Ugandan troops will start leaving South Sudan by the end of this week, according to the head of the Ugandan force in the country.

This was a key rebel demand during drawn-out talks which led to a peace deal in August. All foreign forces were meant to have left by 10 October.
Meanwhile, a rebel leader has told the BBC the deal is unlikely to work and said he may take up arms again.
Tens of thousands of people have died since the civil war began in 2013.
Uganda's defence chief Gen Katumba Wamala told the press that all soldiers should be out by 1 November.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Henry Okello Oryem added in a statement that Uganda's intervention "helped to stop what was likely to be the worst genocide in the region".
Uganda has not revealed how many troops it has in South Sudan, where they are supporting the government.
But they are stationed in three bases: The international airport in Juba; in Nesitu just south of the capital and at their biggest base in the town of Bor, which is hosting some 3,500 soldiers.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in Uganda says that a neutral regional force is meant to step in once Uganda withdraws but it is not clear when that will happen.
Senior rebel leader Gen Johnson Oloni said he might resume fighting because of President Salva Kiir's recent decree creating 18 new states.
He called the plan a "naked power-grab", the BBC's Tim Franks reports from South Sudan.
He also said the government was undermining the deal with attacks on civilians.
The rebel leader said land appropriations had pushed his ethnic group to use force in the past and they could do so again.
Gen Johnson is head of the Shilluk militia, which has been accused by the UN children's agency Unicef of abducting hundreds of boys and forcing them to become child soldiers.
The US had proposed that he should be subject to a travel ban and assets freeze, along with an army chief, but this was blocked by Russia and Angola at the UN Security Council.
South Sudan's elusive peace:
Five obstacles to peace in South Sudan
Men of dishonour
South Sudan gained independence from neighbouring Sudan four years ago making it the world's youngest country.
Two years later, in December 2013, a conflict erupted after President Salva Kiir accused Riek Machar, his sacked deputy, of plotting a coup.
Mr Machar denied the allegation, but then formed a rebel army.
Much of the fighting has been carried out along ethnic lines, between Mr Machar's Nuer group and Mr Kiir's Dinka, the two dominant ethnic groups in South Sudan.


BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.

His opponent for the weekend's Premier League fixtures is Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil.
Neil told BBC Sport: "I liked to think I was quite a good footballer with a cultured left foot when I was younger but, when I started playing with some properly talented kids, I realised I wasn't as close to Diego Maradona as I had thought.
"My one party trick is that I can do keepy-uppies and sing and play any song on a guitar at the same time."

A lifelong Rangers fan, Neil paired the Glasgow club with city rivals Celtic when he and bandmate James Johnstone made the draw for the Scottish Cup fifth round in the 2010-11 season.
"The first game I went to see was Rangers v Motherwell when I was five," he added. "I remember it vividly because I wrote a big story about it at school. My dad took me to games until I was about 15 so Rangers were a big part of my childhood.
"I am still into football as much now, but the last couple of years as a Rangers fan have not been quite so enjoyable, that's for sure!"
Biffy Clyro will headline this summer's T In The Park and Isle of Wight Festivals, and have a new album out later this year.
A correct result (ie picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth ONE point. A correct score earns THREE points.
Last weekend, Lawro got seven correct results from 10 Premier League games, with no perfect scores. His tally of seven points saw him beaten by 'Bad Neighbours' actor Zac Efron, who got five correct results, including three perfect scores, for a total of 11 points.

The number of workers in the UK from eight eastern European Union countries increased following the referendum, official estimates suggest.

Those from the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia  and Slovenia numbered 1,053,000 in July to September - up 46,000 on the previous quarter.
But the Office for National Statistics found a reduction in workers from other EU countries during the same period.
The Brexit vote was on 23 June.
The ONS's labour market data suggests 1,053,000 people from the group of eight states that joined the EU in 2004 - known as the A8 - were employed in the UK in July to September.
But the number of employees from 14 other EU member states - Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden - showed a quarterly fall for the first time in two years, down from 944,000 to 937,000.
The number of Romanian and Bulgarian workers also dipped, from 266,000 in the previous three months to 258,000. Restrictions on people from the two countries working in the UK were lifted in January 2014.
Overall, the number of non-UK nationals from the EU, also including Cyprus, Malta and Croatia, working in the UK was 2.26 million  in July to September.
This was up 221,000 compared with the equivalent period last year.
The Office for National Statistics said evidence suggested the referendum outcome had had little impact so far on the number of EU workers in the UK labour force.
Authoritative data on the flow of foreign workers would not be available until migration figures were published in February, the ONS added.


Two cousins who set off on a 1,100-mile (1,770km) trek in honour of their late grandfather who fled Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia have reached Croatia.

Sam and Chris Ogrizovic's grandfather Nicola escaped Brlog when he was 14 years old.
He was kept prisoner in Italy for five years and later moved to Ravenshead, Nottinghamshire, for mining work.
Now his grandsons have hitchhiked the journey in reverse in five days without consulting a map or spending money.
The pair set off on on 1 May. Along the way they spent a night at a service station in the Austrian Alps and hitchhiked to Zagreb with a lorry driver who spoke no English.
As they walked through rural Croatia they met a couple who took them in for the night.
"We explained our story and they took us to their home in Ogulin and we started on the raki [alcoholic drink]," the pair wrote on their Facebook page.
"The hospitality shown has gone beyond kindness.
"Sounds gushy, but a truly life changing night!"
The couple, Toni and Goga, drove the cousins to Brlog and acted as translators as they discovered relatives they had not previously known about.
"We went to the cemetery and found the graves of my Papa's father, mother and sister, then we got taken to someone that knew my Papa and as we were sat talking through the translator they mentioned we were sat in his old house!" they said.
"After that we were told we had family in the village who had been trying to contact us but failed.
"So emotional.....celebrating with family we never knew we had and Papa has returned home!"
Nicola Ogrizovic, known as Nick, died from Alzheimer's disease last year, aged 86.
Sam, 30, from Nottinghamshire and cousin Chris, 31, son of former Coventry City goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic, decided to take on the challenge at their grandfather's funeral.
The pair have so far raised more than Â£5,300 for the Alzheimer's Society.


A woman has told a court she thought she was going to be raped in publicist Max Clifford's car.

The woman, who cannot be named, was 14 in 1966 when she said he offered her a lift home, drove to an alleyway and "lunged" at her.
Mr Clifford, from Hersham, Surrey, faces 11 counts of indecent assault relating to seven alleged victims, aged from 14 to 19, between 1966 and 1984.
He denies all the charges against him.
Jurors at Southwark Crown Court were told the pair met at a Wimpy bar in south-west London.
The woman said Mr Clifford offered her a lift home, and then drove to an alleyway near a sports field, saying he had something to show her.
When he produced a book of photographs showing him with celebrities including The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, she said she would like to meet the Walker Brothers, jurors heard.
The woman told the court: "He said 'I can arrange that, but this is what you've got to do', and he put my seat right back and then he tried to force himself upon me, basically."
"My seat, I think it went almost horizontal, that's the way it seemed, he then sort of lunged at me and put his body on me.
"He was touching me all over."
The woman said she managed to open the car door, wriggle free and run home.
She said she did not confide in her parents because they were strict and she feared they would have banned her from going out.
She went on: "I was just so happy to be in one piece. I didn't know at the time if I was going to get raped or murdered."
The woman said she told friends over the years about meeting Mr Clifford but did not go to the police until recently.
"As he became more of a household name and people would mention him or he was on the television, I'd say I had a really bad experience with him before he was really famous.
"People always said to me why didn't you go to the police?... Because he was so powerful and he virtually controls the media, what chance would I stand?
"If I were to hear it from other people then I would definitely do my bit and tell them what happened, because it was only fair. But I wouldn't have done it on my own because I wouldn't stand a chance."
Cross-examining her, Richard Horwell QC suggested the incident had never happened, and that in 1966 Mr Clifford did not have a car.
She replied: "It did happen, I can't give you the exact date that it happened but it did happen."
The woman said she was not sure of the time of year that the alleged assault occurred, and that it could have been in 1967.
She denied she was "jumping on a bandwagon", saying she had been telling people about the incident for 35 years.
The trial was adjourned until Tuesday.


A string of alleged murders of elderly nursing home residents has left a Canadian town in southwestern Ontario struggling with old wounds.

