Leicester City have had a £23m offer rejected for West Brom defender Jonny Evans before Thursday's transfer deadline.

The Foxes had a £10m bid for the former Manchester United player, 29, rejected earlier in the summer but have followed it up with a second offer.
West Brom say it is substantially below their valuation.
The Baggies have also rejected two bids from Manchester City, including one for £18m, for Northern Ireland's Evans.
Evans was absent from West Brom's squad for Sunday's 1-1 Premier League draw with Stoke City.
Manchester City are trying to offload France defender Eliaquim Mangala, 26, to create space in their squad.
Evans has joined up with the Northern Ireland squad in Manchester before Friday's World Cup qualifier with San Marino.


Hundreds of staff at the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in Wiltshire are facing another year of uncertainty over the future of their jobs.

More than 600 of the 800 employees at Porton Down are at risk of having their jobs relocated to Harlow in Essex.
The HPA proposed the move to a single site in 2010 but now the Department of Health wants at least another 12 months "to fully assess all the details".
Dorothy Fogg, from Unite, said despite uncertainty staff felt more positive.
The HPA has been responsible for responding to public health hazards such as swine flu since 2003.
In a letter sent to staff, the HPA said the government had requested a "considerable amount of additional work be done" on the business case for relocating staff to Essex which will "add a further year before the case is ready for resubmission".
Dr Christine McCarthy, the executive director of microbiology at the HPA at Porton Down, said employees had "anticipated a decision with a five year wait and now it looks like it will be six years".
"This is a very large investment of public funds - especially in the current climate - and they [the government] want as much information as possible to inform the final decision and they want to make the right decision,"  she said.
"But it's putting staff in a very difficult position - they have had two and a half years of uncertainty and this uncertainty is now going to be prolonged for yet another year."
But Dorothy Fogg, from the Unite union, said staff were also feeling optimistic about the decision.
"There's the uncertainty - they keep being told it will be sorted out year after year which causes frustration - but they're also feeling more positive," she said.
"And people are quite hopeful that when they review the case that they will hopefully recognise that it is better to keep the work and the people on site at Porton."
And MP John Glen said it was "very good encouraging news".
"What we're talking about here is spending possibly Â£300m on a very, very sensitive facility to deal with the most tragic circumstances in terms of public health so I think it's important that they get it right," he said.
"But what I think is interesting, in the letter that was sent to staff, is that Justin McCracken [chief executive of HPA] says that a decision in principle has not been made.
"I think that's an admission that the case has not been made and that those who work at Porton should be very reassured."


Two psychologists hired by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop enhanced interrogation procedures lacked the relevant experience, a new report finds.

The contractors had no background in counterterrorism, yet were paid more than $80m (Â£51m) for their services.
The CIA also allowed the men to assess the effectiveness of their own interrogation programme.
The revelations are outlined in a new Senate report on the "brutal" interrogations of al-Qaeda suspects in the years after the 9/11 attacks.
Suspects were interrogated using methods such as waterboarding, slapping, humiliation, exposure to cold and sleep deprivation.
Such procedures were developed, managed and reviewed by two contract psychologists with experience at the US Air Force Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape school.
But the report says "neither psychologist had any experience as an interrogator, nor did either have specialised knowledge of al-Qaeda, a background in counterterrorism, or any relevant cultural or linguistic expertise".
And yet, the two men were said to have personally participated in the interrogation of some of the CIA's "most significant" detainees.
They also determined whether a detainees' psychological state allowed for the ongoing use of enhanced interrogation, the report finds.
Meanwhile, the men served as liaisons between the CIA and foreign intelligence services, and were allowed by the intelligence agency to assess the effectiveness of their own work - work that was ultimately found by the Democrats on the Senate intelligence committee to be brutal and ineffective.
Identified under the pseudonyms Dr Grayson Swigert and Dr Hammond Dunbar in the report, the two men have been revealed by US media as military retirees Jim Mitchell and Bruce Jessen.
Dr Mitchell joined the Air Force in 1974, specialising in bomb disarmament before earning a doctorate in psychology focusing on diet, exercise and hypertension, according to the New York Times.
Dr Jessen, meanwhile, earned a doctorate focusing on "family sculpting" and later became a psychologist with the Air Force Survival School responsible for screening instructors posing as enemy interrogators.
Both men, said to be lieutenant colonels, became defence department experts on resisting enemy interrogations - but fellow psychologists reported scepticism and even concern regarding their methods, the New York Times adds.
After the 9/11 attacks, the Senate report says Dr Mitchell proposed using a concept called "learned helplessness" in interrogating al-Qaeda suspects to ensure complicity with captor's demands.
At the time, experienced interrogators argued such a strategy would demoralise a prisoner to such an extent that he would say whatever the interrogator expected.
In 2002, both men were tasked with reviewing a seized al-Qaeda manual which coached terrorists in how to resist interrogation.
In response, the men proposed introducing brutal techniques, including sleep deprivation and waterboarding, into US procedures.
When US operatives captured high-value target Abu Zubaydah, two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents used conventional methods to interrogate him at a Thailand CIA facility.
Then the CIA, as advised by Dr Mitchell, stripped the suspect and blasted music at him to prevent sleep. In the following weeks, Dr Mitchell reportedly took control of the interrogation and directly questioned the suspect himself.
Mr Jessen later joined the effort, and the suspect was waterboarded 83 times before it was determined he had no further information to offer.
According to the Senate report, a cable said to be authored by the two men indicated the interrogation of Zubaydah was a success.
It "should be used as a template for future interrogation of high value captives," they wrote, not because it produced useful information but instead because it confirmed the suspect did not possess the intelligence information the CIA had believed he was withholding.
Meanwhile, FBI agents involved in questioning the suspect objected to the strategy, with one special agent reporting to headquarters the two CIA psychologists had acquired "tremendous influence".
The FBI also argued that all usable information gathered from questioning the suspect came directly from earlier FBI-led inquiries.
The psychologists' methods were subsequently used at least two dozen more times, including in the 2003 interrogation of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
According to the Senate report findings, the two men assessed the suspect - said to be waterboarded more than 100 times - and recommended only they should further interrogate him on a monthly basis, charging four times that of other interrogators.
This prompted government concerns about conflict of interest, according to the Senate report.
This was "nowhere more graphic than in the setting in which the same individuals applied an [enhanced interrogation technique] which only they were approved to employ, judged both its effectiveness and detainee resilience, and implicitly proposed continued use of the technique - at a daily compensation reported to be $1800/day".
In 2005, the psychologists formed Mitchell Jessen and Associates with offices in Washington state and Virginia. By 2007 the company had grown to nearly 60 employees, earning millions from CIA contracts after the agency outsourced nearly all its interrogation operations.
But, in 2009, US President Barack Obama's then-CIA director Leon Panetta decommissioned the agency's secret jails and vowed contractors would no longer conduct interrogations, terminating the partnership.
By then, Dr Jessen and Dr Mitchell had received nearly half of their $180m CIA contract. This was not before the CIA had already agreed to a $5m indemnification contract covering, among other things, criminal prosecution.
In 2007, Mitchell Jessen and Associates hired a law firm and billed the CIA more than $1m in legal expenses through 2012.
Under the CIA's current contract with the company, they are obligated to pay legal expenses until 2021.


Jetstar Airways has apologised to a New Zealand passenger who was offended by being asked if she was pregnant.

A flight attendant asked the question as Grethe Andersen, who was not pregnant, was boarding the flight on Sunday from Wellington to Auckland.
Ms Andersen complained to the airline that the attendant showed "no remorse" in asking her the "rude question".
Jetstar told local media it contacted her on Tuesday to apologise and offered her a NZ$100 ($67; Â£44) flight voucher.
Like many airlines, Jetstar has a policy of requiring women who are more than 28 weeks pregnant to produce a doctor's note certifying they are fit to travel, for safety and liability reasons.
Ms Andersen, 24, alleged the male attendant had gestured at his stomach and asked her: "How many weeks are you?"
She said she did not get an apology at the time.
Ms Andersen told New Zealand media she posted an account of her experience on Jetstar's Facebook account saying she felt "self-conscious", and added: "I used to be quite heavily overweight and even then was never met by such a rude question and especially no remorse from the flight attendant."
Her post could no longer be found on the Australian-based airline's New Zealand or Australian Facebook pages as of Wednesday.
A Jetstar spokesman told news service NZME that it "sincerely apologises for the distress the passenger experienced".


Liverpool will "take the opportunity" when they play holders Sevilla in the final of the Europa League on 18 May, says Reds manager Jurgen Klopp.

