Sweden says it is trying to help a Swedish-Turkish journalist held in Spain for the past six days.

Hamza Yalcin was arrested at Barcelona's El Prat airport on 3 August on an international arrest warrant requested by Turkey.
Sweden's foreign ministry says it has ensured he has a lawyer and is trying to arrange a prison visit.
His detention comes as Turkey faces criticism for its treatment of journalists after the 2016 failed coup.
In one of the most high-profile cases, 17 journalists from the leading Cumhuriyet daily are being tried on charges of aiding a terrorist organisation.
The Swedish foreign ministry said it was trying to clarify the charges against Mr Yalcin but Reporters without Borders (RSF), which campaigns for journalistic freedom, says Turkey accuses him of terrorism.
Turkish journalists in terror trial
Purged: The officers who cannot go home to Turkey
RSF accuses the Turkish government of using the state of emergency imposed following last year's attempted coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to suppress criticism of the government. Dozens of journalists have been detained.
The Turkish government has also carried out a crackdown on alleged coup supporters, with more than 150,000 state employees dismissed and some 50,000 people arrested.
Mr Yalcin has lived for decades in exile in Sweden where he edits a Turkish-language online publication, Odak, which is critical of the Ankara government.
Odak, which is campaigning for his release, says he has been sentenced and then acquitted twice by the Turkish courts for anti-government activity.
Separately, campaigning is under way in France for the release of French journalist Loup Bureau, who has been held in Turkey since 26 July.
He was picked up on the Turkey-Iraq border and pictures of the YPG Kurdish militia were found on his laptop, a Turkish security source told AFP news agency.
Turkey sees the YPG as an arm of the outlawed PKK, which has fought for decades for Kurdish autonomy in south-eastern Turkey.


Prince Charles has praised the "patient and painful work" to heal divisions at Northern Ireland's oldest peace and reconciliation centre.

The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall have visited the Corrymeela Centre, as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations.
It was the Royal couple's final engagement during their four-day trip to the island of Ireland.
Prince Charles said: "It is time that we become the subjects of our history and not its prisoners."
"We have all suffered too much. Too many peoples loved ones have been killed or maimed."
"Surely it is time that we become the subjects of our history and not its prisoners.  Surely too, through the roots of Corrymeela, we can discover lessons that can serve as a model to all who strive for peace."
Reconciliation has been a key theme of the prince's four-day visit.
He shook hands with Sinn FÃ©in leader Gerry Adams and visited the site in County Sligo where his great-uncle Lord Mountbatten was killed by the IRA.
The heir to the throne said Northern Ireland's role in ending conflict was a "shining example of what can be achieved" when people commit themselves to peace.
The Corrymeela Centre was founded in 1965 by Ray Davey, the first Presbyterian Dean of Queen's University in Belfast.
In his speech, Prince Charles described him as a "remarkable man".
"It was his vision, or this vision, that led him to establish a place where people of different backgrounds, different political and religious beliefs, could gather to break bread, to work together and talk about the hurts which are too difficult to bear in silence."
'Home for peace'
Colin Craig of the Corrymeela Centre said it has been an emotional visit for the prince.
"In his own life, when he has suffered bereavement, it acts as a deep symbolism for what we're trying to work for, in our 50th year, that the work is still ongoing," he said.
"We need to keep the inspiration that Corrymeela can offer in people's lives."
Corrymeela works with about 11,000 people a year at its residential centre in Ballycastle, County Antrim.
It was opened by former Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, Terence O'Neill.
Some of the centre's work with families and young people over the last few years has been supported by a fund set up by Countess Mountbatten, in memory of her son Nicholas who was also killed in the August 1979 attack at Mullaghmore.
During their stay in Northern Ireland, the Royal couple also visited Mount Stewart house and gardens in County Down.
The Prince of Wales is president of the National Trust, and their visit marks the completion of a three-year restoration programme supported by local volunteers.


Ireland booked their place in the World Rugby Under-20 Championship semi-finals by beating 14-man Georgia 35-7 on Wednesday to finish top of Pool A.

The Georgians, appearing in their first tournament, led 7-0 early on but had flanker Ilia Spanderashvili sent off after just eight minutes.
Irish winger Hugo Keenan had just scored when the red card was issued and his side led 20-7 at the break.
Ireland go through to the last four for only the second time ever.
They will face Argentina in the semi-finals on Monday.
Georgia raced ahead as scrum-half Vasil Lobzhanidze touched down after a line-out maul, with out-half Davit Modzgvrishvili converting to put the Georgians 7-0 up after just six minutes.
But Ireland took control soon after as Keenan raced through to score his first try of the tournament.
In the build-up, Craig Evans consulted with the TMO after instruction from his touch judge and flanker Spanderashvili was found to have kicked out at Irish second-row Sean O'Connor and Evans produced a red card.
Jonny McPhillips converted the try to bring Ireland level on points with nine minutes played.
The fly-half kicked two penalties in quick succession after Keenan's try as Ireland looked to make the most of their numerical advantage.
And McPhillips continued his scoring exploits as he grabbed Ireland's second try of the contest four minutes before the break, which he converted to give Ireland a commanding 20-7 lead.
A 54th-minute penalty from McPhillips further stretched the lead and Terry Kennedy notched the third try a few minutes later.
It took Ireland until the final play of the match to secure the bonus point victory as replacement Andrew Porter crossed and full-back Brett Connon converted to round off the victory.
Nigel Carolan's squad had stunned holders New Zealand on Saturday in Manchester to put themselves in line for a semi-final spot.
The success was their first ever win over New Zealand at an age-group world championship and helped them emerge winners of Pool A.
Head coach Carolan made 13 changes to the side that defeated New Zealand 33-24 for their final group game against Georgia at the Manchester City Academy Stadium.
Ireland defeated this season's Grand Slam winners Wales 26-25 in their opening game last week.


A man has been jailed for 14 months after being caught by masked paedophile hunters when he went to a "sting".

Leslie Turner, 54, of Cromwell Hill, Luton, pleaded guilty at Luton Crown Court to attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming.
He thought he was meeting a 14-year-old girl for sex but instead was met by three people who had set up a fake internet profile to catch paedophiles.
Police have urged the public not to take the law into their own hands.
Luton Crown Court heard Turner believed he was going to Luton railway station to meet a teenager called Lisa Fisher, but she had been created by people purporting to be from a group called the Anonymous Network.
Prosecutor Neil King said they were "members of the public who are trying to discover members of the public who are paedophiles".
During Facebook chats, Turner told the fake girl he was old enough to be her grandfather and made the first reference to sex by asking her about her favourite position.
The "girl" also sent him two indecent photographs.
He arranged to meet her in July, promising her he would not pressurise her into having sex.
When he arrived, he was met by Neil Ivall and two women wearing Guy Fawkes' masks, who detained him and seized his phone. He was then arrested.
Defence barrister Ross Talbott said Turner was a "lonely individual who was having online relationships".
Bedfordshire Police's Alex House said: "While we are pleased that this case has resulted in a potential offender being locked up, we would urge people to never take the law into their own hands."
Turner must register as a sex offender for 10 years and abide by an order which bans him having contact with children in person or over the internet.


A price cap to help consumers who use "rent-to-own" firms to buy goods is a possibility, the head of the City regulator has said.

Andrew Bailey, the chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), said a cap would be considered as part of its inquiry into high-cost credit.
Up to 400,000 people use rent-to-own firms to buy household appliances, paying the money back over three years.
After interest, they can end up paying three times the original price.
It follows a call for a cap from Citizens Advice, which said restrictions imposed on payday lenders two years ago had been a success.
Citizens Advice also said there was a lack of affordability checks in the industry, meaning that people signed up to agreements they could not afford.
And it said that rent-to-own firms did not always take a flexible approach when shoppers got into debt.
However, BrightHouse, the biggest rent-to-own firm, accused Citizens Advice of producing a "misleading" and "inaccurate" report.
The FCA said that it would be prepared to consider a cap in the rent-to-own market, but added that in the case of the payday loan sector it had been a "last resort".
"The price cap is very much the thing we do when all other price measures don't look very promising," Andrew Bailey, chief executive of the FCA, told the BBC.
"So we would start elsewhere, and work our way through the possible remedies."
Total paid (including credit):  £1,170               Source: BrightHouse
Since January 2015, the FCA has imposed a cap on the amount that payday lenders are allowed to charge their customers.
Loan repayments are limited to no more than 0.8% per day of the amount they borrowed, and in total no one should pay back more than twice the original sum.
Since the introduction of that cap, Citizens Advice says that the number of people with payday loan debt problems has halved.
So it wants similar controls on the rent-to-own market.
"There ought to be some kind of cap on the cost to the individual of the item they are buying, so they know right up front how much they are going to pay," said Gillian Guy, the chief executive of Citizens Advice.
In the 18 months since the cap was introduced, about 800,000 fewer people took out payday loans, according to the FCA.
Citizens Advice also wants to see new rules that would require rent-to-own firms to do more thorough affordability checks.
Dawn North, from Port Talbot in South Wales, is a regular customer of such firms, and has fallen behind with payments.
"They didn't really do a credit check," she said.
"All they wanted was your income and what your expenditure was."
She showed the BBC a washing machine, which she said cost £300 in the shops. However, because she has fallen behind with payments, she calculates she will end up paying as much as £3,000 in total.
But BrightHouse, the biggest of three rent-to-own firms in the UK, rejected the claims made by Citizens Advice.
"We dispute the findings of this misleading, deeply flawed and inaccurate report," a spokesperson for BrightHouse said.
"Having worked closely with the FCA, BrightHouse's affordability checks are some of the most thorough in the financial services industry."
"Should BrightHouse customers be in difficulty, we have a wide range of options including the flexibility for them to return the product at any time without owing anything further."
It said all agreements were subject to a 14-day cooling-off period.
The FCA is now asking for evidence for its inquiry into all forms of "high cost" credit, including overdraft charges and logbook loans.
It will also review the payday loan cap, two years after it came into force.
Mr Bailey told the BBC that catalogue lending and pawnbroking would also be considered.
It is important that people can still have access to credit, but the FCA wants them to have it "on terms that are fair to them", he said.


