Italy's new Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, has called on business people to fund repairs to the ancient city of Pompeii, a Unesco World Heritage site.

Mr Renzi made the plea after heavy rainfall caused flooding there, damaging walls and buildings.
The site, where volcanic ash smothered a Roman city in AD79, has suffered slow degradation for many years.
On Tuesday, Italy's culture minister said he would unblock 2m euros ($2.8m) "to get the machine working".
Priority will also be given to work to reduce the risk of flooding in unexcavated areas.
Mr Renzi made the request for funding at a news conference on Wednesday.
"Italy is the land of culture, and so I challenge entrepreneurs: What are you waiting for?" he said.
"The ideological refusal to permit the private sector to intervene - as if only the public sector could guarantee the guardianship of heritage - must end."
"If the private sector can keep the wall standing upright, why not allow it to?" he asked.
Aged 39, Matteo Renzi became Italy's youngest prime minister last month.
He has vowed to bring "radical and immediate change" to Italy's struggling economy.
The Italian government has already called upon the private sector to help restore other ancient monuments, including the Colosseum in Rome and the Trevi fountain.
Italy's culture budget has suffered from cutbacks in recent years, leading the United Nations and European Union to issue warnings about the state of the country's historical sites.
The ancient city of Pompeii one of the world's greatest archaeological treasures. Every year, some 2.5m tourists visit the site, near the southern city of Naples.
Despite the money they generate, there have been allegations that Pompeii - designated a World Heritage site by the UN cultural organisation, Unesco - has been neglected and underfunded.
Last year, the 105m-euro ($145m) "Great Pompeii" rehabilitation project was launched, with the EU contributing 41.8m euros. However, one Italian newspaper said on Tuesday that only 588,000 euros had been spent.


The Borders Railway between Edinburgh and Tweedbank has been recognised as the best tourism project in the UK.

It picked up the honour at the British Guild of Travel Writers' awards ceremony.
The multi-million pound project linking the capital and the Scottish Borders was officially opened by the Queen last year.
It saw off an artificial surfing lake in north Wales and a cycling route in Devon to win the award.
"It is an amazing railway and unique to the area," said Ailsa Herd of VisitScotland on accepting the prize.
"You can visit so many different attractions over the journey so I would recommend you go now, especially since we won this amazing award.
"I think the team will be over the moon, there were so many different contenders in the category we are delighted to have won."


Saracens have re-signed Australian prop Kieran Longbottom from Premiership rivals Sale Sharks on a one-year deal.

Longbottom, 31, played in 20 games for Sale last season, making his first appearance after 714 days out with a foot injury in September.
The 31-year-old joins Saracens as cover for Titi Lamositele, who will miss "a substantial period" with a neck injury.
"We know he's a good player when he's fit and well," director of rugby Mark McCall told the club website.
"He had an opportunity and that opportunity was taken away from him by injury so he really wants to show us the real Kieran Longbottom."


An arts and innovation centre will open at Bangor University in October, more than a year later than planned.

The Â£49m Pontio project was originally due to stage its first productions in September 2014, and the building schedule was blamed for the delays.
The October opening will be phased, with the full programme of events rolled out from December.
The new building will house the Bryn Terfel Theatre, research facilities and the students' union.
Earlier this year a construction worker described the project as "chaotic". Construction company Galliford Try accepted it had faced a number of challenges but that none were unusual for a project of this kind.
The centre's artistic director, Elen ap Robert, said: "We will be gradually trialling small scale shows, artistic events and screenings."
In a statement, the Arts Council of Wales welcomed the announcement, adding: "As people have watched this remarkable building take shape, they will have been intrigued by what might be available inside.
"Now local residents, artists and students will be able to see for themselves, touring the building and experiencing first hand this unique and innovative facility."


The mother of two children killed by carbon monoxide poisoning on holiday in Corfu has criticised holiday firm Thomas Cook's former chief executive.

Sharon Wood, mother of Christi and Bobby Shepherd, said it was "abhorrent" Harriet Green had tried to use their memory to gain public sympathy.
Ms Green said on Wednesday she would donate a third of her shares to a charity chosen by the parents.
She was said to be "deeply saddened that Ms Wood feels this way".
Ms Wood said: "If Harriet Green feels the need to offload some of that money to salve her conscience, that is her decision to make, but to try and gain public empathy by attaching her donation to the memory of my Christi and Bobby I find abhorrent."
Ms Green was not running the company at the time of the deaths but ran Thomas Cook for more than two years during which time Ms Wood said the holiday firm "refused to speak to us, engage with us or apologise to us".
It has been reported that Ms Green could receive about 6,000,000 shares next month (currently valued at Â£8.7m or $13.3m) and she said she would give a third to charity.
Ms Wood said the family had had no involvement in that decision.
A series of letters from Mr Shepherd to Ms Green have been released to show how the family have been made to feel "secondary" by Thomas Cook's continued failure to consult them, Ms Wood said.
On 21 May it was announced the family were to receive a "financial gesture of goodwill" from the travel agent.
The amount of money was not disclosed, but Mr Shepherd said it was planned to make donations to a series of charities.
Peter Fankhauser, Thomas Cook's current chief executive, recently made a public apology and admitted the firm "could have done better in the past nine years" in the way it had responded to the tragedy.
The company has donated half its Â£3m payout from its insurers to children's charity Unicef.
An inquest in Wakefield ruled the children were unlawfully killed.
The pair, from Horbury, near Wakefield, were on holiday with their father Neil Shepherd and his now wife, Ruth, when they were poisoned by a faulty gas boiler at the Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel in 2006.
Thomas Cook has yet to respond to a request to comment.


A migraine sufferer died after accidentally taking too many tablets to treat her pain, an inquest has ruled.

Megan Biddle, 18, from Thame in Oxfordshire, died on 2 March at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
She had suffered migraines for several years and had previously been prescribed a drug called propanolol, but stopped taking it last year.
An inquest at Oxford Coroner's Court concluded she had accidentally taken more of the drug than she should have.
Assistant Coroner Nicholas Graham said: "She did take an overdose, medical evidence proves that. We don't know why, but we know that some of the side effects include confusion and memory loss."
In a statement given after the inquest her parents, Iain and Alison Biddle, said they tried many different treatments to cure their daughter of her migraines.
This led to her being prescribed propanolol by a hospital consultant in 2010, which she stopped taking last year.
Mr and Mrs Biddle said they think, in March, she suffered a migraine and took two tablets - the previously prescribed dose - but then became confused and took more of the drug.
"We categorically believe that Megan wouldn't purposely take an overdose," they said.
"Megan was a unique and individual girl. She never felt the need to follow the crowd; she was confident and happy with who she was."
They added that Megan, who was studying for her A-levels at Lord Williams's School, had a passion for music and volunteered at a range of charities.
Mr and Mrs Biddle said: "Although none of this will ever bring her back, it is some comfort to be able to grasp more of an understanding of what we believe happened that day."


European Union funding should be sought to help hundreds of workers hit by the closure of the Murco oil refinery in Pembrokeshire, Plaid Cymru has said.

All but 60 of the plant's 400 jobs are set to go after a deal to save it from closure collapsed.
A task force led by Economy Minister Edwina Hart is due to meet next week to attract new jobs to Pembrokeshire.
Plaid Cymru MEP Jill Evans said money should be available under the EU's Globalisation Adjustment Fund.
"Many workers in other European countries who lose their jobs have benefitted from this support to retrain, look for new work or set up their own businesses," she said.
"We all pay into this fund so it's time that workers in Wales got the same help.
"The UK government has never used the fund because it would reduce the amount of rebate the Treasury gets from the EU," Ms Evans added.
"At a time of crisis with the announcement of the Murco closure, the government should give priority to the needs of the workers, their families and communities in Pembrokeshire."
Ms Evans said she was writing to Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb urging him to apply for the funds.
Mr Crabb, who represents the area as MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire, is inviting Murco workers to meet him at an open surgery in Milford Haven on Friday.
The Milford Haven estuary must have looked quite different before the oil industry came along in the 1960s.
It was a fishing port which, over a period of just 13 years, suddenly became dominated by four huge refineries, with towering chimneys which lit up the sky at night.  One after the other, they were built in a frenzy of major construction work.
Over the years, those four refineries haven't just employed a lot of people. They've brought thousands of highly skilled workers to the area to carry out well paid jobs, which clearly benefits the local supply chain. UK petroleum industry figures suggest that Murco alone has been worth around Â£30m a year to the local economy.
The succession of huge multinational owners have also taken an interest in the local area, donating big money to local causes, building local facilities, and sponsoring community ventures.
So when the oil industry came to Pembrokeshire, it may have changed the landscape of the Milford Haven estuary forever, but there was much to celebrate.
Unfortunately, there is very little that local politicians can do when a global industry changes, and, one by one, three of those four refineries have now gone again, and been turned into facilities which require far fewer staff.
Pembrokeshire has suffered other jobs blows over the years.  Around 325 people worked at the Dewhirst jeans factory in nearby Cardigan, until it shut in 2002.
In 1995, more than 500 people lost their jobs when the Royal Navy Armaments Depot at Trecwn shut.
The ITV Digital call centre was hailed as a vital employer of 900 people when it opened in 2000 at Pembroke Dock, but it closed two years later.
Now, the county's larger private sector employers tend to be in retail, offering low-paid jobs, often only part-time.
Since the closure of ITV Digital, Pembrokeshire has managed to stay below the average unemployment rate for Wales, thanks mainly to a decade of major construction work around the Milford Haven estuary for a new gas-fired power station and two liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.
Two weeks ago the UK government confirmed planning permission for a new combined heat and power plant at South Hook.
If it goes ahead, that will create hundreds more construction jobs on the haven, at least in the short-term.
The sale of the plant to the Swiss-based Klesch Group was called off on Tuesday night after  months of work behind the scenes involving close co-operation between the Welsh and UK governments.
The refinery will now enter a shut-down period and will be decommissioned while the company looks for a new buyer for what will become a storage and distribution base.
Economy Minister Edwina Hart told BBC Radio Wales on Thursday she was setting up a task force to look at ways of attracting new jobs to the area which redundant Murco workers could take up.
"Pembrokeshire and those individuals require help and assistance now," she said.
Jamie Adams, leader of Pembrokeshire council, said employers in the county and elsewhere would be invited to take a look at the "great skills" of the Murco workers and give them jobs where possible.
"There are... very new and innovative industries, those in renewables, so many opportunities coming," he said.
Energy industry executive Dr Carol Bell said she was "very saddened" to hear the news that the deal had fallen through.
Describing the oil refining industry in Western Europe as "challenged", she said she hoped former Murco employees would find other work, but stressed they may have to move to do so.
She said: "When I've seen things like this happen in America, what people do is move to where the work is. So people might have to move to find comparable jobs."


