London 2012 has been the greenest Olympics ever, the commission set up to monitor the environmental impact of the Games has announced.

The independent Commission for a Sustainable London 2012 said recycling and regeneration had been a success.
But it said much more could be done to minimise the impact of future Olympic Games on people and the planet.
Commission chairman Shaun McCarthy said London had set high standards for future Olympic host cities to follow.
Previous Olympics have been criticised for the environmental damage they caused through waste, construction and transport.
Sustainability was at the heart of London's bid for the Olympics and the commission said organisers had largely succeeded in achieving it.
For example, the venues were told to be made of at least a quarter recycled materials - that included using disused gas pipes in the Olympic Stadium.
The Olympic Park was praised for regenerating a derelict area and benefiting wildlife, and the commission said it was amazed by the success of public transport.
But it said the challenges for future host cities were off the Olympic site, including the social ethics of some of the manufacturers and sponsors associated with the Games.
Mr McCarthy said the use of temporary venues for the Games was "unprecedented".
And he hailed Stratford in east London, the site of the Olympic Park, as one of the best connected places in Europe after long-term investment in public transport infrastructure.
He said London 2012 was the world's first public transport Olympics "despite all the predictions of doom and gridlock".
Mr McCarthy said: "In the main, London's sustainable Games have been a massive success but like the best sports teams there is a need to continuously improve.
"I wish the IOC [International Olympics Committee] and future host cities success in proving they can do better."
He also said an increase in sports participation was likely to be short lived and it would take "investment in community and school sport and a clear plan to tackle the current obesity crisis".
He added: "The cheerful volunteers made the experience a joy. I even saw some people on the Tube talking to each other! Why can't it be like that all the time?"


Hundreds of Wales fans trying to get to France for the Euro 2016 semi-final have been left confused after strikes caused some flights to be cancelled.

The flash strike by French air traffic control was announced on Monday, two days before Wales plays Portugal.
The Eurocontrol air traffic control operations website said the current strike disruption was causing "low to moderate delays".
Airlines are not being asked to cancel flights at this stage.
However, more than 200 flights to, from and over France were cancelled on Tuesday, lobby group Airlines for Europe claimed.
The Football Supporters' Federation Cymru said fans were "doing all sorts" of alternative journeys to get to Lyon.
The demand to see Wales play in their biggest ever game on Wednesday evening has also seen the 20,000-capacity fan zone at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff sell out.
The FSF said those trying to get to France should instead fly to Milan, in Italy, and drive from there after flights to Geneva and Amsterdam were fully booked.
However, the strike is due to end at 0400 BST on Wednesday, before the first flights of the day take off.
"All the ferries are booked now and the [Eurotunnel] is full. Everything is full," Vince Alm, of the federation, said.
"So people are having to catch ferries from Portsmouth to Santander [Spain] and they are driving down from there."
Chris Coleman's team faces Cristiano Ronaldo and co in Lyon on Wednesday at 20:00 BST.
The FSF is expecting more than 20,000 Wales fans to make the trip.
Chartered flights
Cardiff Airport said about 900 football fans were due to fly out to Lyon-Saint-ExupÃ©ry Airport on Wednesday.
Five charter flights have been arranged by travel companies Gullivers, SportsTravel and Strachans.
The chartered aircraft include a 265 seat Boeing 767-300.
The flights are:
A Boeing 737-800, departing at 06:00 BST
A Boeing 737-400, departing at 08:00
A Boeing 737-800, departing at 10:00
A Boeing 767-300, departing at 11:10
Also an Embraer 195 - departure time tbc
Matt Jones, from London, who has tickets for the match, said he was not informed of the cancellation of his flight to Lyon from London Luton until 23:00 BST on Monday.
He said: "It led to an hour or so of panic trying to make other arrangements.
"There were no alternative flights and most of the Eurostar journeys were fully booked.
"Luckily, we were able to find two train tickets but it has cost us an extra Â£210, plus it means a full day of travelling today."
Airlines for Europe (A4E), which represents carriers such as easyJet, Ryanair and British Airways' parent company IAG, said as well as the cancelled flights, others were set to be delayed.
Ryanair cancelled 102 flights on Tuesday.
A spokesman for easyJet, which cancelled 46 flights, assured passengers "it will do everything possible to limit the inconvenience of this strike".
He added passengers on cancelled flights had been contacted by email or text message.
A Cardiff Airport spokeswoman said: "We are not expecting any disruption to flights. However, it's going to be a very busy morning at the airport (on Wednesday) and passengers are advised to leave plenty of time to check in and get through security."
British Airways would not confirm its number of cancellations.


Reading manager Jaap Stam believes momentum rather than a highest-placed finish will be most important going into the Championship play-offs.

The Royals secured their play-off place with a 1-0 win over Wigan on Saturday and are third with a game left to play.
"For us, it's important to stay up there and be happy with where we are going into the semi-final," Stam said.
"It's going to hard and a big battle as all the teams up there are good and have quality individuals."
Stam, who took charge of Reading in the summer, praised the squad's achievement in finishing in the top six.
"I'm very proud of the players," he told BBC Radio Berkshire. "A top six finish is something you hope for at the beginning of the season, but that depends on the progress of the team.
"It's a big achievement and a big compliment to the squad in how they've done this season."
Reading travel to Burton for their final game of the regular season on Sunday and would face sixth-placed Fulham in their play-off semi-final as things stand.
But, former Manchester United defender Stam is not too concerned with who they might face.
"We're going to give it our best shot," he said. "We want to finish the final game well as we don't want to go into the play-offs with a disappointment."


An east London council has been fined £66,000 for failing to control employees' exposure to asbestos in their town hall basement.

Waltham Forest council was also told to pay £16,000 in costs for contravening health and safety guidelines.
The council said it "fully accepted" it should have done more at the time.
In January the council pleaded guilty to charges under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Control of Asbestos regulations.
The council was issued with the fine on Friday at Southwark Crown Court after pleading guilty to the charges at Westminster Magistrates Court in January.
In a statement, a Waltham Forest council spokesperson said: "We fully accept that the council should have done more in the past to manage the safety of our buildings.
"Throughout this process we have taken the matter extremely seriously, and we have been working with the Health and Safety Executive to make sure that nothing like this happens in the future."
The case was brought by the Health and Safety Executive and related to two incidents in November 2006 and two more in January 2009.
Unison said the issue was discovered when a local resident was refused access to requested files because of the risk of exposure to asbestos dust.


Sussex Police is to review its decision to caution a man who admitted posting revenge porn images online.

The 36-year-old from Eastbourne uploaded two sexually explicit pictures of his ex-partner that were taken when they were in a relationship.
He also posted non-sexual images of three women with offensive captions.
Sussex Police said the case would be reviewed in light of "concern". Police and crime commissioner Katy Bourne has asked the force to clarify its policy.
The man was arrested and cautioned in April after the victims contacted officers.
The force has been criticised for issuing a caution by the mother of one of the victims, Eastbourne MP Caroline Ansell and Polly Neate, the boss of charity Woman's Aid.
Sussex Police said the man, who has not been named, "made full admissions and expressed remorse" and its original decision "fits the national framework for out-of-court disposals".
But Det Supt Nick May told BBC Sussex the force was going to look into the case "in view of the concern that has been raised and the interest that this has caused".
"One of those aspects that particularly concerned me was around the potential for threats being made to one of the young women and I want to make sure, absolutely, that those are looked into appropriately," he added.
Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Ms Bourne said: "What worries me is that whilst I heard Sussex Police's response I actually don't feel very reassured at this point in time.
"Sussex Police claim that they put victims first and  I would disagree that they have in this instance."
Revenge porn became an offence in April 2015 and refers to the act of a partner or ex-partner purposefully distributing images or videos of a sexual nature without the other person's consent.


Halls of residence for Welsh-speaking students at Aberystwyth University have been threatened with closure.

The university has recommended accommodation at Pantycelyn is closed at the end of this academic term.
It said the move was part of a bid to make Pantycelyn "fit for purpose" and said the building would still be used for Welsh language services.
But it is unclear how long it could be closed for.
The latest recommendation was made by the university's finance committee on Friday after "lengthy, rigorous" discussions.
Alternative Welsh medium accommodation could be made available on its Penglais campus from September, the committee said.
The recommendations will now be considered by the university's council in June.
The decision comes after students campaigned to save the halls of residence in April 2014.
Miriam Williams president of the UMCA - Aberystwyth's student union for Welsh speakers - said: "Yesterday's meeting reminds me of the situation facing Pantycelyn residents in 2005, when the University had plans to turn the hall into offices.
"This regression is unacceptable. Pantycelyn has been, and should remain as a Welsh-medium halls of residence."
Bethan Williams from Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (Welsh Language Society) said the university had betrayed the Welsh language and its students.
"What value do they place on the Welsh language? The halls are one of the few Welsh language communities left in Wales. We will not let them do this," she said.
"The University's senior officers have tried to deceive students - they are not suitable to hold public office. Our local branch in Pantycelyn will discuss what we will do to support the campaign to ensure the halls stays open as student accommodation next term."
Pantycelyn has traditionally been where Welsh-speaking students stay at Aberystwyth University, and where Prince Charles spent a term as a student in 1969.


The Isle of Man newspaper titles are to be sold off by Johnston Press Plc in a £4.25m deal, it has been confirmed.

