Efforts to introduce US trade deals with Europe and Asia have been dealt a blow after a vote in the Senate.

Late on Tuesday, senators rejected a bill that would allow the president to speed trade deals through Congress.
This means that Barack Obama will not be able to fast-track trade pacts such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
The Senate voted 52 to 45, eight votes short of the 60 votes needed to pass.
The move sets back the adoption of the TTIP, a trade agreement between the US and European Union.
The aim of TTIP is to boost the economies of the EU and the US by removing or reducing barriers to trade and foreign investment. Some are concerned that TTIP could undermine governments' right to regulate in the public interest.
TPP is a similar potential US trade pact with Asia and South America. It aims to boost growth in 12 countries in a trade zone covering 40% of the world economy through the slashing of tariffs.
The fast-track bill is vital for the creation of the TPP, according to a government spokesman in Japan.
The trade partnerships had been billed as a legacy-defining achievement for President Obama, but he has faced opposition from within his own party and labour unions.
President Obama was expected to face his toughest battle in the passage of the bill in the House of Representatives, not the Senate.
But Democrats objected to their lack of opportunity to debate trade measures such as currency manipulation by China and voted against the bill.
Only one Democrat backed the bill, in spite of intense lobbying by the White House.


Rowdy stag and hen parties have turned the centre of York into a "no-go area" for residents and tourists, council officials have warned.

They have written to pubs, nightclubs and off-licences in the city inviting licensees to a meeting on Tuesday in a bid to reduce drunken behaviour.
In the letter, City of York Council said anti-social behaviour had become "a major issue" for the police.
"The city is becoming a 'no-go area'... on a Saturday," it said.
The letter mentions the popularity of York with stag and hen parties from other parts of the country, particularly the North East and South Yorkshire.
Kay Hyde, from tourist authority Make it York, said problem drinking was becoming "a serious concern".
"It's an issue, I think, which has been developing for some time and it's something the city as a whole has to get to grips with," she said.
She added that a combination of education and penalties was needed to deter anti-social behaviour.
"It's a mix of using a carrot and a stick to deter people so they know when they are misbehaving there will be consequences."
Steve Waddington from City of York Council said that alcohol-related crime in the city's Alcohol Restriction Zone had fallen by 21% and that the aim of Tuesday's meeting was "to listen to and act on businesses' and residents' concerns about a minority of city centre users".
Martin Caffrey, operations director at the York-based Federation of Licensed Victuallers Associations, said action was needed to stop revellers "loading up on alcohol" bought on trains and in supermarkets.
"They drink bottles bought from supermarkets and half an hour later the landlord gets the problem.
"Control does work," he said.
"It's a commitment to that control that's needed."


US journalist Sydney Schanberg, whose reporting inspired the Oscar-winning Hollywood film, The Killing Fields, has died at the age of 82, the New York Times reports.

Schanberg worked for the Times and won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting the fall of Cambodia to the Khmer Rouge in 1975.
His colleague, Dith Pran, was unable to leave and his four-year ordeal inspired Schanberg's work.
Schanberg died in Poughkeepsie after a heart attack earlier in the week.
His death was confirmed by Charles Kaiser, a friend and former Times reporter, the paper said.
In 1980, Schanberg described his Cambodian colleague's ordeal of torture and starvation at the hands of the Khmer Rouge in a magazine article, and later a book called The Death and Life of Dith Pran.
In 1975, Schanberg and Dith Pran ignored directives from Times editors to evacuate and stayed in Cambodia as almost all Western diplomats and journalists fled.
Both were seized by the Khmer Rouge and threatened with death.
Dith Pran's pleas saved Schanberg's life. The pair took refuge in the French Embassy but Dith Pran was forced to leave and was sent into the countryside.
Two weeks later Schanberg was evacuated by truck to Thailand.
Dith Pran eventually managed to escape to Thailand and died in 2008. It was he who coined the term "killing fields".
The Killing Fields won eight BAFTA Awards and three Academy Awards. Sam Waterston played Schanberg in the movie, with Haing S Ngor, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, in the role of Dith Pran.
The Khmer Rouge was the ruling party in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, during which it was responsible for one of the worst mass killings of the 20th Century. The genocide claimed the lives of more than a million people - some estimates say up to 2.5 million.
Under the Maoist leader Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge tried to take Cambodia back to the Middle Ages, forcing millions of people from the cities to work on communal farms in the countryside.
But the attempt at social engineering had a terrible cost, and whole families died from execution, starvation, disease and overwork.


At least 13 policemen were killed by one of their own in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province.

A police source told the BBC that an infiltrator from the Taliban had allowed militants into the police station in the regional capital of Lashkar Gah last night.
The infiltrator fled the scene with the Taliban, he said.
A spokesperson for provincial governor Omar Zuak confirmed the incident, but did not provide details.
No group has officially claimed responsibility.
Lashkar Gah has come under increased pressure from the Taliban in recent months.
The city of 200,000 people is seen as strategically important, and the key to holding Helmand province.
The province is both a fertile farming region and a centre for opium production, bordering Pakistan on one end and covering major routes between cities.
Thousands of people fled the rural areas to shelter in Lashkar Gah last August, before the city itself came under attack in October.
The city was previously the scene of heavy fighting between the Taliban and Nato-led forces before their withdrawal in 2014.


Guernsey's Alice Loveridge won women's singles and doubles gold on the final day of the 2015 Island Games.

Loveridge beat Aland's Marina Donner 4-2 to take the singles title before teaming up with Dawn Morgan to beat the Faroe Islands 3-1.
Guernsey's Commonwealth Games went on to win mixed doubles silver Gary Dodd, losing the final 3-2 to Aland.
Jersey teenager Jordan Wykes picked up two silver medals, losing the men's singles and men's doubles finals.
Wykes, who is just 15-years-old went down 4-1 to Gotland's Nisse Lundberg in the singles.
Lundberg also got the better of Wykes and his partner Josh Band in the doubles, beating the home favourite 3-2 with partner Bjorn Axelsson.


A 12-year-old boy has been airlifted to hospital after he was seriously injured and collapsed in a school playground in Reading, police have said.

Blessed Hugh Faringdon Catholic School confirmed there was a "medical emergency" at about 13:00 BST.
Police said detectives were investigating as it was believed the victim was assaulted.
An 11-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and is currently in custody.
The victim is in a stable condition in hospital, police said.
Det Insp Nick Watts appealed for any witnesses or anyone with mobile phone footage of the incident to come forward.
"I would like to reassure the community, particularly the young people who may have witnessed this incident or have been affected by it, that we take incidents of this nature seriously and are in the early stages of conducting a thorough investigation and they will be offered support," he added.


A Â£5,000 reward has been offered to catch machete-wielding robbers who stole 18 shotguns from a farmhouse.

The couple who live at the farm - both in their 60s - were assaulted while the three men searched the property.
A large amount of cash and jewellery was stolen before the robbers discovered the farmhouse's gun room.
The victims, who were locked in the gun room, required hospital treatment following the raid in West Handley, near Chesterfield, on 14 March.
Crimestoppers, which has offered the reward, said the theft of the guns was a "serious cause for concern".
The crime-fighting charity confirmed the robbers also stole a large amount of shotgun cartridges.
Lydia Patsalides, from Crimestoppers, said: "This violent burglary was immensely distressing for the victims.
"Not only was cash and valuable jewellery stolen, but the theft of such a large number of shotguns is a serious cause for concern.
"These people need to be found and the shotguns traced, before any further harm can be done."


Quinn Roux will make his Ireland debut as one of five changes for Saturday's second Test against South Africa.

Pretoria-born Roux joins Craig Gilroy, Stuart Olding, Tadhg Furlong and Rhys Ruddock in Joe Schmidt's side for the match in Johannesburg.
Tiernan O'Halloran and Sean Reidy could win their first caps off the bench.
Ireland are aiming to become the first home nation to win a test series in South Africa, having triumphed 26-20 in the first game in Cape Town last week.
The third and final Test will be played in Port Elizabeth on 25 June.
The Springboks have not lost a Test series at home in the past 19 years and have never lost a Test series to Ireland.
South Africa coach Allister Coetzee makes two enforced changes from last weekend with fly-half Elton Jantjies and lock Pieter-Steph du Toit  replacing injured Patrick Lambie and Lood de Jager.
Jantjies' inclusion raises the number of black players in the starting line-up to six.
The South Africa government has demanded that the Springboks better reflect the demographics of a country where 90 percent of the people are black.
Ireland won at Newlands despite being reduced to 14 men following the dismissal of CJ Stander.
A gruelling season that began with a pre-World Cup training camp back in July 2015, the physical toll of defending with 14 men for almost an hour last weekend, and playing at altitude are believed to have influenced Schmidt's thinking with regards to freshening up his side.
Gilroy replaces Keith Earls and will form an all-Ulster back three alongside Jared Payne and Andrew Trimble, while Olding comes in for provincial team-mate Luke Marshall at inside centre.
Olding, who last started for Ireland against Georgia in November 2014, will link up with Robbie Henshaw in a new-look Irish midfield.
Mike Ross, who has been virtually an ever-present during Schmidt's time in charge, drops out for his Leinster team-mate Tadgh Furlong, who makes his first Test start having won all of his six previous caps from the bench.
Roux's promotion to the second row alongside Devin Toner comes as something of a surprise, the 25-year-old having been on the periphery of Connacht's starting side this season.
With Stander serving a one-match ban, Iain Henderson moves from the second row to the blindside and Ruddock comes in for Jordi Murphy at openside flanker.
Ruddock last started in the number seven shirt for Ireland as a late call-up for Chris Henry on the morning of Ireland's 29-15 victory against the Boks in November 2014 at the Aviva Stadium. Jamie Heaslip remains at number eight.
Earls, Ross, Marshall, Murphy, Ultan Dillane, Sean Cronin, and the suspended Stander are all absent from the 23-man matchday squad, with Richardt Strauss, Dave Kilcoyne, Donnacha Ryan, Reidy and O'Halloran coming on to the bench.
South Africa: W le Roux; JP Pietersen, L Mapoe, D de Allende, L Mvov; E Jantjies, F de Klerk; T Mtawarira, A Strauss (capt), F Malherbe; E Etzebeth, P du Toit; F Louw, S Kolisi, D Vermeulen.
Replacements: B Mbonambi, T Nyakane, J Redelinghuys, F Mostert, W Whiteley, R Paige, M Steyn, R Combrink.
Ireland: J Payne; A Trimble, R Henshaw, S Olding, C Gilroy; P Jackson, C Murray; J McGrath, R Best (capt), T Furlong; D Toner, Q Roux; I Henderson, R Ruddock, J Heaslip.
Replacements: R Strauss, D Kilcoyne, F Bealham, D Ryan, S Reidy, K Marmion, I Madigan, T O'Halloran.