Media playback is not supported on this device
After losing the first leg of their semi-final 1-0 in Villarreal, Liverpool produced a dominant display at Anfield on Thursday to win 3-1 on aggregate.
"When you perform like we did then you want to have it all and that is what we will try," said Klopp.
"We will go there and try to do everything for this wonderful club."
The match - at St Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland - will be Liverpool's first European final since losing 2-1 to AC Milan in the Champions League in 2007.
The Reds have won eight of the 11 European finals they have appeared in - five of seven in the European Cup/Champions League and three of three in the Uefa Cup/Europa League.
Should they beat Sevilla, who are trying to win the Europa League for the third successive season, they will join the Spanish side as the most successful in the competition with four victories and earn a place in next season's Champions League.
"I don't know what it means that it is nine years between Liverpool's last final," said Klopp, who replaced Brendan Rodgers as manager in October.
"A lot of teams want to go to finals, it is not too easy, but it is a real opportunity and we will take the opportunity."
An early Bruno Soriano own goal set Liverpool on their way, before second-half strikes from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana completed victory over their Spanish opponents, who finished the match with 10 men after Victor Ruiz was sent off.
Liverpool, Champions League winners in 2005, were backed by impressive support from the moment the team bus arrived at the stadium.
Hundreds of fans packed Anfield Road to welcome their players and continued their vociferous support throughout the game.
Klopp says as many as 100,000 Liverpool fans could travel to Switzerland for the final, though FC Basel's stadium can only hold 35,000.
Klopp did not name a recognised striker in his starting line-up for the first leg, with Sturridge left on the bench.
However, he restored the England international to the first XI and was rewarded with an impressive performance.
Sturridge scored Liverpool's second after being the closest Reds player to Soriano when he put through his own net - and he was also involved in Lallana's goal.
Klopp said the 26-year-old had a "great game", adding: "When Daniel Sturridge is fit he is an unbelievable striker, but even he needs players to play with and I know about his quality, I knew before I came here. Great player."
Liverpool produced another memorable European performance at Anfield, after coming from 3-1 down to knock Borussia Dortmund out in the previous round.
It means Klopp is into his second final with the club since taking charge just seven months ago. They lost on penalties to Manchester City in the League Cup final in February.
"In 2016, the team have shown a lot of times what they could be capable of in the future so that's a good sign and that is more important for me as a manager," said Klopp.
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen said on BT Sport: "Over the last few months we've really seen something special.
"There's such high energy levels, the pressing we all knew Jurgen Klopp was going to bring over. But he's just improving players - the likes of Adam Lallana, Simon Mignolet and Dejan Lovren - as well.
"There's special times ahead. It's almost like they are unbeatable here. It's becoming a fortress."


Prince Charles has joined tributes to a Scottish community whose loss of lives in World War One may have been greater than previously thought.

The Duke of Rothesay laid a wreath on a visit to a new memorial cairn built by the community of Cabrach in Moray.
The cairn commemorates the farming community and neighbouring parishes at Rhynie, Lumsden and Dufftown.
The Imperial War Museum suggests that, between battle and disease, the number of war dead could be several hundred.
Along with those officially acknowledged "lost in battle" are the many who died from disease in France and Belgium. It is thought that coming from such a remote rural area, they had little resistance.
A recent BBC TV programme, examining the effects of World War One on rural Scotland, quoted an eminent Dutch historian speaking on behalf of the  Commonwealth War Graves Commission, who referred to the ruined crofts and farm buildings of the Cabrach as representing "perhaps the biggest War Memorial in Europe".
Charles, wearing a Gordon Highlanders kilt, took part in a short service with local residents, followed by a minute's silence.
He then laid a wreath which said: "In special memory of those from the Cabrach, and the parishes of Rhynie, Lumsden and Dufftown who lost their lives during the First World War."
The prince chatted to locals, including Royal Observer Corps veteran John Gordon, 88, who laid a wreath on behalf of the community. His family has farmed in the Cabrach area for more than 300 years.
The memorial project was led by Marc Ellington, a leading authority on Scottish cultural heritage, who said: "Each and every aspect of the construction of the cairn has involved members, both young and old, of the Cabrach Community working closely with master craftsman Euan Thompson, a specialist in traditional dry stone construction.
"As well as being one of the finest memorial cairns to be built in Scotland in recent years, this is an outstanding example of what a local community, working together with energy and determination, can achieve."


As Hurricane Patricia bore down on Mexico last week people became very nervous.

There were warnings that the impact could be catastrophic and comparisons with Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, which killed more than 6,000 people, made those in the path of Patricia fear for their lives.
But Patricia's strength weakened as quickly as it had built up.
In the space of three days it had gone from tropical storm to an intense category five hurricane, back to tropical storm again. The death toll was an almost unbelievable zero.
The hurricane's path changed and in the end hit a relatively unpopulated part of the coast, avoiding the tourist resort of Puerto Vallarta and the busy port of Manzanillo, before heading into the mountains.
Inevitably, once danger had passed, the jokes started appearing.
One went like this: As soon as Hurricane Patricia entered Mexico, it was robbed of five categories - typical Mexicans!
And then there were the accusations that this was all just a storm in a teacup - that President Enrique Pena Nieto had exaggerated the potential catastrophe to make himself look good.
But even amid the teasing, for the first time in a long time, there was far more praise than criticism of Mr Pena Nieto's administration who's faced low approval ratings for quite some time.
Patricia hits Mexico: Key questions
After the storm: Clean-up begins
BBC Earth explains: What is a hurricane?
From the very start, as Patricia's winds started intensifying, television and radio bulletins warned people of the incoming storm. President Pena Nieto was on the television and radio.
He and every other government agency, it seemed, were tweeting about the coordinated effort between federal and state governments and warning people to get away from the coast.
In the end, catastrophe was averted. Mr Pena Nieto said that the shock of the hurricane had "brought together all Mexicans".
"The fact that there were no deaths was mostly down to the faith of the Mexican people," he said.
But experts have a different explanation.
"The federal government was effective in orchestrating the preventive measures in the build-up," says Lourdes Pintado of Control Risks in Mexico City, who said the co-ordination between state and federal agencies worked well.
"The strategy focused on setting up shelters, supplying security personnel and communicating both the level of the threat and the preventive measures to the individuals on the coastal areas that were most vulnerable," she says.
"They got lucky," says Prof Richard Olson, the director of the Extreme Events Institute at Florida International University in Miami.
"But they also have a reasonably strong civil protection system and so in this kind of an emergency and in this kind of event they are going to look pretty good."
Lourdes Pintado thinks lessons have been learned - last year when Hurricane Odile hit Baja California, co-ordination between state and federal government was stronger after the hurricane than before. That hurricane also had a higher death toll.
For Prof Olson those lessons go back much further and date back to 1985 when Mexico City was hit by a massive earthquake that left at least 9,000 people dead and 30,000 injured.
"The entire Mexican system will never forget 1985 and how bad that made the entire PRI regime look," he said, referring to the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) which was in power at the time.
"After that, they really worked hard to build up from the municipal to the national level and a pretty robust system so that nobody would look that bad ever again."
While the government can be pleased with the outcome, every hurricane is different and this could have turned out very differently had the hurricane continued on its path to a major city or had there been major flooding.
Around 80% of hurricane deaths are caused by water, according to Prof Olson.
"The key is we have to keep this success in perspective because every event is a test," he says.
"They look pretty good on this one but I can run you an alternate scenario where this one could have been a disaster not just an emergency."


England's Lizzie Armitstead and Emma Pooley claimed gold and silver in the 98km women's road race at the Commonwealth Games.

Armitstead, 25, overhauled Pooley with 7km to go to win her first gold after silver medals at Delhi in 2010 and the London Olympics two years ago.
Pooley, 31, who now retires from cycling, cried as she crossed the line for her second silver of the Games.
South Africa's Ashleigh Pasio was third and Scotland's Katie Archibald seventh.
Armitstead becomes the first English woman to win a road race title at the Commonwealths.
She summed up the achievement as "special, surreal", adding: "This is something I have always dreamed about; it means so much to me. I am always a runner-up."
In what proved an aggressive race from the start on a seven-lap route around the streets of Glasgow, Australia spearheaded numerous attacks and the field of 63 riders was soon whittled down.
But England, with Dani King, Laura Trott and Hannah Barnes alongside Armitstead and Pooley, reeled in any breakaways as they sought to control the race.
The decisive break came with about 40km remaining and was led by Armitstead and Pooley, a five-strong group initially getting away before Archibald, who had won a bronze medal on the track, and Australia's Gracie Elvin managed to bridge the gap.
Pooley, who claimed silver in Thursday's time trial, then launched a concerted solo effort in an attempt to break up the leading pack and prevent a bunch sprint, enabling Armitstead to seize the initiative as heavy rain began to fall.
"I am really happy," said Armitstead, who had won the national title on the same course in 2013. "That was the best cycling teamwork I have ever been a part of. It's such a shame Emma is retiring today - it was a fantastic job from her and all the girls and I am really proud of them."
Pooley, who will now focus on triathlons and marathons, added: "That was unexpected! We were working for Liz and I wanted to do everything for her. When she came past me and I was still clear [of the chasers], I thought I might as well keep going.
"It's been a long nine years, and it was nice to finish on a high."


Sir Bradley Wiggins will line up for the third Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic cycle race this summer.

Event organisers said it would be his first race on UK roads since setting a new UCI Hour Record at the Olympic velodrome earlier this month.
Huge crowds are expected to turn out to see the Olympic and world champion on 2 August.
Race director, Mick Bennett, said the cyclist now had "rock star status". "Every race wants Wiggins," he said.
The 200km race starts on Horse Guards Parade, heads out of London through Kingston upon Thames and past Hampton Court and then over the River Thames into Surrey.
The riders will face a 2.4km climb on Staple Lane in the Surrey Hills and will race through Dorking before going up Leith Hill - Surrey's highest point - and then follow the zigzags of Box Hill before returning to London.
Twenty five teams of six riders will take part - Wiggins will be leading his newly-formed team.
He said: "It's always fantastic to race on home roads and this race is very special."
London mayor, Boris Johnson, said people would line the capital's streets to see the world's top cyclists and British fans would shout even louder at the sight of Wiggins.
Surrey county councillor, Richard Walsh, said Wiggins was a cycling superstar who would perhaps inspire a future champion.


A man has appeared in court in Rotherham charged with 22 offences against girls under 16.

