I'm quite happy he'll go the way an old soldier like him should do."
The Yorkshire Evening Post also appealed for mourners to attend the funeral.
Lynda Gomersall offered her services after seeing the appeal on Facebook. She spoke to Mr Cooney's carers and looked through old records to write the eulogy.
"I don't think anybody should go without recognition, especially soldiers," she said.


Labour's Albert Owen has held Ynys Mon, which had been the most marginal seat in north west Wales.

He had been challenged by former Plaid Cymru leader Ieuan Wyn Jones, who came third after the Conservatives.
Elsewhere Plaid's Hywel Williams narrowly retained Arfon by less than 100 votes and colleague Liz Saville Roberts held Dwyfor Meirionnydd.
The Tories' Guto Bebb held on to Aberconwy.
Mr Owen, who had his biggest majority since he was first elected in 2001, said: "I think there's been a miscalculation by the prime minister and she's misread the mood of the country and the mood was reflected here on Anglesey by people who wanted to talk about the issues of health, education, the economy and various other things."
He said a number of young people had registered with Labour for the first time wanting to help with their campaign.
"One of the things I'm going to do as the MP now is to get a youth forum and crystallise that enthusiasm... so young people's voices get heard loud and clear in Westminster," he said.
Speaking about his Arfon win by a small majority, Hywel Williams said: "That's what happens when you have a presidential election run by both large parties on a May versus Corbyn basis. The third party gets squeezed.
"What's significant about this seat is that we won, with a small majority but our vote remains stable."
Mr Bebb said he was relieved to hold Aberconwy, with a 635 majority over Labour.
"I'll be perfectly frank, I never thought we were going to have the 10% lead that YouGov predicted at the start of this campaign," he said, "but I also never expected to be looking at such a tight results in Aberconwy and losses in other parts of Wales so it's really a disappointing night for the Conservatives in Wales."
He said it was premature to talk about mistakes but said something quite complex and interesting had happened.
"I think there's something more fundamental going on," he added.


Bradford's pursuit of automatic promotion to the Championship stuttered with a draw at Charlton.

City slipped to fifth in League One after Timothee Dieng's header secured a point when Jorge Teixiera had given the hosts the lead, but fell further behind the top three after Sheffield United, Fleetwood and Bolton each won.
Bradford captain Romain Vincelot had shot just wide of the left post from 25 yards in only the third minute, and they again went close when Tony McMahon tested goalkeeper Declan Rudd with a 35-yard free-kick and when Nathanial Knight-Percival sent a close-range header just over the crossbar.
The flat hosts had offered little in response, but in the 35th minute they took the lead.
From a central free-kick, Ricky Holmes crossed towards Patrick Bauer, who headed towards Teixiera from where the defender controlled possession before classily finishing into the top-right corner beyond Colin Doyle.
It took only eight minutes for Bradford to score their equaliser as Mark Marshall's powerful shot from the edge of the area was spilt straight to Dieng by Rudd, and from close range in front of a near-open goal he headed into the bottom-right corner.
The hosts responded with greater intensity during the second half, creating enough chances to secure victory and Tony Watt had already forced a save from Doyle when they went close through both Fredrik Ulvestad and Johnnie Jackson, but the goal they required remained beyond their reach.

Edinburgh all but sealed a place in the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup with an impressive victory at Harlequins.

Lock Fraser McKenzie burst through Quins' defence to touch down and Duncan Weir added two penalties to give Edinburgh a 13-6 half-time advantage.
Edinburgh's Allan Dell extended the lead, before Quins' Joe Gray crashed over twice for a losing bonus point.
Quins and Edinburgh will both qualify with victories next weekend.
Edinburgh should go through easily as they host the pool's bottom side Timisoara Saracens on Friday - the Romanians having conceded 203 points in their first four matches.
Last season's beaten finalists Harlequins, who drop to second behind Edinburgh, travel to Stade Francais on Sunday, 22 January.
Timisoara Saracens and Stade Francais will have to rearrange their fixture in Romania after it was postponed on Saturday because of a frozen pitch.
Harlequins: Brown; Yarde, Alofa, Marchant, Walker; Swiel, Care (capt); Murphy, Buchanan, Sinckler, Merrick, Matthews, Chisholm, Ward, Clifford.

Two Palestinians aged 12 and 13 have stabbed and wounded an Israeli security guard in East Jerusalem, police say.

The 12-year-old was shot and injured, and the other caught unharmed. Two other stabbing attempts were thwarted in and near the city, police said.
The pair are among the youngest alleged assailants in more than a month of near-daily stabbings of Israelis by Palestinians.
Ten Israelis and dozens of Palestinians have been killed in the recent unrest.
Many of the Palestinian fatalities were attackers, shot by their victims or security forces.
The surge in violence began in September when tensions at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem revered by Jews and Muslims boiled over amid rumours that Israel planned to relax long-standing rules to strengthen Jewish rights at the complex. Israel has repeatedly denied such claims.
Israeli police said the 12- and 13-year-old boys stabbed and moderately wounded the guard on a light rail train in the settlement of Pisgat Zeev.
The guard shot the younger boy, and the 13-year-old was held by passengers until police arrived and arrested the suspects.
Shortly afterwards, a 37-year-old Palestinian was shot dead after trying to stab two guards outside the Damascus Gate entrance to Jerusalem's walled Old City, according to police.
In the nearby suburb of Abu Dis, another Palestinian was shot dead after trying to stab security forces at a checkpoint, police said.


Irish language campaign group, Conradh na Gaeilge, is to challenge the Northern Ireland Executive in court.

It claims that the government has failed in its duty to implement an Irish language strategy.
The group said the Irish language community felt "hugely disappointed and frustrated".
Conradh president Cóilín Ó Cearbhaill said a strategy for Irish had been published in January 2015.
It followed consultation carried out by Culture Minister Caral ní Chuilín.
"Conradh na Gaeilge therefore finds it unsatisfactory that the strategy has not yet been accepted by the executive, despite the progressive steps as outlined above having been taken," he said.
In a statement on Monday, the group said it was taking legal proceedings against the executive to see that the Irish language strategy 2015-2035 was implemented, as outlined under the 2006 St Andrew's Agreement.