On Tuesday, former nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer was charged with eight counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of eight patients under her care.
Police alleged that seven of the deceased were given a fatal dose of a drug. They offered no motive for the killings.
They say Ms Wettlaufer's victims were between the ages 75 and 96 and were killed between 2007 and 2014.
Samuel Lamb, 89, who was friends with one of the alleged victims, is still processing the news.
"I can't understand myself how it's coming out now, after nine years," Mr Lamb told the BBC on Wednesday.
"I don't know how they found out about what she did, what they say she did."
His friend, Maurice "Moe" Granat, who died in 2007, could have been one of the first alleged victims.
Mr Lamb recalled Granat, a car mechanic by trade, as a "happy-go-lucky" man who loved to roll his own cigarettes, play solitaire, and was always ready to help friends.
The victims, five women and three men, were all residents of either Caressant Care in Woodstock or Meadow Park in London, Ontario.
According to sources who spoke to the CBC and the Globe and Mail, police were tipped off by someone employed at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
Ms Wettlaufer was reportedly seeking treatment at the Toronto rehabilitation centre.
Sean O'Malley, a spokesman for the CAMH, said the facility was governed by confidentiality rules and had no comment.
Ms Wettlaufer's lawyers did not respond to media requests.
Police began their investigation into Ms Wettlaufer on 29 September 2016.
On 30 September she resigned from the College of Nurses of Ontario.
One year earlier, in a Facebook post dated 28 September 2015, Ms Wettlaufer spoke about her difficulties with alcoholism.
"My own voice called to me in the darkness. Others hands lifted me when I chose the light. One year ago today I woke up not dead. 365 days clean and sober," she wrote.
Police have identified the victims as:
The news that one of their own may have been involved in murder brought back painful memories for some in the town of Woodstock, which has a population of under 40,000 and serves as a regional hub for the surrounding Oxford County.
In 2009, eight-year-old Woodstock resident Tori Stafford was abducted, raped and murdered by two other members of the town.
From the time she went missing through the ensuring murder trial, the community was gripped by a sense of loss, not just for the little girl's life but for the town's own innocence, said former resident Martha Emonts.
"We're no longer exempt from what's going on in the rest of the world," she said.
Tori's killers, Michael Thomas Rafferty and Terri-Lynne McClintic, were convicted in 2012 of first-degree murder.
Just a day before news of Ms Wettlaufer's charges broke, a judge struck down Rafferty's request for appeal.
Now that Ms Wettlaufer has been charged, it is hard not to shake the sense of deja vu, Ms Emonts said.
On television, the news broadcast footage of the Caressant Care facility parking lot.
That same lot appeared on surveillance footage played during Rafferty's 2012 trial.
Seeing the parking lot on television again "made the hair on my arms stand up", Ms Emonts said.
The nursing home is a prominent employer in the town, she says, and nearly everyone knows someone who has worked there or had a family member who has stayed there.
The case has raised questions about oversight in the province's nursing homes.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said on Wednesday she was open to an independent review of long-term care facilities in the province.
Cheryl Mahyr, a spokeswoman with Ontario's Office of the Chief Coroner, said all deaths in long-term care homes are reported to the coroner's office but are only investigated under certain circumstances.
Those include "deaths that are sudden, unexpected and due to unnatural causes. Those are typically deaths that would be investigated by a coroner," Ms Mahyr said.
A review committee also looks annually at deaths in the province's nursing homes that have raised concerns.
Jane Meadus, a lawyer with the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly, said it is too soon to say whether more oversight could have prevented the deaths related to Ms Wettlaufer's case.
But she said her organisation would like to see more post-mortem examinations performed on patients who die in the province's long-term care homes or, at a minimum, that there be a more thorough review of the deaths.
"You can't just assume what's in a (medical) chart is faultless," she said.
The Caressant Care home in Woodstock and Meadow Park home in London both say they are co-operating fully with the police investigation.
Ms Wettlaufer is back in court on 2 November.


Oscar-winning actors Eddie Redmayne and Julianne Moore will launch their effort to become double Oscar winners at this year's Toronto Film Festival.

The pair, who collected Academy Awards in February, each have films screening at the festival which is seen as the launch pad for awards season.
Redmayne appears as a transgender pioneer in The Danish Girl, while Moore stars in gay rights drama Freeheld.
Jake Gyllenhaal drama Demolition will open the festival on 10 September.
Directed by Canadian Jean-Marc Vallee - who previously directed Dallas Buyers Club and Wild - Gyllenhaal stars as an investment banker whose life unravels after his wife dies in a car crash.
Oscar buzz for both Redmayne and Moore began last year after their films The Theory of Everything and Still Alice premiered at Toronto.
Redmayne went on to collect the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of physicist Stephen Hawking, while Moore won best actress for her role as a college professor with Alzheimer's.
This year, the actress stars in the real life story of New Jersey police detective Laurel Hester, who after being diagnosed with cancer fights to leave her pension to her partner, Stacie Andree.
Freeheld also stars Ellen Page and Steve Carell as a gay rights activist.
Moore also has a second film premiering at the festival - Maggie's Plan - a romantic comedy also starring Greta Gerwig and Ethan Hawke.
Redmayne stars in Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper's The Danish Girl, playing another real life character - artist Lili Elbe, one of the first recipients of sex reassignment surgery.
The film is listed as being a North American premiere, which suggests it will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival at the beginning of September.
Other films receiving their world premieres at the festival include Stephen Frears' Lance Armstrong film The Program, Ridley Scott's sci-fi The Martian starring Matt Damon and biopic Trumbo, about US screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (played by Bryan Cranston) who is blacklisted from Hollywood for his political beliefs.
Johnny Depp film Black Mass, Jason Bateman's second directorial effort The Family Fang, western Forsaken - starring Donald and Kiefer Sutherland - and Afghan war film Hyena Road will also premiere.
Among the other British stars who have films screening at the festival who will likely attend include Dame Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, Emma Watson, Idris Elba, Kate Winslet and Jeremy Irvine.
Tom Hardy film Legend, in which he plays the notorious Kray twins, will also receive its international premiere following its UK premiere on 9 September.
A full list of film premieres announced on Thursday is available on the Toronto Film Festival website.


Human traffickers are believed to have set the Ezadeen cargo ship on autopilot before abandoning it to continue at full speed across the Mediterranean with 359 illegal migrants on board.

Experts say it is part of a new tactic that has emerged in recent months, with smugglers using old freighters to transport hundreds of people - mostly Syrian refugees - from Turkey to EU countries.
Just days earlier, the Blue Sky M, carrying 970 people, was found adrift in Greek waters.
Who are the people organising these perilous journeys - and what is being done to stop them?
Officials say the Ezadeen was carrying the Sierra Leone flag, while the Blue Sky M was sailing under a Moldovan flag.
A previous case involved a freighter with the flag of Tonga, says Izabella Cooper, spokesperson for Europe's border control agency, Frontex.
But identifying the smugglers is not that straightforward.
The ships' crews are thought to have come from countries including Russia, Egypt and Syria, according to Ms Cooper.
And they may be linked to criminal gangs operating on an international scale.
"People trafficking is an international crime," says Claude Moraes, MEP and chair of the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee at the European Parliament.
"Part of it is still opportunistic. But as time goes on, it is far more organised and we see it linked to other crimes on the mainland."
'Profitable business'
The one thing investigators are sure of is the motivation for the smugglers - money.
Police in Italy believe traffickers made some $3m (£1.9m; €2.5m) from the Ezadeen, with each traveller paying between $4,000 and $8,000 to board the ship.
"Smuggling people is very profitable business - probably one of the most profitable in the world," says Ms Cooper.
Ms Cooper says it is such a money-maker that criminal gangs do not need to combine it with smuggling other illegal items.
"We don't see the ships carrying drugs or weapons.
"It's a business that is so profitable that it's worth the criminal organisations focusing on that only."
Compared to the risks and cost the migrants themselves take on, the smugglers seem to be able to get hold of the ships quite easily.
David Osler, financial editor of maritime newspaper Lloyd's List, says scrap ships can be bought for around one million dollars (£550,000, 700,000 euros).
"Secondhand ships of the type used in the recent people trafficking cases can easily be purchased for less than the price of an unexceptional London flat," he says.
There are regular auctions when shipping companies go bust, and old vessels are sometimes sold on online auction sites.
The BBC has also seen pages on Facebook offering services for buying and selling scrap cargo ships.
"Mostly the rock-bottom price for a ship is the scrap value, which is paid by tonne of recoverable steel," says Mr Osler.
But he says ships like these may not yield enough steel to make it worthwhile sailing them to India or Bangladesh for breaking.
"It's quite easy to imagine the smuggling gangs picking them up from friends for next to nothing."
So who is helping the people traffickers?
"There is no evidence of any involvement on the part of mainstream shipping companies in any of this," says Mr Osler.
"But as with every industry, there is obviously a small criminal fringe involved in activities such as smuggling contraband, narcotics and arms, and probably people trafficking as well."
'Ruthless travel agency'
Police in Italy say they arrested three people when coastguards managed to board the Blue Sky M.
According to reports in Italian media, one of them was Rani Sarkas, a Syrian migrant who said he had been paid £10,000 by smugglers to take charge of the ship once they had abandoned it.
"Although the Italian and other governments may be often proud of some arrests of 'boat drivers', the illegal migration bosses are still safely based in Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, Syria, Italy," said Andrea Di Nicola, assistant professor in criminology at the University of Trento and co-author of the book Confessions of a People Smuggler.
"They are taking advantage of the weak points of certain laws and of border controls in Europe. Small fish are caught while big fish stay safely behind."
Mr Di Nicola spent more than two years following migrant routes to find out who is running what he calls "the most ruthless travel agency on the planet".
He says using cargo ships is the "perfect way to smuggle asylum seekers since they do not need to be hidden.
"The opposite - they need to be intercepted and rescued."
'Incredibly dangerous'
"The problem is that the smugglers are actually operating relatively freely," says Mr Moraes.
He says EU member states deal with the trafficking situation once it becomes a domestic issue, so when the migrants arrive.
But the problem is that different countries have different criminal codes.
And physically stopping these migrant ships is also very hazardous.
"This is an incredibly dangerous modus operandi that we are seeing," says the Frontex spokesperson, Ms Cooper.
"In latest case, the ship was abandoned and set on autopilot and no one was able to stop it.
"It was only when fuel ran out that rescue crews were able to board it."


