Leaving the EU would mean "difficult and lengthy negotiations" that could take years to complete, peers say.

The Lords EU Committee said determining the rights of two million UK nationals living in the EU would be a "complex and daunting" part of exit talks.
While they do not recommend a vote either way, peers say trade deals between the EU and non-EU states take between four and nine years on average.
Leave campaigners argue a UK-EU Treaty should be wrapped up in two years.
A separate report from Oxford University's Migration Observatory, also published on Wednesday, suggests curbs on in-work benefits for EU citizens negotiated by David Cameron are unlikely to result in a large reduction in migration to the UK.
It said a "large majority" of recent EU migrants were not claiming benefits of any kind.
If the UK voted to leave in the referendum on 23 June, it would not mean an immediate exit from the EU.
This issue covers travel for leisure or work, and living in other EU countries.
The prime minister could trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which provides for a two-year process for negotiating the terms of withdrawal and a departing state's future relations with the EU.
But there is some debate as to whether this is the best method for leaving the EU and whether it should happen immediately after the vote.
The cross-party committee warned that negotiations for withdrawal and to establish a new relationship with the EU would take longer than the two years allowed under Article 50.
The committee, which took evidence from two EU law experts, said one of the most complex parts of the talks would be establishing the rights of UK citizens resident in other member states to access health care, schooling and employment.
The negotiations, it added, would also have to deal with the reciprocal rights of EU nationals living in the UK.
"We don't take a view on whether the UK should leave the EU or not," said Lord Boswell, the former Conservative minister who chairs the committee.
"But it is clear that if that's what people decide, withdrawal would mean difficult and lengthy negotiations."
"It's not possible to predict exactly how long it would take, but comparable international trade deals have taken on average between four and nine years."
Peers also say the process of reviewing and disentangling the UK from EU law would take years to complete - with the government having to assess which laws it wished to keep.
Vote Leave, the official group campaigning for an EU exit, said the UK faced a choice between "handing more money and power to Brussels or to take back control".
"It [the report] also torpedoes the claims that the EU wouldn't do a trade deal with us after we vote leave - it's in everyone's interest on all sides to strike a deal after the UK takes back the power over trade."
UKIP said the committee was made up of Europhiles and its findings were "partial nonsense".
Remain campaigners argue there is no guarantee that expats living in the EU would be able to stay in the event of Brexit.


Iraqi security forces are detaining thousands of women illegally and subjecting them to torture and abuse, a new report by Human Rights Watch says.

Many were held for months or even years without charge, the report found.
Interrogators often questioned them about their male relatives' activities rather than the crimes in which they themselves were implicated, it said.
The government called the claims "over-exaggerated", but admitted a number of female detainees had been mistreated.
"We have some limited illegal behaviours which were practised by security forces against women prisoners," a spokesman for the human rights ministry said. "Iraq is still working to put an end to prison abuse."
He added that those responsible would be held accountable.
More than 4,500 women are currently being held in prisons across Iraq, according to the 105-page report, titled "No One is Safe" - The Abuse of Women in Iraq's Criminal Justice System.
A vast majority of them are Sunni Muslims, but the abuses documented by HRW showed "women of all sects and classes" were affected.
Many of those interviewed described being "beaten, kicked, slapped, hung upside-down and beaten on their feet, given electric shocks, and raped or threatened with sexual assault by security forces during their interrogation".
Sexual violence was so commonplace that one employee at a women's prison facility was quoted as saying: "We expect that they've been raped by police on the way to the prison."
Contrary to Iraqi law, most of the female detainees had no access to a lawyer before or during their interrogations, the study found.
"Iraqi security forces and officials act as if brutally abusing women will make the country safer," said Joe Stork, HRW's deputy Middle East and North Africa director.
"Both men and women suffer from the severe flaws of the criminal justice system. But women suffer a double burden due to their second-class status in Iraqi society."
In late 2012, Sunnis took to the streets demanding that the Shia-led government release women who were being held without charge or because of acts of terrorism allegedly committed by their relatives.
But HRW said Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had failed to carry out his promised reforms of the criminal justice system.
Several judges who tried terrorism cases alleged that some investigative judges were still committing serious violations of suspects' due process rights because of their "collusion with security officers and because of the considerable influence Maliki exerts over the judiciary", the report said.
Iraq has seen a surge in violence over the past year. Government data says more than 1,000 people died in January, which would be the highest monthly toll for almost six years.
HRW warned that the security forces' heavy-handed tactics and alleged abuses in Sunni-dominated areas were "undermining the government's military efforts" to combat insurgents linked to al-Qaeda who have attempted to take control of the cities of Falluja and Ramadi.


Wales would be keen to stage matches at Euro 2020 if one of the host cities pulls out, Football Association of Wales chief Jonathan Ford has said.

The tournament is being spread among 13 host cities across the continent.
Wales successfully staged the Champions League final and want to build on that.
"We've just staged the biggest single sporting event of 2017 - that's got to go some way to showing people we can absolutely come to the table and host major finals in the future," said Ford.
The FAW failed in a bid to be named as one of the host countries for the 60th anniversary of the European Championships.
Wembley, Hampden Park in Glasgow and the Aviva Stadium in Dublin were chosen.
The other cities chosen were Munich, Rome, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Budapest, St Petersburg, Brussels, Bilbao, Bucharest and the Azerbaijan capital of Baku.
However, doubts have emerged over whether Brussels will be able to host games. The proposed new Eurostadium in Grimbergen, just north of the Belgian capital, has yet to be built.
Plans for the new 60,000-capacity national stadium have been hit by a number of disagreements over the cost and scale of the project with proposed tenants Anderlecht pulling out.
It's understood the 50,000 King Baudouin stadium in Brussels, where Belgium currently play their home matches, lacks the facilities to meet UEFA criteria to stage tournament matches.
"We don't know about Belgium yet - there is some talk that the (new) stadium might not be built in time," Ford told BBC Wales Sport.
"If that's the case, UEFA would need to make some decisions. Do they use some of the existing stadiums? Do they need another venue?
"If they need another venue they will go through an open bidding procedure - we may just be interested."

Ford said Uefa would have to make a decision soon on whether Brussels was still in a position to host Euro 2020 games.
"I would've thought over the summer period there would have to be some significant demonstration that Belgium (the new stadium) was going to be built or not.
"(If not) there would then be a relatively swift procedure - an open and transparent procedure for bidding.
"We've got a long way to go before we can even consider whether we'd put our names in the hat."
But he added, "The government, the county council…there are a lot of stakeholders who'd have to be consulted.
"Ultimately I think it demonstrated over this last weekend that we can work extremely well together."

An estimated 170,000 fans were in Cardiff on Saturday as more than 6,000 police officers from forces throughout the UK were on duty across the weekend.
Google Trends reported that five minutes before kick-off on Saturday, more people were searching online for Cardiff than New York City - three times the usual level of traffic. The most popular country searching Cardiff was Italy, home of Juventus.
Twitter said there were more than 420,000 tweets searching for Cardiff over the weekend among the nine million tweets on Saturday night as Real Madrid beat Juventus.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said: "The Uefa Champions League finals were an enormous success, with Cardiff and Wales once again cementing themselves as one of the finest hosts on the world stage.
"There will be millions of people across the globe who will have sat up and took notice of Wales as a place to visit, work and do business and the next challenge is for us to ensure we capitalise on this."
Over 66,000 people were in attendance the final, won 4-1 by Real Madrid.
"First we need to reflect and savour what a fantastic moment the Champions League final was for us - the biggest football event we've ever staged in this country," said Ford.
"There was understandably a bit of scepticism that we could pull it off - we were the smallest association, the smallest country ever to stage a Champions League final.
"We always said judge us after the event not before it. All of the key stakeholders have been incredibly positive. It was a fantastic final.
"I'm delighted it all went off safely and securely. We should be very proud of our achievements."


Former Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama is one of 11 players who has been told they are no longer required by new Lille coach Marcelo Bielsa.

The French club's new Argentine boss has also sent messages to Zambia's Stoppila Sunzu, Tunisia's Naim Sliti and Ivory Coast's Junior Tallo saying they are not part of his plans.
Enyeama, who played 101 times for the Super Eagles, only signed a new deal last season and could choose to follow the lead of Tallo.
"As for me, I'm under contract. I will respect the two years I have left. I'm in no hurry," the Ivorian told French Newspaper L'Equipe.
"I want to establish myself at Lille.
"It's the club that wants me to leave. We'll see if they find a solution between now and the end of the transfer window. I'm calm. It's a bit bizarre, but I'm handling it OK.
"I was informed like the others, by text. We're under contract, the club does what it wants.
"We would have liked to have had a discussion. But it's a business choice made by the bosses.
The club has already made some summer signings including Burkina Faso international goalkeeper Herve Koffi following Lille's disappointing 11th place finish in Ligue 1 last season.
But the African quartet, former captain Rio Mavuba, Eder, Julian Palmieri, Marko Basa, Éric Bauthéac, Lenny Nangis and Marvin Martin have been ordered to stay away from the rest of the squad as pre-season started on 3 July.
Enyeama, who joined Lille in June 2011 and has made 164 appearances, welcomed the signing of Koffi last month.
On Monday, Enyeama tweeted a photo with some of his fellow outcasts, who also include Montenegro international Marko Basa, France international Marvin Martin and , stating: "Always a pleasure to be back with the team."


Bernardo Bertolucci has attributed a row over how an actress was treated while filming Last Tango in Paris to "a ridiculous misunderstanding".