Tindle Newspapers Ltd, which is buying the titles, said it was "delighted".
The deal includes three weeklies - the Isle of Man Examiner, Isle of Man Courier, and Manx Independent - as well as the iomtoday.co.im news website.
Sir Ray Tindle, who established Tindle Newspapers Ltd, said: "We are unable to meet the whole of the staff until completion of the agreement."
He added: "Everyone at Tindle Newspapers will make them all very welcome just as soon as we are able to do so.
"I am convinced that local weekly papers will be with us for a very long time. Everyone wants to read about their own community, and they want to read about it in depth."
Tindle publications include the Enfield Gazette and Advertiser, the Cornish Times, Farnham Herald and the Monmouthshire Beacon.
On its website, Isle of Man newspapers said staff were informed of the deal on Friday.
The deal is expected to be finalised at the end of July.


Bosses should pay an annual charge of £1,000 for every skilled worker brought in from outside Europe, migration advisers have told the government.

The Migration Advisory Committee report said the proposal could raise £250m to go towards helping train British-based workers in UK firms.
It also suggested raising the minimum salary threshold for skilled workers coming to the UK by £9,200, to £30,000.
Ministers are concerned about the rising number of "Tier 2" migrants.
There are also concerned about companies' reliance on them to fill shortages in the labour market.
As such, the government asked the Migration Advisory Committee - the independent public body which advises it on migration issues - to investigate possible changes to Tier 2 visa requirements.
Currently, those wanting to work in the UK must be offered a starting salary of £20,800. There are some higher thresholds specific to individual roles.
In 2014, 151,000 skilled workers and their dependants arrived in the UK or were allowed to stay on.
The committee said raising the salary threshold to £30,000 would have excluded almost 28,000 people in 2014 - or about 18% of the total.
The committee "strongly" supports the introduction of the so-called Immigration Skills Charge to incentivise employers to reduce their reliance on migrant workers and encourage them to invest in training British workers.
The committee also recommends tightening the rules on intra-company transfers - overseas staff working for the same company in the UK - which have risen "very rapidly" in recent years.
Professor Sir David Metcalf, committee chairman, said: "Skilled migrant workers make important contributions to boosting productivity and public finances, but this should be balanced against their potential impact on the welfare of existing UK residents.
"Raising the cost of employing skilled migrants via higher pay thresholds, and the introduction of an immigration skills charge, should lead to greater investment in UK employees and reduce the use of migrant labour."
Businesses should be "content" that £30,000 was a reasonable figure and the £1,000 charge would be put back into good UK firms, such as Rolls Royce, he told BBC's World at One.
Neil Carberry, of the business lobby group, CBI, said businesses agreed that training British-based people to do jobs where there were shortages was the long-term solution.
"But the question's more complex than that," he told the World at One.
"We live in a global economy, we have short-term skills shortages, but we also have multi-national companies who frankly can base work in different countries and we want it to be attractive for these big companies to come and invest in the UK and create jobs here."
The immigration skills charge is separate to the apprenticeship levy, due to be enforced in April 2017, which is payable by all medium and large companies.


The financial rewards for being involved with the Bitcoin virtual currency have been halved.

Before 9 July, a regular reward of 25 bitcoins was handed out to those who were first to verify which coins had been spent.
Now, the leading team of "miners" who verify a chunk of global transactions will receive only 12.5 bitcoins.
The halving of the reward is scheduled to take place every four years to limit bitcoin inflation.
Created in 2008, bitcoins have slowly become accepted as a form of payment by increasing numbers of shops, stores and services.
One of the latest to back Bitcoin is cab company Uber, which has started letting passengers in Argentina pay for journeys using a Xapo debit card they can fill with bitcoins.
Bitcoin miners are essential to the operation of the virtual currency because they collaborate to maintain the central record of transactions known as the blockchain.
Verifying a chunk of transactions, known as a block, involves a complicated mathematical operation, and many miners use dedicated hardware to crank through the possible solutions to the cryptographic puzzle it represents.
The mining process is carefully engineered to limit the opportunities for fraud and to ensure coins are handed out on a regular basis.
The financial reward for solving the puzzle also helps motivate people to stay involved.
The first halving event took place in 2012, when the reward for mining a block dropped from 50 bitcoins to 25.
One bitcoin is now worth about Â£500 ($645), making the reward each time a block is added to the blockchain equal to about Â£6,244.
Many mining pools operating thousands of dedicated computers seeking to be the first to get the solution to the bitcoin puzzle and reap a reward operate on very thin margins.
Reuters reports one company, Sweden's KnCMiner, filed for bankruptcy in May, citing the losses it would suffer when the reward halving took place.
Competition among miners has increased thanks to the intervention of many Chinese companies, who are now thought to control about two-thirds of the computational power working on Bitcoin's blockchain.
Daniel Masters, who runs a bitcoin-based hedge fund, told Reuters: "It turned out that the Chinese, who really stormed into the mining market in the last couple of years, could just do this whole thing cheaper."


Welsh international goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams has completed a painting of the Wales team at Euro 2016.

Williams, who plays for Scottish Premiership side Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC, was with the team for this summer's tournament in France.
His canvas portrays the team's celebrations at winning a historic appearance in the semi finals.
Williams' other artwork has been inspired by the landscape and culture of Dyffryn Nantlle, where he grew up.
It includes paintings of slate quarries near where he lived in north west Wales.
Since moving to Inverness, he has also created paintings of Highland cattle.
Williams spent five months planning and painting the Euro 2016 canvas called Together Stronger.


Scots judo star Stephanie Inglis has spoken for the first time since she was badly injured in a motorbike taxi accident in Vietnam.

The 27-year-old Commonwealth Games silver medallist's parents, Alison and Robert Inglis, said their daughter had opened her eyes and said "Hi".
Her mother said the latest step in their daughter's recovery was "absolutely phenomenal".
The judo star arrived at Edinburgh Airport in an air ambulance on Monday.
Stephanie was taken to Edinburgh's Western General Hospital where she has been receiving care in a specialist unit.
She was flown from Thailand where she was treated in a Bangkok hospital for a serious head injury and also infections, including pneumonia.
Doctors in Vietnam had given her a 1% chance of surviving her injuries.
Alison Inglis said: "She opened her eyes and she looked and she mouthed 'Hi', and that was absolutely phenomenal.
"She's very determined, she's got a good determination. She is very disciplined, obviously with the sport that she did.
"Even when she started to waken up she opened her eye partly, then she started moving her hand and then when she started to become aware.
"We were trying to explain to her, you have fallen off a bike, you have to rehab and she is constantly moving her arms and legs.
"So I think the strength, disciple and her body strength is really what is bringing her through."
On the official SaveSteph Facebook page it said: "The first thing we learned was that Stephanie is now breathing without any assistance, however she still has the Tracheotomy in place and although she now has a speaking attachment in place this is causing her significant distress, and we will be relieved when this can be removed.
"Stephanie has now been cleared of all her infections and the hospital believes that she has fought and come through all of these, they are really happy with Stephanie and as soon as they can make her more comfortable they will.
"We met Robert and Alison in the visitors lounge and Alison told me Stephanie has been sleeping most of the day due to some pain killers she is on to help with her discomfort so not to expect much, as they made her drowsy.
"When we got to the room Stephanie was asleep, Alison gently awakened her and said Steph look who's here to see you, Steph partially opened her eye looked and when she saw me smiled and for the first time looked straight at me and said Hi, we were speechless I was over whelmed with the moment."
Stephanie, who grew up in the Highlands but has been living in Dunfermline, had been transferred to Bangkok from a hospital in Vietnam where the accident happened on 10 May.
Her parents, who live in Daviot, near Inverness, flew to south-east Asia to be with their daughter.
Stephanie, who won her Commonwealth Games medal at Glasgow 2014, had been in Vietnam for about four months, teaching underprivileged children, when she suffered serious head injuries in the motorcycle accident.
Her skirt is believed to have become unravelled and caught in the wheel.
Friends and family set up a crowdfunding campaign to pay for her medical costs after it emerged her travel insurance was not valid because she had been in the country more than 31 days.


A senior Tory has been criticised for saying the prime minister would defend Gibraltar in the same way as Margaret Thatcher defended the Falklands.