Bannaras Hussain, 35, of Bridge Close in Goole, was remanded in custody at Rotherham Magistrates' Court.
He is due to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 24 June for the offences, which are alleged to have happened over a four year period from 1998 to 2002.
Mr Hussain's brother Sageer Hussain, 29, also of Bridge Close in Goole, is due to appear in court on 9 July.
South Yorkshire Police said the charges were the result of Operation Clover, a joint investigation in partnership with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and the Crown Prosecution Service.
Senior Investigating Officer Martin Tate said: "This is a complex and protracted investigation with a vast amount of work still to do.
"Eleven other men remain on bail in connection with this investigation.
"I want to continue to encourage victims of all sexual crime to come forward."


Markets in Asia traded higher, picking up on a rebound in oil prices and a strong lead from the US and Europe.

The slight relief comes after days of heavy sell-offs earlier in the week.
Comments from European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi that more monetary easing was being considered also added to traders' confidence.
The region's largest market, Japan's Nikkei, rose 3.2% to 16,524.91 points after hitting at 15-month low the previous day.
Amid takeover reports, electronics company Sharp saw its shares rise another 7%.
Media reports that the struggling company had received takeover bids from Taiwan's Foxconn and state-backed Innovation Network had already sent the stock higher on Thursday.
Markets in China also managed to recover some of the past days' heavy losses.
The mainland benchmark Shanghai Composite gained 0.8% to 2,901.32 points, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 2.2% to 18,950.19 points.
In Australia, the S&P ASX 200 rose by 1.1% to 4,917.40 points.
Among the market's standout performers were several of the big oil and commodity companies, buoyed by a rise in the oil price.
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto were 6.3% and 2% up respectively, while Santos climbed just under 10%.
Stocks of winemaker Treasury Wine Estates also stood out, jumping as much as 12.5% to a record high after the company provided strong full-year profits guidance in a market update.
In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index followed the region's trend, gaining 1.8% to 1,873.11 points.
In London, Paris and Frankfurt, markets closed almost 2% higher, while Wall Street finished up as oil prices had their biggest one-day gain this year.
Confidence was also boosted by Mr Draghi, promising more monetary easing to steady the eurozone if necessary.
He said eurozone rates would "stay at present or lower levels for an extended period" and there would be "no limits" to action to reflate the eurozone.
His reassurance helped to offset fears about the low oil price and worries about global growth.
The oil price recovered during US trading, although it remains at around 12-year lows.
Oil prices have been falling since mid 2014, as oil-producing countries have maintained their high output output levels despite the decline in revenue.
Pointing at the excess supplies on the market, the the International Energy Agency earlier this week warned that oil markets could "drown in oversupply" in 2016.
Many analysts have slashed their 2016 oil price forecasts, with Morgan Stanley analysts saying that "oil in the $20s is possible."
Economists at the Royal Bank of Scotland say that oil could fall to $16, while Standard Chartered predicts that prices could hit just $10 a barrel.


New Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon has targeted promotion to the Scottish Premiership after saying he has joined "one of the biggest clubs in Scotland".

Former Celtic and Bolton Wanderers manager Lennon, 44, has signed a two-year deal at Easter Road.
Lennon replaces Alan Stubbs, who left for Rotherham United after guiding Hibs to the Scottish Cup.
"The remit is to get them out of this division and that's the challenge that lies ahead for me," Lennon said.

"It feels great. I'm very excited. The more I thought about coming here, the more the excitement and anticipation built.
"The infrastructure is fantastic. The club's in a good place.
"I think it's one of the biggest clubs in Scotland. I think it's probably punching below its weight the last couple of seasons and I think the potential here is huge to get it going again."
Lennon had been out of the game since leaving Bolton Wanderers in March and says the potential at Easter Road was one of the biggest factors in his decision to move to Edinburgh.
"You can see what success can bring with 150,000 on the streets of Edinburgh when they won the cup and that was a by-product of why I wanted to come here," he explained.
"It feels like I have a real challenge on my hands and that's what I need. I'm a football animal, I want to work and I want to be successful."
Lennon had been linked with a return to Celtic, where he had won league titles on three successive years before leaving in 2014, and does not know how close he was to a return to Glasgow before Brendan Rodgers was appointed as Ronny Deila's successor.
"I was interviewed," he said. "I know there was a high calibre of candidate involved.
"I think it's a great appointment and I know what it will mean to Brendan as well with his background and I'm sure he is very much looking forward to the challenge as I am at Hibs."
As well as promotion, Lennon insists he is looking at Hibs' long-term ambitions and aims to "inspire" the club to greater things.
"I would like to get back to the days when Tony Mowbray was in charge [2004-06] when he had them finishing in third or fourth place [in the top flight]," he said. "I think that's par for the course for a club of this size. It's a bit of a way off but ultimately that will be the aim.
"I want to inspire a generation here."
The Northern Irishman's first game in charge will be a Europa League qualifier on 14 July and he is relishing getting back on the training ground with the squad when they return from their summer break.
"I am excited, I'm like a 44-year-old big kid," he added.


Two men who attempted to abduct a serviceman near an RAF base were likely to have been "part of a larger team", police have said.

The serviceman was threatened with a knife near RAF Marham on Wednesday afternoon and attempts were made to grab him.
Det Supt Paul Durham said the victim "only witnessed two attackers" but there could have been more.
Police are also appealing for dash-cam footage from people in the area.
Drivers in the Marham and King's Lynn areas are being urged to come forward with video as it may hold vital clues.
"Many people now use these devices and they may contain something that the driver or rider isn't aware of," Det Supt Durham said.
The serviceman was able to hold off the attackers and return to the base.
Initial inquiries have revealed there were a number of people walking on Squires Hill, near Costcutters, around the times of the incident.
It is hoped CCTV could be used to help trace a dark people carrier that is thought to have been used by the suspects, who are yet to be found.
"While the victim only witnessed two attackers, there may have been more than two people in the vehicle and given the nature of the attack, it is likely they were part of a larger team," Det Supt Durham said.
"So I would urge people to review their footage from the week leading up to the incident and contact us if they feel it could assist the inquiry."
Police have now lifted the cordon at the attempted abduction scene.


Thailand is to lift its state of emergency on Wednesday, as tensions ease following weeks of anti-government protests.

Officials say the emergency decree will be replaced by the Internal Security Act.
The 60-day emergency decree, imposed on 22 January in Bangkok and surrounding provinces, gave the government wide-ranging powers to deal with disorder.
Anti-government protesters want PM Yingluck Shinawatra to resign.
The protesters, who began their campaign in November, accuse the government of being run by ousted former leader Thaksin Shinawatra, Ms Yingluck's brother.
They want her government replaced with an unelected "people's council".
At the height of the demonstrations, protesters shut down key road junctions in Bangkok and blockaded government ministries.
Numbers have fallen in recent weeks, however, and the protesters are now mainly occupying a city-centre park.
At least 23 people have died and hundreds have been injured since the protests - Thailand's worst political violence since 2010 - began late last year.
Ms Yingluck approved the decision to lift the emergency decree during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
"We have agreed to lift the state of emergency and use the Internal Security Act (ISA) starting from tomorrow until 30 April as the number of protesters has dwindled... and after pleas from the business community," National Security Chief Paradorn Pattanathabutr told Reuters news agency.
The ISA, though less wide-ranging than an emergency decree, allows the government to impose curfews, put up security checkpoints and restrict protesters when the need arises.
The government declared the state of emergency ahead of the snap general election held on 2 February, called by Ms Yingluck in response to the protests.
Crisis explained in 60 seconds
The battle for Thailand's soul
But without the backing of the army, which is meant to play a central role in enforcing the state of emergency, it was ineffective, says the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok.
Political violence continued and the protesters were able to block the election sufficiently to ensure that its results are still inconclusive, our correspondent adds.
The opposition boycotted the election, but polls proceeded as scheduled in most parts of the country. However, protesters disrupted voting in some constituencies, leaving parliament without a quorum, meaning a new government cannot be formed.
Despite the easing of protests, the political tensions remain unresolved. Ms Yingluck's government still has to navigate several legal challenges in the courts.
The Election Commission is still refusing the government's request to finish the polling.
The prime minister herself is facing charges of negligence over a government rice subsidy scheme, which critics say was rife with corruption. The scheme benefited farmers, who form the core supporters of the ruling party.
If found guilty, Ms Yingluck could be removed from office and face a five-year ban from politics.


Linfield have won the signing battle with Crusaders over Josh Robinson after the Irish FA stated on Friday that he has registered as a Blues player.

The IFA said it received contract forms from Linfield at 19:56 BST on Thursday and then Crusaders at 22:56.
Both clubs had claimed to have signed the former York City player.
Crusaders are now seeking legal advice over Robinson, who was paraded as a Linfield player at Windsor Park before the IFA announcement.
"The Irish FA received Standard Professional Contract forms for Josh Robinson from both Linfield FC (7:56pm) and Crusaders FC (10:56pm) yesterday evening," the governing body stated.
"Having considered the documentation received from both clubs, and based upon Irish FA regulations regarding priority of registrations, the Irish FA can confirm that the player is successfully registered with Linfield FC."
The Belfast clubs made announcements on Twitter late on Thursday announcing the capture of Robinson, who is 24 and from the city.
Robinson spent one year with York after joining them from Crusaders.
Linfield stated the player had agreed a four-year deal, while Crusaders said he had signed a three-year contract which had been recorded with the Irish FA.
It is understood Robinson trained with the Crusaders squad on Tuesday night.
On the official Linfield website, team manager David Healy said: "I'm delighted to be able to advise our supporters that Josh Robinson has agreed to join Linfield.
"Josh is a player I have admired and have been keen to bring to the club to increase the competition levels within our squad."
Linfield's announcement was quickly followed by one from Crusaders claiming Robinson had already signed an agreement to return to Seaview.
The Crues said that on Robinson had signed a pre-contract agreement on 9 June, and that all the necessary documentation had been lodged with the IFA.
"It is great to have Josh back in the fold," said Crusaders treasurer Tommy Whiteside.