Outrage has flared after a video of the director speaking in 2013 re-emerged.
In it, he admitted he did not fully prepare Maria Schneider before shooting the infamous "butter scene" because he wanted her to feel real "humiliation".
He has now insisted she knew about the scene in advance and that her "rape" by Marlon Brando's Paul was simulated.
The scene from Bertolucci's 1972 film sees Brando's character use butter as a lubricant while forcing himself upon Schneider's Jeanne.
In a 2007 interview, Schneider said she had felt "humiliated" and "a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci".
The actress, who died in 2011, blamed the film, the reaction and her instant fame for her subsequent drug abuse and suicide attempts.
In the 2013 video that reignited the controversy, Bertolucci said he and Brando came up with the idea of using butter on the morning the scene was shot.
He said he had been "in a way horrible to Maria because I didn't tell her what was going on, because I wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress".
The video shows him admitting he felt "guilty" but that he did "not regret" how he went about filming the scene.
Schneider "hated me for her whole life" as a result, he continued.
Evan Rachel Wood was among those to express outrage at his comments, calling the situation "heartbreaking and outrageous".
"The 2 of them are very sick individuals to think that was ok," the Westworld actress wrote.
"To all the people that love this film - you're watching a 19yr old get raped by a 48yr old man," actress Jessica Chastain tweeted. "The director planned her attack. I feel sick."
"I will never look at this film, Bertolucci or Brando the same way again," wrote Captain America star Chris Evans. "This is beyond disgusting. I feel rage."
In a statement on Monday, the 76-year-old director said he wanted "for the very last time to clear up a ridiculous misunderstanding".
"We wanted her spontaneous reaction to this improper use [of the butter]," he said. "The misunderstanding arises from this.
"People thought, and think, that Maria was not informed of the violence she was to suffer. False!
"Maria knew everything because she had read the script, in which it was all described. The only new thing was the idea of the butter.
"It was this, I learned many years later, that upset Maria, and not the violence that was in the scene and was envisaged in the script of the film."
In her 2007 interview, Schneider said the scene in question "wasn't in the original script".
"The truth is it was Marlon who came up with the idea," she told the Daily Mail. "They only told me about it before we had to film the scene and I was so angry.
"I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can't force someone to do something that isn't in the script, but at the time, I didn't know that.
"Marlon said to me: 'Maria, don't worry, it's just a movie,' but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn't real, I was crying real tears."
Last Tango in Paris was banned in Italy and court cases sought its censorship in several other countries, including the UK and US.

Great Britain's Davis Cup team, including Andy Murray, have arrived in Belgium amid heightened security for this weekend's final against the Belgian side in Ghent.

The capital Brussels, 35 miles away, is in its third day of a security lockdown and on the highest level of alert over fears of a Paris-style attack.
Extra security measures have been put in place for the three-day final.
The GB team delayed travelling to Belgium because of the security alert.
Britain's squad of Andy Murray, Jamie Murray, Kyle Edmund, Dominic Inglot and James Ward arrived on Monday after postponing their Sunday flight, and were due to practise for the first time on Monday afternoon. They will have very tight security as they travel between the court and their hotel.
Belgian police arrested 16 people in anti-terror raids during Sunday's lockdown and a further five subsequently, but a suspected gunman from the Paris attacks, Salah Abdeslam, remains at large.
The sport's governing body, the International Tennis Federation, said it was "greatly concerned" by the terror threats affecting Brussels and was "closely monitoring the situation".
Soldiers were patrolling Brussels' streets on Monday and many businesses and public services remained closed.
Latest updates from BBC News
Gijs Kooken, chief executive of the Flemish Tennis Federation (FTF), which is staging the event, told BBC Sport he was in regular contact with the Belgian government and had "not yet had a signal that it's not safe to organise the event".
The final, which runs from Friday, 27 November to Sunday, 29 November, will be played on clay courts at the 13,000-seat Flanders Expo, with more than 1,000 British fans due to attend.
Fans have been warned that entry into the arena will take longer than usual and they will not be allowed to take in food or drink.
Sniffer dogs and explosive experts will be patrolling the venue, and spectators - who can expect to be body searched - will have to leave all bags in lockers outside the entrance.
Great Britain, who last won the event in 1936, reached the final for the first time since 1978 with victory over Australia, while Belgium are competing in their first final in 111 years after beating Argentina.


Midnight feeds, training sessions, netting goals and nappy changes are all things athletes Sarah Wiltshire and Asha Francis are juggling with their newborn babies.

Less than seven weeks after giving birth to daughter Alexa-Rose, 25-year-old striker Wiltshire will spend her first Mother's Day on the football pitch playing for Cambridge United Women.
"She will be there with my mum and that will mean a lot to me because they are my two favourite ladies," Wiltshire told BBC Sport.
"She seems to be sleeping every time that I play or train, but at some point she will have to watch."
Meanwhile, versatile Team Bath attacker Francis, 31, will spend part of Mothering Sunday coaching the netball Superleague club's feeder side before returning home to her five-month-old daughter Paige and three-year-old Elise.
Francis, a former England and Singapore international, returned to action in Britain's top-flight competition less than five months after giving birth to her second daughter.
"I want the best of both worlds. I've given it a go and it seems to be going alright so far," Francis told BBC Radio Bristol.
"It is nice to have something for myself because I do spend a lot of the day looking after the girls.
"It is nice to have those few hours to yourself when you are not responsible for anyone and you can just be the person you were before the children."
For Wiltshire, turning out for Cambridge on loan in the Women's Premier Division One South East - the fourth tier of women's football in England - is a tentative return to the sport as she aims to play a part in Yeovil Town's upcoming Women's Super League One campaign.
For husband Steven Edwards, who also manages Cambridge, Alexa-Rose's birth has turned into an amazing bit of transfer business for the lower-league club.
Wiltshire was WSL 2's top scorer when she stopped playing 13 weeks into her pregnancy, with her goals helping the Glovers win promotion to the top flight as champions.
"It has panned out well for all parties," said Edwards after his wife scored twice in her first start for Cambridge, which came just six weeks after giving birth.
"She hasn't had to return to the highest level straight away, instead she has had an opportunity to play at a good level and one where she can find her feet and fitness.
"It has helped me and the club having her around and what Yeovil end up getting will be a more confident and fitter individual."
Throughout the latter stages of her pregnancy Wiltshire was a constant presence at her husband's training sessions, as she wanted to keep her skills sharp - even though the diminutive forward had slowed down considerably by that stage.
"I did a little bit of training," she said. "I just wanted to keep my technical skills up and only lose fitness really.
"I tried to stay on the ball for as long as possible. At 35 weeks I was really big and wouldn't really be able to do anything."
From the early surprise of pregnancy to playing on through the first trimester, staying active in the third and plotting her return to action, Wiltshire has been able to seek guidance from health professionals and fellow footballers.
Helen Ward, a Wales and Yeovil team-mate, helped fire Reading to the top tier in 2015 having begun the season on maternity leave before returning for the end of the season. On Saturday she announced she is pregnant again and will miss the club's first top-flight campaign.
Yeovil manager Jamie Sherwood is also well versed in having expectant mothers on the books, with his own wife and former player Katie twice returning to the sport to play internationally after the birth of their children.
"As a coach, manager and even more as a friend I made sure Sarah was correct on and off the pitch - we made a medical team and sports psychologist work with her to make sure she was okay," said Sherwood.
"Now she is coming back, I know exactly what the player needs. It is exciting she is playing again and she is ahead of schedule.
"She wants to be playing, she lives and breaths football. It is her first love, which I'm sure will be overtaken by daughter - but she is a footballer at heart."
Wiltshire admires those footballers who have returned to the pitch as mothers before her, and now she is determined to set a lasting example for her daughter.
"That little baby motivates me in a way," said Wiltshire. "I want her to grow up knowing she can chase her dreams.
"Having a baby does make you feel like you can do anything. Since I started playing football it was always my dream to play at the highest level and to get to do that with Yeovil, a club the means a lot to me, is my goal.
"I have a little one that is my whole world now, she makes me happy and when I'm happy and playing football, that makes me play better."
Francis' return to elite-level sport so soon after childbirth was a little more unexpected, as she was recalled to Team Bath as an injury replacement earlier in March, having initially opted just to train with the West Country side after squad sizes were trimmed from 15 players to 12.
The three-time Superleague champion admits the conversation with coaches about her playing future was a hard one, with the season coming so soon after Paige's arrival.
"It was a difficult decision for me," she admitted. "I didn't want to commit to being in the 12 then find out that I really couldn't cope with it.
"We don't have family nearby, I didn't know if I was going to be fit or what I would have been like, so I was lucky enough that I could be a training partner.
"I wasn't personally expecting anything this season. I was just looking forward to training, getting some fitness back and doing what I love doing."
She has gone on to feature in three of Team Bath's six matches so far this season, admitting it takes a lot of teamwork to coordinate life with husband Rob - something they worked hard at when she first returned after Elise's birth in 2014.
"During the season you do almost sacrifice seeing each other because he works evenings," said Francis.
"It's a lot to juggle and you have to have a lot of people around you who are willing to help out.
"With Elise, she breastfed for 11 months so when I did start that season she was still feeding, so my husband and Elise had to travel with me to play.
"Paige is bottle-fed, which is a little more freedom. If she was feeding from me, that potentially would have been a game changer because of the amount of time I would have had to spend away from her, or asking Rob and Elise to travel to away games with me, which would have been a bit more difficult."
And some things about being an elite athlete and parent of a toddler and newborn just do not tally - namely peace and quiet.
"The big difference is the amount of recovery time I have," said Francis. "During the week, if sessions are changed to afford us more rest or a lie-in, that is not the reality of my situation.
"If I'm lucky, Paige has a nap and I might get an hour's kip. If I'm up in the night then Elise is awake in the day wanting to play, then we have got to play."
Afternoon swimming lessons with Paige, followed by evening training sessions, mixed in with those all-important play dates with toddler Elise is a snapshot of a hectic day in the life of Francis.
Every moment of which she relishes.
"If you want it bad enough, you definitely can have children and make the most of what you really enjoy doing," she said. "It is tough and tiring, but it definitely worth it."