Lord Howard told the BBC Theresa May would show the same "resolve" as Mrs Thatcher did over the 1982 conflict.
The Lib Dems said he was "sabre-rattling" and Labour also criticised the "inflammatory" remarks.
Mrs May said the UK was "steadfastly committed" to Gibraltar, after the EU raised it ahead of Brexit talks.
In its draft negotiating guidelines, published last week, the EU said decisions affecting Gibraltar - a British territory - would be run past the Spanish government.
Speaking on BBC One's Sunday Politics, Lord Howard said that 35 years ago, "another woman prime minister sent a taskforce halfway across the world to protect another small group of British people against another Spanish-speaking country.
"And I'm absolutely clear that our current woman prime minister will show the same resolve in relation to Gibraltar as her predecessor did."
After Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982, Margaret Thatcher sent a task force to reclaim the islands, in the South Atlantic, and an estimated 655 Argentine and 255 British servicemen lost their lives in the fighting that followed.
Labour's shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said: "Inflammatory comments like those by Michael Howard will not help Britain get what it needs from these difficult Brexit negotiations."
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron added: "In only a few days the Conservative right are turning long-term allies into potential enemies.
"I hope this isn't a sign of the government's approach to the long negotiations to come.
"Brexiteers have gone from cheering to sabre-rattling for war in four days, it is absolutely ludicrous."
The EU's guidelines followed a letter from Mrs May formally triggering Brexit talks, which did not mention Gibraltar directly.
Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon said the UK would protect Gibraltar "all the way" because its residents had "made it very clear they do not want to live under Spanish rule".
He defended the lack of mention for Gibraltar in the letter invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, saying it had referred to a separate document in which Gibraltar was included.
Gibraltar, which voted overwhelmingly for Remain in June's referendum, asked the British government on more than one occasion to include a reference in the Article 50 letter, a source in the Gibraltarian government told the BBC.
Gibraltar: key facts
After Mrs May spoke to Gibraltar's chief minister Fabian Picardo on Sunday, Downing Street said: "The prime minister said we will never enter into arrangements under which the people of Gibraltar would pass under the sovereignty of another state against their freely and democratically expressed wishes, nor will we ever enter into a process of sovereignty negotiations with which Gibraltar is not content.
"The prime minister said we remain absolutely dedicated to working with Gibraltar for the best possible outcome on Brexit and will continue to involve them fully in the process."
Mr Picardo said he was "energetically and enthusiastically" supporting Mrs May in her Brexit negotiations.
During his Marr Show interview, Mr Fallon also defended the UK government's reference to security co-operation in its Brexit letter.
The government has said the line that fighting terrorism would be "weakened" if a deal was not agreed was a statement of facts, not a threat to the EU ahead of talks beginning.
In response, EU leaders said there could be no attempt to "bargain" between trade and security.
Sir Michael said: "It's very important to link trade and security because what we are now looking for is a deep and special partnership that covers both economic and security co-operation.
He said he was "absolutely" proud of that link, adding: "It's very important that we go on committing to the security of the continent."
Asked if failure to secure a deal would make the EU less secure, he said: "We would all be worse off it there wasn't a deal. We are expecting to have a deal."
Labour's shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry told the BBC's Pienaar's Politics the government was "clearly" using the UK's military strength as a "bargaining chip".


The M4 is closed westbound near Reading after a man was hit by a car.

The incident happened on the westbound carriageway between junction 11 at Reading and junction 12 Theale at about 16:50 GMT.
South Central Ambulance Service said a man was struck by a car close to Reading services. An air ambulance has landed on a nearby field.
The road is likely to remain closed for some time and drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible.


Reports that the man set to lead the Philippines might ban alcohol in public places has outraged Filipinos online - but some say this is exactly why they voted him in.

Rodrigo Duterte, known for his tough anti-crime approach, has claimed victory in the 9 May election.
His spokesman said he would also impose a "nationwide curfew" for children.
Official election results have not yet been announced, but Mr Duterte has an unassailable lead.
He has credited his success in the presidency campaign to his tough stance on law and order.
His record as the crime-crushing mayor of the southern town of Davao, once notorious for its lawlessness, earned him the moniker The Punisher and resonated with voters.
Among other measures in the city, he banned the sale of alcohol between midnight and 08:00.

Who were the candidates in the Philippines' elections?
His spokesman Peter Lavina told local media in Davao on Tuesday this could be extended across the country.
"Mr Duterte will impose a curfew on unescorted minors and might also impose a liquor ban in public places, upon consultation and a review of laws."
He said it had "nothing to do with denying us of our freedoms," and that the public would not be prohibited from drinking in their homes.
Mr Duterte's proposal sparked a lively reaction on social media.
"To all who voted Duterte, I hope you're ready to cut smoking, drink less alcohol, go home early and segregate trash," tweeted university student Glenn Ong from the capital Manila.
"All blood and no alcohol for a Duterte win," tweeted Hannah Garay. "Hope the ones who voted for him won't have a hard time swallowing this."
"You want a dictator? Well, you got one now," said Facebook user Angelica Mercurio from Cavite, who compared his actions to martial law rule.
"It may be for our own good but I just cant wait to see how bummed alcohol enthusiasts will be once Duterte comes into power," said Keiza Chan.
But other Filipinos came out in support of Mr Duterte's plan to end drinking on the streets.
Rojun Angeles from Manila said he was looking forward to the liquor ban. "Less crime, less accidents and less 'pokpoks'," he said, referring to prostitutes.
Anzel Deschanel, who voted for Mr Duterte in Iloilo province, said on the Facebook of Philippines news site GMA: "This is the reason why my vote went to him.
"I am sick of criminals and want a stop to crime on the streets so I welcome this ban. Children need to be staying indoors at night anyway for their safety. For a better Philippines!"


Inflation in the eurozone slowed dramatically in March, according to official estimates.

Eurostat said its initial estimate found inflation slowed to 1.5%, from 2.0% in February.
The European Central Bank targets inflation of close to, but below, 2%.
With inflation running close to that target, ECB chief Mario Draghi has been under pressure to wind-down efforts to stimulate the eurozone economy. But the latest report could ease that pressure.
According to Eurostat, the decline in inflation was partly due to lower oil prices, but food price inflation also eased.
"March's sharp slowdown in eurozone inflation was partly driven by temporary factors that will reverse in April, but the big picture is that inflation is now on a downward trend," said Jack Allen, eurozone economist at Capital Economics.
"There is little sign that declining unemployment is putting much upward pressure on wages and prices."
The ECB has been attempting to stimulate the eurozone economy with negative interest rates and a bond-buying programme.
Economists say the easing of inflation pressures will allow the ECB to keep those stimulus measures in place.
"The ECB is likely to maintain its view that the economic recovery has not put inflation on course to meet its medium-term goal. So we expect it continue purchasing assets well into 2018, and leave interest rates on hold until even later," Mr Allen said.
Dennis de Jong, managing director at UFX.com, said: "The decline this month after a four-year-high last time may indicate inflation has hit its peak, although you can't rule anything in or out at the moment. Germany especially will be hoping Draghi can continue to keep it under control."
The data did not have a big impact on the euro, which was trading a little higher against the dollar at $1.0687.
A revision of the inflation data, based on more complete information, will be released on 19 April.


Bradford City eased to their third victory in four games as they beat Southend United at Valley Parade.

Tony McMahon's curling free-kick beat keeper Daniel Bentley to give Bradford the lead after an aggressive start.
Wes Thomas came close to a second as he cut inside to pick up Josh Cullen's pass but chipped his shot over the bar.
Stephen McLaughlin shot over the bar for Southend after the break, but James Hanson's header deflected in off Bentley to secure victory for Bradford.


Two pieces of debris found in Mozambique which may have come from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 have arrived in Australia for analysis.

One item was found on a sandbank by an amateur US investigator in late February and the other in December by a South African tourist.
MH370 disappeared in March 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, carrying 239 passengers.
Despite a huge search, only one fragment of the plane has been found.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) confirmed to the BBC that they had received the debris from Mozambique on Sunday and were "working with the Malaysian investigative team to analyse it".
Malaysia's transport minister has previously said there is a "high possibility" the debris found in February came from a Boeing 777, the same model as missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Australia is leading the search for the plane as it is suspected to have gone down in waters closest to the country.
Specialists from Boeing are assisting in the analysis work.
So far, the only debris confirmed by investigators to have been from the missing plane is a fragment of wing found on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion.
Another piece of debris found recently on the island is unlikely to have been from the missing plane, Australian investigators have said.
The location where the various pieces of debris have been found is consistent with models of ocean currents, which show where the sea might have carried wreckage from the suspected crash site.


Professor Stephen Hawking has presented the winning University Challenge team with their trophy - and revealed he is a long-time fan of the show.

Oxford's Balliol College beat Wolfson College, Cambridge, by 190 to 140 in the final of the BBC Two show.
The series was a hit on social media, in large part due to fan favourite Eric Monkman, who captained Wolfson.
Despite his team's loss some took to Twitter to describe the 29-year-old as the "people's champion".
Host Jeremy Paxman told Wolfson they had been "entertaining".
Professor Hawking told the two teams: "I have said in the past that it is not clear whether intelligence has any long-term survival value - bacteria multiply and flourish without it.
"But it is one of the most admirable qualities, especially when displayed by such young minds.
"Many congratulations to both teams but especially to Balliol College Oxford on becoming series champions on University Challenge, a programme I have long enjoyed."
It was only the second time in the quiz's 55-year-history that the trophy presentation had taken place outside the studio.
In the segment, Paxman congratulated the winners and told Wolfson there was "no shame in being runners-up".
Balliol then toasted their win with glasses of port.
Oxford colleges had lost to Cambridge for the past three years - until the 2017 final, broadcast on Monday night.
Here is a selection of some of the questions Balliol answered correctly to beat Wolfson. Answers at the bottom of the story.
Monkman, from Canada, was applauded by fans for his enthusiastic performances and the encyclopaedic knowledge he displayed.
He had scored 120 of his team's 170 points in a previous round, with the hashtag #Monkmania springing up for fans to praise his prowess.
But in the end, the Balliol team captained by Joey Goldman proved too strong for Monkman and his teammates.

The scale of civilian deaths in Gaza during the 2014 war with Israel puts Israel's adherence to international law in doubt, a UN official has said.