A group responsible for managing the Epsom Downs is stepping up its "policing" of the rules after a rise in the number of dogs chasing racehorses.

The horses are trained on the Downs every morning with dog owners told to keep their pets restrained on a lead.
Nick Patton, the Jockey Club's training ground manager, said rules were often ignored leading to riders being thrown from "spooked" horses and injured.
The Epsom and Walton Downs Conservators said keepers would be reminding owners.
Mr Patton added helmet cameras for the jockeys and CCTV cameras in the area were being considered.
"We've had notices on the Downs reminding people for a long time that dogs should be properly controlled, but we are putting up newer, more prominent notices," chairman of the Conservators, Liz Frost, said.
A code of conduct reminds dog walkers they "are in danger when in close proximity to racehorses in training".
Training times are 06:15 to midday on Mondays to Saturdays, and between 08:00 and 09:30 on Sundays.
Ms Frost said the Epsom Downs were safeguarded and controlled by an Act of Parliament, which states the public are allowed access "for air and exercise on foot, subject to there not being any interference with the training of racehorses".
"People need to understand that racehorses do take priority during training, and to understand proper control," she added.
"Racehorses are very sensitive creatures - their natural reaction to a dog is to run."
Mr Patton said there had been incidents of dogs running right through the horses, "barking and snapping at their heels", and riders being thrown and suffering injuries ranging from sprained ankles to broken collar bones.
"The horses also gallop across footpaths and roads, injuring themselves and then not being able to race," he said.


Four of the fastest growing economies in Latin America agreed on Thursday to scrap most of the tariffs on trade between their countries.

Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, the founder members of the Pacific Alliance trading bloc, said the deal would eliminate 90% of merchandise tariffs between the nations within months.
They said the remaining 10% would go by the end of the decade.
The four hailed the move as an historic step towards regional integration.
The countries also agreed to abolish the need for tourist and business visas, allowing their citizens, which have a combined population of 210 million people, to travel more easily between the four countries.
"We think the Pacific Alliance is probably the most successful experience of integration that Latin America has had in its history," Chilean President Sebastian Pinera told reporters at an Alliance summit in the Colombian city of Cali.
The Alliance was only formed last year, but has already drawn praise and interest from company executives and politicians. Some regard it as the most exciting business development in the region for years.
If combined, the four countries would have the ninth biggest economy in the world, with around 2.7% of global economic output.
They account for a third of Latin American gross domestic product (GDP) and half of the region's trade with the rest of the world.
Costa Rica has formally asked to join the bloc. Countries as diverse as Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Uruguay have been granted observer status and even Spain, France and Portugal - not known for their Pacific coastlines - say they want to get involved.
The Peruvian and Chilean economies were the fastest growing in South America last year, expanding by 6.3% and 5.6% respectively. The Colombian and Mexican economies grew more slowlym but still outstripped the regional average.
All four countries are outward looking, with a particular interest in Asian markets. Chile has more free trade agreements in place than any other country in the world and Mexico is not far behind.
The dynamism of the Alliance contrasts with Latin America's other major trade bloc Mercosur.
It was set up in 1991 by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, and after showing initial early promise has since become bogged down by protectionism and political disputes.
Mercosur's failure to agree a free trade agreement with the European Union is indicative of its shortcomings. The two sides have been discussing one off and on for the past 18 years.
Mr Pinera said that apart from the deals on tariffs and visas, the Alliance leaders discussed cooperation in the fields of education and tourism, as well as further integration of their stock exchanges.
He said the four nations were increasingly sharing their embassies in countries where they did not all have an ambassadorial presence.
At the end of the summit, Colombia assumed its rotating presidency from Chile.


Married couple Dilshad and Barinder Hothi are joint founders of the international training company, the Knowledge Academy, which they aim to turn into the "Amazon of the education world".

When a husband and wife team jointly run a business, you can't help wondering: who is really in charge?
With the Hothis it is hard to tell.
In conversation they tumble over each other with shared enthusiasm, interrupt and finish each other's sentences.
She's excited about what makes their company stand out in the already very crowded market for professional training.
"The future is about blending," she says. "Our online learning courses are traditional, computer-based courses, as you would expect, but we have what we call walk-in clinics. So if someone wants to chat through an issue, they can find a locally-based instructor, pop in, ask questions, get the human interaction."
Dilshad is expansive about the big vision.
Right from the start, he says, they saw what the internet was doing to the way people bought books, groceries and clothes, and thought: "Why won't it do the same for training?"
"I knew there was a phenomenal opportunity," he says.
"In the next 10 years we'll be a global household name, I firmly believe that - a bit like Google or Facebook - we will probably be as big, if not bigger."
That might sound like hubris, but the Knowledge Academy has grown rapidly in its first six years and is one the largest training companies in the world, measured by the number of courses it offers - over 5,000 - in the number of locations. By the end of this year they say they will be able to offer training in 3,000 cities in 210 countries, from the US to Australia, Bhutan to Chile.
It delivers courses in dozens of professional areas from project management and IT to social media, aviation and animation.  And they've supplied training to companies including Rolls Royce, HSBC, PwC and Disney.
But while their operations are global, they themselves originate from a very specific cultural alchemy, a combination of Indian and English influences.
Barinder's parents, immigrants to Britain from the Punjab, ran a restaurant in Harrow, London.
"Neither of them spoke any English," she says, which meant she and her siblings were drawn into the business at an early age, helping their parents at the bank and with customers.
But as in many Asian immigrant families, the children's education was always a priority.
"I still can hear my mum now saying 'Study, because this is what is going to help you in life,'" says Barinder.
But if Barinder's life in Britain was suffused with Indian values, Dilshad's schooldays were a mirror image.
"I was born and brought up in India itself," he says. His father was in the Indian air force and his family chose for him the nearest they could find to a British public school experience.
"They put me in Lawrence School, Sanawar," he says. "It's the Eton equivalent of India."
He became house captain, played cricket and absorbed the very British atmosphere of the former colonial military school, at the foot of the Himalayas.
"I think my school background was very important, being a house captain. We were very competitive and sports-driven. We had a cricket competition and field hockey and athletics and I used to build tactics and think how many medals I'd go after."
When he arrived in the UK, at the age of 21, Dilshad met Barinder through his aunt. For several years he worked for a UK-based training company while she worked for Microsoft.
They chose to launch their own company at what to many would have seemed an inauspicious moment - in 2009 as the global economy crashed.
"It was actually the best decision ever. Any other time would have been more challenging," says Barinder.
The new business benefited from the big pool of people who had been made redundant and lacked formal qualifications to show to prospective employers.
"There were so few positions that you needed to have more badges on your CV to get a job," says Dilshad.
Now, he says, sites like LinkedIn have made formal qualifications even more important by making them constantly visible to everyone.
There is now one risk on the horizon, though. That for Dilshad and Barinder the business will consume their life together entirely.
Although they barely spend 10 minutes together during the working day from 8am to 6pm, once at home around the kitchen table or on walks at the weekend, they admit, the conversation almost always turns to work.
Their daughter, aged nine, has already spent so many hours at their office she is a proficient operator of the franking machine and can recite the names of almost every member of staff.
"Quite often we have to tell each other to turn the iPads off," says Barinder.
They've developed a pattern of working very hard for a few months then taking a luxury break, somewhere like Dubai, for a few days.
Neither seems to resent the time and dedication required, though they do approach things differently.
"I'm more conservative," says Barinder. "Typically British."
And if she weren't there to put Dilshad in check?
"I'd try to do 10 things at once," he says, grinning.
So who is in charge?
"Barinder's in charge of the people. I'm probably in charge of the strategy itself," he admits.
Do they argue?
"Barinder has been very supportive," he says.
If she's "supportive" then is he really in charge?
She laughs. But refuses to give any ground at all.


Annika Sorenstam says she is going to have "fun" being European captain at the 2017 Solheim Cup.

Vice-captain when the United States regained the trophy last year in Germany, the 45-year-old Swede said: "I can not tell you how excited I am.
"I had hoped and dreamed that this opportunity would come along. This is really going to be a lot of fun."
Europe will attempt to win back the trophy at Des Moines Golf Club in Iowa next August.
Sorenstam played on two winning sides, at Loch Lomond in 2000 and at Barseback in 2003, and was also instrumental in two victories as a vice captain in 2011 and in 2013.
No player has won more matches for Europe than Sorenstam.
Her record of 22 victories is equalled by England's Laura Davies, who played in nine more matches than the Swede.


A second independence referendum on Scottish independence need not be divisive, the first minister has said.

