Dame Judi Dench has got her first tattoo for her 81st birthday.

The tattoo was a present from her daughter the actress Finty Williams.
She has 'carpe diem', which means 'seize the day' in Latin, in capital letters on her wrist.
"That's my motto: 'Seize the day.' Finty gave it to me for my 81st birthday - she's wonderful with surprises," she told Surrey Life magazine.
"Good, isn't it? Mind you, the company of A Winter's Tale, which I was doing at the time, used to say that it said fish of the day." she said.
The tattoo could be seen on her wrist at a James Bond gala evening to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award earlier this month.
Previously Dame Judi had said she was tempted to get a tattoo to mark her 80th birthday.
She told Good Housekeeping she had chosen a symbol but she was not totally sure about it.
"There's an Indian symbol that I like, which supposedly represents life and love and everything.
"One of the cameramen who worked on The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel told me what it meant, but I'm a bit nervous in case I'm being set upâ€¦ It might be unbelievably rude!"
She has also joked in the past that she had got a tattoo of the movie producer Harvey Weinstein on her bottom.
She told the Hollywood Reporter in 2014, that she had embarrassed Weinstein when she told him about this supposed tattoo.
"I once said to him, 'I have your named tattooed on my bum.' He laughed and was, well, quite embarrassed, actually. It's quite difficult to embarrass Harvey, but I did!"
And she went a step further with her joke when she went to lunch with him.
"Beforehand, I got my makeup lady to actually write Harvey's name [on my body]. Then I brought it up at lunch and said, 'You know, I do have it on my bum' - and then I actually got up and showed him! I've never seen a man more embarrassed and I've never let him forget it."


Army bomb disposal experts have visited the Surrey home of a British man, shot dead with his wife, mother-in-law and a cyclist in the French Alps last week.

Neighbours of Saad al-Hilli in Claygate were evacuated as items in a garden shed were examined but police later said they were not "hazardous".
Meanwhile, French police have confirmed the death of Mr al-Hilli's 74-year old mother-in-law, but have not named her.
The al-Hillis' eldest daughter Zainab has been brought out of a coma.
The seven-year-old was shot and injured during the attack last week.  Her four-year-old sister, Zeena, has returned to the UK.
Zeena lay undiscovered for eight hours after her parents, her grandmother, and a local cyclist died in Wednesday's attack in Chevaline.
French and British investigators, including Surrey Police firearms officers, started examining the Claygate home of Mr al-Hilli, 50, on Saturday as part of an attempt to establish a motive for the murders which took place during the family's camping holiday.
Officers from the Royal Logistics Corps bomb disposal unit arrived at the family home after concerns were raised by Surrey Police.
They spent about two hours at the property before leaving shortly after midday.
An extended cordon, put up around the property while the explosives experts were there, has since been relaxed and residents have returned to their homes.
Surrey Police said: "The items were found... when the search of the property was extended from the main building to outbuildings in the garden. A bomb disposal unit was called to the scene to carry out an assessment as a precautionary measure."
A cordon around the house and gardens will remain in place as the search of the property continues.
Surrey Police said earlier that the investigation is French-led, with British officers facilitating requests rather than following their own leads.
On Sunday, French prosecutor Eric Maillaud has said seven-year-old Zainab is still under sedation and will not be able to be questioned for several more days.
Mr Maillaud said her sister Zeena has returned to the UK.
The French prosecutor said: "She returned to the UK by air. On arrival she was put under the care of the authorities and the social services."
By Keith DoyleBBC News in Claygate
Neighbours on this pleasant street flanked by large houses have spent much of the morning wondering what the threat was and when they could return to their homes.
Earlier, the police suddenly pushed the media back from our position outside the gates of the al-Hilli home.
They said they had discovered items of concern in the house.
A sudden surge of news teams and onlookers appeared and concerned police kept trying to push people further back.
When the bomb disposal team arrived, the reason for the frantic activity became clearer.
After a couple of hours of fevered speculation it became apparent there was no air of urgency among members of the Royal Logistics Corps.
They were not wearing protective clothing and appeared relaxed. Soon after, they left.
A worrying morning for locals, already shocked by the brutal murder of their neighbours, was over.
In an earlier briefing, Mr Maillaud told reporters Zeena had been interviewed, but he did not see a need to speak to her again as she "did not see anything".
A spokesman for Surrey County Council confirmed it was working with the French and British authorities.
In a statement, Darryl Taylor, the girls' head teacher at Claygate Primary School, said: "The thoughts of everyone connected with the school are with relatives and friends at this difficult time. We will do all we possibly can to provide support and advice to our pupils and staff."
In France, police have recovered a laptop computer from the caravan in which the family was staying and are studying more video footage from around the crime site.
Police have also returned to the scene and widened their area of investigation as they probe the getaway route taken. They have also asked their Italian and Swiss counterparts to help in the hunt for the killers.
Mr al-Hilli's wife, Iqbal, and her 74-year-old mother who held a Swedish passport, were killed, close to the tourist destination of Lake Annecy, on Wednesday.
The fourth victim, a cyclist whose body was found near the car, has been named as 45-year-old Sylvain Mollier.
In Annecy on Saturday, Mr Maillaud said post-mortem examinations found the victims were killed by several bullets and "all four were hit twice in the head".
The prosecutor had previously said 25 shots were fired in total.
A couple of days after the killings, French police said that a possible dispute over money between Mr al-Hilli and his brother, Zaid, was one of the lines of inquiry in the investigation.
This was based on credible information coming from the British police, they said.
But Mr Maillaud has since said that Zaid al-Hilli, who denied to UK police there was any dispute over "financial matters", would be interviewed "as a witness" by French officers "just like any other family member".
"Everyone talks about a dispute between the brothers as if it was an established fact. The brother says there was no dispute so let us remain cautious about that," he said.
Flowers have been left at the scene of the shooting in France, while floral tributes from neighbours have been placed at the al-Hilli home in recent days.
In a statement, the vicar of Claygate, the Reverend Philip Plyming, said: "I, and the church community of Claygate, share the shock felt by so many in the village and beyond at the recent tragic events in France."


A garden at a property in Luton is being examined by officers investigating the disappearance of a 50-year-old woman police now believe was murdered.

Natalia Doherty was last seen on 15 April 2003 in Eastbourne, where she was living at the time.
The house in Icknield Way was searched in September as part of the investigation.
Two men were later arrested and bailed in connection with the disappearance.
A Luton man, aged 66, and a 71-year-old man from Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, were detained on suspicion of assisting an offender and preventing a lawful burial.
Officers said ground survey work was now being carried out on the surface of the garden to see if the ground had been disturbed.
Detectives believe that near to the date she was last seen alive, Ms Doherty - who was also known by the surnames Wilkanowska and Logan - was thought to have travelled to Luton to stay with her ex-husband, Gerald Doherty, who has since died - at the Regents Arms in Hastings Street.
But there were no confirmed sightings of the mother-of-three in the town.
Officers from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire major crime unit launched an investigation in January 2014 into the case, which has led them to believe Ms Doherty was murdered.
A police spokesman said: "Inquiries have since failed to show any sign she is alive."
Investigators are keen to trace her final movements and has asked anyone who recognises her or Mr Doherty from their time at the now-demolished pub in Hastings Street, or has any information relating to her disappearance, to contact them.


The Rwandan spy chief arrested in the UK over alleged war crimes had travelled to London to meet the head of MI6, sources have told BBC Newsnight.

Karenzi Karake, 54, the head of Rwanda's intelligence services, was due to meet Alex Younger on 18 June.
But the meeting was cancelled at the last moment, according to sources. The general was arrested two days later.
Gen Karake has been granted Â£1m bail by Westminster magistrates ahead of a full extradition hearing in October.
Gen Karake appeared in court on Thursday wearing a green and yellow jumpsuit. He has been held since Saturday at Belmarsh high security prison in east London.
Lawyers acting for him, including Cherie Booth QC, made it clear they believe the charges against him are politically motivated.
He was arrested at Heathrow airport on Saturday under a European Arrest Warrant on behalf of authorities in Spain.
Gen Karake is accused by Spain of ordering massacres in Rwanda in the wake of the 1994 genocide there.
Whitehall sources neither confirmed nor denied details of MI6's engagement with Gen Karake.
Nick Hopkins, BBC Newsnight's investigations correspondent, said the claim that Gen Karake had been due to meet Britain's most senior intelligence official was embarrassing for the British government.
He said the Rwandans "feel such a sense of betrayal over all this".
"One of the things that became clear at the [court] hearing is that Karake's lawyers will be relying on the fact that he should have had diplomatic immunity - he was here on official business," our correspondent said.
"So I am sure that they will be seeking from the Foreign Office some kind of confirmation that he was here to see his counterpart."


The government of Honduras has begun deploying soldiers to protect public buses as part of a campaign to reduce soaring levels of violent crime.

Two soldiers will ride each bus in the capital, Tegucigalpa, and the second city, San Pedro Sula.
President Porfirio Lobo said the move would free police officers for street patrols in crime-ridden neighbourhoods.
Public buses in Honduras are frequently attacked by gangs who rob passengers and extort money from drivers.
The Honduran government began deploying troops on the streets last year in response to a public outcry over violent crime and the failure of the police to ensure security.
Honduras has the world's highest murder rate, according to the UN, with much of the killing linked to drug-trafficking.
In an address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, President Lobo again blamed the international drug trade for the violence afflicting his country.
"Our misfortune is to be in between the north and south," Mr Lobo said, referring to Honduras's role as a transit point for South American cocaine being smuggled to the US.