In his annual report, a UN special rapporteur, region also said many children were left traumatised by the 50-day conflict.
Israel and its ally the US were both absent from the debate at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva.
Israel has previously accused the body of being biased against it.
It has insisted it did everything possible to avoid causing civilian casualties, and has accused Palestinian militants of putting non-combatants in harm's way.
At the meeting, special rapporteur Makarim Wibisono criticised Israel's conduct during the July-August conflict.
"The ferocity of destruction and high proportion of civilian lives lost in Gaza cast serious doubts over Israel's adherence to international humanitarian  law principles of proportionality, distinction and precautions in attack," he told the council.
He lamented "acute" needs in Gaza, warning that Israel's continued "blockade keeps Gaza in a stranglehold which does not even allow people to  help themselves".
Israel says its tight restrictions over Gaza's northern and eastern borders and coastline are vital to protect it from attacks by militants.
Also under discussion at the session is a report from the UN's secretary general, which highlights the continued building of settlements in the West Bank, and alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians in the area.
About 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
The report cites alleged incidents of settler violence and access of Palestinians to agricultural land as particular areas of concern.
In Israel, the foreign ministry told Reuters that the UN's annual debate about human rights in Gaza and the West Bank "negatively singles out Israel and Israel every year asks its friends on the council not to express themselves".
The Palestinians and Israel each accuse the other of committing war crimes during the 2014 conflict.
The war left more than 2,100 Palestinians dead, the majority civilians, according to the UN. Tens of thousands of homes in Gaza were also destroyed or badly damaged.
On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers and six civilians were killed by militant attacks, which also caused damage to homes and other buildings. Israel says the offensive was aimed at ending rocket fire and preventing militants attacking it via tunnels.
A UN inquiry into possible war crimes committed during the war was removed from the agenda of the current session of the UNHRC after the head of the team quit amid questions over his suitability to lead the investigation.
Canadian legal expert William Schabas had a "clear and documented bias", Israel said, since he had previously done paid work for the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
The inquiry, now headed by former New York judge Mary McGowan Davis, will report back in June, although Israel says it should be disbanded altogether.


French National Front leader Marine Le Pen has formed a political group of right-wing nationalist parties in the European Parliament.

The anti-EU Europe of Nations and Freedom bloc includes Italy's Northern League and the Freedom Party of Dutch politician Geert Wilders.
The grouping also has the support of UK MEP Janice Atkinson, expelled from UKIP in March over an expenses scandal.
Forming the group will give the MEPs more influence in the parliament.
It will also mean that the new bloc's members have access to millions of euros in extra funding as well as more staff and speaking time.
To be valid, a group needs 25 MEPs from at least seven different nationalities.
Mr Wilders, whose anti-Islam rhetoric has seen him face legal action, said that the formation was a "historic moment".
"Today it's the beginning of our liberation, our D-Day," he told reporters, adding that the new bloc would be the voice of the new "European resistance", defending their countries' sovereignty. The anti-Islam leader said the bloc would fight mass immigration as well as "Islamisation".
Eurosceptic and far-right parties made gains in last year's European Parliament elections, in what France's PM Manuel Valls called a "political earthquake".
Until now the far-right National Front (FN) has struggled to find members from enough countries to form a group.
But it secured support from MEPs in Italy's Northern League, Austria's Freedom Party, Vlaams Belang from Belgium and the Polish Congress of the New Right.
The new group represented "a political force that will go far beyond our previous situation," Ms Le Pen told reporters in Brussels on Tuesday.
She said it would be "strong, determined, coherent and ambitious".
The group could qualify for around â‚¬17.5m (Â£12.6m) of EU money over the next four years, according to calculations by the think tank Open Europe.
The FN leader was praised by Ms Atkinson, who said Ms Le Pen was "leading the offence" against what was happening in the European Union.
Ms Atkinson was expelled by UKIP for "bringing the party into disrepute" amid newspaper allegations that a member of her staff tried to arrange a false receipt for a meal.
UKIP has previously said it was "not interested in any deal" with Ms Le Pen or her party because of "prejudice and anti-Semitism in particular" in the FN.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage already heads another anti-immigration alliance in the European Parliament called the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy Group (EFDD).
The party responded to Ms Atkinson's move to join the rival group on Tuesday by saying: "Whatever she does is beyond our control."
FN founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, who was suspended from the party last month over his comments that the Holocaust was "a detail of history", is not part of the new Europe of Nations and Freedom group. FN MEP Bruno Gollnisch is also not a member, according to reports.
Marine Le Pen, who succeeded her father as FN leader, has spent the past year trying to distance the party from his remarks, widely condemned as anti-Semitic.
Meanwhile the three MEPs from Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party remain unattached to a political group in the European Parliament.
Correction 19 June 2015: This story has been amended to delete mention of Hungary's Jobbik party, which is not in the new group.


Brazilian prosecutors have made a formal allegation of tax evasion and money laundering against former tourism minister Henrique Alves.

Mr Alves resigned on Thursday after being linked to a corruption scheme.
Brazil's Prosecutor General Rodrigo Janot presented evidence to the Supreme Court saying that Mr Alves had a secret bank account in Switzerland.
He became the third cabinet minister to stand down since interim President Michel Temer came to power last month.
All are implicated in a major corruption scandal at the state oil company, Petrobras.
Mr Alves denied the allegations.
What's wrong with Brazil?
Who is Michel Temer?
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court released testimony by an ex-executive implicating 20 politicians including Mr Temer.
In a television broadcast, Mr Temer dismissed the testimony as frivolous lies.
The allegations come from Sergio Machado, the former chief executive of Petrobras subsidiary Transpetro.
Mr Machado is himself under investigation and has made a plea bargain with prosecutors.
He said that both Mr Temer and Mr Alves asked him for money for electoral campaigning and knew it would come from an illegal kickbacks scheme that diverted billions of dollars from the national oil company.
Mr Alves also denied the accusations against him and said on social media that contributions to his campaigns had been made through official channels and declared to election authorities.
He said on Thursday that he was resigning in order "to avoid embarrassing" the government.
Henrique Alves, a member of Mr Temer's PMDB party, is the third minister to step down after former Transparency Minister Fabiano Silveira and former Planning Minister Romero Juca both resigned over leaked phone recordings linked to the Petrobras scandal.
Mr Temer took office on 12 May after the Senate voted to begin an impeachment trial against President Dilma Rousseff for breaking the law in the management of last year's budget.
She said the accusations were politically-motivated and described the impeachment proceedings against her as a coup.


Company directors from Carmarthenshire defrauded the taxman out of £2.7m to fund extravagant lifestyles, a court has heard.

Richard Safadi, 47, of Carmarthen, and Mandy Galinsky, 53, of Ammanford, charged customers more than £1.6m in VAT but only gave £40,000 to HMRC.
The pair, directors of Penybanc Car Sales and Ammanford Metal Recycling, spent the money on holidays and cars.
On Wednesday, they were given suspended sentences at Swansea Crown Court.
A HMRC investigation found Safadi had failed to file a single tax return on his personal income, despite becoming a millionaire.
He stole more than £280,000 in tax that should have been passed on to HMRC.
Galinsky claimed she had not earned a penny since 2009, but investigators found she had earned more than £500,000 and kept the £230,000 she should have paid in tax.
They also pocketed £640,000 in Corporation Tax - in total, stealing £2,786,374.
The court heard they enjoyed "lavish lifestyles" with all their personal expenses, including on holidays, credit card bills and loan agreements for their vehicles - paid out of company expenses.
Both had rental properties, holiday homes in Kenya and drove high-end cars including Range Rovers, Bentleys, a BMW and a Rolls Royce.
Colin Spinks, assistant director of HMRC's fraud investigation service, said the pair stole an "extraordinary amount of cash to fund lifestyles most people can only dream of".
He said: "Between them, the pair took advantage of the tax system at every opportunity and stole money from where it was intended - funding vital public services."
The pair pleaded guilty in August 2016 to failing to pay the correct tax for their used car dealership and scrap metal company, or pay the tax due on their personal income.
Safadi, who has paid back nearly £890,000, was sentenced to 24 months in jail, suspended for two years.
Galinsky was sentenced to 10 months in prison, suspended for 18 months.


To write about urbanisation in China is to traffic in superlatives.

Three decades of sustained economic growth, concentrated along the booming coast, has lured millions from the impoverished Chinese countryside. This great migration - unprecedented in human history - has put 46 Chinese cities over the one million mark since 1992, out of a national total of 102.
And this is just the start.