Hartlepool United's 96-year stay in the Football League ended as they were relegated despite battling back to beat Doncaster Rovers, who missed out on the League Two title on the final day.

Two Devante Rodney goals looked to have kept Hartlepool up, but Mark O'Brien's late winner for Newport County in their game saved the Welsh club instead.
Andy Williams had put Rovers ahead before United's stunning fightback.
But O'Brien's 89th-minute Newport goal sent Hartlepool to the National League.
Needing to win and hope Newport failed to beat Notts County to survive, Hartlepool's decisive day began badly when James Coppinger's first-half cross was eventually turned in by Williams from close range as defender Carl Magnay sliced his clearance.
With Newport winning at that stage, Hartlepool looked doomed, before an equaliser for Notts County at Rodney Parade lifted the Teesside club.
And Hartlepool's hope turned to ecstasy as 18-year-old substitute Rodney slotted in his first two senior goals in quick succession to temporarily lift United above the drop zone.
But, as the game moved into stoppage-time, news of Newport's late twist brought despair to the Victoria Park faithful.
Defeat saw already-promoted Doncaster, who had needed to better Plymouth's result to finish top, fail to capitalise on Argyle's draw and they eventually finished third, as Portsmouth leapfrogged both their rivals to win the title.
While an extraordinary finish at Rodney Parade was ultimately what sent Pools down, their undoing began much earlier in their campaign.
Hartlepool had won just two of their past 10 games when manager Craig Hignett was sacked in January after 11 months in charge.
Despite that poor run, Pools were seven points clear of the relegation zone when they named former Wolves, Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff boss Dave Jones as their new boss - an appointment that was described as a "no-brainer" and "a real coup for the football club".
But just 13 points were taken out of a possible 51 in his disastrous 17 games in charge, leaving Pools two points adrift of safety when he was dismissed on 24 April, less than 48 hours after club president and Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling issued a message for Jones to leave during a live television broadcast.
Defender Matthew Bates was placed in charge for the final two games of the season, with striker Billy Paynter and coaches Stuart Parnaby and Ian Gallagher forming the rest of a makeshift coaching team.
But, after losing at then-relegation-rivals Cheltenham on the penultimate weekend, they were unable to stop Pools dropping out of the EFL for the first time since 1921.
Hartlepool caretaker boss Matthew Bates told BBC Tees:
"I was trying to keep a level head but it was difficult with the results coming in.
"There was nothing wrong with the performance. They went 1-0 up and we had to regroup, but we did and came back at them.
"It was all positive in the dressing room at half-time. The shackles were off and there was no pressure so make yourself heroes.
"We needed to get the fans onside and we did with our performance. I have learned if you give the fans everything on the pitch they will stick by you.
"We got relegated but the fans stayed behind and clapped us off they showed their appreciation but ultimately is that right or wrong?
"The players have been magnificent in the past two weeks. It has been humbling."

US President Donald Trump "believes the climate is changing and he believes pollutants are part of the equation," says the US ambassador to the UN.

He knows "the US has to be responsible for it and that's what we're going to do," said Nikki Haley.
The president provoked widespread condemnation when he announced on Thursday the US would withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement.
The US becomes one of only three countries outside its framework.
When he made the announcement, Mr Trump said the deal would hurt the US economy. He made no mention of climate change science.
During his election campaign, Mr Trump had said that climate change was a hoax and, since his announcement on Thursday,  has avoided questions on the subject, as has White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
"Just because the US got out of a club doesn't mean we aren't going to care about the environment," Ms Haley told CNN, adding that the terms of the Paris agreement, reached in 2015, were "too onerous".
Scott Pruitt, the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency, said: "The world applauded when we joined Paris. And you know why? I think they applauded because they knew it would put this country at a disadvantage."
Mr Trump said the agreement would cost the US $3tn (£2.3tn) in lost GDP and 6.5 million jobs - while rival economies like China and India were treated more favourably.
The president is "absolutely intent on making sure that we have clean air, clean water, that he makes sure that we're doing everything we can to keep America's moral compass in the world when it comes to the environment," said Ms Haley.
Only war-torn Syria and Nicaragua, which believes the accords don't go far enough, failed to sign the Paris agreement.
China, the EU and India, which along with the US make up the four biggest emitters of carbon dioxide, have restated their commitment to the accord.
"The protection of the environment and the mother planet is an article of faith," said India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after meeting France's President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Saturday.
The Paris agreement committed countries to keeping rising global temperatures "well below" 2C (3.6F) above pre-industrial levels and "endeavour to limit" them even more, to 1.5C.
The World Meteorological Organisation said that, in the worst scenario, the US pullout could add 0.3C to global temperatures by the end of the century.
France and India are members of the International Solar Alliance, set up following the Paris agreement, which aims to generate $1tn of investment in solar power by 2030.
Climate change, or global warming, refers to the damaging effect of gases, or emissions, released from industry, transportation, agriculture and other areas into the atmosphere.
The Paris accord is meant to limit the global rise in temperature attributed to emissions.
Countries agreed to:
Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies says the world's average temperature has risen by about 0.8C since 1880, two-thirds of that since 1975.
US think tank Climate Interactive predicts that if all nations fully achieve their Paris pledges, the average global surface temperature rise by 2100 will be 3.3C, or 3.6C without the US.


An aircraft has returned safely to Aberdeen International Airport after reporting a problem shortly after taking off.

The Atlantic Airlines cargo flight left Aberdeen on Monday evening, and had been scheduled to fly to East Midlands Airport.
But it declared an emergency a short time later and returned to Aberdeen, where it landed safely at about 20:20.
It is not yet known what caused the plane to turn back.


An anti-fracking campaigner who failed to comply with the courts has been spared a £55,000 legal bill.

Tina Rothery was fined after taking part in a three-week protest at a field in Lancashire, which was earmarked for shale gas exploration, in 2014.
She initially refused to provide her financial details "on principle" and was found in contempt of court.
A hearing earlier heard she had no money or assets. Energy firm Cuadrilla decided not to pursue costs.
The mother-of-one said she was "delighted" as she left Preston Crown Court to the cheers of 150 fellow protestors.
Ms Rothery was hit with the £55,000 bill after opposing an injunction by the company and landowners while occupying land near Blackpool.
The activist told earlier hearings she would defend her actions, but then failed to provide a defence at subsequent hearings.
She was fined for wasting court time and was further found in contempt after declining to provide the court with details of how she would pay the bill.
The 54-year-old eventually complied after being warned she could face a 14-day prison sentence.
Cuadrilla said it would not pursue costs while she "clearly has no assets to make any payment."
Prior to the hearing, Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood called on the company to drop the case.


India's Supreme Court has suspended a law that would have banned the sale of cattle for slaughter nationwide.

The government order aimed to "prevent uncontrolled and unregulated animal trade" at livestock markets.
For the first time the sale for slaughter of buffaloes and camels as well as cows, which Hindus consider holy, would have been illegal.
It would have had a major impact on the meat and leather industries and hit livelihoods, the chief justice said.
These industries are dominated by minority Muslims and the proposed law was widely opposed.
The new law had already been stayed by a lower court in the southern state of Tamil Nadu on 30 May, days after it was first announced.
The top court said the Madras high court's interim order, which lapsed on 8 July, would continue and remained in force across the country.
The government is now expected to make changes and resubmit amendments to the law by the end of August.
Cows are considered holy by India's majority Hindu population and slaughtering them is already banned in most but not all states, but this would have been the first time buffaloes had been included in a slaughter ban.
Most of India's beef comes from water buffaloes rather than cows. With annual exports worth $4bn (Â£3.1bn), India is the largest exporter of beef, mostly buffalo meat, in the world.
Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar said in his order that "the livelihood of people should not be affected by this".
Petitioners in Tamil Nadu had argued that the ban infringed their right to choose what they ate.
Abdul Faheem Qureshi, the head of the Muslim All India Jamiatul Quresh Action Committee that supports meat sellers, who had lodged the petition with the Supreme Court, told Reuters news agency that the order was a "victory".
Many states have actively started enforcing bans on cow slaughter after the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party formed India's federal government in 2014.
The western state of Gujarat passed a law in March making the slaughter of cows punishable with life imprisonment. In addition to government bans, vigilante groups who portray themselves as protectors of cows have been active in several states.
In some cases, these groups have killed Muslim men they suspect of killing cows. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who said last year that cow vigilante groups made him "angry", said again in June that killing in the name of cow protection was "not acceptable".
However, this has not stopped attacks against cattle traders.
Mr Modi's critics say the new law is aimed at appeasing India's Hindu community.


