Jazz Carlin won Olympic silver for Great Britain in the women's 800m freestyle, as Katie Ledecky secured her fourth gold medal of the Rio Games.

American Ledecky, 19, took nearly two seconds off her own world record to win in eight minutes 4.79 seconds, nearly 12 seconds clear of the rest.
Welsh star Carlin, 25, was her nearest challenger, securing her second silver of the Games after finishing second in the 400m freestyle earlier in the week.
Hungary's Boglarka Kapas took bronze.
Ledecky's dominant display rounded off a stunning debut Olympics with a world record nearly 14 seconds faster than what it stood at when Rebecca Adlington set it at the Beijing Olympics.

"I had a lot of fun tonight," Ledecky said. "I just wanted to push myself and see what I could do."
Carlin secured Britain's fifth swimming medal in Rio.
Siobhan-Marie O'Connor in the 200m individual medley and the men's team in the 4x200m freestyle relay also won silver.
Adam Peaty is Britain's only gold medallist so far after winning the 100m breaststroke gold.
"I couldn't do it without my family," said Carlin after the race. "They have been there through the tough times and it is nice that they can be here.
"Two silver medals, it is an incredible feeling. I'm finally believing in myself."

Irish Sports Minister Shane Ross has said the Olympic Council of Ireland will have to accept an independent inquiry into the alleged illegal sale of tickets.

18 August 2016 Last updated at 21:28 BST
Mr Ross was speaking to Irish broadcaster RTÃ‰ after arriving at Dublin Airport from Brazil on Thursday.
Arrested Irish Olympic official Pat Hickey has been released from hospital to be questioned at a Rio police station over allegations of illegal ticket sales.
He has temporarily stepped down from his position as the Olympic Council of Ireland's president, although he denies the allegations.


Thousands of Coventry City fans took to the streets in protest against the football club's owners, Sisu.

Sky Blues supporters' groups arranged a march ahead of their home match with Rochdale.
Some fans also boycotted the match at the Ricoh Arena and staged protests outside the ground.
The team are fourth from bottom of League One and a deal allowing the club to continue playing at the Ricoh Arena expires at the end of next season.
Concerns around the ownership of the club have recently been raised in Parliament.
Fans have been stepping up their protest against the club's owners Sisu in recent weeks, with the match away to Charlton Athletic on 15 October briefly stopped after inflatable pigs were thrown onto the pitch.
Moz Baker, from the Sky Blues Trust, said a "tremendous number" of supporters came out to oppose the club's owners in a "peaceful" way.
"The message is simple: people don't want these owners here anymore," he said.
Campaigner Steve Brown, from the fans' group Fighting the Jimmy Hill Way, said the fans are frustrated with the way the club was being run.
"We'll do whatever it takes for our club to survive," he said.
"I don't think that our owners care one little hoot about what we're doing out here. However, it's a feelgood factor for us, and we feel as if we're doing something... we're not going to go away."


Sir Paul McCartney has given an impromptu gig in Covent Garden during the lunchtime rush.

"Good afternoon," he told that assembled crowd of more than 2,000 fans. "Welcome to Covent Garden."
"We're just going to do some songs from our new album so get your phones out... As if they weren't already," he added.
The 71-year-old sang four songs from his latest album, New, from a truck parked on the piazza. It follows a similar stunt in New York last week.
The London gig began at 1330 BST, about an hour after Sir Paul announced it on Twitter.
"I'm getting ready to pop up in Covent Garden," the former Beatle tweeted. "Oh baby!"
"Alright! Busking!" he joked after taking to the stage, watched by his daughter, Stella.
"This is a change from the '60s because we would just have been coming in from the clubs right now."
The singer opened with his current single, also called New, and closed with the same song approximately 20 minutes later, telling the audience: "Thank you very much. OK now, back to work!"
"It was very exciting," Sir Paul told the BBC afterwards. "It felt little bit like I was in a dream - sort of a little bit spacey."
The gig was an unexpected bonus for many tourists.
"We were actually just looking around Covent Garden and we had this big surprise," said Flavia, a visitor from Paraguay. "I'm so happy, I can't believe!"
She wasn't concerned by the abbreviated set, saying: "Even five minutes would be OK. Any time seeing him would be OK".
Covent Garden employee Harel, 37, said he was "disappointed, but not surprised," Sir Paul only played five songs.
While Craig Williams, who "legged it" to the show from work said, "even for that quick 10, 15 minutes, it's all worth it".
"I honestly believe the Beatles' music saved my life," he added.
"There were some dark times and he's just got a 'live life to the full' mentality, and I really clicked with that."
The gig came exactly a week after Sir Paul was mobbed by fans, following a pop-up show in Times Square.
He said the shows had been suggested by Stella. "She said, 'what you should do is just pop up somewhere and do a gig, and everyone will just get their phones out and they'll tweet it," the star told the BBC.
"And I said, 'well that's not a bad idea - however, I've now got to go and do it!'"
The hit-and-run concerts echo The Beatles' final live performance, a mile down the road from Covent Garden, on the roof of their record label, Apple.
That show, in January 1969, brought traffic on Savile Row to a standstill and was eventually shut down by police who ordered the band's touring manager, Mal Evans, to turn off their amplifiers.
"It started to filter up from Mal that the police were complaining," Sir Paul later recalled in The Beatles Anthology.
"We said, 'We're not stopping'. He said, 'The police are going to arrest you'."
The star remembered replying: "Good end to the film. Let them do it. Great! That's an end: Beatles Busted on Rooftop Gig!"
McCartney's latest solo album was released on Monday. Early sales data suggests the record, which was produced by Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse) and Paul Epworth (Adele), amongst others, is likely to chart at number three this weekend.
He is also due to appear on BBC One's Graham Norton show on Friday night.


Australia's Commonwealth Bank has just announced bumper profits, but it is also embroiled in a legal tussle over how much it tells shareholders about its exposure to climate change.

Two shareholders are taking the bank to court, claiming it has failed to properly disclose investment risks associated with the environmental problem.
Commonwealth Bank denies the claim.
The case is believed to be the first attempt globally to force financial institutions to tell shareholders how exposed they are to climate risks.
It comes as Commonwealth Bank faces a separate court action over its alleged breaches of Australia's anti-money laundering laws.
Environmental Justice Australia (EJA) has filed a motion on behalf of two shareholders in the Federal Court of Australia, claiming climate change poses "material or major risks" to the financial position of both the bank and its customers.
In Australia, the risks include more severe droughts and cyclones as well as a rise in sea levels.
"Because it has exposures throughout the economy there are potentially some very serious financial exposures for the bank," said David Barnden, a lawyer for EJA.
The legal service says the bank ought to have known about those risks, and failed to disclose them in its 2016 annual report.
They are not seeking any monetary compensation.
EJA says the case is only an attempt to force Commonwealth Bank to publish relevant information, so that investors can make better decisions.
The court action also called on Commonwealth Bank to detail its involvement in the Adani Carmichael project, which is worth A$16bn (Â£10bn; $13bn).
The controversial coal mine in Queensland is backed by India's Adani Group, and has been a target of environmental activists since it was first proposed.
Several other major banks have ruled out involvement in the project, but Commonwealth Bank has been more coy on the issue.
"The provision by CBA of any form of financial assistance or funding for Carmichael posed, and continues to pose, material or major risks (including reputational risks) to its business," the statement to the court said.
EJA hopes that if they win, this will set a precedent, forcing other companies to be more forthcoming about their exposure to climate risks.
Mr Barnden says Australia's corporate reporting rules are fairly broad, and he hopes a positive decision might be applied more widely.
"The codification is broad and talks about companies needing to provide a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the company," he said.
The bank flatly rejected the claim, saying its 2016 annual report was fully compliant with statutory reporting obligations.
It also said it is committed to playing its part in limiting climate change to well below 2.0C (3.6F) in line with the Paris agreement, and supporting a global transition to net zero emissions by 2050.
The bank is also facing legal action over failure to comply with Australia's anti-money laundering laws.
The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre last week launched a civil action against the bank for 53,700 alleged breaches of the laws.
In an update to investors on Wednesday, chairwoman Catherine Livingstone said the bank was unaware of the breaches until 2015, three years after they had allegedly begun.
She said the bank had spent A$125m on strengthening its systems to deal with financial crime.
Despite the bank's legal tussles, its annual results released on Wednesday were strong.
Commonwealth Bank beat forecasts to post profits of A$9.88bn.
That is 4.6% higher than last year's results and the eighth straight year of record profits for Australia's largest mortgage lender.
Shares rebounded slightly, clawing back some of the losses the bank suffered after the laundering accusations emerged.


The trial of four men accused of fixing 32 football matches in several European countries has begun in Germany.

If found guilty they could be jailed for up to 10 years.
Several other men are expected to be charged in what has been called the biggest fraud scandal ever in European football.
In total, nearly 300 matches in 15 European countries are alleged to have been affected.
The four men who appeared in court in the western city of Bochum have been in custody since November 2009, when German police made a total of 15 arrests.
They are accused of having bribed referees and players to throw matches.
Officers had been eavesdropping for several months on telephone conversations in which the suspects had allegedly been discussing the games they were going to fix and the money they would make by betting on the results.
The 15 are accused of having profited to the tune of several million euros, sometimes with bets placed in Asia by agents based in London.
More than 70 of the games under suspicion were played in Turkey.
Germany and Switzerland also feature prominently among the 15 countries affected.
Many of the suspect matches were played in the lower divisions, but it is believed that at least three were in the Champions League. One of the accused is a professional footballer.
This is likely to be the first of several trials. Police say they have 250 suspects.
There is no evidence that games in Germany's top league, the Bundesliga, are involved, to the relief of the German football authorities.
But this trial will raise questions about the integrity of football in the lower leagues in a large number of European countries, the BBC's Tim Mansel reports.


