Welsh sailor Hannah Mills was disappointed she and Eilidh McIntyre could win only silver at the 470 World Championships in Greece.

Poland's Agnieszka Skrzypulec and Irmina Mrozek Gliszczynska won after taking a 16 point lead into the final race in Thessaloniki.
Mills and now-retired Saskia Clark won gold at the 2016 Olympics and the Welsh sailor had hoped for more in Greece.
"I'm pretty disappointed actually. I went to get the gold," she said.
"I've only just stepped back in the boat a month ago.
"It wasn't really the ideal build-up time or anything and it's a brand new partnership with Eilidh McIntyre so it was a lot to expect, but I guess being a competitive person you always want to win.
"I think once you've got a taste of winning, it's that or nothing really."
Cardiff-born Mills only returned to competition in May, having experienced concussion symptoms following a training collision in January, and stomach problems in March.
She partnered Winchester-born McIntyre for the first time in June as they took gold in the World Cup Series Final.
Mills expects the disappointment of not winning gold to wear off as the season continues.
"It's just in the aftermath you think 'what if, what if, what if', but that's life," she told BBC Radio Wales.
"They (Skrzypulec and Gliszczynska) were super consistent. They put together a really, really good series of results throughout the week and we had a little dip in the middle.
"You do learn an awful lot more from mistakes and what went wrong so certainly from that point of view it was good.
"But results wise it then put us under a bit of pressure to try and claw back a few too many points in the last few days."


A Labour councillor has been suspended from the party over anti-Semitic comments on her Twitter account.

A message on Luton councillor Aysegul Gurbuz's Twitter feed claimed Hitler was the "greatest man in history".
Another tweet on Ms Gurbaz's account suggested Iran could develop a nuclear weapon to "wipe Israel off the map".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said anyone who makes anti-Semitic remarks is "auto-excluded from the party" pending an inquiry.
The BBC has contacted the councillor for comment.
The Labour Party has confirmed she has been suspended pending an investigation.
Speaking to the Andrew Marr Show, Mr Corbyn said: "Anti-Semitism is absolutely abhorrent and wrong.
"We have suspended, we will suspend, any member that behaves in that way."
The tweets in question were made before Ms Gurbuz was elected to Luton Borough Council in May 2015.
A spokesman for the council said: "While these comments appear to pre-date her time as a councillor, the council is shocked by these comments.
"This matter will be referred as a matter of urgency to the council's independent standards committee to allow a full investigation to take place."
On Thursday, Mr Corbyn was criticised by a Jewish leader for not taking anti-Semitism seriously enough.


The apparent use of chemical weapons in the suburbs of Damascus, killing hundreds of civilians, has clearly lifted the Syrian conflict to a yet higher level of crisis.

With the US stiffening its military posture in the eastern Mediterranean and the Russians continuing to defend their only staunch Arab ally, the dire predictions made months ago by some regional analysts that the situation could spiral rapidly into World War III are starting to look a little less fanciful.
Conversely, and for that very reason, there are those who believe that the level of tension that has now been reached may force the unblocking of the process to find a political settlement of the crisis.
Out of the chaos and confusion of the past few days, several things have emerged clearly.
Even the regime itself and its closest allies, Russia and Iran, do not dispute that chemical weapons were used in the eastern and south-western suburbs of Damascus early on Wednesday morning.
The evidence from a huge flow of distressing amateur video is too massive to dismiss.
Medecins Sans Frontieres says 3,600 patients with neurotoxic symptoms were treated at three hospitals and that at least 355 of them died.
That may not be the whole picture.
The Violations Documentation Centre, the most measured and least sensationalist of the organisations logging casualties in the conflict, listed the names and details of 457 people it said died of chemical poisoning in eight Damascus suburbs on Wednesday. That too is likely to be a minimum figure.
While acknowledging the event, Russian and Iranian officials have either adopted the Syrian government line that the attacks were carried out by armed rebels, or left the issue of responsibility open.
In any event, with UN chemical weapons investigators already in Damascus on a prior mission, the pressure to allow them to examine the affected sites is hard to resist.
Both Moscow and Tehran have said they are urging the Syrian authorities to co-operate with the inspectors, and the Iranian foreign minister has quoted his Syrian counterpart, Walid Muallem, as saying the government is in discussion with the UN team and preparing the conditions for a site visit.
The situation also prompted a rare direct contact between Mr Muallem and the US Secretary of State, John Kerry.
With combat continuing on the ground in the affected areas, there is clearly scope for prevarication and delay, although Western patience is short.
But at least an appearance of regime willingness to co-operate may for the moment let the US and its allies off the hook.
For one of the other elements that has become clearer than ever in the past few days is the great reluctance of President Barack Obama and others to plunge into an embroilment that would be hard to get out of, and which would carry a very high risk of aggravating the situation even further.
For the West, an almost irresistible sentiment that something has to be done is colliding with the reality that there is no course of action that is attractive or even acceptable in terms of that risk.
Mr Obama also knows that his own public does not want another costly, open-ended adventure in the Middle East.
Any military action would immediately bracket the West with Israel, whose air and missile strikes on Syria this year have been held up by the regime as evidence that its internal troubles are part of a Western-Zionist-Salafist plot to destroy a citadel of resistance to Israel.
Even the most minimalist response - stepping up arms and training to opposition forces - does not really amount to much of an option.
The Western powers have never wanted the rebels to win.
Their strategy has been to redress the balance so that the regime came under such pressure that it would cave in, dump the Assad leadership and negotiate a transition that would exclude the inner ruling circle while preserving stability and state structures.
There has never been evidence to suggest such an approach might work.
The signs have always been that the regime would pull the whole house down around it before capitulating, and also that its strategic allies, especially Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, would not allow that to happen.
In addition, the West faces the reality that the moderate opposition elements it has been trying to boost have proven neither cohesive, credible nor effective on the ground.
Instead, the running has largely been made by Islamist factions, many linked to al-Qaeda.
As happened in Iraq, intervention by the West risks fragmenting the country further, creating an uncontrollable situation and handing large parts of it to forces it regards as its enemies.
To that extent, there may be more common ground between Washington and Moscow than meets the eye.
The Russians, traumatised by Chechnya, are also mesmerised by the prospect of a radical Islamist takeover in Syria.
That is why some observers believe there is still a measure of understanding between the Russians and Americans, whose foreign ministers decided in May to work together to bring about the political settlement that everybody agrees is the only solution, but which is proving devilishly difficult to get under way.
So it is not out of the question that the huge pressures exerted on all parties by the chemical weapons attacks might just be enough to pop the cork and force movement towards negotiations, with the latest speculation focusing on Geneva in October.
Any such prospect, distant though it may seem, would clearly be set back by Western military action.
An eventual formula where regime forces join with elements of the Free Syrian Army to expel or crush the Islamist radicals is not beyond imagination.
The alternatives to political movement are starker than ever.
But that has always been the case, and it has not prevented the crisis from moving from one worst-case scenario to the next.


Bernard Hopkins suffered defeat in his final fight after the 51-year-old was knocked out of the ring in the eighth round by Joe Smith Jr.

A flurry of punches sent Hopkins through the ropes and, after he failed to return to the ring in 20 seconds, he was beaten by technical knockout.
Hopkins said he was "shoved" and hit his head in his fall in the light heavyweight bout.
He added he twisted his ankle and "couldn't stand up".
Hopkins confirmed the fight would be the last of his 28-year career, which he ended with a record of 55 wins (32 KOs), eight defeats, and two draws.
The former two-weight world champion defended his world middleweight title 20 times between 1995 and 2005 and is the oldest man to hold a world title, aged 49.
The American had never been beaten inside the distance before his defeat by compatriot Smith Jr in his first fight since losing on points to Russia's Sergey Kovalev two years ago.
Smith was ahead on points on two of the judges' scorecards before he ended the fight with a series of punches which culminated in a left hook that sent Hopkins through the ropes in Los Angeles.
"I've seen him fall and I kept hitting him," Smith, 27, said. "I landed that left hook at the end there to finish the job.
"I hit him with four or five clean shots there, good shots right on the button.
"I didn't expect him to get up but he is a true champion. I came here to do my job. This is my coming out party. I had to finish him."
Meanwhile, Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk, the 2012 Olympic heavyweight gold medallist, defended his WBO cruiserweight title with a knockout of South African Thabiso Mchunu in the ninth round.


British actor Sam Kelly, best known for his roles in Allo Allo and Porridge, has died at the age of 70.

