Manager Chris Coleman says Wales showed "heart and courage" as they reached the Euro 2016 quarter-finals with a 1-0 win over Northern Ireland.

Wales edged a tense last-16 match at the Parc des Princes in Paris courtesy of Gareth McAuley's own goal.
Coleman's side will face Belgium or Hungary in the last eight.
"These boys, the good thing about them is they have a bit of spirit about them and when they're not playing so well they can hang in," Coleman said.
"We showed a lot of heart, a lot of courage and showed another side to our game.
"We came through it and it is a fantastic achievement - it feels brilliant."
Northern Ireland had frustrated Wales with a resolute defensive display until McAuley's 75th-minute own goal.
And Coleman conceded Michael O'Neill's side, also appearing in their first European Championship finals, were the better team on the day.

"Northern Ireland were the underdogs and you wouldn't have thought that looking at the game," Coleman told BBC Sport.
"Northern Ireland are very organised. Michael has got them working very hard for each other and they're dangerous.
"We had to be patient and we hung on in there. The performance does not put a downer on it.
"I would rather be standing here, in the quarter-final, having not played at our best."
Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale, whose cross led to the winning goal, hailed Wales' achievement in reaching the quarter-finals as "incredible".
Wales are playing in a first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.
"We knew it was going to be an ugly match and no disrespect to Ireland, but they make it difficult to play and we knew that, we knew it from the start," Bale said.
"We knew that up top we were not going to get much service, there is not much space, but we worked hard and did everything we could.
"We knew one goal would likely be enough to win the game and thankfully it came for us.
"You can't ask for any more than this - it is incredible."
Wales ended the contest with skipper Ashley Williams suffering with an apparent arm injury.
Williams already seemed to be moving tentatively before a bruising collision with team-mate Jonny Williams floored and rattled him late on.
Substitute James Collins was ready to enter the game, but Williams insisted he stayed on the field.
"He's a bit tender with his shoulder. The next 24-48 hours will be key," Coleman said.
"It will be crucial whether it's bruising, whether it's impact or - hopefully not - there's damage to any ligaments or a tear in his muscle."
Having apparently recovered from the collision, Williams briefly sat down on the pitch as play continued, leading Coleman to ready a substitute.
"I thought he was struggling because he couldn't move his arm," he said. "I was going to take him off - he said he was OK to continue so, of course, I trust my captain.
"We were right to keep him on. He still made some important interceptions."
Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill felt Wales deliberately made the most of Williams' situation.
"I was disappointed with the time-wasting. The bench told Ashley Williams to sit down," he told BBC Sport.


Fernando Haddad of Brazil's governing Workers' Party (PT) has been elected mayor of Sao Paulo, the country's biggest city and financial capital.

Mr Haddad, a former education minister, defeated Jose Serra of the Social Democratic Party (PSDB) by 56% to 44%.
Mr Haddad had received vigorous backing from ex-president Lula and President Dilma Rousseff, both of the PT.
The local elections are seen as a test of the parties' strength ahead of the 2014 presidential poll.
From 1994 until 2002, the PSDB held the presidency with Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
Since then the PT has been in the post, first with Lula and from 2010 with President Rousseff.
Mr Haddad, who began his campaign with just 3% support, thanked Lula and President Rousseff for their role in his victory which saw the PSDB lose control of Sao Paulo after eight years.
"We're going to reduce the huge inequality that exists in Sao Paulo. We're simultaneously one of the richest and most unequal cities on the planet," Mr Haddad said.
Sao Paulo, home to 11 million people, is Brazil's financial and business hub, but as a sprawling megacity suffers from chronic traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure and security problems.
Voting took place on Sunday in cities where no candidate had won an outright majority in the first round on 7 October.
The PT did not enjoy success everywhere, losing by big margins in Salvador and Fortaleza, two of the biggest cities in Brazil's north-east.
In Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes of the Democratic Movement Party (PMDB) was re-elected mayor in the first round and will be in charge during the 2016 Summer Olympics.


The search for missing airman Corrie Mckeague is to continue at a landfill site for a further three weeks, police have said.

The 23-year-old RAF gunner disappeared after a night out with friends in Bury St Edmunds in September.
Despite a high-profile missing persons campaign, detectives revealed in March he may have ended up in a bin lorry.
About 3,500 tonnes of waste has been searched at a landfill site at Milton, Cambridgeshire, in the last 10 weeks.
In a statement, Suffolk Police described the operation as "so unusual".
Officers have now pinpointed rubbish dating from around the time Mr Mckeague went missing and waste from the Bury St Edmunds area.
A force spokesman said: "In view of the dates on items still being found and advice from officers on the ground... it is likely the search will continue for at least three further weeks to ensure that the area holding waste from the relevant period is comprehensively examined."
The search would then be taken "week-by-week", he added.


Under-performing schools in Norfolk have prompted watchdog Ofsted to send in inspectors.

Figures for last November show that only 54% of county pupils attend secondary schools rated good or better.
Nationally on average, 71% of secondary schools are rated good or better.  The county council said it is committed to improving education.
The figures also show 63% of primary age children go to schools rated good or better, compared to 74% nationally.
The county's schools are also underperforming compared to the similar authority of Cornwall.
In August 2012, only 47% of Norfolk secondary schools were rated good or outstanding, compared with 80% of Cornish schools.
While no secondary schools in Cornwall were rated as inadequate, 11% of these schools were inadequate in Norfolk.
Sean Harford, Ofsted regional director for the East of England, said:  "Every parent wants their child to go to a good or better school. However, in Norfolk a little over half of secondary school age children and only 63% of primary school children currently do so.
"It cannot be right that local authority areas with similar demographics - such as the size of the population and the levels of deprivation - have such varying levels of provision in schools.
"That is why we are carrying out focused school inspections across under-performing areas, where we will be looking not just at the performance of the individual schools but also the support they are receiving from their local authority."
He told the BBC that if inspectors, after talking to the school and governors, found "sufficient concern raised about the authority, we will look at the authority itself, look at advisory work by the local authority".
Gordon Boyd, children's services assistant director, said: "The county council shares parents' aspirations for their children and recognises employers' need for young people to have better skills and qualifications. Our aim is to see standards in our schools improve and many more rated 'good' or 'outstanding.
"Though overall educational attainment among our children and young people is lower than the national average, it is improving."


Canada's Marlene Stewart Streit and American Judy Bell are the latest women to become honorary members of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.

Stewart Streit, 81, is the only player to win the British, Canadian, US and Australian women's amateur titles, and Bell, 79, was a Curtis Cup captain.
In September 2014 the Royal and Ancient voted to allow women members for the first time in its 260-year history.
In February, the Princess Royal became one of the first women to join.
Along with Stewart Strait and Bell, a further eight women have also become members of the club.


Leicester City are set to sign Caen midfielder N'Golo Kante for an undisclosed fee after he passed a medical at the Premier League club.

BBC Radio Leicester reports the 24-year-old will join the Foxes for a fee of about £6m.
Kante made 37 appearances for the French top-flight side last season, scoring two goals.
If the deal goes through, he will be new manager Claudio Ranieri's first signing for the club.

Bus drivers say they were told by text message their company was closing and they would lose their jobs.

Utopia Coaches, based at Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire, provided services to rural communities between Selby, Drax, Tadcaster and York.
The company announced it was going into liquidation in a tweet on Wednesday evening, about an hour after drivers said they received the text messages.
Utopia has not responded to the BBC's request for comment.

Driver Carl Longfield said he left work on Wednesday with no idea the company was going to cease operating.
"I left the depot thinking everything was OK saying, 'see you tomorrow' and I got home and got a text at about 19:55 saying 'thank you very much but we are ceasing trading at 00:01'.
"We had no idea the company was in such a bad state," he said.
"The more concern for me is the passengers we have left behind in the remote communities. They relied on our services to get into work, to school, to colleges and they've been left remote."
Richard Green, another driver, said he felt completely "deflated" by the news and said he was also concerned for passengers.
"They relied on us but evidently the company couldn't be bothered about them."
The drivers met the company's liquidator earlier.
They said they were told employees would receive two weeks' pay if they had been with the company for two years or more.
North Yorkshire County Council said it was working to offer alternatives for subsidised services, including school bus services.
It added it was in discussions with other operators about whether it might be possible to restore some of the company's commercial routes.


Dozens of people caught a vomiting bug after swimming at the same leisure centre, it has been claimed.

As many as 80 people are believed to have fallen ill at council-run Splashes, in Rainham, Kent, on Friday.
The centre was closed on Monday as a precaution while staff deep-cleaned the pool and added extra chlorine to the water.
Medway Council said it did not know if the outbreak was linked to Splashes, which has since reopened.
A number of people said they had to go to hospital, while the mother of a one-year-old baby said her daughter was so ill that she vomited 15 times.
More news from Kent
Sam Kemsley said her baby daughter was so ill that "after every period of sickness she was screaming in pain".
"It was terrifying," she recalled.
Johanna Grant said the "very violent" sickness came on very rapidly and affected her whole family.
In a statement, Medway Council said: "We are thoroughly cleaning the pool and changing areas and have increased chlorine levels in the pool.
"We have taken necessary precautions to stop the potential further spread of germs."
It added: "We urge customers not to visit the pool when they are feeling unwell, especially when suffering with sickness, as this would be the most likely cause of any spread of illness to other customers."


St Johnstone have fined Danny Swanson and Richard Foster four weeks' wages for their on-field bust-up against Hamilton Academical.