China's new billionaires
Asia Business news
Currently only about 40% of China's population lives in cities, roughly that of America in 1885.
It is estimated that another 350 million Chinese will become urban by 2025, raising China's urban numbers to a cool billion.
Accommodating all these people has meant building on a scale the world has never seen before.
In the first 20 years of China's economic revolution, begun under Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970s, China built some 6.5bn sq m (70bn sq ft) of new housing - the equivalent of more than 150 million average-sized apartments.
In Shanghai there were no skyscrapers in 1980; today it has twice as many as New York.  Between 1990 and 2004 developers erected 85m sq m of commercial space in the city - equivalent to 334 Empire State buildings.
Nationwide, China's construction industry employs a workforce of about 37 million.
Nearly half the world's steel and cement is devoured there, and much of the world's heavy construction equipment has relocated to the People's Republic. Tower cranes, for example, have become the ubiquitous symbol of urban China.
But China's urban revolution has also destroyed as much as it has built.
In its head-long rush to be rich and modern, China has deprived itself - and the world - of a priceless heritage.
Beijing, once among the world's great urban treasures, is fast becoming just another node of globalised consumerism; full of absurdly sanitised reconstitutions of its lost past, unaffordable to working people, lacerated by eight-lane highways.
Urban development in China has also displaced more people than any nation in peacetime.
In Shanghai alone, redevelopment projects in the 1990s displaced more residents than did 30 years of urban renewal in the United States.
Because China's cities are growing outward as well as upward, urbanisation has also consumed a staggering amount of rural countryside.
Between 1985 and 1995, Shanghai's footprint grew from 90 sq miles to 790.
The "spreading pancake" of urban growth in China - "tan da bing", the popular Chinese expression for sprawl - has devoured some 45,000 sq miles of productive farmland over the last 30 years, nearly half the land area of the United Kingdom.
Chinese suburban development is much more concentrated than in the US. Large detached homes owned by single-families - the American standard - are relatively rare.
The basic unit of Chinese suburbia - with its mid-rise apartment towers, community centre and shared public spaces - is half way between a Maoist "dan wei" (work unit) and a Californian gated community.
Nonetheless, such development on the urban periphery is fast making China a nation of motorists.
China's domestic car market now exceeds America's, and the largest car showrooms in the world today are not in Los Angeles or Houston but the People's Republic.
Accommodating the steady flow of new cars - Beijing and Shanghai average 1,000 new vehicle registrations a day - is a national road network on the verge of eclipsing the American interstate system as Earth's most extensive human artefact.
And with cars and highways have come all the standard spaces of suburban consumerism - drive-through restaurants and big-box shopping malls, budget chain motels, and even that vanished icon of middle America, the drive-in cinema.
None of this bodes well for planet Earth. How ironic that, just as the West has begun to get its environmental house in order - finally taking serious action to reduce its carbon footprint, combat global warming, and end its oil addiction - here come the millions of China, wanting the very lifestyle and material amenities that have put us on the verge of environmental collapse.
If China were to match, per capita, car ownership in the US (which is falling, incidentally), it would mean more than one billion cars.
The planet, in a word, would be fried.
And this takes no account of India, which will soon overtake China as the world's most populous nation.
Experts such as Paul Gilding have come up with a measure for our total global footprint in terms of our impact on the environment and resources. In his book The Great Disruption he concludes that our economy is operating at about 150% of capacity - in other words, the way we live will take between one-and-a-half planets to sustain.
That is not just unsustainable, it is a catastrophe.
And yet, who are we to say to China: "We've had our playful, wasteful day in the sun but you must now conserve."
Happily, we don't need to; the Chinese are saying it themselves.
Even as it sprawls, China is building more public transit than all other nations combined, and is well ahead of the US in developing sustainable building technologies and clean-energy alternatives such as solar, wind, and biomass.
According to a study by the Pew Charitable Trusts, China invested $34.6bn (Â£21bn) in the clean energy industry between 2005 and 2009 - nearly twice that of the US.
We may have taught China to drive, eat, and buy its way to ruin; China may yet show us how to save the world.

Coventry City boss Mark Robins says his Sky Blues side are undoubted underdogs in Sunday's EFL Trophy final against fellow League One side Oxford United.

City are bottom of the table and look likely to be relegated, but will go to Wembley on the back of two successive league victories.
Robins said "there should be no fear" for his largely young side.
"There's no pressure on us. We're underdogs in terms of league position," he told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
"Oxford will be well supported too. They're on an upward curve under Michael Appleton, but this is a one-off final and we've got tremendous support. There's a real excitement around the city.
"It's a different week. There's more focus and attention on the club. We've been measured up for new suits and all sorts of things, but training has had a decent intensity and, on the back of two wins, it galvanises all that spirit.
"Even though they are young, sometimes that can have a positive impact. We've got to go to Wembley to try to enjoy it, take in all the sights, the sounds and experiences.
"But people also rightly say there's only one way to enjoy it - and that's by winning."
Coventry are 11 points shy of safety with six league games left to play and are 27 points worse off than Oxford, who are eighth and just four points off a play-off place.
Having only rejoined Coventry on 7 March, Robins is in the unusual position of being in charge of a side who had already made it to Wembley almost a month earlier.
With that in mind, he has stepped aside from the honour of leading the team out, and the club have asked veteran goalkeeping coach Steve Ogrizovic - the man they affectionately call 'Big Oggy' - to do it instead.
The 6ft 4in former Chesterfield and Liverpool keeper, 59, who started his working life as a police constable, has spent 33 years with the Sky Blues since joining from Shrewsbury Town in the summer of 1984.
After 507 league appearances as a player and one goal - a long clearance over Martin Hodge's head against Sheffield Wednesday on a windy day at Hillsborough in 1988 - he has since served as reserve and Academy coach, caretaker manager and now goalkeeping coach.
Coventry will be without both of his first-choice centre-backs, loan players Nathan Clarke and Farrend Rawson, who are both cup-tied.
Clarke made three appearances for Bradford City in the group stages of the competition, as did Rawson for Derby's Under-23s.
But Robins insisted: "We've got plenty of options. It's not a problem."
Meanwhile, City's technical director Mark Venus, who took charge for three months this season following Tony Mowbray's resignation, has left the club.


Michael Conlan says he is feeling "relaxed, very confident and very focused" before his second professional fight in Chicago on Friday night.

The Belfast super-bantamweight will take on Mexican Alfredo Chanez at the 9,500-capacity UIC Pavilion.
"I didn't think my first fight was the best performance but given the magnitude of the event and the occasion it was understandable," said Conlan.
"This time I'll be able to show what I've really got."
The 25-year-old stopped Tim Ibarra inside three rounds on his professional debut at Madison Square Garden on St Patrick's Day.
Conlan's opponent on Friday has won four and lost four of his professional outings so far, but has not been knocked out.
"I'm focused on what I have to do and now I just have to go and perform," added the former world amateur champion and Olympic bronze medallist.
"The Irish people in Chicago have been unbelievable and have turned out for the media workouts in their numbers. I've been made very welcome and I'm grateful for that."
Conlan added that it would be "very special" to be part of the undercard of Manny Pacquiao's world title fight in Australia on 2 July if he defeats Chanez.
Pacquiao will defend his WBO welterweight title against Australia's Jeff Horn in Brisbane.
Conlan hopes to fight in Belfast in December as he continues his progression through the professional ranks.


An MP has said efforts to save a crab meat factory which employs more than 80 staff in the Scottish Borders have proved to be "in vain".

Calum Kerr said "every effort to explore any avenue" had been made to keep Burgons of Eyemouth open.
The company started consultation over plans to close the facility last month.
Spokesman Trevor Bartlett said negotiations with potential buyers had been ongoing and would continue for as long as possible.
Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk MP Mr Kerr said: "Unfortunately it does seem that despite discussions with the Scottish government, Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Borders Council and myself, the plant is going to shut."
He said the company "clearly felt it had to act to prevent further losses and possible insolvency".
He pledged to "pull all the stops out" to help workers set to be made redundant.
During attempts to save the factory, Mr Kerr managed to find savings of about Â£30,000-a-year with local farmers willing to use empty crab shells as fertiliser rather than the firm sending the shells to landfill.
"It would have been a helpful saving but unfortunately and despite all our efforts, it came too late," he said.
"The loss of Burgons is a severe blow to Eyemouth.
"We now need to do everything we can to make sure that these skilled and committed workers find new employment, hopefully locally and as quickly as possible."
Mr Bartlett said it was grateful to Mr Kerr for his efforts towards seeking ways of keeping the business alive.
"Unfortunately, though, there have been too many other reasons for the losses which have been supported by the parent company for three years, preventing its growth, so it has been with great reluctance that we have made this decision," he said.
"As the only company to offer continued employment when the previous owners were looking to sell, we feel we have done our best for the workforce and are confident that the employment opportunities are far better now than they were three years ago and we wish all the staff well as they seek other work."


Linkin Park have released their first official statement after the death of frontman Chester Bennington last week.

"Our hearts are broken. The shock waves of grief and denial are still sweeping through our family as we come to grips with what has happened," it read.
"You touched so many lives, maybe even more than you realised," it continued.
Bennington's body was found at a private home in Los Angeles on Thursday. The LA County Coroner said he apparently hanged himself.
He had previously struggled with addiction and had spoken to BBC Newsbeat about depression and suicide.
The statement continued: "In the past few days, we've seen an outpouring of love and support, both public and private, from around the world.
"Talinda and the family appreciate it, and want the world to know that you were the best husband, son, and father; the family will never be whole without you."
Bennington, 41, had six children, three with his wife Talinda.
The band are storming into this week's UK album and singles charts following Bennington's death, according to the Official Charts Company's midweek update.
Seven of the band's albums are on course to enter the top 40, with their debut, 2001's Hybrid Theory, currently at number three and One More Light, released earlier this year, at five. Meteora, the group's first UK number one, at seven.
Three of their hits are also on course to reach the singles charts. In The End - Linkin Park's first UK top 10 back in 2001 - is on course to re-enter at nine.
2003's Numb is at number 13, while Numb/Encore, the band's 2004 collaboration with Jay-Z, is at 29.
Artists can only have a maximum of three songs in the top 40 at any one time. The rules recently changed in an attempt to stop A-list artists elbowing newer acts out of the way.
Formed in 1996, Linkin Park have sold more than 70 million albums worldwide and won two Grammy Awards.
Meteora topped the Billboard 200 chart in 2003 and is regarded as one of the biggest indie rock records of all time.

Crawley Town have extended left-back Charles Dunne's loan from Blackpool until the end of the season.

The Reds have kept clean sheets in four of the six matches Dunne, 23, has played in since his arrival at the start of the month.
"He has done well in what had been a problem position for us," Crawley manager Mark Yates told the League Two club's website.
"We're delighted to have him with us for the remainder of the season."


Fears have been raised that plans for a series of temporary water parks in Scotland could be a scam.