Nicola Sturgeon said she would make her case with "courtesy and respect" for those with different views.
In a speech she said her proposed timetable for a referendum would allow voters to make an informed choice.
Opposition parties said the SNP should focus on the job of government and respect the outcome of the 2014 referendum.
Theresa May has dismissed Ms Sturgeon's call for an independence vote in the autumn of next year or spring 2019, saying "now is not the time" for a referendum, while her government negotiates the best possible Brexit deal for the whole of the UK.
But the first minister said the terms of the Brexit deal should be clear by then, and she promised to give voters clear information on key issues such as what currency an independent Scotland would adopt.
Addressing the Political Studies Association annual conference in Glasgow, she said: "Well before the referendum debate the Scottish government will also set out proposals for what an independent Scotland would look like, we will address issues such as the currency, our plans for fiscal stability and the process of securing our relationship with Europe in future.
"And we will do all of that with as much detail and clarity as possible."
With Scotland again facing "a time of intense political debate", the first minister argued a second referendum would not necessarily split the country.
"Campaigns and politics are only divisive if we make them so, and we should be determined, all of us, not to make it so," she said.
She added: "As first minister, I have a responsibility to lead by example. After all, the Scottish government has a special responsibility to build consensus where we can.
"So I will do my best to ensure that at all times we make our case not just with passion and conviction, but with courtesy, empathy and respect. I hope very much that all politicians will do the same."
Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont said the first minister seemed "unable to accept that a majority of Scots simply do not want another referendum".
"The last thing Scotland needs right now is a divisive and unwarranted referendum. Instead it needs a Scottish government that gets on with the job it was elected to do, such as addressing the many problems facing our schools, hospitals and the economy," he said.
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale also said Ms Sturgeon should focus on the business on government.
She said: "Instead of constantly seeking to divide the country, the SNP should focus on the job of governing - tackling the crisis in our schools, fixing our broken NHS, and investing in local services."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "Families and communities across Scotland are still damaged by the division of the last independence referendum.
"The first minister is living in dreamland if she thinks another one would be positive for Scotland."


Yorkshire have confirmed that former umpire Dickie Bird is to be voted in as the club's president at their Annual General Meeting on 29 March.

The 80-year-old played for Yorkshire and Leicestershire from 1956 to 1964, scoring 3,314 runs in 94 matches.
He went on to umpire 66 Test matches before retiring in 1996.
Bird told the club website: "Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would become the president of the greatest cricket club in the world."
"It is a tremendous honour and I am very humble and proud. I am grateful to chairman Colin Graves and the Yorkshire Board for nominating me and I'm looking forward to my term in office."
Bird will replace former England and Yorkshire batsman Geoffrey Boycott as the county's president and will serve a one-year term.


A mock-up of a patient's room at the new Dumfries hospital has gone on display at the town's existing royal infirmary.

Every patient admitted to the new hospital will be treated in one of 344 single rooms with en suite bathrooms.
Senior medical staff claim it will reduce cross-infection and protect the privacy and dignity of patients.
However, critics have expressed concerns that long-term patients could become isolated.
Pictures show Â£270m hospital progress
Single hospital rooms - a good idea?
Margo Christie, NHS Dumfries and Galloway's associate nurse director, said the patients' rooms would be among the largest in any Scottish hospital.
"What that means is that a lot of treatment and therapies that are not currently carried out in the room can actually be carried out here," she added.
"For example when patients are needing to try using the stairs either post operatively or after an episode of care, then that can be done in here rather than taking them out into what are actually busy stairwells.
"But also physiotherapy and occupational health interventions that are currently carried out in the department can now be carried out in the room."
There will also be computers in each room so medical staff can immediately update a patients' notes.
Instead of having one nursing station on a ward, there will be seven stations - each responsible for a maximum of four patients.
A new nurse call system will be introduced, which will allow two-way communication between staff and patients.
Ms Christie added that large windows into each room will ensure that staff can closely monitor those in their charge.
Retired public health consultant Dr John Womersley, who has been a vocal critic of the 100% single room policy, said he does not believe in the one-size-fits-all approach.
"People like company, they support one another," he said.
"It's ok if you're a busy person and you are in hospital just for two or three days for a major operation or something, then that's fine - a single room is entirely appropriate.
"But if you're staying for a length of time or you're terminally ill or you're having palliative care, or you're in rehab, then that's not the case. You need people around you to support and aid your recovery."
The mock-up room will be open to the public between 13:00 and 14:00 every Tuesday and Wednesday during April and May on the lower ground floor of Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.


Nottinghamshire's bowlers had the upper hand on day one despite a defiant knock from Worcestershire's stand-in skipper Alex Gidman.

Brett Hutton took two early wickets, and Harry Gurney struck in his first over as the hosts wobbled on 75-4.
Gidman, leading the side in place of the injured Daryl Mitchell, made 71, and Ben Cox stroked a fluent 56.
But Gurney (3-47) removed Cox and Saeed Ajmal to bowl out the hosts for 269 before Notts reached 71-0 at stumps.
Worcestershire won the toss and batted first at New Road, but soon lost Richard Oliver, caught behind by Chris Read off Hutton, for four.
Gurney trapped Brett D'Oliveira (18) and Joe Clarke was dismissed leg before to Hutton without scoring as the hosts stumbled to 60-3.
Tom Fell departed soon after lunch, also caught behind by Read for 44, but Gidman was Worcestershire's anchor.
He brought up his 50 off 89 balls before Imran Tahir, on his Championship debut for Notts, had him caught behind.
Ross Whiteley made 34, and Cox added a brisk 56 before he fell to a stunning one-handed catch by Steven Mullaney, as Worcestershire's batsmen failed to build on good starts.
In reply, Alex Hales (38 not out) survived two strong lbw appeals early on before he and Brendan Taylor (29 not out) guided the visitors to stumps without loss.


Vigilantes are posing as underage girls on the internet and then attacking men who they have agreed to meet up with, Greater Manchester Police have said.

Two men, aged 19 and 25, were attacked in separate incidents after arranging to meet girls online.
In the first incident, on Friday, a man was attacked in Atherton, while on Saturday, a second man was attacked in a car park in Wigan.
Det Insp Charlotte Cadden said vigilantism was unacceptable.
She said: "These men were targeted because they had illegally arranged to meet up with underage girls online.
"I want to make it clear that grooming and arranging to meet up with children you have met over the internet is a criminal offence and if you are caught doing this you will be arrested and prosecuted."
But she added:  "It is unacceptable that this group are posing as underage girls and meeting up with men with the view to either blackmailing them or attacking them in the street."


A married couple from London have admitted providing funding for their nephew who was fighting in Syria with militants from the Islamic State group.

Mohammed and Nazimabee Golamaully, from Mitcham, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to transferring £219, knowing it may be used for terrorist purposes.
Nephew Zafirr Golamaully travelled from his home on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius to join IS.
His uncle and aunt will be sentenced on 10 November.
They did not tell Zafirr's parents and their money transfer was only discovered during a police investigation into a worldwide network of terrorism funding.
Prosecutors said that, before leaving his home in Mauritius, Zafirr had spoken to his uncle on the messaging app Whatsapp, asking for help to deceive his parents.
In March 2014 Zafirr said: "Told them I'm going to get 'nursing' training and that I won't be available for next two weeks."
Mohammed Golamaully, 48, replied: "The story of two weeks training sounds plausible prior to undertaking humanitarian aid."
Soon afterwards Zafirr was in Syria, fighting with IS, and attracting attention under the online alias Abu Hud, using social media to offer detailed instructions to others who wanted to travel to Syria.
He told his uncle: "They taught us military stances, formations and weapons."
The pair then discussed how to send money by Western Union transfer.
In another exchange Zafirr said that he might be going into battle soon in eastern Syria. His uncle reassured him that he would not say a word to his parents.
At the same time Mohammed Golamaully was having secret chats with Zafirr's sister Lubnaa, telling his niece "to revolutionise the Islamic concept amongst our close relatives".
In March 2015 Lubnaa  is believed to have also travelled to Syria, texting her uncle to say Zafirr had bought her a gun.
Mohammed Golamaully warned her: "You'll need to learn how to use it now."
Later that day Nazimabee Golamaully, 45, spoke with the children's mother, Zulekha, on Whatsapp asking if she was OK.
She received the reply: "No, we are not okay… been in shock… I do not know if we have missed anything in our education of our children."
Nazimabee replied: "Not at all, instead maybe u have been blessed but u just can't see it now."
The role the married couple played was exposed by chance by detectives who were looking into a network that was funnelling payments totalling more than £100,000 in three months from around the world to IS via a middle man in Turkey.
One of the payments they discovered was from Nazimabee Golamaully's bank account. She told police it was to fund her nephew's studies in Turkey but in court she admitted it was to fund terrorism.


A 74-year-old man has died in hospital six weeks after being hit by a lorry on a street in Edinburgh.

Alan Deas was struck by a lorry on Lanark Road, at the junction with Baberton Crescent, at about 14:45 on 24 April.
He was taken to the Western General Hospital where he died of his injuries.
Sgt Fraser Wood, of Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit in Edinburgh, said: "Our thoughts are with Alan's family at this time."


The continuing trial of two pastors in Khartoum raises the historically loaded and still deeply relevant question of Sudan's treatment of minorities.