The number of people complaining about their current accounts jumped by a third in the first half of the year, the financial regulator has said.

There were 506,326 such complaints between January and June, a rise of 31.2% on the previous year.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) warned the banks to take action to address the problems.
But the industry said it had already stepped up efforts to reduce the number of unhappy customers.
Many have been complaining specifically about packaged accounts, which include insurance policies.
Banks charge a monthly fee for such accounts, but some people say they have been signed up without their permission - or have found the insurance products worthless.
"This is the second half-year running that we have seen complaints about banking products rise," said Christopher Woolard, the FCA's director of strategy and competition.
"It is clear that firms need to look at the causes for this rise, and where necessary take action to address the causes of the trend."
Last month the Financial Ombudsman Service - which handles complaints that cannot be resolved - said that the number of people unhappy about their packaged accounts had "shot up".
It said it was handling 1,000 complaints a week.
In the first half of 2015, Barclays received the most complaints about banking and credit cards - more than 140,000.
NatWest Bank received nearly 96,000.
In response, the banking industry said it was reacting quickly to the increase in the number of complaints concerning packaged accounts.
"Banks have redoubled their efforts to ensure that any packaged account bought by a customer is right for their individual needs," said a spokesperson for the British Banking Association (BBA).
The total number of complaints about financial services firms fell by 2.1% in the first half of 2015, due to fewer complaints about Payment Protection Insurance (PPI).


The death of an Illinois police officer that set off a massive manhunt in September has been ruled a suicide.

Lt Charles Gliniewicz radioed to say he was chasing three suspects and was later found struck by two gunshots.
Authorities now say that this was a ploy, staged by the officer who had been stealing money from the department's youth programme for years.
Officers from about 50 Chicago-area police departments scoured the area for the three men for days to no avail.
Gliniewicz, a US Army veteran who often went by the nickname "GI Joe", radioed dispatchers to say that he was in a running chase after three suspicious men.
When other officers arrived, he was found dead about 50 yards (46m) from his patrol car.
In the wake of the incident, he was heralded as a hero who died while on the job - fuelling debate about the use of force by police.
In October, investigators said that the 52-year-old officer had been killed with his own weapon. They arrested three men captured on a home security video system, but all were released.
Gliniewicz was hit by two bullets. The first hit his bullet-proof vest with what an official said was the force of a "sledgehammer". The other punctured his upper chest.
The lead investigator in the matter said that Gliniewicz had been stealing and laundering money from the police department's youth development programme, which he led.
The investigator said that the stolen money was used for mortgage payments, travel, personal purchases and more.
The officer's family has dismissed the suggestion of suicide. One of his four children, DJ, said his dad "never once" thought of taking his own life, and noted that his dad was excited for retirement.


Bottom side Inverness CT drew a blank with Partick Thistle in the Scottish Premiership.

The visitors started well with Ade Azeez and Chris Erskine drawing fine saves from Owain Fon Williams.
Liam Polworth, Iain Vigurs and Aaron Doran threatened for Inverness and Carl Tremarco had two efforts narrowly off target.
Chances dried up as the match wore one, with Inverness going level on points with Hamilton Academical.
Hamilton remain ahead of Caley Thistle on goal difference while Partick Thistle move above Ross County into sixth.
Richie Foran had set out his stall and described the match as one his Inverness side had to win.
Closer analysis of that might suggest he meant in order to achieve his aim of a top-six finish this season, perhaps not how it was widely interpreted.
His side did look nervy and hesitant at times early on but the first-half withdrawal of Lonsana Doumbouya for Iain Vigurs made them appear more competitive.
Overall they did not generate enough sustained pressure to feel deserving of the points, although substitute Doran had a fantastic chance late on which he curled just wide.
One positive was a much-needed clean sheet. Another is they can overtake Hamilton when they meet on Tuesday. That game now becomes vital.
The Caley Thistle goalkeeper has been criticised recently after conceding soft goals against Elgin City and Hamilton.
Against Partick, he was crucial for his side and kept them level as the Glasgow side looked very strong.
Azeez must have been planning his celebration as he fired in from close range but Fon Williams got a fabulous touch which took the ball on to the bar. He really had no right to keep it out.
Moments later he produced another wonderful save to deny Erskine, who had curled in from distance.
Clean sheets have been sorely lacking for Inverness and Fon Williams produced to give them that chance, with the keeper also denying Ryan Edwards.
It was a good all-round display from Alan Archibald's side and they will feel they might have got more.
Most impressive was their ability to control periods of the match and build pressure.
They limited Inverness to few chances with Tremarco the main threat.
Partick, with new signing Niall Keown in defence, look strong, they are on a good run of consistent results and seem to have the confidence to keep that run going.
Inverness CT manager Richie Foran: "I'm delighted with the point. The players were out on their feet. We had Greg Tansey and Gary Warren up all night with a vomiting bug getting sick.
"They've had injections before the game to help with that. It's a big point for us. I'm delighted with the point with the boys struggling with injuries and sickness.
"It's probably a fair result. Going into the game I probably would've taken that point.
"It's too early to talk about a relegation fight. Our aim is top six, we're six points away from top six. I fully believe we'll get there."
Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald: "I thought we played a lot of good stuff, moved the ball well. It took a great save from their goalkeeper to stop us going ahead in the first half.
"We maybe just edged it, it was that final ball that was just a wee bit slack at times. It's a hard place to come and we're delighted with the clean sheet.
"We played against a determined Caley Thistle team that were desperate to go and win the game. We're a bit disappointed not to get the victory and go nine points clear of them but we've got a home game on Wednesday [against St Johnstone]."

Winger Carlos de Pena has left Middlesbrough after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

The Uruguayan, 25, was signed from Nacional two years ago but made just six league appearances for Boro, three of them as a substitute.
He ended last season on loan at Spanish second-tier side Real Oviedo, where he played seven times and scored once.
Boro say they have decided to end his contract in order to help him find a new club.


A woman involved in a multi-million pound foreign exchange scam has been told to pay more than £850,000 to her victims.

Susan Benstead, 72, was given a two-year suspended jail term for money laundering in June 2015 for her part in the Crown Currency fraud.
She has now been ordered to pay £868,580 in a proceeds of crime hearing at Southwark Crown Court.
A hearing is under way for the former mayor of Glastonbury, Edward James.
More on the Crown Currency scammer, and other Cornwall news
Crown Currency collapsed in October 2010, owing clients a total of £20m.
Up to 12,500 people are believed to have lost money, the court heard.
Benstead's trial at the same court in 2015 heard she used £900,000 of customers' money to buy a luxury home in Cornwall.
Her husband Peter, 72, killed himself during the trial.
She and James were two of five people found guilty of offences connected to Crown Currency's collapse.
Crown Currency, based in Hayle, was one of the UK's largest personal currency exchange businesses.
It allowed individuals and business customers to pre-order foreign exchange at a set price up to a year in advance.
It provided money in 80 currencies, as well as travellers' cheques and money transfers.


Six-time Olympic cycling gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy was given the lifetime achievement award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

The Scot, 38, was honoured at the SSE Hydro arena in Glasgow.
"It's very hard not to get emotional when you hear amazing words from people you respect and get this amazing reception," said Hoy.
"I never thought I'd see my name alongside Sir Steve Redgrave, David Beckham and Seve Ballesteros."
He added: "I became a dad eight weeks ago. He was in hospital for eight weeks and finally came out last week and we got him home.
"I'm sure he'll be watching it on telly."
Four-time Olympic cycling gold medallist Sir Bradley Wiggins has paid tribute to the 11-time world champion.
"He is the marker for everybody else because he was, in some ways, the model athlete off the bike as well as on it," said Wiggins, the 2012 Sports Personality of the Year after winning the Tour de France.
"He's right up there, not only for British athletes but in terms of world athletes. I put Chris up there with the Usain Bolts of this world."
Hoy was the first British Olympian for 100 years to claim three golds at one Games at Beijing in 2008, having won his first Olympic title in Athens four years earlier and a silver at Sydney 2000.

The track cyclist from Edinburgh picked up the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in 2008 following his hat-trick and was given a knighthood in the New Year Honours list.
At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Hoy claimed his fifth and sixth gold medals - the most won by a British athlete in Olympic history.
He also secured two gold and two bronze medals for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.
Barbara Slater, BBC Sport director, welcomed the award for Hoy, who has turned his attention to motor racing since his retirement from cycling in 2013.
"As a former BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner, Sir Chris Hoy has been a tremendous ambassador for sport and, although he has retired from cycling, he continues to be an inspiration to young athletes," she said.
"It's fantastic that he is not only being recognised for his exceptional achievements, but also that it is being awarded to him in his home country."


In our series of letters from African journalists, Mannir Dan Ali, editor-in-chief of Nigeria's Daily Trust paper, looks at why the Nigerian president is finding it hard to please anyone.