Two of the largest investment banks in the City of London have confirmed that some staff will definitely have to move abroad when the UK leaves the EU.

HSBC's chief executive, Stuart Gulliver, told Bloomberg he was preparing to move 1,000 staff from London to Paris.
And Axel Weber, boss of Swiss bank UBS, told the BBC "about 1,000" of its 5,000 London jobs could be hit by Brexit.
The comments underline that many thousands of banking jobs may move.
The statements from the two banks come just a day after UK Prime Minister Theresa May outlined the UK government's Brexit negotiating strategy which would, she said, involve leaving both the European single market and the EU's customs union.
Analysis: Simon Jack, BBC business editor
It seems that HSBC wasn't bluffing. The day after Theresa May confirmed the UK will be leaving the single market, HSBC confirmed plans to move 1,000 bankers to Paris.
We always knew how many but today we learned how much business they would take with them from London. Those bankers generate 20% of HSBC's European banking revenue - a number that HSBC wouldn't split out but is in the billions.
Revenue is not the same as profit but the move will dent government tax receipts, as will the loss of income tax from a thousand highly paid investment bankers.
UBS has also previously threatened to move 1,500 bankers, nearly a third of its workforce, to Europe in the event of Brexit. But today the chairman Axel Weber told the BBC he hoped the final number would be lower.
UBS privately acknowledge that whatever happens a significant number of jobs will leave, most probably to Frankfurt, and that process will start soon after the UK triggers Article 50 - the mechanism to leave the EU.
With Britain's exit from the single market confirmed by the Prime Minister, what were once contingency plans are now becoming reality.
UK citizens voted in a referendum last June that the country should leave the European Union.
Since then, there has been widespread speculation that many financial jobs based in London might migrate to cities in the rest of Europe, such as Dublin, Paris or Frankfurt, so that the banks concerned could continue to offer their services to EU clients.
Mr Gulliver said his bank was in no rush, but added: "Specifically what will happen is those activities covered specifically by European financial regulation will need to move, looking at our own numbers.
"That's about 20% of the revenue," he told Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
But he added: "I don't see the foreign exchange market moving, the investment grade bond market moving, the equity market moving and the high-yield bond market moving."
HSBC has already said that post-Brexit it would keep its global headquarters in London and its UK headquarters in Birmingham.
And Mr Gulliver explained that HSBC was helped by the fact that it already had a bank established within the EU as it had bought Credit Commercial de France in 2002.
But he said the position for other banks was different.
"Some of our other fellow bankers have to make decisions pretty quickly now - given that the UK said it will come out of the single market - about applying for banking licenses in some of the EU countries. We don't have to do that," he said.
Last week, the chairman of HSBC, Douglas Flint, told a committee of MPs that 1,000 jobs at his bank's London offices would move to France once Brexit was triggered, a point his bank first made in the aftermath of the referendum last June.
UBS chief executive Sergio Ermotti told Bloomberg he would have a better idea towards the end of 2017 about how many jobs at his bank will need to move out of London.
But one of his senior executives, Andrea Orcel, also speaking at Davos, said: "With Brexit we will have to [move] and the question is how many.
"That will very much depend on the agreement that the UK will reach with the EU - but we will definitely have to go."
Mr Orcel added that his bank was "anticipating the worst".
He explained that if the UK and the EU did not reach any sort of transition deal about Brexit, then some of his staff in London would have to be moved as soon as the UK government invoked Article 50, the legal procedure to leave the EU.
Meanwhile the Irish airline Ryanair says it may abandon its few routes which are wholly within the UK, once Brexit is achieved.
Its finance director, Neil Sorahan, said it might take this step rather than to comply with new regulations which demand that it obtain a UK air operating certificate.
Domestic UK flights involve only 2% of the company's routes.


More than a hundred climate change protesters have held a "die-in" demonstration at Heathrow Airport against plans for airport expansion.

Campaigners from Reclaim the Power wore masks and carried posters as they lay down at Terminal 2 in west London.
The protest comes as the government is set to decide in the next few weeks whether to expand Heathrow or Gatwick.
Cyclists dressed in red also rode to Harmondsworth Detention Centre as part of the protest to highlight migration.
A "picnic" demonstration was also held at Gatwick airport earlier in the day as part of the series of activities by climate change campaigners.
The events coincide with protests against airport expansion across the world as the International Civil Aviation Organisation hold a conference addressing the impact of aviation.
The activists wanted to highlight how communities were affected by climate change and the link between climate change and migration.
Mary Adams from Reclaim the Power, said: "Expanding airports is completely irresponsible and will bring us out of reach of our own targets to stop climate change.
"Expanding Heathrow is incompatible with creating a fairer and more equal world."
The hour-long demonstration at Heathrow went off peacefully and the airport said there were no disruptions.


Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has apologised to residents of the northern city of Chandigarh for inconvenience caused to them by his visit.

Officials shut down schools and a public crematorium ahead of Mr Modi's visit on Friday to inaugurate a new airport.
Mr Modi tweeted that the inconvenience to residents was "totally avoidable" and said an inquiry would be held.
The measures were heavily criticised on mainstream and social media.
Local media was full of accounts of people whose daily routines had been disrupted by Mr Modi's visit.
The NDTV news channel spoke to a number of bereaved people who had been forced to use another crematorium in the western part of the city, after Chandigarh's main crematorium was converted into a temporary parking space for a public rally addressed by the prime minister.
Many schools and colleges reportedly had to cancel or postpone examinations after state officials announced that all educational institutes in the city would be closed.
Several politicians from the opposition Congress party who had been planning to greet Mr Modi were also pre-emptively detained, causing further outrage.
The Stateman newspaper asked whether the prime minister's visit was "above education, deaths and freedom".
Similar angry reactions were seen across social media. Journalist Rajdeep Sardesai tweeted: "Why are all schools, even crematorium in Chandigarh closed for PM visit to city? All oppn leaders detained/house arrest? Any answers?"
A parody account called India Explained noted that "GOI sternly warns those planning to die in Chandigarh today not to engage in such anti-national activities".

A man has been charged with murder after another man was stabbed in Conwy county.

North Wales Police was called to an address in Bryn Heulog, Old Colwyn, at 20:30 GMT on Thursday and 35-year-old David Kingsbury was found dead nearby.
A 30-year-old faces a murder charge while two other men, aged 30 and 50, have been charged with assisting an offender.
They will all appear before Llandudno Magistrates' Court on Thursday.


A retired judge in Australia has offered to swap places with a refugee and live the rest of his life in one of the country's offshore detention camps.

Jim Macken, who is 88, said he had written to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to offer a "body swap".
"I understand this is an unusual request but I offer it in complete sincerity," Mr Macken wrote.
Australia processes migrants and refugees on the Pacific island of Nauru and on Manus island, Papua New Guinea.
The government has faced heavy criticism over conditions at the detention centres, both of which are run by private companies.
In the letter, seen by Australian media, Mr Macken said: "My reason for making this proposal is simple. I can no longer remain silent as innocent men, women and children are being held in appalling circumstances on Manus Island and Nauru.
"It is even worse that they are being held in these dangerous and inhospitable conditions in order to ensure no other asylum seekers and refugees attempt to come to Australia for protection.
"The Australian government is essentially treating refugees in these camps as human shields and this is utterly immoral. As this is being done in my name I cannot remain silent.
"I offer this proposal as a way forward for at least one refugee. This would allow one person currently held on Manus Island or Nauru the right to be an Australian citizen. I would consider it a privilege to live out my final years in either Nauru or Manus Island in his or her stead."
Mr Macken reportedly offered to relinquish his Australian citizenship if necessary.
A spokeswoman for Mr Dutton said the minister's office was checking to see if it had received the letter, which was sent a month ago, and declined to comment further.
Mr Macken also wrote to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Labor party leader Bill Shorten, urging them to "err on the side of compassion and justice" and end offshore processing.
A spokesman for the prime minister declined to comment.
Speaking to the Guardian, Mr Macken said he had "nothing to lose" by making his offer.
"If it gets just one refugee off one of those islands, and gives them a chance at a life in Australia, I'm prepared to do it," he said.
He said he wasn't seeking publicity and would be happy to undertake the exchange without notifying the public.
Mr Macken was a barrister and union organiser until his retirement in 1989. He was appointed a member of the Order of Australia in 2003.