Manchester United produced their best performance of the season in a 2-2 draw against West Brom at The Hawthorns, according to manager Louis van Gaal.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Red Devils twice came from behind, with Marouane Fellaini and Daley Blind, late on, cancelling out Stephane Sessegnon and Saido Berahino strikes.
"I'm disappointed because we played our best match of the season and the result is not good enough," said Van Gaal, 63.
"We could have won but that does not count in our world."
United are still without a victory away from home under Van Gaal, who replaced David Moyes in the summer after steering the Netherlands to the World Cup semi-finals.
While the Red Devils had 63% of possession and registered 22 shots, with seven on target, they looked vulnerable at the back as the Baggies exposed their inexperienced backline on numerous occasions, scoring with both of their shots on target.
Despite that, Van Gaal remained positive about his side's display.
"I have to be happy because we created lots of chances and West Brom only had two chances," he said. "We gave it away, which is a pity because we could have had a new start if we had won.
"There were individual errors and they were forced because West Brom were playing more narrow in midfield and we had to push up."
The Dutchman insisted his team would not sacrifice any of its attacking flair in order to prevent similar defensive mistakes.
"I don't think that is the solution," he said. "Football is made to play attractively for the fans.
"And I think today the fans have enjoyed, not only the Manchester United fans but also the West Bromwich Albion fans, because it was a great game.
"I am happy about our style of play but not happy about the result."
Van Gaal introduced Fellaini as a half-time substitute, and the move paid instant dividends when the Belgian netted his first goal for the club with a stinging shot from the edge of the area, equalising after Sessegnon had smashed home the opener.
Berahino restored the home side's lead with a cool finish after being played in on goal but Blind equalised in the 87th minute with a low shot from 20 yards.
United face Premier League leaders Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday before a visit to second-placed Manchester City seven days later.
"I don't think it was a good result for us because the next two games will be difficult," midfielder Fellaini, 26, told BBC Sport. "The manager asked me to put pressure on the box and to keep fighting. I did and I managed to score."
West Brom manager Alan Irvine said his side were "disappointed" not to hold on for all three points against a team they beat at Old Trafford last season.
"We were so close to getting a fantastic result and for us to be in our dressing room feeling bitterly disappointed is a feeling we won't experience much," said Irvine. "We thought the three points were there for the taking.
"We scored two fantastic goals with two fantastic moves. Saido Berahino has good role models here. He is a good finisher with both feet and is very composed in those situations, I wasn't surprised when he scored.
"I enjoyed tonight and I'm enjoying the job, the players are so responsive. We're making progress and I can't praise them enough for how they've reacted since I came to the club."


Pop singer Dane Bowers has been convicted of assaulting his beauty queen ex-girlfriend.

Sophia Cahill, of Torfaen, said Mr Bowers had hit her in the face, pulled her hair and squeezed her throat.
District Judge Andrew Sweet told the former Another Level star he was "satisfied that he assaulted her in the manner she described".
Bowers, who will be sentenced next month, told Croydon Magistrates' Court he was acting in self-defence.
He accepted he made contact with her during a scuffle at his parents' home, but said it was accidental, the court heard.
Judge Sweet said he had not ruled out the possibility of a prison sentence and adjourned the case for sentencing until 15 October.


A terminally ill boy had his wish to see his parents marry granted when they had their wedding at his hospital bedside days before he died.

Five-year-old Corey Edwards, from Teignmouth, Devon, who had a congenital heart defect, was being treated at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
Jemma and Craig Edwards decided on the bedside wedding when they were told Corey could die in hospital.
Corey died on Thursday evening, five days after his parents got married.
Mr Edwards said it was "a day we will never forget".
Corey, who was diagnosed with a complex congenital heart defect when he was seven months old, was on the paediatric intensive care unit after being admitted in January.
His parents organised Saturday's wedding in 48 hours, after being told their son did not have much longer to live. They also had to get special permission from the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Mr Edwards said: "He's [Corey] asked quite a few times why we are not married, so we thought we would make it a special day and cheer him up a bit."
The couple said they "rushed into town" to buy wedding clothes and "made do with their engagement rings".
Hospital staff helped, with one nurse doing the bride's hair and another making the wedding cake.
Craig Edwards said: "Instead of being at his bedside crying the whole time at least on that one day we had a real special day. We know he was happy that day."
Hospital chaplain the Reverend Stephen Oram said: "It was fulfilling the wish of a dying child.
"It was also emotional because we knew the outcome for poor Corey isn't going to be a good outcome and everyone was just aware of the specialness of the day for Mr and Mrs Edwards and Corey."


The boardrooms of top UK companies have undergone a "culture change", with a growing number of women in decision-making roles, a report has said.