The pair were sent off at half-time for the altercation in the 1-0 defeat.
St Johnstone have now concluded an internal investigation into the incident and imposed the "most severe" sanctions "short of summary dismissal".
In a statement the club added that both accept they brought the Perth outfit into disrepute due to the incident.
The statement continued: "The players have accepted the sanctions without question and they wish to apologise unreservedly to the supporters of the club for their behaviour.
"Both players have expressed a desire for a proportion of the fines to be utilised for free bus travel for supporters to the remaining away matches this season and the club is in full agreement with this request.
"The players will now return to training and playing duties where they can channel their energies into contributing to the continued success of the club."


Before one even begins to evaluate the decision to sack Peter Moores, it's right to highlight the circumstances in which it came about.

Rumours and reports appeared during the one-day international against Ireland, with people writing and talking about him in the past tense while he was on public display. It was humiliating for someone who, regardless of what you think of him as a coach, is a thoroughly good man.
There is supposed to be a new regime in place at the England and Wales Cricket Board, a new start after a year that has seen the public become increasingly disillusioned with the game and the manner in which it is run.
Instead, in the past few weeks, we have had confusion about a possible recall for batsman Kevin Pietersen,West Indies being called mediocre with no apology and potentially a very serious rift developing between Yorkshire and England. Now the coach has been sacked, with the news appearing widely in the media before he was told.
The administration really needs to take a long, hard look at itself and make a determined effort to improve its public relations. A few years ago, the ECB was being held up as the sporting organisation for others to look at and learn from.
At the moment, what is going on, including the various comments from the incoming chairman Colin Graves, is embarrassing. England and the game in this country appear to be no further on from the post-Ashes mess in which Moores arrived a year ago. We are back to where we started, with ill-feeling, rancour and misjudged comments. This was supposed to be a fresh start.
I feel sorry for Moores because he has worked tirelessly to make his second attempt at the job a success. Ultimately the results have not been good enough, with the defeat in the third Test in the Caribbean one too many.
Moores is a good coach - the fact he has won the County Championship with both Sussex and Lancashire tells us that - but there is a general feeling around the game that he has not cut it at this level. He has never played international cricket; that is not a pre-requisite for the coach of a national team, but in his case it has, perhaps, proved to be a disadvantage.
His final mistake came on that tour of the Caribbean. With a little more adventure, England could have won the series.
A different attack, including either the spin of Adil Rashid or pace of Liam Plunkett, might have won the first Test in Antigua, meaning England would have had a 2-0 lead before their final slide in Barbados. Moores must take his share of the blame for the conservative selection policy.
Captain Alastair Cook would have also been involved in that, but he had a relatively good tour and his position looks safe until the Ashes, when he will need to have a good series.
The decision to remove Moores seems to have been taken by the new director of cricket Andrew Strauss. How that appeared in the public domain before Strauss had even started his job is more than just careless. And it is no way to treat an employee and a decent man.
Still, it goes some way to disproving those who think Strauss is too cautious to take the job. Removing the coach before you've got your feet under the table is certainly not an act of caution.
Strauss is instinctively measured and careful. We still know little about the responsibilities of his role, so it is hard to judge how successful he will be - is he to become a selector, for example?
However, what we do know now is that one of his first duties will be to appoint a new coach.
Jason Gillespie appears to be the favourite: a man who has done an excellent job at Yorkshire with some very good players. However taking over a struggling international team very low on confidence would be a different proposition and a huge challenge.
The options of where to look for the new coach are limited because the most talented leaders in the game - the likes of former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming and ex-India and South Africa coach Gary Kirsten - are happy working in the various Twenty20 leagues and are not willing to exchange a massive pay cut for a constant slog around the world. People forget that this was a major issue when Moores was appointed for the second time - there was a dearth of high-quality candidates.
A year on, England find themselves in the same position. If they really believe Moores is not the man, it is not too late to remove him before the huge summer ahead. Better now than with an Ashes crisis looming.
But, once again, there is nothing to admire about the handling of the situation.


Most of the 39 passengers on board a coach involved in a crash with four lorries in Switzerland have arrived back in Wales.

Forty one people were hurt, four seriously, in Friday's incident on a motorway, 25 miles (40 km) from Zurich.
The vehicle was from Edwards coach operators, based near Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Edwards confirmed 34 of the holidaymakers are now back in south Wales.
Earlier, a spokesman for the operator said those returning had left Switzerland by coach at about 11:00 BST on Sunday with the rest returning "within a week".
The coach which crashed had been returning to south Wales from Italy.
Jason Edwards, director of Edwards coaches, said five people remain in hospital but none of the injuries are life-threatening.
"One of the worst is one of our drivers who's going in for his third operation today on his stomach - damage was caused from the steering wheel," he told BBC Radio Wales.
He added other passengers received broken bones and bruises.
"It's been a nasty experience for all," said Mr Edwards, who confirmed the stationary bus was hit from behind by a postal delivery lorry.
"I'm quite convinced that the coach they were travelling on was one of our new Mercedes Turismo coaches we bought this year and if it was anything less than that, we would have been dealing with a catastrophe - I'm pretty certain there would have been fatalities."
Denise Wilkie, from Caerphilly, whose brother Philip Bullock was one of the coach's drivers, said he had to be cut free from the wreckage and is due to have a skin graft to treat a cut on his leg.
Police said 20 ambulances and three helicopters were used to ferry the injured to hospital.
According to Lucerne Police and Mr Edwards, the incident took place while the coach was at construction works on the A2 motorway at Eich.
Police said four lorries in total were involved in the incident, two from Switzerland, one from Poland and one from Slovakia.
Investigations are ongoing.


One of Japan's best-known manga artists, Jiro Taniguchi, has died aged 69, his publisher has announced.

Mr Taniguchi, who was known for his elegant line drawings and intricately-constructed landscapes, died on Saturday.
His art earned him an international following and some of his work was made into a television series.
His death was announced by Casterman, his publisher in France, where his work was particularly popular.
"Casterman must sadly announce the death of Jiro Taniguchi on 11 February," the company said on its website, expressing "deep condolences" to his family.
Mr Taniguchi was widely praised for the gentle manner in which he approached subjects that were often unique for Japan's manga consumers.
His works such as The Walking Man, The Summit of the Gods and The Magic Mountain, stood apart in a genre sometimes seen as rooted in extreme violence and pornography.
In The Walking Man, the protagonist of the story simply wanders around fascinated with aspects of everyday life.
Mr Taniguchi was "extraordinarily kind and gentle," Casterman said in a statement.
"The humanism that imbued all his work is familiar to his readers, but the man himself was much less well-known, naturally reserved in character and more inclined to let his work speak on his behalf," the publisher added.
In an interview with the AFP news agency in 2012, Mr Taniguchi explained why his art was painstakingly hand-drawn.
"I do not use a computer because I do not know how, I don't have that skill," he said.
He was also surprised at his popularity in the West.
"I don't know why I am also known outside Japan. Perhaps it is because my work is similar to Western comics, which I've followed for 30 years and they have influenced my subconscious," he said.
Mr Taniguchi's detailed landscapes filled with cartoon characters drew comparisons in the West with European comic heroes such as Tintin.
Born in 1947 in the city of Tottori, Mr Taniguchi had his first cartoon published in 1970. Many years later his graphic art took off in France and in 2015 his work was featured at the annual Angouleme international comics festival.


Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has welcomed the prime minister's election announcement, calling it a "chance to vote for a government that will put the interests of the majority first".

Mr Corbyn said the Tories had "failed to rebuild the economy" and that he would be campaigning on housing, education and the NHS.
Theresa May says she wants a general election to take place on 8 June.
MPs will vote on Wednesday to approve her plan.
Explaining her decision to hold the vote, Theresa May said Britain needed certainty, stability and strong leadership following the EU referendum.
Asked whether he was the next prime minister, Mr Corbyn added: "If we win the election, yes - and I want to lead a government that will transform this country, give real hope to everybody, and above all bring about a principle of justice for everybody and economic opportunities for everybody."
The Labour leader, who was elected to replace Ed Miliband after Labour lost the 2015 election, said this time the party would be challenging the "economic narrative" that requires "huge cuts" to pay for the banking crisis.
Mr Corbyn also said Labour had been setting out policies offering a "clear and credible choice for the country", adding: "We look forward to showing how Labour will stand up for the people of Britain."
Labour's shadow cabinet met in the aftermath of Mrs May's announcement.
Former home secretary Alan Johnson said he would not be seeking re-election in the Hull West and Hessle seat he has represented since 1997.
And Tom Blenkinsop, who has been MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland since 2010, said he would not be standing for re-election, citing "irreconcilable differences" with the party's leadership.


Nick Evans kicked 22 points on his final appearance at The Stoop to boost Harlequins' top-six hopes with victory over Premiership leaders Wasps.

