The two journalists who have been killed in Homs were both veterans of war zones across the world despite their differing ages.

Marie Colvin was a distinguished foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times. She was originally from New York State in the US but had been based in London for many years.
Speaking to the BBC from Homs on Tuesday, she said she had seen "sickening" scenes, and watched a baby die from shrapnel injuries.
She had worked in conflict zones from Kosovo to Chechnya, and across the Arab world.
She was injured while reporting from the rebel-held northern region of Sri Lanka in 2001 and lost the sight in her left eye.
Speaking in 2010 at a service remembering journalists killed in conflict, she said that war reporting must continue, despite the dangers.
"Our mission is to report these horrors of war with accuracy and without prejudice," she said.
"We always have to ask ourselves whether the level of risk is worth the story."
Marie Colvin, who was 56 and a Yale graduate, was known for her personal style of war reporting and had frequently been the lone journalist in areas of high risk.
She won many awards for her work, including Foreign Reporter of the Year at the British Press Awards in 2010.
Paying tribute to Marie Colvin, the editor of the Sunday Times, John Witherow, said she was an "extraordinary figure" in the life of the paper, driven by a passion to cover wars in the belief that what she did mattered.
Her thoughts were always with the victims of violence, he said.
He added that she was a woman with "a tremendous joie de vivre, full of humour and mischief and surrounded by a large circle of friends, all of whom feared the consequences of her bravery".
Marie Colvin's report from Homsappeared on the front page of the most recent edition of the Sunday Times. Referring to the article in an email to the BBC's Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, on Monday night, Marie Colvin wrote that she thought the piece "was one of those we got into journalism for".
"They are killing with impunity here, it is sickening and anger-making," she wrote.
Writing to a friend on Facebook the night before she was killed, she joked that reports of her survival "may be exaggerated".
She said of Baba Amr that she could not understand "how the world can stand by and I should be hardened by now.
"Feeling helpless. As well as cold! Will keep trying to get out the information."
Her mother told journalists Ms Colvin's legacy was: "Be passionate and be involved in what you believe in. And do it as thoroughly and honestly and fearlessly as you can."
The French photojournalist Remi Ochlik was born in 1983 in Lorraine.
After studying photography in Paris he began his career covering conflict zones with a trip to Haiti in 2004.
In 2005 he founded a photographic agency, IP3 Press, in Paris, with two fellow photographers.
He covered the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2008, and was back in Haiti in 2010, photographing the cholera epidemic and presidential elections.
In 2011 he covered the Arab Spring revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt and the war in Libya.
He won a first prize in the 2012 World Press Photo contest forthis imageof a rebel fighter in Libya.


A community centre declared no longer fit for purpose will be resurrected with a £500,000 renovation.

The Bullingdon Community Centre in the Lye Valley was built in the 1940s, but structural engineers said the prefabricated structure with concrete block walls needs extensive work.
Oxford City Council has provided the money to improve the hall and grounds.
Richard Bryant, Bullingdon Community Association secretary, said the money exceeded expectations.
Props have been installed to make the hall safe for the time being.
The association will carry out a consultation with residents on what they would like to see in the new facility, with building work expected to start early next year.


Crop circle appearances in Wiltshire have dropped by almost half in a year, according to researchers.

The county's Crop Circle Information and Coordination Centre (CICC) said they had only seen 25 so far this year - 15 fewer than usual for the period.
A decline in the man-made act and a late harvest have both been blamed.
Charles Mallet, from the centre, said he wished amateur crop circlers would quit because they were "clouding a genuine and real phenomenon".
He said: "The whole situation has become massively polluted over the last 10 years or so, to the degree where the real issue is clouded by huge amounts of organised crime and vandalism.
"These people are effectively creeping onto private land and vandalising it. Farmers are extremely angry about this."
In a bid to appease landowners, the centre has backed a crowd-funding campaign to sell "access passes" with money raised going towards compensating affected farmers.
So far it has raised about Â£1,900 towards a targeted Â£35,600.
Derren Heath, landlord of the Barge Inn near Pewsey, said local businesses depended on tourists coming to see the crop circles.
He added that tourists would spend time in the area to also visit the stone circles in Stonehenge and Avebury as well as West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill.
"We have had visitors from Norway, France, Spain in the last year - from everywhere in the world they come here," he said.
"They are going to stay here for a week and take in absolutely everything, so it brings a massive amount of money into the area."
But man-made crop circles are often unpopular among the landowners who have their crops targeted.
Ben Butler, a farmer from Avebury, said hundreds of pounds of damage was being done to his land every year.
"Farming over the last 12 months has been very hard due to the weather, so the crops were not established well last autumn, and now we've got criminal damage in the field," he said.
"Probably over the last 20 years we would see at least two formations on our farm every year.
"What that brings is the issue of people entering your field - nobody asks, they just come as they like.
"I wouldn't walk into someone's garden without asking so why should they be allowed to walk in the field without asking."


England captain Chris Robshaw will be out for three to four weeks with a shoulder injury, his club Harlequins have confirmed.

The 28-year-old sustained the injury during Quins' home win over Leinster in the European Champions Cup last Sunday.
The flanker is expected to be back in action in early January, with England's Six Nations campaign starting against Wales in Cardiff on Friday, 6 February.
Pool Two leaders Harlequins next face Leinster in Dublin on Saturday.
Robshaw is also likely to miss the Premiership games against Newcastle, Northampton and London Welsh.


West Ham striker Andy Carroll is facing up to six weeks out of action with a hamstring injury.

The 27-year-old was substituted after just 15 minutes in the Hammers' 3-1 win at Bournemouth.
Carroll had scored two goals in West Ham's past four games after returning to action in September 2015, following seven months out for knee surgery.
"He's a positive lad, but of course he is gutted for several reasons," said Hammers boss Slaven Bilic.
"He felt he was back and enjoying his football.
"It's not the end of the world, though. If everything goes well he will be back very soon so there is no reason to be negative.
"If it goes as we expect, then he will be back for a significant part of the season, the last 10-15 games, with enough time to make a huge impact on our season."
A former Newcastle player, Carroll joined West Ham from Liverpool for a club record £15m in June 2013.
Carroll has won nine England caps and scored twice but has not played for the national team since a World Cup qualifier against San Marino in October 2012.
West Ham are fifth in the Premier League, just a point behind fourth-placed Tottenham with 17 games remaining.


The latest plans for a £2bn "garden village" on the outskirts of Cardiff have been submitted to planners.

Redrow Homes' outline proposals for the greenfield site near St Fagans includes almost 6,000 homes, four schools, shops and parks.
If passed, Plasdwr will be built over 20 years and will also include sports and healthcare facilities.
But residents and politicians have objected over traffic, overdevelopment and environmental concerns.
Plans for the first stages of the development, which will see about 1,000 homes built on land near Pentrebane Road and Llantrisant Road, have already been granted.
The latest phase of the scheme is for homes on a 900 acre-site (368 hectare) of fields bordering Fairwater, St Fagans, Danescourt and Radyr.
As well as homes, it includes proposals for three primary schools, a secondary school, playgrounds, play areas and facilities for teenagers such as a BMX or skateboard park.
There could also be two food stores, a GP surgery and dentist, sports pitches and allotments as well as restaurants and pubs.
New roads, bus routes and cycle paths are also planned.
But community councils in Radyr and Morganstown and St Fagans are against the scheme, while a petition of more than 200 names and 130 letters have also been submitted in opposition.
Plaid Cymru AM Neil McEvoy and Rod McKerlich, councillor for Radyr and Morganstown, are also against it.
Their concerns include worries about wildlife, increased traffic, and questions over whether local services could cope with the large influx of new residents it would bring.
The planning application will be considered by councillors on Wednesday.


A man killed his father and wounded his brother in a row over a mobile phone charger, a court has been told.

Patrick Murphy, 30, admits he stabbed his father Joseph Murphy, 54, at their home in Hectorage Road, Tonbridge, in May, but denies murder.
Maidstone Crown Court jurors heard Mr Murphy had drunk three cans of super-strength lager before the incident.
They were also played a recording of the argument, recorded by a neighbour on her mobile phone.
In the recording Mr Murphy's mother, Sandra, first shouts ,"It's not stopping the blood, it's pouring out of the arteries", and then she shouts, "Patrick, put the knives down".
The court heard the recording was made by neighbour Clare Hurcombe who said she had had years of problems with the Murphy family.
Giving evidence, Ms Hurcombe told the court while Patrick had always been polite and friendly, his parents had not - and often shouted at Patrick "in a bullying and intimidating way".
She also told the court the Murphy family were "neighbours from hell" and on one occasion Mrs Murphy had threatened to have her beaten.
Prosecution lawyers told jurors Mr Murphy stormed out of the house after the row, exchanged the phone for cash, and then went to an off licence where he bought and drank several cans of strong lager, after which he bought three knives at a supermarket.
It is claimed Mr Murphy then returned home where there was another row when his father suffered a knife wound to the artery in his arm, and died an hour later.
Mr Murphy is also accused of wounding his brother, but denies causing GBH with intent.
The case continues.


On Monday morning staff at a US polymer manufacturer arrived at work to discover a break-in.

The doors had been smashed, glass littering the floor. Police were called.
When staff at Argonics Inc's Colorado office realised nothing had been taken they reviewed CCTV footage of the doors.
The suspect had not even bothered to cover their face. Plus, unusually, protruding from that face were long horns - a rogue goat was behind the damage.
The company uploaded the footage to their YouTube account and the video has since attracted close to half-a-million views.
"Our office manager arrived at the office on Monday morning and saw the doors were smashed," a company spokesperson told the BBC.
"He called the police to report a break-in.
"Once the police arrived, he thought to check the camera footage and saw that it was actually the goat."