The Football Association has announced it is to bid to host the 2021 European Women's Championship.

The bidding process for the tournament begins in September with a final decision due in 2018.
England were knocked out of this year's tournament at the semi-final stage by hosts the Netherlands.
That game - part of a tournament expanded to 16 teams for the first time - generated a peak audience of 4 million TV viewers in the UK.
FA chief executive Martin Glenn said the bid reflected English football's commitment to supporting the women's game.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"The Lionesses' performances at the Euros this summer gave the country great pride," he said. "It also showed the significant impact that hosting a major European tournament can have on growing and developing women's football.
"Grassroots participation is growing, we think there will be more women playing football next year than playing netball, so it's really growing fast. Hosting the Euros here in England in 2021 at Wembley and all the other great stadia around the country would really give the game another boost."
England also hosted the Euros in 2005.
In March, the FA launched its "Gameplan for Growth" scheme, saying it aims to double participation and create a successful and long-lasting high quality system for women and girls football.


The White House has told a US congressional committee it will not comply with a request to release files related to a controversial former aide.

The House Oversight Committee is looking into payments to fired National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Lawmakers suspect he failed to disclose money he received in December 2015 to address a Moscow gala, where he sat next to President Vladimir Putin.
Mr Flynn quit in February after misleading the White House.
The retired US Army lieutenant general had failed to divulge his conversations with the Russian ambassador, to Vice-President Mike Pence.
Mr Flynn's links to Russia are being scrutinised by the FBI and two congressional committees, as part of wider investigations into claims that Moscow sought to help Donald Trump win the US presidential election.
In addition to those inquiries, the House Oversight Committee is looking into whether Mr Flynn fully disclosed payments from Russian and Turkish or other foreign sources.
The oversight panel wanted to see his application for security clearance before he joined the White House administration in January.
But the White House referred the request to the defence department.
White House legislative affairs director Marc Short said in a letter on 19 April that he would be "unable to accommodate" the request because it relates to Mr Flynn's actions before joining the White House.
The legal noose appears to be tightening around Michael Flynn's neck.
While he was forced to resign as Donald Trump's national security adviser because of political concerns - what the White House said was a lack of honesty with Mr Pence and other administration officials - he's now being accused of disclosure violations that could carry criminal charges.
While this is obviously concerning to Mr Flynn, it's also a significant embarrassment for the White House, as these revelations represent a massive breakdown in the vetting process for its high-ranking officials.
The position of national security adviser is extremely sensitive - effectively the president's eyes and ears within the defence and intelligence communities - and the person who fills the role should be free from any possible foreign entanglements or possible ethical conflicts.
The contours of Mr Flynn's Russian connections were firmly in view as he emerged as a contender for a White House job and yet, it appears, the president and his team either pressed on without delving deeper into the matter or - perhaps more concerning - allowed the former general to come on board in spite of everything they may have known.
Such actions border on gross negligence.
The verdict on Trump so far
Follow @awzurcher on Twitter
The Republican chairman of the oversight committee, Jason Chaffetz, said Mr Flynn did not report payments for the 2015 Russia trip on his top-level security clearance form.
"I see no data to support the notion that General Flynn complied with the law," said Mr Chaffetz.
Mr Flynn received more than $33,000 (Â£25,700) from Russian broadcaster RT for giving a speech at its Moscow gala. He was seated at a table next to the Russian president.
Mr Flynn did not initially disclose payments received by foreign governments when filing financial disclosure forms related to his White House security clearance.
He filed an amended form in March, revealing three payments from the Russian government.
He also received more than $500,000 from Turkey for lobbying he undertook on their behalf in Washington after leaving the Defense Intelligence Agency in August 2014, and before joining the Trump administration.
Mr Flynn wants immunity to testify before Congress on alleged Russian election meddling, his lawyer has said.
"As a former military officer, you simply cannot take money from Russia, Turkey or anybody else," Mr Chaffetz said.
"And it appears as if he did take that money. It was inappropriate.
"And there are repercussions for the violation of law."

Four teenagers have been arrested in north London on suspicion of being involved in acid attacks.

They were detained on the Andover Estate in Islington in the early hours of the morning having been tracked by a police helicopter.
Police said they had dumped a stolen moped and other items before entering an address where they were arrested.
Officers said they were not detained in connection with a specific incident.
The number of attacks involving corrosive fluids has risen sharply in the capital in recent years.
There were 454 such crimes last year compared to 261 in 2015.
The four teenagers were "not detained on the basis of information connecting them to a specific acid attack", officers said.


A 1936 Aston Martin which once belonged to Welsh racer Dudley Folland, who remodelled and placed a Welsh dragon on it, is to be auctioned for about £1.6m.

He bought the car after World War Two and adapted the bodywork to resemble a successful early Ferrari.
Carmarthenshire-born amateur racer Mr Folland made the change after losing to a Ferrari in a 12-hour race in Paris and a 24-hour event in Spa.
The auction for the Aston "Red Dragon" is taking place on Saturday.
John Polson, Bonhams motoring specialist, said: "Folland chose 'Red Dragon' because it was the most competitive British built car available in the early years after the war."


An Iraqi photographer is offering the world an alternative view of his troubled country with a community project documenting the daily lives of ordinary people.

Shots of traditional cuisine, a dressmaker in an Irbil refugee camp and young men fishing on the Euphrates River are all images taken on mobiles phones by people around the country and contributed to his project Everyday Iraq.
Ahmad Mousa, 25, says: "Many people around the world who don't know much about Iraq hear the name and they think of it as a war zone because of what they see and read in the news."
He says on his Facebook page that he wanted to expose people to a more human side of his country. "I wanted to share the everyday life scenes with everyone, document it and put it there in history."
He asks contributors to take pictures on their mobile phones and to post them to a public Instagram account.
Iraq became a battleground for competing forces after the US-led invasion ousted President Saddam Hussein in 2003.

Olympic silver medallist Mark Cavendish will make his return to road racing in the Scottish stage of the Tour of Britain from Glasgow to Castle Douglas.

He is one of a number of elite riders confirmed to be taking part in the event next month.
The opening stage of the Tour of Britain runs through Scotland on 4 September this year.
Cavendish will be joined by sprinter AndrÃ© Greipel and former World Hour Record holder Rohan Dennis.
The Isle of Man rider, who has 30 stage victories in the Tour de France, won his first Olympic medal on Tuesday taking silver in the Omnium track event.
The Tour of Britain will be his first race after the Olympics.
Race director Mick Bennett said: "In Mark Cavendish and AndrÃ© Greipel we have two of the world's top sprinters, who are both already multiple Tour of Britain stage winners.
"We are delighted that BMC Racing Team will be bringing two outstanding time trialists in Rohan Dennis and Taylor Phinney to the race.
"This is the first of several exciting rider announcements that fans can look forward to and will build excitement for what will be another world-class edition of the Tour of Britain."

Ex-jockey Brian Fletcher, who won the Grand National three times, including twice on Red Rum, has died aged 69.

Fletcher's first Grand National success came when he steered Red Alligator to victory in 1968, a year after finishing third at Aintree on the same horse.
In 1973, he won the famous race on Red Rum, repeating the feat in 1974.
Red Rum became the most successful horse to run in the National, winning for a third time with Tommy Stack in 1977, the year Fletcher retired.
Fletcher also won the Scottish National in 1974, and finished as runner-up to Josh Gifford in the jockeys' title race.
Former champion jockey Peter Scudamore said Fletcher was an "unsung hero", without whom "National Hunt racing wouldn't be where it is today".
He added: "To win the Grand National three times is an incredible achievement. It's just a shame that after he finished in racing you didn't hear a lot about him."


Parents could be fined for leaving cars running outside schools in Sheffield to try to cut down on toxic fumes.

City councillors have started gathering views on the idea following guidance issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
NICE and Public Health England said "no idling" zones should be set up outside schools to help improve air quality.
The consultation also asks if other locations should be considered, including care homes and hospitals.
A similar ban outside schools has already been introduced in London where Westminster Council hands out Â£80 fines to "car idlers".
More on this and other local stories from across Yorkshire
Jack Scott, Sheffield City Council's cabinet member for transport, said polluted air was a "major public health hazard".
He added: "There's no reason for drivers to leave engines idling at any time, but especially near schools, care homes and hospitals."
To introduce fines the council would have to establish no idling zones using a local by-law.
Becky Webb, head teacher at Tinsley Meadows school in Sheffield, welcomed the consultation.
She said: "Air quality remains a major issue for many schools in the country and idling cars are a big part of the problem.
"I hope lots of parents and schools across the city let their views be known."
The consultation in Sheffield closes on 31 August.


A 14-year-old Indian girl has died and her mother was seriously injured when they were allegedly thrown off a bus by the staff who tried to molest them.

Three men, including the bus conductor and his assistant, have been arrested.
The girl was travelling in Punjab's Moga district along with her mother and younger brother. The bus had a few passengers at the time of the assault.
The crime is reminiscent of the December 2012 gang rape where a student was assaulted on a bus in Delhi.
The 23-year-old died from injuries sustained during the attack. The crime shocked India and raised a debate over the treatment of women in the country.
In the latest incident, the girl's family had boarded the bus from their village to visit a gurudwara (Sikh temple) on Wednesday evening, reports NDTV.
"They kept abusing us. No one helped. They first pushed my daughter off the bus, then me," the channel quoted the mother, who has been admitted to hospital, as saying.
Police said they had seized the bus and were investigating the case.