The Reverends Yat Michael and Peter Yen have been charged with several offences, including undermining the constitutional system, waging war against the state, and espionage.
The first two charges carry the death penalty.
The campaign group Amnesty International considers the men to be "prisoners of conscience, arrested, detained and charged solely because of their peaceful expression of their religious convictions".
The case has attracted the attention of Christian campaign groups in the US, who say the men are being "persecuted for their Christian faith".
All this fits neatly into a long-held, though occasionally exaggerated, narrative of Sudanese state oppression of religious and ethnic minorities.
According to Amnesty, Mr Michael was arrested in December 2014 after a sermon he gave in a church in Khartoum North in which he raised concerns about the treatment of Christians in Sudan.
Mr Yen was detained the following month, apparently after he had sent a letter to the Religious Affairs Office querying his colleague's arrest.
As the trial continues, it is impossible to say for sure whether the men are guilty of anything, but their vulnerability is apparent.
They come from two very obvious minorities, being Christian and from South Sudan.
The southern Sudanese voted overwhelmingly for independence in 2011, after two decades-long civil wars in which well over two million people are believed to have died.
Successive leaders in Khartoum have attempted to unify a huge and very diverse country by pursuing Arabising and Islamising policies.
This often alienated non-Arabs and non-Muslims, and together with unequal development and political repression this led to civil wars in several parts of Sudan.
The independence of the largely non-Muslim and non-Arab South Sudan did not end Sudan's problems: wars continue in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
Despite what Christian and other activist groups sometimes claim, religion is not the dominant factor in these conflicts.
Almost everyone in Darfur and Blue Nile is Muslim, regardless of whether they support the rebels or the government or dislike both.
The issue there is more closely linked to ethnic discrimination, with those seen as "Arabs" given preferential treatment over those perceived to be "Africans".
In South Kordofan, there are more Christians, and cases of churches being bombed in the Nuba mountains where the rebels are based.
But the Nuba people are very mixed - it is not uncommon to find Christians, Muslims and followers of traditional religions in the same family - and it would be wrong to describe this as a religious conflict.
Rebels must take their share of the blame for the various wars, though Sudan's history has taught that disenfranchised people are only listened to when they take up arms.
Yet it is hard to dispute that Sudan's treatment of its minorities was and remains woeful.
The arrest of the two pastors "is not something new for our church", the Reverend Tut Kony, pastor of the South Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church, is quoted as saying.
"Almost all pastors have gone to jail under the government of Sudan.
"This is their habit to pull down the church. We are not surprised. This is the way they deal with the church."
Sudan's Christians are allowed to practice their faith, and you can find churches of several denominations in Khartoum, and elsewhere in the country.
But churches have been destroyed in Khartoum, and many Sudanese Christians believe life if becoming harder for them.
In one case followed around the world, Meriam Yahya Ibrahim was sentenced to death after her brother said she had converted to Christianity, before eventually the sentence was overturned and she fled the country.
In a famous speech in late 2010, President Omar al Bashir said that after South Sudan seceded there would "be no time to speak of diversity of culture and ethnicity".
It was perceived as a direct threat to all those who did not subscribe to the regime's Islamist policies, and to all those who did not come from the dominant ethnic groups from in and around Khartoum.
President al-Bashir also insisted that "Sharia (Islamic law) and Islam will be the main source for the constitution, Islam the official religion and Arabic the official language".
That might sound logical in a country where official statistics indicate 97% of the population is Muslim; but it worried many non-Muslims and also Muslims who did not subscribe to Bashir's vision of the religion and its role in public life.
Shortly afterwards, I spoke to the Nuba development worker Nagwa Musa Konda, a Christian.
Bashir's speech had shaken her, and she predicted her home region would soon become "like Darfur", a new war in a country already wracked by conflict for many decades.
Within a few months, her prediction came true: a conflict broke out in South Kordofan in June 2011, shortly followed by Blue Nile. Those wars still rage.
Generations of governments in Khartoum, going back to the Ottoman and then British colonisers, have failed to make the country's ethnic and religious diversity an advantage rather than an obstacle.
There is little to suggest the current government, which has been in power since the 1989 coup, is willing or able to break the mould.


Ian Hutchinson and Michael Dunlop will again go head-to-head in this week's Ulster Grand Prix meeting at Dundrod.

The pair dominated the Isle of Man TT in June, winning five races between them and building up a strong rivalry.
Among the other leading contenders are last year's hat-trick hero Lee Johnston and lap record holder Bruce Anstey.
Peter Hickman will hope to add to the Superbike success he secured last year, with Dean Harrison, William Dunlop and Conor Cummins also in the mix for wins.
Michael Dunlop has yet to be beaten in an international Superbike road race this year, having added a brace of victories at the TT to his North West 200 triumph on the Hawk Racing BMW.
The 27-year-old has not won at the Ulster Grand Prix since 2013, but his recent form is good, a four-timer at the Southern 100 including a win in the feature Solo Championship event, plus a double at Armoy, with a sixth straight success in the feature 'Race of Legends'.
In addition to the 'big bike' events, the Ballymoney rider will compete in the Superstock and Supersport outings, with Hutchinson likely to be the man to beat after enjoying a clean sweep of those classes at the TT.
The Yorkshireman flies the flag for the Tyco BMW outfit, but switches to the Team Traction Control Came Yamaha for what are likely to be two keenly contested 600cc races on Saturday.
Hutchinson hopes to bridge a six-year gap since the last time he stood on the top step of the podium at Dundrod.

Anstey's lap record of 133.977mph for the 7.4-mile circuit has stood since 2010, a speed he set while riding for Hector and Philip Neill's TAS team in the final Superbike race of a sun-soaked day.
The 47-year-old has 11 Grand Prix wins to his name and will hope to add to that tally as he rides the MotoGP-based RCV Honda which he campaigned over the Mountain Course two months ago.
The New Zealander will be joined in the Valvoline Padgett's Honda colours for the Superstock and Supersport events by Manxman Conor Cummins, who rides the Honda Racing 1000cc Fireblade in the Superbike races.
Meanwhile David Johnson, the fastest Australian ever around the TT Mountain Course, will be also be on board Hondas in the three main classes after securing a late deal to ride for the Wilson Craig team.
Johnston's attempts to find the form which propelled him to a treble over the County Antrim course last August have been hampered by injuries sustained in a crash at Scarborough in April.
The 27-year-old, who has taken in some British Supersport rounds this season, again rides for the East Coast Construction team. He finished fourth in a British Supersport race at Knockhill in July.
The diminutive Fermanagh rider, also a three-time North West 200 victor, campaigns BMWs in the Superbikes and Superstocks and a Triumph in the Supersport.
Bradford pilot Harrison enjoyed a successful TT week with his Silicone Engineering Kawasaki team and should challenge strongly for rostrum places and possibly a first Dundrod success.
Five-time UGP winner William Dunlop rides Yamaha bikes in the Superbike and Superstock classes, but switches to an MSS-prepared Kawasaki for the Superstock.
Lincolnshire's Hickman followed up his maiden international road race triumph at Dundrod last year by taking the chequered flag at the Macau Grand Prix in November.
The 29-year-old, also a winner at the 2016 Silverstone British Superbike round, has continued to impress as part of the GB Moto Kawasaki team this season.
The 2014 Superstock winner Dan Kneen will hope to make up for lost time on board his fleet of Mar-Train Yamahas after missing the North West and TT with an injury sustained in a mountain bike accident.
In the absence of injured pair Ivan Lintin and Alan Bonner, English duo Steve Mercer and Jamie Coward assume rides with the RC Express Kawasaki outfit.
The event has a new title sponsor for 2016 in MCE Insurance and boasts a revised practice schedule, plus a new Superpole style qualifying session.
Wednesday 10 August - Roads closed from 10:00 BST to 21:30 for practicing
Thursday 11 August - Roads closed from 10:00 BST to 21:30 for practicing and five Dundrod 150 races - National Race (5 laps), Ultralightweight/Lightweight (5 laps), Supertwins (5 laps), Challenge Race (5 laps), Superbike (6 laps).
Saturday 13 August - Roads closed from 09:30 BST to 20:30 for seven-race Ulster Grand Prix race meeting: Superstock (6 laps), Supersport Race 1 (6 laps), Ultralightweight/Lightweight (5 laps), UGP Superbike Race (7 laps), Supertwins (5 laps), Supersport Race 2 (6 laps), Superbike Race 2 (6 laps).


Reports that a Chinese woman is in custody suspected of sexually harassing men has prompted acerbic responses from women eager to highlight the rhetoric they say is normally reserved for female victims.

On Sunday local media reported that men travelling the buses of eastern Shandong province had been subject to harassment by a woman. The Jinan News TV station said that a woman was being held in police custody.
"The irony of this situation, how the tables have turned," commented Weibo user Junwei Han. "What I want to know is how the men reacted, whether they are as traumatised as female victims of sexual harassment."
Significant numbers of women took to Weibo, to confront male commenters for  perceived chauvinism.
One male user said: "This was disturbing to read, can't believe a woman could have been so daring to target not just one but many men. She ought to be taught a lesson in knowing her place in society."
He was met with little tolerance as Cherry Gan from Beijing sarcastically replied: "Oh, don't you feel that the men were just asking for it? I'm sure the way they dressed had something to do with it. Shame on them for inviting harassment."
But this is an incident that spurred heated debate among women on Chinese social media. The story itself has not been widely reported on China's main state media outlets, but "indecent assault of men by a female bus passenger" was among Weibo's biggest trending topics for the day, being discussed tens of thousands of times.
"When a woman is sexually harassed, which happens so frequently, it's hardly news. But now that it's men on the receiving end, somehow the news seems bigger and more alarming," one remarked.
In China, sexual harassment reports, typically filed by women against men, generate huge amounts of interest on the internet.  But many women saw this as an opportunity to shine a light on what they saw as the hypocrisy of discussions around issues of gender.
"Did the men dress promiscuously?" This was a question posed by many women on Weibo.
As the comments poured in it became clear that pent-up resentment was being vented through sarcasm.
"There's no smoke without fire. What were the men doing, riding the bus on their own? They must have been dressed like sluts," said one Weibo user.
But not all felt the same anger. Many netizens were at pains to say that sexual harassment "was wrong on all levels; whether it happened to a girl or a boy".
"Being on the receiving end of inappropriate, uncomfortable behaviour is never okay...It's wrong and should never be tolerated," said Xiao Mei Hao.
Others also pointed out that most men would condemn such incidents as inexcusable behaviour, no matter who was the perpetrator.