US politicians have played a charity baseball game a day after a shooting - as they practised in Virginia - wounded a top Republican and three others.

The annual congressional baseball game in Washington was hailed as a rare and welcome moment of unity among lawmakers of both major parties.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise remains in a critical condition, but improving, after the shooting.
There were huge cheers when his name was heard around the stadium.
"Not here, but in our thoughts and prayers, Steve Scalise," said the announcer before the game, which was won by the Democrats by 11 runs to 2, moving them ahead with 40 wins to 39 in the historic series.
However, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said that his team gave the trophy to the Republicans to put in Mr Scalise's office.
One of the Capitol Police officers, David Bailey, who was hailed as a hero for the way he helped to subdue the gunman, appeared on crutches.
To loud applause he threw the first pitch, which is a longstanding baseball ritual that usually falls to a dignitary or celebrity.
President Donald Trump did not attend but sent a video message of support.
The game, held at Nationals Park, has been a congressional tradition for more than a century.
Both Republicans and Democrats have pointed to the attack as a reason to ease heated political rhetoric.
This isn't just a baseball game. It is a rare and genuine opportunity for Democrats and Republicans to put their divisions aside and show those gathered in the stadium and watching across the US, that they are not just politicians - they are people and players.
One woman who bought her ticket after yesterday's shooting told me she wanted just one feel-good moment after everything that has happened. Another group of Republican interns described the game as the only thing in Washington that really works.
The crowds are holding banners and team colours. Many are tributes and prayers for Congressman Steve Scalise.
There may be fierce rivalry out on the pitch, but there are also a number of players who have become fierce friends.
The suspected gunman, James T Hodgkinson, died from his injuries hours after Wednesday's shooting.
The 66-year-old suspect from Belleville, Illinois, was a volunteer for Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign but whether he was politically motivated is still unclear, investigators said.


A nine-year-old boy is being treated in hospital after being hit by a vehicle in North Lanarkshire on Saturday.

Police said the boy was badly injured in the incident, after being struck in Coatbridge.
Emergency crews were called the scene on the town's Bank Street near Langloan Primary School at about 16:40.
The boy was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, in Glasgow, where his condition is believed to be serious.


Uber has been told its self-driving cars are illegal - but it is refusing to take them off San Francisco's roads.

The company started testing the vehicles this week, but the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has said the firm must have a test permit.
Uber said it did not need one as they have a safety driver at the wheel, and is going to ignore the demand.
California's attorney general - the state's most senior government lawyer - said Uber must cease the driving immediately or face further action.
A spokeswoman for the attorney general's office would not be drawn on what the specific action could be, but the next step would likely be a court order compelling Uber to carry out the demand.
Other companies testing autonomous technology in California, such as Google, have applied for and obtained the permit which costs $150 (Â£120) for 10 vehicles.
Additional vehicles can be added at a rate of $50 for each additional 10 vehicles.
"It is illegal for the company to operate its self-driving vehicles on public roads until it receives an autonomous vehicle testing permit," said Brian Soublet from the California DMV in a letter to Uber this week.
In a conference call with media on Friday, Uber's vice-president of Advanced Technologies Anthony Levandowski said Uber had "respect" for officials, but that the regulations were irrelevant to its cars.
"You don't need a belt and suspenders if you're wearing a dress," he told reporters.
In his view the permit only applies to cars that could operate "without the active physical control or monitoring of a human operator".
Uber's cars need a human, he said - although the company still intends to refer to the vehicles as "self-driving cars".
He went on to make a comparison with electric car company Tesla. Its cars come with a feature known as Autopilot which takes control of the vehicle and automatically keeps up with traffic and changes lanes.
Autopilot does not require a permit, and so Uber argued its cars should be treated the same way. It requested clarification from the DMV on that issue specifically.
Google cars have a human driver behind the wheel at all times.
The permit requires companies to cover insurance costs as well as provide public reports on any collisions or instances when the human driver must take control.
Uber said it planned to make disclosures about the performance of its cars, but did not specify how.
On Friday afternoon, a number of the cars were seen travelling around the city.
Earlier in the week one of the cars was filmed jumping a red light, an incident Uber blamed on human error.

Russia's G8 partners have condemned Moscow's military build-up in Ukraine amid fresh diplomatic efforts to avert a dangerous escalation of the crisis.

The world's seven major industrialised powers also suspended preparations for the G8 summit in Sochi in June.
Meanwhile, European Union foreign ministers are due to meet in emergency session in Brussels.
The moves come as Russian military forces continue to strengthen their grip on the Crimean peninsula.
By Mark LowenBBC News, Sevastopol
No shots have been fired and no treaties signed but Crimea is now de facto under Russian armed control.
Two large Ukrainian military bases are surrounded, with Russian troops standing alongside local self-defence groups, who demand that the Ukrainian soldiers inside defect from Kiev to Crimea's new pro-Russia government.
The naval headquarters remains blockaded and key installations like airports are still occupied. Thousands of newly-arrived Russian elite troops far outnumber Ukraine's military presence here. Crimea has in effect been cut off by roadblocks, where vehicles are being denied access to the peninsula.
At countless pro-Russia demonstrations, Moscow's intervention is warmly welcomed. But away from the nationalist fervour, Crimeans from all sides are profoundly fearful of what comes next.
Ukraine's interim government has accused Russia of having declared war, and has ordered the mobilisation of its armed forces.
But Russian President Vladimir Putin has so far defied calls from the West to pull back his troops.
He insists Russia has a right to protect its interests and those of Russian-speakers in Crimea and elsewhere in Ukraine.
The UN said on Sunday that Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson was travelling to Ukraine to be "personally apprised of the facts on the ground".
A statement said he would brief UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon "on the next steps the United Nations could take to support the de-escalation of the situation".
On Monday morning, the MICEX index of stocks in Moscow suffered an initial fall of about 5% and the rouble fell 2.5% to an all-time low against the US dollar.
Russia's central bank also raised its main interest rate to 7% from 5.5%.
The G7 of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US urged Russia to hold talks with Ukraine to address any human rights or security concerns it had.
By Mark MardellNorth America editor
In a statement released from the White House, the grouping said it condemned "the Russian Federation's clear violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine".
It added: "We have decided for the time being to suspend our participation in activities associated with the preparation of the scheduled G8 Summit in Sochi in June."
G7 finance ministers said they were ready "to provide strong financial backing to Ukraine".
"The International Monetary Fund (IMF) remains the institution best prepared to help Ukraine address its immediate economic challenges through policy advice and financing," a statement said.
Ukraine needs $35bn over the next two years, according to the finance ministry,
World leaders have been scrambling to find a diplomatic solution to the growing crisis.
On Sunday, Nato held an emergency meeting in Brussels.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has arrived in Kiev for talks with the new government and US Secretary of State John Kerry is to travel to Ukraine on Tuesday.
US President Barack Obama has called Russia's actions a breach of international law and a threat to peace and security.
Nato issued a statement saying it "condemns Russia's military escalation in Crimea". However, Ukraine is not a Nato member and the bloc is not obliged to come to its defence.

The US believes Russia has complete operational control of Crimea with more than 6,000 troops in the region.
Several Ukrainian army bases were surrounded by Russian troops earlier on Sunday.
In response, Ukraine has ordered a full military mobilisation.
The BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Kiev says men across Ukraine have been receiving call-up papers and will start reporting for 10 days training from Monday.
Interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk warned that the country was "on the brink of disaster".
On Sunday, the head of the Ukrainian navy, Denis Berezovsky, was removed from his post after he pledged allegiance to the new pro-Russian authorities in Crimea.
Ukraine's interim leaders have put him under investigation for treason.
Moscow has not recognised the government that took power in Kiev last month after ousting the elected pro-Russian President, Viktor Yanukovych.
Mr Yanukovych's decision in November to abandon closer ties with the EU in favour of Russia sparked massive protests in Kiev, which ended in a bloodbath, as dozens of protesters were shot dead in clashes with police.


The subject of young English spinners and their apparent dearth has filled numerous column inches and website pages in recent years.

But Hampshire possess two bowlers who could present themselves as the next generation of England's spin options.
Teenage leg-spinner Mason Crane and all-rounder Liam Dawson both experienced winters where their respective stocks continued to rise.
Now the pair hope to build a partnership in both white and red-ball cricket, potentially furthering their international futures, and hope county cricket will provide the platform.