Measles is spreading across Europe wherever immunisation coverage has dropped, the World Health Organization is warning.

The largest outbreaks are being seen in Italy and Romania.
In the first month of this year, Italy reported more than 200 cases. Romania has reported more than 3,400 cases and 17 deaths since January 2016.
Measles is highly contagious. Travel patterns mean no person or country is beyond its reach, says the WHO.
For good protection, it's recommended that at least 95% of the population is vaccinated against the disease.
But many countries are struggling to achieve that.
Most of the measles cases have been found in countries where immunisation has dipped below this threshold and the infection is endemic  - France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine.
Preliminary information for February suggests that the number of new infections is rising sharply, says the WHO.
WHO regional director for Europe Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab said: "I urge all endemic countries to take urgent measures to stop transmission of measles within their borders, and all countries that have already achieved this to keep up their guard and sustain high immunisation coverage."
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control says that between 1 February 2016 and 31 January 2017 the UK reported 575 cases of measles.
The MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine is available on the NHS for babies and pre-school children.
Robb Butler, of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, says there are a number of reasons why vaccination coverage has waned in some regions.
"In some countries, like the Ukraine, there have been supply and procurement issues."
Then there's vaccine hesitancy. Some people are fearful of vaccination, while others are complacent or find it an inconvenience, he says.
In France, for example, people need to make an appointment with their doctor to get a prescription, go to the pharmacy to collect the vaccine and then rebook with their doctor to have the jab administered.
"We need to get to the point where we appreciate that people have busy lives and competing priorities."
Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at Public Health England, said: "England's uptake of MMR vaccine by five years of age has reached the WHO's target of 95%.
"In the last year, the measles cases confirmed in England have mainly been in older adolescents and young adults with many linked to music festivals and other large public events. Individuals of any age who have not received two doses of the MMR vaccine, or those who are unsure, should speak to their GP - it's never too late to have the vaccine and measles can still be serious in adults. We are continuing to invest in programmes which encourage uptake of the vaccine to ultimately consign measles to the history books."


Japanese car manufacturer Toyota has added 650,000 cars - all in Japan - to the recall it issued last year over a defect in passenger airbags.

That takes the number of cars recalled over the issue to 2.79 million.
The affected vehicles have a defective part which "could cause the airbag inflator to rupture and deploy the airbag abnormally in a crash".
Toyota, the world's biggest carmaker, said it had received one report of a seat cover burn due to the issue.
It added that it was also modifying the remedy that it was using to address the issue.
Toyota said that it had so far been replacing the part in the affected vehicles based on the serial number provided by the parts maker, Takata Corp.
However, it added, that the serial number in some of the cases was incomplete and had led to those cars not being serviced, despite receiving the initial recall notice.
Toyota said it would now replace the inflator in "all involved vehicles", irrespective of the serial numbers.
As a result, it said, it was re-notifying 350,000 owners globally to bring their cars back for servicing.
"For vehicles which were inspected and did not receive a replacement inflator, we will re-notify the owners and replace the inflator with a new one," the firm said in a statement.
Another 1.24 million owners - who had received the initial recall notice but did not bring their vehicles in - are also being sent a fresh notice.
The vehicle models affected by the issues include Corolla, Camry Yaris and Vios.


Almost 800 people have been discharged from bankruptcy after a one-year term in the Republic of Ireland, benefitting from a recent relaxation of the rules.

The Irish government amended the law in January, cutting the duration of bankruptcy from three years to one.
Prior to 2013, the Republic of Ireland had an even more onerous regime, in which bankruptcy lasted for 12 years.
The system has been extensively reformed in the last few years, in order to reduce delays and costs.
The changes came in response to some of the problems thrown up by the Irish banking crisis and property crash.
Many people were saddled with huge debts and mortgages they could not pay.
Because of the tough 12-year regime, several Irish people, including some high-profile property developers, opted to declare themselves bankrupt in the UK, where they could be released from the restrictions in 12 months.
The process was referred to as "bankruptcy tourism" and led to calls for reform.
On Friday, 793 people who were made bankrupt on or prior to 29 July 2015 were released from the process, according to the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI).
The government-backed organisation was set up in 2013 to help tackle personal debt problems.
Its director, Lorcan O'Connor, said: "As of today, almost 800 former bankrupts can have a fresh start without the burden of unsustainable debt."
He also welcomed a new state-funded scheme that enables borrowers with mortgage arrears to access advice from a personal insolvency practitioner.
The ISI said the aim of the scheme is to "find a sustainable solution that keeps a person in their home, where possible".
Mr O'Connor said it "should ensure that anyone in difficulty can now get the help they need".

A former racing car champion has become the first woman to cross central Australia in a single-cylinder vehicle.

Joy Rainey, 61, from Evesham, Worcestershire, completed the challenge in Darwin at 12:30 Australian Central Standard Time.
Ms Rainey and her 110-year-old Oldsmobile covered more than 2,500 miles, taking 21 days.
She, along with 48 other drivers and their veteran cars, started from the Motor Museum of Australia in Adelaide.
The 1904 car has tiller steering, two gears and a top speed of 28mph (45km/h).
After crossing the finishing line, Ms Rainey said: "The Oldsmobile arrived in Darwin under her own steam, intact and sounding perfect as always.
"She is a fabulous 110-year-old horseless carriage and I am proud to be her owner."
Ms Rainey, who is of restricted growth, became the only woman to have driven across the US - from the west coast to the east coast - in a single-cylinder car.
The daughter of motor racing champion Murray Rainey, Ms Rainey has a background of karting and hill-climbing.
During the 1970s she held the ladies' outright record at many hill-climb venues in the UK.


There's a growing chorus of complaints that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is dodging tough questions from reporters during the early days of her presidential campaign.

It's a criticism that conservative commentators and political operatives largely started but is increasingly being picked up by mainstream journalists.
News outlets disagree over exactly how many questions Mrs Clinton has answered since she launched her presidential bid on 12 April, but it's definitely small. According to the National Journal and Politico, the number is eight. ABC says nine. NPR puts the tally at 13, and helpfully includes links to audio and video.
Among the not-so-hard-hitting interrogatories the former secretary of state has answered:
- Variations on how she likes Iowa. Answer: "It's fabulous."
- Is Iowa important? Yes.
- Why are you running for president? "To be the champion of Americans and their families."
Not asked was what kind of tree she would be, if she liked puppies or who she thinks will win the Stanley Cup.
There were a handful of more challenging queries, on issues such as international trade, allegations of ethical improprieties from the book Clinton Cash and - a telling sign of journalistic frustration - whether she thinks her campaign is too staged. Mrs Clinton quickly brushed them off.
Last week the New York Times launched what it says will be a regular feature on its website, posting questions they would ask Mrs Clinton if they could. The first was on immigration.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party is trying to get in on the game, with its own list of proposed questions on donations to the Clinton Foundation, the appropriateness of having a private email server while in public office, campaign finance and even the immigration status of her grandparents.
There also have been a spate of stories on how many questions others have answered over the course of Mrs Clinton's presidential run. NBC News points out that Bill Clinton has had three television interviews and fielded at least 30 questions.
Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina boasts that she has answered 322 questions since her campaign launched on 4 May.
"If I was Hillary Clinton, I would take two questions after every event," tweets the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza. "Why let the storyline linger?"
Why? Mrs Clinton has decided not to answer questions for the simple reason that she doesn't have to. And all the grousing from the media - whose public approval ratings rank even lower than those of politicians - likely isn't going to change that.
Mrs Clinton almost certainly won't face a serious challenger for the Democratic nomination, and so she is, in effect, already running a general election campaign. And like most general election campaigns, the events are carefully scripted and the interaction with the public is meticulously controlled in order to avoid any potentially damaging missteps.
Those town hall forums? Packed with supporters. The kitchen table conversations? Staged photo ops. If an errant challenging question or moment of candour slips through, it represents a failure on the part of the candidate's advance team.
Ms Fiorina and the rest of the current crop of Republican presidential hopefuls don't have that luxury, however. They're competing for attention and political oxygen in a crowded field, where it's difficult to turn down the free media hits that accompany unscripted interviews and face-to-face voter interaction.
Those interviews aren't without risk, however - as former Florida Governor Jeb Bush proved earlier this week, when he stepped into controversy after mishandling a question about the Iraq War.
"Hillary take note," tweets the Atlantic's David Frum. "Jeb Bush getting hammered today for recklessly taking tough questions from the media and answering them honestly."
Unlike Mrs Clinton, Republican candidates are going to have to work against fierce opposition to garner supporters in the early voting states, where residents pride themselves on being able to have meaningful interactions with the candidates.
There's the old joke about the New Hampshire resident who says he won't make up his mind until he's met every candidate at least three times.
New Hampshire and Iowa voters will certainly get to meet Mrs Clinton over the coming months. And campaign spokesperson Jesse Ferguson points out that Mrs Clinton is answering their questions - which are the ones that count.
"If a candidate answers hours of questions from real people on camera but they didn't come from press, did they happen?" he tweets sardonically.
But unless something changes, those interactions are all going to be in a much more comfortable environment than Republican candidates could hope for.
And reporters are largely going to have to keep their questions to themselves.

A Taser fired by a police officer was the most likely cause of a fire which engulfed and killed a man in Plymouth, an inquest jury has decided.