The Manchester-born star's agent Lynda Ronan said Kelly died peacefully after a long illness "bravely fought".
She said: "He does not leave any family but a host of friends who were his chosen family."
Former Doctor Who Colin Baker paid tribute on Twitter to his colleague from drama school, describing Kelly as a "lovely, funny, talented chap".
"Cannot believe that lovely Sam Kelly has died," he added. "So sad".
Baker studied alongside Kelly at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in the 1960s.
Kelly's agent described his death as great loss to his friends "and the profession".
Director Mike Leigh, who worked with him nine times, told BBC Radio 5 live that he was the "most loveable guy".
He said that although he was very funny, he was a great character actor and had a marvellous singing voice which was put to good use when he played the Wizard of Oz in the West End musical Wicked.
"He was very versatile indeed but above all, he was just a really great guy," he added.
A tribute also came from Quadrophenia film actor Phil Davis, who said on Twitter:  "So sad to hear that Sam Kelly has died, a wonderful actor, a proper gent and one of the funniest men I ever had the pleasure of working with."
Kelly played prisoner Bunny Warren in the BBC's Porridge between 1974 and 1978 and Nazi captain Hans Geering in the first four series of 'Allo 'Allo between 1982 and 1987. His other roles include the ITV sitcom Barbara and On the Up, in which he appeared alongside Dennis Waterman and Joan Sims.
Another part saw him play Hitler in 1993 prisoner of war TV comedy drama Stalag Luft, alongside Stephen Fry and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
Paying tribute on Twitter, Fry tweeted: "Very saddened to hear about Sam Kelly's death. He played a splendid Hitler".
Kelly also had a distinguished theatrical career which saw him take on roles at the National Theatre and Old Vic. But in February he withdrew from his part in Wicked owing to ill health.
Aaron Brown, editor of the British Comedy Guide website, said Kelly would be "forever be remembered as a favourite character by fans of 'Allo 'Allo, not least for his half-hearted 'tler' salute, and delivery of the 'drug in the jug' tongue-twister from the series two Christmas special - the sitcom's most famous single line".
The success of the show brought Kelly to the attention of millions of people around the world but he was a versatile and brilliant comedy performer and leaves behind a wide body of work, he added.
Natalie Anderson, who appears in TV soap Emmerdale, tweeted: "Totally devastated to hear of the sad news of my friend and 'Wizard' Sam Kelly's passing!!! A truly wonderful and incredible gentleman!"
And writing on Twitter before he was about to go on stage in the West End stage show Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Robert Lindsay said he would dedicate the performance to Kelly.
He said: "Feel so depressed about the amazing Sam Kelly's passing how do we manage a second comic musical tonight? we dedicate it to him RIP".
Sherlock actor Mark Gatiss tweeted: "Desperately sad news that the wonderful Sam Kelly has left us. Such a funny, talented man and one of the good guys. RIP Bunny Warren".


A 15-year-old girl has died of her injuries after allegedly being raped and set on fire at her home in Greater Noida, near the capital, Delhi.

Doctors said she had suffered 95% burn injuries on her body.
Police have arrested one man over the incident, senior police official Rakesh Yadav told BBC Hindi.
The suspect, Ajay Sharma, asked the girl to meet him on the terrace of her house, where he allegedly raped her and set her on fire, Mr Yadav said.
He added that a case of rape and attempted murder had been registered against Mr Sharma.
Security has been increased in Tigri village where the incident took place.
Mr Yadav said they suspected a "love triangle" at play, and added that further investigations were under way.


A man arrested over alleged threats made against Gina Miller - the woman behind the Brexit legal challenge - has been released on bail.

The 50-year-old man was detained in west London on Wednesday on suspicion of racially aggravated malicious communications. He has been bailed until mid-February.
The arrest follows a complaint made on 6 November relating to online threats.
Eight "cease and desist" notices were issued to individuals across the UK.
The Met Police advise recipients that continuing with their current actions or behaviour could result in police action.
Who is Gina Miller?
The Met said the Crown Prosecution Service advised in December that no further action would be taken against a 55-year-old man from Swindon who was also arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated malicious communications for online threats made to Ms Miller from 3 November onwards.
Ms Miller, a partner in an investment management firm, was the lead claimant in the legal fight to get Parliament to vote on whether the UK can start the process of leaving the EU.
She and her fellow claimants - including hairdresser Deir Dos Santos and the crowd-funded People's Challenge group - won their case at the High Court in November.
On Tuesday the government lost its appeal against the High Court's decision in the Supreme Court.
It means both Houses of Parliament will now have a vote on a bill to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty signalling the UK's intention to leave the European Union (EU).
That will start the process of two years of negotiations to redefine the UK's relationship with the EU.
A parliamentary bill paving the way for talks with the EU could be introduced as early as Thursday.


The government is to spend an extra £5.5m to support a delay-hit A&E department in Stoke-on-Trent.

Over a period of two days in October, 46 patients had to wait more than 12 hours at University Hospital North Midlands to be seen by medical staff.
The hospital said the money would be spent on diverting some patients to nearby Haywood Walk-In Centre.
Staff said the delays in treating patients were caused by "a combination of many factors".
One man, Alan Wrench, whose wife collapsed while waiting more than eight hours to be seen at the hospital, said he felt emergency cases needed to be categorised differently.
"We went in a queue and it was 06:00 before she actually saw a doctor," he said.
"My wife was in a lot of pain and I think they could have categorised patients differently. You were just in queue and you were seen in the order in which you arrived."
Clinical lead Ann Marie Morris said the extra resources would be spent on diverting 50 ambulances a month to the walk-in centre.
The centre's X-ray department will have its resources extended to cope with the extra patients.
"We need to manage the demand of patients coming through the front door," she said.
"Encouraging the public who don't necessarily need to come to the emergency department for their treatment would manage that demand."


Arsenal have signed Sweden right-back Jessica Samuelsson ahead of the 2017-18 Women's Super League One season.

The 25-year-old joins from Swedish side Linkopings, having also played for Australian outfit Melbourne Victory.
She was part of the Swedish squad that won silver at the 2016 Olympic Games.
"I've been impressed with her performances for a long time. She is recognised internationally as a strong and talented defender," manager Pedro Martinez Losa told Arsenal's website.


Cafodd Llinos Griffin neges gan ei brawd, Gareth, nos Sadwrn yn dweud ei fod wedi cloi ei hun mewn tŷ bach yn Borough, Llundain am ei fod yn ofni am ei fywyd.

Roedd ei brawd yn gofyn iddi gysylltu gyda'r awdurdodau i gael help.
Roedd Gareth yn un o nifer gafodd eu dal ynghanol yr ymosodiadau sydd wedi eu disgrifio gan yr heddlu fel rhai "terfysgol".
Fe ddaeth un o'r ymosodwyr mewn i'r bwyty gyda chyllell.
Neges destun gafodd Llinos i ddechrau.
"O'n i yn teimlo yn sâl...I feddwl mae mrawd i reit ynghanol y sefyllfa yma, mae jest yn hynod o frawychus."
Fe ffoniodd hi'r heddlu a siarad gyda swyddogion Heddlu De Cymru. Roedden nhw wedyn yn trio cysylltu gyda Heddlu'r Met.
Ar yr un pryd roedd hi'n anfon negeseuon at Gareth.
"O'n i jest yn adrodd yn ôl i'm mrawd i, jest yn dweud mae'r heddlu yn dweud bod ti yn neud y peth iawn.
"Arhoswch yn fanna, arhoswch yn saff, peidiwch dod allan tan mae'r heddlu yn cyrraedd. Arhoswch yn dawel, trowch ffôn chi ffwrdd. Ac mae'r heddlu ar y ffordd."
Mae'n dweud bod y profiad wedi bod yn "swreal".
"Pan mae rhywun ti'n caru mewn sefyllfa mor fregus a ti ddim cweit yn siŵr beth sydd yn digwydd, mae o jest yn uffernol o scary.
"Ti ddim yn gwybod be i wneud. Ti ddim yn gwybod sut maen nhw mynd i ymateb.
"O'n i ddim yn gwybod beth oedd y peth cywir i ddweud wrtho fo, i aros yna neu i fynd."
Roedd cael cyngor gan yr heddlu yn gysur meddai a gweld bod nifer o swyddogion o gwmpas yr ardal yn ceisio helpu'r cyhoedd.
Fe wnaeth hi siarad gydag o wedyn ar ôl iddyn nhw fynd i'r ysbyty.
"Mae o wedi bod yn lwcus. Mae o yn sylweddoli hynna a'r peth pwysig oedd gadael i bobl wybod bod nhw yn saff."


At least 17 soldiers have been killed in Pakistan after a train carrying hundreds of army personnel derailed from a bridge and plunged into a canal.

The army said four carriages derailed after part of the bridge collapsed near Wazirabad in Punjab province.
The cause of the collapse was not clear. Reports said the bridge had been built in the British colonial era.
Khawaja Saad Rafique, Pakistan's railways minister, suggested sabotage may have been involved in the accident.
"It seems like some other hand must be involved because derailment does not happen like this," he told local media.
Mr Rafique called the incident "unprecedented".
"It could either be a case of a blast or someone has tried to loosen the fish-plate on the track," he told Karachi's Geo TV.
The dead reportedly included a senior officer, his wife and daughter.
A preliminary report would be issued on Thursday night, followed by a more detailed report within 72 hours, he said.


Passengers are facing disruption as bus drivers in Dorset prepare to stage a five-day strike over "poverty" wages.

More than 110 members of the Unite union, based in Weymouth and Bridport, are set to walk out from 04:00 on Monday until 03:59 BST on Saturday.
Unite said it is angry at a 2.3% pay offer from First Group while it says drivers for the firm in Bristol have been given a 13% increase.
The operator said the action was "totally unnecessary".
The union says Weymouth and Bridport drivers earn Â£8.80 an hour while drivers in Yeovil are on Â£9.50 an hour and those at rival firms in Bournemouth and Poole earn nearly Â£2 an hour more.
Unite regional officer Bob Lanning said: "What we have here is a situation where the drivers in Weymouth and Poole are the poor relations, when compared with the pay of other drivers working for First Group.
"Our members regret the disruption to the public that will be caused by this strike, but they have been pushed against the wall with years of insulting pay increases for the responsible job that they do."
First Dorset, which is part of the First Group, said it had been in discussions with Unite for several months and an offer to use resolution service Acas is still on the table.
Marc Reddy, managing director of First Dorset, said: "This action is totally unnecessary and will cause great hardship to our customers who rely on our services daily to get them to work, to school or college, to attend hospital and doctors' appointments or job interviews."
The operator said contingency plans were being put in place but urged the union to "get back round the table".


A 78-year-old driver has died after his vehicle collided with two cars travelling in the opposite direction.

Two women were also taken to hospital after their cars were involved in the collision with the man's silver Skoda Octavia.
The crash happened on the A4058 Trehafod bypass in Hopkinstown, near Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff, at about 20:00 GMT on Tuesday.
Both the women, aged 31 and 46, were drivers in the other two cars.
South Wales Police said they were both taken to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital but their injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.