"When you look around, there aren't many spinners on the county circuit," slow left-armer Dawson told BBC Sport.
"Obviously, conditions dictate that in England. Seamers bowl the majority of overs.
"The only way spin bowling is going to improve in county cricket is by playing on wickets that do spin and offer spin.
"Hopefully that plays a part not only for Mason and I, but for English cricket going forward with spinners at the other 17 counties."
Right-hand top-order batsman Dawson, 26, completed a remarkable turnaround in the space of seven months - from being loaned out to Essex to getting a call-up to England's World Twenty20 squad.
Although he failed to feature in England's run to the final in India, Dawson said the experience was "unbelievable".
"I would have loved to have played," he said. "That's obviously the decision of the coaches and captain, but I did all I could.
"I trained well and if I was called upon, I would have liked to think I would have done a good job.
"I'm hungry to play more, but the only way I can do that is by performing here for Hampshire in white-ball cricket."
Any suggestion of being a potential back-up Test option to Moeen Ali was met with a desire to improve his current first-class statistics.
"If I start the season well in red-ball cricket, there are opportunities to play," Dawson replied. "That all starts here for Hampshire and you have to do well here first to get international recognition."
Academy graduate Crane only made his senior Hampshire debut in July.
A T20 Blast bow saw him take the Surrey wickets of Kumar Sangakkara and Vikram Solanki before he become the youngest Hampshire bowler to claim a County Championship five-wicket haul with 5-35 against Warwickshire.
Talk of a surprise inclusion on England's Test tour to the UAE against Pakistan was already rolling in by late August.
"It was really nice people said those things," Crane said. "But, at the time, I probably thought it was too early.
"I've a lot to learn yet and obviously a lot more games to play before an England call-up."
Crane's winter did include visits to the sub-continent, though, with England under-19s.
Tours to both Sri Lanka and the World Cup in Bangladesh exposed him to new conditions, while his flight and control were displayed to a global television audience.
"We got there (Bangladesh) and it was a huge event to be part of," Crane added. "You pick up all sorts of things in a tournament like that, such as having to bowl different lines, lengths and paces.
"But that also depends on what team you're playing and you almost had to change approach game-by-game."
On a damp April afternoon at the county's pre-season press day, thoughts of raging turning wickets at the Ageas Bowl were probably far from the minds of many.
But both Crane and Dawson already have belief they can play an integral part in all formats for their county.
"In the last few years, we probably haven't played on too many wickets that have spun," Dawson said. "The way Mason bowled last year, being a wrist spinner, he's got a massive future ahead of him.
"The amount of control he has for someone who is 19 years old is unbelievable.
"I'll be looking forward to bowling with him and hopefully winning a few games for Hampshire throughout the season."
For Crane, who was guided by former Hampshire spin pair Darren Flint and Raj Maru through the county's academy, turn has already featured in pre-season.
"We played a friendly at Hove against Sussex where the wicket was quite tacky and you get some early season squares that can be quite dry," he said.
"But I guess as a spinner in England, you've just got to embrace whatever surface you play on.
"I'm just looking forward to trying to forge a partnership with Liam and see how it goes. I also have to understand I might not play every game, as I'm still only 19.
"I'm just focusing on my own bowling and playing all the games I'm selected."


Singer and judge on The Voice, Tom Jones, is to perform at this summer's Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival.

The organisers of the event, near Beauly, said it was believed that it would be the first time the Welsh star had performed in the Highlands.
Jones, who has sold more than 100 million records since the 1960s, will appear on the main stage on 8 August.
Razorlight, Billy Bragg and Frightened Rabbit are among the other acts signed up to play at Belladrum.
Also The Bad Shepherds, whose line up includes comedian Adrian Edmondson, The Temperance Movement and The Mekons and Robbie Fulks.
Festival promoter Joe Gibbs said: "Sir Tom has long been a hero of mine and it is a singular privilege to be able to welcome him to a Highland stage.
"We are also thrilled by the appearance of Razorlight at Bella, whose last festival appearance in the Highlands was to headline Rock Ness in 2008."
Last year's festival sold out its 15,800 capacity six weeks in advance of it taking place.


Warren Gatland says the door is not fully closed to Eli Walker after the Ospreys wing withdrew from Wales' World Cup squad with a hamstring injury.

Walker, 23, has been replaced by Gloucester back-row Ross Moriarty.
But because Walker has been released before the tournament's start, he could be recalled as injury cover later.
"He knows the door is not closed fully yet and there may be an opportunity later in the tournament," said Wales head coach Gatland.
The World Cup officially starts on Wednesday, 16 September.
Any players who are replaced because of injury after that date cannot return during the tournament.
Gatland said Walker's problem was assessed as a two to three week injury, so he could be recalled for the latter stages if Wales make it through their pool.
Walker was himself in the squad as cover for the injured Leigh Halfpenny.
"Eli's been very unfortunate in the past few years with the injuries he's picked up," said Gatland.
"He's obviously disappointed, but he understands that we have to put the team first and the process involved."
The New Zealander added that the decision to replace a wing with a back-row forward reflected Moriarty's form in training.
Moriarty made his international debut in the 35-21 defeat at home to Ireland in August and made an impression off the bench in the 23-19 win over Italy.
"Ross was unlucky in the first place to miss out on the squad, he made a huge amount of progress with us from where he started from with a condition point of view," added Gatland.
"He hadn't had a pre-season for the past three years. I just feel he's got a little bit of x-factor and it's a great opportunity to come back into the squad."


The Mexican attorney general's office says it will begin the process of extraditing recaptured drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman to the US.

It said the move was in line with US extradition requests from 2014.
On Friday Guzman was detained and sent back to the maximum-security prison he escaped from six months ago.
Guzman, who was one of the world's most wanted drug traffickers, escaped from there in July through a tunnel dug in the showers.
That was his second escape - he was first arrested in Guatemala in 1993 and escaped from Puente Grande jail in 2001, reportedly in a laundry basket after bribing officials.
He was on the run for 13 years before being held again in 2014.  Previous requests from the US have been turned down.
Late on Saturday, Rolling Stone magazine published an article by US actor Sean Penn based on a meeting he had with Guzman at his secret hideout before his capture.
The two men discuss various topics, including drug trafficking. Guzman is quoted as saying: "If there was no consumption, there would be no sales.''
The extradition of "El Chapo" to the US is by no means a foregone conclusion. The two countries have an extradition treaty but there are many steps that need to be taken and officials that need to approve the request.
Many people believe that he should face justice in Mexico first. But the case goes beyond sovereignty and national pride.
Those CCTV images of Guzman slipping down from his prison-cell shower into a mile-long tunnel last year still haunt authorities. He has escaped not just once but twice from high-security prisons and there is concern his influence and financial clout could allow him to do it again.
With the headaches that Guzman has given President Pena Nieto, whose reputation was severely bruised by the escape, perhaps extradition is the safer bet.
Who is 'El Chapo' Guzman?
No detail was given about the time frame for an extradition but experts say the process could take months.
The attorney general's office said that lawyers for Guzman would have three days to file objections and 20 more days to prove them, though that timeframe could be extended, AFP news agency reports.
In a statement welcoming Guzman's recapture, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Guzman had caused "significant violence, suffering and corruption on multiple continents".
The US filed requests in 2014 for his extradition so he could face charges of smuggling vast amounts of drugs into the country.
Guzman, who was named Public Enemy Number One by the Chicago Crime Commission in 2013, has been indicted by at least seven US federal district courts.
Guzman was arrested on Friday in the north-western city of Los Mochis in his home state of Sinaloa - which he had come to dominate through his drugs cartel.
During the raid, he managed to flee through a drain but was later caught by marines in a shootout.
Five suspects were killed in the operation and one marine wounded.


A transgender prisoner who was found hanging in a cell was being observed every half an hour on the night she died, an inquest has heard.

Joanne Latham, 38, was discovered by a prison officer at HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes.
She was serving life for three attempted murders when she died on 27 November.
Latham was identified as being at risk of suicide the day before and put in a locked cell, the court heard.
The inquest is being heard in the name of "Eddie Latham, otherwise known as Joanne Marie Latham".
Latham was registered under the name Joanne at the all-male prison and this was the name used by prison officers.
However, the court heard that she changed her name to Eddie Latham by deed poll earlier in 2015.
Coroner Tom Osborne asked prison officer Debbie Glyde whether the inmate had serious intentions to change gender. She replied that she "could not say because he went through phases".
Updates on this story and others from Buckinghamshire
Initially, Latham was being observed once an hour on the night she died, but this was increased as she had become "more agitated," Coroner's officer Mel Riley said.
"During the night he covered the cell observation panel with a J Cloth and barricaded the door. He responded verbally to the 03:30 and 04:00 checks but not the 04:30 check," she added.
Officers were called to break in to the cell and Latham was pronounced dead at 06:20 GMT, Milton Keynes Coroner's court heard.
Latham was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2001 for an attempted murder.
She was later handed further life sentences for the attempted murders of a prisoner at HMP Frankland, in Durham, in 2007 and of a fellow patient at Rampton secure hospital, in Nottinghamshire, in 2011.
Latham's family, who are from Manchester, were not present at the hearing.
The inquest was adjourned until 2 February 2016.


Having low vitamin D levels may increase a person's risk of developing Parkinson's disease later in life, say Finnish researchers.

Their study of 3,000 people, published in Archives of Neurology, found people with the lowest levels of the sunshine vitamin had a three-fold higher risk.
Vitamin D could be helping to protect the nerve cells gradually lost by people with the disease, experts say.
The charity Parkinson's UK said further research was required.
Parkinson's disease affects several parts of the brain, leading to symptoms like tremor and slow movements.
The researchers from Finland's National Institute for Health and Welfare measured vitamin D levels from the study group between 1978 and 1980, using blood samples.
They then followed these people over 30 years to see whether they developed Parkinson's disease.
They found that people with the lowest levels of vitamin D were three times more likely to develop Parkinson's, compared with the group with the highest levels of vitamin D.
Most vitamin D is made by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight, although some comes from foods like oily fish, milk or cereals.
As people age, however, their skin becomes less able to produce vitamin D.
Doctors have known for many years that vitamin D helps calcium uptake and bone formation.
But research is now showing that it also plays a role in regulating the immune system, as well as in the development of the nervous system.
Writing in an editorial in the US journal Archives of Neurology, Marian Evatt, assistant professor of neurology at Emory University School of Medicine, says that health authorities should consider raising the target vitamin D level.
"At this point, 30 nanograms per millilitre of blood or more appears optimal for bone health in humans.
"However, researchers don't yet know what level is optimal for brain health or at what point vitamin D becomes toxic for humans, and this is a topic that deserves close examination."
Dr Kieran Breen, director of research at Parkinson's UK, said: "The study provides further clues about the potential environmental factors that may influence or protect against the progression of Parkinson's.
"A balanced healthy diet should provide the recommended levels of vitamin D.
"Further research is required to find out whether taking a dietary supplement, or increased exposure to sunlight, may have an effect on Parkinson's, and at what stage these would be most beneficial."


England's Lee Slattery is tied for the lead with five holes held over until Monday at a weather-affected Shenzhen International at Genzon Golf Club.