Zimbabwe is to increase the export of wildlife, including elephants, to China, the environment minister says.

The move will reduce the chances of elephants dying because of drought, Oppah Muchinguri is quoted by the state-owned Herald newspaper as saying.
Critics have previously condemned the exports as "stealing from the future generation's natural resources".
Zimbabwe was also seeking China's help to obtain anti-poaching technology, including drones, Ms Muchinguri said.
Game parks in Zimbabwe are famous among tourists, but their wildlife is being increasingly threatened by poachers who see China and several other Asian states as a lucrative market.
Ivory is used for trinkets, souvenirs and also in traditional medicines.
Zimbabwe's government is also gripped by a financial crisis which has made it difficult to maintain its parks.
Officials believe the sale of animals will raise money for their upkeep.
Since July last year, Zimbabwe has sold 100 elephants, out of a population of more than 84,000, to China, the Herald reports.
They were sold for about $40,000 (Â£26,000) each, according to wildlife officials.
The newspaper dismissed previous allegations by wildlife campaigners such as the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF) that they included baby elephants "sentenced to a life of inhuman treatment".
Speaking during a visit to China, Ms Muchinguri said: "The Chinese have enquired about more elephants, baboons, hyenas, lions, among others, and we will sell them more without hesitation.
"We are not going to apologise to anyone."
Zimbabwe's elephants faced a critical food and water shortage, Ms Muchinguri said.
"There is drought and soon the elephants will die. It is better to sell them, especially to those who can take good care of them. Whatever our detractors say, we don't mind."
The animals exported to China are taken to the Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, which is home to 20,000 rare animals, according to its website.
Ms Muchinguri said Zimbabwe was looking at acquiring drones and helicopters for surveillance purposes because poachers were becoming increasingly sophisticated.
"All things need money and we must raise the money," she is quoted as saying.


A late free-kick from substitute Kal Naismith earned Portsmouth victory over Grimsby at Blundell Park.

His curling strike from 25 yards, after replacing top scorer Gary Roberts, was enough to settle the match five minutes from time.
A crowd of 6,560 attended the League Two clash in Cleethorpes.
Early on, it took a fingertip save from Grimsby stopper James McKeown to deny Gareth Evans, before Danny Rose also dragged wide for Pompey.
Other chances were few and far between for the remainder of the first half but soon after the restart, McKeown had to be on red alert as Michael Smith bore down on goal, only to shoot straight at the goalkeeper.
At the other end, a dipping volley from Ashley Chambers brought the best out of David Forde.
It sparked the season-high crowd into life and the introduction of Tom Bolarinwa from the bench had a similar impact on Grimsby.
But a spell of home pressure proved to be in vain as Naismith curled a fine winner past McKeown.

A US underwater drone seized by the Chinese navy in the contentious South China Sea has now been returned.

The drone was handed over some 92km north-west of Subic Bay in the Philippines, officials said.
China seized the vehicle in international waters, in one of the most serious confrontations between the powers in decades.
The US said it would continue to "fly, sail, and operate in the South China Sea" where international law allows.
"After friendly consultations between the Chinese and US sides, the handover was smoothly completed at midday," China's defence ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Pentagon described the incident as inconsistent with international law and codes of conduct between navies at sea, and added that it would continue to investigate.
A Chinese Navy ship seized the drone 92km (57 miles) north-west of Subic Bay near the Philippines in the South China Sea on Thursday.
According to the Pentagon, the drone, known as an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), was being used to carry out scientific research at the time it was captured.
China's defence ministry said in a statement that the craft was retrieved and examined to maintain the safety of passing vessels.
Although an agreement on the return of the drone was eventually reached, it did not come before sharp exchanges and a formal diplomatic complaint by the US.
US President-elect Donald Trump earlier accused the Chinese of "stealing".
"We should tell China that we don't want the drone they stole back - let them keep it!" he tweeted.
China's defence ministry later said that the vessel would be returned in an "appropriate manner", calling the US response "unhelpful".
Analysts believe this is likely to stoke US concerns about the growing military build-up by China in the South China Sea.
China has claimed territorial rights over most of the South China Sea but its claims are disputed by several nations.
China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei all have competing claims.
China has backed its expansive claims with island-building and naval patrols. The US says it does not take sides in territorial disputes, but has sent military ships and planes near disputed islands, calling them "freedom of navigation" operations to ensure access to key shipping and air routes.
Both sides have accused each other of "militarising" the South China Sea.
The Philippines called the drone incident, which took place inside its exclusive economic zone, "very troubling" saying it increased the likelihood of "miscalculations that could lead to open confrontation" very near the Philippine mainland.
Relations between the US and China have been growing increasingly tense, with Mr Trump inflaming the Chinese by speaking on the phone earlier this month with the leader of Taiwan, breaking a long-standing US practice.
China has so far been restrained in its official responses to Mr Trump, choosing instead to stress the importance of Sino-US ties.
There were "friendly consultations" about the fate of a drone that was taken because China said it may have posed a threat to vessels around it.
Beijing had earlier claimed it simply treated it like something you might "find in the street". Or is that just diplomatic gloss?
Was it instead what the Pentagon described as the return of a piece of US kit "unlawfully seized" while it was in international waters "in full compliance with international law"?
The US says it will "continue to investigate" the events surrounding the seizure. Five days is more than enough time to have a good look inside a piece of hardware that your rival may be using to track your submarines.
As the clock ticks towards the arrival of President Trump tensions are escalating, with both sides choosing different ways to send a message to the other.


Japan's factory output fell 3.3% from May to June, the latest sign to highlight that the recent sales tax rise is affecting consumer demand.

It is the biggest decline in output since the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Japan raised its sales tax, also known as consumption tax, from 5% to 8% in April this year.
There have been concerns that the move - which makes goods more expensive - may see consumers cut back on spending and hurt domestic consumption.
The weak output numbers follow data released on Tuesday which showed retail sales in June declined more than forecast, down 0.6% from a year ago.
Meanwhile, household spending in the country has also fallen in recent months.
Analysts said the weak demand was in part due to the fact that consumers and businesses had rushed to make purchases ahead of the tax rise.
"The pent-up demand ahead of the sales tax hike was bigger than expected so the consequent downturn is pretty steep, which is probably why output fell so much in June," said Junko Nishioka, chief Japan economist at RBS Securities.
"We don't expect output to keep falling in the current quarter as the tax hike effect is fading," she said.
Manufacturers surveyed by Japan's ministry of economy, trade and industry expect output to rise in the coming months.


A senior civil servant is to move to a new role as head of the GAA's Casement Park redevelopment project in west Belfast.

Rory Miskelly has already been involved in the project through his job at the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure.
He will now be working as a full-time employee of the GAA.
Mr Miskelly has vast experience when it comes to multi-million pound building projects in Belfast.
He helped deliver the Titanic Visitor Centre and the revamped Ravenhill rugby stadium.
Now comes, arguably, his greatest challenge - ensuring a new stadium at Casement Park is built.
Work was due to begin in early 2015.
However, planning permission for the stadium was overturned in December 2014, and since then it has been embroiled in controversy over emergency exit plans.
The GAA also faced opposition from local residents over its plans to build the state-of-the-art, 38,000-capacity stadium.
It will not be built this year, or next. But a new planning application is expected within the next six months.
Before that, another community consultation will take place.
It is understood the GAA may be willing to reduce the planned 38,000 capacity.
However, they still want the ground to hold at least 32,500 spectators, and would prefer more.


There has been another twist in the legal battle involving Ashers bakers and the so-called gay cake.

Stocks on Wall Street slid at the close, with most of the focus on the firm behind Snapchat's trading debut.

Snap shares surged on Thursday, rising 44% to $24.48 from the flotation price of $17 per share.
At the close the Dow Jones slipped back from Wednesday's record high, dropping 112.58 points to 21,002.97.
The S&P 500 index fell 14.04 points to 2,381.92, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 42.81 points to 5,861.22.
On Wednesday, Snapchat priced its shares at $17 each, above the expected range of $14-$16, which valued the company at $24bn.
Caterpillar shares, the biggest drag on the Dow, dropped 4.3% following news that federal officials had searched its Illinois facilities.
Caterpillar said the search may be related to an Internal Revenue Service investigation on profits earned by a Swiss subsidiary.
Shares in bookseller Barnes & Noble fell 8% after it reported a fall in third quarter profits and sales.
Profits at the retailer fell to $70.3m in the three months to 28 January, down from $80.3m a year earlier.
Comparable store sales fell 8.3%, which the company said was largely caused by fewer shoppers visiting its stores, the decline in popularity of colouring books, and the fact that sales last year were boosted by the best-selling album from Adele.

The governor of South Carolina has called for the removal of a Confederate flag from the state capitol's grounds.