For many, the holy city of Jerusalem is meant to be a shared capital for Israel and the Palestinians - two peoples in two nations, living peacefully, side-by-side.

At least that is the dream of the so-called "two-state solution" to end a decades-old conflict.
The idea has been set out in UN resolutions going back to the mid-'70s, driving diplomatic efforts that culminated in the breakthrough 1993 Oslo Accords.
But after many rounds of failed peace talks, it looks increasingly in jeopardy.
A summit taking place in Paris on Sunday is expected to try to signal to Israel and the next US president that establishing a Palestinian state is the only path to peace.
France will host more than 70 countries and world powers for the conference, but there will be no Israelis or Palestinians present.
Well-informed sources confirm reports of a draft statement asking both sides "to officially restate their commitment to the two-state solution".
It will also affirm that the international community "will not recognise" changes to Israel's pre-1967 lines unless they are agreed with the Palestinians.
It will make clear "a negotiated solution" is "the only way to achieve enduring peace".
The Palestinians welcome the French initiative but it is rejected by Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"It's a rigged conference, rigged by the Palestinians with French auspices to adopt additional anti-Israeli stances," he said this week.  "This pushes peace backwards."
The conference follows last month's UN Security Council resolution which called on Israel to stop settlement construction in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Over 600,000 Israelis live in these areas which were captured in the 1967 Middle East war.  They are seen as illegal under international law, but Israel disagrees.
This week, US President Barack Obama returned to the subject of settlements in an interview with Israel's Channel Two.
"The facts on the ground are making it almost impossible - at least very difficult, and if this trend line continues, impossible - to create a contiguous, functioning, Palestinian state," he said.
"If that's the case, then what you're embracing is a vision of Greater Israel in which an occupation continues indefinitely."
The timing of the talks in Paris - just days before Donald Trump moves into the White House - appear very deliberate.
He has not yet spelt out his vision for the Middle East but has shown strong backing for the Israeli far-right.
He has nominated a lawyer, David Friedman, who is an outspoken critic of the two-state solution and supporter of settlements, to be his ambassador to Israel.
Mr Trump has also promised to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
Like other countries, the US currently keeps its embassy in Tel Aviv, as it does not recognise Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem.
"This is very dangerous what President-elect Trump wants to do," Palestinian official, Mohammed Shtayyeh tells me.  "It is American recognition that Jerusalem is part of the State of Israel."
"We would consider this American move as an end to the peace process, an end to the two states and really putting the whole region into chaos."
A poll conducted last year suggests that a slight majority of Palestinians - 51% - and Israelis - 59% - still support the two-state solution.  However there is high mutual mistrust.
In recent days, Israeli officials have urged world leaders to refocus their attention on ways to tackle terrorism following a truck ramming by a Palestinian that killed four young soldiers in Jerusalem.
They argue that the very Palestinian leaders with whom they are supposed to be seeking peace have incited an upsurge in attacks, mostly stabbings, since October 2015.
Some 40 Israelis have been killed and more than 230 Palestinians have been shot dead by Israeli security forces.  Israel says most of those Palestinians were involved in attacks.  Others were killed in clashes with troops.
Palestinian leaders blame the violence on a younger generation's anger at the failure of talks to end Israel's occupation and deliver on promises of an independent state.


Sale Sharks and England Saxons centre Sam James has signed a new four-year contract.

The 22-year-old cemented the outside centre position last season and his form saw him play for England's second team in South Africa during the summer.
James has joined hooker Cameron Neild in committing to the club.
"I'm more than delighted to sign with the club moving forward with the players that have signed recently," he told BBC Sport.
"One lucky season like last year doesn't define you as a player so I've got to move on and keep pushing forward."
Director of rugby Steve Diamond added: "I have every confidence he will build on his first full season with us and am sure he will be pushing towards an England call-up in the not too distant future."


British short track speed skater Elise Christie won the 1,000m gold medal at the World Cup event in South Korea on Saturday.

The 26-year-old Scot clocked one minute 29.39 seconds to beat South Korean world number one Choi Min-jeong.
Team-mate Kathryn Thomson reached the quarter-finals.
Christie's success in Gangneung follows her double gold in the 500m events in the Chinese World Cup in Shanghai last weekend.
She will have the chance to go for another double gold on South Korea's 2018 Winter Olympics track in the second 1,000m event on Sunday.
Gangneung is the fourth World Cup event of six to be held over 2016-17, with the next taking place in Dresden, Germany on 3-5 February.


UK retail sales have fallen in June as clothing sales were hit by the wet weather, official figures show.

High Street spending fell by 0.9% last month compared with May, the sharpest drop for six months, the Office for National Statistics said.
It added that that retailers had not yet reported any anecdotal evidence from the UK's vote to leave the EU.
But analysts expect spending to slow in the months ahead as consumer confidence is hit by the result of the referendum.
Compared with a year ago, retail sales were up by 4.3%.
Average prices in stores, including petrol stations, fell by 2.5% over the year, the release also shows.
Department stores sales were lifted by the Euro 2016 football tournament and the Queen's 90th birthday, but the large amount of rainfall last month hit fashion stores.
"June's sharp decline in retail sales marks the beginning of a much weaker period of consumer spending," said Samuel Tombs from Pantheon Economics.
"The combination of higher prices, job cuts and the Chancellor's decision not to immediately alter the fiscal plans likely will bring the recovery in consumer spending to its knees," he added.
Scott Bowman from Capital Economics added that "the poor base set by the June result means that the retail sector will play its part in our expectation that GDP growth will fall to around zero" in the third quarter.


Richard Hammond has spoken about how he thought he was going to die when he crashed a car earlier this month.

"What was probably going through my mind was 'well, this is it,'" the Grand Tour presenter said, recalling the crash on a Swiss hillside.
"In fact that is what was going through my mind. I thought I'd had it."
The host was on a practice run for a race in an electric car when the vehicle left the road, tumbled down the hill and burst into flames.
He described the experience as "like being in a tumble dryer full of bricks going down a hill".
In a video posted on Drivetribe, he said: "I was aware that I was up, that I was high, that inevitably the car was going to come down.
"And yes of course there was a moment of dread. 'Oh God I'm going to die.' And also I was aware that the car was taking just such a beating."
The crash came 11 years after the presenter was left in a coma by a high-speed crash as he filmed for the BBC's Top Gear.
This time, he said he was conscious throughout. "I was thinking, 'Yeah, I can't make this.'
"You're aware of tumbling - sky, ground, sky, ground, sky, ground, sky, ground."
When the car finally came to a rest more than 100m from the road - and having narrowly missed a house - he dragged himself out of the vehicle before the first people came to his aid.
"I do remember saying to them, 'Drag me by my arms not my legs because I think I've broken that leg.'"
It transpired that he had fractured his knee. He described how the accident had "collapsed the knee joint on the top of the bottom bone".
But he recounted how, when he showed his youngest daughter the dressing on his knee, she was not entirely sympathetic. She told him: "Daddy you look like you've fallen over in the playground."
He also said it hadn't had a major impact on the filming schedule of the Amazon Prime programme.
The incident on 10 June took place as Hammond completed a hill climb in the Hemberg area. He had been driving a Rimac Concept One, an electric supercar built in Croatia, during filming for the show's second season.

Looking at some of the latest tech news, it's tempting to wonder whether we've all jumped out of the same DeLorean famously driven by time travellers Doc Brown and Marty McFly in the 1985 film Back to the Future.