On his Stoop swansong, Evans kicked six penalties and converted tries from Tim Visser and Joe Marchant.
Wasps led at half-time through Dan Robson's try but could only muster a Jimmy Gopperth penalty in the second half.
They lost a game they had led at the break for the first time this season.
Defeat left Wasps waiting to secure a home semi-final, and their final game is at home to champions Saracens.
Harlequins travel to Northampton in the final round in a potential shootout for the last automatic place in next season's European Champions Cup.
That they have the opportunity is largely thanks to Evans, who is retiring at the end of the season, and who ran the game superbly and kicked eight of nine attempts from the tee.
His first penalty put the home side ahead but Wasps scored the game's first try as fly-half Gopperth claimed a high ball on his 10-yard line and raced clear before releasing Robson to score.
It helped Wasps lead 10-6 at half-time, but Harlequins quickly resumed control through Evans' boot.
The decisive moment saw Kurtley Beale attempt an interception on halfway, but the pass evaded him and Chris Robshaw galloped forward to send Visser in down the left wing.
Harlequins' second try came in the closing stages as Marchant capped an excellent night by racing under the posts after Dave Ward had created space.
Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston:
"Nick is a legend at Harlequins. For me there are very few of those, but he's one of them. It was nice to see the reception he got from the fans. Knowing him, you'd have a bet on him performing like that in his last game here.
"But we've got to back that up next weekend and that's the big thing. We're trying to qualify for the Champions Cup and that will come down to next Saturday.
"We haven't qualified for the competition for three years so if we did it would be brilliant and we will give everything to achieve that."
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young:
"We didn't get enough possession or territory to cause them problems. Our kicking game was poor and we never built any pressure.
"It wasn't a great performance from us, but give Quins some credit. It was chaos at the tackle area and that wasn't refereed, but that's not why we lost.
"We'll dust ourselves off because there's no point beating ourselves up. We were second best and we know we have to work hard for Saracens."
Harlequins: Brown; Yarde, Marchant, Roberts, Visser; Evans, Care (capt); Marler, Buchanan, Sinckler, Matthews, Horwill, Robshaw, Wallace, Luamanu.
Replacements: Gray, Lambert, Collier, Merrick, Ward, Dickson, Swiel, Alofa.
Wasps: Le Roux; Wade, Daly, Beale, Bassett; Gopperth, Robson; Mullan, Taylor, Swainston, Launchbury (capt), Myall, Haskell, Young, Thompson.
Replacements: Cruse, McIntyre, Cooper-Woolley, Rowlands, Hughes, Simpson, Cipriani, Leiua.

Britain's three-time Olympian Fran Halsall, who won more than 30 medals at world, European and Commonwealth level, has announced her retirement after a 10-year international career.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The sprint freestyle specialist made her Olympic debut at Beijing 2008 and narrowly missed out on medals at both London 2012 and Rio 2016.
She finished just 0.02 seconds off the podium in the 50m freestyle in Rio.
"Stepping away from the pool is quite a scary decision," said Halsall, 26.
Halsall won three gold and seven silver medals at the Commonwealth Games, having made her international debut at Melbourne in 2006.
She was part of the gold medal-winning 4x100m medley relay team at the 2015 World Championships, and also won gold in the 50m backstroke at the 2016 European Aquatics Championships.
Halsall's retirement statement in full:
Announcing my retirement from swimming is a weird concept to me as I've never seen it as a career or a job. Just as a hobby that I've loved doing and happened to be OK at.
However I've done it for over a decade and there are so many people who have committed time, money, wisdom and knowledge into my journey that I will forever be thankful for. Stepping away from the pool is quite a scary decision for someone who's whole adult life to date has revolved around swim, weights, diet, peeing in a pot whilst someone watched, outdoor swim camps (yey) and lots of napping.
I am very much looking forward to the next chapter of my life and the normality of eating and drinking what I want, the only time someone watches me pee is when I leave the door open by accident and the dog comes in, and experiencing the mythical bank holidays. I will miss my daily naps and choosing to do sets of backstroke while training outdoors just to get an even tan. It's time to close this chapter of my life and move on to the next.
Swimming has taught me so much and given me opportunities that no other career could. So for me this is just a thank you note to everyone who has supported me for being part of a fantastic set of memories.


A breast cancer patient at Barts was wrongly told by the hospital her ovaries needed to be removed, a report has found.

Seventeen of the 160 investigations in the report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman were in Greater London.
The cases also included a man who had a tube put in incorrectly and later died.
Barts Health NHS Trust had not responded to comment when the story was published.
After treatment for breast cancer, the woman, referred to as Ms J, was told it was necessary to remove her ovaries because of a non-malignant mass.
She sought a second opinion which concluded their removal was not necessary.
The ombudsman said: "There was no clinical need for Ms J's ovaries to be removed."
It said the trust had agreed to put the doctors responsible through further training and had paid the woman Â£250. The report said the hospital also lost her records.
In another case, involving North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, in north London, during winter 2011 a man referred to as Mr E was "incorrectly discharged" from hospital, after suffering pain in his knee, said the ombudsman.
He returned the next day to A&E where staff put a tube into his groin, it said.
Health workers did not realise for several hours they had put the tube in incorrectly and when they took it out, he suffered complications, according to the report. His condition deteriorated and he died in early 2012.
Mr E's daughter complained to the hospital. The ombudsman said it handled her complaint "poorly".
A spokesman for North Middlesex University Hospital said: "Since the ombudsman's report last year, we have written to the family apologising.
"We have also followed all of the ombudsman's recommendations on how to improve our complaints handling."


The Aberdeen crematorium at the centre of the baby ashes scandal will not be included in this year's Open Doors Day event, the city council has confirmed.

Hazlehead crematorium was removed from the list of council properties being opened to the public after complaints from families affected by the scandal.
The council was heavily criticised in a report by Dame Elish Angiolini for cremating babies with unrelated adults.
The former lord advocate described the routine practice as "abhorrent".
A council spokesman confirmed Hazlehead would not be part of the annual Open Doors Day event on 10 September.
He said: "Due to the timing of the event, and as a mark of respect to families affected by historical practices at Hazlehead Crematorium, we have taken the decision to remove the crematorium from this year's Doors Open Day schedule."
BBC Scotland revealed in 2013 that no ashes had been offered to the families of infants cremated in Aberdeen over a five-year period.
Baby and adult ashes were mixed together and given back to relatives of the adult, while the parents of infants were told there were no ashes.
The Aberdeen crematorium was among those investigated after it emerged staff at the Mortonhall crematorium in Edinburgh had been burying baby ashes in secret for decades.


The murder of 16-year-old Christina Edkins, stabbed while on her way to school in the West Midlands, shocked her friends and acquaintances.

Christina was attacked on a bus on Birmingham's Hagley Road as she travelled to Leasowes High School in Halesowen in March.
Pupils at the schools she had attended found different ways of dealing with their grief, including fundraising and tributes on social media.
Pupils at two Catholic primary schools, one of which Christina attended, were encouraged to produce a magazine celebrating "youth and children's young experiences".
Lorraine Sergeant, the mentor at St Patrick's Catholic Primary School in Ladywood, said this helped the children "channel their memories [of Christina] in a positive way".
"Even though this was a very sad event, this was a way to show the children that it was not wrong to talk about someone who's gone," she added.
St Edmund's Catholic Primary School, which Christina attended, is a sister school to St Patrick's, with shared staff and activities.
Ms Sergeant said as there were so many children who had been upset by Christina's murder, producing the magazine was the best way to deal with the children's feelings.
"It has helped them come to terms with it - during any counselling with any children who have suffered a bereavement we encourage them to think about the cycle of life."
She said that parents were still able to refer their child for extra sessions of counselling if they felt it would help.
The magazine the pupils produced was sold, raising Â£95.
At the request of Christina's family the money will be used for a trophy to be given each year to a child who has made an outstanding achievement in sport.
A trophy will be presented each July for 16 years - the number of years that Christina lived.


Formal Brexit negotiations will begin on Monday, the UK and EU say.

The announcement by Brexit Secretary David Davis and EU negotiator Michel Barnier follows preliminary talks in Brussels between officials.
The formal negotiations were already due to start on Monday but doubt was cast by the general election result and ongoing talks between the Conservatives and the Democratic Unionists.
The Queen's Speech was delayed and will now take place on Wednesday.
The UK is due to leave the EU by the end of March 2019.
Prime Minister Theresa May invoked Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which started the clock on Brexit, in March.
Mrs May had hoped the general election would increase her Commons majority before the start of talks - but it created a hung Parliament, and she is seeking the DUP's backing to win key votes.
Key subjects to be negotiated include the status of EU nationals and Britons living elsewhere in the EU, the size of any "divorce" bill and how the UK will trade with the EU once it leaves.
Since last week's general election, there have been calls for a new cross-party approach to talks, but Downing Street has said its strategy will not change.
EU leaders have been calling for talks to begin - on Tuesday Mr Barnier said: "I can't negotiate with myself."


Wilfried Bony says he will be totally focused on Swansea City's next two games despite his imminent departure on international duty.

Swansea's top scorer will aim to add to his eight Premier League goals this season in Monday's trip to Liverpool, and then away to QPR on New Year's Day.
The striker, 26, will then spend at least three weeks with Ivory Coast on African Cup of Nations duty.
"The most important thing is the games I have here," Bony said.
"If I don't play well then they will not call me for the national team.
"I have two more games [for Swansea], so I'm just thinking about that and let's see how it will be later.
"It will be a difficult game, Liverpool are still Liverpool. We will go there not to lose and we will see what result we can bring home."
Swansea head to Anfield on the back of two wins over the festive period, following up a 1-0 win at Hull City with victory by the same score at home to Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
The two clean sheets were helped by the goalkeeping of Lukasz Fabianski, with the Poland international producing a spectacular one-handed save to prevent Christian Benteke grabbing an equaliser for Villa.
"It's obviously very pleasing for the manager that's for sure, because we work so hard on the defensive part of our game," said the Swansea stopper.
"And it's really pleasing as well for our defensive unit... the way we've been playing so far in that department over the season so far."
Liverpool have stuttered this season and are three points behind Swansea, who are eighth in the Premier League table.
But the Reds came from behind to grab a draw against Arsenal and then got back to winning ways with victory at Burnley.
Fabianski admits the sale of Luis Suarez and the long-term injury to fellow striker Daniel Sturridge have affected Liverpool, but warns that they are still not to be taken lightly.
"They have plenty of players that can step up. They have a big squad, they made loads of signings," Fabianski added.
"Their season so far hasn't been the way they want it but they have very good players... still a strong squad, still a strong team, great players and we have to respect that."