Muhammadu Buhari's second coming as Nigeria's president one-and-a-half years ago was greeted with a lot of hope and excitement.
There was a collective sigh of relief when he took over from the lacklustre Goodluck Jonathan, who symbolised everything that was wrong with the then ruling party.
Eighteen months down the line, many Nigerians are openly asking whether the 73-year-old president has what it takes to lead Africa's most populous state, given the enormous challenges that the country faces.
While the president has gained some kudos for his efforts to tackle corruption and for the fact that the military now has the upper hand in the fight against militant Islamist group Boko Haram, which at one point held large swathes of territory in the north-east, little success has been recorded in other areas.
As President Buhari has said, he had the misfortune of coming to power at a time when very low oil prices meant the import-dependent and oil revenue-reliant country was paying a high price for its expensive habits.
"Nearly halfway into his four-year term, Mr Buhari is yet to make some key appointments to drive his vision"
Nigerian leaders, and especially Mr Jonathan's government, never planned for the vagaries of oil prices, which have plummeted from more than $100 (£79) a barrel in 2014 to just above $30.
Mindless corruption ensured that the extra income was carelessly spent and even money allocated for purchasing arms to counter Boko Haram's insurgency was allegedly pocketed by individuals or diverted to political campaigns.
Mr Buhari admitted he felt like absconding from the job when he found how bad the situation was when he took office in May 2015.
Having won the election on his fourth attempt, Nigerians expected the former military ruler to have an idea or two about how to fix the country's main challenges: Poor infrastructure, lack of electricity and high unemployment.
Now some of his supporters are beginning to lose patience.
Even his wife took the unprecedented step of criticising him publicly in a BBC interview where she said she might not support him again if he ran for another term in 2019.
Nearly halfway into his four-year term, Mr Buhari is yet to make some key appointments to drive his vision.
It took him six months to assemble a cabinet and, eight months after the death of one government minister, that post remains vacant.
With many key officials yet to be replaced, there is an air of tentativeness in the operations of many government departments.
It is in the area of the economy that there is even more dissatisfaction given the recession that the country is experiencing.
The unofficial devaluation of the local currency, the naira, higher food prices and job losses have all made life more difficult for families. Many people just manage to have a meal a day.
The following phrase trended among Nigerians on social media recently: "We are no longer asking President Buhari to develop Nigeria. At this point we are only asking him to return Nigeria to the state it was before he became president."
Concern was raised about the doubling of the price of food items and the more than 50% fall in the value of the naira.
Similarly, the business community and those with knowledge of the economy are unimpressed with some of his key economic advisers and the direction they are taking.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who supported Mr Buhari's election but who has a reputation for sounding like a one-man opposition party, has come out to oppose some of the economic policies of the government, such as the idea of borrowing about $30bn.
"If we do not fix the economy to relieve the pain and anguish of many Nigerians, the gain in fighting the insurgency and corruption will pale into insignificance... Economy neither obeys orders nor does it work according to wishes," Mr Obasanjo said.
"It must be worked upon with all factors considered and most stakeholders involved. The investors, domestic and foreign, are no fools and they know what is going on with the management of the economy, including the foreign exchange, and they are not amused," he added.
As things stand now most Nigerians are hoping that President Buhari and his team will get their act together to pull the country out of its biggest economic downturn since the return to civil rule in 1999 - and prove that it was not a mistake to invest so much hope in the man who promised to fix the limping giant of Africa.

The amount of corporation tax companies pay is "a question of judgement", Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of global advertising group WPP, has said.

Sir Martin argued that companies such as Google and Starbucks pay tax more out of a sense of corporate social responsibility, than because the law forces them to.
"Doing good is good business," he said.
WPP has just moved its headquarters back to London from Dublin, reversing a move it made for tax reasons in 2008.
Sir Martin moved WPP's tax domicile to Ireland in protest at the potential "double taxation" of corporate profits proposed by the then Labour government.
When the new coalition government dropped the plans, Sir Martin agreed to relocate the group back to London.
Sir Martin's comments, made in an interview with BBC News, come after a public outcry was sparked by revelations that multinational companies such as Starbucks, Google and Amazon paid little or no UK corporation tax.
Starbucks subsequently said it would pay "a significant amount" of extra tax in 2013 and 2014, possibly as much as £20m, "regardless of whether the company is profitable".
In response, HM Revenue and Customs said corporation tax "is not a voluntary tax".
As companies only pay corporation tax on profits made in this country, there were accusations that multinationals moved parts of their operations abroad in order to try to reduce the amount of tax they pay in the UK.
Sir Martin argued that in a globally inter-dependent world, where some companies operate in hundreds of countries, firms interested in building long-term brands would not "do things that will upset consumers".
He pointed out that Starbucks had negotiated the additional corporation tax payment with HMRC. "They didn't do anything underhand at all," he told the BBC.
When asked what the right model should be on corporation tax, he replied, "The right model is you make a contribution.
"All contributions you make to your stakeholders are a question of judgement.
"There are the rules," he said. "If then companies choose... in terms of building their long-term brands to make a contribution to all the stakeholders, all credit to them."
Late last year, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said paying tax was an obligation: "It is not something you can just chose to do willy nilly because you think it will please your customers."
In a wide-ranging interview, Sir Martin forecast that WPP would see 2%-3% global growth in 2013, with "significant double-digit growth" coming from China.
But he warned that the environment would remain hostile for businesses everywhere.
"It's been a very gruelling year and next year is going to be more of the same. You're in the trenches and it's hand-to-hand combat. Corporates are not happy bunnies at the moment."
Corporate balance sheets were generally healthy, he said, but bosses were reluctant to invest because of uncertainty over a number of issues, namely:
These "known unknowns" he dubbed "grey swans", in a reference to Nicholas Nassim Taleb's book "The Black Swan", about the nature of unpredictability.
WPP's investment in 2013 would be directed mostly towards high-growth economies, such as Colombia, South Korea, and Vietnam, he said.
"We'll go where the growth is," he said.
On the subject of corporate pay, Sir Martin admitted that consultation over his proposed £6.8m pay deal had been badly handled in 2012, but he argued: "If we want world leaders... we have to be competitive. Pay levels within our company have to be competitive with our competition."
WPP operates in 110 countries, has 163,000 employees and is the largest marketing communications group in the world.
Its well-known brands include Young & Rubicam, Hill & Knowlton, and Ogilvy.


(Open): London's FTSE 100 started higher on Tuesday.

Outsourcing firm Capita was the leading gainer, up by 4% after a reassuring trading statement.
The company, which in February warned of lower margins, said it was on track to meet expectations for 2016 revenue growth. The statement was described as "unusually numbers light" by one broker.
The FTSE 100 was up 38.92 points at 6,153.73.
Shares in Easyjet, which reported a loss - largely thanks to adverse currency movements - fell 0.4% after its gain of 3.8% on Monday.
There was the usual volatility in mining stocks. On Monday the index was dragged down by these with Anglo American losing 13.8%. Morning Tuesday trade sees them recover 3.4%.
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.21% against the dollar to $1.4438 but was flat against the euro to â‚¬1.2669.


Health Minister Michelle O'Neill has promised legislation to protect mothers who breastfeed in public.

Mrs O'Neill said she had spoken to mothers about the issue.
She said she would bring forward "specific legislation" as soon as possible.
The Department of Health said the new laws would work to increase "awareness and acceptability" of breastfeeding, and improve breastfeeding rates, which are the lowest in the UK.
Currently, breastfeeding mothers in Northern Ireland are protected by sex discrimination laws that prohibit anyone from treating a woman unfavourably because she is breastfeeding.
However, Scottish law is tougher, making it an offence to deliberately prevent or stop a person from feeding milk to a child in their charge in a public place or licensed premises.
Liz Skelcher, who was verbally abused for breastfeeding in a Belfast restaurant, said any legislation "could only be a good thing".
"This is really positive news," she said.
"If the government especially gets behind breastfeeding it sends an unapologetic message.
"As a new mum there is so much insecurity, but feeling uncomfortable about getting your breasts out to feed your baby should not be one of them."
Mrs O'Neill said: "The details of this legislation will be consulted upon as soon as practicable and I hope to introduce this to the assembly at the earliest possible date."
According to the Department of Health, breastfeeding rates in Northern Ireland have remained static over the past number of years.
Mothers in Northern Ireland, who choose to breastfeed, also do so for a shorter period than breastfeeding mothers elsewhere in the UK.
"The reasons why women choose not to breastfeed, or stop breastfeeding, are varied and complex," Mrs O'Neill added.


Officials at Yellowstone National Park say a man died after falling into a hot spring, having wandered away from a path.

Colin Nathaniel Scott, 23, fell into the spring in the Norris Geyser Basin area of the park in north-west Wyoming.
Authorities are now trying to retrieve Mr Scott's body from the spring but have so far been unable to reach it.
Springs in that part of the park, where boiling water runs under thin rock, can see temperatures of up to 93C (199F).
"It's very fragile rock and can be thin as a skiff of ice," said park spokeswoman Charissa Reid.
Park officials say Mr Scott and his sister had strayed some 200 metres (656ft) from a designated walkway. They recommend visitors do not leave trails in hydrothermal areas or approach wildlife.
On Saturday, a 13-year-old boy suffered burns after his father, who was carrying him, slipped into another hot spring in the park. The pair had also reportedly left a path.
Last month, a Canadian tourist put a bison calf into his car boot in Yellowstone as he was worried it looked cold.
The bison was then rejected by its herd, leading it to be put down.