New school assessments to be taken by children across Scotland from next year are "not high stakes tests", according to Scotland's education secretary.

John Swinney sought to reassure parents and teachers as more details of the standardised assessments were revealed.
The online tests will take 50 minutes, they will not be marked by teachers and there will be no pass or fail.
Children in P1, P4, P7 and S3 will take the tests, covering reading, writing and numeracy from next year.
The Scottish government said the information produced by the tests would help teachers raise attainment amongst schoolchildren.
It stressed that the tests were not comparable to those taken south of the border and it deliberately avoided the phrase "national testing".
Amongst the key details it revealed were:
Mr Swinney said: "Teachers are best placed to make judgements on how children are doing in school and draw on a wide range of information - both formal and informal - to help them form a view.
"The new national standardised assessments...will be designed to be as straightforward as possible for teachers and children alike.
"These are not high stakes tests: there will be no pass or fail and no additional workload for children and teachers."
He said they would be an "important tool" for teachers who would be able to use their results to evaluate whether their class had achieved the appropriate Curriculum for Excellence standard for their age.
The tests will be developed and delivered by ACER International UK Limited - a wholly-owned subsidiary of the not-for-profit organisation, Australian Council for Educational Research.
Larry Flanagan, the general secretary of the EIS teachers union, said many of the union's earlier concerns had been addressed.
But he is still sceptical about the potential for the data from the tests to be used to produce league tables which compare the superficial performance of schools.
The government has made it clear it will not publish league tables.
"The concession for the teacher to choose when it's done is quite important for us as that stops it becoming an end-of-the-year exam diet," he said.
Mr Flanagan said he understood teachers would not necessarily have to test the whole of their class together - a move he welcomed.
He added: "We are being reassured by the messages surrounding assessment being there just as a contribution towards professional judgements. Some of the safeguards put in place are welcome."
Seamus Searson, general secretary of the SSTA union, said he still had a number of reservations.
Mr Searson said: "In a primary school, the class teacher would know the children across the curriculum. But in a secondary school, the risk is that assessing literacy and numeracy could end up as an additional burden just for English and Maths teachers.
"If there are going to be assessments in secondary schools, we would argue S2 would be a better time, before children start preparing for their national courses."
Mr Searson also expressed concerns that teachers could spend time preparing children for the tests - despite the assurances the government has given.


A government decision to close a fund that helps disabled people to live and work in the community has been ruled lawful by the High Court.

The Independent Living Fund (ILF) provides support for some 18,000 people and is worth £320m. The government plans to close it on 30 June 2015.
Delivering her ruling, Mrs Justice Andrews offered sympathy to those who would find it a "great disappointment".
The charity Scope said disabled people could be left without enough support.
The government says that changes to social care have called into question the need to have a separate funding stream through the ILF.
It argues that the vast majority of disabled people with care needs are already looked after through the adult social care system.
But chief executive of Scope, Richard Hawkes, said the care system was "on its knees" and the closure of the fund was "likely to lead to fewer disabled people being able to live independently".
He said: "Funding will be transferred to councils, but there will be no guarantee that the money will be used to support disabled people to live independently, or that former ILF users will receive the same levels of support, given the pressures on local authority finances."
Wheelchair user John Kelly, 45, from Wimbledon in south-west London, who was in court for Monday's ruling, described it as "bonkers".
He said: "I am absolutely gutted - not just for myself but for the thousands of people this decision will impact on."
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has previously warned that closure of the fund will "result in loss of dignity and independence for many ILF recipients".
It says that some 18,000 severely disabled people risk losing essential funding in breach of the UK's international commitments to support disabled people.
During a hearing at the High Court in October, David Wolfe QC, appearing for two severely disabled applicants in lead cases, argued that the work and pensions secretary had unlawfully failed to discharge his public sector equality duty under the 2010 Equality Act.
He said the claimants seeking judicial review were currently receiving payments in the range of £450 to £500 per week from the ILF to pay for support from personal assistants.
This support was critical to them being able to live independent lives in their own homes, rather than residential care, and to work and study, Mr Wolfe said.
The application for judicial review, dismissed by the judge on Monday, was the second legal battle over the ILF.
In November 2013, the Court of Appeal overturned a ruling from April 2013 that the decision was lawful.
However, the government later announced a fresh decision to close the fund, based on new equalities analysis by the Department for Work and Pensions, which was again challenged.


Wigan Athletic have been planning for their Championship return for three months, says chairman David Sharpe.

The Latics ensured an immediate return to English football's second tier with Saturday's 4-0 win at Blackpool.
Sharpe, 24, who is British football's youngest chairman, had previously said Wigan would "smash" League One.
"We have to do everything to be ready for the Championship but we've started that process as of three months ago," Sharpe told BBC Radio Manchester.
"I knew in my head we were the best team in the league and we would go up.
"Hopefully next season we'll continue the good times. We'll assess things in the summer but I believe in this group of players."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Wigan, who have lost just once since being beaten at home by Blackpool on 12 December, are all-but champions, having a three-point lead at the top and a significantly superior goal difference compared to second-placed Burton Albion.
Chris McCann scored Wigan's opener and then set Yanic Wildschut up for the first of his two goals before Will Grigg added a fourth to seal promotion in commanding fashion.
"Today I believe we have won the league," said Sharpe, who succeeded his grandfather Dave Whelan as chairman of the then Championship club in March 2015.
"It's unbelievable. It's a special day. It will live long in the memory."


Norwich City striker Dieumerci Mbokani says his wife saved his life after they were caught up in Tuesday's explosions at Brussels International Airport.

More than 30 people died in attacks at the airport and a metro station.
Mbokani was scheduled to travel to DR Congo and link up with their national team. He was outside the airport when his wife said to wait for the girlfriend of his cousin.
"There are miracles," he told La Derniere Heure.
"We were on the pavement outside the building. I was near the taxi rank, my wife was near the buses, some feet from the explosion.
"It was my wife who saved our lives. I wanted to go in earlier, but she said 'let's wait for [my cousin and De Graafschap player] Nathan Kabasele's girlfriend,' who was taking the same flight.
"She told me that she was arriving in a minute or two. We miraculously survived.
"Then I ran towards my wife, and to the Sheraton and towards the rear parking. I left my seven suitcases where they were.
"A taximan followed me with three cases, the other four were brought to my house on Wednesday."
Mbokani previously represented Belgian clubs Anderlecht and Standard Liege, and was travelling for two Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches over the next seven days.
He continued: "There was even an Anderlecht supporter who, despite a serious wound on his knee, came to find me to tell me what a great fan of mine he was. That touched me."


Japan's central bank has surprised markets by announcing an expansion of its monetary stimulus policy.

The Bank of Japan said it would increase its asset buying programme to 80 trillion yen ($726bn; Â£454bn) a year, up from the previous rate of 60-70 trillion yen.
Japan's economy is currently seeing weak growth and easing consumer prices.
The BOJ's move pushed the Nikkei share index up 4.8% to 16,413.76, its highest close for nearly seven years.
On the currency markets, the dollar rose 1.2% to 110.68 yen, the highest rate since January 2008.
The bank's decision to increase its stimulus measure comes in the same week that the US Federal Reserve ended its policy of quantitative easing.
The BOJ's move was made amid weak domestic demand following an April sales tax hike, and concerns that lower oil prices would affect consumer prices.
At a news conference following the central bank's meeting, BOJ governor Haruhiko Kuroda said it was a "critical moment for Japan to emerge from deflation".
The bank's programme is designed to stimulate the world's third largest economy by encouraging more lending, which in turn should see consumers spending more.
It also hopes to drive greater investment activity and boost inflation.
Japan has struggled with deflation, or falling prices, for more than 15 years - a situation which has led to stagnant economic growth.
Private consumption makes up some 60% of Japan's economic activity and deflation trends in the country have seen consumers hold onto their money in the hope of even lower prices later on.
A sales tax hike made in April may have had an adverse impact on the economy, too, hurting the nation's purchasing power.
In the April-to-June period, official data showed Japan's economy had contracted by 1.7%, compared to the earlier quarter.
Data released earlier on Friday showed that the nation's household spending had fallen more than expected in September and that annual core consumer inflation, stripping out the effects of April's sales tax, was 1.0%.
The BOJ's inflation target is 2%.
Mr Kuroda said that the bank's decision made today showed an "unwavering determination to end deflation".
The Friday afternoon announcement saw the yen fall against all its major peers, a result that Mr Kuroda said was positive for the nation's economy.
"When you look at underlying moves, not just oil but various commodity and food prices are falling," he said.
"That is offsetting some of the upward pressure on prices (from the weak yen)."
A weaker yen also helps Japan's exporters as it helps bring down the cost of Japanese goods sold abroad.
The BOJ's board only voted 5-4 in favour of the stimulus increase, and Mr Kuroda said there had been some doubt about whether it was appropriate to take additional steps.
"For now, I think we've done enough to respond to risks," he said.


The US government has pledged $48m (Â£32m) in aid to help ease the humanitarian crisis in Kyrgyzstan.

The US state department said the money would be spent on serving the needs of some 400,000 people displaced by the recent ethnic violence in the south.
Kyrgyzstan's interim authorities say as many as 2,000 people died in clashes between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks.
It is two weeks since violence began in the southern city of Osh. A state of emergency remains in force.
The authorities say that of the estimated 100,000 who fled across the border into neighbouring Uzbekistan nearly all have returned to their homes.
Many others have not, wary that more violence could be on the way.
The authorities are under pressure to keep security tight in the build up to a referendum on constitutional reform planned for Sunday.
Clearly not everything is going according to plan: the central election committee said six of its Uzbek workers were kidnapped briefly on Wednesday before being released unharmed.
In all this, it is important to remember the volatile political situation this country finds itself in only three months since President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was overthrown after days of protests.
The interim authorities - put to the test by the destabilising events of the last fortnight - now need to prove their worth by holding a peaceful referendum.
The West has tentatively backed the vote.