Didier Drogba is to remain with Major League Soccer club Montreal Impact, ending speculation the striker could return to former club Chelsea.

Montreal announced that Drogba would join their pre-season training camp.
And the 37-year-old tweeted: "On way to Qatar to do some preparation work for pre-season."
Drogba held talks with Chelsea in December amid rumours he could join the club's coaching staff.
At the time, Montreal admitted that Drogba had expressed a "desire to help" Chelsea and that the situation was "out of our control".
But Drogba subsequently denied reports that he was ready to end his playing career, tweeting: "I have not yet announced my retirement."
And it now appears the Ivorian will see out his contract with Montreal, which runs to the end of this year.
Last season Drogba was top-scorer for Montreal with 11 goals as they reached the MLS Eastern Conference semi-finals.


Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis beat British pair Ken Skupski and Jocelyn Rae to reach the Wimbledon mixed doubles semi-finals.

Britain's Murray and Switzerland's Hingis won 6-4 6-4 in one hour four minutes on Centre Court.
Both Murray and Hingis are bidding for their second Wimbledon mixed doubles titles.
Britain's Heather Watson and Finland's Henri Kontinen, who won the title last year, are also into the last four.
They progressed via a 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 7-5 win over India's Rohan Bopanna and Canada's Gabriela Dabrowski and will play the second-seeded pair, Brazilian Bruno Soares and Russian Elena Vesnina, in the semi-finals.
Kontinen is hoping to pick up his third Grand Slam title after winning the Australian Open doubles in January alongside John Peers.
Murray, who lifted the SW19 mixed doubles title in 2007 alongside Serbia's Jelena Jankovic, and Hingis, who won it in 2015 with Indian Leander Paes, will play the Spanish-Brazilian combination of Maria Martinez Sanchez and Marcelo Demoliner.
The pair only announced their partnership last week and again looked comfortable as a partnership on the court.
Hingis has won five mixed doubles titles at Grand Slams as well as 12 women's doubles and five singles competitions - including Wimbledon in 1997.
Murray won men's doubles titles at the Australian Open and US Open last year with Brazil's Bruno Soares.

A casual observer (or frustrated European citizen) might be forgiven for thinking that EU policy on the migrant crisis boils down to: close your eyes, cross your fingers and hold your breath until winter sets in.

That is until huge waves and stormy winds force the number of boats packed with refugees and other migrants arriving in Greece to dwindle into non-existence.
Officially, of course, this is not at all the case.
Just today in Brussels, two weary looking European Commission spokespeople solemnly informed journalists:
"We are convinced, more than everâ€¦ that we need a comprehensive European solution... that can show that Europe can respond as a union to all this. Our proposals are on the table. We are very happyâ€¦ Substantial progress has been achieved."
Really?
Of course there is a lot of theoretical progress.
EU leaders have agreed - at various summits - to crack down on people smugglers and to speed up the expulsion of failed asylum seekers.
They have vowed to improve relations with Turkey and to help end the war in Syria to try to stop refugees coming over in the first place.
Looks good on paper.
But on the ground, in the meanwhile, the situation looks suspiciously as though it's spiralling out of control.
An average of 5,000 asylum seekers are still arriving in Greece on people smugglers' boats every day, the International Organization for Migration says.
Most want to head to northern Europe to claim asylum. Once the migrants and refugees have their Greek documents, they are free to get on the ferry to the mainland.
This, together with Angela Merkel's unofficial suspension of the Dublin regulation - the EU's asylum policy which states new arrivals must claim asylum in the first EU country they arrive in - means people can continue their journey north, unhindered.
Once out of Greece, refugees and other migrants have been following a route via Hungary to reach northern Europe.
Hungary warned it would shut the door if the EU couldn't agree on how to better patrol its external borders (i.e. the shores of Greece).
The EU again failed to do so at a summit of its leaders last week, so, true to his word, the Hungarian prime minister ordered his borders closed as a thoroughfare for migrants.
The European Commission's response?
It is writing a letter to Hungary to ask the authorities to better explain the situation.
Meanwhile back in the real world, there is a bottleneck of refugees and other migrants trying to travel north through Croatia and Slovenia - which is now limiting the daily number it will allow through.
Amnesty International on Monday accused Croatia, Slovenia and other countries along the route of "washing their hands of any responsibility towards refugees and asylum seekers while the systems in place to offer them protection are ineffective".
It is not alone in pointing out that:
"European leaders have known full well for months that a situation like this could arise, but have still failed to prevent it by putting in place available support mechanisms."
And all the while, more and more refugees and asylum seekers are arriving in Austria, Germany and Sweden - whose anti-immigrant movements have been boosted by the pure chaos of it all.
Germany predicts it might receive more than one million asylum seekers this year and it is certainly struggling.
Local media are full of reports of rape and violence amongst the migrants; many of them stuffed into overcrowded centres, where children and women are housed alongside men.
Austria is dealing with three times more asylum claims this year than in 2014. I asked an official from the Austrian interior ministry today whether they felt abandoned by the EU. He responded dutifully that Austria still asks - and hopes - for a "European solution".
When pressed he admitted that this kind of solution is nowhere in sight.
For the governments struggling to process and care for thousands of asylum seekers, while juggling the fears and expectations of their populations, it's going to be a long winter.
The rest of the EU leaders should be warned: it's very rare that problems disappear just because you shut your eyes.
Spring, and the new boat season will be here before you know it.


Campaigners have criticised plans to demolish a New Forest landmark visited by top Victorian society figures to build homes for elderly people.

The Lyndhurst Park Hotel, once linked to smuggling, was visited by Treasure Island author Robert Louis Stevenson.
Developer PegasusLife wants to replace it with 74 pensioner flats.
Opponents insist the unlisted building is historically significant and an influx of elderly residents would put pressure on services in the village.
The plans to be considered by the National Park Authority (NPA) are open for consultation until early January.
Originally named, Glasshayes House, the mansion house on the edge of Lyndhurst was built in the early 19th Century as a private home for railway entrepreneur Charles Castleman.
Along with Louis Stevenson, its notable historical guests included Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle.
It later became the Grand Hotel, and then the Lyndhurst Park Hotel.
PegasusLife plans to replace it with 74 "age restricted ... high quality assisted living" apartments for which it said there was "a very high need" for, along with 12 holiday lets.
Its proposal document states the hotel has "many deficiencies" and "few historic features of particular architectural or historic merit" following development in the 1960s and 70s.
Caroline Wilkins of the Friends of Glasshayes House campaign said it was the "wrong type of development" and the building should be restored.
"It's wrong on many, many levels - it's not needed or wanted. It is easy to take history and heritage for granted - it's up to us to preserve it.
"Any development has to be suitable for young families - finding affordable housing anywhere in the New Forest is very difficult."
She also said the intention to build up to the perimeter of the site would create a "tunnel" effect for air pollution on the high street.
The development is due to be discussed by the NPA on 10 March.


Not getting a good enough apology when things go wrong is the most common complaint escalated by NHS patients in England, figures show.

It was the reason behind 34% of cases investigated by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman in 2014-15.
Errors in diagnosing conditions, poor treatment and a lack of communication were also among the top reasons acute hospital trusts were referred.
The organisation upheld 726 complaints out of the 1,652 it investigated.
The PHSO is the final port of call for patients in England who are unhappy with a hospital's original handling of their complaint.
The ombudsman has itself been criticised in recent years for not doing its job well enough by investigating too few cases and dragging its heels over decisions.
Its latest report shows it has investigated more complaints than last year - 1,652 in 2014-15, compared with 852 in 2013-14.
The investigations resulted in 36% of cases about the NHS being upheld, alongside 44% about acute hospital trusts.
Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman Julie Mellor said: "We know that there are many factors that influence the number of complaints hospitals receive, such as organisational size, demographics and whether they actively encourage feedback from patients.
"I strongly believe that NHS leaders should welcome feedback from patients and recognise the opportunities that good complaint handling offers to improve the services they provide.
"We are publishing this data to help hospital trusts identify problems and take action to ensure trust in the healthcare system remains high."


South Africa Test batsman Dean Elgar fell two runs short of a Championship century for Surrey on an even first day against Gloucestershire at The Oval.

Elgar made 98 before he was caught by Michael Klinger off the bowling of spinner Jack Taylor (2-68).
Surrey had been reduced to 43-2, but Elgar's third-wicket stand of 131 with Zafar Ansari (64) forged a recovery.
However, the late wickets of Elgar and Jason Roy gave Gloucestershire a boost as the hosts reached 279-5 at stumps.
Surrey opener Rory Burns, who returned to the side following the eye injury he sustained in a collision with team-mate Moises Henriques earlier this month, could only make 21 before he edged Liam Norwell behind.
While Gloucestershire's bowling unit claimed just five wickets in 97 overs, Surrey's relatively slow scoring rate, summed up by Ansari's 210-ball knock, meant they did not get away from the visitors.
Gloucestershire's cause was not helped by a hand injury to James Fuller, who required stitches after hitting a pitch cover and only bowled nine overs in total.
Elgar, whose innings contained 10 fours and two sixes, looked certain to reach his 24th first-class hundred but was out attempting a slog sweep which looped to Klinger at backward point.
The wicket of the dangerous Roy, who was bowled by Norwell for 14 soon afterwards, ensured day two will begin in the balance with Ben Foakes unbeaten on 57.
Surrey batsman Dean Elgar told BBC London 94.9:
"Stroke making was quite tough, even with the seamers the ball just seems to sit in the wicket.
"It's just one of those nitty-gritty kind of batting surfaces where you've got to have good game plans, knuckle down and get the job done.
"Batting once is very important. If we can get anywhere close to 400 and try and bowl them out twice, it's pretty much the game plan.
"The wicket will start turning more and bring our slow bowlers into play."
Gloucestershire coach Richard Dawson:
"Obviously losing James Fuller made it a tough job but I thought the way the lads stuck to it was brilliant.
"It was an outstanding effort, especially coming off the back of last night's Twenty20 and not having too much kip."