The flag, emblematic of the south during the US civil war, was embraced by the man accused of killing nine people in a black church last week.
To prolonged applause, Governor Nikki Haley called for the "removal of a symbol that divides us", a move that paves the way for a vote this week.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans says it will fight attempts to remove it.
The confederate group says it symbolises their heritage and history, not hate, and has offered condolences to the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, where the attack took place.
At a news conference, South Carolina Governor Haley acknowledged that point of view but said to many others it was a "deeply offensive symbol of brutal oppression".
The flag was originally the battle flag of the southern states in the civil war when they tried to break away to prevent the abolition of slavery.
Only the South Carolina's state legislature may remove the flag, according to a deal hatched when the flag was moved in 2000 off the capitol's dome to the memorial where it now stands.
A vote could take place this week and could bring to an end many years of bitter arguing about the prominent location of the flag.
The latest debate over it was prompted by the shooting of nine black worshippers during a bible study group at the church in Charleston.
The suspect, Dylann Roof, has been pictured holding the Confederate flag.
State leaders have held crisis meetings as they have tried to find a solution but some leading Republicans have called for action.
"Last week's terrorising act of violence shook the very core of every South Carolinian," House Majority Leader Jay Lucas said in a statement.
"Moving South Carolina forward from this terrible tragedy requires a swift resolution of this issue."
Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley, a Democrat, said: "The flag got appropriated by hate groups. We can't put it in a public place where it can give any oxygen to hate-filled people".
Republicans who have held majorities in the state for about 25 years have pushed back on previous calls to remove the flag. However, there's no apparent consensus between them on how they should respond this time.
The flag seen today on houses, bumper stickers and T-shirts - sometimes accompanied by the words "If this shirt offends you, you need a history lesson" - is not, and never was, the official national flag of the Confederacy.
The design by William Porcher Miles, who chaired the flag committee, was rejected as the national flag in 1861, overlooked in favour of the Stars and Bars.
It was instead adopted as a square battle flag by the Army of Northern Virginia under General Lee, the greatest military force of the Confederacy.
It fast became a potent symbol of Confederate nationalism.
Why do people still fly the Confederate flag?


Chevrolet has become the first carmaker to offer an unlimited data plan with its cars.

The deal, for a 4G LTE data plan, applies to cars sold in the US from 3 March and will cost $20 (Â£16) a month.
It is being offered with the help of US carrier OnStar and will see vehicles fitted with a wi-fi hotspot that connects to the web via LTE.
Chevrolet said it was offering the deal because in-car data use had grown so fast.
Figures gathered by Chevrolet suggest the amount of data used via wi-fi in its cars jumped by 200% last year.
In 2016, it said, Chevrolet in-car hotspots had handled about four million gigabytes of data.
The LTE-based hotspots are available across the entire range of vehicles made by Chevrolet.
The system allows owners to connect up to seven devices at a time.
Ford also announced this week that it had signed a deal with Vodafone to put 4G modems in its cars.
It has not yet released any information about prices but said the system would be an optional extra available in cars sold across Europe from 2018.
In its announcement, Ford said the 4G hotspots would use wi-fi so passengers could connect directly rather than by using Bluetooth.
Car owners will be able to use up to 10 devices in a car at any one time.


A historical building could be empty for six years while Cardiff city centre is redeveloped around it.

The four-storey post office on Westgate Street was considered one of the finest in the UK when built in the 1890s.
But the Grade II-listed building has been empty since tenant BT moved out, even though its lease runs until 2023.
Owner Bamfords Trust failed to sell it for Â£11.5m in 2013 and will continue collecting rent before re-evaluating when the contract ends.
It is in a prime location, between the Principality Stadium and under-development Central Square, with plans for nearby Cardiff Arms Park and the Brains Brewery site.
"Our client will have income from BT for about five-and-a-half years and, with the area around it being regenerated, they decided to hold on to it," said Matt Phillips of estate agent Knight Frank.
"That will give time for Central Square to develop and they will revisit [the situation]."
BT renovated the 58,000 sq ft (5,000 sq m) premises to grade-A office standard in 1996 before all the staff moved to nearby Stadium House. It is now looking to sub-lease the office.
Mr Phillips believes regeneration work could see the sale value increase and, subject to planning, it could be used as offices, homes or a hotel.
The building illustrates the "staggering" growth of the city in the late 1800s, according to Cardiff University Welsh history professor Bill Jones.
In 1860, its population was 50,000 but this rose to 230,000 by 1920.
Similarly, in 1880, Cardiff's postal service employed 86 people and delivered 2,800 parcels but by 1919, 1,626 people dealt with 60,000 parcels, with two million letters processed every week.
In line with this, ambitious plans for a new headquarters were unveiled in 1893 when the site of a circus was purchased from Lord Bute.
Writing in 1897's Illustrated History of Cardiff, Arthur Mee described it as "one of the finest establishments of the kind in the provinces, and which abundantly shows the confidence that the central authorities show in the future of Cardiff".
Prof Jones said its creation demonstrates Cardiff's rapid growth into a commercial centre because of increased trade through coal and the docks.
"The building oozes confidence, an illustration of how much money was going through Cardiff, creating this idea of it being the metropolis of Wales," he said.
"That London was persuaded to build it, gives an idea of how important Cardiff was becoming, the confidence they had in the future of it."
Prof Jones said the city was "developing rapidly", further illustrated by plans to turn Westgate Street and the Arms Park into a commercial centre.
But times changed with the demise of the coal industry and, by 1983, the post office left the building for a new site at The Hayes.
In the late 1980s, there were plans to turn it into a five-star hotel with a casino in the basement.
But it has been empty since BT moved out with a note in the doorway requesting homeless people stop sleeping there.
While Prof Jones believes it is essential its character is preserved in any future development, he thinks a hotel could be its best use.
"The nature of the tourism market is changing, old buildings are more appealing [than new-build hotels]," he said.
"People like linking in with the history, gaining a sense of place, where they are. And this is an illustration of how Cardiff developed."
Pointing to the redevelopment of the Coal Exchange into a hotel, he said "someone needs to be bold and take a risk" on it.


More than 30 leading public figures in the Czech Republic have signed an open letter urging the UK to vote to stay in the EU in next month's referendum.

The letter says the UK plays a key "balancing role" in European politics and a British exit from the EU "would be disastrous".
It is addressed to the Czech-born British playwright, Sir Tom Stoppard.
The signatories include Cold War-era dissidents, supermodel Eva Herzigova and renowned conductor Jiri Belohlavek.
The list is topped by Michael Zantovsky, a former Czech ambassador to London who was spokesman for the late Vaclav Havel, the man who led the 1989 Velvet Revolution that swept the Soviet-backed communists from power. Mr Zantovsky now runs the Vaclav Havel library.
Havel's brother Ivan is also a signatory, as are Cardinal Dominik Duka, Archbishop of Prague, and former gymnast Vera Caslavska, who won seven Olympic gold medals.
The Czech letter speaks of the close historical ties that bind Britain to Bohemia, a common Celtic heritage, medieval royal marriages and the Czechoslovak fighter pilots who served in the RAF in the Battle of Britain.
"Britain... has played a balancing role in European politics, effectively preventing any large European power from playing a hegemonistic role," the letter says.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
But it also acknowledges that "many Europeans, in the East and in the West, are frustrated with the decreasing ability of the EU to cope with the current problems".
It says Brexit would leave the UK isolated, "stranded in the middle of the Atlantic", and argues that Europe has gained from the British "democratic institutions, entrepreneurial spirit, common sense and pragmatic approach".
However, the signatories stress that the plea to the UK is non-political - and only one of them is a serving politician.
The Czech Republic and three of its ex-communist neighbours - Hungary, Poland and Slovakia - are in dispute with their EU partners over refugee policy.
The four - together called the Visegrad Group - object to a European Union plan to distribute refugees more fairly across the EU. The four argue that they are ill-suited to integrate migrants, especially Muslims from outside Europe.
There is also a strong strain of Euroscepticism in Czech society - and support for EU membership amongst the Czechs has plunged in recent years.
Some Czech leaders, including President Milos Zeman, have spoken out against other EU policies, besides migration.
Mr Zeman says the EU should lift its sanctions on Russia, imposed over the March 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea, internationally recognised as part of Ukraine.
His predecessor Vaclav Klaus was staunchly Eurosceptic, arguing that the behaviour of EU officials reminded him of the Soviet bloc.


"Poor driver behaviour" has contributed to delays caused by tunnel works on the A55 in north Wales, the transport minister has said.

Edwina Hart said she knew the closures to install new lighting in the Penmaenbach tunnel, in Conwy county, had caused "frustration" for motorists.
She said contractors were working 24/7 to finish the work by Christmas.
Ms Hart said it was part of a Â£42m project to "improve the safety and resilience of this key route".
The Welsh government announced the westbound carriageway of the A55 Penmaenbach tunnel would be completely closed at night, with just one lane open during the day, for nine weeks from 18 October.
In a statement on Monday, Ms Hart said: "I have received correspondence about this issue and appreciate that the works have caused some frustration for road users.
"Unfortunately, delays were longer than normal the week before last, and poor driver behaviour impacted on our efforts to minimise queuing.
"We are unable to re-open the westbound tunnel fully each day as this would extend the overall programme considerably, result in greater health and safety risks and significantly increase scheme costs.
"However, we did remove the eastbound traffic management during the day on the weekend to minimise delays."
Additional work is also due to take place in the Conwy and Pen-y-Clip tunnels in February and March, Ms Hart added.
She said the effect on traffic and local residents would be "significantly less" than at Penmaenbach.


Six million people with defined benefit pensions have seen their transfer values shoot up in the last year, according to a major insurance company.