The families of victims of a loyalist gun attack have accepted a police apology after the weapon used in the murders was discovered in a museum.

Five Catholics were killed when the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) opened fire in Sean Graham's bookmaker's shop on Ormeau Road in February 1992.
Chief Constable George Hamilton met the families to say sorry on behalf of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
The families praised his apology, which they described as "heartfelt".
They said he explained that it did not happen on his watch as PSNI chief constable, but promised to co-operate with further inquiries into their case.
Police officers had previously told the relatives that the murder weapon had been  officially "disposed of" but last month, the BBC Panorama's programme revealed that it had turned as an exhibit in the Imperial War Museum in London.
The programme said that investigators given the task of re-examining paramilitary murders in Northern Ireland had found the gun on display in an exhibit on the Troubles.
The assault rifle was used in seven unsolved murders, five of them in the bookie's shop attack.
The weapon has now been removed from display and is undergoing further tests.
The victims of the Ormeau Road shooting included a 15-year-old boy, James Kennedy.
After the meeting with the Chief Constable, Billy McManus, whose father was also killed in the attack, said: "It was a heartfelt apology.  He did say in the meeting, he is a human being."
He added that firstly, Mr Hamilton acknowledged the "hurt" caused to the families by the manner in which they found out about the gun exhibit.
"He did give us a full commitment that he will back the Police Ombudsman and the third one was that, if you've broken the law in any part of collusion, the full force of the law is going to come down on you," Mr McManus added.
The meeting with the PSNI chief was facilitated by Relatives for Justice (RFJ).
RFJ spokesman Mark Thompson said Mr Hamilton made a "fulsome apology" and promised that the PSNI would co-operate fully with the ombudman's investigation into the case.


Plans for a Â£360m development in Belfast city centre - including new shops, apartments, a hotel, cafes and bars - have been given the green light.

Environment Minister Alex Attwood has approved the Royal Exchange project, which aims to redevelop an area between Royal Avenue and the Cathedral Quarter.
He said it was "tremendous news" for the economy and the environment.
The scheme, first announced in 2006, aims to regenerate run-down and semi-derelict parts of the city centre.
The 11 acre Royal Exchange development will be constructed in the area bounded by Royal Avenue, Donegall Street, Garfield Street and High Street.
It takes in the North Street Arcade, an architecturally significant shopping arcade which was extensively damaged by a major fire in April 2004.
By Kevin MageeBBC NI Business Correspondent
It is one thing getting approval - it is another getting the funds to build a development of this magnitude, especially when we have flat consumer spending and a depressed property market.
The plan includes 200 apartments when we already have a surplus of apartments in the city.
However, what planning permission does offer is a strategic way forward to develop what is a run down part of the city.
Any talk of new jobs in construction at this stage is premature.
What this announcement is really doing is clearing a planning hurdle for the future development in that area - it does not mean the wrecking ball and construction team moving into Donegall Street for some time yet.
A planning application for the development was finally submitted in October 2010.
The proposal includes the construction of more than 200 apartments, a 25-bedroom hotel, an arts centre, bars, cafes, offices, and parking space for 1066 vehicles.
It also provides up to 50,000 sq m  (539,000 sq ft) of new retail floorspace - almost half of which will be taken up by a single "anchor" department store.
The area was historically the centre of Belfast as the city developed in the late 1800s, but it has been in decline for years.
The Department of Environment (DOE) said the proposed development involves the demolition of a number of existing buildings but other listed buildings and facades would be restored.
It said the work will included the "reinstatement of the North Street Arcade rotunda and its facades".
Belfast's oldest public building - the Northern Bank building on Bridge Street - will also be restored and brought back into use under the plans.
In a statement, Mr Attwood said: "The proposal aims to create a new environment in the city and revitalise an area of Belfast that has been without meaningful development for a number of years.
"It is estimated that it will bring 3,000 much needed jobs - 1,000 for the construction phase and 2,000 jobs in retail and leisure once completed," the minister added.
However, given the economic climate and the depressed state of the Northern Ireland property market, it is unclear when building work on the project will get underway.
Andrew Irvine, the head of Belfast City Centre Management, said the development was being viewed as something that would take place "down the line a bit, timewise".
"It's not something that is going to start developing today, so we don't need to look at this in the light of the economy in 2012," he said.
Mr Irvine added that he believed that Stormont was "interested in continuing to assess the retail capacity of the city".
The Royal Exchange project is one of the biggest applications to come before planners in Northern Ireland.
It cost in the region of Â£1m to put together, runs to 11 volumes and it is understood it had to be delivered to planners in a van.
The company behind the proposed development is Leaside Investments, a consortium of two Northern Ireland firms, William Ewart and Snoddons.
The Dutch firm ING had been part of the consortium but withdrew some time ago.
In a statement on Wednesday, Leaside Investments said the minister's decision to approve its plannling application sent "a positive message to large retailers without a presence here that Belfast is open for business".
"We are pleased that the investment we have made, backed up by the hard work and professionalism of our development team over a number of years, is now beginning to take shape in the form of urban regeneration that can have a real, lasting and positive impact on Belfast."


IAAF president Lord Coe has denied a report he alerted UK Athletics (UKA) to allegations of bribes before the vote for the 2017 World Championships.

UKA boss Ed Warner said he was warned by a "very senior IAAF person" about envelopes of cash being handed out before the vote, which London won.
The Daily Mail claims two witnesses recall Coe warning the bid team.
Coe has repeatedly denied he knew about major corruption within athletics during his time as IAAF vice-president.
Now, following the latest accusations, the IAAF has been forced to issue a statement insisting Coe, who became president in August last year, had "no knowledge of bribes being offered or received".
The IAAF, which governs world athletics, and a number of its key officials have come under fire for their governance of the sport.
An independent World Anti Doping-Agency report recently claimed that "corruption was embedded" within the organisation.
The report's authors also suggested the bidding process for the World Championships should be investigated.
Coe led London's final presentation bid before it beat Doha in a 2011 vote for the right to host the 2017 championships.
The Qatari capital was subsequently awarded the 2019 event.
The Qatar Athletics Federation has always denied any wrongdoing during the voting process, but Warner told British MPS this week that the IAAF's ethics commission is looking into both Doha bids.
French prosecutors are already investigating the decision to award the 2021 World Championships to Eugene, Oregon.
The town, which has strong associations with sportswear giant Nike, for whom Coe was a paid ambassador until last month,  appears to have been awarded the rights to stage the event without a full bidding process.


Crowds of people have queued for tickets for a 1920s funfair which is to reopen after an Â£18m restoration.

Dreamland theme park in Margate - home to a Grade II* listed wooden Scenic Railway roller coaster - has been restored after an arson attack in 2008.
John Challis, who played Boycie in the BBC comedy Only Fools and Horses, exchanged memories with the crowd.
The show filmed in Margate in the 1980s with the characters riding on Dreamland's rollercoasters.
"I have always remembered it because it was special," said Challis.
"It was a jolly boys' outing - a bunch of hooligans got on a coach in London and came to Margate."
Dreamland's website crashed because of high demand as tickets went on sale for the park, which is to reopen on 19 June.
People in the queue said they had visited during their childhoods and wanted their own children to do the same.
The funfair, once home to Europe's largest big wheel, was bought by Thanet council through a compulsory purchase order in 2013.
Dreamland was one of the country's oldest amusement parks.
At one time, the 16-acre site held a zoo and miniature railway, a cinema, cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and a 2,000-capacity ballroom.
Work on the restoration of the Grade II* listed Scenic Railway ride began in September to replace all the wooden parts.
Most of the funding was granted by the Department for Culture Media and Sport's Sea Change programme, the Heritage Lottery Fund and Thanet District council.
Vintage fairground rides from around the UK have been restored and re-created for the new fun park, which will be run by the Dreamland Trust.
Classic sideshows, vintage cafes, restaurants and gardens have also been installed at the site.


A senior MP has called on Jeremy Corbyn to do more to curb the online abuse of colleagues, saying it is not enough for the Labour leader to condemn it.

Yvette Cooper, one of a number of MPs to have received death threats, told the Sunday Telegraph one Twitter user claimed they wanted to "behead" her.
Mr Corbyn, she said, should use his authority after his re-election to act.
The Labour leader has condemned "demeaning and corrosive" online abuse, saying it would not be tolerated.
Scores of Labour MPs have reported being abused online in recent months, prompting some to seek extra security measures, including in some cases police protection.
It comes after the death of Labour MP Jo Cox in the final weeks of the EU referendum campaign, who was stabbed to death in her constituency.
Ms Cooper, a former shadow home secretary, said Mr Corbyn and his allies should "back party staff when they try to tackle abuse".
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph on the first day of the Labour conference in Liverpool, she said: "Jeremy Corbyn has rightly condemned abuse many times. But when you are the leader of a party with a problem, especially when you have just been re-elected, you should use your authority to deliver action not just words."
The party leadership, she said, should "insist on higher standards and proper enforcement".
"No matter where it is from, abuse and intimidation entrench prejudice, silence debate and poison democracy. Even a small minority can drag everyone else down.
"Don't leave it to me to put proposals to the NEC after a year of calling for action - take a lead. I want them and all MPs to challenge supporters as well as opponents who try to use vitriol to silence others," she said.
Ms Cooper, who put forward a series of proposals to Labour's ruling NEC last week, also urged the party to stamp out other forms of abuse and the heckling of journalists.
"Frankly I don't care where in the party this kind of abuse comes from, it has to stop," she said.
"We cannot allow a minority within our party to create a climate of hostility. Good people must not be driven away or silenced. We should defend our values together."
Speaking on ITV's Peston on Sunday, she urged shadow chancellor John McDonnell to apologise to former Conservative MP Esther McVey for comments he made about her in 2014.
Mr McDonnell sparked a row by repeating the words "why aren't we lynching the bastard?" - which had been aimed at the former Wirral West MP by a constituent of hers - in reference to Ms McVey during a comedy night.
In a subsequent parliamentary debate, Mr McDonnell suggested Ms McVey was playing the victim and he hoped that the electorate would "remove the stain of inhumanity" at the 2015 general election.
Mr McDonnell has repeatedly insisted that, in doing so, he was not inciting violence against the former MP but "in parliamentary debate, you have to be honest about how you feel".
But Ms Cooper said this was not acceptable: "The idea of saying that a woman MP as Esther was at the time should be lynched. I mean it was just wrong.
"People sometimes say things that they regret - apologise for them. Because if you don't it sets a climate of hostility and abuse."
In his acceptance speech on Saturday, Mr Corbyn said the leadership campaign had been "partisan" and people had said things that they regretted.
But he insisted that any form of harassment, intimidation or bullying had no place in the party and that Labour had a "duty of care" to its members.
"That means intervening to stop personal abuse and also abiding by the principles of natural justice in the way we handle it. Politics is demeaned and corroded by intimidation and abuse. It is not my way and it is not the Labour way."