Andrew Pimlott, 32, had poured petrol over himself and was holding a lit match when he was hit in the back garden of his parents' house.
The jury said in a narrative verdict that it could not be sure whether he started the fire by striking the match.
It said the officer had acted in line with his training before firing.
Mr Pimlott died a few days later after the fire in April 2013.
PC Peter Hodgkinson, who had never deployed a Taser operationally since completing training on the weapon in 2012, told the inquest he thought Mr Pimlott was going to set himself alight.
He and another officer had gone to the house after a 999 call from Mr Pimlott's father, Kelvin, reporting his son was breaching a restraining order imposed by magistrates to stay away from the house.
An expert witness told the inquest PC Hodgkinson followed national policing guidelines on using the Taser.
Forensic scientist Stephen Andrews told the jury it was his opinion as an experienced fire investigator that it was the Taser that ignited the petrol-soaked Mr Pimlott and not a lit match.
Officers were warned of the potential dangers of firing a Taser in the presence of flammable liquids, instructor PC Jonathan Reed told the inquest.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) cleared PC Hodgkinson of misconduct in March, and last October prosecutors rejected a criminal prosecution for gross negligence manslaughter and misconduct.
Ali Cloak, the legal representative of Mr Pimlott's family, said after inquest: "The family are concerned that a Taser was used in circumstances where training in Tasers makes it clear that with a substance you can ignite with a match you should expect a Taser to have the same effect.
"And also that the officers did not attempt to try to resolve the situation by communicating with Andrew instead.
"While Andrew was in some ways a troubled young man, he was a loving, son, brother and uncle who will be very much missed by his family."
Ch Supt Jim Nye of Devon and Cornwall Police said after the inquest: "Any officer using Taser is subject to extensive training, and we should not under estimate the challenging circumstances police officers face in their line of duty.
"Difficult decisions sometimes need to be made in highly pressured situations.
"In this case, and whenever any officer uses a Taser, it is in line with strict national training and guidance.
"The circumstances of this case mean it is more important than ever to continue to support and train our officers to use Taser appropriately and safely in line with national guidance."
Home Office figures show one in 10 officers is now armed with a Taser and Tasers were deployed more than 10,000  times in England and Wales in 2013.
Since 2004, there have also been two cases where people with epilepsy have been Tasered - one of then was already having a seizure, and one of them began having one after being struck.


The case of a notorious criminal shot dead in his home has been referred back to Essex Police by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

John "Goldfinger" Palmer, who allegedly amassed a huge fortune in a time-share scam, was treated for a cardiac arrest on 24 June at his home in South Weald.
But a post-mortem examination on 30 June revealed the 65-year-old convicted conman had been shot in the chest.
Essex Police had initially referred the case to the IPCC.
An IPCC spokesman said: "Following an assessment of the evidence provided, it has been recommended that the matter should be investigated locally by the police force.
"This decision is based on the fact that there was no evidence of immediate police contact with Mr Palmer before his death, or identifiable conduct issues from the officers who attended the scene that would require the ongoing involvement of the IPCC.
"If any conduct issues are identified in the course of the local investigation, we would expect Essex Police to re-refer these for further assessment, which is in line  with the usual process."


Files on 23 people and organisations involved in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster have been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

An inquests jury concluded in April the 96 victims of the FA Cup semi-final tragedy were unlawfully killed.
The jury found the match commander, Ch Supt David Duckenfield, responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence.
Prosecutors will now decide whether to bring criminal charges against the unnamed 23.
Margaret Aspinall, whose son James died in the disaster, described it as a "momentous" day.
She said for years "we had no-one" and now "[we are being told] there is potentially 23."
Wendy Hamilton, whose husband Roy died in the disaster, said: "We have waited a long time to get to this.
"We need it to be hurried up. We need them to move on with it more quickly than they are."
Law firm Broudie Jackson Canter, which represents 20 of the Hillsborough families, said its clients were "relieved" the files had been passed to the CPS.
Director Elkan Abrahamson said: "Given that the CPS has been working with the police and the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) for many years, we believe decisions should now be taken without further delay.
"We will continue to scrutinise the process and any decisions."
The announcement follows the conclusion of two criminal investigations - ordered in 2012 following the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel report  - by Operation Resolve and the IPCC.
Operation Resolve examined events up to and including the day of the disaster, including the police planning and preparation, ground design and the emergency response.
The IPCC focused on the conduct of both South Yorkshire Police and West Midlands Police and allegations of a cover-up in the days and weeks that followed the tragedy.
Fifteen of the 23 suspects relate to Operation Resolve and eight to the IPCC investigation, but names of have not been made public.
Some of those previously named as suspects have died and cannot therefore be prosecuted.
More than 170 allegations of police misconduct continue to be investigated by both the IPCC and Operation Resolve.
The CPS will also consider "any other relevant offences" on the evidence presented by both investigation teams, the IPCC said.
Assistant Commissioner Robert Beckley, officer in overall command of Operation Resolve, said the "extensive file" submitted contained "over 35 million words" and reflected "four years of intense work from my teams."
Families of those who died in the tragedy at Sheffield have campaigned for more than 25 years to have individuals or public bodies held to account.
Giving evidence at the Hillsborough inquests, former South Yorkshire Ch Supt Duckenfield accepted his failure to close a tunnel was the "direct cause of the deaths of 96 people".
In a recent book, Sir Norman Bettison revealed he was being treated as a suspect by the IPCC in mid-2015.
Sir Norman, who was part of a police team that gathered Hillsborough evidence for use at a public inquiry, was Chief Constable of Merseyside Police from 1998 to 2004 and chief constable of the West Yorkshire force until he resigned in 2012.
At the inquests, he said he was not part of a "black propaganda unit" set up to blame Liverpool fans.
It is not known whether his name has been put forward for a charging decision.
The IPCC probe is the biggest criminal investigation into alleged police misconduct ever conducted in England and Wales.
It is understood the CPS may take up to six months to consider all the evidence.
Analysis by Lindsey Prosser, BBC North West Tonight
For years, the friends and families of the 96 Hillsborough victims have campaigned for individuals and corporate organisations to be held accountable.
In 1990, Lord Justice Taylor's report following the public inquiry into the disaster stated that "a failure of police control" was the main cause.
But the Director of Public Prosecutions in England and Wales decided there was no justification to bring any prosecutions.
A year later, after accidental death verdicts were recorded, the families vowed to campaign for fresh inquests.
In 1997, after reviewing fresh evidence, Lord Justice Stuart-Smith said there was no such justification for a new inquiry.
But the families' quest for justice never ceased and was boosted in 2009 when the government agreed that all evidence relating to Hillsborough must be disclosed by all organisations involved.
The results were made public by the Hillsborough Independent Panel (HIP) in 2012, paving the way for the fresh inquests in the spring of 2014.
Last year the inquest jury concluded the 96 fans had been unlawfully killed and exonerated fans of any blame.
The HIP report also led to the Operation Resolve and IPCC investigations.

US sitcom The Big Bang Theory has paid tribute to cast member Carol Ann Susi, who died earlier this week from cancer.

The actress provided the voice of Howard Wolowitz's unseen overbearing mother on the show.
The episode ended with a message honouring Susi, saying: "Every time you spoke, we laughed. You're in our hearts forever."
Producers have yet to make a decision on how to proceed with Susi's character for the rest of the current series.
Other cast members paid tribute to the actress after she died on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Kaley Cuoco Sweeting, who plays Penny in the hit sitcom, posted a picture of Susi on her Facebook page adding: "Rest in peace hilarious, adorable, sweet Carol Ann Susi. You will forever be part of the Big Bang Theory family."
Kunal Nayyar, Howard's best friend Raj, added: "My heart is broken. I will miss your smile. Your spirit is forever with us."

Five Chinese players have earned two-year cards to compete on the main snooker tour from the 2016-17 season.

Yan Bingtao, 16, could not take up his card last year because of visa issues, while Zhao Xintong, 19, was runner-up in the 2015 World Amateur Championship.
Cao Yupeng, 25, and Chen Zhe, 23, and Fang Xiongman, 23, all came though six rounds of matches in Q School.
Last month, World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said half of the top 16 in the world will be from China one day.
WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson said: "Chinese players continue to be a strong force in snooker and this is further evidence of the rising young talent fighting for a place on the World Snooker tour."
Earlier this month, Ding Junhui became the first Chinese player to play in the World Championship final at the Crucible, losing 18-14 to Mark Selby. The tournament was watched by a television audience of 210 million in China.
The only Englishman to earn a tour card for next season from the Q School's first event one was 23-year-old Christopher Keogan from Doncaster.
England's John Astley, 27, Welshman David John, 31, Malta's Alex Borg, 46, and 28-year-old Cypriot Michael Georgiou all progressed through Q School's second event.
Englishmen Craig Steadman, 31, Jamie Barrett, 32 and Adam Duffy, 28, and Wales' 33-year-old Ian Preece all earned two-year tour cards through the Q School order of merit.


The UK's first national sperm bank has stopped recruiting donors less than two years after its launch, it has emerged.