Under the rules of most defined benefit schemes, workers have the right to swap their pension entitlement for money.
According to the insurer Royal London, the cash that such people can get has soared over the last 12 months.
It says some are being offered "eye-watering" sums, often tens of thousands of pounds more than a year ago.
For someone with a pension income worth £20,000, it is not uncommon to be offered 30 times that amount - in other words, £600,000 in cash.
But while selling the rights to a defined benefit (DB) pension may be useful for many people, Royal London is also warning that there can be significant disadvantages.
After working for 30 years for a credit card company, Paul Osborne, from Southend, Essex, was made redundant.
He found it hard to get another job and found himself living on benefits.
As a result, he was advised to sell his DB pension.
In 2014, he was offered a cash sum of £505,000 for it. A year later, that amount had jumped by 12%, to £567,000, an amount he accepted.
He then reinvested the sum in a drawdown pension, which currently pays him £25,000 a year.
"It has taken so much pressure off my shoulders, and I am a lot more happy," he told the BBC.
"It has given me my life back; I can't recommend it enough."
Workers with defined benefit pensions know exactly how much they will receive in retirement.
Such schemes are either based on a worker's final salary, or on their career average earnings.
Workers with defined contribution (DC) schemes save into a pension pot, which they then use to buy a retirement income. The size of the pot depends on stock market performance.
The reason for the increase in transfer values is continuing low interest rates.
Because of the methodology used by actuaries, that leads to a higher valuation of such pensions.
Royal London says selling DB pensions can offer:
But it also warns that keeping a DB pension is sensible for many people, as they offer:
However, current rules mean that those selling their DB pensions have to sell the whole lot.
Steve Webb, a former pensions minister who is now director of policy at Royal London, believes workers should be able to sell any proportion they wish - a new right to "slice and dice" their company pension.
He said the option of taking a large lump sum was "a bit all or nothing".
"You either take the whole lot out or leave it where it is," he told the BBC.
"What I'm saying is there should be a middle ground where you can go on having some of your salary-related pension, so you have got this guaranteed income, but then you have got some cash you can invest or do something more flexible with."


A new sponsor has come forward for the Great North Run.

The Newcastle to South Shields half marathon is thought to be the second largest for participation in the world.
After being sponsored for 22 years by Bupa, Morrisons stepped in for 2015, however last year the race had to go ahead without a lead sponsor.
Organiser the Great Run Company has announced that health plan provider Simplyhealth will support this and other events.
The agreement will cover runs in city's including Manchester, London, Bristol, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Edinburgh, as well as on Tyneside.
Brendan Foster, chairman and founder of the Great Run Company, said:  "The Great Run Company and Simplyhealth have a common purpose and I believe as partners we can develop something very special by helping change more and more people's behaviours for the better".


Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, has been caught on camera erupting.

23 May 2016 Last updated at 06:42 BST
It's on the southern Italian island of Sicily, where it's been firing lava and volcanic ash in to the sky.
The eruption was filmed by a local journalist, Turi Caggegi.


A suspect in the murder of west Belfast woman Jennifer Dornan had failed to return to Dublin's Mountjoy prison after a temporary release.

Ms Dornan died on Sunday 2 August. She had been stabbed before her home, in the Lagmore estate, was set on fire.
Sources have told the BBC that the 37-year-old suspect, who was arrested by Irish police (Garda??) in County Donegal on Friday, had absconded a month ago.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland is considering seeking his extradition.
Following the man's arrest, a PSNI spokesperson said they were no longer looking for anyone in connection with the murder.


A vote by British citizens to leave the European Union could have important implications for the way drugs and medicines are tested and marketed.

The referendum is being watched closely by many leading players in the pharmaceutical industry who argue that a Brexit vote would be damaging for research and patient access.
But some campaigners have argued that drugs could be made available more quickly if the UK votes to leave.
Each EU member state has its own medical regulatory body, in the UK's case the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Companies wanting to sell new drugs or devices in this country have to get them licensed by the MHRA. But an alternative route for major pharmaceutical companies is to get approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is a decentralised agency of the EU.
Through this centralised procedure, companies can get the go-ahead for medicines to be marketed across all member states. Typically, manufacturers of drugs to treat cancer and rare diseases use this central approval route.
The EMA is run by regulators from member states who staff its committees so there is input from across the EU for each approval. That means there does not need to be a separate national process and, once granted by the EMA, the centralised authorisation is valid both in member states and countries in the European Economic Area (EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). The EMA is based in London.
So what happens if there is a vote for the UK to leave? It seems certain that the EMA would move its headquarters out of London to an EU country. Some in the pharma world argue that this will in itself reduce the importance of this country in the eyes of the global drug companies.
If the UK decides to negotiate to stay in the EEA there would not, in practice, be much difference to regulation. But if the UK stays out of the EEA, drug companies would need to go through a separate process with British regulators for new products as the centralised European route would not be applicable to the UK.
Most leading players in the world of big pharma have come out in favour of Britain remaining in the EU, arguing that being outside the EMA process will deter manufacturers from selling some new drugs in this country.  The other side of the argument is that Switzerland is not a member of the EEA and has a well-established pharma industry with big names such as Hoffman-La Roche and Novartis.
Drug trials are currently carried out on a national level, with companies needing to approach each regulator and ethics committee separately.  There is a move to harmonise this procedure across the EU over the next few years, allowing a single entry point for companies that wish to carry out trials of a new drug on patients in different countries.
The Leave campaign argues that the existing EU Clinical Trials Directive has damaged medical research and innovation in the UK. The Commons Science and Technology Committee said in a recent report: "Weaknesses in the 2001 Clinical Trials Directive significantly increased the administrative burden and cost of running academic clinical trials and saw a reduction in trials taking place in Europe." But it went on to add that the new regulations due to take effect in 2018 appeared to be an improvement.
The pharma industry argues that the UK is involved in about 40% of all adult rare diseases trials in the EU at present, but this would be undermined by a change of status.  Being outside the EU, the industry claims, would mean the UK was not part of the harmonised procedure and so might lose out on some trials that might otherwise benefit patients.
Officials at the National Eczema Society have said they have been informed by two US companies that trials of new treatments would not take place in the UK in the event of Brexit.
But the EMA has been criticised for a bureaucratic and slow-moving process, which has not helped patients desperate for life-preserving drugs.  Recent media reports suggested that European approval of a breast cancer drug, palbociclib, which helps the slow the development of tumours, had been held up at a time when US regulators had fast-tracked its adoption.
The industry points out, however, that the approval documentation was submitted to EU regulators 10 months after the American Federal Drugs Administration.
Few would disagree that the result of the referendum vote is important for drug companies and their products. Whatever the outcome, though, it could take years rather than months for the implications to become clear.

An Irish watchdog is to investigate Facebook's data transfers to the US.

The Data Protection Commissioner told the High Court in Dublin that she now intends to carry out a quick investigation, having previously argued that the matter was outside her remit.
The case stems from a complaint by a privacy activist who has alleged that the social network "aids US spy agencies [with] mass surveillance".
The regulator's change of position follows a ruling by Europe's top court.
Earlier this month, the European Court of Justice ruled that the Safe Harbour trade pact - which made it easy for bodies to send data from the EU to the US for processing - was invalid.
As a result, it said, the DPC had an obligation to examine the allegations against Facebook, and ultimately decide whether to suspend transfers if it believed the firm was not providing an "adequate level of protection" for people's personal information.
Privacy campaigner Max Schrems has alleged that whistleblower Edward Snowden's leaks indicate that data held by Facebook is being widely snooped upon by the NSA as part of a programme called Prism. This, he said, was a breach of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights.
"It will be very interesting to see if [the DPC] takes action, or if they will again find reasons to not do their job in providing protection to users of Irish services," said Mr Schrems.
"Given my experience I doubt that what is today mainly a 'tech business protection authority' will wake up tomorrow and turn into real 'data protection authority' - but I guess we'll see. soon."
The social network had initially hoped to take part in the proceedings in Dublin to correct what it said were "inaccuracies" about its reported procedures and processes.
However, there was no opportunity to do so because the DPC did not contest whether it should launch an investigation.
"Facebook is not and has never been part of any programme to give the US government direct access to our servers," said a spokeswoman for the firm.
"We will respond to enquiries from the Irish Data Protection Commission as they examine the protections for the transfer of personal data under applicable law."
The case involves the Irish data watchdog because Facebook's European headquarters is in Dublin.
However, it could set a precedent that influences how other EU regulators handle complaints about data transfers by other US tech giants.


Ukraine's highest court has approved constitutional changes that would allow limited self-rule to the rebel-held eastern areas of Donetsk and Luhansk.

The changes are part of a peace deal aimed at ending fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia rebels.
But many MPs oppose autonomy for the east and the decision must be voted through parliament.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released $1.7bn (Â£1.08bn) in aid to Ukraine.
The payment is part of a bailout aimed at stabilising Ukraine's struggling economy. The country is also trying to reach a deal with its main creditors on restructuring its debts.
On the ground, sporadic clashes continue in the east. The West says there is clear evidence of Russian regular troops helping the rebels and arming them with heavy weapons - something Moscow denies.
The constitutional changes are part of a general plan to devolve powers from the Ukrainian central government to the regions, the BBC's David Stern reports from the capital Kiev.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called Friday's constitutional court ruling "an important step that moves us closer to momentous changes for the state".
In a Facebook post he said that "for the first time in Ukraine's history, its head of state and government are ceding a large degree of their powers to the regions".
"This will make our country powerful and whole," he added.
Ukraine still insists, however, that elections in Donetsk and Luhansk must comply with the electoral rules set in Kiev - rather than terms set by the separatists.


US Congresswomen have protested for the right to bare arms in parts of Washington DC's Capitol building.