Lord Davies, Britain's former trade minister, said women now accounted for 20.7% of board members in the FTSE 100 firms, up from 12.5% in 2011.
He wants women to occupy a quarter of all board positions by 2015.
The report also said there was a "growing recognition" of the benefits of equality to business.
The social and economic benefits of having more women on boards were also increasingly appreciated, Lord Davies' review found.
He said: "The rate of change that we have seen at the heart of our biggest companies over the last three years has been impressive.
"The voluntary approach is working and companies have got the message that better balanced boards bring real business benefits.
"We are finally seeing a culture change taking place at the heart of British business."
But he said the "eyes of the world" were on Britain, and the UK needed to prove it could promote equality on a voluntary basis, not by regulation.
Businesses are coming round to having women on boards, Newton Investment Management chief executive Helena Morrissey told the BBC.
"Mysteriously, the chairmen often say that the men behave better when the women are around," she said.
"Really the arguments are that you need diversity of thought, diversity of perspective," she added. "This has moved away from being politically correct, this is a move to being regarded as good business sense."
Lord Davies published a review in 2011 called 'Women on Boards'. He said "real progress" had been made in the intervening years, with "more women than ever before" in top positions.
Business Secretary Vince Cable said the figures showed businesses were getting the right mix of talent "around their boardroom table".
He said: "98 of the FTSE 100 boards are now made up of at least one woman and we need fewer than 50 new women appointments to FTSE 100 boards to reach our target of 25% of women on all FTSE 100 boards in the next year.
"This is a huge improvement from where we started just three years ago."
Mr Cable called for a "renewed, concentrated effort" by company chairs and chief executives to "change the make up" of their "top table".
He added: "More needs to be done to improve the number of women in executive positions.
"These will be the CEOs of tomorrow and businesses still aren't tapping into the vast talent pool available to them."
Shadow minister for women and equalities Gloria De Piero said the UK was making "decent progress" but it was a "bit early to be celebrating" as women represented 50% of the population.
She said a lack of diversity led to poorer company performance and that Labour would consider introducing quotas if progress was not made.
Ms De Piero added: "But there's also a role for government to play in setting the right example to business.
"With just five women out of 33 in the cabinet, and women only making up 20% of government ministers, David Cameron and Nick Clegg have shut women's voices out of their own top table."
Maria Miller, minister for women and equalities, said: "The workplace was designed by men for men. Women do not need special treatment, they just need a modernised workplace that gives them a level playing field."
She said supporting women to fulfil their potential should be a "core business issue" for the "long term sustainability of our economy".


There has been a certain amount of confusion today about Labour's approach to borrowing.

It started with the party's leader in Scotland, Jim Murphy, saying that the party would not need to make "further cuts to achieve our spending rules" in the next parliament.
Then, shadow chancellor Ed Balls appeared to contradict that on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, and Ed Miliband, in his speech launching the Labour manifesto, clearly ruled out a policy of having no cuts at all in departmental spending after 2016.
The confusion arises from the different promises the parties are making. The Conservatives have said that by the end of the next parliament they will be raising more money than they spend on anything. Labour is undertaking to eliminate the current deficit by the end of the next parliament, which means only borrowing to invest.
The confusion grows further because the Labour manifesto says: "We will get national debt falling and a surplus on the current budget as soon as possible in the next Parliament."
If Labour is still borrowing to invest then the national debt will not be falling - it will be rising. The party probably means that the total debt will be falling as a proportion of the total amount produced by the economy, but it does not say that.
The next question, which was posed by many journalists at the manifesto launch, is how soon will the current deficit be eliminated.
This is crucial, because the Institute for Fiscal Studies agrees with Jim Murphy that if the current deficit is not to be eliminated until 2020 then there is no need for further cuts.
Mr Murphy is right that no further cuts are needed to meet the fiscal target, but the party leadership plans to make them anyway.
Mr Miliband and Mr Balls say the current deficit will be eliminated "as soon as possible" so there will have to be extra cuts. We don't know how severe those cuts will be because we do not know how soon a Labour government would try to get rid of it.
It may be that a Labour government would pursue a radical anti-austerity policy as Jim Murphy suggests, or it could be that it would make more severe cuts than the Tories - we just don't know.
In an interview with the BBC News Channel, shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said that Labour may not need to borrow to invest at all, which would bring its borrowing pledge into line with the Conservative one. But he did not go quite that far.
"There are no commitments in this manifesto that entail additional borrowing - that includes capital commitments," he said.
So it sounds like the new policy is only to borrow to fund investment schemes that do not appear in the 2015 manifesto - and that's an unusual-sounding borrowing pledge.

Police have issued an e-fit of a man suspected of sexually assaulting a woman in her own home.

The 35-year-old victim was woken up by repeated knocking at her front door in Heald Green, Stockport on 20 December, and attacked after opening it.
Police said it was a "terrifying attack" and the woman's children could hear her screaming.
The suspect is described as about 20 years old, 6ft (1.8m) tall, of a slim build and Asian, wearing a hooded top.
Det Insp Julia Bowden said: "Incidents of this nature are horrifying but rare and we are doing everything in our power to find the man responsible.
"I would urge anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area at the time to please contact us immediately."


A memorial to the last deep pit to close in north Wales is being installed to mark a community's industrial past.

The refurbished headgear of Point of Ayr Colliery, near Prestatyn, is being erected alongside the coast road close to Ffynnongroyw, Flintshire.
The colliery closed in 1996 after more than 100 years but there is only a small plaque in the village to show it was once a mining area.
The pit opened in the 1880s and at its peak employed 500 workers.
The memorial is to be officially unveiled in March.


Young musician Tom sent a message to Simon Cowell after he repeatedly got asked to go on Britain's Got Talent.

22 February 2017 Last updated at 12:02 GMT
He put a note on Twitter to say ' Thanks for all your phone calls and your invitations to your TV talent show. Sorry if my first answer wasn't clear enough but I don't want to be in this competition.'
Contestants in talent shows can apply directly to be on them but sometimes people are approached by the TV company and encouraged to take part.
Britain's Got Talent said:
'We travel the length and breadth of the country to find the best talent to make them aware of the show and auditions. We do then encourage acts to apply but any such acts will be required to audition on the same basis as any other applicant and normal programme rules apply.
So why did Tom turn down the chance to go on BGT? He's been telling Jenny.


A search has begun for the locations of the Cairngorms' "lost" bobbin mills.

The Woodland Trust has sought old records and photographs of the mills that made bobbins for Scotland's textiles industry in the 19th Century.
Sites that are known include one at South Kinrara, now called Inshriach, near Aviemore. The mill there was in operation until 1892, the trust said.
There was also a mill at Kincraig and possibly others in Glen Tromie and Glentruim.
Brothers William and Andrew Taylor, from Stonehaven, established the mills at South Kinara and Kincraig.
The Woodland Trust believe other mill sites have been forgotten. It said newspaper article from 1881 reported that "bobbin mills could be seen in half-a-dozen places" in the Badenoch area of the Cairngorms.
This research is part of the charity's Ancient Woodland Restoration project, which is working to restore ancient woodland in the Cairngorms and nine other areas throughout Scotland.
Researcher Joanna Gilliatt said: "Bobbin making was once a considerable rural industry in parts of Scotland; it consumed large quantities of birch wood, and produced millions of bobbins, essential for the textile industries.
"Yet most of us have never even heard of bobbin mills, and there is often no physical trace left of them."
"It would be great to hear from anybody who knows what the bobbins produced in Badenoch looked like and where they were used."
She added: "I'd also really like to know why the bobbin mill at South Kinrara was closed down. I've looked for William Taylor's grave at Rothiemurchus, but haven't found it, so it would also be great to hear from anybody who knows where it is."