The National Sperm Bank said it was unable to fund further donor recruitment, having successfully only taken on seven men.
It was set up in October 2014 with a government grant to tackle the shortage of donors, particularly at NHS clinics.
The Department of Health say the NSB's demise will not affect people's access to safe sperm donation services.
A shortage of donors often drives patients overseas or to unregistered services.
Based in Birmingham, the NSB received a one-off £77,000 grant from the Department of Health to get up and running. The aim was for the bank to be financially self-sufficient within one year.
It was a joint project run by the charity the National Gamete Donation Trust and Birmingham Fertility Centre, a unit at Birmingham Women's Hospital.
In total, eight sperm donors were recruited since it launched, with one later dropping out.
But with the full donor process taking up to 18 months, the bank was unable to generate income in the second year.
Charles Lister, chair of the National Gamete Donation Trust said: "One of the lessons learned from running the NSB is that the level of ongoing investment required for successful donor recruitment is beyond the resources of a small charity like the NGDT."
Laura Spoelstra, who left her role as chief executive of the NGDT, earlier this year and believes more could have been done to put the NSB on a firmer financial footing.
She said: "Once you have a donor at least 70% along the process, you have income. It's a business model. It required a business way of thinking. Once you know you've got income in the pipeline, you can use that to offset costs."
Demand for sperm donations in the UK has steadily grown and hundreds of new donors, who are compensated £35 per clinic visit, are registered each year.
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority estimate that 2,000 children are born every year in the UK using donated eggs, sperm or embryos. The most recent data from 2014, shows 85 licensed UK clinics - both private and NHS - performing sperm donor insemination.
But the majority of licensed clinics are based in London and the south east of England and treatment can be expensive. The cost of donor sperm from the UK's largest private sperm bank, the London Sperm Bank, is currently £950. The National Sperm Bank was proposing to charge £300 per insemination.
Prof Allan Pacey, a spokesman for the British Fertility Society, believes there is still a need for a national sperm bank.
"It doesn't have to be bricks and mortar, it could be a network," he said.
"We need better coordination and this just highlights how expensive it's going to be."
Mr Lister said the NSB had demonstrated that with targeted information, "more men are willing to become donors and give the precious gift of life".
He said the NGDT would continue to focus on raising awareness about the need for more UK donors.
Following a change in the law, all children conceived as the result of sperm donation on or after 1 April 2005, have the right to know the identity of their father when they turn 18. But a donor is not the legal parent and is not named on a birth certificate.
The first donations from the NSB will be released shortly by Birmingham Women's Fertility Centre to clinics across the UK.
The centre has its own sperm bank, which will continue recruiting donors.
A spokeswoman for the centre said: "We fully understand and support the decision made by NGDT."
In a statement, the Department of Health said: "We gave a one-off start-up grant to help set up the National Sperm Bank, and while the number of donations have not been sufficient to support it continuing to seek new donors, this will have no impact on people being able to access safe egg and sperm donation services."


England manager Roy Hodgson was happy with his side's display in their friendly against Sweden on Wednesday, despite a

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored all four Sweden goals in Stockholm to steal the headlines from England's six debutants.
"I thought it was a good performance," Hodgson told BBC Sport. "For large periods I can be more than satisfied.
"Many players who got a chance came out with great credit. For long periods we were quite dominant and in control."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the first player to score a hat-trick against England since Marco van Basten in June 1988
England boss Hodgson, who handed skipper Steven Gerrard his 100th cap, arrived at the new 50,000-seat Friends Arena having lost just one of his first 11 games in charge.
They had won their previous two matches against Sweden, but were without a victory in Stockholm since 1937.
Although Erik Hamren's side took the lead when Ibrahimovic fired home, Danny Welbeck equalised and Steven Caulker made it 2-1.
Ibrahimovic levelled with a fierce volley, lashed a free-kick past Joe Hart and sealed the result with an incredible overhead kick.
"Obviously it was disappointing to concede three goals in the last 15 minutes when we were looking so good at 2-1," said Hodgson.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"The free-kick was from a very, very long way out, and was a free-kick that on many occasions Joe Hart would stop.
"I wasn't expecting Sweden to score at any minute. Their opportunities were, really, quite limited."
Hodgson handed first caps to Caulker, Leon Osman and Raheem Sterling from the start, while Ryan Shawcross, Carl Jenkinson and Wilfried Zaha came on as substitutes in the second half.
Jack Wilshere came off the bench to make his first international appearance since June 2011 following ankle and knee injuries.
"I took the risk to give debutants a chance - obviously that will open things up - and I was hoping we'd hold out," Hodgson added.
"I thought our passing and movement was good and when we took the 2-1 lead it was a correct assessment of what we had seen on the field. Ibrahimovic being kept on cost us a result.
"I thought the debutants were good, all of them did fine and I am certainly a wiser man than [I was] before this game, going into 2013.
"We were undone by some individual brilliance and maybe a bit of inexperience."


Climbing guide and pioneer Mick Tighe has won this year's  Scottish Award for Excellence in Mountain Culture.

He was nominated because of his work in mountain rescue and training climbers, and for setting up the Scottish Mountaineering Heritage Collection.
Mr Tighe will be presented with the accolade at the Fort William Mountain Festival next month.
The award was set up to recognise those who have dedicated their lives to working in Scotland's mountains.


Scotland's chief medical officer has said children aged six months to five years should be taking daily vitamin D drops.

Sir Harry Burns has also warned that pregnant women should be taking the vitamin to protect against bone disease and other illnesses.
He has written to health professionals about the risk of vitamin D deficiency.
The letter said all pregnant and breastfeeding women should take a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms.
People aged 65 and over and people who are not exposed to much sun should also take a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms.
Vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth and a lack of the vitamin has also been linked by some studies to high rates of multiple sclerosis in Scotland.
The lack of sunshine and a diet low in oily fish are thought to be the main factors in Scots having a low level of the vitamin.
Sir Harry said the daily supplement for young children would help them meet the requirement of 7 to 8.5 micrograms of vitamin D per day.
The chief medical officer's advice said babies who are being fed by infant formula will not need vitamin drops until they are receiving less than 500ml of formula a day, as these products are fortified with vitamin D.
Sir Harry said: "My colleagues and I are writing a joint letter to health professionals to increase awareness of this important issue, highlighting the fact there are steps that people who may be at risk of vitamin D deficiency, such as pregnant women, infants and young children, can take to avoid low levels.
"This is a restatement of advice I sent to health professionals in Scotland last year and contains important information about prescribing and recommending vitamin D supplements to those groups of the population at risk of vitamin D deficiency.
"Health professionals can make can make a significant difference to people's health by making those at risk aware of how important it is to make sure they get enough vitamin D, and how they can get access to these important daily supplements."


The idea of a "virtual doctor" project might sound rather futuristic.

But the inspiration for this scheme to improve health services in Zambia began in very low-tech and unhappy circumstances.
Huw Jones, working in Zambia as a safari guide, was driving a Land Rover along a road in a remote part of the country.
He saw a trail of blood in the road, and his first reaction was that it might have come from an animal killed by a lion.
But he came across a couple on a bike - the man riding and the woman carried on the handlebars.
She was pregnant and bleeding heavily and they had been cycling for hours with the aim of reaching the nearest hospital, almost 60 miles away.
The woman was in a great deal of pain and her husband seemed to be in a state of shock, says Mr Jones.
"In the heat and that terrain, they were desperate," he says.
Mr Jones stopped to pick them up and drive them.
But the woman was already weak and died in the back of the Land Rover before they could reach anyone who could give them medical help.
"It affected me quite deeply. I wondered if I could do anything," says Mr Jones.
It was an awful example of the lack of medical provision for rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa - and, he says, he has come across too many deaths that could have been avoided with better care.
Zambia has about 1,600 doctors for a population of 14 million, and two-thirds of these are working in towns and cities, while most of the country's population is in the countryside.
It means access to good quality health care is often difficult if not impossible.
When Mr Jones returned to the UK, he began to develop a project to fill some of these gaps.
He set up the Virtual Doctors charity, based in Brighton, which uses the expertise of volunteer doctors in the UK to provide direct and individual support for health workers in Zambia.
For many communities, it is not practical to expect sick and frail people to walk or cycle for hours to hospital.
So families depend on rural health centres, which have health workers but no qualified doctors.
The virtual doctors project means that these isolated health centres can be supported by doctors thousands of miles away.
Health workers and clinical officers on the ground use an app on a smartphone or tablet computer to take notes on a patient's symptoms and photographs.
This information is sent to a volunteer doctor in the UK who helps with a diagnosis and recommends treatment.
More stories from the BBC's Global education series looking at education from an international perspective and how to get in touch
Cases are directed towards doctors with a relevant specialism, whether it is skin diseases or HIV and Aids-related problems.
The doctor in the UK will have a list of the drugs and equipment kept in the health centre in Zambia and can suggest treatment or further tests based on what is practical and available.
"For instance, there's no point calling for an MRI scan," says Mr Jones.
Virtual Doctors is now supporting 19 rural health centres, which typically deal with problems such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/Aids and pregnancy-related conditions.
There are also two district hospitals taking part in the project.
Mr Jones says that even where there are facilities such as X-ray machines, there can be a shortage of radiologists to look at the evidence.
The virtual doctors in the UK have been able to help with chest X-rays of patients in Zambia, he says.
These local health centres have catchment areas of tens of thousands of people, and hospitals provide services for hundreds of thousands. And Mr Jones says the virtual doctors are now supporting health services for almost a million people.
The charity wants to expand further, with discussions in progress about working with other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania and Uganda.
Mobile-phone networks are improving, and that could mean moving to more direct, real-time ways of communicating, such as video conferencing.
But Mr Jones says the emphasis must be on a system that is robust, simple, reliable and can be depended upon to work.
The app used to connect the virtual doctors was itself made by volunteer coders and developers from the Landmark Information Group in Exeter, working in their spare time.
Former Education Secretary Charles Clarke, who is supporting the project, describes it as a "brilliant initiative that brings together voluntary expertise and desperate need".
The Virtual Doctor system has been backed by the Zambian government.
Muyeba Chikonde, Zambia's high commissioner in the UK, said he was very pleased at the assistance being provided.
He said it was in the spirit of "ubuntu" - a word used in southern Africa to suggest a philosophy of sharing and showing "humanity towards others".