An investigation has been launched into the police response to a call from a 72-year-old man who was later found dead in a sheltered housing complex.

The man died in Inverness on 27 October this year.
The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc), Kate Frame, has been asked to scrutinise the initial police response to the man's call.
Police Scotland said it was "fully engaging" with the investigation and awaited its findings.
A spokesman for Pirc said: "The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has instructed the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner to undertake an investigation into the initial police response to a call from a 72-year-old man who was later found dead at a sheltered housing complex in Inverness.
"A report on the commissioner's findings will be submitted to the COPFS in due course."


Brazil's President Michel Temer has nominated his justice minister to the Supreme Court as it prepares to rule on one the biggest corruption scandals in the country's history.

The minister, Alexandre de Moraes, is one of Mr Temer's closest allies.
He replaces Judge Teori Zavascki, who died in a plane crash last month.
There have been calls for a less politically sensitive nomination, as many senior politicians are facing charges in the corruption scandal.
Mr Temer said he had chosen Mr Moraes for his "solid academic credentials".
The 49-year-old lawyer is a member of the PSDB party, which is part of Mr Temer's governing coalition.
He joined the cabinet in May, when Mr Temer replaced President Dilma Rousseff, who was facing impeachment proceedings.
Earlier this year,  Mr Moraes had to deal with his most serious crisis since taking office, when more than 100 prisoners were killed by fellow inmates in a series of prison riots.
He announced a plan to set up police intelligence units and increase cooperation with neighbouring countries to reduce the power of the gangs that control most Brazilian prisons.
Mr Moraes's nomination needs to be ratified by the Senate.
He asked for a 30-day leave of absence to prepare for the ratification process.
But analysts say the government does not expect the nomination to be rejected, as it has a broad majority in the Senate.
Later this month the Supreme Court is due to begin ruling on the extensive evidence gathered during an investigation into corruption at the state oil company, Petrobras.
Judge Zavascki had been overseeing the investigation, known as Operation Car Wash.
He had prepared a list with the names of dozens politicians who allegedly took bribes from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht to make sure the company won lucrative contracts with Petrobras.
Odebrecht has admitted paying $1bn (Â£800m) in bribes to obtain contracts in 12 different countries.
Mr Zavascki was a well-respected judge and the Car Wash investigation gained much credibility when he was appointed to oversee it in the Supreme Court, says the BBC's Daniel Gallas.
The plane he was travelling on plunged into the sea in heavy rain near the town of Paraty on 19 January.
The opposition said it suspected foul play and called for a thorough investigation.
Since Judge Zavascki's death, the Supreme Court has been operating with 10 judges.
His role overseeing the corruption probe was allocated last week to Judge Edson Fachin.
He was chosen at random from a shortlist of five Supreme Court judges.


Herschell Gordon Lewis, the horror filmmaker known as the "godfather of gore", has died at the age of 87.

He directed films such as Blood Feast, The Gruesome Twosome and Two Thousand Maniacs.
Gordon Lewis died in his sleep at his home in Pompano Beach, Florida, his spokesman James Saito confirmed.
The director pioneered the horror genre in the 1960s known as the "splatter film," which intentionally focused on gore and gruesomeness.
Blood, violence and nudity usually featured heavily in his films - many of which he financed himself.
Other horror films directed by Gordon Lewis included A Taste of Blood, The Wizard of Gore, Colour Me Blood Red and Just for the Hell of It.
John Waters, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino and James Gunn are among the modern-day filmmakers who were inspired by his work.
Gunn posted his condolences on Twitter, writing: "RIP Herschell Gordon Lewis, the creator of splatter films and the director of Blood Feast & Two Thousand Maniacs. He changed cinema."
Gordon Lewis was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1929.
He went on to study journalism in college and became a professor of English literature at Mississippi State University.
The director briefly worked for a radio station in Oklahoma before joining an advertising agency in Chicago, where he made TV commercials.
Gordon Lewis's first film credit came in 1959 with the release of The Prime Time, which he produced, and two years later, he directed his first movie - Living Venus.
He continued directing films for the next decade but took a break after 1972's The Gore Gore Girls to work in marketing.
He returned to filmmaking in 2002 with Blood Feast 2: All U Can Eat.

A late equaliser from Tom Bolarinwa helped Grimsby maintain their unbeaten start under new boss Marcus Bignot.

The 26-year-old scored at the second attempt as the Mariners drew with Carlisle at Blundell Park.
A costly error from James McKeown gift-wrapped an opener to Charlie Wyke, before Omar Bogle levelled from the penalty spot.
Zak Mills then turned into his own net as Carlisle regained the lead, courtesy of a devilish ball from the right-hand side.
But as has proved to be a trait since the arrival of Bignot - from Solihull Moors - the Mariners never gave up.
And they had Bolarinwa to thank for earning a share of the spoils. He won an initial header, before firing home from close range.
Earlier in the evening, an acrobatic overhead kick from Bogle went inches wide of the Carlisle target.
At the other end a similar attempt from Nicky Adams had Grimsby keeper McKeown scrambling across his line.

A much-loved village goose had not been shot dead despite reports it had been killed at point-blank range, tests have found.

Villagers of Sandon, Hertfordshire, claimed the gander was shot at the pond on 21 February by gunmen and police exhumed his body to carry out tests.
A post-mortem examination found the bird likely died of natural causes.
The examination, which included a CT scan, concluded the goose had not been shot, police said.
The Royal Veterinary College is due to carry out further tests.
Police were called by devastated villagers after the body of the goose, which features on the village sign, was found floating in the pond near the phone box where he made his home.
One resident told how he scooped the goose from the pond and saw it had a cut to its head.
Within days the phone box was filled with flowers and tributes to the village "character" many referred to as Grumpy Gertie.
The tale was reported on BBC Radio 2 where listeners called in to donate money towards a reward to catch those responsible for the alleged shooting.
More than Â£275,000 was pledged for the arrest of the shooters and police vowed to investigate.
A police spokesman said: "A full forensic post-mortem examination including a CT scan was carried out on the goose by veterinary pathologists at the Royal Veterinary College.
"This concluded the goose had not been shot.
"Whilst a precise cause of death remains unknown and more tests are being carried out at the Royal Veterinary College, a likely cause of death would be natural causes."


"All but one property" in central London has had gas supplies restored after an underground fire cut power to thousands of customers.

Some 5,000 people were evacuated and thousands of properties lost power after the blaze broke out under a pavement in Holborn on 1 April.
The fire was put out by London Fire Brigade on Good Friday after burning for 36 hours.
National Grid said engineers would return on Tuesday.
During the loss of power 3,000 properties were affected, according to UK Power Networks.
Eight theatres were also forced to cancel performances.


Commemorations have taken place across Wales to mark the 70th anniversary of Victory in Japan day.

VJ Day on 15 August 1945 followed the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by atomic bombs.
On Saturday, services have been held at St John's Church in Cardiff and at the war memorial in Llandudno, Conwy.
A national service is taking place at Llandaff Cathedral on Sunday where First Minister Carwyn Jones will give a reading.
The Cardiff Branch of the Burma Star Association has held its service at St John's Church.
About 300 people joined the parade from Llandudno Pier Head to the war memorial where a drumhead service was placed.
Canon of Dr Sarah Rowland Jones, from St John's Church, said: "The Burma Star Association was set up in 1951, and ever since we've had the veterans coming and holding a service annually.
"They're now down to single figures, only a couple of them are hail and hearty in their mid-90s and so they decided the time had come on the 70th anniversary of VJ Day to lay up their standard.
"So what we are doing today is holding a service in which the standard will be paraded as usual but at the end of the service it will be handed over to the church's safe keeping and we shall we hanging it up permanently right next to the Burma Star window so that it can be there for future generations to look at and be prompted to remember."
The national service the following day, which is open to the public and has been organised by the Welsh government, Cardiff council and Llandaff Cathedral, will start at 15:30 BST.
Speaking ahead of the event Mr Jones said: "We must never forget the sacrifice allied forces made for our freedoms during World War Two.
"Victory in Japan by the allied forces brought to an end six years of conflict which saw the tragic loss of so many lives and the destruction of so many communities across the world.
"Their heroics in battle, often so very far from home, will always have a special place in our hearts and it's important we remember and show our gratitude for their service."


Teacher training is at a "critical turning point" and needs to be changed, according to a major independent review for the Welsh government.

Prof John Furlong said the quality of the system had "deteriorated" since he last looked at it nearly 10 years ago.
It follows hot on the heels of proposals for a radical overhaul of how and what children are taught.
Education Minister Huw Lewis said the case for change was "compelling" if teachers are to meet future challenges.
Prof Furlong, appointed by Mr Lewis last year as an adviser on initial teacher education and training, was asked to look closely at the system and he has now set out nine recommendations in a 40-page report.
The Oxford University academic and former comprehensive school teacher said the case for change was "undeniable".
This year, 2,700 teachers are being trained at three centres involving five universities in Wales.
Among Prof Furlong's findings are:
Prof Furlong said he had been in contact with Prof Donaldson in drawing up his findings.
"It is my view that if the Welsh government, national agencies, schools and higher education work together on this, we can soon build a teacher education and training of which we can be proud," he said.
Mr Lewis said he would be considering the options in detail, adding: "In principle I  would disagree with nothing contained in Prof Furlong's report".