What sparked the goat's violent outburst remains unclear, but it hasn't prevented social media users from speculating about the goat's motives.
"He probably saw his reflection in the glass, thought it was another goat, got intimidated and enraged and tried to fight it," one YouTube user suggested below the video.
"It was peer pressure from a gang of goat looters," mused another.
Argonics staff were left with a lot of mess to clear up (and likely an unusual insurance claim to make).
The whereabouts of the goat are unknown, though it can be seen trotting away happily from the scene of the crime at the end of the video.

It has been used as a signalling station for nearly 150 years, but now the last railway box in Northern Ireland is set to be demolished.

Staff at Castlerock used bells, levers and mechanical frames to keep trains on track between Londonderry and Coleraine.
Computerised signalling technology will replace the Victorian model this week.
Once there were thousands of signal boxes at stations across the UK but now the future looks very different.
Kevin Brown worked in the signal box in Castlerock for more than 20 years.
He said it would be a sad farewell.
"It's the end of an era and it's going to be very emotional to go. For 20-odd years she's been my life, she's been my baby, my cabin," he said.
"Each lever operates a signal or a set of points and this is the exact same way it would have been done in Victorian times.
"It's very emotional because I've got the privilege of being the last man out to lock up. I walk away from the cabin and that's me finished as a signaller for Castlerock."
The railway signal box has been in existence since the late 19th century, although the original signal box was replaced in the 1970s.
The Victorian station buildings were designed by the famous architect John Lanyon in 1874.
While the wrought iron footbridge has moved around over the years, it remains a part of the landscape.
"The signal cabin's role is to safely move trains between Londonderry and Coleraine.
"It does that via semaphore signals, which you can see up on poles, and also via token exchange which are metal tokens handed out to trains to allow them to move into the sections," said Richard Knox, head of network operations for NI railways.
"It is very much the old school way -  the gentleman in the signal cabin, through a process of levers and token machines, allows the trains to travel through the station - so he physically pulls levers.
"What's going to change is that is the major capital project to re-signal the whole line between Coleraine and Londonderry," Mr Knox added.
The entire rail network in the north west is being modernised with new signalling and a new passing loop for trains at a cost of Â£46m.
Mr Brown said he accepts that times are changing and he will retire at the end of his shift on Thursday night.
"I've had so many good times in the cabin," he said. "One of my highlights is when I first arrived here and I started training with a very old signal man called Neville McCorkell."
"The first time I walked in here, he told me: "Son, whatever you do, no matter where you go, always treat the frame with respect. Love her, because she will kick back at ya."
"Life moves on and we've got to move forward and we've got to come into the 21st century," Mr Brown added.


A heatwave in Spain and Portugal has triggered alerts across the region, with temperatures soaring above 40C and warnings of risks to residents' health.

Warnings have been issued in more than 40 provinces in Spain, with a red alert for the southern city of Cordoba.
Neighbouring Portugal has also placed four regions on an orange alert, the second highest level possible.
Both countries have warned that the searing heat will substantially increase the risk of forest fires.
Nearly all of Spain faced an "extreme" or high risk of forest fires on Monday.
"These are not usual meteorological phenomena," said a spokesperson of the country's national weather office, as quoted by the AFP news agency.
They warned that the exceptional temperatures posed "a very high level of risk for the population".
The Spanish cities of Cordoba, Seville and Toledo were some of the worst affected on Monday. Temperatures were expected to reach up to 44C in some areas.
In Seville, some people jumped off bridge to swim in the city's Guadalquivir river to try and escape the heat, according to AFP.
Spain's Guardia Civil urged people to drink at least three litres (five pints) of water a day and to avoid eating hot meals.
The heatwave is expected to spread, prompting concern in France and in the UK.
In 2003, a heatwave led to 70,000 more deaths than usual across Europe.
"I don't think this heatwave will have the same consequences as the one in 2003 because we weren't as prepared at that time," said French Ecology Minister Segolene Royal.
The high temperatures are expected to last at least until the end of the week.
The body's normal core temperature is 37-38C.
If it heats up to 39-40C, the brain tells the muscles to slow down and fatigue sets in. At 40-41C heat exhaustion is likely - and above 41C the body starts to shut down.
Chemical processes start to be affected, the cells inside the body deteriorate and there is a risk of multiple organ failure.
The body cannot even sweat at this point because blood flow to the skin stops, making it feel cold and clammy.
Heatstroke - which can occur at any temperature over 40C - requires professional medical help and if not treated immediately, chances of survival can be slim.
There are a number of things people can do to help themselves. These include:

Police have arrested two people on suspicion of murder after a man's body was found on moorland.

Craig Nelson, who was also known as Craig Preston, was found at the Woodhead Tunnels off the A628 in Derbyshire at 11:00 BST on Monday.
A post-mortem found the 34-year-old from Wath-Upon-Dearn in Rotherham died as a result of head injuries.
A man, 41, and a woman, 23, were arrested in Sheffield by South Yorkshire Police and remain in custody.


Eighteen-time major winner Roger Federer will sit out the French Open and the rest of the clay-court season.

The 35-year-old, fifth in the world rankings, says he made the decision in an attempt to continue playing on the ATP Tour "for many years to come".
The Swiss added he will now prepare for the grass and hard-court seasons, which begin in June.
"I need to recognise that scheduling will be the key to my longevity," he said.
"Thus, my team and I concluded that playing just one event on clay was not in the best interest of my tennis and physical preparation for the remainder of the season.
"I will miss the French fans, who have always been so supportive and I look forward to seeing them at Roland Garros next year."
Federer missed last year's French Open through injury - the first time he did not compete in Paris since his debut in 1999.
He won the tournament for the only time in 2009 and is a four-time runner-up.
Federer has won three titles so far this season, including the Australian Open - his first Grand Slam success in five years.
He also claimed the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells in March and, two weeks later, won the Miami Open.
The French Open begins on 28 May.
Former Olympic champion Marc Rosset backed his compatriot, saying it was a matter of Federer prioritising tournaments he can win.
"The chances of him winning on clay at the French Open were quite low," Rosset told the BBC's World Service.
"Roger is the kind of guy who goes to a tournament to win. If he doesn't feel he is capable of winning the tournament, I don't see any sense in him attending.
"I don't think it is a matter of age, it is one of priority. He is going to play the two tournaments on grass before Wimbledon."
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
Federer was in such devastating form in the first three months of the year that an eighth Wimbledon title seems very much within his grasp. Trying to win a clay-court Grand Slam at the age of nearly 36 without playing any other tournament to prepare would surely have been beyond even him, and I say that with memories of Australia still very vivid.
Federer is talking like a man who would still love to be competing at 40, and to do so the clay-court season may need to become a permanent casualty.
I suspect he will want to play Roland Garros at least once more before he is done, and he says he looks forward to returning next year.
But he did say exactly the same thing 12 months ago when making a very late withdrawal because of concerns about his back.


Walsall head coach Sean O'Driscoll says they have to be "careful" in their handling of England Under-19 international left-back Rico Henry.

The exciting teenager, 18, has missed the promotion-chasing Saddlers' last two games with an ankle injury.
Henry sat out a 2-1 home loss to Wigan Athetic before 'tweaking' the injury which left him benched for Saturday's goalless draw at leaders Burton Albion.
"He's had problems with his ankle since I've been here," said O'Driscoll.
"We've just got to be careful with him. He trained on Thursday, then he trained on Friday and tweaked his ankle again, which is why we had to pull him out of the previous game. And you've got to train to play."
Although frustrated by a run of one win in six league games, and no wins at home in four this year, which has seen the Saddlers drop six points behind top spot, O'Driscoll remains patient.
And he insists that making unnecessary loan signings would fly in the face of the home-grown philosophy developed under previous boss Dean Smith.
"Rico's got a fantastic future," added O'Driscoll. "He's got a great attitude. He plays with no fear. It's part of his development. He's been allowed to play.
"There's one or two others here who, at another club, would have been left by the wayside, but here they get a chance. That's the ethos of the club. Loading us with three or four loan players would be throwing that philosophy out of the window."
Henry has been watched by a lot of clubs this season and is reportedly a target for both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
O'Driscoll also highlighted Saddlers skipper Adam Chambers, who is still going strong at the age of 35 in his 15th season as a professional, as an inspiration to Henry and the promising young players at Bescot.
"Do the right things," he said. "It doesn't matter whether you're 18, 28 or 38. Adam Chambers is a great example of someone who does the right things.
"It doesn't matter what their age is. Sometimes, they just don't know what those right things are, but the sooner that it gets embedded the better.
"Don't wait until 28 then suddenly find out. A lot of players do and suddenly think I'd better look after myself."


Russian search giant Yandex has had its Kiev and Odessa offices raided by Ukraine's State Security Service (SBU).

The raids were part of a treason investigation seeking to discover whether Ukrainian users' data had been illegally collected and distributed to Russian security agencies.
Yandex, which says it has 11 million users in Ukraine, denies doing so.
The Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, announced sanctions against the firm earlier this month.
He said Ukrainian ISPs should stop providing access to Yandex and other Russian services.
On 29 May, the SBU released a statement accusing the company of transmitting Ukrainians' personal data - including addresses, phone numbers and emails - to Russia.
"The information was passed to the [Russian Federation] special services for planning, organisation and conducting of intelligence, subversive, informational operations in our country against [the] sovereignty of Ukraine, [its] territorial integrity and inviolability," the statement said.
Yandex confirmed in a statement that its offices had been raided.
"SBU is accusing management and employees of Yandex.Ukraine of gathering personal data of Ukrainian users and transmitting it to Russian security forces," it said.
"Neither our employees in Ukraine nor management of Yandex. Ukraine have access to personal data of Yandex users."
It added that the company had "always fiercely protected" users' data privacy: "The allegations that our employees were transmitting personal data to Russian security forces have no merit."
In a separate case in 2011, Yandex confirmed that it had passed confidential data to Russia's state security service, the FSB.