The National Rifle Association may be disappointed to learn that this is not a typo. They are not campaigning to bear weapons, but to stand against the Congressional dress code.
The long-standing code bans sleeveless tops, among other things.
The protest comes after a number of women have recently reported being told their outfits violated the rules.
Female reporters have said they had been prevented from entering the lobby area, where the press meets to ask questions of US politicians.
On Friday, Representative Jackie Speier tweeted to encourage colleagues to dress in clothes that showed their arms, calling the protest "Sleeveless Friday".
A group of around 25 women gathered on the steps of Congress, wearing sleeveless shirts and dresses.
"It's 2017 and women vote, hold office, and choose their own style. Time to update House Rules to reflect the times!" tweeted Congress member Chellie Pingree.
Although the rules are long-standing, they are rarely enforced, and so those affected recently expressed surprise.
News network CBS said one reporter tried to fashion makeshift sleeves out of her notebook so she would be able to work.
The sleeves rule also applies to men, who are required to wear suit jackets and ties to enter the same areas.
Open-toed shoes are also not allowed.
Temperatures in Washington on Friday reached 36C (97F).
Policing of the rules is left to the chamber's security team, under the guidance of the house speaker.
After a backlash, House Speaker Paul Ryan emphasised that the code had not been devised under his term, and agreed it needs to be modernised.
"It came to my attention that there was an issue about dress code," he said in a press conference on Thursday morning, with a laugh.
Speaker Ryan said, earlier in June, that members should wear "appropriate business attire".
In the UK, a similar debate recently erupted when House of Commons Speaker John Bercow said he was happy to relax the rules.
In June, he accepted a question from a member of parliament who was not wearing a tie.
He also said members should wear "businesslike attire".
Yet what this constitutes in 2017 - especially with the rise of more casual media and tech companies - is not always clear.


Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony has criticised his players on social media following Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Colchester.

The Irishman gave 11 reasons why his players had annoyed him during a loss which left Posh 11th in League One.
"Like all fans and our manager, there are many things I have the hump with after today. Care to know them all?" he asked before listing his gripes.
The self-made millionaire singled-out a number of players in his posts.
MacAnthony, who became Peterborough chairman eight years ago, finished with a message to any players who had taken offence.
"Oh and finally," he said. "If any of my players are bit too sensitive to what's been said, feel free to let me know anytime. Or, alternatively, just do your job!"
MacAnthony's list of grievances was:


The National Trust has announced the design teams shortlisted to rebuild an 18th Century mansion destroyed by fire.

Sixty teams submitted plans for Clandon Park House in Surrey, which was reduced to a charred shell in 2015.
The National Trust has announced a shortlist of six teams, as well as the names of those on the jury, which will make a final decision after a public consultation over the summer.
Building work is expected to begin by early 2019, the National Trust said.
The National Trust said it wanted plans to combine restoring state rooms in the Grade I-listed building with new galleries and visitor spaces.
Sandy Nairne, who is chairman of the jury, said: "We received an excellent set of submissions, offering many fascinating collaborations and partnerships.
"The shortlist represents a collection of great talent from the UK and abroad.
"The teams that were selected had thoroughly analysed the conservation issues and design opportunities, and proposed thoughtful and creative approaches."
The six shortlisted teams will create concept designs which will go on public display in the late summer, The winning team is due to be announced in early autumn, the National Trust said.
The trust said the high-profile project had a Â£30m construction value.


New technology to combat rhino poaching is being trialled in South Africa.

In a tie-up between South African technology firm Dimension Data and networking giant Cisco, the technology will track vehicles and people entering the reserve rather than animals.
There are only about 25,000 rhinos left in the wild, with the majority in South Africa.
It is estimated that about 1,000 are killed each year, primarily for their horn.
The firms have set up a local area network and wi-fi hotspots around the private, unnamed reserve, which is adjacent to the Kruger national park.
The next stage will be to link CCTV and infra-red cameras with thermal imaging, drones and vehicle tracking sensors to the network.
Tracking sensors are placed on vehicles and people are informed about the tracking when they enter the reserve. Car registrations are also checked at the gate against a national database of stolen cars and personal IDs are scrutinised.
The plan is to replicate it in other reserves not just to protect rhinos but other endangered species including elephants, lions and tigers.
Drones have been used before to help conservation efforts and last year British scientists from the University of St Andrews showed off a system dubbed Protect Rapid (real-time anti-poaching intelligence device) that combined a satellite collar with a heart-rate monitor and video cameras that are embedded in rhino's horns.
The heart-rate monitor triggers the alarm and rangers are immediately dispatched.
There are other schemes to place microchips under the skin of the animals.
One of the key advantages of the new system is that it is non-invasive, said Dimension Data executive Bruce Watson.
"We don't touch the animals by darting them with tranquilisers to insert sensors into their horns, or insert a chip under their skin. This can be extremely stressful and risky for the animal and we've seen a number of rhinos either dying, or going blind, and having to be euthanised."
Dr Paul Glover-Kapfer, the World Wildlife Fund's technology adviser, told the BBC that technology was "an increasing factor" in WWF's global work.
"The system outlined by Cisco and Data Dimensions, whilst not a panacea, is a welcome addition on this front."
But he questioned how applicable it would be "outside of well-funded protected areas".
"To be truly transformative, technology needs to be accessible, both in terms of its technical complexity and affordability.
Connectivity in particular is a huge challenge facing many conservation organisations, and WWF is working with technology leaders to design systems for real-time data transfer to and from the remote areas within which we work."


Manchester United manager David Moyes says he finds his club's start to the new season "hard to believe".

Among their first five Premier League games, the champions host Chelsea and Manchester City and Liverpool away.
Arsenal: Aston Villa (H), Fulham (A), Tottenham (H), Sunderland (A), Stoke (H).
Aston Villa: Arsenal (A), Chelsea (A), Liverpool (H), Newcastle (H), Norwich (A)
Chelsea: Hull (H), Aston Villa (H), Man Utd (A), Everton (A), Fulham (H).
Man City: Newcastle (H), Cardiff (A), Hull (H), Stoke (A), Man Utd (H).
Man Utd: Swansea (A), Chelsea (H), Liverpool (A), Crystal Palace (H), Man City (A).
Tottenham: Crystal Palace (A), Swansea (H), Arsenal (A), Norwich (H), Cardiff (A).
Moyes said: "I find it hard to believe that's the way the balls came out of the bag, that's for sure."
The Premier League responded by saying: "We have absolutely assured him the process is random and above board. He has accepted those assurances."
A league spokesman also confirmed that Moyes had put his concerns to them directly.
However earlier on Thursday the Scotsman said: "I think it's the hardest start for 20 years that Manchester United have had.
"I hope it's not because Manchester United won the league quite comfortably last year [that] the fixtures have been made much more difficult."
Moyes officially took over from Sir Alex Ferguson, who retired after 26 trophy-laden years in charge, on 1 July. The former Everton boss saw his new side win the Charity Shield with a 2-0 victory against Wigan last week. They start their Premier League campaign away at Swansea, before facing Chelsea, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Manchester City.
Manchester City, who finished second last season, play two promoted clubs, Hull and Cardiff.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will face two teams who finished in the bottom half last season as well as Hull, Everton and Man Utd.
Stats courtesy of Opta (only includes clubs which have been in the Premier League for a minimum of 16 seasons)
Four of Arsenal's opening five opponents finished in the bottom half last season, although they do have the derby against Tottenham. Spurs also face two promoted teams as well as Swansea and Norwich.
Meanwhile, Moyes refused to be drawn on whether Wayne Rooney, who has been the subject of two bids from Chelsea, would feature in Saturday's season-opener at Swansea.
The striker, 27, missed Sunday's Community Shield win over Wigan with a shoulder injury but was fit enough to start England's international friendly victory over Scotland on Wednesday before being replaced by match-winner Rickie Lambert.
"It was great for Wayne to get fitness and he played for 65 minutes or so, so overall I was really pleased with the outcome," said Moyes, who was at the game to watch Rooney and his club-mates Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley.
"Hopefully when I get back to Old Trafford I will be able to tell you how he is and how his fitness is so. Until I assess that I can't say any more."


BP is to invest about £670m to extend the life of its North Sea assets.

BP hopes the investment will secure the future of its Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP) fields until at least 2030.
Regional president Trevor Garlick said the sector was facing challenges but that the company remained committed to improving competitiveness.
He said the main areas of focus were the west of Shetland and central North Sea.
Mr Garlick said: "These are challenging times for the industry and we are having to make hard choices.
"Nonetheless, we remain committed to improving the competitiveness of the North Sea and to maximising economic recovery from our fields."
He explained: "BP's primary areas of focus are the west of Shetland and central North Sea, where we are investing in both new developments such as Clair Ridge and Quad204, and in extending the life of our mature assets.
"Two weeks ago we welcomed the arrival of the Safe Caledonia flotel into the ETAP area, launching the start of a major investment programme to renew the platform and extend its field life.
"In parallel, we are drilling new wells on ETAP's Machar and Marnock fields, replacing subsea infrastructure, and deploying new technologies to help maximise the fields' recovery.
"ETAP holds significant potential and we are working to ensure its reliability, efficiency and long-term competitiveness. This project will secure the future of the field until 2030 and beyond."
Last month, BP reported a sharp fall in profits for the three months to the end of June.
Industry body Oil and Gas UK's chief executive Deirdre Michie said: "It is encouraging to see the continuing investment BP is making in its North Sea assets and projects to deliver a secure indigenous supply of energy for the country.
"Given the harsh business environment upstream oil and gas companies currently face, with the oil price more than halved since this time last year, industry as a whole is putting a great deal of effort into improving the performance of its assets - and that is something we'll look to explore in further detail in our 2015 Economic Report next month."