In January 2015, the ZX Spectrum games console - originally launched by Clive Sinclair in 1982 - went back into production in the UK and will be sold pre-loaded with 1,000 classic games.
The same month, Sony brought a 21st Century twist to its classic personal stereo the Walkman, a brand it launched in 1979 and retired in 2010, in the form of a high-end digital music player.
Ion Audio also unveiled a new record player - the Air LP, a turntable equipped with bluetooth for music streaming. It also has USB connectivity so it can be plugged in to a computer.
And in the gaming zone at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, nestling between the Xboxes, Playstations, 4K graphics and virtual reality headsets, was a machine with origins dating back at least 250 years.
That device was the humble pinball machine - the earliest recorded being the bagatelles of 18th Century France.
So why can't we let go of our old tech?
"As is the case in fashion or furniture, retro is quite attractive," said analyst Carolina Milanesi from analysts Kantar.
"With tech, however, it gets tricky as you need to deliver value. In some cases, vendors deliver new tech in a retro package while in others the technology, while improved in specs, remains pretty close to the initial offering."
While using a brand like the Walkman is a good sales tactic, ultimately it is a long way from the original in terms of what it offers - and its price tag (£949) is steep, she added.
"Personally, I believe, that design versus tech would work better as a retro offering - but even so the appeal would be limited."
In America, old arcade games are enjoying a revival thanks in part to the success of drinking establishments like the chain Barcade, where drinkers can quaff locally produced beers while indulging in some classic arcade entertainment.
"Our most popular games are the classics like Ms Pac Man and Donkey Kong and also the multiplayer games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Simpsons, NBA Jam and X-Men," said Barcade CEO Paul Kermizian.
"We only feature classic video games."
Some traditional games have had to adapt to survive however.
Chicago-based manufacturer Stern Pinball, founded in 1986, treads the line between offering a nostalgic product but with a contemporary hook - the firm has just released three new pinball tables based around cult franchises WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), Star Trek and the Walking Dead.
"We think we're part of the future," said founder Gary Stern.
"It's not just a ball bouncing round - it's a game, there is a sport to this."
While the majority of Stern's individual customers are "50 plus, used to play pinball in their 20s", the 25-30-year-old crowd is also becoming a target market.
"We realised we had to make different games for different people - one size doesn't fit all," said owner Gary Stern.
"We're trying to interest new players while keeping our core customers.
"But it's still basically a bat/ball mechanical action machine," he added.
"When you hit the door of the prison in the Walking Dead it opens and you see a zombie - it's not a programmed game."
The mechanics underneath the bonnet certainly look more complex than they would have done even 20 years ago. Semi-smart node boards have enabled each game to have more features, and LED lights rather than fluorescent tubes are now the norm.
As part of the design process, all of Stern's staff help out with the user testing.
"Staff have to play for 15 minutes every day. If you don't want to play pinball, don't work for a pinball company," said Mr Stern.
"I'm 69 - I'm old and slow. I represent the player in the pub who's had a bucket-and-a-half of beer."
With the machines, retailing at between $5,000-$6,000, it is not a cheap hobby. Mr Stern says his biggest customers are arcade owners, cinemas, collectors - and record buyers.
Record buyers are fast becoming a hot target market for other tech retailers too.
Martin Talbot, managing director of the UK Official Charts Company, predicts that vinyl sales alone are set to soar from £3m five years ago to being a £20m business in 2015.
Last year, more than one million vinyl record sales were made in the UK for the first time in 18 years.
"In an era when we're all talking about digital music, the fact that these beautiful physical artefacts are still as popular as they are is fantastic," Mr Talbot told BBC Radio 5 live recently.
"It's really remarkable."
The Official Chart Company is now planning to relaunch a separate chart for record sales in the UK - and firms making and selling turntables are also feeling the love.
"To be honest, we've always stocked and sold turntables at a fairly steady rate, but the past year has seen a 70% jump in the number of units we've sold," said Lol Lecanu, spokesperson for hi-fi specialists Richer Sounds.
Celebrity endorsement always helps of course - rockstar Dave Grohl, whose bands include the Foo Fighters and Nirvana, has spoken about his love of records.
In a podcast with comedian Marc Maron he described getting a turntable for his then six-year-old daughter and giving her some Beatles records.
"I walked out of the room, an hour later she had all the records out on the floor, she had listened to them all," he said.
"She was looking at the liner notes, she was dancing, it was unbelievable."
Grohl added that he did not feel he was doing his daughter a disservice by introducing her to the Fab Four accompanied by the legendary scratch and hiss of the humble turntable.
"This is what it sounded like when I was a kid," he said.
"I'm not going to give her the audio file version."


Two options have been drawn up to outline how Nottingham's tram system could extend to Derby as part of plans for the HS2 high-speed rail network.

One tram route would follow the A52 to Derby city centre, while another proposed route would go through Borrowash and Spondon.
The route would connect the two cities with the proposed HS2 station in Toton, Nottinghamshire.
East Midlands Councils said there is no guarantee a tram will be chosen.
Andrew Pritchard, from East Midlands Councils, which is co-ordinating the region's work on HS2, said "a range of options" were being looked at.
He said these included a tram, but also high-speed buses, trains and improvements to the road network.
"Nottingham Express Transit have been looking at a range of options for extending the tram route as far as Derby but also into Long Eaton and East Midlands Airport", he said.
Mr Pritchard said the A52 route would be "quite quick" but may not pick up as many people as the other route option.
"They're just two concepts at the moment rather than routes but they're worth further exploration and analysis," he said.
Work will now be done to develop an "outline business case for a limited number of options" over the next few months.
The cost of the work is not part of the budget for the national Â£50bn HS2 project.
The BBC previously learned the project to extend the tram system was being treated as a "priority".


Brazilian midfielder Fernando has joined Turkish club Galatasaray from Manchester City for an undisclosed fee.

The 30-year-old, who began his career in his homeland with Vila Nova, joined City from Porto for £12m in 2014.
Fernando made 101 appearances for City and helped them beat Liverpool in the 2016 EFL Cup final.
He played 27 games last season but made just one start, and remained at home during the team's pre-season tour of the US in July.
"It's been a pleasure to play for Manchester City," he said.
Pep Guardiola is looking to sign a centre-back after spending £200m this summer, with £120m of that on three full-backs.

Britain's Jamie Murray and Australian John Peers moved into the US Open doubles final, but Dom Inglot missed out on his first Grand Slam final.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Murray and Peers saved a match point to beat Americans Steve Johnson and Sam Querrey 6-4 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (9-7).
It is the second successive Grand Slam final for Murray and Peers after their run at Wimbledon in July.
They will play French duo Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut, who beat Inglot and Robert Lindstedt 7-5 6-2.
"My nerves are shot but we're so happy to win and get to the final," said Murray.
"We played a very high level match and the other guys were serving really well but we managed to turn it around."
Murray and Peers took the opening set but the Americans, who failed to take any of their first four break points, won the second set 7-2 on a tie-break.
Eighth seeds Murray and Peers moved 5-3 ahead in the deciding set and were serving for the match only to be immediately broken back by the Americans.
The third set went to a tie-break, Murray and Peers saving a match point before advancing into the final.
Earlier on Thursday, Inglot failed to make the final, although it was still his best run at a Grand Slam after two quarter-final defeats in the Australian Open.
Inglot and Sweden's Lindstedt were playing in only their fourth tournament together, having won the US Open warm-up event in New Haven, but could not build on an early break and struggled on serve as Herbert and Mahut took control.
Two breaks of serve gave the French duo the first set in 47 minutes, and they moved 3-1 clear in the second on the way to matching their run to the Australian Open final in January.
"Credit to them, they were just better on the day," Inglot said. "It wasn't my best day, I thought I let us down a bit so I'm a bit disappointed with that."


Asylum seekers in the UK who claim to be torture victims are facing two-year delays to be examined because doctors are "overwhelmed" by caseloads, a report says.

The borders watchdog said there was "no evidence" the Home Office was setting reasonable time limits for cases.
In one case, a person who applied for asylum in December 2014 was given a medical assessment date in August 2017.
The Home Office said it "accepts, or partially accepts" the findings.
The report by Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration David Bolt also said the rising number of asylum claims "posed a risk" to the efficiency and effectiveness of the system.
"Between 1 June and 30 August 2015, the Home Office received almost 50% more claims (9,529) than in the corresponding period in 2014 (6,695)," it said.
The report, which looked into asylum casework between March and July last year, said one way to get independent verification of torture was a "Medico-legal Report" (MLR) by a specially trained medical worker following an examination.
Home Office guidance says such reports should be obtained within five months of a case being put on hold to await an MLR.
But inspectors said: "The only two organisations (the Helen Bamber Foundation and Freedom from Torture) recognised by the Home Office as able to provide independent verification of torture resulting in release from detention were overwhelmed by the volume of applications for an MLR."
Home Office data showed 452 applicants were released from the Detained Fast Track scheme - though not necessarily released from detention - in 2014-15 having obtained an appointment with the Helen Bamber Foundation or Freedom from Torture.
But the report said its sample of 15 asylum seekers "indicated that claimants faced lengthy delays, typically around two years, before an MLR could be provided".
It said the Home Office's five-month target was not "grounded in reality" and those affected faced a "lengthy period of uncertainty".
It added: "The longer the wait, the greater the likelihood the claimant will acquire alternative rights to remain, for example on the basis of having established a family life in the UK."
Mr Bolt's report made nine recommendations, including that the Home Office should "review the arrangements for handling claims of torture".
"We are committed to treating all asylum claimants with respect and dignity, and we will continue to improve on current practice in this area," said the Home Office.
Freedom from Torture said the vast majority of its reports are produced within the agreed five-month timescale.
Director of policy and advocacy Sonya Sceats said: "Our reports go through a very rigorous medical and legal review process. We regard the report by the chief inspector of borders and immigration as misleading in respect of our MLRs and we will be bringing this to his attention."


The two top HSBC bosses have apologised for "unacceptable" practices at its Swiss private bank which helped clients to avoid tax.