Thousands signed up to a Facebook page which promised to bring "thrill rides", including flumes and a mini-beach, to four Scots cities.
But Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh councils told BBC Scotland they had received no notification of the events.
A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said it appeared "extremely unlikely" the tour would take place.
The Safari Water Park Adventure Tour was viral hit on social media earlier this week when more than 5,000 people expressed an interest in the event.
The Facebook page revealed plans to tour 30 towns and cities across the UK in July and August.
However there are fears that the tour will never happen and the promotion is a "data mining" scam.
It comes after similar concerns were raised about a promotion for a non-existent tour based on the BBC's popular Total Wipeout series proved to be fake.
A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: "We're not aware of any contact with the council regarding this event - and it seems extremely unlikely that it would even be possible to transport, build and dismantle the kind of attractions pictured in a different town every couple of days.
"Unfortunately, similar Facebook events have previously been used to try and obtain personal information from anyone signing up."
Details of the so-called "tour" are sketchy. There is no official website, contact details or ticket information.
The photograph used to illustrate the page appears to be of a water park in Beijing.
They have failed to respond to a request for more information from BBC Scotland.
In a statement on the Facebook page, the organisers said: "Please note we do NOT request any data information, once we have licensing permission from the councils in every city, locations and exact dates will be disclosed."
Patrick Hogan, a spokesman for Citizens Advice Scotland, said it was unclear whether the water park tour promotion is a scam.
But he warned that data mining scams can look benign.
"They may ask you to register your support for particular events or causes, and even if they never explicitly ask at any point for personal information, the people behind the scheme can then comb through the profiles of those who have signed up and pull personal data from their profiles without their knowledge.
"They can then do with this data what they like, including selling these details on to online spammers or scammers.
"Consumers must therefore remain vigilant online and ensure any entity seeking your support or your personal information is legitimate and can be trusted.
"Ultimately, the more information we have on data mining scams, the better we can target our efforts to stamp them out. "


The football bureaucrats of the world were probably expecting to make global headlines as they gathered for the Fifa Congress in Zurich.

But the news so far has been bigger - and worse - than they can possibly have imagined.
The US investigation into corruption at the highest levels of the world's most popular game will have far-reaching implications for how the game is run - and who runs it.
As news of arrests at the top of Fifa began to sink in, the organisation said it was planning to go ahead as scheduled with the election of its president - which was expected to result once again in a kind of coronation for Sepp Blatter, the great survivor of world sports administration.
But there's another item on the agenda too - one that may still be troubling delegates far into the future when Mr Blatter is eventually gone and the corruption story has played itself out.
The Palestinian delegation wants Fifa to suspend Israel from world football.
This is not just about sport of course.
The Palestinians are pursuing a strategy they call "internationalisation" - which means bringing their grievances against Israel into as many international arenas as possible. And arenas don't come any bigger than Fifa.
The issue has been raised in previous years but some sort of deal was worked out to prevent the issue from coming to a vote.
This time the head of the Palestinian Football Association (PFA), Jibril Rajoub, says nothing will persuade him to remove the request from Fifa's formal agenda. There won't be any backroom deals - there will be a vote.
"I am going to end the suffering and the humiliation of the Palestinian footballers," he told me. "It is our right."
The Palestinians believe their case is strong.
They complain about how police and army checkpoints which restrict freedom of movement around the occupied Palestinian Territory of the West Bank hamper the ability of players and officials to get to games.
The point is illustrated in a video presentation in which a middle-aged Palestinian called Farouq Assi is captured on the cameras of a human rights activist blindfolded, handcuffed and in custody at an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank.
It's not a rare event. It's in the presentation because Mr Assi is a football referee and he was on his way to take charge of a game in Jericho when he was detained. The match was abandoned.
Palestinian territory is divided into two parts - Gaza and the West Bank. Israel controls all movement into and out of the West Bank through a series of checkpoints and it maintains strict controls at its crossing with Gaza through which players and officials have to travel to play West Bank teams.
Israeli sports officials argue they have no control over the policies applied at those checkpoints by Israeli security and intelligence agencies.
Mr Blatter made a trip to Israel and the Palestinian Territories ahead of the Fifa Congress in what appears to have been a failed attempt to stop the issue from being pushed to a vote.
Not long after he left an incident at an Israeli-controlled border crossing with Jordan illustrated the problem.
The Palestinian national team was leaving through the checkpoint on its way to play an overseas fixture - it flies through Amman in Jordan, a short drive across the desert rather than from Israel's main airport in Tel Aviv.
As they were leaving there were reports that one of their players, Sameh Maarabe, had been arrested by Israeli officials.
Israel explained later that Maarabe had been convicted last year of using an overseas trip to smuggle money and messages back into the West Bank on behalf of the militant group Hamas.
To Palestinians that's a story about the harassment of a footballer - to Israelis it's about issuing a warning about re-offending to someone who has a criminal record and who happens to be a footballer.
There are other grievances too - including the presence on Occupied Palestinian Territory of teams from Jewish settlements which are allowed to play in the Israeli league.
But Israel feels it has a positive story to tell about sport.
There are Arab players in the Israeli national team and at most top-flight clubs - although there is an exception in that Beitar Jerusalem has often attracted criticism for the racism of its nationalist fans.
Former English Premier League star Yossi Benayoun, who's arguably Israel's best-ever player, told me: "Sport is one of the only things that brings people together. In my experience I played with Muslims, Christians and any other religion and it's the same in Israel - during my time in the national team we always played with Arab players and it was the same for them.
"I hope it doesn't come to this decision, because it's nothing to do with sport."
For now the Israeli sports authorities have left their argument at that, but not everyone in Israel has been so diplomatic.
The well-connected Israeli legal campaign group Shurat HaDin, for example, has drawn attention to Jibril Rajoub's membership of the central committee of the Fatah movement, which has an armed wing.
It has found several militaristic quotes from Mr Rajoub talking about the Palestinian conflict with Israel and has written to Fifa demanding that he should be expelled, instead of the Israel Football Association (IFA).
Their letter is an illustration of the fear inside football that giving in to one expulsion request is bound to trigger others - what if Ukraine should demand the suspension of Russia over the annexation of Crimea for example, when the Russians are scheduled to host the next World Cup?
Within the world of sport there's always a tendency to keep difficult issues at bay by arguing that sport and politics don't mix - but of course in extreme cases they do.
Both apartheid-era South Africa and the now-vanished Yugoslavia led by Slobodan Milosevic were expelled from international bodies - the Palestinian chances of success at Fifa will depend on persuading enough delegates that their case matches those precedents.
Israel for now seems confident - partly because Sepp Blatter has clarified that the rules for suspension require a 75% majority, and partly because, in the words of the Israeli expert on international law Alan Baker, this is "a familiar grievance in a new forum".
The dramatic arrests which overshadowed the start of the Fifa Congress may have shifted the spotlight from the Palestinian case for now but this is an issue that won't go away.
Whatever happens to the proposal in 2015, there is nothing to stop the Palestinians from putting it back on football's agenda in the future.


A baby died after being born into a hospital toilet by a 41-year-old woman who did not know she was pregnant, an inquest has heard.

Medical staff failed to recognise Diane Thomas was eight months pregnant and in labour when she suffered "horrendous" stomach cramps, the inquest was told.
She was admitted to the Royal Cornwall Hospital but gave birth before getting access to an ultrasound scan.
The hospital said it was reviewing the hours scanning was available.
The inquest at Truro City Hall was told doctors believed Dianne Thomas, who was overweight, was experiencing a miscarriage when she reported suffering bad stomach cramps for two days.
She was admitted to a gynaecological ward the Royal Cornwall Hospital on 30 March but could not access an ultrasound scan until the following day.
In a police interview, Ms Thomas, from Madron, Penzance, said the following morning she reported "really bad pain" but a nurse had told her "if you were in that much pain you would be rolling around on that bed".
She said she went to the toilet and said within 15 minutes she gave birth to Ellie Nicholls in what she described as "a bad shock, like it was all a dream".
Nurses and a doctor described in statements how the baby had been initially stuck in the toilet and had then survived "for a few minutes" but resuscitation efforts failed.
The gestation period was believed to have been between 31 and 33 weeks.
Expert paediatrician Prof Peter Fleming said there was a chance Ellie Nicholls could have survived if her mother had been on a labour suite, but it was "very unlikely" as she had suffered a "very severe infection".
Karen Watkins, a consultant obstetrician from the Royal Cornwall Hospital told the inquest "the hospital recognised, if there had been access to a scan when Diane was admitted, the correct gestation may have been detected".
She said the hospital was looking at extending those scanning hours.
The coroner for Cornwall, Dr Emma Carlyon, concluded that Ellie Nicholls died of natural causes.


Hospital bosses have declared Lincoln's accident and emergency unit a "critical incident" due to a shortage of doctors.

United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) said it was "struggling to fill rotas" over the next few weeks.
Grantham and District Hospital's A&E unit has been closed overnight since last August because of the shortage.
The trust said it was "working hard to maintain a safe service" and urged people to visit A&E for only "serious or life threatening" conditions.
More on this and other stories from across Lincolnshire
Dr Suneil Kapadia, medical director at ULHT, said: "We are putting in steps to change our medical model. This means doctors from other specialities will be asked to support A&E senior decision makers to diagnose and treat medical and surgical patients who come through the doors."
In a statement, the trust said its "supply of doctors is drying up".
"We are overly reliant on short and long term agency doctors to fill staff rotas and due to a recent change in national tax rules (known as IR35), the availability of agency doctors has drastically reduced."
Boston Pilgrim A&E unit was also affected, but to "a lesser extent", the trust said.
Dr Kapadia warned people to "stay away unless they need emergency health treatment".
ULHT employs about 17 doctors across its three sites in Lincoln, Boston and Grantham, and needs a minimum of 21 to keep all of them open for 24 hours.
The trust took the controversial decision to close the Grantham unit at night to enable it to maintain safe staffing levels at its two other A&E departments, both of which take a higher number of patients.
It said it had extended the A&E's opening times by an hour, but campaigners branded this move as "ridiculous".