A California university has issued advice aimed at protecting undocumented students, as the Trump administration ramps up deportations.

Students at California State University have been urged to contact university police immediately if they are approached by immigration officials.
Several US universities are trying to resist potential student deportations - some using the term "sanctuary campus".
Mr Trump has announced tougher enforcement of immigration rules.
Former President Barack Obama focused on deporting only immigrants convicted of serious crimes, those considered threats to national security or those who had arrived recently.
Mr Trump's administration issued memos this week expanding the list of undocumented immigrants prioritised for "expedited removal".
Supporters say enforcing the law discourages further illegal immigration, which they say is too high and threatens security.
What is life like in sanctuary cities since Trump came to power?
Is arrest of a 'dreamer' a sign of things to come?
Has Trump started a new deportation drive?
Wednesday's memorandum from CSU Chancellor Timothy White said the university would "continue to make every lawful effort to provide a safe and welcoming campus environment for all of our students", which, it says, include some who lack immigration documentation.
There has been continued concern about 750,000 undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US illegally as children, known as Dreamers.
Their deportation proceedings were deferred under the Obama administration programme known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca).
Mr Trump's presidential campaign website said he planned to "immediately terminate" the programme.
But since coming into office he has said he finds the subject "very, very tough" and intends to show "great heart" in dealing with what he described as, in many cases, "incredible kids".
The Department for Homeland Security made it clear on Tuesday that the new memos on enforcement do not affect Daca, but gave no detail on the programme's future.
Mr White's memo said some undocumented students at CSU do not even have Daca status.
He stressed the university would not help law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws.
"Our university police departments will not honour immigration hold requests, and our university police will not contact, detain, question, or arrest individuals solely on the basis of being - or suspected of being - a person who lacks documentation," he wrote.
The CSU memo comes as students at Florida State University voted to request their university declare itself a "sanctuary campus".
Dozens of universities have come under pressure from students to follow the model of "sanctuary cities" - jurisdictions which have enacted policies protecting undocumented immigrants within their boundaries.
Officials in these designated areas, including local law enforcement, are not allowed to inquire about an individual's immigration status in the course of their duties.
Wesleyan University in Connecticut declared itself a sanctuary campus in November, saying it would "not voluntarily assist in any efforts by the federal government to deport our students, faculty or staff solely because of their citizenship status".
But others have steered clear of the term, arguing it has no clear definition.
Also on Wednesday, the lower house of the state legislature in the state of Georgia approved a measure that would cut off funding to colleges failing to comply with President Trump's immigration policy.
"Not to put too fine a point on it, there is no sanctuary from the law," Republican Rep Earl Ehrhart, who introduced the measure, was quoted by local media as saying.


Jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo has been named the winner of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.

Making the announcement in Oslo, the head of the Norwegian Nobel committee said Mr Liu was "the foremost symbol" of the human rights struggle in China.
Several countries including the US, France and Germany, called for his immediate release.
China said the award could damage ties with Norway, and summoned the country's ambassador in Beijing in protest.
Norwegian Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland admitted he knew the choice would be controversial.
He told local television before the announcement: "You'll understand when you hear the name."
Mr Jagland, reading the citation, said China's new status in the world "must entail increased responsibility".
"China is in breach of several international agreements to which it is a signatory, as well as of its own provisions concerning political rights."
By Martin PatienceBBC News, Beijing
In the weeks leading up to this announcement, Beijing was very strong in its statements. It said that Liu Xiaobo was not a suitable candidate. Beijing regards him as a criminal and said the award could damage relations between China and Norway.
Many Chinese people will see this as an attack by the West on what they stand for and certainly many nationalists will see this as an example of the West trying to demonise China.
The statement of the Nobel Peace Prize committee will not get a lot of traction with ordinary people. The authorities have very effectively given him no publicity whatsoever.
Mr Jagland said that, in practice, freedoms enshrined in China's constitution had "proved to be distinctly curtailed for China's citizens".
He said the choice of Mr Liu had become clear early in the selection process.
Mr Liu, 54, was a key leader in the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
Last year he received an 11-year sentence for "inciting subversion" after drafting Charter 08 - which called for multi-party democracy and respect for human rights in China.
The Nobel Foundation citation read: "Liu has consistently maintained that the sentence violates both China's own constitution and fundamental human rights."
It praised Mr Liu for his "long and non-violent struggle" and highlighted its belief in a "close connection between human rights and peace".
Ending the citation, Mr Jagland said: "The campaign to establish universal human rights in China is being waged by many Chinese, both in China itself and abroad.
"Through the severe punishment meted out to him, Liu has become the foremost symbol of this wide-ranging struggle for human rights in China."
Beijing quickly condemned the award, saying it could damage China-Norway relations.
Foreign ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said: "Liu Xiaobo is a criminal who violated Chinese law. It's a complete violation of the principles of the prize and an insult to the peace prize itself for the Nobel committee to award the prize to such a person."
Later Norway said its ambassador in Beijing had been summoned to the Chinese foreign ministry.
"They wanted to officially share their... disagreement and their protest," a Norwegian spokeswoman said.
"We emphasised that this is an independent committee and the need to continue good bilateral relations," she added.
Unlike other Nobel prizes, which are administered in Sweden, the peace prize is awarded in Oslo by a committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament.
Which countries have most Nobels?
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said it would be "negative for China's reputation in the world" if it chose to punish his country over the award.
Mr Liu's wife, Liu Xia, said she was "so excited" by the award.
She told AFP news agency: "I want to thank everyone for supporting Liu Xiaobo. I strongly ask that the Chinese government release Liu."
Mrs Liu said police had informed her they would take her to Mr Liu's prison in the north-eastern province of Liaoning on Saturday so she could give him the news.
The prize is worth 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.5m; Â£944,000) and will be awarded in Oslo on 10 December.
US President Barack Obama said Mr Liu had "has sacrificed his freedom for his beliefs" and called for his speedy release.
German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said China should free him so he could attend the ceremony.
France's Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner also welcomed the award and also called on China to release Mr Liu.
UN human rights commissioner Navi Pillay said the prize recognised a "very prominent human rights defender".
The London-based rights group Amnesty International said Mr Liu was a "worthy winner".
But Catherine Baber, Amnesty's deputy Asia-Pacific director, added: "This award can only make a real difference if it prompts more international pressure on China to release Liu, along with the numerous other prisoners of conscience languishing in Chinese jails."
No candidates are announced ahead of the peace prize but others mentioned in the media included Afghan women's rights activist Sima Samar, Russian human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina, former German chancellor Helmut Kohl and Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
The Nobel committee had to defend last year's controversial peace prize choice of US President Barack Obama.


A sports car once owned by the late British actress Diana Dors has sold for $3 million (Â£1.9m) at a California auction.

The 1949 Delahaye Roadster, which some have dubbed the most beautiful car in the world, was given to Dors when she was 17.
The sky blue car has been described by auctioneers as "extravagant and outrageous - a rolling sculpture".
Dors, who was seen as the British Marilyn Monroe, died in 1984 aged 52.
Born Diana Mary Fluck, Dors became known as a 1950s blonde sex symbol, but was also well-respected for her acting skills.
RM auctioneers said the car was curvaceous, sexy and flamboyant, just like its former owner.
It was expected to sell for up to $6m but went for $3m plus a buyer's premium of 10%.
The car is one of only 150 Roadsters made, and only one of 51 of its specific model - the 175S.
The company stopped production in 1951 as it found there was little demand for such extravagance during that post-war period.
When Dors first received the car, she did not even have a driving licence.
At 20, she became the youngest owner of a Rolls-Royce in the UK - a reflection of her success at an early age.
After she died, the car changed ownership several times and has in recent years been restored to its former condition.
In its catalogue listing, RM Auctions says the Roadster - which has a top speed of 70mph - can "easily claim to being the most extravagant and beautiful coachbulit car in existence".


An Irish policeman has welcomed his inclusion in the investigation of false allegations against garda whistleblowers.

The terms of reference for the Charleton Tribunal were agreed by the Irish government on Thursday.
It followed claims by Sgt Maurice McCabe that the Republic's penalty points system was fraudulent.
County Donegal based garda Keith Harrison said he hoped the inquiry would "establish the truth".
Sgt McCabe was investigated by the Republic's child and family agency (Tusla) following allegations of abuse, that were later found to be untrue.
Mr Harrison claims he was also the subject of untrue abuse accusations.
"After a long and difficult battle to have all my complaints investigated, I would like to acknowledge the publication today of the expanded terms of reference of the Tribunal of Inquiry that finally includes an investigation of the ill-treatment of my family and I.
"The inclusion of an investigation of the ill-treatment of other whistleblowers within An Garda Síochána (Irish police) is a welcome development.
"I trust the inquiry will establish the truth and bring about a change within senior management of An Garda Síochána," he said.
The tribunal will prioritise allegations against Sgt McCabe, with other high-profile whistleblowers such as Mr Harrison included in a separate module.
It is expected to issue an interim report within three months.