Councillors in Edinburgh have agreed to commission a report into the impact of noise from firework displays and whether silent pyrotechnics could be used instead.

It follows a call from councillor Joanna Mowat who said it was a constant complaint from residents who said the capital had become a "tourist city".
Edinburgh's Hogmanay said fireworks were a "signature element of an event".
The council said it would have the report completed by February or March.
Ms Mowat, a Conservative councillor whose ward covers Edinburgh city centre, told the BBC Scotland news website: "I am delighted that my motion calling for a report into the impact of fireworks on the residents, pets and buildings and the city has been accepted and a report will be brought forward early next year.
"This is an opportunity to look carefully at this issue and investigate whether new technology can reduce the noise but keep the spectacle which could make life a little quieter for residents of the city protecting the high level of amenity for residents of Edinburgh."
1) Recognises that the fireworks set off regularly in the city add excitement, colour and gaiety to celebrations in Edinburgh but that there is an impact from these regular fireworks on the residents living close to the launch sites and that there are concerns that the increasing scale of such may be having adverse impacts and
2) Calls for a report in two months to investigate:
a. What impact the noise of the bangs has on the health and wellbeing of people and animals;
b. What damage may be caused to property from the vibrations from the large pyrotechnic displays;
c. What other options are available for keeping the spectacle but reducing the impact such as silent fireworks.
Penny Dougherty, director of Unique Events which produces Edinburgh's Hogmanay on behalf of the City of Edinburgh Council, said: "The Edinburgh's Hogmanay fireworks are the signature element of an event that brings in 150,000 visitors from around the world and generates an economic impact of over Â£42m to the city of Edinburgh.
"Firework displays are a key part of every major New Year celebration around the world, and Edinburgh holds its own with cities such as London, Sydney, Dubai and Rio de Janiero at midnight on 31 December.
"We work closely with our pyrotechnic company, Titanium, one of the world's leading fireworks design companies, and all other agencies to deliver displays that are safe and enjoyable for those watching, not only in Edinburgh but for up to 30 miles around the city.
"We announce all our firework displays well in advance, through our marketing and social media campaigns and advise pet owners in the city and within earshot of the castle, to keep their animals indoors at these times."


Former two-weight world champion Paulie Malignaggi has retired from boxing after over 15 years as a professional.

The American fighter, 34, won the IBF super-lightweight title in 2007 and the WBA welterweight title in 2012.
He was beaten by British pair Amir Khan and Ricky Hatton and Saturday's defeat by Birmingham's Sam Eggington took his record to 36 wins from 44 fights.
Malignaggi said he has many "incredible memories" from boxing and he will continue to work in the media.
In a statement released 19 years to the day since his first amateur bout, Malignaggi said his life is now in a place he "never dreamed it could be in".
He added: "I'm looking forward to a long fruitful career now behind the mic, staying around the sport I love so much and the sport that changed my life for the better."


A young Conservative activist's parents are calling on an inquest into his death to look at bullying in the party.

Elliott Johnson, who was found dead on railway tracks in Bedfordshire, is thought to have killed himself.
Weeks earlier he had raised allegations about the way he was being treated in the Conservatives' youth wing.
A full inquest into the 21-year-old's death was due to take place next month but this has been delayed to hear arguments from lawyers for his family.
Instead a review hearing will allow the Johnson family's lawyers to argue that further evidence about the culture in the Conservative Party at the time should be heard.
Mr Johnson's father Ray, from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, said: "We want to ensure that the inquest covers all aspects surrounding Elliott's death.
"The original intention had been to hold a relatively short one-and-a-half-hour inquest only hearing evidence from the police.
"We've said there's more to this than simply what the police have reported and the coroner has agreed to hear our representations.
"This will include additional evidence taking the whole episode back several weeks and months to reveal the full circumstances surrounding Elliott's state of mind."
The family have already decided they will not participate in an internal review by the Conservative Party, saying they do not want to lend credibility to a process they fear will be a whitewash.
Elliott Johnson had alleged bullying a month before his death in September, sparking an investigation and the resignation of then party chairman Grant Shapps.
The allegations centre on the activities of former activist Mark Clarke, who has since been expelled from the party. Mr Clarke has denied the allegations against him.
Ray Johnson says his son's concerns were brought to the party's attention on 12 August. Elliott was found dead on railway tracks near Sandy station on 15 September.


Joe Burgess scored his first Super League hat-trick as Wigan survived an early scare to beat Wakefield and move up to second in the table.

Craig Hall put the Wildcats ahead with a try after just 40 seconds, but once Wigan took the lead they never lost it and scored seven tries in total.
Wakefield only trailed 24-18 at half-time but missed chances to cut the gap.
And with Matty Smith scoring all of his six conversions, the visitors secured their first away win of the season.
It was the Warriors' third successive win and a ninth consecutive defeat for bottom-of-the-table Wakefield, who improved dramatically from the 80-0 drubbing by Warrington in their last Super League match.
The hosts made a dramatic start as Matt Ryan raced clear to set up a try for Hall, who also kicked the conversion.
The lead lasted only seven minutes until Dom Crosby scored his first try for more than two years and Smith made it 6-6 with the conversion.
Before the break, Wigan took control with further tries from Burgess and Dom Manfredi but replies from skipper Danny Kirmond and Pita Godinet, in his first start of 2015, kept Wakefield in touch.
Among all the tries, there were yellow cards for Wigan's Sam Powell and Tim Smith of Wakefield, who squared up to each other.
Dan Sarginson set up Burgess straight after the interval and his converted try gave Wigan a 12-point cushion for the third time in the evening.
But Godinet capitalised on an error by Taulima Tautai to set up Chris Riley to give the Wildcats hope.
However, Lee Mossop went over before Burgess completed his treble to wrap up the points.
To complete Wakefield's misery, they lost debutant Jordan Crowther, prop Ian Kirke and loose forward Danny Washbrook during the match.
Wakefield coach James Webster: "We definitely didn't get beaten on effort. We tried to get a foothold in the game but came up with crucial errors at crucial times.
"Even though we scored some points, we didn't build pressure, we never sat on their try-line. But it's a good learning curve for us.
"I came here looking for improvement and I got that. If we get the same improvement next week, we might get Saints.
Wigan coach Shaun Wane: "It was just a win. Defensively we were poor . We were decent with the ball but I'm a bit frustrated we weren't patient in the final third.
"It's not an easy place to come - St Helens only won by four - I've been coming here since 2010 and I've never given a positive talk in the dressing room afterwards.
"But I still expect a better performance than that. Mentally we just weren't there today. The positive is that we found a way to win."
Wakefield: Hall, Owen, Ryan, Lyne, Riley, Godinet, T. Smith, Scruton, McShane, Kavanagh, Washbrook, Kirmond, Crowther.
Replacements: Lauitiiti for McShane (33), Kirke for Kavanagh (29), Simon for Crowther (17), Scruton for Simon (50).
Substitutes: D. Smith.
Sin Bin: T. Smith (34).
Wigan: Hampshire, Manfredi, Gelling, Sarginson, Burgess, Williams, Smith, Mossop, McIlorum, Crosby, J. Tomkins, L. Farrell, Bateman.
Replacements: Clubb for Mossop (21), Powell for McIlorum (28), Flower for Crosby (19), Tautai for Bateman (30).

Two men have been arrested in connection with the death of an inmate at a Cumbrian prison.

The body of Keith Abbot, 32, was found in his cell at HMP Haverigg on 15 July, 2016.
A 45-year-old from Birkenhead and a 26-year-old from Liverpool are being questioned, Cumbria Police said.
Three men, aged 22, 25 and 30, who are serving prison sentences in the North West were arrested on Monday and bailed.
Detectives are investigating allegations of physical and sexual assault at the prison as well as the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr Abbot and a second inmate.


College lecturers are being balloted on strike action for a second time as part of a long-running dispute over pay.

Negotiations have been ongoing between the Educational Institutional of Scotland (EIS) and Colleges Scotland over a pay deal that was agreed a year ago.
A more "harmonised" pay deal had been accepted, however, this has yet to be implemented.
College Scotland has called EIS's requests "unreasonable."
More negotiations are set to take place next week.
Larry Flanagan, EIS Scotland's general secretary, said: "After more than a year of waiting for colleges to deliver this binding agreement that was supposed to deliver pay harmonisation across the country, the patience of Scotland's further education lecturers is now exhausted.
"Firm promises were made to lecturers on pay harmonisation across the sector, following many years of differing pay for lecturers doing the same job in colleges across the country.
"It is now time for college managers to stop their negative spin about the deal and to deliver the agreement that was struck last year."
EIS-FELA president John Kelly added: "While no lecturer relishes the prospect of taking strike action, the inaction of management on the delivery of this year-old agreement has forced us to pursue this dispute.
"We must increase the pressure on Scotland's college principals to compel them to honour the deal and deliver their promises on fair pay for all lecturers across Scotland."
Earlier in March, 97% lecturers voted to take industrial action if the dispute was not settled.
The EIS want lecturer contracts to be reduced from 24 hours to 21 to focus on marking student work, however College Scotland want to increase this to 26 hours.
EIS's requests are set to cost Â£27m with a 9% pay increase part of the deal.
A spokeswoman for Colleges Scotland said: "Students and the college sector can only be damaged by the EIS's unreasonable demands in the national bargaining talks.
"The EIS demands can only mean less teaching time for students at a higher cost to the tax payer.
"We firmly believe this is a good package that people in other sectors would warmly welcome, yet the EIS seems determined go down the road of disruptive strike action instead."
She said the parties involved had agreed to meet again on Thursday to continue talks.