A new cross-party group that will campaign for the UK to leave the European Union has been launched.

Grassroots Out is supported by UKIP leader Nigel Farage, Labour MP Kate Hoey and Conservative ex-minister Liam Fox, among other politicians.
At the launch in Northamptonshire Mr Farage said they were not against Europe but against the political union.
The Vote Leave and Leave.EU campaigns are already competing to become the official "out" voice in the referendum.
The prime minister, who wants the UK to stay within a "reformed" EU, is pushing to renegotiate Britain's terms of membership ahead of an in/out referendum by the end of 2017.
If agreement with other EU leaders is reached next month, a vote could potentially be held as early as June.
Of those aiming to become the referendum's official "out" voice, the group that comes out on top will enjoy significant advantages.
These include higher spending limits, campaign broadcasts, free mail shots and public funding of up to Â£600,000.
Two thousand people attended the Grassroots Out launch in Kettering.
Former defence secretary Mr Fox, whose membership of the group was unveiled at the event, said: "If you cannot make your own laws or control your own borders you are not an independent sovereign nation."
He added: "It is time to look forwards and outwards... It is time to take control of our own destiny."
Last week saw the launch of Conservatives for Reform in Europe, a new pro-European Conservative campaign group led by former minister Nick Herbert, which will argue the case for the UK to stay in the EU under renegotiated terms.
PM David Cameron has said ministers will be free to campaign on either side ahead of the referendum, but he has also warned that they must treat each other with "appropriate respect and courtesy".
Ms Hoey said she hoped the Labour shadow cabinet would also be free to choose and that she hoped some of "top leadership" of the party would also vote to leave Europe.
The UK is to have a referendum by the end of 2017 on whether to remain a member of the European Union or to leave. The vote is being preceded by a process of negotiations in which the Conservative government wants to secure a new deal for the UK including:


The European Space Agency (ESA) says its comet lander, Philae, has woken up and contacted Earth.

Philae, the first spacecraft to land on a comet, was dropped on to the surface of Comet 67P by its mothership, Rosetta, last November.
It worked for 60 hours before its solar-powered battery ran flat.
The comet has moved nearer to the sun since and Philae has enough power to work again, says the BBC's science correspondent Jonathan Amos.
The Philae craft made three short contacts of about 10 seconds each at roughly 9.30pm on Sunday.

A man's body has been found in woodland in Kent.

A cordon has been set up around the area in Maidstone and up to a dozen police vehicles have been at the scene.
Kent Police said the discovery was made at Cave Hill in Tovil at about 07:15 BST and inquiries were under way. A spokesman said it was being treated as suspicious.
Officers said the man, believed to be in his 20s, was found in Crisbrook Meadow, near a mill pond.
A police spokesman said the cause of death was currently unexplained and was being investigated.
Conservation volunteers were supposed to pick up litter in the area but were turned away.
Bryn Cornwell, chairman of the Valley Conservation Society, said police had told the group the area was being treated as a crime scene.
Kent Police has appealed to anyone who saw anything between Saturday and Sunday to contact them.

A "kind, loving, and funny" 12-year-old boy was found dead after being bullied at school, an inquest heard.

Matthew Wooby, from Trimley St Martin, was discovered in February by his parents with a ligature round his neck.
His father David Wooby told the inquest he believed his son had been in a "spiral" of depression and had purposely taken his own life.
But assistant coroner Nigel Parsley described it as a "truly tragic" case and recorded a verdict of misadventure.
He said he was unable to record a verdict of suicide as it was not clear Matthew, who was mildly autistic, knew he could die as a result of his actions.
Matthew's school, Felixstowe Academy, said there was one reported incident of bullying which was "dealt with swiftly" in line with its policies.
The inquest heard Matthew's parents had left him with babysitters on the night of 12 February, who had looked after him many times before.
They watched a film and he went to bed, asking if he was all right after they heard him shuffling around upstairs.
But next morning when his mother went to wake him, he was found unresponsive and was taken to hospital.
A week earlier, Matthew had watched a film that featured a scene with a child who had been saved after attempting to hang himself, the hearing was told.
Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, and a post-mortem test revealed the cause of death was recorded as suspension by ligature.
Mr Parsley said Matthew came from a "loving, close" family and attended Felixstowe Academy where there had been "bullying issues".
He said he was aware Matthew had been bullied at school but he was also aware that he may have reacted to the film he saw.
Mr Wooby told the hearing: "It's my personal conclusion that he was so unhappy because he was being bullied...and he went into a spiral of depression which I didn't notice at the time.
"And I think he took his own life on purpose because he was so depressed."
A statement from Matthew's parents, issued after the inquest, said: "We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our kind, loving, funny, beautiful and amazing son Matthew.
"We hope that by raising awareness of bullying that no other family will have to suffer what we have to cope with every day."
Felixstowe Academy's principal, Anthony Williams, said Matthew was a "lovely student" whose "sudden death was an unforeseen loss to the school community".
He said he had been in contact with the family and commended them for their remarkable courage and dignity.


It has been contentious and controversial, but part of the mayor's flagship east-west cycle superhighway is nearing completion.
These photos give you an impression of what some streets in London will look like when they have been converted to protect cyclists.
Of course, not everyone will like road space being given over to cyclists. Many drivers fear the works and the scheme will create congestion for vehicles.
The Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) still has a judicial review pending on this scheme; I'm told the chances of that succeeding are very slim.
Cyclists will love this space and a cycle lane running straight up to Parliament will invigorate cycling campaigners who'll say "if it can be done here, it can be done anywhere".
The full scheme along Embankment is not yet complete but is due to open in summer 2016.


A doctor from east London has been charged with 118 sexual offences, the Met Police has said.

Manish Shah, of Brunel Close, Romford, is accused of 65 counts of assault by penetration and 52 counts of sexual assault.
The 47-year-old has also been charged with sexual assault on a child aged under 13 years.
Dr Shah has been released on bail and is due to appear before magistrates in Barkingside on 31 August.
A dedicated phone number for anyone who has concerns or questions has been set up by the NHS - 0800 011 4253.


Donegal athlete Mark English has missed out on a place in the 800m semi-finals at the World Championships in London.

The 24-year-old was fifth on Saturday with a time of 1:48.01 in a heat won by Nijel Amos of Botswana.
Only the top three went through automatically and English's time was not good enough for one of the fastest loser places.
His Ireland team-mate Brian Gregan did qualify for the semi-finals of the 400m as he secured third place in his heat.
Dubliner Gregan, 27, had a time of 45.37 seconds, just 0.11 outside the personal best of 45.26 he set at the Morton Games in Santry on 12 July.
"It played out as exactly as I wanted," said Gregan.
"I was ranked sixth going in on personal bests, and finished third so there is not much more you can ask than that.
"I did my own thing and it paid dividends."


Rome's embattled Mayor, Ignazio Marino, has resigned following a scandal over his credit card expenses.

Mr Marino has denied allegations he paid personal restaurant bills using official funds.
He offered to pay back â‚¬20,000 ($22,500) early on Thursday but later said he would stand down, when his Democratic Party withdrew its support.
Mr Marino was already under pressure over the dilapidated state of Italy's capital.
The mayor faced calls to resign last year for a series of unpaid parking tickets, and saw his popularity slump after a corruption scandal implicated several politicians, including his predecessor.
Mr Marino, who took office in 2013, was also criticised for not stopping an alleged mafia boss being given a glitzy funeral in the city.
He said his resignation should not be taken as an admission of guilt, but said "political conditions" had made it impossible to continue.


A charity believes it is running the only dedicated "retirement home" for Old Age Pussycats (OAPs).

Lincolnshire Trust For Cats has almost 80 cats living out the end of their nine lives, with luxuries including heated beds, sofas and an open fire.
Some of the cats live there because their owners have died, while other owners have moved abroad.
Finding new homes for elderly cats like these is more difficult because people prefer to adopt young cats.
Older cats can also be more expensive to look after, due to veterinary bills, so many are put down when their owners die.
Trust founder Jain Hills believes the home is unique.
"I know of some charities that have a few elderly cats, but they are not doing it on the scale we are," she said.
"For cats to come to us people have either got to make a provision in their will, or people come to look round.
"I don't think anywhere else does it because people come all the way from London with the cats to come here."
The home is set in seven acres of land on the outskirts of the village of Osgodby.
"There's three sitting rooms and they are connected by enclosed outdoor areas," said Ms Hills.
"It's all south-facing which means the cats have a lot of sunbathing options."
The trust cares for about 400 cats in total, as it also has a rescue facility for abandoned cats in need of new owners.
Rather than being a crazy cat lady, Ms Hills says she is "a bit of a dog person".
"I've got five dogs at home," she said.
"When you work with 400 cats all day you need to go home to a dog.
"I couldn't run a dog charity but I can run a cat charity because I can stand back from it. I don't get emotionally involved."


Slovenia recorded a deserved win over their more illustrious visitors to set up Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against group leaders England.