Briton Dan Evans reached his first ATP Tour final with a 6-2 3-6 6-3 win over Andrey Kuznetsov in the semi-finals of the Sydney International in Australia.

Evans, 26, started strongly against the 25-year-old Russian and won the opening set in 30 minutes before being pegged back.
The world number 67 broke serve early in the decider and held on to beat a player ranked 19 places above him.
He will now face Luxembourg's Gilles Muller at 08:30 GMT on Saturday.
In the men's doubles, Britain's Jamie Murray and Brazilian partner Bruno Soares also secured a place in the final with a 6-3 7-6 (7-4) win over Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah.
They will play Dutch duo Wesley Koolhof and Matwe Middlekoop at 05:00 on Saturday.
Britain has already enjoyed success at the event with Johanna Konta winning the women's final after impressively beating Agnieszka Radwanska.
Evans, who is already guaranteed to climb to a new career-high ranking just outside the top 50, said: "It was a good match. I feel pretty tired to be honest but I might not get this opportunity in a final for a while.
"It's great that Jo won. Hopefully Jamie wins, and hopefully I do."


Rights group Amnesty says it has found five possible mass graves near Burundi's capital, where security forces are accused of killing scores of people in December.

Meanwhile, Burundian police said they had arrested two foreign journalists who were reporting on armed groups.
Violence in the country began last April, when President Pierre Nkurunziza announced he would seek a third term.
At least 439 people have died and 240,000 have fled abroad, the UN says.
African Union (AU) leaders are due to discuss the crisis in Burundi at a summit in Ethiopia.
They want Mr Nkurunziza to accept peacekeeping troops to prevent Burundi sliding into ethnic conflict, but analysts say he is unlikely to agree.

Amnesty says satellite images show disturbed earth at sites in the Buringa area on the edge of the capital Bujumbura that are consistent with witness reports.
"These images suggest a deliberate effort by the authorities to cover up the extent of the killings by their security forces and to prevent the full truth from coming out," said Muthoni Wanyeki, Amnesty's regional director for East Africa, the Horn and the Great Lakes.
At least 87 people were killed in December's crackdown, which came after military bases were attacked by gunmen, but the UN said the true number may be much higher.
The UN said it was also analysing satellite images to investigate reports of at least nine mass graves, including one in a military camp said to contain more than 100 bodies.
Meanwhile, police said they had arrested French journalist Jean-Philippe Remy, Africa bureau chief for French daily Le Monde, and British photojournalist Phil Moore, as well as 15 other people on Thursday.
"The two foreigners were arrested in the company of armed criminals," the security ministry said in a statement, adding that a mortar, a Kalashnikov rifle and pistols were also seized.
The Foreign Correspondents' Association of East Africa said it was "extremely concerned" by the arrests.
The two journalists have covered the region for many years and have won awards for their work.

Torquay United have signed Fleetwood Town's American goalkeeper Brendan Moore on a month's loan.

The 23-year-old comes in as cover for Wigan loanee Dan Lavercombe, who is likely to be out for three weeks after suffering a groin injury in the 0-0 draw against Braintree on Tuesday.
Moore has yet to make his debut for the Cod Army, having signed for the club in February last year.
He will be available for Torquay's trip to Aldershot on Saturday.
Torquay's other two goalkeepers, Grant Fisher or Scott Corderoy, are on non-contract deals after arriving from local non-league sides and neither has played a first-team game for the Gulls.


A plainclothes policeman is in a critical condition after being shot in the head in New York.

Brian Moore, 25, was shot while attempting to question a suspect from his police car in the borough of Queens.
New York's Jamaica Hospital said the officer underwent surgery there about four hours after the shooting.
Police said the suspect, named as Demitrius Blackwell, was arrested about an hour after the incident.
Bill Bratton, New York's police commissioner, said Mr Moore and his partner Erik Janssen were in an unmarked car when they saw a man adjust something on his belt.
Suspecting he was carrying a gun, the officers approached him.
"The man immediately removed the firearm from his waistband and turned in the direction of the officers and deliberately fired several times at the vehicle, striking Officer Moore in the head," Mr Bratton said.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters: "It's a reminder of the dangers all of our officers face every single day."
Mr Moore came from a police family and had served with distinction, the mayor said.
Local media reported that Mr Blackwell was recently paroled after serving seven years in prison for attempted murder.
Saturday's incident is the fifth shooting of a police officer in New York in five months.
In December, two officers were shot dead in their car in New York by a man who then committed suicide. The gunman in that case had posted anti-police messages on social media but there is no indication of a similar motive in the latest shooting.
The shooting comes amid heightened tensions in the US over the police's use of force.
On Friday, a prosecutor in Baltimore announced charges against six officers over the death of a man in custody.


A man armed with a machete has challenged two people as they attempted to clamp a vehicle in north Belfast.

It happened on Forthriver Road about 10:15 BST. Police said the two people were not injured, but were left shaken.
Officers responded and searched a nearby property in Forthriver Crescent, where number of suspected cannabis plants were found.
A man was arrested on suspicion of common assault, possession of an offensive weapon and a drugs offence.
The 30-year-old was questioned about cultivation of a Class B drug and abstracting electricity.
He has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.


Four "randy" bulls had to be kept at bay with water jets while a trapped cow was rescued in Derbyshire.

The bulls were found circling the heifer, after its head became lodged between two trees on a steep bank in Alfreton, police said.
The RSPCA said the stricken cow was very weak, dehydrated and surrounded by "uncastrated male Limousin bulls".
It took three hours to release the cow, which has since been "recovering" from the ordeal, earlier this month.
RSPCA animal welfare officer Andy Snowdon said he was grateful firefighters from Matlock and Alfreton used their hoses to keep the bulls away.
"Their jets of water helped keep me safe while we winched the trees apart and managed to free the cow," he said.
"I love all animals, but I have to admit having four large randy bulls circling around me was quite an interesting experience and one I don't want to repeat any time soon."
The cow appeared tired but in good health after an RSPCA vet checked it over, following the rescue on 20 June.


Thousands of firms are about to see "the largest change in a generation" to the amount they pay in business rates.

Companies in England and Wales will find out later what their bill is likely to be for the next five years.
London and parts of the south east face the biggest increase, but will also receive the biggest cushion from a planned transitional period.
Firms in the north of England are set to benefit from lower valuations, but will see their bills fall gradually.
According to John Webber from commercial real estate company Colliers International, the revaluations will be "the largest changes to business rates... in a generation".
Business rates are a property tax, based on rental values, and are a significant cost for many small businesses.
What will the rates revaluation mean for UK business?
The transitional period is designed to ease the changes, but it has angered some campaigners.
Paul Turner Mitchell, a business rates campaigner based in Rochdale, said: "Across the board in the North East businesses have been paying artificially high bills for two years. So this is a kick in the teeth for them."
"There's going to be some really struggling areas where there'll be a huge reduction in rateable values, and they need the immediate value of that not a phasing in."
This revaluation was due two years ago, but was delayed because the government wanted to avoid "sharp changes" to business rates bills.
The shifts in property values - with prices rising strongly in many parts of London and the South East, but falling steeply in less prosperous regions - mean the new amounts firms will pay in rates from April 2017 diverge more sharply.
Businesses pay an extra tax on the shops, offices, warehouses and factories they use.
Rates are the third biggest outgoing for many small businesses after rent and staff costs.
Business rates are based on rental values but also take into account things like the value of machinery and equipment as well as the sector the business is operating in.

League Two club Accrington Stanley have terminated the contract of Paddy Lacey after he was given a 14-month drugs ban by the Football Association.

The midfielder, 24, tested positive for Benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, after the club's match against Hartlepool United on 22 November.
He admitted breaking anti-doping rules.
The suspension, which followed an Independent Regulatory Commission Hearing, is effective from 15 December 2016 to 14 February 2018.
Lacey, who joined Accrington in July 2016, made 17 appearances in 2016-17 but has not played since 10 December having been immediately suspended by the Lancashire club pending the outcome of the disciplinary action.
"Accrington Stanley has strong values on anyone taking any prohibited substances and will always act in the strongest possible way to protect the integrity of the football club," read a club statement.


A man has appeared in court charged with murdering a man who was hit by a car after an "altercation".

Richard Broughton died in hospital on 30 April, two days after being knocked down by a car in Barnsley.
Kayne Reece Jones, also known as Reece Thompson, of Christchurch Road, Rotherham, appeared at Sheffield Magistrates Court charged with murder.
He was remanded in to custody to appear at the city's crown court on Wednesday.

It's an Israeli company that helps police forces gain access to data on the mobile phones of suspected criminals.