A new commuter train has been launched in Kenya's capital, Nairobi - the first of its kind since independence in 1963.

The train will run between the city centre and the suburb of Syokimau, where Kenya has built its first railway station in more than 80 years.
The service is intended to ease traffic congestion in Nairobi, one of the fastest-growing African cities with a population of about three million.
President Mwai Kibaki was the first commuter on the new train.
He travelled back to Nairobi along with his officials, while ordinary passengers were banned for security reasons.
The first paying customers are expected to take the return trip to Syokimau.
The BBC's Wanyama Chebusiri in Nairobi says the new service will be much faster then the existing dilapidated trains and will run on a separate track.
The 16.5-km (10-mile) ride from Syokimau, in the east, to Nairobi is expected to take 15 minutes, while a car journey during rush-hour could take up to two hours, our reporter says.
The new station at Syokimau is modern - it will issue passengers with electronic tickets to swipe at turnstiles and there are also large screens to give train times, he adds.
The journey is the cheapest way of getting to central Nairobi, costing about $2.50 (Â£1.50).
Mr Kibaki has inaugurated the service, and is expected to be the first passenger to take the ride.
The launch is part of the government's ambitious Vision 2030 initiative to improve much-neglected infrastructure over the next 18 years, our reporter says.
A Chinese company has just built Kenya's first eight-lane highway, linking Nairobi to the densely populated industrial town of Thika, about 40 km away.
It was built at a cost of about 28bn shillings ($330m; Â£200m).
Although the highway has not been officially launched, motorists are already using it.
The government says its next rail project will be to link Nairobi's city centre to the eastern residential area of Kayole.


The mother of a 14-year-old boy murdered by a man he met while internet gaming says she has "no doubt" his killer has contacted her twice online.

Breck Bednar was killed after being lured to the Essex home of Lewis Daynes, 20, who is now serving life.
Breck's mother Lorin LaFave said: "It's very distressing and I know it's him."
The Ministry of Justice said it had found no evidence of electronic communication in Daynes's cell but Essex Police are investigating.
More on this story and others from Essex
Breck, from Caterham in Surrey, was killed in 2014 after travelling to Daynes's home in Grays.
The trial heard there was sexual activity between the pair and Daynes then slashed his victim's throat.
Ms LaFave, who is from the United States, said she has received two online letters purporting to be from Daynes; one sent in November and the other this week in the run-up to a BBC Three television programme.
In his latest post, Daynes denied he was a "sinister internet paedophile" or a groomer and called the TV trailer "highly dramatic".
He also said police photographs of his home showed a "very clean tidy flat" in a "very nice residential street" and was the opposite of what was described.
"It would take too much time to address all the lies and spin," he wrote.
In his first letter, Daynes said he was responsible for Breck's death, "a boy of just 14," but accused the media and others of exploiting Breck's death to "suit their own agendas".
Daynes was sentenced to life with a minimum jail term of 25 years at Chelmsford Crown Court last year.
Ms LaFave said: "The first one came on Thanksgiving, with Daynes knowing I'm a family person and we would be having a big get-together.
"I had a lot of contact with him when he was gaming and I can tell the way he speaks and have no doubt it's him.
"If he hasn't done it directly, he's had someone do it on his behalf.
"We need someone higher in authority to help and find out where this was sent from."
Essex Police said it was investigating the two online postings.
A force spokesman said: "The police have been made aware of a second letter purporting to be from Lewis Daynes that has been posted on the internet.
"The police service is considering if any offences have been committed by the publication."
Murder Games: The Life and Death of Breck Bednar was broadcast on BBC Three on Tuesday, 26 January, 2016.


At least 80 people have died of heatstroke in the south Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Temperatures in the states have risen as high as 45C and customary April rains have been delayed.
State officials have said however, that the state was not suffering from a heatwave as there was no "abnormality" in temperature for this time of year.
Over 2,000 people are estimated to have died in a heatwave that swept the two states last year.
Disaster management officials told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi that the combined death toll from both states as of Thursday evening was over 80, and was likely to top 100 over the weekend.
State officials have advised people not to expose themselves to the sun between the hours of 12:00 and 16:00.
But weather officials said that temperatures needed to rise by at least 5C before a heatwave could be declared in the states.
"So far there are no such indications. The temperature here is the standard 40C to 42C.  The only change is that thundershowers that generally occur during this time of year have not materialised," said Narasimha Rao, director of the meteorological department in Hyderabad, capital of Telangana.


Luke Gale and Joel Monaghan both scored second-half hat-tricks as Super League leaders Castleford Tigers thumped strugglers Huddersfield Giants.

Ryan Hinchcliffe's early try put Giants ahead but Ben Roberts, Jake Webster and Mike McMeeken crossed in response to put Tigers 16-4 ahead at the break.
Gale and Adam Milner extended the lead before Ryan Brierley hit back.
Two more tries from Gale in a 24-point contribution and a Monaghan treble followed as Tigers dominated.
While Lee Gaskell added a further consolation try for Huddersfield in the second half, it did little more than add a semblance of respectability to the scoreline as they became the latest club to suffer a heavy loss at the Jungle.
Castleford have scored at least 43 points in each of their first four home games in Super League this season.
However, they were left to bemoan a series of handling errors after Hinchcliffe's try put Huddersfield ahead.
That was before Roberts scooped up a neat grubber kick by Gale to help put the hosts ahead after 21 minutes.
Huddersfield then saw their restart go out on the full, allowing Roberts the chance to quickly play provider for Webster as Tigers piled the points on.
Gale gave Daryl Powell's side the ideal start to the second half, crossing for the first of his tries after just 30 seconds, as Castleford went on to win big to remain top.
They are level on points with Leeds Rhinos, who beat Wigan 26-18 in Friday's other Super League game.
Castleford Tigers: Hardaker; Monaghan, Webster, Shenton, Eden; Roberts, Gale; Sene-Lefao, McShane, Moors, Millington, McMeeken, Milner.
Replacements: Cook, Springer, Chase, Holmes.
Huddersfield Giants: McIntosh; McGillvary, Cudjoe, Mellor, Ormsby; Gaskell, Brierley; Ikahihifo, Hinchcliffe, Wakeman, Ta'ai, Ferguson, Clough.
Replacements: Rapira, Leeming, Smith, Dickinson.
Referee: Richard Kendall

Football legends have joined fans for the funeral of former Watford, Aston Villa and England boss Graham Taylor.

Stars including John Barnes, Luther Blissett and Sir Alex Ferguson attended the service St Mary's Church in Watford.
BBC commentator John Motson read a tribute from ex-Watford owner Sir Elton John who was not at the funeral.
Hundreds of fans lined the streets to pay respects to Taylor, who died on 12 January aged 72.
His coffin was brought in by six pallbearers, with flowers reflecting the colours of Watford Football Club.
Live: Updates from the Graham Taylor funeral
Rev Tony Rindl, leading the service, said: "Graham's death has come as a great shock to us."
The congregation stood to sing Lead Us Heavenly Father Lead Us - a hymn sung at Mr Taylor's wedding to wife, Rita.
Rev John Samways, a family friend and Watford supporter of 64 years, called him a "devoted" family man.
He recounted how at the age of 13, Taylor met Rita while he was playing Lord Grizzle in school play Tom Thumb the Great.
He said his friend had turned to him and said: "I'm gonna marry that girl."
Six years later the couple were married.
In his tribute, Sir Elton said Mr Taylor was "like a brother," describing him as a man he "befriended and loved from the moment I first met him".
"As chairman and manager we were Batman and Robin," he said.
Taylor's daughter, Joanne, said the family had received "tributes from people from all walks of life," adding for him it was "family first, except on match days", but "for us it was dad first, Graham Taylor second".
His grandchildren also paid tribute to him. Rhianna said they were "always happy, smiling" around him.
Elsie said "thank you for the giggles", while Jake said he was a "major influence in all of our lives".
Mr Taylor's coffin left the church to Amazing Grace and applause from the crowd outside.
A number of former Watford players attended, including Kenny Jackett, Tommy Smith, Alec Chamberlain, Sean Dyche, Malky Mackay, Ross Jenkins, Steve Terry and Steve Sherwood.
Current captain Troy Deeney was also at the ceremony, as were former England players David Platt and Martin Keown who Taylor managed at Aston Villa.
A private family committal will now take place.
Taylor started his managerial career at Lincoln City before being appointed Watford manager by Sir Elton in 1977.
Within five years he took the Hornets from the old Fourth Division to the top flight, a rise peaking in a second place finish in 1983 and, a year later, the FA Cup Final.
He moved to Aston Villa in 1987 where he memorably labelled the club - which five years earlier had been Champions of Europe - a "shambles".
He won promotion at the first attempt and led a Villa side including Paul McGrath and David Platt to second place in the top flight in 1990, securing a return to European football for the Midlands giants.
After resigning as England boss in 1993 following the squad's failure to qualify for the 1994 World Cup, he took over Wolves before a further five-year spell at Watford between 1996 and 2001.
He again guided the club back to the top flight.
Despite announcing his retirement he returned to Aston Villa, first as a director and then manager in 2002-03.


Former Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov is keen to return to the Premier League, his agent says.