Charlie Flynn won on his professional debut against journeyman Ibrar Riyaz at Glasgow's Thistle Hotel on Sunday.

The Scottish Commonwealth gold-winning lightweight, 21, claimed a 40-36 points win against the Englishman.
The victory came four-and-a-half months after Flynn enjoyed success at Glasgow 2014 and four weeks after confirming his move into the pro ranks.
Earlier, Flynn's Scotland team-mate Joe Ham beat Georgian David Kvaratskhelia with a pro debut first-round knockout.
"The atmosphere was unbelievable," Flynn told BBC Scotland after his fight at Glasgow's Thistle Hotel in front of about 1,000 fans.
"They were crammed in like sardines. I was blown away by the support."
The Motherwell fighter has signed up with promoter Alex Morrison, who staged Sunday night's event, and is trained by Peter Harrison.
He will certainly face tougher opponents than 29-year-old Riyaz, who has lost 67 of his 74 fights, but he could not be faulted in the way he went about his winning performance.
"I was feeling good in there. He was a tough nut to crack," he said.
"Why not go in and box him? I've never been four rounds before.
"He was using his head, using his elbows. My coach said to me, 'work behind your jab, use your technical ability, stop running in like a madman'.
"Everybody loved it, they got their four rounds, it was great.

"He wanted me to walk into a shot. He was showing off, inviting me in so he could drop a bomb on me. He's got an old head on him.
"He was waiting on me to make a stupid mistake - a daft wee amateur who thinks he's the golden boy - and bang, he lamps me. I just kept my composure."
Super-featherweight Ham is another fighter who lit up Glasgow 2014, though his defeat by the classy English boxer Qais Ashfaq in the quarter-finals meant there was no Commonwealth medal.
He too was making his pro debut and was thankful that he and his dad, his trainer at the Hayfield club, had done their homework.
He said: "We had studied the boy. I knew what punches to throw. We'd been working at the left hook to the body and when I land it clean that's what happens - they don't get up.
"It was a good knockout for my first fight."
Like Flynn, the five-time Scottish amateur champion was buoyed by the home support.
"For years and years, nobody took any notice and since the Scottish Championships at the Emirates and the Games it has just exploded," he said of the backing.
"The place burst into song. It was great to get in there and find my feet."
In the evening's other results, Glasgow's Ryan Smith won his fourth professional bout, this time against Lee Connelly from Killamarsh in Derbyshire.
"He came out guns blazing and I managed to deal with it," he said after winning every round.
"I could tell when he was planting his feet he was going to fling punches but I clicked on how to dodge them.
"I'm good at the head movement. He was flinging hooks from both sides and I was going underneath and dodging them.
"I felt the last round was my strongest."
Another Glaswegian, Jonathan Slowey, won on points against Lithuania's Simas Volosinas, Ham's club-mate Stewart Burt, another making his pro debut, impressed in his win over Fonz Alexander at welterweight, Wishaw's former kick-boxer Scott Allan edged a decision against Bristol's Omran Akbari and Glasgow's Jamie McGuire beat Dewsbury's Youssef Al Hamidi.


A Stirling amateur orchestra is the only Scottish finalist in a classical music battle of the bands featured in a new BBC television competition.

Stirling Orchestra, which formed in 1983, is one of the five competitors in All Together Now: The Great Orchestra Challenge.
The four-part BBC4 series aims to find the UK's top amateur orchestra.
Stirling made it to the final five after 250 orchestras initially entered the competition by submitting videos.
The orchestra, which has about 70 members, includes a horse riding coach, a social worker and a microbiologist.
It will face the London Gay Symphony Orchestra, North Devon Sinfonia, the Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra and Birmingham-based People's Orchestra in the competition.
The winning orchestra will perform on stage at the BBC Proms in the Park, in Hyde Park.
Stirling Orchestra draws amateur musicians from across central Scotland and rehearses every week at the city's Wallace High School.
It performs two or three concerts a year in Stirling's Albert Halls.
Stephen Broad, the orchestra's conductor for the past 12 years, said: "I think that when an orchestra plays well together the whole experience of it becomes much more successful, both for the orchestra and the audience.
"We have a huge range of abilities in the orchestra but you can still achieve a really successful concert if you look for everyone to play together well."
There were only eight weeks between the orchestra's first rehearsal and the first knock-out round of the competition.
Cellist Gemma McAusland said: "I think you get the discipline of having to practice.
"When you're just sat at home and you've got nothing to aim for, nothing to practice for, you can very quickly become out of practice yourself.
"Coming to orchestra once a week forces you into that routine of having to get the instrument out of the case on a regular basis.
"That in turn improves your playing over a longer period of time and it's enjoyable as well."
The show will be presented by BBC Proms presenter Katie Derham.
The orchestras will be mentored by double-bassist Chi-chi Nwanoku, and conductor Paul Daniel will judge the competitors.


Demonstrators took to the streets of Edinburgh to protest at Israel's offensive on Palestine.

The protest, organised by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, started at the foot of the Mound and made its way along Princes Street.
It came amid claims that the death toll in Gaza has now passed 1,000 since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on 8 July.
Organisers said they wanted to send a message that governments "must take steps to isolate Israel immediately."
There was a strong police presence, but no serious incidents have so far been reported.


Child criminals should be given life-long anonymity, a government-commissioned review has recommended.

Ministers are considering introducing a law to indefinitely ban the media from identifying young offenders.
Currently, anonymity granted to under-18s by the youth or crown courts in England and Wales expires when they become adults.
The Ministry of Justice said it will discuss the proposals "with interested parties".
If such a law had been in place when Robert Thompson and Jon Venables murdered two-year-old James Bulger, the public would never have known their identities.
The recommendations are part of a review into the youth justice system in England and Wales by child behavioural expert, Charlie Taylor, to reduce reoffending.
The report states that 69% of children sentenced to custody go on to reoffend within a year.
Mr Taylor says the current system "must evolve to respond... to the challenges of today".
Under current legislation, child suspects are granted automatic anonymity in the youth courts and are routinely granted the same if they appear at crown court aside from exceptional circumstances.
But once a child turns 18, their name can be reported.
The report says this "risks undermining their rehabilitation as their identity could be established on the internet even though a conviction may have become spent for criminal records purposes".
Instead, Mr Taylor recommends automatic anonymity should also be granted in the crown court and the reporting restrictions should last the lifetime of young defendants.
The Just for Kids Law charity welcomed the recommendation, saying: "Being named and shamed for what they have done or accused of doing prevents them ever being able to move on."
Penelope Gibbs, vice chair of the campaign group Standing Committee for Youth Justice, said children must be given the "maximum possible chance of rehabilitation".
"There's good evidence that the kind of vilification that is associated with a child that has committed a very serious crime being identified, destroys those chances of rehabilitation," she added.
But the Conservative MP for Kettering, Philip Hollobone, told the Times "the public has a right to know" the identities of those convicted for serious offences.
Bob Satchwell, executive director of the Society of Editors, also hit out at the proposal, telling the Times: "The idea of a blanket ban would be against any concept of open justice and the public's right to know and is a step too far."
The Ministry of Justice has said it would "discuss these proposals with interested parties, including the Home Office, media and youth justice interest groups in order to better understand the case for change and consider the appropriate way forward."
Earlier his month, Justice Secretary Liz Truss announced two new "secure schools" for teenage offenders.
The schools - which were among Mr Taylor's recommendations - will focus on maths and English and will also provide apprenticeships.


Police have said a suspicious object found in the grounds of a hotel in Londonderry was a bomb.

It was discovered on Friday at the Waterfoot Hotel.
A controlled explosion was carried out and police initially said it was an elaborate hoax.
After a further examination, police said it was bomb. A police recruitment session is due to be held at the hotel next week.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton said the bomb had the potential to harm anyone in the area and that those involved had shown a "total disregard for human life".
"We are obviously very thankful that this attack was thwarted and that no one was killed or seriously injured," he said.
Police said no warning was given and blamed dissident republicans for carrying out the attack.
Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers condemned those responsible.
"This device was intended to cause injury and sought to stop those people who want to secure a career in policing to serve their community and make Northern Ireland a better place," he said.
"It is a potent reminder of the threat the police and public still face from terrorism."
"The contemptible actions of those behind this incident are an affront to everyone who wants a peaceful and prosperous Northern Ireland."
Sinn FÃ©in MLA Raymond McCartney said those who had left the bomb had "nothing whatsoever to offer the people of Derry".
"Not only have they brought disruption to the city, they have also endangered the safety of hotel staff, guests, customers and passers by," he said.
"Their reckless actions are so far out of touch with the views of the vast majority of the people of Derry."
Two police recruitment events are under way in Belfast and Omagh after alerts at the planned venues ended.
Belfast Met's Millfield campus and the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh, County Tyrone, were evacuated and nearby roads were closed after the alerts began on Friday.
Police said on Saturday that nothing untoward was found during searches at both sites.
A planned republican protest is taking place outside the Millfield campus.
A large part of the town centre in Omagh was evacuated as a result of the alert at the Strule Arts Centre.
Shops, businesses and the town's bus depot were closed and students at South West College were sent home.
The alert at the Millfield campus caused disruption to rush-hour traffic in Belfast city centre.
Anne Connolly, the chair of the Northern Ireland Policing Board, said: "It is despicable that the suspect device at the Waterfoot Hotel has now been confirmed as a viable bomb.
"Despite the disruption, it is clear that that people wishing to pursue a career will not be deterred. It is positive that the recruitment seminars have been well attended and that 2,400 applications have been received to date."