Oxford United manager Michael Appleton insists his side are still in with a chance of reaching the League One play-offs despite another home defeat.

A third successive loss in front of their own fans came against leaders Sheffield United on Tuesday.
"I keep saying that we've got eight games we need to win minimum," Appleton told BBC Radio Oxford. "But, the games are running out."
Oxford slipped to 11th and are nine points off the top six.
Twelve league games remain for the U's, who also have a trip to Wembley in the EFL Trophy final against Coventry City on 2 April.
"We are where we are for a reason," said Appleton as he reflected on his side's recent dip in home form.
"We're three or four players short of being able to compete with the that type of side (Sheffield United) most weeks in this division.
"The lads will pick themselves up and from an energy point of view, I can't ask any more from them."


West Ham scraped through to the Europa League third qualifying round but required penalties to get past Maltese side Birkirkara.

The Hammers led 1-0 after the first leg, but striker Fabrizio Miccoli slid in to equalise on aggregate.
In a bad-tempered game, both sides had a man sent off, the Hammers' James Tomkins for pushing Nikola Vukanac, and Mauricio Mazzetti for the Maltese side.
The Hammers scored all five spot-kicks, Diego Poyet notching the decisive one.
West Ham will now face Romanian side Astra - who knocked out Scottish Premiership side Inverness Caledonian Thistle - and still need to negotiate their way through that two-legged tie plus a play-off round to reach the group stages.
None of the club's seven summer signings played, while Enner Valencia and Winston Reid were also missing at Ta' Qali National Stadium.
Slaven Bilic's side struggled against Birkirkara - the Maltese Cup winners, ranked 360th on the Uefa coefficients list.
The hosts tackled hard and frustrated their opponents, with former Italy international Miccoli and midfielder Mark Noble both booked after a heated exchange.
Further controversy followed on half-time when centre-back Tomkins was sent off after grabbing Vukanac and throwing the defender to the ground as they jostled before a Hammers corner. The referee waited for the ensuing scuffle to clear before showing Vukanac a yellow card and Tomkins, who scored the only goal last week, red.
West ham created virtually nothing, although winger Matt Jarvis had a low drive smothered by goalkeeper Justin Haber - his team's only shot on target in the match.
At the other end, they were punished as Brazilian forward Liliu drilled in a low cross which Miccoli converted after beating Joey O'Brien to the ball.
The impressive defender Mazzetti was dismissed with 12 minutes remaining for a second booking and West Ham substitute Modibo Maiga had a late goal ruled out for offside.
But after struggling in the heat, the Londoners kept their cool during the penalty shootout.


A school governor and a charity volunteer are among people in Cumbria recognised in the New Year Honours list.

Keith Buckler, 82, from Ulverston, has been appointed MBE for services to the New English Orchestra and to charity through Rotary in Grange-over-Sands.
He has supported overseas Christian charities for more than 50 years.
A British Empire Medal was conferred upon Patricia Burns, 75, of Appleby, for services to education.
Mr Buckler has been a member of the British Council for European Christian Mission since 1973 and its chairman since 1986.
He has fundraised for the New English Orchestra - an ensemble of Christian musicians - as well as being part of the Cumbria and Lancashire Rotary District International Committee.
In recent years he has also been a voluntary medical worker in Nicaragua with the Peace and Hope Trust.
Mrs Burns has worked in a number of roles at Appleby Grammar School for 35 years and has been a governor for the last 14.
She was described as "a lynchpin to the local community".
Currently a senior midday supervisor, she leads a team which looks after more than 600 pupils.
Also on the honours list are forensic pathologist Dr William Lawler, of Penrith, who is appointed OBE for services to the police and criminal justice system, and John Graham, of Ambleside, who is appointed MBE for services to the Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team.


A man who stabbed his girlfriend's ex-partner to death following a "stupid" row has been jailed for life.

Gary Reilly attacked Paul McCarroll, 49, in the street in Parkhead, Glasgow, in February last year.
Reilly's partner Lorna Holland - the mother of the victim's child - told a jury how she tried to keep him alive after he had been struck.
The killer was sentenced to at least 19 years after being convicted of murder at the High Court in Glasgow.
The fatal attack happened outside Mr McCarroll's home in the city's Westmuir Street.
The court heard that Reilly, 46, turned up there with a bag of Miss Holland's belongings after she stayed at Mr McCarroll's flat following a row between the men.
The jury heard Mr McCarroll and Miss Holland had previously been in a relationship, but remained "good pals".
The victim went downstairs to speak to Reilly. CCTV caught the pair confronting each other before Reilly stabbed the former bus driver.
Miss Holland, 37, told the court she also eventually went onto the street and sobbed as she recalled tending to Mr McCarroll when realising he was hurt.
She told the court: "Paul was holding onto a pole - he was not really talking to me.
"He was just staring at me...then he slipped down the pole.
"I tried to give him CPR. I was shouting for help from people at a nearby pub.
"I was talking to him about our daughter. I just knew that something was not right and then an ambulance came."
Mr McCarroll never recovered after being rushed to hospital.
Reilly had denied the murder charge. He already had a lengthy list of crimes including a high court conviction for fireraising.
Judge Lady Stacey told him: "You must have had a knife with you when you went into Westmuir Street. You took a man's life as a result of some stupid quarrel."


The price of bitcoin has fallen more than 10% after the Hong Kong-based digital currency exchange Bitfinex said it had suffered a major hack.

The security breach led to the possible theft of bitcoin worth $65m (Â£49m).
Bitfinex told the Reuters news agency on Wednesday that nearly 120,000 bitcoin were stolen from its exchange platform.
All transactions on the virtual exchange have been suspended while the security breach is investigated.
In a statement on its website, Bitfinex said that it was "deeply concerned about the issue and we are committing every resource to try to resolve it".
The hack is one of the biggest thefts in bitcoin's history and is being treated as a "major deal" by many in the virtual currency community.
"Unfortunately, we continue to have vulnerabilities in the form of exchanges and wallets," former Singapore-based bitcoin broker David Moskowitz told the BBC.
"The vulnerabilities almost always occur on the exchange or wallet side and this is an area that continues to need improvement and more secure protocols, no different than when a bank gets robbed."
Securing bitcoin trading platforms has been a key challenge, with hacking and thefts seen as the biggest threats.
In 2014, the Tokyo-based Mt Gox trading exchange declared bankruptcy when hundreds of millions of dollars in bitcoins vanished or were stolen.
But Mr Moskowitz stressed that in spite of the latest alleged theft "the core protocol is extremely robust and has not been hacked".
He said while there would most likely be a price correction in bitcoin, he remained confident that it would continue to be an appealing alternative asset.


There are hopes that an RAF air show in Lincolnshire that was axed amid security concerns could return to another airbase in the county.

The annual show at RAF Waddington ran from 1995 and attracted more than 150,000 people a year.
But it was abandoned last year after protests at the base, which is the home of the RAF's Reaper drones.
The RAF Charitable Trust (RAFCT) has said the event could return next year at nearby RAF Scampton.
Andy Armstrong, the chief executive of the RAFCT, said there was "still an awful lot of detail to be ironed out".
"This will be a completely new, unique event and will have all of its own style to it," he said.
"It will be what you would expect and I would hope that the RAF display assets would all be available.
"We would invite foreign air force participation and also planes in private hands as well."
RAF Scampton is located five miles (8km) north of Lincoln and is the home to the Red Arrows aerobatic team.
During World War Two, Lancaster bombers flew from the base on the 1943 Dambusters raid to destroy the German dams in the Ruhr valley with "bouncing bombs". Out of 133 crew, only 77 returned.

Passengers on a Flybe flight from Edinburgh had to be evacuated after the plane's landing gear collapsed during touchdown at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.

Emergency services were called to the scene following the incident.
The plane, with 59 passengers on board, ended up leaning on one side with its wing touching the runway.
Flybe said no-one had been injured in the incident which happened at about 17:00 local time (16:00 GMT).
Schiphol Airport tweeted: "The landing gear of a Flybe airplane collapsed during touchdown.
"All passengers are brought to the terminal by bus at the moment.
"No people are injured. Flight operation is up and running again."
Flybe said in a statement: ""Flybe can confirm that there has been an incident involving one of our aircraft, flight no BE1284...We can confirm there are no injuries and all passengers have been bussed to the airport terminal.
"Our primary concern is for the welfare of passengers and crews."
The airline's chief executive Christine Ourmieres-Widener added: "Our highest priority is the safety and well-being of our passengers and crew.
"Our pilots regularly train for situations such as this in simulators at our training academy in Exeter. Our cabin crew are also fully trained to deal with these situations professionally.
"We have sent a specialist team to offer assistance to the investigation and we will now do all we can to understand the cause of this incident"
It was the second incident of the day involving a Flybe aircraft.
Earlier, a Flybe flight from Glasgow to Birmingham was forced to return to Glasgow Airport after a technical fault meant the pilot had to shut down one engine.
A spokesman for Flybe said: "Flybe can confirm that BE783 - Glasgow to Birmingham returned to Glasgow Airport following a technical fault that resulted in the captain electing to shut down the number one engine as a safety precaution.
"The pilot followed all required procedures and the aircraft landed safely without incident."
The plane was met by emergency vehicles when it landed. No-one was injured in the incident.