Cellebrite was in the headlines earlier this year when it was rumoured to have helped the FBI to crack an iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter.
Now the company has told the BBC that it can get through the defences of just about any modern smartphone. But the firm refuses to say whether it supplies its technology to the police forces of repressive regimes.
Last week Cellebrite was showing off its technology to British customers. I was invited to a hotel in the Midlands, where police officers from across the UK had come to see equipment and software that first extracts data from suspects' phones, then analyses how they interact with others.
I was given a demo using a Samsung phone supplied by the company. It was running quite an old version of Android - 4.2 - but I was allowed to take it away for half an hour, put a password on it, and use it to take photos and send a text message.
When we returned, Yuval Ben-Moshe from Cellebrite took the phone and simply plugged it in via the charging socket to what looked like a chunky tablet computer. He explained that this was the kind of mobile unit the firm supplied to police forces for data extraction in the field.
He pressed a couple of buttons on the screen and then announced that the phone's lock code had been disabled.
"We can pretty much pull up any of the data that resides on the phone," he said.
He then downloaded the photos I'd taken and the message I'd sent on to a USB stick - the evidence of my activities could now be in the hands of the police.
It was impressive, not to say slightly concerning, that the security on the phone had been so easily bypassed - although this was not a particularly advanced phone, nor had I used services such as WhatsApp, which provide added levels of security.
But Mr Ben-Moshe claimed that his firm could access data on "the largest number of devices that are out there in the industry".
Even Apple's new iPhone 7?
"We can definitely extract data from an iPhone 7 as well - the question is what data."
He said that Cellebrite had the biggest research and development team in the sector, constantly working to catch up with the new technology.
He was cagey about how much data could be extracted from services such as WhatsApp - "It's not a black/white yes/no answer" - but indicated that criminals might be fooling themselves if they thought any form of mobile communication was totally secure.
Back in the spring, there were reports that Cellebrite had helped the FBI get into the iPhone 5C left behind by the San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook.
Unsurprisingly, Mr Ben-Moshe had nothing to say on this matter: "We cannot comment on any of our customers."
And on the matter of how fussy Cellebrite was about the customers for equipment that is used by law enforcement agencies around the world, he was also tight-lipped.
When I asked whether the company worked with oppressive governments he said: "I don't know the answer to that and I'm in no position to comment on that." And when I pressed him, he would say only that Cellebrite operated under international law and under the law of every jurisdiction where it worked.
Mobile phone companies are making great advances in providing secure devices - and law enforcement agencies in the UK and the US are complaining that this is helping criminals and terrorists evade detection.
But last month another Israeli firm NSO Group, which also works for law enforcement and intelligence agencies, was reported to be behind a hack that allowed any iPhone to be easily "jailbroken" and have malware installed.
It seems the technology battle between the phone makers and those trying to penetrate their devices - for good reasons or bad - is a more even fight than we may have imagined.


ESPN has removed a sports commentator from covering an American football game in Charlottesville because he has the same name as Civil War General Robert E Lee.

Robert Lee was scheduled to cover a University of Virginia game in the city for the broadcaster on 2 September.
ESPN said it had moved Mr Lee "simply because of the coincidence of his name".
White nationalists marched through the college during a rally this month.
The rally was organised to protest against the removal of a statue of General Lee, who commanded the pro-slavery Confederate forces during the American Civil War.
It descended into violent street brawls and one woman was killed when a car ploughed through a crowd of counter-protesters.
In a statement, ESPN said: "We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name.
"It's a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue."
However, the decision to move Mr Lee has been ridiculed on social media.

Mr Lee was set to cover the University of Virginia's first game of the season against the College of William and Mary.
He has been reassigned to a game between Youngstown State and Pittsburgh which takes place on the same day.


The last few weeks have seen intense diplomacy between Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United States and Russia, in what seems to be a concerted effort to break the logjam over the Syrian conflict.

The multi-faceted civil war has lasted over four years, killed more than a quarter of a million people and dislodged upwards of 10 million, in what is being seen as the worst refugee crisis for half a century.
Some of the meetings have been rare or unprecedented:
There is no sense yet that any of this is heading for a breakthrough. But for top diplomats focused on the Syrian crisis it seems there has been no time for a summer holiday.
So what is driving this flurry of activity?
In the first place, the recent nuclear deal with Iran struck by global powers has created new diplomatic momentum and led to all sorts of jockeying for position.
Now that Iran is coming in from the cold, it is impatient to assert itself as the leading Shia country in the Middle East and the key interlocutor in any Syrian peace deal.
This has alarmed its main Sunni rival. The Saudi Kingdom is wary of Iran's new prominence and its closer relations with Washington.
So the Saudis are reaching out to Russia as a counterweight, in part to show the Americans that they can no longer take Saudi loyalty for granted, in part to challenge Iran's claim to regional primacy.
The Russians are also worried about a new US-Iranian axis.
President Putin is always on the lookout for ways to teach the Americans that they are not the only game in town.
So reaching out to the Saudis, while also fostering links with Iran and trying to cajole Syria's fragmented opposition into talking to Damascus, is part of Moscow's attempt to take on the mantle of the key international mediator when it comes to Syria.
Meanwhile, the Americans want to see whether the Iran nuclear deal can both unlock the Syria conundrum and strengthen other relationships - with both Tehran and with Moscow.
Western diplomats say that despite bitter differences over Ukraine, the Russians remained largely helpful when it came to the Iran nuclear talks.
So could common concerns over Syria help the West to mend fences with Russia?
Which brings us to the second reason why diplomacy is back in the air: the rise of so-called Islamic State (IS) jihadists in both Syria and Iraq.
The urgent need to counter the rise of IS is something which all these big powers can agree upon.
Iran is desperate to see the IS threat removed or contained. It disrupts the conduit route to its Hezbollah Shia allies in Lebanon.
It challenges Iranian interests in Iraq, where IS may hold sway over as much as a third of the territory. It is an existential threat to the weakening power of Iran's ally in Syria, President Assad.
As the so-called IS caliphate has spread its tentacles across the Middle East and beyond, staging terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia, in Turkey and Western Europe, it has gone from being a regional to a global threat.
The Kremlin, too, is seriously worried. Already IS jihadists are enlisting recruits in Russia: what if they reactivate a bombing campaign to threaten the safety of Russian citizens?
On the ground in Syria too, all these countries have reason to be alarmed.
Iran and Russia have watched as the influence and reach of their client, President Assad, has been steadily eroded.
He still controls the capital Damascus and towns in the Western part of the country.
But he has suffered a series of military setbacks at the hands of IS and other insurgent forces.
Just in the last few days he announced his troops in north-west Syria were pulling back to a new defensive line around his Alawite homeland.
Meanwhile, the US and its Gulf allies must be debating whether their strategy against IS in Syria and Iraq is working.
An international coalition led by the US (and now enjoying new support from Turkey) continues to pound IS targets from the air.
But the damage which air strikes can do is limited. And proxy ground forces, opposed to both Assad and IS and in tune with Western interests, are too weak to make much difference.
So although the US and its partners might welcome the weakening of the Assad regime, the erosion of its power is also a concern.
If the Assad government were to collapse altogether then a frightening prospect of general chaos looms. That might allow IS jihadists to extend their grip over the whole country.
That is a nightmare scenario which in theory should unite the US, the Saudis, Iran and Russia.
It is almost certainly what is fuelling their latest fevered diplomatic consultations.
The problem is, when it comes to a political solution to Syria, old rifts over what to do about President Assad remain wide open.
Iran and Russia argue that he should be a legitimate partner in the fight against IS extremists.
But the West and Saudi Arabia insist that he's part of the problem, not the solution.
Possibly there are hints that the two opposing sides are inching towards each other. Russia continues to insist that its support is not for President Assad himself, but for Syria's legitimate government.
The US and other Western partners no longer declaim that "Assad must go" before there is a political settlement.
But any viable "grand bargain" looks to be a long way off. And meanwhile those fighting to seize territory on the ground are not party to any of this diplomacy.
So the big question is: can slow diplomacy move fast enough to prevent Syria from imploding into total anarchy - over which the outside world would have no influence?


Torquay guaranteed another season in the National League with a well-deserved victory against relegated North Ferriby at Plainmoor.

After a nervous start, the Gulls grew into the game and started to apply pressure, which nearly paid off in the 14th minute when a powerful shot from Brett Williams struck a post.
Luke Young forced a good save from Owen Evans and later went close with a couple of first-half free-kicks.
The Gulls started the second half purposefully and finally breached the visitors' defence in the 58th minute when skipper Aman Verma headed home a free-kick after Jordan Lee had been brought down by Mark Gray.
Giancarlo Gallifuoco had a goal disallowed in the 65th minute, but the Gulls ensured they will be back in the National League next season when Myles Anderson headed home two minutes from time.

The Ice Bucket Challenge that went viral in 2014 has funded an important scientific gene discovery in the progressive neurodegenerative disease ALS, the ALS Association says.

Scientists have identified a new gene contributing to the disease, NEK1.
The Ice Bucket Challenge has raised $115m (£87.7m) from people pouring cold water over themselves and posting the video on social media.
It was criticised as a stunt, but has funded six research projects.

Research by Project MinE, published in Nature Genetics, is the largest-ever study of inherited ALS, also known as motor neurone disease (MND).
More than 80 researchers in 11 countries searched for ALS risk genes in families affected by the disease.
"The sophisticated gene analysis that led to this finding was only possible because of the large number of ALS samples available," Lucie Bruijn of the ALS Association says.
The identification of gene NEK1 means scientists can now develop a gene therapy treating it.
Although only 10% of ALS patients have the inherited form, researchers believe that genetics contribute to a much larger percentage of cases.
Social media was awash with videos of people pouring cold water over their heads to raise money for ALS in the summer of 2014.
More than 17 million people uploaded videos to Facebook, including many celebrities who rose to the challenge, which were then watched by 440 million people worldwide.


Pluto continues to get bigger in the viewfinder of New Horizons' cameras.