The group's fourth seeds had the better of the game throughout and saw their pressure pay off when Rok Kronaveter came off the bench to score.
The result moves them on to four points, level with Scotland and two points behind Gareth Southgate's side.
Slovakia, seeded second, have no points from their opening two games.
Their meeting with Scotland in Trnava on Tuesday is one they cannot afford to lose, with the Scots also needing to make up for dropped points at home to Lithuania, as both countries cling on to hopes of a play-off place.
Having missed out on Euro 2016 after finishing third in England's qualifying group and losing a play-off to Ukraine, Srecko Katanec's side came into this match on the back of a 2-2 draw in Lithuania.
That could yet be a precious point as they proved that, at home, they will be stiff opposition.
In a match of few clear-cut opportunities, Roman Bezjak had a first-half shot pushed onto the bar brilliantly by Kozacik.
But as a goal-less draw looked the likeliest outcome, Josip Ilicic found Kronaveter with a precise pass and the player who plies his trade in Ljubljana with Olimpija guided the ball past the keeper.
After the agony of losing an injury-time goal in the first match to England, the Euro 2016 finalists rarely looked like troubling Jan Oblak in the Slovenian goal.
Only once was the Atletico Madrid keeper called into action, saving a Robert Mak effort with his legs.
Playmaker Marek Hamsik was subdued, marshalled well by Rene Krhin, and failed to influence the game.
Scotland must ensure the same happens on Tuesday, with both teams knowing the loser can forget Russia 2018.

Islamic State militants are "moving in migrant flows, hiding in plain sight", the UK's defence staff chief has said.

Sir Stuart Peach said he was "worried" about the global reach of IS militants who destroy their identity documents to travel illegally into other countries.
This should lead the UK to think about how it "manages identity", Sir Stuart said.
He said he was concerned about the use of the internet and social media by the group, "popping up all over the world".
It comes as British military personnel arrive in the Middle Eat to train "moderate" Syrian opposition forces as they attempt to open up a second front around so-called Islamic State's stronghold Raqqa.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the forces will be trained in infantry, medical and explosive hazard awareness skills.
At a London summit with defence ministers from the coalition of countries fighting IS in Iraq and Syria, Sir Michael will reveal that he has agreed to "surge" the number of data recovery experts to exploit material obtained as IS forces are defeated or flee from Mosul in Iraq.
In a lecture to the Royal United Services Institute, Sir Stuart said: "I worry about the global reach of Daesh as an idea - copycat, using the internet - more than the internet - using social media, popping up all over the world.
"The Chinese state has accepted they have a problem.
"This is not now a localised phenomenon, it is now a wider phenomenon.
"And of course we face, as my friend Andrew Parker has said, the director general of MI5, a potential network of combat-experienced terrorists.
"On the other hand they are losing territory rapidly, foreign fighters are being killed and displaced.
"But they are moving in migrant flows, hiding in plain sight.
"One of the obvious deductions, and I think it does bear more scrutiny from the younger and the analytical community, is how we manage identity in a world where people are deliberately trying to destroy their identity documents and/or they move in migrant flows."
Earlier this month, the head of MI6, Alex Younger, said the scale of the terrorism threat to the UK is "unprecedented".


Steam - the popular PC video gaming platform - is adding the ability to stream gameplay so that others can watch online.

The move presents a challenge to Twitch, which is built around a similar service, and was acquired by Amazon for $970m (Â£618m) in September.
Steam has more than 100 million active accounts, nearly double the 60 million visitors a month claimed by Twitch.
But one expert suggested Twitch was still likely to dominate the sector.
Steam is software provided by the US company Valve that allows people to buy, support development of, play and discuss titles created by thousands of video game publishers.
It has emerged as the most popular way to buy Windows PC games. It also offers Mac and Linux-based software.
Steam's new facility can be accessed three different ways:
Anyone playing a game via Valve's software can opt to let their progress be watched by others, and they are offered various privacy options that allow them to control who can activate a stream.
Broadcasters can provide voice-over commentary and text chat, but cannot appear in a superimposed webcam feed window as is common on Twitch, although they can show other computer desktop activity when not in-game.
Other restrictions include the fact that broadcasts cannot be saved to be watched back later, and that players have no obvious way to make money from their streams - two activities Twitch allows. However, Steam benefits from the fact that it does not require visitors to watch adverts before game streams begin.
"Valve has listened to what its customers have been asking for and has offered live broadcasting in its own way, which basically provides it with free marketing for the games sold on its platform," said Lewis Ward, a video games analyst from the IDC consultancy.
"Getting into the streams is very easy, and it seems it's done enough on the security side so if you don't want certain people to view your activity or are a parent who has concerns about your kids, there are ways to block it.
"So, it's done the core of what Twitch does but still lacks some aspects that make Twitch distinctive. And while I think it's a very interesting first step, I don't think it matches where Twitch is today."
The two companies are not alone in efforts to make gaming a spectator sport.
Google's YouTube is another major force, allowing players to stream and watch live gameplay as well as pre-recorded clips.
Hitbox.tv, Ustream and the in-development GamingLive.tv provide other alternatives.
But Mr Ward suggested that Steam Broadcasting should be able to co-exist alongside the dominant player.
"Twitch is platform-agnostic - it's kind of like Switzerland - and that neutrality means it can partner with lots of different companies," he said.
"It can focus on mobile and consoles as well as PCs - Twitch and Steam started allowing account linking over a year ago - so, I think it can take a broader view of gaming broadcast capabilities, which is where the market is going.
"And so long as Valve stays focused only on broadcasts of games played on its platform, then that's going to limit the potential growth of the new service."


An 11-year-old boy's decade long wait for a kidney has ended with a match found on Facebook.

Matthew Pietrzyk has been on the donor waiting list since he was a baby having been born with a rare condition.
The kidney came from Edward Batch who heard about the Leicestershire youngster's plight following a social media campaign.
Mother Nicola said she thought he was the first UK child to have a kidney transplant arranged on social media.
Matthew, who named his new organ Eddie Junior, was diagnosed with congenital nephrotic syndrome at five weeks old.
A year later, the kidney donated by his mother had to be removed because of complications but finally, after 10 years of searching and a social media campaign, a match was found.
"We feel like we need to keep pinching ourselves," his mother said.
"The odds [of finding a match] initially were three in 10,000 and then went to 650,000 to one. Only 1% of the population had a chance of being a match. So we are just in shock. We still can't quite believe it and Matthew is just so happy."
As the odds of finding a match for Matthew grew longer the Glenfield family launched a social media campaign.
Although admitting the global campaign was unlikely to be successful, they were approached by Mr Batch - who coincidentally lived a few miles from the Pietrzyks.
After tests it was confirmed he was a match and, in July, the pair underwent surgery.
Mr Batch said: "I've got three children, if my children were ill I'd want someone to step up and help me so why wouldn't I step up and help somebody else?"
Mrs Pietrzyk said she believed her son could be the first child in the UK to receive a kidney found through social media.
"It's been a rocky couple of weeks and we've been told to expect a rocky six months. Transplant is the best possible thing for anybody waiting for a kidney. However it's not 'there you go, you're fixed, goodbye'. "It doesn't quite work that way but he's doing really well."
"He's named his kidney Eddie Junior and he wants two birthdays a year - he's completely milking it."


Differences of opinion between senior Labour figures over Brexit have been defended by a Welsh Government minister.

Mark Drakeford said there were varying views within Labour because "the water is genuinely muddy" on the UK's future relationship with the EU.
The party's shadow trade secretary Barry Gardiner has said staying in the customs union would be "a disaster".
But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is not ruling out continued membership of it.
In the customs union, countries agree to apply the same tariffs to goods from outside the union.
Once goods have cleared customs in one country, they can be shipped to others in the union without further tariffs being imposed.
But staying in the customs union would mean the UK could not negotiate free trade deals with other countries.
In a Commons vote in June, 50 Labour MPs backed continued membership of both the customs union and single market.
Mr Corbyn has said the UK must leave the single market as it is "inextricably linked" to EU membership.
Labour's general election manifesto called for the benefits of the single market and customs union to be retained after Brexit.
Mr Drakeford said the Welsh Government supported staying in the customs union as a "transition measure", although he could see it had "downsides as well as upsides".
"I think a number of the views expressed are a reflection of the genuine complexity of the argument," he said.
"Some of the muddying of the water is really a reflection of the fact that the water is genuinely muddy on some of those things.
"Complexity is real and exploring it is not an unhelpful thing to do."
Conservative MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, Chris Davies, said Labour was making "almost hourly shifts in position on Brexit policy".
He added: "Labour should get in a room and try to devise a clear policy or two - they won't, because they can't agree on Brexit and are too busy wandering off in different directions."
On Wednesday, Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell insisted the Labour leadership at a UK level was on the "same page" as Welsh Labour, with tariff-free access to the single market the objective.


Technology giants Apple, Microsoft and Adobe have been called by the Australian parliament to appear before a committee looking at pricing levels.

The House of Representatives launched a probe in July last year to see if some goods were more expensive in Australia than in other parts of the world.
Consumer bodies have often complained that Australians are overcharged.
The firms have previously made written submissions to the committee but have so far declined to appear in person.
They are now scheduled to appear before the committee on 22 March.
The Australian newspaper quoted Ed Husic, a member of parliament, as saying that according to some estimates the price of some of goods in Australia were as much as 60% higher than in the US.
"Given the widespread use of IT across businesses and the community, the prices paid for hardware and software can have a major commercial and economic impact," the politician was quoted as saying.
"Getting downward movement on IT prices and easing the bite of price discrimination should be an important micro-economic priority - so I'm looking forward to hearing from these firms about their pricing approaches," he added.


The former ship-based pirate station, Radio Caroline, has been handed its first full-time AM broadcast licence.