A "highly predatory" offender has been jailed after admitting sexual activity with a young girl from Powys.

Mark Owen, 49, contacted the 14-year-old over the internet and exchanged more than 1,400 messages.
Swansea Crown Court heard he met up with her at Machynlleth railway station and planned sexual activity with her.
Owen, from Caerphilly, was on licence from prison at the time for previous sex offences against underage girls.
The girl's mother examined her daughter's mobile phone and was "horrified and alarmed" to discover the messages.
One revealed Owen's plans to have sex with her in the woods, and he even asked "how many babies would she want?"
On 26 September 2015, the day Owen travelled to meet the girl in Machynlleth, they had communicated on 161 occasions.
The court heard there was no sexual activity that day, but more arrangements had been made to meet up.
Owen initially denied contacting the girl, but a hand writing expert proved he had written a letter to her asking for photographs.
He admitted sexual activity with a girl under 16, breaching the terms of his licence from prison and a sexual harm prevention order.
Sentencing Owen to jail for nine and a half years, Judge Peter Heywood told him: "You are highly predatory and have a deviant interest in young girls."


The danger posed by growing resistance to antibiotics should be ranked along with terrorism on a list of threats to the nation, the government's chief medical officer for England has said.

Professor Dame Sally Davies described it as a "ticking time bomb".
She warned that routine operations could become deadly in just 20 years if we lose the ability to fight infection.
Dame Sally urged the government to raise the issue during next month's G8 Summit in London.
Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat.
It happens when organisms are able to survive medicines aimed to destroy them.
Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics, viruses to antivirals and parasites to drugs like antimalarials.
The World Health Organization says 150,000 deaths a year are caused by multi-drug resistant tuberculosis.
Dame Sally said: "If we don't take action, then we may all be back in an almost 19th Century environment where infections kill us as a result of routine operations. We won't be able to do a lot of our cancer treatments or organ transplants."
She said pharmaceutical companies needed to be encouraged to develop new drugs, because the manufacture of antibiotics was not viewed as profitable.
"We haven't had a new class of antibiotics since the late 80s and there are very few antibiotics in the pipeline of the big pharmaceutical companies that develop and make drugs," she said.
"We haven't as a society globally incentivised making antibiotics. It's quite simple - if they make something to treat high blood pressure or diabetes and it works, we will use it on our patients every day.
"Whereas antibiotics will only be used for a week or two when they're needed, and then they have a limited life span because of resistance developing anyway."
Ray, from Devon, says he is extremely concerned about antibiotic resistance.
"I have recurring Cellulitus. It is affected by bacteria. I've had seven bouts over the last two years.
"My last attack lasted for seven weeks and I had to take a combination of two antibiotics for it because the normal one my doctor normally prescribes didn't work.
"It's always in the back of my mind that next time it might not be treatable.
"We should be continuing our research into different antibiotics, but pharmaceutical companies are governed by money and politics."
Dame Sally said action was needed to overcome this "market failure" and pointed to the Innovative Medicines Initiative - an EU funded body whose aim is to promote the development of new medicines.
Dr Ibrahim Hassan, a consultant microbiologist at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester, said there are more cases of patients with bacterial infections resistant to antibiotics - meaning there are fewer treatment options.
"All you can hope of is a bit of holy water because you don't have too much option in terms of treatment.
"We're beginning to see that in some hospitals, patients coming in with this infection with no antibiotic that can be used to treat them."
Dame Sally's warning coincides with the publication of the second volume of her annual report which details the burden posed by infectious diseases.
Death rates for infectious diseases have declined in developed countries in recent decades due to improvements in hygiene and sanitation, widespread immunisation and effective drug treatments.
Bacterial species are divided into two large groups based on the structure of their cell wall and their response to staining with a dye.
A Gram positive results in a violet colour while a Gram negative is pink.
Gram positive bacteria include Staphylococcus and Streptococcus   Gram negative include E. coli, Klebsiella and Salmonella.
But the report says they still account for 7% of all deaths in England and account for one in five days off work.
It says in decades to come we risk "losing the war" against microbes - and standard surgical procedures such as hip replacements could become riskier, as would treatments that suppress the immune system such as chemotherapy or organ transplant.
Dame Sally said it was a global issue for governments, the medical profession, the pharmaceutical industry and individuals.
A post-antibiotic future? Read moreWhat are your experiences?
She also said the over-use of antibiotics was an issue in animal husbandry, agriculture and fish farming.
She urged politicians to treat the threat as seriously as the superbug meticillin (also called methicillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.
Cases have fallen by 80% since 2003 through improved hygiene measures in hospitals.
Health officials say other infections have now overtaken MRSA as major sources of healthcare-acquired infections.
In particular, cases of E.coli and Klebsiella bacteria have increased by two-thirds in recent years and are now the most frequent cause of hospital acquired infection.
Both types of bacteria - known as Gram negative - are commonly found in the gut but can cause blood infections.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland 99,000 cases of blood stream infections were reported in 2011-12.  E.coli alone accounted for 36% of cases compared with just 1.6% due to MRSA.
The report estimates that up to 5,000 patients a a year die from Gram-negative blood poisoning each year, half with an antibiotic-resistant organism.
Dame Sally said no new classes of antibiotics had been introduced since 1987 whereas new pathogens were emerging every year, and existing bugs were developing resistance to current treatments.
A five-year UK Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy will be published shortly which will advocate the responsible use of antibiotics and strengthened surveillance.
The Chief Medical Officer said antimicrobial resistance would be put on the government's national risk register of civil emergencies - which provides guidance on potential threats such as terrorist attacks, pandemic flu and major flooding.
Dame Sally said she was shocked by the "woeful education" in antimicrobial resistance given to many medical students and doctors; she wanted to ensure fewer antibiotics were prescribed, so that they are used only when needed.
Dame Sally is not the first chief medical officer to warn of the dangers of antibiotic overuse.
In 2008 her predecessor, Liam Donaldson, urged doctors not to use antibiotics to treat colds and coughs as these are caused by viruses and do not respond to antibiotics.
In 1999, Sir Kenneth Calman made a similar plea, saying the public had a responsibility not to demand antibiotics.


The Sakurajima volcano, on the island of Kyushu in Japan, has started erupting throwing lava and ash in to the air in spectacular style.

5 February 2016 Last updated at 12:39 GMT
The smoke lit up the sky with bolts of lightning, caused by tiny pieces of rock, ash and ice rubbing together and making static electricity.
Sakurajima's last major eruption was in September. This area of the country sits on the Pacific "Ring of fire" and has more than 100 volcanoes.
The Ring of Fire is an area where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen a lot.
There have been no reports of anyone having been hurt by Sakurajima's eruption so far.

Mortgage lending in 2015 was the highest for seven years, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).

It says homeowners borrowed Â£220.3bn last year, up 8% on 2014 and the highest since 2008's total of Â£247.8bn.
However, the figure is still well below the Â£356bn lent at the peak of the property market in 2007.
The CML said lending had recovered faster than expected. Growing wages, falling unemployment and cheap mortgage deals were among the reasons.
Nevertheless, it said the outlook for 2016 was less certain.
"The supply of existing and new properties on the market remains weak, and affordability pressures weigh on activity," said CML economist Mohammad Jamei.
"There is an added element of uncertainty as we wait to see the impact of tax changes on the buy-to-let sector."
Buy-to-let landlords face an increase in stamp duty from April, and a reduction in tax relief from 2017.


Police officers who chased a boy of 16 and shouted a warning moments before he was hit by a train, could not have prevented his death, a report found.

Officers had questioned and then followed Mitchell Rodgers, 16, shortly before he was killed near Belper station, in Derbyshire, on 28 March.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said the officers had "no case to answer".
The report said the boy was unable to react in time to the officer's warning.
After being stopped by police, Mitchell ran off, the report said.
"A male police officer got out [of a passing police car] and started to give chase down the alleyway that the young man had entered," it stated.
The teenager then went onto the rail tracks and it was then that an officer shouted a warning about the train
IPCC commissioner Kathryn Stone, who oversaw the investigation, said: "Mitchell's death is a tragic loss to his family and friends and my thoughts are with them.
"There was nothing to suggest the officers had acted in an unprofessional manner or that they could have in any way prevented this tragic accident."
She added that a family liaison officer has offered support to Mitchell's family throughout the investigation.
An inquest into was opened in April on Mitchell, a pupil at the John Flamsteed Community School in Denby, and subsequently adjourned.


Scottish ministers have agreed to grant legal aid to bereaved families who are bidding to stage a private prosecution over the Glasgow bin lorry tragedy.