Michael Laudrup says Swansea's FA Cup win at Manchester United meant more to the players and fans than it did to him.

The Swans won for the first time at Old Trafford thanks to Wilfried Bony's 90th-minute header against 10-man United.
Laudrup, who played for Barcelona, says he is happy but would prefer Premier League points.
"The only thing that makes it special for me is I know how special it is for the fans and players," said Laudrup.
"But for me, I always said I'd rather win against Crystal Palace or West Ham or Stoke or Norwich or a side who are on more or less the same points as us.
"For me it's great because it's great for the players and the fans but if you ask me separately just for me, no, nothing special."
Swansea stunned the Old Trafford crowd by taking the lead against United through Wayne Routledge before Javier Hernandez's equaliser.
The Swans had previously played Manchester United at Old Trafford 10 times, with the first fixture back in 1931. However, they had never won and had drawn just twice, most recently in 1934.
With just 10 minutes left United's Fabio Da Silva was shown the red card for scything down Jose Canas.
Bony headed in Routledge's cross to end a run of seven games without a win for the Swans.
Swansea will now play against either Birmingham, Bristol Rovers or Crawley Town in the fourth round.
It's the fifth time David Moyes's side have lost at home this season after suffering Premier League defeats against West Bromwich Albion,Everton,Newcastle United and Tottenham.
The Red Devils host the Swans again in the Premier League on Saturday.
In the build-up to the game, Laudrup called for FA Cup replays to be scrapped and said his side were more attack-minded as a result.
"I wanted to avoid a replay so I wanted to risk a little to go for the game," said Laudrup.
"After they equalised they had 10-15 minutes where they had a couple of chances and put us under pressure.
"But apart from that I didn't get the feeling that it was going to be a really long afternoon.
"We looked comfortable even at 11 against 11 and I thought we had a chance. Then after the sending off I added one more striker to go for the game."


An exhibition celebrating the rise of pop sensation ABBA will open at the Southbank Centre.

It will feature unseen archive material including original costumes, handwritten notes and sketches and personal photographs.
The exhibition will show the socio-political situation in the 1970s and how ABBA rose to fame during "quite a grim time for the UK", producers say.
ABBA Super Troupers will run from 14 December to 29 April.
Paul Denton, producer at the Southbank Centre, said: "We're looking at what was special about ABBA and why they rose to prominence.
"During the 1970s there was a three-day working week, a hung parliament and economically Britain was quite poor. ABBA were seen as quite exotic creatures from Sweden.
"Obviously their music is what carried them through, their music caught the hearts and imagination of people."


The Duchess of Cambridge has launched a £10m fundraising drive to build a new children's hospice in Norfolk.

East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) - which has the duchess as its royal patron - hopes to build the new facility near Norwich.
The planned hospice at Framingham Pigot will replace its existing Norfolk hospice at Quidenham.
The Quidenham hospice is 23 years old and one of the oldest in the UK, with restricted facilities.
Planning permission for the new hospice was granted in June, but funds need to be raised before building work can begin.
The duchess, who arrived at the Royal Norfolk Showground at midday, heard about the importance of the charity from staff and families during her visit.
Graham Butland, chief executive of EACH, said: "It's tremendous to have the support of our royal patron as we start on a long journey to raise a significant sum of money.
"The increasing complexity of the children that we are dealing with means that we really need a modern hospice in Norfolk for the 21st Century."
The new hospice will include a hydrotherapy pool and improved accommodation and play areas.
It is due to be built on a five-acre (two-hectare) woodland plot south of Norwich.
EACH runs other hospices in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk as well as offering services in Essex.


A police officer who defied the odds and returned to work 18 months after suffering from locked-in syndrome said it was a moment she had dreamed of.

Clodagh Dunlop, of Magherafelt, County Londonderry, had a massive stroke in April 2015 which left her unable to move or speak for nearly three months.
She said it felt great to get back to day-to-day policing.
"It felt like my head had come above water - I took a gasp and was able to breathe again," she said.
"It was nice to see colleagues that I knew and talk about what I'm going to do in the future, what job roles I'm going to have.
"I do know that I've changed a lot - in that I think I'm a lot more easy-going, a lot more positive and I feel a lot different to maybe how I used to be in the job.
"I think I've probably learnt a lot more patience."
She said the emotion of the day did not hit her like she had expected.
"Surprisingly it wasn't emotional, I thought it was going to be," Clodagh said.
"I had a little tear last night, I was a little bit nervous, but today I didn't feel at all emotional or nervous, just a real sense of happiness."
Locked-in syndrome is a condition whereby a patient is both conscious and aware, but completely paralysed and unable to speak.
They are usually able to move their eyes and are sometimes able to communicate by blinking.
There is no treatment or cure, and it is extremely rare for patients to recover any significant motor functions.
Clodagh said she now had one goal left to fulfil.
"There was always three things I really wanted to do in my recovery," she said.
"I wanted to be able to learn to drive again, I wanted to return to work and I wanted to run again.
"I've got two of the three goals now, so I'm going to work very hard, no matter how long it takes."
Her first day back in the job was hailed as a "momentous day" by her PSNI colleagues.
PSNI Foyle said she was a "true inspiration" and had kept her "infectious smile" throughout.
On its Facebook page, the force said she would "now be playing a meaningful role keeping people safe in Derry and Strabane, with a particular focus on drugs".
Clodagh started showing signs of recovery on her birthday in May last year, and walked out of Belfast's Musgrave Park Hospital in November.
She had previously told the BBC what it was like being a "prisoner in your own body".
"I have been in a lot of situations that people would consider frightening - I have jumped out of an plane, been in public order situations as a police officer," she said.
"Just lying in ICU unable to speak is perhaps one of the most terrifying experiences of my life."


A security researcher has reported finding a way to hijack a high-end drone, using parts costing as little as $40 (£29).

The expert says it is possible to start the octocopter's engines, engage auto-takeoff, control its camera and, potentially, crash the machine.
He will present his findings at the RSA security conference in San Francisco, and has published a thesis.
The drone's manufacturer has been informed.
However, the researcher told Wired magazine there would be "no easy fix" to the problem, meaning units might have to be recalled for a hardware update.
Nils Rodday is currently a security consultant at IBM, but carried out his research at the Netherlands' University of Twente.
His work focused on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used by the Dutch police force for surveillance.
He said it cost about 20,000 euros ($21,700; £15,400).
It is more expensive than consumer drones because it:
The UAV is also used for power-line inspections, professional photography and agriculture applications
The aircraft's maker lent Mr Rodday a copy of its machine on condition its name was not disclosed.
Mr Rodday focused on its use of a telemetry module fitted with an Xbee radio chip, made by the company Digi International.
The module converts wi-fi commands sent by a computer app into low frequency radio waves, which are then transmitted to another Xbee chip on the drone.
This allows the operator to control it from a greater distance than would otherwise be possible.
To achieve the hack, Mr Rodday required two Xbee chips of his own, among other low-cost components, as well as the use of a computer.
The hack consisted of two parts:
The second step had been relatively easy, Mr Rodday said, because the drone-maker had opted not to make use of Xbee's built-in encryption features.
The reason for this was that they would have extended the lag between the operator sending a command and the drone reacting.
"The whole communication is sent in clear text," wrote Mr Rodday in his thesis.
"As long as the arriving data is syntactically and semantically correct, the data is forwarded to the application."
Countermeasures were possible to prevent such attacks, he added, but they would "require better hardware, which leads to increased production cost".
The drone manufacturer intends to fix the problem when it releases its next-generation model.
But Mr Rodday believes other similar high-end aircraft may also face the same issue.
To raise awareness, he intends to hack a drone on stage at the RSA.
"[I] will make the UAV engine's spin, so the UAV will have to be tied to something heavy during the presentation," he said.
Another expert, who has previously spoken out about the risks that drones pose, said he was concerned.
"That a engineering student could demonstrate how to hack and take control of a larger commercial UAV as part of his masters degree shows both the infancy of this technology and the potential risks presented by the proliferation of these devices," said Prof David Dunn, from the University of Birmingham.
"As this report shows, drones such as this can be commandeered [and] then be stolen, or redirected to crash into a specific target such as a crowd, building or airliner.
"This report, however, raises the more general issue of the risks presented by the development of a new technology, the use of which is way ahead of preparations to regulate, deter, or defend against its potentially malign uses."

Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg will take charge of Sunday's Euro 2016 final between France and Portugal.

Clattenburg will officiate at the Stade de France six weeks after refereeing Real Madrid's Champions League final win over Atletico Madrid in Milan.
The 41-year-old Englishman also took charge of the FA Cup final at Wembley on 21 May when Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 2-1.
Hosts France beat Germany 2-0 on Thursday to reach the final.
Clattenburg will be joined by assistant referees Simon Beck and Jake Collin and additional assistants Anthony Taylor and Andre Marriner.


The government of the southern Indian state of Karnataka has appealed against a verdict clearing popular politician Jayalalitha Jayaram of corruption.

The high court order in May allowed her to return as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu state.
She had to step down after a trial court found her guilty of amassing wealth of more than $10m (??6.4m)
The case was heard in Karnataka because of concerns the process would not be fair in Tamil Nadu.
On Tuesday, the Karnataka government lodged an appeal in the Supreme Court asking it to set aside the high court verdict and restore Ms Jayalalitha's disqualification.
The Supreme court is expected to hear the appeal only after the end of court vacations in a few weeks.
Karnataka's special public prosecutor, BV Acharya, had told BBC Hindi soon after Ms Jayalalitha's acquittal on 11 May that the high court verdict was riddled with "arithmetical errors'" and alleged that the prosecution was not given an opportunity to present its case.
In overturning the guilty verdict against Ms Jayalalitha, the appeals court had said that the "disproportionate assets" owned by the Tamil Nadu chief minister were less than 10% of her total wealth and were, therefore, not irregular.
Mr Acharya contends that the appeals court got its figures entirely wrong.
He claims that instead of adding up Ms Jayalalitha's assets to 240m rupees ($3.8m; ??2.4m), the judgement had wrongly put the figure at 100m rupees.
Similar discrepancies had been pointed out in evaluating her properties, he adds.
Jayalalitha, a former actress, is one of India's most controversial and colourful politicians. She has been a leading figure in south Indian politics for three decades.