The Nasa spacecraft is now less than 40 million km from making its historic flyby of the dwarf planet on 14 July.
The latest pictures, acquired by the probe's Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI), show distinct surface regions - some bright, some dark.
Quite what they represent is anyone's guess just at the moment, but as New Horizons bears down on Pluto, these features will only get clearer.
Scientists have to do quite a bit of processing to produce these views, and it is always possible that they have introduced some artefacts. But the impression that the body has some really quite diverse terrain seems quite solid now.
"Even though the latest images were made from more than 30 million miles away, they show an increasingly complex surface with clear evidence of discrete equatorial bright and dark regions - some that may also have variations in brightness," said New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.
"We can also see that every face of Pluto is different and that Pluto's northern hemisphere displays substantial dark terrains, though both Pluto's darkest and its brightest known terrain units are just south of, or on, its equator. Why this is so is an emerging puzzle."
New Horizons is now about 4.7 billion km (2.9 billion miles) from Earth and just  39 million km (24 million miles) from Pluto itself.
When it arrives at the dwarf, it will be travelling at almost 14km/s - far too fast to go into orbit.
Instead, it will execute an automated, pre-planned reconnaissance, grabbing as many pictures and other data as it can as it barrels past the 3,200km-wide planet and its five known moons - Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra.
Last week, researchers working on the Hubble space telescope revealed how the smaller satellites behaved in a chaotic manner as they circled the more tightly bound Pluto and Charon.
Hubble showed the little moons to be wobbling end over end as they moved through the bigger pair's lumpy gravity field.

It is too early to say whether the intended benefits of creating a single Scottish police force have been realised, a report has said.

The Inspector of Constabulary (HMICS), Derek Penman, said the force had met savings targets for its first year.
But in his annual report, he said financial challenges persist.
He said the reform had been effective, with front line policing continuing and minimal impact to the services provided to communities.
But he said local authorities should assert themselves in expressing their concerns where decisions taken nationally impact on their areas.
Police Scotland was created in April of last year by merging eight regional forces and the Scottish Crime and Drugs Enforcement Agency (SCDEA).
The Scottish government said it would lead to savings of Â£1.5bn over 15 years.
Mr Penman said Police Scotland is operationally effective, with crime falling to a 40-year low, and it is better placed to deal with major events than the forces it replaced.
But his report warned: "The creation of the new service was only the beginning of a major change programme and challenges remain in terms of the medium to long-term sustainability.
"Financial challenges persist and although the savings targets were achieved for 2013/14, there is a need for both Police Scotland and the SPA (Scottish Police Authority) to be clear about future structures and have transition plans that deliver sustainable savings."
The creation of the single police service was criticised by many local authorities who claimed local accountability would be reduced.
And Mr Penman said genuine engagement with communities would help the force to be successful.
His report said: "I have found early evidence that there is more equal access to specialist resources across the country.
"There is also early evidence in the production of local plans that the connection with local communities is being developed, although there is further work to be done in this area."
He called on councils to "assert themselves" to hold divisional commanders to account for the delivery of local policing plans and to voice their concerns about the impact of national policies on their own areas.
"Effective localism and genuine engagement with communities will be a critical success factor for Police Scotland and the SPA moving forward," he said.
"Some of the change required will take time to achieve, and only once implemented will it be possible to fully assess whether the intended benefits of reform have been fully realised."
An SPA spokesman said an effective legal, financial and operational merger was delivered in the first year of the new police service.
He added: "We welcome the independent view of HMICS that policing is operationally stronger and better placed to deal with major events than the legacy police forces it replaced.
The focus for the coming year will be on continuing to ensure that local policing is closely tailored to local community needs, and to developing a long-term strategy to sustain and improve policing outcomes over the next decade."


The UK advertising watchdog has ruled against online games Moshi Monsters and Bin Weevils in a crackdown on adverts pressuring children to spend money.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said both "directly pressured" young players to pay subscriptions.
It said Moshi Monsters told children that members would be "super popular", while Bin Weevils' options to pay subscriptions were phrased as commands.
The publishers said they were cooperating with the ASA.
"Although it was possible to play the games without spending real money or sharing the game, certain activities required participation in a paid-membership system, which entitled members to additional benefits," the ASA said.
"Both games contained language and prominent calls to action that put pressure on young players to purchase a subscription to take part in additional gameplay. We considered that text, including "Become a Member", "JOIN NOW", directly exhorted children to purchase membership subscriptions as well as in-game 'currency'."
It said that phrases used in Moshi Monsters - such as "The Super Moshis need YOU" - put pressure on children. In Bin Weevils' case, it said that it used imperative phrases, such as "DOSH Top Up" that could be read by children as orders to pay.
It said that putting such pressure on children was prohibited by its advertising code and ordered that the ads should not appear again in those forms.
The ASA added that it would remind publishers to take care with in-game purchase mechanisms aimed at children.
Mind Candy, which publishes Moshi Monsters, said it took its "responsibilities very seriously with regards to how we communicate with all of our fans, especially children".
In a statement, it said: "We have been working with the ASA to ensure that we adhere to best practice and have made changes to the Moshi Monsters game accordingly.  We will continue to work with the ASA in any way possible."
The Bin Weevils publisher, 55pixels, said: "As soon as [we] were made aware of the complaint made to the ASA about a potential breach, and once we had understood the area for concern, we changed all our membership pages to comply with their recommendations.
"They subsequently upheld the complaint about the original wording but referenced that we now complied, in the text of the ruling."


A man and woman in their 80s have been seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash on the A9 near Bannockburn.

The 87-year-old male driver of a Kia Picanto and his 82-year-old female passenger were involved in a collision with a Ford Mondeo.
The incident happened south of Gartclush Farm between Bannockburn and Plean at about 14:30 on Wednesday.
The couple remain in a serious but stable condition in Forth Valley Royal Hospital.
The two female occupants of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries and have since been released from hospital.
The road was closed between Greencornhills Roundabout and the junction with the B9124 at Plean Farm Cottages for about four hours while a police investigation was carried out.


Cuts made to London Fire Brigade (LFB) services under Boris Johnson will be reviewed, new mayor Sadiq Khan says.

The report, to be carried out by Anthony Mayer, will check whether the brigade is equipped to deal with major emergencies, the London mayor said.
Ten fire stations have been shut and over 500 firefighter jobs removed as part of cuts to the service since 2009.
"I want to be reassured that our fire brigade has the resources they need to respond," Mr Khan said.
Conservative Greater London Assembly (GLA) group leader Gareth Bacon said the review was "perfectly understandable".
"Knowing the fire brigade as I do, I'm confident the review will not reveal anything amiss and will show that London's fire brigade is in robust health," the former fire authority chairman said.
London Fire Commissioner Ron Dobson, who recommended the cuts backed by Mr Johnson, said he "welcomed the review into our resources".
Funding of LFB has been reduced by more than £150m since 2009, with a further £22m due to be cut over the next three years, according to City Hall.
Figures released by the service in May showed the number of deaths caused by fires in the capital had reduced by 20% in five years.
However, City Hall said the length of time fire crews took to attend an emergency had risen in more than half of London boroughs.
Boris Johnson was mayor of London between 2008 and 2016 before Labour candidate Sadiq Khan was elected.
The report will be published by Mr Mayer, a former CEO of Greater London Authority, in the autumn.


The streets of a new housing estate in a Greater Manchester town are to be named after miners who died in a Victorian pit disaster.

The homes at Walmsley Farm, Leigh, are being built close to where Bedford Colliery once stood.
The colliery, which operated from 1874 until it closed in 1967, was rocked by an explosion on 13 August 1886, where 38 miners lost their lives.
Wigan Council is to name 13 streets after some of the men who died.
David Molyneux, the council's cabinet member for regeneration, said: "The mining industry will always be an incredibly important part of our history as it helped shape the borough we have today.
"Many of us have ancestors who toiled away deep below the ground in this extremely dangerous job.
"It's therefore important that we keep our mining heritage alive in a meaningful way."
As well as the streets bearing individual names, Wood End Way will be named after Wood End Colliery - the original name of Bedford Colliery.
A memorial for the victims of the disaster stands in Leigh Cemetery.

It has been more than two years since 276 girls were abducted from a secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria by militant Islamist group Boko Haram.