Twenty-three players will return early on Monday to complete their rounds after play was suspended on Sunday because of bad light.
Slattery and South Korea's Soomin Lee are 14-under after 13 completed holes.
Co-leader Alexander Levy of France faces a birdie putt on the 13th green when play resumes.
More than six and a half hours were lost to bad weather over the first two days, and more time was lost in the final round on Sunday because of an afternoon thunderstorm.
Australian Scott Hend is the clubhouse leader at 13-under after a bogey-free 66, with South African Brandon Stone and Dutchman Joost Luiten also 13-under with five and three holes to complete respectively.


Members of the House of Lords who did not vote in the last parliamentary session claimed £100,000 in expenses, a report has found.

From 2010-15 a total of £360,000 was claimed by 62 peers who did not vote, the Electoral Reform Society said.
Most members are not paid a salary but can claim a daily allowance of up to £300 for Parliamentary duties.
The ERS said the Lords was "growing out of control" but a peer told the BBC that they do more than just vote.
Darren Hughes, deputy chief executive of the ERS, said: "The prime minister said he regrets not reforming the second House in the last parliament.
"It's time for him to act and finally fix our broken upper chamber."
However, Baroness Flather - a former Conservative peer who is now an independent, or "crossbencher" - said the report "missed the point".
She said some crossbenchers rarely vote, but they still contribute to sittings by raising questions, speaking in debates and by meeting people.
"I speak all the time in debates and questions. I became a crossbencher because I want to speak about issues I know the Tories don't want me to speak about.
"I might not vote but I am there and I am doing what I think I should be doing. I am not just going in for 20 minutes," she said.
Members do not have to vote in the House of Lords to be eligible for the £300 daily allowance - they can claim it for carrying out other duties.
According to the financial guide for members, they can claim the allowance if they attended a sitting of the House, or undertook "qualifying work away from Westminster".
The daily allowance replaced separate overnight allowances, day allowances, and office costs in the previous system.
Members do not have to claim the allowance, or they can claim a reduced allowance of £150 a day.
The report - entitled House of Lords: Fact vs Fiction - also found that 10 peers were responsible for claiming £260,000 of the £360,000 from 2010-2015.
The society estimates that if the prime minister forges ahead with plans to appoint 50 additional members of the Lords it will cost at least £1.3m per year.
The report also says that more than a third of Lords previously worked in politics, and more than half were over 70 years old, while only two were younger than 39.
Mr Hughes said: "This is not a chamber of experts - it's a chamber of professional politicians.
"Our House of Lords looks nothing like the public whose decisions it impacts - almost half live in London or the South East, while there are just two peers under the age of 40.
"This is a shockingly out of date and unrepresentative institution."

A far-right German politician has been rescued by refugees after he crashed his car in a tree, German media report.

Two Syrian nationals provided first aid to National Democratic Party (NPD) member Stefan Jagsch who was injured in the accident in Hesse state, DPA news agency said.
It said the refugees - who happened to be passing at the time - had left by the time police arrived.
NPD members have taken part in a series of anti-immigrant marches in Germany.
However, regional NPD official Jean Christoph Fiedler praised the two refugees for "a very good, humane act", the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper reported.
Germany's constitutional court is currently considering whether to ban the NPD.
The federal upper house (Bundesrat) of the parliament took the case to the court, by arguing in a petition that the party is racist and anti-Semitic, and poses a threat to Germany's democratic order.
A previous attempt to ban the NPD failed in 2003 because the judges dismissed evidence provided by state agents who had infiltrated the party.
The NPD's anti-immigrant stance is part of widespread German anxiety about the influx of non-EU migrants, many of them Muslim Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans fleeing war and human rights abuses.

Descendants of Ned Kelly have held a memorial service for the Australian outlaw, more than 130 years after he was hanged for murder.

The private service, attended by hundreds of people, took place in Wangaratta, north-east Victoria, ahead of his burial on Sunday.
The commemorations end a wrangle over the remains of the outlaw, who led a gang in Victoria in the 19th Century.
Kelly was hanged at Old Melbourne Jail in 1880 for killing three policemen.
His remains were thrown into a mass grave, then reburied inside Pentridge Prison in Victoria in 1929.  The bones were then exhumed in 2009 and identified using DNA testing in 2011. The outlaw's skull remains missing.
The site's developers wanted to keep the remains in a museum or memorial, but Kelly's family wanted the bones returned. The Victoria state government decided in favour of Kelly's relatives last year.
"This is something that has been needed to be done for a long time, so here for us it's nice to see a close to the chapter, so to speak, and right an old wrong," Anthony Griffiths, the great-grandson of Kelly's youngest sister Grace, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation before the ceremony.
"He (Kelly) especially requested it the day before he was hanged that he... be given to his friends and family so he could be buried properly."
Kelly will be buried in a cemetery in Greta, not far from the site of his gunfight with police in Glenrowan.
Ned Kelly was seen by some as a cold-blooded killer and by others as a folk hero who fought colonial authorities.
The exploits of the outlaw and his gang have been the subject of numerous films and television series.
"Of all Australians, Ned is without doubt one of the most famous, some would say infamous, and therein lies the great divide in society," said Monsignor John White, who led the service in Wangaratta.


A district in north-western Pakistan has banned Valentine's Day celebrations.

The local government in Kohat, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has told police officers to stop shops from selling Valentine's Day cards and items.
Kohat district is run by a religious political party and borders Pakistan's conservative tribal areas.
Valentine's Day is popular in many cities in Pakistan, but religious groups have denounced it as decadent.
The Kohat district administrator Maulana Niaz Muhammad told the BBC Urdu's Azizullah Khan: "Valentine's Day has no legal grounds, and secondly it is against our religion, therefore it was banned."
While giving cards and flowers was not in itself a bad thing, linking this to a specific day was not appropriate, Mr Muhammad said. He added that he felt such practices could encourage obscene behaviour.
There are about 30 shops in Kohat city selling gifts, cards and flowers for Valentine's Day, although no action appears to have been taken against them so far, our correspondent says.
Earlier this week, there were unconfirmed media reports that Valentine's Day gifts had been banned in the capital Islamabad - although this was subsequently denied by the government.
Religious groups have protested against Valentine's Day celebrations in previous years, calling it immodest.
In 2013, human rights activist Sabeen Mahmud held a campaign in support of Valentine's Day, but subsequently had to go into hiding after receiving death threats.
She was killed in a drive-by shooting in 2015.


From the Game Boy to the Wii, Nintendo has created some of the world's most memorable games consoles.

Some were big hits, but others have been big misses.
Ahead of the release of its next games machine, the Nintendo Switch, these are the main devices that have brought players the likes of Super Mario, Tetris, Zelda and Pokemon.
The Game & Watch was Nintendo's first breakout video game success.
Its inspiration came when developer Gunpei Yokoi saw a bored businessman punch buttons on a calculator to amuse himself on a train, says Katharine Byrne, news editor at video games publication MCV.
Up to that point, Nintendo had largely been a toy company. Its hits had included a Love Tester, which told couples how compatible they were.
But with the Game & Watch, it came up with a handheld console that introduced millions of players to now-longstanding Nintendo characters, such as Donkey Kong, Zelda and the Mario Brothers.
When Nintendo released the NES in North America, no-one thought it would succeed, says Tristan Donovan, a games industry writer.
"The industry had collapsed. There had been an enormous boom following the release of Space Invaders and Pac-man, but the bottom had fallen out of the market."
The company went ahead with the console anyway - which unlike the Game & Watch was hooked up to people's televisions.
It paid off. Towards the end of the decade, the NES had almost a complete monopoly in the US home video games market, Mr Donovan adds.
The next big hit was the Game Boy, which remains Nintendo's second-highest selling console.
"It brought hand-held gaming to the world," says Mr Donovan, author of the book, Replay: The History of Video Games.
That was despite "looking quite dated, even at the time", he says. The screen was in black and white, compared with Sega's Game Gear and Atari's Lynx.
"But it had Tetris and a long battery life," he adds, and went on to be one of the best-selling toys in the 1990s.
By the start of that decade, Nintendo faced growing competition for its NES console from rival Japanese games maker Sega.
Nintendo's answer was the Super NES, or SNES. "That was when it lost its stranglehold on the market, with Sega targeting older teenagers," says Mr Donovan.
Nintendo's strict policy against violence in its games gave it more of a family-friendly image, whereas Sega had more "blood and guts", with games such as Mortal Kombat.
Still, the SNES was a big success in Europe, where - together with the Mega Drive - it brought home video consoles into the mainstream, Mr Donovan adds.
Where the Game Boy and NES had been big successes, the Virtual Boy - Nintendo's virtual reality games console - proved to be a major dud.
The console was quietly discontinued about a year after it came out.
Among the issues, gamers complained of motion sickness and vomiting from the wraparound headset and black and red graphics.
Its failure also accelerated the departure of Nintendo designer Gunpei Yokoi, who along with creating the Game & Watch, was a major force behind the Game Boy, says Mr Donovan.
By the time the Nintendo 64 came out, it faced another big competitor - Japanese electronics giant Sony.
The N64 enjoyed some success - with popular games such as Mario Kart and the James Bond shoot-em-up Goldeneye - but came second in sales to Sony's PlayStation.
One of the main criticisms was that N64 games still used cartridges, which were more expensive than the CDs used by Sony, says Ms Byrne.
Mr Donovan agrees, adding that Nintendo was also "outgunned" by Sony on marketing, timing and appeal to older players.
The GameCube saw Nintendo fall further behind Sony, selling about 22 million consoles compared with an estimated 155 million of Sony's PlayStation 2.
"Apart from looking distinctive, the GameCube didn't do much more than the N64. It was not one of their great ideas," says Mr Donovan.
It replaced cartridges with CDs, but was outflanked by the PlayStation 2, in part, because that console enabled users to play DVDs.
"The PlayStation 2 was the beginning of game consoles as home entertainment," says Ms Byrne. "It was two things in one, which helped it pull even further ahead."
Then came the Nintendo DS - to date the company's best-selling console.
With adverts featuring actors Nicole Kidman, Julie Walters and Patrick Stewart playing its mind quizzes, the DS looked to appeal beyond traditional gamers.
It also did well with the core players of its handheld devices - "teens, tweens and children", says Lewis Ward, a gaming analyst at tech research company IDC.
"At that time, if you wanted to play a game on the move, there was no other place to go," he adds, with the boom in smartphones coming four years later.
"A big part of Nintendo's strategy with the Wii was to make something mums wouldn't be annoyed at," says Ms Byrne.
Despite reports of the motion-sensor controls flying into TV screens, the strategy seemed to work.
The small white consoles and its games - which followed players' movements - had broad appeal, from retirement homes to office staff rooms, and helped Nintendo overtake Sony again.
"The innovation of motion controls was something so different and so fun for users of all ages that it reached people who had not previously thought of buying game consoles," says Mr Ward.
The same could not be said, though, for the follow-up Wii U, which is the second worst-selling of Nintendo's main consoles.
There weren't enough non-Nintendo games available on it, Mr Ward says, and Nintendo failed to explain the benefits of the Wii U GamePad, which tried to popularise the idea of dual-screen gaming.
However, Seth Barton, editor of MCV, has another explanation.
If you look back through, from the N64 to the GameCube, then the Wii and after that the Wii U, Nintendo consoles are like Star Trek films, he jokes - every good one is followed by a bad one.