Public hearings at the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA) come to an end on Friday after two and a half years.

Hundreds of witnesses have given testimony to the inquiry that has been examining allegations of historical abuse and neglect.
A report is expected next year.
The HIA was set up in 2013 to investigate child abuse in residential institutions in Northern Ireland over a 73-year period, up to 1995.
Analysis - BBC News NI's Kevin Sharkey
Men and women who were vulnerable children in care in Northern Ireland between 1922 and 1995 have appeared before the inquiry to give accounts of their childhood abuse.
Now middle-aged or elderly, they travelled to Northern Ireland from across the UK and Ireland.
Many others gave evidence from around the world, particularly from Australia.
Now they must all wait until the final report is given to politicians at Stormont, six months from now.
Ministers will then decide how to respond to a number of issues, including compensation.
These included a range of institutions, run by the church, state and voluntary sector.
It has been led by retired judge Sir Anthony Hart.


Almost 29 million people lived in internal displacement in 2012, with 6.5 million newly displaced just in the past year, a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council suggests.

For the fourth year running, Colombia has the highest number of internally displaced people on the list.
Globally, the total number of displaced people has risen, with the conflict in Syria blamed for much of the spike.
A third of all internally displaced are in sub-Saharan Africa, the report says.
The annual report by the Norwegian Refugee Council's Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) suggests internal displacement - in which people flee from violence without crossing their country's borders - will continue to accelerate unless permanent solutions to conflicts are found.
IDMC Director Kate Halff says that governments are "responsible for finding long-term solutions for their displaced citizens".
The report says that Colombia, with its estimated 4.9 to 5.5 million internally displaced people tops the global list.
It estimates that Colombia's internal armed conflict forced around 230,000 people to flee their homes in 2012.
However, the report says that the figure is provisional, as the government did not publish official figures for the past year.
It also notes that the figure fails to include those people displaced as a result of violence carried out by criminal and drug-trafficking gangs.
That violence, however, has been on the up, with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos recognising the rise of the criminal gangs as one of the main threats facing the country.
On Sunday, police figures suggested that Colombia's largest criminal gang, Los Urabenos, now has more members than the left-wing rebel group, the National Liberation Army (ELN).
Both the Colombian Red Cross and the IDMC have warned that the victims of criminal gangs in Colombia do not receive the same official recognition as those victimised by the Farc or ELN rebel groups.
Police say the Urabenos have more than 2,000 members and operate in major cities such as Medellin, as well as rural areas, where they engage in drug and arms trafficking and extortion.
Colombia has suffered from almost five decades of civil conflict with both left-wing guerrilla groups and right-wing paramilitaries fighting each other, and the security forces.
Negotiators representing the government and the Farc rebel group are currently holding peace negotiations in Cuba in an attempt to end the conflict.
The government has also launched a restitution programme aimed at returning land stolen as part of the conflict to its rightful owners.


Parts of handheld guns have been found at a North Yorkshire battlefield which saw one of the bloodiest conflicts of the War of the Roses.

A metal detectorist unearthed the fragments of the guns, thought to date back to the 15th Century, at the site in Towton, near Tadcaster.
The find contradicts the idea that guns were only used in that period of history to attack castles.
Experts say it sheds light on the use of guns by troops in medieval battles.
Tim Sutherland, an archaeologist visiting the University of York, said the unearthing of the parts of gun barrels was "incredibly important" - but possibly unlucky for the soldier who had been holding the weapon in the conflict in 1461.
The manufacturing of firearms in that period of time was notoriously unreliable, Mr Sutherland said.
He revealed the reason the guns were probably not found intact was that it was not uncommon for the weapon to explode in the user's hands because of metal casting faults.
Experts at the ISIS Research Centre in Oxfordshire, which uses neutron analysis to examine samples in minute detail, said the finds were "unique in Britain".
Mr Sutherland said: "In terms of its rarity, we don't know of any other battlefield where one of these has turned up.
"In terms of the Towton battlefield, it's very important because we're looking at the cusp of the use of archery and the introduction of handguns.
"When we analyse the internal coating, that has the constituent parts of gunpowder.
"It's incredibly important and we still can't believe we've found this."
He added: "We have fragments of handguns that exploded during the Battle of Towton - how rare can you get? It's unbelievable."
The Battle of Towton saw up to 28,000 soldiers killed on a single day and has been named as one of the bloodiest battles to ever take place on English soil.
Metal detector user Simon Richardson, who was trawling the site for objects said he was not sure what he had found on the battlefield.
He said: "I found two pieces on two separate occasions.
"I had an idea of what they were, but it's pretty rare.
"I had previously found a lead ball, so I knew guns had been used."
Dr Evelyn Godfrey, who analysed the fragments at ISIS said the fragments had revealed more about battlefield weapons.
She said: "We have looked at the crystal structure of the objects
"Almost certainly there are two different alloys which came from two different castings.
"They are almost certainly from two different guns."
But the effectiveness of early battlefield firearms was not a refined art.
"The weapons did more damage and scared horses than it did to the opposition," Mr Sutherland said.


A former police officer who conned business associates and the taxman out of £1m has been jailed for four and a half years.