A "Midlands powerhouse" could be created through a combined authority plan, according to councillors.

7 November 2014 Last updated at 11:19 GMT
Birmingham, Walsall, Sandwell, Wolverhampton and Dudley authorities have announced plans for a new alliance, which will serve 3.4 million people.
Sandwell Council leader Darren Cooper said he was trying to persuade Solihull and Coventry authorities to join the "super council" for the Midlands.
Speaking about the proposals, he said the plan was to create "a tier over the separate councils with a link to government" with "no extra cost and no extra politicians".


Earlier this week, MLAs passed legislation that will reduce their numbers to five per constituency.

But as the official report of their debate shows, they were somewhat in the dark about what this would mean for the future overall size of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
The politicians exchanged estimates that varied from a 75-strong chamber to one with 90 legislators.
The day after the debate we got a bit more certainty, with the Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland announcing a new review that will reduce the number of parliamentary seats from 18 to 17.
That was a bit of a surprise because the commission is engaged on the same job it began back in 2011, namely to cut the overall number of MPs in the House of Commons from 650 to 600.
However, last time that meant Northern Ireland was projected to lose two parliamentary seats, not one.
The last review suggested cutting one of Belfast's four seats and another on the north coast.
The Social Democratic and Labour Party's Alasdair McDonnell in South Belfast and Gregory Campbell of the Democratic Unionist Party in East Londonderry were seen as potentially losing out.
But that review was aborted due to a fall-out between the Conservative Party and Liberal Democrats in the old Westminster coalition.
Now the Conservatives are beginning the same exercise again.
But a Boundary Commission source indicates the electoral maths has changed.
The electorate in Great Britain has reduced while the number of voters in Northern Ireland has increased, which is why we are losing only one seat.
Where the axe will fall is not clear.
The new commission may draw on the detailed work done in the last aborted review.
But since then we have adopted a new council structure, and, with a 17-seat model to create, the new team is working from a clean slate.
During this week's debate, the independent unionist MLA John McCallister mused about the possibility of Stormont introducing a "top-up list" in addition to its constituency MLAs.
But assuming this idea does not gain traction, we are now on course for an 85-member assembly in 2021, based on five MLAs representing each of the new 17 constituencies.


Older people in England are being left "high and dry" by councils cutting back on the care they provide, Age UK says.

Research by the charity showed the numbers getting help had fallen from just over one million three years ago to 850,000 last year.
Age UK said the cuts were one of the major causes behind the growing pressures on A&E units.
But councils said they had been left with little choice because they were "chronically underfunded".
The overall cut in numbers getting help from councils represents a drop of one-fifth.
But the research - based on an analysis of official figures - also provided a detailed breakdown of which individual services had been cut.
It found between 2010-11 and 2013-14:
Age UK director Caroline Abrahams said: "Our state-funded social care system is in calamitous, quite rapid decline.
"The more preventive services like meals on wheels and day care are being especially hard hit, leaving the system increasingly the preserve of older people in the most acute need, storing up big problems for the future.
"Hundreds of thousands of older people who need social care are being left high and dry. The lucky ones have sufficient funds to buy in some support, or can rely on the goodwill of family, neighbours and friends. But there are many who are being left to struggle on entirely alone."
Previous research by the charity has shown there are nearly 900,000 people who do not get any help for their care needs.
"Until recently the impact of the decline in social care has been relatively hidden, but social care is a crucial pressure valve for the NHS and the evidence of what happens when it is too weak to fulfil that function is clear for us all to see," Ms Abrahams added.
Over the past three months waiting times in A&E units have reached their worst level for a decade with hospitals reporting they are experiencing particular problems trying to discharge old and frail patients because of the lack of support available in the community.
Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said the system was "chronically underfunded".
"Councils have protected our most vulnerable people as far as possible, often at the expense of other services, and we will continue to prioritise those most in need.
"However, the combined pressures of insufficient funding, growing demand, escalating costs and a 40% cut to local government budgets across this parliament mean that despite councils' best efforts they are having to make tough decisions about the care services they can provide."
But a Department of Health spokeswoman said the April launch of the Better Care Fund - a Â£5.3bn pot predominantly funded from the NHS to encourage greater integration between health and care - would help.
"We know we need to work differently to respond to our growing ageing population."
She added the fund would "focus resources on helping people to live independently, which will save money and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions".


The Belfast Giants ended a four-game losing sequence by coming from behind to beat the Dundee Stars at the SSE Arena on Tuesday night.

It leaves the Giants still fifth in the Elite League table, 11 points behind leaders, the Cardiff Devils.
Belfast's Mike Radja, Mike Forney, Brandon Benedict, Jonathan Boxill, Chris Higgins and Kris Beech were on target.
Scott Brannon scored both for the sixth-placed Stars.
The Giants play the Nottingham Panthers in Belfast next in a league clash on Friday night.
The Stars, level on points with Belfast going into the match, stunned their hosts on the very first shift on the ice at the SSE Arena when Brannon scored after just 32 seconds.
But Belfast hit back through leading goal scorer Radja with just under a quarter of an hour played.
Brannon grabbed his second of the night to restore the visitors' lead but the Giants equalised once more when, with the home side shorthanded, Mike Forney was put through one-on-one by player-coach Derrick Walser and coolly slotted the puck past netminder Trevor Koenig for 2-2.
Belfast then took the lead for the first time when Benedict pounced on hesitation from Dundee to finish, unassisted, with the Giants once again shorthanded.
The Giants went on to dominate the final period with Boxill tipping in an Adam Keefe shot before Higgins scored with a wonderful solo effort in which he completed a lap around the Dundee goal before nonchalantly pushing the puck past Koenig.
Beech completed the scoring with the sixth two minutes from the end.


A whale which died on a Suffolk beach is due to be moved on Thursday and its body may be used to help make biofuel.

The fin whale, about 10m (33ft) long and weighing about eight tonnes, washed up at Shingle Street on Sunday.
Suffolk Coastal District Council said the carcass would be taken to be rendered, with the output probably used for biofuel.
Councillor Andrew Nunn said the whale would be "reused, rather than put into landfill, or towed out to sea to rot".
The young whale is believed to have been alive for a short time on land before it perished.
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) was unable to perform a post-mortem examination on the carcass on Tuesday, due to the tide.
Rob Deaville, manager of the cetacean stranding investigation programme for ZSL, said he was still able to take measurements and samples.
"That will give us some information about the animal but just not the detail of information we would have got from a post-mortem," he said.
"These things are logistical nightmares and I have a lot of sympathy with the local authorities with what they can and can't do."
The council has moved the whale slightly so it is in a better position to be taken away by digger on Thursday morning.


Hundreds of migrants face huge debts and a logistical nightmare to repatriate the bodies of loved ones who have died during perilous sea crossings to Europe.

Compounding the trauma of personal loss they face a lonely battle to find and identify husbands, wives and children before trying to bring them home for burial.
Mohammed Nowrouz Noori is an Afghan man in his late 30s but he is already a broken man.
In January this year he set off with his wife Nilufar, son Mohammad and baby daughter Nastaran from the Turkish coast heading for Greece.
"When we were boarding my son said 'Dad I have prayed that we reach to other side safely'," Nowrouz says as he recounts the tragedy at the family home back in Kabul.
"We could see lights from Greece. I reassured him, saying 'tonight is the last night of our troubles'."
But the boat arranged by people smugglers soon got into trouble and capsized.
"In a matter of seconds water was everywhere, filling the boat. It was dark. I lost my children and my wife who had been sitting next to me," Nowrouz says.
At least 39 migrants, including several children drowned that day. Nowrouz was among more than 60 rescued,
What came next was a 12-day struggle to recover the bodies of his loved ones and bring them home for burial.