St Helens held on to claim a second successive Super League victory as they edged a game of 14 tries against Challenge Cup semi-finalists Wakefield.

Stand-off Jacob Miller ran in a hat-trick of Trinity's six tries.
But Saints, who trailed after five minutes, ran in eight of their own as they won both halves 22-16.
Jonny Lomax scored twice while Mark Percival, Greg Richards, Morgan Knowles, James Roby, Jordan Turner and Matty Fleming all crossed too.
Percival added six goals to end up with an individual 16-point haul.
Wakefield's other three try-scorers were Tom Johnstone, Liam Finn - who kicked four of his six conversion attempts - and Ben Jones-Bishop.
Saints, who had lost four on the spin prior to beating Hull KR last time out, remain in fifth place.
With three games left of the regular league season before the Super 8s, Saints pull four points clear of sixth-placed Wakefield, who have now won only once in five league games.
Wakefield head coach Chris Chester: "We're not worried about a top-eight finish. We can't keep relying on teams below us to keep losing.
"We know we need at least another point and they're not easy fixtures we've got left. We've just got to dust ourselves down and have crack on Friday night at Wigan.
"I was disappointed with the first 40 minutes. We dropped off a lot of tackles and had to do far too much defending.
"I thought we showed some decent character to get ourselves back into the game but we didn't show any patience. We got what we deserved."
St Helens head coach Keiron Cunningham: "From us taking the lead, we looked like we were just doing enough to be in control of the game. A lot of the points were gifted to Wakefield.
"We weren't clinical enough with our discipline and our completion was really poor you've but got to give players credit for keeping finding a way to get in front and holding onto a lead.
"I am sure the spectators got their money's worth. They are always similar games when we come to Wakefield.
"It speaks in bucketloads for the team, that the confidence is coming through, we just have to be smarter in the final third. I would have taken the two points before the game."
Wakefield: Jowitt; Jones-Bishop, Lyne, B Tupou, Johnstone; Miller, Finn; Fifita, Moore, England, Walton, Ashurst, Sio.
Replacements: Arona, Arundel, Annakin, Walker.
St Helens: Lomax; McDonnell, Fleming, Percival, Swift; Turner, Wilkin; Walmsley, Roby, Richards, Peyroux, Greenwood, McCarthy-Scarsbrook.
Replacements: Amor, Vea, Thompson, Knowles.
Referee: Joe Cobb.


An orangutan copying sounds made by researchers offers new clues to how human speech evolved, scientists say.

Rocky mimicked more than 500 vowel-like noises, suggesting an ability to control his voice and make new sounds.
It had been thought these great apes were unable to do this and, since human speech is a learned behaviour, it could not have originated from them.
Study lead Dr Adriano Lameira said this "notion" could now be thrown "into the trash can".
Dr Lameira, who conducted the research at Amsterdam University prior to joining Durham University, said Rocky's responses had been "extremely accurate".
The team wanted to make sure the ape produced a new call, rather than adapting a "normal orangutan call with a personal twist" or matching sounds randomly or by coincidence, he said.
The new evidence sets the "start line for scientific inquiry at a higher level", he said.
"Ultimately, we should be now in a better position to think of how the different pieces of the puzzle of speech evolution fit together."
The calls Rocky made were different from those collected in a large database of recordings, showing he was able to learn and produce new sounds rather than just match those already in his "vocabulary".
In a previous study Dr Lameira found a female orangutan at Cologne Zoo in Germany was able to make sounds with a similar pace and rhythm to human speech.
Researchers were "astounded" by Tilda's vocal skills but could not prove they had been learned, he said.
However, the fact that "other orangutans seem to be exhibiting equivalent vocal skills shows that Rocky is not a bizarre or abnormal individual", Dr Lameira said.
The research, which also involved universities in the Netherlands, Germany, the USA and Liverpool John Moores University, has been published in the journal Scientific Reports.


A 37-year-old man is being treated for facial wounds after being attacked by a knife or machete after a car chase.

Steven Daniel, also known as Bonzo, was in his dark blue Skoda Octavia when two cars pursued him at speed, causing him to stop. He was then attacked.
Police are treating the incident, which happened at about 00:10 on Craighall Road in Glasgow, as attempted murder.
The victim is thought to be a nephew of gangland figure Jamie Daniel, who died last year after a battle with cancer.
The incident was initially reported as a shooting but police later issued a clarification.
In the past 18 months, there has been a spate of attacks in the city, which detectives believe may, in some cases, be connected to the rivalry between the two notorious crime families, the Daniels and the Lyons.
Police said following the incident in the city's Port Dundas area, the two cars made off in an easterly direction.
Emergency services attended and Mr Daniel was taken by ambulance to hospital, where his condition was described as stable.
Craighall Road at the slip road to the M8 remained closed while police carried out forensic examinations.
Forensic experts are examining two cars which were found shortly after the incident. Both had been set on fire.
A black Audi vehicle was found in Forge Street, Germiston, and a silver Volkswagen vehicle was recovered in Balmuildy Road, Bishopbriggs.
Det Ch Insp John Kennedy said it appeared to have been a targeted attack.
He said: "I appreciate that people will automatically want to link this to other incidents in the past few months but, until I know more, I am unable to confirm that is the case."
He appealed to family members who knew who was responsible to "do the right thing" and contact the police.
"There are brothers, sisters, parents and other family members who know exactly what is going on and who is behind it," he said.
"This victim appears to have been targeted but he's also someone's son."
Det Ch Insp Kennedy also urged members of the public to contact them if they saw the Skoda being pursued, or saw anyone acting suspiciously near the area around the time of the incident.
Some sources believe that Jamie Daniel's death ended an uneasy truce between the the Daniel and Lyons families.
In September 2015, Ross Sherlock was shot near a primary school in Bishopbriggs.
He survived and two men are due to stand trial accused of attempted murder next month.
In November last year, Euan Johnston was shot while sitting in his car at traffic lights in Glasgow's Kinning Park. He was taken to hospital but did not survive.
The 26-year-old was due to stand trial over allegations of organised crime and supplying heroin. Police are still looking for the hitmen behind the killing.
In January, Ross Monaghan was targeted by a gunman as he dropped off his daughter at a primary school in Glasgow. He received injuries to his back and was taken to hospital.
A man has been charged with attempted murder in connection with that incident.
In March this year, Robert Daniel who is understood to be Steven Daniel's cousin, was shot outside his home in Stepps after returning from a family party.
The investigation is continuing with police yet to make any arrests.
Later that month, Ross Craig was shot in broad daylight outside his home in Shawlands.
CCTV was released of the suspect and the investigation into the shooting is continuing.


Cooking up a festive feast is going to be cheaper this year, and many of the key ingredients are selling at the lowest prices seen for years.