Ben Staff, 35, resigned from Norfolk Police in 2008 but used his connections to gain his victims' trust, Norwich Crown Court heard.
He then used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle.
Sentencing Staff, Judge Mark Dennis QC described his actions as "thoroughly dishonest conduct".
Staff, of Lucas Court, Norwich, bought cars and holidays, renovated his home and paid for his wedding.
The court heard how he directed payments intended for his building and development companies into his personal accounts, gave creditors cheques that bounced and fraudulently claimed VAT refunds.
Staff was found guilty of eight fraud-related charges at two previous trials.
His wife, Catriona Staff, 33, also a police officer, was also charged in both trials but cleared on all counts.
She now faces internal disciplinary procedures.
Judge Dennis said Staff had "continually fobbed people off".
"You were dealing with honest and hardworking individuals who were acting in the same difficult financial climate that you faced," he told him.
"You slipped into a selfish habit of dishonesty which became your default position."
David Wilson, prosecuting, said it was "sophisticated" fraud and that Staff attempted to blame professionals such as accountants.
Judge Dennis disqualified Staff from holding a directorship for 10 years. A proceeds of crime hearing will take place at a later date.
Amiot Vollenweider, mitigating, told Judge Dennis that prison would be "tougher" for former police officer Staff than for most people.
The judge said: "A former policeman should have known better."


There is no guarantee that the steel industry will avoid further job losses, a senior Tata executive has told MPs.

The Welsh Affairs Committee was taking evidence after the firm announced 750 jobs were going in Port Talbot.
Stuart Wilkie, director of Tata Strip Products UK, said EU action was needed to tackle cheap imports, and relief needed on high energy costs.
Business Minister Anna Soubry told MPs compensation had been promised but she did not know why it was taking so long.
Giving evidence on Wednesday, Mr Wilkie said steel import prices into the UK were at an "unsustainable" level.
He said in early 2015 a strong pound had already made exports "quite difficult" before cheap Chinese and Russian imports then pushed prices down.
Cardiff North Conservative MP Craig Williams asked if there could be further job losses at Tata and other companies.
Mr Wilkie said that he could not give guarantees.
He said it was important to see some EU action over Chinese and Russian imports along with relief on energy costs.
Tim Morris, head of public affairs for Tata Steel Europe, said the problem was global, with job losses in the United States and other parts of Europe.
Government action was not a "silver bullet", but it did have "an important part to play", he said.
Mr Morris added that Tata had effectively been waiting for two years for state aid, which they anticipated would come in March.
Business Minister Anna Soubry said she did not know why the compensation was taking so long.
"If people have got problems with the compensation not being paid I would expect them to come and speak to me directly, and I'll do everything I can to speed it up, no debate about that," she said.
Monmouth Conservative MP David Davies asked why government subsidies were being given to companies that were not willing to support British products.
Ms Soubry said: "You can't force them to buy British - we are a free market economy."


A paedophile who abused young girls and filmed some of his crimes has been jailed for 15 years.

Police found more than 4,400 images and movies of children on multiple phones, tablets and laptops belonging to Kevin Simon Ford, aged 23.
He admitted three charges of sexual activity, two of sexual assault, and five of making images of children.
He also admitted one of inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity at Taunton Crown Court.
Det Con Tony Davis described Ford, of no fixed address, as a "vile man who took advantage of his victims' families in order to carry out horrific abuse and sexual offences on girls, some of which he filmed".
"The sexual abuse of children and the viewing and sharing of indecent images are abhorrent offences and we're committed to supporting victims and bringing offenders to justice," he said.


BBC News examines key questions surrounding the bitter dispute over the flashpoint religious site at Ayodhya in northern India - in 1992 it prompted some of the country's worst religious violence since partition.

What is the row about?
Hindus and Muslims have been at loggerheads for more than a century over the Babri mosque in Ayodhya, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
Hindus claim the mosque was the birthplace of one of their most revered deities, Lord Ram, and that it was built after the destruction of a Hindu temple by a Muslim invader in the 16th Century.
Muslims say they offered prayers at the mosque until December 1949, when some people placed the idols of Ram under the cover of darkness in the mosque. The worship of the idols began soon after.
Over the next four decades, Hindu and Muslim groups went to court over the control of the site and the right to offer prayers there.
The dispute erupted in 1992 when a Hindu mob destroyed the mosque, and nearly 2,000 people were killed in subsequent religious riots across the country.
What do the courts say about the row?
Allahabad High Court's ruling in September 2010 addressed three questions. It said that the disputed spot was Ram's birthplace, that the mosque was built after the demolition of a temple and that it was not built in accordance with the tenets of Islam.
Following the decision, Hindus hope to see a temple built on the site, while Muslims are still demanding the reconstruction of the mosque.
In 2011 the Supreme Court suspended the ruling after Hindu and Muslim groups appealed against the 2010 verdict.
The case has already languished in India's famously sluggish legal system for so long that most of the original petitioners have died.
Who was awarded what?
The court ruled in an 8,500-page judgement that two-thirds of the disputed site should be allocated to Hindu groups, with the remainder to Muslims.
For the first time in a judicial ruling, it said that the disputed site was the birthplace of the Hindu god.
The court ordered that the current arrangement at Ayodhya - which is currently the site of a makeshift Hindu temple - should be "maintained as the status quo" for three months to allow time for any appeals against the judgement.
How did the judges rule on the conflicting claims?
The court ruled that the disputed site is the birth place of Lord Ram, who is "both a juristic person and a deity".
The two Hindu judges on the three-judge panel said that the building constructed by the founder of the Mughal dynasty in India, Babur, was not a mosque because it was built "against the tenets of Islam" on the site of a demolished Hindu temple.
However the Muslim judge in the case dissented from this view, arguing that no temple had been destroyed and that the mosque was built on ruins.
The two Hindu judges also agreed that the Ayodhya site was found by the Archaeological Survey of India originally to have been "a massive Hindu religious structure" and that Hindus had been worshipping there as a "sacred place of pilgrimage... since time immemorial".
It also ruled that Hindu idols were placed in the disputed structure in 1949 - a point which Muslims argue is important because that act, they say, triggered much of the tension over Ayodhya that remains today.
When did Hindu-Muslim tensions last escalate?
More than 50 people died in February 2002 when a train carrying Hindu activists returning to Gujarat from Ayodhya was set alight, allegedly by a Muslim mob.
At least 1,000 people - mainly Muslims - died in the violence in the state that erupted afterwards. Other estimates say the death toll was at least double that.
Have religious tensions eased in India in recent years?
Yes. It is now not as easy to mobilise young people under the banner of religion as it was in the early 1990s.
India's economic boom has changed priorities, and development is now the key issue. Correspondents say in recent years Hindu extremists have failed to win the supporters that many feared they would in 1992.