Stuart Gulliver, group chief executive, said it had caused "damage to trust and confidence" in the company.
He and chairman Douglas Flint were answering questions from UK Members of Parliament of the Treasury Committee.
Mr Flint said he felt shame and would "take his share of responsibility" for Swiss private bank failings.
But when asked by MPs who was most responsible for the problems in HSBC's Swiss private bank, Mr Flint said: "The individuals most accountable for the data theft and the behaviour that was unacceptable to our standards, was the management in Switzerland.
"Most culpable were the relationship managers [in the Swiss private bank]."
Mr Flint estimated that some 30% of those relationship managers were still employed by HSBC.
Information about some 30,000 accounts at the Swiss private bank operation were leaked in 2007 to French tax authorities who passed it on to the UK tax authorities (HMRC).
Former director of public prosecutions Lord Ken Macdonald QC said last week that there was sufficient evidence for the bank to be investigated for conspiracy to defraud the UK tax authorities.
However, Jennie Granger, director general enforcement and compliance at HMRC told the Treasury committee: "What we had was intelligence, not evidence. It was stolen data, it's quality was not good.... and we were dealing with a jurisdiction that would not accept stolen data as evidence."
Lin Horner, chief executive of HMRC, said that earlier this week the French authorities had approved wider use of the stolen Swiss data.
HSBC has been involved in a range of banking scandals, including foreign exchange manipulation and rigging of international interest rate benchmarks.
When asked about the wider list of allegations and investigations into HSBC by international regulatory authorities Mr Flint said: "it's a terrible list."
Despite reforms, he said he could not exclude the possibility of further problems emerging.
He said the task of reforming HSBC will "always be ongoing".
The Committee's chairman, Andrew Tyrie, asked him what the prospects were of "another rotten bit of HSBC popping out of the woodwork".
Mr Flint replied: "In relation to not having line of sight to what's happening at lower levels in the organisation, I think the control environment because of the progressive implementation of a single set of standards is very much stronger than it was in the past."
Mr Gulliver, who has worked for HSBC for 35 years and became chief executive in 2011, told the committee that his personal holding of a Swiss bank account through a Panamanian company had "no tax purpose".
He said the arrangement only reflected a desire for privacy from his colleagues at HSBC in Hong Kong.
He said:  "It was purely about privacy from colleagues in Hong Kong and Switzerland. We had a computer system back in the day that allowed everybody to inquire into staff accounts ... I was amongst the highest paid people and I wished to preserve my privacy from colleagues. Nothing more than that."
Mr Gulliver told the committee he had "followed the letter of the law" of the UK non-domicile rules,
He said: "The important point is I've paid UK tax on my HSBC earnings during that entire period [since being based in the UK], so the amount of tax I have paid is the fair and appropriate amount."

Kvitova, who was playing only her third tournament of 2017 after being stabbed by an intruder at her home in December, lost 6-1 1-6 6-2 on court two.
The American had never won a singles game at Wimbledon before this year and is ranked 95th in the world.
In the deciding set, Kvitova struggled physically and needed medical help, but managed to complete the match.
"I'm glad it is over," said the 27-year-old Czech player afterwards.
"It was really tough and I feel really empty. My body is not great but mentally I'm glad it is over.
"I just need to look to the future and focus and prepare for the next tournament."

Former world number one Victoria Azarenka reached the third round with a 6-3 6-3 win over 15th seed Elena Vesnina.
Azarenka, 27, is playing only her second tournament of 2017 after giving birth to her son Leo in December.
The Belarusian, ranked 683rd, broke the Russian's serve in the sixth game on her way to taking the opening set.
Azarenka broke Vesnina's serve twice more in the second set to secure a match with Britain's Heather Watson.
Vesnina, a Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2016, needed medical attention in the second set as she was struggling with a hip injury, but was able to complete the match.
World number 86 Camila Giorgi of Italy secured a big upset as she knocked out American 17th seed Madison Keys 6-4 6-7 (10-12) 6-1.
Giorgi served for the match in the second set but was broken and then wasted four match points, including one on her own serve, in an epic tie-break.
Ultimately, it did not matter as Giorgi stormed through the deciding set to move into the third round of Wimbledon for the fourth time in her career.

Olympic synchronised 10m platform bronze medallist Daniel Goodfellow almost quit diving in 2014 because of injury, says his coach Marc Holdsworth.

Goodfellow, 19, won Team GB's fourth Rio 2016 medal, alongside Tom Daley.
"[Goodfellow] damaged his long thoracic nerve, so couldn't control his scapula and shoulder blade. We feared he would be out of the sport," said Holdsworth.
"We found a specialist and he strapped him to the table on Christmas Eve 2014 and managed to fix him."
Goodfellow only partnered with Daley, one of Britain's most recognisable Olympians, in October last year.
The athlete from Cambridgeshire moved in with his 22-year-old team-mate in London as a lodger before the Games and the pair were fancied to win a synchro medal after taking European silver in May.
Find out how to get into diving with our special guide.
And coach Holdsworth, who is not in Rio, spoke to Goodfellow over the phone after he helped clinch only GB's eighth Olympic diving medal after pipping Germany to third place in a tense finish.
"Me and him had a little bit of a tear over the phone," Holdsworth told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"To have the honour and privilege to work with him and create the athlete he is today is just incredible."
After months of toning your body and eating right, some athletes may take just one night off the stringent regime to party after winning a medal.
But not for Goodfellow, who celebrated in relatively quiet fashion, by playing a fighting game on a games console with his friends.
"The rest of the diving team still have competition to go so I just went back and played a bit of PS4 with the boys that have still got to compete," he said.
"I didn't celebrate that immensely, but everything in my head was spinning.
"I'm sure there'll be time for celebrations. We were playing UFC but usually we play Destiny."


A woman has pleaded guilty to murdering three men whose bodies were found in ditches in Cambridgeshire.

The bodies of Lukasz Slaboszewski, 31, Kevin Lee, 48, and John Chapman, 56, were found in ditches 10 miles (16km) apart in Newborough and Thorney.
Joanna Dennehy, 31, of Bifield, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey earlier.
The bodies of the victims were found in March and April. All three had been stabbed.
Dennehy admitting killing Mr Slaboszewski between 19 and 29 March. He had been stabbed in the heart, post-mortem tests showed.
She also pleaded guilty to murdering both Kevin Lee and John Chapman on 29 March.
Mr Lee died from stab wounds to the chest, and Mr Chapman had been stabbed in the neck and chest, tests revealed.
Dennehy also admitted "preventing the lawful and decent burial" of all three murder victims.
She also pleaded guilty to two additional charges of attempting to murder two other men.
After entering her pleas, Dennehy told the judge, Mr Justice Sweeney: "I've pleaded guilty, and that's that."
Her barrister, Nigel Lickley QC, said: "The course of the arraignment is not one we had anticipated."
Also in the dock was Gary Richards, 47, of Riseholme, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough - also known as Gary Stretch - who denied three charges of preventing the lawful burial of the bodies of Mr Slaboszewski, Mr Lee and Mr Chapman.
He also denied attempting to murder the two other men.
Two other defendants appeared at the hearing by videolink.
Leslie Layton, 36, of Bifield, Orton Goldhay, pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice at an earlier hearing, while Robert Moore, 55, of Belvoir Way, Peterborough, denied assisting an offender.


YouTube's new analytics tool reveals some surprising secrets about the world's most popular musicians.

Music Insight lets artists see where their videos are being streamed, helping them plot tours and target their most fervent fans.
"This data can help you get a song added to radio by showing a programmer how big your local fan base is," YouTube told musicians on its blog.
It also reveals that, for example, Ed Sheeran is "big in the Phillippines".
His videos have been streamed in the country more than 178 million times since September 2014, making it his third biggest market after the US and the UK.
Sheeran discovered the Phillippines' enthusiasm in March, when he played the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
"This is honestly, hand on heart, 100 per cent the best reception I've ever received," the British star said.
Here are some more surprising facts uncovered by YouTube's insight tool.
The singer's videos were watched 44.9 million times in Mexico City over the last nine months, three times as many as New York, her biggest city in the US.
But overall, the singer's popularity in the US outstrips her Mexican audience, with 372 million streams compared to 231 million.
The Scottish duo have been streamed 250,811 times in Edinburgh, and 206.903 times in Glasgow - that's roughly one play for every two residents.
Their biggest city is London, with 692,714 streams, but that represents just 9 per cent of the population.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert have been named male and female vocalist of the year five times running by the Country Music Awards.
But their fanbase is almost entirely restricted to the USA - with Houston, Chicago and Dallas listed as their top three cities.
A random sample of other country stars (Kacey Musgraves, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban) returns the same three cities.
Dolly Parton is the exception that breaks the rule - and she breaks it quite spectacularly. Her top five territories are London, Bucharest, Nairobi, Tel Aviv and Dublin.
The reformed teen-pop band have their biggest audience in London (1.3 million views) but their next biggest territory is in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City, where fans have streamed songs like Reach and S Club Party 337,095 times.
The country seems to have a taste for mediocre turn-of-the-century pop acts: Westlife have their biggest audience in Vietnam.
The Boss's best known songs chronicle his working-class roots in New Jersey - but they've been watched more times in London (1.5 million times) than in New York - which is the closest city to his hometown listed in YouTube's data set.
The same is true of fellow New Jerseyans Bon Jovi, whose songs have been streamed twice as many times in London (4.4 million) as in New York (2.2 million).
At some point, every music fan has to pick a side: The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Well, according to YouTube, The Beatles have won. Their music has been played 667 million times, compared to The Stones' paltry 474 million.
Liverpudlians are more decisive on the matter. The Beatles have notched up 876,403 streams in their hometown - but the city doesn't feature anywhere in The Stones' top 100.
For the record, Paul McCartney is more popular than John Lennon, and Oasis beat Blur by a factor of 2:1.
Chris Martin's band were forced to postpone, then cancel their South American tour in 2013 "due to circumstances beyond our control".
But it hasn't dented their popularity - with six of their top 10 biggest cities located in Latin America.
Mexico City tops the list, followed by Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Bogota and Rio de Janeiro.
Swift has more fans in Bangkok than anywhere else in the world - with 49.5 million attempts to shake it off in Thailand's capital.
But her 1989 tour - which lands in the UK this month - isn't currently scheduled to stop in the country.
G-Dragon is a K-pop juggernaut, so it's no surprise that his music is wildly popular in South Korea, where he's scored 14 million views.
But his biggest territories are actually Chile (16.3 million) and Mexico (16.1 million).