Fresh turkey and Brussels sprouts are the cheapest they've been since 2011. Stuffing, Christmas pudding and mince pies are all selling, on average, for less this year than last.
So consumers can feel a little less guilty for having an extra helping this Christmas.
The findings, from price comparison site MySupermarket, are based on average prices across branded and unbranded goods in the major food retailers in the UK.
The comparison site believes it is competition between these major retailers that is pushing prices lower.
"There is a price war going on - with the big five supermarkets fighting to get customers into their stores," says Kim Ludlow, managing director of MySupermarket.
But their research also reveals the benefits of shopping around, with some of the most popular items - like puddings or turkeys - being discounted in a store.  But those savings can then often be cancelled out with other items becoming more expensive.
"The supermarkets are shouting so much about being the cheapest, that it is becoming white noise - some consumers simply do not believe it any more, and they want to check it out for themselves," Mr Ludlow adds.
The supermarkets' ability to cut costs are down to fundamentals.
Some of the key ingredients in shoppers' trolleys have been coming down in price. A dozen eggs will cost an average of £2.74 today compared with £3.00 in 2011.
Butter is down from £1.54 to £1.49 over the same period of time. Milk is selling at cheaper prices this Christmas than last year.
And this ties in to a wider global picture.
Food, like other commodities such as oil or gold, is traded around the world, and prices are governed by supply and demand.
A current over-supply in the dairy industry has pushed milk prices down by more than 60% in the past two years.
China's appetite for dairy products is not what many in the industry expected, and there is also the effect of sanctions imposed by Russia against EU imports. It means there's more milk, and its by-products, sloshing around than required.
That has a knock-on effect too. A slice of festive Stilton cheese is a pinch cheaper this year.
"The price of milk is important to us, and we have to buy a lot of milk to make our cheese," says Robin Skailes, from Cropwell Bishop Creamery.
"So the prices are bearing on our costs, plus the labour costs. Stilton is a hand-made cheese - there's a lot of work that goes into it and so that does form quite a high proportion of our costs."
So, even though the costs of production are increasing, the retail price is coming down.
Mr Skailes says 98% of cheese is sold in supermarkets and that there are price wars going on at the moment.
He says that with Stilton "being a favourite Christmas product", it might be used by supermarkets to entice people into stores.
The current environment is not just affecting dairy. Anyone wanting an extra couple of pigs-in-blankets shouldn't feel the squeeze - in their wallet anyway.
Global pork prices are the lowest they've been since 2008.
Meanwhile, the weather can also have an impact.
"We've had a bumper year this year," says David Read of food research firm Prestige Purchasing.
"The weather has been not too hot, not too cold. It's been not too wet and not too dry. And so farmers have found themselves with yields that are 10% to 15% higher."
But he says that current conditions are also to do with a favourable pound to euro exchange rate - meaning UK importers of meat and fish can get more for their buck on the continental mainland.
"I think we can be pretty confident that we're going to have low food inflation for at least the next year," he adds.
Anyone looking for a frugal Christmas, it seems, should load up on meat and sugar, and leave the vegetables alone. Potatoes have almost doubled in price at retailers since 2011.
But it is not all good news for shoppers. Some items are more expensive.
Sparkling wine is up to an average of £9.82 a bottle - more than £1 up on 2011. And Christmas pudding prices have risen steadily over the years - although on average they should cost you a little less this Christmas than last.


Flooding on an access route to Northern Ireland's national football stadium during Friday's World Cup qualifier match has led to complaints from fans.

Fans using Windsor Park's west stand had to pick their way past big puddles of dirty water after heavy rain flooded the access road towards Boucher Road.
Gary McAllister of the Amalgamation of Northern Ireland Supporters Clubs said the water was "ankle deep" in parts.
He said this caused a "bottleneck" as fans tried to leave the stadium.
Construction work is currently ongoing along the access route, as part of Belfast City Council's redevelopment of its nearby Olympia leisure centre.
Fans who cheered on the Northern Ireland team to their 4-nil victory over Azerbaijan reported long delays leaving the ground.
Some of them complained on social media, posting photos of the difficulties they faced.
Keith Anderson tweeted:  "Getting out of the national stadium tonight was an absolute joke."
He told BBC News NI he faced delays of up to 30 minutes and witnessed children and elderly people having to step on temporary fencing that was lying on the ground.
"I would hate to think of what would have happened if we had to get out quickly in an emergency," Mr Anderson said.
Another fan tweeted that it was "horrendous" watching wheelchair users "struggle through" the water.
He claimed the situation made a "mockery" of the redeveloped stadium's official opening.
Mr McAllister raised fans' complaints with the Irish Football Association (IFA), which then issued an apology on its Twitter account.
"Huge apologies to anyone who had difficulty getting in and out of the ground tonight. We are working with relevant bodies to sort asap," the IFA tweeted.
The IFA added: "The walkway between the Boucher Road entrance and the national football stadium at Windsor Park is owned by Belfast City Council and is part of the new Olympia leisure centre being built behind the west stand.
"The Irish Football Association will be in contact with the council and the relevant contractors to ensure that suitable improvements are made to the walkway ahead of Tuesday night's game between Northern Ireland and Croatia."
In a statement to BBC News NI, a spokeswoman for Belfast City Council said: "We are actively investigating the matter and will work with contractors and the IFA to resolve the issue."


Torquay United stalled Gateshead's National League promotion hopes with a convincing 3-1 victory at Plainmoor.

Defeat leaves the Tynesiders nine points off the top five, down in ninth place.
The home side took the lead when winger David Fitzpatrick foraged down the right, cut inside and beat Dan Hanford with a powerful angled shot.
Paddy McLaughlin stroked home a second-half penalty to bring Gateshead level, but substitute Paul Rooney poked Torquay back in front soon after, getting on the end of Dan Sparkes' excellent free-kick.
The away side were desperately unlucky on occasion, James Bolton's header came back off the bar and Danny Johnson's effort hit a post as they pressed for a leveller.
Late on, however, Brett Williams intercepted Luke Hannant's misplaced pass and added a flattering element to Torquay's win.

In the days after last December's historic announcement that the US and Cuba were to re-establish diplomatic relations, a number of dissidents were released from Cuban jails as part of the deal.

Among them was Roberto Hernandez.
In a small, dank apartment in a rundown neighbourhood of Havana, I paid him a visit as he was reunited with his family and fellow government opponents.
He said his time in jail had only strengthened his resolve against the Castro government.
"My ideas won't budge," said Mr Hernandez. "If anything, they've hardened a little more. I'm more sure than ever about what I believe."
Mr Hernandez was jailed for five years, and served two, for taking part in a demonstration with the anti-government Patriotic Union of Cuba (UNPACU).
But just as Roberto Hernandez was being released, another dissident was being detained - a graffiti artist called Danilo Maldonado, commonly known as "El Sexto", whose work is unrelentingly critical of the Cuban government.
On this occasion, the authorities decided he had gone too far: he had mocked the leaders of the revolution.
On 25 December 2014, he painted the names Fidel and Raul on two pigs and intended to release them in a plaza in Havana.
His idea was that people would try to catch the pigs and the winner could keep them.
Whether you see it as a cheap publicity stunt or a valid artistic expression, the event was never likely to be allowed to happen in Cuba.
Maldonado was stopped by state security officers before he got to the square and was put in jail, reportedly without trial.
The government say "El Sexto" is a mercenary in the pay of anti-Castro groups in Washington and Miami.
But Amnesty International recently deemed him a prisoner of conscience.
"To jail an artist for painting a name on a pig is ludicrous," said Carolina Jimenez, the organisation's Americas Deputy Director for research.
Now, there is some expectation that Maldonado might be released soon, after he spent days on hunger strike and US President Barack Obama apparently discussed his case in person with Cuban President Raul Castro earlier this year.
No official release date has yet been confirmed.
Either way, the Obama administration will hope he is out soon.
The arrest of what they consider seemingly harmless young opponents does not bolster their argument that engagement with Cuba is the right approach after decades of hostility.
"They're hoping that the Cubans will begin to ease up on human rights and open up politically. That would enormously helpful," says Michael Shifter, of the Inter-American Dialogue organisation  in Washington DC.
"It makes it more difficult for Obama to make his case with Congress on the embargo - which is that it should be lifted - when these kind of practices continue and there is really no sign of significant change so far."
The US broke off diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1959 after Fidel Castro and his brother Raul led a revolution toppling US-backed President Fulgencio Batista. The Castros established a revolutionary socialist state with close ties to the Soviet Union.
The following year, the US imposed a trade embargo covering nearly all exports to Cuba. This was expanded by President Kennedy into a full economic embargo that included stringent travel restrictions.
The embargo is estimated to have cost the Cuban economy more than $1.1trillion, and to cost the US economy $1.2bn a year.
In September, the US announced eased restrictions on business and travel with Cuba, the latest move by President Barack Obama to improve relations with the country.
US businesses will now be allowed to open up locations in Cuba.
Even small overtures by the Castro government towards dialogue with some of the more high-profile human rights activists would go a long way to helping Obama's position, says Mr Shifter.
But he also points out that even the sight of the Cuban government sitting at the negotiating table with the Ladies in White opposition movement or UNPACU activists would not be enough to appease those members of Congress staunchly opposed to lifting the embargo.
Some analysts believe they would "keep changing the goalposts" over human rights and would not back removing the embargo under any conditions.
None of this is necessarily a surprise to Washington.
Raul Castro indicated the one-party system in Cuba was not up for negotiation in his closing speech to parliament in December.
"We shouldn't expect that in order for relations to improve with the US, Cuba is renouncing the ideas for which we have fought for more than a century and for which our people have spilled so much blood and run such great risks," he told the deputies gathered in the chamber, as well as millions of ordinary Cubans watching at home.
Cuba did not not expect the US to change its political system, "so we demand that they respect ours", he said.
A new diplomatic relationship has begun and further economic easing could come with it.
But even if El Sexto is released soon, it is unlikely to herald any new political winds on the island.


A boy has been airlifted to hospital after falling down rocks at a beach on Anglesey.

Emergency services were called to Rhosneigr beach at 16.31 BST on Thursday.
A rapid response vehicle and the Wales Air Ambulance attended.
The boy was flown to Bangor's Ysbyty Gwynedd with head and leg injuries.


The way in which people in Scotland are trained for work needs to change in order to meet future challenges, a think tank has warned.