Two men were airlifted to hospital after falling from cliffs in Swansea early on Sunday.

Coastguards were alerted to the incident between Port Eynon Bay and Mewslade Bay at about 1:30 BST.
Horton and Port Eynon RNLI launched its lifeboat and two crew went ashore to help the rescue helicopter winch the men aboard.
One man was said to have suffered head injuries and the other leg injuries.
The RNLI said they had been camping with friends near the cliff point known locally as Boilers Slab.
Lifeboat operations manager Lawrie Grove said the rescue was an "excellent example of emergency and rescue services working closely and effectively together".


The Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (Cecafa) has announced Kenya has stepped in to host two regional tournaments.

In November Kenya will host east and central Africa's regional championship, the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup, instead of Sudan who withdrew due to financial issues.
A month later the region's Cecafa Kagame Club Championship will also be held in Kenya instead of Tanzania.
Tanzania were due to host the event in July and August but pulled out because of a congested league programme.
The Tanzanian side Young Africans also reached the group stage of the Confederation Cup and so would not have been able to take part in the regional tournament.
Azam of Tanzania will defend the title that they won on home soil last year, while Uganda are the defending Senior Challenge Cup champions after winning in Ethiopia in 2015.


Police are investigating a series of nuisance phone calls made to Susan Boyle in West Lothian.

The singer said she contacted officers after she was called at home in Blackburn, 10 times over the weekend.
The man allegedly swore at her and told the Britain's Got Talent star: "I know where you live."
Police have taken a statement from Boyle and said inquiries are ongoing. The 54-year-old has spoken of her concern about the calls.
She told the Scottish Sun: "I'm really worried about getting these threatening calls - I haven't slept much since they started. I have no idea who the person is or why they have chosen to call me."
She added: "The police were very reassuring and saying all the right things.
"But deep down, I am really worried."
A fantastic performance of I Dreamed A Dream on Britain's Got Talent in 2009 helped turned Boyle into an international star, with her first album selling millions of copies.
She has since sung for the Pope, the Queen and at the opening ceremony of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Last year she revealed she had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome which sometimes leaves her feeling "a sense of panic".
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We received a report of nuisance phone calls received at an address in Blackburn on Saturday, 20 June. Inquiries are ongoing."


Voting has begun in elections being held in Bristol.

Polling stations opened their doors at 07:00 BST and will close at 22:00.
Votes are being cast to elect the mayor of Bristol, Bristol City Council councillors, and the police and crime commissioner (PCC) is being elected for Avon and Somerset.
Elsewhere in England, elections are taking place for more than 120 councils, and to elect mayors in Liverpool, London and Salford.


India's top diplomat has arrived in Pakistan for the first meeting between the two neighbours since New Delhi cancelled talks last year.

Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar will discuss an upcoming regional summit with Pakistani counterpart AA Chaudhry.
Hostilities between the two neighbours have escalated over the past year, with both armies firing across the border in the disputed region of Kashmir.
A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but it is often violated.
Reports say Mr Jaishankar is officially scheduled to discuss issues relating to the South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (Saarc) with Mr Chaudhry.
Pakistani Foreign Office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said the two diplomats would also discuss bilateral ties.
"We hope that this process can lead to the resumption of the composite dialogue," Reuters quoted her as saying.
Formal peace talks known as a "composite dialogue" have been held for several years but made little headway, apart from a number of confidence-building measures.
India abruptly cancelled talks with Pakistan in August, accusing it of interfering in its internal affairs.
The move came after Pakistan's high commissioner in Delhi consulted Kashmiri separatist leaders ahead of talks between the two countries' foreign secretaries.
Kashmir, claimed by both countries in its entirety, has been a flashpoint for more than 60 years and the South Asian rivals have fought two wars over the region.


Burundian police say they have recovered a large number of weapons following an attack on the home of an adviser to President Pierre Nkurunziza.

Automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades were among arms found when they intercepted the attackers' truck, police in the capital Bujumbura told the BBC Great Lakes Service.
The police have made two arrests.
At least 240 people have died since April, after the president decided to run for a controversial third term.
Zenon Ndaruvukanye escaped unhurt from the attack in Kajaga, western Bujumbura, in which his police officer bodyguard was shot dead.
People from both sides of Burundi's political divide have been killed in attacks on an almost daily basis in recent months.
The US said this week it will place sanctions on four current and former officials in Burundi in connection with the continuing violence there.
Earlier this month, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution strongly condemning the escalating violence.
The French-drafted resolution also paves the way for a possible deployment of blue-helmeted UN peacekeepers.
Burundi's constitutional court backed Mr Nkurunziza's third-term bid, as his first term as president did not count towards the constitutional two-term limit because he was chosen by MPs, rather than in a popular election.
Mr Nkurunziza was duly re-elected with 70% of the vote in July.

West Indies captain Darren Sammy says it will be a "David versus Goliath" match when his side take on India in Thursday's World Twenty20 semi-final.