Coach Jonatan Johansson reckons Rangers are moving in the right direction after a significant squad rebuild.

And he believes they will prove it against Progres Niederkorn on Tuesday night in Luxembourg, as they take a 1-0 lead into the second leg of the Europa League first round qualifier.
"We looked very much a team, a unit, after only three weeks together," Johansson said of the first leg.
"The manager's ideas were coming through in the game."
Kenny Miller scored the only goal as Rangers made a winning return to the European stage after a six-year absence.
The Ibrox side were expected to build a bigger lead in the first leg but Finn Johansson is relaxed about how the match went.
New signings Ryan Jack, Fabio Cardoso, and Dalcio started the match, with Alfredo Morelos and Daniel Candeias also making their debuts as second-half substitutes.
"The first game was always going to be a little bit tense, with the crowd and everything else, it was a fantastic occasion at Ibrox," Johansson added.
"We had them watched many times and we knew it was going to be hard. They are very well organised, they fight hard.
"We have been very positive, there were a lot of positives to take out of the game. We had a meeting and we all agreed that we are going in the right direction.
"We played well, especially in the first half. We didn't get the second goal but I am very confident we will go there and play well and score and go through.
"I don't think it's going to be easy away from home, it will be a tough game, we are not underestimating the task in any way. But I also feel very confident.
"It's good to play together and it will definitely have helped the guys for this game."
Johansson revealed that recent signings Eduardo Herrera and Carlos Pena are available for Tuesday's match, but are still getting up tot full fitness.
And he refused to be drawn on reports that Rangers are closing in on the signing of Graham Dorrans from Norwich City.


Located at the crossroads of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Europe and Africa, Spain's history and culture are made up of a rich mix of diverse elements.

Through exploration and conquest, Spain became a world power in the 16th century, and it maintained a vast overseas empire until the early 19th century.
Spain's modern history is marked by the bitterly fought Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, and the ensuing 36-year dictatorship of General Francisco Franco.
After Franco's death in 1975, Spain made the transition to a democratic state and built a successful economy, with King Juan Carlos as head of state.
The constitution of 1978 enshrines respect for linguistic and cultural diversity within a united Spain. The country is divided into 17 regions which all have their own directly elected authorities.
The level of autonomy afforded to each region is far from uniform. For example, Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia have special status with their own language and other rights.
Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
Andalucia, Navarre, Valencia and the Canaries in turn have more extensive powers than some other regions. Asturias and Aragon have taken steps to consolidate language rights.
In 2006 a Catalan referendum backed by the central government gave the region greater autonomy.
The region's parliament gained extra powers in taxation and judicial matters, although the deepening recession and Catalonia's high indebtedness has spurred calls for independence from Spain. The country's regional picture is a complex and evolving one.
One of Spain's most serious domestic issues has been tension in the northern Basque region. A violent campaign by the armed Basque separatist group Eta led to nearly 850 deaths over four decades until, after several stalled cease-fires, it disbanded in 2012.
The Spanish economy was of the most dynamic in the EU, but the tourism, housing and construction industry mainstays were hit hard by the global economic crisis of 2008-9.
The bursting of the housing bubble tipped Spain into a severe recession and by the spring of 2013 unemployment had risen to a peak of 27.2%.
Austerity measures imposed by the government in an effort to reduce the level of public debt sparked a wave of protests and gave rise to the Podemos (We Can Do It) political movement.
The economy nonetheless began to turn round by the end of 2013, and the country saw stronger than expected growth the following year, with unemployment falling back to 24.5%.
Spain consists of most of the Iberian peninsula, plus the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and two North African exclaves.
From Velazquez in the seventeenth century, through Goya straddling the eighteenth and nineteenth, to Picasso in the twentieth, Spain has the proudest of traditions in art.
Flamenco music and dance are widely admired around the world while Cervantes' novel Don Quixote is one of the most popular ever written.
Cinema is much loved and the films of directors such as Pedro Almodovar attract huge audiences.


A new TV channel for the BBC in Scotland will begin broadcasting in autumn 2018, director-general Tony Hall has announced.

The channel will have a budget of £30m, equivalent to the amount spent on BBC4.
The plans for the channel include a Scottish news hour at 9pm which will broadcast stories from Scotland, the UK and the world.
The director-general also announced an increase of about £20m a year for Scotland to make UK-wide programmes.
The BBC's Scotland editor Sarah Smith on the new "Scottish Nine"
Brian Taylor: It's a 'yes' to BBC Scotland's new TV channel
He said this would be focused on drama and factual programming.
The key points of the new channel - which will be called BBC Scotland - are:
Lord Hall described it as the biggest single investment in broadcast content in Scotland for more than 20 years.
Scotland should receive about £40m in new funding annually - £19m for the new channel and digital developments, and £20m for making network programmes.
It is hoped that spending on network programmes made in Scotland for a UK-wide BBC audience will rise from about £65m this year to closer to £90m over the next three years.
Lord Hall said: "We know that viewers in Scotland love BBC television but we also know that they want us to better reflect their lives and better reflect modern Scotland.
"The best way of achieving this is a dedicated channel for Scotland.
"It's a channel that will be bold, creative and ambitious, with a brand-new Scotland-edited international news programme at its heart."
The new BBC TV channel for Scotland will broadcast every evening and will show drama, factual, comedy and news programmes made in Scotland.
The development of a nightly news hour at 9pm means that the news output on BBC One in Scotland will remain in its current form.
There had been calls for a "Scottish Six", which would integrate the main BBC News at Six from London and Reporting Scotland in a news hour.
It would provide UK, Scottish and international stories from a Scottish perspective.
The proposals for a Scottish Six were in response to criticism that the News at Six often featured stories - for example on education and health - that had little relevance to Scottish audiences.
The Scottish government argued the BBC needed to "catch up" with devolution and to give its Scottish operation greater control of budgets, staffing and decision making.
Responding to the latest announcement, SNP MP John Nicolson said he welcomed the new channel and extra investment for Scotland.
However, he said he was "disappointed" the BBC had "killed off" the idea of separate Scottish Six news on BBC One.
He said: ""You just have to watch the running order of the main BBC news.
"Quite often they will lead on an English health story then there will be an English transport story. It will often have three English stories in its running order.
"That's great for the people of England but it is obviously not good for the people of Scotland on their main channel."
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon used social media to react to the news. She tweeted: "Lots to welcome in today's announcement. @scotgov has long argued for new BBC Scotland channel. Vital that it is funded well.
"Commitments to new investment and 80 additional jobs for journalists long overdue and very positive."
But she added: "It doesn't deliver everything that everyone wanted - e.g. no Scottish 6 disappointing - but progress and hopefully sign of new thinking."
Scottish Conservative culture spokesman Jackson Carlaw said the move was "good for jobs, journalism, scrutiny and programming".
He said: "It also ensures those who still prefer the UK-wide BBC news at 6pm, and other programming on BBC1, get to keep that too."
Scottish Labour's Lewis Macdonald also welcomed the move and criticised Nationalist politicians for their "interference in the BBC's impartiality".
Paul Holleran, Scottish organiser for journalists' union The NUJ, said it was a "shot in the arm" for Scottish journalism.
However, he said the amount of investment "falls well short" of what the BBC management and unions in Scotland were looking for.
Explaining the decision to retain the current BBC One news output, a BBC spokesman said the News at Six had performed strongly in Scotland in recent years.
He went on to say that the 9pm news slot on the new channel would offer the audience choice and quality and would provide comprehensive reporting of the news from a Scottish perspective.
Lord Hall said Scotland already made network programmes such as Shetland, Two Doors Down and Still Game but it needed to make more.
He said the additional £20m for making UK-wide programmes would be a "huge boost for BBC Scotland and for the creative industries in Scotland".
The director-general also announced £1.2m for Gaelic channel BBC Alba, taking its budget to £20m.
The proposals will be subject to approval by the BBC's new unitary board and possibly by Ofcom.
The announcement on Scottish funding followed the BBC saying an extra £8.5m a year would be spent on programmes made in Wales.
Plans for Northern Ireland will be announced shortly.
When she took over as BBC Scotland's new director in December, Donalda MacKinnon pledged to spend more licence fee funds raised north of the border on programming produced in Scotland.
In 2015/16, 55% of licence fee funds raised in Scotland was spent on local and Scottish network content.
The BBC's 2015/16 accounts showed £320m was raised from the licence fee in Scotland. Of that, £176.5m was spent on local content and Scottish-made BBC network output.
This was a sharp decline from the £203m spend the previous year, which was 63% of the £323m collected. The funds not spent locally go towards BBC programmes developed elsewhere and aired across the UK.
The new funding takes the percentage of the licence fee funds raised in Scotland and spent in Scotland to 68% - or 79% if the £35m spent on distribution costs, getting the programmes to the audience, is included.
In comparison, 95% of licence fee funds raised in Wales in 2015/16 were spent in Wales - including on network-wide programmes like Doctor Who, Sherlock, Casualty and Crimewatch - with the figure for Northern Ireland standing at 74%.


Indonesia has formally protested to China over what it says was an infringement of its waters.