Landlords are earning £5.6bn a year by renting out unsafe homes which fail to meet legal standards, a report says.

The Citizens Advice study says 740,000 households in England live in privately rented homes which present a severe threat to tenants' health from problems like damp and rat infestations.
Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said: "Rogue landlords are putting profits before safety."
The government said it had given councils new powers to tackle them.
The report, A Nation of Renters, says that among these 740,000 households are 510,000 children while 180,000 of them have a disabled resident.
And it says landlords are receiving £5.6bn a year on rent for homes with category 1 hazards - the most severe - which includes £1.3bn in housing benefit.
The report also says:
Ms Guy added: "The government has rightly said it wants to tackle the country's housing crisis - it must make targeting dodgy landlords, giving tenants better rights and driving up standards a major part of that effort."
Citizens Advice says there are now more than a million families raising children in privately rented homes in England - three times higher than a decade ago.
It also says private renters are under-protected and that taking court action against a landlord can be a lengthy, complicated and expensive process.
The charity recommends that:
The report is part of Citizen Advice's Settled and Safe campaign.
In the last year more than 80,000 people asked the charity for advice regarding a problem with a privately rented home.
The campaign called for an end to retaliatory evictions - where landlords unfairly evict tenants who have raised problems - which will be made illegal later this year.
Housing Minister Brandon Lewis said: "No tenant should expect to live in unsafe housing which is why we have already introduced a range of powers for councils to tackle rogue landlords backed by £6.7 million of government funding.
"Tenants can also access our 'How to Rent' guide and model tenancy agreement so tenants and landlords alike are clear of their rights and responsibilities."
And he added: "The majority of landlords provide decent well maintained homes and unnecessary and excessive regulation on the private rented sector, would push up prices and restrict choice for tenants."


Shares of Japanese airbag manufacturer Takata have risen on reports it will settle a lawsuit with US regulators.

The firm is expected to pay up to $1bn (Â£822m) and plead guilty to criminal wrongdoing over faulty airbags, which have been linked to at least a dozen deaths and more than 100 injuries.
Most major carmakers have been affected by the fault, with around 100 million Takata airbags recalled globally.
Takata shares closed almost 17% higher in Tokyo.
Takata has acknowledged some of its airbag inflators exploded with too much force and sprayed metal shrapnel into the car.
Takata has not disclosed the total cost of the global recall, but there have been multiple reports it is working on a restructuring deal and potential bankruptcy protection.
The outgoing US administration is keen to clear several of its major investigations before President Barack Obama leaves office.
US authorities have announced several large settlements involving in recent days, including against Volkswagen and Fiat Chrysler.


The UK should be careful with its plans to raise the National Living Wage, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

The OECD said "caution" was needed in the roll-out of the policy, given its possible impact on employment.
In the Autumn Statement, Chancellor Philip Hammond pledged to raise the wage to £7.50 an hour next April.
The OECD also forecast that the UK would have one of the lowest growth rates among G20 countries by 2018.
The National Living Wage was introduced by Chancellor George Osborne in his Budget in July 2015.
It came into effect in April this year, and was set at a rate of £7.20 an hour for workers aged 25 and over, with the aim of increasing it to £9 an hour by 2020.
The UK's Office for Budget Responsibility estimated it would give a pay rise to 1.3 million workers this year.
The OECD said the UK's labour market had been "resilient", although job creation had moderated recently.
"Real wages have been growing at a time of low inflation, but the fall of the exchange rate has started to increase price pressures," it said.
"Caution is needed with the implementation of the policy to raise the National Living Wage to 60% of median hourly earnings by 2020.
"The effects on employment need to be carefully assessed before any further increases are adopted, especially as growth slows and labour markets weaken."
The organisation's stance echoes the widespread claims of business organisations in the 1990s that the introduction of the UK's national minimum wage - which started in 1999 - would lead to widespread job losses.
Those fears proved to be groundless, with the number of people in employment rising from 27 million then to nearly 32 million now.
The OECD says the world economy has been stuck in a low growth trap for five years.  It says government spending and tax policies could be used to provide a boost.
The report expects action on these lines from the administration of President-elect Donald Trump in the United States and predicts that will result in a modest boost beyond US borders.
It also suggests that other countries could afford to take similar steps.
But the OECD says that any benefit could be offset if countries resort to measures that restrict trade to protect their own industries.
The OECD predicts that the UK's economy will grow by 1% in 2018, slower than both Germany (1.7%) and France (1.6%).
However, the organisation has raised its UK growth forecasts for this year and 2017.
It now predicts the UK's economy will expand by 2% this year, compared with an earlier forecast of 1.8%, while in 2017 it has lifted the growth forecast to 1.2% from 1.0%.
The OECD said the upward revision was specifically because of Bank of England action and the depreciation in sterling since the Brexit vote.
Looking ahead, the organisation warned that the UK's unemployment rate could rise to more than 5% because of weaker growth.
It also predicted a sharp rise in inflation as the pound's slide against the dollar and euro starts to be reflected in prices in the shops.
"The unpredictability of the exit process from the European Union is a major downside risk for the economy," it said.
The OECD's forecast for growth in the US has risen since the election of Donald Trump as the country's next President.
It revised its prediction for 2016 up to 1.5% from 1.4%, and next year's estimate to 2.3% from 2.1%. In 2018 it is forecasting 3% growth.

Social media users are up in arms about a milk substitute that appears to have harmed dozens, and possibly hundreds, of preschool children in southern China.

Users of the popular Weibo and WeChat platforms are sharing pictures of toddlers with swellings, nosebleeds and fever in the Guangxi region.
They say the ailments are the result of nurseries feeding the milk substitute to children.
Officials strenuously deny there are problems with the product but this has only prompted social media users to accuse the authorities of trying to hush-up the affair.
'Zhang Rong' uploaded pictures to the mobile messenger app WeChat from a nursery in Liuzhou, Guangxi.
"In Liuzhou, dozens of sinister nursery personnel have given children three harmful, unknown products instead of milk over a period of time," she said.
"The children have suffered a variety of symptoms," she added, sharing pictures of a child with blood pouring out of his nostrils.
The image was uploaded by Song Lingge No12 to the Sina Weibo microblog and shared more than 5,000 times.
Her post prompted other users to share pictures of other, similarly affected children.
Liuzhou-based Suya shared pictures of a child with swollen eyes and a fever.
Another user from the region, SmallUniverse Explosion, uploaded pictures of a third child, and pictures of what appear to be protest banners outside the school.
The affair has had little coverage in China's mainstream media.
Independent magazine Caijing and the state-owned Global Times say an unlicensed "dairy" supplied the milk substitute to 29 nurseries, and that more than 10,000 individual containers were seized.
"Such a bad thing; how is this not trending?" social media user La Wule asked.
"If the government does not handle this correctly... this tragedy will continue to repeat itself," said Chouqin123, adding that such scandals had long been a problem in China.
In 2008, hundreds of thousands of children suffered kidney damage because of traces of melamine in infant formula.
Four years earlier, fake formula resulted in the deaths of 12 infants.
Denials by Guangxi official that harmful substances have been distributed only serve to further frustrate social media users.
China News Service agency reports that tests for 13 substances "including arsenic, lead, copper, benzoic acid and protein... detected no toxic and hazardous substances, or illegal additives".
The report suggests that problems arose because the supplier had not complied with recommended protein levels.
Social media posts using the hashtag #MilkProblemFlowsIntoPreschools have so far received more than 2m reads. Many of them criticise the authorities for "silencing" the scandal.
The Shanxi Medical Students Association asks: "Are you ready to continue silencing it?", adding that it is likely that "thousands" of students have been affected in the region.
OLST agrees, saying, "This is definitely not limited to 29 nurseries."
And LiuJunL adds that "microblogging is more effective than the police" in uncovering the truth.

Steve Cotterill has joined QPR manager Harry Redknapp's backroom team in a short-term coaching role.

The former Nottingham Forest manager, 48, will work alongside Redknapp, assistant manager Kevin Bond and first-team coach Joe Jordan.
A QPR spokesman said it was "an open-ended arrangement" with no fixed timescale.
Cotterill, who has managed six clubs, was sacked by Forest in July 2012 after nine months in charge.
QPR, who were without a win this season in the Premier League before Redknapp took over in November after the departure of Mark Hughes, have since secured nine points from nine matches, including a shock 1-0 win at Chelsea on 2 January.
"Steve Cotterill has just come in on a short-term deal to help us out. He's bright and has got something to offer," said Redknapp.
"He'll spend his time with the rest of the backroom staff. We need as many people helping us out as possible."
Cotterill began his career at Cheltenham, leading them out of the Conference in 1999 and then to promotion to League One three years later.
He had a short spell as Stoke boss and was then assistant to Howard Wilkinson at Sunderland before spending three years at Championship side Burnley.
He led Notts County to the League Two title in 2010 during a three-month stint at Meadow Lane, before taking over at Portsmouth in June of that year.
Pompey finished 16th in the Championship in Cotterill's one full season in charge before he replaced Steve McClaren at Forest, helping the club avoid relegation by finishing 19th but leaving in July last year following the takeover by the Al Hasawi family.