Spain's coastguard says it has rescued 600 migrants crossing from Morocco in a 24-hour period, amid a spike in the number of migrant arrivals.

The rescued migrants were in 15 vessels including toy paddleboats and a jet ski and included 35 children and a baby.
The UN says more than 9,000 people have arrived in Spain so far this year - three times as many as the previous year.
More than 120 people are believed to have drowned attempting the crossing.
The increase in crossings means Spain could overtake Greece this year in terms of the number of migrants arriving by sea, the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM) said earlier this month.
Most are sailing across the 12km (seven-mile) Strait of Gibraltar and many are choosing cheap, child-sized paddle boats without motors that allow them to bypass people-smuggling networks and their fees.
The majority are West Africans, with Nigeria, Guinea and Ivory Coast the top countries of origin. But Bangladeshis have also been leaving North Africa in their thousands.
Unlike Syrians, Iraqis or Afghans arriving in Europe, these groups are mostly treated as economic migrants, rather than refugees.
The numbers heading for Spain are dwarfed by the boatloads that have sailed to Italy this year.
Nearly 100,000 people have crossed from Libya to Italy since the start of the year. The IOM says 2,242 people have died on that route.
In June, about 5,000 people were rescued in one day in the Mediterranean off Libya, Italian coastguards said.
But in July the number crossing to Italy dropped by 57% compared with June, according to the EU's border agency, Frontex. It was the lowest level of arrivals in July since 2014.
Frontex described three factors contributing to that fall: bad weather, clashes in areas of Libya where people-smugglers are active, and more systematic patrolling by Libyan coastguards.
Some migrants are using social media to contact the Spanish authorities and inform them of their location once they are in territorial waters, the BBC's Gavin Lee in the Spanish city of Tarifa says.
The number of migrants arriving in Spain by sea does not include those entering the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa, which are the EU's only land borders with Africa.
Both enclaves are tightly guarded, and ringed by high fences topped with razor-wire, yet migrants regularly try to storm in, usually at night.
Greece was the main Mediterranean pressure point until March 2016, when the EU reached a deal with Turkey to intercept migrant boats crossing to Greek islands near the Turkish coast.
After that, the numbers on that route dropped sharply. But tighter border controls in the Balkans also made it much harder for migrants to journey to Central Europe.
The death rate among migrants at sea is greater this year than in 2016. The Libya-Italy crossing is longer and more hazardous than the crossings to Greece or Spain.
In other developments:
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.


Fane Valley is to merge some parts of its business with Lakeland Dairies.

Fane Valley is based in Banbridge ,County Down, and employs more than 2,200 people.
Lakeland Dairies are based in Bailieboro, County Cavan, and employ almost 700 people.
The merger will only involve part of the business, Fane Valley Dairies, Fane Valley Stores and Fane Valley feeds. The company's meat and food processing sectors are not included.
Trevor Lockhart, chief executive of Fane Valley, said: "We'll be stronger together - and I am absolutely confident that this move will make better businesses, can deliver more competitive returns and can ensure the sustainability not just our farmers, but of our staff."
The first joint company will be in the agri-business sector and will be led by Fane Valley.
It will pool both of the societies' feed manufacturing, sales and stores activities.
Lakeland Dairies will be a partner and a shareholder in the business. It will be worth around Â£125m per year.
Lakeland Dairies will manage the merged dairy processing activities and operation.
Fane Valley will be a partner and shareholder.
In Northern Ireland, Fane Valley and Lakeland Dairies currently procure 580m litres of milk each year for processing into a wide range of value added dairy products and food ingredients, which are exported worldwide.
The move will create the second largest milk processor in Ireland behind Glanbia.
The turnover of the new venture is estimated to be about Â£480m pounds a year.
Michael Hanley, chief executive of Lakeland Dairies, said the move was driven by "common sense, a lot of trust between both parties and a recognition that farmers are entitled to get the best returns possible from the dairy markets".
"There was a recognition that to compete globally you need a certain level of scale and efficiencies to drive through the plants," he said.
Both co-operative societies will continue to operate on an independent basis outside of the joint ventures.
The possibility of a full merger has not been ruled out.
There are consultations taking place with staff. But both companies said there would be no job losses.


Two aircraft only just missed colliding with each other over East Sussex because one of the pilots took evasive action, it has emerged.

Footage shows a microlight and a CitationJet missing each other by just a few hundred feet near Eastbourne at 13:49 GMT on 7 March.
Tom Harding, who was teaching a student in the microlight at the time, said the other plane was flying too fast.
An Airprox Board report found there had been a "serious risk of collision".
Mr Harding, a flight instructor with Flight Sport Aviation, said the Citation had been flying at a speed of 240 knots (276mph).
On spotting the other aircraft, he was able to "execute a steep turn to the right".
Student pilot Tom McNicholas recalled: "It was extremely close to us.
"You could make out the whole jet... I just couldn't believe that we got that close."
The Airprox Board said "providence had played a major part", and assessed the risk as Category A.
It said members were perplexed that the jet's onboard collision avoidance system had not triggered an alert.
They also questioned whether it would have been better had both pilots been talking to a radar controller.
Mr Harding has been commended for his robust lookout and appropriate evasive response.


A four-year-old boy from Manchester has died after being crushed by an electric gate while on holiday in Italy.

Angelo Quirino, whose parents are from Italy, died in the accident in Anzio on Saturday.
Mayor of Anzio Luciano Bruschini said the family's vacation "unfortunately turned into a tragedy that shocked our community."
The cause of the accident is being investigated by police in the city, a council spokeswoman confirmed.
Mr Bruschini said: "A sweet angel was here just to enjoy his time and suddenly a perfect vacation day has turned into tragedy.
"The city and all the population of Anzio is near to the family in this sorrowful moment."
He added the Municipality of Anzio would cover the costs of the child's funeral that was held on Tuesday.
Anzio is about 62km (38 miles) south west of Rome.


Carlos Ghosn is relinquishing his role as chief executive of Nissan, but will remain chairman of the Japanese car maker.

Hirohito Saikawa, already the company's co-chief executive, will take over.
The reshuffle will allow Mr Ghosn to focus on its alliances with Mitsubishi Motors and French car maker Renault.
Nissan bought a 34% stake in Mitsubishi Motors last year in the wake of Mitsubishi's fuel efficiency scandal and Mr Ghosn is its chairman.
Mr Ghosn said: "Having recently taken on new responsibilities at Mitsubishi Motors, and taking into consideration the upcoming Nissan general shareholders meeting, I have decided that the time is right for Hiroto Saikawa to succeed me as Nissan's CEO."
Nissan said: "As chairman of all three Alliance companies, and as chief executive of the Renault Group, Mr Ghosn wishes to focus more of his attention on the expansion and stewardship of the alliance."
Shareholders will vote on the move at Nissan's general meeting in June.
Nissan's Alliance family is built around a 17-year cross shareholding agreement with Renault. Nissan has also previously acquired stakes or signed partnerships with other carmakers including Daimler.
Mr Saikawa joined Nissan in 1977 and since 1999 he has served in a number of senior management positions, which included overseeing operations in the Americas and Europe.
Mr Ghosn became the company's chief operating officer in June 1999 and was appointed chief executive in June 2001, reviving what had been a brand in decline.
Under his leadership, Nissan achieved higher profit margins and expanded in many countries including China, which is now one of Nissan's key markets.


It's essentially a high-level public relations exercise that risks falling humiliatingly flat.