Sprinter Sacre won for the first time since April 2013 with a 14-length victory in Cheltenham's Shloer Chase.

The nine-year-old former champion chaser did not race last year as he was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat, and has had two second places in 2015.
Jockey Nico de Boinville took his mount to the front at the fourth-last and surged clear to win from Somersby.
At Punchestown, hot favourite Faugheen's 11-race unbeaten run ended as he was second to Nichols Canyon.
Faugheen started the Morgiana Hurdle as a 1-6 chance but, despite finishing strongly, came home half a length behind his stablemate.
Willie Mullins, who trained the first three in the race, said: "Faugheen was a little disappointing. Maybe he just met a good horse."
Meanwhile, a jubilant crowd were thrilled to see Sprinter Sacre return to the kind of form he showed in 2012-13, when he won five Grade One races in a row, including victories at the Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown festivals.
De Boinville, who won the Gold Cup on Coneygree in March, said: "It's just an amazing experience to finally get to ride him in a big event like this - we go back a long way."
Trainer Nicky Henderson said: "He's taken to us to some amazing places over the years, but probably nothing anywhere like that was today.
"It had to happen or otherwise the doubters would have been winning the argument and we had to come and do something."
"The conditions of the race were in his favour. We're not all the way there, but we are going in the right direction."


A seven-year-old boy who was killed when he was hit by a van in Moray has been named by police.

Kieran McQuillan, who was from Elgin, died following the accident which happened on Brechan Rig, in the town at about 17:30 on Friday.
Police said he may have been riding a white scooter at the time.
They have appealed for anyone who saw the Red Renault Master van or Keiran in the area before the accident to contact them.
Kieran had fair hair and was wearing a blue top and blue jeans.
Sgt Steve Manson, of Police Scotland, said: "Our thoughts continue to be with Kieran's family and friends at this time.
"Local residents may see and increased police presence in the area while we continue our investigations into the collision and anyone with any information who hasn't yet come forward can speak with these officers or alternatively contact Police Scotland via 101."
The van was being driven by a 46-year-old man who was uninjured.
A friend of Kieran's family has set up a JustGiving page to help pay for his funeral.


A former grammar school teacher has been jailed for three years for historical child sex offences.

John Mead, 76, of Timbrills Avenue, Sabden, was convicted by a jury of four counts of indecent assault involving three boys under the age of 14.
Preston Crown Court heard he committed the offences in the 1970s when he taught at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (QEGS), Blackburn, Lancashire.
QEGS said it was glad to bring an end to the "dreadful matter".
The school said: "Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School is glad to hear that the sentence of former physics teacher John Mead to a prison term of three years brings to an end this dreadful matter.
"We hope that Mead's victims will feel that justice has been fully served and they may now have the closure they deserve after so long a wait."
The school said it had fully co-operated with the police but said Mead's crimes were committed more than 40 years ago and had nothing to do with the modern school, which "observes the highest standards of child safeguarding".
Det Sgt Julie Cross, from Lancashire Police, said she was pleased Mead had been given a custodial sentence and hoped it would bring "some closure to his victims so that they start to move on with their lives".
She added: "We are committed to investigating all allegations of this nature thoroughly and sensitively."
Mead has also been placed on the sex offenders register.


Hillary Clinton may not have shattered the ultimate glass ceiling, and indeed women globally still occupy a meagre percentage of top public sector posts, but as Gemma Handy reports, there is one Caribbean country where females are bucking the trend.

December saw the election of the first female premier of the tiny British territory of Turks & Caicos (TCI). She is Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson.
Women also claim the titles of deputy governor, attorney general, chief justice, chief magistrate, director of public prosecutions and five of the seven permanent secretaries, among others.
In fact, with more females markedly outperforming their male counterparts, efforts are now being made to motivate young men in a bid for equality.
Turks & Caicos' Gender Affairs Department, traditionally aimed at empowering women, is shifting attention towards helping high school boys "become more focussed and take up pivotal roles in society", says Deputy Governor Anya Williams.
That includes everything from official commemoration of International Men's Day, to "build a boss" summer camps which teach young men vocational skills and include seminars on peer pressure, anger management and communication.
So how did the women of Turks & Caicos achieve what many others still dream of?
Ms Cartwright-Robinson, whose PDM party snared a landslide victory in the 15 December general elections, says she was simply "the best man for the job".
Campaigning on a manifesto of social justice and open, transparent governance, she beat 52 other candidates to the top post.
Her triumph put an end to a 13-year reign for the PNP party, led from 2003-9 by former premier Michael Misick who remains on trial for corruption after his lavish spending prompted a commission of inquiry, followed by a three-year return to direct British rule.
Ms Cartwright-Robinson says that her eight years of parliamentary experience, including an advisory position to the UK interim administration, stood her in good stead for her new job.
"There may still be one or two pastors who think women can't lead but because of the work I have done over the last few years, I wasn't looked at as a woman but as a person who could get the job done," she told the BBC.
But she thinks that women do bring something special to the job.
"Women pay more attention to details and bring that level of personal touch. We are indeed occupying positions never before held and are doing remarkably well," the first female premier in any of Britain's overseas territories said.
But she added that trendsetters like herself never had an easy path.
"I celebrate the women in TCI who are shattering glass ceilings. These recent appointments demonstrate a level of maturity in my country that we can all be proud of."
Rhondalee Braithwaite-Knowles describes the volume of high-powered women in the islands generally as "noticeable".
In February 2014, Ms Braithwaite-Knowles became TCI's first female attorney general following an open selection process which attracted applicants from across the globe.
"There are a lot of very strong women in TCI who play significant roles, who are very active in civic society and very vocal - in both the corporate world and government," she explained.
Of the 17 students from TCI currently training overseas to be lawyers, 14 are female.
"It's an interesting dynamic," she said. "I have found in my professional life that women have more emotional intelligence which is very useful when solving disputes."
Ms Braithwaite-Knowles says while she has never been a victim of discrimination, "condescension" from older male professionals is more prevalent.
"Sometimes you feel you have to prove your worth and that you're in the position purely because of the quality of your work. With older men in senior positions, your gender can be a distraction for them but after a while the fact that you're a female seems to disappear."
What can be tougher to deal with, the attorney general continues, is balancing a demanding working life with being a mother to her seven-year-old son and a wife.
"But women are versatile so we are best suited to it."
She added: "The fact that women have reached these positions is an accomplishment. It's even better when we are able to demonstrate that we got there following an open and fair competition."
Deputy Governor Williams agrees.
Her role, second only to London-appointed Governor John Freeman, was also thrown open to candidates worldwide.
Previous position-holders had been directly appointed, not recruited.
Ms Williams, whose job includes oversight of the civil service and its 1,700 employees, was sworn in as a member of the cabinet for the second time on 21 December.
She tells the BBC women have long held prominent roles in the country of 35,000 people, particularly in the fields of education, medicine, politics and government.
"In TCI I see no barriers for entry or upward mobility," she said.
But she warned: 'Whilst it's great having females in so many top positions, as a mother of a young son we must ensure that our young males are motivated, encouraged and given opportunities to excel and take up future positions as well so that we have a gender-balanced society."


Jay Z could be taking on Spotify, Deezer and others with a music streaming service of his own.

The rapper's company, Project Panther, has bid to take over Sweden-based Aspiro for a reported $56m (£37m).
The firm owns WiMP - which rivals Spotify in some countries - and Tidal (which streams music in HD).
The move will put Jay Z in competition with Beats Music, founded by Dr Dre and bought by Apple in 2014.
Tidal currently offers users access to 25 million tracks, in addition to 75,000 music videos and other content including artist interviews for £19.99 per month.
That contrasts with Spotify's charge of £9.99 per month for 30 million tracks.
When Tidal launched in the UK, What HiFi's review said the relatively high subscription charge was "a fair price to pay" in return for its quality.
Jay Z has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and is estimated to be worth $520m (£345m), but as well as being one of the world's biggest selling music artists, he has a range of business interests.
If successful, his bid will add streaming to a portfolio including 40/40 Club sports bars, Armand de Brignac Champagne and clothing brand Rocawear.
The rapper's company Project Panther described Aspiro as "an innovative high-quality company with strong future growth potential".
WiMP has 512,000 paying users in Europe, making it far smaller than its main rival Spotify - it boasts 15 million paying subscribers across more than 60 countries.
The deal looks set to go ahead as Aspiro published a press release welcoming the offer.
"Panther is deemed to possess the capacity to develop the company in a privately owned environment," it said.

The TUV leader, Jim Allister, has accused the DUP of "genuflecting to the Irish Language brigade".

His comments came as the DUP met a number of Irish language groups at Stormont on Thursday as part of its move to learn more about the language.
Mr Allister said the DUP was "preparing to pay Sinn Fein's price for the return to office".
In a statement, the DUP said Mrs Foster is engaged in a listening exercise. The engagement so far has been useful."
In February, Arlene Foster said her party would never support an Irish language act.
Mrs Foster told her party during the Northern Ireland Assembly election campaign that she would not "capitulate" to demands from republicans for legislation to give official status to the language.
The Irish Language group, POBAL, met the DUP to discuss its campaign for an Irish Language Act which is seen as one of the main stumbling blocks in the talks process.
Speaking to reporters afterwards, Janet Muller, POBAL's director, said Arlene Foster was "very open " and engaged in a very  "positive way".
Mrs Muller said she sensed there had been a "genuine conversation going on" between her group and Mrs Foster and DUP colleagues, including Edwin Poots.
"We're not, by any means, of one mind, but I think there was a genuine sense there that people were listening to each other," she added.
The DUP also met Conradh na Gaeilge, one of the oldest Irish language groups, founded in 1893 by Douglas Hyde.
Spokesman Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin described the meeting as "positive and friendly" and said it was a  "worthwhile and useful exercise ".
He said that the DUP had confirmed "they were looking at content and legislative provision for the Irish Language.
"In terms of what it looks like we have yet to see," he added.
TUV leader Jim Allister, who opposes an Irish Language Act, said:  "The DUP's genuflecting to the Irish Language brigade should serve as a warning to all who oppose the de-Britishisation of Northern Ireland that Arlene Foster is preparing to pay Sinn Fein's price for the return to office."
On Wednesday, Mrs Foster said thank you in Irish during a visit to a school in County Down.
She used the Irish phrase "go raibh maith agat" after meeting staff and pupils at Our Lady's Grammar School in Newry.
Seeing Irish language students perform songs and drama had "uplifted" her, she added.
The DUP said Mrs Foster had "met a wide range of groups and individuals from throughout the British Isles".
"There are a wide range of opinions on how the language should be supported in the future.  Whilst Jim feels threatened by engagement, we do not."
Last week, Sinn Féin's Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said Mrs Foster's decision to plan meetings with Irish speakers was a "positive move".