Two men have begun a bid to be the fastest and youngest double crew to row 3,800 miles from New York to the UK.

Tom Rainey and Lawrence Walters, both 23, are rowing the 23ft (7m) boat Yves, to Salcombe, Devon, with the aim of beating a 119-year-old record.
Team Ocean Valour aims to raise money in memory of Mr Rainey's father Luke, who died from a brain tumour in 2012.
The pair reported on their blog after the first day that "despite being knackered spirits are high".
The current record of 55 days and 13 hours was set in 1896, by Norwegians George Harbo and Frank Samuelsen.
Mr Rainey said the Brain Tumour Charity had helped his family after his father died.
"It was a port in what would otherwise have been an unweatherable storm," he said.
Oil industry worker Mr Rainey, from Salcombe was joined by engineer Lawrence Walters from Bristol in April, after rowing partner Sam Coombs, 25, from Somerset pulled out with a back injury.


A County Down couple, whose home was destroyed by a fire that spread from a recycling centre, say they're "overwhelmed" by the support they have received from their local community and beyond.

Andy and Rebecca Peden and their two-year-old daughter escaped from the house in Kiltarriff Drive, Rathfriland, in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The family lost all their belongings in the blaze, including their Christmas presents, wedding photographs and photos of their daughter.
However, in response to the news, more than ten thousand pounds has been donated online, with offers of help flooding in from across Northern Ireland.
Mr Peden said the outpouring of goodwill has brought back the sense of festive spirit which they believed was lost.
"It's been a real shock, but the generosity and kindness of everybody, it's just made it feel more like Christmas again," he said.
"We thought our Christmas was going to be lost this year, but the donations that everybody has given us will help to ease the pain that we've suffered.
"People refer to the help of the neighbours, we don't see them as neighbours now, we see them as friends. Without them, we wouldn't be here today.
"The shock of losing the house, it's a big enough shock, but the shock of the generosity and kindness of people, it's overwhelming.
"We can only thank the stores and the shops and all our friends and family and the local politicians from all sides, from the DUP, to the UUP, to Sinn FÃ©in.
"They've all rallied together and it just shows that Rathfriland sticks together as a community, no matter what race, colour or religion you might be."
Mrs Peden expressed relief that they now have presents for their child on Christmas morning.
"Otherwise we would have had nothing," she said.
"Things are looking a wee bit brighter now and we're just so thankful. We're in a bit of a daze"
The blaze broke out at about 02:00 GMT on Tuesday. Mr Peden said he was woken up by a neighbour banging on the front door.
"There could have been three deaths, if we hadn't managed to get out so quickly," he said.
Forty-two firefighters worked to bring the blaze under control.
"The heat coming through the panes of glass was incredible, it was boiling hot," said Mr Peden.
"I ran upstairs to wake Rebecca and Daisy [their daughter], just to tell them that there was a fire.
"Rebecca grabbed the child out of bed and started to come downstairs, I had to run up past her to get the keys for the front door.
"As soon as I opened the door the embers and the heat just met me at the front door and I knew we had to get out, I knew the fire was going to spread."
He added: "I just wanted my family to be safe, that was all that mattered to me."
The family had to borrow clothes as they left the house in their nightwear.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said the incident was of great concern to him, "especially given the fact that there was a risk to human safety".
"Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) officers are providing guidance and assistance to the fire service and they are assessing the environmental impact of the fire.
"NIEA officers have initially assessed the impact to the environment as low."
Other politicians praised firefighters for tackling the blaze in challenging conditions.
South Down MP Margaret Ritchie, of the SDLP, said there was "huge relief that nobody was killed or injured".
Sinn FÃ©in MLA Chris Hazzard said that was "no doubt due to the prompt response of the Fire and Rescue Service".
County Down fire crews from Rathfriland, Newry, Warrenpoint and Banbridge took part in the operation, along with a command support unit from Lisburn, County Antrim.
"On arrival, crews noted the fire involved one detached dwelling and plastics stored in the yard of a nearby factory," Paddy Gallagher, the fire service's area commander, said.
He added conditions were "particularly difficult due to high winds".
Last month, the assembly heard that since 2010, there had been 18 fires at waste recycling sites across Northern Ireland.


Saudi Arabia and Russia may have agreed to freeze oil output at January levels but their agreement is dependent on other producers following suit.

The dramatic fall in the price of oil from over $100 a barrel in the middle of 2014 to around $30 a barrel at the beginning of this year has preoccupied the world's economic community.
While this output freeze should help - indeed Bank of America Merrill Lynch said oil could be up to $47 a barrel by June - there is no doubt that oil producing countries are still under pressure from global oversupply and falling demand.
We've been looking at some of the figures to see what they tell us about the outlook for producers:
The cost of drilling new wells has been falling globally, but not by as much as the price of oil.
Half of oil production from future developments is uneconomic at $60 per barrel, and the sustainable price of oil is above $70 per barrel in the longer term, according to energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie.
In many parts of the world the cost of getting it out of the ground now far exceeds the price you'll be paid for it.
Even producers that are economically viable face a market that is oversupplied with oil.
India is the only economy that will see a consistent growth in oil demand for at least another 25 years.
The world's largest oil consumer, the US, will experience one of the world's largest reductions in oil demand, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
BP's 2016 Energy Outlook, which makes predictions for the next 20 years, also suggests that as demand for oil declines in western economies, India and China will account for half the increase in demand.
Wood Mackenzie says that development of some 68 major projects has been pushed back in the past six months.
Kazakhstan, Central Asia's richest nation, saw the biggest amount of deferred capital spending. It is estimated to have delayed 4.5bn barrels of oil production due to the collapse in prices.
And the growing fears of a "lower for longer" price environment will continue to put projects at risk.
British operators are seeing rig rates and labour costs - down more than 15% since the start of last year according to the industry body Oil & Gas UK - and this ranges from those employed directly by oil and gas companies, to Aberdeen taxi drivers and hotel staff whose livelihood depends on a thriving oil industry.
Royal Dutch Shell confirmed at the beginning of February that it would cut 10,000 jobs amid a sharp fall in annual profits and BP announced a further 3,000 job cuts after laying off 4,000 employees last year.
In 2015, investment in the upstream oil and gas sector globally fell for the first time in seven years by about 20%, as producers faced an oil price which has plummeted eventually to around $30 a barrel, says the IEA.
"Since the drop in oil prices from late 2014, there have been relatively few production shut-ins with less than 0.1% of global production halted so far - around 100,000 b/d [barrels per day] globally", says Stewart Williams, vice president at energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie, referring to occasions when oil fields put a cap on production.
But that is only less than 0.1% of global production. So why aren't more producers turning off the taps?
"Given the cost of restarting production, many producers will continue to take the loss in the hope of a rebound in prices", says Wood Mackenzie's Robert Plummer.


Banksy's Dismaland is set to close permanently on Sunday evening.

Despite being branded as Britain's most disappointing tourist attraction, Dismaland has sold out everyday for five weeks and attracted thousands of people to Weston-super-Mare.
The exhibition at a derelict seafront lido featured work by famous artists including Damien Hirst.
The attraction has proved to be the mysterious artists biggest show yet.


While there has been much criticism heaped on US actor Sean Penn for meeting fugitive Mexican drugs lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, there is another well-known name behind the interview between the actor and the cartel leader.

Kate del Castillo is a Mexican actress who brokered the deal between the Hollywood star and the most wanted man in Mexico and also was present at the meeting.
She is an actress who does not shy away from controversy.
Back in 2012, del Castillo made an open appeal to El Chapo urging him to use his drug trafficking empire for love, not violence.
She even said that she believed more in El Chapo than in "governments that hide the truth".
According to Sean Penn, the drug lord's lawyer contacted del Castillo after the appeal because El Chapo wanted to send her some flowers.
That was the starting point that led the actress to become the go-between for the Rolling Stone interview.
Kate del Castillo is a famous name here in Mexico for her acting roles.
Born in Mexico City in 1972 into an acting family, she is best known for her portrayal of drug boss Teresa Mendoza in the soap opera La Reina del Sur (Queen of the South).
La Reina del Sur is a drama based on the novel of the same name by Spanish author Arturo Perez Reverte.
In the series, del Castillo plays a young woman from Mexico who rises through the ranks of the Sinaloa drugs cartel to become the most powerful drug trafficker in southern Spain.
But for this latest "role", del Castillo has moved away from the fictional world of drug lords and is now at the centre of a real and very controversial drug trafficker's tale.
Del Castillo has not given any public comments since the Rolling Stone interview was published on Saturday.


A medical package delivered to Team Sky on the final day of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine contained a decongestant, team boss Sir Dave Brailsford told MPs.