The Equipping Scotland for the Future report was published by the Institute for Public Policy Research Scotland.
It said colleges, apprenticeships and work-based training had to concentrate on tackling issues around pay, progression and productivity.
It also called for a skills system "with a much clearer national focus".
The Scottish government said Scotland had the highest proportion of employees, about 80%, paid the Living Wage of all the four countries of the UK.
Ministers said they were working to ensure a skills system where businesses, academics and civic partners work together to "optimise economic impact".
The IPPR Scotland report said Scotland's pay rate had fallen behind the UK after catching up between 2010 and 2015.
It also found fewer Scots progressed from low-skilled jobs to middle and high-skilled jobs than in the rest of the country.
Scotland's standing has improved against the national average, but the UK is said to have performed poorly over this time.
Rachael Thomas, a research fellow at IPPR Scotland, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme  that the skills system must help to deliver the economy that the country needs.
She said: "Technology change doesn't just destroy jobs, it also creates new ones.
"And history suggests that the jobs that are created will be more highly skilled than the ones that are lost.
"New technologies will therefore require new skills and the skills system will really need to respond and adapt to increased demand from the labour market in this area."
The report suggested technological and demographic changes would alter the economy and society resulting in people working longer in multiple careers and for multiple employers.
The think tank put forward six measures for improvement, including setting out a clear national purpose for the skills system.
It said there should be "regional integration" and flexibility of learning to encourage people to learn at their own pace.
Further recommendations included increasing the skills that can be transferred and clarifying the routes to learning to avoid "confusion and duplication".
Jamie Hepburn, Minister for Employability and Training, said the Scottish government was using "all of the powers at our disposal" to promote fair pay and conditions.
He added: "We know it's important that we address skills gaps and have confirmed we will use the apprenticeship levy, which the UK government forced on Scotland without consultation, to give both employers and employees more options and flexibility.
"We will boost Modern Apprenticeships and address skills gaps and the training needs of existing employees where a full apprenticeship might not be appropriate.
"Our review of enterprise and skills agencies will look at building on existing strengths to ensure a system where all of our agencies work with each other and collaboratively with our business, academic and civic partners to optimise economic impact across the whole of Scotland."

Belfast's Michael Conlan is to have his fourth professional fight on a card topped by a world title double header in Tuscan, Arizona, on 22 September.

The former world amateur champion has won his first three super-bantamweight contests by knockout.
The 25-year-old's most recent victory was a third round stoppage of Australian Jarrett Owen at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on 2 July.
The Top Rank managed boxer is likely to return to fight in Belfast in December.
Conlan headlined his first two Top Rank cards in New York and Chicago, before featuring prominently on the undercard of Jeff Horn's shock win over Manny Pacquaio earlier this month.
Now it will be another world title undercard for the Los-Angeles-based professional.
WBO super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez defends his belt for the second time against Jessie Hart, while Conlan's stablemate under Manny Robles at The Rock Gym, Oscar Valdez will defend his WBO featherweight title for a third time against a to-be-confirmed opponent.
Conlan stopped Alfredo Chanez in Chicago in his second professional outing in late May, the referee calling a halt in the third round of the scheduled six.
He also stopped Tim Ibarra inside three rounds on his debut in the paid ranks at Madison Square Garden on St Patrick's Day.


Wakefield recorded their second victory of the season to leave Huddersfield bottom of the Super League table.

Jermaine McGillvary put Giants ahead, before Wildcats opened up an 18-6 lead through Tom Johnstone, Michael Sio and Reece Lyne.
Two Jake Connor tries and a Danny Brough penalty tied the scores before Max Jowitt put Wakefield back in front.
Aaron Murphy replied but Johnstone and Nick Scruton went over to hand Wildcats head coach Chris Chester his first win.
Chester, who was appointed following Brian Smith's resignation, took charge of his first home game with his side having lost 22-4 away at Hull FC last week.
But it was Huddersfield who began the brighter as Leroy Cudjoe found McGillvary on the wing and Brough converted.
Wildcats produced a stirring response as they crossed the whitewash three times only to be pegged back.
Jowitt's superb sidestep gave Wakefield the advantage as the game became scrappy and both Huddersfield's Larne Patrick and the hosts' Mickael Simon were sent to the sin-bin.
Giants replied through Murphy, but Brough missed the conversion to draw his side level and Johnstone and Scruton claimed the victory for the Wildcats.
The defeat means Huddersfield, who reached the Super League semi-finals last season, sit bottom of the table having recorded just one win all season.
Wakefield coach Chris Chester:
"Over the 80 minutes I thought we were the better side - we set the tone early doors, played some decent football, threw the ball around and defended our own line well.
"They have some quality players and we knew it would be a grind and it wasn't until the last six or seven minutes that the game finally went away from Huddersfield.
"Tom Johnstone (who scored two tries) looked good and young Max Jowitt had a fantastic game.
"There was bags of effort from everyone and collectively we worked hard for each other. From one to 17 the attitude was first class."
Huddersfield head coach Paul Anderson:
"We're in hole and we are where we are for a reason because we just aren't good enough at the moment.
"The one thing we must do is stick together and work hard because ultimately it's effort that gets you through and gets wins.
"I'm very disappointed - it's a tough one to take. It's only so long you can keep saying when we get this back and that back... the reality is we've got to stop talking and start doing.
"We'll be in (training) tomorrow because we have some questions to ask."
Wakefield: Jowitt, Lyne, Arundel, Gibson, Johnstone, Miller, Finn, Scruton, Moore, England, Kirkmond, Ashurst, Sio.
Replacements: Simon, Annakin, Howarth, Molloy.
Huddersfield: Simpson, McGillvary, Cudjoe, Connor, Murphy, Brough, Brierley, Huby, Wood, Rapira, Ta'ai, Lawrence, Hinchcliffe.
Replacements: Patrick, Johnson, Leeming, Mason.


Sri Lanka Cricket president Thilanga Sumathipala wants his team to tour Pakistan for the first time since their bus was attacked by gunmen in Lahore.

Since that 2009 attack, Zimbabwe have been the only full international side to tour Pakistan, playing five limited-overs games in Lahore in 2015.
"I am keen to take my team to Pakistan," said Sumathipala.
"We have three Twenty20 games against Pakistan in September and we would like to play at least one in Lahore."
Pakistan have played most of their "home" games since 2009 in the United Arab Emirates, although they "hosted" Australia in England in 2010.
As well as Sri Lanka, Pakistan are also hoping to host an International Cricket Council (ICC) World XI in September, which has led the Pakistan Cricket Board to recall its players currently playing overseas, in English county cricket and the Caribbean Premier League.
However, in June, a series of proposed games between Pakistan and Afghanistan were cancelled following a bomb attack in Kabul, while Pakistan and India have not met in Test cricket since the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Speaking at the Asian Cricket Council's annual general meeting in Colombo, Sumathipala added: "We have had our security experts visit and make an assessment, and things look positive with things improving all over the country and especially Lahore being cleared.
"There is always risk - there were two attacks in London during the Champions Trophy, but cricket continued under the security assurances of the ICC, so we too must be as accommodating and understanding as possible with our members and extend our fullest support to them as the cricketing family of Asia.
"Sri Lanka suffered through three decades of terrorism and war and at one stage no one wanted to come here - Pakistan stood by us then, as did India."


An MP has dedicated her attempts to tackle violence against women to a constituent who waived her right to anonymity after she was brutally raped.

Sarah Scott was a teenager when she was attacked by Adrian Ruddock in Aberdeen.
SNP MP Eilidh Whiteford's bill, which aims to ratify the Istanbul Convention on violence against women, is backed by the UK government.
She says the measure is for Ms Scott and every person who knows the "life-shattering reality of sexual violence".
The Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Ratification of Convention) Bill cleared the Commons on Friday and will now undergo further scrutiny in the Lords.
The government has faced criticism for signing the convention but failing to ratify it, despite the fact it was adopted by the Council of Europe in 2011.
Ms Whiteford claimed the proposals were the "beginning of substantive change" for victims of violence and applauded the efforts of campaigners, adding: "Sisters have had to do it for themselves".
In dedicating the bill to Ms Scott, she said: "So Sarah, this bill is for you and for every person who knows at first hand the brutal, life-shattering reality of sexual violence and has had the courage to claim courage and fight for it.
"Thank you for helping us all be a bit braver and a bit stronger in the fight for equality and human rights - and more determined than ever to end this abuse once and for all."
Earlier the Banff and Buchan MP accused Conservative Philip Davies of playing the role of "pantomime villain" by attempting to "filibuster" - or delay - the proposals because he disapproved of them.
"To see this legislation filibustered is soul-destroying for those who really need the protection of such a bill," she said.
But Mr Davies said the proposals would not make "a blind bit of difference" as figures from Sweden showed no change in levels of violence after it ratified the Istanbul Convention.
"In fact, all that's happened is it's continued to increase," he said. "So all of those people claiming this is essential to reduce violence against women, what do they say now? Absolutely nothing."
Sarah Scott was raped after a girls' night out by an acquaintance who persuaded her to go to his flat by saying her friends were already there.
Ruddock threatened to kill her and she was beaten and raped.
In May 2011 he was convicted at the High Court in Aberdeen and sentenced to eight years imprisonment.


The parent company of Southern rail has gone to the High Court in an attempt to stop a drivers' strike.

Members of the Aslef union have backed three days of action next week in a dispute over driver-only operated trains.
But Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), which has claimed all Southern services could be halted, have argued the strike would breach customers' rights.
A separate Southern network strike by RMT members has entered its second day.
Southern has said the hearing, which started earlier, will continue into Thursday with a judgement expected at 14:00 GMT.
Aslef members have also launched an indefinite ban on overtime which, coupled with the RMT action over changes to the role of conductors, led to about half of Southern's services being cancelled on Tuesday.
The long-running RMT dispute, which has seen several strikes throughout 2016, is set to continue in the run-up to Christmas.

Maria Caulfield, the Conservative MP for Lewes, has warned of the impact a strike by Aslef drivers would have in Sussex.
She said: "Southern has said if the Aslef strike goes ahead next Tuesday, they won't provide any trains whatsoever."
She said Gatwick Express and Thameslink services would be unaffected, but in areas only served by Southern there would be no trains.
The latest strike began on Tuesday and is due to finish at 23:59 GMT on Thursday.
A spokesman for Southern said the company had "led the way" in trying to resolve the dispute but claimed the RMT would not move on the "fundamental issue" of helping Southern "modernise" its train service.
Gary Hassell, from the RMT, said: "We are definitely prepared to talk, as far as I'm aware Southern haven't spoken to us for months.
"But we won't be stopping the strike because we've got a mandate from our members."