South Africa has condemned Nigeria's decision to recall its ambassador over a spate of attacks against foreigners.

It called the step "unfortunate and regrettable" and said it "would be curious for a sisterly country to want to exploit such a painful episode".
At least seven people have died over a month of attacks on foreigners and foreign-owned property in South Africa.
Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini has been blamed for sparking the attacks with comments about foreign workers.
Soldiers were deployed to flashpoints last week to prevent more violence.
Some blamed the attacks - which centred on Durban and Johannesburg - on unemployment and poor political leadership.
Thousands were displaced, with many Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Malawians and others returning home and others taking refuge in temporary government-operated shelters.
Some governments complained that South Africa was failing to do enough to protect foreign nationals, though it now insists it has quelled the violence.
Nigeria has summoned Acting High Commissioner Martin Cobham along with Deputy High Commissioner Uche Ajulu-Okeke. "for consultation" over the "ongoing xenophobia", Minister of Foreign Affairs Aminu Wali said in a statement carried by media on Saturday.
The statement acknowledges that South African President Jacob Zuma has condemned the attacks.
In its response, South Africa's Department of International Relations and Co-operation points out that "a government resorts to such an extraordinary diplomatic step to express outrage at actions or behaviour of another government.
The statement says South Africa has not blamed Nigeria "for the deaths and more than nine (9) months delay in the repatriation of the bodies of our fallen compatriots" in attacks by Boko Haram militants.
The statement insists that the South African government and citizens have been "decisive and unequivocal in condemning and rejecting the attacks on foreign nationals" and insists that "through our interventions, relative calm and order has been restored".
On Friday, President Zuma met over 50 leaders of organisations representing foreign nationals in South Africa for talks about how to avert any repeat of the attacks.
Next week, the South African parliament is to be suspended to allow deputies to press the anti-xenophobia message in their home constituencies.


Wilfried Bony has pulled out of the Ivory Coast squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone next week because of a leg injury, the Ivorian Football Federation confirmed on Saturday.

Bony suffered a cut on his leg in training on Thursday and did not play for his Premier League club Manchester City in Saturday's win over Watford.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini said on Friday that the striker would be out of action for between seven and 10 days.
Ivory Coast's Group I qualifier against Sierra Leone is on 6 September in Lagos.
Bony's City team mate Yaya Toure was left out when the Ivorian squad was named on Thursday, with coach Michel Dussuyer saying the 32-year-old midfielder wanted time to consider his future in international football.
The Ivorian captain appeared to suffer from the physical exertions of competing for his country last season, notably when Ivory Coast won the 2015 Nations Cup  tournament in Equatorial Guinea.
He returned to Manchester with a marked dip in form, but this season has looked refreshed, helping City maintain a perfect start to the new Premier League campaign  with four wins out of four.


The leader of India's governing Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, has made her first public appearance after returning from the US following surgery for an undisclosed medical condition.

Mrs Gandhi attended a prayer meeting to mark the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, India's revered independence hero.
Mrs Gandhi holds no government post but holds enormous political power.
The 64-year-old Italian-born politician is seen as a key decision-maker in the government.
Correspondents say the Indian government faced serious problems during her month-long absence.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government was severely criticised for mishandling anti-corruption protests in August by social activist Anna Hazare.
Many commentators said that if Mrs Gandhi had been in Delhi, she would have handled the situation better.
The party has consistently refused to comment on the nature of the illness or where she went for surgery.
But media reports have suggested she was treated at a specialist cancer hospital in New York.
Mrs Gandhi is the widow of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. She nominated Manmohan Singh to the prime minister's post in 2004 but is frequently portrayed as being more powerful than him.
She is at the head of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, which has ruled India for most of the time since independence in 1947.
Her son and MP Rahul Gandhi is tipped as a future prime minister.


Prince Charles has paid tribute to the "personal sacrifice" of Britain's servicemen and women in a Christmas message to the armed forces.

Speaking to Forces TV and BFBS Radio, he praised their "professionalism" and "cultural sensitivity".
He spoke of his admiration for those who face "great danger" to protect the country.
Almost 23,000 military personnel have been stationed or deployed abroad over Christmas.
There are almost 14,000 across Europe - including just over 3,000 in Cyprus - 1,170 across North Africa and the Middle East and about 1,000 in the Falklands.
About 870 are involved in the campaign to counter so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The Prince of Wales said service personnel would face many tasks over the festive period, some of which would "put our service people in great danger as they carry out their challenging duties".
He said: "I am delighted to have this opportunity to send you all a Christmas message, for while many of the current news headlines around the world appear rather grim, they have reminded us all of the vital importance of the armed forces.
"Sometimes it would appear that there is no real threat facing Britain and that therefore defence can perhaps seem somewhat irrelevant.
"However, the extent of current global deployments of the UK's armed forces only goes to highlight the continued, essential role of the armed forces in today's society."


Munster kept the pressure on Pro12 leaders Ospreys as they left it late to seal victory against Welsh region Cardiff Blues.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Steve Shingler's two penalties sent the Blues in with a three-point lead at the break while they went ahead when Aled Summerhill scored the game's first try.
Francis Saili touched down as the visitors rallied late on, with Rory Scannell kicking a drop goal.
Conor Oliver crossed for the visitors late on to seal victory.
The defeat means Cardiff Blues' hopes of a top six finish suffered a blow as they remain in eighth in the Pro12.
Munster move up to second thanks to the win and are now a point behind Ospreys, with Leinster still to play Scarlets on Saturday.
The hosts' task could have been made much harder when Willis Halaholo was sin-binned for a high tackle on Andrew Conway just after the break, but Summerhill crossed moments later.
With Wales retaining their Six Nations players in hooker Kristian Dacey and wing Alex Cuthbert, Matthew Rees and Summerhill stepped up with the latter making an impact in the second half.
Cardiff Blues: Matthew Morgan; Aled Summerhill, Willis Halaholo, Steven Shingler, Tom James; Gareth Anscombe, Lloyd Williams (capt); Corey Domachowski, Matthew Rees, Anton Peikrishvili, George Earle, Jarrad Hoeata, Macauley Cook, Josh Navidi, Nick Williams.

Sam Russell saved a late penalty to secure victory for Forest Green at Braintree in the National League.

Keanu Marsh-Brown's second goal in two games was enough as he broke the deadlock, just when it looked like Braintree might survive through to the interval.
With 19 minutes to go the hosts had a golden opportunity to earn a point but Russell got down well to his left to deny Chez Isaac from the penalty spot.
Mark Cooper's side remain second in the table, one point behind leaders Dagenham, while Braintree stay 22nd.

Andrew Crofts says his ambition to play at Euro 2016 is part of the reason for his loan move to Gillingham.

Last week, the 31-year-old Brighton midfielder was named in the Wales squad for their upcoming friendlies, over two years after his last call-up.
"Wales manager Chris Coleman said to have a better chance of going in the summer he'd like to see me playing regularly," Crofts told BBC Radio Kent.
"I wasn't guaranteed that with Brighton, so it was a tough decision."
Crofts has featured 18 times for the Seagulls, who are second in the Championship, this season but his last outing came in the defeat by Cardiff on 20 February.
The former Norwich man has won 27 caps for Wales, with the last of those coming against Serbia in September 2013.
However, he could add to those in the friendlies against Northern Ireland and Ukraine during the international break.
"With the Euros coming up for Wales it was important for me to get some games under my belt before the end of the season," he added.
"After speaking to Chris, my place isn't guaranteed even if I play, but it gives me the best opportunity."
Crofts began his career at Gillingham and has returned to Priestfield Stadium until the end of the campaign, although Brighton have a 28-day recall clause as part of the deal.
He scored 19 goals in 191 games in his first stint at the Kent club and he hopes he can help the Gills, who are fourth in League One, win promotion to the Championship.
"This year I have got three massive goals; Brighton to get promoted, Gillingham to get promoted and a place at the Euros," he said.
"I am going to work as hard as I can to achieve those things. I'll give it everything I have got."


Uber's chief executive could be forced to take a leave of absence under changes being considered by the firm, reports say.

The company's board met on Sunday but has not released any details on Mr Kalanick's future yet.
The board also voted on a review of its policies and corporate culture by former US Attorney General Eric Holder.
The review was instigated in February after former Uber engineer Susan Fowler made claims of sexual harassment.
Uber confirmed to the BBC that "the board unanimously voted to adopt all the recommendations of the Holder Report.  The recommendations will be released to the employees on Tuesday."
It has not been confirmed what those recommendations are. It is possible that Mr Kalanick could take time off from Uber and then return to a role with less authority, or remain as chief executive but face more scrutiny, the Reuters news agency reported.
The New York Times reported that one of Mr Holder's recommendations was that Emil Michael, Uber's senior vice-president of business and a close confidant of Mr Kalanick, should leave the company.
The board meeting comes just days after Uber said it had fired more than 20 people, and was taking other actions against staff, for issues including sexual harassment and bullying.
If Mr Michael does leave it would be the latest high-profile departure from Uber.
Last week Uber's finance chief, Gautam Gupta, said he was leaving, following New York general manager, Josh Mohrer, and the head of Uber's self-driving unit, Anthony Levandowski, out of the door.
Mr Kalanick has earned a reputation as an abrasive leader and was criticised earlier this year after being caught on video berating an Uber driver.
He said in response to the video: "I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up."
Uber board member Arianna Huffington said in March that Mr Kalanick needed to change his leadership style from that of a "scrappy entrepreneur" to be more like a "leader of a major global company".
The board has been seeking to recruit a chief operating officer to assist the chief executive.
Some investors are concerned at the power Mr Kalanick has over Uber because of the number of voting shares he controls.
San Francisco-based Uber is valued at nearly $70bn (Â£55bn) but is yet to make a profit.