Sammy claims West Indies will be taking on a whole nation in Mumbai (14:30 BST), but the spotlight may fall on two men - Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli.
Kohli scored 82 off 51 balls in India's six-wicket win over Australia, while Sammy's side slipped up to Afghanistan.
"It is going to be a hell of a game," said the 32-year-old.
"It is going to be 15 West Indian players versus thousands and how many billion here in India. It is a challenge we are ready to face.
"The guys who predict the results, I think they say it's 80-20 to India, so it feels like a David and Goliath - but people tend to forget that David won the fight. It is something similar to that."
And Sammy does not fear Kohli, adding: "Have you ever heard of Chris Gayle?"
Gayle is 36 and part of an ageing West Indies squad who hope to reach what could be their last World Twenty20 final.
"The next T20 World Cup is in four years," explained Sammy. "The 'World Universe Boss' [Gayle] will be 40.
"I will be 36, so yes, we really put our all into this tournament and the guys in the dressing room are aware of what's at stake.
"It is six steps to the cup. We have taken four, we had a little pothole in the road [against Afghanistan]. I think this year could be the year for the West Indies."
India openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have managed just 88 runs between them in four matches, while Yuvraj Singh has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with an ankle injury.
Kohli has been key in guiding his country into the last four, following 55 against arch-rival Pakistan with that unbeaten knock in the must-win last group match against Australia.
Team director Ravi Shastri says India's top order has not performed well enough so far and maintains there can be no complacency, having opened the tournament with defeat against New Zealand.
"You need a performance in a big game. You have to get your 'A' game," said Shastri.
"West Indies are probably one of the most dangerous sides in this format - they have got explosive players and match winners.
"We know what we are up against, but we are up and ready as well."
Left-hander Yuvraj twisted his ankle during Sunday's win over Australia, and struggled to make 21 from 18 balls.
Manish Pandey, 26, has replaced him in the squad, while Ajinkya Rahane is also in contention for the semi-final XI.
India have fielded the same side in all four of their group matches, with right-handed batsman Rahane, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, left-arm spinner Pawan Negi and pace bowler Mohammad Shami the unused players in their 15-man squad.
"I still believe we have played to 70% of our ability in this tournament so there's 30% where we can improve," added Shastri.
"You can't depend on one or two players, you need six to seven players to step up. It has not happened really in this tournament, let's hope tomorrow it's a start."
New Zealand and West Indies meet in the Women's World Twenty20 semi-final on Thursday, with the winner set to face Australia in Sunday's final in Kolkata.
New Zealand topped their group with four wins from four, while West Indies finished second to an England side that were beaten in Wednesday's other last-four encounter.

Favourite The Gurkha narrowly beat Galileo Gold to win the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on Wednesday.

Jockey Ryan Moore was beaten by Frankie Dettori and Galileo Gold at Royal Ascot last month, with Dettori again taking his three-year-old into an early lead.
Dettori attempted to move clear over a furlong out, but the Aidan O'Brien-trained 11-8 favourite came alongside and eventually won by a neck.
"Ryan gave him a masterful ride but he has a lot of speed," said O'Brien.
Ribchester, ridden by James Doyle, was a close third, while Awtaad - second behind Galileo Gold at Ascot last month - fell out of contention towards the end of the race.
After creditable runs in defeat in the St James' Palace Stakes at Ascot and then again at Sandown, O'Brien was delighted to see The Gurkha home first in Goodwood's £1m race.
"I was worried about him as he has had such a big career crammed into a very short time," he added. "He has danced every dance all the way along and he has been turned out plenty."
BBC Sport horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght
"It's clear that there are some talented three-year-olds in flat racing's all-important Classic generation in 2016.
"The list is headed by The Gurkha, Galileo Gold and Hawkbill, and the fillies Minding and Alice Springs, which have all graduated from beating their own age group to being able to kick aside older opponents as happened here.
"Now the big question is: are they all brilliant, or is the fact that they have been beating each other by not very far of late indicative of the fact they are an only OK bunch? There are still three months of the season in which to find out, but nothing looks outstanding at this stage."
Earlier, Sir Michael Stoute's 9-2 second favourite Ulysses was a half-length victor in the Gordon Stakes.
The three-year-old, the son of 2001 Derby winner Galileo, bounced back from a disappointing 12th place at last month's Derby to give Stoute his 173rd winner at Goodwood.
"He is still learning how to race," said jockey Andrea Atzeni. "He was still keen today but he loves nice ground and he appreciated that. I'm just delighted to get the ride on him again."
Star Rider, ridden by Jimmy Fortune, ran out the decisive winner from Percy Veer in the Goodwood Stakes Handicap.
However, the British Horseracing Authority has confirmed Nicky Henderson's No Heretic, winner of the Chester Cup, has died after collapsing inside the final furlong.
James Doyle rode three winners, Yalta in the Molecomb Stakes, Sagaciously in the Breeders' Series Fillies' Handicap and Shady Mccoy in the NatWest Stakes.
David Probert won the Maiden Fillies' Stakes on Perfect Angel.

The disappearance of a man in Manchester is being treated as a murder investigation, police have said.

Michael Martin, 25, was last seen at his home in Sidmouth Drive, Blackley, in the early hours of 7 August.
Greater Manchester Police have searched four properties across the city and a room at the Premier Inn in Higher Blackley, while Mr Martin's car was discovered in Vermere Avenue.
The force said it was treating the investigation as a "non-body murder".
In an earlier appeal, officers said they believed Mr Martin may have been assaulted.
Det Insp Andrew Naismith said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who may have any information about what has happened to Michael Martin.
"We are investigating a number of possibilities, however a non-body murder investigation has now been launched.
"Our specialist support officers are supporting Michael's family through this incredibly difficult time and my thoughts are with them."


Olympic champion Justin Rose says he needs a strong start and a calm head to claim a second US Open title at Erin Hills.