It allows the service, which is currently an internet and digital station, to broadcast on medium wave to Suffolk and parts of north Essex.
Manager, Peter Moore, wants to broadcast from its ship MV Ross Revenge on the River Blackwater in Essex.
It comes 50 years after the 1967 Marine Broadcasting Offences Act that was intended to stop pirate broadcasters.
Mr Moore said: "It's our intention to broadcast to the same people we used to when we had the ships off the Essex coast.
"It will be the same sort of service they would have heard in the past delivered in the same way and presented in many cases by the same people as before.
"It's like a living time capsule."
The station was founded in 1964 to play pop music all day in a time where broadcasting was dominated by the BBC and pop was played for an hour a week.
After the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act was passed in 1967, Radio Caroline continued to broadcast until the Ross Revenge was shipwrecked off the Kent coast in 1991.
The vessel has since been repaired.
This is one of five new medium wave community licences to be announced by regulator, Ofcom.
An Ofcom spokesman said: "Community radio services are provided on a not-for-profit basis and focus on delivering specific social benefits to a particular local area or community of interest."
A launch date for the new service is not yet known.
The Radio Caroline website said many details about the licence were still to be decided and preparations "may take some time".


All-rounder Moeen Ali has been added to the England squad for the final two Tests in the West Indies.

The 27-year-old left-handed batsman and off-spinner was not included in the original 16-man party because of a side strain suffered during the World Cup.
However, he made 62 and four on his comeback in Worcestershire's season-opening County Championship defeat by Yorkshire this week.
The first Test, currently under way in Antigua, is set to finish on Friday.

The England and Wales Cricket Board said Moeen will join up with the squad in Grenada on Saturday, before the second Test begins on 21 April.
The last match of the series in Barbados starts on 1 May.
Moeen averages 31.77 with the bat and 28.09 with the ball in the seven Tests he has played since making his debut in 2014.
Off-spinner James Tredwell, playing his second Test in Antigua five years after his debut, took 4-47 in the first innings.
Yorkshire leg-spinning all-rounder Adil Rashid is the other slow-bowling option in the England touring party.


Three Scottish colleges have been warned about financial weaknesses by the Auditor General for Scotland.

Annual audits from 2015/16 showed Moray College UHI in Elgin having "weak financial planning and management".
A declining performance against student activity targets was identified at Lews Castle College UHI in Stornoway, Lewis.
Edinburgh College has improved its performance, but the report said it needed to review its curriculum and save money through redundancies.
Moray College UHI and Lews Castle College UHI are part of the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) network of colleges and research centres.
The financial sustainability of the three colleges has been set out in a report from the Auditor General to the Scottish Parliament.
Highlighted in the report were:
According to the report, Moray College UHI received 72% of its 2015/16 income from SFC.
Lews Castle College UHI receives 66% of its income from the SFC, which also provides 75% of Edinburgh College's annual income.
Ms Gardner said: "These colleges play an important role in their communities, delivering education for thousands of students every year and providing hundreds of jobs.
"They are also heavily reliant on public funding which can have major implications for how they manage their finances.
"Each college faces different issues but all need to take steps now to get on a firmer financial footing and strengthen their governance arrangements."
UHI said it will work with Moray College and SFC to address the issues raised and implement "robust solutions".
Lews Castle College is not in immediate financial difficulty, but UHI said it hoped to agree a revised activity target with the college proportional to its operating costs.
Edinburgh College Principal Annette Bruton said the colleg has a plan to help it resolve its issues and welcomed the report's recognition of its "significant progress".
She said: "This report is clear that the changes we've made, including to governance, monitoring and management structure, have led to major improvements.
"Improving recruitment and retention means we're on schedule to achieve our credits target for 2016/17, which is the most important factor in our success and financial stability.
"We do still have financial challenges but our Transformation Plan didn't set out to solve these overnight.
"By continuing to hit our credits target, redeveloping our curriculum and making savings, we're very positive about our plan to achieve sustainability over the next few years."


Notts County have sacked boss John Sheridan after a run of nine successive defeats left them one point above the League Two relegation zone.

Sheridan was appointed Magpies boss in the summer but won just six of his 24 league games.
The former Oldham and Chesterfield boss was given a five-match touchline ban in December after being sent to the stand during their defeat by Wycombe.
Sheridan's final match in charge was the 4-0 defeat at Cambridge on Monday.
The Magpies, who are in danger of dropping into non-league football for the first time in their history, are now looking for their 11th full-time manager since Steve Cotterill left after leading them them to the League Two title in May 2010.
They are set to be taken over by businessman Alan Hardy after current owner Ray Trew agreed to sell the club in December.
Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Sheridan, 52, had admitted his job was at risk because of his side's poor form.
After the defeat by Colchester United on 17 December he said: "I am on the worst run I have ever had as a football manager and expect us to do a lot better.
"I have had a decent career as a manager and am gutted the way things are at the moment.
"If you are not winning games there will be a problem somewhere. I have to respect that because of the run we are on there is a question mark over me, but I believe in myself and will try to work my socks off and turn it around."
The Magpies face Morecambe at the Globe Arena on Saturday.


A non-league football club has criticised the ambulance service after an injured player waited for three hours for help to arrive.

Newmarket Town Striker Matt Hayden was in "agony" after a suspected leg break.
The FA Cup qualifier at Halstead in Essex on Saturday was in aid of two Newmarket players, one of whom had both legs amputated after a crash.
The East of England Ambulance Service said it had an "extremely high level of life-threatening calls".
An ambulance was called at 14:30 BST but did not arrive until just after 17:30.
A spokesman for the ambulance service apologised and said a clinician called during the delay to ensure the player's condition had not worsened.
The service received more than 3,200 calls in total, with 1,000 in Essex alone, he added. The average daily call demand is about 2,600.
Club chairman John Olive, who praised the ambulance crew, said: "Three hours for the lad laying on the ground was an awful long time, he was in a lot of pain.
"The medical advice we had was not to move him.
"We rang several time to try and find out what was happening but could not find what the ETA was."
Both Newmarket and Halstead Town took to Twitter to criticise the delay, with Newmarket calling it "an absolute joke of a service".
On 1 August, an under-18 Newmarket player with a broken ankle waited one hour and 20 minutes for an ambulance, Mr Olive said.
Hayden was treated at Colchester Hospital for severe ligament damage and said on Twitter on Sunday night that he was "lucky".
The game was called off and has been rescheduled for Tuesday.
Sunday's gate receipts, totalling more than Â£900, were donated to an appeal for Shaun Whiter, who had to have his legs amputated and Joey Abbs, who sustained a serious leg injury, when they were hit by a car while changing a tyre on 1 July.
On Monday, Jan Adamec, 40, of Haverhill, admitted two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in a hearing at Cambridge Crown Court.
He will be sentenced in September.


Greg Eden kept up his phenomenal scoring record for Super League leaders Castleford with a fourth hat-trick in a row to help beat Leigh.

Two Jesse Sene-Lefao tries got the Tigers on the way after Leigh had one of three scores ruled out by the video referee, before Eden cut loose.
All four of his tries were created by the potent left-side combination of Luke Gale and Michael Shenton.
Jake Webster added a seventh Tigers try, their 101st league score of 2017.
Since these two teams met on the opening weekend of the season, Daryl Powell's Castleford have proved to be the stand-out team in the division, and showed hallmarks of that quality to dispatch the Centurions - who have struggled since a bright start.
Leigh were not disgraced by their performance and had plenty of ball but defence has been a major improvement for the Tigers, who have the best record in the division.
Discipline did not help them, as Cas loanee Ben Crooks went to the sin-bin for a dangerous tackle call and the Tigers scored in his absence.
However, it is Castleford's attacking menace which has caught the eye most and they were at their best, through the influential England half-back Gale in particular.
Sene-Lefao took his personal tally to six for the season but Eden is now just 14 tries behind last season's Super League record-breaking winger Denny Solomona with 14 games of the season left to play.
Castleford coach Daryl Powell: "I thought we were superb in the second 20 minutes of the first half. We defended well all the way through but made too many errors when we got in attacking positions early on.
"To nil a team is very difficult to do and we showed some last-ditch stuff there which shows the character in the team. We have done that twice now this season and they are big results for us.
"I thought our attitude was outstanding, given we've just had the second ridiculous short turnaround this season. It's crazy how that has been put together.
"The boys have put a lot of emphasis on defence this year and they were delighted to keep a clean sheet."
Leigh: McNally; Dawson, Crooks, Fleming, Brown; Reynolds, Drinkwater; Acton, Hood, Burr, Paterson, Vea, Stewart.
Replacements: Pelissier, Tickle, Maria, Hopkins.
Castleford: Hardaker; Minikin, Webster, Shenton, Eden; Roberts, Gale,; Millington, McShane, Massey, Sene-Lefao, McMeeken, Milner.
Replacements: Moors, Cook, T Holmes, Larroyer.
Referee: Chris Kendall (RFL).


A charity has called for women in Northern Ireland to tackle obesity to reduce the risk of developing cancer.

Figures from Cancer Research UK found obese women in the UK have 40% greater risk of being diagnosed with a weight-related cancer.
The charity has said more than a fifth of women are obese in Northern Ireland,
Cancer Research UK said obesity increases a woman's risk of at least seven types of cancer, including bowel and post-menopausal breast.
Dr Julie Sharp, head of health information at Cancer Research UK, said helping people understand how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer "remains crucial in tackling the disease".
"Lifestyle changes like not smoking, keeping a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet and cutting back on alcohol are the big opportunities for us all to personally reduce our cancer risk," she said.
"Making these changes is not a guarantee against cancer, but it stacks the odds in our favour."