On Saturday, an Indonesian patrol ship attempted to detain a Chinese fishing boat it says was fishing illegally in the Natuna Sea.
But it was prevented from doing so by the Chinese coastguard. Eight crew members of the fishing vessel Kway Fey were detained.
China claims most of the South China Sea where it has been building islands.
After meeting with Chinese embassy officials on Monday, Indonesia's Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said: "At the meeting we conveyed our strong protest (over)... the breach by the Chinese coastguard of Indonesia's sovereign rights."
China's acting charge d'affaires in Jakarta Sun Weide demanded the release of the crew, saying the incident occurred in "traditional Chinese fishing grounds".
Mr Sun told press "When it comes to fishery disputes, or maritime issues, China is always ready to work with Indonesia to solve these disputes trough negotiations and dialogue."
Unlike other South-east Asian countries, Indonesia is not involved in the territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
China accepts the Natuna islands and the seas around them belong to Indonesia, but the two sides have confronted one another there before, typically over illegal fishing.


The Kercher family have often said they may never know what happened to Meredith, who was 21 when she was found dead in the flat in Perugia she shared with Amanda Knox.

Known as Mez to her friends, Meredith saw her time in Italy as a dream trip. Her parents said she was excited about learning the language, meeting new friends and immersing herself in a different culture.
Miss Kercher had chosen the central Italian city for her exchange trip, over Milan and Rome because she believed it would be safer.
"She fought so hard to get out there," her father John has said.
"There were quite a few setbacks but she was determined to go and kept persisting and eventually got what she wanted."
But three months after leaving the University of Leeds to start her year-long exchange in Italy, she was found dead.
The European studies student was embarking on a course on modern history, political theories and history of cinema and had moved into a flat she rented with American Knox.
It was there that Italian police discovered her body - she had been stabbed to death.
Her flatmate and Rafaele Sollecito, Knox's then Italian boyfriend, were convicted of the murder in 2009.
At the time, prosecutors said the pair had been involved in a sex game with Miss Kercher that had gone wrong.
Prosecutors later alleged that the murder resulted from a heated argument over cleanliness in the Perugia apartment.
In 2011, an eight-member jury cleared both Knox and Sollecito of Miss Kercher's murder after doubts were raised over procedures used to gather DNA evidence and they were freed after four years in jail.
A retrial was ordered in 2013 after an appeal by prosecutors, who argued that important DNA evidence had been disregarded, and in 2014 the original guilty verdicts were reinstated.
But in March 2015, in a final ruling in the long-running case, Italy's top appeals court overturned the convictions again.
Miss Kercher was found in her bedroom, partially covered by a duvet. Her throat had been cut and the bedroom door was locked but the window had been broken.
She was, according to an Italian she was said to have dated, very different from her American flatmate.
"The two were like chalk and cheese - totally opposite in character," 24-year-old Giacomo Silenzi said.
"Meredith was calm, sweet and shy. Amanda was an extrovert and always showing off."
Described as sociable and loving by friends and family, Miss Kercher was often seen in photos smiling broadly.
She grew up in the suburb of Coulsdon, in the southern outer reaches of London.
Before heading north to university, she was educated at the Â£10,000-a-year private Old Palace School in nearby Croydon.
She was the youngest of four children, with older brothers John and Lyle and sister Stephanie.
The family have kept up a campaign to find out what happened in Perugia.
"It's very difficult being without my sister," Stephanie said in 2014 after hearing the news that Knox and Sollecito's guilty verdicts had been reinstated.
"There's so many things that happen that I want to tell her about or want to call her about."
She said at the time that she hoped the ruling would mean the end of their ordeal so her family could begin to "remember Meredith".
Only one person remains in jail for her sister's murder.
Rudy Guede, from the Ivory Coast, was sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2008 but that verdict included a ruling that he did not commit the crime alone.
And for the Kercher family, there is still no closure.
"I think we are still on a journey for the truth and it may be the fact that we don't ever really know what happened that night, which is obviously something we'll have to come to terms with," Stephanie Kercher said.


Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is through to the second round after beating Johanna Larsson 6-3 6-4.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 27-year-old Czech, playing only her third tournament since she was stabbed by an intruder at her home in December, started nervously and trailed early on.
She recovered to take the first set and was a break up in the second before Sweden's Larsson once again hit back.
However, 11th seed Kvitova broke again in the ninth game and saw out the win with an ace on her second match point.
"It was amazing to step out on Centre Court again," Kvitova told BBC Sport. "It was amazing to be back here and playing on this beautiful court - my favourite court.
"It was my motivation to come back and play at Wimbledon and I'm happy that my dream came true."
Kvitova suffered career-threatening injuries to her left hand in December's attack, but recovered quicker than expected to play at the French Open, where she lost to Bethanie Mattek-Sands in round two.
She capped her remarkable comeback by winning the Aegon Classic in Birmingham last month but then pulled out of Eastbourne with an abdominal injury.
"I'm still missing matches," she said. "It's practice that you can't get through training alone. You just need to play as many matches as you can.
"I was tight and nervous today and started badly with my serve, so need to improve that and my ground strokes. I hope with more matches, I will be better and better."

Kvitova's nerves were evident as Larsson, 28, broke her serve in the opening game of the match but she recovered to win six of the next seven games and take the first set.
Larsson fought hard in the second set too but Kvitova's blend of power hitting and deft drop shots eventually proved too much.
Prior to the tournament, Kvitova told BBC Sport that she had "won her fight" by simply being fit for Wimbledon. However, she is one of only two former champions in the women's singles draw - Venus Williams being the other - and so any further improvement could see her in contention for a third title.

In a wide open women's singles draw, second seed Simona Halep, a semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 2014, set down a marker with a comfortable 6-4 6-1 victory over New Zealand qualifier Marina Erakovic.
The Romanian, who lost to Jelena Ostapenko in this year's French Open final, needed just one hour 13 minutes to beat Erakovic, who released her debut record under the stage name Mad Era earlier this year.
Halep will face Beatriz Haddad Maia in the second round, after the Brazilian saw off Britain's Laura Robson 6-4 6-2.
Elsehwere, Ukraine's fourth seed Elina Svitolina, who squandered a big lead against Halep to lose in the quarter-finals at Roland Garros, began her campaign with a hard-fought 7-5 7-6 (10-8) win over Australia's Ashleigh Barty.
Former world number one Victoria Azarenka came from a set behind to beat Catherine Bellis 3-6 6-2 6-1 in her first Grand Slam match since the 2016 French Open, having given birth to son Leo in December.
American Bellis, 18, surged into a 3-0 lead and held her advantage to take the first set, before Azarenka, 27, did the same in the second to level the match.
The Belarusian then showed glimpses of the game that took her to two Australian Open titles in racing out to a 4-0 lead in the decider and rode a brief fightback from Bellis to wrap up a promising win as the light faded on Court One.
Azarenka will play 15th seed Elena Vesnina in round two after the Russian beat compatriot Anna Blinkova 6-4 5-7 6-2.
In contrast to Azarenka, Canada's Eugenie Bouchard - runner-up in 2014 - started strongly against 25th seed Carla Suarez Navarro, only to collapse to a 1-6 6-1 6-1 defeat.


From a giant billboard in the Salvadorean capital, a man with a defiant attitude shows off a slogan on his shirt: "No one can intimidate El Salvador," it reads.

The ad - part of a government-funded anti violence campaign - holds a special significance at the time when many worry that an overflow of Mexico's drug violence could soon hit this small Central American nation.
The first one to raise the alert was President Mauricio Funes himself, last April.
"We have information that they [the cartels] have entered El Salvador with exploratory purposes," President Funes said.
Because of what he described as the "effectiveness" of Mexican President Felipe Calderon's policies, the cartels were looking at new bases for their operations, he added.
Since then, security forces have been watching closely to see if criminal organisations like the Zetas - one of Mexico's most violent cartels - are deploying in Salvadorean territory.
The cartels' possible collusion - or confrontation - with local gangs is also being monitored.
Douglas Garcia Funes from the Salvadorean national police says intelligence suggests that gang members are already "being used by or are operatives for the transport of drugs and money towards the United States, passing through Mexico".
In a country with one of the highest murder rates in the world, this is a sobering scenario.
It could bring more chaos to an already violent country, many Salvadoreans say - and the government seems to be bracing for the worst.
"We are certainly worried, and that is why we want to act in a preventive manner," Hugo Martinez, El Salvador's foreign minister, told BBC News.
In pictures: Life inside an El Salvador jail
The presence of the gangs known as "maras", born among Salvadorean migrants in Los Angeles in the 1980s, is believed to be the largest contributor to those soaring rates.
Some estimates say that about 15,000 young men and women belong to one of the gangs. In some families, a third generation of gang members is now developing.
The maras have strong territorial control in some areas of the country and practice what they call "social cleansing" - they wipe out petty crime, but ask for money from locals in exchange for protection, and engage in widespread criminal activity.
A retired gang member, who prefers not to be named, says that belonging to a "mara" gives young, poor Salvadoreans a sense of vindication against the larger society.
"People are scared, are afraid of what a gang member can do, like stealing or killing," he says.
"That is what being part of a 'mara' is about."
The maras are not new to El Salvador, but an incident in June marked a turning point.
Gang members set fire to a small bus in the capital, killing 17 people. The government branded it a "terrorist act".
Soon afterwards, the government proposed a tough "anti-mara" bill that makes it a criminal offence to belong to a gang or contribute to gang finances by paying extortion fees.
In addition, more than 6,000 soldiers - almost half of the army's manpower - have been deployed in hotspots around the country including border crossings, jails and areas with a strong "mara" presence.
This tougher stance was seen by many as preparation for the threat of Mexican cartels moving in to El Salvador.
The person who knows most about violence in El Salvador may well be Israel Ticas, a forensic investigator from the security ministry.
He is the sole official in charge of the exhumation of bodies buried in clandestine graveyards by the gangs.
He has already unearthed more than 38 of these graves around the country - and he believes there are dozens more still to be found.
The walls of his office in the capital are covered with pictures of the bodies, many of them too hard to digest for a casual observer.
They show men and women tortured, beheaded, mutilated; the violence seems to reach unimaginable levels.
And, says Mr Ticas, the cruelty is only getting worse.
"In the last few years, the gangs have become more sophisticated" in the way they bury their victims, he says.
"They hide [the bodies] better and it is harder for us to find them - now they leave a beheaded body in one site and the head is buried five kilometres [three miles] away."
It is hard to imagine how violence in El Salvador could go any further - and that is why many fear that the arrival of foreign organised criminal groups would be a nightmare come true.