The untold story of Europe's drowned migrants
Anatomy of a shipwreck
Nowrouz says he received medical treatment in a camp on the Turkish coast where police showed him photos of bodies which had been recovered.
"I saw my family's pictures there," he says. "I saw the photo of my one-year-old daughter, my six-year-old son and my wife who was 25. I lost them."
A police officer asked whether Nowrouz intended to bury his family in Turkey or take them home. After phoning relatives he decided the family should be buried in Kabul.
The next day a minibus took Nowrouz and other survivors to Istanbul where he turned to the Afghan consulate for help.
"They said that I have to repatriate the bodies myself," he says.
At the Afghan consulate in Istanbul, Zia Zaki is one of those trying to cope with the fallout from the migrant crisis.
"We have assembled a team of three people to deal specifically with refugee issues," he says as he sifts through piles of documents.
"In the last incident I attended there where 25 Afghans who lost their lives at sea. I saw a child's body in the cold room.
"I have my own small child. I tried to stay strong because it was my job to be there and identify the bodies. But when I returned home I looked at my child and I cried."
Nowrouz spent days calling relatives back home. "I had to borrow money to repatriate my family back to Afghanistan," he says.
The consulate told Nowrouz that the bodies of his wife and children were kept in Bursa, a town 300km (187 miles) inland from where the accident happened.
He hired a car for the four-hour drive, leaving in the middle of the night. He also booked flights to Kabul for the following evening.
But once in Bursa, he could find only the bodies of his wife and son; his baby daughter was missing. With flights arranged he had little choice but to leave her behind to be buried in one of Bursa's cemeteries.
At Bursa's Kent cemetery, Imam Neshet Kaya performs the funeral rites for deceased migrants.
"I just buried a child who has no name and we don't know who he was," he says. "He was buried here surrounded by me and a few cemetery workers. Today we are his brother, sister and his family."
Whether he buried Nowrouz's daughter here is impossible to know.
Many of the migrant victims are Muslim and the imam says he makes sure they are buried properly.
"We go to hospital to pick up the body and bring it here to perform the Islamic rituals, washing them and wrapping them in a shroud," he says.  "Later we perform the prayers at the mosque."
The cemetery keeps records of each grave together with available documents, photos or DNA records to allow possible identification and exhumation if a body is claimed at a later date.
For Afghans taking a body home means travelling by air.
In Bursa, Mr Nowrouz bought coffins for his wife and son, hired an ambulance and headed back to Ataturk airport for the flight to Kabul.
At Istanbul airport, Sohila Shalizai runs the office of Afghanistan's Ariana airline - the tragedy of migrants' deaths has become overwhelming here too.
"Lately we have been carrying at least two or three, even up to seven bodies on each flight," Ms Rizi says. "Sometimes we can't cope with the numbers of bodies that come to us and we have refer people to Turkish airlines. Sometimes most of our cargo is coffins."
Her colleague, Khan Mohamad, says the airline has transported 70 bodies back to Afghanistan over the last 12 months.
"I just returned from customs where I have processed another coffin which came from Izmir."
Sometimes, Mohamad says, families don't have the money. "They lose it all when they capsize or the smugglers take it. Last time we sent four bodies to Afghanistan and the relatives still need to pay."
Nilufar and Mohammad were buried the day they arrived back in Kabul. But even in grief the family is not united.
"I wanted to bring my daughter's body to Afghanistan too", Nowrouz says, "but because the whole process took so long I couldn't find her."
Compounding the heartbreak of losing his family, he now has debts to worry about as well.
Having borrowed $8,500 to cover the costs of the ordeal, Nowrouz has been left bankrupt by a journey that already cost him everything.

Three men arrested on suspicion of murdering a man who collapsed at a police station while reporting a burglary have been bailed.

Laurence French collapsed at Middlesbrough police station on Wednesday and later died in hospital.
Police believe the 50-year-old's home in Alwent Road had been burgled.
The bailed men, aged 39, 40 and 42, were also being held on suspicion of aggravated burglary.
A fourth man, aged 66, who was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods, has also been bailed.
Following Mr French's death a post mortem examination was carried out but the results have not been released for what Cleveland Police has described as operational reasons.


WPP chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell has defended his pay package worth up to £70m.

Sir Martin, who has previously faced shareholder revolts over his pay, said he was "not embarrassed" by the success of the company he founded.
He said his pay was based on the performance of WPP, the world's largest advertising group.
His comments came as WPP reported a 5.1% increase in quarterly revenues to £3.1bn compared with last year.
Sir Martin told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I'm not embarrassed about the growth of the company from two people in one room in Lincoln's Inn Fields in 1985 to 190,000 people in 112 countries and a leadership position in our industry, which I think is important."
Meanwhile, Royal London Asset Management said on Thursday it would vote against the 2015 remuneration reports at Standard Chartered and Reckitt Benckiser.
Ashley Hamilton Claxton, corporate governance manager at Royal London, said investors were objecting to plans to award bumper packages in the face of underwhelming performance.
Profile: Sir Martin Sorrell
Sir Martin's pay has previously sparked controversy at WPP, with nearly 60% of shareholders voting against his proposed remuneration package, worth £6.8m, in 2012.
His latest package makes him the best-paid chief executive on the FTSE 100, with much of the £70m payment consisting of a £62.8m long-term bonus.
Sir Martin's annual salary was £1.15m, with the rest consisting of short-term bonuses and other benefits.
WPP, which employs about 190,000 people worldwide, has expanded rapidly in recent years. It brought in $1.8bn worth of revenue from new advertising customers in the first three months of this year.
Growth has been particularly pronounced in the US, UK and western Europe, the company said.
Shareholders of other companies have also expressed anger about executive pay.
On Thursday, 72% of shareholders of engineering firm Weir Group voted against the firm's pay policy.
The company's board now intends to discuss alternative plans with shareholders.
Also on Thursday, 49% of investors at Shire voted against a 25% pay increase for chief executive Flemming Ornskov.
Last month 59% of BP shareholders voted against a 20% pay rise for chief executive Bob Dudley, that would have netted him £14m.
The vote against the increase was non-binding, but BP's chairman said at the annual meeting that the sentiment would be reflected in future pay deals.
Last week, Anglo American said it would be "mindful" of concerns about executive pay after more than two fifths of investors voted against a remuneration deal that included £3.4m for chief executive Mark Cutifani.
During the financial crisis, 90% of shareholders at Royal Bank of Scotland rebelled against then chief executive Fred Goodwin's pension package.


Labour has admitted a mistake was made after a poster featuring the wrong election candidate was put up in Carlisle.

The large billboard on Warwick Road urged electors to vote for Cat Smith - Labour's candidate for Lancaster and Fleetwood, 70 miles away.
Labour's candidate for Carlisle is Lee Sherriff.
A Labour spokesman said the advertising company working for the Lancaster party branch had made the error.
The spokesman said: "This has now been removed. Carlisle Labour Party campaign were not involved in any way."
The candidates for the Carlisle constituency are:

Police searching for a missing man in Aberdeen have found a body.

George Monteith, 59, was last seen at his home in the Tillydrone area of the city on Thursday.
Formal identification of the body has still to take place but the family of Mr Monteith have been informed.
The death is currently being treated as unexplained and inquiries are continuing. A spokesman for Police Scotland said a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.


Barnsley have signed Worcester City full-back George Williams on an 18-month deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old steps up to League One after helping Conference North side City reach the second round of this season's FA Cup.
"It hasn't really sunk in to be honest. I'm absolutely delighted to be here," Williams told the club website.
"I only heard about the interest a couple of days ago and now I'm here, so it's been a bit of a whirlwind."
After beating League One Coventry City 2-1 at the Ricoh Arena, Worcester narrowly failed to make the third round.
After drawing 1-1 at Scunthorpe United, they lost their second round replay at Aggborough on penalties, after an epic, record-breaking, shootout.

Hundreds of thousands of consumers in arrears on mortgage payments may be eligible for compensation, after a ruling by the regulator.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has ordered lenders to work out who is affected, and how much they are owed.
The problem has arisen where mortgage arrears have been automatically included in regular monthly payments.
That has left some customers paying higher mortgage payments than they should have been.
As many as 750,000 consumers may have been affected overall, but not everyone will be entitled to compensation.
On average, those who are eligible for payments will receive redress "in the low hundreds" of pounds, the FCA said.
In 2014, a High Court judge in Northern Ireland criticised the Bank of Scotland for double-charging mortgage customers who were in arrears.
Master Ellison said the bank's behaviour had been "unconscionable".
The practice of recalculating mortgage payments to include any outstanding arrears is known as "automatic capitalisation".
In effect it means that some customers may have been paying twice for going into arrears: Once through higher monthly mortgage payments, and once through separate payments to clear the outstanding debt.
In the long run such customers would not necessarily have lost out, as they would have paid off their mortgages faster.
Six years ago the then Financial Services Authority (FSA) said automatic capitalisation should not be allowed when there was a negative impact on customers.
"Even if inadvertent, automatic capitalisation of arrears can lead to poor customer outcomes and firms need to put this right, and make sure the practice stops," said Jonathan Davidson, the FCA's director of supervision for retail and authorisations.
"Customers do not have to take any action at this stage, as firms will contact them directly.  Firms should start identifying affected customers immediately and not wait until the finalised guidance is published."
The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said banks and building societies had always been transparent in their charging methods.
"Those lenders who used the arrears calculation methodology now identified as problematic did so in good faith, believing that they complied with the rules and were acting in customer interests," said Paul Smee, the CML's director general.


A private box at the Royal Albert Hall has been put up for sale for £550,000.

The box, which can seat five people, is located on the second tier of the Grade I listed building in Kensington, central London, which opened in 1871.
The private box is the only remaining one in the hall to retain the original timber veneer and mirrored panels, estate agent Harrods Estates said.
Earl Spencer and the Duke of Devonshire have previously owned the box, but the current owner has not been revealed.
The box is located on the eastern side of the auditorium and has about 865 years remaining on the lease.
When the building was being constructed in the 19th Century, several seats were offered for sale to private individuals on a 999-year lease.
Queen Victoria bought 20 of the 1,300 privately-owned seats for £100 each, in addition to the Queen's box.
The seats and the box, located on the Grand Tier, are still owned by the monarchy.
Shirley Humphrey, sales and marketing director for Harrods Estates, said: "The boxes at the Royal Albert Hall are extremely rare, and those with original features are even rarer, so we anticipate to receive a high level of interest."
The estate agent said it had sold other private boxes in the past, including a 10-seater Grand Tier box - one of the largest at Royal Albert Hall - for £1.2m in June 2008.


A GP said she hopes a UK-wide campaign to recruit medical students into the profession will ease pressure on doctors' practices in Wales.