Silk Road 2.0 and 400 other sites believed to be selling illegal items including drugs and weapons have been shut down.

The sites operated on the Tor network - a system that gives access to otherwise hard-to-reach parts of the net.
The joint operation between 16 European countries and the US saw 17 arrests, including Blake Benthall who is said to be behind Silk Road 2.0.
Experts believe the shutdown represents a breakthrough for fighting cybercrime.
Six Britons were also arrested, including a 20-year-old man from Liverpool, a 19-year-old man from New Waltham, a 30 year-old-man from Cleethorpes and a man and woman, both aged 58, from Aberdovey, Wales.
All were interviewed and bailed according to the National Crime Agency.
As well as providing anonymous access to legitimate sites, Tor also lets people hide their visits to thousands of illegal marketplaces, trading in drugs, child abuse images as well as sites for extremist groups.
It was the operation last year to take down the drugs marketplace Silk Road which was the first major success in the battle against criminal use of the dark net.
Now this much bigger operation involving global cooperation amongst law enforcement agencies sees that battle taken to a new level, with Silk Road 2.0 amongst 400 sites closed.
It's important to remember that the dark net isn't all about illegal activity. Indeed its best known tool the anonymising browser Tor was created by a US intelligence agency to help its operations and to assist people living under repressive regimes.
Last year, many predicted that shutting one online drugs bazaar - and arresting its alleged owner Ross William Ulbricht - would not make a lot of difference, with plenty more rushing to fill the gap.
Now this much bigger operation may signal that the authorities have developed new techniques to track down the origins of these networks and those behind them.
Still, the number of arrests may be telling - 400 sites closed, but just 17 arrests. That would suggest there is a lot of work still to be done.
Silk Road 2.0 - which launched in October last year - is one of the most notorious and deals in the buying and selling of illegal drugs.
It was resurrected after the original Silk Road site was shut down and its alleged owner arrested.
The operation also saw the seizure of Bitcoins worth approximately $1m (Â£632,000).
"Today we have demonstrated that, together, we are able to efficiently remove vital criminal infrastructures that are supporting serious organised crime," said Troels Oerting, head of Europol's European cybercrime centre.
"And we are not 'just' removing these services from the open internet; this time we have also hit services on the dark net using Tor where, for a long time, criminals have considered themselves beyond reach," he added.
The BBC understands that the raid represented both a technological breakthrough - with police using new techniques to track down the physical location of dark net servers - as well as seeing an unprecedented level of international co-operation among law enforcement agencies.
The so-called deep web - the anonymous part of the internet - is estimated to be anything up to 500 times the size of the surface web.
Within that experts refer to the dark net - the part of the network which Tor operates on. There are approximately three million Tor users but the number of sites may be smaller.
Prof Alan Woodward a security consultant from the University of Surrey who also advises Europol, said that the shutdown represents a new era in the fight against cybercrime.
"Tor has long been considered beyond the reach of law enforcement. This action proves that it is neither invisible nor untouchable," he said.
But, he added, it did not mean copycat sites would not spring up, or that the police had thrown light on the dark net.
Tor is a special way to access the internet that requires software, known as the Tor Browser bundle, to use it.
The name is an acronym for The Onion Router - just as there are many layers to the vegetable, there are many layers of encryption on the network.
It was originally designed by the US Naval Research Laboratory, and continues to receive funding from the US State Department.
It attempts to hide a person's location and identity by sending data across the internet via a very circuitous route involving several "nodes" - which, in this context, means using volunteers' PCs and computer servers as connection points.
Encryption applied at each hop along this route makes it very hard to connect a person to any particular activity.
To the website that ultimately receives the request, it appears as if the data traffic comes from the last computer in the chain - known as an "exit relay" - rather than the person responsible.
As well as allowing users to visit normal websites anonymously, it can also be used to as part of a process to host hidden sites, which use the .onion suffix.
Tor's users include the military, law enforcement officers and journalists - who use it as a way of communicating with whistle-blowers - as well as members of the public who wish to keep their browser activity secret.
But it has also been associated with illegal activity, allowing people to visit sites offering illegal drugs for sale and access to child abuse images, which do not show up in normal search engine results and would not be available to those who did not know where to look.

After fleeing Syria, he said he spent three weeks camped in Calais finally getting onto a train, after 15 attempts, at the end of July.
The 23-year-old, now in Birmingham, is seeking asylum in the UK.
He said he has come to England for peace and freedom, not for financial reward.
He is receiving help from charity St Chad's Sanctuary which provides food and clothing for asylum seekers.


Great Britain's Mo Farah says he is a "clean athlete" after a leaked report suggested his American coach may have broken anti-doping rules to boost the performance of some of his athletes.

The leaked US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) report, dated March 2016, was obtained by the Sunday Times.
"If Usada or any other anti-doping body has evidence of wrongdoing they should publish it and take action rather than allow the media to be judge and jury," said Farah, who has won 5,000m and 10,000m gold at the past two Olympics.
The coach in question, Alberto Salazar, has been under investigation since a BBC Panorama programme made allegations about drugs use at his US training base.
According to the Sunday Times, the leaked report also alleges Salazar, head coach of the world famous endurance Nike Oregon Project (NOP), routinely gave Farah and other athletes legal prescription drugs with potentially harmful side-effects without a justifiable medical reason.
The investigation into Salazar, who is also a consultant to UK Athletics (UKA), has been under way since at least June 2015.
Salazar and Farah deny they have ever broken anti-doping rules.
"It's deeply frustrating that I'm having to make an announcement on this subject," said 33-year-old Farah in a statement.
"I am a clean athlete who has never broken the rules in regards to substances, methods or dosages and it is upsetting that some parts of the media, despite the clear facts, continue to try to associate me with allegations of drug misuse.
"I'm unclear as to the Sunday Times's motivations towards me but I do understand that using my name and profile makes the story more interesting but it's entirely unfair to make assertions when it is clear from their own statements that I have done nothing wrong.
"As I've said many times before we all should do everything we can to have a clean sport and it is entirely right that anyone who breaks the rules should be punished."
The Usada interim report was passed to the Sunday Times by the suspected Russian hacking group Fancy Bears.
The BBC has so far been unable to verify its authenticity with Usada, or establish whether any of its reported conclusions are out of date.
In a statement, Usada said it could "confirm that it has prepared a report in response to a subpoena from a state medical licensing body regarding care given by a physician to athletes associated with the Nike Oregon Project".
It said: "We understand that the licensing body is still deciding its case and as we continue to investigate whether anti-doping rules were broken, no further comment will be made at this time.
"Importantly, all athletes, coaches and others under the jurisdiction of the World Anti-Doping Code are innocent and presumed to have complied with the rules unless and until the established anti-doping process declares otherwise. It is unfair and reckless to state, infer or imply differently."
Contents of the report
According to the Sunday Times, the leaked report claims that Salazar:
Salazar maintains that drug use has always fully complied with the Wada code and that athletes were administered with L-carnitine in "exactly the way Usada directed".
The Sunday Times claims the Usada report also reveals:
The report, apparently written in March 2016, allegedly states: "Usada continues to investigate circumstances related to L-carnitine use" by Farah.
Farah told the Sunday Times two years ago that he had "tried a legal energy drink" containing L-carnitine but "saw no benefit" and did not continue with it.
The newspaper also claims the report says Dr John Rogers, a medic for the British athletics team, told Usada in an interview that conversations he had with Salazar at a training camp in the French Pyrenees before the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, gave him such "concern" that he wrote an email at the time to his medical colleagues at UK Athletics.
It also says Rogers told Usada that Salazar had told him about "off-label and unconventional" uses of the prescription medications calcitonin and thyroxine (hormones) and high doses of vitamin D and ferrous sulphate.
The revelations will pile more pressure on Britain's greatest ever endurance runner, who has steadfastly refused to end his association with Salazar.
It raises questions too for UKA, which gave the Briton the all-clear to continue working with Salazar after an inquiry was launched following the BBC Panorama programme.
Background
In June 2015, in conjunction with the US website ProPublica, the BBC's Panorama programme Catch Me If You Can made a series of allegations about the methods at NOP, and included testimony from a number of former athletes and coaches, including Kara Goucher and Steve Magness.
The film alleged Salazar had a fixation on the testosterone levels of his athletes, and may have doped American Olympic medallist Galen Rupp with the banned steroid version when he was 16. The programme also alleged Salazar had conducted testosterone experiments on his sons to see how much of the drug he could apply to them before it triggered positive tests.
The film also alleged Salazar used thyroid medicine inappropriately with his athletes, and encouraged the use of prescription medication when there was no justifiable need.
Salazar denied the wrongdoing alleged in the programme, and issued a 30,000-word rebuttal.
Usada took the unusual step of confirming it had launched an investigation into NOP following the BBC and ProPublica's revelations in 2015. Earlier stories by the New York Times and the Sunday Times had also raised concerns about some of Salazar's methods.
It is not clear why the Usada report remains unpublished.
The BBC has sought comment from Alberto Salazar and UK Athletics.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan
Nine months ago, amid rumours Usada had dropped an investigation into his coach, Sir Mo Farah said he felt vindicated after standing by Alberto Salazar, the man who has helped him achieve so much success. This will raise more questions over that association.
Last year Farah distanced himself from another controversial coach - Somalian Jama Aden. And he could now face renewed pressure to do something similar with a man who we now know Usada is still looking into.
This could also be awkward for Salazar's employers Nike - and for UK Athletics; not least how they came to clear Salazar in 2015 - even though it now seems one of their senior medics - Dr John Rogers - says he had raised concerns to them over the coach's methods.