Ipswich Town have signed former Wolves defender Kevin Foley on a contract until the end of the season, subject to international clearance.

The 31-year-old, capped eight times by the Republic of Ireland, was a free agent after playing in Denmark for FC Copenhagen.
Foley has made a total of 388 appearances in English football for Luton, Wolves and Blackpool.
He comes in following the departure of fellow full-back Jonathan Parr.
The move reunites him with Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy, who signed Foley for Wolves in 2007.
Meanwhile, Ipswich have terminated the contract of winger Tommy Oar after the 24-year-old Australian found it "difficult to settle into life in England".
Oar made nine appearances for Town and scored one goal.

Managers will sometimes go to great lengths to seal a deal for a player they want, but knocking repeatedly on their front door until they agree might be a new one.

Admittedly, things work a little different for non-league clubs, but when Hungerford Town manager Bobby Wilkinson had the chance to sign former Reading, Hull and Doncaster midfielder James Harper, he was prepared to wear out the door bell to get his man.
Harper, now 35, made a name for himself with Reading over a nine-year spell and more than 300 appearances, including two seasons in the Premier League.
Despite Wilkinson's persistent house calls the Chelmsford-born playmaker is still hungry to play the game, even in National League South - the sixth tier.
"It's got me football, I can't let it go," he told BBC Sport.
And so it would seem.
Since dropping down from the Championship with Doncaster to join Conference side Barnet in early 2014, Harper has plied his trade for non-league Basingstoke Town and Hayes & Yeading before reuniting with former Reading team-mate Wilkinson at Hungerford.
"I'm a better player now than I was five years ago," Harper claimed ahead of his Hungerford debut against Poole Town on Saturday. "I can still run about, but at 35, you get hit with the ageism stigma.
"I'm still enjoying playing and if I couldn't still do it and keep up with the pace, I'd give it up."
Harper admits a move into coaching is a possibility, but is reluctant to combine the two while still playing.
"I've done my badges, but I'm not ready yet," he told BBC Radio Berkshire. "I need to concentrate on playing 100%.
"I've seen other people try and do half-and-half, combining coaching with playing. Generally, it's not gone well and I don't think you get the best out of either that way."
Hungerford manager Wilkinson, who also called on the services of ex-Reading and England left-back Nicky Shorey earlier this season, admits Harper brings "much-needed experience" to his squad.
"I'd been knocking on Harps' door for two to three months," Wilkinson revealed.
"I was taught when I started management that if you want someone, make sure you go round their house and keep knocking on their door until they say yes."

Hungerford have made a steady start to their first season in National League South, hovering around the play-offs despite Saturday's last-gasp 1-0 defeat by Poole.
"He (Harper) has been a credit fitting in around the squad," Wilkinson added. "This bunch have been together for a number of years, but he's been a part of everything on and off the pitch since joining.
"I need people like James Harper to steady the ship on the pitch when he's playing, but also I need his experience off the pitch when he's not playing.
"It's great for the club, for the area and the supporters to be able to see a player of his quality, and hopefully it brings a few more through the turnstiles."
James Harper and Bobby Wilkinson were talking to BBC Radio Berkshire's Adam Whitty.


France's police chief is keen to close a zone for up to 90,000 fans for part of the Euro 2016 football tournament, Agence France-Presse reports.

In a letter to Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, Michel Cadot cited the "exhaustion" of overstretched police and the threat of terrorism, according to AFP.
Paris is one of 10 host cities during the competition that starts next week.
This week, the US warned the tournament could be targeted by militants.
"The large number of tourists visiting Europe in the summer months will present greater targets for terrorists," the State Department said.
Paris has been preparing the fan zone at the foot of the world-famous Eiffel Tower.
Every match will be screened at the fan zone, but Mr Cadot is aiming for it to be shut during all 12 matches that take place in Paris' two stadiums.
Mr Cazeneuve is yet to publicly respond to Mr Cadot's proposal.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls has said fan zones in all 10 host cities should go ahead as planned during the tournament unless there is a specific threat.
Up to a million foreign fans are expected in France for the tournament, which involves the continent's top national teams and runs between 10 June-10 July.
France is already under a state of emergency following last November's attacks in Paris that were claimed by the so-called Islamic State (IS).
The near-simultaneous assaults on a stadium, concert hall, bars and restaurants left 130 people dead and many more wounded.
In March, 32 people died in neighbouring Belgium when suicide blasts hit Brussels airport and a metro station. IS said it was behind both the Paris and Brussels attacks.
2.5m are expected in stadiums for the games
1m foreign visitors
51 matches are taking place
10 venues across France are hosting games
90,000 security staff deployed
France's state of emergency has been extended to include the tournament, and it also plans to deploy anti-drone technology as another precaution.
More than 90,000 police, soldiers and private security agents are being deployed as well.


Bournemouth defender Simon Francis says people would be wrong to think their training trip to Dubai during the international break is a "holiday".

The Cherries flew out to the UAE following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Tottenham and return on Friday.
"We want to recover, rest up and go again in training over the next couple of weeks and continue to work hard," Francis told BBC Radio Solent.
Bournemouth's next league game is home against Manchester City on 2 April.
Eddie Howe's squad made a similar trip to Dubai last season during the international period and their run to the Championship title.
"People might look at it as a breather, relaxing and not doing anything," Francis added. "But, we benefited from it hugely last season at the same stage. It got us promoted basically.
"It's a bit of team bonding and everyone getting together for a week. Training in the warm weather means you get more out of it and you come back fitter."

The 100th anniversary of what is believed to be the last horse-drawn mail coach journey in the UK is to be recreated next month.

The service ran between Kingussie and Tulloch Station near Roy Bridge until May 1915 when it was replaced by motorised transport.
Mail Coach 100, a fundraising event, will follow the same route.
It will involve four teams of horses and be completed in four stages from 3-4 June.
The event involving Cairngorm Riding for the Disabled Association will feature the last coachman's pistol, which is kept in Newtonmore.
The organisers of Mail Coach 100 said they believed the original service was possibly the last in UK.


Principality Stadium chief executive Martyn Phillips would relish the chance to host an Anthony Joshua bout at the 74,500 capacity Cardiff venue.

Joshua knocked out Wladimir Klitschko to add the WBA world heavyweight title to his IBF crown at Wembley Stadium last weekend.
Afterwards the Englishman was hailed as "the biggest sports star in Britain".
"Nothing would make us happier than having a Joshua fight at some point," Phillips told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
Phillips says the stadium's roof - the only one of its kind in the United Kingdom - ensures the home of Welsh rugby can be used at anytime.
"The stadium is an asset that we want to use," he continued.
"When we're not playing rugby on it, we want to use it as much as we can so we've sort of driven that quite hard this year with concerts."
Speedway, rugby league, football and boxing have all taken centre stage there and Phillips says talks are continuing with NFL chiefs over the possibility of hosting American Football.
Joshua's stunning win over Klitschko added to his appeal and Tyson Fury has accepted the prospect of an all-British title bout.
Welsh boxing legend Joe Calzaghe beat Mikkel Kessler in front of an estimated 50,000 fans at what was then named Millennium Stadium in November, 2007
Phillips, the joint stadium and Welsh Rugby Union chief executive, added: "We're in conversations with various boxing promoters.
Find out how to get into boxing with our special guide.
"Obviously the roof - we are the only big stadium with a roof - and it's been done before, obviously, with Calzaghe and so on, previously.
"So nothing would make us happier than having a Joshua fight at some point."

A date has been set for the launch of the Night Tube service - almost a year after it was first scheduled to begin.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the Central and Victoria lines will start on 19 August, with the Piccadilly, Jubilee and Northern lines following in the autumn.
The service will run through the night on Fridays and Saturdays.
It was due to start last September but was delayed due to disputes with unions.
Last year union members went on strike over the introduction of the all-night service, as well as their pay and conditions.
The service will run:
Maintenance workers belonging to the RMT union are still in dispute with Transport for London. The union agreed a deal for its drivers in March, but said the deal for maintenance staff was "inferior".
About 200 part-time drivers are currently taking part in a 14-week training programme for the new service.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said there were "major" unresolved issues to do with conditions and pensions, and that it still had major concerns over safety.
"Against a background of massive cuts overshadowing TfL budgets all parties have to be clear that Night Tube, a development that RMT supports, cannot be delivered on the cheap," he said.
The mayor said: "The Night Tube is absolutely vital to my plans to support and grow London's night-time economy - creating more jobs and opportunities for all Londoners.
"The constant delays under the previous mayor let Londoners down badly. I have made getting the Night Tube up and running a priority."
London's transport commissioner, Mike Brown, said: "More than half a million people use the Tube after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and the introduction of the Night Tube, which will support London's businesses and jobs, is a historic step in our modernisation of the Underground and our work to support London's economic growth."
Of all of the previous mayor Boris Johnson's schemes, the Night Tube was the most problematic to get off the ground.
I once called it a zombie policy - half dead wandering around, causing nothing but trouble.
It was meant to start in September 2015 but the transport unions were not happy about pay and changes to their work life balance.
The eventual solution - as well as bonuses - was to hire in part-time night drivers.
Now we have a start date (again) but crucially it is only for the Central and Victoria lines. That's because there are still unresolved issues with RMT staff who work mainly on the other planned night lines - the Jubilee, the Northern and the Piccadilly.
By going ahead with a start anyway there is a risk that antagonises the unions. It could be the first big test for the new mayor's relationship with London's transport unions.
Until it's running on five lines, there are probably more twists to come.