Rose became the first English winner of the US Open for 43 years in 2013.
The 36-year-old could have doubled his major tally at the Masters in April but lost out in a play-off to Ryder Cup team-mate Sergio Garcia.
"I've played very well at weekends in majors since 2010 and maybe just need to position myself better," he said.
"Then see where we go from there. Hopefully we can get our head around the course.
"Attitude starts earlier on venues that some guys grumble about. Even at Merion in 2013, people weren't delighted with it.
"It's a different type of golf course and the USGA obviously aren't scared to go to different venues, so you've got to accept it and play.
"That's what pulled through for me in 2013; I remember being incredibly patient all week and also not buying into the score.
"I set my strategy up by how I saw the course but I never pressed because and ultimately that's what paid off for me, that patience."
Since his US Open victory, Rose has recorded five top-10 finishes in major championships, three of them coming in a remarkable season in 2015.
The Englishman shot 14 under par in both the Masters and the US PGA, but won neither.
And in this year's Masters, Rose was two shots clear with five to play at Augusta before Spain's Garcia triumphed in the play-off to take his first major title.
"I can only say from the Olympics and the Masters, that was the calmest I've felt on a golf course in recent times," Rose added.
"When I need it the most I can get into that mindset - it's almost a survival mechanism for me. I know I can't afford to get frustrated and lose my head.
"The big situation forces me to stay a little bit more patient because I know how important it is. I have more incentive to be my best in those big events."


A Labour MP is to challenge the Church of England to say whether it would defrock a priest for marrying a same-sex partner.

Ben Bradshaw has accused the Church of "trying to have its cake and eat it" by accepting same-sex marriage for its members, but not for its clergy.
The ex-cabinet minister said priests needed to know where they stood.
He will raise the question in the Commons, asking how the Church would discipline any who disobey its ruling.
With the first same-sex marriage ceremonies in England and Wales due to take place on Saturday, Mr Bradshaw said the Church was in a "muddle" over where its own clergy stood.
The Church has urged priests to support members of the congregation who are in same-sex marriages, but it has ruled that priests themselves must not enter into one.
Mr Bradshaw, who entered into a civil partnership with his long-term partner in 2006, said it would be "pretty extreme" for a priest to be defrocked for flouting the ruling.
"It's a bit of a muddle and I think what we would need - what people want - is some clarity," Mr Bradshaw said.
"What's difficult, particularly for those priests who have said already, publicly, that they would like to marry - or they intend to marry - their long-term partner, I think they need to know where they're going to stand.
"Are they going to be disciplined? Are they going to be sacked?"
The MP, who is a member of Parliament's Ecclesiastical Committee, will raise the question in the Commons on Thursday.
He said he accepted and understood the Church's "desire to move slowly and to make its own rules". But he said clarity was needed.
The Church of England's House of Bishops issued guidelines on same-sex marriage last month.
In them, it said the Church was committed "unreservedly" to the pastoral support of homosexual people.
But for priests, "getting married to someone of the same sex would, however, clearly be at variance with the teaching of the Church of England".
It added: "The Church of England has a long tradition of tolerating conscientious dissent and of seeking to avoid drawing lines too firmly, not least when an issue is one where the people of God are seeking to discern the mind of Christ in a fast-changing context.
"Nevertheless, at ordination clergy undertake to 'accept and minister the discipline of this Church, and respect authority duly exercised within it'. We urge all clergy to act consistently with that undertaking."


A new weather satellite that could help pilots avoid turbulence has launched into space.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said it would beam clearer images of cloud "waves", which contribute to turbulence, back to earth more quickly.
It is also set to give better estimates of wind speed, fog, ice and lightning.
Pilots have welcomed the advances, which are expected to be available from the second half of 2017.
GOES-R (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) is billed as the world's most advanced weather satellite.
It also claims to pick up on hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, volcanic ash clouds, wildfires, lightning storms and solar flares more quickly.
The $1bn (Â£800m) satellite will scan the skies five times faster than previous versions and with four times greater image resolution, according to Noaa.
For airlines, the improved data and imaging will help pilots plan their routes to avoid hazardous conditions.
Steven Goodman, a senior programme scientist for GOES-R, said satellites had previously struggled to capture clouds in enough detail to show the "waves" that contribute to turbulence.
But the new satellite would deliver clearer views and send images back within minutes, he told the BBC.
"It will give the weather as it's looking now rather than the weather that happened 15 to 30 minutes ago," he said.
It was designed to also measure in-cloud lightning, wind speeds and fog patterns more accurately, he said.
Pilots will appreciate the promised advances in weather forecasting, according to Steve Landells, a flight safety specialist at the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa).
Mr Landells, a pilot of 27 years, said turbulence caused by lightning storms was more predictable, but that other types were more difficult.
"If they can start predicting that to a great degree, and more timely, then that would be a significant help," he said.
Noaa teamed up with Nasa for the mission, which saw about 8,000 space programme workers gather at the launch site in Florida on Saturday.
The satellite is scheduled to reach an orbit of 22,300 miles (35,900km) in about two weeks and become operational within a year.
Once running, it aims to produce full images of the Western Hemisphere every 15 minutes and the continental US every five minutes. Specific storm regions will be updated every 30 seconds.


JJ Abrams' sci fi drama Westworld has been officially commissioned for a whole series by HBO.

The Star Wars director is executive producer whilst Interstellar co-writer Jonathan Nolan will pen the scripts
Sir Anthony Hopkins, Thandie Newton, Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Harris and James Marsden will all star.
The show is a remake of a 1973 sci-fi western about a futuristic themed amusement park that has a robot malfunction.
HBO teased fans with a six second Vine clip and a cryptic, mathematical Tweet but there's no word on how many episodes will be made.
The studio is calling the series, which will debut in 2015, "a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin".
Author Michael Crichton directed the original film which saw the human owners of the park losing control of the androids as they began to attack guests.
Hopkins will play Dr Robert Ford, the theme park's owner, while Wood, Marsden and Newton are to star as androids.
Ed Harris is credited only as a character called 'The Man In Black'.
Other cast members include Hunger Games: Catching Fire's Jeffrey Wright, Lord Of The Rings' Miranda Otto and 300's Rodrigo Santaro.

A surfer from America has had his claim for a new world record confirmed - for surfing the biggest wave ever.

Media playback is unsupported on your device
14 May 2012 Last updated at 13:46 BST
Garrett McNamara, who started surfing age 11, was in a competition on the coast of Portugal, when a massive wave built up behind him.
He managed to stay on his surfboard despite the wave crashing into him.
At the time estimates were that Garrett's wave was about 30m high - that's the same as five houses or 15 tall men.