The EU has agreed on a system to share airline passenger details in a bid to improve counter-terrorism efforts.

The Passenger Name Record (PNR) system will allow access to passenger information including names, contact details and credit cards.
Details would be collected from European carrier flights entering or leaving the EU - as well as from those between member countries.
Security concerns were raised following the 13 November attacks in Paris.
What Paris means for Europe
The system would be "indispensable in the fight against terrorism", French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.
Luxembourg Interior Minister Etienne Scheider said: "The compromise agreed today will enable the EU to set up an effective PNR system which fully respects fundamental rights and freedoms.
"After so many years of debate, we have finally reached a deal."
The PNR system was first proposed in 2007, but lawmakers struggled to pass it because of privacy concerns.
A new sense of urgency was brought to the negotiations in the wake of the Paris attacks.


Inbetweeners actress Emily Head says she is "so excited" to join the cast of Emmerdale as Rebecca White.

The character is the "feisty" sister of Chrissie Sugden, played by Louise Marwood, and the daughter of Lawrence White (John Bowe).
She is set for a dramatic entrance to the ITV soap in October, with ITV saying "she will continue to raise tensions" for months to come.
Series producer Iain MacLeod said she was a "brilliant addition".
He added: "She's funny, feisty and flirtatious - she might turn your fella's head but, importantly, she has a good heart."
He said "Emily couldn't be more perfect for this role" and that there is already an "electric" chemistry on-set between her and the rest of the cast.
Rebecca is also the aunt of Lachlan White, played by Thomas Atkinson.
Head, daughter of actor Anthony Head, said: "I am really looking forward to joining the Emmerdale cast, and so excited to be the one to put a face to the name Rebecca White.
"I can't wait to see how the village reacts to her arrival."

Quique Sanchez Flores' final game as Watford manager was an entertaining draw with Sunderland at Vicarage Road.

Having secured their Premier League safety on Wednesday, Sunderland made nine changes and led when Jack Rodwell turned in Jeremain Lens' low cross.
Sebastian Prodl's header levelled for Watford just after the break before Lens drove in three minutes later.
Troy Deeney's penalty equalised again but the away side, who had two goals disallowed, held on for a point.
Relive Watford v Sunderland
Reaction to today's games
It was decided Flores would be leaving following talks with Watford's owners this week and he was given a warm send-off as he waved to fans after the final whistle.
The Spaniard has taken the club to 13th and Premier League safety since his appointment at the end of last season's promotion-winning campaign, not to mention a Wembley appearance in the FA Cup semi-finals.
But in a sign they are setting their sights on achieving far more, the Pozzo family are now looking for their seventh full-time manager since taking over in June 2012.
The Hornets could certainly have taken more from Sunday's game. Deeney converted from the spot after a foul by John O'Shea on Jose Jurado and momentum began to build once they drew level a second time.
Odion Ighalo was the prime culprit in missing a brilliant chance from close range with two minutes to play but in truth a Watford victory, despite their late surge, would have been harsh on Sunderland.
With a place in next season's Premier League secured at the expense of local rivals Newcastle, the Black Cats' travelling fans were in fine voice all afternoon.
Manager Sam Allardyce was seemingly in a relaxed mood too, handing senior debuts to three academy graduates in Rees Greenwood, Thomas Robson and George Honeyman, who came on in the second half.
The nine changes in Sunderland's side made for an unconvincing first half hour but as an overall performance this will provide Allardyce with plenty of food for thought in the off-season.
The fringe players and youngsters on show should perhaps have seen their lead doubled just before the break, when Duncan Watmore's low finish was ruled out for offside despite replays showing he was level.
But a point apiece was a fair result as Sunderland ensured they ended the campaign with one defeat in their final 11 games.
Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores: "My job is absolutely complete. The only target we had is to keep the team in the division and the way we did this was amazing.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We didn't suffer, we enjoyed it. We didn't suffer against the big teams. Always I feel we are in the right way. For me, 45 points is a lot for a team just promoted.
"The first year is the most difficult year because to build the squad during pre-season was difficult. Watford now is established in a good position so I think the normal thing for Watford next year is trying to improve the performance in the Premier League."
Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce: "If we had needed three points and only got one, we would be in serious trouble with the officials not giving us the onside goals. Thankfully those major decisions which we have no control over did not affect our status.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"The confidence will go into next season. All the players can come back with a spring in their step. We averaged two points per game over the last six games, that is top six stuff in the league.
"To think we had 12 points in six games, and only finished fourth from bottom, is a pretty miraculous total. Like next season, let's get 12 points in the first six games, not the last."

"Citizen scientists" are being asked to look out for signs of passion in the lugworm community.

Bangor University is asking beach walkers to help fill knowledge gaps about the environmental conditions required for Arenicola marina - or lugworms - to mate.
Experts say they spend their lives burrowed so opportunities to find a mate are limited.
They are a vital source of food for birds and fish and can be used as bait.
The males release sperm which collects on the surface of the sand - when the tide comes in, it is washed down into the burrows of the females and fertilises her eggs.
Specific environmental conditions are needed to trigger the release of the sperm and the egg at the same time and very little is known about the process.
One 'Spermwatch' event is being held at Llanfairfechan, Conwy county, on Saturday.


Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder following the sudden death of a two-year-old boy from a Dorset village.

Emergency services were called to an address in Broadmayne near Dorchester on 27 May after the boy was found to be seriously ill.
He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Dorset Police said a man and a woman, both aged 21 and from the Dorchester area, had been arrested.
Officers said a murder inquiry was launched following a post-mortem examination but have not revealed the cause of the toddler's death.
Insp Mike Darby said: "I appreciate the incident has impacted on this close-knit community, but it is important we understand the full circumstances surrounding the death.
"An investigation has been launched and there may be some police presence in the village while detectives carry out their investigations."


Head coach Vern Cotter insists Scotland are not going to Twickenham to merely try to contain England.

Eddie Jones' side go into the Six Nations match looking to equal New Zealand's world record of 18 straight Test victories.
However, Cotter says Scotland have enough attacking threats in their ranks to take the game to England.
"The players are keen when they get their hands on the ball to express themselves at Twickenham," said Cotter.
"I think that's a good attitude to have and attitude will determine a big part of the game.
"We know when we defend we'll have to defend resolutely."
Scotland sit third in the Six Nations table, having registered wins over Ireland and Wales either side of a narrow defeat by France in Paris.
The Scots, though, have not beaten England since 2008 and have the unenviable record of not winning at Twickenham since 1983.
Hamish Watson replaces the injured John Hardie in Scotland's only change from the win over Wales.
England have named the returning Billy Vunipola on the bench for Saturday's match, and Cotter admits the powerful Saracens number eight is just one of many strong options Jones can call upon late in the game.
"They [England] have a formula that is working well for them," said Cotter, who will be replaced by Gregor Townsend as head coach at the end of the season.
"They have a bench that is coming on and finishing games off in the last 10 minutes. It's something we're aware of.
"I think they'll comfortably move through the gears as the game goes on and finish in top speed and we've got to stay with them.
"We know more or less what's coming and it's just a matter of withstanding that."
Jones suggested in the aftermath of England's win over Italy that Scotland would be under increased pressure going into the Calcutta Cup match, with expectations raised among supporters after the wins over Ireland and Wales.
"Coaches have different characters and styles," added Cotter. "That's his and everybody has their own.
"I think Eddie's good fun, he's good company. I like having a chat with him outside of the game and in the game we both like to compete as best we can.
"Our players know they're going to have to give their best performance. During that 80 minutes we'll have to string together a number of excellent plays in attack and defence and to think clearly to get them to start adapting to our play.
"It hasn't been discussed a lot within the team, the Calcutta Cup, Triple Crown, nothing. All that has been discussed is content of the game and getting the content right. That's all this team is doing. Nothing else is being applied or talked about."


Thousands of people have joined peaceful protests in India's capital, Delhi, following the death of a woman who was gang-raped in the city.