Air cadets have been marching through Swansea to celebrate being granted freedom of the city.

The 215 (Swansea) Air Training Cadet Squadron congregated for a parade starting at the Guildhall at 10:45 GMT.
Road closures were in place as members marched along St Helens Road, Dillwyn Street, Oxford Street and Castle Square before returning to Guildhall.
The honour recognises the squadron's 75th year and its community work.
The air cadet squadron, which is a youth organisation sponsored by the Royal Air Force for 12 to 20-year-olds, helps the Royal British Legion Swansea branch organise Remembrance events and the annual Poppy Appeal.
Members also help raise funds for the RSPCA, the RNLI, Maggie's Cancer Centre, Cancer Research UK, as well as military charities.
Lord Mayor of Swansea, councillor John Newbury, said the squadron had raised more than Â£503,000 for Remembrance events in the past 12 years and the council was immensely proud of its work.
"Granting the squadron honorary freedom of the city and county of Swansea is an apt way of helping celebrate their 75th anniversary this year and recognising all the terrific fundraising work they've done," he added.
Others given the freedom of Swansea include the Welsh Guards and former US President Jimmy Carter.


North Lanarkshire Council has suspended three members of staff amid an ongoing investigation into corruption claims.

The investigation began in April after an anonymous letter made "serious allegations of corruption" about the council's procurement processes.
The staff, from the authority's Corporate Property and Procurement, were suspended on full pay following an internal audit investigation.
The council said a full disciplinary investigation would now take place.
North Lanarkshire Council chief executive, Paul Jukes, said: "I received an extensive report from internal audit last Friday (September 30).
"Having considered the report, I have taken the decision to suspend three members of staff from Corporate Property and Procurement on full pay to allow for a disciplinary investigation to take place.
"The council will have no further comment to make while this disciplinary investigation is carried out."


A project aiming to revolutionise medicine by unlocking the secrets of DNA is under way in centres across England.

Prime Minister David Cameron has said it "will see the UK lead the world in genetic research within years".
The first genetic codes of people with cancer or rare diseases, out of a target of 100,000, have been sequenced.
Experts believe it will lead to targeted therapies and could make chemotherapy "a thing of the past".
Just one human genome contains more than three billion base pairs - the building blocks of DNA.
This four-year project which will look at 100,000 genomes is being run by Genomics England,.
Pilots have been set up at centres across England - including sites in Newcastle, Cambridge and London - and the first genome was sequenced on 30 May.
The project has now passed the 100 genome mark, with the aim of reaching 1,000 by the end of the year and 10,000 by the end of 2015.
The genome of a patient's tumour will be scoured for differences with the genetic code of their healthy tissue.
People with rare diseases, usually children, will have their DNA compared with that of close relatives.
University scientists and a drug companies will be allowed to access the data for their research.
They argue that understanding DNA will soon play a role in every aspect of medicine from cancer to cardiology.
Cancer is one of the main areas the project will focus on.
Tumours are caused by mutations in DNA which lead to abnormal cells growing unchecked.
Previous genetics research has shown how different cancers can be - for example that breast cancer is not one disease but at least 10 - each with a different cause, life expectancy and needing a different treatment.
And the development of targeted drugs such as Herceptin, only given if a patient's breast tumour has a certain mutation - has been possible because of genetics research.
Fifteen thousand families with rare diseases will take part in the project.
Edward Sherley-Price has first-hand experience of just how little is known about some conditions.
His 11-year-old daughter Alysia has regular seizures.
She was diagnosed with a developmental delay before her second birthday, but the cause was unknown.
It took until 2013 for genetic testing to discover what was wrong - a rare genetic mutation in a gene known as STXBP1.
The family say getting a diagnosis has given them a renewed sense of optimism.
The 100,000 Genomes Project could help people like Alysia by identifying a specific mutation, which lead to taking part in future drug trials.
Sir John Chisholm, executive chair of Genomics England, said: "In Britain we were the discoverers of the structure of DNA, we were huge players in the human genome project and now the time has come for the next major step forward.
"One hundred thousand sequences is a very large step; it's a huge commitment."
Genomics England will be based at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which is already a world-recognised centre of genetics research.
Prof Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, said: "I can see a future where genetics is going to come into every bit of medicine from cardiology to oncology to infectious diseases."
He said there were already targeted therapies for some breast, lung, bowel and blood cancers.
"Twenty years from now there's going to be a plethora of those, we will have a series of mutations which academics and industry will have developed therapies for, which will be targeted at you and specific for that cancer."
He said chemotherapy, which attacks all dividing cells in the body, would be replaced with such therapies.
"We will look back in 20 years' time and think of blockbuster chemotherapy [as] a thing of the past and we'll think 'Gosh, what an era that was'."
David Cameron has announced a series of investments across government, industry and charities totalling Â£300m.
He said: "I am determined to do all I can to support the health and scientific sector to unlock the power of DNA, turning an important scientific breakthrough into something that will help deliver better tests, better drugs and above all better care for patients.
"I believe we will be able to transform how devastating diseases are diagnosed and treated in the NHS and across the world."
NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens said: "The NHS is now set to become one of the world's 'go-to' health services for the development of innovative genomic tests and patient treatments, building on our long track record as the nation that brought humanity antibiotics, vaccines, modern nursing, hip replacements, IVF, CT scanners, and breakthrough discoveries from the circulation of blood to the existence of DNA."


A man involved in a serious car crash has died of his injuries two months later.

The crash happened on an unclassified road between West Stafford bypass and Crossways, near Dorchester, on 14 March.
A silver Nissan X-Trail was in collision with a white Iveco van.
The 77-year-old driver of the Nissan, who was from the local area, suffered serious injuries and has since died in hospital.
His front-seat passenger - a 76-year-old woman also from the local area - and the van driver both suffered serious injuries but are recovering.
Dorset Police said no arrests had been made.


A ferry promised 19 months ago to serve commuters between Brixham and Torquay has finally arrived in port.

The Brixham Express catamaran was due to begin operating in December 2014 but was delayed because of safety certificate issues, its owners said.
Stand-in ferries ran for the first five months and were subsidised with a government grant of £544,000, equivalent to £170 per passenger.
Brixham Express said services will begin after further inspections.
The ferry was waiting for a safety certificate in Donegal, Ireland, from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), its owners said.
The MCA said it had been "awaiting confirmation" that defects had been rectified.
Since last April, the ferry firm has been running a 35-seater boat between Torquay and Brixham instead of the promised catamaran.
Mary O'Driscoll, of Brixham Express, said: "Before [the catamaran goes] into service she will need further inspections by the authorities and also familiarisation with the crew.
"As soon as she is fit for service we will have very exciting opening offers to allow the public to enjoy the commute."
Brixham shopkeeper Helen Meacock said: "It's arrived too late and I think it's going to struggle.
"People have been waiting more than a year and a half for this service and it really isn't good enough."
But, cafe owner Clive Higgins said: "It's a positive thing for Brixham - anyone who gets people moving around the bay is a good thing, if it's used properly."


Revenue at e-commerce giant Alibaba jumped 60% in the first three months of the year, powered by a growing customer base in China.

More than 450 million Chinese shoppers used its sites during the quarter, with the average annual spending up by about a third, Alibaba said.
The growth pushed revenues for the period to $5.6bn (Â£4.3bn).
But investors weren't satisfied, sending shares down 3% on Thursday.
Alibaba, started by billionaire Jack Ma, is the dominant online retailer in China.
The Chinese business accounts for 67% of Alibaba's revenue, or $3.7bn - a 41% rise on the same period last year.
Like its US rival Amazon - which claims more than 300 million customer accounts - Alibaba has expanded into a wide range of services, including cloud computing and media, via its Youku Tudou video hosting service.
Alibaba said it had more than 870,000 customers for its cloud computing services at the end of March. Quarterly revenue from that unit doubled from last year, reaching $314m, the firm said.
Digital media and entertainment revenue grew even faster, rising 234% year-on-year to $571m.

Alibaba has said it also plans to expand internationally for future growth. International retail sales in the quarter more than tripled from 2016, to $353m.
The firm acquired the Singapore e-commerce site Lazada last year.
Total profits in the quarter were $1.5bn, up 98% year-on-year.
But for the financial year that closed in March they declined about 40%, a drop the firm attributed largely to its film division, Alibaba Pictures Group.
"Our robust results demonstrate the strength of our core businesses, as well as the positive momentum of our emerging businesses," said Maggie Wu, the firm's chief financial officer.


The FTSE 100's recent record-breaking run showed no sign of ending as the UK's main share index set new intra-day and closing highs.