The Sweeney/McQuade family want Harry Clarke prosecuted as an inquiry found the crash could have been avoided if he had not lied about his medical history.
Mr Clarke will also receive legal aid if judges rule the case can go ahead.
Legal aid will also be given to a driver in another private prosecution over the deaths of two students.
Mr Clarke, 58, was unconscious when the Glasgow City Council bin lorry veered out of control on 22 December 2014, killing six people and injuring 17 others.
Those who died in the crash were Erin McQuade, 18, her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and his 69-year-old wife Lorraine, from Dumbarton, Stephenie Tait, 29, and Jacqueline Morton, 51, both from Glasgow, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh.
The other case concerns Mhairi Convy, 18, and Laura Stewart, 20, who died after William Payne passed out and his Range Rover hit them on North Hanover Street, Glasgow, in 2010.
An attempt to prosecute Mr Payne was later dropped by the Crown in 2013.
Like the Sweeney/McQuade family, the girls' families have lodged a Bill of Criminal letters with the Crown Office in a bid to start a private prosecution.
Judges have yet to rule whether either case can ago ahead, but the Scottish government has said that it will grant legal aid to both sides in the bin lorry case and Mr Payne in the other case.
It is understood that the families of Ms Convy and Ms Stewart have not applied for legal aid.
Announcing the decision, Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "In light of the unique and special circumstances of this case, which raises fundamental questions that have not previously been tested in case law, Scottish ministers believe it is in the public interest that all parties are adequately represented.
"As such, ministers have agreed to make legal aid available for the families of the bin lorry tragedy.
"In line with human rights requirements that anybody facing potential criminal prosecution must be legally represented, legal aid will also be made available to the driver of the bin lorry, Mr Clarke, and to Mr Payne in relation to another potential private prosecution in separate case."
Mr Matheson said that the decision to grant legal aid was "not being made on the basis that ministers agree that there was any error in law in the decision by the Crown".
He added: "The lord advocate has set out publicly the basis for the decision not to progress a prosecution following the bin lorry tragedy."


An Israeli court has convicted an ultra-orthodox Jew of murder over the stabbing to death of a 16-year-old girl at Jerusalem's Gay Pride parade last year.

Yishai Schlissel was also convicted of six counts of attempted murder.
He managed to infiltrate the parade three weeks after completing a 10-year sentence for a similar attack in 2005.
The court said the fact that the police had known about Schlissel and not stopped him was unconscionable.
Shortly after his release, he had lashed out at homosexuality in interviews and said the march needed to be stopped.
In anti-gay pamphlets, he asked Jews to "risk beatings or imprisonment" to act against the event.
He stabbed six people during the march in Jerusalem's city centre before being arrested. Shira Banki later died in hospital.
'We marched through blood'
Israeli media said Schlissel was initially turned away by police but managed to return to the parade by using side streets.
A police investigation last year called for the removal of six senior Israeli officers over the attack.
The Gay Pride event has long been a source of tension between Jerusalem's secular community and its Jewish Orthodox groups.


A coach firm has spoken out over an allegation it ejected a passenger from a coach due to his religious beliefs.

National Express was reported by the Bristol Post to have thrown a Muslim man off a bus last week when another passenger said they felt uncomfortable.
The firm denied the report and has used Twitter to reply to more than 450 people saying the man refused to stow excess luggage and then became abusive.
It said its staff were "extremely upset" at these "untrue allegations".
The incident happened on 3 December on a National Express coach travelling from Bristol to London.
The Bristol newspaper quoted two other passengers, including a university student who said the complaint was "clearly made because of the man's religion".
Nick MacDonald, another passenger on the coach, told BBC Radio Bristol the man had a lot of bags which drew a complaint from a woman who implied he was suspicious.
He said the driver asked the woman to go to the office if she had a complaint, which she did, and another National Express member of staff came to the bus and asked the man to leave.
"The man left relatively quietly but understandably used an expletive about it being ridiculous," Mr MacDonald added.
"Everyone on the bus was staring, and people were questioning did it really happen. It was obvious that it was down to the way he looked."
According to National Express, the customer boarded with excess luggage which became an issue for "a number of other passengers who complained".
The customer involved was unhappy to put the extra items in the hold and became abusive towards staff who were attempting to resolve the issue, the firm said on its website.


China's first large domestically made passenger aircraft has completed its maiden flight, mounting a major challenge to Boeing and Airbus.

After about 90 minutes in the air the plane landed safely back at Pudong airport in Shanghai.
The plane is a key symbol of Beijing's soaring ambitions to enter the global aviation market.
Made by state-owned firm Comac, it has been in planning since 2008 but the flight was repeatedly pushed back.
For Friday's maiden flight, the plane carried only its skeleton crew of five pilots and engineers and took off in front of a crowd of thousands of dignitaries, aviation workers and enthusiasts.
Ahead of the flight, state television said the plane would fly at an altitude of only 3,000m (9,800 feet), some 7,000m lower than a regular trip, and reach a speed of around 300km/h (186mph).
The C919 is designed to be a direct competitor to Boeing's 737 and the Airbus A320.
In an interview carried out in March but released on Chinese television shortly before the launch, test pilot Cai Jun said he had full confidence in the plane.
"A pilot knows clearly the condition of a plane. He knows very well whether it will work. So I'm not afraid at all, but focusing more on whether the plane is in its best shape now," he said.
He also described halting an earlier taxiing test in late 2016 because of a problem with the brakes.
"It's just like driving a car. I put the brakes on, and the plane started to shake," he said.
He said he had had to argue with the plane's engineers help refine the design.
"For the designers, the plane is their baby, which they believe is perfect. But our task is to tell them that their baby is not perfect, it has strengths and weaknesses, and they have to make improvements," the pilot said.
The plane still relies on a wide array of imported technology though, it is for instance powered by engines from French-US supplier CFM International.
Orders have already been placed for more than 500 of the planes, with commitments from 23 customers, say officials, mainly Chinese airlines. The main customer is China Eastern Airlines.
Europe's aviation safety regulator has started the certification process for the C919 - a crucial step for the aircraft to be successful on the international market.
China has had ambitions to build its own civil aircraft industry since the 1970s, when leader Mao Zedong's wife, Jiang Qing, personally backed a project.
But the Y-10, built in the late 1970s, was impractical due to its heavy weight and only three of the aircraft were ever made.
It's estimated that the global aviation market will be worth $2tn (Â£1.55tn) over the next 20 years.


Gambian winger Modou Barrow has signed a new three-year deal at Swansea City.

The 23-year-old, who had two years left on his previous contract, has committed to the club until June 2019.
Barrow made 25 appearances last season and became the first Gambian to score in the Premier League after finding the net against Bournemouth in March.
He is among the Swans squad which travels to America on Thursday for a two-game tour as part of the club's pre-season preparations.


Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor is confident that a new blueprint for the future of Scotland's youth football will appease any doubters.

Project Brave is the product of a Scottish FA working party.
And some clubs are unhappy at the suggestion that only eight would be given elite academy status.
"I am optimistic that solutions will be found for some aspects," said group member MacGregor, who stressed that work continues on the blueprint.
"Any criticism of it is a bit premature as there's a bit of mileage to go before it is finalised.
"A lot of good work has gone into it, there was a lot of good people involved and most of it I agree with."
Following its examination, Project Brave suggests:
Project Brave was initiated in April by Brian McClair, who left his role as SFA performance director three months later and is yet to be replaced, in a bid to improve the quality of players available to the national squad.
The proposals have already been sent back to the group for further examination by Scottish Premiership clubs, while Championship representatives are due to have their own discussions this week.
However, questions over funding for club academies have left some clubs wanting further examination.
"It has been criteria-based," said MacGregor about current rules governing funding of academies.
"But the focus should be performance-based to reward success."
The SFA says it will reveal further details once the proposal has reached the stage of being approved by its board.
Although there is no specific timescale for its publication, a shortlist has been drawn up for the appointment of a new performance director and that process is nearing a conclusion.
Responding to the report, Gary Naysmith, the former Scotland left-back who is now East Fife manager, echoed the thoughts of other managers who have told BBC Scotland that they would welcome a change to second-string arrangements.
"I don't think the Under-20 Development League works," he said. "I've watched them and I don't think it's competitive enough.
"Thinking back to reserve games I've played, it was brilliant.
"You would have players who were out of favour, players who were coming back from injury and that progressed you on.
"The under-20s is false. They are all trying to play out from the back, the goalie is passing it to a player on the edge of the area, but that doesn't prepare them for when they come to a team like mine on loan - it's like they are caught in the headlights."


Leicester have completed the signing of France centre Maxime Mermoz from Toulon until the end of the season.

Tigers were awaiting official clearance from the French Rugby Federation and the 30-year-old, who has won 35 Test caps, is now able to cover for injured duo Manu Tuilagi and Matt Toomua.
Head coach Aaron Mauger said: "We are missing two big players in midfield.
"We're very happy to be able to bring in a player of Maxime's style, quality and experience."


New images have been released of three potential witnesses to the disappearance of missing RAF serviceman Corrie Mckeague.

The 23-year-old vanished while on a night out with friends on 24 September in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Suffolk Police officers combing through CCTV footage have released stills of three people who have yet to be traced.
Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline in Fife, was last seen walking alone in Bury St Edmunds at about 03:25 BST.
He walked into a dead-end area known as the "horseshoe" and was not seen again.
Following a previous appeal, police still need to trace two people shown on CCTV - a cyclist and an older man.
A name had been given for the older man, but this person has since been traced and he was not the man in the image.
A third picture has also been released. It is a better image of a potential witness, believed to have featured in pictures previously released on 8 December.
All of the footage was filmed in Bury St Edmunds town centre between 03.15 and 05:20 BST.
Police said the vast majority of people in the area who were captured on CCTV had been identified, traced and spoken to.
The three people in the images were the last seen on foot in the area who have yet to be traced.
Det Supt Katie Elliott said police had worked through information in a "logical way".
She added police have not received any information as yet from an intelligence services company employed by Mr Mckeague's family, but anything passed on by them would be considered as part of the ongoing inquiry.


"She was such fun to work with," recalls Jean Alexander, who played Coronation Street's Hilda Ogden, of her former co-star Betty Driver, who has died at the age of 91.