Their kidnapping sparked one of the biggest global social media campaigns, with tweeters using the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.
But most of the girls are still missing. BBC News looks at what we know.
On 14 April 2014, Boko Haram militants attacked a government secondary boarding school in Chibok, Borno state, where girls from surrounding areas had gone to take exams.
Many schools in the region had shut down. Boko Haram was targeting them because of their opposition to Western education, which the militants believe corrupts the values of Muslims.
But Chibok had not been attacked before, so it was felt safe to use the school for the important final year exams. Many of the pupils were Christians.
The gunmen arrived in the town late at night in a blaze of gunfire and headed for the school where they raided the dormitories and loaded 276 girls on to lorries.
Some managed to escape within hours of their kidnapping, mostly by jumping off the lorries and running off into the bushes.
In total 219 girls were taken away.
One of those who did escape told the BBC Hausa service the militants had said: "You're only coming to school for prostitution. Boko [Western education] is haram [forbidden] so what are you doing in school?"
In the past the militants had secretly swapped hostages for Boko Haram members or relatives in prison but this abduction and the blaze of publicity that followed came as the group was growing in strength and capturing territory.
Captives from the villages they were taking over were generally put to work, the boys as fighters while women and girls were often forced to become wives of men in the group.
Three videos have been released to date. On 14 August 2016, a Boko Haram tape showed about 50 of the girls and contained a demand for the release of imprisoned militants in exchange for them.
The group also said some girls had been killed or injured in government air strikes.
In April 2016 a video was broadcast by CNN, which appeared to show some of the kidnapped schoolgirls alive. In May 2014, Boko Haram released a video of around 130 girls gathered together reciting the Koran.
In May 2016 one girl was rescued from the Sambisa Forest, a remote area of north-east Nigeria near to the Cameroon border, where many Boko Haram militants have fled.
She was reportedly spotted by a vigilante group in the area, although the circumstances of her rescue are unclear.
She was named locally as Amina Ali Nkeki, aged 19, and may have had a baby. According to one Chibok activist, Amina said six of the schoolgirls had died but the rest were in the forest.
In October, 21 of the remaining students in captivity were freed.
The Nigerian government said their release was the result of negotiations with Swiss officials acting as intermediaries with Boko Haram.
There are conflicting reports but one security official told the BBC that four Boko Haram commanders were freed as part of a swap - this was denied by the Nigerian government.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has said all the girls have converted to Islam and were "married off".
Last year, three women who claim they were held in the same camps as some of the Chibok girls told the BBC some of them had become fighters - though the testimony has never been verified.
Other rumours or reported sightings of the girls in neighbouring countries have turned out not to be true.
A journalist who is believed to have had contact with the militants, Ahmed Salkida, said in December that sources had told him that the girls were alive. The Nigerian army has since declared Salkida himself a wanted man.
The US, UK, France have been providing military support and intelligence to help in the search for the girls.
China and Israel have also given assistance.
A boosted regional force with 8,700 troops from Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria was launched last July.
Thanks to this renewed military impetus, over the last year the militants have been driven from towns and villages to their hideouts in the Sambisa forest - which cannot be accessed by road.
Thousands of people have been freed from Boko Haram captivity, but Amina was the first of the 219 girls to be found.
President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is prepared to enter into talks if a credible Boko Haram leadership can be identified. The group is said to have recently split over allegiance to so-called Islamic State.
Negotiations, brokered by the Swiss, helped secure the release of the 21 students, and Nigeria's Information Minister Lai Mohammed said that their release was "the first step" towards the liberation of all the remaining girls.


Jason Roy continued his fine form with a second century in six days as Surrey made a strong start with the bat against Middlesex at Lord's.

His 110 means he has scored 323 runs in a week after an unbeaten 93 against Glamorgan in the One-Day Cup and 120 not out against Kent in the T20 Blast.
Tim Murtagh (2-85) reduced Surrey to 23-2 inside the first six overs, before Rory Burns (88) aided the recovery.
Burns and Roy put on a 118-run fourth wicket stand as Surrey closed on 384-8.
Roy's century was a fine retort against Division One leaders Middlesex, who dismissed the England limited-overs opener for a first-ball duck in the One-Day Cup on Tuesday.
After paceman Murtagh removed both Zafar Ansari and Dominic Sibley early on, Surrey's slump continued as James Franklin trapped Aaron Finch (37) to leave them 70-3.
Burns helped turn their fortunes around as he hit 15 fours in his 127-ball knock as the visitors seized the initiative.
Roy hit 16 fours himself as Surrey edged close to the 400 mark by the end of the first day's play, with Ben Foakes unbeaten on 53.


A prominent Thai mayor has been arrested over a human trafficking scandal exposed by the discovery of mass graves in southern Thailand.

Banjong Pongphon was a "key suspect" in the investigation who "wielded great influence" in the area, police said.
The UN refugee agency said on Friday that 25,000 migrants boarded people smugglers' boats from Myanmar and Bangladesh in 2015's first quarter.
This was about double the number who left over the same period in 2014.
Banjong Pongphon is mayor of Padang Besar, a sub-district in southern Songkhla province where 26 bodies were exhumed from mass graves last week.
Smugglers' camps in the forests and plantations surrounding Padang Besar are among the main destinations of the migrants, according to a report by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
It is not yet clear what those exhumed from the graves discovered in Songkhla died from. The UNHCR report said that over half of the migrants interviewed by the UN who had travelled since October last year knew at least one person who had died in the smugglers' camps, mainly as a result of illness, beatings or being shot for trying to escape.
Police chief General Somyot Poompan told a meeting at Thailand's police headquarters in Bangkok on Friday that police will be dealt with severely if they are found to be colluding or ignoring people smuggling.
"If you are still neglecting, or involved with, or supporting or benefiting from human trafficking networks - your heads will roll," he said.
Referring to the transfer on Thursday of dozens of police pending an investigation, Gen Somyot said: "To remove about 50 officers from their posts isn't something I want to do, but it's something I have already warned you about.
"I have warned you but you didn't listen. I have warned but you still did it," he said.
In addition to the 50 officers removed, eight people, including Mayor Banjong, have been arrested.
Those found in the graves are thought to be migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh. Those from Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, are thought to be minority Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in their own country.
The Thai military junta has given local authorities until the end of next week to eradicate camps used by smugglers.


News of a terrorist attack is always frightening, but for parents there is the added dilemma of what to say to their children.

Should I shield them from the news? Is it best just to turn the television off?  Will the images they see traumatise them? Or should I tell my children exactly what's happened?
The advice from professionals is that talking about these issues is better than avoiding them.
Consultant clinical psychologist Emma Citron, who specialises in children and trauma, says families should not shy away from talking about the tragic events in Manchester.
"Give children basic facts, tell them what it is they want to know, ask them what they would like to know and then give them access to that," she says.
"Support them and comfort them and be there for them, hug them, cry with them if they're crying, just respond to how they're responding emotionally.
"Take the lead from them - we need to know what it is they want answers to."
While turning off the television and radio might be a natural protective instinct, Dr Bernadka Dubicka from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, says shielding children from traumatic events in the news isn't practical in today's society.
"Parents can't shield children from these events completely," she says. "The reality is that children and young people are bombarded by 24/7 news."
Dr Dubicka says the most important thing is for parents to be there and to try to help their children manage their emotions.
"Trying to hide the news isn't helpful because they'll hear about it elsewhere and parents won't then be there to take them through it."
While it's important to talk about the news, parents should avoid unnecessary detail, adds Ms Citron.
"Avoid nasty details, there's no need for them, they're unnecessary.
"You don't want to be describing the scene, describing the bloodshed, describing what it looked like, showing them images - I would be avoiding all of that, because that can traumatise the child."
Ms Citron also advises parents to be firm with older children about how much they read on the internet.
"Tell your young person not to go scouring the internet for all the inside stories, it's just not necessary - we need to protect our young people as well."
Ms Citron says parents should take the lead from their children in how the conversation develops, but should try to include as many calm and reassuring phrases as possible.
"General comments like, 'This is a very rare occurrence', 'It's absolutely awful, but thank goodness it's extremely rare', and 'Security is going to be tightened even more', are really reassuring.
"We don't want our children feeling afraid to go out, we don't want them not to grow up to lead normal, happy, healthy, well-adjusted lives."
If faced with the question, "Could this happen again, mummy?", Ms Citron recommends telling the truth, but also giving children lots of reassurance about their normal, everyday activities.
"I would be saying, 'Of course it could' - and don't lie about that - 'But it's very unlikely, these are very, very rare events and we are sure the police are going to up security even more.
"'It'll be absolutely fine to still go to your football or your netball, it'll be absolutely fine to still go on your scout camp', or whatever it is they do.
"'We have to to carry on living our lives in a normal way and not be cowed by these bad people.'"
The scale of the Manchester attack and the possibility that affected schools might postpone exams, means the subject will be an inevitable topic of conversation in schools.
"I'd be surprised if schools weren't giving pupils a chance to talk about the attack," says Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders.
"If students want to talk, teachers will let them ask questions and they will be talking to them about how they can look at appropriate, reliable sources for information."
Mr Barton says schools will also be working hard to emphasise a sense of community cohesion.
"Schools will be wanting to emphasise the sense of community and shared values - they'll be using every opportunity to celebrate what they have in their own community."
But, in his 15-year experience as a head teacher, he says schools will be keeping a "business as usual" approach in the wake of this attack, unless they are directly affected.
"Routines are important and can carry people through - they keep a sense of calm purpose."
The signs of trauma depend very much on the individual, however, symptoms to watch for include:
If you are concerned about your child and think he or she is traumatised by events in the news, you can approach your GP.
If the problems go on, the doctor may suggest accessing some extra help from the local child and adolescent mental health service (Camhs).
But parents should try not to be overly anxious, as Dr Dubicka says: "The vast majority of young people will cope with this and will be OK."


Schools in England are to receive £2.4bn for extra places and building repairs.

The announcement by Education Secretary Justine Greening will help to create 600,000 more places by 2021.
Extra places are needed to keep pace with a rising school-age population - and to create places in a new wave of grammar schools.
But head teachers say the money for buildings does nothing for the "black hole" in day-to-day running costs.
This announcement on school places draws upon funding from the 2015 spending review.
There will be £980m for extra school places, including an expansion in selective schools.
Speaking last week, the education secretary promised a "new model" for grammars and said local communities would have a "choice over how selection works".
There will be £1.4bn to improve the condition of schools, with 1,500 school building projects to be funded.
But a recent report from the National Audit Office said that it would cost £6.7bn to get all schools in England into an acceptable state of repair.
Last week the public accounts committee published a hard-hitting report accusing the Department for Education of failing to recognise the seriousness of funding problems for schools.
Head teachers have been warning of having to cut staff because of budget shortages.
The National Association of Head Teachers said budgets were at "breaking point" and that the announcements over extra places failed to address funding problems for basic running costs, such as staffing.
"This is money that was already allocated to building new places and so it does nothing to help fill the £3bn black hole in day-to-day school spending," said the NAHT's leader Russell Hobby.
Education Secretary Justine Greening said: "This £2.4bn investment, together with our proposals to create more good school places, will help ensure every young person has the opportunity to fulfil their potential."