The index climbed above the 7,500 level for the first time, closing at 7,522.03 points after nine days of gains.
Confidence in the outcome of the UK election and a recovery in commodity stocks helped lift the index, analysts said.
Continuing weakness in the pound also helped, they added.
"Investors seem to be feeling confident about the outlook for Britain under what is expected to be the biggest Conservative party majority since Margaret Thatcher," said Jasper Lawler of LCG.
Laith Khalaf, analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Investors will be thinking that the 8,000 mark is hovering into view."
Sterling dipped after the latest UK inflation report, before rallying back to the $1.29 level. The inflation rate jumped to 2.7% last month from 2.3% in March.
Connor Campbell of Spreadex said: "The Bank of England appears reluctant to combat rising prices with a rate hike; combine that with the alarming squeeze on real wages and the pound has little reason for cheer, something that only works in the FTSE's favour."
In general, a weaker pound lifts the FTSE 100 as many companies on the index have significant revenues from overseas. A weak pound means these revenues are worth more when converted back into sterling.
The pound also slipped 0.7% against the euro to 1.1663 euros.
Vodafone was the biggest riser on the FTSE 100, with the mobile giant's shares rising nearly 4% as investors overlooked a hefty annual loss and focused on its upbeat outlook.
It expects profits to rise due to healthy revenues from contract customers.
Hargreaves Lansdown was by far the biggest faller, ending 8.5% after US exchange-traded fund provider Vanguard said it planned to sell directly to investors in Europe for the first time.
Shares in EasyJet fell 7.3% after the airline reported larger-than-expected half-year losses.
The airline recorded a loss of Â£212m in the six months to March, partly due to the impact of the lower pound and the timing of Easter.


Former England goalkeeper Scott Carson has signed a new two-and-half-year contract with Derby County.

The 31-year-old joined the Championship side from Wigan in June 2015 and has made 64 appearances for the club.
"It's great news that Scott has signed a new contract and a real boost too," said Rams manager Steve McClaren.
"Good goalkeepers can win you 18-21 points in a season, if you are looking towards achieving something, and Scott is well on the way to that."
Carson, who won the last of his four England caps in 2011, has played in all 23 of Derby's league games this season, keeping 13 clean sheets.
McClaren added: "I don't know what you would have to pay for a goalkeeper of his quality right now, but it would cost us fortunes to replace him."
Derby are seventh in the Championship.


Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says some of the club's young players "are not ready" for first-team action.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Mourinho has named eight players who could make their debuts in his squad for Sunday's last Premier League game of the season against Crystal Palace.
"To play so many kids at the same time, honestly, I don't think is good. You want them to be surrounded by players who support them," said the Portuguese.
United are guaranteed sixth place, while Palace are safe from relegation.
Sam Allardyce's side are 13th going into the match at Old Trafford (15:00 BST kick-off), but a victory and other results going their way could see them finish as high as 11th.
Mourinho's side face Ajax in the Europa League final in Stockholm on Wednesday knowing victory will earn them a place in the group stages of next season's Champions League.
Goalkeepers: Kieran O'Hara (21), Joel Castro Pereira (20).
Defender: Demetri Mitchell (20).
Midfielders: Zachary Dearnley (19), Angel Gomes (16), Josh Harrop (21), Scott McTominay (20), Matthew Willock (20).
In addition, striker Marcus Rashford, who has 11 goals this season, defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who has played 10 times this season, and Axel Tuanzebe, who has played four times, should be in the United squad on Sunday. All three are 19.
United have already won the EFL Cup this season, and Mourinho's team selection has Wednesday's Europa League final in mind.
Mourinho said Paul Pogba - the world's most expensive player - will play on Sunday having missed the past two games after the death of his father, while fellow midfielder Marouane Fellaini will have a scan on a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, captain Wayne Rooney - who has been linked with a summer transfer - may have missed the chance of an Old Trafford farewell, as Mourinho said the England international would "probably not" be involved.
"It's a great experience for the kids but they are not ready. Maybe one at a time but not all together," added the former Chelsea manager.
"I spoke with [Under-23 coach] Nicky Butt and his opinion is important. When they played at Old Trafford, I have been there. They trained with me many times. I know the kids.
"We bring the ones who are more adapted to our team at the moment. Our biggest problem is the number of matches. It is unbelievable."

"We have made arrangements to look after his church duties and to offer support to his parishes at this difficult time.
"We will make no further comment while the police investigation is ongoing."
Mrs Thrower said: "It is with great sadness that we find ourselves in the situation we are now in.
"Whilst this has come as a shock to us as a family, we are all supporting Martin with unconditional love at this difficult time."
Dean Thrower, who is also rural dean of Hadleigh, was released on police bail until 10 October.


Sutton United clinched promotion to the National League as they secured the National League South title with a 2-0 home win over Chelmsford City.

Victory was Sutton's 20th in 25 games since their last league defeat on 7 November and came one week after their vital win over second-placed Ebbsfleet.
Dan Fitchett put the hosts ahead against Chelmsford and Ross Stearn added a second before half-time.
They return to the fifth tier for the first time since relegation in 2000.


India has created history by successfully launching 104 satellites on a single mission, overtaking the previous record of 37 satellites launched by Russia in 2014.

All but three of the satellites are from foreign countries, most of them from the United States.
The launch took place from Sriharikota space centre in south India.
Observers say it is a sign that India is emerging as a major player in the multi-billion dollar space market.
"This is a great moment for each and every one of us. Today we have created history," project director B Jayakumar was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the first to congratulate the scientists tweeting, "This remarkable feat by @isro is yet another proud moment for our space scientific community and the nation. India salutes our scientists."
The phrase "world record" has also been trending on Twitter India for much of Wednesday morning.

Why India's commercial space programme is thriving
Of the 104 small satellites, 96 belong to the United States while Israel, Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland and the Netherlands are the other foreign clients.
A majority of the satellites have earth-imaging capability and belong to a US company named Planet.
An Indian cartographic satellite, believed to be capable of taking high resolution images is also on board. It is expected to be used to monitor regional arch rivals Pakistan and China.
The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says the successful launch is yet another feather in the cap of India's ambitious space programme that has earned a reputation of offering a reliable low cost alternative to existing international players.
The Indian government has increased the budget for its space programme this year and also announced plans to send a mission to Venus.
Over the past two decades, India has become a key player in the lucrative commercial space market offering a low-cost alternative.


People waving Confederate flags have greeted President Barack Obama as he arrived at his hotel in Oklahoma.

As his motorcade rolled into Oklahoma City on Wednesday night, about 10 rebel flags were in the crowd, alongside some US flags.
Critics of the emblem, used in battle by southern states in the US Civil War, say it is a symbol of slavery.
A backlash against the flag has grown since a gunman killed nine black people at a church bible study last month.
Dylann Roof, who was charged with the killings, was pictured holding the flag.
The incident comes a week after the flag was removed from the grounds of the South Carolina state capitol grounds in Columbia, after years of bitter argument.
Large retailers like Walmart have also been clearing their shelves of any trace of the emblem.
But some of the flag-wavers told local newspaper Tulsa World that the flags were not "a racial thing" but merely "in protest".
There were also people holding US flags and signs supporting the president.
People took to social media to express how they felt about the contentious flag flying upon Mr Obama's arrival, saying the actions of a few do not represent the people of Oklahoma.
Others shrugged it off and said the US president has dealt with this kind of thing before.
Others called flying the flags "supporting Oklahoma heritage".
Mr Obama was in Oklahoma to visit El Reno Federal Correctional Institution, making him the first sitting president to visit a federal prison.


China's supreme court has ruled in favour of US basketball legend Michael Jordan in a trademark dispute.

The People's Supreme Court ruled a Chinese sportswear company must stop using the characters for Jordan's name, read as Qiaodan in Chinese.
Qiaodan Sports registered the name more than a decade ago but Jordan's lawyers said it built its business around his Chinese name without his permission.
Jordan has welcomed the decision which overturns previous rulings against him.
"I am happy that the Supreme People's Court has recognized the right to protect my name through its ruling in the trademark cases," he said in a statement sent to the BBC.
"Chinese consumers deserve to know that Qiaodan Sports and its products have no connection to me."
"Nothing is more important than protecting your own name, and today's decision shows the importance of that principle."
The basketball star first started legal action against Qiaodan Sports in 2012.
His team argued that Qiaodan's trademarks had damaged his legal rights to use his name and asked the court to invalidate more than 60 trademarks used by the company.
The court agreed Qiaodan Sports had violated trademark law and its registration of the name should be revoked.
But his win is only a partial victory.
While the company cannot use Jordan's Chinese name, the court upheld a ruling allowing it to use the Romanized version of Qiaodan, pronounced "Chee-ow-dahn."
A Shanghai court is yet to hear a separate naming rights case.


A man who was stuck in waist-deep mud for more than an hour has been taken to hospital with suspected hypothermia, coastguards said.

The man, in his 30s, was checking boat moorings in Mylor Creek, near Falmouth in Cornwall when he got stuck.
Falmouth Coastguard said a mud rescue team with specialist equipment rescued the man.
He was taken to the Royal Cornwall Hospital for treatment.
A coastguard spokesman said a resident who lived nearby called the emergency services at about 15:00 GMT on Saturday.
He warned people to be cautious around tidal waters.


Education Minister John O'Dowd has said he wants "all children and young people" in Northern Ireland to be involved in shared education projects.