The latest jobs figures for Northern Ireland are showing evidence of a slowdown in the economy.

Unemployment fell at a reduced pace in 2016, compared to 2015.
Despite this longer-term trend, the number of people claiming unemployment-related benefits dropped by 800 in December.
This is the ninth monthly decrease in a row. Data published through the Department for the Economy shows the jobless total now stands at 32,700.
Economy Minister Simon Hamilton said the figures contain "positive messages".
The unemployment rate increased slightly in the quarter between last September and October to 5.6%.
The UK rate meanwhile decreased to 4.8%.
In 2016, 5,900 people left the unemployment register, compared to 11,100 in 2015.


A 55-year-old man has died following a crash between a car and a van on a major trunk road through Dumfries and Galloway.

The accident happened on the A75, two miles east of Castle Douglas, at about 15:35 on Wednesday.
The victim, who was from Dalbeattie, was the car driver. The 46-year-old van driver, from Dumfries, was taken to hospital with leg injuries.
The road was closed in both directions for a number of hours.
A diversion was set up via the A711, through Dalbeattie.
Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.


Only seven years ago, the very idea that an international climate agreement would come into force today looked hopeless.

In 2009, world leaders met in Copenhagen but got nowhere.
I was among the last to leave that summit and delegates were in tears. The glass roof of the conference centre was dark with snow.
But since then, a remarkable set of changes has allowed the Paris Agreement to take shape.
Paris climate deal enters force as focus shifts to action
UN review says carbon plans fall well short of climate goals
For a start, the world's two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, China and US, jointly decided to make a serious push.
For President Obama, this has always been a priority. And for China the new middle class is demanding an end to the toxic pollution smothering the biggest cities.
And that's spurred another shift: renewable energy is falling in price.
Out in the deserts of western China, along the ancient Silk Road, I've seen for myself new forests of wind turbines. Recently, China has planted two of them every hour.
The Chinese push for renewable energy is the largest the world has ever seen. And look at the global figure for solar panels installed last year - it was half a million every day.
A third big change is the involvement of leading companies.
A decade ago, it was rare for me to get a corporate press release making a green boast. Now my inbox is bursting with them.
On Friday, 10 oil companies announced a one-billion-dollar fund for low-carbon technology - something inconceivable not long ago but, let's be clear, the sum is dwarfed by the money spent developing new sources of oil.
So will the Paris Agreement get anywhere? On the one hand, it doesn't oblige any government to cut their greenhouse gases.
But, on the other, each country's efforts will be scrutinised every five years.
And although the agreement has no teeth, it does represent something unique: the first time that every nation on the planet has signed up to try to head off the worst effects of global warming.


Pace bowler Lasith Malinga is set to make his comeback from a year out of international cricket after being named in Sri Lanka's Twenty20 squad to tour Australia later this month.

The tourists will play three T20 internationals from 17-22 February.
Malinga, 33, has not played a competitive game since February 2016 when a knee injury ruled him out of the following month's World Twenty20.
He returned to training in September but suffered further setbacks.
A bout of dengue fever scuppered hopes that he might return for the limited-overs leg of Sri Lanka's recent tour of South Africa.
With an idiosyncratic, slingy bowling action capable of delivering a devastating yorker, Malinga made a huge impression on the international scene after his 2004 debut.
He helped Sri Lanka reach the finals of the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, and 2009 and 2012 World T20s, although they were losing finalists on each occasion.
Malinga took over as Sri Lanka's Twenty20 captain midway through the 2014 World T20 in Bangladesh, and lifted the trophy after they beat India in the final, but he stepped down as skipper last March.
He retired from Test cricket in 2011, citing a "long-standing degenerative condition" which left his right knee unable to stand up to the rigours of five-day cricket.
With captain Angelo Mathews still injured, Upul Tharanga will continue to lead the Sri Lanka side down under.
Sri Lanka T20 squad for Australia: Upul Tharanga (capt), Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Asela Gunaratna, Chamara Kapugedara, Nuwan Kulasekara, Lasith Malinga, Kusal Mendis, Dilshan Munaweera, Sachith Pathirana, Seekkuge Prasanna, Lakshan Sandakan, Vikum Sanjaya, Dasun Shanaka, Milinda Siriwardana, Isuru Udana.


Seven regional newspapers are to close, publisher Trinity Mirror has announced.

Up to 50 jobs are set to be lost as the titles become online-only, but the company said 12 new digital roles will be created.
The Reading Post, getreading and The Wokingham and Bracknell Times will close in Berkshire in December.
The Surrey Herald, Surrey Times and Wokingham Informer will also close as well as the Harrow Observer in west London.
Simon Edgley, managing director of Trinity Mirror Southern, said it was a "bold" move to focus on their websites and a digital-only operation.
"Decisions that impact our staff are never easy to make but they are absolutely necessary if we are to continue our transformation into a modern multiplatform publishing operation," he said.
In Berkshire, about 17 editorial, three administrative and six commercial roles will be lost and about 10 new digital editorial roles and two digital commercial roles will be created.
In Surrey and west London there will be a reduction of about 24 roles across its editorial and commercial departments.
Mr Edgley said: "This is a bold digital-only publishing transformation that will re-establish us as a growing media business that delivers the best quality journalism to our digital-savvy audience.
"We wholeheartedly believe that the future of our business here in Berkshire is online and this is an important and pioneering step that might, in time, be applicable to other existing markets or indeed new ones."
The Reading Post, Surrey Herald and Surrey Times will close on 17 December; The Wokingham and Bracknell Times, Harrow Observer and Woking Informer on 18 December; and getreading on 19 December.


A list of 10 alleged fraudsters who are accused of owing £20m between them has been published by police in the UK.

It includes a Bollywood film producer accused of a £4.5m fraud, and a Nigerian alleged to have been in a gang that stole more than £12m from the NHS.
The list was drawn up by City of London Police and the National Crime Agency as part of a new crackdown on fraud.
Figures to be published this week are expected to show fraud is the most prevalent crime in England and Wales.
Bollywood film producer Sandeep Arora, 42, from Beckton, east London, is accused of claiming  £4.5m in VAT and film tax rebates for movies that either did not exist or with which he had no involvement.
He is known as Karan Arora in Bollywood circles, police said, and is currently believed to be in India.
Alex McKenzie, 33, from London, is accused of targeting victims using the gay social networking app Scruff, gaining their trust by claiming to work for MI6.
He is alleged to have taken out credit cards, bank accounts and loans in the names of two former lovers and the parent of one of his partners, defrauding them of a total of £300,000 between November 2014 and October 2015. Police believe he is now in the US.
Bayo Lawrence Anoworin, 41, from Lagos, Nigeria, is accused of being part of an organised crime group that defrauded NHS trusts in the UK and Guernsey of a total of £12m and laundered the money between 2011 and 2012.
He has connections to Abbey Wood and Thamesmead, in south-east London and Chatham in Kent, police said.
The other people on the list are:
The compilation of the list is the result of a new task-force, launched by the government in February in response to the growing problem of fraud and cyber-crime.
The taskforce brings together law enforcement agencies, the financial sector and the government.
Donald Toon, director of the NCA's economic crime command, said: "The annual losses to the UK from fraud are estimated to be more than £190bn.
"Behind this headline figure lie the actions of criminals like the wanted fraudsters highlighted in this appeal, who have caused distress and loss to people and businesses up and down the country."
The Crime Survey of England and Wales, which is published on Thursday, is expected to show that fraud is the most prevalent crime in the UK.
Preliminary figures released in October 2015 found that there had been 5.1 million incidents of fraud in England and Wales in the previous year, affecting an estimated one in 12 adults and making it the most common form of crime.
Last month a report estimated the annual cost of fraud in the UK to be £193bn.


A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after police said a car was driven at pedestrians in a County Durham town.

No-one was hurt in the incident, which police said happened in the Little Eden area of Peterlee on Tuesday afternoon.
A 26-year-old local man was later arrested after a five-hour stand-off with officers at an empty house in the town's Barsloan Grove.
Durham Police said the property had suffered "significant damage".
A force spokesman said a forensic examination of the house was being carried out.


Hundreds of cyclists have staged a "die-in" protest in central London to raise concerns about road safety.

Bicycles were wheeled down Whitehall to the Treasury by campaigners calling for increased government spending to protect cyclists and pedestrians.
Five people - three cyclists and two pedestrians - died on London's streets in the past week.
The Department for Transport said it was committed to reducing the number of deaths and casualties among cyclists.
Nine cyclists died in London in 2016.
Protesters have also been calling for a reduction in London's air pollution.
In front of the Treasury, campaigners laid down their bikes and dropped on to the wet pavement for a minute's silence.
Co-founder of campaign group Stop Killing Cyclists Donnachadh McCarthy said: "We have had enough of the breadcrumbs - we need real spending.
"We have had two tiny superhighways built, but they have been a huge success.
"They are the germs of a revolution which should spread all across London."
The campaigners want the chancellor to increase ring-fenced infrastructure expenditure on cycling and walking to 10% of the transport budget.
Many attending the demonstration also wore gas masks in protest at the worsening air pollution.
One sign read: "We are all canaries in London's toxic air."
Ben Wales, 32, died after colliding with a tipper truck in North Woolwich Road, Silvertown, east London, on Thursday afternoon.
Anita Szucs, 30, died after an apparent hit-and-run on Bounces Road, Enfield, on Monday while architect Karla Roman, 32, was killed in a crash with a coach on Whitechapel High Street, Tower Hamlets, on the same day.
A Department for Transport spokesman said: "Britain has some of the safest roads in the world but we are committed to reducing the number of cyclists killed and seriously injured."
They said that on top of a THINK! campaign to improve cycle safety they were spending "Â£300m on cycling funding in this Parliament" and more than Â£7bn improving road surfaces.