Team Sky's former head coach Shane Sutton confirmed the package was for Sir Bradley Wiggins, who won the event.
The team have been under pressure to reveal the contents of the package following a Daily Mail allegation.
And Brailsford revealed it contained Fluimucil, which is legal in sport and "administered on a regular basis".
Speaking to the Culture, Media and Sport Committee he added: "There is no justification for taking a medicine without a medical need. If there is a clear need then it would be appropriate."
Brailsford said he had been told by then-team doctor Richard Freeman that "it was Fluimucil for a nebuliser". Fluimucil is a decongestant used to clear mucus.
Earlier on Monday, British Cycling president Bob Howden said the governing body's senior management were "not aware" of doping products being contained in the package.
Howden said he was under instruction from UK Anti-doping (Ukad) not to comment about the package to the committee of MPs on Monday. It came a few hours before Brailsford was told by Ukad - which has been investigating the matter - that he could reveal its contents.
"It's a shame we are here but I'm quite happy to be sharing this information with you," Brailsford told the committee.
"We've put 46 medals on the board since the partnership with British Cycling and none of that has been done in anything other than the right way.
"We've got fantastic people and they don't deserve to have this shadow cast over them. It pains me."
Wiggins, a five-time Olympic champion, was granted a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) to take anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone before the 2011 Tour de France, his 2012 Tour win and the 2013 Giro d'Italia.
His use of the drug, which treats allergies and respiratory issues, was released by Russian computer hackers known as Fancy Bears.
Wiggins' TUEs were approved by British authorities and cycling's world governing body the UCI, and there is no suggestion either the 36-year-old or former employers Team Sky have broken any rules.
TUEs allow the use of banned substances if athletes have a genuine medical need.
"With regards Bradley's first TUE it wasn't just the doctor on his own - we took Bradley to an independent consultant. It was a clear recommendation," said Brailsford.
"There's a triple lock for TUEs. The rider, the medic, the independent consultant. Then it goes to Wada [World Anti-Doping Agency] to sanction it - or not. It gives you a lot of confidence and I trust that system.
"It's about use and abuse. And we've never abused the system."
Former British Cycling technical director Sutton, who appeared in front of the panel before Brailsford, said he never asked for details about Wiggins' TUEs.
"I'm not a doctor. My job was outside that medical team, my job is to train the rider, their job is to make sure the riders are fit and healthy within the rules," said the Australian, who resigned from his position in April after being found to have used sexist language towards rider Jess Varnish. He was cleared of eight of nine charges against him.
"It is a clean team that has strict rules and doctors adhere to the policy - so why would I need to ask? Our record has been unblemished.
"These athletes have been tested more than anybody else in the world. I'm upset that you question the integrity of our team which is the greatest British team ever."

Finally we have been told what was in the notorious 'mystery package' that Team Sky had delivered to Sir Bradley Wiggins in France in 2011 - or at least what Sir Dave Brailsford says he has been told was in it by the team's former doctor.
Documentary evidence proving it was indeed Fluimucil is now crucial, although for now the sport will be relieved to hear that the contents of the Jiffy bag was nothing more controversial than a mere decongestant.
But questions remain:
Sadly for Team Sky and British Cycling, despite the belated clarity, for many critics the sense of suspicion will linger beyond today.


The final phase of a project to cut bin collections to once every three weeks is to be rolled out in Falkirk.

About 25,000 properties in Grangemouth, Falkirk and the Lower Braes will join the scheme, which the council started implementing last year.
Falkirk Council was the first in the UK to cut general household waste collections to once every three weeks.
Under the new system, the amount of waste discarded by households has reduced on average by 2kg per week.
Council bosses said the service has led to a reduction of about 400 tonnes of material sent to landfill per month, representing a significant saving in landfill tax.
It is estimated that once the whole Falkirk Council area is participating, 9,000 tonnes of landfill material will be diverted to recycling per year, saving £385,000.
Letters to residents will be issued from this week to the third phase areas explaining the changes, followed by a detailed information pack.
Council environment spokesman Craig Martin said: "The new service has been a success thanks to the support of residents who have made the effort to recycle more every week, particularly food waste.
"The increase in recycling means a reduction in the amount we pay in landfill charges and this is a saving we can use elsewhere. Last year we spent £2.5m sending material to landfill, much of which could have been recycled.
"We're confident that this final round of changes will be as successful as the first two and look forward to the support shown by our communities."

Two pioneers of stem cell research have shared the Nobel prize for medicine or physiology.

John Gurdon from the UK and Shinya Yamanaka from Japan were awarded the prize for changing adult cells into stem cells, which can become any other type of cell in the body.
Prof Gurdon used a gut sample to clone frogs and Prof Yamanaka altered genes to reprogramme cells.
The Nobel committee said they had "revolutionised" science.
The prize is in stark contrast to Prof Gurdon's first foray into science when his biology teacher described his scientific ambitions as "a waste of time".
"I believe Gurdon has ideas about becoming a scientist; on his present showing this is quite ridiculous; if he can't learn simple biological facts he would have no chance of doing the work of a specialist, and it would be a sheer waste of time, both on his part and of those who would have to teach him."
When a sperm fertilises an egg there is just one type of cell. It multiplies and some of the resulting cells become specialised to create all the tissues of the body including nerve and bone and skin.
It had been though to be a one-way process - once a cell had become specialised it could not change its fate.
In 1962, John Gurdon showed that the genetic information inside a cell taken from the intestines of a frog contained all the information needed to create a whole new frog. He took the genetic information and placed it inside a frog egg. The resulting clone developed into a normal tadpole.
The technique would eventually give rise to Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal.
Forty years later Shinya Yamanaka used a different approach. Rather than transferring the genetic information into an egg, he reset it.
He added four genes to skin cells which transformed them into stem cells, which in turn could become specialised cells.
The Nobel committee said the discovery had "revolutionized our understanding of how cells and organisms develop.
"The discoveries of Gurdon and Yamanaka have shown that specialized cells can turn back the developmental clock under certain circumstances.
"These discoveries have also provided new tools for scientists around the world and led to remarkable progress in many areas of medicine."
By David ShukmanScience editor, BBC News
Sir John Gurdon is relishing the story about his failings at school and how his teachers ridiculed any notion that he might pursue a career as a scientist. Dressed casually in a sweater, and rushed from his labs in Cambridge to face the world's media, a fine sense of humour allowed him to take today's tumult in his stride. When I met him, he admitted to being bemused that a Nobel attracted so much more attention than any other prize. I asked what he thought of the 50-year gap between publishing his ground-breaking paper, in 1962, and winning the award only now. Actually, he said, the experiment on the frog cells was carried out back in 1958 - "rather a long time ago", but he said, with infinite patience, that science works best by making sure one's theories are right.
Prof Yamanaka said it was a "tremendous honour" to be given the award. He also praised Prof Gurdon: "I am able to receive this award because of John Gurdon.
"This field has a very long history, starting with John Gurdon."
It is hoped the techniques will revolutionise medicine by using a sample of person's skin to create stem cells.
The idea is that they could be used to repair the heart after a heart attack or reverse the progress of Alzheimer's disease.
Prof Gurdon, now at the Gurdon Institute at Cambridge University, said: "I am immensely honoured to be awarded this spectacular recognition, and delighted to be due to receive it with Shinya Yamanaka, whose work has brought the whole field within the realistic expectation of therapeutic benefits.
"I am of course most enormously grateful to those colleagues who have worked with me, at various times over the last half century.
"It is particularly pleasing to see how purely basic research, originally aimed at testing the genetic identity of different cell types in the body, has turned out to have clear human health prospects."
Prof Yamanaka, who started his career as a surgeon, said: "My goal, all my life, is to bring this stem cell technology to the bedside, to patients, to clinic."
The president of the Royal Society, Sir Paul Nurse, said: "I was delighted to learn that John Gurdon shares this year's Nobel prize for physiology or medicine with Shinya Yamanaka.
"John's work has changed the way we understand how cells in the body become specialised, paving the way for important developments in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
"My congratulations go out to both John and Shinya."
Prof Anthony Hollander, the head of cellular and molecular medicine at the University of Bristol, said: "This joint Nobel Prize traces and celebrates the wonderful scientific journey from John Gurdon's pioneering early work to the sensational discovery of somatic cell reprogramming by Shinya Yamanaka.
"It's fantastic news for stem cell research."
Sir Mark Walport, the director of the Wellcome Trust, said: "John Gurdon's life has been spent in biology, from collecting insects as a child to over 50 years at the laboratory bench. He and Shinya Yamanaka have demonstrated conclusively that it is possible to turn back the clock on adult cells, to create all the specialised cell types in the body.
"Their work has created the field of regenerative medicine, which has the potential to transform the lives of patients with conditions such as Parkinson's, stroke and diabetes.
"This is a wonderfully well-deserved Nobel Prize."


The rollout of 20mph traffic zones across Bristol should be halted, according to Conservative councillors.

The Â£2.3m programme spearheaded by Mayor George Ferguson is nearly half complete, with 20mph zones operating in areas such as Clifton and Redland.
But Tory councillor Lesley Alexander wants the rollout stopped for a scientific assessment of their effect and impact on road safety.
Mayor Ferguson said the scheme's efficiency was already under review.
He said regular traffic counts, speed counts and household interviews were being undertaken, and local support for the zones was "clear".
Ms Alexander said the road safety case for the zones was not "conclusively confirmed" by either of the two pilot trials conducted in Bedminster and east Bristol.
She said with recent reports suggesting these speed limits were "actually making roads more dangerous", she was calling on the mayor to "urgently stop and assess the efficacy of the controversial speed zones".
She said a "more targeted approach" should be taken, with speed limits "only installed in places of obvious sensitivity or where there is local demand".
Campaign group Alliance of British Drivers has called for the government to halt the rollout of 20mph zones following increases in 20mph accidents.
However, Mayor Ferguson said the reduced speed limits introduced in Bristol were "undeniably helping to make streets safer and improve quality of life for local communities".
Areas including Eastville, Frome Vale, Hillfields, St George and Fishponds are expected to adopt the zones before the end of the year.
In January, many roads in the centre of Bristol and in Clifton, Cotham, Bishopston and Redland had the speed limit reduced from 30mph to 20mph.
The city-wide roll-out is due to be completed by March next year.