Driver was one of the soap's best-loved and longest-serving stars. Here, Miss Alexander remembers the actress, with whom she worked for 18 years.
"Betty was great fun. She came a few years after I joined and we became great friends. She'd always got a giggle in her voice. A great sense of humour.
"She was marvellous to work with. Professional to the fingertips. Absolutely. She knew every word, she never fluffed a line, she never let anybody down, she was absolutely brilliant.
"She only had to look at me and say: 'Now then Hilda,' and I would be off in fits. She creased me when we had scenes together. I could hardly do the scene for laughing. She had the mobile facial expressions, which said everything. She didn't need to say anything sometimes. You could tell by her face what the character was thinking.
"Every time I had scenes with Betty we had a load of fun and the giggles, and you don't get that all the time when you're working in this business.
"We didn't have any big storylines together - the only time I saw Betty was in the pub, as a rule. Hilda was a cleaner in the pub so I saw Betty quite a lot in there but I don't think we met anywhere else.
"We kept in touch by the phone. When I was in it, we went into Granada every day and did rehearsals. But they don't do that now. They might be somewhere else on location, or they may be in the studio doing half a dozen different scenes, so it's impossible to go and see people. So I didn't see Betty much once the format changed.
"She was a lovely person. I shall miss her very much. We worked well together for a long time. She'll be very much missed by quite a lot of people, not just for the work but for the friendships."
Jean Alexander was speaking to BBC News entertainment reporter Ian Youngs.


Thousands of magazine subscribers with WHSmith have received emails containing the details of other customers owing to a processing "bug".

Details including names, addresses and phone numbers have been emailed to other customers.
The information has come from the retailer's "contact us" form, which has then been sent on to others.
Angry customers have complained on social media. WHSmith said that no payment details had been compromised.
"We have been alerted to a systems processing bug by I-subscribe, who manage our magazine subscriptions. It is a bug not a data breach," the retailer said.
"We believe that this has impacted fewer than 22 customers who left a message on the 'contact us' page where this bug was identified, that has resulted in some customers receiving emails that have been misdirected in error."
WHSmith has not revealed how many people received the details of those customers, but it is understood to be thousands.
The BBC has seen some emails which show people using the contact form to complain about the initial problem, in an apparent vicious circle.
WHSmith added that the problematic form had been taken down and those affected were being contacted with an apology.
"We can confirm that this issue has not impacted or compromised any customer passwords or payment details," it said.
The Information Commissioner's Office, which polices data security, said: "We are aware of an incident regarding WHSmith and are making enquiries."


The body running Scottish athletics hopes Glasgow's staging of the 2014 Commonwealth Games is already having a positive effect on the athletes.

Seven prospective Scotland team members exceeded the Commonwealth Games standard over the weekend.
Hayley Haining, Derek Hawkins and Susan Partridge starred in London's marathon.
James McLachlan and Jade Nimmo excelled in long jump events, while hammer thrower Mark Dry and 800m specialist Lynsey Sharp gave notice of their form.
Haining, now 41, ran two hours, 36 minutes and 52 seconds in London and could yet become Scotland's oldest ever female athlete at a Commonwealth Games.
Hawkins was the top British runner in the elite men's race. He ran 2:16:50 in only his second marathon.
Maybe what happened in the countdown to London will happen in the run-up to Glasgow - and the home Games factor has an effect
Partridge, from Oban, came ninth in a time of 2:30:46, which is a good enough time for a place at the World Championships in Moscow in August.
"I am thrilled with ninth place. The best I have managed before at this kind of level is 17th so to be in the top 10 in the London Marathon feels special," she told scottishathletics.
'I was always very hopeful about the Glasgow 2014 standard, which is at 2:40:00, and hopefully I am pretty secure for that now."
At the Mount Sac Relays in Walnut, California, McLachlan produced the second best long jump in Scottish athletics history and Dry gave the third-best hammer throw of his career.
McLachlan's 7.86m pushed him into second place in the Scottish all-time list for the long jump behind record-holder Darren Ritchie and was well clear of the 7.60m that is the Glasgow 2014 standard.
Dry, meanwhile, finished third in the elite hammer competition in California, with his best throw of 74.46m a long way beyond the 65m asked for the Glasgow games.
And Sharp ran inside the required time in her first 800m run of the season. At Walnut her time of 2:02:63 landed her sixth place and was inside the Commonwealth Games standard of 2:02:80.
She tweeted: 'Happy with my opener and great to be back in competition again.'
Finally, in Florida, Nimmo leapt 6.31m to get inside the long jump standard of 6.20m.
"Maybe what happened in the countdown to London will happen in the run-up to Glasgow - and the home Games factor has an effect,' said Partridge.
"You are going to get people coming out of the woodwork, in a manner of speaking, and trying to come up with a performance which wins them a Scottish vest for a Commonwealth Games in Scotland.
"We cannot possibly say Hayley Haining has 'come out of the woodwork' because she has been around for a number of years and has been such a good athlete. She was always liable to have a go at the Glasgow 2014 standard.
"But I certainly do think the thought of the Games coming up will make people work harder in training and compete better.
"I'm certainly hoping now that being nine minutes inside the women's marathon standard will mean I am in a good position but there's a long way to go until the selection periods close.
"There is plenty of time for other people to run marathons."


Anger over Brexit and austerity caused the Tories to lose seats, Theresa May's new chief of staff has told the BBC.

Gavin Barwell, who lost his Croydon Central seat but has since taken a key role in Downing Street, said Labour had "tapped into" concerns about the impact of years of public sector pay freezes.
Speaking before his latest appointment he told Panorama his party must do more to listen to Remain voters' concerns.
The Tories won 42.4% of the vote but Theresa May lost her overall majority.
The party's failure to win outright after Mrs May's decision to call a snap election has led to recriminations and calls for the prime minister - who is seeking to form a minority government with the support of the Democratic Unionist Party - to step down.
The prime minister will address backbench MPs later after reshuffling her cabinet in an attempt to shore up her position - and has won the backing of senior colleagues such as David Davis, Boris Johnson and Amber Rudd.
Mr Barwell lost his marginal seat by more than 5,000 votes as Labour saw its vote increase by 10%. Jeremy Corbyn's party enjoyed a surge in support across the capital, where it picked up a number of seats, although it still ended up with 56 fewer seats across the UK than the Conservatives.
Speaking to Panorama, in a special edition to be broadcast at 20:30 BST, Mr Barwell told the BBC's Nick Robinson that his party must learn the lessons of what had happened.
"There's a conversation I particularly remember with a teacher who had voted for me in 2010 and 2015 and said 'you know I understand the need for a pay freeze for a few years to deal with the deficit but you're now asking for that to go on potentially for 10 or 11 years and that's too much'.
"That is something that Jeremy Corbyn was able to tap into."
On Brexit, he said that there was evidence that "angry" Remain voters had abandoned the Conservatives.
"We are very clear in my seat, that the area of the constituency where Labour did best was the area that had voted heavily for remainâ€¦ So there's clearly evidence, I think, that people are angry about Brexit still, Jeremy Corbyn somehow managed to get them behind him."
He added: "We do need to make sure that people that are Conservative-minded that voted Remain in the referendum are happy to continue supporting our party."
Mr Barwell has replaced Mrs May's previous aides Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill who quit in the wake of the election amid concerns among MPs about the PM's leadership style.

Pressure is growing on the UK government to ratify the Paris climate change deal immediately.

A spokesman for the prime minister told the BBC the UK would ratify "as soon as possible", but did not suggest a date.
But Labour, the Lib Dems, SNP and the Greens say the UK has lost its long-term leadership on climate after the US and China jointly ratified the deal at the weekend.
They say there is no good reason for the UK to delay.
Labour warns that unless ministers start the ratification process right away they will attack the government's "failures" on climate policy in an opposition day Commons debate on Wednesday when a motion will call for immediate action.
It is supported by the Lib Dems, SNP and the Greens.
Some analysts believe ministers are delaying the process until they have their long-awaited low carbon plan in place.
This plan was due last year but postponed until late this year following the chancellor's sweeping cuts to subsidies for clean energy.
The Commons environmental audit committee last week warned that plans for expanding the use of electric cars were failing.
The government has not yet replaced its failed Green Deal scheme to insulate homes - a problem green groups say ministers appear unable to solve.
The opposition parties say they want a return to the long-term cross-party consensus on climate policy, which they say was ended by former chancellor George Osborne.
Labour's shadow climate change minister Barry Gardiner says he has offered an "olive branch" to Business Secretary Greg Clarke, who has previously expressed great concern for the climate.
Mr Gardiner says he will turn the opposition day debate into a co-operative policy exercise if Mr Clarke begins ratification beforehand.
Mr Gardiner told BBC News: "The normal procedure for domestic ratification would see the government issue a Command Paper, which would be discussed by a small committee of MPs.
"The government has not indicated it is ready to do this to allow the UK to be one of the founding parties to the agreement when it comes into force - most likely by the end of this year.
"We need to re-establish common ground on this vital issue. I am holding out an olive branch to the government.
"Their acceptance would be a welcome acknowledgement that climate change is not just one of the most important challenges we face but is one where all politicians must be seen to be working together."
Many observers at the Paris climate conference judged that former prime minister David Cameron's speech, urging collective action on climate change, was one of the finest - and the UK has played a long-term leadership role on climate change.
Liberal Democrat spokeswoman Lynne Featherstone told the BBC: "Now America and even China have ratified the Paris Agreement, Britain must move as swiftly as possible to sign.
"This is a hugely important example of where Britain should be working with our European partners to set an example for the rest of the world."