The 23-year old woman, who has not been identified, died of her injuries on Saturday in Singapore, where she had been taken for specialist treatment.
Six men arrested in connection with the rape have now been charged with murder.
The attack on 16 December triggered violent public protests over attitudes towards women in India.
Two police officers have already been suspended.
The woman's body will be flown back to India for what is expected to be a private funeral.
By Soutik BiswasIndia correspondent
How India treats its women
On Saturday, police sealed off large parts of central Delhi close to government buildings, closed down a number of metro railway stations and asked people not to travel into the city.
Hundreds of armed police and riot troops are on duty and Delhi's police commissioner Neeraj Kumar has called on the public to remain calm.
Gatherings of more than five people have been banned in the city centre.
But some 4,000 people have gathered at the Jantar Mantar observatory, one of the areas of the city where protests are permitted, said the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in the city.
A large group staged a silent protest march through Delhi.
One protester, Poonam Kaushik, blamed the attack on "the government's inefficiency to ensure safety of women in Delhi" and said the woman's death would generate "even more anger".
One banner on display told politicians: "We don't want your condolences! We don't want your fake sentiments! We demand immediate action to strengthen the laws against sexual violence."
Delhi's Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit - who has described the death as a "shameful moment" for the country - arrived to speak to the protesters but was shouted down.
Protests have also been held in other cities, including Calcutta, Bangalore and Mumbai.
There has also been an angry reaction in the Indian media, with one editorial in the Times of India calling for wider changes in society and an awareness that as well as attacks on the street, there are "a thousand unheard voices" of women who face sexual violence at home.
In pictures: Delhi rape protests
Our correspondent says that over the past two weeks, the anonymous woman has became a symbol of a much larger cause than her own, with protesters focusing on the wider issue of how women are treated in India.
Even after her funeral, the sentiment will continue, he adds, with the public pushing the government to take steps to make people feel more confident about the way women are treated.
The Mount Elizabeth hospital in Singapore said the woman "passed away peacefully" early on Saturday with her family by her side.
Hospital chief executive Kelvin Loh said she had been in "an extremely critical condition" since arriving there, and had suffered severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain.
The Indian home minister said the government had decided to send the woman abroad for treatment on the recommendation of her doctors.
India's Home Affairs minister, Ratanjit Pratap Narain Singh, said he was "heartbroken" by her death.
Rape death prompts press anger
"I can only assure the family that the government will take whatever steps are needed to ensure that her killers get the harshest punishment in the quickest of time," he said.
"The government will work overtime to try and bring about laws and steps that will ensure that no other person, no other citizen of this country, has to go through or undergo the same kind of trauma."
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he was "very saddened" by the woman's death, and that the angry public reaction was "perfectly understandable".
"It would be a true homage to her memory if we are able to channel these emotions and energies into a constructive course of action," he said in a statement.
He called on politicians and the public to set aside "narrow sectional interest" and work together to make India "a demonstrably better and safer place for women to live in".
The woman - a medical student - and her friend had been to see a film when they boarded the bus in the Munirka area of Delhi, intending to travel to Dwarka in the south-west of the city.
Police said she was raped for nearly an hour, and both she and her companion were beaten with iron bars, then thrown out of the moving bus into the street.
The assault sparked angry protests about the general conditions for women in India, and about what is seen as an inadequate police response to rape allegations.
Officials have since announced a series of measures intended to make Delhi safer for women.
These include more police night patrols, checks on bus drivers and their assistants, and the banning of buses with tinted windows or curtains.
The government has also said that it will post the photos, names and addresses of convicted rapists on official websites to shame them.
It has set up two committees - one looking into speeding up trials of cases involving sexual assaults on women, and the other to examine the lapses that might have led to the incident in Delhi.
But the protesters say the government's pledge to seek life sentences for the attackers is not enough - many are calling for the death penalty.


Premier Inn is planning to open an 85-bedroom hotel in Bangor on the site of the town's old leisure centre.

The chain has submitted a planning application to Ards and North Down Borough Council and is targeting an early 2018 opening date.
The planned development is in partnership with the Magherafelt-based Conway Group.
It has worked on other Premier Inn developments in Lisburn and Londonderry.
Premier Inn is the UK's biggest hotel brand with more than 700 hotels across the UK and seven in Northern Ireland.
The firm's acquisitions manager Matt Aubrey said they had been looking for a suitable site in Bangor for a number of years.
He added that the development would represent an investment of Â£7m.
Conway Group is also planning to build 14 apartments on part of the site at Castle Park Avenue.


The jury in the trial of an ex-police officer accused of raping a schoolgirl has retired to consider its verdict.

Ex-PC Colin Hart, 61, from Nelson, Caerphilly county, has been charged with seven counts of indecent assault and one of raping a girl under 16.
He has denied the offences, alleged to have happened between 1988 and 1990.
Cardiff Crown Court heard he allegedly started assaulting the girl from the age of 12.
But Mr Hart claimed she was "at least 17" when a sexual relationship began in 1992.


The man who became known as the naked rambler has been jailed for five months for a breach of the peace.

Stephen Gough, 53, was seen walking unclothed near a children's play park in Dunfermline, Fife, on 20 July.
He was jailed after he told a court he would not co-operate with social workers tasked with assessing his mental health.
Gough has spent much of the past six years in prison on similar charges for being nude in a public place.
The former marine, from Eastleigh in Hampshire, was sentenced at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court, where he appeared naked in the dock.
Sheriff James Williamson had expressed concern about Gough's demeanour at a previous hearing.
He ordered social workers to produce a report assessing his emotional and mental health.
But on Thursday the sheriff told the rambler he had "no alternative" but to impose another custodial sentence after Gough refused to meet the officials and indicated he had no intention of doing so in the future.
A Crown Office spokesman said: "The actions of the accused made his arrest and prosecution necessary.
"Mr Gough intentionally caused shock and alarm to children and their parents.
"The evidence in this case clearly established that despite repeated police requests not to do so, he was determined to deliberately walk naked past a busy children's play-park in Fife.
"He knew that in doing so he would provoke anger and upset.
"The sheriff held that his conduct constituted the crime of breach of the peace."


League One side Leyton Orient have signed former Arsenal and Hull forward Jay Simpson on a free transfer.

The 25-year-old, who has spent the last year playing for Buriram United in Thailand, has agreed a three-year contract with the O's.
Simpson began his career with Arsenal but only made three senior appearances before joining Hull in 2010.
"It's a club that is going places and I want to be a part of it," Simpson told the Leyton Orient website.
Simpson scored seven goals in 47 games for Hull in 2012-13 before moving to Thailand last September. His move to east London is subject to international clearance.
The former England Under-18 international has also had loan spells at Millwall (twice), West Brom and QPR.
In total he has scored 35 goals in 187 league appearances in England.
Simpson is Leyton Orient's sixth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of goalkeepers Adam Legzdins and Gary Woods, defender Shane Lowry and midfielders Bradley Pritchard and Jobi McAnuff.


The editor of the Ceredigion Herald has pleaded not guilty to printing an article likely to identify the victim of a sex offence when they are automatically given lifelong anonymity.

The lawyer for Thomas Sinclair told Llanelli Magistrates' Court, Carmarthenshire, the article was not "likely" to identify the person.
Mr Sinclair, 37, from Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, denied breaching the Sexual Offences Act.
Judgement has been reserved until May.


A study of three mice that spent 91 days on the International Space Station has found abnormalities in their skin.

This is a record stay for any animal in space; due to their short lifespan it equates to about seven "mouse years".
The study is one of 20 experiments looking at various parts of the mice to measure the health effects of zero-g.
Using microscopes, scientists found the "astromice" had thinner skin than mice that had stayed on the ground, as well as changes to their muscles and hair.
The findings appear in the new journal NPJ Microgravity. Researchers say they are only preliminary, because of the very small sample size of three mice. But the observations are of interest because astronauts often report skin problems after long periods in space.
"If these were experiments on Earth, it would never have been accepted for publication because we had only three mice - but this is a unique experiment," said Dr Betty Nusgens from the University of Liege in Belgium, one of the study's authors.
She said it was difficult to extrapolate the findings to humans, but noted that other research had looked at human astronauts.
Nasa and other space agencies have overseen several such studies, including one called SkinCare, which looked at changes in the skin of German astronaut Thomas Reiter during his year on board the International Space Station (ISS) in 2006-7. Another, Skin-B, is currently underway.
Astronauts tend to experience increased skin irritation and find that minor wounds, such as scratches and abrasions, take longer to heal.
The mouse experiments were planned to look at these skin changes in microscopic detail.
Six mice were delivered to the ISS in August 2009 by the Discovery shuttle, in a specially built "Mouse Drawer System". This box, which held the mice in separate, secure cages, was installed on the space station for three months before returning to earth on the Atlantis shuttle in November.
The mice were fed and watered automatically and watched over by the ISS astronauts.
Three of the creatures survived the trip - the others falling victim to mishap or health complaints - and after landing, their various tissues and organs were collected by scientists involved in the 20 different studies.
Dr Nusgens and her colleagues got to work on three precious, small skin samples, which they compared with samples from three mice kept in a replica drawer system back on the ground, for the same period of time.
The outer skin layer of the space mice was thinner than that of the earth-bound control mice. There were also changes to the hair follicles.
"Hair grows and then stops growing - they rest and then they fall, this is the cycle," Dr Nusgens explained. "The cycle of the hair [in the space mice] was disturbed."
In particular, their hairs were in the opposite stage of the cycle from where they should have been - actively growing instead of resting.
"But we don't know how or why - we have no more experimental data to explain this problem," Dr Nusgens told BBC News.
Furthermore, this observation is less applicable to human astronauts, because our skin is only hairy in small sections.
Similarly, there were some changes to the layer of muscle lying directly under the skin - which is absent in humans.
"The main finding is that the skin of the mice that spent three months on the ISS became thinner than the control mice remaining on the ground," Dr Nusgens said.
Dr David Green is a senior lecturer in aerospace physiology at King's College London. He told the BBC that these experiments were particularly noteworthy because of their duration: never before has a non-human animal spent this long in zero-g.
"Ninety-one days for a mouse corresponds to about seven years for a human," Dr Green said.
And although the study is only small, it emphasises that skin health is "highly relevant" to human spaceflight, especially as we look towards longer missions such as manned flights to Mars.
"It suggests that the skin is sensitive to being in microgravity, and that over long periods of time that might create a dysregulation in the proliferation and the replacement of skin.
"One of the interesting things about skin is that we're constantly replacing it. Of course, the top layer is dead skin cells - but actually it's a highly active organ."