An organisation offering alerts to potential sightings of the Aurora Borealis hopes to be able to provide them earlier from a new Shetland site.

Lancaster University's AuroraWatch UK plans to install detection equipment in the islands.
Shetland would be its most northerly location for a detector. It currently has equipment in Aberdeen.
Other organisations such as British Geological Survey plus Nasa and NOAA in the US offer information on the aurora.
AuroraWatch UK's planned new magnetometer would involve using a low-cost Raspberry Pi computer.
The kit could become the model for a magnetometer affordable to citizen scientists in the future, the organisation has suggested.
The aurora, also known as the Northern Lights, is caused by the interaction of solar wind - a stream of charged particles escaping the Sun - and Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.
In the UK, Scotland offers some of the best places to observe the aurora and spectacular displays have been photographed from locations in the Highlands, Aberdeenshire and East Lothian.
Last month, aurora watchers were alerted to the chances of seeing a new type of light that had been indentified in the night sky and named Steve.


Liverpool lacked their usual intensity in Sunday's surprise 2-0 defeat at Newcastle because Jurgen Klopp did not pick a team that could implement his gameplan.

With Newcastle in such poor form and so nervy, on top of the way his side have been counter-attacking so well of late, I thought beforehand that it would be a game that would play into Klopp's hands.
But the Reds were never on the front foot high up the pitch in the same way they were against, say, Manchester City when they won 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium last month.
In that game Liverpool's forwards were putting City's centre-halves and full-backs under constant pressure and setting traps for them whenever they were on the ball.
Against Newcastle, in contrast, they allowed the home team to slowly grow into the game and the Magpies went on to win it convincingly.
The Magpies were the first team to run further and make more sprints than Liverpool in a Premier League game since Klopp took charge, but matching the Reds' work-rate was not the only reason they won.
Liverpool's basic stats against Newcastle - their total distance covered and number of sprints - were typical of the kind of figures we have seen in some of their impressive wins under Klopp, but something was clearly missing from their performance, and it started up front.
Klopp clearly had a plan, and a reason, for going with Christian Benteke to lead his attack, as opposed to the front three he had against City when he did not field a recognised striker.
That was always going to mean a drop in the amount of high intensity pressing his team were able to do from the front, because Benteke is not really that kind of player.
Take Benteke out and replace him with another attacking midfielder and you are automatically going to get more intensity high up the pitch.
There was another significant difference in midfield at St James' Park, with Emre Can missing because of suspension.
That meant Klopp had a midfield of Joe Allen and Lucas Leiva, who are both more like holding players, compared to Can, who is far more dynamic and operates box-to-box.
I am not saying Benteke - or Allen and Lucas - were totally to blame for Liverpool's defeat but together they were contributing factors, and I think Klopp got his team wrong this time.
Sunday's defeat showed Klopp is still trying to work out the strengths and weaknesses of the players in his squad, and finding out who can fit into his gameplan.
He made six changes from Wednesday's 6-1 Capital One Cup win at Southampton, and he is obviously giving all of his players an opportunity, which is a positive thing. I think the reason he did not seem too down after losing to Newcastle was that he realises it is part of the process.

It will probably be about eight to 12 months, and at least a couple of transfer windows, before he really puts a stamp on this team.
I was talking to a number of Liverpool fans before the Newcastle game and their feelings seem to change all the time about what they can achieve this season - one week they are a work in progress, the next they are back in the big time.
It is too soon to get carried away. There have been some really encouraging signs and glimpses of what Klopp is capable of but there have also been blips - like Sunday - where you are reminded he is only two months into the job.

Leyton Orient's match with Colchester United was postponed for nearly two hours after fans occupied the pitch.

Colchester eventually won the match 3-1 after home fans protesting against Orient owner Francesco Becchetti got onto the pitch in the 85th minute.
Following the lengthy postponement, players returned and played the final eight minutes behind closed doors.
A Football League statement said the game was concluded "to maintain the integrity of the competition".
It read: "The decision to play the match to a conclusion was agreed with both managers and with the support of the match officials.
"The police and stadium security staff were happy for the match to restart and this took place at approximately 6.40pm.
"Despite requests for the fans to clear the pitch, there wasn't sufficient movement to allow the game to restart following a pitch invasion.
"A decision was taken with the police to announce that the game had been abandoned, as it was felt this would help clear the pitch, which proved correct.
"However, it was deemed appropriate that the game needed to be played to a conclusion in order to maintain the integrity of the competition and in respect of Colchester United's position of being able to qualify for the League Two play-offs."
Bottom side Orient were relegated from the English Football League for the first time in their history last weekend.
Before kick-off, troubled club Orient released a statement saying that they had cleared their debts to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
However, BBC London understands some freelance contractors at the club are yet to be paid.
Colchester's goals came from Tarique Fosu-Henry, Chris Porter and Macauley Bonne, while Sandro Semedo netted for Orient.
The win moved Colchester up to 10th place, a point adrift of the play-off places with one match remaining.
Leyton Orient manager Omer Riza told BBC Radio London:
"When I spoke to John McGreal we said we'd play normally (following the delay) but I think the players - maybe it was hard for them to warm up and get back into the speed of the game - decided to see it out for five minutes.
"I think it's right (that the game was completed). Those are the rules we have to abide by - if we didn't finish it now then we'd have to come back next week and that wouldn't have been good for Colchester, the players or us.
"It was the right thing to clear the pitch, wait however long it needed and get it finished."
Colchester head coach John McGreal told BBC Essex:
"We knew during the week something could happen in terms of fan protests.
"It was an ongoing situation once we came off the pitch. We consulted with the EFL and Leyton Orient and agreed we'd get it finished. Omer [Riza] and myself came together and didn't want to have to come back in the week to finish it.
"The Orient fans were fine throughout. There was never any feeling of the players being in danger at all and I have to commend our supporters for their behaviour and I hope they can now look forward to next week with so much to play for."
BBC Essex commentator Glenn Speller told BBC Radio 5 Live:
"It was one of the most bizarre afternoons I've ever experienced in all my years covering football matches.
"The fans were told that the game was abandoned. There were a number of announcements over the tannoy and while they were ignored by the majority, eventually people left.
"At 16:40 BST the players went off. At 16:48 BST it was abandoned. At 18:43 BST the players came back out.
"The press were told not to put anything on social media while more police arrived to secure the ground."

The Queen has celebrated her 91st birthday by taking part in one of her favourite activities - watching the races at Newbury Racecourse.