In the heat of the EU upset following Britain's June vote to leave, it probably seemed very sensible to get the other 27 EU countries round a table - after a cooling-off period - to discuss the "what next".
It could visibly demonstrate that, despite Brexit, the EU project was very much alive and kicking.
But the day of that planned meeting has now dawned, and unity of purpose couldn't be a more distant prospect.
At EU summits, leaders traditionally pose for what's known as the "family photo".
But, as is the reality behind most family snaps, these 27 kids are variously bickering, sulking and winding each other up, while Jean Claude Juncker, the helicopter mum, and Donald Tusk, the more laissez-faire dad, fall out over parenting techniques.
Yet these are difficult times in the EU with its Brexit, migrant and monetary woes.
"An existential crisis" said European Commission President Juncker this week.
"Turbulent times marked by crisis and conflict," said European Council President Tusk, the host of today's summit.
That the meeting takes place in Bratislava is an irony that cannot be ignored.
Slovakia was loudly accused of betraying the very notion of EU solidarity after it objected to (and took legal action against) the EU migrant quota scheme to "share the burden" of last year's migrant crisis more equally amongst European partners.
Slovakia is also a member of the Visegrad group made up of four central and eastern European countries. That group has been vocal in its constant criticism of EU policies, and demands powers be taken away from Brussels and given back to national parliaments.
The Visegrads have announced they'll unveil a reform plan for Europe at this Bratislava summit - though their critics mutter that they are as divided amongst themselves as they are disconnected from Brussels.
But EU squabbles aren't solely East-West focused, as we saw at the recent meeting in Athens of the so-called Club Med group of southern Europe.
The Mediterranean seethes with resentment at perceived injustices in Eurozone regulations and at German austerity edicts.
Meanwhile, Angela Merkel's crown as Queen of Europe has slumped.
Her role in last year's migrant crisis - when she declared all Syrians welcome and asylum seekers poured into Germany and across the continent - damaged her standing at home and the rest of Europe.
She no longer has the same power to chivvy or bully other EU countries to follow her lead.
So while Mr Juncker now desperately calls for better defence projects and job-creating schemes in an attempt to demonstrate the bloc's value to the European public, Donald Tusk has woken up and smelled the pungent coffee notes wafting across the continent.
He's seen the increasing influence of nationalist-minded Eurosceptic parties that challenge elites - bankers, traditional politicians and yes, Brussels bureaucrats - all of whom are perceived to be self-serving at the expense of growing sections of society.
He knows now is not the time for grand pan-European announcements.
Today's meeting on the future of the EU must be "brutally honest", he said.
In fact, the 27 EU leaders will probably row behind closed doors and then produce platitudes for the public: pledges on migration and security that Europeans won't believe and their governments will struggle to honour.
Because it's not just the EU that's fighting for survival.
The leaders of many of its member states are running scared from the populists. They fear for their political lives - and EU projects and visions are not vote winners.
So will this Bratislava meeting be the "turning point" Donald Tusk billed it to be, nudging the EU on a path back to stability and credibility?
Unlikely.
It's far more likely, in true Brussels style, that the can will be kicked further down the road and the EU will muddle on.
For now.


Government plans to ring-fence the banks - protecting retail banking from the riskier investment side - "fall well short of what is required", a report has warned.

The Banking Standards Commission wants the government to "electrify" the fence so banks won't try to "game" the rules.
That means regulators having the power to fully break up a bank if it does not follow the ring-fence proposals.
The bank reforms will go before Parliament early next year.
The Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, known as the Banking Commission for short, was asked by Chancellor George Osborne to study the draft version of the government's Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill.
This follows last year's recommendation by the Independent Commission on Banking, which was led by Sir John Vickers.
Sir John concluded that ring-fencing was the best way to protect "core" retail banking activities from any future investment banking losses, such as were seen during the global financial crisis.
Banking reform: What has changed since the crisis?
The government's proposed bill hinged on three main aspects:
But the government's draft legislation was a watered-down version of the Vickers report which proposed quite a high degree of separation, said Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the Banking Standards Commission.
"The proposals as they stand [in the Bill], fall well short of what is required," he said.
"What we've done with the Commission proposals is to put back some of that stiff separation into the ring-fence and then make clear that the key problem - that banks are going to be at the ring-fence all the time, which will be a nightmare for regulators - needs to be dealt with," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"And the way to do that is to say to banks 'If you don't try to game this ring-fence we won't see the need to separate you.'
"Then they will have a massive incentive to get to a point where banks have certainty [not to be broken up]."
"That is why we recommend electrification. The legislation needs to set out a reserve power for separation - the regulator needs to know he can use it."
Under the draft bill, ring-fencing would ensure that retail services of a struggling lender can be carried on independently and smoothly even if authorities let the rest of the group fail.
For example, in the case of a failing banking group, regulators could sell off its core activities - thereby maintaining continuity for depositors - while allowing the rest of the organisation to go through a bankruptcy process.
Secondly, retail deposits (but not pension liabilities) would be ranked ahead of the claims of other bank creditors in the event of a bank insolvency.
Thirdly, banks are to hold a sufficient capital buffer - as outlined by global regulators - which means that if banks do fail, losses can be absorbed by shareholders and other creditors rather than the taxpayer.
Ring-fenced banks would also be prohibited from carrying out a range of investment and wholesale banking activities, including the sale of complex derivatives, which are highly complicated contracts designed to hedge borrowers against certain risks but can lead to heavy losses if they go sour.
But in a concession, the Banking Commission proposal agreed to the use of simple derivatives, such as currency hedges, for banks within the ring-fenced body.
Under the draft legislation, the Treasury would have the authority to decide which banks ring-fencing should apply to, as well as specific activities to be undertaken within ring-fenced banks.
The Prudential Regulation Authority, which will become the UK's regulator for deposit-taking institutions in April under the Bank of England, would have the power to ensure the ring-fenced bank to carry on with its business.
Mr Tyrie has also called on independent reviews of the effectiveness of the ring-fence proposals across all banks to take place at least once every four years.
"Remember at the moment banks will probably behave, but in the long run they will find a way to gaming the ring-fence if they don't have a strong disincentive to do so," he told the BBC.
"In 10-20 years time... people will get complacent. At that point it's crucial to have a set of rules to keep banks well away from testing this ring-fence."
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls said: "As Ed Miliband and I said at the Labour conference this year, if the letter and spirit of the Vickers proposals are not delivered and we do not see cultural change in our banks, full separation will be necessary.
"The Commission is clearly right to say the jury is still out and to demand a reserve power for full separation of the banks."
The Commission's report comes a month after Mr Osborne urged its members not to send the government's proposed reform "back to square one" by "unpicking" the consensus on how it should be carried out.
Business Secretary Vince Cable, who has often been at loggerheads with Mr Osborne over how tough banking reforms should be, said: "I think we originally came out at it from opposite directions, but we've come to a common view that the ring-fencing solution is the best way forward."
"I think he [George Osborne] is quite right to say the last thing we want is to create more uncertainty," he told the BBC.
However, the banking industry was less enthusiastic about the proposals, saying lingering uncertainty about the future shape of the banking industry threatened banks' ability to lend and to compete.
"The risk here is creating uncertainty," Anthony Browne, the chief executive of the British Bankers' Association (BBA), told the BBC.
"If it's perpetually hanging over the banking sector that individual banks or the whole sector could be broken up at some point, then it's going to be difficult to return to having an investable banking sector that can be customer-focused and globally competitive and do what it should be doing, which is lending to homeowners and businesses."
Mark Field, a Conservative MP whose constituency includes the City of London, also warned of the dangers of uncertainty hanging over the banking sector. He said the 2019 deadline for banks to fully implement the reforms - as the Vickers report proposed - needed to be brought forward.
Mr Cable said the government wanted to "crack on with it".
"We want to make sure that by the end of this parliament we have something proper in place," he said.
"But if there are good proposals coming from parliamentarians to deal with the strengthening of the ring-fence - as Sir John said it has to be effective, that's the whole point of it - then we obviously will have to look at that."


Morecambe have signed Fleetwood defender Michael Duckworth on loan until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old joined the Cod Army from Hartlepool in June 2016 but has made just four league appearances this season.
He spent three seasons with Pools, scoring three times in 80 league games.
Duckworth, who can also play in midfield, could make his debut for the Shrimps against League Two leaders Doncaster on Saturday.

Officials in Skegness are using adverts showing unflattering images of Blackpool and Brighton in a bid to promote the resort.

The adverts, which feature the slogan "For sights you'll want to remember - visit Skegness", describe the resort as England's cultural coast.
James Gilbert, of East Lindsey District Council, said the campaign was about publicising the town's summer events.
But Claire Smith, from Stay Blackpool, said it was a "dirty tricks" campaign.
Skegness attracts more than four million visitors each year, generating Â£450m for the local economy.
Last year the resort was described in the Lonely Planet guide as "good family fun if you immerse yourself in the whole tacky spectacle".
Mr Gilbert said that view was 30 years out of date.
He said the latest campaign was designed to publicise Skegness as an "amazing resort" and to get publicity for an "amazing summer of events", which includes So Festival and the Olympic Torch Relay on 27 June.
"We are not trying to upset anyone - it's a bit of friendly rivalry," he said.
Claire Smith, who has a five star bed and breakfast in Blackpool, is president of Stay Blackpool, a guest house and hoteliers association.
She said: "It feels like a dirty tricks campaign.
"Skegness is a lovely little place and this campaign isn't drawing me in - in fact it's making me think about Blackpool and Brighton.
"It is difficult times - Blackpool has an abundance of stuff going on all summer as well, as I am sure Brighton has, but I don't think this campaign is the way to attract visitors," she said.
Blackpool attracts about 13 million visitors each year, with plans in place for a Â£220m transformation of the resort's centre.
Both Skegness and Blackpool are featured in a TV advertising campaign to encourage Britons to take their holidays at home in 2012.


A wedge-tailed eagle tried to fly away with a boy at a popular wildlife show in central Australia.

A crowd of shocked spectators watched the bird grab the boy's green hoodie during a show at Alice Springs Desert Park.
Witnesses said the bird tried to pick him up "like a small animal" before park staff moved in to help.
The boy, thought to be between six and eight years old, was left very upset but escaped with no serious injuries.
"On Wednesday, 6 July, an incident occurred at the Alice Springs Desert Park where an eagle made contact with an audience member," the park said in a statement.
"A thorough investigation regarding the circumstances behind this incident is under way and the eagle will be removed from the show while this investigation is ongoing."