Dr Rebecca Payne said there is a particular problem in north Wales with GPs getting older and fewer younger doctors taking over.
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) is launching a recruitment film to trigger a change.
The Welsh government says an extra £10m is being spent on primary care.
RCGP Wales spokeswoman Dr Payne, who teaches medical students at Cardiff University and works as a GP for an out of hours service in north Wales, said it is hard to know exactly how many more GPs are needed in Wales.
"Patients are telling us they are struggling to get appointments and we are working harder and harder," she said.
The Welsh government said, overall, GP numbers in Wales have increased by 11% between 2003 and 2013.
But the RCGP reckons more GPs will be needed across the UK as the aging population continues to grow.
Its film aims to "tackle media stereotypes of general practice as less stimulating and exciting than other medical careers".
Meanwhile, Health Minister Mark Drakeford has announced that an extra £6m will be spent over the next year to help healthcare professionals and free up GP time look after people with more complex needs. Another £4m will be spent on improving access to community care.
In all, 64 primary care "clusters" have been set up across Wales of GP practices working with pharmacists, dentists, optometrists, therapists, nurses and healthcare workers.
They will run a primary care support team to provide locum cover or offer training and advice to manage local service pressures among other things.
"We are shifting focus from hospital-based care to improving population health and community-based care," said Mr Drakeford.


Police are visiting every school in Wales to warn pupils of the dangers of "sexting".

As well as cutting down on cyberbullying, there are fears young people do not know they could be breaking the law by sending sexual images.
It comes as Safer Internet Day is highlighting online safety.
A new survey found 30% of 11-16-year-olds experienced unkind online behaviour in the last year.
And 75% of youngsters blocked someone.
The ResearchBods study also looked at how much time young people were spending online, with 55% saying they interacted with their closest friends several times an hour.
Police have started warning teenagers of the legal aspects of what they text - and aim to have visited all schools by the end of the year with the "Think Before You Click" message.
One of those going into schools is PC Richard Norris, of South Wales Police.
He said sharing explicit material can be an offence in itself, even if you are not the originator.
"One click can have a massive impact," he said.
"The knock on effect it has with jobs, career, the embarrassment or even to the extent of someone hurting themselves over it. We want to reduce and stop this."
The NSPCC has a Share Aware campaign aimed at parents of eight to 12 year olds.
The children's charity says its own survey in 2013 found 40% of teenagers had created a sexual image or video.
Meanwhile, pupils, teachers and parents are meeting politicians at the Senedd to push for online safety to be taught in schools.
The Welsh government has also organised e-safety awareness raising activities in schools across Wales
First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "While we actively encourage young people to embrace the internet's huge potential, it's vitally important they are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to do it safely and responsibly."
"The research we did recently, which is in my book, found that kids aged 9-12 and then 13-17 don't quite understand where they cross the line from jokes and flirty fun when sexting or distributing intimate images to where they are actually breaking the law.
"It's everybody's responsibility. If it involves classmates there's an obligation to the school but it's important that parents are involved.
"We need to start looking at the bigger picture and to look at rape culture, to look more deeply at the roots of cyber bullying and sexting.
"Research has always focused on children's behaviour online but we need to look at the systemic forms of misogyny, homophobia and discrimination - these are the forms that sexting and cyberbullying are rooted in and adults are the worst models of this.
"Until we address what adults are doing we really can't blame the kids for copying us."


Search teams looking for the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 think they have stumbled across a 19th-Century shipwreck.

Underwater sonar equipment turned up a strange object more than two miles beneath the waves just before Christmas.
Earlier this month they sent down an unmanned submarine to take a picture.
Experts at the Western Australian Museum think it is a 19th-century ship made of metal.
This is the second uncharted shipwreck found miles beneath the waves during the search for the missing plane.
Last year, investigators released ghostly images of man-made debris scattered along the sea floor, including what is clearly an old anchor.
The hunt for MH370 no longer makes headlines, but what some have described as the most complex search in history has continued for almost two years.
Three ships are methodically combing the belly of the southern Indian Ocean. Before this search, scientists knew more about the surface of the moon than the bottom of this stretch of water, so it is not surprising that they keep revealing secrets.
Along with the shipwrecks, a number of previously unknown underwater volcanoes have been discovered.
The search teams have now checked two thirds of the 120,000 sq km search zone.
That is an area not much smaller than Greece, so mountainous that it dwarfs the Alps, with weather as hostile as any on earth. Because conditions are so dangerous, the three ships involved travel at walking pace.
The search will conclude later this year and after that the authorities have admitted they will give up unless some debris is found.
They are confident they are looking in the right place after a piece of a wing from MH370 was washed up on an Indian Ocean island thousands of miles away.
Oceanographers have modelled the way the sea would have moved the fragment, and how long it would have taken to reach Reunion island.
They say it all points to the aircraft coming down where they are currently looking, although no-one has any idea why it ended up so far off course.
The plane had 239 people on board and was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March 2014 when air traffic controllers lost contact with it.
Last year Malaysia Airlines appointed Aer Lingus boss Christoph Mueller as chief executive in a bid to revive the ailing company.
In June the airline announced plans to axe 6,000 jobs from its 20,000-strong workforce and abandon unprofitable routes to stem substantial losses.


A prominent 1970s office block in Coventry is being demolished as part of the city's £59m Friargate development.

Copthall House, at the railway station entrance at junction six of the ring road, is being cleared so new Coventry City Council offices can be built.
Lanes on the ring road and Manor Road and  will be closed until Monday. Work on the site is expected to continue into 2015.
A large section of the five-storey block is due to be removed on Sunday.
Work is scheduled for between 05:00 and 09:30 BST. The council said it had planned for the most disruptive work around the station to take place at off-peak times.
Ian Stringer, from site property agents GVA , said the buildings being demolished were "not particularly good brutalist examples".
Councillors will continue to be based at the Grade II-listed council house but will move some departments and administration to Friargate as part of plans to move from 27 council buildings to nine.
Public council services will move to a new "one-stop centre" in Broadgate.
Kevin Maton, cabinet member for business, enterprise and employment said: "The start of demolition on site is an exciting point in the Friargate project. We are witnessing a period of massive change in Coventry."
He said the development had potential to create up to 15,000 jobs.
Twenty-seven new buildings are planned for the site, including offices, hotels, houses and shops, and a new bridge will link the city centre and railway station.
Property agent Mr Stringer said: "Nothing of this style, scale and quality has happened in Coventry for three or four decades. Businesses will want to be there."


Attacks in Aden on a hotel used by Yemen's prime minister and two military installations have killed 15 Saudi-led coalition troops and pro-government fighters, Emirati state media say.

Explosions rocked the Qasr hotel, the headquarters of the UAE's forces in the city and a camp early on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Khaled Bahah and members of his government escaped unharmed.
The UAE blamed rocket-fire from Houthi rebels, but Islamic State (IS) said suicide bombers were responsible.
Jihadist militants have reportedly been seen on the streets of Aden since southern militiamen backed by coalition forces drove the Houthis out of the city in July before advancing northwards and creating a security vacuum.
Yemeni government spokesman Rajeh Badi told the Associated Press that the Qasr hotel in the al-Buraiqa district, the UAE's military headquarters in the nearby palace of Sheikh Farid al-Awlaqi, and a camp where Emirati troops are housed in the al-Shaab district were all hit by rockets fired from outside the city limits.
The prime minister and his ministers were safe and unhurt, he said.
The official Saudi Press Agency also cited a coalition statement blaming rocket fire. Coalition forces had "responded to the source of fire and destroyed the vehicles" used to launch them, it said.
But a statement posted online by a newly formed IS affiliate, Aden-Abyan Province, asserted that it had carried out four suicide attacks, two of them targeting the Qasr hotel.
The local newspaper Aden al-Ghad had earlier cited Yemeni security sources as saying the explosions were the result of car bombings.
The sources said gunmen armed with automatic weapons and mortars had fought guards stationed at the main gate of the Qasr Hotel, before driving an explosives-packed vehicle into the compound and blowing it up.
The attacks on the other two locations also saw gunmen attack before detonating car bombs, the sources added.
Before IS claimed responsibility, the UAE's minister of state for foreign affairs had blamed the attacks on the Houthis and allied army units loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who he claimed were determined to destroy Yemen.
"The situation on the ground shows that they are waging a losing battle and that their role has been diminished to retreating on the ground and to try to inflict damage with mines, ambushes and rockets," Anwar Gargash wrote on Twitter.
The UN says almost 4,900 people, including 2,355 civilians, have been killed in coalition air strikes and fighting on the ground in Yemen over the past six months.

A request by the Scottish government to attend EU steel talks in Brussels has been rejected by the UK government.

Scottish Business Minister Fergus Ewing had asked to take part in the talks, which are being attended by his UK counterpart Sajid Javid.
But Mr Javid said it would not be possible to accommodate Mr Ewing's request.
A UK department of business spokesman said Mr Javid was representing the whole of the UK in his meetings.
Last week, Tata Steel announced it would be mothballing Scotland's last two major steelworks.
The move will see 225 jobs go at the Dalzell plate rolling works in Motherwell, and 45 posts at the Clydebridge plant in Cambuslang.
Tata has also announced the loss of 900 posts at its facility in Scunthorpe, while about 2,200 jobs are to go with the closure of the SSI steelworks at Redcar in Cleveland.
The industry blames cheap Chinese imports and high energy costs for the collapse in steel prices.
In a letter to Mr Ewing, Mr Javid said his officials would brief Scottish government officials on the outcomes of the meetings, which were due to be held on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Javid was expected to raise concerns over unfair steel imports with EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom.
He was also to meet Industry and Internal Market Commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska and Commission Vice President Jyrki Katainen.
The UK Business, Innovation and Skills department spokesman said: "The Secretary of State is representing the whole of the United Kingdom in his meetings with EU representatives today, and will act in the best interests of all nations within it, including Scotland."
But Mr Ewing said it was "deeply disappointing" to be excluded from talks about the steel industry, and pointed out that the Scottish government has been able to attend many other meetings in Brussels.
He added: "The Scottish government asked to attend these key talks because we believe we could have made a very substantial contribution to the discussions representing the affected communities in Scotland."
The first meeting of the task force set up by the Scottish government in the wake of Tata's announcement is to be held in Hamilton on Thursday.
Mr Ewing said: "All of those taking part are aware of the challenges in finding a commercial buyer and protecting as many jobs as possible - but we will not give up on Scotland's steel industry and its workers."
Speaking ahead of the meetings in Brussels, Mr Javid said: "We cannot stand by while the steel industry across Europe, not just in the UK, faces such unprecedented challenges.
"The government wants to work with the EU and our European partners to do all we can to support our steel industry."