It was a more modest affair than the national festivities for her 90th birthday last year.
But military salutes were held across the UK to mark the occasion - including a 21-gun salute of tiny cannons fired by children at Windsor Castle.
Birthday wishes for the Queen have come from around the world.
The Queen, who reached her 65-year Sapphire Jubilee in February, is Britain's longest-reigning monarch.
Her thoroughbred Maths Prize was running at Newbury, and the Queen was seen sharing a joke in the royal box before her horse lined up with six other runners.
But the monarch, joined by her daughter the Princess Royal, was denied a birthday gift from Maths Prize, as it finished fifth.
Last year, more than 900 beacons were lit up across the UK and overseas as part of her 90th birthday celebrations. Crowds lined the streets in Windsor, church services were held in her honour, and the Queen took part in a walkabout at Windsor.
While her 91st was a more private affair, there was a 41-gun salute in Hyde Park and 21-gun salute in Windsor Great Park at midday, ahead of a 62-gun salute at the Tower of London at 13:00 BST.
The event at Windsor - where the Queen is believed to be currently staying - was different to most military salutes however, with children chosen to fire the 1ft (0.3m) cannons.
While it is not known what the Queen has received for her 91st birthday, she is known to favour practical gifts over more extravagant presents.
Her children have given her items including a casserole dish and apron over the years, while the Duchess of Cambridge made her some chutney for Christmas - following her own grandmother's recipe.
Speaking on BBC Radio 1 on Friday, the Duke of Cambridge admitted it was "quite hard to know what to get" his grandmother "that she hasn't already got".
He said now "the great-grandchildren can make stuff", which "goes down really well", adding that three-year-old George is "very good at arts and craft".
Many of her favourite presents over the years have reflected her love of animals.
When she was four, the Queen's grandfather King George V gave her her first horse, a Shetland pony called Peggy.
And when she was 18, she was given a corgi called Susan, sparking a lifelong affection for the dog breed. She has now owned more than 30 corgis.
There was also a 21-gun royal salute fired from Edinburgh Castle.
Bells pealed at Westminster Abbey to mark the occasion and Irish Guards performed a rendition of Happy Birthday to You outside Buckingham Palace.
Many of the thousands of tourists at the landmark also joined in with the song.
Buckingham Palace tweeted a picture of the monarch as a baby on her christening day, where she is held by her mother Elizabeth, Duchess of York. They also released a picture of the Queen when she was 21 as she received the Freedom of the City of London - the first significant London ceremony she attended unaccompanied.
Clarence House, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall's official residence, shared a picture of the Queen and a young Prince Charles from 1952.
Well-wishers used the hashtag #HappyBirthdayHerMajesty to tweet their own birthday messages.
The Royal Albert Hall said: "Happy birthday to our patron, Queen Elizabeth!" and a Scout group in Bristol tweeted: "#HappyBirthdayHerMajesty... And wish you a prosperous day!"
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted a birthday message, wishing the Queen "a happy 91st birthday and continued health and happiness in the years to come", while Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson tweeted: "Hip hip hooray for The Queen and MANY CONGRATS to Her Majesty".
Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926, the first child of the then Duke and Duchess of York, at 17 Bruton Street, the Mayfair home of her grandparents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore.
She also celebrates an "official birthday" which falls on the second Saturday in June. Two days ahead of her official birthday this year, the snap election announced for Thursday 8 June will be the 17th general election of the Queen's reign.
It will be marked with the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London- with this year's taking place the week later, on 17 June.
The tradition of the monarch having two birthdays dates back to Edward VII, who was born in November but celebrated his birthday in May and June as the weather was better during those months.


The new head of the Isle of Man's prison and probation service says he aims to place "a strong focus" on prisoner rehabilitation.

Bob McColm, 59, will take over on 23 March from Alison Gomme, who announced her retirement last October.
Mr McColm, who has 30 years' experience in the UK's prison service, will lead an island staff of about 140.
He said: "I will place a strong focus on meeting the rehabilitation needs of prisoners to keep them out of custody."
He added: "I'm aware of the work taking place to reform the island's criminal justice system and the important contribution to be made by the prison and probation service."
Mr McColm has served as governor at HM Young Offenders Institute Lancaster Farms, HMP Garth, HMYOI Thorn Cross, HMP Kirkham and HMP Altcourse.
The Manx government said he also led the transformation of HMP Risley from a failing prison into one with significant performance improvements.


Manchester City have signed goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Barcelona for 18m euros (£15.4m).

The fee for the 33-year-old Chile international could rise with £1.7m of add-ons, say the Spanish club.
Bravo, who has signed a four-year contract, is expected to start ahead of England goalkeeper Joe Hart and Argentine Willy Caballero.
Barca have replaced Bravo with Netherlands international Jasper Cillessen, who joins from Ajax.
Bravo said: "I'm very proud to be joining Manchester City.
"I know the club is building something very special and I hope I can be part of many successes in the coming years."
Bravo joined Barcelona in 2014 and won two La Liga titles and the Fifa Club World Cup.
He was also part of the Champions League-winning squad in 2015, but never played in the competition for Barca.
"It is not easy to leave a club like Barcelona where I had two fantastic years, but the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola was too good to refuse," he added.
Guardiola, who became City manager in the summer, said: "Claudio is a fantastic goalkeeper and an excellent addition to our squad.
"He has experience and great leadership qualities and is in the prime of his life. He is a goalkeeper I have admired for a number of years and I'm really happy he is now a City player."
Guardiola has signed Bravo as he has major reservations about Hart's ability to play as the kind of 'sweeper-keeper' his preferred system demands.
Hart, 29, was dropped by Guardiola for the first three games of the season but was made captain for their Champions League play-off win against Steaua Bucharest, keeping a clean sheet in his first start of the season.
It was expected Hart would leave the club before the transfer window closes on 31 August, but an immediate transfer is no longer certain.
He does not want to move to Sevilla or Borussia Dortmund, both of whom are reported to be interested in signing him.
Everton seemed a potential destination late last week but manager Ronald Koeman has said he has "no interest" in signing Hart.
England manager Sam Allardyce has said Hart's situation is "a concern" but that he would pick the player in his squad for the World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on 4 September.

The desk where Charles Dickens wrote Great Expectations is finally on public display thanks to a £780,000 grant.

The Charles Dickens Museum in London has been given the grant to buy the desk and chair, which has always been in private ownership.
They had been passed down through the Dickens family after his death in 1870, but were auctioned for the Great Ormond Street Charitable Trust in 2004.
Dickens used the desk in his final home in Gad's Hill Place in Kent.
Our Mutual Friend and his unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood were also penned at the desk.
The furniture would have been sold at public auction if it was not for the grant from the  National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF).
Made famous in two paintings begun the year he died, the Empty Chair by Luke Fildes and Dickens' Dream by RW Buss, the desk and chair are already on display at the Charles Dickens Museum at the author's former home.
Robert Moye, director of the Charles Dickens Museum, said: "We are delighted to have been able to acquire Charles Dickens' iconic writing desk and chair for permanent display in his study at 48 Doughty Street.
"They hold a unique place in our literary heritage and, as we embark on our exhibition exploring The Mystery of Edwin Drood, it is timely that the desk he used when writing his final novel has been secured for the benefit of all our visitors."


A man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder, after allegedly driving a car at his neighbour during a row over a paint attack on a vehicle.

Michael Stitt, from Butler Place in north Belfast, was refused bail at Belfast Magistrates' Court.
He is accused of driving "directly at" his neighbour, Daniel McFarland, after a confrontation on Friday, 15 October.
The court was told Mr McFarland is still in hospital after he sustained a fractured skull and broken ankle.
Mr Stitt, 25, was also charged with driving while disqualified and driving without insurance on the same date.
He confirmed that he understood the three charges against him.
The attack allegedly took place in the Ardoyne area of north Belfast, when a dispute between neighbours about paint being poured over Mr Stitt's car erupted into violence.
A detective constable, who said he believed he could connect Mr Stitt to the charges, objected to bail.
The judge said there was "obviously a background" to the allegations and that everyone involved lived "close together".
He refused bail but added that he would be more inclined to grant the application if there was an alternative address further from the scene of the attack.


Sark's largest employer has warned it may make most of its workforce redundant in September.

Sark Estate Managements, which runs most of the island's big hotels, said it could cut staffing from 110, or 50 in the low season, to about 25.
Manager Kevin Delaney said the decision was due to a lack of growth in the island's tourism industry.
He said with no moves from government to encourage a growth in tourism the business had to cut it costs.
Mr Delaney said he was disappointed in the lack of progress in plans to create a customs area in Sark to allow direct travel to the island from France.
Currently, anyone visiting the island has to clear customs in Guernsey.
Mr Delaney said it would "transform Sark's tourist industry" by opening up a "market of eight million people in Brittany and Normandy alone".
He said: "In the absence of that arriving we will see very substantial redundancies as soon as this season comes to an end, probably mid September."
In 2012, the company cut 100 jobs blaming it on a decline in the tourist industry and closed all its businesses for two weeks in December 2008 after the island elected its first fully democratic government.
The island has a population of about 600.
Mr Delaney said the business would be reduced to "a caretaker organisation" with the exception of the vineyards, which would be unaffected.
He said: "We'll probably keep one hotel open - we'll probably keep the Aval [Du Creux] open, for the minimal number of people who come to the island.
"(With) the rest of the hotels, it would be immoral to keep them open to just pay staff to stand around all day waiting for visitors which quite simply aren't going to come."
He added: "It's a horse and cart situation - the hotels can't stay open because the visitors won't come and the visitors won't come because the hotels aren't open.
"That's why there needs to be an overall well thought through economic policy for this island. That's the only way we'll achieve full employment on the back of the island's principle industry, which is tourism."


Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne has been fined £1,000 for assaulting a railway security guard and being drunk and disorderly.