Scottish footballer Denis Law has received a CBE in the New Year Honours list.

The former Scotland and Manchester United striker, 75, has been recognised for his work supporting charities as well as his sporting achievements.
He said: "To get something like this is really very pleasing. I'm quite proud. It's like 'Wow'."
Other Scots recognised include Paul Grice, the Scottish Parliament's clerk and chief executive, who is knighted.
David Stewart, the master blender for William Grant and Sons Distillers, receives an MBE.
Former principal and vice-chancellor of Edinburgh's Heriot Watt University Prof Steven Chapman picks up a CBE for services to higher education.
And Dr John Gillies, one of Scotland most senior GPs, is made an OBE.
Aberdeen-born Denis Law is Scotland's all-time joint record goal scorer with 30 goals in 55 internationals.
He began his playing career at Huddersfield Town in the mid-1950s and is best known for his 11 years at Manchester United, scoring 237 goals in 404 games.
The striker was named European footballer of the year in 1964, the only Scottish player to have won the award.
He has been an active and high-profile supporter of various charities for many years.
Law, who now lives in Cheshire, has long-promoted the Meningitis Now charity after his son contracted the disease.
He recovered from a prostate cancer diagnosis more than a decade ago and since then has been vocal about the importance of early detection.
Speaking of his charity work, he said: "To be involved in the game of football that I love, that was normal.
"But the things I was involved in with young kids, with cancer research, you are sort of giving something back.
"To go and help people who are really struggling in life is really wonderful."
The former footballing great is one of about 130 Scots to receive honours in the 2016 list.
Also collecting a CBE is Catherine Dyer, chief executive of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, for her services to law and order.
Other CBE recipients include Mark McInnes - director of the Scottish Conservatives - and Marion Taylor, the chief dental officer for Scotland.
The Queen's Police Medal has three Scots recipients this year - chief superintendents Eleanor Mitchell and Andrew Morris, and Det Supt Louise Raphael.


Thousands of people from across Scotland commemorated the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele in World War One.

The conflict claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, including many thousands of Scots.
About 200 of their descendents travelled to Belgium for commemorations at the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres.
There was also a parade in Crieff, supported by armed forces charity Legion Scotland.
Officially known as the Third Battle of Ypres, Passchendaele was fought from 31 July to 6 November 1917 in the West Flanders region of northern Belgium.
It is remembered as one of the harshest battles of the war, with heavy rain contributing to the Allies gaining only five miles of ground in three months.
About 325,000 Allied troops and 260,000 Germans died in the battle, which poet Siegfried Sassoon described as "hell".
There was a massive Scottish presence at Passchendaele, with more than 50 battalions from Scotland fighting.
Descendants of those who died attended commemorations in Belgium on Sunday.
A service for them included the traditional bugle call and wreath laying as well as music by the National Youth Choir of Scotland.
A short reception followed with live performances from artists including Dame Helen Mirren, Alfie Boe, and the cast of War Horse.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney represented the Scottish government at the commemorations.
In Perthshire, more than 150 veterans and serving soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland paraded through Crieff in memory of those who died.
Also taking part in the parade was a group of cyclists, representing The Black Watch (3 SCOTS).
They arrived in the town having cycled more than 600 miles to Passchendaele.
Black Watch soldiers were involved in the Battle of Passchendaele, which is one of the many reasons why Crieff has such strong connections to the conflict.
The cyclists carried their bikes as a tribute to their fallen comrades from another era.
Also attending was James McCabe, from Crieff, whose great-uncle, David Watson McDonald McCabe, fought and was wounded during the 2nd Battle of Ypres which took place two years before Passchendaele.
He returned to the battlefield, but was seriously wounded and died as the Battle of Passchendaele loomed.
David McCabe's great-great-great nephew David McInally was on parade as a member of the Royal Regiment of Scotland band.
A wreath-laying ceremony was attended by Lieutenant General Sir Alistair Irwin KCB CBE, the President of Legion Scotland and Poppyscotland.
Festivals Crieff Chairman Alastair McClymont said: "There's a real buzz about the town at the moment and we are delighted to have Legion Scotland's significant input to the launch of our Crieff Remembers programme.
"As well as today's wonderful parade, we also have the official opening of a truly unique exhibition of First World War material loaned from local families."
The exhibition is being held at Strathearn Artspace, Comrie Street, until Saturday 12 August.


Seven Russian athletes have been banned from competing following positive drugs tests, the country's anti-doping agency Rusada has announced.

Dmitry Trunenkov, an Olympic bobsleigh champion from the 2014 Sochi Games, has been banned for four years from April 2016, meaning he keeps his gold medal.
"We're very disappointed," ex team-mate Alexander Zubkov told news agency Tass.
Walker Alexander Yargunkin was banned for four years, having tested positive before the 2015 World Championships.
In December, the findings from a report into doping in sport stated that more than 1,000 Russians - including Olympic medallists - benefited from a state-sponsored doping programme between 2011 and 2015.


Nicklas Bendtner has left Wolfsburg after reaching an agreement to end his contract a year early.

The 28-year-old Denmark striker has not played since February and was told not to attend training any more last month.
He was fined for being 45 minutes late for training in March and also punished in February for posting a picture of his Mercedes car on social media. The club are owned by Volkswagen.
He joined the Bundesliga side after leaving Arsenal in August 2014.
However, he only scored three goals in 31 league appearances before being frozen out.
Wolfsburg director of sport Klaus Allofs said: "Both Nicklas and ourselves had high hopes of his engagement at VfL Wolfsburg, but after two years we have had to ascertain that the expectations were neither fulfilled for him, nor for us, and a continued cooperation made no sense for either side.
"For that reason, the mutual decision to end our association prematurely is thus the best solution for all parties. We wish Nicklas all the very best for his future career."


A gay man from Guernsey has refused to pay for the upkeep of his parish church because of its "homophobic stance on gay marriage".

In the Channel Islands the upkeep of churches is paid for through Parish Rates, which everyone has to pay.
But Leo Thomas said he finds it "extremely questionable" he should pay for a church that "openly discriminates against the gay community".
The Anglican Dean of Guernsey said he would respond to Mr Thomas privately.
More on the church rates story, and other news
Mr Thomas wrote the open letter to ask to be removed from paying church rates "due to the Church of England's institutional homophobic stance on gay marriage".
He wrote: "As a person classed as a sinner and not worthy to get married in a church why should I be obliged and forced to pay a penny towards the costs of said church?
"If the Church of England was a private company, I probably would have a strong case of discrimination in court."
He said this year he would donate the Â£7.94 he paid for his 2016 church rates to a local charity instead.
The central government on the island is the States of Guernsey, but each parish also has its own douzaine.
Parish Rates, separated in owner and refuse rates, are charged to cover the cost of services provided by the douzaine, which are determined by the value of the owner's property, similar to Council Tax.
Services provided include rubbish and recycling collection, licensing, boat moorings, highways, planning permission and the upkeep of parish churches.
Both the Anglican Dean of Guernsey the Very Reverend Tim Barker, and the constables of St Andrew's Parish, where Mr Thomas lives, have declined to comment.
Same-sex marriage in Guernsey was approved in December but the law has not yet come into effect, but is expected to this summer.
Deputy Peter Ferbrache said he is against any form of discrimination and sympathises with Mr Thomas, but said he disagrees with withholding rates contributions.
"I regard the church buildings as an important part of our heritage. They should be preserved. "


Tuesday's match between Macclesfield and Wrexham was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.

A torrential downpour just over an hour before the scheduled 19:45 BST kick-off time left large sections of the Moss Road pitch under water.
Referee Steve Rushton waited until 18:45 BST before deciding there was no chance of any play.
Macclesfield were looking for a fourth win in a row in the National League and to close the gap on leaders Lincoln.


Efforts to win World Heritage Site status for north Wales' slate industry have been boosted after it was put on a UK shortlist for potential nominations.

A bid was submitted last year by supporters who say the industry has shaped the social, political, economic and cultural landscape of Wales.
A World Heritage Site is chosen for its outstanding universal value to culture, history or science.
Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan said heritage status would boost tourism.
Gwynedd's slate industry is one of the final 11 contenders announced by UK Tourism and Heritage Minister John Penrose to form the new tentative list for potential nominations for the status.
The 11 sites have been whittled down from 38.
Nominations from the list will be submitted from 2012 based on the strength of their case.
Mrs Gillan said the slate industry had played a dominant role in shaping the landscape and economy of north Wales since the 19th Century.
"Tourism is vitally important to the north Wales economy," she said bringing in up to Â£1.8bn of income to the region and supporting around 37,000 jobs.
'Global significance'
"Heritage status would help show the world just what Wales has to offer - from areas of outstanding beauty to dramatic industrial heritage."
Gwynedd council leader Dyfed Edwards said: "I am delighted that the government has recognised the global significance of the Gwynedd slate quarrying industry, and am now looking forward to working with Gwynedd's slate communities and our partners to develop our submission to Unesco."
The entire process of being selected for world heritage status can take between five and 10 years.
The bid must now move onto a nomination list where it will be assessed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
If successful, the application is then judged by the World Heritage Committee, which meets once a year to decide which sites will be inscribed on the world heritage List.