He has published his policy on shared education.
Its aim is to enable more children and young people from different community backgrounds to be educated together.
Shared education can include sharing campuses like Lisanelly in Omagh, as well as pupils in separate schools engaging in joint classes.
Teachers and school governors from different schools can also work together to share good practice.
The policy says that "all children and young people should have the opportunity to be involved in shared education".
As part of the drive to achieve this, a Shared Education Bill will be introduced to the assembly, although this has been delayed due to the failure of the executive to meet recently.
Schools will also be required to outline their plans for engaging in shared education, while teachers in training will be given the opportunity to learn together.
Extra funding of Â£25m over four years has previously been made available to schools engaging in shared education projects.
The executive's 'Together, Building a United Community Strategy' also included a target to commence 10 new shared education campuses in the next five years.
Most children in Northern Ireland - around 92% - are educated at schools mainly attended by either Protestant or Roman Catholic pupils.
However, many schools have pupils from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.
The minister says that shared education helps to raise educational standards and reduce underachievement; makes better use of resources, and builds good relations among young people.
Shared education is not the same as integrated education, where schools enrol similar numbers of Catholic and Protestant children as well as pupils from other religious and cultural backgrounds
Integrated schools aim to enrol at least 30% of their pupils from the minority community in their catchment area, although can start with as little as 10% of pupils from that community.
A number of organisations consulted about the shared education policy expressed the view that integrated education was preferable to shared education.
However, the Department of Education said that integrated schools would benefit from taking part in shared education projects.


Two years ago Ryan-Zico Black was getting ready to play in Brazil's historic Maracana stadium, sharing the pitch with his legendary Brazilian namesake in front of 70,000 fans.

On Saturday, the 34-year-old forward will board a flight to Gatwick Airport with the rest of his Guernsey FC team-mates for an FA Cup preliminary round tie against Phoenix Sports in Barnehurst, south-east London.
When Black's parents compromised on his unusual first name in 1981, little could they have known that he would go on to play alongside Romario, Leonardo and Adriano in the annual Amigos do Zico (Friends of Zico) charity match at the famous Rio venue.
Black, a non-league journeyman and author of a book detailing the reality of life as a semi-professional footballer, was invited by former midfielder Zico after his story was documented on Brazilian television.
The Guernsey-born player, whose list of former clubs include Morecambe, Bamber Bridge, Lancaster City and Rossendale United, flew to Rio and appeared on the same pitch as the scorer of 48 goals in 71 Brazil appearances, despite a last-minute scare.
"The night before the game my fiancee and I went to a restaurant and I had steak," Black told BBC Sport. "I woke up in the middle of the night feeling ill. My fiancee had to rush to the pharmacy the next morning for some tablets.
"There was no way I was going to miss out on playing at the Maracana in a match featuring Zico. It's the stuff of dreams. It was an unforgettable experience."
The Maracana is a world away from where Black plies his trade - for no pay - for Guernsey FC, nicknamed the Green Lions, in the eighth-tier Isthmian League Division One South.
"Guernsey FC are a new club, this is only our fifth season. A good FA Cup run would be great exposure for the team, fans and the island," he added.
Black has played for Guernsey FC from the very beginning, scoring the Channel Island club's first ever goal against AFC Wimbledon in a pre-season friendly four years ago at the 5,000-capacity ground they share with the local rugby union club.
They were accepted into the 10th-tier Combined Counties Football League Division One on the condition they pay the travel costs and overnight accommodation of all visiting teams and match officials.
It's a condition that still exists after two promotions in their first four full seasons.
"We have to raise £400,000 every season just to cover the running costs," Steve Dewsnip, chairman and co-founder of the club told BBC Sport. "We don't pay our players any money, we're a registered charity and the club is owned and run for the benefit of the local Guernsey community.
"We're fortunate to have support of so many different sponsors, over 100 different businesses or people provide sponsorship to the club."
One condition the club does impose on new signings is that they must live on the island, which has a population of around 66,000.
They were able to sign former Atletico Madrid youth player Guille Fernandez in July after he moved to the island to work in a hotel.
Dewsnip runs an investment fund business on the island and helped fund Black's trip to Brazil.
Black has Zico's signed shirt from when he captained Flamengo to a 3-0 win over Liverpool in the Intercontinental Cup in Tokyo in 1981 as a souvenir of his unforgettable experience in 2013, when he received a hug from the great man himself.
"He spent a moment with me before the game," he recalled. "During the game he gave me a hug and asked me if I was glad I was there.
"He was on the opposing team and 60 at the time. I started in central midfield and then ended up at centre-back."
With Guernsey closer to France than England, Black and his team-mates will have to be out of bed at 05:00 BST to ensure they make their cup tie at the Phoenix Sports Ground on time.
After a one-hour flight to Gatwick Airport, the team face another one-hour coach trip to the ground after a team meeting and meal at an airport hotel.
Kick-off has been brought forward to 14:00 BST to ensure the Green Lions get back to Guernsey on the same day.
Win or lose there is a buffet in the clubhouse after the tie before departure back to Gatwick no later than 17:00 BST.
"A huge amount of planning goes into every away game," added Dewsnip. "The players are up at five o'clock in the morning to get an early plane off the island. Midweek games away from home involves the players staying in hotels.
"Our team is made up of amateur players so as soon they get back to Guernsey the morning after a game they are straight back into work."
Guernsey-born former Southampton and England midfielder Matt Le Tissier made an appearance for the club in April 2013. The 44-year-old came on for the last 10 minutes in a 4-2 defeat by Colliers Wood United.
Le Tissier, who made 541 appearances for the Saints, winning eight caps for England, was an honorary president of the Green Lions at the time but stepped down from the role in August 2014 because of work commitments.
His brother, Mark, is secretary and a founding director of the club.
Former Northern Ireland Under-21 international Black said: "I was once a mascot at Southampton and was on schoolboy forms there. Matt was a huge influence when I was growing up."
Saturday is the fifth FA Cup tie in Guernsey FC's short history.
After entering at the preliminary round stage in 2013-14, they reached the second qualifying round before losing to Dover Athletic. They were drawn at home but had to play the tie at the headquarters of the Sussex County Football Association at Lancing because a fixture clash with Guernsey RFU.
"We haven't played an FA Cup tie on Guernsey yet," said Dewsnip. "I will be a very proud man when we do.
"To host a tie in the world's most prestigious cup competition on Guernsey would be another milestone for the club."


There was "no cheque book" involved in the assurances given to Nissan ahead of its decision to boost UK production, Business Secretary Greg Clark has said.

The carmaker said it would build two new models at its Sunderland plant following talks with the government.
Ministers have declined to confirm reports that a written promise was made to protect the company from any consequences of Brexit.
Labour said the government should set out exactly what was promised.
Speaking on BBC Question Time, Mr Clark indicated there had been no offer of financial compensation or state aid.
"There's no cheque book. I don't have a cheque book," he said.
"The important thing is that they know this is a country in which they can have confidence they can invest. That was the assurance and the understanding they had and they have invested their money."
He said the announcement was "fantastic news", particularly for the workforce as the deal secures 7,000 jobs.
The Japanese company's commitment to Britain's biggest car plant had been in doubt following the referendum on EU membership.
Mr Clark's department declined to comment on a report in the Times newspaper that he had written to Nissan's board promising to ensure that UK operations would "remain competitive" after Britain left the EU.
According to the newspaper, "Mr Clark's letter is regarded by Nissan as a promise that it will not have to bear the cost of punitive tariffs on car exports if Britain leaves the EU customs area without a free trade agreement in place".
The Nissan announcement has led to calls from other car manufacturers for similar pledges.
Toyota said it trusted the government to provide "fair treatment".
But a senior Nissan Europe executive, Colin Lawther, said the company had received "no special deal".
"It's just a commitment from the government to work with the whole of the automotive industry to make sure the whole automotive industry in the UK remains competitive," he told the BBC.
"We would expect nothing for us that the rest of the industry wouldn't be able to have access to. We see this as a whole industry thing, not a Nissan thing."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the government must disclose any deals struck with the firm, saying it could not hide it from the public.
Nissan confirmed it would build both the new Qashqai and the X-Trail SUV in Sunderland.
A company spokesman said making the X-Trail could lead to hundreds of new jobs being created in the coming years. It will be the first time the model has been made outside Japan.
The plant produced 475,000 vehicles last year - 80% of which were exported.
Production of the next Qashqai model is expected to begin in 2018 or 2019.


Barrow have signed midfielder Akil Wright on loan from League One side Fleetwood until 7 January.

Wright, 20, joined the Cod Army in March 2015 after impressing with Northern Premier League side Ilkeston.
Last season, he spent a month on loan at National League North side AFC Fylde, netting twice in four appearances.
Barrow are currently sixth in the National League. having won seven of their opening 13 matches.


Organisations in Scotland supporting veterans will be able to apply for a share of £600,000 funding, delivered over the next three years.

The Scottish Veterans Fund helps projects provide services in areas such as employment, housing, and wellbeing.
Veterans Secretary Keith Brown said the Scottish government had pledged £360,000 - its largest contribution yet.
The fund will open for applications this autumn.
The boost includes a three-year £240,000 contribution from Edinburgh-based investment company Standard Life for employment schemes.
Mr Brown said: "For the past eight years, the Scottish government's Scottish Veterans Fund has been a source of help for projects that make a vital difference to people's lives.
"I am delighted to announce our largest contribution yet, with the fund to be supported by £360,000 of Scottish government money over three years.
"This will ensure it continues to help small, one-year projects - while, for the first time, applicants can bid for two or three-year funding for more strategic projects.
"I'm particularly grateful to Standard Life for their commitment, bringing the total available to £600,000 over three years.
"This investment will enable charities and other organisations to provide even more support to veterans leaving the armed forces and settling in Scotland each year."
Since 2008, The Scottish Veterans Fund has invested more than £830,000 and supported 125 projects that provide support to veterans.