The former Bulgaria captain, 35, is a free agent after being released by Greek club PAOK Salonika in June.
"Dimitar feels he can play for at least another year and his priority would be to come back to England," Berbatov's agent Emil Dantchev told BBC Sport.
Former Swansea boss Bob Bradley previously said Berbatov had been "on his radar".
The former Tottenham and Fulham striker, who made 229 Premier League appearances over nine seasons, has previously been linked with a move to Major League Soccer.
He was part of the Manchester United squads that won the league title in 2009 and 2011, when he was joint Golden Boot winner with Carlos Tevez.
Berbatov was on the bench for the 2009 Champions League final defeat by Barcelona but missed out two years later when Sir Alex Ferguson's side were beaten by the same opposition at Wembley.
In addition, he won League Cups with both United and Tottenham, scoring for Spurs in their 2-1 defeat of Chelsea in 2008.


A major redevelopment is being proposed for Fishguard town centre in Pembrokeshire.

The master plan includes a new link road, retail units and the demolition of buildings, including the derelict Fishguard Junior School, on 1.5 hectares (four acres) of land.
Councillors hope it could encourage further investment into the town.
An outline planning application will be submitted on behalf of Pembrokeshire council in November.
The plans also include 142 car parking spaces, new bus shelters and taxi ranks, public spaces, footpaths and alterations to the existing Co-operative supermarket.
Fishguard councillor Pat Davies said the development "has been a long time progressing".
"A lot of negotiations have taken place with various bodies but at last we can now look forward to its implementation. It will hopefully give confidence for further investment into our town," she said.
Goodwick councillor Gwilym Price said: "It's a great step forward for Fishguard and very important to get things moving."


A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a fatal stabbing in Manchester, police have said.

Shaun Murphy, 38, died in hospital after was he was found injured in Greenbrow Road, Wythenshawe on Saturday.
A 23-year-old man is in custody for questioning, Greater Manchester Police said.
Det Ch Insp Jane Higham said: "This investigation is still in it's early stages and we are continuing to follow a number of lines of inquiry."


Lee Haskins retained his IBF bantamweight title with a unanimous points victory over fellow Briton Stuart Hall at London's O2.

Bristol southpaw Haskins, 32, had the better of the early rounds, regularly making his rival miss and landing with the occasional flashing right hook.
Hall, 36, had more success as his rival began to tire and appeared unlucky to lose the fight.
The judges scored the fight 115-113, 117-111, 116-112 in Haskins' favour.
"It's hard not to tire against someone like Stuart," Haskins said.
"I feel like I was winning the fight clearly with my shots, I made him miss a lot and I think that is what won the fight for me.
"You try boxing this guy, he just keeps coming forward, forward, forward, he's like a pitbull and take it from me he hits very hard.
"I am not stupid enough to stand here and get caught by big shots. I'm not here to show I'm the toughest man in Britain. I'm here to win fights and get paid."
Earlier in the night, Charlie Edwards failed in his bid to win the IBF flyweight title in only his ninth professional fight as he was stopped in round 10 by John Riel Casimero.
Surrey boxer Edwards, 23, is a former member of Great Britain's amateur set-up and a ex-European bronze medallist.
But his inexperience in the paid ranks was exposed by 26-year-old Filipino Casimero, who was taking part in his 11th world title contest.
Casimero came out swinging with some wild right hands but the challenger looked assured in the early rounds, boxing behind an orthodox jab.
But it soon became clear that Edwards did not have the power or variety of shots to trouble the champion, who staggered the challenger with an uppercut in the seventh and a clubbing right in the eighth.
Midway through the 10th, Edwards was floored by a left hook but was back on his feet on the count of seven. The referee should perhaps have stopped the fight there and then but did call a halt after another barrage of blows from Casimero.
Haskins versus Hall was the chief support to Kell Brook's middleweight world title challenge against Gennady Golovkin but failed to take fire.
Haskins outpointed Hall when contesting the European title in 2012 and was defending his title for a second time, having been promoted from 'interim' to full IBF champion last November.
Haskins improves to 34 wins (14 KOS) and three defeats, while Hall falls to 20 wins (7 KOs), five defeats and two draws.
"I could have edged it but I think I started a bit late," Hall said.
"I thought it was closer than the points but I started late. It was silly and it is a bad night.
"I should have started a bit earlier. I gave him too much time in the first few rounds. I thought I did enough to maybe nick it at the end but in the first few rounds, I didn't do enough."
Liverpool's Callum Smith retained his fringe WBC 'silver' super-middleweight title with a victory over Hungary's Norbert Nemesapati.
Twenty-six-year-old Smith, the number one contender for Badou Jack's WBC super-middleweight title, floored his game opponent with a body shot at the end of sixth and Nemesapati failed to answer the bell for the start of the seventh.
Sweden's Jack is set for a unification match against Britain's IBF champion James DeGale, but Smith could fight the winner of that contest next year. Smith is pencilled in for a keep-busy fight in his home town in October.
Essex boxer Martin J Ward won the vacant British super-featherweight title with an eighth-round stoppage of Yorkshire's Andy Townend.
Doncaster super-bantamweight Gavin McDonnell stayed on course for a world title shot with a points victory over 18-year-old Nicaraguan Robin Zamora.
Former British and European super-bantamweight champion Kid Galahad continued his rehabilitation after serving a two-year drugs ban with a fourth-round stoppage of Italian veteran Emiliano Salvini.
Conor Benn, son of British legend Nigel, made it four wins out of four in the paid ranks with a second-round knockout of Leicester's Joe Ducker.
Twice super-middleweight world title challenger Paul Smith kept his career afloat, flooring Hungary's Daniel Regi six times before securing a fifth-round stoppage. Paul is the older brother of Callum, WBO light-middleweight champion Liam and super-featherweight prospect Stephen.
Liam defends his world title against feared Mexican Saul Alvarez in Texas next Saturday.


Jamaica's Usain Bolt says he is "50-50" to compete at the 2017 World Championships in London because athletics is less enjoyable for him.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Bolt, who completed a sprint double in Beijing with Thursday's 200m win, added he would run at the 2016 Olympics.
"I want to run but I think the sport is not as fun as it used to be - it's more taxing," the 29-year-old, who has won 10 world titles, told the BBC.
"I can't enjoy it as much as I want to because I have to sacrifice more."
He added: "It is 50-50."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Bolt could make his gold-medal tally to 11 this weekend when he competes for Jamaica in the 4x100m relay.
Once again he is likely to face Justin Gatlin in the final, with the United States one of the favourites for gold. The Jamaicans were beaten by an American quartet at the IAAF World Relays in May.
"In the World Relays, Justin Gatlin had a big game in their victory," added Bolt. "I guess he will be tired now. There will be no reason why we should not win the relay."
Some media outlets have been accused of portraying Gatlin as the "villain" to Bolt's "hero" following two career doping bans.
He came into the World Championships having set the best times over 100m and 200m this season.
Bolt pipped Gatlin to the 100m title, before the American fell to a more emphatic defeat in the longer sprint on Thursday.
Asked by BBC Radio 5 live if a double silver was a disappointment, Gatlin said: "Not at all. I'm out here competing. I'm aged 33.
"I think a lot of people now see the hard work and effort I put into it. It's not a personal race, it's also for my country.
"In the 100m, I beat myself. In the 200m, technically I ran to the best of my ability."
When asked about the media's portrayal of him in the lead up to Beijing 2015, Gatlin said: "I go into shutdown mode. I don't worry about what the media has to say.
"You guys do your job, sensationalise stories sometimes. My job is to compete and get to the line."


Hoffenheim have made Julian Nagelsmann the youngest manager in Bundesliga history after appointing the 28-year-old as their new manager.

The under-19s coach succeeds Huub Stevens, 62, who resigned on Wednesday because of ill health.
Nagelsmann was due to take charge next season but will now manage the league strugglers with immediate effect following "intensive talks".
He has signed a three-year deal with the club through to June 2019.
Hoffenheim are currently five points off the relegation play-off place and seven points from safety.


The US has welcomed a pause in fighting between Turkish and Kurdish forces in northern Syria, urging them to focus on fighting so-called Islamic State (IS).

A US military spokesman described the lull as "a loose agreement" which he hoped would solidify.
Kurdish sources say a ceasefire is in place but a Turkish-backed Syrian rebel commander rejected the term.
Turkish forces have been attacking Kurdish fighters since crossing the border last week.
Turkey is alarmed by the growing power of Kurdish forces, which have proved to be strong allies of the US-led coalition fighting IS.
"In the last several hours, we have received assurance that all parties involved are going to stop shooting at each other and focus on the Isil (IS) threat," said Col John Thomas of US Central Command.
"It's a loose agreement for at least the next couple of days and we are hoping that will solidify."
US state department spokesman John Kirby would not comment on whether a ceasefire was in place, but said the clashes had stopped "and that's the outcome that we want".
"We don't want to see them fighting each other, we want to see everybody in the coalition... focus our efforts on Daesh," he said, used another name for IS.
Turkish forces and allied factions of the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) forced IS out of the Syrian border city of Jarablus last Wednesday and have since pounded neighbouring villages held by the Kurdish-led, US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF).
Turkey has insisted that Kurdish militia, which it regards as terrorists, retreat east across the Euphrates river.
The Jarablus Military Council, which is backed by the SFD, said a truce had been reached with Turkey "via the United states and the international coalition".
But a Turkish-backed Syrian rebel commander described it only as a "pause" in the fighting and said military operations would soon resume.
The Turkish foreign ministry would only say that it was waiting for Kurdish forces to "fulfil a promise" and retreat east of the Euphrates "as soon as possible".
Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said Kurdish-led forces were "shamelessly using the war in Syria to create a de-facto terrorist state in Syria", adding: "Turkey will not allow that."