Cilla Black was ailing and "willed herself to die", according to a long-time friend.

The star, who had a string of pop hits in the 1960s before presenting TV shows like Blind Date and Surprise Surprise in the '80s, died on Saturday, aged 72.
A book of condolence has been opened in her home city at Liverpool Town Hall.
Childhood friend Terry McCann said Black told him she knew she was going to die and her beloved late husband Bobby Willis was "waiting for me".
A post-mortem examination has been carried out. The results may not be officially published for several days or possibly weeks, but Spanish police have said the indications point towards natural causes.
BBC News correspondent Robert Hall - who is in the resort of Estepona where Black lived - said she was found on her balcony by her son who was staying nearby.
He said paramedics arrived at around 18:00 local time (17:00 BST) but were unable to save her.
Mr McCann said he had seen the star in Spain during the last year.
"I wasn't surprised when I found out she had died," he told BBC News.
"The last thing she said to me was she was going blind, she showed me her hands, she had arthritis," he said. "She willed herself to die. She said, 'Bobby's waiting for me.'
"Her mother went the same way. I don't know what her mother died of but it seemed she associated it with her mother's death and she just knew it was going to happen.
"She just said, 'Look at me, I'm a wreck.' I was trying to cheer her up. She knew something we didn't.
"She knew she was going to die and she said she wasn't going to linger like her mother.
"Her mother was ill for two years and she had the same complaint and she said she was never going to linger like that."
Liverpool City Council say that between 400 and 500 people have so far left messages in a book of condolence at the town hall, where the flag is also flying at half mast. The book will be open to the public until Friday.
Fans signing the book on Monday included:
Sylvia Lewis (above): "Occasionally I used to work on the cloakroom at the Cavern with her. One Saturday, when I wasn't [working], Cilla was the cloakroom girl. When it came to the end of the evening my coat had gone. Cilla had given it away to somebody else! I met Cilla at the Pride of Britain Awards every year and she always used to come up to me and say 'Girl, do you remember your coat? And we never found it, did we?'"
Ann Stalker: "I absolutely love her. She was an icon from my era. I just wanted to pay my respects. I wrote: 'Ta-ra Cilla. You were a credit to us all. Rest in peace.'"
Cheryl McFarlane: "She's somebody I remember so much and love very much. She's got a beautiful family and she was so wonderful to Liverpool. I just wanted to come and visit and say rest in peace."
Since Black's death, tributes have poured in from figures ranging from UK Prime Minister David Cameron to Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr - who knew Black from the Merseybeat scene in the '60s.
Sir Paul described her as "a lovely girl who infected everyone with her great spirit."
TV presenter Gloria Hunniford said Black never really got over the "deep loss" of her husband in 1999.
"Bobby was wonderful. Wonderful as a manager and wonderful as a husband," Hunniford told BBC 5 live. "She was a one-boy girl and I don't think she ever got over the vacuum of the loneliness that Bobby left."
Actress Barbara Windsor said: "I've seen her twice in the last few weeks. As always she looked immaculate. But I knew she wasn't very well. She didn't seem very well."
Morrissey, who covered Black's single Work is a Four-Letter Word with The Smiths, also paid tribute.
"Never stationary throughout the 1960s, Cilla Black made some great records - The Right One Is Left, Suffer Now I Must, It's For You, I've Been Wrong Before, What Good Am I?
"I'm very grateful for the songs, and it never occurred to me that such people could die."
Mr McCann grew up near Black and her family on Scotland Road in Liverpool.
He discovered her vocal talents when they listened to music as youngsters.
"She used to play records and sing along with them. That's when I realised. I was working at a club called The Iron Door and coaxed her to get up and sing. That was the first time she sang in public.
"Everyone was surprised by how good she was but she was very, very nervous. Eventually her confidence grew later on."
Mr McCann arranged an audition for Black with EMI - but The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein later won her signature and took over as her manager.
Promoter Sam Leach put on the gig at The Iron Door and recalled how she ran to the toilets in tears afterwards.
"I'd realised how good she was," Mr Leach said. "She was like [gospel singer] Mahalia Jackson. So when she came out I said, 'You've got a lovely voice.'"
However, she said no when Mr Leach asked her to perform the following week. "She said, 'I'm not going to do it, I made a fool of myself,'" Mr Leach said. "I ignored that and put an advert in the [Liverpool] Echo."
She had little choice but to perform the next week, Mr Leach added: "She was brilliant. Absolutely fantastic. She gave me a big hug and said, 'Thanks, I should have listened to you.'
"That was the start of her career."


Double Paralympic champion Liam Malone says he will use technology to run faster than Olympic legend Usain Bolt within the next three years.

Double-leg amputee Malone won gold in the T44 200m and 400m at Rio 2016.
Jamaican sprinter Bolt, who will retire this summer as an eight-time Olympic gold medallist, set the 100m world record of 9.58 seconds in 2009.
"I'm aiming for 9.4 seconds," New Zealander Malone, 23, told BBC Radio 5 live.
Malone, who is not competing at the World Para-athletics Championships in London because of injury, believes technological improvements to the blades used by amputee runners will bring down times.
"In the next three years I'll run faster than Usain Bolt over 100m," said Malone, who was born without fibula bones and had his legs amputated below the knee when he was 18 months old.
"It won't be done in the Paralympics, and I've no intention of ever racing Usain Bolt or able-bodied people, it's about racing against their time outside of the rules and regulations that limit technology. That's what I'm focused on at the moment.
"If you were me and you were bullied as a kid from five to 15, and you had this opportunity to use technology to do something that hasn't been done before, you'd absolutely want to do it and that's what I'm doing."
Malone, who clocked 11.02 as he finished second to Britain's Jonnie Peacock in the 100m in Rio, believes that in "50 to 100 years' time" Para-athletics will feature athletes who are "half-robotic, half-human".
"The point is that artificial bodies improve at a faster rate than the biological body," he said.
"Until about nine years old, my legs were basically like a pirate's from the 16th century - wood, rubber, really basic.
"It's only in the last five to 10 years I've had these new forms of technology come through.
"If blades are allowing blade runners to run as fast as able-bodied human beings at this point, what's it going to look like in 20 years?
"It's not just in Paralympic sport. Artificial bodies is one of the biggest trends in the world - from dying your hair to using contact lenses to hearing aids to breast implants and fake teeth. It really is the future.
"Human beings love customising things and the human body is the pinnacle of something you can customise."
Technology is governed by International Paralympic Committee rules - and changes are due to come into force in January that would outlaw the blades used by Malone.
"I'm not sure what the IPC are doing there," he said. "It would be easier to give everyone access to the same technology."


It is famous for its gory violence and sex scenes, but that has not stopped parents naming their children after characters from Game of Thrones.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has just released data on baby names for England and Wales in 2014.
Their figures show that some children will grow up bearing the names of characters from the fantasy adventure.
Arya is the most popular girl's name, with 244 babies named after the character played by Maisie Williams.
There were also 53 babies named Khaleesi, nine Daenerys, six Sansas and four Briennes.
The blonde Daenerys Targaryen, played by actor Emilia Clarke, is one of the most recognisable figures in the drama, and her image is often used on publicity material for the show.
Daenerys is also known as Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, which has obviously caught the imagination of a number of parents across the UK.
The Starks, Lannisters and Greyjoys are battling it out for popularity among the male Game of Thrones names.
In 2014, 18 boys were called after the treacherous Theon, while 17 were named after the dwarf Tyrion.
In addition, four boys each bear the names Bran and Sandor.
The hugely-popular series is mostly filmed in Northern Ireland and contributes millions to the local economy.
While the number of babies with cast names is relatively small, the ONS say there has been an increase since George R R Martin's original novels first appeared on TV screens in 2011.
The boy band One Direction also remains popular with many parents across England and Wales, but it appears that Irish member Niall Horan is the least notable.
Only 155 boys were given his first name in 2014, compared to 231 Zayns, 902 Liams, 999 boys called Louis, and 5,379 called Harry.
The most popular names in England and Wales in 2014 were Oliver for a boy and Amelia for a girl.
That is in contrast to Northern Ireland where statistics released earlier this year showed that the most popular baby names in 2014 were Jack and Emily.
Those figures also showed no evidence of a Game of Thrones impact locally, but among the baby names used here were Devin, Kaanye, Peanut, Princeton and
Rocco for boys, and Blessing, Piper, Coco, Texas, Suri and Mazie for girls.


Luton Town striker Danny Hylton says there is no reason why the Hatters cannot win League Two this season.

Hylton scored a hat-trick in Saturday's 4-1 win over Wycombe as the club moved to the top of the table.
"I believe that we've got everything in place to go on and do well. For me, I want to go and win the league," the 27-year-old told BBC Sport.
"I'm sure there's a lot of people that have the same view as me. I don't see anything why we shouldn't do that."
Hylton has scored five goals in six League Two appearances after moving to Kenilworth Road in the summer, having turned down a new contract with Oxford United, despite helping them to promotion to League One last term.
He continued: "We've got a team that work really, really hard, and we've got players who have great ability. If you've got both you're going to do well. But the hard work is the main thing, the desire to do well.
"The manager keeps us grounded, we work hard every day, he's learning and he's a top, top coach and players are improving all the time."
Boss Nathan Jones is embarking on his first full campaign as a manager, and Hylton said he has been impressed by the Welshman's attitude to the game.
"From the minute I met him it was like 'wow', he just blew me away. Some managers can just say the usual stuff and you've heard it all before, but when I spoke to the gaffer he sold it to me," he added.
"We work on our shape and how we want to play throughout the week. He said 'if you talk Japanese on a Monday to Friday, you'll talk Japanese on a Saturday'.
"When it comes off and we're doing well, you see how enthusiastic he is, clapping, shouting in Spanish and getting excited, but that's because he loves the game."