Appearing before magistrates in Stevenage, he admitted attacking Jack Sherrington at the Hertfordshire town's railway station on 4 July.
Assault charges relating to his ex-wife Sheryl Gascoigne, 47, were withdrawn.
The attack on Mr Sherrington took place weeks after the ex-Newcastle, Tottenham and Rangers star left rehab in the US.
The 46-year-old former footballer, who has battled alcoholism for many years, was treated at a clinic in Arizona.
He was travelling from Newcastle to London King's Cross after visiting his sick father, but got off the train at Stevenage.
The court heard Mr Sherrington tried to come to Gascoigne's aid after he noticed him staggering towards the railway tracks.
Staff at the station noticed he was drunk and tried to help Gascoigne by putting him in a wheelchair, but he became abusive towards Mr Sherrington, prosecutor Elaine McMillan said.
She said Gascoigne grabbed hold of Mr Sherrington in the neck area in an assault which lasted a few seconds.
The security guard did not suffer any injuries. The court ordered the former footballer to pay £100 in compensation to Mr Sherrington.
Gascoigne's lawyer, Gavin Harris, said he had only consumed a small amount of alcohol due to a "combination of stress caused by worry for his father and acute pain from a hip operation six weeks previously".
As the ex-footballer had not drunk alcohol for a significant period of time, the effects were stronger than would have otherwise been the case, Mr Harris added.
The court heard Gascoigne's ex-wife Sheryl and his children were called to the station and his 17-year-old son became "distressed".
Gascoigne was originally charged with two counts of assault, one involving his ex-wife, but that charged was dropped.
Magistrates also heard he was receiving "one-to-one" treatment for his alcoholism,
Mr Harris said the former footballer was "remorseful".
In a statement read outside court, Mr Harris said Gascoigne wanted to "publicly apologise for his actions that evening".
"He now wishes to be left alone to carry on with his recovery," Mr Harris added.
Mr Sherrington, from Peterborough, said he "fully accepted" Gascoigne's apology.
In a statement, he said: "In differing ways this has not been easy for either of us and I sincerely hope he gets the help that he needs in the future.
"I now consider this matter closed."


A Sheffield Liberal Democrat councillor has defected to the Labour Party.

Councillor Ben Curran's decision to switch parties could mean the Liberal Democrats losing control of Sheffield City Council.
But the Liberal Democrats - whose leader Nick Clegg is MP for Sheffield Hallam - will remain in control unless there is a vote of no confidence against council leader, Paul Scriven.
Mr Scriven said the move had come as a "surprise."
The Lib Dems are the biggest party on Sheffield City Council and run the authority despite losing their overall majority at the local elections earlier this year.
Before Mr Curran's defection the Lib Dems held 42 of the 84 seats. Labour had 38 seats and the balance was held by Independents and Greens.
There is also one vacancy on the council left by the recent death of former council leader and Labour stalwart Jan Wilson.
But unless there is a collaboration of Labour, Independents and the Green Party and there is a vote of no confidence against Cllr Scriven, the Liberal Democrats remain in control.
Mr Curran, who represents Walkley and was voted onto the council in May, said his decision was made due to the "lack of resistance" shown by the Lib Dems locally to the cutbacks and the "disgraceful decision" to cancel a government loan to local company Forgemasters.
He said: "I was bitterly disappointed with where the party was going nationally with Nick Clegg and I was also left disillusioned with the lack of resistance shown by the Lib Dems locally with all the savage cuts that have hit this city.
"The disgraceful decision to cancel the Forgemasters loan is a case in point.
"As Sheffield Lib Dem councillors, we were asked to defend what turned out to be a completely unjustifiable decision and it soon transpired that all the reasons in favour of cancelling the loan were just a pack of lies.
"My personal values haven't changed but the political landscape has."
He was welcomed by Sheffield Labour Group' leader Julie Dore, who said: "In fact, the doors are wide open for any other Lib Dems who feel uneasy with the Tory-led coalition and who are sick to death of these spiteful cuts, which are being made too far, too fast and hitting the most vulnerable hardest."
In a written statement, Mr Scriven said the defection had been "orchestrated" to coincide with the start of the Liberal Democrat Party conference starting in Liverpool this weekend.
A Lib Dem spokesman said: "Our national conference is a key opportunity for members and councillors to come together and discuss the issues with Liberal Democrat government ministers.
"It is a shame that Ben did not want to discuss his concerns in this way."
On Thursday, Barnsley's only Lib Dem councillor, Sharron Brook, joined Labour.
At the beginning of this month, three Liberal Democrat councillors in Cheshire resigned from the party in a row over coalition budget cuts.
And in August Liverpool Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Jobling defected to Labour citing the same reasons.


A woman on trial for assisting the suicide of her best friend has said she "was the only one who knew what she was planning", a court has heard.

Amelia Caller, 22, is accused of buying gas that her friend, Emma Crossman, used to take her own life.
The 21-year-old was found dead at her home in Sleaford, Lincolnshire in January 2014.
Miss Caller denies the murder on the basis she did not think Miss Crossman would kill herself.
In a recording of her police interview, which was played at Lincoln Crown Court on Thursday, Miss Caller said: "I was the only one who knew what she was planning.
"I was trying everything to stop her...I didn't want her to do it."
The court has previously heard Miss Caller, of Great Hale, Lincolnshire, was "obsessed and infatuated" with Miss Crossman, who had a history of depression, self-harm and overdoses.
A series of Facebook and text messages exchanged between the two women, discussing how Miss Crossman would take her own life, were also read out in court.
One message from Miss Caller suggested the pair have "one fun final day out" while another said "I keep thinking what kind of mate murders their best mate".
Earlier in the trial, Miss Crossman's ex-partner, Adrian Kemp, 56, said she had sent messages about ending her life after they had split up.
He said the two friends drank heavily together and he had confiscated gas bought for Miss Crossman by Miss Caller.
The trial continues.


The chief constable of Staffordshire Police has announced she will retire next year.

Jane Sawyers will leave next summer after 32 years with the force.
She said it had "not been an easy decision", adding she was "honoured" to hold the post and was "proud of the professionalism, commitment and service" of her staff.
Ms Sawyers said she would work with police and crime commissioner Matthew Ellis to find her replacement.


Sixty tonnes of soil and five large containers of debris have been cleared from a railway line after a wall collapsed on to the tracks.

Part of a trackside wall "loaded with concrete and cabins by a third party" fell, said Network Rail, blocking all four lines into Liverpool Lime Street from about 17:45 GMT on Tuesday.
Network Rail said services would resume into and out of the station on 9 March.
An investigation into the cause of the 200-tonne landslip is under way.
A spokeswoman for Network Rail said: "Our engineers are working round the clock to get train services back up and running.
"Overnight we removed 60 tonnes of soil and five large containers, each holding many tonnes of material, from the top of the cutting to prevent further slips."
Engineers have been working to remove a "10 inch-thick concrete slab" before they can "start stabilising the retaining wall".
Network Rail will repair the damaged railway and overhead wires once the debris is cleared.
Network Rail said it was liaising with transport operators to ensure passengers get the right advice including Liverpool FC fans travelling to Saturday's Premier League clash with Arsenal.
Train customers are advised to check before they travel.
Liverpool Lime Street is the main station serving the city centre.


A late Adam Ashe try snatched victory for Glasgow Warriors on Friday night against an impressive Benetton Treviso.

The Italian visitors are winless this season and lie bottom of the Pro12.
But they had led for much of this match through two Jayden Hayward penalties.
The Warriors could not break Treviso's resistance, until number eight Ashe's 72nd minute effort from a five-metre scrum, with replacement pivot Duncan Weir adding a conversion and a late penalty to seal the win.
Head coach Gregor Townsend had made eight alterations to the side that lost in disappointing fashion to Northampton Saints in last weekend's European Champions Cup clash.
If he was seeking an emphatic response to that defeat, then Townsend might have been left a little underwhelmed at his team's display - especially given the calibre of his line-up - though it is worth remembering that Treviso visited Scotstoun under similar circumstances a year ago and were only narrowly beaten.
They too made several changes in among the backline, New Zealander Hayward starting at stand-off outside countryman Chris Smylie.
It was Scotland pivot Finn Russell, however, who opened the scoring for the hosts from the tee after three minutes.
His opposite number swiftly cancelled out that effort, and took Treviso into the lead with his second penalty on the half-hour mark.
The Warriors toiled away for much of the second period, failing to overcome the Italian defence, before a period of pressure in the visitors' 22 yielded a penalty in front of the posts.
Rather than kick for goal to level the scores, Glasgow opted to scrummage, and from the set-piece, Ashe plunged over to the delight of a sold-out Scotstoun.
Weir converted, and stretched his side's lead in the dying minutes with a penalty.
Glasgow Warriors: Stuart Hogg, Taqele Naiyaravoro, Mark Bennett, Alex Dunbar, Sean Lamont, Finn Russell, Grayson Hart, Gordon Reid, Shalva Mamukashvili, Mike Cusack, Tim Swinson, Jonny Gray (captain), Rob Harley, Chris Fusaro, Adam Ashe.
Replacements: James Malcolm, Ryan Grant, Sila Puafisi, Greg Peterson, Josh Strauss, Ali Price, Duncan Weir, Sam Johnson.
Benetton Treviso: Luke McLean (captain), Andrea Pratichetti, Tommaso Iannone, Sam Christie, Simone Ferrari, Jayden Hayward, Chris Smylie, Matteo Zanusso, Ornel Gega, Filippo Filippetto, Filo Paulo, Jeff Montauriol, Marco Barbini, Francesco Minto, Braam Steyn.
Replacements: Luca Bigi, Alberto De Marchi, Salesi Manu, Dean Budd, Marco Lazzaroni, Andrea De Marchi, Edoardo Gori, James Ambrosini.