Proposals to make workers clock off when they go for a cigarette break have been backed by a Norfolk council.

Staff at Breckland Council will not be paid in future for the time they take to have a cigarette after the proposals were given the go-ahead.
Simon Clark, from Smokers' lobby group Forest, said earlier that everyone was entitled to a break during work.
The council said the move was aimed at making the issue of smoke breaks fairer for individuals who did not smoke.
William Nunn, leader of the Conservative-run council, said: "We are not trying to stop smoking... what we are saying is when people go for a cigarette they should do it in their own time."
Mr Clark said: "Are they going to introduce clocking in and off for people who go on the internet, on Facebook, or people who want to have a cup of coffee?
"I am sure there are some smokers who abuse the situation and go out too often but if that is happening that is a failure of management."
A meeting of the full council voted to approve the measure on Wednesday.


Midfielder Jon Nolan has joined Chesterfield on a free transfer following his departure from National League club Grimsby Town.

An amateur beekeeper died after he was stung on the neck inside his protective suit, an inquest has heard.

Mark Turner, 55, tried to use an EpiPen to counter the severe allergic reaction but spilled the contents, a hearing at Exeter's County Hall was told.
His wife then successfully used another pen to administer an injection, but he died from the reaction to the sting at his home on Dartmoor, Devon.
A coroner recorded a conclusion of accidental death.
More on this story plus more Devon and Cornwall news
Mr Turner kept three hives near his home as a hobby and to make honey.
He had previously been diagnosed with an allergy to bee stings, but tests had found the severity of his condition was on the "lower end".
His wife Ali said on the day of his death in November 2015 the father of three ran into the house and then collapsed on the floor gasping for breath.
He got out of the protective suit and grabbed the EpiPen but it misfired and the contents ended up on the floor.
Mrs Turner then got a second pen and injected his leg.
She said: "He was still conscious but delirious. He was grey and pale and his breath was shallow. He was not responding."
He died about 20 minutes later despite the efforts of paramedics.
A post-mortem examination concluded Mr Turner died from the anaphylactic allergic reaction caused by the sting to his neck.
His wife said he had gone to see his GP in May 2015 and was given antihistamines and Epinephrine injections after suffering a reaction.
Mrs Turner said her husband was "fit and healthy" and said had he known there was a risk of dying "he would have given up the bees".
Assistant coroner Luisa Nicholson said both EpiPens had been tested and did not have any defects.


(Close): London's benchmark share index fell more than 1%, with commodity-related shares being hit by the drop in oil prices.

At close on Tuesday, the FTSE 100 index was down 73.49 points, or 1.19%, at 6091.23.
UK oil giants BP and Royal Dutch Shell were among the major fallers.  Top gainer was Berkeley Group Holdings.
Oil prices have slid recently on doubts that producers will agree to curb output at a meeting later this month.
Mining companies were also affected, with shares in BHP Billiton, Glencore and Anglo American all down.
Shares in supermarket giant Tesco fell 1.7% after Deutsche Bank lowered its rating on the stock to "hold" from "buy".
In the FTSE 250, shares in Card Factory rose 4.25% after it reported strong full-year results and raised its dividend.
Full-year pre-tax profits nearly doubled to ??83.7m, and the retailer increased its dividend by a third.
On the currency markets, the pound fell against the dollar to $1.4157, and slipped against the euro to ???1.2421.


Terminal breast cancer patients have spoken of their distress after learning that a life-extending drug they had been told would be available to them looks set to be withdrawn.

Advisory body NICE is reviewing drugs made available through the old cancer drugs fund, and has rejected Kadcyla for use on the NHS in England.
It believes the price per patient set by manufacturer Roche is too expensive. Roche says discussions are continuing.
One patient said the move felt "cruel".
In clinical trials, Kadcyla - Â£90,000 at full cost per patient - was shown to extend terminal breast cancer patients' lives by an average of six months, and to dramatically improve quality of life when compared with other treatments.
It is used to treat people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be surgically removed.
Bonnie Fox, who is 39 and from Croydon, south London, told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that she had been informed by her oncologist that the drug would be available to her when her current drug became ineffective.
She said when she had discovered the drug was no longer routinely available on the NHS, she had been "completely devastated".
"I'm really dependent on those extra years... they could [help me achieve] extra milestones with my son, help me see him get to school," she said.
"To have that suddenly taken away feels so cruel. You know that drug is there, and you know that drug is good."
Patient Gill Smith said had been assured by her oncologist that Kadcyla would be available when she needed it.
"[My oncologist] said if Kadcyla were ever going to be withdrawn, they'd be chaining themselves to railings... it was unthinkable it would be no longer available."
The drug had been available through the old cancer drugs fund since 2014.
That was a ring-fenced fund set up by the government to help people in England access costly cancer drugs not routinely available on the NHS.
But that fund was closed in March 2016 and replaced with a new approach to the funding of cancer drugs, which includes the so-called new-look cancer drugs fund.
Dr Mei-Lin Ah-See, a consultant in clinical oncology at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, criticised  the failure of NICE to approve the drug for routine availability on the NHS.
She said it "not only comes at the expense of survival for our patients, but would come at the price of toxicity", as alternative drugs result in greater side-effects for patients.
She said the UK Breast Cancer Group - a group of senior medical and clinical oncologists specialising in breast cancer treatment - would be writing to NICE to request that the decision should be reviewed and an accommodation found to keep the drug available for NHS patients.
More than 80,000 people have signed a petition - led by the charity Breast Cancer Now - calling on NICE and Roche to find a solution.
Carole Longson, of NICE, said the watchdog "knows how important it is for people with breast cancer that they have access to life-extending treatments, but the reality is the cost of this drug is too high relative to those benefits for it to be recommended for routine use".
A NICE spokesperson added: "NICE would like to be able to support the routine use of Kadcyla on the NHS and we are open to an approach from Roche with ideas about how they can make this happen.
"They have been in touch with us and we are arranging a further meeting with them, during the consultation period."
Richard Erwin, general manager for Roche UK, said: "This is not the end of the line for patients.
"We want to get back round the table with NICE to turn this preliminary decision around and ensure we all do the right thing for patients and their families."

A historic area of Edinburgh's Old Town, which was restored following decades of neglect, has been named best development in Britain.

Advocate's Close won national Project of the Year at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) awards.
The development saw nine listed buildings transformed into commercial, office and residential spaces.
It was created by Thomas and Adamson surveyors and Morgan McDonnell Architecture Ltd.
David Tuffin, chairman of the RICS judging panel, said: "Careful conservation, coupled with sensitive interventions and a clever use of new material and finishes, has produced an imaginative mixed use scheme.
"It includes a new hotel, 50 serviced apartments with views over the city, offices, restaurants, cafÃ©s and bars combining to produce a commercially sustainable and elegant addition to the Old Town.
"An exceptional regeneration, Advocate's Close is a very worthy winner of the 2015 RICS Awards - Project of the Year."
Lynn Robinson, regional director at RICS, said: "The Advocate's Close development is a shining example of how a once neglected part of a city can be truly transformed for the better of the surrounding community.
"Not only has this part of the city been restored in relation to its historic buildings and architecture, it's been brought right up-to-date with contemporary additions.
"The RICS Awards provides a real showcase of the skills and expertise of those professionals working across all sectors of the built environment.
"Once again, the standard set by the shortlisted projects was extremely high; each one representing a shining example of how property professionals with a passion for inspirational schemes, both large and small, can transform the lives of not only individuals, but whole communities and the environment at large."

Cash designed to replace EU funding after Brexit could come directly from Westminster rather than via Cardiff Bay, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives has suggested.

Andrew RT Davies, who campaigned for Leave in the referendum, questioned why the Welsh Government should handle the cash.
Mr Davies also said there is no need for a general election.
He added there were "vested interests" in making the Brexit project fail.
Wales gets Â£1.8bn in European Structural Funds in the current 2014-2020 programme, while farmers received Â£240m in the Common Agricultural Policy's single payment scheme in 2014 alone.
The cash is currently administered by Welsh Government departments.
Analysis: Sarah Dickins on plea to make safe EU funding
Mr Davies told a press conference: "It is vital that Wales interests are protected and secured, and communities which have had this money spent are given the confidence that the money will continue irrespective of whether it comes from the Treasury in London or Welsh Government."
But he added: "That money could, could come directly from Westminster."
"Why should the Welsh Government handle the money?"
He added that after the Wales Bill is passed, "after negotiations with Europe, there will be other models that we can look at and Westminster can look at as how they can deliver the money here to Wales that don't necessarily need to just flow through the traditional routes that have developed since 1999.
"I'm just saying that as a possible negotiating position that needs to be considered."
Mr Davies said it is "important that who emerges as the next prime minister on 2 September can empathises with the views that were expressed at the ballot, the referendum on Thursday."
He said there was no need for a new Westminster poll.
"The current government in Westminster was only elected 14 months ago, this referendum was a key part of the manifesto, so it was understood that this referendum was coming," he said.
"I see no need because of the referendum result of last Thursday that is a requirement to have a general election."
Mr Davies said that there was a "vested interest here in making this project fail. The establishment were on the Remain side".
He said he was a "supporter of the free movement of people. I believe that actually enriches communities and actually helps economically."
"The point is that it will be a British government who will be determining our immigration policy," he said.
He suggested the government would be "somewhere in the middle" on the issue.
